Episode Date: May 22, 2026

Thomas Massie just got primaried out, and it cost the most money ever spent on a primary. $32.6 million in ad buys. A guy hand-picked by Trump comes out of nowhere and takes the seat. Massie voted wit...h the administration 77% of the time. His sin was the Epstein files. So we get into it. We talk about getting that kind of money out of elections, and why the people who could fix it never will. We talk about AIPAC, foreign influence, and whether the question changes if you swap Israel for Egypt or China. Michael walks through where his generation is landing on all of it. Then it gets lighter. Two F-18s mate mid-air and four guys punch out. A man hops a fence at Denver International and walks onto an active runway. A tourist throws rocks at a seal in Hawaii and finds out. And we close on a criminal monkey gang in Bali running a sunglasses-for-snacks racket. Heavy up front. Stupid in the middle. Monkeys at the end. Join the Cleared Hot Newsletter: https://www.clearedhotpodcast.com Today's Sponsors: Firecracker Farm: https://www.firecracker.farm

Starting point is 00:00:01 Okay, got the red smoke. I'm looking at danger close now. Anyways, we're going now, so it doesn't matter. Now we're going? Yes. I should probably finish this mouth full of food then. Probably. He said you were ready.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Just a little post-training snack. I noticed you were there for training. Yeah, I have a slight shoulder injury. But you played in the Magat Fest, didn't you? Well... I'd say yes now. No, I did play in Megatfest. But that was by...
Starting point is 00:00:44 before my bigger shoulder injury, which was caused by playing in Megatfest. Hold on. You were injured before the Magat Fest. Very slightly. That's how you're phrasing it now. You were skipping Jiu-Jitsu because your shoulder had a boo-boo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:07 So you were injured. Because I didn't want to injure it more before Megat-Fest. Okay. Then you went down to Maget Fest, injured it. What kind of post-training rehab did you do? Do you hydrate? Mostly hydration. Mostly hydration.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Lots of pain suppressants. What type? In the form of liquid. I know. Well, walk us through it. Let's live vicariously through you. How many total drinks do you think you had? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Six or seven probably. What do you weigh about 150? I'm like 185 right now. You don't believe me? I mean, I'm looking at you. Yeah, I'm 185. As of last week. which was the last time I measured myself.
Starting point is 00:01:59 So we can go. You can weigh whatever you want to if you hold on to a dumbbell. Oh my God. We can go to the gym and I'll step on the scale and you can. Have you right a Texas scam? If you are 185, I need a breakdown of what that is comprised of. I ain't muscle. Not a lot of muscle.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Yeah, I'm 185. What was your opener? It was rehydration. Rehydration. What was your opener? Well, so they... Did you say lime coconut, seltzer?
Starting point is 00:02:29 Yeah, it was really good. So they have... That actually does sound refreshing. It's amazing, yes. And it felt very refreshing, even though I knew I was actively sapping my hydration. Don't you think there's a little bit of high?
Starting point is 00:02:43 I mean, it is fluid. Water is in the beverages. Yes, for sure. But I'm not sure how much the alcohol counteracts that, you know? I think it's more of a diuretic, right? It just runs through you and you end up peeing it out.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Yeah, I'm not really sure, honestly. I did have to pee a lot. I'm not a doctor or a scientist. I am not either. But yeah, for those who don't know, you can get at the start of the weekend, a $30 mug that gets you free beer all weekend. Just never been a beer fan. I'm not either.
Starting point is 00:03:10 That's why I stuck with a seltzer. Did you fill the mug up with seltzer? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They added on tap. Okay. Times have definitely changed. I just don't remember seltzer being on tap.
Starting point is 00:03:20 And I feel like a missed opportunity for my generation, quite frankly. Yeah. I like, yeah, I just don't like beer, really. I don't like, well, I guess I technically shouldn't like seltzer either. I don't like the carbonation of beer, but then the seltzer sounds delicious, but that's also carbonated. It is carbonated. Yeah. That doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I like seltzer more because it doesn't sit as heavy in my stomach. Like beer just like sits there. I feel the liquid weighs the same. Yeah, I guess, but it feels like there's more beer, you know. I don't know. It feels lighter, which is why I like it. I was just happy to hear that you were out expressing your early 20s. At 23, you should be.
Starting point is 00:03:56 be out living your best life. 26. And yes, I was out living my best life. Good. How'd you feel the next day? Pretty shitty. Actually, it didn't last as long as I thought it would. Yeah, I heard that about you.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Well, the hangover. Let me be clear. Of course it didn't. You're 23. You can't even get hungover. Yeah, I was very slightly hungover. Luckily, I did not have to play the game on Sunday because of my shoulder, which would have, you know, it would have been a definitely a chore to play that game.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Tackling injury? No, scrum injury actually. I was locking, which I usually, I don't really do that often. And the other team really was pushing hard and collapsed our scrum and like multiple 300 pound men fell on me. I mean, there's nothing new about that. No, that's that's pretty obvious day. Yeah. Pretty average day for me, actually.
Starting point is 00:04:48 All right. What do you have for the week? What's going on in the world? I just got back off the road from Virginia Beach. So I didn't even realize what day it was. until earlier today. I thought it was one day before. Oh, you thought it was Wednesday? Yeah. It was not. Yep. So it is what it is. Is the world falling apart still? Depending on where you check? I mean, yeah, kind of. To be honest, I do have a lot of, well, I have some, some uplifting
Starting point is 00:05:16 stories. A lot of them are kind of downers, though. Let's start with the Debbie Downers. Okay. And we'll end it. We'll send people off into the weekend renewed and Refreshed. With an uplifter. Okay. Okay. Today's episode is brought to you by Firecracker Farm. You want to talk about things that integrate into my life?
Starting point is 00:05:36 This product right here might be one of the easier ad reads that I do. I am putting this hot salt on just about everything. And I'm being the first to tell you, I don't understand the chemical reaction and how it's able to pull the flavors out of everything I'm putting it on from eggs in the morning to avocado toast to steak, just about everything. I'm not a psychopath. I don't put it on fruit. I haven't tried that yet. I don't understand how it does it, how it pulls the flavors out, how it makes everything that I eat taste better, but it does. My recommendation to you is to head over to firecracker.combe to check out what they have to offer because they have legitimately
Starting point is 00:06:12 very spicy hot salts, but they also have new stuff like the vanilla heat flavor, which I'm pretty sure Alex's daughter had the idea for. They sent me some. It has been my absolute go-to. And then everything in between. It's going to come in these stainless steel push button grinders. All you've got to do is drive the plunger down with your thumb and you can control how much. I don't have a crazy heat tolerance. So I'll generally use one or two pumps, but you can go as insane as you may like. So you can get them on firecracker.com. Or we actually sell these in the coffee shop here locally in Calispell. Or if you live somewhere that has a black rifle coffee, you can get them in store as well. Alex and his family are creating these products together at their
Starting point is 00:06:50 small family farm. So this is your opportunity to really level up your seasoning game, but also support the American dream for a family that is all in on this. And they're doing it together. So it's an amazing opportunity. The best way to do so, probably for most people, head over to firecracker.com. Check out what they have to offer. I would, I would suggest the vanilla heat. You won't regret it. Back to the show. You don't have to come off the top rope. Let's ease our way into this one. Yeah, this isn't like totally horrible. What do you have for us today? Massey is beaten and his primary.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Yeah. With frankly an insane amount of money, the most money ever raised for a primary. Yeah. Mostly funded. $32.6 million in ad spending according to ad impact. We have got to figure out a way to get that type of money. money out of our elections.
