Dyatlov Pass Sort Of · The Common Professionals Podcast

• Michael: God I don't have to count. I'm bad at counting. That's why I do what I do professionally because I'm bad at counting. Yeah. I just kind of fucking wing it. Let's be honest, there's not many professions that you actually need to count. No, but I do want to yell at my fifth grade math teacher who said that I'll never have a calculator in my pocket. Jokes on you. I do. And it's a scientific one. She probably feels pretty dumb. And she you're probably not the only kid she said that to either. That sounds like a recycled joke throughout the years. Do you think that some teachers are going back like, fuck, they do have calculators in their pocket? God damn it. ⁓ yeah, because it's like these kids are fucking stupid now. Because they got these calculators in their pocket, they don't gotta think for themselves. I I thought I heard something that like most American high school graduates like can't read or something. ⁓ depends on who you ask, but it's ⁓ not as high of a number as when we were in high school. That's for sure. Which is kind of sad. I'm looking this up. Thirty-three percent, one in five, nineteen percent of high school graduates are functionally illiterate. Hold on. They graduated and they're still can't read? I guess. Even more concerning, a twenty twenty five federal report found that twenty five percent of young adults, sixteen to twenty four, read at the lowest literacy levels yet. Over half over half managed to earn high school diplomas. Yeah, yeah, kind of not surprised. But also in I'm not I'm not defending that. I'm just playing devil's advocate. They did grow up with a lot of videos, you know? Like you didn't have to read all these textbooks. You could just watch something on YouTube. So you didn't have to practice reading as much as we did when we were a kid. I it's still it's still embarrassing. But you know, things evolved. It's kinda like how People drive and you used to drive manual and the boomers are like, ⁓ you guys don't know how to drive stick? Like, no, dude. Because it's more expensive to get a manual car right now. What was it? It was like ⁓ the the millennial anti theft device and it was just manual car. Yeah. However, you still should know how to read. That's embarrassing. The bare minimum. Like it's much more embarrassing not knowing how to read than it is not knowing how to drive stick. Michael, what's that? I huh I put a liquid IV in my wine here. It's a little counter to is it crunchy? What is liquid IV even It's a powder. I don't know, it's supposed to keep you hydrated. I'm on a health kick, so I figured kill two birds with one stone, you know? So you Yeah. Liquid IV in your wine. I like where your head's at that. I like I like where you had that. Mm-hmm. Let's see. Who has the lowest Chad has the lowest literacy rate in the world. They are at twenty. Poor Chad. Poor guy. Chad. Just one Is it all is it all Chad's? Every Chad can't read. Let's see. Whereas ⁓ Nepal's pretty pretty low on there. The top country, Andorra. Andorra, Finland, Greenland, Liechtenstein. Luxembourg, Norway, Uzbekistan, Ukraine. Okay, hold on, hold on. Luck Luxembourg is the size of a town. That's not fair. That is not fair. Yeah. That is not fair. That's like ten square blocks. That's not fair. Their literacy test is reading the street signs, there's like four of them. Hundred percent. Everybody wins. You got like you got like six hundred people. Diego's fun country. Everybody here knows how to read one hundred percent. And now this one this one I'm calling bullshit on. North Korea has a hundred percent literacy rate. You know what I wouldn't be surprised, to be honest with you. I'm calling bullshit. I think they're making it up. I think they're making it up, Pat. Well no, okay, you can't be a hundred percent, but I would I wouldn't be surprised if it's like High nineties. North Korea? Yeah, dude, of course. They're not giving it's how to read. It's not you're reading the right things. They're reading all the North Korean propaganda. But yeah, they're reading it. I guess I guess it makes sense. I I think they're fudging the numbers, just like how Kim Jong un ⁓ played eighteen holes and scored eighteen. Yes, of course. I'm not listening, it's not a hundred percent, but again, I wouldn't be surprised if it is in the high nineties. Because he's gonna want you to read all about him and his family and where he came from. We're thirty-eight. We're thirty-eighth. We're at ninety nine percent literacy, right? We're thirty-eighth? Yeah, thirty-eighth and ⁓ and overall literacy. Wow, but does it also take into account population? I think that's a that's a big factor. Again, Luxembourg. Come on, dude. You fly over. I'm sure ninety-five percent of our fair subdivision in town knows how to read. I you know? It's literally a one horse town. Yeah. Luxembourg has one horse. When there was a there was a story about Luxembourg. They went ⁓ they joined World War Two, I think it was, and and they had an army of thirteen guys that like joined the war. And this was at like the very end of it or something like that. Anyway, they came back with fourteen guys. One guy met the Luxembourg Arby, loved him so much that he wanted to move back with with the rest of the guys. That's a heartwarming story right there. Where was was it Luxembourg? I think it was. Yeah, like they and then there was what was the other one? I think it was a bunch of Russians that ⁓ befended a a bear. In World War Two. Yeah. ⁓ won't we check. Yep. In ⁓ he died in nineteen sixty three. He was seriously Yeah. ⁓ it was the the Polish, the second Polish Corps found this bear and then they like raised it. And leave it to the fucking Polish to do something like that. And and like the bear went with him everywhere. And he was like a mascot. And I think he was it was a brown bear? Yeah. Let's see, and then he lived in he lived in Scotland the rest of his days. He died at Scotland. And if they flew him, or maybe they walk. You know, you can't walk from Poland to Scotland. I think you can find a way. No, you can't. Scotland's an island. Okay, so you gotta take one boat. Yeah. I'm not jumping on a boat with a bear. I think they got I think you gotta take two boats. 'Cause you gotta go through England, I think, right? Unless you take unless you go around. I think I'm taking two boats and I'm just putting the bear on a little rowboat and dragging him along so he can't actually be on our boat. Well, he was like because he was raised by the Polish army, he like didn't kill anybody. Michael, he's a bear. He's a bear. He's a he's a he's a bear. ⁓ I know, I know he's a yeah, he's a bear pet. Spimoni ⁓ Exactly. You gotta yell Spumoni when you'll calm down. The minute that bear gets cranky and seasick, you're fucked. A ⁓ seasick bear. ⁓ yeah, dude. Can you imagine a seasick bear? Yeah. Picking up all the fish he was just eating. Go get another pop. Go get another mop. ⁓ he's shit again. All over the poop deck. Whose idea was this? Who who who took the bear? But I guess there's a movie about him I remember seeing. It wasn't like a good good movie. It wasn't ⁓ I'm sorry. I it's ⁓ won 17 awards for an animated short film. It wasn't that good of a movie. It was a bad movie. It just won like a ton of awards, but yeah, it was a bad movie. Sounds like Brother Bear. Now there is a great movie. That's an underrated one. Very underrated movie. Yeah. So you know? Like being being being cool about who you are. I've only seen it twice, so I don't know it that well, but I remember enjoying it. What do you think your sign would be if you're like in the brother bear community and you you were an Inuit and you got assigned a spirit