Speaker 2:Oh man, that's like a power move, Like who's jet skis You Rent-Om.
Speaker 1:No, they were actually buddies. His girlfriend's parents. Distant, so you know when I'm riding on him.
Speaker 2:I'm kind of like It's okay, Whatever happens happens.
Speaker 1:Well, he's like it goes 60 and I'm thinking I'm not really going to go 60.
Speaker 2:Whoa, I try to go 75,.
Speaker 1:Bro, Fuck that Well I mean, i'm not worried about myself, i'm worried about flipping somebody else's jet ski. That thing was big, i don't know how I'd flip it back over.
Speaker 2:I think they're made to be flipped back over like easily.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that one was really big, it was like a three-person one.
Speaker 2:It was really big man, true, so you had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1:It was I don't know that it was old school. It was real nice. Yeah, it was a cosplay, though, and the cosplay is the worst beach ever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not really a beach, it's like a.
Speaker 1:It's rocks. Somebody cut their foot. I had to leave. All my kids have cuts on their feet now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it builds character right. I'm pretty sure when you were younger you just I saw them in those callus. Yeah, like that was you right Like.
Speaker 1:You, just like, were one big callus.
Speaker 2:Yeah, climb up barnacles. I literally remember how gross I was. Like dude, my feet will get sliced, or like it's fine.
Speaker 1:It's fine, dude. I've been doing this for years. I don't have them anymore, though It doesn't work I didn't cut my feet, but I mean shit hurt out there.
Speaker 2:It's the same way as like a guitar, like on your fingers, like I don't have calluses on my fingers anymore, you know because you work out now. So like you have calluses, but like when you didn't have a callus.
Speaker 1:No, I'm still building the calluses. Yeah, I'll grab some of those machines and I'll be like, why am I even doing this?
Speaker 2:What do you mean?
Speaker 1:Because it just hurts my hands so bad to just like grab the bar and fucking. Are you gripping it?
Speaker 2:like with your forearm, as much as you can.
Speaker 1:I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Okay, i don't really need to get into that too much, did I grip it tighter. I think the harder you rip it, like I don't know what you're workout you're doing, but I know some workouts you want to like grip it so hard and you like, when you're doing the bench press, like they say, to envision that you're trying to snap the bar while you're like pushing it.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying So like a lot of the force is generated from your forearms, Hey, I'm open to any sort of knowledge or information I can gain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean like he's always just like a gaining type deal for right. So yeah, man, I mean like So how about you?
Speaker 1:How was your weekend?
Speaker 2:My weekend. My weekend was pretty brutal. It was kind of working a double on Saturday, made a bunch of money. Sunday I chilled super, super hard. What did I do Sunday, man? I watched comedy all day. I think that's what I did. Yeah, i wrote some new jokes.
Speaker 1:So is that all you watch now? You don't ever watch drama or nothing like that.
Speaker 2:No, I watched some anime But I someday I felt like I was like doing, like work. You know it's like when I watch it, it's like it's like studying. You know, like when you're like, like when you're into, when you're super into football you know like watching old players and you're trying to see plays and stuff.
Speaker 1:I mean, i don't know that I was. I think I always enjoyed it.
Speaker 2:What do you mean Like?
Speaker 1:like even when it like felt like, like even on like film days when I'd go in and watch film. Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So it's like it's like a day where you're off and you're still trying to like do something, but like, not like, overcrowd your brain you know, But it's like it's just fun to watch these things and also like watching some of the comedians deal with hecklers. I guess like hecklers are like such a small portion of it, but it's like.
Speaker 1:I was thinking of that today. I was like what are you going to do if you get your first heckler?
Speaker 2:I'm going to rip them apart.
Speaker 1:I am, i'm going to rip them apart, guys.
Speaker 2:No, it's not that I'm going to shred them. What I guess. What the technique is and this is what I've seen is you let them keep saying stuff like once, twice through, like literally, to where everyone else in the room like wants that person to like be removed, and then you can literally just say whatever you want and say it like that, and then everyone else is like because they like want that person gone.
Speaker 1:At that point you know they got techniques to deal with these people.
Speaker 2:Literally do, although I was watching George Carlin. deal with it. You better not heckle George Carlin, because you're he's going to kill your whole family.
Speaker 1:He's a pretty witty guy, yeah.
Speaker 2:He literally like told this person he wanted his kids to like get diabetes and like die in the street. It was terrible.
Speaker 1:Jeez, if I was in the audience I'd be like whoa man.
Speaker 2:But everyone was laughing because George Carlin, he talks like that. I don't know.
Speaker 1:It's pretty brutal.
Speaker 2:It was super, super brutal. I don't think I would ever take it that far.
Speaker 1:I would never want to, or like a regular corona. Is there like a dark corona?
Speaker 2:It just says that it's made in. So the other one is like made with ingredients, i think from Mexico, and this one is actually made in Mexico. It's like actual. It's like a more. It's an imported Corona. It tastes a little better, i think. I think it tastes a little better. Is it the same color? I don't know, because it's got that brown bottle. Just drink a little And just put it right past the dip. Who cares?
Speaker 1:It tastes just like a Corona.
Speaker 2:All right. Well then it's delicious. I don't fucking know what to say. I like it. You don't like Corona's? I take it. No, I don't hate him. Oh shit, That's what I did. David Nelson's in town.
Speaker 1:Oh, david Nelson's in town. Yeah, i hung out with David Nelson man.
Speaker 2:I seen him at a bar in Wisconsin. I was trying to get him to go with me to the improv on Wednesday but he's got so much stuff to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, usually whenever they are friends coming to town, they're way too busy to hang out.
