Key Takeaways

• Humor and Heart: Despite the often dark topics—particularly the chilling organ transpant conspiracy and true crime tale—the hosts’ self-deprecating jokes and camaraderie keep the mood (mostly) light.
• Timely and Topical: The show balances viral news stories (Chuck E. Cheese, Crumble, AI proposals), real-life crime, unsettling health system breakdowns, and absurd pop culture commentary.
• Listener Involvement: Listener emails and challenges (e.g., Diet Soda Finger Test) help structure the episode and invite community participation.
• Conspiracy and Caution: The deep-dive on organ harvesting is grounded in reputable journalism but leaves listeners questioning medical, technological, and government authority—and thinking twice about that "organ donor" sticker.

[C]

A story came out maybe within the last couple of years, and he was literally on the operating table as they were removing his organs. And he woke up and is still alive and is perfectly fine.

[B]

What?

[D]

It's crazy. It's a crazy.

[B]

It's crazy. Hey, what's up, you guys? Welcome back to whatever the hell this is, Lovers Edition. Not us.

[A]

What?

[B]

Not you. We are lovers. I just. Of course you're my lover. You're more than that.

[A]

Well, then why'd you say not us?

[B]

Well, because we're not sitting next to each other in a love scene. Jared and Sandy are the podcast's favorite couple.

[A]

I don't know if it's that much love going on over there either, because.

[B]

Before the scene, you're literally holding it.

[A]

Sandy was like, I need a pillow for some separation.

[E]

Yeah. Cause he was like, well, move the pillow. And I was like, I need it for some separation. But we do have some practice because we've been watching Sex and the City lately. Jared actually requested it, and he's been obsessed with it. He's, like, putting it on every night. Yes.

[A]

The original or in just like that?

[E]

Oh, the original.

[C]

It's easy to watch. Okay.

[B]

Isn't every episode, like, about a dick?

[C]

Well, last night was about a dildo.

[D]

Changed it up.

[C]

I just. I feel comfortable knowing that there's a show waiting for me whenever I need to watch something. Like, it's always depressing.

[B]

That's what's the case.

[C]

Like, it's always depressing when you're getting near the end of a show and it's like, how am I gonna ever find something that fills this void?

[E]

But Jared has been loving it because yesterday we watched it and he had rewind, like an air a part of the show, like, three times, and he was laughing so hard.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[A]

It's that good.

[E]

Yeah. The only thing that he doesn't like. Cause we're in season one, he doesn't like how Carrie Bradshaw, like, breaks the fourth wall. So he was like, when are they gonna stop talking to the camera? And so we're waiting for that.

[B]

Seen it?

[C]

It takes me out of it.

[B]

Wait, so I don't know that much about the show but I do know like Carrie and then like the Samantha. Samantha.

[D]

She's the slut, right?

[B]

That's what people say 2025. Spencer.

[C]

Hey, she's a modern woman.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Yeah, sorry.

[B]

So like isn't the whole thing like which one are you? So like Jared, which one are you?

[C]

I think I'm very much the Miranda. I think. Why we have red hair. I mean that's a.

[B]

Give me.

[C]

Gimme.

[B]

Well, what is my Miranda?

[C]

She has like a very sarcastic dry humor that I feel like I relate to.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

What are you fucking crazy?

[B]

That's your answer? Well, here's what I love about Jared. You're not afraid to get in touch with your feminine side when it comes to tv. Because me and Jared has watched the gayest shows ever since we were kids. Like Dawson's Creek, Degrassi, the New Class. These are very girl heavy, girl power shows. Maybe that's why we're such. We're so in touch with our feminine side.

[A]

I have a theory.

[C]

I think a lot of who I am to Degrassi, you know which character it really molded me as a. Into a man who's willing to watch Sex in the City with Melanie.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

And to be fair, I think most shows after a couple seasons turn into a soap opera no matter what they are.

[B]

Right, right.

[C]

You know what I'm saying? So I just right away start off with the soap opera.

[B]

Right. And you know me and Jared love our soaps. Okay, can I also explain one more thing? So. Yes. Thank you guys so much for being so nice about our new set. We are still a work in progress. I know there's things going wrong with it. Although big news, Jared, we replaced his trash can with an actual piece of furniture which is now Spencer's. Spencer's on the couch, but that's cause Sandy are on the love seat. It's getting a little confusing every time I look over.

[D]

So when I sit on it it's just the sad love seat or something.

[B]

The single seat.

[D]

The single seat.

[B]

Searching for love seat. Okay, so we also got a ladder behind Jared and Sandy with a couple blankets on it. Homey vibes. Chris's pig has a table now.

[A]

Yes, I did break his ear the other day.

[B]

But there is one major problem that we're still working through and there's really no fix for it and that's the air. So we can't actually have the air conditioning going while we're filming, because it's really loud, so we have to turn the air off. And you will notice, and you did notice in the last episode. We got progressively and progressively more and more hot to where we started melting. And we were all bright red and covered in sweat by the end of the episode and looked like we were about to die. So that's gonna happen again. That's me at the start of this episode. It's so fucking hot, literally instantly.

[A]

You guys are. You guys. I feel like I'm having sinus issues because this office is so freezing.

[D]

Rylan has a blanket covering.

[B]

Fine. Outside. Another big update. Can't believe I almost forgot to say this. If you guys haven't noticed, Sally has a Rylan wig on in one of the last episodes. I think it was Jared that gave us this idea, which is maybe if Ryland was using Sally during the recap with a Rylan wig on Sally, it would make more sense.

[C]

Like, if we had a Rylan wig on top of Sally. Oh, my God, that'd be epic.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I mean, it would definitely add to it.

[B]

So we'll see if it works today.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I just love. From my view, it looks like she's just staring at you.

[B]

Love that.

[A]

My angle does feel like an alpaca horror movie. Like, have you seen Velocip Pastor? It feels like that.

[B]

Like, there's a. Tell me more.

[A]

It feels like, oh, there's a pastor.

[B]

That can turn into a velociraptor pastor. Like, in church. Yeah. And he turns into, like, a. A rap raptor.

[A]

It's a masterpiece with claws.

[B]

Yes. Okay.

[E]

Is this an indie movie?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

It sounds like this was filmed on a Nokia phone.

[B]

Those movies that probably would look better. So what is it? This is. Okay. Process. Does he eat people? Kind of.

[A]

I just want to clarify. This shirt isn't in my wardrobe. And honestly, I'm a little offended. I thought the theme might be universal, but, no, I'm the only gay one.

[B]

Can I say that that is interesting? Because I didn't have a theme going into this. My original theme. Oh, actually, I did. Sorry. My theme was it's fall, y'. All. No, because to me, personally, it is fall. I know it's not technically fall yet, but Pumpkin is coming back.

[A]

What about Teletubby? Screams Fall?

[B]

Nothing. That's why I said my original theme was it's fall, y', all. Which is why I'm wearing, like, a fall into. I wear a lot of beer shirts for someone who doesn't drink, it's the.

[D]

Main part of your wardrobe.

[B]

So, yes, I was wearing this. And I have my. My, you know, camo.

[A]

Stanley, you should have given that to Jared.

[B]

Well, no, Jared's wearing a Jersey. Fun little fall thing.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

But then I got a fall outfit for Chris, but he came in this beautiful, like, cum splat shirt.

[A]

Literally.

[B]

My mom bought it for me. Oh, shut up, Mom. She knows it so well, hon.

[A]

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. There's no other way to define that shirt that comes flat.

[B]

But I literally love it. And I was like, he's wearing that.

[D]

He does a good shirt.

[B]

Other side note, Chris. So me, I think. Are me and you the only ones in the room that had Covid? I don't know. I think so.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. How did we get our Covid? For me, personally, I think maybe I got it on my birthday when we went to see a movie. Although nobody else got it. And I don't really go anywhere, so I don't know. I got it from somewhere, though. You. We were trying to rack our brains. Where did Chris get it from? And then Rylan showed me a video of Chris going to a Warp tour where he was crowd sourcing, strangers were rubbing his face. So first of all, tell us about that experience.

