Speaker 2: Crystal, they're iconic and iconic.

Speaker 3: They're exclusive styles. In eighteen carrot yellow gold with diamonds

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: or with oxidized sterling silver.

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: You're moving away from my answer.

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 3: It's Tiffany and Company what you can get, and it's

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: based on them. This man, Daniel Rsham, he does Pokemon sculptures,

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 3: Pokemon sculptures, the Pokemon. Yeah, he had a whole art

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: exhibit called a Ripple and thyme. I didn't even bother

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: to look it up because quite frankly, I didn't need

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: that in my life as a book, right, and so

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: that is a good book AnyWho. So, yeah, so he

34
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,480

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,760

00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: Held against your will?

Speaker 2: is just a truth, a truism, whatever you want to

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 2: call it. A fool on a mission, right, they will

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: likely go far further than anyone would have predicted.

56
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 3: A fool on a mission. A stolen commis right?

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: You you know the fools? They are my people?

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, So that's why I'm going to call this one.

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: Let's to the sea.

60
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: This is Ridiculous Crime, A podcast about absurd and outrageous capers,

61
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: heists and cons. It's always ninety nine percent murder free

62
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: and ridiculous game freak. Okay, Elizabeth, this first story I

63
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: have for you today. It's like a short story that

64
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: coaf Go would write, just throwing a jet ski. Okay,

65
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: So the year's twenty sixteen dateline China. Now, I think

66
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: this is our first story that ever takes place in China?

67
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: Am I right about that?

68
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: I don't know?

69
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I think so. But anyway, it's about a Korean

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: man try to stay with me. His Chinese name was

71
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: Kwan Ping, but he never liked that. He preferred his

72
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: Korean name, and that's the one he would like to

73
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: use on. So his Korean name was Kwan Peong, and

74
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna call him Kwan Pieong. Sure, so, my man Piong.

75
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: He lived in northeastern China. Now that's where he liked

76
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: to hop online and openly mock the Chinese Communist Party

77
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: that runs China.

78
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: That's a little dangerous.

79
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is what we in the Living to See

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: Tomorrow business call a bad idea. Now, he primarily posted

81
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: on English language outlets, right, there were ones that were

82
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: forbidden in China, so that kind of minimized his damage

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: he was doing to the party. He would post on

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: Twitter and on Facebook. Now both of those are blocked

85
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: on the Chinese Internet. You cannot just hop onto Twitter

86
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: from China. Yeah, you have to be able to navigate

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: the dark web and access those types of sites. He

88
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: could do that, right, So he's going on Twitter and

89
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: that's where Peong he described himself as, quote a perpetual

90
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: student citizen dedicated to overturning communism.

91
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 3: Was he a citizen of the world?

92
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: Oh, you better believe his sister. Now, how did he

93
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: plan to overturn communism?

94
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: You ask, h how did he plan to overturn communism?

95
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: I ask great question, Elizabeth, thank you? Was he organ

96
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: young people? Was he fostering underground networks? Was he using

97
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: his hacking skills to wage war against the Chinese sensors

98
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: and online firewells. Did he connect with dissidence and help

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: them to avoid detection online? No? No, no, and no.

100
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: Did he post gift reactions on Twitter?

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: What my man did was hop online and post a

102
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 2: selfie of him wearing a shirt of Jijienping. The shirt

103
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: called gi wait for it, Hitler like Zitler, right yeah, oh,

104
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: I may be not saying that exactly correct, but Hitler

105
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: with G in front.

106
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: Of it, you get it, Shitler.

107
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: So my man, after thoroughly mocking the General Secretary of

108
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: the Communist Party aka the Supreme Leader of China with

109
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: his clever T shirt Peong, he captioned his political selfie,

110
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: Let's work together and topple this invisible wall. Somethings about

111
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: it get toppled, brother, Yeah right now. He posted his

112
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: Zitler selfie and his provocative caption not on Wibo, which

113
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: is the Chinese language version of Twitter. Yeah, as you

114
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: know Webo, it's heavily censored and it's not easily. We

115
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: can't just hop onto Webo. Right, sure, but that's where

116
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: you would think woman would want to be talking to

117
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: people trying to take down Chinese communism. But not him.

118
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: He's like, ah, I'm gonna go pop on Twitter. So why, Elizabeth,

119
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: why did my dude Peong, who is basically the literal

120
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: definition of a keyboard warrior against communism at this point,

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: decide to take to Twitter. I don't know, I know

122
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: to get this straight, you know, I do know, And

123
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't mean to mock this guy as like.

124
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: A political existential question.

125
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's just a curiosity. If you will, I'll

126
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: tell you the answer though, right, because well, first let

127
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: me say this, I don't mean to mock this guy. Right,

128
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: he's far braver than I am. Or no, I'll put

129
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: it this way. He's willing to do stuff I would

130
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: never do. Okay, okay, better. So the reason Peong was

131
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: so western, mind is that he studied in America. He

132
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: came here for college. He attended Iowa State University. That's

133
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: where he got a degree in aerospace engineering. Good head

134
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: on this kid. He returns home to China, starts working

135
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: in the family business, but he stayed on Twitter. Right,

136
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, that's where I talk to my friends.

137
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 3: People can't get off of Twitter.

138
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: Right to this point. The year was twenty fourteen, right,

139
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: So he's back in China, he's graduated in my Manpeong.

140
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: He gets his life set up in a city called Yanbien.

141
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: Now it's the central hub for a very sizable Korean population.

142
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: I didn't know any of this, but when I was researching,

143
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: I learned that this is this the Yanbien is basically

144
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: a major point of focus for Korean investors right now.

145
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: They're all trying to like, you know, scrape some of

146
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: that money out of the massive Chinese economy, and this

147
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: is where they can do it. And also I didn't

148
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: know this, Elizabeth, but yon Bien is the main city

149
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. Oh okay, So this

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: whole area it was historically part of Manchuria, which was like,

151
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: you know, the region more than a country. Right now,

152
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: in the nineteenth century, there's this sudden massive influx of

153
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: Korean immigrants, and over time the population grew to about

154
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: two million people. So they have two million people all

155
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: either Korean immigrants or Korean people of Korean descent. Right,

156
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: so then you have boom boom boom. Communist revolution comes around, right,

157
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: So that complicates the picture because these people came are

158
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: for opportunity, not for communism. So the thriving business community

159
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: population drops in half. Right, so about one point two

160
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: million people are left. They're stuck in communist China. They

161
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: get rewarded for their loyalty with their own autonomous zone.

162
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: Right nineteen fifty five, the region gets an upgrade to

163
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: Ethnic Autonomous Prefecture. The folks living there today they exist

164
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: under modern Chinese communist rule Elizabeth right, which means, you know,

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: they still have their autonomous zone. Now, for some populations,

166
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: like the Wigers, their autonomous zone comes with re education camps.

167
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: In yon Bien, the population, from what I've learned in

168
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: my research, they still largely are Korean, which they speak Korean,

169
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: but they've also assimilated into Chinese culture. They speak Chinese

170
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: and thus they don't have a re education camp. So

171
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: forth right, they're largely left alone. And of course that

172
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: is unless they provoke the Sleeping Tiger down in Beijing,

173
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 2: which my man Peong's like, hey, let me get the

174
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: good So back to my man Peong is Zitler shirt.

