Okay, 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.960 did you know that there was a mash video game 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.560 developed in nineteen eighty. 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:25.320 Three for uh Atari? Yeah?

But then the reception. One guy, Mark Berman, 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.360 who wrote for Electronic Fun with Computers and Games, I 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.760 thought that realized the war found it quote heartless given 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.440 how quote gruesome the war was, that it lacked humanity 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.280 in the you know that was in the film and 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.160 the and the TV show. But he said it says 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.920 despite this, Berman still found the gameplay quote terrific. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:20.320 The gameplay is amazing, amazing gameplay. Someone else field surgery component. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.360 Yeah, someone else said it was boring because it didn't 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.760 have the humor and the personalities of the TV show. 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.800 Here's my favorite though, how would have the computer and 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:29.800 video games? 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.120 In their review of the magazine Computer and Video Games, Yes. 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.560 They found the control that controlling a scalpel using a 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:41.360 joystick was less responsive than it was on a keyboard. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.440 There really was a scalpel. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.320 Yes, scalpel. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.200 And then you got to use a joystick on an Atari. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.440 It was blown apart bodies. The kids are in their 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.760 scalpel and elbows deep in blood. 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:58.520 And then suicide is painless plays yeah, and they're like. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.400 A trap, Can you hand me a stint or whatever? 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:00.920 Exactly? 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:01.880 This is amazing. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:03.320 And then hot Liss. 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.320 And this wasn't a hit. I've never heard of this game. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.160 Yeah, well, I mean I don't think it was much 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.400 of a hit. Like I said, they went nuts on 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.760 the marketing. Then they cut the price in half because 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.440 there were too many Atari six twenty six hundred games on. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.120 The market, okay at twenty six hundred. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:19.680 And that was the other thing is. 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.200 You're playing with a very simple joystick like Pong level 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:23.839 like Tank. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.520 That's all you had with Atari was a button and 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.239 a joystick. Now I will tell you that they held 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.960 a contest for someone to come up with the premise 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:40.600 for mash to video game, like this time with more PTSD, 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.320 and they were going to give twenty five grand to 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.320 whoever came up with the best idea, and then you'd 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.520 also get like, you know, a mash t shirt. Some 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.159 of the prizes, like if you didn't get it, but 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:52.080 you came in close, you. 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.479 Could get a jeep, like a military jeep. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:55.640 Get like an AMC jeep. 0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.520 They give you like computers, other cool video games. The 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:05.040 sequel never happened. No one came up with a good idea. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:11.360 I guess, Okay, there you go. So that's ridiculous, ridiculous. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.920 Wow, I'm gonna need a moment. Yeah, that's a lot 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.000 of process. That's a hell of a good one. I've 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.760 got one for you if you got a second please. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.359 I mean, honestly, I was reading about this one and 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.520 I could not believe that I wasn't the one to 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.599 pull off this publicity stunt. I was like, really kind 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.680 I was kind of heated. I can tell him, you know, like, 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.640 how could this guy steal all the dumb glory for himself? 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:38.000 Oh no, yeah, yeah, this California snowboarder YouTube influencer. Wanna 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.359 be this guy? He takes a flight, right, and he 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.359 takes his camera. Now I say takes a flight, I 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:47.039 mean his personal plane. Oh he doesn't so yeah, no 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.400 ticket involved, no drink service. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.479 He and then it was like being on Southwest exactly. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.760 It's just like Southwest and he's like up there, solo 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.560 flight and he has this emergency and all of a 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.000 sudden he has to crash his plane. Yeah, it turns 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.239 out he may have done it on purpose. What yes, 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.560 for clout and for cash? Yeah, Elizabeth, if this was me, 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.080 I would have crashed this plane for free. I would 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.920 have crashed this plane for the people. Trust me. This 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.000 story is even wilder because this guy, he didn't do 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.960 it for the people. He did it for the GRAM. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:43.560 Oh boy, this is ridiculous crime A podcast about absurd 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.520 and outrageous capers, heists and cons. It's always ninety nine 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.400 percent murder free and ridiculous. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.040 Yep, it is. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:58.000 Certified, right, is total guarantee. That's what the kids say 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.080 right back in like ninety eight. Elizabeth, you know how 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.240 sometimes you worry I won't make it here for our 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.040 recordings of the show, because I've done something stupid again 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.400 and got myself injured. Yeah right, well you must be 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.920 glad that I don't have a pilot's license. Could you 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.920 imagine if I could get up to twenty thousand feet 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:15.120 no one could stop me. 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.560 It's like, would you pilot the plane while wearing roller blades? 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.880 I could? Then we need to hit a gas if 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:23.320 you just. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.360 Put holes in the plane and when you want to land, 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.680 he tried to style with rollerblades. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.080 I'm loving this. I know this is genius. So uh 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.760 do you know that? Like when I was a teenager, 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:35.720 I tried to fly. 