Dan, I've got a whale of
an episode for us Today. We

8
00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:39,679
are talking about one of the worst
Soviet crimes of the twentieth century, a

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,119
genocide that is nigh unimaginable even for
their standards, perhaps one of the cruelest

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,920
crimes committed in the twentieth century.
But also it's a little funny. We

11
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,359
are talking about whaling. If you
want to know why you can go to

12
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:00,880
the ocean and not see a single
giant fin flapp in our it's because of

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:07,799
the Soviet Union. Listen to this
episode to find out how the Soviets,

14
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,400
of all people, and for no
reason at all, wiped out most of

15
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:19,079
the world's whales. It made cin
a whale extra special and for that we

16
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:29,359
owe them. Welcome to soft Core

22
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,400
How tan I am? I didn't
want to say anything because like, I

23
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,079
don't know what you've been doing,
if you've been like working fields or really

24
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,519
popping. Yeah, dude, oh
look God, well so I do look

25
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,400
more Mexican. But as to like
save the half white of me, I

26
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,680
say bronzing. Yep, you know, because it's like, oh, I'm

27
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:15,919
tanning and I just look Mexican.
I guy bronze to our look Greek.

28
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:20,719
But that's still not the case.
Like I just feel just the three shades

29
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:23,800
I can see on the monitor.
It's just actually I never thought about that

30
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,439
until I look. Now, it's
just like paper kind of normal tan.

31
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:36,360
And then you are just I mean
like malag again, like Jesus, I'm

32
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,479
doing But I fucking feel bad.
I just actually just feel bad about myself

33
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,240
right now. Dude. The past
two weeks I've been like the way I've

34
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,280
been tanning was metal detecting. I
went on Amazon and bought a fucking metal

35
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:52,560
detector for your fields and shit like
no dude on the sidewalk, because I

36
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:59,199
think it's funny. So I spent
one hundred and fifty bucks for a long

37
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,759
or a metal detector called like panky
on Amazon. And so I just walk

38
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,879
around, like through my neighborhood and
just with the detector, like pretending to

39
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,000
dig shit up. The everything has
to be going off constantly and like a

40
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,199
suburban neighbors yeah. Yeah, And
I don't have a shovel because I don't

41
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:17,240
want to just also dig up in
like the side of the roots kind of

42
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,000
weird. Yeah, So I just
walk around with one. It's the weirdest

43
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:23,879
thing you've found so far, he
said, nothing literally, like he's just

44
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:28,080
walking and going up there's something there, and then moving off because I'm too

45
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,680
scared to actually like commit to digging
you up because that looks weird. Yeah,

46
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:35,680
No, dude, in a suburban
neighborhood, you with a shovel,

47
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,080
also, like are you on someone's
property. I'd be like, hey,

48
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,400
whatever exists the beach. I'm like, like the only time that I've like

49
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:44,240
gotten beeps on like something, Oh, I could dig here's like the side

50
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800
of the road. But he was, so I'm not gonna do that.

51
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,039
You should actually go into someone's backyard
with it and start digging, like just

52
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,639
they come outside and they already see
like the melitector's laid out and like,

53
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:57,159
what the fuck are you doing?
Like I think there's treasure here? And

54
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,039
I was gonna prost out a treasure
man. Yeah, I finding property,

55
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,319
and you're like, nut, will
find your keepers. I found it.

56
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,520
Yeah, you didn't even know it
was here. Yeah, I'm taking something

57
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,960
that you have the detector. You
don't have it just because you found out

58
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,199
it existed after I found we go
sixty forty. Since it's on your land,

59
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,520
you should have had your own detector, you know something like that.

60
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,199
If you're not, Yeah, if
you're too lazy to go buy a metal

61
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,480
detector and do a sweep on your
property, it's mine, right, you're

62
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:21,879
giving it up now. Eventually I'm
going to have the ball, So like

63
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:25,480
go somewhere and like dig things up. But even at a park that feels

64
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:28,240
weird, go to the beach,
just digging up a park, especially at

65
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,160
Texas Beach. That's the next thing
is go to like Lake Travis and just

66
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,959
do that and you'll just find bones. That'd be cool, human bones.

67
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,040
I mean, all I need to
do is find one. Just find like

68
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,319
there's be like a leg in board
shorts sticking out of the of the drained

69
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:44,720
lake. Because the drought is like
drying it up. That'd be Actually,

70
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,959
that's a good point. The water
level is down, so I actually might

71
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
be able to find something. You
might find some sweet shit, maybe like

72
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,800
an Italian silver chain. That'd be
dope. I bet you a lot of

73
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,079
people have lost gold. Dude.
One thing, if I find it,

74
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,639
is more than one hundred and fifty
dollars that I spent for the detector.

75
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,680
So one thing is all need to
find. Maybe the money'll pay for itself.

76
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,199
Maybe go to lt Yeah, maybe
check it out. Yeah. Uh

77
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,079
speaking of well, no, not
speaking of that. Whatever, We're just

78
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:14,040
gonna get into the subject. There's
no transit. There's no transition there.

79
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,879
Let's just get into this week's subject, shall we. What do we got

80
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:20,959
this week? What's on deck?
Uh? It kind of made me giggle

81
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,560
when I learned about it, so
I feel like I had to do it

82
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:30,319
immediately. The Soviet Union, it's
one of the deadliest empires in human history,

83
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,120
all right, Lenin Stalin killed tens
and tens and tens of millions,

84
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:44,279
sometimes for political reasons, sometimes for
ethnic or religious reasons, sometimes for no

85
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,399
reason at all. Today we're going
to talk about a group that the Soviets

86
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:57,360
killed for no reason at all.
They were as helpless as you could possibly

87
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:03,920
imagine. Not only had they committed
no crimes, real or imagined, they

88
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:10,519
had not even been accused of any
wrongdoing. Gypsies they were merely in the

89
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,439
way. In all, the Soviets
killed one hundred and eighty thousand of them

90
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:20,279
between nineteen forty six and like nineteen
seventy. I believe that's recent. They

91
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:26,600
just kept going in the seventies,
except in the Soviet Union. I am,

92
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:31,879
of course talking about whales. M
m oh, fuck yeah. The

93
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:41,399
Soviet Union fucking slaughtered the shit out
of Wales for decades. I mean,

94
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,199
they walked so Japan could run.
No no, no, no, no,

95
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:49,279
Japan could fly. They put Japan
beneath the building, They put Japan

96
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:57,319
to shame. It's not the modern
era though. Japan was whaling at the

97
00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:03,959
same time and they were like quadrupling
Japan's numbers. Russia's like gretzki okay Japan

98
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,639
modern day Japan, it's cross cross. Yah. Yeah, that's the best.

99
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,759
That's the best you can do.
Like we give the Japanese ship for

100
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:19,399
slaughtering dolphins and whales, but the
oceans are basically empty today because of what

101
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,759
the Soviets did between the end of
World War Two and the early seventies.

102
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,439
Good riddance, they've gotten the way
the submarines. Dude, current whales are

103
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:32,639
taking down ships. We need to
keep slaughter in these maybe, right,

104
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,160
I mean the whales are fighting back
if anything. Finally, although they're really

105
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:42,319
just killing and are they smart actually
because they know, like we can't take

106
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:46,600
down a whaling ship, but they
figured out which ship belonged to the rich

107
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,240
assholes who maybe own the shipping whale
oil companies, and they're taking out no

108
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:57,360
ship, cutting off the head of
the snake. And they work in packs

109
00:07:57,399 --> 00:08:01,199
too, they do. They're smart, They're awesome, they're gangs. They

110
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,839
well did you hear that? The
do you think they have initiation? Like

111
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:09,319
a frat. You gotta take down
like a dinghy first, Yeah, impacted

112
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,680
something small. Well, that's that's
like the hazing, the initiation, and

113
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:18,399
the final step is taking down like
a mega yacht. Like it's taken down

114
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:22,279
like a Jeff Bezos like two hundred
million dollars putting a hole in it.

115
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,199
You should never flash your lights at
a yacht without its lights on. That's

116
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:31,480
actually orcas. You're gonna get bored, dude. There's gonna be some piracy

117
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:37,960
there from the Orcas. You never
heard that urban legend whenever somebody drives without

118
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,240
their lights on and then you do
the courtesy flash. You do the courtesy

119
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,799
flash, they turn around, make
it, you turn, hunch you down

120
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,480
and kill you. That started from
the bloods of the crips. But it

121
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,320
was like one of those two gangs, like primarily that's where that started from.

122
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,720
Hey, go out, find the
politest motherfucker you can and kill them.

