Speaker 1 (00:08):
Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, we're
going to talk about a paranormal investigator who died while
on a haunted tour, a social media influencer who is
apologizing after she posted a weird video about announcing her miscarriage,
a tragic case out of France where a child dropped
and killed a baby, a mom who was doing the
(00:43):
unthinkable over Snapchat, and the alarming you report pre diabetes
in teenagers is on the increase. All that and more
on today's episode.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
All right, so let's start off with this story about
Dan Rivera. He was a paranormal investigator with the New
England Society for Psychic Research and they were doing a
tour where they showed off this haunted doll named Annabelle.
Have you ever seen this doll before?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I feel like I've heard of it, but I never
I didn't. I guess I thought it was a movie
and I didn't really think it was an actual thing.
I kind of want to see it now. It's like
you're crazy for it. It's in Gettysburg, it's close.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
No, I don't think it lives in Gettysburg. It's on traveling,
it's on tour. It's a raggedy an doll. It's like
a raggedy ant doll. And for those unfamiliar with the backstory,
because I just learned this writing the notes up today,
the doll was gifted to a nurse in nineteen sixty eight,
and shortly after her and her roommates started noticing all
this really weird stuff happening. This sad like the doll
(01:43):
was like lifting its own arms and all this weird
stuff started happening in their house. So a medium then
claimed it was possessed by a young girl named Annabel,
which is that why it goes by that name, And
since then it's been kept in this glass storage case
to contain its evil spirit. I mean, this doll is
sopo popular and inspired the movie The Conjuring, which is
probably one of the most popular horror movies of all time.
(02:06):
So this guy is taking this doll on tour and
they stop in Gettysburg, and then all of a sudden,
this guy, Dan Rivera, is found dead in his hotel room.
So of course all these people are freaking out. They
think this doll has something to do with his death,
but police are saying it's nothing suspicious and the doll
was not in his room at the time he was found.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, obviously the doll's going to make it look not suspicious.
I mean, come on, publicity for the tour it is,
but I know, like I want to go now, I
don't know. I it's kind of this is just kind
of like a nothing story honestly, Like I thought that
he was when you read the headlines, it's like he
(02:48):
was giving the tour and like drop dead, like in
front of the doll. It's like he was in a hotel.
It's just kind of like that's why I see the
correlation at all. Just I mean, he's young, he is,
so that is weird, and so they're saying it's suspicious
so or it's not suspicious. So they're basically they're telling
(03:08):
us right now that it doesn't look like anyone killed them,
so it could I want you to think that's exactly
so that leaves suicide natural or accident.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well, suicide I feel would be real suspicious.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
So I'm gonna I don't think that that's considered a
suspicious death though, like that if they can, if they
clearly think they know why he died. It means they're
not investigating anyone or any doll.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, the autopsy results are pending as of our recording,
so we don't know exactly what happened to him.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I agree with you. When I first read it, I
thought he was touring the place that had the doll
permanently on display, and then upon going in the room,
he died right like right there in front of him.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But so it's very misleading obviously because it's you can
sensationalize the shit out of this story. I mean, look
at the weird situation going on. But the tour is
not over. Tickets are still for sale for the remaining dates.
They're gonna just keep on track. I have far Scattysburg,
like four hours away. No, I think the rest of
(04:14):
the tour is in Connecticut or something. But I'm not
into like demonic possessed spirits, paranormal anything, So I guess
if you're into that stuff, this is just making the
tour all the more exciting because now it's like you've
connected the ultimate horror element with it. But let's remember
that a man did lose his life, so we'll see
(04:37):
exactly what happened. I guess in a couple of weeks
when the report comes out. All right, So influencer Curisa
Collins made a video announcing her and her husband were
expecting their twelfth child. However, days later, she had a miscarriage.
So she proceeds to post a video saying that she
had a miscarriage and wanted to let the fetal tissue
pass naturally without medical intervention. And then she uploaded a
(04:59):
video short after that of all of her other children
smacking her belly.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
This chick is so annoying, she wrote. This is what
she said when because obviously people were like, dude, this
doesn't look good, right, No, And she said, I don't
do clickbait. I don't do like controversy. I don't post
like that. And she just said something along the lines
(05:24):
of I didn't think anyone would look at it. I'm like, okay,
you have over a million followers between your social medias, Like,
aren't you posting videos because people are going to look
at them?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Even if you didn't have a million followers, aren't you
posting videos because you want people to look at them?
I that just annoyed, Like, come on, I guess I
was kind of confused by the timeline, Like, are people
trying to say that the kids were smacking her belly
and caused the miscarriage or they were smacking her belly
to help her have the natural what did she weard
(05:59):
it as fetal tissue past?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
What's called a missed abortion, Like the word abortion is
used in medicine, which just means a loss of pregnancy.
So an elective abortion is one that you think of
typically when a person goes to an abortion clinic and
gets it done, either for personal reasons or for medical purposes.
But a spontaneous abortion is what people consider to be
(06:25):
a miscarriage. A missed abortion is what's considered like the
the the fetus that you're pregnant with is no longer living,
but it hasn't passed out of the body yet, so
it's dead inside still. And I guess, like, like she said,
she was waiting to pass it, but I guess people
(06:46):
were thinking that she was having the kids like paunch
on her stomach to get it out.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The whole that's what it looks.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
The whole thing is freaking weird. It's just weird in general.
And like she's also been accused of having children for
her social media and stuff, and it's just like, I
don't know, Like listen, after You're never gonna convince me
that anybody wants to have twelve kids. You're out of
your fricking mind.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
After Ruby Frankie, and we see all these other people
on YouTube, the what's the one girl's name, in particular
Micah with the baby Huxley. Oh, the people have done it,
so of course you have to be critical. She's trying
to say this video was them just all comparing their
bellies after they ate dinner, and her just showing she
had a different type of belly because she had been
(07:31):
pregnant fifteen times. So I guess she had other miscarriages
as well along the way. But I don't know. I
think like it's like you posted it so you're gonna
get flack, and like that's what happens when you share
your life on the internet. Like saying you didn't post
it because you didn't think anybody was gonna see it
is like the most ridiculous thing saying it wasn't click paite.
She's just trying to share God's message and message, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, And she deleted all of the videos that have
to do with that pregnancy, that particular pregnancy, like it's
erased off the Internet, and it's just like, well, like,
I don't know what I mean, what do you think.