animal? What would be a spirit animal? Yeah. ⁓ dog. Hands down. Be a dog? Easily. ⁓ yeah. A spirit animal is what what you're supposed to be guided by, not what you want to be. No, that's what I would turn into for sure. Like it's not it's not Dogs and I have a lot of similarities. We have more in common than we do differences. Are you thinking about the shaggy dog? What? What you thinking about the movie Shaggy Dog where Tim Allen turns into the dog? I've never I didn't even know that movie existed. You didn't know that? No? Yeah, it's 2006. Rubber down the city in it. Is this after Jungle to the Jungle? I think so. Yeah, this was 2006. So I think Jungle Jungle was what, 98? Man, Rap Schneider did say no to something, huh? Listen, guys, I've already turned into a girl. I've already turned into an animal. I've been a process. The animal was actually I remember that was in constant circulation on FX when ⁓ TNT went away and turned into FX movies. It was it was always the animal. It had like a six week run on FX. It's one of those movies. It's a perfect background movie. ⁓ what would your ⁓ spirit animal be? I would like to think it'd be something cool like an eagle or a hawk. ⁓ you're giving yourself too much credit. Well I'm saying in reality though. Right? Probably be like a fucking barn owl or something. No, no, no, no, no, no. And and it it seems a lot smarter than what it really is. No. What's what's one step below a hawk? Pigeon. You could be a What about a what about a loon? You wanna be a loon? I could be a loon. Woo! Yeah, a loon. The North American English or the British diver loon. Diver. Yeah, I think that would be a diver loon. You could be a you could be a good loon. A loon and a dog. See there's your next Disney movie. Or ⁓ I don't know, you flamingos do give off some like, you know Old dad energy. You might be able to pull off being a flamingo. Flamingos are fucking weird too. Dude, they are weird bear. Odd birds. They will they will pick a hole in its bait's head and that's how it feeds it. They will what? Yeah, so the way that like flamingos feed their young. Yeah. I think it's their young. they like pick a hole in their head and they'll like drip the milk it like into their noggins. There's like there's like videos of this shit. Yeah, it's it's wild. It's gross. Yeah, but look it up. Fingos flamingos will like poke holes in your head. No, I'm on to I'm on the flying flamingos right now. If they can hit up to between thirty five and forty miles an hour. Could you imagine driving through 40 and you nail a fucking flamingo What would be worse to run over a a flamingo or a pelican? ⁓ pelican. C comedy wise I can handle I can handle it in a flamingo. Comedy wise. I can handle flamingo. And also probably like car wise, dude. ⁓ I feel like ⁓ I feel like the other one would just do so much more fucking damage. A pelican would do so much more damage. I think so too. Yeah. Fabio got hit in the face by a is it a telephone? Or no, there's another bird. Yeah, I remember Fabio. Yeah, sure. Yeah, he was on a roller coaster. And it was like a goose or something. Yeah. It wasn't a flamingo. No, I mean a goose though is still a pretty good site. Goose is good. Just had to add something to the bucket list there, Michael. See a flock of flying flamingos. You think how often do they fly? ⁓ I mean pretty regularly. They c ooh here's they ⁓ dear. They routinely reach altitudes between ten thousand and fifteen thousand feet. Jesus. And yeah, dude. And ⁓ thirty five to forty miles an hour, as we said. And over short distances and crane travel three hundred miles in a single flight. So yeah, they're no jokes, dude. Where do they where do they migrate from? Florida to the Keys? Like I've just never really known about a flamethrower's ⁓ not traditional long distance, they're not migrant birds. Rather parti they're ⁓ they're snowbirds, they're partial migrants. They're no they're ⁓ nomadic wanderers, as they like to call themselves. They typically migrate to follow food supplies and changing water levels. ⁓ depending on their species and region, they travel to specific wintering and breeding grounds. So they hit the hot tubs in the winter, they bang, and then they go back to the coastal goals or coastal season. Yeah, I got some flamingo energy back. Yeah, you do. Fuck yeah. I think we found your spirit animal. I got a flamingo energy. Yeah. Kind of dumb looking sometimes too. Like they are never dumb looking. Sometimes have you ever like have you ever seen an eagle like a forward facing ⁓ picture of Here's the thing is like eagles are majestic and stoic, but try to be in a bad mood around a flamingo. It's impossible. True. You're always gonna be smiling. And that's you. Yep. ⁓ thanks, Pat. Of course. ⁓ yeah, now I'm looking at this picture of this eagle and is is looking straight at the camera. No, that's like Alexander the Great stuff. Like, come on. If you think you're an eagle, that's like saying I should be president. Like, get out of here. I should not be fucking nuts. You're fucking nuts. No, you don't get to be eagle. No, I don't think anybody reserves that title. Maybe, maybe Chuck Norris. I think Chuck Norris can be an eagle. Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, you know. ⁓ I think Jackie Chan is like a peacock. No, Jackie Chan's an eagle. You think so? Yeah. Yeah, he deserves eagle status. I think I'm a little happier that we went. Charlie Murphy. Charlie Murphy's an eagle for sure. Charlie Murphy deserves eagle status. Do you think we would have the same reputation as a country as we do if we picked the turkey as our national bird? ⁓ no be well hold on. Well here's I have a follow up question. If turkey is our national bird, is it still ⁓ our bird of choice on Thanksgiving? No. We would go with quail. Quail on Thanksgiving. Ooh. Well now I kinda want it then. Damn. Yeah. I think ⁓ I think keeping with tradition, I think we're more likely to quail than turkey on that first Thanksgiving. I mean, I think we could spin it where we could say the turkey is ferocious enough to be, you know, ⁓ our our national bird. Especially if you knew it came from Ben Franklin. Yeah you can't eat your national bird once a year, you know, thirty five million of ⁓ I mean that would be that would that would be kind of like a crazy ⁓ kind of flax, you know. Once a year we all sit down and eat our national bird. Fuck with us. You know? Yeah. These guys are fucking crazy. No, yeah, but you could say it's like sacrifice, you know. Hey, the Aztecs used to sacrifice their people. We at our national bird. Same, same. Our bird. The same thing. Yep. Yep. With national table. ⁓ boy. I was trying to find a segue and our topic for the day, but I only got one. It's okay. Hiking. Crazy hiking. Hiking gone awry. The Dyatlov Pass. How much do you know about this? ⁓ not a lot. I read up on it a little bit. So from my understanding, it was ⁓ in like the fifties or so, and there was a group of dudes Who wanted to go on I picture it as a like a ski trip, you know, guys want to get fucked up, have a good time in the hot tub, hit some hit some runs, do some double diamond black diamonds, have a good time. And ⁓ they were they were ⁓ they were doing the dumb thing by by camping outside in the evening instead of getting a hotel like they should have, and or staying at the resort and they they made up for camp and There was either some bad weather or an avalanche of some sort, and everyone went missing. And they couldn't find anyone for I want to say seven to ten business days. Quite a while. And then they found some people and they were missing their clothes. They were only wearing socks. And some parts of their bodies were missing. ⁓ and there's just