00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Bat bi hiru lau

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Watch your back, watch your back

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Ertzaintza's is gonna get you

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Watch your back, watch your back

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Ertzaintza's gonna get you

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Watch your back, watch your back

7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Oh, there's a crime here

8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
It's a coming from the Eskal Herria

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Gotta wash those red hands

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
It's the crimes of the basquelands

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
It's the crimes of the basquelands

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Musker

13
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
So not going very in-depth into stories

14
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Just talking about what's been happening around this part of the world

15
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Or in the world

16
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Also

17
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
With other bascos

18
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Exactly

19
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And you're gonna have the first story

20
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Yeah, my first story is

21
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Okay, so when it comes to these cheeky soles

22
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
I figure if I'm gonna talk about something really horrible

23
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Let's go with it at the beginning

24
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And then we can go out

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
With a nicer, lighter

26
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,280
Oh right, yeah. It makes sense. We'll end on more of a lighter note, okay?

27
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,720
Yeah. So this really horrible story is out of Oriol, which is also in Cibutua.

28
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:12,120
It's not too far from San Sebastian. Okay. Down the coast I've been to Oriol, have you?

29
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:18,560
I don't think so. On the coast you say though. Yeah, it's like along the Camino de Santiago.

30
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:27,080
So I've been doing separate routes along the Camino from starting in

31
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,280
D'Nosti and then I do different etapas or stages I guess I should say. Oh really? Oh that's sweet.

32
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:39,680
So with Bobby, so we take you know to one city and then we'll stop there and have lunch and then

33
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,520
the next time we'll take the train to that city where we stopped and do the next stage. Yeah.

34
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:52,640
To the next city and have lunch. Beautiful. Beautiful. So and Oriol is this little you know

35
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,800
small town on the coast. It is very sweet. Just along from D'Nosti really. And Zarauz. Yeah.

36
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,960
Was that one day for you guys? That's the first stage that was the first time. For the people to

37
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:11,920
understand the Camino de Santiago goes to Santiago de Compostela in St. James. St. James yeah.

38
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:21,880
Of Compostela which is this town in Galicia. And so it's a very old thing but like in 70s or 80s

39
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:29,200
nobody was doing it. Like you would go to this as a kind of religious procession. Right pilgrimage.

40
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,120
Pilgrimage. Thank you. So anyway in the 80s it wasn't really happening until somebody wrote a

41
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:40,160
book. Yes. I think it was this. There's a book, there's a movie. Some Brazilian guy I think. Anyway

42
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:47,360
it sold the this one interior one is the one that got popularized first. Oh. And so because of that

43
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:53,760
it has pretty regular hotels like every 15 kilometers. Yeah hostels. Exactly. They're more

44
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,920
like yeah hostile type situation where you're sleeping in like dorm kind of situation with

45
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,280
bunk beds. Originally. That's the thing though. Like originally. But they still are. They do. Yeah.

46
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,600
A lot of them are still like that. You still do. But it's up to you really where you want to stay. Yeah you can stay

47
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,560
wherever you want. Exactly. But because there's lots. But you get like a discount if you're on the.

48
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:20,000
Sometimes depending on the hotel you place. Right. But if it's a like a municipal hostel thing you

49
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,160
there's all sorts of discounts and it's really cheap to do which why a lot of people do it. Yeah.

50
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,720
Anyway I did the southern one because well first because my friend was doing. All the way to Galicia.

51
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,960
From Burgos. Really? That was what? So you did the whole thing to Santiago. Yeah it was like 21 days.

52
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:42,600
Wow. I didn't know that. So but what was funny as well though was so so this friend of mine.

53
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:51,400
Bridey. Hi Bridey. Hi. I don't know who you are but hi. You know she's Australian and we met studying

54
00:04:51,400 --> 00:05:00,080
Japanese in Japan. Okay. And so anyway so she she was when we went we went down to Burgos she lasted

55
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,960
like two or three days and she was like okay I'm just gonna get a bus. I'll meet you there. Yeah.

56
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:19,960
But then. And then you walked the whole. I just walked the rest of the way. Oh my god. Because the whole thing of the Camino is for me I found extremely addictive which is you kind of get up in the morning you see some people.

57
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:30,040
I can see how that is. And then you say hi and then you kind of have lunch and you see other people and then you get to the evening to the next place and

58
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:42,040
then you settle in and then you might see that those people that you were walking to and said hi to you during the day might be sleeping there or you might have dinner together or just have a drink afterwards in the bar.

59
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:56,520
And it's just this moving community of people. Yeah. Yeah. Plus there was a lot of Camino love in my group. So. Oh. Things happening. Spicy. Exactly. Exactly. Canadians meeting Americans.

