Well, all right, did you see the video about the dude talking about the Charlie Kirk thing?
He's in red and he's like talking to some reporter and then like seven of his goon friends come up and like push the microphone out of his hands and like get confront like confront him and push him up against the wall and tell him to shut up.
Have you seen this video?
It's weird, dude.
That's uh that is weird.
Have not heard of that one.
He's handed the microphone and he's like, dude, I was in the crowd right there.
I was watching him.
I look over and I see Charlie like shoot backward in his chair and blood comes pouring out.
And as he's saying that, this guy comes up, takes the microphone away from him and shoves him up against the wall.
And then the camera pans out because they're like backing up because of it's like a fight.
And like five or six of these other people, oh, they're all dressed in red with the American, must be a turning point shirt.
And they all come up and they're like, what the fuck, dude?
They shut him up immediately.
It's weird.
I'm especially confused by this because I'm not really hearing like disrespect or hate or anything.
I'm hearing somebody like recount an event that they saw, right?
Right.
What a bizarre reaction.
Very weird.
No, don't discuss the fact that you were there and saw someone get murdered.
Why don't they want you to talk about that, huh?
Well, exactly.
No unauthorized speaking, eh?
But someone in the comments was like, well, it's for legal issues.
Because it's a turning point.
It looks like turning point like employees or something.
I don't know.
But they're saying like you probably don't want him to make an official statement.
I was about to say, like, if you, you see, I think if it was professional turning point people, they wouldn't rough them up or nothing.
They would just like whip out.
They would just put their hands up and like whip out some paperwork and be like, you're going to get a suit or some shit.
See, I don't know who these guys are.
I don't know if they're turning point employees because they're young.
They're all really young.
But they're all wearing the same shirt with the 47 white hat.
That guy has a red hat.
I don't know.
He gets rough with them, dude.
These guys get rough with him.
It's just odd.
It's especially odd to me because it's almost like a mega cosplay.
I'm like, is that actually what the T Pusa turning point USA people were wearing at the time?
Yeah, I don't know.
Because thinking back to videos that I have seen of the incident, I don't remember seeing a bunch of people with this outfit you're describing around the crowd or anything.
You'd think there'd be at least a few people dressed up like this if they were actual staffers.
Unless they were some kind of private security, they weren't part of the main group.
What the hell?
No, I think it's just some college kids, dude.
They're all wearing American comeback red t-shirts.
I think they're just college kids.
They're all wearing backpacks.
So it's just weird that his friends would go up there and like.
I mean, with how badly people are wound up, they might be, they might just have gotten upset that he was like celebrating it in some way, but he really wasn't.
No, this kid is like head trapped.
That's probably happened quite a bit.
This kid that was trying to talk, he's like scared.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Like, you know.
And then they all come up and are like, shut up, dude.
Well, that's why I've confused them.
Like, you know.
Doesn't make sense.
It just.
Doesn't sound like he was hating.
No, he wasn't hating.
He was just, he was like scared.
He was like generally petrified.
Now I'm going to have to hunt this video, damn.
I can send it to you.
Okay, I'm going to send it to you in a text.
I don't got my phone.
That's the problem.
Oh, fuck.
You don't.
Well, whatever.
I'll send it to you anyway.
You can watch it later.
All right.
But what else did you want to talk about?
The Charlie Kirk thing.
Well, you know, like, since we don't really know exactly what's happening, you know, whether the dude's actually transgender Trump supporter who's rooming with another man, another also trans person or whatever the hell.
But they were raised by Republicans, therefore they had to be a Republican.
But they went to college and then they became a lefty.
And honestly, it's just it's all a bunch of bullshit.
somebody murders somebody like freaking that's way more extreme than anybody else's being yeah like it's so it's just ridiculous this whole like song and dance people do so as far as i'm concerned until more info on that comes out like i just covered all we really need to worry about it's a bunch of conflicting arguments about whether what the person's motivations and It's all over the place.
That's why I don't really want to talk too much about it right now because it's just so much emotion and so many different narratives.
And it's like, let's just wait.
Yeah.
Let the dust settle.
Except the few blatantly obvious things are the video of the dude jumping off the roof.
He wasn't, well, he had a limp after he jumped off.
You could see it.
He hurt his knee or something.
Yeah.
But he like ran off.
He didn't have a rifle on him.
Rifles found in the woods like a mile away, whatever.
The rifle is, it's, it wasn't assembled, right?
It wasn't even able to be shot.
So they're like, well, there was like the official press.
Some one of those officials was like, oh, the guy got up there.
He changed his clothes and then he shot and then he changed his clothes again.
And then he got off the roof and he changed his clothes again, ran off in the woods.
He assembled the rifle because he disassembled it on the roof and then he reassembled it in the woods and then he ran off and we saw him found him.
It's like, dude, shut up.
That is the dumbest fucking excuse ever, man.
I thought that guy was being sarcastic.
The dude who made that whole lie.
And I, right?
I did not think that was a serious story.
I thought he was seriously like taking the piss with that whole thing.
It was real.
Wow, that was well, the guy I heard might have been making fun of the guy you were talking about because the guy I heard was definitely not taking it seriously.
He was making fun of that shit.
He was just like, so that's the story, guys.
Yeah.
So y'all believe it?
Yeah, what you saw, what you watched, that was different.
There's like an actual official video of that guy going up there.
He's stumbling his words like stumble, dumb, dude.
Doesn't know what to say.
So he changes clothes and then changes clothes again and changes clothes again and disassemble the rifle.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
Oh, yeah.
There's so much conspiracy stuff behind it.
It's a very, it's a conspiracy cat, dude.
It's so.
And then on top of it, the guy is like everything to everyone because nobody can quite nail down what he is 100% right now.
Yeah.
So they can all use it for their own purposes.
Yeah.
Stephen King is like, he, why are we, why do we care?
He wanted Gaze to be stoned to death.
And it's like, he never said that.
And there's a video he did kind of say something along those lines back in the day, but he like walked it back.
He didn't actually say that shit.
And then Stephen King comes out and apologizes, but like all these book publisher people are like taking all his books off the shelves, which I'm like, yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Fuck you, Stephen.
Which is like, yeah, it's like, you know, when you say awful stuff, you should come clean.
I didn't necessarily like that people hated on him for coming clean, but also his apology was also like basically, I'm sorry, I got him wrong.
He just cherry-picked the Bible was all.
And I'm like, wow.
Empty.
Just somebody just got murdered.
And you're like, you know, I only accused him of this thing, but he actually only did this other shit.
And I'm like, dude, fuck off.
Like, just say you're sorry for Christ's sake.
Yeah, it's so damn, dude.
It's such a mealy mouth excuse.
Yeah.
Like, if he had just full-throated been like, dude, I fucked up.
Like, you know, I didn't realize he was saying, you know, in the Old Testament, that's what the Bible said, like, blah, blah, blah.
Like, you know, and that he wasn't going to advocate for Christian Sharia or something.
And I'm just like, you know.
But the, but like, yeah, the only thing we can really nail down is stuff like that, the reaction to it.
Because sadly, whether or not it was all fake and whether or not like, you know, Charlie, Charlie Kirk was actually a balloon person, like filled with filled with like freaking jelly or whatever stupid shit people want to try to make up next week, freaking like, or like, or like whatever.
Like what we really do know is that a whole lot of people think that you should die if you have certain ideas they don't like.
And it is scary.
It makes me think to myself, like, when you talk about MK Ultra and them announcing that they ended the program, is it, did they end the program because they were just like, you know, we're going to start a new program or you just apply it to everybody and see who it sticks on.
Yeah, they, quote unquote, ended the program in what, 76, 1976 or something.
But they didn't end it.
Fuck, no, they didn't end it.
Look, it's look on TV.
It's propaganda constantly.
Like they didn't end it.
MK Ultra continued.
Naomi continued.
They ended the official declaration that they were doing it.
Yeah.
You know, Obama legalizes the ability for the media to lie to us.
Like, okay, Smith Mont Act.
Let's make it.
That's actually trending on Twitter now, that Smith-Munt Act.
Everyone's like saying, We need to repeal this shit, obviously, but it's not going to happen.
Trump's not going to repeal it.
The next president's not going to repeal it.
They're not going to repeal the Patriot Act.
No way.
Yeah, it's just all nonsense.
It's a, it's all, it really is.
Did you see the video of another Charlie Kirk event?
And he's talking to someone in the crowd, and the guy's wearing a sniper t-shirt.
And Charlie Kirk pinches his left neck.
Like, what the fuck's that about?
That's odd.
Weird shit.
Yeah.
It's weird shit.
I mean, someone tried to claim that, like, in the video, that like his ring finger shifted fingers.
Yeah, I watched the replay a few times when it was basically like, yeah, that's too blurry for me to conclusively say that.
Too hard to tell.
It's a hinge ring.
He had a hinged ring, so it opens up like a hinge.
And yeah, it's on his ring finger.
And then all of a sudden, after he gets shot, it's on his pinky finger, which the statistics to allow that to happen at that particular time is pretty fucking weird.
The coincidence is just uncanny.
Yeah, see, that's a see, like, I see, I couldn't get a good enough shot of it with all the videos I saw because people are sharing these like low-quality bullshit, like re-uploads of what was probably actually pretty decent footage at some point.
But because everybody wants to embed it, they all like, well, they don't want you to have to wait forever.
Yeah.
So, of course, you're not getting the good video.
Well, I mean, since you said that, let's talk really quick about how many cameras are on campus, like upwards of 2,000 cameras on campus.
How many of those are on the event, like around that event, who had which had visibility of the event?
How many people had cell phone footage?
Because you look at any of the footage, you see a lot of cell phones up.
There's a drone flying around the sky.
Who's running that drone?
There's a camera.
You even asked, why didn't security have a drone?
And a lot of people were thinking the same thing.
Well, you would think that's a good drone or you'd think Turning Point would have a couple drones up there just to get cool footage of the event.
I mean, I would.
But then you'd think.
