We're going 17 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 3: to learn about some weaponized balloons. We thought before we 18 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: get into any of that, that we might explore we 19 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: might spend the first part of tonight's program exploring just 20 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: various things that popped up that we thought were interesting. Yes, 21 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 3: the rumors are true. There is a group of one 22 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: hundred feral chickens terrifying a small village in Norfolk. There 23 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: are drones that are going to be first responders for 24 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: nine to one one calls at Colorado and Matt one story. 25 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: Maybe we begin here. 26 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: Well, can we begin with just a little bit more 27 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: about those chickens, because I want to know about these chickens. 28 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: They're feral. Does that mean they're like going around attacking people? 29 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 3: It means that they are a out of control nuisance 30 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 3: in Sneededisham, Norfolk. They are apparently not owned by anybody. 31 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 3: We'll get to the slingshot guy in the minute, which 32 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 3: I think we both really identify with these This town, Sneedisham, Norfolk, 33 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: is pretty small. It's a village and they have per 34 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: an article in the Guardian made life quite difficult for 35 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: the residents of this small town of Sneddensham. I'm not 36 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: sure how to say it. What would you say, snetti Sham, Sneedtisham, Yes, either. 37 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: Snedisham, I don't know, Sneedtisham. That's how I'd say. No, 38 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. 39 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: So people have Let's go to Rod McKenzie, counselor the 40 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: parish who said quote referring to the chickens. They're a 41 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 3: pain in the butt. If they come into your garden, 42 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 3: they dig everything up. It's not food for the chickens, 43 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 3: it's every bit of detritus they can find, and that 44 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 3: brings rats. 45 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 2: Dude, shout out for detritis in a quote. 46 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: What was it someone left the other week? A court 47 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 3: of pink prawns. The rats are quite sizable around here, 48 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 3: and they breed like hell. So probably there's a feedback 49 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: Blue created because people from round the land came to 50 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 3: see this roving band of this motley crew of feral chickens. 51 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 3: And when they do, just like people who visit Xingjing, 52 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: the one armed macaw monkey in China, when tourists visit, 53 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: they leave food for the chickens. Leaving food for the 54 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: chickens brings, of course, the rats. 55 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 2: What kind of food do you leave for the robot 56 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: dogs with large assault rifles attached to them that China 57 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: just unveiled. They unveiled not just a couple. Remember we 58 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: did an episode where oh, look, this one company made 59 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: this one type of robodog that has a sniper rifle 60 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: attached to it. Well, they just unveiled basically a battalion 61 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: of these robo dogs with assault rifles. 62 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: Which we immediately predicted would happen and be inevitable when 63 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: when this first came out, I would say, to answer 64 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: your question, there, Matt, the food you leave those dogs 65 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: is AMMO and batteries. 66 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: Yep, these are little robo pause to somehow flip it 67 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: around getting in the right slot. 68 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: So we wish the good people of Sneadisham Norfolk the best, 69 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: and don't want to sound too dismissive. They don't know 70 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: who owns the land in the forest where these chickens 71 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: appear too, you know that's their HQ. We don't know 72 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 3: who which human owns land yet, but we can say 73 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: you could always just eat them, right, they're chickens. You 74 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: can just kill them and eat them. I don't know. 75 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I guess. 76 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: So. 77 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,119 Speaker 2: There's another great quote from that Guardian article. A dog 78 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: walker who quote did not wish to be named, said quote, 79 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: people in the new houses are moaning about them, but 80 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: they've been here such a long time, and they are 81 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: more important things going on in the world than a 82 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: few chickens. They should get a life. 83 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: So maybe it's an hoa embellishing a problem which would 84 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: not be out of the bounds of Hams. 85 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: Can you imagine if that was just a thing like 86 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: local Hoa's would just go out and make a press 87 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: release about somebody's house that was just minorly unkept. 88 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: Get it in Deadline, get it in Hollywood. 89 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: Neighbors are furious. 90 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: Next thing, you know, we've got the evening news pundits saying, 91 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: let's talk about the real issues. Walter Starkley's grass is 92 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: out of control? 93 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: Has that dude? Yes, Ben, that's hilarious. Has there been 94 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: a sitcom that is just an hoa? 95 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: That's a great idea. 96 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: All right, we should cut that, just make the show. 97 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 3: So without further a duel. Let's also move on to 98 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: a story that I think spoke to both of us 99 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: and hopefully all of us listening along at home. What 100 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: does it feel like to fight the power? What does 101 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: it feel like to be a real life Bart Simpson? 