0:00 [Music] so i wanted to talk about this because [Laughter] hot news from barney's beatery [Laughter] no there's a it's actually a new york thing oh yeah pasadena new york in new york yeah there's a surveillance video from a manhattan subway and it shows a good samaritan woman trying to stop a thief from stealing another woman's phone oh and i just want to ████ with all the bad ████ happening everywhere yeah we just got to give it up to this lady for stepping in trying to stop the thief yeah was she like these and then someone went yay and she went you can watch it right here here we go but i wanted to honor her because she ended

0:50 up getting stabbed by trying to help she's alive and recovering but yeah dude yeah right before you watch it right at the end by the way she got stabbed but so this is the thief he tries to jack a phone oh she just even hesitated oh oh she got stabbed in the leg right there that's why she's hopping oh dude that's great but he dropped the phone still doing it like while she's stabbed in the leg yeah so he already had like a knife out or like easy access to it ████ you got to watch it bro hold on please so he he did the thing where like i guess this is a thing if you're just on your phone sitting and if people just knock it out your hand first rather than grab it and then they'll try to pick it up and what he was doing he's trying to pick it up and she just got all in his way at him she tripped them yeah she tripped him and then he just shanked her in the leg like and ran away wow yeah easy access to a knife like that huh but

1:41 that is some like dope ass ████ to like do that for someone because we see in the comments of every one of these videos of assault is someone saying guy like me i would have ████ stopped them around this and it's a lot of people can say that ████ but now she can really be that commentary yeah she could actually go i would have done something not me because i know those fools got knives out and ████ but that is some like that's some really cool ████ she didn't even hesitate that was like instinctual no i'm in i'm i'm there with my whm xm4s noise canceling headphones i got knife cancelling headphones yeah i'm like i see it happen i'm like is that the new york way of dude like dude someone like anything could happen so anything crazy can happen in the subway people like mind their business what's one of the craziest things you've seen in the

2:31 subway someone jumped the the turn like nah like the re um the tracks someone jumped from track to track just for fun like i don't know like someone was recording him he ran jumped made it on the other side no one was even knowingly even cared wow oh there's also a viral video of some guy like threatening to jump on the tracks and kill himself at like rush hour and all you hear is people in the back groaning like oh my god don't do it on this train over there you're getting in the way bro do that ████ somewhere else like you hear that ████ in the back like people so they don't want to be late to work yeah they don't even care if he dies yeah dude like there's like that video of just someone trying to like threatening to do it like i'm gonna jump like oh my god there's someone on the tracks okay yeah cause i'm sure that happens pretty frequently right yeah so with these statistics robberies up 72

3:22 percent 72. do you feel like you see that like yourself when you're in new york do you like notice that s███'s a little bit like crazier at all not really well i mean it probably happens where you can't see it you know like in the subway at night you know i usually at night i'm ubering now because of the the subways like the subway shooting i'm like i'm not catching the subway but i i don't know i definitely don't really notice anything i guess it's just out of sight but yeah cause it yeah yeah it's like in ninja turtles where they passed the wallet in the beginning nobody knew dude the whole city the tv where'd it go oh yeah i mean it's the shredder you're not going to ████ see it rokusaki man that guy have you been hearing like like just out of new york like more ship and going

4:13 down and whatever because we've been hearing it here in l.a and then like you hear like certain people close to you got like jacked or something happened to their store or whatever but then yeah i've been hearing just well like with the asian hate stuff like it's starting to get like one like twice removed of like my friend's aunt's friend got whacked or something so it's getting closer and closer yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like one of the one of the like i forget who it was but it was like an old asian guy like he was like a shop owner or something he just got like assaulted and that was like my friend's uncle oh no so it's like it's starting to be like really close to home yeah i'm like oh ████ it's getting closer and closer because it's happening so much yeah yeah stats right now are crazy for new york i mean i feel like i see the effect here in l.a well you're in hollywood which is like closer to l.a i'm always either in

