Ed Larson
There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast on the left side stories.
Andrew Zabrowski
That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes. So Tootsie's turning 17.
Ed Larson
Yes. Are you going to come to her birthday party? We're going to throw her a birthday party.
Andrew Zabrowski
We're going for it the only way. I'm going to this birthday party and I floated this to you while we were drunk the other night.
Ed Larson
Yeah, what was it? I forgot.
Andrew Zabrowski
I thought. I still think it holds. We got to get her a stripper.
Ed Larson
You're buying it.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
You got to get it for her.
Andrew Zabrowski
Do you think that if you hired a male stripper for a 17 year old dog and they arrived.
Ed Larson
I want him dressed like a dog.
Andrew Zabrowski
Well, you have little ears on.
Ed Larson
I mean, no, I want a dog suit.
Andrew Zabrowski
No, but we got to see his dick in his balls.
Ed Larson
Well, yeah, when he takes off the dog suit, we'll see his dick because it'll be underneath the dog suit, but that'll be instead of clothes. Either that or a mailman.
Andrew Zabrowski
The only thing about. She'll freak out. She'll freak out.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Maybe she shouldn't see the mailman.
Andrew Zabrowski
I don't think that he's always listening.
Ed Larson
To Rogan real loud when he walks up too.
Andrew Zabrowski
But is it like an issue for a stripper to do a lap dance for a cute little puppy? In terms of a very old Puppy, yes. She's 17. That's technically underage. But it's more like she's like technically 119 years old according to the dog years math.
Ed Larson
All right, what if I get like. What if we get like a hot like Pomeranian? Like a male Pomeranian.
Andrew Zabrowski
Who decides it's hot?
Ed Larson
Me. You. You know, I can tell if one's good looking or not, you know.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, I could be. Yeah, that's definitely a hot one. That's what I would say.
Ed Larson
Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah. But I wanted three or under young tight for Tootsie.
Andrew Zabrowski
I feel like this is the cuz dogs can't.
Ed Larson
And then. And then I want to. And then we shave it. That's how a dog strips.
Andrew Zabrowski
We talked about.
Ed Larson
You shave it and then it's just a pink doggy.
Andrew Zabrowski
I just feel like we need a male in there. I mean in terms of a human. I have a human in there. No, but she see my dick, I'll.
Ed Larson
Tell you that much.
Andrew Zabrowski
I named. I tried, honestly, I tried to be. I try to avoid being nude in front of the dogs.
Ed Larson
Do you really?
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. Cuz it makes me feel weird.
Ed Larson
It is my mother's dog.
Andrew Zabrowski
Because they're so curious.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
You know, whenever I'm nude, I feel like they're looking extra hard.
Ed Larson
Oh, I don't think Tootsie's always staring cross eyed at me.
Andrew Zabrowski
She is looking like everything does sort of look like a ghost. And you think that that would not reflect on the. To the stripper.
Ed Larson
I think the stripper is gonna get. I mean we're gonna pay it.
Andrew Zabrowski
I would love the idea of a stripper showing up dressed as a veterinarian. He has no idea what's going on. Right. And he shows up.
Ed Larson
She doesn't hate the vet. She does shake sometimes at the vet.
Andrew Zabrowski
She doesn't know what the vet is. She just knows she's leaving. It's a thank you, Rob. She doesn't know what the vet is. You know what I mean? It's not the vet. It's more of the scenario. But if she. This might actually help. He comes in and. Yeah, probably he might be a little confused at first. Side stories. Lpotl.com. if you're a male stripper in the Los Angeles area, that would be fine with something like this. Is that what you do is send your rates. Send your rates, please. Is that. Yeah, they'd show up to the party and there'd be a bit of confusion, but then like they'd see us all in a circle. Because what I would like to do is put Tootsie in a chair in the center of the living room. Kind of like what you do.
Ed Larson
Yeah. She. There is a chair she likes to sit on, too.
Andrew Zabrowski
And then we have it come in there. We have him come in and we play like, this is how you do.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
And then he takes off all of his clothes for. I mean, technically, we'll be watching as well, but then he just got it. He has to be fine with giving Tootsie a block dance, but. Doesn't have to be sexual. You're not touching her little. Her little chuch or anything.
Ed Larson
I don't think he's taking his dick out at all. Male strippers, do they take their dick out? I don't think they do.
Andrew Zabrowski
I think you pay money.
Ed Larson
I think they keep it in their pants. Then they kind of like, open the top and like, hey, check it out. Look what's in there.
Andrew Zabrowski
Who would be confused?
Ed Larson
I think it's more like, look what I got. Look at.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's not just like, look. Oh, God, what do I have?
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Like, it's that.
Ed Larson
Oh, no.
Andrew Zabrowski
Is there something wrong with mine? Can you see, ma'am?
Ed Larson
Just a dildo sticking out of a vagina.
Andrew Zabrowski
Crazy, right? Crazy, right? You had no idea. Pretty cool, right?
Ed Larson
You're paying me to strip in front of a dog. Hi.
Andrew Zabrowski
Welcome to some side stores. My name is Andrew Zabrowski. I'm sitting here with Ed Larson.
Ed Larson
Yeah. If you. What else should we get for Tootsie's 17th birthday party?
Andrew Zabrowski
I want Jungle Juice.
Ed Larson
Jungle Juice.
Andrew Zabrowski
Old fashioned, man. Make it in the hot tub.
Ed Larson
Wow.
Andrew Zabrowski
I will say just straight up, right before we get into it, we were a little off with our election prediction.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
And so, yeah, we're fine. Obviously. We're just, you know, kind of just reorganizing and still. Still be my Jill Stein. Yeah. Jillian Stein, please. But I will say, due to the changes that we have up, I do think that it was really important for us, and I think it's important for you guys to do this too at home, is that I sat Natalie down right as she loves this.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
I sat her down and I said, now that the rights for you have reverted to me, I release you.
Ed Larson
You did that.
Andrew Zabrowski
And I think that's important for every husband to do to each one of. If you have a wife out there.
Ed Larson
I have a wife.
Andrew Zabrowski
Release her. Do you want. Do you really want control over you?
Ed Larson
I mean, the two Utes. The.
Andrew Zabrowski
My cousin Vinny.
Ed Larson
Yeah, that's right. No, I haven't released Julie yet. We haven't talked about it.
Andrew Zabrowski
Well, she's gonna have to negotiate for her release.
Ed Larson
I. At least I Think she should make a case for why she should be free.
Andrew Zabrowski
This is some husbands.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
I just did it ahead of time. I just knocked it out knowing that she's gonna kill me.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
I think Julie's not gonna kill you. When the revolution comes, she's very strong. She could kill you, probably. Especially if you're asleep, because you sleep so deep she'll beat you to death with a hammer.
Ed Larson
I'm a big guy and, you know, Julie's, you know, she's strong as hell.
Andrew Zabrowski
Super strong.
Ed Larson
And I.
Andrew Zabrowski
But she doesn't like violence.
Ed Larson
I think she doesn't like violence.
Andrew Zabrowski
But when the revolution comes, when that blood wave of period comes to kill and wipe away us all. All men. Yeah, she just sort of. She would get into it.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
She'd fall in the line.
Ed Larson
I think she would win the fight if we've ever fought because she'd have.
Andrew Zabrowski
Something to fight for. And you're still just. You just like. You're just awesome because you're a guy.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And she exercises. Yeah, there is that.
Andrew Zabrowski
She could beat you with stamina.
Ed Larson
She's got endurance.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, she can beat you with stamina.