Behind Charlie Kirk, up above him on the back wall, behind the little pagoda thing he's sitting in, there's a camera, a big camera set up there.
And right after Charlie Kirk is shot, somebody in his crew immediately goes up to that camera and takes it down.
That's kind of destroying a crime scene.
Not just kind of, it is destroying a crime scene.
So where's the footage of that camera?
There are a lot of questions here.
And also, why was that angle in particular so essential to be eliminated?
Did it see something you couldn't see at any other angle?
I mean, they had it.
We had a, I remember seeing one video that supposedly of the event where people were watching the guy scurrying around.
And my first and immediate thought was, do people see a guy carrying a high-powered rifle around out of school like a few months after the you know totally totally real like Thomas Crooks incident?
Yeah.
Freaking, and both of them are just like, oh, like, must be a security guy.
And I'm like, my God, the gullibility level.
Yeah.
Security guards walk around at 30 out 60.
And one of them even says, like, wouldn't he already be in place?
Yeah, you'd think that, right?
And I'm just like thinking to myself, like, shouldn't you be like fucking yelling to somebody?
Like, hey, is that part of your team?
Like, hey, somebody's posting up with a rifle.
Like, is he part of your team?
Like, you know, I feel like disrupting the incident, the event for a few seconds, like, would have been worth it to save somebody's fucking life.
You'd think so.
Like, my God, like anybody's life, not just Charlie Kirk, but literally anybody.
I mean, at the same time, it does show the wonders of like bystander, like of what you call bystander syndrome, because that's what happens so often is people basically see someone do something off, but because everyone else just doesn't really react to it necessarily, they all think like, oh, well, you know, that must not be weird.
Somebody, you know, if I mean, obviously, if you have, you know, that was something weird, the security guys would deal with it, right?
They'd be running for him.
Like, exactly.
The dogs be barking.
Footage before the event, there's someone clearly laying down in a sniper position on the roof.
Who the fuck is that guy?
Like, honestly, I think this Tyler guy, the guy they arrested, whose dad turned them in, dad was like a career sheriff, which is another more conspiracy.
But people keep batting back and forth, whether they're Republican or Democrat.
And there's all these indicators that are contradictory.
like you know that like you know the crooks incident like he was a registered republican who'd like voted in a primary but people said that he actually voted for a democrat but who knows and then he actually donated for to a democrat with money like once again this guy is everyone to everyone every everything to everyone yeah you know the best out the best possible hay to be made and so yeah like stinks like a patsy that way Huge patsy.
That's what I was going to say is this Ryan guy or a Tyler guy, definitely a Patsy.
100% confirmed.
Like in my opinion, I think is a total fucking Patsy.
Yeah, which it really must suck.
Like if, you know, imagine being like somebody like being basically told, like, you have to do this or you're like ass or like, you know, you know what'll happen.
Right.
And then you go do it and find out you're just set up for the whole thing.
Yep.
You're like, oh, fuck.
Yeah.
And you know, nobody will believe you.
And any story, like, to the contrary, will be censored and destroyed.
Oh, that's it.
That's it.
That's the thing.
Like, like, try to envision being the target of one of these media blitzes.
Suspicious Arm Movements00:09:02
Like, how hard would it be to clear your name?
It'd be pretty hard.
Impossible.
You're F'd.
You're already deemed guilty.
Yeah.
Like, something could come out, like, straight up video could get leaked and somebody else doing it.
And there would still be 50% of people would be like, no, the government said you guilty.
You're guilty.
Exactly.
That's the problem here is just an unmetered amount of emotion everywhere.
And nobody can just chill out.
And the FBI is not going to do the work.
They literally sit back on these events and let the U's and I's do all the investigations and try to figure it out.
And then they come on our back on our fucking coattails and are like, oh, look, we caught the, we caught the perpetrator 33 hours later.
Okay, cash.
That whole quote of like, this is what happens when good police work comes together, whatever the hell after like, you know, he gets turned in after escaping scot free was so like just the grossest time to grandstand.
Like, excuse me, did you like, you know, like it'd be like a football team celebrating because like the guy like because they fumbled the ball and then the other team dropped it in the end zone and you ran it back.
It's like, no, you still fucked up.
Big time fucked up.
You carried it back again.
You know, like you could have just done that the first time.
Yay me.
It's the biggest thing.
Except, you know, the guy who fumbled the ball isn't even on the field.
Right.
He goes on and takes the credit because he's like, you know, did you see that drive?
I did.
It's the narrative.
But it's like, this is the playbook they've been using since JFK.
Who knows?
Probably way before JFK.
But if it works, why change it?
Well, yeah.
And the irony, of course, is if a running back actually claimed, you know, like, actually claimed, you know, like success when he fucked up.
And then the defense saved his ass.
Everybody be laughing at it.
Yeah.
So, and whereas in this case, like, so many people just eat it up.
Like, nobody buy it.
Like, to use the dumb sports analogy, nobody would accept this if it was in their sports.
Right.
Unless it's wrestling.
Or how about the, there's a jet.
There's a plane that flies away.
Well, it has to be the heel who does it.
And then they get celebrated for it.
Yeah.
But there's a plane.
So after Charlie's shot, whatever, there's like 20 minutes later, a plane leaves the airport and then it turns off its responder like a few minutes later or something like that.
Like that's pretty suspicious.
Yeah, like none of it adds up.
And it's almost designed not to add up, to make you to make you ask more questions.
Exactly.
Because Smith mumped.
And then it's such an emotional thing that everybody's mad about asking questions.
Exactly, dude.
And at first, I was like on Twitter.
I'm like, shut up, guys.
This couldn't be a squib.
This couldn't be Hollywood.
This is not fake blood, this and that.
But the more I watch the footage, the more I see other people like putting the pieces together, I'm like, holy fuck, dude.
Holy fuck.
There's no blood trail from where he's picked up to the cars they threw him in.
And I don't know how much blood exactly the body holds, but dude, there's still going to be a few droplets no matter what.
I mean, unless it's days later and you're completely bled out, but this is literally within seconds.
Yeah.
See, I was at, see, I have no idea.
Like, when people argue about whether 200 yards is an easy shot or not, I just think to myself, like, go take it yourself.
But like, and then they're like, oh, I do easily.
And I'm like, yeah, in a calm situation on a nice day where you got no win and you just wait your happy ass as opposed to having a time window and tension and realizing that you only got really got one because after that shit's all moving.
Like it's a little bit different.
Yeah.
Like I'm thinking to myself, no, that's kind of a little more tense situation than hunting a deer, people.
Exactly, dude.
I can't stand those motherfuckers that are coming out saying, this is an easy shot.
200 yards.
You got to do it every time.
Look at me.
It's like, dude, yeah, okay.
You're posting a video of you doing it once out of how many tries.
Like, this is literally someone.
You're the commando from Command and Conquer.
That one was left-handed.
Like, I grew up in a hunting family.
Like, I've hunted deer.
I've hunted elk.
I've hunted these animals.
That's not an easy shot for just, I don't know, I wasn't really a trained gunsman or anything, but I'm still a hunter.
Like, I used to be.
I don't do it anymore.
That's still a hard shot with a 30-out six.
It's still pretty hard.
Like, at 200 yards is, like, long enough to be affected by bullet drop-in wind.
Exactly.
Like, it's not, it's not a, it's not a gimme.
Like, people are acting like it is.
That's why, that's why I don't get it.
I'm like, you know, okay, so not a trained sniper, but maybe not somebody who just shoots at the range with a pistol.
Like, obviously, this guy is practiced at longer ranges.
Yeah, like in order to, you know, account for the wind speed and all that and the Coriolis effect.
A sniper basically has their, their, what do you call it?
In the nest with them, the spotter.
Yeah, the spotter.
They account for the wind speed, the direction, all of that.
And so the sniper knows exactly where to aim.
This is a perfect shot to the fucking neck or the chest, whatever it is.
That's a perfect shot.
And another key thing is when you're, yeah, another key thing is when you're looking through a magnifying glass slash microscope at something that far away, which you're effectively doing in this scenario, there is a whole lot of everything that you are not seeing at the same time that could potentially move in front of you, block your vision.
That drone could fly in front of you.
Like, you know, like a lot of, there's a lot of shit that is designed to be covered by having a spotter be with you who can have that full field of vision and go, oh, somebody's about to walk in front of him.
That's why they, that's why, you know, like, for God's sake, like, you know, even if you don't got any training or nothing, like, just, you've watched movies, the guy says fire, fire, fire, like slowly and calmly over and over again, basically signaling that he has an open window to shoot in the next few seconds and there's not going to be anything obscuring his vision or blocking that shit.
So yeah, now's the time.
And so.
And then plus a high-powered, high, a high-powered round is going to have a pretty nasty exit wound, which we don't see.
We see an exit wound or it could be an entry wound, but we don't see the damage that a high-powered rifle would leave.
A 30-out six, dude, it's pretty big caliber.
Yeah.
But then we talk about spotters and things like this, but if we look at the video, and I'm sure you've seen all these videos of the guys behind Charlie Kirk, his crew, quote unquote, there's some weird shit going on there.
A lot of weird shit going on with the arm movements, signals.
There's a guy in the crowd who looks like he's, he looks like he shoots a gun right as Charlie gets hit.
He makes that movement.
It's a guy in a white shirt.
I'm not saying that's the guy that did this, but it's really weird.
The hand movements are really fucking weird.
The guy who everyone says is like his best friend in the blue shirt, I believe, he looks like he's holding something underneath his arm because he has arms crossed.
He looks like he has something pointed at Charlie.
The guy next to him has a phone directly on Charlie.
And the moment that he's shot, the guy that has his arms crossed puts whatever he's holding into his, like he conceals it somewhere.
He can't see where.
And then he runs towards Charlie.
And then it's very strange, to say the least.
And Ryan Mata, who we had on our show sometime back, he made a little compilation thing trying to get to the point to the bottom of this.
And they are, the military has these weapons, these handguns that fold up and look just like a cell phone.
Looks just like an iPhone.
And it folds out and it's actually a handgun.