Starting point is 00:07:53 It's insane. It is categorically insane. Yeah. Imagine 32 million. How much you could do with that? Not really. Just because I don't add. Well, I'd say I would say not really, but we're not far off.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I've already gotten some political. Now they're, you know, nesting. I got a political text message from AOC, which I'm pretty sure she represents something in New York. Yeah. From a 406 number. which for people listening or watching, there's only one area code in Montana.
Starting point is 00:08:23 It's 406. That's why if you are on the road and you see a bumper sticker that says 406, it means it's probably a Montanaan or somebody who enjoys Montana. So now even spam calls, and I'm sure this will kick off again for, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:08:39 We are six months away from the beginning of the political cycle for 2028. Yeah, I would see. Our election, oh, November. It's for everybody, right? November. Yeah, but I mean, even like the presidential one, And that's where I really, really noticed.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Oh, yeah, yeah. But yeah, they nested in now local phone numbers to call. Yeah. Local phone numbers to text. I do get mailers in the mail, but I just, those I only touch from the time between I go to the mailbox in the garbage can. Straight to the trash. 100%.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yep. I don't. It has to be impactful, I assume. Actually, really all it would need to do would be to nest a sticky idea that you could build off of. You know, marketing is just marketing. It's been pretty proven to work. So, I mean, a great system would be each candidate is throwing out a number.
Starting point is 00:09:32 You have $500,000, period. That's maximum spent. Yeah. I think that would be a great idea. It'll never happen, though, because, again, the people who need to vote that into existence would be voting. Their incentives are not alive. It's against their own interests.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I did see this. Yeah. He was beat by an ex-team guy, actually. Yeah. Ed Galrain, who I know, I knew the name or know the name, but I don't know anything about him. What I find interesting is apparently this guy kind of came out of nowhere and was picked by Trump.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I feel like if you have $32.6 million, or was that combined? I think it's combined, but it says... I believe the split was nowhere near 50-50, though. I don't think so. I think it was in the high 20s and somewhere around $5 million for Massey. Yeah, I think so. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:18 And which up to this graph, Massey also was raised out of state money. 91% out of state money. Really? But I don't know his total raised. I mean, maybe that's why I got a text message from AOC. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I feel like it was directly from her too. Probably. Yeah. I'm sure she has a Montana area code number. Yeah, I would guess so. She's an avid Montana. One per state that she reaches out to. So whatever Wyoming is,
Starting point is 00:10:47 that's the number that was next. and then the Dakotas each have one. The thing I don't like about this graph, it doesn't say total amount raised. Yeah. Itemized individual donor geography percent of dollars. Whoa. It actually wouldn't surprise me, though,
Starting point is 00:11:07 because people are so polarized and weaponized for team sports at this point. Yeah. Team red, team blue. I could see people 100 percent. supporting from out of state. Yeah. Well, and Massey's become one of the most well-known Republicans
Starting point is 00:11:26 because he's one of the only ones speaking out against Trump and his handling of the Epstein files. Didn't he run on transparency when it came to the Epstein files? Oh, yeah. I mean... At this point, I don't believe we're ever going to get anywhere with it. No. Spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Tomorrow, Michael and I are sitting down with two people. One is named Ryan. The other one is Nick McKinley, who people recognize from Deliver Fund. Nick introduced me to Ryan. Ryan believes that Epstein is still alive. I am hesitant about the episode because I am not interested in any way, shape, or form on a conspiracy theory about whether or not Epstein is alive. I care very deeply about whether or not our government turned a blind eye to the things that he was doing so they could achieve their own end state. but it's my understanding that what Ryan has is information showing that the systems,
Starting point is 00:12:26 and I, and I will have to wait until tomorrow to get into this, and it's going to be anything other than here's a grainy video of Epstein walking down Boko-Raton, hand in hand with Osama bin Laden. Yeah. He's, I'm paraphrasing a little bit, speaking for him, was saying that systems are still in place or things are still moving around
Starting point is 00:12:47 that would indicate, that the person who was throwing the levers is still actually throwing them. So we'll see. I don't think anything is ever going to come from it. Nor do I think at this point, even if the government were to say, hey, we've released everything.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Nobody's going to believe that. Because it's like trying to look through a bucket of sand and see the other side. It is so obscured at this point. And nobody knows what the truth is. Yeah, I don't. I don't either. I don't even pretend to.
Starting point is 00:13:19 No. As I've said many times, my best guess is that the guy just moved money for anybody who would let him move money. And it is an unfortunate fact. Well, I can't say fact because this is an opinion. It is my personal opinion, which I don't believe it would be too hard historically to show as a fact that the government in what they will say in the interest of the many will allow things to happen to the few. Yeah. I mean, he was, what year was at 2006? He was first charged, something like that. So they knew something was... He was convicted in 2009, right? Or 08, something like that. You're talking about down in Florida? Yeah, in the 2000s. It was in the early aughts. It's like they knew something was going on.
Starting point is 00:14:06 I feel like they knew something was going along before that. They might have an inkling. I also don't think he was the only person who is like that, who in talking with people like John Kiriaku, who will say that, will agree that the intelligence agencies require money to function. They're not paying for things in checks. It's cash. They need people who can launder. Launder and turn money from digital into cash, move it from place to place. What a great business model, too.
Starting point is 00:14:38 I'm going to be a trader. And I actually don't just buy whatever you want. I'll short whatever. I'll buy whatever because the ROI at the end of the day doesn't even actually matter. You're going to make an amazing scrape. And yeah, what a great business model. Yeah. You win when you win and you win when you lose. Yeah. I mean, that's a pretty good strategy. Yeah. But yeah, on the Massey thing, I'm not going to sit here and say I paid a ton of attention to it. And I'm also not going to pretend that I knew really who he was before the, this was a primary, right?