Ed Larson
She's strong, you know.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes, I've seen her. She got good length.
Ed Larson
Yeah. In terms of, like, can lift some. Oh, yeah. Good reach.
Andrew Zabrowski
You keep. Pop, pop and stick. She could pop a stick.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Mike, How Jake Paul has to do the Mike Tyson.
Ed Larson
I was going to. Yeah, we were. I did. You didn't want to talk about it, But I'm curious. Where do you think is going to happen with the. You were wrong about the election. Are you? Who do you think.
Andrew Zabrowski
Sorry, I just had a. Almost a seizure. Wrong about the election. I just bought it.
Ed Larson
You were wrong.
Andrew Zabrowski
I was about it. I bought into the propaganda. Yeah, they bought into the propaganda because I wanted it, because it felt nice. But it was another mirage of horseshit fed to us by a bunch of people who technically should. Every single one of them should be fired from.
Ed Larson
Also wrong about who you wanted to win. But the. What I want to talk about now.
Andrew Zabrowski
Is I campaign for Jillian Stein every day in my backyard.
Ed Larson
Do you think Tyson's going to beat Paul? I'm worried it's going to be during our show. It's serious.
Andrew Zabrowski
Oh, very much so, yeah.
Ed Larson
So I literally.
Andrew Zabrowski
If you're in the Los Angeles area, just know Sirius XM down at the garage. We have a live show. We're doing a live taping of the last update on the left there.
Ed Larson
That's right.
Andrew Zabrowski
I don't know if we've advertised this.
Ed Larson
I don't know but hopefully I'm sure people will show up but it's during.
Andrew Zabrowski
The Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight so.
Ed Larson
Maybe no one will show up.
Andrew Zabrowski
No one might come because I think.
Ed Larson
Everyone in the world's going to be watching this.
Andrew Zabrowski
Everybody's a. I guess, I guess.
Ed Larson
Who do you think is going to win? I want to hear your.
Andrew Zabrowski
Not us.
Ed Larson
Not.
Andrew Zabrowski
Not the American people. No, no. We lose. We lose across the board.
Ed Larson
I love this is like, like I know as big as the election and some to most people.
Andrew Zabrowski
Absolutely. And I again it's. It's just sadly going to purely sully the pure and perfect world of the boxing industry.
Ed Larson
Oh yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
And I can't believe that anyone could possibly corrupt it's breathing the little bit.
Ed Larson
Of life back into it. I know no one gives a fuck about boxing.
Andrew Zabrowski
Honestly I think that what I've read a little bit with just like Mike Tyson does look absolutely frightening in his pre training. He's doing a lot of training. He does have heart issues. He is a six year old man. Jake Paul is 27 years old, 29 I believe. Whatever. Fucking all the same it's whatever he did. I hope he's older than. He's closer to death. Jake Paul is like literally like he's fully trained at the top of his powers in order to do something like this. If they had met at the same age Mike Tyson would literally turn him to a red mist. But the fact that he is not shows that Jake Paul definitely has a shot. If it lasts longer than around Mike Tyson's gonna lose.
Ed Larson
I love Mike Tyson is so funny in every interview he's just like I'm just scared of who I am.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's the way he talks about I'm.
Ed Larson
An animal and I shouldn't be outside.
Andrew Zabrowski
I love Mike Tyson in the fact that he's. He's a horrible monster. Right. But there are things that he says when he's just like I just wish the people knew that the rage inside of me it just takes over and I can't make these decisions. And like people ask him like so like what are you going to do when you get in the ring? I do not know. I become a chaos demon. I become Death himself. And you're just like damn Mike, maybe not, you know, like maybe you don't got to dude. Maybe it's one or the other, you.
Ed Larson
Know it's the day I could barely.
Andrew Zabrowski
Contain my violence is Jake Paul.
Ed Larson
People hate him so much that we all want him to lose a fight. To a convicted rapist.
Andrew Zabrowski
Very much so. Nothing would make me happier. No one would.
Ed Larson
No one is rooting for him.
Andrew Zabrowski
Nothing would make this convicted rapist. Nothing made me happier than watching this convicted rapist paralyze Jake Paul. That would make me extremely happy. It would show that maybe there is something fair in this life. But no, Mike Tyson's going to throw it. As soon as they get to any form of real conflict, he's going to fall.
Ed Larson
I don't know if he's capable of throwing a fight.
Andrew Zabrowski
I don't know. I don't know. They're already kind of saying, we talked about this as we were driving in today. They legitimately might even pull the fight because of insurance issues.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Mike Tyson's been having heart troubles.
Ed Larson
They're worried he's going to die in the ring.
Andrew Zabrowski
I think that, weirdly, Mike Tyson wants it that way.
Ed Larson
Oh, he should die in the ring.
Andrew Zabrowski
And so. But if he's going to die in the ring, you better do it mash in the face of that piece of. Hopefully he leaves as much of a mark on this piece of fucking shit as much as you get. But I will say, you did, Eddie. You did, sort of.
Ed Larson
I've been watching the doc.
Andrew Zabrowski
You push me. You push back a little bit about the idea that, like, technically, it's probably good Jake Paul got into boxing and working out because it got him sober. Yes. Which is probably a good message for young men. But he's not.
Ed Larson
He's not a complete. You don't have to like him.
Andrew Zabrowski
No.
Ed Larson
But in order to get where he is, you have to have some kind of brain whatsoever. I will say, watching him train, though, he just seems slow.
Andrew Zabrowski
He's extremely slow.
Ed Larson
And so I just think Tyson's a lot faster than he is.
Andrew Zabrowski
If he was a real boxer, he would have been a boxer. You know what I mean?
Ed Larson
He has won some legitimate fights, though.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. Because now he can. Because he's literally just dumping millions of dollars into training every inch of his body. But if he was a boxer, you would have been one. Yeah. Instead of whatever he was, you got.
Ed Larson
To start training to be a boxer at, like, 13.
Andrew Zabrowski
You should be getting punched in the face at 9.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
If you really want to be a.
Ed Larson
Boxer, that's what you do, man. I love whenever people talk about, like, Tyson's history, and it's like, it's always like, I was on the streets of Brownsville and someone took one of my pigeons, ripped their head off. And that was the first time I ever beat a man next to Death.
Andrew Zabrowski
I knew what violence was and what.
Ed Larson
I had to do.
Andrew Zabrowski
Why did they make me be this way? Why does everyone drive me to be a killer? And it's like, you know, like, dude, you just. You're like this. I will say, well, you know, let me backtrack a little bit, because I know a lot of people that do train for boxing later on in life, and it is great. I'm getting back on a weight.
Ed Larson
No, it's good to be healthy.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's good to be healthy. It's just knowing that, you know, it's. What are we doing it for? Jake Paul is doing it just because he could have chosen to go into any profession with the amount of money that he had. He could have done literally anything. And he chose this, which I do think is.
Ed Larson
People hate him.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes. But I do think it's poor to.
Ed Larson
Enter a place like an environment like boxing.
Andrew Zabrowski
Did a lot of stuff. He could done one. My big dream is to go be the number one caterer of North Korea. If I could get into Korea.
Ed Larson
Have you ever cooked children?
Andrew Zabrowski
What? No, no, no, no. What I would bring to them. Collard greens.
Ed Larson
Whoa.
Andrew Zabrowski
I'd bring them ham hock. I bring them some mashed taters.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Pepsi pie. I'd go down there with my big old Pepsi pie, because I guess Pepsi pie. I mean, I'd be in full blackface. But that's why I'd be in North Korea, is to show them, because I feel like that way, they'd let me do it, you know, like, if I showed up to be the number one caterer of North Korea. But I did it all in the character of old Mr. Johnson. Yeah, right. Maybe they'll let me do it.
