0:00 thank you [Music] Nick it's your lucky day dude there's so many articles that are just right up your alley I don't like when I'm here across hairs you know that I wish I care for you man you're just you're just ending up in the line I walk into this this dude his name's Thomas Martell he's 22 years old he lives in Chicago with his mom and some cats he lives with his mom at 22. sure does pretty common I think is a mom like a cat lady that has like 22 cats she has she's ████ his mama drinking cat milk honestly these stories you've been setting us up ████ crazy they've been nuts today I know and they own a Chicago pizza store or something you get myself to read something like that you keep setting up your hand off your chest bro I don't like that lord it's fake out

0:50 rain man I want some pizza now what the ████ yeah where did that come from Cosmopolitan Las Vegas the Chicago pizza store I like the deep dish okay like that deep pie okay yeah that's nice yeah what's your favorite pizza Geo yeah you want to go around after watching Home Alone I really really always crave um uh cheese pizza just cheese yeah sometimes it hits it goes here just by itself yeah because you forget how good cheese is because you you get the other toppings and it kind of overpower overpowers you do extra cheese yeah but then you get it and you go back to regular cheese you're like oh ████ this is good by itself especially when you think of like the Ninja Turtles movie intro when everyone's eating pizza whether the cheese poles that pizza shop next to the martial arts store and and like ████ Westminster or something

1:41 when you pull it the cheese string that that keeps the party cheese oh yeah this is the cartoons they pull like that I love that you guys are hungry because this is gonna be very good oh no wait the mom died and the cats and the kid was eating the mom and I'm ordering pizza something even even better so uh this guy 22 year old Thomas Martell Ryan's evil huh he would repeatedly kill and replace the kittens with exact look-alikes yesterday so his mom wouldn't find out that he was killing dismembering drowning or microwaving multiple kittens signs of a serial killer they always start with ████ Psychopaths yeah apparently he's been doing this since he was eight oh my God throw his ass in

2:33 jail right now dude you don't you don't smell dead cats in your house he turned himself in he turned himself in why because he's like I have a problem no his girlfriend ratted him out and then he turned himself in this guy has a girlfriend with girlfriends too hey dude a lot of psychopaths have girlfriends like telling me this guy Jeffrey this guy would have a girlfriend look at him hey it's good looking dude you know what's funny he's like you look at his eyes you're like nothing there he looks like the guy that uh beat Rodney King Jesus do you guys think that everybody remembers that guy do you guys think Psychopaths should be able to walk around in society yeah there's a lot there's a lot like they I actually Walk Among Us there's like I think one out of five men have psychopath tendencies ████ comments

3:29 say like type it like ████ probability of psychopath in men it's like a ████ what country World wow homie what yeah did you say wear a wire worldwide 1 1.2 of U.S adult men okay that's not one in five that's one in a hundred let's do a lot Psychopathic statistics right here you should still assume it's one in five but it says a psychopath would read that as one in five well one out of a hundred still a high probability yeah throwing like a ████ train or some ████ or on a plane it says one out of a hundred yeah but then but but they said that the the traits that that you have it's not always expressed in murder and killing

4:21 you're being like skills right and things like that could be in your fashion they uh they said that uh a lot of um a lot of uh uh high stress sales or like um oh yeah like CEOs yeah yeah yeah um extreme sports special ops guys yeah uh like the they they were saying that the the you know like those rock climbers it's it's basically like adrenaline High it does Stakes it doesn't determine that you are going to be a killer but you don't have the ability to register the same sensitivity that most people do or like so for example right like let's say you don't have the same fear things so then you can do crazy rock climbing without like uh with a cable because you're just it's nothing and

5:11 then you require a lot of stimulation to feel certain things so then the dark side of it is you start killing ████ because then you get the the jollies from crazy ████ yeah so he's 22 you said yep and he's been doing it since he was eight all these kittens dude he just keeps like killing them and then finding exact like look legs and replace it you think he thought about killing humans dude for sure you think I think that's next on the agenda yeah you think he do you think he dabbled a little bit you think he got close to pulling the trigger maybe you did it yeah you didn't put some medicine in his mom's drink and then she goes nah it's too much too much too much I bet you would keep like killing the kittens like in different ways like yeah that's her horrendous man that's his Hobby that's what his video games are and I guess he eventually got like his girlfriend caught on to it because he would dump the cat he put the kittens in