175
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: So that wasn't his only provocative post. And another prior post,

176
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 2: he'd spoken about drinking tea. Now, I don't know if

177
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: you know this, but that's not a reference to like

178
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: spilling the tea, right, It's not like doing gossip intuff, right, Yeah,

179
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 2: and it's not a Chinese twist on drinking the kool aid.

180
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: And you know it's not that either. So the expression

181
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: drank the tea, it refers to a Chinese language euphemism

182
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: about speaking with the Chinese authorities. So yeah, you're being

183
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 2: questioned basically, right, so apparently they are for you tea.

184
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: I don't know anyway, my man Pong he posted, if

185
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: I have to drink tea again, I won't be shy

186
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: and nervous. I'll very clearly declare my views as bright

187
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: as a banner opposing the Communist Party. That's my attitude.

188
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 2: I won't seek out trouble, but if it comes to me,

189
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: I'll live with it. Elizabeth, it was like trouble was

190
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: doom scrolling Twitter that day because all trouble came and

191
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: found him. Yeah, so so, my dude, he had planned

192
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: to wear his Zitler shirt out on October first, which,

193
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: if you didn't know it, that's China's national Day. So

194
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: he told his friends that online and he's you know,

195
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: and this guy said he wasn't seeking trouble.

196
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 3: But you know, oh really okay.

197
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: Anyway, this choice was a problem for him of wearing

198
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: the Zitler shirt to China's national Day because old trouble

199
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: came and knocking on his front door September thirtieth, just

200
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: a day before China's National Day. My Man Peong sent

201
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: a message to his friends in Korea. There's trouble now.

202
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: The Chinese authorities said, come to his door. They performed

203
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: a magic trick. They made my Man Peong disappear. Oh no,

204
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: it's just like that, like a rabbit gone. So no

205
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: one hears from him, all right, not his friends, not

206
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: his family in China, nobody. Finally word comes out. His

207
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: family learns he's being held by the police. They've arrested him.

208
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: This is like early twenty sixteen October. He's resurfaced. Now

209
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: he now has a newly hired lawyer. His family tried

210
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: to hire lawyers, but China's like, no, will lock him

211
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: in prison, that shoul get a different lawyer. So they're like, okay,

212
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: here's a different lawyer. It's like a whole thing, right.

213
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: So his new defense lawyer he gave a rationale for

214
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: his client's actions too, and he told the press he's

215
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: from a younger generation that's absorbed ideas about democracy and freedom.

216
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: They have a clear spirit of opposition. So he's basically like,

217
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: he's a younger man. Yeah, what are you gonna do?

218
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 5: Right?

219
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: So the charges against Peong they were serious. He was

220
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: facing one and a half year long prison sentence for

221
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: quote inciting subversion, basically don't wear that shirt anyway. Trial

222
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: lasts how long, one day, speedy trial with justice. He's

223
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: of course found guilty, off to prison. He goes, now

224
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: that real big bad trouble had found him, what would

225
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: my man Peong do? Elizabeth run away? No, he did

226
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: his stretch in prison. Yeah, he's like a big dog,

227
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 2: went in there, went into Chinese prison and said give

228
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: me my eighteen months? Did him standing up? Right? Afterwards,

229
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: he gets released from prison, and what is he now

230
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: ready to do? He's still prepared to do a symbolic

231
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: warfare against the Communist rulers, so the Communist Party. They

232
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: continued to closely monitor his activities and fast forward to

233
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: this last year, twenty twenty three, my Man Peong, he

234
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: contacted a human rights activists in Korea right, and he

235
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: asked for help in gaining asylum. He's like, what can

236
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: you guys do for me? Like, I'm a Korean descent,

237
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: I want to come back to Korea And they're like,

238
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm planning to making a break for it,

239
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: just just fleeing China. Would you guys get me asylum?

240
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: The two people hadn't spoken in years. He just contacts

241
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: him out of the blue with his crazy request asking

242
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: for asylum. My Man Pyong. He doesn't wait for confirmation

243
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: of this asylum. He decides, you know what, I'm going

244
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: for it? Yeah, exactly. One dark and moonless night, he

245
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: went down to the water's edge. He pushed a jet

246
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: ski into the sea and he climbed aboard the watercraft.

247
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: And then the thirty five year old political prankster he

248
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: did another little magic trick. He turned himself into a

249
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: political refugee. For his next magical trick, he made himself

250
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 2: disappear from China. So he took off from Shandong Peninsula,

251
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: and all he had with him was a life jacket,

252
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 2: a helmet, and for navigation he had a compass and

253
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: a telescope.

254
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: That's pretty good, but not back the helmet in the

255
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: lifetime I.

256
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: Thought you would. So he also had fuel because it's

257
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: going to be a long trick. He had five containers

258
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 2: of fuel he attached to the jets ski. It was

259
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: going to be, I said, long ass journey. So he's

260
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: looking at a two hundred mile passage across open ocean

261
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: waters at night on a jet ski, all told if

262
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: he would, if he made it, it would take fourteen hours. Wow,

263
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to repeat this for a fact. My man

264
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: Peong's plan was to take a jet ski loaded down

265
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: with five containers of gasoline, then ride that jet ski

266
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: across open ocean to Korea, crossing two hundred miles in

267
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: the dark alone for fourteen hours. Can you even imagine

268
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 2: doing one hour of that truck? Okay, he takes about

269
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: five and a half hours to drive from Oakland to

270
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Right, you could drive from Oakland to LA

271
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: turn around, drive back to Oakland, and you'd still have

272
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: three more hours at night in the open ocean on

273
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: that jet ski to go.

274
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 3: I hate driving to LA. And it's not because I

275
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: don't like LA. I just don't like to sit in

276
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: the car that long.

277
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: Exactly. Imagine you're like, bang, bang right, you can't fall off,

278
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: you can't fall asleep.

279
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, seagulls are hitting me in the face. Seagulls at night, Yes,

280
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 3: they come out at night.

281
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: So what do you think he made it through the seagulls?

282
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 2: You imagine you do? I guess he did. Elizabeth believe

283
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: that if.

284
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: You said that he didn't survive, Like, wow, that's bleak.

285
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: Thanks for that story.

286
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: My next one, he made it to Incheon in Korea

287
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: and the Korean Coast Guard they founded by dude stranded,

288
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: laid up in a mud flat jet ski, had a cast. Exhausted,

289
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: he's like, where's you know what?

290
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: His lips were chapped, I guarantee, and that is so uncomfortable.

291
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: Chap lips worse, it's almost prison cheeks. Oh they crack.

292
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: I forget about it. So what do you think happened

293
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: to him? Now that he's made it after this insane

294
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: jet ski trip to Korea?

295
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: He's famous.

296
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: No, he's properly arrested. Man because it's against the law, Elizabeth.

297
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: You can't just show up in Korea like that. They

298
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: have rules, they have convention in Korea, perversion go through customs.

299
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: So oh yeah, I could see that, my man.

300
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: He was charged with violation to the Immigration Control Act

301
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 2: and he remained in custody for months. So he and

302
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: away escaped on a jet ski and boom, still in prison. Wow,

303
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: I shouldn't left. But it's just that already gets me.

304
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: But at least he was in a Chinese re education camp.

305
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: Better prison, yeah, exact, totally much better prison. So finally,

306
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: in this past August, he was released from custody. The

307
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: Chinese dissident of Korean descent who had Evil knieveled his

308
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: way from China to Korea. He was freed on a

309
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: suspended sentence of one year in jail and two years

310
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: on probation. So now he can wear all the Zitler

311
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: shirts he wants. He's free.

