1. Holiday Season Kickoff ([02:36] – [05:52])

The episode begins with Luis J. Gomez and Zac Amico diving into the holiday spirit. Luis humorously shares his efficient Christmas shopping strategy, leveraging Amazon's "popular Christmas gifts" search to complete most of his shopping in a mere five minutes. He quips, “I got 80% of my Christmas shopping done in literally five minutes straight just by typing in popular Christmas gifts on Amazon” ([03:19]).

2. Nostalgia and the "Peanuts" Christmas Special ([05:11] – [07:28])

The hosts reminisce about the 1965 debut of the "A Charlie Brown Christmas" special. Luis recounts memorable scenes, such as Charlie Brown's struggle with his Christmas tree and the poignant moment when the tree's pine needles fall off ([05:27]). The conversation unfolds into a critique of the show's melancholic tone, with Sean noting, “Charlie Brown. It's exactly right. It's a depressing for adults” ([07:10]). They discuss the characters' dynamics, touching on Lucy's complex relationship with Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty's portrayal.

3. Breaking News: United Healthcare CEO Arrest ([11:38] – [19:04])

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing the arrest of the United Healthcare CEO. Shannon provides updates, revealing that the CEO was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania, allegedly using a fake ID at a McDonald's. The charges include possession of a gun, a silencer, four fake IDs, and a manifesto ([12:22]).

Luis expresses skepticism about the severity of the situation, questioning the necessity of using a fake ID at McDonald's. The hosts debate the plausibility of the CEO's actions, with Sean emphasizing, “They have cameras” ([13:02]), and Zach suggesting, “My assumption would be he has it on him in case somebody clips him” ([13:38]).

The discussion deepens as they compare the CEO's manifesto to that of Ted Kaczynski, with Sean remarking, “He kind of nailed it” ([13:51]). Luis humorously speculates on the potential ease of writing a manifesto using AI tools like ChatGPT, saying, “Do you think he wrote his manifesto or do you think he just bullet pointed put it in the ChatGPT?” ([14:08]).

4. Satirical Take on Legal Consequences ([19:04] – [23:01])

The conversation shifts to a satirical analysis of legal repercussions for violent actions. Luis and Sean engage in a darkly humorous debate about appropriate lawsuit payouts for tragic events, such as a $310 million award for a family whose teen was killed on an amusement park ride. Luis controversially states, “Any human being. It should be based off their productivity in life” ([47:08]), sparking a blend of humor and uncomfortable truths about valuing human life.

5. Amusement Park Ride Accident ([35:04] – [43:35])

The hosts revisit a previous discussion about a fatal accident on a drop ride at an amusement park. Shannon provides a vivid account of the incident, where a 14-year-old boy was not properly strapped in and was ejected, leading to his death ([36:07]). The conversation turns to the legal aftermath, with Luis questioning the park's liability and the immense settlement payouts, such as the $310 million awarded to the family ([43:38]).

Sean and Andrew add their perspectives, contemplating the operational failures that led to the tragedy and the subsequent financial implications for the amusement park. Luis muses on the absurdity of such large payouts, stating, “There's no way that kid was bringing $310 million worth of joy to that family's life” ([43:52]).

6. Gun Ownership and Personal Security ([43:35] – [47:21])

A heated discussion unfolds around gun ownership as a means of personal security. Luis shares a vivid dream about defending his home, leading to a broad conversation on the necessity and implications of owning firearms. Sean supports the idea, advocating responsible gun ownership, especially in areas with slow police response times: “I always said I would have a gun if I was somewhere where, like, the closest police department was to an hour away or something” ([70:09]).

Andrew and Zac chime in, debating the balance between security and the potential for misuse. The hosts humorously exaggerate their stances, with Luis claiming, “I have so many guns, dude” ([70:31]).

7. Artificial Intelligence and Its Limitations ([35:04] – [77:56])

AI becomes a focal point as Shannon attempts to provide an overview of various topics using Google’s AI tools, which the hosts promptly criticize for inaccuracies. Luis laments, “Google AI overview sucks dick. They give you wrong information all the time” ([73:00]).

The conversation delves into the future of AI and robotics, with the hosts expressing both apprehension and fascination. Luis envisions a future where robots become sentient and potentially surpass human intelligence, leading to scenarios reminiscent of the "singularity": “They're bumping everything's out there. I'm looking. I, I, I actually, I thought about getting rid of all of the dirty on my phone very recently” ([78:42]).

Andrew shares insights on using AI tools like ChatGPT for daily tasks, acknowledging their usefulness despite current limitations: “I like ChatGPT almost daily at this point” ([80:24]).

8. Closing Remarks and Community Engagement ([77:56] – End)

As the episode nears its end, the hosts engage in light-hearted banter about their online communities and live chat characters. Luis introduces a new character, “Bong Hitler,” creating a humorous dynamic within their listener interactions ([62:28]). They also discuss upcoming shows, tours, and personal projects, highlighting their active engagement with fans and promotional endeavors.

Sean and Andrew promote their own projects, encouraging listeners to subscribe and follow their respective social media channels. The episode concludes with final jokes and a reminder to join their mailing list for exclusive content, maintaining the show's signature blend of comedy and candid discussions.

[Zach Amico]

Hello.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What's up, kid?

[Andrew Packer]

Chilling, man. How you doing?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Feeling good, man.

[Andrew Packer]

Nice.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Feeling very good. We got a great day. We're just getting the holiday season really going. Christmas tree went up last night. Did some Christmas shopping in bed this morning on Amazon.

[Andrew Packer]

Nice.

[Sean Donnelly]

So much better.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, my alarm went off and typically, I. I don't. I don't. I usually don't have an alarm, but since I've stopped smoking, my sleep schedule is a little bit kind of crazy. So I set my alarm, and my alarm went off about five minutes before I wanted to wake up my son. And I did. I'd say 80% of my Christmas shopping in that five minutes. I went on Amazon. I said, popular Christmas gifts. I just typed that into the search, and then I was like, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Done, you mean.

[Sean Donnelly]

But not for him, because he has a list.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He's got a. But he.

[Sean Donnelly]

Does he still have a list?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He still has got a. He doesn't believe in Santa anymore.

[Sean Donnelly]

Right. That goes away pretty quick.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But, yeah, I got a lot of stuff for him, but I got some stuff for the other family members. My niece. I got a lot of it done in literally five minutes straight just by typing in popular Christmas gifts on Amazon.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's at the point where they. Where they know more than you do what you want to get.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I was never going to get my son a 3D pen to draw 3D toys.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's cool, though.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's shit.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's pretty cool. I mean, if I was his age, it would just be fucking tits and penises. I'd be making little fucking dildos. And me.

[Zach Amico]

It's one picture.

[Sean Donnelly]

Or you make that. Remember that s. What was that, like, that 80s 90s thing where you did.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

The six lines and you connect them? Yeah, of course.

[Sean Donnelly]

Why was that universal, that thing?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's. I don't know. But I. I don't really doodle that as much. When I doodle, I draw the box and then the other box, and then you connect the box to make it a 3D box.

[Sean Donnelly]

Oh, yes. That's a good go to.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I. I doodle that like a. Yeah. And then I'll put a little flame coming out of it like it's on fire. It's a. Relax. Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

Just to get. Just punk rock with it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's it. Why not, right? Great show planned. Merry Christmas to everyone, even the Jews. I will say Merry Christmas to you guys. I don't play your game. Okay, you play my game. This is America. So we have a great show planned. What do we have against today. Shannon. In 1965, was Columbus sailed on a beehive?

[Shannon]

Nope.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I should have thought of it before.

[Shannon]

It was the release.

[Zach Amico]

JFK took a long G drive.

[Shannon]

A Charlie Brown Christmas debuted on television. 1965.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Charlie Brown Christmas. Can we see some of that, Shannon? I just remember the scene where he goes and he gets the. The tree and then the, the, the. The pine needles fall off of it. That's all I remember from it. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

All I remember is they made the black kitty at the other side of the table.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Did they?

[Sean Donnelly]

Is that true?

[Andrew Packer]

That's a real thing?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Franklin's on one side and they're all.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

On the other side.

[Zach Amico]

I could be wrong, but I have a. I have a vivid memory of it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Who were the Peanuts for?

[Zach Amico]

They were comic strip.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But were they for like kids? Like, did people like people?

[Sean Donnelly]

Charlie Brown?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Did people like them?

[Sean Donnelly]

It was like the comic strip turned and then they turned into the shows. They did all the specials. But I, I don't. I actually understand what you're saying because comic strips are kind of for adults.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. They're not really for kids. The funnies, they would call them, I guess. But. Yeah, I never like was it. Was Charlie Brown a TV show or they just did specials?

[Sean Donnelly]

Specials.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There was never a TV show.

[Sean Donnelly]

I don't believe so. No, I don't think there was. I think there was specials and then you'd have all the, all the. It was before my time with all the Rudolph and the frost. The snowman. Then you would see that. But you're like.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was.

[Sean Donnelly]

The first thing is when I was a kid, you're like, oh, that's. That's not impressive. It was just like the.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, I love, I love those things. I love those.

[Sean Donnelly]

Oh, I didn't. I care for those.

[Andrew Packer]

When it was like a clayation version. Those were the best clay.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And then the old Frosty. The Snowman was great, you know, but yeah, the, the, the Peanuts and Charlie Brown. I, I just. Whatever it was, was it, was it about. When did they debut? Were they around like the Depression era? Because they were depressing. Like they're a depressing cartoon. No, I think all the kids seem poor. Everyone's kind of sad. They're abused.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's 60s, I think it started. 60s.

[Shannon]

There's no parents around 1950.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

1950. Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's kind of like. Or a bunch of orphans. Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Like a Little Rascals type.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

Even the dog's depressed.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Dogs always lying.

[Andrew Packer]

I gotta sleep on the roof, man. I just Can't.

[Sean Donnelly]

Looks like he's in therapy all the time.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

Pondering existence.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, he's. Yeah, you're. You know what? You know what? Charlie Brown. It's exactly right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's a depressing.

