0:00 like don't they investigate these fires because because can't they just tell what caused it like right away because they have these people you know how they investigate they go like this hey let me show you some evidence back that's it hey detective you find anything oh nothing is saying okay exactly they'll be like this oh you're just investigate you know move stuff around [Laughter] [Music] all right when you guys imagine a dairy farm Catching Fire how many cows do you think die in something like that well can't they just use their milk to to I would imagine yeah also but they're idiots also this might sound dumb why would a dairy farm catch on fire isn't it just milk I know right what are they doing was it because I didn't know

0:51 milk was French flammable that's like a water tower that caught on fire I mean this is gonna raise a lot of Suspicion but how just ballpark how many calories you think died normally a thousand I was thinking zero because then they just walk out of the farm it might sound ████ up but it probably smelled delicious it probably smelled like ████ carne asada so in in 2020 that that was like the last biggest dairy farm fire and 400 cows died 400 I overshot I said a thousand but oh there's another one another one happened Jesse the other day this is common it's not common at all so that's why this sounds a little suspicious but so like when the cows are being lined up to be milked or whatever like they're all in one big closed

1:41 facility usually um so a fire happened that's my say was due to a piece of equipment malfunctioning and 18 000 cows die whoa there's a beef shortage now no no but they're dairy cows oh no so they don't use them for yeah they don't use them for me oh there's gonna be a milk short yeah 18 000 cows ████ Alta they not gonna be ████ literally burned to crisp wait this sounds like a Chinese operation they don't have any escape plan for the cows to like let them go in case they have any fire no sprinklers nothing nope that's because you know what the Chinese Playbook is what what they do this all the time whether it's a supermarket or a restaurant they they run a business then they run it to the ground they're bored so what they do is they set their own ████ on fire claim insurance insurance

2:32 and then they get paid out then family business or to sell the shell of a restaurant back to another friend and it just goes from like noodle planet to now Noodle World to now noodle City to now noodle Galaxy to Noodle it's but you know it's the same ████ menu I've seen this in The Sopranos yeah and they just go like this the whole time and every single time they just do a little insurance payout you know interesting it sounds like a good business model yeah this is probably ████ like don't they investigate these fires because because can't they just tell what caused it like right away because they have the experience well yeah they investigate but they also do you know how they investigate they go like this hey let me show you some evidence back that's it I was dude looking you find you find anything oh nothing to say here what's that exactly they'll be like this oh you're just investigate you know move

3:22 stuff around if you see something you like you can keep it's five bucks that's my gosh is Mr Lincoln have something to say dude I actually actually went wrong with me at a club one time when you try to grease somebody yeah but it was five bucks and he said he looked at this and gave it back to you I had like a cousin that was like underage trying to get him in the club I was like I know he's like 20 years old who cares and I just five bucks hey my man come on man and then he literally went ████ out of here put it in my face come on come on man come on make the ████ out of here come on don't throw my money man that's good money to get a taco I literally say yellow things that you can buy with five bucks there's a whole ████ meal at McDonald's right

4:12 now dude this is back in the early thousands I don't know if insurance is gonna cover it the way that it sounds I mean they're so every one of those cows they say the value is about 2 000 bucks oh my God what the ████ dude what's the math on a 36 000 like 3.6 million and then you have to add in equipment and structure loss and they said it could go to the tens of millions dude so is this insurance fraud I don't know I don't know if it's Insurance are people saying that it's fishy because of how it's been it could be it could be a market dude cows alone is 36 million we gotta get in the cow business baby what because there's 18 000 cows two G's a piece so that's 36 million on just cows damn that's a lot of milk dude that's um the amount of cows that died they said it's like 2 20 percent of the amount of cows per day that are slaughtered the poor

5:02 cows is this kind of fishy because we just had like a baby formula shortage not so long ago that's that's the thing that people are like and then now they're hitting like because this is like kid food you know and then now you got milk getting ████ with let me tell you something tell me if I on the business let's say America's my business you need some control you know there's certain things like hey this is going too high it's going too low makes sense like if you know this is a business like this and there's people that are like like there's too much milk we need to get ready there's got to be something they're like it just makes sense to me oh my God something happened oh we couldn't have like oh that that's like the people that own this ████ you know the higher ups they're kind of like we're getting too much into shortage what do you want to do time to burn some chaos looking you know have you seen House of Cards yep first was

5:53 the chicken eggs right something and there was a pork shortage during covid remember that there's a pork there's always a shortage of something right right that's the new trend these days everything is supply chain they said it's weird too because there's nothing in the law like um so 18 000 charred cow carcasses they're trying to figure out how to uh dispose of that oh right because you can't you can bury them you can't but there's not there's nothing in the law that that um kind of um specifies what to do when you have to build a mass grave of like that many cows because they're not supposed to be just gave them to the ████ lions at the zoos burned up cows so you should see what we feed our dogs they get all leftovers they're like cremated basically they're

6:44 burnt they just spread their ashes over the ocean dude but the thing is that with that many of them it'll contaminate wherever it goes so they can't even bury it within 50 feet from any Wells or like water source well well why can't we just put it East Palestine man we'll set it over there what if we just Palestine what did we just keep it cooking I'm trying to disappear yeah just keep burning it hey my guy who stopped the fire [Music] had the guy on the back ████ playing Dust in the Wind as they're burning man you can't turn them into ashes and like use them as something they said they're still trying to figure out what to do with them damn because they're trying to