123
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Yeah, exactly. It's like someone
trying to help you, Like imagine

124
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,799
if like there was an aar piece, is it though it's like, hey,

125
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,159
Asley, you have your lights off. No, most of the time,

126
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,919
it's like hey, buddy, maybe
you didn't notice. Maybe you were

127
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,600
in a gas station and pulled out
and the gas station was bright, and

128
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:13,559
you sat the voice he is,
hey buddy. Yeah. Every time you

129
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,720
get into a confrontation, de escalation, Hey buddy, budge, verbal de

130
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:22,000
escalation. When you get in a
fighter, just take your pants off.

131
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,720
No, that's how you de escalate
a ghost. You take you take your

132
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:28,919
dick out to a ghost to show
them, to display dominance and show that

133
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,320
not only are you not afraid,
because what is being afraid really other than

134
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,759
extreme discomfort? Right? Okay,
so you take out your wiener to show

135
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:43,679
them that you are as comfortable as
you could possibly be comfortable enough to take

136
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,159
your penis out. That ghost isn't
making you afraid at all. I thought

137
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:50,120
you were going there because like maybe
ghosts weren't circumcised back then, like only

138
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,320
a certain people were circumcised. What
happens if the ghost pull your dick out

139
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,679
and they're like, what the fuck
is that? What's this jew doing here?

140
00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:00,559
Yeah? And there's more scared,
oh, because they're like, oh,

141
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,399
I know I'm a ghost, I'm
from Hell, but that guy's a

142
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,200
Jew, and yeah, it's terrifying. Doesn't have a hood. I mean,

143
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:11,360
maybe you just finding or the ghost
is really anti Semitic and you fucked,

144
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:16,440
which feels like the more likely situation. So considering it's a person from

145
00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:20,720
history, it's just like an immediate
like throat rip from the very small window

146
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:26,519
where people weren't anti Semitic. Or
the ghost is Jewish and he thinks you're

147
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:33,840
mench He's like, ay, sorry, thought you were a gentile. He's

148
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,200
mad when he finds out slaughters you're
first born. Well, no, he

149
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,200
thinks of Jewish because you didn't put
your circumcision over the door. Yeah,

150
00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:50,440
we certainly we'd have two nails above
our door, and each bronzed foreskin of

151
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,279
our child hangs from a nail.
Safety dude. Yeah, no, spirits

152
00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:00,559
are coming in that home. Let's
talk about a dreamcat. Sure, what

153
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:07,840
do they do with the foreskin?
They just toss it. So yeah,

154
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:11,440
it's not like like with the placenta
that they ask you what you want to

155
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,440
do with it? You eat people, you can eat it. My wife

156
00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:20,600
got it in like in pills pill
form. Uh, and even the umbilical

157
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,639
cord. You'll be like, I
want to keep that because I want to

158
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,240
broad those that damnselves. But uh
yeah, or it's just suck it.

159
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,679
You just and get some STEMIs.
I don't like that, but yeah,

160
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,200
they they don't talk to you about
the foreskin. They're not like, hey,

161
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,440
okay, what do you want us
to come back with the that goes

162
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,600
immediately in the trash? Yes,
as well as should. The only thing

163
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:46,440
that's weird about the force the circumcision
or not even weird. But I was

164
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,519
just like, oh, that's a
bummer for them, is uh, you

165
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:54,320
can't give a baby sedatives or anything. You know what I mean? You

166
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,519
can't. Oh yeah, you can't
sedate in a literal infant. So they're

167
00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:01,679
they you just have to distract them. So they give them like sugar water

168
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:07,200
because they's just like do they tie
it down? Like do they strap it

169
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,200
down? Like it's an inmate that
you don't I wasn't there for Okay,

170
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,720
they take him away, do their
business and then bring them back and he's

171
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:20,639
got a bloody penis cool that you
then for the next like five days are

172
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:26,679
like like terrified that its own shit
is going to get into its open wound

173
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:28,960
that's also in its diaper. So
as a non Jew, we do that

174
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,919
immediately. Yeah, but they have
parties. Yeah, it's they're still pretty

175
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:39,080
immediate a couple of days. It's
they're really really young. It's like first

176
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,279
month, so yeah, I think
so even still first month is scary.

177
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,320
I will look this up. But
if you get circumcised as an adult,

178
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,600
it's the eighth day of the mail
baby's life, so yeah, first week.

179
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:56,000
Basically you can do it as an
adult. You could get circumcised as

180
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,679
an adult, but that is like
a full on I don't even know if

181
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,639
it's an outpatient surgery. It's like
you go under, they put you under

182
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:07,120
under. It's not just like uh
off, you know what I mean?

183
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,919
If you're total coward, I wish
I could put a spell on you that

184
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:20,440
would make you regrow that so that
I could then dare you. Man is

185
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,279
not just flesh and bone. The
spiritual world exists. Talking about the flesh

186
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:28,519
on the bone, bro grow back, grow back? Why not come on

187
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,559
manifest it. It's funny that that
doesn't grow back. It's just like gone.

188
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:39,399
That's how you find out if your
baby's wolverine immediately regenerated. Yeah,

189
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,600
so far or no wolverine that we
know of. Actually, that's why they

190
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,440
do circumcision in the States. They're
just looking for a mutant and and so

191
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:52,480
if if you circumcisee in and it's
immediately like just right back over the head.

192
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,720
The wolverine is not circumcised. He
can't be. He can't be.

193
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,600
No, that's terrifying. Oh god, I don't like that can even bust.

194
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,960
Yeah, why would that matter?
Yeah? I think so? Yeah,

195
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,960
why would that? Every time it
rea grows, it gets over the

196
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,799
hood to the point that do you
know what an erect uncircumcised penis looks like?

197
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,840
No, no, I don't.
It looks like a erect circumcised penis.

198
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:20,320
Dude. I don't know how it
works, because I am very much

199
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,960
circumcised with with a little extra meat
on the bone. I haven't seen that

200
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,559
many dicks in my life. It's
seen a lot like in real life.

201
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,480
In real life, I've seen more
balls in real life than I have.

202
00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:35,679
It's mostly balls, Yeah, seen
a fair amount of wieners. I suppose,

203
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:39,600
just frat house Shenanigans balls. I
got it. I got like a

204
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,879
one friend that has like the third
nut, which you know the legend of

205
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,279
myth, but it was like halfway
down his sack. It was kind of

206
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,039
weird. So I had like two
like just glorious nuts, and like the

207
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,399
third nut was like halfway down.
It was a very strange placement for it.

208
00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:56,240
That is, he should get it
removed and sell it. You can

209
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,919
sell a testicle for like one hundred
thousand dollars. Oh that's there's no way

210
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,039
nut is worth that much. Can
I say it over? He is?

211
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:09,600
Yeah, a nut's probably worth about
fifteen dollars testical donations. So we used

212
00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:13,440
to like like welcome him to their
friend group, like or a new person

213
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,320
to their friend group. But like, hey, you gotta look at Corey's

214
00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:18,399
nuts, and he would show you
his third nut. That's kind of how

215
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,919
it worked. Oh, I'm sorry
it was fifty thousand, and that snope

216
00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:26,840
says that is not true. Yeah, bummer, dude. We can't get

217
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,039
paid for shit. I know.
Fucking sucks. Dude. You bust a

218
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:35,679
few nuts so women can have children
and you get paid twenty bucks. Yeah,

219
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,399
but that's our fault, a hundred
that's our fault for it literally flooding

220
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,679
the market because we can just pop
them off, give me ten minutes and

221
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,759
we will. It's such a low
ask, do you know what I mean?

222
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:54,159
Like a whole to do it.
It's probably more expensive and more difficult

223
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,960
to get a high five. Yes. Meanwhile, Sarah get gets paid by

224
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,799
fifty thousand dollars to carry a baby, which makes sense. Yeah, at

225
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,320
least a surrogate. A surrogate gets
paid six figs. It's an oven.

226
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,200
No shit where the chef surrogate's uh
oh wow, forty five to fifty five

227
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,519
thousand dollars. That's bullshit, was
doing that? Yeah, that is ridiculous

228
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,960
for that is not enough when but
they also get maturnity leave because that'd be

229
00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:25,799
kind of sick. If you get
like a couple of months off of work

230
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,440
after doing that, that's your job, is the pregnancy. Yeah, but

231
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,559
if you can just put that on
top of your normal job, if you're

232
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:37,039
showing in an office double eternity,
that's kind of cool, like you,

233
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,120
oh yeah, I got three months
off because like it's not my baby.