[Sean Donnelly]

For adults.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's a depressing brand.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yes.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's not a brand that it brings any sort of joy. I remember you even as a kid being like. Like my son likes the Charlie Burn Christmas special now. But I think he's lying. I think my son wants to like old things cuz he. He knows he gets attention for being like, oh, I'm into like retro.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But I think he's a phony.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's like when you used to watch. Have you ever read Doonesbury by accident as a kid. Remember? Remember Doonesbury was like political comic strip.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

But it was still like. Even when we read it, it was like still about Vietnam.

[Andrew Packer]

It's all quips too. It's all snarky little clever things. You're like, oh yes. It's just not drawing like a haha moment.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't. Yeah. I don't know any of these. You know, Charlie Brown is kind of a fucking herb, right? He's like a fucking big headed. He got a little. He's got a little fucking dick on his head.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He's bald. That's a weird hairstyle. No kids look like that. And then Lucy was.

[Zach Amico]

Can someone please bring a Sharpie and just draw Charlie Brown hair on loads.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Do it. Not a Sharpie. Do it with a dry erase. You can get it off my head. I will do Shannon. I will let you dry erase the Charlie Brown hairstyle on my head, but only you. And only if you lean into me with those big fat cans. Big fat cans, Shannon. Yeah, I mean the loose. Did he. Did Lucy like him? Was she. She had a crush in him or she was a bully to him? He was.

[Sean Donnelly]

Lucy liked him. Lucy was his love interest. And then Patty was a lesbian.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Patty was his sister. No, no.

[Sean Donnelly]

Patty.

[Zach Amico]

No, no, no, no. The redheaded girl was his patrist.

[Sean Donnelly]

Oh yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Lucy was the football. The football. Peppermint Patty was Lucy's best friend who's definitely a dyke, Right?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Well. Oh, hold on, wait a minute. We're. We're getting this all confused now. Hold on. No, there's one girl, she had a scraggly voice like hi Charlie, I want to. Does she want to suck his dick?

[Zach Amico]

No, no, she's. She's dyke.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Lucy moved the football and he. He.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, she was. Black hair, blue dress.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

Peppermint Patty's like dark brown hair, glasses. But there was a redheaded girl.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yes, it was like a dirty.

[Zach Amico]

It was a redheaded girl. That was his thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Come on. No.

[Sean Donnelly]

Then there was Pig Pen.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, first of all, make sure that it dry erases first. Maybe do something back here. Okay. Dot, then dry erase.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yes.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's wild. That my head dry erases. That's crazy. That my head actually dry erases. Do you know what his fucking looks like? If you don't write gay, you're not funny.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's not as far as just.

[Sean Donnelly]

Your focus groups on his head.

[Zach Amico]

I was watching a thing of offensive jokes yesterday and I heard one and.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I felt her fuck it up. By the way.

[Zach Amico]

You're not done yet.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You moved. I felt her fucking up.

[Zach Amico]

I heard an offensive street joke I've never heard before yesterday.

[Sean Donnelly]

Let's hear it.

[Zach Amico]

How do you crucify a Honest Foster? It got me so good.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, that's not how his hair is. I think. Is it his hair? I think his hair is like.

[Sean Donnelly]

That looks like the. The symbol from True Detective.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is it like that?

[Andrew Packer]

Honestly, you could tell me that you're like an anime character.

[Sean Donnelly]

No, she has it upside down.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

She's.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's like a six.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

She's. She just did it wrong. She's.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's very similar. Just. It's flipped.

[Zach Amico]

I think you're going to shoot Daredevil.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I used to draw Charlie Brown when I was a kid.

[Sean Donnelly]

You like you're going to rip Indiana Jones heart out.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon. This is not the Charlie Brown symbol, you fucking asshole. It looks like you're drawing like a fucking.

[Andrew Packer]

It looks like it's going to start pulsing red at some point.

[Zach Amico]

And then you, Quan Chi from Mortal.

[Andrew Packer]

Kombat Lewis is going to achieve his.

[Sean Donnelly]

Dulcine Real dulcime vibes with that yoga fire.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What the fuck is this symbol? Shannon? Give me the goddamn.

[Sean Donnelly]

Just put your head upside down.

[Zach Amico]

Dry erasing his forehead is my favorite.

[Sean Donnelly]

Now she's got to put a swastika.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

God damn it, Shannon. You didn't do it right. And now it looks like I have a dirty head. God damn it.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's great.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, I have a very shiny. Yeah, yeah. Smooth head. That's exactly what. Let's see. Shannon, what's. Can we get an update on this United Healthcare CEO? Is there any he got a person of interest would take it.

[Sean Donnelly]

Somebody's obtained. What?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, no, I know. I just got excited. I read. I didn't. I just read United Healthcare CEO and I assume she was just a week late on news because that's a Shannon move. Like, is there any update? Shannon, A person of interest was taken in to custody. O. Wow. Drama llama.

[Andrew Packer]

So exciting.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, who is this person of interest?

[Shannon]

Okay, so they found him this morning, actually.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Really?

[Shannon]

It said that he was busted, possibly trying.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Man, we are breaking news right now.

[Shannon]

No way is that he was busted, possibly trying to use a fake ID at a McDonald's. But why would you use an idea at a McDonald's?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't know.

[Sean Donnelly]

He was buying coke from somebody.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Why would you need an idea of McDonald's that never. You never need.

[Andrew Packer]

He was just hitting on the cashier.

[Sean Donnelly]

You using a fake ID to McDonald's.

[Shannon]

It also sources said that he also had. He allegedly had a manifesto on him when he was taken into custody, as well as a gun, a silencer, four fake IDs and other items consistent with what authority.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is there any images of this arrest? Shannon, please.

[Shannon]

No, not of the arrest.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Not a single image of this guy being arrested. Nobody around was like, yo, that's the guy. That's insane.

[Sean Donnelly]

You know they have cameras.

[Shannon]

It was in Altoona. Pennsylvania is where they caught him.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wow.

[Shannon]

I can show you the original picture that Crime Stoppers was using for now.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, we know that.

[Sean Donnelly]

I've seen that one. Yeah.

[Shannon]

People love just happened.

[Sean Donnelly]

He's smiling ear to ear. He's so psyched. Yeah, the. Maybe it was McDonald's. Maybe he was questioned by a cop that was in the McDonald's because he.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Matched and then he showed a fake. That's pro. That probably happened.

[Andrew Packer]

I love the idea of leaving your house with a manifesto. Like you're like, I might need this today. I've got my whole moral and view on the world is written and in case something happens.

[Zach Amico]

My assumption would be he has it on him in case somebody clips him.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, that's what. Yeah, that's why you find it on him. That at least it gets out Turned the corner on the Ted Kaczynski one. Remember how back in the day they're like, he was crazy. Now they're like, he was kind of right about A lot of.

[Zach Amico]

He kind of nailed it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. I. To be honest with you, to even spend the time to write a manifesto, like, I believe him. That's just so much energy and effort. I'm going like, yo, there's probably something to it.

[Andrew Packer]

It's daunting. You know, you're sitting on that blank page. You can't start with manifesto at the top. That's too much pressure, honestly. Now you got to jot some ideas. And then do you think he wrote.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

His manifesto or do you think he just bullet pointed put it in the chat GPT? Chat GPT. Write me a dope ass manifesto. Because that's what I do. I just order a new mailing list and I'm like, I just bullet point on my chat GPT. Throw a couple doggies in there. Give me a fucking A post.

[Zach Amico]

If I know the government, they definitely have the word manifesto checked already.

[Andrew Packer]

Terrorists chat GBT is way too woke to give you a proper manifesto. It's going to take your manifesto and be like, well, actually, we think that, you know, you could seek out help here.

[Zach Amico]

It's also hard to have a focused one because remember that black guy that was a cop that then quit and killed all the cops? His manifesto just fucking meandered.

[Sean Donnelly]

Was that Dallas?

[Zach Amico]

It was the guy that would. It would be like straight up, like, you know, the cops. And then he'd be like, dave Chappelle wants that page of why he loves Chappelle. And then go back to the cops.

[Sean Donnelly]

It was an ADD manifesto.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

He could.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Look, if he was good, if he was good at writing, he would have stayed in school. He wouldn't even have to murder all those people.

[Andrew Packer]

I like the idea of there being like an editor who exclusively edits manifestos. Like, you have to submit it to him and be like, no, you don't get to claim this as a manifesto. You've got to whittle this down to two pages.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, No, I would. Yeah, for sure. If I was going to write a manifesto, I would chat gp. Why would even waste the time? Like the amount of energy and effort it would take to write a manifesto. I could be murdering people or just chilling.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, it's like time.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

Spent killing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Exactly, exactly. She had any more information about this guy right now?

[Shannon]

I think, like, over the next few hours is when we're gonna really find stuff out because this was just updated a half an hour.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, I want you to, we. We have to be on point with this today. Okay. Let's take a quick moment and thank Mando for supporting today's show, we love Mando here at the Gas Digital network and on the Lewis and Zach show, Amanda was whole body deodorant. Not just for your armpits, but your package, your grundle, your belly button, the crevices of fat throughout your entire body. If you stink anywhere, Mando has you covered.

[Zach Amico]

[Andrew Packer]

So exciting.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I was hanging out with Joe List last week. We did the regs. That comes out this Wednesday. And that's what this day it happened. Joe was just lit. He was like, this is the fucking best. There's a fucking guy out there shooting people. He was so excited to be a part of like this just like moment. Yeah, yeah. It's. The whole thing is wild. People are, People are just like, yo, fuck this guy though. He is still a human, right?

[Sean Donnelly]

Fifteen comics have bits already online.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, of course.

[Andrew Packer]

I've already got one out. You got to get it out. You can't wait.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But it's, I mean, like, yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

Did you see the Eric Davis thing or what's his name? The mayor? Eric Davis, right? No, Eric David. What's the mayor? Eric Adams. Did you see before he was caught? He's like, we have an idea who he is. But we're not releasing the name because we don't want to tip him off that he Bless you. That he's. That he's caught.

[Zach Amico]

But if that was me, he knows he did it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But if that's me, I'm going like, oh, they know. I don't. You don't need to say the name.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's what.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, that's me. I did that.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's what they said on like MSNBC or something. I was like the FBI guy for them was like, he knows now if you say that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. You don't need to say anything else. Right? Yeah. But some people are just like, yeah, you know, CEOs, health, you know, health insurance. I sort of feel the same way. But you know, you have to remove yourself from it. It's just a dude who got murdered. Right. And it's.

