0:00 thank you [Music] so I just wanted to make you guys aware of a very beautiful ribbon cutting ceremony oh I love those in the Congo and we're gonna watch it together oh I gotta replay it oh ████ oh wait what what oh oh together oh my God the ribbon was holding it together no it literally happened as soon as he cut it yeah what that ribbon cutting was for the bridge for the bridge yeah wait is it because of the ribbon or because there's just too many people on the bridge there's probably so many people on the bridge but the ribbon was the cat the

0:50 straw of the cow's back yeah I think it was also not probably a very I like that there's like Navy Seals at the ribbon cutting ceremony that's like some like cartoon ████ it's like everything it is every other country like they got like just random Commandos in different places I know right I feel like in the Congo they got those there's always dudes and Army fatigues and ████ or like there's like some guy with like so many ████ ribbons it goes to his hip yeah yeah that's how you know he's ████ in like non-military events like imagine we had a Raising Cane's Grand Oak I like the not generals but the fatigues guys with the sunglasses on with the hats those guys are Green Beret guys what are you doing it's like assault rifles with the ████ AK-47 you're wearing like okay and then bullets here

1:40 yeah yeah yeah yeah it's like somebody's baby shower and they got like five ████ gorilla members they gotta represent they gotta be protective it's fully uniform full uniform With Grenades and ████ like dude it's a baby shower for raising canes grand opening we should do that I'm gonna do that for jumby's grand opening we're on some ████ military dudes and ████ hire some Black Water Guys Special Forces have one of those pickup trucks with the machine gun the ones from Cancun and a guy who is it has never smiled once in his life sitting on it and he's just sitting up there the whole time the terrorist Tacoma yeah terrorist Tacoma Bob Isis Toyota those are great uh so dignitaries gathered for the very

2:32 exciting day to inaugurate a Footbridge in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo only for the structure to immediately collapse beneath their feet to the barely concealed Delight of onlookers oh ████ it's ████ hilarious it's universal language people following is funny um at the same time the organizer cut the ribbon of the ceremony he was very excited about this um the bridge buckled and collapsed both its handrails broke off and the central section slumped into a stream a couple meters below dignitaries shouted damn they were doused in water VIPs struggled to get off the crumpled wreck nobody was reported to have been hurt this is the best kind of Comedy right yeah I love it it's the best one people are dead but the guy that built the bridge is like oh

3:22 ████ they need to fire that engineer dude maybe it's the same guy who built uh the guard is a Galaxy ride or some ████ oh what happened to them that's good he's like he's like you guys ready for the ride yeah oh my God so you didn't want that there was a bridge here like in the 50s or some ████ and it's like um they study this in like engineering school of how they ████ it up so bad and you can see pictures of the bridge it starts wobbling like there's cars on it and the bridge starts wobbling like this like it looks like a ████ wave like in the water and it starts going like that and ████ and it ████ breaks oh my God I think it was in Seattle or is that the one during the earthquake and it was like no it was it was just a bad design so it's like wind and just regular like oh yeah normally just made the bridge just

4:13 ████ go like this and it snapped dude my favorite ████ is this guy down here oh and he's holding a bottle of champagne what is that what is that bridge connecting it looks like what's even under it I have no ████ idea that looks like a little river or something yeah this is a river dock where you put like your fishing boat it almost looks like an inconsequential Bridge yeah it just says Footbridge everyone else is just jumping over it yeah because nobody fell in the water it's just like it just hit the ground it wasn't anything it wasn't like utility based but I feel like like in areas like that those bridges are probably a big deal they should look that should look like a bridge building

5:03 pageant like a bridge building contest last place [Laughter] that would make sense and they're just testing to see how many people they can get on it oh it didn't pass because before that ████ they probably had to swim in that River with alligators and ████ yeah stepping over I know now it's like dude now they can't go to school they're like it's a new ████ day guys we're gonna get so much more stuff you don't have the ████ assuming alligators to go to the ████ school like our shoes aren't gonna get wet yeah it's gonna be crazy we have to wear water shoes to school every day small too huh yeah it looked like a dry riverbed so what I'm assuming is that it's one of those like seasonal flood rivers or like maybe like when it's dry season they can walk through yeah but then when it's wet season like they're