Speaker 2:Well, it's just the way it is, because he's always busy. Everyone in his like he said he'll probably see me more times, like his family's all here. Well, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1:I'm saying He's seen me once a year, i mean when you grow up in an area and then you come back. You got a lot of stuff you got to do.
Speaker 2:Right, i hope he listens and hears that we name. drop him, though.
Speaker 1:I think he'll appreciate it.
Speaker 2:I think he'll appreciate it. I know he probably listens to it sometimes. What are we watching? The Pirates vs Who Is that?
Speaker 1:the Dodgers. It's The Pirates vs The Dodgers. I actually forgot what I was doing first, i think, because I'm really high, and that was a hell of a shot down the line.
Speaker 2:Ooh, it was, And that was fair right.
Speaker 1:Yep fair ball. Fair ball No outs, so they're going to make a run for it.
Speaker 2:That was nice. That was nice.
Speaker 1:I'll give you an update if the Pirate score, but for now Yeah, yeah, i think that's all for our week-ends, right Yeah?
Speaker 2:I think we can jump into Today in History, and we're recording this on July 4th, so that's our special segment And, like we said, last week we started the new segment which was the Today in History. And, guys, we really want to hear from you, like, if you like this, like we would be totally down with doing this every single day, just giving Daniel like a free, like six-minute rain, and then I can just kind of be in the background and be your guys' voice. That's like what does that even mean? or whatever you know. But, yeah, please reach out to us and tell us if you like this, because we like doing it.
Speaker 1:So Today in History July 4th, can you guess? 1776, the Declaration of Independence is adopted.
Speaker 2:What does adopted mean? What do you mean adopted Like? they all signed it.
Speaker 1:It means delegates at the Continental Congress formally adopt the Declaration of Independence. The delegates had voted to approve the motion of independence from Great Britain two days earlier, on July 2nd, and most would not actually sign the document until August 2nd. Nevertheless, july 4th is celebrated as Independence Day in the United States, and all I want to say is I hope you had fun at work today, england.
Speaker 2:You want to hear something real fucked up about that. What I was at work today, all day. Do you want to know who I took care of today?
Speaker 1:Oh, I had to day off.
Speaker 2:Do you know how I took care of today A lot of British?
Speaker 1:people.
Speaker 2:A lot of British people. Yeah, like at least three different British tables And hey, i was waiting for one of them to order tea and I was going to flip the fucking table. Just fucking flip it over.
Speaker 1:Just some hot tea.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, Wolkie, you know the whole tea into the harbor shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So what's the next one?
Speaker 1:The next one is 1826,. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams die. Do they die?
Speaker 2:like shooting each other in like a duel.
Speaker 1:No no, listen, it's actually kind of I don't want to say funny, but ironic, ironic. Founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams die within hours of each other. Adams, the United States second president, and Jefferson, the nation's third, had each played a crucial role in the country's path to independence, though they'd had a political falling out. The two men reconciled after their respective presidencies, and Adams' last words were Thomas Jefferson still survives, though unbeknownst to him. Jefferson had already died.
Speaker 2:Damn, he was like damn it, dude.
Speaker 1:Damn OK. And then in 1857, the dead rabbits and the Bowery boys rioted in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 2:Time out before you start going on? Is that from Gangs of New York?
Speaker 1:Well, I think Gangs of New York is from this.
Speaker 2:Right, that's what I'm saying. Like the movie, yes.
Speaker 1:The infamous gangs known as the dead rabbits and the Bowery boys fight in New York City as depicted in Gangs of New York. Ok, let me get that. The dead rabbits were an Irish immigrant gang, whereas the Bowery boys consisted of anti-immigrant Americans. They came into blows over a plot of land called Paradise Square And the subsequent riot had to be quelled by the New.
Speaker 2:York state militia. Bro, that was literally the movie. Do you remember that movie? It was a great movie. Bro, that like what was his name? like Daniel Day Lewis. That was like one of his first movies coming back bro, And that guy is a genius and he barely makes any movies. You know who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:The guy that's Bob Bill the butcher or whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, god, he's so good at that.
Speaker 2:It's creepy.
Speaker 1:It's a terrific movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, man, I want to watch it right now.
Speaker 1:I know I might have to go out there Also 1884, a lot of patriotic stuff happened.
Speaker 2:I mean, i think they're, i think they're pushing that on us.
Speaker 1:France gifts the stat. Well, i mean, they couldn't have pushed the, the founding fathers dying on?
Speaker 2:No, they can't push that, that's that's just ironic.
Speaker 1:Um 1884, france gifts the Statue of Liberty to the United States. France gifts the Statue of Liberty to the United States to commemorate the American French alliance during the American Revolution. In 1865, edward de la Boulle proposed the creation of the statue to honor ideas of freedom and liberty. Sculptor Frederick Auguste Bartholdi drafted an idea for the statue in 1870.
Speaker 2:Time out, time out, time out. I know you're trying to go on, but like I love how when you're going back to the dance.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, you know what?
Speaker 2:I love how, when you try to say the names, you forget how to speak regular English afterwards.
Speaker 1:for the next one, well it's because I'm reading like a French looking name.
Speaker 2:I know that you're like proposed English doesn't have the things over the letters.
Speaker 1:I don't know how to say.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry. You read the Rique, you continue. I think it's funny.
Speaker 1:Fourteen years later, the statue was complete and presented to the American ambassador in Paris. The statue was disassembled and sent to New York City, where it stands in the New York Harbor today.
Speaker 2:Boy, this is going to be bad or good, Oh no.
