Speaker 1 (00:08):
Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi.
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. Let's get started with
the story of the week. So, unfortunately for us, because
we are the biggest Phillies fans of all time, the

(00:29):
Dodgers won the World Series. But I guess better that
they won than the Yankees. They're like, alright to me,
yeah exactly. I was definitely hyped that the Dodgers won
versus any New York team, sorry New York fans. And
I also think that Otani really deserves a ring. I mean,
right now, he's statistically one of the best baseball players

(00:49):
of all time, So how messed up would it be
if he went his entire career and didn't even win
a World Series. Well, we have a similar thing happening
with with Bryce Harper, right, But let's get to the
more relevant material for this podcast. So they won last
Wednesday night, and then, of course celebrations were going crazy.

(01:10):
Immediately when they won, people started flooding the streets of
Los Angeles, and then, as with any celebration in the
United States, fireworks always have to be involved, and naturally,
somebody blew their hand off yes, it's always fireworks alcohol
and there was some crime happening. There was some looting, fires,
just craziness going on. But yeah, the firework injury was

(01:34):
on film. So this guy had lit a firework and
there's footage of him blowing some of his fingers off
and bleeding all over the place. Yeah, I mean, I
just don't understand. We talk about fireworks so much between
our Instagram, this show in the gross room, I don't
understand what people are thinking. This guy seemed to have

(01:56):
lit it and then immediately it went off in his hand,
and he seemed to in shock for a couple of
minutes too, and not even realize exactly what happened. And
you could see people in the video visibly freaking out
because there's blood everywhere and disgusting scene. If you, if
I had to place a bet, I would say that
there is one hundred percent alcohol involved in this, as

(02:17):
with so many of them. Right, Oh yeah, but yeah,
so it I mean, pyrotechnic experts say that you should
light fireworks at least fifty feet away so you don't
have accidents like this. There's the most accidents that they
see in the emergency room are from the hands because
people are holding them when they ignite them. But also

(02:37):
it happens often that people lose their vision, they get
injuries on their face and their heads. And there was
about nine over nine thousand people last year seen in
emergency rooms from firework injuries, and eight people died from
you getting injured from a firework. Do you this seems
so American? Do you think these injuries are specific to

(02:59):
the you know, States, or hundred percent they have to
happen in other countries too, but most of them have
to be here. Well, people have this This is considered
to be a blast injury from an explosive, So people
have these kinds of injuries all the time in other
countries just from bombs or other kinds of explosives. You
can also get these kind of injuries from accidents like

(03:21):
if a propane tank explodes or something that would be
more of a serious injury, but any kind of blast
that you're involved with. But yes, I think firework ones
are very specific to the United States, and that's not it.
So later on Friday they had their victory parade, and
you always have to be I don't know, I always

(03:41):
feel stressed out when there's these mass public events. You know,
when the Eagles won the Super Bowl a couple of
years ago, we went to the parade and there were
so many people it's kind of impossible statistically that nothing
would happen. And at their victory parade, apparently this guy
was engaging in what they're saying was graffiti related activity,
and he fell three stories off of the roof of

(04:03):
a building onto the ground and had serious injuries from that. Yeah,
he's in critical condition. I mean, the three stories is
a huge fault. People can survive those falls for sure,
but I mean he could have lots of broken bones,
head injuries, anything. It's just I mean, what he was
doing graffiti during the parade, Yeah, I guess he was

(04:23):
on some rooftops doing graffiti and he must have slipped
and fell onto the ground. So it's really scary to
think about some of the graffiti that I see around Philly.
I really kind of chipped these artists props, like, Yo,
how did you get up that high and get that?
That's like serious talent right there. I think they got
in crazy places. I think it's part of the challenge, though,

(04:45):
seeing the most ridiculous spot you could possibly get to.
Sometimes I see them when we're driving up seventy six
or something and I just think, how did that person
even get there? I really look around to see did
they go from the top, did they go for the side.
But it's it's kind of part of the art, right
is that? So oh yeah, yeah, Okay, celebrity news. So

(05:08):
we had a couple of celebrity deaths this week. So
first was Terry Garr. She's most notable for her roles
in Tutsie, We Love Her from Young Frankenstein and I
also know her as Phoebe's birth mom in Friends. Oh
I didn't. I never really got into Friends. I'll watch
it if it's on, but it wasn't. I don't really
know many of the characters. But she was in this movie.

(05:29):
It's this Scorsese film that is kind of a dark
comedy and it's called After Hours. Have you ever seen it? No? Oh,
it's so good, you should watch it. Okay, I'll put
on the list. But yeah, she's she's kind of in eighties.
She was in Dumb and Dummer too. Oh. I didn't
even realize that. Yeah, when you think back, you're like, oh, yeah,
she was in that. So yeah, she had ms. She

(05:49):
died from complications of MS. MS is an autoimmune disease
that attacks the milin sheath of your nerves. Do you
know what that is? No, absolutely not. So you have
your nerves connect from your brain to the rest of
your body, and they're insulated with this material that's called myelin.
And what happens is in any autoimmune disease, it's when
your body is attacking a part of your own body,

(06:12):
it recognizes it as foreign and what it does is
the mylin is kind of if you think about electric
wires that are covered in a sheath to protect them.
It's the same sort of thing. So when that mylin
is missing in different areas, that depends on the symptoms
that the person's having. So in this case, she was
in a wheelchair for a portion of her life, and

(06:33):
with MS, you could have flaires. So sometimes it's kind
of you could have really bad symptoms and then you
could have times of remission where you really don't have symptoms.
And it all depends on how bad that myline sheath
is damaged and in what location of the body it's in. Yeah,
And she was saying at first when she was diagnosed,
she was really hesitant about speaking out about it because

(06:55):
she was afraid she wasn't going to get any jobs,
and then she ended up becoming the spokeswoman for the
National Multiple Sclerosa Society. So that's pretty cool. I mean,
I've been seeing a lot of celebrities that are diagnosed
with this being very public about it. I think Christina
Applegate and Jamie Linn Siegler even have a podcast devoted
to talking about dealing with it. Right now, Thelma Blair too, right, Yeah,

(07:17):
Selma Blair has it too. But she said Terry Garse
that she started experiencing symptoms a long time ago when
she was filming TUTSI, which is you know, that was
back in the eighties, so that was eighties, right or nineties.
I feel like that was in the eighties, but I
think the Yeah, I mean most people get diagnosed between
twenty and forty, so it makes sense that that was

(07:38):
probably around the age group she was in at that time.
So yeah, she was cool. Sad to see her go. Yeah.
And then we had Quincy Jones, so he was a
legendary music producer. He is mostly known for Michael Jackson's Thriller,
and then he also orchestrated that song We Are the world.
Do you know that. I'm assuming you know that song
a course of course I remember it. That was a

(08:00):
huge deal and I remember listening to it in the
car the only other radio you know. I just watched
I think Netflix made a documentary about how they made
that song. I actually don't think the song's that great,
considering everybody that was famous at the time it was.
It was a big deal when it came out, and
everybody thought it was awesome because it was was it was.

