0:00 I feel like he should get all the cards. He can say the N-word, he can say whatever [laughter] the ████ he wants. All of the cards. >> wanted. All of the cards. He gets to say LGBT barbecue. >> Anything he wants, dude. He's been through >> LGBTV Cuz he's been through everything, man. That's crazy. >> How are you going to get away from two atomic bombs? And you you go, "Oh, not again." Welcome back to Careful Boys. So, today I'm going to tell you a story about a guy. His name is Tsutomu Yamaguchi. All right. >> Of course. Okay. I wonder what he is. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, yeah. So, this guy >> Sounds so familiar. >> This guy on August 6th, 1945, he was 29 years old. Wow. >> He was walking to work in Hiroshima, Japan, when he saw a plane drop something attached to two parachutes. Then the sky
0:52 turns white. Oh, wait. I think I know who you're talking about. >> So, he was just 3 km from the center of the first atomic bomb ever used in war. The blast ruptured his eardrums, temporarily blinded him, burned his entire the entire left side of his whole body, and then he crawled to a shelter and found two of his colleagues were still alive, and they spent the that night in an air raid shelter. So, the next day, >> [clears throat] >> he's still burned, he gets on a train to go home, and he has to cross a river that had no bridge. So, he's like swimming through floating bodies. Holy ████ >> gets to a place called Nagasaki on August 8th. And he goes straight to the hospital, and the doctor who treated him used to be his classmate. They were they were homies. But the burns on his face were so bad that the doctor didn't even recognize him. Oh. Damn.
1:42 >> So, on August 9th, he's still wrapped up in bandages, and then he he goes to work at the Mitsubishi shipyard, and his supervisor's like, "Hey, like what happened in Hiroshima?" And as he was speaking, the room filled filled with white light again, brother. >> [laughter] >> Oh. The sky got The second atomic bomb had just been dropped on his own city. >> Holy ████ He was 3 km from the center of that one as well. >> [clears throat] >> He's like, "Holy ████ not again." "Oh my god." His wife and infant son survived. Wow. >> Yeah. He lost his But they got 12 fingers now. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> He lost hearing in his left ear permanently. >> turned to Pokémon, dude. His wife later developed radiation-related cancer, and his suffer
2:34 his son suffered health problems throughout his life before passing away in 2005. >> Oh, man. But the guy said nothing publicly for decades, and then in his 80s, he wrote like a memoir and a whole book of poetry about what went on. And at 90, at the age of 90, he traveled to New York and addressed the UN, calling for abolition of nuclear weapons. The Japanese government didn't officially recognize him as a survivor of both bombings until 2009. He passed away the next year at age of 93. He is the only person in history officially recognized as having survived both atomic bombs. That's cool. That is wild, dude. That's awesome that they they So, they actually looked into it and vetted it, huh? Wow, that's cool. Like he was in no liar. >> Yeah. I feel like he should get all the cards. He can say the N-word, he can say whatever the ████ [laughter] he wants. That's what he wanted. All of the cards.
