- [Narrator] This is
Wesley, a Patagonian mara. He looks like a cross
between a deer and a rabbit, but Wesley is actually a rodent. Patagonian maras are only
found in parts of central and south Argentina, and even there they are
becoming harder to spot. These cute little guys top
out at just under three feet, and just over 30 pounds.
Their bodies are well adapted for running, and they reach close to 45
miles per hour at full speed. Grass makes up the majority
of this herbivore's diet. They prefer living in areas
with lots of shrub cover to protect themselves from predators. However, a combination of
overgrazing and hunting for their skin has caused a steady decline in their population.
Hi there boys and girls! It's Folk Tale Time at Cool School. This one is called The Great Race. You ready? Ok! On your mark, get set, let's go! Legend has it that once upon a time, many, many, many, many, many, maaany years ago, in Ancient China, there was a rat. That's me! Not just any rat.
This rat was the WORST swimmer in the world! Hey, the cat's a bad swimmer too! That's true... There was also a cat that couldn't swim. Gimme a break! Everybody knows cats don't like water. Also true.
Nevertheless, there was to be a great race across the river, and so the cat and the rat were just gonna have to get wet. See, the Jade Emperor, the guy who pretty much ruled everything, had called a meeting of the animals The Emperor was going to honor the first 12 animals to get across the river with their very own year! Picture that: the Year of the Rat! Got a nice ring to it... I prefer Year of the Cat! Okay, let's skip ahead to the day of the big race. So many animals were there! There was a rabbit, a goat, a pig, a rooster, a snake, a horse, a dog, a monkey, a tiger, an ox, and a flying dragon.
The cat and the rat knew they didn't stand a chance. So they hatched a clever plan to hitch a ride on another animal! The dog was the fastest swimmer, but the cat and the dog fought like, well, cats and dogs. So that wouldn't work... The flying dragon COULD get them there, but the rat was afraid of heights! Finally, they settled on the ox.
The ox was fast, strong, and the cat and the rat knew they would trick him! Hey ox! You wanna hear us sing a song? Yeah! I love moosic! Did you like it? Gee guys, I couldn't hear it. Well, let us hop onto your back and we'll sing it into your ear! Okay! The cat and the rat hopped onto the ox's back just as the race began! Their plan was working! On your mark... Get set... Go! Can you hear us now? No.
Now?? Nuh-uh What about now? Nope... But I do hear a thumping sound. It was a rabbit! The rabbit was hopping across the river from stone to stone! Ah! Hurry ox! But then the rabbit missed a stone and instead landed on a floating log. Haha! Bye bye rabbit! Then they saw the tiger, coming up behind them then the dragon, then the horse! Giddy-up ox! Hya! Ya! Weird that I can hear THAT and not your song, right? Yeah yeah, life's a mystery.
Keep swimming! MS. BOOKSY: Poor, sweet ox. The cat and the rat were not being very nice! Meanwhile, three totally very nice animals the goat, the rooster, and the monkey, were still on shore trying to figure out how they could get across the river. Not one of them could swim! Just as they were about to give up, the rooster spotted a raft! The three of them pulled it to the river, hopped in, and worked together to make it across.
They even offered a ride to the dog, but she said No thank you! But you're WAY behind! You'll lose! Puh-lease, I'm like the fastest swimmer ever! I'll be fine. MS. BOOKSY: Then they saw the pig on a raft, having a snack! What? I got hungry... I guess they never read The Tortoise and the Hare! MS.
BOOKSY: On the other side of the river, the ox was JUST about to cross the finish line, when that rascally-rat pushed the cat into the water! Nooooo! And then jumped on the shore right past the ox to win the race! And so, the Year of the Rat officially became a thing. The ox crossed next, then the tiger, and the rabbit, followed by the flying dragon. Ha ha! I beat the dragon?? I'm the best! Nobody beats me! MS. BOOKSY: The dragon explained that she had seen the little rabbit floating in the wrong direction and had stopped to help him.
