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
are going to be talking about a baseball fan who
fell from the stands twenty one feet during an active
(00:29):
MLB game, blunt trauma, involving a porta potty, an unusual
reason for a tongue tattoo, and catching diseases from the
thrift store. All that and more on today's episode. So
let's get started with this Pittsburgh Pirates fan. Yeah. So
last night the Cubs were playing in Pittsburgh against the
(00:49):
Pirates and during the bottom of the seventh inning, suddenly
this fan fell over from the crowd onto the field
during an active play. It's such a nuts vic to
watch because we watched so many baseball games just to
think about a person falling over like that. That didn't
someone fall when we were at a Phillies game a
couple of years ago. Yeah, so, I actually and this
(01:12):
prompted me to write this whole article about things that
happened like this at games because we were at the
Phillys game I believe it was last season, and it
seems like above what's the call where the pictures are
the bullpen. I'm like, yeah, I'm like blanking at so
above the bullpen. I think the opposing team, I don't
remember who they were playing that day, threw a ball
(01:33):
up towards a fan and it landed in this like
flower box they had hanging above the bullpen, and when
the fan went to reach down and get the ball,
he ended up flipping over the edge and falling and
getting hurt. But I think that guy ended up being okay.
So this prompted me to write an article for the
groceryom called take Me Out to the Er, where I
was writing about people that get like a hit by
foul balls or fall over the edge. So one of
(01:56):
the cases was in twenty eleven at a Texas Rangers game,
similar situation. A player had tossed a fan of ball
in the stands and he ended up falling twenty feet
head first and he died in the ambulance. Later. And
then later in twenty fifteen in an Atlanta Braves game,
this guy was heckling a rod so much and he
was getting so animated and he ended up falling off
(02:17):
of the upper deck onto the lower deck about fifty
feet head first and ended up dying. Oh my god,
that's nuts. Yeah, it's really horrible. I'm actually surprised it
doesn't happen more often, because do you ever notice when
foul balls, the really high pitched ones, which they call
piss missiles, are like coming down and it seems like
it's coming in our section in the upper deck, but
(02:39):
it really is going below and people lean over so far. Yeah,
I guess they're not paying attention. And so many people
are drunk. We know that, so I mean that always
adds a little something to it. This particular case is
a little weird, though, because when I saw the video,
obviously the first thing I do is put it in
slow motion to see what exactly is happened, and I
(03:01):
don't even know. I mean, the guy, I guess the
guy fell, but the whole thing is weird because it
looks like he's sitting in his seat and it almost
looks like the same thing at the Philly Stadium that
there's these clear barriers in the front so people don't
fall over the edge, but they're basically just like a
piece of plexiglass, right, And it looks like he got
(03:24):
up out of his seat and then stood up and
almost maybe stood up on his actual seat or got
up on the edge of the barrier there and then
fell over the edge. But then it did look like
he reached his arm up, so I wouldn't say it
almost had the appearance that he was intentionally trying to
go over the edge, but then it looked like he
(03:44):
was trying to grab that he fell by accident or something.
But he ended up falling twenty one feet, which is significant.
I mean, if you fall anywhere over seventy feet, even
usually even a little bit lower than that, you're going
to die. There's like a high chance that you're not
surviving anything over I mean, twenty feet is a lot.
(04:05):
And this guy got a skull fracture. So they were
saying that he's in critical condition, and that could be
a variety of things that could be like, Okay, this
guy's definitely not surviving, or we're just not sure exactly
how the extent of his injuries. Yet I mean, to me,
I agree with you. It looked like he launched himself
(04:26):
out of exactly sight. It's very weird because also was
he It also looked like from the video and I
found videos from multiple different angles of this but of
course they're like pretty far away, but it appeared that
he's not wearing a shirt in shoes, and in the
close up photographs they took of the emergency responders working
on him, he's not wearing a shirt and shoes. But
(04:48):
I don't know if he like fell on the field
that way, or if they ended up coming off at
some point during the ordeal. But I have no idea.
