| 0:00.0 | Happy April Fool's Day, aka the day 70% of the population says an unfunny lie and then they're like, I'm kidding. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm a little bit of a jokester myself. |
| 0:10.0 | No, you're not. Greg, and honestly I wouldn't be a friend if our wives weren't friends. |
| 0:13.0 | Also, no one says Chalax anymore, nor should anyone have ever. |
| 0:17.0 | Anyway, welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. It is Thursday, April 1st, 2021. Subscribe to the channel. Hit that like button, let's just jump into it. And actually, for the first story today, while we're on the note of bad jokes and pranks, we need to talk about the TikTokers slash YouTubers, Alan and Alex Stokes, known as the Stoke twins, because they are back in the news. And this, because it appears that they have finally been handed consequences for a fake robbery prank that they filmed back in 2019. And if you're like, |
| 0:40.7 | why are you saying consequences? They'd actually been facing a maximum of five years in jail |
| 0:45.7 | if convicted for a video that they put out, but the punishment was far less. But we'll get to |
| 0:50.0 | that in a second. As far as the video in question, if you don't remember, the brothers filmed this prank video over the course of three days that involved them running around the Irvine |
| 0:56.7 | California area acting as if they had just robbed a bank. You see them dressed in all black, |
| 1:00.4 | wearing a ski mask, lugging around duffel bags, spilling cash everywhere. At one point, as you might |
| 1:04.3 | remember, they call an Uber as a getaway car, but the driver becomes uncomfortable, he kicks them out. That incident reportedly problems a bystander to call 911, thinking they're actually seeing bank robbers attempting a carjacking. |
| 1:13.6 | Things then continue to escalate from there. |
| 1:15.6 | Actually, it results in the police ordering the Uber driver out of his car at gunpoint. |
| 1:19.6 | The police go on to give the boys a stern warning, but then still just four hours later, |
| 1:23.6 | the twins continue to film their prank at a nearby university. That said, the reason we're talking about it today is the twins have actually pleaded guilty |
| 1:29.9 | to false imprisonment and two counts of falsely reporting an emergency. |
| 1:33.3 | And as it turns out, in exchange for that guilty plea, an Orange County judge reduced their |
| 1:37.1 | original felony false imprisonment charges to a misdemeanor. |
| 1:40.2 | So instead of getting any jail time, remember there was a maximum of five years that they were facing. They were instead sentenced to 160 hours of community service ordered to serve one year of formal probation and required to pay an unspecified amount of restitution. |
| 1:52.0 | But the brothers also reportedly agreeing to stay away from UC Irvine where part of the prank was carried out and they agreed to, quote, stop making videos that mimic criminal behavior. |
| 2:00.0 | See you know, consequences, though, not the same consequences if they were Joe Blow, |
| 2:04.3 | but the consequences because they are young, dumb, famous, and rich. |
