- I wish wearing a black button-up,
didn't automatically make you look like
you're in a restaurant, working.
One second.
(upbeat music)
I fucked up.
(Paul laughing)
Fuck.
How am I fucking 36?
Ohhhh I kinda fuck with you.
(upbeat music)
This is the shiniest bullshit I've ever seen.
(Philip laughing)
Who bought this for me?
(Philip laughing)
Why?
(Philip laughing)
I've lost so much weight that everything looks
like I'm wearing, like my dad's clothes, God.
(Philip laughing)
Aah, better.
S'sup you beautiful bastards.
Welcome back to the, Philip DeFranco Show.
And let's just jump into it.
You know, first up, remember how yesterday we were talking
about bad investments,
people freaked out by stock market, the crypto market,
how I put a lot of money,
into Peloton and I hate myself for it.
Well, it was already kind of headed that way yesterday,
but we have now today, confirmably found, confirmably?
Definitively found a worse investment and that is Luna.
Now I'm not gonna get into the nitty gritty of this story,
about this and stable coins, and the future of the market,
blah, blah, blah, I'm not the guy for that.
Personally, I'd recommend you watch
Coffeezilla's latest video breaking it down,
a link to it down below.
But at the very least,
I need to give you these surface, level of this story,
because it is just insane.
Just last month, Luna Terra,
you'll see different versions of this in the headlines.
It hit a high of $118, the price today,
and it's dramatically changing,
by the minute 0.019, less than 2 cents.
And this is why, especially when it comes to alt coins,
you need to just like hold on a second,
when people are like, "Oh, you gotta buy the dip."
KSI massive, YouTuber, entrepreneur, everything,
yesterday he jumped into Luna thinking,
"Hey, maybe I'm getting this at a crazy discount."
This is either gonna be very good or very bad,
as we've learned, it was very bad,
especially because it turns out he put $2.8 million
into Luna, which as of this morning
was only worth around $1,000.
With a few other whales out there sharing their losses,
and I will say when it comes to the KSI's of the world,
I think people are more, you know, ready to dunk on,
or kind of, laugh at a massive loss like that.
Not because I think a lot of people,
if you look to a KSI, a Logan Paul, a Mr. Beast,
you're like, okay, they probably have net worth's of like,
eight to nine figures.
Like I think Mr. Beast is definitely gonna become,
a billionaire at some point.
But personally I can't make fun of 98% of the people
that lost money here.
'Cause I know a lot of people just throw in money,
at these alt coins, trying to like chase and hunt them down,
just regular, everyday people,
that are like looking for a way to escape society,
shitting on them daily.
Tryna break out from under the the shackles
of debt and/or low income.
And so whether on their own or they,
they listen to the sirens call of,
Joe blow fuck face influencer.
They just throw so much money into this,
and I just, I wonder over the past, like 72 hours,
how many lives have been ruined?
Yeah, crazy times man.
And then, let's talk about what seems to be the conclusion
of this incredibly messy situation
between Khalyla Kuhn, Bobby Lee, Brendan Schaub,
Bryan Callen, Ethan Klein, your mom and dad,
everyone was apparently involved in this story.
And spoiler alert, where we kind of end,
it just seems that Brendan Schaub is a giant beach baby,
but you can judge for yourself.
Because the biggest update is that,
Brendan went on Bobby and Khalyla's, Tiger Belly podcast,
to try to talk everything out.
There, not addressing he and/or his team's,
abuse of the copyright system.
But instead, the two kind of situations
that deal specifically with them.
The initial controversy regarding
Khalyla's trash Tuesday podcast,
where Khalyla and another host,
mentioned that a comedian hit on them.
But they don't mention him by name,
but they refer to a comedian who isn't funny,
and everyone was like, oh, Brendan Schaub,
which some say is funnier than
any joke Brendan Schaub has ever told.
And the second situation was Brendan accusing Bobby Lee,
of running a toxic credit that was attacking him,
leading to Brian Callen threatening Bobby's career,
and bullying him on the phone.
So among other things, while he disputes the accusations
from the other woman,
he does admit that he did DM and hit on Khalyla .
- You're referring to DMs?
- Right? Didn't...
- Which I own and was completely stupid.
- Thank you.
- Never should have done. - Thank you.
- What is Khalyla saying with Brendan right there,
that after the comments believed to be about Brendan,
made waves online, Brendan texted Bobby saying,
- This is a direct quote.
"You're finally going after anyone who harasses you online--
- Correct. - including comics.
That you have spent half a million dollars
on monster lawyers and that you have friends in dark places,
who are gonna get the job done."
