WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399 So this is coming from the to be filed category, 00:00:03.580 --> 00:00:06.120 and that's where things go when they have yet 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.839 to be filed. So we're only feeling like we're 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:11.539 procrastinating and putting them into categories. 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.460 I don't look at this list that you have. Are 00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:16.699 there actually things compiled into categories 00:00:16.699 --> 00:00:19.969 at this point? Yes, it just depends on how I'm 00:00:19.969 --> 00:00:22.269 feeling like starting the mini. It's just all 00:00:22.269 --> 00:00:24.589 based on feelings, many feelings, many, many 00:00:24.589 --> 00:00:28.030 feelings. Some are certain, some are not. Today, 00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:32.109 we're being forced upon the to be filed category 00:00:32.109 --> 00:00:35.829 because this news cannot wait any longer. It's 00:00:35.829 --> 00:00:39.210 breaking. You can't say we and like pretend that 00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:41.030 you're just part of this category that is being 00:00:41.030 --> 00:00:45.770 thrust upon. You are the one thrusting. You need 00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:48.649 a better pronoun than that. I'm speechless, I 00:00:48.649 --> 00:00:53.030 don't know what to say here. So, here I am. Thrusting. 00:00:53.390 --> 00:00:58.310 Thrusting this. I can't, it's too breaking. It's 00:00:58.310 --> 00:01:01.429 too Journey to the Fringe breaking to not thrust 00:01:01.429 --> 00:01:06.719 this. September 3rd, 2025. Well, it's not exactly 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.760 breaking, but for us, it's breaking. And that's 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.359 just why it cannot wait any further to be filed. 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.840 Without further ado, on this creepiest of October 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.000 Wednesdays, we have a live live science article 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.400 titled. Quote, we completely freaked out, end 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.420 quote. Orcas are attacking boats in Europe again. 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.560 And this is by Patrick Pester. September 3rd, 00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:35.099 2025, already spoiled that. Iberian orcas have 00:01:35.099 --> 00:01:37.500 damaged several boats off the coast of Spain 00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.040 in recent weeks, leaving authorities scrambling 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.680 to rescue stranded crews. Here we go. Orcas along 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.599 the Spanish coast are attacking boats once again, 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.379 leaving destroyed rudders and stranded crews 00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:53.019 in their wake. A small population of orcas? or 00:01:53.019 --> 00:01:56.400 kinis orca or killer whales has developed a penchant 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.120 for damaging boats off the iberian peninsula 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.299 in southwestern europe in recent years researchers 00:02:02.299 --> 00:02:05.099 are still studying this behavior but they think 00:02:05.099 --> 00:02:07.900 the orcas are likely being playful rather than 00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:11.400 aggressive or they have a bloodlust for capitalism 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.759 i don't know if we can call it a bloodlust when 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.439 they haven't killed anybody yet okay it's a boat 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:23.169 it's like capitalists for sure But I wouldn't 00:02:23.169 --> 00:02:25.710 say it's a blood lust. It could be a blood lust 00:02:25.710 --> 00:02:29.490 for yachts But yachts don't have blood in my 00:02:29.490 --> 00:02:34.240 oil lust in my mind. It's full blood. Okay They 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.539 got a boat blast, okay. On August 21st, orcas 00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:41.819 tore the rudder off a German sailboat in the 00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:46.099 Vigo estuary in Galicia. Spanish newspaper Faro 00:02:46.099 --> 00:02:49.439 de Vigo reported the orcas then continued to 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.300 play with the sailboat which they rammed as it 00:02:52.300 --> 00:02:55.840 was towed to safety. I love that for them. They 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.030 tore the rudder off? Love that. They described 00:02:59.030 --> 00:03:01.270 it as play with the sailboat instead of trying 00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:05.860 to destroy. This article, live science. for how 00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:07.379 much we use them, we get them, and they're on 00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:09.580 the same side as us as the orcas are the good 00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:14.180 guys. They sure are. The Pontevedra Civil Guard, 00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:17.180 a Spanish law enforcement agency, shared a video 00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:19.939 of the sailboat rescue on the social platform 00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:22.860 X and wrote that the orcas had attacked several 00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:25.800 sailboats. It's unclear exactly how many boats 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.580 were targeted prior to this post, but there have 00:03:28.580 --> 00:03:32.180 also been incidents since. For instance, on Saturday, 00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:35.560 August 30th, Barro de Vigo reported that Orcas 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.439 destroyed a traditional wooden sailing ship's 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.120 rudder off Bow Grove within the Arusa estuary. 