Speaker 1 (00:08):
Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi.
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, we're
going to be talking about Scott Peterson getting an ass
whooping in prison, a track star that says she accidentally
(00:31):
beat her competition with a baton, police finding a dead
person randomly on top of a woman, penis enlargement, and
burials at sea. Let's talk about this Scott Peterson situation.
It's about time someone kicked his ass, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
So Scott Peterson, who was famously convicted of murdering his
wife Lazy and their unborn child, he got attacked in
prison over a pickleball debate.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
The pick like you guys know how I feel about that.
The hipster sport that just all of a sudden is
popular within the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's a classic what's wrong with your generation situation with a.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Out of me.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Even though the sport has been around I think over
one hundred years, but there has been a surge in
the last decade. It's not like it just popped up
last year like it did in your mind. It's been
popular for the last couple of years, but I guess
it has hit the prison system. So he was he
was playing pickleball against another inmate, and they're saying that
he purposely I don't know. This is alleged that he
(01:35):
purposely hit this ball at the other inmate, which pissed
that guy off, and then he beat the shit out
of him.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's funny because when he got arrested, in everything and
throughout his trial, he always it's it's hard to think
of him killing his pregnant wife because he always seems
like he's so what's the word that I'm looking for.
He has no emotions or something. He looks like a
very that. He's not an aggressive person at all. Right,
(02:04):
you never get that vibe like he's so chill. I
don't know, but like I think he's like a little
off honestly.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's how those people are though a lot of times
that are murdering other people, they're like quiet, recluse people.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I don't know, I don't know. So so, yeah,
it's interesting that he got pissed off and tried to
hit someone with And I guess that goes with our
next story too, right, But yeah, so he got beat
up in jail. It's kind of interesting. I mean, I
know people are in prison and stuff, but it's just
kind of like, you're in prison the rest of your
(02:38):
life was supposed to be get killed by the death penalty,
and that's not happening now, and you're just enjoying a
day out in the sign in California with the mountains
around you, playing pickleball outside. It's just weird.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I mean, he's been in jail since what roughly like
two thousand and four, maybe since he was arrested in
two thousand and three, and I'm really surprised he's lasted
this long without I mean, has he gotten any other
big fights, because usually when we hear of stories like this,
other prisoners are really not okay with like sex offenders
and children or child killers. Yeah, so I'm surprised he
(03:15):
hasn't been in any other situations like this before. But
I mean, the injuries he got from this pickleball fight
were not really that bad. He didn't have to go
to the hospital or anything, like I.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Think he needed a little asspo But no, I think
it's it put a smile on everyone's face. You could
see it on the internet, like nobody was just like
appalled by it, even a little bit, but no, I.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Think most people think it's funny and well deserved because
he's a piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So let's talk about this track star who also took
seemingly took her aggression out on someone.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So this video goes viral from this track meet, and
it's kind of weird. I mean, I'm sure you watched
it when you were writing up your notes for this.
But they're like rounding the corner of this relay race,
and it peers that one of the girls purposely takes
her baton and hits the girl like coming up next
to her that's lightly in front of her, over the head.
That girl ended up getting a concussion. They think she
(04:10):
might have a skull fracture, and the chick that hit
her is saying it was an accident.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I don't know. I'm not an expert, and I am
an expert. I'm a life expert, okay, Like that girl
looked like she just was was trying to give her
a beatdown and hurt her, Like, your arms don't go
all the way back like that when you're not trying
to hurt somebody. And you can watch her arms the
entire time they're at this one and this one position
(04:38):
holding the baton, and then all of a sudden, she
gets close to this girl and just starts like putting
her arm back and forth so hard with the baton
and hitting the girl. I just don't understand how it
was an accident. And furthermore, the chick hasn't apologized to
the girl that got injured. And if you hit somebody
by accident and they had to go to the hospital,
(05:00):
what in the normal reaction be for you to be like,
oh my god, I'm so sorry, I feel terrible.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah. I mean, she's arguing that she lost her balance
and it was just kind of like a wrong place,
wrong time situation, Like the other girl that got hit
ended up cutting the corner at the same exact time
she was trying to like flail and she balance and
she got pissed.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
She got pissed. That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So I think when you really look at the video,
it is genuinely difficult to tell if it was intentional
or not. But when you think of the lack of
apology and everything else like that, you could easily argue
that it was intentional.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I mean, yeah, like people are going online and saying
really racist and mean things to her, and I don't
think that's necessary. But also it's just like, dude, you're
putting yourself in this position because you're trying to tell
all of us not to believe what we're looking at.
I mean, anybody would say that she's given her a
beat down. And it's interesting because track and field is
(05:59):
considered to be a relatively safe spot. I mean, you
could get a ton of orthopedic injuries for sure, like
achilles tendonitis and muscle strain and things like that, but
it's not common for people that do track and field
to get traumatic brain injuries and concussions that may affect
them later in life. And these people always carry batons
(06:19):
and this has never happened accidentally like this, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I was just surprised the damage was so severe because
these things, I know they're made from aluminum, but they're
pretty light, like they're only an ounce. But I guess
when you add the force of a human behind it,
that's where it could be you.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Could punch someone in the head and break their skull.
So it's just especially having a piece of metal in
your hand like that, it's totally possible and it could
have just fractured. I mean when they say a skull fracture,
there's over twenty bones in the skull. It could have
been a simple like a small little hairline fracture and
one of the one of the smaller bones within the skull.
(06:53):
But regardless, like she had a concussion, she had a
traumatic brain injury. And it's like, you guys have to
watch a bit because there's in my opinion, you don't
really hear anybody saying that this is that they believe
it's an accident, right besides her and her parents. No.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I mean, I think if you just watched the video,
it's not super easy to tell. But the lack of
remorse on the girl that did it kind of says
it all for me. So like, you can't you exactly
what you're saying. It's very unusual that if you would
hurt somebody genuinely by accident, that you would not apologize
to them at all for it, if it really was
an accident. So this next.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Story is very unusual. Why don't you, I would say, unusual?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's so confusing in many ways. So police got a
call to go to this mobile home park in Michigan,
and when they get there, they find this woman who
is very much alive, lying on her bed, but underneath
of a dead man.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I don't even understand how this happened. So police said
that it was obvious he was a victim of homicide,
which means he had to be pretty beaten up. If
this was determined, what out any kind of an autopsy.
