00:00:00.000 They were having like this chambers discussion about a deputy sheriff who was being charged
00:00:04.600 and investigated for having inappropriate, you know what I'm talking about with a minor.
00:00:12.260 Okay, so a lot of flack that I get on this show is some of the topics that I talk about.
00:00:17.660 I am told that these topics are just in the city.
00:00:23.200 Pearl, you're not talking to real people.
00:00:26.820 That doesn't, not all women are like that.
00:00:29.300 The women in the country are just so super special and different.
00:00:33.900 And, you know, I hear you guys.
00:00:36.240 I do think that a lot of women in the city are more open about what they can and cannot get away with than maybe in the country.
00:00:45.480 But I'll see TikToks and Instagram reels that just prove that women are women no matter where we go.
00:00:55.120 So it's like they find a pastor cheating on his wife and they're like, well, pastors are pastors.
00:01:05.320 So we got this lady here.
00:01:07.080 Let's see what she has to say.
00:01:09.080 Very insane.
00:01:09.840 Small town drama.
00:01:10.820 Okay, perfect.
00:01:11.240 Gorgeous.
00:01:11.800 In Whitesburg, Kentucky, a population of like 1,500 people.
00:01:15.220 They're in the center of a scandal because a Kentucky judge named Kevin Mullins last year was shot and killed execution style in his job.
00:01:25.120 Oh my gosh.
00:01:26.120 Chambers in full view of surveillance footage.
00:01:28.600 There is footage.
00:01:29.740 Like you can literally clearly see these people talking by his very close friend, his best friend, the sheriff named Sean Steins.
00:01:37.280 Because after this murder happens, okay, Sean, the former sheriff now is arrested, charged with first degree murder.
00:01:43.640 He pleads not guilty, despite the fact that literally on camera, execution style.
00:01:47.640 It comes to light through pouring through this footage and the audio, obviously, of the judge's chambers.
00:01:53.280 Judge was full on extorting women in his chambers to basically do things for him in exchange for lesser sentences or probation or leniency, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:02:04.680 He would throw these massive Epstein-level parties for a small town.
00:02:10.540 And apparently when they're interviewing people, like one of the people who works at the jail, all of that, they're like, oh yeah, everyone knows about those parties.
00:02:18.280 Everyone's just a swinger here in Kentucky, in Whitesburg, Kentucky.
00:02:23.120 It's just like, everyone's just like, no.
00:02:24.560 It's like, you just say no if you don't want to go.
00:02:26.560 What?
00:02:27.200 Not to mention there was a...
00:02:28.680 So, this small town in the middle of nowhere, women are throwing it back for lighter sentences.
00:02:34.280 It's like, I can't make this stuff up.
00:02:37.240 I can't.
00:02:39.060 How am I?
00:02:40.300 How am I supposed to ignore the fact that in small towns they do crazy stuff too?
00:02:46.420 It's just women are women.
00:02:48.140 Men are men.
00:02:48.920 Women are always going to, like, sleep their way to get away with stuff.
00:02:53.240 And men are usually going to take it.
00:02:55.000 There's a different sheriff in the town who, at the time, apparently there was a meeting happening right before this judge, okay, got execution-style murdered.
00:03:03.800 There was, they were having, like, this chamber's discussion about a deputy sheriff who was being charged and investigated for having inappropriate, you know what I'm talking about with a minor.
00:03:14.140 But you mean the people who got all-season high school and couldn't even make it in the military, used their power and position and qualified immunity to victimize people?
00:03:18.480 I am shocked.
00:03:19.080 Well, obviously, the sheriff who murdered the judge is pleading not guilty.
00:03:23.640 We don't know what their defense is.
00:03:25.500 Obviously, we won't know until the trial.
00:03:27.700 But I'm interested to hear, like, obviously, we want to assume, oh, like, maybe that he has, like, you know, he's the hero of the day.
00:03:35.480 Getting the bad guy, like, that was what was in his head.
00:03:38.760 But hard to believe that he wasn't aware of this the entire time he was sheriff.
00:03:43.320 So, wild.
