bat bi hiru lau, watch your back watch your back
Ertzaintza's gonna get you. watch your back watch your back
Ertzaintza's gonna get you. Watch your back
oh there's a crime here it's a coming from the Euskal Herria
gotta wash those red hands it's the crimes of the basquelands
it's the crimes of the basquelands
yes welcome so we're doing a txiki so this week and that doesn't necessarily
mean it's going to be short because txiki means small it is so it's just
yeah short little story might be a little bit shorter today but maybe maybe
let's see yeah so how have you been Douglas news to report um I don't think
necessarily no no I'm extremely stoked on the good weather personally I love
spring mm-hmm me some summer so I'm really happy it's definitely hotting up
long days and warmer yeah so that's happening here but it's also a little
worrying because we're probably not gonna have you know a good well we'll
have a drought this summer which means all of our food is gonna be at risk
agriculture well I mean the Basque Country would be fine maybe yeah we got a
lot of I mean we haven't had any rain though all of April no rain it's I just
got a feeling that like just Sam bird or you know January something they were
saying there's tons of rain no there wasn't there wasn't the whole winter no
rain it was like three weeks in February and that was it and usually it's from
December to June it's raining pretty consistently but yeah we'll see okay
well maybe we'll just have a very rainy summer and that'll just rain on
everyone's parade for summer plans let's see yeah so yeah so yeah we're having a
very fun drink today oh yeah because I was feeling very summery mm-hmm so I
wanted to bust out a cocktail instead of a beer wine yeah and we're having so
we're having strawberry gin do you want to introduce yeah the cocktail strawberry
gin I bought some raspberries put those in there lime yeah there was a special
tonic you think some berry tonic berry tonic and bubbly water yeah very fresh
not very sweet love in it let's cheers for our it's not Basque but it's fine
it's spring yeah it's spring we looked it up it's from here is right in the
south mm-hmm yeah which is a very traditional alcohol producing region
right so because it's not sherry it is is sherry is a version in English of
redness yeah and the drink as well yeah cheers cheers cheers to have this
cheers to summer cocktails that also that I have to say like it's not too
like it's like it's we had a couple of days ago we had a really hot day and then
it went down again to like maximum 23 which I think is lovely yeah that's
Celsius for those of you yeah I'm sorry I can't translate is like for for for
like 30 would be like almost 85 I've no idea something like that and let's just
say numbers 20 would be like 70 or something somewhere around there means
nothing to me yeah it's like saying 2.5 it'll mean something to anyone that like
lives in Fahrenheit I know I'm sorry which is American listeners essentially
get over and maybe UK listeners no I don't think they know both no I think
older people know that but not really no okay our producers nodding head okay I
mean it's just I've seen a lot more like younger channels on YouTube that are
from America like this thing this as well which is seeing the empirical
yeah yeah it's stupid system so it feels like you know we're allowed to be an
anti-farenheit sure let's all talk in Celsius and I realize be like 23 it's
freezing what are you you can translate yeah so look it up because there's some
really convoluted math formula to figure it out nobody cares it's probably
through you know the process of figuring out myself so right I just look it up I
just put it in Google you still think what is this in Fahrenheit right I'm
wondering okay but you have your thing and mobile is in Celsius oh yeah okay no
no I think in Celsius now oh good good yeah I think in kilometers now used to
think in miles but now I think in kilometers feet you've transitions you
know I don't think it's feet anymore I think welcome well actually no that's not
true I don't think in feet in terms of like your height uh-huh oh you know okay
no I still don't know how tall I am in centimeters maybe it's too depressing
lol it's always small it's always a small number I'm a very small person
never a shock should be small yeah get the small places huggy places I do I
could fit in a dryer can you still do that Julie I'm gonna try I'm gonna go
home tonight no I don't encourage any of our listeners are you gonna turn it on
I see if I fit inside well there could be so many mess up the dryer though yeah too much weight something like that we don't think so
that's also I have to think like in pounds versus in kilos so it's another
thing I have to think about you see you're just creating problems no I've
switched my own brain but it took a while to switch to the to switch yeah
yeah I've switched so many times if everything that I mean it's most not not
that like I've always used meters and stuff but like I grew up for a long time
in Brazil and so there was a lot of change in currency I think I had seven
currencies during my time currencies yeah I get dollars and exchange rates
and not sure the piece of candy cost I mean half a million five relative yeah
new Crusaders Crusaders Crusaders new Crusaders they can't be such ridiculous
name and put one was new one was old the the stupid one was when they had this
one called Crusader which is like a cross or okay something like that and
then at some point they change it to Crusader which is like another way of
saying cross yeah or across and then then they had the Crusader move novel like
the new crusade it's like come on guys like what's even the point of changing
at this time right yeah they even had the like version where they like stamped
three zeros behind banknotes and that was supposed to be the new number you
know all sorts of ridiculous things how do people keep up I would have been lost
totally lost Fahrenheit seems like nothing yeah it's nothing that formula
the days when you had to do math formula and didn't have Google it's all over now
Google's with us so for our podcast is about if we if we want to refresh our
listeners all our new listeners Julie yes a little bit hello welcome hello
it's it's about crimes of the Basque lands but the Basque lands would
incorporate anything from anywhere a bad person went and anywhere in the world
that a Basque and that a Basque person was you know yeah something happened
and they were a victim of a crime or he's a the perpetrator of a crime or he
reported in a crime all some anyway anyway yeah so it's all it's all the
judge was Basque oh we can talk about tenuous doesn't have we learn things
about the Basque Country on our way right mm-hmm yeah their names and places
surnames places some language little lessons yeah so so today on the cheeky
side we're gonna talk about some small stories or just like headlines that we
found mm-hmm and you have our first story the first story it's kind of sad
mm-hmm but it's pretty Basque oh you know ask me okay so this was in
Capuzkoa in Irun very well famous quite a big town yeah next to the last year
right San Sebastian mm-hmm yep very close to the last day or San Sebastian so
two men found dead in a hamlet in the Ola Berria neighborhood mm-hmm cute
yeah so it's a small little village right outside of it I guess okay
Ola Berria or that's the neighborhood a small outskirts neighborhood it's kind
of hard to know here because they have so many names right sometimes there's a
municipality and then you'll have the neighborhoods but then you'll have like
special and I'm probably saying it wrong Ola Berria maybe it would be I don't know