Had several signs that he had blunt trauma. They didn't
say what caused it, and this was in the head,
the blunt trauma, and he was stabbed several times in
(08:12):
the chest and neck. I don't understand. So she did it,
she gets arrested for it. She was taken to the
hospital for evaluation, obviously, but then she would have had
to move his dead body on top of her body.
It's like, it's well, I was interesting. Well, I was
thinking about the scenarios of this, like were they having
(08:36):
sex and then she used it as an opportunity to
kill him? Was she trying to prevent an assault? Was
he abusive and like holding her down or something? They
said there was a child in the home that was unharmed.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Who called nai will one?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Did she unharmed? Is a light statement, I think, because
I'm pretty sure if you're a child living in a
home where this stuff is taking I'm saying it's definitely harmed,
also not murdered or stabbed.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
But who caught nime on one?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Was it her?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Was it the kid? Was it somebody else in the neighborhood.
I just don't really understand how the police even got there.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I could see your point of being underneath of the
victim like that, But unless she was laying down on
the bed and had something very heavy, like a bookend
that was made out of wraught iron or something in
her hand, and then in the other hand had a knife,
and you know what I mean, Like, it just seems
unlikely that having a man that's usually bigger on top
(09:29):
of you that you would be able to cause that
damage when you're pinned down.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But can't you argue that he was on top of
her and she was beating him trying to get him
off of her, and then maybe there was a knife
or a sharp tool on the nightstand or something that
she was able to.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Like a like a letter opener and she's just on
the nightstand opener is pretty far fetched, but it's totally
it's totally possible. Anything we as we know from this
show and the Gross Room, like anything in the world
is possible, So yeah, it's Also it's interesting though, because
if she was taken to a hospital for evaluation, I'm
(10:06):
thinking that they were like this lady is kind of
messed up, like she needs to get checked out to
see what's going on with her her mental Like why
was she laying there with a dead person on top
of her? Like we don't know how long he was
laying there, we don't know what the deal is. Of course,
there's no other information.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I'm thinking she I'm thinking he was on top of
her when the attack occurred, and I don't know if
he attacked her first or she used it as a
tactic to attack him. But it would be dumb to
do that because like having that heavy of a body
on top of you, obviously she was trapped, so that
wasn't really well thought out. But that's what I'm gonna
(10:43):
go with. Maybe this episode is brought to you by
the Gross Room.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Guys, do you know the biggest story that broke this
week was Gene Hackman and his wife's death, So we
covered that in the Gross Room. It's about a ten
to fifteen minute read, so we really go in way
more detail than we went in in the short amount
of time we have here on mother's death, just going
through all the autopsy findings and seeing like what would
that look like if you were doing an autopsy and
(11:16):
looking for this, and what kind of tests were sent
out and things like that. So that's super interesting. As
promised last week, we're working on Ruby Frank, which is
so disturbing. You see that there's so many of these
family influencers online and my kids would always say, you know, oh,
like they get to play with toys all day and
(11:37):
they're making money and all this stuff, and I'm just like,
I don't think that their life is great because we
know Maria and I know that we do this and
having to get up and do that on a schedule
is a lot for an adult sometimes and think about
trying to make a kid do that. And this is
a lot of behind the scenes of like showing how
the kids really weren't into it and the mom was
(11:58):
getting increasingly frustrated because the kids weren't going along with
how she wanted to make money off of them.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yes, you guys are going to want to head over
to the grossroom dot com to check that out. We're
going to have part one up on March seventeen.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, so of course this episode we need to talk
about penis enlargement. So in Russia, this fifty six year
old man had a penis enlargement procedure involving hyaluronic acid injections.
Shortly after, he experienced difficulties breathing, nausea, weakness, and tremors
before eventually dying. So we talked about this on previous episodes,
(12:38):
that men are getting a hyaluronic acid is fillers that
you hear about people getting in their lips, in their cheeks,
and we talked about that men were starting to get
them to make their penis bigger. And in this case,
I guess he had it done by a professional that
wasn't quite a professional and didn't exactly know where to
inject because there is a large vein in the penis,
(13:01):
and when they did the autopsy on this person, they
saw that the filler was in the head of the
penis and here it had went into this vein and
ended up traveling into his lung and killing him. So
that's called an embolist. So this would be a hyluronic
acid emboliss when it traveled and under the microscope, they
(13:21):
were able to prove that that was what his cause
of death was because they saw this foreign, jelly like
substance inside of the lungs. And they also did this
special test called a spectrograph analysis, which looked at the
foreign substance and identified it as being high luronic acid.
So they were able to prove that that's what killed them.
And that's just something as simple as having an amateur injector.
(13:46):
I mean, people get this all the time and don't
have these problems, but you have to understand the same
thing could happen with your face. When you have a
person that's not a professional or doesn't understand anatomy sticking
a needle into your face, you could have a lot
of problems that can be permanent, could even cause death.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, I mean I thought it was interesting too because
they're saying in this article that generally medical professionals will
advise against getting any of these well not any of
these procedures, but this specific procedure done unless you had
a condition like a micro penis. But I feel like
we are often talking about men getting these done, and
it's not uncommon Yeah, So it's.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Just it's interesting and it goes to our next story,
which is research that's being done to really improve patients
that have a rectile dysfunction and for having erections. So
it's interesting that the research that they're doing on this
right now.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, a team of scientists in the US, China, and
Japan have successfully three D printed a penis implant, which
they're saying could restore a rectile function to rabbits and
pigs right now, but eventually they're hoping for humans. This
story is so weird because, so first let's talk about
the penis as an It has a very complex vascular system.
