We are truly off the rails today, boys. Having Vietnam flashbacks. Thousand miles there. Today is off the rails, baby.
Sponsored by Policy Genius, Cureology, and Kraken. Lots of good stuff today. Today is the day of lots of good stuff. Thank you, thank you.
Today, we are competing to see who has the most cursed TikTok page. Good morning, my queens of TikTok above 18. Above 18. Oh, no.
Important asterisk. So what happened was Ian gave us all a fresh login and we have been dedicated this past week to scrolling and liking to get the most cursed possible TikTok page with a fresh account. So we'll get into that later. I'm pretty excited though.
But at the top of the show we've got plenty to get to. For example, did you guys know, you guys remember Gal Gadot's Imagine with all the celebs that everyone hated? She was trying to, well she was trying to fix COVID or something and she got all the celebs to imagine. And it clearly worked.
Yeah, well we're out of COVID as you can tell. So somebody, Mysterious, put together, they got the usual suspects to recreate Gal Gadot's Imagine using H3 cameos. And you guys had, did you guys have any idea that this was going on? By the way, I am not associated with this at all.
So I initially declined the request and then he told me that I was the only one that declined. So I didn't want to be Buzzkill so I ended up doing it for him. Now what was your reasoning for declining? Because I can't sing.
Oh, interesting, wow. I had no clue, to be honest. Yeah, you can tell watching Zach. Zach was just super into it.
It's like, yeah, he's playing the song. I'll fucking play the song. You get song requests all the time. That's like part of the course for you.
Right, right, right. But Ian, you got roped in. My parents, obviously, I don't think they know what's going on. Ian, did you know?
No, I mean, it was a little weird because he said sing up to this point specifically and I didn't do that. Right, you took the money though. I did the intro. I pulled up the word for word preamble and I just said that instead.
By the way, I noticed you have the wings behind you, Ian. That's a very beautiful and angelic of you. I thought this roosted it up a little. Yeah, it's nice.
I like that. Oh, here it is. Apparently he spent, what, like $315 to make this out. There you go.
Money well spent. Hey, guys. Day six in self-quarantine and I got to say that these past few days I've been feeling a bit philosophical. Ian did so well.
You know, this virus has affected the entire world. It's hard to believe that you were real. It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from. We're all in this together.
And I saw this video of this Italian guy playing trumpet on his balcony to all the people who were locked inside their homes and he was playing Imagine. And there was something so powerful and pure about this video. Wow. And it goes like this.
Wow. Wait, are we going to get claim for this shit, bro? I don't know. It's not good.
It costs me a lot more than $315. if we get claimed. It was vocal or stellar, dude. Once it gets to my part.
Yeah, let me see, Zach. Sorry, Zach. You're too good at it. Bubba's on the sky.
Hey, what the fuck is this? For today. Aha. Imagine there's no countries.
It is hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion to... Nope.
Nope. Nope. It's short. I think it's very short.
Bro, that's the Beatles. Don't fuck around with that shit. True. That is just John Lennon.
Sorry, I misspoke. Living life in peace. You tried to sucker me into the song, but guess what? I'm not going to do it.
Joker brain, baby. Wait, did Gal Gadot say that? I don't remember that part of the original video. Joker brain?
Zach, I'm sorry. I used your catchphrase. I apologize. You're welcome Rothy's for that one, dude.
Zach, stop with the singing so good. You're going to get my ass slammed, right? Take it as a compliment. Yeah, take it as a compliment.
Here, I am. This is what I was excited about. Gabe stole the show. But I'm not the only one, motherfucker.
So, Michael, I hope you enjoyed that. Thanks, Zach. I really did enjoy it. Thanks to everybody else on A Street Crew who made cameos.
I know it was a bit of a weird request, but what about me? It was that a spicy video. Also, I just want to say thank you to A Street Crew for everything you do. I tune in every single week, and it's the highlight of my week every single time.
Thanks, bro. Thanks for what you do. And if you're looking for somebody who's good behind the camera... Oh, shit.
Is this turning into another work for hire? Fuck, now they keep... I got you. I got my shots.
Anybody else feeling horny right now? Oh, right. This was the original. Inspired gal.
Right, right, right. A high budget production. Well done. Yeah, sorry we had to skip you, Zach, but we know you sing and play beautifully.
Oh, thank you. I do take it as a compliment. Are my parents available for this story? Yeah, I think so.
They are. I'm going to get them on. So, you know, it occurred to me... Actually, let me show this.
Let me set them up with this. I saw this tweet of this new Amazon factory in Tijuana, which is so dystopian and disturbing, but here it is. But of all these 10 episodes of Families We Did, it reminded me of one of my best dad stories I've ever had, and I never actually told it. I forgot about it.
Fuck, they do. So this is a beautiful, brand-new Amazon factory that's in the slums of Tijuana, and it just looks so fucked up. It's a warehouse, not a factory. They just...
