In criminal court proceedings, defendants have the constitutional right to represent themselves (pro se), and judges must inform them of this right without pressure to hire counsel. However, judges cannot modify bond amounts based solely on financial hardship; bond decisions must consider factors like flight risk, criminal history, and the nature of charges. When a defendant argues that a statute is unconstitutionally vague or overbroad, they must provide advanced notice to the state attorney general, who then has the opportunity to defend the statute's constitutionality.

Stupid EKG... But I Will Listen...Added:
[music] Hi guys, it's Kathy. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for the extra 30 minutes this morning. I appreciate it.
Today we're saying stupid EKG.
Even though it has nothing to do with me, but we listen to EKGs cuz they're important.
Tell you about your heart.
You got to listen.
But it still sucks.
Anyway, don't worry about that. Someone understands.
Um, today we have a a litany of crazies, which fits right in with us. Here we go.
>> Mr. Walsh, let's go back to you, sir.
We'll have you come up to the podium.
It's case 26 M49.
>> I uh I do apologize. I had a time. I'm sure it's not talked in. I apologize, your honor.
No, not necessary, but thank you for explaining the urgency of your uh arrival and departure and return. I'm glad to hear you got your pet back. Uh so, let's get to the serious nature of the case today. You are representing yourself still in this case. I I have just been unable to find representation.
I guess I can file for a public defender. I mean, I personally am comfortable defending my first, fourth, 6th, 8th, and 14th amendment rights, though.
>> Are you comfortable doing that, sir? CJ, don't leave. I got to go get something.
I got I'll be right back. But CJ, don't leave >> if I have to. Pro.
>> You have the right to represent yourself. You I'm not telling you to get a lawyer. I'm just summarizing the status that you are representing yourself still.
>> Correct. You have filed a motion to dismiss that is complicated. Some of the allegations are alleged state violations of your federal constitutional rights and those have to be addressed through a federal lawsuit.
Some of what you've addressed goes to whether or not the Colorado statute is unconstitutionally over broad or vague in that it prohibits your right to freedom of speech. Those motions may require you to provide advanced notice to the Colorado Attorney General if you are arguing that the Colorado statute is unconstitutional.
>> Yes, your honor. If you are arguing that it is unconstitutional as applied to your case, you still have to notify the Colorado attorney general so they can enter on the case and argue why in fact that statute is constitutional.
The prosecution obviously has a right to respond to your motions. Today is not set as a motions hearing. So, we're not going to resolve the merits of your motion today. Okay. Well, thank you. You will have a chance to be heard. I just want to go through what I had prepared to tell you as to the status of the case. As the judge, I do not have the authority to choose to dismiss the case.
You have to prove a legal grounds for dismissal, and that would be done at a motions hearing, which is not today. The prosecutor seated behind you determines whether or not the charge has merit and he gets a chance to review your motion and prepare and then present his arguments at the motions hearing.
So right now you can plead to not guilty and we'll get you set for trial. We'll set a motions hearing date. You can choose whether or not to continue representing yourself, though it is advisable to get a lawyer. People now are choosing to use AI or do their own research to help them prepare, but it is still advantageous to have a trained attorney represent you in a criminal matter, especially one in which you are facing a potential jail term such as this case. So, you mentioned you could apply for the public defender. I was not trying to pressure you into that, but it is an option. Uh, your honor, I understand representing yourself in an emotional case like this where the government has violated so many of my rights for so long. I definitely do not will not benefit representing myself. It would most uh it would be more advantageous to have a public defender.
Really, anyone that can read the Bill of Rights and argue for me cuz I'm emotionally invested. It's going to be difficult for me. So, I will apply for the um public defender. Um I will also uh for the motion I'd like to set the motions hearing because I will also be filing a counterman v. Cal argument. the reality of true threats versus not. I'll argue that. I apologize. I didn't have my phone all weekend. I obviously meant to come here early, but my husky that I just adopted can chew through everything, so he has to be permanently on a chain. Today was the one day I didn't put him on a chain. Horrible mistake. I apologize.
