Sorry, I just died there yeah not long enough
It's gonna be the second week of school back and I'm not looking forward to that
But it was nice to kind of hang out a little bit more kick our feet up not have to do shit on a Sunday
I'd have to do shit any day. Well, except regular work, but
You know, I've been playing a lot more video games
It's been good. We're back. How's been how's been your break? I mean not not bad. Yeah, same thing didn't do shit
Hell yeah. Took it easy. I made sure to not read a single
historical article
for a month
Wow
No, it's been good. I found a couple a couple ideas while I was just browsing through shit
So I've got some some interesting and fun stuff planned
Oh, yeah for Christmas
My mother bought me a book. Yeah, that's about how white evangelical white evangelical kiss
twists
evangelicals white gel equalists
Evangelic evangelists. Why can't I say that?
Evangelists there we go white evangelists basically ruined America
Yeah using propaganda and stuff like that and you know what? It's it's good
I mean, I I'm barely into it like I've not had the time to read it yet
But I'm excited that might be an episode towards the end of the season. Yeah, I actually looked up some shit on
Joining the Westboro Baptist no, I actually
Know I found some information on like a couple different things linked to the Westboro Baptist Church
So it's kind of interesting and weird and crazy. So before to that
Yeah, so, you know, I'll get us started on our yearly episode
Oh and for those of you that send information to us, you're like, hey, this is kind of cool. Thank you so much
I have plans for like the three or four episodes that people have sent
so
Tune in we'll have those come in and if you have stuff that you find that's interesting even if it's like
again
Dr. Adolf Hitler in Ohio Dr. Gay Dr. Gay Gay Hitler
Yeah, hi, if you have funny shit like that send it our way. We can always we can always stretch that shit out
So yeah, we'll do an entire episode. Yeah, we'll figure something out. Yeah, so yeah, take it away man. Take it away
I brought water so I wouldn't be choking this entire time, but then I choked on the water
You're chugging on that cream pie. You just guzzled down. Oh, yeah, we got another one
We'll eat that half. I've always got another one
We'll eat that halfway through together. We'll split it. We'll split it. We'll be Eskimo brothers
Alright, so major Walter Summerford is a British officer World War one
You know mustard gas chlorine all is quiet on the Western Front 1917
They shall not grow old. Did you watch 1917? No
It's next on the list. You said you were gonna watch a movie a day
I lied and when did I say that to me a couple weeks every day? Yeah
Watching a movie a day while I'm working. Oh at work. Yeah
It's still too busy. So that was a lot. Yeah, everything I say is a lie
This guy doesn't exist. No, I made him up. No, so in 1918
He's you know riding a horse through Belgium and he gets struck by lightning end of the story. No, it's not
He gets paralyzed from the waist down. Oh
No idea what happened to the horse. Probably not good. I've assumed dead
Yeah, probably so he was forced to retire because he was paralyzed from the waist down in fucking 1918
Yeah, like what are they gonna do? So he retires and
He moves to Vancouver. Okay, and over a couple of years
He relearns how to walk good for him. Yeah, his big motivation. He loves the outdoors
He loves hiking and fishing and camping
So that's what really helped him is just being able to go at his own pace and enjoy the nature and the beauty
Do the things that he loves to get back literally on his feet? Yeah, exactly
so it's 1924 he's out fishing and
And
Casting out he'd probably fly fishing, you know
Yeah, and a tree gets struck by lightning
No, it arcs from the tree into him and paralyzes his entire right side. Oh my god
so
He has to relearn how to walk
go through intensive rehab takes a couple of years and
And you know, he's he's pretty much back to as normal as he was before the second strike
1930 he's walking in a park and
He gets struck by lightning fucking way and he's fully paralyzed. Okay at this point
But he has survived the third he has survived it and you know medical care in
1930 if you're fully paralyzed is basically waiting for a nurse to come and wipe you either that or an iron lung
yeah, and one of the two yeah, so he's sitting in the bed and
It takes two years
Till 1932 where he dies from complications related to being fully paralyzed and not having the best medical care
and all that stuff
It's fine four years passed by
His gravestone is struck by lightning. No way in 1936
It was struck and damaged by lightning. In fact from his first strike every single strike was
Six years after the previous so was this what and he got struck four times technically if you want to count
Yeah, I mean, I'll count it. I would say he's still got struck. Yeah. Yeah
He must turn out spit on a nun it turns out he was a sex offender like 30 foot
Metal rods sticking out of the top of his his gravestone. No out of the top of his head. Yeah
He was always wearing the antenna that they have in the burbs
Yeah, exactly
You have no idea how tall it is. You never know goes on forever. Yeah
But I just thought that was so God dude that he was paralyzed twice
Well, he was paralyzed three times, but he recovered twice and it was each one was exactly six years from the next
What was his eventual like what was his cause of death?
Just just all locations. Yes, like okay you failure to thrive like you
Was sitting in a bed for two years completely paralyzed, but completely conscious. I'm gonna be honest
That is going to go so well with the last one that I'm gonna do today
It's gonna be the last one of the episode will be perfect
Yeah, and then you can just re-listen to the episode on a loop and it works, right?
Exactly. Do you want me to do a second? Yeah, go for it. Take it away
Michael Anderson Godwin slash Sloan. His name was Michael Anderson Sloan
But he also went by Michael Anderson. So you didn't know which side of the family liked more. Yeah. Yeah, exactly
Definitely had nothing to do with the fact that one was an alias for committing crimes
So 1980 he's 21 years old and he's on work release from a prison. Okay
He's he was sentenced a couple years ago where he robbed a lady with a knife
It's a little bitch. So he's out on the
you know work release he's gonna get out in maybe a year or two and
He just happens to decide to murder and sexually assault a woman by the name of Mary Royham
Royham fucking idiot. They find her in her apartment. They're able to link it back to him and he goes on trial in
1981 he gets sentenced to death
via electric chair
which is perfect and
Basically in in 1983, there's a retrial they throw out some of the sexual assault charges and the charge gets commuted to life in prison
Okay, so they were gonna fucking zap it. They're gonna zap like the first story
But not this time not this time drop the charges six years past change change the charges
Yeah, six years pass. He's gotten two college degrees. It's struck by fucking like struck by lightning
No, I wish that would be that would be perfect
But he yeah, he gets two degrees. He starts making plans of because it's life in prison
He thinks he might be able to make a case to get out in a couple of you know in like ten years
So he's kind of preparing for that
He's you know, he's still in a prison cell. Yeah, it's a life prison cell
So it's a little bit bigger. You can have some stuff in there a little bit
Yeah, let you live a little bit a little bit. So when you watch TV at this time period and in this prison
You're giving a set of headphones. So nobody has to hear the monk like intro or
Quantum leap or whatever. I don't know what was on
But they you know, he had the headphones they weren't working very well, it's pretty handy and repair and stuff
So he's shitting because what else are you gonna do? It's your only seat beside your bed. Oh, yeah
He's he's dropping a dump. He's fixing his headphones. These are 1980s headphones
like no serious shit, okay, and
He's like, oh the wire is broken. It needs to be spliced or something like that. Yeah, so he bites into the plastic
So that he can get to the wires and his teeth connect with the live wire and it jolts from his mouth
Through his body into the metal toilet seat and he gets electrocuted
I was really hoping that it was a porcelain toilet seat and it went from like the long shit
They was just barely touching the water
And that did all that. That would have been better. In fact, let's just say that happened. Yeah, that's what happened
Yeah, it wasn't a metal toilet seat. He got the brunt of it in his mouth
So when like when they found him his mouth was just fucking toasted
So, you know, I'd rather die at the electric chair than getting toasted. I mean he did he died at the
No, that was the electric chair. Yeah the electric throne
Oh
My god, dude. So I really hope I didn't do this one last episode
I know I've been thinking I had a whole time think I read it but if I did it, I'm sorry
I'll call you out now you got now you got two jokes
No, you gotta you gotta go back compare the two and decide which story was better
Yeah, let us know if we've done any please don't don't don't call it was six years ago
We're very fragile people four years ago. Yeah, I'm very fragile. Holy shit. Yeah, this is September four years. Mm-hmm
so
Kurt Goodell
What are Godel probably it's my good else good. Oh, yeah, it's Godel go bull. He's he's fucking German
He has definitely it's good. Oh, he was an Austrian American or sorry Austrian not German. Uh
No, you said Austrian. Yeah, but I said sorry Austrian not German. He was Austrian
so he was an Austrian American mathematician
and he's held in really fucking high regard like you know about his his algorithm or whatever and we'll get into it, but
a
Lot of people were kind of like oh, he's like the
1900s Aristotle kind of thing this this dude
He was big he's doing like speeches all over the fucking world and everything in his peak lecture tour lectures all over
He's like releasing books people are eating up
What he did on let's see
Axioms and the incompleteness theorem I should have written down what it was about
Maybe go to the last episode. I might have fucking talked about what it was. I don't know if I did this one
I don't think you did there's a good way to just kick up the numbers
Yeah, five episode one just go back check it out. Maybe I did this one already
so
He has a really close friend
more it's slick that they they kind of work together with their
With their
Math yeah, like with their theorems and everything
so more it's
released this big thing about positivism and
Was really well known for it taught a class in Austria. These are two very well
regarded men and
They were also both very outspoken in 1936
Against what Germany was doing?
