Sup you beautiful bastards
Hope you're having a fantastic Wednesday.
Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show.
And lets just jump into it.
No, but the reason we're talking about divorce today is the u.s
Divorce rate is reportedly going down according to an analysis by University of Maryland sociology professor Philip Cowan
This is heavily because of Gen Xers as well as Millennials those damn Millennials killing everything
According to headlines on the Internet to the point that it's gotten mean. Yeah, according to the analysis the u.s
Divorce rate has dropped eighteen percent from 2008 to 2016 for the most part
It appears that it's because Gen Xers and Millennials
They're in one they're getting married less - they're waiting til they're older when they have their life in some sort of order now finances
Education having some sort of idea who you are by yourself because we all die alone
And if you just try and fill that hole in yourself with another person, it's just not gonna be good
we all die alone says you get to know that person but also according to the report the reason younger people are also getting so
much praise is that older people have been divorcing at incredible rates according to the Bowling Green's National Center for Family and marriage research from
1990 to 2015 the divorce rate doubled for people between the ages of 55 and
64 and it tripled for Americans 65 and older but also whoever the research it appears that there is a
Monetary element to this cohen say marriage is more and more an achievement of status rather than something that people do regardless of how they're
Doing and Bloomberg right many poorer and less educated Americans are opting not to get married at all
They're living together and often raising kids together, but deciding not to tie the knot then also addict studies have shown
These cohabitating relationships are less stable than they used to be
So I personally found this really fascinating especially since I think a lot of people still have this notion that that marriages are
50/50 as far as if they're gonna end in divorce I say this as a man who is very happy in his marriage if you
Are young you're in love? You? Do not need to get married. I love my wife best choice
I ever made
We have grown and become different people and I think better people because of one another but there are very few non personal
Reasons to get married to get the government involved in your relationship
Also, make sure you have your shit together first if possible, and this isn't a unique thing
But it is a very true thing that other people have said if you have money that you're saving for
marriage spend that money on a trip together
Have you traveled somewhere with that person for two to six weeks and you don't want to strangle them?
That's a great sign. I have people who have been best friends that I wanted to strangle just driving across the country together
That will test your relationship
Also, every relationship is different
But the super final note that I want to add already pumped about before but Daniels loss
He has two specials on Netflix the second one. Jigsaw
He talks about relationships watch that if you're in a relationship with someone watch it with them tell me how it goes
I'm hoping for the best actually the question
I'll tackle into this story because we have a lot of different people watching different backgrounds different ages
What is your opinion on marriage? Have you done it do you love it? Do you hate it?
How many times if you not do even want to are you gonna wait, etc, etc
I'd love to know and I really look forward to your responses
But from that I want to share some stuff I loved today and today and awesome brought to you by better help calm

We also got a teaser for season 3 of daredevil get the launch trailer for Assassin's
Creed Odyssey, if you want to see the full versions of everything
I'll just share the secret link of the day really anything at all
Links as always are in the description down below only a two pieces of interesting industry entertainment news the first being we saw the further
Blending of the mainstream with the digital world. Thanks to Will Smith
Who did this the whole live stream where he jumped out of a helicopter?
Well, then she jumped out of a helicopter and it was live stream
There were a ton of people watching it live. The video afterwards is number one trending on YouTube and is over 7 million
I know there were some people crapping all over this because this was part of the YouTube originals push
So there's YouTube money going to someone that's from the mainstream rather than like a homegrown talent. Here's the thing
I obviously would prefer if YouTube invested more into the homegrown talent rather than these bigger things
but you have to for YouTube they have to do a kind of to prompt there's a homegrown and then there's the
Mainstream that's adopting it and it's all about validating the space also
I feel like I need to hit on this and no this is not me shit-talking Will Smith because as far as any mainstream
Talent coming to YouTube and braising the platform
I think Will Smith has done it in a real way in a way that it feels like it's about the connection and getting a
Message out there rather than just this is me marking off a thing
I'm supposed to do for my social media as far as the specific instance
you have a
mainstream celebrity that's getting a lot of people talking about what is happening on YouTube what you can see is a positive and personally I
Find it to be one that said you could see it as somewhat of a negative
considering the second piece of industry news that I was going to talk about yesterday Shane Dawson released Episode one of the mind of Jake
Paul in less than a day as of recording this video that video has gotten
9.2 million public views what the real-time views are right now
We don't know it 9.2 million on a 40-minute piece of content
That was so that was so massively consumed that in the first two minutes as I mentioned yesterday
It passed
200,000 views and so that video which is longer which is supposed to play better with the algorithm because it's keeping people on the platform
longer
I mean close to the same time frame has more than two million views more