102 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: For several years, Oh, I know what you're talking about. Ben. Guys, 103 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 2: there has been a serial slingshot sharpshooter that's been hanging 104 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: out in this little California town called a Zeusa, Azusa 105 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: for over a decade. There have been ball bearings just 106 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: flying willy nilly from somewhere nobody knows where, hitting cars, 107 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: at least to according to the reports in San Francisco Gate, 108 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: no human beings have been hit or injured by one 109 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: of these things. But imagine that you're just kind of 110 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: going about your day in your neighborhood wherever you live, 111 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: and every once in a while a giant ball bearing 112 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: zooms past you and impacts the Ford tourists that's parked 113 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: right on the side of the road. There. Not fun. 114 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: You feel like you were under attack maybe, but it also, 115 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: in a weird way, seems very Bart Simpson, As you said, Ben, 116 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: someone just doing some kind of what would you call that, Ben, 117 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 2: purposeful mischief? But it's not really, it's more of than mischief, 118 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: because that's. 119 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 3: Dangerous grassroots activism. I'm kidding, I kid, Yeah, this this idea, 120 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: we could call it mischief Dennis the Menace style. You know, 121 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: look at this rascal. But this rascal in this situation 122 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: is very lucky that they have not caused a grievous 123 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: harm to a person. 124 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: Agreed, But they could have, and maybe they would have 125 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: if they were escalating. Though ten years is a long 126 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: time for a serial slingshot or to escalate, you know, 127 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: what I mean. Usually that would be like first couple times, 128 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: then you move on to what aiming at those rope 129 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: what are those robot delivery things that George Washington saw 130 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: not too long ago, start knocking those Anyway, we have 131 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: good news.

Prince Raymond King, Yeah, dude, maybe one years old. 139 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: Dude, if only there was an L in there. So 140 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: it was Prince l ray King. So he's just like 141 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,119 Speaker 2: this guy's. 142 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,599 Speaker 3: Royalty Prince the King King, Yeah. 143 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: Exactly, the King King. Amazing. But yes, he and all 144 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: of the ball bearings were found and he's in big, 145 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: big trouble. According to San Gabriel Valley Tribune. 146 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, shout out to Nathaniel Percy, the journalist reporting there. 147 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: On May twenty fifth of twenty twenty four, as we record, 148 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 3: he was apparently not a super mobile operator. A lot 149 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: of the ball bearings shot via his sling shot appear 150 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: to have originated from his house yep on North Enid Avenue. 151 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: Just slang in him. Well, here's maybe why he wasn't 152 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: so mobile. At the time of his arrest. He was 153 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 2: eighty one years old. He is eighty one years old 154 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: because this just happened. But yeah, he's in jail now 155 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: for doing that, and he's been doing it for ten years. 156 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 2: So I guess once you hit like around seventy, the 157 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: thought of a slingshot pops into your head again at 158 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 2: some point. If you're Prince King and you're like, man, 159 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: slingshots were cool, I should get my hands on one 160 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: of those. Got all these old ball bearings from. But 161 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: do you have old ball bearings from? I don't even know. 162 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: Well, he got a deal on him somehow. He either 163 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: had them or went to a costco or something like that. 164 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 3: He's about twenty three miles east of La So West Coasters. 165 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: This could have been you. 166 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: Exactly, But I think what happened is you have that 167 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 2: idea of the sling shot, you find something to sling, 168 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: and then you let one rip right from your back. 169 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 2: Porch or something from your backyard, and you just wait 170 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: and then you hear and it's becomes addictive. I think 171 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: you just want to keep hearing that ding sound of 172 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: it impacting the side of a car or a house. 173 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 3: Yes, perhaps they also they also over at San Gabriel 174 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: Valley Tribune, they spoke to a police lieutenant, Jake Bushy, 175 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 3: who said, who confirmed most of these ball bearings were 176 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: launched from the King's yard. We're just gonna call him 177 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 3: the King. And one thing stood out to me here, Matt, 178 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: which is in Bushy's interview with the San Gabriel Valley Tribute. 179 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 3: He says, Look, we don't know why he was shooting 180 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: at some people or properties versus others. We're not aware 181 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: quote of any kind of motive other than just malicious mischief. 182 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: That's the term malicious mischief. If it was malicious, we 183 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: don't know why. Maybe he was compelled to do it 184 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: for some reason, and. 185 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 3: Maybe he knows something respect your elders. Maybe he knows 186 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: something we don't. 187 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: Oh. Shoot. NBC Los Angeles has an image of the 188 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 2: ball bearings and they are sizeable. These are they're they're 189 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 2: of different sizes, but some of them are very large, 190 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 2: and some of the impacts on windows appeared. It looks 191 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: like a bullet hole like small arms, like nine millimeter 192 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: bullet holes. That's intense. Wow. 193 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: It could definitely harm someone if you had a good 194 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 3: aim and you were looking for their throat or their head. 195 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. Geez well, hey, that's one Cereal slingshottest behind bars. 196 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 2: What else is going on? Ben? 197 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 3: Oh gosh, Well, there's a question for the crew, Matt 198 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: alexis everyone playing along at home? When is the last 199 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: time you ate something that you would consider fast. 200 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: Food Friday or no Saturday? My son and I had 201 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: chicken that was fast food. 202 00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: All right, Doc, will will hold, We'll hold for your 203 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 3: contributions here, we can statistically apparently agree with a recent 204 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: poll that found inflation is hitting everyone. Nearly eighty percent 205 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 3: of American residents now consider fast food a luxury due 206 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 3: to these skyrocketing prices. 207 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: I would agree with that, especially if you're talking about 208 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: a five guys or something that's selling a lot of beef. 209 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: I noticed those beef prices are insane. 