Well done, dragon! I am honored to name the 6th year after you! Yeah, but I got first place! Did you know THAT, dragon? Next, the horse and snake made it across the river, followed by the rooster, monkey, and goat in their little raft. Bravo! I love teamwork! Teamwork, shmeamwork. I'm the real champion. MS.
BOOKSY: After the pig and dog finally crossed the finish line, the Jade Emperor invited all the animals to his palace for a party. The rat stayed behind a moment because he wanted to make a grand entrance, like this: MS. BOOKSY: But, before he could, he heard a familiar meow. Meooow Remember me? Uh-oh...
Hm, is this their song? I don't think I like it! MS BOOKSY: The cat and the rat fought all night, while the rest of the animals had an awesome time, celebrating with the Jade Emperor. To this day, people still celebrate the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Oh yeah, and cats and rats still don't get along! The End. It would be bananas to miss an episode of Cool School! So subscribe, cluck right here! And comment below! Tell us which animal was YOUR favorite.
Here is the plan. We're going to take
this helicopter tour and fly over
the Lancaster to spot its weaknesses. Remember, we're just two
ordinary American tourists looking at the sights. Don't worry, nobody gonna suspect
anything.
It's a great plan, pointy. Don't do anything
to arouse any suspicions. Don't worry.
I am Wadiya's number one actor. You don't win four
Wadiyan Golden Globes for nothing.
Yes, you do,
because you gave them to yourself! My performance in
Aladeen Jones and the Temple ofDoom was outstanding. Have you seen
You've Got Mail Bomb? Yes, I've seen them all!
They're all terrible movies! Listen to me. Okay? You are a terrible actor. I urge you, right now,
keep your performance small and real.
All right, can you
get me a cloak?
20
00:00:58,322 --> 00:00:61,073
Why? Because I think
my guy would be wearing a cloak. No, your guy wears an American flag
sweatsuit and a sheriff's badge. I need the sheriff's badge. For what? You're sheriff
of American douche-town! That's rude.
Listen. We're going to walk over
there, act very inconspicuous. - Okay. No problem.
- This has to work.
Don't worry.
Just relax. Are you okay? My guy has a limp. I fell off me horse
at the old Bull & Bush Pub because
I am a cockney.
35
00:01:293,603 --> 00:01:30,769
Listen! Listen, okay? You need to focus up right now
and be prepared to deliver a small,
subtle performance. - Okay, great, okay.
- Okay, good.
Okay. So, when
we go to fly... Don't do that
with your eyes! You can't be
a Chinese person on this thing, okay? I'm not chink,
I'm Chinese-American! No, but you cannot
hold your eyes! Nobody is going to think
you're Chinese-American because you hold
your eyes like that! It's racist,
what you are doing! Do you know it's a fact
that they cannot pronounce their R's? They pronounce them
as L's. So instead you know
what "rabbit" is in Chinese? I don't know
how to speak Chinese.
- It's "labbit."
- It's not "labbit"! Yes! Who Shot Loger Labbit
was a huge hit in China! Nobody...
It's stup... All right, I don't care.
This is stupid, okay? Okay, I'll do Filipino.
I like to work, I like to talk. - Don't.
- I like the shit, I do the kids. Stop that.
Your Filipino
is the same as your Chinese! Now who's being a lacist? - You're being lacist now.
- I'm not being racist! Right now we have to
get on this helicopter and we have to act
like true Americans. I guess you don't want me
to play black then. I see what you're doing,
it's not cool. Of course I don't want you
to play black.
Okay. Just throwing it
out there. Okay. Don't.
Okay, don't do that. - I see what you're doing.
- That's how they walk. It's how they walk. I love being
an Americans! America is number one! Oh, I am from U.S.A.! My father also
from U.S.A.
My great-grandfather fought
in the American Civil Jihad. I am very proud
to be an American. I am America's
number one douche. I've fooled them.
Job done. So, how are things back at the Palace? Fine, but guess
who's still living in my guest house? Ooh, Bin Laden? Yes, Osama. Bin Laden flooding the bathroom
every time he showers... And how hard is it to put a bath mat
down, Bin Laden? Hey, do you remember
my favorite sports car? You mean your Porsche? Yes...