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah, this was a primary. So how does that work? That means that he is not eligible for reelection. even run for the unless he goes independent. Now does Galrain have to run against somebody else or at the end of Massey's term is Galrain the guy without an election? What, uh, what, what do you know? Because Massey still has a term to serve out, right? Like Dan Crenshaw got primaried. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:41 So he's still going into work though, I think. Yeah, yeah, no, he's no longer eligible. Yes, yes. I believe Mass, yeah, because the actual election hasn't happened yet. This is just to see who's running for the Republican spot. So he's basically a dead man walking at this point. Essentially. And so Galeraine will have to run again against any challenger?
Starting point is 00:15:59 Against, no, no, against the Democrat candidate for the actual seat. Yes, yes. Okay. Okay. So basically it just says, hey, Massey, you're out. Yeah. Yeah. And the thing I think that bothers me the most is it kind of seems like Trump was like,
Starting point is 00:16:17 hey, this guy's going against me hard. We need to get somebody else in there. What do you mean? It kind of seems like that. Let's be big boys. 100% seems. Let's just take the kind of out of that. I don't even think you even need to hypothesize.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I'm pretty sure that Trump specifically said, essentially, my word's not his, fuck that guy. Yeah. Let's bring in somebody else. We'll do what I say. And that's fucked up. If the president who is supposed to, you know, kind of be beholden to all these different systems. Look up how many, what percentage of the time did Massey vote in line with Trump's initiatives?
Starting point is 00:16:51 I believe the answer is going to be 90%. Yeah. And he, because he's a conservative, he didn't agree with the Epstein things. Yeah, I don't think anybody should agree with the- Well, they shouldn't. A lot of the Republicans let it slide and Democrats. I can't think of a good reason for that. There's no good explanation where somebody could sit down and say, this is what happened and why.
Starting point is 00:17:14 This is why we don't agree with, Protect the victims, of course. That's not even a conversation that needs to be had. Protect the victims to the best of your ability. But I'm not understanding a good argument or reasoning where anybody on either side of the aisle would say, yeah, it's just better to not have this stuff out there. People shouldn't know.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah. Well, and that's, I mean, I think that's one of the reason Massey got so popular among liberals and conservatives. Is he's one of the only ones that's saying, hey, this is fucked up. Like, you ran on releasing the files when you released, and you just kept hammering. I think that shows you how scared the other politicians are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And if that's the case, if that's, again, a hypothesis, and I'm actually just more thinking out loud and posing a question, are they not doing anything because they're scared of the repercussions? And the second question would be, if that's the case, then how destroyed is our system? It is not functioning at that point anymore. Yeah, I mean, one of the reasons. you can hypothesize for why politicians are not going hard against this is because they are in some way implicated in the files. Yeah, I mean, statistically, I would say yes, a certain percentage of them probably are. I don't know, again, it's one of the talking points. Anybody not doing what Massey is doing is protecting pedophiles.
Starting point is 00:18:48 There's an essence of that statement that I suppose could be true if, in fact, the people you're talking about are implicated in that. But that's such a broad sweeping statement that I think it loses a lot of the accuracy. Right. Because I will go back to what I do believe. And that is that the government, in my opinion, my hypothesis is that they were aware that he was doing those things. And they would say, for the benefit of the many, we are going to allow a few to be victimized. That's the reality. Sorry, everybody.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah. 77% of the time, by the way. Okay. So just under 80%. Yeah. Yeah, it's, uh, Trump is a powerful man in Washington right now. I'm curious, though, in two and a half years,
Starting point is 00:19:38 what that power vacuum, or if there is a power vacuum, what that looks like after he is out of office? Um, yeah, I don't know. I don't know who, who the Republicans are going to put up. Most people would say Vance or Rubio. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:56 And there's also the talk and who knows how true this is of Trump wanting to somehow make it so he can run for a third term. The only way I've heard that's feasible is he becomes J.D. Vance's running mate. Yeah. As VP, Vance gets elected and then steps down. He abdicates, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I don't think he has the lifespan. Yeah, enough lapse yet. Yeah. in the tank. He's already seeming kind of geriatric. Agee is a real thing. It's coming for us all. Yeah, he seems a little out of it.
Starting point is 00:20:30 It's ironic because he rigged so hard on Biden for being out of it. But man, he seems like a little. Let's not get into a game of comparative age aging. You're an ageist, I believe. What you just did is very, very bigoted. I am an ageist for people who want to run our country. Yes. I think the combined age of both candidates should be
Starting point is 00:20:51 no more than 100. I agree. It can be 80 to 1. Well, now it can't be because I think you have to be 35 to run. But no more than 50 and 50. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:59 One guy could be 60. The other one has to be 40. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there needs to be an age cap on this. Like it also goes to like the average age does not represent the average age of America as a whole. So it's not an accurate representation of our,
Starting point is 00:21:16 of our country. Yeah, man. I'm not ultra impressed with how our system is looking. I did see on X, so this has to be true. I was nominated for a press secretary for a campaign in 2028 that I don't think is real, but I accepted the nomination. Can you imagine if they would let me up there just once? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:21:40 For an hour. I actually would love to see that. I would call on everybody. Yeah. Not at the same time, obviously, because that would be hard to manage. but I would answer every question that they have. That would be amazing, actually. I would like to do it.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah, you're probably one of the only ones that would answer every single question. People wouldn't like some of the answers. No, they wouldn't, but it would be very entertaining. Problem is I would get asked about a bunch of stuff that I didn't know the answer to. So I would just say, I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I'll do the best I can to find one for you and come back,
Starting point is 00:22:11 but I don't have it right now. Next. Next. Yeah. Yeah, anyways, this is shitty. What are your thoughts? Do you have any hope for our political system? I mean, we're getting ready to go into 2028. Are you pumped? No. I unfortunately have very little hope. Yeah. I just, I don't even know. You better have hope because it's your generation. Yeah. Not to take any emphasis off of my own generation and the one that's in between yours and mine. But yeah, everybody. has to, I almost think they want it to be so messed up that people don't pay attention. I think.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Well, it's kind of working because I am so tired of hearing of this bullshit. Yeah. How much influence do you think Israel actually have, has? I mean, this is the second paragraph here is pro-Israel groups, including the American-American Israeli public affair. Oh, that's APAC. Okay, that's what they're talking about. And the Republican Jewish Coalition played an outside.