(15:04):
Blood comes into the penis from arteries and then it
goes into the penis fills up this spongy tissue that's
called the corpus cavnosum, and that is what fills up
with blood to make an erection. And then once the
erection is done, that blood is supposed to leave the
penis via the veins that we were just talking about
with the other story and go back to the heart
to get more oxygen. So that's what is called erectile dysfunction,
(15:28):
and that could occur anywhere along the way. It could
be a problem with the erectile tissue, a problem with
the artery, probably with the veins, problems all the way
up with the heart. There's just a lot of different
things that could cause it. So these researchers took a
pig penis that so this is what I think is interesting.
Pigs that have a rectile dysfunction. I don't even know
(15:48):
how you find them, how they have it? Did they
give it to them? What happened? How do you have
pigs with erectile dysfunction?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I don't know. But these researchers they made a three
D printing with a hydrogel, which is scaffolding that was enough,
it was strong enough to hold the internal pressure of
to fill up with blood to cause an erection. And
they made this three D printed penis essentially or rectile tissue,
and then they lined it with endothelial cells. And endothelial
(16:15):
cells are the cells that line the blood vessels, and
that combination of them showed that their erectile dysfunction went away.
But even more importantly, all of the pigs were able
to breed later and they got all of the pigs pregnant.
There was no problems with fertility, after this, So the
study is super successful in their opinion, at least this
(16:39):
small study they've done. And obviously it's not done to
help erectile dysfunction in pigs. It's done to help humans.
But it's also hopeful for other vascular issues and other
organs like the heart too, So that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I mean it is super cool. I think this
is a thing we bring up all the time, like
glad there's all these studies done for the penis and
not a lot of women tell of issues. But I
mean it is cool, especially if they could boost fertility
and stuff. But I guess they're gonna have to what like,
what's next moving forward to human trials after.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
They I don't know if I don't, I don't even
know if they're really at that point yet, because you
can't oftentimes, you can't just do one study and be
like Okay, it works. You know, they might they might
try a more complex animal or something. They might try human.
Who knows, like other things, like someone might volunteer for this.
I don't know, because if you think about it, like
if you already have a penis, that completely doesn't work anyway,
(17:34):
and this won't risk your life, Like, why not try
it at that point?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, I mean, are they gonna face because the anatomy
of like a penis of a pig is so different
from a human. I mean, will they face challenges with that?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Possibly? Possibly, But but all of the pieces are there,
the same pieces, so obviously, like animals are different and
they're not hundred percent and that's why we always see things,
you know, with the kidney transplants and everything else, like
it always isn't one hundred percent, but it's the closest thing.
So they they still have a lot of figuring out
to do. But a penis implant right now is just
(18:14):
kind of like it's it's just bulky and weird, and
you know, they have to put these cylinders into the
corpus cabernosum, which are these empty they almost look like
exactly like you know those really thick crayons, Yeah, you know,
the thick ones. They're like that. They're like these cylindrical
tubes that are empty their silicone and they fill up
(18:37):
with saline and you have this pump to put the
saline in. When you want to get an erection, that's
usually either it's in the the scrotal sac or it's
like right in their pelvis right there that it's it's
it's a pump that you that you fill up with
to have an erection and then you let it go
to make your erection go away. It's a very invasive surgery.
(18:59):
It causes scarring, which can then lead to other problems,
and it's just awkward to be to not be able
to get an erection without pushing like this little ball
open to make the saline go in. So it would
be a life changing thing for men. You know, there's
a lot of men that have a rectile dysfunction problem,
so it's pretty cool, yeah, for sure. Okay, so, okay,
(19:25):
this is I'm like really excited about this story actually
because I kind of just never thought about this, and
then after reading about it and looking into it, it's
I feel like you guys will be really interested in it.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Well, at first, we were going to report on this
a couple of days ago because these fishermen had caught
a dead body in their net. So of course you're like, well,
how did it get there? Is it somebody that was murdered? No,
it turns out it was a woman buried.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
At sea, So what's so in that situation when you
when they pull a dead body out of the water,
they will take it to medical exact I don't even
know who would do it. I guess it would be
the jurisdiction of whatever waters they're in. I don't know,
if you're in the middle.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Where were they in Massachusetts?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Okay, So they would probably bring it to shore, to
whatever county that's considered in do an autopsy, and from
that autopsy they were able to determine that number one,
she was embalmed, and number two she was around sixty
years old. Number three that she had cancer all over
her body. So with those facts, they were like, and
the way she was presented, wasn't she wrapped in a
(20:32):
shroud or something like that? Those facts, they were like, Okay,
this is a woman that was buried at sea. That's
how they determined that. Well, they said more than likely
she was buried at sea, because you're just not embalmed
for any reason and wrapped up like that and put
in the water. So that's when I started looking into
(20:52):
that because I don't know, I guess I just always
assumed when people were buried at sea that they were
throwing their ashes in the water. Did you know they
were actually throwing intact bodies in the water.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I know that some cultures do it, so like that
wasn't That wasn't the part of the story that shocked me.
I was more surprised that this doesn't happen more often.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, that's what I'm saying, because I'm like, this is
the first I'm hearing of this, and you would think
that it would happen more often with whole bodies. I
just never thought about it.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, I guess, especially in the United States, it seems
weird because I don't know specific cultures that do it
on the off of the top of my head, so
I don't want to just throw anything out there, but
I know that some cultures do do this burial practice.
But yeah, I am surprised because, you know, I feel
like when bodies normally turn up, it's not something straightforward
like this person was buried at sea and you're saying
(21:45):
they had all the telltale signs of that. And then
we started looking it up and it's like, it seems
like it's pretty easy to do and you just have
to notify the EPA within thirty days following the event.
