0:00 if me and Anthony commit a crime don't ever say that you guys are gonna go down with them I never say not on my watch I go it could happen on my watch if I got any allegations that come my way I'm like I'm the JK guy you know all of us we all go to jail dude [Music] all right you guys know those like ████ giant ships think of like a Titanic right and you know how like they got those like little onboarding ramps those little uh the ones that Leonardo Dicaprio and his homie Fabrizio or whatever and they were like they were late right in the Titanic was about to boring they're running they're like no no we're Americans we don't you remember that ████ yeah oh yeah so imagine there's a situation right where this dude apparently it was already on the boat something happened he had to run off I don't know if he had to like get some

0:50 whatever but nobody knows what happened right yeah so this guy runs back to trying to get back on but it's at a point where it's like the boat's starting to leave right guys guys trying to come back on crew members like no you can't come on right now right and then he's like no but I gotta come on and then he steps on I stiff arms him again and he ████ falls into the water and he drowns no oh ████ that's what happened cause he can't swim he can't swim is that why apparently there's a possibility that and again they don't know because it all happened so fast that he might have fallen and like hit his head on like you know part of the dock or something went into the water unconscious or just drowned or hit some or some sort of impact maybe to his head the water around the Dot's nasty as ████ too it looks like straight coolant I hate people who like take their jobs too seriously it's just like it's like

1:41 what's the point like he's literally on you're gonna shut like that's just crazy especially like in a situation like that where like just safety is an order yeah because if you want to kill the guy you got to wait until the boat is out in the middle International it's all you're trying to stop him from getting on to like a amusement park ride yeah plus it's like if he was already on too it's like oh ████ okay you shouldn't do this but like get the ████ on Carnival Cruise this is actually no this is actually an inter island ferry known as the Blue Horizon so it's basically just a ferry that's taking you to Catalina oh that's ████ up bro just die that way it's horrid yeah so four crew members responsible are facing charges related to their involvement and altercation that results in the death of 36 year old individual Antonis cardiotis oh so sad that's a fake name dude are they Italians I have no idea that's so sad

2:31 that's not a rule he had he had a ticket he just disembarked the ship for undisclosed reasons and maybe he had to take a dookie there might be a there might be a dookie spot on the ferry yeah have you guys ever been on a ferry where you could take your car on and then you go that sounds fun huh I want to do it it does sound kind of fun I did a European tour where the tour bus drives on the ferry oh I have done that yeah and then the ferry goes from uh I think London to Paris and then we get back on the tour bus and then it keeps driving that's cool they used to have one in Hawaii that went to uh the islands in between where you could take your car and everything and then they uh they're like oh you're destroying the ████ whales or some ████ right the ████ way yeah like they were saying some stuff like that so then this is the funny thing right so they had to

3:21 decommission it because the environmentalist didn't like it but what ended up happening is they sold it to the military and now the military is just using it inner island in Hawaii so it's still being used but they're not killing the whales though hate the ████ right that's the same ████ the killing whales because of the oil and stuff or is it because of like the propeller like slicing they said that it it's not actually killing the whales but it can hurt them if it hits them I guess that's there's just like for prevention or whatever but the point is it's still being used it's not like they stopped it completely it's just now not being used for you know civilian I don't know this guy have family um that's a knit question Nick is like I hope they do so then they suffer next

4:11 question is like did he have any Jolly Ranchers in his pocket what color shirt was he wearing exactly do you think he had water shoes on that's a good question though that's true that would have helped them not around you think it was Divas or more Nick questions more Nick questions but also let's blame the victim a little bit should you have tried to been like running around jumping aggressively in a body of water which you don't know how to swim in this is why you boats have rules dude again coronary reports indicate that Mr cardiotis drowned with a small contusion on his head suggesting he likely hit the dock or the ramp when he fell some passengers aboard the ferry even claimed that one of the propellers struck him on the head when he felt oh ████ how do they ████ know that imagine though death by propeller that's fine wouldn't that be way worse than just a small contusion on your head I think that might be I think it's worse if he

5:01 doesn't die instantly yeah I'd actually try to jump on it if you get hit and it just like happens pretty quickly but what if it's like not here what if it's like yeah like what it was just like you're drowning and you're bleeding out in pain that's ████ I don't know you're seeing your organs come out and then mackerels come and start biting on you and then all the other divers are coming like ooh fish I think I would have aggressively tried to get back on board if I had a ticket and I'm in an area that I'm just like what the ████ I don't want to be stranded here I don't even understand the situation like if you were on a cruise right and let's say you're like an Ensenada and ████ and they're like nah you can't come back on and it's like no I'm not staying here yeah all my s███'s in there yeah what the ████ dude and I would I would try to jump on don't they do like head counts and everything too they're pretty ████ strict about

