Sup, you beautiful bastards, hope you're having a fantastic Tuesday
welcome back to the Philip Defranco show and let's just jump into it. And the first thing
I want to talk about today is our douchebag of the day earlier this month
You may have heard about a Colorado man
That was stabbed for looking like a neo-nazi august 16th, Joshua witt decides that he wants a shake
So he drives to his local steak and shake when he gets out of the car
He was reportedly approached by a man who asked "Are you one of them Neo-Nazis?"
But before he could even answer the attacker raises a knife above his head
Witt tries to block the attack he gets stabbed in the hand
at which point for better and worse
the assailant runs down a nearby bike path and disappears
so luckily Josh survives
He takes photos of his injuries, the crime scene and he posts on Facebook
So apparently I look like a Neo-Nazi and got stabbed for it.
Luckily I put my hands up to stop it so he only stabbed my hand
Please keep in mind. There was no conversation between me and this dude
I was literally just getting out of my car
Witt later described his attacker as a black man in his mid 20s 5 foot 10
wearing a green shirt and blue pants
and as you can guess the story quickly got picked up
And it spread like wildfire the reason we're talking about this story today is the attacker has been caught but it turns out the attacker
Is Joshua witt it turns out that Joshua witt made it all up now police said that they were
Suspicious from the start one thing the parking lot that this was supposed to have taken place in was a very busy one and no
One reported this secondly the photos that he posted on Facebook showed a lot of blood for
what was a relatively minor injury thirdly police said that he did not have a
Neo-Nazi Style haircut at the time and his Facebook profile photo
he had this little side fade but authorities said that at the time of the incident it was closer to this cut from his mugshot and
Lastly when the police tried to find the footage of someone running off towards the bike path they couldn't find it
But they did find footage of Witt buying a small knife at a nearby sports store when questioned about this Witt admitted to the line
The Sheridan County Police Chief Mark Campbell said he was opening up the knife package in the car
And he cut himself I don't believe he showed any remorse
Our take is he kind of made this up and it got out of control when it went on Facebook
Witt has since been arrested for filing a false report
And if he is convicted he faces up to a year in jail and a fine of two thousand six hundred fifty dollars
So that's the story now let me speak on it
I have two reactions to this the first being what a huge douche bag piece of shit
You faked a hate crime for what?
Facebook likes? you made Joey Salads' race-baiting ass look tame the garbage person doing garbage thing my second reaction of this is why did?
You admit it understand
This is coming from a person that thinks that you are a garbage person you came up with the idea of faking a hate crime
You then
Actually, did it then when the police seemingly only had evidence that you had also purchased a knife like that's literally yet
You fully admit the crime. I mean where does your hate-filled follow-through?
Why are you planning and going through with something so despicable?
And then the first time someone's like but did it really happen you completely crumble, but anyway
I hope you get the maximum punishment here the question
I want to pass off to you with this story is what do you think about that punishment?
I feel like more and more possibly in connection with the rise of social Media
We see a lot of people faking crimes making false accusations either to infuriate or just draw attention to themselves
And what do you think the punishment should be you think a year makes sense it should be lesser
Do you think it should be more know what you think on this from there? I want to share some stuff
I loved today and today in awesome
The first bit of awesome is HbO is release day
Just under 13 minute video of the behind the scenes of the finale something
I thought I'd share since we're all going to have to wait for way too long for this show to come back
But hey at least Westworld season to hold us over when that's released in spring of 2018
Why you doing this to me hbo and I got the slow mo guys showing off midair paintball collisions?
Then we got a short film for Blade Runner 2049
And I don't mean it's like fan-made collider put out a prequel short film to show what happened in
2036 so if you need a little something to quench your thirst
Highly recommend it if you want to see the full versions everything
I just share the secret link of the day anything at all
Links is always there in the description down below and in quickie YouTube news YouTube announced some changes today some you may have already recognized
First thing up YouTube logo change went from this to this oh my God
It's so bold and daring or is this youtube's way of saying the plays matter more than Youtube no probably not although
I mean, they aren't company that is the case also now on Mobile. Just like the desktop version
You'll be able to change playback speed and the most important update actually has to do with a vertical video vertical video which has always
Looked horrible on YouTube with those black bars on the side will now adapt to your screen
Keep in mind this for the Youtube app on your mobile devices. It doesn't appear that this changes the desktop experience
Oh do be warned if you are someone that is wanting to embrace vertical video on the new YouTube app you can do that
But still know that
Statistically speaking around 30 to 50 percent of people will still get those black bars if they're watching the desktop version then we have fantastic
News for anyone that currently shops for food at Whole foods or - now that Amazon has successfully purchased
Whole foods they have changed two things the first and the biggest thing is that they have changed the prices reports saying that they cut?