210 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 3: Remember when you could go to Taco Bell with like 211 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: a twenty dollars bill and they would essentially ask you 212 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: if you wanted to own the place. You could live 213 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: like a king. 214 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: They'd be like, hello, Prince King, welcome to your domain. 215 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: Please have whatever you would like. 216 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't just buy the drive through intercom if 217 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 3: you don't want the crunch wrap. This leads us to 218 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: something that I think is of growing interest to many 219 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 3: residents of the United States, regardless of political ideology or 220 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 3: demographic divide. People are noticing the American dollar does not 221 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 3: appear to go as far as it once did post 222 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 3: pandemic or during the pandemic. And everybody likes to say 223 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 3: post pandemic, but it's still happening. 224 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, the plan deemnic Now I'm just joking. I'm just joking. 225 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: I mean, but there is a conspiracy afoot. I would 226 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 3: argue there is a plan because when supply chains were decimated, 227 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: I'm using that word correctly. When when supply chains went sideways, 228 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 3: cost of goods and services, products, whatever, naturally arose. However, 229 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 3: as those supply chains recovered, some boffins and some sharks 230 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: in the boardrooms realized they didn't have to bring the 231 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 3: prices back down. Not right yet, you know what I mean. 232 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: If we've normalized paying you know, five dollars for something 233 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: that was three dollars that maybe we'll just keep going 234 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 3: until someone says something. 235 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and even when they do, what are they gonna do? 236 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: Not eat a whopper? Come on, come on? Did you 237 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 2: hear Morgan Spurlock, the guy who made Supersize Me just 238 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: passed away from cancer. I think today as we're recording this, 239 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: or yesterday. 240 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: He passed away. I thought he passed away earlier. 241 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: Oh okay, maybe I just read about it today. 242 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Supersized Me guy unfortunately has passed away, and 243 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 3: later later investigations would conclude that it was it was cancer, 244 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: possibly due to some lifestyle choices he had made that 245 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 3: were not the focus of Supersize Me. 246 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I just heard that he passed 247 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 2: away from cancer, though. 248 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 3: And any number of things can cause cancer. You know 249 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 3: what can't cause cancer? Sling shots? 250 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: You say that, I say that, maybe I haven't. 251 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: Maybe I'm not read onto the full capacity slingshot technology. 252 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: What if you're singing lead or mercury ball bearings. I'm 253 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: saying maybe they only cause cancer, but not to you 254 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: the user. 255 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. You should at least wear gloves. 256 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:16,359 Speaker 3: So we're talking about this price, height and this ongoing inflation, 257 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 3: which does seem to be manufactured and not necessarily an 258 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 3: end result of the hard math of transit. What we 259 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: saw is a recent survey conducted by an outfit called 260 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: lending Tree, and they found that seventy eight percent of 261 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 3: consumers have clocked how expensive fast food meals have become. 262 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 3: The day of the dollar menu appears long gone, and 263 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: now fast food is a luxury purchase. This is especially 264 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: true amidst American residents who make less than thirty grand 265 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: a year, people with young children, and folks that we 266 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: would call generation Z. Finding show about three out of 267 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 3: four Americans typically eat fast food around once a week, 268 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: but sixty two percent of people that were asked about 269 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 3: it said obviously not I'm just gonna cook at home now, 270 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 3: or go to the mom and pop place. You know 271 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 3: what I mean, Go to your local go to your 272 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 3: local restaurant, and you can feed a family of four 273 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 3: for far less, apparently than one could at your McDonald's 274 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: or your Burger King. I don't know, man, I don't 275 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 3: know how long people are going to keep buying whoppers forever. 276 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: Come on, man, don't believe the hype? Well, what is this? 277 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 2: Lending Tree out there talking to people and getting opinions. 278 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: Our Burger king will live forever. I hope I see 279 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 2: again when this gets analyzed by AI and then translated 280 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: into German. Nobody's gonna understand that I'm being sarcastic, but 281 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 2: that's what it's supposed to be. 282 00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: They will now because we've explicitly said so. We we've 283 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 3: got to pause for word from our sponsors before the 284 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 3: nine to one one drones of Colorado come to find us, 285 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 3: even though we're not in Colorado. A lot of stuff 286 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 3: can go wrong with with large language models and AI 287 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 3: as they call it. Just ask Google and tell us 288 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 3: what it tells you when you search. We're gonna pause 289 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 3: for a word from our sponsors, and maybe we travel 290 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 3: to South Dakota. What do you think? 291 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: I guess. So, yeah, it's gonna be somber when we 292 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 2: get back, but not too bad. Actually yeah, pretty bad. 293 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 2: So just hold on to your horses. 294 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 3: No. Nine one one, This crunch trap is five dollars. 295 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 2: All right, We'll be right back, and we've returned and 296 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: we are going to Turner County, a very small town there. 