Ed Larson
They may be. Maybe they'll like you. That's for damn sure.
Andrew Zabrowski
I don't know if they will, but they'll take me.
Ed Larson
You're charismatic.
Andrew Zabrowski
The.
Ed Larson
The other thing I'm watching on Netflix, other than the Mike Tyson fight, is investigation aliens.
Andrew Zabrowski
See, this is how we get these fucks. Yeah, right.
Ed Larson
I started.
Andrew Zabrowski
No, he. It's not. He chose out of his own energy.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Andrew Zabrowski
To put on an alien documentary. If that does not show the power that this show has, I mean, I don't know what does.
Ed Larson
Yeah, no, I. Well, I want to. You know, I mean, it's your job. It's my job, and I need to understand what the. You're talking about a lot of the times. And there's some interesting in there. See the cattle mutilation?
Andrew Zabrowski
Well, the cattle mu. Are. That's a mat. There was a. This is really happening.
Ed Larson
Sucking them up into a ship, cutting off their tits in their. And their dicks and. And then they're in their noses and their ears and they're emptying with blood and they're putting them back. No footsteps.
Andrew Zabrowski
I think that it's. It's what they're doing. It's cattle mutilations. We don't quite know that's one of.
Ed Larson
The mutilation that's like sucking out blood. They know what they're doing is they're taking it and they're making meat back where they are. Because burgers are great. I mean, like cheeseburgers for aliens is words. How we're going to fucking make peace. Cheeseburgers for peace is something I've been saying for fucking years.
Andrew Zabrowski
He has been, you know, like.
Ed Larson
And it's like in these fucking. These guys, they got cows, so they got cheese and they got burgers.
Andrew Zabrowski
Oh, they got it all.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And they're out there in the fucking galactic introverses, fucking sharing burgers together.
Andrew Zabrowski
See, the main thing is beautiful. I. I'm not quite certain about how physical in nature a lot of the UFO phenomena is. I think it's pretty much straight down the middle, half psychic, half physical. What's ever happening with the cattle mutilations? The reason why they're interesting is the way, like, you know, we've covered this on the show before, but normally, just so you guys, you know, there was a rash of these again, there was like probably 15, 20 of them last year during the summertime up in the Pacific Northwest. All of this was happening in Oregon and Washington where these. The cattle get sucked up. They get surgical, what they call surgical or laser. A lot of them called laser.
Ed Larson
They say scalpel, but they also say it's burns and it's very.
Andrew Zabrowski
Like a laser scalpel.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
And that it's specific parts of the cow. It's like the ears, the nose, the mouth, anything hanging off. And honestly, specifically the dick and balls and they. And the others, they get sucked off.
Ed Larson
Do you think. Are they taking the vaginas?
Andrew Zabrowski
I don't know.
Ed Larson
We gotta call George. Where's your snap?
Andrew Zabrowski
We need to get his number on. I want to be able to call him live while we're recording. I want to get his cell phone number so that we can just randomly call him every once in a while while we're talking to get into it. But a lot of people were. Obviously, there's pushback. Main pushback is saying that it's predators eating them. Very specifically but there'll be blood and.
Ed Larson
There'Ll be teeth marks.
Andrew Zabrowski
They. It is true. A lot of these cattle appear dessanguinated, which means that they have the blood taken out of them.
Ed Larson
I love how you knew. I didn't know what that word meant.
Andrew Zabrowski
Out of him. They were left in a field and oftentimes they are then unperturbed by other predators. Which is the most serious.
Ed Larson
The scavengers ain't touching them.
Andrew Zabrowski
It is very mysterious. They literally are left there. The corpses of these cattles are left.
Ed Larson
There to melt until they become bones.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes. And that they don't get eaten and.
Ed Larson
The bones don't get eaten.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's very. That is what makes it specifically interesting. There's a lot of people, if you listen to. If you watch Investigation Aliens, there's a lot of farmers that think it's other humans doing this. But I don't really know what they get.
Ed Larson
It would be impossible because there's no fucking trail. There's no. There's no footsteps and there's no. There's no blood.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes. Cattle mule Blood would be everywhere.
Ed Larson
Blood would be everywhere.
Andrew Zabrowski
And the one part, one thing that he talked about was interesting when he was talking with the farmers. George Knapp was on the first episode talking about the idea that there was these weird crop circly style things popping up as the mutilations would happen. And then they said that afterwards they would. Nothing would really grow in the areas where the little like crop circles happen. And they didn't look like.
Ed Larson
Well, no, it grew back better. They said.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, some of them did. Yeah. It was like this weird thing. It had a weird phenomenon inside of these circles.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
But it's a. I, I don't know. I think that there is a lot of mysterious stuff. I think that when they do imagine there's a world where one strain of the UFO phenomenon is a physical alien that is here that does not operate on the same rules as our galaxies and our. On our. Literally our galaxy and definitely our society. And that what they do is what they view as research. Like what if they're looking at us through a prism of their world? So there's things that they don't understand about what we do, why we do them and what our things are. And that instead of a direct, oh, we're experimenting on these cattle. That's why we're doing. It's just that's their version of either like that's what appears to us after they're done with whatever the hell it is that they're doing this is all saying that this is true.
Ed Larson
Why is it only cows and not horses and stuff?
Andrew Zabrowski
Don't know.
Ed Larson
Why is they're not taking dogs and I'm taking pigs.
Andrew Zabrowski
No, it's very interesting. We don't.
Ed Larson
They're not finding people like this either.
Andrew Zabrowski
They do.
Ed Larson
Not with no dicks and no blood in their bodies.
Andrew Zabrowski
I mean, not in this economy. But later on, like, you can find out. It's more. They get scooped. People get scoop marks taken out. They get implants putting in. They get. People have had their babies sucked out of them, they said, or they showed up miraculously pregnant and they got babies kind of removed from them. Good thing that happens. They get their titties suck. They get their buttholes reamed.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Andrew Zabrowski
Quite often. A lot of times they'll have a filament shoved up their penis through your urethra to make them come. And they get super hard to the point where it hurts, and they come against their will.
Ed Larson
Do you find that to be assault?
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
Well, isn't it science if an alien's doing it?
Andrew Zabrowski
Well, ask the 43 macaques that fucking escaped from the research facility that we just talked about. These fucking monkeys. I have the same thing.
Ed Larson
Before we get into the monkeys, I have more questions from Alien investigation. Alien, sure. There was a battle in Brazil.
Andrew Zabrowski
Well, the Caloris UFO flap that happened.
Ed Larson
In the ocean and started shooting people with laser beams.
Andrew Zabrowski
They did. They do have USOs. This is a very specific style of UFO that we don't really see in any other country besides Brazil, which is the aggressive ufo.
Ed Larson
They're saying they're in the fucking Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of California as well.
Andrew Zabrowski
Oh, yeah, that's where we see them pop up. But they don't zap us. They only zap the South Americans. We cover this in The. The dangerous UFOs of Brazil episode that we did in 2020. But they talked a lot of this. A. It's an aggressive form of UFO phenomena that attacks people. And we don't know why it is specifically only to Brazil, but there has been lots and lots of stories. It does remind one of these stories of the fairy folk and the very. And the people that take like. And would steal people and move. Because, like, there was the famous story of someone that got pulled up by one of these and dropped and then another one got zapped by one of them. And then we got gassed by one of them.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And so if. If this is happening and they're in the water, are we going to look for them, or we just. There's no funding for that. Like, are there submarines? Like, looking for the.
