Okay, got the red smoke. Oh, west of the smoke. Okay, copy. Whist of the smoke? I'm looking at danger close now. All right, we're going. I'm pumped. You got me sick.

I feel like... Was it me? I feel like a diaper that a baby filled, that a hobo wore, and then waffle stomped through a grate. That's about what I feel like right now. I think maybe that you got me sick first. Let's see here. Let's run the math.

I have outside information that you don't know that I have. Okay. You claimed that, so you came straight back from Japan and did a little hobby watch. Yes. You then texted me. You thought that you had picked up a cold on the airplane home. Yes. I had not seen you before you texted that.

So how did I get you sick? because according to Leah, before you guys left, you had come home and felt like absolute dog shit. No, that was like two weeks before. No, not according to Leah. I mean, here's what I'm going to say. And it's not going to be much. That perhaps her information and when she is looking at the calendar and her memory isn't accurate. So you think that I left some chem biohazard for you.

Yeah. Did you sleep in the same bed? No, but that was near Huffy. Oh, so he's patient zero. A famous disease vector. He is not a famous disease vector. He's a love vector and a walking set of massive plums. Yeah, I saw your story today.

That picture came from Leah, so I just had to repost it. That's awesome. Hashtag grinding out life. He's just the struggle is real for that one. Yeah. So yeah, again, walk me through how I got you sick without seeing you before you got sick. Somehow it was through hobby. Well, no, I'm sure you left some germs around the house that I picked up.

How? Were you looking the floor? No. Have you heard of airborne diseases, pathogens? Sure. But there was a multi-day crossover where none of that was happening. Not according to Leo. I'm just going off of Leah's information.

I'm just going off of a calendar and how time and days work. Anyways, end result, we're both sick. Yeah, it's an upper respiratory little. Yeah, and then I had a really bad migraine this morning, which I never get migraines. Does it just mean a really bad headache? Yeah, I think it was a, I've never had a migraine before, but I think what I had this morning was that. How did you get rid of it? I just went home and tried to take a nap, and it went away.

Strong work. Yeah. All right. How was Japan? It was good. Was it what you thought it would be? More or less? It was, no, it was, I mean, it pretty much met my expectations and above.

Yeah, very traditional, clean, nice. A lot of nature kind of intermixed with everything, which was cool I liked. Yeah, very cool. Okay. Where's next? the bucket list? I'd like to do like a central Europe, like Germany, Czech Republic, Austria-ish area. Yeah.

And then, yeah, kind of maybe some Poland in there, but we'll see. Okay. What was your favorite thing about Japan? Today's episode is brought to you by Firecracker Farm, the maker of these amazing salt delivery devices. Those are my words, not necessarily theirs. We are rapidly approaching the holiday season, which means, means you need to be thinking about gifts.

If you want to give a gift that actually has some substance that everyone really loves, I'm going to highly recommend a product that I personally used just about every single meal. Firecracker Farm, Hot Salt. I talk about this stuff because they are a sponsor, yes. But I choose to do so because I believe it is a generally great product. It's fantastic. It's small batch. It's made with care.

And it delivers every time. Delicious is really an understatement. It has the perfect heat to flavor ratio that you can fully control and elevates everything that you put it on from eggs to steak to chicken or even something as simple as pasta. The gear is super solid. It comes in a really nice stainless steel push grinder that's well built and fills right in your hand. I have to say it's got a great tactile quality that makes it super satisfying to use and I'm telling you you want this and it makes an awesome gift. There's a small catch here and that is you're not going to find this on Amazon last minute.

They make hot salt in small batches and inventory goes very quickly. So if you want this, you need to make your move now or they're going to sell out. So you can get your gift shopping done today by heading over to firecracker.farm. Again, that's firecracker. Dot Farm and use the code cleared how to checkout for 10% off your order. Do it now and you'll be the holiday hero. You can thank me later. Firecracker.

Farm. Um, I would probably say Nara, like the, you know, like the deer park area. Anyways, there's a. No, Michael. We don't all know about the deer. Well, it's just super famous. Are you wearing a Japanese?

shirt right now? No. Okay. Let's talk for a bit about your shirt yesterday. Okay. What was the comment that I made to you? That I wore it two days in a row. Yeah. You are gross. You're like a little pig pen and you're blaming me for getting you said you don't even have good self-care. First of all, self-care. First of all, I didn't even sweat in it the first day. So in your mind, sweat is the only way that an article of clothing is made dirty? Well, no. But you're just using that as your main argument? Pretty much, yeah.

I mean, it's definitely nowhere near as dirty as it could have been. And also, I pretty much went straight from getting off the plane to dock sitting and just kept whatever I had in my suitcase. So I just was like, you know what? I didn't wash it. And it was... We have a washing machine at the house. Yeah.

Well, I didn't watch that specific article of clothing. And I had already gone through the stuff I had washed. washed. And so I added back up at that. Because I didn't want to wash the sheets in the guest room after I was done. You don't need to. I know I don't need to, but then I would feel bad making you guys do it. So I would have done in any ways. So another way you could say this is as a young man, you saw a path that would require discipline and hard work. Oh my God. And in a Instead, chose to wear the same clothing and sleep on a couch because the thought of washing sheets was a bridge too far forward.

Yeah. Yeah. And usually I do sleep on the guest room, bed, and wash the sheets every time. But I just didn't feel like doing it. So I didn't. Yeah. Julie said she came out in the middle of the night and your face was illuminated by your phone. And you're like, I've been up since 2 a.m.

I have jet lag. Yeah, I woke up at three and I could not go back to sleep. And I was just like, well, I don't even know. The other side of the clock is rough, man. When you get over to those places? Yeah. No, yeah. It took me, luckily the first day was a downpour.

So I went outside for maybe 10 seconds and I got drenched. In Japan. Yeah. And so I was like, you know what? This is fine. I'll just sleep and woke up next day, ready to go. How was the flight over? Horrible.

Were you first class? lay flat bed business of course of course yeah yeah yeah I just got way to have yeah our selection way too drunk off the free alcohol yeah so you're back in the sardine can just wedged in between a row of like 18 people yeah I was in a middle seat too which was unfortunate first off hold on when you say unfortunate when you purchased your ticket did you select a middle seat uh for that ticket I didn't have the option to select a seat what did what how did you buy your ticket through the American app.

