They Almost Killed Him 20 Different Times 🤯
Chris recounts approximately 20 close calls with the Hells Angels where his life was in danger, most of which he was unaware of at the time. He describes specific incidents including a planned ambush on an overpass and assassins visiting his apartment. He attributes his survival to divine protection.
Summary
In this brief but intense clip, Chris reflects on the numerous times his life was threatened during his involvement with the Hells Angels motorcycle club. While he was personally aware of roughly three close calls, he later learned from a cooperating witness and someone named Sandy that there were approximately 20 total incidents where he was targeted — most of which he had no knowledge of at the time.
Two specific incidents are highlighted. First, Chris discovered that members had shown up at his second-floor corner apartment with the intent to kill him. Second, while riding with the club's president, who was later killed in an explosion, Chris unknowingly passed through an ambush scenario where armed individuals were waiting on an overpass to shoot them. For unknown reasons, the attackers held their fire.
Chris closes the account with a deeply personal reflection, crediting God rather than his own awareness or skill for his survival. He makes clear that he was oblivious to most of these threats as they happened, and that only in hindsight — through conversations with cooperators and associates — did the full scope of the danger become apparent.
Key Insights
- Chris learned from a cooperating witness and Sandy that there were approximately 20 attempts on his life, while he had only been personally aware of about three at the time.
- Assassins visited Chris's second-floor corner apartment with the explicit intent to kill him, an incident he was completely unaware of until told after the fact.
- Chris was riding with the club president — who was later killed in a bombing — when armed individuals waited on an overpass to ambush them but chose not to shoot for unknown reasons.
- Chris recalls Sandy prompting his memory of specific details, such as a car on the side of the road, suggesting he had no conscious recollection of the threats as they occurred.
- Chris attributes his survival entirely to God rather than his own vigilance, stating explicitly, 'God was watching Chris' — framing his survival as miraculous rather than strategic.

[0:00] What kind of close calls did you have >> with the Angels? It was probably three that I knew of, but about 20 alto together that I had no idea. Sandy would say, "Did you know they were out at your apartment?" And then I talked to the guy that cooperated. He goes, "Did you have apartment?" It was a two-story second floor in the corner. And I go, "Yeah." "Why were they at your apartment?" To kill us. Because we were part of the Angels. There were times when I was riding with the president that got blown up. Well, they were on an overpass waiting for us to come over the overpass. And for whatever reason, they…

The Unexplained Laser Experiment That Breaks Reality
A guest discusses his belief that reality is fundamentally computational, explaining how decision points create parallel worlds and branching timelines. He connects these concepts to quantum computing mechanics and addresses questions about free will, time travel, and the nature of reality.
The Only Way Time Travel Could Work 🤯
The transcript explores whether time travel is theoretically possible by drawing parallels between reality as computational code and decision trees. While reality cannot be 'uncomputed' once rendered, time travel might be achievable by finding alternative computational paths that would appear as movement backward through branching worldlines or parallel worlds.
