0:00 you messed up raising them is that right yeah you've seen myarar mind you can talk ████ about me but once you bring my cat say it's not it is talking ████ love your cat I come see your I pet your cats I love your cats I cat love I love him I wish he didn't have a scarcity mindset that you provided [Music] to a pigeon who was suspected of being a Chinese spy has been released by police in India after be being detained for over 8 months damn I'm sorry I thought they were homies I thought India and China were homies know the pigeon for eight months I think you know we're homies with a lot of countries and we still capture their spies yeah oh we do yeah yep I didn't know that but if they

0:50 released it did they determine that it actually was just a regular pigeon well so after8 months I was say they had to interrogate him for a long time but the pigeon just kept saying he was Singaporean yeah nice I like that reference mhm that's a great reference tick Tok yeah so detective suspected the bird was involved in Espionage after it was captured near a port in Mumbai Mumbai it was found with two rings tied to its legs featuring words that appeared to be Chinese raising suspicions who oh I don't want to ruin the fun you know Pigeon Racing it's it's it's probably someone's pigeon racer oh and it got it got damn was it what was that really what it was it doesn't say it just says that that pigeons have been used in spying combat throughout history and like in combat so like the pigeon

1:41 comes back you'll be like all right little bird tell me no it has like a little bomb on it like a drone oh just like a GPS so I mean if it wasn't flying with the Apple Air tag I think we're could yeah I think the the the the ankle cuffs are just like reg like this is my bird that makes sense yeah there was a pigeon called Gustav who brought the news of the first uh D-Day attack back to the UK oh sh after a correspondent wrote a he wrote a report he attached it to the bird while it was landing on while while the landing on sword Beach happened the original Twitter but does Gustav have Chinese citizenship it doesn't say yeah I'll look it up though I'll Google it on the dark web and make sure I get it right thank you yeah you bet we'll do a followup video yeah we'll do a whole we'll do a documentary I wonder how sending pigeons worked like

2:34 how does it know where to go you know you just go like I still don't know dude right like if I was a pigeon I'd just be like oh there's a worm yeah cuz they still they still use pigeons to smuggle ████ into jails and prisons they still do that pigeons used to be like a revered and respected bird oh really yeah it was like pigeons were like considered like really cool and like they're cuz they're smart they're really sick they're like air rats but now we treat them like air rats but they used to be like the tightest Birds people eat pigeon you know that what pigeon and squab I don't know what a squab looks like but I heard of it are you talking about those like Chinese guys at Australia that just bag them at the park no I think all over the world like Medieval Times like everybody ate them just the food version of pigeon

3:24 like you know how you like like like ve right like ve is like baby cow or whatever but you just call it something else it's like the cooked version yeah you're not trying to say baby cow that's how I imagined the interrogation just bagging the pigeon into a dark room Spotlight eight months so they did an investigation and they found the bird they determined the bird was not a spy and had simply flown across the border between the two countries in 2016 another pigeon was detained after was allegedly found with a note that threatened Indian Prime Minister Nara Modi whoa yeah isn't that way crazier did they detain that one for 9 months they executed it damn for Espionage that makes sense though mm do you think it has like a little GoPro camera on top of the head and it's like recording information yeah it has like a

4:14 norance legs is not a spy not used for low key though if if if I found and I was working for you know Indian Secret Service whatever and we found a ████ pigeon that had like a death threat so I would execute the ████ out of that pigeon 100% really or you put a little tracking a tracking beacon on it with a self detonating bomb you let it fly back to its host and then it flies into the prime minister of Vy and you're like I strapped it with the bomb what was I thinking and it blows up and there's nothing but pigeon feathers my niece would catch pigeons it was the funniest ████ I've ever seen like her and her um brother would we would be at the beach and I saw them get like a bunch of chips and make it into a mountain and then all of these pigeons would come and start eating it right and

