You should see him.
So I've got a couple things.
I'm just gonna break it downon the beginning of this one.
We're going to do kind of a short one,I think this time,
but like a condensed, brief homie sesh.

Listen to it.Kind of like this one. Three hours long.
We sat for nine hours, and then we try towhittle it down to about six and a half.

So it's spooky season.
There's a couple of thingsthat I'm gonna talk about.
(01:07):
I'm going to talk about the,updates of the, Titan
submarine instance, because that'sall going to court right now.
Oh, so you remember about that,the Titan cookie submarine.
Submarine?
That was likethe offshoot of the Beatles.
It was that.
You remember that Titan shipthat went down to go, remember? Yep.

And now it's all going to courtand some shit's going down.
So I'm gonna talk about that a little bit.
And then I also got, some stuff about.
That's why I'm drinking it here.
Yeager, it's my October juice. I love it.
I love it.I know, you know, you've got a problem.
I got a problem with Yeager, man.
And then I also have one more thing about,
Oh, yeah.
(01:50):
Just a funny story about,people on a plane and an x rated movie
was played for an hour to every screen.
Don't give it all away. That's just.
That's the story. It was.
Yeah. Well,I just mentioned it, and then that was it.
Yeah. What do you got?
What do you got to bring to this episode?
We got a new, segment for Spooky seasonthat I like to call.
(02:11):
These are my villains.
These are my these are my.These are my villains.
Nice.
And, we're just going to go over
a real piece of shitwhenever I think of doing one.
No, I like that. That's cool.
Find somebody from historywho's done some terrible things.
And, the iron blue.
Who's that again?
Well, it was a contraption.Or it was a thing.
It was a thing that we talked about thatit was sort of.
(02:33):
These are my villain type would use.
Would you write?
But it sounded like a Mexican wrestler.
Yes. The iron.
Yes. Yes. Yeah. It was.
Cracks me up to this day.
But thinking about that,that little segment, look it up.
It's on our Instagram.
Cool.
Okay, so do you want to go into these
villains firstor you want to go with a little. Oh, good.
Okay, cool.
And that is this episode.
(02:54):
So these are my these are my these are mythese are my friend.
Thank you.
All right, so passengersleft speechless after X rated
movieis played on every screen during flight.
Yeah, that was speechless.
So Qantas Airways flight Qantas
Kiwi antes doesn't matterbut Qantas Qantas Airways flight
(03:15):
played an X rated movie on every screenwhich was impossible to turn off.
It was the first plane they'd ever flown.
Yeah. It was. Yeah.They've never sold out like this.
And this happened.
We're just flying back and forth.
It was a private jet.
Qantas Airways has come under firefor allegedly playing
an extremely inappropriate movieon all of its screens, and taking almost
(03:36):
an hour to realizewhether you wanted to or not.
You'll have heard all about roardogging flights in recent months.
However, I wonder what it would be calledif you sat down on the plane, were forced
to watch a film with graphic nudity,unable to switch channels or turn it off?
Well, that's
allegedly what happened on Qantasflight QF five nine
that was traveled from Sydney, Australiato Tokyo, Japan, yesterday.
(04:00):
So October 5th. So this is like brand new.
Sheesh.
Might hear a dogwhining in the background.
I just cause I got a new, dog ring.
Dog kennel ring.
What's that, a dog ring?
Isn't that where you breeddogs and a dog ring?
You got a new dog ring?
Michael Vick in it downstairs.
(04:21):
Sheesh. Shut up.
I'll feed you in a second.
Holy crap. No. It's where I was sitting.
A very cool dog.
And he's dope as hell.
His name is goose, but you may hearin the background linings.
Yeah, this is a good one,but he's a little high strung.
Very high strung. Yeah. Okay.
So blah blah, blah, blah blah.
The guy says had an in-flightentertainment system, was down on board
(04:43):
the flight, and after a one hour delay,the pilot decided to take off anyway.
But the only option left for the crewto play a movie on every screen.
Look, we've all been where someone's gota speaker and wants to jump on the ark.
It's a lot of pressure,so such responsibility,
not everyone is going to agreewith your choices.
Alas, to make it even more tricky decisionfor the Qantas crew,
the film was impossible to pause,damn or turn off one selected.
(05:07):
Just give it down.
It was.
Yeah, I was like, can we just havethe brightness down all the way?
At least so my kids don't see this,you know, don't.
And the film ended up on screensunfortunately ended up being that sort,
which certainly wasn't meantfor all ages of eyes.
The passengers continued.
Here's the kicker. The movie they playedwas extremely inappropriate.
It featured graphic nudity,a lot of sexting, the kind where you could
(05:27):
literally read the text on the screenwithout needing headphones.
It almost.
It took almost an hour.Video has sexting in it.
I know, that's what I was wondering.
Why bullshit B-movie isthis has like sexting in it and just
it was just like throwing a porn.
I can't wait until the next scene, baby.
I can't wait until the scene changes.
And then we're actually in the same roomdoing something together.
(05:47):
Oh, eight hours later.
Yeah, it's. Yeah, I that's whatI was watching. I'm like, oh.
And the other thing toois it doesn't say what film it was.
And I'm probably I'm sure it'sjust there are PR people are holding it.
Yeah. No you can't be just saying. Yeah.
It took almost an hour for this movie
for this before they switch to a more kidfriendly movie.
But it was super uncomfortablefor everyone,
(06:07):
especially with familiesand kids on board.
The passenger attached
three images of scenes in question,although only from the sexting parts.
No nudity because that wouldjust be repeating the same issue, right?
Was it just like 50 Shades or somethinglike they threw on like,
yeah, yeah, I don't, I don't even know.
So anyways,
I could get into like the, like theI never seen those movies deep naked.
I, I've, I've never I seen the first one.
(06:30):
I worked on the second one. Sheesh. Yeah.
I told you about. Right, right.Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then I was one of the male models.
I was the butt model. Yeah. Yes,I was the butt ball.
Yeah, that was that was my job.
No, I was, the guythat, like, I recognized the bus.
No, I let the the train go
through the set when we were recording,and I got shit from the ad.
(06:50):
Yeah, that's what I did. Yeah.
So the guy that fucked up the scene,part one,
Dylan McDaniel, is what I'm credited.
Nice one dude. Yeah, I know, solid.
Anyways, so like,the whole thing is broken down
and it's just them bitching about itand shit like that,
and then people are like
commenting on the post being like,oh, that's this sounds like something
that, like a pissed offpilot would do on his last day
or that's another thing,and apparently was just a solid accident
(07:13):
that played something that was likea it's not an X-rated movie.
I don't know why the titlesthat it's just clickbait,
but it's like probably an R-rated moviethat had nudity in it.
And then, yeah, it'snot like they just put on porn.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's what they would doif it was, if it was like an angry last,
you know, like it'ssome kind of prank or whatever,
probably some kind of fuck Facebook quit,probably just put on.
(07:33):
Yeah. Who knows.
Like selected the movie besidethe one that was supposed to be
or like, was like,oh, this is critically acclaimed.
It's an R-rated movie,but it's like has, like, graphic nudity.
The pilot doesn't give a shit.
He's got a job to do.
He's, you know, flying to Tokyo and he'sjust like, okay, well, let's put this on.
And then he's like, flying.And people are like, oh, oh, oh.
(07:53):
And then then if took the lineup to the bathroom and what do you call
those receptionists on the plane,a flight attendant that. Yes.
An hour for this.
You go up to their desk.
I don't approve of the movie that's on.
Right. And I have some peanuts.Could you wait and sit down?
I'll call your number when you're ready.Yeah. It's like, wait. Shit.
(08:14):
But it was, Yeah, it was crazy.
It took an hour for anybodyto realize or say anything,
and then they finally switch itto something more kid friendly. So.
Wow. One of the commentsthat I was just like,
it's like, yo, why do
why isn't just the go to Shrek like,just if you're ever in that situation
where you people fly all the time though,Shrek, they've seen Shrek 9630, then
fine, they get raw dogging 52 finally,finally those people were fine with it.
(08:39):
They had seen Shrek too many,too many times already.
They probably put it on.
They fucking.
They fucking got what they, they paid forso many times. I'm.
Who am I kidding?
Yeah. Scenes recommended somebody once.
Oh, yeah, sorry I won't.
Oh, yeah. It's a safe bet though, right.
Like there's millions safe bet.
And and there's several Shrek movies.Yeah.
So you just just recycle.
(09:00):
Just rinse and repeat. So anyways, that'sthe first story I wanted to go into.
We don't have to elaborateany more than that.
Oh, that'sas much as anyone can handle of that.
Pretty funny though.
Just imagine being on a planean hour of late.
So to that,hold on now, just before you continue.
That reminds meof a smaller version of this where,
my coworker and I
were helping a rather elderly gentleman
(09:21):
to purchase some CBD oil or somethinglike that in the dispensary.
Right.
And we're standing there and helping,and then Spotify decides to jump to
a track that is just poor noises,like like White Zombie.
I don't know.
It's just it's just like, not even music.
There's no music.
It's just like the audioof a hardcore porn.
(09:42):
Like just a woman. Like moaning.
And if I know what the songis, it's not a song.
It's not a song.It's just a track of that.
I'm telling you, it's just likesomebody has trolled, like somebody
has put on a porn audio, right? Right.
Like it doesn't go to a some rap songor something.
It's not like the Biggie Smalls thing.
It's like it's just straight up porn.
(10:04):
So like, we're just like mortified.And I tried to be like,
I tried to be like this old man saying,they're looking at us.
Like what?
Like terrified white eyes.
I'm just like, oh, thanks a lot. Spotify.
Let me go change that. And traffic.
And he just, like, dead stared at usand my my coworker, I swear to God,
they were going to die.
Like, that's the horrifying.
(10:24):
It was so bad.You trying to run a professional business?
I skip the song.
I didn't even look at what it was,which was dumb.
I should have checked it outand blocked it or whatever.
I just totally like next and.
Okay, no more of that, you know?
And like some other music, apparentlyit happened again to this same person.
The same poor person. Old dude.
No. Oh, the same worker. Coworker.Yes, yes.
(10:47):
Well, some people were in the storeand my boss at the same time.
This is somebody fucking with them.Fucking.
Well, it's just shuffle, right?
It just like the algorithmput it on again for some reason.
What does this person listening
to we're listening to, like,Thundercat and like, hell yeah, hip hop.
Yeah. You know, all kinds of shit.
Nothing to do with that, obviously.What are they listening to?
Well, they call that noises to follow.
(11:07):
Something to study too.
The reason why I bring that up is because,like White Zombie, that's Rob zombie.
Yeah.
His first band, White Zombie,more human Than human, is a song.
And the literallylike the first minute of that song
is just a girl getting railedand it's her moaning.
It's like danger.
And it's like, yeah,which would still be awkward as fuck.
I mean, we didn't get let it get thatlong, but like, yeah, it's still awkward.
(11:29):
It wasn't.
I don't think it was Rob zombie.
We're not listening to anything like that.So but
I've just had Spotify for five yearsand I've never had that happen to me.
Know, I don't know what the hell,but we got trolled or something happened.
And then a third timeit happened to this same person. No.
And apparently they found the song.
I'm like blocked at this time.
And like,did they tell you what song I'm now? I'm.
(11:49):
No, I don't know what it is.I don't know what the hell it was.
It's just like, you know, that's too good.
That's fine.
It was crazy. I felt so bad.
They would just be mortified.
Like,I mean, what do you do in that situation?
You're like, sweating balls.
Run to the back, I did it. Yeah.
So sorry.
This Spotify keeps doing thishorrible thing like running.
And they're just like, well, it's Spotify.
So it's obviously algorithmicto what you're doing.
So what are you doing.Yeah we're horny bitch.
(12:12):
What like that.
Yeah, totally. Oh my God.
Terrible. That sucks. Yeah.
Anyway, so that's how to feel completelymortified in front of a customer.
Been there.
Don't think you have.
Not like that.
I've definitely had it. Where?
I was working at a store.
The store that you used to work at,
(12:34):
And we had buddy have,his laptop plugged in, and then there
was, like, certain music playingthat is on the no no list.
And then a certain regional managerwalking in
and not being stoked about what was goingon, the speakers noises.
And I was mad.
One timewe were like, closing the root cellar.
