Speaker 1: And this is sent in by Jonathan Dawtry from Instagram.

52
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jonathan. Man covered his face with tattoos and

53
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: turned his eyes black. He says it cost him his

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: kindergarten teaching job. There is a photo of this man.

55
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: This man is fucking terrifying. He literally tattooed his eyeballs

56
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: so that the he had the whites of his eyes

57
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: are surgically turned black. Like, okay, he looks so like

58
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: a demon, Like I honestly like, I can understand being

59
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: upset if you tattooed your face. I mean maybe I

60
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: can maybe understand tattooing your whole face and then losing

61
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: your kindergarten teaching job and being like yes, unfair, yes,

62
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: the black eyes. Like if my daughter saw this man,

63
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: she would have nightmares for a fucking year. Yeah, I

64
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: love it. So there's this picture of this essentially demon man,

65
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: and then the quote underneath it is Helene says he

66
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: loves being a primary school teacher.

67
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: No, I bet he does.

68
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: Oh man, he's got a weird way of showing it.

69
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: What's his name, Helene, He's French. This is on CNN

70
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: story by Reuters. Oh yeah, here it is a school

71
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: teacher whose body, face and tongue are covered in tattoos

72
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: and who has had the whites of his eyes surgically

73
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: turned black. Said he was prevented from teaching at a

74
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: French kindergarten after a parent complained he scared their child,

75
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: but the teacher, Sylvan Helene, thirty five, still teaches children.

76
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: From the ages of six.

77
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: End up, man, France is a fucking wild country.

78
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: Francis wild.

79
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: They're just like, Okay, five year olds can't handle this,

80
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: but if you're six, you can have the demon face

81
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: teacher with his tongue tattooed too. Oh man. He says

82
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: that after an initial shock when they see him for

83
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: the first time, his pupil see passed his appearance, right,

84
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: which I get, Like, what is the point of tattooing

85
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: your eyeball's tongue and face if you want people to

86
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 1: see past your appearance, Like you're putting your appearance really

87
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: in people's face.

88
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, use him like a blackboard, That's what I say. Like,

89
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: give the kids some chalks. See what they come up with,

90
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: like let him right on his face, on his tongue,

91
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: on his eyes.

92
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: If he was tattooed with just like the alphabet and

93
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: like one through ten, so that so that he was

94
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: he was a tool for teaching. I would, yeah, would

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: change it, you know, I would have my opinion about this.

96
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Okay, here's a quote. All of my

97
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: students and their parents were always cool with me because

98
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: basically they knew me, said Helene, who estimated he has

99
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: spent around four hundred and sixty hours under the tattooist's needle.

100
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Damn hours is he spent teaching? Yeah, it's four hundred

101
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: and sixty hours. Only when people see me from far

102
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: away that they can assume the worst.

103
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 2: What that they died five minutes ago and archangel is

104
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: coming to drag you to the That is Oh this picture,

105
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: he looks like night Crawler and the X Men's stuff.

106
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: If anybody's ever seen that, Look this guy up. He

107
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: looks dark. Oh yeah, we support making any choices you

00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: want to make to your own body, but this is

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: a scary looking guy.

110
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: He's he's terrifying. I love him too, He's I think

111
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: he's banana of the week. Yeah, like, just I love

112
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: that idea. It is I feel like and maybe I'm

113
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: being I don't I don't think this is enophobic of

114
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: saying like it's a specific type of French confidence that

115
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: he would be like, I'm going to turn my eyes

116
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: black and of course I will still teach kindergarten. Yes,

117
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: of course I will. I cannot. I am offended?

118
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: Is he hurt or angry? Does the article make him

119
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: seem like he's just he's bummed out.

120
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: That he can only teach six six six six year

121
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: old kids end up? Yeah, because he used to teach

122
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: five year olds. That's It's It's so crazy to me.

123
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: I like when people have to get to have to

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: get to know somebody and then ended up liking them

125
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: that they don't think they would like. I was in

126
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: high school. Baltimore County suddenly introduced astronomy as like a

127
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: general education credit and I didn't care, so I took it.

128
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: I was like, this will be funny, and it was

129
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: so easy. It was like the most basics based stuff.

130
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: But then they were like, hey, we're going to take

131
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: fifteen kids from your high school since it's like a

132
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: new program to Hawaii to go to Mona Lo and

133
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: Monachea to go to the Atmospheric and Astronomic Observatory. Do

134
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: you want to go? And we all had to sell grapefruits.