Speaker 1:Oh, this one, it's the best. It's what we should celebrate today.
Speaker 2:I agree We should celebrate this, except his life, not the opposite.
Speaker 1:Yeah, No this guy is my childhood Bob Ross dies of lymphoma in Florida at the age of 52. In 1995. In 1995, a painter Ross became famous for his television show The Joy of Painting, which premiered in 1983 and ran for 11 consecutive years.
Speaker 2:If you want to say you don't know him, you are insane, because everyone knows the fro and everyone knows the happy little bush. That isn't supposed to be there.
Speaker 1:He is the artistic Bill Nye.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, he makes you feel OK, like he's like oh, we didn't mean to make that bush, but sometimes in life we make happy little accidents.
Speaker 1:And no one Make happy little accidents.
Speaker 2:He didn't say that all the time, yeah, but no one needs to know, they just blend right in with the background and become part of the bigger picture, and they're beautiful too. It's like dude thanks, man, because I got lots of those bushes.
Speaker 1:I got a lot of bushes going on. man, I got a bushy-ass picture over here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, bro, i don't know how to know trees, i know it.
Speaker 1:Actually I'm making a jungle. It's just going to be a big jungle. It's the brush.
Speaker 2:Do you have some machete?
Speaker 1:So that is today in history.
Speaker 2:They were pretty good ones, And now we both want to watch Kings of New York.
Speaker 1:I know because there's like this picture and it's just so. Gangs of people Really.
Speaker 2:Like the way he's bite, like the underbite.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Like he's like do something, do something, lay it on my chin.
Speaker 1:I'm part of the gangs of New York. Yeah, and he's got a cigarette in his hand too, and like there's like people coming out of a window.
Speaker 2:And he doesn't care that the building's on fire. He's started to fire He started it. Yeah, and these kids are looking at him like, but the best part is he's got emo-ass hair And honestly he looks like he could be in that one panic at the disco video.
Speaker 1:I think there's a boob back there too.
Speaker 2:I don't know why, but there's a boob back there, probably because they took her close Some crazy stuff, yeah, so I'm going to go into our first article then.
Speaker 1:All right, start us off.
Speaker 2:Russian man arrested under anti-terror law after he was talking about philosophy of yoga.
Speaker 1:Oh, who arrested him? It was Russia, right, russia, yeah, ok.
Speaker 2:The Yarova. The Yarovaia law includes restrictions on religious groups and followers of non-traditional religions.
Speaker 1:Is yoga a religion? Maybe?
Speaker 2:they view it as one in Russia. I'm not sure. A Russian yoga teacher has been arrested for illegal missionary activity under controversial news law. Yeah, designated to combat terrorism. Dmitry Yugey, that's a fun name.
Speaker 2:There's not a lot to spread love over that Is said to have fallen foul of the country's anti-terror measures, dubbed a Big Brother law by Edward Snowden. While giving a talk about the philosophy of yoga at a St Petersburg Festival, The computer programmer was arrested and charged with alleged conducting of illegal missionary activity, which is an offense under the so-called Yarovaia laws brought in last year.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm not stunned that he was arrested for anything.
Speaker 2:But yoga, bro, you can't like Shut. Well, they probably like a lot of those intense yoga. People are like you have to be one with the universe, like you open up into your mind, into the next consciousness.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's just a mind, stay on. I think I was a religion They don't have, like a.
Speaker 2:It says he was accused, he was accused by fellow festival goer, Neil Nazabulan, of recruiting young people to join his pseudo Hindu. Pseudo Hindu organization. The 44 year old claims He was one thing.
Speaker 1:it has to do with yoga. I think yoga was just kind of like He was a yoga instructor and he was arrested at a yoga event for some shady shit. I don't know that I call it shady.
Speaker 2:He does say he was Russia, does say he follows Hinduism, but he denied that he was trying to convert people. He says I did not name a single religious organization in my speech, nor did I use a single religious book, and I didn't not name a single religious figure apart from Christ and Buddha.
Speaker 1:Let me ask you right now what do you think happens to you? think it gets free?
Speaker 2:He's out right now? Yeah, he's. It said he spent two, two months in prison and got released And he faces a huge fine out of court hearing.
Speaker 1:If I was him, I'm getting the fuck out of Russia, bro.
Speaker 2:I would just go to court and pay the huge fine And then I would leave, because if you leave before then they're going to blacklist you and kill you.
Speaker 1:What are you talking about? I mean, yeah, i'll pay the fine. I'm right, i would go to court.
Speaker 2:But it's saying that the worst that could happen to him in court at this point is a huge fine. So I would go to court, i will get the huge fine, i'll pay that huge fine And then I will go, because in Russia if you try to just dip set, they'll be like you're a real terrorist now.
Speaker 1:How you really are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, now you really are a terrorist. Now we're going to literally like send your head back to like some Hindu temple that has nothing to do with you. Was that a home run?
Speaker 1:You just like two back in. for a moment It was almost a grand slam. Almost does not, but they did get one run, so I told you I would update you if they got around.
Speaker 2:So I think that's all I have for this one though.
Speaker 1:OK, i think I got a pretty interesting one, so it's one of those ones. where can we, can we hit this real quick?
Speaker 2:Yeah, go for it. I just did Cool Cool. What is this is interesting? in which way?
Speaker 1:It's interesting in the title And then you find out that it's not so interesting to the people around there, but it's still kind of interesting to us.
Speaker 2:So we're going to. Are we going to wreck this person?
Speaker 1:Kind of like a cultural thing.
Speaker 2:OK, let's, let's wreck these people.