297 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: The former mayor of that town is currently charged with 298 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: three counts of first degree murder, which you know is 299 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 2: a headline that catches our eyes for sure. There's a 300 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 2: lot going on with this story that we do not 301 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: have the details of, but we can give you at 302 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: least a little bit. Here's some reporting coming out of 303 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: the Argus Leader A R G U. S L E 304 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 2: A D E. 305 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 3: ER. 306 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 2: It's written by Trevor Mitchell and here's the title. Former 307 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: Centerville mayor charged with triple murder in Turner County. This 308 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 2: is this just happened. So on the night of Monday, 309 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: the twenty seventh of May, this person was apparently involved 310 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: in some kind of shooting that killed three people. He 311 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: was booked into the local jail there on Tuesday morning 312 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: in connection with these shootings. And it's very strange. Let's 313 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: go down here. There's a person named Zach Francis who 314 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 2: says that his brother had been shot and killed by 315 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 2: a man with a shotgun at that the shooter had 316 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: returned to his home. Documents say that after some time, 317 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 2: Franke has told the dispatcher that he himself had been 318 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: shot and he eventually stopped speaking with that nine to 319 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 2: one one operator. And that's when this person, this former mayor, 320 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: his name is j. Austrom OSTRM happens to be sixty 321 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: four years old. He was seen leaving the home and 322 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 2: was identified at the scene of the shooting. Apparently, this 323 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 2: guy appeared to be intoxicated, at least according to some 324 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 2: of the local reporting there, or some of the witnesses 325 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 2: who were there, and somebody who's getting leaked information, it appears, 326 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: but he ignored the commands to stop, to put down 327 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: whatever he had in his hands to lay on the ground. 328 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: He was apparently bleeding from his left hand, and you 329 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 2: could smell the alcohol on him. According to officers who 330 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: first responded there, he had a handgun and an ar 331 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 2: style rifle in his possession. He also had shotgun shell 332 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 2: casings and a spent rifle casing just on his person 333 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: when he was stopped by these officers. When those officers 334 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 2: then went into the home where this guy had just left, 335 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: they found three dead men, Zach Frankes, the person who 336 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 2: had called nine to one one to report this happening, 337 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: Paul Francis, who is twenty six, and Timothy Richmond, who 338 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: was thirty five. 339 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 3: And of course, it's often easy for people to read 340 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 3: a story and dismiss it when they hear alcohol mentioned, right, like, 341 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 3: this guy got drunk and shot three people. However, we 342 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 3: have a context as to what appears to have informed 343 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 3: the former mayor's actions and heads up, folks, it is 344 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 3: an unpleasant thing. 345 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So these are neighbors, these three younger guys 346 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 2: and then this older guy who's accused of killing them. 347 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 2: According to the story, Jay Oustrom was told by his 348 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: spouse that she was hanging out having some alcohol with 349 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 2: one of the one of the three guys in that 350 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: house that is now dead. And according to the story, 351 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: this person, Paul Francis, forcibly kissed her and exposed his 352 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 2: genitalia to her, and she then told her husband about it, 353 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 2: Jay Oustrom, and Jay went raging out of the house. 354 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: He didn't say anything about where he was going, what 355 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 2: he was going to do. He did not leave armed, 356 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 2: according to his wife, but she knew that he or 357 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 2: she was aware at least that he had many weapons 358 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 2: inside the home and possibly inside his vehicle. So it 359 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: is possible that he went directly to his vehicle, got 360 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: his weapons, and then charged over to that house and 361 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: murdered three people. 362 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 3: And apparently there are live reports of the shooting or 363 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 3: reports on file You can read this in affidavits reported 364 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 3: by Sioux Falls Live, wherein people called it a guy 365 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 3: called in and said, yes, I have been shot. That 366 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 3: is Francus, and Francus most likely died on the phone 367 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 3: or at least lost the ability to speak. We know 368 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 3: that there is, as you said, blood on his left hand. 369 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 3: I appreciate the note about being charged with but not convicted, 370 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 3: of killing these three pretty young people. We also apparently 371 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: have a question about the nature of former Mayor Richmond's 372 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 3: relationship to the Franks brothers. Do they just live in 373 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: the same area or to what degree did they interact? 374 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. Do you have more info? 375 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 3: So I'm looking at a couple of different stories. Daily 376 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 3: Beast has an article by Josh Fiallo. As we mentioned, 377 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 3: Sioux Falls Live has some information on this. It's not 378 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 3: quite clear, but we can say one thing for sure. Centerville, 379 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 3: South Dakota is not the biggest town in the United States. 380 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 2: No, it's pretty tiny. 381 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: Less than a thousand people. 382 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 2: Oh wow, less than a thousand people, Smaller even than 383 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: I knew. So it should be noted that this person 384 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: in Jay Austrom, who is accused of doing this stuff, 385 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 2: is a He's a former sheriff's office investigator. He was 386 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 2: a deputy. I guess according to Argus Leader archives, I 387 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 2: don't know. He's done a lot of stuff for that 388 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 2: small town. He assisted in a trial in twenty ten 389 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 2: of this guy named Ethan Johns who was convicted of 390 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: killing a sheriff's deputy there. He also apparently was involved 391 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: in some kind of sexual harassment lawsuit where it was 392 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: a lawsuit levied against him, and that's while he was mayor. 393 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 2: I guess the stuff that happened while he was mayor. 