(08:23):
I feel like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, like every big
person was in it. Right, You're missing his biggest accomplishment
in life, which is the Fresh Prince of bel Air. Okay,
it's like one of my favorite shows. I love it.
I've been watching it with the kids and they really
love it too. So it's you know what I always
say to Gabe, when when someone can write a comedy

(08:46):
that has absolutely no reference to sex or cursing and
it could be hilarious, it's it's just so well written,
you know what I mean, Like you crack up laughing,
and there's nothing in it that's it's pg rated comedy,
you know, just the way it's delivered. So funny. Yeah.
And one of his daughters is Rashida Jones. I really

(09:06):
like her. I don't know if she's in a bunch
of TV shows and movies. I don't know anything specifically
you would have seen her in, but she's in Parks
and Rex. She's really funny. She helped make a documentary
about her dad a couple of years ago. So it's
really cool to see his roots trickling down in Hollywood.
As they called him Nepo baby. He is a really

(09:26):
extraordinary life. Yeah, and you can't even believe that he
lived to be ninety one years old. There was a
period he grew up with a mom who had mental
health issues. There was a period he did drugs and
heroin for a while when he was a teenager. Got
over that he had two brain aneurysms that he survived
out of years ago. Yeah, Like just he just a

(09:48):
lot of different things, and you think, like it's really
cool that somebody could have all of these near death
experiences and live to be ninety one years old. Yeah.
They said he worked on over four hundred albums, he
can put thirty five film scores, and he won twenty
seven Grammy Awards. I mean an incredible accomplishment. Yeah, he sawesome. Yeah,

(10:08):
all right, the drama of Peanut the Squirrel. You might
be asking, how is this relevant to when we're talking
about you. Peanut the Squirrel is a celebrity that died
this week. We just have to acknowledge it. But there
is relevance to our story. So first let me but
before you get into all right, why don't you tell
what happened first, and then I'll tell my side of

(10:30):
the story. All right. So I first heard of Peanut
the Squirrel when his handler, Mark was on GANDHI show
Sauce on the Side earlier this year. Okay, so I
missed that episode, so I didn't learn about Peanut the
Squirrel until like yesterday. But our squirrel has been around
for a long time. So like I was behind, but

(10:51):
you're really really behind not knowing who. Yeah, so I like,
I can't wait to tell you guys, my first impression
of just like learning about this whole thing after the fact.
To go continue, Okay, So seven years ago, Mark, who
was Peanuts handler, was in New York City and saw
a squirrel get hit by a car and run in
the middle of traffic to try to save this squirrel,

(11:12):
but dad squirrel had died. But then he saw that
a baby squirrel was still alive, so he took the baby,
and the baby is Peanut, so he brought he. When
he was driving home, he calls the vet and the
Vet's like, we're gonna put the squirrel down. So he's like,
I can't live with this because you know, people that
are like huge animal rights people are never gonna be okay.
It was something like that. So he brings the squirrel

(11:33):
home and gets it rehabbed and everything and lets it
live and releases it outside, and then it got injured
and became a domesticated house squirrel, as he explained, so
the squirrel starts living in the house. So over the
years he ended up forming this animal rescue. He has
all these animals on his property. He ended up meeting
his wife through Peanut, the squirrel being this viral sensation,

(11:56):
which is super cool. And then a couple of months
ago they acquired this raccoon. So this Karen goes on
this rampage and is not okay with these animals. The
squirrel in the raccoon living in Mark's house and calls
New York to take care of it. Okay, So that
so the authorities. I there's part of the story that

(12:17):
I feel like something's missing because I can't really believe
that this happened the way that it's being reported it happened.
But it seems like the authorities showed up to his
house in a kind of FBI situation where you would
think that's what happened in like Goodfellas, when they came
in to find drugs, right, and they were looking for

(12:38):
these animals, And during the time they were looking for
these animals, they found them, but the squirrel bit one
of the investigators. They're saying, this squirrel bit one of
the people that were raiding the house, which isn't necessary
to FBI style raid someone's house when they have a
squirrel living in there. Think about this, I don't, No,

(13:00):
I feel like there has to be more to the story.
It just seems so silly. So yeah, so they were
saying like they couldn't even go in the bathroom without
somebody watching over them. They were at the house for
hours and then they seized a peanut, the squirrel and
Fred the raccoon took them and then euthanized them. Yeah,
so I'm not sure what the protocol is for the

(13:21):
health department there. But the reason that they would usethanize
them is because they are saying that Now this is
where it gets to being relevant to us. They were
saying that they were testing them for rabies. And when
you're trying to test an animal for rabies, the only
way that you can do it is to take a

(13:42):
full cross section through the brain stem and the cerebellum.
And the only way to get a large portion of
the brain like that is at autopsy or neckropsy. If
you're talking about animals, that's an animal autopsy. So they
had to put them down in order to test them
for this. However, Comma and listen, rabies is rabies is terrible.

(14:07):
The reason they want to make sure that people don't
get rabies is because there's only been like twenty reported
cases of people that have had rabies that have survived it.
It's terribly fatal. Right now, we'll get to the whatever. However, Comma, squirrels,
all mammals can have rabies, can get rabies, but squirrels

(14:31):
never There's no reported cases of squirrels ever getting brabies.
It's just so if you get bit by let's say
when you get bit by a dog, or you get
bit by something certain animals that are considered low risk.
If you go to the doctor, they will not say
to you you should really get a rabies vaccine because
this is a high risk situation. If you got bit

(14:52):
by a squirrel in the wild, they would not tell
you to get a rabies vaccine. So this guy getting
bit by an animal which the animal was threatened, you
would say, right, yes, okay, this isn't just like you're
you're sitting outside eating popcorn and a squirrel comes up
to you and bite you on the leg. This is
like a threatening situation to me, this is an abnormal

(15:15):
behavior that you would think that this squirrel had rabies.
I don't even know why you would think a squirrel
that was living inside a house for eight years would
have rabies. But that's a side note, right, It's just
now we can talk about the raccoon, however, because raccoons
are the animal that carries rabies the highest. That's most

(15:37):
of the cases of rabies that are reported or in raccoons.
But they didn't say the raccoon bit anyone. They said
the squirrel did. And maybe their justification was that they
thought the squirrel might have had rabies, and therefore the
raccoon could have been exposed to the rabies too, and
that's why they did it. But this kind of this
kind of just looks really bad. Did they know that

(15:59):
this is like an Internet famous squirrel that that has
a million followers or whatever. First of all, allegedly this
person I'm not gonna say a name, but allegedly this
photographer that had an Instagram account that's bio said I
hate squirrels that live in Texas, reported reported Peanut. It's horrible.
But I don't know they had you know, they had

