that's some weird [ __ ] where we dig up
0:04
the craziest quirkiest stories that make
0:06
you go "What the heck just happened?"
0:07
Buckle up it's about to get weird
0:12
as As this uh segment progresses I get
0:15
fewer and fewer strange stories i'm I'm
0:18
I'm having to dig really deep into the
0:21
internet to find stuff i've been I've
0:24
been utilizing Reddit mostly and then
0:26
sometimes I I use uh the blogs that I
0:29
have pinned in my feedly list so the
0:32
first one here is uh apparently uh
0:36
police have warned people that were
0:39
going to the download festival which
0:41
used to be called uh something else back
0:44
in the 80s uh it was Donington that's
0:47
what it was it was it was the Donington
0:50
concert series which was basically like
0:52
a either I think a week long or a
0:53
weekend long uh heavy metal series of
0:57
concerts so think of like uh like uh
1:01
like um Ozfest but like exclusively at
1:04
the same place every year and only that
1:07
place every year uh police issuing mosh
1:09
pit warning ahead of download festival
1:12
in listenshshire
1:16
i I I don't know how to pronounce that
1:19
word that place where download festival
1:21
takes place you can Google it
1:25
listershire is that how it's pronounced
1:28
uh sure
1:31
it's like wish
1:34
well we don't have that so yeah police
1:38
are warning rock fans this weekend at at
1:40
Donald Festival about the potential for
1:43
accidental calls while in the mosh pit
1:46
the police the local police issued an
1:48
alert ahead of the event at Donington
1:51
Park at Donington Castle even which
1:55
begins on Friday posting on Facebook the
1:58
the force said previous years they
2:00
received a rise in nearly seven nearly
2:04
700 extra uh emergency calls over there
2:07
it's 999 we we have 911 but they have
2:11
999 uh caused
2:14
uh by the energetic dancing at download
2:18
tech the tech assumed that people in the
2:21
mosh pit had been in a collision causing
2:25
uh the emergency contact number to be
2:28
called and abandoned calls
2:33
so basically leave your phone in your
2:37
car folks or don't take it with you when
2:40
you go to a download festival uh or have
2:43
someone hold your [ __ ] while you're in
2:44
the mosh pit
2:46
i mean do phones act I guess they I
2:49
guess they could accidentally hit the
2:51
emergency call button if it's locked
2:54
right
2:57
yeah i mean a lot of times it's just
2:59
like
3:00
you press the uh lock button too many
3:03
times and it does it okay cuz I know on
3:06
my my Android phone it has emergency
3:08
call on it don't mosh with a phone in
3:11
your pocket you're just going to break
3:12
your phone or hurt yourself or somebody
3:14
yeah i mean that that would be my
3:16
concern is like you know if I have my
3:18
phone in my pocket it's going to get
3:20
destroyed no the phone should go in your
3:22
fanny pack and the fanny pack can be
3:23
tied under your chair or have or have
3:26
someone who's not have someone who's not
3:28
up for mushing at this at at this point
3:30
in the show to watch your [ __ ] yeah
3:33
don't take it with you or if they if if
3:34
this venue has lockers to put your [ __ ]
3:37
away so you don't have to worry about
3:38
your [ __ ] going walkabout
3:42
so yeah I just I saw that I was like "Oh
3:44
that's kind of funny." I mean then you
3:47
and then like the people outside are
3:49
like "Why are all these ambulances
3:51
showing up?" We got on a report there
3:53
was a collision over here it's like this
3:55
is a concert there's people like
3:58
slam dancing and marching do they even
4:01
call it slam dancing anymore probably
4:03
not i'm I'm aging myself at this point
4:05
so Well it's National Gen X Day you're
4:08
allowed to do that today
4:10
that was the original name for for
4:12
moshing was slam dancing folks because
4:15
that's what you did you were bouncing
4:17
off each other you were running into
4:18
people it was a cool way for guys to
4:20
dance with each other without it being
4:22
gay
4:24
it was a It was a good way to dance and
4:25
get the excess energy out man you don't
4:28
understand man you can't just go up to a
4:30
guy and be like "Dude you want to
4:31
dance?" But you run and jump and throw
4:33
your whole body into him now he better
4:35
dance it's like and and it's not like I
4:37
wanted to beat the guy up but I
4:38
definitely wanted to hurt him you know
4:41
and what's really want him to feel me
4:44
what's what's really funny is the
4:46
average person who's never been to a
4:47
heavy metal show thinks that mosh pits