The 911. 911, It's the best! So I was driving my 911 near the
palace one day... And I totally crashed! It's ok, I've already ordered a new one. A brand new 9112012.
You know, while you are here, you
should try to see some of the sights... Such as the Empire State Building... And Yankee Stadium. And I'd love to see the fireworks
over the Statue of Liberty.
Hey, have your old back problems been
bothering you? Oh, it's been terrible! It got so bad that
I made myself a back brace. - Really?
- Yes, look, I'm still wearing it. Hey, my English is getting good... ...I bet I can count down from five
faster than you can! Five, four,
three, two, one!.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Let's go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Put it together, Rusty Rivets. Oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, Rusty Rivets. Rusty Rivets' lab is in
Sparkton Hills, yeah. He'll combine it and
design it, build by build.
Yeah, with Ruby, the
Bits, and Botasaur. Inventions never seen before. So let's go, oh, oh, oh, oh. Put it together Rusty Rivets.
Go, oh, oh, oh, oh. Rusty Rivets. Yeah, let's go, oh, oh, oh, oh. If you can dream it,
you can build it.
Go, oh, oh, oh, oh. Rusty Rivets' Let's go. [MUSIC PLAYING] NARRATOR (VOICEOVER): You
can watch more Rusty Rivets in the free Nick Jr. App.
Robbie the Rabbit was first seen in Silent Hill 3, one of four Lakeside Amusement Park mascots, along with Huey the Horse, Dawn the Duck, and Kathy the Kitty. They can all be seen on signs and flyers around the park, but Robbie is the only one to have mascot costumes of him scattered around the park and toys available in the souvenir shop. He seems to have always been the most popular. By inputting the Blue Robbie Wins code at the beginning of the game, Heather can get a Robbie tshirt to wear.
The Playstation 2 save icon also features a running Robbie. Concept art suggests that he may have originally been named "Tommy." In Silent Hill 4, we can see a Robbie plush toy by looking through the peephole into Eileen's room Later in the game, the toy changes position, but we never actually see it move. There are also two Robbie easter eggs in the game. If you unlock Cynthia's alternate costume, we can see that she has a Robbie tattoo on her butt.
A Robbie hot air balloon can also be seen sometimes if you look out of Henry's apartment window. Silent Hill Homecoming featured a Robbie doll as an item belonging to Alex' brother. It also shows up on a postcard, in some crayon drawings, and in one of the photos in the game. Silent Hill: The Arcade had Robbie enemies in the amusement park and he was in the UFO ending.
Book of Memories for PS Vita also had some small Robbie cameos. At the very beginning of the game, there is a Robbie doll in the character's room. There may also be a Robbie on the TV screen. If you use the Konami code in this menu area, you will hear a child's laugh and your character will start the next zone with a stuffed Robbie which can be used as a weapon.
Howard will also start selling them in his store. Understandably, it's not very useful, but it looks cool. If you have purchased the expansion pack from PSN, there will also be a blue Robbie mask available for purchase. He appeared as one of the artifacts in Silent Hill Downpour.
Murphy comments it's a cute doll that seems to be showing up a lot. It's in the Digging Up the Past sidequest, for the Useless Trinkets trophy. Robbie also appeared in the film Silent Hill Revelation 3D. The cellphone game Silent Hill The Escape had Robbie as a guide for the tutorial.
Robbie has also made appearances in other games, however. In Elebits, the amusement park has Robbie statues. In Sword of Etheria/Over Zenith, Robbie costumes can be unlocked and bought by the player as costumes. Robbie is a playable avatar in the arcade game The Bishi Bashi.
Along with Pyramid Head, he is also a character in Krazy Kart Racing. There was a wearable Robbie mask as DLC in Metal Gear Online. Playstation Home, which went offline in March of 2015, had several Silent Hill characters for purchase, including a Robbie costume. This was available from the PSHome Konami store in both the male and female sections.
The Robbie costume, like the bubble head nurse and Pyramid Head, was one piece. For James and Heather, you had to buy the outfit and head separately. Robbie cost 2.99. Quite a bit of Robbie merchandise has also been available over the years.
