Wild Times.
Oh, boy.
Hey-ho.
Hello.
Hey, here we go, Wild Times.
We are in the studio.
We're podding it up.
I just picked Peter up a nice cup of coffee.
Thank you, sir.
My savior.
Yeah.
He sounds terrible.
What do you mean?
I sound great.
Actually, now you do.
But a second ago, you sounded really bad.
Like when you said, thank you, sir.
I was doing a little voice for you.
Oh, you were dying.
I like your shirt there, pal.
Thanks.
Yeah, it's, uh, I'm trying to, I'm trying new things out.
Yeah.
I'm trying to be, like, really confident in my shirt choice.
Sure, sure, sure.
A bold shirt choice does show confidence, I feel.
Well, I'll tell you this, and this is a true story.
This happened yesterday.
I went to the gym, and I picked a really bold workout outfit.
Hot pink shorts over black skin tight tight tights and a very tight black tank top.
True story.
Why?
I don't know, to be honest.
I was feeling my stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it was rainy.
I was the first cold day of the year.
And I was like, you know what?
I'm going to wear tights under my shorts.
But the shorts, they're like, they're like those two and a half inch seamers.
The ones that are called panties.
They are.
Ranger panties.
And so I wore those to the gym.
Didn't get a second look because I'll wear silly stuff to the gym constantly.
Yeah.
But then decided to go and pick up a cup of coffee and pick up my son from school.
And I realized when I showed up to his school in hot pink tiny shorts with black spandex,
it was not the right thing to do.
It's a problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dude, it's funny because like I just wear.
whatever I'm going to work out in all day because I work from home most of the time, right?
So I'm just in that.
Yep.
But then there's a choice when I go to pick up the kid.
I'm like, should I just pop an appropriate, like, at least shirt on?
Yeah.
Like, most of the time the answer is no, right?
Most of the time it's no, because I'm like, I'm only going to see like two or three people, you know?
Yeah.
And I just can't be bothered.
But if it's, if I'm drenched in sweat and wearing my 2.5 inch chubby shorts,
Oh, I was.
Yeah.
All the ch-
One more,
one more kid-related story
that happened on Saturday, actually.
First time I've gotten a fight with another dad.
Oh, wow.
I like this.
Yeah, pretty good.
Dude, I know it's coming, man.
No physical altercation,
but it was like a legit argument.
So we're at Rhodes New School,
and they have a pumpkin patch over the weekend.
I haven't even done intros yet for the pod.
That's a part of my chest.
Yeah.
And Rhodes is just,
he's like,
a maniac. He's running around like crazy. He decides he's going to be the guy on the dunk tank.
So he's getting super wet at the pumpkin patch. You know, like sits under the dunk tank thing.
And people hit it with the apple. Yeah. And the dumps a bucket of water on his head. And, you know, lots of kids were doing it, whatever. So he's all like soaking wet. So I end up taking his shirt off. Because of course, I didn't take him a change of clothes because I'm not my wife. So he's just running around the pumpkin patch out of school with shorts and no shirt. Fucks off to the bounce house for like two hours while I hang out with the cool dads that I.
like. Yeah. And then, uh, like, I'm like, come on, we got to go. And he like runs back over to
me and he's putting on his shoes. And this very like, it's like a flat, flat all the way
around Brim hat guy. Like the kind of guy who has a coexist sticker on his Toyota Prius.
Sure. Starts to approach me. It's, he's basically a Manhattan beach guy. Exactly right. And I was
like, oh, boy. And, uh, it's funny because in the two other dads after we're like, oh,
we thought that guy was going to be your friend. I was like, I don't know, don't know my friend.
And this guy walks up and he goes, excuse me, is this your son?
I was like, nah, I'm putting the shoes on somebody else's kid, like trying to be funny.
Yeah, yeah.
And just blank stare.
So I was like, uh-oh.
And he goes, your son was on the bounce house with my son and he refused to get off the slide.
He's, he's really, he was really upsetting some parents and he wasn't a very good listener.
And I was like, Rhodes, were you listening to this guy?
And he was like, no.
I was like, why not?
He's like, I didn't want to get off the slide.
I was like, well, that wasn't your turn the whole time.
He's like, yeah, you're right, dad.
I'm sorry.
And I was like, yeah, next time, listen.
So he threw an apology down and you kind of discipline the kid.
Immediately, like within a few seconds.
But then I turn back to the guy.
He's still standing there.
And I'm like, he's still standing there.
So he wants an apology for me or something.
And I'm looking at him.
And there's like an awkward, like three second silence.
And then I'm like, all right, I'm going to dig my heels in here.
So I say to the guy and I go, hey, so just out of curiosity, you have a kid too?
And he's like, yeah, my son was also on the slide.
And I was like, he's not a piece of shit.
I was like, all kids are pieces of shit.
And I'm in front of the two other dads,
so I'm trying to be really cool.
And I'm like,
is there any reason that you told me this 10 minutes after it happened
as opposed to telling the five-year-old to get off the slide
and just sorting it out?
He's like, well, I just thought you'd like to know
that he's not a very good listener.
And I was like, guy, have you met kids?
I'm like, what's the matter with you?
Not a very good listener.
There's nothing telling me this.
This guy really triggered you.
It must have been his hat.
The hat was awful.
Yeah.
Yeah, and it just like, it amounted to nothing, but I just basically went on a rant to the guy about why he couldn't deal with a five-year-old and he had to come and tell me 10 minutes later.
How did it end? Did he just walk away and huff?
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. He was like, he was very soft-spoken, but in a passive-aggressive, shitty way.
Yeah. Being his wife sounds awful. Yeah. And, uh, yeah, and I was just like, I was like, just like, just like, sort it out. Like, don't tell me this 10 minutes later.
Sure.
Like if your kid was sitting on the slide,
I would have grabbed him by the foot and pulled his ass off the slide.
So here's what you need to know.
As they get older,
these are going to become different.
It's going to be like,
yo,
your son fucking punched my kid in the face and he has a black eye.
Right.
And like it's not always going to be the soft spoken dad.
Some people are going to come in hot.
Totally.
So just be ready.
I'm ready.
And I think I have like a bunch of canned responses.
Sure.
Like ready to go.
Like,
well,
did you tell him to punch him back?
Like is your son as much of a pussy?
is you that he or does he fight
his own fights.
Yeah.
You know,
like I'm going to have a couple
in the in the can ready to go.
We'll make sure you say that one
to the wife too.
Totally.
The other kid being a pussy.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah, yeah.
They respond well.
It's good.
And that way both my son
and I can have black eyes.
That's right.
Yeah.
And likely be kicked out.
We have some big news
to get into,
uh,
including something I'm very excited about thylasee.
Yeah.
But I think I probably,
did I tell you guys the story on the podcast of when I called the woman in my
neighborhood of wildebeest?
Did I tell you this?
Just leave it at that. Don't tell us.
I'm just kidding. Please tell me everything.
Join the Patreon to hear Pat's story about the web of the beast.
I need to hear about that.
I'll keep it very short.
When my first daughter was born, we had a nanny that was from El Salvador.
I remember her.
Yeah, she was great.
Nice old lady.
Strong as an ox.
Yes.
And she came in the house crying.