3:24 Any any racial >> that for in front of the UN? That's all I want. >> to say LGBT barbecue. Who gives a ████ >> Anything he wants, dude. He's been through it >> LGBTV Cuz he's been through everything, man. That's crazy. Damn, dude. How are you going to get away from two atomic bombs? And you you go, "Oh, not again." It's crazy that as he's describing it, the room fills with white light. Like that's like that's like a comedy movie, like a dark comedy. Wow. I wonder like if there's something genetically in him that helped him survive, or was he positioned a specific way by like a structure? Something? That's crazy. He lived till his 90s, and he didn't get messed up from the radiation or nothing. Like he got burned up a little bit. >> lost hearing in his eardrum, and that's it. >> Nothing. From Cuz everyone else got obliterated around him. Yeah, people
4:15 lose hearing just being that old. I'll go to a concert and ████ Yeah. [laughter] Right. >> People were getting like born deformed and ████ Like it was ████ up. But that's crazy. >> Yeah. This is one of those ones where it just seems like it's impossible to actually happen. Like there's actually somebody who could talk about that. Even just that there are survivors of Hiroshima who like just have stories about it, it just blows my mind cuz it's such a moment from history. Yeah. >> But twice in two different cities, that's crazy. A lot of I mean, a lot of people that were there for World War II are now gone. Like I Now the ones that are surviving, they were children during that era. But they're all Yeah. Interesting. >> guys know why Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen? Or >> Well, the conspiracy is
5:05 Well, Hiroshima, I think there's a it's like a port in like a like a strategic area. But like the conspiracy is cool. But for the Nagasaki one, it was the biggest population of Catholics in Japan. So, the conspiracy is like they're just dropping it on the Christians there. Cuz if you believe the juice boxes were behind it. I see. Oh, it's like that. >> Yeah. And then the the the Japanese Catholics were like, "Hey, if we had to be the lamb or the ████ lamb." So, even they were kamikaze about it. They're all of them there were just like, "All right, we're the we were you know, they chose Nagasaki because you know, we were the sacrifice to end the world the the war." Cuz I even remember like when I first learned about it in like elementary school, I'm like, "Why not Tokyo?" You know, like cuz you think about like the city. >> Yeah. Like kind of like our World Trade
5:56 Center. It's like New York, right? Like Yeah, I'm like, "Why not Tok Apparently, Hiroshima was a key military manufacturing center, >> Oh. home to the second army headquarters. Nagasaki was a major industrial center. Both were largely unscathed by previous bombing campaigns, allowing for a precise evaluation of the new weapon's destruction. Oh, I see.

7:37 do any damage, let's see how well this one will >> Well, it's like it's like um hey, we didn't really touch the city. It's like a fresh target, so we'll be able to see how well these weapons work on a city. Cuz we ████ up The other ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see. Do you guys have family members that tell you about the war? Like I have family members on both sides that told me like the American experience and Hawaii experience, and then the Japanese ones. So, it was pretty crazy. Like uh my grandma remember bomb raids happening. And then she's like, "Yeah, I was like a young wife. Like we just got married." And she goes, "Our house bomb debris like falling on it. She goes, "Our roof caught on fire, and then we had to go out and like put out the fire." And I was like, "That sucks. So, what did you guys do?" And she's like, "We went to our country home." And I was like,
8:28 "Wait, what?" And then she went to our country share. >> [laughter] >> And she goes, "Yeah, a lot of us, you know, we just um we just hid into the uh we just hid into like the more like non-strategic urban areas. And then later on, I find out like yeah, cuz she was rich. So, like most people, they had to like stay in the city, right? But then like if they had other homes, most people just And then she's like a lot of the kids like if like they would um kind of not a not adopt, but like hey, like we'll take care of them because it's not safe in the city. And then so, they they would go into the um yeah, like the countryside and ████ and then they would live there. But I heard food was pretty like rationed out, too. Like they didn't have that much food. Like so, even like everyone from rich and poor were rationing out as if like you know, we
9:20 only could get like a bowl of rice and this. And I'm like, "Damn, that's crazy." So, that part was pretty interesting. My uncle saw um Pearl Harbor go down. So, he was He was in the plane? >> [laughter] >> Coming down. And then the other guy Yeah. No, he was he was picking watercress along the the mountain side, and then like out on a farm, and then he saw all of the bombings and ████ go down. And then he was like a he was like a kid. >> I look like a you. Stop. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. But that that motivated him to join the army cuz he was just like that that whole ████ was like a shocker. He was like, "Yeah, I don't I think he was a he was like a little boy." Like he wasn't like a grown man or anything like that. Yeah. My favorite thing of all time is that when people only read so much of