135
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: We had to do a big fundraiser where we like

136
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: sell boxes fruits. Yeah, it was like a weird citrus fundraiser.

137
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: And so you said, and so I have.

138
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: It was a ton of profit on grapefruit sales.

139
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know shipping alone, and so you had

140
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: to sew them by the box. I have a huge

141
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: family and billions of ants and uncles. So I sold

142
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: a lot of grape fruits and I went and I'd

143
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: never been I don't even been on a plane once before.

144
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: I was seventeen. And so we were flying to Hawaii,

145
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: which I think it was like a fourteen hour flight

146
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: from Maryland. And my buddy Mike, Mike Milly used to

147
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: have like green hair, like really shock like neon green hair.

148
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: It kind of looked like the Joker in a way,

149
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: like eargage is tons of jewelry, big black baggy jeans.

150
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: Whatever that style was in the late nineties, early two thousands,

151
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: the gadzook style. Anyways, this we were flying coach, I'm sure,

152
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: and he got a window seat, and then this like

153
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: eighty five year old woman comes on and sits next

154
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: to him. But she froze as soon as she saw Mike.

155
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: She just stood there in the aisle and looked at him,

156
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: and I heard her go okay. And then and then

157
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: fourteen hours later, she is holding his forearm. They're laughing,

158
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: She's leaning her head into him. She absolutely fell for him.

159
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: He like flipped her whole biases against him. It was

160
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: beautiful thing to watch. And then we just partied in

161
00:08:58,679 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: Hawaii for a week and a half.

162
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. I do love a turnaround. I

163
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: love a turnaround. I remember I had in second grade.

164
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: My I had a teacher Catholic school, Saint Catharine's jersey

165
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: called Missus high Horse. That was her legit name she had.

166
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if she was

167
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: Native American or if she had married a Native guy,

168
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: but her last name was Missus high Horse. And Missus

169
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: high Horse hated my fucked guts to the point where

170
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: like I was, I was like hyperactive. I probably would

171
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: have been diagnosed with add if it was like a

172
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: little later on, but that wasn't a thing yet. And

173
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: I would. I took Irish step dancing. And this is

174
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: what drove her crazy the most, because I took Irish

175
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: step dancing when I was a kid against my will.

176
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: I didn't give a shit about it, but I would.

177
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I would like practice during class in my chair. I

178
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: would just turn to the side and start Irish step

179
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: dancing a normal thing. This is actually first grades, not

180
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: second grades. First grade. So again, six years old, Uh

181
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: so I'm Irish step dancing. I'm super And my mom

182
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: always just told her, like, just let him run around

183
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: that school once, he'll be fine. Yeah, I get it out,

184
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: but she literally and this is totally illegal nowadays. I

185
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: guess you can still do to Catholic schools. You can

186
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: do whatever the fuck you want to kids in Catholic school.

187
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: She separated me from the class and put my uh

188
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: my desk facing the wall in a corner so that

189
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: I was away from everyone, couldn't see the board. The

190
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: blackboard was behind me, and I wasn't allowed to turn

191
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: around because I would start to dance. And then that's

192
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: how I went through first grade. I didn't learn anything.

193
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't taught. I was just in a corner for

194
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: the entirety of first grade dancing.

195
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,359
Speaker 2: Your calves looked great, though.

196
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: My calves looked great. I could Irish step dance amazingly.

197
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: That's so funny. Yeah, we had a teacher, chemistry teacher,

198
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,880

201
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: eyewash shower or our body shower if you got chemicals

202
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 2: all over yourself, and it was called Siberia. And once

203
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: whenever student was pissing them off, we get sent to Siberia.

204
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,640

290
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: around the corner from Byron Bay because Byron Bay was

291
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: all blown out, and so we woke I woke up

292
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,400

00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: the bush to get to this beach that's like on

294
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: the other side of Byron Bay. It's just an empty

295
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: It is like you have to go through the woods,

296
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: which and you know, through the woods, and then you

297
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: come to this beach and it's probably ten miles long. Yes,

298
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: completely empty, no one is there, cool and like, and

299

300
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,080

303
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: white caps breaking all over the place. There was nothing

304
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: even to surf. But I was just like so like

305
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm in Australia. Yeah, you're doing it because you're the

Speaker 2: Let's get the fuck out.

311
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've done that so often. And as I was surfing,

312
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: I just got a fuh do you know what I mean?