I think that that's bizarre too. Yeah, I like, even
when you look at the video slowed down, clearly this
big play is happening and a lot of people are
rising at the same time, but he has at least
a full second where he lifts up before everybody else,
(05:11):
and he just seemingly lifts up from his seat and
immediately launches over the edge. It was just so bizarre,
like he jumped or something. Yeah, I don't know, it's
very weird. But so when you're in critical condition, it's
it's when they determine that your there's major functions of
your body that are not working correctly that you need
medical assistance. So maybe you're not breathing on your own
(05:33):
and you need a ventilator or something like that, and
it doesn't necessarily mean that a person's going to die,
because you can totally survive that, But it just means
that they're really unsure because of how unstable their normal
function is at that point. So when you get a
skull fracture, it's not it's not the same as if
(05:54):
you break your leg. And and really you could break
your leg very seriously too, But you're not just con
learned about the broken bone of the skull, but what's
inside the skull, which is the brain, which is your
most important or one of your most important organs. Right
if it doesn't function correctly, you can't live. And so
when you get a skull fracture like that, not only
(06:15):
could you get a traumatic brain injury like a concussion
or a contusion, but you also can get a brain bleed,
which could also cause a huge problem for someone and
all and they might have to get additional surgeries when
they get to the hospital. So he could have lasting
brain damage from this, permanent brain damage from this. It's
(06:35):
it's serious. And again I'm I'm pretty certain that you'll
when you hear the investigation that there's going to be
alcohol involved somehow. I'm just guarantee that. Wait, So when
you wrote that article. Wasn't there one about someone getting
injured by the hot dog gun? Yeah? I think it
was at the Phillies game. The Philly fanatic was like
driving around cheating the hot dogs off and they hit
(06:57):
this like poor old lady in the face and she
had like a black eye. Right, yeah, so she was
on the New Show. She might add a skull fracture
or something too, right like it was, no think. I
think she just got like a black eye from it.
But there was another guy at the Phillies before they
had the nets on the bottom level who got hit
by a foul ball and like literally the scan of
(07:18):
his head he had this like giant round fracture in
the front of his face. Yeah, that's nuts. And about
a week after we published this article, we were sitting
in our old section. This had to be all right,
So this was two years ago because it was when
we were on the other side in three sixteen. So
when we were sitting there, you guys had just got
up to leave and Sosa hit a foul ball and
(07:41):
it was like coming up and I was like, it's
not coming up this far, and then it just kept
getting closer and I was like, well, it's coming up
this far, but it's not gonna hit me. And then
it just kept getting closer to my face and literally
frigging did not stick his hand out at that exact moment.
It would have hit me straight in the head. But
I was like, there has been ironic There's no way
out of four eight thousand seats that I'm gonna get
(08:01):
hit in the face with this ball. And a week
after I just read an article about this happening to
other people, I could see that being on the news,
Like that's that's definitely like a like a New York
Post worthy story. Yeah, woman writes article about baseball accidents
gets into by baseball one week later. Does every baseball
team have the hot dog gun or is that a
(08:22):
specific Philly thing? I would say most of them probably do,
because like a lot of games have like t shirt
guns and stuff. I don't know, it's just phillyes just
has like a very interesting unique things. All right, let's
get let's get into this this headline that's been going
around that a teenager was struck and killed by a
(08:44):
fire truck, because there's a little bit more to the
story than than just that headline. Yeah, so this girl
was coming home from her friend's prom send off party.
I don't know what that is, but she was dancing
on top of this suv as it was driving, and
then it suddenly made to turn and she slid off
of the roof. Seconds later, this fire truck that was
responding to an emergency ended up hitting her. Yeah, like
(09:08):
so so really like the fire truck doesn't have anything
to do with it, That's what I mean. But it's
it's a juicier headline to be like a fire truck struck,
I know. And it's terrible for whoever was driving the
fire truck, because when you're responding to an emergency, you
sure don't expect to see a woman laying on the
ground in the middle of the road. I mean's and like, listen,
(09:30):
this is this is not like oh this this teenager
did a stupid thing that like lots of people do this.
I don't understand it at all. You would think, like, oh,
remember in the movie Big when they opened the moon
roof and they were out and like driving through the city.
Give but most of your body this is in the car. Yeah,
(09:50):
this is like like it just doesn't even make any sense.
This is the car driving sitting on top of the
car and standing on top of a car driving, like,
how do you think that that's ever going to work out? Right?