Starting point is 00:23:19 role in seeking to unseat Massey for his position on the war in Iran. Okay. I'll say this. They're the only foreign country that can influence our elections through APAC. Well, they're not the only foreign country, though, that could have a pack, though, right? I mean, can other countries? I don't know. As well, I mean, I would have to imagine that other countries are trying to influence or support
Starting point is 00:23:46 people they think would be aligned with their incentives, maybe not to the same agree. Yeah, this is why the internet is a good thing so we can look this up. Oh, this is one those. I think it's a fair question to say why so much money in this particular race from one particular group. I think that's a fair question. I don't have an answer to it. I don't know if I can totally grasp on to people very commonly saying now that Israel is running the United States and that politicians are all bought and paid for. This is, I don't know, what to make of this? I think there's some interesting connections,
Starting point is 00:24:30 especially if you look at Jared Kushner. I don't know all of the, I've just heard murmurings of his connections with some higher up people in Israel. Yeah. I do think I heard people recommend that APAC register as a foreign agent, well, why don't we just have any political party
Starting point is 00:24:49 that's going to support our political system with money do exactly the same thing? It makes sense for, it makes sense for A-PAC, just like it does for any other pack that might be from a foreign country. I don't see what the issue is there. Yeah. Other than it would what, be a tacit, or an explicit acknowledgement that it's outside influence from another country? Yeah. I mean, I think.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I mean, that's kind of what we're looking at, though, here, too. If you can look at those two organizations and say that, it's like, okay, cool. You didn't technically, you're not technically labeled as that, but it doesn't change the outcome. Let's just put everybody on the same playing field. Well, I just, I don't know. Yeah, I've just, it's interesting to me, especially some politicians, like Ted Cruz or other politicians that are so pro-Israel almost to the point where they're forsaking the values that
Starting point is 00:25:54 their voters elected them for. That's an issue for the voters to correct. that. I agree. Why the voters tolerate that, I don't understand. I don't know either. And I think, I mean, especially in my generation, there's a huge wave of if you receive $1 from A-PAC, you're instantly not a candidate. Really? Yes. Where is, okay, let's, let's explore this one a little bit. Where, when did that start with your social circle or age group? A couple years ago, maybe like five or six years ago. Okay. Yeah, I started seeing it. more and more. And yeah, people were just kind of like, wait, what, what is this pack? First of all,
Starting point is 00:26:37 packs, but this one in particular, particular that American Israel was a foreign affairs, whatever. American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Yes. Why is everybody so hell bent on always giving money to Israel. Like, why is everybody hell bent on just supporting them no matter what? And it's, again, not an anti-Semite, not, I don't care if you're Jewish. It's just interesting to me that no other country has this amount of sway over politicians. I mean, I think a clean way to look at it is take the Israel portion out of that and put in their China. Take it easy. Egypt. Yeah. It's Exactly. It's like, well, why?
Starting point is 00:27:25 It would be the American, Egyptian public affairs committee. If Egypt were doing that, would this draw the same level of scrutiny? I don't know, but I think a lot of people would have the same amount of questions. So to me that says that level of money and involvement, you need to understand the why and what is coming from that. So if you'd have the same level of question as if it were coming from somewhere else that was in the region, maybe this is something that we should look into. Yeah. And the point is it's not just Israel.
Starting point is 00:27:59 You could look at that. You could play Jordan, Egypt. Look, like, why did Egypt spend $28 million on, or not Egypt themselves, but a pack associated with Egypt. I'll be very clear here. Why do they spend that much on a race for a Senate seat? Yeah. It doesn't matter where you, where the country that you switch it to. Obviously, China, if it was China, people would be up in arms.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. And so I think that's a fair thing to say that in that way you can remove it. It's like, is this really about Israel or is this about the influence that money and foreign nations can have and what they want from that influence and money on our government? That, to me, is incredibly fair and legitimate. And that's where I'm coming at it from. Yeah. For me, it's not a fact of, oh, because it's Israel.
Starting point is 00:28:49 It's a fact of why is any foreign nation? It happens to be Israel. It happens to be Israel. Yes. But I would, like you said, I would feel the same way if it was Egypt. I would feel the same way if it was Iran. I mean, obviously Iran is not. So do you think that there is a tipping point where APAC in their overwhelming involvement in politics could actually start cutting the other direction?
Starting point is 00:29:12 And regardless of the amount of money that they spend, the more money they spend, the more negative it could be for them because they have turned essentially everybody against them because of the public. optic. It sounds like that's what you're saying for your generation. For my generation, that is exactly what's happening. There are polls that I've seen that have come out that have, they basically say, what is your support of Israel? And basically anybody below 45, it's like 90, 10 against. It's overwhelming. And so that's a pretty goddamn important trend. Yeah, it's kind of crazy, actually. So yeah, all I'm saying is like, look into it because it's a little strange. It's a lot strange.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Yeah. And I don't think a foreign nation should have any sway over us, let alone being able to, in a roundabout way, influence our elections. Yeah. I mean, in meantime, I assure you that the United States is meddling in as many elections as possible. Absolutely. And I think that's wrong.
Starting point is 00:30:17 I think that's wrong. And for as much as we say democracy is good. Yeah. You need to be able to vote your people in. And then we go around to meddle in all these elections and make sure the guy we want gets in. I think that's wrong. It's hypocritical. We know what's best.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Right. Exactly. We know what's best for every country on earth. I know what you need, Michael. Yeah. Just relax. Just let us handle it. Totally.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Yeah. All right. So since we've probably already been canceled by this point anyway, what else you got for today? Yeah. completely throttled this episode yeah we'll get demonetized and the channel will probably disappear shortly after a Friday afternoon. Okay, have you heard of? So this is actually kind of funny. This chud the builder.
Starting point is 00:31:08 What? Okay. First of all, do you know what a chud is? No. I would like to, though, so I could use that inappropriately. It's new modern slang. Okay. Basically, it means, basically, basement dweller, reddeter, like fedora.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Isn't a fedora just a hat? Yeah. Are fedora's out now? Like, that's not a good thing? That's negative. Oh, yeah. Yeah, fedores have been out for a while. And it's associated with like no shower neck beard.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Hold on. What does a neck beard have to do with not showering? So, well. Because you have a beard and have good self-care. Agreed. But neck beard typically refers to somebody who is overweight and has. a double chin with a beard on it. I'm learning so much.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yeah. It's a... Is Chud or Chad? Chud, with a you. Isn't Chad the male Karen? No, no, no. Chad is like super buff like alpha male. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I need my jaw line. I need my notebook. Chud. Okay. So this guy's name is Chud the builder, which is funny because he doesn't like look like the stereotypical chud. Okay. Like he actually looks like a Chad, you could say.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Do me a favor and just Google image, Chud. And I'm just curious. I want to see what it comes up with. Chud. Okay. Don't confuse that with Chad. That would have really different meaning if you were trying to insult somebody. It would.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Okay. So this is kind of, so it's like somebody that easily gets mad online. Okay. I like the stick figure drawings. Those are excellent. Yeah. And thinks he's right about everything. Basically.
Starting point is 00:32:53 And is that picture really the origin of? I don't know. Actually. I'm not. Oh, maybe it is. Origin of Chud. But.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Okay. Yeah. And typically it's associated with very far right wing views, like Nazi views. Oh, boy. Yeah. And so now we have, let me show you a picture of Chud the Builder. I think there's actually one. Is this, did this man give himself this name?