313
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: I got a vibe. There was like a lot of

314
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: water moving around that day, and I just got like

315
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: a real sharky vibe. And then out of nowhere, like

316
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: three dolphins just like around me, so like two on

317
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: one side and one on the other just breached and

318
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: just I literally screamed because I've been like feeling really

319
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: like oh and all of a sudden like like just

320
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: porpoises jumping out, and I was like, and then that

321
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: was it. I was just like, that's it.

322
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: I'm going in.

323
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm going in.

324
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: That happens sometimes.

325
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: I got out and I have this book. I had

326
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: this book of like Australian surfing spots and it was

327
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: and I read about the spot that I was at,

328
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: and this very famous Australian surfer got killed by a

329
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: shark at that exact place in like the nineties. And

330
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: I was and they're like, this is an extremely sharky spot.

331
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 2: That's so funny. Yeah, I bet that scream was like

332
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: that wasn't your tough guy scream. That wasn't like.

333
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: Whoa, No, that was.

334
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: Just alone in Australian on a surfboard in the morning

335
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: and just to call the wild comes out of Curt.

336
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: I love that I was in Redondo. Down in Redondo Beach,

337
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: we didn't we won't be well, we already missed it.

338
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: In September. Down there, there's a seafood place and they

339
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: do a lobster fist and it's super fun. And my

340
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: friend Melissa and Norris they always go down and we

341
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: ride our bikes down to Redondo and you get a

342
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: big tray with a lobster and with potatoes and corn

343
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: and the works. It's so good. You get beers, you

344
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 2: sit outside, you get sloppy. So we were doing that

345
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: and we got hammered at this place called Old Tony's.

346
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: It's the best bar on the pier down there.

347
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: Fun. I want to do that again.

348
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: I hope they all last. And so we're annihilated on

349
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: these drinks called fire Chiefs from Old Tony's. We eat lobster,

350
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: were covered in like butter and chopped lobster, and we're

351
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: all and so we're like, oh, the sun setting, let's

352
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: go for a swim. So my friend Russy and I

353
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: were like literally just wrestling in the waves. Melissa Norse

354
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: are out floating way too far from shore, like just

355
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: being sweet, having romantic moment. Lifeguards, the chairs are tipped over,

356
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 2: they're done for the day. And I suddenly realized we're

357
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: just covered as essentially in lobster, chum and butter, and

358
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: I'm like, let's get out. So we get out and

359
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: we go back home, and I had a cousin that

360
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: was crashing with me and she was like, how was it.

361
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, it was so fun. We just

362
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: got done swimming. We're a little salty. We're all going

363
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: to shower. She goes, where were you? We were like Redondo?

364
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: She goes, Oh, they just saw four great whites there

365
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: today and on the local news story there were like

366
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 2: four juvenile great whites and we you know, I can't imagine. Yeah,

367
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: and we're just floating around, flailing, violently slapping each other

368
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: with saying like we were prime. Honestly, the sharks were

369
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 2: probably like, I think I'll barf if I eat whatever

370
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: these people are up to.

371
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: The butter probably helped keep them away.

372
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just was like a seal. I was just

373
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: moving in and out of waves so slickly. That was great.

374
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: All right, let me get let me, let me tease

375
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,600

00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: This guy has the perfect loom. Person name Terry Pearson

411
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: was sitting in his Sunset Park home, watching TV and

412
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: drinking Scotch on Wednesday night when he noticed an odd

413
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: lump beneath his loom. No, so, I grabbed my flashlight

414
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: and moved the sheet, and there's this face looking back

415
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: at me, recalled the sixty two year old who weaves

416
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: in his spare time. The lump was Johnny's Soto, nineteen

417
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: year old. He managed to escape federal custody on Wednesday afternoon,

418
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: sending NYPD officers, FBI agents, and neighbors on an hour's

419
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: long man hunt through the backyards of Sunset Park's twenty

420
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: sixth Street near Third Avenue. I fucking lived on twenty

421
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: fifth Street between fourth and fifth. This was a block

422
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: away from where I used to live. WHOA Sodo was

423
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: on his way to Metropolitan Detention Center, which is right

424
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: over there, for a weapons charge when he somehow broke

425
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: free from the moving vehicle at around four pm. First off,

426
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: Johny Soda, nice fucking work like that's pretty cool. Yeah,

427
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: you were being transporter. You broke free from like a

428
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: like a like a cop car or something.

429
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like the beginning of the rock or yeah,

430
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: that's like a movie. That's so cool. He must be

431
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: very powerful.