Which I don't know if you've heard anything about 1936 in
Austria slash Germany. Yeah
But uh rings a bell things are things are a little tense
Yeah, let tension word certain people didn't like to hear that the reason that they were
Rounding up Jews was a bad idea
so
Get more it's is on his way to
teaching one of his classes and
More it's gets fucking assessed
With a pistol on the steps
Like before his classroom, but I was into the building. I was thinking of a different one. Oh, really?
Yeah, no, I mean this one continues. That's not yeah, that's not the interest. Yeah
This one's like a death that leads to
Moritz gets assassinated
One of one of the students of the college runs up bugging shoots him in the in the stomach or chest like two or three times
Kills him in the front and then they they ask him like and this kid was open about like why he did it
He's like, yeah, he was defying Germany almost like the media emboldened young people with mental illnesses to
Commit crimes
Weird so totally unrelated
After this Kurt is just heartbroken
but
Because he worked so heavily with Germany
But because he worked so heavily with with Moritz
It kind of fucks him up and he starts to worry about being poisoned
Like maybe it was the same one that I like thinking
Paranoia levels of worry like it's not just like yeah
I I think I might be poisoned like this
consumes him to the point where
He will only eat the food that his wife makes
Yeah, not even the food that he makes. Yeah, just yeah
He's like only my wife can make this and I will only eat her food. She was a Soviet spy
No, I'm just kidding. So
I she ends up in 1977 becoming so fucking old and sick that she she's hospitalized
and
Kurt
Refuses like you said he won't eat his own cooking because who knows what they could put in the ingredients
So Kurt just... That his wife can somehow detect
I know she she just tastes it. He just watches her while she cooks. She eats it first
So he just basically refuses to eat from this point forward
And he ended up dying of malnutrition. He weighed 65 pounds
at time of death
Yeah, literally like
He intentionally starved himself to death
Yeah, he he must have been
I don't know on the spectrum or had something that's my guess with him because the way his thought process was was that
If I you know, if I don't cook if my wife cooks the food I can eat it
If anybody else prepares the food, it might be poisoned and I might die
It's basically laid out his thought process on paper as a mathematical formula that
Basically said unless my wife cooks me food. I will die
God damn
And he convinced himself that it was completely true
The most absolutist if-than statement
Yeah
Like he never yeah, he never thought that oh, maybe my wife is going to get sick or die
Yeah, like he never even considered the possibility
I don't know man. It's wild
Crazy dude
Interesting and unusual
Very unusual
Math killed this guy
Tell your teachers
Oh shit
Alright, what you got?
Alright, Daniel D'Trois
Probably is how you would say it. He was a South African. We did a couple episodes on South Africa
We did
Last season
Like November. I don't know what episode they were but
But they're there
Check them out and if you want a good one subscribe to us on Patreon
Oh, yeah, we did talk about doing on the exclusive
Alright, so he was born in 1917
Astronomer
Scientist
He actually discovered and co-discovered
Lots of comments
Including some that have broken up since then
So they're not really in existence anymore
They don't fucking matter anymore
So I couldn't find a lot of details on his life
His Wikipedia page is so short
That's kind of the struggle with weird deaths
Is that no part of their life fucking matters
Should you read about it?
Only to focus on their death
Yeah, and everybody's heard of the ones on the list on Wikipedia
Because that's what we did for our first season
So this guy at some point
Lost a leg in an accident
Or maybe it was an injury
And he was forced to retire and he started doing the
Professor lecture thing
Oh, okay
And he's doing this lecture and he's like
Alright guys, today we're talking about death
And then just fucking die
And then dies, no, he starts talking about death
He starts saying, you know, be prepared because
Like, it's so easy to think about it
This gives a lot of people anxiety
So if you have a lot of anxiety around yourself
Just dropping dead at any moment
Maybe skip forward a minute
But you know, a lot of people, it's like
Oh, you see people dying on the news and in the internet
All the time
And you never think, oh, that could be me
And so he was saying, you know, be prepared
Because at any moment you could die
And that was the entire point that he was trying to make
And he's like, alright, I'm done
Pop some mint in his mouth and chokes to death
No fucking way
Yeah, completely just chokes to death
They try to heimlich him
Does not work
And he dies, in the lecture hall
Jesus Christ
The fucking worst luck
Yeah, right? You don't need to outline your point
Like, the dedication to science
If you're really gonna fucking stick a point
As a professor
That's one hell of a way to do it
Goddamn
So that one was fantastic
I like that one, short, sweet to the point
None of his students ever, ever
Forgot
And they never died
But they all had wills
None of them forgot about that
I'd immediately go get a living will
Damn, dude
Next up, I got
Derek Kieper
I-E-P-E-R
Kieper, let's go with it
Derek Kieper
In 2004, he was 21 years old
I didn't want to do the math
But he wrote and published an article
That was published in the Daily Nebraska
Okay
No, Daily Nebraska
Daily Nebraska
That one sounds more like a Nebraska newspaper
Okay, I'm gonna tell you
21 years old
In 2004, in Nebraska
What do you think
His article was on?
What do I think? So he wrote the article, right?
He wrote the article and got it published
My guess is how to
Make corn whiskey
At home
Close
Maybe, I'll give you a hint
It could be political
In 2004?