I mean, do you have to get this I know
they issued permit, but you have to get the permit beforehand,
I would assume, so, right I.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I I don't know. I was under the assumption that
somebody had to get the permit, Like I would think
that maybe there would be funeral homes that had to
have this permit, and then underneath that, as long as
the person had the permit to do it, then they
were able to do it. I don't know if like
an individual can just go do this and throw a
body off their boat, but I don't know that that's
(22:26):
just kind of I feel like you're facing many potential
problems with that. Yeah, so it's it's probably more like
it's the same thing, like you're you're not allowed to
just like take a dead body and bury it in
the ground, like you have to go through a funeral
home and permits and all that stuff. So there are
so you don't have to be embombed. You could be cremated, embombed,
(22:47):
non embombed, whatever. There are some rules and this is
from like a governmental website, so these are the official
rules that you're not allowed to do it if the
remains are placed in ocean waters within three nautical mile
from shore. You're not allowed to place non human remains
such as pets, And I think I understand why they
might not want to do that just because of illnesses
(23:10):
that they may have that they may think could be
transmitted to the animals in the ocean. Not sure, just
that's that's just like a wild assumption there. And they
want you to make sure that you're using materials that
are readily decomposable in a marine environment. But at the
same time they say that if you are putting someone
(23:30):
in that you should like put weight on them, like
a steel chain to pull them down, which I'm like, well,
that doesn't really break down in the ocean either, right,
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I don't know, because then I would assume, like in
this woman's case, you're going in with a wrap or
some type of other thing wrapping your body. But then
there's there's all these suggestions for what to do with
a casket, so people are putting whole caskets in there. Yeah,
they were saying that US Navy members who get buried
at have a metal casket, but there's all these rules
(24:02):
for how they need to be I guess the.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Bigger question or like that. I've never thought of is
that in theory, if bodies are getting thrown into the
ocean and there's animals scavenging on them, are are we
potentially eating those animals? I mean, think about that. I
don't know. I know that there's certain kind of fish
(24:25):
that would eat off of a dead body, and I'm
not sure if they're ones that we would typically eat,
And I'm not really sure about ocean animals like that
much to say which ones are. Which they did mention
because there was some questions about what if someone wanted
to get buried in a river of water or a
(24:46):
lake or something like that, And there's all just different
roles for different things. Most of them have to do
with how deep the water is.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
There's also some different rules with where you're doing it
in the United States, so they're saying generally it has
to be three nautical miles from land in the ocean
waters at least six hundred feet deep. But then they're
saying in certain areas specifically east central Florida west of Pensacle,
Florida to the Mississippi River delta, they have to be
(25:14):
in at least eighteen hundred feet deep water.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
So that probably has to do with like the hurricanes
and the stirring up of the water, and how likely
it is that it's going to wash ashore. I guess
they're more worried about I just I really am kind
of mind bloom like by this. I can't believe that
that they're not washed ashore more frequently. Also, one interesting
thing to me, too, is that they said that they
(25:38):
might not ever find out who the person is. And
I'm kind of like, why there's not some kind of
logs of who is getting thrown in the water. Well,
that's what I was saying earlier with their saying you
have to alert the EPA within thirty days following the burial.
So are you how many people got buried in the
(25:58):
water with the past third?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah? So are you getting the permit beforehand? And then
you have to submit the details of it after? I
would like to know. I'm sure somebody listening knows exactly
how this process works. But I am so fascinated that
this happens in the United States, and it's just it
seems like it's pretty easy and manageable to do.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
So it is kind of scary, like scary you think
about being buried underground. Some people are a little freaked
out about that. I mean, I feel like being buried.
Buried in the water is also terrible. Obviously you're going
to decompose and break down faster in the water, but
just the thought of being deep in the ocean by
yourself is very scary too.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
All right, let's move on to Questions of the Day.
Every Friday at the at mother nos Death Instagram account,
you guys can head over to our story and ask
us whatever questions you want. First. For organ donors, is
there an age restriction? What makes you not suddenly ineligible? So, no,
there's not an age restriction.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Think about this. Sometimes there's babies that are born that
need heart transplant or need a liver transplant, and obviously
you can't take the heart or a liver from a
twenty five year old who dies in a car accident.
So there has to be organ donors from every age range, unfortunately,
and as far as not being eligible, there's definitely things
(27:17):
that would make a person ineligible, certain infections like TB viral, meningitis, CJD,
things like that they don't want to transplant those organs.
Sometimes when you are donating an organ, they will send
a piece of it down to the leb and do
a biopsy to make sure that the tissue is healthy.
So if the tissue doesn't look healthy, either by a
(27:39):
disease process or if the person has active cancer, that
would also be a reason for them not to want
to transplant an organ. But there are situations like HIV
and stuff that you would think, oh no, you wouldn't
want to donate that organ, or you wouldn't want to
transplant that organ, but they've done it. And if you
think about this, like if you're on the list and
(28:01):
you need to get a new liver, you are going
to die if you don't get that liver and soon.
So you might take a liver that might not be
the greatest thing in the world. It might be a
person that had something like that, but it will give
you time, and right now you don't have time. So
it's it's kind of like a desperation thing because there's
(28:23):
so many people that are on the list and there's
just not enough organs for all those people, and so
many people die every day that are on the list
that are waiting.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
So.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
They are they they just don't want to give a
person way more problems than they potentially would get with
a healthier one. So but yeah, I mean if kids,
I mean, unfortunately people, the car accidents are like the
biggest things for donors and healthy people who are dying
a child anything like that. I mean, it's so sad,
but really it helps other kids that are living that
(28:55):
need it.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
All right. Second, does cancer keep growing when a person
or does it stop when the person dies?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
No cells need oxygen in order to be alive and
to reproduce, so no replicate, No, they don't. It dies when,
just like your whole body dies. There's even this rumor
that goes around that your hair and your nails dot
grow when you die, and that's not true either. It's
just that your tissues lose water and it shrinks down,
(29:23):
so it appears like your hair is getting longer and
your nails are getting longer, but they're really not. Everything
stops all right.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Last, where can I find the coffee table book? Like
our book? Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Like yeah, like Antennie's and I You can find it
at Barnes and Noble. They have it. They have it
on Amazon. You can go to our website and order it.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah, so on our website it's thedoormatter dot com slash book.
We lead you to anywhere that sells it, so we
have a link for international orders UK, several retailers in
the US. And then you could also order a book
plate sticker, so you will sign that sticker, we'll mail
it out and then you can put it in your book.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, and there's a little spot on the website where
you could fill out exactly what you want me to write.
I have never turned anybody down for their requests, so
don't ask for anything to outrageous. But yeah, and it's fun.
