Welcome. Thousand. We have done a lot. Do you have any idea what number we're at? Kyle knows. Kyle? Over 300. Really?

In total. For those that are tuning in for the first time. That sounds low. 300 does? I think we've done 300 regulars. We have done about 180 regulars. Got it. And you know what?

What? 180 on bonus pods as well 360 that's almost 400 that's one for every day your gene is tucked into your sock fella that is the look oh wow he did it on purpose they're doing and Bieber's doing it no they're not the neighbor's not doing it I got a friend

he's untucking it what do you guys think of uh like a 45 year old dude with the broccoli haircut no oh the one that everyone under 30 has yeah yeah I just commented on this is it still pop it was like really big for like a week it's the only

haircut that exists. Kyle, pull up the broccoli here. Pat's got like a nephew, so you know, like he probably has it. Bro, I see all these fucking high school kids whenever I go to the store and they come in droves. Yeah. It's a Starbucks

and 100% of them have this cut. See, I liked... It seems like a nightmare. But I liked the haircut at first until everybody started getting it. But are they going to get perms? How are they doing this? I don't know. Well, because like I, my hair wouldn't

grow this way. Right. So like that kid I think has straight hair and I think he's doing some permage. There's not, I don't believe there's anything I could do to make my hair look like that unless I put an hour into it. You would look like it. It's just, I think if you're over 33, you look like a dumb shit. I think it's like bad for your career if you're 45 and you have a broccoli haircut. People would laugh. People are sitting in like a business meeting. Well, I did the trendy mullet thing for a little bit. What's a mullet? Yeah, you were able to get away with that. I thought it was okay, But I also justified it because I was playing rugby, you know, and I was like, oh, I need a mullet for rugby. Sure, that makes perfect.

I still don't know what a mallet is. Is it a mallet? You know what I'm saying. Shut up. Here it. Look how bad this is. I'm sending it to Kyle right now. I saw this photo.

And what's really embarrassing is this is like when I got fellowed into the Explorers Club, which is like a very high-end prestigious institution. Did you get a call? I tried to air drop it to you. We all do dumb stuff. Institution. He'll pull it up. Let's keep moving. This anyway, Forrest, how many shirts do you have that have lobster on them?

Dude, I've turned over a new leaf about this. I don't know if I've mentioned this. Okay. I'm done wearing, I'm done wearing boring shirts. Okay. I'm done with it. I'll wear the odd plain T-shirt. Oh, there's my terrible haircut.

Just zoom in on that head for a second. It's basically the broccoli haircut flat, though. I thought that looked cool. It doesn't look that bad. No, it does. It really does. This is very, very, like, 80s and weird. What is this pose?

What are you doing there? I was when I got, I fellowed at the Explorers Club, and so that that's the sign out front. And I was, like, pretty honored. And then I saw this photo and went to my bar where I was like, just fix it. You're like, end of this. Yeah. Yeah. She can't make the sides grow in.

I don't care. Yeah. Just spray it with some of that fake hair. Yeah. So back to the shirt, cue. Life is too short to wear boring clothes, I've decided. Okay. So I just every animal print shirt, I could list a whole,

I've been down a whole rabbit hall. This is part of my insomnia from the injury I talked about on the bonus pod. Yeah. Dude, I found all these brands.

Roosevelt's waggle. It's not sponsor. Not sponsor. Not sponsor. Raised by coyotes. Don't buy it. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just telling the,

the brosters, calm down. These are all brands that make really fun animal print shirts. And they're mostly golf brands. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not pushing these brands.

I'm just telling you, I went out and bought all these brands. And now that's it. I'm just an animal shirt guy. I mean, that's cool. A fun shirt. So you had told me that whenever you do a news hit, you wear like a brightly colored shirt.

I've been trying to more and more. Yeah. And now on stage too, like when I do public speaking. Got it. It's just like you always see the guy in the button down or the blazer or the, you know, the colored shirt. Standard black shirt. Yeah, like fuck it. I'm an animal guy.

I did my first news hit last week. Congratulations. So I went on NBC News because a series that just came out. With Goddy. Yeah. Goddy. Gabby's my four-year-old. Daughter.

She doesn't have a new show. Not yet. But, but, but, but, and so I have this like, cool pink,

uh, short sleeve button down. And, uh, find this, Kyle. And, uh,

yeah, no, I put it on. Uh-huh. And I was about to leave the house and I was like, if I wear this, the only thing I'm going to be thinking about is pit stains. And you would have,

you definitely, and so I chickened out and, uh, you only said like a total of five words. So it would have been, really weird for you to be... Oh, you saw it? Yeah, of course, I watched it. How did you know? How did you see it? I didn't even tell you. I know everything, bro.

I watch Gotti on the reg. You know what's weird is a lot of people saw it. I got a ton of texts. Type in Gotti. G-A-D-I. Here, I got it, Kyle. I got it. If you were worn that pink shirt, though, and the guy you're with, who was on death row, which is super interesting, by the way. Wait, what?

You were hanging out with a guy on death row? He is a, he was a murderer who was on death row. We were filming this documentary for three years. And during the course of it, he went from sentenced to death on death row to out of prison and I'm hanging out with him at the beach. You've told me this story. I know the story. Yeah. So I chikened out and I wore a black sweater because I was like, I'm an armpit sweater.

Oh, yeah. And if I have giant fucking pit stains on the news, I'm not going to be thinking about what I'm saying. The problem is now you look like what you were just talking about. No. No. No. No. I don't know how to say this without being offensive.

You can be offensive. Someone with a sharp, pointy nose. No, you look like a white guy trying to be a black guy. Really? I don't get that. Kyle, you see it? No. What?

He's wearing the, he's wearing the nice, dark, dark cashmere sweater with no t-shirt underneath. Oh, I never go tea under a sweater, boy. Bro, you look, you look like you're playing the NFL. Sweet. No, it's not in a good way. Like, you're trying to do it. Oh, like a kicker. This seems very normal.

This is a very normal outfit. Maybe I just don't know how to do it. grass. I noticed you're wearing the exact same shoes, though. Yeah, I just, I just got these. Tight pants, very tight pants. Real tight. Very tight. Well, dude, because there's a, there's an angle where the camera comes around here and I wanted to show some cockpals. Nice. You put anything in there to beef it up? Well, like a sausage or just a bunch of paper towels.

Crinkly ones. Dude, I was waiting. So it sounded like a diaper when I was walking. For the whole interview, I am like, the, the main thing for me is like, why is this guy not, in jail. He was on death row and now he's sitting here and they don't talk about it until like the last 30 seconds and that's all I could think about the whole time was like this super interesting story he's talking about but why are

how are you how did you go from death row to being not on you know on this set right now and then they finally address it and I was just like but dude he seems like the most interesting man in the world he's really interesting is the documentary done it's out yeah premiered uh this over the weekend

two hour premiere and then two hour coming up this coming weekend. What channel? Really good. Peacock. Oh, nice. Yeah. Peacock.

Kyle, press the button. What's in the news? Are you guys drinking today? Can you guys have some... Yeah, absolutely. I'm going to start with a magic. Real quick, before For us gets into this fascinating news story that you must stay tuned for. Must.

You mentioned that you had said something on the bonus pot about your insomnia. Uh-huh. If you're not a subscriber on Spotify, we do four extra podcasts every single month. So if you're one of those people who's like, why do you only do two a month? Yeah. I wish you did more. They're also a lot more just intimate too. Intimate.

