And then one day... Everyone gets to see the chimp, right? And then until one day, he gets too aggressive. And he this this incredible story, which we don't cover in the doc, but he's in this intersection, very busy intersection in Connecticut.

you know, stops traffic, you know, and it's covered in the news and it's a joke. Everyone's like, oh my God, it's Planet of the Apes again. But the chimp is trying to get a hold of the kid. The chimp's trying to, like, he's irritated. Why would you bother the chimpanzee? He threw a can of Coke at him. He runs out of the car trying to figure out what's going on.

Two hours later, right? So the state of Connecticut says, no way. You can't have this chimp anymore out in public. You've got to put him in home. So this chimp is out in space for a majority of his life and then built to confinement for the majority of his life. And so fast forward, and I'll spare you kind of the other stuff that we learned, but...

What everyone kind of talks about in revisiting media at the time is he – it was annexed. It was the wine glasses. He was drunk. It was – Maybe a relationship. Maybe the relationship went wrong. But he grabbed car keys. He wanted to go for a ride. He could drive a car. He wanted to get the fuck out of there. Yeah. That's what happened. Right.

But we love this. I'm sorry, love. But we're interested in this tension here. because we think we can control things. I mean, that's what, if you've seen the movie Nope, this great footage with this chimp Gordy, which he covers and is a through line in the show, it's inspired based on this whole idea of spectacle and humans that can control things.
