00:00:47.100 In the earliest of times,
00:00:49.920 humans shared the planet with animals of different natures and qualities.
00:00:54.400 Those animals worked alongside the humans
00:00:58.160 and created an ecosystem that benefited all species.
00:01:03.780 Until one species decided it was time to change the rules.
00:01:10.280 A new term was born.
00:01:13.300 That term being...
00:01:14.400 Chimp Out.
00:01:32.980 You know me.
00:01:33.720 I'm real hip and cool with all the new slang.
00:01:35.320 Well, apparently there's a new term.
00:01:37.940 Chimp Out.
00:01:38.480 And there are all these videos and posts on social media
00:01:43.020 that show chimping out.
00:01:46.620 That's the verb.
00:01:47.860 Just a ton of chimping out.
00:01:49.680 Everywhere.
00:01:50.220 All over the place.
00:01:51.820 In America.
00:01:52.680 Outside of America.
00:01:54.100 And so I told the producers,
00:01:55.480 I said,
00:01:56.020 look, I don't really know anything about this,
00:01:57.720 but it's a social media trend,
00:01:59.960 and we got to be on it.
00:02:01.220 You know, we're on the culture.
00:02:02.700 We're hip.
00:02:03.260 We're cool guys.
00:02:03.900 How do you do, fellow kids?
00:02:05.820 What?
00:02:06.520 So I want you to get me
00:02:08.780 all the most shocking, wild,
00:02:12.760 hilarious, dramatic videos of chimp outs
00:02:16.000 anywhere in the world.
00:02:19.280 I have not seen these chimp outs yet,
00:02:22.260 but the producers tell me
00:02:24.100 this is absolute peak chimping.
00:02:29.120 Take it away.
00:02:33.900 It's so cute.
00:02:42.220 You know, I wouldn't do this
00:02:44.340 because I've,
00:02:47.000 like, I would never play around with a monkey
00:02:49.220 or take a monkey into my home or something
00:02:50.920 because they're really, really cute
00:02:52.700 until they rip your face off.
00:02:54.360 Remember, there were some,
00:02:55.400 like chimps or whatever,
00:02:56.720 these women would take them into their homes
00:02:58.200 and they'd rip their faces off.
00:02:59.200 You know, I was in India once
00:03:05.460 and I said,
00:03:06.420 monkeys just run through the streets in India.
00:03:08.740 And I was in India a couple times, actually.
00:03:10.900 And so you don't want to get too close to it,
00:03:12.160 but they are cute from far away.
00:03:14.560 That was some great chimping.
00:03:16.140 Okay, what's the next one?
00:03:22.000 Oh, yeah, he is chimping.
00:03:25.580 Is he a chimp?
00:03:26.480 No, he's a gorilla.
00:03:27.140 Professor, is that a chimp or is that a,
00:03:31.040 what kind of monkey is that?
00:03:32.660 Chimp.
00:03:33.380 It's a chimp or it's an ape or it's a gorilla.
00:03:35.840 I don't really know the difference.
00:03:37.520 It is a chimpy chimp.
00:03:38.880 It is a chimpanzee.
00:03:40.320 What were the first ones?
00:03:41.760 They were small, feeble chimps.
00:03:43.960 Do you not,
00:03:45.360 you don't know,
00:03:46.080 you just,
00:03:47.200 they're all the same to you.
00:03:48.600 Monkey is monkey.
00:03:50.280 Next one.
00:03:50.860 That's crazy.
00:04:06.540 Now that,
00:04:07.340 that's a gorilla,
00:04:08.200 right?
00:04:08.920 I'm a gorilla.
00:04:10.680 But he is chimping out.
00:04:14.080 There's no question about that.
00:04:15.060 That is scary,
00:04:16.020 man.
00:04:16.380 I would not,
00:04:18.480 even though there's the glass there,
00:04:19.820 I don't know.
00:04:21.560 That chimp,
00:04:22.280 that gorilla could do me dirty.
00:04:23.720 Okay,
00:04:23.940 next one.
00:04:24.800 Hold on.
00:04:25.680 If you don't want people to know about all the chimp out videos you're watching online,
00:04:29.380 you probably need to check out our sponsor,
00:04:32.320 ExpressVPN.
00:04:33.280 Go to expressvpn.com
00:04:35.440 slash Michael,
00:04:37.420 M-I-C-H-A-E-L,
00:04:38.780 letter Y,
00:04:39.200 letter T.
00:04:40.240 ExpressVPN is basically like a shield for your internet activity.
00:04:43.780 Everything gets sent through encrypted servers so that no one can see what you're doing online.
00:04:47.940 Not even your internet provider,
00:04:49.720 not data brokers,
00:04:50.600 not government agencies.
00:04:52.040 One thing that really impressed me,
00:04:53.460 last year ExpressVPN got over 400,000 requests from customer data,
00:04:57.600 for customer data from tech companies and government agencies.
00:05:00.580 Guess how many times they handed over those data?
00:05:02.980 Zero.
00:05:03.980 They actually can't hand over those data because they have a zero logs policy.