00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:45.139 You know that's a fancy person. Traditional boat. 00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:47.599 Yep. Yep. That's a fancy person right there. 00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:51.120 And opened a leak in another sailboat off Ons. 00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:55.379 within the Ponta Vedra estuary. Valentin Otero, 00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:58.419 the owner of the ship targeted in Ogrove, told 00:03:58.419 --> 00:04:01.759 Faro de Vigo that he heard two blows against 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.360 his vessel before he spotted a pair of orcas. 00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:08.699 Oh, sorry. I don't know if that's the appropriate 00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:12.300 place. I'm just picturing him with his bags of 00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:14.719 cash and his martini and he looks out and he 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:19.819 sees the orcas and he's like, oh, fuck. They 00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:22.420 finally come for me. He's like just take the 00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:25.259 money Otero and his crew reported that there 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:28.420 was a large orca measuring about 25 feet long 00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:31.100 accompanied by a smaller orca swimming alongside. 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.779 Oh, they're teaching I love this about orcas 00:04:35.779 --> 00:04:39.220 Quote the truth is we were very frightened In 00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:41.459 fact, we completely freaked out when we realized 00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:44.240 the orcas were hitting the boat and quote Otero 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.069 said in a translated statement The Iberian orcas 00:04:48.069 --> 00:04:51.189 are critically endangered orca. You can't do 00:04:51.189 --> 00:04:52.850 anything about them. They're just going to keep 00:04:52.850 --> 00:04:56.310 attacking. They're an endangered orca subpopulation 00:04:56.310 --> 00:04:59.029 thought to have fewer than 40 individuals. The 00:04:59.029 --> 00:05:01.350 group has been attacking boats off the... Is 00:05:01.350 --> 00:05:04.350 it the endangered group that's specifically targeting 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:08.230 the orca? Yeah! That's hilarious. You can't do 00:05:08.230 --> 00:05:11.949 anything. They're endangered. I bet they had 00:05:11.949 --> 00:05:13.850 a big orca meeting too and they're like, it's 00:05:13.850 --> 00:05:17.910 going to have to be you guys. Yeah. You're endangered. 00:05:18.889 --> 00:05:20.990 The rest of us did like those sperm whales back 00:05:20.990 --> 00:05:24.949 in the 1700s. While some initial reports suggested 00:05:24.949 --> 00:05:27.850 that Iberian orcas could be carrying out revenge 00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:30.949 against the ships, this has been dismissed by 00:05:30.949 --> 00:05:34.589 many orca experts. The encounters often involve 00:05:34.589 --> 00:05:37.149 young orcas going straight for the rudders on 00:05:37.149 --> 00:05:39.629 the underside of the sailing boats. Scientists 00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:42.110 have suggested that the orcas are likely just 00:05:42.110 --> 00:05:45.310 bored teenagers with more free time than Atlantic 00:05:45.310 --> 00:05:48.670 bluefin tuna populations, their favorite prey 00:05:48.670 --> 00:05:51.230 in the region, recovered meaning they do not 00:05:51.230 --> 00:05:53.850 spend less time I'm hunting. I fully get these 00:05:53.850 --> 00:05:57.930 guys. They hate the rich. They enjoy eating delicious 00:05:57.930 --> 00:06:04.370 tuna. They hate life. Orca behavior is diverse 00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:07.550 and complex. Researchers have observed the species 00:06:07.550 --> 00:06:11.050 engaging in intricate social rituals such as 00:06:11.050 --> 00:06:14.250 sinking yachts from gently nibbling on each other's 00:06:14.250 --> 00:06:18.490 tongues to tumbling alongside each other as if 00:06:18.490 --> 00:06:22.089 they're an aquatic mosh pit. Different orca populations 00:06:22.089 --> 00:06:24.970 have their own dialects similar to human language 00:06:24.970 --> 00:06:28.269 and can develop their own unique fads such as 00:06:28.269 --> 00:06:30.850 swimming around with dead salmon on their heads. 00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:34.009 Yeah, I did hear about that one. There's no reason 00:06:34.009 --> 00:06:37.050 to suspect that the Iberian orcas are targeting 00:06:37.050 --> 00:06:39.769 the people aboard the boats. Orcas are fierce 00:06:39.769 --> 00:06:42.970 predators that are known to hunt variety of different 00:06:42.970 --> 00:06:46.709 prey from tuna to seals to capitalists to sharks 00:06:46.709 --> 00:06:50.050 and even whales. However, each population has 00:06:50.050 --> 00:06:52.810 a particular diet and none of them involves eating 00:06:52.810 --> 00:06:55.560 humans. There's only a handful of documented 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.839 case of wild orcas attacking humans and all of 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.220 these reported incidents come with significant 00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:04.779 caveats such as an orca likely mistaking a person 00:07:04.779 --> 00:07:07.139 for a seal. And that's the end of the article. 00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:10.759 They're just so pleasant. They are. We get them. 