0:05 An Iowa teen has died after being mistaken for a squirrel during a hunting trip. >> Oh no, they shot him. >> Yeah. >> Or her. >> What's crazy is this guy named Carson Ryan, who was 17 years old, he was hunting squirrels outside of Iowa City when all of a sudden gunfire from someone in his group struck him in the back of the head. >> Oh >> yeah. And someone in it >> someone in his in his hunting party explained that they thought he was a squirrel which is >> he had a man bun maybe and it was like bouncing across a bush >> and I thought it was a squirrel tail. >> Dude, he had a crocket hat on. Dude, >> that's his fault. >> Dude, that makes a lot of sense. That's that's fair. If you're hunting with a David Crock hat and you're like really really low and you're going like this. >> He better have, dude. But I don't think that's what happened. I think it was friendly fire. Like he just mispressed the trigger and the guy just happened to
0:55 be in front of him >> with like a shotgun so the spread was just out there. >> It was like, by the way, who hunts for squirrels? It's very weird. But >> they taste good. >> I think it was like Dick Cheney. Remember when Dick Cheney? >> Yeah. >> He just like thought his buddy was a bird, but like his buddy's standing like to his right, so he's just like pull. And he just oops, I shot my buddy in the face or whatever. I think it's like that. You're just like he's in the moment and he just oofy doofied. That's crazy. >> I thought they ch just shot that guy cuz he was mad at him >> and then he blamed it on a bird. >> On the bird. Yeah. Well, the guy lived though. So, >> try to kill him. Maybe. >> Maybe the That's a way funner story, right? >> But the guy I can't imagine shooting my friend and then saying like, "S███, I thought you were a ████ squirrel." >> If I accidentally shot my friend, I'd probably have to say something like that. >> Yeah.
1:45 >> Like, what's what's the other excuse? >> Versus saying like, "I ████ up." >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, cuz you also don't want to go to jail probably >> cuz you you thought he was a squirrel is already ████ up, but it's like a reasonable ████ up sort of. >> But no, it's not cuz the squirrels are like this big. >> There's a reason to the ████ up. But if you're like, I just ████ up. >> That's like, >> but why? >> Yeah. Like both of them, you're a piece of ████ But at least this one is like you're not as a piece of ████ as the other one. >> At least I can say you're a dumbass. This one's like, do you not like me? And that's that's weird. >> You're still a piece of ████ cuz this kid died. >> Yeah. >> Well, they're both they're both pieces. Is that why he was like, >> "No, the the friend was like, I swear to God, I thought he was a squirrel, basically, which is absolutely insane." >> Now, the the real the real thing in order to see if there was foul play involved is whether or not his track record for actually hitting squirrels was good. >> Yeah. What's his KD? What's his KD? >> Yeah. If he missed like nine out of 10
2:36 times and the one time he hits when it was a human, sus. >> Sounds squirrely to me. >> That's very sus. But if he was always hitting squirrels, if he if he saw a motion, bam, killed him every single time. I understand why he knocked this fool in the head. >> Y >> I just don't get how they're separated that far. >> Yeah, they shouldn't be separated that far. >> Yeah, I should have rallied up. >> Have you guys hunted period ever? >> But I really want to. I really, really, really want to. >> I used to hunt pigeons. >> And I only shot birds off the telephone lines with a slingshot. >> Did And then what did you do? Did you clean it up or did you just left it there? Let the ants eat it. >> You know, as a kid, you want to know the ████ up part, and I bet you this happens to every single kid. You shoot because the concept is like enticing. You're exposed to things like duck hunt. You're just like, "Oh, you know, like I'm going to go hunting." It It is cool.
3:27 Once you finally and actually hit and kill one, it changes your perspective. >> Speaking of that, this is Carson Ryan. He was 17 years old. >> That's Carson Ryan. >> Yeah. >> And then they're like, I thought he was a squirrel. >> You think he looks like a squirrel? I think that looks like >> I think he looks like a regular boy. >> That's true. And a boy in a in in someone's hand. >> How did he think that was a squirrel >> choked out by a thumb? >> That's what I'm saying. He's got this hat on. I don't think squirrels were >> There's another angle of that guy. >> Oh, yeah. There's another angle right here. >> I think that one's a more clear idea. >> Yeah, you get a better like idea of what his friend was going for there. >> Oh. >> Oh, that's a top hat. That's a nice one. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty crazy. >> That's Thomas Crown right there. I'm only not showing you the real Carson Ryan cuz this is sad. He's just a teenage boy. >> I do think it was his bad for wearing a a woolly hat. >> Yeah, dude.