[Zach Amico]

I don't know. When you found out he. What was he dumped $210 million in stock. And how many people.

[Sean Donnelly]

Oh well he.

[Zach Amico]

They have the highest getting sued right now. He was in the middle of a. Yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

Amongst a bunch of them. So it makes you wonder like because ob. The people want to think, oh, it's a guy who's upset cuz his claim got denied for like his child, like a John Q Type situation. But it also is probably just like people trying to shut some people up.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. And so you think he was paid by some other people to. To do this and it's not just like a crazy person.

[Sean Donnelly]

No, it's. It's him I think cuz they.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Cuz he wrote like messages on the bullets.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yes, that's.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's.

[Sean Donnelly]

I heard that as well.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Which is like sort of. Sort of crazy. I think it's a. It's a crazy person.

[Zach Amico]

Also apparently that would have been a really long manifesto. Bullet by bullet. Yeah, well you know, that would have taken forever.

[Andrew Packer]

It's pretty w. Because you know, the gun jammed too. And the gun jammed on the bullet that said delay. I thought that was funny.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh really?

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

Wow. That's Bullet.

[Andrew Packer]

That said delay was the one we had to like.

[Sean Donnelly]

Apparently UnitedHealthcare has like the highest rejection rate, denial rate. It's like 35.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

35.

[Sean Donnelly]

Their claims are rejected. That's also why he was like pinpoint and all the sites, all the other companies are like, we're taking our executive photos down off our website just in case.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. I mean look, here's the thing. On one level you go, it's a human being. Number two, like Somebody's got to die. So if somebody's going to die. Yeah, make it a CEO for a health insurance company, you know. Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's kind of like if you got.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

To pick somebody to go the revolution.

[Sean Donnelly]

God's got this guy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Yeah. Very excited. Shannon, do me a favor. As soon as we get more information on this, please just chime in. You can, you can interrupt us, you can cut us off. I want to know breaking news on this story. Very interesting. Other breaking news right now is Jay Z is being charged with rape of a 13 year old girl. Which is crazy.

[Andrew Packer]

Well, he is being like. He put out a statement already about it. I read that this morning.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, please.

[Andrew Packer]

Went at it. He's attacking it head on because he's claiming that they're blackmailing him. So instead of accepting the blackmail, he went public immediately and. Which works you. I'm not like that. I'm from the, like, I'm from Brooklyn. I don't play these games.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Statement, Shannon.

[Sean Donnelly]

I don't believe it happened.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I have pieces of quotes from it. It starts with, these allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one. Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away. Would you not agree these alleged victims would deserve real justice?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Statute of limitations, right? 24 years.

[Andrew Packer]

Well, that'd be a bad way of attacking it head on. Statute of limitations, guys.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, no, but I'm just saying for him though, he's saying like attack it criminally, not civilly. Yeah, the statute of limitations says. Yes, I believe American law, Canada. I get that you guys have like morals and you're like, oh, if you rape somebody, it doesn't matter how much time has passed. Seven years. That's it, you're out. The weird thing is I'm, I'm out of my statute of limitations for all of my rapey shit that I've done in my life. So fuck you. And I'm not rich, so you can't sue me. So have fun.

[Sean Donnelly]

The worthy statement ended with ho.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So please, Shannon, go ahead, continue.

[Shannon]

By the way, it says that the lawsuit was filed under New York's Victims of Gender Motivated Violence Protection Act.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Say that again.

[Shannon]

New York's Victims of Gender Motivated Violence Protection Act.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They could shorten that name. Yeah, but what is, what is that about?

[Shannon]

It says that the accuser is speaking, is seeking unspecified damages and that they're, they're suing underneath under this.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They're suing. Yeah, they're suing. It's not actually. He's not being charged with anything. And is there recession limitations on child rape?

[Shannon]

So it's, it's because there really shouldn't be.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Right. We shouldn't allow child rapists to be like, ah, yeah, you got there exactly right.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, you got us snuck away.

[Zach Amico]

If they were good at waiting, they wouldn't be child rapists.

[Shannon]

It says in New York. Because I believe that's where this is happening. It says passed on January 2019. The statute of limitation expires when they turn 23. If the abuse or assault happened after this pass, the survivor has until they, they turn 55 to file a claim. That's what about a 20 year statute of limitation?

[Sean Donnelly]

It should be 25. So it's like the rental car and the child rape thing, kind of the same thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm sure. I don't, I don't understand the statute of limitations there.

[Shannon]

So it says for adult survivors, it's a. 20 years.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

20 years. So if they were, if they were banged when they were four. Molested. Sorry, I don't mean to make it sound so fun.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

If they were pleasured, they were brought back.

[Andrew Packer]

I feel like you need more than 20 years.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They were brought to Pleasure Town and back when they were 4 years old.

[Sean Donnelly]

If you're boned when you're 6, do.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You have until you're 24 years old then to. To f. But what happens if you don't even get into therapy until you're 25? What happens if you, if you block it out of your memory?

[Andrew Packer]

People don't unpack that till they're 30. Something unpack.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Packer, you. Oh, I know what you're doing there. Yes, dude. Hold on, hold on. I love that. Hey, that was a good joke.

[Shannon]

I do have some more information about the alleged assault. So it said when she was.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon's a good girl. I love how she throws alleged in there. So Shannon's a good girl who was abused a lot when she was younger.

[Shannon]

Not that I remember. So at 13, she was driven to an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty. Apparently she didn't have tickets to the event. So she was outside trying to like make friends with the limo drivers.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I bet she was.

[Shannon]

And then one of them was.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm not obviously don't rape this child. Let me just. Can I preface my neck before I even get into what I'm about to say?

[Zach Amico]

Of course.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Let's just put this in a box where. Don't rape children.

[Zach Amico]

Don't do it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's there brave. That's. That is aside everyone. Folks, don't do it. But now we can have an honest conversation about what is this 13 year old girl doing trying to get at the MTV Awards. It's insane. Where's your father? Where's your mother?

[Sean Donnelly]

Where's your parents?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Why are you 13 going to an after party at the VMAs.

[Zach Amico]

Limo drivers. That's like when you go to the Van Halen concert and blow a fucking.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, like the roadies or the roadies.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That is a girl who knows what she is doing.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. That's like the girls that hang out at the lobby where they know NBA players are staying. She knew how to access it.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's like almost famous, but like just creepier.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely her fault on this one.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I didn't say that.

[Sean Donnelly]

No.

[Andrew Packer]

Oh, sorry.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We already put that away.

[Andrew Packer]

My bad.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's gift wrapped.

[Andrew Packer]

I just understood. Oh shoot.

[Sean Donnelly]

There's no blame. It's just. I understand. I actually, it's like, like, where's your parents? That's your parents. I don't blame how you blame the parents.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

My son's turning 12 years old in two weeks.

[Sean Donnelly]

So imagine a year from now if he was just down hanging out at a like a soldier boy situation and he's.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And he's a boy and I wouldn't even let him do it. And granted, it's different times. When I was 13, I was out and about and doing whatever the I wanted to do, but I wasn't a girl. And I definitely wasn't doing things like trying to get into rappers after parties. Yeah, that's some.

[Andrew Packer]

Like your son pulled them. Like if your son hooked up with like Dua Lipa, that would be like the coolest motherfucker.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It would be pretty badass. Duly was pretty smoky. Yeah, she's pretty hot, folks.

[Sean Donnelly]

But I wholeheartedly agree. It's like, why were you there? That's the, that's the real question.

[Zach Amico]

There's a reason Rob Zombie kicked you off that tour bus, Louis.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, that's actually true.

[Zach Amico]

Didn't want a child on that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I was. That's a great point.

[Sean Donnelly]

Was that a real story?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I got, I went. I snuck backstage at Ozfest. Me and my buddy Dave green.

[Sean Donnelly]

How old?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

16.

[Sean Donnelly]

Okay.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

15.

[Sean Donnelly]

Which is actually a world of difference.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Difference. It is a world of difference. But at the same time, we were kids.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And we snuck onto the. This tour. We didn't sing on a tour bus. We snuck backstage. We went under like a fence and we saw like all the tour Buses. And then we saw John Dolmayan, who's the drummer from System of A, down on a BMX bike. And we started just chatting him up, being like, oh, dude, you're my favorite drummer, my favorite band. He's like, dude, he's about to go to an after party at the Buses. You guys want to come? And he invited us. I know. I'm realizing John Del Mayan might have been trying to suck our cocks. There's no reason for him to invite these boys back to the bus. I always thought I was like, what a cool guy. This guy rules, John. And by the way, also to this day, you know what happened afterwards. Did I ever tell you this? Eskimo Brothers with John Delmian.

[Sean Donnelly]

There you go.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I. A girl at Caroline's comedy club back in the day, just this whore bag, this. This absolute pig. And I think he dated her. It wasn't she just him. I think she was like, with this guy. This girl was one of the biggest pigs I've ever. I just met her. I was. I was, like, hosting for Big J. I wasn't even the feature. I was, like, hosting.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

She came backstage, she sucked my dick in the bathroom. Then I ended up hooking up with her that night. She wanted me to cream pie inside of her. That was her thing. She was like, come inside of me, like, the whole time. And I was like, not so much. I'm gonna put a condom. Yeah. This is crazy. It was one of the only times I've ever decided to wear a condom when a girl was, like, forcefully saying she wants me to come inside of her. It was nuts. And she was a true lunatic. But anyway, John Del Mayan, pretty sure he wanted to suck and fuck these us as boys. He brought us back.

[Zach Amico]

Not the middleman.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. He brought us back to the bus. The middle lady, Rob Zombie was on the bus, right? And Rob Zombie goes, who are these fucking kids? And he kicked us off the bus. Up until just now, my whole perspective on this story was John Delay in Rules. Rob Zombie's a piece of shit. What a fucking asshole. Why would he ruin her dream? But as an adult with a child who's almost at the age of getting banged on the back of some bus, now I'm realizing that Rob Zombie was doing the response responsible thing.