And, we had the door, like, kind of opento bring in that apple carts and stuff.
(12:55):
We had ice cube, no Vaseline playing nice.
And it's just at its worst point in this.
Dad and his kid walk in and they're like,oh, hello, are you guys okay?
Run to the back and like, turn like,dive for the volume knob.
Like you're not supposed to be here.
What the hell?
Get your yams and get the fuck out.
Yeah.
So mortified. Back to it now.
(13:16):
It's like,whatever. People know rap music.
Don't even listen to what's going on.
Oh, yeah, just white noise.
No, Not.
Oh, no. No.
Anyway, anything on the speakers, rappersand white noise
speakers at a grocery store is white noiselike it could be train.
It could be ice cube,
right.
Half, half the time you're like,what the fuck?
Anyways? Okay.
Do you want to go into your segment ofThese Are My Villains?
(13:37):
These are my villains? Yeah.
So in this case, sinceit's the spooky season, I've always,
had a particular
interest and distaste for this guy, SirMatthew Bailey Begbie.
You've probably heard of him.
The judge? I've never heard of him.
Never heard of the hanging judge.You know, Bastion Square downtown.
Yeah, right.
So, like, their courthouse was down thereor whatever.
(13:59):
And that's apparently Bastion Squareis where they used to do the hangings.
I have never done the ghost tours.
Yeah, I have, I have done it.
So yeah. That's probably where I knowthis from or whatever.
I've done a couple of those ghost tours.But anyway.
Yeah.
So, born 18, 19, and died
in 94, 1894, and he was a British lawyer,politician and judge.
(14:20):
In 1858, he became the first chief Justiceof the Crown Colony of British Columbia.
In colonial times,and in the first decades after, British
Columbia joined Confederationas a province of Canada.
So just like shortly after,a very shitty colonizer
motherfucker, this guy is awful.
I did an extreme piece of shitI actually have never heard of this year.
(14:42):
You're enlightening me rightnow. He's a racist asshole.
So he, Begbie served as the first judgeof the Supreme Court Colony of British
Columbia, 1858 1866,and then in the same capacity
in the Supreme Court,the United Colony of British Columbia.
From 1866 to 1870.
He was Chief Justice of the Supreme Courtof the United Colonies.
La la la la la, and served as the first.
(15:03):
You just avoid saying the same thing,you Province of British
Columbia and served,until his death on June 11th, 1894.
Whatever.
In the years after his death, Begbiecame to be known as the Hanging Judge.
Wai Wai.
The hanging judge to do this sentence.
Everybody to hang. Yes, that makes sense.
(15:23):
Yeah, a lot of people, just lookingthrough here and give it of some ums.
Traveled through British Columbiaon foot and later
horseback at administering justiceand sometimes in formal circumstances.
But he is said to have always wornhis judicial robes and wig
(15:45):
when the court was in session for him.
Yeah. That's great.
Professional sharp indeed.
In 1860, Begbie found a white Californianman by the name of William Marshall
guilty of assaulting a First Nations manbased only on the testimony
of first Nations people,the first time this had ever occurred.
Begbielearned a number of indigenous dialects,
and even conducted trials in thoselanguages without use of an interpreter.
(16:08):
He had actually I.
I, I didn't read this part before.
He had great friendshipswith a number of chiefs,
and was clearly sympatheticwhen it came to trying
to impose colonial lawon indigenous people.
Well, I take it back.He's less of a villain. I thought.
I definitely didn't read this partbefore he recognized the concept
of Aboriginal marriageand allowed an oath for truth telling that
free having Aboriginal beliefs,he allowed people.
(16:29):
He allowed people of other culturesto swear an oath and truth on an object
sacred to them in place of the Bible.
Wow, that's super.
Hey, hold up, hold up. Okay, okay.
So so the hanging judge, I mean.
Okay, let me let me go backreal quick to what I said.
Both learning. That's crazy.
Bagby ruled in 1886 that in thata law imposing very high license fees,
(16:50):
discriminated against Chinese people,even though it did not mention them,
because laundries at the time where overwere overwhelmingly run by Chinese.
Another ruling with a similar logic
two years latercompelled the city of Victoria
to renew the licenseof Chinese pawnbrokers.
So he was actually speakingon behalf of them. I don't know why.
I was like almost half asleepearlier when I read this.
It's like the greatest.
Yeah, I know, it's actuallynot a racist piece of shit at all.
(17:11):
Whoops.
He actually, like, learned all of it.
Well, all it said was that he like,
he hung a lot of people,but they were mostly native people.
I just don't understand why it was thatI read that
I didn't understand where it was that,
anyway, but the hanging judge is so.
Well, I mean,
(17:31):
I mean, the sourceof the name of his legacy was tarnished
because he presided over a, court inwhich five chill totem chiefs were hanged.
Hanged five chiefs.
But, I mean, did they do shitty shit?
Because it doesn't matterwhat race you are, if you're shitty shit.
Before 1871, only
three white men were hanged for murderafter trials that presided over Bagby.
(17:53):
In the same period, 22Indians were hanged.
Beg the obtained reprieve for 11 others,
though he never so muchas urged a reprieve for a white man.
So so he was still on thein the corner of the,
native people,it seems, which is kind of badass.
And I mean, obviously Vancouver Island.
So we have a very huge populationof First Nations.
(18:13):
So I mean, it ratio just makes sense.
But at the same time, likewas he doing it?
Was he like going to batfor the white people
and then not going to batfor First Nations? Or was he
at leastattempting to do what he could do?
Seems like the other way around.
Like he wouldn't help white people.He was like, fuck these guys.
Okay, so these are my heroes. New segment.
Yeah, these are my heroes.
(18:34):
Okay.
I kind of like the twist.
This is fucking good.
And then I totally had this guy wrong,like, in the 1800s to, like, that way.
Like, there's
probably people with less sympathythan this guy nowadays, which is crazy.
Which is not right, obviously.
But, like,
this is what's crazy.
This is what I.
(18:55):
This is on the CRT, Victorian region.
In 1858, Matthew Bigbybecame the first chief justice
from colony, British Columbia.
Everybody says that after a land dispute,Begbie hanged many members of the.
I'm going to not even be ableto sell a silk coat and maybe, nation.
Yeah, including several chiefs.
This land was stolen
from the indigenous peoplesof the Cariboo, Chilcote and region.
(19:16):
After the government approved a roadto Barker Ville without consultation
with surrounding nations.
Begbie got the nickname of the HangingJudge by being ruthless in his conviction
of criminals in and quotesby sentencing them to be hanged.
A majority of these criminalswere indigenous.
This form of institutionalized
colonialism led to the assimilationand death of many First Nations.
(19:37):
This courthouse is where hehis actions took effect.
Today he is commemorated for his impartialand fair rulings
through colonist revisionist history.
Okay, so we're gonna take two at this.
These are my villains.
Yeah, yeah.
Because, Thanks, ghost.
Because I don't know, though, now.
Because it's saying,like in colonist revisionist history.
(19:58):
Because that is celebratedas impartial and fair rulings.
But like this random, on CRD communitygreen map.
Okay.
Whenever that is a celebrationof living sustainably in Victoria region
of British Columbia, I don't know.
This is their they really are not a fan.
So so so this is back and forth.
So this guy's.
(20:19):
Yeah the Wikipedia says that he dida lot of things for indigenous people
in this, communities green map,whatever it is.
CRD Community Green Map is sayingthe hanging judge got his nickname
by convictions of criminals in quotesand something,
then sentencing them to be hanged.
Your history homie. His his name.
Yeah. We got to ask Dan about this.
Dan yeah, I was gonna sayhis name. Is your name Dan.
(20:41):
Okay, well, what do you thinkhe would go back to this?
This is not.
I expected to just talk about how shittythis dude was being a Cullen,
but I'm confused.
I, like I reread it and upon reading it,I'm like, wait, hold on.
He's actually kind of like at the centerof some controversy, it seems.
So I gotta get my facts straight.
I gotta talk to my homie Danand then I guess we'll revisit this.
These are my villains or heroes,I don't know.
Yeah, it's up to me.
(21:01):
History is murky and gray, I don't know.
And if, you know, chime in, say somethingto us, let us know what we're up to.
Yeah. What kind of podcaster am I?
I don't even know what the hell.
Well, I mean, if youif you hear some silly shit about a guy,
roughly like, if it just goes to show,you got to be a little bit like you got to
look closer.
You got to. Yeah. In-depth.
The the scenario,I thought I knew what was up
(21:22):
and then now I'm looking at himlike he was just a scary judge
who hung everybody in my memory,you know, from the ghost tour.
And that's why this place is haunted.
Because of all the victims of that.
He hung victims, you know? Yeah.
The condemned and criminals.
Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so I thought, like, oh, it's just,more evidence of,
colonial,you know, oppression, basically.
(21:45):
And. Right.
But then he's also allowing peopleto swear oaths upon their sacred items
instead of the Bible.
Like, that's pretty funny, whichwould never happen, like 100 years ago.
That's crazy.
A judge over 100 years ago.Yeah. In the 18.
Yeah. That's.Well, yeah, over a hundred years ago.
Okay.
Well,if y'all know, about this, certain,
instance, chime in, let us know,see if this guy was a good guy or bad guy.
(22:07):
But maybe we'll have Dan on the thing,and we'll bring that up to him
and see if he can enlighten us on that, because that's.
Yeah.
Is that a hero or a villain?We don't know. Yeah.
It seems like he gets a bad rap.
And then this is not so that he actuallydid better than than people thought.
Maybe he was fair with it.
Maybe those people deserved to be hanged.
Maybe they just needed to hang a lot ofpeople back then and then like, I'm like,
(22:29):
I'm trying to say thiswithout saying this in a in a people
right to be hanged,people need to be hanged.
No, that's what you're trying to say.
People need to die. Come on.
You know what I'm saying? So if.
Because Victoria Island,Vancouver Island, is it Victoria?
Victoria. Victoria Island, man.
Yeah. Fuck, yeah.
Is, is, like we had, like, a very bigpopulation of First Nations people.
(22:54):
And if there was, we're herebecause. Exactly.
We literally came over herewith stupid shit.
They were the first ones.
So her nation,if they if the population was granted
more of them than us, then it wouldmake sense that there is more of them.
I see what you're sayingas criminals. Hung.
I don't know if in Victoriaat that moment.
You know what I mean?
That they outnumberedwhite people at the time.
(23:16):
I don't think it's what you're saying.
Maybe because.
Well, because it's if if you do somethingbad, regardless of your race,
you're just saying. You're just saying,like, statistically there's more of them.
So that's why more of them would have beencriminals represented for them.
Or and then if, if they're, if they'reif and if people are just being like, oh,
we hung a bunch of First Nations.I think it's a lot of racist.
I think it's a lot of racist cops.
Yes. That'sI think that's like it's. Yeah.
(23:37):
You know, they they know how to like
they just ifif they didn't listen to them,
they would just lock them up and say,you're going to be hanged.
Now or you're white.
I'll hear you.
Well,so this hanging judge was probably like,
seeing a bunch of thisand being like, no, you can't just
just becausethey're, you know, indigenous,
you just going to put them before me hereand I'm going to execute them.
So he tried to help peopleget off of these
(23:59):
sounds like charges, which is either way.
Yeah. This potentially way. Okay.We're going to go to our first sponsor.
What is our first sponsor.
It's going to be goop off.
Goop off. Yes.
Good stuff is
is a product that helps you get all kindsof sticky bullshit off of other stuff.
Kind of like Goo Gone.
Don't say that.
Oh. Oh, yeah, they just say that. Did.
(24:20):
No. It's better.
It's not like that at all. It'sbetter. It's about eight times as strong.
Which is why it's able to take the paintright off your car.
It'll take your beard right off your face.
It's, Yeah, goop off. It's essentially acid.
Yeah.

We're goofing off. Yeah.
It's a goof off.
What do you mean, your grouping off?
Oh, we're just taking the goop off stuff.
It's fun in front of my nose hairs.
(25:04):
Stings my eyes.
Goop of goop.
Cleans anything off of any surface, ever.
It will dissolve absolutely anything.
Teeth, saliva. Bones. Fingernails.
Wait, wait.
Goop. Oh, can I wait?
Can I use this to get rid of my,my mom's new boyfriend?
(25:24):
Absolutely.