But it's still Nebraska, so
Really nothing's changed
So it's definitely anti-John Kerry
In 2004
Well, it is
Yeah, fuck
Like
A memoir of 9-11
2001
How John Kerry was responsible
And it's just the introduction
To Jewish space lasers
Very close, very close
It was actually about seatbelt laws
I mean, yeah, all of those lead you
Down that path eventually
It specifically said that it was a government
Overstep and they're trying to control our lives
By mandating people wear seatbelts
Okay, so better off dead
I'm already liking where this
He chose the right
Episode to show up on
And he said that
There was a small group of people who
Wouldn't stand for this
Uncle Sam's overreach
It's that libertarian bullshit
It's thinly veiled conservatism
That says it's libertarianism
It's the Bible belt of bullshit
Exactly
And he's part of
Texas, it's like Texas, Oklahoma
Kansas, Nebraska
And then just above Nebraska things
Start getting a little bit better in Wisconsin
A little bit
Wisconsin, yeah, that's right above it
South Dakota, whatever, up there
They're all the same fucking state
They're all the same state
So
He says there's a small group of us
Who refuse
To wear seatbelts
Out of spite
Out of principle
We're not going to wear seatbelts
I'm going to stick it to the man
Because if you say I have to do it, I'm not going to do it
Which is actually me in real life
But not on serious things
You in real life, but not to an extremist standpoint
Not to a point where I'm going to
Die or hurt anybody
It's you, but without
Common sense
That's what all of these are
I've never been struck by lightning
You got four fucking times
To go, baby
But yeah, so he
Writes about this in this little group
Year later, there's
Another article, I found both of these articles
By the way, which was just fantastic
Another article
Comes out, January 2005
How soon after?
It was
Sometime in 2004, it was January
2005
This article came out
I like to think that it was December 2004
And then January 2005
But, you know
Yeah, so another article was published
About him, and it says that
Yesterday
I think it was a Ford
Explorer that he was in
Hit a patch of ice, rolled
Multiple times, and he was ejected from the vehicle
And the
Two other people in the car were seatbelted
And survived with minimal injuries
Fucking seatbelts, kids
Right?
So have you seen
The
I think it's like an
Ad that's in Europe somewhere
And
Is it the one that's really brutal?
I don't know, so it shows these people driving
And three of them
Buckle their seatbelts, and there's one girl in the back
That doesn't
And they get in an accident, and it shows
Her body shaking around
And shit, and the whole thing is like
Oh yeah, like they're about to kiss
And that's what ends up killing the guy
That she wanted to kiss
She goes face first into him
And fucking cracks his neck, and it's like
By not wearing your
Seatbelt, you are also putting
Others at risk, and I'm like, holy shit
That's a good message. Yeah, they do not fuck around
With PSAs in Europe. I know, I love it
It's fantastic. Hey, Nordic Thunder
If you guys have any crazy
PSAs
Tell me about them and I'll see if I can find them on YouTube
Yeah, just any commercials that you're like
Yo, this is a good one. Send it on over
We love that shit. Yeah, I love that shit. We won't know
What they're saying. No, no, maybe
I'll have captions, hopefully they'll have captions
If they don't, it's okay. I'll get the gist of it
We'll share something
It's fine. Yeah
Alright, so my next
Is, it's kind of another
Life is fleeting
Yeah, I really think that is the
Overarching, that's what this bit
Is. Honestly, yeah, like
I feel like it comes off, so you gotta
Realize, with a lot of this
Some of these, I get it
It's like, you lost a fucking loved
One, it's unfortunate
But, I like
To think that the overarching story is
Just, shit can fucking
Happen. At any moment
And then you can pop a mint and be
Dead. You could be listening to us
On, like, you could be
Listening to us
On your favorite headphones
And you go to fix the wire, and you
And you cook yourself on the
Golden throne. It's theorized that
He was listening to an episode of Pressure Points when he died
No, it wasn't theorized, it's true
I mean, we can confirm it now that the
NDA is up. Yeah
As of like two minutes ago
The Statute of Li- Yeah, just now
My lawyer just sent us an email
That the Statute of Limitations is up
So we're good. So
Humberto Hernandez
Yeah, you better believe I dropped that
Nice. That bomb
So, he's walking with his wife
In Oakland, California. This is like
Oakland, alright. Yeah, it's like
2007, 2008, right around then
And
They were kind of on like a nice little
Evening
He stops at a shop
Buy some flowers for her. Ooh, nice little
Date. They stop and get some
Cherries to eat off of each
Other's genitals later. It's kind of a cute
Little moment. Yeah, so cute
And they're headed over to
Dinner. Now
They're
Like, it's like I said, it's a
Grand old day out
And there's this SUV
That's driving down the road. They're not speeding
They're not doing anything crazy
But one of their tires pops
Now I'm sure you think
You know where this is headed
That the SUV barrels into
Them, crushes both of them
No, it's nothing preposterous
This is a special day for both
Of them
It's a day they'll never forget. Yeah, it's a day that no one
Will ever forget, especially if you listen to our show
So
SUV's driving down the road
Barrel pops
And... Barrel? Sorry,
Barrel, Jesus
I swear, I'm not going to say there's a barrel roll
That didn't happen. So the tire
Pops, and at this point
Humberto had kind of like moved
A little bit further ahead of his wife
While walking, I don't know
Why, he was just like in a fucking
Hurry to go get dinner, he's probably hungry
So, the SUV
Is going a little bit
A little quick
And it hits a fire hydrant
Now
Tire pops, crashes into a
Fire hydrant. Crashes into a fire hydrant
The thing about hitting a fire hydrant
In this specific one
Is that I don't think it was
Properly installed
Per se
So, with the speed that
They were going, it
Angles the fire hydrant on about a
45 degree angle
And all of the pressure that was in
The water main
Launches this motherfucker
It is a missile
Headed
Straight around Humberto
So he's a little bit
Ahead of his wife
Fire hydrant flies up
Skips on the cement, one time
Bounces up
And hits him in the back
Of the head
Killing him instantly
And it continues
Flying, and hits a
Fence, bounces off of that
And lands like 20 feet away
So
Humberto's fucking done for
In a moment
He didn't even know it happened
Seriously, it really is
And I mean he just had a nice little memory
With his wife, I mean his wife's wife is great
She's fucked up forever
But he got a nice little last day
He got a nice little day
And then snap, gone
So, the police
Show up on the scene
They're like, holy shit, this is absolutely
Insane, and I mean
I can't imagine you can really set up
Ballistics very well for something like this
It's a lot of estimation
The police officer is like
If he was a step forward
Or a step backward
It very likely would have
Missed him
Yep, that sounds about right
It's just perfect place, perfect time
It's fucking awful, but the
Officer also goes, he's like
I can't even pick up
That fire hydrant by myself
He's like, that shit is so heavy
The water pressure was
So high to have launched it
At this speed
Like, can you just fucking imagine
And so, like at the very end of the
Article, they're like, and if anybody was
At that location
And saw it happen, please reach out
To Oakland County Police
Or like Oakland City Police
For more, like
So you can give them more information
Or whatever, but I guess
The lady was like, I swear to god I wasn't on the phone
I wasn't texting, I was
Not distracted, it's just
The tire blew
And I swerved
Yeah, I know
A little bit about
Water main infrastructure in regards
To fire
Of course, oh, okay
In regards to fire hydrants
I know that
Where we are, in this state, so it's not
Doxing or anything
Basically the major
Population centers in Utah all live along
The mountains
And we actually use just the natural
Water pressure, we store our
Water above the city level
And just use the natural PSI
That that
Gravity generates
And there's a whole bunch of math about like
We have to bring it up every foot
Based on this perfect length of pipe
Because the friction on the inside of the pipe slows down the water
A lot of math that I
I'm not gonna bore you with, but
How the fuck do they do it in Oakland?
Do they just have like a turbine?