They would all go to the park.
There was this big group of El Salvadorian nannies in the neighborhood, and they had a gang, essentially.
Yeah.
And so they were all came down.
They were very dangerous.
Yeah.
And they went to the same park every day.
They would stay almost the entire day.
They would eat lunch there.
All the kids were friends.
Yeah.
And she comes in the house crying because some woman had screamed at her and was trying
to get them to move because they were setting up for a birthday party.
And so they all like picked up and moved at the public park.
At the public park.
They all like picked up their blankets and they're set up and they moved.
And she, I guess, like came storming, like walked away.
And then she came storming back and was like, that's not.
not far enough and, like, yelled at them.
And it was very upsetting to my 70-year-old nanny.
Sure.
So, and I was just, it just got me.
It was the wrong day.
You triggered.
Yeah.
And so I just went, got in the car, drove over, saw the party, and just kind of just
walked up to the party pretty hot, but like, not yelling.
Yeah.
And I was just like, are you the ones throwing the party?
And some woman goes, what's the way?
I can't remember what she said.
I wish I did.
But she came in immediately.
She reminded me of, uh, Jeff Garland's wife from Kirby,
oh, Susie.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, what the fuck do you want?
What do you want?
Something like that.
And I fucking just Mount Vesuvius just started like, and I was locked on the husband.
And he was like, don't talk to my wife like that.
I was like, you better get control of this fucking wildebeest.
Or I'm coming at you.
I'm coming at you.
And we live in the same fucking neighborhood.
And I just turned and walked away.
And she was just, she didn't back down.
No.
But the dude was like, definitely was like.
I'm not a tough guy
and I'm not a big guy
No
He was kind of scary
When you get angry
I was very lucky
That this guy was
Smaller and way
Less scary than me
Yeah
Like if I had walked up
And it was shack
I would have just
Spun around and gone home
But like hey
You guys were right
My name
Never should have been at the park
I'm gonna go fire
Yeah
She'll be living in the park
Pretty soon
All right Kyle
Play the jingle
Enough about
Dad fights
It's fun though
It is
What I'm
From the Underground
Okay. Forest, I'm going to tee you up here.
Let's go.
All right.
So you had an, there was an exchange on the WhatsApp group about something thylacine
related.
Yes.
I knew we were recording today, so I didn't want to spoil it.
I didn't even want to read the exchange.
Okay.
Can you set up what's going on and I don't know where we're out with this?
Absolutely. So this, this, I think this was last night or day before yesterday.
But all of a sudden, my Instagram, the little bubble had like 47 new messages.
You're like the, you're now the thylacine scientist.
I feel like. Apparently. I know the least about them. But yeah, but I, you know, I had all these messages and these DMs. Have you seen the new thylacine footage? Have you seen the new thylacine footage? So similarly to what Pat just said, I'm not going to lie. I took a little peek at it, but I didn't watch the clip because I wanted to see if it was just something getting regurgitated or if it was new. And it is a new clip. It is from Australia. And what I put in the WhatsApp group was Edwin, what's the story here? And he goes, this is the newest footage from this guy filmed on thermal. And I was like, ooh, seeing as it's 11.38.
at night and we're potting tomorrow.
I'll wait and watch it.
So this is going to be us watching it.
Oh, nice.
First time I've seen it other than a couple quick clips.
Like I did quickly click through it.
But yeah, I think we should break it down.
Take a look.
So this footage was captured on a pulsar merger thermal binocular.
Can you look that up?
Because I know thermal binoculars, but I don't know the pulsar merger.
I just want to see.
And it was filmed from 492 feet away.
I like that.
Like a football field and a halfish, right?
492 feet.
Is that a $3,000 pair of thermal binoculars?
That's about a football field if you include the end zones.
Okay.
Okay.
So that's a decent.
So captured by a British guy living in Australia by the name of Christian Harding,
aka ambiguous world.
Oh, wait.
That's the same guy who put out the last thermal thylacine thing.
Correct.
Oh, yeah.
I remember that one.
Yeah.
I remember we broke that down and there was like a lot of fight over it.
It was the one.
It seemed to be walking through a bunch of kangaroos.
That's right.
And it clearly had an injured leg.
It was head carrying its leg weird.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that guy.
guy's doing this a lot. Good to know.
All right. Let's take a look here. I like that this guy's just out in the field with this
thermals just looking for thylosine. That's cool. It's just passion. I think it's awesome,
honestly. Film from 492 feet away, like you said, about half. Suburbs outside the northeastern
suburbs of Melbourne, not the best location. So it's in the Yarra ranges. It's 944 square
mile in the northeast suburbs of Melbourne. Can we let me see what the Yarra ranges look like. Like,
is it wild terrain? Because 944 square miles is a big area. If it's Melbourne, it's going to have
coffee shops and hipsters. Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, that's a big zone for sure. Okay. But what does it
look like? Is it like mountainous? Well, it looks like it looks like it's, uh, well, I think it's
quite lovely. We should go hot air ballooning there at some point in time. Exactly. It doesn't look
like it's too developed. It just looked like there was a few roads running through there. So
it looks like there's like wineries and vineyards. But then also we're looking at like a,
a very dense jungle-y forest and waterfalls.
So would this be somewhere where a thylacine might reside in that type of environment?
Absolutely in the environment.
I mean, that's as far as, like go back to the map quickly, Kyle, and I'll show you guys this
quickly.
Like just zoom out, just zoom out, out, out.
See how close you are to Tasmania?
Yes.
You basically don't get closer to Tasmania in Australia than Melbourne, right?
So if they were on mainland Australia, that's the closest habitat and everything else.
The problem I always have is mainland Australia.
Sure.
You know, the last known report of a thylacine is from Aboriginal cave paintings, like, what is it,
4,000 years ago or something like that, versus Tasmania, which was 100 years ago.
You know, so that's what, to me, that's always the red flag.
That said, I myself have gone to look for thylacine in Australia.
So it's not like.
You spent like a month.
Exactly.
So who am I to say that it's not there?
But yeah, let's take a look at this.
Come on.
I'm getting goosebumps.
Getting excited over here.
Yeah, zoom in on that band boy.
Okay.
So two minutes.
So it has the stiff long tail.
Yeah.
Is this regular motion or is that slow motion?
Wow.
Thylose.
Yeah.
That's got to be slowed down.
Okay.
He's talking about the moon.
Well, I think his point is why it's so bright.
Oh, yeah.
Because you're a night vision, but see how much light you're getting even from the sky where you see it through the trees.
It's got to be from a full moon.
Yeah, it's very bright.
Okay.
Okay. That's interesting.
I mean, this one doesn't appear to be limping like that other one.
Well, maybe it is, actually.
I bet it's the same animal.
I bet it's the same injured fox from the last time this guy filmed it.
This thing looks, doesn't it look a bit stockier than a fox?
The legs aren't thylacine legs?
Are they longer?
They're a little bit longer than a fox, right?
Are they more kangarooish than a fox?
No, it really, could it be a quall?
I mean, I don't think so.
It's too big, especially from that.
distance.
Just laid in.
Zoom.
Let's keep going.
It's just another one of these things where it's just, you know, it's like filmed on a potato.
You'll never be able to verify for sure.
One way or another.