Some people write really fun messages to people, so it's cool. Yeah.

Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi.
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, we're
going to be talking about Scott Peterson getting an ass
whooping in prison, a track star that says she accidentally
(00:31):
beat her competition with a baton, police finding a dead
person randomly on top of a woman, penis enlargement, and
burials at sea. Let's talk about this Scott Peterson situation.
It's about time someone kicked his ass, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
So Scott Peterson, who was famously convicted of murdering his
wife Lazy and their unborn child, he got attacked in
prison over a pickleball debate.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
The pick like you guys know how I feel about that.
The hipster sport that just all of a sudden is
popular within the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's a classic what's wrong with your generation situation with a.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Out of me.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Even though the sport has been around I think over
one hundred years, but there has been a surge in
the last decade. It's not like it just popped up
last year like it did in your mind. It's been
popular for the last couple of years, but I guess
it has hit the prison system. So he was he
was playing pickleball against another inmate, and they're saying that
he purposely I don't know. This is alleged that he
(01:35):
purposely hit this ball at the other inmate, which pissed
that guy off, and then he beat the shit out
of him.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's funny because when he got arrested, in everything and
throughout his trial, he always it's it's hard to think
of him killing his pregnant wife because he always seems
like he's so what's the word that I'm looking for.
He has no emotions or something. He looks like a
very that. He's not an aggressive person at all. Right,
(02:04):
you never get that vibe like he's so chill. I
don't know, but like I think he's like a little
off honestly.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's how those people are though a lot of times
that are murdering other people, they're like quiet, recluse people.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I don't know, I don't know. So so, yeah,
it's interesting that he got pissed off and tried to
hit someone with And I guess that goes with our
next story too, right, But yeah, so he got beat
up in jail. It's kind of interesting. I mean, I
know people are in prison and stuff, but it's just
kind of like, you're in prison the rest of your
(02:38):
life was supposed to be get killed by the death penalty,
and that's not happening now, and you're just enjoying a
day out in the sign in California with the mountains
around you, playing pickleball outside. It's just weird.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I mean, he's been in jail since what roughly like
two thousand and four, maybe since he was arrested in
two thousand and three, and I'm really surprised he's lasted
this long without I mean, has he gotten any other
big fights, because usually when we hear of stories like this,
other prisoners are really not okay with like sex offenders
and children or child killers. Yeah, so I'm surprised he
(03:15):
hasn't been in any other situations like this before. But
I mean, the injuries he got from this pickleball fight
were not really that bad. He didn't have to go
to the hospital or anything, like I.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Think he needed a little asspo But no, I think
it's it put a smile on everyone's face. You could
see it on the internet, like nobody was just like
appalled by it, even a little bit, but no, I.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Think most people think it's funny and well deserved because
he's a piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So let's talk about this track star who also took
seemingly took her aggression out on someone.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So this video goes viral from this track meet, and
it's kind of weird. I mean, I'm sure you watched
it when you were writing up your notes for this.
But they're like rounding the corner of this relay race,
and it peers that one of the girls purposely takes
her baton and hits the girl like coming up next
to her that's lightly in front of her, over the head.
That girl ended up getting a concussion. They think she
(04:10):
might have a skull fracture, and the chick that hit
her is saying it was an accident.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I don't know. I'm not an expert, and I am
an expert. I'm a life expert, okay, Like that girl
looked like she just was was trying to give her
a beatdown and hurt her, Like, your arms don't go
all the way back like that when you're not trying
to hurt somebody. And you can watch her arms the
entire time they're at this one and this one position
(04:38):
holding the baton, and then all of a sudden, she
gets close to this girl and just starts like putting
her arm back and forth so hard with the baton
and hitting the girl. I just don't understand how it
was an accident. And furthermore, the chick hasn't apologized to
the girl that got injured. And if you hit somebody
by accident and they had to go to the hospital,
(05:00):
what in the normal reaction be for you to be like,
oh my god, I'm so sorry, I feel terrible.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah. I mean, she's arguing that she lost her balance
and it was just kind of like a wrong place,
wrong time situation, Like the other girl that got hit
ended up cutting the corner at the same exact time
she was trying to like flail and she balance and
she got pissed.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
She got pissed. That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So I think when you really look at the video,
it is genuinely difficult to tell if it was intentional
or not. But when you think of the lack of
apology and everything else like that, you could easily argue
that it was intentional.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I mean, yeah, like people are going online and saying
really racist and mean things to her, and I don't
think that's necessary. But also it's just like, dude, you're
putting yourself in this position because you're trying to tell
all of us not to believe what we're looking at.
I mean, anybody would say that she's given her a
beat down. And it's interesting because track and field is
(05:59):
considered to be a relatively safe spot. I mean, you
could get a ton of orthopedic injuries for sure, like
achilles tendonitis and muscle strain and things like that, but
it's not common for people that do track and field
to get traumatic brain injuries and concussions that may affect
them later in life. And these people always carry batons
(06:19):
and this has never happened accidentally like this, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I was just surprised the damage was so severe because
these things, I know they're made from aluminum, but they're
pretty light, like they're only an ounce. But I guess
when you add the force of a human behind it,
that's where it could be you.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Could punch someone in the head and break their skull.
So it's just especially having a piece of metal in
your hand like that, it's totally possible and it could
have just fractured. I mean when they say a skull fracture,
there's over twenty bones in the skull. It could have
been a simple like a small little hairline fracture and
one of the one of the smaller bones within the skull.
(06:53):
But regardless, like she had a concussion, she had a
traumatic brain injury. And it's like, you guys have to
watch a bit because there's in my opinion, you don't
really hear anybody saying that this is that they believe
it's an accident, right besides her and her parents. No.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I mean, I think if you just watched the video,
it's not super easy to tell. But the lack of
remorse on the girl that did it kind of says
it all for me. So like, you can't you exactly
what you're saying. It's very unusual that if you would
hurt somebody genuinely by accident, that you would not apologize
to them at all for it, if it really was
an accident. So this next.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Story is very unusual. Why don't you, I would say, unusual?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's so confusing in many ways. So police got a
call to go to this mobile home park in Michigan,
and when they get there, they find this woman who
is very much alive, lying on her bed, but underneath
of a dead man.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I don't even understand how this happened. So police said
that it was obvious he was a victim of homicide,
which means he had to be pretty beaten up. If
this was determined, what out any kind of an autopsy.
