Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi. Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode,
we're going to talk about Northwest, controversial piercing, a mother
who was charged after her son was killed by an alligator,
a woman forced to give birth in an unusual location
in the hospital due to overcrowding, the risk of scrolling
on social media while on the toilet, and human remains
(00:42):
found in a pirate. All that and more on today's episode,
Let's get started with Northwest. She's been in the news
a lot the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, Kim Kardashian's getting slammed for allowing her twelve year
old daughter to get a dermal piercing in her middle finger.
I guess I'm just like, you know, I'm thinking of Lilian,
also twelve years old, and I'm just like, why is
this necessary that she got this done?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Well, I mean she's also wearing a corset with her
boobs pushed up. Well, that's what I was gonna say, Like,
obviously it is more problem.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Honestly, that's exactly what I was just gonna say. I
was gonna say, you know, obviously, there's a problem with
letting a child so young get a piercing in their finger.
That is honestly, in the picture, it looks infected already.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It does. And my biggest problem.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
With this is she's wearing this over sexualized outfit with
a short skirt with a corset and her chest is
exposed too much for a child, And that bothers me
more than her mom letting her get the piercing. I mean,
why are we letting her dress like this because.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Like her mother literally got her famous by distributing her
sex tape. Like, I don't think that we need to
talk about anything else. Even if she was sixteen, you're
getting old like is and you would say that, oh,
that's ridiculous, Like they're they're old bye by like sexy
young woman standards, right, they're just becoming old women. They're
(02:09):
like my age. So they're like, all right, now we
got to push it onto the next Then they had
the gender girls that are like twenties and getting into
the thirties, and now it's like, okay, next generation.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Even if she was sixteen or seventeen years old, this
outfit would be so wildly inappropriate. And the fact that
she is twelve years old. I mean, she like might
not even have her period yet, and she's dressing like this.
It's in public like there, It's not like this was
playing dress up in the privacy of her home. This
is she's paparazzi walking the streets in the outfit.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well anyway, so it's it's not it's not a dermal piercing.
A dermal piercing is like you know the one that
was popular a couple of years ago, when like a
girl would have a diamond in her face. Okay, just
like not like ours that got pierced through the lip,
like the one that was just like on the cheek
or something like that. That's a dermal piercing. And essentially
(03:02):
they just do like a punch biopsy, which is like
a whole puncher for skin and put a hole and
then they put this anchor inside there and they put
a diamond in for it to stay there. This is
a surface piercing. It's just a little bit different because
it goes in and out of the skin and it
has like a barbell underneath of the skin. And you
(03:23):
could see when you look at the picture, like you said,
it looks like it's not happy because those piercings, I
just hate them. The most common surface piercing that you
would think of is like a belly button or your eyebrow,
because it's not like your ear that it goes in
and out, you know what I mean, It goes in
(03:43):
and out, but it's under your skin. So with any
foreign body that we talk about all the time, your
body's like I want you out. I recognize you as
far and are gonna work my hard is to get
you out of my body. So that's what it does.
And for some people it heals and it looks nice,
and for other people, your body just literally pushes it out.
So and I'm sure thousands of you listening right now
(04:07):
had your belly button pierced at some point and could
be like it looked. It looked so bad. I have
a scar forever. When I got pregnant, my belly buttoned
scar was like the size of a head. All of
these different things. And then of course there's ones that
are listening that are like, I got it and I
never had a problem with it. So especially I feel
(04:28):
like with darker skinned people, it's the scar is just
like she's gonna have a scar on her finger from it,
and it's kind of like is that necessary, like and
the middle finger thing and all that. It's just like
kind of corny. It's just like, okay, can you scream
for attention anymore? All of you kid? I know, And
it's just like whatever, like they do it because everybody's
(04:48):
talking about it, but it's just like she's a kid,
she's a child, and like, well.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
A comment I saw a lot was who is even
doing the piercing? And I think this just plays into
your whole VIP treatment theory. Yeah, oh absolutely, because no
normal shop would have done this, Like like I would
always if we ever did a piercing or anything, I
would always go to Infinite and Philly.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
They're like a trusted place, and I feel like if
I walked in there right now with Lillian, it was
like can you give my child a dermal piercing? They
would like laugh in my face. Well yeah, it's just
like it it's just I don't know, but like yeah,
like if Kim Kardashian calls anybody, they're going to do
it just because whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It's just I feel like I was sixteen, almost seventeen
when I got my piercing in my face and didn't
you have to sign all this paperwork?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah? I don't think that there's a big there's a
big Yeah, there's a big difference between sixteen and twelve
like whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Well yeah, And that's my problem with the outfit too,
because she is a child. Stop trying to force her
to grow up. I mean, her life is already bad
between it just constantly being in the press, having her
whole entire childhood on a reality show, and then everything.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Going on with her whack job dad. Did she need
any more? In my opinion, her her whacked up job
dad isn't is equally as bad as her mother. It's
just like her mom. Like it's it's funny that everybody's like,
oh Kanye is so crazy and this and that, and
you're like, yeah, he totally sucks, but like so does she.
