Mexican Batman Duct-Tapes Thieves to Poles in Jalisco

At 25:28 · chapter starts 22:12

This is the episode's feel-good story — or at least its most enthusiastically endorsed one. In Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, a figure called Mexican Batman (possibly a small group, based on the multiple vehicles spotted) has been apprehending alleged bike thieves: duct-taping them to poles, giving them black eyes and bloody noses, writing 'Ratero' on their foreheads, and posting pink signs describing their crimes. The Mexican government is unhappy, and the accused thieves claim to be victims — but the community is rallying around the vigilante as a response to rampant crime. Eddie then introduces the even wilder sideshow: female vigilantes in Michoacán who carry assault rifles, built a homemade tank, and set up roadblocks to fight the New Generation Cartel. Henry closes the segment by officially declaring Mexican Batman a hero on behalf of the Last Podcast Network and urging him to email [email protected].

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