[clears throat] Uh, and then I'm also going to be filing that anti-slap motion, which I know I have to do within the next 32 days. So, with both of those motions, I will be filing as well as that other uh motion. Okay. When I mentioned the option, >> I will never file an anti-slap motion ever. I believe in slapping.
CJ, look what I got at the store.
Australia's violet crumble. It's the way it shatters that matters.
Now, is this a real thing or did I get duped? Is this real? Is this like a normal candy bar in Australia?
Violet crumble. It says something about honey. Hold on.
Honey. Honey. Honey. I thought it said something about honey.
Delicious shattering candy. Honeycomb.
Is this what like do you is this Do you eat this? Do you Hold on. It's I can't break a piece off to see the inside.
It's like nougat. It looks like nougat.
Oh, wait. No, it doesn't. It's It's hard, but I'm going to try it and I'll tell everyone how it is. It might not be like popular in Australia. It just says Australian candy. So, I thought maybe it was something popular in Australia.
All right, back to the craziness, guys.
Wait, wait.
Kelly, thank you so much. Thank you so much.
>> Of setting this for trial. You nodded affirmatively. So, do you wish to enter a not-uilty plea today and request a trial?
>> Yes, your honor. I I would like to invoke my sixth amendment right uh say that I am not guilty and start that six-month timeline right now.
>> And would you like to elect a jury trial or a court trial?
>> Jury trial, your honor. I'm going to go ahead and pick a date.
We are going to give you the public defender next appearance.
>> So, Dak, it's delicious. It really is. Kristen, did you see that guy yesterday? I think it was yesterday's stream had charges in mini haha >> to see if you qualify. They can print that out for you down the hall. His contact information is in the corner, Mr. Tooffer. You can text him and he'll help follow through with the application instructions. Um, your honor, I would also like to just state for the record, I'm going to be filing a motion for sanctions against the district attorney because their contact information on their website lists a poodle and the phone number is 55555.
I have been unable to ser.
>> Please do not call that number looking for a poodle. Serve >> these people with any sort of paperwork because their contact information is very unprofessional and you can pull that up on their website right now, your honor.
Okay, let me I'm sorry. Let me come back. I'm so sorry, your honor. That when I saw that when I saw that, it pissed I'm sorry to say this on your court. It pissed me off so bad. I sent it to everyone in the county. I'm like, this is our district attorney. He's a poodle.
It's very unprofessional, your honor.
And I have a I have a legal obligation to send motions to them, and I've been unable to do so.
Okay, let's take things one at a time. Mr. Walsh, you the court accepts a not guilty plea request for jury trial. The jury trial set for September 17th at 8:30.
>> Is that in the morning, your honor?
>> Yes.
>> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. When you typically we can do a one trial day, but we'll hold the Friday open if it needs to go longer.
We're going to set the next court date for June 3rd at 10:00 a.m. They can print that out for you down the hall.
It's a week from tomorrow.
Contact Mr. Tooffer by text. He's His information is on the not Mr. Matthews.
>> Okay.
>> The public defender on the corner of your application there's his phone number there.
>> Yes. Okay. Yes. Send him a text. He'll get the application process started. Try to do that before your next court date.
Okay. Nice.
And then prior to June 3rd, your honor, I just want to get all my motions filed.
Like, how soon? Prior to that date, motions will be due probably July the 2nd. Well, for our motions hearing, we said June 3rd, right? No, that is for application to the public defender.
>> Okay, I apologize.
>> So, let's assume you qualify for the public defender and after talking to him want to accept their representation.
Your public defender will go back over your motion to help you prepare with legal advice to present that motion to the court. So, when you show up on June 3rd, we're going to find out if you get the public defender.
If you do, then we'll set a motions hearing.