prices by as much as
43 percent one of the examples provided and Manhattan Fuji apples would sell for 349 a pound now
Just a dollar ninety-nine a pound and also you were paying
349 for a pound of apples whatever also people from California rejoice avocados went down around 80 cents
Oh, and the second change to whole foods is that you can now buy an Amazon echo or dot in the store
Okay, sometimes when you go to Whole foods for organic kale. You're like
Why don't I also buy one or two echoes also for those of you wondering?
Why you can't go to Amazon and buy an echo right now most likely it's because they put all their stock in these stores
So there was that now let's talk about this recent, Hollywood
Controversy that has a lot of people cheering and booing last week it was announced that British actor Ed Skrein who's best known for his
Roles in Deadpool and game of thrones was recently cast to be in the hellboy reboot specifically
He was set to play the role of Major Ben Daimyo who in the comic books is Asian as you'd expect some people are unhappy
With this casting decision calling it another example of Hollywood Whitewashing a character. This isn't a new topic or
Controversy for Hollywood for example this year Scarlett Johansson played the lead and ghost in the shell' that character originally was Asian in the original
The character is called Major Motoko Kusanagi in the film Charlotte Johanssen is simply called major
We can't even look to this week
Netflix released a Japanese Manga
adaptation of death note that drew Criticism for transferring a Japanese story to
Seattle and also because the film stars - white leads and parts that originally written as japanese characters although my personal favorite was the emma
stone backlash because in the movie aloha
She played a character that was Chinese in Hawaiian goes of the doctor strange backlash
but you get the point it's it's not new but this time something new did happen in response to the Criticism Ed announced that he
Is stepping down from the role?
He shared this statement on his Twitter saying last week
It was announced that I would be playing Major Ben Daimyo in the upcoming Hellboy reboot I accepted the role unaware that the character in
The original Comics was of mixed Asian heritage there has been intense conversation and understandable upset since that announcement
And I must do what I feel is right
It is clear that representing this character in a culturally accurate way holds significance for people
And that's a neglect this responsibility would continually worrying tendency to obscure ethnic minority stories and voices in the arts
I feel it is important to honor and respect that therefore
I have decided to step down so the role can be cast appropriate representation of ethnic Diversity is important
Especially to me as I have a mixed heritage family is our responsibility
to make moral decisions in difficult times and a give voice to
Inclusivity it is my hope that one day these
Discussions will become less necessary and that we can help make equal representation in the arts a reality
I'm sad to leave hellboy, but if this decision brings us closer to that day it is worth it
I hope it makes a difference with love and hope ed skrein knows a lot of support Hellboy Producers Larry
Gordon and Lloyd Levin supported his decision
Saying in a statement and came to us and felt very strongly about this we fully support his unselfish decision
It was not our intent to be insensitive to issues of authenticity and ethnicity and we will look to recast the part with an actor
More consistent with a character in the source material also the creator of the Hellboy comic book Mike Mignola
Wrote thank you, edie. Very nicely done now when of agents of shield wrote love this guy, edie. You are a rockstar
Let's hope the recast is as morally and ethnically correct and David harbour of stranger things who's also starring in the reboot wrote hey internet
Thank you for your voices, and injustice was done and will be corrected many. Thanks to Ed for doing
What is right but of course as you'd expect there are people that were criticizing this movie?
So I'm saying that it's the white actors being treated unfairly here, not just in generalities
But even pointing to this hellboy read one writing. Let's not forget alice monoghan who was a pale redheaded
Irish woman from 50s Arlen and the Hellboy comics as a black woman in the new movie
I guess we'll be seeing her drop out of the movie too now right and I want to use that comment as a question I
Pass off to you. Is there a difference
Is there a difference between Edie coming in to play a character that was Asian in the original and Sasha lane coming in to play?