Oh, yeah. He's a real dick. Goop.
I hate TV.
Okay,
let's do anything that's already to them.
All right, we're right back in you.And that was so much fun goofing off.
I love goofing off.
Yeah, we're just goofing off.
Yeah, that's my favorite Russian leader.
Group off.
Yeah, doctor. Group off.
(25:44):
Doctor GU boss is, crazy.
Well, I hope you guys are havingas much fun as we are.
I actually want to go.
I hope you have as much fun as me.
Yeah, I feel ridiculousif you get on my facts wrong.
No, it's kind of cool when you're like,I slander the good man.
But I don't know, though.
Damn it, you sultry.
(26:06):
That good name of sultry.
Oh, it wasn't made it hot.
It's solid. It.
That's what I'll try to say.
What's his name?
Doctor Matthew Bagby.
It's not a doctor.
He's a judge.
Man can only do so much.
Judge Matthew Bigby.
Yes. Yeah.
I'm doctor judge.
(26:26):
Party clown.
Matthew big B, he did it all, man.
He was nothingyou could do with that. Yeah.
All right, so we're going to go intothe next segment, which is oh, no. But,
16 weirdfacts you didn't know about Yeager.
I don't know much about yeah.
You're really and it's one of my favorite.
(26:49):
Drinks.
I get to do that
because they're paying me to.
Come on. Oh, yeah?
Yeah, you're paying us.
Yeah. It's a real sponsor. For once,I love you.
I love you, too. Yeah.
So that's my favorite drink of all.
Yeah, yeah.You never said shit about shit.
Whenever I'm goofing off,I just sip on the agar.
That's called the agar.
Yeah, that's what I do. On a Saturday.
We get goop off Yaga sesh.
(27:10):
So it was invented in a vinegar factory,
Yeah.
Don't you say
really?
Yeah.
Kurt Mask wrote Yeager's original recipein 1935, but it was 20 years before
that he took over his father'svinegar factory and wolf and butcher.
(27:32):
Do you know Wilson butcher?
It's a German company. Yes.
Or a German place. Nut company?
No, I don't know it.
That stop producing the acidic stuffto focus entirely on manufacturing
spirits, eventuallycreating the concoction we know and love
today.
It takes 365 days to make or a year.
(27:54):
A year for for for it to get to bottle.
So it's aged for a year,which I didn't know that in a in a barrel.
In a barrel. Yep. That's how they do it.
And they have 56 herbs and spices
including citrus peel, licorice, ginseng.
And that has never changed. 79 years.
Well that's gross.
(28:15):
Do you say licorice peel? No. Citrus.
Oh, okay. So hold on.
Citrus peel and licorice.
Licorice is not my thing.
I think that'swhat I. I actually don't mind.
Yeah, I agree, except for the licoriceflavor, which is basically all.
It tastes like anus. Quite horrible.
Yes. Fennel anus.
Family fennel.
Fatal anus. That's not how you say it.
It's rock star persona. Fatal anus.
(28:40):
It takes every year to make
that too many eggs.
The Germans call it liver glue.
That's that's gross.
But they call it Jagermeister Dagger.
No, they call it liverglue. Actually says that.
Okay, sure. While many of us know.
Yeah, I get my storyby way of nightclub shot glass.
It was actually inventedas a digestive in Germany.
(29:00):
It's still popularfor an after dinner sip.
That's why it's lovingly known as Lieberkiss.
Lister.
I said that properly.
It's.
Which is translates to liver glue.
Yeah.
It helps you get rid of youryour liver sticky.
Yeah.
Jagermeister heals
not medically proven but it was sold.
(29:23):
The I get Meister heals not medically.
It's some. Yeah.
Yeah some. Yeah. Yeah.
Like many herbal liqueur is.
Jagermeisterwas originally used medicinally.
And even today, peopleswear by its healing properties
for easing flu symptomsfrom coughs to sore throats.
And apparently it was back in the day.
You would have to get Jagermeisterover the counter at a pharmacy.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, it's like a tonic for you.
(29:43):
Yeah. What ails you?
Yeah. Really?Just getting drunk. Yeah, it.
Well, yeah. Yeah, I feel greatbecause I'm drunk. Yeah, yeah.
It's a summer drink.
Or at least that's the inherentimplication of Jagermeister spice.
A winter edition of the herbal liqueurmade with the same 56 ingredients,
but with an emphasis on cinnamonand vanilla.
(30:06):
So that's the more wintry version. Yep.
And is it called the same thing? Yep.
Winter liver group.
Winter, whatever.
Yep. Winter liver group? Yep.
That's what we drink in the winter.
This is warm.
It's the world's best selling liqueur.
Wow. Yeah. Wow.
(30:28):
Wow. And that's. And that's the, Yeah.
Okay. Well, that was all 16. Well, good.
I know all those names.
I gave you the thethe cool ones. Yeah. Nice.
I thought it was going to be like.Do you know what else is in Yegor?
Licorice.
Number 14.
Do you know what elseis in Yegor? Lemon peels.
Hey, hey, do you know what else is in it?
(30:51):
Tree bark. Is it?
Yeah. It's not, it's not.No it's not. Yeah.
But anyway, it's just like everythingI eat, it's my favorite.
It's my favorite liqueur.
So basically the best batch.
And I call my October juice
I like I like drinking itduring the spooky season.
It's one of my freaking all dayhaving you.
Yeah. You're a mess. You'll find out.
(31:11):
No. Part one just for this episodebecause it's just seemed right.
Well, I had it on handand it was something to talk about.
And you're having mine as well?
That's right.Yeah, I'm having yours as well. Yeah.
All right.
And then we're goingto go into our last segment,
which is a haunting final messageand other takeaways from the Coast
Guard inquiryinto the Titan submersible implosion.
Spooky.
(31:32):
That's perfect.
So, we all remember the, Titan?
Yeah. Submersiblethat went down. Remember the Titan?
The football player movie?
Oh, yeah.
Just one dude.
Yeah, that's what he's up to.
Yeah. Fuck.
You went down
deep sea and exploded.
More than a year
(31:54):
after the Titan submersible imploded,killing all five voyagers on board.
The story of the ill fated
expedition to the Titanichas taken the form of a modern day Greek
tragedy, overflowing with mortal prideand heedless testimony.
During the first week of the hearingby a US Coast Guard panel probing
the disaster, has painted a damningportrait of the Washington based company
that developed and operatedthe 23,000 pound submersible,
(32:16):
as well as its founder, who charge deeppocketed passengers $250,000 per dive.
So if you're obvious everybody's familiarwith what the fuck happened, I would
imagine that this Titan submersiblewent down deep to look at the Titanic.
They didn't ask James Cameronbecause he's done it.
(32:36):
No, they tried to cut costs,which is hilarious
considering it's a which is so fucked,so like theirs.
But anyway,I was talking to a homie at work
and he like, so like the actual engineer,which I'm pretty sure is
explained exasperatedly
in this, or it's exasperatingly
like, in long gated,
(32:57):
it's it they use too many words.
But basically what happened was
there was an engineer safety engineerthat came aboard and,
the CEO, who was now dead,
told him to get in the shipand to go for a test run.
And he said,I am not going in that damn thing.
Yeah. And they fired him. Yeah, exactly.
That's that's the type of shita billionaire will do. And then,
(33:18):
since
Monday, people who once workedwith exploration promoter Ocean Gate
and other described a terse final messagesent seconds before contact was lost,
what one witness called a smokeand mirrors company culture
centered on profits rather than science.
A malfunction of the Titan just daysbefore imploded, and repeated dire
warnings that were ignored before disasterstruck 15 months ago.
(33:38):
Stockton Rush, the founder and CEOof the vessel's operator, businessman Shah
Dasa Dawood, and his 19 year old son SwirlMan Dawood,
businessman Hamish Harding and Frenchdiver Paul Henry Nego were all killed.
Those remains were matched to the five menon the on board through DNA
testing and analysis, accordingto the Marine Board of Investigation.
(34:02):
So one thing that needs to be very clearis that there has been, up to this point,
a perfect track record in deepsubmergence, Chris Roman, a professor
at the University of Rhode Island'sGraduate School of Oceanography, told CNN.
The second is it's not as cavalier,high risk.
Every dive is like a daredevil event,if not properly.
There's no shortcuts here,especially in this business.
And if you cut corners,it will bite you. Why?
(34:24):
Yeah.
So I mean, it's one of those thingswhere it's just
this is what the whole world is.
And see, this is why it's so hardfor everyone to be sad about it.
Right?
Like when somebody is just absolutely asking for it like that, you know, like just
like.
Like it looks
the word, you know, the s-word,it looks like they're tried to die.
(34:47):
Yeah.
You know, but they're they're not
they're obviously had lots to live forand didn't want to die.
So like,
what is going on here?
You're just this hubristic.
You're like, you're you've gotso much money that you don't understand.
When someone tells you know it and you're
literally not listening to physics,you won't listen to the ocean.
Yeah. Like you're like,no, no, I will go here.
(35:07):
And it's like, what you.
And then not even accept me on that.
People who actually are engineersand went to schooling for this shit,
telling you the intelligence
that's the entitlement you eventhey cannot like logic
can't tell this person no, no.
It's like no, no,
no, I just have to believe in manifestand I will make it just fine.
Trust me, it's just fine.Look at this thing.
Clang, clang, clang on the side like it'ssolid as a rock.
(35:28):
Not understanding how fucking muchpressure is under the ocean and like, how
what it takes.
And you can tell his greedy brainwhich like rest in peace to him to.
I like it because it's never cool again.
It's never cool when human life is lost.
Their families.
My heart goes out to them and stuff,right?
And now, of course,they have to deal with the entire world,
like ridiculing theirthe death of their loved one.
Like those people who went with them.
(35:49):
He went the CEOthat basically caused all this.
I'm talking about their loved oneswho are left behind the victims, right?
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
So these people have to nowlisten to jokesters like us being, like,
all fucking.
They're asking for it, you know, like,it sucks because most people
just get to mourn an accidentthat is tragic.
Doesn't matter how much money they had,they're still people to those people.
They're still very close to them.
(36:10):
And like their loved ones, dads,you know, brothers, whatever, husbands.
And now the whole worldis like fucking laughing at them
because we're angry at billionairesfor having an excess of money.
And basically that's an evil thing
to do, to have so much fucking moneythat other people have nothing, you know?
But like, at the same time, it's like
people are so angrythey want to see that sort of shit happen.
(36:30):
You know, they want to see a billionaire,a bunch of billionaires
crunched by their own hubris. Yeah.
And it's it's well, it's crazy.
Basically is is in layman's terms,
like he was obviously a smart guythat was able to create what he created.
But at the same time,
like what he initially thought wasall I got to go is down, back
up, and I can get these rich peopleto give me $250,000 per person.
(36:52):
So just the two, the two people,which was a rich like, family from.
I'm not going to guess where that was.
It doesn't specify
those 500 grand in his pocket.
Yeah, just going down in the oceana couple hours up 500,000 bucks.
It's all.He thought he was blinded by that, right?
Exactly. And just. Yeah, like,I don't know.
So, Horrible.
(37:12):
One of the final haunting messagesfrom the Titan
submersible was delivered at 10:14 a.m.
local time in Newfoundland, Canada.According to an animation
from the Coast Guard hearing.
All good here
is one of the last things I see.
Half an hour later, about 1047 local time,the Titan sent another message
to its mothership,the Polar Print, saying it had dropped two
(37:35):
is referring to weight the submersible,so it dropped two weights.
Holding the submersible,
which could shed to eitherreturn to the surface
or to ease its descent into the dark,hostile deep insects.
In six seconds after that was transmitted,contact was lost,
so a lawsuitby the family of one of the victim
has claimed the message about 90 minutesinto the dive was an indication
(37:57):
the crew might have knownsomething was wrong
and were trying to abort the mission.
Second, after that brief communication,the Titan was pinged for the last time,
according to the opening presentationof the two week hearing.
Days later, authorities found its wreckageon the floor of the North
Atlantic Ocean several hundred yardsfrom the remains of the Titanic,
according to the Marine Board
of Investigation,
which is the highest level of inquiryby the Coast Guard, the smallest of all
(38:18):
lost contact with its mothershipthe morning of June 18th, 2023,
when it failed to resurface,a dramatic internal
search and rescue missionunfolded in remote.