Oh, yeah.
You can buy them.
It's fucking crazy.
Oh, yeah.
You can buy them.
They're available for civilian use.
Granted, like, you know, you carry one around.
People are going to be suspicious as hell of you, obviously.
But that's the whole idea is you don't let people know and people don't know up until you actually shoot the sucker.
Because I've seen the things.
Like the one I saw was just one of the older models.
I imagine the military's got way fancier shit than that.
Yeah.
Like this one just looked like an old school like flip phone was just basically it was effectively an old school, like one of those multi-shot guns where it just had one shot four different times along the bottom.
FBI's Video Release Controversy00:06:21
And each poll would just fire the next chamber.
Yeah, this one had two shots.
And apparently there's a report that someone in the crowd was hit by something.
I've only heard that once.
I haven't heard that anywhere else.
But where's this person that was hit?
Let's ask them some questions.
But let's get all that video.
There's tons of video.
Let's get that video, FBI.
What are you doing?
Yeah, it's like it's morbid and rough, but at the same time, they have to release that to the public because they have no trust and they don't deserve it.
No trust, no trust, and do not deserve any exactly.
They have negative trust because, you know, they've been caught and trapping people.
Yeah, over and over and over.
We assume malfeasance from the baseline and go from there and think maybe sometimes they might accidentally fuck up and not do something bad.
Look at who's heading the FBI, a podcaster and Cash Patel.
Like, what?
What are we doing?
What are we doing here?
I know.
And then it's like, and then what did they brag about?
They're like, yeah, we fired some people.
I'm like, you're a law enforcement agency and you had people breaking the law.
And you're just like, yeah, we fired those mofos.
Sure showed them.
And I'm just like, yeah, I'm sure you didn't set them up after or anything, right?
Well, shit, dude.
Thank you for mentioning that because apparently Cash fired the head FBI agent in Utah.
It was a woman and she was like really good at her job.
Everyone was saying, this is the best there's ever been.
She's the cream of the crop.
And then a week before this event, Cash fires her for no reason.
Hmm.
Suspicious.
Well, and again, like, you know, if these guys were breaking the law and stuff, they shouldn't have been getting fired.
They should have been getting charged for all the shit they do, considering they're literally law enforcement.
Yeah.
It's pretty, pretty hot confidence eroding when law enforcement won't even police itself as it's being caught doing shit.
Exactly.
That's what pisses me off.
So it's like, yeah, if you had actually something on her, then go ahead and nail her for that.
But instead, they all just fire people.
And that does kind of beg the question.
Were they just getting rid of the last of the good ones?
That's what it seems like.
They're like, these people, these people seem passionate.
Like, you know, we'll fire a few token people that folks are mad at, like a few high-profile names that, again, otherwise would get prosecuted.
Right.
But inexplicably, because we fired you from your job, that somehow counts as the law being enforced.
Yeah.
Totally ass backwards.
Ridiculous.
None of it makes sense.
But I think one of the biggest things about all of this is that about five hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, Congress blocked the release of the Epstein files.
And it's funny because this big high-profile event kind of overshadows the Epstein files.
That was gaining a lot of traction.
And the government's like, oh, shit, we need an event.
We need an event here so people can forget about it.
And what happens next?
Charlie Kirk gets shot.
Nobody's talking about the Epstein files.
People are almost starting to think that when we said we had them, it might have contradicted when we said they don't exist.
Yeah.
That's it.
They're just basically like, all right, call up and say the cohort call and say the co-work code words, right?
Exactly.
And it all comes right after like, it was official that the FBI is coming out and being like, yes, Trump is in these files.
There he is.
He's in there multiple times.
He's even then there flagged in there as saying he wants his name to be removed from said files.
So that's the FBI saying that shit.
What happened to that agent who said that?
He was fired.
I want to read the Epstein file that has Trump asking to be removed from the Epstein file.
Yeah.
Release that file.
Release the one file of Trump's.
I'm going to at least get to read that one.
Fuck at least that one.
Release the Epstein file.
Since you're never going to release them all, just release that one.
Yeah.
I want to see that.
That was something.
Just that page.
It would be exactly 100% more than we've gotten.
They released, what, 33,000 documents, they said.
And everybody's like, these are all, these are like 97% not new information and none of this is groundbreaking at all.
And I'm like, and I was like, so shocked that they lied again because I was ready.
You know, I was Charlie Brown running for that football.
Totally.
And I was going to kick it into the stratosphere.
And you know what?
Those fuckers pulled it away.
And I felt so betrayed.
33,000 emails.
That's what I would be saying if I bought that shit.
Oh, absolutely.
But you see, there's always a 33 in these big events.
There's always a 33 somewhere in there.
Yeah.
At least one.
33 hours, 33,000 files released.
33,000 emails.
33,000 emails.
It's just so stinky.
And I'm like, if they're deleted and you can't recover them and you can't find them, how do you give a number?
Exactly.
If there's no forensic evidence that they existed at all, how exactly is there a friggin' count?
That was always the thing I always wondered.
Like, so you can't get them.
You can't see them.
You can't count them.
Can't look at them.
But you know how many there were?
Yep.
Well, because he like told you, like, but well, you know, like, so if somebody just like threw a number at you and you're like, yeah, that's how many she had.
Yeah.
But it's never like 28 or 99 or 72.
It's always 33.
It's 33,000.
Nothing random.
Inexplicably.
Now, if they caught him 86 hours and 47 minutes later, that would have really blew my mind right there.
Like, oh my God.
Like they, like, they, like, like 33 was already bad enough, but like, they're throwing out so many numbers of just like fucked up shit and trying to invoke stuff.
Reaction Fallout00:02:54
It freaks me out.
Because like a lot of this is like, you know, set up.
And even if it isn't fully staged, it's still like ginned up to happen.
For example, the reaction here.
So, you know, how much of this is real and how much of it is actually like fake ceases to become a thing once you deal with things like the reaction to this, you know, like all the bills that they passed in the wake of this or whatever, or whatever the fuck they passed.
Better not be boycotting Israel because if you boycott Israel, you're going to get arrested, which they've been doing for the past couple of years.
They've been trying to get anything negative towards Israel to be illegal.
And how many of them gone over the wall to kiss and lick?
Yeah.
So at some point, it stops being about whether it was a setup or not because they knew the reaction would be this.
Like they essentially knew from like years of these college people, like hearing all this stuff and hearing their evil and having it drilled into their heads that these people are like the devil incarnate, ready to like restore the handmaid's tail and put it put everyone back into maternal bondage forever and ever to only produce babies on the ranch, blah, blah, blah, or whatever the hell.
Like, I don't know the exact scenario that they, that they envisioned because all I know is it involves an outfit of a certain sort.
Because other than that, like, you know, half of them haven't even watched the damn movie.
So you're like, wait, how does it not even match up with the movie?
Well, they're always trying to stoke the civil war, you know?
Yeah.
It almost seemed like they almost succeeded with this one to start the civil war.
Like people that I know very, very closely were like really angry.
Like, oh, holy shit, you're angry.
Yeah.
Like, oh, this is it.
This is the fucking final straw.
Oh, raw.
Hurrah.
It's like, oh, God.
Chill out.
It got a lot of people to be cancellatious for sure.
Like anybody who celebrated it, which, you know, after you watch the crooks shooting like reaction, you know, how did you not think that was going to happen again?
Like, like at this time, it's not this time.
It's like, it's not somebody who, you know, when they, if they got taken out, it's going to like cause massive like political disruption because in the end, he didn't really hold any particular office, just a high place in some people's minds.
Right.
And so like, uh, and so like, you know, getting rid of him wasn't going to cause like some massive upheaval.
Cancellation Consequences00:06:55
But at the same time, people are, and so if anything, I thought, you know, like, that's going to cause people to celebrate it more because freaking because I just remembered the whole, like, like I said, the Crooks thing.
And I'm like, even if you don't like somebody, someone getting taken out that way causes what you call unwanted knock-on effects that are extremely bad and often result in totalitarianism and problem reaction solutions.
So yeah, just because something bad happens to somebody you don't like doesn't necessarily make it good for you.
Nope.
Nope.
And so it's like these people don't get this, but they felt a lot safer this time because, you know, him being gone didn't mean like, you know, who's going to lead the free world or some shit.
Yeah.
Well, thank God we still have Trump's earlobe.
It was just basically who was going to lead turning point.
Yeah.
Oh, what is it true that Shapiro, Ben Shapiro is going to take over the turning point?
Is that true?
Have you seen that?
Ben Shapiro?
Yeah.
Really, can you believe if that's true?
Like, that's a major slap in the fucking face, like big time slap in the face.
Somebody told, or there's a lot of rumors circulating that, like, Charlie just turned down like Israeli money right beforehand.
Yeah, which, of course, just makes all the conspiracy bells and whistles go off, especially when you know, preceding that story over the previous few months is all these other salacious stories of other influencers getting the Tel Aviv invitation and taking it, and then coming back and being very defensive about it and not really wanting to discuss things.
And, you know, like, let's not do this.
And so, you know, somebody saying, nah, I don't really want to be funded by you.
You know, that's dangerous money to not take.
It was what, a couple months ago or a month ago, or probably a couple of months ago, where Benji Milikowski, Netanyahu, put out that thing.
It's like, we're taking all the top influencers.
We're going to free flight, free stay, just go to the wall, kiss it, lick it.
Yeah, I mean, in the end, you know, and yeah, a lot of them did.
Marco Rubio even did.
Yeah.
In the end, they don't really need to even set anything up, though, because I mean, they primed half the country to celebrate anybody who does take a damn shot like this.
It's fucked up, man.
And I swear, like, the media wanted to set it up that way.
And that's why they gave all those Mangioni pictures when they had him initially.
They showed only the like Vogue poses and friggin Adonis model pictures.
Like, cause they, because if they had really wanted to demonize that dude and be like, you know, hey, you know, like shooting like executives is bad, guys.
Okay.
Like, you know, you're not going to show them in their most flattering light.