(16:22):
a name. I just said earlier. They had an animal rescue.
They had over one hundred other animals on the property,
and they only seize the squirrel and they're raccute. All right,
So this is my perspective. I'm just reading the news
and I read about this Instagram famous squirrel that died
and all, and I go on and I had never
heard of it, and I click on the link which
brings me to the Instagram and I start watching the

(16:43):
videos and I'm like, oh, that's cute. It's a squirrel.
And then all of a sudden, it's just like it's
a little weird I from because I don't know anything
about this story. I'm like, why is this like camera
on this giant breasted person with a squirrel sitting on
top of these giant boobs, And why is this guy

(17:03):
running up to the camera and all I'm staring at
is his penis because his pants are so tight, Like
it's I'm obsessed with it, Like I'm like the squirrel
Daddy on OnlyFans. Okay, So I didn't know any of this,
that there was any kind of link to that. I
just was like, what is happening here right now? It
was so insane, So so explain what, Like how how

(17:26):
do they make money off of this squirrel? Well, like,
what's it? You know, it's he's like any content creator basically,
So he's he's basically the funniest probably I wanted to
tell you. So I'm reading, I guess like him and
his lawyer or something was doing press conferences and the
things they were saying were just kind of like funny.

(17:48):
They're like he had the most followers of any squirrel
on TikTok. They were like saying this seriously, like it's
just so silly. We're talking about a squirrel having followers,
and I'll be they're upset about it because I know
it's their pet. I don't want to sound like like
I'm not being sensitive, but I mean if somebody came
in my house and took my cat and ethanized it,

(18:08):
I would be really upset. But also if my cat
was my money maker, I'd be even more upset. Right, Like,
how making money off of this? This squirrel is a
contact creator essentially, so like you have to assumed they're
getting you know, sponsored ads. Also, the guys on OnlyFans,
so I think he's making most of his money on OnlyFans.
Was he on OnlyFans before the squirrel? I am not

(18:32):
entirely sure. I feel like it came after to his
tight pants with the squirrel. Are they bringing people from
Instagram to only fans? Is there some kind of thing
with these two having sex? Like they're very sexy people.
He actually had I think he said he had a
hockey injury and he had to get some surgery on
his groin and then some company that was trying them

(18:55):
to wear extra tight pants into his package all the time. No,
so this company's sent him these pants for like a
sponsored deal and they were really tight, and then he
got like a lot of momentum from that. Oh my,
so then it just kind of built from there. I mean,
he's a good looking guy. Like I know, I just
I just caught me off guard, that's all. It just

(19:15):
caught me off guard. But I don't know, I I do,
I know, all laughs aside and everything, I do feel bad.
I think it's very dramatic in the way this house
was raided. I mean, they're saying something that he didn't
have the proper certificates or license to have wild animals
like this, but he also had an animal rescue, so

(19:35):
I don't know how that works. I don't know the
entire logistics. It's reminding me of the Chimp lady and
just like having this jimp in her basement, Like maybe
you could have some animals legally, and you just can't
take whatever you want and assume it's under the same
You can't. You can't like that's you can't because they
have to draw the line somewhere. But at the same time,
this just seemed a little extreme, right. This thing has

(19:57):
been famous on the internet for years, so why now,
I don't know, But this is just a reminder that
there's always like some jealous hater out there that's going
to try to ruin your life, you know. And well
this chick like canceled all her social media accounts and
her website are all because once I saw teput postinger picture,

(20:19):
I was just like, wait, I got to see who
this lady is and what her deal is. But it
just it seems even more caring because it's not like
it's not like his next door neighbor that's being affected
by by a lot of press around or something like that.
It's like someone in another state that's just being a
troll behind the computer and telling on him for and
like could listen if you watch any of the videos,

(20:41):
that squirrel was living its life. It was having like
waffles every day and stuff. It was living a life
and it was very excited. There was a bond with
the owners for sure, So it didn't look like the
animal was in any harm at least from the videos
that I looked at. I mean not that I was
looking at the squirrel, because I was just looking at
a giant penis in front of my face the whole time.

(21:01):
But side note, I always say, though, just no matter
what you're doing, you could be this angel that gives
all your money to you know, dying kids. Somebody will
have a problem with what you're doing. There are just
trolls in every corner of the internet. So it's like
it if he wasn't taking the squirrel stayed in the house,
it never left, leave them alone. Who cares? They got

(21:24):
it an effect you in the slightest agreed. Okay, let's
talk about Pete Davidson. So a couple of years ago
he had said he was gonna slowly remove all of
his tattoos so he could pursue some more acting jobs,
because he was saying he was constantly in the makeup
chair for hours and hours and hours and it will
always held them up. Also, my opinion, his tattoos are
really horrible, so like he should have been working together there.

(21:47):
There is definitely a thing that famous people with a
lot of money have the worst tattoos out there. It's
there's a correlation between it. I don't know what it is,
especially you could see back the day. Maybe just because
like when I started getting tattooed in the nineteen ninety
five or nineteen ninety six, there was magazines to look

(22:07):
at and usually went to local places. But there is
absolutely no excuse these days when there's great artists in
every city all around and you have Instagram to see
their work and everything. Yeah. So, like I guess a
year or two ago, he hasn't been seen out in
a while because he went to rehab. In his latest

(22:28):
public appearance last week, you know, it's the first time
people have really seen paparazzi pictures of him, and it
appears that he's had most of them removed and it
looks pretty good. I think, yeah, it does. I always
think because the article was saying that there's been studies
done that up to twenty four percent of people who
get tattoos regret them, I think the thumber's much higher,
to be honest, hundred percent much higher. Yeah, And I

(22:51):
always think, like it really if I could go and
just get all of them removed and have my my
normal skin again, like I would do that in a heartbeat.
I just get garrett about the laser process because I
don't want, like, right now they look good, and what
if you get it done and it doesn't completely remove it,
and then you have all this like shitty tattoos which
you can get tattooed over again. But like, I just

(23:13):
don't I don't want to. Like I just if I
could go back, i'd want my regular skin. But I
don't know if I would go through the laser process.
It can be very, very painful. They also do excisions,
which they wouldn't do on anyone like me because I
have too many. But if you have a small tattoo
in an area where you could lose a couple millimeters
of skin, they'll definitely just cut it out. There's and

(23:36):
you could do derm abrasion too. I think the only
person I know that's had it done is Gabe, and
it looked so incredibly painful, just the healing process. So yeah,
but it worked. I mean he got his knuckles lasered
so he could get I think his plan was is
that he wanted to get new tattoos, so he had
his knuckles done in part of his forearm, and it worked.