394 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 2: I don't know. This one just stuck out to me 395 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: because it is somebody really high up that appears to 396 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 2: have gotten super upset about something and then went off 397 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 2: the handle and chose murder. I don't know it does 398 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: I guess it worries me. As you said, Ben, somebody 399 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: might dismiss this completely. Oh, somebody was drinking and they 400 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 2: weren't thinking or whatever. But somebody that has that I 401 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 2: don't know, that thing in them that's willing to go 402 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 2: and kill somebody over something horrible, right like if that 403 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: account is true from his wife, is horrible, but just 404 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: willing to kill somebody that's. 405 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 3: Also the sexual harassment case. For further context, that was 406 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 3: a two year legal battle, and the person filing the 407 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: sexual harassment lawsuit was the former chief of police. 408 00:25:59,480 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 2: Wow. 409 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: So there appears to be again quite a bit to 410 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 3: this story, and we can only imagine that there will 411 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 3: be more forthcoming as court cases proceed. Whatever the circumstances, 412 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 3: they cannot replace the lives of the three young men 413 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 3: who were murdered, because this is what we will call 414 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 3: extra judicial killing. We also have to wonder with this 415 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 3: guy's experience, did he feel correct in taking what he 416 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 3: saw his vigilanti action, you know what I mean? Because 417 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 3: of his time and law enforcement. 418 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: Who's to say what's going through his mind? I would 419 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 2: quick correction here if I said it incorrectly or confusingly. 420 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: The incident that allegedly occurred between this person who's accused 421 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: and the neighbor happened on the twenty third of May, 422 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: and then this shooting occurred on Monday, the twenty seventh 423 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 2: of May, so there was some time there, which maybe 424 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: is why it's considered first degree or why he's charged 425 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 2: with first degree murder, because it does seem like if 426 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: that's the inciting incident, he had several days to either 427 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 2: plan or you know, think about his actions before taking them. Well, Ben, 428 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: I don't have much more on this one. It's not 429 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: even really one to keep an eye on. I think 430 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: it's just an anomaly and a strange thing. Some of 431 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 2: these true crime stories are just kind of like that, 432 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 2: just weird. If you don't mind, I'd just like to 433 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 2: point this out because it's something we've talked about before 434 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 2: on the pass as a completely separate story. This is 435 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: regarding MH three seventy. That's that Malaysian Airlines flight that 436 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 2: went missing and has been sought since twenty fourteen. Still 437 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: no wreckage recovered, no sign of the two hundred and 438 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 2: thirty nine people who went down with it. There's some 439 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 2: new attempts to find the wreckage wherever it went, and 440 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 2: it has to do with explosions, which is kind of cool. 441 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 2: And some of the underground micro phones that we've discussed 442 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 2: in the past that are just strown about in the 443 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 2: ocean that can listen to all sorts of things. One 444 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 2: of the things they're good at hearing are large explosions, 445 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 2: right listening for nuclear weapons that have been tested underneath 446 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 2: the sea, which is something the US used to like 447 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: to do quite a lot near a toolls especially. They're 448 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 2: going to use this technology to attempt to basically recreate 449 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 2: I think, at least if I'm reading this correctly, they 450 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: want to recreate the sound of this plane hitting the 451 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: water and or get as close as they can of 452 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: like hearing basically with those microphones what it would sound like, 453 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: and then also taking into account everything that's been recorded 454 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: right around the time that it crashed, and try to 455 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: use the sound to pinpoint where it actually entered the water, 456 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 2: because that's still an unknown right now. And they're recommending 457 00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: that authorities conduct what they're calling controlled underwater explosions, which 458 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 2: is really I don't it's an interesting thing. 459 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 3: It's important thing. It would bring a lot of closure 460 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 3: to hundreds of families. And we have an episode coming 461 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 3: out later this year which is an update on the 462 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 3: planes that have disappeared. We've been pushing this one for 463 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:25,719 Speaker 3: a while because, like many people, we are hoping that 464 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 3: there will be good news. You know, when we do 465 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 3: this episode, we it would make our evening for there 466 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 3: to be a plane mystery solved such that we can 467 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 3: remove it from our episode. But the ocean is big, 468 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, there's it's no surprise that 469 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 3: things get lost. Conspiracies proliferate for a reason. We do 470 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 3: know that assassination as plane crash has been deployed in 471 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 3: the past. That is a true story. Look up what 472 00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 3: was his name, Matt Dagg. 473 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 2: That's the one. 474 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 3: Definitely assassinated via plane crash. And in this case, you know, 475 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 3: it might surprise some of us tonight to learn that 476 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 3: even after a story fades from the headlines, the research 477 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: and the investigation continues. So I'm really glad you brought 478 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 3: this story up tonight. We're hoping this hydrophone technology, right, 479 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 3: is that what it's called. We're hoping this hydrophone technology 480 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 3: can at least help people get a fix on where 481 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 3: the breadcrumbs of the crash begin. 