- And adding she saw a post from a gossip site,
that she felt confirmed,
that Brendan was taking legal action,
and claiming that he was threatening to expose her, right?
Reveal negative information about her,
saying that it seemed like Brendan was upset
about the trash Tuesday remarks,
then he concocted these random allegations
against Bobby to retaliate.
Now, in response to that, Brendan says, that's not the case,
and actually there's already been an investigation,
into potential criminal activity on his sub Reddit.
He also talks about evidence that he can't send them
because they can't be in possession of it,
but he can show it to them and then they can talk about it,
which all sounds kind of weird to a lot of people,
but the number of red flags, for people going up,
when Khalyla actually says,
"This is not the first time
that Brian has done something like this."
- I also have it on excellent authority,
that we are not the first people he has threatened,
that whole Reddit thing about.
- Bryan?
- He has used that excuse on multiple people.
I know you're responsible for Reddit.
- Brendan, at one point also saying,
"You know the account had a certified email."
The Tiger Kelly crew said,
"We only have three emails associated with us."
And saying, "When we contacted Reddit,
literally there's no accounts with those emails."
But easily my favorite part of this,
and I think it gives us potential insight,
into how like the comedian podcast community works or,
at least how Brendan Schaub
was kind of trying to make it work.
Apparently, Brendan threatened
to take this situation to his daddy.
With Bobby revealing and saying straight to Schaub's face.
- You know, that you were gonna expose me to Rogan,
and all these people and that I should get a lawyer,
and that I...
I mean, this is what you, you had told me.
- With Khalyla also saying that she was told that,
Brendan tried to weaponize information about her,
to Joe Rogan, saying that on the same day
that he did the Flagrant two podcast.
- Meanwhile, on this day,
I was hearing from our friends in common,
that you had flown to Austin,
to speak to Rogan about this situation.
- No,
- That you were telling, - that's not why I flew there.
- Hold on, let me finish this and you can defend yourself.
- Okay, go ahead.
- That you were telling Rogan, Whitney, Schultz,
anyone with an ear slanders things about me,
that I was a gold digging (beep) stealing money from Bobby,
because God forbid, I make my own money.
That you hired a private investigator,
who was able to incriminate me,
for six years of Reddit harassment,
towards you, Joanna, and your kids.
- But Schaub denied that saying,
"You know, when I talked to Rogan, I said,
it's definitely not Bobby or Khalyla."
And several times throughout the podcast,
seemingly as a way to maybe given out
or given out for himself he says,
"You know, maybe it could be someone on the team."
- When I notified you guys of the harassment,
and going back to Tiger Belly,
that account stopped posting,
took the Tiger Belly email off and changed it.
It's never posted again.
- But still my favorite thing that his answer to this was,
I'm gonna run to daddy.
The comedian podcast daddy.
The two also kind of though it it's very loosely said
and some of the blame of why
this situation blew up even more was
Schultz and Ethan Klein asking about this on their podcast.
Bobby saying at the H3 podcast,
- I'm not one to air my dirty laundry on air, okay?
- Okay.
- And it was a private matter, and once he brought it up,
there was just no way to get out of it, I tried.
- [Philip] And Schaub saying of Flagrant too.
- Same thing with Schultz, when he goes,
"Hey, I wanna bring up the hate."
I didn't know he was gonna bring up,
this so particular issue with us.
- [Man] Yeah.
- And I said nothing, but complementary things.
I wanted to move on.
- But also, I would say to defend Schultz and Klyne,
like at any point they could have said,
"We're not gonna talk about this."
Really, I don't think Bobby or Khalyla
would've talked about it, if Schaub, hadn't talked about it.
Especially with Khalyla, I mean, she even says as much,
she saw that as like a green light.
Yeah, ultimately, that is the story, it gives us,
really interesting insight.
I think if there's a lesson that we learned from this,
it's please be nice to Brendan Schaub.
Otherwise, he's going to seek his friends,
in shadowy places, very expensive lawyers,
and/or daddy Rogan on you.
And then, really quickly, I wanna mention,
I wanna make a video with you.

And then, let's talk about some heroes, some bams,
some people that make us think,
that not everyone is horrible, and that,
thanks to this video, that's now gone viral,
out of Boynton Beach, Florida.
It takes place in this intersection,
traffic's flowing smoothly,
and then all of a sudden you see this one black vehicle,
drifting diagonally across the stop light.
Later turning out that the driver,
who we now know is named Laurie,
was convulsing after a mix of blood pressure pills
and fasting before a medical procedure had left her dizzy,
but her coworker's in a nearby vehicle,
and all they can see is that,
she's just slumped over the wheel.