didn't have the accent on it yeah I think it could be both yeah so yeah they
mm-hmm so these two men one of which was aged 53 in the other 47 they were found
and this so that's what they're calling the neighborhood Ola Berria in Irun and
they both died of guns shot wounds specifically guns shotgun and shot wounds
mm-hmm and it turns out that the two men had been kind of like partners in
business they owned a piece of land they bought up some land together for for
caravan use like to park caravans there right like or like so that it was like
an old I read somewhere that it was a slaughterhouse an old slaughterhouse and
they ended up buying that property just unmute miss not used anymore slaughterhouse
and we're going to commercially like change the use of it yeah so it they
they're suspecting that it was part of a dispute between business dispute between
the two that both were dead mm-hmm one of them shot the other uh-huh and then
committed suicide oh really yeah oh my gosh so that's intense so that's their
conclusion then that it just happened so okay the investigation is ongoing still
going going yeah so that's the speculation I guess at this point as to
why this might have happened I guess talking to family members or whoever
mm-hmm be like well they were having some disagreements gosh yeah why did you
think it was such a Basco crime though I didn't think it just happened in the
Basque Country that's the tenuous it was a crime that happened in the Basque
land that's people are businessmen that's that's definitely true true and
it's a really rural area where they were so it's a party a small I'm sure
everybody knew these guys right so the area like pretty shocking I would I
would think so it is and I would imagine the suicide was maybe you know
you know factors into the fact that it was such a small place and like how
maybe he did for the moment murdered this guy and then thought what have I
done yeah and how am I gonna face everybody after this yeah sort of thing
yeah sir heavy they're pretty young too like 47 53 okay wow I mean that's not
that young but yeah you know prime of their lives I guess at least taxable
yeah so they apparently had like continuous disputes about how to manage
the property that they owned together well let's not buy an abattoir to get I
know right it's just leads to murder lesson of the day that was the vibe and
the property it was just like a killing property so that's my first story so I
I'll you know you have questions well well one I wanted to explain myself
like I live here and I have no idea this happens it's because I don't watch the
news in in Castilian or Basque I should I'm starting to watch it in Basque but
not much so that's how I don't know about those things so it was pretty fresh
though when did this happen this was dang it I didn't even look but let me look at the link I
always keep the link on April 20th okay so I guess that was a little while ago
420 I was celebrating 20 yeah 420 yeah well yeah that was some a crime for
sure it wasn't a best glance it's about 10 days ago no 15 days ago very sad well
yeah I hope everybody recovers somewhat from this tragedy that's really yeah
it's gonna take time huh doesn't have any information if they had family I
mean obviously the family but like yeah they were married had children I think
so yep there's that so keep an eye on that maybe it'll develop into an even
more intense story that we could possibly do a long main episode on sure
yeah maybe possibly some convoluted stuff in there that could be interesting
find some drugs or some way we are not we're not suggesting anything my turn in
yeah sure so in honor of a friend I'm I met from Colombia mm-hmm I was looking
for crimes in Colombia okay and it was cool we took a little bit longer than
usual to find crimes today and I kept coming across different things amongst
them how there's a very heavy presence of Basque people in this region called
Antioquia in Colombia and I actually saw a news story about that today too and I
was really yeah it was just speaking about that in general yes that story I
saw that so well this is I mean it's not necessarily connected to that but it was
interesting to come across that and I think we will definitely visit that area
again mm-hmm and I you know at some point I think in the 70s some researcher
was looking into the books and in Bogota and found the phone books just that that
kind of research and just counted up all this back sirnames uh-huh and he found
more than 215 or more than 200 sirnames and this is a town or region Antioquia
is a region like I would say it's a state I'm not sure if they call that a
state yeah and then Bocata is the capital right so you know just saying
it's quite a big presence there they've gone all right it sounds like I'm gonna
like to go back to the historical part find some crime histories history crimes
there yeah and actually I'm not sure where this occurred because it's kind of
in the forests but it is in Antioquia oh no it says here I just don't know what a
core he meant oh it's a it's a in the in the core he meant of Yaramal which is in
Antioquia so I guess I could have him into something like a municipality or
something anyway so it's in region of Antioquia and one year ago it this girl
was killed Laura Alejandra Flores Aguirre Aguirre being our surname of
concern here like it's a very traditional surname I think I think even
one of the first well one of the Peneube people is an Aguirre one of the top the
yeah the main nationalist party here mm-hmm there's some Aguirre I'm sorry I
don't remember his name but it's it's a Google away and she was a geologist and
she was working to find gold for for continental gold which is a company from
Canada okay and they would work for I think it was 20 days and then they would
have 10 days off and then they go back and so she was she was having concerns
about security and she would talk to her father every day and unfortunately
that day she was especially nervous it so happens she was killed later on these
guys a group of people turned up and just sprayed shooting like this house
where they were staying and then she died because of that whoa yeah very very
you know so it's one year on now and they have they have some names of
suspects six or seven people I mean this is I mean it's not funny funny but so
where is this line here so another ten people suffered injuries and yes three
people yeah another two people died to other two geologists who were just
beginning their careers and so the six people are the people who are the
suspects at this point right after the first investigations were garbanzo
they're all aliases garbanzo Samir what Tija and dress Jonathan and Nani's
they're all oh no sorry the first four are dissident groups of FARC were in a
dissident group of FARC FARC is the people the left-wing militant group who's
fighting against the government or who has been fighting against the government
and now Columbia is signing a peace accord with them and trying to move on
to peace so these four people were from the from a FARC dissident group so they
didn't agree with the FARC's peace negotiations and the John Jonathan and
Nani's are from another paramilitary group called ELM so that was and that
would be with the people who turned up and shot at the group of geologists and
then they surmised that the head of this operation is a guy whose allies is
cabullo and he actually turns out to have a bastard name as well oh where is
he Ricardo Ricardo Abel Ayala or they go and Ayala is a place in is it is it
Navarre I think it is I don't know in any case it's a best town okay so I will
