ILL-EGO Culture Brands Red Tape Talk EP.178 | What in the World? XXX
What in the world is going on this week?! 😂
On this episode of Red Tape Talk: What in the World?, we somehow go from Goth girls and asking why kids are naturally afraid of the dark… to a possible kratom ban in North Dakota, one of the wildest catfishing stories we’ve ever heard, Epstein theories, hermaphrodites, Deions’ Instagram habits and a whole lot more.
We get into Daejon Love, the man accused of pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers player and allegedly scamming women out of more than $1.3 MILLION. The biggest question: HOW do you convince somebody you’re an NFL player long enough to pull that off?!
Then there’s Palm Beach Pete… who exactly is this guy, and why does the internet think there could be an Epstein connection?
PLUS: • Why are kids afraid of the dark in the first place? • What’s happening with kratom in North Dakota? • Goth girls 👀 • Hermaphrodites and some questions you probably weren’t expecting us to ask • Does Deion follow and like every fitness baddie on social media? 😂 • And plenty more completely unnecessary—but absolutely necessary—conversation.
This is What in the World? — where Cody, John and Deion try to make sense of stories that somehow keep getting stranger every week.

ILL-EGO Culture Brands Red Tape Talk EP.177 | What in the World? XXIX
Another week, another What in the World? — and this one goes everywhere.
This week on Red Tape Talk, Cody introduces his idea for organizing everyday people to push back against what he sees as corruption and government overreach — essentially his vision for a “new TPUSA,” built around accountability, organization, and taking action instead of just complaining from the sidelines.
We also dive into the recent flooding in Nepal, the devastation surrounding it, and some of the bigger questions and conversations coming out of the situation.
Plus… Red Tape Talk is gearing up for some “PDF” hunting 👀 — and, as always, the conversation takes plenty of unexpected turns along the way.
Politics, corruption, world events, accountability, uncomfortable conversations, laughs, arguments, and probably a few things we’ll regret saying later.

ILL-EGO Culture Brands Red Tape Talk EP.176 | What in the World? XXVIII
Another episode of WHAT IN THE WORLD?! and somehow the world keeps giving us more to talk about.
This week we jump all over the map — from AI continuing to invade Hollywood and entertainment and what that could mean for actors, creativity, and the future of movies… to the shocking death of Hayden Panettiere and the questions surrounding what happened. Authorities say her cause and manner of death are still under investigation.
We also get back into the alien conversation and how something that used to live in conspiracy circles is becoming more and more commercial, mainstream, and openly discussed.
Then we break down the Candace Owens vs. Andrew Wilson debate, the arguments, the personalities, who made the better points — and naturally, we disagree along the way.
Plus Deion had a baby, more completely random stories that somehow turn into full conversations, and everything else that made us stop this week and ask…
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?!
No script. No safe takes. Just friends trying to make sense of a world that seems to get stranger by the week.