60
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:09,040
Americans meeting Europeans. It was very interesting. They don't talk about that in the movie. No. No. There's also all sorts of Caminos. That was the best. So. It was a hook up scene.

61
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Yeah. Nothing concrete happened with me but there was tension in there. It was quite fine. I had no idea. You actually did it. Really recommend it.

62
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:36,480
Well this story was the 17th of May at around 5 20 p.m. Some middle of the day on Aranzale Street. Fisherman's right outside of a children's park.

63
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:45,440
There was a woman sitting on a bench who was approached by her ex partner. They had planned to meet apparently.

64
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:59,040
People who knew them. There was a what sounded like an explosion and then their two bodies were just bloody and horrible right there on the street.

65
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:11,920
But it turned out that her ex partner had come and shot her with a sawed off shotgun and then killed himself directly after. Wow.

66
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:21,320
So this woman. Shocking. Yes. Shocking. Of course. Like in the middle of the street right next to a kids park like a little playground.

67
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:28,320
Now I realize the relevance of that piece of information. Yeah. It's just like oh my gosh. Poor people. Yeah.

68
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:36,920
So her name was Maria Lourdes Del Oyo. She was a native of San Sebastian but she was a resident of Oreo.

69
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:45,720
She was 47 and a mother of two. A 16 year old and a 20 year old. Oh man. So and these were from a previous relationship though.

70
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:54,720
So this person this ex partner of hers they'd only dated for a year and then the relationship ended.

71
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:04,440
And it sounds like it sounds like they had planned to meet for whatever reason. And then he just came and killed her. Wow.

72
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:13,000
And then killed himself. The man who committed the crime was Alberto Casado. He was born in Oreo and he was about 50.

73
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,720
He was a fisherman and a futsal coach. I don't know what that means. Futsal is like football de sala.

74
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,840
So it's football that's indoors. OK. So I don't know what you call that in English.

75
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:35,840
He lived just like 200 meters from where this happened. Apparently he had a coffee in a bar nearby before he went and did this.

76
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,880
And so like the sound of it made a lot of the neighbors think that it was an explosion.

77
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:49,840
The sound of it made it. They're like oh my God there's an explosion. So they sent the or China sent out like a bomb squad.

78
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:56,840
Right. To investigate first to see what the heck happened. And apparently he was carrying it in like a shoe box.

79
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:05,680
A big shoe box. Yeah. OK. And it turned out it was a a gun that was a sawed off shotgun that was registered in his name.

80
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:13,000
That he was the registered owner and legally possessed but had manipulated it to make it illegal.

81
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:19,400
So had no like no background of violence or anything.

82
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:25,520
You know but I was you know I think she had never called him out for violence.

83
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:32,320
Right. Like pressed any charges against him for violence. He had no former charges for violence.

84
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:42,800
But I often think like so many people don't report that stuff. Yeah. You know like if it happens in the relationship they often just say oh OK.

85
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,080
No I'm done. I'm out. You know I'm not putting up with this. So they just leave.

86
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,960
They've got enough. So maybe that's what happened here. Like she's got enough space to do that sometimes.

87
00:09:52,960 --> 00:10:00,320
Yeah. It's too late even. Yeah. So maybe she she left when it looked like he might be violent and. Yeah.

88
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Wow. That's so sad. Yeah. Very sad. So that's the first story I had.

89
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,200
And so that's the worst story I have for today. So there you go. I got the bad one out of the way.

90
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,960
But it was very shocking. Yeah. Really shocking. Like in the middle of a very small town I don't even know how big it is.

91
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,560
Tiny. Yeah. Just from the map it's really small. You can see it's tiny.

92
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:29,560
Literally I'm sure a lot of people knew them. Like just really. It's like 10 streets across and seven streets.

93
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:37,040
Yeah. It's nothing. That's about it. Yeah. But no. Yeah. Well my feelings go out to the family poor children.

94
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:44,280
And of course like a lot of these cases there's been a huge outcry with machista crimes. Yeah.

95
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:50,840
Like this has got to stop these partners killing their ex-partners. Yeah. Sort of thing. Yeah.

96
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:58,680
So they're having. So there's lots of protests and memorials and. That's nice to hear. Vigils and stuff.

97
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:04,800
Yeah. Yeah. People here are so nice about that. But really. Well people are fed up with hearing about this.

98
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:10,960
It's like she was number something in machista crimes of this year. It's a good thing to keep track.

99
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:23,280
OK. The number of women murdered by gender violence in Spain rises to 18 this year and to 1,202 since the statistics began in 2003.

100
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:32,080
So in Uxca the issue was the first woman murdered in 2023. OK. That's good. Good to know. I mean it is almost middle of the year.