take your word for it there's a there's a saint Ayala I think as well in any case
it's also very very common first name yeah in the Basque Country first name
yeah hmm hey yeah yeah shout out to our friends yeah so the first person to fall
as the article says uh-huh was Boteca who died when the Air Force bombed the camp
he was in wait so wait yeah it's pretty intense right they suspected this group
mm-hmm but they are paramilitaries right right but the government retaliated by
bombing their camp I mean it wasn't immediate it's like they were just we
know they did it they were bombing camps and then they went and went to
identify they were like oh this guy who was responsible for the geologists was
also in the camp it wasn't like specifically against like they weren't
targeting him yeah apparently they they did target this camp because they
believed kabuya was there at that point okay so that's the excuse for bomba
bombing the camps damn yeah I don't know I think we should just leave it at that
no so they so they bombed one of the guys and they haven't arrested anyone
else somebody else was killed the story I saw today about it was that they were
holding some sort of vigil mm-hmm to just don't forget that these people died
and I guess kind of asking for action which ones this in this story mm-hmm
because I saw an article mm-hmm today when I was searching if I'm not mistaken
if I'm not mistaken this is the place you did read about the story I didn't
read the story I just I just saw that it was in Tokyo yes mm-hmm that name I
recognize mm-hmm and then I was like oh I don't know where is this and I didn't
realize where it was and it just looked like they were holding like a vigil for
those who died okay in this you know shooting okay maybe and like to to
perhaps like ask for action to be taken well is a year later so it would make
sense yeah that they're you know yeah trying to oh that's interesting and
that's probably why it's in the news here because it's been a year and and
people are like come on it's it's a topic in the news yeah yeah well send us in
more information if anybody has relevant information you think we've skipped it
also says here that on the 6th of October 2018 garbanzo was captured by
the way garbanzo is hilarious can you imagine that was like your gang name
you call me Garbanzo I'm I like garbanzo it's a good name I think I'd be happy
with it I'd be happy with it personally love it he was small like me you know yes
in and out of things rolling roll out of the dryer like if I need to yeah that
your secret in and out of the superhero moves yeah like I could just like slip
in slip out okay let's let's let's do this let's trade a novel Jules sounds
like a project no I like it go by garbanzo super garbanzo Garcia anywho's
so he and garbanzo was captured by the army in San Jose de la Montaña on in
2018 so that's that's another one oh they caught him yeah apparently they they
got him with the gun that actually killed forgot her name let's go back but
in 2018 Laura Alejandra Flores Aguirre I know I'm a little bit confused where
that story's from yeah sorry the story is from 2019 so 20th September 2019 huh
I'm gonna have to look again my archives to see if it is the same story written
by yeah Haiti Tamayo Ortiz we did look up Ortiz and it's not Basque
pretty common Spanish mm-hmm mm-hmm apparently it comes from it's like an
a kind of nettle nettles mm-hmm would translate Ortiz or Ortega mm-hmm and
yeah that I think those are the only two that were that were captured or that we
know of so far well to the point like a year ago so maybe more of these people
were captured and yeah that was that was a story I found okay let's hope they they
get more of the people yeah we'll see if there's any resolution hmm yeah just
going down there to do your job and so she was Canadian descent no I mean she's
Canadian she just worked for a Canadian firm oh so she's from there but she was
working for a Canadian company yeah okay I think so hmm a geologist there yeah
huh I wonder why they were targeted that's weird so in the story there was a
part where the she she says a couple of days before or a few days yeah she was
fearing for a life and stuff yeah so and apparently so I don't know how long
before I'll rewind a little bit more like two or three weeks before another
group of geologists that were camping somewhere close by they were four or five
people came with guns and kind of told them to get out of there and so that was
happening they these people safely got away and two three days before the crime
I didn't understand this very well but it did they some army clothing turned up
torn torn apparently so it was apparently they interpreted the torn
clothes yeah as a we don't want any military around here uh-huh but that's
how ambiguous it was and then a few days yeah they associated maybe the
corporation in cahoots with the government raping the land somehow
maybe yeah that's definitely the argument that FARC would be yeah making
which you know and also they also fight for indigenous rights which has been an
issue yeah over the last decades and centuries I would say mm-hmm in most
places yeah that are colonized exactly you know but some some places have had
indigenous leaders and like Ecuador or or Peru in different stages and they
have tried to address some of those problems not very successfully but you
know right I think Colombia definitely has been a place where the elites have
always been in power hmm you know so yikes that's let's hope the piece goes
forward we actually just commenting this also because the Colombian president was
visiting Spain right oh yeah that's right he did find out a story today and
he was a bit rude to the king apparently which we didn't really understand what
the what his faux pas was either apparently didn't want to wear wear
something Frank and whatever that Frank Frank is like we're never gonna need to
know because we're never gonna have any meetings with the king so there's no
need for us to worry about getting a Frank whatever it is for the cake I
thought was like a sash or something like that or fancy necklace something so
he's supposed to wear something and the king was super offended well I like I
kind of like the response of the of the president because he was like it's just
some anti-democratic symbols of power you know and I agree with yeah I called
it a levest exactly right yeah yeah so yeah we were like yeah that's cool go
Colombia yeah bring us back down to earth and hope that peace talks go
forward yeah okay should we take a break let's see you guys soon okay when we
bang hello as you say summer is coming is has arrived in me yeah but truly but
hey yeah it's a life mm-hmm okay so the next story we're here nurse faces legal
action for faking Spanish kids vaccines oh my gosh right that already is
reminding me of that story from Italy you know that story I'm thinking about
no there was this doctor who charged extra for people that wanted a false
vaccine and so they pay him and he'd inject them with the correct vaccine so
that they could like say that they got it yeah or like Trent like for trans
travel and stuff yeah cuz they're there they're anti-vaxxers in Italy that
didn't want a vaccine so this doctor said it wasn't the best he said oh I'm
just okay yeah I'll just give you some you know insulin or whatever some b12
vitamin but he'd inject them with the real oh my god well that sounds like
they could sue him for that right maybe it's Italy who knows everything can be
sued I guess depends on your legal system well this lady sorry I had to get
that out of my yeah that was funny so what's she doing now okay so 42