Starting point is 00:33:20 Yes. For some reason. So he does not look like. So that's more chadish. It's more chatish. Chad. Like this guy looks more Chad. I think you would agree. I mean, since I've been using these terms for about four minutes, I think I understand what you're saying. I don't know if I'm ready to agree yet. He does look different than
Starting point is 00:33:36 Chud for sure. Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, this Chud and Chad to give different vibes. Yes. Chud. Chud just sounds bad. Like you don't want to be a Chud. Oh, he's involved in a shooting. Yes. So let me give you some backstory on this guy. Okay. He is a live streamer. He would go around wearing a cowboy hat, usually like a tank top in cowboy boots. And he would go to the- Seems like kind of normal cowboy attire. It might.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Well, it is, but he would go up to groups of black people and call them the N-word. No, he wouldn't. He would. And live-stream it. Why? To be provocative. Is he trying to lose all his teeth? Well, that is almost what happened.
Starting point is 00:34:16 He gets in the, he so he has pepper spray. Anything for the clicks, right? Yes. And after he provokes. That's literally all he does? Like, that's his thing? Yep. After he provokes them, he will sometimes pepper spray them once they obviously get mad.
Starting point is 00:34:28 How is that not a crime? Well, now he is under arrest for shooting somebody, a black person, after calling them the N-word. Racist dog whistles. I've heard that term. I don't know what that means either. Honestly, I'm a little too old for dog whistle. He was arrested on Wednesday after an altercation with another man. This is what we know.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Scroll down. Did I shoot myself? That should be a rhetorical question. At about 120 p.m. on Wednesday, police responder report of shots fired outside the Montgomery County Courthouse. And his jam is to go to courthouses? I don't know if he, I think that was just a one-off. Deputies detained two people who were involved in a physical altercation that escalated to gunfire, according to news release from the sheriff's office.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Both people sustained gunshot wounds and were taken to separate hospitals where they're both listed as being stable. The district attorney in a separate news release identified one of the people, involved as etherly, which I believe is Chud. The authorities declined to answer questions about the second man, however, a witness who said she saw him loaded into an ambulance described him as black. Well, that's not the best description. Wow. Scroll down. Did I shoot myself or did it graze it?
Starting point is 00:35:53 On this dream from just after the shooting that Etherly posted to social media says he shot a man in self-defense after the person started hitting him. Is it self-defense if you get attacked after you go and antagonize? Right. I think by the letter of the law, if you induce them to physical violence first, you might actually be justified. Yeah. It doesn't mean it's morally correct.
Starting point is 00:36:21 It doesn't mean that I would say it's the right thing to do. But I think by the way that the law is written and applied, is this what this guy does for a living? Like, this is it? Yes. And I've seen him pop up on my Instagram before of him. He's literally just holding his phone like this where he has like a selfie stick, you know. And he'll walk up to a group of black people and say, hey, end words.
Starting point is 00:36:47 And then when they get mad, he continues to antagonize them. And choices have consequences, man. Yeah. I'm, I'm hard. How many. Yeah. I mean, how many times have I said, I am not here to tell people how to live their life. unless you are, if it's consensual adults and you're not praying on children, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:37:12 And in this situation, this is an adult making a consensual decision, a decision to go out there and antagonize people in what I will call one of the worst ways possible. Yes. And if you want to put yourself into that environment where the dildo of consequences might just show up and slap you across the face unlobed, I don't have a problem with that. Yeah, I mean, really stupid thing to do. How large is his platform? I don't know. I hope it's not that large. I hope that people wouldn't support that in any way, shape, or form.
Starting point is 00:37:49 But I feel like I'm about to be let down. You're, let's see, $230,000 on X, $9,000 on KIC, which is another streaming platform. Yeah, I don't know what KIC is. there's no way he could put that stuff up on YouTube right without violating their terms and service I don't think he did put it up on YouTube I'm pretty sure kick is very lax with their streaming rules and so that's why it was able to be live streamed on there I mean are we really at a place where people will actually do stuff like this as a perceived vocation or occupation just literally just for the clicks,
Starting point is 00:38:32 as cliche as that sounds? I, it seems like it. I mean, I wonder what the retirement package is like for this occupation. You know? Like, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:45 And you think that this stuff is not going to, I mean, how, this is something that I tried to remind my children as they were growing up. I would say things like, just, you know, we all get angry. There are things that frustrate you. Sometimes people are going to,
Starting point is 00:38:59 talk to you or at you in a way that you're not going to want them to. And you are going to feel completely and utterly and wholly justified in coming off the top rope and going back at them with something that's pretty gnarly. And I said, you know what? You might even be justified in doing so. But in the digital world that we live in, you might be at a job interview one day and have somebody slide a piece of paper or a file folder of paper across the desk and say, is this you? Explain that. Yeah. How does this guy explain? in any of this behavior and any occupation. And I'm not going to call what he's doing as an occupation.
Starting point is 00:39:35 He's making a shitty life decision in my personal opinion, which is all it counts for. You're really bracketing yourself in life and putting yourself into a pretty self-defeating system. Yeah. Yeah, you're kind of walling yourself off there to being the racist guy online. The only video of this that I would like to watch
Starting point is 00:39:57 is him getting the shit beat out of him. Yeah, that's the only version of the video I'd want to see. I'm not interested in. Yeah, this provocateur walking up. There's just no need to be like that. No. Life is tough enough as it is. It's gnarly enough as it is.
Starting point is 00:40:11 People are assholes as they are. You don't need to artificially introduce that into anything. Or spread that out. There's enough hate in the world to begin with. Yeah. So is he in jail right now or is in the hospital? So I believe he's on bail. I don't know what his bail.
Starting point is 00:40:29 was actually. Let's see it. Was later granted release on a $5,000 bond according to a judge's order. The hearing was scheduled at Montgomery County Courthouse Wednesday morning, blah, blah, blah. I mean, it seems like so either eitherly
Starting point is 00:40:43 or eitherly was taken into the Montgomery County. Jail he's charged with attempted murder, employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. Good. All those things sound good. And I hope they prevent him
Starting point is 00:40:55 from his current chosen profession and behavior. Yeah, yeah, of being a streamer going around. I'm not so sure behind bars that self-correcting ecosystem is he going to treat him very well. Yeah, that's... Chud might be a little... People might be looking for a old shud. Chud, yeah, chud, I think may not have a great time at prison.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Yeah, they'd be smacking his cheeks, if you know what I mean, or slapping him. I don't even know how to say that properly, but... Chud's going to get turned out. Yeah, Chad's not going to have a great time, I don't think. Yeah. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:41:34 How did you find these things, by the way? Also, why do you have an Instagram group called No Andes that you invited me to? I did not invite you to that. I think Tyler invited you to that. Okay. So you and Tyler have. Alia. How long?