4:17 >> Cuz clearly he looks like a squirrel with that woolly hat. >> It's a bowler hat, too. You should know that. It's a British hat. >> Yeah, I know. >> Damn. >> Yeah. >> What do you want to hunt? >> I want to hunt something I could take the meat home to eat. >> Same. >> Why would you want to do that? Just shoot that ████ Leave it there. Let the ants eat it. >> That's weird, dude. That's just killing. That's murder. >> Just kidding. No, no, no, no, no. I agree. >> I want to do the full circle. I never tried the full circle. >> Hey, I'm down to go hunting if you want to go hunting. >> I don't have any friends that do it, but if I find some, I'll let you know. >> I don't have any guns that do it. >> Talking about hunting though, like elk or some ████ >> Yeah, like deer. >> Elk, deer, any of that stuff. >> Even rabbit, I'd be down. Rabbit is good. >> I just want to do the whole experience. >> Like dressing it, grabbing it. >> If you guys want to hunt rabbit, we can do it in Desert Shores for the fairness and for the respect to the animal. rabbits.
5:07 >> I think you need to be a part of like as much of the process as possible. >> Yeah. >> So like if you're going to go on and kill it, then it's your responsibility to like like say thank you for it life, clean it, prepare it, cook it, eat it to its fullest extent. >> So that means our our first kill we have to bite into the heart together. >> Uh that's a little bit farther. I don't think we have to do that one. >> Beating heart hopefully. >> I'm also trying not to get parasites too. >> Yeah, that part. >> But the heart doesn't have parasites. >> It does. Okay, >> but your hand that just got done cutting it with ████ blood and guts probably got hair parasites. >> We should send Ryan and Evite for like, hey, the boys are going to go hunting for rabbits. >> That's crazy. >> Hey, we have this cool idea. We're going to go hunting rabbits. I hope you can make it. >> And then it's like dingdong. We show We're all in Hunter's gear in his house.
5:59 >> Hey, where's those rabbits at, brother? >> We speak like Elmer Fud. Hunters out there that are JK fans, >> let's all go on a hunt adventure. >> I heard rabbit's actually good. >> I heard squirrel was really good. Rabbit is good. >> I've had rabbit ravioli, but it's so dressed up it just could have been anything. >> I had rabbit and rabbit. >> The difference between like you're just eating the meat like off of the fire after you cleaned it in the ████ river and you skinned it yourself type ████ Like >> that's dude on fire. You can't go wrong with that, dude. I love the taste of just fire, everything. >> And just to make it like truly pure, I want to be hungry as ████ when it happen. >> Okay. Yeah, >> I heard you are cuz you're like in the woods tracking some animal down for like 3 days eating instant noodles every like
6:51 you can't even be like upwind of them because the way that they like deer specifically can smell. >> Yeah. >> Which is crazy cuz they seem so dumb. Like like when they think about a deer and all the stupid ████ they do all the time and running in front of trucks. >> Yeah. Well, they don't have like quantum physics and stuff. >> No. No. I know. But >> they're dumb in our world, but in their forest ass world, they're hella smart. >> Going to their world and we got to like put bushes all over ourselves and stuff like that and wait there and not breathe or make sounds and hope like our odor, our human odor doesn't get blown towards them. >> That's different. >> Do you like to eat horse? >> Horse is good. >> There's there's a lot of wild horses here >> and Yeah, there's a ton. You guys want to hunt horses? >> Never eaten horse here. I don't want I do not I do not want to hunt horse. No. I've eaten them, but I do not want I want to ride the ████ out of them. >> Mongolians horse with a shotgun with the boys. >> I want to shoot a horse. >> No, not at all.
7:41 >> Mongolians, they eat horse. >> Anything that you could have a particular relationship outside of food with them. >> Yeah. >> And I'm not talking like you can make anything your pet. I'm I'm talking like you can ride a horse. >> Yeah. My brother Kenny raised a pig with his whole family >> and they didn't eat bacon no more. >> No. and and they >> they fed the pig bacon to get him bigger. >> It's crazy cuz like you know they're like I don't know my brother's from Missouri. >> I mean that's farming though, right? >> Yeah. Yeah, for sure. But he had a mature take on it where his kids they're all like young, right? And then they basically like went into it like hey you're going to love this pig. He's a great pig. He's going to provide for the family. Like that kind of thing. And then it was very maturely I guess left the family, absconded to the pig farm where he got slaughtered and then returned to the family. And now like every time they're eating a meal, it's just about the same damn pig that they named like Henry or some ████
8:31 >> So they're eating Henry every ████ >> You want Henry and eggs? >> Yeah. >> Henry and eggs. >> Henry and eggs. Henry and H and beans. No, it's that's what I'm saying. Like I don't know. It's funny cuz me >> is it because they're still eating Henry. There's that much meat or every single pig, you know? I called like >> He's a full-blown pig. >> That's like when I called every ████ orca shamu. >> Me too. >> Oh, >> I still do. But but no, it's the same pig. They just >> It just lasts that long. >> Exactly. Exactly. It's like getting an elk or a deer or whatever. >> I hear when you like actually get elk will last you like a whole year if they butcher it, right? You have so many pieces. Yeah. Sausages, ribe eyes, whatever. You have the whole year. >> But then my Nikki, right, she's like, "Pigs are smart. Pigs like know you by facial recognition. Pigs like remember ████ She could She doesn't eat pig now.