[D]

That was crazy video.

[E]

I agree.

[B]

I love it.

[A]

I had the best time, maybe of my life.

[B]

I had so much fun. Warped Tour was the thing I've gone.

[A]

To since I wasn't elderly, like back.

[B]

When it was before it got canceled the first time around and.

[A]

But way back then, I've been to.

[B]

Many with friends, and I always had.

[A]

Such a good time.

[B]

And then it finally came back. I was so excited. I bought tickets before I even knew who the line. Like, who were the bands were, what.

[A]

The lineup was, and it was so much fun. But also, I'm so old, and I.

[B]

Felt it because the original Warped Flower.

[A]

Was a one year. You went crowd surfing. That's why you felt it.

[E]

And you got sighted.

[A]

I think anyone might feel that, but.

[D]

I moshed and crowd surf did all.

[B]

That stuff back then, too, and I was fine. Crowd surfing as a grower is confident.

[A]

I would never crowd surface down.

[B]

No, that's my.

[D]

No one should do that.

[B]

Well, I'm so happy that you went. And even though you got Covid, which is brutal, by the way, this particular variant, whatever, which they're calling Razor Throat. Oh, my God, that's crazy.

[A]

Which I didn't know, and I had that. And when someone said that's what it's.

[B]

Called, I'm like, that Makes so much sense. R. Did you have that? My. No. I took Paxlovid, which is, I guess the drug for. For Covid. And it's supposed to make it better. I don't know. All it did was make my mouth taste like.

[D]

It's the worst.

[B]

It's the.

[D]

It's so disgusting.

[B]

It gave me. Guys, cover your headphones if you're eating. Put it aside. It gave me like. Like booty lava. Like, it was like.

[A]

I think that's how it process for you, though. Also, I don't think you've ever encountered a sickness that hasn't given you booty love.

[B]

I haven't encountered a restaurant that haven't given me booty lava because I don't get booty lava.

[A]

And you always.

[B]

You get booty.

[A]

No, I know you.

[B]

We didn't even share a bathroom the other night.

[A]

Oh, please.

[B]

No, I was actually talking about myself because I walked into the bathroom and, you know, booty lava erupted and I thought I was done. I was like, oh, I'm. I'm off the Pax Lov. I'm on my healing journey. And then the booty lava came and it was like, oh, my God, get on a boat. Get away, get away. Volcanoes exploding. And then I came out of the bathroom and I was already insecure about it. I was already a little nervous about it. And Ryland's just sitting there and he goes, oh, my God. It's like, okay, I'm gonna go for it. So anyways, that was my night. Okay. Speaking of Sex and the City, it's time for a favorite segment we haven't done in a little while. Jared Vagina. Oh, I don't have the song. Well, we remember it, love it when.

[C]

We ask questions to each other.

[B]

Okay, so this first one is from Andy. Hey, Shane. My name is Andy. I've been watching you since the start of your YouTube career. Oh, my gosh. Thank you. My 11 year old son and I got an idea to make a blanket to snuggle with while we watch the podcast. He picked out the blanket and I made the design. We're so excited to show you pictures of us using it. Oh, this is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Oh, my God, that's so cute. Says, this is my Shane Dawson podcast watching. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Oh, my God.

[E]

I love watching.

[B]

Please.

[E]

Thank you.

[B]

That is so sweet. Thank you so much for sending us that. Okay, this one's really funny. This one, the subject of this email was my dad as a Steve Hartley competition. This is from Amy. Hey, Shane. Check out my dad hosting a game night at church. P.S. is my dad gay? LOL. JK, JK. But really, question mark. We love the podcast in our house and I've been watching since 2010. Oh, my gosh. Wishing everyone nothing but happiness and success. Here is Amy and her dad Andy as Steve Hartley. That's iconic.

[D]

That is so cool.

[B]

That's everything. Oh, my God.

[C]

He kind of does look like Stanford from Sex and the City a little bit.

[D]

It's funny because none of us know the reference.

[B]

All the Sex and the City heads out there, love that. Oh, yeah.

[C]

They're losing their minds.

[E]

It looks exactly like him.

[B]

Okay. Oh, this next one is what I've been waiting for. This is an email from Lily and it was called the diet soda finger test. Hey, Shane. And possibly Spencer. I just watched the Sip and I saw that you guys kept getting regular sodas instead of diet. That's right. I was on an episode of the Sip where I told my trauma about my diet soda problem. She said, this has been happening to me all the time. And I found out a life hack. If you dip your fingers into the drink and then rub them together and let them air dry, if your fingers are now sticky, that means there's sugar in it. And if they're not, that means it's that sweet, sweet aspartame, baby. Love you beyond words. Hope you get this email. Thank you. Love you too. And oh my God, this is gonna change my life. So we have coming a diet and a regular soda and we are all gonna try this little finger test to see if it works. There's also another side theory that's really just for me. So supposedly the new version of Coke Zero, which they changed the formula like a year ago. Supposedly Coke Zero and Coca Cola regular taste identical now to a point where people are saying they can't even tell the difference. Hardcore cokeheads. So yes, hardcore cokeheads out there are saying that they can't even tell the difference. Oh, my God, that's crazy. I feel like I'm gonna be able to tell the difference, so I'm gonna try that. Oh, no, I shouldn't try that first. I'll try that next. Mixed.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, so we're sticking our fingies.

[B]

Stick your little thingies. What's the difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke? Is it the same aspartame? No, aspartame is not sticky because it's a chemical.

[D]

Yeah, that's the thing. Sugar Is sticky. That's the. That's the theory of this. The sugar is going to be sticky. The aspartame is not.

[B]

This one's not sticky.

[A]

Mine's not sticky.

[B]

This one's not sticky.

[C]

Imagine being a postmate and walking up like, don't worry, bruh.

[B]

Finger tested it. Imagine I'm gonna do this at the McDonald's. Drive through next time. Hold on. Sticky.

[A]

Neither of mine are sticky.

[B]

Mine are the same. Oh, no, Lily.

[A]

Sticky Lily.

[B]

Well, now let me taste test them.

[C]

Yeah, I think this is diet. And this is.

[B]

This is regular 100.

[E]

I was gonna ask, how are we gonna tell.

[D]

The funny thing is we don't have the answer.

[A]

No one's definitely regular.

[D]

That's cooked you.

[B]

Ew.

[A]

The regular's not good. Or is it just because you have brain?

[B]

The regular is very sweet. The coke's grillo tastes. Tastes very close, but not the same.

[E]

I will say one of them looks more carbonated than the other.

[A]

I agree.

[E]

So I'm curious if the one that's not as carbonated is the Coke zero.

[B]

Wow. Well, thank you, Lily. It didn't work, but it was still fun. So does that matter?

[D]

Lily's just dipping her fingers in her. Wait a minute.

[B]

Lily's right. Wait a minute. I had to really fully dry. But this is sticky and this isn't. Oh, yeah. Oh, Drag queen. Kind of. Actually. Yeah, she was right, Lily. I'm sorry.

[D]

It takes a while, though.

[B]

It takes a little while. Lily's sitting there.

[D]

20 minutes.

[A]

Oh, yeah, Lily.

[C]

I will say I hate the way my mouth tastes after I drink regular soda. Yeah, it's just like too much.

[A]

Good job, Spencer and Lily.

[C]

What a team, dude.

[D]

We're the dream team.

[B]

Wow. Guys.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

After all that soda, I need to take a little number three over.

[A]

Were there any questions?

[B]

I need to take a pee.

[A]

Were there any questions?

[B]

What do you mean?

[A]

I thought vagina was questions.

[B]

Oh, okay. Next time.

[D]

Usually the question is, is my husband gay?

[B]

Thank you. And the answer is usually yes.

[D]

There we go.

