One, two, three, four. Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of the Weekend Rundown. This is your host, daniel.
Speaker 2:And I'm your host, Drew. We're just glad to have you back for another episode. We're just going to kind of really jump right into the very first little segment here with Daniel. It'll be August 16th. Past moments reported presently Daniel, so go ahead.
Speaker 1:Alright. So August 16th 1858. We got. The first transatlantic telegraph was sent. Queen Victoria sent the world's first transatlantic telegraph. Congratulations United States President James Buchanan on the success of Britain and the US at building the new telegraph cable. The new ability to quickly send and receive information across the Atlantic Ocean would be revolutionary for news, business and trade. Unfortunately, the new cable stopped working after just a few weeks and it would be eight years before there was consistent overseas communication via telegraph.
Speaker 2:So just for eight weeks they're like oh yeah, this is flipping awesome you think anyone in that room like imagined social media that was social media.
Speaker 1:They're like oh, heck, yeah, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 2:The queen's just like, hey, what's up, just had some tea. What are you doing?
Speaker 1:Was it instant where telegraph was telegram instant?
Speaker 2:I don't know if it was instant, but it was like if you could tell someone in an hour. You know what I'm saying. This was great yeah.
Speaker 1:Alright, so then the next one we have is in 1896, they discovered gold in the Yukon territory.
Speaker 2:And then they went in, gave it some freedom.
Speaker 1:George Carmac spots gold nuggets near the Klondike River in the Yukon territory of Canada, sparking the Klondike gold rush.
Speaker 2:Love those fricking bars.
Speaker 1:Carmac was. Is it spelled with a K? Yeah, it is. Carmac was reportedly camping near Rabbit Creek when he saw a chunk of gold jutting out from the bank. Can you imagine just camping and you're like oh hey, there's just some gold over there I feel like all the good gold is taken, like all the top gold. Yeah, you mean this?
Speaker 2:stuff that's just like on the surface. You don't find top gold I mean you don't know because, like there's so much snow in like Russia and like Canada, you don't know. Yeah man.
Speaker 1:top gold, though it's hard to find Top gold. Sorry, though the men who were with him claimed Carmac's brother-in-law, skookum Jim actually made the discovery, but then he killed Skookum. Over the next three years, 100,000 prospectors would arrive in the region to mine for gold. See, 100,000 prospectors found a little piece. They found one piece of gold and 100,000 people came there to just ravage the top gold. Wouldn't you have done that? Yeah, but I'm saying so, if you, if somebody's found one little piece, the entire area has been just swiped.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I'm not disagreeing with you.
Speaker 1:It's rough.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely in that area, for sure.
Speaker 1:I feel like we were just born at a time where we don't get top gold. No, we're bottom gold guys, maybe mid gold.
Speaker 2:Mid gold. Let's hope we're not all the way at the bottom, exactly 1958, Madonna was born. Oh hey, nice.
Speaker 1:Madonna, the queen of pop, is born Madonna Luis Sissioni in Bay City, Michigan. The singer dropped out of college and moved to New York City to pursue a career in dance, and five years later she released her debut album, Sky Rocketing Her Defame.
Speaker 2:And we all know what happened.
Speaker 1:Today, madonna is the best selling female music artist of all time, with more than 300 million records sold around the world. She's also the highest grossing solo touring artist of all time.
Speaker 2:That's probably. I feel like Taylor Swift is going to beat that. You think she'll beat it? I feel like Taylor Swift will beat it as long as Taylor Swift stays alive. Dude, they have literally she has Swifties and their dudes, sometimes like there's no Madonna.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, there's people of all shapes sizes. Yeah, man.
Speaker 2:If the rock loves Taylor Swift like I'm sorry, madonna, you're going to get dethroned eventually, as long as Taylor Swift stays romantically alive.
Speaker 1:The population is just higher, there's more opportunity for fans, exactly. Okay, 1977, Elvis Presley dies.
Speaker 2:Oh, a lot of grandmas just got upset.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was only 42. The king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, died at 42 inside his Memphis Tennessee home. He'd been scheduled to fly out to begin another tour that very evening, but his fiance, Ginger Alden, found him unresponsive in the on the bathroom floor, and autopsy performed the same day showed that Elvis died of a heart attack likely brought on by his addiction to opiates. I mean it'll do it. Opiates took another one. You know, I saw a study that actually said scientists found links that show marijuana is linked to. What are you?
Speaker 2:about to say.
Speaker 1:I I guess decreased use of opiates.
Speaker 2:Oh sweet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like, like the opposite of a gateway drug.
Speaker 2:It's like it like makes you want to not do it.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:And it makes a lot of sense because, like I mean, I'm pretty judgy for people who.
Speaker 1:I mean, now that I'm an adult, I see all these things that my parents told me and I'm like that was a lie. That was a lie. You know what I'm saying. Like I saw a study the other day. It said you can stand as close as you want to a TV.
Speaker 2:And oh, but TVs are different now than they were then.
Speaker 1:You can stand as close as you want to a TV and it will never affect your eyes, Like it will never make you. I mean, it might hurt your eyes and like make you be like, oh, like make them like a little light. Strain on and it will never affect it, but it will never change them, make you near sighted, far sighted, cross-eyed or anything like that, yeah, but you gotta also think like the information is always changing.
Speaker 2:So, like our parents thought they were telling us the truth, but they were lied to too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they had no, but they didn't ask questions.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Did they ask where the study is? Cause there was no study clearly.
Speaker 2:Right, we're asking questions out here. You just said that we don't believe you.
Speaker 1:Exactly yeah, they just took the words for it. You know? I mean 2018, Aretha Franklin dies.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So the crazy thing is, I'm actually I'm going to let you, I'm going to let you say this, and then I'm going to say something.
Speaker 1:Well, I just looked at this, and so, on this day, the queen of pop was born, the king of rock and roll died and the Queen of Soul died.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it was in Michigan, right when she died. Yes, detroit. You know how? I know that how? Because when I used to work at Guardian Alarm, um, we had her like alarm system, like a CCTV that we monitored of her home.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's fucking crazy. Did you ever monitor it?
Speaker 2:I saw it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I watch it. It was a nice house. Her house is dope. I was gonna say ahead of you Nice, no, it's a read the Franklin right.
Speaker 2:No, dude, no way it looked like. It looked like a dope-ass Hollywood home. But like Detroit, it was not what you would expect. Yeah, like big bay windows and shit suck. Where do you live? You have to a big-ass fucking house. That's like real nice.
Speaker 1:And it was in Detroit City Limits. I Think it was I mean it says, she died in Detroit, michigan.
Speaker 2:I think it is in the city limits, I think it was says.