Speaker 1:All right, so It's in Mexico, mayor Marys, an alligator like reptile, who he calls Princess.
Speaker 2:Girl Like a Japanese thing.
Speaker 1:Oh no, it's in Mexico.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but like a waifu.
Speaker 1:I don't know. It says alligator like reptile. It just looks like a small alligator, like a caiman or something.
Speaker 2:OK, that's weird.
Speaker 1:His name is Victor Hugo Sosa.
Speaker 2:Of course, and we're back.
Speaker 1:Victor Hugo Sosa wed the caiman reptile called Alicia Adriana, as he reenacted an ancestral ritual. Local lore tradition calls the creature the Princess Girl, and the mayor said the pair loved each other. Onlookers clapped and danced in San Pedro, huea Me Lula, a town of indigenous Chantel people in Oaxaca State, southern Mexico, as they entered into Holy Matrimony. Mr Sosa said during the ritual I accept responsibility because we love each other and that is what is important.
Speaker 2:What is? why does he keep saying we love each other?
Speaker 1:I, you know, i don't know, but I would love to know what their stance on gay marriage is.
Speaker 2:Like oh, you can marry a fucking reptile, but you can't marry a dude.
Speaker 1:Right, because he even says I accept responsibility because we love each other. That is what is important. You can't have marriage without love. I yield to marriage with the Princess Girl. It's just so weird to me. So it's marriage between a male and a female caiman has taken place there for 230 years to commemorate the peace between the Chantel and the Huea indigenous group.
Speaker 2:So is he a caiman or something?
Speaker 1:No, so he's the caiman is a caiman, but I think it's a girl. They got in like a princess dress. But they still you see, they still bungee its mouth, ain't?
Speaker 2:no one trusts in that thing, so weird.
Speaker 1:No one fucking trusts that thing.
Speaker 2:That's so weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I guess it's the. It commemorates the union of the two communities And bro, i mean that's kind of cool, like go back up. For some reason. OK, I thought there was two different caimans there, but it's for some reason they still think after 230 years no one's been like yeah, this is kind of silly.
Speaker 2:Like no, it's fine, we'll do it. Yeah, 2023.
Speaker 1:I mean, i feel like. I feel like not only people have to evolve and like animals and things have to.
Speaker 2:I feel like culture, culture has lots of cultures, though, like, unless they're forced to, they don't. they like tradition. Tradition is like cool and not cool, because it's like you're literally honoring people that have been dead for hundreds of years, which I mean I guess it's cool for your culture, but like also like do you really need to marry a caiman? I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like what's the point? How much money did this cost the city?
Speaker 2:I don't know, but they probably have like 30 years of good luck now or some shit 30 years of good luck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i mean why.
Speaker 2:Why else would you eat, Why else would you do that dude?
Speaker 1:I don't know man, i don't know. I just saw it, i thought it was some silly.
Speaker 2:No, it is some silly stuff Like imagine if, like what would, what would be the American equivalent of that?
Speaker 1:Like Well, i didn't. At first, when I saw it, i didn't even see Mexico, i just saw Mayor Mary's alligator like reptile And I thought to myself who the fuck voted for this guy?
Speaker 2:In Florida.
Speaker 1:And that's. I was like where's it from? And I clicked on it So Mexico. And for some reason I wasn't surprised. even before I got to like the culture thing, i was like yeah you're like a mayor would do that just to win. I was like well, did anybody even vote for him?
Speaker 2:You know, i mean in Mexico.
Speaker 1:I know, Was he just kind of put in place Cartel?
Speaker 2:doesn't know. Yeah, exactly. So, is he?
Speaker 1:crazy already. He could have been. I don't know, i don't live in the city.
Speaker 2:Luckily everybody's like kissing its head. It looks like he's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he got all dressed up Fucking weird.
Speaker 2:It looks like he's got band-aids on his. I'm literally being so judgey. I just said weirdo like three times.
Speaker 1:I mean it's a weird thing to do. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:It is. It's a weird thing.
Speaker 1:We're not saying weirdos are bad, we're just saying Like there's that one lady that married a bridge. She made a fucking bridge. She's a weirdo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure She's a weirdo.
Speaker 1:If she heard this, she'd be like I mean, you know, they figured me out. Yeah, i'm a fucking weirdo.
Speaker 2:It's true, i love bridges. Exactly like it turned on by suspension, i mean you have to know when you're weird.
Speaker 1:If nobody else is doing what you're doing, you're weird. It's not a bad thing, but you're weird.
Speaker 2:Well, even if some other people are doing what you're doing, it just depends, like it depends what it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but if nobody's doing it at all, like if you're the only, person.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's like a different bridge in the entire world.
Speaker 1:You're fucking weird if you're the only person that marries a Cayman on Schedule every year.
Speaker 2:Well, aren't? aren't people who are married to bridges called trolls?
Speaker 1:Haha.
Speaker 2:I'm don't trolls like it's super mad if you try to cross a bridge.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know that they're married to me. Even even trolls are smarter than that. This is just my home, bro. What are you talking about? I live under this. I had.
Speaker 2:I had somebody convinced a new person that Steve. L at work used to live in Germany under a bridge, because I was like that man is a troll. He used to live in Germany under a bridge before he lived here. It's the plane to it. He totally did. They're like, i already live in Germany, like he's good for that, yeah, and he was like yeah, He's like. It was like it was really cheap rent.
Speaker 1:It was awesome dude actually just collected money from the government.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this kid literally believed he lived under a fucking bridge. That fits his personality real well yeah, cuz he's such a fucking troll, bag man All right, so back to you, passing the ball back to you. I got to. You want to hear about animals or technology.