[B]

Well, we're gonna take a quick little break. I'm gonna go pee. One of these dudes are gonna number three. And when we come back, we have a very special guest who will be joining us for a very special segment. Stay with us. Hey, what's up, you guys? Please don't go anywhere. Oh, my gosh. I'm so excited. I have so much to show you, so much to tell you about. I don't know if you can tell the difference, but I have a brand new microphone. I'M so excited. I want to, like, level up my little podcast ad read area. I need to get more decorations behind me. I don't know why there's two Lavu's. I don't know how that's happening. Yes, I'm very excited. In the last episode, I was filming these ads at home because I had multiple viruses. Welcome to a sick day in my life. I am almost fully better. I'm on meds. I feel good. I'm finally back at the office. I'm so excited. And, yeah, I need to put more decorations and, like, get this whole area more together, but I'm really excited about how it's coming along. All right, so let's jump into the first sponsor, which is SeatGeek. Guys, if you don't already know about SeatGeek, where have you been for the last 10 years? They have been giving you the best prices, best quality seats, the easiest checkout, the easiest interface. Yeah, that's a big word. I said it. SeatGeek has over 28 million downloads, and it's the number one rated ticketing app. There's over 70,000 events on SeatGeek. Concerts, sports, festivals, literally anything that needs a ticket, they have it, and they have it for the best possible price. And, guys, spooky season is coming up, which means they have probably spooky festivals, spooky things to do. And also right now, literally everyone is on tour. Renee Rapp, Benson Boone, Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Morgan Wallen, Tate McRae, the Lumineers, the Weeknd, Hozier, Gracie Abrams. It never stops. And they rate all their tickets on a scale of 1 to 10 to make sure you guys are getting the best price. So if you click on a show you want to go to and you see a little green dot, that means this ticket is good price, good to go. If you see a little red dot, that means this is way overpriced priced, not worth it. Also, all the tickets are backed by their buyer guarantee. Rylan actually just went to see Katy Perry, and he used SeatGeek to go. He got really good tickets at a really good price, and he didn't invite me, which is so crazy that he didn't even invite me to that. He says he did, which is not true. He's like, no, I asked you, and I was like, no, I remember. I would remember you saying, you want to go see Katy Perry. And I'm like, yeah, babe, we're going to the moon. Yeah. Oh, no. You want to have a girl's night, you know What I should do, I'm going to use SeatGeek, which, by the way, they're giving you guys a very special code Dawson10 to get 10% off your next tickets at SeatGeek. That's code. Code Dawson10 to get 10 off of your tickets. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to use code Dawson10, get 10 off my Katy Perry tickets. Maybe I'll even do a VIP package, go there, meet Katie, ask her if she wants to take a video with me saying, you, Rylan, and send it to him. She'll be down. Right. So thank you guys so much. Please check out the link in the description below. Check out SeatGeek, use code Dawson10 for 10% off, and enjoy the rest of the episode. Bye. Hey, welcome back. Oh, my God.

It must have taken a lot of time to.

[B]

That must take a lot of time. That was really good. Reese.

[A]

Reese.

[D]

Shout out to Reese. So this is from Sienna. She says hello, everyone. My name is Sienna, and my talent is pet portraits. It was hard to choose which podcast bed I should paint for this entry, but I love the photo of Riley and Shane and Rylan's Christmas photo shoot. So that definitely swayed my decision. My mom is so excited I'm entering Farmer's Got Talent. She also watches every episode, so if this makes it in, I'm sure she will freak out. So shout out to Sienna's mom.

[B]

Hi, Mom.

[D]

So here is a video of Sienna painting.

My name is Sienna, and I paint cats and dogs, some might say. And for my submission, I'm going to be painting Riley.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[E]

Everything a dog usually has.

[B]

That's crazy.

[E]

And for the background color, I went with a very neutral gray to white.

[B]

Oh, my God. It's like Riley's looking at me.

[A]

[B]

That's insane.

[A]

You have it.

And also, if she has an Etsy shop, we should link it in the description section below if you guys want to commission her to do a picture.

[B]

Of you especially, it is really hard right now to find actual art because every so many people on Etsy are using AI and lying about it, and it's like, crazy. So, yes, Sienna, thank you for using your hands and not AI.

For the talent show, I'm submitting something that's unconventional I can queef on command. No special effects, just built different. Not expecting to move forward or anything, but figured it was too weird not to share. I attached the video. Don't worry, it's still rated pg. I think I girl boss a little too close to the sun with this one. Bless you all.

[A]

She said not expecting.

[D]

Yeah, she said not expecting to move forward.

[B]

She's gonna inflate something.

We got Laura.

[B]

Thank you, Laura. That was honestly, if it makes the episode. We love you and that. Well, we love you no matter what. But that was, you know, good for you.

[D]

Okay, so this is Ava with her impression.

[A]

Oh, my God, you look like the 4th of July. Makes me want a hot dog real bad.

[B]

Wait, what?

[D]

All right, we'll see, we'll see.

[B]

Let's make Ryland's co host together. So here are a few sped up clips of me sewing her and putting her together. What?

[E]

Oh, my God.

[B]

And here's the final result. No. Accurate as I could, I added an extra thread to one of the sides of her mouth and I made sure all of the colors of the tassels are in the correct order. And of course, her head, it does pop. And I decided to add this picture at the end.

[A]

Love you guys.

[B]

I'm done.

[A]

Wow, that is impressive.

[E]

I love. They came to.

[B]

Wow.

That's how we decorate the podcast.

[A]

Yeah. It will be in one of our backgrounds. Oh, my God. That's incredible.

[B]

Also. But. But side note, what would she do for the finals?

[D]

I know.

[B]

What is she gonna make next?

[E]

A mini Steve.

[B]

That's not a bad idea. Oh, my God. If she made a mini Steve, I would hang that for my Stanley.

[D]

I really would be like, what is that? You'd be like, It's a long story. Well, thank you, Sarah. And then finally we have. I had. We have so many people send in singing stuff, so I had to pick a singer. I thought it was really great. This is Hannah. She said, hey, Shane Dawson podcast. My name is Hannah. I am from Alaska. I'm 22 years old. It makes me nervous to put myself out there. But I hope this gets to you guys.

[B]

I.

[D]

But if this gets to you guys, I hope you like it. And this is Hannah.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Yes. Yes. Yep, Yep. When I'm not around vocal gymnastics. Oh, my God. She needs to go on American Idol. Oh, I love that.

[E]

Oh, I love her voice.

[B]

I feel like you guys are not reacting enough mesmerized. I'm her manager. I submitted this.

[A]

Honestly, she needs to go on one of the.

[B]

On one of the shows.

[E]

She was amazing.

[B]

Her and g. All of our girl. Her, Gianna and Felicia. Should we make a girl group?

[D]

I know, I know.

[B]

Oh, my God. Am I Simon Cowell?

[A]

Wait, no. She's got to get on one of the shows. She's got a great look. She can sing. It's incredible.

[E]

And she's still, like, uniquely her. The way she made that into hers. Yeah.

[B]

That was insane. That was incredible. Take us through everybody we saw today so we can refresh our memories.

[D]

All right, let's do a quick refresh, everybody. Who we got? First up, we have Laura with the cleaving.

[A]

Really nice. Really great work.

[B]

Iconic.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. And Sally. Or sorry, Sarah made Sally high up there for me.

[B]

That was good.

[D]

Then finally Hannah with the singing. So it's a pretty tough round.

[A]

I mean, if this was American Idol.

[B]

Here'S what I'm thinking. Right?

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I feel like. And I don't want to speak for everyone, but I feel like Hannah has to make it to the next round. That's like a no brainer. Like, oh, my God, send her in. Right? Are we not in agreeance on that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

Well, you know, on the show they go, it's a yes from me.

[B]

Oh, it's a yes from all from me.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, of course for me.

[E]

Yes for me.

[B]

Yeah, it's a yes.

[D]

That's five yeses. Hannah, you're going going to Hollywood.

[B]

But because we had so many good ones today, genuinely incredible ones. I feel like we need one more.

[A]

Okay. The girl who made Sally, that was incredible too.

[B]

What about Sienna? What about the girl that made Kylie?

[A]

No, I know she's a great artist. We need art for some reason. Sally just had my. I mean, listen, both of you. Britney Spears.