234
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:44,879
But and then you keep doing that, m dope, just a couple of

235
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:47,399
times you get to go. That's
how you hack the system anyway, how

236
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,320
you break the matrix. Speaking of
someone who's not having enough babies whales,

237
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:56,360
let's get back to uh. One
rider termed what the Soviets did to whales

238
00:16:56,799 --> 00:17:03,360
the quote most senseless environmental crime of
the twentieth century. And if you're putting

239
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:07,640
that on a mount rushmore of environmental
crimes in the twentieth century that is filled

240
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,319
with nothing but environmental crimes. I
mean, we were testing nukes for the

241
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:18,359
entire second half of this century.
How many whales did we nuke? I

242
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,039
can assure you the answer is not
none. It's got to be in the

243
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:27,000
dozens. Like truly, we have
nuked whales on accident at least, so

244
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,240
I don't know if accident is the
right word, but well, damn it,

245
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:33,759
we didn't intend. We didn't care
if the whales, what's the Cold

246
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:37,480
War? We had to do it
better than the Russians. So they're just

247
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:40,759
maybe harpooning them. We'll find I
have no idea, but we were nuking

248
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:44,599
them. They were harpooning them instant
death. And I'm not even talking about

249
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:48,480
the oceans. We probably just wheeled
out a blue whale to New Mexico and

250
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:53,640
just blew it the kingdom. Come
we see what happens when it's still not

251
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,359
the worst thing that's ever happened to
a whale in America. This is why

252
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,599
they're fighting back. Do you know
when I'm referencing something from one of our

253
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:06,119
episodes, Oh boiled alive. So
there was a was it barnum? It

254
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,960
was petty Barnums. Yeah, barnums
sing in New York caught on fire and

255
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,319
there was a whale in a tank
there and it boiled alive. Oh god,

256
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,279
the building was on fire. They
obviously couldn't get the whale out.

257
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:25,039
Dude, first time that dude,
What the fuck? Man? These animals

258
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:33,559
don't deserve it, Dude. No, that whales, just like I know

259
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,559
their fins do in captivity, just
kind of slop over. Yeah, they

260
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:44,400
get depressed. It's not a hard
fit at that point. So the craziest

261
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,640
part of this entire Soviet whale genocide
is that there's two crazy parts. The

262
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,400
first one is they were doing it
and no one realized it for the longest

263
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,160
time. So in nineteen forty six
there was an International Convention of Regulation of

264
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,480
Whaling that was signed to create the
International Whaling Commission. It essentially just capped

265
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:08,279
like everything was like, all right, we're not gonna eliminate whaling. We

266
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:15,960
understand that there is some need for
whale parts or products or oil or whatever,

267
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:21,279
but we've we whaled too much last
century. They're already on the brink

268
00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:25,640
of endangerment and extinction. We need
to cap it. You just we can't,

269
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,519
can't keep hunting them like we've been
hunting them. And the purpose of

270
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:36,119
whales oil oil, I mean they
used to use whales oil for like lanterns

271
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,599
and everything. Yeah, lamp oil, everything, both kinds of shit in

272
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:45,559
the seventies when we whales spear and
stuff, right, So that's the products

273
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,559
at this the whale. Whales weren't
even that useful anymore. You don't eat

274
00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:53,759
whale. The Japanese do, but
most people don't, including the Soviets.

275
00:19:55,039 --> 00:20:00,319
We'll get to this. It's fucking
horrible, It's fucking insane. So is

276
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:07,079
it kind of like how the Chinese
love penis wine the Japanese love fuck like

277
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,279
the whale parts. Japanese just will
straight up eat whale meat. I believe

278
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,240
they don't use but they use specific
parts of the whale. They they do.

279
00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:18,519
I don't know for what. I
don't remember for what, but I

280
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:23,039
read something that said they were comparing
the Japanese and the Soviets, and they

281
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:26,200
said the Japanese used when they killed
a whale or dolphin or whatever, they

282
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,720
would use up to like ninety percent
of the body. They would ask them

283
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:30,880
what they would Native American it,
right, they do every part, not

284
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:36,640
as much as much as they could, basic more or less, Okay,

285
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,480
And then I mean, it's a
big fucking animal. There's some you could

286
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,519
feed probably an entire village with it. Oh yeah, dude, if you

287
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:48,799
were like some think about you,
like you're a native tribe in the Pacific

288
00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:55,359
Northwest, uncontacted by Columbuses. It's
five hundred years before Columbus. And there's

289
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,960
like a blue whale that like kind
of gets stuck a little too close to

290
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,039
shore or whatever. You know,
I mean, just go spear the fuck

291
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,559
out of that thing. You're eating
good for a while. And they at

292
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:10,920
that point are probably able to smoke, certainly salt meat. Yep, got

293
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:15,440
they got food forever did. The
Russians just read Moby Dick and we're like,

294
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,119
we need to take these guys out. We'll get to we'll get to

295
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,400
it. Anyway. They've sign a
whole treaty whaling cutback. And actually they

296
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,839
had already previously signed a treaty about
cutting back whaling that and it was part

297
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:30,839
of the Geneva Convention because it was
already that big of a problem in like

298
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:34,359
the twenties and thirties or whatever.
So they were like, we gotta yeah,

299
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,720
first off, war crime, don't
well no, there's like, don't

300
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:41,119
gass each other and fucking stop killing
whales. Yeah, but there there's a

301
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:47,240
part of the Geneva Convention was limiting
whaling essentially. Tell that to Hawaii.

302
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,079
Did they sign it? I don't
know, but I just know they stopped

303
00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:55,240
having ferries between the islands because they
were just using whales of speed bumps.

304
00:21:55,799 --> 00:21:59,839
Yeah, they were drilling whales.
Dude. The funniest picture I ever saw

305
00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:02,279
the other day. I gotta show
you, guys. It's really quick.

306
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:07,279
It's so fucking funny. Uh.
It is essentially like, so you have

307
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:11,880
to fly between islands. Now you
can only fly between Islands's very unfortunate.

308
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:18,440
So whales sometimes, you guys,
just seemed like a deer hit by a

309
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,079
car, Right, that's awesome.
Sometimes cruise ships hit whales like their deer.

310
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:29,920
Yeah, but deer do a lot
of damage. Holy shit, Yeah,

311
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,640
the cruise ship's doing all the damage
in this one. I was like,

312
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:33,920
do they sink the cruise ship?
I don't think so. No.

313
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:38,960
Now, oh god, this one's
even better dude, my homegirl. She

314
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:41,400
hit a deer actually in a Kia
Soul, which is the same car I

315
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:45,400
drive, and it just knocked its
heart out, like it died, but

316
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,319
it's heart landed past where it died. Here's another good one. Whoa,

317
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,960
that's cool. Holy shit. Yeah, just fucking drill bick. And that

318
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,880
whale looks looks so small compared to
that ship. Yeah, fucking giants.

319
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,799
I mean that's not like a blue
whale. But still so. Anyway,

320
00:23:03,839 --> 00:23:07,039
they had all these regulations and stuff, and the Soviets had signed all of

321
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:10,480
it. They signed the Geneva Convention, they signed the International Whaling blah blah

322
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:18,000
blah whatever. But they just kept
whaling to their heart's content anyway, and

323
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,960
simply lied about how many whales they
were killing, Like we're just like,

324
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,640
oh, we only we killed the
two dolls into this year? Is there

325
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,640
game warning? That's kind of keeping
track on the ocean. You we're supposed

326
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,200
to log how many whales you killed
and submit that shit. But also how

327
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,640
many is too many a year?
How many whales were there? No one

328
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,599
knows? Uh well, who's keeping
track of the whales? They claimed?

329
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:52,079
I think the Soviets claimed that they
only killed a couple thousand over the course

330
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,319
of like a decade, when in
reality, in one year alone, they

331
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,160
killed thirteen thousand. Ways, there's
no way we have an exact number,

332
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:03,680
right, we haven't tagged every whale, he said, without a game board.

333
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:07,279
And who's out there, who's out
there, who's gonna find you?