I think it's I think when you decide to have
a life and it doesn't matter. I know people that
(08:18):
do the you know on the different families that do
social media for their family. It's just a different kind
of way that you choose to live your life like that,
to have a camera in your kid's face at all
times and not really enjoying or any event the way
(08:39):
that you normally would, because everything is trying to capture
something in order to get clicks. Like that, I have
a hard time not thinking that it's bullshit, just just
based upon like you said, we covered that one, the
Huxley one, the Ruby Frankie one, the one with the
(09:02):
husband and wife that just lost their son that drowned
in the pool. It's like all of these people are
just living a different kind of life. And just because
you see maybe a twenty minute video every day on
their social media, we know because of our accounts that
(09:23):
it takes a lot more behind the scenes than just
what you're seeing. So imagine a mother that has twelve children,
that has her phone out all day to document different things.
It's just like, I don't know what you're thinking right now.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I just think it's unrealistic and I'm not definitely these
people just because they share their lives, don't They definitely
don't deserve to have terrible things like this happened to them, obviously,
But when you share every component of your life online,
you need to expect that not everybody's gonna be okay
with what you're doing, and people are gonna have questions
when you post unusual things like side to side videos
(10:02):
of you announcing your miscarriage and then a subsequent video
of your children smacking your stomach like it's it's an
unusual move. You have every right to do it, but
if people are questioning it and getting upset, you have
to expect that. It's just part of We share very
minimal parts of our life, but we are online. We
(10:22):
do this show online, we have video, we have audio,
we have lots of listeners, and we get criticism all
the time. It's just part of having an Internet presence.
So you just gotta expect it, and you can't get
defensive of it. It just is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
If you're it's it's not just specific to people like
the Kardashians, right, Like, when I look at the comments
that people write about them, I'm just like, oh my god,
Like how do they even mentally survive this? People are
so mean, right, just like raw, just me and me
(11:01):
and mean, And you just think, like, God, how did
how do they see all these people writing these terrible
things about them? And you just have to handle it
in a certain kind of way and just expect that,
like this is just life in general. Everyone's not gonna
love every single thing that you do. They're gonna love
a lot of things you do and not love things
you do. Like it you're a human, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I mean this chick that was on vander Pump Rules
just shared in her book that came out this week
that her husband had an affair when she was pregnant
with their child a couple of years ago, and on
his social media it's spammed with comments telling him to
kill himself, like all these horrible things, right, And you're like,
first of all, I'm not justifying what he did. I
(11:45):
think he's a total piece of shit. He has a
way worse background than what he did to her, But
I think, who is this person? They're on this show,
vander Pump Rules is a spinoff of Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills. Nobody really acknowledges that fact, but anyway, like
they're in this relationship. She was pregnant, he had an affair.
It's this huge bombshell in the Bravo world in the
(12:06):
last two weeks that he had this affair. But like
people are going on his page telling him to kill himself.
He's a horrible person. Like even though he did a
horrible thing, those things still you read that and you're like,
at what point does this person start questioning even being
alive after getting attacked like that on the internet? Right,
It's just it was kind.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Of thing that we could find a way to wean
this story into to our podcast that has nothing to
do with it, but the viral couple cheating at the
Coldplay concert.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Oh yeah, there was no way to bring this up.
You were yaging with any of.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Its here it fits here. I don't know. I just
like that that that was just like a phenomenon that
happened this week, and it's so crazy, like all the
stuff that comes out after it and everybody's response to
it and stuff. I just thought it was it was
pretty interesting. But our favorite part was the at the
(13:02):
Phillies game, they like recreated it with the Philly fanatic
and his girlfriend and it was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I mean, what are you thinking going to an arena
filled with tens of thousands of people? Like even if
you're in a private suite, other people can run in.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's actually really interesting to me because if you're the
whole thing is is very opposite of what you think
about people cheating. Honestly, Like you would think a guy
that's got that kind of a position that makes good
money would be like banging a girl that was that
(13:37):
was like really typically in those situations you see like
this like young hot girl, right, and then it was
like total opposite, like he was he was dating someone
his age and he was on an actual date. It
wasn't like a sexual I mean, I'm sure they're out sex,
but but I'm just saying it's just it's almost like
(13:58):
I would rather find out that my husband was just
like banging someone in a hotel instead of finding out
they were having like a relationship and going on dates
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, Like it looked really intimate and as the wife,
I'm sure that was horrific.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, like that would bother me more because it wasn't like, oh,
you're just like not getting satisfied at home or whatever.
Like it's just it's just like when you think about
finding out your husband cheating on you, it's like, oh,
he's getting a hotel room and doing this. It's not
like he's like he's on a date at the lamest
concert ever with some woman that's that's older than you, Like, well,
(14:32):
how do you think? It's just a very interesting thing
to look at?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
How do you think Mackenzie Bezos felt when it came
out that Jeff Bezos texted Laurence Sanchez, I just want
to wake up and read the newspaper with you every day.
It was like so losory, but also such.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Oh I don't know, I don't know any about this.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh that's like how I don't know how God exposed
because he texted her like that when they're a fair
God exposed. This text came out that he said he
couldn't he all all he wanted to do was wake
up and read the newspaper with her. So it's like,
not only are you having an affair, but then on
top of it, it's like some extra nerdy losory level
(15:11):
of intimacy, like you just want to wake up and
read the newspaper with this.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I just want to hold you and listen to cold
Play basically, So, and I found it like I been,
I guess, so I'm just like I thought they had
one song that was kind of okay, and like that
carried them into this like they're still touring twenty years later.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Thing one of your iconic moments was going to a
cold Blake concert with a friend against your will and
having a thing you made on a label maker that
said I hate Coldplay that you stuck on your shirt.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Who did I even go to? Who did I even do?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That? Way? It was truly like fifteen years ago somebody
I feel like you worked at the hospital with It was.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Like a co I barely I literally barely even remember that.
But that's that is definitely vintage nical, So I leave you.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah. So I don't know, like if people want to
blame cold Play for outing them, like no, some random
girl just happened to be videoing the screen when they
panned over to them, and then Chris Martin called them
out for he said, these people are either having an
affair or they're really shy. That girl posted it on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It blew up. So yeah, and then she was she
was just interviewed and said her her video got like
some insane number of views, like one hundred and million
views or something insane. And she said she didn't make
any money off of it because she's not you need
ten thousand, She's not like an influencer. Yeah, but which
(16:42):
is which is actually messed up? Because you other influencers
that are reposting the video are making money off of it.
That's what's messed up.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Well, that's just the nature of the game, baby, So
I don't know what what idiots, And kudos to the
Phillies team for doing that with the Philly fitata and
the female fanatic whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Does she have a name?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I thought the female fanatic was typically the fanatics mom,
but I guess in special skits. They rearranged the costuming
a little bit. But it was pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
All right, this is totally not like our subject matter whatsoever.