482 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again it is just theoretical. Now, it's just 483 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: like a recommendation. The thought is just using signal strength 484 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 2: at the various locations. If a big splash occurred in 485 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 2: one area, you could test, Hey, there's certain level, like 486 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: very precise level of decibels that this one microphone picked 487 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 2: it up, and it's x kilometers away from where the 488 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: explosion occurred, right, and then you've got another one that 489 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 2: same explosion measured at why decibels when the plane hit 490 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 2: the water so or when the explosion occurred, I guess 491 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: in this test, So you really could pinpoint if you 492 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 2: had three or more. Potentially if you got all of 493 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 2: those numbers correct with the data of whatever the splash 494 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 2: and explosion sound when this plane went down, you could 495 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 2: you could try and find it. Yeah, exactly in the 496 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 2: same way you use the you know, a GPS signal 497 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: that's going to various towers or to various satellites. 498 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. Maybe a layman way to think of this would be, 499 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 3: all right, the old concept of a needle in a haystack, right, 500 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 3: we think of that in English because it's very difficult 501 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 3: to find a needle in a ginormous haystack. 502 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 2: Never tried, actually, but I would. 503 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, even something that can help you find just the 504 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 3: quadrant of the haystack it's in this twenty percent, or 505 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 3: it's even in this fifty percent of the haystack, that 506 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 3: will fundamentally change the nature of the investigation. And while 507 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 3: it can seem hopeless, it is important to try. 508 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 2: I think so too. So let's keep an eye on that. 509 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 2: It probably won't happen because it's going to be expensive 510 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: I'm sure, and everybody's just like, well that was a 511 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: while ago, guys, which is an unfortunate thing for the 512 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: families of the two hundred and thirty nine people that 513 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 2: are still missing and unaccounted for. Well, hey, that's a 514 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 2: bit of a downer, but we will be right back 515 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 2: with more strange news. After a word from our sponsor. 516 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 3: We take you to Seoul, South Korea. What's that up 517 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 3: there in the clouds? Is it a bird? Is it 518 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 3: a blade? No, it's a balloon. What's in the balloon? 519 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 3: This takes us to one of our final stories for 520 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 3: this evening's program. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea DPRK, 521 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 3: street named North Korea, has been accused of sending balloons 522 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 3: carrying poop across the border across the DMZ into South Korea. First, what, second? Why? 523 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 3: These are some of the questions. 524 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 2: I think those are the primary questions. Well, the next 525 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: one for me is what were they contained within? Was 526 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 2: it just like a plastic bag or was it. 527 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 3: It also wasn't just poop, there were cigarette butts, miscellaneous trash. 528 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 3: Let's go to the Guardian and the New York Times, 529 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 3: So shout out to Justin McCurry writing for The Guardian 530 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 3: based out of Tokyo, who says South Korea has warned 531 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 3: residents living near the border to be on alert, and 532 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 3: the South Korean government, the Republic of Korea r OK, 533 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 3: has accused North Korea of sindy balloons containing feces and 534 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 3: trash into South Korea, and if you look back you 535 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 3: can find this with some cursory digging. The South Korean 536 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 3: military just this past Wednesday released photographs of what appeared 537 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 3: to be to answer your question, Matt, plastic bags tethered 538 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 3: to balloons, just hanging down like a gondola from a 539 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 3: hot air balloon, and there was trash around these. Somebody 540 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 3: wrote the word excrement on one of the bags that 541 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 3: had come down to earth, just to drive the point home. 542 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 3: According to the Yadhap Dews agency in South Korea military sources, 543 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 3: more than one hundred and fifty of these balloons made 544 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 3: their way south. Some were still in the air, some 545 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 3: had traveled very long distances, reaching southeastern provinces of the peninsula. 546 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 3: They had plastic bottles in their batteries, shoes and or 547 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 3: parts of shoes, parts of shoes, not the whole shoe, 548 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 3: and then manure woah. 549 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 2: Hight soil. I can really identify with this. I've been 550 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 2: leaning out cat litter for the past week or so, 551 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: and just the sensation of gathering poop into a bag 552 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: that I did not but probably should have labeled feces, 553 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 2: just doing that over and over again, and then hauling 554 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 2: that bag down to another bag so that it can 555 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: get out of my house and not smell like that anymore. 556 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 3: And they're wondering, wading, who really is in charge of 557 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 3: this tidy government of my home? Yeah, I'm pretty sure 558 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 3: that cat's not take it out your poop. 559 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 2: No, it's not. And it really doesn't like it when 560 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: I pet it, unless it's tired. Then it's like, all right, 561 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 2: we're cool. 562 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 3: It takes time. Yeah, yeah, it's true. Man, Like, okay, 563 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 3: So imagine the panic I think it was. It was 564 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 3: not too long ago. 565 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: Uh. 566 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 3: I was off on a thing recording remotely, and we 567 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 3: were recording the week that the Chinese government sent some 568 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 3: altitude surveillance balloons into US airspace. And if we think 569 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 3: about that in that context, this story seems way less funny. 570 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 3: Right at first, It's like at nineteen eighties Revenge of 571 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,919 Speaker 3: the Nerds comic book kind of prank, like, we'll show them, 572 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 3: We'll send poop balloons. What a what a rip. But now, 573 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 3: if you're the South Korean military and you are pretty 574 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 3: much waiting for a possible attack, full scale kinetic war 575 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 3: from the northern part of the peninsula, then when you 576 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 3: see stuff you cannot identify in the air, your first 577 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 3: assumption has to be it is a weapon. 