Speaker 1 (00:08):
Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jenny and Maria qk.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Hi. Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. Let's get started
with the story of the day. So this woman went
on TikTok and posted that she had gone to the
NT because she thought she was having some hearing laws
and she said she had a good ear and a
bad ear. So basically the doctor went into her quote
good ear and pulled out this giant black mass of earwax,

(00:42):
which is so disgusting to think about the visual of that.
And then even worse, he goes in her quote bad ear,
pulls out another giant ball of wax, and beneath it
found something really shocking. Yeah, in the wax. Intermixed with
the wax was a giant clump of dog hair ew. Well, listen,

(01:03):
the whole point of the wax is to prevent things
from getting into your ear and damaging your ear drum. Right,
So it worked. It worked. That's what it's supposed to do.
It's supposed to trap bacteria and dirt and debris like bugs.
You know, we've talked about cases of that, and in
this case dog hare, your body doing what it's supposed

(01:25):
to do. How is it underneath of it. That's what
I'm confused about. Well, a lot of times I think
that most anti doctors will agree that Q tips are
probably the worst thing ever for people's ears, because when
you're trying to clean them out, you could actually push
whatever's in there deeper and deeper into it. And you

(01:47):
should always have a coating of ear wax in your ear,
so it just gets deeper embedded into it. So how
do you clean your ear? Then if you can't use
a Q tip, they have special tools that you're supposed
to use, because the if you tip fills up the
whole ear canal and it just kind of you know
what I mean, like it could push it in deeper.
And actually you were saying that she went to the

(02:07):
doctor because of hearing loss, and that's the number one
cause of hearing loss is because of impacted earwax. So
when you go to the doctor normally for hearing issues,
do they always check that first? I'm sure they do.
I wouldn't see why they would. I mean, obviously they're
going to look in the inner ear canal and they're
going to say not the inner ear canal. They're just

(02:28):
going to look in the ear canal to see what
they could see and see if there's any wax. Obviously
that would be the first thing that they could easily handle.
But there's I do see some tool that's that is,
I see advertisements for that takes ear wax out. I
don't know if that's legit or whatever. But are you
talking about that candle people use or no? Not a tool?

(02:53):
Some people swear by that, but I think that that
yant doctors also advise against that. You know what's really interesting?
So I still currently clean two children's ears, right, yeah,
and I hope and one of them, yes, I stopped
doing yours since you're turning thirty. I was like, maybe
I should stop cleaning your ears. But one of my

(03:15):
kids has a very light, pale yellow ear wax and
there's not that much of it. And then the other
kid has earwax that's almost a dark red brown and
there's lots of it all the time, And she borrowed
one of the other kid's uh earpod things and got
that wax on it, and now the other one's like
so skimed out and doesn't want to use the ear

(03:36):
pods anymore. I did see a YouTube video once though,
that people take EarPods and they squirt hot glue on
it and let it dry, and then when you pull
off the hot glue, it like pulls all the wax
off of the the earbud. I don't know if I'm
willing to try it, because what if it ruins it,
you know, because they're kind of expensive. Yeah, they're really expensive,

(03:58):
but I mean in the video it looks like it works.
I don't know. I do agree that, you know, it's
something totally natural in the body, but it is kind
of like skivach when you get somebody else's earbuds and
you're like, can you just at least wipe them so
I don't see it? You know, well, you you shouldn't
be using other people's earbuds though I know their kids

(04:19):
or whatever. But I mean I wouldn't use like my
friends and we're talking about my husband. Are you gonna
share tampons with someone? Like? Where do you draw theft?
It's not really extreme. You're sticking it in a hole
in your body, Like why would you share it with somebody?
Because if we were on an airplane together and I
had like an extra set and you needed them, and
it's not the same as sharing a tampon that was

(04:41):
inside of your body. Like, what are you even talking about.
It's a hole that you're putting something plastic in. That's
all I'm saying. Okay, celebrity news that is dramatic, Okay.
In twenty twelve, Kathy Bates was diagnosed with stage two
breast cancer and had a double mistectomy at at time.
So now over ten years later, she's saying she's happy
that she did reconstructive surgery because her breasts were so

(05:03):
heavy and it's just a relief to not have boobs anymore. Yeah,
there's a part of me that always wonders if I
was faced with having to get the surgery done, what
I would do. Because when you're diagnosed with cancer and
you find out that you have to get a double misseectomy,
so that's a complete removal of both breasts and usually
nipples too sometimes, especially when you're older. That's just a

(05:24):
lot to go through in general. But then after if
you want to have reconstructive surgery, so sometimes they need
to put in these things that they put in before
the breast implants, called tissue expanders, which they stick underneath
of your skin because once they do the surgery, you
have a very flat chest, and sometimes you need to
stretch the skin out in order to put implants underneath

(05:47):
of it, so it could be multiple procedures. And then
sometimes women choose to get nipple tattoos so it looks
more realistic. And it's just a lot to go through.
And I could understand if you're older and you just
don't really care that you don't want to go through
all that extra stuff, not to mention that you could
have complications. Obviously, the more surgeries you get in stuff,

(06:09):
you could have complications. So I mean she said when
they got removed that they were ten pounds. Is that
the average? What's the average weight of breasts? I don't
know for pounds, and you can't really say because it's funny,
well wet when we weigh breast, it's just a weird
thing because normally in pathology we only weigh organs that
have normal weights. So the heart, the lungs, the liver

(06:32):
that they they vary between people based upon their weight
and their sex obviously, but there's a range where it's
a normal weight or it's not a normal weight, right,
But with breast, there's no real normal weight, Like who
who's to say what normal breast size is, and it's
just not they it could range, you know what I mean.
So I get it's not ten pounds is a lot,

(06:54):
but there's heavier ones and there's less ones. Like I
guess you're just so used to having them on your
body that you don't even associate a weight to them
in some regard. Like I feel like women with big
breast dude, because they I mean, have you ever seen
someone that has really big breast that they get these
indentations in their shoulders from their bras And that's why

(07:15):
women get breast production surgery because they seriously get back
problems from it. Yeah, I mean, I don't even think
my boobs are that big, but like my back hurts
all so like I can't imagine having like is it
your upper back that hurts? Yeah, like around where the
back of my bra strap is. Well, it could be
those giant knockers you got carrying for real. I don't know.

(07:37):
I don't I don't particularly think my boobs are that big,
but like I think I'm pretty advertized, but I don't know.
So anyway, she's working on her last TV show. She said,
after this show's done, she's gonna be retiring. The show
is called Mattlock, and she said that for one of
the scenes they had made this like makeshift camisol with
fake cubs in it to give her the illusion she

(07:58):
had breast I don't even think I realized that she
did it from looking at photos. I think she's an
extremely well dressed person. She always like books very good
and her clothes are very fitting. I don't think it
was super obvious that she'd never had the reconstructive surgery. Yeah.
I mean they saw awesome prosthetics and stuff, and lots
of women, I mean, she's it's cool that she's speaking out,

(08:19):
but lots of women choose not to do that. Yeah.
I mean her journey with cancer is kind of crazy.
I read that in two thousand and three she had
originally been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and then it ran
in her family. She had her aunt died from it,
her mother had it, her niece also had it. So yeah,
so she must be BRAKA positive. And this is the
same thing that happened in Angelina Jolie's family as well. Yeah,

(08:42):
so she had So she had the ovarian cancer and
then found out she had the breast cancer right afterwards.
Or years later. Oh okay, So normally, if you test
for that gene, they would advise you to just get
the double mess ectomy done because there's a high probability
of you developing cancer. But maybe she didn't have that

(09:03):
testing Domlin, she was originally diagnosed with the ovarian cancer,
or maybe she decided against it. Yeah, who knows. But
I think this is a very interesting point of view
because I feel like most women definitely go for the
reconstructive surgery. Let's move on to some celebrity hygiene story.
So this has been a controversial topic in the last
couple of years. But Chelsea Handler went on her podcast.