Holy shit
They have it running 24-7
And they don't
They don't bleed the lines at all
They're just like, yo, if this shit bursts, it
Bursts, we'll just let it go out to the air
It's a nuclear generator
But yeah, when that shit
Gets a little bit of leeway
Yeah, because here, I've been sprayed
With a hose connected to a fire
Hydrant that was
And a pump that was basically street
Level
I wasn't right up to it
I was 30 feet back at least
And it was a wide bore
Hose
Wasn't terrible
You know, I survived, I didn't get bruised or beaten or anything
So they must have like
Interesting and unusual death
AJ, a friend of mine, died
Getting hit by a fire hose
Now it's crazy
I did get whacked a lot
With those fire hoses
I didn't know that it was just based like solely off of
The natural, like the gravitational pressure
That's cool
That's why like water towers are a thing
Because it
Back in the day more so
So they would use a pump to pump up the water
As needed
And then the natural gravity
Is enough pressure to feed it to everybody's homes
To a certain point
Like some places, like tall buildings
May have a water tower on top
Or they'll have pumps on top
That then pressure to the rest of the building
Depending on how high it is
But for general residential shit
It's just gravity
I didn't know that
See this is a filler
This is the filler that you came here for
Oh yeah, no it's good, it's fun
It's crazy, I had no idea, that's fucking wild
So I got another short one
Okay
And from here on out all of mine are
Very predictable
Which is kind of the point
From here on out I would say
None of mine are very predictable
Good, okay so we balance
So Jerome Moody
Went to a party
Sometime in August
Probably August
In 1985
I found the original article
From the Associated Press in New Orleans
I went to New Orleans
And used their microfilm
On the site
On the job
On site reporting
On site reporting
And the article is from
September 1st, 1985
Okay
And it says that Jerome Moody
Was a
Plus one at a party
All the like city
Swimming pools
Their lifeguards would have a party
At the end of the season
And he was a plus one
He was the plus one to a lifeguard
And they always had a party at the end
Of the season but this one was an especially
Big party
Because it was the first time in recent memory
That they had gone a full year
Without a drowning
Oh no, you fucking god damn it
There were 200 people present
And about half of them were lifeguards
At the end of the party
Somebody realized
That Jerome was in the
Bottom of the pool, fully dressed
Did he
What happened? He drowned
Did he slip in? Did he fucking
Nobody knows
No witnesses, no information
Jerome was sticking into the man
So they realized
There's a body down there, they pulled him out, they start trying to
Resuscitate him, oh he'd been dead for a long time
Jesus
He was fully clothed, yeah, they have no idea
How long he was in there, they got no idea
If he was pushed or slipped
Or drank, like he drank a little bit
And you know, just party
But I just love that
God damn it Jerome
Did nobody hear a splash?
And I promise, I promise
That that fucking county never had one of those big parties
Ever, ever again
If they had like a summer
That went by and nobody drowned
They're like, nah, just do your own local things
We're not gonna fucking do this again
We're not gonna throw this huge party
Again with everybody coming
Yeah, with 200 people
Like, did nobody hear a splash?
Did nobody
Look into the pool
He showed up and he was like, hey, what's this big party about?
I got invited by a friend
I was just curious, oh it's a lifeguard party? I'm gonna go pretend to drown
Oh yeah, lifeguard party
He's like, why the fuck are you guys having it?
They're like, well, nobody drowned this summer
And that sparked an idea
In Jerome's mind
Jerome's like, now's my time
He's like, you know what I hate? Lifeguards
More than just breathing air
Lifeguards
And yeah
It was just such a weird one
God damn it
This is a normal dude
This guy does not have a Wikipedia page
This guy was reported in a local news
I love these
That was eventually digitized
And that's the shit that I love
I love those ones
Okay, I got
Another one that's like
It's pretty good
It's longer than the last one
And this is
The quite opposite, this guy's a very well known person
Donald Hubler
Hubler
He was a World War II paratrooper
He originally like
You know, volunteered to go into the service
His dad passed away
So they said, no, no, no, you stay home
You know, get everything in order
Got everything in order and then went and volunteered again
Okay
Pretty young guy, he was pretty young
And he
He was involved in the Easy Company
Which I don't know if you're familiar with that
I'll go into it a little bit
People who know him know who Easy Company is
Okay
He was dropped
In D-Day
He was involved in
I forgot what it was called, it's Market Something
Operation that failed
He dropped in
He was involved in the Battle of the Bulge
Like nationally reclaimed
World War Hero
Show
Yeah, it was a show, Band of Brothers
Oh, okay
That follows Easy Company from my understanding
I didn't know that
I haven't seen it, which is weird that I haven't seen it
But I do need to watch it
We'll have to watch it at the same time
I've seen the first two or three episodes
Like twice
So we'll watch it at the same time
But yeah
Like a lot of American soldiers
Spent a lot of the war looking for that
Iconic
That perfect Iconic Nazi
Piece
And the one he chose was the Luger
Which I don't blame him for
I probably would have done the same
Mine would have been like
The boots
Mine would have been the knife with like
The little finger hole
That one wasn't on the front lines though
Oh, it wasn't? No, that's a Hitler Youth
Knife
I would have fucking murdered
A Hitler Youth
For that knife
If you're a Hitler Youth
If you're a Hitler Youth
Let me know
I'll come find you and kill you
No one will be sad
You can get an original for a couple hundred bucks
If you know where to find them
I had a girlfriend
In high school and her dad had one
Oh, that's cool
He was a Neo Nazi
He did run over a kid in the 60s
That was getting out of a school bus
So there's a chance that it was a Hitler Youth
It was a Hitler Youth and he harvested it off the body
He just took it off and he's like, I bought it on an auction
I swear
So a Nazi on horseback
Got a little too close to him
He shot him down
He was also
Recalled as enjoying a lot of the war
Where like other people would hear him
Be like, oh I got one, I got one
Being excited about it
When I read that I was like
I was reading an obituary of him
Before everything
Holy shit, what the fuck
Up to this point you were like, hell yeah
Not bad, this guy's kinda cool
Oh, oh fuck
Oh god, oh fuck
So yeah, this Nazi on horseback came by
He shot him three times, the Nazi shot back, missed everything
And he's like
He shot me with a Luger
And I shot him, which means that's mine
So he's excited
He basically dibs it
He goes over, he's looking at the gun
He's like, oh hell yeah
He's honest
What he's actually doing is he
Cut the whole arm off and he's like
Holding the arm, it's bleeding all over his hands
And he's got the gun, he's like
Oh, I got it, yeah
He's fucking like
Sucking on the fingers
Fucking rubbing the blood all over his face
I finally got one guys
Like, oh my god, somebody send this guy home
Just call him a war hero and send him out
Yeah, so he's like, awesome
Puts the gun in his pocket, goes about his duties
Whatever
He has to cross over some barbed wire
I think it was just one little strand
He climbs over
And either the barbed wire did it or an angle did it
And the gun discharges
Into his leg
Right into the artery
The medic is at his side, couldn't save him
He bled out that quick
And so in the show
He's shown as like playing with
The gun and it goes off
That's not true, he's had it in his pocket
Or you can also find
Some accounts, mostly by the
Family, so I don't know if they're exactly
The most trustful, that it was his
Own gun that he had in his pocket
And it went off
But you could find both reports
So I'm gonna believe that he got the Luger
Because it's more ironic
He got it, had it in his pocket
Fucking bled out
Nazis still got him
Even after death
