Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Everyone. Welcome to Mother News Death. On today's episode, we're
going to talk about a TikToker who faked cancer and
later apologized for it, a nurse who killed his patience
to lighten his workload, what happens if a person poops
her pants while on an airplane, a hotel worker cleaning
the bed sheets in a hot tub, and we'll learn
what a cadaver otter is. All that and more on
(00:44):
today's episode.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
All right, First, TikToker Brittany Miller is apologizing for faking
cancer years ago. So she said, back in twenty seventeen,
she was depressed, suicidal, and confused after losing her job
and her partner, and that's when she told a friend
she had cancer. Then that friend went on to create
a fundraiser for her, but after finding out that many
people had donated to it, that's when she said she.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Pulled the plug.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh that's really nice of her. Why I feel really
bad for this.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Why wouldn't you just ever I just can't imagine ever
casually in conversation telling somebody like, oh, and by the way,
I've cancer.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
The craziest thing is is that she has is she
just coming out and say this because she has like
millions of followers, and it's just funny that so many
people would just still continue to support her when she
did something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I'm so this incident in twenty seventeen happened before she
got popular on the internet. So I'm wondering if now
somebody was like, I know what you did, and this
blackmail says out her, because why would you be forthcoming
with this information if it happened when you were nobody
and nobody probably even knew it happened.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, I mean, that's you're one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So unless she just really wanted the attention, I mean,
she was in TMC and we're talking about her, so
like it was effective in some type of way. But
the hate she's going to get from this, I feel
like somebody had to be like, I'm coming for you,
and she just did it to get ahead of it.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It kind of wasn't that long ago, no, you know
what I mean, Like I don't know, I do respect.
I guess that she's being honest about it because and
maybe like maybe someone's not blackmailing her. Maybe she's legit,
like someone's going to find this and it's going to
come out, so I want to get ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, let me say this. So she said she never
took the money. However, this article says she was convicted
of a crime for quote fraud by false representation had
to pay a fine. So I'm thinking, what was she
charged with if she didn't take anything, because technically she
didn't do anything wrong if she never accepted the funds
and her friend started the fundraiser. So I think there's
(03:01):
a little more to the story. And this has been
coming up a lot on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
I know everybody that doesn't watch Bravo is going to
be totally uninterested in this. But this one housewife on
there had an incident of fraud that happened years ago
and it just came up on the show, and she's
accusing one of the women of digging up information on
(03:21):
her and publicly saying it on camera. Although I don't
think these women understand that there are these Bravo obsessed
people that spend all night long looking up their names
and if there were any legal trouble and finding the
filings and publishing them on Reddit. So I don't think
your friend has to release set information when all these
court documents are public record and you have millions of
(03:42):
viewers of your show and people could find it themselves
very easily.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, I mean if you made me a go find
me and then I just said, you know what, I'm
lying about this, like go just I'm not going to
take the money. I guess the thing is if you
have a got go fundme and we don't even know,
like they said people donated to it. Was it fifty
dollars or was it fifty thousand dollars? Like it could
(04:08):
have been a lot of money, But like, how do
you Is there a button on GoFundMe to hit refund
and just send it back to all the random people
who sent you money, you know what I mean? Like
what if it was thousands of people? I don't know
how you give people their money back. I mean, unless
she took it and just donated it to like a
cancer society or something like that.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I just don't.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Understand how anybody's ever in a position to say outright,
I have cancer.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I understand, Oh it happens.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
It happened, So I know someone that did it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
No I know, but I'm saying, like, let's say you
got lunch with your friend and you're like the doctors
you're worried about me.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
They think I might have cancer.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
How do you immediately go to I have cancer?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Would you have nothing? You have nothing? Even when you
got yours.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Because she was depressed and suicidal.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You knew you had skin cancer, right, and I knew
you weren't telling me like you were. You were very
delicate about how it was handled right, and it got
taken care of it. It's all good right now, But
you still aren't like being the number one cancer spokesperson
even though you did have it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Well, I think that most people don't. They don't want to, like,
they don't want to talk about it. It's like a
sore spot.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's just so weird that people do it and then
they start I mean, I don't think she took it
as far as falsifying reports and tests and everything, but
I always think about your girl, Belle Gibson. And then
there's another housewife incident where one.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Of their black girls. But the girl that I know
definitely definitely faked stuff. And I don't want to be
the one to point it out that it was not real.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But how did she get out of it? Did she
say I was misdiagnosed or she just.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Kind of went I don't really know what happened because
she was like a like a friend of a friend
of a friend kind of thing. So I didn't, like,
I didn't get involved with it, but I know that
like that they broke, they like parted ways all, like
you know what I mean, it just is it's just
like a really it's it's just a really bizarre thing
(06:10):
that people do.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I just can't imagine me something up like that.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It's so insane and it's it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I mean with this particular woman, I mean, she was
going through mental prop like it was helping her feel
I don't know how that makes you feel better. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
There's one thing if a doctor tells you you have
cancer and then you go to like another doctor and
they're like, no, you've been misdiagnosed.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Right, it's the same thing of like that chick that
said that she was falsely kidnapped, right, Like not that chick.