So no, but I mean, but we had to have
to talk about it because everybody else is this story
is actually disturbing this six year old child was left
wandering unattended in a children's hospital. He went into the
neonatal unit, grabbed a premature baby by her diaper, thinking
she was a doll, and ended up dropping her on
(17:35):
her head, and unfortunately the baby did not survive. Yeah,
so I guess they're they're in this unit, and obviously
babies are staying there for multiple days after they're born,
and a lot of the mothers were complaining to the nurses,
saying that this child was running around the floor, busting
into their rooms and stuff unattended, and it was something
(17:59):
that people were noticing around. I don't know. I mean,
this is in France, so I don't know what the
rules are there. I don't even know what the rules
are here, honestly, but I'm assuming that because sometimes you
have a baby and then you have other kids at home,
so you're gonna go visit the baby while the baby's
in the nick you and then you have your other
kid with you. But there has to be some kind
(18:21):
of rules as far as what that child is doing
when they're there.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I mean, well, especially if they kept reporting that the
child was consistently being a problem. Over a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I just can't even I can't imagine that. I mean,
we just had a similar story a few weeks ago
of that mom that also had a baby in the
nick you that accidentally got pulled onto the floor by
a nurse because one of the cords was attached to
the baby or something like that. And it's just like,
imagine going through a whole pregnancy, having the baby and
(18:54):
then having to leave the baby in the hospital like
that and all the heartache and scared, how scared you
are that the baby might not survive and stuff. Only
for some kid to come in and like pull your
kid on the floor like it's a doll and die
from a traumatic brain injury is just so devastating.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
No, I can't even imagine. And obviously they're going to
do an investigation and see what was going on with
the parents, what was going on with the staff, like,
because things like this cannot happen.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Guys, we have some great cases in the gross room.
This week, we have a really just terrible case of
a life's infestation. You just won't believe how bad this
guy had it to the point that it was making
him an EMEC. We also have a very unusual way
someone tried to deal with their constipation, like a very
unusual way which to put him in a lot of
(19:51):
trouble unfortunately. Also tomorrow, we're going to have our first
YouTube live session in the gross Room that we're going
to be doing at noon Eastern Standard time that is
only for Grocery members. Maria and I will be in
this live video as well as a live chat with
our members, so we are expecting it to be really awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, head over to the grosserroom dot com now to
sign up. So we had references story I think in
yesterday's episode right about somebody that was given bail for
a horrific crime. So, this mother of seven children has
been arrested after sending photos of her seven month old
to a man on Snapchat with a caption you can
(20:34):
fuck her for four hundred dollars half now rest after
I'll send you my address. I do live alone and
her dad is not in the picture. What the fuck
is going on with society today?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I don't know. She first tried to say that she
didn't do it, it wasn't her on the phone or whatever,
but they went back and they found this is staggering action,
especially to think that this is a mother of seven children. Okay,
between October twenty ninth in November one, which is what
three days, seven thousand messages were sent, including eighty one
(21:08):
of them that said, would you be interested in buying
my nudes so I could get my baby diapers? Like, clearly,
this situation that's happening is just a mom who is
I don't know if she's on drugs, I don't know
if she's living in poverty. Whatever it is is not
she's getting pregnant lots of times, having lots of babies,
and like not able to take care of her children
(21:31):
and probably not mentally sound to take care of her children.
Just based upon these couple of little things that we're hearing,
I mean, I can't even imagine having seven kids as
it is. It's just a lot. But then the dad's
not in the picture, so she's doing it alone. And
then she's still having time to message someone seven thousand
times within three days or multiple people on Snapchat while
(21:55):
she I guess back in October, well that was last year,
but like, how how is she doing all this and
still having a newborn baby as well? And then offering
her newborn child for sex to strangers for money. And
on top of that, like, is this the first time
(22:16):
that she's done this because she has seven kids?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, I'd say probably not. And I also say, like,
she clearly doesn't care about the child based on the content,
but also we could see that by how much time
she's spending on her phone. Actually, kudos to snapchat because
they flagged the message and sent it to the FBI,
who then looked into this.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, but it's still it still took the FBI. Not
to talk I'm not trying to talk shit on them.
I'm just saying, like the process, it took them ten
days to arrest her from when she sent that message,
and a lot could have happened in those ten days.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
No, definitely, I just and that's what's so scary too.
I was just impressed because you know, we see all
these social media companies and all like that. Obviously there's
a lot of good that could come, but all the
harm that also is associated with them, and the fact
that I feel like, genuinely, this is the first time
we've had a story where the app itself flagged disturbing
(23:10):
message and sent it to authorities and something was done
about it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I've never heard anything like that either. I mean, they
have technology. I'm telling you, like you guys know that,
I get blocked every single day for posting something. The
latest is the graphic violence about I wrote about a
person that cut their foot on a shard of porcelain
(23:35):
from a broken tile in a bathroom, and I said
that it cut their foot like it worked like an
incisional wound, like a like a sharp weapon or a
knife wound, and I got put in jail again and
Instagram I can't post live again for another year. Anyone
that works at Instagram or Meta would be greatly appreciated
to help us with this, but they, I guess their
(23:58):
technology is just picking up that I'm talking about something
similar to a knife wound. Than it just picks it
up and blocks it, which I'm okay with if it
works to help other situations like like the one we're
talking about right now. Obviously, I mean, this lady either
has to be on drugs or she has to have
some kind of mental illness, because there's no way anyone
(24:21):
in their right mind would ever say something or offer
something like this with one of their children. It's it
just it makes me want to throw up, honestly.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
So she's facing a sex trafficking charge and being held
on one hundred thousand dollars bill. Why is this even
an option for an offender like this?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
And it's low? I mean, like she should get her
children taken away, I mean forever, there should that should
be a thing too, Like there's no remediation, there's there's something,
there's something like fundamentally wrong with this woman. The kids
should get taken away and she should be put away.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Really no, I agree, And then they concluded it with
I mean basically, if she's convicted, she's facing ten to
thirty years in prison. But I agree with you. I
think definitely. We never want to see children go into
the system, obviously, but like no, I dot case. Yeah,
they're better off than with a mother that's trying to
pimp them out, which is fucking horrible. But it's also
(25:20):
unclear if the man who received the message is going
to face any charges because was it an unsolicited she
just send it to some guy she knew, or was
it a predator seeking these out? So I guess I
would say this is a case we're probably not going
to get updates on because ones like this that are
the most horrific are always the ones.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I just don't like this maximum ten to thirty years.