families in Spain are pursuing legal action against a nurse whom they allege
faked the process of administering routine vaccines to their children so
the nurse worked for 18 months at a government clinic in Santurce which is
in Bilbao right north the greater like greater Bilbao yeah on the metro line
port is yeah yeah superport is we call it it's a superport so cool I mean it's
very big and they built it out quite extensively when though but yes it's
quite a new yeah we got cruise ships coming in there we got everything all
the shipments no the crew cruise ship comes into the
Santurce or to the party or no I always thought they came into part of the
pretty made it out no I believe you but maybe I don't know it would make sense
place to show up it does and I I just know because I see them coming out the
metro I am sure it's on the metro but they wouldn't have to go through any
customs stuff they have that wherever the ship arrives but I guess it might be
centered it sounds more logical to be sent to it all right well I don't know I
always assumed I guess that it was sent to see because that's where the port
was mmm I do yeah I could be wrong we will know shall we look into it maybe
not now okay well now Douglas is gonna look into it so let's see where do the
cruise ships come into Bilbao mm-hmm in a report to the crucianos David Bob
Julie there's a cruise ship in Getschel so yeah maybe you're right
yep get you get you're swear the the yeah which we would write the port de
Portivo we would call it a marina in English right yeah so it's where the
marina is yeah and that's yeah I guess huh it's either next door to that word
well it is a lot more like fun to show up there isn't it big shipping containers
are showing yeah it's a lovely but the ferry what about the ferry that comes
from England that probably I don't know but they come with cars and everything
so yeah what's the name is it Southport Newport what's the name of the English
city I thought it was like
Southport no oh that's the one Santucci e Sierbara hmm maybe that's what I was
thinking of so it's between these two now that'll be Santucci yeah 15 kilometers
west of a bow it says so well I mean maybe you could say that it's more north
so that's where the ferry comes in all right all right we've got it all worked
out then where are these ships coming in anyway well this nurse she was working
in Santucci in a clinic for 18 months so they began their investigation in
October after receiving complaints about the health workers behavior okay so when
parents would take their children to be vaccinated the nurse would inject them
with quote very secretly and very fast hmm and then through the vial directly
into the garbage can hmm so some parents some of the parents that are like
involved in this lawsuit saw that the vial was still full hmm
ouch yeah so the nurse hasn't been identified but she had also made
frequent comments on discharging vaccines so this is a Google Translate so
discharging I'm assuming throwing away vaccines yeah this sounds weird to
discharge vaccines this kind of guy yeah sounds like a weird word yeah that that
sounds like applying it I can look to the actual article because I always save
the link just to check those kind of discrepancies it sounds like an
injection right she would but yeah it was a vaccination but then it would make sense
just the one I did not keep the link it's okay in any case all right she's
doing something wrong with the vaccines so when they tested the affected
children's blood it was discovered that many didn't have the antibodies that
would be expected from receiving those vaccines feels like a smoking gun yep
weird so legal case sensors on the nurses falsification of vaccine records
which showed jabs had been administered when they allegedly hadn't and the
misuse of public funds by throwing away unused medicine mmm yeah it seems like a
big word to say misuse of public funds when you're just throwing out some
vaccines but sure well yeah of course you bought them all yeah yeah yeah I mean I
agree with I agree that's it's just misuse of funds throwing them away when
yeah these things can save lives the Spanish media has reported that up to
400 children could be affected hmm yeah so the last note in this article is like
anti-vaccine sentiment is generally rare in Spain yeah they have the second
highest rate of public confidence in vaccines in the European Union after
Portugal yeah Spanish government statistics show that uptake of most
infant vaccinations is more than 90% so good numbers yeah I will point out
though yeah okay that the Basque health system is separate from the Spanish yeah
although the vaccine thing I think was done nationally yeah yeah that's a whole
thing together but yeah we yeah and perhaps other vaccinations as well like
no well Bella and what are the MR MRM it's rubella mumps and measles right you
got it son of a nurse for some reason I'm a daughter of a nurse sorry that's
what I meant like my dude friend Julie like all right so okay so Douglas was
unable to find many stories so I'm gonna tell the rest of the stories okay it is
true comments about this nurse before we move on no I was just gonna say just in
general that yeah I mean that I was I had a big problem during the COVID times
ethically with with the fact that the Spanish government took over the Basque
health system and I thought that was unwarranted and it was just an
interference in our business there are other aspects like buying vaccines
together where not only did the Basque country get together with Spain to buy
vaccines but different nations in Europe got together to buy right and bigger
batches right and of course I'm up for that but but they all they took it over
for I don't exactly remember how long it was something like two months you know
during the first outbreak of of the of COVID yeah and I just didn't like that I
mean I trust in Osaka that said to make the right moves and I think it's just
confusing and yeah it wasn't yeah I mean I imagine it was just a collaboration
because it was so out of control and there were so many deaths here too it
was pretty high on the deaths in terms of Europe yeah but like you know it wasn't
it wasn't unusual more than anywhere else like the Basque country specifically
wasn't bad no you know no just Spain and yeah because of the number of older
people it's just a general consequence so yeah that's that's my thing you know I
wish they had just left to Sake that's alone and that that was irritating I
didn't like that okay I wanted to register all right what do you think of
this nurse though thinking that it's ridiculous weird right I mean I mean it's
it's it's fake news right that's the cause of that is fake news what do you
mean it's it's because Facebook has so many weird like disinformation
misinformation yeah yeah so I mean it's not something that I think I don't think
it's something that would naturally occur here you know to for the
antivaxxers to just sort of start movement or anything mm-hmm so I see it
kind of like as an outside influence in the beginning although now you know
there's people who firmly are skeptical yeah and it's an unfortunate situation
particularly with the COVID vaccine yeah but like the other childhood vaccines
that everybody gets these days and developed countries the danger is that
that would spread right yeah that people would be more and more reluctant to get
vaccines and that's an issue in general but I don't think it's a specific
concern for the best country yeah yeah it sounds like 18 months it turns out
it's the only thing she can do really huh like did she go into the field for