5:03 hollywood or downtown and those are the two places that have like the they got two of the best problems like you know what i mean my mom had an incident and she got it she avoided it i think did i tell it on here before i think so i told you guys about that right yeah she wasn't she was in a pokey place and she saw this homeless dude walk in and he kept like eyeing my mom and she was like yo this ████ tripping he like reached out for her and she like ducked under him ran out and he started chasing her oh and then she went to a couple across the street that was like getting in their car and then as soon as he was chasing her he saw that she went to the couple he walked down the street across the street and went the other way and i was like damn she the fact that she avoided that she's trying to like rock so he tried to attack her in the restaurant in the restaurant and nobody didn't do champions in their restaurant and this this is this was in like south

5:53 pasadena damn it was like a considered a nice area yeah so i don't know it's crazy you gotta be vigilant what do you think of mayor eric adams oh that's the that's the cop mayor dude that dude's all nypd you know nypd is like the 11th biggest army in the world or some ████ what they need a lot of they have a huge staff huh i feel like he hasn't been in office long enough to see if he's good or not yeah i thought new york was all about the whole defund the police and they don't yeah but then they got this guy and he's like so he's the opposite four cops yeah interesting or maybe they were defunding and then they saw the results of that so they flipped the other way well now i mean there's still crazy ████ going on right now with all the cops yeah yeah so i mean yeah i don't think he's been in office long enough for us to really understand the effects of his policy but the only thing has been just the excessive amount of cops in the subway

6:45 but then like there's still being crime there's more cops but more crimes there's also a lot of people too there's like a big concentration of people too it's hard to catch everybody i thought during covert a lot of people left new york they're like we're going to florida a lot then people are coming back though if new york has the l.a problem it's not even the cops it's the da if they're getting like re-let go so for us it's the cops are doing their job but then once they are supposed to get prosecuted they get let out so the cops are like picking up the same people over and over oh and so it's kind of hard to stop they never stay in jail yeah the cops are stopping the crime it's just that the same criminals are getting let out and the stats get all ████ up too because of no prosecution then it doesn't so they go hey we're doing no crime exactly so then whoever's getting getting the political benefit of doing a good job yeah but like but my restaurant got broken into four times there is

7:35 crime right now it's on a technicality dude definitely yeah so this woman who uh was a good samaritan they don't know her name right so whoever she is good ████ wow call her nameless we'll call her one of the states we'll call his tabitha are there any crime fighters in new york do you remember when in portland ninja turtles no the portland remember when there was a uh real there was a real ████ crime fight something phoenix dark phoenix yeah he was like an mma fighter some ████ oh because they have a mutual combat law but the cops were trying to find him too to like stop him from doing that yeah he had like homies too like he started creating like the avengers of it whatever happened wait that vigilante stuff i'm like y'all just sit around waiting for crime yeah you know like how does that happen at least spider-man can

8:25 swing around like you're taking phoenix that's his name phoenix jones and they're like that's a good insurance policy it must be crazy expensive he was an mma guy but if anyone came up to you in a costume like that i would think that it was a street performer trying to be good yeah like it's bumblebee but he's like you know like instead of taking pictures with them he's trying to stop ████ yeah he's a big he's a big boy yeah i would just run from that guy big mofo he's big oh yeah he's big dude are those painted on can you type where's phoenix jones now because we need him now more than ever i know where he is there's so much crime now but it's crazy because i feel like the the police would arrest him faster than the people he's trying to catch yeah because they could find him yeah right yeah that wouldn't happen in new york dude you gotta like that guy wouldn't be able to afford living in new york

9:16 if you're a vigilante you're tired at work [Laughter] oh yeah phoenix jones yeah he was the leader of the rain city superhero movement so there was there was a couple see on january 9 2020 jones was arrested for allegedly settling silly molly police allege that he and his accomplice were also in possession of four grams of coke well they needed a little bit of pick-me-ups for their late nights yeah that's they needed to be wired while they were fighting damn that's sad rolling yeah yeah half at the time of his life man you can't be a criminal and a crime fighter or else you're gonna beat yourself up

10:07 this is like a real life kick ass it really is yeah but i i don't remember if he ever had any like confirmed like foils where he like got the bad guy i think most of these things were to defuse people from fighting like he would go and then like there's like a diplomat yeah and then he's all just like come on guys don't fight and then that's so lame though like you gotta wait for it to happen you know like that's that must be so boring yeah why don't you just beat them up because you suspect they're criminals yeah like minority report them oh ████ you just ████ this person up because you're like you're probably gonna commit a crime yeah he looks sketchy he just profiles everybody you a criminal i'm waiting for the uh vigilante it goes around whacking cops oh ████ oh no yeah dude that sucks that happened to phoenix jones well yeah