(09:26):
She had Kevin Hart on her show, and the topic
of hygiene came up, and she basically talked about how
she has hot spots that she washes in the showers.
She only focuses on her armpits or vagina butt in
her head and she said everything is fine after that.
I'm the same as ach Way. This is maybe the
first time I agree with her. I feel like she's

(09:47):
she's generally like generally a pretty annoying person. But I'm
the same as ach Way, like it's kind of a
torso head, except I do my face as well. But yeah,
I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but apparently
people are freaking out, including Kevin Hart was freaking out
about it, right, Yeah, he was freaking out about it.

(10:09):
And then she was saying that she definitely didn't wash
your legs because they're covered all day and they don't
get dirty, so what you want to. And I remember
that Taylor Swift a couple of years ago had said
that she equated using shaving cream on her legs as
being soap. And I think that's the only thing I've
ever truly connected with her own because I do the
same thing. Like, well, were people arguing about that, Yeah,

(10:30):
they were saying, that's not really washing your legs. And
I remember a conversation we had in the house with
Gabe because he thought we were so unbelievable for not
washing our legs and our feet. And I'm like, the
soap runs to the bottles, why, yeah, exactly, you're and
it doesn't always fully go down the drain, so you're
kind of low grades standing in this layer of soap

(10:51):
as well. I just don't. I don't. I'm like, and
didn't this happen with Ashton Kutcher and stuff with the
they don't wash their kids unless they're visible dirty. I'm
kind of the same exact way, like I just I'm
I'm a huge fan of the natural immunity that you
have on your skin from the bacteria and everything, as
well as your skin over drying, and especially in my family,

(11:14):
that definitely can happen. More so, you're actually wiping the
oils off of your skin every time. I personally think
that this is just social and this has nothing to
do with health whatsoever. I don't know. I do find
it interesting, Like I don't know, I don't think I've
ever once watched my legs or my feet. You know.

(11:36):
It's like I heard somebody saying that they wash your back, Like,
how are you washing your back? Well, people have that
stick with the brush on it, like my husband. Actually
I've known people do. I Mean. The thing is is
that when when you're talking about Tayler Swift shaving her legs,
when you shave, you're exfoliating a top layer of skin off,

(11:56):
taking the dead's cells off and everything which were would
where all the soiled dirt that people think you should
wash off should be and shave. Why is shaving cream
not soap, Like what's the difference, Like, it's just people
are are This is one hundred percent of social issue,
there's I mean, in our modern times, we have bathrooms.

(12:17):
A couple in our house with a couple showers most
of the time, but that's only very recent in the
history of being a human right. And it's just like
the only reason people say they do every day or
do every day is because they don't want to get judged.
It's not because it's actually necessary. I mean, some people
think it's ridiculous to not bathe every single day. I
mean I just don't find that necessary at all. I

(12:37):
actually really just don't enjoy taking a shack, so I
don't know. I always think if I was a dude,
I wouldn't mind taking a shower as much because it's just, yeah,
it's just like the hair and the makeup and everything,
like if you always look the same, it's just very
easy to jump in and jump out. Maybe, but also
you don't have to worry about shaving your face, which

(12:57):
is something I would not want to do. And their
hair cots are high maintenance, like every two weeks or whatever,
so well, like I wouldn't want to deal with that either.
I understand why my husband wants to take a shower
every day because he's a barber and he has little
hairs all over him all the time. So I understand
wanting to take a shower every day for that, But
like most of the time, I'm sitting in my house

(13:18):
or your house, and I don't exercise. Please, I'm not
really ever shedding blame. I'm not ever sweating, So I
don't see the point you're we're trying to tell people, like,
don't take a shower every day, take our health advice,
but exercise please, don't shit. Shit is overrated, all right,

(13:39):
all right? Freak accidents. On Sunday, this family had reported
their loved one, who was a thirty nine year old
man missing after he didn't come home on that Friday night.
So he had a history of drug abuse and they
were really worried. So I guess this guy had prior
drug charges and he was wearing an ankle monitor. So
when the family contact the police, they went to go

(14:00):
check the location of the monitor and they saw the
last reported location of it was at this planet Fitness.
So they go to this planet Fitness. Mind, dude, this
is Monday. The last time this family saw him was
on Friday. So they get to the Planet Fitness and
they're looking around and they found him dead in a
tanning bed. I have no idea how this happened now

(14:22):
because they're open every day of the week. Correct, Yeah,
I had a bunch of questions about it, right, Like
did other people go into tanning salon and just this
tanny slom part of the gym and just think that
the bed was occupied? I guess because they're open twenty
four to seven. They don't do like closing checks. When
I was working at the bar, you know, we would
close up at the end of the night. We'd go

(14:44):
through the bar and check all the bathrooms in the
kitchen and everything. So if you go, but if you
go to Planet Fitness, you don't have to like book
the tanning bed. You could just use them whenever. The Also,
who the fuck U is this tanning bed? Still? It's
two thousand and twenty four, They're like, seriously, increase your
risk of melanoma seventy five percent more than just being

(15:06):
in the sun. Who I want to know who actually
uses them? Still? One time, I can't even believe they exist.
One time I went to Planet fitness like five years ago,
and I used the stand up tanning machine for less
than a minute, And why what did that do for you?
I don't know, it just did it? So it did? What? Like?

(15:27):
What did it do in a minute? Just I read
and I'm just trying it out. Yeah, I didn't like it.
That's a special kind of photo light therapy. You need
to get it from a dermatologist. I knew that after
you got yours done, so I didn't know that at
the time because I was an idiot. Anyway, when I
went there with my friend, we had to go to

(15:48):
the desk and they have to set the timer on.
It was the stand up one though, so not the
lay I've never been in a lay down one. So
when you go into little room one, they had to
set the timer behind the desk. But I guess nobody
came back to check that we weren't in it still.
They just said how long it ran before? But there's
no I mean, come on, think about this. This is

(16:11):
this is over a course of a couple of day period.
When people are using the tanning beds at that place.
There's no one that goes in at least once a
day to clean them. Yeah, well that person laying in
those things. So Planet Fitness has spray bottles of some
cleaner all over the gym, and I don't know if
it's you know, you're expected to wipe down your own
gym equipment, but i'd also hope that, because you know,

(16:34):
not everybody's doing that, that the employees will also make
rowns every couple hours and wipe stuff down. Yeah. I
just that's something you would assume, is that they wipe
down the gym equipment every night, and they do the
tanning beds as well. So clearly they're not because they
would have noticed that there was a dead guy in there,
and at this point, being in doors for three or

(16:55):
four days, it probably started to smell in there at
some point. Yeah, but I don't like this was my
under at first. My understanding was that the employees found
him and called the cops, and it doesn't seem like
they had any idea that it happened. Like the cops
found him only because his ankle monitor registered as being there.
And as far as how he died, I read that

(17:18):
there was a needle next to him, and he did
have a history of drug abuse, So there is this
suspicion that he overdosed in there. But yeah, the tanning
bed might not have anything to do with it. It's
just more of the like it's reminding me of that
woman found at Wells Fargo all over again. Yeah, right,
like you die on a Friday and nobody finds you

(17:38):
till Monday or Tuesday. Like, no, the Wells Fargo wants
more understandable because if because nobody was in the office
that she was working at, right, this is like people
were going there every day, working out, doing whatever. The
worst part of this for me is they said they
posted a little sign on the tanning salon portion of

(17:59):
the gym said it was unavailable on the day. I'm like,
you couldn't even close the whole gym. Yeah, I mean,
and I would imagine that it might have started to
smell a little bit too. They'll do an autopsy to
see what his cause of death was. I don't I
just I don't really think the tanning bed necessarily had
anything to do with it, But I did find it interesting.

