Ready again. I mean, some people might be disappointed,
but I mean, the choice was never theirs. It was
yours. And now it's mine. This one's from Popular
Mechanics and this one. Holy shit. February 20th,
2026. Wow. I don't know what's going on with
me. This is crazy. I don't know. I don't know
what's going on. This is crazy. I need to go
buy a lottery ticket or something. This is by
Tim Newcomb. Chelsea, I think you actually need
to check your pockets to make sure you haven't
already bought that lottery ticket that's going
to win. Okay, hold on. I feel like you were in
a stream of consciousness where you won't even
know what happened during that time. I check
in my pockets and holy shit, it's a bent spoon.
A new statue suddenly appeared on Easter Island.
That doesn't make sense. There are more than
a thousand Moai statues on Easter Island representing
a key part of the region's cultural and archaeological
pass. A new male m - Why did I just forget how
to say it? Moai, smaller than most, was found
in a dried up lake bed. Just when experts thought
they knew, every Moai on Rapa Nui, otherwise
known as Easter Island, a dried up lake bed kept
them on their toes. These statues, largely made
of a stone, formed from volcanic ash and dust
called Tafpepper the island, with more than a
thousand already found and logged. Finding a
new one came as a surprise and a bit of a mystery.
We think we know all the Moai, but then a new
one turns up, a new discovery and in this case
in the lake at the statue quarry. Terry Hunt,
professor of archaeology at the University of
Arizona told Good Morning America, There have
been no Moai found in the dry bed or in what
was previously a lake, so this is the first,
and it may not be the last. in there. As the
area undergoes drying, the lake bed in question
has given up its moai and this opportunity may
occur again. Under the dry conditions that we
have now we may find more, Hunt said. They've
been hidden by the tall reeds that grow in the
lake bed and prospecting with something that
can detect what's under the ground surface may
tell us that there are in fact more moai in the
lake bed sediment. When there's one moai in the
lake there's probably more. I love that they
haven't taken any like ground penetrating radar
to this yet it doesn't seem like or at least
the lake. To be fair I don't know how easy it
is to transport ground penetrating radar. Yeah
this island is already far off. Oh, it's in the
middle of nowhere. Yeah, it is. You have to fly
out of, I believe it's under the control of Chile.
Yeah. So you have to fly out of Chile to even
get there. It's like a couple hour flight from
Chile. Yeah, and it's like the only place you
can fly to and from Easter Island is Chile. Yeah.
The newly discovered Moai is also one of the
smallest found, leading experts to believe that
hidden within these reeds is the potential for
a bounty of new Moai. Created by the Rapa Nui
people, Moai have a myth legend attached to them
and have gained worldwide renown for their appearances.
Some believe these Moai were given special powers
to walk across land and end up in their resting
place. Whether or not the legend has legs, there
are many theories regarding how these statues
move from building sites to various locations.
While the largest of the statues weighs 86 tons
and rises 32 feet tall, most of them Moai average
about half that size. About 95 % are carved from
volcanic tuff, but a few are made from basalt.
Each one is unique, created by carvers to represent
the characteristics of the person it resembled.
Often chieftain or key leader. The finishing
touch on Moai was the inclusion of special stones
for eyes, not carved or placed until the statue
found its home. Even though experts thought they
knew the locations of all the Moai homes, finding
this new small one in the lake bed proves some
had remained a complete mystery. Quote, it's
here in the lake and nobody knows this exists.
End quote, Salvador Aton Kito, vice president
of Mau Henua, the group that oversees the island's
national park, told Good Morning America, even
the ancestors or grandparents don't know about
that one. End. Huh. Yeah, it was a surprise.
I've known a lot about those, but I don't know
what to really add at this point. No, I didn't
know they had stones for eyes. Did you know that?
Yeah, I did. Because they're made of stone. So
I just kind of assumed that all of it was stone.
Touche. Not necessarily one stone. I don't know.
Now, if you would have said that their eyes were
made of people, I would have been surprised.
But the human skull. No, the favorite thing I
always know about Easter Island is do you remember
the previous mayor of New York, Eric Adams? Yes.
and how like incomprehensibly inept he was. Yeah,
what does this have to do with Easter Island?
He was incredibly corrupt and he got bribed by
Turkey and one of the bribes he got was he could
fly anywhere he wanted on Air Turkey for free.
I did know this actually. And so there's stories
of him or his partner calling Air Turkey to see
where they flew to. In one event he ended up
flying from New York to an event in Paris. He
ended up having to take a layover for that event
in Turkey before he flew to Paris. That would
all make sense. Yeah, very natural flight path
there. But in another one, his partner was on
tape calling Turkish Air and asking like, hey,
you guys have any direct flights from New York
to Easter Island? No. Yeah, not a fucking chance.
There's laws against that. They can't touch any
other country. That is hilarious. I don't know
how should we get caught on tape I'm doing because
they realized that he was taking bribes at that
point. So they had tapped off But yeah, they
were like going on a vacation. They're like just
see if we can get free flights It's that simple.
Is that the guy that did the video about like
where you can hide a crack pipe in a kid's room?
Yeah. Yeah. Hi I'm Eric Adam. What I would like
to show here is to empower parents on how to
search a room inside their home. It's imperative
that you should know what's inside your household.
So if you come to a room like this, you can look
in a jewelry box, a jewelry box of this nature,
maybe a simple jewelry box, but if you look through
it closely, you don't know what your child may
be hiding. For instance, a gun could be hitting,
a small caliber weapon could be hitting inside
a jewelry box. You should always, when your child
brings in his popular knapsack with many different
locations, look through it to see what exactly
is your child carrying. Something simple as a
crack pipe, a used crack pipe. Look at picture
frames and behind them. Behind a picture frame
you can find bullets. Something simple as a baby
doll. It could be just a baby doll, but also
it could be a place where you can secrete or
hide drugs. Run your hands over the pillows and
see if you feel anything that's unusual. Like
a pillow like this with a button is a perfect
invitation to hide something. I've felt something
bumpy. I will reach in, see what it is. This
one could be hidden inside a pillow, a gun. The
kid had guns, crackpipes, methamphetamine. It
was a really informative video. And that's probably
it for a mini. We've covered a lot. We've gone
a long way. And hey, you guys got 48 hours. You
check your kid's backpacks for crackpipes. But
also, he never explained what to do if you found
them. He didn't actually, just where to hide
them. So I got really good at hide mine. Explain
to your kids that they need to hide them better,
I guess. Anyhow, bye. You gotta go, bye.