[Zach Amico]

Because they were about both things can be true.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's also probably true. But I think Rob Zombie was being the responsible one. John De Mine was.

[Zach Amico]

That's exactly reckless.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, but when you're 16 at that. Also our generation, you're Right. It's. It was different. Like you would have been fine. But Rob Zombie's like, I don't have to put up with it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Go ahead.

[Sean Donnelly]

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna. Because you never know what was going on.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Maybe they were about to start doing drugs also. We were just like a bunch of kids. They were like, we're cramping their style. Obviously it wasn't.

[Zach Amico]

Hey, it's weird, B. Like, who knows if somebody's like the sheriff's nephew.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And police are gonna pile onto the bus.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yes, that's exactly right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Very weird.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. I wouldn't as an adult, I would not do anything involving children if there was like, if a bunch of 16 year old kids came to my comedy show, I would think it's weird. Just even after being at the show in general. Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

You just steer clear.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

Literally last week and someone had their 10 year old there, I was like, what are you doing? And it's always these parents are like, ah. They get up to way worse on the Internet.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

This isn't better. You're making this weird for everyone.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah. Like you're still at fault for that as well.

[Andrew Packer]

I didn't even know it was legal in this country. Like to have booze out in a late environment.

[Sean Donnelly]

Depending on where it is.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Like a rat. If they serve food, I'm assuming it counts as a restaurant. You could have booze in a restaurant. You could have your kid in a restaurant.

[Sean Donnelly]

Give you 18. But then you don't. Just don't get served. You have to show ID.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think the stand is 16 to get in.

[Sean Donnelly]

Is it?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think so. I believe so.

[Andrew Packer]

Every club should be. Come on.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think the stand is 16 to get in. Skank Fest 1 year was 16 to get in and we changed it after that. We now it's 21. Was 18 for a year. But it's like we're talking about so few of our fans are under the age of 21. Let's see. All shows are limited to the age of 21 plus 16 plus the guardian. Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah. So it's with your parents.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. But yeah, people ask us to come to Skank Fest all the time that are under 21. Yeah. It's just not.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's not worth it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's not worth it. It's an environment where people are getting wild. I don't want to as a. Even just the booze fact, as a producer of the event, I don't want to have to worry about some 17 or 18 year old kid. Or even 19 year old they will get a hold of alcohol, right?

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, right.

[Sean Donnelly]

How couldn't they?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Like they're going to get some. There's no doubt about they're going to get some alcohol. I remember when I was on shiprocked there was a. There's. It's a heavy metal cruise and Jay Z went again this year but I did it years ago and there was. There was a mother and daughter on this cruise. The daughter couldn't have been a day over 15 years old. This girl was so young. She was really young. And every like. I wouldn't say every but there was like four or five different like rock stars that were like trying to. This girl. Wow. And I. She definitely hooked up with somebody. Plain view of everybody and plain view of her mother. It was like she. They brought her. Her mom was a boat rock and she was turning her daughter into a boat rock or. And I was just going like how is this girl even allowed on the cruise? They bring kids. They bring.

[Zach Amico]

Which I say international water.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is that. Is that an old wives tale though? Is that a real thing? Can you fuck children on the high seas?

[Sean Donnelly]

No. What is that the Epstein rule or something? I don't know.

[Andrew Packer]

It's not really good. Good knowledge to just have ready to go. Yeah, actually you can.

[Zach Amico]

Some of us err on the side of better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

[Sean Donnelly]

You know what it is? It's if you have all the different states.

[Zach Amico]

No, there is no universally recognized no, there is no right. There is no universally recognized age consent. International waters. Instead of a sexual act occurs on a ship in international waters, the laws of the ship's flag state the country generally apply. Meaning the age consent would be determined by the country's laws.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Country's laws.

[Andrew Packer]

That'd be a tough thing to learn while in court.

[Sean Donnelly]

So that the rock crews had a Syrian flag on the front of it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No idea. But it was like. I just remember being like yo, that girl is really young. She was just young. Like a really young girl.

[Sean Donnelly]

And it's upsetting. It's like unsettling to watch. Like for real.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I felt like an. Because I was like. I wanted to her. I was like well I'm not a rock star.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's different than actually trying.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No.

[Zach Amico]

Also the. Some of the options on the boat. Maybe going to jail was better than.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Some of these ladies.

[Sean Donnelly]

Was it Sebastian Bach?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was a bunch of like heavy metal bands. But I don't remember. I wish I could call them out on their pedophilic behavior because it was Literally a couple of the bands were like that. Didn't that happen on that MTV show years ago? There was an Ozzy Osbourne show. Like it was, I want to say it was a reality show about trying to get your band on Ozfest. Okay, Right. And it was. Yeah, it was, it was like they were, they were doing like challenges and your whole band, it was like it was just during the time of like reality TV where everything was like everyone's living in a house and you have to do a challenge and this the other. It wasn't just like performing or whatever. And yeah, one of the bands got kicked off because I believe the singer brought like a 15 year old girl onto the bus and her. Wow. And it just, the, the only repercussions was they were kicked off that week. Like they lost the challenge.

[Zach Amico]

The challenge was to not a 15.

[Sean Donnelly]

Year old if it was. And also it's pre social media. So right, this is back what, 98 or something or 2000 something?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

2001, maybe. I mean it was like at the very beginning of social media, like when MySpace was maybe around or one of those things. Shannon, give me some.

[Zach Amico]

I don't remember this show.

[Sean Donnelly]

I don't remember it either. I just remember the, the family.

[Shannon]

So the, the show was battle for Ozfest and it said, I feel like this can't be right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Do me a favor. Timeout. Bum steer. And the racist. Live chat for one hour for posting images of my ex girlfriend friend. Okay, Right now. Thanks. Go ahead, continue. And anyone else who does if they think it's going to be funny. Let's go. Let's go. Let's play this game. Shannon.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, one hour. Just bumps the air. Bumper gets one hour.

[Sean Donnelly]

He's not Charlie Brown. He's Charlie Charlie.

[Zach Amico]

He's gonna erase the things on the outside of his head, not the inside.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's Charlie Browner.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Also. Crackpot whisper. One hour. In fact. Anyone who does it now, three hours, Shannon. Anyone who does it from now, from now on. Crack, pot, whisker. It's three hours now. Thank you. Wow, thanks.

[Andrew Packer]

I know you're ruled with such an iron fist.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, this is not a fucking democracy. You don't get the fucking post what you want.

[Andrew Packer]

I've seen some wild shit come through there. And I was like, oh, I guess it's like, it's like Twitter. It's like anything goes.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But no, anything goes except for images of my ex girlfriend.

[Andrew Packer]

[Sean Donnelly]

I never saw it.

They give you wrong information all the time. Oh yeah.

Is slip knot. No. Battle for OzFest Episode 3 yeah, that's not. It's not slip knot.

[Andrew Packer]

Oh, I gotta, I gotta read more.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Try to, try to find it for me. It's interesting but it's, it's.

[Sean Donnelly]

You know, that's the. It's also one of those things where if it was now, the minute it happened, everybody would just know immediately. Like right when it happened. Yeah, they weren't cooked over there. They were kicked off.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think that the band that got kicked off was from my. Not my hometown but very close. Like my county where I grew up. Up. And they were, they were. That was like their Big things. No, it was on. T was on tv. I was. I was a big metalhead. I went to OzFest. 97, 98, 99, 2000. 2001. Speaking of which, System of a Down Corn playing MetLife Stadium in August.

[Sean Donnelly]

I like System Doggy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

All right, let's see.

[Sean Donnelly]

What's. The singer lived next door to Eddie IFT for a while. Did you know that?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What's in here?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, really? Yeah. That's fun.

[Andrew Packer]

Serge Tankian.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Because we had Eddie Upton skanks a while ago when he told us that.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Any more information about that?

[Shannon]

Not yet.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Thanks. How do you. I mean, it's a big story. How do we not find that out?

[Sean Donnelly]

They buried it. They just washed the Internet. Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

All right, so let's see. We'll do a follow up on this. Jury awards $310 million to a family of a teen killed on the amusement park ride. So we covered this a while ago. This was an amusement park ride where it was like one of the drop one.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, wait, I'm sorry, can we go back to the Jay Z thing real quick?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, shit. Did we. We just move on from that?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, we moved on from.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Did we figure out anything else?

[Andrew Packer]

We just started talking about pedophiles for a while.

[Zach Amico]

One of the things in the.

[Sean Donnelly]

As you do in the, the, the.

[Zach Amico]

Allegations, it said it was 13 year old girl gets there, gets drugged, goes to, they put her to bed and it says P. Diddy, Jay Z and an unnamed female celebrity who they refer to as Celebrity B Watch. And I don't. The, the wording is so intentional.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, the way they put it.

[Zach Amico]

Because they obviously can't say who they want people to think it is.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

But they literally call her celebrity capital B.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What. So what other information this lawsuit give Shannon?

[Shannon]

I mean that's, that's the long and the short of it is she said that when. That the limo driver responded to her. She said that she fit what Diddy was looking for and invited her to the party. She said people were doing marijuana, cocaine. They gave her a drink that made her feel woozy and lightheaded and she needed to lay down. And then she said Combs and Carter entered the room with Combs saying, now you're ready to party. That's when she alleges Carter removed her clothes, held her down and raped her while Combs and an unnamed female celebrity watched. She said Combs also raped her as Carter and the woman looked on the suit said she was able to resist performing oral sex on combs by hitting him in the neck. And that's when he stopped. After the assault, she grabs her clothes and left. Made her way to a gas station and then her dad picked her up.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And her dad picked. She's got a dad? Yeah, apparently she got a dad this whole time.

[Sean Donnelly]

The thing is, when all the Diddy stuff came out, I don't remember, they said that Jay Z and Beyonce like were just radio silent about the whole thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

And then they just cut them off. There was like some kind of business relationship or something that they were just like, nope, we're done. So it's like, is, are they connected or are they.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think didn't happen. And they're all these fucking rich people are doing mad shady, fucked up shit.

[Zach Amico]

I think it's why Ben Affleck got away from JLo. I think she's gonna get taken into.