(18:19):
I want to say, at least ten people emailed us
this story. Really yeah, and like I guess as soon
as it broke, I was like, oh, we have submissions
to shocking stories. Oh nos, everybody sending these. So we
like when you guys send us stories because sometimes we
don't see crazy stuff like this, and I just dis
blows my mind. Yeah, okay, true crime. Let's talk about

(18:42):
this hit and wash. So on October thirtieth, police got
a call that there was an unconscious male who appeared
to be hit by a car in the parking lot
of a car wash. So they got there and found
that the victim was dead, but there was no suspect
in sight. Apparently this twenty one year old guy struck
the guy hit him with his car, started freaking out

(19:03):
and then went through the car wash and washed his
car and then fled the seat. Oh my god. I mean,
it is kind of can being it like, if you're
going to do something like that that you're at a
car wash, it just can hide the evidence very easily, right,
It just is what do you what are you doing?
And you're just being a bad person doing something like that.

(19:23):
A witness found the guy on the ground and saw
the suspect nearby and asked if he knew what happened,
and he said he didn't know anything that happened, and
then of course they figured out very quickly it was him. Later, Yeah,
the guy was he had an illegal driver's license and
illegal ID. So maybe it was just getting caught, of course, Yeah,

(19:46):
that must be the theory. But it's just it's it's
just really messed up to even do that, you know
what I mean. Just I don't know because thankfully I've
never been in that situation, and I don't ever want
to be in that situation. But I feel like, as
a driver, that must be one of the most upsetting
things that could happen to you ever, And all of

(20:07):
these different emotions come over and your fight or flight
and all this stuff, and it's just like, what do
you do in that situation when you think you've just
hit or seriously injured or killed a person. Hopefully your
instinct is to help them and try to make sure
that they're okay. But you hear stories all the time
of people just leaving the scene like it's nothing. It's

(20:28):
just I hear it all the time. Unfortunately. Well, I
think if you hit a person and it's genuinely an
accident and you are, you know, getting out of your
car and trying to help them, the likelihood of you
getting in trouble, for it is very slim, whereas when
you hit somebody and then try to wash the evidence
off of your car and then leave the scene, you're
immediately guilty. Yeah. I don't know, Like I always think,

(20:52):
my first instinct would just be I wouldn't even care
about myself getting in trouble, like that's just how I am.
I would I feel like I would just want it,
attend to them and make sure they were okay. It
would just scare me so bad. Yeah, And when they
looked at his car, they said it the damage was
consistent with hitting a person. So you're not getting out
of that one, all right. This one is so unbelievably scary.

(21:16):
I don't know if you feel the same way. It
just really bothers me so much. So. This ninety three
year old woman and her family were constantly hearing noises
from underneath of their house. At first, they assumed that
it was just animals under there. They didn't think too
much of it. The crawl space ran pretty much the
entire length of the house, so I'm assuming that they
had issues with you know, probably raccoons or some type

(21:38):
of rodents or other animals getting stuck under there in
the past. So one day one of the family members
is walking around the house and they're hearing this really
consistent knocking sound, almost like it was following their footsteps,
and they were like, something is just really not right,
and they called the cops. So the cops get there
and they look under the cross space and sure enough,

(21:59):
there's any man living underneath it there. Yeah, just sure,
just like a naked dude living underneath your house? Right?
Did they ever figure out why? After they were able
to get him out? So they they put they tried
to get him out all these different ways and he
wouldn't come out, and then finally they put off tear
gas to get him out of the house and for

(22:19):
under the house, and that's what made him finally come out. Well,
first they tried to get him out with dogs and
he just was like not faced at all by the dogs,
and then they had to do a couple rounds of
tear gas. He wasn't even coming out at first with
the tearyats, So they wonder if he was like high
on something obviously, right did they say what? Did they
interview him and be like, what's happening here? I mean, clearly,

(22:42):
maybe he doesn't have anywhere to live. But yeah, I
mean they were saying that why was he naked? Yeah,
they were saying that sometimes people do take shelter in
crawl spaces. But I don't know what was going on
in this case. Why was he naked? Why if he
really needed to live under there and were trying to
do it secretly, why was he like knocking and making

(23:04):
all this noise so that the family heard him. I mean,
he was only twenty seven years old, so it's like, what,
just what are you doing? And to think that you're
just in your house, walking around, minding your business and
somebody's like living underneath and this hidden compartment is so
scary to think of, my god. So I don't know.
And then because they had the tear gas and so
many times, it started causing this huge commotion in the

(23:26):
neighborhood and then everyone was freaking out, and because of
the tear gas, the family had to go stay in
a hotel while they had this all sorted out. That
shit's terrible. Have you ever been in a situation where
it was like sprayed outside? No? I have. There's been
like one or two times in my life that just
being at somewhere and it gets sprayed far far away

(23:47):
from where I was. It was never anything that I
was actually involved in, and it just travels in it,
you know, if the air is blowing and stuff, and
it makes you your eyes start tearing, but also it
just burns the inside of your nose and your throat
and it's I mean, I can't even imagine it's it's mace.
It's the same thing. It's mace, you know, It's I

(24:07):
can't imagine getting sprayed directly with it in the face.
It could really cause blindness and just crazy different side effects.
If you have an underlying respiratory issue you can have
you can die in theory from it. I mean, it's
not it's considered non lethal way of you know, getting
someone to stop whatever they're doing, but it can be

(24:29):
really severe. And that one time I remember being exposed
to it. It was like you had a concert or
something when I was a kid, but I just remember
like not being able to like my face just felt
like it was on fire, you know what I mean.
And I was so far away from it. It was nuts. Yeah,
I mean, I can't imagine the thought that they had

(24:49):
to do this multiple times and it wasn't working because
they're just like, you know, that's the space was only
two feet high. It ran under the whole house. That's
that's an extremely awkward position to try to get somebody
out of, right, So it was like, what are you
going to do? What was he doing under there? Just
like did he have a phone? Did he have like

(25:10):
a TV setup? A blanket? Like what do you do
under there? Yeah? But he's a human, Like it's just
it's just nuts to think that someone's just sitting in
a space like that. I mean, I want to know more.
Was he having mental health issues? Was he having drug issues? Well?
I would assume he's having mental health issues because I
don't think a normal person would do something like this.