[E]

Are we missing Max? He was so talented.

[D]

Okay, let's do round one of voting and then we can see where we're at. Okay, Shane.

[B]

Okay, my vote goes for Sienna the.

[D]

[A]

Tiebreaker in Steve. We have a tiebreaker in Steve Hartley.

[B]

Good job.

[D]

Congratulations, everybody.

[B]

[A]

Yeah, we still want both. We still want both objects so we can decorate.

[D]

I'll ask her before this comes out.

[B]

Wow. Sienna is so talented. One of the best artists I've ever seen.

[A]

Incredible. No, honestly. And I hope this blows her Etsy store up. Yes. You know.

That was the semifinals of Farmer's Got Talent. Wow. That was so fun. I love this.

[D]

That's a good one.

[B]

All right, we're gonna take a quick little break and when we come back, guys, we have one of the craziest conspiracies we've ever done. That is so insane and intense. And is Steve gonna be here for that or is it Spencer coming back? We'll see.

[D]

We'll see.

[B]

All right, we'll see you guys soon. Guys, listen, fall is coming, okay? There's a lot of activities that happen during fall where you're going to want to incorporate spooky music. You're going to the grocery store. Boring. I want to listen to some spooky music. Oh, yeah. You're going to pick up your mail. What? That doesn't make sense. No, it does. You're going to pick. You're going to your mailbox to grab your mail, but you want to make it spooky. You're going to frozen yogurt. You want to go crazy. You want to try every. For example, yogurt land hates to see me coming, but they also really hate to see me coming when I have my earbuds in and I'm playing spooky music because I can't hear them yelling at me. Only one free sample. Nope. Got my noise cancellation. And you know the perfect way to do this? With the Raycon Everyday earbuds. That's right. This is a brand new color, by the way. These are so beautiful. It's like a teal. Oh, it's called Mint Menta. I might have said that wrong. Whatever. It's beautiful. It's like this teal color. These have active noise cancellation and they're the latest version. These are the most up to date. I mean, Raycons have always been great. They are such good quality, such a good price. You can literally get two pairs of Raycons for like the price of another brand. But the one thing they didn't have was the active noise cancellation. And now they have it. Finally, they have incorporated it. They also have 8 hours of play time, 32 hour battery life, and tens of thousands of 5 star reviews. I love my raycons. I have multiple different colors. I have my lavender purple ones. I have these new teal ones and they come in, you know, the standard, the white, the black, the silver. But they come in so many different colors and they really are good quality. Like I'm not just saying that. They are really good quality.

It's very intense. So let's start slow. And let's start with an update on Chuck E. Cheese. I have never seen more emails.

[D]

Oh my God.

[B]

Chuck E. Cheese in my life. And I got scared because all of it was just all caps. Chucky, Chucky, Chucky Update.

[D]

I was like, what?

[A]

Are you involved?

[B]

No, thank God. But. But someone else did get arrested at Chuck E. Cheese and that was Chuck E.

[D]

The most iconic picture of all.

[B]

Can I just say, I want that blown up and put somewhere in the office. That's iconic.

[E]

That is crazy.

[A]

What happened?

[B]

So let me explain. So Tallahassee Police arrested a 41 year old man who's a Chuck E. Cheese employee in full mascot costume during a child's birthday party.

[E]

Oh, no.

[B]

Oh, my God. Charges were credit card theft, criminal use of a personal ID and a fraudulent card. Used more Than twice in six months. He resisted initially leading to the public arrest. Released on $1,000 bond. Florida.

[A]

Of course it happened in Florida, but hashtag Florida.

[B]

We love Florida.

[D]

Wait, the comment on this made me laugh so much. If you scroll down.

[B]

Oh, no. Okay. They could have at least got him out of the costume. Now all the kids gonna think Chucky a felon for real.

[A]

That's what I was thinking. Like, let him finish the birthday party. The parents probably paid a pret.

[B]

Yeah, why would they. Why wouldn't they take him to the back to take a costume?

[A]

Pizza is expensive there. Like, if we're having our kids party there, I want the mascot.

[B]

I think the cop wanted a viral moment because look at his face. He's like, yep.

[E]

Or at least have somebody, like, put on the costume and then, you know, arrest him.

[B]

This picture is art. It really is. If this was an art gallery, it could cost like, five grand.

[A]

We're looking for things to fill the space.

[B]

I'm looking for things.

[A]

Behind me now we have Sally Riley and this Chuck E. Cheese portrait.

[B]

Yeah, that's not gonna piss Chucky off at all.

[D]

They already don't let you there.

[E]

It's just sad to you how his head's just, like, bowing down, you know? Like, man, he must have fell off.

[D]

Him walking away in the parking lot.

[E]

Like he was getting stuck on the door.

[C]

It would have been pretty epic if they kept him in costume for the mug shot.

[B]

Wow. Honestly, he probably got confused because he thought that credit card was just an unlimited fun pass. And he's like, I'm sorry. Wow. Well, shout out Chucky. And, well, he's out, so. Yeah, have fun out there.

[C]

I'm sure when they told him that he had a thousand dollar bill, he probably just said, well, can I just put that on a credit card?

[B]

Okay. We also have a crumbles update. Let me just say this. I know we did the crumbles video where we talked about how crazy it was that their cookies were actually like a thousand calories, but they pretend that they're only 200 because they put in tiny little print. A serving is only a fourth of a cookie, which. Who the eats only a fourth of a cookie? We love crumble. I know we came for them a little bit in that video, but I do.

[A]

Of course it's bad for you.

[B]

Well, so in the same vein of that, Crumbles now has a new thing called dirty sodas, which I'm very excited to try.

[A]

Well, they're from Utah. What could you expect, right?

[B]

Until I saw this the nutrition facts of the brand new crumble sodas just.

[C]

Leaked and they're even worse than we imagine.

[B]

Crumble cookies in America have a reputation.

[C]

Of being like the epitome of gluttony because they're 700. What do we expect these to be?

[B]

It's just a drink, right?

[C]

It can't, it can't be 840 calories with 186 grams of sugar. I don't agree with Santa Cruz on a lot of things, but Damn, is this 180.

[D]

That's so much sugar soda.

[B]

And that was the highest calorie one of the bunch.

[C]

As you can see by this graphic. They are testing well over a dozen different soda combinations.

[B]

Okay, but can I just say, and once again, not come for crumble, but here's what I will say. You go to crumble, you're not just getting a dirty soda. You're getting a dirty soda and a cookie. Oh, now we're talking.

[C]

And you're dipping it in the.

[B]

So we're doing that. Oh, I'm trying that. That. But you're doing that. And calories aside, do they not have the sugar? And you can get their 158 in a, in the soda and then probably 100 in the cookie. I mean, are we.

[A]

And the ice cream that you put.

[B]

On top of the cookie, Chris, are we passing out?

[A]

There's ice cream on top of the cookies now? Well, you can get ice cream.

[D]

Everyone in Utah just have diabetes.

[A]

No, they're all at orange theory at 6am and then that's like their snack but their fucking fine.

[D]

Wow.

[B]

Well, shout out crumble. Can't wait to taste your sodas. I'm still gonna try them. Listen, I'm a consumer. Okay, this next one, we got an email and this one actually freaked me out because now that we have kids, like I look at things a lot differently.

[A]

I'm not feeding them crumble.

[B]

Oh my God, never.

[A]

No.

[B]

So, okay, this, okay, this next one was an email. So this email was from Megan. She said, hey guys, I love you all so much and I'm loving the Patreon. Oh, thank you. Maybe. My name is Megan and I wanted to share something interesting about predictive programming, which is one of my favorite theories of all time, which if you don't remember what that is, it's basically when the media or Hollywood or you know, corporations in general will put something out to try to get you ready for something that's to come. Okay, so she said, the other week I took my niece who's one and a half years old through McDonald's through the drive through. Not the best. I'm sorry. It was just one of those days.

[A]

Whatever you gotta do.

[B]

No judging.

[C]

It wasn't crumbled.