I mean, And and the parents had said that she
was in the car with a bunch of her teenage friends.
I swear, I just this is why teenagers need to
(10:13):
have way more restrictions, because the minds of all of them,
like not one person in the car thinking that that
was a bad idea. Yeah, there is why this girl's dead.
I don't think most of them were teenagers, like fifteen sixteen.
I think she was nineteen years old, Like that's an adult, yeah,
but they're still underdeveloped brain And I think she was eighteen.
(10:34):
This is like a bunch of kids not thinking. Their
brains are definitely not all the way developed. It's like
you look at them and their bodies are developed, but
their brains are definitely not developed as an adult. It's
just they're not. And that's what I think. That's why.
I mean, even since I started driving, they've put a
ton of restrictions on younger people driving. I think there's
(10:56):
a rule that you're only allowed to have X amount
of people in the car and all this stuff because
they're like and then add on top of it the
texting situation. It's just, I just I just don't know
why why anybody thought that this was going to be
a good idea. So, so she this truck is, it's
an escalade. They're turning left. The girl falls off, so
(11:17):
right there, she could have got killed just from falling
off of a moving vehicle onto the street, got horrible
abrasions on her skin, skull fracture or all that business.
But she so, I don't even know. So they'll do
the autopsy and try to determine what happened. I don't
know if that's even going to be possible, because a
fire truck weighs so much hitting a person going fast.
(11:38):
I mean, god knows how fast they were driving, right,
she got creamed. So I don't know if they're going
to be able to say, like, Okay, she was already
had an injury that was inconsistent with life before she
even got hit by the fire truck. I don't even
know how they would be able to determine that. But
they might not be able to. Yeah, I mean, it
seems like it happened within like seconds of her falling off. Yeah,
(11:58):
the roof of the car. It's just it's just like
it's just completely nuts and and and like think about
that some some firefighter has to now live with that
for you know, it's and it's going to be years
of court and this and that and going through everything,
and it's just it's just messed up. Man. Yeah, all right,
(12:20):
So this video has been circulating online this week of
a person running through a pretty bad windstorm it looks
like and then suddenly in the video you see this
porta potty like flying along this soccer field and it
struck the referee. I mean, it's kind of like, I
hate to say this, but the video is kind of
funny looking, but funny was okay, But yeah, that's yeah.
(12:42):
I mean just like when you watch it, it's just
funny because a porta potty and then think about this
thing flying through the air and how gross that is
just thinking about porta potties are seriously just they just
have the worst smell ever, and think about one flying
through the air with all that rain and wind and
hitting your body. But they they were saying that they
(13:03):
weighed two hundred and thirty to two hundred and fifty pounds,
so that's some serious blunt trauma right there. The guy
was okay, luckily, you know what I mean. It's I mean,
it's kind of a crazy story. But the videos just
you know how it's just one of those videos that
it reminds me if you're walking down the street and
you see someone fall in your instant reaction is to laugh.
(13:28):
Like for me anyway, I remember one time when I
was working at the hospital and I was with one
of my friends who's also just got kind of like
a sick sense of humor, and like one of you
know when you have a friend that you just like
laugh with and stuff all the time. And we saw
this lady like fall on the ice in front of us,
and like we're both in our uniforms, and I just
(13:49):
like I was trying not to laugh, but I was crying,
like holding in my tears. It's like she obviously she
wasn't her. It just like looks so funny. That's your
instant reaction. Know it happened, it's terrible, people do I
saw someone get hit by a car once on a bike,
and I just I just thought, I don't know, like
(14:09):
it no, it was it was funny. Like it's just
a nervous response. You no, it's not a nervous response.
Sometimes it's just funny like this late did you ever
see like Wayne's World and the girls like ride in
a bike and she's like hi Wayne, the girl that
was obsessed with Wayne, and she like drove right into
the bike or into a car ride in her bike.
(14:30):
It was like it just looked like that me like
I don't know, it just was like funny. But Lilian
fell down the steps at school a few weeks ago,
like pretty big because she's wearing those stupid fucking uggs
all the time that like twist kids ankles and they
think they look so cool, but they always are like
falling and stuff in them. And she fell down the
steps and her best friend like busted out laughing at her,
(14:51):
like and I was just like I love you, like
this is this is hilarious because I because it's funny,
like like Okay, she's not hurt whatever, but like I
don't know, Well, I hope you I hope if you
ever follow listen, this is this is why I'm not
a nurse and I don't take care of live people
because maybe I just I don't have compassion like that.