(25:33):
But I don't know. They said there was three entry
points to get under there. So now the family has
made all the efforts to secure the space, so hopefully
nothing like this happens to them. Where did this happen
in the country? Uh, I don't remember. No, it happened
in southern California. So the weather's nice all the time.
The weather's nice. I don't know. This is I can't

(25:56):
imagine anything more terrifying to me. Just I don't I
don't like these stories we cover sometimes of people living
like in your attic or underneath your house or I
don't know. It just really bothers me a lot. Yeah, Okay,
let's get onto this next one, which has become this
outrageous developing story all week. So back in August, this
husband and father of three was reported missing after he

(26:18):
went kayaking on this Wisconsin lake. Apparently the day of
his disappearance, he had texted his wife and said that
he was on his way back, and when he never arrived,
she called police, and then police searched the area and
they found his kayak overturned with his life fest and
they later found all of his fishing supplies somewhere else.
So for fifty four days they were looking for this

(26:39):
guy with sonar and with cadaver dogs and using all
these research resources to try to find him, and they
just assumed he drowned because they weren't able to find
him anywhere. But in October they got a tip that
law enforcement in Canada had looked into him two days
after he was reported missing, and that he had fled

(27:01):
to another country because he had a mistress overseas and
use Beekistan and use Bekistan. So this guy has faked
his death to be with this woman. I understand that.
I mean, I don't understand it. Do you understand it?
I understand the story. What I don't understand is I'm
just trying to figure out how I could do that

(27:22):
for myself. So I'm just trying to figure out, like
how Holly went about that. How do you fly because
you have to fly to use Bekistan? Right, how do
you fly out of the country without a record of it.
You're saying he went up to Canada, so what like
where how'd he get up there? It looked like what
happened is that he had been planning this for some time.

(27:45):
So he had reported that his passport was missing and
then got two. So I think he was using the
invalid one, which I don't know how that works, but
he was doing something with the passport where he was
using an older one so the newer one would have ping.
And then I think he just worked so quickly, but
that by the time he was in the system as

(28:05):
a missing person, they weren't even able to piece it together.
So he was say, you would get to the airport,
that's that's your idea, and they scan it and everything, right,
they just wouldn't have history like that. Name wouldn't come
up as someone that had taken a flight I don't know,
and how to get to the airport. I mean, they're

(28:26):
looking right now to see if he was working with
another person to try to get him there, because obviously
it seems suspicious, right, but Wisconsin, I don't know how
far this lake was from the Canadian border, but he
might have just been able to rent a car. Well,
I don't know if he could rent a car, which
is maybe why they think he was working with another person,
But somehow he was able to easily get over to

(28:48):
the Canadian border very shortly and then fly out of
the country. Yeah, I understand that. I just don't even
in Canada like they don't have I feel like if
I go there with my past that says Nicole and
Jemmy in my picture and they scan it, they don't
have record that I'm flying from here to this country.
Maybe if they like they have to watch lists that

(29:11):
it doesn't come up, but then what's the point of
even checking. I don't know what goes on in the
records over there. I'm just saying I just feel like
that's the whole reason that they're doing it so they
could figure out every single person that's on the plane
and have an account of them. And that's why they're
so hardcore about having the proper ID and all this stuff, right,
I mean, and Canada is I feel like they have

(29:33):
the same kind of rules as we do. Unless somehow
he made a completely fake name. I don't know, but
basically they didn't know for a couple months that this
had happened. But in the meantime, before they found out
this information about him being in Canada, they also saw
suspicious activities such as him clearing his browsing history, he

(29:54):
was moving his funds to foreign banks. He got a
life insurance policy for the wife, which could be nice.
That was nice, he's so sweet. I observed another podcast,
make it like make a joke that at least, you know,
a lot of times in these cases, the husband will
just kill their wife to be with the mistress. So
at least he faked the death as a very soberate

(30:15):
and then what overseas Yeah, but she so now she's
not even gonna get the money obviously, because he's not dead. Yeah,
I don't know how that works if somebody's missing and
they don't have a body, like if there's a time
period that has to lapse, or if they presumed him
dead and she got it already, I mean they he's
gonna have to pay it back, Like why would the
insurance company take a loss for that? That's not They're

(30:38):
gonna be like, I want my one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars back, and it's not her fault. They determined
that she had nothing to do with it. This guy's like,
gross was she was? She shocked? Yeah, there's no way,
there's no way that shit was normal between them, and
on all of a sudden this happened even though she
wasn't normal between them. You don't expect that your husband's

(30:59):
and the father of your children is gonna fake his
death to go be with a mistress. I mean, at
least grow some balls and just get a divorce. I don't.
I don't even think my husband could figure this out, honestly.
So let's be honest here. It's not it's not on
my radars things to be worried about right now. The
cops said, as far as they know, he's somewhere in
eastern Europe. They don't know where he is, and they're

(31:19):
encouraging him to come forward, but they don't know what
they would charge him with yet. Oh my god, I
feel bad for this lady. And they have kids. They
are they little, I don't know, assuming they're pretty younger kids.
I'm saying he's gonna get hit with insurance fraud, waste
of police resources. Oh yeah, I mean there's a that's

(31:41):
really terrible. There's not like a fake a lot of charge.
There's a lot, No, there probably is. Didn't remember that
girl that faked her own kidnapping. Yeah, well, I think
her charge was like a waste of resources. I mean,
you have to think too, and this is just not
even your waste tax payer money or whatever. There's groups

(32:02):
of people who are volunteers who just do this out
of the kindness of their heart to be able to
in this case, like give this woman some justice and
closure that her husband died and to find his body
so she could mourn properly and her family can mourn properly.
And these people waste their own time, their own you know,

(32:23):
their own resources as well, and all for people who
are faking it. It's just it's that's the that's the
most disturbing part of it. And is it worse as
a child to think your dad's dead or that your
dad went to extreme measures to fake his death to
go be with his mistress and now it's all over
the internet. No, obviously that's worse for any kid. Yeah,

(32:45):
and how old are these kids? You know, Like, I
don't know if he's young. He's forty five, so they
they're I mean, well, you're forty five and you with
thirty year old kids. Yeah, that's that's like the most
unusual circumstance ever. I mean, yeah, I guess they could
be older, could have had them when they were younger
or whatever. But douche. This episode is brought to you

(33:14):
by the Grosser Room. Guys. You can go to the
Grosserroom dot com and we have so many awesome posts
in their photos, videos and stories that go along with
some of the stories that we talk about here on
Mother Knows Death. For example, this week we were talking
about the dog hair in the ear, and we have
lots of cases of things being stuck inside of people's ear.

(33:35):
One particular post that we have up there is called
stuck in Wax, and there you will find foreign bodies
that have been found inside ears, including beads in children's ear,
crayons or crayons however you pronounce that, erasers, sand, popcorn, seeds,
and of course bugs, ants, spiders, things like that. You

(33:58):
guys could head over to the grosser for more info
and to sign up. Okay, medical news and another installment
of questionable cosmetic surgery is let's talk about the latest trend,
which is the Whoville knows. There's plastic surgeons in Turkey
that are doing surgery to make people's noses so flipped

(34:22):
up that they look like Cindy lu Who. This is
just in time for the Christmas season. I mean, I
want to say, like this surgeon is intentionally doing these
procedures to look like this. But I've noticed, you know,
I watch a lot of reality TV, and with that
oftentimes comes a lot of terrible plastic surgery or people

(34:44):
that are addicted to getting classic surgery. So I think
I've seen my fair share of bad nose jobs in
my time watching television, and I've seen this look in
the past, specifically with a few Real housewives. But I
think this was not intentional. It was consu to be
a bad nose job. So I'm just confused why this
is now this intentional look right like it's it's giving