Okay. Yeah, a warehouse. But they ship and fulfill there, right? From what I understand, what they're actually doing there is circumventing Trump's tariffs from China.
So Amazon's having all their ship from China shipped to this place in Tijuana because it's only 20 minutes from the border. They disassemble stuff there and then put it in a truck and drive it across the border to where it's not taxed with tariffs and then sell it in America. It's the middle, man. It's the middle, man.
Yo, Jeff Bezos is such an evil fucking sick bitch. God, what is wrong with that, man? I was looking up how... I know that obviously the wages in Mexico are obviously considerably lower, but I think the average...
I don't know, bro. He's paying like $1.25, which I know is above the Mexican minimum wage, but I was reading the average salary there is like $1,300 a month, and this is approximately $160 a month. Hell yes. But maybe it's good jobs for...
I mean, these people are not living very well, that's for sure, around there. Hell yes. But it's going to be so disturbing. They're going to have barbed wire fences, probably have armed guards to keep the slum people out.
It's going to be so fucked there, bro. Just pay the care. Is this not going to be the employees? Living in the slums, that might just be who works there.
Oh, for sure, it will be. Yeah, for sure, it will be. Your mom's on the line. Would you like me to bring her a good story?
Yeah, right, yeah. Okay. But what do you think? Obviously, it's going to give these people a decent job, so what's globalization?
How do you rate that globalization effort on Amazon Square? Well, I mean, like I said, this is all motivated by tax codes and loopholes and stuff that have existed since NAPA came into place before Amazon even existed. This is just how it works. It's quote-unquote smart business.
It'll probably help these people living here, though, right, man? I mean, I guess it gives jobs, but apparently all Amazon warehouses that you can do are not the best and forced overtime and all that kind of good stuff, which we have here. This is our best export here in America is overexploiting labor. Hell yes.
Well, I'm assuming the labor laws in Mexico are probably not that progressive either, but I don't know that for sure. But something tells me they can do whatever they want with these people short of... Oh, look who it is, the celebrities. Here they are.
Mom and Dad. The Donarch. How are you guys doing? Good, good.
We just came out from the movies. Yeah, what did you guys see? We saw a Marvel movie. Banksy and the Jen Rames.
Was it good? It was really good. And you know what? The girl at the concession stand knew who we were, so she gave us a lot of popcorn.
Oh, damn. Perks, baby. Wow. Family's perks.
Wow. The Perks are coming. So I wanted to tell a story. I saw this picture of that new Amazon warehouse in Tijuana and it reminded me of my favorite story about Dad that I forgot to tell when we were on Family.
So I'm going to tell that story now and I thought, Dad, you should be here to defend yourself at the very least. Right. Another chance for total humiliation online. Okay, go for it.
Hey, listen. This is what it is. I'm airing my trauma. This is how I cope.
And this is the price you pay for that free popcorn. That's how it works. Yeah, exactly. You can't be like, oh, free popcorn and then oh, don't talk about how I traumatize you.
First of all, we paid for the popcorn. Yeah, we did pay for the popcorn. Mom just thinks she got extra. Well, I thought she was very generous.
Okay, that's not really. Maybe I should get a lot of popcorn. The name is Pam. Don't say her name.
I was going to say, give her a couple of names so she can get fired. Yeah, exactly. No, we paid for the popcorn. Oh, okay.
Do you know where she lives? No, the employee did nothing wrong. She was very nice. She was a very sweet girl.
She can get fired and she can write us and hold us responsible. We paid for the popcorn. They can check the receipts now. We can check the camera.
All right, so here's the story. Me and my family, I think this was probably in high school, right? We went on a family trip to Puerto Vallarta. We probably had like three days there.
Fun, right? Relaxing, good times. Not a lot of time. Three days.
Now, in Puerto Vallarta, there is basically like the beach resort area and then there's the town where there's kind of like the more locals but it's still touristy. There's like nice restaurants and stuff. It's probably like a 20-minute drive. So my dad thought to himself, we're staying in the resort and he thinks to himself what a great idea would it be to instead of paying a taxi, which would cost like $10 to buy public bus tickets and pay like 10 cents or something probably, right?
It wasn't the money. It was the experience of being with the real people in Mexico. That is such a lie. It was 100% the money.
It was not, but go ahead. Okay, that's such a lie. Like, okay, so we're on vacation. We have limited time and my dad forces the whole family onto a bus for 10 cents and he goes, we'll just take the bus and we'll go to the place and get off there.
Obviously, we're the only white people. We're all the only, well, not white, but American. We're non-Mexican people on the bus because who on vacation wants to take, first of all, a bus to save $10? Well, we get on a bus and it's driving and it's driving.
It's been like hours, hours. Do you understand what I'm saying? This is a 10-minute drive. It starts veering off, way off course and we end up like in the absolute outskirts of Puerto Vallarta and it looked identical to this neighborhood.
It started to look like this. The roads were dirt. It was all huts. It was very like third-worldy.