334
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:11,319
It's like like counting kills in the
war, Like I got three today,

335
00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:15,200
you're squad mats. I got sick. Sure, yeah, sure, And

336
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,079
that's how they tallied up whales,
like they just get back to the docks

337
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:22,160
and drink fucking vodka. There,
my boat killed twenty today whales. Well,

338
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,960
so what if the whales were asexual
or just didn't reproduce. They're kind

339
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:34,400
of millennial whales. Speak for yourself. It's a declining population, right,

340
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,799
It's not just because of me.
The choice, the choice, you could

341
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:42,440
do it. How many chicks could
you gotten pregnant by? Now? Every

342
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:49,839
single one had sex with m I
mean that is factual, unless I'm just

343
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:55,799
shooting blanks, which could also be
the case too. I'm too much of

344
00:24:55,799 --> 00:24:59,039
a coward to find that out.
Well to go get check it out that

345
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,759
I wouldn't want to. I got
good man and you could just blame the

346
00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:04,640
woman for so long and just be
like, why would you ever take responsibility

347
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:12,079
for anything? Always blame the woman
that typically works out in history, Yes,

348
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,799
I agree with that. So the
Soviets spurn the witch, always the

349
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,079
witch's fault. And then actually,
honestly, even if you're sperm count slow,

350
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,960
you can still blame the woman for
her witchiness. She's not extracting enough

351
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,920
spurm. Yes, yes, being
around this woman actually makes me produce less

352
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:40,759
spurn What if that was true?
What if being around women like decrease your

353
00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:44,359
sperm count and then like they just
counted like some gay guys load and it

354
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,200
was basically you could just like see
it wriggling, like the testosterone on testosterone

355
00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:51,519
just like just hanging out with the
boys build up. Yeah, I just

356
00:25:51,559 --> 00:25:55,240
like filled up the loads so much. I need to find a woman.

357
00:25:55,279 --> 00:26:00,839
It's such a miss high five.
They're just like, yeah, like a

358
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,440
gay guy is just talking to his
girlfriend one day and he's like, Kyle

359
00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:07,799
came in me again, and like
I hate how you can just feel it

360
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,079
swimming everywhere and the woman's like,
what are you talking about, Steve.

361
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,400
We've been trying to get pregnant.
Steve's been coming inside it. Well,

362
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,799
you just need the fellows in the
room to produce more speah, so they're

363
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,839
cheering you on you up. That
would make sense. I mean I bet

364
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,119
I had bet I bet I had
higher sperm counts when I was having sex

365
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,799
and the Raturny House and there were
two other guys also in the room,

366
00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:34,400
just because we were all sleeping in
the same room. Still did it?

367
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,920
Still did it? The power and
safety and numbers. Yeah, there was

368
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,559
one time where like all three of
us were doing at the same time and

369
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:45,160
I was just like, this is
weird, but I like having sex that

370
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,119
is technically a energy. I mean, we were all behind sheets. It

371
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,559
wasn't like we were all looking.
I should say that every bed had like

372
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,240
what we called shag sheets around them. Unfamiliar Yeah, curtains, yeah,

373
00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:59,720
shag sheets, but they were all
of them were like like like bed sheets

374
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,759
that you hung up over a wire. Yeah, we have an actual curtain.

375
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:04,440
I had some really cool like or
even like a shower curtain on a

376
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,440
wire. It's not like anything fancy. I had some cool like sports themed

377
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,839
ones. So I would like be
plowing my girlfriend behind like an eight year

378
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,519
old's bed sheets basically yep, there's
like a football, a baseball bat and

379
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:19,319
a glove and a soccer ball,
just in random orders. And you had

380
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,759
a race car bed. I wicked
at show. Sick. I mean I

381
00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:26,799
did have a very peter panask bed. It was hanging from the ceiling,

382
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:32,839
like, yeah, that's cool.
So you had to climb a ladder to

383
00:27:32,839 --> 00:27:34,799
get to it, which, like, by the way, not a good

384
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:38,000
idea when you're drinking that much to
have to climb a ladder to get into

385
00:27:38,039 --> 00:27:41,200
bed. And that's after he popped
his water bed. But like if you

386
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,759
feel like if she goes up first, she's like you get a cool little

387
00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:47,440
view before you get up there,
which that's a nice touch. Yeah,

388
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:51,519
that's about all the benefits. Do
you have a fish tank? No fish

389
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:57,519
tank. I did have an f
bro turtles a box turtle, but not

390
00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:00,400
in the tank. Readier sliders were
in a tank. It was my buddies.

391
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,880
Uh turtles. That room had a
stig. No, they don't smell.

392
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,160
Turtles fucking smelled, dude, dece
didn't smell. That was probably just

393
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,279
like the beer and being drunk and
yeah around the drugs was there that Yeah,

394
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,400
didn't make it smell like I was
dead to anything. Yeah, my

395
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:18,920
immune system is still excellent from living
in that house for three years. Yeah,

396
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,039
oh absolutely. It was so filthy. COVID cannot hurt me. No,

397
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,839
we can't. At one point,
I don't know if I told this

398
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,279
on the the story of the show
before. I probably have a million years

399
00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:30,480
ago, but like I'll tell you, Scott, because it's funny to me

400
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:34,079
forever. At one point are the
our fratarity house was built. This a

401
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:37,799
little historical fact too. It was
built in the nineteenth century, as old

402
00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:41,160
as fuck, and uh, the
urinals, the pipe, the plumbing was

403
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,160
horrible and like it had just built
up all this I don't know, like

404
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,039
urine and stuff in there for years
and years and years, and we hired

405
00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:52,319
some cheap ass plumber to come in. It got to the point the urinals

406
00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:56,400
were clogged, so we hired some
cheap ass plumber to come in and like

407
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,720
clear out the pipes. And this
guy's was a dumb and I don't think

408
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,759
a real plumber anyway whatsoever, And
he just poured a shit ton of bleach

409
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:11,279
down the pipes. Well, when
you mix ammonia, which is heavy in

410
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,599
urine, and bleach, you get
a weapon they used in World War One

411
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:22,920
called mustard gas. And so I
went into pee after the guy had been

412
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,279
in there like hours, I've been
there, opened the door and I'm just

413
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:30,799
greeted by a thick yellow cloud.
Oh you can even see it. Yeah,

414
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:37,039
that is shit in the entire bathroom, fuck the showers, the urinal

415
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:45,160
everything. But at this point I'm
too lazy to go to the other bathroom,

416
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,519
so I just take a deep breath
in the hallway, walk into the

417
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:53,960
cloud of mustard gas literal mustard gas
pee, and then leave. And that

418
00:29:55,079 --> 00:29:57,440
is why Rob is deformed to this
day. That's why I can't hand.

419
00:29:57,799 --> 00:30:03,279
Damn, dude, you were like
in the shoes of your forefather mustard.

420
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,160
You were in the trenches. Literally
literally. That's awesome. By the way,

421
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,599
the buster gas, they must call
it that because it was like yellow,

422
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,880
a yellowish tint, because it was
there was I didn't if it was

423
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,920
the p or what, but it
was a yellowish tint. And I realized,

424
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,759
do you think that's how they made
mustard gas in the trenches? Pp

425
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,200
and bleach? Yeah? I hope. So it's pissed into a bleach bottle.

426
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:25,440
Are there any frat houses that have
like the pist troughs with the old

427
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,119
school pist trough Certainly, I've not
met in one, but I'm certain there

428
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:32,039
are. I'd love one of those. I'd be sick just so you can

429
00:30:32,039 --> 00:30:34,279
slide through it. Hate pistroughs so
much. They're so cool, dude,

430
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:38,119
what's cool about them? Oh?
Your boys can pete in the same spot

431
00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:41,759
night, Dick, bro It's sick. I mean yeah, it's like the

432
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:45,000
most like smelly thing. But if
I ever go. I went to a

433
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:48,680
demolition derby not too long ago,
and the bathroom had to pick an L

434
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,000
shaped pistrough. It was cool,
so I will want my for Serry House

435
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,359
didn't have that, but my college
football stadium did. Yeah, it was

436
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:03,200
literally the best. That's the only
no dividers be a real man. Maybe

437
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,240
it just reminds me of the kid
going to college football games like UCLA had

438
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,440
it. You know, they had
the pist troughs at the Rose Bowl.

439
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,559
Of course, I feel like it's
an old stadium. It was. Brickley

440
00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:15,160
Field has troughs even in my high
school when I was there, Like when

441
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:18,359
I graduated twenty thirteen, my high
school still had pist troughs. It was

442
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,039
incredible that that is pretty sweet.
Yeah. Actually, yeah, I'm into

443
00:31:22,039 --> 00:31:26,160
that, I'll admit it. Uh
So, let's talk about a ship for

444
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:33,480
the moment. It's called this.
The Slava means glory. This thing was

445
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:41,000
a fucking whale grim reaper. In
her first season, this Slava caught only

446
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,160
by caught, I mean, killed
only three hundred and eighty six whales.

447
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,519
Was there a specific whale they targeted? I didn't write down the breeds,

448
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:57,279
but like basically all of them,
I mean, humpbacks they decimated real bad.

449
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:01,640
Blue. They moved on to blue
whales. Eventually they're I think like

450
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,400
gray whales. There's a couple of
whales I'd never heard of that I guess

451
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,640
they did drive extinct basically, I
mean like they fucked up every type of

452
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:14,079
the Actually Orcas weren't on there,
but basically every other type of whale they

453
00:32:14,119 --> 00:32:15,880
were fucking How do you find a
whale? Just wait for it to breeze

454
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,640
or do you have sonar? Like
we'll get we'll get to okay, okay,

455
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:28,640
because you're thinking with your post Soviet
slaughtering all the whales modern brain.

