Oh, since we last spoke, people are freaking out over an outbreak giving rabbits tentacle like growths. Elon Musk is suing Apple, accusing them of manipulating their app store. Ronaldo finally got engaged after almost a decade, and you are going to cry once you hear the price of that thing. The UK is attempting to prove they still have free speech in the pettiest way possible. And this man says that he can swim while sleeping by shutting off half his brain like a freaking dolphin. All of that and so much more. Subscribe to the channel if I can hit this round the world first time. God, that was that was basically it. Subscribe >> and let's stop the yapping and let's go rocking. Okay, let's kick today off with the fact that Elon Musk says that he is now suing Apple. Man, America, home of a lawsuit, huh? Every day it's some some new billionaire suing someone else shot. Can't even speak to get a bit more coffee. Oh, that's good. Costa top Starbucks cup. I don't give a damn. Now, Elon went on a huge Twitter rant yesterday, and he accused Apple of manipulating its app store rankings to the advantage of other AI apps. Why do you refuse to put either X or Grock in your must-have section when X is the number one news app in the world and Grock is number five among all apps? Are you playing politics? What gives? Inquiring minds want to know. And why is Chachibit literally on every list where you have editorial control? He then accused them of antitrust behavior and put a bunch of screenshots of that editorial control of Chachabit's promotion like he's mentioned. And then he even went as far as saying X AI, which is his new AI company that basically even owns X as well, will be taking immediate legal action because Apple is behaving in a manner which makes it impossible for any AI company besides Open AI to reach number one in the app store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. Now, we did get fact checked on that by showing that Deep Seek and Perplexity both reached number one at some point. And this is when the CEO of Open AI and Elon's arch nemesis Sam Olman spoke up and he said, "This is a remarkable claim given what I've heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like." Elon responds by saying, "You got 3 million views on your [ __ ] post, you liar." are far more than I've received on many of mine despite me having 50 times your follower count. These are billionaires arguing, bickering like children. I don't mind it. It's kind of entertaining. Now, we're going to have to wait and see if Elon makes good on his promise to sue Apple because if he does, he'll actually have to prove uh that Apple is manipulating their app store, which might be a little tricky to do. But what do you guys think? Is Elon talking trash or does he have a point and Apple is doing something sus? Moving on. Speaking about sus, authorities are warning. If you see any of these rabbits with tentacle like growths, stay away. Today on the internet, people are freaking out because these images have emerged of these diseased rabbits and they've got like these growths that look like horns or tentacle uh things. And here's the thing. While these rabbits, which uh some of them were spotted in Fort Collins, Colorado, all right, Pen, if you live there, while they do look like some [ __ ] straight out of The Last of Us, >> I'm going to be a dad. >> Don't worry, there is actually a very logical explanation as to what's going on here. The growths are caused by a virus called shop papaloma. A very strange name. And well, no, there's not a cure currently. Surprisingly, this is a fairly common disease among certain rabbit populations in America. And also, it's not even new. The first case was like dating all the way back to the 1930s. So, it's weird that I'm only seeing this today. Apparently, there's like a new little outbreak cluster. So, yeah. And before the word virus makes you start locking your doors, this virus, if you want to call it that, is basically a little bit like a benign cancer cell that kind of just keeps on growing. And it doesn't really harm the rabbit necessarily unless it grows in a place that's like kind of sensitive, maybe like their eye or something. And also, I guess most importantly, I should have said this right at the beginning, don't worry, it cannot be spread to humans or other animals and wildlife yet. Hallelujah. However, because of the massive spike in interest, authorities have recently reiterated and warned locals to stay away from them. Not for your sake, but for the animals sake. You don't want to scare them or provoke them, right? They're just trying to live their life in tentacle peace. Either way, I'm now scarred for life seeing these images. Moving on. Also, JD Vance recently said that the UK is losing its free speech. So, in classic British fashion, this is how they responded in probably the pettiest way possible. We all know that JD Vance hates this meme. And so, they put it on a truck and uh they said, "How about that for free speech, JD?" Bro is never escaping this picture. Now, the group behind it call themselves Everyone Hates Elon. And they specifically drove this uh van through the town of Charlesbury because this is apparently close to where JD Vance is reportedly on holiday with his family. And