There have been Robbie shirts, Robbie statues, plush dolls, beach towels, baseball caps, and keychains..
(Toothbrush buzzing) - [Brendan] You ever wonder
why a perfectly sane person would try to run 100 miles all at once? Me, too. It wasn't my idea, though. It was my friend, Jason's. (Fun music) For six months leading up to race day, this was my life every Saturday.
Wake up early and wait
for my friend, Jason, to drive 10 blocks to pick me up, go to the mountains, and run. We didn't sleep in, we didn't have brunch
with our girlfriends, we didn't play Frisbee in the park, and we didn't sip coffee
and read the news. We ran together for hours, and every Saturday, we
ran longer and longer. I think it's great how
you used to be great I can't hate on how
you choose to relate - [Brendan] We didn't know much about running ultra marathons, but we learned one thing very quickly.
I understand why you wanted to let go A lot of pressure in the
middle of those shoulders And we ain't getting nothing but older - [Brendan] Jason and I
are not lifelong runners or really even runners. We met during college at the
University of Northern Iowa while both of us were
working as bartenders at an Applebee's restaurant. We became drinking
buddies, and after college, we always stayed in touch. We grew up a little bit
and eventually ended up living in the same neighborhood in Denver.
The only reason I got
into ultra running at all is because Jason's a great storyteller. - He's now swinging a
hammer at all of us, right? Where did the big gulp go on a motorcycle? You'd never believe who punched
me in the face three times at Hungry Bear. He's like, what are you talkin' about. I was like, Drew's mom.
- [Brendan] One day on August
2015 I took him out for pizza while he told me about how
horrible his long trail run had gone that day. - I had my shirt off,
I'm pourin' out sweat. No water. I'm like man, what am I gonna do? - [Brendan] It sounded
like just what I needed.
I don't even like running but I like challenges especially
when they're big and scary enough to get me off the couch. We signed up for a
couple of shorter races. If you look it up you'll
find that an ultra marathon is any race longer than a marathon which is 26 point two miles. They usually start at the 50K
distance which is 31 miles and then the 50 mile
distance and then the 100K.
Which is 62 miles, and then the races that are 100 miles or longer. We tried the shorter
distances, got our asses kicked in every way you can imagine and barely finished before the cut offs. If we tried a 100 mile ultra marathon, we'd be extreme underdogs. - I'm signing up to run a 100 mile race.
- [Brendan] Why are you doing that? - Because I love suffering and running with your ugly ass. - [Brendan] What am going to do with you? I had no doubt it was going
to be the hardest thing I'd ever done. But Jason has this way of
convincing you you can do things you don't think you can do. He told me a long time ago that
you should never think about why you can't do something.
You should think about how you can do it. (Upbeat music) - My mom was definitely
my first role model that I saw be put in a
really horrible situation and still push forward. What she did was truly remarkable. Hey mom! When I was in third grade
my mom divorced my dad and really didn't have
a stable environment.
She had to figure out
how to feed six kids. There was a lot of time spent
from us moving from one house to my mom getting evicted to
then when we lived abandoned women's shelter, basically we're homeless. But I never saw her give up. So I found out I was dyslexic
early on in grade school and one of those things
you don't know exactly what's going on.
You just know that you're different. They're also then labeling
as slow, stupid, or dumb so then you start getting picked on. There was a bully that
always picked on me. One day in front of the principal's office decided to slam my books to the ground and this was the last
time I was having it.
I had to jump up and
put him in a head lock and after that every
grade until my senior year I got kicked outta school for fights. I became known as a fighter. I got into wrestling through
failing in basketball. The first couple of
years I sucked horribly.
I didn't win a match
for the first two years. Until finally in eighth
grade I won my first match. So by my freshman year in high school me and some of the other
freshman made varsity and wrestling in Iowa was a big deal and so it taught me like
sticking with something you can accomplish something. I walked into the guidance
counselor's office my senior year tryin' to figure out how
does one go to college so I asked him some basic questions to which he said, oh, college
is not really for people like you, Jason.
You just sort of need to get a job, work your way up the ladder. And I just left the office. I was just like in my head
like, (beep) you dude. You have no clue what I can (beep) do.