(23:57):
I mean, he does not even have knuckle tattoos anymore,
and the one on his arm is so faded. He
could get tattooed over. But I don't know if I
would ever want to go through that. Now. That was
already like fifteen years ago, and I'm sure the lasers
have improved. I would I would go to a specialist
for something like that and get numbed, for sure. But

(24:18):
it could take so many sessions, especially if you have
newer tattoos that are really bright and the black and
the blue respond well to the laser, but other colors don't.
You could have to go for ten sessions, and those
sessions could cost anywhere from like five hundred to a
couple thousand dollars a session, so it's more expensive than

(24:39):
the tattoo costs to get. I think that's the advantage
of him having He had a lot of black work
done and they were shitty like they were almost looked
like homemade tattoos, right, But those respond the best to
the laser. You know. No, I think it looks good.
I think it was a wise decision. I mean, he
was really young when he got cast on Saturday Night Live,

(25:02):
so he just became really famous at a very young age,
and I think you just kind of go nuts and
you party a lot, and things like this happened. So
I think I think today he looks very healthy, like
the most healthy version I've seen of him since I've
been watching him on TV. You know, Yeah, Okay, we
only have one freak accident this week, but let's get

(25:24):
into this story because it's quite the story. Yeah, I mean,
I guess the Dodgers ones were considered accidents too, but
it is rare that this category is really small, but
this one's insane. So over the weekend in Scotland, people
were out on a Saturday night, hitting the bars like
normal young people do, and on the street some people
notice what they thought was a Halloween prop so they

(25:45):
walked over to it and picked it up, only to
realize in their absolute horror that it was a real
severed human head. Oh my god, could you imagine what
it was? It was late at night, right, like they
were probably drinking and having a good time. It was
like nine o'clock. Yeah, but I mean if you start
at six or seven o'clock with a drinken like you have,

(26:06):
you know, I mean, we you can be feeling kind
of good. I know. Wow. And so the craziest part
is is I guess that there was a video of
this floating around on social media and the authorities have
come out and begged and plead with the public to
stop sharing it because the family members know that it's

(26:26):
their family member and they don't want to come across
this video online by accident. So apparently what happened is
that this seventy four year old man got hit by
a bus at some point, And I just have many questions,
like was he hit right before this? Where was his body?
How did his head end up here? I'm just very
confused about it. If he was hit by a bus,

(26:50):
did where the authorities there investigating the crash or no?
Like this is what's not clear, because it seemed like
the cops did come until somebody picked the head up
and realized it was real, and then they came. So
maybe the bus hit the guy and they didn't even
realize they hit the guy, which is insane that a
bus could just hit a whole person and like nobody

(27:12):
saw it. I just something about this story isn't adding
up necessarily well me. And if his head was severed,
then it's likely that either the bus was going really
fast or that somehow his head got caught under a
wheel like something. There had to be some significant force
or object that cut his head, his entire head off

(27:35):
and severed it through the spinal column and through the
vertebral bones. That's just that just doesn't happen if a
bus is creeping up the street going ten miles an hour,
you know what I mean. I mean, something significant happened.
Obviously if the guy's head popped off. Is it possible
that the bus hit him so fast that his head
popped off and the rest of his body is still

(27:56):
mangled in the tire somewhere or like, yeah, I just
don't understand how they're separated and nobody knew where it
came from. Seeing there's lots of different scenarios. The guy
could have also had a heart attack or something and
fell in the street, and the boss could have ran
his body right over. There's lots of I mean, obviously
they'll they'll do an autopsy. One thing is that from

(28:18):
the video I saw when they picked when the head
was there, I only found one video because it has
been pretty wiped from the internet, it doesn't appear that
there's a ton of blood around anywhere. Now, that doesn't
mean that it couldn't have flew multiple feet from the
actual accident scene and stuff, But it's possible that, like
I said, like, if the guy had a heart attack

(28:39):
and maybe dropped dead on the street, he could have
already been dead when he got hit by the boss.
I don't know. They'll do an autopsy and they'll be
able to tell that. Yeah, And people at one of
the bars on the street said they were in the
bar just you know, being normal, having drinks, just chilling out,
and then some announcement came over that said everybody had
to leave, and when they said it was due to
a severed head, they were like, oh haha, it's Halloween.

(29:01):
And then they're like, no, there's seriously a real human
severed head on the street and we need to close
the block down. There was actually a similar story to
this week in the news that the police were called
for human remains found near a river, and then when
the police went to identify the human remains near the river,
it ended up being old, discarded Halloween decorations. It's like

(29:24):
an opposite situation. Yeah, I mean, we had that story
a couple months ago where that woman was walking her
dog on the beach and she thought she came across
a dead woman, but it ended up being a really
realistic sex doll. Remember, Yes, So it is kind of
crazy because you have to think, I think, even if
you saw a severed head in the middle of March.
You might still just in your brain be like this

(29:46):
can't possibly be real. I mean, most people that find
real dead bodies always are saying that they thought it
was a mannequin. So you remember when we started mother
nos Death last year. It's been our one year anniversary,
by the way, was on the November one. One of
the first stories we covered was this guy who was
a landscaper who thought that there was a Halloween prop

(30:08):
on the lawn and mowed around it and then it
ended up being an actual dead body. So it's just
funny that these stories happen around Halloween time. Yeah, I mean,
I think part of your brain is like this is
so outrageous that it can't be real, and that's where
you go. But to actually go pick it up and
then realize what just happened is horrific. Yeah, that person's

(30:29):
going to need some therapy for real. Oh yeah, okay,
let's get into the true crime stories of the week.
This one's really disturbing. So this woman and her two
children were in Niagara Falls and they were seen at

(30:51):
this popular overlook. It was around nine o'clock at night,
which is kind of late, but apparently this overlook is
open twenty four to seven. So suddenly the mother is
said to have stepped over the guardrail with the kids
and then allegedly she pushed them over the two hundred
foot drop and then jumped in the falls herself. Yeah,
police are saying that this is definitely an intentional act,

(31:11):
and interviews with witnesses had said some really disturbing details
that made them come to the conclusion that she intentionally
did this. It's just really horrible because the kid, the
kid was nine years old and the other child was
a five month old baby. They haven't found the bodies
or anything yet. And they were saying that the mother
worked as a domestic violence counselor so she seemed to

(31:33):
have a pretty good job, and it just really it's
really sad, and you just have to ask, like, why
would you do something like this. I think she's still
in the window of the postpartum depression psychosis window, you
know that we hear We've been hearing a lot of
disturbing stories about recently. Remember we covered a story it

(31:56):
could be before we even started mother Know's death, the
of the woman that killed her children when her husband
went out to get takeout or medication or something like that,
she like strangled them with exercise chords and everything, and
she was seemingly like had a very good job and
was a very normal person too. So it it's really
really scary. And maybe, you know, sometimes when people work

(32:20):
as domestic violence counselors, they might actually have experience and
history of it themselves, which is why they make really
great counselors because they can speak from experience. They didn't
really say anything else right now, so we're just gonna
kind of wait to hear. But yeah, I imagine how
scared that little especially the nine year old. I mean,

(32:40):
the five month old doesn't know it's you know, isn't
really aware, but a nine year old certainly is. And
that's just so terrifying, right, Yeah, it really is. I don't, like,
I just don't know what could be going through your
mind that you do something like this. And I agree
with you. I think it could be something like a
postpartum depression in her psychosis, as you're saying. And it's