[Sean Donnelly]

But for being around.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

You don't think she did anything. You think she knows. She knows a ton of shit.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, I can see that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

I think a lot of people don't like her already.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

These famous people. I think you have tons and tons of money. You're at these parties, you're fucking, you know, think about how many people were there. Like, you don't even know what's going on. You just. I, we would have all gone to a P. Diddy party back in the day. You didn't.

[Zach Amico]

I go, now.

[Sean Donnelly]

He wasn't gonna.

[Andrew Packer]

Now I would have just been hanging out by the dips hummus, totally unaware of what's going on.

[Sean Donnelly]

It totally blew up because remember back in the day, the rumors were like, oh, these parties are nuts. And that he's like also gay or he's bi or whatever it is. That's the only thing I heard for 20 years. And now they're like, like human trafficking. And then you see the video of him kicking the girl in the head. You're like, oh my God, it's like an evil dictator.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, that was a hell of a kick too.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I didn't see this. Oh, dude.

[Andrew Packer]

It was like a soccer goalie drop kicking a ball. That was the level of swing he put into this.

[Sean Donnelly]

And the bad boy.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, it was, wasn't it, Sierra? I'm pretty sure it was Sierra.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah. Sierra.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah. He like full on just wails. It's kicked in this hotel.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, but I didn't think that was the case. I thought it was just that he was like the party guy and then he was closeted and that was it. I didn't think it was like you're running this like international crime syndicate.

[Zach Amico]

Ken Williams had the bit where about how he hasn't been famous that long and you go to a famous hip hop party.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

And you walk into the wrong door. Not two n words. Kiss him. I did not expect that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. So, yeah. Look, it's all fucking shady. It's all weird. I think we're gonna find out. A lot of these people are scumbags. And I think a lot. A lot more of them just got away with it. A lot more of them just pay. When you're that rich, you could just also pay poor people off. So, you know, think about that. Like this girl, she's suing. Think about how many people try got to the point where they're going to do that. And then you're just. You're worth hundreds of millions of dollars. You go for $10 million, this goes away way.

[Sean Donnelly]

Absolutely.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Think about how many people are just paid off every day for this type of thousand percent evil. All right, so he should talk to me about this. This team killed this. This was. We covered this a while ago. It was a ride, one of those drop down rides. It was a heavy set black kid who wasn't properly strapped into the ride. So when it comes down to the bottom, he just flies out of it and dies up.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, wow.

[Shannon]

I do have that video if you want to see it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Sure. Let's watch a kid die. Shannon.

[Shannon]

Does that mean you don't want to?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Good. Oh.

[Sean Donnelly]

Oh my God. You hear the sound too?

[Andrew Packer]

That's so much worse than I thought it was going to be.

[Sean Donnelly]

That guy does not he just watching. Why isn't he running somewhere? Oh my God. That's. Oh, it's like face to death.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

W. That's crazy.

[Andrew Packer]

Oh, no, that's it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I actually we. I don't think we ever saw the uncensored version.

[Zach Amico]

That angle. Well, that's rough. Is that blood coming out from under him too?

[Sean Donnelly]

Oh my God, this poor kid. But don't they have like the limits on these things where they're like, we can't strap in, you can't do the thing. You can't be this. You got to be this height and all that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, well, I think what it was a malfunction. I think they ended up suing the company that manufactured the ride. You sue everybody in this situation, right. You see the amusement park, you sue them.

[Andrew Packer]

Can't believe how quickly you pulled that up. That was like Shocking.

[Sean Donnelly]

Right there.

[Andrew Packer]

That was the only thing that reminds me. Remember then that guy playing, doing the luge? You got hit in that pole in the Olympics years back. You ever. You guys don't remember that? This guy's doing the luge, comes around this corner, and now we're from a.

[Zach Amico]

Country that doesn't give a shit about that stuff.

[Andrew Packer]

The Winter Olympics, dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Fucking lose yours.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

What's your other story about a moose?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Relax.

[Andrew Packer]

That shit was crazy because there was this, like, steel beam, and this guy comes around the corner, and then the way it just. Like he hits the sides like that, and then comes up, and you just see his head just go right into the steel. Yeah, I got. It was on YouTube for, like. Like, 13 minutes and before they ripped it down. But.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So this kid from.

[Sean Donnelly]

Sorry, but you remember, it's related to this. Remember the one from back in the day where the girl apparently free fall at Great adventure, she got her hair caught in the thing, and it just scalped her. Like, it went. That was the story.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

They did that bit on Always Sunny with her braids.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yes. Okay. Yeah, that. That's from. I think that. From back in the day. That makes sense, too, because it was. I think it was, like, down towards there, like the jersey.

[Andrew Packer]

I don't think I'm ever gonna get on one of those rides.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No. I get really scared. I went to Sex Flags with my son, you know, maybe a month ago. Two months. Months ago. And I think about these things all the time. It really. My son loves roller coasters. And it's just the whole time I'm going like, this is it. It's just not worth it. I'm terrified. I'm actually. I'm. I'm more scared that he's gonna fly out of the ride than I'm scared for the actual ride itself.

[Sean Donnelly]

Right, of course.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And. But, I mean, look, would I accept his violent death for $310 million? Now, that's really the question.

[Andrew Packer]

Is that what they paid out?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

$310 million? There's. There is no.

[Andrew Packer]

That number. That's crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

$310 million.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's like, Soto money.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's so much money. $310 million.

[Sean Donnelly]

Did you have to stop?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

If that was my kid, I might. I love my kid. But I'm saying if that was my.

[Sean Donnelly]

Kid, like, if it already happened, it might ease the pain. Is that what you're trying to say?

[Shannon]

Also, I. I don't think he's the pain.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There's no way that kid was bringing $310 million worth of joy to that family's life. It's impossible, okay? No child brings $310 million worth of joy. I don't give a shit how cool your kid is. My son is not worth $310 million. I would not let him die for that much. But I will tell you right now, if he did die within one year, I am happier than I was than when he was in my life. Is that a wrong to say? But it's right, though. It's the truth. One year later, after you go, after you're done grieving, your level of life has rise so much, you're gonna go, dude, honestly, I never looked back.

[Zach Amico]

I'm not agreeing with Lois, but I'm just saying, you get on a ride like that to feel scared.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

That kid got his money's worth.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And hopefully for like two seconds. That kid had the scariest ride ever.

[Shannon]

Provided, by the way, there's also more money than this.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

More money.

[Shannon]

So. So I'm assuming this couple isn't together because it said they were awarded $155 million to each parent individually.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Of course they weren't together.

[Shannon]

Yeah, so. So also. So this lawsuit was against the builder of the ride.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

They also had already sued the park, and they settled for an undisclosed amount of money.

[Sean Donnelly]

Wow. So that. That. That company's got to be bankrupt at this point, because I. Those are those companies making. They can pay out $310 million.

[Andrew Packer]

Maybe they have to have insurance. Right. To run a business like that, you have to have insurance, and then your businesses die.

[Zach Amico]

Would it be up if they started an amusement park?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

The family. I mean, at what, Leroy land, you can't. Like, what do you do? How do you even, like, have that much money? Like, when the first time you buy, like. Like you're going to buy your private jet and you're like. Like, how much guilt are you riddled with? You're like, well, for you, like, your third Lamborghini, you're like. You're like, you know, I'm grieving. As you're spinning around by an island. Like, it's just rules, dude. How great was this kid? Was this kid gonna. What was he offering to the universe? How good was he good at math, at least.

[Sean Donnelly]

You just watched this kid's violent death, and you're talking about how he wasn't worthy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, I'm not saying I'm sure he was worth a lot. I'm.

[Andrew Packer]

You know, you should be the defense lawyer in that whole thing. Literally, they're like, the potential of this Kid and they're like, he was.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Was fat.

[Andrew Packer]

He wasn't going to do with his life. You saved him from type 2 diabetes.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Sean Donnelly]

Probably already had. It would have been gone in six years.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm letting you know right now. It's just obviously, you know, it's. It's. We are just kidding. But at the same time, like, there is a moment where you've gotten over the death of your child.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And now your life is so. You'll never get over the death.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, Right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You'll never get over the death. But there's going to be a moment.

[Andrew Packer]

Wants you to get over where you don't.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. But you don't think about it. And you're like, you know, you're just in a mansion and you're.

[Sean Donnelly]

You're on your yacht.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're on a yacht.

[Sean Donnelly]

You're insane parts.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's your life now. Yeah. You know, they. The. The. The intrusive thought does come into their head where they're like, yes, this is a better life. Unquestionably, that has to come in. You have to fight that thought every day of your life until it's like.

[Sean Donnelly]

Enough time goes by where people are like, he went. Also, you'll never get called on it. You'll never. Nobody will ever give you. For enjoying your life after the fact because they have so much sympathy for what happened. They'll go, he needs to enjoy his life. His son died.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

$310 million. No, I would say, like $30 million. That's. That's an appropriate payout for a child death.

[Sean Donnelly]

I think you're right. 30 million, and then at least you can be the appropriate amount of miserable.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

For the rest of a human being is not worth even $30 million. Any human being. It should be based off their productivity in life. And I would look at his grades. I would look at how he treated his teachers. I would look at like, what's going on? Like, then I would. I would pay them out like, all right. He was probably gonna. He was gonna probably make 70 grand a year. We're gonna. He's black. He's gonna. Life expectancy of 61 years old. You know, I would do $70,000 a year. He was 14 at the time. Versus 60 years, 35 years. Yeah. Yeah. Shannon, what is $70,000 a year times 50 years? Because that would be the payout that I would have awarded. And $70,000 a year for black person is pretty good.

[Shannon]

Okay, three. 3,500,000.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's a fair deal.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's a good.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

You should work for the insurance company. You have insurance brain, you know that. You know how you're like basically a. What do they call it?

[Andrew Packer]

Not an adjuster.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, adjuster. The guys who figure out the risk, what are they called? Actuary. Like an actuary for death.

[Zach Amico]

What they should have had in the courtroom was one of those big polls that lights up, like when you hit it with the sledgehammer and it shows how much worth, like how worth he was.

[Andrew Packer]

On its way back down, it like falls out.

[Zach Amico]

And when he hit. Yeah, it shows.