If you don't, we'll set a motions hearing. We're still not going to do your motions next week. The DA gets more time than that. Okay. So, for June 3rd, we're going to schedule appearance of counsel, see if you qualify. We're going to set a motions deadline. and the public defender may have additional motions that he wants to file, but he needs time to get the information about your case to properly help advise you as to your options.
Uh, the only other thing I was concerned with, your honor, is I had employment outside of the state, which I can't obviously go do now, and I can't move my nursing license to Colorado with a pending charge. It's just very ill- advised. Um, my bond is $2,000, which was all of my savings. Um, I am in need of money. My truck needs repair. I, you know, I'm not going to leave this the state. You, you've seen me before you, your honor. I'm not going to go anywhere. Um, I'm just requesting somehow, some way I can get some of that money back. Just I I I because my resume is um nursing, I cannot get a job in Park County. No one is hiring me. I'm overmployed. They know I'm going to leave as soon as They know I'm going to leave as soon as this case is dismissed, which it will be.
>> Listen, nurses, [clears throat] nurses, listen. It's okay.
Every profession has one. Okay? So, you have one. You have this guy. There's nothing you can do about it. It's okay.
We all look as a server. I have millions of crazies that that are servers. You have one one nurse. He's fine. He's He does He's not employed.
>> Okay. Mr. Matthews, there's a request to modify bond.
Currently, this is 2000 cash bond posted by Mr. Walsh.
>> Poor CJ.
Anytime we have anything slightly Australian, we nail her with it. Oh, look, look, look.
What does this mean?
>> Mr. Matthews, any objection to converting this to a personal recgnizance bond andor reduction of bond?
>> One member.
>> Um, yes, your honor. The defendant is charged with harassment.
Um, [snorts] and he has a conviction for DUI in 2012.
I can't buy food, your honor. I'm just going to be honest.
a deferred and dismissed harassment and 23 20 what? That wasn't a real word. So, harassment. He's charged with harassment. He had a deferred harassment. Oh, deferred. So, he finished his probation. It was dismissed.
But I didn't know if it was 2003 or 2013. I couldn't understand him.
That was 3 months after my father's suicide.
Um, and uh, he could be a flight risk.
>> He's not a flight risk.
>> No.
Your honor, I believe in the Bill of Rights so strongly. I will never leave this fight.
>> All right, Mr. Walsh, these are quotes from the arrest warrant. They are unproven, but >> Okay, [snorts] guys, there's some foul language coming up. All right. Just just warned you >> that they constitute the evidence presented to the court as to why there's probable cause.
>> Okay. In the future, when you say any of these words, try to say them as slowly and calmly as this judge is right now.
Okay.
I will look at it, CJ. I will look at it. to suspect that you may have committed harassment.
>> Right. And I don't like quoting these, but I think it's important.
>> Uh, your honor, there was one night where I'm not proud of what got said. I >> I you anything you say is recorded and may be used against you, but this is why I have concerns regarding community safety.
Hey, [ __ ] Wad. [ __ ] you, and [ __ ] the government.
[ __ ] you loser. [ __ ] you [ __ ] Government dicks sucker.
>> Government [ __ ] >> your honor after 8 months.
>> I don't want you to interrupt me for a moment. Okay.
>> Let me know, bro, if you want to [ __ ] with me. I know where you live.
>> Yeah, I had to delete one word.
>> That's a threat as alleged in the warrantless arrest.
I wish death upon you.
How do death wishes feel?
Hope you die, loser.
So, this is a serious case in the court's opinion. These are not statements of >> that just sounds like Saturday morning breakfast, judge. I don't know why your your panties are in a bunch. free speech as alleged in this document as far as saying that the government sucks or you don't believe that they are conducting themselves in an appropriate fashion or that you feel like you're being harassed by the government, which obviously that is underlying sentiment here.
If proven and if this is evidence presented directed at a particular individual, it is of course concerning and that person would have obviously a reason to be concerned for their safety.
So, I'm sorry. I know you chose to post the cash bond.