So you see this brave coworker in leggings,
leaping out of her own car, rushing down the street,
waving her arms frantically at other motorists,
who then politely tell the bystander effect,
to fuck off, taking action.
Several people ditching their own vehicles,
running over to help to stop Laurie,
from rolling into a deadly accident.
And then you see them using their collective strength,
to actually bring the vehicle to a stop.
Which appeared to give one man far too much confidence,
trying to use his individual strength,
to punch out the window.
He failed.
Luckily, there was one woman there that was like,
"Oh yeah, works smarter, not harder."
She runs back to her car,
naturally grabs her trustee dumbbell,
which a man uses to smash in the rear window.
With another van climbing inside,
unlocking the passenger's side door,
so they could put the car in park.
But the story doesn't end there because,
they end up pushing the car again,
all the way to a 711 parking lot,
where a nurse who just happens to be there,
administers medical attention to the driver,
while the fire department's on their way.
And as for Laurie, she's fine now.
She ended up not waking up till the next day,
if probably very confused as to what happened,
but the main thing, she is fortunately now recovered
and very grateful to those who helped her.
Which is also why the Boynton Beach Police Department,
is asking people to identify anyone who helped out,
'cause Laurie wants to thank them
and honor them for their heroism.
Yeah, it's just an awesome story that I wanted to share
because I feel like there are just so many people in life,
and I think sometimes we think this about ourselves where,
we are just a,
we're just a bystander,
we're a voyer to the human experience.
But these people, on this specific day,
decided I'm going to stop something bad from happening.
And that's exactly what they did.
And honestly, if they didn't,
who knows if Laurie would still be here,
which is why all these beautiful bastards,
are BAMFs of the day.
And then, if you are a parent or you have infant siblings,
you're probably already intimately familiar with this story,
because right now, the US is experiencing
a nationwide shortage of baby formula,
to the point that, its just taken over headlines.
Leaving parents scrambling, to find whatever solution
they can to feed their newborns.
Rationing or watering down their existing formula,
or even driving hours only to find empty shelves.
And for those who aren't as a parent,
I can tell you this story is,
I think equal part's heartbreaking, as it is horrifying.
But this is not just a minor inconvenience,
you've got children, especially those
with certain medical conditions,
who need a minimum amount of formula to stay healthy.
With people like this, one woman in San Antonio,
having to ration out the last can of formula in her fridge,
where three year old daughter,
who suffers from a rare, allergic, esophagal disorder.
And she's been calling suppliers all over the state
to no avail.
And with 56% of formula out of stock in her city,
as of Tuesday, San Antonio is one of the worst hit places.
Which is especially bad for the low income,
mostly Latino population there,
who don't have health insurance,
and don't have time to breastfeed,
with how much time they spend working.
And as far as why this is happening,
one of the biggest drivers, seems to stem
from one formula manufacturer,
in particular, Abbott Nutrition.
Right, because back in February, when four babies got sick
with bacterial infections, after consuming its products,
the company took three types of formula off the shelves.
And on top of all this,
you have online private sellers, gouging prices,
selling formula for double or triple the normal cost.
And so of course with this,
you have Republicans blaming Biden for this saying,
"He's not doing enough to ramp up formula production."
Mitt Romney, yesterday,
sending a letter to the FDA,
in the Department of Agriculture claiming,
"Federal officials have been too slow to respond."
Though you have the FDA saying, they're already working
with Abbott Nutrition to restart production
at its plant in Michigan.
And adding it had been meeting regularly,
with various formula manufacturers,
to increase production capacity and urging retailers
to consider placing sales limits on infant formula products.
But for now, this is affecting a ton of people, right?
According to the CDC, only about one in four parents,
exclusively breastfeed their children,
up to the age of six months, meaning that most parents
and caregivers are at least partially dependent on formula.
And so where I'll end this,
to the parents struggling with this,
or if you know parents that are struggling with this,
the first thing that you should do,
is call your baby's pediatrician.
They might be able to connect you with a breast milk bank.
They might be able to get you formula samples,
but at the very least, you can get some information,
because right now it seems like a number of parents
are doing more dangerous things.
We're seeing doctors speaking out saying,
"Please do not try and make homemade formula."
With for example, Dr. Katie Lockwood, attending physician
at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Primary Care saying,
"Regular formula is FDA regulated
and held to very high standards,
the same way we treat medications."
And adding, "Making it at home is a lot riskier."
And Dr. Steven Abrams, a spokesperson
to the American Academy of Pediatrics saying,
"The nutrients and homemade formulas are inadequate
in terms of the critical components babies need,
especially protein and minerals."
The American Academy of Pediatrics
also strongly advising against homemade formulas.