And it didn't let you pick your seat. It was either that or it would have been like an extra $100. And I was like, eh, I don't really want to spend that money. How was that middle seat for you in comparison to a value of $100 now? I'm glad to have the $100. Really? Yeah, it was not that bad. You just said it was horrible.

The flight itself was horrible. Because you were in a middle seat. No, no, no. That's not why it was horrible. It was horrible because it was from Chicago to Tokyo. So it was like 12 hours. I slept eight hours, which was nice, but then I still had four hour flight. What did you do with your time?

Well, I tried to watch stuff on the screen, but it was a Japan Airlines plane. And so they didn't have anything good. And so. That is incredibly racist, but okay. Well, it's the truth. I mean, judgey much in late 2025. Yeah, I know. So I tried to read a little bit, but that didn't work.

And so I had my switch with me, so I tried to play some games. But it was just boring. I'm glad that you travel with a portable video game console. Yeah. How am I going to stay off board? Like my eight-year-old nephew. I'm glad that you guys share actually the same device. Glad to see it.

Smart kid. Yeah. Or there's another way to look at that, too, isn't there? Yeah, maybe. What game? Uh, it's a game called you have no, you're not going to know what it is. You don't know that. Okay, civilization.

Yeah, you're kind of right. Yeah. It's like this. Are you building stuff? Yeah, it's like a strategy game and it's fun, but for an eight, four hours, it's just not enough, you know. I feel like you don't do well at that game. No, I do pretty good. I can win pretty easily.

But like, like, I'm playing it. You're playing it. Computer or another human being? Oh, you never play against another human being. Why? Because the computer is good enough. As soon as you said strategy, I feel like this isn't going directly into your strengths or a wheelhouse.

No, it's a fun game. I feel like you would set up like a feudal system where there's just slavery as the main commerce. And you would make yourself like a concubine. You can't really do slaves in that game. I think they did that on purpose. Yeah. I think it would be pretty problematic in the big 2025.

All right. Okay. Well, you got your 2025 trip done for the year. Yeah. The podcast survived. We did some episodes. I bet it was running on fumes by the end of it. I don't even know what that would look like.

What does the podcast running on fumes look like? I don't know. But without me, I'm sure it was just a disaster. No. None of those things actually happened. The work, like, surprisingly enough, the studio was ready on time. The cameras were always ready on time. Is it?

Yes. Is it? I'm here like at least 20 minutes early every time. That is such a lie. No, it's not. You are. You wouldn't know because you're always here like three minutes late. Oh, am I?

Yeah. From walking over to get the guest? Yes. Which I can't even trust you to do that. Yeah, I would do it. But again, there's a trust issue apparently. Yeah. Based off demonstrable.

facts in past performance. But I digress. What do you have for today? Now that you're cultured. Cultured. Yeah. What do you got? Let's see. How about a FAA revokes license for the Red Bull plane swap pilots? That's not a new article, is it? I don't know. Read the date off that. Hold that thing up. So this is Luke Aitkins and Andy Farrington, I believe, are the two Red Bull guys associated with this. Both pilots, both skydivers. They're on the Red Bull Air Force. Red Bull Air Force. It's not actually a part of the Department of Defense.

I mean, I know. Or is it the Department of War now? It's hard to say. Oh, yeah. Department of War. Okay. What I'd like you to do, since you think this is a breaking topic, is read about three lines down. Okay, I see it's from 2022, but I don't know if you covered it or have seen it or what.

In depth. In depth. Just definitely covered it because I'm a breaking news kind of guy. Right. Well, exactly. Like you said, we are on a breaking news channel and this is very much not breaking news. This is actually right up our alley. This is the time.

We're about four years later. Yep. This is actually. Yeah. So I actually, I'm not going to say I know Andy and Luke. Yeah. because, yeah, Luke was the lead pilot. Very, actually, both of them are very accomplished.

Skydivers for sure. That's how I was exposed to them. And then aviators. So they modified two Cessna aircraft. It's actually really interesting what they did. Actually, can you play the video and then make sure that the listeners can see it too? This is a great here. You can also make that bigger.

Yeah. Not that I'm going to do your job or continue to do your job for you, but. Yeah, you're doing my job for like three weeks. Yeah. You know what I determined? Huh? I pay you too much. You just now, you just now figured that out?

Yeah. We're going to do half of minimum wage. Perfect. Go to the part where they jump out. Yeah, yeah. I think it's... Yeah. The heart-stopping moment.

An incredible aviation feat went wrong with the world watching. Cousins. Yeah, they're cousins. That's right. The first ever plane swap. 12,000 feet up while in free fall they were supposed to each glide from one high five this says they go by dude that is awesome so actually oh pause it right there so you see underneath the aircraft there is i'm going to call that a very large airbreak that they deploy down i also think that they put in here i don't want to call it

an autopilot system but my understanding is there was some type of system that was managing the descent of the aircraft because they basically pitched them over, exited the aircraft, and they were calling it a plane swap. So it's pretty clear what they were doing. They were going to swap airplanes. I believe one of them made it in. The other one didn't. And I think the aircraft that was kind of, I don't know, spinning or corkscrewing, however you would describe it, that's the one I think where the, we'll call it a guidance system was not functioning properly. So therefore made it, I would not approach an airplane. First off, I wouldn't attempt a stunt to begin with. Yeah. Actually, that's a direct lie. I would 100 percent, I would 100 send this. But only F you could get the aircraft to fall in a stable configuration,

which is why they did this. And obviously, they probably tested this a bunch before doing this. It's also my understanding that they went to the FAA and asked them permission to do this. So Luke is the same guy who jumped out of the airplane without the parachute on for I think it was stride gum and landed on the neck. Oh, okay. Yeah. I've seen that. So these guys, right, like not their first rode. And they're also wearing skydiving rigs. So there's two parachutes. There's a main and a reserve. I'm sure they went out to an area. where there was absolutely no chance they were going to cause any damage.