Speaker 1:She remains beloved around the world to this day, known for hit songs like respect and you make me feel like a natural woman. Three days before Franklin's death, the media caught wind and she was that she was seriously ill. Other artists like Stevie Wonder and Jesse Jackson all visited her while she was rested at home Before passing away at the age of 76 from pancreatic cancer. Damn Rolling Stone has called her the greatest singer of her generation fucking pancreatic cancer 76.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm gonna see how she did it, she did the thing. I mean, this is a pretty brutal day in history.
Speaker 1:I mean, except for Madonna's birth. She was born.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's still pretty brutal.
Speaker 1:And people found gold.
Speaker 2:Somebody got top gold today top gold and over over 127 years ago and social media was born, the first step in social media.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean granted, it broke down a couple weeks later. Sounds like the internet in the beginning, for sure you know, Definitely sounds like the internet and your internet would break as soon as somebody picked up the phone, just like me. Actually I think the internet ruled over the phone, didn't it? Like you, couldn't you go to use the phone and you just get a dial Tone from the internet.
Speaker 2:No, it would be like if you, they'd be like get off the fucking AOL. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to use the phone. I want to call your grandmother. I would like kick you off. You'd be like on a call and somebody would just load it up and you just click. And you just start hearing that. I can't even imagine how angry dad would have got if he was on a phone crap and we dialed that shit up. We beat, we beat. I Can't even imagine I would get mad about that shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, he would have been pissed.
Speaker 1:He'd have been beyond. Before you use the computer ever.
Speaker 2:We asked dad before we breathed in that house.
Speaker 1:I feel like.
Speaker 2:It was a. It was just smart strategy. If you're doing anything in his vicinity or that affected him and you didn't ask him, you're running a risk, big risk. Yeah you got any more for this day, or is that it?
Speaker 1:I think that's all I have for this day in history.
Speaker 2:Nice, nice, nice. So how's your weekend, man? You do anything, you just work up a bunch. It was a special day for you, was it not?
Speaker 1:I had a birthday, yeah how was that?
Speaker 2:Would you do?
Speaker 1:it's pretty good. I didn't do a whole lot.
Speaker 2:I just kind of relaxed live your regular life and just relaxed yeah.
Speaker 1:I got a couple gifts from the wife and the kids and Got some blue moon ice cream. That was good.
Speaker 2:Is it like alcoholic?
Speaker 1:No. It's just really good ice cream.
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought it was like blue moon beer. No it's like blue moon flavored ice cream. Okay well, that's cool, that's awesome. Anything else.
Speaker 1:Do anything else. Coo-deo. I went to the raise game. Yeah, who won the raise? One in the ninth nice came back. Yeah, it was. I Went with the buddy of mine who was actually rooting for Cleveland.
Speaker 2:So he was pissed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was super sweet.
Speaker 2:That's the best burp that he says it was like so much better than Like cuz.
Speaker 1:I told him to go there and root for the reason. He was like no, I can't turn my back on my team, even though I'm a raised fan too. I'm a Cleveland fan first and I was like alright man, and Cleveland was winning the whole game and then, bottom of the ninth the race, put up four runs to win it and I was just like your team sucks. Look how ugly you looking at gear.
Speaker 2:You think I told? I told you not to wear this look like a loser.

Speaker 1:You're digging the Austin idea, huh.
Speaker 2:I mean what? If you want to do something, why not move to where everyone who's doing it is doing?
Speaker 1:it Okay, I feel you I'm not against it.
Speaker 2:It's like if you want to be the best lawn maintenance guy ever, come to Florida, you know you be cleans and pools too. Yeah, exactly, you want to be in comedy, go to Austin, because there's like a million, not a million, comedy clubs. But when I looked it up there was like 12 or 14 comedy clubs, you know, and that's not including the underground comedy shows and all that stuff.
Speaker 1:So so what you're saying is Austin is the funniest city in the country.
Speaker 2:I think right now it is Okay, all right. I think there's like less Rules, like in LA, in New York. You know how those people are all what does that mean? You mean for comedians, yeah like on stage, like you don't have to be as PC in that town. Does that make? Sense I always say like people won't ostracize you if you Make a joke about a gay person. Like it's just just, they're all jokes. They're all fucking jokes, you know? Like would not none of it serious? And like whatever, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I Gotcha. That's all I'm trying to say sounds like a good environment to tell jokes in.
Speaker 2:I think so Is the case, and learn and like there's a lot of other higher-up comedians. It's not just like all a bunch of people trying to make it, you know that's yeah, yeah so it is what is just excited to go there and be there, and feel it, when is? That when you taking that trip. I'm going the 17th through the 20th. It's just like a little quick one, but I chose the day where it's like this month, next month, september.
Speaker 2:Oh September and I chose like a time where, like Joe Rogan's like spot, the comedy mother ship has two open mics, so I'll try to get to sign up for two. No, I wouldn't be on the Rogan podcast, I'd be performing in his club like I still at his open mic. Yeah, I don't know that He'd be there, but I don't care. Whatever?

Speaker 2:Okay, all right.
Speaker 1:All right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that sounds like a great plan, right? Do you want to go into the articles?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think you should go first, cuz I'm gonna start with this.
Speaker 2:It's it's weird one. It says this boy was scolded for not doing his homework. So we went to the police station and begged to be put in an orphanage.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's the way Children's minds are working like now, for sure my daughter told me my I'm told my wife. My wife said she was gonna. Give her a spanking or something like that, and my daughter said, no, you won't. And she said, uh-huh, yes, I will. And my daughter said, no, you won't, cuz I'll go call the police and you'll go to jail and like Do you know how to use a phone? We only have cell phones. They're all in our pockets. There's no home phone here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, are you gonna call her on your fucking Elmo phone? Exactly, you're gonna do like.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't know, like, just just to think that, like.
Speaker 2:I mean, you can't even discipline me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's. It's like it wasn't even the action of being spanked. It was just the threat that my parents put forth to me of like I will spank you. That put a fear in me, and it's just removed from children today right.
Speaker 2:I think I remember one time, like Eric or me or someone told that when he's like I'm gonna spank you, we were like we're gonna call CPS and he said that I'm gonna give you a reason to call him and we were like Exactly. I remember that and we did not call them and our ass hurt really bad.
Speaker 1:But now it's like man dude, like the world is just so soft all around that, like I Mean, I feel like just telling your kid you're gonna spank them. Cps might come, not hundred off, yeah, I feel like that shouldn't be okay.
Speaker 2:No, it shouldn't be but but you don't even know what you can do and what you can't do as a parent anymore. Like it's terrible you can't.
Speaker 1:It's a thin line of I mean, there's only so much I can do to stop my kid from running away. Right, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:this kid literally, though, argued with his mom about overdue homework. He's 10 years old and it's a Chinese boy, so he just ran away straight to a local police station and started complaining, and begged to be put in an orphanage, it says. Chinese media recently reported a bizarre incident.