Go back to the very beginning, Kyle, because that was the best silhouette we got of its, of its profile.
I mean, honestly, like right there, it could be like a bear cup.
Yeah, I was just going to say, like, not the tail, though, but the, the, uh, so, oh, wait, stop.
Back up.
There's one bit of information there.
You're going to talk about the ears?
See when it looks towards the cameraman.
Stop right.
There.
So there.
There they are.
I mean, this is always so stupid.
I mean, you're literally looking at a black smudge.
Like, it just looks like something somebody could rub with their thumb in some ink.
But, you know, oh, there you go.
That's good.
Kyle, can you zoom in at all?
Or is that not possible in a YouTube video?
No, I didn't think so.
Okay.
Control Shift 4.
Take a screen grab and then zoom in a little.
Would you like a new job?
Because Kyle's really.
That's the only thing I know how to do.
Yeah, zoom in a little and then do that thing that we've done several other times where we look at, you know, the head structure.
Yeah, now just pull up a thylacine head and ears versus a fox.
Yeah, that's, yep.
The face is wider, right?
It gives me that foxy look in the face.
Yeah, the ears of a thylacine.
See how small the ears are there?
Yeah, okay.
And then go to like a fox's head.
quickly, please.
Foxhead.
See how much bigger they are in relation.
That face shape is very similar to the outline.
Now go back to the black.
See that?
And I mean, we're basing that again on a black fingerprint smudge.
And now with AI, I think everything's fake.
So I have no idea.
But I, it's just to me, okay, if you got this,
here's what I would do, right?
I'm in, what was this guy's name's?
Jonathan?
Chris.
Chris.
I'm in Chris's shoes and I get this.
And I'm 100% sure there's a thylosine.
The last thing I do,
is put this on the internet for criticism.
Sure.
The first thing I do, if I'm convinced I filmed a thylacine,
is go and get 100 trail cameras and put them around this field.
You know, and that's it.
Like, that's it.
I get IR nice, HD trail cameras,
and I put them all around the field.
And that's it.
And then I wait.
You know, maybe it'll take a month.
Maybe it'll take six years.
But that's the first thing I do if I'm convinced.
If I'm like,
eh, I got something or I want some attention or I want some media,
I'm putting this out.
Okay, so let me just pose this question now.
Yeah.
What if Chris Harding doesn't have 20 grand to buy 100 trail cameras?
I mean, let's assume he's like a normal guy who works a normal job.
Well, he could sell his thermal binoculars and buy 10.
Okay.
You know.
Here slows it down to show the unusual gate, right?
It doesn't appear to be limpish.
But it is kind of doing that hop, though.
Is it limping or both the back legs are pulling in that hop?
I think it's front right leg is fucked up.
Okay.
But I don't know.
It is good.
I mean, these images are like, even if it is,
just an injured fox, this is a hard thing to get.
Yeah, yeah.
Like if you said to me,
Hey, Forrest, I'll give you thermal binoculars
and put you out in Melbourne, Australia,
go get footage of an injured fox with a broken, stiff tail.
Like, I'd be like, well, that's not possible.
Right.
That's even more rare than a thylosine.
Seriously.
Like, I appreciate that this guy's out there doing it
and that he is getting the tail there.
It's very, it really is that rigid.
It's always the tail in the gate, you know?
Yeah, absolutely.
The head structure is.
Dude, that pro.
where the moonlight almost looks like it's banded.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
You're like,
all right,
well,
that's a thalcine.
Yeah.
Can you back that up a hair cow in the slow mo?
Like there's a,
there's a single frame there where it looks like it has banding.
Right there.
Yeah.
I saw it.
It was like one frame before.
It is,
I've only done it a few times and every time's been with you for us.
But like sitting out at night,
just looking through thermal binoculars,
like when you see something.
Yeah.
It's fucking thrilling.
Yeah.
It's really cool.
Cool. It's like when I, I mean, everybody does it with their own way. Like, I go out and skywatch and look for UFO.
Sure, sure, sure. I mean, it's, it's different, but it's the same thing. People are.
Have you skywatched with a pair of, like, whatever the new generation, um, Night Vision, but
goggles are? I'm too poor. I would love to. They're only like three grand. Yeah. Oh, I'm not saying only.
That's obviously expensive. It's something that's silly. Affordable. But it's not 50 grand.
Right. Remember when they used to be 50 grand? Like all night vision thing.
Yeah.
Anyway, sorry.
But, dude, we,
um,
when I was making the first season of,
of that Blind Frog Ranch show,
I was out there in Utah,
just,
you were just in the mountain,
you went to mountains just absolutely dark.
No light.
I remember.
You send me pictures of the elk and stuff.
Yeah,
yeah.
And, uh,
we would just take turns at night just wearing,
because Chad had two pairs of the,
like,
Gen 3 or whatever night vision goggles.
Mm-hmm.
You see so much shit.
Yeah.
It's wild.
Up in the sky.
Yeah.
And like,
we,
filming it and never made it into the show,
but like you would see things.
Like we saw this line of five things and then the two on the outside just took off.
Man.
And we were like,
are those satellites?
Do satellites like gang up and then take off?
I don't think so.
But it's crazy.
It's really fun.
You know that.
Highly recommend.
There's a,
so this guy Philip Corso was high up in the military when the Roswell crash happened and is basically
like kind of oversaw.
the cover-up. And then he came out later and talked about it, wrote a book and everything. But he says
that he was responsible for coordinating the dissemination of the technology that they got off
the craft, but in a way that, like, it's not, they don't know that it's coming from where they got it.
So he said that Night Vision is one of the technologies that we got from the aliens. Can I back up
to one thing.
Sure.
Something,
of everything
between thylacine
and Patrick's story
stuck out to me the most,
a friend named Chad
with two pairs of night vision.
Oh,
yeah.
Who doesn't have a guy?
Everybody has that guy.
Like,
their buddy Chad
that has the night vision goggles.
Yeah.
And you're like,
yeah,
I know that guy.
Uh,
you had a zoom with Chad.
I remember.
Yeah,
no,
I remember.
Super cool dude.
Super cool,
but like,
has dreadlocks,
never wears a shirt.
Yeah.
Who doesn't want to be friends
with that guy?
Yeah,
he was like the hot.
The hot guy for that show, the on-screen hot guy, right?
I mean, I didn't, I don't really look at it.
Well, you thought he was, you told me, private.
I remember that.
So I zoomed with him about frogs.
That's right.
Blind frog.
Frog behavior.
So final thoughts on Chris's video here.
I mean, it's a pity that we've become so jaded to this now because I don't, I don't at all get excited
by it anymore.
Because we've seen this kind of thing so many times now.
It's like we need that next step, whether that's a trail camera footage,
video or a daylight photo or whatever it happens to be like we need that so my final thoughts are
good for you chris if you genuinely and sincerely believe that you've caught a thylacine you're right
there you're on the cusp like put the put the trail cameras out you know whatever you need to do
find the DNA whatever you're right there yeah but right now it's just another black blur you know
it's interesting right is like most of the videos we've seen come from either trail cameras or
thermals at night right right and you're to your point about the daytime thing when do most
people that claim to have seen ghosts see the ghost.
It's got to be a night.