101
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:41,760
But yeah I've read also yeah that the stats here are much lower than the rest of the state. That's good to know. Yeah.

102
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:59,560
All right. We're back. We're back. OK. So this story is not all that crazy but it's kind of crazy.

103
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:13,480
Had it happened. Yeah. Anyway. So a. Let's see. The roof of a Pueblo Deportivo which is like a sports center or like a gym gym.

104
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:20,560
Like a municipal gym. It collapsed. Oh my gosh. Why are you laughing.

105
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:30,400
Was anybody hurt. No nobody was hurt. We can laugh. Yeah it happened in the early hours like around 7 a.m.

106
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:37,920
So before it was even open. Good. But the. So it collapsed. Some neighbors heard it.

107
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:47,680
OK. Still not getting the last. Well I mean just that they heard it and they were getting testimonials from residents around the area.

108
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:54,480
So it happened around 7 in the morning and it was closed. Right. So the because it occurred at that time nobody was hurt.

109
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:06,080
So it was like in the court of like a paddle court. Paddle is a sport that's very popular here but it's like it's kind of like.

110
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:13,160
It's kind of like racquetball or squash. It's like a similar type of for those of you know those types of sports.

111
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:20,920
It's like a closed in court with walls. So you hit the wall with a ball. You're speaking to our heterosexual listeners.

112
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:27,160
I used to play racquetball. I have level four racquetball. Wow. University. Look at that.

113
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,680
It was always my extra credit that I would get pass or fail.

114
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:38,520
So I'd try to fit in like a credit that I could get to get my student aid your financial aid. Oh right.

115
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:48,360
In order to get the financial aid you had to be a full time student. So you would have to be so many credits per semester.

116
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,280
So I used to you know think OK I'm working and I've got to go to school.

117
00:13:53,280 --> 00:14:04,360
So I had to I did some hard classes make maybe four hard classes but I still had a couple of credits that I needed to fulfill to get the student or the financial aid.

118
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:10,360
So it would always be like a sport. So I did like snowboarding or I did racquetball for four years.

119
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:17,240
So I was like the highest level of racquetball. Anyway paddle is much like racquetball. It's in that type of court.

120
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:24,600
OK. Yeah. So the ceiling collapsed into this court and nobody was there.

121
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:33,480
Nobody got hurt. And yeah they and it did not interrupt any of the other classes for the worst for the day.

122
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,720
At the time it collapsed and they just continued with the other like OK well that court's out of commission.

123
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,320
So it's not do P.E. but nobody can rent out the paddle court for this day.

124
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,640
But they did have other classes. I thought it was funny in the sense that well nobody got hurt.

125
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,560
You know so it's good there. It's very good for that. All right.

126
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,040
Do you have a story for us. I do. We're continuing a theme here.

127
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,480
OK. Nicaragua back to Nicaragua. Yes.

128
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:08,040
Nicaragua and again priests. All right. Ortega.

129
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,520
He's been changing his mind a lot. Ortega.

130
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:20,280
If you read the Wikipedia it's pretty random right. He's like he was just killing priests at first and then he outlawed abortion.

131
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,880
Total 180. And now he's putting priests in jail again. OK. Right.

132
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:32,200
So this is what happened. He put two people were sent to jail to two sacerdotes.

133
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,920
So I'm translating sacerdotes as priests. Yeah I think it is.

134
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,360
And I think we're talking about the Catholic church. So we call them priests. Right.

135
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,280
So this is a church in Managua the capital.

136
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:54,280
The two people who were taken to prison was Eugenio Rodriguez Benavides

137
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,800
and Leonardo Guevara Gutierrez. And you wouldn't have thought it right. But Guevara.

138
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,240
Yeah I didn't know that. Guevara means just under the top of the mountain.

139
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:10,640
So not quite at the top of the mountain. OK. At first they denied that these guys were even in prison.

140
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:17,080
And then after a couple of days where they had disappeared and people were like well.

141
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,000
They just disappeared. Yeah. And then eventually they were secretly arrested.

142
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,920
They confirmed that they were under arrest. Oh my gosh.

143
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,400
They are accused of being involved with an NGO.

144
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:37,080
Now the reason why I'm very skeptical is because we were just checking.

145
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:46,680
Just this this article actually says more than 3500 NGOs have been closed by the Nicaraguan government over the last few years.

146
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:54,440
So it's not like this NGO certainly did anything wrong. I think he's just angry at NGOs.

147
00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:02,240
So yeah. Trouble brewing in Nicaragua still. And it was kind of funny because I just I just clicked Nicaragua.

148
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:08,760
And got Basco. And police or something. And sure enough one of the surnames was Basco.