a lot of Some people say obviously it was just like a natural disaster that happened. Not other people are saying why were body parts missing and specific ones like tongues, eyes, weird things like that. they said that maybe they're cannibals and had to eat each other because it was getting cold, so that's why. But other people say that there was the the Yeti or there was some sort of abduction of some sort. So there's a lot of odd conspiracies around it. But I think this is one of those just Weird things that happened out in nature and you're in the fucking freezing cold and don't know what else to do. Right. And that's I mean, I know this is more of a mystery than like a conspiracy theory, you know? But nobody's been able to really put their finger on what happened. Like and I I spent what, two, three hours watching. Was I wrong on anything that I said? Probably I mean obviously, yeah. But Yeah, so it was it was fifty nine, nineteen fifty nine, what happened. And there was nine and and the one thing I do like to highlight here is that that like they were experienced. These weren't just like homies taking some PTO. Like these these guys like did this. They would go out on like expeditions. So they weren't like your average Joe, ⁓ like mom and dad, hey on Sunday let's go hiking type of people. Like they were But it was skiing, right? Yeah. Skiing. Yeah, they went out on a skiing expedition. Now the Ural Mountains where they went in the Soviet Union or Russia, that's like way east. That's north of Kazakhstan. So we're talking like mountains, mountains. Okay. And I I was like watching the videos about how they were like out there to even do some like scientific research. Something about like avalanches or like geology related. Like kind of like making avalanches happen for like safety perspective or I can't remember exactly what it was that they set out to do. It was skiing, but there was like two or three guys that were also part of it that were like looking for geology or like the age of the mountain or something like that. Okay. And they decided to sleep outside in the ⁓ on the mountain. Yep. Yep. So like leading up to that, they had s they had spent like nights in like logging camps because like where they started off to where they were gonna go, it was like a day and a half or like two day trip like by train. ⁓ so yeah they got onto the side of the mountain and then and then they were they're they didn't check in or like they didn't return so then people went out to look for them a couple days later and they just found kind of like a murder scene almost. But like they didn't find everybody all at once. They like found two people. ⁓ I don't know all their names. There's not about it was only a day and a half before they found the bodies? Well, from what I remember of the homework I was doing is that it took ⁓ like a day and a half to two days to get to like the mountains that they were gonna be hiking on. Okay. And then So two days behind when they left, though, right? Yes. And then they wasn't out there for a couple of days, but they just didn't they didn't come back. So they eventually so wait, hold on. So they left and they were they gone for two days and then people went to go see them, or was it they left and it was like six, seven days. Shit, they're not back yet. We should figure out where they are. And yeah, it was for them. It was like six, seven days. And they're like, Where are these guys? Why are they back? Yep. Okay. twelve days. That's what it was. ⁓ geez, so that's like enough to get hungry is what I'm saying. Yep. Yeah, so they're out there for a long time. So then they I think they had to like the town or like their friends or like the surge party had to like retrace their steps to like find out where they went. Like they went back to the logging. Where did these guys go? And then ⁓ then that's when they found like their their campsite, so to speak. ⁓ because they did have tents, and that's like kind of where things start getting weird, is that the tent was cut open from the inside. So backing up a little bit, I think it was in twenty twenty the Russian government from the inside. Yeah, it was like the way that the slices were like on the tarp. ⁓ it it was like you could see that the ⁓ fabric was pushed outwards as opposed to inside, because I guess it was like all frozen. Okay. So the Russian government, I think in 2020 said that it was an avalanche. Like that was their official cause of death was that this whole thing was caused by an avalanche. Because like they did see that the tent was covered by snow. So they kind of said Avalanche. Which ⁓ makes sense. I think that's a like a really easy, kind of like deductive way of saying, like, yeah, let's write this off. Well, yeah. You're in the f you're in the you're in the tent. Avalanche happens, you gotta get out. Right, exactly. ⁓ now where gets kind of weird though is that like some of them were clothed, and then like two or three of them were in their skiddies. Like they didn't have them near each other? No, they weren't. ⁓ they they ended up they found like four or five by the tent. There was two like way off randomly, and then there was like another couple down the mountain, like in another makeshift kind of ⁓ like structure that they built, like a little den. They like dug a little s igloo type of thing at the side of mountain. So they weren't ⁓ it says here bodies were scattered over several kilometers. But and the people that were scattered, were they the ones that were missing like body parts and such? ⁓ there was two or three that were missing eyeballs, and then one. Yeah, but were they in the tent or were they outside? The ones were they were outside, so most people are saying like animal activity. But She was missing her top, which is a little strange. No, that but that also doesn't sound like animal activity because animals aren't gonna be that specific of just eating your eye. They're gonna keep eating you. Right, exactly. And they're gonna start with, you know, the the fleshy parts exposed. They're not gonna go just for the eyes. Yeah. Yeah. So like it's it's it sounds like they got hungry and they ate their fucking eyeballs. Right. As opposed to chopping off a limb. Right. Well that's what's so like mysterious about it is because like so there was one that was missing her tongue. Yeah, l tongue is good, we eat langua all the time. There was a couple that were missing eyeballs. That sounds gross. That's not what they would go for first. There was one or two that had like cuts and like squares cut out of their arms and legs, but it was under their clothes. And their clothes didn't have cuts. So like they would have had to been cut first and then the clothes put back on. Okay. Which is just it the whole thing's peculiar. Now, the amount of like Maybe they're trying to trick him. Maybe they were sleeping and they're like, ⁓ shut up. We're gonna eat Bert's calf, but don't tell him, don't like him. They're just slowly trying to pull his pants down, and the holy's like half awake, like, ⁓ that was close. Stop, stop fighting my legs. Hold them down, hold them down. And then they start cutting and they pull his pants up slowly. Yeah. I mean ca it could have been. Now the other one if it's not An avalanche. They did say that like extreme hypothermia would cause like when you when you deal with extreme hypothermia, you get ⁓ your body like floods the rest of your organs with blood, so it makes you feel hot, so you'll like disrobe because you feel like you wouldn't have specific squares missing out of your calf. Right. So they don't really know what that's from. ⁓ cannibalism. You think so? What else could it possibly be? Well Yeti, maybe? A Yeti