than the Will Smith video a video that keep in mind was separate from the live stream and was only eight minutes that like the
Will Smith video has also been shared all over the place on other web sites is not even trending the United States as I'm recording
This video with way more engagement Dawson's video having over 1 million likes and only 13,000 dislikes Will's at 119 thousand likes
15,000 dislikes chains with over
160,000 comment wills at around
8,000 although given that Will Smith's video is in that coveted number one spot that just man the views pile in after that
It's very likely you'll close the gap maybe even past shame
And so and I say kind of more understandably with people angry saying this is an example of YouTube
embracing the mainstream before their own
So there was that there are also people asking me my opinion of episode 1 of the Shane Dawson series
what I would say is episode 1 was essentially a shame kind of just setting the stage for the rest of the series and I
think that's appropriate considering that there are ton of people that are gonna be like
what is a Jake Paul and I think kind of your passerby ins are gonna be like wait it was that the guy with the
suicide forest thing or is that oh
it's that guy's brother and all so then kind of as a refresher for people that are aware of some of the things from the
Past maybe not aware of some of the other aspects. Oh really? There's not ton to react to there
Although there is one
point Shane in the first episode has this kind of main focus of are there youtubers out there whether it be Jake or others that
Are sociopaths Jake Paul addressed this in his own video where he wanted people to know
I'm not a sociopath but of course the problem there is that's probably what a sociopath would say now that I'm calling him a sociopath
Which is actually the one thing I do want to comment on. I'm not qualified to diagnose personality disorders
I don't know if there's Jake or several of the other names that have kind of popped up because of this
conversation if they are
in fact
sociopaths
What I will say and this is no secret and I think most cynics out there could probably guess there are a lot of people
That are favorites to massive communities that are fake gasps fucking horrible people
And here's the thing given the rise of social medias and this specific avenue
We're talking about YouTube all of a sudden people
getting massive view is in the ego that comes with it and the money that comes with it and the opportunity is both good and
Really bad very quickly. It enables people especially if they do not have a good base around them
It enables them to become the worst version of themselves possible. People want more and more and more
They want to hold on to the attention the fame the money and all this is happening an environment that yes
There are portions of it that are collaborative
but it is very very
competitive to a lot of people and it's also something a shame kind of hits on this is all happening in an environment where the
Ridiculous the outlandish its incentivized
Also once you get to a certain level and it's different for other people
there's paranoia that comes with it because if you like
You know are people just using me are they here for whatever bad reason the thing is it's not even
paranoia in some cases
there was a
Situation for me personal I once found out that someone that I thought was a friend was bragging to someone else that they had
Convinced me into becoming their friends so they could get a job an opportunity
There are a lot of different things from a lot of different angles that can push you to a really bad place
And all of that if not dealt with properly
Can then further fuel even worse?
behavior
both in front of and behind the camera and so I'm feeling like over the course of the eight episodes that that is going to
Be addressed. Ultimately. We're gonna have to wait to see if that's true the questions I want to pass off
Do you hear one regarding kind of the Shane Dawson Will Smith?
Not to put these two Titans against one another do you feel like this is random
It's just the algorithm at play or is this preferential treatment in - if you saw episode 1 of Shane series
I'd love to know what you think
Let's talk about this story coming out of Alaska that I'm gonna give you a warning you're gonna be furious and this story revolves around
Justin Schneider was a former air traffic controller from
Alaska if you're wondering why we're talking about him today why you are going to be furious
That's because in August of last year Schneider met a 25 year old Native American woman at a gas station yesterday
She needed a ride woman accepted she got into the car
But Schneider didn't end up taking the woman to where she wanted to go instead. He took this woman to a dead-end street
He asked her to step out of the car and that is when Schneider tackled the woman and then proceeded to with both hands
Strangle her telling her that she was going to die Anchorage Police Detective Brett Sauber later wrote in a criminal complaint
She said she could not fight him off. He was too heavy and had her down being choked to death
The victim said she lost consciousness thinking she was going to die tonight or didn't end up killing this woman after the woman lost
Consciousness. He reportedly masturbated on her and when she regained consciousness Schneider was zipping up his pants
He handed the woman a tissue and then according to the criminal complaint
Schneider told her he wasn't really going to kill her that he needed her to believe she was going to die so that he could
Be sexually fulfilled and then according to police Snyder just drove to work following this a woman then reported the assault to the police according
To the Alaska star police of the woman had been traumatized to the point where she could hardly speak
After the assault neither was arrested at work
He was charged with one count of felony
kidnapping
three counts of assault and one count of harassment involving offensive contact with fluids with all of those charges added up Snyder faced 5 to
99 years in prison and here my friends is where the story gets even worse last week Leiter
Accepted a plea deal and he will not be receiving any prison time
Yes, really?