432
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: And cops and fba EE agent spent the afternoons scouring

433
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. Soda was apparently hiding just a few feet

434
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: away from Pears. This is so creepy. He's been sitting

435
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: beyond my living room chair where I've been sitting for

436
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: the last three hours, under a dust covered sheet of

437
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: a piece of furniture. I bet you this guy was like,

438
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: I'll just hide here for a second. There's no way

439
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: that this weird man is gonna sit in his chair

440
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: for three fucking hours. But it's like you chose the

441
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: wrong You chose the guy who weaves man. He's got patience. Pearson,

Speaker 1: like really low down.

451
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

456
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: Wow. New Yorkers are so weird like that. They will

457
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: do that like that. When you live in New York

458
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: long enough, like by year four in New York, you

459

460
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 2: that you don't care. Like I had a guy break

461
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: into my Brooklyn apartment. I might have talked it on

462
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 2: the pod once I didn't. I yelled at him, and

463
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: but I went right back to my day soon after.

464
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: And I remember I was waiting tables at this place

465
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: called two Boots. It's not the regular pizza place. It

466
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 2: was in Park Slope and it had a full bar.

467
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: It was so fun, and all the drinkers there were

468
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: retired cops or gangsters that had gotten out of jail.

469
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: These were guys in their sixties and seventies and literally

470
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: shoulder to shoulder retired cop, former gangster, retired cop. Former.

472
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: So I was working a day shift and I think

Speaker 2: bushy tailed, skinny white kid looked Midwestern, like just happiest shit.

475
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: Park Slope was so safe by then that it was

476
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 2: just like I live in New York and you're like, yeah,

477
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: it's kind of like an Epcot. Park Slope should be

478
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: an Epcot at this point. And he had like a

479
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: backpack on and he's just like, yeah, I'm looking at

480
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: apartments all day, and Vanessa was like, do you want

481
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: to be here? He's like sure, what do you have?

482
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,680

484
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: bar is a former gangster named Tommy Black, and he's

485
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: like sixties, big heavy set guy, like straight out Soprano's

486
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,120

487
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: glass with ice and then half coke half red wine,

488
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,080

00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: it to him when he was kid.

00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, some people called a Mussolini too. I think I

492
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: might be wrong about that, but I think some people

493
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: call that. Anyways, he said to me he was a

494
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: kid his Italian mom in like sheep said Bay would

495
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: make them drink red wine to put them to sleep

496
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: when the adults were talking, which I always thought was good.

497
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: So Tommy's just sitting there with his like fifth pint

498
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: glass of coke and wine, and this kid is just

502
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: but go ahead.

503
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: I know people that have gotten the gout for drinking

504
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 2: beer too much in some road comics, and then I

505
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: see them drinking red wine but they just can't handle

506
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: it on their own, so they drink that drink and

507
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, just stop drinking for a year. Anyways. So

508
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: there's this white reed thin uh, just kid that's happy.

509
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,040

00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: Slow me a bartender and Tommy Black and he's like, yeah,

514
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: You're near this and this, and then Tommy Black goes,

515
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,399

516
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 2: blown up. And I started laughing when he said blown up.

517
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: I said, you've been blown up? He goes, yeah, I

518
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 2: was hiding up in a guy's ceiling. I got caught

519
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: when I was trying to rob and they knew I

520
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: was in there, so they just lit the whole place

521
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: on fire. I fell through the ceiling and ran out

522
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: of there. That's when they arrested me. And this little

523
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,960

528
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: just saying shot and stabbed is enough to freak. But

529
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: then he got blown up.

530
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,320

00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were, so in case anybody knows, so this

543
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: was I lived in Windsor in Windsor Terrace. Windsor Terrace

544
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: is that what was called Windsor Terrace for ten years

545
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: And at the time there's a there's another bar now,

546
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: which is very nice, but at the time the only

547
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: bar in Windsor Terrace was Farrells. And it was like

548
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: an institution, and it was just and like every Saint

549
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day you were you could weird weirdly, not even

550
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: just on Saint Patrick's Day, no year round, year round.

551
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: You could get a like a third two ounce styrost

552
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: Folme cup filled with beer and then just walk out

553
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: the door.

554
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: It was only Budweiser and it was ice cold. No

555
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: stools at the bar. They had zero stools.

556
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: That stay d of the bar and they did their things.

557
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: I bet it's still there. But the one other thing

558
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: they had was during the day, so many like blue

559
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: collar and working class people would roll through. Almost all men.