So she gets ten years. Let's say she gets ten
years and then what she serves five and then she's
out on good behavior, Like, we don't need someone like
this walking the streets and just having access to their children. Especially.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I actually forgot to bring this up in my discussion
in the Lamb funeral scandal. But did you notice when
reading that David Scott's got five years for all the
horrific things he was doing in the funeral home, and
then later on he got a five year sentence for
selling fraudulent bus tickets, same charge, Like, the same sentence
for two completely different crimes.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I mean, people don't get especially in certain states too.
It's like, like we were talking about yesterday's episode in Virginia,
like they did the right thing and put someone in
jail and not gave them bond, but other people are like,
wherever this is happening, they're way more lenient. Yeah, it
just it's unfortunate, and I mean maybe we're not getting
(26:43):
the whole story with some of these news stories too,
which is why they decide to give people lesser sentences.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't know, Okay, new data from CDC has revealed
an estimated one in three teens and preteens ages twelve
to seventeen now have pre diabetes. So what does this
mean exactly?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Guys? This is like really so alarming to me. When
I heard this. Maria told me about this, and I
thought that she had to be wrong because it's so high.
This is twelve to seventeen years old, and this was
done back in twenty twenty three, and I could only
imagine that this has gotten worse. Eight point four million
(27:22):
people or thirty two point seven percent of teens of
the US population. That's so big to be saying that
they're pre diabetic now, which means that their sugar is
high but not enough to be considered to be type
two diabetes. But risk factors include being overweight, having parents
(27:46):
that are overweight, and having a parent or sibling that
has a similar diagnosis of type two diabetes. And also
a big thing is being physically active less than three
days a week. And you know, that's a huge thing
to think about with kids because the phones and the
internet and everything are the iPads, all of it has
(28:09):
just totally halted normal childhood activities.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
No, I mean even since I started working with you,
like I used to work.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I know it's true that when we started doing the
grocer room and we started doing the podcast, Like I
don't I know exactly what you're gonna say, like we
sit around too much and it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Well before I worked with you, I worked at a
restaurant where I worked on photo shoots and my average
was like ten to fifteen thousand steps a day. And
I haven't even looked because I'm embarrassed. I'm sure most days,
like a day like today where we're recording and I'm
editing and everything, I'm not moving at all, Like actually
I might do five to take them in steps today,
(28:48):
Yeah seriously, But yeah, I mean, And I never used
to think about it because I was walking just so much.
I would walk to work because I lived in the city.
I was walking all around at work and never thought
anything of it. But then when I started working for you,
Thanks to you, I'm not moving anymore because I'm working
on a computer all day. But I find it pathetic
because I'm like tonight, for example, I have to force
(29:10):
myself to go take a walk after dinner because otherwise
I'm not moving all day.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, it is really terrible, and it's the same thing
that could be said about kids. If kids are it's
just hard because if they're not interested in sports and
they're just they want to I mean, obviously it's more
comfortable for them to just be on a device and
be cozy in their house, they might not do that.
It's just I think about when I was a kid,
(29:36):
just like we were so bored all the time. So
it was bikes, then rollerblades, then pool like all summer
just doing crazy things to doing softball games, running around
the bases, doing this that and the other, playing outside,
playing jaw break outside, all of these different things that
kids just aren't doing as much of anymore, and it's
starting to take a toll on their health. And type
(29:59):
two diabetes could just lead to a life of problems.
And you definitely do not I mean, if you have it,
you deal with it, but you definitely do not want
to get it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
So I guess, like what can somebody do, Like if
they're teenagers in this category, they just need to start
cutting back on like sugar.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, I mean a lot of it are I mean
Obviously there's been a lot of talk about this over
the past couple of years of how horrible our diet is,
especially compared to other countries and even just compared to
like how things are now as opposed to how things
were when I was a kid, and just parents not
cooking meals, people eating out door Dash is a huge thing.
(30:39):
I know teenagers that have a door Dash account that
just get whatever they want delivered to the house. Like,
think about all the times that you're just like, oh,
I really could go for some ice cream and stuff.
But like before, if I wanted to get ice cream
when I was a teenager, it would have been like
I would have had to clean my room and go
up to my mom and say, I cleaned my room,
can you take us to get ice tonight? Like it
(31:00):
just wasn't like as simple as just pushing a couple
buttons on your phone and having it show up at
your doorstep. So a lot of the activity thing is huge.
And when kids are in school, I know a lot
of schools try to force them to do gym class,
which is sometimes the only exercise any kids are getting
a day, which is terrible, but just try to get
(31:22):
them involved in activities and maybe if they don't, Like
my kids aren't huge sports people, but like Lulu likes
to do dance and like Lilian enjoys going to like
the trampoline place, just like anything to get them to
jump around. The pool's a good one. Just like fun
stuff to burn calories, you know what I mean. And
it's just it's just really it's really unfortunate and sad
(31:45):
to hear that this number is this high. I mean,
it's it's a huge percent. It's over a corner of kids.
Like it's just such a huge percent. It's so sad.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I well, on that note, we will see you
guys at Crime Kind in Denver September fifth to the seventh.
You could hang out with will not hang out necessarily,
but you could see us with what it only is.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Chance they'll have a chance to Yeah, you're not hanging
out with like us with uh Nancy Grace because like
we're not even hanging out with her, but we like
we'll be happy to meet her again in the hallway
and maybe get a picture this time.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
But you'll see us.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I'm around, yeah, if we'll be floating around and definitely
could have chances to hang out with us at the
there's a what's that? What would you consider that thing
to be? Like the welcoming of the welcome party? Yeah,
the welcome party. That was fun last year.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah, so we'll be at the welcome party. That's probably
your best chance that like actually.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
But yeah that was cool because we just like everybody's
there and you just get to walk around and just
meet everyone and mingle with everyone, which is super cool.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yeah, and like people aren't. I feel like last year,
like when people were coming up to us, we were
just getting pulled left and right because we had to
like go to something or do something, so we couldn't
like actually sit there, and we do want to talk
to you guys, you know, it's fun for us. So yeah,
and then we have the meet and greet too, and yeah,
we have the meet and greet, and the welcome party
is definitely going to be fun. I mean, we fan
(33:11):
girl out too. We see people, we want to see
you there.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
So I was like Chris Hansen, oh my god, we
used to watch you and to catch a predator all
the time.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Then he was like, get away from me. Freaks.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Not say that he was nice.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I'm joking. I was saying that to Cheryl about I
was like, I went up to Paul Holes, but I
think I made it weird because I'm like, he's I
love the Golden State Killer case, but I'm sure he
gets bombarded with it all the time, and I don't
want to like make it weird talking to him. But
I'm also like, I don't know what else to say
to you because I don't know you, but I loved
your book and I'll probably make it awkward again this year,

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, we're
going to talk about a paranormal investigator who died while
on a haunted tour, a social media influencer who is
apologizing after she posted a weird video about announcing her miscarriage,
a tragic case out of France where a child dropped
and killed a baby, a mom who was doing the
(00:43):
unthinkable over Snapchat, and the alarming you report pre diabetes
in teenagers is on the increase. All that and more
on today's episode.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
All right, so let's start off with this story about
Dan Rivera. He was a paranormal investigator with the New
England Society for Psychic Research and they were doing a
tour where they showed off this haunted doll named Annabelle.