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.640 On my own, tried to fly on you with like 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.720 a plane or just like a little PCP and jumped 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:41.320 off a building. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.239 No PCP, okay, but I did jump off a building. 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:45.760 Wait what? 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:47.960 Oh yeah? I used to hang off the sides of buildings. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:49.760 It was crazy, so I could. I didn't get my 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.680 driver's license at like early, like at sixteen, like most kids, like, 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.400 I waited till I was like think twenty. But my 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.840 best my best friend, he got his driver's license, right, 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.520 so we got in his car, and being teenagers, we 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.080 do dumb stuff, right, So eventually I was able to 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.920 talk him into helping me achieve my dreams of flight. 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.440 And you may be wondering, would he drive you to 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.360 the airport to steal a plane? No, Elizabeth, I didn't 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.800 steal a plane. We went out into this field right 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.600 and it was this field, you know, Davis, with the 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.080 town that I grew up in, the one where you 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.800 went to college. This was in downtown Davis, and there 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.720 was a grass field. This was like where they have 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.600 like now a mall, like at the right by the 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.560 train tracks to go to like the freeway right in downtown. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.600 Is one point where the unto the freeway. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.640 Yes, runs right there anyway, So right there we used 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.880 to go and drive around and I would get up 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.160 on top of his car and we would then get 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.520 up to speed and I'd tap on the car roof. 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.920 He would slam on the brakes and I would be 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.000 thrown forward and I would fly. 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.000 When you say, oh, when you say up to speed, 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:48.680 what was speed? 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.960 You know? We worked it out that it was thirty 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:52.720 was the best. 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.240 Speed, thirty miles an hour. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:55.839 Yeah, And that took a little of figuring out. We 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.199 figured twenty five was not fast enough to throw me 0:08:58.240 --> 0:08:59.760 far enough in front of the car that he wouldn't 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.360 run me over. Thirty five was a little too fast 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.640 where I was like, when I'm coming down, I'm rolling 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.079 too much. I could break an arm, and forty was like, whoa, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.800 this is way too fast. If thirty was a sweet 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.240 spot where I could get up, go like forty feet 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.960 in the air, maybe fifty or whatever, flying squirrel up 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:15.760 my arms. 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.520 Out and then he slams on the brakes and then 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:18.920 you fly. 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.599 Huh yeah, so that's what you. He would slam on 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:22.959 the brakes. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.959 I would fail for your parents. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.320 My dear mother. The first time we did this, we 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.439 hadn't worked out like, oh, I'm gonna roll right you 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.559 you turn the wheel left, so you didn't. 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.880 Do like schematics like a grash paper. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.320 I worked out like how it would go that way, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.440 feels like triangles. I was like, okay, I'll be up here. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.560 You hit the brakes. It'll throw me like this at 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.840 this kind of arc. Right, So I'm like doing stuntman 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.319 math as I figured it out. I figured this out 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.400 works right, So I'm like, I'm gonna dream of flying 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:51.400 and we're gonna make it happen. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.640 Yet on the road on the grass. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:54.720 No, he would We're on a grass field. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.680 So he'd drive on the field exactly, but he. 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.000 Would slide on the grass when he would hit the brakes. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.319 So the first time he did it, I'm in front 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.800 of him, right, and he's sliding on the grass, and 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.359 he's worried he's gonna run me over. So he drives, 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.520 you know, he basically steers to the left and then 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.320 rolls to you know, the car to rolls to his 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.480 left is now relative to me. I roll off to 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.520 the right. Yeah, And luckily that we both made the 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.400 right choices. He could have gone to the right. I 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.040 got went to the right. That would have been really bad, 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.240 or you know whatever. Or he just didn't turn it 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:24.959 all and I didn't move it all. He ran me 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.079 over either way, totally survived, right, So what. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:28.840 You're trying to say is that you and your friend 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:29.800 were morons. 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.760 Yes, exactly. Okay, So also what I'm trying to say, I. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.400 Kind of have brain damage from this. How many times 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:37.800 did you fly off the car? 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.280 Oh? Thirty forty fifty times? Like tons as many times. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.240 It wasn't like we did this three times, Oh. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.400 No, we did this multiple days until we got started 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.880 getting seen people noticed us doing injury. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:48.520 You had I. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.400 Never get injured. I mean, like i'd like get bruised 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.560 a little bit, never like broke anything or twisted anything. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.760 Because this wasn't the beginning. This was not the first 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.080 thing I had dreamed of flight since I was a 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.680 little boy. You know, Like how was that we go 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.760 kind of person who would go and like it doesn't matter, 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.160 but like I wanted to get up into the sky, right, 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.640 And so what I'm saying is, if you're going to 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.360 intentionally crash land to earth, I understand you, Like I 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.000 get you, like I am your people.