(35:08):
Michael Jackson vibes. Yeah, just that crazy nose that doesn't
look like a knows. It's funny because it's kind of
a version of my nose. See how I'm turning to
the side and it flips up. But it's like it's
like this, it's it's just so outrageous how flipped up
it is. And the pictures just look really crazy. But

(35:29):
I guess that's a trend. And I think the most
disturbing part of it is that a couple of the
women they show in these photos have this classic Italian
or Greek or just maybe Turkish whatever, like an ethnic
looking nose, and then they're going from that to this
other extreme, almost tinker Bell pixie look or something, and

(35:50):
it just looks very unnatural on their face. But you know,
whatever you want to do, it doesn't bother me. It
looks like it when it's just like a crazy it's
just a crazy kind of it's on your face. You
know what, are a little kid and you take scotch
tape and like tape your nose, like when Pee Wee
taped his nose up and in Pee Wee's Big Adventure,

(36:11):
it's got that vibe kind of go into it. Yeah,
So you know, other plastic surgeons are saying that this
is unusual that you would take if somebody, like you
were saying, had a nose that was you know, they
didn't maybe like and just they wanted it shaped a
little differently. Most plastic surgeons would just you know, do
the bare minimum to achieve the shape they would like

(36:32):
it to be and not drastically change the entire shape
of it and make it look so cartoonish. And a
lot of people have criticized this, saying it should be
illegal to let somebody look like this, But at the
end of the day, people look whatever they want. Yeah, Like,
where do you draw the line with that, because there's
a thousand other things that you're like, Okay, these people
like the breadth that is super large breast or the

(36:54):
super large I've seen in public, like these butts that
are just so outrageous, and but whatever, It's like, it's
their life. How are you going to make it illegal?
And where do you draw the line? You know what
I mean? As long as this doctor is licensed and
doing it the correct way. Then that's up to the
person that chooses to look like this. But I mean,
remember we talked about that extreme surgery months ago. Now

(37:18):
that was on TikTok, and it was this guy that's
doing these surgeries on these like super old ladies doctor
kN Yes, but that to me is outrageous too. But
that's still happening that they're doing. Like why it might
be doctor Kim. I could never I always get it confused.
It's something with a K doctor k Yeah, but this

(37:38):
this guy where was it from Singapore or something it
was I don't know where, I don't remember where. It
was like they were held against their will and getting
these insane surgeries. Yeah, I still like want to learn
more about that. But but but basically, the women are older,
in their sixties or something, and they get these surgeries
done and they look like they're sixteen year old girls.

(37:59):
It's so disturbing looking and they I mean, they really do,
but they never really show us after pictures. It's just
immediately after. They don't show what it looks like after
it's healed. Because the persons are the people surviving, I
don't know, because it's just yeah, they're essentially taking someone's
entire face off of their soft tissue and just stretching

(38:20):
it back over like giving them a self face transplant. Almost.
It's nuts. It literally looks like something out of a
horror movie, like so made up that you can't even
believe somebody's really performing these surgeries. It's so scary looking.
But speaking of fake doctors, let's talk about this lady
that pretended to be a dentist. So in Texas, a
forty six ye old woman was pretending to be a

(38:42):
dentist and not only put this poor woman under an anesthesia,
which totally illegal to do, she also bots a root canal.
Where do you even get anesthesia to just be able
to put someone under it? Like, Hey, Maria, I'm gonna
do a root canal on you later. Is it not
expect to pretend to be a dentist? I don't know,

(39:03):
I don't know where is and all the supplies. Well,
clearly she was making money off of it for a while.
I have no idea where. I mean, maybe she was
like a hygienist or something in a dental office at
another job and had access to steal the stuff that
she needed in order to have her own side business

(39:25):
or something. I'm not really sure exactly what happened, but
when you hear the word root canal, I think so
many people already just cringe when they hear it, thinking
about they're very trusted dentist doing this procedure on them anyway,
and what happens. You know, when you touch your teeth
with through your tongue or your finger, they're very hard,

(39:45):
but inside of your teeth it's soft. There's something called
pulp in there which holds nerves and little blood vessels
and stuff. And if you have a cavity on your
tooth that gets close to that pulp, what they want
to do is clean that out so there's not the
ability to have bacterial growth that could get down deep
into the tooth and then create an abscess in your jaw.

(40:06):
That's a bacterial infection that could eventually travel to your
heart and give you a really terrible infection and could
kill you in theory. So that's what they do. They
go in there and they kind of clean out that
pulp and then they put usually a cap on top
of it to make sure that nothing gets down in
there again. But in this case, this woman did this

(40:26):
procedure on this person and didn't do a right the
correct job, because she's not a trained physician right or
a dentist, and she had serious problems if she if
she did a decent job, I don't even know if
she would have got caught for a while. Yeah, So
I guess this victim of this, you know, tipped police

(40:48):
off that this was going on, and then they sent
undercover agents to the office, and she offered to do
dental work on the undercover agents, and then they discovered
she didn't even have a license at all. So oh wow, Okay,
let's get on to this woman in Idaho. So this
nurse practitioner, she was only a nurse practitioner for about

(41:08):
a year, but she's been sentenced to four years in
prison for illegally prescribing drugs in exchange for cash pills
And myth. I don't understand. You go through all this
schooling to be a nurse practitioner. It's not easy at
all to be a nurse and to get the advanced degree.
It's a lot of work. Why would you risk throwing
that away? Well, maybe she saw how much cash she

(41:30):
could bring in and she was like, well, I'm only
like how much to nurse practitioners make you here on
average they make a lot over one hundred I mean
they make I mean not that that's a lot compared
to if you're making a couple hundred thousand selling drugs.
But they make they make they can make one hundred
one fifty. It just depends where they work, you know
what I mean. So it's it's an advanced degree they

(41:52):
could do. They can make a good living. So she
issued illegitimate prescriptions for oxycodon, oxycodone, aceto metafin, and hydrocodone.
Is stated, all right, so she had when they found
when they did the investigation, in only one year, Okay,
she gave out. She wrote prescriptions for four thousand, three

(42:17):
hundred and fifty eight percocets, two thousand, eight hundred and
fifty four oxycotton, and two thousand, six hundred and twenty
five Bykendens. Like, Hello, you don't think that you're gonna
be there's gonna be alarms going off if you're prescribing
that many pain medications to people. Well, if she lived

(42:37):
in Florida in like two thousand and five, it definitely
wouldn't have, you know, set off any alarms when they
were having you know all those oxy cotton clinics popping up. Yeah,
but it's twenty and twenty four and they're on that
shit now because it's a huge problem in this country.
So I don't know why she would have thought that
that wouldn't have gotten flagged in any kind of way.

(42:58):
She's just wish she using herself. Yes, guys, she that
makes all the sense that she was getting some of
the pills from the bottles as part of her payment,
and she was getting meth as payment in addition to cash.
My question is, are nurse practitioners allowed to docription they're
allowed to prescribe, because that's why I was confused, because

(43:20):
I didn't realize they were allowed to issue prescriptions. So
I was like, did she just steal a doctor's pad,
and was just no, no, no, no. She could prescribe,
just like you know when you go to the nurse
practitioner at your doctor's office, they could prescribe. They're the
same level as like a PA. You could prescribe medications.
And I don't know what the rules are with these

(43:40):
controlled substances, but because I know that you have to
get special licenses sometimes to be able to give out
controlled substances. But I'm not really sure one hundred percent
with that. But I mean there are systems in place
now to find people who are doing this, and they'll
also look at the ratio, like maybe a nurse that's

(44:01):
working out a plastic surgery office would maybe a nurse
practitioner might write more prescriptions for something like that because
those patients are always you know, they might take percose
that's the first couple of days after they get surgery,
So that kind of a nurse practitioner might have more
than the average that works at in like a regular
family medicine doctor's office. But they're they're probably looking at it.