You could seek the assistance of a bail bondsman. You can revoke your own bond and get a bail bondsman to post that bond for you. I think this was a cash or shity bond option. That would be a way to access some of the money. It's not ideal, of course, but based on these allegations, the fact that you do split time in California, in Colorado, the prosecutor is concerned about a potential flight risk. I am not going to modify your bond.
>> I don't understand what the whole modifying the bond was for. He already bonded out. He paid the $2,000.
Maybe he just wants the money right now.
He wants it back.
>> So, I'm not going to go look at the DA's website. Um, you've raised your concern.
Mr. Matthews has heard your concern and if that is factual, hopefully something would be done to remedy that. But it's not my place right now to look into that. So, >> no, the government doesn't. Never mind.
Government. Never mind.
>> Contact the public defender.
I'll see you back here next week at 10:00 a.m. We'll find out if you get the public defender to assist you if you want them to enter after talking to him.
>> Yeah, I'm not I'm not worried about a jury trial. I just hate that we're going to go through all this process.
>> All this guy I'm sorry. All he had to do is send me an email, your honor.
>> Okay. Um >> No, he doesn't have to do anything. You broke the law, sir. You're You're going to go to jail.
You need to worry about you right now, not the puppy on the DA's website, which clearly clearly is them. Just clearly that's not real, sir. You need help.
>> Be that as it is, we've got you scheduled for jury trial.
>> And for anybody listening, know the DA in I don't know where this is. I know it's Colorado obviously, but I don't know. I don't remember which county. The DA in that county is is not a puppy.
It's just not. And his phone number is not 555555.
>> Speedy trunk blocks running. You've got the public defender to talk to to see if you want and qualify for legal assistance.
I'm not telling you to get a lawyer, but my job is to advise people that it's advantageous to have a trained criminal attorney because I can't give you legal advice. I can't make exceptions for you for not being an attorney. Obviously, you're doing your research and that that's good. But you can talk to the attorney and see if you want them on your side. Okay.
>> Yep. Thank you, your honor. Head down the hall uh in just a moment. Mr. Matthews, >> your honor, did we set the pre-trial readiness conference and a motion hearing date?
>> I was going to do that next week and see if Mr. Tooffer's here for those dates.
>> Okay, that makes sense.
>> Before we get those on the calendar. So, down the hall, they'll print out your next court date. Please contact Mr. Tooffer if you qualify. You can decide for yourself whether you want them to join on your side. We'll see you next week.
>> Cool. Okay. Thank you, your honor.
>> Thank you.
>> Is Mr. Aragon's case going forward with a plea?
>> Mr. Z, >> I don't have one yet. We were still waiting for VR, I think.
>> Okay. Is that correct, Mr. Bulock?
>> J, I'm not prepared to go forward with the plea. In fact, the offer I anticipate I will withdraw. Um, >> okay. Give me just one moment. Mr. Aragon, if you could come forward. We're going to address your case or cases.
Those are 25 CR37 and 25 CR 100. I note the appearance of Mr. Bulock on behalf of the people. I have Patrick Aragon present today in person. He appears with his attorney of record, Russell Zayn, and we were scheduled for plea hearings.
Mr. Bulock, do you want to make a record?
>> I certainly do, your honor. Um, your honor, at the time that I appeared at the last proceedings, uh, my office had not had victim uh, input in regards to the plea and we were not in compliance with the victim's rights act. Since that time I've met with the victim, um, based upon my conversations with him, I do not believe that the offer that had been extended was appropriate and I would withdraw it at this time. I understand that may trigger some >> It's going to trigger a hissy fit.
That's what it's going to trigger >> filings by Mr. Zayn, but I do not believe that the offer that was extended um certainly was not appropriate.
>> Thank you, Mr. Bulock. Mr. Mhm.
>> I know. It's kind of weird how you say it's not appropriate and then make your own stipulation to probation and no jail on top of the offer that was extended by a different deputy. This makes no sense to me.
This offer is perfectly appropriate.