(15:13):
I mean, I'm thinking of a situation or which is
the best onever where you got the wrong car And
I'm thinking, if it's the person that owned the wrong
car ended up coming out and freaking out and calling
the cops or something because you were sitting in their car,
I might have peeded my pants laughing because that would
have been the funniest thing ever. So maybe I have
a little bit of your trait. But this person did
(15:34):
end up being fined. At least it wasn't the end
with the door open, so they didn't get like all
like the poop and stuff all over them. That would
have been Yeah, But the wind was so crazy and
you know when it rained sideways and stuff, it was
like one of those looking events. I just imagine the
whole entire shit and everything like miss mixing with the
rain and just like spraying everyone around. It's not It's
(15:55):
nothing you ever think about when you're at a field
that these things can become projectiles. This episode is brought
to you by the Gross Room. Guys. The Gross Room
style is over, but you could still get in and
try it out for only five ninety nine a month,
(16:16):
so you really should get in. We've done a couple,
so every week we do a high profile or celebrity
death dissection. A few weeks ago, we did necrophilia, which
was you know, if you read it, you might not
ever get that part of your life back. But we
also did one recently on Virginia Doe Free because whenever
there's anything that's that's breaking news on a celebrity or
(16:38):
high profile person, we're always covering those every week in
the Grosser Room. We also are going to be doing
coming up shortly, physician assistant suicide and getting into all
the details of that because that's pretty interesting, how the
laws and everything that go with it, and just some
of the things you wouldn't think of. With that, we
have a bunch of new crazy video and more. So
(17:00):
give it, give it a check out, check it out. Yeah,
over tothegross room dot com. Now, all right, so let's
get into this this next case that's kind of crazy
of a man predicting his own murder. Yeah, So police
got a call about two murdered men located in a
(17:21):
pickup truck in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and it turns
out that one of the victims had predicted this entire
situation the day before on his Facebook. So he wrote
a post on his Facebook that said, tell me, I
don't think that this makes sense, but it's it's this
is what I'm not reading in verbatim because it's not great.
I want to read it. It says, if today isn't workout,
(17:44):
know that it was James Collier, the piece of crap
that I invited to this mountain that still hasn't left
it and is working the fuck out of my fucking cousin.
I'm rolling down there right now, Jimmy, I hope you
shoot me. Okay, so I guess he did. I guess
he got his wish come true. Well, yeah, so I
guess he invited this guy to confront him about this
(18:06):
problem he was having there thinking the issue that was
going on between them was that the guy, James Collier,
wasn't moving out of this property that the victim was
planning on listing for sale, and he was basically letting
his Facebook know I'm inviting this guy to confront him,
so if it doesn't work out, it was him that
killed me. And that's exactly what happened. He was smart, right,
(18:31):
There's lots of cases like this where people, I mean,
we were just talking about it on last episode or
two episodes ago about Virginia drew Free and like how
she had put a letter on her Facebook that said,
I'm not suicidal, just letting you know, like people do
that sometimes, not that I mean, I guess they could
be brought up in court for sure. All right. Wait,
(18:51):
though I wouldn't have conspiracy brain for a second, because
something similar happened in the Kings of Tupelo documentary that
you still need to watch. So what if another person
had murdered this victim and then his enemy was James Collier,
so he already was planning on murdering the victim, or
(19:13):
he was planning on it, or he had already murdered
the victim and then went onto that guy's Facebook and
said it was going to be James Collier that did it.
That's how I said. But get on someone's Facebook like that,
because if you killed them and you have their phone,
all you have to do is go into it with
their face recognition. The face doesn't though they're dead. I
don't think so. Yes, my face recognition doesn't even work
(19:37):
when I'm laying in bed in a certain angle. I
don't think if you're like, if you're dead, that it's
working when your eyes are like, I don't know about that.