It's because like our visual receptors don't fucking work.
That's right.
That's right.
So it's very easy to like something happens.
You see a shape and you go, God, that seemed to be humanish.
Yeah.
Right.
But you have no idea what you saw because your eyes don't work.
Dude, how many times have you woken up and looked at like a coat hanging in your room?
Like, oh, never mind.
That's not a guy trying to kill me.
And then.
Oh, yeah.
A hundred percent.
And then you have like that you're, you're just scared of everything for like the next five minutes.
Like I won't hang my foot off the bed.
Like I knew it was fake.
But like now I'm heightened.
The adrenaline's just coursing.
Oh, dude.
My wife put up this Halloween scarecrow.
She decorated for Halloween.
I've taken out the garbage now three Wednesdays in a row.
And it's just over there.
Yeah.
And it's five feet tall.
And three weeks in a row at, you know, 10 o'clock at night, I've been like,
oh.
Creeped out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, dude, it's like it puts it in your mind.
It gives you like a vibe of like somebody creeped out fucking watching.
Dude, Kyle, we do have some more good news here.
Dude, I like the shirt there, pal.
Yeah.
Yeah, you noticed my chubbies.
Yeah, it's my, my chubbies Philadelphia Eagles polo.
Love, love surprising my friends when we get together for the game with with the matching board shorts as well.
Do you go full onesie?
It looks like a full onesie when I have it on, but it gets a lot.
of compliments and high fives. I like that. I'm the opposite. I go for the everywhere lightweight chubby's
pants. They're durable. They're seriously ready for whatever the day throws at you. They look
good. I can wear them to a meeting. I can wear them on an airplane. I can wear them for a hike.
I think their fall stuff is so underrated when everybody just thinks of their like shirts and shorts.
I know. It's because they, because they were like the first one to come in with the cool shorts.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fun board shorts. And people think of that. But their ball stuff is awesome.
Dude, they're winterproof jackets, sweatshirts, flannels.
They're flannels.
Peter's in their flannels 24-7.
I know, he sleeps in it.

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, 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.
It's comfortable the entire time.
Toyota Trucks, let's go places.
Discover your uncharted territory.

Really quick, look up for the, look up the viral porcupine costume.
My wife has been working on this because she saw it on Instagram for a week already.
Let's have a look to see here.
Yeah, it's exactly that.
Yeah, this was in heavy consideration last year.
Oh, really?
Yeah, but you have to make all those spikes out of straws and tape.
It's really good looking.
It's ludicrous.
It's insane.
I cannot believe.
And I said this to her.
It's the one with all.
It's the first one.
Like if you go to the Instagram video.
You're like, hey, honey, you have infinite time.
That's the thing is she's like, can you help me with this?
I was like, absolutely not.
There's no world in which I'll do this.
You're not going to craft for six hours?
I will buy any costume that you show me on Amazon.
It'll be here tomorrow.
Yeah.
And I won't have to think about it for more than five seconds of my life.
Right.
You're going to spend close to two days of your life building this.
Full days.
Like full,
hard eight hour work days.
And a lot of frustration.
I mean,
the tape's going to come off.
Like,
they're going to fall off.
All the quills are going to fall out immediately.
Like my son,
I guarantee when she puts it on the baby,
he's going to hate it and scream.
Oh,
she's doubling,
she's doubling down.
Just the baby.
Just the baby.
Um,
my,
she picked a smaller one.
So that's better.
Yeah.
My brother,
uh,
sent me a,
text, I think he listens to the podcast occasionally.
Hey, Joe.
He made our logo.
I love that guy.
He sent me something that I thought was pretty cool.
But I know, like, I just don't know enough about sharks to know if this is podcast
worthy.
So I showed Kyle and he said, I think this is pretty cool.
All right.
So this was.
If Kyle thinks it's cool, I'm in.
Yeah, exactly.
So this is from about two weeks ago.
Biggest ever quotes, Great White Shark Contender.
surfaces just off Canada plumping up on seals.
I do like that.
It is tis the season for plumping.
So let's take a look at this shark.
Okay.
Is it hooked?
Researcher would tag by Osech.
Look at the size of that.
Look, if it's Osearch, that's Chris Fisher and Brett McBride.
Those guys know what they're doing.
If they're saying it's one of the biggest ever, it really is.
It looks pretty a damn big, if you ask me.
Oh, wow, that thing is a beast.
There's Brett right there.
That's a buddy of mine hanging out.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
How, so they tagged it?
Yeah. Look, I would say not bullshit. If it's coming from O-Surch, especially from Brett, that guy right there with the gloves on, it's definitely legit.
What does the eye test say for you there? Doesn't look that big. Interesting. Does it, I mean, does it to you? Like, it looks big, but like, for reference, just stop that for a second, Kyle.
Type in, I think, I think your name's deep blue or big blue, the Great White Shark from Hawaii.
Deep Blue Shark from Hawaii. Yeah, try that. Or Great Blue or Deep Blue, something like that. Try that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Now look at this.
shark comparatively speaking oh wow uh just go to that's a megaladon bro that's a i megaladon
um yeah look at that shark by comparison dude that's that's that's yeah go to that one for
perspective but that's not that's not because she's in front that's ocean ramd she's in front of
the shark yeah extremely oh okay extremely i'm gonna say it's just the shark the shark is too
yeah that's not a nice joke is this not dangerous i mean she's literally right next to this
pregnant shark like touching it would it not eat her i mean i understand
This is what this lady does.
She speaks sharks.
She really does.
I don't know her personally, but like, you know, you see her online all the time with you.
She comments on a lot of Wild Times Instagram videos, like negatively about you.
Oh, really?
No.
I was like, why would you bring that up?
I was like, oh, that sucks.
I'm sitting here telling her she's great.
Yeah.
Of course not.
She definitely doesn't know about the show.
She's too busy doing this.
Yeah, exactly.
Wow.
You're right, though.
Well, the one where it's pregnant.
Where she's in front of it and you can see the scale.
and I mean, I don't know how big ocean is, the woman swimming with it,
but it doesn't really matter.
I mean, you see that and then you see that other shot,
and you're like, yeah, it's not that big.
Then there's another one actually.
Open up another tab, Kyle.
Go on Instagram to the Malibu artist.
Malibu artist.
So I think I remember this guy's awesome.
Carlos.
So he just posted a photo two days ago right there,
folks at Rincon be aware.
So he just found this shark, which just look at the,
size of that. The girth is, there's no scale there. There's no scale, but first of all,
this is right in front of my house, which is scary, but he said somewhere, it might be another
photo that it's over 16 feet. Okay. And I don't know. My point just being, you see that,
you see the one oceans in, the perspective of seeing Brett McBride cut the hook out of that
they measured, it doesn't look nearly as big. I agree. Which leads us to a whole other thing.
Sorry, just interrupt for one second. It's like, I've always thought this,
you know, when it comes to TV and all these things.
It's like you can sort of say whatever you want,
and it's all about the perspective of what you're seeing camera-wise.
Sure.
You can be like, this is a 20-foot shark.
It's like, well, I would believe it in Ocean's photo,
but I don't believe it in Chris's,
and it's probably the other way around.
Right.
You know, it's crazy.
Yeah.