Like it's it's equal, like equal bad parents, just in
(06:20):
different kind of ways. It's like, oh, you could have
the total racist guy, or you could have the the
one that's sexually exploit you, like, choose your poison.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I feel bad for those kids. It's not like they
chose to be part of that life.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, I mean, they just it just is, it is
what it is. But you kind of you kind of
could see what's going like even when they go out
in public like that, you're like, Okay, I see what's
going on here and just thinking about like you know,
times are like my daughters will be going to a
dance of some sort, like a formal dance and a
(06:57):
dress and just and I see this on we were
talking about Sheen on yesterday's episode. Shean's a good one
to have these over sexualized outfits for little kids. That
even some of the the bathing suits and stuff that
I ordered for the girls this summer had like like
that rouching like on the butt crack to accentuate their butt,
(07:19):
and I'm like, my daughter's ten, does she need to
have her butt accentuated right now? I know, it's so weird.
Another one of the bathing suit tops that I order,
I sent everything back because I was like, this stuff
is total shit. One of them was like like trying
like a bikini, like I guess you would call like
a string bikini. It was two little fabrics of triangles,
(07:41):
and I'm just like why, like why are you why?
Like it's funny to even put have them put it
on because you're just like, no, this is something like
like a sexy woman would wear and you're ten, so
there is like a certain portion of that that you're
just like, Okay, this is like inappropriate it for children.
(08:02):
And I don't want to sound like a prude or anything,
but I just think, like when I saw that corset,
because when you look, it looks like she has like
breasts pushed up, and like, I just think, at twelve
years old, you really shouldn't be accentuating boobs unless you
want people to look at them.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
This is this is my problem with it. Like around
her age, I was super into Green Day, my Chemical
Romance and Phantom of the Opera, right like in my
peak emo phase, and I would wear corsets from Hot Topic,
but they never pushed my boobs up like that, like
they covered my chest.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, like because it wasn't really a corset, Like I
do you actually that's like she's wearing like a leaf
T shirt underneath of them. I did. I was gonna say, like,
I think you had one and you wore it over
a long sleeve black shirt.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
No, you were straight up like you're not wearing this
unless you wear a T shirt or something you could wear.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Like you could wear the corset with lots of stuff.
I just think like, like, listen, she's twelve, and I guess, yeah,
I guess it's like you're you're even more judgmental because
you're like, we know how your parents are, we know
how you became to be like, and they're just you
see that they're trying to like pass it on to
the next you know, because they did and we know
(09:17):
that they did it with the other with the other two,
especially like Kylie, like it was like she was a
little girl in the show, and then all of a
sudden it was like.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, but it's one thing if you're like an older
teenager starting to be an adult and you make those
choices yourself. It's one thing if you're a kid and
your parent is encouraging that and trying to blanket it
as like oh, she's fashionable. She's expressing herself Like no,
you're the parent and you're responsible for being like this
is inappropriate for you.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
To wear outside of this household anyway. Yeah, So we
were just talking about the piercing, like I like, there's
going to be people that absolutely have never had a
problem with them. I just particularly have not been a
fan of the dermal piercings and or the surface piercings.
I had one when I was sixteen years old on
my eyebrow, and I still have a scar from it
(10:06):
till this day. And mine never even got super nasty
like I've seen them get. So when I was growing up,
it was really popular to get them, like in the
back of your neck, like underneath your hair. So especially
like if you can get one on an area of
your body that's like doesn't have that much access and
(10:28):
your skin's not bending that much, you can probably have
an easier time with it. But like if you have
your belly button and you're wearing pants that are constantly
rubbing against it, or your finger that's bumping everything all
the time, I just think that, like you're just increasing
the risk for it to be angry all the time.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
All Right, This text story is kind of hard to follow,
so bear with me while I try to explain it.