It was actually shocking. I'd never seen conditions like that so it was interesting in that regard. But it was a little scary because we were very out of place. We're dangerous.
Yeah, but beyond that, we were on the bus now for like three hours. We're in the middle of this like the whole day. We were all freaking out. We were on the bus maybe like 25 minutes.
Oh my God. We were freaking out. We're like, where are we? We don't know what we're doing.
And then the bus driver says, this is the end of the line in this neighborhood. And then he says, well, can you take us back, right? So he takes us back to the bus stop, back at the beginning and we're all so miserable. We're screaming at my dad.
We're feeling unsafe and my dad just locked up. Dad, you know how you just lock up and sit there like this? And we're like, dude, what is it like you're doing now? I don't know what you're talking to.
And we're all just like, what the fuck? How did you make us do this? This is horrible. Wasting one of our three days all just on a bus going nowhere.
And we get off and then finally we take a taxi back to the main place. But we spent like the whole day just on a public bus while on vacation. So that's the story. And it was traumatic and horrible.
Do you remember, Ethan, when we went to San Francisco and dad was so sure that we were going in the right direction, we ended up going up around and around and around and up the hills. It was hot. Dad has a tendency to get, this is the way we need to go. And, you know.
I don't remember that. You remember going to San Francisco where were we? We were climbing up hills and we were lost. So what do you say, Dad, about this experience?
Have I told it correctly, Mom? Dad, anything you want to add? No, that sounds pretty much although you made the comment about the people that were local. I think we were living in Mexico already at this point and I think we rode from Ahihi to Puerto Vallarta.
No, we were visiting. We were definitely visiting. We did not live there yet. Was this the trip Sean wrecked his arm or was that a different trip?
No, this is a different trip. This is a different trip. You're digressing, Dad. All right, get out of here, you guys.
Enjoy your free popcorn. All right, thanks. Sam, we're coming for your job. It was really good.
It was a good movie. Okay, thank you. Bye. Thanks, guys.
All right, the next part, I'm going to blast through this, but Sam has been absolutely obsessed. Sam, you better come defend this because I have a hard time believing this is going to be good. Stand up, Sam. It's Taco Bell.
You know, all the fried chicken sandwich crazes. So Taco Bell's like, all right, let's get in on this. And they have released a fried chicken taco that looks horrid, let's be honest. Oh, and then where's the picture you sent, Sam?
Or Ian, you sent a funny photo. Oh, I got it. Yeah, pull that out. Do you have a picture of Sam sleeping with her?
Oh, that's what you were talking about. She's literally passing out with fried chicken sandwiches in her hand. You love this sandwich, Sam, don't you? It is so good.
You can say that. Oh, my God, bro. What happened here? This is real.
It was so late last night. I was so tired, but I was starving and I had just gotten home from watching Bachelor in Paradise. I was like, oh, I haven't eaten meat. Oh, my God.
Did you ever wake up and finish it? I did. I woke up and finish it. You did?
Okay, that's good. So, like, it looks just horrid. I mean, and it's like a pita. I mean, look at this.
Chicken Wednesday. It was five hours old. I was about to say, we reiterated that this is five hours old. I won't mind up.
Okay. I won't help you. I don't know if that's going to help. Fucking Wednesday night, baby.
Fucking fried chicken. How much is hot? They are, I think, $2. You can get two for four.
That's a pretty good deal. Scary cheap, bro. Okay, but how is it? Here we go.
He's calculating. Going for a second bite. That's what it's supposed to look like. There you go.
I mean, it doesn't look that far off, to be honest. Looks a little shittier. Here was the other picture I got to try that. It's five hours old.
Tastes great. Really? Tastes great. Yeah, I like it.
Nice. You were really unimpressed with the last one that we got. Where was that? We recently did?
Oh, was it Popeyes? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you were not. I guess it was the Nuggets.
How does it stack up against the regular Chick-fil-A? Popeyes. I don't know. I mean, it's a completely different setup.
I'm not super... The Popeyes one is okay. I like this one because the bread is thin. So I like that it's more focused on the chicken.
How often do we eat fried chicken, Sam? I feel like everyone thinks I eat it so often. I really don't. You really do.
I feel like you're eating it for breakfast. You love fried chicken more than anyone I've ever met. Maybe except for Gabe. Right.
I don't know. I mean, I've had these. I think this is the third time this week, honestly. I'm ashamed to admit that.
You go spicy or regular? I really love the spicy chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A, but everywhere else I usually get regular. Sam got me addicted to Chick-fil-A for a few weeks. Me and me were going every day because we were having it in the office.
It's just so good. She's addicted, dude. Definitely like the spicy one better. I feel like the bread's kind of pointless.
It's just like a pita bread. Chicken Wednesday. I'm on a diary for it. Sure.
Shout out to five-hour-old chicken. Okay. It's not bad. No.
My asshole. Bro, this roof flies all over this shit right now. Bullfuckers. All right.
Great. Fantastic. Nailed it. I gotta be honest.
