She got railroaded. Politicians should have been in prison.
ABSOLUTELY! That is what my late mother said. She was a scapegoat to take the eyes away form DUM politicians. PERIOD.
they made an example of her :(
James Comey seems to have it out for tough, successful women -- as in his needless reopening of Hillary Clinton's email investigation.
@@williampiel5030point taken, but two wrongs dont make a right.
I'd say either she really rubbed someone (or even a group of ppl) the wrong way, and they "witch hunted" her. and/or she was made an example of insomuch the message from the DOJ/govt "Doesnt matter how much $$$ you have, you are still culpable if you are involving yourself with crime. Elites arent immune."
L. Helmsley was prob in same boat with this too, but she got a harsher sentence.
Martha also jumped into her sentence rather than spend tons of money on pointless appeals. She was in and out of prison quickly so she could get back to her business. I admired her for that style of handling the problem. Her broker walked her down the garden path by telling her to sell her stock. He was the professional in stock handling and knew better. As an attorney I guide my clients on how to conduct themselves properly so they don't get into trouble!
Yes but as you know AI is incredibly popular and does show the average level of intelect is quite lower than AI - which can never replace real intelect and proper moral values. As you recomend. You can never go wrong doing the right thing. I an attorney too and I try to guid my clients in. ways that are honourable and have integrity. But sadly doing the right thing aint always the easy thing. kind regards from Australia.
It was only 50k or something and she had millions on the line.
Thanks for this comment.
I was puzzled about this, I thought a stock broker would not put their client in that position.
I wonder if he was overwhelmed by her fame and got carried away trying to help her not lose money on a stock that was going down, and he stepped over the line.
Just compare her with Pelosi who is making millions out of selling stocks based on insider information. I surely admire integrity and competence of Martha. Her designs made my house more beautuful at the very modest price.
@@jagodaszubert2404 I agree. Didn't get the "career ending" part. She's still in the public spotlight and I got the impression she was doing ok.
Certainly can’t doubt her amazing work ethic. Very impressive.
@@stacyjaye6350 hello, she is nice when cameras or eyes are on her. She is a ruthless tyrant???
@@LezBobsRainbowBeatsbeing nice has nothing to do with work ethic
No, of course not, but if you consider bullying and tyranny good ethical values, kudos to you.
@@LezBobsRainbowBeats work ethic and moral ethics are not the same thing. You're needlessly conflating the two
@@mjb405All Power Belongs to Allah, whom distributes it to whoever he wills, and withers it to total chafe to whom he wills.
Totally agree with your analysis. She wasn’t malicious, she didn’t have malice, and she was extremely hard working. Love your video!
What's the difference between not being malicious and not having malice out of pure curiosity?
Malicious or not she is still a criminal. Still worth today $400 million. she should pay restitution for all that lost because of her criminality.
You dont know this woman like I do....this woman is nothing but malice ! Shes a narssisitic evil woman.stop glorifying celebrities
@@martyes9563 malicious means having an intent to cause harm or injury to another person, while not having malice means not having that intent:
@@NASA_astronautHammockStepMom Yes, that person said they don't have either which is redundant based on your definitions. It's opposite sides of the same coin.
Only members of Congress are allowed to do insider trading.
Nancy approves of this statement
Yeas, Comey made sure of that! Nothing worse than a jealous man.
@@Hobinator17 Double-ditto!
Good one!! And so true!!!
A True , Truth.
Martha was highly respected in prison by the guards and other inmates. she got right in there and cleaned toilets and flors with the best of them. I live in WV and know people who worked at the prison during her stay. Believe it or not. She was liked and respected
So you respect a person that goes to prison and cleans a toilet? Your self esteem must be a very low bar
@@Chris-i4gChill. I don't think she's saying she respects Martha. She's only saying Martha was well respected by the people in prison.
Either way, you don't need to demean people like that.
@@Chris-i4g People who remain true to themselves during adversity, are often admired for their 'nobility' in all situations.
@@Chris-i4gyou sound like an awful person
She was a good inmate as many convicts are ! It means nothing !
I have the same admiration for Martha Stewart that Dr Grande has and resent that she went to prison when others guilty of far worse insider trading whose salary over many decades nowhere near matches the fortunes they have made. She is a resourceful, strong woman who made a success of her business through sheer hard work, guts and creativity.
quite a gal
how many times has this crime been committed in history-white WOMAN goes down for it...