So that's kind of a stretch to get cast into
the King's of Tufolow where the president and all these
other politicians got anthraped or not anthrax. They got some
powder sent to them. Maybe it was anthrax. Anyway, they
(19:59):
are right, it was right. So they got all this
rice and said to them and they thought it was
this guy that was an Elvis impersonator. When they were
investigating it, they realized he was basically like too stupid
to have made the rice and they're like, it clearly
couldn't have been him, And it turns out it was
his enemy that set him up. Uh well, I mean
that could totally happen. Yeah, I mean, it totally could happen.
(20:20):
But obviously they're gonna do more of an investigation. This
isn't just like a clear cut like this guy did it,
you know what I mean. But it's definitely leading them
to the person that probably did it. Yeah, but they
had arrested that guy and it took them a while
to figure out it was his enemy that set him up,
who was a way new and impersonator. You have to
watch this show. It's so crazy. A real story. Yes,
(20:44):
oh okay, because like if it was fake, I'm like,
I'm not interested. And it's als like body part trafficking too.
You have to watch it. It's okay, what is it called
Kings of Tupoulo. Okay, it's it sounds it sounds outrageous.
I'll watch it. I don't know. I think it's like
the Sectu word of the honesty or like covering its
some capacity. It's so ridiculous. But let's move on to
(21:07):
the sextuary. So last year, a twenty three year old
nottus this lesion under her tongue. She initially blew it
off as an ulcer. Over time, it kept getting worse,
but she still wasn't worried about it. So she went
to the doctor hoping to just get some medication for it,
and it ended up being something so much worse. Yeah.
So the doctor looked at it and said, like, all right,
this is this is weird that you've had this for
a while, and I don't like the way it looks.
(21:27):
So they did a biopsy and they diagnosed it as
squamous cell carcinoma, which is cancer of the tongue. Now,
this is very unusual for a twenty three year old
to get tongue cancer. It most commonly happens in people
who well, really if we could learn anything from val Kilmar,
because he had base of tongue cancer, which is an
(21:48):
oropharynx cancer cancer of the mouth, and it most commonly
occurs in people that have the HPV virus. So about
seventy to eighty percent of these cancers are caused by
HPV virus. So her doctor made a comment that was
just like, even if you drank and smoked every day,
there's no way that the cancer could have formed this fast.
So we don't know what caused it. But I'm thinking, like,
(22:11):
that's that's actually not the most common reason that people
get oral cancer anymore. It's because of the HPV ryers.
And certainly if you get HPV in your cervix, especially
if you're you're sexually active at a young age. There
are women that can develop full blown cancer at twenty
three years old. It's not common, but it's definitely happened,
(22:31):
So I'm thinking it's more likely that that's her risk factor.
But also if you drink alcohol and you smoke, then
that increases your risk. And if you drink alcohol and
smoke together, you're at like a thirty percent increase riskly
getting oral cancer. So it's just really the worst thing
to do. So but anyway, so she gets diagnosed with
(22:52):
this cancer and they say, okay, well we have to
cut like half of your tongue off, which is called
a hema gloss sectomy. They're very interesting specimens to get
in surgical pathology lab. It's kind of crazy when you
get someone's tongue as a specimen because you could imagine
how difficult their life is going to be after that.
So they decided to give her a graph to replace
(23:15):
the part of the tongue that they took off, and
they took a chunk of her forearm off to graph
it onto her tongue. So the muscle and the skin
that they took off of her forearm so happened to
have a tattoo on it that says BOA, which stands
for Bloodstock Open Air, which is a heavy metal fest
(23:38):
in UK. I don't know, I've never heard of it,
but which is like kind of a crazy advertisement for
their little music fest there. Because now when she opens
her mouth, you could see these initials basically tattooed on
her tongue, Like you're saying, little music fest and it probably
is like one hundred thousand people. No, I know something crazy,
Well I know, but it's just kind of like it.
(24:00):
It's kind of metal to have like this happened to
you and then have like, you know what I'm saying.
So they could use this as like an ad or
something if she opens her mouth and you could see it.
But just think about she was talking about all the
crazy stuff that she had to go through to relearn
how to talk and to eat, and because really I'm
(24:20):
thinking like when I was sixteen and got my tongue pierced,
which was like the dumbest shit ever, but whatever, disgusting
it was, yeah, but like that was the thing back then,
and it I remember like my tongue being difficult to
like learn how to use again for a week afterwards.