560
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: I don't even know why I said. People at it

561
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: all men. Yeah, I don't think they like an electrician,

562
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: an HVAC guy, a plumber. They had a wine glass

563
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: of Budweiser for a dollar that these guys would pull up,

564
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: not even turn their truck off. Come in, put two

565
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: dollars on the bar, get a wine glass of Budweiser,

566
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: drink it in one golf and then walk out the door.

567
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: So crazy.

568
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: It's old school weird shit.

569
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: So we went in there. We had shot. We just

570
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: finished shooting Penelope, Princess of Pets, Yes we did, which

00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: We made it in two thousand and five. A girl

573
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: who can talk to animals and has to save the

574
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: world by killing a senator played by Kristin Shaw and

575
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,440

576
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: her foulmouth bird Ruby, and so we finished shooting. I

577
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: guess Kristin and I probably were still in costume, no change.

578
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: You were in a snowcoat, yeah, and I was in

579
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: full work here. I was in car hearts and everything

580
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: because I was doing all the production jobs, so we

595
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: the bar and kept drinking. And then I accidentally took

596
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: someone's bag. Do you remember this?

597
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,000

Speaker 2: No, we had production equipment with us. We had cameras

599
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: and lights and sound stuff. And when we were leaving,

600
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 2: this scared wild eyed guy squirreling. Different dude goes, you

601

00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: I can't believe you don't remember this, because we he

605
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: looked like a nerve, a drunk nervous breakdown. If a

606
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: wizard could turn a drunk nervous breakdown into a drunk

607
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: it was this guy. And I handed it to him

608
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: and he was like he thought he was going to

609
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 2: have to fight us both. He was ready to brawl,

610
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: but then we were like, oh, we're so sorry, sir,

611
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: here's your He just like trembled and walked back in.

612
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: The first woman ever drank there was Shirley McLain. The

613
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: first woman ever allowed to drink out of at Farrell's

614
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: was Shirley McClain. That's a true story.

615
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: Holy shit, I had no idea. Yeah, that's real.

616
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: Weird.

617
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it still exists, but it's a strange place. Also,

618
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: never went back after that. I don't think I never

619
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: went back. I was like, I'm not into this vibe.

620
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't want Like, what, why are you here? This

621
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: is a fucking bar, you weirdo?

622
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, weirdly, And I've noticed this other places in New York,

623
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. A lot of people hate those cities

624
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: for a variety of reasons. But one thing I will

625
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: say is I've never felt like I was gonna get

626
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: into any type of fight or bar fight or anything

627
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: in either of those cities. Unless New York you're at

628
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: like a bridge and tunnel type of bar or club.

629
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: Then it's just it's not New Yorkers or whoever. And

630
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: in La i've really I guess if you were on

631
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: like the Strip or someplace. But and then you go

632
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: other places and you walk in and you're like, oh,

633
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: there's a tension here. People are drinking because they don't

634
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: feel emotions five days a week, and on the sixth

635
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 2: day they boil over and men and women want to

636
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 2: start throwing hands. You know what I have? Yes, I

637
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: have a beverage story. You want to hear a beg?

638
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: Pardon me if I laughed my way through this one,

639
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: because sometimes they tickle me. Just raight. This was sent

640
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: in from Kat Theo Thank you Kat on Instagram. Here's

641
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: the headline, caffeine hit man who had five coffees goes

642
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: berserk at cinema and hastings. Okay, okay, the details.

643
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: I like what berserk is used in an official headline.

644
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: This is from the New Zealand Herald. There was no writer,

645
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: so we'll just thank all of New Zealand for this.

646
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: Here we go. I will try to get through this.

647
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: A man has claimed an adverse reaction to coffee forced

648
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: him to throw up in a Hastings movie theater, head

649
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: butt a staff member and resist police arrest. Eh Bruce

650
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: Royal great name Bruce Royal, forty three, pleaded guilty to

651
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: Hastrings District Court on Tuesday of charges of common assault

652
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: and resisting police. Here's the details. Oh God, Royal not

653
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: usually a coffee drinker. You know, when you're gonna go

654
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: to the cinema and you just want to drink five

655
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: cups of coffee, cups of coffee.

656
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: Before you sit down for two hours.