We get hammered. We watchalongs. Yeah, we do lots of say all the stuff. You can't say publicly. It's uncensored. We call it the Wild Times underground. Also, it's the single best way to support the podcast, which we greatly appreciate. Sure do.

And I talked about my terrible influence. that I've been going through for the past week that I'm not going to tell you about here. Your balls still aren't healed, are they? They never will be. We'll keep tripping over them. All right, what's in the news? A really cute fish. That's what's in the news.

Biologists discovered surprisingly cute deep sea fish species. Guess where? Guess where? In the desert, where everything gets discovered in the Pacific. That's true. But when we think of new fish discoveries, we don't usually think of right here in California. No, you don't. Because there's a lot of people swimming at all times.

At all times. And way too much research. I mean, I shouldn't say that, but tons of research. And, you know, people are looking here.

But believe it or not, the adorable pink, bumpy snail fish has just been found 130 miles off the coast of California at 11,000 feet deep in the Monterey Canyon. Kyle, pull up a picture of that sucker. Let's see this guy.

He's adorbed. Oh, yeah. I mean, you said cute fish. I didn't believe it. Still not as cute as the blob fish, though. It's much cute. It's kind of like a small blob fish.

Look at those lips. I have a weird thing about kissing animals on the lips. You do. Yeah. Well, this has... Am I a BCI-D guy? You French kiss your dog regularly. I do.

I lift his, pull his, like, lip back and kiss it. It's really gross. It's really weird. But this, this, like, really cute little pink fish with bright blue eyes. Looks like a stuffed animal. Yeah. But it has, like, lip filler. Yeah, exactly.

It does. That's why... It looks like the thing. What's the thing? The teddy bear thing at the moment? Labibou. LeBubu. Is that what it's called?

You know what that is here? his face looks like a blobfish. I'm telling you, look at those lips. They're very succulent. Looks like a tadpole with giant eyes. Kyle, pull up a Labu. Do you not even know what this is? No.

You wouldn't. You're so old and not cool. Well, I mean, what older gentlemen? It's the new Beanie Baby. But like the Chinese guy who made it's made a bazillion dollars. I actually just had a conversation about this. So I'm going to pretend I'm an expert. So, yeah, this dad I met told me about it last night.

But it's the new, you know, remember Thai Beanie babies? Yeah, of course. It's that, except what this genius has done is there's like a hundred colors. You don't know what you're getting. So you just buy the box. And if you want a pink one, you end up buying six more until you get a pink one. You know what I mean? So he's done this whole fucking Ponzi scheme and made a bazillion dollars selling these hideous little freaking dolls.

And it's like a thing. Now there's like rappers with them on their neck. They just showed a photo of an adult woman going to work with eight Labuboos clip to her computer bag of varying colors. As though that's socially acceptable. So is this a status symbol? Are they expensive? It is.

Yeah, they can get up to thousands of dollars. Got it. Wow. So if you have like a rainbow labooboo, it's like, yeah, I'm rich. But hold on, real quick. Don't, wait, wait, wait. Because I see a picture I want to look at. Go to that one over from where you are.

Now pull up our snail fish for a second. Am I crazy? Or are there big similarities there? Let's see. I mean, it's pretty close, right? It's similar. This is a similar color. Cuter.

The fish is cute. The thing I like about this fish is a lot of times when you read about a new discovery, you look at the picture and you're like, oh, a salamander. Yeah. They all look the same. It's morphologies the exact same is something I've seen, whereas this is a cross between a blobfish and axelotel and a stuffed animal. Totally. Yeah, that's fair.

I love them. How big is this thing? Let's guess. Let's guess because I don't know. Yeah, because you have no scale when it's in the ocean. Three inches. It's a snail fish, which are traditionally. small. I'm going to guess it's

nine inches. Oh, wow. No, no, the fish. Oh, oh. Well, my nine inches, so about three. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to say it's quite quite a bit smaller. I think it's only about three inches. What do we got, Kyle? You go two? No, I said three.

That's what I said before. Any information on the size of this fish. Edwin, put the size. 13,000 feet they found it down to. So where is that's deep. Kyle attempts to learn how to use his laptop. What? I've never heard of Monterey Canyon.

Is this, how far off the coast is that? It's like, it's like, I think it starts like 60 miles off. It's where all the albacore and stuff run. Got it. Uh,

up there. And it's, yeah, it's a notorious deep sea canyon for discoveries. Got it. 3.6 inches long. Oh, there we go.

So right around 12 inches. We did it. The width of a human hand says. Okay. So that's right there. Mine or Shaquille O'Neils? Yes. Okay.

The average human hand. So I was thinking about this the other day. Are we done with the fish? I think so. We're all married. Kyle has a significant other. I'm sure some people can identify with this. Who does more stuff around the house?

You or your wife, as far as cleaning. My wife. Like who keeps up on the dishes and... My wife. Vacuuming. My wife. Yeah. Now, I don't think it's always the female

that does more around the house. But it should be. Every relationship I've been in, because in my mind, at 9 o'clock at night, the dishes can wait till tomorrow. Yes. I don't need to vacuum

three to four times a week. Yep, yeah. Right? Yeah. I eat lunch in my office and she'll go in and clean out two days' worth of plates and be like, oh.

Yeah. Well, that's pretty gross. It's not like they're like fucking spare rib bones sitting on it, though, don't they? Yeah, but I'll leave it. I'm the only one who goes in there.

It's my office. You and the ants and the rats and the cockroaches. Sure. Anyway, I just don't feel the need. Dude, you had a seven foot fucking rodent in your wall for that's true. That's true. All right, I'm just kidding. But anyway, it's somewhat ubiquitous, right?

That in a relationship where you cohabitate with a woman that they clean more than you and get kind of annoyed by you not cleaning that. Oh, without question. Every relationship I've ever been. So I was thinking about this last night. There's one thing. There's one house. house chore that it was never discussed that it's just my job.

Can I guess what it is? Charbage. Taking out the trash. Yeah. I do that also. But something else. Something else where I think that this trumps days worth of dishes, hundreds of vacuums. You know what it is, God?

I got to guess. What is it? Go ahead. What? Pick up dog shit. Nope. Uh, dude, I don't know. Is it?

No. I'll tell you what it is. And I'm going to. I'm guessing you guys also have this job. Go ahead. I'm very curious because it's always the male who has this job. Changing the light bulbs. Jerking off.

Investigating noises. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you have to be the noise. Of course. If you hear a thump in the middle of the night, you have to be the one to get up to see to it. It's not even like, who's taking this. Oh, no, no way. It's you.

Well, yeah, you can't send your 95-pound wife out there to be like, go see if there's a burglar. But I don't feel like I get any appreciation. I think one noise investigation is worth six-monthed dishes. Because there's no scenario in which you're doing the dishes in which the potential outcome is a grisly beat down in death by an intruder. Fair enough. Wow. It is. How many, like a lot of thumps.

I feel like this only happens. He's been thinking about this for the whole drive into the studio. Since last night. I didn't sleep last night. I can tell. There was a loud, it sounded like someone was climbing across my roof last. Oh, my God. And so.

Did you get the gun out? No, because I'm just. too scared to even deal with the line. Yeah, because you will go to jail no matter why. I grab the bat and I'm walking into the pitch black abyss having no idea what awaits me. Yeah. It could be a man the size of Shaquille O'Neal who's armed to the teeth. Yeah.