6:02 like a bag and just launched into the like the river or like a trash shoot and then one of her friends saw him doing it and recorded him sent it to his girl and was like is he throwing a cat away like and then she was like is he buying cat-shaped back I don't know there's a cat I think certain bags they take on a cat shape it's very clear oh and so he he started to like and and this the girl like if you actually read the real story it's a little weird because the the girlfriend witnessed so many times that he did it but like I guess she wasn't catching on um well because who would have thought well because like he would who would have thought that that's a cat in that bag well he would say that um he was gonna give the cat a bath and that the cat or he would teach the cat to swim so you bring the cat into the building and underwater you could always just come back out and go the cat didn't make it cat died and then she's like the cat

6:53 like multiple times oh okay if that happens three times that exact thing happened I think three or more times so she didn't really catch on until maybe she's like maybe cats aren't good at swimming she would not only go with him to buy the new cash he would pay for it sometimes well she was she got wrapped it is he because is it because is it because he's all like the chef Mosaic yeah smart no because he learned that so so she's basically like damn we got to keep buying these cats for his mom because he keeps because cats aren't cheap no like kittens oh yeah this is a highly affordable if he is a psychopath he he probably picked someone that was so naive and easy yeah like he's not gonna get

7:49 again he was eight I'm sure he already has all the outs and Mastermind yeah yeah like he already knows what to say the mom never caught on like the mom was never like it smells funny here well that um the girlfriend did because he I think one of the times that he killed the cat he just put in a bag and stuck it in the pantry oh and she was like something in there is rotten and it was the cat in the bag dude imagine microwaving a cat dude yeah uh so wait so the cat is in the pantry and she was never like red flag you know what I mean like I understand if the milk was in the pantry sometimes we have so much ████ in our head that's all I'm saying she might have some Mosaic yeah something tells me when when you're like a kid like this you kind of have a mom that's a little dense that's probably like you get away with that ████ you're not doing anything you

8:40 want to kind of like not recognize it you know sneak around your mom yeah or the mom has a little bit of it in herself yeah maybe Mom has mosaics we need to think about that wait so the mom was questioning it are you talking about the girlfriend is is like the mom is never questioned okay so but the girlfriend saw the pantry stuff because we saw pretty much that's where cereal goes she pretty much seriously half a dozen or more obvious signs that he was doing this it's not like but is it like she's like in retrospect like after she sees the video it's like oh those moments and then she's like all the memories because she's too stupid she bought multiple cats with them you know but love is blind guys Real Love is Blind I'm telling you he he chose his victim or like he he picked her because she's easy you know what I mean like and

9:32 she was next bruh she might have been but I mean what's this was it Jeffrey Dahmer he never killed his wife he just killed other women well then her friends was next or dudes right oh wait not dahlmer the other one Bundy Bondi Bundy because he had a wife a girlfriend she had no ████ idea but then every time they got into an argument he would go and kill a girl but he was way more um not Charming people said he was Charming I don't think he was that true but he was way more like Incognito than this ████ guy dude yeah he was um so the thing too is that she said that every time they would buy a new cat like he would name it the same name so it's like come on come on girl but I feel like this is the Gateway right it's kind of good that he's going now because then he turned himself in yeah but he's gonna he's

10:23 gonna get let out and then he's still gonna do something because yeah none of the crimes are that crazy it's just cats right in some country in some states it's so illegal to torture or kill yeah you're not killing her you're not killing a human being so he maybe gets let out in five or ten years you said he's 17. his bail is set up 75 000. bro he's been killing cast since he was eight let's do the math here but the the crazy thing is they can't really quantify the cat number because it's at least like six or seven but they can't really prove it because like well if he's a psychopath you just gotta trick him into saying it right he's like oh I bet you only killed like 30 goals do I get him the 45 you're gonna poke at his narcissism you wanna know something crazy I feel like I almost had this ████ yeah it's kind of spooky let's talk about it when I was one of my earliest memories when I was four uh I was in the

11:14 Philippines and I was swinging a cat around that I found by the tail yeah I was just like swinging it and then like all these like family members and stuff they like crowded around me and they were like never do this ever and they made it like such a big ass deal that I was like okay holy ████ this is bad yeah whoa okay I didn't know it was bad I really didn't know it was bad I just saw a cat out in the street like a alley cat's okay but then but then the guy who went out with scissors and cut off the eyes my cousin made me do it no but like I think that because they all knew my family knows that that's a sign of like you're gonna turn into a ████ psycho so they really like hammered it to my head and like punished me really bad for that but that was like the first interaction I ever had with like a random animal I wonder if that is a nurture moment like you know like all kids they have it and then I depending on like how your environment is it

12:04 shapes you into becoming more of that or not of that because tell me how to pluck the Wings off of a fly [Laughter]