312
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: Okay, did he how did he? Did he have this

313
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 3: printed up like as a one off shirt or did.

314
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: Her This is your question, how did he get you know.

315
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: How like when you don't think he can get a

316
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: shirt in China, you're kidding me.

317
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: Novel one off.

318
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: So did he have like a ton printed? Did he

319
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: buy it at a store?

320
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: You think he, like sol screened it at his house

321
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: by himself he was the screen.

322
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: Or he just got a marker on a white.

323
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: T shirt totally the ultimate, like just sharpie drawing it

324
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: and the mustache.

325
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: Just imagining that.

326
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: I like your imagination.

327
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.

328
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: Well, let's tell your imagination cool off because I got

329
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: another crazy one for you. Let's take a break and

330
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: we'll be back after these moments. Elizabeth Zarin, all right,

331
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: the story I really want to tell you today is

332
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: about a man who called himself Captain Bubble.

333
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: You didn't want to tell me the other one.

334
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: I did, but I think that was just to kind

335
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: of what your appetite gets your mind going. It seemed

336
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: to work. It's yeah, but I really wanted to tell

337
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: you about Captain Bubble.

338
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: Captain Bubble, the monkey, the.

339
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: Captain Bubble affair. That's this next story.

340
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: Captain.

341
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: So Captain Bubble that was not his birth name. Mary

342
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: did not name him captain now, that was his street name.

343
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Dude's government name was Raisa A Ka Rayucci or Bluoky.

344
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: Blue Chy, Bluoky yes, blue che ballue Chee.

345
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: So the Captain Bubble, as I said, he has two

346
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: street names. He is Ray and Captain Bubble. Now he

347
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: may have more. I don't know. I don't know the man.

348
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: But you know what, let's get to the story. The

349
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: reason we're talking about him is that earlier this year

350
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: he tried to run from Florida to England.

351
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 3: I'm going to give him another street name. Right now,

352
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: what's that pretty boom boom, pretty boom boom where.

353
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you may be thinking, is Aaron. I just did

354
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: the math on that. That's impossible. You can't run from

355
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: Florida to England. Okay, Like, there's still something called the

356
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: Atlantic Ocean. Run really really fast, a good point, like

357
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: a Jesus lizard just right on top of the water.

358
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: Exactly.

359
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're with the physics. You're look at his little

360
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: legs run exactly. Well, that little something called the Atlantic

361
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: Ocean that's in between us in England. It's not a

362
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: problem if you properly prepare for it.

363
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

364
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Some people, Oh, I'm gonna take a plane, I'm

365
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: gonna take a balloon, Like there's ways to get over it.

366
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: But he's like, I'm going to run over it, and

367
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: you're like, you can't run on water man. Well, my

368
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: man raised had an answer. He was going to run

369
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: inside a giant inflatable hamster wheel. Wait see, no, don't

370
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: you feel silly, Elizabeth. It feels so silly when he

371
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: had a plan.

372
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: All he doesn't have any like paddles on it.

373
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 2: It's just no, no, I'll show you a pictures in

374
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: a second. Imagine like if Wiley E. Coyote had an

375
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: ACME brand sort of plan to get to anyone.

376
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: I put myself in a there a big rocket on

377
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 4: the back, there's red inflatable.

378
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: It's like a ring. It looks like it doesn't matter.

379
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: I was gonna use like a physics like a bund

380
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: of the it doesn't matter. But anyway, so just imagine

381
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: like two rings and they just I'll show you the picture.

382
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: So this, Elizabeth, is what my man was rocking.

383
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: Oh it does have little paddles on it. That's cute.

384
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: And it's like full of beach balls. And he has

385
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 3: one that's not the right color.

386
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, totally, because you know, I think the original

387
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: one popped or something. So he just got whatever would

388
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 2: stick in that space. And so there's a bunch of

389
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: red like floaties, but looks like a hamster wheel, right,

390
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: but yeah, totally, and there's like some chicken wire and

391
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: or it.

392
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 3: Looks like one of those industrial like it looks like

393
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 3: livestock feeders tipped over totally.

394
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: Or if you took like a dryer, like an industrial dryer,

395
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: and you just took the tumbler out and you just

396
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: put a man inside that and then put some floaties

397
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: on the side, or if you took like.

398
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: An industrial like floater thing.

399
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: There you go. You're using the tech talk. Okay, well,

400
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: I didn't want to use all the lemple throw jargon

401
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: at me. Okay, well, let's go to his history of attempts, Elizabeth,

402
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: because that was one of his later models. But the

403
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: year was twenty fourteen when he took his first attempt.

404
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: He tried to roll his homemade watercraft into the sea

405
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: and run to New York.

406
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: I'm so glad it has paddles on it, because I

407
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 3: envisioned him in just one of those like round clear.

408
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 2: Balls and like people run down hills there.

409
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like running in place on the ocean.

410
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's drifting across the ocean. No, my man's running, Elizabeth.

411
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 2: You've got paddles. Come on, he thought about this. So

412
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: the Coast Card they catch up to him in his

413
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: first attempt, and they are like, what are you doing

414
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: out here? Right? So, according to the Coast Guard, my

415
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: man's homemade watercraft was quote found to be manifestly unsafe vessel. Right,

416
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: all that. Once again they're with the jargon, right, But

417
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: what does that mean? I'm glad you asked Elizabeth. According

418
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: to the Title forty six of the United States Code

419
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 2: and Title thirty three of the Code of Federal Regulations.

420
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: Those are two of my favorites.

421
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: He was required to quote clear any future voyages. He

422
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 2: did not clear future voyages. Not to mention. He was

423
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 2: also supposed to quote employ a support vessel. He did

424
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: not employ a support vessel. Well, that didn't stop a man.

425
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: Next, not all of us have a support vessel on hand?

426
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, not all of us has friends hire a support vessel.

427
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: What I look like Daddy Warbucks over here, right, So

428
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: just leave me in my hamster wheel to be in

429
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: peace and run free. Eight is America? Anyway, Next year,

430
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 2: my man says he's going to go back at it,

431
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: and he did that. And then the year after that,

432
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: my man Raisa was back at it again and again

433
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: and again. His second attempt also failed. Yeah, that one

434
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: is because he was once again forced to comply with

435
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: the orders of the Coastguard, cutter and a band in

436
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: his voyage. They just do not like a dream. Now,

437
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: you may be thinking, Zaren, your man Raises sounds hard headed.

438
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: He also is he all there upstairs? I understand these questions, Elizabeth,

439
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 2: And to that I would say, he's a man who

440
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: seeks great challenges.

441
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 3: Exactly.

442
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: He was once a professional cyclist.

443
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: Huh.

444
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like a competitor at heart. And long before that,

445
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: he started out life in Iran, That's where he was born,

446
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: and later, after the Iranian Revolution, he sought asylum in

447
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: the US. When he was busted for his constant attempts

448
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 2: to run across the sea, Raises said, I'm not doing

449
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: it for me. This isn't for raising I'm doing this

450
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: for others. And it was true. He had once been homeless,

451
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: and he wanted to raise money for homeless organizations by

452
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: running across the sea. I don't understand the connection. It's

453
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: kind of like when kids come up to your house

454
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: and they knock on the door and say, I'm gonna

455
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: run a mile. And when you like, donate money if

456
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: I run a mile, You're like, I'll give you a

457
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: quarter for every mile you run. Yeah, they're like, oh great.