this like was this her her whole project yeah I'm gonna go to nursing school I'm
gonna go ahead do all the grueling hours I'm gonna get the grit the marks you
need to get into nursing school yeah just to do this like how do you pass it
you have to go and you go I don't believe in this but the correct answer
would be this yeah she'd know the correct answer but you know it depends
how young there if she was super young I could believe that she's probably just
change her mind at some point I would suppose maybe yeah perhaps yeah I know
I do one I hope yeah perhaps yeah she'd been working for a long time and it was
just in this period of 18 months something changed her mind and she
decided it could be specific to COVID vaccines because there's a lot of no it
was you didn't say anything about being COVID vaccines more like those childhood
ones really yeah yeah I misunderstood that she has to be dealt with that's
dangerous I mean who cares about COVID right but measles I know right there's
new outbreaks because of those things and then people haven't been vaccinated
get it you know it's a mess it's a mess yeah good it's good that the system's
dealing with this problem can't believe that got away with 400 children yeah
maybe it's not too late to maybe they caught it oh it's a they want me yeah
it's all those now all those things are pretty low when you were supposed to get
it yeah we don't have many cases so it should be addressable now yeah and they
will have that list of whoever she treated right yeah it's a question of
just going and then it sounds like it tested several kids mm-hmm and it was
not too long ago right no this is an October when they filed the lawsuit
right so they'll or made the reporter they denounced her how do you say that
they reported her yeah all right so interesting so this story I feel like
we had a story similar to this on another cheeky soda about a squid that
appeared on a beach right a giant squid maybe it was a dead giant squid
something recalls yeah yeah well this was a dolphin oh poor baby I know on a
beach in Deba mm-hmm so this dolphin appeared on this beach in April mm-hmm
and apparently a year ago like a year from this time there were there was a
whale that had beached on the same beach okay and a bunch of people that were at
the beach kind of got it back into the water and it's assumed that it found its
way back to its herd or whatever okay but on this occasion this year so that
was a year ago was a dolphin and people also tried to save it I tried to put it
back into the water mm-hmm but they you know it just kind of ended up dying so
they this is a quote from one of the bystanders or whoever was trying to
help the dolphin you he they gave it the pronoun he mm-hmm he was with uh oh no
this person was with the chip with some children his kids or something we saw
him at the edge of the water and we tried to take him into deeper waters and
at one point used a like a piece of material to help move it okay like a
tower or something yeah trying to move it back into the water yeah because then
you can you can have two or three people can try lift it together yeah and so
they did manage to get him into an area where there was enough water for him to
swim yeah so they did give the dolphin the male pronoun he moved he wag this is
the quote he moved he waggled but with hardly any strength he did not advance
and after a short time he turned on his side and allowed himself to be carried
away by the water until he ended up on the shore again where he died
poor bubba yeah and they were saying that this is a striped dolphin it's a
species that inhabits the waters of temperate or tropical zones around the
world totally out of place yeah and their size and shape is similar to that
of other dolphins that inhabit the same waters however their coloration makes
them easy to sting distinguish the underside or the ventral part is white
or pink but this one had dark too dark yeah too dark blue strands or blue bands
mm-hmm that start from behind the ears and end on the pectoral fins mm-hmm yeah
like yeah we're googling yeah pictures it looks like a beautiful dolphin so
this one often moves in large groups so it's kind of weird that it's out of
place like on its own and alone yeah well but a poor baby yeah well I have to
say here though how weird I've never seen a dolphin here have you or whales
but I know there are whales there are seen I've never seen one no I haven't
either I mean we have to remember they were
hunted extensively in the best country so it's kind of understandable yeah but
here I just clicked on the Wikipedia and it does show like that this area would
have the of this K would be it's okay so it's definitely the northern and
I mean I think it goes up to about England temperate would would it fit into
temperate climate right maybe it's one of those where if it's like winter they
might not be here you know and they'd go to warmer waters and then in summer they
come up here because yeah that could be the case yeah it's definitely heating up
yes yes so they thought maybe this was the tropics I don't know imagine that
maybe that was maybe maybe the more the sea was too warm and it thought they
were somewhere else who knows hmm yeah all right so I'm gonna tell this other
story because I saw so many of these stories when I was searching so they're
really concerned right now about the security of security guards particularly
on public transport no because there have been like an uptick in assaults on
these security guards and I had been thinking a lot because of our last story
about what was his name cold though that I'm Yaga the guy that killed the the
serial killer that killed the four people in our last story in Victoria
remember Douglas you were there I told you the whole story that guy right that
guy I just didn't recognize just terrible at names yeah but yes the one
that killed remember he like he was kind of like a con man and a hustler yeah but
one of his jobs that he did after being a bass teacher was a security guard so
it got me thinking about like the job of a security guard and I don't want to
like throw any shade at people that work as security guards but they always kind
of seem a bit sketchy right like you couldn't be a cop but yeah you want to
have some sort of position of authority mm-hmm so I don't know I this story caught
my eye yeah I would say it's it's a role that some people might gravitate to
maybe not the best more than others like I would never want to be a security
guard yeah no would you I mean I'm a doorman so yeah I'm sorry I know yeah I've
never been interested in violence at all yeah I'm there to keep the peace and you
know and in my books I'm clearly just there to kind of tell people what the
situation or what they can or can't yeah like it can't come in or not right but
like when it's a security guard somebody doing something wrong and they're
already in the place basically you don't have any other authority than to say
don't do that exactly I have to call the cops yeah right yeah so yeah that's what
this is about is that there's they're trying to get more I don't know what
they're trying to accomplish like what they would want a security guards to
have it's kind of just being talked about right now because there was a um
these have all been kind of happening in the same area on the Renfe train okay
one agent had to receive medical attention from being pushed onto the
ground they got attacked in the there was a group in San Sebastian port on
what some group of kids or young people attacked this guard and another one was
attacked in a supermarket in a room these all seem to be happening in Kaputkwa