Like multiple people do that too. It's just like you
like the attention you get, but it's not real because
you're not really having it. Is really bizarre, and a
(06:56):
lot of people do it, which is even weirder. I
wouldn't say it's a lot of people, but people do it.
More than one person has done it. Yeah, I don't
know if it's like a daily occurrence, but I mean
people fake their pregnancy. That we just talked about a
woman that faked their whole pregnancy and then had a
fake baby, right.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That was the outrageous, what with the doll okay? In Germany,
a nurse has been sentenced to life in prison after
killing ten patients and trying to kill at least twenty
seven to lighten his workload.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So I guess he was giving he So I guess
it's important to say that this guy was a palliative
care nurse, so was already taking care of like hospice,
end of life people and had access to drugs to
give to these people, and he was juicing them up
with extra morphine and benzodiazepine, which is a central nerve
(07:49):
assistant depressant. So it could cause a person to stop
breathing because it depresses your respiratory centers. But I'm not
exactly sure honestly, how they figured it out. Did they
talk about that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
They really didn't, and then they were saying, so they
know he killed ten and tried to kill twenty seven,
and then they're saying they have to exhume other patients
now to see if he possibly killed them.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Two Yeah, and I guess pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
The thing is tricky is that the toxicology would probably
already show those drugs in a people's system because they're
on it anyway, So it would just have to depend
on if they were able to determine the levels of it,
if it was given too much of it, you know.
But I'm just thinking about when, like when my grandmam
was on hospice, there was a guy come into the
(08:41):
house and like given her those meds and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
At some point, I mean, like we knew that she
was dying, so it was just like any at any
point he could have just given her too much. And
how would we really ever know, you know, Like people
that are usually in that situation are kind of at
the end of life anyway. That's why that's why they're
there most of the time. So something must have happened
(09:09):
that clued people in to check to do. I don't
know if it was like an autopsy or.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm not sure exactly how they caught him, but his
personality might have been a major red flag too. They
were saying he suffered from a personality disorder, he had
never shown any compassion for the patients and had voiced
nover more during the trial at all. And then they
also said when he was faced with patients who needed
a higher level of care, he only showed irritation and
a total lack of empathy.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So isn't that amazing that he's a nurse and has
been working as a nurse for several years and someone
hired him and didn't pick up on that, not.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Several he's been a nurse since two thousand and seven,
he's worked at this place since twenty twenty And they're
saying the incidents took place between December twenty twenty three
and May twenty twenty four. How do you know they
did not go beyond that five.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Well, so that's that's why they're exhuming bodies, because I'm
sure it just wasn't like a brief. You don't know
you're not compassionate when you are graduating nurse school or before. No,
I know I told you, like I I mean I
did initially go to school to be a nurse, and
then I immediately like, thank god I found fell into
the lab and stuff because as soon as I started
(10:18):
taking blood from people and they were like all this stuff,
dealing with somebody like me that yes, yes, like mega
eye roll, I know, no compassion for that whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Don't forget that. We don't cover all of the stories
of the week on Mother Knows Death unfortunately, but we
are able to cover so much more in the Gross Room,
so check that out. We have a lot of interesting
medical and true crime cases, not only current ones, but
also ones that are historical, like one that I posted
(11:06):
this week from the nineties. I call that historical. But
it's cool because a lot of these cases have the
crime scene and autopsy photos available for us to look at.
