Summary

Where do sovereign citizens go when they need medical attention? Some of them seek help from homeopathic quacks like Rick Van Thiel. Rick Van Thiel is not a surgeon. He's a porn star operating on people with dirty scalpels, reused needles, surrounded by filth. And the worst part is that he performs his surgeries in the nude. This episode is part of my sovereign citizens series. I first learned about this story from Jerri William's podcast called FBI retired Case File Review. Disclaimer It's safe to assume that most PRETEND episodes are unsuitable for young children. Unfortunately, this is one of those episodes. In fact, trigger warning: today, we're going to talk about sexual assault and suicide. This episode is pretty disgusting. So, if you have the stomach for it, please proceed. You've been warned.

0:42.0	doing press releases they're going to be doing press releases. They're going to be
0:44.1	featuring Pretend on their home page, targeting certain people. I don't know all kinds of stuff they're going to be doing. But one of the
0:52.0	coolest things that they did
0:53.9	was that they put my face and the word pretend
0:57.8	on a billboard in the middle of New York City.
1:01.2	So of course, I had to take my mom to see that because who else would enjoy that more than my mom? And so it was awesome. We spent less than 48 hours in New York,
1:14.4	got a tour of the Spotify studios.
1:16.5	They told me I could go record there whenever I want,
1:19.8	which I will take them up on that offer.
1:22.4	And it was just an awesome time and I am so grateful for
1:26.2	this experience. It felt like an outer body experience like I'm living someone else's life.
1:31.7	But I'm back and ready to work.
1:34.1	One more thing before we start the episode, I asked you if you wanted more