I don't know what to talk about doing making fried chicken, though. It seems weird. Who are they? Who are they?
Talk about a wild card. They can do whatever they want. Did you see there's like a big chicken shortage because of all this chicken sandwich craze? No.
Yeah, there's an article in the DACA. Chicken shortage? Oh, whoops. Because everybody is...
Everyone's getting in on the chicken war. Fucking fried chicken. Poor chickens, man. There's like billions of chickens that die every year.
It's like a full... One day ago, KFC is not advertising its finger-licking good chicken tenders due to supply shortage. Look at that. Poultry shortage.
Great. And all the fucking chickens. Poor little chickies. Dude, chicken is so good.
You know, the ones from Costco, you know, they got the best deal in town with real history. Does that scare you, though, that you can go to Costco, buy a whole chicken's life, this chicken lived and died, for $4.99? Tastes so fucking good, bro. $4.99, that's all the chicken's life's worth.
Wait, really? Five bucks for an entire... That's the Costco motto because they want you to buy more shit and they put the chickens in the back of the store. This chicken lived and died for Zach.
But are you going to say that chicken's not good? I mean, it's fine. It's good chicken, yeah, it's fine. Fantastic fucking chicken.
$4.99, bro. I'm okay with it. It's disturbing. $1.99 to become this.
Yeah, I know, it's disturbing. Somebody grew those jalapenos, maybe the pita, like there's a lot... Oh, there's shipping, there's like shit, there's shipping all over the country, people have to assemble it. You have to grow the chicken, you have to bread it, like so many steps.
They have to assemble it, they have to package it, they have to do all these things, they have to build a whole fucking building and they're selling this shit for $1.99. So that makes sense to me. I'm not in the wrong, though, because I'm paying a little more for the rotisserie, though. Bro, you're paying $5 for like 20 times, like 100 times more chicken.
Yeah, dude, it tastes better. In my opinion. I'm not blaming you. A lot of people love the chicken, I just find the whole thing disturbing.
Okay, fair enough. Zach, how would you feel if you got killed and someone ate you for $5? I mean, you're dead, you're dead, you know? For $5, why don't you want to be worth a little more?
Yeah, but I'm not a fucking chicken. Good point. Cluck, cluck, motherfucker. Those are good.
I could eat more of those. You guys are going to get so sick. Wait, pause the show. We're bringing out spices.
Bring them out. Bring out the spices. We don't have to pause the show for that. All right, let's move on as we eat the spices.
Oh my God, it's like a party back here. Pass out the spices, boys. Yeah, give me the spices. Come on now.
Dreader wants the spices. Yeah, come on. Hey, hey, don't be cheap with me. Don't be stingy.
Yeehaw. Yeehaw. Dan, come on, break your vegan. Fuck it, I'll try it.
Not happening. You love that one? Can you ship it to Sweden like three-day shipping? It'll still be good.
It'll be about as diseased as it is right now. There's no preservatives in there. It's fine. Preservatives, but yes.
You're probably right. Okay, and now we're going to be talking about my boy, my favorite public figure. You know him. You love him.
It's Harvey Weinstein. Oh, I mean, no, not Harvey. It's Ryan Kavanaugh. Wait, is that Ryan?
Or is that Ryan? At this point, I figured you would be able to tell the difference. They don't look so smart. They don't really, though.
Okay, so I think this is Ryan. You're learning. Okay, so that's Ryan Kavanaugh. He's the majority owner of Triller, the company that's suing me, and today I'm happy to announce that we have filed our motion to dismiss.
We have filed our anti-slap. We are coming. We are coming away. And we are about to make another fair use precedent on Matt Haas 2.0, the next boss fight of my career.
I am so excited. You know, before we get into the motion, which Leonard French, who's a copyright attorney on YouTube, I'll say this. Let me just tell you about how beautiful this motion is. Now, this is Leonard French, a copyright attorney.
He did a lot of videos about our previous lawsuit. Listen to what he had to say about this. The first fair use factor. The central purpose of the first fair use factor is to see whether and to what extent the new work is transformative.
A use is transformative when it adds something new, further purpose, different character, altering the copyrighted work with new expression, meaning, or message. The Ninth Circuit has also explained that if the allegedly infringed work is used as raw material, transformed in the creation of new information, new aesthetics, new insights, understandings, this is the very type of activity that the fair use doctrine intends to protect for the enrichment of society. Moreover, the more transformative the work, the less the significance of the other fair use factors, like commercialism, that may weigh against defining a fair use. It is well established that among the best recognized justifications for copying from another's work is to provide comment or criticism of it, and they go on to cite the Matt Haas case, which is just, this is poetry at this point.
Indeed, the Supreme Court concurs in Google. A subsequent work is transformative because it comments on the original or criticizes it. In Campbell vs. Acuff Rose Music, a comment and criticism traditionally have had a claim to fair use protection as transformative works.