Yeah, blah blah.
So is he
a key witness during the hearingsfirst week was David Lockridge,
a former director of marine operationsfrom Ocean Gate who has expressed concerns
about the safety of the submersible.
(38:38):
Ocean Gate Company culture was centered
on making money and offeredvery little in the way of science.
Lockridge described a 2018 reportin which he expressed safety concerns
over ocean gate operations, and said,there's no way I was signing off on this.
He had no confidence
whatsoever in the submerged submersiblesconstruction, he testified.
Lockridge said his responsibilitywas to ensure the safety of the crew,
(38:59):
clients and training pilots,but he felt more like a show pony
because no one else was qualifiedas a pilot.
It was all smoke and mirrors, he said.
One of the wit, he said, of the waythe company operated all the social media
that you seeabout all these past expeditions,
they always hadissues with our expeditions.
Manufacturer of
the Titans viewport and acrylicwindow of the submersible had built
(39:22):
and certified itfor a depth of a thousand, 1000m
or about 323,280ft.
But Lockridge said Ocean Gateintended to take the vessel to 4000m.
So blah blah, blah blah blah,
and then and then four timesas deep as they needed to go.
Yeah. That's terrible.
And then he, he refers
(39:42):
this as kind of ironic as
an ocean wreck looking for an ocean wreck
because the Titanic was an ocean wreck.
Yeah.
And this was an ocean wreck, so too bad.
But, Yeah.
So anyways,they're actually currently in, court
right now trying it, which I can't
believe was already a year and a half agothat this happened,
which is kind of tremendous crazy.Yeah. Time goes by.
(40:04):
Yeah. But, Yeah.
It was controlled by an Xbox controller.
Yeah, pretty much. Right. It was.It was all right. Yeah.
As for controller and Xbox controller,yeah.
Mad Catz probably. It was like a no.
He wild. Yeah.
But, there it feels so terrifiedgoing down on that thing with any sense.
But yeah.
No there's like I mean, I don't knowif maybe I said this before, but,
(40:28):
I think it was Duncan Trussell.
We had an interviewed a guy who studiesbillionaires and basically said, like,
the more he studied them and the morehe started sort of thinking that socio,
you know, well, in a way,
I guess, but basically it's morejust like a low level brain damage.
Like to have that much money, you putsyou out of touch with like a low level.
(40:48):
You got like a low level brain damageconsidering what he figures,
like he's talked to some of themand like been like, so
this guy is planningto build a bit of the rocket to space.
He wants to live on Mars or whatever.
He's talking to one of these billionairesthat's got like a a shuttle.
He wants to he's building.
It's like,okay, you're building this shuttle.
It's like on board.
You know, what happens when you run out ofI can't remember what it was.
(41:09):
It was like when you run out of, like,anything, essentially you run out
of lithium batteries, run out of fucking,you know, paper towel, for fuck's sake.
You run out of, like,you know, basic necessities, stuff that.
Yeah, stuff too.
Like disinfect, you know, like youstart running out of stuff.
And he was basically just like,right, right.
So bring more batteries like he writesmakes a no.
Like he's so focused on the core,it's like, wait a minute.
(41:30):
No, you just missed the point.
It doesn't matter how much you bring you,there's no more after that.
You can't bring enoughfor your whole life.
And to make a colony and to, like, sustainthe rest of your existence.
What are you doing? Like,they just aren't quite getting it.
You just can't tell them.
No, logically, that's impossible becausethey're like, oh, that's ridiculous.
That's what they saidwhen I built my company from nothing.
And you're holding people,it's just like you.
(41:52):
You've been told yes so much in your life,and you have such fucking influence
and power that nothing tells you.
No, not even nature tells these guys no.
And so, you know, and that's how we get,you know, that's how we get industry built
and that's how we go to the moon and blah,blah, blah, blah.
Take risks. Right.
And so it's just like,you know, yeah, I get what they're saying.
Be a little cavalier.
This is how the world that we live intoday was built.
(42:14):
A lot of people died in order to buildthis world we're living in today.
But at the same time, it's just like,
you know,Rome, Rome, the place that built.
It wasn't built in a day.
No, I've heard that before, but, Yeah.
No, it's basically just so.
And then hubris. Right. And so.
And then the final thingI'll say about this is that he literally,
was on record saying
(42:35):
at some point you have to avoid safety
and just go with your gut instinct.
He was literally like quoted being like,you just got to do it.
If you keep worrying about safety,you're going to be held back
and you're not going to achievewhat you're supposed to achieve,
he said as he drove out of the planewithout a parachute.
Essentially like whatthe CEO of this was like, you like,
(42:56):
there's I had too many people in my waytalking about safety.
Yeah. And it was holding me back.
Yeah. Crazy. So yeah. Well, that's
it's not holding him back anymore.
Nope. It's not a no.
It did actually held him in anyway.
Yeah.
So yeah thethe heart goes out to the victims.
Enough about that.
We'll probably never talk about that again
because that talked it alreadylast time when it happened.
(43:17):
And now we're talking about again.
Yeah I know we talked about this.
Yeah I'm pretty sure we talked about itwhen it happened.
I think we mentioned it.Yeah. Maybe I just mentioned it. Sorry.
Before this. Yeah.
So we talked about it before this.
My dog is looking to, eat dinner.
Your dog really needs to be fed.Is down there.
So that's one of them.
No, this is a good episode.
Mr. Goose, you're good. Bud. Yeah.
Goose? Goose.
(43:39):
You okay?
Goose. Stop whining. Goose.
Say hi to say hi to goose.
Goose,do you have something to say? Goose?
And he just.
He's eating the mic.
He's literally just put it in his body.
He's just like all these. He just. All.
I mean, you did the mice.
You did just, like,offer him a treat, basically.
But it was just a microphone.
That was kind of cool.
(44:00):
Gross.
Yeah, well,that was the sound of a dog's larynx.
Well, now,I don't know which one of them's been in
deuces mouth next time I use it.
So let's cool that.
Do you want to pauseso I can take his mother's?
We're cleaner than ours anyway. Yeah.
We're done.
We've done enough damage here.
Okay, there we go.
Yeah.
Anything you want to wrap up with thisfine episode of No Despair?
(44:20):
I'm going to.
I'm going to go eat dinner.Yeah. Rib fest.
Fucking rip fest again.
Yeah. Rib fest 2.0.We did. We talk about rib this now.
We didn't know we were going to it.
We were going to it.
But we have to know what happened.
Oh oh we got rib dog.
We got we got ribbed off.
We got ribbed off.
It's just not as fun as it sounds.
It's not as fun as that.
(44:41):
We went there right of much anticipation.
If you listen to the last episode. Right.
We talked about it quite a bit.I was so hungry.
And we went there and my mom had also goneand so she waved us over.
She was already in the lineupahead of time.
She's like, hey, come over here.So I was like, oh.
As my mom went over and stood with herwith, yourself and Ben and Danny
and we waited for, I think, a full hourand a half for the lineup,
(45:05):
and we got all the way to the kioskand for four ribs.
Beautiful smoky smell and everything.
And the people in front of usgot told no more ribs.
Literally the people in front of us. Yeah,we were second.
No more ribs at all.
And then we looked at the kiosk tothe next and their whole line dissipated.
Also, no more ribs.
And we were just like, what did you get?
(45:25):
What are you say?
All that was left because we were tryingto spend the whole time staring.
Okay,what am I going to do now? Are we okay?
What's my plan? What's my plan?
And then it ruined our planbecause we just had no combos left.
We were going to get the certain combosand stuff, and then I ended up paying.
Oh my God, it was likeI got a pound of brisket
for like 35 bucks or something crazy.
(45:45):
And then also,I mean, it was good, but like a damn.
And then a half chickenfor like 22 bucks or something.
Brisket fest. It's not chicken fest.
I know it was like kind of cold.
And then I got a couple of orders of beansthat were like each three
bucks or whatever, because I was like,I want to make sure I'm full.
Yeah, these beans were iced beans. Yeah.
Like icy cold.
Like, not just like, oh, they've been outin the weather and they're cool.
(46:06):
Like, it was summer hot outand they came out of a fridge.
Like they were like fucking beansof the chunks of ice I tried warning,
you guys are crazy.
And what's wild about thatis that you guys had said
you were going to takeyou had taken chicken out. Yeah.
And then you ended up goingand paying for the
most expensive chicken in the world,because I
that was all that was leftwas chicken and fucking brisket.
And I'm so glad I was chicken.That night was so brutal.
(46:28):
It was fucked. Yeah.
We literally so we took it.
Like, if you listen to the last episode,we're like, oh, I don't know.
We took it out and you're like, oh,
you have to eat chickenbecause you jerk chicken out.
And I'm like, oh man, I guessRib Fest is only there today.
And we got a chicken tomorrow.
Yeah. Go to rib. Best.No ribs left. Only chicken with pork.
And then we're just like,are you fucking kidding me?
So it ended up being like,
fucking 68 bucks or something crazylike that for like my couple
(46:51):
things of ice beans and a half chickenand like a pound of brisket.
And I ate that miserably and was cold.
I was being a little bitchbecause I had eaten brisket.
I brought a sweater.Yeah. It's just like freezing in.
Oh, man, was it was a terrible time.
Ribs was a big fucking.
It was it, it was, it wasn't.
It was sham hands and chicken fest.
That wasn't even.
(47:12):
It was then.It was a four out of ten of the best.
Next time I'll just be going on Saturday.
The go Saturday, go early, go to Philly.
Yeah. That's my that's on me.We went at 6:00.
We did two late and yeah, we, we,we postponed it too long.
I do have actually one more thingthat I want to add into this one,
or else it's going to be,a potential listener being upset again.
(47:33):
Oh. So I have to say this, it's jab. Jab.
Yeah. Oh, I know,
you know.
Okay, so I took a cool picture
of a guyin a old ranger outside of an old school
Burger King logo, and I'm like,yo, challenge, make a story about this.
And he's like, I got you, I got you.
Okay, so here it is.
(47:55):
This is the final entry. Okay?
Todd Jones was a middle of the road, man.
He lived an average lifeand had an average job.
Todd was the store manager of a BurgerKing restaurant in Portland, Maine.
His pride and average job.
He's a Burger King manager.Take that back.
Anyway. Sorry. Go ahead.
His prideand joy was his 1983 Green Ford Ranger.
(48:15):
On his day off, he drive around downtownwaving at the locals.
It wasn't much,but it put a smile on his face.
But all that would change on October 5th.
It was a Friday nightand Todd worked the night shift.
He came in to work at four, seven, 14,16 minutes before the shifts would start.
Nice.
As he walked by the front counter,the staff would all
greet him,knowing they needed to at least look busy.
(48:37):
Todd walked into the office,stared at his 30 year plaque.
Thanks for the 30 years of qualityservice, said the plaque.
And then,with his robot voice. It's program
I. Hello, Todd.
And then and theresomething snapped in Todd's mind.
He pulled out the bottle of bourbonin his desk and took a long pull.
He then returned to the front of the store
(48:58):
and told the staffhe would be back in 30 minutes.
He hopped into his 1983 green Ford Ranger,and the staff
saw him pull around the corner,
not realizing that was the lastthey would ever see of him.
About a week later, his green FordRanger was found 2087 miles away in Texas.
The local law enforcementfound it parked by an abandoned farmhouse
when the officer opened the door,there was no evidence of any wrongdoing.
(49:21):
The lead officer did, however,
find a note folded up on the passengerseat of the truck.
As he opened it up, it hadbut one thing scribbled on it.
It read dot,dot, dot, have it your way. Wow.
Screen pans out and transfers
(49:41):
to a table set with a Whopper,a side of onion rings and a large drink.
A professional voicethen reads until October 31st.
Burger King's classicWhopper meals on for only 699.
Try it todayBK commercial directed by David Lynch.
I don't think David Lynch,I don't think we can.
We can't say that, can't we?
Burger King think we're gonna get so sued.
Oh, we're gonna get so soon.Yeah, yeah. Worth it.
Yeah. Sorry. That was burger.
(50:02):
The few gone doesn't get us burgerQueen. Yeah.
If Coop God doesn't get us.
Yeah. What was the other sponsor?
I said it was another one. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.Anyways, thanks, JB job for the story.

So I've got a couple things.