458
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: So anyway, cut to twenty twenty one. His plan had

459
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: him running not from Florida to the UK, but for

460
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: Florida to New York. Remember this is he is not

461
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: made to switch and he's still just trying to run

462
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: up the Atlantic.

463
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: He's going to stay out of international waters.

464
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: Basically, that's the idea, that's twenty twenty one. But once again,

465
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: this is no small distance running to New York from Florida.

466
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: It would take him weeks to accomplish. It's night, yeah, exactly,

467
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: there's the question. He would be weeks alone at sea.

468
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: He would be inside his inflatable hamster wheel homemade watercraft,

469
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: by himself, sleeping, eating, doing all these bodily functions.

470
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: Does he have an anchor for it for when he's

471
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: sleeping at night.

472
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: No, But he had a place to sleep in his

473
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 2: hamster wheel. He had a hammock that was stretched out

474
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: inside of what you saw.

475
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 3: Wait, I have to look at this again now for food.

476
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: Oh and I keep feeling like he's going to run

477
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: and trip and fall down all.

478
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: Totally, and it's spending around the whole time now for food.

479
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: He planned to catch fish and eat them, which is

480
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: not the best plan, but especially for your going from

481
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: your inflatable watercraft with a spear. But what hey, whatever spearfish. Yeah. First,

482
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: sea sickness. That's right. You heard that my man Raises

483
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: suffers from motion sickness. Might brother and are exactly Now,

484
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: why would someone with motion sickness pop themselves inside of

485
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: a clear inflatable hamster round then run across the sea.

486
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense.

487
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: You would be able to you'd hear my dry heaves

488
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: all up and down on the eastern seaboard.

489
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: Oh, Elizabeth, I have to tell you he had medicine

490
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: on his side. He took dramamine, so boom he drama meine.

491
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: If you want to contact use contact sponsorship.

492
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 3: Have you seen the glasses for like motion signals? I

493
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 3: don't have it, so I have it and I've been

494
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: looking for all these remedies. And you can order these

495
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: glasses that are like clear and a tube for the

496
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: frame and then there's like a blue liquid in the

497
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: bottom of it, so that's like give you a balance

498
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: of the horizon. But they look so insane.

499
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 2: Half of what you see on the.

500
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 3: In the frame, in the tubular frame frame, it is

501
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: I you know, I'd rather barf all over myself than

502
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: look like that.

503
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 2: You're such a fashion Now you may be wondering some

504
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: of the particulars of this journey, because we've only gone

505
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: over some of the bold rush strokes. If you will

506
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: this plan, like, for instance, how fast can one man

507
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: power an inflatable hamster Wheel's great question, that's a good question.

508
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: It's a great question. Raisa estimated he could travel at

509
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: six knots an hour. Wow, that's soul. That's slow. Yeah,

510
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: that's that's not fast. I mean it's it's like it's

511
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 2: basically walking speed.

512
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 3: But for I know, but for all that contraption, I

513
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: didn't think he'd even go that.

514
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: It's fast a hamster wheel. I'll give you that totally.

515
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: I'm with you, moving all that mass around on water. Yeah,

516
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: that's faster than I would think. But it's slow if

517
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: you're running from Florida to New York. So, I mean,

518
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: that's a lot of time in a hamster wheel, That's

519
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But that's why Raisa had also rigged

520
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: up plenty of like, you know, sunshield because he's gonna

521
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 2: be out there on the water and that's you have

522
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: all the sunlight bouncing off every surf. It's a great

523
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: way to get a sunburn, right, So like, well, I'm

524
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: going to need sunshield for all my long daytime hours

525
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: of running. So he didn't just rig up any old sunshield, No,

526
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: not raise. He picked a special material. Can you guess

527
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: what that was, Elizabeth? He used a large photo of

528
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 2: a price is right model?

529
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: Stop it stop here. I'm thinking like one of those

530
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: like emergency blankets.

531
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, is it like vanta black painted? What did he do?

532
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: Could you imagine just absorbing all the universe? Wait? So

533
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: i hub a hubb a model?

534
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: Yes, hub model? Your boy? What you call him? Sweet? Sweet?

535
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: Boom boom?

536
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 3: Sure? So I don't remember what I say from.

537
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 2: He picked one of those bikini clad spokesmodels who stand

538
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: on like a bass boat during the showcase showdown. He's like,

539
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: that's what I want is my motivation? Yeah, it's better

540
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: than that because her name was Nicky Zerring. Wait, the

541
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: former playboy bunny and ex wife of actor. Yes, she

542
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: heard about this curious sunshield and the fact that Raisa

543
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: had numerous pictures of her on his on his website

544
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: just gets creepy where folks could track his progress because

545
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: he had a website, So he had all these photos

546
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: of her on that too, not just for him, he

547
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 2: shared the love.

548
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: Was this a way for him to get her attention?

549
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, but apparently they had mutual friends because

550
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: mutual friends put them in contact. And then Raza asked

551
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: her a favor. Elizabeth. According to Nicky's erring, he said,

552
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: can you be my wilson? Like in Castaway the Tom

553
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 2: Hanks movie.

554
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: Just wants her skin?

555
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: Have you seen the movie?

556
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: Like a bloody okay?

557
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 2: So he asked the model if she would be his

558
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: motivational volleyball. He's like, look, would you be my motivational volleyball?

559
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 2: And she was flattered. According to her, I said, I

560
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: would be honored to be your wilson.

561
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 3: So I mean, this is really did should she go

562
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: in there?

563
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: Did she no? Just her picture?

564
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: She's like, I thought he was going to keep her

565
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: in the wheels, actually be.

566
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: Her skin, her image, her image. I was warning, what

567
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: you're saying about skinning? I was like, I think the

568
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: ball deflates.

569
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 3: But and so he's just gonna have her skin in

570
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: a bag. No, and the thing that's big of her

571
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 3: to offer that, No, squeeze all the juice.

572
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 2: Image of her in the red, in the red like

573
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 2: simsuit or whatever. You just dropped the gross out the

574
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: first one. Four.

575
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Elbeth. Not have a photo of

576
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 3: a volleyball.

577
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: He had a volleyball metaphor.

578
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 3: If you have to meet it, So squeeze the juice

579
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 3: out of her, put her skin in there, shake all

580
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 3: the bones out.

581
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: Then you just got ourselves a motivation of Wilson over here. Well,

582
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: I listened to this and I thought, I'm just precise

583
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: with my all very really touching, and you scan her.

584
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't expect a stranger.

585
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: To be cool touching. It's creepy. Well yeah, it is crazy,

586
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: especially when I think about it.

587
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: But I'll put it to you this way, Elizabeth. You

588
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 2: don't expect anyone ever to be cool with someone like

589
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 2: a stranger asking them, hey, would you be my emotional

590
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: support volleyball? Right? But Nicki's earring. She's like, sure, I

591
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: mean I was. She was apparently impressed by my man

592
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: Raisa and all he had hoped to accomplish. And now

593
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: you know back to Nikki. She said, quote, he's going

594
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: to have a spear in case there's a shark. He's

595
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: going to run in a hamster wheel basically across the ocean.

596
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 2: She she was very impressed. Positive are like, he's basically

597
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 2: a real man. I think it's what she was trying

598
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: to get down to I in listening. Here's his own fish.

599
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 2: He runs across the ocean anyway, like Sharknado. He was

600
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: in Sharknado. I'm seeing the connection.

601
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 3: I am going to put the red thread on the.

