00:00:00.000 what is up guys welcome to another episode of pearl daily here on the audacity network
00:00:11.120 um for anyone that cares i passed book two and piano
00:00:18.680 i'm officially on book three
00:00:24.380 you guys are probably thinking pearl i don't care
00:00:30.000 And I understand that, you know, but.
00:00:51.680 Black fatigue. 0.88
00:00:54.360 Black fatigue. 0.88
00:00:55.640 Shaniqua, please take out the weak 1.00
00:01:00.720 Black fatigue 0.96
00:01:03.220 Black fatigue 0.96
00:01:05.940 Shaniqua, please take out the weak 1.00
00:01:11.100 All right, I want to tell you guys about my random thoughts of the day.
00:01:18.840 So when I was younger, I might have said this another coffee talk.
00:01:22.160 I talk for a living, right?
00:01:24.360 I lose track of what I said.
00:01:25.640 there's nothing worse than talking for a living because people will quote back you
00:01:30.440 to you what you said. And at times you say some fucked up stuff, you know, when I talk for hours 0.95
00:01:35.780 and hours at a time, I mean, God only knows what I'm going to say. Right. God, I mean, 0.96
00:01:40.200 Jesus Christ only knows. Um, but at times I'll have people say, Pearl, you said this,
00:01:53.940 or you said that. And I'm like, well, did I say that? Sounds like something I would say.
00:02:02.080 yeah
00:02:15.920 I'm getting into pantry organization and getting systems in place so I can easily cook better
00:02:26.080 I think that's like the final boss of cooking when you're like I need to fix this system it's
00:02:31.260 not just one thing. It's like the full system. Finished my guitar book. They're taking down
00:02:38.380 the basketball court at my gym. Sad. Nothing I can do. I think it's over. I have about
00:02:44.220 two weeks left of my only social life really here. I guess I'll have to find a new way
00:02:50.220 to make friends. It is what it is, right?
00:03:01.260 I think I'm getting too disconnected from normal society, right? I think, I think I've been able to
00:03:09.520 talk freely for a little bit too long, just a couple years too long, because I'll say,
00:03:19.380 I'll go back, you know, I'm, I'm in my cave, right? I'm in my lair.
00:03:22.620 I don't really like go anywhere else much other than my layer, you know?
00:03:34.440 It's like, it's usually just my, um, here, right here.
00:03:41.440 And then the gym, but I was at the gym the other day and
00:03:46.760 I was talking to somebody about women spending too much money. 1.00
00:03:51.640 and um i was talking about how a lot of men wouldn't be in debt from their credit cards
00:03:56.960 um like a lot of men wouldn't have debt if they could just take away their woman's credit card 1.00
00:04:02.100 and the guy's like oh um i i like my wife's spending or something like that and i was just
00:04:07.580 thinking why are we in a world where we can't just admit water is wet the sky is blue women are big 1.00
00:04:13.840 fat whores that spend too much money and bring nothing to society and are pretty useless and 1.00
00:04:18.560 um I mean like why can't I just say that normally without you know white knighting 1.00
00:04:24.680 just seems like everyone's getting really really weird I gotta find my um and it's also you know
00:04:37.160 I was thinking about also how men care about like men being good people but women love criminals and 1.00
00:04:43.800 bad people. And therefore, the incentive is going to be that now women that do terrible things are 1.00
00:04:50.520 going to get money and power. Like there was some rich chick who scammed like all of the elites 1.00
00:04:55.820 in New York City or something. I guess she just got out of jail. And now she's famous and becoming
00:05:02.600 a celebrity. And I don't know who Sky King is. I didn't know till recently.
00:05:13.800 If women and men are equally bad, then why don't women and men make equally bad decisions, right? 0.99
00:05:35.400 The chat always distracts me. Do you know what I mean? It's just, it is what it is.
00:05:43.800 what else do I want to talk about? Oh, I've had positive experiences with Facebook Marketplace.
00:05:51.980 Everyone's told me how I'm going to have a terrible experience, but it's been pretty good
00:05:56.880 so far. Um, like nobody's really said they were coming and didn't come yet.
00:06:03.200 I've sold a few things that I'm like, Oh, get rid of this junk. I sold the lamp for ungodly cheap
00:06:10.160 today. It was like five bucks, but I was like, I do not need this lamp. I just, I think I'm,
00:06:29.440 I was thinking about how I've always felt like I thought deeper about things than other people.
00:06:39.120 i don't know i don't know maybe maybe you know as a woman i know i'm prone to be narcissistic but
00:06:47.600 do other people think of this stuff like do they think about how
00:06:53.520 women are ruining everything in society like why am i the only woman that seems to notice do other 1.00
00:06:58.160 women not notice because i'm just like guys i don't know how you could be alive past like 25 0.99
00:07:06.560 and not notice that we're retarded. All right. So let's get into the topic. So today we're going 0.96
00:07:16.620 to talk about Sky King. Now, last night I got on TikTok and I accidentally stayed up till four in
00:07:24.240 the morning. It's why I kind of look homeless today because I watched this Sky King video
00:07:30.480 like probably 30 times i could not stop watching this video on sky king so sky king was this guy
00:07:37.900 who did bags at the airport uh you guys know i'm bad with names you guys are gonna he was one of
00:07:43.720 those guys that takes the bags and throws them into wherever the hell the bags go on the on the
00:07:50.020 thing i'm bad with names okay take it or leave it so he was a low status guy and low status men just
00:07:57.880 they're not treated the best by society. A lot of times high status men don't really understand
00:08:04.580 what they're going through. A lot of times high status men just tell them to buckle up their
00:08:08.260 bootstraps and be better. High status men never take their issues seriously with women. Women 1.00
00:08:14.160 can treat them like shit. And the high status men are like, well, what are you talking about? 1.00
00:08:17.980 They're amazing to me. Yeah. Ground crew baggage handlers. Yeah.
00:08:22.680 and um i guess one day he just crashed out and he stole a plane and this normal guy took a plane
00:08:35.940 decided he was going to kill himself and just rode this giant plane around for like two hours
00:08:42.240 and then crashed it on an island and before he died and this is what i mean men even low status
00:08:50.680 men, this is how I feel. And this is just anecdotal. I believe that most men are insanely
00:09:00.200 intelligent at something. Now I had a relative that was not seen as the most intelligent person
00:09:08.080 in the world. I'll just say this. They were not, the family kind of believed this person was not
00:09:12.040 that smart. But this person, like one day I got him talking about, I think it was like rocks or
00:09:20.180 some some like something that i just never would have cared about in my life do you know what i
00:09:25.500 mean like rocks like whatever and listening to this guy talk about like it was either raw i think
00:09:33.940 it was history like the dirt levels on whatever again i barely remember because it was just so
00:09:41.160 outside of my interest but i remember sitting there and thinking everyone thinks this guy's
00:09:44.540 kind of dumb um but this is like something that nobody else would ever know like this is really 0.70
00:09:51.260 intelligent and even men that like are lower maybe status in society or don't have high paying jobs 0.99
00:09:58.220 they seem to like be really good at something and i don't see this with women like i don't see women 1.00
00:10:05.600 if women are low status like fat losers right um or even high status women where whose debt hasn't 1.00
00:10:12.800 caught up to them yet. They have like no skills. And I've noticed that even low status men, like 0.99
00:10:26.860 if you put them in the right environment, sorry, I don't want to say it like that, but like even
00:10:31.160 men that are quiet or whatever, a lot of times, um, like in the right environment with a little
00:10:37.320 encouragement, they're like funny. Like it's like that quiet guy and you bring them around his
00:10:41.440 friends. Um, and then all of a sudden you're like, he's like a charismatic, funny. And you're just
00:10:50.580 thinking, you know, if you acted like this, normally you'd probably get some bitches. Do 1.00
00:10:57.340 you know what I mean? Like you would get a ton of like, I mean, women, ladies in the chat. Have 0.99
00:11:04.180 you ever seen that? Like you have a male friend that you just would never, but then you see him
00:11:08.080 in a different environment and you're like, huh? I mean, usually once you're in a box,
00:11:12.300 it's very tough to move for us. But like occasionally that box moves. Cause we're like,
00:11:18.880 Oh, I didn't, I didn't know. I didn't know what you were like when you weren't being a simp. 0.99
00:11:25.340 Right. Like, I didn't know what you were like when you weren't simping the fuck out. I didn't, 0.98
00:11:29.920 I didn't even know, like, you know what I mean? Like,
00:11:32.600 I don't know. I don't know if that makes sense. And this is just like in general, right? Men,