7:34 it's not that they there's a million things they could do but within the law there's not yeah there's a lot of Bones you know you can just make something but if you keep it cooking oh [Music] Start the Fire back up so yeah it basically is our ████ workers came up through with their ████ cowboy hat oh sir the calves are burning up and the whole thing we're gonna turn off the fire leg turn off John how about you keep it cooking but but sir that the fire shot keep it ████ cooking all right that's what you wanted to keep on cooking keep it cooking it's by far the largest uh dairy cow fire in his where was this

8:26 damn Texas oh ████ ████ that's a lot 18 000 cows you know people in Texas are ████ sad as ████ and 400 is the previous fatality game and they never try to gallop away or something I don't think they are inside the house they're inside they're inside the milking structure you know the huge it is really big 18 000 18 000 is like a small City like population small City wait who started that fire they said it they said it it's uh right now they think it's from a piece of equipment malfunctioning yeah just like ████ noodle whatever the ████ yeah yeah you got NorCal on the five and there's that area that has nothing but just dirt and cows I'm going there tomorrow yeah oh yeah I'm wondering tomorrow go to Madera California

9:18 and I drive by that place and I'm always like ████ reeks have you ever stopped by the restaurant there Harris Ranch I go right past it dude because there's a there's a ranch there um one of my favorite Shabu places actually gets their meat from Harris Ranch oh cool so when I drove by I was like oh there's a restaurant has quickly here but it smells oh ████ the whole time yeah even in the restaurant a little bit in the restaurant too are you guys not Cowboys come on man because even at the gas station when you're pumping gas just that whole area from Miles smells like ████ yeah they get used to it though the locals yeah I don't smell a thing they don't even shower I won't smell yeah they're like oh kind of reeks huh what are you dumbbell I don't know like freedom to me I don't know if this part is suspicious sounding to you guys but

10:08 um there was only like one person that was rescued from inside the structure during that fire wait there were other people there's only one guy like there's no other people in danger it just says that there were no human casualties but one person was rescued Chinese operation and uh taken to a hospital but no I don't know because in massive commercial farming situations a lot of it's automated yeah I was gonna say imagine being that guy that's a lot of kids imagine just ████ just like oh ████ out of here dude ████ you should just wait outside he said what happened I didn't ████ turn it on and did some ████ what happened I don't know if you want to do they imagined that guy though the handle breaks off like what is though okay okay so what is like the

10:58 worst thing you ever did at like a job or you're like holy ████ like let me try to fix this before they come in I'll tell you guys mine you ████ God I used to work at Coca-Cola and we used to get those shipments dude the ████ cases the little 12 packs and stuff and they will bring like so here's here's how they do it if you guys don't ████ know they bring in those big old ████ containers to build like the displays you ever walked in in like football like you see those ████ guys made out of the cardboard boxes and ████ but like the whole thing looks like a ████ football they bring those in like but sometimes it's like if it doesn't sell I'll take them back or whatever so the store is kind of like borrowing them oh ████ but I ended up like with the forklift like I was just in my headphones I was ████ you know jamming out Jose

11:49 it was more like ████ rock and roll you know like that was not so wide you're working those long hours you know you got to stay awake yeah and I did a turn bro I I didn't go all the way in with the lift I only went like halfway so when I pulled it out that thing just went ████ the I'm hearing music so I didn't get to hear the sound but I can imagine the sound was crazy but it just went I'm sure you can feel the sound and I'm just like I just feel I just I thought it was a couple of cases just and then when I move the ████ forklift I look a river oh of coke of coke and it was getting worse because the river Coke was coming I'm like oh ████ so then I run back and I'm like this is I could clean this up I can clean this up I can make it happen right and then before you know I come back

12:40 two the river of coke went inside the fridge fridge is slippery and a little fridge thing why'd they build a fridge like that but only not only that but it also creeped it into the ████ piles and piles of flour that they had for the store and of course it was next to the ████ flower dude it could have been next to the chips or anything it was in a ████ flower so that thing was deteriorating and I'm just like oh it was one of those things where you're like what do I do I gotta call my boss and I think I'm gonna have to pay for all I would have just took my ████ name for some reason I don't know why didn't you know what happened I did I call the manager said uh um um Steve and he's just like hold on

13:30 Buddy hold on I'm just gonna just put the soda here and I'm like Steve you gotta go back there man and he went back there he's like holy ████ and he just ████ runs around other guys the meth head ████ warehouse guy comes in and she's just like holy ████ you break the challenge ████ it's hard to get fired when you're like in a one of those jobs it's one of those like uh yeah like you get ████ so much protection at those jobs you know

14:20 but they just send you fake classes of how to use the forklift properly and this and that because there's like 7 000 like Union laws that protect you oh yeah big time but it was uh one of those that the embarrassment I felt was rough everybody just I don't even go to that I couldn't I wasn't allowed to go in that store no more they never had a video of it yeah oh I'm pretty sure they did I was just embarrassed I had to take out the coke one by one dude it was a ████ test dude when you're when it's happening and you're like you're panicking you're like this is real life like this the chaos that's happening right now is this real life it's coming out like especially liquid like that oh and you can't just stop it and then the river's just going into the fridge in the fridge that was the worst part because apparently like you have to scrape it off and then it went on the side oh my it did just have to like take out a

15:10 piece of the wall and it was disaster you didn't have to do any of that work no they pay for it but wow here's the cause of it so you're just kind of like this is everybody just ████ not talking moving stuff and I'm just going yeah all right guys like what did you guys did this did my alarm went off dude uh um on my break so I'll be back do I take my breaks like no because if I don't take my break I'm gonna get in trouble so do I you know what I mean and my boss came they all took pictures they ████ did anyone grab you I'll take a drug the ████ Pepsi send you over to sabotage oh dude I had to like take a ████ piss test and all that drug oh my god do you guys if you guys ever cut like to us