yeah at the end of March but this most recent one so they're calling it like an
increase in these assaults on security guards that are primarily well no this
one was in Renfe there two of them were in Renfe and the other one was off the
port and the other one was in the supermarket right so they're very so
they kind of find themselves to be defenseless because they're they can't
they don't really have any real authority yeah like you can't actually
tell somebody you can tell somebody stop doing that mm-hmm but you don't really
have the law I guess on your side you have like the public you have the
private institution that you work for's mm-hmm permission to tell people what to
do mm-hmm but like literally you can't arrest anyone no you can't detain anyone
right like so this one that was most recent was a the the security guard got
attacked by a group of people who were smoking on the train mm-hmm oh my gosh
yeah so went to tell them to stop smoking and they attacked wow intense so
yeah there's all these unions like saying come on we need to but I'm not
sure what they really want yeah it's a hard one cuz like I don't know what they
want like do you want you don't want to give them guns you don't want to give
them don't want to use ours or yeah you know like things like that because I'd
be happy with some more protective gear but how much is that gonna help right
yeah cuz it's not like gun violence it's just people know cushion and maybe some
punches yeah and it was for smoking sort of things it's always like these minor
and I guess like the thing in the supermarket was somebody maybe shop
lifting or something that's something clearly against the law like you were
saying sure shoplifting is against the law but it's not that thing as well yes
but these things are not super you know you're not putting the public in danger
by shoplifting or smoking on a train in the sense that like you're not still
breaking passed with yeah but you're not tasked with you know having to stop
somebody from causing harm to others and perhaps there are cases where that is
the case I don't know what that kind of policy would be if they're supposed to
intervene or not yeah they might not be yeah supposed to intervene and just call
people but I've seen security guards so many times too that are just like taking
their authority way too far to the umpteenth level right yeah interrogating
people like you are clearly I've seen it happen where it's like a clearly racial
bias like you know so I also have my issues there what's that you want it's
a similar one to the police right like they have for telling kids to stop
sitting on some steps hmm yeah that's and it's like what were the kids doing
they were just sitting on some steps hanging out you know yeah I mean I think
there's so many issues there you know like there's humans and power and how
easy it is to just not know how to use it or use it too much there's a lot of
issues there training and then psychological appropriateness of a job to
people mm-hmm yeah it's you know I think the solution would be just for all to be
robots but we're not quite there yet but you know what would the robot do I mean
it would number one nobody's worried about if it's that smoking yeah
extinguish the cigarette just make it really annoying
GPT that would be actually good look just make it really annoying for them to
just be on the train the security guards can do that too they can take a whistle
and start they wouldn't be any physical danger like the robot could be on the
floor going beep beep beep beep this person is smoking I think you're being
disparaging towards robots there Julia with that voice my 1980s ruling us soon
we have to be nice to them we don't be nicer robots they don't have feelings
why not sure and you're not sure either they might yes let's leave the options
open yeah it's okay in your world that robot would come up and try to like you
know like try to talk them down like do you really need to have a cigarette
right now just try to defuse the situation I mean I'm just how would they
intervene I think the first request would be a request no second one would
be what I'm really sorry it seems like you didn't notice you were in a train
would you mind turning off the cigarette and the second one according to law
number 774 sanctions include this well why not right you gotta use I am going
to be forced to intervene physically now and the police have been called well
yeah maybe yeah the police will be meeting you at the next stop I have
identified you as Jose yeah yeah that's right facial recognition I am sending
take a 300 euro fine to your house yeah in this right exact moment
okay see it lots of possibilities that's that story okay get some Tesla bots on
let's see what other one was doing a train from now on okay this one do you
have anything else you want to say about the security guards go robots stay on
brands all right so in Kaputka four people were arrested for identity theft
in the theoretical driving test okay identity theft wait for it is it like
you're taking the exam for me yes oh my gosh that is hilarious so two of the
defendants traveled from Navarra and Barcelona to take the exam in place of
the real candidates or the okay but we're supposed to be taking a lot of
work here yeah so they've arrested four people between the ages of 37 and 50 for
impersonating their identity upon payment so they got paid in order to
pass the driving test in best saying how do you say they assign and as PTA
hmm yeah yeah I did not want to take the fucking theoretical test I mean I feel it
like if I could just get so I can drive but I don't have my driver's license yet
which is like a shame because I know how to drive okay so you're you don't have
a lot of license here because I have to take the test I gotta do some driving
testing and I passed both the practical and this was a story for you
not suggestion Julie would come and I'll just study for the stupid test
the right way yeah so they paid some people to go take this test because what
a pain in the ass to have to take this test weird like because like on the one
hand I would I would assume like younger people are not very good at driving and
maybe young people would do that but at 40 50 year old no these are the ones
that are we're arrested that we're taking the test being paid to take the
test so maybe it was for like a 20 so I think it was yeah I don't know I have to
check interesting I don't know who because that would make more sense right
like people are driving less and less and yeah and you could have been older
too because it's quite expensive as well I mean you could be paying up to like a
thousand euros just to get take through one theoretical test and all the
driving practice right and then you take the practice driving test so yeah it's
very expensive here okay get your driver's license I know people a lot of
people travel out because every municipality yeah so people go to
different areas yeah to take it because it's a lot cheaper than the country yeah
so but that's not illegal it's fine you know right to just national Galicia and
take yes in Galicia because it's cheaper I actually considered it I thought about
maybe I'll just go spend a month in Cantabria take some time I actually
didn't know you didn't have a valid license here I'm surprised because you
know Americans I know and I miss driving a lot crazy but I really don't I mean
one way of her drive but I do kind of miss the idea that I could rent a car if
I wanted to you know these kind of things that's when I'm like damn it and
yeah and I miss driving and I would like to be able to drive but anyway so um