(33:02):
scary to think that, you know, they were missing and
they're watching this security footage in this tourist area and
they see this all go down on video. It's really disturbing.
She didn't live there, right, so she was a resident
of Niagara. I was she ya, So maybe we'll get
more details on it. It's terrible. Yeah, and they don't

(33:22):
really have hope that they're going to find the bodies
at this point. They might want to. I mean, there
was a situation at an another nearby waterfall where a
mother jumped with her child and the mother I believe
was found dead and the son was able to be rescued.
Oh God, but that's because somebody saw and they were
on it immediately.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
I don't know if there was many witnesses to this
specific crime where they realized they were missing and that's
where they had gone, and then reviewing footage then they
realized that's what happened. So nuts, it's really disturbing. Okay.
A couple of years ago in the UK, a guy
was working at this vaccination center and he got into
an argument with one of his managers. So he said, afterwards,
he noticed his bottle of beard oil was on the

(34:05):
manager's desk, so he decided to take that opportunity to
ejaculate into it. He actually said I jizzed, didn't it. Yeah,
that was his exact That was his exact quote, and
then where's the word is just it's disgusting and yes,
even worse, he bragged about this to multiple co workers.
So all right, so what's going through your listen? Like it?

(34:30):
We could start off by saying it's definitely gross and
putting semen inside of beard oil. There's a very low
risk of infection. If this guy had any sexually transmitted
infections like HIV or even herpes, chlamydia, ganeria, anything like that,
the risk of catching something is super low. But I

(34:52):
mean herpes can happen from skin contact, right, So there
is if the guy had an act of viral herpes
infection and and the other guy put that semen directly
on his face or had an open cut on his
chin or something like that, then you could potentially, in theory,
get a sexually transmitted infection that way the whole I mean,

(35:15):
it's gross, it's gross. You can't cause harm to another person, Like,
what's wrong with you that you're doing it? I don't
understand the satisfaction in that. But it's just like wells
like it's like a territory peeing. I don't know, maybe
it's like a mouth thing. I don't know. Yeah, and
certainly like, don't go around to everybody bragging that you
did it, because now you've been arrested, so good. Well yeah,

(35:39):
jokes on you. Actually yeah, okay, And did you mention
that they were able to do forensic analysis? Yea, yeah.
So they took the bottle and saw that there was like,
you know, stuff at the bottom of it, so then
they did DNA test sediment. They called it aediment on
the bottom. So then that's when when they evaluated the bottle.

(35:59):
I guess after he bragged all his coworkers he did it,
and they saw there was sentiment on the bottom of
the bottle. That's when the police were contacted. So then
the cops took the bottle and did DNA testing and
it did match the guy that was saying I got it.
So it's really gross think about too, Like what because
you couldn't like mechanically just thinking about that if you
went in the bathroom. I don't know because I'm not

(36:21):
a dude with that equipment, but I'm thinking that you
might not be able to aim it so well into
that little tiny opening of beard oil. So you have
to put it in another way, right, I mean, just
like the whole thing of it is just so weird
it's disgusting. All Right, we have some some pretty outrageous
medical news stories this week. Oh my god, this story

(36:42):
is like, you know, everybody listens already knows. I'm like
obsessed with DNA stories and this is one of the
craziest you know, online DNA kit things that ever happened.
So in twenty twenty one, this guy named Tony got
a DNA testing kit for Christmas. When he got his results,
he was surprised to find that he had a sister,
but it was not the person he knew growing up

(37:02):
as his sister. So he reached out to this woman
who went by the name Claire, and she told him
she had also taken this DNA test a couple of
years before, and it didn't ping any of her parents'
family or the region they lived in or anything, which
was really confusing. It also pinged an unknown relative that
she never ended up connecting with. Wait, so let me

(37:23):
stop you there. So when she did this a couple
of years ago, she found out this information and was like, hmm,
that's weird. Didn't do anything else with it. No, I
don't investigate, I don't think well, she she knew half
of it. Okay, she sawid didn't match her parents, you know,
geographical location, you know how it'll show you all your ethnicities, yeah,

(37:43):
stuff like, I don't think it pinged any of those,
and then it showed this totally random relative. But I
don't think she either thought much of it, or maybe
she asked her parents and they're you know, there's all
these theories too that these tests aren't that accurate or
they could switch your stuff. Maybe she just wasn't thinking
that hard about her. So then when this Tony guy
does it, they match as siblings. So that's more of

(38:05):
a connection than there's maybe some long lost cousin, Right,
So you're gonna maybe take this a little more seriously. Yeah,
So they start talking back and forth, and through their communications,
they realized that Claire and Tony's who he thought was
his sister growing up, were born at the same hospital
fifty five years before this. So then they start speculating

(38:28):
that maybe they had been switched at birth. That you
can't even believe because that's not really that long ago.
I mean, that's that was like sixth the mid to
late sixties. Yeah, it's not that long ago that some
kind of massive error like that should have happened, and
they I guess they contacted the hospital, right, and they

(38:51):
said this was what I thought was really outrageous. They
said there was no documented incidents in its records of
babies being sent home with the wrong parents. Well dall like, well, yeah,
So they said that at first, But then Claire and
Tony decided that Claire was gonna come to his house
and meet his biological mother. So then when Claire gets

(39:12):
to the house, she looks at this woman and is like,
holy shit, I look exactly like this, like, oh, who's
her real mother? So after they figured all this out,
they contacted the hospital, who at first was you know,
we always are talking about hospitals just not taking your responsibility.
We don't have any records. Of course, you don't have
any records because you didn't know what happened. But now
they are taking responsibility and they're trying to figure out

(39:34):
what compensation, if any, could make up for the mistake.
What do you even do if this happens to you? Yeah,
like how I don't know? But guess what, Like there's
more cases of this, I'm sure, Oh there's happened once
by accident, right, there's just no way no. And this
is my thinking behind it, is like obviously you were

(39:54):
raised or you know, maybe that Claire's parents had died
at some point, like you just don't know what's going
on when she got her DNA back. So like, you're
raised by these people your whole life, and in my mind,
that's still your parents, even though they're not biologically your parents.
I mean, I know somebody that this happened to where
they found out their dad wasn't their real dad and
they have connected with that person, but at the same time,

(40:16):
they were like, the person that raised me is my dad,
even though biologically yeah, I get that, but this is
this is just I don't even know what the compensation
would be because it is it's just I understand what
you're saying, like the person you're raised with and everything,
but at the same time, like that is your that
is your genetic child, and you were robbed of that

(40:39):
life with that child. There's no amount of compensation I
could that could take make up for this mistake. Absolutely not.
I'm kind of hoping they take this really you know,
nice Brady Bunch esque approach and they could just kind
of like Mesh families together and be like, this sucks
that this happened, but at least we figured it out
when we were alive and could spend our remaining years

(41:01):
being a family and getting to know each other. How
old is so? Are the parents are the the woman
you said she met that her real mother? So? How
old is that lady? She's she's older, right, she's in
her She has to be at least in her. I mean,
if it was our situation, she would be seventy, but
she has to be probably in her seventies or eighties. Yeah,

(41:23):
that's out. Think about being eighty years old and then
finding out that your kid that you thought was your
kid your entire life is not really your child. Like
you have a baby in nineteen sixty nine and you
don't find out till twenty twenty four that that's that
you've been raising somebody that's not actually your daughter. It's
so outrageous. It's just so outrageous. I can't even wrap

(41:44):
my brain around it. And what's really sad is that
the clare person said that she was said, in her mind,
finally I look like somebody, Like, how sad is that
going your whole life being like I don't look like
anybody related to And I don't know it just the
whole thing is so unacceptable. How does this happen? I
know this is not a unique story. I mean there

(42:05):
was literally an entire ABC Family show called switchedet Birth,
So even in fictional world, it's existed as a concept.
So how many times has this happened in history?