So this mother had four children, a newborn, a six
year old son, a daughter which they didn't disclose the age,
and a twelve year old son. So she said she
gave her twelve year old son a sleeping aid before
he went to bed. On August thirteenth, at three am,
she woke up to care for the newborn and saw
(11:08):
him in the kitchen looking for a snack and guided
him back to bed. So then the next morning, she
takes the six year old to school with the newborn
and leaves the twelve year old and the daughter home alone.
She assumed they had been sleeping and didn't check on them.
So she gets back from the school drop off, and
that's when the daughter says the twelve year old isn't home,
and the mom goes into the room and sees the
windows open and he's just completely missing.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So so he's missing, and he's like, where do you
even start of how wrong this is? Whatever? She I
don't know what a sleep aid is either for a child.
Is it like a malatonin gummy? Or are you giving
this kid something.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That like Benkritchel or something else?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, Like, I don't know, but that it would almost
make me. I don't want to say that because I
think that malatonin, like Lucia told me she had this
like crazy she took a maltonin gummy before school because
she just started school and told me about this crazy
like dream she had with maggots on her body or
something outrageous and I'm like, yeah, there's like this funny
meme going around with like this this giant like cricket
(12:09):
with that's like attacking people. And it's like, oh, my
dreams when I'm on melatonin because they just they they
it happens to me too if I ever take one.
The mom gave him this medication, knowing he has a
history of sleepwalking, got up in the morning and didn't
even check on him to see if he was okay,
and didn't even realize it until ten in the morning.
(12:31):
And then when she got home, the daughter had said
that the kid was missing and went out the bedroom windows.
So I don't know how old the daughter was. Was
she significantly younger and couldn't really communicate with that the
mother as well to be like, mom.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Well, she might have just they shared a bedroom, so
she might have just woken up and been like, he's
not there in the windows open.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah. So, so the kid's missing, and he was missing
for a few days correct, no, like weeks.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
They didn't fight, so he went missing on August fourteenth,
and they didn't find his body until August twenty sixth.
Oh god, So it was a long time. And then
it seems like he got attacked. They declared that his
death was due to an alligator.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, but they so they said it was because of
blunt trauma. So what does that mean. I guess because
the the the alligator can grab on and can like
you know when they do the alligator roll thing, they
like roll around and swing the kid around and stuff.
So he could have grabbed on to him somehow and
(13:41):
just like banged them against something or because you wouldn't
use the term blunt trauma if if an alligator bites
were what caused the injuries. So it has to do
it has something to do with the alligator, like banging
him against some kind of a lunt surface and causing issues.
(14:03):
But now the mom, So the mom is getting in
trouble for this.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well what was interesting is I guess they just moved
into this house that they were living in and at
their old house only two weeks before he went missing,
police had found the boy naked and drinking water from
a drainage ditch. And then three days after that, a
neighbor knocked on the door because he had gotten out again,
and that incident wasn't reported to police.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, so there's a history here of and what's up
with the naked and drinking out of the drain and everything,
just because they thought he slept walk again.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Well, is it sleepwalking or does he have a mental
issue going on? I don't know, because I mean, like
when you're when you're sleepwalking, like you hear of people
doing weird shit. Yeah, totally, but I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Like remember, I feel like on this show at some
point we were talking about someone that was sleepwalking and
the wasn't it like a wife was sleep talking in
the husband videotaped or doing it. She was like putting
the hairbrush in the microwave and stuff like doing weird shit. Yeah,
but we also.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Kind of called bullshit on that because anybody could reenact
that stuff, how would you be able to tell?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Why?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
So she was charged with negligent homicide and second degree
cruelty of juveniles. Like where do you think this charge
comes from?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Well? Maybe from leaving a child that has a known
documentation of a medical issue alone for hours without protection.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Thought he was sleeping in his bedroom.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
He was, Yeah, but he's twelve, and I don't know
how old the other kid is. I mean, is there
a law like how old you're allowed to leave your kids.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And I don't think that part matters as much because
even let's say she did go in the bedroom, he
might have gotten out in the middle of the night,
and if she woke up at a normal hour, he
could have still been gone at that time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But if you if you know that your child has
a problem and you're not doing everything in your power
to protect them, and there's stock like there's clearly documentation
of this kid sleepwalking, and there's been two incidents where
the kid has went outside, So like, if she's not
really locking down the house and making sure that that
kid doesn't get outside, then it's kind of her fault
(16:20):
if he gets hurt. It's not like if it was
the first time, it wouldn't she probably wouldn't get in trouble.