5:53 just like oh that s███'s flooded so their Village is not connected well the confusing part for me that I I wanted to show you guys is it people are in the back here what on the other side and they're walking on a bridge behind it I think that's where it collapses wait wait what breaks in the middle oh the other one there's the one behind it oh that looks like a like a Wood Bridge like a like made out of logs looks like it works though yeah that was probably like the old one that's more of a ramp let's be real that's a ramp dude because that one can't carry like a push cart well maybe maybe that's the construction Bridge the way that like buildings that are being built have a have an elevator for the construction guys but you know what's funny is right when they cut the rope or

6:43 the ribbon the two handrails fell off immediately yeah you know in Vietnam they have bamboo Bridges with just two poles of bamboo and like little sticks to hold those dude and you could just walk on those and those never break holy ████ we're gonna get some bamboo because Vietnamese people weigh light but people people don't talk about the spiders though bamboo has a bunch of spiders in there I don't like that are you sure this bridge is like maybe they ████ got it donated from the ████ Universal tram ride or something it looks like tons of pieces from different things like I thought I actually thought that was actually a bridge the back of a semi truck or like a flatbed or something connected to a piece of wood it looked like it was Frankenstein together what do you think they do after this you think they go celebrate it or like because they're already they're already ready to celebrate I feel like the engineer gets his brains blown out I

7:34 know 15 people all look in the bridge like this ah ████ what are we doing whatever warlord was there that day he is not happy dude he's all like fun it is crazy that they had a ceremony over this bridge yeah that must be a big deal Bridge or the guy with the champagne walks up and he sees it collapse turns around like all right because he was gonna break it like like you know when they build the boat he was gonna break it and he goes it breaks even more do you think he's like do you think he sees a collapse he's like I think I know how I ████ up like you need like he finally realized okay he sees the equation and where he I think I know what it did wrong he forgot to screw one thing yeah well what if it wasn't the engineer what if it was like Bob and ████ and he was like Bob I told you the ████ last bolt and he goes oh the last bowl oh together he's like hey Bob where's the last ball and then Bob's like Bob's

8:25 like and then they all like start laughing yeah so I felt that before when I was moving to Vegas right and they like they dissect the movers they disassemble like your furniture or whatever and then they they build it back up in your new in your new place and they put the bed frame up and then I'm like did you you know follow that you just followed exactly how you disassembled to assembly oh yeah all the screws or whatever's in the right place and okay cool you go and he's like this and like three screws and they're like what the ████ no oh dude I don't know what happened and then you lift up the mattress and they only like screwed like at least they're still there for that yeah it's like that yeah where they yeah or the bed wasn't strong enough for you for me yeah it was before it's the same thing yeah I got my moped back after getting my

9:18 brakes fixed and then the first thing I see is that there is like a screw like super loose and I'm like oh I gotta this one goes oh oh I forgot to yeah let me fix that for you and he fixes it right and I was like there's no more and he goes yeah everything's good all right so I go home and then like my like my seat's rattling oh I know what is this and then like I pop it open and what he did was he had all the screws just like in you know like before you tie it right it's just loose so you so you know where they're supposed to hand tightened yeah yeah they're not even hand tightened they're just like sitting on top of it so I was like oh ████ so I tightened everything up oh that's no safe people just like I don't know why they skip on the screws they just rush through life or what's gone it's not for them bro it's not for them that's what I think I think if it's for you you try to do

10:08 everything exactly right if it's not for you you're gonna cut some corners but then if that's your business you know bro I know dude talk to Anthony leaves cutting corners on this ████ noodle business non-stop somebody screws in the noodles I don't know it makes it all vegan issue I've heard all kinds of ████ like every fifth noodle is just plastic well if you take the noodles out the standard noodle Leaf is like this long this isn't like right here yeah I measured so inside It says 55 grams of wet noodles I measured it yep I told you that's false advertising that's false advertising we had Bob messed up my macros dude I had to recalculate everything when Bobby hundreds was here yesterday and he's talking about Reinventing himself every day I'm like oh is that why it takes Anthony Lee 24 months to have the spicy version of the noodle [Laughter]

10:58 24 months [Music]
