| Jun 14, 1985 | Van D. Trinh: Born (as DVT) on the northern coast of Vietnam on June 14, 1985. We moved to Canada when I was five, settling in a small town in Southwestern Ontario where all the kids would attend Catholic school. | 
| 2008 | Marriage: I met Minh (also known as Mini or M) when I was 23, she was 18. We got married in 2015 and were together for 13 years. | 
| Nov 9, 2019 | Covid & Divorce: The day before we departed for Hawaii, I took 200 mg of LSD and revealed to the world my deepest/darkest secret. Covid appeared within the same week, a 55-year-old patient zero from Hubei province. This event shook and changed the entire world. Out of fear, M wanted to leave. I dragged it on for two years until we finalized the divorce in June of 2023. | 
| Jun 1, 2024 | The Internet: Ever since our divorce, the entire internet has been talking about it. Fed up with some of the things that were being said, I released "Love, Marriage & Divorce" telling my side of the story and proposing a way forward as we usher in the new world. [↗] | 
| Jul 13, 2024 | Donald Trump: Donald J. Trump (June 14, 1946) was shot in Pennsylvania. Two days later, he selected JD Vance as his running mate. |

| Jan 1, 2025 | Matthew Livelsberger: Special Forces Matthew Livelsberger shoots himself and detonates a bomb outside the lobby of the Trump Tower in Las Vegas. A week later, California went up in flames. This was when I found out M had been prostituting. | 
| Jan 1, 2025 | Prostitution: Rumor has it: A pimp from Calabasas started reaching out, offering to fly her out to meet with some rappers. She agreed. In October 2024, she was put up in the Trump Tower in Las Vegas where a horrific 45-minute video shows her unconscious body with four men. Future and Lil Baby were amongst her clients. Bad Bunny is also involved. At least three of her clients or rapists have been killed or put in prison, including the pimp; his house was burnt down during the California wildfire with him in it (and yes, I'm suggesting the $250 billion wildfire was not an accident). | 
| Jan 6, 2025 | Colbert & Kimmel: When the news broke, many were trying to help, including late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel through their late-night monologues. [↗] [↗] | 
| Jan 7, 2025 | Jeff Bezos: Amazon pays $40 million for Melania Trump’s documentary. |

| Sep 15, 2025 | M: At around this time, I started hearing rumors again, and now I fear she's no longer with us. | 
| Sep 17, 2025 | Charlie Kirk: Jimmy Christian Kimmel was suspended for his monologue on Charlie Kirk. I watched it and thought the joke was mild. I later found out that Grace Van Patten was his final guest before being suspended, and Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan was his first guest when he came back. Then it all clicked; Charlie’s assassination was senseless, but that’s only the half of it. I was living in Los Angeles at the time and made a video wishing “Grace” a happy birthday. Jimmy was trying to throw me a softball so the chairman (appointed by Trump) used his position to take Jimmy off the air, because if the truth came out it would risk Trump getting impeached. In other words, they used Charlie… [↗] | 
| Oct 1, 2025 | F4CSIST: I published "F4SCIST - The Blueprint for Impeachment," the government shuts down on the same day. [↗] |

| 1998 | Jesus: In grade 8, I played Jesus in the school play. Our teacher walked into the class and asked, “Who wants to play Jesus?” Nobody said anything, so I raised my hand. “No, you can’t.” He said. “Why?” “Because Sarah wants to play Jesus, right Sarah?” “Sarah can’t play Jesus, she’s a girl.” To settle it we picked straws, short straw wins. I picked the short straw. “Ok fine, you can both play Jesus.” | 
| 2016 | The Zeitgeist: In 2016, I started dabbling in standup comedy, philosophy and writing on cultural issues. Dr. Jordan Peterson appeared, so we snuck into one of his classes at the University of Toronto and questioned him on the topics of Jung, Dawkins and archetypes. I released “Jordan Peterson’s Top 10 Truths,” Sam Harris invites Jordan back onto his podcast on the same day, then they go on tour together, first city: Vancouver. |