10:11 history and they just go they think America just bombed Japan for no reason. >> [laughter] >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like they have no knowledge of what the ████ was happening in the world. They think it's an unprovoked attack. Like Like just >> they do that? >> [laughter] >> That's crazy, bro. It's like I'm not saying that I'm not saying they should have done that, but like god damn, dude. Do you not know what was happening in the axis of power? That's crazy. Well, they were saying like how um there was about like a million something people that were like ready to fight till their death. And then so to end the war the war early, they wanted to do that. Uh that was like the argument for it. It's like >> Yeah, we were projecting like casualties like into the a million. Yeah, because >> If for invading the Japanese mainland. Yeah, if you invade invade the mainland, like don't you know, everyone's brainwashed to believe like at the time um the emperor was god. So they made him
11:04 a deity. Well, he like the national religion is Shintoism, right? But then they um radicalized it like ISIS with radical Islam. And then they made the emperor um he's always had divine blood. But then at that time, they really propagandized it to where like, "Oh, now we're fighting for god." So everyone in the country was like, "Dude, that's that's how they got like kamikazes and s███." They had all these people that were like, "I'mma die for god." Yeah. So then if the evil Americans came in, the whole country would have just kept fighting to their death. So I get why they used the atom bomb, but I'm like that's just crazy to think about how my grandma lived through that ████ And then like people today, like you know, they were children during that time. There's still
11:54 some people alive that are grandparents. I also think that a lot of people who are in charge are kind of like nuts. Like Like um there was some there was a project like I think in the '60s where the military wanted to nuke the sky to just see what happens. And they thought like what could happen was maybe potentially the end of the world. And they're like, "So what? Let's just see what happens." >> They're just just to ████ do >> Just to ████ see. I mean, that's how scientists are. And think about how much money they spent on the Manhattan Project. Like we're talking about That was the biggest, most clandestine project at the time and they had just funneled through s████████ of cash. So they Don't you kind of just want to see what happens? Like I think it's I think that's kind of what was going on. >> want to get blue balls. They ████ worked on it for so long. >> I heard the second bomb was that cuz I
12:44 heard after the first they're like, "Okay." And then Americans like, "Let We got another one. Let's just do it." That's you got to light all your fireworks at 4th of July. You don't want to save some for next year. There uh there's a map of like during the Cold War all the ████ nukes they tested between America and Russia in the world. And then it's just like a live graphic of like a timeline going and then like where the ████ all these oceans, islands, test sites. Like you know, they used to do them right here in Vegas, too, where they would just blow them up. So there's just hell of ████ nukes that went off worldwide just to test. Yeah, Operation Starfish Prime, dude. Largest nuclear test ever conducted in space. A 1.4 megaton warhead was detonated 250 mi above the Pacific Ocean. And they were just like, "We Let's just
13:35 see what happens." And they detonated it? >> Yeah. Woah. They did that to this little island nation called Micronesia. And there's a lot of Micronesians in Hawaii because they got like it's it's almost like a sorry severance pay because they ████ blew the ████ out of their island for testing. And then so the the lo the the natives are just like, "Well, what the ████ Like you destroyed our habitat and s███." So then they get like um government funding and stuff and they can live in America. Check this out. Project A119. A proposed but never executed US Air Force plan from the late 1950s to nuke the moon. Oh, [laughter] ████ Damn, that's ████ crazy. Nuke the moon. These are just straight-up cokeheads. We probably shouldn't do that. We need that. We need the moons.
14:26 >> You know why they were going to do it, right? They were They were going to do it to create a visible flash from Earth as a show of force to the Soviet Union. How powerful you are. >> So it's all just like dick measuring. Damn. And these people are in charge, brother. Cuz that would alter like ecosystems. We won't have tides anymore. Like it'd be crazy. It wouldn't destroy the moon. It was just to create a flash. That'd be ████ nuts. What if it like changes the trajectory of it? Remember? >> Oh. >> How like on uh The Time Machine, that movie? How he goes Have you ever seen that movie? Uh-uh. So this this dude it's like the HG Wells Time Machine. He goes to like the future. He's like from the freaking olden days or whatever. He gets to the future and he comes out of the time machine and the moon is too close to the Earth. So everything's getting lifted up. Oh, ████ >> cuz the because they colonized the moon in the future and they changed the path of how it revolves and it got too close.
15:16 You know like when it's like if it was any closer, ████ would change drastically. Yeah. >> And are everyone's wives like ████ having their period like every every other day? >> [laughter] >> Everyone's horoscope. I know. We have like ████ 30-ft waves like every Yeah, so like the Earth got ████ up because of that in the future. >> do that. That's crazy. But man, what a show of force, huh? Yeah. >> Hey, World War III is coming soon. So we'll have a whole new generation. Hell yeah. Don't forget You don't have to sign up for the draft anymore. They got you. Dude.