149
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,160
So you know just that that's the comment. The go to the go to story.

150
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,960
But I think it's just as high in Cuba to be honest. Probably. And a few more places.

151
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:24,920
But anyway since it was a theme of our podcast so far I thought it was nice first to cover that story.

152
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:34,080
Yeah. OK. Well I have a story about some 27 people that were arrested from Ciputua,

153
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:41,000
Navarra, Galicia and Pais Basco or Basque Country French Basque Country.

154
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:50,760
OK. Twenty seven. Twenty seven people for trafficking for illegal trafficking of Angulas.

155
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:59,120
So Angulas is like the baby eels. Right. And it's a very popular delicacy.

156
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:06,520
I think they call them leaven in English. I don't know what they call them in English.

157
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:13,240
So they're just like these little tiny baby eels and they're very much a delicacy and very expensive.

158
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,200
I've never eaten the real ones. I've never eaten the real ones either because they make a lot of fake ones.

159
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,680
Yeah. They put on top of pinchos. And there's I love them. And it's like cod but they paint them.

160
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:29,760
Like they literally paint them to look like a line on the line on their back to look like an eel.

161
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,000
And then some little eyeballs. They paint little eyeballs on them to make them look.

162
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,840
The cheap ones don't have eyeballs, but I've never eaten ones with eyeballs.

163
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:49,200
But it definitely looks cute. And I yeah, I've only seen them like in Japan.

164
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,120
Well, that's where they were sending them all to Asia. That's what happened.

165
00:18:54,120 --> 00:19:03,640
OK, so they were all arrested. It was a macro operation, they say, against the illegal trafficking of eels in which some

166
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:12,920
they carried out 30 simultaneous searches in homes, companies and clandestine nurseries or farms, I guess,

167
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:18,480
in which they seized 1.5 tons of live specimens. OK.

168
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:28,000
Wow. And this was carried out by the Guardia Civil and the French national Gendarmerie.

169
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,960
Thank you. Gendarmerie, if you want to do it more in English.

170
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,880
Gendarmerie. They were they got all the live ones.

171
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,840
They were intended to be sold to Asian countries.

172
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:46,600
Seven tons of frozen batches were seized without traceability or sanitary controls.

173
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:52,240
They were unsuitable for for putting into the food market.

174
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:58,120
Yeah. And more than two million euros of assets were seized.

175
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:04,720
Wow. Yeah. So the recovered eels that they seized, the ones that were alive,

176
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,000
were returned to their natural environment to preserve their survival.

177
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:16,320
Oh, nice. Yeah. I found it in English. Oh, yeah. What is it? Baby eel or elver? Elver.

178
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,320
I mixed it up. I think said something similar to that, but I didn't say that.

179
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:28,080
OK. So this is a highly valued product in some Asian countries where its price reaches values of up to five thousand euros a kilo.

180
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:37,760
So for years they've been they've they've been finding criminal groups and organizations that are dedicated to stealing batches of live eels and sending them to Asia.

181
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:46,600
Yeah. So this was the group that they arrested were made up of both fishermen and commercial managers and wholesalers.

182
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:56,800
They were a circuit. They were a legal circuit of supply to citizens of Chinese origin who had clandestine nurseries in Paris.

183
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,280
And Antwerp in Belgium. Right. Yeah.

184
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:10,760
So they would organize trips for people to Asia who through different European airports near the nurseries carried luggage containing the eel specimens.

185
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:17,320
Wow. Yeah. So the stuff that they were able to says during the investigation,

186
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:28,720
it was found that up to 14 tons of juvenile eel, so the baby eels and 31 tons of adult eel were removed from this this illegal chain of people,

187
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,840
which in the legal market would have reached the value of more than six point seven million euros.

188
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,720
Yeah. So that's all I've got on that. But well, I mean, very basque now.

189
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,000
Super basque. I mean, they love those here.

190
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,560
I mean, it's like a Christmas time food. True. You know, like the special, the utmost delicacy.

191
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,640
Yeah, they're a delicacy. It's like caviar, you know, or like.

192
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:02,880
I'm a bit conflicted about that because it's like, well, it doesn't matter that I've tried it or not.

193
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,320
But the fact is I've never tried the real thing. Yeah, no, me neither.

194
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:13,760
The weird thing for me is that I don't know how much people in Asia eat the babies.

195
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:22,040
I know here we eat the babies, but I know in Japan, the main market is for adults and they want.

196
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,560
Yeah. Yeah. Unagi is a very famous dish in sushi. Yeah.

197
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:33,080
And so, yeah, the issue is they like to have the babies and they'll buy them.

198
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:38,440
They traditionally would raise them in rice paddy fields.