Gran Turismo there was two Pakistanis the four people that were arrested two of
them were Pakistani and two were sub-saharan okay age 37 39 40 and 50
I'm glad they're so good at passing I know and like in yeah and they're
they're taking it in another language not their native language that's pretty
good just kind of like that's half the reason you probably didn't do it right
you're like I heard you could take it in English but like I have an app I mean
imagine that practice exams and it's all in Spanish so I might as well learn
right you know whatever the what do you call it I'm sure you could like spot
like five mistakes in exam yeah because they're always trying to trick you too
it's always like a multiple choice question so they're always trying to
trip you up you know horrible yeah like in most choice exams so that you also
have to think that way too like they're trying to trip you up by say by picking
the wrong one like it's like if this happens should you pull off on an exit
and stop and one time I selected that for example in one of these practice
exams it was like no you should actually continue don't stop on the pull on the
exit get off the exit and go somewhere where you can stop so that was like the
trick yeah it's like okay yeah I guess so you have to read it literally like
don't stop on an exit which I would never do but then when you're thinking
about it in your head you're probably thinking there's a there's an extra bit
on the road and you get off the main road you know to be on the side yeah and
that would be safer I can't remember what the actual answer was but hmm but I
just remember getting that wrong like to exit the freeway or whatever the motorway
well not got it wrong because it's like I stopped in the exit which is like I
would never stop in the exit I mean let it be registered I don't drive never
have never tried to pass not interested um so but also one of these guys hmm the
okay so they have an maybe they weren't taking it in they had help from the
outside while taking the exam oh they didn't even know it themselves yeah
that's what this in this case because I'm gonna tell you how one of them did
it okay so the examiner's detected that another applicant used an electronic
device made up of a Wi-Fi router a portable external battery and a micro
camera located located on his shirt Wow and a small size telephone through
which he received responses via vibrations in the form of a more morse
code Wow Morse code that's well I'll tell you what the Morse code oh it's
like one two three four answer is a one vibration is B2 and C3 is that how much
is that Morse codes I know no I it's not maybe it is for numbers maybe I don't
know interesting any yes and then the investigators learned that this man
oh so this is a different one it's not the Pakistani or sub-saharan it's a
Moroccan man was paid two thousand euros to do this exam it's a good amount
of money yeah wow nice gig that guy really want to take the exam huh yeah
yeah so there you go I mean I think everybody's gonna start it's not start
everyone you stop driving soon anyway so yeah that's the point definitely not
I like driving I would like to continue driving I enjoy it I love driving in
games it's hilarious yeah especially like dying flying off
sides so fun in VR recommended to everybody all right shall we do a final
story let's go one was my favorite of all okay okay and this is a Florida man
so it's finally you had a Columbia one I've got a Florida man story Florida man
story is a genre yes it is we have to have a Florida man and I was fucking
stoked to find out his surname was Basque yes I can tell this story man
running from cops stops to pet cats goes to jail
it's a crime to arrest the man petting a cat well he wasn't arrested for that he
was sure no no no I'll tell you the story okay I'm gonna just gonna read
this to you okay but while I'm in is petting a cat it should be illegal to
rest yeah yeah leave the cats alone sir step away from the cat but I'm betting
I'm betting we have a situation here three hours the man does not stop
cats like calm down so therapeutic he's running away he's running away what is
happening here okay so police say the Florida man led them on quite a chase
all right all right a Bokum a raton man last week who was in the middle of
fleeing police stopped by a home asked for water and then proceeded to lay
down and play with the homeowners cats lay down what kind of house some
stranger comes up to you lays down on the floor and it's penny my cats I'm not
so sure about that which essentially is what kind of caught so I'll tell you
this Florida right weird place yeah I got a visit very Florida no never been to
Florida curious I am very really curious yeah I do want to go to Florida someday
I want to see this this 1920s architecture yeah and then the bird I just want to see yeah
I mean and it's like in the Caribbean essentially too so it's like a lot of
pretty places as well got all those alligators like that's fucking crazy yeah
my grandfather loved watching the birds like yeah it's like tropicals like
tropical yeah yeah I follow a few plants channels on YouTube hmm and the
gardens they tour down in Florida beautiful yeah they have things from all
the tropics and yeah looks like a really cool yeah yeah it's a shame about their
politics she yes exactly the DeSantis is in charge that fucker
oh that's a mini crime I know and I don't want to get political but man that
man makes me so mad anyway so the man okay so the man was accused of taking
$2,000 out of a friend's wallet following a night of partying then he
crashed a Lexus into multiple vehicles including a cop car and fire hydrant and
then he ran into this residential area so right the cops were I know they hit
he hit a cop car what a mess yeah so everybody all the cops were following
him right so the book of Riton and the Delray Beach police departments were on
his tail I hear a lot of heavy steps yeah so the man walked up to Candice
Noonan's backsliding glass door and let himself in okay so he just let himself
into this woman's house another crime saying that he was a landscaper working
next door he asked her for a glass of water and she obliged what a generous
woman I know she's like oh okay he must be thirsty so when she returned with the
water the man was lying down on the floor playing with her cats and then
this is her quote it was very odd I mean this guy's on something come on he's
crashing into police so when Noonan's husband tried to question the man he
fled outside and tried to get away from police by diving into the intercoastal
waterway he dived in some water okay the crew on board a police boat landed him
like caught him uh-huh and then they took him to jail so yeah so his name is
Daniel Pinedo Pinedo and so I looked up the surname which is in you know it
sounds like Castile yeah yeah it's Pinedo Vela Patino this is full name
so this is a it's Basque I looked up the surname origin Basque habitual name from
Pinedo a town in Alaba mmm which is a province of the best country how
interesting and the name is comes from a variant like a pine forest or it comes
from a variant of Pineda which means pine forest okay Pinedo is a variant of
that name and it's the name of a town right yeah so he was 21 he now faces a
long list of charges including burglary of an occupied dwelling so that's him
walking into our house I suppose three counts of drug possession three counts
of assault hit and run and grand theft auto among others he's 21 he's a baby
but he loves cats you gotta love that redeeming he's got to get at least two
years off of his sentence because of the cat he's got a big heart yeah he's like