- [Brendan] The guidance
counselor turned out to be wrong. Jason failed to complete the ACT. Because he couldn't read fast enough. He went to community college
and then got a bachelors degree and then he started knocking
on doors for a political party then he managed a winning
US congressional campaign and then he directed Nevada's first ever presidential caucus.
In 2017 he left politics to
become a motivational speaker and coach which made sense
to me since I'd been getting free life coaching from him for 17 years. Jason's built his life's
philosophy out of taking on hard things and succeeding
by not quitting. But running 100 miles was different. What if it shut him down? I certainly wasn't that confident in us.
- I was about to think, I was really inspired to run today and I think you might
gotta get into it at work. Every (beep) day. For 42 years, 5 a.M. - Exactly.
- I bet he was inspired
a lot of those days. You have to run a lot of miles before you can run 100 miles. As is true in many things in life, trying is a good way to learn. And we learned a few
truths about ultra run.
You don't have to run the whole time. Oh my goodness. You get to eat a lot. - Cheers.
- But all that food goes somewhere. Eventually you'll probably
have to poop somewhere you don't want to. Where you goin'? - I gotta go shit again. - Well enjoy.
Oh, that looks rated R. Okay. Remember, there's no
toilet paper in nature. How was it? - Dude, that was a rookie mistake.
- What happened? - I tried to wipe with some
of those dried pine cones. - It just broke off? - It was just a rookie mistake. It's not good. - Look at all these rocks.
Why'd you pick a pine cone? You often will have to run
when you don't want to. 19 Point five seconds. When the schedule says you have
to run 20 miles on Saturday, you don't stop after 19 point six miles. Parts of your body will hurt often.
You actually chaffing right there? - Yeah. - [Brendan] Is that chap stick? Your joints, your muscles, your ligaments and tendons will rebel. The pain will not go away but
it will move to other places. One day your foot hurts,
the next day it's your hip or your knee, or your
ankle, or your toenail.
You'll try anything to make it hurt less. Ice, space age lubricants
to prevent chafing, eating raw turmeric root. Yeah, I know. Foam rollers which are
home torture devices for athletes, even stretching.
When people say wow, 100 miles,
that's a long way to run. I feel like saying, no shit,
I had to run 1,200 miles before the race even started. - I've been doing ultra races for, I've been running for 45 years. I've been doing ultra races for 25 years and so what I'm going to
tell you is not a pep talk, it's the plain truth.
100 Miles is really far. - [Brendan] I'm pretty sure everybody at the starting line of this race is more qualified to be here than us. I'm terrified but at least
we're doing this together. Most people don't plan on
running the entire race with their friend.
But that's what we're doing. - It's harder than you think it is and it's going to hurt more
than you think it will. (Audience laughs) - Real friends show up for each other. Especially when it's the
dumbest thing you've ever done.
The Run Rabbit Run isn't
the easiest race to do for your first 100. It's 102.9 Miles long with
20,000 feet of elevation. Or, roughly four New York City marathons plus 18 trips up and down the stairs of the Empire State Building. And you have to finish in 36 hours, the official first cut off time.
- [Announcer] Three, two, one. - [Brendan] So here we go. (Cow bell rings) (laughs) - Think Run Rabbit Run
is deceptively difficult. 100 Miles is a journey and you're going to spend the night out, you're gonna experience
everything that comes with being out for a
24, 30, maybe 36 hours.
(Laughs) I think a lotta races start
and finish in the same place but when you arrive
back to that same place it feels like a lot of shit has gone down. The hills there are steep. You know, you're settling
in to a 2,000 foot climb or a 3,000 foot climb, and it doesn't level off the entire time. - Almost to the top of the gondola.
How do you feel? - Pretty amazing. - That's one hour. - We're an hour in. - I feel like mile three,
mile two and a half.
- Yeah, 38 a feelin' great. - Don't stop moving! There's no reason to. You can pee while you're walking. You can eat while you're walking.
You can cry while you're walking. I am proof that you can puke
and walk at the same time. There's no reason to stop. - [Brendan] Every year, on average, about a third of the people who
start the race don't finish, our race started with 242 runners and 95 of us will drop out.