199
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:44,960
And so they would help with controlling insects and, you know, there's good things about the whole culture as well.

200
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,720
But, of course, like most species, they're declining.

201
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,400
So, yeah, just last year, they put, I think, eel in general.

202
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,960
They just like, well, maybe it's not the best species to eat, you know?

203
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,080
And so it's very dependent on which region you're getting it from,

204
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:09,640
because some subspecies are kind of like more under pressure than others.

205
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,680
So I guess the ones here are under so much pressure.

206
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,520
But, you know, like eating babies is not the best way to go.

207
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:27,000
Well, and I think the most the main issue is that they weren't following all the controls or the regulations of the trade.

208
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,720
Right. So they weren't following fishing standards or fishing regulations.

209
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:41,120
And then, yeah, because the moment the thing is not considered, it's considered like a species of concern.

210
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:44,960
Yeah. Then you're not supposed to be just eating it.

211
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,040
So you're not allowed to do it.

212
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,880
So, of course, you're going to have problems.

213
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,520
But like, I'm sure there's legal ways to do it.

214
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,480
Yes, and there is. It's just then, you know, you've got also limits.

215
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,880
You're not supposed to get 100 percent of the babies or things like that.

216
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,200
Yeah. Because there's also a lot of issues with the eels.

217
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:12,640
Traditionally, they go up one stream and they have babies up at the top of the stream.

218
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:20,120
And the babies, they swim out to see grow up once they're born out of eggs.

219
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:26,680
And then they come up to the same stream to lay eggs again when they're adults, years and years later.

220
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,440
So because of that, it's like very hard.

221
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,960
Like if a population goes extinct in a stream, you might not get any.

222
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,240
You don't get anybody coming back to lay eggs.

223
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:43,680
So then you have to have a whole thing of putting the babies in as babies or as eggs in the stream to see if they come back to the stream.

224
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,160
And that sometimes works. That sometimes doesn't work.

225
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,360
So it's a very hit and miss thing.

226
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:56,560
And so, you know, you can have certain streams and river systems that are very successful and still have eels, but you can have ones that have collapsed.

227
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,720
So, yeah, it's an issue, guys.

228
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,200
We should be careful with eels and eat it with sparing caution.

229
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,840
I've tried them because it's just basically cod, what I've eaten.

230
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,840
Oh, you're talking about the pretend ones.

231
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,480
The pretend ones I've eaten, you know, on a pincho.

232
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,840
But like, to me, it's not appetizing at all.

233
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,560
That's not a problem.

234
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,920
To see little worm like things on your food.

235
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,600
Yeah, it's just like fish pasta is what they make, really.

236
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,800
The pretend version of it is just a little fish pasta.

237
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,040
OK, shall I tell another one?

238
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:33,840
Go for it.

239
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:44,120
OK, so a court in San Sebastian has ruled in favor of a chef or a restaurant.

240
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,720
So Paolo Airaudo.

241
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:58,160
OK, so he was sued, this chef, because he runs this restaurant, the Amalia Restaurant

242
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,400
in Paseo de la Concha in San Sebastian.

243
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,760
He has just achieved his second Michelin star.

244
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:15,680
He charged three clients, or at least one of them, the one that made the reservation,

245
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,960
510 euros for not showing up.

246
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,280
Sorry.

247
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:28,280
So they made a reservation, didn't show up, and he charged them what the three meals would

248
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,600
have cost at his restaurant.

249
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:38,080
So the client then sued him and the chef won.

250
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:38,880
Oh, the chef won.

251
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:39,200
Yeah.

252
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:39,920
Oh, wow.

253
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,240
Yes.

254
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,240
I mean, I can't say I disagree.

255
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,080
I'm kind of ambivalent about it.

256
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,040
Yeah, because I guess these restaurants are really high demand and these tables are very

257
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,520
high demand, you know, so he could have.

258
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,560
So for him, it was like losing money.

259
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,200
Right.

260
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,720
If you had the excuse that you phone the same day.

261
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,480
So he charged each client, so the three of them, 170 euros each.

262
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,280
So the man warned that he would take the matter to court for having already charged the sum

263
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:12,040
of three covers, 170 euros each on his card without having enjoyed any service at the

264
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,600
restaurant.

265
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000
He knew when he could have the service enjoying.

266
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,600
Yeah, but he changed his mind.

267
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,800
So he was like a guy traveling.

268
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,240
So according to this story, it sounds like the guy called.

269
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,000
That's the thing.

270
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:32,600
And then he decided to delay his visit by 24 hours and tried to postpone his reservation

271
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,960
at the hotel, which is in the same building as the restaurant.

272
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:36,440
Wow.

273
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,360
OK.