For copyright geeks, this is a wet dream. This is a beautifully written motion to dismiss, and I'm as proud of it as I'm allowed to be without sounding condescending because I look up to this. I aspire to this level of clarity in my law practice. The guy loved it.
And by the way, the Hussain Zada is the case, our first fair use lawsuit that made a case law, a precedent. And so we cite it many times in this motion, which as he says, is poetry. Listen to how he talks about this in the beginning. Obviously the motion is very long and legal and stuff.
There's a lot more interesting stuff in the anti-slap, which I'm going to show you guys. And this is all very entertaining, I promise. But just to show you what a beautiful piece of literature of law we've written here. Are we live?
I think we should be going live. I'm green up there, and we now have a live connection here. Hello everyone. Welcome.
Good afternoon. Good evening. Good night. Good morning.
I'm Leonard French, your favorite copyright attorney. But you, you could be forgiven after this story if you want to add a plus one to your favorite copyright attorneys because the Kleins have hired an attorney in California who has filed this epic, absolutely epic motion to dismiss. Really quick, just a quick summary of what we've got. Listen to this.
He loves it. I do, and I saw when I watched this, he goes on to explain that he is actually opposing counsel to your lawyer in a totally unrelated case. And despite that, in a very classy way, says that he's so impressed by this and that your lawyers did an amazing job. Yeah, my lawyers are the greatest.
I love them. This is the same guy who worked on my, Matt Haas. And you know, when I first got sued, I was like, the boys are back. Let's get the team back together.
He's the lawyer who I work closely with who wrote the brief for the last one. I was like, I need, he is so good at this shit. And he has delivered yet again. Wow.
I know that there's a lot to dig in here too, so before we go too deep, we should take our break. Okay, before we go, I want to tease you. Ryan Cavanaugh sent me a DM on fucking Instagram. This is absolutely amazing.
You may have noticed this on the wall behind Ethan. Oh yeah. Other side. He framed his DM to me.
But we'll explain this when we come back guys, if you've been opting out of skincare, I get it. I've pretty much my whole life not done the whole skincare thing. But since I started using Curology and I did the whole thing where I take the survey, I send the picture, I get the dermatology recommended formula. I've got a routine and my skin feels fantastic.
It starts, they sent me three products. They sent me the cleanser, which is super light, doesn't like destroy my skin or take all the oils off and make it feel super dry. And then the second one is the formula that a dermatologist puts together specially for your skin based on the photos and the survey you give them. And then third is the moisturizer.
Bam, I do that every night and my skin feels like exfoliated, it's glowing, it's not oily and I feel like there's certain parts that are really clearing up and just getting healthier. So yeah, that's what Curology is. They customize a prescription formula with three active ingredients to fit for you to help tackle your skincare needs. Whether that may be trying to take control of acne or if acne is no longer your top skin concern.
Fine lines, dark spots, occasional breakouts or clogged pores. You start by answering questions online about your skin and if it's a good fit, Curology will match you with a licensed dermatology provider who will get to know your skin and subject to consultation, you'll get a customized prescription cream to be shipped straight to your flipping door, my dudes. It's awesome. I highly recommend it because going to a dermatologist is a pain in the butt.
It's expensive and you're kind of getting the same level of service here and I really recommend it. I've enjoyed it a lot. You can start your Curology journey just like I did with a free 30-day trial at Curology.com slash H3. If prescribed, just pay $5 for shipping and handling.

We are back. So this is amazing. Ryan is such an insecure douche. And go ahead, you can add that to him and the complaint that I, he defamed me.
He called me an insecure douche, which is basically the level of complaints. Anyway, on July 11th, we didn't ever even see this. And A.B., you alerted me to this. Tell me how you found, how we figured this out.
So occasionally, I'll check the podcast DMs to see if we have any message requests of potential guests or interesting stories, any juice. And I was scrolling through and I saw a message from back in July from Ryan Kavanagh and I sent it to you at 4 a.m. and said, I suggest you check your DM requests as well. So he had emailed us every page of the lawsuit.
I was like, okay. So I went back and checked my personal messages and he also messaged me every page of the lawsuit. And I was like, hmm, I didn't see that at first. I thought it was the same thing but I went up all the way and I was like, holy shit, Ryan sent me a direct message on July 11th.
Listen to this shit. Ethan, I am not sure why you have decided to take it upon yourself and your show to malign, attack, slander, and defame me. I do not know you. I also don't know why you are spending thousands of I-dollars to have thousands of dummy accounts post fake statements about me on my Instagram and tens of thousands to have fake app store reviews of Triller.
Worse yet, you have dedicated and entire show of yours reading your own fake reviews. While amusing and slightly annoying at best, I would advise you stop and mitigate your damage now. Your toy podcast seems fun and all but this is real business with real consequences and you are causing real damage. Clearly, you are a very unhappy and disturbed human to take it upon yourself to attack someone you don't know with false and misleading information especially to spend tens of thousands of dollars on it but it must stop.