00:03:45.440 You want to hear something even more ironic?
00:03:47.480 The county is called Letcher County.
00:03:50.700 Do you know what the word Letcher means?
00:03:52.280 Like, come on.
00:03:53.740 What is-
00:03:54.140 Yeah, and, um, I'm not surprised.
00:03:57.780 Women-
00:03:58.520 As most of you know, I have been fighting on the front lines of the simp epidemic for years.
00:04:03.760 But I need to tell you about a quiet weapon being ratcheted up against men that is rarely talked about.
00:04:09.020 It's not just the relentless anti-masculinity propaganda and OnlyFans hoes causing the societal issues that we discuss on this show.
00:04:16.260 Did you know that the average city's tap water contains trace pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors?
00:04:22.360 This often includes estrogen from birth control.
00:04:25.020 The average adult consumes a credit card worth of plastic every single week.
00:04:28.900 That's five grams of plastic a week on average.
00:04:31.480 So, it's no wonder that the average male's testosterone is half of what the average was 50 years ago.
00:04:37.980 Testosterone levels decline 1% a year, and without a course correction, we are headed towards extinction.

00:05:39.140 Exchanging sex to get away with things.
00:05:41.220 So, next we have a lawyer explaining why divorce rates of NHL players are 70%.
00:05:48.940 So, many women say that they want the tall guy, the athletic guy, the guy that has it all.
00:05:54.960 And on paper, you would think NHL players are really, you know, they're the chads that a lot of women are picking.
00:06:01.640 But even they get divorced.
00:06:03.220 So, don't take it personal, fellas.
00:06:04.900 It just, you know, it kind of is what it is.
00:06:07.000 Take a room and have the room for a moment, regardless of what sport it is.
00:06:12.440 What advice are you giving these guys?
00:06:13.800 So, I've actually done this.
00:06:14.860 I've had the opportunity to do this.
00:06:16.320 And the one thing I tell people right off the bat, because every professional athlete tends to be pretty excited about their girlfriend, the wag, you know, whatever she may be.
00:06:26.720 Or he may be, whatever the case may be.
00:06:29.500 Obviously, there's a lot of female professional athletes as well.
00:06:32.380 You got to know the divorce statistics.
00:06:34.960 And the fact of the matter is the national divorce statistics for regular people, Joe's off the street, is just under 50%.
00:06:42.900 I think it's actually about 47% for first-time marriages.
00:06:47.000 For professional athletes, for a lot of reasons, that number is way higher.
00:06:51.260 It's closer to about 70%.
00:06:53.400 And of that 70%, so you're batting about 50% higher than the general public.
00:06:59.360 50% of those divorces will come within one year of your retirement from your sport.
00:07:04.740 And that is a stunning number.
00:07:06.220 And so, you know, a lot of these athletes have beat the odds to become pros, and a lot of them think that because they've done that, they're going to beat this statistic as well.
00:07:15.280 But as you know, you can't beat statistics, and statistics are independent of one another.
00:07:19.820 And so just because you beat the odds to become a pro athlete doesn't mean you're going to beat the odds of things like bankruptcy and divorce.
00:07:27.340 You've got to recognize those numbers.
00:07:29.620 That's the false dichotomy that a lot of men make when we talk about these divorce stats.
00:07:34.620 They act like you can avoid it just because you're successful in other areas of your life, and it's just simply not true.
00:07:44.080 It's kind of a cope for men that are kind of scared of their wives.
00:07:46.860 That's what I've noticed.
00:07:47.680 It's men that are still in the good parts of their marriage, like they're still having kids.
00:07:52.220 It's not until after the kids are done that the women really tend to become terrible people.
00:07:58.440 And usually, it's like more of a reversion, right?
00:08:05.060 It's usually women reverting back to their hardware programming.
00:08:09.480 Because what happens is women, you know, not all women, but there's good women and bad women.
00:08:16.900 But women, it's like, I remember in school there was a girl I played volleyball with, and she was so mean to everyone on the court.
00:08:24.460 She was so bitchy and just rude, and then, you know what would happen?