And I think they asked the FAA for permission. I think what got them is is they went ahead and executed the stunt before getting the answer. Ooh, yeah. I was going to say, well, if they asked for permission, what's the big deal? But you may not get the answer

in the time you want. Yeah. Or you may not get a definitive answer. So what ended up happen is they set it up. Obviously, this is like directly into the Red Bull wheelhouse, right? Oh, for sure. For sure.

Pitched them over, jumped out. They were on comms. can tell on their helmet. One of them made it in. One of them didn't. Parachute open for the guy who didn't. You can imagine what happened to the aircraft that hit the ground. The other one, I think, just flew off and landed. Go back to the article, if you will. I think they stripped him of their pilot's license for a year. Oh, I guess that's not that bad. I mean, well, neither of these guys. Go back up. Hold on. Yeah. Luke Aikens, the lead pilot of the stunt, had requested an FAA exemption in February from a federal law requiring the aircraft be manned by a pilot.

at all times. What a stupid law? Yeah, why would you even make that law? Do you know how he got away, if this is my understanding of jumping out without a parachute? There's a bunch of FARs or federal aviation regulations about what you have to have with you to conduct skydiving operations, but there is absolutely no FAR that says anything about jumping out without a parachute. Oh, so you so because it didn't explicitly say you couldn't. She just went for it. I mean, hey. They probably thought nobody would even consider. We call that threading the needle of bureaucracy.

Yeah. So hold on here. Okay. So he put it in. He argued in his request that he argued in his request that the plan, plane swap was in the public interest as it was meant to raise awareness for science, technology, and engineering and math fields and encourage students to pursue careers in STEM. Okay. I mean. A reach in my opinion.

Word smithing. Yeah. But yeah, I get it. Scroll down. Two days before the stunt, the FAA denied Aiken's request, saying it would not be in the public interest and cannot find the proposed operation would not adversely affect safety.

Man, there's so many ways that it would not adversely. So despite the rejections, Aiken's and partner, Andy Farrington, who are cousins, went on and attempted at April 24th while they were being live streamed online. They failed causing one of the single-engine Cessence to crash. Neither pilot was harmed. The FAA described their behaviors careless or reckless as to endanger the life or property of another, according to letters to both mandated Tuesday, notifying them of their revocations.

Scroll down. Ooh, the agency also proposed a fine, real stiff, $4,932. That seems very lenient for. Honestly, when I first saw that number, I thought there was going to be a million associated with that. But that's also unreasonable as well. Red Bull is like, yeah, we're staying out of this. This is between the FAA and the two pilots. We had nothing to do with this.

Let me see here. Keep going. Both pilots must render their pilot certificates. Immediately the FAA said, click on the actual FAA. Let's see what it says. Enhance. Okay. That's not.

Maybe it won't. Don't even bother downloading it. I think they, oh yeah, I can reverse engine. He and Farrickton cannot apply for or be issued a new airman's, I forget for one year. Oh, okay. So they pulled their pilot's licenses for a year. I believe one, if not both of them,

are owners of Skydive Capowson up in the Pacific Northwest. I think Andy flies the plane, but not necessarily just to pay his bills. So for I think people like this, it's not going to impact them incredibly. It is a part of their life. But yeah, so for a year you basically can't fly. I mean, again, seems pretty lenient.

for crashing a plane on purpose? Well, they didn't crash the plane on purpose. Well, yes. They intended being the operative word here. To exit the plane and then get back into it. I, again, I don't know them well. They wouldn't recognize me if we cross paths, but I am absolutely certain they took every measure into account

to make it as safe as possible. It's got-diving in and of itself. People will ask me if it's safe. safe. And I'm not going to say it's safe, but I'm not going to say driving is safe either because far more people get killed driving than skydiving. Four more people drive. Correct. Point being, it can be done as safely as possible. That's as far as I'll go with it. You are, you know, testing gravity, which is victorious every time I know of so far. And these guys, I mean, 10,000 jumps, minimum, if not multiples of that for both of these guys,

they're very, very, very good. There's a reason why they're on, there is a reason why they're on the Red Bull skydiving team. Oh, for sure. Yeah. So I think stuff like this is cool. Oh yeah. I think it's cool. I was bummed to hear a guy like Felix Baumgartner died. Oh yeah. And he was a part of the Red Bull Air Force too. He flew he was so the helicopter that I fly the 105 that's the I was about to say the exact same bird. It is not the same bird. They fly a civilian model of the 105 which has another letter behind it. Mine is a P model or Papa if you will. Of course. But he was an acrobatic certified pilot. did their air shows. He did obviously that crazy Stratus jump where he basically jumped from space. Oh, yes.

Broke the sound barrier with his body in free fall. That's pretty crazy. I think it's amazing. Yeah. And it was a base jumper, like all sorts of stuff. And this is what Red Bull does for their marketing. You know, was the Stratus jump safe? I would argue probably not.

And you add an ish to the end of that. But you know what they did? They did everything they possibly could to include. contracting with like old astronauts and people in mission control and working with all of them. And then you look at the residual risk and you say, what do you want to do? And these people, because this is what they do for live and they say, I want to send it. And Raibol goes awesome. I think there was billions of views on the Stratus project. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Yeah. I think there's something like eight million people watching it live. Really? Yeah. That's a crazy number.

It also might be a completely made number by me. Yeah, you should definitely. You should definitely check. What's it called a Stratus jump? Stratus, yeah. Felix Stratus live stream numbers or something like that. Okay, yeah, over 8 million people live on YouTube. You see how I can just pull out these statistical facts? It is just such a big number live.

Yeah, that it's tough to believe. Because a man was standing on the edge of a little platform in space and said, what would happen? Yeah, if I just jumped. Yeah, there's a documentary about it. Awesome documentary. Yeah, I bet. Yeah. Let's see how many views it has.

Total, I bet. Jesus. My God. Volume is still up. Do you know why it's so loud because you turned up the volume before you played this video? Yeah, because I had to. Yeah, actions have consequences, Michael. Thanks.

48 million views. That's it? Yeah, it doesn't seem very impressive. The official Red Bull page? Yeah. Are you sure? Maybe. Yeah, I think this is the...

Oh, no, here we go. 54 million, yeah. All right, whatever. Interesting. Yeah, whatever. Okay. So I am a fan of people pushing the limit like that. But sometimes it goes wrong.