I'm sure they did investigation and found a bunch of
other stuff too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I mean this case is just so weird, just every
detail of it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, and it's terrible. I mean, it's terrible to think
that that happened that the kid. I mean, listen, like,
even if you're a negligent parent, like, no one ever
deserves their child to be missing for weeks and not
knowing what happened to them and stuff. It's just I
imagine it's the worst thing a person could go through. No, totally.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room guys.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Last week for Forensic Friday, we talked about dismembered body
parts and how we can identify if it was done
before after our person dies, and what happens when we
find a body part. And this week's Forensic Friday, I
don't know, I'll surprise you that we do it every Friday,
so stay tuned for that. The Gross Room is on
(17:24):
sale now for only twenty dollars for three hundred and
sixty five days of Gross so you'll be able to
have access to new articles daily and got almost six
years of material from the since twenty nineteen since we
started the Grossroom, so thousands of articles, videos, photos, and more. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Head over to the grossroom dot com now to sign up.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
All right, this is an interesting story about an unusual
location for childbirth.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, so this pregnant lady was forced to give birth
on a hospital room counts due to overcrowding issues at
the hospital because they weren't able to get her a
bed in between her water breaking, her getting admitted and
then you know.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
The final push. I guess, yeah, I that's that's unusual.
I feel like when I had Lillian, that kind of
happened that I went into the hospital and they had
I didn't even have a doctor from my practice deliver
because they had way too much stuff going on at
the time. But it wasn't enough that they weren't able
to give me a room and attend to me. I like,
(18:33):
just thinking about giving birth is just like an anxiety situation.
And then thank them telling you you don't have a
room and you're just like having to do it on
a couch, like in a side room. It's just a
little crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Well, she said they were told to stand in the
hallway after they were admitted, and like, I've obviously never
been in labor, but could you imagine being in labor
pain and them just been like, go stand over there
for a while.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah. I mean, it's definitely happens to people more often
in the emergency room when you go there and they're
so busy that they're like, oh, sometimes you have to
wait in the hallway or something like that. But no,
I can't imagine it. And it's it's actually crazy because
when when you hear the details of the case, it's
it's just they said that they had twenty four births
(19:20):
all together on that day, on July thirty first, and
at the time that she gave birth, there was like
seventeen other patients at the same time, and they said
they only had three employees and.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
After giving birth they still didn't have a bed for yeah,
which this is so ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
So I did, like, I did the math and figure
it out that if the birth date was July thirty first,
then the conception date would be around the first week
of November. So it's just interesting because you would think
like it would be Christmas or Thanksgiving like holidays that
statistically like more people have sex.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Well maybe they're getting busy on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Halloween, yeah exactly, or Day of the Dead. So yeah,
that's a lot. But what's interesting about this article, which
is definitely why I wanted to talk about this story
for you guys, because the nurses were interviewed and were
just like, we're so short staffed, but like who would
want to work here under these conditions? And this took
(20:22):
place in Australia, So you're like, okay, because a lot
of times people who especially who work in American healthcare
and everything, will say that it's terrible. Mostly every nurse
is just like, there's some nurses that are like, oh,
I get treated so well at my job, but most
that I've talked to are just like, you wouldn't believe
how short staff we are, and this and that, and
(20:43):
it's happening in Australia too.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Well. Obviously this is not the same level, but I
think we could say this about a lot of jobs
because not to sound like a boomer, but it's like,
why would you work at a store or something when
you could just go online and like play video games
on YouTube and make a bunch of money, right, even
as dumb as yesterday, I went to Staples to do
a ups return and there was literally two people working
(21:07):
in the entire store, and there was a bunch actually
the most people I've ever seen Staples of my life
now that I think about it, And everybody was waiting
so long because they just can't get anybody to work there.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
The standards too at stores have changed so much. I mean,
I understand I'm getting older, so things are going to
be different than the nineties when I started working, but
like when I started working at ACME when I was
sixteen years old. I had to take a test to
learn every single piece of produce that might have came
(21:42):
across my belt. You know what I mean. I'm serious,
Like they like I didn't know the difference between like
a boss pair and a Bartlet pair, all this stuff,
Like they would just give you like an end dive
and be like what is this without the sticker? Like
you had to know all this stuff. And now it's
like fast forward to twenty twenty five, where we're supposed
(22:04):
to be getting better, right, every year we're supposed to
be getting better. It's like I'm at the mall yesterday
and got like the girls like a little sweatsuit thing,
and she says, we don't have any bags, and I
was like, you don't have any bags, like a different size.