And as far as some of the reasons why,
in the New York times noting,
that such formulas can contain an excess of minerals
or nutrients, like salt,
which a babies developing kidneys or liver,
maybe unable to break down.
You can also just accidentally use too much water,
which can cause a condition known as water intoxication,
which can lead to dangerous complications,
like seizures in young babies.
And that's in addition to contamination risk,
you might accidentally introduce bacteria,
or something else that's dangerous for a baby.
With Dr. Abrams telling the times,
in a pinch baby's over six months,
with no known allergies can have pasteurized whole milk,
cows milk for a brief period of time,
until parents are able to find formula.
Once again the situations and advice,
gets specific to your child.
So the first call should be to your pediatrician.
And understand if it feels like
I'm kind of just hammering this,
as far as contacting a medical professional.
It's just, I feel like I come across a new person every day,
that will like do some random shit,
they saw a 13 year old make on TikTok,
rather than like contact a medical professional.
And I'm not saying that's you,
but if it gets to one of those people, fantastic.
And then, in international news though,
it's interesting because
it's really more of a social debate.
Let's talk about Spain, and that's because
the socialist led coalition government there,
is preparing a bill on reproductive health
and abortion rights set to be unveiled early next week.
Also, I'm gonna warn you, Chris, on my team.
Love you, Chris.
You gave me two optional jokes to include in this segment
and I'm doing it because you'll see why.
But one of the innovative parts of this bill,
that's wrapping headlines right now,
is that there's a plan to give women at least,
three sick days from work,
if they suffer from severe period pains,
or I'm sorry, period, Spains.
(crowd laughing)
No Chris.
Oh, this next one's, better though.
But that's big news,
because that would potentially make Spain,
the first Western country to approve
any kind of menstrual leave,
and this bill is expected to pass.
Right now and under the proposed law,
women could even take as many as five days off,
if they have disabling periods,
with severe cramps, nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.
Sorry, I mean, buffelona.
(crowd laughing )
Whew, Chris.
Ah, turn the dad pun meter to 12,
but I think that's the last one.
Here's the thing,
a Spain Secretary of State for Equality explains,
"We are not talking about a slight discomfort,
but about serious symptoms, such as diarrhea,
severe headaches, fever."
And according to the Spanish
Gynecological and Obstetric Society,
"Around a third of women who menstruate,
they suffer from these kind of symptoms
known as dysmenorrhea."
And so if you just do the math right,
three to five days a month, that means,
36 to 60 more sick days per year, which even on the low end,
that's several times more than most people get in the US.
And so, as a result, you have some critics arguing,
that this could result in employers discriminating
against women during the hiring process.
Potentially, harming the very people it's meant to help,
though the government denies,
that this would lead to any such stigma.
And here's the thing,
while this may be alien to you or I,
it's pretty groundbreaking in the West.
Upon looking into it, there are other countries
like Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, South Korea, and Zambia,
that have some form of menstrual leave as well.
Also, there's another big measure
in the Spanish legislation that would allow women
over the age of 16 to get abortions,
without the permission of a parent guardian,
doing away with a 2015 law, passed by Conservatives,
that imposes the parental consent requirement
on girls age 16 and 17.
But still, many women struggle there
to find abortion services nearby.
So the new law also guarantees,
that all public hospitals offer free abortions.
Though at the same time throwing a bone to pro birthers,
it does create an official register,
allowing medical staff who object to abortion,
to opt out of involvement in it.
Additionally, there are other parts of the bill,
removing the VAT tax on female hygiene products
and makes pads and tampons available
for free in schools and education centers.
Plus, that's right, it's not over,
the public health system there,
will dish out free hormonal contraceptives,
including the morning after pill
is part of a sex education program.
And as kind of the cherry on top,
the bill extends paid leave for childbirth
from 36 weeks up to the moment of birth,
giving women four extra weeks paid.
But unfortunately the one thing not included
in this legislation, are free plane tickets
from the United States to Spain,
since our country is going back five fuckin' decades.
But the question I'll pass off to you,
it doesn't have to do with the abortion stuff.
We've talked about that over the last two weeks.
What I am most interested in with this story,
is what are your thoughts on the menstrual leave?
Are you for it?
Are you against it?
Are you kind of in between,
and you kinda just wanna see how this plays out?
Let me know what you're thinking
and why in those comments down below.
But that is ultimately where that story
and today's show ends.
As always, thank you for watching,
being a part of the conversation in those comments.
If you want more news, you can click or tap right there.
But of course, as always, my name's Philip DeFranco
you've just been filled in.
I love your faces and I'll see you next time.