It could be just like some guy in a hood standing with his back to me and he slowly turns and I'm sitting there with a bat. And this is my house chore. Right. And yet I get no accolades. Not just investigating it's sight unseen. And when you get back to the bedroom, there's no. check-in, you just go back to sleep!

They didn't care to begin with. She could sleep through my murder. That's right. Wake up in the morning and not know what happened. Be like, oh, where's Pat? So I was thinking, so here's, I had time to think about this last night. So here's what I'm going to think, I'm thinking about trying. So there's a, for

people who don't know, there's a place called central casting. Okay. And it's a casting database for movies and TV and plays where you can just be like, I need 80 people with 1970s haircuts. And they'll hook it up. So I think I know where this is going.

Yeah. I don't. So I'm going to call my friend who works at Central casting and just be like, I need a ghoul. A cool. I need the ugliest, weirdest looking fucking person you got. Big square body, huge. Terrifying person. Right?

And I'm going to hire this guy. Yeah. And I'm going to set it up before so that he's going to come at three in the morning. Oh, man. And ring our ring doorbell. Ooh. And he's going to be standing out. in front of the doorbell, just looking menacing,

holding some sort of blunt weapon, but something weird, like a piece of rebar. Yeah. Like a candle stick. Yeah. A candle stick. And he's going to be standing in front of the ring doorbell. He's going to ring it three in the morning.

Just doing that. Yeah. I'm going to wake up. And I'm going to go, oh, my God. Look at this. I'm going to show my wife. That'll get her attention, right? That will get her attention.

And then I'm going to be like, you want to take this one? And then I'll do the dishes for the next six minutes. And I'm going to show. She's like, no, what are you talking about? I'll be like, okay, I got it. But this is the deal that's been made. She's going to be having a full panic attack and you're going to be like negotiating dishes. That incident.

That particular incident is worth like two years of not complaining dishes. Exactly. And no sighs when I leave my food plate in the office. But if she finds out about this, you're getting a divorce. Well, hold on. Did you think through the resolution? So you are going to have to go. confront him and then when she asked what was that all about what are you going to say oh he'll run off

as soon as i'm paying this man handsomely yeah so like i'll go out he'll attempt to strike me i'll block it bop him in the nose and then he'll run away and i'll be like never come back yeah that's nice and he's going to go i won't i won't he meanwhile she's called 911 and there's cops oh no question that guy gets arrested no question he gets shot exiting yeah yeah Your whole plan is effed. Oh, my God. I do like this idea, though. It's really smart.

Yeah. But honestly, next time you guys investigate a noise. Leverage it. Just remind them like, this is a house chore. I'm going to have a little contract right next to me on the bed. Yeah. I just signed here. Digital sign.

X there. I just emailed you something. You do do do do tucosignette? Before I investigate the thump. Oh, that's pretty funny. Sorry for the detour. No, I like it. Oh, man.

Do you guys have any? other news stories you want to get into right now because I have one, but it's do it. Let's go. Dude. Okay, I have a question. What's the single most important thing that you guys rely on when you're on these adventures in remote places? I mean, to me, it's pretty obvious. When you're traveling somewhere that has rugged terrain, the vehicle that gets you there is the difference between having a great time or not so much. So when we're traveling, whether it's domestic or international, we always, always, always try to get Toyota trucks, right? Oh, 100%. I think about when we were in Sinky DeBahara and Madagascar and the huge rains came.

I was just thinking about that trip. Yeah. Yeah. We had a caravan of about 10 trucks. And literally, and we have video of this, all the Toyotas made it out. And there were three or four other trucks that got stuck in the mud for multiple days. Patrick and I were, of course, in the Toyota's. Nice.

So a huge thing came out in UFO news. and it's been a really while since anything really kind of interesting has happened. But there was a huge hearing in Congress where they had like four whistleblowers who were talking about their encounters. A couple of them were in the military. One guy's a journalist who's been investigating forever.

And a lot of very interesting like things came out, which are very credible. Oh yeah, this just happened, right? Last week. This was like last Tuesday or something. Like, you know, like a month. Made a lot of news, actually. Yeah, it was actually in mainstream news. Like CNN, they all ran with this.

But I like that our search history goes from broccoli haircut to UFO news. Yeah, Google thinks that Kyle's a really weird guy. But a video was shown kind of just like randomly during the thing. Like one of the representatives interrupted and was like, in the middle of some guy talking, he's like, I just, she's like, I just want, we've got to get this in. Can you play?

You have a video to show us, right? And so they played this video. Oh, yeah. And Kyle, if you can look this up. It's amazing. It's right there, hellfire. I want to just watch it. But before you say anything, like,

Let's, what do you, I want to know what you guys think it is. Look, we're going to watch it. So this is, there is. Okay. So, give us some audio, Kyle. I don't know what I'm looking at. Nine, drone, tracking an orb or this object off the coast of Yemen. So that's an orb in the sky.

Yes. It's not. Yeah, it hasn't moved yet. Watched a hellfire missile. He's explaining it. You cannot see. To Congress. Yeah.

And so. So this is one of the whistleblower. I'm not going to explain it to you. You'll see exactly what it does. I believe he was there in the plane. All right. Let's see it. So they're tracking this orb.

Okay. They're worried enough that they want to shoot this motherfucker down. Yeah, this is off the coast of Yemen in 2024. They really got a lock on this thing. And they go ahead and... It's coming. Following it. Following it.

That's coming. Hellfire missile. Bobbs it. Wait. And three things come out of the back of it and follow it. They definitely shot something down. Yeah. No, they didn't.

This is when it's zoomed out. It continues on its course. Yeah, so they shot it. And first of all, the hellfire missile does not explode. How does that work? So is it a dud? No. No, if it's a dud or if something on the craft prevented it from exploding or what,

but there's no known aircraft that could, even with it without it exploding, could withstand that and continue flying. Of course. It's a missile. But, dude, how much does a hellfire missile way? Can you can I see what a health fire missile is? I mean, I'm pretty nervous. It's a very large missile.

I mean, yeah, I'm sure it is. Yeah, I don't want to get hit by it. I've seen those in Top Gun. They don't look good. They're basically like no aircraft can survive a health fire hit, none. So they shot it. They went for it. They shot it.

Yeah. So, and then, but you don't see it. There's been a lot of analyzed video. I don't know if you could pull up one, Kyle, that shows somehow find the debris that comes off of it. They zoom in on it. and change the contrast so you can see it more clearly. The three pieces.

And they come out one at a time. Like boop, boop, boop. And then... Like it was deployed. Right. Like it was something... But then they each continue following the main craft. Following it and...

They don't fall into the ocean. And the debris, they all have an identical shape. So it's not like just random scattered. They have like this kind of a hammer shape on it. And it's crazy. So is the thought that if this craft was manned, those could have been like evacuation pods. I think people think that there's,

the running theory is that there's some kind of like defense pods or like analyze, they put them out to analyze threat assessment things, the aliens or the UFOs. Coming from the complete and utter novice who has limited interest in this, when I looked at it, I thought it was like a rock, basically. Yeah, it's hard to tell.

But now, well, but you see the size of the hellfire missile and the size of it coming in. I mean, that is a craft. That's like the size of, a jet or something. It's twice the size of the hellfire missile.