You're going to have some pictures of them holding a gun and flipping off the camera.
Looking angry and mean.
You know, like, come on.
Yeah.
Looking angry and mean.
Like, you know, maybe like some videos of him starting shit with people, like stuff like that.
Like, no, you're, but no, like, the every picture of him had him looking like he was a damn supermodel.
Some GQ models.
He did all that block walk.
Yeah, I was going to say then he did some black since he did all that black rock work.
Probably fit pretty good.
Absolutely.
So, so, you know, they get the handsome, handsome killer, and now they're taking this dude.
And I swear they're just pulling it back a little bit.
And they're like, you know, let's see if you accept a slightly less, a slightly less flattering view.
Like, here, we'll actually just show the security photos.
Like, you'll notice they're circulating security photos rather than ancient pictures of this guy.
And even in the old pictures, they're not like they're not like going for, yeah, Vogue posing.
And then some people are putting Trump shirts on him and shit.
Yeah, that's so dumb.
At the bottom of the end of the line here, it's all of these events are, it's like a litmus test for the deep state, if you will, the government, whoever it be, pulling strings to say to see how much the public will actually believe before they actually roll out the big one.
You know what I mean?
All these little litmus tests to see how dumb people are so they can eventually put out what blue blue bean?
I think it's going to be the end game here.
If it's not a civil war first, so Jesus can pop up in the sky and be like, hey, yeah, hey, the Lord said, obey your government.
The Lord said, believe everything Trump says.
It'd be like super holy to do whatever they tell you to.
I've sent you my emissary on this earth.
How could you reject him?
Jesus is God's son.
Trump is Jesus's son.
It's a long line of lineage.
I mean, when you look at the level of anger, it does, it is more akin to a religious fervor than a political attitude.
Like a political attitude is basically like, you know, you want me to have less stuff.
Like, I don't like you.
I'm going to charge you full price.
And you ain't going to, I ain't going to honor that coupon that expired two days ago.
Shit like that.
Yeah.
It's not, you're the, you're like, this is more religious than political because it's like, you know, you must be defeated.
I will ride upon my right horse and strike you with the blade of righteousness.
And you're just like, dude, no.
Nope.
No, you're shit tweeting.
You're shit tweeting to probably Russians.
Masters.
Yeah.
Definitely all Russians.
Russians, maybe some Chinese.
Definitely at least 40% of the population of India.
All of North Korea.
Possibly an American once in a while will read your tweet.
And I don't know.
Probably skip by it.
Because they're just like, why are they responding to them?
So I mean this kind of all segues into the cancellation of all things.
And what's the biggest cancellation?
Well, you know, if you can't get him shut down by sending the hate Twitter hate mob after him, then you just gotta sue him into oblivion.
Just gotta sue them.
That's the core.
Yep.
That's the corporate version, the ultimate cancellation.
And yeah, and technically it's the root of all cancellation.
Because most of none of these companies really give a crap about anybody.
All they're ever worried about is that they might get sued by something or they might lose money.
Suing for Bubbles00:15:33
And almost always it's because they might get sued.
Yeah, dude.
And even if they get sued or whatever, lose some money, they'll get bought out.
Or the banks will help them.
Something will happen.
They won't just go away.
Yeah, and don't think a lawsuit being completely ridiculous and invalid means that you'll lose.
Or for that matter, that a lawsuit being ironclad and completely valid meaning you'll win.
100%.
Because that's the way the game is played.
Sign the wrong contract, make the wrong deal, you F yourself over and lose.
Yep, 100%.
And that's why today we're going to talk about some of the most ridiculous lawsuits ever filed.
Some won and some lost.
The first entry we have here, on the morning of July 7th, 2001, a prankster introduced detergent into the fountain of wind located in Canal Park, Duluth, Minnesota, resulting in a substantial accumulation of bubbles.
And awesomeness?
And total awesomeness.
Several hours later, a passerby named Kathy Kelly entered the bubbly area and slipped into the fountain, causing a laceration to her left lower shin.
Due to her pre-existing diabetes, the wound subsequently became infected, leading to medical expenses totaling $43,000.
Kelly initiated a lawsuit against the city, arguing that it had failed to remove the suds or to post warning signs.
Even though municipal workers had been alerted to the danger approximately four hours prior.
In March of 2004, a jury determined that the city bore 70% of the responsibility for the incident, while Kelly was deemed 30% responsible for her injury, resulting in a judgment of $125,000 awarded to the plaintiff.
Currently, the fountain is surrounded by a protective railing.
Yeah, you're only 70% responsible.
Yeah, the city is currently declaring personhood upon the fountain and suing the fountain for the amount lost.
It's okay, we'll make it back as soon as we declare the fountain to be a person and dump the dead on them.
Bastards.
I mean, that sounds like a fun time.
I know.
And then, and then, of course, well, you know, bubbles are kind of slippery.
Yeah, Karens always have to come in.
Ruin the fun.
I know, like, how dare the prankster not post a wet floor sign?
I feel like the thousands of bubbles would be the best hit.
Yeah, it could be.
Don't trust your eyes, though.
Don't trust your eyes.
Well, I guess this would have been a long time later.
Maybe the bubbles would have died down by then.
Several hours.
So that kind of begs the question, like, how long would this amount of detergent, like, it sounds like they dumped a good bit in there, actually keep going before it stops being bubble awesomeness and starts just being a hazard?
Several hours later, so what was Kathy Kelly doing?
Not paying attention.
That's what she was doing.
Well, I mean, your solution is to slip and have your subsequent diabetes get infected and have them decide that that's worth 70 cents on the dollar worth of your fault.
Don't you think the soap would have cleaned it out?
That does kind of beg the question of with that much detergent around, how'd you get an affected wound?
That is a dirty ass.
So anyway, number two here.
It is difficult to comprehend that an individual could successfully sue for injuries sustained while unlawfully entering another person's property.
However, this is precisely what transpired with two teenagers from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who suffered severe burns while atop a stationary railroad car in 2002.
Now, while skateboarding, Jeffrey Klein and Brett Birdwell unlawfully accessed land owned by Amtrak Norfolk Southern Corps and ascended a boxcar in an attempt to gain a better view of the city.
Who doesn't?
An un-insulated wire hanging above the train delivered a jolt of 12,500 volts of electricity straight to Klein, resulting to severe burns covering 75% of his body.
That sucks.
Horrible shit.
That's a bummer.
Also, ow.
Like he got cooked.
Totally cooked.
Birdwell, on the other hand, incurred burns on 12% of his body when he rushed to help his friend, whose clothing had ignited by this point.
And during the trial in October of 2006, the jury determined that, despite their trespassing, the 17-year-old boys were not liable for the incident.
Instead, the responsibility was placed entirely on Amtrak and Norfolk Southern for their failure to install warning signs regarding the hazards posed by an electrical wire that supply power to locomotives.
And as compensation for medical expenses, pain, and suffering, he won.
Ah, jeez.
Or the 2-1, the pair one.
You know, the sign requirements aren't really so a trespassers can read where not to go.
Those are so employees don't kill themselves.
Yes.
Not knowing that they're going to get fried going up there.
It's not really so people can break into your property and sneak around and get fried.
I feel like that was like one of those applications of the letter rather than the spirit of things.
Absolutely, because they're like, well, you're effectively liable because you didn't put up a warning.
It's like pretty much, man, like, if you cut off your arm with a chainsaw, you got to put a note on the thing saying, don't cut off your damn arm with the chainsaw.
We will not sell it back on for you.
100%, dude.
There are already no trespassing signs, but still, they fucking won.
Like, the thing is, my question is, did they not have any generalized high-voltage signs at all?
Because I feel like a big-ass industrial yard would just have a sign saying that shit somewhere.
You think they would be?
Yeah, because you go to any place that's got a lot of high-powered wires.
They're not going to have a sign necessarily by the wire.
It's just going to be out at the, you know, next to the one telling you not to go in.
Along with that, the most amazing logo ever.
I'm sure you've seen it.
With the angry light, with like the angry lightning bolt, you know, like electrical demon attacking someone.
Look like a freaking electric beholder or some shit.
Yeah.
Why is there an uninsulated wire hanging above the train?
I mean, that opens the door to all sorts of problems.
Yeah, that begs the question of why is that a thing?
Like, we had a semi-uninsulated wire hanging above my house for a long time.
Which, yeah, I did live under power lines as a kid, I guess.
Fuck.
Oh, I've seen too many videos of these of kids going on tops of trains and touching the wires.
So fucking stupid.
But hey, what do you do?
You're bored?
I mean, at least they, like, survived and just learned a lesson from it.
And it just wasn't just like a tragic end or something.
It was just something.
And, you know, you probably are going to need some help getting by after burning 75% of your body.
So.
That almost sounds like a little bit of a pity judgment because they're like, well, we can interpret it this way.
Even though technically most of this stuff is usually null and void in the commission of a crime.
But we can probably lean on it this time.
Like frivolous or not, your life's not exactly great after that.
No.
But when you allow something like this to happen, it just sends a signal out for people to be like, okay, well, no trespassing sand.
That doesn't matter.
I'll go over there anyway.
I'll look for something to hurt me and then I can sue.
Yeah.
What's the point?
And see, that's the problem is people are going to hope for like, are going to shoot for like non non-like debilitating injuries so they can go ahead and sue for a payout.
And that's the real risk here.
And probably what they're, and probably a can of worms that they were afraid of opening up when they did it, even.
Well, you know, like, unless they're one of those ones that just like lets people out just because.
Most of those don't seem like they ever have moments of reflection.
No.
They survived, and hopefully they're doing well.
Like, what, 23 years later?
Yeah, I'm hoping liability or not, that was a valuable lesson that you almost died and don't do things like that.
Don't do things like that.
Like, that's the real trick.
You know, you win the lawsuit, you still lose against nature.
Nature always wins.
Nature will always fucking win.
The court will not.
We had those two teenagers, but here's another set of teenagers.
On July 31st, 2004, two Colorado teenagers, Taylor Ostergaard and Lindsay Zalidi, opted to forego attending a dance in favor of baking cookies for their neighbors.