And even if you get disinterested in what's currently going on,
there's just always something to talk about in the Grossroom.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Head over to the Grossroom dot com now to sign up.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
All right, why is it that, just like poop is
so funny all the time?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Would you call this a shituation? Okay?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
ADULTA passenger has taken to Reddit to write about their
five and a half hour flight next to a quote
human biohazard, where this person claims they sat next to
a person who not only smelled terrible, but ended up
shitting themselves on the flight, leaving poop smerors on the seat.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Okay, listen, I don't really consider that a biohazard exposure.
Like when you go on an airplane, you have to
take into consideration that you're on there with a couple
hundred people and things happen right Like in your day,
people throw up, people shit. How many times have you
(12:14):
just been like I have to shit and I have
to shit right now, Like you don't have all the
time the clocks. Plus if you overdo it with the sorbital.
That's something we were talking about in the gross room too,
chewing gum. Learn my lesson the hard way eating a
whole pack of gum anyway. Side note, Yeah, I mean
(12:34):
they're just people are humans and have human issues, right,
and it's just something you have to take into consideration,
Like do you honestly think that the guy wanted to
shit his pants? That probably is up there with the
most embarrassing thing that could happen to a person. Think
about you're on a plane and you stand up and
you have poop on your pants and it smells terrible,
Like the guy didn't want to shit his pants, you
(12:57):
just did. So you're sitting next to him, and yes,
it's it is gross and it's disgusting, but you smelling
poop isn't a biohazard. It's just not no, And she's this.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know if this was a male or female
who wrote the post, but the person said that the
person had mobility issues and couldn't get up, which also
meant they were trapped in the window seat the entire time,
and flight attendants did keep coming over to check on
the man.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
But so that's cool. So her solution was, or his
solution was to do a Reddit post, and now this
guy has to read his name. All well, we don't
know who the passenger was, but still imagine being like
the handicapped guy that shit his pants on the plane.
And then you're reading the news and you're seeing that
your situation is now all over the place and people
are like, ew, come on, dude.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Like there's just ridiculous, so many ridiculous elements of the story.
So then they say they're getting off the plane, and
the flight attendant says, I'm so sorry you had to
deal with that. Why didn't you ask for a mask?
Why if you knew the situation was happening, why didn't
you just try to discreetly behind the man, try to
fastest persons?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
We is still know the responsibility.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And then this person bitching too because Delta only offered
them five thousand miles or something, which is only equivalent
to fifty dollars, and they wanted more. And I'm like, why,
how is this Delta's problem?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
How is anybody's problem? It's just like so dumb, Like
I understand that shit smells bad, but like maybe I
just don't have I just don't have tolerance for the
It just reminds me of the kids, like when they're
just like, oh my god, You're just like okay, you
could make yourself not smell stuff, just like turn it off.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
My question for listeners who work in the aviation industry.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is why why do you work in the aviation industry?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
If this happens and they have more passengers getting on
for the next flight, like, what did they do? Did
they just wipe it off? Does the chair have to
be covered and until they could properly wash it. What
happens because they're not they're not going to cancel the
whole flight over poopsmar to being on one chair. But
(15:08):
what do they do because they only have fifteen minutes
to clean up?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
They probably have to close it down or they have
maybe like a seat cover. I'm just very no, they
they'd have to close it down, like because it would smell.
I mean, it's probably the same if someone vomits all over,
which I guess, I guess if you know, if it
gets in the seat cushion and stuff like it, It's
just it's probably very easy for them to pop in
(15:34):
a seat or fix the seat maybe though I don't know,
but we had that story on Tuesday about the we
need we need our flight attendant people to contact us,
like the people the woman that was given a guy
a blowjob on the plane, Like what see that?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
To me?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Is that to me is just like a totally different
situation than this, especially I just I don't know, I
must have missed the part that the guy was handicap
like that just makes me feel awful for him. Actually no, absolutely,
it's just like makes you know when you get that
feeling that like your heart breaks for somebody, Like that's terrible.
I feel so terrible about that.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, like what did this person want this person to do?
I don't I don't know. It's a complicated situation to
be in.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You know what else I forgot to mention in Tuesday's episode, though,
was that they had said something in that article that
they often see people doing sexual things at nighttime and
they will leave them alone if it's not bothering anybody else,
or if there's like no children present and it's in
the dark, it concealed better.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I've been on a plane a couple times in my
life when I was younger, like a teenager, that I've
been on one of those red Eye type flights and
literally there were two other people on the plane. It
was like the weirdest thing. You could put the arms
up and lay across the seat. There's just no one
on the plane. So I guess in that situation, if
there's two people like getting at it, like what are you?