We didn't care about speed. We just wanted to finish. - Your muscles are sore, that happens. If you're tired, that happens.
If you throw up five times, that happens. That is a part of running 100 miles. Like, commit to seeing
those grievances through. (Guitar music) - My name's Syd Jones.
I'm a friend of Brendan and Jason. I've known those guys
for seven years or so. The things that I really enjoy doing is knowing what they need
before they know they need it. So when they're 10 minutes away I'm sort of frantically
trying to think of, if I were at this point
of a race, of a run, what am I gonna need? Am I probably gonna need some body glide, I'm probably gonna need
to refill my water bottle.
I'm probably gonna need a hug. Nice work guys. - Thank you. Thank you very much.
(Crowd cheering) (cow bell rings) (guitar music) This burrito's kinda cold. - It's a little cold? You want me to heat that up for ya. (Laughs) There ya go. Now it's nice.
At this point they thought
they might actually be a couple of hours behind. But they're so on pace. It's been a perfect day so far. A little hot right now.
They're real hot. - [Brendan] It's easy to feel optimistic when you're a third of the way there. But in the back of your mind you know eventually that the
wheels will start falling off. - We have to be drinking some fluids.
A little bit sweaty. Thankful for this shade that
we got going on right now. - I would say that I do
not feel 100% right now. Sun's gettin' lower.
Almost 11 hours in. - Not sure of the miles. - Still havin' fun. - Still havin' lots of fun out here.
- Lots of power hiking at this point. - I'm a bit concerned about
tonight when it gets cold but they'll be warm. - (Syd) They gotta coat, right? - (Kathy) I hope. (Crickets) - Hour 12.
- Hour 12. Comin' into the Olympian Hall aid station in a second here. - Have the stick roll on mile 32. Is that right? Yeah, 41.9 Or something.
People tell you that the night is the hardest part of a 100 mile race. It's dark for 12 hours. It's cold and your world
is reduced to the little bubble of light from your head lamp. In the grand scheme of
an 18 year friendship, 36 hours is nothing.
But this is the start of the most intense 24 hours of our relationship. And I think we both kind of know it but don't want to say anything. (Crowd cheers) - [Man] Good job. - We're going into the dark,
into the night, obviously, as it's night outside and
we are going to Long Lake which is back up where
we came down earlier, about 10 miles.
It's actually, it's going to
be pretty interesting climb 'cause that was rugged on the way down. So navigating in the dark, nark, dark. - They had a snack, good
snack, changed their clothes, got a little dry, got a little
warm, had some hot broth, some hot soup so they warmed up a bit. I think they're doing good.
They might decide to slow
their pace down a little bit which is probably a smart
thing at this point. Jason seems like he's in
a really good spirits. Brendan might be lagging just a little bit but I think he's realistic
about their time goal now which is a good thing. - Thank you all.
Thank you very much, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you. - [Man] Don't forget to turn
on your head lamp, Jason. - [Jason] Yep.
- See you soon. Thanks. - (Syd) See ya later, man. - Headin' into the mountains.
Here we go. Lot's of fun. - I feel much better after
everybody force fed me. - Yeah.
- Do you? - You're a stubborn bastard. - I just felt like shit. - Oh, I'm sorry, I should say that. You're a stubborn guy.
They had to force feed you. You should have been eating! - Yeah. - I think they're about two hours late is what Hilary had said. I sent her a message so that's kind of disconcerting but, - Yeah, it says that
they checked in at eight but I think they left around 8:40.
So nine, 10, 11, three and
a half hours for 10 miles. - Hour 19, 3 a.M., Just left
the Summit Lake aid station. Mile 57 and we're jogging. - Trying to jog.
Jog a little downhill action. - Make up a little time. - 4 A.M., Hour 20. Doing a little blister blister repair here.
- It's like the darkest part
of the night for these guys and it's just brutal
watching their posture and they really do look like zombies but yeah. (Crowd cheering) - [Man] Good job. - [Woman] Nice job running. Hey guys! That is you.