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (42:15):
My god, DSE DNA tests we say this, I feel
like every episode like it's just making a lot of
shit come out of the woodwork, right, Oh yeah, Like,
and I don't know, I I just am so fascinated
by this and all the unique things that twenty three
and meters and ancestry and all these in jed match
and all these ants, All these DNA kits are revealing

(42:35):
about people from you know, long lost family members to
finding out your switched at birth to connecting your uncle
to some horrible crime they committed in nineteen seventy five.
So it's very fascinating what's going on with these BNA
it is, It's cool, all right, let's talk about this
next story. So this twenty six year old guy was

(42:56):
visiting his family at the hospital and suddenly he started
feeling really lightheaded flush, which I could understand in a
hospital environment. I do not like being at any medical
scenes at all. But he lowered himself onto the ground
and he ended up passing out. So later he revealed
that he had this similar episode while attempting to take
a bowel movement the week before, and he told his

(43:16):
doctors he suffered from severe constipation for most of his life.
So then they decided to give him a CT scan
and what did they see. Oh, they saw that his
entire abdomen and his colon essentially was so dilated and
filled with poop that it was it was huge. When
you look at the imaging, you could just see, uh,

(43:36):
it has a very specific look on imaging. It's just
black with little white speckles throughout it, and it's his
whole abdomen was filled with poop so bad that it
was so heavy. It was pushing on his inferior vena keeva,
which is the largest vein in your body that brings
deoxygenated blood up to your heart, which was causing his

(43:58):
heart to not put out enough sagenated blood and it
lacked oxygen that was going to his brain, and that's
what caused him to have an episode of syncopea, which
is called fainting. That's what people call fainting. It's it's
really crazy. There's there's people faint for all different kinds
of reasons. You could be dehydrated, or medications, or even

(44:19):
from a heart attack. But I'm not sure there's any
reported cases of someone fainting because the poop inside their
abdom was so heavy it was compressing on their inferior
being a kiva, I mean, how does this happen? It's
just a build up over time or well, what happens
is if you suffer from constipation for a really long time,

(44:42):
it causes the stool that is accumulating and your rectum
gets stretched out, and if you don't alleviate that in
training your colon to kind of stretch back down to
normal size, it's just this vicious cycle that your rectum
is so stretched out that it could accommodate way more
poop than it normally should be able to and you
could get blocked up and it could cause your anal

(45:05):
sphincter to leak. It doesn't stay strong enough because your
anal sphincter isn't made to be holding such a large,
dilated tube filled with all that heavy poop, so it
doesn't stay in as well, and you really if you
have an issue with that, you really have to go
to a GI specialist and find out how you can

(45:27):
get regulated. And a lot of it is potty training issues,
and this could happen with adults too, that when you
have the urge to go, you ignore that urge, and
then it's to the point where you don't even realize
that you're getting their urge anymore because you're so used
to ignoring it. Sometimes they encourage you to do a

(45:47):
combination of like a mirror wax which softens the stool,
and then axlax, which makes the colon go through peristalsis
and push it out. There's there's all sorts of remedies
for it, but in this case, you can't do anything
like that because it formed what's called a FeCO lith
which is basically a huge tumor of poop, and the

(46:11):
only way that they were able to get that out
is they had to put him under anesthesia and like
manually remove it from his body. In some cases they
actually have to cut open the bow and take it
out because there's no way it's coming out. Oh my god,
I can't even imagine. Yeah, it's and the guy's twenty
six years old. It's And the scariest part of the

(46:32):
story is is that he went you know, he was,
like you said, he was visiting in the hospital and
he ended up going to the emergency room because he fainted.
He didn't even go because he was in such extreme
pain with it, with pressure and bloating and everything else
that comes to constipation. It seems like he was dealing
with it his whole life that he didn't even really
like feel it anymore, which is terrible. Yeah, it's really horrible. Okay.

(46:56):
In China, this one hundred and seven year old woman
has become a social media star for showing off this
four inch horn growing from her forehead. I love this
is This is called a cutaneous horn. We actually got
one in surgical pathology at one of the hospitals I
worked at. And it's kind of insane to think that
these things are growing off of people's faces. How does

(47:18):
one grow a horn? So it usually does grow on
people's face, especially their forehead, because it's it most commonly
happens in areas with the most sun exposure. So if
you're working outside, especially all the time, and you're not
wearing a hat, You're going to have a lot of
sun exposure on the top of your head and that

(47:39):
causes these cutaneous horns to grow. And the horn itself
is composed of like this really compacted keratin, which is
the protein that's present in hair and fingernails and skin.
And that's why it's called a horn because it's kind
of the same exact thing as an animal horn that
you would see on like a rhinoceros or something like that. Right, wow.

(48:01):
But they they're usually not cancerous, but a lot of times,
like when we've received them in the lab, I've gotten
small ones multiple times, very small, like the size of
your pinky finger now. But I've also the one that
I'm speaking of that that we got in the lab
this one time was big. It was the size of

(48:22):
your hand. It was a huge horn that was on
somebody's body for a period of years, and we have
to examine the base of it because sometimes there could
be a transformation of a kind of cancer called squamous
cell carcinoma, which is a skin cancer. I mean, it's
kind of it's kind of crazy because for me, I

(48:43):
feel like this second it started presenting I would get
it taken care of. And in these cases we see
in the gross room, and do we have one in
the book. I don't think we did. No, I don't
think that we had one in the book. But we've
had a couple cases in the gross room for sure.
But they're always huge, Like why aren't you they called
the immediate. This lady is thinks it's it's like, uh

(49:05):
makes her lucky, right, like some some cultures have these
weird things that oh yeah, that's yeah. The Internet thinks
it's the secret to her long life. They've been calling
it a longevity horn. She's one hundred and seven years old.
They might there might be something to it, you know, Yeah,
I mean maybe the key. She's a real life unicorn,
the real Yeah, the kDa life is growing horn. So okay,

