Sup, you beautiful bastards! Hope you're having a fantastic friday
Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show
And if you're new here, we do things a little bit different on Friday;
On Fridays, I try to cover story as we tried to get to earlier this week
But they ended up getting cut for time also more viewer requested stories
And so with that said, Let's just jump into it! :P
And the first thing we're going to talk about today; one of the most requested stories this week
This week was actually some internetie/entertainment news move over Logan Paul
you are no longer the most recent online celebrity to try and take a bad scandal and profit from and that is because
Lil'tè is back question mark; and for those not familiar with the whole Lil'tè situation
I apologize in advance or pulling you into the mud on this she is the little
Nine-year-old girl that you may have seen on Instagram at one point or another doing this
all y'all grown ass men hating on a nine-year old
She blew up online, I mean just on Instagram she got 2.7 million followers, but then there was a really quick downfall mom
Who's a real estate agent ended up being fired?
Because she was using her boss's Mercedes as well as luxury
Properties that she didn't actually own all reportedly without his permission it on came out that not only was her personality
Scripted it was being directed by her brother's whole situation led to the family being on Good Morning America
There was a whole interview and last month either lillte or whoever was running her account ended up removing
Everything from her Instagram it heard very little then on July 5th
We see a single
Instagram story with the message that just reads help me that brought us to this week where there was a new post on the Instagram
Account and it was a trailer
Typically, it was a trailer for a new show called life with lillte
The caption of the video reading lillte is going through a lot troubles in the most difficult time in her life at the moment
But she has a show coming out on July 13, which she had filmed before these events
But lillte will be back soon will tase management
It's a show that's premiering on the same day that a new on-demand service by the name of Zeus is being launched
And personally I'm not I'm not I'm not here for it based on the trailer
It seems more reality show
PR moon also raises a question regarding the July 5th Instagram story message that simply read help me mean to me
It seems like it's one of three options either one
They're just trolling - it's this little girl trying to get some help or someone that needs help or 3
they
decided to make people worry about this little girl as a way to then lead up to the promotion of a trailer and this was
A docu-series like the one they did on rachel dolezal where they there's no control whatsoever
Subject or subjects of the documentary that it may not reflect
well That I would be interested in but this to me just looks like a disgusting PR move
But a question I want to pass off to you with this story
but it also encompasses a lot of stories we talked about is there such a thing as
I press any because when I think about it for the most part a lot of people that end up having these
Controversies they they usually leave them almost better on really the only cases where I find that isn't the case are in
Situations where of course you have like the daddy of five situation, obviously while there were legal ramifications
They removed a bunch of their videos. They lost a big big big chunk of their audience
They also still have a youtube channel just called something else
but like in the daddy of five situation
The reason this one stands out to me so much is at the center of it
You have this this little child end up having these
Situations where you look to videos where she seems happy doing what she's doing and that it's her idea
But she's a child when you see things like the Instagram story that says help me
Even if it ultimately results in someone successfully trolling me, it really makes me concerned
And also, I hope that it's it's clear that I'm not targeting lillte here
I have just a shit ton of
questions for the people that are supposed to be responsible for her right now and even as far as the deal goes I'm fascinated to
see if Zeus will be a
Success or not unless it turns out the series is something completely different just even including it
It feels scummy and weird and manipulative that that's just my thinker. Maybe I'm being ridiculous
Let me let me know what your thoughts are with this story in those comments down below the front of that

I'll just share the secret link of the day anything at all links is always are in the description down below now
Let's talk about why so many high schoolers right now are outraged at the SAT and the company behind the SATs
College Board for those outside of the states
the SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions and the specific people that are angry in this instance are people who took
The SAT back in June it took the exam and then this past Wednesday a ton of them thought well something must be wrong here
Their scores were way lower than expected
And so it turns out it's because of a thing called
Equating the College Board released a statement on Twitter saying we understand your questions about your June SAT scores
We want to assure you that your scores are accurate. Well, we plan for consistency across administration's on occasion
There are some tests that can be easier or more difficult than usual
That is why we use a statistical process called
Equated weighting make sure that a score for test taken on one date is equivalent to a score from another day
So for example a single incorrect answer on one
Administration could equal two or three incorrect answers on a more difficult version the acquainting process ensures fairness for all students really quick to switch