The Red Bull is associated with a lot of people pushing the leading edge. And I believe it was a year or two ago. You know the Jetman dude who flies around the jetpack? Oh, yeah. So there was an original guy who did that. And I think his name is Eve Rossi or something like that. Then Dubai got involved in Red Bull had two people. It was Vince and Fred, neither of which I met either.

I'm aware of who they are. They were the same people who base jumped off in wingsuits and flew into the aircraft in Switzerland. They got into the jetpack stuff and they were ground launching those things. Standing on the ground, kicking that thing off and flying up to altitude and getting forward speed. Well, one of them, I think it was one of them, either, I'm not even going to guess. It was either Vince or Fred. Their pack malfunctioned and altitude they couldn't recover from and he died. Oh.

When you're on the front leading edge of these activities, things can get squirrely. Actually, yeah, I think I do remember that story. I deeply respect people's willingness to push those boundaries. And it really sucks when you see people who are out there pushing the boundaries suffer the consequences of that. But I think that's one of the beautiful things about the human species. Yeah, for sure. Not everybody who is willing to do that, and I think that's totally fine and acceptable. Yeah.

I am appreciative that there are people out there who think about it and go, let's send it. Yeah, see what happens. Yeah. You are not one of those people. No, not at all. I never claimed to be. I know. If you did, I would call you a liar.

As I would expect. Yeah. Okay, good. Like for you watching a horror movie on a Friday night, that might be it. That's your jet pack. Yeah, I did that with Hobby. Did he hide under the blankets and get scared? No, it wasn't really, it was American Psycho, so it wasn't really a horror movie, but...

It's a good movie. With Christian Bale? Yeah, it's really good. Yeah. Yeah, he seemed to enjoy it. Yep. What else you got? Anything else from like the early, the late 2019s?

What are you? Breaking news stories. Actually, maybe is the SeaWorld helicopter crash? Is that a... What? Pull that up. Okay, yeah. Oops, I accidentally, hold on.

I actually feel. feel like this is old too. It very well could be. How do you find these things? I actually don't remember how I found this. Instagram maybe. Okay. SeaWorld helicopter crash.

I used to live down. Remember we talking about the one in San Diego? No, I think this is in Australia. Okay. Let me turn the volume up. Oh. Video from inside the helicopter involved in a, hold on. Two years ago.

Okay, so we're actually getting closer. We're getting closer to modern day. Are we prepared to discuss something this recent? I do not want to put out bad information. We just want to drop it. Wait until we get more facts. Get to the point where the helicopter... Okay.

...to a terrifying nightmare. Pilot Michael James tapped on the shoulder by a passenger, seemingly unaware another helicopter was on a collision course. The rotor blade smashed through the cockpit. What? Last shattering over passengers. Everyone on this helicopter survived. On board four tourists from New Zealand and a woman from WA.

The pilot managing to land with catastrophically... Holy. ...whole unfil from below, Ron and Tracy Dreadlack. They were walking their dog just 10 minutes before the horror unfolded, almost directly above them. With no concern for his safety, Ron was one of the first of many who raced to help. Soon it all happened, watch the fall out of the sky.

Okay. Isn't that crazy? Can you find the picture of the front of the helicopter that survived? Yes, yes. I mean, I feel like I understand what happened here. Yeah, right there. Holy. It's crazy that nobody.

So the pilot was flying from the left too. So all of that damage you're seeing is on the pilot side. Windshield gone. I mean, I would imagine the reason that the other helicopter nobody survived is that the main rotor blade blades came apart. So it lost control. Oh, yeah. And when helicopters do that, they have the flight characteristic of a lead, you know, balloon.

Yeah. I. Holy cow. Yeah. Did you see in the video after the guy tapped him, he braced? Yeah. He's like, meanwhile, the pilot with his,

notice the type of eyewear. Yeah. Mirror aviators is just up there just like, he's like, yeah, we're good. It is so wild to me. There is so much air above our heads in the round earth that we live on, Michael. But flying things collide more often. It's honestly, I can make an analogy to Jiujitsu.

There's like four people on the mat at the gym and somehow they end up kicking each other in the face. There's all the mat space, but it just is this gravitation. Yeah. That is insane. And that only can be equated to pilot error. Yeah, I'm trying to find there's an outside view of it. I don't know if it actually shows the crash. It might show the helicopter impacting the ground.

Yeah. But apparently an antenna failure played a role in that. Yeah, an antenna and an eyeball failure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you can have, oh, God. Okay. So, hold on, let me. It looks like an EC-135, which is basically a,

E.C.130 B4 helicopters operating in scenic flights on the Gold Coast in Queensland contains 28 safety factors that provide valuable lessons to flight crews, operators and other. Oh. This port safety bureau's final report into the mid-air collision involving two Eurocopter. No way. I mean, that's all you need to see right there. One. Okay, but the aircraft coming in, the one just to the viewers up and to the right, the pilot is sitting on that side. Right.

So, okay, yes, technically should have, I've never been up front in one of those type of helicopters. I don't know if there's something blocking their view. But the pilot, they're the same type of helicopter, the helicopter taking off, and it should have a view. And that's not some, that's not a crazy extreme angle. That is directly in your field of view. And again, you might be busy. You might, there might be like a left hand turnout, which is normal here. So they'd probably be looking to the left.

I don't care if there is no antenna on the aircraft. All of these systems are great. but and they talk about this when it comes to emergencies aviate, navigate, and then communicate. You need to maintain positive control of the aircraft. Holy cow! You would think that that can't happen.

I'm telling you it's... Yeah, with all the space in the sky. And somehow it's like, somehow we have to collide. Yeah. Which, I mean, yeah, nobody, the rotor blade, I mean, the only reason that the helicopter is higher was continuing to fly as that the main rotor disc stayed intact.

Yeah. And where the rotor blades impacted, and I'm sure came apart on the other one, was hitting the windscreen. It's crazy that the blades stopped, like, feet, probably a foot from massacring the pilot, at least. Well, judging from... He probably hit the outer edge of the rotor disc. If they were actually...