Although at some of the stories we've covered in the past
Possibly not the most surprising thing to you in this specific case and Schneider's daily plug guilty to one count of second-degree felony
Assault in exchange for the plea deal the other charges of assault kidnapping harassment
Those were all dismissed his official sentence was two years in prison with one year suspended
but the reason he won't be spending a moment in prison is because Schneider was given credit for a year under house arrest according to
Anchorage assistant district attorney Andrew granite he said he made the plea deal because she neither had no prior criminal record and seemed amenable to
Rehabilitation Franek also sang Schneider had already received a quote life sentence after he lost his job working for the federal
Vermin as a result of the case also saying that he believed the risk of Schneider reoffending is love something else that I found really
Troubling was something that Granick said two cameras. Keep in mind
This is the assistant DA saying that I hope it doesn't happen
That's the reason why I made the deal that I've made because I have reasonable expectations that it will not happen
but I would like the gentleman to be on notice that
that is one he's
one pass
it's not really a pass but given the conduct one might consider that it is ranek referred to this deal as a
Pass for the man that did everything that I just previously talked about
Also a thing of note here is according to local news sources Schneider did not apologize for his actions
he didn't mention the effects that his actions would have on the victim instead saying that he was grateful for the process talked about the
Positive effects this case has had on his life. I would just like to emphasize how grateful I am for this process
it has given me a year to really work on my self and
Become a better person and a better husband and a better father and I'm very eager to continue that journey as you'd expect following this
result there was a ton of
backlash online the plea deal to many it seemed
Ridiculously lenient considering what happened also on top of the fact that there is no jail time
Schneider is not even going to have to register as a sex offender for what he did and that's because despite the fact that he
masturbated on to this woman that he had just choked
Unconscious the state never actually ended up charging him with a sexual offense
The reason for that is prosecutors said the case did not meet the legal
Standards to be considered a sexual assault
and in fact
The outcry in Alaska has been so vocal the director of Alaska's Criminal Division had to release a statement and response to all of this
And in that statement John Skidmore director of the vision said though
It is understandable that some feel his sentence was not sufficiently harsh
all
Prosecutors are ethically required to follow the law no matter how disturbing the facts may be the same and also going on to say that
Skidmore independently reviewed the case and concluded the sentence was consistent with and reasonable under current sentencing laws in Alaska
But on the other side of that you have people saying yes
Because you dismissed the most serious charge which was kidnapping but on that note the criminal division's statement said state dismissed the most serious charge
Based on the conclusion that the state would be unable to prove the kidnapping at trial
Adding kidnapping requires that the victim be restrained or moved against his or her will the Criminal Division also addressing the past
Controversy saying the word joys use that is that some would view this?
As a pass was unfortunate and misunderstood the prosecutor was attempting to explain that while the agreed-upon sentence seemed lenient
it was consistent with current Alaska law and based on a thorough review of the facts of case my response to this whole
Situation is are you fucking serious one this notion that Schneider this monster this piece of hot
Garbage that he he is already serving a life sentence because he lost his government job. What the fuck mean?
It would have already been a weak argument
If you said he's already getting a life sentence because he has to register as a sex offender
He's not even getting that here
Despite and here's where it's extra batshit crazy and I'm just gonna use skidmores own words in this statement
He said in this case attending sex offender treatment is important his actions may have not technically qualified as a sex offense
But it is clearly appropriate under the circumstances and will hopefully help prevent him from doing more harm in the future
So he's not having to register as a sex offender and it does not qualify as a sex offense
But he is getting sex offender treatment bullshit bullshit bullshit. And how do you give this deal your your check?
And then in the same statement say aggressive prosecution of violent crime
Especially violence against women has always been and remains a priority for us
Well skid your words and your actions really don't seem to line up in to the politicians in Alaska
It sounds like you need to have changed your laws fucking yesterday. And also here's a question
How does this man also get to be a father his children at home and we're talking about a man that
Choked a woman until she passed out and then masturbated on top of her that's a person that gets to remain legally responsible
For a small child knows really where I want to end this story
I want to ask it more to Granick to anyone else involved that that approved that checked off that agreed with this deal or pass
You you call it unfortunate and that it's misunderstood, but that is a proper way to define what happened. This was a pass
I hope that this miscarriage of justice
Follows you to your sleep and I pray that this monster that you have given a pass that you ever allowed to be out there
With the general public does not reoffended - as far as that disgusting monster himself
Well, the laws of Alaska have fallen short and failed your victim
It is a general public that will have to pick up what little slack it can make sure that people never forget. What happened
What you did and that is why if you go to Justin Schneider guilty com
It takes you to this video specifically the part where I start talking about this story
So if you'd like to share this story, so more people are aware
You can share it the normal way or you can just pimp out Justin Schneider guilty calm and simply put they'll find out
Why you pled guilty? That's where I'll leave this one and I'll pass the question off to you
And actually that question is pretty open. What do you think about this given the violent nature of what happened here?
Do you think that it matters that he had a clear record?
Beforehand and also do you feel like stories like this are part of the reason why victims of sexual assault do not come forward
Yes, even when it is reported, we see situations like this. We see outcomes like the brock turner situation
I don't know any in all thoughts you have I'd love to hear that's what I'm gonna end