Gears, I need to throw my opinion in on that statement me personally
That sounds less like a valid explanation and more of an acknowledgement of a massive flaw in your whole operation
and understand this is coming from a place where I understand what ik weighting is that it should work when you have instances like the
Jeunesse 80 you're talking about an extreme situation
If you're not familiar with the SAT on the math portion, you can get a maximum score of 800
I'll compare the March and June SATs so you can see how extreme the differences in March if you missed one question
You still would have gotten a perfect score of 800 whereas in June you would have had a score of
770 so a small difference there
but you really notice what an extreme this is with two and three questions wrong because in March if you missed two or three questions
You would have still got any score of
790 whereas in June you'd have either got a score of 750 or 720 that score difference is massive
And so you get you get the picture for the rest of it and unsurprisingly
There are also a lot of people that weren't happy with the College Board looking through the tweets
It's very understandable why so many people are angry one, Florida high school student tweeted
I
with thousands of other high-school
Students have been cheated out of a rightful SAT score given the College Board's decision to harshly curve down the June 2018
SAT test we deserve a true score and for our tests to be reconsidered under a fair scale also hearing from parents of students like
Eric Brock who tweeted my son got 77.6% of the math questions, correct on the December 2017 SAT and eighty-nine point seven percent
Correct in June 2018 an improvement of 12% yet got the same math score on both tests. That's a pretty harsh curve
We saw a lot of similar tweets heading on that note
I got one less wrong answer on math and dropped 70 points on math alone with this story
I'm just
Fascinated to see what happens here because it obviously it looks like the College Board only has a few options one
They essentially don't do anything they say, you know, 'ok waiting. It's a policy. It's a standard
Everything was right here
If you're not happy take the test again
which of course is gonna be pushed back because it is around like I went sixty five dollar tests to the people that have a
Hashtag rescore Jun SAT trending maybe they get their way and the College Board says
you know what we realized that the scale wasn't right to our your new scores or three because there appears to be such a
Drastic difference such a drastic curve. Maybe people that took the SAT in June can do it next time for free
I'm going to personally be glued
to this story because if this comes at not such a great time for the college according to some reports in places like
North Carolina for high school seniors participation and the SAT exam has dropped to 44 percent
this seemed to be because all of those students are taking the a
CT exam which is the rival to the SAT for free multiple areas gonna have to wait and see and actually on that note I
Do want to pass the question off to you. Do you feel that these students and parents have a legitimate complaint or no?
They need to just kind of suck it up. Take the test again
I know in my opinion
but maybe that doesn't line up with you and I'd love to hear from then in the world is a horrifying place and there's some
horrible people in it News
Let's go to Japan and wow
This this story is something and actually starts back in
2016 where there's suspicious activity and a couple suspicious deaths at a hospital in the Oklahoma Japan in September of 2016
There's this 88 year old man that dies the doctor declares that natural causes
But after the man had died a nurse notice that there were bubbles in his IV drip. This was suspicious police got involved
They conducted an autopsy and they actually found that he had been poisoned
Specifically by an antiseptic solution is common for cleaning hands and wound along with this man's death
They start investigating the death of his roommate who had actually died two days prior turns out and his autopsy
They once again find disinfectant and so at this point because of the poison
They start suspecting the nurse at the very least. They may have seen something because the antiseptic solution is used at nearby nurse stations
They then discover unused IV drips of the nurses stations that have antiseptic in it
Reportedly there were tiny punctures and the rubber seals of about ten of the drips
they then become even more suspicious of a
Specific nurse one by the name of a Yumiko boki this because they found traces of antiseptic around one of her pockets
But she denies involvement and for the most part we don't hear a lot about this story until last week on July 7th
Kabocha was arrested on suspicion of murder and long story short during questioning
She ends up confessing to killing both of the men. We initially started talking about and on top of that
She also added that she may have killed around 20 or more other
Patients and as far as her motive and how she decided who to target that
Reportedly she would target patients who were in serious condition who she thought would die during her shift and she portal he said she wanted
To accelerate these deaths so she wouldn't be the person
Responsible for telling the family nurses at the hospital are given the responsibility to inform the families of a death
So if someone died during her shift, she would have to do it
For example with one of the deaths her shift started at 5:00 p.m. But she arrived at the hospital at 3:00 p.m
Investigators believe that between 3:00 p.m. And 4:50 p.m. She injected him that man ended up dying at 7 p.m
But the nurse who was still around from the previous shift was the one that would have to break the news to the family when?