What's the biggest one that you've been up close to?
White shark?
No, shark, period.
Well, I mean, whale sharks, which are huge, obviously.
Let's not, yeah, yeah, yeah.
One with sharp teeth.
It would be a white shark that I've paddleboarded next to
that's probably like 13.
I've never seen one of these, these big 16, 17.
How big were the tiger sharks at Tiger Beach?
12, 13, maybe up to 14.
They might be the biggest, actually.
They're huge.
They're pretty gnarly.
I mean, they have a constant diet of hand-fed fish.
Yeah.
Also, there's something about that tiger shark face
where they have that big flat head
instead of the point that the Great Whites have.
Yeah.
that just makes them feel bigger, too.
Oh, yeah.
You know, like their head, like, look at that very first photo top left.
Yeah, yeah.
Like that wide, broad head makes them feel so big compared to the white shark, which narrows down.
But again, I've never...
That's kind of like you, Forrest.
Oh, thank you, Peter.
I should know to never say anything about large heads on the show.
Go to that one, Kyle, in the bottom right box where there's a bunch of people underneath that shark.
Holy crap.
That's a cool picture.
Is that real?
Wow.
Yeah, if you're only listening, I apologize.
We're looking at a lot of pictures, but...
True.
When you get home, listen again.
Yeah.
When is this pod coming out?
I might tell a secret on the pod.
Monday. This coming Monday.
Okay.
The same as always.
Yep.
Well, I didn't know if it was...
Whatever, you're right.
Sure.
Okay.
I shouldn't tell anybody this,
because all of the other Shark Week producers
that listen to this are going to steal this from me.
There's so many.
There's five of you.
Yeah.
We got exclusive access to a nuclear power plant
here in California.
because a buddy of mine who's a big spear fisherman
is the one and only marine biologist at the PowerPoint.
Nobody's ever had access to film and dive here before.
And it's not Sano, that's Sano.
But we're going there on Wednesday of next week.
And his footage is insane.
So he sent me a text two days ago,
and he listed, I'll just read it quickly,
the sharks that he saw on one dive, no cage, nothing.
No, it's all white sharks.
But we're talking about have I ever done this before?
and I never have, but I'm about to go and do this dive.
So on, let's see what day was this.
He texted me on Thursday.
This is a good pod.
Shut up.
On Thursday, he texted me.
He saw at least eight sharks out here today.
One shark nine to ten feet at 15 feet, meaning depth.
One shark 12 foot.
One shark 12 foot.
No tag.
One shark 10 to 11 foot.
One shark 14 foot in the discharge plume.
One shark 16 foot in the discharge plume.
one shark eight to nine feet one shark outside of the canyon at 12 feet this was on a single scuba 30
minutes is this basically just warm water coming out yeah i can show you the videos of it if you want
but it's absolutely insane so yeah so the nuclear plant uses the water as an intake outtake to cool
everything and so all these trot like fish fish that aren't typically in this part of california are
there year-round and then these white sharks all congregate here and it's um it's pretty scary if we're gonna go do it
next week with no cages, nothing, and it's
taken a lot of effort to get access to do this.
That's crazy, bro. Are you nervous?
Kind of a little bit. Yeah, because
it's really low vis. I just sent Kyle a video.
I just texted it to you, Kyle,
and he can show you how crazy it is.
What are you going to do down there with him? Feed them,
pet them? This. So these are all
white sea bass, and they're there all year long,
which is very unusual because they're a migratory. See
that one shark in the bottom left? That's how
bad the visibility is, but keep watching.
Look at that. Oh, yeah. Oh, man.
And this is my buddy's on the surface, filming this
the GoPro.
Wow.
Oh,
really?
Yeah.
So it's pretty,
it's pretty dicey.
Yeah,
that's,
that's pretty
terrified.
So you're gonna go scuba?
Yeah.
So the other,
one thing to know is don't,
you don't want to get too close to where the discharge
enters the water.
Why is that?
Because it's incredibly hot.
Oh,
it's that hot?
I mean,
they're cooling a nuclear reactor.
That makes sense.
I've never personally done it.
But like,
they're literally cooling the uranium core.
Well,
that can't,
I mean,
it must have a little bit of radiation in
it too? No, I don't think so.
Do you think Forrest is going to come back with an even bigger
head? Oh, thanks, Peter.
Maybe it'll shrink it.
But I'm excited for that. I'm very out of it. What are you
going to do with that? Pop it on your YouTube? No,
that's for Shark Week. Oh. Yeah.
That's why I was like, I don't know if I should talk about this,
but you're already doing it. Yeah, I've done it every year
for like eight years. How can they get upset?
That's like a good way to hype it up, man. I mean, you
don't do any spoilers.
All right. We did the jingle. I'm going to read you
a headline. Okay. And I'm going to read you the headline twice.
Okay.
I'm going to read you one that's the real one.
Okay.
And one that you would click on much more quickly.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Rare white beaver wows Ottawa area wildlife watchers.
Okay.
Okay.
Rare pink beaver wows young man.
Which one of those two would you click on more quickly?
It depends on what mood I was going.
Yeah.
It depends if my wife's home or not.
Well, one of those is a real title, the first one.
Pink beaver.
It is very cool, though.
like look at this fully albino beaver.
If I,
I can't do this.
I can't just sit here and talk about beaver and white beaver and pink and shave
beaver.
I can't do it.
Nobody said shave.
Not yet,
but I was thinking of the way to work it in.
Oh man.
Kyle just ran to the back.
But by the way,
like it,
when you see the head peeking out of this fully stark white beaver,
you definitely would be like,
that's not a beaver.
No.
You would know.
It looks like an otter.
That's a giant.
Yeah, exactly.
Like,
so this is in water rat.
Oh, is there a video of it?
fucking a dorm.
Oh, great.
This guy talking about him
seeing a beaver.
I hate when people do this.
Just show me the footage.
That's it.
That's all I want.
Wow, look at it though.
Yeah, it's very cool.
It's funny.
I have such an unpopular opinion on this.
I really do.
I think it should be in a zoo.
Yeah, I know you're going to say that.
Because it shouldn't really have made it to adulthood, first of all.
Right.
And it reproducing reproduces less than optimal genes,
because if it passes on, even though it's probably recessive,
if it passes on albinism,
that's going to make for higher mortality for the next generation,
like,
it should be caught and put on display
because it's so beautiful and so unique and so weird,
and it shouldn't really be out there in nature.
That said, if you did that with every mutation,
you'd never have evolution.
So it's like a weird, like I'm contradicting myself,
but like it's like that we looked at the,
remember the lucistic lemon shark?
I think it was lucistic,
the yellow and black one.
Yeah.
They should be in zoos, man.
Like, I would pay.
a fortune to go see this white beaver.
Yeah, it is very cool. Stop it now.
I almost went there. Yeah.
No, that's cool. Yeah. I don't know much else
about it other than I'm sure it's incredibly rare.
What else does it say in Edwin's show notes here, Kyle?
Perth, Ontario.
Yeah, but nothing about like albinism and beaes. Oh, here you go.