It wasn't like I didn't have a size. No, there's
no bags in the entire store. So I have to
walk through the mall holding a sweatsuit. Like there's just
(22:28):
no standards anymore. It's just outrageous.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Can we bring it back to your produces? Why can't
Why can't you tell the difference between Parsley and Silandro
at forty six years old.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Because I don't like look at the actual leaf. I
always This is Maria saying this because one day I
cooked like some Italian meal that called for like a
lot of parsley, like a half of a cup of
fresh parsley, and I put cilantro because I had both
of them in the fridge and they were just like
not paying attention. I didn't. I was just like, why
(23:03):
tastes the same, Like something is not right about it.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The best is I was eating it and I was like,
weird choice.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
When the next day I just couldn't pin I don't
have that thing that cilantro tastes like I think it
tastes good, but like Gabe was just like, yeah, I
mean it tastes like. He didn't say anything, and I'm
just like, okay, but pop Pop apparently hates it. And
he didn't say nothing. He hate it. Like I was like, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
But he's the king of I hate it, but I
need it anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, So clearly I didn't. I didn't. I didn't look
at come on, like flat leaf parsley and cilantro look
similar if you just like have them in a bag
in your fridge and you're just like not paying, but.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
You can sell the dice between a bosque pair.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Oh yeah, yes, they're they're definitely different. Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
A new study has come out revealing that people who
use their phones on the toilet are almost twice as
likely to develops.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, so this story is this story again is a change.
There's all these cool things that are going to be
happy I want to say cool, but cool things that
are going to be changing with anatomy and physiology of
humans because of technology. And like you know, back in
the day, when you used to sit on the toilet
and have to poop, you would have to like grab
(24:22):
your mom's shampoo bottle and look at it. That was
like your entertainment, right, And now it's like people have
their phone in their hand all the time and they
end up zoning out and sitting on the toilet way
longer than they ever did, to the point where in
this study they said, on average, a human sits on
the toilet for two whole days of their life every year.
(24:43):
That's like forty eight hours in a year on the
toilet and it's just not good. The increased pressure just
increases your chances of getting hemorrhoids forty six percent, which
is a significant number. That's a huge number. So they're
just advising, like, hey, don't bring your phone in because
(25:03):
it's true. Though, like you're like, let me just check
my Instagram and then all of a sudden, it's been
ten minutes because you saw a couple of your friends
posted things, and you get sucked in and it's happening
that people are sitting on the toilet way longer, and
it's just not good.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It's so funny you brought that up that we're gonna
be seeing like changes over time with technologies, because I
was listening to this podcast the other day and they
were talking about that documentary on Netflix that just came
out about the mom who was cyberbullying her daughter, you know,
and the one girl on it made the joke like
they should have known it was her to begin with
because she had technic.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah, that's great. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I mean, as a victim of hemorrhoids this year, I
would say, it's not something you're gonna want.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
It's horrible. It does not feel very good at all.
And it is horrible because because it's not only paint,
it's like that weird, painful and itching and like in
a place where you really should itching. It's so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I hope it never happens to be ever again.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, I mean it will for sure. So but you
have to make sure that you're not are you sitting
on the toilet too long with your phone?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I really consider myself to be a quick pooper. Like
when my husband goes in there, he's in there for
like thirty minutes, Like I could be in and out
in two minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, but I am looking at my phone. So I
don't know. I really don't think I'm as bad as
other people. Yeah, I mean, I guess in this article
they just advise that, you know what's crazy. Actually this
study seem to have been done on people that were
over forty five years old. Yeah, what about us young people?
(26:43):
That's what I'm saying, Like, I feel like if and
it's it's just different because obviously, like the older you get,
the increased chance of hemorrhids you have. But like when
this generation that's had a phone their entire life gets
to be this age, it's like, I don't even know
it's gonna it's just gonna be so much worse. And
just to think about.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
That well, even when I told you I had it,
you didn't believe me. And then I had to send
you a picture.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Because you're you're not a risk factor like you don't.