00:05:09.300 Best part,
00:05:09.920 it's extremely easy to use.
00:05:11.220 I'm a little bit of a Luddite myself.
00:05:13.000 And when I power up my phone,
00:05:15.320 my tablet,
00:05:16.360 my computer,
00:05:17.260 my anything,
00:05:18.820 boom,
00:05:19.180 one button done,
00:05:20.400 you're protected.
00:05:21.500 You can protect up to 14 devices at once,
00:05:23.420 so your whole family gets protection.
00:05:24.740 I love it.
00:05:25.180 I've used ExpressVPN for something like eight years.
00:05:27.360 If you want the very,
00:05:29.760 very best in protection,
00:05:31.740 go to ExpressVPN,
00:05:32.760 get four months free by scanning the QR code on screen,
00:05:35.260 clicking the link in the description box below,
00:05:36.620 or going to expressvpn.com slash Michael at her,
00:05:38.380 Y letter T.
00:05:38.940 Is he trying to steal her purse?
00:05:49.960 Where is that?
00:05:50.800 Yeah,
00:05:51.020 because in there's some countries,
00:05:52.220 there's just monkeys running around the street.
00:05:55.420 It's kind of crazy that he wanted to steal the purse though.
00:05:57.340 What's he going to do with that lady's purse?
00:05:59.080 You know what I wonder?
00:06:00.220 I wonder if he thinks that the purse has cigarettes in it,
00:06:03.400 like all those cute monkeys when they're smoking cigarettes.
00:06:05.580 You ever see those?
00:06:09.740 It's kind of cute.
00:06:10.340 You feel bad for them because it's probably bad for their lungs,
00:06:12.200 but it's kind of cute.
00:06:13.020 Okay,
00:06:13.240 next one.
00:06:13.600 Hi.
00:06:18.140 How are you doing?
00:06:22.080 I feel like Michael's dog.
00:06:23.420 I was about to say,
00:06:35.320 I thought the monkey was going to steal the crystal,
00:06:37.140 in which case I would very much be on the monkey's side.
00:06:39.940 And now he just wanted to look up her,
00:06:41.660 up her skirt.
00:06:43.080 It should have been me,
00:06:44.580 not him.
00:06:45.800 And I'm not,
00:06:46.440 I'm not,
00:06:46.920 I don't encourage that,
00:06:47.880 but I get it.
00:06:48.800 I get,
00:06:49.360 I get,
00:06:49.840 because monkeys,
00:06:50.900 they have traits that seem kind of like primitive humans sometimes.
00:06:57.020 I don't,
00:06:57.560 I wouldn't encourage it,
00:06:58.480 but it's kind of funny.
00:06:59.260 That's one of the reasons we like seeing them,
00:07:01.080 seeing them chimp.
00:07:02.180 Okay,
00:07:02.380 next one.
00:07:07.000 My God.
00:07:11.180 Ouch.
00:07:14.960 You just glanced at him.
00:07:16.780 It was such a slow burn.
00:07:26.080 It was like,
00:07:26.820 it didn't,
00:07:27.240 it's not like it was right away,
00:07:28.260 and he,
00:07:28.540 it was just a very slow trip,
00:07:30.140 and then it hurt his,
00:07:31.000 and then he blamed,
00:07:32.980 as he should blame her.
00:07:34.760 That was,
00:07:35.120 I wouldn't call that a chimp out though.
00:07:37.360 That was more considered.
00:07:39.180 That seemed more contemplative,
00:07:41.420 pensive.
00:07:42.280 And it was justified,
00:07:43.420 I think.
00:07:43.980 Next one.
00:07:44.380 Wow,
00:08:00.460 that,
00:08:00.920 that could be my favorite chimp out of the whole bunch.
00:08:04.880 I guess,
00:08:05.640 but no,
00:08:05.960 here's my problem.
00:08:06.800 The first one,
00:08:08.300 where it's the little baby chimps drinking the milk,
00:08:12.040 that's my favorite.
00:08:13.040 It's the sweetest.
00:08:14.160 It's the cutest.
00:08:15.060 But it's not a chimp out,
00:08:16.140 is it?
00:08:16.960 Doesn't there need to be violence or aggression
00:08:18.920 to like really be chimping out?
00:08:21.620 I don't know.
00:08:22.520 This is a new term.
00:08:25.280 And so,
00:08:25.940 look,
00:08:26.120 I'm just doing my best
00:08:27.500 to be hip and cool with the culture.
00:08:31.440 Okay.
00:08:32.460 And I think we did it.
00:08:33.740 Did we,
00:08:34.000 Professor Jacob,
00:08:34.680 did we cover it?
00:08:35.340 Have we covered all the chimp outs?
00:08:39.640 Hello?
00:08:40.080 Hello?
00:08:42.660 Hello?
00:08:43.840 I'm going to chimp out
00:08:44.640 if he doesn't get on that microphone.
00:08:45.680 Okay.
00:08:46.200 All right.
00:08:46.560 There we go.
00:08:47.220 That's the show.
00:08:47.740 See you next time.