Speaker 1:I don't know. It's up to you. You can go animals, cuz I just talked about an alligator.
Speaker 2:All right. So how about this one? Oh, this happened in the UK, or that's where I'm reading this from. Shopper finds a snake inside of a bag of broccoli in Aldi. There's a grandfather who was given a great fright as he opened a bag of broccoli that he purchased from Aldi and a ladder snake was inside. What kind of snake is that? a ladder snake? Yeah, can you look that up real quick? Yeah, it was found in a make-believe snake, a bunch of broccoli, i mean, i can see him.
Speaker 1:He doesn't look. I believe you.
Speaker 2:It doesn't look very large because the broccoli is not, it's non venomous, it's okay Yeah how big are they? They're so small, it looks so small. It was a grandfather, he's 63, was shocked and said he was frightening, so frightening.
Speaker 1:They're in Portugal, spain and France and Italy.
Speaker 2:So that bitch get went far.
Speaker 1:That's wherever his broccoli came from.
Speaker 2:You know that yeah, it says he found the non venomous snake nestled in near the stem. It was pretty frightening. I'm not good with snakes because you're 60, whatever, three or whatever.
Speaker 1:See, and then if I look at its diet, its diet isn't even like broccoli, like it wasn't even eating on my broccoli. This man said it's lucky, i didn't leave.
Speaker 2:It says it's lucky I didn't leave the broccoli out in the kitchen, or it would have been loose in the house. That would have been a huge risk for us, because we have two vulnerable people.
Speaker 1:Oh, goodness, it's non venomous and it's like it doesn't tell me how big it gets, but it doesn't get big. I can see. Oh, it says.
Speaker 2:It says he's been off 60.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's a 63 inches or 47 inches. Average is 47 inches.
Speaker 2:It says that he was offered compensation. Anybody's pushing for more.
Speaker 1:I mean, 47 inches is a pretty big fucking snake. I don't think that one's 47 inches probably not. It was in the broccoli, but Yeah, if I saw 47 inch, they're like we're the.
Speaker 2:The company is like we're investigating this isolated insulin.
Speaker 1:Well, you gotta think it's probably a snake He's never seen before, like I've never heard of a ladder snake and it comes from one of these countries I just said in Europe, and Imagine if the guy's in fucking America This is a snake He's never seen before.
Speaker 2:He's in England. And like you said, it comes from, like Portugal or Spain. Yeah, it doesn't say it's um and It says it's non venomous, but it says it can bite hard.
Speaker 1:I'll bite that bitch back.
Speaker 2:I know, but that's nuts, bro. Imagine open up your food and fucking some sort of reptile pounces out at you.
Speaker 1:Did it jump? it didn't jump at him. No, it didn't jump at him.
Speaker 2:But I'm saying like brother, that could have happened, like it was just chilling in there, like this man. This man did not check his broccoli very well.
Speaker 1:How cool would it have been, if you like, took like a live mouse and put it in the bag and zipped it up.
Speaker 2:My thing is like, bro, you just got a free pet, why are you upset? exactly They're like like how many, how many people do you know can buy a snake for two, 49 or whatever that broccoli?
Speaker 1:The price that?
Speaker 2:yeah, exactly, you can't do that, no that guy, that guy, he, he is pushing for something when really they just gave. It was like the cracker jack box of broccoli, like he just got the prize. No one else gets the prize, just him. Yeah, you gotta tame that thing. Yeah, bro, what's his problem? He should have probably like gone back to the wherever it was from. He probably owns a snake farm now He doesn't know about, just even know. Yeah, bro, it's like the golden ticket, but yeah, i mean, that's pretty much all I got on that one. Do you got any more articles?
Speaker 1:I got one more and I think it is quite interesting.
Speaker 2:Mine's. Mine's probably not as interesting as yours, so should we do mine And then yours? Yeah, we can do that All right. So my last one is the FAA clears California's Cal, a California companies flying car for takeoff.
Speaker 1:I saw that thing. That thing looks pretty futuristic it does.
Speaker 2:It says that the prototype flying car has been cleared for takeoff by the federal aviation Administration and that its model a is the first flying vehicle that can drive on public roads and park like an average car to receive clearance for Flight by the FFA.
Speaker 1:So I'm just curious how you stop something? How do you stop something in midair if it doesn't have like big Rotors, like a helicopter? how do you make it hover like out of traffic? I?
Speaker 2:don't know man, i'm not really quite sure, like I'm not know the science behind it.
Speaker 1:I Mean, it's a good question.
Speaker 2:It's a very good question.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's got to be what one of their biggest issues has been.
Speaker 2:It said that, they said, it said that they it's been in development since 2015 and it was inspired by the technology from back to the future, to the film, the stuff in back to future, to Which also takes place in 2015 Wonder if it was just regular people that you can pre-order this thing Right now. How much It? which it thinks it'll officially hit the market in 2025 and the price tag is three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1:No, sign me up.
Speaker 2:Don't sign you up sign me up.
Speaker 1:300 grand Um wouldn't be super.
Speaker 2:Wouldn't it be super cool if they would just give us one of these Like for the like podcast, like hey, test it out, yeah. Yeah, we'll give you a.
Speaker 1:I Don't know whether I'd feel safe driving something like that bro.
Speaker 2:It says the model a has not yet been certified for public road travel by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. So they really just got the FF FAA, which is like the flight.
Speaker 1:They just got the like permission to actually test it out.
Speaker 2:Well and and it's like by them saying this, then they were allowed legally to fly it in airspace. Yeah, so they got to get like Basically, they need to get Okayed by the highway traffic people. That's like kind of sucky.
