Summary
tw: suicide
As part of a series of interviews with Gabe’s fellow anti-ICE activists on the ground in LA, we’re joined by Eddy.Mp4, one of the first people that Gabe met downtown this summer. Gabe first saw Eddy in a green Luigi cap telling National Guardsman that hurting American citizens would give them lasting mental health issues. That compassion led Gabe to reach out and the rest is history. Eddy talks to us about going from a regular gay guy to some kind of human rights activist, wild stories he’s experienced that haven’t made the news, and what we both hope everyone can do to wake up and get involved.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to A Thousand Natural Shocks, A Bad With Money podcast. |
| 0:04.7 | I'm your host, Gabe Dunn. |
| 0:05.9 | And I have an interview today that I am really excited about because when I started working on anti-ice activism and just basically, I don't even want to say started because I went downtown is what happened to the Metropolitan Detention Center |
| 0:22.2 | because I had a feeling that this wasn't right. |
| 0:25.0 | I had been down there a few times, but I saw this person on July 4th who was wearing a |
| 0:31.6 | Luigi hat like from Mario. |
| 0:33.8 | And I just felt like I had seen like a kindred spirit. |
| 0:37.6 | And I would say this person has been emblematic of the work being done in Los Angeles, very motivated and driven. |
| 0:46.2 | If you're following anything that's going on in Los Angeles, you've seen Eddie because he, again, wears the Luigi hat. |
| 0:53.2 | But he's just very smart and he's done a lot of really smart work, |
| 0:57.4 | especially gathering, you know, a team, I would say like a heist-level team |
| 1:01.9 | of people of different skills and different knowledge bases. |
| 1:06.6 | All of us are from different backgrounds. |
| 1:08.9 | And so I'm delighted to start interviewing a few people from this group. |
| 1:12.5 | Eddie being the first one makes complete sense. |
| 1:15.8 | And if you have been following eddy.mp4 this whole time, this is who that is. |
| 1:21.8 | He's doing all of this work unpaid. |
| 1:24.7 | It's like become his full-time job. |
| 1:26.6 | And if you want to go to his Instagram and support |
| 1:28.5 | him, I really think you should. So on with beginning to interview my fellow activists on the |
| 1:33.8 | ground in L.A. And this is Eddie MP4. Enjoy. |
| 1:38.3 | You got told a lot of lies about achievements. They called you when they got you to believe it. |