456
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,880
Yeah, but there used to be
Apparently I didn't know this because I wasn't

457
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,119
alive for it. There used to
be whales just fucking everywhere, shoulder to

458
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:44,359
shoulder. You couldn't jump in the
water. So blubber funny you say that.

459
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:50,079
At one point early on in the
whale Holocaust, Soviet helicopter pilots who

460
00:32:50,079 --> 00:32:52,359
were from the ship and they were
out spotting, they joked back to the

461
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,880
ship, They're like, if we
need lumgimllergency landling, we can land on

462
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:02,039
the whale. There's so many whale
Did they gun them down from theoptershunting?

463
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:07,119
Damn it, because you can't really
shoot in like bullets into water very effectively.

464
00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:12,200
Each They can only go like a
few inches honestly. Yeah, for

465
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,680
those who don't know, you are
a gunsmith, basically yes, yeah,

466
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,680
yeah, I work on guns for
a living. But yeah, no bullets.

467
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,519
I mean, it depends on the
caliber and the distance in the range,

468
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,240
all the bullshit, But still they're
not gonna go past a foot and

469
00:33:24,279 --> 00:33:29,160
even be lethal. So actually I'll
ask you this because you're about the probably

470
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,640
the most one of the most technically
intelligent people on guns I know. So

471
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,839
the scene in Same Private Ryan,
I was just gonna bring that up to

472
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,480
in the d D too, when
it's like like honestly, past six inches,

473
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,799
the velocity stops so much like it
might make it a foot. Yeah,

474
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:46,039
it might, but it's not gonna
be lethal at that It's not going

475
00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:50,240
to go through I think even at
that distance of what mg fourty two is

476
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,839
gonna do, it's it's gonna hit
the hit the water, go six inches

477
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,359
and then just chill. Yeah.
Yeah, and it might. I mean

478
00:33:55,519 --> 00:33:59,119
maybe if you're I guess within the
six inches, it might hurt like a

479
00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:02,119
bitch or something. Yeah, it's
yeah, it'll like within that six I

480
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,880
mean, grant, that's you almost
breaching the surface. So yeah, that's

481
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,039
going to penetrate, but it's not
going to go far. It's like hitting

482
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:12,760
a fucking concrete wall with damn hitting
the water. Yeahah, even like a

483
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,000
fifty cow which ione's like oh fifthy
col big bullet, Yeah, big speed,

484
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,159
that's still gonna stop because it's also
a big bullet, bigger mass.

485
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,800
Hits the water dispersion, everything doesn't
go far. Yeah, bigger resistance.

486
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,920
And this I'm talking about like you
can shoot it from like a swimming pool.

487
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,000
I'm shooting into a I'm shooting into
the pool standing up next to it.

488
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,599
It's going six inches. Really yeah, damn. So if you are

489
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,239
at your Fourth of July. Not
to be topical, but this is right

490
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,639
before July. If your Fourth of
July party is at a pool and experience

491
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,119
is a mass shooting, hold your
breath, yeah, straight up, like

492
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,159
jump in the pool. Hold your
breath. Yeah, wait out the shooter

493
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,079
just like the bees. Yeah,
if a bee swarm attacks, you go

494
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:59,159
in the water. Mass shooter,
go in the water, dude. So,

495
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,920
first year, the SLAVA caught just
three hundred and eighty six whales,

496
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,840
so they were only averaging a little
over a whale a day. Bad numbers.

497
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,599
Gotta get gotta pump those numbers up. But by the fifth year,

498
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,119
Slava's annual catch was approaching two thousand. Wait, I'm sorry, I just

499
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:22,039
can't get past this. We should
start teaching schools to go to the pool

500
00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:24,360
then, yeah, run to your
run to your pool. And if schools

501
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,159
don't have pools, we build them
pools. Every school should have a pool.

502
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,320
Or actually, here's a better idea. Okay, school shooter comes into

503
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,360
the school right, every door slams
shut, every classroom fills up with water

504
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,960
like the Kingsman. Yeah, the
training seemed for that. Yeah, why

505
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:54,480
not? I think that would be
beneficial. Do it just neutralized that fucking

506
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:59,360
guy. Just have a tidal weight
take them out too. Oh yeah,

507
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:05,719
maybe wave pool fluctuates every couple seconds
of like big waves coming down the hallways.

508
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,920
I think we just saw school shooting. We did. You're welcome America.

509
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,519
Well water, dude, water fountain. We have all the solutions.

510
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,119
Every school has a water fountain.
I have the whole plumbing system that they're

511
00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:21,400
just not using. Right. Yeah, it's not just for toilets, it's

512
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,559
for filling classrooms up with water.
Uh so. Yeah, by the net,

513
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:30,320
by the sixth year, the Slava
was capping three thousand whales a year,

514
00:36:30,599 --> 00:36:34,440
so they were killing about eight whales
a day. By nineteen fifty nine.

515
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,840
The harpooners on the Slava, who
were apparently just fucking snipers with these

516
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,639
things, they had like fat harpoon
guns on the you know ship or whatever.

517
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,960
I one article I read described as
one dude who was just in swim

518
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,400
trunks, shirtless with a red bandana
on his head, just like smoking a

519
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,559
sig. Fucking whales. That's the
coolest thing I've ever heard in my life.

520
00:36:54,639 --> 00:37:00,239
Dude, that's so cool. I'm
just thinking of that scene from Shindler's

521
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:07,079
List where he's taking a slow drag
of a cigarette, puts it down and

522
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:10,880
then just starts smoking whales. That's
pretty much what these guys were doing.

523
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,920
They were killing more whales than the
ship could even process. So they would

524
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,880
be in fleets, right, and
they would have whale hunter ships and they

525
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,280
would have like a factory ship,
and the factory ship would process the whale

526
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,960
and shit like that. But they
were killing too many whales. They did

527
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,320
not have the capacity to process it. But they were still just offing as

528
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:37,480
many whales as they could see.
And we'll get to the reason for that.

529
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:42,480
But they were killing so many whales
that eventually the carcasses were just floating

530
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:47,639
alongside the ships, like they were
just floating through a sea of dead whales

531
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,519
that they had killed. And they
were like, well, we don't have

532
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:57,599
a room a whaler on another fleet. Sometimes, like the whales would there

533
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:01,679
were so many whales that they would
rot way waiting to be processed by the

534
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:06,519
factory ship. How many sharks feasted, Yeah, as sharks, segulls,

535
00:38:06,559 --> 00:38:09,800
anything would just be like all over
them too. I assume a smell would

536
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:15,039
be fucking horrific, right. A
whaler on another fleet likened the process of

537
00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:19,320
they would sometimes they would just strip
them of the blubber if they couldn't use

538
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,199
anything else at that point, and
they likened that to the process of just

539
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,400
like peeling a banana. They would
just peel off the skin, take the

540
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,159
blubber, and then just let the
whole ass rest of the whale go back

541
00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:35,599
into the ocean to be eaten by
whatever. By nineteen sixty one, all

542
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:39,079
the whales off the coast of Australia
and New Zealand, where a lot of

543
00:38:39,079 --> 00:38:44,079
this was happening, were basically gone, like gone, it had gone from

544
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:50,440
At one point, I think somebody
was like likened looking out over the ocean

545
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,599
and seeing all the whale spouts to
like looking at a forest of water.

546
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,239
To them, just it's just the
ocean just being fucking empty. They had

547
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,000
killed every fucking whale they could find, and the whalers started complaining. They

548
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,920
were like, man, this job
sucks now, like we only like the

549
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,159
only things left to kill were like
teenagers and calves, and they were like,

550
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,079
you just don't get a lot of
stuff off of them. It's not

551
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:15,679
it's not as fun. It's not
as big of a fight. Yeah,

552
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,119
catching a big fish for a little
smish a little fish where it's like,

553
00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:22,840
it's not as fun. It's like
full metal jag. How do you shoot

554
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:29,320
a calf? You just don't lose
it so much. Yeah, so they

555
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,880
had to find a new place.
Did Australia not have issues with this?