It might have been like a... I don't even know. I don't want to hypothesize. If they had a lot of closing speed, it would have probably gone through. That would have been, I mean, holy cow. That is. I feel like you can see right there where it's sheared through the, uh, yeah. I don't even know what to say about that.

I mean, so that you can see the control stick. Yeah, the cyclic. That's what the pilot is using. I mean, wow. Just about everything forward of that bend and the cyclic is destroyed. and you can tell you landed on the beach. You're going to have none of your instruments are going to work. After that, you're going to have to be emerging.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking that maybe your insurance. Mostly because most of your instruments are now in the water somewhere. But yeah. Okay. That should terrify people. Yeah. You know what?

And what sucks about that is. So that was a tour operation. And so, and I don't know it's, well, this is not Australia too. So I don't understand the Australian licensing system or how they, like, we have the FAA here. I don't know what the Australian equivalent is. But to put this over into the. U.S. you're going to have pilot requirements, currency requirements, training, all of that stuff, operational procedures. And when you go as a participant in this, you're paying money and there's

an immense amount of trust that who you're paying money to is going to be qualified and capable. And I bet you both of these pilots work. But this is how fast something like that can go wrong. And man, that is gnarly. That's crazy a video like that exists. I know. Yeah, from the inside of the cockpit. it. Yeah, it's a pretty getting up. Insane video. Yeah, get some. Good find.

Yeah, and I think if you ignore that and are not paying attention to that, you're probably taking a few steps towards catastrophe. I think complacency probably has killed more people than anything else.

Yeah, probably. You know. So this is very recent. So we're actually getting, we're getting up there. 2024. Yeah. I know. And it kind of just goes to show about the age limits that need to be in place for Congress.

Okay. I'm going to not spoil it for you. You may have already seen. I'm sure you have seen it. Okay. Oh, God. You know, it's interesting. Pause at.

You see how he let go the guy's hand and was walking just a little bit? But before he actually fell, he grabbed it again. Mm-hmm. I wonder if he felt it coming. Like he is actually at a place where he physically doesn't have the stamina to walk on his own. That would not surprise me. Play that again? Yeah.

I mean, obviously he just got ambushed by a flat piece of concrete, but. So he lets go. He knew that was coming. Yeah. Probably. I mean, I don't know. I don't want to speculate. So this is an easy one where you could just, you could take this in a variety of different directions, but.

what I actually feel when I see a video like that, I feel really bad for the guy. I don't care what he believes politically. That is, nobody wants that to happen to them, right? Nobody wants, how many views does that have? This one actually not that many. Okay, good. There are, well, there are other videos that have.

Yeah, well, there's also videos of him kind of just locking up in public full vapor lock for about 20 seconds. It's the same thing I said about Biden. You could absolutely despise who the person is or you could love who the person is. I'm just looking at it through the lens of a human being that isn't doing well and they're on a national stage. And I don't think, I mean, is their choice, do whatever the hell they want to do? But like, that sucks. I worry about my dad when I see stuff like that.

This is actually what it reminds me of. Yeah. And, you know, again, people can make that as political as they want to. But, man, we need a change. I mean, the last two podcasts we did. We're talking about they're not out yet. to be out in a couple weeks, but talking about the political system, we have got to make some changes, man. We have got to get this, and maybe this speaks to this broadly. And again, I'm not trying to harp on Mitch McConnell because it's clearly he's not doing too well from a health perspective.

And honestly, all I would want for somebody is like, man, dude, turn the reins of power over. Yeah. Watch as many sunsets as you can with a pinia colada in your hand. Yeah. And enjoy the single digit years that you have left before you're eating jello in a nursing home. home. Yeah. Well, who is the, wasn't there, uh, some senator or something that died in office, she didn't retire or anything. She died while she was sitting in office. I don't remember who it was. Do you mean like in, like in Congress? No, no, no, no, no, like on the floor, but like that was her,

she was actively working and it's like. Was it Feinstein? Oh, maybe it was. Yeah. Look at it. And again, I'm, I'm a little bit outside of my skis on that one. I know she served until she was 142. Yeah. What was her name, Diane? Yeah, Diane Feinstein. I believe she was a representative from California. Yeah. Senator 19-9-2 until her death in 2023.

Yeah. California, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like... I mean, Pelosi is what, 84? Possibly.

85. Yeah, that's how calendars work. I... We have to make... I mean, I'm closer to that age. than you are. What are your thoughts on seeing the elected representatives of our government? So we have an 85-year-old. How old is Mitch McConnell? How is who? Mitch McConnell. Probably around the same age. And obviously, age doesn't, you know,

impact people incredibly equally, but you get to a certain point. 83. Okay. I mean, what are your thoughts? Well, I mean, my first initial thought is it's not representative of the country just demographically. Yeah, from an age demographic for sure. Like, that's the whole point of having representatives is that they are a fairly, what I want to say, homogenous representation of your entire populace. And right now it's very skewed towards older individuals. God, we need to get younger blood in there. Yeah, we really do.

Like, it's actually insane. I wonder what the average age of Congress. Yeah, I was just going to ask you to Google that. But average age of congressmen and senators, before you hit enter, what is our guess? I'm going to say 57 Hugh piece of shit

I was going to say 55 I will closest without going over okay I'll say one because I just beat you yeah okay let's see

unless it's 58 57.9 so actually you won oh 57.9 for the House and 63.9 for the Senate the average age of all is about 59. I mean, okay, so there's arguments for that.

You have life experience, which hopefully comes with some wisdom. You're at a different phase of your life. But, dude. The average age of the U.S. is 38.7 years. Yeah. So 21, 22 years. This is fantastic. Keep doing the math.

So it's like 24. years over the average age of the average American. If we do not, I mean, let's look at aviation. Let's say you're a Delta pilot. Shout out to the Delta pilots because I fly on Delta because they're the best. I actually just picked them years ago and I've always stuck with you. I'm an American guy myself. Are you?

Yeah, I just got their credit card. So I was like, I guess I'll go. Yeah. The four flights you've done in your life, an American guy. Yeah. Yeah. Forget that you've,

you have a total of 68 sky miles. 69 after this trip. Totally. Yeah. It's the number you've been aiming for your entire life. I'm going to keep it there. Yeah. You time out at a certain point.