I agree. She's amazing! I love the things she said, some very good quotes. I love her directness and I understand the impatience with ineptness and stupidity. As we watched the documentary, my partner kept saying, "Oh my God! You're just like her!" Ha ha, Not true. I am not rich.
I’m impressed by Martha Stewart her persistence has revealed a character that is endearing and authentic she is who she is!
I think it's pretty amazing that Martha survived prison. She was guilty of a crime did her time, debt paid and she moved forward instead of spiraling down, respect.
Came here to say that.
@Bunny_Gee cool
Right , she figured out makeup and food tricks
She has survival skills
She spiraled. When you collaborate with Snoop Dog you know your life has taken a turn for the worst.
@@GuamanianHarmonLoop LOL Snoop ain't Diddy.
Found guilty of lying about a crime she didn’t commit. Ok. Government had to save face. She wrote about her time in jail and turned it into a positive….she walked out wearing a sweater made by a fellow inmate. Martha is awesome.
She would wreck her life for $45,000?! I don't think so... silly.
@@mf5985 Uh, no. That was the government who did that - or rather tried to. She's living very happily in her retirement now.
They love getting people on "lying" to them in crimes that potentially did noy even happen.
Purjury trap.
She’s still got a good life but they stole her empire from her. Disgusting government.
Martha lied about a stop-loss order to sell the stock when it went below a certain amount admitted to a friend in Mexico saying "isn't it nice to have brokers who tell you these things." It's a slim amount of evidence but it shows she wasn't completely innocent.
I’m an attorney. When Martha was convicted she appealed but she also arranged her prison time so she could be out to plant her garden in the spring. I’ve seen a lot of people cry and complain. Martha just said, I don’t think this is right but let’s get this over with and move on. I can respect that.
Her career never ended though. She's still thriving.
Well... It was revived. It did end/die for a long moment.
@@AJ-TheGr8
bs
I like her. She is a strong role model for women. She is flawed and didn't let it sink her forever.
That said, have you examined Paula Deen?
Did any of the MEN who dumped their stock get indicted? Probably not.
LOL. I used to not like her because I found her snooty and mean spirited. But I have really changed my mind on her. Good for her for making it through that prison sentence and bouncing back. Go Martha!
Good question
Being raised in new jersey!!!😂
Ya, a feminist would say that. How to be a criminal and get away with it. Both are still worth millions. Paula Deen 16 mil, Stewert 400 mil. A corporate strategy, build cooperation, commit crimes, make big profits, get caught, pay fines and or go to jail, and come out still a millionaire on ill-gotten gains.
The Doc nailed it again.
She overcame New Jersey!
yes, Heard that to, what does that mean? I'm Swiss ; ))
@@katharinatrub1338it means NJ is butt.
I laughed out loud when he said that, still chuckling to myself 😂😂😂
@@rob870 Same!!! 🤣
Has Dr. Grande ever said why he hates New Jersey so much?
She bounced back good for her. I've always appreciated her style.
I agree!
I watched the Netflix documentary on Martha Stewart last night. It was not a 'sugar and spice' story about a hard-working, wealthy woman who once went to prison. The documentary seems almost a raw and very personal story, one I doubt we would see today had Martha not been made a scapegoat and served 5 months in prison. It is almost difficult to watch in some segments, but I can identify with a number of her personal emotional experiences---they are of a woman. The one really important message I think, in addition to being a survivor of her trials and tribulations both personal and business, is that Martha Stewart was the first, original "influencer." That's an amazing observation to me. ....and somewhat ironic when considering the uneducated, untalented woke freaks that some consider influencers today. Martha Stewart is now age 83; the story of her life is like no other. She was the first self-made female billionaire in modern history. At age 73, I still admire her for an incredible body of work and her courage.
Beautifully said and completely on point. I agree that her experience is that of a woman. As a 43 year old who was coming of age at the height of her popularity and “downfall,” she has always been a trailblazing, role model in my eyes and certifiable badass! The original HBIC!
I agree
Wow... amazing victim story for a billionaire. Are you kidding?
Martha Stewart changed entertaining, cooking, gardening, fine living so those habits made life so much better. I was a magazine subscriber for years, they contain everything.
sad she took a foray into insider trades
I was a subscriber for years! I loved her magazines, books and shows! I learned so much. I’m still a huge fan of hers!
