0:00 thank you [Music] this story really um it just surprised me because I didn't even know that this could happen but you know what you're looking at in this picture is that a side of a building are those windows yeah huh broken windows Yep it surprised you but you didn't know which isn't throwing rocks yeah Oh I thought they were like that's the side of a cruise ship whoa but do you know why this happened Pelicans no it's just a wave no what the wave brick Windows like a rogue wave just hit the side of a cruise ship oh wave got that high four people injured one dead whoa wow how did they die it doesn't say but definitely died a lot of

0:50 building on a cruise ship for a thing like that that's what I'm saying like who died I've heard a lot of crazy ████ on cruise ships I didn't know this was one of them like you know what they say when you jump out of like uh like a helicopter or a ship or something and if you hit water at a certain of height it's like hitting concrete that's why you gotta like enter a certain way if the wave maybe comes at you like completely flat somehow maybe it is like a wall of concrete yeah you have to go like this to pierce through the water you have to open the window how do you think that one death happened because there's no info on it there's a one death there's one death from this before I was sleeping four injured one death you know what's a weird maybe the impact maybe they're like blunt for a strong or something a weird experiment I've always wanted to try it but I don't think MythBusters ever did he's like like you're saying like you're dropped right from like a helicopter into water if you drop a bowling ball first

1:41 and then it like blasts through the wake is that easier for you oh I don't know like it creates a little opening first before you go in I would assume yes to be like really thinking about physics if it's like there's no wind and the water is just still and flat yeah and you land on the flat I'm imagining that to be the most painful thing but I imagine if there's like waves or breaks in it then there's more chances of you not hitting one solid surface somebody who knows something about more than just dancing just to comment on this little bit do you ever spend any time in the Sun and outside of your ████ crypto office that to know anything about nature I am darker than you I'm darker than you actually we should compare all right let's come over here is Steve darker than me I don't know I can't tell you uh JK we're gonna find out who

2:37 but like by a little bit I think I'm probably a darker red I'm the darkest yeah throw your hands put your hands up Joe Joe get closer to them I'm the darkest who's darker uh actually Joe does I am Joe's not in the competition I got a good tab John stop trying to get his ████ you're not a joke I think Anthony is dark yeah all right edit that out one boy sit down hey Jordan hats right here all right I got my Joe Biden I know I upgraded you upgraded damn I'm loving this inflation right now um I'm darker than everybody here have you guys all been on a cruise yeah yeah we did a JK Cruise you did yep and then I vowed that never go ever again really why your employees and spend money on them you didn't like the cruise Bart um I just don't think I like the whole

3:27 like sea legs aspect of it but it was fun because of the group yeah but like like going to sleep like this and then all of a sudden like your feet just go above your head and then you stay there for eight hours how's that happen I don't know I think because the way they laid the bed maybe there's like it was just Rocky only one way maybe your legs just stayed in the airplane decline I was like oh this is weird meanwhile there's giant arrows that are like put head over here maybe and then you would go outside like could be you you open the window and you could actually go into like the little balcony area that was cool but then sometimes it's like she's like you're like oh ████ you feel like like fishing for ████ crabs and ████ like oh I'm gonna ████ close that door you're gonna do karaoke what's the most fun thing you did on the cruise the when I got the stone massages and

4:19 then because the cruise ship was rocking the stones were sliding off that was my favorite and then you would hear like the masseuse try to keep it like peaceful yeah you could maintain the Zen yeah she's like yeah and just like put it back on sounds Charming mine was going to Santa Barbara oh yes and thinking that we're stopping in Mexico because I was like oh we're going to Santa Barbara Mexico oh you thought it was showing up and I'm like this is a California pretty disappointed this is a cat at least you're in charge of a news channel yeah it's good it's very true but it's a Spanish word Santa Barbara Anthony did you enjoy your cruise uh I wasn't my parents so no but they have a teen room didn't they uh it was uh I think if I were to go back and as a as an adult because I