4:50
are just inherently violent and everyone
4:52
gets hurt some people get hurt because
4:55
they don't know any better and those
4:56
around them don't help them um but for
4:59
the most part every time I've ever been
5:01
to a mosh pit anybody who's fallen to
5:03
the ground has been immediately picked
5:05
up and like "Are you okay are you hurt
5:08
do you need anything?" All right cool
5:10
let's get back to the pit that's how
5:12
it's always been in fact the last time I
5:14
mo I was in a mosh pit was in a small
5:17
venue here in Seattle South Seattle uh
5:20
called Ly's Liquor Lucky Liquor and they
5:22
had a really great thrash metal band
5:25
these guys were all in their 20s they're
5:27
[ __ ] amazing and I got into this
5:29
circle pit which is basically a mosh pit
5:31
is everybody's running in circles it's
5:34
just one giant circle and everyone's and
5:36
then and then the occasional person will
5:38
cross over cross over the circles to the
5:40
other side and that's when you get
5:42
bounced into and knocked over well I was
5:44
doing that and uh I got I got I got uh
5:49
someone did like a like a football
5:51
tackle I think because they did they put
5:53
their arms up like they're blocking and
5:56
they kind of came at me and they pushed
5:58
up when they hit me so I got knocked up
6:01
off my feet i went up in the air and all
6:05
I remember is like going backwards and
6:07
then falling on my ass
6:10
and like luckily for me I did not bounce
6:14
uh my head or anything important off the
6:17
cement floor yeah that's dangerous i I
6:20
my my lower back hurt for like two weeks
6:22
after that but that was the extent of my
6:25
hurt maybe my pride was hurt a little
6:27
bit more but that was the extent of it
6:29
all right next story man anytime you hit
6:32
the floor though when there's people
6:34
running around like you hit the floor
6:35
that's dangerous i mean especially at a
6:38
small small venues like that they don't
6:39
that's how people get trampled in what
6:42
concerts and [ __ ] that's in a mosh pit
6:44
you're never going to get trampled
6:45
because people will see you fall and
6:47
then grab you pick you up
6:50
you know so okay so this next story was
6:52
one that actually made me laugh at the
6:54
at the at the uh title of it tsa is
6:58
urging people to stop trying to use
7:00
their Costco card as a real ID
7:06
folks yes you have a black and white
7:08
photo of your your your a mug shot on
7:11
your Costco card but that is not a valid
7:13
ID i think the airlines and stuff like
7:16
used to take a Costco card for certain
7:18
IDs really because Costco is that tough
7:23
about giving out their IDs i mean not
7:26
really i mean you could you don't have
7:29
to give them your state ID when you get
7:31
your Costco card you just give them
7:33
money and they take your photo
7:37
i'm trying I'm trying to remember what
7:38
we had to because I I finally got my own
7:41
Costco card uh through my wife's work
7:43
and uh I had to go down there i had to
7:45
provide him some stuff trying to
7:47
remember what all we had to do but there
7:49
was a time where a Costco ID would work
7:50
for lots of things well I mean I just
7:53
know from the times I've gone to Costco
7:55
I don't remember them asking for my
7:57
driver's license but it's very possible
7:59
they did and I just don't remember
8:01
because it was so unimportant to me you
8:04
know being Well it would have only been
8:05
like the very first time you signed up
8:08
yeah and that was You know what my first
8:10
Costco card was on my mom's account and
8:14
I was a teenager so I I probably didn't
8:16
need to give any ID because my mom did
8:19
so and then my I I when when I opened my
8:23
own account I was like I have this card
8:24
i want to can I make this my own account
8:27
can I because my mom is no longer with
8:29
us and her account is no longer active
8:32
and they're like "Yeah." So that's how I
8:34
got my card but this is what this You
8:36
back doored it you back doored it yep i
8:39
did it i did a cornhole
8:45
corn uh it says the TSA is expressing
8:48
frustrations with travelers who are not
8:50
providing proper Real ID to fly on a
8:54
Facebook post Wednesday the TSA made it
8:57
known that Costco membership cards is
9:00
not an acceptable identification we love
9:02
hot dogs and rotissery chickens as much
9:04
as the next person but please stop
9:08
telling people their Costco card counts
9:10
as a real ID because it absolutely does
9:13
not the TSA wrote "Don't believe
9:16
anything."