Starting point is 00:41:48 Fuck you guys. Hold on. What is this thing called? No Andes allowed. Yeah. Why did you add me to it? I didn't. That was Leah or I think
Starting point is 00:42:01 Who came up with a name? I did. You're a piece of shit. For everything I've done for you, this is what you do. Yeah. Well, it really just started off with me and Leah and Tyler just sending docs and videos. And it didn't have a name.
Starting point is 00:42:18 And so you weren't in it. So I named it. No Andy's allowed as a joke. And then I'm going to start a group with you. I didn't call it Michael's a bitch as a joke. But also serious. Yeah, I support that. What else you got?
Starting point is 00:42:34 Okay. I'm sure that you have seen this. I'm just trying to think of, I wonder who I can call a Chud today, just so I can get some reps in. Chud. It is a fun word to say. Yeah, and you can tell that it's not a compliment as it rolls off the tongue. The word does not sound good.
Starting point is 00:42:52 It doesn't. Yeah. Hey, Chud. Chud. Okay. Oh, I have seen this. Yeah, this is how F-18's mate. Yeah, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Boy, there is some paperwork associated with this. Oh. So originally, I thought it was AI. No, look at that. Four punches right there. Yeah, I mean, at least. I have never. So I did a change agent's episode with a guy in a Max afterburner who was F-15.
Starting point is 00:43:27 And pause it. I'm going to repeat what he said. And he looks at a lot of aircraft related stuff. He's never seen two aircraft stuck together like this. Yeah, that's why I thought it was AI. Yeah, I'd have to assume that the vertical fins of the bottom plane, go back to the beginning. Here's what I think happened. So the plane descending down, you can't obviously see through the floor.
Starting point is 00:43:49 So he or she, I don't know, was the pilot of the plane descending down likely didn't know that the other aircraft was there. Now, the aircraft that was below, you would assume that you're like, alert, alert, alert, there's another airplane, unless they were both heads down doing something right before landing like a landing checklist. This is how fast stuff can happen. So, I mean, it's clearly the plane on top is descending down. And this is the F-18 mating ritual here. See what I'm saying? Like there's no way that plane up top knew they were there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:21 You would, oh, and actually go back again all the way to the beginning if you can't. It doesn't have to be super slow speed. It looks like the plane descending down was slightly behind as well. So unless they were up and over the shoulder, they may not have seen it anyway. Yeah. But it's probably the perfect angle. To where they both had blind spots.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Yeah. I mean, look at that mating dance. Yeah. It looks fake. It does. Let's assume, since I would be the pilot, you'd be in the back doing the,
Starting point is 00:44:51 you'd be the Rio, the radar intercept officer. Yeah. What would we be saying at this point? I'm thinking, Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Yeah, I would probably not know what was going on for a second. I think you would be screaming at the top of your lungs.
Starting point is 00:45:02 I'm just like, ah! I'm not much of a... Say it. As I was about to say it, I was like... You're not much of a screamer, huh? Yeah, no. More the silent type? Yeah, I would probably be like, what is going?
Starting point is 00:45:16 I'm going to be like, oh, fuck, and just probably be silent. But it wouldn't be a good silence. I mean, that is closer than the Blue Angels. I'll give them that. You know what I mean? Yeah. Maybe they should try out for the Blue Angels. That fireball right there.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Google, do you know a little goog on the, oh boy. Imagine descending into parachute into that. I feel like they're going to be a, oh. Are they ahead of it? Maybe they're ahead of it. Well, the wind is definitely going from left to right. Yeah, they're okay. Go ahead and give it a little gog on the cost of a F-18.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Ooh. I don't think that particular accident was cheap And there is going to be some substantial paperwork associated with that About 65 mil per Yeah So a nice 130 mil Yeah breeze Honestly though that is nothing for the
Starting point is 00:46:12 Yeah U.S. government They really isn't they don't pass an audit anyway So nobody even though that those crashed So you've heard be said before Almost all aviation accidents are perfectly functioning aircraft in pilot air. Dude, that's pilot air.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Oh, yeah. I'm glad that they all got out, that four ejection seats punched and they were able to get out of that. If they hadn't offset just a little bit, if that one canopy was over the top of the other one, that would have been a different ride. I mean, because those things eject you at very high speeds, right?
Starting point is 00:46:45 I've never been on a ride in one, but you go, I know you take a lot of Gs on the way out, so I have to assume so just going straight into a metal. What? And, yeah. Well, there's zero, zero seat. meaning you can be on the ground at no airspeed. It'll get you high enough for your canopy to open.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Not meaning you're going to have the softest, gingerest landing. But it should, that is gnarly. Yeah. That smoke cloud is crazy. Oh, that's just, yeah, that's, did you see the smoke cloud when the airplane crashed at the Cowstall Airport? Yes, I remember that. That's just jet A burning.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Yeah, okay. That's just what it looks like. Yep. And probably aluminum or whatever else an F18 is made out of it. Right. Yeah. A couple other things. Great to be released into the atmosphere. Totally avoidable. Yeah, let's go back to the beginning.
Starting point is 00:47:38 You see what I'm saying? How they're converging like that? How did they get stuck? I wonder. So something's flying off there. Pieces are flying. Look at that. That is so crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Wow. And they're not coordinating on the radio on ejecting either. Like there's no time for that. Yeah. Does it do it automatically? Or do you have to press? Oh, no, no. You'll go, you will, to my knowledge,
Starting point is 00:48:02 I've written in the backseat of an F-18 for about two hours. I've never been up front. To my knowledge, if you don't pull the handle, you are going to go. Oh, so you have to. Oh, yeah. Eject yourself. Interesting. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Well, remember when we had Kegan on? Yes. The guy who basically liquefied himself. Yeah. Yeah. He pulled. So, remember, he was, what did he say? He was less than a second from impact.
Starting point is 00:48:22 The plane was just going to, he would have rode it in with the aircraft. Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely pilot initiated. I think. In two-seaters, there is a way you can push the backseat out, meaning if you pull one handle, both go. Oh. But that's still human-activated.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Right. Yeah. There's no automated function for that. That's rough. So crazy. Yeah. Unfortunately. I'm glad that they're...
Starting point is 00:48:46 I wonder if that's career ending. Man. I would think if you crash two jets, it would have to be, right? Well... I guess maybe it depends on the circumstances. accidents happen in aviation. There are mechanical issues that occurred. Obviously, there will be an investigation about this.