See that's why they should have won
Wait, no, no, no, no, no
Hot, hot
We'll cut that out
God damn
I got a good long one
How much time we got left
We're fine
How many more do I have
I have three
I have one, two
Three, four, five
Six
No, wait, I counted that one already
Five
I have five more
We'll be fine
So, Daniel John O'Brien in 1990
Was vacationing to Trinidad
His friend was traveling with him
Did he have a parakeet in his hat
In his hat, yeah
So his friend was traveling with him
And he woke up
To Daniel just throttling him
In bed, both hands, Tarantino style
Thumb on the Adam's apple
Now
His friend pushed him away
And up to this point
Like the last
Day or so, I think
Daniel had been talking
About like, I need my meds
I'm out of meds
And his friend was like
Sounds like a meth
Meds for what
And Daniel was like, it's nothing
It's nothing
Anti-psychotics
He hadn't had any medication
And as far as his friend
Was concerned, and as far as like
Everyone they interviewed was concerned
He didn't really have, he wasn't on meds
Or anything, and he's just
Uh, he's
Tripping out, he's like, I need my medicine
And they're like, what fucking medicine
Like, we would love to help you, but this has been going on
For a couple days
So, his friend is like, what the fuck
Pushes him off and he's like, okay, Daniel's tripping out
Daniel starts
Going into hysterics, and he's like
Oh my god, I killed him, oh fuck
I killed him, and he just starts taking his fucking
Clothes off, like
He's losing his
He's ripping his clothes off and shit
And just runs out of the house
His friend's like, what the
What the hell's going on
So, I don't know how
Far away they were, but
Daniel gets to
The airport in Trinidad
Naked? Naked
I'm guessing that they're like a couple blocks away
It's like one of those airport hotels
Their flight was supposed to be in a couple days or something
So, Daniel hops
Two fucking fences
And gets into the airport
Well, sorry
He gets to the air strip
Ah, strip
And
He fights off four fucking
Security guards, and he actually
Breaks one of their fucking necks
Like, this guy is going- It doesn't sound like he's
Missing his meds, it sounds like he's taking
PCP
I'm wondering if he got his hands on
Something and he was just like
Going fucking nuts
He got his hands on the wrong
Thing
He's on fucking monkey steroids
So, he snaps
This dude's neck
Fights off the other three security guards
And steals their car
And he just starts
Barreling across
The airport, like
Lawn and runways and shit
Just cruising
That's like me in Grand Theft Auto
Oh, 100% everyone's done it
In Grand Theft Auto, yeah
This is 1990, so he wasn't influenced
By Grand Theft Auto
Get the fuck out of here
So, watch, they're like, oh yeah
Grand Theft Auto came out in 1989
It was his favorite game
So
Yeah, he's just
Barreling across this lawn
And
I mean, he's got a lot of officers
In tow
It's a nice little police chase
Yeah, on the runway
And there's a plane
There's a 747
That's getting ready to take off
So they're firing up their engines
And you know where this is going, it's okay, I don't give a shit
So he drives up
And he hits
One of the engines
And he hits the car
Fucking decimates the car
But he still manages to go for like
Three or four hundred more feet
Yeah, because he's on PCP
He's on BatSols or something
He must have worn a seatbelt, that's my guess
Yeah, he probably wore a seatbelt
So, car stops, and at this point
The police have kind of, they've stopped
They're like, this dude's fucking dead
He'll tire himself out
We just watched this
Massive accident happen
Dude's dead
He opens the car door, he's got a huge
Cut in his shoulder
And he just gets like fucking
Like
Grease that's on the ground, like fucking engine grease
Rubbs it on his shoulder
So it's not bleeding all over
And he starts running back
Towards the plane
I thought you were going to say he's
Charging the cops
Well, I mean, the cops are on the other side of the plane
And he jumps over the cops
He starts running back
Towards the plane, mind you
It's like 300 feet away
And he just runs right in front
Of the fucking engine on the intake side
Shucks him inside
Just
Grinds the dude
Turns him into a human sausage
The pilot
Said that the intake of the other
Engine was covered in blood, it was red
Very red
I suppose blood is that color when oxygenated
By an engine rotating at thousands
Of revolutions per minute
Chunks of meat, entrails, teeth
Were jammed into every crevice
And a line of what looked like pale brown
Ribs were stuck in the side of the cowling
I jumped
Two eyes in a half
Of face stared lifelessly
From behind the inlet guide vein
This dude
Got fucked
Up, if you are wondering what happens
When someone goes through it
Like Janitor had to clean that shit up
100%, it was somebody that
Like, it's his first day and they're like
Okay, we're gonna break it to you easy
You're gonna clean up this guy's fucking entrails
You're gonna clean up a face
Here's a mop, here's a bucket
And here's like a shovel
Because these are the three things you're gonna need
Dude just got fucking
Here's a really long stick in case you need to beat the shit out of anything
It's a naked tirade
I love it
What the hell?
He had to have been on PC
He was either on something or he should have been on something pretty serious
Like
Yeah, the Chicago Tribune
Like
A week or so after it happened
They released a report
And it was like, oh yeah, he was suffering from delusions
And said he needed his medication
And it's like, yeah no shit dude
He thought he killed his friend
And then just like
Stripped down, what the fuck
And then he had grease on his wound
So he was like, self preservation
And then jumped into a turbine
And it wasn't like he was running past the turbine
He was running to it
Yeah, fantastic
Yeah dude, fuck
Now I've got
I did not get a lot of information on this guy
Because he kind of seemed like a dick
Sam Kinison
Have you ever heard of Sam Kinison?
He was on the
That show, one of those late night shows in 1985
Oh, okay
With Jimmy Carson
Something, I can't remember
He was a US comedian
He specialized in
At that time, what could be said
As risque comedy
He basically
He was a misogynist
He was an asshole
He would go on people's shows
And
Personally attack their past
What the fuck
I've never seen
He was like, I'm a dick
I'm a complete fucking asshole, but it's funny
It's a joke, it's just ironic
He's just fucking the Dane Cook of like 1985
Pretty much
And he had one bit that he
Would do a lot
Where he was like, this is very similar to
That 21 year old Nebraskan
He was like, this is bullshit that I can't drink and drive
I'm gonna drink
I'm gonna drive
Nothing you can do about it
I'm not hurting anybody
That fucking shit
He was on one of the late shows
The late night
I don't know, it's a show that's still going on
Today, I can't remember what it's called
But he made fun of that
Yeah, pretty much
And he made fun of that guy
For having a religious past
Like before he got into show business
And comedy and stuff
He was like, thinking about going to be a priest or something
Ha, nerd
Ha, nerd, so then he starts talking
Like talking shit on all that stuff
He was just a dick
Get a list, fucking guy, he used to love God
Yeah, that's exactly it
And you know
Us in season one
But he was very much
A
His life
He was making fun of other people when his life was in shambles
So was, still
So he moved to like LA
To follow his comedy career
And he basically got addicted to coke
It's the 80s
And alcoholism
Until his brother had to move into town
To be his manager to get him into shows
Okay, grand
So he basically just did really shitty
Like free open mic nights and shit before that
God damn
And he did eventually get like some
Fame
At the time period
You know, he is considered by some lists
As a impactful comedian
As what you might call
A comedian
Dick
So, six days after marrying
His new wife
They went five days in Hawaii
For a nice little honeymoon
On the sixth day they were driving
Around in LA
And they crashed the car
And she survived
He like
Got out of the car
Drunk as shit
Sat down on the side of the road
And starts talking to himself
And he's starting like
Why do I have to die? Like what?
Why am I dying?