We've detrimentally relied on it and and here we are them and they're just pulling it for no real reason other than they didn't do their job right the first time. This is not Mr. Aragon's fault. This is highly frustrating. We worked a long time to get to this disposition and now we have to pay the price cuz they never bothered to consult with the alleged victim.
Like I I'm just real tired of people not following through with what they say they're going to do. And that's been happening a lot here. I don't know what the reason for that is. I'm I'm sorry.
The parade of deputy DAs that have come through here have been horrifically incompetent and been fired, but you know, that's not Mr. Aragon's fault. It's not my fault.
It's not the court's fault.
We've been waiting to do this plea for months now. So, I I will be filing something along these lines because of this. And I just tell the court I'm very frustrated and very sick of it.
>> How much time do you need to prepare >> well >> a motion or or brief with respect to the issue?
>> Let's see. I got to brief the court backing out of a PR bond uh on a homicide case last time we were here.
Now apparently I have to brief this where the DA is backing out of an offer that was uh made and and set over so we could get paperwork like five times. Um probably going to need at least 30 days.
>> And Mr. Bul, how much time would you need to respond to the motion?
>> Two weeks. Right.
The court will grant to [clears throat] defense council 30 days to file a motion with respect to the withdrawn plea agreement or plea offer.
Uh that will be due on June 26. I'll grant to the people 14 days to file a response. that will be due on July 10 and the court will set the matter on July 14.
Okay, here's what I think.
So, I think the lawyers are are paid to overreact. I just they get better results when they overreact.
But that doesn't mean there's no truth involved in what he was saying. I think maybe one um district attorney has been fired in the past year, two years or whatever um because they they weren't good enough and now he's using it in all of his cases, but I don't know that.
Okay, this next one, guys, it's very short. It's a crime we we don't hear often, thank goodness.
But what did she do? They don't tell us what it was a her and her friends. What did they do? I wonder. Or maybe I don't want to know. I I might not want to know, but you're going to have a a bunch of um questions after this.
>> Can you hear me? Okay.
>> Yes.
>> The high church in your case is tampering with a deceased human body.
It's a class 3 felony.
It carries the possible penalties of 4 to 16 years in the Department of Corrections, a $3,000 to $750,000 fine, and 3 years of mandatory parole. Your mandatory protection order includes the provisions I went over earlier with everyone.
Do you acknowledge and understand those provisions of your mandatory protection order?
>> Yes, ma'am.
If you were to vi violate any of the provisions of your mandatory protection order, additional criminal charges could be brought against you and you could also face proceedings contempt of court.
Do you understand that as well?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Recommendation I have here is for a PR bond with no pre-trial supervision. Miss Butterfield, I am objecting to that recommendation.
[clears throat] I would note that the two uh codefendants who are charged with the same charges um one still has an active warrant. The other one had her bond set at $100,000 cash only um which I believe the active warrant that's the bond that was set when the warrant was signed. I'm just asking the court to keep the bond at that amount in line with the similarly situated codefendants.
>> Thank you, Miss Wood.
Your honor, this is a conflict for office, so I'm not able to speak on her behalf.
>> Thank you.
Miss Pella, you have the right to remain silent. You do not have to say anything before I set your bond. If you exercise your right to remain silent, I will set your bond based on the information I have in front of me. If you choose to address the court regarding your bond and wave your right to remain silent, please do not say anything about the facts of your case because anything you say here can and will be used against you. The public defender's office would normally be representing you today because you are in custody. However, I have been told by the their office that they have a conflict of interest and are unable to represent you. I do not know the nature of the conflict, just that they have a conflict preventing them from representing you. You always have the right to hire your own attorney at your own expense if you are able to afford to do so. In the alternative, the court can appoint an attorney to represent you at no cost so long as you are in custody or if you are out of custody and qualify under state income guidelines. Do you understand? Yes, ma'am.
>> Would you like to remain silent or would you like to say anything regarding your bond?
>> No. No. Silent.
>> Okay. Thank you.
>> Am I done?