Thank you Dr Grande for reviewing this case. I think Martha was unjustly punished.
I too found it amazing that so much chaos was wrought over this "crime". You were right that her business was destroyed but a business is people and many lost their jobs. The cost to innocents was too high and I do not believe Martha should shoulder that burden. This was not just.
Say what you want about her, but her recipes can’t be beat. I recently won first place in a pie baking contest using one of her apple pie recipes. I adapted it by adding pears and a handful of chopped pecans, but the basic construction was hers. Thanks, Martha!
But the secret (amended) was yours 😉🥇
Sounds delicious! Congratulations
Her Italian meringue buttercream is amazing. The best cake frosting ever.
@@monongahelacats Gonna have to look that up! Italian meringue buttercream…. 😋
Is there a good recipe for a cake to put the frosting on? I'm a huge cake game and buttercream frosting is my favorite. But appreciate it if you could let me know. I made a cake one time from gourmet magazine that I lost the recipe
Also makes no sense that a billionaire would be concerned about $45,000. Why would she risk it? She was railroaded.
Exactly and she use to be a stockbroker. I think her stockbroker may have known but just told her it was dropping and she said sell it… but the assistant guy said something different so idk oh and her friend
Neither one of them never said she was tipped off bc she didn’t talk to the doctor friend until afterwards the next day I believe
Martha Stewart now has street-cred, so she's a heroine in my book. I still love Martha Stewart.
Martha is the best.
Because she knew how to get women to stop focusing on men , and heal themselves with pretty things and crafting .I still have her magazines
Why? Loving someone that you will never meet or have any interaction with? People are strange.
@@en677 Determination to meet her goals, even after being targeted by the Feds for next to nothing.
Badass
In 1986 I attended Hixson School of floral design. I then did an apprentice in Atlanta and DC. I got a great job in DC. In and around 1990 Martha Stewart began floral Design. Her introduction COMPLETELY changed the entire industry, world wide. Style and use of flowers was complete different. Everything I learned went by the way say. Her amazing talent changed everything internationally. This chic rocks. And she positively influenced so many in prison. Her influence is still shining today
Chick
Went by the way
Not way say
@barbieblue3336 thank you for trying to correct my mistake. I meant by the wayside . Anyway did you get the point how one chic changed so much???
@@barbieblue3336 Jesus Christ, relax. You must be fun at all the parties you don't get invited to.
@@barbieblue3336”fell by the wayside” is the correct idiom.
But this is a great post from a professional about how MS changed an industry.
Dr. Grande’s analysis of the Netflix documentary, “Martha”, is a good thing.
I didn’t realize until now that this was only over $45,000.00! Thank you for your presentation of this story. I admire Martha Stewart’s success despite being born and raised in NJ. 🤣🤣🤣
Who cares where she was born and bred.
It's not where you come from but where you end up that counts.
Unbelievable!

Thank you Dr. Grande!! I truly respect Martha Stewart. She is a hard worker, a wonderful cook, gardener, decorator, and taught and shared her skills with many many people (including me). And she always loved her many animals. Have a good weekend Dr. Grande. I truly respect you also!!❤️😇🌵from Jean.
Her career never ended. She’ll be remembered for her many achievements and strengths, as well as her humanity.
So many family financial frauds and system abusers go free every day. Her case is a drop in an ocean.
I'm amazed that she went through her prison ordeal without falling into depression, and bounced back. It shows she's a tough woman!
I think she inspired and brought happiness to a lot of people.
incuding criminal
Dr. Grande throws shade like he was born with sunglasses on 😎.
My husband mentioned Martha and her documentary about 8 times today after he watched it. He’s not the type you would think that would enjoy something like that, but he very much did. I didn’t get the opportunity as I was working all day, but was pleasantly surprised when I seen your thumbnail❤
For all of Martha's faults, I enjoy her cooking videos a lot. She's interesting to watch and to learn from, and I like the way she talks.
Everyone has faults. And someone as smart and successful as MS is bound to be the subject of criticism borne out of green eyed envy!
I never understood people who dislike her. I’m a very laid-back and sloppy person and I like her. She’s funny in a very deadpan way. Some overly tidy people freak me out tho.