602
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:45,719
Speaker 2: Wall, Elizabeth. Realize, realize, realize. So if someone told me

603
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: that they planned to spear sharks as they ran across

604
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: the ocean, right, and then they asked me if I

605
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: would be either touched on to humanity, I'd be like, yeah,

606
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: you got it, bro, just like her, Elizabeth, where's your heart?

607
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: I mean, that's all I'm saying. Anyway, even though he

608
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: had Nicki's earring as his emotional port volleyball. On a

609
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: fateful Saturday, Raisa and his homemade hydropod because that's what

610
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: the coast Guard calls it, aka his inflatable hamster wheel.

611
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: It washed ashore near Saint Augustine, Florida, he had once

612
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: again failed to run across the sea.

613
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: Why didn't he just take it and roll it up?

614
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: I ninety five bush it? I mean then he'd get

615
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: Florida to New York. You'd have a pavement. He'll still

616
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 3: be doing. I mean he could spear like call on

617
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: the side of the road.

618
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm into this. Well, the tourists on the beach

619
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: that day, Boy did they get a show, right?

620
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: They just is that the picture?

621
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the picture. Show.

622
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: There's like a guy there's a show, face down like sunbathing,

623
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: and it looks like he's about.

624
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: To get run over exactly. So the people in Florida

625
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: they seen Wilder and.

626
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 3: There's an empty chair next to him. So his companion

627
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: has run for help.

628
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: You know you can drive trucks on the beach in Florida, right,

629
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: so like a wild place. Oh yeah, actually every year

630
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 2: it's really sad. Now it's real sad. Anyway, Normally, if

631
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: something is washing a shore on a beach in Florida,

632
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like a beached whale, maybe a bale

633
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: of pot or like a brick of cocaine. You never

634
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: expect a man in a giant inflatable hamster wheel. So

635
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: the people are like, hey, take a picture of this

636
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 2: kid's anyway? Raised once again, they told you landed back

637
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: on Florida Shores. Defeated yet again, he popped up out

638
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 2: of his inflatable hamster wheel. He assessed the progress of

639
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: his day. How far did I make it this time? First,

640
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: he did decide where am I? Right? Am I?

641
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: Did I make it south of Where?

642
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: Did I make it to Georgia? Did I make it

643
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: to South Carolina? Nope? He realizes, all I'm in Sant Augustine, Florida. Right.

644
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: That means he made it about twenty five miles from

645
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: where he'd started. Twenty five miles. He only had another

646
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: nine hundred and seventy five miles to go.

647
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: An I want him to make it to Myrtle Beach?

648
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 5: Yeah?

649
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: No, Uh, what I showed you? That costs raise one

650
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars to construct.

651
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: Logic.

652
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 2: Right now you're looking at the product of more than

653
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: a decade of R and D. And when it comes

654
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: to your homemade ocean going watercraft, that state of the art.

655
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: I mean really yeah, totally. But that bad boy even

656
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: had a satellite phone.

657
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: What yes, I have to see it's very clever looking.

658
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: His inflatable bubble got caught in a hurricane, Like, yeah,

659
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: that can happen in the Atlantic Ocean at that time

660
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: of year or so. In case that happened, he had

661
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: his sat phone right in case he went to.

662
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 4: The dry tortuga, got caught there in the saragassa.

663
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: He also had a water filtration system.

664
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: Look good for him.

665
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, because drinking salt water that will drive you mad.

666
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: You know about that, right, you may be think of

667
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: there and your man raise. He already kind of sounds

668
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: a little mad. I understand that, Elizabeth, but not that

669
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: kind of mad. Saltwater make you mad and like, you know,

670
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: long for death. This is the fun kind of mad.

671
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: He's like, Yo, let's like, you know, go to an

672
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: insane clown posse show kind of mad. All right, let's

673
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 2: let's run to New York and a human hamster wheel

674
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: kind of mad, fun mad, Elizabeth. You know, other than

675
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: catching fish with his spear, what was he gonna eat?

676
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: You may be wondering, seagulls? Well, he have you not

677
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: heard the rhyme of the ancient mariner? You're not supposed

678
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: to eat these things anyway, any seabird, that's my rule,

679
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: don't need a seabird.

680
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: I'd make seagull one.

681
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: I respect off. Well he was out there. He did

682
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: have a small albatros sea birds. Any seabird, you don't

683
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 2: need a pelican, don't need a seagull. They needed albatross.

684
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 2: I'll eat a duck you going near a lake maybe.

685
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: Now what did he have in his small kitchen of sorts,

686
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: his little makeshift kitchen. He had granola and ramen noodles.

687
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: It's like my kitchen.

688
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he had no stove, so that was ramen

689
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: noodles dry.

690
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: I've thought about that a lot.

691
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: What eating ramen noodles dry?

692
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 3: Any pasta ramen dry? Like for an earthquake kit Yeah,

693
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: I thought like, well, you just soak it water long enough,

694
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 3: it just won't be warm.

695
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: Yes, from the most.

696
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: Part, honestly. I mean, if it takes a couple of months,

697
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: you can totally eat it.

698
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: But some of the some of the noodles can't go back.

699
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: Not salmon, no, But there's a food illness, food born

700
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: illness you can get from eating pasta. Sure so which

701
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: is screwed of any flour. I mean, like if you

702
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: just said flour and also you know with the egg

703
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: going bad if you have egg noodles. I wouldn't recommend

704
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 2: egg noodles. But like he's out there with his dry

705
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: ramen noodle bricks, eating it like a thick cracker.

706
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: Oh you can do that too, Yeah.

707
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: No, would you sprinkle the flavor dust on it or

708
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 2: eat it?

709
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: Just dry'd snort the flavors.

710
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: Smoked the ramen.

711
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 3: He like dehydrated. I wouldn't put the flames. That's gonna

712
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 3: suck all.

713
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: The hold it in your body. Just pull it out

714
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: the places you want it. Yeah. So, in his prior attempts,

715
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: the coast guard had always told him that he had

716
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: to register his homemade watercraft. As I told you my

717
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: man raised a he listened. This time. In twenty twenty one,

718
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: he filed paperwork with the State of Florida, a vessel

719
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: registration form in the area that they asked what sort

720
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: of propulsion system you run in there? Bro, He's like,

721
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: oh outboard, So yeah, he's the outboard engine.

722
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: What are you what are you looking at it? Out board?

723
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, very very fitting, I thought, all right.

724
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: And then he's not installed into the.

725
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: So that's where the fuel of his craft used. He

726
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 2: checked the box other as in like I don't know

727
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: ramen noodle. So now not many people are running ramen

728
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: these days, so they don't have a box driven.

729
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: It's a biofuel exactly.

730
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: So in the manufacturer box he put Florida Homemade Boats.

731
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: Just penciled it in. Now he's got a company name.

732
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: This is easy for him, Maybe he'll get business. Technically,

733
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: he didn't have to file a registration paperwork because according

734
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

735
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: I look this up, state law requires paperwork for any

736
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 2: non motor powered vessel that's longer than sixteen feet. That

737
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: law isn't mostly intended for sailboats, but not human powered

738
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: hamster wheels. And so they made a mistake because his

739
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 2: homemade watercraft was only ten feet at its widest point

740
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: and six feet long. Elizabeth, wait what it looks way bigger.

741
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 3: He was clear, this looks way big.

742
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 2: So he's all good under Florida law.

743
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so the guy in this in the foreground

744
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: of the photo is throwing.

745
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: Off Yes your scale okay, yes.

746
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 3: I mean it looked like it was like fifteen feet.