(44:24):
I can't even believe she got away with this for
an entire year, honestly, it's a lot of pills. Yeah,
I don't. I'm curious what their systems are in place
that set off these alarm bells, Like is it the
pharmacy repeatedly getting it from the same office or what's
going on. But obviously they need to take control of
this because it's a serious issue, and like you just

(44:47):
went through all that schooling, like you were saying, just
to throw it away. It makes sense though, if she's
using like she's not thinking straight. But it wasn't only her.
There was another woman behind the scenes that was helping
her orchestra all of this, and that woman had also
been arrested prior for selling controlled substances. So like, what
are you doing? I don't know. All right, let's talk

(45:09):
about off brand ozempic. Yes, so there's I don't know
if you've guys noticed this, because I've noticed it just
being on especially on Facebook, there is constantly ads to
sign up for these certain websites that will give you
what they're calling semi glue tide, which is ozempic or

(45:29):
wagovi or one of those kinds of medications. And they're
not really selling the brand name of the drugs like
some people tell you you could get it in a
pill form or this or that. They're selling what's called
a compound drug. And a compound drug. Let me give
you an example because one of my kids had to
have one once. So when Lucia was having her weird

(45:50):
skin infection issue with her psoriasis, she had this weird
fungal thing and she needed to be on the specific
kind of anti fungal medication and they had to make
it specific for her. Because she was younger than the
patient that typically would take it, and also at that
time she wasn't taking pills yet, so they had to
make an oral suspension of it. And so that's a

(46:13):
special situation where the pharmacist actually makes the drug instead
of going on the shelf and just picking up one
that's already made. Those ones that are all on the
shelf that are already made are FDA approved, but these
compound drugs are not FDA approved. But usually you have
pharmacists who are concocting these you know, their chemists, and
they're making these medications to be as close to the

(46:35):
real thing as possible, but they're not FDA proof, so
we don't know how close they are to the real
thing and stuff. And in this case, there's been one
hundred reported incidents of injuries and what five deaths because
of people taking these kinds of compound medications that substitute
semi gluetide. Yeah, and the company I guess that you

(46:57):
know manufactured the semi gluetide has said that it it's
way too complex of a drug to replicate in this way,
and they're trying to get the FDA to ban these
off brand o zepics. But you know, I'm like, if
they're the only company that's selling those, I was just
gonna say that. I was going to say that listen, Like,
I don't listen to anything a pharma, a pharmaceutical company

(47:17):
will say to you, because obviously they're going to be like,
we're making so much money off of this and they're
not doing it right, and they're Listen, if you did
a survey of how many people are taking these drugs
versus how many people got sick, It's not like they
only sold one hundred and five of them and had
one hundred and five injuries, you know what I mean.
There's thousands, if not more people taking these ones because

(47:41):
the pharmaceutical companies are making it difficult to get the
brand names of them. So I don't listen to anything
they say. I'm just saying that there's been documentations of
problems and the only reason they want them to get
FDA approved is because it's a competitor for them. Keep
that in mind, well, yeah, because you know, of course
they're going to go to the length to take any

(48:03):
negative data possible to try to amp up their business.
So I don't know, all I want to say, is
just if you if you want to do something like that,
and anytime you're buying anything offline, and this is not
just like hardcore medication, but just vitamin supplements or anything,
just kind of make sure that you're getting it from

(48:24):
a reputable source. Yea, because just because when you don't.
It's the same with vitamin supplements and stuff. There's no
FDA oversight, and it could it could really cause problems
in some people. And Facebook doesn't vet out companies to
know which ones are are doing well or doing like
legitimate work versus not and stuff. And I mean, we

(48:46):
could start selling it like they are they going to check? No,
they just want money for the ad. No, they're definitely not.
I actually, I don't know if it was you or
Ricky telling me that. I think it was. Ricky said
he had some targeted ads on Instagram that looked like
they were in Mazon listings and when he clicked on them,
it brought him to like a fake Amazon website to
try to purchase them. Yeah. Like, well, I think one

(49:09):
of my friends was it. I don't want to say
their name, but tried to buy this like giant bounce
house thing for and it was a lot. It was
like a thousand dollars, but normally I guess it was
like the really good quality ones that you would rent
from a place or something. Obviously when it's too good
to be true, it is. But she had it dis
targeted ad on Facebook and ordered it and then never

(49:32):
got it and or not only did she get beat
for the money, but the person like stole the credit
card information and put like put a bunch of shit
on there. And yeah, they don't they don't give a shit.
Like literally, they get the add money and they're like approved,
what are they looking in? No, they do take time
to approve it. I don't know if it's just like, oh,
let's just make them think we're doing something, but like

(49:52):
they don't just let you submit something. That's why you're like,
how is this stuff? And you've hear one of the
guys that I listened to in the morning, just like
a local guy, he did a whole hour of people
that were getting scammed on Facebook, and people were calling
the whole entire time saying that it happened to them
over different things. So it's a thing, you know, Yeah,
I don't know, all right, this nineteen year old chick

(50:15):
went on Reddit, which maybe is the worst place ever
to get advice, but maybe not in her case. But
she wanted to ask if she was in the wrong
for refusing to donate her kidney to her dying sister,
which was her sister's only chance of survival. But she
said that, you know, her and her sister didn't really
have a good relationship, and she also was dealing with
some health issues herself. But she really felt that her

(50:38):
family was pressuring her to do it, and she didn't
want to do at all. What health issues was she
having herself? She didn't specify, I'm because if she was,
so this is this is how I look at it.
The only person that you could really get a kidney from,
surely is if you have an identical twin, that's going

(50:58):
to be a match, right and you're the next thing
you're going to look to is your family. And sometimes
one of your siblings will be a good match, and
sometimes they won't. So this woman already went through the
process of seeing if she would be a good match
for her sister, which she shouldn't even started the thing
if she didn't want to do it, right, said, her
family was pressuring her to do it. She's she's sine,

(51:22):
she nineteen. Okay, just don't do it, Like that's it.
So if you really didn't want to do it, you
shouldn't have done it. So then you do it, and
you find out that you're the only one that could
save her life, and now you're saying you don't want
to because you have health issues. If she has health
issues that are similar to her sisters, meaning that maybe
her kidneys aren't working great and there's a possibility that

(51:43):
she might have to have a kidney transplant herself, that
is the only acceptable thing I could see for not
doing this. I don't know. I was shocked that, you know,
she goes on Reddit for advice and then everybody was
pretty sympathetic with her, and we're giving her tips to
get out of it. Yeah, because they're they're all people
that are your age that just are selfish, Like what

(52:06):
are you talking about, Like your sister is dying and
you're not going to give her a kidney because you
It's just like it's so douchey. Yeah, I mean to clarify,
she was the only match to her sister in their
whole family, which is why she feels like she's been
putting in this position. But she's made it pretty clear
that she doesn't like her sister, who is twenty three