You don't, you don't have.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Maybe this is the conversation we need to have because
maybe people in their mid forties and up or the
primary or at primary age to be at risk for this.
But now, since my generation is totally addicted to their phones,
we're going to be seeing it in a lot of
younger people. Because what did I have happening that made
me at risk for it?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Well, I just wanted to make because it's because you
constipation sitting all day, there's there's certain things that could
cause it for sure. I just wanted to make sure
it wasn't like a tumor on your ass that you
thought you had, you know, like, since you weren't going
to get it checked out, I don't want you ignoring
you could get you could get cancer like there. So
(27:57):
I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That it definitely was it. It looked like the textbook
picture of hemrod.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Okay, last story in this beach town in Florida, there's
this giant pirate statue, and I guess there have been
arguments about relocating it. But a couple of weeks ago,
this meeting was set to take place to discuss if
they were going to move it to this history museum
or not. And just a couple of hours before, this
council member is saying they were alerted by a quote
credible source that human remains were in the statue, in
(28:29):
the peg leg and what is it called peg leg
pete the statue just so.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, And apparently they got there without the person's, without
whoever owns the statue's permission.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
So they were saying that, right, But I found another
article that came out more recently, I think, only like
five or six days ago, that said they have to
come across emails that city officials have known about the
remains being in the statue for at least a year,
and that they belong to a former pirate club member.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
So I'm like, what makes you say, like, Okay, when
I die, I want to be put in the peg
leg of what's the name of this thing, peg leg Pete.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
If you're in a pirate club, I'd say you're probably
interested in pirates, and that's maybe where the interest comes from.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
They have to have permission because like, if this thing's
a statue, there had to be a way to access
the inside of it to put the ashes in it.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
That's what I'm saying, Like how did it get in there?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
But at the same time, they want to move it
because it's it hasn't been the whole very well. What
this is the thing? Like why do people got to
be so dramatic? Just frickin move the statue, take the
bag ashes, stick them back in and call it a day.
Like why why is there have to be meetings about
this quote?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Because it would diminish the significance of having the cremated
remains of a former Pirate Club member.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
But it's going to be in with the pirate This
this is the problem. It's it's been there.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
For at least forty years so and it's not holding
up very well. So it's becoming a risk to public safety.
Like the thing is crumbling, which makes me think there
might have been a hole in it somewhere for them
to dump the remains in, and that's maybe why.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Noverybody needs it. So you're saying that the Pirate Club
is still maintaining that location, but they're moving the statue.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
They want to move the statue into a history museum.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I think that the guy would want to be in
the history museum in the statue. Still, he said pirate.
That's he wanted to be in the pirate. Let him
be in the pirate. There's no there's no listen, there's
still going to be a whole entire memorial of that.
And he cared about the statue not being at the
actual location of the club. Or you could get real
(30:47):
creative and get the bag and split it in half
and put half of it in the Pirate and the
other half at the club with a little plaque.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I just don't understand what all the drama is behind it.
It's like, just move it. It's not I don't don't
think it's that big a deal. If it's gonna crumble
like so, you'd rather have it completely fall apart, then
just move.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
It next to cand that they could just ask to
make it. It's the one to make a stage difficult.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
This just seems like a non problem really, I mean,
I just don't understand it. Okay, guys, we are going
to be at the Wildlife CSI at Lake Tobias, Wildlife
Park on October third, just as special guests. We're not presenters,
but it's going to be an awesome experience, of course
because it's hosted by the Mayor of Crime con herself,
(31:33):
Cheryl mc McCollum. And then on October eighteenth, we are
going to be at the Dark Side New Jersey Convention
in Edison. Also today's nine to eleven. So thank you
to all of our first responder and anybody that served
on that day, because I can't even imagine how horrible
that was.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, it's such a it's just such a crazy day.
Every single year, there's a certain vibe in the air
because it's just that time of year where it's not
really summer, but it's not really fall, but you could
tell the time like it's changing. And I just remember
that day was just it was just one of these
perfect early fall days and it's just there's just a
(32:12):
certain vibe in the air that always just makes me
think about that terrible, terrible day and just you know,
all of the firefighters that are still dealing with and
other first responders too that are all that are dealing
with the cancers that they got helping on that day.
Still to this day. It's just like a reminder every
(32:32):
single year of of it. You just can't ever move
on from it, you know, it's just terrible. All right.