Have you ever seen this doll before?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I feel like I've heard of it, but I never
I didn't. I guess I thought it was a movie
and I didn't really think it was an actual thing.
I kind of want to see it now. It's like
you're crazy for it. It's in Gettysburg, it's close.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
No, I don't think it lives in Gettysburg. It's on traveling,
it's on tour. It's a raggedy an doll. It's like
a raggedy ant doll. And for those unfamiliar with the backstory,
because I just learned this writing the notes up today,
the doll was gifted to a nurse in nineteen sixty eight,
and shortly after her and her roommates started noticing all
this really weird stuff happening. This sad like the doll
(01:43):
was like lifting its own arms and all this weird
stuff started happening in their house. So a medium then
claimed it was possessed by a young girl named Annabel,
which is that why it goes by that name, And
since then it's been kept in this glass storage case
to contain its evil spirit. I mean, this doll is
sopo popular and inspired the movie The Conjuring, which is
probably one of the most popular horror movies of all time.
(02:06):
So this guy is taking this doll on tour and
they stop in Gettysburg, and then all of a sudden,
this guy, Dan Rivera, is found dead in his hotel room.
So of course all these people are freaking out. They
think this doll has something to do with his death,
but police are saying it's nothing suspicious and the doll
was not in his room at the time he was found.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, obviously the doll's going to make it look not suspicious.
I mean, come on, publicity for the tour it is,
but I know, like I want to go now, I
don't know. I it's kind of this is just kind
of like a nothing story honestly, Like I thought that
he was when you read the headlines, it's like he
(02:48):
was giving the tour and like drop dead, like in
front of the doll. It's like he was in a hotel.
It's just kind of like that's why I see the
correlation at all. Just I mean, he's young, he is,
so that is weird, and so they're saying it's suspicious
so or it's not suspicious. So they're basically they're telling
(03:08):
us right now that it doesn't look like anyone killed them,
so it could I want you to think that's exactly
so that leaves suicide natural or accident.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well, suicide I feel would be real suspicious.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
So I'm gonna I don't think that that's considered a
suspicious death though, like that if they can, if they
clearly think they know why he died. It means they're
not investigating anyone or any doll.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, the autopsy results are pending as of our recording,
so we don't know exactly what happened to him.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I agree with you. When I first read it, I
thought he was touring the place that had the doll
permanently on display, and then upon going in the room,
he died right like right there in front of him.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But so it's very misleading obviously because it's you can
sensationalize the shit out of this story. I mean, look
at the weird situation going on. But the tour is
not over. Tickets are still for sale for the remaining dates.
They're gonna just keep on track. I have far Scattysburg,
like four hours away. No, I think the rest of
(04:14):
the tour is in Connecticut or something. But I'm not
into like demonic possessed spirits, paranormal anything, So I guess
if you're into that stuff, this is just making the
tour all the more exciting because now it's like you've
connected the ultimate horror element with it. But let's remember
that a man did lose his life, so we'll see
(04:37):
exactly what happened. I guess in a couple of weeks
when the report comes out. All right, So influencer Curisa
Collins made a video announcing her and her husband were
expecting their twelfth child. However, days later, she had a miscarriage.
So she proceeds to post a video saying that she
had a miscarriage and wanted to let the fetal tissue
pass naturally without medical intervention. And then she uploaded a
(04:59):
video short after that of all of her other children
smacking her belly.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
This chick is so annoying, she wrote. This is what
she said when because obviously people were like, dude, this
doesn't look good, right, No, And she said, I don't
do clickbait. I don't do like controversy. I don't post
like that. And she just said something along the lines
(05:24):
of I didn't think anyone would look at it. I'm like, okay,
you have over a million followers between your social medias, Like,
aren't you posting videos because people are going to look
at them?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Even if you didn't have a million followers, aren't you
posting videos because you want people to look at them?
I that just annoyed, Like, come on, I guess I
was kind of confused by the timeline, Like, are people
trying to say that the kids were smacking her belly
and caused the miscarriage or they were smacking her belly
to help her have the natural what did she weard
(05:59):
it as fetal tissue past?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
What's called a missed abortion, Like the word abortion is
used in medicine, which just means a loss of pregnancy.
So an elective abortion is one that you think of
typically when a person goes to an abortion clinic and
gets it done, either for personal reasons or for medical purposes.
But a spontaneous abortion is what people consider to be
(06:25):
a miscarriage. A missed abortion is what's considered like the
the the fetus that you're pregnant with is no longer living,
but it hasn't passed out of the body yet, so
it's dead inside still. And I guess, like, like she said,
she was waiting to pass it, but I guess people
(06:46):
were thinking that she was having the kids like paunch
on her stomach to get it out.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The whole that's what it looks.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
The whole thing is freaking weird. It's just weird in general.
And like she's also been accused of having children for
her social media and stuff, and it's just like, I
don't know, Like listen, after You're never gonna convince me
that anybody wants to have twelve kids. You're out of
your fricking mind.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
After Ruby Frankie, and we see all these other people
on YouTube, the what's the one girl's name, in particular
Micah with the baby Huxley. Oh, the people have done it,
so of course you have to be critical. She's trying
to say this video was them just all comparing their
bellies after they ate dinner, and her just showing she
had a different type of belly because she had been
(07:31):
pregnant fifteen times. So I guess she had other miscarriages
as well along the way. But I don't know. I
think like it's like you posted it so you're gonna
get flack, and like that's what happens when you share
your life on the internet. Like saying you didn't post
it because you didn't think anybody was gonna see it
is like the most ridiculous thing saying it wasn't click paite.
She's just trying to share God's message and message, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, And she deleted all of the videos that have
to do with that pregnancy, that particular pregnancy, like it's
erased off the Internet, and it's just like, well, like,
I don't know what I mean, what do you think.