Just like I remember like a day after I got
it done, I was trying to eat pasta and like
(24:40):
I couldn't like use my tongue. It was so weird.
And I can't even imagine getting it cut off and
then getting it grafted and have to relearn how to
use it. And also obviously with all those surgeries you're
not going to feel a part of it, and it's
just crazy. And she's so young, but I mean it's
either that or you lose your life, so that's your choice. No, totally.
(25:02):
I mean, this is obviously a shitty situation that happened,
but at least she has like some little cool story
to come out of it, in something unique from it,
you know. Yeah, it's so metal, all right. So let's
close out with this TikToker who's claiming he got a
rare skin condition from thrifted clothes. What do you think
about this? I one hundred percent think it's true. This
is why listen. You can get So he got a
(25:24):
condition called moluscleal kintagiosum, which is a viral infection, and
it's most commonly seen in kids because kids are always
touching each other, So you could get it from skin
to skin contact, just borrowing each other's clothes like weirds,
just very close contact with other people. Obviously you could
get it sexually transmitted as well, but it's most common
(25:45):
to occur in kids, and it starts off as like
these little pink bumps that are very itchy, and they
have a very specific appearance They're called umbilicated lesions because
they kind of look like like an umbulikas or a
belly button. They have this little dip it and he's
saying that he got it from there. You could also
get ringworm from clothes like that. They say that you're
(26:07):
supposed to wash all your clothes before before you wear them.
Do you do that? Like not with everything? Because sometimes
I buy like like I'm just thinking of a recent
thing I bought recently, I had bought a silk dress,
so like, I'm not gonna wash that, but the place
I bought it from, I know it's like a family.
(26:28):
It's my aunt's sister store, so I know she gets
everything dry clean before she puts it in there. But
typically I would not wash something like that. But if
I just bought like a T shirt, then yeah, I
would wash that. But if I got like a similar
silk dress from like Goodwill or something, I probably wouldn't
wash it because I wouldn't want to damage it. But
some I guess of these more curated stores like antique
(26:52):
stores or specifically consignment shops are pre treating them before
they're even putting them out. Like if I got clothes
whenever I get closed from the thrift store. I've always
washed them always, just because they smell and they're just
I don't know, it just like would make me feel better.
But you're supposed to wash your clothes that you buy
(27:13):
from everywhere, no, which I don't do. And I know
that people say you're supposed to because they have all
you really probably should because especially in where a lot
of clothes and stuff are coming from, like China, they
don't have the same regulations that we have here, and
there's like weird fabric softeners and yeah, but aren't they
still ultimately in the garment even if you wash them
(27:35):
or not. They I don't really know exactly, but like
getting that coating of it off would definitely be better
for sure. I Mean, the fabric itself could be made
of different chemicals, plastics and stuff like that, but sometimes
they put certain chemicals coating on the outside that people
could have skin reactions to. I'm I'm really bad with that. Like,
(27:58):
I know that you should do that, but I never
want why. I like, like I like new clothes, Like
I don't want them to be washed, and you know,
I don't know, I just like the way that they're
they are when they're new, they always look best, I think,
but yeah, you're supposed to. And but definitely with the
thrift store, I think that this is you know, I
(28:19):
do always. I always wonder about that because you know,
when you get lice or there's fleas in your house
or something, and you you're supposed to get rid of
your carpets and you're supposed to get rid of your
stuffed animals and all that stuff. Well you always see
like carpets and stuffed animals and stuff in thrift stores
and you're just like, dude, if that person had fleas
or that person had lice, bringing that into your house
(28:41):
would be such a bitch. Like but how long did
these things like like they're urulent? They know, yes they can,
they can, like if they're there for not like that.