00:11:44.220 a lot of times it seems like, especially white guys, society just hasn't given them the tools
00:11:49.860 to thrive. It just seems like that, right? Because they go to school and it's a completely
00:11:55.780 female-centric education system. It's completely catered to women. Like, for example, 1.00
00:12:02.600 I kind of thought like a man in high school in a way, I would always skip my first and second
00:12:09.880 period. And I'd always skip my first and second period because, um, I could get good grades
00:12:15.340 without going. And this is kind of how men think, like, why would I waste my time if I don't have
00:12:20.300 to go? And I could still put like, to the point, my English teacher tried to fail me because I
00:12:25.100 would still do good on the tests. Um, but I wouldn't show up to class. And I'm like, it's
00:12:29.680 not my fault that you're not teaching me anything i don't know you know what i mean like anyways
00:12:35.060 but but that's that's um that's like a male way to think and when i i and this is kind of a bad
00:12:44.380 example because i mean i was kind of being an ass right in a way but in a way like men don't 0.74
00:12:53.400 want to waste their time and the school system requires men to waste their time it's required 1.00
00:12:59.120 like you because attendance is um a lot of times part of grades that benefits women because women 0.95
00:13:05.040 will show up on time but we can't figure out the solution to anything and i'm sure it's probably
00:13:14.800 frustrating just watching women be handed things is why i think half the guys in the rp space they're 0.96
00:13:21.600 just not big fans of me and i and i can understand it right a lot of these men have built courses but
00:13:26.640 i'm just a girl talking about her observations and i have more subs than rollo tamat that's not fair
00:13:32.960 right he's way smarter more intelligent you know wait wait but you know that's just kind of how
00:13:40.400 society is set up and it just seems like society is not set up for men and average men to showcase
00:13:50.480 what they're good at because i this is a gut feeling but i feel like a lot of times if the
00:13:58.000 reins were let off and women just let men have the jobs take over you know take over a lot of things 1.00
00:14:06.960 um that men would just take off and they could just fix a lot of problems you know 0.94
00:14:20.480 i got tired of going to school i literally christmas tree and passed the ged test yeah
00:14:27.800 and like i met someone um at my gym and he told me that he didn't know he was smart he was like
00:14:36.660 a dishwasher he was this guy was a dishwasher dishwasher and then he randomly took um he's
00:14:44.760 white guy dishwasher whatever he randomly took the air traffic controller test
00:14:49.580 and then that's like a very difficult high iq test i can't remember what percent of people
00:14:57.380 passed but it's a very small minority randomly took it didn't study and passed
00:15:02.100 as a waiter right with like a psych degree
00:15:07.620 it just seems like that's something that only happens to white men because if a black guy's
00:15:14.240 brilliant or a woman's brilliant there's so much attention so much credit given to them
00:15:18.580 only white men and I've you know anecdotally I find white guys like this all the time where they 0.61
00:15:24.840 just you know they're not really doing that well in life not bad but like you know it's just it
00:15:34.000 just seems like how smart they are they should be further in society you know
00:15:39.760 women dominated all the HR departments and hired all submissive Indians to secure power. I'm sure 1.00
00:15:59.280 they did. And I meet like, um, I meet men like this all the time where they're just not,
00:16:04.240 they're not that high in society, but it seems like they should be further.
00:16:22.900 So anyways, um, this guy steals a plane, right? And before he dies,
00:16:32.620 he does a double barrel roll and i don't know anything about planes but this guy just randomly
00:16:39.360 played video games and learned how to fly a plane i'm going to react to the video
00:16:43.360 but i just couldn't this guy was a normal guy he was married he had kids he was doing the baggage
00:16:51.700 thing. And, um, he just crashes out, does an incredible, um, pilot trick and then kills
00:17:04.560 himself. And you almost start like, you're almost watching that being like, why aren't
00:17:08.900 you a pilot? Why aren't you? I mean, if you could, if you're intelligent enough and listening
00:17:15.220 to him talk, he's like funny, he's like cracking jokes, he seems confident. It's like, why
00:17:20.020 was this guy a baggage guy and I think that maybe that's part of like what it is it's like
00:17:28.080 it's got to be really like okay now again this is not the same I remember when I was um a sophomore
00:17:36.680 in college okay I transferred in from I my freshman year in college I went to one school
00:17:41.640 and I was freshman of the year all conference but I was bullied kind of bad on my volleyball team
00:17:46.200 the girls just for whatever reason didn't like me I was kind of cocky I thought I was better than all
00:17:51.140 of them in a way and I kind of was so it didn't help right I got all these accolades I'd get all
00:17:56.060 tournament like every other tournament you know and these girls just did not like me they did not 1.00
00:18:04.280 whatever I did they did so I transferred school I probably shouldn't have in hindsight but I went
00:18:09.260 this new school and um the coaches didn't recruit me i just transferred but i was competing with a
00:18:16.540 girl who um she could touch 10 feet tall but she just wasn't that good so she could jump really 1.00
00:18:25.500 really high and i could jump to 9 10 but my bounce like i've never was very flexible now that i'm
00:18:31.260 older i know i thought it was genetic back then but i just couldn't bounce really quick but i
00:18:37.180 remember there were times when i hit like 600 which is really high like a middle 300 is is like
00:18:44.220 a 300 kill percentage but there were times when i hit 600 or i got all tournament um at this new
00:18:50.380 school and the coaches would just bench me because they thought that this other girl was going to be 1.00
00:18:55.100 really good someday because she could jump high and she had like potential right they saw more
00:18:58.700 potential in her than me um and this one i worked so hard and it didn't matter like do you know what 0.81
00:19:06.700 it's like to get all tournament off the bench like they they tried to sit me the girl sucked 1.00
00:19:12.700 they put me in i get all tournament off the bench and um it didn't matter what i did it did not
00:19:20.460 matter how i played they would not start me over her and she ended up quitting like two days before 1.00
00:19:25.900 the ncaa tournament i was so pissed regardless that's the most frustrated i think i ever was
00:19:31.500 in my life when it was like because it just i felt so out of control like it didn't matter how hard
00:19:37.020 i worked it didn't matter how i performed they just did not see it and i was so like i just
00:19:43.740 remember this anger like bubbling in me oh my god i outworked her oh my god yes um for women i can 1.00
00:19:53.660 always outwork women um but i was thinking about how that feeling has to be how men feel for their
00:20:04.460 whole lives because women and minorities especially white matter just given you just watch them being 1.00
00:20:10.060 like given things and you are like working your ass off well they're just given things you know 0.68
00:20:19.340 It's got to be frustrating. Now, I don't know. I don't know if that's what like made this guy do.
00:20:24.100 I don't know. Um, yeah. And I did beat her out at the end, but it was like, it was, it was like
00:20:32.380 after, oh my God, it was like hell on earth. And then the next year I got all conference again,
00:20:37.420 I was so pissed. Okay. So I actually, I would love, um, Doug MPA. I want him to explain why
00:20:44.720 he thinks this guy committed suicide. Because I can only speculate, but when I think of men that
00:20:50.340 commit suicide, they're going through a divorce. They're going through a divorce. They're young
00:21:02.660 guys with nothing to lose. This guy had friends. This guy was married. He loved his wife and he
00:21:09.100 just, you know. The tragic story of Sky King. In 2018, Richard Russell made news headlines for
00:21:17.360 stealing and subsequently crashing a 76 passenger plane straight out of Seattle-Tacoma International
00:21:24.080 Airport. He since attained the moniker Sky King. Many wondered how he managed to keep the plane
00:21:33.140 in the air without any formal flight training. Others asked what would motivate him to do such
00:21:38.160 a thing in the first place. Here's what we don't know. Who was Richard Russell? Richard Russell
00:21:44.840 was a ground service agent for Horizon Air, a subsidiary of Alaska Airlines, who infamously
00:21:51.840 stole and fatally crashed an airplane, earning the moniker Sky King. According to his blog,
00:21:57.560 Russell was born in Key West, Florida, and moved to Wasilla, Alaska at the age of seven.
00:22:05.280 Russell met his future wife, Hannah Stasener, while attending Southwestern Oregon Community College in Oregon.
00:22:14.740 The couple ran a bakery for three years before moving to Summer Washington to be closer to family.