(49:28):
let's get into the last story, which falls under other
death news In Poland. This man was driving on this
major road and suddenly this white sheet covered his windshield.
So as soon as it blew away, he saw that
a man was laying in the middle of the street.
So he starts freaking out, thinking that he hit him
with the car. Oh no, the man fell out of

(49:50):
the back of the hearst because he was dead and
being transported to a funeral home. Oh my god, this
is totally It's totally possible because when they so, I
used to release bodies all the time from the hospital
and they usually they sometimes came to the hospital with
a hearse, but usually it's a mini van that just
is from the funeral home that's a specialized fan. It

(50:11):
doesn't have the seats in the back. And they would
put the body on a little gurny thing that you know,
one of those wheely things that would hold the tray
that the person was on, and then they would be
in their body bag and everything, and they would put
them into the back of the hearse and take them
back to the funeral home. So that would probably be
the only circumstance that there would be a body inside

(50:33):
of a hearse that wasn't inside of a casket is
transporting from wherever they died to the funeral home. So
that's what happened here, and usually they're in This was
in another country though, right It was in Poland, so
I don't know what they do there. But in the
United States, there could be a body that's wrapped up
with with sheets, but then that body would then go

(50:55):
inside of a body bag. There's rare circumstances that we
wouldn't do that, like if the person is so huge
that they don't fit inside of a body bag, which
has happened sometimes. But they do make bariatric body bags too,
Wh's just some places don't have them, where you run
out of them, you don't have it. Then that would
be the only time, at least in America, that you
would put a body into without a body bag. Although

(51:17):
I guess I'm trying to think. When my Grandpap died,
the funeral home came and picked him up and brought
him to the brought him to the funeral home from
my grandmom and Grandpap's house, And I'm not sure that
they put him in a body bag in that situation,
but they definitely do from a hospital or medical examiner's office.
But did it not secure the body because they're blaming

(51:39):
it on this unexpected technical failure of the tailgate lock,
which shouldn't it still be secured, So it's like any lock.
It's like any lock on a door, Like maybe they
shut the back of the trunk and it didn't latch
all the way. Yeah, But I'm saying, even if it
opened unexpectedly, shouldn't the body somehow be secured. It just
seems like it. Now, Oh no, I don't think it's

(52:02):
very secure. I think that they just kind of put
it back there and that's it. You're saying, like, do
they put it on some kind of a system that
it locks into places? So like, no, they don't do that.
In theory, you're making turns and it's just rolling around, Like,
I don't know, it seems like this is a flaw
in the system. Well, bodies. Bodies are heavy, right, they're
they're especially adults are They're usually one hundred and two

(52:24):
hundred and three hundred pounds, right, So they're not really
going to move a whole ton if you put them
in the back of a mini van. But if the
latch isn't good and the person suddenly accelerates and stops,
then that could cause the body to push against the
back door and fall out. That's what I'm assuming happened.
Imagine driving down the street and coming across this scene

(52:47):
and then that poor guy that thought he hit somebody first.
Are pictures or anything of this? Oh yeah, Oh okay,
because I want to say what it is. The person's
not in a body bag. It's just a dead body
on the street. It's like a person face down on
the street. They're not strapped into any kind of harness
of the thing or any kind of thing like that.

(53:09):
The picture I saw earlier was slightly like pixelated out,
but it did not appear so it just from the
pixelation it seemed like it was just a straight up person.
Late because the usually the gurneys that the people are
on are when the funeral directors come. They have this
this special gurney that they put the body onto and

(53:31):
then it could the legs of it can collapse and
they could push them all in at the same time. Now,
I don't know if they have special systems that hold
the people in place, like I personally have just never
seen that. It's just kind of like, oh, put the
body in the back and close the door. No, So
that's what I was kind of asking. So, like what
I was envisioning was they're just putting like a person,

(53:52):
no gurney or anything, just in like the trunk of
a car. This. Yeah, I mean they have they have
to have the gurney because that's how they have to
bring them from place to place. You know. No, So
that's what I was asking because I don't think there
was a yourney in sight. I don't know what happened here. Yeah,
i'd have to look at I'd have to look at
the picture and see if I could figure out what's

(54:12):
going on with it, because it's very it's it's I mean, like, listen,
this is the funeral home. At least didn't say, which
I feel like in America they'd be like, you didn't
see that, that didn't happen. What are you talking about?
Like at least in Poland they're like, you know what,
like this was a big mistake and we feel terrible
about this. But it's just I feel like I will

(54:33):
if that happened to my family member or something like.
You just can't get upset about that was an accident.
It was I don't know literally everybody. I mean, I
don't want to see like my dead parent laying on
B ninety five. But you know, at the same time,
you just have to realize that shit happens sometimes. You know,
sometimes you're driving around and this happens to me every

(54:54):
so often that you're driving and then you're halfway down
the street and the door starts thinging that it's not
class all the way or something right like that just
happens kids that don't respect closing your car door and
me that one time, but other than that, I don't know.
In America, they'd be like, oh, it's ai, you didn't
see any Yeah, it's like okay, okay, let's move on

(55:15):
to questions of the day. Every Friday at the at
mother Nose Depth Instagram account, you guys get head over
to our story and ask whatever you want. So first
we have what are adhesions? Is it something that average
person should have concerns about? Adhesions can happen in two
different ways. An adhesion is essentially just a scar inside

(55:37):
of your body. Most commonly you get them from surgery.
So if you've never had surgery, the chance of you
ever having to deal with them is very low. Any
kind of surgery that goes inside of your body cavity,
so a cesarean section is a very common one that
women get that could cause adhesions. So when you cut

(55:59):
through the layers of the abdomen and the abdominal muscles
in the skin, and then you get inside of the
pelvic cavity where you have the uterus, and then you
have to cut into that again. When you close the
person up, there's a chance that you could form scar
tissue that could make the uterus kind of stick to
the abdominal wall a little bit. It happens in some people.

(56:21):
Some people just get a very small amount of them
for surgery, and other people have such severe problems with
it that they have to require more surgery to try
to get rid of them because it's causing them to
have such serious problems. You also could get adhesions from
certain kind of infections. Whenever the tissues irritated, it could
form scar tissue too. You commonly could see that in

(56:46):
the lungs or something like that, but that that's not
really as common. You'd have to have something pretty severe
to see that. So I to answer your question, I
feel like the average person doesn't really have to worry
about it unless you've had some kind of surgery your cavity. Okay,
what are your thoughts on the taxidermy of pets? Speaking

(57:07):
of Fresh Prince of bel Air, we were watching an
episode of last night. One of the people had their
dog taxidermaid in their office. Which is funny that you
bring this up. I'm into it. Like I when my
cat dies, I will definitely be sending her to someone
to get taxidermaid, do you I mean, I'm not a
pet person. I'm not the one to ask about. Do
you think Homeboy could get his squirrel and raccoon back

(57:30):
and get them taxidermaid? I I don't know. I mean
that would be the right thing to do, in my opinion.
I think I think their toasts they're long gone. All right?
Uh yeah, so you're for it then, because you said
you would get kitty? What I mean, what would be