I'm just gonna break it downon the beginning of this one.
We're going to do kind of a short one,I think this time,
but like a condensed, brief homie sesh.
(00:47):
Yeah, just like a short, brief condensed,like smaller, shorter.
Listen to it.Kind of like this one. Three hours long.
We sat for nine hours, and then we try towhittle it down to about six and a half.
Yeah,you'll get six solid minutes content.
So it's spooky season.
There's a couple of thingsthat I'm gonna talk about.
(01:07):
I'm going to talk about the,updates of the, Titan
submarine instance, because that'sall going to court right now.
Oh, so you remember about that,the Titan cookie submarine.
Submarine?
That was likethe offshoot of the Beatles.
It was that.
You remember that Titan shipthat went down to go, remember? Yep.
(01:29):
And now it's all going to courtand some shit's going down.
So I'm gonna talk about that a little bit.
And then I also got, some stuff about.
That's why I'm drinking it here.
Yeager, it's my October juice. I love it.
I love it.I know, you know, you've got a problem.
I got a problem with Yeager, man.
And then I also have one more thing about,
Oh, yeah.
(01:50):
Just a funny story about,people on a plane and an x rated movie
was played for an hour to every screen.
Don't give it all away. That's just.
That's the story. It was.
Yeah. Well,I just mentioned it, and then that was it.
Yeah. What do you got?
What do you got to bring to this episode?
We got a new, segment for Spooky seasonthat I like to call.
(02:11):
These are my villains.
These are my these are my.These are my villains.
Nice.
And, we're just going to go over
a real piece of shitwhenever I think of doing one.
No, I like that. That's cool.
Find somebody from historywho's done some terrible things.
And, the iron blue.
Who's that again?
Well, it was a contraption.Or it was a thing.
It was a thing that we talked about thatit was sort of.
(02:33):
These are my villain type would use.
Would you write?
But it sounded like a Mexican wrestler.
Yes. The iron.
Yes. Yes. Yeah. It was.
Cracks me up to this day.
But thinking about that,that little segment, look it up.
It's on our Instagram.
Cool.
Okay, so do you want to go into these
villains firstor you want to go with a little. Oh, good.
Okay, cool.
And that is this episode.
(02:54):
So these are my these are my these are mythese are my friend.
Thank you.
All right, so passengersleft speechless after X rated
movieis played on every screen during flight.
Yeah, that was speechless.
So Qantas Airways flight Qantas
Kiwi antes doesn't matterbut Qantas Qantas Airways flight
(03:15):
played an X rated movie on every screenwhich was impossible to turn off.
It was the first plane they'd ever flown.
Yeah. It was. Yeah.They've never sold out like this.
And this happened.
We're just flying back and forth.
It was a private jet.
Qantas Airways has come under firefor allegedly playing
an extremely inappropriate movieon all of its screens, and taking almost
(03:36):
an hour to realizewhether you wanted to or not.
You'll have heard all about roardogging flights in recent months.
However, I wonder what it would be calledif you sat down on the plane, were forced
to watch a film with graphic nudity,unable to switch channels or turn it off?
Well, that's
allegedly what happened on Qantasflight QF five nine
that was traveled from Sydney, Australiato Tokyo, Japan, yesterday.
(04:00):
So October 5th. So this is like brand new.
Sheesh.
Might hear a dogwhining in the background.
I just cause I got a new, dog ring.
Dog kennel ring.
What's that, a dog ring?
Isn't that where you breeddogs and a dog ring?
You got a new dog ring?
Michael Vick in it downstairs.
(04:21):
Sheesh. Shut up.
I'll feed you in a second.
Holy crap. No. It's where I was sitting.
A very cool dog.
And he's dope as hell.
His name is goose, but you may hearin the background linings.
Yeah, this is a good one,but he's a little high strung.
Very high strung. Yeah. Okay.
So blah blah, blah, blah blah.
The guy says had an in-flightentertainment system, was down on board
(04:43):
the flight, and after a one hour delay,the pilot decided to take off anyway.
But the only option left for the crewto play a movie on every screen.
Look, we've all been where someone's gota speaker and wants to jump on the ark.
It's a lot of pressure,so such responsibility,
not everyone is going to agreewith your choices.
Alas, to make it even more tricky decisionfor the Qantas crew,
the film was impossible to pause,damn or turn off one selected.
(05:07):
Just give it down.
It was.
Yeah, I was like, can we just havethe brightness down all the way?
At least so my kids don't see this,you know, don't.
And the film ended up on screensunfortunately ended up being that sort,
which certainly wasn't meantfor all ages of eyes.
The passengers continued.
Here's the kicker. The movie they playedwas extremely inappropriate.
It featured graphic nudity,a lot of sexting, the kind where you could
(05:27):
literally read the text on the screenwithout needing headphones.
It almost.
It took almost an hour.Video has sexting in it.
I know, that's what I was wondering.
Why bullshit B-movie isthis has like sexting in it and just
it was just like throwing a porn.
I can't wait until the next scene, baby.
I can't wait until the scene changes.
And then we're actually in the same roomdoing something together.
(05:47):
Oh, eight hours later.
Yeah, it's. Yeah, I that's whatI was watching. I'm like, oh.
And the other thing toois it doesn't say what film it was.
And I'm probably I'm sure it'sjust there are PR people are holding it.
Yeah. No you can't be just saying. Yeah.
It took almost an hour for this movie
for this before they switch to a more kidfriendly movie.
But it was super uncomfortablefor everyone,
(06:07):
especially with familiesand kids on board.
The passenger attached
three images of scenes in question,although only from the sexting parts.
No nudity because that wouldjust be repeating the same issue, right?
Was it just like 50 Shades or somethinglike they threw on like,
yeah, yeah, I don't, I don't even know.
So anyways,
I could get into like the, like theI never seen those movies deep naked.
I, I've, I've never I seen the first one.
(06:30):
I worked on the second one. Sheesh. Yeah.
I told you about. Right, right.Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then I was one of the male models.
I was the butt model. Yeah. Yes,I was the butt ball.
Yeah, that was that was my job.
No, I was, the guythat, like, I recognized the bus.
No, I let the the train go
through the set when we were recording,and I got shit from the ad.
(06:50):
Yeah, that's what I did. Yeah.
So the guy that fucked up the scene,part one,
Dylan McDaniel, is what I'm credited.
Nice one dude. Yeah, I know, solid.
Anyways, so like,the whole thing is broken down
and it's just them bitching about itand shit like that,
and then people are like
commenting on the post being like,oh, that's this sounds like something
that, like a pissed offpilot would do on his last day
or that's another thing,and apparently was just a solid accident
(07:13):
that played something that was likea it's not an X-rated movie.
I don't know why the titlesthat it's just clickbait,
but it's like probably an R-rated moviethat had nudity in it.
And then, yeah, it'snot like they just put on porn.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's what they would doif it was, if it was like an angry last,
you know, like it'ssome kind of prank or whatever,
probably some kind of fuck Facebook quit,probably just put on.
(07:33):
Yeah. Who knows.
Like selected the movie besidethe one that was supposed to be
or like, was like,oh, this is critically acclaimed.
It's an R-rated movie,but it's like has, like, graphic nudity.
The pilot doesn't give a shit.
He's got a job to do.
He's, you know, flying to Tokyo and he'sjust like, okay, well, let's put this on.
And then he's like, flying.And people are like, oh, oh, oh.
(07:53):
And then then if took the lineup to the bathroom and what do you call
those receptionists on the plane,a flight attendant that. Yes.
An hour for this.
You go up to their desk.
I don't approve of the movie that's on.
Right. And I have some peanuts.Could you wait and sit down?
I'll call your number when you're ready.Yeah. It's like, wait. Shit.
(08:14):
But it was, Yeah, it was crazy.
It took an hour for anybodyto realize or say anything,
and then they finally switch itto something more kid friendly. So.
Wow. One of the commentsthat I was just like,
it's like, yo, why do
why isn't just the go to Shrek like,just if you're ever in that situation
where you people fly all the time though,Shrek, they've seen Shrek 9630, then
fine, they get raw dogging 52 finally,finally those people were fine with it.
(08:39):
They had seen Shrek too many,too many times already.
They probably put it on.
They fucking.
They fucking got what they, they paid forso many times. I'm.
Who am I kidding?
Yeah. Scenes recommended somebody once.
Oh, yeah, sorry I won't.
Oh, yeah. It's a safe bet though, right.
Like there's millions safe bet.
And and there's several Shrek movies.Yeah.
So you just just recycle.
(09:00):
Just rinse and repeat. So anyways, that'sthe first story I wanted to go into.
We don't have to elaborateany more than that.
Oh, that'sas much as anyone can handle of that.
Pretty funny though.
Just imagine being on a planean hour of late.
So to that,hold on now, just before you continue.
That reminds meof a smaller version of this where,
my coworker and I
were helping a rather elderly gentleman
(09:21):
to purchase some CBD oil or somethinglike that in the dispensary.
Right.
And we're standing there and helping,and then Spotify decides to jump to
a track that is just poor noises,like like White Zombie.
I don't know.
It's just it's just like, not even music.
There's no music.
It's just like the audioof a hardcore porn.
(09:42):
Like just a woman. Like moaning.
And if I know what the songis, it's not a song.
It's not a song.It's just a track of that.
I'm telling you, it's just likesomebody has trolled, like somebody
has put on a porn audio, right? Right.
Like it doesn't go to a some rap songor something.
It's not like the Biggie Smalls thing.
It's like it's just straight up porn.
(10:04):
So like, we're just like mortified.And I tried to be like,
I tried to be like this old man saying,they're looking at us.
Like what?
Like terrified white eyes.
I'm just like, oh, thanks a lot. Spotify.
Let me go change that. And traffic.
And he just, like, dead stared at usand my my coworker, I swear to God,
they were going to die.
Like, that's the horrifying.
(10:24):
It was so bad.You trying to run a professional business?
I skip the song.
I didn't even look at what it was,which was dumb.
I should have checked it outand blocked it or whatever.
I just totally like next and.
Okay, no more of that, you know?
And like some other music, apparentlyit happened again to this same person.
The same poor person. Old dude.
No. Oh, the same worker. Coworker.Yes, yes.
(10:47):
Well, some people were in the storeand my boss at the same time.
This is somebody fucking with them.Fucking.
Well, it's just shuffle, right?
It just like the algorithmput it on again for some reason.
What does this person listening
to we're listening to, like,Thundercat and like, hell yeah, hip hop.
Yeah. You know, all kinds of shit.
Nothing to do with that, obviously.What are they listening to?
Well, they call that noises to follow.
(11:07):
Something to study too.
The reason why I bring that up is because,like White Zombie, that's Rob zombie.
Yeah.
His first band, White Zombie,more human Than human, is a song.
And the literallylike the first minute of that song
is just a girl getting railedand it's her moaning.
It's like danger.
And it's like, yeah,which would still be awkward as fuck.
I mean, we didn't get let it get thatlong, but like, yeah, it's still awkward.
(11:29):
It wasn't.
I don't think it was Rob zombie.
We're not listening to anything like that.So but
I've just had Spotify for five yearsand I've never had that happen to me.
Know, I don't know what the hell,but we got trolled or something happened.
And then a third timeit happened to this same person. No.
And apparently they found the song.
I'm like blocked at this time.
And like,did they tell you what song I'm now? I'm.
(11:49):
No, I don't know what it is.I don't know what the hell it was.
It's just like, you know, that's too good.
That's fine.
It was crazy. I felt so bad.
They would just be mortified.
Like,I mean, what do you do in that situation?
You're like, sweating balls.
Run to the back, I did it. Yeah.
So sorry.
This Spotify keeps doing thishorrible thing like running.
And they're just like, well, it's Spotify.
So it's obviously algorithmicto what you're doing.
So what are you doing.Yeah we're horny bitch.
(12:12):
What like that.
Yeah, totally. Oh my God.
Terrible. That sucks. Yeah.
Anyway, so that's how to feel completelymortified in front of a customer.
Been there.
Don't think you have.
Not like that.
I've definitely had it. Where?
I was working at a store.
The store that you used to work at,
(12:34):
And we had buddy have,his laptop plugged in, and then there
was, like, certain music playingthat is on the no no list.
And then a certain regional managerwalking in
and not being stoked about what was goingon, the speakers noises.