5:04 her and her brother would have a a towel a beach towel and they would make like a canopy and I was like thinking oh are they giving it shade and then they go three two boom and then they go down and just grab a pigeon and then they would just be like petting pigeons like a baby they just pet it that's all they doing yeah they would hold the Pigeon in the in the towel like a baby and just like and I'm like how the ████ did you guys do that did they bury it in the sand at least no they're not not killing it no like you know when you're at the beach oh you bear his head up to the in the sand you Chuck little breadcrumbs at it yeah no they would wrap it up in a towel you leave one scorpion next to it you know what yeah they wrapped it up in a towel so it's just nothing but a head po poking out and they would they would fight over who gets to hold it like a baby and while they're fighting over the the ████ thing you know how like in Vegas you can buy any pet you want uh-huh so I was

5:56 looking at it pretty much you can get like a ████ monkey and ████ yeah Bob Cats yeah like the pet bobcats yeah I was at a pet store um um you can get like lur imately yeah you can get parrots you can get ████ and you didn't get any of these things no I but I was I want to I want to get a ████ parrot what kind of like the like the pirate one yeah the pirate one cuz I the big red one yeah cuz I just got a pirate costume I want to play Pirate game and then I want to put put have a ████ Ma on my shoulder while I play Pirate game is it really called the Pirate game there would be nothing I want to do more is it is it called the Pirate game okay I'm just making a note on the games I need to join you on yeah know you got to play me a pirate game but I'll I'll be very PVP though you just I'll burn my own ship down dude I don't care but no I want to get them a call but they're like ████ they're like $7,000 and ████ oh

6:48 my God yeah if you want one that talks like I do wow yeah it's like 2500 for like a base model they come Bas model they come with like a basic vocab they ████ on your back the they do ████ on your back no the first the base model it doesn't come with anything the model but if you want one that like can say R cuz I just want one that says R that's going to cost me like one that says like woo would be cool but I just need him to say R for now yeah yeah that's it and just random just just pirate sound bites I want hoard animals I used to do that I wonder if in 8 months they if they even have to prove that they're letting the same Pigeon Go that they caught it almost seems like they could just kill it immediately and be like here's that same pigeon how long do pigeons even live for yeah like what's their lifespan 8 months seems like a long time

7:39 for a small animal how do you determine a pigeon is not a spy you prob it up its butt for sure oh yeah yeah and you see if there's any notes in there you put it with a gay pigeon and see if he just spills on everything he's like all right all right all right all right has to be a gay pige I was at a park in San Francisco and um there was a pigeon with a clothes pin in it ey oh J ████ that means somebody did that yeah it was ████ up that's damn that's sad mhm people are ████ up I hate that but I love pigeons though in uh high school we used to crumble chips and feed it to them so we can see the throat move oh ████ have you ever done the rice thing no oh they blow up do that does that really happen I know what rice I heard it's a myth I heard it's a myth too you give them dry rice and the pigeon eats it and then it blows up

8:29 apparently I heard you do that with Alka-Seltzer oh ████ eat it and then they blow up definitely makes sense with Alka Seltzer that sounds like it would work but I think it came from the idea like people throw rice during weddings and stuff and then P will come eat a ████ ton of like rice but it'll like actually expand in their stomachs I guess you could that makes a little sense if you think of how birds and wild animals don't stop eating ever yeah so if you give them this portion they just eat all of it they just eat the whole especially if you give them ████ Mentos and soda dude my dog Trixie she was a little doxin and she ate a whole ████ large pizza one time oh ████ yeah she couldn't stop eating she but she wouldn't stop she just we found her obviously in the act and she didn't want to stop eating even though she's all bloated as ████ already and then she just laid on the ████ floor you know how like when dogs get so bloated their their legs can't touch the ground anymore that's how ████ wild that was

9:20 that really happened yeah she'll eat she would eat herself to death where the pizza was just left out and she started eating it it was left on the table and yeah and my uncle went upstairs real quick and then cuzz we weren't even in the house yet and when we got home we found her ████ eating the whole thing yeah have a big old belly my cat morph is eats until he throws up all the time as if he's never going to eat again that's how they all yeah yeah they're always eating like they're never going to ████ get another meal well that's because of you you you messed up raising them is that right yeah you've seen my scar scar you can talk ████ on me but once you bring my I'm just saying it's not it is talking ████ on you I'm not you a your cats I love your cats cats I love him I wish he didn't have

10:11 the scarcity mindset that you provided you gave scarcity mindset ████ mouth dude get my cat's name out your ████ [Music] MTH