578 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know what we need? Oh god, I 579 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 2: wish we had this some kind of slingshot sharpshooter that 580 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 2: you to hang out. Yeah. Yeah, So you're you're not 581 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 2: getting the retort of firing a weapon in that very 582 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 2: you know, contentious area, but you just, you know, just 583 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 2: a little funk. 584 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 3: And keep it clean too. Like he's clearly we'll make 585 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 3: him a tourist. He's clearly not working with the South 586 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 3: Korean military. He's just a guy, Yeah who got a 587 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 3: deal on ball bearings. 588 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 2: Just give him a porch, that's all he needs. 589 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 3: Give him a porch at a yard to tell people 590 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 3: to stay off of. And I think I think we've 591 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 3: got our candidate. I think we got our operator. Yeah. 592 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,399 Speaker 3: The military, though, they did freak out because all they 593 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 3: see over the DMZ one of the most hotly contested 594 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 3: parts of the world as we know it. All they 595 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 3: see is small unidentified objects, which you know, sadly they're 596 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 3: not UFOs. I think it would be funnier if aliens 597 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 3: were real and they were just carrying poop around the 598 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 3: world and no one knew why. 599 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 2: They're just sending their their feces to Earth. 600 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not even like saving the poop, they're just 601 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 3: moving it around to different places. 602 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 2: Imagine. Okay, so there's this huge UFO that's sited by 603 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 2: everyone in London. Everybody. Oh, Alexi says, what makes you 604 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:13,720 Speaker 2: think the aliens poop? 605 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's a good note, Doc. 606 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, if I've learned anything in this life, it's that 607 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,479 Speaker 2: everybody poops. You know. That's like probably if. 608 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 3: They don't, they're an android exactly. 609 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 2: That's lifeless and number one for me. Okay, but listen, 610 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 2: there's this huge UFO. It's coming through the atmosphere. Everybody 611 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 2: in London's freaking out. Everybody's got footage of it. It's 612 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 2: going on TikTok, it's going everywhere. It's wide. This thing 613 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 2: flies through and then lands in the Thames or the 614 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 2: Thames or however you say that river and the military's 615 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 2: out there, everybody's surrounding it. They're ready to just whatever 616 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 2: comes out of this thing, we're gonna fight against it. 617 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 2: And the hatch just goes and it's just alien poop. 618 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 3: Which would be amazing. We would keep it, uh, like 619 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 3: the civilization would be super into it. Also, talking with 620 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,919 Speaker 3: Doc in the chat here, the question is if aliens 621 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 3: maybe they excreet something that they think of as poop 622 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 3: and humans think of it as a massively precious resource, 623 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, likeum yeah, unobtainingum the ultimate mcguffin. 624 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 3: What if it's something like cobalt or what if they 625 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,720 Speaker 3: just what if they poop those over somehow, those overpriced 626 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 3: scented Yankee candles that are like unreasonably twenty five dollars 627 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 3: or eighteen dollars at the store. I would steal that poop. 628 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 2: Like in various cents plas. 629 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, different sense, oh maze, And the aliens don't like 630 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 3: them because to them it smells like poop. But to us, 631 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 3: we're like, ah, lavender. 632 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 2: Tight, we set this on fire, dude. 633 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 3: Let me set this on fire. 634 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 2: Well, back to. 635 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 3: The Korean Peninsula, the South Korean government deployed biological chemical 636 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 3: warfare response teams, explosive response teams. Imagine if you have 637 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 3: that level of training and you have to go find 638 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 3: the poop balloon, and because of your training, because the 639 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 3: hot war could pop off, you have to pretend it's 640 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 3: not hilarious and you have to say, Okay, we got 641 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 3: to run through the checks. That's clearly a balloon of manure. 642 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 3: But let's send out the robot and see if the 643 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 3: robot explodes. And then who draws the short straw to 644 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 3: have to actually go up and take the bag of poop. 645 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 3: This is so weird, man Like, what is the point? 646 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 2: I really don't know. Is it a warning? 647 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 3: We have one statement from Kim Kong Il, who is 648 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 3: a defense vice minister in North Korea, who says this 649 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 3: was who said that the DPRK is going to retaliate 650 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 3: toward some propaganda war stuff by South Korea. So South 651 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 3: Korea for a long time has been sending leaflets about 652 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 3: like anti North Korean leaflets, thumb drives that allow people 653 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 3: access to news stories or literature or ideologies that you 654 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 3: couldn't normally access in North Korea, and so per the 655 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 3: official North Korean News agency case NA, Kim Kong Ill 656 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 3: said the following quote. Tit for tat action will also 657 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 3: be taken against frequent scattering of leaflets and other rubbish 658 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 3: near border areas. Mounds of waste paper and filth will 659 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 3: soon be scattered over the border areas and the interior 660 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 3: of the ROK. Again that South Korea and it will 661 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 3: directly experience how much effort is required to remove them. 662 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 3: Kim so there. I think the idea is without escalating 663 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 3: toward that war that no one really wants except for 664 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 3: defense industries. I think the idea is, Hey, we're going 665 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 3: to show you what it's like to have to deal 666 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 3: with this, right, so now we're sending a bunch of balloons, 667 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 3: just like the stuff you sent, and just like the 668 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 3: stuff you sent, our balloons transport trash. Because North Korea 669 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 3: is the best. 670 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 2: I think they solved it. I think that's it unless 671 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 2: it's coming from further north. What if it's coming from 672 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, the city in China just across the 673 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 2: border of North Korea and they're playing, they're playing both. 674 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 2: They're just like, ah, let's send this over there. They'll 675 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 2: both blame each other. It'll be a hilarious. 