Speaker 1:They should have done it. I should have put it in place in.
Speaker 2:Chongqing CCTV. Cctv footage shows the young boy storming into the Hongwei police station in UBI and being approached by two policemen. They started chatting and I feel like you didn't choose this article just because of the names of the places. They started chatting and the 10 year old boy tells them that he had been reprimanded by his mother for not completing his homework. So he left the family and Joined and wanted to join an orphanage. After a bit of convinced Convincing by the officers, the boys, the boy gave them his parents contact info so the police could contact his mother and can confirm that the argument about the overdue homework was true.
Speaker 2:However she never imagined her son would run away to the police station and want to join an orphanage because of it.
Speaker 1:Well, they should have gave him a taste of it.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you, it says China my mom scolded me every day for not doing my homework and the and Left the house. The 10 year old complained she just nags me to study every day and I'd rather go to an orphanage.
Speaker 1:In China, bro, could you imagine an orphanage in China? No, it's probably a dirt floor, it's probably a sweat shop eating cold soup.
Speaker 2:It's probably a sweat shop, that's what I'm exactly.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm guessing. Knitting, knitting nikes by hand. Like it would be awful, let that kid go for a week. Literally yeah, yeah, his homework every fucking day. He would be like mom Would you like to check my homework? Yeah, he would do it every day. He'd be like those poor kids.
Speaker 2:After calm on the boy down, the police called his father to pick him up and, even though he was reluctant to return home, they managed to persuade him that it was the right choice. Much better than going to an orphan. See, that's the problem right there.
Speaker 1:Why do you have to persuade this kid? Why can't the dad just show up, grab the kid by the damn arm and just be like dude.
Speaker 2:Get in the car, that's exactly what you said it said. The news and CCTV footage went viral and a lot of people were shocked, and some people saw it as a sign of the lazy generation of spoiled children. Well, others simply applauded the way the police Calmed the boy down and ultimately solved the problem. Those are the soft people.
Speaker 1:Cool with calming the kid down. I'm not saying like, like you need to talk to him. You need to explain to him what's going on. I'm a firm believer and kids are much more, have much more going on in their mind than you think you know. They understand a lot more and you can talk to them a lot more than you think you probably could. But there's a line and a parent is a parent and you need to show them that, hey, this is my home and I'm taking care of you, that every, every decision I'm making is in your best interest.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like, just because, like you don't like what's happening right now, doesn't mean that like it's not because I'm trying to Be taking care of you, exactly like I'm trying to Protect.
Speaker 1:Your best interest is not here. Are you in with these police officers? It's in your room finishing your damn homework.
Speaker 2:Get over here the reason why I'm fucking under your ass is because it's over. Do all the time. If you just fucking do it. I would never say a word about it. Yeah, man.
Speaker 1:I'm I don't know I. I don't think that people need to be hard on kids, but I think that sometimes kids need people to be hard on.
Speaker 2:I think so that makes sense. Kids like here. Here's the deal. If a kid wants to have an attitude and wants to think he knows better, that's when you need to be hard on the kid. It's whenever he wants to be an adult or whatever. You want to act like an adult, that's when I need to tell you know, you're not a fucking adult. You don't know what you're talking about like what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 1:What do I do when my my son's 16? He's bigger than me and he just sticks me in my mouth?
Speaker 2:What do you do? All you can do in that point is that, like you know, fighting better than him to where you hopefully can see it coming, to, where you can like Kind of glance the blow away and then get him in a chokehold and like use your old man strength because it's gonna go out soon and that give him the fear of God in that exact moment.
Speaker 1:That's. I'm just saying like I never would have thought of doing that to my, to my dad, but in my kids minds I got to be such a bitch, you know.
Speaker 2:Like the second, like because you won't. Like you said you won't hit him, and then like, ultimately, mom has more power than you or whatever. And then mom like says I'll spank you, and they're like no, you won't, we'll call the cops. So like both you.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, they're definitely she'll be like I'm gonna get your dad. No, they'll get worried, but it's just my voice that they're worried about, and my youngest. He doesn't care what I laughs. He laughs in my face. I'll have veins popping out of my neck and he will just Just keep pushing my buttons.
Speaker 2:He's like you're gonna punch me in the face.
Speaker 1:I'm like man, I swear. I'm just gonna give you so many. No use kid.
Speaker 2:I am literally like when you're getting beat up by other people and I'm supposed to help you. I'm gonna wait an extra 10 seconds.
Speaker 1:Yeah, get off my son, get off my son man.
Speaker 2:Hey, you better get off. I'm walking over there, I'm doing it.
Speaker 1:All right, come on, get off him through. That's my son man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, man, I don't know, I don't have kids, so if my kid was like I want to go to the orphanage instead of do my homework, I go. Do you think that, like, especially in China? Do you think making shoes is better than doing like an orphanage here, like what? I don't even know what that entails? Like, do you think going to old folks homes and singing Christmas carols in the middle of July because you have nothing better to do is better than doing homework? Like, come on, kid. Yeah, no, I don't understand that mindset. Like I hated homework too, but like just do it wrong or fast or half-assed or whatever. And then so when they're like, did you do your homework? Yeah, I fucking did it. It doesn't need to be perfect, like, just kind of try. Just kind of try.
Speaker 2:Put for it's sub-sort of that yeah dude instead of like, and I guarantee this kid isn't, oh, I'm reading. Instead, he's fucking on his computer, on his Xbox, on what the fuck ever gaming system his parents have for him. You know what I'm? Saying so just Take the iPad away and send them the orphanage you're making build the iPad.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying. Man, send them to the orphanage. Let him go. That's what I'm saying too. We're both in agreement here. Maybe, maybe maybe that's.
Speaker 2:maybe that's what we should start doing with our articles, where we should be like do you think this, do you think this? Like, are we in agreement? Are we in disagreement? You know, agreement. We need to get a little noise. I like that we're both in agreement on that, all right, yeah, so do you got an article? Because that one's all done? Yeah.
Speaker 1:I do have an article, but actually I did want to mention one other thing. But I know we don't touch too much on sports and especially baseball, because you don't know much about baseball. But did you hear that? The guy that the raise locked in for a super max contract? He's getting paid a lot of money. He was the number one prospecting baseball. He's maybe been with us for two years. Did you hear anything about him?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, he.
Speaker 2:Oh, is this the guy that, like, did the thing with the care of the 14 year old girl?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there's a 14 year old girl and is that real? He, he posted something on social media. I don't know exactly what it was, but he like dined himself out but like I think this girl is pregnant. Oh, my god, I don't know the full story.
Speaker 2:I get guaranteed money I.