Good kids.
Desiring to keep their charitable actions anonymous, the girls knocked on the doors of nearby residences and quickly fled, leaving behind packages adorned with heart-shaped gift tags that stated, quote, have a great night from the TNL Club.
End quote.
How horrifying.
Truly sock shocks the soul, doesn't it?
Certainly does.
I wouldn't accept any random gift on my fucking porch, dude.
I mean, I would be a little questioning of it, but I don't feel like I would declare it an emergency.
No.
If my neighbors gave me some free food.
But if I ever see something that says, have a great night, I'm not opening that fucking present.
Well, I'd be really disappointed if there wasn't any weed in it.
True, it better been some joints or something.
Hey, come on.
Wait, you just gave me brownies?
These are just brownies?
What the hell?
Yeah, where's the fun?
I can buy these.
I can make these.
And so at 10:30 p.m., they approached the residence of Juanita Renee Young.
Alarmed by the shadowy figures on her porch, the 49-year-old woman contacted the police, who arrived to find no evidence of any criminal activity.
Nevertheless, the incident reportedly triggered an anxiety attack in Young, leading to her hospitalization the following day.
Ostragaard and Zalidi expressed their apologies to Young, and their families even offered to cover her medical expenses.
However, rather than forgiving the well-meaning teenagers spaking cookies, the upset woman chose to file a lawsuit against them.
She's clearly trying out to be a Disney villain or some shit.
Seriously.
She's like, I was actually going to just take them all and pelt and throw them at orphans later on.
Instead of toss them in the garbage.
Just throw them at their face.
Orphans?
Get off my lawn.
And so a judge in Durango awarded Young nearly $900 to cover her medical costs, but rejected her request for approximately $3,000 in punitive damages, which included compensation for lost wages and the installation of new motion sensor lights for her porch.
And following the ruling, which garnered national media attention, Ostragaard and Zelidi received contributions from across the United States to assist in settling their fucking fine.
Oh man.
$900?
I feel like if this would have happened now, like the same lady would have sued, won all of it, and then turned around and like ran to go fund me for fear for my life, need private security for the rest of my life.
Hundreds of people's children are getting to me.
I will never, I don't, I don't want any human being to come near me that isn't under my employ ever again.
I mean, when you look at this, Juanita Renee Young is pretty chill.
She's like, oh, it's only, she only requested $3,000.
Yeah.
Which back then would have been like $6,000.
Yeah, which isn't quite as like, you know, spiteful as you could be.
Hell no, she could have sued for like millions.
Yeah, when it comes to pumitive damage, I was going to say punitive damage, like, especially, you know, the old mental anguish.
Like, you know.
Yeah.
Someone leaving cookies on my doorstep destroyed my sense of fear forever.
It's a sense of safety forever.
Never again could I think to myself, I'm safe from random cookies showing up on my door.
Yeah, poor lady.
You know, like anybody that ever knocks on her door, if she's still alive, she's not going to answer it.
She's like, I need the automatic sentries.
I need the power washer for the pigeons that get caught by the automatic sentries.
Yeah.
That leads us straight to number four here.
A comprehensive list of absurd lawsuits would not be complete without mentioning the case of Stella Liebick, a woman from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who accidentally spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee on her lap while seated in the passenger side of a stationary vehicle.
I know all of you guys have heard this by now.
Well, most of you have heard this.
But consequently, the 79-year-old woman sustained third-degree burns on her groin in her thighs and buttocks, leading to a seven-day hospitalization.
When she reached out to McDonald's for reimbursement of her medical expenses, the fast food chain opted to take legal action against her.
I did not know that part of the story.
Yeah, they counter-sued her ass.
They hit her with a str with Jay Calla slap lawsuit.
Strategic lawsuit against public participation.
That's what they made that law against.
That's fucked up.
Where you sue somebody basically because you hurt them and you just kind of know, like, in the same way, like, the divorce proceedings work, that if you're the one who takes the offense, you just might win anyways.
Right.
You're the first on the yeah, you're the first to file, so you have the upper hand.
First to file.
That means they listen to you first, and everything is filtered through you, and everything is a counter story to yours.
Following a week-long trial, the jury awarded Liebig $160,000 in compensatory damages and $2.7 million in punitive damages, although a court later reduced that amount to $480,000.
McDonald's like, that's way too much.
We can't afford this.
I think that was like an attempt to send a message and then they're like, okay, maybe not.
Yeah, that's kind of high.
That's pretty high there.
Although now it is.
$480,000 still hurts pretty bad.
It's a big chunk.
But man, now it is $2.7 million.
Like, that's like a typical lawsuit now, anywhere.
2.7 million wouldn't buy you a house some places these days.
Fuck, not around here.
Sad to say.
Not around here.
It's nuts.
And so, both parties subsequently filed appeals, and they ultimately reach an out-of-court settlement for an undisclosed sum.
And while the verdict sparked outrage among numerous Americans, others perceived her as a victim of circumstance.
There's actually a 2011 documentary called Hot Coffee that supports this lot of perspective, highlighting the alleged apathy exhibited by McDonald's executives regarding the burns caused by their coffee, as well as the public's misconceptions that arose during the trial.
McDonald's Coffee Fiasco00:01:25
Most notably, the erroneous belief that Liebick was driving and that the vehicle was in motion.
And regardless of one's opinion on the verdict, it is undeniable that Liebeck's lawsuit became one of the most notorious cases in recent history.
It served as fodder for numerous jokes by late-night comedians and was even spoofed in a 1995 episode of the beloved television series Seinfeld.
No soup for you!
And additionally, the case led to the establishment of the Stella Awards, which recognized particularly wild, outrageous, or ridiculous lawsuits.
Stella Awards?
Yeah, which is funny because actually the even more ridiculous lawsuit in this story is when McDonald sued her for getting hurt by their coffee.
Yeah.
Yeah, that is it.
That's so insane.
They tried to sue her for being injured.
By their coffee.
How dare you be hurt?
And it was because the coffee was like 180 degrees.
And the normal coffee is supposed to be like 140 or 120.
Dealing with Extreme Heat00:08:01
But theirs was 180.
And apparently they were even like warned before this situation that their coffee was too hot and they needed to make it not so hot.
But they didn't.
Oh, yeah.
They didn't heed these warnings.
Well, plus, you got to keep in mind, like, liquids, because of that magical thing, specific gravity and liquids being so heavy on that means that just a few degrees of temperature hotter, like 20 or 30, can represent a significant amount of heat color or heat being pushed into your hand when you touch that sucker.
Yeah, dude.
Like, you put your hand in 180-degree air.
It is a world of difference from putting your hand in 180-degree water.
Oh, yeah, 100%.
100%, because you can go into a sauna.
Like, that air will burn you eventually.
Like, that water will straight up slough the skin off.
Yeah, like, people regularly sit in saunas at, I don't know, probably like around 100 and something degrees.
But then you go into water like that, no, you're not coming out of there uninjured.
Oh, yeah, with the air that hot, you know, you get hot, you get warm and woozy and stuff.
You know, it doesn't, like, burn your flesh.
No.
Like, but, but then again, if, like, it started raining that temperature of water in the sauna.
Yeah, you better get out of there.
You're gonna get fucked up.
Which brings us to number five.
The weather is a notoriously unpredictable phenomenon.
However, in the Netherlands, one can almost always expect rain regardless of the season.
I don't know, I was there once and it didn't rain much at all.
I was there for a couple months.
In contrast, weather forecasters in Israel must be particularly vigilant with their forecasts.
A woman successfully filed a lawsuit against a weather station for $1,000 after an erroneous prediction resulted in her developing a cold.
Some sniffles.
Oh, an erroneous prediction.
Well, I mean, if you're, as I say, if you're predicting against rain, I feel like you're almost betting against the odds at that place.
Seriously.
Like, you know, I mean, I visited Seattle once and seven days out of eight, it didn't rain, but I would still not recommend that you go there for a nice sunny, you know, vacation.
No, dude.
I would recommend literally anywhere else.
Like, I just got incredibly lucky and found that like eight out of 60 days of the year they get with sun.
Yeah, it's pretty nuts.
I lived in Tawhill.
This happened to come in a row for me.
I lived on Paulsville Island across the Puget Sound from Seattle, and that was years ago.
But man, it didn't really rain that much.
Everyone thinks Seattle's like this insanely crazy wet area.
It's kind of not.
Yeah, it tends to higher rain.
Like I've been in, I spent a lot of time in like the Seattle, not Seattle, but the Washington region.
Like the, like, you know, all the lovely nothing towns, like, there with like a few hundred people where like us can all out where it's like, where even the hell is that?
Yeah.
And it rained a lot.
But at the same time, it's like you said, it's not as extreme.
It's more so that it's just almost always cloudy.
That was more so it.
Right.
just didn't get a lot of sunny days it was just usually you didn't really so because i guess technically it's not so much that we got like always rain It was that we got mostly cloudy days and a lot of rain.
Yeah, that's how it is.
It's cloudy there all the time.
The precipitation comes and goes.
Yeah, overcast.
Yeah, I got lucky and got a bunch of sunny days, but I would still not recommend it.
I would hate to live there again.
Anyways, in this story, the plaintiff claimed that she dressed lightly based on the forecast of pleasant weather.
Consequently, she contracted the flu, missed a week of work, and incurred significant expenses on medication.
I mean, how you get sick with the flu?
What kind of significant expenses on medication is that?
You had to go get some pseudo-fed.
As far as I was, yep.
As far as I was concerned, if this woman won, then that old lady should have won against that one guy.
He should have had to come or he should have, that one weather prediction guy should have had to come shovel those two feet of partly cloudy out of off of her driveway.
They should have forced that.
Yeah, the weather forecast got it.
Should have made him do it.
Be like, nope, those are the rules.
You screw up a prediction.
You got to deal with the consequences.
Be like, oh, they missed work.
You got to pay for their workday now.
It's insane that that even went to court and won, though.
Like, what the fuck?