Starting point is 00:49:07 My completely off out of my ass guess is that this was 100% human error. I think it was a visual issue of closing distances. It's certain angles and velocities that they just were unseen. Yeah. But if you expect pilots to be perfect and not make mistakes, you are setting an unrealistic expectation. and military aviators are very highly trained, but to expect them to not make mistakes,
Starting point is 00:49:32 I think would be an error. So I don't know if that's career ending, though. I mean, I think it could be, depending on how gross, not as like ick, but how grossly negligent one of the pilots was. I mean, if you find out he's up there texting and flying, that would be an issue, I think, yeah. Guys, let me just tell you, that happens.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Yeah. Well, I feel like in a plane, And it, there's nothing around you, right? Like, what do you? You'd think so. There's a lot of blue up there, right? Yeah. They come together more often than you would think.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Interesting. Yeah. Huh. So I had seen that. I'm glad that all four of them got out of that okay. But yeah, that's pretty wild. Yeah, that's, it's insane. Okay, another plane related incident.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Oh, my God. Have you seen this one? I've heard about it. Yeah. I don't, this, I don't think actually shows the impact. I think it stops right before impact. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:33 So was the plane taking off or landing? I don't know. I feel like that play was finished as made by plane on airport runway. I don't know if they were taking off a landing. It was at a high rate speed. What we're looking at is a thermal image. What the pilots in that airplane didn't have
Starting point is 00:50:53 is access to this thermal image. So we can clearly see somebody walking across a runway. Which, why would you do that? I feel like maybe he was suicidal. Oh, actually, here's a little breakdown. Hold on. Let me see if the, I don't know. I feel like there's easier ways.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. But it's insane. That after intentionally climbing an eight foot barbed wire perimeter fence at Denver International Airport and walking directly into the path of a roaring frontier airline's jet as it was taking off for L.A. He didn't run. I mean, looking at the video, he was walking.
Starting point is 00:51:30 He was just walking. Maybe he was suicidal. Maybe he was just going to saunter out. Right. But it was also, well, they had their landing lights on, I'm sure, so he could probably see the engine nacelles. I don't know, man. Maybe he just wasn't of sound mind. There's that.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Yeah. Why would you hop a fence at an international airport and just go for a stroll? Yeah, it's so weird. Also, how did that not get noticed until right there? Yeah. Where was the response? Maybe as there was a perimeter breach? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:02 I'm not saying this is a military installation or anything like that, but. I wonder what air. airport. Denver. Oh, Denver. So you would think they would have some sort of way to tell. I don't want to go much deeper into what I think because I don't want to give anybody any ideas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Yeah. When it comes to. Britching an airport. Yeah. Or ways to probe security. Yeah. What I'll say is this. I would hope they clearly had a camera.
Starting point is 00:52:25 They saw the person before. Yeah. Well, I wonder if they weren't actively looking and just went back for that footage after they knew the. Okay. That's possible too. Yeah. But if they had the camera, maybe let's use it proactively. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Instead of retroactively. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So let's see. If the person was suicidal, one of the more outlandish ways that I've ever heard of that being taken care of. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:59 113. Mott caught on surveillance. Scale the airport's perimeter fence in just 15 seconds. Yeah, it was only eight feet tall. Okay. A ground sensor alarm went off. Oh. But an operator reviewing the camera identified a herd of deer outside the fence and did not initially see him.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Okay. So again, I didn't want to go too deep into this. They mentioned a ground sensor. That's good. Yeah. Okay. Not great if there's wildlife, but also give it more than a cursory glance, right? Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:28 So two minutes later, 11, 15, just two minutes after scaling the fence, he walked onto the active runway, 17 left. So that means this runway, that is the 17 is the. direction, so departing nearly to the south, runway 1-8 would be due south, directly in front of the accelerating aircraft. The man was struck by the jet's engine, which caused a brief engine fire and filled the cabin with smoke. Yes, pilots immediately aborted the takeoff and all 230 passengers were safely, so that must have happened before V1, which is their go-no-go safety speed. The coroner officially ruled the incident to suicide. NTSB and FAA investigated the security breach, but airport officials confirmed the fence line was fully intact.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Go back to the beginning. I just want to see the pace that he was walking. Very slow. I don't know, man. Like you said, maybe not of mental, sound mental. Well, either way, probably not of sound mental judgment at the moment. That looks fun. That's also your raft in case you go into water.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Oh, nice. Make sure you take off your high heels before you go on the slide. That would be a bummer. That's a new one. that Delta has added. Yeah. I actually did see that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Yeah. Wow. Oh, boy. Go back to that. So that big fan up front is called the N1 fan. That is what is just, that's probably I'm sure that's a large bypass engine. And that is just compressing and pushing ear back into the turbines, which would also be the first point of contact for anything that. I mean, obviously there's the bottom area.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Right. Yeah. But after you hit that, I mean, I can see it going wrong, you know, and you're out there chucking and jive and right. Yeah. Well, the thing, it didn't seem like he was like intentionally. That's why I'm, I don't know. I don't know he was just walking. I don't know what to say. Like, I feel like you would have to be pretty, because the airplane's moving so fast. It's also the airplane is lit up. Yeah. You turn on all your lights when you are getting ready to land and also when you are getting to depart. So other aircraft can see you. You know what I mean? This is just air craft, basic aircraft avoidance and maneuvering through. the runway environment. Like you're going to turn your landing light on when you get ready to take off. That's, uh,
Starting point is 00:56:02 I don't know, I don't know what to say about that. I don't know me either. It's insane. Yeah. I would agree with you. Don't walk on active runways. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Don't hop a fence at an airport. Yeah. And try and walk across the runway. Yeah. It's man. Interesting, interesting way to, Good job on the pilots shutting it down.
Starting point is 00:56:31 That's gnarly that those people can just walk right up to the... And see the impact. Yeah. That's not going to be pretty. No. I mean, just from here, you can tell there's quite a bit of blood right there. I don't know if that's necessarily blood or damage or whatever it is. I think it's fair to say that it might have been a little bit of a robust cleanup process.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Do you think they just replaced the whole engine? I would imagine that that entire aircraft is going to have to go through an earworthiness inspection. I don't know what, I mean, because there is an essence of an impact. I mean, that engine, four jerseys, not getting flown ever again. But they'd have to check how the engine is mounted. They'd have to check the wing to make sure there was no structural damage. That thing's probably pulled offline for a substantial period of time. But it also probably would fly again, too.
Starting point is 00:57:21 So there you go. Or it could. There's a potential. I'm not going to say it would, but there is a potential, especially if it was not structurally damaged that it could fly again for sure. Good job on the pilots for keeping it on the runway. Like I said, there's a speed with which they'll continue the takeoff and they would have had to come back around.
Starting point is 00:57:36 It would have been a single engine as opposed to a boarding the takeoff. But that, I wonder if they saw him in the cockpit right before it happened. Yeah. I mean, there's nothing they could have done. No. and then heard the impact and probably just, yeah, I don't know. That's, I don't even know what to say about that, man. Yeah, it's insane.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Do we have anything uplifting? How long we've been out of? 55. Do you have anything uplifting, Michael? Or should we just open this bag of dicks and? This is kind of uplifted. Okay. So you heard about the tourist in Hawaii that was throwing rocks at a beloved seal.