274
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:43,280
So he figured because he had changed his reservation at the rest at the hotel that it would then

275
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,640
transfer to the restaurant, which it did not because they are separate entities.

276
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,680
There are some gray areas there to be sure.

277
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,240
Yes.

278
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:55,480
So then when the when he didn't cancel at the restaurant, they charged him.

279
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,960
Yeah.

280
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,720
So yeah.

281
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,440
I mean, be careful, guys.

282
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,080
So they accept cancellations up to 72 hours in advance.

283
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:05,920
OK.

284
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,080
Otherwise, you're going to be charged 170 euros for canceling.

285
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,400
So that's that's a very interesting.

286
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,480
It's good to know.

287
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,000
Noted. Noted.

288
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,600
Don't make a reservation and then just last minute cancel it.

289
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,200
Yeah.

290
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,280
I've been thinking if I want to go because I look through what he says, he affirms.

291
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,040
This is what the the the chef said.

292
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:35,280
He says the the non appearance of these clients entailed an economic damage for his business

293
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,920
that seeks excellence and distinction, both in obtaining the raw material, a lobster from

294
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,800
Scotland or products originated from Japan.

295
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,840
He gave his examples as well as the preparation and the subsequent presentation.

296
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:57,040
So he goes through all that trouble for an empty table and then he loses money.

297
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,920
So a bit over dramatic.

298
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,760
Well, he's the one that got sued.

299
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,520
So he had to like build a defense.

300
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,440
Right.

301
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:09,640
And I say this is why I charged him a hundred no five hundred and ten euros.

302
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,440
It's for three people.

303
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,560
Expensive for not having anything.

304
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,440
And we're back.

305
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,640
Hello, everybody.

306
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:25,880
We're back again.

307
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,400
So my story now.

308
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:27,880
OK.

309
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,880
Another one. My last story.

310
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:30,880
OK.

311
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,440
Um, yeah, I'm just I was wondering.

312
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,480
This one is not in Nicaragua, right?

313
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,160
No, it's very Basque.

314
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,360
So it's well, they're all Basque related.

315
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:51,000
But this is a court ruling that was given in Victoria,

316
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,480
because the capital of the Basque country.

317
00:29:54,480 --> 00:30:00,320
So the ruling from the judicial was saying that you have to accept

318
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:06,880
policemen from municipal police that don't have the level B2 in Basque.

319
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:12,400
And B2 would be like intermediate upper intermediate Basque.

320
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,560
Exactly.

321
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,560
So since twenty nineteen or a little bit before,

322
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,800
they have been demanding that you have that to enter.

323
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,240
One or two hundred people have been rejected because they didn't have

324
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,920
the this level B2, and now because of the ruling.

325
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,360
They have to be accepted.

326
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:39,120
I disagree with this ruling profoundly, and I'm very upset by it.

327
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:44,040
And I was, yeah, we've really stressing out about it because it's very depressing

328
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:49,400
that we have to, you know, fight for our police to speak

329
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,360
the language of the Basque country in twenty twenty three.

330
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,160
I'm really disgusted that the fact that it was

331
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:03,160
a judge in Victoria that came out with this and, you know,

332
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,520
it's within the Basque country, even it's more offensive, even, you know,

333
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,440
we're fighting. There's only about a third of people who use Basque day to day.

334
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,000
I know that younger people have more Basque in their lives,

335
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,200
but they don't necessarily use it day to day.

336
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,800
So the fact that we're.

337
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,800
It's a very slippery slope. I don't like it at all.

338
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,480
This article was saying at the end that was just this just came out this week.

339
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,280
But at the end, they were saying that the government is probably going to

340
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,080
they're going to appeal because.

341
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:44,160
As I said, communities that are missing a person,

342
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,480
well, they need more police if they need another police,

343
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,440
you don't know which municipality they're in and whether it's a majority

344
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,400
Basque speaking municipality. So, yeah,

345
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,760
I don't know what to say about it because I.

346
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,720
I don't know. I know that.

347
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,080
I don't know. I don't even know if I want to get into it.

348
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,960
Yeah, it's fine. I know you're ambiguous about the theme and

349
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:17,760
and it's it's, you know, everybody is free to have their own opinions.

350
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,920
And you know that I'm very committed to the cause of Basque language, especially.

351
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,960
I know. And so, you know, I think Basque autonomy in a political sense

352
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,440
is very important to safeguard Basque.

353
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,960
I understand your passion for it. And

354
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,080
and we probably differ on a few things.

355
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,400
We've had a lot of Douglas and I have been on each other for a very long time.

356
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,840
We've had a lot of very emotional arguments over the years.

357
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,000
Yeah. Where we both ended up crying.