You have been warned and I will not be threatened and maligned and stand by idly. Govern yourself accordingly, sir. Ryan Kavanaugh. This dude really thinks he's like a movie supervillain.
He thinks he's Don Corleone. Seriously. Bro, you ain't shit, bro. You're just like a professional banker up there.
I mean, I'm assuming he really thought he would scare me. Yeah, maybe if he had somebody proofread it a little bit. Yeah, maybe if he had all the typos and grammatical errors kind of fixed the window of the sales a little bit. Like, oh yeah, Ryan, that's really good.
It could have been written by Keemstar and I would have not blinked. I love that he thinks that you're spending tens of thousands of dollars to malign him on the app store. and stuff yeah we gotta break this down a little bit let's see and it was used in a book huh let's see he accused me of spending thousands of dollars to post dummy accounts fake statements about me on instagram i'm sorry dude like it was free this i'm not doing anything what are you talking about i mean i have a pot i have i have i'm sorry that sounds to me like slander what fucking proof do you have huh i have hired and by the way self-report you seem to know a lot about hiring and the cost of having fake dummy accounts mr ryan bitch-ass kavanaugh indeed indeed which maybe we'll reveal some more information about that we may have some information about that actually but maybe we have enough to talk about today already so projection and confession i've never hired a single dummy account i am a dummy and i left the reveal so i guess there's one dummy account me yep but i'm sorry people don't like your app those aren't fake savings bro your app sucks it's flipped your own guy said it because you're reading your own fake reviews okay sick weirdo i would never do that it's all flipped and then he says clearly i'm a very unhappy and disturbed human excuse me i don't have two duis and uh i am not being sued by my nanny and i've never lied under oath bitch-ass what's this headline here deadline relativity fabricated memo claiming sexual harassment against former co-president adam fields judge awards 8.4 million what was the name on that edited uh that forged memo who was it last edited by okay yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah uh you have been warned sir a threat and govern yourself according well i did and i said fuck you sue me bitch you're nothing to me except a giant douche trying to censor my free speech you should govern yourself accordingly douche fuck like i'm sorry the guy doesn't know anything this was a comment under leonard french's uh video that i thought was pretty was pretty good um here this was two comments back to back in his in his chat it said h3 and the lawyers just casually reminding the world that they literally set the modern precedent for fair use yeah i think you should do a little fucking research we're trying to bully people douche of all people why would they go after someone who defined copyright law of reaction videos question why did they do it again they probably just didn't know like what they were stepping into they didn't they didn't do their research on you look back then i was broke now i'm fucking rich let's be honest yeah the cost of this lawsuit you literally have fuck you money i'm using it yeah well and even i'm happy to set that precedent so yeah fuck you i mean at this point with the way the trailer is hemorrhaging money i might even be richer than right heaven i definitely will be by the time trailer goes bankrupt so anyway oh there's some other great ones up this is stuff i've been waiting to show and now that everything's filed i can show it look at this now when they first started threatening us and stuff they asked for a million dollars they said that uh we had caused 50 million damages and all this insane shit so we in an act of absolute generosity magnanimously to just make this go away to not have stress to be you know make every fair uh good faith effort to resolve this effort amicably instead of having to waste a judge in court's time we offered him 25 000 not a small amount of money no and so probably like half of his network yeah at this point for sure and so you know i didn't even want to do that but i think we considered with our lawyers and everything we're like this is better we'd be happier for this just to go away you know he was pregnant and there's just a lot of we're like okay of course it sucks but yeah i mean it's easier than doing a lawsuit for me i was always very gung-ho like okay i'm not gonna be silenced this is fair fucking use fuck like i just i'm ready to go dude when it comes to this shit uh but anyway so we offered that and good faith and they countered with they said no we need 900 000 and they needed us to make the following statement you ready they wanted me to say this publicly so i guess i am doing that for them but here it is verbatim we are pleased to announce that we have reached a settlement with triller fight club as a result of us pirating the event triller surprisingly has embedded watermark technology unlike anything we've seen to date we had to pay millions to settle in order to avoid 50 million or more in potential liability we encourage anyone who pirated the event to take triller's amnesty offer very seriously and pay the 50 before what happens to us happens to you triller is incredibly serious about this and we do believe they will find most if not all people who pirated this is so fucking this is one of the craziest things i've ever seen they so like not only 900 000 but they also wanted me to read this hack fucking insane to lie for them so basically lying about how much i paid them yes lying that people are that they're hunting everyone down right um this is insane oh surprising watermark technology shut the fuck up unlike anything you've ever seen before imagine even reading that unironically like just try to imagine even well just go to how in touch they are they didn't know who they were they didn't to be honest oh yeah so this is cav cav coming after me so basically at one point we said you know what uh fuck this it's so nice that we can finally reveal this because i feel like there's a small but significant proportion of the audience that has questioned