Hey everyone. Welcome to shaken and disturbed. I'm Darren Karp,

0:10.8

Mother God here. Excuse me, Father God, here with Mother God. You do that every week. I do it every

0:16.1

week. But here's why this week is okay that I make this excuse because literally John and I just found breaking news by Sunday.

0:23.6

I'm sure we're going to know a lot more, but we're just breaking news that little pain from one direction.

0:28.5

31-year-old was found dead in Buenos Aires after a fall jump.

0:34.6

We don't know something on a wooden terrace at his hotel from three floors up.

0:41.4

And so John just got this breaking news report. We were kind of reacting to it. Obviously,

0:45.4

super sad, just regardless of what happened, people are going to make their speculations. There's a lot of stuff around about his ex-fiance,

0:52.1

things that it was into erotic behavior. I'm not comfortable

So it's a little

1:44.9

suss, to be honest right now, but I, I'm just completely shocked. I, I, we, and unfortunately,

1:52.0

in today's episode, by complete coincidence is about another celebrity. Yeah, that died.

1:56.2

Yeah, another, another entertainer and celebrity. So it's, it's something in Hollywood. Sorry. Yeah, I was just saying,

2:02.9

we're both like just kind of like reacting here, but I'll just say I, there haven't really

2:08.3

been a lot of celebrity deaths that I've been like, oh my God about. Like, of course,