And then he paused
And he was like really irritated
And he was like, okay
And then he calmed down, the cop showed up
EMS showed up
He was dead
The entire time he had been walking around and stuff
His spine was sheared
And he was bleeding massively into his abdomen
Something common in alcoholism
Is that the
The vein in your liver
Because your liver is
You know, dying
Essentially, I'm going to say this in a really simple way
So don't at me, dad
Basically, cirrhosis
You know, your liver is dying
The cells can't filter through as quick
So the blood kind of backs up
And in more extreme cases
Fluid leaks out of that vein
And you get a big old pot belly
So when it gets severed, it all just fucking
Pours out
You get in a car accident
That artery
That you already would have died in a couple of minutes
From having it sheared
At least a couple of minutes
You can just dump blood into your abdomen
And he died
Had a little near death experience and then just a death experience
Good. Fuck that guy
Don't drive drunk
Don't drive drunk and wear your fucking seatbelt
I found another
Another interesting guy
I like doing these
Not really big historically
And then someone who's pretty big historically
This guy, Kondraty
Ryleyev
Okay
He was born September 1795
1795?
That's not right
What the fuck
Wait, hold on
I gotta think about this
Maybe it's 1995
It's not 1995
I don't know
Oh, no, no, no, wait
No, that was right
I was thinking he was a different Russian guy
Yeah, this guy was born 1795
He was a poet
Bit of an intellectual
He was involved in a couple of revolts
Against the Tsarist monarchy
Rule of Russia
And in
1825
There was the Decembrist revolt
The idea was
There's this Austrian dude
We've got
At least 3,000 soldiers
Who
Are loyal to
I think it was the cousin
Of the Tsar at the time
Who was like
Who was a constitutionalist
Versus the monarchy guy
So they were like, let's get a constitutionalist government in place
Let's overthrow this guy
It's set up by the leaders that on this
Specific day
In 1825
We're gonna show up with 3,000 troops
Basically to
What?
The White Palace? The Red Palace? I don't remember what it's called
I think it's the Red Palace
That sounds way more Russian
Than the White Palace
So we're gonna march to it
And we know they have about 9,000 soldiers
The White Palace sounds like a mall in Alabama
Yeah, yeah, definitely does
Anywhere on that Bible Belt
So they march
And they know that they're gonna get reinforcements
From St. Petersburg
At least another 3,000
Okay
Day of the marching, people are showing up
This guy's one of them
He's higher up
But he's not the leader
The leader ends up
Hiding in an embassy, an Austrian embassy
The day of
The other half of the troops
Just don't show up
The other leaders have fled
From over there too
And there becomes
This kind of standoff
Where there's 9,000 troops
Versus the 3,000 troops
But they also don't necessarily want to
Massacre the 3,000 troops
Because there are a lot of civilians
And they're trying
To parlay between the two
Groups
The Tsarist side
Sends this
The hero of one of the Napoleonic
Things
He shows up, one of those 3,000 troops
Shoot him dead
And tensions are
Getting high
In fact, there's a group
Of dudes who have grenades
Who break into the palace
Successfully
There's nobody around
There are people in there
They're hidden away
They planned for this
You are not a Russian monarchy
Figure
Without having a backup plan
And a bunker somewhere
A bunker tunnel
A bunker tunnel, yeah, exactly
So
Eventually the Russians were like
They're starting to shoot a couple people
They broke in
Let's just launch artillery at them
And they do
They launch artillery at the square
Where the soldiers were thrown
People are just getting blown up
I mean this is cannonballs
Artillery, that's what I mean by artillery
But even then
No, it's brutal
They're being torn apart
It's not explosives really
It's just the brute force
Of a huge cannonball
Tearing through the crowd
And they're getting fucked up
A bunch of people flee
A bunch of people get arrested
And interrogated
And this guy was one of the guys who was
Who was arrested and interrogated
He was the only one
To not narc on anybody else
Only one
He also said
Essentially, don't punish anybody else
I will take all the punishment
You get the propaganda that you shut us down
Nobody else should be punished for this
That you cut off the snake of the head kind of thing
And they were like, no, no, no
We'll kill all of them, it's fine
So, you know, obviously
Sentenced to death
They were gonna draw and quarter him
But then the Saur was like
I don't want to draw and quarter him
And they said, okay, we'll hang him
And they're like, okay, that works
So there were five people to be hanged
And
You know, the executioner
It's been a long time since they've had a hanging
So they pull the little
Trapdoor
The little lever, trapdoor is open
And three of the five
The ropes snap
And they just land at the bottom
And they're like, run!
And at the time, the idea was
If the rope snaps during hanging
They should be granted reprieve
Of some sort
It was divine intervention
The problem is, those three dudes immediately
Started saying shit like, wow
The Russians can't even hang someone right
Wow, you can't even make a good rope in this country?
Wow, what do you do with this?
So the Saur was like
Fuck those guys
Hang them again
And they did and they all died
But I just love the balls
You know, they're like, we're free
Also, get it together
Fuck this stupid government
I wish that
All three of their ropes broke
Again
That would've been great
It backfires
Unkillable
They've got plot armor
Fucking amazing
So good
So, Ronald Long
Was working to install
Don Long?
Was working to install a TV satellite system
In Missouri in 2008
2008, getting a satellite?
Like a dish?
This is Missouri
That's new technology down there
He's struggling to get the right size hole
For the cable, he's trying to feed it through the wall
And then back out
Of the wall by the plug
Yeah, yeah, I understand that struggle
The cord is just way too small
You know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right? Everybody has that
Has that problem
So, he can't get the right
Size hole for this cable
Mind you, it's 2008, so this thing's
Probably like a fucking 12
Caged cable
You know what small cables were
Fiber optics didn't exist in Missouri
At this time period
And he doesn't have a drill on hand
So
When you drink
Because it's Missouri
He probably had a fucking hand drill
I was like, you had to drill the dishes
In to, they probably put sandbags
Over it
Fuck, I've seen that
I've seen that on people's houses with bricks
You use fucking nails
Like
No matter what he had, you could have used a fucking
Pen and just held it up to the wall
Hammer it, you get your right hole
Size, whatever
What the fuck? What a dipshit
That's what I'm getting already
Mind you, I don't know if he's trying to go through drywall
Or like wood paneling, I don't know
It's Missouri, so 50-50
Yeah, probably like sheet
Sheet metal, that wavy sheet metal
Yeah, the aluminum sheet metal
So
I would imagine if it is drywall
He doesn't want to just like punch a big asshole
Through the wall
Then he has to fix it
You can ask your son Kyle on Monster Energy Drinks to do that
It's fine
So, he's standing there looking at it
Hands on his hips like, what the fuck
How am I going to do this
And he suddenly gets a bright idea
He realizes he has something
That's going to make a hole in the wall
Just the right size, and he needs
And he's like, oh my god, it's in my bedroom
Runs down the hall
Grabs his.22 pistol out of his nightstand
And he hurries back
And he
Holds the gun up to the wall
Pop, first shot, perfect
Perfect
Fucking lined it up
Point blank, that's how you fix things in Missouri
Straight through
So, he takes it over to the other side
Fucking stupid
Again, holds it up to the wall, pop, second shot
Goes through, feeds through
Perfect, the only problem is
The bullet also
After going through the wall, went through
His wife's chest
And, yeah, no
Did he not think, oh, I wonder if there's humans
Inside this house
I'll get to that
So, yeah, shoots his wife in the chest
And she fucking
Drops
His son is like, oh, fuck
Runs over to the neighbor's house
And the neighbor is taking a shower
And fucking kicks the door down
I mean, it's probably a trailer part
Kicks the fucking door down
Goes in there and is like
I know you know how to do CPR
My mom's been shot
I need you to come do CPR on her
And the neighbor's like, oh, fuck, okay
Throws on the rope
Runs over, starts doing fucking CPR
Every push is a little bit of blood
Comes out of the hole
And I like to imagine that
Ron's still in there just like
Yeah, he's still just chasing the cords
He's trying to figure out DVR
Yeah
So, yeah
The ambulance shows up
And medics arrive
And everything
They pack her into the ambulance
And send her off
She dies on her way to the hospital
Unfortunately
However, they talk to Don
They say, what the fuck happened
And he was like, well, I knew where everyone was in the house
And we were all inside
And I wasn't accounting that anybody would be
In the line of the shot or I wouldn't have done it
What the fuck
I don't real
I don't know if Ron doesn't know that like
People have these two things attached to their hips
Where they can like move around and walk
I don't think he does
Not everyone has been struck by lightning three times