That's fascinating. It's absolutely fascinating. I just hate that AI. Immediately, I'm like, it's fake. Somebody made this. But these are four people who,

if they went and presented a fake video to Congress, they would have criminal charges. They were under oath on this one, which is a new thing. So what was the upshot of this testimony? So these guys come in, they go, look, this happened off the coast of Yemen.

here's the video footage. This thing keeps flying. It now has three or four pods behind it. Right. And what does Congress go? Cool? No. They're just like, what the fuck?

Well, so there is, uh, the person who gave them this video or who's explaining the video says that there's many more, uh, minutes of footage of this clip, but they didn't receive that. And I believe, I can't remember exactly, but they might be able to show Congress in a skiff or whatever, like a behind closed. doors thing. But I mean, the point is, is that now Congress, like, dude, they're showing this to Congress. Like, UFOs are real, right? I mean, whatever they are, I'm not saying they're aliens, who knows, but like, the things that are flying around that people have historically said,

you're crazy if you think that you're seeing things that are not like manmade in the sky, it's like, this is what? I mean, like, are you kidding me? This is, this is proof. So is there, is there any world in which, and feel free to tell me I'm an idiot, that that that's like a meteor or something. A lot of people claim that it's a balloon and that they were doing some kind of target practice. Right, and then those three things just keep falling. Like debris that keeps falling with it.

Which doesn't look, that pattern does, was not be conducive to that. But you go what I'm saying. It's almost like you shoot a clay pigeon, you know, and then the pieces keep falling. Right. But the way that the debris comes off and I he hasn't pulled up a video but it shows it close

up, dude. And the debris is literally like it slows it down. It goes, boop. one comes out, boop, two comes out, boop, a third one comes out, and they just all start going in formation. And it is like, I'm just like, this is, this is crazy. But also, the military knows where this video came from. There's metadata. Yeah, it can all be looked at. They can take whoever the commander in charge of that flight was and have them there to say, oh, it was just a balloon and that didn't happen. Right. And a lot of... And we know for

sure that they deployed a hellfire missile. Yes. Like that's like stated like we made the decision to shoot blah blah blah blah blah. Well I mean I it is nobody has basically debated that. So, but I will say like you know and the biggest thing is like Pat kind of alluded

to just now is like is the cover up of all this right? Because like this is our tax money going and they're hiding all of this they have this information. They have clear HD footage of things like this that they hide and is over classified and they're not showing us. But is it or is it just another thing?

What I mean is how much HD footage do they have of some sniper taking out some fucking jihad guy? You know what I mean? And it's not like that's just getting put out every week and they're doing those missions every week. You know what I mean? My point is, is this being

deliberately hidden? Or is it just something that's happening and it's just getting added to... It's definitely being deliberately hidden, which is why Congress has started this whole, like, UAP task force. Which Congress is supposed to have full oversight of this stuff, and they're the ones asking for explanations for these footage. Where's this footage coming from? Where's the other camera that shows this footage these things? And they're getting, they've said straight up, they're getting, they're getting blocked everywhere from the Department of Defense, I think now called the Department of War. There's a real easy way to solve this.

No. All they got to do, it's so simple. That's right. What you got to do is get one of those little sticky mounts that you put the GoPro on, put it on the hellfire. Every time you're sending out a hellfire, you'd just be like, hey, Kyle, run out and roll the GoPro real quick. Yeah, yeah. And you just get the feed until it hits it. You know what?

That's it. Why is nobody doing that? I think you should go to Congress and present this idea. No shit. Hold on. Don't fire. Don't fire. Kyle has to roll the GoPro.

Okay, we're good. So I would like to just take a little poll in the, in the comments, like do you now, believe brosters and sisters that UFOs unexplained things that can defy the laws of physics and and are not explainable do you believe at least that that does exist because i think at this point it's well over 50% of people now will admit that there's something going on that we don't have any idea i think it's going on i think if you don't believe that there is other life in the universe you're you're a buffoon of course oh dude to but it's back off this i think i think i I bet 90% of people believe that.

Or maybe not 90, but like 60. Yeah. And then it's like 30, think that whatever form that is is intelligent and has figured out how to come here. Yeah, and is visiting us. Speaking of, did you guys see this? Is this the Mars thing? The Mars thing? Like there's little leopard spots in the stone that shows, you know, some form of life.

Yeah. Absolutely. It's crazy. So this is, this NASA announced this. It was a big thing. They seemed very excited about it on stage, which they kind of. of never, I mean, they just, they seem a little whatever and try to like, I feel like downplay it sometimes. They have, essentially, this is like the best evidence of previous life on Mars.

So it's, it's kind of like. It's like an old mold or a fungus. What do you call it? Like a lichen or something like that that's grown on Mars billions of years ago, potentially. So even like the scientists now are getting on board with the fact that kind of this, well, I mean, there used to be life. We've talked about this before, right? Kyle, I'll have to fact check me if you can, till like 1996. We were like, all life anywhere in the galaxy

depends on sunlight, right? We're like, there is nothing that life could be, life cannot have foundation without some form of sunlight. And then we sent some deep sea rovers down and found some deep sea vents. So like, wait a minute.

There's no, it's all hydrothermal energy down here and there's no sunlight whatsoever. And it's nothing to do with marine snowfall or anything else. It's life, life can literally evolve without sunlight at all. Which is like, was it really that round-breaking?

It was something in, oh, 77. It's still pretty recent. I mean, that's like not that long ago. But, you know, that's, it's crazy that you think, I don't know. I mean, I know there weren't iPhones in the 70s, but in the 70s, it's like, yeah, we understand how life works. You know, like, and then it's like, oh, no, no, we don't. Yeah, right. Not even how life works, just what it requires to make life.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is wild how, I mean, imagine, like, the shit. in perception once they figure that out. I mean, to bring it back to my like crazy conspiracy filled mind, like, you know, like, who's to say that some kind of intelligence couldn't evolve in the deep sea with that thermo energy or some shit, you know, that maybe they didn't need something.

No, but that's what evolution is. It can. It doesn't matter what the foundation is. Give it enough time. Yeah. And it will turn into something. And those vents have been there for all of history, right? probably longer than any life on earth.

I don't know the answer to that. But yeah, I mean, they've been there a long time for sure. It's just, you know, our evolution is a derivative. Evolution is a derivative of change. You have to have the necessity to change. That's what evolution creates. That's why crocodile, this is very simplistic. That's why crocodiles have been the same forever because they like peaked, never needed to get better.

You know what I mean? It's like, we're good at what we do. The environment hasn't changed. so we don't have to change. So evolution just comes about through competition and then these niches form and we fill in these niches. So we got smarter.

Something's got bigger. Some things get smaller because you fill these niches over time. Evolution comes from pressure. Yeah. Yeah. It's just crazy to be fascinating, man, that we have all these discoveries. This is another big one.

I feel like this Mars one, maybe not as significant as the underwater vents, but like pretty up there. Pretty close. The problem is like, nobody gives a shit anymore. Yeah, it's true. Like about anything.

Yeah. About fucking anything, dude. It's too much. It's like this should be huge news. That UAP thing should be huge news. There's, you know, there's Charlie Kirk,

there's new sharks, there's fucking, what was the thing we looked at a minute ago? There's a new fish. This is nobody gives a shit. Or they did for like one day. But it's just like, it's almost like,

it's like we got to stop doing the news so that when we do the news, it's impactful. Yeah, dude, the 24-hour news cycle, really, it did change the game as far as like, you know, our ability to hold things in our minds for more than like a day or a week at max. Yeah, most things fall out of the news cycle, unless they're so sensationalized. Yeah, they fall out of the news cycle almost instantly. But that's terrible. So let me ask you. The fact that there's life on Mars, and like I did see this article, but it fell out of the news cycle. It was like three days.