whether you know you were maybe being a little petty with the way that you were dealing through and everything and now that this is out like people in plain view people can see just like what a fucking douche this guy yeah thank you that's a good point to say because like at first we really tried our best and you remember i was like i'm gonna hold my tongue yeah you were in good faith uh mediation right we want to resolve this and i feel like we made we made a pretty fair offer than 25 000 for doing nothing wrong to just be like all right let's just drop this issue and it's more than fair no thanks yeah but like the statement alone like if they said no payment every the same i would say go fuck yourself right you know what i mean yeah um no the lawyers and ryan uh the lawyers representing ryan have been nothing but uh just unprofessional belligerent and uh absolutely uh unworkable you know what i mean it's math 2.0 it really is to count like the counter offer with 900 000 like you know this would have been douchey but if they come back and said like no we want 100 000 you know four times what you offered or whatever yeah i wouldn't i wouldn't pay them that much right but like but like at least like be realistic yeah it's like within the realm of possibility maybe that like you you lowball at first they highball and then you work something out but like a million dollars almost they want coupled with a statement that i could never i could never utter yeah thriller surprisingly has embedded in watermark technology unlike anything we've ever seen yeah don't worry i'm not sure anyone's even concerned about bootlegging your shit events uh it's all flipped oh man yeah fuck you thriller so this has been filed the anti-slap is filed and here i want to show some of my favorite moments from the anti-slap now anti-slap is so the motion dismiss is basically for the copper infringement all that shit but they sued me twice i don't know if you know this for tortoise interference which is some really dumb shit they're saying that we caused them to interfere with their business with fake reviews which excuse me dude i'd like to see some evidence for that and in california they have a law the anti-slap it stands for um strategic lawsuit against public participation so if there's um if there's public interest involved if and generally these lawsuits are to chill people from talking about them then the anti-slap can be used to strike down the lawsuit and also force ryan to pay for our legal fees straight up so yeah the anti-slaps here to read it uh specifically is intended to prevent people from using courts and potential threats of a lawsuit to intimidate people who are exercising the first amendment rights literally me thank you california so we're using the anti-slap to address the interference one here's the intro to the anti-slap here free speech for me but not for thee this is the theme relentlessly campaigned by plaintiff triller and its majority owner ryan kavanaugh to harass punish and silence defendants for exercising the first amendment rights triller and kavanaugh have repeatedly abused the judicial system to silence commentary and criticism made about them on the podcast this assault on defendants lawful criticism began by triller kavanaugh causing triller subsisted subsidiary subsidiary triller fight club two to sue defendants for copyright infringement for the use of a short clip of jay paul versus ben askrin for commentary and criticism triller and kavanaugh are now suing defendants for the lawful speech criticizing the copyright action triller and kavanaugh so let me read that's the intro let me read you some juicy morsels in here any of the morsels oh is the same it is the same link okay here's a section uh there's a section in uh motions for statement of facts so here's the statement of facts for ryan kavanaugh the public figure statement of facts kavanaugh is the majority owner of triller kavanaugh was the former ceo of relativity media at relativity this is old version so if you see that it's not cited and stuff then that's why but in the final version there's all uh more citations there's all cited and stuff gotcha yeah comes the majority of trailer kavanaugh was the former ceo of relativity media at relativity kavanaugh drove the company into bankruptcy twice statement of fact by the second bankruptcy relativity had approximately 30 million dollars in assets and nearly 600 million dollars of liabilities i'm not i mean i'm more of a uh more of an asset guy listen yeah i mean i'm not like a big-time entrepreneur but i know that's that's not good despite relativity relativity's insolvency kavanaugh made relativity pay him a two and a half million dollar consulting fee sketchy and margaretian the honorable terry friedman found that kavanaugh fabricated a memo alleging sexual harassment against the former president of relativity adam fields statement of fact in the same arbitration kavanaugh falsely testified under oath that the memo was authored by former in-house counsel at relativity in retaliation for exposing his false testimony kavanaugh sued mr fields damn that's all statement of fact huh kavanaugh has been embroiled in several other public controversies for example kavanaugh's nanny was forced to sue kavanaugh because he refused to pay her facts um and an executed verified complaint drafted by this lawyer uh and covered by the press kavanaugh's former business partner elon spar accused kavanaugh's new business venture of proxima media being a ponzi scheme where have i heard about that before this was written by variety oh right gene mattis in variety magazine the trade paper the industry trade paper very reputable right statement of fact kavanaugh also received two arrests and conviction for driving under the influence facts kavanaugh's controversies has resulted in being shunned by hollywood the ceo of solstice media described kavanaugh best each time someone lies at cans ryan kavanaugh gets a royalty that's true that's quite the burn i gotta say those are all that's just a background there a little background on ryan uh here is some of the this is like the defamation stuff all right so here is their first claim of defamation they say i apparently i said trailer is and mr kavanaugh runs a ponzi