not only that, but just to rub it in a little bit more, they also installed this huge picture with the same meme next to a busy street. They posted a video of it on their Instagram with a caption to say thanks for spreading faright lies about our country. We thought we'd welcome him with this meme of him that he hates. Enjoy your holiday, mate. But this funny meme has actually come at a pretty interesting time because also the same day an annual US report came out which claims that the human rights situation in the UK has worsened over the past year and they specifically site restrictions of freedom of expression. They also added that quote censorship of ordinary Britons is increasingly routine and is often targeting political speech. So the question is, does you know them driving this meme around prove that the UK's free speech is still alive and well, or would a better test be uh putting Kier Star on the van and and driving that around and seeing what happens then? Let me know. Moving on. Also this week, this man says that he can sleep while swimming like a dolphin. And he's actually had to learn how because he is currently attempting to break the world record for the longest continuous swim in history. I guess and it will take him 5 days and five nights non-stop. Noam Yaron from Switzerland has to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Corsika Island to Monaco. And he has to do this without leaving the water even for a second. He's about 3 days in, maybe at the halfway point at the time of recording, which is a total distance of 112 miles. And also the part which I found the most interesting even beyond just him breaking this world record is that because he's not allowed to nap or sleep technically for 5 days while swimming. He said that he's had to teach himself to swim while swimming. And he's done this using hypnosis. And how he says this works feels impossible. Nom said that he can close his eyes and shut off one part of his brain while the other half keeps him moving like like like dolphins do. And so he's basically like on autopilot. I told you feels impossible. And that's also the reason for this swimming line that he has, which also lights up at night. He can apparently close his eyes while he's swimming, but he can still feel the light. So if he starts it starts getting a bit dim, he knows that he's going off track. If it starts to get too bright, he knows that he's swimming into this line. Also going off track, right? And also, he's not just trying to break a record. He's doing this not for charity. Actually, it's to raise awareness. He wants to raise awareness for the Pelago sanctuary, which is apparently a region of the Mediterranean Sea, which is under threat by pollution and fishing practices. So, he's swimming through it to raise awareness for the problem. Now, while very impressive, I'm pretty sure Alex has done this first. This is pretty much how he manages to deal with all of the content that I Sorry, Alex, for exposing your your dis deceiving practices. He edits while sleeping. Shut up. Moving on. Also, since we last spoke, the BBC dropped a bombshell report claiming that Russia isn't just importing weapons and soldiers from North Korea. They claim that they are also receiving humans to work in slaveike conditions. Now, here's the thing. North Korea was technically sanctioned from doing this by the United Nations all the way back in 2019. And so, currently, they're not actually allowed to send North Korean workers abroad. But, you know, when your country literally has every sanction that can be thrown at you, it's kind of like, who's going to stop you? Now, the BBC said that they were told by South Korean intelligence officials that more than 10,000 laborers were sent to Russia in the last year and more than 50,000 workers in total will be eventually sent. They say this is because Russia currently has a labor shortage uh because of all of the men being sent to go fight in the war. They also say that they interviewed six North Korean workers who managed to flee Russia and all describe similar working conditions. They say it's an 18-hour workday where they wake up at 6:00 a.m., get sent off to highrises to to build them, and then remain working on those highrises until 2:00 a.m. the next morning, and get just 2 days off a year. This is one of the quotes from one of those North Korean workers. Some people would leave their post to sleep in the day or fall asleep standing up, but the supervisors would find them and beat them. It was truly like we were dying. Now, this is a very small portion of the entire article. Urge you to go read the full thing yourself. But what's really interesting about this story is that the BBC said that they received this information from one South Korean intelligence officials, researchers, and interviews done with those six North Korean workers. But when the BBC posted this video on Tik Tok, the comments were filled with people, many of them I imagine are bots, but saying like, "This is Western propaganda. You can't trust the BBC, etc., etc." It's like actually a very negative reaction to this. And then what makes it even more confusing looking at that, you're like, "Oh, the public don't believe this." But also, we know that Russia has literal bot forms where they