9:18
I I mean it's it's got to be like
9:22
it's got to be like places like Florida
9:24
or like someplace in the south where you
9:27
know
9:29
this is my Costco ID it's got my face on
9:31
it it's real it's a real ID it's got my
9:35
name and my face it's not a fake Costco
9:38
card
9:40
starting May 7th most adults catching a
9:43
flight in the US are now required to
9:46
present either a passport or an upgraded
9:49
identific
9:51
identification card uh that meets
9:54
federal Real ID standards according to
9:57
the Associated Press the requirements is
10:00
20 years in the making a real ID is a
10:04
driver's license or other stateisssued
10:06
ID that meets security requirements
10:09
mandated in 2005 law passed uh in the
10:13
aftermath of September 11th 2001
10:16
terrorist attacks in most cases real ID
10:20
are designated with a white star in the
10:23
yellow circle real IDs have been
10:25
available for years from the DMV people
10:29
who didn't get one by May 7th still can
10:31
apply
10:35
the Department of Homeland Security
10:37
website links to information in each
10:40
states on scheduling appointments and
10:43
lists the documents needed when I got my
10:46
enhanced driver's license which is
10:48
definitely considered a uh real ID uh I
10:52
needed to have a copy of my my birth
10:55
certificate
10:56
and uh social security card and
11:03
a valid uh either state ID or driver's
11:06
license
11:08
so that's how I got And you didn't show
11:10
them your Costco card you weren't like
11:11
"What about this?"
11:12
I mean no because I think at that point
11:15
my Costco card didn't even have my photo
11:17
on it
11:19
i mean I I about I think that same year
11:22
that I got that that driver's license is
11:24
when I I last updated my photo on my
11:27
Costco card and uh I swear to God I've
11:32
lost some weight or I've always looked
11:34
like Chum Lee from Pawn Stars
11:39
cuz that photo my head looked like a
11:41
[ __ ] pumpkin man and it was I had as
11:46
as people have seen on on this video I
11:50
don't have my front teeth anymore and
11:51
it's part of the reason why I have
11:52
trouble with some words um back then I
11:56
still had teeth but uh if I was to like
11:58
if I if my head was that big still to
12:01
this day I I'd be like I really need to
12:03
lose some weight cuz it I' I when I saw
12:06
how big my head looked on that photo I
12:07
was like that did you guys like stretch
12:09
the image like no well nothing looks
12:11
worse than a Costco photo i mean except
12:14
for maybe like a a work ID which is it's
12:18
basically the same thing same thing it
12:20
really is because my my ID card from
12:23
when I worked at Earthlink uh the camera
12:26
for like taking our photo was on the
12:27
ceiling so I had to look up at the
12:30
camera and which always makes you look
12:34
like a a mug shot so I So a higher angle
12:38
is better than a lower angle yeah it
12:40
definitely uh I'm like I I don't know
12:44
what the angle was for Costco but it
12:46
made my head looks massive i look like I
12:50
I looked like I looked like I looked
12:52
like a a jack-o'Lantern
12:54
uh on a uh on a stick so um All right so
13:00
then the last story I have here uh I I
13:02
grabbed it because I was like "Wait
13:04
didn't they used to do like these these
13:06
meetings someplace in the Midwest at a
13:09
private like um private property
13:12
someplace?" The annual Shadowy
13:14
Bilderberg group takes place in Sweden
13:16
this year
13:18
because yeah I could have sworn that
13:20
they used to do those like at some like
13:23
billionaires compound out in the middle
13:25
middle America
13:27
it probably says that here in You have
13:29
to explain to me what this Bilderberg
13:30
think is so for those who you don't know
13:33
the Bilderberg group is what is uh
13:36
people think is the shadowy organization
13:38
that runs our country also known as the
13:42
Illuminati
13:44
see I thought it was Black Rock and
13:46
State Street i mean those guys are
13:48
probably all part of it too i mean it's
13:51
uh you know the Illuminati has always
13:54
been like the shadowy you know uh group
13:57
of people who make a you know hey we're
14:00
going to do this with this and that and
14:02
the other and we're going to get rid of
14:03
that and this and that and the other
14:04
kind of thing so the first time I smiled
14:07
or laughed after Trump got elected the
14:09
first time was an EMTT Montgomery
14:12
Facebook post that just said in all caps
14:15
"This is a horrible way to find out the
14:17
Illuminati aren't real
14:23
[Laughter]
14:26
the Illuminati." Um uh so yeah it says
14:30
the meeting took place at the Grand
14:32
Hotel in Stockholm the event which has
14:35
taken by the way this already is
14:37
sounding like the setup of a Wes
14:38
Anderson film probably this is which has
14:42
taken place almost every year since 1954
14:45
remains shrouded in mystery and intrigue
14:47
originally intended uh intended to be to
14:51