wa a Yeti has a fork and knife? No, he's just gotta take a bite out of you. There's also like extreme radiation traces on these guys. Like all the they live in Russia. All of Russia's radiation. Come on. I mean, I guess cannibalism, maybe. But ⁓ yeah, the the like the amount of stuff that goes into that like this was one guy that I was watching specifically three hours and he was like I haven't even like skimmed the surface of the lot of paperwork and like theories and shit behind this Viet Log Pass thing. So what's the most plausible the I'm sorry, I'll stop. What's the most like plausible story about this? Cannibalism, obviously. ⁓ The Russian government said it was ⁓ avalanche, but when the original inquiry was made, the Russian government actually covered it up and they like sealed this whole file. Like nobody could get into the information to like actually investigate what happened. The government covered it up ⁓ for a long, long time. So that's why some people think that there is like maybe a UFO. encounter that these people were like abducted and tested on. Because like with some of the other causes of death of this these folks, they had like crushed rib cages and like ⁓ it was described as wounds similar to a severe car accident with like crushed skulls and you know massive chest trauma, crushed ribs, like skin missing from their face down to the bone. Like sure. Just like weird shit. Yeah, but you don't hear a lot of I don't really hear I don't know if any alien abductions that go south. I mean obviously if they did go south, you're probably not gonna hear about it because they're dead. But that's not like usually part of the the norm when people get abducted or have contact or they they're violent. ⁓ yeah, and I think that's why it just remains a mystery too, is that like like yes, maybe Avalanche. ⁓ they said that, you know, with some of these injuries that they would have had to fall like fifteen, twenty feet straight down. Yeah, but that doesn't that doesn't explain the eyeballs and the missing tongues. Right, exactly. One thing doesn't explain the other. But it's all still there, you know. Yeah. ⁓ not that like the cold weather I can kind of get as like a hypothermia thing. No, because I don't you think they ate each other? I think so because the hypothermia you've seen Wind River. It's it affects your lungs. Wouldn't you have ⁓ wouldn't you have a survivor though? Like one guy who was on untouched, unharmed. If it's if it's only two if it's two weeks you should. Unless well, yeah, because you have snow, so you have ⁓ water source. If you can melt it. Right, but they were all dead though. So I'm saying, like if it was a cannibalistic case and they ate each other, right? Well do they all the same cause do they all have the same cause of death? They had multiple suspicious causes of death. Well, what were they? Like what I was saying, the crushed ribs, the the chest trauma, ⁓ the hypothermia. You could crush so but it so was it internal bleeding and like organ fail but I don't know. ⁓ well hypothermia. Yeah, that yeah, that would probably do it. Yeah, I think about it. Yeah. Right. I'm just kind of thinking like if it was a cannibalistic case, right? Like the the Donner party, right? Like somebody would have had to walk out of there fat and happy. You know, like I made it. I had to eat everybody. But I made it You would pr you would think that if you just ate somebody and just stayed in the fort and like they're gonna come rescue us 'cause they know we're not back yet. Right. That's so people in the I'm sorry, were people In the fort also dead or everyone was scattered outside some everybody was ⁓ I can't remember if there was people dead inside. I think everybody was scattered outside, if I remember correctly. That there was like nobody in the tent or in the den that everybody that makes it kind of that makes it really weird, to be honest with you. Because why you would all be by each other leaving in a group together, you wouldn't scatter. Right. Unless there was something scaring the shit out of you. Yeah. Causing ever the cops. Drive up. Yeah, they're coming right for Maybe one person in the group just went fucking crazy. Just went AWOL and started going nuts and then everyone started breaking out and scattering, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So nobody really knows like what the cause was that like either caused him to freak out. or the cause of any of the injuries. ⁓ and that the the big the the big thing is like why did the government cover it up? You know, like if it was say cannibals, right? Or Well you probably wouldn't want that out in the U and you know right. You wouldn't want that out there. We we got cannibals here. Yeah. I actually read about a cannibal case today that kinda like fucked me up. It was like one of those things where I read on the internet. like that's about enough of that. ⁓ I'm gonna I'm gonna turn off the internet for a little while. I don't I don't need to know any more about that shit. ⁓ it was it was in China. It was like during a massive famine. They would like eat people supposedly. I don't know what body part would you go for? ⁓ most people were saying the butt the butt cheeks are like the fattest. Yeah the has the most fat to meat ratio, supposedly. I I mean you hunt, the backstraps are always the best. Yeah. Let's see. One turn back. Yeah, no. I mean it's there like the amount of theories with this thing is probably up there with like the JFK assassination in terms of like actual paperwork and like autopsies and routes and they found all of their diaries and all of their journals and like everything was still intact. Except for the tent, really. But like their camp stove was still intact. But nobody wrote anything for those like ten days that they were stuck in inside in an avalanche? Yeah, supposedly they just had stuff up until they left ⁓ for like the main part of the mountain that they were going to. Yeah. Now they were going to have such a fun day. I can't wait to get out there. I could just eat you up. Huh? Nothing. Nothing. Now the Ural Mountains though, the the natives that lived there did like worship the mountain and it was called Dead Mountain. So is there stories about weird things happening there previously? That's where the Yeti connection comes in, is that these ancient people would ⁓ like worship like spirits in the mountain or like things living in the mountains. And ⁓ that's why they think it was a yeti. I think just one real big one. And he ate all the people. It was a very sophisticated Yeti who knew how to use cutlery. He saw it was like God So glad I grabbed some honey mustard sauce. Thank delicious. You know, or maybe it was like a messing with Sasquatch situation. They found one sleeping, right? And then they put like shaving cream into Yeti's hand, you know, and tickled his nose, and then he wakes up with a face full of shaving cream and freaks out and then kills all the guys, you know. Smashes them up against like trees and shit. Like, ⁓ my god, I got so out of hand. It's very possible, Michael. Very possible. What would you do if you assumed across the sleeping yeti? Leave it alone. You would leave it alone? Yeah, of course. But ⁓ what ⁓ what other option is there to do? Fuck with it, I guess. Why would you fuck with the sleeping yeti? I don't know, I guess it depends what kind of mood I was in. What what good could possibly happen? We were watching There's a there's a good TV show on HBO. ⁓ there's something in these woods or like these woods are haunted or something like that. And it's all like little little stories about people who had encounters with like the chupacabra or the daddy or like UFOs like out in the