(52:26):
years old, and if she's dying, you don't want to
try to give her a chance at having a life,
even if you don't get along. Yeah, it's it's just like,
oh my life, me me, me, me, me, me, me, Like, no,
she's wrong and she Yeah, what was the title of it?
Am I an asshole for not wanting to give my
dying sister a kidney? Yes, you are, I'll answer the

(52:47):
question for you. Part of me is like, I feel
like so many people go on Reddit with these totally
fabricated scenarios just to get her eyes at it. I
don't think this is a fabricated scenario. I'm sure that
people struggle with this because everything you know, when you're
donating a kidney, whether it's to a stranger or to
a loved one, you always have to think in the
back of your mind like, Okay, well this is my

(53:08):
backup plan, so now I'm not going to have this right. Yeah,
It's completely normal to be scared and worried about that
because you have two of them for a reason, So
if one of them doesn't work. The other one's there,
and you're putting yourself in a situation for sure, But
to think that somebody that could live with that is
perfect is just gonna You're just gonna allow them to

(53:28):
die because you're not gonna want to take that risk
for them. It's just it's for your sister. Like, I
don't care, it's it's just it's how are you going
to bury that person and just be at the funeral
and know that you were the only one in the
world that could help save her life. I mean, I
I would give one of the girls by kidney and

(53:51):
a harpy, you know, like you would do the same
for your sister. So obviously in our families, we just
see it a little differently with the other pea. And
like I said, it's not it's normal to be like
I don't want to do this because my life's going
to be at risk and stuff. It's totally normal. But
but like you're it's almost your responsibility as a human

(54:12):
to help people not die, right. I'm curious for our
audience is well, half of them are going to think
that I should be more sensitive to millennials, and the
other half we're going to think I'm an absolute genius
for saying this. I'll side with that. Have Oh my god,

(54:33):
it's true, dude. I'm sorry like people that were It's
just it's part of the problems of society right now
that just people are just too worried, too selfish, right,
all right, all right, all right, okay, let's get onto
something a little bit. Actually, i'n't even say lighter because
this cannot possibly be lighter. Other death news. Okay, at

(54:58):
this very popular beach nearby, a worker was just walking
along the beach, breaking it, I guess, making it look
nice for the resorts nearby, and stumbled across a head
just on the beach. Just a human head on the beach. Yep,
just on the just on the beach, on the sand,
just laying by the water. Apparently it washed ashore. Nobody

(55:18):
knows where it came from. Don't you love that they
just say, Oh, police came and confirmed it was a
human head. Like I'm pretty sure the dude knew it
was a human head, right, like, come on, yeah, Like,
I guess there's always you know, we talked about this
the other day. There's there's always this disbelief in your
mind where you just want to think it's like a
mannequin or a Halloween prop or something, but I'm pretty

(55:38):
sure you're able to tell the difference. There's there's just
so many different scenarios that could happen here. This could
this could be anything. It could be an accident that
someone was in a boating accident and ended up in
the water, and then there's animals in the water, so
that could totally happen in a natural kind of way,
meaning someone didn't decapitate someone as a homine. Side right,

(56:01):
it could totally be a homicide too. There's just so
many different circumstances. The person could have died maybe in
the woods near the beach, and other animals could have
taken the body apart. So there it's it's interesting, but
they'll examine it and they'll be able to tell if
there's evidence of animal activity, if it was postmortem, what

(56:24):
the margins of the head wound look like. They're not
really going to be able to I just had a thought, actually,
what if I I've never had a situation where I've
just gotten ahead and obviously you would want to look
at the brain, and I'm just thinking, like, how the
hell would you even take out the brain without it
attached to the body. You have to have some kind

(56:45):
of a like a grip vice thing that I guess
maybe at medical examiner's offices. What do you mean, like
you can't just open it and take it out? Well,
what am I going to put it in between my
legs and hold it squeeze my thigh shut to be
able to know? But you need, okay, if you if

(57:08):
you need to take something like let's say you have
a basketball and you need to cut in between it
and keep it still like, you can't just you have
to like tack it under your arm or put it
between your thighs and try to cut it like nothing
is very sanitary. Put a person's whole head between your
thighs and try to cut their head open. So I'm
sure they have some way of strapping it down.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
I know.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
I'm just saying that that I've never had that situation,
and there's no tools, at least in any more that
I've been in that would be able to accommodate that,
Like you would have to use something that you would
get at like home depot. I can't even feather because
you have well you have to you have to flip

(57:50):
the skin over first in order to access the skull,
and then the skull has to stay very still in
order for you to use the bone saw on it.
And really you couldn't have a person hold it like that,
like the only way that it's so stables because it's
attached to the body. You can't like ratchet strap it
to a table or something like. No, I know, I

(58:11):
don't think so. I'm sure it doesn't. This is not
the first to capitate decapitated, I I know, I'm just
I just never really thought about it. That's also that
was a side note. Anyway, They said that they're going
to try to determine the cause of death, and they
can determine That's what I was trying to say, Like
if you open up the skull, you would you know

(58:33):
if the person had some kind of a natural death
or a brain bleed or something. But you'd also be
able to see if they had any kind of trauma
or anything. And and you could tell if the if
the person was alive before their head was cut off
or not. And it also depends on the level of
decomposition because they don't say anything. They say it's a
human head, so you're just thinking that it's a headbit

(58:54):
just got cut off, but it could be one that's
almost completely skeletonized. You just don't know, you know what
I mean. Yeah, And as of this morning, they were
saying it belonged to a male and that they're looking
into this one particular case because on Saturday, a nineteen
year old had apparently been swept up in a rip
current nearby. So they don't want to confirm or deny
if it's him yet, but they're looking into it. And

(59:16):
that could that could totally make sense. And there's sharks
and bigger fish that tear off the decomposing body in
the water, and like that could just be it. Hopefully
that's it. Yeah, all right, let's move on to Questions
of the Day. Every Friday on that at mother Nose
Death Instagram account, we put a story up and you
guys can ask whatever questions you want. First, how did

(59:37):
you study any tips? Have you ever failed a course?
Did you almost major in anything else? Okay, so I
used to study, because you have to remember that I
went to school a long time ago. So I'm saying
that because there's so much technology. Like when I first
went to school to college, there was no Internet, we

(01:00:00):
had to stand in line to sign up for classes
and stuff, so just think of there might have been
I guess at that time we started with like the AOL,
but it was dial up internet through your mom's phone
line and stuff. It just was not what it is today.
So I used to write down every single thing that
my teacher said, and then I would go home and

(01:00:20):
rewrite my notes very very nice, and I would use
lots of different highlighters and color code things. And I
still do that to that day. I'm very big on
the color coding to help me remember things. But I
want to tell you, guys something that I just heard yesterday,
and I was having a conversation with some people that
kids are recording their lessons with their professors and then

(01:00:46):
they're going home and putting it in AI systems and
having it like type out notes for them and stuff.
I personally wouldn't find that helpful, but I think that
some people might find that helpful. I think the helpful
part for me was just rewriting it all. Yeah, they're
hearing the same way, but people have different things. But

(01:01:06):
that's just that's kind of one of the good things
about AI, I guess, is that you could you could
go in there and just put in, you know, lectures
and get notes out and all that kind of stuff.
So that's that's kind of cool. And I drew pictures
and the same thing like anatomy coloring books. Everything was
always the same color, you know, you could and now

(01:01:28):
like I feel like when I went to school, there
was like five highlighter colors. Now I get my kids
like these twenty packs of highlighter colors and stuff like that.
So I think that that's personally helpful. And what was
the other question? Have you ever failed a course? And
did you almost major in something else? I failed one
course and it was when I went to college, and