enable dialogue between Europe and North
14:54
America the group which is comprised of
14:57
some of the world's most powerful
14:59
politicians bankers and business owners
15:02
has become synonym onous with stories of
15:04
shady dealings and class clandestine
15:08
government agendas
15:11
where it happens
15:13
adding to the mystery surrounding the
15:15
group's annual meetings is the fact that
15:17
no cameras or journalists are allowed
15:20
inside uh meaning that everything is
15:24
everything that is discussed remains
15:27
private so it's basically like going to
15:29
Vegas what state what happens in Vegas
15:31
stays in Vegas this year's meeting which
15:34
took place yesterday was attended by
15:37
NATO general general security Mark Rut
15:41
Microsoft CEO
15:43
Satya Nadella and US uh military
15:47
commander uh Christopher Donahghue
15:51
according to the reports the meeting
15:53
aimed to address topics
15:56
uh such as situation in Ukraine
15:58
artificial intelligence transit trans
16:00
transatlantic
16:03
relations and uh distribution of
16:06
valuable rare minerals
16:10
and uh who who the I don't know it's if
16:13
you if you go on to like uh onto like
16:16
conspiracy theory websites and search it
16:18
search for the built that this group
16:21
you'll build I L D R
16:26
Yeah
16:30
as things as things stand it remains
16:33
unclear just how impactful the
16:36
Bilderberg meetings actually are to
16:38
global events with some playing down
16:41
their significance and others
16:42
maintaining they are secretly more
16:44
influential than many world governments
16:48
suffice to say it is unlikely we'll ever
16:51
know exactly what goes on at these
16:53
events after the doors have closed
16:56
i remember seeing an article about a guy
16:59
who snuck into one of these things and
17:01
took photos and they do apparently they
17:04
have like a ritual sacrifice and and
17:07
things of that nature now the ritual
17:09
sacrifice as presented by this this
17:12
article was that it was a mock sacrifice
17:16
it wasn't a real sacrifice um you know
17:20
it was a play so to speak and uh but
17:24
apparently they used to do actual
17:25
sacrifices and you know and you know
17:29
every time you see like a a a a secret
17:32
organization in a movie that is like
17:34
wearing robes and carrying torches the
17:37
stone cutters yeah exactly like the
17:40
stone cut it's based on this group or
17:42
the rumors of Well it's all kind of it
17:46
it's It's all very reminiscent of a
17:48
typical uh fraternity club like the
17:52
Freemasons yeah yeah and and I think
17:54
it's how it started as as a variant on
17:56
the the Masons
17:59
and that would make sense because and
18:00
because it was all like leaders of of
18:02
countries and corporations and stuff
18:05
that it became this super secret and
18:07
that you if you weren't part if you
18:08
weren't like a top CEO of of a Fortune
18:12
500 or whatever kind of company you
18:14
weren't invited you had to be invited to
18:16
you wouldn't just because you had a
18:18
bunch of money didn't mean you were
18:20
going to be able to go you had to be
18:22
invited and it's a club yeah yeah it's a
18:24
It's a private club and Yeah it's a
18:27
private club and people of high
18:29
influence are part of it so they're
18:32
obviously going to discuss things here
18:34
that end up having a play when they get
18:37
out of the meeting as well like they
18:40
definitely like there's there's
18:42
something to the fact of anytime
18:44
powerful people get together privately
18:46
uh I mean but is it is it more world
18:49
changing than when
18:52
Justice Alo hosts a guest at his dinner
18:55
and they conspire to get Roie Wade
18:58
overturned yeah is it I mean it's it's
19:00
the same type of stuff that we're Yeah
19:02
it's it's it's you know it it does
19:04
definitely smack up like a a uh a dude
19:08
bro gathering with a bunch of guys who
19:10
wear their hats backwards and but it's
19:13
an elitist it definitely is an elitist
19:16
uh cabal that gets to privately Yeah you
19:19
know canoodleoodle with each other and
19:22
who knows what comes of it if anything
19:24
yeah i like I said go on go on that that
19:28
uh that down that rabbit hole of the
19:30
Bilderberg group on YouTube or on uh on
19:34
on Google you'll find all kinds of
19:36
interesting stories whether or not
19:38
they're true is really the question but
19:40
still interesting stories and I've
19:42
always maintained that uh that um
19:46
conspiracy theories always make for the
19:48
best science fiction
19:50
doesn't have to be great storytelling it
19:52
just has to be entertaining
19:54
there you go that I mean that's Isn't
19:56
that Isn't that our news culture these
19:59
days pretty much yeah doesn't matter if
20:01
it's factual or right or good it just
20:05
has to be entertaining yeah yeah well I
20:08
think that is it for today folks and um
20:12
and we are and we are trying to be
20:13
informative and factual and we're trying
20:15