Someone that was Irish in the original some are going to argue that those situations are the same and it's ridiculous that only one actor
is being persecuted for that only one actor is being pressured to step down whereas those who see those situation as
Different are most likely going the angle of inclusion the roles and TV shows and movies for the most part have been
Majority white and many people would argue that this is about inclusion
It's it's easier to to swap roles here or the other could be seen as a majority taking away from another have to say personally
On this topic I kind of just don't care. I don't mean about the story in general
I just mean I don't care who plays certain roles based off of Gender or race let me expire a man black
Cool
You want to make thor a woman fine previously white character is now played by someone that's black someone that was previously
Asians played by someone that's a white
I say that also understanding that's coming from my life experience and who I am right it was never a big deal that
Someone that had the same color as my skin was in the entertainment. I was consumed also
I don't think all changes and adaptations are
Right the answer to the question of why are we making this change is important to everyone
What are your thoughts here, but also specifically to people without my same background
What are you thoughts here also while we're talking about this I kind of want to attach another
Story to it here
We were talking about the world of entertainment, but then let's also talk about fashion and the reason for that is once again
Kendall and Kylie Jenner are in the news because they are being accused of stealing this time not being accused of stealing
specific images or specific designs
but being culture vultures it's because under Kendall and Kylie store they released an oversize plaid shirt for the low low price of
$145 they all supposed to this picture to their instagram many people call this style
culture theft accusing the Jenners of stealing Chola Chola culture that as the white as that phrase has ever been said just a few of
the responses laughed my ass off first black culture now Chola culture
I'm happy more people who are learning to accept and appreciate the beautiful culture people gotta stop stealing shit if you're going to appropriate culture
They could at least be like hey guys our new clothing line is inspired by latin
Ex culture and since all the backlash a kendall Kylie instagram removed that post
But they also left the page to buy the shirt up so sorry but not sorry and so the question I want to pass off
To you here. I mean obviously the situation is different. We're not talking about people
We're talking about styles and cultures more of the mindset of in entertainment, and maybe the same is said about style
You're always borrowing
you're always taking from something else and trying to make it your own and also sure there is a difference between having a style for
Yourself and taking it for yourself and monetizing it for the masses at the same time. We're talking about a
$145 plaid shirt
I know let me know what you think and then let's talk about North Korea in the news as I was uploading yesterday's video north
Korea decide to launch a missile
Over Japan South Korean military intelligence saying the missile was launched from a site very close to pyongyang the missile flew towards and over Japan
Eventually breaking up into three pieces about 1,100 kilometers past Japan in the Pacific Ocean no big thing to note
Is this is not the first time North Korea has done this they pulled this done in 1998
2009 2012 and 2016 but this is still a huge development because all those other missiles were for satellites in different stages of development
This missile was a military one and while this move was in a complete shock as North Koreans
Have stated as part of their plan to strike one
they would test missiles over Japan still probably not pleasant for the people in Japan to wake up at
6:02 to a message that reads missile launched missile launched a missile has been launched from North Korea
Lee's evacuate to a sturdy building or underground that also met with these alarms
Nope, I'm done imagine how horrifying that is not knowing
What was going to happen for 15 minutes until you get the update message missile passed it seems the missile has passed over the area
if you find any suspicious object
Please do not go near it and form the police or the fire department since the prime minister of Japan responded by telling reporters
We must put strong pressure on North Korea to make it change its policy Japan will work with the United States and South Korea
and will also urge China Russia and the rest of the world to increase pressure on the north as well adding this launch of a
North Korean missile is an unprecedented serious and grave threat to Japan adding that trump. Told him the u.s.
stands with Japan
100% and I would like to make the utmost effort to protect the lives and assets of the Japanese people under strong alliance between
Japan and u.s
South Korea also responded by releasing this footage of a recent missile test that shows that can accurately hit targets hundreds of kilometers away also
South Korea went ahead and tested eight bunker busters near the border yesterday as a show of Force
Maybe as a way of saying to the north hey Kim Jong-un if you actually do this we will get you South Korean major Lee
Kook note told reporters our air Force will wipe out the leadership of the North Korean regime with the strong strike
Capability if it threatens the security of our people in the south Korea-us
alliance with Nuclear weapons and missiles and president Chirac made it clear that quote all
Options are on the table when it comes to dealing with North Korea and as far as where China is on this a foreign ministry
Spokeswoman said the situation was now at quote a tipping point
Approaching a crisis adding at the same time there is an opportunity to reopen peace talks. We hope relevant parties can consider
How we can deescalate the situation on the peninsula and realize peace and stability on the peninsula?
You know just some super happy fun stuff happening in the world
And that's that's where I'm gonna end today sure I wanted to leave you on a a happy note
I think certain in these times is that things are uncertain