But well, I 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:20.960 just gotta ask you, did you and your brother ever 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:21.559 do anything like this? 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:21.800 Man? 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.480 You're jumping bed high five like silly stumps. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.559 No, I mean here's I did break my wrist kind 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.400 of like jumping a ten speed bicycle off something that's 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:32.000 pretty stupid. 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:32.600 Yeah, there you go. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.480 But for the most part, like I don't know if 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:35.920 I've said it on here or not, but I don't 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:36.920 go to amusement parks. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.079 I don't go on roller. 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.280 Coasters because like I spend most of my time trying 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.560 to not die, So it's not an exciting feeling for me. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.600 Feeling like you will die, like, I don't get a 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:47.040 thrill out. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.200 I don't like edging on death. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.720 No, I come on, I'm the one who wants to 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:51.320 start sling. 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.600 Some people do like enjoy roller coasters because it's like 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.280 they know they're not really gonna die. 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:58.839 I don't like you know you're not going to die. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:11:59.720 But I don't like that. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.440 Feeling that, even getting close to it, they're verging on it. 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:02.679 No. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:07.120 I like to lay in a hammock and enjoy the sunshine. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:08.920 Count the profits from stall, like. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.400 Think about all the possible diseases I might have and 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:12.480 could take me at any. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.600 Moment, and avoided by not going out of the house percisely.

Now. This fella he one 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.360 upped me right because he didn't use a car. He 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.360 went out and got himself a plane and then he 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.480 flew that for like thirty five minutes and then he 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.360 intentionally crashed that into the earth. 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:38.920 Hu. 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.200 Even I wouldn't do that. Yeah, I was like, wow, 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:41.960 show off. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:42.320 Yeah. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.600 Anyway, So the grand spirit of idiots everywhere, Elizabeth, I'd 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.360 like to introduce you to my man, Trevor Jacob, twenty 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:54.400 nine year old pilot, skydiver, competitive snowboarder, all around publicity stuntman. Now. 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.920 On Christmas Eve twenty twenty one, Trevor Jacob, he uploaded 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.760 this thirteen minute video to YouTube with the I grabbing 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:06.880 title of I crashed my plane Now. Spoiler alert, Trevor Jacobs, 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.520 he totally survived the plane crash, so you don't have 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:10.280 to worry about like. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.760 Well, so he didn't write it from the after life crash. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.559 Plan, his family didn't post. It was his last wish. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.640 Till his last words post I crashed my plane. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.079 Okay, there it is. So the video of the crash 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.480 and him surviving it was a monster hit on his 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.240 YouTube channel, right, he gets like three point one million 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.720 views and yeah, and so that's like this video. It 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.800 was a a roller coaster of emotion, not just because 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.520 he's like, oh, I crashed the plane, but like beyond 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.800 the whole plane crash angle. The flight was also originally 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.240 meant to be away for Trevor to go and honor 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:44.280 a friend who passed. 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.240 I was so hoping that you were saying that he 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.760 was carrying like life flight like organs. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.520 He had a heart up into like a like one 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:51.760 of those little cooler exactly. 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.080 It's all thumping away in there, tumbles down a ravine. 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.120 No, he wasn't a lifeguy, flight guy, know, he was 0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.720 just he had his friend's ashes with him. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:00.680 What. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.480 Yeah, so he in the plane, uh huh yeah. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.679 Was he gonna like sprinkle him as he flew? 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:06.840 Like that was the thing? 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.160 Yeah, like like tinker bell stuff exactly. 