Loocystic beavers are extremely rare with one pelt from 1918 preserved at the Canada
Museum of Nature. Keep in mind, that was a time where like,
the main reason that we were moving west was beaver for beaver pelts that's right yeah you know what I mean
like that was like the point of a lot of those westward expeditions was just kill as many beavers as you can
find same reason a lot of young men come to california that's that's right yeah for the beaver
yeah like I'm too immature to do this you can't stop you're for himself at this point yeah I really am
it's okay I think the brosters alike so given how cool that albino beaver is yeah this reminded me of
something. This would be an incredible detour destination broke you by Toyota. So imagine this.
Picture this. You fly into the Ottawa International Airport. Yep. You pick up your Toyota truck.
Yes. And you're going to want a truck because you're in Canada and you're going river
exploring. We know that that white beaver came from the somewhere near Perth. It's a river near Perth.
Everything just says river near Perth. So maybe they don't want too many people going. But that's the fun of it.
You got to go on an adventure. That's the fun of it. You've got to go on an adventure. Find yourself a little duck
boat maybe that can fit in the back of your Toyota pickup truck, get some binos, and you go,
you take that one hour drive from Ottawa directly to Perth, go find some rivers and go find
this one in a zillion white beaver. I like it. I think also some cool things. I've spent some
time in that area. I'm going to say it wrong, but Fort Coulong. Oh, okay. I think Coulong.
Really beautiful area, just like forested. There's some cool waterfalls. You can do some zip
lining there. Oh, there you go. And I'm not a big sweets guy. No. But I did get convinced to get a donut
at a place I think it was called the Cardinal Cafe. Okay. That was near there. It's in like Sharbot Lake.
Charbo Lake. It was the best sweet treat I've ever eaten. Nice. I mean, think of that detour.
Pretty sad. Detour destination. You fly to Canada. You pick up your Toyota. You go on a river beaver
mission. You grab a delicious donut. You do some zip line and over a forested waterfall. That's a perfect little
detour. Yeah. I love it. I'd like to do it right now. Sounds lovely. But I, unfortunately, I can't
because I have a family. I can't just do that. I say give it a try. Let us know if you do it. That'll be
our detour destination of the week. Kyle, play a jingle. Let's play a game. Hmm. Okay. That's a new one.
Have we heard that one before? You have. What game do you have in store for us, Kyle? We're going to play
the weird animal laws game. Oh, I like this one. Yeah. Let's go. So how does it work? There is a
sentence here.
I'm going to read to you guys.
Why did you gap the word sentence here?
Do better.
Take a breath between those words.
There's no ellipsy.
Is it a question or is it just a sentence?
Edwin either found this online
somewhere in a weird animal law around the world
or he just made it up. I'm going to read it to you guys
and you guys are going to tell me, is this a real
law or is this something that Edwin made up?
I love this.
Or you stay eye to create.
First one.
Okay.
In Singapore, feeding pigeons in public can get you
find up to $10,000.
Absolutely.
I think Forrest should go first because he's been to Singapore.
I've been to Singapore.
I mean, Singapore is one of the, like, you'll get put in jail for chewing gum.
Yeah, sure.
You know what I mean?
And just knowing that, I'm going to say this is a real law.
They will absolutely fine you for everything in Singapore is immaculate.
I know.
And I imagine that this law has nothing to do with the pigeons.
They just cannot stand the idea of someone throwing seed or bread on the sidewalk.
Having the pigeons all over the place there.
I'm going to say, I'm going to say real law.
I actually like this.
because you're right.
If there's someone who's just like feeding near a bench,
you are going to have pigeon feces just everywhere.
So I'm going to go real.
I went to a park the other day.
There's a nice little lake there,
some kids fishing and whatnot.
And of course, like, there's signs everywhere.
Like, don't feed the ducks.
Don't feed the wildlife.
And there's always at least one or two fucking people just brazenly.
Like, what are you doing?
Like, this should be the death penalty.
I agree, and I hope that everybody who does this gets fine, 10,000.
Yes, it is true.
Good for you, Singapore.
That's a good law.
It extends.
It says here, anyone caught feeding pigeons can be fined it to $10,000 under the
Animals and Birds Rules.
That's it.
It's called Animals and Birds Rules.
I like it.
Simple.
Never taking my children there.
They'll be in jail.
All right.
What's up next?
Next one, in Tanzania, it's illegal to own a pet.
hyena without a tribal license.
Huh.
You start, Peter.
You start on that.
I got to say that, you know,
just all out,
you can cut it off after the word hyena.
It's illegal to own a pet hyena.
And I say yes.
It's a real law.
I do think this is false.
I think he's trying to trick us.
I think it's across the board illegal.
I don't believe that there's a tribal license exception.
Oh.
I'm going to go full.
bullshit. You can just have a hyena.
It's like Tanzania is basically the Florida of
Africa. Okay. Is that true?
I have no idea. Oh, okay. Let's find out.
Oh, is it true about being the Florida of Africa? No, not
at all. Okay. All right, well,
it is false. Yes.
This is not a true law.
There you go. See, you can just have a hyena.
Yep. You can just have a hyena.
Just have one.
Barely. Go grab it.
Bad idea. Don't do it.
Imagine if like your neighbor just had
a hyena that was laughing at all hours. Have you seen
the hyena men of Nigeria? No.
what I'm talking about, either of you?
No.
All right, we must dog leg quickly.
Absolutely.
Do what you do.
This is a real thing.
So the hyena men of Nigeria are these guys who go out and they find baby hyenas or they breed hyenas.
I don't really know.
But what's crazy is see if you can find, what's the capital city of Nigeria?
It's, I should know this.
Logos.
Type in Lagos like hyena man Lagos.
You'll see these guys walking down the streets of Lagos with their hyenas on leashes.
Dude, that's badass and crazy.
It's like a, like a, I forget what it is.
I mean, I don't want Kyle to try and look it up now, but it's, look, you're literally in the city.
It's not like you're out in the bush.
Right.
And these guys have these hyenas as status symbols.
And they just, like this, they just walk around town with these muzzled hyenas.
At least they're muzzled.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think all of them are.
And it's like, it's, I think it's seen as like a status symbol.
I don't really know, but it's not an uncommon thing at all.
I don't know how strong that thing is.
Like, I, sorry, go ahead.
These guys have no chance of restraining this thing.
things. No, look.
Like, look at it trying to get the cameraman.
I thought it was cool when I heard it, but now seeing what they're doing, like, I hate it.
It's funny because the images I've seen make it look much cooler.
And when you see the reaction, you know, which is obviously a posed image.
Yeah.
When you see the video, it's pretty sad.
Yeah, it's like, leave the guy, leave the fucking animal alone.
But Nigeria is pretty wild still images, though.
Oh, yeah.
But Nigeria is crazy.
I mean, they have such bad animal trafficking in markets and stuff.
Like, look at this.
Dude, that dog's got way cleaner teeth than my dog.
That ain't no dog, bro.
That's a hyena.
That hyena has way cleaner teeth than my dog is what I meant to say.
Wow, that's cool.
I didn't not.
I've never seen this.
Yeah, there's another one too, which is like the fashion tribe.
Do you know about that?
I know all about that.
Oh, you do.
Okay.
What's that?
I don't know about it.
We've talked about it, I believe.
Give me a little refresh.
What's the fashion tribes of Congo?
It's like the fashion men or something.