556
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:37,320
I think ever, they were lying
about it and everything in Australia. Nobody's

557
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:42,119
monitoring them, So Australia is just
like, oh I sweet, we don't

558
00:39:42,519 --> 00:39:45,039
And in the forties they weren't like
fucking anything. It's more like the fifties

559
00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:49,800
and sixties. Okay, But so
did they have anyone, like a navy

560
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,599
that would even notice this ship At
that time, no one really cared about

561
00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:54,880
the whaling fleets. Yeah, they
probably just didn't give a shit, like

562
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,280
we have kangaroos. It's just like
a whaling fleet. They were like,

563
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,800
whatever, it's not a military fleet. So it's when you're gonna show up

564
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,199
to over coast and harpoon somebody like, yeah, it's not a big deal.

565
00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:08,800
Even if they were harpooning humans in
Australians be like fucking shit, Oh,

566
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,559
it's pretty bulls. They'd be all
right, we're gonna go back to

567
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,880
nothing. They're lazy people too,
they are. I respect them for it,

568
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:22,480
though they steal all the valor of
being like a Western civilization society.

569
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:31,000
But they don't do shit, just
crack open a fosterest. So you must

570
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:37,159
be thinking to yourself at this point, Boy, these Soviets must have really

571
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:43,119
needed whale products with all these whales
they were killing. Nope, they just

572
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:47,000
wanted them out of the way.
I wish it was even that good of

573
00:40:47,039 --> 00:40:52,119
an excuse. They're bored, even
that would have been better. To be

574
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:59,719
honest, they were killing these whales
on an industrial scale because that's just what

575
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,079
they were told to do, just
fallen orders. Now during this were they

576
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:07,840
also killing each other? Like was
this still during like the revolution and shit

577
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,039
like that, Like, no,
sixties, this is the fifty sixties.

578
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:14,599
This is Stalin post sarship and Okay, so they weren't killing anything else,

579
00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:16,239
so they're like they weren't even in
Afghanistan yet. Yeah, yeah, they

580
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:22,400
might as well kill something, right, So, which makes sense. They're

581
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:28,000
the reason that they killed so many
whales is because, as you know,

582
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:34,400
with like a communist society socialist but
communists in particular, the economy is like

583
00:41:34,639 --> 00:41:39,880
super planned, right, like the
government every you know, they dictate everything

584
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,679
because the governments the people and the
people and the means of production and so

585
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:49,519
the people are really just the dictators
and whatever else. Tell you exactly what

586
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:54,119
is supposed to happen for every single
fucking thing, and you do it full

587
00:41:54,159 --> 00:42:01,000
stop. So there was an obligation
to satisfy an obscure line item in the

588
00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:07,800
five year plan for the Soviet economy, and it had been set with no

589
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:15,400
regard for what the Soviets actually needed. From the whaling industry in particular,

590
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,000
the government said it just what they're
supposed to do, Just hit quota or

591
00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:22,559
fuck you. Japanese whalers, like
I said, made use of ninety percent

592
00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:25,880
of the whales that they brought in. According to Soviet scientists, they used

593
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:35,880
barely thirty percent. And again this
stemmed from a deep oversight in Soviet bureaucracy.

594
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,760
So whaling some bureaucrat who didn't know
anything about either thing was like whaling

595
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,039
just got thrown under the umbrella of
fishing, right, and they were like,

596
00:42:47,079 --> 00:42:55,760
okay, need these million fish,
so similar poundage, similar gilogram of

597
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,679
whale. What if it was just
somebody in the kremlin cut in corners.

598
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:02,519
What do you mean like it was
a requirement for this much fish, this

599
00:43:02,679 --> 00:43:06,440
many pounds, And he's just like, what if you just kill a whale,

600
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:08,599
big fish, big pounds. Well, they were cutting, they were

601
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,880
They did cut corners, and what
it was on is they were like,

602
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,199
look, we need these many fish. So then they're like, so these

603
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,199
much weight. They didn't know,
they didn't know what to actually how much

604
00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:22,320
whale they actually needed. So they
were like, eh, we need this

605
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:27,079
much fish so from ocean, we
need these much whale too. So they

606
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:32,119
just used this same metric even though
they didn't need nearly that much whale.

607
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:39,000
So the whalers were given their targets, their quotas, and they had to

608
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,519
go out and meet those quota.
Oh dude. It was probably somebody that

609
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:50,000
had like a Captain Ahab experience.
Whales were forever on site, fight on

610
00:43:50,159 --> 00:43:55,039
site. Dude. He got into
a position of power and was just like,

611
00:43:55,079 --> 00:43:58,800
we need to take these bitches out. No one's going to check me,

612
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,920
no one's gonna care. Really,
he was right right on both counts.

613
00:44:04,039 --> 00:44:09,679
No one cared, no one checked
him for years. So the other

614
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:14,280
re but It didn't even matter though, because once what his motivations were,

615
00:44:14,519 --> 00:44:17,960
because once the quota was set,
you got to hit quota. Because the

616
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:24,440
last thing you want to do is
return to Soviet Russia not having accomplished your

617
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:30,320
mission, not having followed orders.
So one captain who all the way back

618
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:35,159
in nineteen thirty six didn't meet his
target was when he came back to port

619
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,280
arrested, jailed, and tortured by
secret police who accused him of being a

620
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:44,199
Japanese agent. They were like,
you're leaving whales for the Japs, aren't

621
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,840
you. He was like, no, I just couldn't find them any whales

622
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,440
at the time, it makes sense, yeah, it's pre World War two.

623
00:44:52,119 --> 00:44:54,920
Yeah no, there was like they
just accused him of I mean,

624
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,159
he just if you don't if you
don't do what you're told, you get

625
00:44:59,199 --> 00:45:04,920
fucked up, right to jail,
as the famous meme says. But Soviet

626
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,719
scientists eventually started to get worried after
literally all the fucking whales were gone,

627
00:45:08,199 --> 00:45:14,079
Like they started the scientists started looking
around at me like I don't think this

628
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,440
is good, and I think people
are gonna notice, and I think they're

629
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:22,239
gonna figure out it with us no
one's hitting quota that they execute all of

630
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,559
the ship owners. That'd be a
good way to cover it up, just

631
00:45:25,679 --> 00:45:30,519
kill all the ship dudes. Uh
yeah, well they didn't, but that

632
00:45:30,559 --> 00:45:35,159
would have Why not. We don't
know where the whale is all over the

633
00:45:35,159 --> 00:45:39,599
whaler's are gone, so don't that's
him. Several scientists, actually, and

634
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:47,800
I think the early seventies, took
a risk and complained directly to Alexander Ishkov,

635
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:53,079
who was the Minister of Fisheries and
quite the title. One of them,

636
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,000
Yeah, I know right. One
of them was called into Ishkov's office

637
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,760
and the minister was like, what
do you what the fuck going on?

638
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:05,400
When you want and the scientist,
being a big nerd you know, was

639
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,199
like, if we keep whaling like
this, my grandchildren are a grandchildren,

640
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,480
they won't see a whale. Are
gonna grow up in a world with no

641
00:46:13,559 --> 00:46:19,360
whales at all, And Ishkov goes, your grandchildren, your grandchildren are the

642
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,440
ones who can remove me from my
job direct quote. He's like, I

643
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:27,199
don't give it. I really care
about whoever's in above me, who's gonna

644
00:46:27,199 --> 00:46:30,760
fuck me up for not getting them
enough whales. They don't even know why

645
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,679
they need the whales. But if
I don't get them the fucking whales,

646
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:37,039
I know, I'm fucked. You
haven't seen the death of Stalin. Yeah,

647
00:46:37,199 --> 00:46:40,400
but yeah, this is very accurate. They just tortured a guy who

648
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,119
didn't kill enough whales. What are
they gonna do to the owner? The

649
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,960
main guy? Right? This should
have been the plot. I'd be terrified.

650
00:46:47,039 --> 00:46:51,719
They should run back that entire cast
and just do this Soviet movie.

651
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,159
This is the whales? Yeah,
real quick, Before we get back into

They have weighted blankets, they have
RV mattresses if you know, the

662
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,880
summer on the road or whatever.
Couple really cool things about them. All

663
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:45,960
their stuff, everything I just named
has cooling technology, which is great for

664
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:50,079
the summer, especially down here in
Texas. So I've literally I remember the

665
00:47:50,119 --> 00:47:53,039
first time I touched aa ghostbed pillow
that had the cooling technology. It did

666
00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:57,159
not make physical sense to me,
like it felt like it defied the laws

667
00:47:57,159 --> 00:48:00,760
of physics. It was cool to
the touch the entire time I was touching

668
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,800
it. It is amazing, It's
awesome. I cannot recommend this stuff enough.