(16:57):
Why would you get come on?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Like they just.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
See some interesting stuff. Honestly, we need one of them
needs to like write a book about all the juicy
things that happen on planes.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
The first book I want is from cleaning staff at
Vegas hotel rooms. They must see the weirdest things ever.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
And then we need.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Flow up pools filled with baby oil.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And then we need Confessions of a flight Attendant And
honestly they're living Sacy all right. Guests at a hotel
in Fargo, North Dakota, we're shocked after seeing one of
the workers put bed sheets in the hot tub when
other people were swimming in the pool right next to it.
And the worst part is the hotel defended as saying
that's how they remove hard or stains from the sheets.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I mean, it is a big thing of bleach water.
It's just because listen, it's frowned the pond. But it's fine.
I mean, I've done and I'm getting ready to do again.
These like cross country trips. They're my favorite thing ever.
And I think part of my favorite part of these
driving across the country is when you know I've lived
(17:59):
on the East Coast my whole life and it's just
so overpopulated. It takes like what my mom lives a
half hour away, and it takes two hours to get
to our house because it's just like so overpopulated here.
When you go out that way like South Dakota and
North Dakota, there's nothing happening there and there's some weird shit.
From my perspective, it's like, I'm like, how the people
(18:20):
live like this? There's nobody here, there's no target for
for five hours in between, and just like it's I like,
I like experiencing different ways of life people live. So
I've been to some hotels on my on my travels
that have been like a little ceed the people working there,
(18:42):
like aren't all there, you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
So well, I was cracking up when I saw it
was in Fargo, because.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I mean there's an entire movie and television series based
on how weird that area is exactly so surprising.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
But like really in theory, I know that it's disturbing
and stuff, and I don't even I'm more disturbed that
there are stains that are that bad that they have
to put it in bleed. It's probably blood, because like
what else would it be that wouldn't come out in
the washing machine.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's delta shit stains, you don't But.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Also I'm just kind of like if you had if
someone got their period or something on a on a
bed sheet, like just throw it out like what or
just like you can't just pour a bleach on it
before you put it in the wash, Like actually sticking
them in there is just it's kind of bizarre.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well, then they especially be it seems extremely wasteful because
then they said, first of all, they're only supposed to
do it when the pool is closed, which according to
this footage, it just certainly was not because people are swimming. Well,
this man is literally like with a broomstick and a
cauldron sheets and that.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Do you imagine like that this like family is like
in they're like swimming, and then they're just like, oh
my god, Like if I saw that, I'd be like,
couldn't get out of the pool fast enough dry my
hand off to record it?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Right Like it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Reminded me of Ben Willy walk up and it keeps
towing stuff with biting shoving it down the stick. But
then they said they're always supposed to do it with
the pools closed, and they're always supposed they're supposed to
drain the.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Hot tub after they're done.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So don't you think that seems extremely wasteful to have
to drain the hot tub every single time.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, of course they don't.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Confessions of the what is it, the housekeeping crew too.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
See, I actually I don't want I don't want to
know the housekeeping ones because when I lay my head
down on a pillow in a sheet, especially when you're
traveling like that and you don't have that much stuff
with you. It's not like you could bring your own
pillows and stuff. It's just like, I don't want to
think about that. I don't want to think that there
was ever blood on it and that it was washed
(20:52):
in the hot tub with whatever nastiness is going on there.
Like it's just better unseen.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Totally, okay. Florida officials are now using the world's first
cadaver otter to help find human remains in the water.
It's just kind of cool, actually, it is cool. It's
like for when, especially when people go missing in water
and divers are not able to get into certain parts
because the water is too cloudy or they're not able
(21:20):
to access it. They have trained in otter to be
able to find a body. And this otter has found
what five bodies. His name is Splash, so you can
call name, qualify name. Splash has gone on twenty missions
so far and has found four bodies, which is insane
to think about.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, I mean, obviously they're they're probably not as sensitive
as dogs, but I mean that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I think kind of like water dogs.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I don't I never really thought about it. I don't know.