And paralyzed so they're stuck in place
Without a wheelchair
Apparently he thought his wife couldn't move
So
Like I said, she's pronounced fucking dead
At the hospital
And
The state of Missouri
Drops all charges
Because it was an accidental death
Are you shitting me
Yeah, dead serious
The dude who hit the drunk driving
Comedian
Was charged with involuntary manslaughter
And got a year
Probation and 300 community service hours
And he hit a guy
Who was drunk driving
Good old Don Long
A gun crime where
He probably shot the first time and said
Oh I can fit the cable through there
Ah damn I missed my bitch of a wife
Let's try it again
Hey wife, will you come here
He probably did it on purpose
Can you look at it with your heart
Put your heart up against this hole real quick
Make sure that it's big
So homeboy fucking walks
Homeboy killed his wife
Literally murdered his wife
The article I was reading was like
Generally the state would charge him with manslaughter
For some reason
I would usually go a little step further
If you're discharging a firearm
Within city limits
That's gotta be
Their neighbor is within running distance
This isn't the fucking Mississippi delta
So
Good old Don got away with
Third degree murder
Jesus Christ
I love Missouri
I know I fucking
Basically all of these come out of the shittiest part
Of the event
Speaking of
Mine actually is the complete opposite end of the spectrum
I'm talking about a Rockefeller
There were a couple stories about
Different Rockefellers
The English Rockefellers, the American Rockefellers
And
A lot of them
There was just no evidence for
Okay
And
But I'm glad I found one
That did have some evidence
And it's the best one
This guy was some shitty American politician
Nelson Rockefeller
He was the vice president in the 70s
Under Ford after Nixon said
I'm going out
Peace
After Nixon chose to stop being president
Exactly
And
Interestingly enough
He
Was in one of his town homes
One night
And he was there with one of his
Aids
You know politicians have aids
And
He
What ends up happening is he ends up
Having a heart attack
The aid calls a
Friend
It's unrelated to their story who happens to be a
Journalist
Okay
And she says what do I do
Like this guy's a politician
I mean he's old as shit
What do I do
About an hour
Probably it's estimated an hour after that call
Where
She actually says come over
They call 911
Okay
So he has a heart attack
They wait an hour and then call 911
They figure out what to do
They're serious they were actually getting rid of
Some evidence and some shit
Just cause every politician has dirt
I bet they were trying to get rid of it
They all have classified documents at home
If you're the president
Or close to the president
You have classified documents everywhere
It's just the standard
So
The aid's name was
Megan Marschak
And very quickly
The body was creamated
Not much of an autopsy done
It was a small funeral
Just family
Super quick, wasn't really in the news
Whatever
The problem with this
Aid is that he was alone with her
And she's 25 years old
And he just so happens to have a heart attack
And it takes an hour to clean up whatever
They were doing
Yeah they were fucking
That's the thing
She was probably paid off
Which is fantastic
She was his classified document
Yeah exactly
This dude I think he was in his 70s
Was screwing an aid
Jesus Christ
Had a heart attack
And the family covered it up because he's a Rockefeller
God damn it
I have one more
So if you want to
Two more
So let me do one more
And then I'll do the last one
So you want me to do two more
Because one's short
Dude named Jim Fix
James, well I don't remember his real name
He went by Jim Fix
Or James Fix
He was born in 1932
Bob the Builder
He was a best selling author
He's accredited for a lot
Of shit
He's a best selling author on
It's called The Complete Book of Running
He really popularized running and jogging
As like a hobby
In the US
That was the biggest thing, his largest contribution
Was this like, you don't need to go to the gym
Not that that was a big thing anyway
You just need to go to Jim Fix
Yeah, but like you can
Run for fun
Run for fun
He also, you know, the book and everything
That he did was very much like
Running is extremely healthy
Which that's true
Get fit for free
Be healthy, you will live longer
Your medical conditions even
They won't be cured but they'll be much easier to handle
Stuff like that
Like exercise
Is an extremely important part of life
Of living, continuing to live
And he
His big thing was like
Running will help me live
Till I'm 100 years old
Obviously it wasn't serious
But that was the piece that he repeated a lot
And he was pretty wealthy
You know, he made it big
He ended up
Also having a heart attack
At the age of 52
While he was running
Jesus Christ, god damn it Jim
Because, turns out
He did not take into consideration
Genetic predisposition
In the whole
Running is great thing
So he had a slightly enlarged heart
His father had a heart attack at 35
And died of a heart attack at 43
So that's probably the reason
He didn't die until he was 52
Was because he was so fit and healthy
You didn't help your case Jim
He had three occluded arteries in his heart
Oh my god
From running
The running killed him
Damn
Poor Jim, he did all he could
That was an ironic death
Interesting, unusual and ironic deaths
Now we gotta change the title
Son of a bitch
I'll dub us over saying that
Every time
It'll be Microsoft saying
An ironic
So my last one for tonight
Which
Forever
Hey, you know what
Welcome back
Hour 13, no we're doing great
For the first episode
I like it
Just like many people, I like it a little longer
I don't
Bogdanov
Okay
This dude was a Russian slash
Soviet doctor
Philosopher
He helped found the Bolshevik
Movement
He was also a sci-fi writer
He contributed
A lot to
Systems theory
Which has been Bogdanov
A lot by like
Large corporations nowadays
He did, he contributed a lot to it
He was also a direct
Rival to Lenin
To Vladimir Lenin
He was super involved, he eventually gets kicked out
Of the Bolsheviks because he's
A rival
And he starts his own kind of movement
Which is pretty much the same thing
All this stuff happens
He's a very influential dude
When in 1924
He started to focus
His life and energy on blood transfusions
The science behind blood transfusions
Which is awesome, like a lot of what we know
About blood transfusions
Started with this guy
And his whole
Thought process was
Blood transfusions will reverse
The aging process, or at least
Stop the aging process
A lot of people in the early days had that
Idea
His entire thought that death was just
Your blood wearing out
Which to a point, he wasn't entirely
Wrong, when you get old
Your body does start making more mistakes
When it's replicating its cells
He's not 100% wrong, blood transfusions
Do have some evidence
In
Helping prolong life a little bit
Especially if you are at an advanced
State of aging where
You can't create enough blood cells
It just makes sense, you know
You don't have enough, you get more, it helps
New blood, new blood, new me
Exactly, that's what
One testicle bike rider guy said
Len's Armstrong
The other, the nickname
You had was way better
Yeah, I think so
So he started
One of his first big
Experiment was I'm going to take
11 people's blood
Transfuse it all into me and see
What happens
One of those 11 people, super cool, was actually Lenin's
Sister
Which I thought that was cool
But yeah, like
They, he takes a little
Middle finger to Lenin, I did it
And they take all this blood
Infuse it into him
And his partner wrote about it
And he wrote about the results
And he's like, I'm not balding anymore
I feel great, I feel
10 years younger, the other guy said he looks
10 years, he said 4, 6
No, 10 years younger
And like
His vision improved
And all this shit was happening
Because of this huge blood transfusion
Which at the very least, especially if you
Are maybe a little
Anemic before
You would feel awesome after
You'd feel very energetic, which could
Make your vision feel
Like it's better, if you're more energetic
More awake, more energy
You know, that kind of thing
But he, so he continues
To experiment, that's his like
Oh, maybe I'm onto something here
He continues to experiment, he continues to
Inject himself with blood
All this stuff
When he writes
He sends off a letter
That's very political, very
Not
Not very pleasant
To the current ruling
Class
And he injects himself with a student's
Blood, who just so happens to have
Malaria and tuberculosis
Bro
And they did not have the same blood type
Not that they even knew really
That that was a thing
Like the fact that he made it this far without having a massive transfusion
Reaction is crazy
Like, learning about
Transfusion reactions, even if you have
The right type
Even if you have the right, like
You've verified everything, you can still
Get a fever from it, like you can still
Have transfusion reactions
That are not related to that
And the fact that he made it this far, like
It's impressive, good for him
Maybe he did have some reactions, but either he hit it
Or
I'm sure he had plenty, but it was nothing that he was
Like, more than
Likely he's just holding on
To the fact that I have to show
That this is a good thing
So he dies very quickly from malaria and tuberculosis
Of course
And that's his life
Grand, I love it
I really, like
I love it because it's the early days
Of that experimenting with the medical field
It's like, oh you're getting old?