657
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 2: Forty three years old, but good decision entered the Focal

658
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: Point Cinema after he said he'd finish five cups of

659
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 2: black coffee in a short period of time. He threw

660
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: up in the foyer or the foyer, helping staff to

661
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: clean it up with a mop and bucket if it

662
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: gets better. Royle then walked towards the counter, pushing out

663
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: pushing out staff members excuse me, before making his way

664
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 2: behind it and stealing four bottles of water valued at

665
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: four dollars each, out of the fridge. He then once

666
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: again pushed staff members out of the way, ending back

667
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: up on the public side of the counter. Then his

668
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: apparent caffeine fuel behavior escalated. Does this guy do it?

669
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: Oh god? Royle began to drink from the bottles before

670
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: squirting members of the public with water.

671
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: This is not coffee behavior. I don't think anyone could

672
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: argue that he drank coffee.

673
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows. They don't say what movie it's watching.

674
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: She pisses me off. The manager of Focal Point Cinemas

675
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: then approached Royle, who became aggressive, step forward and had

676
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: butted him in the face. Oh God, I gotta find

677
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: the surveyance footage of this. Okay, so Royle was approached.

678
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: Oh the manager suffered a sore nose and lip I

679
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: Betty did, and then the police recalled to the scene.

680
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: Royle was then approached by the police and was informed

681
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: he was under wrist but he pushed the officers away

682
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: and ran. He was then confronted by another officer and

683
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: ran again, but tripped over tripped over carpet as he

684
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: was headed towards the exit. Guy. This guy's living a

685
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: Looney Tunes Leslie Nielsen movie. Because of five cups of coffee.

686
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 2: It's like, God, damn, this is so good to me.

687
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: The police constable and several other police officers tried to

688
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: handcuff him on the ground, but he refused to place

689
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: his arms behind his back and wrestled with them. He

690
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 2: was instructed and warned to stop, but finally it took

691
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 2: three officers to handcuff him. Defense counsel Matthew Dixon told

692
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: Royle told the judge that Royle had completed an anger

693
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: management class and said the cinema staff were understanding in

694
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: regards to the incident. He was ordered to pay three

695
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 2: hundred dollars for emotional reparation fine three hundred.

696
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: Dollars for a buck. I know, I feel like I'm

697
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars emotionally damaged.

698
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And at the time of the rest, Royal told

699
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: the judge quote he was stressed out but was sorry

700
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 2: for his actions. He has not previously appeared before the court.

701
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I feel like one of those

702
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: cups of coffee was just a cup of meth. That

703
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: sounds like meth. Behavior that does not or whatever they

704
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: call it. New Zealand like ice or whatever.

705
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, chippy funnies. Yeah, isn't that so insane? Also, like

706
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: if you don't drink coffee and then you're going to

707
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: go to a movie, you don't go and maybe you're like,

708
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: I'm a little tired. I don't know if I'm gonna

709
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 2: stay awake for this movie. Have one cup of coffee?

710
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 2: Have two? Five? Turned this man into the incredible Hawk

711
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: And it's so funny. You can just imagine him Everybody

712
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: being like, wait, what is happening? And just jittery. I

713
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 2: love this guy.

714
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like do you remember, like in

715
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: the eighties, just from from television and film PCP. That's

716
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: what PCP was. And I don't even know what PCP is,

717
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Either, Like I have

718
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: no idea. I've never heard of anyone having it or

719
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: seen it any Yeah, with a large history of drugs,

720
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: have never come across PCP. And maybe it's just meth,

721
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's like a A but I remember it like

722
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 1: in the Terminator, Like you know the Terminator like punches

723
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: his fist through the through the like front glass the

724
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: windshield of a car, and then she goes to the

725
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: cops and she's like that he's a robot, Like he

726
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: punched through and He's like, when somebody's on PCP, they'll

727
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: be able to punch right through that they won't. They'll

728
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: break every phone in their hand and they won't feel

729
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: a thing. And I always would always think about that, Yeah,

730
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: this is coffee. Is his PCP makes you want to

731
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: do PCP?

732
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was always you'll agree with me on this.

733
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 2: This is what they always said about PCP. He got

734
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: up on a building and thought he could fly and

735
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: jumped off and died. They've always talked about people in

736
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 2: Piece of B jumping off of buildings because they thought

737
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 2: they were Superman or something. And I'm like, did I

738
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 2: think that happened in Lethal weapon too or something? I

739
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: don't think that ever really happened, happened.

740
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: In real life. It does sound like the craziest drug ever.