woods. There's one thing I never understand. And all all of these stories, every single one about somebody encountering something out in the woods. They all stand there and try to figure it out. Yeah, we're trying to process it. Right. I get like the processing, but I like to think that ⁓ if something was freaking me out in the woods, I'd say, you know what, fuck this, I'm going back in the car. Like we'll just go put my download. Do you stand in front of headlights all the time? Right. But what I'm saying is like these Yetis are like throwing boulders at people and like rocks at a campsite and you're standing there going like what the heck is that? Well if you're not in harm's way. If you're not in harm's way, yeah, I'd probably want to see. But if this thing is chucking rocks at you in your campsite? He can't s he can't see us from here. We're safe. He does see he's throwing rocks at you. Don't worry, honey, he can't throw that far. It's okay. Well I just want to see what it looks like and then we'll go. It's it's okay. What? Wow. Bigfoot's left handed. Huh. ⁓ I never would have guessed. Who'd have thunk? Yeah. It's a g it's a good story though. You know, I've heard of a lot of like different Bigfoot stories. The only one that like actually freaked me out was ⁓ the story of this guy he was elk hunting in Washington, Oregon, something like that. And he said that he could hear the Yetis talking to each other in like this weird clicking kind of noise. And I was like I think Yeah, I was like I think that would probably freak me out more than thinking that there's some of there. It's like hearing them talk to each other. I I Bigfoot wouldn't click. No, Bigfoot wouldn't talk and clicks. That's what he said. What if yeah. So if if you're the expert, man, what what would a Bigfoot talk like? More like Chewbacca. It'd be Chewbacca. It's very obvious. It's extremely obvious. The answer's right there. In the next seventy seven release. No, like think about it, like the aliens and sign talking clicks, you know? It's it's not a Bigfoot. That's aliens. Aliens do that kind of noises. It's Bigfoot. Very obvious. Just Chewbacca noises. The whole time. ⁓ huh. I guess I'm not as educated as I thought I was. Well, I thought it was very obvious, but Well yeah. So yeah, that was a getwall pass. It was kind of That would be that would be creepy though. Yeah, I think it's more of like hearing and not seeing that would that ⁓ would That's that's with anything. Yeah. You you know there's a fucking apex predator but around you, but you only hear it and you don't know where it's at. I mean, I wouldn't be ⁓ I don't think I would be so afraid if it was talking like Chewbacca. I'd be like, ⁓ that's Chewbacca. I don't know. I know who that is. You probably start making noises right back, to be honest. Right. Okay. Yeah. Ooh. Who? Michael. What's wrong? Okay. Michael, did you watch the did you watch the crash on the Netflix? I did not. I I wanted to. because I saw a meme today of the parents from the crash. ⁓ she was so nice. Everybody loved her. She lit up a room and then it like cuts to her social media and she's like, I drink and drive, fuck you. I was like, all right, I gotta I gotta see what the source of this material is. It's ⁓ it's not far off. What's about ⁓ obviously a crash? It's a it's about a car crash. It's about a car crash. It's about a ⁓ never guessed. It's about this young girl, ⁓ just graduated high school, seventeen, eighteen years old, and she she got in a car crash with her boyfriend and friend in the car, and ⁓ she survived the the two Two guys did not. And there's been a lot of speculation. She says that she blacked out ⁓ before before turning onto the road and slamming into the wall at a hundred miles an hour. Jesus. Yeah, she says she has no recollection of that. But there's a lot of evidence that says she did. So now she's she's doing some time. And now she goes by Sherilla the Killer. Her last name is Sherilla. And she goes by Sherilla the Killer in jail. So she ⁓ doesn't get She changed her name to the killer. She didn't change her name. That's her no, not not legally. Well, I mean her online profile, she changed it afterwards to the killer. I've highly I don't think she was that dumb. ⁓ I hope not. That was that's kinda wild. Very wild. Very, very wild. Hundred miles an hour, that's a hell of a crash. A hundred miles an hour, no brakes. No brakes. Well, she kind of turned the car to hit the ⁓ passenger side from what it looked like. So I mean obviously it's still a miracle she's alive, but Yeah, that's usually what happens in those drunk driving cases. She wasn't drunk. There was no alcohol. Interesting. There was only there's only marijuana in her system. There's a bunch of videos very similar to what you describe. Like, hey, I smoke weed and drive don't worry about seatbelt. Fuck you. How does how does one survive that? How'd they say that she survived? I mean she had her injuries. Don't give she didn't walk away. It's a hundred miles an hour into a brick wall. I don't know. You don't hear a lot of people like, you know, strolling away from one of those. Well, she she wore her seatbelt first and foremost. All you listeners out there where you're seatbelt. And then ⁓ she turned the car in such a way where obviously she easily could have died, don't get me wrong, and she had her injuries. But she turned the car where like all the impact was on the passenger side. And I guess she like kinda like maybe ducked and kind of embraced for it. ⁓ listen, she definitely took a chance. Don't get me wrong. She rolled the dice on that one. ⁓ I'll I'll I'll watch it. That sounds really interesting. I just wanna see the science behind that. Like ⁓ they don't go into that. They go into this where this girl's like, ⁓ my god, I have no idea what happened and then the people that were investigating the case were like, This bitch knows exactly what the fuck happened. You know exactly what you did. Yeah, mm-hmm. Watch watch. How many episodes is it? It's just one. Just the one? It's just the one? Hour? Hour and a half? Hour thirty. Check it out. What are you doing over there, Michael? ⁓ I pulled up this Ask Reddit thread. What's the scariest we need to leave now gut feeling that you've ever experienced? Ooh. Yeah, I know, right? Met up with somebody, and this is just ⁓ I've have not looked at these. I just pulled it up. Met with somebody who we shared mutual friends with many years ago before party. He made drinks for us and at one point kept tipping my cup back. Encouraging me to drink. He said I had to go to the bathroom, I ran out of the house, called my friend to pick me up. I don't remember the mess of the night because I was drugged. Holy shit. That sucks. Skiing in a slot canyon noticed a trickle of water running down into the floor of the canyon. Told my friend we gotta get the fuck out. Within an hour the canyon was full of raging water. Got damned. Yeah. Do you know do you know yours? Mine? Yeah, do you have a we need to get the fuck out? ⁓ there was one time me and my friend from high school we were just kind of cruising around, we were bored, and ⁓ we there was a airport where we used to live and you could go like watch the planes like take off and land and shit and pulled in there and there was maybe twenty-five or thirty bikers in that parking lot. And it was dark out and we pulled into the parking lot and they all like stopped looked at us like we just caught them doing something they shouldn't have been doing, you know? And I just told him I was like, dude, turn around, get the fuck out of here. I I don't I don't want to see this. I don't want to I don't want to find out what's going on here. They could have been nice. They