Dr. Grande your voice is so soothing. Even when talking about crime.
“….and being raised in New Jersey”. 😂😂😂😂😂
So glad you waited more than thirteen minutes into the video to drop that one. Classic, and well done.
Martha is a pretty remarkable person. Yeah she f-ed up, and she became a lesson, but she’s still living large.
The thumbs down is for the New Jersey put down.
Time for everyone to grow up and stop looking for cheap laughs.
I enjoy a joke as much as the next person but the same tired old joke from dr grande is wearing a bit thin.
Time for the "Dr" to find new material.
Dr Grande makes me laugh . Throwing shade at Jersey 😂😂😂
Martha is still the GOAT of Good Living
I remember a November magazine issue showing the Thanksgiving feast in her magnificent horse barn with chandeliers and her beautiful Freisian horses looking on. She illustrated my own dreams!
I have that issue of her magazine ! Nov 2016
Nordt's Thanksgiving dinner!
Love the collab with Martha and Snoop.
There’s nothing like seeing a couple of legends vibing off each other while they prepare a summer salad

I've always admired Martha Stewart.
Tak!
I loved the Martha Steward Living magazine!! I really miss it!!
Martha’s company is a floor above mine in Manhattan. I see her every now and then and she’s always been very sweet.
She did the crime, did her time, and came out stronger than ever. She’s a real G. Brilliant of her to pair with Snoop. Genius.
I don't see how she was guilty the case was pretty weak
Another great one well explained by Dr.Grande. I finally understand what really happened to Martha Stewart I truly respect her Perfectionism especially at her work.. Thank you for Sharing
I have her books, subscribed to her monthly magazine and watched her TV show. I love it and what it all has taught me, not just in cooking and entertaining but in life.
Totally agree with your take. I also appreciated the discourse at the end, it made me reflect on my own similar coping mechanisms
Her pie book is a work of art . She is loved by many. I am a huge fan.
Do you have any favorites from that book ? I've been invited to a pie fundraising party and I want to bring something exceptional.. 😊
@Katie-vy5rd yes, and few, all the different pie dough making process, the variety of making skills. I made the apple, pumkin, peach, blueberry.
@@Homengineer thanks! I think I'll try the blueberry when everybody else is making pumpkin and all things autumnal, I'll have the blueberry! 😊
@Katie-vy5rd it is so good!
She is the greatest gal and a real American original icon. We have always loved her ideas. We feel some people acted like it was "open season on Martha Stewart's money" (a Wall Streeters' description). When she was done pulling the knives out of her back and returning them to what she thought were her "friends", she landed on her feet. Usually women who hate her in the extreme have other issues. She did volunteer and help while in prison with helpful ideas.🧡
she lied to the SEC, right to their faces. About trading info shared among 'family & friends' plan. Then she still cheated home confinement, scooting around on an ATV to Hot Yoga . Yeah she's a real winner. helpful ideas. All of them.
@@timewa851 Oh give me a break, did you even watch the video?? The governments case was weak asf. Also just look at the post below this one, lots of people have committed this 'crime' very few actually end up in jail. They went after Martha for publicity alone because of who she was.
@@vejet yes I’m convinced that she pissed someone off
"prison, where knife etiquette is taken very seriously" 😂😂😂
This was a great analysis, Dr. Grande! Chef's kiss 😁
Thank you.
.... And being raised in New Jersey... excellent insight from Dr Todd
she aint in the old boys club, therefore its a crime to do what they do.
I've always loved Martha Stewart's content. I've learnt to enjoy the food I put on the table. Who she is personally is probably far removed from all of this, but I'll forever be grateful for having a means to learn how to make and present a beautiful salad or fold my napkins, or chop my garlic, or fold a fitted sheet. She's made sure that anyone with an internet connection can access her videos and recipes. In my home, we rely on Martha recipes monthly and on her domestic advice daily. Thank you, Martha.
Being raised in New Jersey is NOT an obstacle!
It’s sarcasm
Get over it already Miss Thin Skin.
Excellent!! I also felt it was good, like I got to know Martha more. She was honest. There was a strong message of how she is growing and evolving. I made me feel alot better about aging, realizing we can evolve and pivot at any age!! (I'm 56).
I don't think I have ever purchased a Martha Stewart product, and was never really interested in her, but I have always respected her intellect and her work ethic. I was happy to see her come out of that mess and simply THRIVE. Respect!