00:22:19.660 We consider ourselves bakery connoisseurs and have to try a new one every place we go, Russell wrote.
00:22:27.580 Russell's job with Horizon Air allowed him to travel and visit family in Alaska more frequently.
00:22:32.260 While working for Horizon as a ground service agent, Russell also attended Washington State University, graduating with a degree in social sciences in 2017.
00:22:42.780 Once I earned my bachelor's in social sciences, I will either seek management position where I'm at now or possibly join the military as an officer, Russell wrote at the age of 27.
00:22:52.540 Russell Richard Russell's unorthodox unauthorized flight from Seattle Tacoma Airport on August 10th
00:23:02.440 2018 at 2 36 p.m. Ground Service Agent Richard Russell arrived on a Seattle Tacoma International
00:23:09.280 Airport for his scheduled shift of towing planes and cargo for Horizon Air at 7 19 Russell climbed
00:23:16.140 inside a Horizon Air Q400 aircraft being in the cockpit was nothing new for Russell who had spent
00:23:21.920 the past three and a half years towing planes around the airport and knew how to operate the
00:23:26.660 plane's auxiliary power unit and maneuver air craft on land. But that evening, he decided to fly.
00:23:33.940 At 7.33 p.m., Russell took off from the airport. For the next one hour and 13 minutes, Russell,
00:23:39.620 who had no formal flight training, flew around the Seattle area visiting Mount Rainier and the
00:23:44.960 Olympic Mountains. These guys are gorgeous. Holy smokes, he said over the radio. He also tried some
00:23:50.520 tricks. Hey, pilot guys. Hey, pilot guy. Can this thing do a backflip, you think? Russell asked a
00:23:57.280 nearby pilot. After a successful barrel roll, Russell refused to land the plane and said,
00:24:02.620 I was hoping, I was kind of hoping that was going to be it, you know. At 8.46 p.m., his plane crashed
00:24:08.700 on Keytron Island in Pudget Sound and Russell died. He was 28 years old. According to an FBI
00:24:17.340 police report or press report. Russell's crash was intentional. If the pilot had wanted to avoid
00:24:23.200 impact with the ground, he had time and energy to pull, pull the column back, raise the nose and
00:24:28.320 initiate a climb. The press, the press release reads. So why didn't he? Russell's death came
00:24:33.820 as a shock to his family and questions remain about his motivations. Here's what we do and
00:24:39.720 don't know about the incident. Did Russell know how to fly a plane? Russell did not have a pilot's
00:24:44.960 license or any formal training. However, through his job, he had basic knowledge of how to start
00:24:48.840 a plane. When an air traffic controller asked Russell if he felt comfortable flying the plane,
00:24:53.640 he responded, it's a blast, man. I played video games before, so you know. I know what I'm doing
00:24:58.620 a little bit. According to the FBI, Russell also searched for flight instruction videos online,
00:25:04.020 but his flight knowledge was limited. When an air traffic controller asked Russell if he was able to
00:25:09.060 tell his altitude, Russell said, I have no idea what all that means. I wouldn't know how to punch
00:25:13.800 it in. Russell's death was ruled as a suicide. After its investigation, the medical examiner's
00:25:21.040 office noted that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the death was intentional.
00:25:25.920 Russell made several statements during the flight that suggested his intention to crash,
00:25:30.620 including, I'm going to try to do a barrel roll, and if that goes good, I'm just going to nose down
00:25:34.720 and call it a night. Did Russell have an accomplice? No. Russell worked alone to steal
00:25:39.520 and crash the aircraft. According to the FBI, extensive investigative activity failed to reveal
00:25:45.660 any additional subjects involved the planning or execution of an unauthorized flight. Why did
00:25:52.180 Russell steal and crash the plane? Although Russell's motivations remain unknown, there are
00:25:56.280 several theories as to why he may have stolen and crashed the aircraft. Fear of imprisonment. During
00:26:02.220 the flight, Russell expressed concern about the legal consequences of his actions. This is probably
00:26:08.000 jail time for life, huh? I mean, I hope it would be for a guy like me. Fuel anxiety. Throughout his
00:26:14.400 flight, Russell expressed concern that he would run out of fuel or that something was wrong with
00:26:18.320 the plane. I've got to stop looking at that fuel because it's going to go down quick, he said.
00:26:23.000 Physical discomfort and disorientation. Russell experienced lightheadedness and dizziness during
00:26:27.960 his flight and even threw up at one point. Mental health issues. Although the FBI investigation did
00:26:33.340 not find evidence that Russell was suicidal prior to his flight. He hinted at mental health
00:26:38.980 struggles in the air. I'm just a broken guy with a few screws loose, I guess, but I never knew it
00:26:43.780 until now. Did Russell like his job? Russell enjoyed the travel benefits of his job with
00:26:48.740 Horizon Air, including trips to Alaska to visit his family, but he also complained about being
00:26:53.440 underpaid. Russell's team was paid below sea tax standard 15 an hour minimum wage, a fact he
00:27:00.640 mentioned in the air. Minimum wage, we'll chalk it up to that. Maybe that will grease some gears
00:27:06.580 a bit with the higher ups. The Richard Russell who stole a plane in 2018 is not to be confused
00:27:15.780 with Senator Richard Russell who died in 1971 at the age of 73. Okay, they're just going to
00:27:22.540 talk about that. Okay. Now we're going to watch the video. Um, let me see.
00:27:37.960 Here we go. Okay.
00:27:44.140 Hi, I'm Bebo Russell and I'm a ground service agent. That means I lift a lot of bags.
00:27:49.800 he had a college degree in social sciences like a lot of bags so many bags look at all them bags
00:28:00.340 oh a purple one i usually have to work outside in this
00:28:06.420 but it allows me to do some pretty cool things too
00:28:19.800 Seattle grounds, uh, horizon guy, um, about to take off. It's going to be crazy.
00:28:44.880 Aircraft on Charlie, uh, lining up one way, one six center.
00:28:48.600 say your call sign. The Dash 8 on Runway 16 Center, say your call sign. The Dash 8 on Runway 16 Center,
00:28:54.120 say your call sign. Who's the Dash 8 holding on Runway 16 Center? The guy in Alaska 322. That
00:29:00.920 aircraft was passed behind the horizon when he was taking off roll. I don't know what he was doing.
00:29:06.360 Who's the aircraft on Runway 16 Center? Wheels are smoking left and right as they are right now
00:29:12.360 as he's rolling down the runway. All right, I'm not even talking to him. He came flying out of the
00:29:16.760 The cargo area in front of Delta.
00:29:21.020 Came out of cargo area once.
00:29:22.840 There's just a single pilot.
00:29:25.780 Yeah, Tower, we can verify that too.
00:29:27.780 He's flying out of nowhere.
00:29:28.900 We thought this is somebody calling him in front of us, but he came flying it.
00:29:33.620 All right, thank you.
00:29:34.860 Tower, you need to call and scramble now.
00:29:37.720 No, we are.
00:29:40.580 Hey, Horizon Ground, you on?
00:29:42.360 See you on the ground, I mean.
00:29:43.680 Who is transmitting on the ramp?
00:29:45.580 Verizon guy, 449 Quebec X-Ray.
00:29:47.940 Yeah, 449.
00:29:49.160 What can I do for you?
00:29:50.560 Hey, I found myself in a bit of a predicament.
00:29:53.740 I'm in the air right now and just kind of soaring around.
00:29:58.160 449, are you not supposed to be on that aircraft?
00:30:00.740 Yeah, I did kind of a bad thing, kind of a selfish thing.
00:30:06.200 But it's all good.
00:30:07.460 I'm going to go check out Rainier.
00:30:09.860 Yeah, 449, so you hijacked the plane is what you're saying?
00:30:13.260 Yeah, I'm afraid I did. 0.88
00:30:20.400 What the hell? 1.00
00:30:22.360 Holy shit. 1.00
00:30:23.660 Oh my God. 1.00
00:30:24.580 What the fuck in Alaska Airlines Q400? 1.00
00:30:27.000 What the fuck is he doing over here? 0.99
00:30:30.920 Any idea if a Dash 8 Q400 can do a barrel roll? 0.99
00:30:36.980 Just flying the plane around.
00:30:38.840 Do you seem comfortable with that?
00:30:40.380 Oh, hell yeah, it's a blast, man. I've played video games before, so I, uh, you know, I know what I'm doing a little bit.