Had several signs that he had blunt trauma. They didn't
say what caused it, and this was in the head,
the blunt trauma, and he was stabbed several times in
(08:12):
the chest and neck. I don't understand. So she did it,
she gets arrested for it. She was taken to the
hospital for evaluation, obviously, but then she would have had
to move his dead body on top of her body.
It's like, it's well, I was interesting. Well, I was
thinking about the scenarios of this, like were they having
(08:36):
sex and then she used it as an opportunity to
kill him? Was she trying to prevent an assault? Was
he abusive and like holding her down or something? They
said there was a child in the home that was unharmed.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Who called nai will one?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Did she unharmed? Is a light statement, I think, because
I'm pretty sure if you're a child living in a
home where this stuff is taking I'm saying it's definitely harmed,
also not murdered or stabbed.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
But who caught nime on one?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Was it her?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Was it the kid? Was it somebody else in the neighborhood.
I just don't really understand how the police even got there.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I could see your point of being underneath of the
victim like that, But unless she was laying down on
the bed and had something very heavy, like a bookend
that was made out of wraught iron or something in
her hand, and then in the other hand had a knife,
and you know what I mean, Like, it just seems
unlikely that having a man that's usually bigger on top
(09:29):
of you that you would be able to cause that
damage when you're pinned down.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But can't you argue that he was on top of
her and she was beating him trying to get him
off of her, and then maybe there was a knife
or a sharp tool on the nightstand or something that
she was able to.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Like a like a letter opener and she's just on
the nightstand opener is pretty far fetched, but it's totally
it's totally possible. Anything we as we know from this
show and the Gross Room, like anything in the world
is possible, So yeah, it's Also it's interesting though, because
if she was taken to a hospital for evaluation, I'm
(10:06):
thinking that they were like this lady is kind of
messed up, like she needs to get checked out to
see what's going on with her her mental Like why
was she laying there with a dead person on top
of her? Like we don't know how long he was
laying there, we don't know what the deal is. Of course,
there's no other information.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I'm thinking she I'm thinking he was on top of
her when the attack occurred, and I don't know if
he attacked her first or she used it as a
tactic to attack him. But it would be dumb to
do that because like having that heavy of a body
on top of you, obviously she was trapped, so that
wasn't really well thought out. But that's what I'm gonna
(10:43):
go with. Maybe this episode is brought to you by
the Gross Room.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Guys, do you know the biggest story that broke this
week was Gene Hackman and his wife's death, So we
covered that in the Gross Room. It's about a ten
to fifteen minute read, so we really go in way
more detail than we went in in the short amount
of time we have here on mother's death, just going
through all the autopsy findings and seeing like what would
that look like if you were doing an autopsy and
(11:16):
looking for this, and what kind of tests were sent
out and things like that. So that's super interesting. As
promised last week, we're working on Ruby Frank, which is
so disturbing. You see that there's so many of these
family influencers online and my kids would always say, you know, oh,
like they get to play with toys all day and
(11:37):
they're making money and all this stuff, and I'm just like,
I don't think that their life is great because we
know Maria and I know that we do this and
having to get up and do that on a schedule
is a lot for an adult sometimes and think about
trying to make a kid do that. And this is
a lot of behind the scenes of like showing how
the kids really weren't into it and the mom was
(11:58):
getting increasingly frustrated because the kids weren't going along with
how she wanted to make money off of them.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yes, you guys are going to want to head over
to the grossroom dot com to check that out. We're
going to have part one up on March seventeen.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, so of course this episode we need to talk
about penis enlargement. So in Russia, this fifty six year
old man had a penis enlargement procedure involving hyaluronic acid injections.
Shortly after, he experienced difficulties breathing, nausea, weakness, and tremors
before eventually dying. So we talked about this on previous episodes,
(12:38):
that men are getting a hyaluronic acid is fillers that
you hear about people getting in their lips, in their cheeks,
and we talked about that men were starting to get
them to make their penis bigger. And in this case,
I guess he had it done by a professional that
wasn't quite a professional and didn't exactly know where to
inject because there is a large vein in the penis,
(13:01):
and when they did the autopsy on this person, they
saw that the filler was in the head of the
penis and here it had went into this vein and
ended up traveling into his lung and killing him. So
that's called an embolist. So this would be a hyluronic
acid emboliss when it traveled and under the microscope, they
(13:21):
were able to prove that that was what his cause
of death was because they saw this foreign, jelly like
substance inside of the lungs. And they also did this
special test called a spectrograph analysis, which looked at the
foreign substance and identified it as being high luronic acid.
So they were able to prove that that's what killed them.
And that's just something as simple as having an amateur injector.
(13:46):
I mean, people get this all the time and don't
have these problems, but you have to understand the same
thing could happen with your face. When you have a
person that's not a professional or doesn't understand anatomy sticking
a needle into your face, you could have a lot
of problems that can be permanent, could even cause death.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, I mean I thought it was interesting too because
they're saying in this article that generally medical professionals will
advise against getting any of these well not any of
these procedures, but this specific procedure done unless you had
a condition like a micro penis. But I feel like
we are often talking about men getting these done, and
it's not uncommon Yeah, So it's.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Just it's interesting and it goes to our next story,
which is research that's being done to really improve patients
that have a rectile dysfunction and for having erections. So
it's interesting that the research that they're doing on this
right now.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, a team of scientists in the US, China, and
Japan have successfully three D printed a penis implant, which
they're saying could restore a rectile function to rabbits and
pigs right now, but eventually they're hoping for humans. This
story is so weird because, so first let's talk about
the penis as an It has a very complex vascular system.