Andrew Zabrowski
There's a.
Ed Larson
Much underground.
Andrew Zabrowski
I don't think you understand, Eddie, what's going on in our country right now and how we can't focus on this story is because. Do you know that they're turning little boys into girls in kindergarten?
Ed Larson
In kindergarten?
Andrew Zabrowski
On purpose?
Ed Larson
Well, yes.
Andrew Zabrowski
Girl boys go into kindergarten. They do surgery on their little penises, and they turn them into innies. They turn them into pussies.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Andrew Zabrowski
All right, so that they go vote for Kamala. And that's what we have to work on right now versus your petty little. Oh, there's UFOs in the ocean. And what.
Ed Larson
I'm just curious. What do we want to know? Do we know? Do you think we actually know?
Andrew Zabrowski
I actually think that what we're seeing is the main issue is that the uso. The Unidentified Submerged Object.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Not. Not the. The USO that I know.
Andrew Zabrowski
And no, no, no. Not the real one is that the USOs are. Where we think this comes from. There is a. If there is a physical version of the UFO phenomena that is based on the planet Earth. So let's say that's another stripe of it, I believe, with the phenomena, that it's all of it. Right. Let's just say you could say all. It could be any of it. And so one of the theories is that there is a base on Earth that shoots these things out, and one of them says it's like in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, essentially, in that they pop up, which is what we see. There was a recent piece of footage that I want to say was on one of the Investigate Aliens episodes I haven't gotten to yet, where you see this amorphous blob that looks sort of like a physical flare leave the water. It pops up out of the water, hovers, and goes back in and plays around with it like it's a dolphin. Very interesting.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
And there's a lot of people talk about these coming up from the top. Yeah. 80% of the oceans remain unexplored. Of course, we don't know. Yeah. It's most of the world, but that is the kind of the.
Ed Larson
Can we stop looking at the Titanic for two seconds?

Andrew Zabrowski
I hated Avatar 2. I hated it so much.
Ed Larson
Would you think it's Avatar? Can we say that yet?

Ed Larson
And you're just this week only.
Andrew Zabrowski
And we had to make sure his wife showed up. We had to call her in. She was in Ohio.
Ed Larson
Yeah. You know it's good is because he won there won't be any insurrectal dysfunction. Insurrectile dysfunction. Does that pun work as a going after the capitol building? Insurrectile dysfunction, Eddie.
Andrew Zabrowski
I'm so tired. I couldn't care less.

Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, I could.
Ed Larson
If you think that's a good pun, I want you to write in at brighter side. The brighter side. LPN gmail.com.
Andrew Zabrowski
So this is a story about freedom.
Ed Larson
Amen baby.
Andrew Zabrowski
And the thing is is that yeah, people are upset now, but you're going to be upset a lot. Monkey see, monkey go baby out there. Dog. This is in South Carolina, that state.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
They warn residents to lock their doors and windows after more than 40 monkeys escape from a research fac. Now these guys are out there, they're just gone. There's some tick tock videos of these monkeys out there. They left. They are specifically were brought in. This is also one of these weird things that kind of make me sick is because obviously they got to try to find these guys because they're going to be biting people. But they're goofies. They're young, they're cute.
Ed Larson
They're cute young ones and they're like.
Andrew Zabrowski
6, 7 pounds and they're extremely social and they're supposed to be very friendly. And the whole point of them, I guess they said the reason why they even brought them into be tested upon is it was for. It was for non human primate products and Bioresearch services. Yeah, the Alpha Genesis disorders. That's what they said they were going to be working on.
Ed Larson
Alpha Genesis Incorporated. I'm on their website right now. They're primate research specialists. Yeah, look at that. Oh wow.
Andrew Zabrowski
Look at that. And they said the the U.S. centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed in a statement that the monkeys were previously living on Morgan island as free range monkeys. So just living their life, having a nice time and they were brought to the Alpha Genes facility which is sounds really friendly and fun.
Ed Larson
Alpha Genesis Incorporated provides the highest quality non human product primate products and bioresearch services worldwide.
Andrew Zabrowski
What does that even mean? Is that like giving them like hats and shoes and clothes?
Ed Larson
I have no idea. With a client base that extends across North America, Europe and Asia, we are dedicated to providing only the best and most cost effective primate research and development support to the scientific community.
Andrew Zabrowski
You know what I don't like in there? The word cost effective. Seems like that. I feel like if I was a monkey I wouldn't want to hear that. Maybe we should certain cutting costs. They said they were supposed to be there to be conditioned, to be around people. Oh. So they got exactly what they wanted. There's now 13 still at large. And these monkeys, they're cute as hell. And Rob did bring up a thing right before is that I will find it interesting to see if there are any cryptid reports from here on out from the forests of South Carolina. Because these macaques are out there causing a lot of, you know, causing a kerfuffle. And people are going to go look and they're going to see a little monkey on there. You got a couple of shots of Ripple and you, you're going to turn into a bigfoot.
Ed Larson
Yeah, I don't know if they're going to make it through the winter though. You know it gets cold in South Carolina.
Andrew Zabrowski
No, they'll die by suicide.
Ed Larson
There's a bunch of monkeys that got loose in Davey Florida. And you see people in Florida have seen them a couple times. A couple of my friends where they saw him, I've never seen him. But the rumor is how they got loose was. Well there were two incidents. Hurricane Andrew destroy monkey jungle. And then also they, when they were filming. This is a rumor. I don't know how true this is but I, I love spreading it is when they were filming Tarzan in the 50s they at the end of the movie they just let all the monkeys go tracks. I believe that.
Andrew Zabrowski
I more than believe that. I think that if, if I, if you were a real ally right now what I do is if you see one of these mas by the highway, drive them down to Florida. Florida.
Ed Larson
It's. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. Just drive them down to Florida man. Just drop, just drop them out man. Just like. Like just let them go that because. Because guess who deserves it. Florida. Go drop off all of these monkeys.
Ed Larson
Anything lives down there.
Andrew Zabrowski
Everything lives.
Ed Larson
That's why all your grandparents are there because they're trying to live.
Andrew Zabrowski
They're for some reason. Yeah. So just know that we're all going down there. Just send all the macaques down there. Let them go like there's no reason for them to not.
Ed Larson
You gotta feed the python something.
Andrew Zabrowski
They gotta enjoy Miami me.
Ed Larson
That's right.
Andrew Zabrowski
All right. Let him go out there. They're cute as hell if you get one. Yeah. A couple of them. And I'm going to just say this like we. A little bit of an update in the story of Peanut the squirrel is that I did get an insider information from somebody that doesn't want to be revealed that said that essentially they didn't have a bunch of permits and they needed to have which just kind of led to the. It wasn't the only fans Karen thing necessarily that just a side quest for him. They definitely needed more permits for that. But. But you know like I, I as much as it's against every single regulation scoop up that mak take it home because it's 2024 and the rules don't matter.
Ed Larson
Yeah man. Free this. You don't want to go back to goddamn.
Andrew Zabrowski
I mean they're going to bite the living out of you and they're going to eat one of your kids face or bite one of their ears off. But what do you care?
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
You know because you like the chaos. Just get the cappuccin put in your else.
Ed Larson
I can't believe that they have a place called Alpha Genesis Incorporated in South Carolina. My. My vet father in law veterinarian said that there has never been a squirrel with rabies.