It's because your blood is old
It's because your blood is actually running out
Get you some new blood in there, mister
Goodness gracious
That's all I got for today
It's on you
Last one's a doozy
People have probably heard about it
It happened June 2022
What?
It happened in June 2022
So if you've read about it
I don't give a fuck
So, Maya Mermu
Hold on, say that again
Maya Mermu
She
It starts off kind of
Dumpy
She allegedly worked with and helped
A few elephant poachers in her
Area in India a couple of times
Pretty shitty
Pretty shitty person, would like to see her go
Would hate to see her
Hate to see her stay
June 2022, she went out for water
At a well near her home
Little local well
Just another fucking day, right?
Goes out
Fills up their bucket of water
Taking it back home
And there's a bunch of shit going on down the road
And there's
An elephant, like
Not necessarily a stampede
But there are elephants in the village
Just fucking chasing people
Around, tormenting these people
In all the chaos
She kind of gets like confused
And she gets trampled
By these elephants
So far one for the elephants, good job
Fuck yeah, like got her back
So
They
Like, they get her body
Ready and everything for her little funeral
After a couple of days
And set
Everything up, they're doing a little service
In the village for her
Everyone's like, oh my god
Poor fucking Maya
But over on the tree line
There are like
Four elephants just standing in the trees
Like fucking looking at them
Like predator
And one of the elephants comes out and like chases this kid
There is a fucking video
Of part of this event
You can hear mourners in the background
Of this video at the funeral
So
Elephants are like
Everything is at bay, you know
Like, they're getting ready
For the attack
And yeah
They're about to light the fucking funeral
Pyr, they're getting ready to
And all of a sudden the elephants just
Are fucking charging this funeral
And everyone scatters
They're like, oh shit
Somebody sees the elephant that
Trampled Maya
Run up to
I can't make this shit up
And ends up to fucking where her body is
Fucking gives her the old
One two punch-a-roo
Stomps her a couple times
Wraps its trunk around her body
And throws her
Up into the air
Hell yeah
So even in death
This fucking elephant is like
Fuck you bitch
Dude, elephants are smart as hell
That's why I believe every bit of this story
It gets a little bit more fucking preposterous
So
Maya goes flying and everything
Everyone's just
In shambles trying to figure out
What the fuck they're gonna do
Like we can't bury her
They're gonna come back and get her
And they're just gonna shit on the grave
Or something
They're gonna send lightning to the grave
This is why even after she died
What killed her still came back after
Just like the lightning
Just like the lightning
Story's not over
Everything kind of settles down
The elephants go back into the trees
Just to wait
Wait for the right time to strike
And
Maya's husband decides
Maybe we should just cremate her
We'll cremate her, we'll toss it all in the wind
Elephants will fuck off
So they get a handful of people together
Hop into the one dude's truck
The one guy that owns a truck
Drive her over to the crematorium
While they're gone
The elephants come over
They destroy
Maya's old house
And three other homes
In this village
Absolutely destroy shit
Like bust down holes
There are pictures of it
It's fucking crazy
Rampage
It turns out
Now mind you this could
This part
But people are like we're pretty sure
That Maya helped poach
That elephant's kids
And that's why it had a vendetta
Out for this lady
I believe all of it
Yeah, 100%
I do
The way I found it I was scrolling through like different
Articles and shit
And I found this one and it's like
A woman gets trampled by elephant
And then her body
Is desecrated at her funeral
By the same elephant
I was like bro what the fuck
What a badass elephant
Hell yeah
Dude elephants are so fucking smart
So don't poach elephants
Wear your seatbelts
And don't drunk drive
And if you're going to get a blood transfusion
Just make sure that they didn't have
Malaria
Tuberculosis or whatever
And if you're going to do a lecture
On death do not put yourself
In a position where you can choke
Jesus Christ
Alright man well you got a
Patreon pulled up
Oh yes of course let's see
I say yes but
So as we said
At the start of the episode if you would like some
Additional content we do
An extra episode a month usually the last
Day of the month it's just who we are
Usually
I mean depending on your time zone it's the first day of the month
Who knows it's up to you to decide
It's based on our time zone
But we've got
What six new episodes
Yeah I think it's six new episodes
We got a back catalog of a couple
Of good stuff AJ's done his
Voices I'm working on one right now
I'm editing it it's just taking a long
Ass time oh you talked about it we were going
To talk about this at the start of the show
You got access to a major
Like Jewish archive
Oh yeah yeah so United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum
They have a huge archive of
Oral interviews
Videos pictures
You know just a bunch of content and basically
I submitted an application
To get access
As a researcher
To that archive
And they got back to me after the holidays
And were like hell yeah
Come on here you go and they sent me like twelve
Audio files
Because the biggest problem is you can't just download it off the website
I mean you can
Using browser extensions
But it's not great quality
And you know it's not fair to them
I'm not supporting them yeah
So being able to do it legit
Also gives me a lot more information about
The origin of the file
And a lot more information in about that
Stuff and I can use the stuff that they've
Used for like
They had a show
Slash have a show
I don't remember
What it's called but
Where they had like
It's kind of like a talk show but they would
Bring on a survivor
And talk to them and ask questions and stuff like that
That's the one that I'm cutting down right now
It's
That interview but I'm cutting out the audience
I'm cutting out the interview or I'm cutting out the questions
I'm trying to kind of frame it as a story
It's also an hour and a half long
So it's like
For every minute of audio editing
That I do in this there's like
40 minutes that I've had to listen to
Through and cut off
I would say more like every 10 minutes
It's fair
So it just takes a long time
But it's awesome I got a lot of stuff
That I'm going to be working on just when I can
I mean obviously I'm in school still
But he's already got that voices
Like a couple episodes up for that
We also have sloppy seconds on there
Yeah just random shit
Some good shit on there
By all means if you would like to support us
Hop on there but
If you already do
Fantastic thank you so much
Of course we've got the board it's a thankless job
Except when we thank you every week
But yeah
It's a thankless job between the seasons
Yeah definitely
And when I accidentally upload an episode
Of a podcast without audio somehow
I don't know
I still don't know how that happened I was so pissed
But to the board
Thank you the chair people
Mini D, Nordic Thunder