So let's say they discovered and, you know, they did a press conference and they were real universities there and they're like, holy shit. They discovered a nine foot tall primate that lived in Oregon and Washington and they found a few of them. Yeah. And they were like, could this be the origin of the big foot myth? Look at this. There's an ape that lives

in America. It's nine feet tall. It like walks more upright than most apes. holy shit we found this new species of ape yeah how long do you think that would stay in the news as a big deal literally until kim kardashian got her next ass left agreed like you know what i mean like it would be i'm i was trying to make a joke it would be the people that listened to this show and those

who like it would be the people we meet at animal con totally and people who listen to this show types i think it would care a lot yeah and then like bigfoot people would care a lot and that's it That's it. It would be big for like three or four days. I would equate it to this, to the NASA-Liken thing. So what is objectively important in our lives then? Nothing. That's my whole point. It's too much. It's too much.

How can we live that way? Well, because there's something about the fact that you have this like freedom of exchange of information constantly. And because of that, nothing is relevant. Like if we lived in, what I mean by that is, if you just lived in your little bubble in your house. and like let's go back to the early 90s right there's no internet or there's useless internet blah blah blah blah you live in your little bubble in your house in your neighborhood then jerry down the street gets a Ferrari that's big news in your house right but when you're looking at headlines all day long spending 12 15 hours on a computer exchanging information about things happening in every corner of the

planet nothing has impact yeah no i agree you almost need isolation from the information in order for the select pieces of information to be impactful. Yeah. As opposed to being constantly exposed with so much information that's just like another click through. Yeah. Yeah, man. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's it's, it's, it's gotten just so much bigger with the advent of instant communication. I mean, well, bigger, but also much smaller. Yeah. Because now it's, it's, it's all here. Yeah. It's, you live in this little. It's within a foot and a half of your eyeball. Yeah.

Yeah. It stares at your phone. Awful. All right. All right. I got a question for you guys. It's fall. You want yourself a nice little detour destination brought to you by Toyota. Where are you going? What are you doing? You're staying within 300 miles of home though. That's the trick. All right. So a little road trip? Road trip. Yep. Got your Toyota truck. Where are you going? What are you doing? I'm going to do something that's a fun drive. I'm going to do a little river. I'm going to do a river weekend. Nice. River weekend. Okay. Can I pitch you this? Please. All right. We're going to hop in the truck. Yep. We are going to go about a three and a half hour drive. Very

fun drive to Kernville, California. Oh, love me some Kernville, baby. Yeah, we've had many a Kernville. That's right. We're going to go up to Kernville. The drive up there is fun, single lane in each direction and a sheer drop straight down this cliff. I know what you're talking about. And we're going to do some white water rafting on the Kern River.

Ooh, done it. Did a bachelor party on that. One of my best bachelor parties ever. Yeah, very fun. A lot to do there. It's also a lot of different levels that you can do on the Kern River. And then from there, we're going to Get back in the truck the next day. We're going to have our adventure on Saturday.

Yep. Sunday, we're going up to the Owens River near Bishop, California. Yep. We're going to take a quick stop by the Inyo National Forest, which is right there. The oldest, the bristlecone pines there are the oldest trees in the world. In the world. We're going to see those. Five thousand years old, some of them.

Damn. And then we're going to stop by a gas station where they sell tubes for like $10. Yep. And we're going to do a very fun river flow. on the Owens River. Yep. Where you basically two cars, you know, one about 10 miles down. You float down.

Some people bring cocktails. If you're driving, you certainly can't do that. I bring a fishing rod. Yeah, I think because there's great trout fishing in that creek, by the way. The Owens River is some of the best trout fishing in the state of California. I did not know that. Yeah, it's really good. And when you get to the end of the river float that starts in Bishop, there's a sandbar there,

and there's rope swings and some fun trees that you can climb and jump. in the river and have a lovely weekend. God, what a treat. That would be a detour destination that I would want to do, brought to you by Toyota. Let's do it this weekend. Let's go. I came up with a little game.

Oh, let's have it. Can we do a little game? And a little jangle. I would love a jingle. A little jing. Peter's singing. It's called Man versus Earth. Okay.

All right. I like the sound of it. Kyle doesn't look panicking. Does he know about this Earth? He knows. He knows what to do. I read them whispering pre-share. So, Kyle, is there a way that you can see the answers without showing them on the screen?

I got to get a lot of strike. Hold on. Here you go. I'm not allowed to drink right now with my injury, so. Oh, you touting the injury. Listen to the bonus pot to hear about that ball's injury. All right. So what I'm going to do is I'm a man.

I live on Earth. True. But something from the natural world has, there's something wrong. I don't know. I'm not feeling great. Okay. Okay. So I'm going to give you guys my symptoms. You know, I've been out. I've been doing a bunch of stuff out in nature, been hiking around. You can ask me a question if you want. Okay. Okay. Okay. And then you have to guess what, did I eat something? Did I get bit by something? I get it. What's going on? I get it. I get it. Yeah. So where being your medical chat GPT?

Yeah. All right. So I, um, but you're painting a full picture. I'm telling you guys my symptoms. I'm very concerned. And we have to guess what happened to you. Yeah. We are chat GPT. Okay. But no, you're a field medic.

Sorry, we are field medic. Yes, I'm not trusting chat to me as their field medic. That's true. That's bad. Nobody wants forest is their field medic. That is even more true. It just makes fun of you. And it's been happened a number of times that I always get complained.

Well, I'm very nauseous. Oh, no. So I just woke you up in the middle of the night. We're on an expedition for us. I'm super nauseous. Poor Patty. I've been throwing up my stomach. Pain's in my stomach.

You have been throwing up? I did throw up. Sharp pain or? I've sharp pain in my stomach. I think I do. I mean, I'm a little confused. The room's spinning a little bit. You have confusion.

And I've been like checking my pulse and my heartbeats really kind of slow. And where are you guys on the excursion? Doesn't matter. I'm not sure. All right. So it doesn't matter. So, sorry, just to play the game correctly, can I continue the 20 questions or do I just start guessing what's wrong with you? You can ask a couple questions.

Okay. Have you had any water to drink? No, not in a while, no. Okay, so most likely you're suffering from some dehydration and possibly having a mild panic attack. Really? Yeah. Are we at elevation? I did.

I think you've got AIDS, sir. We're not at elevation now. I think you've got AIDS, sir. So where are we currently? And the Mediterranean, kind of near the Arabian Peninsula. Okay, good. Wanted to check your mental health was good. So you've been throwing up.

You're not feeling well overall. Dizziness, fatigue. Sharp pains. Sharp pains. What have you eaten today? I mean, I was foraging a little bit. Okay. I didn't eat anything that I thought was unusual.

Right. So standard sort of fruits and veggies, Mediterranean things. I mean, I was eating some, just like plants that looked edible. Smart. Yeah. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead. I thought I checked my field guide. Yeah.

Okay. So we're in the Mediterranean. I'm going to guess you found some delightful wild olives. Is that correct? Wild blueberries, obviously. Kyle? You had oleander. You ate oleander?

Yeah. Don't do that. Why? What's wrong with you? Don't eat oleander anywhere. Even I know that. Not even in the Mediterranean. It looked delicious.