It's not even a, it's literally called fashion tribes.
Yeah, I remember this.
It's a word for it.
Yeah.
They look great.
Umbrella.
What's the word?
They have a word for themselves.
A red suit.
The fashion mafia.
But yeah, it's these men in the Congo that, like, dress extremely high fashion.
Congolese dandies?
Congolese dandies.
That's it.
Yeah.
Nice.
I love these guys.
Do you know why or what sparked it?
I don't.
Yeah, I don't either.
It's interesting.
I mean, why does anybody do anything?
It's just like, hey, like.
Vibrant expressive style of, what does that say?
Sapura.
Sequara?
Sepuars.
Yeah.
No.
Anyway, back to the game.
It's a fun little dog like that.
I think it's really fun.
All right.
Skip to number four.
Number four.
In Japan, cats are allowed to work in certain train stations as official greeters.
I love this.
I'll start on this one.
It's 100% true.
I mean, any country that sells use panties in a vending machine can just make up whatever
laws they want.
Yeah.
Including this one.
Oh, yeah.
This is definitely true.
There's not a whole lot more to be said.
Right.
Japan's such a odd.
place because you're right.
Like they do sell panties in a vending machine.
But at the same time, they're very, it's like super clean.
They're very like social.
So, you know, you get shamed if you're caught doing something bad in social.
So everybody really behaves.
They don't spit on the ground or do any of that.
But so for for a cat working, how do they get paid?
Okay.
I got, I got to go false just so I can get the point, even though I kind of think it's true.
True.
Aha.
I mean, I remember when the first kitten cafes opened, they were in Japan.
You know, a lot of the, like, little cartoon things that come out of Japan are that cat themed.
Oh, they love cats.
They love a cat there.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
What is that second photo of?
Oh, a cat greeter.
He's got a hat.
So it's like when you walk into this train station, there's just a little cat greeter with an official cap on.
I like, hey, guys, he shakes your hand.
Yeah, this is Tom of the Cat.
It was a very famous train station greeter, but.
It fortunately passed away.
I imagine this started as a means to keep rats down,
and then it just became a thing where there are cats at the train stations.
Let me throw another theory, because that makes way more sense than mine.
Have you ever seen videos of subways in Japan, in the cities?
I've been on a subway until they use poles to stuff people into them.
No, that's a thing?
Yeah, but I don't know if that's Tokyo.
I don't know if that's Japan or just somewhere else now that I think about it.
Okay.
But I've seen videos where they're using poles to push to pack to stuff people in more.
That's insane.
But is that Japan?
Yeah, there's people being pushed into trains.
Yeah.
Tokyo.
So this is men with white gloves doing it.
Train stuffing.
So my thought is that maybe they're like, yeah, it's such a bad experience riding a train that like let's just give people a little joy.
Well, just something nice.
It's like a treat.
Just a little kitty.
Interesting.
That way everybody won't freak out.
out when they're getting pushed into the train.
Yeah, because you just had a nice relaxing cat pet.
Do you know, could you imagine, like, imagine being stuffed into the train like that?
Like, I would freak out and have a panic attack.
I'd be like claustrophobic, wouldn't, wouldn't you?
Yeah, no, you can't be claustrophobic and do that.
It's pretty terrible.
All right, well, cats aren't, cats aren't miserable.
By the way, I brought a little treat, guys.
No way.
Oh, my God.
That's the season.
That's so funny because I hadn't seen any yet.
And I'm like, man, I wonder if Patrick's found any because he's so.
So upset.
Jelly belly brand.
Not a sponsor?
Not yet.
I mean, once they see this, we're the first people in history to eat the public night.
Let's just make sure we still stand by our stance that candy corns are delicious.
It's very much a hot take.
People think these are disgusting.
I really like them.
I don't know if I've said I don't like them in the past to be funny, but they're really good.
I mean, they're delicious right now.
It might be the fact that they're jelly belly brand.
They don't taste like chalk that makes out.
These are unbelievable.
What the hell are these made of?
Earwax.
And sugar.
There's no wax and sugar.
It was zero hesitation for your response to that.
It's a fantastic texture combo.
Do you like candy corn cowl?
No.
No.
Get in here and stuff your face.
I know.
I think this is going to change your mind.
Let's do one more.
All right.
And one more.
In Norway, you must prove your parrot knows at least one Norwegian phrase before registering it.
That's pretty funny.
I could see that being on.
law to prove that you like purchased it in Norway and haven't smuggled it in.
Good point. You know what I mean? You're like, all right, there's illegal trafficking.
You know, if you're, if your parrot speaks Hindi, there's something wrong here.
You know, like if you want to register this sucker, you got to make sure he says something in
Norwegian. Because of that. That's an interesting logic there. Yeah.
I feel like it's bullshit, but I'm going to go go for the Hail Mary and say because of that,
it's a real law. I'm going to say this is false and that it was written.
by chat GPT.
This is not real.
Hey, thank you for the candy corn, by it.
I'm going to go true.
I think it's real.
False.
Yeah.
Is it written by chat?
So I don't get the ding, which is weird.
Well, it was two false.
He went majority answer.
Yeah, exactly.
Makes sense.
Yep, that is not true.
Not a true law.
No, I mean, it's shenanigans.
But the logic I thought I came up with.
No, that was good logic that got you to where you gave the wrong answer.
Yeah.
Why don't we do one more?
We've got another one.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
In Botswana, donkeys must have reflective ear tags to help motorists not hit them on public roads at night.
I'll jump right in.
That's definitely true.
It's very smart.
It's too hard to make up.
It's just so smart.
Like if people are transporting their donkeys down the road and, you know, over the course of five, 50 years, 20 people hit a donkey.
Yeah.
Stick a reflective tag on there.
This is basically a health food, by the way.
It tastes so fresh and clean.
Yeah, it's good for you.
Why don't you go ahead and read the nutrition?
Nah, you don't want to know that.
But why reflective tags on the ears?
I'm going to go false.
This is a, he's trying to mess us up.
Where else do you put the tag?
Well, like on its ass.
You never heard of pin the tail on a donkey?
You were picturing like one of those decorative, like, anus things.
Hang it from its balls, maybe.
People get for their cats.
Oh, that.
I thought you meant a shiny butt plug.
Hey, that's even better.
You just boop right in there.
It fits right in.
So you're saying false, Peter?
No, yeah, I'm saying false.
So Patrick's up by one point.
Is that right?
Is that by two?
Two shit.
You're fucked because it's only worth half a point.
Oh, damn.
All right.
I'm going to go false.
I'm going to go false.
This is true.
Yes.
Patrick.
Get out of town.
Swept us, dude.
I think I've really figured out Edwin's brain.
You're inside of it.
You're living rent free in there.
Should we do a 10-pointer?
Yeah, why not?
We should.
Let's actually make it worth a hundred.
please.
Okay.
This one's worth 99.
Oh,
99.
That's so unfair how that always happens.
In Namibia,
wild ostriches have the legal
right of way on rural highways.
That's funny.
It's definitely true.
I think it's true?
Yeah,
just because I want 100 points.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
No.
You're the way.
I got to,
I need to go.
That's not how it works.
Because I'm in the lead,
I go last.
That's fair.
Lead means first.