Speaker 1:You need to get like two license to drive this thing well, and when I saw that they were talking about how it'll make travel quicker, which I don't know, if you're gonna ride down the roads, how it's gonna make travel quicker, because You still, if I can only go fucking 75 or 80 on the interstate, you can't go 192.
Speaker 2:I think what it's saying is that, like, you will drive when you're in the city, on The the roads, and then when you're driving like, instead of on the interstate, you'll drive just through the air, in the air, in like that 150, fuck that, not touching that thing, why not I would.
Speaker 1:I don't want one.
Speaker 2:It'll link into my narrow link.
Speaker 1:Think it's gonna be. You think it'll be a battery operated, an EV. It's gotta be dude. If they're just inventing it, why would they use gas?
Speaker 2:I mean that would make more sense, right? What gas?
Speaker 1:no, the, the EV, i mean it would but imagine Imagine your battery dying while you're in the air.
Speaker 2:No, it's gotta be. Well, it's gotta have. Like it's probably a hybrid. I'm gonna guess it's a hybrid.
Speaker 1:That'd be bad news hybrid. And it might even need like jet fuel. Yeah, it might be stupid expensive operate that thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't know yet. I'm guessing now. No, i'm saying we don't know yet, like you're right You?
Speaker 1:might pay three hundred thousand dollars for it. I might cost you three hundred thousand dollars to go to travel fucking 50,000 miles right or like should like go to the next state over some shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't know, i don't know. It'd be cool to see it. I can't wait to see it, though. It's definitely gonna be awesome. Definitely worth paying attention to in the future.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the development is cool. I'll wait for that. That's what the model a. I'll wait for the model s.
Speaker 2:The model T, i think, was the one that was like the first good car right, or like the most well-known for Ford, wasn't it the model a or maybe the model F?
Speaker 1:Hold on.
Speaker 2:I thought it was a multi.
Speaker 1:Ford's first car.
Speaker 2:No, not their first car, the one that like caught on, that everyone bought a lot of. I Thought that was the model T, saying the Mustang. What about the popular? So the model T was like the first one staying the pinto. So all those were, but the model T was the one that was, like, most widely available in when people started buying cars. So they did have all the other ones, but You know the model T.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I'm pretty sure that one was the one bro It looks so gangster riding on the street right and the thing is is that, like you, either had horses or that. Yeah, fuck your. Look at how dope that is. Move your horse off the road, bro.
Speaker 2:Yeah, bro, pretty cool, right. The brakes were terrible on those things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's probably scary. Look, it's got a kickstand.
Speaker 2:Let me see click okay. Okay, Got a kickstand. No, dude, that's the engine.
Speaker 1:Crank bro, that's how you start the engine. Looks like it's resting on the ground.
Speaker 2:I know it is, but you crank that thing to get the engine going.
Speaker 1:I should have built a higher up.
Speaker 2:How much does that thing cost, does it say.
Speaker 1:It's sold, of course it is that one's in like terrific shape. It looks amazing bro, yeah, like look at this one that looks super cool. He's like, that's like probably a Ford, that's like that whoever owns that car.
Speaker 2:He bought that car when it was new. That's how old that guy is.
Speaker 1:Harold bag Bag it. He was born in 1920.
Speaker 2:He literally bought that car when it was new. In 1923 is when that car came out.
Speaker 1:It's my first forward. You're going to drive in a model T which you drove around the farm when he was 10 years old. That's a nice fucking looking model T. Jesus bro, it's a gold one, what I.
Speaker 2:Look super sick.
Speaker 1:These are probably really expensive, right? A model T ambulance. Was that a real thing?
Speaker 2:I'm sure they had these amulances and shit. I mean, if that was like the only car, yeah, why wouldn't they?
Speaker 1:like the patty wagon. Okay, we gotta get off this No we don't, you didn't?
Speaker 2:you just like you're learning new things, but it's okay.
Speaker 1:There's a bunch of them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, bro, i'm told you it was the most widely used car when it came out. Was there a war? did they use?
Speaker 1:this in war, i mean probably like world war one.
Speaker 2:I think jeep, jeep. Whenever jeep was invented, jeep was used for war, i think more. That's a bus that's how jeep was invented. No, that's just. Someone just made that read did that? that makes it look cool. That's all they did. You got to think, though everyone probably custom of their cars like back then you know, i mean as much as they could. it's not like you had freaking Aftermarket parts, yeah, but then but back then you also had people that like couldn't make something out of, like a tree.
Speaker 1:I mean, nowadays people can too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but back then people were better at it.
Speaker 1:I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 2:Look at this.
Speaker 1:Can it really do that?
Speaker 2:I don't know, they probably just parked it up on there park it like that shit, like just like just to take the picture, yeah.
Speaker 1:My car can't do that. Look at the suspension. My truck might. No, my truck might tip, it might roll.
Speaker 2:I mean, look at the thing suspension. It's crazy. It's like bicycle You got a, you got another one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got the best one one more in the chamber. one more in the chamber, all right, so this one The article is actually from Wednesday, the 28th, so that is when the law that I'm about to refer to went into effect when, what year? Wednesday, the 28th this year just.
Speaker 1:Wednesday, like last Wednesday, every person in South Korea suddenly became at least a year younger after a law change. A Whole year younger, a whole year younger. It follows new laws requiring the use of the internationally recognized way of counting age. Taking effect on Wednesday, it replaces one of the country's two traditional methods where people are deemed to be a year old at birth, taking into account time spent in the womb. The Korean age system also sees people aging up by a year on January 1st every year, instead of on their actual birthday. This means Someone born on New Year's Eve would turn two years old on New Year's Day.