What does the only end of the oldiander look like? I want to see how delicious it looks. I thought this was. I thought there was edible flowers. Are you a rabbit? Who eats flowers? Like pretty flowers. Munching a purple flower.

I go to the swanky cocktail bar in Athens right before we came over here. There were edible flowers in my drink. Yeah, they're like, eat the garnish. So I should eat this delicious pink flower? No, to be clear, I'm never going to get this. My head was going like, okay, he's eaten unriped olives because we know what an olive is, but if you don't cure an olive it actually makes you sick. No, you have to assume I'm really stupid.

I didn't realize you were just munching flowers out of the garden like a rabbit. You're not going to get it right even if this. was real for us, so that's okay. You've already talked about how your medical skills are not. Oh, they're very dull. So it's okay. Yeah, that's all right. All right, I like it. So oleander, go back, Kyle. Oliander contains cardiac glycosides

that can cause life-threatening arrhythmias in your heart. You can die if you eat it. Dude, and I have all these kids, like we have Oliander all over my garden. My kids don't eat it because they're not you. But you have it in your garden? Yeah, I bet you do too. You didn't mention the arrhymias. You should

And my heart feels like it's beating. I said it was a slow heartbeat. What is it rhythmic? I thought it's not like irregular heartbeat. Yeah. Interesting. I mean, it's not like we would have gotten it anyways, but no.

It does say it's all over the U.S. too. Oh, it's everywhere. It's literally in the parking lot outside the studio right here, right downstairs. Wow. Pink oleander. Oh, yeah. Dude, so if your dog like munches a flower, it could die from that? Uh, yeah, but how often do you just see your dog eating flowers?

My dog's dumb as shit. Well, so are you apparently because you're just eating pink flowers, but. All right, fine. All right. Next one. Okay. So we're on a lovely adventure in Australia. Yeah, this is going to be tough.

You could be killed by anything there. True. A kangaroo. Hey, guys. I think I found like a little like, like a bite on something. Oh, okay. And it's very like tingly and numb. Okay.

And I wasn't worried about it. I thought maybe it was a bee. I didn't know what it was. But I'm like having trouble kind of swallowing. Yeah. I'm just like drooling a little but. Druling or dry mouth? Druling.

Oh, interesting. Oh, so a little numbness. Yeah. Peter, you go, because I think I might actually know this one.

Okay. Well, I mean, this has got to be a scorpion bite. I'm going to try to stand up. Sting. Oh, I can't get out.

I like muscles. Oh, he's getting paralysis. How's your breathing? It's not, it doesn't feel great. I'm not getting a good deep. Yeah,

a little respiratory failure. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. I like the acting that's coming through. Thank you. Um, I think you've been bitten by Huntsman Spider.

Obviously. What is it, Kyle? Hangaroo. What is it? It's blue-ringed octopus. Oh, I should ask if you're playing in the tide pools. I didn't think about the water. Okay.

Well, that's not good. You think it would have mentioned that, though. Can be fatal. Respiratory paralysis can cause it to be fatal unless artificial ventilations provided. Yeah. Oh, it's bad. Sorry, that's so, okay, as a bad medic who didn't realize what was going on, I didn't know you were spl-

You think you would have mentioned it. You think you would have said out in a tide pool picking up critters. It was doing all day. I was in the water. Yeah. I just was swimming. I didn't know it was important. He is delirious.

Yeah, true, true, true. Yeah. Do you know anyone that's ever gotten tagged by one? No, but I think we might have talked about it on the pod. That chick who like, oh my God. You remember that? Can you pull that video up? Dude, it is a fucking wild.

She's just like holding and playing with it with the most deadly animal in Australia. Yeah. I mean, and, and, and you're just like, oh my God, she has. no clue. Well, they are cute. They're very cute. Beautiful. Look at this. Dude. It's hilarious if you think about it. This is wild. Like if that thing decided, it's a bite, right?

Yeah, it's a bite. Venus bite. Jesus. And they got a beak. She didn't know. It was. Clearly. No, no. Boy. Was she an American tourist? Am I making that up? Let's eat it. Wow. Look at her. She did an interview on. Let's hear if she has an American-Australian accent. I got a couple comments. Like, hey, do you know that this is

the blue ring off? Yeah, totally. Because you don't grow up in Australia. It's like growing up here and being like, oh, look at the cool spider with the red shaped butt, you know? You don't play with black widows here. Yeah. But by the way, that cacophony of symptoms is a nightmare.

Oh, it's terrible. Drooling can't swallow. Oh, my God. Terrifying, man. Okay, I like this game. Let's try. Maybe they might need another clue. Maybe give us one more clue next time if you've been swimming or something.

Yeah, just a little bit. Hang on. I got to see what the answer to this one is. Okay, good. I'm doing a little Googling about his... I put it at the bottom because I didn't want you guys to see. No, I like the game. I like the idea of the game. In the meantime, Forest, what is the most dangerous animal encounter you've had in Australia? Since there's so many dangerous critters out there?

You know, I always think, and this ruffles feathers every time I say, I'm going to say again, Australians are pussies, man. Like, they just are. They're just... Sorry, Daniel, cool. They are. They're all pussies. They're all scared of these animals. and none of the animals in Australia are out to get you. That's the difference. You go to India, you go to Africa.

The animals are trying to hurt you. In Australia, there's tons of gnarly, venomous creatures, incredible bioweapon animals, but none of them are trying to get you. The human is walking up to them and messing with them. I mean, you know, yeah, there's the odd cassowary or whatever that can be aggressive, but it's not like, you know,

go try walk through the bush in Africa. You know, it's a whole different thing. So, that being said, the reason I say all that, the most dangerous for me was the story I told about rubbing the sea snake venom in my eye. Oh, that was in Australia.

That was in Australia. Yeah, that was, I mean, to date, that's where I think I've been the closest to... And maybe the dumbest thing you've ever done. It's up there. Okay. Yeah. I just killed...

I remember when you were like, I think I just killed myself. Yeah. Wrote a death note to your wife. Sure did. So we're just in Missouri. Okay. We're not even really...

It's weird. We just ran into each other at the airport and decided to hang out. Always. Yeah. Always in Missouri. Springfield. But hey, medic, forest and male nurse, Peter.

Oh, I thought we were into the story. The Missouri was part of it. I, uh, my mouth is really dry, which, like, normally I wouldn't come to you about. Yeah. But, um, I also haven't peed in 14 hours. Uh-oh. And I've been drinking a lot of water. Oh, uh-oh.

And here's the other thing. I think I might have seen my dead grandma with a knife in her teeth. Oh, boy. Oh my God. And just she was there and then she was gone. So have you been foraging any wild edibles? I did eat some berries. Yeah, I thought so.

And I was with a kid. Mm-hmm. It wasn't my kid. Okay. And a kid died. Oh, good. A kid's dead. Yeah.

Wow. Okay. I'll go ahead and diagnosis as you're in Missouri. This is poison berry. You're definitely not. I've been drinking so much water and I can't pee. And there's a fucking cloud over there. Yeah, I don't know.

It's obviously some poisonous berry, though. But yeah, Poison Barry is a real Boise Berry. What is it? What's the name? And where are you? In Missouri, for real? Yeah. This is Nightshade. Oh, I did know the answer to that. Oh, so this is tomato relative, right? Yeah. That I know. I did not know that. Yeah. I mean, it looked like a beautiful

purple tomato relative. What's funny is there's kind of eggplanty, right? Yeah, and it's actually like, there is a good version of it, too. Oh, really? I don't know what it's called, but there's a lookalike that tastes fine. And it's interesting because I have, I mean, nightshade, like I said, tomato is part of the same family. So it's, you know, they look similar leaves. I could also see getting fucking duped by this.