Speaker 1:I Isn't baseball always guaranteed, I don't know. With something like this it might not be, but, um, I don't know the full story and obviously innocent until proven guilty whatever. But I do know that it is ironic that the game they found out they gave the hats away to the 14 and they were giving away hats to the 14 and underkids the day they found out that they're superstar it was, they were wander Franco hats.
Speaker 1:The day that they found out that their superstar, wander Franco, had relations with a 14 year old girl and they ended up benching him and he had to leave the dugout halfway through and then all the kids were so wearing the hats. Yeah, it's fucked super fucked dude.
Speaker 2:Um, I don't know, doesn't really make me want to watch baseball.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it's an isolated incident and it happens in all sports, but um happens everywhere.
Speaker 2:It's just fucked that it was like on the day that they gave the hat to the 14.
Speaker 1:again, he's an athlete that makes a shit ton of money.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying he did or did not do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not saying he did or did not do it.
Speaker 2:I hope he, I hope he didn't do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, obviously we all kind of yeah, that's fucked, so uh, so my actual article.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was like just like a mini article.
Speaker 1:Yep, it's about a woman that suffers a fatal and water intoxication. She must have drank a shit little water. No she drank two liters and 20 minutes.
Speaker 2:That's not even a lot.
Speaker 1:Young pause and dramatic pause two liters and 20 minutes. Yeah two liters and 20 minutes.
Speaker 2:I feel like I drink that much at the gym in 20 minutes.
Speaker 1:So you would have to assume like she has to be older or something she's like 80 right, a 35 year old american woman tragically lost her life while vacationing with her family after drinking two liters of water In a very short time and suffering severe brain inflammation. Lost her fucking life. Ashley summers was celebrating the 4th of july with her family.
Speaker 2:This is made time out. This is made up. Her name is Ashley summers. On the 4th of july she died of water poisoning. This is some shit that you tell a kid in your campfire. Is this real life?
Speaker 1:I love it. Check it.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, like I'm not talking shit, but like the name and like everything I think is it really matching up, bro, like what? I'm holding, I'm holding.
Speaker 1:I mean damn.
Speaker 2:There's a youtube video and like see the lady's face and shit Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, she's an actual person. Oh my god, I haven't found a bad article here yet.
Speaker 2:I know, but I.
Speaker 1:I will admit that. I did not double check this, so you had to be worried for a second.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but didn't it sound a little made up the?
Speaker 1:way, it is like Ashley.
Speaker 2:The 4th of july. But that's a very generic name it is, and I'm very sorry that you passed away Ashley summers.
Speaker 1:No, I'm sorry, we're not making fun of Ashley. I didn't believe that you were real. Um, I didn't believe that you were real because I don't think. I think it would be tough to die from two leaders Of water.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you had to have some kind of underlying health condition. Yeah, you had to miss summers.
Speaker 1:I don't know anyways. Um. So she was celebrating the 4th of july with her family on lake freeman in indiana, um, when she started feeling really dehydrated because of the hot weather, she eventually got a Bad headache and she was drinking a lot of water. She ended up consuming four 16 ounce bottles of water in 20 minutes and although she didn't experience any serious symptoms at the time, she later collapsed inside the garage of her home and never regained consciousness. Doctors told her shocked family that summers had Suffered severe brain inflammation after drinking too much water in a very short period of time. That's so weird. Someone said she drank four bottles of water in that 20 minutes. Devin miller, ashley's grieving brother, told reporters Her bottle of water is like 16 ounces, so that was 64 ounces that she drank in a span of 20 minutes. That's half a gallon. That's what you're supposed to drink in a whole day.
Speaker 2:I thought you drink a gallon day.
Speaker 1:I thought it was too. Yeah, it was a shock to all of us when they first started talking about water toxicity, and it was like this is a thing, he added. According to dr Blake froberg of indiana university health, water toxicity Occurs when someone drinks too much water quickly and they don't have enough sodium in their body. Symptoms usually include muscle cramps and soreness, nausea, headaches and a general feeling of being unwell. Drinking too much water can cause the sodium in your body to become deluded. When this happens, your body's water levels rise and your cells begin to swell. The male clinic explained the warning takeaway that I. The warning takeaway that I take from it is If I'm thirsty and I drink a bottle of water and I still feel like I haven't got enough, that might be the light bulb for me to go Okay, you know what I need to drink a Gatorade. Ashley's brother concluded. I just read that word for word.
Speaker 2:Wow, it was really, really, really really. This Ashley's brother does not speak good english.
Speaker 1:Yeah, from indiana for sure. I don't think they should have printed that.
Speaker 2:I think, okay, can I try? Can I try with indiana accent? Yeah, you can yeah? Yeah, yeah, where's it start? Where's it start? Where's it start? No, no, no, no. Where's he start? Where's?
Speaker 1:he start. He starts from right here to here. Okay, this is all him.
Speaker 2:The warning takeaway that I take from it is If I'm thirsty and I what's it say? And I drink a bottle of water and I still feel like I had enough, there might be a light bulb for me to go. Hmm, you know what? Okay, I need to drink Gatorade.
Speaker 1:Did I do it wrong? Why would you print that?
Speaker 2:Do you feel like he said it exactly?
Speaker 1:Unintelligent you're making me look unintelligent reading this thing.
Speaker 2:Damn, we just sound unintelligent. Yeah, we need to get our video up. We need to get our video up heart in a hardcore way, goodness gracious.
Speaker 1:Yeah okay, so yeah, that one was that one. So you can die from water toxic or water intoxication.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's cuz like we don't know how much a liter is like yeah.
Speaker 1:But I feel like 16 ounce bottles. I drink 20.9.
Speaker 2:I've literally, I've literally chugged like I'm back to that. I've chugged like two of those, like Immediately, like two 16 ounces, like, like if I'm really really thirsty, like chug chug, chug chug.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna try it when I'm tempted.
Speaker 2:Ah, it's not the same as the the. Oh, you can't drink a gallon of milk, you'll throw up it's. Oh, don't drink this much water. You'll die.
Speaker 1:Don't try to do it. Yeah, I'm not saying I was.
Speaker 2:Listen what we're saying out there is don't drink two liters of water in 20.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying if I was to drink like nope, no, we're not gonna get sued.
Speaker 2:We're not doing it. No, we're not getting sued. I'm not telling anybody to do this.
Speaker 1:I'm not telling anybody to do this. I'm not saying I would do this, I wouldn't do this myself.
Speaker 2:But I'm saying if we're gonna drink morning on our ship, if I were to drink two 20 ounce bottles of water at 730.
Speaker 1:And then I turn around and I drink seven 40 more, at 750 that's 20 minutes.
Speaker 2:That's 20 minutes. Why are you trying? Why are you trying?