747
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: Exactly. So now he's got the laws of the sea

748
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 2: and the coast Guard also to deal with they would

749
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: force those which are different than Florida state law. So

750
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: that's what he'd run a foul of them past. Now

751
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: for his third attempt, he never reached out to the

752
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: coast Guard. So as he was running away from a

753
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: point where he had visibility from shore, Raza noticed his

754
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: GPS device on his inflatable hand aster wheel wasn't working.

755
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: This means he would have no idea where he was

756
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 2: once he lost sight of land. You're in a hamster wheel.

757
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: That's bad, right, So he decides I'm gonna head back

758
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: for sure, eventually washed ashore at Saint Augustine to the

759
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: amusement of the tourists. Right. But, as Razor recalled, quote,

760
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: I open the top door and jump out. They're laughing,

761
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: they're taking pictures of me. I know what I'm doing.

762
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: I am not dumb. They say, why do you do this?

763
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: It's a very good question, right, everybody really wants to know.

764
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 2: And then we've kind of covered it. But uh, the

765
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: reason why, Elizabeth Nikki, because it's there to be done

766
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 2: that Nicki, nicky'siring why he's doing it. Well, as you know,

767
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: for those who forgot, he was also doing this for

768
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 2: anybody who was experiencing homelessness, remember doing it for the kids.

769
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 2: Coast card is always like no, Raisa, it's not gonna

770
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: help them that way. And also raisea you're out of

771
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: compliance with the Captain of the Port order.

772
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: When he's all out there delirious and dehydrated, he's just

773
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 3: gonna be singing when.

774
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 4: Kids coming in out of consciousness, still singing the.

775
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: Song donate Jack card that day.

776
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 2: Now, have you ever heard by the great voice?

777
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 3: Thank you hurt?

778
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of captain of the Port order? No,

779
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: so a captain of the porter I'm glad you asked.

780
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 2: That's a rule we covered earlier, which is where you

781
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: have to have an escort or a support.

782
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 3: Vessel, right right, right, Okay, So if that's if he.

783
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 2: Planned to run across the sea, and if he didn't

784
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: have that the coastcar was like a failure to comply

785
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 2: with Captain of the Port orders is punishable by a

786
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: civil penalty of up to ninety five and eighty one dollars.

787
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: There may also be criminal penalties for violating the order. Yeah, serious, dude,

788
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 2: like almost one hundred grand for like not having an escort? Well,

789
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: what is this?

790
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 3: Or sometimes it's a fine of one hundred grand four

791
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 3: having an.

792
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: Esay, what part of Florida are we in?

793
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: Hey?

794
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: So now they wouldn't let my man eat or run, right,

795
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, come on, you want to do your thing? No,

796
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: Raisa indomitable, So what's he do? He's pulled off long

797
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 2: runs before on an open ocean. According to him, he

798
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: once ran four hundred miles in the Pacific Ocean in

799
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 2: a human powered, inflatable hamster wheel. So there's that, Elizabeth, Yeah,

800
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 2: don't doubt him. Four miles. However, that earlier version of

801
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 2: his homemade hydropod was destroyed, so there's also that. So

802
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: you got to balance these things out. So, as Razer

803
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 2: tried to explain to the coast guard, I can't afford

804
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: to support vessel, so leave me alone, bro, I'm just

805
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 2: trying to live my life in my hamster wheel. Now.

806
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: He also added, and I quote, I don't have a car.

807
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 2: I put everything in my life in it. So he's

808
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: basically homeless in a hamster wheel exactly. So, now that

809
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 2: we're all caught up and ready for last year's big

810
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: adventure in the open ocean, as Raisa once again attempts

811
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: to run across the sea in a human powered hamster wheel,

812
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: this time to England. Do you think he'll make it? Elizabeth? Yes, Okay,

813
00:37:48,680 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 2: let's take a break and after we'll find out.

814
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 3: All right, Elizabeth ros Zarin, here, I am.

815
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: You ready for some more storytime?

816
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 3: Yes?

817
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: Okay. After his twenty twenty one attempt to run from

818
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,959
Speaker 2: Florida to New York failed, and he'd failed a couple times, yeah,

819
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 2: old Captain bubble my Man raised, he decided to regroup

820
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 2: to reassess. After some contemplation, he decided he'd need to

821
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: up his game, so he needed to do something harder.

822
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: He'd picked too easy of a challenge. That was the problem.

823
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: He need to get out of into international waters, escape

824
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 2: the coast guard, and they're muddying around in his dreams.

825
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: So rather than to run to New York, he'd hamster

826
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: wheel his way all the way to jolly old England. Okay,

827
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: So his twenty twenty three handmade watercraft was no better

828
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 2: built than his prior versions. Exactly what you see.

829
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 3: It's a standard.

830
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 2: He knows a model that works. He's sticking with it, right.

831
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, what am I doing? Updating the wheel? Law?

832
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 3: Time to experiment, so.

833
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: The coast Guard, but no doubt once again deemed his

834
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: craft quote manifestly unsafe. Pardon poopers, right, So he knew

835
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: he certainly couldn't afford the possible one hundred grand fine,

836
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: so if he got caught and popped again, he could

837
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: do that. So he's like, I just gotta run. So

838
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: what do you think happened to Elizabeth?

839
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: He ran?

840
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 2: Well, yes, now, his dream of running across the ocean

841
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: was very real. So last year, Captain Bubble back at

842
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: it again. Do you think he made it this time?

843
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 3: Yes?

844
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: Well, no, you already know the answer. He didn't make it.

845
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: He's on this show.

846
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 3: I like to imagine he did.

847
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 2: No, the answer is hell no. But let's just forget

848
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 2: about all that. Let's just go there now. So Elizabeth,

849
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 2: I'd like you to close your eyes.

850
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: As close and picture it.

851
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: It's August twenty sixth, twenty twenty three. The sounds of

852
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: the sea fill the air, the rush of wind against

853
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: your cheeks, the sound of the water slapping against the

854
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 2: prow of the boat, the rhythmic rise engine wine and

855
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 2: then slapping fall of the boat. You somehow, Elizabeth, are

856
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: not seasick. Somehow you're also thrilled to be aboard the

857
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: Coastguard cutter of Valiant. You see, you are a trained

858
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 2: sea otter, part of a hush hush Coast Guard program

859
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 2: to train sea otters for search and rescue.

860
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 3: I love it.

861
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: You are a top secret sea otter. At the moment,

862
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 2: the US Coast Guard Cutter Valiant was taking a patrol

863
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 2: the boundary waters part of your team's preparations for the

864
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: approaching hurricane. And that's when someone shouts out that they

865
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: had spotted something on the horizon. The Coastguard Cutter Valiant

866
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: slows its mighty engines and then roars over in that direction.

867
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: You and the ship's crew spotted at about the same time,

868
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: a homemade human powered hamster wheel just bobbing along over

869
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 2: some very rough seas. You don't know math because you're

870
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: a top secret seahtter, but if you did know math,

871
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: you'd estimate that the vessel was approximately seventy nautical miles

872
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: east of Tybee Island, off the coast of Savannah, Georgia.

873
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: Oh I know where that is.

874
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: Yes, Now, this means this strange inflatable hamster wheel watercraft

875
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: is still in US territorial waters and thus subject to

876
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 2: US jurisdiction. Now, inside the homemade watercraft, you spy one

877
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: man alone. Don't know what his name is, but it's

878
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: Captain Bubble. Now you flop over to the side of

879
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: the boat. Your handler watches from the edge. You look

880
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 2: up at him and he gives you the nod. Over

881
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: the side you go. You follow your training. You slowly

882
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 2: approach and then circle the target vessel. Meanwhile, the crew

883
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 2: from the Coast Guard cutter ask the man inside the

884
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: giant inflatable hamster wheel to step outside of the vessel.