They smell gross. I think it's their food that smells though,
because they eat like fish and they just have that
weird fish but then they're like furry, so it just
grosses me out.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I'm interested to see if they start using them more
often and how successful they are. Yeah, Splash seems to
be doing a good job. So all right, guys. Tomorrow

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Everyone. Welcome to Mother News Death. On today's episode, we're
going to talk about a TikToker who faked cancer and
later apologized for it, a nurse who killed his patience
to lighten his workload, what happens if a person poops
her pants while on an airplane, a hotel worker cleaning
the bed sheets in a hot tub, and we'll learn
what a cadaver otter is. All that and more on
(00:44):
today's episode.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
All right, First, TikToker Brittany Miller is apologizing for faking
cancer years ago. So she said, back in twenty seventeen,
she was depressed, suicidal, and confused after losing her job
and her partner, and that's when she told a friend
she had cancer. Then that friend went on to create
a fundraiser for her, but after finding out that many
people had donated to it, that's when she said she.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Pulled the plug.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh that's really nice of her. Why I feel really
bad for this.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Why wouldn't you just ever I just can't imagine ever
casually in conversation telling somebody like, oh, and by the way,
I've cancer.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
The craziest thing is is that she has is she
just coming out and say this because she has like
millions of followers, and it's just funny that so many
people would just still continue to support her when she
did something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I'm so this incident in twenty seventeen happened before she
got popular on the internet. So I'm wondering if now
somebody was like, I know what you did, and this
blackmail says out her, because why would you be forthcoming
with this information if it happened when you were nobody
and nobody probably even knew it happened.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, I mean, that's you're one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So unless she just really wanted the attention, I mean,
she was in TMC and we're talking about her, so
like it was effective in some type of way. But
the hate she's going to get from this, I feel
like somebody had to be like, I'm coming for you,
and she just did it to get ahead of it.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It kind of wasn't that long ago, no, you know
what I mean, Like I don't know, I do respect.
I guess that she's being honest about it because and
maybe like maybe someone's not blackmailing her. Maybe she's legit,
like someone's going to find this and it's going to
come out, so I want to get ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, let me say this. So she said she never
took the money. However, this article says she was convicted
of a crime for quote fraud by false representation had
to pay a fine. So I'm thinking, what was she
charged with if she didn't take anything, because technically she
didn't do anything wrong if she never accepted the funds
and her friend started the fundraiser. So I think there's
(03:01):
a little more to the story. And this has been
coming up a lot on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
I know everybody that doesn't watch Bravo is going to
be totally uninterested in this. But this one housewife on
there had an incident of fraud that happened years ago
and it just came up on the show, and she's
accusing one of the women of digging up information on
(03:21):
her and publicly saying it on camera. Although I don't
think these women understand that there are these Bravo obsessed
people that spend all night long looking up their names
and if there were any legal trouble and finding the
filings and publishing them on Reddit. So I don't think
your friend has to release set information when all these
court documents are public record and you have millions of
(03:42):
viewers of your show and people could find it themselves
very easily.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, I mean if you made me a go find
me and then I just said, you know what, I'm
lying about this, like go just I'm not going to
take the money. I guess the thing is if you
have a got go fundme and we don't even know,
like they said people donated to it. Was it fifty
dollars or was it fifty thousand dollars? Like it could
(04:08):
have been a lot of money, But like, how do
you Is there a button on GoFundMe to hit refund
and just send it back to all the random people
who sent you money, you know what I mean? Like
what if it was thousands of people? I don't know
how you give people their money back. I mean, unless
she took it and just donated it to like a
cancer society or something like that.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I just don't.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Understand how anybody's ever in a position to say outright,
I have cancer.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I understand, Oh it happens.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
It happened, So I know someone that did it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
No I know, but I'm saying, like, let's say you
got lunch with your friend and you're like the doctors
you're worried about me.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
They think I might have cancer.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
How do you immediately go to I have cancer?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Would you have nothing? You have nothing? Even when you
got yours.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Because she was depressed and suicidal.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You knew you had skin cancer, right, and I knew
you weren't telling me like you were. You were very
delicate about how it was handled right, and it got
taken care of it. It's all good right now, But
you still aren't like being the number one cancer spokesperson
even though you did have it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Well, I think that most people don't. They don't want to, like,
they don't want to talk about it. It's like a
sore spot.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's just so weird that people do it and then
they start I mean, I don't think she took it
as far as falsifying reports and tests and everything, but
I always think about your girl, Belle Gibson. And then
there's another housewife incident where one.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Of their black girls. But the girl that I know
definitely definitely faked stuff. And I don't want to be
the one to point it out that it was not real.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But how did she get out of it? Did she
say I was misdiagnosed or she just.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Kind of went I don't really know what happened because
she was like a like a friend of a friend
of a friend kind of thing. So I didn't, like,
I didn't get involved with it, but I know that
like that they broke, they like parted ways all, like
you know what I mean, it just is it's just
like a really it's it's just a really bizarre thing
(06:10):
that people do.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I just can't imagine me something up like that.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It's so insane and it's it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I mean with this particular woman, I mean, she was
going through mental prop like it was helping her feel
I don't know how that makes you feel better. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
There's one thing if a doctor tells you you have
cancer and then you go to like another doctor and
they're like, no, you've been misdiagnosed.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Right, it's the same thing of like that chick that
said that she was falsely kidnapped, right, Like not that chick.