(01:01:50):
it was learning how to type, because like I just
I can't and I still can't. Whatever. Yeah, I didn't
fail it either, I guess I. I just was like
f this and I got a W which is a withdrawal.
But that's probably even worse than failing, is it though, Yeah,
because I think it still drags your GPA down. But yeah,

(01:02:11):
so that that was that I just was like, I
can't do this, and I probably would have failed because
I couldn't do it. And now you're a writer, so
look at that and I type with my fingers looking
at the keyboard the whole time. Yeah, but you are
like two inch long fingernails and you're like like you're
like glawing the keyboard. I don't know how you type
like that. I do. Actually, when one of my nails breaks,

(01:02:33):
it's terrible. I feel like I have an amputation, Like
I have to go get it fixed because I can't type.
All right, what was the last one? And then, did
you almost major in something else? Yeah? I did. I
it's always been the same thing. But before I found
out obviously, like I told you guys my story that
I that I that I started off majoring and nursing
for a couple of days before I switched over to

(01:02:54):
lab stuff. But I didn't learn about what my undergrad
degree is in cytotechnolog and I didn't learn about that
for maybe a year when I was going to college.
So I was in the Medical Lab Technology program, which
is called MLTT. I don't think it's I don't know
if it's called that anymore. It might be Clinical Lab

(01:03:16):
Technician or something now. But I was learning how to
work in the lab, and first I learned how to
do phlebotomy, and then I was learning how to do
the actual blood work. So when you get your blood
taken it to doctor, and those bials of blood go
to the lab, like I would be the person that
was reading them and stuff like that. But then I
found out about cytotechnology and that's when I decided to

(01:03:37):
switch over to that. But a lot of it was
like all the same classes, so it didn't it didn't
really matter all right. So that was all one question technically,
So we're gonna move on to question over two. Are
you interested in writing another book, and if so, what
would it be about? Possibly. I have a couple different

(01:03:58):
ideas I would. I do have one idea that was
kind of rejected already because it's too risky, so that,
of course that makes me want to do it even
more obviously, and I don't know if I really want
to talk about that right yet. And also i'd really
like to do a children's kind of book, so I'm
thinking that maybe down the line. But I have a

(01:04:19):
couple different stories of things. But you know, all of
this stuff that we talk about and everything is very
sensitive material and just taking a risk with it, So
I don't have a clear cut idea with anything right now.
But I don't know, I just don't. I don't really

(01:04:39):
even want to think about doing that again because that
was mentally draining, Like I need off for a while
for them. Well, I think that you know, we didn't know,
you didn't know what we were doing the first time around,
and you were also relying on a lot of paperwork
behind the scenes and a lot of back and forth
between everybody that submitted their cases. So I think that

(01:05:00):
made it extremely difficult just from like logistics nightmare just
getting everything together, and that took a long time. So
now that I feel like we had the organization down,
it started going smoother towards the end, and you were
popping them out a lot quicker. Right, Yeah, I don't know.
I think it's still was stressful because I don't just
you know, I have to work with a publisher and

(01:05:21):
then you have to deal with like all of what
they want from you, you know, and it's just the
back and forth and the you know, I'm very kind
of particular about what I want and what I like
and what I think will be best and having to
deal with different opinions and stuff like that, so all
that I just am kind of like I'm happy just

(01:05:43):
writing for the Gross Room right now and doing the podcast. Well,
I definitely would liked to do one again in the future.
I'm also a firm believer in writing essays and putting
them together over time, so you never know, like there
might be a theme throughout the Gross Room that you
might one day realize and then you could just take
everything you already wrote and just put it together. Yeah,
that's true, because like I have an idea for a

(01:06:06):
book that I want to write, So every time I
have a situation happened, I just write a little essay
about it right when it's on my mind, and then
when I'm fifty it might come out like you never know,
it's just yeah, but like I think it's a funny idea,
and I have funny things happen, so I'm just like,
let me write them down and if anything, it's like
a funny journaling exercise and maybe it could turn into
like a funny project with they You just never know.

(01:06:29):
But all right, last, do you believe in Aliens? I don't.
I don't like the thought of Alians. I don't. I
just don't. I don't. I've been open with you guys,
I like I don't like et, it's freaking scary to me.
And then I saw some movie when I was in
eighth grade called Fire in the Sky and it was

(01:06:51):
so freaking scary. I saw it at the movie theater,
and just like I think, just a part of my
brain like blocks out that it's even a possibility. Although
I'm I'm into I'm into space in the universe and everything,
and I just think that it's completely impossible that there's
not life on another planet or another universe or anything

(01:07:13):
like that. But I just don't. I really don't want
to think about it because it's scary, but I'm not
but I'm sure it probably is. The thing I agree
with you, Like, I really am into the campy nature
of it all and with sci fi and TV shows
and everything, but the idea of it being real just
scares me so much. I just don't even want to
think about it. Yeah, just like I just I don't

(01:07:36):
like that that movie, I swear to God, Like, I
don't know why it freaked me out so much. I mean,
I was thirteen when I saw it, or whatever you
are when you're in middle school like that with signs No,
I don't, I don't. It's so scary. I don't. I
don't want to watch movies like that because they scare me.
And even because I feel like recently on the news

(01:07:58):
they've been talking about it more than that, like legit.
People are saying that this stuff's real, and it just
it's just like I don't want to know. I just
don't want to know. Yeah, I mean, I don't like
the idea of it, but you know, I do want to.
I did want to go there because I thought it
was cool. But then I read this article once that
was like, oh, here's the top ten destinations that are

(01:08:19):
there that are like big tourist traps that are the
most disappointing things you'll ever go to. And that was
listed on it as area fifty one. Apparently it's like
really kind of out of the way and when you go,
it's like a huge let down. I don't know, I
don't know. Some people know what else was on that list.
Graceland is it? Is it? I hope not, because I

(01:08:40):
realize I've heard that Graceland itself is amazing, but Memphis sucks,
So I don't know. I've never been there, so I
don't know. I'm good. I want to go there soon. Too,
but no, what's the where's the Hollywood Stars and all
you know, Hollywood Believe Boulevard? Yeah that I actually couldn't

(01:09:02):
believe it because my only experience with that growing up
was going to what was called when I was a kid,
MGM Studios in Disney World, which is now called Hollywood Studios,
and they used to have this whole entire like old
Hollywood section with the Chinese Theater, and I guess they
still have some of it there. Well, they still have that,

(01:09:23):
like that's where they awards are every year, and they
still have the Walk of Stars. But yeah, so they
had all that on display. And then I saw that
as a kid and thought that that's what it was
really going to be like. And then when I went
in real life, I really thought that I wasn't in
the right place because it was like the trashy Wildwood
Boardwalk cousin Disney. It's all like fake Spider Man costumes

(01:09:45):
and stuff. Yeah, but when Disney invented that park, it
was like the glamorous nineteen fifty side of Hollywood, not
the twenty twenty four run down like yeah, you know
it was. It was. It was so disturbing when I
saw it, and I just was like, I don't I
know if this is right, Like this might not be
the right one. And everyone was like, what are you
talking about? This is it? And You're like, oh, okay,

(01:10:09):
but that was on that list too. I'm trying to
think of what else was on there that you go
like all the way out of your way to go
see this thing and it's just like where or I'm
sure there's a lot of stuff like that. All right, Well,