885
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 2: You hear one guard's ben shout to the man in

886
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: the bubble, we need to check the registration for your

887
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: flatable hamster wheel. The man inside Captain Bubble shouts back,

888
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 2: it's fine, it's cool. I have paperwork, but I don't

889
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 2: have it on me right now. I think I displaced

890
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: it somewhere. It's cool though, at the man of the

891
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 2: Coastguard cutter he shouts back, no, it is not cool.

892
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: At this point, Captain Bubble is basically getting pulled over

893
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 2: in the middle of the ocean, and it's a traffic

894
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: stuff right like licensed registration, sir. Anyway, the man of

895
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: the Coast Guard cutter you ask Captain Bubble, where are

896
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 2: you headed?

897
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: Sir?

898
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: You can't wait to hear the answer. You swim closer

899
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: to get a better view. Captain Bubble shouts back, I'm

900
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 2: just running over to England. Thought I pop over on

901
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 2: to maybe say a football match. Cohast card Guy's like, wait,

902
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: are you for real right now? Captain Bubble was ready

903
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: for that one. He shouts back, somenime, I'm surreal.

904
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 3: I'm surreal.

905
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: Now you swim and hop up onto the one of

906
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 2: the sections of the inflatable human hamster wheel, and you

907
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 2: quickly inspected seaworthiness. It is not seaworthy, not in your opinion.

908
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 2: You signal to your handler with a quick shake of

909
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 2: the head. Captain Bubble doesn't like this. He gets paranoid.

910
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 2: He shouts, the hell's that sea lion doing? Get him

911
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: off my hamster wheel. Now you look past the obvious

912
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 2: species based insult of calling you a sea lion, and

913
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 2: you choose to hop off of his homemade watercraft. When

914
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: you see Captain Bubble pull out a knife. Whoa Captain Bubble?

915
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: Why so serious? Now? But he is not playing? He

916
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: waves his knives. That's right, two knives, Elizabeth one in

917
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: each hand, but he doesn't threaten you. The man with

918
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: the knives on the inflatable water craft, he's just yelling back,

919
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: stay back, or I'll do it. He holds a knife

920
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 2: to his own head like Cleveland Buddle, holding the gun

921
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: on himself and blazing saddles the coastguard. Fell for it.

922
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 2: Going Guy's like stay back follows. I think he's just

923
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 2: crazy enough to do it. So meanwhile you have to

924
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: swim to a safe distance, which is good because Captain

925
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 2: Bubble soon realizes that his knife trick is not working.

926
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 2: You won't hold the coastguard off for long. But he

927
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: does know what we'll do the trick. He puts the

928
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: knives down, rummages throw his stuff inside the giant inflatable

929
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 2: hamster wheel. He finds what he's looking for. He lifts

930
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 2: up into view and all you can see is a

931
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 2: mess of colorful wires in his hand. Is he holding yep?

932
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 2: It is he's holding a bomb? Wait what? You swim

933
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 2: right back to the coast guard Cutter Valley intend Your

934
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 2: handler tosses you down to sling. You slip your head

935
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 2: inside a loop and he quickly hauls you above the

936
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: board a boat. You hear the radio operator say, this

937
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: is us CGC Valiant to base, requesting immediate assistant from

938
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 2: US Navy Explosive Organs Disposal Unit to King's Bade Georgia

939
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 2: over And like that, you leave it to the bomb

940
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 2: guys in Gallas to figure out how big this blast

941
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: radius will be for Captain Bubble's homemade bomb.

942
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 3: He brought a bomb. He brought a picture of Nicky's

943
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 3: er right in a bomb.

944
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: Well well done, ucy Otter, I mean, just Johnny on

945
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 2: the spot. You did set off an unhinged man during

946
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: a rescue mission, but whatever, So I guess now we

947
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 2: see why the Navy has top secret dolphins and the

948
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 2: Coast Guard has top secret sea otters. Do you know

949
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: they used to have parrots or so, yeah, there's like

950
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: some seabirds. There's some bird the Coastguard. No, they used

951
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 2: them for like finding people lost at sea. Anyway, the

952
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 2: next day my man raised us still at it, and

953
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: now he has a bomb, so everyone is far more

954
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 2: likely to listen to his demands. But now that they

955
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 2: are listening, rather ironically, they are far less likely to

956
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 2: let him run to London with a bomb on board.

957
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's kind of getting into his own way,

958
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: so exactly, the Coast Guard was just as persistent as

959
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 2: Captain Bubble was stubborn. They called in backup, so the

960
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: US Coast Guard Cutter Campbell joined the party with the

961
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: Coastguard cutter Valiant. The Campbell sent over a fresh boat

962
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: to negotiate with Captain Bubble. The Coast Guard officers they

963
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 2: aim to talk down the man with the bomb trying

964
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 2: to run to London. They're like, bro, you can't do that. Now.

965
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: Get They tried to get him to, you know, leave

966
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 2: the human hamster wheel, and they tried to first talk

967
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: some sense into him. They tried to connect on a

968
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: human level, but everyone was kind of way past that,

969
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 2: Like if sense was a place, like we'll call it Cincinnati, Ohio.

970
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: They were like, at this point in Barstow, everybody's way

971
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: out now. So the Coast Guard officers they're trying though,

972
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 2: they're trying to keep things reasonable. So they're like, well,

973
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 2: let's what's uh, Let's approach him on his hierarchy of needs.

974
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 2: So they'd send over fresh food and water right now.

975
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 2: They're smart, right then they tell them, oh, yeah, we

976
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: got important news about your survival. There's a hurricane on

977
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: the way, they were not lying there was a hurricane

978
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 2: on the way. Captain Bubbles like, okay, cool, I'll keep

979
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: that in mind. I better get running. So the Coast

980
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 2: Guard officers were like, no, I don't think you heard me, buddy,

981
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 2: there is a hurricane coming. And he did hear them, Elizabeth.

982
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: He just did not care because Captain Bubble was way

983
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 2: more confident than the Coastguard was about his ability to

984
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 2: survive a hurricane. He's like, let me at that storm, bro,

985
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 2: I could run through and I'll buffalo.

986
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 3: Right through that.

987
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: Boy. I don't care if open ocean. So there was

988
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: this that as I told you, that decade of R

989
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 2: and D that went into this latest version of his

990
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 2: human powered hamster wheel right construction, next level when it

991
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 2: comes to like bespoke handmade ocean going inflatable furniture and

992
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: intended for small mammals. But the Coast Guard, they had

993
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 2: a very good point, and their point was this, hey, buddy,

994
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 2: you have a satellite phone, right, And he's like, oh, yeah,

995
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 2: I got one. I got GPS and a backup and

996
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: they're like that's great, that's great, buddy, But uh, my

997
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 2: point is if you have to use your satellite phone,

998
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: who are you gonna call? And they're like, you're gonna

999
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: call us, right, and you're gonna say please come save me.

1000
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 2: And we're telling you now, we don't want to have

1001
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: to come back out during a storm to save your

1002
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: happy ass, So why don't you just come back to

1003
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 2: shore with us now? And he's like, huh, making good

1004
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 2: points there, off sir, So what do you think my man?