5:09 haven't been back to a cruise when I was like post 21 without my parents I I'm sure I could find my my version of like fun that would be way different for what I had back then but I can't speak on it because I think when you're with your parents like the level of restriction and the level of things you don't even want to get yourself into is so what age what age was this oh it's probably like 17. oh okay where you did have a 24-hour pizza bar which is pretty cool that was really cool and you get ice cream you didn't meet any girls oh see that's good then the princess is better I've heard that's good and they're watching the little kid drown was the best too um there's a swimming pool like in the center of the front deck and then uh I

6:00 guess the parents let the grandpa watch the little kid in the pool and then so there's just them too and then I guess we're getting over to like pretty Rocky waves so now the ship would like go forward so you'd see all the pool water that could come and like smash this kid and so the kid is like pinned against the back of the pool with all this water coming and then the Grandpa wants to help but the grandpa is just getting lifted into the air like this oh my God so he's like here's I'm gonna come help you but then the ship would rock the other way so that all the water goes like this so now the Grandpa gets slammed back and then the water was coming over here and now the kid is like elevated like this and it was just so funny because it was helpless like no one could do anything I ████ up Willy Wonka ████ see all this one like you literally see a tray of water get half

6:50 empty and it's dry right here like if there was ████ sand dollars they would have been exposed to the ████ Sun ████ it was pretty cool I've never kept getting hit by 70 000 gallons of water I've never seen Parts just like that I've never seen a ████ pool like this before my whole life that's a true that's pretty cool while I'm eating my 24 hours of pizza can they at least call the wave pool at least change the sign no I think it was meant to be true on the ship right yeah because it was rocking what's a rogue wave that's a good question I don't think any wave is non-rogue or is it because it's Rogue because waves generally go a certain pattern and sometimes maybe there's just a random T-Bone one like what's he doing there yeah why is this one going this direction yeah I think it's that I don't ████ remember I remember reading about this because I was doing show prep the other night for

7:41 this but I think it's like a rogue wave is like a random wave that's like a different size like way bigger than like the rest of the waves have been yeah and then it just caught them off guard oh ████ yeah like it's like all the ways were like this it's like this one just came in like that all the waves are crazy oh yeah it's a scientific thing it's unusually large unpredictable and suddenly appearing it just pops out of nothing it's not in line with the forecast I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often actually it probably does but you know the amount of them that hits things I think if it happened often it wouldn't be Rogue but that's what I mean like for it to damage unpredictable for it's a damage uh like the wind yeah that's I mean I guess that's the one in a million right there like oh there's a rogue wave and it just so happened that it has nothing to do with weather right it's like usually forecasting oh ████ the ways will all be rough here I feel like that's just the cruise liner's fault it could yeah maybe

8:31 you know what I mean it's like you're bringing people onto your ship into the ocean it's like I'm at the end of the day going to trust that this thing operates on the ocean and if I'm sleeping in my cabin and a wave comes in and kills me like of all the places for me to assume Danger on the cruise ship this is why you don't pay extra to get the room with the window you get the whole yeah you like the porthole one nothing dude the poor people are like yeah thank God that's when I went on a cruise Lucky Duck we got we got a free cruise for my Dad's friend or something and we were in the room with no window was it really dark in there yeah it was but we didn't have any threats of any rogue waves or like the bottom floor ones that are always underwater yeah if you're in the bottom floor and you're already under sea level then you never

9:22 get hit by a wave right yeah no but then when the when it starts sinking you get flooded first that's true that's true yeah oh so if everybody's gonna die anyway yeah then God dude that's when you know what you're really poor is you have the you know don't even get a room you just buy a bunk bed space Oh and then it's like a hostel yeah that's the cruise ships Broiler room yeah it's at uh Leo DiCaprio on them did or whatever right after you could Reuben like random poker games it's like a hostile twenty dollars this is gonna sound like another typical ████ story for me but I had a friend who died on a cruise ship that's not funny I've already done [Music] all right

10:14 foreign [Music]