741
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: And you always would get the same thing. You would

742
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: get the same thing where someone was like, yeah, man,

743
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: somebody sold me this joint, but it was lace with PCP. Yeah, Angel,

744
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: there are people doing that. Why what drug dealers like?

745
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, what I would like to do is have

746
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: an additional cost to add an extra drug to this

747
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,479
Speaker 1: that's gonna make somebody freak out and maybe die, because

748
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: that's I just like doing that as a drug dealer.

749
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: It's fun, do you.

750
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: Know what I mean? I understand business, one less guy

751
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 2: to sell to a more expensive drug. I understand supply

752
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: and demand. Ah, it's so crazy. I think this. And

753
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: also DARE officers. I'm still obsessed with DARE officers because

754
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 2: I read this study that people who had DARE in

755
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: middle school and for our international listeners, we loved our

756
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: international but animals. DARE was a dumb Reagan. President Reagan

757
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 2: tried to go to the War on drugs. They sent

758
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: cops into middle schools and probably fourth and fifth grade

759
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: two to teach kids not to use drugs.

760
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: By teaching them all of the drugs.

761
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: Yes, And they proved, like over all these studies that

762
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 2: that day, the kids that had DAIR officers in their

763
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: school were like twenty nine percent more likely to hallucinate

764
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 2: in their life, use hallucinogens. And basically it introduced kids

765
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: that hadn't even heard of these possibilities to being like,

766
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 2: well that sounds kind of fun. Really, I can sit

767
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: inside and then I can just see visuals for six

768
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 2: hours and we had this guy and our Dare officer

769
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: was like, he looked like he rolled right out of

770
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: a brown paper bag, like bloodshot eyes, smelled like cigarettes,

771
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 2: you know, like chewing like nicorette before that was even

772
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: a thing. And this kid, this must have been fifth grade.

773
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,200

00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: seven capsules of heroin fentanyl.

813
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 5: Great, eleven pills of MTMA, six pills that were not controlled, oh,

814
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 5: just for fun, and eighteen pills of an unknown substance.

815
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 2: Holy.

816
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: They both the driver and pastor were arrested and her

817
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: name Saucy Regina Williams.

818
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 2: Oh Saucy.

819
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: That is I love the fact that there were shit.

820
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: First off, this is an amazing vagina. Amazing Like, we

821
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: know vaginas that they can give birth to babies, so

822
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 1: we know they're incredible capable of incredible feats of strength.

823
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: But this is thirty four plus fifteen plus seven plus

824
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,959
Speaker 1: eleven plus sixteen plus eighteen. That's an enormous I can't

825
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: even do that math. Do numbers go up that high?

826
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, yes, But the fact that six of

827
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: the pills were not controlled is my favorite part. That

828
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: would just like just pop those up there as well.

829
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: Saucy is lucky she didn't like slip on the way

830
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 2: of the car into a split engin pop those pills.

831
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: She would have had a She would have had a

832
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: week to remember it lotmore.

833
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: It would have been so many different experiences. It would

834
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: have been like first the crack hits, then the heroine hits,

835
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: then the MDMA hits, then the six pills that maybe

836
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: were just vitamin B.

837
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: My buddy who will rename remain nameless for this, was

838
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 2: given a bunch of molly just that like at some

839
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 2: event or something, and he was like, oh cool, thanks,

840
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: and didn't take it and put it in his luggage,

841
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 2: and six years later realized that he had never taken

842
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 2: out his luggage and he had flown around the world

843
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 2: many many times all his traveling, he had never he

844
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: just forgot it was in the side pouch. So he'd

845
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: basically been flying with drugs there isn't and never got stopped,

846
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: never got just got away with it.

847
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: I have done that multiple times because I used to

848
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: always just have a when weed was still illegal, a

849
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: one hitter in my bag at all times, because you

850
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: never know. I wish I could still smoke weed. But

851
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 1: you never know when you're just gonna need a little,

852
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, some weed to have and uh and I

853

Speaker 1: would accidentally fly with it all the time.

854
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah it was. You just forget about that kind of stuff.

855
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: It happens, It happens, goddamn it, Baltimore. I love you, Scottie.