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.480 It's like, yeah, here's some magic tink tinker bell dust. 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.400 He's tinkle bell when he does. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.120 He's zooming around higher over the mountains, and he's in 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.080 southern California, because of course he is, and he's he's 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.280 above the ski resort. 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.840 He's in Southern California exactly exactly. 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.680 The guy's like the well, you just got to hear 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.200 his friend's name. The friend's name is Johnny Strange. Yeah, 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.120 So on this fateful day, Trevor's journeyed up above the 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.400 clouds to spread the ashes of Johnny Strange. Okay, now, 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.200 this dearly departed best friend, Johnny Strange, had passed away 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.240 from a base jumping accident. Right, So, I don't know 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.000 if Trevor planned like empty his friend's ashes into the 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.440 sky so that he could make it safely to Earth 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:48.880 this time. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.400 Is he just like replaying the whole exactly? 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.000 That's what I thought him, Like, that's kind of not 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.200 what you should do, Like anything, you should not do that. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.600 That's kind of how whatever, it's not my call. Maybe 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.120 he wanted, as I said, to make it so if 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.320 he's like, you know, making sure all of my ashes 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.800 eventually get there anyway, what that's not what happened. Because 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.600 the day November twenty fourth, twenty twenty one, Trevor Jacobs 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.240 he drives out to Lompoc City Airports, little airport in 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:16.000 southern California. His flight plan would have him fly up 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.360 to this tiny airstrip in the mountains that the locals 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.040 called Mammoth Yosemite Airport. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:21.920 Oh, no, I you know where that is. I know 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.360 where that is? 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.080 Look at you Jet Center right, flying to ski resorts 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.240 without Yeah, it's. 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.560 Like Paris, Milan, Yosemite. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.800 Yosemite exactly in my book I know I've read so 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.040 Trevor Jacob. He climbs into his tiny personal plane. So 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.920 they told you. He goes through his his like pre 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.040 flight check. He contacts the tower, he logs his flight plan. 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.560 Then he fires up the propeller. Because it's a one 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:45.800 prop propeller plane. 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.080 Do you have to get out and spin it? 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:52.080 Yeah? Contact, So he aims the plane. Still, No, he 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.360 aims the plane's nose down the runway, grips the throttle, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.880 fires the engine, and then he turns that little plane 0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:59.920 loosened the sky and now it's a little plane, right, 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.360 So it rolls down the runway, the wheels lift off 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.360 the tarmac, and then it just slowly begins. It's a 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.160 scent into sky. Doesn't zoom into the sky. This plane 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.000 is a nineteen forty plane. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.360 Oh, he didn't make it himself. He wasn't doing it, 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:13.240 old John Denver. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.400 No, it's not like one of those aerial planes like, oh, 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.560 I've got like the lighter than air thing. But yeah, exactly, 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.320 now one of those. He's a YouTube guy. So he 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:20.560 gets himself an old plane. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.440 That's what we call in the business a tuber. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.760 So this tuber, he's got plenty of cameras right with 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.080 him for his flag. The plane was outfitted with multiple cameras, 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.880 multiple angles for close ups, and for narration's sake, he 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.480 had a selfie stick in there with him. So he's 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.640 talking to the camera on the stick and he's got 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.480 you know, he's up there high above Los Padres National 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.000 Forest right and below him is stretching hills, mountains. They're 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.480 all recently made green from a winter rain or I 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.040 guess autumn ranks. It's still it's November, so the world 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.080 below him, it's turning now into wrinkled mountains, just draped 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:56.000 with this green cloth of fresh grass. Right, boom, tragedy strikes. 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.920 Yeah, I laughing. Tragedy strikes. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.359