>> Well, hold on. I'm going to set your bond. Give me one second.
I've considered the information, the affidavit, the arguments of the deputy district attorney, the information br to the court by the CPAP workup, and the purposes of bond. The court will keep the bond that was already set by the probable cause judge Alexander.
That amount is $100,000 cash only.
Miss Barella, your next court date is June 1st at 1:15 p.m. in division 404.
>> Okay. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> I don't know what she did. I have a million questions, but here's what I think. This is just a guess, a wild, wild guess. There was a murder. Probably someone in her friends group committed a murder and she helped get rid of the body in some way that she got a charge for tampering with with a corpse. like, you know, chopping it up or something.
So, that's what I think. I mean, she could have d they could have been like grave robbing. They could have dug up a grave to rob it. Whatever. That's tampering with a corpse. But, I don't know. I think that they committed a murder, called their friends, help me help me hide this body, and they all got caught. We're going to find out though because there's no way um I that I'm not going to get at least one of them soon that that says more. Okay, this one.
I thought I played this before, but I couldn't have because it was just made yesterday.
All right.
>> Versus Nicholas. Um 26M2125 I'm sorry 1241 25 M3581 um Mr. Sprag appears one of these cases is set for trial and set for motions hearing in about 5 days I think um this page appears on his behalf and Mr. McCall appears on behalf of the people ma'am. So, I don't know.
>> I will always help you hide the body.
Always. If >> the court has seen my emotions that I've filed in >> No, she wasn't charged with murder. She was charged with tampering with a corpse.
>> Um, the first >> which is just a charge we never hear.
So, this hearing right here we're listening to is sort of it's sort of a little dry and boring. It's it's not long, it's short until he starts to speak. Once he starts to speak, everything changes.
>> Is the answer to that question, but that doesn't mean I can't.
>> Okay. So, I can check. I file I believe actually the court might have issued an order.
>> I issued orders yesterday >> or it was a long time ago. Uh, let me just pull up the exact case number. So, 25 M3581.
>> It was a Let me pull it up before I start talking about it.
>> It's a rule under 168.5.
>> Yes. 102. By the way, the governor signed into law the new house bill which changes the rules.
>> This they he talks about a new law that the attorneys don't know about yet. So, that's pretty interesting, too. But I want to see your motions, too.
>> Completely on mental [laughter] health concerns. Um, the >> I had reserved dueling, but I can address it now.
>> Okay. Um, so this there was one case, I think it was Miss Spencer's case actually, where I didn't think there was enough.
>> There were two of them.
>> Yeah. One I issued up an incorrect order. I remember it very well. And >> this one was we were going to address it in in court at the motions hearing, but now I think we can just vacate the motions hearing and have that right now if the court would like.
>> Okay. Um, yeah, I can enter uh an order.
>> Okay. Thank you.
>> Um, >> I'm sorry. I can't hear, so I don't know what's going on.
>> Let me let me let me let me let me let me help you out. Do you need hearing assistance? hearing like a Do you want like a microphone?
>> Plugged up with wax or whatever.
>> He has ear wax, Judge. Judge, he has ear wax. He can't hear you.
>> If I speak up, can you can you hear?
>> You know, it's it's every now and then, you know, I can hear out of this here, but you know.
>> Okay. Well, can if >> it's like it's like a perception type thing, too, you know, like, you know, like weight, you know.
>> Okay.
>> Like gravity type thing, you know.
>> So, there's been an issue. what's been raised here. I'll just do it as a standard device. Give me one second.
>> Okay.
>> So, I you know, I feel like most of these Well, I know all of these cases are um you know, they've tried to falsely incriminate me and I don't know why. All the police tried as six officers on a homeless person with a puma bag. How does that make any sense with six blankets?
>> So, a question's been raised, Mr. Sprig, about >> Terry Ham. This is This is just like the meme you put in Discord. Well, the story you put in Discord. Six of them. Against him. Six officers against him. He lost though. You what?