Speaker 1:You're trying to like, like, push the boundaries of the 20 minute but what I'm saying is they say it happens when your sodium levels are low. So what if no for between seven thirty and seven fifty?
Speaker 2:Okay, you probably fine that lady needs some crackers man.
Speaker 1:You think?
Speaker 2:she probably had low blood sugar and I figure this thing out, I think let's be real, she probably also had low blood sugar because she wasn't eating and she was like oh, I'm. I'm dehydrated. And then when you're not dehydrated, but you have low blood sugar and you need salt on your system, and then you do that, yeah so like like her brother said, you should probably have Gatorade or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, pick up a Gatorade if you're thirsty, jesus Christ.
Speaker 2:I feel he poisoned her I.
Speaker 1:Know someone needs to check the toxicology like like double check.
Speaker 2:That's fucking terrible, so should I go on my next one? Yeah, so I'm gonna keep with the Asian theme. This one is about a Japanese company launches a vertical pods that let you sleep standing up. Of course it's a Japanese company, because they always come up with the best things first and the weirdest things too. It's called the giraffe nap, so I immediately want to buy it. It's a new style of sleeping pod that encourages power Naps, steering the day as a way of improving Concentration and work efficiency. Dude, I've heard about these places in in Japan where you can go in and they're like it's a little bit of me in the middle of like a mall or a train station and you pay and it's like a little tiny Workspace and long like also like it can like turn into like a little nap.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like, if you need.
Speaker 2:You're like oh, I need to get some work done and I'm gonna real busy spot, I'm gonna put my my $10 in here and work for an hour and then sleep for 30 minutes.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's like pay-as-you-go type shit. Yeah, it's nuts, bro, it's like a vending machine office, exactly exactly like.
Speaker 2:You can go in and just use it and like pay a little amount to get like some free Wi-Fi and like power. Or you can pay the premium amount, like be locked off and like sleep in that bitch, so says. Japan is notoriously hard-working country that emphasizes extreme dedication to one's work, even at the cost of that person's health or general well-being. Working conditions can get so bad that the Japanese language actually has a term for death by overwork Keriyoshi oh my goodness.
Speaker 2:In order to put up with this kind of grueling schedule and stress, some Japanese workers turn to short power naps. These are known to boost energy levels and concentration as long as the person does not go into a deep sleep. In Order to make it easier for people to get power naps pretty much anywhere, one company has begun installing vertical sleep pods, called giraffe naps, and cafes all over the country.
Speaker 1:I mean I wouldn't mind power naps that work.
Speaker 2:I mean, but like what? You just gonna stand straight up and down. How do you sleep set? One of the main reasons, giraffe, you don't know how that giraffe nap has a vertical orientation to space.
Speaker 2:It's much easier to have them installed in small cafes and restaurants as they take up very little room, but it's not the only one. Maintaining the stand-up position apparently makes it easier for the person using the pod to wake up from the power nap. I hate this. I hate, I hate this. It shows like this person like seated and then there's like a Like a thing pushing on their shins and their feet are like a certain. I don't like this. Each giraffe nap pod features an alarm system that can be set by the user I would just never said it as well as support points for the various parts of the body head, buttocks, calves and feet to ensure that the user maintains their upright position while napping.
Speaker 1:The pods like move. No, dude, it's so I don't.
Speaker 2:You don't think you move, you don't move. Everything like supports your head and everything. It's so weird, feel too stuck. The pods also feature a height adjustment system so that anyone can achieve the perfect posture while using them. No, not down with this. I don't know why I chose this one. The giraffe nap Sleeping pod currently comes in two variants a plain white model, which feels very futuristic, and the one that mimics a more traditional bamboo design.
Speaker 1:Ooh they both offer.
Speaker 2:I'm interested in great sound insulation, as well as various sound designs to induce sleep and Sounds like a punishment. It kind of looks like. It looks like you give us worse work. You go take nap myself take time out.
Speaker 1:I feel like it would be like a punishment.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, it doesn't look like it says. It's currently being implemented in some coffee shops and If the reception is positive enough, we might see start seeing them in other places.
Speaker 1:I don't think it'll be a long time for something like that catches on in America.
Speaker 2:So the reason it's called giraffe nap is because giraffes, I guess, sleep upright. Their necks most hurt, dude. There's what? There's no way. It refers to the upright sleeping position of the giraffe. No, no, giraffe sleeps upright there. They have to put their necks down. There's no way. I don't believe that part.
Speaker 1:I think they sleep with their necks up. Oh, my fucking god. I think they lay down sometimes, though, but I think they sleep with their necks up.
Speaker 2:How, how their necks never go down.
Speaker 1:I feel like it's to protect them. Oh, I mean, think about it dude fish never stops women.
Speaker 2:Fuck dude, how do they sleep Not?
Speaker 1:everything sleeps, like us. Oh my god, that sounds terrible, like I was looking into it and I think it's dolphins the way they sleep as they shut off Hat like they have some their brains like dichotomy, right, like yeah, I'm shut off half of it, so that they're half aware, and then half of their body is sleeping like the right half, and Then they can only sleep for like 15 minutes and then later, later, they'll switch it and their left half will be asleep while the right half is awake.
Speaker 1:That sounds tear, that sounds fucking Terrible but they don't know sleep like we know sleep. It's like so dope, like he's like half asleep and his buddy comes up and he's like damn, echo, I'm sleeping, bro, you know.
Speaker 2:And he couldn't see this. Like dude, I'm having the craziest dream like that's why dolphins are always so stoked because they're like in outer space For real like every dream is a lucid dream.
Speaker 1:He's like dude, I'm sleeping over here right now. Over here I'm awake, I'm talking to you, but over here, some crazy shits going down man.
Speaker 2:We, literally we just robbed a bank.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it feels so real.
Speaker 2:Jesus, I saw this. I saw this thing of Speaking of animals. It was like a sloth and Like some bird came into its personal space, like landing next to it, and it's the one time I've ever seen a sloth this attack someone and it had like a voiceover and he was like, hey, how dare you, I'm gonna get you Swipe. You caught him. No, well, he like the bird Didn't move, he just caught the bird, though no, the bird was big, he was a big-ass like bird, like the size of the sloth. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:like so a little sloth it was like can't be that big of a burger.
Speaker 2:Grown man it was probably like a sloth. That was like growing up, you know, like like a teenage sloth, but it was like a big-ass parrot, like to where it was. That like it was like the thing came down on, was like like he was scared and he just hit him and the thing looked at him and then he's like I'm coming back for round two and Literally, as it's coming down, the bird took one step back, dude oh my god, it's just like that slowest moving sloth shit.
Speaker 1:That reminds me. I just want to show you this. There's actually a rabbit called the Flemish giant rabbit. Have you ever heard of it? Oh, I literally have this on my phone right now because I looked it up earlier today.