676 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 3: Oh gosh. And if it's a if it's a big 677 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 3: enough Chinese city, they're they're thinking, we got to get 678 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 3: rid of this poop somehow, you know what I mean. 679 00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 2: Let's just we've got all these balloons. We've got deal 680 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 2: on the balloons. 681 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 3: We keep making poop. You know. Yeah, we put out 682 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 3: a notice, we asked people to stop pooping, but they 683 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 3: keep going. So we've got to do something. 684 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 2: There's a clear answer here. I'm just I'm not seen 685 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 2: it yet. 686 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 3: Point said, Ah, geez, we need top men on this one. Also, also, 687 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 3: it makes me think the idea here is clearly propaganda. 688 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 3: Right is that seem to say? So they're not trying 689 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 3: to upset the grand balance of the armistices? 690 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't know. Wasn't there a 691 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 2: very recent missile failure or a flight test that North 692 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 2: Koreo just conducted where they were going to send it 693 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 2: was either a satellite or another one of those. It 694 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 2: was a test of a rocket and it failed pretty 695 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 2: pretty horribly. 696 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 3: Yes, thank goodness, I'm. 697 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 2: Sure they get panned, if you know. I don't know 698 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 2: if there's a DMZ like newspaper or something ben or 699 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,919 Speaker 2: just something where it's just like they tease each other 700 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 2: from the other sides like ha ha ha, rocket failed, 701 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 2: great job, and there's like oh yeah, oh yeah, Well you. 702 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 3: Know what doesn't fail, our poop balloon Armada, which it 703 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:20,760 Speaker 3: will be deployed. Whoe betide you for mocking our attempts 704 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,760 Speaker 3: at ICBMs. It's true. There's a larger context too, because 705 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 3: we mentioned it slightly in a previous recording. Uncle Ji 706 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 3: and Uncle Vlad did have a very public pinky swear 707 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 3: recently creating a troubling partnership of convenience or escalating and 708 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 3: troubling partnership of convenience between China and Russia. And now 709 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 3: this poop balloon stuff comes on the heels of an 710 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:54,839 Speaker 3: earlier report where Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong un, the 711 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 3: current leader of North Korea, agreed to a pretty troubling 712 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,400 Speaker 3: deal or a deal that has NATO and the West 713 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 3: kind of upset because the problem is, all right, North 714 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 3: Korea has a nuke, Right, they have nuclear capability in 715 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 3: a weaponized fashion. What they don't have is the other 716 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 3: side of the equation, which is getting the nuke to 717 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 3: the place they want to hit. They don't have that yet, right, 718 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 3: they have the engine, but they don't have the car, 719 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 3: and if they make a deal with Russia, Russia could 720 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 3: give them ICBM or reliable ICBM. I mean, North Korea's 721 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 3: previous designs are already old Soviet tech. So the United 722 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 3: States is currently quite concerned about the possibility of someone 723 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 3: giving North Korea this car such that it could drive 724 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 3: to the West coast of the United States. It's a 725 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 3: real concern. But also also man, how much of it 726 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 3: is warmongering on both sides, Like if you want more 727 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 3: funding for the Eastern Theater, you say that a nuclear 728 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 3: response is eminent, you know, or not even a response, 729 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 3: a nuclear action is imminent, and the wallet just opens 730 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 3: up and everybody votes in your favor. 731 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 2: Very true. 732 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe it's also just humans are humans. 733 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 3: Maybe the poop bags are just a fun prank. 734 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,760 Speaker 2: Ben, you said something pretty hilarious. I put it together. 735 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,399 Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody else did those listening You're 736 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,319 Speaker 2: talking about poop on the heels of Putin, which to 737 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 2: me is really funny. Thank you, thanks, because there's something 738 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 2: about your Putin. But then poop, I don't know that 739 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 2: it's on your heels. This seems messy. 740 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 3: Oh, North Korea and Putin are definitely. North Korea is 741 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,760 Speaker 3: definitely Puutin on the ritz. And I don't know how 742 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,439 Speaker 3: much more there is to this story, but we do 743 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 3: know that in the larger context, the government of China 744 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 3: and the government of North Korea have a rare, a 745 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 3: rare disagreement regarding nuclear weapons, because China is asking to 746 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 3: pump their breaks and they're saying all gas, no breaks, 747 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 3: poop in the balloons. You know what I mean? 748 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do know what you mean. 749 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 3: Great, that's why we hang out. That's how that's how Matt, 750 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 3: Doc and I talk when we're off air. We have 751 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,280 Speaker 3: so much stuff. We didn't get to this evening. We didn't. 752 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 3: We didn't really get the chance to talk about Papua 753 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,720 Speaker 3: New Guinea. There's a failed coup on the African continent 754 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 3: that's not getting a lot of Western press. We have 755 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 3: cop city stories we have to cover. The new Windows 756 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 3: AI is going to record everything you do on your 757 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:48,720 Speaker 3: personal computer. 758 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,439 Speaker 2: What's so wrong, sweet man? 759 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 3: Nice? 760 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,280 Speaker 2: Always forget what I've been doing on my computer seven 761 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 2: months ago? 762 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 3: Yeah?