Andrew Zabrowski
This is what I was reading about too. They said that apparently it is not I guess impossible for a squirrel to get rabies. Maybe. But there's very little of it.
Ed Larson
Yeah. He said he's never even heard of it all his years.
Andrew Zabrowski
I wonder why.
Ed Larson
Because they're quick.
Andrew Zabrowski
Well I mean a lot of things are quick.
Ed Larson
Also if you're curious about jobs at Alpha Genesis Incorporated they're. I'm looking at their job opportunities. They're currently hiring a new animal care manager. I wonder why.
Andrew Zabrowski
I wonder why.
Ed Larson
I wonder why. Yeah. Wow.
Andrew Zabrowski
You see here right here. Apparently squirt they still they can get raped rabies. But it's very rare. Very very rare. You got to be careful with that.
Ed Larson
So, I mean, I don't think these monkeys.
Andrew Zabrowski
They're. They're. They're.
Ed Larson
I can't just let them be free.
Andrew Zabrowski
They are going to be now. You got to go get them. I don't know what they do to these poor guys. But then I did read. Read about too. Is that to get. That is also what's really sad about rabies testing is they do have to kill the animal to do it. Because it's only brain tissue issue. Yeah.
Ed Larson
No, they have to find. They have to. They. But why? How come they don't have to kill us to find out if we have rabies?
Andrew Zabrowski
Because we're going.
Ed Larson
Well, apparently once you're already doing that, you're dead.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes. I mean, no one has survived rabies.
Ed Larson
Yeah, you can't. Once you show signs of rabies, you're dead.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Which is cool disease.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's kind of metal.
Ed Larson
Did you see how they used to give you rabies shots?
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. Super long.
Ed Larson
Long right in your stomach.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. Very bad.
Ed Larson
Like a long needle right in your stomach. That's how you did it.
Andrew Zabrowski
My mom had to get one. They were horrible. Really? Yes.
Ed Larson
Why did she get one?
Andrew Zabrowski
She got bit by a do dog as a kid.
Ed Larson
Oh, okay. I was gonna say she bit by her father.
Andrew Zabrowski
He was just a boomer. Can't be upset with him. Now this is another talk about being upset with the father. This is a story in this day and age I find extremely inspiring. And this guy gets it. Ryan Borgward. The.
Ed Larson
What's that?
Andrew Zabrowski
Missing father of three faked his disappearance in a kayak accident and he fled to Europe.
Ed Larson
Oh, yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
This guy is awesome.
Ed Larson
I had no idea Uzbekistan was in Europe.
Andrew Zabrowski
You know what? I didn't either. We learned stuff every day. We learned stuff every day on the show. So this was on August 12, around 5:32 local time. Deputies initially responded to a missing person's call. They went looking for this guy, Ryan Borgwart. Yeah. And they went to go. His vehicle and trailer were found later parked in the area of Dodge Memorial park. And his last known location was the green lake.
Ed Larson
Certainly dodging his family.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, dude, Miss me with that. And I mean, having responsibilities. Around an hour after the alarm was first raised, authorities found a capsized kayak in the western part of the lake in an area where the water is around 220ft deep. It was that easy. They found his. The fisherman found his fishing rod. His tackle box was found. He found his wallet, his keys, and then they were like, well, he must be dead. Right. During the news conference they realized that on August 24, a team of experienced divers and search dogs were brought in to help look for Barn wart. He has three kids and they could not find anything. But on August 7, Sheriff Podall said he met with his team and they decided the search had to go in a different direction. They were trying to go find the different areas and now they're pretty certain that he is gone because his report. Because that was the thing they delve further. Borgwart had reported his passport missing and obtained a replacement on May 22nd before all of this happened.
Ed Larson
Okay, so I mean, but in May 22 to August isn't it's not closed?
Andrew Zabrowski
Oh yes. Oh yes.
Ed Larson
I feel like that's, you know, some of this stuff. I mean like he could be at the bottom of this lake, but he was communicating with a woman in Uzbekistan ahead of his vanishing. And he taken out a $375,000 life insurance policy in January.
Andrew Zabrowski
That's what the thing is that it got paid out and then he left town. Well, he left out or somehow he got this money or I think it.
Ed Larson
Was for his family.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
Yeah. So they have something when he leaves.
Andrew Zabrowski
I guess he just went. Decided to go be with this Uzbekistan woman. But she's just got to be. She's just got a tight ass karsh and she knows how to suck that clash.
Ed Larson
Don't they always want to come here? Isn't it the whole thing?
Andrew Zabrowski
You know what happens a lot of times is that what he'll do is he'll lie to the woman saying I'm gonna bring you to America once I get over there to kind of help you and do stuff. And then he gets over there and he goes, well, if I'm hiding from my family, yeah. And then he has a bunch of American money and it's fine.
Ed Larson
Oh, interesting. I've heard that Uzbekistan is surprisingly, well, welcoming.
Andrew Zabrowski
Really?
Ed Larson
Yeah, like if you go over there, like you'll be walking around and people like come over for dinner. It's a, it's kind of like that.
Andrew Zabrowski
Really?
Ed Larson
Yeah, families like welcome you into their houses and stuff.
Andrew Zabrowski
Sounds lovely.
Ed Larson
That's what I've heard. I don't know if it's true or.
Andrew Zabrowski
Not, but I've never been to. I can't even. I don't to be honest, I'm looking at even on this map that you're showing and I don't know where that is.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Is that the bottom of Europe, People magazine?
Andrew Zabrowski
Or is that in the Middle East? Is that Europe or the Middle East. Oh my God, we're stupid.
Ed Larson
It's Asia. No, it's Europe.
Andrew Zabrowski
You're so fucking stupid. Yeah, the two of us are the dumbest fucks.
Ed Larson
I'm sorry I haven't learned about Uzbekistan.
Andrew Zabrowski
None of us know it's you and me. It's not just you, buddy. I don't know a thing about maps. Yeah, I don't know where stuff is. Then I don't care.
Ed Larson
There you go. That's what I've been waiting for. That's what I wanted.
Andrew Zabrowski
You know why if I need to know.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Look at up.
Ed Larson
I'm gonna go to the bathroom and take a twos. Becca stand.
Andrew Zabrowski
That's it.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Hell yeah.
Ed Larson
That's a. The sheriff is pleading says, Ryan, if you're viewing this, I plead with you, contact us or contact your family.
Andrew Zabrowski
While he's sitting there enjoying his camel milk, being like, I'm not going back to America. I got it all here. I got nothing but aluminum foil mines and. And delicious snars. And then I get sit here with my beautiful one eyed wife that got saved from whatever local skirmish is going on.
Ed Larson
I think that they're beautiful over there.
Andrew Zabrowski
I sure. I hope good. I know they are.
Ed Larson
Yeah. So this guy, you know, someone who gets it at least.
Andrew Zabrowski
I want to do this guy's plan. He also lazily faked his own death.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
If he did, now they're like, he could end up dead.
Ed Larson
He was on a kayak. He was exercising.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. But he just like flipped it over and he says oopsie, he got out of there.
Ed Larson
I mean, seems like he did a lot of work.
Andrew Zabrowski
If he. No, he didn't. If he did do a lot of work, what he would have done is taken what we've done. We talked about this with the Kruger's dorp cult. They did a lot of work. He would take a man of another race. He would strip as much skin off of his face that he could. He would set him on fire inside of the kayak and then push it over the side. Side. That's what you do. There's no corpse. What needs is. What we need here is a corpse.
Ed Larson
What if this is like an Elaborate advertisement for Kayak.com Travel Agency?