(57:50):
what would be against it? I guess because people just
think it's weird? But is it? I don't like I
don't have a pet, and I which is why I
don't have opinion. You don't want to look at my
cat like every day? Well listen, I'm gonna get it
specifically molded to sit on your desk so every day
when you come to work you could just you could
look at it as as usual when Yess is sitting

(58:12):
in my chair and won't get up. Yes, yeah, I
mean I if you want to do that, whatever, it's
your it's your choice. I mean, I think a lot
of people think taxidermy is really bizarre, but it's taxidermied
animals have been around forever. My one of our friends
in my neighborhood, she just lost her dog and they
gave her a footprint of the dog before before they

(58:35):
left the Vets office, and I thought that that was
really nice. People, you know, get their animals cremated or
do things like that. I I don't know, I just specifically,
I just think the taxi army is kind of cool
and I'm into it. And I've seen a bunch of
didn't we do a story or something on it? Or
we talked about it? Once I saw somebody that had

(58:56):
it done on Uh. I found the business that did it,
and they look really really good. And I don't know
just the whole thing of it. I guess you would
just have to put I guess the weirdest part would
be as soon as the thing dies, you got to
put it in refrigeration and address it right away, because
obviously it could decompose just like anything else. Where are

(59:19):
we driving through Baltimore last year? Oh? Yes, Well, we
did our cover shoot for the show last year. We
were driving home from Baltimore and we drove by a
place that was literally like one side of the building
was a vet and the other side was a Taxidermy. Yeah,
we did. Didn't we take a picture of the sign

(59:40):
because we were like, this is so outrageous. Maybe it's
a pet funeral plate. It was something like, well, I
feel like it was a vet. I'm going to find it.
Keep talking about tax it every thing. You took a
picture of it, right, Yes, I was like, this is
so outrageous, right, So yeah, I mean I have taxider
we'd animals in my house. I have this really rare

(01:00:01):
kind of deer. I have uh, giraffe's leg. We have
a rabbit, ducks, I have a I had I've had
a lot more things throughout. We had a bore that
Paul gave me. Actually that now is at Louise. I
don't know if it's in the Mountain House or it's

(01:00:23):
just at Louie's house. But yeah, we've had deer, a
couple of deer stuff like that. So wait, all right,
confirmed animal hospital. And on the other side of it
was a taxi nervist. Yes, it's so that's so weird, right, Yeah.
It's kind of a one stop shop though, so I'm
kind of into it. I don't know it's kind of

(01:00:45):
messed up. I just remember thinking like Kosher, I don't know,
is anything anymore? All right? Last, do you guys ever
get annoyed at each other? Or we just bestiase all
the time? I mean, listen, I'm probably annoyed at you.
But we see each other more than anyone else, more

(01:01:05):
than our husband's I think you see me more than
the girls, Like you are just naturally gonna get annoyed
by somebody you spend so much time with. I mean,
we love each other to death, but we certainly know
how to push each other's button. Yeah for sure, I mean,
but we have It's never like I'm never like mad
at her for or annoyed with her for days in

(01:01:27):
a row. It's just kind of like more an hour
to our situation. Yeah, like we've we've never been in
a situation where we get in like a blow out
and we'll talk for a couple of days Like that's
not us, Like we just this is probably why our
dynamic works so well, because we just scream at each
other in the moment something's annoying us, and then you
just get over it and keep going about your day.

(01:01:48):
I mean, I feel like on this podcast. You've definitely
heard it in real time that I'll just that we're
that will. That's how our argument is, and it's just
like that's the extent of it. Though there's not really
any drama. There's lots of eye rolls, there's lots of
like shut up, and then it just kind of I
feel like that's just exactly except except Maria has Game
to gang up on me and I don't. I mean,

(01:02:10):
I don't really talk to Ricky like that and say like, oh,
do you believe she's acting this way today? So it's
just like always me against Maria and Game. You definitely
text each other pictures of variousing pictures with me and everything,
so who Ricky, Yeah, act like you're totally in it. No,
I do. I do all the time. But I'm saying, like,
I don't have a daily like person to gang up

(01:02:31):
on you with like like you do. But you're just
an easy target. What can I say? We love each other.
It's it's my favorite quote you ever said about the girls.
You said they're they're best friends and their worst enemies.
I think that just we don't fight as bad as
the kids do. Though, No, but I don't. I don't

(01:02:51):
physically hurt you. I mean the the other night alone,
I finally got them to watch Gilmore Girls. I've been
waiting for years for this moment. We're having like the
nicest sisterly night. We're all embroidering, we're watching Gilmore Girls.
I got them Panzerati's. We're just having a nice time.
And then you know, Lilian knew how to do this

(01:03:12):
specific like needling that Lucia didn't know how to do,
or specific not that Lulu didn't know how to do.
And then Lulu gets really pissy and then she's like,
I don't want to watch this show anymore. I don't
like you. And I'm like, whatever, it's been time, It's
just time to get it. It's so funny whenever Lucia
acts like that, you're one hundred percent like she needs

(01:03:32):
to go to bed. She just turns so fast and
you just know it. But speaking of so, Mario was
watching the kids for Gabe and I because we weren't
on a date. And we went to this cool antique
store and we went to a restaurant in Atlantic City
that we really like, and then we went to this
cool antique store that's kind of right next door that
sells old books, and I came across this book from

(01:03:56):
that was published in the seventies called Sharks and Shipwrecks,
and on the cover of the book was a picture
of a guy that had this massive scar across his
whole entire tourso because apparently he was bitten and survived
a great white shark attack. And before I even opened
the book, I was like, I'm buying this because there
has to be something really good in it. And then

(01:04:18):
so I was like, oh, cool, I could do a
post for the Gross Room with this. And then after
reading the book, I just ended up making this really cool,
high profile dissection in the Gross Room on it about
these specific people that recovered in the book that survived
these shark attacks, and it just was the pictures are
so so cool. And then there was this connection with Jaws.

(01:04:40):
And then the guy what was his name, Rodney Fox. Yeah,
the guy that's on the cover had to be in
a teenager or in his twenties when he was injured
by this shark, and now he's eighty years old, so
he's still alive. And he dedicated his whole life to
shark research and everything and even created this really cool
cage that could lower people into the ocean and they

(01:05:03):
could have encounters with great white sharks, which just looks
absolutely terrifying. No, it really doesn't. I mean I kind
of wanted, like I kind of want to do it,
but at like I do, like just think how cool
it would be to be like front enclose with a
great white shark and not and know that you're not
going to get hurt. Well, everybody that wanted to see
the Titanic up close also thought it would be really cool.

(01:05:25):
And look how that well he hasn't had any problems
on his expedition. So I just thought that the whole
way it went down was like finding that book by
accident and then coming across the whole story and everything
because I'm just a huge jawspan and everything like that.
So I thought that was really cool. Yeah, it was cool. Well,
thank you guys so much. If you have a shocking story,