Speaker 2:What is it?
Speaker 1:and I wanted to show it to.
Speaker 2:Everyone, everyone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's a rabbit oh.
Speaker 2:Man, that thing is like the size of a person.
Speaker 1:It's a big fucking rabbit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, that thing is like the size of that, like Ecuadorian man, yeah, like. So, like that guy's not big, but like he's a man, still, still a man.
Speaker 1:I mean, look at it next to that border collie.
Speaker 2:It's bigger than the border collie Like that's like a full-grown you could eat the shit out of that rabbit.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? Tweets rabbits you eat rabbits. Lots of people eat rabbit you. You look at rabbits and think meal.
Speaker 2:I would eat a rabbit in the Apocalypse we just got over this cat.
Speaker 1:Thing.
Speaker 2:I think cats and rabbits are two different things.
Speaker 1:Oh my.
Speaker 2:There's actual. So here's the difference. There's actual rabbit farms. Look it up right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm sure there are. I'm sure there's cat farm somewhere in America. There's rabbit farms in America. Look it up right now rabbit farms in America? I don't believe it.
Speaker 2:Just look at rabbit farm America.
Speaker 1:You. It's a slaughter farm.
Speaker 2:Don't eat, not Abbott, not rabbit breeder, rabbit farmer those are two different things. Was it wasn't a rabbit being a farmer, I.
Speaker 1:Just a guy feeding some rabbits. Nobody slaughters rabbits in the US. I've never been in a store where I could buy rabbit.
Speaker 2:I have an um what's it called Um wildfork Exotic meats?
Speaker 1:Yeah, rabbit farming refers to breeding of rabbits. I fit Is rabbit meat legal in the US Will not produce under food safety and inspection services. Rabbit is subject to FDA inspection. The FDA has a jurisdiction over it. Some states permit the sale of rabbit only if it is inspected under their state laws.
Speaker 2:Backyard meat rabbits are prolific producers.
Speaker 1:In about 12 weeks you'll have a large quantity of healthy lean meat to feed yourself and your family. A trio of rabbits can produce upwards of 600 pounds of meat in a year. They fuck bro. You're just having a baby and letting that baby get to like in a couple weeks 600 pounds of meat in a year, which is more than a dressed one year old steer.
Speaker 2:That's crazy yeah it's a lot of fucking meat. The problem is is that like they dig around and rivet and like fuck your yard up and shit.
Speaker 1:Backyard meat rabbits. This is a real place.
Speaker 2:I told you, dude, you thought I was nuts. You're like, you eat rabbit meat. People eat rabbit meat, man. Raising meat rabbits See A lot of apocalypse, people do it.
Speaker 1:That's crazy, it's a fucking other thing. Yeah, I mean whatever people want to eat, man, I just didn't know it was so.
Speaker 2:Like it was more popular than you thought.
Speaker 1:Like this one's, like this lady looks like she's making friends with it. You can't make friends with what you're about to kill.
Speaker 2:Maybe she's not friends with the ones she's going to kill. Maybe she's friends with the breeder ones. That's like to her. It's like whenever you're friends with the chicken well, it's giving you eggs. I don't know, I just feel like you don't name them. Oh yeah, I definitely don't name them. Do you have another article, one more to go. Oh yeah, we got one more here.
Speaker 1:My last one's a doozy.
Speaker 2:A doozy.
Speaker 1:Yup Sitting mistakenly, tears down man's home and charges him $68,000 in demolition costs.
Speaker 2:It sounds like he's going to sue them and get like $68 million Fuck yeah, unless this is like England. Is this in England? Because if it's in England, he's not getting shit. It's in Atlanta oh, he's getting shit.
Speaker 1:In Atlanta. Man who lost his house after the city tore it down by mistake is now facing a lawsuit to have the entire property foreclosed unless foreclosed on it. We tore the fucking house down. Unless he pays the $68,000 demolition costs, Everett tripodises.
Speaker 2:Oh my. God what a great name.
Speaker 1:In Atlanta's historic West End is now an empty lot, but until a few months ago he actually owned a home there, one that the city demolished without so much as a warning. Technically, they did send out letters notifying the owner that the property had been labeled unfit for habitation, but they sent them to the wrong address in a different zip code, about 1.4 miles away.
Speaker 2:That's fucked up, man.
Speaker 1:Tripodis and his mother had bought the century old house as an investment and had been working on remodeling it when the city decided to tear it down. To make matters worse, the city of Atlanta is now suing the owner of the property and threatening to foreclose on the empty land unless he covers the cost of demolition, which is $68,000.
Speaker 2:So he technically wasn't even living in it. No, and they tried so when they sent it to the wrong house. So they tried to do the right thing by being like you can't live here, but they sent it to a different place. That's their fucking fault. He got no notice and then you're going to sue him for it. No, he should be able to sue the fuck out of them like hey, you owe me a historic home now.
Speaker 1:The demolition order itself gave the city and its contractor authority to demolish a home on a completely different street and a completely different zip code. Tripodis told Channel 2 Action News, adding that the warning letters had gone to another address as well and were returned to sender. It blows my mind how they could have mistakenly sent these to the wrong address. I come meet the contractor one morning and the whole house is gone. Everything is gone, nothing but dirt.
Speaker 2:Dude, that's gotta be like. Could you imagine if you just went to work Like you're like all right honey, like you're taking the kids to go for this thing? With your home and there's nothing yeah you're like gone for the weekend and you come back and it's like nothing in here, and then they come for your savings. Oh my.
Speaker 1:God. The former homeowner filed a claim for damages but the city of Atlanta not only denied to pay, claiming that the city cannot accept responsibility for his matter and therefore cannot pay this claim, but recently filed a lawsuit against him, threatening to foreclose on his property unless he pays the demolition costs. When I saw that came from the city I was quite excited. Tripod is told Seattle too. Maybe it was a letter of apology.
Speaker 2:Maybe it was a check.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Maybe they're going to just justly compensate.
Speaker 2:He thought they were going to just pay you I opened it up and realized that they were suing me.
Speaker 1:After you air the story after everyone sees it, instead of them fixing the problem, they double down and do it again. The man added it's like after the slap comes the spit in the face. I'm just frustrated.
Speaker 2:Just frustrated, bro. They destroyed your house and then they sued you.
Speaker 1:The city is alleging that the property should be sold at public outcry unless one or more of the interested parties tenders the full redemption amount, which consists of the original demolition costs plus interest, which totals over $68,000. Ever Tripod is himself had already sued the city for the wrongful demolition of his property, but his case is stuck in the Fulton court system and he only has weeks to respond to the foreclosure suit.
Speaker 2:He's just going to lose his fucking property and get a lot of money later. That's all that's going to happen.
Speaker 1:That's what.
