0:00 see well I'm not an alcoholic you know I just well I don't even know what the alcohol world is like but every time I go to 7-Eleven guess what it's not the guy's cutting grass that's buying them it's the what who is it homeless peoples [Music] Anthony did you know there is no actual whiskey and bottles of fire the small ones yeah I do know that yeah really it's just malt liquor and whiskey flavor wait so if it's bigger if it's bigger it's fine they have the real deal the smaller these bottles say Fireball Cinnamon whiskey oh the small ones say Fireball Cinnamon oh and then the small ones the ones the

0:50 homeless people get so they're not doing anything illegal technically wow consumers are suing Sazerac Company Incorporated the makers of Fireball whiskey for fraud and misrepresentation as the as this has been uncovered some people don't want Malt Liquor you know they want some well it's kind of like how it's kind of like how like you know a truly has malt and not like I guess actual vodka or whatever and there's some that have actual vodka but not those specific Brands they use The Malt trick so people are arguing that they're intentionally misled yes exactly wow and so um and they're sold everywhere right 170 000 stores so um people are basically saying this is like a widespread fraud case what the label means to say is that the product contains natural whiskey flavors and other flavors but by not including

1:41 the word flavors after natural whiskey purchasers look closely will expect the distilled Spirit of whiskey was added as a separate ingredient that's true because other products non-alcoholic have to say flavoring right so that they're not following the same stipulation that goes for like just cereal the lawsuit further states that getting the lack of whiskey 99 Cents for 1.7 fluid ounces is overpriced whoa this kind of yeah I mean hey they got away with it for a long time huh probably ████ ████ for Malt Liquor can't you get like something like this for two bucks yeah dude it's funny because when you're when you're already beyond the fine amount cares like you know what I mean like they've made enough money that all you got us we'll pay the penalty yeah and now we'll have to change the wording big Pharma companies like all the like

2:32 settlements that they have and it's a lot but then they're like we'll just keep paying it because we make way more yeah dude we got to mislead our customers 170 000 stores these are sold in so that's exactly right that's a lot of liquor stores 7-Elevens too they'll be fine gas stations groceries everyone's gonna forget about this ████ too I never thought that especially alcoholics people I also thought that homeless people were the only ones that bought the mini I keep saying that Hunter lion I've never seen normal people buy them either I thought who's buying them the the normal ones uh those are the small ones and duty free because those you don't have to uh keep in a bag and not drink but do you go to a gas station and get a little baby one no right like if you're gonna drink with your friends you buy the big bottle I thought those were for like the hotel minibars yeah oh

3:23 the hotel you can't bring duty-free on the plane anymore and drink it you can bring it no the little ones you're allowed to you can yeah that's why in airports you're allowed to buy those yeah they don't put them in the bags that are sealed that have to stay sealed see well I'm not an alcoholic you know I just well I don't even know what the alcohol world is like but every time I go to 7-Eleven guess what it's not the guy's cutting grass that's buying them it's the what who is it homeless peoples yeah his butt crack yup it's either that or they're buying a big old thing of malt liquor like this big more people usually get nope normal people don't get none of that ████ they get Budweiser they get Heineken they get Corona and

4:14 then they usually get the six pack or you see them with wine or like a bigger bottle what could you guys get the little ones then homeless truth imagine We're Cops and we arrested Joe we could just put them away in like ████ 30 seconds of testimony nah I'll never rat on myself I'm a good eyewitness though because I'm not gonna PC around who the ████ was there oh you you mean like they've like how would you PC around it because nowadays everyone's so like they don't even want to give you a description of the ████ a sailor right or the ████ accused or whatever they'll just be like the cop would be like who was the guy that was robbing the store um it was uh how do I describe it I don't want to assume the gender but they're about like six feet tall and

5:05 what were they wearing um I don't want to judge the their fashion or their culture but I think like it was about maybe a pullover sweater like don't say don't be a silver sweater yeah it's like what the ████ don't be descriptive about that I would just be like that that was a five foot Asian dude he had a tank top on a tattoo right in between his ████ eye and he looked ugly as ████ yeah and I think he's homeless yeah that's not normal yeah mini fireball bottles in his hands apple was homeless as ████ I think lucky you should probably go back to China Joe so honestly think he tells you where they should go Jail's not good enough for him but when the cop is sketching it I guarantee you my description is going to be way more closer he's like oh can you describe again ugly as ████ yeah make him uglier yeah