00:30:49.420 Nah, everything's peachy. Peachy clean. Just did a little circle around right here. It's beautiful.
00:30:57.360 I think I got some guests to go check out, uh, the Olympics. And, uh, yeah.
00:31:03.820 if you can see the olympics the weather is good i can see the olympics through my window
00:31:09.580 and it looks pretty good over there all right i hit some uh felt like turbulent around right
00:31:16.260 here but there's no clouds hardly oh that's just the uh the wind blowing over all the
00:31:21.900 bumpy surfaces there oh copy that
00:31:25.520 man have you been to the olympics you guys are gorgeous holy moat yeah i have been out there
00:31:36.400 it's it's always a nice drive
00:31:39.020 this is probably uh like jail time for life huh i mean i would hope it is for a guy like me 0.96
00:31:49.900 damn it andrew people's lives are at stake here 0.97
00:31:54.020 Now, Rich, don't say stuff like that. 1.00
00:31:58.020 Nah, I don't want to hear you. I just want you to whisper sweet nothing. This isn't my ear.
00:32:04.020 Hey, Rich, this is Captain Bill here. We're still listening. My airplane's doing just fine. How's yours?
00:32:11.020 I got a lot of people that care about me, and it's going to disappoint them to hear that I did this.
00:32:23.020 I would like to apologize to each and every one of them.
00:32:29.040 Just a broken guy.
00:32:31.580 Got a few screws loose, I guess.
00:32:33.960 Never really knew it until now.
00:32:37.880 Hey, pilot guy, can this thing do a back flip, you think?
00:32:43.080 Well, I try to figure out how to use the autopilot first.
00:32:47.380 If you were to do it, how would you do it?
00:32:49.480 Hey, you think if I land it successfully,
00:32:53.880 Alaska will give me a job as a pilot?
00:32:57.800 You know, I think they will give you a job doing anything
00:32:59.960 if you could pull this off.
00:33:01.680 Yeah, right.
00:33:04.140 I'm going to land it.
00:33:05.980 Like, uh, in a safe kind of manner.
00:33:10.100 I think I'm going to try to do a barrel roll.
00:33:13.660 And if that goes good, I'm just going to nose down
00:33:15.820 and call the night.
00:33:19.480 Thank you.
00:33:49.480 The ROC-4-1, the TOI-1 just completed a barrel roll.
00:33:54.720 ROC-1-2, the ROC-2 did a barrel roll.
00:33:57.380 A barrel, he cleared the surface of the water by approximately 10 feet.
00:34:02.160 It put ROC-2 from ROC-1, and the TOI-1 did a barrel roll and just barely missed hitting the water.
00:34:08.780 All right, Rich, this is Captain Bill.
00:34:10.820 Congratulations, he did that.
00:34:12.600 Now let's try to plane that airplane safely and not hurt anybody on the ground.
00:34:16.640 I don't know. I don't want to. I was kind of hoping that was going to be it, you know.
00:34:25.640 Long. I feel like one of my interests is going out or something.
00:34:46.640 I've watched this
00:34:59.060 like 20 times
00:35:00.780 like how does it got
00:35:04.520 oh my god
00:35:07.020 like
00:35:07.340 I get kind of emotional like watching this
00:35:10.980 because it's just like
00:35:11.860 I mean, he just did something that most pilots can't do. Like that's an insane
00:35:21.160 trick, right? Why, why was he doing the bags?
00:35:30.760 Okay. I'm going to bring up, I don't know. I want Doug MPA's take. Cause I just,
00:35:34.780 I found out about this yesterday and I'm like, what the fuck? 0.92
00:35:41.860 we could do a call-in show like why do you think he did it like why didn't let me read the actually 0.97
00:35:47.360 let me read the comments oh shit um because this is on x someone posted this on x on this day in 0.75
00:35:56.860 2018 28 year old richard russell forever known as sky king borrowed an airplane from the seattle 0.89
00:36:01.820 tacoma airport for a joyride for over an hour before crashing onto a remote island he did a
00:36:07.160 pretty epic barrel roll. You wonder what it felt like in the sunset to pull back on that stick
00:36:14.120 among the clouds, watching the horizon slip by as the plane came over, seeing the water rushing
00:36:18.380 towards him, doubtful of whether or not he was going to make it. He only made that roll by a few
00:36:22.560 degrees. It must have been the most exhilarating moment of his whole life. That altitude would
00:36:27.360 have felt like kissing the water. It must have felt like destiny, the plane practically skimming
00:36:32.420 the water, surrounded by the hills of the nearby islands, slingshotting back out that right bank
00:36:37.920 he made afterwards and all the speed he built from coming down. He clearly didn't expect to live. I
00:36:43.040 was kind of hoping it would be over, you know. It must have felt like a rebirth, a total willingness
00:36:47.520 to die, complete commitment to the cause. I'm expecting to avoid the water and then incomprehensible
00:36:53.180 exhilaration that only a few moments later he crashes into an empty island, going out in the
00:36:58.000 high note of his existence. In the moment of the image that it's used as a symbol, he is pulling
00:37:03.620 back hard through a bank after that role. I'm certain he has the biggest smile on his face and
00:37:09.080 he felt totally free. Nobody can copycat what he did because he did it on total faith with no
00:37:14.800 expectation of outcome. Rich was just a man trying to live. Others would just be men trying to be
00:37:20.500 rich. Richard Sky King Russell is the spirit of every person alive today in the West who has that
00:37:25.400 feeling, which is in more or less of us, that feeling of hopelessness and lack of purpose,
00:37:30.080 where one has no choice but to serve the machine and be extracted for their worth before they are
00:37:35.560 discarded, with the only thing to show for their toils the benefit of others' bank accounts. No
00:37:41.000 personal achievements, no fulfillments, no feeling of being alive. But he made it. He got out. In the
00:37:46.120 final act of a glorious rebellion, he slipped that surely the bonds of this earth we live on
00:37:51.380 and took himself for the greatest freedom man has ever known.
00:37:53.920 We're all Richard.
00:37:54.600 We all suffer under the crushing weight of the 21st century life that we created.
00:37:58.680 In short, our bodies last longer, but we never live.
00:38:01.160 He lived, if only for a brief, beautiful moment.
00:38:04.120 He lived truly as a free man, living man's oldest dream, completely free.
00:38:08.860 He soared through the skies and put on his hand and touched the face of God.
00:38:12.680 He is without question one of the greatest heroes to ever live,
00:38:15.540 and his final act of rebellion is, to me, unironically,
00:38:18.320 one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
00:38:21.380 um let's see what else fly high brother that airframe should be completely incapable of the 0.81
00:38:28.020 aerobatics that he pulled dude is a fucking legend sad story but I don't blame him for
00:38:32.560 ditching him there that would have been an ungodly prison sentence I'm curious if you 0.95
00:38:36.520 guys have thoughts on how long you think his prison sentence would have been
00:38:39.520 I don't know why maybe it's the woman in me but I feel as though he would it
00:38:51.320 wouldn't have done life. I just don't know how anybody could hear that and not have sympathy
00:38:57.640 for the guy. Some people are comparing him to George Floyd.
00:39:21.320 I don't think he tried to land the airplane.
00:39:29.220 I think he was trying to kill himself.
00:39:31.640 Let's be honest.
00:39:32.600 It's rather clear from the audio from start to finish that he planned to kill himself.
00:39:36.320 He went out in a fantastic way.
00:39:42.060 I don't think he heard anybody, so it kind of was.
00:39:45.400 All right.
00:39:47.580 Ten years max.
00:39:51.320 Fifteen.
00:39:57.840 Fifteen.
00:40:04.840 So if he was about 30, let's say, by like the time the trial is done, because I think he was 28.
00:40:13.800 Fifteen years, he's 45.
00:40:15.580 Yeah, that kind of is life.