Speaker 2:I think is going to happen, right, I mean he's got to get something. But here's the deal he literally he literally bought it for an investment property and now you're going to sue him and get more money than you ever had. As long as he wins, he should win. Dude, that's so fucked Like come on?
Speaker 1:If he doesn't, what kind of investment is that?
Speaker 2:Then he got super fucked, but that's just the way, that's just the world like being terrible.
Speaker 1:And you're investing off, for the next fucking forever, $68,000 in the whole Jesus man. Those fuckings with the lost house and they took your property. I can't even imagine. Like what happens if they take your property because you fail to pay the $68,000, you still owe the $68,000?.
Speaker 2:No, I think that they'd sell the property off to get the money back and whatever they sell it for, you probably get you owe the difference. Unless they sell it from one 60 and then they keep it and you get fucked.
Speaker 1:That's some booty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree, that's some booty. That's the way that kind of shit works and there's no way to fight these people. Man, you're just like a guy. You need a lot of money if you want to try to like, grow. You need Morgan and Morgan. I'd be calling Morgan and Morgan all day. Brad, all day. I don't know. They have to be in a way. He has to call Morgan and Morgan will get him money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, morgan and Morgan, and they're the ones that's on your side, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they're only on your side when you get hurt in an auto accident, I think, oh yeah, they kind of suck.
Speaker 1:So do you have another article.
Speaker 2:I have Uno, mas All right, let's hear it. This one is the genetically modified Brit mosquitoes could stamp out malaria with Bill Gates backing.
Speaker 1:Ooh.
Speaker 2:I like it. Bill Gates is backing the efforts of the UK firm Oxitec, who are genetically modifying this country's mosquitoes to turn them into weapons in the global war against malaria. I feel like this is how you get like the mass extinction of both, so this might be a high thought.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think we're going to die. But to genetically modify a mosquito wouldn't you need like a super tiny needle?
Speaker 2:I think they do it on the DNA structure and I don't think that they like inject it into the so what do they do?
Speaker 1:They're like maybe they do it in like a tube, like they probably just inject.
Speaker 2:They probably just inject it into like, like you said, with like a tiny, super tiny hyperdermic needle into the egg and changing like its DNA structure in the. Maybe, I'm guessing.
Speaker 1:I'm going to read more about. I'm going to read more, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:The British super mosquitoes could be deployed worldwide to eradicate malaria. Bill billionaire Bill Gates is backing the British effort to send the country's mosquitoes across the world in an effort to get rid of malaria everywhere. This would work because the super mazies, as they call them, created by the biotech firm are capable of killing off their disease ridden rivals that spread the illness, responsible for over half a million deaths a year.
Speaker 1:Did we remove this mosquitoes tendency to bite humans?
Speaker 2:That's all I care about, it says sometimes oxatech genetically modifies insects to use them as biological insects decides they work by the British mosquitoes entering. Being so, the British mosquitoes are entirely male only and carry a special gene that stops female offspring from surviving into adulthood.
Speaker 1:So it's going to kill all the mosquitoes Eventually.
Speaker 2:I guess so. So oxatech's all male mosquitoes are released into the wild and mate with the wild females, whose female offspring would all die. However, the male offspring survive and, unable to bite and spread the disease, go off into the world and mate with other wild females.
Speaker 2:I feel like don't let AI know about that this is said to be capable of dramatically reducing the world's mosquito population and the spread of malaria. So this I don't think. They don't think that this would even kill all mosquitoes, because there's so many mosquitoes, um well, imagine over time more than one billion have so far been released worldwide with no negative impacts, bill wrote in an online blog. In Brazil, they are already having a positive impact, helping eliminate Dengue fever, another mosquito transmitted disease which kills 40,000 people a year.
Speaker 2:They will be introduced in Djibouti in East Africa next year to stop the rise of the number of malaria cases from 27 in 2012 all the way up to 73,000 in 2020 27 in 2012 and then, eight years later, 73,000. Now, more than 7% of the population is infected with malaria. A number of other African countries like Ethiopia, sudan, somalia, kenya, nigeria and Ghana are suffering from this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the dangerous breeds live in the cities and have grown resistant to anti bug sprays. So basically, bro like this is a good thing, I think yeah, no, I'm with it. So Bill Gates, who's 67 is just like he says, he loves this because they produced potentially game-changing solution for mosquito control. You know what it sounds like? To me it sounds like Bill Gates is like what philanthropy can I do? I fucking hate mosquitoes. Let's fucking destroy these fuckers.
Speaker 2:I will put all of my money into destroying, because Bill Gates looks like a guy that gets bit by mosquitoes like all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he got bit by a mosquito and then he probably just couldn't even smash it and he was like you know, I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna kill all of you.
Speaker 2:This says Bill Gates said. Humans develop new inventions like bed nets, insecticides and treatments to protect themselves from mosquitoes. Mosquitoes, meanwhile, have an incredible capacity to adapt, allowing them to eventually dodge or develop resistance to the latest control methods. However, oxitec aims to change this game from cat versus mouse to mouse versus mouse, or, in this case, mosquito versus mosquito.
Speaker 2:Goddamn he said the company uses mosquitoes to fight the other mosquitoes and he continued to end malaria. We need to use many new tools and innovations to reduce the burden of the diseases and move it to the world closer and move the world closer to eradication. Just like I said, he wants them off. Yeah he's used the world move the world closer to a Radication. Bill said I'm excited about the potential of Oxitec's technology to help. Did you, bt and the rest of Africa achieve this goal of?
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness, I told you bro.
Speaker 2:He's like I will give you all my money if you can fucking just get rid of all that's what do we need them for? Literally nothing but malaria, I guess I.
Speaker 1:Know, I don't think.
Speaker 2:I don't think anyone would be upset like extinct animals like. But mosquitoes could go extinct.
Speaker 1:It's a pet. I feel like mosquitoes is one of a kind Like. I feel like we need those. I feel like it's gonna fuck up something in a circle.
Speaker 2:Maybe, but I'm okay with being gone. Let's just save a couple if it put them in a cage Shit goes, goes off rails. We don't need to save it. We'll just. We'll just keep some of their shit there, their shit, and click in Stasis, because we have stasis. Right, I hope we have stasis. What we have stasis. I was like stasis, like we just take some eggs that are unfertilized and we have some Just hang on to them. Yeah, just have these things like separate just in case we need them in the future. What if?
Speaker 1:we're like why don't we kill them? I imagine like two years later they're like it's all over the news. We're like America is is Scrambling to produce more mosquitoes. They were wrong. They were so wrong.
Speaker 2:The robotic mosquitoes just aren't enough. They just don't spread diseases.
Speaker 1:The same way Nope Population is added control.
Speaker 2:You see people.