We share the exact same thoughts and feelings about Martha Stewart. I really admire her.
Thanks Doc, you did Martha proud.
I really enjoyed her documentary. Like I have a new appreciation for her.
Love Martha Stewarts recipes and her line of household goods.
I admire Martha Stewart too! Thank you so much for this nuanced and sympathetic take! I wish you had directed the documentary.
Martha is the original influencer.
No one told her she needed to be elected to congress first. Very sad….

Thank you, Doctor.
Always the right words.
10:02 It's sickening how society views "strict and demanding" women vs "strict and demanding" men. Men are praised for it; they're called leaders, determined, tenacious, strong-minded and hardworking. But women are demeaned for it; we're called bossy, rude, mean, unpleasant, and pushy. Any man who would have accomplished only a fourth of what Martha Stewart accomplished in her life would have been wildly praised and celebrated. But because Martha is a woman, she is criticized for it, and then wrongly imprisoned. Sounds like there were several men intimidated by her and they were hellbent on "putting her in her place"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love Martha! I loved the documentary & I love your take on it
Never made sense that she was convicted of lying about committing a crime but was never convicted with committing the original crime.
Sounds like she was railroaded
This happens all the time. See Buddy Cianci, who went to federal prison after being convicted of one count of conspiracy, and acquitted on 26 charges.
I don't care what the government say I agree with Dr. Grande - Anyone who is born and raised in New Jersey and is able to become a very successful entrepreneur/billionaire, is a hero in my eyes.
Once again, totally agree with Dr G. If you don’t like Martha, go away. We don’t need more “realism”. We need ASPIRATION & motivation to overcome obstacles & command excellence- not forgive laziness & lack of attention to detail. GO MARTHA!!!
I learned a lot from Martha Stewart. I still fold my towels like she taught in her magazine.I love her!
Martha is and always will be exceptional.
she's a criminal. You'd think being married/divorced from a guy in finance would've taught her to not game the system. Guess not. She's exceptionally stupid to try it.
I love the "add-ons" which Dr Grande sometimes provides. Thank you.
Martha is the BEST I Art Directed for her on some TV Commercials and travelled with the team. Martha works very hard and has a great sense of humour. ONLY say GREAT things about my hero..please and thank you
I remember as if it were today, filling my apartment full of Martha Stewart products. One of her blankets is still my favorite.
Good evening Dr. Grande😊
You did good in this review dr grande
Nobody is perfect and I still like Martha. I've tried many of her recipes and I loved them. I've read that during her stay in prison she offered tips on how to make the food taste better and that she had competitions where the inmates would decorate their cells, she would pick the winner and give a little prize. After she left jail she was interviewed and showed a poncho an inmate had made her as a gift. Martha Stewart is awesome!
I don't think I would get long with her, but I can still respect her. my mother was a perfectionist, and that is an incredibly difficult person to live and associate with. However, it meant that she could produce some fantastic work (as a seamstress, cook, musician and a laboratory technician). Very worthy of respect and awe, but hard on relationships.
"...the over reliance on shanks as decorations," may be the funniest line I've heard on UA-cam in months. Bravo Grande!
Her and Snoop got along just fine 💯❤️
Really good work on this video. high quality, and personal, plus a great camera angel 👌
interesting video, but a couple corrections i would add. when i was a trainee at the FBI academy at quantico we had someone come in and speak to us about the type of crime and this case in particular, he was one of the special agents involved. i thought it was real hokey to hear something about the lady my mom was always following but it ended up being fascinating. long story short - - don't lie to the feds....they already know the answer.
edit: this was around the time after the surge, 08-09ish. martha's scandal was far from top of mind, but it was VERY useful nonetheless. this was before we ramped up in afghanistan under obama in '10. salafi jihadist terrorism was a big point of focus, we hadn't gotten bin laden yet so (domestic) terrorism was still something on everyone's mind. lots of unknowns. I remember the lecture being a breath of fresh air. my background was geared more towards the middle east / north africa (MENA) but it was cool to learn the whole story of this lady getting a number in the fed system
edit 2: I was working as an analyst, not working as action jackson just fyi
So what are the corrections?
Duly Noted!