669
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,039
By the way, they also have
adjustable basis, so if you want

670
00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:10,559

00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:19,719
need good credit, zero down,
zero percent financing. You can finance it,

673
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,800
I think for a long time.
I can't remember the exac dave,

674
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,480
but you can finance it for a
healthy amount of time. All their stuff's

675
00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:30,599
made in America. And if their

like I the first time I try to

693
00:49:39,119 --> 00:49:42,519
Factor meal, because like, they
sent me a free box, and obviously

694
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:45,719
I'm gonna eat free food no matter
what it is, basically, but I

695
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,920
was like, yeah, obvious,
I'm gonna eat this. I heated it

696
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,400
up, whatever wasn't frozen, just
took it out of the refrigerated bucks put

697
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,679
it uh in, heating it up, and uh, I was just blown

698
00:49:54,679 --> 00:49:58,920
away by how good it was.
And it is no prep, no mess.

699
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:00,199
You don't need to do dishes,
and you're gonna clean is your fork

700
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:05,440
or your knife whatever or both.
And another thing is they optimize. They

701
00:50:05,559 --> 00:50:10,639
personalize with whatever sort of like diet
or a meal plan you're on. So

702
00:50:10,679 --> 00:50:15,880
they do low calorie, they do
protein plus keto, vegan and vegetarian.

703
00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:19,960

different meals a week. There's more than

704
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,440
sixty add ons you can do.
They've got appetizers. I think you can

705
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,079
even cater with them. Basically,
so if you want to throw up a

706
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,480
Fourth of July party, it might

732
00:52:15,639 --> 00:52:16,800
to do it with like beer or
wine or something like that, but I

733
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,280
kind of didn't want to do that
anymore. Even though you know, I'm

756
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,760
the Soviets ran out of wales to
kill it in the southern hemisphere, so

757
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:49,639
they fucked up back to the northern
Hemisphere and they start killing the whales there,

758
00:53:49,679 --> 00:53:53,400
blue whales, especially from nineteen sixty
one and nineteen sixty four, they

759
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,159
went from killing four thousand whales a
year in the North Pacific to thirteen thousand

760
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:04,440
whales a year in sixty Soviet scientists
said that the blue whale was quote commercially

761
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,400
extinct in the North specific and after
even just one more year they would have

762
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:14,960
been straight up extinct. Humpback whales
were so dis depleted it was impossible to

763
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,320
continue whaling, just because it was
so fucking hard to find him. At

764
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:22,920
that point, all he's all one
scientists saw in a part of the ocean

765
00:54:23,039 --> 00:54:27,480
was just floating dead whales where previously
he had been there a couple of years

766
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,199
earlier, and it was nothing but
like happy living whales jumping out of the

767
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:37,159
water and everything which is corpse like, rotting corpses floating. In nineteen seventy

768
00:54:37,159 --> 00:54:40,960
two, the IWC, the Whaling
Commission, was finally like was finally like

769
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:49,239
all right, we don't know where
the whales went, but someone's fucking numbers

770
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:54,639
aren't adding up. So we're putting
a guy on everyone's ships. This is

771
00:54:54,800 --> 00:55:00,159
bullshit. I'm putting a case on
all you motherfuckers. Yeah, everyone's getting

772
00:55:00,599 --> 00:55:05,199
a whaleman, a whaleman on their
ship from us, And so you would

773
00:55:05,199 --> 00:55:09,440
think the Soviets were fucked. That
wasn't the problem, though, because the

774
00:55:09,559 --> 00:55:17,840
Soviets were able to find an ally
who was not otherwise an ally and therefore

775
00:55:19,199 --> 00:55:23,079
would not be suspected of collaborating with
the Soviets, even though they probably should

776
00:55:23,079 --> 00:55:30,440
have been suspected. The Soviets and
Japanese got together and would be like they

777
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,760
would get like a Japanese observer on
their ships, and a Japanese ship would

778
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,960
get a Soviet observer, and they'd
all be like, it's all on the

779
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:45,840
How is there a single whale live? Stay? You put those two forces

780
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:52,199
together, it's a whale apocalypse.
It's a whale of a problem for whales.

781
00:55:52,159 --> 00:55:57,000
We should have had so many,
We should have so much cool like

782
00:55:57,039 --> 00:56:02,440
whale swords, like swordsmen out of
whalebones, where's those? Why not make

783
00:56:02,519 --> 00:56:07,760
cool sword? A wh whale rib
yeah, I guarantee every man named Ivan

784
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,400
has one. It'd be fucking sweet. I want a whalebone sword. Yeah,

785
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,480
that's a real saturated market in Rush. Actually, you can go to

786
00:56:13,519 --> 00:56:16,760
a flea market and just get like
a twenty foot bone sword that seems like

787
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:21,440
a narwhal tusks like in combat,
you know, but I want to see

788
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,119
it when combat where well, no, there's like some it's like some dude

789
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:29,440
wherever narwals are found. Yeah,
he fought off some robbert with a narwhal

790
00:56:29,559 --> 00:56:30,960
tusk. That's fucking sick. It's
on a bridge. You can see the

791
00:56:31,079 --> 00:56:36,880
like the CCTV of this dude with
a narwhal tusk like fighting off a robber

792
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,320
who like stole some chicks purse.
That's awesome. So, like we need

793
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:49,079
those with whalebone swords. Yeah,
I agree. Uh so the whaling eventually

794
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:55,719
did stop though, because one scientist
said, quote, simply because we killed

795
00:56:55,719 --> 00:57:06,159
all the whales, there's nothing left
to whale. What year was that when

796
00:57:06,159 --> 00:57:09,880
a scientist said no more whales like
the seventies? Hell yeah, the Russian

797
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:15,920
captains get to their farm like thanos
and just sit down like their job is

798
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:20,199
done. Yeah, basically, dude, that's why God invented Steve her when

799
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,840
he's like, we got to bring
back the whales, dude, that's why

800
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,840
he existed. Man. But Neptune
eventually took them from us. The ocean

801
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:35,719
reclaimed him. So the whalers,
by the way, were all in on

802
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:39,719
this because it was like a patriotic
duty, because they were kind of told

803
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:45,559
and believed that, like, dude, you can let everyone else take wales.

804
00:57:46,199 --> 00:57:52,679
We're not gonna get whales. Soviet
Russia. You're not gonna let get

805
00:57:52,679 --> 00:57:54,679
your brothers and sisters, your comrades. You're not gonna get them whales.

806
00:57:54,840 --> 00:58:00,000
You Americans, Japanese and fucking Norwegians
get all the whales, not us.

807
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,800
And so they were like fuck that, We're going to New Zealand wederve whales.

808
00:58:06,119 --> 00:58:08,880
And so that was part of the
reason that that drove them uh to

809
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,599
to whales so much. As well, the Soviets had to get theirs.

810
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,280
Also, though whaling was a great
job in the Soviet Union, this was

811
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:22,519
like a legitimate, really good job. Not only did it pay well,

812
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,400
but if you hit your targets,
if you did hit your quotas, like

813
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,840
right, so if you didn't hit
your quota, your tortured, accused of

814
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,239
being an agent of a foreign state, no pressure. Yeah yeah, if

815
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:36,760
you did, though, you got
a big fucking parade. Also, you

816
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,480
get away from those people for a
bit. You're out in the sea boys,

817
00:58:42,039 --> 00:58:44,039
So that that is a big part
of two. And I'll get you're

818
00:58:44,079 --> 00:58:47,199
gone from the rest of the Soviet
Union for months at a time. I

819
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,679
will get to that in a second. That is also why it was a

820
00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:52,239
great job. But can you imagine
this, Scott? Do you did you

821
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,679
work on an oil rig? No? You did? I look like I

822
00:58:54,679 --> 00:58:58,519
should. Yeah, okay, but
did imagine this anyway? Because I'm sure

823
00:58:58,519 --> 00:59:04,039
you're friends with several people like this. Imagine like a roughneck or a deadliest

824
00:59:04,079 --> 00:59:09,199
catch dude not just coming home with
a huge paycheck, but also as soon

825
00:59:09,199 --> 00:59:14,199
as he's handed that paycheck, he
is he gets a parade and is a

826
00:59:14,199 --> 00:59:19,639
local celebrity. Yeah, and then
you're just stimulating the local economy with the

827
00:59:19,719 --> 00:59:24,880
booze. And there they're already insane
with their paychecks. Now add on that

828
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:31,239
they're being celebrated for getting that paycheck. I mean, that's that's the life.

829
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:35,199
That's like, It's glorious, dude, Me and the boy is singing

830
00:59:35,239 --> 00:59:42,159
sea shan as all the local bitches
are like, yo, that's a whale

831
00:59:42,199 --> 00:59:46,320
boy from the sea. Now the
Russian girls would not be super impressed with

832
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:53,360
that and be like, oh too
well, only too well to day to

833
00:59:53,480 --> 01:00:00,760
whales. Another big appeal, like
you said, was getting to leave.