Well,
that's true.
Because then you give the,
other people on opportunity.
Okay. What you already get because it's worth 99 points.
This is false. I think people aren't encouraged to just blast ostriches on the highway,
but I think there's no laws governing who has the right of way. True. Absolutely true.
What did you do for us? Uh, true. I did true.
Yeah. It is false. Dude, Patrick was like a hundred and four points over us.
Here it's, he got all the.
Questions correct. Yeah, exactly. It's 104 points to like two and three. Edwin hits you up pre-pod. Yeah, he's texting him the answers. Yeah. I'll tell you why I thought that was true because I've been to Namibia. I spent like three weeks there. I loved it. And we bought a shitty car and drove around Namibia. And there were ostriches everywhere on the roads. Which I was like, that kind of makes sense. Like they could easily put that law into place so that people aren't just driving a million miles an hour like hitting their horns at the ostriches. Right. Yeah. Of course.
I mean, if you got a bunch of ostriches.
Did you have any like times where you were like had to stop your car to let an ostrich cross the road?
Oh, absolutely.
Like that first photo that Kyle has up there.
It was like that very regularly.
But the thing is most of the roads are as you go to the second photo over like that where they're big and flat.
So you see them like two miles out.
So it's not like you're like, oh God, you know, you like slow down to the ostriches on the road.
Well, like out here, you know, if you go through a wooded area and there's deer and it's always curvy.
The deer just like jump right out.
They're trying to hit you.
Yeah, like legit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In places with like the big deer populations like at dusk and at night.
Oh man.
It's brutal.
It can be some white knuckle driving.
Absolutely, dude.
And it's all curvy and they just come right out of the woods.
If you're going fat, like I am crazy with the speed limit because I've been in a car that
hit a deer and I've seen the car right in front of me hit a deer.
Like it can blow out your windshield, especially if you're on the highway.
It can really fuck you up.
Airbags deployed.
Yeah.
You get a hoof in the wind shield.
Imagine hitting a moose at speed.
Oh, my God.
I've always thought about that.
It's like, yeah, we have deer to contend with.
But if you live in like Alaska or Canada, imagine if you hit a moose going 60.
Moose kill more people than bear in Alaska because of that.
Because of car accidents?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know his car accidents.
I knew the statistic, but I didn't know his car accident.
Well, think about it.
Yeah.
They're tall.
Look at that.
And they have these skinny little legs and a 1,500 pound body.
Straight into the windshield.
So you hit it.
Oh, yeah.
1500 pounds of body.
Look at that one.
That's crazy.
He's literally in the driver's seat.
Well, they're also just very kind of like, F you.
Like, this is my territory.
I won't be moving.
I mean, when that body comes through the windshield, like,
yeah, it's crazy.
It's hard to imagine anyone's surviving that.
Dude, these photos are hard to look at it.
Yeah, it's brutal.
Get them out of here, Kyle.
What are you doing?
I mean, you almost need to drive like a raised car if you live in moose territory.
It's like eight feet tall.
Absolutely.
That'd be amazing.
And you get a kangaroo bar on them.
know what those are?
Is it like a ram bar?
Dude, it's a real thing that they have for truckers in the outback because they hit so many
kangaroos on the road that they build these kangaroo bars on the front of their trucks.
Crazy.
But if you hit a moose with that thing, it's not going to do shit.
The body's still coming into your windshield.
100%.
You need like one of those like Middle Eastern armored cars.
You know where like the arms go over the windshield?
Right.
Yeah.
It's got to like have a raised thing in the front.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
About like 15 years ago, I saw a thing that there were so many carjackings in Johannesburg
that the wealthy people were having these aftermarket flame throwers installed on the sides of the car.
That's amazing.
Press a button and it would shoot flames out.
You got to love Joe Berg.
Not only do I completely believe that, they're the place that invented the condom.
Oh, I've heard about that.
Remember that?
Yeah.
It's just, it's South Africa.
There's no lack of innovation for their crime.
The condom now is something that the female inserts in, and then if somebody penetrates, it spikes into their shaft.
Exactly.
Reverse barbs.
Yeah, and you pull it out, and it's stuck on there, and then they got it.
There's no other way to get rid of it except for going to the doctor.
That's right.
And they're turning themselves in, basically.
Yep.
It is awful.
Look at these little sedans with flamethrowers on the side.
I just want that.
I love it.
It's great.
Dude.
Anti-carjacking weapons invented in 1997.
I'm 100% serious about this.
I'm 100% serious about this.
If any Brosner listening to this
has any experience in this kind of body shop work,
I will have this put on my truck.
If you haven't seen my truck,
it's a big Jeep, it's lifted,
it's gone big tires.
If I could have flame throwers coming out of the side
of the step bar,
I will pay for whomever is listening
to install them onto my truck.
I'm not to do this, so I can't do that in California, but in a lot of states you can.
Do you think it's specifically outlawed or it's like, I mean, you can't do it legally, but that doesn't mean you can't do it.
Unless you're actually throwing flame, how are they going to know?
You got to have it, you got to have it like double wired so it can also spray water.
So like if they come up to you, just like, oh, yeah, it's just, here's the thing.
And I'll still stand by my earlier statement that I'll do it.
But if I use it once, I will burn down the entire state of California.
I know.
Just driving around.
So what happened last night?
What happened yesterday in where we live?
The storm.
So we had this big winter storm come in.
Yep.
Dumped at my house 2.7 inches of rain in seven hours.
Yep.
Which is a huge amount of rain.
Flood warnings all day.
Flood and high wind advisories.
Yeah.
Yeah.
50 mile an hour winds.
Yeah.
So it was same here.
Muts slides.
Yeah.
Insane rain.
I had some pumps out.
I was dealing with the stuff.
Same, same, same.
Guess what happened when I drove to the studio today?
Wait, why?
I drove by a brush fire.
No, you didn't.
I swear to God.
How is that possible?
Don't know.
Someone obviously just like dumped a can of gas.
It looked like it had already been extinguished and it was just the smoke.
Oh, man.
I was looking at it was like, how is something on fire that has to be a structure fire?
I almost took my shoes off to come into the studio because it's so wet outside.
I know.
Like, what?
Somebody was probably like, I wonder if, like, what?
wet stuff really can't burn. Let's find out.
Let me put a bunch of kerosene on it.
Insane.
Yeah.
Insane what's going on.
Hey,
um,
one thing I wanted to talk about the Brosner's is the battle royale game.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
It's super fun.
We made it.
We love the game.
We sat on it for a long time.

Battle Royale's perfect for you.
You guys are going to like it.
A ton of fun animated cards.
We've got situations.
We've got animal superpowers.
It's really educational.
Let me not pull out a situation card.
It leads to a lot of laughs.
Yeah,
and it's fun.
And it makes you argue
and have fun with your friends in a good way.
And, you know,
it's great banter.
Just like we do on the Battle Royale,
the fun part isn't just creating
the animal. It's arguing for why yours
is better. Exactly. And that's where
it becomes actually a fun drinking game. And we did
all the art. This is pre the days of
like putting a prompt into an AI
machine to give you art. Like we did
all the art ourselves. You know, we love
it. And we hope you guys do too. So check out
the Battle Royale game. Please, there'll be a