they slam social media to spread their propaganda as well. So to decipher whe whether this is the real public reaction or whether this is Russian propaganda getting kind of confusing. I mean the only thing I would say is that at least the BBC had sources and evidence. All of the comments are just like lies and then they've got nothing to back it up. And also there's been a lot of documentation even before the the war in Ukraine to suggest that North Korean workers were being sent to Russia and this is just a continuation of that. So I don't know. Up to you guys. Let me know what you think in the comments. But moving on. Oh, also this week we have just probably got a new contender for the worst assassin in history. Now, this is Amy Betro from the USA, Wisconsin. And she was just convicted, I think it was yesterday, for a failed assassination attempt on a British man in 2019. In fact, she failed so miserably that the police themselves in this investigation described her as fairly unexceptionable. unexceptional. God damn you. Fairly unexceptional. Okay. How am I going to mess up that word while referring to someone else's unexceptionable? [ __ ] >> corn casserole. >> Now Amy with I e allegedly traveled all the way from the US to the UK specifically to carry out a hit that she was hired for. Not only did she have what police described as a terrible disguise, because you could still literally see the rest of her clothes, which matched what she was wearing before and after the crime, but also she didn't know how to properly hide her cell phone data, which they actually used in court as evidence against her. She ordered a freaking public taxi to the guy's house and attempted to shoot him right in front of CCTV cameras. All captured 4K. Damn. Oh, and on top of that, her gun jammed, which thankfully saved the guy's life, bro. And even her defense in court was just bizarre. She claimed that all of this was in fact the work of another American woman who sounded very similar to her, used the same phone, and also wore the same sort of trainers. Oh, and they also just happened by coincidence to be around the corner minutes after the assassination attempt. Oh man. Craziest part though about this is that one, she was found by the person who hired her on a dating app. But then also, no one really knows why a normal woman from Wisconsin, at least relatively normal, with virtually no criminal record decided that she wanted to be a hit woman in the first place. I feel like there's a backstory to this one and I want to know it. Netflix, jump on this ASAP. Moving on. And then for our last story of the day, Cristiano see Ronaldo is finally engaged after 9 years of dating. In fact, I think I was going to roast him for 9 years, but it's about the same time that I've been with Maddie. And uh we're different ages. Okay. No, not me and Maddie. Me and Ronaldo. He's on he's in his 40. So shut up. Alex, are you married? I'm pretty sure you're still dating, too. So, I don't want to reveal your public information like that. Alex, are you married? I never think I've asked. Anyway, sorry, weird tangent. He finally proposed to Georgina Rodriguez, and you've probably seen it because that post got over 13 million likes. It was captioned, "Yes, I do." in this and all of my lives. But the big question that you're probably asking is the first question that I asked. What the hell? How one, how big is that goddamn thing? And two, how much would have it cost? Well, the jewelry specialists have already flooded online and they estimate that that diamond is around 35 carats. Now, carats, even though I I'll be honest, I don't even really know what carats was. I've heard it a million times, but since I don't own any diamonds, and is it carrots for gold, too? Either way, that's apparently the measurement for the size and weight of a diamond. And most engagement rings are around one to two carats. That was 35. Oh, and also, I had no idea if Ronaldo knew this, but the size of the ring that Jeff Bezos of all people, we've covered, I think we covered his wedding, but the one that he bought his wife, the astronaut, was 30 carat. So, five less. I feel like Ronaldo knew that and he wanted to just up it. Now, that puts the price tag of this diamond between three and $15 million according to specialists, which three and 15 is a very big number to estimate between. I guess when you're in the millions like that, it doesn't really matter. It's enough to buy multiple houses. In fact, apparently this will go down as one of the most expensive engagement engagement rings. You're telling me that's just an engagement ring? Nah, cuz you know, you have to buy an engagement ring and then a wedding ring, right? Huh? Not too sure. That will be ridiculous if that's just an engagement ring. Anyway, apparently one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings in history. So, what do you guys think? Crazy waste of money or it's his money and he'll spend it how he likes. But to wrap it up, also one last PSA. Our very long week rap videos are now being moved to Friday instead of Monday because it makes sense. So, >> he can't keep getting away with it. He can't keep getting away with it. >> If you guys got stories you want me to cover, put in the chat and I will see you on Friday. [Music]