You could be the best pilot in the world and they say you are retired. Yeah. Because there are performance requirements. Yeah. And I'm not trying to be, what would it be, ages to say that old people can't do things. Has anybody ever watched an episode with my dad? Yeah. There are things he can't do.

Yeah, absolutely. Effectively stand from a seated position without making a noise that is unrecognizable. He's like a breaching whale or broaching well. I mean, I am to the point where I think there should be an age limit for. That's what I'm getting to. Like there needs to be, we, there, there needs to be an age limit and there has to be. an amount of time that is a maximum that you can serve in that job. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Full stop. Are we are so screwed, I think. I mean, I think we're already pretty screwed. I think it is recoverable. I'm not willing to give up on it yet, but I think it is recoverable. And I do agree with so the guests we had yesterday, then again, it won't come out for a while, but he's running for Congress in eastern Washington. He's talking about how as the polls continue to,

be polls, which I made the point of, I don't think they polling survived 2024. Yeah. 2024 was a rough year. I'm surprised it survived 2016 because that was a crazy year for polls. It hasn't been a great run for people who make their living doing polls. However, what the polls are showing, take this for what it's worth, or completely throw it away, is that more and more people are being drawn to the middle. And by that, they are just saying they don't feel well represented in totality by either

the Democratic or the Republican Party. So they would describe themselves more as centrists. I find that in my day-to-day talking with people, I find that to bring true to me. I could be wrong, but I feel like that is the case. And if that is the case, I do think we still have the chance to make a change. Yeah, I hope so. I mean, I think that certainly applies to me and a lot of people my age, where it's like, Do you guys even talk politics?

Sometimes. But I mean, a lot of the conversation is like, what are we even doing? Like, I don't even care what political party you are. You're literally a lot of the things you're doing are just anti-U.S. citizen. Like, we're both right and left. It just is so not representative of the actual values of you, the typical American. That it's like, why? it doesn't make any sense to me.

So I, and that's a pretty common sentiment. So I think hopefully. Take for you, and this is obviously anecdotal, but let's say your social circle, what do you think it would take for you guys to A, pay more attention to politics or be a step even further,

get involved in politics? What do you think it would take? Or is there anything that would get, and obviously, you can only speak for your, social circle. Or is it already too far? You think that nothing would

emboldened them or light of fire under their ass where they say enough is enough, we're taken over? And by that, I mean, get involved with, you know, going through the process. Yeah. Yeah, your generation is not taking over except for a Nintendo Switch game of civilization. I would have to agree with you on that point.

I don't even know. I mean, how about? those in power involving us in another protracted war. Oh my God. Do you think that that would do it? Yeah, I mean, I think so. I mean, what did I hear? Something about Trump saying he wants to go back to Afghanistan.

And I'm just like... I think he said he wanted to take the Bogram Air Base back. Yeah, something... Which strategically is actually a very important airbase and they are idiotic for the withdrawal plan that they executed. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, that's... So I don't know if I'd call that a protract war, but let's say, okay, using Iraq, in Afghanistan as an example. It's going to be Venezuela, because that's actually in the

Iran. Oh, similar neighborhood. No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. And they say we're underband. Time for a draft. Fuck that. I'm not going to go fight in the desert for what. Like what are you going to go to Canada? I don't know. I don't know what go to Canada. I mean, that's next on the list. Again, go to the question. Would that be enough do you think for your generation to go? no. We are going to get involved and we are going to completely flood the zone in the political environment and try to get elected and change policy. Yeah, I think so. It's just like there's so much wrong here that we need to be worrying about. I just cannot fathom why we are using resources in this hypothetical scenario to go and fight somebody who

I don't see the benefit of waging another 20-year war against somebody that realistically can't threaten us in any way. Yeah. And again, you could go down the rabbit hole of why it would start. I'm just trying to think of matches that could be the spark or light for your generation to get truly energized and just say enough is enough. Yeah. I mean, I'm already in my head at the enough as enough point. I just don't know what to do about it. Like it doesn't seem, again, it keeps going back to this.

It seems like we can't vote our way out of it because all the vote are all of the representatives. Not with the current system that seems to be in place and the people that are in place. Yeah. They would have to vote on it. All of our representatives don't answer to us. They answer to lobbyists. The way to vote out of it would be is you have to flush the toilet with the people that are in office. Yeah, I 100% agree with that is get everybody out of there.

And you would lose some good people by doing that, but it may be the only avenue by which anything is accomplished. Yeah, I think so. It's just so that's that, yeah, I think that's the only solution is a fresh start because, but then you, it's so tough because then you still have the whole ecosystem around it. Because there are the elected representatives, but then there's, if you get the, I think if you did a fresh start and by now, by at this point, I'm sure you and I are being absolutely destroyed in the comments by our lack of knowledge of the political system. I can imagine. Because we're just waving magic wands. It's a fresh start. Yeah.

We're having a thought experiment. Yeah, this is 100% of thought experiment. Like me, when I tell people, I'm a theoretical physicist because sometimes I think about physics theoretically and I don't know anything about it. Emphasis on the theoretical part. That's what I'm saying. If I were to spend some time thinking about physics, it would of course be theoretical because I'm an idiot. But that makes me a theoretical physicist. Yeah.

You know. So. I know what this is. If the new people, if you got a fresh start, they would be able to carve away at the infrastructure that is supporting what was left behind. Yeah. And ideally, not be influenced by what's left behind. That would be the point of the fresh start. Yeah.

Is people that actually... It would need to be a fresh start to the, we'll say the community of the electorate. And then also they would need to take an objective look at how we got to the place. Like lobbyists is a great example. What did the guess yesterday describe it as? Or you described it as legalized bribery. Yeah, 100%. That's literally what it is.

I'm a huge fan of this, say the quiet part out loud bill, which is a bill that I had the idea for yesterday, which will never happen. But instead of saying things like lobbying, you have to say legalize bribery. It is actually by doctrine, you will go to jail for life if you say bribery. Now, I don't know much about our judicial system, and I feel like that is an unreasonable punishment, but I think people get the point. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm very frustrated with the whole thing. It's just, it's frustrating because I, you know, I grew up, always being told you're living in the greatest country in the world.