I feel like, yeah, I feel like if this is a widespread problem, like people getting sued for this, nobody would predict the weather.
It's so damn unpredictable.
Like, even with supposedly all this, like, amazing scientific, you know, drone technology and AI predictive modeling and all this shit.
We're still wrong all the damn time.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I swear, like, is it that the machines just kind of look at like our like variable reality and they're just like, what do you mean?
It's, you only crystallize it into one place.
We're trying to see.
We're trying to pinpoint where you're at.
Well, nowadays, like, the government can easily predict where the rains are going to be.
If they're not making the predictions happen.
That's what I'm saying.
They're the ones causing it.
fucking cloud seeding and all sorts of shit.
I mean, honestly, if you think a particular prayer to, like, a particular deity or something could cause rain, I mean...
Do a rain dance?
Really?
Realistically, that's just that's just as I mean, that's like just as plausible in terms of like reality bending, honestly, as freaking that you can make weather happen.
So like the fact that people don't think the government can control weather when like people can control weather.
Right.
Like our thoughts.
Like we can bend our own reality.
Technically, we could cause these things if we actually wanted to like and had like some kind of concerted effort for us.
So it's like it's weird to me that people then go on being like, no, this like larger collective group of like hive-minded humans couldn't come up with this thing though.
And I'm like, but how couldn't they?
Like, you know.
Well, there's that one dude who...
The trouble is, is people like always discount everything.
They're like, oh, I predicted that.
But, you know, now that it happened, I didn't really make cap.
There's that one guy who could.
He even filmed it.
He's like, I'm going to make a rainbow.
Watch.
And he started doing something and a rainbow appeared.
Oh, no, was it UFOs?
He's like, I can contact UFOs.
Watch.
That's what it was.
UFOs.
Make the orbs appear, I think he predicted.
Yeah, and he did some things and like they appeared and it was like, I told you.
That was kind of weird shit.
Well, I mean, technically, in the old, or like all the ancient accounts of sightings of elves and pixies and fairies and stuff, they always see these like small humanoid creatures doing these odd dances and then jumping into holes and like rifts in the earth and stuff and disappearing.
Weird.
Effectively opening portals and then entering them, like, but being described by somebody who doesn't understand what any of that stuff is.
I think that's what CERN is.
So they're basically like, we see these weird little people doing a dance.
I think CERN is trying to open portals.
That's the whole point.
And they're making a bigger one and a bigger one and a bigger one.
Yeah, see, what turned me around on believing this stuff was possible and real is seeing just how many people with a whole lot of intelligence and power do believe it with a lot of force.
That's true.
So it's like, you know, you can disbelieve it, but the people that believe it, their beliefs are, they believe it a lot stronger than you don't.
Yeah, that's.
Because subconsciously, you actually don't.
And they have a lot of money behind them to make their things happen.
Billionaires and Astrology00:04:31
Well, yeah, they can manipulate other people's subconscious, too.
So they have a bit of an advantage on top of just being more fervent in their beliefs.
Yeah, like millionaires say.
They have a lot of other people who believe for expense reasons.
Millionaires say they don't believe in astrology, but billionaires say that they do.
That came out of a billionaire's mouth.
Yeah, millionaires don't believe.
Or I was going to say billionaires don't believe in astrology because they don't want millionaires to.
Yeah, right.
So let's go to number six here.
Attending a strip club is often regarded as a customary activity during bachelor parties.
However, for Paul Shimconis from Florida, his bachelor celebration in 1998 resulted in an injury.
He alleged that he suffered whiplash after a stripper at Diamond Dolls, a club located in Clearwater, struck his head with her breasts.
This is no joke.
This is real.
I feel like you should let that slide just to have the monumental memory of being able to claim that you had whiplash from oversized boobs.
Yeah, but now that he did this, it's in the record books.
I feel like that.
I feel like that alone is like the street cred claim, like easily worth enough money to not sue over.
Come on.
Yeah, these were notably large breasts.
Like notably large, weighing approximately 60 HHH, whatever that means.
Whatever that means, they're big, though.
Certainly considerable weight.
And subsequently, Shimkonis.
60.
Oh, wow.
I haven't seen Triple H in a while.
I dated somebody that's Triple H. I know what that size is.
Triple H?
It could occur naturally.
It's on the extremely large end of natural, obviously.
You don't get natural ones that stand up by any means.
I mean, I thought it went to double D and that was like all that was humanly possible.
No, no, Triple H is a, that's within the human realm of possibility.
Granted, the extreme high end.
Holy hell.
But we'll just say that, you know, I used to joke, like, you can't be fat of 40% of it's in your titties.
You know, those are too big.
Come on.
More than a third of your weight is being carried between your chest.
Come on.
Too big.
How much can you expect to lose and not lose those?
How are you a dancer?
Like, your back has got to be killing you.
I mean, the answer is, like most exotic dancers, probably incredibly powerful.
Because, yeah, you don't do that kind of career without, well, I mean, you don't dance for four straight hours without having pretty strong legs.
But you don't flip upside down and do spins.
Yeah.
No, maybe, maybe she gets away without doing spins by dint of, you know, by dint of being equipped with a slingshot, you know, on her chest.
No shit, dude.
And so subsequently, Shimkonis filed a lawsuit against the club for $15,000, citing the mental anguish.
Oh, the anguish that he endured after being struck in the head by what he compared to cement blocks.
In the end, he lost a lawsuit, though.
But demonstrating good sportsmanship, he and the club appeared on the television program The People's Court to resolve their dispute.
And ultimately, Shimkonis faced defeat once more.
So that's a losing case.
But damn.
Be like, Your Honor, I would like to just say, wouldn't that be freaking awesome?
Would you not want to brag that that happened to you?
Right.
Judge Judy is just like, what am I doing here?
They're just like, we'll settle for you, but your man card will be revoked.
And he's like, I can't give that up.
Yeah, that's not going anywhere.
He's like, I got injured by a stripper.
I can't give up my man card now.
I'm going to have to go watch that episode.
I want to see Judge Judy's face.
That's who did that show, right?
Judge Judy.
People's court.
You say cement blocks.
Like, they struck you like cement blocks.
Can you describe the angle and velocity with which they struck your neck?
Well, let's just recreate this in the courtroom right now.
Let's see how this happened.
I was about to say, did they reproduce the incident?
If I was a judge, I would have to see it.
I'd have to see how it took place.
FedEx Mishap and Surgery00:15:23
Your Honor, I would argue that the 15-minute lap dance is superfluous and does not be included, and they are like overruled, relevant to you.
Bring out a poll.
No worries, Judge.
We've got one right here in your chambers.
You have to know what state of mind the subject was in prior to the incident.
Unfortunately, he won.
I mean, lost.
That sucks.
Be like, we got another dozen of them.
Just send them out to the jury.
Make sure they know what's up.
And now we get to story seven.
Let's see here.
A woman from Massachusetts has filed a lawsuit against FedEx, alleging that the company erroneously delivered a package containing seven pounds of marijuana to her address and subsequently provided her address to the intended recipients who later arrived at her residence.
Now this happens all the time.
People using whatever, dark web, will buy things, whatever, and send it to a neighbor's address, and they'll watch and see when it gets dropped off and they'll go and grab it.
But this, this is different.
So Mary Angela Tobin, a resident of Plymouth, stated in the lawsuit submitted on February 12th that by revealing her address, FedEx breached state privacy regulations and jeopardized the safety of herself and her children.
Quote, I feel as though the safety of my daughters and myself has been compromised, complicating our situation.
I am the one who enters my house first each time.
My children do not, she expressed in an interview with WBZ-TV.
So the first one to enter the house each time.
But uh, wait, what?
How does that matter?
Tobin initially believed the package contained a birthday gift for her daughter, as upon opening it, she discovered candles, pixie sticks, and peppermint.
Additionally, there was an item she assumed was just potpourri, which turned out to be marijuana.
And approximately an hour later, a man knocked in her door in search of the package, while two other men waited in a vehicle parked in her driveway.
That's pretty sketch.
Pretty sketch.
Now she informed him that she did not possess the package she was looking for and then quickly shut and locked the door.
Tobin asserts that FedEx disclosed her address, which resulted in the man arriving at her home.
Although police apprehended one individual, Tobin expressed her concerns regarding potential retaliation.
FedEx, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, stated that it does not provide comments on ongoing legal matters.
Well, sounds like, I was going to say, sounds like a soccer mom type.
Like, oh, it must just be potpourri.
Totally.
Be like, I used the tea that you pixie sticks candles.
Grandma's boy.
Yeah.
She would have wanted us to share it together.
Grandma, what?
My grandma drank my pot.
Great fucking movie.
Yeah, that's it.
That's too classy.
Like, uh, the thing that the king kind of sticks out to me is, why did they give out her address but take the package back?
Yeah, what happened to the package?
What kind of sense does that make?
Like, oh, yeah, we delivered it to this address.
And it's like, well, if it's already back at your freaking like destination, why the hell did you tell them to go there?
Like, just give them the damn package.
That's a dangerous situation.
Which, you know, if it's any, like, which, you know, if it's not involving seven pounds of probably not recreational weed.
Because I'm guessing you're not mailing seven pounds of weed and getting arrested for it in a place that allows it.
Well, no weed.
You can't mail that shit, though.
Oh, yeah, you still can't mail it because of the federal bullshit.
So even if you mailed it to a freaking full-on legalization state, you'd still screw yourself.
I bet her daughters are pissed.
Like, mom, that was a bunch of weed.
Fuck.
Yeah, you could have not said anything.
And probably gotten, well, I mean, probably would have gotten like, forget a home evasion or something shit.
Yeah, something would have happened.
I'm guessing they probably specified that address and meant to intercept.
Something would have happened with these guys.
Like, if you're sending seven pounds of marijuana through the mail, you've been doing it before.
You're going to do it again.
Like, these aren't just some randos who don't know what they're doing.
Like, that'd fuck you up.
Because, like, how did you not make sure you were the person to be there to get that?