5:51 that stuff yeah but this is a fairy so they didn't have a list that's true yeah they probably didn't have like a you're not here they could probably have the wristband this is in Greece I believe not organized over there they don't know what they're doing dude I'll push you off the boat dude see the grease guys are just like these what kind of charges are these guys facing do you know the captain is facing charges related to dangerous navigation while the crew member responsible for pushing him is charged with manslaughter whoa why is the captain getting in trouble the other two crew members who were bystanders are accused of complicit complicity in manslaughter oh no why did it push the guy isn't that full just at the next the giant steering wheel what does he have to do with it yeah dude he's looking at maps and ████ hey maybe it's always a top-down thing you know like uh the leaders in in charge of everything regardless if it happens on his boat like that dude just standing

6:41 there could have done anything to help anyways anybody who gets to say it not on my watch is like responsible um because it's happened on their watch I mean that's why I never say that if me and Anthony commit a crime don't ever say that you guys are gonna go down with us I never say not on my watch I go it could happen on my watch if I got any allegations that come my way I'm like I'm the JK okay guy you know all of us we all go to jail dude we're all going to jail because just kidding news taught me I'd never say that because I know I'm not very watchful nobody watches me damn that's really unfortunate Anthony what would you do if you were the guy and there was which guy the guy who dies no the other guy if you're dealing with a unruly customer that's who's like I gotta get on that boat and you're like sorry pal anchors up now that I've read this news article brought to you by JK what would you do Anthony would reach out I'm like grab my

7:32 hand yeah I'll definitely make it a cool scene you know I'd be the hero for sure I mean look if you tried the first time because he apparently tried the first time they successfully pushed successfully pushed him off and then on his second attempt to board is when he was pushed and fell into the water I think on a second attempt like he said it's just a ████ fairy ride it's like it's like all the trains in like Japan and stuff like that or what or anywhere you jump on the train you don't have a ticket you're still on the train nobody gives a ████ and then the guy who comes around and take it to you is like oh you don't have a ticket you're gonna get fined yeah yeah yeah yeah but you're still on the train rather than falling between the cracks and dying yeah for sure you know what I mean like no matter what if you get on you can anybody can get on those trains you just need to have a ticket why didn't he wear the life jacket when he ran off the boat why'd he run off in the first place yeah maybe he was just an obnoxious dude that they didn't want him back on yeah or

8:23 what if he just dropped his phone or his keys and he's like oh I have to get it what no matter how innocent the situation if the if the boat if there's a danger zone and you jump if the boat's not moving there's a ████ to be to go on that ramp means there's a pocket of danger you can't be ████ physically altercating with a human being in that space maybe he watches like Ultimate Ninja Warrior and he's like I can make that jump he's watching on TV and he's like yo I could do that yeah he went for it and then just regardless of the rules yeah I I do have I do have to say it's it's probably poor you know the crew members like I do understand how they're technically at fault for this you know well maybe the guy doing his job got railed his boss that sounds bad but damn we're able to buy his boss in like not doing his job the day before so today

9:14 he's like I'm gonna really do my job and then he and he's like you're gonna get fired and this guy has been looking for work for days because he's that guy who's like you know it's a Prohibition era over there and they're just like waiting like they hire me today exactly with the tickets I get it I get it you could have let him like 12 people the night before he goes you always let ████ on he's like all right today I won't let nobody this guy did have a ticket so yeah he still had to take it I don't know I see yeah yeah you got a little bit I still feel like it's like you can't do your job too well to where it's like it's endangering someone he's a doorman dude that's what that guy is yeah he's a bouncer yeah I think this guy his problem the guy that died his problem is he was dressed like a pirate and then the crew member was like we ain't gonna let these pirates on this board and then he's like I gotta stole that from someone else leave it up

10:04 to Jake Somali no I'm talking about horror Pirates ████ wooden leg and everything Captain Hook pirate you're like if we let this pirate on board he's gonna take it off Joe's a doorman and a ████ Captain Hook comes she's like come on in it's like oh my God Captain Hook dude yeah because you know he's not making a jump with that piglet you gotta let him in foreign [Music]