Oh, I'd eat that. I'm getting hungry looking at it right now. It looks delicious. It really does. Those look like some plump blueberries. Yeah. It's like a purple cherry tomato. The one on the left, the black night shade is the one that you can eat.

That's good for you. The one on the right is the deadly nightshed. You can't tell it. That's not fair. It's not. It looks so. Okay, so it says that, so it's the clump. When it hangs in a little ball clump.

For those not. watching, yes, the smaller bunched fruit is the okay one to eat and the larger singular fruit are the ones you don't want to kill children. And it sucks because like I've literally, so that this, there's a type, I don't know if it's this one, but it's that wild tomato nightshade that grows, I think invasively, as you go down my road, you guys know my road on the right hand side where that field is. And every spring, my son and I pick them. Oh, man, but I've never seen the deadly nightshade in California. Maybe we get it. But, you know, like, you start thinking, It's like, I want to teach him to forage and like, I know that you can eat these, blah, blah, blah.

If he happened to go to Missouri with my wife and see those, he'd be like, oh, dad show me these. Absolutely. I mean, those things happen. Yes, for sure. That's why, I mean, it's risky to teach your kids anything. So if you see these. We're learning. We're learning stuff.

Yeah. Where are we here, Kyle? We're in North Africa. Oh, man. We're in North and North and North. Oh, could. Kyle. Forrest should know this.

Yeah, if you don't. Because I've never been. We're in North Africa. Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm a little concerned, guys. Okay. What's going on? I thought I got stung by a bee again.

Oh, once again. Did you see the actual bee? I was sleeping. Oh, okay. Bees come out at night a lot. Yeah. Into your tent. Sting.

But I've got a, it's right here in my calf, and it really hurts. Okay. At the site where I got bit or stung, I don't know what it was. Okay. How are you feeling? Terrible. I'm sweating profusely. Ooh.

Okay. I'm throwing up like a. idiot. Oh my goodness. Is anything coming out when you're throwing up or is it dry heaves or everything came out. I mean, I'm puking big time and I have a blood pressure cuff that I bring with me when I travel. Who doesn't? Smart. Yeah. My blood pressure is through the roof. Uh-oh. High blood pressure. Yeah. And I'm walking a little weird too. Yeah. And it's sharp stinging pain. Yeah. And I was with a kid. Yeah. Also died. He died. Yeah, that keeps happening. You hang out with a lot of kids. He does. Yeah. A lot of ill. You've had a lot of illnesses too.

All right, well, I'm going to go ahead and say that one of these, which there are many up there, terrible scorpions got you in the leg. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and agree with force. Thank you, male nurse. Yeah. Yeah. We got one.

We got it. The death stalker, scorpion. It's funny because I knew it was something like that. It doesn't sound dangerous. I was going to call it like the deadly stalker. And I was like, no, that's not it. Yeah. It's close.

By the way, I'm genuinely impressed that you got that you got that from just essentially symptoms, which are just. everything. I just know North Africa is a lot of highly potent. There's like more diversity of scorpions

there than anywhere else. So they're all competing with each other to be the most venomous basically. You know what I mean? Like when there's a lot it's kind of like

snakes in Australia. It's like, you know, yeah. Oh man. These are places I don't want to be. So people go back, Kyle, to number eight there. So yeah,

fatal to small children, elderly or those with comorbidities. Mm-hmm. anti-venin and ICU care can reduce mortality. It's not really. Unfortunately, there's probably not that much of that going on in Nigeria.

Yeah, no, you're in the middle of Chad or the Sudan or something and you get a little ting in your leg and you've got, you know, probably 12 hours to get care. Well, you guys were in Madagascar, which is which part of Africa? It's an island. It's an island off the coast. The coast of eastern Madagascar. Okay, so you guys were kind of like not even on mainland Africa,

but you had a co-worker who got bitten and had to be like helicopter, basically almost died. To this day, we have no idea what really happened. That's crazy. Right? I mean, there was never a full analysis. Well, definitely the bite site had turned into a staff infection. Yes. And potentially African tick bite fever.

Right. Gosh, not really. Compounded by the staff infection. Hey, listen, we've been doing some good games on the pod today. I'd like to play one more. Yeah. Cal? Activate creature report.

Oh. It's been a minute. It has been a minute. Sorry, that's the wrong one. Oh, I thought that was, I was like, is that, that's not. I think I know what time. There you go. It's time.

I haven't heard this in a while. For what? The Battle. Oh, yeah. The Battle Royale. Can we explain what this is, especially what I'm holding in my hand while I dish it out? Explain what it is and the situation that we're in. Go, you do it.

I'm going to deal. So we spent. A year plus making this card game, the Battle Rail card game, got each card as a fact. The artwork. Original artwork. And then we played it once on the podcast and never did anything with it. And I think we had a couple thousand decks made. Yeah.

And then we just never did anything because we're idiots. Yeah, we're horrible. But we play it when we hang out. We played it at the Christmas party. Kids play it as a drinking game. Our kids love it. Love it. It is really fun.

And we just got a notification from Amazon. on that we either need to start, that it's going to be cheaper for us to have them just destroyed than for them to continue to store them. And we're like, this is stupid. Maybe there's a few brosners that might actually want to play the game. Give it as a gift. So we're going to do a Battle Royale,

but we're just going to do it with the card game. How does the card game work? What is it? How does it work? Yeah. So it's a great game. There's a situation. Yeah.

Can you explain it while ideal, please? I don't know how to play. There's a situation card, which we do. You want me to explain. No, there's a battle royale. We throw out a situation. a lot of situation, like make an animal that they're going to fight in the mountains or on ice or make a cute animal that people are going to blah, blah, blah, right? So you take the head,

body, legs, and special abilities. That's right. There's four decks. Yep. And you make your creature and you make an argument for why yours is the best. That's right. And there's a judge, a rotating judge. So Kyle, walk in here, take your headphones off, walk in here, come and grab the situation card. In the meantime, we're each going to take four of each of the cards. Deal it up. Quickly. Go, go, grab your cards. Or each color. The situation's gray. And if you're watching at home, this is a lot of fun.

And the winner, it's entirely based on making the judge vote for you. You can make him laugh. You can make him think it's the most formidable, anything you like. So grab a few of each color, and we're going to play around. We don't want to bore you guys. But the game's really fun. And we really want to sell a few of them so that they don't get destroyed because we work so hard on them. So, Kyle, take a situation.

All right. What you guys are going to do is build a creature. to hide under your friend's bed. So the goal is to scare the fuck out of your friend. Correct. Okay. So or to scare your wife in the middle of that. Oh, we need multiple.

You've done this. You helped create the game. I'm just going to go with my own, my four that I've picked. Build a creature to hide under your friend's bed. All right. So you've got a head, a body, a special ability, and movement. Oh, dude, this is literally, I will win this with, I only picked one of each. You go.

Are we going to do, are we just going all at once? Tell me, tell me, Peter. My whole creature at once, or do we do sneak, or how do we do it? No, you could, your whole creature at once. I mean, this is literally, literally the best one. So I have the head of a big horn ram, first of all. So this will be under your bed.