I think it's I think when you decide to have
a life and it doesn't matter. I know people that
(08:18):
do the you know on the different families that do
social media for their family. It's just a different kind
of way that you choose to live your life like that,
to have a camera in your kid's face at all
times and not really enjoying or any event the way
(08:39):
that you normally would, because everything is trying to capture
something in order to get clicks. Like that, I have
a hard time not thinking that it's bullshit, just just
based upon like you said, we covered that one, the
Huxley one, the Ruby Frankie one, the one with the
(09:02):
husband and wife that just lost their son that drowned
in the pool. It's like all of these people are
just living a different kind of life. And just because
you see maybe a twenty minute video every day on
their social media, we know because of our accounts that
(09:23):
it takes a lot more behind the scenes than just
what you're seeing. So imagine a mother that has twelve children,
that has her phone out all day to document different things.
It's just like, I don't know what you're thinking right now.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I just think it's unrealistic and I'm not definitely these
people just because they share their lives, don't They definitely
don't deserve to have terrible things like this happened to them, obviously,
But when you share every component of your life online,
you need to expect that not everybody's gonna be okay
with what you're doing, and people are gonna have questions
when you post unusual things like side to side videos
(10:02):
of you announcing your miscarriage and then a subsequent video
of your children smacking your stomach like it's it's an
unusual move. You have every right to do it, but
if people are questioning it and getting upset, you have
to expect that. It's just part of We share very
minimal parts of our life, but we are online. We
(10:22):
do this show online, we have video, we have audio,
we have lots of listeners, and we get criticism all
the time. It's just part of having an Internet presence.
So you just gotta expect it, and you can't get
defensive of it. It just is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
If you're it's it's not just specific to people like
the Kardashians, right, Like, when I look at the comments
that people write about them, I'm just like, oh my god,
Like how do they even mentally survive this? People are
so mean, right, just like raw, just me and me
(11:01):
and mean, And you just think, like, God, how did
how do they see all these people writing these terrible
things about them? And you just have to handle it
in a certain kind of way and just expect that,
like this is just life in general. Everyone's not gonna
love every single thing that you do. They're gonna love
a lot of things you do and not love things
you do. Like it you're a human, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I mean this chick that was on vander Pump Rules
just shared in her book that came out this week
that her husband had an affair when she was pregnant
with their child a couple of years ago, and on
his social media it's spammed with comments telling him to
kill himself, like all these horrible things, right, And you're like,
first of all, I'm not justifying what he did. I
(11:45):
think he's a total piece of shit. He has a
way worse background than what he did to her, But
I think, who is this person? They're on this show,
vander Pump Rules is a spinoff of Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills. Nobody really acknowledges that fact, but anyway, like
they're in this relationship. She was pregnant, he had an affair.
It's this huge bombshell in the Bravo world in the
(12:06):
last two weeks that he had this affair. But like
people are going on his page telling him to kill himself.
He's a horrible person. Like even though he did a
horrible thing, those things still you read that and you're like,
at what point does this person start questioning even being
alive after getting attacked like that on the internet? Right,
It's just it was kind.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Of thing that we could find a way to wean
this story into to our podcast that has nothing to
do with it, but the viral couple cheating at the
Coldplay concert.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Oh yeah, there was no way to bring this up.
You were yaging with any of.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Its here it fits here. I don't know. I just
like that that that was just like a phenomenon that
happened this week, and it's so crazy, like all the
stuff that comes out after it and everybody's response to
it and stuff. I just thought it was it was
pretty interesting. But our favorite part was the at the
(13:02):
Phillies game, they like recreated it with the Philly fanatic
and his girlfriend and it was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I mean, what are you thinking going to an arena
filled with tens of thousands of people? Like even if
you're in a private suite, other people can run in.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's actually really interesting to me because if you're the
whole thing is is very opposite of what you think
about people cheating. Honestly, Like you would think a guy
that's got that kind of a position that makes good
money would be like banging a girl that was that
(13:37):
was like really typically in those situations you see like
this like young hot girl, right, and then it was
like total opposite, like he was he was dating someone
his age and he was on an actual date. It
wasn't like a sexual I mean, I'm sure they're out sex,
but but I'm just saying it's just it's almost like
(13:58):
I would rather find out that my husband was just
like banging someone in a hotel instead of finding out
they were having like a relationship and going on dates
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, Like it looked really intimate and as the wife,
I'm sure that was horrific.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, like that would bother me more because it wasn't like, oh,
you're just like not getting satisfied at home or whatever.
Like it's just it's just like when you think about
finding out your husband cheating on you, it's like, oh,
he's getting a hotel room and doing this. It's not
like he's like he's on a date at the lamest
concert ever with some woman that's that's older than you, Like, well,
(14:32):
how do you think? It's just a very interesting thing
to look at?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
How do you think Mackenzie Bezos felt when it came
out that Jeff Bezos texted Laurence Sanchez, I just want
to wake up and read the newspaper with you every day.
It was like so losory, but also such.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Oh I don't know, I don't know any about this.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh that's like how I don't know how God exposed
because he texted her like that when they're a fair
God exposed. This text came out that he said he
couldn't he all all he wanted to do was wake
up and read the newspaper with her. So it's like,
not only are you having an affair, but then on
top of it, it's like some extra nerdy losory level
(15:11):
of intimacy, like you just want to wake up and
read the newspaper with this.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I just want to hold you and listen to cold
Play basically, So, and I found it like I been,
I guess, so I'm just like I thought they had
one song that was kind of okay, and like that
carried them into this like they're still touring twenty years later.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Thing one of your iconic moments was going to a
cold Blake concert with a friend against your will and
having a thing you made on a label maker that
said I hate Coldplay that you stuck on your shirt.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Who did I even go to? Who did I even do?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That? Way? It was truly like fifteen years ago somebody
I feel like you worked at the hospital with It was.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Like a co I barely I literally barely even remember that.
But that's that is definitely vintage nical, So I leave you.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah. So I don't know, like if people want to
blame cold Play for outing them, like no, some random
girl just happened to be videoing the screen when they
panned over to them, and then Chris Martin called them
out for he said, these people are either having an
affair or they're really shy. That girl posted it on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It blew up. So yeah, and then she was she
was just interviewed and said her her video got like
some insane number of views, like one hundred and million
views or something insane. And she said she didn't make
any money off of it because she's not you need
ten thousand, She's not like an influencer. Yeah, but which
(16:42):
is which is actually messed up? Because you other influencers
that are reposting the video are making money off of it.
That's what's messed up.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Well, that's just the nature of the game, baby, So
I don't know what what idiots, And kudos to the
Phillies team for doing that with the Philly fitata and
the female fanatic whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Does she have a name?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I thought the female fanatic was typically the fanatics mom,
but I guess in special skits. They rearranged the costuming
a little bit. But it was pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
All right, this is totally not like our subject matter whatsoever.