5:57 it's not him give him big ass nose all right ears um yeah make it like small as ████ all right that's perfect like no no more Jewish more Jewish more Jewish in the eyebrows oh that's a Vietnamese nose give it a Jew nose Juno's yeah I think that's gonna be that's what people need to do because nowadays they're like they're trying to be so ████ polite that they're not even polite to the victim anymore whoever got assaulted they're like oh ████ it let's just show all that ████ but then they blur the face of the person who's like commend the crime they're like you don't actually blow them on sometimes so many stories it's like the the religiousness of the victim or whatever they're like immediately forgiving these ████ who's like maiming them and killing their families and ████ they're like oh you know I'm praying for this person I forgot and I'm like what

6:47 the ████ is there no Vengeance in people's hearts anymore like they get they get ████ up and they don't press charges because they're like like the person's going away because they don't even know if you it's like you murder somebody I don't think you can oh I'm not gonna press start it's not gonna be a civil suit it'd be the State against you but um they do that thing where they go meet with them and like forgive them and ████ yeah it's happening I see it more and more very hyper Christian that's so Christian very religious uh Norman has a really good bit on like describing to the cops like who did what and he says some ████ like um all right yeah there's you know this this car hit a person and it was an Asian driver not that they're bad at driving and he had a black guy who's crossing the street very slowly not that they do that and it's super long like that's a great way of putting it yeah at least he has the balls to label

7:39 what he sees not these other ████ zoom in on the delivery of that life please Jesus Christ what was the last time you had to be a witness for like a a crime he doesn't rat on anyone I don't ████ rap bro but I'll tell you this there was a a homeless man in front of my store scaring the ████ out of one of my employees right she came out just by not having a deed to a house at his body what do you mean you're not a homeowner she was ████ squeegee and those and this ████ started getting in in a fight with the air dude yeah started punching the ████ National and ah she ran back inside I was like what's what what the hell happened because there's a man that's fighting and I'm like oh ████ who the ████ up because just the air like he was

8:29 punching the air ████ yelling scaring children and ████ did he have really small ears and a really big Jewish nose nah he was a tall guy white man all right and I know that he's a man because he looked like one and he had a tank top on yeah ████ rainbow Crocs on he had ████ like a Hurley type of board shorts that went past his kneecaps and he was about six feet tall all right and he's been in the Sun so long and you know when white dudes getting the Sun so long they turn like lobster red it was like that and it was a bit rip reptilian because of his skin was very very dry very dry even though we're in a humid place it was dry as ████ all right and then this will smell like alcohol he was fighting so when I went out there I was like what the ████ is going on and obviously everybody was scared they ran

9:21 around they didn't want this guy to be around so I called the security and I was like this is what he looks like and then he goes all right we're gonna have a security guard come in the what does he look like hmm oh the security guard describe him too I'm not saying the same ████ over again he comes this ████ security guard was like Herbert from Family Guy oh like the old dude oh yeah yeah yeah dude the pedo dude yeah yeah the old man this guy looks like if you get like a leaf and go like this it'll blow him down he's such a old Hunchback slow ████ he starts walking his way over and it's me and him just watching this homeless dude and I'm looking over like this guy's gonna ████ your ass up yeah and then so we just follow him out until

10:11 he leaves the whole premise did he tell him like Hey you can't be here or no he just watches them what if he's like Mike from Better Call Saul though well Security Guys afterwards I was like why you know why don't you guys engage and it's because sometimes you cause more problems by confronting them so as long as there's more problems than confronting so it's like so like it just let him like burn their ████ out and then they'll leave in most cases and then they only intervene when they're actually posing a threat to somebody there so I'm like dude but this was trying to like box the air ████ leaves whatever it is and I'm like he's trying to conjure up some spirits and he came back again so I had to do the same thing what do you look like that time yeah the second time he came back he had the same clothes rainbow Crocs Hurley kind of board shorts below past his

11:02 knees past his knees get a tank top skin this time was more Brown I think it calmed down from the time earlier it was more tan though yeah but this is different person he wasn't punching the air what was he doing so there was a family that was walking by my store and when he came by he tried to pick a fight with a dude he was a ████ ████ like something like that with like the dad or something yeah yeah and then uh the funniest thing is so it was he's white right and then the guy that's with the family he's also white so he passed by him and he goes I'm a local I've been here for six months and that's what he told the guy what is it how long do you think you have to be to be alone I don't know maybe six months but maybe that's when you felt entitled like he's a local he was telling I'm a ████ local get the ████ out of here what did the dad do they were just shocked because they're like what the ████ yeah what was the dad wearing

11:53 I don't know he wasn't the Vic he was the victim so I'm gonna protect the victim's identity would you say he's a Survivor and what does it mean to be a survive he got yelled at so I I not told him hey don't worry this guy just crazy and then I was like I was just standing there watching him while I was on the phone he's back he's back tell him to go was this a Monterey Park Hawaii did this did this article go where you were hoping it would yeah it did to script everyone did their lines too I don't know [Music]