358
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,680
Yeah. But it's just because we disagree on some things.

359
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,800
But I'm not I don't disagree with your.

360
00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,840
I mean, I disagree with every friend of mine on a lot of things.

361
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,960
Of course we do. That's why we're individuals.

362
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,960
But exactly, you know, that's the beauty of friendship is that we know we're different.

363
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,360
Yes, we love each other. Absolutely.

364
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,960
And we believe in a lot of things in common.

365
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,480
Exactly. That's the most important thing. We agree more than we disagree.

366
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:23,080
Of course. What was our rule? 80 percent's enough. Yeah.

367
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,200
All right. Let's go with a more lighthearted story.

368
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:34,600
Out of D'Nosti again. D'Nosti. Yeah. The heart of the Basque speaking country.

369
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,800
They do speak a lot more Basque than Bilbao for sure.

370
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,680
Statistically. Yeah. So a parked car.

371
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,720
OK, we're starting. Re-tabbing. Oh really?

372
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,280
A parked car. This is the best thing about the story. A parked car.

373
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:56,760
So a parked car ran over the terrace of a bar in Gross, the Gross neighborhood.

374
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,680
You know Gross? It's part of D'Nosti.

375
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,800
Yeah, it's a neighborhood that has a lot of nice.

376
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:06,760
Yeah, I like I spend a lot of time in D'Nosti because I have friends live there.

377
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Goyo. Hey, Goyo. Hi, Goyo. Hi, Sergio. Hi, Sergio.

378
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,600
I don't know if Sergio listens, but Goyo definitely does.

379
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,760
Yes. So a parked car ran over the terrace of a

380
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,120
bar in the Gross neighborhood. I'm still confused.

381
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,280
Was there a lot of wind involved? How was the parked car?

382
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,680
No, this is what happened. The handbrake wasn't on.

383
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,640
Oh no. So it basically was parked near the

384
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:38,360
terrace and then I guess it just started rolling, moving

385
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:44,280
downhill into the terrace. So it just ran into all the tables

386
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,960
and chairs. Of course, it's silence. Did people

387
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,320
realize it was coming? Well, yeah, like people had to jump out of the way.

388
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,360
This is around 9 p.m. at night. Oh, crying time.

389
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,600
And it was on a slight slope, it says in the story.

390
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,160
So the customers who were sitting in the outdoor terrace of the premises at the

391
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,840
front, at the foot of the street, were kind of impacted by the car.

392
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,720
Oh my gosh. But nobody really got that hurt.

393
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:15,000
Well, if it wasn't too fast. And it was stopped by a pot, like a

394
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,760
like a large pot at the end. Like I was probably holding like some lovely

395
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,840
flowers. So is this our first... So the car was

396
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,720
like just barreling through the tables and the chairs and everybody

397
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:29,880
that was sitting on the terrace and then just was

398
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,800
stopped by this pot, probably of flowers. Some minor drama.

399
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,280
Yeah, yeah. So there were ambulances sent to the scene.

400
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:44,520
So bad. I know. They were sent to the scene. There were no significant injuries,

401
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,920
but they had to attend to several people after having suffered scratches

402
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,680
and being shaken by fright.

403
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,520
Well, I guess we can see how

404
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,320
high up the echelon that neighborhood is.

405
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,600
Yeah, people are very sensitive in that neighborhood.

406
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,360
Drama at the highest level, yeah. I mean, if it's a...

407
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,320
Is that kind of... It's a nice part of town, right?

408
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,360
So... Well, I mean the whole town is nice. It is.

409
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,800
It's not really a bad part of town. It's nasty.

410
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,840
Gross, specifically. I hear with tones... Why not? No, no. It's a nice...

411
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,120
It's... No, but like okay, La Concha, where the restaurant, the Michelin

412
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,200
restaurant was located, that charged the guy 510 euros. That's a nice,

413
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:36,840
nice part of town, right? Gross was like the part of town that was like

414
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:42,520
outside of that, right? Okay. So, but now it's super trendy and...

415
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,440
So there's a lot of like new... So it's like recently gentrified.

416
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,120
Kind of, but like the whole thing is gentrified. The whole place is like...

417
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,560
The whole of Donosti. Nice, yeah. Like there's no bad part of town

418
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,880
in Donosti. It's gorgeous, guys. Gorgeous. You gotta go. The whole thing is...

419
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:03,720
You gotta go. It's lovely. There's no riff-raff. No, no. Too expensive.

420
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:09,720
Even the bus there is expensive. Too expensive to go there and do any bad shit.

421
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,320
Oh, Donosti. As we might say in this occasion, gno gno sti.

422
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,920
Yes, gno gno. You have to explain what that is. What is gno gno?