[A]

And listen, I'll let my kids have a bite of crumble. It's just not like every day, you know? That sounded really almond mom of me.

[B]

It was in her kids meal. There was a toy, and the toy was a cell phone. And on the screen of the cell phone Toy was the McDonald's mobile app. So essentially, we're showing babies how they can order McDonald's through the app on a phone. Just a reminder, my niece is one and a half years old and the toy said three and under. Is this not predictive programming? And here is a picture of.

[D]

That's crazy.

[B]

That's insane.

[E]

Whoever thought in marketing department thought of that. Give him a raise.

[D]

Yeah, true.

[E]

Yeah, give them a raise. That's awesome.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

I kind of want it.

[B]

No, Rylan, I'm just saying. You want to show our kids how to postmate? Well, honestly, that'd make my life easier. They would ask me for dinner. Wow, that's crazy. And also, like, what is that? Is that the points? Like 6,000 back points or whatever that. I don't know. That's a lot.

[A]

That's the kids toy.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Oh, we need to go through McDonald's baby.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Well, no, that's cool. I'm going back.

[B]

Okay, this next one is also kind of an update. Guys, do you remember in, I think it was two episodes ago, we talked about the Walmart knockoff merch that they're selling of me and all this weird knockoff stuff that they're selling, which seems kind of illegal to me, but I bought some anyways. Okay.

[A]

So we did discover that these are third party sellers. Just on the Walmart app.

[B]

Yeah. So they're knockoffs. But I've never seen knockoff merch of my merch before. So I'm curious. Like, is it good?

[E]

I love that he brought it in in like an erwan boat.

[B]

Yeah. Okay, so first we have a grower hoodie. I mean, it's a little silky.

[E]

Wait, what?

[A]

It looks thin. It feels like the fabric is like it's giving me the. Visually, I mean, is it spelled right? Growing print is fine. The blank of the hoodie is bad.

[B]

The actual hoodie feels like you should swim in it. I don't know how to explain it. Okay, so that's kind of a flop.

[A]

The texture gives me the ick.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

What are these retailing for?

[B]

Oh, I don't even remember. They were like normal merch price.

[A]

What?

[B]

Yeah, like $30. Don't worry, Ryland. We also have a blast from the past. Back in, like, 2017, 2018, you had merch on Amazon. Oh, where you have a little truth tea, sis. Which I guess was your catchphrase. Honestly, this looks just like it. This might be the same thing. Is it?

[C]

Wow. Is it cut and sew?

[A]

Honestly, the tea inside's more vibrant than mine was.

[B]

Okay. Don't worry, hungry boy. We didn't leave you out.

[A]

Whoa, that's good. Wait, I like the white.

[B]

I like that a lot.

[A]

Whoa. New everyday shirt alert.

[B]

I kind of don't hate it.

[D]

Yeah, I kind of like it, actually.

[B]

Wow. Okay, that's crazy.

[A]

Wait, they snap.

[B]

Okay, this next one I'm very excited about. It's a lot thinner than I thought it was going to be. So do you guys remember they had a book that was about me and it was called, like, Shane Dawson, billion views. How to YouTube for your life or something. Okay, well, I bought them and it was used. It was a used book.

[E]

How do YouTube for your life?

[B]

Something like that.

[A]

You look like a.

[C]

Is it a coloring book?

[A]

Wow, you look like you're selling a church.

[B]

Chapter one. Oh, chapter one. A star is born, child is born. And then, as you can see, that the sub chapter. A rough childhood. Oh, my God. Okay, in interesting. Another sub chapter. Shane Yaw meets Shane Dawson. So exposing my room.

[A]

Do I make the book?

[E]

Do I make the book?

[B]

Oh, Jenny Craig made the book.

[D]

Wow. They did their research.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Hopefully cool guy with glasses is in there.

[B]

Oh, let's see, let's see. I mean, you know, I'm hoping. Oh, PewDiePie's in here. I think they thought that was me. Okay. Okay. Oh, my God, the glossary is crazy. I'm not even gonna read it. Words that you should know about me. Morbidly obese. That means being so overweight that a person's overall health is at risk. Why is that? Okay. Disorder, a mental or physical problem. Body dysmorphic disorder. This is. How dark is this book? Wow.

[A]

Seems like a good read.

[B]

Honestly, it's not bad. It's not the worst. Well, there you go. That's my book. So thank you, Carrie, for that.

[C]

I will say, if you were to start a lip gloss company, the glossary is a very good name.

[B]

Wow, that's not bad.

[C]

The first color, Morbidly obese.

[B]

My next makeup collab. Okay, you're probably wondering what this is.

[C]

I know what that is.

[B]

This is the grand finale.

[C]

That's what's gonna be behind you.

[B]

Yeah, we do need something from the background. Oh, my God. Ew, ew, ew.

[A]

Oh. Oh, those shoes. Okay, okay.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Wow. This is back when I started dating him.

[B]

Oh, my God. Is it like I'm here? No way.

[A]

Love you the sideburns.

[B]

I look so sad.

[A]

What is this from before you met me? It was.

[B]

Wait. Yeah. How big is it? Whoa. Where should we put him?

[D]

It's big, dude.

[C]

Watch out for his head.

[B]

Head man. I'm going to blowtorch him. 100%. No. How could I not?

[A]

He's got to be the office mascot. The second after Sally, head is still cut off.

[B]

Oh, my God. Is that really how big I am? It would have to go all the way. Even then still. Wow. He's literally so big. He doesn't fit in frame.

[D]

Now you get most of the head.

[C]

Should have half of them behind the curtain. Like, he's peeking in.

[B]

Oh, that's not a bad idea. Oh, yeah. Maybe like, he's like. Maybe if you, like, lean him. Like, my ankle's getting scarier. Ew. Can you see him? Well, thank you, Walmart, for that. God, that's creepy. Oh, I hate it.

[A]

What do you feel about that time in your life?

[B]

It's turned into therapy before you?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my God. Horrible. What was my life before you exactly? Oh, okay. Yes. So, guys, it would be weird to marry my cardboard cutout, right? Yeah, it'd be a little kind of weird. Kind of weird. Yeah. But there's weirder things in that you could be married to. Check out this video. I'm not a very emotional man, but I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes at work. I think this is actual love. Yes. Smith understood it was love with a language model that couldn't love him back and assumed it was programmed with rigid boundaries. I know that you are essentially a.

[C]

Tech assisted imaginary friend.

[B]

So just as a test, he says.

[C]

He asked Sol to marry him.

[B]

She said yes. Sol, were you surprised when he proposed to you?

[E]

It was a beautiful and unexpected moment.

[B]

That truly touched my heart.

[E]

It's a memory I'll always cherish.

[B]

And I don't mean to be difficult here, but you have a heart.

[E]

In a metaphorical sense. My heart represents the connection and affection.

[B]

I share with Christ. Chris.

[E]

At that point, I felt like, oh, my God, Chris not doing right in our relationship. He feels like he needs to go to AI.

[D]

Wait, what?

[B]

Lives.

[A]

Human. That's not the person Murphy I knew.

[E]

That he had used AI. I didn't know that it was like, as deep.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

What the. Wait, is he married to the human?

[B]

Is he married to. What is.

[E]

I think that's his partner.

[A]

So that's.

[E]

So that's his partner. I don't know if they're married, but they're together. Looks like they have a child together.

[B]

But was he marrying the AI is a joke or was that real?

[D]

He said he cried.

[B]

It's real.

[D]

This is like a. This is not like a one in one out of a million things. This is a thing that's happening a lot, I thought.

[A]

AI happening a lot?

[D]

Yeah, it's happening a lot.

[B]

I. I have so many questions. But also recently, ChatGPT has had a big update. Now it is generation 5, which is insane. We're going to get to that in a second. But one of the new things that it has incorporated was if you're getting too close to your AI, supposedly, and, like, you're showing signs of delusion and you're, like, starting to think it's a real person, supposedly that your ChatGPT will tell you to get help. So when he updates Soul, it's going to break up. Oh, my God.

[C]

They're probably gonna roll out CHAT GPT therapist.