Like multiple people do that too. It's just like you
like the attention you get, but it's not real because
you're not really having it. Is really bizarre, and a
(06:56):
lot of people do it, which is even weirder. I
wouldn't say it's a lot of people, but people do it.
More than one person has done it. Yeah, I don't
know if it's like a daily occurrence, but I mean
people fake their pregnancy. That we just talked about a
woman that faked their whole pregnancy and then had a
fake baby, right.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That was the outrageous, what with the doll okay? In Germany,
a nurse has been sentenced to life in prison after
killing ten patients and trying to kill at least twenty
seven to lighten his workload.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So I guess he was giving he So I guess
it's important to say that this guy was a palliative
care nurse, so was already taking care of like hospice,
end of life people and had access to drugs to
give to these people, and he was juicing them up
with extra morphine and benzodiazepine, which is a central nerve
(07:49):
assistant depressant. So it could cause a person to stop
breathing because it depresses your respiratory centers. But I'm not
exactly sure honestly, how they figured it out. Did they
talk about that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
They really didn't, and then they were saying, so they
know he killed ten and tried to kill twenty seven,
and then they're saying they have to exhume other patients
now to see if he possibly killed them.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Two Yeah, and I guess pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
The thing is tricky is that the toxicology would probably
already show those drugs in a people's system because they're
on it anyway, So it would just have to depend
on if they were able to determine the levels of it,
if it was given too much of it, you know.
But I'm just thinking about when, like when my grandmam
was on hospice, there was a guy come into the
(08:41):
house and like given her those meds and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
At some point, I mean, like we knew that she
was dying, so it was just like any at any
point he could have just given her too much. And
how would we really ever know, you know, Like people
that are usually in that situation are kind of at
the end of life anyway. That's why that's why they're
there most of the time. So something must have happened
(09:09):
that clued people in to check to do. I don't
know if it was like an autopsy or.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm not sure exactly how they caught him, but his
personality might have been a major red flag too. They
were saying he suffered from a personality disorder, he had
never shown any compassion for the patients and had voiced
nover more during the trial at all. And then they
also said when he was faced with patients who needed
a higher level of care, he only showed irritation and
a total lack of empathy.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So isn't that amazing that he's a nurse and has
been working as a nurse for several years and someone
hired him and didn't pick up on that, not.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Several he's been a nurse since two thousand and seven,
he's worked at this place since twenty twenty And they're
saying the incidents took place between December twenty twenty three
and May twenty twenty four. How do you know they
did not go beyond that five.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Well, so that's that's why they're exhuming bodies, because I'm
sure it just wasn't like a brief. You don't know
you're not compassionate when you are graduating nurse school or before. No,
I know I told you, like I I mean I
did initially go to school to be a nurse, and
then I immediately like, thank god I found fell into
the lab and stuff because as soon as I started
(10:18):
taking blood from people and they were like all this stuff,
dealing with somebody like me that yes, yes, like mega
eye roll, I know, no compassion for that whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Don't forget that. We don't cover all of the stories
of the week on Mother Knows Death unfortunately, but we
are able to cover so much more in the Gross Room,
so check that out. We have a lot of interesting
medical and true crime cases, not only current ones, but
also ones that are historical, like one that I posted
(11:06):
this week from the nineties. I call that historical. But
it's cool because a lot of these cases have the
crime scene and autopsy photos available for us to look at.
