But it would take its -- -- we continue with what the heck just happened as we reported last night to captain of the noted in football team -- tied to fail.

Caught up in a massive Internet fraud.

He told -- world his net girlfriend who we apparently never -- died from leukemia that was false the girlfriend never even exist.

Now -- -- -- are in a very bad place rejoining us from New York City Greg Gutfeld Bernard Mcguirk and you say Mcguirk.

I mean anybody who has had an imaginary girlfriend for three years I mean it's just that boggles your mind -- -- Gutfeld probably has had imaginary girlfriends on the Internet for like twenty minutes at a clip.

Which is understandable.

But this this that this is not a good -- what a tangled web we we've built I mean.

That this whole cat fishing thing that with these -- these poor people go a long line and develop these emotional relationships.

And then they go to meet the the principles of Internet love of their life and it's a Joy Behar lookalike -- or Chris Hansen.

You know with a with a put so I cops wait for -- It's just wrong you know -- get out there and enjoy life get -- grab and hold it -- it kicked attire and it's the only way can experience life.

That's it -- have pretty computer like some pale face -- -- what's happening now boy it's big time not now got so what about Notre Dame though -- you know this is.

-- the most famous football program and a world.

Reaches -- championship game -- -- looks like they sat on this story they knew.

I think the day after Christmas that this wasn't holding together yet nobody said any thing the guy played in the game.

And I think noted -- here -- got some exposure.

As today -- Yeah I -- well I think no one knew what to make of this story because he can go one of two ways either he was Hoechst.

Already he's in on the hoax and we still don't know this I just wanna go back a point from when you're talking points.

About the laziness of culture.

This is the big problem with the -- Is that we allow web lies to skate by no one bothers to check anything anymore.

And I'm as guilty as anybody I would I actually Google medical illnesses when I'm sick and I take my advice from like psychics in Norway.

Rather than actually call real doctor and that's the culture we live in today is that we actually don't.

Check anything anymore and it could this this any journalist could have figured out Notre Dame could have figured out that this was not a game.

ESPN -- which was the agency that drove the story.

Obviously didn't jacket but Notre Dame now Mcguirk.

Is still standing behind this is as you know yesterday it is the athletic director don't want -- and ties the victim here and he's a victim of a meantime his father apparently told the press that the imaginary -- are all.

Visited.

-- tie in Hawaii.

That's I mean rhetoric -- -- -- the father his bottom is but.

So that it was an imaginary visit now we know why he's real right and I've been there so I know it's real all right his imaginary visit.

From an imaginary girlfriend and -- -- it on what is is gonna ever.

And there's a lot left to come out -- and the fact that Notre Dame did an investigation still sticking -- -- pretty inexplicably given Lou Holtz is very skeptical of that whole thing.

But I mean look good today was exposed that the girl his imaginary girlfriend the picture that they use and woods a classmate of a friend of -- is.

And so so there's some sort of some conspiracy there's a lot more on the left to come out.

But but if it where it is truly had three years I've ever just say -- the young adults and kids on the Internet -- you gonna end up living in your mom's basement.

You know against some pale face loser with bad -- and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and get out there and enjoy life.

That this yeah I think it is I have no -- -- -- the Internet taken -- and it's addicting it's an addictive video arcades where FaceBook.

-- and a it's crazy I'm gonna have to -- Gutfeld wrapping up Gutfeld say something's sage try when when you when people complain about the web they're actually complaining about.

The lack of family.

Know when shares with each other the experiences that are going on their lives because they -- -- prefer.

To share with strangers because as a novelty effect of talking to somebody you don't know.

Rather than talking to somebody you know too well and that's what you're seeing -- you're seeing people reaching out to strangers and that often leads to bad things.

All right gentlemen thanks very much we appreciate.