And I was mad.
One timewe were like, closing the root cellar.
And, we had the door, like, kind of opento bring in that apple carts and stuff.
(12:55):
We had ice cube, no Vaseline playing nice.
And it's just at its worst point in this.
Dad and his kid walk in and they're like,oh, hello, are you guys okay?
Run to the back and like, turn like,dive for the volume knob.
Like you're not supposed to be here.
What the hell?
Get your yams and get the fuck out.
Yeah.
So mortified. Back to it now.
(13:16):
It's like,whatever. People know rap music.
Don't even listen to what's going on.
Oh, yeah, just white noise.
No, Not.
Oh, no. No.
Anyway, anything on the speakers, rappersand white noise
speakers at a grocery store is white noiselike it could be train.
It could be ice cube,
right.
Half, half the time you're like,what the fuck?
Anyways? Okay.
Do you want to go into your segment ofThese Are My Villains?
(13:37):
These are my villains? Yeah.
So in this case, sinceit's the spooky season, I've always,
had a particular
interest and distaste for this guy, SirMatthew Bailey Begbie.
You've probably heard of him.
The judge? I've never heard of him.
Never heard of the hanging judge.You know, Bastion Square downtown.
Yeah, right.
So, like, their courthouse was down thereor whatever.
(13:59):
And that's apparently Bastion Squareis where they used to do the hangings.
I have never done the ghost tours.
Yeah, I have, I have done it.
So yeah. That's probably where I knowthis from or whatever.
I've done a couple of those ghost tours.But anyway.
Yeah.
So, born 18, 19, and died
in 94, 1894, and he was a British lawyer,politician and judge.
(14:20):
In 1858, he became the first chief Justiceof the Crown Colony of British Columbia.
In colonial times,and in the first decades after, British
Columbia joined Confederationas a province of Canada.
So just like shortly after,a very shitty colonizer
motherfucker, this guy is awful.
I did an extreme piece of shitI actually have never heard of this year.
(14:42):
You're enlightening me rightnow. He's a racist asshole.
So he, Begbie served as the first judgeof the Supreme Court Colony of British
Columbia, 1858 1866,and then in the same capacity
in the Supreme Court,the United Colony of British Columbia.
From 1866 to 1870.
He was Chief Justice of the Supreme Courtof the United Colonies.
La la la la la, and served as the first.
(15:03):
You just avoid saying the same thing,you Province of British
Columbia and served,until his death on June 11th, 1894.
Whatever.
In the years after his death, Begbiecame to be known as the Hanging Judge.
Wai Wai.
The hanging judge to do this sentence.
Everybody to hang. Yes, that makes sense.
(15:23):
Yeah, a lot of people, just lookingthrough here and give it of some ums.
Traveled through British Columbiaon foot and later
horseback at administering justiceand sometimes in formal circumstances.
But he is said to have always wornhis judicial robes and wig
(15:45):
when the court was in session for him.
Yeah. That's great.
Professional sharp indeed.
In 1860, Begbie found a white Californianman by the name of William Marshall
guilty of assaulting a First Nations manbased only on the testimony
of first Nations people,the first time this had ever occurred.
Begbielearned a number of indigenous dialects,
and even conducted trials in thoselanguages without use of an interpreter.
(16:08):
He had actually I.
I, I didn't read this part before.
He had great friendshipswith a number of chiefs,
and was clearly sympatheticwhen it came to trying
to impose colonial lawon indigenous people.
Well, I take it back.He's less of a villain. I thought.
I definitely didn't read this partbefore he recognized the concept
of Aboriginal marriageand allowed an oath for truth telling that
free having Aboriginal beliefs,he allowed people.
(16:29):
He allowed people of other culturesto swear an oath and truth on an object
sacred to them in place of the Bible.
Wow, that's super.
Hey, hold up, hold up. Okay, okay.
So so the hanging judge, I mean.
Okay, let me let me go backreal quick to what I said.
Both learning. That's crazy.
Bagby ruled in 1886 that in thata law imposing very high license fees,
(16:50):
discriminated against Chinese people,even though it did not mention them,
because laundries at the time where overwere overwhelmingly run by Chinese.
Another ruling with a similar logic
two years latercompelled the city of Victoria
to renew the licenseof Chinese pawnbrokers.
So he was actually speakingon behalf of them. I don't know why.
I was like almost half asleepearlier when I read this.
It's like the greatest.
Yeah, I know, it's actuallynot a racist piece of shit at all.
(17:11):
Whoops.
He actually, like, learned all of it.
Well, all it said was that he like,
he hung a lot of people,but they were mostly native people.
I just don't understand why it was thatI read that
I didn't understand where it was that,
anyway, but the hanging judge is so.
Well, I mean,
(17:31):
I mean, the sourceof the name of his legacy was tarnished
because he presided over a, court inwhich five chill totem chiefs were hanged.
Hanged five chiefs.
But, I mean, did they do shitty shit?
Because it doesn't matterwhat race you are, if you're shitty shit.
Before 1871, only
three white men were hanged for murderafter trials that presided over Bagby.
(17:53):
In the same period, 22Indians were hanged.
Beg the obtained reprieve for 11 others,
though he never so muchas urged a reprieve for a white man.
So so he was still on thein the corner of the,
native people,it seems, which is kind of badass.
And I mean, obviously Vancouver Island.
So we have a very huge populationof First Nations.
(18:13):
So I mean, it ratio just makes sense.
But at the same time, likewas he doing it?
Was he like going to batfor the white people
and then not going to batfor First Nations? Or was he
at leastattempting to do what he could do?
Seems like the other way around.
Like he wouldn't help white people.He was like, fuck these guys.
Okay, so these are my heroes. New segment.
Yeah, these are my heroes.
(18:34):
Okay.
I kind of like the twist.
This is fucking good.
And then I totally had this guy wrong,like, in the 1800s to, like, that way.
Like, there's
probably people with less sympathythan this guy nowadays, which is crazy.
Which is not right, obviously.
But, like,
this is what's crazy.
This is what I.
(18:55):
This is on the CRT, Victorian region.
In 1858, Matthew Bigbybecame the first chief justice
from colony, British Columbia.
Everybody says that after a land dispute,Begbie hanged many members of the.
I'm going to not even be ableto sell a silk coat and maybe, nation.
Yeah, including several chiefs.
This land was stolen
from the indigenous peoplesof the Cariboo, Chilcote and region.
(19:16):
After the government approved a roadto Barker Ville without consultation
with surrounding nations.
Begbie got the nickname of the HangingJudge by being ruthless in his conviction
of criminals in and quotesby sentencing them to be hanged.
A majority of these criminalswere indigenous.
This form of institutionalized
colonialism led to the assimilationand death of many First Nations.
(19:37):
This courthouse is where hehis actions took effect.
Today he is commemorated for his impartialand fair rulings
through colonist revisionist history.
Okay, so we're gonna take two at this.
These are my villains.
Yeah, yeah.
Because, Thanks, ghost.
Because I don't know, though, now.
Because it's saying,like in colonist revisionist history.
(19:58):
Because that is celebratedas impartial and fair rulings.
But like this random, on CRD communitygreen map.
Okay.
Whenever that is a celebrationof living sustainably in Victoria region
of British Columbia, I don't know.
This is their they really are not a fan.
So so so this is back and forth.
So this guy's.
(20:19):
Yeah the Wikipedia says that he dida lot of things for indigenous people
in this, communities green map,whatever it is.
CRD Community Green Map is sayingthe hanging judge got his nickname
by convictions of criminals in quotesand something,
then sentencing them to be hanged.
Your history homie. His his name.
Yeah. We got to ask Dan about this.
Dan yeah, I was gonna sayhis name. Is your name Dan.
(20:41):
Okay, well, what do you thinkhe would go back to this?
This is not.
I expected to just talk about how shittythis dude was being a Cullen,
but I'm confused.
I, like I reread it and upon reading it,I'm like, wait, hold on.
He's actually kind of like at the centerof some controversy, it seems.
So I gotta get my facts straight.
I gotta talk to my homie Danand then I guess we'll revisit this.
These are my villains or heroes,I don't know.
Yeah, it's up to me.
(21:01):
History is murky and gray, I don't know.
And if, you know, chime in, say somethingto us, let us know what we're up to.
Yeah. What kind of podcaster am I?
I don't even know what the hell.
Well, I mean, if youif you hear some silly shit about a guy,
roughly like, if it just goes to show,you got to be a little bit like you got to
look closer.
You got to. Yeah. In-depth.
The the scenario,I thought I knew what was up
(21:22):
and then now I'm looking at himlike he was just a scary judge
who hung everybody in my memory,you know, from the ghost tour.
And that's why this place is haunted.
Because of all the victims of that.
He hung victims, you know? Yeah.
The condemned and criminals.
Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so I thought, like, oh, it's just,more evidence of,
colonial,you know, oppression, basically.
(21:45):
And. Right.
But then he's also allowing peopleto swear oaths upon their sacred items
instead of the Bible.
Like, that's pretty funny, whichwould never happen, like 100 years ago.
That's crazy.
A judge over 100 years ago.Yeah. In the 18.
Yeah. That's.Well, yeah, over a hundred years ago.
Okay.
Well,if y'all know, about this, certain,
instance, chime in, let us know,see if this guy was a good guy or bad guy.
(22:07):
But maybe we'll have Dan on the thing,and we'll bring that up to him
and see if he can enlighten us on that, because that's.
Yeah.
Is that a hero or a villain?We don't know. Yeah.
It seems like he gets a bad rap.
And then this is not so that he actuallydid better than than people thought.
Maybe he was fair with it.
Maybe those people deserved to be hanged.
Maybe they just needed to hang a lot ofpeople back then and then like, I'm like,
(22:29):
I'm trying to say thiswithout saying this in a in a people
right to be hanged,people need to be hanged.
No, that's what you're trying to say.
People need to die. Come on.
You know what I'm saying? So if.
Because Victoria Island,Vancouver Island, is it Victoria?
Victoria. Victoria Island, man.
Yeah. Fuck, yeah.
Is, is, like we had, like, a very bigpopulation of First Nations people.
(22:54):
And if there was, we're herebecause. Exactly.
We literally came over herewith stupid shit.
They were the first ones.
So her nation,if they if the population was granted
more of them than us, then it wouldmake sense that there is more of them.
I see what you're sayingas criminals. Hung.
I don't know if in Victoriaat that moment.
You know what I mean?
That they outnumberedwhite people at the time.
(23:16):
I don't think it's what you're saying.
Maybe because.
Well, because it's if if you do somethingbad, regardless of your race,
you're just saying. You're just saying,like, statistically there's more of them.
So that's why more of them would have beencriminals represented for them.
Or and then if, if they're, if they'reif and if people are just being like, oh,
we hung a bunch of First Nations.I think it's a lot of racist.
I think it's a lot of racist cops.
Yes. That'sI think that's like it's. Yeah.
(23:37):
You know, they they know how to like
they just ifif they didn't listen to them,
they would just lock them up and say,you're going to be hanged.
Now or you're white.
I'll hear you.
Well,so this hanging judge was probably like,
seeing a bunch of thisand being like, no, you can't just
just becausethey're, you know, indigenous,
you just going to put them before me hereand I'm going to execute them.
So he tried to help peopleget off of these
(23:59):
sounds like charges, which is either way.
Yeah. This potentially way. Okay.We're going to go to our first sponsor.
What is our first sponsor.
It's going to be goop off.
Goop off. Yes.
Good stuff is
is a product that helps you get all kindsof sticky bullshit off of other stuff.
Kind of like Goo Gone.
Don't say that.
Oh. Oh, yeah, they just say that. Did.
(24:20):
No. It's better.
It's not like that at all. It'sbetter. It's about eight times as strong.
Which is why it's able to take the paintright off your car.
It'll take your beard right off your face.
It's, Yeah, goop off. It's essentially acid.
Yeah.
Just awful solutely just don't get it onanything that you care about, but it's,
It's all.
It'll get the goop off.
It's healthy, it's all. Yeah.
No preservatives. Yeah. Yeah. No. Well,
(24:44):
goop off.
Oh. What are you kids doing in there?
What? Yeah. Hey, what's up with the fun?
We're goofing off. Yeah.
It's a goof off.
What do you mean, your grouping off?
Oh, we're just taking the goop off stuff.