didn't look nice. Yeah. That was the only time. What about you? ⁓ I was ⁓ I was in Vegas ⁓ ⁓ for a bachelor party. And we were all hanging out at the at the bar downstairs and ⁓ just making small talk with this with this guy who's there for this convention and whatnot. And we just get to chit chatting. And he's probably in his early forties, I s I would say. And he he s starts talking about how he's in a s relationship with this guy. He's he's gay. And he's ⁓ just he's dating a very younger man who's in his twenties and I I I've just started asking questions, you know. I'm just a curious cat. Just started shooting the shit with this guy. Long story short, this this man I've never been so flattered in my life. I've never been hit on so hard in my life from the from anybody with with the exception of this gay man. And ⁓ he he really Started crossing the line a couple times with some things he he was saying. And then to the to the point where like couldn't couldn't really go to the bathroom in the in the hotel area right there. And ⁓ he he passed out at the bar and the bartender woke him up after like fifteen minutes and we we left that area of the bar, went to it's a very big bar, obviously it's Vegas. We went to a different part. And my friends were right there though. And then he woke up out of a dead sleep. He just goes, Where's Pat? And he was looking for me again. Jesus. Yeah, dude. ⁓ and so I got I got followed around for about fifteen, fifteen to twenty five minutes getting ⁓ trying to get sodomized. Jeez. Yeah, yeah. That's ⁓ that's ⁓ let's get the fuck out of here situation. Yeah, yeah. ⁓ boy. Yeah. It was an interesting one. He just ran. Did you throw like sand in his eyeballs? Well, like pocket sand. Like a drink in his face. No, because I mean I was again it was a bachelor party, so was like fifteen of us. ⁓ and I just kinda like sat at the bar and people made a made a a half moon crescent around so I kinda got and I'm s short, so I got to hide. But use your height to your advantage, isn't it? Exactly. Scurry group of guys. My my fucking big mouth and charm got me in trouble. ⁓ boy. Yeah. That's that's a little nerve wracking to say the least. Like Sir, I appreciate the the the compliments, but please fuck off. Yeah. You know, like please mm get the fuck out of here. Yeah. You made an impression on him though. I mean, hey, it was great conversation for the first twenty minutes, don't get me wrong. I like to picture you in that situation where I just totally like ambivalent. I don't judge anybody and I will talk to anybody. You know? As long as you're not an asshole, I don't fucking care what you do or who you are. But it just the Yeah, it got ⁓ got a little worrisome for a little bit. And then But hey, Vegas, you know? Right. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Stays in Vegas. Exactly. You could have been You could have been Liam Neeson. You could have been Taken. Yeah, yeah, I know. Which I mean, I would I would love to see a parody of Taken where you are the one who is taken. That would suck so hard, dude. No, but it would be like it would be like a comedy version of it, like, you know, instead of, you know, them putting black hoods on you, you're like sitting back there like, Did you guys ever watch Lord of the Rings? You know what I didn't understand about it, you know, and then they like throw you out of the van in like twenty five minutes. I don't I don't think I would be that funny in a very serious hostage situation, Michael. I w I I would like to see like a parody movie of that though, you know. Yeah, yeah. If I knew that I was gonna be fine, of course. Yes, but if ⁓ I was in a real life hostage situation I I I wonder if there's like fucking jokes. Like a like a brain mechanism. You know, where if that did happen, like that's what you revert to. Like, I heard about this theory that if you're just really, really fucking annoying, they're gonna let you go. You know? So I just got on to like my all time favorite topic and these guys just let me go. That or they'll just kill you faster. This guy would not shut up about Led Zeppelin. He He was he was halfway through describing what led up to their first album. I'm like, I can't handle it. So I think it's good. Six months after they kill you, that's all they listen to. He was right, you know? He was so fucking right. Yeah. Maybe that's what happened. Maybe they were all kidnapped. Maybe they didn't want to go hiking. Maybe they didn't want to go on a ski trip. Maybe that's all they wanted to do is go on ski trips. Like, man, this is so much fun. Let's fake our own deaths. So we can just do this all the time. And then they were trying to fake it and take pictures, but then they actually froze to death. It's gotta look convincing, man. Maybe maybe they had body devils. Maybe they found some other people. Did they least bring food? ⁓ yeah, they brought they were totally prepared. What do you think they brought? What's the dehydrated meals? Russia in nineteen fifty nine. I wonder what they would have brought. Probably I can't I can't think of like a full menu item from Russia and Soviet Union fifty nine, other than like beef jerky from like potatoes, right? Don't they have potatoes? I feel like potatoes can grow anywhere. Yeah. I wonder what they I wonder when they transported all their food. Like, you know, they had to they had to find something that was lightweight enough to carry in large quantities, right? Not like haul nineteen fifty nine. Like haul a goat all the way up the side of the mountain, you know? Like oats. ⁓ this is horrible. No, all it is is dark in nineteen fifty nine Russian food was divined by Soviet area staples like dark rye bread. Cabbage soup, pickled vegetables, and hardy grains. Sounds like everything tastes gray. No meat. It all tastes like the static on your TV. ⁓ God. How the that sucks. And it's a weird place to go hiking though. You know? Like ⁓ yeah, but if you're from the area, where else are you gonna go? Yeah, I just think, you know, there's other cooler spots ⁓ in the Soviet Union than ⁓ Serbia, you know? Yeah, but location it's close to the ⁓ that was another thing that stood out to me when I was watching the videos is that one of the ⁓ one of the places that they stopped at on the way to the mountain was an abandoned work camp. From World War Two. Like, wait a second. So these guys are making camp and like a gulag? Like Yeah, probably. Like a prison work camp. Like I just I don't know, that just already put some bad vibes on the whole situation. You know, like ⁓ yeah, yeah, we were just hanging out in an old ⁓ gulag work camp. Came up with this recipe. ⁓ This is our best cabbage. And and beef jerky. Should start the Midwest goodbye? We shall. It's summer. I know. What do you think is the best ⁓ Midwest food? Best Midwest food. Midwest specifically. What is it? There was something that some of my coworkers were telling me about the Minnesota State Fair. ⁓ speaking of I was thinking about you. I forgot to tell you. There was a a local fair. There's a fest in Chicago. Hot dog fair? Yeah, it was hot dog fest. You could sign up for a hot dog eating contest. ⁓ yeah? I thought you should have you would have won. I'm surprised he didn't put my name down. And then it would have you gotta call ⁓ though. You gotta call ⁓ and tell ⁓ he has to get down here. He doesn't like ⁓ prepared. Yeah, I could probably do it. I could probably get down twelve or thirteen. I would say. I don't think that would be too hard. No. For you, no. ⁓ what was it? The the Midwest what was it? It was like some sort of like deep fried dog, like hot dog type of thing. Is it called the pasty? No, it wasn't a pasty. ⁓ jeez. It's gonna be Pasties