882
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: one of his customers, Carlos Valdez, thank you. Carlos began

883
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 2: recording Newi's deliveries with his family at the front door

884
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 2: and sharing them on social media platform TikTok. Derlan is

885
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 2: known for saying quote, hello, are you guys looking for

886
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: some pizza when he delivers, and Nui's I know, hello,

887
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 2: are you looking for some pizza? I mean what at

888
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: eighty nine eighty nine? If I see eighty I'm going

889
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 2: to high five myself until I die. Newie soon became

890
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: a fan favorite of Valdez's fifty thousand, fifty three thousand

891
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 2: TikTok followers, and it's insane. Everybody loves him, says Valdez,

892
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 2: adding that many of his followers followers commented on the

893
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 2: frustration that Newie still had to work, as do Kurt

894
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 2: and I somebody at that age should not be working

895
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 2: that much. So the Valdez family got an idea to

896
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: outsource funds from their followers and help out NWI. Collectively,

897
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 2: a TikTok community came together and we were able to

898
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 2: raise twelve thousand dollars for this amazing person, said Valdez, Carlos,

899
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: you're a very good guy for doing this. How do

900
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: I ever say thank you? Oh? So what they did

901
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 2: is they ordered a pizza and when he got there,

902
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 2: they surprised him and you can watch this on TikTok.

903
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 2: They made a surprise special delivery to new He's door.

904
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: So the Valdez has went to his house and Derlan said,

905
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 2: how do I ever thank you? I don't know what

906
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: to say. I don't know what to say except thank you.

907
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: It couldn't And then Valdez says, I'm glad we could

908
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 2: help him out. We just need to treat people to

909
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 2: kindness respect, which we do, and he stole our hearts.

910
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: Wow, I love that. Yeah, so great. Do you remember

911
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 1: do you remember when we did so we when Scotty

912
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: and I were this is didn't even make it into

913
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: the pilot, but we were shooting this pilot for Comedy Central.

914
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: It's called Better Dummer Faster, and it's like, oh, yeah,

915
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: how to make the world better in the dumbest way possible. Yes,

916
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: And what we did was was five hundred dollars only

917
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: it was five hundred dollars. We tied five hundred dollars

918
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: to a bunch of balloons.

919
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then just five thousand.

920
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: Now it's five hundred. It was just maybe it was

921
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: a thousand. It might have been one thousand dollars. I here,

922
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: let me just interject for one minute. We took Kyle Kanane,

923
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,919
Speaker 1: who's a very funny comedian and a buddy of ours.

924
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: We blindfolded him and put ear muffs on him so

925
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: he couldn't hear, and we took him to a casino

926
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: and we gave him five thousand dollars to play on

927
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: one hand of blackjack legally like wet did.

928
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 2: Real people do it, and he hit blackjack in five cards.

929
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 2: Kurt thought that I produced it. Kurt was mad at

930
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: me at first because he thought we faked it. It

931
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: was real. So we got ten thousand dollars. We doubled

932
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: the money, and then Kurt and Kyle handed out one

933
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 2: hundred dollars bills to all the people going into the

934
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 2: Hustler casino in Los Angeles. I think it was five grand, Kurt,

935
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 2: I think we took I think we took five grand

936
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: and tied it to a ton of balloons. Let it go.

937
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: We let it go, and it was the amount of

938
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: money that it was in there was. We just didn't

939
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,479
Speaker 1: have enough balloons because in my mind, what I wanted

940
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: to happen was I wanted all the balloons to like

941
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: go up into the stratosphere and then just go and

942
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 1: then like land in someone's backyard, and then the person's like,

943
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: fuck now I got to get rid of these fucking balloons.

944
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: And that goes over and then sees this big envelope

945
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: with five thousand dollars in it.

946
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 4: Yes, but instead it starts going up, beautiful starts going up,

947
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 4: and the wind's taking it and then it immediately gets

948
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 4: caught in the tree of the place across the street.

949
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could easily throw a baseball that far. You

950
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: were like, oh, we could have just handed it to sew.

951
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: So then we had let go and knock on the

952
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: door of the house and be like, these balloons are here.

953
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: There's something there for you. And it was very very

954
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: nice family, and they were overwhelmed and they were going

955
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: to use the money to set for their daughter's Kensinnia

956
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: and they yeah, like they're like, her birthday is next month,

957
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: and we didn't, you know, didn't have enough money to

958
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: do anything. And now she's gonna have this amazing Kincecegnia

959
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: and so it was like, it's very cool.

960
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was wind of wind of God.

961
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 2: Blew that I mean it went. Oh, it roared majestically

962
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen feet in the air and then just

963
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 2: blew directly across the street and honestly the third closest house,

964
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 2: thank god, somebody who was home.

965
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: No shit, that was the best.

966

Speaker 2: That was a good one. That was a good one.

967
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,440
