I mean my brother might be one of the most Notorious not a notorious the wrong word because he like kind of hides in the shadows, but he's done so my brother Cloned a well, I can't remember which website he cloned a website Right the actually the yes men recently did this low-hanging post Copied perfectly and he wrote an article about how a new strain of marijuana was discovered cannabis, Australia's He said that he was the Dean at the University of Sydney or something like that who was dating pop star Megan trainer Just the most ridiculous thing and that he said we need to find a female plant so far. This is what we have It's groundbreaking. It's come it so so he did this very clever thing He bought a domain name that was something like com Dash guest info that's the URL.

My brother's like my opposite, you know, I try to be honest to the best of my ability I mean you can you know, I think you know people accuse me of being a liar. That's not fair I could be wrong for sure, but I try my best to be rational. My brother on the other hand is like editing videos making them ridiculous as possible. He made another video where And it's crazy because he tries to make sure people it's over the top he made a video where it's a van getting pulled over it looks like a police dash cam and Then the cop walks up to the car Checks the guy's license walks back and then the driver releases pot on a balloon and then an air points to it saying stash Like he's disposing of his drugs with helium balloons So they fly away and then the cop runs up firing guns at it. This thing got hundreds of millions of views It was on Facebook every other day It's it was like he made it four years ago or something and I saw it on Instagram Like two weeks ago and I was like dude and I showed him people think it's real Like it's the craziest, but he you know, yeah, I don't know so there's so much fucked up stuff that is real It's so hard to differentiate, but I mean hold on like let's let's throw some shade at high times like when they did this You they said they when they corrected the article and saying it was a hoax They said we wanted to call for a verification, but we thought the story was too hot to pass up