Andrew Zabrowski
Hey, you know, take a trip all the way from your family. Like that would be big. Honestly, that'd be huge for kayaks. What a good way to just like. Like a kayak is a key to not be a father anymore.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Side me up.
Ed Larson
So my favorite story this week is a labradoodle has helped solve its owner's murder.
Andrew Zabrowski
That's what it said. Its owner's murder. I thought it said labradoodle help solve its own murder. No, no, no, no, no. What in the living is this article about? Like what does that even mean?
Ed Larson
Yeah. Texas woman Mandy Rose Reynolds was murdered by a very bad man, prosecutors say. But her very good dog helped her cat catch the killer.
Andrew Zabrowski
How'd he do it?
Ed Larson
The dog, a labradoodle named Titan, was found at the site in Robinson, Texas where Reynolds body was found. Burned beyond recognition in April of last year. The dog barked frantically at officers and refused to leave the area of the body, but also refused to allow police to capture it. The citizen found the dog at the same spot the next day. Called animal control who were who determined that Titan was micro tripped and belonged to Reynolds. Police went to Reynolds home and discovered that all of the 26 year old's possessions had been removed. They tracked her Honda Accord to Wichita, Kansas where her cousin, 29 year old Derek Dagenault, who knows was arrested after a high speed chase. Investigators determined that he shot Reynolds before burning her body in a plastic container. He was sentenced to life in prison last week. In the keys of this case with a heroic dog named Titan and extraordinarily cooperation between law enforcement agencies in multiple jurisdictions and states. The jury deliberated for around 40 minutes before sentencing him to life. After the trial C said that Dagonaut did to Reynolds, shooting her in the head and driving her body to McLennan county and setting her on fire like a piece of trash was enough to justify the life sentence.
Andrew Zabrowski
Dude, it's Scooby Doo.
Ed Larson
I know. And labradoodles are supposed to be stupid.
Andrew Zabrowski
And labradoodles are actually bad for dogs too. They're bad because of the genetic manipulation that they, that they've had over all of these.
Ed Larson
The man who invented labradoodle says he regrets it.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, sure, whatever.
Ed Larson
But at the same time, they're cute.
Andrew Zabrowski
They are.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And they're, you know, hyperallergenic.
Andrew Zabrowski
Well, this is the thing.
Ed Larson
So, you know, people want a big dog, but they don't want a poodle. What do you do?
Andrew Zabrowski
I don't know.
Ed Larson
Labradoodle.
Andrew Zabrowski
Labradoodle. But you go. So the dog refused to be captured and then just took them back to the victim's home.
Ed Larson
It just kept going to where the body was burned because apparently, I guess.
Andrew Zabrowski
It saw it traumatized.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And so it kept going to the place where they found the body. And then they found out when they chipped the dog, that it was hers, and then when they went to her apartment, she was missing. And then they put two and two together.
Andrew Zabrowski
That's what it is. They couldn't identify the body.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Andrew Zabrowski
So the dog identified the body. The dog. Well, the dog didn't solve the crime.
Ed Larson
But, no, the dog was a witness. And then he told everybody. Yeah, the dog, Titan, was a good boy.
Andrew Zabrowski
That was a good boy. And so he's been sent to be destroyed or.
Ed Larson
Actually, I think he's going to be stripping for Tootsie this week.
Andrew Zabrowski
Whoa. Yes. We got to get him.
Ed Larson
We're going to shave him and jerk him off in front of my little girl.
Andrew Zabrowski
Tootsie, Come on, let Tootsie have a thrill. You think Tootsie gets horny anymore?
Ed Larson
I don't think so. But sometimes she, like, gets randy with Rambo a little bit and then, like, jumps on him and like, kind of attacks him a little bit.
Andrew Zabrowski
That's disgusting.
Ed Larson
And he just sits there and he's like, what is this?
Andrew Zabrowski
That's her brother.
Ed Larson

Off@Texaspete.Com I've been talking about this for years. It is now it is getting Jackie technically started it on page seven but it continues to go and now it is. It's out there man. Tom Cruise has Sex with whole uncut fish. And I would not be surprised. I know everybody's been joking.
Ed Larson
I mean they're gutted.
Andrew Zabrowski
Well he. Their bellies.
Ed Larson
Yeah, but they're. They, they're gutted.
Andrew Zabrowski
He buys them at. Yeah, they got holes in them to be. And so he does this and a part of the like it's everywhere now. It's now out on the Internet. It's funny now because I, I've been saying it for fun in games and it's fun to do this to. Towards a mega celebrity who can't really even fight all the various whack a mole things that are said about them at all times.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
But with the P D stuff I actually kind of even wonder if this is kind of some of the stuff he has. Cuz they talk about what he has on all of these various hard drives. He has all this, this dirt on everybody. So we'll see if this is one of them. But at first you're like oh you know, what a silly thing. But then you look at it and you're like no, people are selling pictures and this is a guy, one of them, this guy named Hamed Forest 44. And this is in London town.
Ed Larson
Well before we go into this story which is perfect for side stories, Tom, I'm gonna go back to the Tom Cruise thing for two seconds. Yes, morally the fish is dead.
Andrew Zabrowski
There's no about this isn't moral. This is about morality.
Ed Larson
He buys the dead fish.
Andrew Zabrowski
This is not about crimes and victims. This is about behavior. It's not illegal, but it's still like.
Ed Larson
Frowned upon for sure.
Andrew Zabrowski
I do think maybe I'm wrong.
Ed Larson
Wouldn't he stink?
Andrew Zabrowski
No, he washes right after and it's just his dick and balls.
Ed Larson
Well doesn't he do it at the grocery store and they find the fish all mangled in the bathroom?
Andrew Zabrowski
Sometimes he also sometimes does it in his limo and so his limo might smell like it. But I think that he washes. And I think you'd actually be surprised. Really good quality whole uncut fish doesn't have that bad of a smell. And then I, you know, for the most part it is.
Ed Larson
I'm sure, I'm sure he gets the best stuff.
Andrew Zabrowski
He's getting good stuff, whatever he's getting. And something I think that just columns him. I don't even know if it's sexual. I think that he does it to prove how gay he's not in his own mind that he's so not gay he could have sex with a fish.
Ed Larson
Oh okay.
Andrew Zabrowski
But that's not how that works either.
Ed Larson
If you were to a fish. What fish? Can't say a mammal. Can't say a mammal. I'm gonna.
Andrew Zabrowski
Salmon.
Ed Larson
Salmon.
Andrew Zabrowski
Just straight up the Pam Anderson A fish.
Ed Larson
It is. I mean it's.
Andrew Zabrowski
Right.
Ed Larson
Well it's. It's actually an ugly fish in the face.
Andrew Zabrowski
None of them are attractive.
Ed Larson
Some fish are more attractive than other fish.
Andrew Zabrowski
I hate this.
Ed Larson
A salmon face is repulsive.
Andrew Zabrowski
You really.
Ed Larson
And when they swim upstream they. But I mean skin.
Andrew Zabrowski
I mean this. You really think that there are some. I mean past your character on the show?
Ed Larson
I think a large mouth bass is way more attractive than a salmon. Absolutely beautiful fish.
Andrew Zabrowski
Side stories LP O T l gmail dot com.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
Well, all right. Click on this Rob. It says what's the most fish according to X. I know.
Ed Larson
Or like a sponge would be a good. Or sea cucumber. That'd be a good.
Andrew Zabrowski
What is it showing? Oh, it's just that you got it.
Ed Larson
Oh yeah. You got. You got bit for the. Just some dude in the ocean with his shirt off. You know what I funny bit though.