And even if you get disinterested in what's currently going on,
there's just always something to talk about in the Grossroom.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Head over to the Grossroom dot com now to sign up.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
All right, why is it that, just like poop is
so funny all the time?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Would you call this a shituation? Okay?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
ADULTA passenger has taken to Reddit to write about their
five and a half hour flight next to a quote
human biohazard, where this person claims they sat next to
a person who not only smelled terrible, but ended up
shitting themselves on the flight, leaving poop smerors on the seat.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Okay, listen, I don't really consider that a biohazard exposure.
Like when you go on an airplane, you have to
take into consideration that you're on there with a couple
hundred people and things happen right Like in your day,
people throw up, people shit. How many times have you
(12:14):
just been like I have to shit and I have
to shit right now, Like you don't have all the
time the clocks. Plus if you overdo it with the sorbital.
That's something we were talking about in the gross room too,
chewing gum. Learn my lesson the hard way eating a
whole pack of gum anyway. Side note, Yeah, I mean
(12:34):
they're just people are humans and have human issues, right,
and it's just something you have to take into consideration,
Like do you honestly think that the guy wanted to
shit his pants? That probably is up there with the
most embarrassing thing that could happen to a person. Think
about you're on a plane and you stand up and
you have poop on your pants and it smells terrible,
Like the guy didn't want to shit his pants, you
(12:57):
just did. So you're sitting next to him, and yes,
it's it is gross and it's disgusting, but you smelling
poop isn't a biohazard. It's just not no, And she's this.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know if this was a male or female
who wrote the post, but the person said that the
person had mobility issues and couldn't get up, which also
meant they were trapped in the window seat the entire time,
and flight attendants did keep coming over to check on
the man.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
But so that's cool. So her solution was, or his
solution was to do a Reddit post, and now this
guy has to read his name. All well, we don't
know who the passenger was, but still imagine being like
the handicapped guy that shit his pants on the plane.
And then you're reading the news and you're seeing that
your situation is now all over the place and people
are like, ew, come on, dude.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Like there's just ridiculous, so many ridiculous elements of the story.
So then they say they're getting off the plane, and
the flight attendant says, I'm so sorry you had to
deal with that. Why didn't you ask for a mask?
Why if you knew the situation was happening, why didn't
you just try to discreetly behind the man, try to
fastest persons?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
We is still know the responsibility.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And then this person bitching too because Delta only offered
them five thousand miles or something, which is only equivalent
to fifty dollars, and they wanted more. And I'm like, why,
how is this Delta's problem?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
How is anybody's problem? It's just like so dumb, Like
I understand that shit smells bad, but like maybe I
just don't have I just don't have tolerance for the
It just reminds me of the kids, like when they're
just like, oh my god, You're just like okay, you
could make yourself not smell stuff, just like turn it off.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
My question for listeners who work in the aviation industry.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is why why do you work in the aviation industry?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
If this happens and they have more passengers getting on
for the next flight, like, what did they do? Did
they just wipe it off? Does the chair have to
be covered and until they could properly wash it. What
happens because they're not they're not going to cancel the
whole flight over poopsmar to being on one chair. But
(15:08):
what do they do because they only have fifteen minutes
to clean up?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
They probably have to close it down or they have
maybe like a seat cover. I'm just very no, they
they'd have to close it down, like because it would smell.
I mean, it's probably the same if someone vomits all over,
which I guess, I guess if you know, if it
gets in the seat cushion and stuff like it, It's
just it's probably very easy for them to pop in
(15:34):
a seat or fix the seat maybe though I don't know,
but we had that story on Tuesday about the we
need we need our flight attendant people to contact us,
like the people the woman that was given a guy
a blowjob on the plane, Like what see that?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
To me?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Is that to me is just like a totally different
situation than this, especially I just I don't know, I
must have missed the part that the guy was handicap
like that just makes me feel awful for him. Actually no, absolutely,
it's just like makes you know when you get that
feeling that like your heart breaks for somebody, Like that's terrible.
I feel so terrible about that.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, like what did this person want this person to do?
I don't I don't know. It's a complicated situation to
be in.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You know what else I forgot to mention in Tuesday's episode, though,
was that they had said something in that article that
they often see people doing sexual things at nighttime and
they will leave them alone if it's not bothering anybody else,
or if there's like no children present and it's in
the dark, it concealed better.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I've been on a plane a couple times in my
life when I was younger, like a teenager, that I've
been on one of those red Eye type flights and
literally there were two other people on the plane. It
was like the weirdest thing. You could put the arms
up and lay across the seat. There's just no one
on the plane. So I guess in that situation, if
there's two people like getting at it, like what are you?