00:40:21.320 Yeah. I'm going to put the thing in the chat, but I don't know. I just keep, oh, I'm going
00:40:32.100 to watch one more video before I bring Doug up. I keep on, I can't even put how much this
00:40:41.940 has like taken over my mental space the last day. I stayed up so late last night because
00:40:47.460 I just couldn't I'm just like speechless I don't even have words it like gets me emotional watching
00:40:56.460 the video you think he would have gotten around 35 years number one thing that correlates with
00:41:05.400 male suicide is not depression this is super scary there's one study I saw recently that
00:41:09.980 suggests that 50 percent of men who kill themselves have no history or evidence of
00:41:14.340 mental illness. I believe the statistic in my clinical practice because I know what depression
00:41:18.440 looks like. I know what bipolar disorder looks like. And half the men that I've worked with at
00:41:22.400 least are not actually mentally ill. See, mental illness means a pathology of the mind, which means
00:41:27.520 that the mind is malfunctioning. Most of the suicidal men that I work with, their mind isn't
00:41:30.940 malfunctioning. They genuinely have a life that is no longer worth living. They're looking at
00:41:35.420 things and objectively realizing that there's no way out of the situation. So they turn to suicide.
00:41:39.800 So I know it's kind of like a very controversial statement, but I think that's what my clinical
00:41:43.420 practices shown and there's some research to even back that up so if we sort of look at what's going
00:41:46.820 on with men we're sort of they have nowhere to turn to and the number one thing that correlates
00:41:50.660 with it is not mental illness but it's a sense of thwarted belongingness but basically what
00:41:54.720 happens is what causes people to kill themselves is they try to connect with others and they get
00:41:59.160 rejected so the number one thing that correlates with male suicide is not depression this is super
00:42:04.520 scary there's one it's kind of crazy though because he had friends it wasn't like they
00:42:10.560 apparently he was at his high school reunion a little bit ago um so if any of you have ever had
00:42:16.080 a friend commit suicide or you know somebody that's been in that situation or maybe you
00:42:20.960 yourself have thought about it uh just thoughts on the topic um you can i'm gonna put the link
00:42:30.480 in the chat and then doug mpa is gonna come up all right doug mpa give me your thoughts
00:42:35.760 so yeah you know i'm from western washington so um i remember when this happened and probably
00:42:47.200 you got to understand western washington like you know that's what i always tell
00:42:54.720 i always tell black people that always talk about this white supremacy and white people have 0.61
00:42:59.120 so privileged and stuff the average person particularly the average white guy doesn't
00:43:04.800 have a lot of privilege if at all the average white guy is just trying to get by they're like
00:43:11.760 sky king working some job making 15 an hour oh is my volume low i don't maybe a little bit i
00:43:22.000 can hear you okay yeah my microphone keeps i was just putting the i was just putting the link in
00:43:26.560 the chat is that better yeah that's better it's a little higher the volume on my microphone let me
00:43:33.360 give me one second that's okay if anyone else wants to call in um i don't have like a specific
00:43:44.320 question but just i don't know your thoughts on the story if you know somebody that's in that
00:43:49.200 situation if you've like what if you ever thought about suicide what your mind like was going
00:43:54.240 through your mind um because like i'm just watching this video and i'm like this guy's funny um
00:44:03.360 He's clearly talented, you know.
00:44:14.980 It's just crazy he did that, you know.
00:44:24.240 I think I watched this TikTok on it.
00:44:26.840 I saw it on TikTok first.
00:44:28.800 and um it just is such a shame because he had his whole life ahead of him and you have no idea
00:44:37.200 where it would have taken you you know okay is this better keep talking
00:44:50.040 yeah something's off yeah um your phone usually my phone audio is not bad yeah yeah
00:45:00.720 devin stack did a good video on him let me see it while we're waiting for doug
00:45:13.380 I just had never heard of this story
00:45:43.380 You guys think he was on drugs?
00:46:07.380 Okay, so you think it's working a minimum wage job, underpaid, repetitive, no future prospects,
00:46:13.380 probably broke him. Like he had kids. It wasn't like he didn't have, like he was married. He had
00:46:18.680 kids, had friends. Yeah. I didn't see anything about a divorce. So maybe
00:46:36.140 you think he was dominated by his wife
00:46:42.120 most men are right you think she terminated him possibly right i just didn't you know i like to
00:46:51.700 give the benefit of the doubt you know i wonder if terrence is this would be a good one for
00:46:59.840 Terrence to call in on actually. Where's my phone? I'm going to see if he's free. Give
00:47:07.640 me a second. Are you busy now? I would love your commentary on Sky King if you have time.
00:47:29.840 I'm going to send him the link
00:47:34.520 emailing you
00:47:36.520 link if you have time
00:47:38.560 hop on
00:47:39.400 I'm kind of sporadic
00:47:42.420 I'm not the best to work with
00:47:43.840 because I just sporadically stream
00:47:45.660 so it's like
00:47:47.680 okay let me
00:47:59.840 Look on 4chan. The lore is there. Okay, 4chan. What should I put in? He didn't have a solid
00:48:17.040 family. Okay, let's see. 4chan Sky King. Lore? Do I type in lore? The 4chan Perspectives, it says,
00:48:30.520 his actions were a desperate reaction to the hopelessness of being a white guy in a dead-end
00:48:42.060 job. Russell became an avatar for the sometimes alt-right concept of the clown world, a term used
00:48:48.360 to describe society perceived as absurd, chaotic, and hostile to certain individuals.
00:48:54.640 His audio logs with the air traffic control
00:49:12.060 .
00:49:42.060 oh my god did i accidentally x myself sorry guys
00:49:55.660 um my bad my bad on i went on to 4chan it just said look at 4chan the lore is there
00:50:05.320 Small William Bear is here.
00:50:11.980 No, they didn't get me.
00:50:13.440 I just...
00:50:13.920 All right, Duggan.
00:50:17.220 Is this better?
00:50:19.560 Yeah, it's okay.
00:50:20.620 It's a little bit off still, but it's not the worst.
00:50:23.140 Like, I can understand you, okay?
00:50:25.400 Yeah, okay.
00:50:26.960 I gotta check and see why my microphone keeps turning down the volume when I'm on a stream yard.
00:50:31.460 Okay, so, you know, I'm black.
00:50:34.660 and it always makes you laugh when people when black people talk about oh yeah white guys and 0.56
00:50:39.900 white privilege that's the average white guy is just a guy trying to trying to make it that's it
00:50:46.220 makes about you know um you know 47 000 a year is in some dead-end job he's probably married
00:50:55.120 some bits that can't stand him but he's enduring for his wife and kids that's what the average
00:51:01.520 white guy is and and sky king he was living in western washington guys one of the most liberal 0.96
00:51:10.560 feminist garbage dumps in the west yeah uh sky king is the ultimate example but the villainized 1.00
00:51:21.600 white guys and i have no idea why the average white guy is not benefiting from white supremacy 1.00
00:51:28.880 or the patriarchy or all this garbage he was throwing bags for three years throwing bags 1.00
00:51:35.840 in the rain in the cold and the snow 0.99
00:51:40.640 that's the average life for for the average man it doesn't matter if you're hispanic white black 0.97
00:51:49.040 he was the average guy what makes you think um because most men have done like shitty jobs in 0.53
00:51:56.240 in their life you know so what do you think pushed him over the end edge you know like why like yeah
00:52:02.960 go ahead uh i think i think there's a combination of hopelessness and opportunity um me you know i
00:52:13.760 don't think that you should take yourself out guys you know i believe that one person can make a
00:52:18.240 difference and you know men most of the time if you're feeling like this you haven't found your
00:52:24.480 purpose or you haven't found a passion um but oh you know every so often there's a person like this
00:52:34.320 where they just don't see a way out and a lot of us guys have that fantasy where have you seen
00:52:39.840 that meme where like a lot of guys that they want to go out in a blaze of glory so they go out
00:52:44.960 you know facing a wave of like enemy soldiers with a rifle and grenades and stuff and they
00:52:50.400 They want to go out in a blaze of glory.
00:52:52.840 That's a fantasy of a lot of guys.
00:52:54.760 It's just we don't act on it.
00:52:56.320 Because remember, guys, you can't stop police people.
00:52:59.620 A lot of guys, they think about this every day,
00:53:01.980 but it's not a lot of guys who actually do it.
00:53:04.720 It's like on Fight Club.
00:53:05.960 You guys remember Fight Club?