It's fun in front of my nose hairs.
(25:04):
Stings my eyes.
Goop of goop.
Cleans anything off of any surface, ever.
It will dissolve absolutely anything.
Teeth, saliva. Bones. Fingernails.
Wait, wait.
Goop. Oh, can I wait?
Can I use this to get rid of my,my mom's new boyfriend?
(25:24):
Absolutely.
Oh, yeah. He's a real dick. Goop.
I hate TV.
Okay,
let's do anything that's already to them.
All right, we're right back in you.And that was so much fun goofing off.
I love goofing off.
Yeah, we're just goofing off.
Yeah, that's my favorite Russian leader.
Group off.
Yeah, doctor. Group off.
(25:44):
Doctor GU boss is, crazy.
Well, I hope you guys are havingas much fun as we are.
I actually want to go.
I hope you have as much fun as me.
Yeah, I feel ridiculousif you get on my facts wrong.
No, it's kind of cool when you're like,I slander the good man.
But I don't know, though.
Damn it, you sultry.
(26:06):
That good name of sultry.
Oh, it wasn't made it hot.
It's solid. It.
That's what I'll try to say.
What's his name?
Doctor Matthew Bagby.
It's not a doctor.
He's a judge.
Man can only do so much.
Judge Matthew Bigby.
Yes. Yeah.
I'm doctor judge.
(26:26):
Party clown.
Matthew big B, he did it all, man.
He was nothingyou could do with that. Yeah.
All right, so we're going to go intothe next segment, which is oh, no. But,
16 weirdfacts you didn't know about Yeager.
I don't know much about yeah.
You're really and it's one of my favorite.
(26:49):
Drinks.
I get to do that
because they're paying me to.
Come on. Oh, yeah?
Yeah, you're paying us.
Yeah. It's a real sponsor. For once,I love you.
I love you, too. Yeah.
So that's my favorite drink of all.
Yeah, yeah.You never said shit about shit.
Whenever I'm goofing off,I just sip on the agar.
That's called the agar.
Yeah, that's what I do. On a Saturday.
We get goop off Yaga sesh.
(27:10):
So it was invented in a vinegar factory,
Yeah.
Don't you say
really?
Yeah.
Kurt Mask wrote Yeager's original recipein 1935, but it was 20 years before
that he took over his father'svinegar factory and wolf and butcher.
(27:32):
Do you know Wilson butcher?
It's a German company. Yes.
Or a German place. Nut company?
No, I don't know it.
That stop producing the acidic stuffto focus entirely on manufacturing
spirits, eventuallycreating the concoction we know and love
today.
It takes 365 days to make or a year.
(27:54):
A year for for for it to get to bottle.
So it's aged for a year,which I didn't know that in a in a barrel.
In a barrel. Yep. That's how they do it.
And they have 56 herbs and spices
including citrus peel, licorice, ginseng.
And that has never changed. 79 years.
Well that's gross.
(28:15):
Do you say licorice peel? No. Citrus.
Oh, okay. So hold on.
Citrus peel and licorice.
Licorice is not my thing.
I think that'swhat I. I actually don't mind.
Yeah, I agree, except for the licoriceflavor, which is basically all.
It tastes like anus. Quite horrible.
Yes. Fennel anus.
Family fennel.
Fatal anus. That's not how you say it.
It's rock star persona. Fatal anus.
(28:40):
It takes every year to make
that too many eggs.
The Germans call it liver glue.
That's that's gross.
But they call it Jagermeister Dagger.
No, they call it liverglue. Actually says that.
Okay, sure. While many of us know.
Yeah, I get my storyby way of nightclub shot glass.
It was actually inventedas a digestive in Germany.
(29:00):
It's still popularfor an after dinner sip.
That's why it's lovingly known as Lieberkiss.
Lister.
I said that properly.
It's.
Which is translates to liver glue.
Yeah.
It helps you get rid of youryour liver sticky.
Yeah.
Jagermeister heals
not medically proven but it was sold.
(29:23):
The I get Meister heals not medically.
It's some. Yeah.
Yeah some. Yeah. Yeah.
Like many herbal liqueur is.
Jagermeisterwas originally used medicinally.
And even today, peopleswear by its healing properties
for easing flu symptomsfrom coughs to sore throats.
And apparently it was back in the day.
You would have to get Jagermeisterover the counter at a pharmacy.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, it's like a tonic for you.
(29:43):
Yeah. What ails you?
Yeah. Really?Just getting drunk. Yeah, it.
Well, yeah. Yeah, I feel greatbecause I'm drunk. Yeah, yeah.
It's a summer drink.
Or at least that's the inherentimplication of Jagermeister spice.
A winter edition of the herbal liqueurmade with the same 56 ingredients,
but with an emphasis on cinnamonand vanilla.
(30:06):
So that's the more wintry version. Yep.
And is it called the same thing? Yep.
Winter liver group.
Winter, whatever.
Yep. Winter liver group? Yep.
That's what we drink in the winter.
This is warm.
It's the world's best selling liqueur.
Wow. Yeah. Wow.
(30:28):
Wow. And that's. And that's the, Yeah.
Okay. Well, that was all 16. Well, good.
I know all those names.
I gave you the thethe cool ones. Yeah. Nice.
I thought it was going to be like.Do you know what else is in Yegor?
Licorice.
Number 14.
Do you know what elseis in Yegor? Lemon peels.
Hey, hey, do you know what else is in it?
(30:51):
Tree bark. Is it?
Yeah. It's not, it's not.No it's not. Yeah.
But anyway, it's just like everythingI eat, it's my favorite.
It's my favorite liqueur.
So basically the best batch.
And I call my October juice
I like I like drinking itduring the spooky season.
It's one of my freaking all dayhaving you.
Yeah. You're a mess. You'll find out.
(31:11):
No. Part one just for this episodebecause it's just seemed right.
Well, I had it on handand it was something to talk about.
And you're having mine as well?
That's right.Yeah, I'm having yours as well. Yeah.
All right.
And then we're goingto go into our last segment,
which is a haunting final messageand other takeaways from the Coast
Guard inquiryinto the Titan submersible implosion.
Spooky.
(31:32):
That's perfect.
So, we all remember the, Titan?
Yeah. Submersiblethat went down. Remember the Titan?
The football player movie?
Oh, yeah.
Just one dude.
Yeah, that's what he's up to.
Yeah. Fuck.
You went down
deep sea and exploded.
More than a year
(31:54):
after the Titan submersible imploded,killing all five voyagers on board.
The story of the ill fated
expedition to the Titanichas taken the form of a modern day Greek
tragedy, overflowing with mortal prideand heedless testimony.
During the first week of the hearingby a US Coast Guard panel probing
the disaster, has painted a damningportrait of the Washington based company
that developed and operatedthe 23,000 pound submersible,
(32:16):
as well as its founder, who charge deeppocketed passengers $250,000 per dive.
So if you're obvious everybody's familiarwith what the fuck happened, I would
imagine that this Titan submersiblewent down deep to look at the Titanic.
They didn't ask James Cameronbecause he's done it.
(32:36):
No, they tried to cut costs,which is hilarious
considering it's a which is so fucked,so like theirs.
But anyway,I was talking to a homie at work
and he like, so like the actual engineer,which I'm pretty sure is
explained exasperatedly
in this, or it's exasperatingly
like, in long gated,
(32:57):
it's it they use too many words.
But basically what happened was
there was an engineer safety engineerthat came aboard and,
the CEO, who was now dead,
told him to get in the shipand to go for a test run.
And he said,I am not going in that damn thing.
Yeah. And they fired him. Yeah, exactly.
That's that's the type of shita billionaire will do. And then,
(33:18):
since
Monday, people who once workedwith exploration promoter Ocean Gate
and other described a terse final messagesent seconds before contact was lost,
what one witness called a smokeand mirrors company culture
centered on profits rather than science.
A malfunction of the Titan just daysbefore imploded, and repeated dire
warnings that were ignored before disasterstruck 15 months ago.
(33:38):
Stockton Rush, the founder and CEOof the vessel's operator, businessman Shah
Dasa Dawood, and his 19 year old son SwirlMan Dawood,
businessman Hamish Harding and Frenchdiver Paul Henry Nego were all killed.
Those remains were matched to the five menon the on board through DNA
testing and analysis, accordingto the Marine Board of Investigation.
(34:02):
So one thing that needs to be very clearis that there has been, up to this point,
a perfect track record in deepsubmergence, Chris Roman, a professor
at the University of Rhode Island'sGraduate School of Oceanography, told CNN.
The second is it's not as cavalier,high risk.
Every dive is like a daredevil event,if not properly.
There's no shortcuts here,especially in this business.
And if you cut corners,it will bite you. Why?
(34:24):
Yeah.
So I mean, it's one of those thingswhere it's just
this is what the whole world is.
And see, this is why it's so hardfor everyone to be sad about it.
Right?
Like when somebody is just absolutely asking for it like that, you know, like just
like.
Like it looks
the word, you know, the s-word,it looks like they're tried to die.
(34:47):
Yeah.
You know, but they're they're not
they're obviously had lots to live forand didn't want to die.
So like,
what is going on here?
You're just this hubristic.
You're like, you're you've gotso much money that you don't understand.
When someone tells you know it and you're
literally not listening to physics,you won't listen to the ocean.
Yeah. Like you're like,no, no, I will go here.
(35:07):
And it's like, what you.
And then not even accept me on that.
People who actually are engineersand went to schooling for this shit,
telling you the intelligence
that's the entitlement you eventhey cannot like logic
can't tell this person no, no.
It's like no, no,
no, I just have to believe in manifestand I will make it just fine.
Trust me, it's just fine.Look at this thing.
Clang, clang, clang on the side like it'ssolid as a rock.
(35:28):
Not understanding how fucking muchpressure is under the ocean and like, how
what it takes.
And you can tell his greedy brainwhich like rest in peace to him to.
I like it because it's never cool again.
It's never cool when human life is lost.
Their families.
My heart goes out to them and stuff,right?
And now, of course,they have to deal with the entire world,
like ridiculing theirthe death of their loved one.
Like those people who went with them.
(35:49):
He went the CEOthat basically caused all this.
I'm talking about their loved oneswho are left behind the victims, right?
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
So these people have to nowlisten to jokesters like us being, like,
all fucking.
They're asking for it, you know, like,it sucks because most people
just get to mourn an accidentthat is tragic.
Doesn't matter how much money they had,they're still people to those people.
They're still very close to them.
(36:10):
And like their loved ones, dads,you know, brothers, whatever, husbands.
And now the whole worldis like fucking laughing at them
because we're angry at billionairesfor having an excess of money.
And basically that's an evil thing
to do, to have so much fucking moneythat other people have nothing, you know?
But like, at the same time, it's like
people are so angrythey want to see that sort of shit happen.
(36:30):
You know, they want to see a billionaire,a bunch of billionaires
crunched by their own hubris. Yeah.
And it's it's well, it's crazy.
Basically is is in layman's terms,
like he was obviously a smart guythat was able to create what he created.
But at the same time,
like what he initially thought wasall I got to go is down, back
up, and I can get these rich peopleto give me $250,000 per person.
(36:52):
So just the two, the two people,which was a rich like, family from.
I'm not going to guess where that was.
It doesn't specify
those 500 grand in his pocket.
Yeah, just going down in the oceana couple hours up 500,000 bucks.
It's all.He thought he was blinded by that, right?
Exactly. And just. Yeah, like,I don't know.
So, Horrible.
(37:12):
One of the final haunting messagesfrom the Titan
submersible was delivered at 10:14 a.m.
local time in Newfoundland, Canada.According to an animation
from the Coast Guard hearing.
All good here
is one of the last things I see.
Half an hour later, about 1047 local time,the Titan sent another message
to its mothership,the Polar Print, saying it had dropped two
(37:35):
is referring to weight the submersible,so it dropped two weights.
Holding the submersible,
which could shed to eitherreturn to the surface
or to ease its descent into the dark,hostile deep insects.
In six seconds after that was transmitted,contact was lost,
so a lawsuitby the family of one of the victim
has claimed the message about 90 minutesinto the dive was an indication
(37:57):
the crew might have knownsomething was wrong
and were trying to abort the mission.
Second, after that brief communication,the Titan was pinged for the last time,
according to the opening presentationof the two week hearing.