9:21 She doesn't eat meat anymore any at all." But I'm like, dang, it's crazy to think about like the disparity between that and like my brother Kenny who's like, "This is Henry. He's our pet. We're going to be eating him real soon. It's just a difference of like of like, you know, how you see the world, I guess." >> I think they're both right. >> Yeah, me too. >> No, me too. >> If you ever had Korean barbecue, pig is delicious. But I I think both are connected to the food and and because both perspectives is you see the whole cycle and you make a choice whether to like but you but there's a lot of people out there that like don't ████ show me just give me the end product. >> Yeah. And that's more me. >> Yeah. >> Cuz it is kind of weird, right? >> I'd rather have a chicken nugget than look at all the chickens and then grab it, ████ twist its neck, bleed it
10:12 out, pluck that ████ out, you know? >> Yeah, bro. the whole process. >> I anthropomorphicize animals like crazy, which is when you humanize them, right? So, you like give them names and all that kind of stuff. I do that like crazy because I just am that kind of guy. But >> yeah, I mean, I I I ain't trying to experience the hunter gathering experience for the sake of like psychotic nature that needs to be fulfilled. I think it's a um human experience and and a desire to like respect life in a certain way because we've only grown up with the end product at the grocery store already wrapped and then it's like wait a minute uh this is actually >> thing for human society like to go to a convenience store and the animals slaughtered in such a way >> when really >> two generations ago max there was a
11:02 normal way that humans have been doing this for like the entire existence. I think it'd be great to appreciate. Even if I do it, I hate it and I never want to do it again because we live a a privileged convenience life, right? I'm still down to like do it as a human experience. I don't want to kill an animal. >> I do, >> but I but I Well, >> I want I want to experience a full rounded truly human thing >> with a fire and a dance. >> Yes, >> I got the dance. No sir. >> You know what's the closest thing I've experienced? And then this is probably like for most kids who grew up on farms or did hunting is like we fished a lot. So from a little age like >> and I enjoy fishing. >> Yeah. We catch it. It's alive. My parents taught me how to like gut it, clean it, whatever. >> And then they don't want to ████ gut it. It's gross, right? But I started
11:53 loving it cuz I was like, "Oo, we're going to take it home. I get to scale it." And then the guts feel weird and squishy. And then like I didn't have the gross feelings toward it. Like when I see a mammal, I just think it's it's such a different experience. But a fish doesn't look human at all. Right. >> It is weird that you get that feeling. And I've done it with a crab, too. I've done it with both fish and crab. Catch, clean, kill, prepare, eat right on the spot type stuff. Like even Hawaii, there's this like ghost crab thing where under the moonlight, right? Like you go to these areas in Hawaii and then when uh the wave comes back down, if you shine a flashlight on crabs that are running out of the sand, they just stop. >> And then you scoop them, you put them in a bucket and then you start a fire on the beach >> and you're literally cooking these. You stab them and you hear the the squealing like a lobster put in freaking boiling
12:43 water and then from there you pull it off, you eat it. And the full experience and I'm sorry for this crab, but I also thank them for their life. It's delicious. >> I eat it raw. >> Crab scream. Yeah, >> they have that like >> the air release. >> Yeah, it's not really them screaming, right? Yeah. >> Yeah, it's like released air, right? >> Lobsters when you like throw them live into like a boiling water pot. >> I'm a crab. >> But that that experience, I don't know. It just gives you some sort of like connection to like >> something more real than everything you experience daily. >> They're like a catch and cook. >> I like the idea that Joe's a serial killer now. That's that's what I got out of this one. >> That is where it starts though. Like it always starts with animals. She was like, I like scaling them, feeling the guts. >> That one dude in Canada or whatever put like little cats in vacuums or whatever, you >> Oh, I can't do that. They're cute. Come on. >> Animals are too