You'll see this. Remember, it's scales to the body. That's right. So it better fit under the bed. Yeah, so the skull structure has a spongy section that keeps their brains from getting rattled when they bash their heads together. Meaning... I might...

See, normally what I would have done, it works like cards against humanity. I would have saved that for a fighting one, but you want to put it under that? No, no, I think that that's pretty... I think that's pretty scary if you see it. Okay. When it's combined with my red abalone body...

Okay. Their blue-green blood... I don't need the facts. Dude, we need the facts. That's the point of the game. You learn. Okay. There's a fact on each card,

so you can have fun with it. The blue-green blood can't... clot, meaning any cut can be fatal. Oh, wait, that's not good. Luckily, their large shell protects. Yeah, we don't have to read the fact. Okay, but their movement is that of a feather star, which have 120 feathery appendages that extend from their dish-shaped body,

and the legs help them swim through the water. So it's basically like a spider. Take a look at this. This is pretty scary. Show the camera, Peter? Pretty scary. What does that look like? There you go.

It looks like a weird, terrifying spider with 100 legs. Okay, so you have the head of a big horn ram, the body of a red abalone, the movement of this basically water spider with a thousand legs. And here's the kicker, guys. This is why I would be scared. Okay. Because it has the special ability of venomous spit. And now I am going to read this fact. First of all, the graphic on this is genius.

And which animal is a special ability? I'll tell you in just one second. That comes with the fact that you told me not to read. the spitting spider releases a stream of venomous glue so it's not even just spit, it's gluey. Ooh, sticky.

With decided accuracy that sticks to its prey trapping them and disabling them at the same time. So you're trying to hurt your friend. Of course, I don't want to just scare them. I want to kill them. If it were human-sized, it could reach something like 40 feet away.

So with the red abalone body, the big horn ran, head and the crazy spider dude this thing your your friend is going to we're going to have to chat gp t like draw these up because a red avaloni body is just a snail you know that right yeah so it's his friend goes to bed at 10 p.m. by 5 a.m. it'll be climbing across his chest yeah exactly that's okay with a tiny big horn ram head come on that right there is terrifying you have to think you're still dreaming it does sounds slimy at least it can fit under a bed and then it's it's It spits glue venom into your eyes and kills you.

That's a nightmare. You want to go? Yeah, I'll go next. All right. I hate, I am, there's nothing that gives me the willies more than frogs. Interesting. Yeah, they give me the willies. Get on with it.

I'm going to take the, I also need it to fit under a bed. So I'm going to take the body of a Bornean flatheaded frog. Okay. Very small. Little green body. About as small as a red abalone. Yeah, they're tiny, man. So you're the idea is to convince the job.

to not pick the other people too, so you can talk shit. It's a three-inch-long little green frog. Yep. Your penis body. Flat, slimy. Yeah. Like your penis. On that body,

I'm going to put the head of an eye-eye. Oh, man, I had that in my head. Literally hunted to the brink of extinction because it's so terrifying. This is true. People in Madagascar think that it puts a curse on you. It's so scary. Put that fucking head on a frog body?

Oh, that's awful. Well, how's it going to move? because we don't like things that skitter, right? Oh, it's going to move like a mantis shrimp. Okay? How does a mantis shrimp move? It has like a regular shrimp. Three pairs of walking legs

that's going to skitter about up out of the bed onto your fucking... It sounds very like... I'm getting like skin crawling. That's what I want to do. I don't want to kill my friend. I want to scare them. Does you spit glue in your eyes?

With the eye eye head. No, but it's not a very nice animal. No. It's a ferocious animal because its special ability is the ferocity of a wolver Oh, there you go. Oh, so you don't want to kill your friend?

You guys are making fun of me for all the same things you just picked. No, we didn't. I just want it to come up with its little eye-eye head and just like bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite him. Yeah, kind of looks like he's dripping off. Kill it. Yeah. Okay, mine is designed only to scare, not to bite or envenimate eyes. Mine can't be killed as a shell.

So stay with me because this one's going to come out of the gate a little strange. There's Peter's creature. Yeah, that's pretty scary. That is fantastic. I don't know how it's going to get up there. It's like in a colored egg. This is so good. When he does a deep clean of his room, he'll find its carcass.

Rotting under the best. Dried out. Couldn't quite make it. Oh, my God. Speaking of drying out, not quite making it, I am going to put my animal, because I didn't get very good body cards, on the body of an emerald green sea slug. Okay.

So it's large, it's flappy. Slimy. It's super slimy. It's gross. And you're going to say to yourself, that's not good. It's not going to move very fun. No, not a little.

Now, keep in mind, on top of this, something to make it incredibly terrifying, it's going to be the head of a king cobra. That is terrifying. And when you look at this card, especially the way we had the art done on it, it's pretty scary. It's a terrifying.

So this big, flappy, fleshy, wet, slimy thing crawls up with this hissing snake fang, hoods up, looks at you, and while it's moving, now, and I know where you're going to go with this, while it's moving, it's moving like an I-I-I. So it's got these creepy, crawly,

tendril-like fingers, that in addition to having that weird tapping finger that an eye-I has, because I needed an additional special ability to make it move faster, I use the special ability of the spiked legs of a praying mantis. Okay. So now you've got the slug with this cobra's head, with these eye-eye legs and arms all covered in spikes. I mean, it is gross. The thing that scares me the most about that one is I'm picturing sleeping on my back

and just feeling a tap on my forehead. one finger. And then I wake up and there's just a cobra head there. That's not great. It's not good at all. It's not good. Okay, so let's take a look at the three of them here. Kyle's generated them.

Oh, my God. So, all right, Patrick's. Run us through it one more time. Pat, you got the head of what? Got the head of an eye on the body of a Bornean, a Bornean flatheaded frog. This is not showing the mantis shrimp legs, which would make it creepier.

And it's ferocious, like a woman. It's pretty gross, to be honest. Yeah. All right, let's move on. Let's see forests here. All right, so mine ended up with, I love it. I mean, I wish the snake were more menacing and his mouth were open. He looked friendly, friendly snakes.

I would want to keep this. I definitely wouldn't be scared of it. No, you'd be very scared. That crawling across your leg? Dude, an amp crawls across your leg in the night and you're in panic mode. This thing I would be petting. That's a lie. And let's finally look at Peters here.

Oh my God. Do you see this? This is, you would die upon looking at it. It is crazy. I will say yours is the most gross It's skittering with its like thousand legs And your pocketballs To me it looks like it's going to leave something muddy

On the floor It's definitely going to take a shit on your forehead And by the way that ram can spit venom on your eyes Kyle as the judge Yes Whose creature that we've now seen Do you think is the most disgusting thing under the bed? I mean it's pretty obvious

You really don't want a cobra head underneath Do you want to get fucking venom spit your eyes glued shut? I don't want that, no. Kyle, but he also knows your abalone. Abolus don't have legs.

He's got literally the exact same body as an abalone. What is it? A fucking, it's the, it's a blue abalone. Like,

legit the body is the exact same. Dude, this is why, this is such bullshit. What movement did you have? He has the skittering of basically a hundred leg spider.

Oh, he did say that. I forgot about that. But ablones don't have legs. No, dude, this is pure favoritism because you and fucking Kyle are butt buddies do hang out all the time.

The cobra head essentially won it for it. Correct. But I'll take it. All right. And spiky legs and things. So buy the game, right? Please. It'll be in the link right below here.