are so fucking good. There's something about the like ranch or something, like a deep fried corn dog or something like that. ⁓ yeah. Yeah, but it's like deep fried dough. I forget what they call it. But that one, pretty Midwest. I maybe maybe cheese curds. Cheese curds is pretty midwestern. Yeah. Like Wisconsin cheese curds. Or like like a beer brat. I don't I don't really hear people out, you know, like anywhere else make beer brats. That's pretty midwestern. Yeah, deep fried well, cheese deep fried cheese. Yeah, I cheese curds in general, but deep fried cheese curds. Yeah. Cheese curds, beer brats, and I I would even venture to put chili on there. I know chili's fairly universal, but I feel like the Midwest might make some of the better chili. Or maybe like Cincinnati chili. I was just gonna say, Cincinnati, are they able to say that they're Midwest? Yeah. I don't think no. I That's see that's where I draw the line. You also said that Montana was in the Midwest. So how if you cut the state in half, if you fold it hot dog style, it is absolutely in the Midwest. It is very obvious to a three year old. All I'm saying is I I have a difficult time putting states in the Midwest when you're in the Eastern time zone. Yeah, no, I totally agree with you. I mean, I think the whole situation of the Midwest is ⁓ askewed for sure. Because the Midwest, if I had to like redraw United States, right, the Midwest would start at Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota. Exactly. Where the Middle East Like yeah, basically you you take the Mississippi River. Everything west of the Mississippi before Colorado. would be the Midwest. Yeah. Exactly. But then you but how far south do you go? Midwest? Oklahoma. Yeah. So Kansas? No, you put Kansas and Oklahoma in there. And then Texas is south. So it would North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. No, Arkansas, ⁓ Arkansas is is that's that's that's too far? Too far south? That's just that's just the south, yeah. So north west of the Mississippi, east of the Rockies, and north of the Mason Dixon line. Yeah. Yeah. I mean that that if I had to redraw the United States, that's exactly what I would include. Folded hot dog style. It's very obvious. I would I would put Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, which are also technically Midwest states, right? Or the Middle East. I would Middle East. I I would call it the Great Lakes region, 'cause they all That's good. Although I think Indiana should be Doug. I don't do we need Indiana. I'd give part of it to Michigan, part of it to Ohio, part of it to Illinois, part of it to Michigan. No, we don't want you gotta throw your trash somewhere. Yeah. Well that actually you know what? You know what? As much as we make fun of Indiana, ⁓ our state's not that much better. Our state, I'd let's be honest. God. Honestly that whole ninety four corridor problem. like basically Saint Joe all the way up to like I don't know, Rockford. Would you miss it? Would you miss it? I like Saint Joe. Saint Joe's, yeah, I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying like, you know, we're not we sh we don't set the bar too much higher. Or at least that ninety four corridor anyway isn't like something to boast about, you know? Yeah. I mean The the city has a ten percent sales tax right now. Indiana doesn't have that. Yeah. Honestly, I would say the same thing about everything from Detroit to Erie, Pennsylvania. Yeah. The Bears can't even buy a home here right now. Fucked. What's going on with that? Are they still in ⁓ it's that's ⁓ in shambles, pretty much. It's in shambles. ⁓ is such a good word. I like the album disheveled. So ⁓ as you know, like months ago, Indiana passed legislation to like create a committee to figure out like how to help the Bears put a stadium there. Is it was their plan and they had to figure out how they're gonna get all their tax money. They had a they had a plan and everybody voted on it. Republicans, Democrats, it all passed. Like it I think you I think it was unanimous, if I'm not mistaken. And then ⁓ Illinois had their their meetings this past weekend. And there's been some sort of bill. It's I think it's been called the pilot bill. But P I it stands for something with the all the letters. It's an acronym for something. And ⁓ they were again been working on it for months. And ⁓ it passed in the Senate and then it was supposed to pass in the House this weekend with some tweaks. They knew there was gonna be some adjustments, and then they threw it all out at the at the final hour on Sunday. And you know, do you remember in like so the the way that it was put to me, do you remember in like middle school, high school when you had those assignments when you were able to work on it for like three months, but you waited for the last night to do it all? Yeah. And you just panicked and you just called your friends and just copied exactly what they did, but at a much worse scale. Yeah. That's exactly what Illinois did, where they just took Indiana's plan. Of what they're gonna do of putting committees together in certain towns to bid on it. And then when it came to like well, who's gonna fund this they're just like, Well, well bonds, but we don't know how, but bonds down the line we'll we'll just figure it out later with bonds, guys. And some people some people were not comfortable passing it through, rightfully so. It's a very big bill that you're trying to pass within an hour that you don't know how it's gonna affect the taxpayers. ⁓ But Illinois just totally fucked it up. Just so hard. This whole this whole thing. And so now shocker. Yeah. Yeah. The the Bears aren't they're not they don't have their hands clean in this situation, don't get me wrong. No. But it's it's ⁓ so there was something where they so the Bears bought the land in like twenty twenty-one and it was supposed to be It was appraised at like $33 million, but the bidding price for something was like $190 million around there. And the ⁓ tax adjusters, they the next year, before the Bears even purchased the land, they adjusted the taxes to fit that like $190 something before they even bought the land. And then they did they did a bunch of sketchy shit throughout the process. And ⁓ it looks like the Bears would owe like fifty million dollars in taxes before anything's even built on the land, which is which is crazy because right now our well, Arlington Park, when they were around, they only paid like 3.4 and the Bears are supposed to pay like four million. And then even like the Rams who just built SoFi Stadium out in California, their property taxes are like eight point two and some change. And they went up to like fourteen point something in change. So it's it's pretty difficult to swallow where California, which is a far more expensive state, is only charging X amount of dollars in property tax. And fucking crooked cops or cro crooked politicians of Illinois and Chicago are trying to milk ⁓ for like high fifties. And it's just yeah. And it sucks because the Bears don't want to go to Indiana. Like that's that's r they don't wanna do it. But it's just it's getting to a point where Illinois, like, if you guys aren't willing to even make it possible, we have no choice. Right so there's a chance they could put together a special five hundred percent. If you increase taxes by a thousand percent, like yeah it's not making it very palpable, you know, to do that. What's their end goal with it? It's not like they're gonna get out of debt anytime soon to do it. You know, what do you say a lot? Well they the they try to do a thing where so what it is in Indiana, so the like the Bears wouldn't technically own the the building for like forty years, but