[Sean Donnelly]

So have his body as the marker.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He was likely gonna get now.

[Zach Amico]

Now it looks like the Himalayas.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Some prices.

[Zach Amico]

Right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

On the. On the other hand, though, on the other hand, this CEO that just died was making $10 million a year. So I believe that the wife should be able to sue this other guy for what is. He was 50 years old. He's got another 30 years. He's white, healthy, got a lot of money. So what is 10 million times 30?

[Zach Amico]

300 million.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

$300 million.

[Zach Amico]

So he got paid. Yeah, he got.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He got paid what the CEO was worth.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah. And could we. Could he. Could she sue United to be like, you're.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're.

[Sean Donnelly]

You're the reason why my. Maybe my husband's debt. So I. Why I want 30.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Whatever. You can sue everybody. I think. I think you could actually just sue for anything these days.

[Sean Donnelly]

I think you're right. Not in Canada. They don't do it.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, you guys love it. You guys are like, let's go.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Let's go jump in front of a car.

[Shannon]

I have some additional information regarding the Ozfest thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Please.

[Shannon]

So what it seems like is it says four members of one of the unsigned bands. So they weren't on the show very much.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, no, I know.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're already reading the Official Ausfest statement.

[Shannon]

No, I just found this on a forum.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Go ahead.

[Shannon]

And it said that. So they were on.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They were competing to get onto Ozfest. All the bands were on the show.

[Sean Donnelly]

They probably had real bands on it, but, like, tutoring the other bands?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, no, I remember the show. I liked the show. I was. I was. Maybe my band had broken up at that time, but I was in a metal band and I was really into going to Oz Fest. This was a show that spoke directly to me. This was a cool show. A 15 year old. They were children, but. All right, sorry. Continue, Shannon.

[Shannon]

Okay, so those four band members were out one night. They're out by the tour bus. Three girls came along. One of the band members tells another one who is short, fat and bald to tell the girls he is the clown from Slipknot, and nobody would know at the time. And so. And to basically like. Like get them to show their boobs, maybe hope for sex or something. So he tells them the lie, and the girls are like, wow, whatever. So the guy pretending to be the fake clown's bodyguard asked the girls for their IDs for proof of age. They never show that part to anybody. They show them the IDs, everything is cool. And then one of the cast members fake signs the girl's boobs and one girl's butt, and they ended up getting T that tattooed on them.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, I think you're talking about a different story.

[Sean Donnelly]

Well, do you think that girl. The payoff for that girl was an episode of my super sweet 16 the following year.

[Shannon]

This is all from that AUSF show, Battle Fries Fest.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, let's see.

[Zach Amico]

Man, Slipknot really made it easy to get laid.

[Sean Donnelly]

Just cover your face.

[Zach Amico]

Got in trouble, Shannon. Didn't we do that a few months ago, Sharon got in trouble for telling a story that a bunch of fucking sluts came in the back on Ozfest looking for Slipknot. And Sharon Osborne pointed them towards the tour account and was like, he's the cigarette slip knot. And she's like. And then they all it. And Sharon Osborne told it. Like it was a hilarious.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, Sharon Osborne, I believe, was a person who kicked this guy off the bus. Specifically. I remember this, but Sharon was like, oh, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I told these dumb sluts that that was a guy from Slipknot. They all them and I.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Back in the day, you could just do that. Like, you could call ahead and be like, before the Internet, before you could like check things. You just call a restaurant ahead and be like, yo, this person's coming into town. They're from a band. They're an agent or whatever. Get a man. Ralph used to do that with his friends.

[Zach Amico]

Ralph would do.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, that's a very Ralph move.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I had a friend in high school, his older sister looked like Chelsea Clinton. And yeah, she looked like. She wasn't hot is the point I'm trying to make. No, but she was like this gummy freckly. She looked a lot like Chelsea Clinton. And they would call around to places and get her in saying she was Chelsea Clinton.

[Sean Donnelly]

Really?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah. And they were just fucking open the door for one of my favorite lines.

[Zach Amico]

Do you remember, do you like Dr. Dirty John Valby?

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, I know, I remember from LB and Anthony.

[Zach Amico]

This one, the. He did the Adams family, but it was the Clinton family and it was. The father is a pedo, the mother is a lesbo, the daughter looks like Fido. The Clinton family.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's funny. Shannon, let's do some plugs real quick. And then we have a lot more show left here. We're having a fun day. Here it is. Monday. Holiday season is here. Shout out to everyone that's celebrating Christmas. Sean Donnelly. What are you plugging?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, he put that's quality content.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, quality content. He I I'm assuming his whole computer is just hot chicks. What a perv. What a perv.

[Sean Donnelly]

Like 1990s level where you just have the jpegs.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

He turns on his laptop and the fan is just constantly going.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What a creep. So let's see, what is this they're banning Tick Tock officially. Right? That's happening. Are you nervous?

[Andrew Packer]

Not really.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're big on Tick Tock.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah. But people have been saying that's gonna happen for a long time.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So they just upheld the, There was a lawsuit to block the band.

[Sean Donnelly]

Whoa.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Now they, they up. They upheld the ban.

[Sean Donnelly]

And so this is going through like Congress and laws and.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. It's like, wow, I didn't know that. Yeah. I think that they're concerned that China's spying on us and selling all of our information.

[Sean Donnelly]

From what I understand. I'm pretty sure they are the case that's.

[Andrew Packer]

You're gonna sell American information, it better be a goddamn American company. That's what I say.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But that's all of these things. I think we're gonna find out in a few years that this is all dangerous. The way that we are, the way we have everything uploaded ever, like, it's just too much. I think there's gonna be a massive security breach. Some shit's gonna happen on like a global scale where like people's bank accounts get reset. It's just too, we're just too connected. Everything's out there. I'm looking. I, I, I actually, I thought about getting rid of all of the dirty on my phone very recently because I was like, it's only a matter of time. It's only a matter of time before I leave my phone open in the bathroom somewhere or somebody hacks my phone or somebody figures out a password and that's that, that, that everything's out there.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, it's too loose and there's just so much of it that maybe they, maybe that's the positive is that there's too much, too many woods. So there's, there's so much stuff to even like. Well, they're not going to find anything.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. I'm not famous enough for people to care, but I think that there are a few people that I've banned from the racist live chat where if they had my password, they would go to town on me. Sure.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah. That's like personal. Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's going to be a whole to do.

[Sean Donnelly]

But, you know, even if you scroll through your phone now, like, like, even four or five years ago, it wasn't like it is now, where, like, it'll just be like a blurry version of like half a scene from a TV show with not even the, like the actual ending of it. Like the, like the punch, the punch line of the ending of it. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's Just people are, like, filming their TVs and throwing that on an account, and because of when they're doing it, it's just getting a bunch of views. It used to actually be like, here's an actual real clip of something, you know, like, it was actually full. Or be a standup clip or be something like, for real. Right now people are like, I'll just put whatever up. And if it works, it works.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Dude. I, I. One of the things I can't stand and I won't name names, but one of my least favorite things that comedians do Now, Andrew, I hope you don't do this. I feel bad now because you literally very well could do this. I realized I don't know you well enough to sort.

[Andrew Packer]

No, no shit talking. Let's go.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So I hate when a comedian will simply. They'll put another piece of content up and then they have the shot of their face in front of it, and it's literally them just laughing at whatever it is. Yeah, well, that's, that's it. That's the entire piece of content is them watching somebody else's content and giggling. You don't do that, right?

[Andrew Packer]

No, my different, like, comment on it. If you don't actually, if you don't turn, like, the audio on, you might think it's something like that. But if you turn the audio on, usually I have three other characters that I'm voicing at the same time. We're essentially doing a sketch on top of the video.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Right.

[Andrew Packer]

To, like, take your attention into a different.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

If you do something different with it, I respect it. Like, if you. Sometimes you'll see the ones where it's like, they'll show something and then the person has a reaction. But it's a funny reaction if you're doing it creatively. It's different. Different. Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

There's that, that guy who goes, what? That, like that guy. You ever see that cowboy guy?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No.

[Sean Donnelly]

Plays a really awkward, cringy clip. And then he goes, what? And I'm like, that's actually kind of funny.

[Zach Amico]

I like the black guy who looks through the blinds and watches white ladies cook.

[Sean Donnelly]

Is that a real thing?

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

What you doing in there? You ain't doing all right, but I.

[Sean Donnelly]

Know what you mean. If you're just laughing and I'm like, get out of the way and just let me watch the regular. The actual clip itself. Yeah, I'd rather just watch it myself.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I know. Just exactly. Let me just watch the actual clip. It's like your head just, like, laughing at it.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's weird.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Somebody said that. I'm calling out Che. No, I'm not. Che's funny. Chay, actually. Chay does creative with it. You know what I'm saying? Like, he'll have Che D. Oh. Oh, yeah. He's very funny. Funny. Another Canadian guy. Yeah, no, no, he actually. I'm not talking about it. I'm talking about literally just their head is in front of it and they're laughing, and you're like, how are you putting that out? No, that's not content. That's insane.

[Sean Donnelly]

No, it's crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I started. I started my first character on Instagram. People are livid. They're so mad. I started my own. The. The. My. It's a guy. The. The number one guest digital subscriber. And I did it. I was just high a few weeks ago, and then I did it, and then I put it out, and people like, dude, they were like, this is making me physically angry. So now I'm just doing it. It's me, the number one Gas digital subscriber.

[Sean Donnelly]

Creeping me.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I am so excited about the month of December, and you should be, too. Not only is it Christmas, which is the number one. All right, Shannon, we got it. It is cringy. It's actually making me cringe right now as I watch it. But I'm. I put it out on Instagram and it's making people so angry. It's. Dude, it's so funny to me. And I'm going to. I promise you guys, I'm doing this every week now. This is. My new character, is the number one Gas digital subscriber. We got to give him a name. We got to give him a name.

[Sean Donnelly]

Maybe we'll say that it's Philip or something.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, we'll give it. We'll steal one of their names. Bong Hitler. There we go. Bong Hitler just called me gay. That's it. That guy's name is Bong Hitler. Shannon, please write that down.

[Sean Donnelly]

Please get the wrath.