But apparently, I don't know, since FedEx didn't provide any comments on the legal matters, ongoing legal matters, we can only assume what happened here, and she probably won out of court.
FedEx, maybe.
Maybe.
hmm well looks like it looks like we lost cricket so i am going to just continue this Let's see.
Number eight here.
Two individuals from Michigan, Joseph Shields and Thomas Rinks, initiated legal action against Taco Bell, alleging that the fast food chain appropriated their concept for the well-known Yokiro Taco Bell Chihuahua character.
The individuals had previously presented their psycho Chihuahua character idea to Taco Bell and its advertising agency several years prior.
Initially, Taco Bell rejected the proposal but subsequently developed their own rendition featuring a voice that closely resembled the original.
The verdict?
The jury concluded that Taco Bell had violated an implied contract.
And as a result, the plaintiffs were awarded a total of $42 million for the misappropriated idea.
And cricket is back.
Yay, I made it back.
What the hell happened there?
So the Yukero Taco Bell guy was not original.
Yep, now I see you.
Now I hear you.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, it's because I'm at like 40%.
Okay, it's going up now.
And cricket is officially back.
Should be better.
We only got through one story here.
So number nine.
We're on number nine now.
Yay.
In 2012, dude, 42 mil.
That's insane.
42 million.
That's a dollar is pretty good for an implied contract.
Insane.
Yo Kiro Taco Bell.
Remember that Chihuahua character, all those commercials back in the day?
Yeah.
Hell yeah, of course.
You don't see it anymore.
Yeah, I remember they had to use a lady dog because otherwise, you know, their balls would be in like 90% of the shot.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Good times.
So, number nine here.
In 2012, an individual in California initiated a lawsuit asserting that his quote-unquote good looks were the source of harassment and discrimination, which hindered his ability to maintain employment.
The plaintiff put forth a substantial case concerning mental health and disability.
He contended that his physical appearance resulted in quote-unquote reverse discrimination in the workplace and that he was experiencing significant psychological distress.
Just so beautiful.
The court regarded the plaintiff's mental health claims with gravity.
The individual prevailed, though, in his lawsuit, and obtained a settlement that encompassed psychological counseling and monetary compensation of an unknown amount.
How do I deal with being so damn sexy?
Dude, the narcissism there is just outrageous.
Like, talk about finding a problem no matter where.
Holy crap.
Seriously.
There's a problem.
I'm too beautiful.
Everyone hits on me.
Okay.
How are you not understanding that you're just enraging everyone you're complaining about this too?
Dude, yeah.
And the twist of the story is the person, the plaintiff in this was Gavin Newsome.
I could see that motherfucker doing something like that, dude.
Piece of shit.
He was then mistaken for an ivory statue of himself.
I can't tell the difference.
One of them looks a little bit more alive and human.
Sues a statue looking like him.
The other one looks alive.
Yeah.
Fucking asshole.
All right, number 10.
To work as a firefighter, one must frequently approach fires.
This posed a significant challenge for Shane Proller, a firefighter from Houston, Texas, who consistently struggled to fulfill his responsibilities due to an overwhelming fear of fire.
Nevertheless, the Houston Fire Department exhibited a surprising level of understanding.
Although they were unable to retain Prohor in the fire suppression team, they reassigned him to the training academy, allowing him to maintain his employment.
This arrangement did not sit well with Proller, who felt he was entitled to his former position.
Consequently, he filed a lawsuit against the fire department, alleging discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Proller asserted that he was being discriminated against because of his disability stemming from his fear of fire.
Initially, he was awarded $362,000 in damages.
However, after several appeals, his case ultimately reached the Texas Supreme Court, which determined that Prohor did not qualify as disabled.
Being a coward isn't a disability.
Seriously, dude.
This asshat.
For some reason, I think this was a just get a different job, man.
How do you even get onto a fire fucking firefighting position in a fire station when you have a fear of a fire?
What pos like what the fuck?
What possesses you to apply?
Exactly.
In the first place, why would you think to do that?
Exactly.
Makes no sense.
Again, it was fucking Gavin Newsome.
He's like, you know what?
I'm really scared of is holding political office.
Terrifies me.
They're like, oh, yeah, well, we'll give you that right now.
You're now the governor.
He's like, I'm in the process of suing the state of California for electing me.
I'm terrified of holding power.
Fuck.
He probably will do that.
He probably will sue California.
It brought me great pain and suffering when people said mean things about my governance.
Yeah.
You're responsible for my feelings.
Give me money.
Now what's funny about this case here is the court's decision compared his situation to that of a shorter basketball player who fails to make the championship team.
He would not be considered disabled, merely shorter.
So not being as tall is not a disability.
Boy Veg.
Unreal, man.
No.
No, it's not.
Unreal.
This next one's pretty fucking crazy.
So it's kind of sad, actually, to tell you the truth.
That last one was great.
Fucking terrific.
I swear that's Gavin Newsome.
I hope it was.
So I think it was, dude.
This next one here, again, like I said, it's sad.
So Jodi and Mary were born with spines that were fused together and shared essential organs, including Jodi's heart and lungs.
Without surgical intervention, both twins were expected to die.
The operation provided Jodi with an opportunity for a typical life.
And although it would be lethal for Mary, they'd have to go through with it.
Now, the High Court of the UK and the Court of Appeal determined that the surgery, it had to go ahead.
It had to go ahead.
Notwithstanding the protest from the twins'parents, though.
Now, the judicial bodies concluded that it was...
That's a hard one.
It is very hard.
The judicial bodies concluded that it was in the twins' best interest to afford Jodi, who had the potential for an independent existence, a chance at life, even if it necessitated the sacrifice of Mary's life.
Isn't that fucked up?
You're alive because your sister sacrificed your sister was sacrificed.
God, that'd be messed up.
It's fucking gnarly.
I was just like, why was there originally a dual birth announcement?
And they're like, oh, we're going to have to sit down for this one.
Yeah.
It's fucked up, dude.
Imagine having that talk.
Oh, for real.
Like, why isn't my sister around anymore?
Oh, you know, this is why you're here, by the way.
Damn.
So following the legal ruling, a 20-hour surgical procedure was conducted to separate the twins.
Unfortunately, as said, like Mary died.
That was going to happen.
She died during the separation surgery.
And Jodi's survival, she recuperated from the surgery and was ultimately taken home by her parents, where she now leads a healthy and relatively normal life.
And in this case, like other cases like this, usually one twin has more of a chance to live than the other.
And usually one is like pretty deformed because it's more of like just surviving on the other one.
Like a, I don't want to say it, like a parasite.
And that's kind of the case here.
Yeah, generally whichever one was like doing the car meric thing and like forming off of the other is usually the one that doesn't end up surviving in these scenarios.
It's it kind of happens.
It happens a lot.
It's sad.
It sucks.
But who sued somebody in this one is my question.
Well, the high court of the UK and the court of appeal determined that the surgery could go ahead.
So the parents protested.
The parents were like, no, this can't happen.
And then the high court itself and the court of appeal were like, well, no, this is going to happen.
So the parents, they sued the country, state, whatever the fuck, UK, wherever this was.
Boy, that's actually a really hard one because it's like, you know, what if it wasn't really a 100% chance that they were both going to die?
Yeah.
What if they could have lived like, you know, some kind of like tandem life?
Yeah, it happens a lot.
Had they not taken this route.
Right.
But instead, they forced him to do it.
Very heavy story.
All right, number 12.
Subway serves as the preferred quick stop for those who prioritize health.
I know I do.
Establishing itself as the largest chain globally.
Because, you know, when I'm thinking health, I'm thinking Subway.
Nevertheless, one patron's experience at Subway did not align with his expectations.
He found a serrated sandwich knife embedded in his sandwich red.
Okay?
In the bread.
So it seems on that day he chose New York Subway.
Yes.
Oh, shit.
No.
Terrible.
It stays.
Fortunately, he noticed the unexpected object prior to taking a bite of the sandwich.
The individual did not sustain any cusser injuries from the knife.
However, he asserted that the contaminated item led to illness from another component of the sandwich.
And he subsequently filed a lawsuit against Subway for $1 million and ultimately received $20,000.
Yeah, you win some, you lose some.
Did he get to keep the blade?
That's what I'm wondering.
My question is, how did it make him sick?
Did he eat the sandwich after taking the knife out?
Because I feel like I would demand a new sandwich.
Dude, good point.
Like, I want a new sandwich.
This one has blade in it.
Like, I would bring it up to them and be like, dude, what the fuck is this?
There's a blade in my bread.
Defective Entrance Entrapment00:14:02
I don't want this sandwich.
Make me another sandwich.
Yeah.
But no, this guy's just like, oh, I'll eat it.
Yeah.
I expect this on the tube, not in the subway.
Normally, I expect this knife in my back, not in my sandwich.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
This is New York.
Damn it.
We have priorities and we have dignity.
Things have their places.
Your audio cut out again, dude.
Don't fucking tell me this happened again.
Okay, there you are.
Are you there?
No, I'm just close skipping still.
So much for being closer to the Wi-Fi.
We'll fix things.
All right.
Well, you're here.
I hear you.
All right.
All right, 13.
Magically, I am still here.
Los Angeles custodian Charles Bigby was unaware that a simple phone call would jeopardize his life.
In this instance, the risk was particularly pronounced.
After completing his night shift, Bigby visited a nearby phone booth to make a call.
This booth was situated between a liquor store and a bustling street, placing Bigby in a precarious situation.
As he was concluding his call, a drunk driver veered off the road and crashed directly into the phone booth.
Despite seeing the vehicle approaching, Bigby was unable to open the booth to escape.
He sustained life-altering injuries that rendered him unable to work.
Bigby sought compensation from the driver's insurance company and the bar, in accordance with dram shop liability laws.
Nevertheless, the $25,000 he received fell short of covering his medical expenses.
$25,000, dude.
What the fuck are you doing?
Furthermore.
$25K.
That's all.
I mean, you were effectively crushed inside a soda bottle.
Yeah, for real.
That's all he got.
That's crazy.