Speaker 2:That's weird what.
Speaker 1:Like they just age two years, like a one day, like imagine having a kid born on New Year's Eve and it's just two the next day.
Speaker 2:That's a weird, that's weird.
Speaker 1:That's, that's flawed.
Speaker 2:That's super flawed. They're like okay, So he's ready for school in a year or two. You're like on what? Exactly You're like your kid's special because he's behind the curve, because he's already three and he's like, no, my kid's one.
Speaker 1:The other traditional method, or counting age, considers a person zero at birth, but their age goes up a year every January 1st. The method means someone born on New Year's Eve would turn one on.
Speaker 2:New Year's Day. So they still got that flawed system where but they just change it from one to zero.
Speaker 1:Exactly So. People will be born at zero now.
Speaker 2:Which is the way, nobody's gonna.
Speaker 1:I mean, they probably still celebrate their birthdays, but nobody's age changes on their birthday. Their age changes on the first.
Speaker 2:That's some silly shit Yeah. That's uh that's some real weird stuff, man. My korean age.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can figure out how old you are in korean, which I think it would just be two years older, right?
Speaker 2:You just add one years, what it's a minute.
Speaker 1:Yeah, at least one.
Speaker 2:That's so weird, dude.
Speaker 1:That's crazy. I never knew that bro.
Speaker 2:I mean, is just other cultures do different things?
Speaker 1:So now my question is These players that are coming over here for the little league world series They're actually younger, yeah, they're like 13 Instead of 15 or whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i actually 12, 14.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so if they win it's, it's more magnificent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just Does whatever win.
Speaker 1:I don't.
Speaker 2:I feel like I've seen them in and when they're in it You're like bro, you're literally playing against kids three years. I didn't know that before. I mean now we do. Yeah, now when we watch these korean kids, we're gonna be like go, if I ever meet a korean person.
Speaker 1:I'm just gonna be like bro. I know you're not as old as you say you're lying.
Speaker 2:Yeah Yeah, you're older than that, or you're younger than that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're younger than that. Yeah, stop lying to me.
Speaker 2:I was born on December 31st. Oh, so you're two years younger.
Speaker 1:Get the fuck out of here I go. What That's blew my mind. So now I want to just research and see what.
Speaker 2:Imagine, imagine like things are for all the countries. The first day of your child's like Being alive, you take him to the doctor, like after, like a week later, and they're like so is your kid talking yet Is he eating? because he's already too exactly.
Speaker 1:I'm like dude He was born yesterday. Go fuck yourself. He's right on pace.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's not two years old, he's two days old.
Speaker 1:Exactly like for us. We're like oh, our kid usually starts talking to, like, you know, two years old, or starts, you know, saying Putting words together at two years old. For them, it's three, you know. So I mean, if we were to do studies on the two, if you don't take that into account or know that, then immediately they're slower than us, right, which isn't true. So that's crazy.
Speaker 2:That's crazy, it's so insane to think about that.
Speaker 1:I thought age was, age was. I thought everyone agreed that when you're born, you're zero.
Speaker 2:Most people agree on like that weird whatever calendar that we all use. That I think was started by some Greek dude or some shit.
Speaker 1:What, and is it an age calendar?
Speaker 2:No, the calendar of like how things go on. So that's the where things get. Weird is that Asian calendars, like they're different Asian countries, they have different like starts to their time than us.
Speaker 1:Like we go off of like before, like how the Chinese New Year starts on like a different day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they like, they're like, oh, it's not the year 2023.
Speaker 1:you know to them, Yeah so they really go by that though.
Speaker 2:What do you mean? Like if they were a student in school.
Speaker 1:Would they write that on their paper?
Speaker 2:I don't think so. I think in their school look, look up what year it is in China. If it says 2023, i'm just an idiot, but I'm pretty sure that they go by a different year and everything. It's all caps.
Speaker 1:It's Wednesday, july 5th 2023.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's just Google, is the Chinese year 4719. Go down there, you see it.
Speaker 1:It says on February 1st 2022, the Asian community will celebrate the lunar new year 4720 on Chinese calendars. Which is the year of the tiger. The tiger is the third animal of the Chinese zodiac.
Speaker 2:So like, maybe they do like say oh, 2023, but like they still like, they're like, oh, it's really 4720. You know, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're pretty far ahead of us.
Speaker 2:I mean, they've been around forever. That's the problem with China.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean like, wasn't it like made like before and after Christ? I mean, why would they take it? take that into account. Um they probably resented that and was just like you know, what we're gonna keep counting like this.
Speaker 2:I heard Neil deGrasse Tyson and I can't quote it right because I'm not going to, but he quoted like why he still says before Christ and in of Domini or whatever it is, and it's like because it's literally has something to do with science and why we respect science. So I don't know, like maybe the Chinese people don't like it, but he is not a religious person and he says he still says it.
Speaker 1:so Yeah, well, most countries are based on religion. So yeah, i mean I get that 100%.
Speaker 2:I don't really know how to go off religion. if we're gonna be talking about religion and like they, No, no, i'm just saying like country.
Speaker 1:A lot of countries are based off of religion, so I feel like that might be a reason why China.
Speaker 2:Right. I don't think that every year, though, or every um Asian country does, like the lunar year. what have you? Yeah, so like Mongolia. Is Mongolia even a country? Mongolia is still a country. yeah, there's still a country.