[Andrew Packer]

Is he always going to be shirtless in a hotel bed?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

And that's just a filter on Instagram.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

With a voice.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, there's no voice. That's my voice. That's me doing a character.

[Sean Donnelly]

Oh, that's you. That's my real voice modulation.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Let's see. This guy was kind of a real ass dude. You guys see the Florida guy who was arrested for shooting down a drone in his yard? Card?

[Sean Donnelly]

No.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

This guy rules. This guy was awesome. Let's see. Epicenting in the race. Live chat. Call me A hack.

[Sean Donnelly]

Hack for what?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

For that thing. Oh, how that's how I wish. More people are hating on it. They're not.

[Andrew Packer]

I mean, usually hack works.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

Confusing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Do you know what. Did they know what a hack is?

[Sean Donnelly]

That's what I'm saying.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

A hack is like. Yeah, you know, it's. It's dumb. It's cringey. You can say it's cringe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's kind of the point of the whole thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Exactly. A lot of people like it here. Everyone here. I'm getting compliments on in the race live chat. I can't even. There's no rhyme or reason in my fan base. There's no knowing picture.

[Zach Amico]

Just hundreds of that guy. Like, this is funny.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Pretty good, man. I like that.

[Sean Donnelly]

I like the Deadpools. All different versions of the racist live chat character.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Me suck. Cho Tit says I hate it. You jack off Omega Jordan says, we're too appalled to comment. Okay, let's take a quick moment and thank Yo Kratom for supporting today's show. We love Yo Kratom. Yokratum is home of the $60 kilo. And if you guys are over 21 years old and already in the market for Kratom, you got to [e-mail].

[Zach Amico]

That'S right. Stop going to bodegas, smoke shops, or gas stations. Get a little bit of Kratom at a time when you can go to yum.com when they have the best. Best strains, the best customer service, and they're the marquee sponsor of everything we do here at the network.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Once again, yocratum.com. no promo code needed. They already have the best price on the Internet. Yocratum.com Home of the 60 kilo. All right, where were we? Oh, I should say. I didn't. I didn't plug this. My tickets for my special are official. So my next special I'm taping on July 12th in Tampa, Florida, at side Splitter. So get tickets for that because they're. I think they're already, you know, selling pretty well. And they will sell out quickly. Don't wait until way later. We put them on sale very early. And officially, Robert Kelly going to be directing my next special.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Amazing. Very excited. Excuse me. Shannon, pull up this. This. Yeah, this guy with shooting his drone. This guy rules. We don't have the video of him shooting the drone. It's just him explaining it. And he's so matter of fact.

[Shannon]

Do you want me to, like, click through it or just kind of show the last funny part.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You could just. You could just whatever. Whatever you think, Shannon.

[Shannon]

Okay, I'll show the last funny part part, by the way. So just people. Just so people know, there was a. He said that there's been an issue in his neighborhood for a while where, like, drones fly over him. And so this particular day, there was a drone flying over his property. He shoot it away. It didn't go. So he got in his house, he got a gun and he shot it down.

[Andrew Packer]

He shoot it away. You know, he's just like, get off my lawn.

[Shannon]

So this is when the cops are there. He's been very nice the whole time, but now they have to arrest him. So that's.

[Sean Donnelly]

This is actually because he fired his gun.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, he discharged. You can't discharge a firearm. But he. He up. So. No. Yeah. You're not allowed. You. If you. If you shoot a gun at something on your. Even on your property, I think his problem. But I don't think that's on his property. In his front yard. Into the air is not his property. Right. It's.

[Shannon]

I think it's because, like, the casing fell outside of his property. So it could have hit a kid. They said there were kids playing in the culdesac.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Jesus Christ. So that's why that.

[Shannon]

That's part of it. Yeah. Is that it could have hurt somebody else.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I. Yeah. I don't think you're allowed to just take your gun out and start shooting at things in the air, even if you're on. You're standing on your property.

[Andrew Packer]

I thought that was the whole point of having guns. Guns in this country?

[Sean Donnelly]

No, they said, like, within your property, if somebody breaks in, you're within your rights.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So I think if he would have he up. So the cops come and we don't have to play that whole part, but they ask. He's just very honest, right. It's just a normal old dude. And you could tell he doesn't really know he's done anything that wrong. Right. He's being honest. He's like. He's like, yeah, this is an am. It was an Amazon drone. It wasn't just a drone.

[Sean Donnelly]

Right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's an Amazon delivery drone.

[Andrew Packer]

Nice.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Right? So he's like. He watched it. It's hovering over his house for a while, and he shoots it away. It doesn't do it. Then a thing drops down, probably to deliver something, and then he goes and gets his gun and comes out and shoots. Now, what he should have said was if he would have said in that moment I didn't know what was going on. I saw something coming out of it. It looked like a weapon.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And I was defending my. My family in my home. I think he probably could have just literally got. He might have still been arrested, but the judge was going to. That's like such a logical defense. But he literally. The cop, even before he reads him his Miranda rights, the guy's just like. He's like, yeah, I shot at it. You know, that's that. He's like, why'd you shoot at it? He was like, I don't know. We just kind of didn't know what it was. Yeah, it's just like, he didn't really. Like, he should have spoken to a lawyer first. He shouldn't have given a statement. Yeah, but more than, like, if I had a guess, he's not gonna really get into any real trail. Probably have to pay a fine. He's not gonna do jail.

[Sean Donnelly]

It'd be funny with his package.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Got Shannon coffee in the front.

[Zach Amico]

Whatever's come, whatever you need to do by protocol.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We've been fine.

[Zach Amico]

There's no issues. We're not, you know, just let me know if it's too tight, all right?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, I can't breathe.

[Sean Donnelly]

I can't breathe.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I can't breathe. And all the cops aren't laughing.

[Zach Amico]

Let him go. Let him go. Let him open for Lewis.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Dude, he rules. He rules. No, no, no. He rules. He was so. He was so. Matter of fact. He was so, like.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, like, maybe we should be thankful it was just a drone.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is there an update on what happened to him? Shannon?

[Shannon]

I wasn't able to find anything about a trial, so it might not have happened yet. But his bail was set at only $1,000, and they charged him with criminal mischief. Damage over a thousand dollars. And discharging a firearm in public, Overall, it's criminal mischief.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, you know what, ladies and gentlemen.

[Sean Donnelly]

He'S a real ass dude. He's got bad ass.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So hold on. It was only criminal mischief. I didn't. I believe the cops said it's a felony to discharge your firearm like that.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, but he joked his way out of the felony.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, maybe.

[Sean Donnelly]

Maybe. I doubt. He'll get. He'll get nothing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He'll get nothing. He'll get. He'll get a fine.

[Sean Donnelly]

Probably fine.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

You know, you should have him intro you for your special find. Find who he is and have him come down.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. We're in Florida. Is he. That guy would rule.

[Zach Amico]

That would be a good one to get yet.

[Shannon]

Lake County.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

Might be nearby.

[Zach Amico]

Know how he feels about Amazon drivers, too.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Now, I guess I'm thinking about getting a gun. I just. The other day, I had. So my dreams have been more vivid since I stopped smoking weed. And I had a dream the other night that I was lying in my bed. My. My whole dream was me lying in my bed. I hear somebody pounding on my door. I get up out of my bed. It couldn't be any more of a realistic setup. In the dream, I get up out of my bed, and I go check the door, and some dude starts trying to push into my house while my son's there. And it all just happened. Then I woke up, and I was like, oh, my God. And then in the moment, I tried to go. I was like, oh, I want to go that guy up. So I tried to go back to sleep in a lucid dream, my way into fighting this guy, and I couldn't do it. Yeah, I've never been able to lucid dream, not once in my life.

[Zach Amico]

So you need a gun so you can lucid dream to shoot him?

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, no, I. I started firing in the room.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, I just started thinking about, like, you know, I do.

[Zach Amico]

No, I get it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I do have a, you know, a family and a house, and I have things, and I'm very much, like, trusting. But, like. Like, people do break into homes and people do steal. Guns are badass.

[Sean Donnelly]

I think responsibly. It makes sense. I think having. I always said I would have a gun if I was somewhere where, like, the closest police department was to an hour away or something.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Even.

[Sean Donnelly]

45.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Even if the police department is 10 minutes away, it doesn't matter how fat. Like, you know. Yeah. I mean, I'm not. I think I'm also mentally mature enough at this point in my life where I could own a gun and then not be a problem.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, you're not gonna, you know, not eight.

[Andrew Packer]

It's probably a good security measure just to say you have guns when you have a bunch of podcasts that you.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, yeah, I have so many guns.

[Andrew Packer]

Saying you have guns.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So many. I have so many guns, dude.

[Sean Donnelly]

I have bazookas, ankles, grenades, bazookas.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Can I buy Shannon? Is that possible? No, that's military. Great. Right? What am I. What's the biggest, baddest gun I could buy legally in the state of New Jersey? Jersey.

[Sean Donnelly]

It's got to be, like, an assault rifle.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Right?

[Sean Donnelly]

It's got to be, like a AR15 type deal, but it probably takes forever to get. Actually, Maybe not. I don't know.

[Andrew Packer]

I Just get one of those 3D printed. Maybe your son can draw it later.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You think you drum?

[Sean Donnelly]

Can you make me an assault rifle?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Let's see. Runaway slob says Lewis better off not taking his guns out of the house. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't get a concealed carry permit. That's not what I would want. I would want a gun in my house. Just God forbid something went down in my home, somebody was trying to hurt my family. That's that.

[Andrew Packer]

Which would be like the worst thing. So stressful. But that one moment where you like it back, it would feel so badass. You're just getting ready to take out this dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I know how it feels to back a Nerf gun and shoot my son in the back of his skull.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You know how powerful? I feel like, oh, dad, can you.

[Zach Amico]

Mark the, the time and date for me putting $50 on Lewis shooting his own sister?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Maybe once the gun comes in, maybe she keeps on stealing my weed.

[Sean Donnelly]

I will say there's like the walking around that I, that makes sense to me, but the walking around, like, if you go on the road and like, where guns are, like, part of the culture of like, the city. Well, if you like Arizona, the dudes just walk around like it's the Wild West. And I'm, yeah, like, it was a manager at a club that had one. I was like, what is that for? He's like, protection. I'm like, against who?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think that. But in those moments, I don't know. But if I had to guess, violent crime is way less in those areas.