(16:57):
Why would you get come on?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Like they just.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
See some interesting stuff. Honestly, we need one of them
needs to like write a book about all the juicy
things that happen on planes.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
The first book I want is from cleaning staff at
Vegas hotel rooms. They must see the weirdest things ever.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
And then we need.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Flow up pools filled with baby oil.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And then we need Confessions of a flight Attendant And
honestly they're living Sacy all right. Guests at a hotel
in Fargo, North Dakota, we're shocked after seeing one of
the workers put bed sheets in the hot tub when
other people were swimming in the pool right next to it.
And the worst part is the hotel defended as saying
that's how they remove hard or stains from the sheets.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I mean, it is a big thing of bleach water.
It's just because listen, it's frowned the pond. But it's fine.
I mean, I've done and I'm getting ready to do again.
These like cross country trips. They're my favorite thing ever.
And I think part of my favorite part of these
driving across the country is when you know I've lived
(17:59):
on the East Coast my whole life and it's just
so overpopulated. It takes like what my mom lives a
half hour away, and it takes two hours to get
to our house because it's just like so overpopulated here.
When you go out that way like South Dakota and
North Dakota, there's nothing happening there and there's some weird shit.
From my perspective, it's like, I'm like, how the people
(18:20):
live like this? There's nobody here, there's no target for
for five hours in between, and just like it's I like,
I like experiencing different ways of life people live. So
I've been to some hotels on my on my travels
that have been like a little ceed the people working there,
(18:42):
like aren't all there, you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
So well, I was cracking up when I saw it
was in Fargo, because.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I mean there's an entire movie and television series based
on how weird that area is exactly so surprising.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
But like really in theory, I know that it's disturbing
and stuff, and I don't even I'm more disturbed that
there are stains that are that bad that they have
to put it in bleed. It's probably blood, because like
what else would it be that wouldn't come out in
the washing machine.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's delta shit stains, you don't But.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Also I'm just kind of like if you had if
someone got their period or something on a on a
bed sheet, like just throw it out like what or
just like you can't just pour a bleach on it
before you put it in the wash, Like actually sticking
them in there is just it's kind of bizarre.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well, then they especially be it seems extremely wasteful because
then they said, first of all, they're only supposed to
do it when the pool is closed, which according to
this footage, it just certainly was not because people are swimming. Well,
this man is literally like with a broomstick and a
cauldron sheets and that.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Do you imagine like that this like family is like
in they're like swimming, and then they're just like, oh
my god, Like if I saw that, I'd be like,
couldn't get out of the pool fast enough dry my
hand off to record it?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Right Like it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Reminded me of Ben Willy walk up and it keeps
towing stuff with biting shoving it down the stick. But
then they said they're always supposed to do it with
the pools closed, and they're always supposed they're supposed to
drain the.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Hot tub after they're done.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So don't you think that seems extremely wasteful to have
to drain the hot tub every single time.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, of course they don't.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Confessions of the what is it, the housekeeping crew too.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
See, I actually I don't want I don't want to
know the housekeeping ones because when I lay my head
down on a pillow in a sheet, especially when you're
traveling like that and you don't have that much stuff
with you. It's not like you could bring your own
pillows and stuff. It's just like, I don't want to
think about that. I don't want to think that there
was ever blood on it and that it was washed
(20:52):
in the hot tub with whatever nastiness is going on there.
Like it's just better unseen.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Totally, okay. Florida officials are now using the world's first
cadaver otter to help find human remains in the water.
It's just kind of cool, actually, it is cool. It's
like for when, especially when people go missing in water
and divers are not able to get into certain parts
because the water is too cloudy or they're not able
(21:20):
to access it. They have trained in otter to be
able to find a body. And this otter has found
what five bodies. His name is Splash, so you can
call name, qualify name. Splash has gone on twenty missions
so far and has found four bodies, which is insane
to think about.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, I mean, obviously they're they're probably not as sensitive
as dogs, but I mean that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I think kind of like water dogs.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I don't I never really thought about it. I don't know.
They smell gross. I think it's their food that smells though,
because they eat like fish and they just have that
weird fish but then they're like furry, so it just
grosses me out.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I'm interested to see if they start using them more
often and how successful they are. Yeah, Splash seems to
be doing a good job. So all right, guys. Tomorrow
is the last day to enter the two year anniversary giveaway.