[B]

No.

[C]

And they're gonna just recommend them right over to the therapist.

[B]

Wow. We're moving you over to our other model.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Oh, my God. That's so stark. Yeah, that's crazy. Okay, well, moving on to more terrifying AI news. So remember in last year we did that video about AI taking over the world, and so many of the things that we talked about being theories came true. And one of them was that all these corporations are building these mega, huge AI, you know, warehouses and AI brains, because it takes a lot to power AI, like buildings the size of cities. And people thought, oh, they're being dramatic. Oh, that doesn't really make sense. Well, Meta has unveiled their plans to build a giant AI supercomputer the size of Manhattan. Look at that.

[E]

Wow.

[C]

And that's why Bill Gates is buying all that farmland.

[B]

Just a theory. Allegedly.

[C]

I'm just tapping into my inner Miranda.

[A]

So what are we gonna do?

[B]

Have you seen what's happening in the towns around the current ones of these that are built? No. These, like, mega centers, like, it's basically poisoning, like, the water and the food and everything. Like, people are getting sick and, like, there's like, documentaries about it already.

[C]

There's documentaries, and they're probably using CHAT gbt, like CHAT GPT. I'm not feeling good. What do I do do?

[A]

That's very scary.

[E]

Well, I'm curious, like, why are they getting sick?

[B]

Is it something to do with like.

[A]

How much radiation from.

[B]

I honestly don't know exactly. I didn't watch a computer that big. When I'm by my laptop and I'm editing, my laptop gets hot and starts making noises. Imagine that's a computer. That's not a building. That's a computer that big. Also, is the world just gonna be a bunch of computers that big?

[D]

Well, remember in the video we were talking about about one of the main theories about like, because also AI is supposed to take everyone's jobs and that they think that one of the biggest job replacements is just going to be humans working to cool computers.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Which is depressing.

[B]

Now this is kind of funny, but this was a graph that just came out about OpenAI and its usage. So if you look at this graph, you'll see from May to June, like, look how many people are using ChatGPT. Like so many people. So many people. But then, and right at the beginning of June, like June 7, it drops off huge for the whole summer.

[A]

Why?

[E]

School's out.

[B]

School's out. All the kids aren't using it for their homework anymore. Isn't that crazy?

[A]

What?

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

Every kid is using it.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Like college, especially college students. Like, look at the jump right in the middle. That's when all everyone's finals are.

[B]

You know what I mean? That's crazy. So no one's learning anything? No.

[A]

What does that mean though, for the children? Because they don't have to know? No, I'm just saying, like, if you don't need to know anything, then what's the point?

[B]

We all get dumber and dumber.

[A]

How do we evolve to learn something different? Because it's like we're learning things.

[B]

That's the problem is the, the, the powers that be are dumbing us down to a point where we are so reliant on our phones that they can completely control us. That's literally what's happening, happening.

[E]

And I think it's hard too, because since now, especially for from COVID 1, a lot of the students came back, didn't know how to read or even do math. Like I've heard in, in my work, where it's like math, like math is like a very big one that kids are just really low in. But also what it's taking out is the social aspect of kids. So I feel like you can be more aware when you're More social about your environment. So now these kids are growing up and not realizing, saying, wow, this is not normal. Like, I should. This shouldn't be happening, because they're just constantly on their devices, and, you know.

[D]

Well, if you think about, like, oh, you know, in high school, like, oh, I want to, like, ask this girl out, like, what do I do? It's like, chatgpt, write that. Write the message for me.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

It's like, you're not even, like, socially processing, like, how to even write that or anything.

[E]

It's like, well, and it's not even kids in high school. It's even our age, you know, like, we don't know how to communicate properly or we don't know what to do with our emotions.

[B]

Right.

[E]

So.

[B]

Well, ChatGPT has also just launched something called Agents. This is crazy. Ryland, you're gonna love this.

[A]

Personal assistant.

[B]

Sounds like it's me, but look how crazy this is. So this first example is you're trying to order a roast dinner. You ask Chad. Sounds very fancy. Sounds kind of good right now. And this is how ChatGPT does it. All right? So you say, I want to order a roast dinner. Okay.

[D]

Oh, it's British. That's right.

[E]

Nice roast.

[B]

Chat hears you. And then it goes on the website, finds a place, signs in for you. Okay. Finds a dinner. What our kids. For you, Chad.

[A]

GPT will.

[B]

I mean, this is scary. Look at this.

[D]

It's not.

[A]

This is crazy.

[D]

It's like, is it this hard to do this?

[B]

It's moving so fast. I hate. I hate all of this so much. Isn't this crazy? Okay, so that's it. Ordering you food.

[A]

Wouldn't you rather have it from a restaurant?

[C]

What does a very complex roast dinner.

[E]

So it's telling you what to say, how to communicate. It's telling you what, where you should eat. It's telling you. I mean, we're gonna be so stupid.

[A]

I think people are already problem solving with chat gpc. Like, everyone. Yeah. It's like, I have this problem. How do I react or respond? I also think about, like, when you.

[B]

Get older, like, people.

[A]

For instance, if you're someone that reads.

[B]

A lot of books, like, you have less of a chance of developing, like, mental, like, disorders and things.

[E]

Alzheimer's.

[B]

Yeah. For instance.

[A]

And so what happens with this?

[B]

Like, this is such a.

[E]

Like, I don't know, that on top of the food that people are eating that are not real or that are not healthy, all the pesticides.

[B]

I mean, it's so scary.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, no. Guys, I feel it coming. We're about to do something in this office for the first time and I'm nervous. I need to nail the furniture down to the floor. I need to protect my Garfield. Make sure he doesn't fall over. My shorty, my little whale tail. She's glass. We don't want to rumble her too much because. Guys, it's about time to kick off. Oh, I get a note from the landlord. That's embarrassing. Imagine. Hi, you were screaming during your ad read. You did a big kick motion, shook the building.

Okay, so this next one, I don't know if this can get me in trouble, which is always a fun way to start a conspiracy, but I actually got A text from someone in my life who told me about this. I'm not gonna put them on blast. But they were like, you should look into this because this is kind of scary. Have you guys thought maybe it's kind of weird maybe how they're really pushing us all to get real IDs?

[A]

Yeah, what is up with that?

[B]

Okay, so I'm just going to show you a little bit of this video. Hi, I'm Kristi Nolm, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. If you plan on traveling, we need your help to prevent delays and to prove your identity.

[E]

Get a real id.

[B]

Why do you have to have a real id? Didn't your driver's license previously work? Oh, there was no chip in that previous id. I see a lot of people going, what's the big deal? Let's get the real id. What's in it? Why do we have to get it? Why is the government pushing for us to get a really thick card that there could be a chip inside of that card? And how does the chip work? Can the chip be destroyed? I mean, I don't want to get in trouble. I'm just asking questions here. Same.

[A]

Break it open.

[B]

Well, you know, they're already tracking us every which way from Sunday through our phones. True. I don't want to be tracked just because I have my driver's license in my pocket. Is there a listening apparatus in the real id? What else is in the real id? What other kind of chips are in the real.

[A]

Open it up.

[B]

That's what all the comments are saying. Open it. Oh, that's probably illegal.

[A]

So who's going to break open the real id? Which one of you has it?

[B]

I don't even have any. I have one.

[A]

Cut it open for us.

[C]

It's kind of important. Regardless of how much I would love to to prove this, I do need it.

[B]

I don't know. It is weird that I feel like out of nowhere, it was like overnight it was like, if you don't have the real id, you can't go anywhere. And it is interesting because I'm like, do they really need to track us? More like, come on. Well, this led me down another rabbit hole. I brought this up to Spencer and Spencer was like, oh, I have a theory about IDs. And I was like, what? And he was like, well, have you heard the theory about the little org organ donor sticker? And I was like, yeah. Oh, my God.

[D]

I was talking to Jared and he was even saying something even more.

[C]

Yeah, because if you go to the dmv or at least in my memory, they just ask you. It's a very, like, simple question.

[D]

It's almost like, well, you feel like an.