00:08:31.580 Her boyfriend would come around, and I'd be like, that is a different person.
00:08:35.640 So, women can put on a mask for other people and take it off when they get what they want.
00:08:44.220 But now, you're not even seeing women want to give men the courtesy of the mask anymore.
00:08:48.980 That's the crazy thing.
00:08:50.560 Now, they're just being who they are.
00:08:52.000 They were being terrible people in public.
00:08:53.520 And you've got to plan for them.
00:08:55.540 Because otherwise, you're in to take a pretty brutal financial hit.
00:09:00.160 Okay, well, let's talk about why that percentage is so much higher and why it happens inside of that first year.
00:09:05.040 I'm sure you have some ideas on why that is.
00:09:07.640 I mean, your lifestyle obviously changes quite a bit from the time you were playing to the time you retire.
00:09:13.140 Now, when you're playing, you're a high-income earner.
00:09:16.000 You're separated from your family all throughout the season.
00:09:19.580 You may be home for a few days, but then you're off for pretty long periods.
00:09:23.540 And so, you don't have a traditional family structure where you're sort of seeing your family every night and then leaving in the morning.
00:09:29.320 It's just not how it is.
00:09:30.960 And then in the off-season, it tends to be very sort of perfect, right?
00:09:35.220 Because you're trying to get as much as you can in during that off-season.
00:09:39.000 You're going on tremendous vacations.
00:09:41.040 You're doing everything you can with the kids.
00:09:44.580 It's just an amazing opportunity.
00:09:46.600 But that's not real life.
00:09:48.000 And that's not the real life that most people live.
00:09:49.960 Once you retire, you go back to being, for most people, sort of a normal person living a normal life.
00:09:56.700 But that's not the relationship you built while you were playing.
00:10:00.140 Yeah, and I think a lot of women think they like the guy until they actually get to know him when he comes home.
00:10:06.760 That's how many divorces – that's why there were so many divorces after COVID.
00:10:09.620 I mean, they think they like the guy, and then they get to know him, and they realize they can't like anybody.
00:10:19.340 And we have a hard time liking each other.
00:10:21.520 Don't take it personal, fellas.
00:10:22.840 It's not you.
00:10:23.520 It's us.
00:10:24.040 Playing.
00:10:24.800 And so for a lot of people, I think that's a really, really tough transition, whether for the athlete who may be experiencing things like depression from not being able to play anymore
00:10:33.820 and missing their teammates in the locker room and really having to deal with this new lifestyle,
00:10:38.560 to the spouse who now all of a sudden has got you around all the time.
00:10:43.180 And that just wasn't the deal while you were playing.
00:10:46.100 And I think that sort of sets the table for a situation where divorce is really prevalent.
00:10:51.280 I've always made the joke about these legends tours that a lot of these retired players go on is more so to be like the wife is going,
00:10:57.200 get out.
00:10:57.900 I'm not used to this, right?
00:10:58.840 Rather than a whole, I miss playing hockey.
00:11:01.080 It's more so to kind of keep that structure intact.
00:11:04.840 Yeah.
00:11:05.020 I honestly don't even know if living together is great for couples.
00:11:09.320 I mean, couples just always end up hating each other when we live together.
00:11:13.320 I mean, a lot of these guys, if you've made enough money, don't have to work.
00:11:17.080 And I find that some of them, the plan is just, hey, I'm going to play golf all the time.
00:11:21.180 But that plan crumbles after a while pretty quickly because you don't want to play golf all the time.
00:11:26.240 And you just don't have that outlet and you don't have that passion like you did for the sport that you've played since you were two years old.
00:11:32.920 And it's really hard mentally for guys.
00:11:35.120 Is it to some degree, like the woman that you married sees you now post-retirement, all the success, all the accomplishments,
00:11:42.180 that's why she wanted to be with you in the first place because she wanted the best.
00:11:44.940 And the clout that came with me and that guy's wife.
00:11:47.840 A lot of athletes, they just become regular people when they're done.
00:11:50.820 A lot of athletes, they just become regular people when they're done.