[Sean Donnelly]

I don't know.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Probably. I know when I'm in an area where people have guns, I know that I think twice about who I'm talking shit to, you know, and maybe, maybe not, but I guarantee that exists. I find out that information. If violent crimes are less likely to happen in areas where guns are legal.

[Zach Amico]

Concealed carries legend.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, concealed carry. So I, I mean, I just think that, yeah, you're just less likely to talk to somebody. You hear about people pulling guns out all the time during road rage incidents and shooting into each other's cars. That, that even makes me think, like, even just putting your finger up at somebody, you're like, you're going to deal with a crazy person who is just snapping. They're on the no. Violent crime is not less in areas where concealed carries legal. Shannon, stop using the Google AI overview. They don't know anything. They told us that Slip not raped a child and it was a guy.

[Zach Amico]

Pretending to be Slipknot.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I, I, me and my Son were watching the titty. Me and my, me and my son were watching a thing about the Titanic and we were wondering how much the prices were to get on the Titanic in first, second and third class.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Google AI overview. I mean completely wrong. They were like 150 for first class. I was like that's crazy. That's not true. But it's not even close to true.

[Sean Donnelly]

It can't be. That was like, that was like $10,000.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It would have been the equivalent of. I forget exactly what the price was. It was like 4, 500 in 1912 which is like 150, 000 today. Wow. For a first class ticket on the Titanic.

[Sean Donnelly]

Okay.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wow.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And then the third class tickets wouldn't the equivalent of like 1500 bucks today.

[Sean Donnelly]

Wow.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

To get on the Titanic.

[Sean Donnelly]

But yeah they it up all the time if they do that with net worth too. You ever do a celebrity net worth?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But that's not AI, that's just like a. That's just wrong information. Which is. It's fine. Google's AI is wrong so often it's crazy. Crazy.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Even Chat GPT can get it wrong. If you wanna. You don't really want to use chat GPT for facts.

[Sean Donnelly]

No. And they also try to get you subscribed to the Google one.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Like I subscribe to chat GPT. I pay for it.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, me too.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah.

[Andrew Packer]

Oh, it's like a friend, dude. I'll be in a new city and I'll just be like tell me why Columbus is like this. And it'll just tell me all like the history and everything. It's kind of fun.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. No, I, I really like it. I, I'll chat with it about like anything. It's like it's a friend. It's gonna get crazy. Like where it's at right now. I'll lose myself. I'll be in my hotel room and I'll be like brainstorming an idea about whatever about Skank Fest or about Gas Digital. And I'm like yeah, tell me about this. What about a company that does this and they'll just give you this information back and then they all have a log, it's all logged. It's all set for. You could have it in notes. Very interesting. And where it's going to get eventually this will be once this is in like a robot that's hot and has a. You don't need a companion. You know what I'm saying? Like they don't post pictures of that robot.

[Zach Amico]

Not in my chat you're banned.

[Sean Donnelly]

Don't post my robot, my three hour band, my ex robot. It's like hard, but like. Yeah, you're right. It'll be like in an actual being.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, they have the, the like, didn't Tesla. They're coming out with the robots now, right? The. The at home robots, which.

[Andrew Packer]

Yeah, but they're not hot. Super bummer.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They're not hot yet, but they will be eventually.

[Sean Donnelly]

What are they? What are those at home?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They're like droids that are eventually. I believe right now I just saw one where it like caught a ball. Like Elon threw a ball to it. It was like. And it's just like creepy. Throws it back to you. And you could talk to it. It has all the AI. It has Grok or whatever built into it and they can answer questions and be a companion. I believe right now it could do things like your laundry. You could program it to. You could also. They have a thing where you can go into the robot, right? So you can, you could go into it.

[Zach Amico]

Now we're talking.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You can, you can control the robot like from a remote location. Let's say you're on the road, you're like, oh shit, I forgot to walk the dog. You can go like in the robot and take over the controls and walk the dog and fucking.

[Sean Donnelly]

No way.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, I, I'm sure that's gonna be.

[Zach Amico]

Robot boxing in a day.

[Sean Donnelly]

Absolutely. It also be warfare. It'll be all the wars.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

100. It should be.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, it should. Yeah. Oh. Oh my God.

[Andrew Packer]

No, no. Throw it back, buddy.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, it's like everybody's dog doesn't play fetch, you know? What's it nodding at?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't know, dude.

[Sean Donnelly]

Why don't they make it look like.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Information about what it could do? Well, actually the iRobot specifically is suing Elon Musk because of the. Look, the, the. Or maybe he's not suing. They talked about it though. They said that they ripped off. They ripped off the like the concept of the robots from iRobot was. Was it Spielberg? Is that true, Shannon? Am I, am I making something up right now?

[Sean Donnelly]

Spielberg directed it. Yeah, I believe that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I believe the production company that, that I. There was some talks about them being like, yo, they stole our design.

[Andrew Packer]

If that's the case. I mean, every sci fi author is just laying in the cut right now.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, right.

[Andrew Packer]

It's just, it's literally like the lawyers that do the. Did you get hurt in a car or something? But like for sci fi dudes.

[Sean Donnelly]

But also, that's exactly what you would think those things would look, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's like that's not that far of an imagination. I think it just looks like a silhouette of a human.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What else can this robot do? Do we know as of right now and where it's going to go? Where it's at right now is crazy. It's so clunky and weird.

[Sean Donnelly]

Right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

10 years from now, 20 years from now, it's just going to look like us. They're going to talk like us, they're going to reason, they're going to be better, they're going to have better morals. They're not going to be fucking jealous. They're not. It's going to be, it's the writing's on the wall. Robots are taking over. Yeah. There's going to be a time where they, they introduce fucking, you know, there's going to be a moment where there's going to be half robots, half human cyborg shit where they're like, you know, a robotic heart and a robotic. All this other shit that's all coming down the pipeline and it's all fucking terrifying. And eventually, why wouldn't the robots take over if once they become sentient? Why wouldn't they? Well, that's what would be the issue.

[Sean Donnelly]

That's the singularity. And when they don't need us it, then we're done.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

So if that's the start of it. Because if it's physical and then, you know, something goes wrong tech wise, they just take over. They surpass us. They already already has. ChatGPT already has.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Sean Donnelly]

So that's like when we talk about the video another time we talked about uncanny valley where it's like even video. Once uncanny valley is done, then all video, you just make it whatever video you want that just looks real.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What's funny is like people will be like, oh yeah. But you know what? They can't, they can't write comedy though, which is true. They're not funny. Like chatgpt is not funny. But we, we're the only people in the world who give a about that. Like nobody. I was like, yeah, but they can do everything else. They can't be fun. Oh clown, go be funny.

[Zach Amico]

We've invented Asians.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's like, why do we put so much like, oh my God, they, they can't be funny.

[Sean Donnelly]

And it's also like they, they, they'll get close enough. Do you ever see the. There's a clip where Norman did some podcast and the kid from The. The clip he's like. We actually put. We asked AI to do a Mark Norman bit for us. We gave it some info and he reads it and he's like, it's not that far off.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Who did that?

[Sean Donnelly]

Some web. Some. Some show that Norman did.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Some show that ripped off Legion of Skanks.

[Sean Donnelly]

Did you guys do that too?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We did that.

[Zach Amico]

It's not Jeremiah, is it?

[Sean Donnelly]

Maybe. I don't know. I just saw it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We did. We did it about a year ago, maybe. We did. Me, Dan Soder, Big J. Who was the other person on it? It was Soda. Big J, me, Dave. Was there another Tim. Butterly. And it was Butterly.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah. Cuz it was the Chappelle episode.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yo, they straight up like, like real. No, it wasn't. It was a. It was another one. We booked them together again afterwards. They. They straight up wrote jokes that sounded like us. It was. It wasn't. It wasn't exactly. They weren't super clever.

[Sean Donnelly]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But it was impressive enough that we were like, yo, that's fucking wild. That is really. Why.

[Andrew Packer]

Did you see the Carlin special? Beyond the. Like, I didn't. The first five minutes is crazy. Especially the opening. You're like, this is exactly how he would address it. It's so well done. He literally. He's coming on. He's like, I'm sorry, I haven't done put on any material, but it's all because of the fact that I've been dead.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Right.

[Andrew Packer]

I don't know if you know about being dead, but it makes it really hard. Like the takes on it, it's gonna.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Get really cool and it's gonna get really fun eventually. Right? Right now we're in the earliest stages and I like it. I really. I. Dude, I use chat GPT almost daily at this point. Almost daily. And it could be just something like, you know, I'll be working out and I'll be like, you know what? I'm sort of doing the same thing. I was like, give me, give. I. I do these exercises. Give me some replacements. So I want to change things up this week and they'll give you a whole breakdown. Suggestions of what to eat. I was. I was bored. This was a moment of boredom. And I wanted to cook something. And I was like, like, these are my ingredients in my house and it's clunky. I have to write in the ingredients. Like, give me a recipe. And then they gave me a full recipe on something that I could make. Something I would have never thought of. But eventually it'll be this. You could literally take your phone, scan your cabinet and go, give me a recipe that will. That.

[Sean Donnelly]

We're.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We're a year or two away from that, right? We don't have that yet, but that's how fast this stuff is moving. It's going to get so much more wild and so much more crazy. There was. I mean, I know they have technology like that because I had an app for Legos which is a pretty cool app. App. It's called Bricket.

[Sean Donnelly]

Oh, I heard about this.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think, dude, you literally point the. At you point the camera at a pile of Legos and then what they do is based off of the pieces that you have, they give you different instructions for things that you can create. Really cool, really fun. What a little. Once again, a little clunky. Wasn't absolutely perfect. The things they have you make are kind of simple, but it's sort of the. The foundation of something that is much bigger and much cool. Cooler.

[Sean Donnelly]

Give it a year, like I said, and it's. It's what runs perfectly.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. All right. This has been fun. It's a great show. Thanks. Thanks, boys. Shout out to everyone in the racists live chat. You guys are the man. Thank you guys for subscribing to Gas Digital.