Days later, authorities found its wreckageon the floor of the North
Atlantic Ocean several hundred yardsfrom the remains of the Titanic,
according to the Marine Board
of Investigation,
which is the highest level of inquiryby the Coast Guard, the smallest of all
(38:18):
lost contact with its mothershipthe morning of June 18th, 2023,
when it failed to resurface,a dramatic internal
search and rescue missionunfolded in remote.
Yeah, blah blah.
So is he
a key witness during the hearingsfirst week was David Lockridge,
a former director of marine operationsfrom Ocean Gate who has expressed concerns
about the safety of the submersible.
(38:38):
Ocean Gate Company culture was centered
on making money and offeredvery little in the way of science.
Lockridge described a 2018 reportin which he expressed safety concerns
over ocean gate operations, and said,there's no way I was signing off on this.
He had no confidence
whatsoever in the submerged submersiblesconstruction, he testified.
Lockridge said his responsibilitywas to ensure the safety of the crew,
(38:59):
clients and training pilots,but he felt more like a show pony
because no one else was qualifiedas a pilot.
It was all smoke and mirrors, he said.
One of the wit, he said, of the waythe company operated all the social media
that you seeabout all these past expeditions,
they always hadissues with our expeditions.
Manufacturer of
the Titans viewport and acrylicwindow of the submersible had built
(39:22):
and certified itfor a depth of a thousand, 1000m
or about 323,280ft.
But Lockridge said Ocean Gateintended to take the vessel to 4000m.
So blah blah, blah blah blah,
and then and then four timesas deep as they needed to go.
Yeah. That's terrible.
And then he, he refers
(39:42):
this as kind of ironic as
an ocean wreck looking for an ocean wreck
because the Titanic was an ocean wreck.
Yeah.
And this was an ocean wreck, so too bad.
But, Yeah.
So anyways,they're actually currently in, court
right now trying it, which I can't
believe was already a year and a half agothat this happened,
which is kind of tremendous crazy.Yeah. Time goes by.
(40:04):
Yeah. But, Yeah.
It was controlled by an Xbox controller.
Yeah, pretty much. Right. It was.It was all right. Yeah.
As for controller and Xbox controller,yeah.
Mad Catz probably. It was like a no.
He wild. Yeah.
But, there it feels so terrifiedgoing down on that thing with any sense.
But yeah.
No there's like I mean, I don't knowif maybe I said this before, but,
(40:28):
I think it was Duncan Trussell.
We had an interviewed a guy who studiesbillionaires and basically said, like,
the more he studied them and the morehe started sort of thinking that socio,
you know, well, in a way,
I guess, but basically it's morejust like a low level brain damage.
Like to have that much money, you putsyou out of touch with like a low level.
(40:48):
You got like a low level brain damageconsidering what he figures,
like he's talked to some of themand like been like, so
this guy is planningto build a bit of the rocket to space.
He wants to live on Mars or whatever.
He's talking to one of these billionairesthat's got like a a shuttle.
He wants to he's building.
It's like,okay, you're building this shuttle.
It's like on board.
You know, what happens when you run out ofI can't remember what it was.
(41:09):
It was like when you run out of, like,anything, essentially you run out
of lithium batteries, run out of fucking,you know, paper towel, for fuck's sake.
You run out of, like,you know, basic necessities, stuff that.
Yeah, stuff too.
Like disinfect, you know, like youstart running out of stuff.
And he was basically just like,right, right.
So bring more batteries like he writesmakes a no.
Like he's so focused on the core,it's like, wait a minute.
(41:30):
No, you just missed the point.
It doesn't matter how much you bring you,there's no more after that.
You can't bring enoughfor your whole life.
And to make a colony and to, like, sustainthe rest of your existence.
What are you doing? Like,they just aren't quite getting it.
You just can't tell them.
No, logically, that's impossible becausethey're like, oh, that's ridiculous.
That's what they saidwhen I built my company from nothing.
And you're holding people,it's just like you.
(41:52):
You've been told yes so much in your life,and you have such fucking influence
and power that nothing tells you.
No, not even nature tells these guys no.
And so, you know, and that's how we get,you know, that's how we get industry built
and that's how we go to the moon and blah,blah, blah, blah.
Take risks. Right.
And so it's just like,you know, yeah, I get what they're saying.
Be a little cavalier.
This is how the world that we live intoday was built.
(42:14):
A lot of people died in order to buildthis world we're living in today.
But at the same time, it's just like,
you know,Rome, Rome, the place that built.
It wasn't built in a day.
No, I've heard that before, but, Yeah.
No, it's basically just so.
And then hubris. Right. And so.
And then the final thingI'll say about this is that he literally,
was on record saying
(42:35):
at some point you have to avoid safety
and just go with your gut instinct.
He was literally like quoted being like,you just got to do it.
If you keep worrying about safety,you're going to be held back
and you're not going to achievewhat you're supposed to achieve,
he said as he drove out of the planewithout a parachute.
Essentially like whatthe CEO of this was like, you like,
(42:56):
there's I had too many people in my waytalking about safety.
Yeah. And it was holding me back.
Yeah. Crazy. So yeah. Well, that's
it's not holding him back anymore.
Nope. It's not a no.
It did actually held him in anyway.
Yeah.
So yeah thethe heart goes out to the victims.
Enough about that.
We'll probably never talk about that again
because that talked it alreadylast time when it happened.
(43:17):
And now we're talking about again.
Yeah I know we talked about this.
Yeah I'm pretty sure we talked about itwhen it happened.
I think we mentioned it.Yeah. Maybe I just mentioned it. Sorry.
Before this. Yeah.
So we talked about it before this.
My dog is looking to, eat dinner.
Your dog really needs to be fed.Is down there.
So that's one of them.
No, this is a good episode.
Mr. Goose, you're good. Bud. Yeah.
Goose? Goose.
(43:39):
You okay?
Goose. Stop whining. Goose.
Say hi to say hi to goose.
Goose,do you have something to say? Goose?
And he just.
He's eating the mic.
He's literally just put it in his body.
He's just like all these. He just. All.
I mean, you did the mice.
You did just, like,offer him a treat, basically.
But it was just a microphone.
That was kind of cool.
(44:00):
Gross.
Yeah, well,that was the sound of a dog's larynx.
Well, now,I don't know which one of them's been in
deuces mouth next time I use it.
So let's cool that.
Do you want to pauseso I can take his mother's?
We're cleaner than ours anyway. Yeah.
We're done.
We've done enough damage here.
Okay, there we go.
Yeah.
Anything you want to wrap up with thisfine episode of No Despair?
(44:20):
I'm going to.
I'm going to go eat dinner.Yeah. Rib fest.
Fucking rip fest again.
Yeah. Rib fest 2.0.We did. We talk about rib this now.
We didn't know we were going to it.
We were going to it.
But we have to know what happened.
Oh oh we got rib dog.
We got we got ribbed off.
We got ribbed off.
It's just not as fun as it sounds.
It's not as fun as that.
(44:41):
We went there right of much anticipation.
If you listen to the last episode. Right.
We talked about it quite a bit.I was so hungry.
And we went there and my mom had also goneand so she waved us over.
She was already in the lineupahead of time.
She's like, hey, come over here.So I was like, oh.
As my mom went over and stood with herwith, yourself and Ben and Danny
and we waited for, I think, a full hourand a half for the lineup,
(45:05):
and we got all the way to the kioskand for four ribs.
Beautiful smoky smell and everything.
And the people in front of usgot told no more ribs.
Literally the people in front of us. Yeah,we were second.
No more ribs at all.
And then we looked at the kiosk tothe next and their whole line dissipated.
Also, no more ribs.
And we were just like, what did you get?
(45:25):
What are you say?
All that was left because we were tryingto spend the whole time staring.
Okay,what am I going to do now? Are we okay?
What's my plan? What's my plan?
And then it ruined our planbecause we just had no combos left.
We were going to get the certain combosand stuff, and then I ended up paying.
Oh my God, it was likeI got a pound of brisket
for like 35 bucks or something crazy.
(45:45):
And then also,I mean, it was good, but like a damn.
And then a half chickenfor like 22 bucks or something.
Brisket fest. It's not chicken fest.
I know it was like kind of cold.
And then I got a couple of orders of beansthat were like each three
bucks or whatever, because I was like,I want to make sure I'm full.
Yeah, these beans were iced beans. Yeah.
Like icy cold.
Like, not just like, oh, they've been outin the weather and they're cool.
(46:06):
Like, it was summer hot outand they came out of a fridge.
Like they were like fucking beansof the chunks of ice I tried warning,
you guys are crazy.
And what's wild about thatis that you guys had said
you were going to takeyou had taken chicken out. Yeah.
And then you ended up goingand paying for the
most expensive chicken in the world,because I
that was all that was leftwas chicken and fucking brisket.
And I'm so glad I was chicken.That night was so brutal.
(46:28):
It was fucked. Yeah.
We literally so we took it.
Like, if you listen to the last episode,we're like, oh, I don't know.
We took it out and you're like, oh,
you have to eat chickenbecause you jerk chicken out.
And I'm like, oh man, I guessRib Fest is only there today.
And we got a chicken tomorrow.
Yeah. Go to rib. Best.No ribs left. Only chicken with pork.
And then we're just like,are you fucking kidding me?
So it ended up being like,
fucking 68 bucks or something crazylike that for like my couple
(46:51):
things of ice beans and a half chickenand like a pound of brisket.
And I ate that miserably and was cold.
I was being a little bitchbecause I had eaten brisket.
I brought a sweater.Yeah. It's just like freezing in.
Oh, man, was it was a terrible time.
Ribs was a big fucking.
It was it, it was, it wasn't.
It was sham hands and chicken fest.
That wasn't even.
(47:12):
It was then.It was a four out of ten of the best.
Next time I'll just be going on Saturday.
The go Saturday, go early, go to Philly.
Yeah. That's my that's on me.We went at 6:00.
We did two late and yeah, we, we,we postponed it too long.
I do have actually one more thingthat I want to add into this one,
or else it's going to be,a potential listener being upset again.
(47:33):
Oh. So I have to say this, it's jab. Jab.
Yeah. Oh, I know,
you know.
Okay, so I took a cool picture
of a guyin a old ranger outside of an old school
Burger King logo, and I'm like,yo, challenge, make a story about this.
And he's like, I got you, I got you.
Okay, so here it is.
(47:55):
This is the final entry. Okay?
Todd Jones was a middle of the road, man.
He lived an average lifeand had an average job.
Todd was the store manager of a BurgerKing restaurant in Portland, Maine.
His pride and average job.
He's a Burger King manager.Take that back.
Anyway. Sorry. Go ahead.
His prideand joy was his 1983 Green Ford Ranger.
(48:15):
On his day off, he drive around downtownwaving at the locals.
It wasn't much,but it put a smile on his face.
But all that would change on October 5th.
It was a Friday nightand Todd worked the night shift.
He came in to work at four, seven, 14,16 minutes before the shifts would start.
Nice.
As he walked by the front counter,the staff would all
greet him,knowing they needed to at least look busy.
(48:37):
Todd walked into the office,stared at his 30 year plaque.
Thanks for the 30 years of qualityservice, said the plaque.
And then,with his robot voice. It's program
I. Hello, Todd.
And then and theresomething snapped in Todd's mind.
He pulled out the bottle of bourbonin his desk and took a long pull.
He then returned to the front of the store
(48:58):
and told the staffhe would be back in 30 minutes.
He hopped into his 1983 green Ford Ranger,and the staff
saw him pull around the corner,
not realizing that was the lastthey would ever see of him.
About a week later, his green FordRanger was found 2087 miles away in Texas.
The local law enforcementfound it parked by an abandoned farmhouse
when the officer opened the door,there was no evidence of any wrongdoing.
(49:21):
The lead officer did, however,
find a note folded up on the passengerseat of the truck.
As he opened it up, it hadbut one thing scribbled on it.
It read dot,dot, dot, have it your way. Wow.
Screen pans out and transfers
(49:41):
to a table set with a Whopper,a side of onion rings and a large drink.
A professional voicethen reads until October 31st.
Burger King's classicWhopper meals on for only 699.
Try it todayBK commercial directed by David Lynch.
I don't think David Lynch,I don't think we can.
We can't say that, can't we?