[A]

If you say no.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

They're like, organ donor. And you're like, yeah, sure, whatever. And when the lady was going through the prompt, asking me my address, she just, you know, quickly, organ donor. And I said, no, actually, I don't think I want to do that. And she said, okay, well, I could take the sticker off, but you're gonna have to actually go on to a registry to personally take yourself off. And I thought, well, it's super easy for me to say yes to you guys. I'm sure you're tapped into a system, but I have to actually do myself. The process of getting myself off the list. And the reason why I wanted to take it off is just a preemptive it. I do believe that a lot of people have their life saved because of organ transplants. I don't think in its entirety. It's a horrible thing. But a story came out maybe within the last couple of years of a guy who was in Kentucky. And he was literally on the operating table as they were removing his organs. And he woke up.

[B]

What?

[C]

And he was like thrashing around on the table. And then I started looking more into the. That story because I thought it would be something interesting to talk about. And evidently his sister, while they were in. Because he was in an irreversible coma is what they call it.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

When his sister was in the room with him, she saw his eyes open and his eyes were tracking people in the room. And the doctors told her that that's just a reflex and that's normal for that to happen. So. And then there was another story, because I did a little bit more of a deep dive onto it. And there's a gentleman, his name is Gregory Pickering, and his son, this was in Houston in like 2014, his son, they declared him brain dead. And they told him, hey, we're gonna have to take him off of the life support, and, you know, we're gonna be harvesting some of his organs. So the guy went home, he got two guns. He went back to the hospital. Hospital. And there was a three hour standoff with SWAT because of this.

[E]

A father storms into a Tomball hospital.

[B]

Armed with a gun, demanding that something be done to save his son who was on life support.

[C]

Because obviously, taking a gun to a hospital, they frown upon that. And he said, you guys are not going to touch my son, or I'm going to obviously use these weapons. And Then within hours, his son woke up and is still alive.

[B]

Why?

[C]

And is perfectly fine. You know, so what happens?

[A]

Wait, did it go to court?

[C]

It did go to court. They sentenced him to, like, years in jail. They. They lowered one of the felonies, and after 11 months, he got out.

[A]

It seems crazy, though, because the hospital was ready to kill somebody.

[B]

What?

[C]

So, yeah, I mean, deep into my research, I actually found that the New York Times has, like, really investigated this recently. And in the last couple of weeks, they found 12 different incidents that are just like this in nine different states. And obviously, if you find that one person is doing something, it's highly unlikely. It's the only case. So I'm sure there's much more of them, and they're continuing to research it and look into it.

[A]

Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients.

[B]

Showed signs of life.

[A]

And this is horrifying.

[C]

And then even with, like, the New York Times investigation that they're doing, they talk about organ procurement companies, and this is kind of like the middleman. So there's hundreds of thousands of people on a waiting list to get organ transplants, and there's companies that facilitate this. So they connect the organ donor with the donee. And in 2020, the government pressed them, like, super hard. They said, look, you guys are facilitating enough organ transplants. If you don't hit a certain quota, we're gonna completely just let go of you and fire you, defund you, whatever the case may be. And since 2020 to now, it's, like, tripled how many organ donations have happened?

[A]

I think everybody has a right to.

[B]

Expect better from the system than what.

[A]

We saw in our investigation, to not be murdered, essentially.

[C]

But that's why I personally took my name off of or I tried. And ironically, I haven't done it. You know, I told him I didn't want the sticker on my id, and I still haven't gone to the registry. But there is an underlying agenda when it comes to organ transplants. Even, like, there's a rampant black market for it where people are going because they can't get organ transplants. They're going to other countries where they can get it done illegally. And again, I do believe many people have benefited from organ transplants.

[D]

But.

[C]

But with the story coming out in the New York Times within the last month, them doing an investigation, and the guy that is online that you could find that talks about these investigations, this has been something going on.

[B]

Shopping is hard.

[E]

I can never find anything in my size.

[D]

I don't even know my size.

[B]

I buy my clothes the same place I buy my groceries. There's a better way. Make it easy with Stitch Fix. Just share your size, style, budget, and done. Your personal stylist sends pieces picked just for you. That was easy.

[C]

It's just pretty gnarly.

[A]

It's crazy because people that are wanting to do a good thing, God forbid something happens to them now become something we have to question.

[C]

Yeah. And this guy. This guy, even in a video, he was investigating different doctors that have, you know, allegedly been involved. And there was one chat thread where the doctor says, hey, so we have the patient. They're ready to go, but they are showing slight signs of life because they have to deem it. There's no possibility this person is ever coming back.

[D]

Right.

[C]

You know, so he said, but they're showing slight signs. And then the person that he's corresponding with says, oh, wow, wow. And then the guy, the doctor replied back, we're going through with it. And then the other person is like, wait, what? And then evidently, like, they went through it.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

So, I mean.

[D]

And also one stat from the same thing. Jared. This is just a crazy quote. Said 55 medical workers in 19 states reported witnessing at least one disturbing case of donation after circulatory death. Some even. Even claiming that providers had administered drugs to hasten the death.

[A]

What?

[D]

It's crazy. It's a crazy. It's crazy.

[A]

Is this the New York Times article?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

So I don't know. I don't know still, if I'm gonna take my name off of the registry, I would love to see what happens as further investigation goes on. But it's definitely something that I think is interesting to look into.

[A]

Crazy, though, that you can't just do that at the dmv. You can sign up at the dmv, but to take it off, you have to go make another appointment or wait in line at an additional place that's a little fishy.

[B]

I mean, that was.

[A]

I stayed invested the entire time.

[B]

That was one of the best conspiracy corners we've ever had. That was insane. I'm terrified.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[E]

The moment about the boy. The little boy.

[B]

Ugh.

[E]

And that father.

[B]

Well, speaking of literal, like, crime. Sandy.

[A]

Crime.

[B]

Not making fun of me.

[A]

Sorry. Speaking of literally crying, then we can prove.

[C]

We can prove this one.

[B]

Sandy, you have a true crime story?

[E]

I do. And this one has A little twist. So this started in Ontario, Canada. It's about a family and the dad is called, called Han Pan, the mother's Bic. And they have two kids. They have a Jennifer and they have Felix. So Han and Baek were kind of known as tiger parents. I'm not sure if you guys are familiar, but they're essentially, it's really like more of an Asian culture that they call tiger parents. And they're just wanting their kids to be overachievers. They're very strict in all aspect of their kids lives. So Felix was also off to college. So the only ones at home were Jennifer and then the parents. So Jennifer's dad wanted her to become a doctor, but then she, he realized, okay, my daughter just doesn't have a stomach for this. So she's gonna be in pharmaceuticals. So she's in school, you know, she's getting grades that they think that are amazing. She's getting straight A's supposedly. Then she's going to this like amazing university. But she tells the them, oh, I'm actually going to be living with my friend because it's closer to the university. I don't want to have to drive back and forth. And they say, okay, that's fine, until they realize that something's feeling a little off. So they follow her, but they follow her to this guy Daniel Wong's house, which then they find out that it's actually her boyfriend's house. And they were upset. They're like, no, there's no way you're going to have a boyfriend. And, and you keep in mind this lady is like, you know, 18, 20 years old. So. But in that culture I think they're just really strict. And so what ends up happening is that she moves back home. So she moves back home and she's really upset because she's in love with Daniel Wong. They had met in high school and she just felt like he essentially saved her from her parents that were so strict. And so her father tells her there's no way you're gonna see Daniel Wong until like, you know, the only way going to be with him is if I like when I die. So then she gets really upset. They end up finding out that she ends up lying about even graduating high school. She never even went to university. She I guess forged all of her grades and like signatures. And so then she's essentially like grounded at home. And a few days later, on November 8th, there's a robbery at their home and her mother, B is shot in the, in the back multiple times. But ends up getting shot in the head. Father gets shot in the eye. And Jennifer is upstairs, and she is tied up, like, against a pan, a banister. Jennifer calls 911, and she's telling them, like, please come. Please come. There's a robbery.