I mean, it's not like if they're there for years,
it's going to be like that. But like if you
have a rug that has flea eggs all over it
and then you bring it to the thrift store and
(29:02):
it's there because there's the life cycle of them too,
Like some of them hatch and then they're and then
when they hatch, they have more eggs. So like if
you just don't catch it. It could go on for
a long time. That's why it's hard to get rid
of lice and it's hard to get rid of fleas. Like,
but that could be on these these objects, Like it
doesn't have to be on a person, it could be
(29:22):
on these objects. And then you go and buy the
rug at the at the thrift store, and then all
of a sudden, it's like you're bringing that into your
house now. All right, Well, let's say you buy something
from Target and somebody tries it on before you and
they have ringworm, yes, and then you just touch it
at the store and you don't end up buying, Like
can't you just get it from touching things while you're shopping,
(29:43):
not even like buying. It depends like how you're rubbing
it on yourself and where you're touching. I mean, you
in theory you could. I mean, it's it's the same
shit with like people trying on bathing suits and all
that stuff. It's just it's like kind of gross. Well
you're supposed to leave your under wear on when you
try on baby suits, but you know people are not
doing it, yeah, exactly, because like then you can't tell
(30:06):
what it really looks like, and then they put that
nasty ass like patch thing on the crotch and then
like that plastic sticker pad. You're like, ew, yeah exactly,
and god knows what's on that. So I don't know.
Like I've not washed my brand new clothes. I probably should,
but I want them to be crisp and brand new.
I don't want them to be washed. So, like, I
(30:28):
just can't see myself getting in that habit. But I
guess with thriftick clothes, it's it's important, it's really it's
not even thriftick clothes. It could happen to anything. Yeah,
you don't know who's touching stuff at the store before
you touch it. Yeah, that's true. So I guess just
be mindful of your clothing practice. Make all your own clothes.
(30:49):
That's that's the moral of the story. But then the
fabric you buy to make your own clothes could be
contaminated from somebody that that's at the store. I mean this,
it's not touching it though. Like when you have moluscom kintaggio,
some you have like itchy lesions all over your body
and then you put on a shirt and you're scratching them,
and the virus is like oozing out onto the inside
(31:10):
of the shirt. It's not like they just touched it
with their hand. People clothes for thousands of years, Like,
how often does this really happen? Have you ever heard
of the freakin' smallpox? Dude, that's how they gave it
to people on blankets and shit, Yeah, I know it happens,
So it's been happening for a long time. It's the
same way, I know, but it's not like, oh, like,
(31:33):
it's not like when you hit a cold, like, oh,
every six months, I got this weird raverskin condition for clothes.
I don't know. I'm gonna keep doing what I doing
and then I'll go from there, all right. Thank you

Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi.
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, we
are going to be talking about a baseball fan who
fell from the stands twenty one feet during an active
(00:29):
MLB game, blunt trauma, involving a porta potty, an unusual
reason for a tongue tattoo, and catching diseases from the
thrift store. All that and more on today's episode. So
let's get started with this Pittsburgh Pirates fan. Yeah. So
last night the Cubs were playing in Pittsburgh against the
(00:49):
Pirates and during the bottom of the seventh inning, suddenly
this fan fell over from the crowd onto the field
during an active play. It's such a nuts vic to
watch because we watched so many baseball games just to
think about a person falling over like that. That didn't
someone fall when we were at a Phillies game a
couple of years ago. Yeah, so, I actually and this
(01:12):
prompted me to write this whole article about things that
happened like this at games because we were at the
Phillys game I believe it was last season, and it
seems like above what's the call where the pictures are
the bullpen. I'm like, yeah, I'm like blanking at so
above the bullpen. I think the opposing team, I don't
remember who they were playing that day, threw a ball
(01:33):
up towards a fan and it landed in this like
flower box they had hanging above the bullpen, and when
the fan went to reach down and get the ball,
he ended up flipping over the edge and falling and
getting hurt. But I think that guy ended up being okay.