they would still get this is this is also how Indiana was set up. ⁓ but they would still get a share of the revenue for like concerts. Big Ten, you know, all the other stuff all the other events that would go on at there. So there was still like you'd get some sort of revenue even though you don't own it. ⁓ but then after thirty five, forty years you own it and then it's it's ⁓ whatever you want to do with it. But ⁓ yeah, man, it's it's all it's all fucked up. Yeah, it sounds like fucked up. Sound like it got really fucked up really fast. Also, fun fact if you Google the pilot bill. We get to see that the first ⁓ image that shows up is pilot bill from the Lego Batman movie. ⁓ that's cool. That's that's what I was laughing about. I was looking at I was like, What's the pilot bill? And it just shows the character for the Lego movie. Really? Pilot stands for ⁓ payment in lieu of tax. ⁓ well that doesn't sound good. No, I don't ⁓ really know what that means. It doesn't sound good at all. I I'm I'm not a mathematician. I'm not a ⁓ mathematician. Yeah. Yeah. What would the what would Indiana fans do? Would they have to exploit between Bears and Colts then? No, because it's northwest Indiana. It's fucking Chicago anyways. It's Hamlet is closer to Chicago than Arlington Heights is. Do you think Chicago should claim Michael Jackson as a Chicago resident then? He's from Gary. Close. Yeah. I don't think I want Gary quite ⁓ that's that's ⁓ Yeah. I think I think even people from Gary say that. I don't I don't really want to be from Gary, but I kinda get I'm just gonna say I'm from Hammond. Exactly. Exactly. So ⁓ where are you from? It doesn't matter. Why are you asking so many questions? Yeah. ⁓ Chicago suburbs. Way, way east suburbs. This this license is fake. No no one wants to be from Gary. I do it for tax purposes. ⁓ poor Gary. Poor Gary, Indiana. It used to be a thriving community. The steel boom. Yep. Yeah. Gary, Indiana won World War Two. If it wasn't for Gary Indiana have won World War Two. ⁓ ⁓ One of the one of the craziest fights of arguments of of my life. Just wild how fast. And for the listeners, there was a conversation that we had with some mutual friends where the one friend, we'll leave nameless, ⁓ was was adamant that what was it, Detroit? Detroit was the only reason why the United States won World War Two. And and would not look at any other aspects of what else went into wartime production. If it wasn't for Detroit, World War Two would been lost. And like Britain Britain was useless. Churchill didn't matter. Yep. Didn't didn't matter. Nobody else. It was just Pittsburgh Pittsburgh didn't do anything. I guess that's such a weird hill to die on, you know. A whole war. A whole world war. And it wasn't even just like a drunk argument either. They were they were still mad about it the next morning when I saw ⁓ Like they were still butthurt about the whole thing. Just crazy. But it is fucking much every once in a while. Yep. Detroit won World War Two. Not saying they didn't do a big ⁓ huge a huge help, but they they helped, yeah, they helped build airplanes, but You know, you had Pittsburgh, Indiana, Guam, the Philippines once they were liberated, the French, you know, like it was team effort. Britain, France. Yeah. Not not the Swiss though. No. Swiss didn't do much. But Canadians. Canadians. Howl snipers. ⁓ yeah, dude. The Canadians, ⁓ that is what ⁓ the stormtroopers are based off of in Star Wars. Yeah. The Canadian snipers. Mm-hmm. ⁓ the Italians when they when they flipped over? Yep. They did they did some flip flop. They did some flip flop. First we were with the bad guys and then we were like, fuck it, I don't want to be with these guys, I'm gonna go with the winning team. Nah, they're about to lose. This guy's fucking crazy. Because they're on meth all day. ⁓ it's because they they met General Patton. I was watching that movie the other day. He took Palermo, General Patton, and ⁓ they fucking loved him. They loved when Patton rolled through. And everybody else is pissed because ⁓ Patton would be supposed to take Salerno, I think it was, ⁓ in Sicily. And like he was supposed to follow like battle plans and like listen to Montgomery, Bernard Montgomer Montgomery, he was like the leader of the British forces ⁓ in Canada and Italy, and they're like, Yeah, we're gonna, you know, let the British take Italy and you know, Palermo and like all the capitals and stuff. And George Patton was like, Fuck that. I'm gonna get there first. And he like just they just kind of steamrolled across all of Sicily and just said, like, fuck you and your orders. I'm gonna do what I want and showed up and ⁓ yeah, the Italians loved him for it. Huh. Yeah, Patton Patton was a pretty interesting guy. He got in a lot of trouble quite Yeah, he did. Yeah. Some modern day Napoleon. Yeah, he kind of beat the shit out of some of his troops for having PTSD, called him weak. Kind of a old school kind of guy. Got in a lot of trouble for that. He said ⁓ a couple other things about some other people that got him in big trouble. Hey. Boomers, what are you gonna do? ⁓ If you haven't seen it though, the movie patent from nineteen seventy is a pretty solid play. He's also in ⁓ Captain America, First Avenger. He is. Yeah. Yeah. And ⁓ what he's credited as saving the Hunter and First Airborne at the Battle of the Bulge because they were surrounded. But ⁓ all the people in the Hunter and First Airborne said we didn't need help. We're we're airborne and we're supposed to be surrounded, so we didn't we didn't actually ask for help. So yeah, that's a little little fun fact. I've been on a huge what I actually watched Saving Cry to Ryan again. And ⁓ I really like that movie, except for the ending. Why? The ending's perfect. When Tom Hanks says earn this, I just feel like it's a little campy. I get it, I get it. I totally get why they did it. But I was watching the movie, I was like, ⁓ I forgot it. I don't know. No, you're being too critical. That's a beautiful line. It's a beautiful sign offline. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it was maybe it's just the time and place I was watching. I was like, really, Tom Hanks? I am very critical of World War Two movies, though. You might be. What about Torah Torah Torah? That is actually one of the most like historical accurate two movies. And they did all of their ⁓ ⁓ an explosion. So everything that you see blow up in that movie, they actually had to blow it up. Okay. So it was all like actual ⁓ physical stunts and explosions. There was like no CGI to it. But every movie My Dad would watch that movie all the time. Yeah, dude. Tor Tor Tor is legit. Right, Japanese fleet showing up and like how they were ignoring all of that, ⁓ was depicted like accurately. Even like the the names of the guys who were insignificant, right? Like the radio operator that was like runness to general who or whoever, right? Those guys all had names and they were actually like named they found the people that actually did that and then gave them the part in the movie, you know. Like each even minor character is based on somebody real. It's like the great escape. Yeah. What is it? Tora, Tora, Torah, Waterloo, Patton, and I think the Band of Brothers series are like the top four most historically accurate movies. Okay. Braveheart, not even close. No, no, no. But the Patriot is there's a hundred percent accurate. It's it's based on some accuracies. Mel Gibson does take some creative liberty. He does. He does, but in the right ways, always. But I'm gonna go watch Torah Torah Torah. I'm gonna go watch Patton again. Okay. We'll pick it up. All right. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Common Professionals Podcast.