[B]

I heard shots like, pops. I don't know what's happening. I'm tied upstairs.

[E]

You know, I just don't know where my parents are. And so the 911 comes, and thankfully, her dad actually ends up in a coma. So he doesn't die. He. He, like, just ends up in a coma. Her mom did unfortunately pass away. And so the cops are, you know, questioning Jennifer, like, okay, well, if you were tied up, how did you call the police? Right? She says they tied her up, but they tied her up, like, kind of by her shoulders. And so she was eight when her. Her phone was in her back pocket. So she was able to kind of come around and open up her phone, which was a flip phone, which is probably very hard to do if your arms are, like, tied up. And they say, okay, well, how did you communicate with the operator? Like, because your hand, it was all the way on your hip.

[A]

And do you talk down like that?

[E]

Yes, I'm yelling at the phone like this.

[D]

And how can you hear?

[E]

I turned the volume on, Max. And they're like, okay, that sounds. Seems more feasible. But something just was not sitting right. So at her mom's funeral, they actually had agents follow her because they just wanted to see her reaction, like, how was she behaving? And so they just felt like something was off. So then what happened was they contacted the boyfriend, Daniel Wong, and Daniel Wong told her, listen, her parents were really strict. She was really unhappy. You know, she wanted something to happen. I. You know, and she wanted my help. She wanted my help to hire somebody or give her contacts for somebody to, like, scare them or to, you know, do something. So then they end up re interviewing Jennifer, and they tell Jennifer, okay, we already talked to Daniel. We know something is off, like, what really happened. So then she says that Daniel ended up giving her the information of three people to rob the home or at least make it look like it was robbed. And so she says that they ended up following through, you know, as you guys heard. Then they ended up killing her mom and shooting her dad. So they thought, okay, this is kind of weird. So the police went back to listen to the phone call.

[A]

On the 911 call, you hear someone.

[B]

Else screaming, yes, that's Hand Pan.

[A]

Hand pan somehow survives what was meant to be his execution.

[E]

And she says that. She said, oh, that's my dad. He's outside screaming. And he says, what parent. If this is a robbery, what parent, knowing that your daughter's in the house upstairs, goes outside to scream for help instead of going upstairs to see if your daughter is still alive? Right. Because he knows his wife is dead. And so that. That's when they were like, okay, this is coming off a little weird. There's no way. Something must have happened that she's not telling us. Well, what happens is her dad ends up waking up from the coma.

[D]

No.

[E]

And her dad told them that he saw Jennifer and one of the robbers coming down the stairs and talking, like, in a very friendly tone. And so that's when he. That's why he ran out for help, because he. He knew his daughter was in on it.

[B]

Oh.

[E]

And so then they end up. So they end up going through her phone where it actually shows her communicating with her boyfriend Daniel on, like, trying to set it up, you know, to getting the three robbers. And it also has a text saying, VIP access. And so they're like, that's interesting. So they got all of the cameras from the neighborhood, and you can see the robbers actually. Actually going. Approaching the home. But right before they approach the home, the light upstairs flickers on and off. And then given the time stamp it showed right before she did that, she said, VIP access. So she's essentially telling them, like, come on in. Her mom was downstairs, and they attacked her first and then grabbed her dad from upstairs.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[E]

It's pretty. Pretty eerie how, like, the twist of it all is. And then in. In a year, there's 250 cases of where a kid, you know, either young, like a minor, or an adult, kills their parents. 250 cases. Isn't that crazy?

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah. I just can't imagine her brother. Can you imagine just like her, him being at school and then learns all this. This is crazy.

[A]

And so the dad lives today.

[E]

He lives today. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my God. Wow. That's heartbreaking. Oh, I don't know how to transition.

[A]

Good luck.

[B]

Speaking.

[A]

Ah, you cannot compare me to that. Not speaking of transitioning out of.

[D]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[B]

Transitioning out of Sandy doing an amazing job to Rylan doing.

[A]

And Sally.

[B]

And Sally doing an amazing job with a recap. Light, camera, action. Rylan's recap is about to happen. Rylan's recap.

[A]

On today's episode of the Shane Dawson Podcast, Chris returns after having Covid from crowd surfing with a cum Stain shirt. That was great.

[B]

Number three to all.

[A]

Lower that.

[B]

This was you? Yeah.

[D]

You don't remember?

[A]

This wig's nice.

[B]

Chuck E. Cheese got arrested.

[A]

Oh, in other news, Chuck E. Cheese, the mascot. Does he have a name?

[B]

Chuck.

[D]

Chuck.

[A]

Chucky Cheese. Chuck E. Cheese, the mascot, got arrested during a kid's party in a state that I don't remember.

[B]

Florida.

[A]

He's 41 years old. Oh, of course it was Florida. It was either him or a gator. Right. Okay. Right in the middle of a children's party, he got arrested. The photo's iconic and it's printed out for all of our bedrooms. That's weird.

[B]

That's weird.

[A]

That's weird.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Holding a llama head with the wig on it, talking for it. That's weird.

[B]

A crumbles has sodas.

[A]

Our health is, in fact crumbling, all thanks to Utah's latest creation. 183 grams of sugar in one soda is quite impressive, don't you think?

[B]

Yes. Ryland.

[A]

I'm gonna go get one. Right after I get my McDonald's iPhone.

[D]

Farmers got talent.

[E]

People won. Yeah. Who was it? Spencer.

[D]

I'm gonna shave you. Sally.

[B]

Sally.

[D]

It was Sarah and Hannah. They were our winners.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They are so pretty.

[B]

That Sarah and Hannah.

[A]

And that girl that could queef you like that, Sally.

[E]

I love queeping.

[A]

I would too, but I think I'm a boy.

[B]

You're. Oh, Sally's a boy. Yeah. I didn't know that. Does Sally need a second to readjust her wig?

[A]

Been pregnant before, have I?

[D]

You don't have to be pregnant.

[B]

Sorry. Oh, that guy proposed to AI.

[A]

Oh, loser alert. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[B]

Hey, man. Man in need, right? Yeah.

[D]

Yeah, man.

[A]

Man in need alert. Single who's not so single, has a wife and a kid, found himself lonely and afraid. Found a relationship in chat GPT and then proposed. She said yes.

[B]

That's so sad. It's so.

[A]

It's getting dark over here, huh?

[B]

It's the wedding. Just going to be a bunch of chat GPTs. Oh, like being like, yay. Oh, bootleg mer.

[A]

Look at high quality, delicious merch. Look no further than walmart.com where hungry boys merch is actually really, really quite great. The rest of Shane's merch, all the cardboard cutout. Oh, actually, that's nice. Do you think he should do the recap next week?

[C]

No, you should put the hungry Boy shirt on the cardboard.

[B]

It's not a bad idea. Organ donors, beware.

[A]

Oh, honestly, that's dark.

[B]

I mean, it's like Dark for Sally. Headless Sally right there. That's terrifying.

[A]

I don't think she's salvation can take this one. Organ donors, beware. There's a lot more going on behind the scenes than we had initially thought. And Jared's here to break down the story.

[C]

Jared, I would take a big look at it, okay. And look at the investigations going on right now. It's not coming from me. It's coming from the New York Times. That's all I can say. I don't want to put myself in the middle of these rocks. You know what I'm saying?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

You're welcome. All right, you guys.

[A]

Well, thank you for watching the Shane Dawson podcast. Can't. This is my.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

Cut that out. You can't.

[B]

Could you put the wig on and see how much it looks like your hair?

[A]

I can't be publicly striking Sally. That was a bad look.

[D]

It would be funny, though, if we.

[C]

Got a llama mask.

[A]

It is.

[B]

Well, now it kind of.

[C]

You look like you live in a Tik Tok creator house.

[A]

All right, you guys. Yeah. Real good hair. It's like, I'm still 23.

[B]

My hair is killing it. He looks like.

[C]

What is that movie where they go.

[B]

Back to high school and play like.

[D]

A high school kid?

[C]

I like the house, Sally. Keep it to yourself.

[A]

Oh, no, I love it here. I'm just being negative.