Speaker 1:So rocking over there. Um, and if they're not a country, they're like a part of like I feel, like I've just never seen like a Mongolia soccer team, or I mean they might be part of Mongolia, they might be, they might have been like absorbed by, like China or Russia, but like they're still like consider themselves like their own, like sub thing, you know. Yeah, i think they should do more. they should get out more, venture, more Do more I want to see more from Mongolia.
Speaker 2:Well, the last time that they teamed up and did some stuff that did some really, really horrific damage to the world.
Speaker 1:so Yeah, well, they got some terrific barbecue.
Speaker 2:And they they also um. I would love some Mongolian barbecue That that venture that they had where they took over the world made it so. like what? like 10% of the world's all related through one dude, i think it's higher than that.
Speaker 1:I think it's much higher. Like 30% Yeah.
Speaker 2:What a? what a guy? What a?
Speaker 1:gangster Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't want to say gangster, but definitely guy.
Speaker 1:Bro, i mean, come on this guy.
Speaker 2:Okay, imagine I'm not romanticizing the word gangster, but yes, what a gangster I'm just.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying imagine taking over pretty much the whole world before cars, before planes, before any of that. With horses and swords.
Speaker 2:In anger.
Speaker 1:Yeah, with horses and fucking swords, saddam or not Saddam Hussein? I'm sorry, saddam Hussein would have done it if fucking he was capable, but Hitler fucking tried it with armies, guns, fucking by surprise and shit. Well, this dude just fucking rode a horse into your land and, from what I understand, he was very fair If you wanted to be a slave you could be a slave That's not ready to die. You're gonna fucking get smote.
Speaker 2:That's it. That's it though.
Speaker 1:That's it, two options, i mean. I mean you had the chance to fight too, obviously. I mean he wasn't gonna drop a nuke on your town. There was no. there was no like oh maybe he's gonna bring his Apache helicopter by.
Speaker 2:You know he was the first case of chemical warfare in the history of the world right.
Speaker 1:What did he do He?
Speaker 2:made it to Europe where there was like castles and oh yeah, i remember when he launched dead bodies into the castles. He gave them the black play. Yeah, dude, but I mean, like he's the reason why the black pig got spread through Europe, it's fucking smart.
Speaker 1:It's not like he was poisoned in the water. It's not that he didn't like hurt nature and he's like take these dead bodies, they're sick. Exactly just. I mean, dude, i can't, you can't discredit Genghis Khan for being the greatest warrior in the history of the world.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 1:Like the greatest war leader ever.
Speaker 2:I honestly think so, if this is gonna sound disgusting because I hate Hitler so much, but they say that if Hitler didn't try to fight two wars, like the war on two fronts at the same time, he could have probably won.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hitler was really fucking smart dude, and then we could be having a conversation where oh.
Speaker 2:Hitler was the greatest of all his times, and that's how everyone would sound here, because he would be in in sides of America's Yeah and, but, yeah. but I'm glad that that didn't happen. I'm glad he was like a little too cocky. I thought he could do it all.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i mean he ended up having to smoke himself.
Speaker 2:I don't think he really smoked himself. Well.
Speaker 1:I mean we think, everyone thinks that, but I would have smoked myself if I was him in his career. I mean, would you really want to risk being caught? I think that I made how slow would your death be?
Speaker 2:I think that he smoked. He made someone who, like, because he had decoys that had similar, that he literally made their teeth the same as his. I think he made one of those. he smoked. one of those people burned their body, got in a U-boat or whatever, like one of the subs, and just went over to Brazil or wherever the fuck that place was in South America, argentina, and he's just still rocking Well, because when you go to Argentina or wherever, you know that not him now he's probably dead, but like when you go there, there's like these little sex of German towns where they're like oh highs, oh yeah, yeah, i know they're.
Speaker 1:they found like a lot of fucking like Nazi doctors hiding out in those towns and stuff.
Speaker 2:Bruh, come on man.
Speaker 1:I'm saying though Hitler's, like you'd notice, hitler.
Speaker 2:If he shaved off his all of his hair on his head?
Speaker 1:Fucking hit. It's Hitler. It's Hitler, i don't know it's Hitler.
Speaker 2:He looked like Charlie Chaplin. If he would have got rid of that mustache or grew a beard, he wouldn't look like that. I mean, okay, i agree with you. I don't really want to end on the Hitler.
Speaker 1:So I mean, i got no more articles then though.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, you have anything else to talk about? like you want to go back to the whole Genghis Khan, because I'd rather end on Genghis Khan than him.
Speaker 1:Genghis Khan.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i'd rather just say Genghis Khan, genghis Khan, genghis Khan.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i mean yeah, make it clear, talk about Genghis Khan. I don't really have much.
Speaker 2:I don't really have much more. I mean he's super awesome. By the way, i remember I gave you when you were sick in the hospital, i gave you that book. That was like the.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, see, exactly, it was like the greatest warrior book.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's how you like. learned a bunch about him, yeah. He's just fuck because he's. It was like the mental war philosophies of.
Speaker 1:Genghis Khan, i told you dude.
Speaker 2:Super G. So yeah, guys, i think that's all we got for this episode of the weekend rundown. Like I said before, let us know if you like that new segment, because we want to hear from you guys and we'd like to do more of it, and if you like it, we'll try to post it more, more times in a row, like multiple times, try to make it a daily thing? Yeah, maybe like three times a week, yeah, but thanks for tuning in for this episode of the weekend rundown. I've been your host, drew.
Speaker 1:And I'm your host, daniel, and we appreciate you joining us for another episode of the weekend rundown and we'll see you next week.
Speaker 2:Have a good one, guys.