>> Um your ability to either consult with your lawyer with a rational degree of understanding or have a rational factual understanding of the proceedings against you.
>> Whatever.
>> Um so what I'm going to do is suspend proceedings in this case. Uh you have a right and I'm going to have you undergo an evaluation. You have a right to have counsel and a hearing on whatever determination is made as a result of >> I get to choose the counsel.
>> You get you are assigned appointed counsel in this case, Miss Paige. Um Okay.
>> Uh if you have questions with that, you can ask for a status of counsel hearing, but typically I don't do that until competency proceedings are completed or at least the evaluation.
>> What is the question with my competency?
>> The the question is >> and why? Well, it's uh the question the question is whether you have the >> judge just roll back the tape. Just roll back the tape of this hearing and he'll understand >> ability to consult with your lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding in order to assist.
>> Why would I not have a a reasonable degree?
>> Well, that's what we're going to find out.
>> Okay.
>> Right. And whether you'd have a rational >> What what is the criteria for judgment?
>> Well, >> beforeever I enter these proceedings, I must know the criteria. Well, there is a brand new statute, right? One that was signed into law by the governor last week. Okay. Right. The the quest the criteria I don't believe has changed for this, right? Which is as I said a I covered the first one or for you to have a rational and factual understanding of the proceedings against you. I would make that determination after I'm assisted by an evaluation perhaps more than one evaluation of your competency.
And that's typically done by a psychologist or a psychiatrist >> cuz the criteria they're using to judge man.
>> Well, I just [clears throat] gave you the standard.
>> You said the psych a psychiatrist or a psychologist would judge me. You didn't say what >> we're doing evaluation of you. They don't judge you. I'm that's my job. My job is to enter judgment.
>> Your job is to enter judgment.
>> Right. I I make determinations >> with with the with the you know with the the opinions or the qualifications of somebody who's professional of something else.
>> Exactly right.
>> You don't you're saying you don't know their criteria.

>> This was a violation of probation, right? Correct.
Bren, you want to see what I got today?
I got I ripped it because I already showed it earlier.
Australian candy violent crumble. Okay, it's violet crumble, but I rate I've every single time read it as violent crumble. It's the whole reason I got it because it looked like that first word was violent.
It's honey honeycomb in chocolate.
Anyway, I was thinking about that. Guys, we should start a new business. I got a better business idea than any of my other ones. The reason I got this candy bar, the reason why I looked at the candy bar at first was because I thought it said violent crumble and I'm like, bet. I I want that. I don't care what it is. Then when I got closer, it said Australia's Australia's Violet Crumble.
And I was like, "Oh, people on the stream would love that. It's Australian candy." But violent crumble. I bought it cuz I thought it said violent. We need to make a line of candy bars that are just, you know, these crimes. Aggravated assault caramel. [clears throat] Double [snorts] homicide chocolate. We would sell a million of them. Right, Snoopy? Right. Somebody get on that.
You, someone head it up. We'll all give you money and we'll start a candy company. We won't use Hershey's cuz I know internationally people do not like the taste of Hershey's chocolate. So, we can use Cadbury. I'm fine with that.
How much he's on?
>> He's on probation until March 5th of next year.
>> So, are we applying the I mean, because he technically has >> Well, that would be six days.
The way that that we do that is if there's more execute, like if he would ever fully execute the sentence, we would subtract those 96 days off the original sentence. So, he's just going to continue on to the original set date of March 5th, 2027.
>> You got it.
>> Well, we're giving him 96 days, 48 serve, 48 good time. Correct.
>> Correct.
>> Okay. You We're throwing out different number. If just one per a different person, every time I say, "Let's start this business." If one person would head that up, we would have like 18 businesses going right now. And Brian, when you have 18 different businesses, one of them can be food. It's fine.
>> You're good with it?
>> Okay.
>> Everything's safe.
>> What's that?
>> We don't want to calculate that.
>> We don't do math.
And he continues probation to 3527.