423
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:24,760
Gno gno. So gno gno is like if you call a guy gno gno,

424
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,360
ay que gno gno it is, right? Oh my gosh, you're so gno gno.

425
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,720
Okay. It's kind of like saying, oh you're so posh.

426
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:40,920
Ah, okay. Like, so it's with posh, posh in perhaps a slightly more silly way.

427
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:47,240
Yeah, like almost like insulting. It is definitely insulting.

428
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:50,760
Like yeah, I guess you could call you posh in a nice way.

429
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:57,480
I've never heard. You can call me that. I mean, yeah, but like, yeah, I just,

430
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,400
I'm just, yeah. It's been a long time I haven't heard the word posh in a nice

431
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,200
context is what I mean. No, true. But gno gno is...

432
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,440
A lot of people get offended by posh. Gno gno is not evil. It's not

433
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,040
bad, but it is silly. Like it's calling you silly. It's like upper class.

434
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,720
Or like, yeah, like you're too... So this is a perfect example.

435
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:21,880
Image oriented or something. Yeah, in my brain, because if you say

436
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,240
you're gno gno, it's like, oh you're kind of like a

437
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:30,200
weak and silly and you've got wrong priorities in a way, I guess.

438
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:38,200
Yeah. So if you're shocked and horrified by a car that just slids...

439
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,240
And you need an ambulance. Yeah, you know, that would be a perfect occasion to call

440
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:49,400
somebody gno gno. Yeah, totally. So because Donosti is such a rich

441
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:54,040
place, people sometimes play with the name of Donosti and call it

442
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:59,240
gno gno sti, which is perfect for this occasion, right?

443
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:05,640
Yes, absolutely. So it all came to an end when a group of

444
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,800
people managed to remove the vehicle from the terrace and held it down to

445
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,640
prevent it from moving again. So they got the tables back. They just

446
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,920
stopped. They all just went and put their hands on the car, basically.

447
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,160
Stop it from... It hit the pot and then everybody went to,

448
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,520
you know, put their hands on it. Reorganize the tables.

449
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:29,160
To prevent it from moving again. And the owners of the car went down to the

450
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,720
street after hearing all the noise and then activated their... Then they

451
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:37,160
just put on the handbrake.

452
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:45,800
I mean, the drama. The drama. Like, so anyway, that story is funny because

453
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,960
I, you know, found it this morning while looking for stories to talk about

454
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,160
tonight. And tonight when I was leaving work, I was

455
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,160
crossing one street and there was a cop car in the

456
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:03,000
middle of the street with its lights on. A surprise. And it appeared as though a

457
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,240
car that had been parked in a parking spot

458
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:11,400
had rolled out into the street. It looked like the same thing and I was like, oh

459
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,760
my god, that's like the story I just found about a car that was just parked

460
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,240
and somebody didn't put on the handbrake. Our second parking crime.

461
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:26,280
Our second parking crime. Yep. Never had one of those. So there you go. That's the mini crime time for

462
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,240
tonight. Even parking can be a crime, guys.

463
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:35,160
Yeah, put on the handbrake. Put on the handbrake. Actually, I have a story that I did in

464
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:40,840
Boise, Idaho. I did not put on the handbrake. Oh my gosh, that's terrible. It was

465
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,080
horrible because it wasn't my car. It was my friend's car. It didn't hit

466
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:51,800
anything. Lucky Julie. I know. I was parked in the

467
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:57,720
parking garage at my university. Okay. And I parked and I was leaving and I

468
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:02,200
was walking and then I heard people yelling and I

469
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,440
turned around and I saw the car, my friend's car that I had borrowed,

470
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:12,120
rolling out into the middle of the parking. I was like, oh my god.

471
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,960
So I didn't put on the handbrake. So that actually did happen. So

472
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,400
did it sort of stop by itself or did you have to... Yeah, it was rolling out but there

473
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,120
were people kind of trying to stop it because people were worried it was going

474
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,320
to hit a car. Excellent. And so it didn't hit anything.

475
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,400
Community. 10 points Boise. But it was really embarrassing more than anything.

476
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:35,160
It was more like, oh my god, that's mine. I did that. You know, I had to turn around

477
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,280
and go back and like... Hey, at least there was not...

478
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,680
On the handbrake. Imagine if some rich people were sipping wine

479
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:47,960
in a bar and then it ran through like tables and stuff. Way worse. That wasn't as bad.

480
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,920
Yeah, it would have been a lot worse. Could have been worse. 10 points Boise.

481
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,720
Could have been worse. But I have had that happen.

482
00:41:55,720 --> 00:42:00,120
So it's, you know, it's possible. It does happen. I feel your pain.

483
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,800
