0:00 don't T to when they're going to touch [Music] it have you heard this in New Zealand there's this fugitive father right who went missing a few years ago and the mother's been trying to track him down because he took the kids he stole them three three boys oh damn how do you do that but the thing is it seems like the boys kind of wanted to go because they've been trekking in like a just literally rugged terrain Forest areas for the last like 3 years damn and then people have been trying to search for them but nobody's been able to find them cuz they're like Off the Grid Off the Grid yeah and then somebody who was like kind of hiking around somewhere uh actually ended up getting like photo and video of them and so the police and the mom have confirmed like that's the family but then they disappeared again
0:51 oh so they just been kind of tight so this is New Zealand this guy just before Christmas 2021 this guy named Tom Phillips fled Into the yato Wilderness with his children uh an 8-year-old a 9-year-old and an 11 Ember Maverick and Jada they've been camping huh following a dispute with their mother he's not been seen since last November after he allegedly stole a quad bike from a rural property and broke into a shop CCTV footage showed two figures on the street believed to be him and one of the children but a breakthrough in the search for the family came when the group was seen together last Thursday at Maricopa Farmland in New Zealand's waata region after a chance encounter with a team with teenage pig hunters who pulled out their phones and began filming so like wow this is just like a notorious fugitive father who took the kids there was a search 3 years prior but they
1:43 didn't find any evidence because they went into like a just a super R re region yeah they just haven't been found living off the land damn that guy must be a really good survivalist those kids are too now kids got also got to be down right they're not going to like run away or something like that not complaining about it yeah or he tricked them into it some yeah yeah yeah get Sinister what if he's just making social media content the whole time he's making content that guy that's making big ass temples and fountains those are tight with the speed ████ those none of those are got those two Vietnamese kids making ponds yeah they they expose like almost all of cuz they use excavators yeah they're their whole construction teams and they just cut to two guys doing little ████ oh that's that takes I've been duped I really liked watching those yeah man I
2:33 think only the very first one that inspired it all is the only one that was real primitive technology the white dude it might be I don't remember this ████ was good I don't remember which one but but the Vietnamese guys they were the ones that were copying them nothing's real anymore these days nothing yeah maybe he tricked them you remember how there's like all these things of kidnappings where the guy didn't run away because he thought he had a curse on him you know like who knows what kind of thing they believe yeah but imagine camping with your dad for 3 years kind of sick and once they're out in a certain area they can't they can't leave it's not like they can run away if they wanted to it's true and they're they are young enough yeah I mean they're like the oldest one of the three is what 11 oh yeah dude they're not there's no way they're they're kidnapped either way wouldn't they be curious on what they hear outside on the forest like just motorcyles and sub's brain what is that
3:24 Dad let's let's go check it out maybe it's aote you walk out and it's just a ████ freeway come on bro I feel like New Zealand doesn't have any Predators like it's just just camping having Predators I think so like it it's probably like like Hawaii where there's no snakes and nothing or it's like Australia yeah it's more like Australia for sure like I know they got bugs and ████ but do they got like a tiger or like oh like a large yeah I don't think they got like a like a they got a kangaroo that could beat you up I heard they have a lot of crazy ████ no well they got bugs and stuff like bugs and snakes you said koalas Australia is like I'm afraid of what's in my sleeping bag let's focus on New Zealand for the sake of the story their largest Predator is the ship rat a good
4:14 climber that can reach bird nests in trees a rat yeah that's what I'm saying New Zealand is probably safe as hell ████ like they don't got nothing they don't got nothing bad well I guess if they're going to film Lord of the Rings there the whole time it might be okay oh yeah well that means they got cave trolls there oh cave trolls and the nas ghoul oh they got smigo the uh the nine the wait hold on let's go back to this thing you would think you would like to go camping with your dad for three no ████ way I did when we were camping you would do that for three I never got my ass beat when we're camping the dad's probably a rock star camping though so the boys are like man dad's the best I have nothing but great memories camping oh really fire make fire killing animals so so the top two memories are
5:04 making you don't you don't think at that age there there's some sort of complaints not that's all you know but it's not all you know they're 9 11 yeah they've already lived in the real world they they that means they left when they were like five and like eight I like sleeping out for sure I like sleep no that's just like a forever Adventure when you're like five that's what makes you feel like he's telling them something funky something weird yeah like we have to be here for because of like we're being hunted or something like you can't just be a regular there's got to be a moment where it's like I miss Mommy I think so I I think I'd miss mommy too much for sure dude the dad probably said no homework holy ████ oh that's true that's that's that sounds good dad but you got to chop this wood and build this houses he's probably just telling him you ████ leave I'll suck you it's probably something that's
5:56 simple yeah you think you think he's po it does sound fun he's T he's from Tonga how long can you camp for like rough it out I think it's different when you when you mentally think that something's temporary or should be temporary then that's that's different than versus like you know when you watch those like U TV shows like alone right the ones that actually do pretty good are not the ones that are like man I got to like last like 100 days the ones that do really good are the on they settle in they're like I'm not trying to survive out here I'm trying to thrive I just want to live here yeah well you can spit up ████ run off you better stay by the camp I think do your job it's something so simple that would be the funniest ████ it's not some fabled curse or anything he's just threatening him hey stop ████ running away
6:46 ████ and they're always like oh sorry oh jeez throw rock at youan probably oh yeah if that's the dad that's that's what I'm saying it's it's probably just that it's just ████ you oh ████ we're going to go over here and steal this motorbike or they're like they see the freeway that's ████ nothing keep stop ████ looking at it make the fire you ████ looking at you want or not go clean the bush no that's we're thinking too deep it's probably just that you tell your mom I'll beat your ████ ass just threat in them every day you want dinner or not that's not a motorcycle that's nothing that's nothing is hilarious that's why everything they
7:38 get curious about it's ████ nothing I feel like I'll be one of those dads bro you won't explain ████ just shut up it's nothing for real that's probably all it is every time they say something that's probably tiring though explaining everything your kids ask that's why our parents lied to us it's like we probably asked so many questions shut the ████ up all right this just Jesus all right that's it Jesus is why okay yeah Jesus is why that's it Jesus is the way the truth and the why well a kid will shut the ████ up when they go oh it's Jesus yeah the G that's right that's true all he's doing all day long shut up you guys are just ████ you're hungry eat the jerky you're just kids shut the ████ up one of the one of the 16-year-old uh pig hunters that like spotted them stupid said that they were
8:30 only about 50 m away from the group when they first saw them and then they got closer and they spoke with them briefly and he said to them what are you doing here who are you does anybody else know you're here and the kid respond responded only you and then just kept on walking what the heck yeah hell yeah that's how you do it just you the teenagers described Phillips as having a long beard and carrying a gun and all the kids were mased like they were going to the bush for a while that's tight a warrant for Philip's arrest was issued in September 2023 over alleged aggravated robbery where police alleged that two armed people entered a bank in that area in May and demanded cash before fleeing on a black Farm style motorbike so like he's still popping into civilization in order to get cash he's robing fools don't talk to him when they're going to touch your
9:20 dick all right all right yep