Andrew Zabrowski
Starfish.
Ed Larson
Starfish?
Andrew Zabrowski
Really?
Ed Larson
Jellyfish.
Andrew Zabrowski
While salmon's up there.
Ed Larson
How is jellyfish?
Andrew Zabrowski
Because they think that you could ball it up.
Ed Larson
Even though so is bass, by the way. But striped bass, not largemouth Striped bass. Yeah, it's a. I guess maybe it's the same thing.
Andrew Zabrowski
I don't know. I don't think so. Yes. Yeah, probably. All right. So this guy, Mod Ferris, he has a bunch of pictures of it and he was found with it. He was a charity volunteer. Mm. They called it extreme porn. And I call it.
Ed Larson
What are you gonna call it?
Andrew Zabrowski
Noah's porn. Right. This is Noah's porn. Besides having his daughters in there. Right. They showed adults having sex with live animals. A court heard. But how would you know? As a picture, Hamid Faris was sent five sickening bestiality images by his so called friend. Now North Staffordshire justice heard the pictures betrayed a person having intercourse with life animal. They included a fish, chicken, dog and monkey.
Ed Larson
The car was told there's five pictures. So one of those animals was featured twice.
Andrew Zabrowski
Popular now they said that a. He says a friend sent me these and I don't know what. And he thought it was disgusting.
Ed Larson
But then he showed everyone else and they told on him.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes. He said where they were first sent to him. He said this is disgusting. I can't even believe that you would send me a video of a man and a fish. Saved a photo profile. I can't believe that you would do that. Right. He does not remember receiving the images. According to him, you can only assume they were sent by the same person. And they were not downloaded by him. They were sent by someone else. Now, I don't think that it helps, but the fact that there are. You know what? It wasn't for so long. Everyone's like, oh, no one's having sex with fish. No one's having sex with fish. They definitely are.
Ed Larson
Well, we saw that woman having sex with the fish.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
In Australia.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yes, we did.
Ed Larson
If you had. We saw that. Does that mean we are in trouble?
Andrew Zabrowski
We definitely.
Ed Larson
We emailed it to each other. Is that not worse?
Andrew Zabrowski
No, it was on the news. No, it was on the news, but.
Ed Larson
Still, what if this was on the news?
Andrew Zabrowski
Then there wouldn't be. If pictures were on the news, then it wouldn't be bad. We just want. We did all this research of the West Memphis three and old shows of these horribly mutilated corpses. These little boys, man, they really show.
Ed Larson
The pictures of those boys.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. So they really do. So, yeah, I think we can handle maybe someone having their dick inside of a fish. I think that we could maybe handle someone's getting their eaten out by a fish.
Ed Larson
I'd rather someone. A fish than a person against its will.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. When you added the caveat. Yeah, yeah. When you finally said the thing that made it not a disturbing sentence. I can agree with you. Sure. But no. Yeah, up until then, I still prefer watching a you minute.
Ed Larson
What is this picture, Rob?
Andrew Zabrowski
That's a carp. It's a carp.
Ed Larson
Oh, it's a carp's vagina or carp's mouth.
Andrew Zabrowski
Oh, it's his mouth. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. You could really. You can really go to town on that one. You can be a real.
Ed Larson
No teeth in there, huh?
Andrew Zabrowski
No, man, you could. No, they're pulled back. You can be real Dennis Rodman on that thing.
Ed Larson
No teeth.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, you could slippity slam that thing. Teach it a lesson or two.
Ed Larson
Yeah, carp, smart fish.
Andrew Zabrowski
Not if it finds out that it's mouth super. Then it's gonna be dead. It's gonna be a dead smart fish. Unless it's gonna be a rich. Well, it's more. The reason why I even wanted to talk about this story is just the.
Ed Larson
Fact that we haven't talked about humans fucking animals in a minute. At least a month.
Andrew Zabrowski
And I just think that with the current election season, we're allowed. Yeah, I think we can come back and talk a little bit, but it's more.
Ed Larson
This is the news that we got this week.
Andrew Zabrowski
This is the news we received this week. I just think that it's more common than we thought it was and that people taking pictures of them fucking them fucking the fish is like way more common than we thought it was. But is it weird to see, say this might get me in trouble.
Ed Larson
Sure.
Andrew Zabrowski
But for some reason in my mind when I'm thinking bestiality, like if you're fucking a fish, Rob, don't look at me when you're fucking a fish. Like is it really for pleasure how.
Ed Larson
Ugly a salmon is? Oh God, tell me that's not a fucking hideous.
Andrew Zabrowski
I'm just so happy that it was just a fish.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
I didn't know what you were going to look up but for some reason for me when it's man on fish, it doesn't feel like bcl, but I know it is.
Ed Larson
It is.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, but it doesn't feel like it.
Ed Larson
Oh, is it because they're cold blooded?
Andrew Zabrowski
We think there's something about a fish that's like way less relatable.
Ed Larson
Oh yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
I mean like a big fish, you.
Ed Larson
Can'T really talk to them.
Andrew Zabrowski
Well no. And they don't know that you're there. Really. And I don't think that a fish gets side stories. LPOTL gmail.com. does a fish get traumatized if you its mouth?
Ed Larson
You can train fish to suck dick. No, I mean to take treats.
Andrew Zabrowski
To suck dick.
Ed Larson
I mean. All right here.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, anything can take treats. They're small. Can it take a dick in its mouth? Look at this and survive.
Ed Larson
All right, look at this video I got here. And you tell me if a fish could take, take. I just almost made the stream but this guy here, he just feeds these catfish with a spoon and they just come and they find him and they love him. Yeah, but he easily could just put his dick in one of these fish's mouths.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, but they'll start chewing off it. He's not gonna. It's not gonna be. He's training them to clamp down on. I don't think it's gonna be super.
Ed Larson
He's surrounded by these things and he's like petting them like they're dogs.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's really weird. Yeah, that is strange. He definitely has a full on. Why is he feeding catfish with the spoon?
Ed Larson
Well, cuz he used to be a fisherman but he was bad at it and so now he just feeds them.
Andrew Zabrowski
So how he just makes them congregate. I used to be a fisherman but now I'm just a fish party promoter. Yeah, that's all I do.
Ed Larson
He's a friend of the fish. He strokes him. He grabs him.
Andrew Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. He's hugging them. They don't know they're being hugged. They're thrashing around. I fish don't know what's happening, man.
Ed Larson
Look, he's kid. He kissed it.
Andrew Zabrowski
He kissed it.
Ed Larson
He kissed it on the mouth.
Andrew Zabrowski
I'm done with.
Ed Larson
He kissed. I told you.
Andrew Zabrowski
He is grooming these fish. This is where this begins. Yeah, this is where this begins. This is catfish grooming. These fish are getting catfish. They don't understand that they're gonna all be raped by this man.
Ed Larson
Rob, you found him. I wasn't even. How did you find that?
Andrew Zabrowski
Spoon feeding a catfish.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
This man is literally grooming the fish.
Ed Larson
Yeah, he loves them.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. He's like fucking God. What's his name from Penn State?
Ed Larson
Jerry Sandusky. Yes, he's Jerry Fisher. These aren't poor fisher, fishy.
Andrew Zabrowski
Jerry Sanfishky.
Ed Larson
This is the show now, folks.
Andrew Zabrowski
This is what we're doing now. This is the longest coverage we've done on a story all day. This is it. It's not gonna always be like this.
Ed Larson
We're talking about people start killing their families again.