Speaker 1:You see people like out, like mosquitoes like the number one killer of humans, maybe per year probably either them or dear, I think it's them, though. I think there's like in. America, because people aren't bad for mosquitoes. All right often here.
Speaker 2:Which animal kills the most humans per year? Mosquitoes 750,000.
Speaker 1:Think of. I think you want to know.
Speaker 2:You want to know what you want to know what the next highest killing animal of humans is. What's that humans?
Speaker 1:And then what's the next after that snakes? Okay, so if we get rid of Mosquitoes before AI like comes about, really, then AI is gonna come.
Speaker 2:Look at that chart and, oh my god, it's up. What's the number?
Speaker 1:one killer of humans. They're gonna be like oh it's humans, we're gonna have to eradicate them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, bro, snakes and then dogs. What snakes numbers? How many? A hundred thousand? Well one.
Speaker 1:So there's three reports crazy that mosquitoes kill more people every year than people kill.
Speaker 2:That's crazy to think about almost double. Well, not almost double, but like 80% like in.
Speaker 1:You think there's murders every day, like there's car crashes every day. Those got to count as people like a drunk driver. That's not a lot of accounts.
Speaker 2:Oh my god. Freshwater snails is on here Says less than 20,000 people that's gotta be like, or they're probably bad people eating them in France.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's gotta be like an allergic reaction.
Speaker 2:Scorpions is 325,000 across the board. Hippopotamus 500 Tapeworms kill 2,000 people a year. Man hippos are brutal tapeworms, hmm freshwater snails over here, 10,000 assassin bugs. I don't know what these are assassins. Clearly, the Ridu Videl is a large cosmopolitan family of the order of him, a Tara among the. I don't know what any of these words mean, bro. You're just saying.
Speaker 1:You're just saying words using all these big words.
Speaker 2:Tessity flies are large biting flies that inhabit much of tropical Africa. They kill 10,000 people per year.
Speaker 1:Do fucking fly shit's bad over there, bro, like the things they die from mosquitoes and Flies and shit like that. That doesn't happen here. You're never like oh, billy died. What was it? It was a mosquito bite.
Speaker 2:Oh Billy, billy got shot, they got shot.
Speaker 1:or Billy fell off a fucking building, yeah, but he over there like it's like if something bad happens there's no hospice. I mean, I'm sure there's hospitals in big cities, but in like those small you gotta go far dude. Yeah, you're going to a fucking voodoo doctor or some shit.
Speaker 2:That's just insane to me, that fuck mosquitoes kill so many more people Like and everyone's so afraid of sharks and they kill four people for you per year.
Speaker 1:So if mosquitoes are killing that many people think about how many animals mosquitoes are killing as well. So eradicate mosquitoes. The population growth of Just everything that's gonna sky, it's gonna has to go up, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But we're also making softer humans, bro.
Speaker 1:So I mean, literally, the sun kills us faster now and then imagine one sneaks out and it just stays away for like 15 years and our bodies all become weak to the diseases one stays away for 15.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and he just and he just made listen.
Speaker 1:No, listen, listen, there's a movie plot, and then he just hides out for 15 years and he's just mating. And then these mosquitoes are like sequoias. You know sequoias, they only come out like every like six years or so shit, he adapts he adapts, and they hide out, and they hide out, and they breed, and they die, and they breathe I.
Speaker 2:He's like a whole other numbers are huge.
Speaker 1:And then they come back whenever we're at our weakest, to fucking mosquitoes and they just wreck, bro. I'm saying wreck, like what are their numbers right now? 750,000, we're talking 750 million Bro?
Speaker 2:what one one of them has them rated out? A million per year? Cnet has a rate at a per million per year. The lowest BBC news says 725,000 million versus 720.
Speaker 1:I'm any, anyone is crazy.
Speaker 2:Those numbers are insane.
Speaker 1:It's like almost double the second one humans.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's funny because BBC news didn't list humans. No but business insider and CNET, we're like, we're animals. Bbc is like we are above animals, and we do not consider ourselves to be such disgusting, vile creatures.
Speaker 1:We got a separate article. We break it down by gender and race. Whoa.
Speaker 2:I don't know what.
Speaker 1:I'm saying that's probably what BBC does.
Speaker 2:Oh, he doesn't give a fuck. Yeah, they're like oh yeah, no White men.
Speaker 1:Oh you gotta be all people. I read BB's issue and it's like Like I would say it's the most unbiased news.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's also like the most like fuck America, like they're stupid over there. News.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but they talk like, Like we wish we could talk, because they don't have, they don't.
Speaker 2:None of our dollars are really invested in them. That's why so they don't care. No, yeah, they don't care what they say, they don't care, but yeah, man, that's really all I got to say about mosquitoes and Fucking bill mosquitoes were fun and we all know they're killers now. Yeah, kill a lot of people, a lot of people. So next time you see mosquito, don't feel bad about just straight smacking it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude, mother, shit out of it.
Speaker 2:It's gonna murder someone and also it also goes to my point that the 750,000 deaths caused by mosquitoes but, like Bill Gates said, only the females bite you, only the females are committing those crimes. Yeah, so that's 750,000 deaths per year caused by just females alone. And you guys wonder, you females wonder why we're so like, hesitant. So what the?
Speaker 1:fuck, do the males eat?
Speaker 2:I don't know what the males eat, but the males can't bite I think. I think the males might be able to bite other Animals maybe, I don't know, this could be completely wrong, but I know that the females need DNA to actually Okay. So the only I don't think that they suck blood to eat. They need our blood. It's like a Weird threesome, for, like the baby being born, like it needs the genetic material from our blood the egg and the male. You know what I'm saying. So when they suck your blood, it's not really to eat, it's to get pregnant.
Speaker 1:So these little little mosquitoes, or little Daniel mosquitoes, Daniel mosquitoes they got left. If it bit me, it's got my DNA.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yeah, the little babies whenever they bite you, you're, you just got babies. You got a mosquito baby.
Speaker 1:I feel like every time I'm gonna get bit by a mosquito and be like rape.
Speaker 2:You bet, yeah, you got, you're out of you. Gotta, technically they're raping you technically mosquitoes are.
Speaker 1:I don't want to be involved in you shenanigans.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's like it's really weird that their biology needs three.
Speaker 1:If everything else dies, mosquitoes are just fuck they're like.
Speaker 2:So can we get DNA from other?
Speaker 1:mosquitoes About molasses.
Speaker 2:What about? Yeah, they probably would work it out from a tree or something. Yeah, we, we're not scientists, guys, we're not scientists, we speculate. Did you see that lady that commented on our real we were talking about? Oh, was it last week when we were talking about the air, or was that two weeks ago? I?
Speaker 1:think it was two weeks ago where the guy was Invent, or not? I mean, we discovered discovered air.