Furthermore, he faced a loss of income due to his inability to work as a result of his injuries.
His attorney uncovered that another incident had taken place at the same phone booth 20 months before Bigby's accident.
And that previous accident had destroyed the phone booth, yet the company replaced it with a new one that featured a defective entrance, which ultimately trapped Big B inside.
You're like, oh, this is a perfect spot to put another phone booth.
A defective entrance.
Oh my god, a defective entrance.
Okay, I see.
Okay, because I was about to say, like, yeah, you know, it's in a dangerous spot, but short of someone saying something beforehand, like, how the hell is it their fault?
So they actually entrapped the dude inside of it.
It's fucked up.
But wouldn't it be a defective exit?
Because he couldn't get out.
He got in just fine, but he couldn't get out.
effective exit so so basically there's some kind of i guess there must be some kind of defect on it where pretty much like however he opens it from the inside is easy but the same method from the or sorry from the outside is easy but same method from the inside not so much I've seen it happen when, you know, like you're dealing with like an old door or something where it's warping and you can open it from one side just fine.
That's a struggle other way.
Well, remember those old phone booths?
They had like folding doors.
It would slide over and it would just kind of fold in half.
And I remember if you're in one, it would have to fold inwards, like push you in more before you could actually open it.
Yeah, my guess is it was probably the little track thing that has to kind of accordion up when it folds over to slide like that.
Right.
It's probably what got caught because I've used those old phone books or phone booths at some point.
God, I feel old just knowing they exist, even.
I know.
And yeah, like, they are kind of notorious for you getting stuck inside of them, which, if you have claustrophobia, can lead to a lovely panic attack.
Oh, dude, yeah.
Get stuck in one of those.
There's a whole movie.
But what is his name?
I forget his name.
There's a whole movie called Phone Booth where the dude's in the phone booth the whole fucking time.
Right.
Remember this movie?
What the hell was this?
I've heard of it, actually.
Yeah, it was back in like probably 99.
Anytime I think of being stuck in a phone booth, I always remember that scene from the birds.
Oh, yeah.
They're all hiding in the phone booth as they're slamming into them from all sides and shit.
Yeah, that actress was actually like scarred for life from doing that movie.
I know, like, shockingly, a dude who likes psychological horror and jump scares likes to psychologically horrify a jump scare actress.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, she was scarred.
It's almost like his heart really was in it.
That guy had no fucks given.
He was like, this is what I want.
Yeah, he's like, I just like to fuck with people just cuz.
Like, but what does this have to do with the movie?
And he's just like, what do you mean, movie?
Right?
This is my personal pleasure.
I have these people in my power right now.
I don't give a shit about no movie.
So in the end here, the company, it was fully cognizant of the hazards, but they just put the phone booth there anyway.
And Bisbee Bigby subsequently filed a lawsuit against them and secured an undisclosed settlement in 1986.
So he sued him again after his attorney found that there was another accident just prior to that one.
So he probably got a lot more than 25,000.
Yeah, like the 25,000 was probably just like a default liability judgment.
Like effectively, you know, you let this happen.
You didn't like throw up your magic force field to stop the vehicle from hurting somebody.
That sort of thing.
Yeah.
And then they found out, oh, wait, you're actually climbingly negligent.
Right.
Okay, well, this might be a little bit more now.
Like, I'm guessing that undisclosed settlement probably really dwarfed that 25k.
Oh, dude, it has to.
He's at least a million.
All the fucking money because he can't work anymore.
Yeah, that's way up there.
Yeah.
But again, this is 1986.
Yeah.
And like, people always like mock the pain and suffering when people just have like scary incidents, but I feel like being crashed inside of like effectively a giant soda bottle would be rather traumatizing.
And I could argue that's a lot of suffering along with the pain.
Yeah, true.
So this next one here, this is kind of sad.
So an American advertising executive sought to sue her employer for 3.9 million pounds, alleging that he had compared her appearance to that of the singer Susan Boyle.
You guys remember who that is?
She was in like America's Got Talent or whatever those shows were back in the day, which still happened.
But Susan Boyle had like no, she wasn't a good singer, and they made fun of her a lot, but she still got a record deal after the show because they made fun of her so much.
But the woman here, she stated that she was so distressed by this comparison that she initiated legal action.
Her employer reportedly ridiculed her regarding her age and weight, even going so far as to say in front of others, quote, Batty here is having another cupcake, end quote.
He also allegedly labeled her as worthless, overpaid, and suggested that her time at the company was limited.
She asserted that as a result of these verbal attacks, she began experiencing severe anxiety, headaches, insomnia, tremors, and elevated blood pressure.
Her medical professionals corroborated her claims, indicating that these issues contributed to a near-fatal brain hemorrhage.
Ultimately, she emerged victorious in her case, an undisclosed amount.
Good God, it just really goes to show you that if you pay enough, you'll stick with anything.
Holy shit, like, why not just get another damn job?
Which doesn't involve literally stressing you to almost to death.
Wow.
Yeah, sad.
That shit got compared to Susan Boyle.
Susan Boyle is not a terrible-looking woman.
She just has a terrible singing voice.
Well, I was thinking to myself, like, I didn't know who Susan Boyle was, but I was like, is she really that bad looking that it would give you severe anxiety?
I mean, she's like your great grandma, essentially.
I've got a feeling that was probably just the mainest thing that they could officially corroborate.
Right.
They probably said a whole lot of low-level digs that just never got recorded officially.
Yeah, oh, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
And what's this next one here?
In 2008, an Illinois resident named Guyan Zokribov, aged 58, attempted to file a lawsuit against the estate of Hiroki Joho, an 18-year-old who tragically lost his life in a train accident.
While trying to board an inbound metra train, Joho dashed across the tracks and was hit by the Amtrak train traveling at 70 miles per hour.
Portions of Joho's deceased body impacted Zokrobov as she stood on a nearby train platform, resulting in injuries to her shoulder, wrist, and leg.
The lower court judge dismissed this morbidly unusual case, asserting that the young man could not have foreseen where his body would land since he was deceased.
However...
She sued the dead guy?
I guess.
However, an appeals court later disagreed, stating that it was, quote-unquote, reasonably foreseeable that a high-speed train could fatally injure Joho and propel his dismembered body parts into the crowd for a waiting crowd of waiting passengers.
That's pretty nuts.
Wow.
Like, I feel like you would shut down that argument just by asking, like, which part of him do you want to address?
Like, is it going to be the upper torso?
Like, are you suing the upper torso, the top part of his head?
Like, what the hell, man?
Like, he hit you with his body part.
How could that be foreseen?
Like, that doesn't sound like a really conscious and intentional action.
Yeah, like, I feel like being hit by a train and unforeseen are kind of necessarily hand in hand most of the time.
Like, this doesn't sound like it was a suicide attempt.
Like, he was just trying to do, try to get over there and, well, decided to stupidly run across the tracks.
Don't do that, by the way.
No, that's stupid.
Really stupid.
But, yeah, wow.
Like, somebody else had an episode of Final Destination, and some of their viscera hit somebody else, and they thought, how can I be the main character in this story?
Pretty ridiculous.
Wow.
Pretty fucking ridiculous.
All right, so some of those people, I'm glad they won.
Some of those people, I don't know how the hell they won.
The last person, I'm not exactly sure what part of him they would have won against.
Yeah.
It's just kind of fucked up.
If you settle against him, are you like, you know, the piles?
Like, this, like, dead is addressed to the piles of this person?
What the hell, dude?
Like, I'm assuming next of kid or something?
Like, whoa.
Against the estate.
So they filed a lawsuit against the dead kid's estate.
So it's family, essentially.
Yeah, it's just like...
Suit his family.
That's...
That's fucked up.
Yeah, like, I was...
Jesus Christ, your kid gets killed by a train and some asshole bitch...
Fucking, what's her name here?
Zabrabov, whatever, decides to sue you.
Your family are surviving members because your loved one is killed by a train?
Like, that's fucked up.
Yeah, like, oh, yeah, I know that was a tragedy and everything, but did you think about how upsetting it was when his body parts hit me?
Well, you better start thinking because I'm suing there.
So they did, they essentially just placed the blame because the train was coming and this kid dashes across the tracks and the things are probably down or whatever the fuck.
I don't know how this works, but you don't dash in front of a train.
I mean, I feel like all of the blame can be laid upon Sir Isaac Newton for creating the principles of gravitation.
Maybe Johannes Kepler for, you know, the principles of force and the principles of force.
Like, let's just go back and sue physics itself while we're at it here.
Since we're apparently suing somebody's dead body for hitting somebody.
Oh shit.
Sue science.
Let's just sue physics while we're at it.
Sue the estate of physics.
Be like, I'm sorry, I'm looking for the man in charge of the science.
Illinois.
Be like, no, Fauci has retired.
The new science man.
Whatever happened to Anthony Fauci.
What's he doing these days?
Hopefully not taking ownership of any more puppies.
Oh, God.
Yeah, he was like a freaking mangele, whatever the fuck.
Yeah, he did some crazy animal testing before he did all kinds of other things that he is also known for.
And even became the villain of, what was it, that movie?
Glengary Glen Ross or whatever?
What movie is that?
It was a movie about the real estate boom and the AIDS epidemic.
Oh, okay.
Or no, no, no, that wasn't it.
Wrong movie.
Glengary Glen Ross was the real estate.
But it was real estate also.
Dallas Buyers Club.
He was the villain of that movie.
Oh.
McConaughey movie.
Yeah, was apparently the old Fauci from back in the day.
Because that's how long the deep state stays, man.
they keep their jobs forever because when you serve you I was going to say it, because when you serve the serpent, well, you serve the serpent forever.
That's true.
That's why they're allowed to wear IDF outfits in Congress now.
Yeah, and that's why you got to always distrust the government.
Because in the end, even if you might, yep, even in the end, if you think you got your guy, your guy's got a whole lot of other guys to either answer to or for, or they're just going to ignore him.
Thank You For Listening00:00:22
Or if he was honest, they might just take him out.