Andrew Zabrowski
These are issues.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
They're gonna get. We're gonna have a family.
Ed Larson
Everyone's. All of the horrible people had a great week. They didn't kill their families this week.
Andrew Zabrowski
They were. So, yeah, the horrible people.
Ed Larson
They'll be killing families again and everything will be fine.
Andrew Zabrowski
The horror. People were too busy celebrating last week to make news for this week. Yeah. They've got to be back. They're going to be back and they're going to. We're going to have it all be horrible again. And it's already been. It's already been. We didn't talk about the man accused of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction to destroy Nashville energy facility. But that was just because he didn't get it.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
And you know, we all hate a failure.
Ed Larson
Everyone's got a plan.
Andrew Zabrowski
Everybody's got a plan.
Ed Larson
The follow through makes the news.
Andrew Zabrowski
He was trying to blow up a bunch of. This guy, Skyler Philippi. A real skibidi toilet fucking moron. Broccoli headed piece of zoomer.
Ed Larson
Oh, he's a young man.
Andrew Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. He went out there and he wanted to attack a bunch of Nashville substations using drones with the explosives attached to him. But again, much like most of most, some of the people in his generation he it up.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Andrew Zabrowski
And so he did not do it. Well, he's arrested he's gonna go to jail forever.
Ed Larson
How about speaking of young people having, you know, weird things happening to them. Matte hell accidentally puts a porn website on the Barbie packaging for the Wicked.
Andrew Zabrowski
These guys movie deserve whatever happens to them. They put this Wicked movie can suck my dick.
Ed Larson
I'm actually very excited to see it.
Andrew Zabrowski

Andrew Zabrowski
Come. I love it. Have you listened to Wicked?
Ed Larson
I have never heard it. No, I've never seen it Live sucks. People love it.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, sure. People love Donald Trump.
Ed Larson
Man. I went and saw Back to the Future the musical this week. That was really bad. Y bet it was really bad.
Andrew Zabrowski
All of these music. None of these good. I don't.
Ed Larson
There's no reason to make. At least Wicked is an original.
Andrew Zabrowski
I'm being grumpy today. I'm being grumpy. It's fine. It's just not for me. And also Ariana Grande sucks.
Ed Larson
Boca's own. She's a bokeh alum. She bokeh. I love you, Ariana Socks. Yeah, I like Erivo. She's great.
Andrew Zabrowski
Is that her real name?
Ed Larson
The. The Wicked Witch?
Andrew Zabrowski
She's a great actor.
Ed Larson
She's great.
Andrew Zabrowski
She is great. We'll see how that goes. But yeah, they are accidentally put Wicked.com and for those of us from the 90s into the early 2000s, we know Wicked.com is has nothing to do with the movie. Wicked Movie.com is what they were supposed to do, but Instead they put wicked.com on a bunch of boxes for Mattel and it just sound like it. It just took them all to the straight up crazy hardcore porn and they should actually deal with it. At least they didn't go to evil.
Ed Larson
Angel.Com wicked.com real quick.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah, I mean I want to see.
Ed Larson
What the I see. Want to see what the kids are looking at these days.
Andrew Zabrowski
Whoa. Do they take it down? Oh, no good. That's the work. The work firewall saying why? Why?
Ed Larson
All right. Yeah, you're right.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yep.
Ed Larson
See, there's no titties though.
Andrew Zabrowski
No, there's no titties on this front.
Ed Larson
There's no. There's nothing there. It's just an advertisement for porn. They didn't actually go straight to porn.
Andrew Zabrowski
These people actually, you know what they.
Ed Larson
Sell porn you can't buy.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's not even that bad.
Ed Larson
It's not even that bad. Bad.
Andrew Zabrowski
This is really not even that bad of a website.
Ed Larson
You have to buy it in order to see it.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's more just the Terminology that they would have to have their parents explain. Like just the tip and where the. Where the. Where my is. It's in the back. They have this other thing called the home. Yeah. The Hunger Games or whatever. Where it's like. Yeah, Fantasia. They don't know what this is.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah. Why is she the talk of the town?
Andrew Zabrowski
Because she gapes. But the kids don't know that.
Ed Larson
They don't put that on the COVID Sunny gold melons.
Andrew Zabrowski
Yeah. They love curves. So do a lot of people. The circles, curves and apples. Curve.
Ed Larson
This doesn't. This site doesn't show anything worse than a JC Penny cattle.
Andrew Zabrowski
It really doesn't. I've jerked off the JCPenney catalogs dirtier than this.
Ed Larson
Yeah, absolutely.
Andrew Zabrowski
Physically dirtier.
Ed Larson
Well, when you start doing the collage work yourself and gluing the breasts from, you know, you take them from somewhere else.
Andrew Zabrowski
I like to make a woman. I don't like her. Feed them and use the other woman. Feed them and cut her feet. Feet off. I'm gonna put the other woman's feet on. I hate her head. I'm gonna cut her head off. Put a new head on there.
Ed Larson
I think this is good. If people should be paying for porn.
Andrew Zabrowski
I do believe that as well.
Ed Larson
I think they should. You know, if you're gonna watch it, obviously you don't want to, you know, get caught with your credit card receipts or whatever.
Andrew Zabrowski
What does it matter? Yeah, but the matter if you got caught with your credit card receipt to do a fucking legit porn site.
Ed Larson
It's. It's. I feel like it's better if you can buy it. You know, it's safer for the. For the actors.
Andrew Zabrowski
And the more private goes, the more I'll be able to be hidden from the various Project 20, 25 stuff that's going to happen.
Ed Larson
Are they really going to get rid of porn? They love porn.
Andrew Zabrowski
They'll try.
Ed Larson
You think so?
Andrew Zabrowski
They're not allowed.
Ed Larson
Donald Trump don't watch porn.
Andrew Zabrowski
He can't. He doesn't maintain an erection anymore, I would say.
Ed Larson
Doesn't mean he don't stare at it.
Andrew Zabrowski
No, I think that they. They would try. I think they're going to try, but we'll see because they just don't understand that it's in the plan. Now we're just looking at pornography.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Now. Now this is.
Andrew Zabrowski
No. Yeah. Rob is just looking.
Ed Larson
When you google wick wicked.com search it with the safe search off. Then you see fake breasts.
Andrew Zabrowski
I will say I do like a nice, mature woman and then lead with them.
Ed Larson
You certainly aren't youngsters.
Andrew Zabrowski
Oh, that could be Rob's algorithm.
Ed Larson
Yeah, this could be it. I don't know.
Andrew Zabrowski
It's probably. It is quite possibly. Yeah. Well, we shall see, Edward. Yeah, we shall see. Will the nation continue to masturbate? Yes. But will they do it on the solemn watch fly of their Mac Scream? Yes.
Ed Larson
Real quick as quick shout out to Havalir the. The beluga. Remember we talked about him on the show not too long ago? Because he died. He choked down a stick and he died.

At a 45 minute walk from downtown. You.

Andrew Zabrowski
No, it was great. Once I got there, I'll tell you what, people were shockingly friendly. Like, I was walking down the street, I was in the middle of nowhere and I started realizing, oh, I shouldn't be doing this, maybe. And there was a barren field and there was a bush. And I mean this. There was a bush and a barren field. Hold on.
Ed Larson
Barren and bush together.
Andrew Zabrowski
And there was a man cartoonishly crouched behind the bush as if he was hiding. Okay. And he was there the whole time. And then as I got close to him, he popped up and went, hi. And I just waved at him and just Went right back behind the bush.
Ed Larson