oh look how cute your little cats are that is adorable I mean I love cats but
I don't throw myself on the floor not if I'm running from the cops I would throw
myself on the floor not if I'm running from the cops in the middle of a that
boy's not that boy's not well proof baby no he probably was on drugs it did say
that the night before he was at a party and stole two thousand dollars from his
buddy I know that's a fun wallet to have a party so I'd be happy to be partying
with somebody with two thousand dollars in there I know who carries
dollars in their wallet never heard of credit cards down there yeah sketchy
totally sketchy but it but a good story I liked it nice and nice and lightweight
yeah it was diving into water nobody died yeah I mean it was quite the chase
right crashing the Alexis into the three cars and a cop car and a fire hydrant I
wonder if the fire hydrant like exploded the water yeah the classic
movies that's definitely gonna do that in reconstruction yeah I mean it's very
charismatic coming out like so you're working next door I didn't know the
Miller's were doing any work in there yeah I see no work so he stole so from
that house did he take the glass I think I don't know like that's the weird thing
is that was the report he stole something from the no oh you mean the
burglary charge that charge I think it's just entering her house oh that's
considered burglary well walking in I would say I yeah now that you know it's
like breaking and entering kind of thing like letting yourself into somebody's
house it's not your house but that's considered burglary it's just for me
bro it feels like it should be stealing well maybe the glass of water they're
like we're charged with the glass of water wait a second it is because the
burglary is stealing like legitimately yeah but I think you could probably get
charged with burglary just for entering a property that's not yours mm-hmm
trespassing or something that that's the word I was looking for our forceful
entry yeah forced entry that's kind of word is what I would call it but yeah
but he didn't he must have just it was open so he just walked in maybe I don't
know is that excuse I don't think it's an excuse well no of course not yeah not
forced entry but yeah I think I see what you mean I guess yeah it wasn't forced
but it wasn't a burglary either someone's home it was less of a burglary but I
love that she like obliged him like I'm okay yeah sure I mean if you've got a
stranger in your house I think I just obliged to get him out of here as fast
as possible I don't know she left him alone right went to go get the glass of
water and they came back and he was on the floor like a nice lady that was just
like oh okay yeah sure only Florida ten points Floridians well Americans are
kind of friendly like that most well I shouldn't say that because there's a lot
of stories where they're not friendly but there's a lot of friendly stories
but there are a lot of friendly people yes I was shocked by friendliness in
America no they're really friendly yeah I remember it because like people say
Bilbao is a very serious town like people don't smile a lot they're
suspect no like you know for me it's just I mean I I worked in bars for years
and years and so I like that you know my it's a little bit of a selfish point of
view but from my point of view nobody's paying me to get some smiles in my face
right yeah yeah you don't have to kiss anyone's ass yeah and if I'm just
serving you I'm comfortable not smiling most of the time I'll give people a mini
smile but I don't want like free lines on my face for strangers so I can like
that and then I go to to New York and I stayed at my friend's house first
morning right after the airport arrival thing go out the street good morning
beautiful day and I'm like I thought New York was supposed to be like yeah
resting bitch face as well but no it was super friendly now I remember going to
New York to expecting them to be rude because it was a big city and being
surprised that much really friendly and helpful much friendlier than the bow for
sure oh yeah for sure for sure so yeah ten points everybody ten points hope you
guys enjoyed the the story cheeky so whether or not it was cheeky well yeah
that remains to be seen but it's cheeky in our hearts thanks for joining us for
another episode oh do we have a mini crime oh did anyone think of a mini
crime didn't you think of well it's not really a mini crime this is talking
about some old lady that is a thematic from the crime because we've had a
security guard in the metro already so it's appropriate so I was on the metro
and this lady was sending a text on her phone mm-hmm but made you know made sure
that she was first in line to get out the doors of the metro on you know
leaving the metro right so it was like blocking the door with herself and
wanted to be the first one out which is acceptable if you're paying attention
fine like if she yeah if you got up there first fine go leave you'd be the
first one out but she just kept texting and it was like we're at the stop she
wouldn't open the door and there's all these people standing behind her yeah
open the door lady we all have to leave but she was fizzy finishing her text
crime yeah but I imagine I mean she did eventually push the button and open the
door but three seconds but I was so it's more about it's a crime because I was
irritated is it is it having to like especially because somebody runs yeah
like somebody runs up to the door to be the first one out you know what I mean
you kind of you all she did that I didn't well yeah like it's one of these
people that like goes I'm gonna be first one out you know like and makes their
way right to the door because everyone's moving toward the door yeah so it's
obvious several people are getting off at this stop especially the main stop
but she made sure she got right there but then go back to her texting yeah so I
guess it's not that big of a crime tension crime it's just like this crime
politeness crime yeah yeah well you know if you're not in that big of a hurry you
know in general to the front people are quite nice in the metro though yeah but
I still get really irritated by people that when you're trying to leave they
just start coming in yeah that's just like that drives me like and I lived in
Tokyo for some time and they had the markings on the on the floor always and
you'd have a place for like in right in front of the door which is like don't
stand here because people are gonna exit the car and then next to on both sides
you had a little little line yeah for queue up here yeah until everybody's
left because off the train yeah making room on the train I can't leave because
people are in front of me right and I'm like come on guys yeah nobody learn
about the Japanese no it's just insane to me I don't get it I don't get it either like let
people off first and then go in you know yeah I know I get the pressure I am I'm
I like to be the the guy opening door and I'm always like pressing before like
when it's for arriving I'm like just for everybody to see that I'm I'm I'm really
trying we're not gonna wait one second to further as soon as it's able to open
it's gonna come open I make all getting out of here I make a little bit of a show
I'm always like click click click click click click click click click so nobody
gets the seconds too late off the train and especially if you race to be the
first one yeah yeah you should definitely be on the door duty that lady's in your
black opening the door for everyone else black books alright Douglas well it's
always a pleasure spending this time with you and exchanging crimes of the