You have. For clarity, you are. Right. But you grow up as like a Midwest American child with these rose-colored glasses on thinking that America can do no wrong. The greatest country ever. It's all of this stuff. And then you start learning everything about America's past, about the current state of American politics. And it really is kind of a gut punch to be like, man, this is not the country I thought it was.

You need the gut punch, though. I think everything you described is essential. You cannot look at the sunrise without looking at the shadow that is thrown by the sunset. Yeah. It is, first off, I would challenge anybody to find for me a nation that has ever existed that has a perfect non-checkerboarded past. Right. I agree. I agree.

Our country has made some galactic mistakes. But I also think we have course corrected quickly and we are doing our best. and we are doing our best to learn from our mistakes. But it is a mistake, I think, to paint or to put on the rosy glasses. I think you can do both. I think you can have an immense amount of pride in who you are and what you've done while still acknowledging the shortfalls that you have had. And that is a much more holistic view than we're the best ever.

We've made no, like I don't think you're setting anybody up. If you apply that to anything, tell a young man or woman, marriage is the best. It's always perfect. It's always going to work out. You're going to shatter their sense of the world when they get out there and realize that what? Right now, over 50% of Americans or adult Americans will experience a divorce of those that got married. Right. So you can extrapolate this and push this all the way out. I think you're better off openly and honestly acknowledging the shortcomings while also celebrating the things that demonstrably this country does do. I do believe we are still the greatest nation in the world.

Are we perfect? No. Are we ever going to be perfect? No. Could we do better? Oh, God, yes. But there is a reason that people from all over the world will do almost anything they can to get here. Yeah.

It has nothing to do with you. Because you're just frustrated. Probably driving people away, actually. They don't even need a border wall. We just put up silhouette pictures of your face. They're like, oh, God. We're not moving here. They have gingers.

Run. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What else you got? Canadian jailed for Holocaust denial. Come again? Oh, yeah. I thought you were going to ask me about Justin Trudeau and Katie Perry.

No, to be honest. That's actually two breaking. That's currently going on right now. That's currently going on. We cannot talk about it. This actually is pretty recent as well. Okay. Is this the right one?

Let me start this one. Yes, okay. Where is my video? I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. Calm down. All right.

Hit pause. Yep. If you were to just to see that picture and somebody asked you what country, do you think this person was from? Honestly, what do you think you would say? UK. I would say Canada. Yeah. Same thing.

It just, and I don't know why. That is a Canadian man right there. Yeah. All right. Go ahead. guilty of hate crimes for anti-Semitic propaganda will receive jail time. 51-year-old Kenneth Pollan was charged in June after a seven-month investigation by North Bay Police. He faced charges of the willful promotion of Haiti, these Jewish people, and the willful

promotion of anti-Semitism by condoning, denying, or downplaying the Holocaust during the court case. First Amendment is an amazing thing. Yep. And I have said this so many times. The answers to the tests on a lot of these policies are already out there. Yeah. And I hope that people are paying attention. Do I agree with anti-Semitism? No, absolutely not. Do I agree with somebody denying the Holocaust?

No, absolutely not. Should you be jailed for being a moron? No. And this, my concern with this is that this drives ideologies like this underground. Oh yeah. As opposed to, and I'm not a fan of being on the receiving end of the information, but I like to know where idiots are. Yeah. Because at least then I can make an educated choice or maneuver if I want to.

I mean, okay, how far does this go? Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, just using this exact example right here. Do they take that a step further or a lateral and because somebody has the belief that a trans man is not a biological man. Does this apply? Because that become, you know what I mean? Where does this go?

Where does it end? Does it shift based off the sentiment, the flag of the sentiment of the popular narrative, the people who are in charge? I don't know the answer, but I don't like that at all. No. And that's why you need a foundational document

like the Bill of Rights. What does Canada have? Do they just have a maple syrup recipe? They have a constitution that must not be very robust because if you're getting jail for speech. I could ask Connor. She would know. Being our token Canadian, also the person single-handedly responsible for the coffee shop surviving. Thank you, Connor.

Supreme Law of the Land, it is not a single document as composed of written action. Is that what it's called? Because we know, which is the Supreme Law of the Land. that would be a very cool title of the document that would be the Canadian constitution actually let's just pull that one we'll yeah I'll read it here or you can read it okay this is not having a yeah Canada was created by an act of the parliament of the United Kingdom called the British North American Act in 1867 now known as the Constitution Act of 1867 United in the British colonies of the United Province of Canada Nova Scotia and New Brunswick

that's right they're still tied to the UK yeah yeah they're still part of the what do they call it, the crown, I think, or... I don't know what they call it. I don't know what they called either. So that's actually interesting because I wonder if they are then beholden to whatever the UK uses. Which I'm not... I would love to sit here and say that I was so worldly and knowledgeable that I knew exactly what the UK uses, but I do not. No, Canada does not use the UK constitution directly instead it has its own unique constitution.

Okay. Yeah, so... But anyways... But again, this... I'll go back to this. What they're doing, and I can't sit here and say I'm familiar with every detail of their constitution.

I'm also not going to sit here and say that I'm utterly familiar with every detail of the U.S. Constitution. They are obviously chipping it away at people's ability. It's basically, if they had a First Amendment, what they are doing is they're slicing layers off of it until it's probably going to become unrecognizable.

Yeah. I see a world where stuff like that becomes weaponized, Yep. I see a war like that where it becomes out of control. How do, who determines what is hateful? Whoever's in power, which is why it's so dangerous to have hate speech laws. I mean, what is hate speech? Whatever, whoever's in power thinks is hateful. It's literally subjective, which is a horrible idea.

What are we looking at here? Oh, my God. So this is the actual, the guarantee of rights and freedoms, which it seems like is not so much of a guarantee. T. Okay, hold on here. Fundamental freedoms to be freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication. What? So, so that would mean, that would lend me to believe that whatever law was written, like I said, is taking a microderm. abrasion little like razor blade up against this. Yeah. And then if it's not challenged and that becomes the precedent, I think you are on a very, very slippery slope. Which I would imagine to even put that guy in jail,

you would need to run through this little checklist and see, is this, is any of what he's doing is protected? You would think so. And if they did do that and then said, nope, not protected, they just completely shit all over this. or wipe their butt with it. Both, I would say.