scheme which of course i never said obviously so we said this statement failed i said he i mean i never said he runs a ponzi i mean variety wrote an article about it uh yeah the trailer is uh this statement fails to meet the first amendment requirement for defamation foremost this statement was never said in the podcast rather examining each of the podcast as a whole it is apparent that the podcast accurately discussed the situation mr spar made in his 2019 verified complaint against kavanaugh and proxima media therefore cannot show that this statement was ever made let alone that it was even false right um this is a great one this is defamation apparently triller falsely presented that comedian kevin hart uses the app that's defamation listen to this this statement is true because when the podcast aired triller's description for the app stated that millions have made triller videos alongside huge global stars such as kevin hart despite kevin hart having no presence on the app indeed triller effectively concedes this point by removing mr hart's name from the triller's app description after filing this lawsuit therefore this statement is not actionable oh so awkward just search kevin hart on triller and prove me wrong oh this is probably the most damn oh my god this is the one we're most worried about me and my attorneys were we we had a lot of deep conversations about how we're gonna fight this one of course the most damning evidence the app is flipped defamatory statement this statement was originally made by mr beck a prominent social media personality as he was creating a video using the triller app client uh in the video mr beck stated yo triller my thing is flipped yo triller my thing's flipped because he was experiencing issues with the triller's app camera function therefore insofar as the statement contains an assertion of facts it is true and not actionable trailer your thing is white clearly flipped oh it's all flipped this one is tough too i don't know how we're gonna beat this one mr cavanaugh bears a physical resemblance to harvey weinstein defamatory to have an opinion on someone's opinion here if beauty is in the eye of the beholder the same holds true for the lack thereof now uh you know basically what's his complaint that harvey weinstein's ugly and that he thinks he's beautiful you know like what's defamatory like what's the complaint what's wrong with how harvey weinstein looks you fat shaming you know it's his friend right why are you talking about his friend like that come on but they should be happy to be compared physically to him this statement constitutes non-actual opinion was expressed the subjective perception that cavanaugh looks like weinstein in which some h3 podcast members agree and some disagree it's very true i disagree strongly part of this statement is of concerning cavanaugh and not trailer not actionable i happen to think he looks just like harvey weinstein but dan to this day still i don't see it i don't see it even a little bit i literally can't even tell the difference like is that ryan we went over this earlier in the episode i thought we i thought we made this clear it's just so confusing i can't just look at the shirt color that's how i remember show me uh ian so this is ryan in the black shirt uh uh no no the blue shirt wait yeah the blue shirt i look at both photos the one in the other corner where he's wearing blue that's how i figure it out oh you do you have to do a map like okay so here Ryan, everything outfit. Exactly, that's the ultimate guy.
That's pretty smart. It's not uncanny. It's a pretty smart way to decode that. I can't tell the difference to be honest.
It's called prosopagonosia, by the way. I think you might have that, where people with a disorder where face blindness, you can't... Oh, you think I'm face blind? If you think they look similar.
It looks similar. How are you going to keep me being face blind, bro? Everyone on the crew says they see the resemblance. You might be the one that's face blind.
No, I think prosopagonosia might be contagious. Oh. Yeah, I think you might give it to everybody. I'm immune, personally.
All right. Did you see it? And then his final claim is that Mr. Kavanaugh is suing the defendants.
He goes, I'm not suing the defendants. It's Triller, the company that I own the majority of. This statement is substantially true. Triller's counsel told defendants that Kavanaugh was behind the lawsuit, one.
Further illustrating... Wait, wait, wait. Let me get this right. He's suing you for defamation for saying that he's suing you?
Yes. His argument is that I'm not suing you. Triller, the company that I own, is suing you. That's defamation.
Jesus. Yeah, it's embarrassing that they even wrote this. So is that one... So is the defamation lawsuit him personally suing you?
Yes. Okay, so Triller and Kavanaugh. So he is suing you. But only after you said that he was suing you.
Okay, got it. Throw the bug at him, boys. Triller's counsel told us that Kavanaugh was behind the copyright action. That's how we even learned about him.
They were trying to scare us. Like, Ryan Kavanaugh's behind the... You don't want to fuck with this guy. Oops.
And I was like, who the fuck is this guy? You got better lawyers, Ryan. And then further illustrating Kavanaugh's involvement are the first amended complaint, numerous mentions of allegations of false misleading malicious statements concerning Kavanaugh. Wow, why do you care?
And not Triller. Interesting. Triller's counsel sending Kavanaugh's retraction letter and that Kavanaugh's majority owner of Triller and his subsidiaries. Thank you.
Further, this statement is of concern Kavanaugh and not Triller. Finally, even assuming arguing that this statement is false, Triller cannot prove actual malice because Triller led the defense to believe Kavanaugh was behind the copyright action and impersonation action. Anyway, it's all up there and it's been a lot of fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the opportunity to prove fair use again in court.
And we have immortalized your absolutely terrifying message. A little obscured. Absolutely shaking in my boots. Govern yourself accordingly, sir.
And our toy podcast. I was just about to point that part out. How dare you, sir? This is not a toy.