So no, but I mean, but we had to have
to talk about it because everybody else is this story
is actually disturbing this six year old child was left
wandering unattended in a children's hospital. He went into the
neonatal unit, grabbed a premature baby by her diaper, thinking
she was a doll, and ended up dropping her on
(17:35):
her head, and unfortunately the baby did not survive. Yeah,
so I guess they're they're in this unit, and obviously
babies are staying there for multiple days after they're born,
and a lot of the mothers were complaining to the nurses,
saying that this child was running around the floor, busting
into their rooms and stuff unattended, and it was something
(17:59):
that people were noticing around. I don't know. I mean,
this is in France, so I don't know what the
rules are there. I don't even know what the rules
are here, honestly, but I'm assuming that because sometimes you
have a baby and then you have other kids at home,
so you're gonna go visit the baby while the baby's
in the nick you and then you have your other
kid with you. But there has to be some kind
(18:21):
of rules as far as what that child is doing
when they're there.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I mean, well, especially if they kept reporting that the
child was consistently being a problem. Over a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I just can't even I can't imagine that. I mean,
we just had a similar story a few weeks ago
of that mom that also had a baby in the
nick you that accidentally got pulled onto the floor by
a nurse because one of the cords was attached to
the baby or something like that. And it's just like,
imagine going through a whole pregnancy, having the baby and
(18:54):
then having to leave the baby in the hospital like
that and all the heartache and scared, how scared you
are that the baby might not survive and stuff. Only
for some kid to come in and like pull your
kid on the floor like it's a doll and die
from a traumatic brain injury is just so devastating.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
No, I can't even imagine. And obviously they're going to
do an investigation and see what was going on with
the parents, what was going on with the staff, like,
because things like this cannot happen.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Guys, we have some great cases in the gross room.
This week, we have a really just terrible case of
a life's infestation. You just won't believe how bad this
guy had it to the point that it was making
him an EMEC. We also have a very unusual way
someone tried to deal with their constipation, like a very
unusual way which to put him in a lot of
(19:51):
trouble unfortunately. Also tomorrow, we're going to have our first
YouTube live session in the gross Room that we're going
to be doing at noon Eastern Standard time that is
only for Grocery members. Maria and I will be in
this live video as well as a live chat with
our members, so we are expecting it to be really awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, head over to the grosserroom dot com now to
sign up. So we had references story I think in
yesterday's episode right about somebody that was given bail for
a horrific crime. So, this mother of seven children has
been arrested after sending photos of her seven month old
to a man on Snapchat with a caption you can
(20:34):
fuck her for four hundred dollars half now rest after
I'll send you my address. I do live alone and
her dad is not in the picture. What the fuck
is going on with society today?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I don't know. She first tried to say that she
didn't do it, it wasn't her on the phone or whatever,
but they went back and they found this is staggering action,
especially to think that this is a mother of seven children. Okay,
between October twenty ninth in November one, which is what
three days, seven thousand messages were sent, including eighty one
(21:08):
of them that said, would you be interested in buying
my nudes so I could get my baby diapers? Like, clearly,
this situation that's happening is just a mom who is
I don't know if she's on drugs, I don't know
if she's living in poverty. Whatever it is is not
she's getting pregnant lots of times, having lots of babies,
and like not able to take care of her children
(21:31):
and probably not mentally sound to take care of her children.
Just based upon these couple of little things that we're hearing,
I mean, I can't even imagine having seven kids as
it is. It's just a lot. But then the dad's
not in the picture, so she's doing it alone. And
then she's still having time to message someone seven thousand
times within three days or multiple people on Snapchat while
(21:55):
she I guess back in October, well that was last year,
but like, how how is she doing all this and
still having a newborn baby as well? And then offering
her newborn child for sex to strangers for money. And
on top of that, like, is this the first time
(22:16):
that she's done this because she has seven kids?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, I'd say probably not. And I also say, like,
she clearly doesn't care about the child based on the content,
but also we could see that by how much time
she's spending on her phone. Actually, kudos to snapchat because
they flagged the message and sent it to the FBI,
who then looked into this.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, but it's still it still took the FBI. Not
to talk I'm not trying to talk shit on them.
I'm just saying, like the process, it took them ten
days to arrest her from when she sent that message,
and a lot could have happened in those ten days.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
No, definitely, I just and that's what's so scary too.
I was just impressed because you know, we see all
these social media companies and all like that. Obviously there's
a lot of good that could come, but all the
harm that also is associated with them, and the fact
that I feel like, genuinely, this is the first time
we've had a story where the app itself flagged disturbing
(23:10):
message and sent it to authorities and something was done
about it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I've never heard anything like that either. I mean, they
have technology. I'm telling you, like you guys know that,
I get blocked every single day for posting something. The
latest is the graphic violence about I wrote about a
person that cut their foot on a shard of porcelain
(23:35):
from a broken tile in a bathroom, and I said
that it cut their foot like it worked like an
incisional wound, like a like a sharp weapon or a
knife wound, and I got put in jail again and
Instagram I can't post live again for another year. Anyone
that works at Instagram or Meta would be greatly appreciated
to help us with this, but they, I guess their
(23:58):
technology is just picking up that I'm talking about something
similar to a knife wound. Than it just picks it
up and blocks it, which I'm okay with if it
works to help other situations like like the one we're
talking about right now. Obviously, I mean, this lady either
has to be on drugs or she has to have
some kind of mental illness, because there's no way anyone
(24:21):
in their right mind would ever say something or offer
something like this with one of their children. It's it
just it makes me want to throw up, honestly.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
So she's facing a sex trafficking charge and being held
on one hundred thousand dollars bill. Why is this even
an option for an offender like this?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
And it's low? I mean, like she should get her
children taken away, I mean forever, there should that should
be a thing too, Like there's no remediation, there's there's something,
there's something like fundamentally wrong with this woman. The kids
should get taken away and she should be put away.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Really no, I agree, And then they concluded it with
I mean basically, if she's convicted, she's facing ten to
thirty years in prison. But I agree with you. I
think definitely. We never want to see children go into
the system, obviously, but like no, I dot case. Yeah,
they're better off than with a mother that's trying to
pimp them out, which is fucking horrible. But it's also
(25:20):
unclear if the man who received the message is going
to face any charges because was it an unsolicited she
just send it to some guy she knew, or was
it a predator seeking these out? So I guess I
would say this is a case we're probably not going
to get updates on because ones like this that are
the most horrific are always the ones.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I just don't like this maximum ten to thirty years.