1005
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 2: Captain Bubble said, once he thought about it.

1006
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to England.

1007
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, yes, Lisbie, he said, no, my friends,

1008
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 2: I thank you for checking on me, but if you

1009
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 2: excuse me, I need to get running. So they're like, no,

1010
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 2: we're not really asking. We were trying to be friendly,

1011
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 2: we're not really. Don't make us pop it.

1012
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 3: Pull out their harpoons, his dragon, take out all the

1013
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 3: beach balls that are filling my hamster wheel.

1014
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: To have like a shooting gallery exactly. So at this point, though,

1015
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 2: Captain Bubble, remember he's got the bomb in his hands

1016
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 2: with the wires. He reminded the coast guard that he

1017
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: had a bomb, right, and the coast guards like, all right,

1018
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: fair point, you got the bomb. Okay, well we'll still listen.

1019
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 2: We forgot about the bomb buddy, so the captain bubble.

1020
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 2: Then he did what the truly was unexpected, Elizabeth, you

1021
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 2: won't even guess, because it's difficult for a man who

1022
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: wants to run across the sea in an inflatable hamster

1023
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: wheel to surprise people. Now we think like that's the

1024
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 2: most outrageous thing. But he's like, no, no, I got

1025
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 2: one more trick up in my sleep. He let the

1026
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: coast guard know this bomb isn't real. Guys. Oh, he

1027
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: just like I didn't. I don't want you guys worried.

1028
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go run to England. Now, can I go?

1029
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: It's just a tangle of wires, he showed him. He

1030
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: was just holding up a tangle of wires. Did he

1031
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: just bring a tangle just grab wires from like the

1032
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 2: back of his GPS work? No, not, while he's talking

1033
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 2: to the coast guard. Didn't matter.

1034
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 3: He's going to put all the wires back.

1035
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm not in a mechanic. I don't know what.

1036
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 3: He just did this for effect, But now he's left

1037
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 3: with a tangle of wires and no.

1038
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 2: Ver so the coast Guard, they didn't know have to,

1039
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, make a debate anymore. They basically said, your

1040
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: plan they you know, just shot him with the heartpoon

1041
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 2: and drug him back. No, they didn't really do the

1042
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: next day.

1043
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: Wait this more than one day on August twenty ninth.

1044
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 3: But why didn't they just attach something? I mean, it's

1045
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 3: just dragon, It's like a giant.

1046
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 2: I just have a steel frame.

1047
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 3: So put a hook on it and drag him home.

1048
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 3: He's not going to be able to overpower. They should

1049
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 3: have had you on that boat every time.

1050
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 2: Well. August twenty nine, twenty twenty three, the US Coast

1051
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: Guard Cutter Campbell launched its small boat and send it

1052
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 2: back over to visit with Captain Bubble. They checked in

1053
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 2: with him, but see if he was willing to climb

1054
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: out and returned to shore before the hurricane arrived any

1055
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 2: day now and they had to rescue him. The Coast

1056
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 2: Guard they weren't They weren't entirely sure if the bomb

1057
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: was real or not real, because they've hadn't seen the

1058
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: He just held up like, oh, these are just wires. Yeah,

1059
00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 2: maybe he really does have a bomb. I don't know.

1060
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 2: So anyway, on day three of their open ocean standoff,

1061
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 2: they're like, what are we going to do? Suddenly, as

1062
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 2: I told you, Elizabeth, there was a miracle, much like

1063
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: how Jesus felt. On day three, Captain Bubble decided he

1064
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 2: was ready to roll back the rock, step outside, and

1065
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 2: stretch his legs. He told the Coastguard he'd let them

1066
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 2: help him disembark from his doomed vessel. Oh, my man

1067
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 2: raised up, popped open the lid to his inflatable human

1068
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 2: hamster will, and he happily climbed out.

1069
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 3: Wow.

1070
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1071
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 3: A few days later, one day with a non consensual towing.

1072
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 2: Exactly consensual towing. That's good now. At a US Coast

1073
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 2: Guard base in Miami, Captain Bubble was there dealing with

1074
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: his yet again defeat by the sea and the coast Guard,

1075
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 2: and he had to go. What would Nikki think? What

1076
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 2: must think?

1077
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: She's so disappointed, asked her skin suit in the in

1078
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 3: the boat. How much money did we waste getting this

1079
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 3: guy off the water?

1080
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: Oh, we're saving lives, Elizabeth, No money is wasted, I guess.

1081
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 2: So let's play a guessing game. Do you think you'll

1082
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 2: do it again?

1083
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 3: Yes?

1084
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 2: Just right? Immediately? Will Captain Bubble try to run across

1085
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: the Atlantic, maybe turn to the Pacific? Who knows?

1086
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 3: Who knows?

1087
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 2: But stay tunes water sports fans, because if he does,

1088
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 2: will tell.

1089
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 3: You he should like trying and go across the Gulf

1090
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 3: of Mexico. First, yes, something but one of the great lakes.

1091
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 2: Although the Gulf of Mexico is kind of a washing machine.

1092
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: It spins, it spins around, So he would if he

1093
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: could go in one direction that he'ld be aiming for

1094
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 2: Texas and he'd end up like in you know Ja

1095
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 2: he did once again the Joytritouka. So what's our ridiculous

1096
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 2: takeaway here.

1097
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 3: Elizabeth, Uh, just stay off the water. I don't know.

1098
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 2: Well. I will quote my man huang Zou. Yes, so

1099
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,919
Speaker 2: of Taoist fame, he said, And I quote Once upon

1100
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: a time, I schwang Su dreamt. I was a butterfly,

1101
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 2: fluttering hither and thither to all intents and purposes, a butterfly.

1102
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly,

1103
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 2: unaware that I was shoe. Soon I awaked, and there

1104
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 2: I was veritably myself again. Now I do not know

1105
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 2: whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly,

1106
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 2: or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am

1107
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: a man. My man raised it. My point is aka

1108
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 2: Captain bubble. Yeah, he doesn't seem to know if he's

1109
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 2: a man or a hamster. But I say, let him

1110
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: dream on and if he goes run again, let him

1111
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: don't go chasing the inflatable ball. Let's see if he

1112
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 2: can make it. And if he can't, well that's what

1113
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 2: happens to hamsters.

1114
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 3: Stick to the rivers in the lakes that he's used to.

1115
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 2: Am I too much of a naturalist, and let's say

1116
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 2: let him run?

1117
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 3: Oh no, I agree, Just let him do it. Yeah,

1118
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 3: all right, So what I mean, he's a choice exactly,

1119
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 3: and he knows all the dangers. They've made it clear.

1120
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 2: Let nature be wild. Who I'm saying we're part of nature?

1121
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.

1122
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 2: All right, Well there you go. That's all I got

1123
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 2: for you. Oh hey, by the way, you in the

1124
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 2: mood for a talkback? Oh gosh, yes, hate it producer Dave.

Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love get.

1126
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 5: The beginning of this. So the bling ring one just

1127
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 5: had me laughing. When I was a little kid, I

1128
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 5: asked my sister to come over and smell the stuff

1129
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 5: I had because it's smelled like summer to me. So

1130
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 5: I sprayed it.

1131
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 3: It was WD.

1132
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 5: Forty right into her eye. My mom had to rush

1133
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 5: her to the hospital. But apparently I really really like

1134
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 5: the smell. So good to know that there's a perfume

1135
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 5: out there with that smell, and my sister will be

1136
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:26,960