00:53:08.760 Tyler Durden said a lot of guys talk to themselves 0.85
00:53:11.800 and they do stuff, or they're kind of mentally ill, 0.69
00:53:15.620 but the guy from Fight Club was the guy that actually ran with
00:53:19.380 like a split personality a lot of guys related to to sky king you're just on the nowhere train
00:53:27.360 and sky king he decided to get off the train once again guys i don't think that you should
00:53:32.600 take yourselves out once again if you find a purpose and a passion or you divorce that
00:53:37.480 that has her her boot on your neck you you can live a good life guys but he just decided you
00:53:44.660 know for his thoughts to turn into action but there are plenty of men who think like sky can
00:53:50.600 every day for 20 30 years while they're going into the coal mines while they're climbing the 0.99
00:53:55.900 power poles you know coming home to some bitch yell it and scream at him yeah and there's no 1.00
00:54:02.700 resources either because i mean before the red pill content actually that's actually a good 0.97
00:54:08.200 question for you do you think there's been an increase in resources for men over the last 20
00:54:13.860 years because of the red pill like do you think it's better for a guy today than it was like 10
00:54:18.420 20 years ago the same or worse so the key to red pill is men are are better equipped to make 1.00
00:54:29.460 decisions for them than the 50 years ago because here's the thing men are creatures of action we're 0.99
00:54:36.500 gonna act but remember society wants men emasculated and ignorant and dumb because masculine uh 0.97
00:54:46.820 intelligent well-informed men society can't get away with a lot of stuff men hold people 0.99
00:54:53.460 accountable men men are disciplined we impose structure law order and and that's even better 0.97
00:55:04.500 when we have the knowledge to be able to make good decisions. Women can't be doing what they're 1.00
00:55:09.940 doing. Society can't be doing what they're doing if it wasn't for so many emasculated, ignorant, 1.00
00:55:18.120 stupid, unproductive men. Yeah. And I don't think a man can really be blindsided the way he used to 1.00
00:55:25.640 be. I guess maybe some men will simp through it all. Right. But like, I don't think a man
00:55:33.480 getting married today can say that he didn't see it coming but a guy yes 30 40 years ago
00:55:39.440 like do you know what i'm saying like the he a guy today i mean he's probably seen his mother 1.00
00:55:45.420 be a bitch his grandmother be a bitch and his great-grandmother be a bitch you know maybe the 1.00
00:55:49.720 great-grandma wasn't but like my grandma separated from they weren't divorced but my grandparents 1.00
00:55:55.040 were separated before she died you know because she wouldn't listen to him you know go ahead
00:56:00.980 Well, think about this. So, believe it or not, there are less black men getting black women pregnant and making them single mothers than like 20 years ago.
00:56:15.960 and even if uh a young black boy or a black man growing up didn't have a father in the house
00:56:25.320 he's seen uh his sisters his mother his aunts his grandmas who were all single mothers 0.56
00:56:33.720 you know getting dicked down and he's like i don't want to do that
00:56:37.240 so you know um interacting with women and their foolishness can still make men change the 1.00
00:56:47.960 decisions and how they will they navigate through life and so and here's the thing guys
00:56:55.000 channels like pearls to channels like mine and other red pill channels that i know you
00:57:00.120 wouldn't say oh yeah just don't get married don't have kids that's the reality is in my lifetime
00:57:06.360 because i'm in my mid 40s in my lifetime we're not going to see a below 50 percent marriage rate
00:57:12.600 guys are still going to get married and still going to have kids the goal is like terrence
00:57:18.440 pop's goal terrence pop wants to save as many lives as he can because his goal is that way
00:57:25.160 because he's accepted that men are going to get to this place he's here to help when they get there
00:57:30.920 you know i'm the same way guys like men are going to keep getting married to these broads 1.00
00:57:35.640 keep having kids but i just don't want to see these guys doing a sky king or you know crying
00:57:42.040 into the front camera of their phones in their car she left me it's like guys you get married
00:57:48.440 but make sure to have a plan not if but when she leaves terrence wants to actually have a zero
00:57:55.080 percent divorce and birth rate that's actually what he wants and the prediction to save the
00:58:02.440 basketball court yeah it'd be cool if you got 200 signatures it's on my twitter
00:58:09.080 uh that's the thing with when rich cooper was talking to andrew wilson and uh rich cooper said
00:58:15.480 hey like i want there to be a zero percent divorce rate and and she's like that's not realistic oh
00:58:21.560 yeah we sure can we sure can try can't we because guys the the divorce system is so bad and divorce 1.00
00:58:30.120 scrape is so bad that not one man should have to go through that not one one is too many one is too
00:58:37.000 many guys so you know i don't want any man to have to go through divorce or go through what sky king
00:58:46.040 through it and just be living an average dead-end life and then just decide to get off the train
00:58:53.800 like one man doing this is too many um hold on i'm gonna did my coffee talk taken no it didn't okay
00:59:07.080 i'm sorry so so yeah um if you had asked me okay about stacking
00:59:16.520 you know he was just he he got a degree in social sciences he had like all these goals
00:59:22.200 and stuff but i'm telling you like live in western washington you you're a baggage handler for three
00:59:28.680 years he probably had all these you know all these expectations and people calling him a loser and 0.95
00:59:34.920 you know and he's one of the evil white men who are supposed to have all this privilege and all 0.90
00:59:40.120 this power and stuff and he's like look man i'm i'm getting off this train uh if you can think 0.90
00:59:45.320 of store three stories call in call in tell me them you know kyle welcome to the show um do you
00:59:52.280 have a story comment or you know where were you when the stacking thing happened uh i was in college
00:59:59.080 hello girl hello um yeah i had kind of i also was suicidal at one point and for me i got really sick
01:00:06.360 and i just kind of felt like because of that i wasn't gonna do the things i wanted i wasn't
01:00:10.840 going to be able to do things i wanted to do and i think for sky king it was a combination of like
01:00:16.360 not having purpose and also not feeling like he was wanted kind of like what doug was saying
01:00:21.800 how close were you to actually committing um i never had a serious attempt but i thought about
01:00:28.920 it for a very long time and did your life like improve after um did you find purpose after yes
01:00:36.680 i found the purpose uh i'm going to school for engineering right now uh and it was kind of just
01:00:42.040 family and seeing my brother uh my younger brother do really well kind of encouraged me to
01:00:47.640 stick with it and keep going what age were you considering it and then what age are you like
01:00:54.520 what age did your life turn around uh so when i was seriously considering it i was like 13 14
01:01:01.080 and things started turning around when i was i would say like 20 21. okay
01:01:09.640 um so what why do you think he did it you think it was something similar um i think for him it
01:01:16.760 was lack of purpose and also just not being wanted right like he's in an area where people like him
01:01:22.840 were kind of demonized and so for men i think it's really hard when you don't feel like you're
01:01:28.840 contributing or like you don't feel like you're wanted and i would juxtapose that with working
01:01:34.760 hard you're working hard coming home tired every day and you just feel like you're not contributing
01:01:41.800 you're not making a difference that there's no way to happiness or satisfaction or fulfillment
01:01:48.200 it's like men a lot of us we how we got here in society pearly men have sacrificed their emotional
01:01:55.800 mental physical monetary and spiritual health for god country community family children and women
01:02:05.320 and that's still going on right now but the biggest difference now is women are on men 1.00
01:02:11.800 society are putting women over men and these men are still the cost is still the same for men 0.69
01:02:18.760 kyle when you considered it did women play a factor in it at all was it because you're only 13
01:02:24.040 or 14 where did you feel like you weren't getting ahead was it dating was it like you weren't doing
01:02:29.880 well in school um yeah i mean it was just i wasn't doing well in school um never really did well with
01:02:37.160 girls at that age um but funnily enough it was a woman that like couldn't kind of kept me around 1.00
01:02:43.080 uh my mom was like a huge part of like the reason i stayed like my support system at home and so i
01:02:48.920 I wonder if for Sky King,
01:02:50.820 if he had a effective support system at home with like his wife and his
01:02:55.140 kids,
01:02:55.520 that sort of thing.
01:02:56.560 Yeah.
01:02:56.740 Probably not.
01:02:57.620 Probably not.
01:02:58.480 Okay.
01:02:59.080 Well,
01:02:59.480 thanks for,
01:03:00.020 thanks for calling in Kyle.
01:03:01.620 I'm glad,
01:03:02.220 I'm glad things got better for you.
01:03:03.940 Yeah.
01:03:04.540 Yeah.
01:03:04.880 Thanks for still being here,
01:03:06.180 man.
01:03:07.140 We really appreciate you still being here,
01:03:08.980 man.
01:03:09.200 Honestly.
01:03:09.520 Yeah.
01:03:09.720 You're struggling with me now.
01:03:10.680 Appreciate it.
01:03:11.260 Have a good one.
01:03:13.820 Great call.
01:03:15.320 So that guy says a really good call.