@@siewheilou399 they got her lying about it. everything else is just smoke. additionally, the comments about her being impolite etc are all speculation on causation/motive. lots of respect to this guy but he just cranks out a new video every day and seems like he just reads the wiki page. you can tell with his newer stuff when his eyes are moving just reading off a script. have more to share let me see my notebooks if they're in my basement

So she was convicted for lying about her stock trade to the feds, which was like (for a lack of good comparison) lying under oath in court? but her stock trade was not illegal?
@@siewheilou399 the big take-home lesson for the day (at least to me) was about how she lied to the FBI agents (itself a crime)
Your ending is too funny 😂
Not related to this video specifically, but I’ve noticed a pattern in recent videos where the portrayal of women seems overly critical... I’ve been a follower of your content for years, and I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and the insights you bring. However, I’ve noticed a shift in recent videos, and I wanted to share some thoughts. It seems to me that there’s a pattern of being somewhat critical of women, especially in cases involving violence or serious crimes. In particular, there are moments where it feels as though the actions or behaviours of the women involved are scrutinised more heavily, which can come across as empathetic toward the perpetrators rather than the victims. I’m mentioning this to encourage reflection on how women’s roles and experiences are discussed in these cases. As a long-time viewer, I just wanted to share how this change has impacted my experience with your content.
Dr. Todd is looking for UA-cam mainly male audience clicks. He's catering to the fascination with divas and witches.
In this case the public burning of Martha Stewart for the benefit of the US legal department's image coinciding with the 2008 collapse.
LOL for a moment, I thought we were going without an NJ dig! You never disappoint, Doc😂. I never knew Martha was from my hometown so thanks for that little tidbit of info!
I believe Martha Stewart is a net positive for society. It would be a good thing to have more people like her.
Btw love your jab at New Jersey but I'm 71 and grew up in Jersey City and I can truly say I would not trade my Jersey City experience for anything. It was a wonderland for kids and sometimes pretty dangerous. My life was filled with railroads, rooftops, cellars and the Hudson River. Every neighborhood, Polish ,Irish, Italian had its own church.
I lived in an Irish neighborhood downtown and had an astounding number of friends.
I go there now to Hamilton Park and I'm amazed how it's retained it's beauty.
The brownstone we owned now goes for 2 million dollars.
I had a childhood others can only dream about.
Back in the 90's, we had a local Kmart. Martha was doing surprise "pop-ins" around the country in her private jet to see how her displays looked. Well, apparently she was NOT happy when she saw it lol. She threw around the dishes , towels & linens etc. and was having a bit of a meltdown, saying: "this is not right! this is not how it's supposed to look!" That story even made the local papers lol. Again, its ok to be a perfectionist...but I don't know if scolding ppl making $3.35 an hour was the best way to go 😬.
I worked in New Product Planning for a number of the Top American pharmaceutical companies. Any time we released “bad” information to the public, we’d all sell our company stock the day before the announcement. We’d purchase stock the day before the company released good information about the company. And we shared our plans to buy or sell with all our friends. None of us went to jail.
This used be called common sense, connections,good neighbor whatever.
This law is inexplicable.
I root for Martha.
That’s called insider information and therefore insider trading. Its illegal.
@ Yes, obviously. But how to enforce a common practice? When you know the train is going off the rails, you jump. And like Dr. Grande stated, Martha Stewart was indicted for lying, not for insider trading.
The New Jersey comment almost made me spit out my coffee! LMAO! You should consider comedy.
Gotta love those dry throw-away lines he sneaks in there!
She loves her animals, so she is alright by me 👍👍❤️
This was such a nice take, and made me laugh out loud several times
I've always admired Martha. Thought she was scape goated in that insider trading. Nonetheless she has made a comeback that looks good on her. Basically her winner attitude steers her forward and thru all difficulties. She's awesome and I'm happy for all her hard work paying off. And she looks great.
Love your content and proudly support you on patreon!
I read somewhere that she taught some ladies in prison how to knit or crochet. Sounds like something I would do if I were sent to prison. I don’t think I will be going though. I’m 70 and have lead a crime free life, thankfully.
Besides being creative, I have nothing in common with Martha Stewart. However, I have always loved her. I have been a fan ever since I knew of Martha Stewart. Thank you for covering this topic Dr. grand, I agree with you on every point.
I was hoping for a peanut the squirrel video as the world seems outraged but this was interesting too