Because why, if this was paper, you wouldn't shit on the paper. It's an expression. It's not to be taken literally. Well, I'm working my way through if I had paper and had to go to, like, you know what I mean? Yeah. You could really find yourself in an unwanted situation if you shit on your paper. Did you get in a different bus than all the other kids? Yes, I was in the bus that had flavor windows.

Okay. Well, that makes a lot of sense. You don't ever think about stuff like that? No, no. Have you ever been out of, well, I'm just about to ask you, you've ever been out in the woods, which I don't even know if you've ever left city streets in your life. Jesus.

And not brought toilet paper with you? Oh, no, I have. How'd you solve it? Well, shrubbery, various shrubbery. What is wrong with you? Your shirts both have sleeves. Oh, no, I am not using my shirt. bro. I have to put that back on my body. Oh. Okay. I want to pause. This is exactly what I have to deal with every day for the listeners.

I said his shirt has sleeves, which clearly anybody with an IQ that is above what's on our thermostat currently would know that I mean you take the sleeves off the shirt. I'm not going to ruin a shirt. Okay. So you want to get poison. Ivy on your asshole. We don't even have poison ivy in Montana. Oak then. Whatever it may be. Mr. Outdoors.

We don't even have poison ivy. I'm not allergic to either anyway, so I can roll in this stuff. You are 100% allergic to poison ivy. No, I am not. Everybody is. Google away. You want to bet your next month's salary? No.

So I thought, you tuck that dick right between your legs again, boy. No. No, not everyone in most people. So you have, you are no 100% you're not allergic to poison ivy. Yeah. Do you know how I know? Would you be willing to test that? Yeah. Okay. How do you know? Because sometimes when you're in a military unit, you go for real long walks.

And sometimes it's at night and you don't know what you're walking through. And in the morning, out of the 16 people, 15 are covered in hives from the poison. Ivy and poison oak. And I'm standing there like, what's wrong with you? What happened to you guys? Yeah. What are you guys doing here? That's hilarious.

Yeah. That's actually really funny. So yes, I am 100% positive that I do not have an allergic reaction to poison Ivy poison oak. That's good to know. Yeah. So again, don't even. We don't have poison ivy in Montana.

Good for you. We don't need that because you could put your shirt back on again if you wiped your ass with it because somehow that is where you leapt to. Yeah. Why would you think that you would put the article of clothing back on? Well, I wouldn't, which is why I wouldn't use it. I would still want to wear it. So I wouldn't use it.

Look down at your left shoulder right now. What's that? Look at your left shoulder right now. Do you see the seam on the sleeve? Yes. I don't want to. I'm not going to ruin my shirt. I don't want to.

I could just as well use leaves or branches. Just nice, dry, crunchy leaves. It's not going to be comfortable, but you're shitting in the, the woods. It's uncomfortable anyways. I wish I had a picture of when I was hog hunting with Evan Hafer. He just cut off the entire like front of his shirt. It looked like a Wolverine had got like what? Why did you come out here wearing a belly shirt? Why is your midriff exposed? You would rather go with a random collection of forest floor droppings than cut the sleeve of a shirt off? Yeah. I mean, if it was a

not a nice shirt. I would maybe consider. Why would you be in the woods in a nice shirt? A shirt I cared about, I guess. A shirt you cared about. Yes. Do you have an emotional attachment to the clothing that you wear? No, but if I like a certain shirt, I'm not going to use it for toilet paper. Do you have a credit card? Yes, I have a credit card. Could you get another one? Yeah, but what if I can't find that shirt anywhere else? I just... Your life will continue to go on. Yeah, and it will, and it will continue to go on if I use leaves as toilet paper. This is what I have to deal with. I am so happy that people are seeing behind the curtain.

Typically, though. And it's me that you asked if I was on the different bus going to school. Typically, though, I do have toilet paper every time I need two shit in the woods. Prairie shits are some of the best ever. I'm personally not a fan, but. What is your issue? I just, I just don't like it.

All right. I watched a man one time shit while running. Okay. Where was this? Buds. Okay. Actually, I could see that,

I guess. Four mile run. We were running north towards the Hotel Del Cornautto. The park of vehicle, you turn around. He, like, his gate was a little messed up,

and then he shook his leg and the fucking turd. Gross. But, I mean, imagine, like, you've got to be admitted. Yeah, no. I'm going to say probably still a sub eight minute pace. Nice. That actually

probably made him a little faster. Loss of weight. I don't know if the weight had anything to do with it. Maybe his stomach felt better. He had neither paper nor leaves or a shirt to use at that moment. I guess he took care of that later. Kept on going. Yeah. That's definitely a problem for later when you're on a time drawn, I feel like. Yeah. You know what I actually hadn't thought about this. Somebody else had to deal with that problem. Who? Some beach, random beach goer. Oh, oh, yeah. Here's a good place to put our chair down. What is that?

What the hell? Sounds awful. Okay. Would you ever use one of your socks? Oh, probably not because then you would be barefoot in your boot. Oh. That seems very... Oe they.

How terrible that must be. I feel like you would get blisters pretty easily. I didn't say you were 50 miles deep in the backcountry. Okay. No. Your generation is doomed. Most of my generation has not even shit in the woods. I mean, I'm not saying that's a qualification that everybody is.

There's no merit badge associated with this. Like, you know, there's no like, or the scouts are they three? We have an Epstein Island here in Montana. Did you know that? What? Yeah, it's the Boy Scout Island down by the south end of the Flat Lake. She put two and two together there. I didn't even know there was a Boy Scout Island.

Yeah, I fly over it in the helicopter sometimes. Wow. Do you see a lot of activity? Only in the summertime. You want a documentary that'll below your hair back? Watch the documentary about the Boy Scouts and what they covered up. I can really imagine.

That will make you want to take, it'll make you want to go find those people and get the most blunt, dull object humanly possible and spend a little bit of a load in time with them. Yeah. No, I can all I mean, it's so crazy. So many organizations like that are so predatory. It actually makes sense.

Yeah.