So she gets ten years. Let's say she gets ten
years and then what she serves five and then she's
out on good behavior, Like, we don't need someone like
this walking the streets and just having access to their children. Especially.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I actually forgot to bring this up in my discussion
in the Lamb funeral scandal. But did you notice when
reading that David Scott's got five years for all the
horrific things he was doing in the funeral home, and
then later on he got a five year sentence for
selling fraudulent bus tickets, same charge, Like, the same sentence
for two completely different crimes.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I mean, people don't get especially in certain states too.
It's like, like we were talking about yesterday's episode in Virginia,
like they did the right thing and put someone in
jail and not gave them bond, but other people are like,
wherever this is happening, they're way more lenient. Yeah, it
just it's unfortunate, and I mean maybe we're not getting
(26:43):
the whole story with some of these news stories too,
which is why they decide to give people lesser sentences.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't know, Okay, new data from CDC has revealed
an estimated one in three teens and preteens ages twelve
to seventeen now have pre diabetes. So what does this
mean exactly?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Guys? This is like really so alarming to me. When
I heard this. Maria told me about this, and I
thought that she had to be wrong because it's so high.
This is twelve to seventeen years old, and this was
done back in twenty twenty three, and I could only
imagine that this has gotten worse. Eight point four million
(27:22):
people or thirty two point seven percent of teens of
the US population. That's so big to be saying that
they're pre diabetic now, which means that their sugar is
high but not enough to be considered to be type
two diabetes. But risk factors include being overweight, having parents
(27:46):
that are overweight, and having a parent or sibling that
has a similar diagnosis of type two diabetes. And also
a big thing is being physically active less than three
days a week. And you know, that's a huge thing
to think about with kids because the phones and the
internet and everything are the iPads, all of it has
(28:09):
just totally halted normal childhood activities.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
No, I mean even since I started working with you,
like I used to work.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I know it's true that when we started doing the
grocer room and we started doing the podcast, Like I
don't I know exactly what you're gonna say, like we
sit around too much and it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Well before I worked with you, I worked at a
restaurant where I worked on photo shoots and my average
was like ten to fifteen thousand steps a day. And
I haven't even looked because I'm embarrassed. I'm sure most days,
like a day like today where we're recording and I'm
editing and everything, I'm not moving at all, Like actually
I might do five to take them in steps today,
(28:48):
Yeah seriously, But yeah, I mean, And I never used
to think about it because I was walking just so much.
I would walk to work because I lived in the city.
I was walking all around at work and never thought
anything of it. But then when I started working for you,
Thanks to you, I'm not moving anymore because I'm working
on a computer all day. But I find it pathetic
because I'm like tonight, for example, I have to force
(29:10):
myself to go take a walk after dinner because otherwise
I'm not moving all day.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, it is really terrible, and it's the same thing
that could be said about kids. If kids are it's
just hard because if they're not interested in sports and
they're just they want to I mean, obviously it's more
comfortable for them to just be on a device and
be cozy in their house, they might not do that.
It's just I think about when I was a kid,
(29:36):
just like we were so bored all the time. So
it was bikes, then rollerblades, then pool like all summer
just doing crazy things to doing softball games, running around
the bases, doing this that and the other, playing outside,
playing jaw break outside, all of these different things that
kids just aren't doing as much of anymore, and it's
starting to take a toll on their health. And type
(29:59):
two diabetes could just lead to a life of problems.
And you definitely do not I mean, if you have it,
you deal with it, but you definitely do not want
to get it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
So I guess, like what can somebody do, Like if
they're teenagers in this category, they just need to start
cutting back on like sugar.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, I mean a lot of it are I mean
Obviously there's been a lot of talk about this over
the past couple of years of how horrible our diet is,
especially compared to other countries and even just compared to
like how things are now as opposed to how things
were when I was a kid, and just parents not
cooking meals, people eating out door Dash is a huge thing.
(30:39):
I know teenagers that have a door Dash account that
just get whatever they want delivered to the house. Like,
think about all the times that you're just like, oh,
I really could go for some ice cream and stuff.
But like before, if I wanted to get ice cream
when I was a teenager, it would have been like
I would have had to clean my room and go
up to my mom and say, I cleaned my room,
can you take us to get ice tonight? Like it
(31:00):
just wasn't like as simple as just pushing a couple
buttons on your phone and having it show up at
your doorstep. So a lot of the activity thing is huge.
And when kids are in school, I know a lot
of schools try to force them to do gym class,
which is sometimes the only exercise any kids are getting
a day, which is terrible, but just try to get
(31:22):
them involved in activities and maybe if they don't, Like
my kids aren't huge sports people, but like Lulu likes
to do dance and like Lilian enjoys going to like
the trampoline place, just like anything to get them to
jump around. The pool's a good one. Just like fun
stuff to burn calories, you know what I mean. And
it's just it's just really it's really unfortunate and sad
(31:45):
to hear that this number is this high. I mean,
it's it's a huge percent. It's over a corner of kids.
Like it's just such a huge percent. It's so sad.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I well, on that note, we will see you
guys at Crime Kind in Denver September fifth to the seventh.
You could hang out with will not hang out necessarily,
but you could see us with what it only is.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Chance they'll have a chance to Yeah, you're not hanging
out with like us with uh Nancy Grace because like
we're not even hanging out with her, but we like
we'll be happy to meet her again in the hallway
and maybe get a picture this time.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
But you'll see us.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I'm around, yeah, if we'll be floating around and definitely
could have chances to hang out with us at the
there's a what's that? What would you consider that thing
to be? Like the welcoming of the welcome party? Yeah,
the welcome party. That was fun last year.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah, so we'll be at the welcome party. That's probably
your best chance that like actually.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
But yeah that was cool because we just like everybody's
there and you just get to walk around and just
meet everyone and mingle with everyone, which is super cool.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yeah, and like people aren't. I feel like last year,
like when people were coming up to us, we were
just getting pulled left and right because we had to
like go to something or do something, so we couldn't
like actually sit there, and we do want to talk
to you guys, you know, it's fun for us. So yeah,
and then we have the meet and greet too, and yeah,
we have the meet and greet, and the welcome party
is definitely going to be fun. I mean, we fan
(33:11):
girl out too. We see people, we want to see
you there.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
So I was like Chris Hansen, oh my god, we
used to watch you and to catch a predator all
the time.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Then he was like, get away from me. Freaks.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Not say that he was nice.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I'm joking. I was saying that to Cheryl about I
was like, I went up to Paul Holes, but I
think I made it weird because I'm like, he's I
love the Golden State Killer case, but I'm sure he
gets bombarded with it all the time, and I don't
want to like make it weird talking to him. But
I'm also like, I don't know what else to say
to you because I don't know you, but I loved
your book and I'll probably make it awkward again this year,