01:03:18.920 um yeah guys call in tell me have you ever considered suicide if you have um what changed
01:03:27.080 your mind or do you do you have a a friend a close family member either either committed
01:03:33.320 or tried um two attempts here i'm glad they didn't work things are far more manageable
01:03:38.600 now i got a dog and the difference to my life is stark she's amazing 1.00
01:03:42.200 um i would also say guys you know any of the young men in your lives whether they're your
01:03:49.960 sons nephews or whatever you got to tell them that they men used to be the best version of themselves
01:03:56.600 for a legacy for women for family women have rewritten that social contract guys 1.00
01:04:04.120 they need to be the best version of themselves because they have a a obligation to just being a
01:04:09.720 man be the best version of yourself not for women not for family because you you might not get one 1.00
01:04:17.160 but but you can still find purpose and still do your best i had a lot of military friends
01:04:22.920 committed all of them had similarities well what what are the similar call in i'm telling you
01:04:29.400 um the closest thing i know of people turning to suicide is becoming a crackhead
01:04:35.000 yeah i'll do it um yeah i guess you know i just see a lot of men struggling from you know i told
01:04:47.240 you my favorite saying is um the 20th century was women rewriting the social rules to society 1.00
01:04:53.640 and the 21st century is going to be men responding and so we're still having men just trying to
01:04:59.480 figure out you know if i i might not have a family or the family i have is terrible
01:05:05.240 and doesn't appreciate me like what do i do um trump has been do you agree with this trump
01:05:11.800 bringing back the war is is um the best thing for men's morale they see a purpose growing on 0.88
01:05:20.280 the horizon agree or disagree uh i mean foreign wars though you know like another sandbox
01:05:29.480 i don't know about that man like you know there has to be a way for men to find a perfect besides
01:05:36.520 going to some sandbox and some freaking desert hell hole and getting shot up you know what i'm 0.68
01:05:41.640 saying doug do you know anyone that was gonna commit suicide um i i knew a guy when i was young 0.93
01:05:51.000 and he worked at the bank i went to he was in his mid-20s and he he took himself out and he was
01:05:57.240 actually dating one of my friends at the time and she didn't see it coming was she i mean
01:06:09.400 do you think she drove him to it or do you think it was well so the friend of mine she 0.94
01:06:14.920 was a very good looking girl and you know like in high school at eight but when she 0.98
01:06:20.200 got older at seven and she she got like fake boobs and everything and um this guy was just like
01:06:27.240 a schlub like he was she was out of his league and uh i mean i don't know how that played into 0.76
01:06:35.200 it but um he was kind of a a fatter kind of a mousy kind of guy and then he gets with this girl 0.87
01:06:43.360 who's fake boobs and kind of plastic and stuff like that and just the dynamic was just really
01:06:49.100 weird i haven't seen it together i'm like how does that work like what um similarities lack
01:06:55.440 of, is this, would you agree with this? Um, one of the guys in the chat says the lack of
01:06:59.600 the similarities in his friends that committed suicide or lack of discipline, decline in health
01:07:04.280 and zero social support. Yeah. Yeah. I would agree with that. If you have a friend that was
01:07:11.460 in decent shape and he really starts to let his health go and, um, or, you know, who has a regimen
01:07:18.720 and stop is doing that regimen you gotta look into you you gotta see if he's okay like if you
01:07:25.520 if you're a gym buddy that just stops going to the gym for four or five months without an injury
01:07:31.840 or you know he he's gained like a whole bunch of weight or something like that
01:07:35.600 yeah you gotta check in on him uh is this sean yeah yeah yeah what's going on what's up man
01:07:43.280 what what's your thought on the topic did um why do you think sky king did it do you know anybody
01:07:51.140 that's committed and you yourself have you ever thought about committing um yeah general thoughts
01:07:59.240 on the topic go ahead yeah i mean for sky king it's just hard for somebody to figure that out
01:08:04.540 it's all in your head so whatever the reason he did it is you know with him so nobody would know
01:08:10.440 that um as far as have i had other people yeah as a combat veteran right um even having ptsd
01:08:17.720 you have thought to these different things i had friends that do it not so direct maybe like od
01:08:23.400 right through drugs so they took the kind of a slow long way out it's a very complex thing
01:08:31.320 especially you know always help tell men it's funny because the mind is so marvelous we can do
01:08:38.040 a lot of great things like we can create reusable rockets but with the same mindset you can also
01:08:42.920 delete yourself and so if it goes into a place it could take you there and you have to be careful
01:08:51.000 dealing with such things and but but i always think it's about lens and perspective i have
01:08:55.320 thought about that of course in my long life coming back from iraq trying to grapple with
01:09:00.760 everything and not only coming back from iraq i spent years in clandestine operations
01:09:05.560 so i've seen things that you don't even know exist senators don't have a top secret security
01:09:10.120 clearance but it takes a while to actually get what's in your mind or what used to be in your
01:09:16.280 mind attached to the reality and be able to stabilize yourself why do you think veterans
01:09:22.520 struggle so much um is it just like they get nightmares when they get back and they can't
01:09:27.000 handle it or like what is is it like their wife coming at them like just in your experience 0.86
01:09:33.960 anecdotally why do they struggle so much with it uh in my experience they struggle with it because
01:09:40.200 they can't balance their mindset with reality so they had some conditioning which is probably like
01:09:46.200 you know we only go to wars for peace and love or hey you know whatever the reason is right like
01:09:52.600 you thought you were going to war and when you go and you figure out that that's not the reason or
01:09:57.800 you don't agree with things that had happened and you've seen what the true conditions of war are
01:10:02.680 it's not you know cod it's not call of duty it's far from call of duty um then you go back to the
01:10:09.080 states and then the conduits are you know from my experience when i was getting back from iraq
01:10:14.920 you know our commanders told us like hey don't go get help don't you know don't do none of that
01:10:20.160 psycho bs stuff and they weren't being evil they were trying to help us because back then it was
01:10:24.560 a stigma that came with it so your career was basically done if you did have issues
01:10:28.680 but net net a lot of people are just trying to deal with that how do they call themselves a good
01:10:35.140 human or you know was it just and that's the issue and then you're kind of isolated you're
01:10:41.340 imagine you know you're in charge of billion dollars equipment you're getting explosions
01:10:46.100 you're seeing your brothers pass away and then you go back and you're at walmart and you see people
01:10:51.300 like having a meltdown because maybe the beans are not available in aisle seven like it's just a big
01:10:58.460 change that you know a lot of veterans can't connect to anymore they're still in the battlefield
01:11:05.960 right it's like oh my gosh honey oh my gosh we had you know becky she had a terrible day today
01:11:15.440 did you know what happened in school and he was like really you know like it's so
01:11:19.100 so did you know anybody that actually ended up going through with it fully
01:11:24.380 yeah yeah my battle buddy not too long ago so that's what caused my issues um actually i was
01:11:31.520 pretty good for a long time but when he passed away he did it slow but he owed deed over a long
01:11:38.280 period of time um what was the catalyst for him would you say was it um like getting divorced
01:11:46.420 was it what you just described i think it was just a loss of purpose of life and a hard time
01:11:55.580 dealing with things that he dealt with when we was downrange and you know he was on the indian 0.67
01:12:01.580 reservation so it kind of sucks balls there so he was there and you know how that kind of those 0.96
01:12:08.020 reservations do have like those dark holes in them right like native americans are either drinking 1.00
01:12:13.940 or they're doing drugs i've heard a reservation so i've heard the crime rate is worse than the
01:12:18.900 hood actually and reservation i don't know if that's true but i've heard it's worse than the
01:12:23.780 south side of chicago no idea if that's true just something i heard yeah yeah no it's pretty bad
01:12:30.040 man so he went there and it was kind of just like wasn't a great environment to put yourself in
01:12:35.440 but that's where his family was so i've tried on aliving myself four times um the last time was
01:12:42.120 only six months ago i think it's a fear that we aren't good enough and it's only a matter of time
01:12:46.420 before everyone sees us as not worthy of anyone's love yeah do you remember the whole sky king thing
01:13:00.500 like 2018 no it's probably downrange so 2008 no i'll be right back doug mpa one second
01:13:17.780 yeah like i said i'm from western washington and guys it's a liberal freaking hell hold it 0.78
01:13:23.540 it's a liberal feminist hellhole and you know i tell all you guys if you live in california 1.00
01:13:30.500 um uh oregon or washington just move if you can just move 0.86