- Where am I lookin'? - Right there. - Oh yeah. - So I had a moleskin on it
and now it's in the worst, I never had one there. - I feel very slow at this
point and I think every time an hour goes by I'm like, oh my god.
We're gonna be out here like 36 hours. - Brendan, I think it's over here. - She said when we're just ready to go up. - No.
- [Woman] Good luck! - [Brendan] Now I'm starting to drag. We've been moving for 21 hours and there's no way you're going
to feel good at this point. But Jason and I have a
sort of unspoken agreement. He keeps moving so I keep moving.
(Suspenseful music) - It's time to pace. We've been ready to go up and pace them since like two, more or less. - Those guys should be
comin' in about 45 minutes, an hour. It's been 24 hours.
- [Brendan] 8 a.M. On Saturday. We've been moving for an entire day. - As does happen with these things, not everything's going as planned.
(Laughs) - This is one of the worst goddamn ideas. - [Brendan] We made it through the night and you'd think the sunrise would be this big hopeful moment. But look at Jason. He's limping and we still
have 29 miles to go.
But nobody's talking about quitting. Who's the stubborn bastard now? This is the guy who's
lost a full two years of wrestling matches before he won one. - I pee when Brendan pees. Hey, I'm bringing humor right now.
We need it, okay? - [Brendan] What is this
thing in front of me? - Brendan's doin' awesome. I try and ask him. I care about him. I don't know what goes on over there.
You know. (Uplifting music) - You just keep pushing. By far the hardest thing I've ever done further and further out. One of those hard things
become way less hard in retrospect.
So this is probably gonna be the hardest thing I've ever done. - [Man] What are you guys doin' now? - Some drink. Electrolyte drink and potato chips. - [Man] How's the chip drink? - Phenomenal.
A little salt and vinegar. What? - I feel like I have the
energy to bring it home. 'Cause everything's (beep) clunked. Clunked out.
- Mile 74 so Jason's ankle
started to really hurt and become swollen. So he's trying to troop it out. Hopefully we finish before the cut off. He's tough.
But I would be lying if I didn't say I was not giving me some anxiety. - They're both pooping
right now at the same time. - [Brendan] Let's be clear
here, I'm ready to quit. Everything hurts and this is not fun.
I hate running. I hate mountains. And I hate this (beep) sandwich. But we still have a couple
hours before the final cutoff and we can still walk.
Wild, Wild horses - This is how it happened. Yeah cuz bookah, I can
take these steps that are much easier on the shin. - [Brendan] Good then, man, yeah. - [Jason] Not as much
fun suffering, why not? - Get me a peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches cut in fours, why not? Wanna have the tip of your
private parts chafing, why not? - I know those are two
of the most stubborn guys I've ever known in my life.
(Laughs) If anybody can make it
together, those two together are gonna get across. But I think they're in pain. I think they're hurting. - We're gonna be done
there by seven, you know.
- 45 Minutes, you go
four and a half miles, walking backwards. Our pace, let me just tell you guys, our pace is 30 minute miles right now. - Okay. - So yes, two miles an hour.
- We'll be done in two and a half hours. - To be past the cutoff of the 8:45. - You guys are gonna have to run. - We're startin' to
worry about these guys.
We're getting text messages that they were hurting, in bad shape. I'm worried to be honest with you. I'm really worried. I know they wanna come in under 36 hours but I'm kinda worried that it's gonna be really, really close.
- This is happenin'. What do you mean this is we're right. I'm gonna (beep) get down
this (beep) mountain. - [Woman] You got this you guys.
- [Brendan] I guess when
your friend is also your hero it's like we're runnin' or something. Sometimes you just do what he does. Not everyone finished an ultra marathon under the cutoff time but Jason's whole life has
been based on not quitting. (Crowd cheering) (inspirational music) (crowd cheering) - Here comes Jason finishing 100 miles.
- [Man] Go baby all the way, all the way! (Crowd cheering) - [Man] I need another medal! (Inspirational music) - Good job you guys. You are one tough dude. Come on, let's go sit down. You wanna sit down? You alright? Oh man.