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.639 They are. There's reason that they must be incorporated 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.600 in all logos that Journey to the Fringe ever 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.889 uses. We get them. Yeah. I actually thought there 00:07:18.889 --> 00:07:22.569 were no recorded incidents of wild orcas ever 00:07:22.569 --> 00:07:24.910 killing a human, but it seems like they kind 00:07:24.910 --> 00:07:27.970 of alluded to it happening. Yeah, it seems like 00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:31.149 they possibly mistook it for a seal, in which 00:07:31.149 --> 00:07:33.870 accidents do happen. I've mistaken people and 00:07:33.870 --> 00:07:36.610 murdered them as seals all the time. Yeah, you 00:07:36.610 --> 00:07:40.670 think they're a seal and they're not. Yep. That's 00:07:40.670 --> 00:07:43.129 true. It's really awkward, but it happens. The 00:07:43.129 --> 00:07:46.750 orcas are just doing the people's work. I mean, 00:07:46.870 --> 00:07:49.389 it's Halloween now. We're setting the tone for 00:07:49.389 --> 00:07:52.009 spooky. If you're worried that there might be 00:07:52.009 --> 00:07:56.149 an orca in the room with you, just think of whether 00:07:56.149 --> 00:07:59.589 or not you were in the top 1%. And if you own 00:07:59.589 --> 00:08:02.790 a yacht. Do you own capital? If you own capital, 00:08:03.129 --> 00:08:05.509 worry a little about your capital. If not, you're 00:08:05.509 --> 00:08:07.410 fine. There might be an orca in the room with 00:08:07.410 --> 00:08:09.949 you right now. Just don't act like a seal. You're 00:08:09.949 --> 00:08:14.360 fine. Two comments I do want to make Chelsea, 00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:16.779 just in addition to what we've talked about first 00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:20.300 and foremost. They are so ridiculously intelligent 00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:22.120 that they're just like, oh yeah, the rudder. 00:08:22.180 --> 00:08:24.699 Let's just take that shit out. And like, I wonder 00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:27.079 if they know what they're doing. Yeah, they've 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.439 been studying them for so long now. They just 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.340 know what makes it go. The Spanish people also 00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:34.740 like kind of alluded to them targeting some boats, 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:37.059 almost like they're watching it, figuring out 00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:38.740 whether or not they were worth it, whether or 00:08:38.740 --> 00:08:40.690 not their net worth was high. enough and how 00:08:40.690 --> 00:08:45.190 the boat was working. Oh, yeah. I was kind of 00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:46.470 hoping at one point when you're talking about 00:08:46.470 --> 00:08:48.470 the Spanish police, they're going to try to apprehend 00:08:48.470 --> 00:08:51.590 the orcas with like handcuffs. But that didn't 00:08:51.590 --> 00:08:54.210 happen, apparently, unfortunately. While we're 00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:57.149 talking about the Spanish National Police, they 00:08:57.149 --> 00:09:00.210 have so many different forms of police in Spain. 00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:03.330 It's insane. But have you ever seen it's the 00:09:03.330 --> 00:09:07.370 Spanish National Guard, I think? Is their shirt 00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:12.529 really unbuttoned? Yes. Yeah. You see it when 00:09:12.529 --> 00:09:14.710 I'm talking about with their really unbuttoned 00:09:14.710 --> 00:09:17.690 shirt. And the very, very tight pants. Are we? 00:09:18.370 --> 00:09:22.789 Yeah, that's them. And they're for real. This 00:09:22.789 --> 00:09:25.570 is the outfit they wear. I always like when the 00:09:25.570 --> 00:09:27.929 chin guard is like above the chin at lip level. 00:09:28.389 --> 00:09:31.049 You can see how beautiful their outfits are. 00:09:34.710 --> 00:09:39.629 And it's so tight. Anyhow. So they can swim through 00:09:39.629 --> 00:09:42.330 orcas, clearly. Oh man, there's one of them lunging. 00:09:42.570 --> 00:09:45.409 I don't know. I don't know that that's specifically 00:09:45.409 --> 00:09:49.970 for orcas, but... One more thing I wanted to 00:09:49.970 --> 00:09:52.529 talk about is, Chelsea, do you think this is 00:09:52.529 --> 00:09:56.110 them taking their rage out on the humans, knowing 00:09:56.110 --> 00:10:00.470 that they can both go on land and sea? And they 00:10:00.470 --> 00:10:03.269 have learned that they cannot go on to land now. 00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:07.019 from our scientists. They would have had to have 00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:09.399 been way ahead and you could only think that 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.940 they'd get more violent as they find that out 00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:14.200 because they'd be much more anxious. And it's 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.759 the younger ones who didn't have the choice in 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.059 the matter that are really raging out based on 00:10:20.059 --> 00:10:22.820 the reports. Probably. I could get behind that. 00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:26.059 Yeah. But why attack a yacht? Something to contemplate. 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.120 You guys got 48 hours. You do your research and 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:29.879 come up with your conclusion. Like it can be 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.799 anything you want. Honestly. Oh yeah. The best 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.279 solution right now is angsty teenager. So you 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.259 can probably do better. Anyhow, bye. Bye.