Starting point is 00:58:14 No, I clearly don't hear about the things. Did the seal come out and whip his ass? That would be uplifting. Well, the seal didn't. So here's the video of him throwing a rock. Why would you throw rocks at a seal? So it's ridiculous. God, people are such asshole.
Starting point is 00:58:27 37-year-old man from Seattle. Oh, that's fucked up. Yeah. So that's fucked up. But what's kind of redeeming about this? Take it easy there, flare pieces in the background. Yeah. Oh, he's getting the shit beat out of him.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Yeah. This is very, very short video. But that's a native, or I don't know native, but local. You know, very similar to Chud. Yeah. Yes. There are consequences to the decisions that you make. And if you're going to be an asshole and why would you throw a rock and an animal like that?
Starting point is 00:59:19 Yeah, it's insane. There is a video of him once, so he's on the beach throwing the rocks. Another person there is like, don't do that. You're going to get fined or whatever. He goes, oh, I'm rich. I can pay it. So. Well, you can afford his medical bills.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Yeah, exactly. That's another portion of this. He can get some nice veneers. Makes them even more hated. Yeah. I don't care if people have a lot of money, but having a lot of money is not a permission slip to be an asshole. Yes. Unless you want to have that permission slip challenged and taken back.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Yeah, which I support. You have all the money in the world. And you could have somebody who has nothing come up and literally take all of that from you by either taking your life or breaking your fucking body to the point where all the money in the world can't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Yeah. And that's kind of what happened. I was hoping the seal would come out of the water and eat him, but I don't think they're
Starting point is 01:00:12 carnivorous. I don't think so that would be cool. They eat fish and stuff, so I guess they're a little bit carnivorous. Yeah. Why do that? Doesn't make any sense. Just a dick. I always wonder what's going on in people's life that would get them to that place where they would do something like that.
Starting point is 01:00:29 Where they always inherently like that? I mean, it's a weird thing. hobby as an example my dog javelin there are people out there who take great pleasure in inflicting pain and punishing animals and i look and i look at that dog and i couldn't bring myself to hurt that dog no i mean i've like accidentally moving stuff around the kitchen and my toe will go over his toe and he'll yelp yeah or you catch his tail in a drawer and he and it's not incredible you feel so bad oh i feel terrible yeah you pick him up and you make out with him for at least 30 minutes. Well, you do that. Yeah, I don't. Whatever. He tosses your salad so you guys are back
Starting point is 01:01:06 to even, whatever it is. However you guys get back to your homeostasis, it doesn't matter me. But there are people who would take out whatever is going on in their life on animals. And maybe this guy is one of those people. But what led him to that place? And that doesn't excuse the behavior by any stretch, but I just don't understand how you get to a place where you think that that is acceptable behavior or that is going to end in any way other than a local coming and kicking the absolute shit out of you. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's insane also because animals are purely innocent.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Like they act. I bet you there's criminal animals. I bet, but they're still acting on instinct and don't have a moral. Really? Why don't you pull up in, I'm trying to think of the place where the monkeys steal glasses and they trade people for treats? Yes, but that's still instinct. Where is that, though? No, it's not instinct.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Yeah, it is. They're stealing glasses and trading them for treats. That's not instinct. That's a fucking criminal enterprise that I think they talk about. Right. What I'm saying is they cannot. Pull it up. Where is this?
Starting point is 01:02:10 I need to know where it is. What was it? Monkeys stealing glasses to trade for food. Yeah, it's going to pop right up. It's a racket. You've never seen this? Hold on. This is a monkey racket.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Oh, yes. Okay. This is a good video. Pull this up. This is amazing. What I'm saying is they cannot think or reflect on their actions. Oh, yeah? Because this is a criminal racket.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Where is this, by the way? He's like, okay. Uh-huh. Here's your glasses. You tell me he's not thinking about that? All he's thinking is, how can I get food? Where is this, though? Pull up a larger bit.
Starting point is 01:02:55 There's an entire area where these things just yank glasses off people. Okay, let me see. Let me see. What was your search term? Word for word, what you said. Yeah. Monkey criminal racket stealing glasses. Bali.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Bali. Which is in the, I think it's in Indonesia. Yeah, these monkeys are well known for their criminal behavior. Yeah. Oh my God. Never mind. Instagram is not letting me do this right now. Find it on YouTube.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Here we go. Mm-hmm. Get some volume. Watch this. Yeah, this is instinct, right? Ha! Sucker. These long-tailed m tracks live in Bali.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Not because of instinct. I don't know. Look at these fuckers. They are pretty cute though. Look at this, he's got it. Criminal. Devious. Totally.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Look though, they don't completely run off. He's not He's almost wearing them Notice they're not destroying them Yeah, because they need to give them back for food It's enough Criminal Monkey Enterprise Yeah, without
Starting point is 01:05:00 So you can go ahead and just say Yeah, not all animals are innocent No, I still think that they are innocent because they cannot morally reflect on their actions. Is it theft? Are they guilty of theft? It is theft. Are they guilty of theft? Yes, they are, Michael.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Yes. I mean, we're not going to try them. Wouldn't that be the opposite of innocence? Okay. Yes, technically. But we can just focus on the yes aspect. We don't need the technically. on the end of that.
Starting point is 01:05:36 What I'm saying, yeah, I'm just going to shut up that. So you're saying because they can't think about what it is that they're doing? You think they're doing that by accident? No, they're not doing it by accident,
Starting point is 01:05:46 but they're just, they recognize a pattern. Yeah. And they don't know that it's wrong. They just know they're wrong. No, they don't. They know.
Starting point is 01:05:54 They don't. They know, all they know is they get food from this. From this criminal act. Yes, it is criminal to us because we're humans and we have morals. And to them, they know they don't have morals.
Starting point is 01:06:03 That they're a monkey gang. He's the hell's angels of monkeys. Hex angels. Yeah, exactly. I feel like they have a leader and they have a little unit patch and that they know they're guilty. They don't know they're guilty. They know what they're doing is wrong. Javi does when he does something wrong.
Starting point is 01:06:27 No, he knows that he gets punished for doing something wrong, but he doesn't know that it's morally wrong. I don't punish him. He knows that you get stern if he does something wrong. I'm never stern with the weak. No. Okay. They might get less pets for a few seconds. I think these are criminal monkeys.
Starting point is 01:06:45 I think they know exactly what they're doing. They know that they're getting food. They definitely know that they're getting food. That's pretty good one to end up. Monkeys doing glasses and hats. I like that. More uplifting than. I suppose it would depend on which side of the equation you're on.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Yes. You're a monkey. Very uplifting. Yeah. I mean, they've learned not to run off with it. They run off a little bit. They don't destroy it.
Starting point is 01:07:08 And then as soon as they get food, they just drop it. Unbelievable. It's pretty sweet. I agree. Cool. What else you got for the week? Anything? Nope.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Cool. Podcast tomorrow. Indeed. All right.