- [Announcer] Jeremy
from Roxword, Colorado. - [Brendan] We don't always run together on Saturdays anymore now that
we finished our 100 mile race. Maybe we'll do another one some day. Maybe we'll just be proud
that we did one at all.
Whatever happens, I
always remember one thing I learned from Jason. When you're a kid, they tell
you you can do anything. Most people stop believing
that at some point. Jason never has stopped.
Maybe I shouldn't either. I think it's great how
you used to be great I can't hate on how
you chose to relate But I know that you had the potential I understand why you wanted to let go A lot of pressure in the
middle of those shoulders And we aint gettin' nothing but older Aint nothing changed
but the day we run from But nobody knows it
better than you, uh One for the bar tab two for the shine Let's go to your car do another line Barely trust 'em they're all puppets Love is nothing scared of success One for the bass two for the drums Last call gonna take whatever comes Barely trust 'em there all puppets Love is nothing scared of success .
Deep inside the laboratories of the University of Pittsburgh, thousands of animalsincluding mice, monkeys, dogs,cats, rats, and rabbitsare cut open, injected with chemicals, and killed for a wide variety of experiments. Unfortunately, this abuse is far from unusual. PETA has exposed dozens of animal laboratories over the years, just like this one, and the misery that you see here isnt the exception. Its the rule.
Time and again, weve seen experimenters treat animals like nothing more than disposable laboratory equipment. This is suffering, loneliness, and desperation. This is animal experimentation in the United States. Some monkeys were restrained in chairs, their heads clamped into vise-like metal collars.
Others in cages slowly lost their mindspacing, rocking, and displaying other repetitive behavior. This monkey pressed his hand to his head so often that he reportedly developed a bruise. Another monkey who desperately tried to escape confinement eluded his tormenters for three hours before being caught. A plastic surgeon, Sandeep Kathju, cut into rabbits legs and contorted them in order to cause trauma to the ligaments.
Wires inserted in their knees held their legs in this painful position for eight weeks. Rabbits used in this experiment lost significant weight, indicating chronic pain and distress. An experimenter named Rajesh Aneja punctured the intestines of these mice so that harmful bacteria would leak out into their abdomens, causing painful septic shock. Another experimenter, Ira Fox, injected rats with a chemical to make their livers fail.
These rats and mice endured a painful, prolonged death. Experimenter Gregory Cooper deliberately breeds rabbits so that their babies will have malformed skulls and misaligned teeth. The infants, such as Tiny Tim, who developed an infection following surgery, and Tully, who was discovered with three broken incisures, suffer almost constantly. When these mice couldnt, or wouldnt, drink water laced with an antibiotic, many slowly died of dehydration.
The desperate survivors cannibalized their bodies. Mice only exhibit this kind of behavior in extremely stressful or life-threatening situations, just as humans have also been known to do. Many animals at the University of Pittsburgh were deprived of adequate veterinary care. One mother rabbit died after a worker failed to report her stroke-like symptoms.
The laboratory didnt have any rabbit formula, and her hungry babies were euthanized and their bodies harvested for samples. When this rabbit developed an abscess, a veterinarian cut into it and pressed on it for over 10 minutes, putting the rabbit through agony before fully anesthetizing her. This monkey was bitten on the hand, all the way down to the tendons, but a veterinarian reportedly refused even to look at the wound. Many mice suffered from painful sores that could easily have been prevented.
Animals were even denied a painless death. Mice were crammed into crowded enclosures that were then filled with carbon dioxide. These newborn mice were stuffed into a plastic bag to be gassed to death. Mice drowned or died of hypothermia when their cage flooded.
This is the misery that PETA sees time and time again in government funded animal laboratories. The University of Pittsburgh received more than $475 million from the National Institutes of Health in 2016 alone. And much of that money was spent tormenting and killing animals. Scientists and other experts agree: Experimenting on animals is wasteful, archaic, and cruel.
PETA is working with top scientists and governments around the world to put an end to this cruelty, but we need your help. Tell the National Institutes of Health to stop wasting your tax dollars on cruel and wasteful experiments on animals and to fund modern, effective, non-animal research methods instead..