(15:04):
Blood comes into the penis from arteries and then it
goes into the penis fills up this spongy tissue that's
called the corpus cavnosum, and that is what fills up
with blood to make an erection. And then once the
erection is done, that blood is supposed to leave the
penis via the veins that we were just talking about
with the other story and go back to the heart
to get more oxygen. So that's what is called erectile dysfunction,
(15:28):
and that could occur anywhere along the way. It could
be a problem with the erectile tissue, a problem with
the artery, probably with the veins, problems all the way
up with the heart. There's just a lot of different
things that could cause it. So these researchers took a
pig penis that so this is what I think is interesting.
Pigs that have a rectile dysfunction. I don't even know
(15:48):
how you find them, how they have it? Did they
give it to them? What happened? How do you have
pigs with erectile dysfunction?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I don't know. But these researchers they made a three
D printing with a hydrogel, which is scaffolding that was enough,
it was strong enough to hold the internal pressure of
to fill up with blood to cause an erection. And
they made this three D printed penis essentially or rectile tissue,
and then they lined it with endothelial cells. And endothelial
(16:15):
cells are the cells that line the blood vessels, and
that combination of them showed that their erectile dysfunction went away.
But even more importantly, all of the pigs were able
to breed later and they got all of the pigs pregnant.
There was no problems with fertility, after this, So the
study is super successful in their opinion, at least this
(16:39):
small study they've done. And obviously it's not done to
help erectile dysfunction in pigs. It's done to help humans.
But it's also hopeful for other vascular issues and other
organs like the heart too, So that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I mean it is super cool. I think this
is a thing we bring up all the time, like
glad there's all these studies done for the penis and
not a lot of women tell of issues. But I
mean it is cool, especially if they could boost fertility
and stuff. But I guess they're gonna have to what like,
what's next moving forward to human trials after.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
They I don't know if I don't, I don't even
know if they're really at that point yet, because you
can't oftentimes, you can't just do one study and be
like Okay, it works. You know, they might they might
try a more complex animal or something. They might try human.
Who knows, like other things, like someone might volunteer for this.
I don't know, because if you think about it, like
if you already have a penis, that completely doesn't work anyway,
(17:34):
and this won't risk your life, Like, why not try
it at that point?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, I mean, are they gonna face because the anatomy
of like a penis of a pig is so different
from a human. I mean, will they face challenges with that?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Possibly? Possibly, But but all of the pieces are there,
the same pieces, so obviously, like animals are different and
they're not hundred percent and that's why we always see things,
you know, with the kidney transplants and everything else, like
it always isn't one hundred percent, but it's the closest thing.
So they they still have a lot of figuring out
to do. But a penis implant right now is just
(18:14):
kind of like it's it's just bulky and weird, and
you know, they have to put these cylinders into the
corpus cabernosum, which are these empty they almost look like
exactly like you know those really thick crayons, Yeah, you know,
the thick ones. They're like that. They're like these cylindrical
tubes that are empty their silicone and they fill up
(18:37):
with saline and you have this pump to put the
saline in. When you want to get an erection, that's
usually either it's in the the scrotal sac or it's
like right in their pelvis right there that it's it's
it's a pump that you that you fill up with
to have an erection and then you let it go
to make your erection go away. It's a very invasive surgery.
(18:59):
It causes scarring, which can then lead to other problems,
and it's just awkward to be to not be able
to get an erection without pushing like this little ball
open to make the saline go in. So it would
be a life changing thing for men. You know, there's
a lot of men that have a rectile dysfunction problem,
so it's pretty cool, yeah, for sure. Okay, so, okay,
(19:25):
this is I'm like really excited about this story actually
because I kind of just never thought about this, and
then after reading about it and looking into it, it's
I feel like you guys will be really interested in it.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Well, at first, we were going to report on this
a couple of days ago because these fishermen had caught
a dead body in their net. So of course you're like, well,
how did it get there? Is it somebody that was murdered? No,
it turns out it was a woman buried.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
At sea, So what's so in that situation when you
when they pull a dead body out of the water,
they will take it to medical exact I don't even
know who would do it. I guess it would be
the jurisdiction of whatever waters they're in. I don't know,
if you're in the middle.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Where were they in Massachusetts?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Okay, So they would probably bring it to shore, to
whatever county that's considered in do an autopsy, and from
that autopsy they were able to determine that number one,
she was embalmed, and number two she was around sixty
years old. Number three that she had cancer all over
her body. So with those facts, they were like, and
the way she was presented, wasn't she wrapped in a
(20:32):
shroud or something like that? Those facts, they were like, Okay,
this is a woman that was buried at sea. That's
how they determined that. Well, they said more than likely
she was buried at sea, because you're just not embalmed
for any reason and wrapped up like that and put
in the water. So that's when I started looking into
(20:52):
that because I don't know, I guess I just always
assumed when people were buried at sea that they were
throwing their ashes in the water. Did you know they
were actually throwing intact bodies in the water.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I know that some cultures do it, so like that
wasn't That wasn't the part of the story that shocked me.
I was more surprised that this doesn't happen more often.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, that's what I'm saying, because I'm like, this is
the first I'm hearing of this, and you would think
that it would happen more often with whole bodies. I
just never thought about it.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, I guess, especially in the United States, it seems
weird because I don't know specific cultures that do it
on the off of the top of my head, so
I don't want to just throw anything out there, but
I know that some cultures do do this burial practice.
But yeah, I am surprised because, you know, I feel
like when bodies normally turn up, it's not something straightforward
like this person was buried at sea and you're saying
(21:45):
they had all the telltale signs of that. And then
we started looking it up and it's like, it seems
like it's pretty easy to do and you just have
to notify the EPA within thirty days following the event.