10:57 i don't know he had the heart of a crime asian it's probably good that he's not doing that ████ anymore because i feel like that's a sure-fire way of getting killed yeah but we need more vigilantes in superhero outfits i think yeah i mean it just looks cooler it's kind of sad that that's what it feels like is that him yeah it's him you like it ████ you can get behind this guy hell yeah dude he looks scary why are you laughing he's going to save us did he turn his neck though how does he turn his head he doesn't phoenix jones goes full torso i think when he turns his neck then he's just stares into the other side it stays in place i can't see it's like those magicians with a rotating i love head backdrop that they look so stupid you look like he's about to like admit like a secret plan we need to find

11:47 let me find out did phoenix jones ever stop any crime let's see i like phoenix jones man we need more we need we need ████ crime fighters i don't like the drug deal like spider-man in this world why don't like cops have their own superheroes yeah i mean they got swat and stuff why don't they have like a superhero division like robocop yeah they should have that they gotta get some robocops out in the street or the punisher yeah or like a dexter this wikipedia is pretty big what the ████ it's very extensive because when i was at the uh khabib connor fight i think they knew some ████ was gonna pop off they had the craziest super cops i've ever seen what's what do you consider a super like a ████ sick six like 280 dude and i'm like these are ████ super cops these guys could break up like if you needed a breakup like a five-on-five fight yeah this

12:37 guy's gonna break it up yo super cop it was it was a actual police police yeah yeah he was like is in his outfit but you could just tell like imagine the rock wearing a police uniform like there was like in the front row there was like four of them i'm like every department needs some of these guys yeah yeah yeah they just look like they'll just pick people like stop fighting and just pick them up and separate some super cops and sometimes we need less costs more super cops like instead of a hundred bag costs we'll get like five super cops take care of the precinct you know and they're okay then they're okay with like socking them up a couple of times some super cops if they steal some ████ they can ████ suck them up and then i'm tired of these dad cops we need some power forwards in them phoenix jones has actually done a pretty good amount of ████ really what it wasn't he stopped a lot of crimes like

13:29 he's uh he's um he's been around the world he's stopped some car thefts like from happening he like he's stopped people from driving drunk when they're like oh that's like yeah that's a good one that's underrated outside people are drunk yeah dude you're gonna drive right now and then punch him in the face but that's really how he did it yeah he like he like threatened the guy he was like no you're not getting in that car this would be so if you get stopped by that guy that must be so embarrassing i bet that guy's a ████ tank though huh i'll be like okay i won't drive and then he's also he's also done things like within the boundary of the law were like and he sells meth like a guy was i know a guy was stabbed and he followed the suspect until the cops came so that he'd be able to tell them where they are like that's pretty good that's tight like he's not trying to you know be kick-ass 100 but he is like there should be a gofundme for that guy because this poor guy can't make a

14:20 living being a vigilante so we got to sell ████ molly maybe he was making the cops look bad so they like you know caught him inside they framed him that's an easy thing to think i feel like because why would he just sell drugs if he's doing all these good things wow what do you think his uh win-loss record is in mma he's a welterweight wow how many fights does he have he's a welterweight yeah he's pretty big he looks big though yeah it's like a light heavyweight or something maybe he cuts yeah he really walks around like 190. maybe this is when he was younger and he was actually smaller seven three he has one draw oh ████ wow that's how did you even think of that i just guessed it seven wins three last dude that's pretty remarkable the draft ████ me up we should have asked you about fighting instead of passing it he's pretty diverse too he got a knockout four submissions this guy's well-rounded oh yeah that's a true

15:15 what a beast yeah those are actually this is the judge's fault so he actually won all of them yeah damn he's undefeated yeah he's actually undefeated a free phoenix jungles bro i think it's free he's free already we gotta get him on the show you gotta hit a phoenix jones dude this guy has a bible of a wikipedia yeah it's all his like things that he's like stopped i think he writes his own wikipedia way i didn't think of that that's funny you