01:13:38.560 move yeah true
01:13:44.180 why my microphone
01:13:48.620 so um but yeah you know i was talking earlier about the whole you know the the average white
01:14:00.480 guy he's just he's trying to get by oh man i'm so sorry guys i'm gonna get back on my phone
01:14:07.760 okay cool yeah i think it's a big big serious thing but i i think also i think somebody in
01:14:18.640 the chat was just saying it like when it comes down to you we're not entitled to anything and
01:14:23.480 so once you kind of get your grips around that you can build out your life any way you see fit
01:14:27.700 but you're not entitled to a great family you're not entitled to kids you're not entitled to
01:14:32.440 anything we just got to work our way through that i don't know if sky king was able to remember that
01:14:38.500 or if he lost that and that's what happened but everything is just speculation we won't know
01:14:44.360 only he will i watched i watched you like i watched you like 10 times
01:14:49.980 yeah i could see you were kind of really captured by it you were just watching it
01:14:57.700 uh okay yeah i gotta figure out why my microphone i don't confuse so low but anyway
01:15:06.420 it might sound a little bad but i kind of use ope i don't know if you ever heard of opm like
01:15:12.340 other people's money but i use ope other people's experience a lot of time um that helps me a lot
01:15:18.580 back then it really helped me get out of the phases because it was just like i would look
01:15:23.140 over and i'll see some kid with like stage four cancer and then i'm like looking at what i'm
01:15:27.700 going through and then just have a comparison like damn you know at least i got to live life
01:15:33.180 and be a 25 year old and this person's going out and they're age five and then they're still 0.95
01:15:39.060 probably having a good attitude i remember seeing people with like no legs getting a car accident 1.00
01:15:45.440 and they can't walk anymore and i'm like how are you happy you have no legs oh my gosh you ever
01:15:51.480 meet the kindest people ever are people that were once really sick i don't know if you ever met
01:15:57.260 someone like i have a cousin that was he almost died he got to like make a wish and everything
01:16:02.540 and they did some experimental like leukemia treatment and he's like one of the few kids
01:16:07.260 that like beat leukemia and went on to like live a full life and stuff but he was he's always like
01:16:13.740 the nicest guy because he's just so grateful to be like when they've like fought for just to like
01:16:20.700 breathe and live like that they just become such humble people they don't want to fight about
01:16:24.460 anything because it's not worth it or like imagine you you're staring death in the eye
01:16:29.980 two things so um when i was an undergrad i worked at a lowe's and you know um uh i was like to work
01:16:38.860 outside on the garden register because i was a cashier and i always remember this guy
01:16:44.300 especially in the summertime where it was really really hot in the summertime and no one to go out
01:16:49.580 there but i was like well let me just go out there so i can space out or whatever and so this guy he
01:16:54.380 would come in he had this really nice house and he was completely redoing his backyard this older
01:16:59.100 guy and he'd always need bricks whatever and there'd be no one out there so he'd always you
01:17:03.340 know i'd have to call for the forklift driver and it would take him forever to get out there so we
01:17:06.700 started talking and stuff and uh i would always apologize for it taking so long for him to get
01:17:12.140 his bricks whatever and this white guy he was nice as hell he's like son why do you always apologize 0.57
01:17:17.740 i said well you're always waiting out here he's like son look let me tell you when i was young
01:17:22.060 i was a hothead you know i used to fight everybody yell and scream whatever then i got drafted and i
01:17:28.060 did two tours in vietnam yeah and he said you know what he's like i came back from that i
01:17:37.500 i've never been upset since he's like all that was lost in vietnam he's i was fortunate enough
01:17:43.420 to make it through two tours life is precious and you know i still have my life and i always
01:17:48.940 remember when he said that then i can also say i met this kid when i was young and he had this rare
01:17:55.100 disease and uh he he he had to have this medication and he had a allergic reaction to the medication
01:18:03.340 so he had a stroke and he had to learn to walk and talk again and stuff and i thought i saw him
01:18:08.940 when he had just got out of the hospital he he he was learning how to walk again then i started 0.99
01:18:14.640 working with him at this job and he was an asshole and i'm like didn't you survive cancer 0.99
01:18:21.900 or something why is it a dickhead yeah so i mean i think the majority of the time it's like what 1.00
01:18:27.940 you're talking about but there are some people where you know they're they're assholeness will 0.96
01:18:32.940 shine through yeah they're pissed they got it well that's really all my thoughts on the topic
01:18:38.480 i just wanted to do a stream on it because i just couldn't believe i was just kind of speechless
01:18:44.560 when i saw the story because i've i'd never heard of it go ahead and this happened back in 2018.
01:18:51.520 so yeah a lot of us guys we know about sky king and you know sometimes you want to get off the
01:18:58.560 train but guys stay on the train it'll get better man you know don't you you can't contribute if
01:19:04.960 you're not here and that and honestly one person can make a difference guys and if and and it could
01:19:12.080 be you so stay stay as long as you can for the people that love you to love you as long as you
01:19:17.780 can and you know i'll say one last thing whenever polled men say that they want you know a wife and 0.90
01:19:27.540 kids or they're prioritizing family more than women i think it's like 58 like 22 right and
01:19:33.760 women are like see that that's proof that men need women and women don't need men men men are 0.93
01:19:42.400 going to be honest and say they want a wife and children although they can accept that they're
01:19:46.660 never going to get one men are honest we are realistic women are so delusional that only 22 1.00
01:19:52.360 percent of women do will say that they want a family and children when i would argue it's 1.00
01:19:56.440 probably 80 percent understand what I'm saying guys um accept what you can accept what you can
01:20:04.240 work hard and do your best to get what you can out of life and accept what you can't you know
01:20:10.280 yeah Sean you got any final thoughts on the topic um yeah I mean just just something that I
01:20:21.080 utilized was ope just other people's experience um if you if you have empathy you can really tap
01:20:27.560 into that as a superpower which i did when i got back i was always looking at it through the lens
01:20:32.920 of why did i survive and i just changed that lens which is all my other battle buddies didn't
01:20:39.400 and i'm blessed to be alive so i need to live life for them and so they would you know give
01:20:45.400 probably everything if they could have been the ones to survive but they didn't and so net net
01:20:51.080 what do i look like you know offing myself after they you know what i'm saying they didn't have a
01:20:56.120 choice in that situation and so i kind of just you know change my lens and my perspective on it
01:21:02.680 and stop being so me me me and really look at the grander picture and i think what doug just said
01:21:08.680 what you just said um everybody has their own ride but i think when you really tap into your
01:21:15.000 potential and do the best that you can do and worry about your mind i call it going to the
01:21:19.560 mental lab and doing the interior work that's the only person that owes you anything in this world
01:21:24.920 nobody else period you owe yourself that utopia that paradise what women do what my family do 1.00
01:21:33.640 what the next person does is irrelevant it's all about what you're going to do with this life and
01:21:37.800 i'm telling you can create gardening eden right here on earth with your own life so i say that
01:21:42.920 you suggest i suggest that you go out there and go get it and enjoy it brother yeah i'm someone
01:21:50.120 not saying sorry guys you we're we're men right men we changed the world we built society you
01:21:59.400 you were born a man right like being a man is like the greatest journey we could possibly have
01:22:07.320 you know men you know men's names ring through the annals of history you know what i'm saying
01:22:13.640 great men you are a man embrace it sack up you know do your best you don't have to conquer the
01:22:21.640 world but just do your best and i'm gonna say it one last time men of the past used to you
01:22:26.760 you should try to do the best for for a family women and children now that that's changed do
01:22:33.400 it for yourself do it because you're a man cool thanks for calling in guys of course please
01:22:45.640 um my final thought is that life is short try divorce
01:22:50.440 look if a woman's if a woman's driving you right 1.00
01:22:55.720 try a divorce try that first not not saying it's always married men that do but if you're married
01:23:01.560 guy and your wife is torturing you at home, try a divorce first. Try it. I mean, you can off 1.00
01:23:08.660 yourself after the divorce. If it gets too bad, do you know what I mean? You can just, you can do it
01:23:13.020 later. Try it. Try a divorce. Try, you know, applying for something you're not qualified for.
01:23:20.860 You never know. Try it. Maybe don't steal a plane, but try something crazy. You know,
01:23:27.120 what if he took that energy that he did stealing a plane and just tried to you know do something 0.98