I mean, do you have to get this I know
they issued permit, but you have to get the permit beforehand,
I would assume, so, right I.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I I don't know. I was under the assumption that
somebody had to get the permit, Like I would think
that maybe there would be funeral homes that had to
have this permit, and then underneath that, as long as
the person had the permit to do it, then they
were able to do it. I don't know if like
an individual can just go do this and throw a
body off their boat, but I don't know that that's
(22:26):
just kind of I feel like you're facing many potential
problems with that. Yeah, so it's it's probably more like
it's the same thing, like you're you're not allowed to
just like take a dead body and bury it in
the ground, like you have to go through a funeral
home and permits and all that stuff. So there are
so you don't have to be embombed. You could be cremated, embombed,
(22:47):
non embombed, whatever. There are some rules and this is
from like a governmental website, so these are the official
rules that you're not allowed to do it if the
remains are placed in ocean waters within three nautical mile
from shore. You're not allowed to place non human remains
such as pets, And I think I understand why they
might not want to do that just because of illnesses
(23:10):
that they may have that they may think could be
transmitted to the animals in the ocean. Not sure, just
that's that's just like a wild assumption there. And they
want you to make sure that you're using materials that
are readily decomposable in a marine environment. But at the
same time they say that if you are putting someone
(23:30):
in that you should like put weight on them, like
a steel chain to pull them down, which I'm like, well,
that doesn't really break down in the ocean either, right,
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I don't know, because then I would assume, like in
this woman's case, you're going in with a wrap or
some type of other thing wrapping your body. But then
there's there's all these suggestions for what to do with
a casket, so people are putting whole caskets in there. Yeah,
they were saying that US Navy members who get buried
at have a metal casket, but there's all these rules
(24:02):
for how they need to be I guess the.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Bigger question or like that. I've never thought of is
that in theory, if bodies are getting thrown into the
ocean and there's animals scavenging on them, are are we
potentially eating those animals? I mean, think about that. I
don't know. I know that there's certain kind of fish
(24:25):
that would eat off of a dead body, and I'm
not sure if they're ones that we would typically eat,
And I'm not really sure about ocean animals like that
much to say which ones are. Which they did mention
because there was some questions about what if someone wanted
to get buried in a river of water or a
(24:46):
lake or something like that, And there's all just different
roles for different things. Most of them have to do
with how deep the water is.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
There's also some different rules with where you're doing it
in the United States, so they're saying generally it has
to be three nautical miles from land in the ocean
waters at least six hundred feet deep. But then they're
saying in certain areas specifically east central Florida west of Pensacle,
Florida to the Mississippi River delta, they have to be
(25:14):
in at least eighteen hundred feet deep water.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
So that probably has to do with like the hurricanes
and the stirring up of the water, and how likely
it is that it's going to wash ashore. I guess
they're more worried about I just I really am kind
of mind bloom like by this. I can't believe that
that they're not washed ashore more frequently. Also, one interesting
thing to me, too, is that they said that they
(25:38):
might not ever find out who the person is. And
I'm kind of like, why there's not some kind of
logs of who is getting thrown in the water. Well,
that's what I was saying earlier with their saying you
have to alert the EPA within thirty days following the burial.
So are you how many people got buried in the
(25:58):
water with the past third?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah? So are you getting the permit beforehand? And then
you have to submit the details of it after? I
would like to know. I'm sure somebody listening knows exactly
how this process works. But I am so fascinated that
this happens in the United States, and it's just it
seems like it's pretty easy and manageable to do.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
So it is kind of scary, like scary you think
about being buried underground. Some people are a little freaked
out about that. I mean, I feel like being buried.
Buried in the water is also terrible. Obviously you're going
to decompose and break down faster in the water, but
just the thought of being deep in the ocean by
yourself is very scary too.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
All right, let's move on to Questions of the Day.
Every Friday at the at mother nos Death Instagram account,
you guys can head over to our story and ask
us whatever questions you want. First. For organ donors, is
there an age restriction? What makes you not suddenly ineligible? So, no,
there's not an age restriction.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Think about this. Sometimes there's babies that are born that
need heart transplant or need a liver transplant, and obviously
you can't take the heart or a liver from a
twenty five year old who dies in a car accident.
So there has to be organ donors from every age range, unfortunately,
and as far as not being eligible, there's definitely things
(27:17):
that would make a person ineligible, certain infections like TB viral, meningitis, CJD,
things like that they don't want to transplant those organs.
Sometimes when you are donating an organ, they will send
a piece of it down to the leb and do
a biopsy to make sure that the tissue is healthy.
So if the tissue doesn't look healthy, either by a
(27:39):
disease process or if the person has active cancer, that
would also be a reason for them not to want
to transplant an organ. But there are situations like HIV
and stuff that you would think, oh no, you wouldn't
want to donate that organ, or you wouldn't want to
transplant that organ, but they've done it. And if you
think about this, like if you're on the list and
(28:01):
you need to get a new liver, you are going
to die if you don't get that liver and soon.
So you might take a liver that might not be
the greatest thing in the world. It might be a
person that had something like that, but it will give
you time, and right now you don't have time. So
it's it's kind of like a desperation thing because there's
(28:23):
so many people that are on the list and there's
just not enough organs for all those people, and so
many people die every day that are on the list
that are waiting.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
So.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
They are they they just don't want to give a
person way more problems than they potentially would get with
a healthier one. So but yeah, I mean if kids,
I mean, unfortunately people, the car accidents are like the
biggest things for donors and healthy people who are dying
a child anything like that. I mean, it's so sad,
but really it helps other kids that are living that
(28:55):
need it.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
All right. Second, does cancer keep growing when a person
or does it stop when the person dies?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
No cells need oxygen in order to be alive and
to reproduce, so no replicate, No, they don't. It dies when,
just like your whole body dies. There's even this rumor
that goes around that your hair and your nails dot
grow when you die, and that's not true either. It's
just that your tissues lose water and it shrinks down,
(29:23):
so it appears like your hair is getting longer and
your nails are getting longer, but they're really not. Everything
stops all right.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Last, where can I find the coffee table book? Like
our book? Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Like yeah, like Antennie's and I You can find it
at Barnes and Noble. They have it. They have it
on Amazon. You can go to our website and order it.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah, so on our website it's thedoormatter dot com slash book.

have a link for international orders UK, several retailers in
the US. And then you could also order a book
plate sticker, so you will sign that sticker, we'll mail

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, and there's a little spot on the website where
you could fill out exactly what you want me to write.
I have never turned anybody down for their requests, so
don't ask for anything to outrageous. But yeah, and it's fun.
