[00:00:01]What's up with the second mail, bro? I'm going to go live on my main page. Go check it out. I have no notifications.

[00:00:08]Ryan Upchurch looks like he's lost um part of this lawsuit here. The verdict is 17.5 million million dollars in this defamation case. This is a case where uh we'll get into it in the live stream.

[00:00:28]But this is kind of like F and A F O for him and maybe other people that go around falsely accusing, making false statements maliciously and intentionally, in my opinion. And I was even mentioned in the family's lawsuit and I heard that I was even mentioned during the trial.

[00:00:43]Okay? And I had my own lawsuit which I we ended up settling out of court, but I figured we need to come out and talk about this and also there's still the punitive stage of for damages. So there could be more damages or more the number can get higher above 17.5 million. Maybe he will you know, appeal and who knows where that's going to go, but this is a huge huge deal. I don't know why the news stations, besides this one local station, isn't talking about this. Maybe tomorrow they will.

[00:01:15]Just a horrible situation for the family. I feel so bad. Genuine nice people that I got pulled into this mess too and so did Zane and me. I was getting death threats and all kinds of I was accused of being in a trafficking ring by this guy and all kinds of insanity insane-ish.

[00:01:35]It was one of the craziest times on YouTube for me.

[00:01:39]One of the craziest times for me on YouTube where I was literally in fear for my life.

[00:01:44]The insanity. So is this audience now, the people that egged them on as well and cheered them on and encouraged this and all the people that turned their backs, are they going to pay some of that? Are they going to pay a portion of that?

[00:01:58]I don't know.

[00:01:59]So, come hang out with me. Appreciate you guys. Bittersweet.

[00:02:03]Um happy for the family. I'll see you guys in a bit.

[00:02:06]I Dios mio. Dios mio, this is crazy, dude.

[00:02:11]Dios mio! Oh!