834
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:05,239
They got to go to foreign ports, which meant two things. One they

835
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,559
got to go to another country that
was cooler than the Soviet Union, and

836
01:00:07,639 --> 01:00:12,599
two they got the fuck They got
black market shit and think and then bring

837
01:00:12,639 --> 01:00:15,960
back to the Soviet Union and cell
Oh that's movies, cigarettes, food,

838
01:00:16,159 --> 01:00:21,440
candy, whatever, or coolest shit
too. You go to get some foreign

839
01:00:21,519 --> 01:00:25,199
weapons like a gun or something neat
like, yeah whatever, Uh so they

840
01:00:25,239 --> 01:00:28,360
go back. I mean it was, it was. It was a great

841
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:35,760
job on a ship ton of different
levels. But even these great jobs have

842
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:43,280
them know an end to had a
price. It turns out that shooting harpoons

843
01:00:43,559 --> 01:00:50,960
at say mother whales and their children, slaughtering dozens of highly sentiment sentient animals

844
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,239
every day, Oh no, I
could take a toll on you, whale

845
01:00:53,239 --> 01:01:00,519
PTSD literally yeah. One former whaler
wrote years later in a Moscow new paper

846
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:08,239
that, uh, five or six
Soviet crewmen died every year on these expeditions,

847
01:01:08,559 --> 01:01:15,519
and at least that many every year
went insane from on the expeditions.

848
01:01:15,239 --> 01:01:21,400
So every expedition you can expect five
or six debts and at least that many

849
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:27,199
people going insane. That is kind
of terrifying having like an insane shipmate and

850
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,199
you guess what, you can't fucking
go anywhere. Yeah, you just got

851
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:34,559
crazy man, Steve just going in
your mate, Yeah, yep, just

852
01:01:34,679 --> 01:01:37,559
up all night. You could hear
him scrawling something into the wall. You

853
01:01:37,599 --> 01:01:39,880
don't know what it is. Kill
him at that point. Fuck, dude,

854
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:44,039
that's got that's gotta be part of
it. Your comrade gets a little

855
01:01:44,039 --> 01:01:47,440
too fat. You're like, who
is that the whale? Yeah right,

856
01:01:47,599 --> 01:01:50,760
yeah, yeah, it's a fat
guy. Like wait, he's on the

857
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,039
whales side, sleeping in the bunks. That's a whale. It would be

858
01:01:53,079 --> 01:01:57,400
funny. I just thought like that. Maately made me picture like the funny

859
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,480
A funny like scenario where they're in
a therapist's office trying to relax and she

860
01:02:01,519 --> 01:02:07,119
just puts on whale noises to get
a reaction. No, Like, she's

861
01:02:07,159 --> 01:02:12,559
like, here, relaxes, play
the sounds of the ocean. But Yeah,

862
01:02:12,599 --> 01:02:15,280
she doesn't even know yet, and
so he just gets a non flashback.

863
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,920
He wakes up, he's peeled her
skin off and his harvesting or blubber,

864
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,960
smoking a cigarette, Yeah, doing
it. Yeah, it's just natural.

865
01:02:22,079 --> 01:02:25,199
Yeah, yeah, it's yeah.
It's like it's like when it's like

866
01:02:25,199 --> 01:02:29,119
when you drive home real drunk and
you're just like, oh, yeah,

867
01:02:29,119 --> 01:02:31,519
I just knew how to get home. So yeah, does that every day?

868
01:02:31,639 --> 01:02:37,760
Every single day? Uh. A
scientist who was on one of the

869
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:44,159
ships on a later voyage at one
point saw a deckhand uh, slip on

870
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:51,840
some blubber and get tangled up in
just some loose whale in testines that were

871
01:02:52,239 --> 01:02:54,639
on the ship. He gets tossed
overboard with all that weight. He got

872
01:02:54,639 --> 01:02:59,360
pulled off the ship, entangled in
the whale and testine, never to be

873
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,480
seen again. Well, they actually
were able to save him, but he

874
01:03:01,519 --> 01:03:08,440
had terrible hypothermia and died shortly after
Davy Jones consumed his soul. Yeah,

875
01:03:08,599 --> 01:03:15,039
damn it. And so and so. If you ever wondered today where save

876
01:03:15,119 --> 01:03:19,960
the Whales started, it kind of
started because of the Soviets. If you

877
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:28,400
ever wondered why seeing a whale is
such a surprising thing instead of a super

878
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:34,239
normal thing, because so essentially what
happened was in the nineteenth century, in

879
01:03:34,239 --> 01:03:37,960
the eighteen hundreds, the whaling industry
was big and it was useful, right,

880
01:03:38,159 --> 01:03:42,719
there was an industrial need for it, and there was not a great

881
01:03:43,079 --> 01:03:45,440
It was the best way to get
the things that we needed that we were

882
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:50,280
getting from the whales. So we
whaled the fuck out of the oceans one

883
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,800
or two. I think we made
extinct a lot. We really hurt the

884
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:58,000
populations of but they were still doing
really well, like they were still doing

885
01:03:58,079 --> 01:04:03,840
overall pretty fucking Welles were Russia and
Japan's buffalo, yes, kind of the

886
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:09,400
whale. Then the Soviets came in
after World War Two and in these large

887
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:14,880
but decreased but still large populations,
just on and with actual not wooden ships,

888
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,880
not you know what, not like
moby dick shit, with actual industrial

889
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:24,960
scale ships and everything, just fucking
mowed them down for decades and took these

890
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:31,960
lowered populations and made them truly endangered
or extinct or very close to functionally extinct

891
01:04:32,039 --> 01:04:35,000
you could say, which means they
exist, but they're definitely not going to

892
01:04:35,039 --> 01:04:41,159
breathe their way out of it.
That is why seeing a whale is impressive.

893
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:47,000
Fuck yeah, indeed, and it's
a big middle finger to communism seeing

894
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,880
a whale. Yeah, post a
picture of a whale to own. We

895
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:54,840
should change the American symbol to a
blue whale, from the ball to eagle

896
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,599
to a whale. Yeah, why
not. It's big, it's mighty.

897
01:04:59,639 --> 01:05:05,360
Only communists can kill it or like
the empire or a nuke. Yeah,

898
01:05:05,599 --> 01:05:09,000
that is all I got for today. What do you what you guys learn?

899
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:17,760
Boy? I didn't realize how prominent
whales were. I thought it was

900
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,119
a rare sight to begin with.
Nope, it's just the world you live

901
01:05:21,159 --> 01:05:26,840
in. It didn't used to be
the fact that they were joking about landing

902
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,480
a helicopter on whales. I'm like, no, they're actually serious when they

903
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:31,960
say that, because there's so many
fucking whal Yeah, they're like, they're

904
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,960
so dude. And then obviously,
you know they were saying that when they

905
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,719
were radio on that back to ship, they would u as maybe someone in

906
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,559
the military would say, they were
just like, yeah, target rich environment.

907
01:05:42,719 --> 01:05:45,280
Yeah. So I think they did, like I think they did our

908
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,800
generation like a service, because back
then you're like, oh, cool,

909
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,480
it's a whale. Who cares it's
like seeing a pigeon. Now you're like,

910
01:05:50,519 --> 01:05:54,519
oh shit, it's a whale.
That's that's like a life changing experience

911
01:05:54,519 --> 01:05:57,880
for people. Now it is made
us appreciate whales. So I guess,

912
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:03,559
good job. Uh. And who
is today's Hitler. I'd say it's the

913
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:12,079
school board administrators for a not outfitting
schools with more water. It's a good

914
01:06:12,119 --> 01:06:14,840
one. Flood ready rooms, yep. Yeah, No, I would say

915
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,440
that people will tell you to stop
it. That gave these orders and was

916
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:23,000
like, I have somebody to answer
to. That's probably the middlemen, middlemen,

917
01:06:23,119 --> 01:06:28,400
the middlemen of Soviet Russia. Yeah, that's Hitler. You just want

918
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,400
to you just want you just don't
want to. The people that didn't want

919
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,880
to be noticed. M Yeah,
they're like, I don't care if this

920
01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:38,920
is a legitimate reason or if it's
insanity. I have somebody to answer to,

921
01:06:39,119 --> 01:06:42,039
and you gotta get this done.
I while you're getting tortured. I

922
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,480
don't want kill it. As many
whales as it takes to keep the guy

923
01:06:45,559 --> 01:06:50,000
above me off my back. If
that's every whale in the fucking ocean,

924
01:06:50,039 --> 01:06:59,199
then it's every whale in the fucking
ocean. Today's Hitler passing the buck fair