Speaking to investigators a ume reportedly said it would be troublesome if that responsibility fell on me
However, police aren't 100% convinced that she only targeted very sick patient during her time at the hospital
There are people whose conditions weren't very serious who ended up dying. It's now called many previous deaths into question without a full confession
They're most likely not gonna be able to prove anything because reportedly all those people have been creamy and so the main point of this
Story is there there is no point. It's just horrifying horrifying people exist in this world, and you don't know where they are
You just think about how weird this specific situation is
You have a probable serial killer who killed so they were in put in an uncomfortable situation
Where they had to explain someone died
Yeah, I don't even that's the end of this story
Then one of the most requested stories over the past week has been this moment concision whose real name is Mariah Mallad
She's a cosplayer. She's been at the center of a massive controversy
And that's because she's been accused of sexual harassment a lot of this starts on July 2nd creators guild which is an anime and gamer
clothing apparel shop
They posted this picture of Momokun on Twitter with the caption glad to be working with Mariah Mallad again for AX days 1
& 3 hashtag creators guild hashtag AnimeExpo to which someone responds. Are you aware that she sexually assaults people at conventions
That's tweet then gained some traction
Creators guild and respond saying thank you for your concern creators guild does not condone violence or harassment both physical and verbal from either
Cosplayers or regular individuals if there was an incident of this kind we wish to hear it directly from those slash
That person involved and then some people came forward model and cosplayer Bunny Ayumi tweeting sexual harassment should not be dismissed it
Is not easy to come forward but I have gained the courage to speak up at Anime Expo last year Momokun slapped my ass
in front of a large crowd without my permission after I had just met her another model and
cosplayer by the name of Kay bear then tweeted
I usually keep my mouth shut but since I now realize I'm not alone
I feel like I will say something Mariah has also touched me without my permission when we first met at Otakon Vegas
She pulled my top down while I was in cosplay and exposed my nipple in a bathroom full of people on top of that people
Started sharing videos where it looked like she was touching people who didn't want to be touched
There's an instance where she's putting her hands on and tickling another woman then another where it looks like
She's just grabbing a guy's butt without consent
Wait, we just have to wait be patient, you know, cuz you've got you've got some people wanting to buy your stuff
Oh, I didn't even notice. Yeah. Hi man. What if I like touch his butt?
And then just three days after creators guild had announced their excitement throughout a series of tweets
but one of the main points they wrote though our experiences with Mariah have always been Pleasant and
professional we have kindly asked her to cancel her meet-and-greet at our booth due to all the concerns that have been presented to us as
Far as Mariah's response to all this she took to Instagram to... to kind of apologize
But then I'll link to the full video down below so you don't think that I'm taking her out of context and you can watch
The whole thing but here here are some of the key points and you know
sometimes I'm very like handsy and touchy with friends and I get a little crazy and immature and
A few years ago clearly. That's what I was doing
Sometimes I get a little like
Crazy, and I think a lot of it has to do with like having ADHD and like not being able to control myself sometimes
But I just kind of get a little too comfortable. Not okay, and
I'm very sad to see people come out about this all at once
To kind of paint me in a light that's not
Very befitting or representative of me someone who is very against sexual assault and someone who is very much
So an advocate for it, I think I did though
Mess up by being too comfortable with people who I thought I was out within the boundary
I joked around a lot. Especially was too handsy and clearly I shouldn't have been doing that and
I ever offended anybody or like
hurt someone mentally or generally did so I genuinely apologize and
some people have personal vendettas and they choose when to say certain things to try and make
things seem a certain way for certain times to try to mess with things that I definitely do think that and
It's more than likely the case. See you guys tomorrow at the convention I'm super excited and
excited to give you guys lots of hugs. I mean no hugs. I will be keeping my hands to my fucking self
Air hugs, air hugs.
No kisses, it'd be like
glancing
And following that as you imagine, you saw a lot of different responses
One of the big standouts I noticed is that there were a lot of people that didn't like that
She said it was because she had ADHD a user writing having ADHD is no excuse to slap a cosplayers ass or lift their tops
You're a grown woman Momokun take responsibility for your actions another writing as a cosplayer with ADHD
I can tell you for certain that sexual assault is not a symptom and there's also been criticism online of how has this story not
Become larger want to use her writing. I want to see Momokun fall hard
but unfortunately
This case is now blowing up as hard as it should sexual assault is sexual assault
But because she's a woman it's not gaining traction
If it were a man, he'd be lynched women can be predators, too
What I'll say on a personal note is yeah
I can't help but look at the situation and and just really wonder what the public reaction would be if she was a man
Right what if every story in every video we talked about thus far instead of it being her
It was a notable figure online like a Casey Knights day, by the way
Sorry Casey not to just associate you with something like that. But you know someone that has seen kind of on the oven
Alright, what if it was a jacksFilms a ninja me?
Whoever would we be looking at a situation now that is much larger or at least there would be a lot more
Pitchforks, I believe so
Yeah, and I believe it's because a lot of people you know
they do have that double standard as far as the the difference between men and women that a
Woman is she's not really seen as a predator as much to many people with that said I do want to pass the question off
To you, what are your thoughts about this situation also as far as Momokun's explanation and apology?
I mean, do you do you feel like that's legitimate or no? Do you see that? Maybe more as an excuse a deflection?
I just love to know your thoughts here. And that's all we're gonna end today's show
And of course, this is the PDS it is not just a show. It is a conversation
so whether it be the last story the first one anything in between