So this prompted me to write an article for the
groceryom called take Me Out to the Er, where I
was writing about people that get like a hit by
foul balls or fall over the edge. So one of
(01:56):
the cases was in twenty eleven at a Texas Rangers game,
similar situation. A player had tossed a fan of ball
in the stands and he ended up falling twenty feet
head first and he died in the ambulance. Later. And
then later in twenty fifteen in an Atlanta Braves game,
this guy was heckling a rod so much and he
was getting so animated and he ended up falling off
(02:17):
of the upper deck onto the lower deck about fifty
feet head first and ended up dying. Oh my god,
that's nuts. Yeah, it's really horrible. I'm actually surprised it
doesn't happen more often, because do you ever notice when
foul balls, the really high pitched ones, which they call
piss missiles, are like coming down and it seems like
it's coming in our section in the upper deck, but
(02:39):
it really is going below and people lean over so far. Yeah,
I guess they're not paying attention. And so many people
are drunk. We know that, so I mean that always
adds a little something to it. This particular case is
a little weird, though, because when I saw the video,
obviously the first thing I do is put it in
slow motion to see what exactly is happened, and I
(03:01):
don't even know. I mean, the guy, I guess the
guy fell, but the whole thing is weird because it
looks like he's sitting in his seat and it almost
looks like the same thing at the Philly Stadium that
there's these clear barriers in the front so people don't
fall over the edge, but they're basically just like a
piece of plexiglass, right, And it looks like he got
(03:24):
up out of his seat and then stood up and
almost maybe stood up on his actual seat or got
up on the edge of the barrier there and then
fell over the edge. But then it did look like
he reached his arm up, so I wouldn't say it
almost had the appearance that he was intentionally trying to
go over the edge, but then it looked like he
(03:44):
was trying to grab that he fell by accident or something.
But he ended up falling twenty one feet, which is significant.
I mean, if you fall anywhere over seventy feet, even
usually even a little bit lower than that, you're going
to die. There's like a high chance that you're not
surviving anything over I mean, twenty feet is a lot.
(04:05):
And this guy got a skull fracture. So they were
saying that he's in critical condition, and that could be
a variety of things that could be like, Okay, this
guy's definitely not surviving, or we're just not sure exactly
how the extent of his injuries. Yet I mean, to me,
I agree with you. It looked like he launched himself
(04:26):
out of exactly sight. It's very weird because also was
he It also looked like from the video and I
found videos from multiple different angles of this but of
course they're like pretty far away, but it appeared that
he's not wearing a shirt in shoes, and in the
close up photographs they took of the emergency responders working
on him, he's not wearing a shirt and shoes. But
(04:48):
I don't know if he like fell on the field
that way, or if they ended up coming off at
some point during the ordeal. But I have no idea.
I think that that's bizarre too. Yeah, I like, even
when you look at the video slowed down, clearly this
big play is happening and a lot of people are
rising at the same time, but he has at least
a full second where he lifts up before everybody else,
(05:11):
and he just seemingly lifts up from his seat and
immediately launches over the edge. It was just so bizarre,
like he jumped or something. Yeah, I don't know, it's
very weird. But so when you're in critical condition, it's
it's when they determine that your there's major functions of
your body that are not working correctly that you need
medical assistance. So maybe you're not breathing on your own
(05:33):
and you need a ventilator or something like that, and
it doesn't necessarily mean that a person's going to die,
because you can totally survive that, But it just means
that they're really unsure because of how unstable their normal
function is at that point. So when you get a
skull fracture, it's not it's not the same as if
(05:54):
you break your leg. And and really you could break
your leg very seriously too, But you're not just con
learned about the broken bone of the skull, but what's
inside the skull, which is the brain, which is your
most important or one of your most important organs. Right
if it doesn't function correctly, you can't live. And so
when you get a skull fracture like that, not only
(06:15):
could you get a traumatic brain injury like a concussion
or a contusion, but you also can get a brain bleed,
which could also cause a huge problem for someone and
all and they might have to get additional surgeries when
they get to the hospital. So he could have lasting
brain damage from this, permanent brain damage from this. It's
(06:35):
it's serious. And again I'm I'm pretty certain that you'll
when you hear the investigation that there's going to be
alcohol involved somehow. I'm just guarantee that. Wait, So when
you wrote that article. Wasn't there one about someone getting
injured by the hot dog gun? Yeah? I think it
was at the Phillies game. The Philly fanatic was like
driving around cheating the hot dogs off and they hit
(06:57):
this like poor old lady in the face and she
had like a black eye. Right, yeah, so she was
on the New Show. She might add a skull fracture
or something too, right like it was, no think. I
think she just got like a black eye from it.
But there was another guy at the Phillies before they
had the nets on the bottom level who got hit
by a foul ball and like literally the scan of
(07:18):
his head he had this like giant round fracture in
the front of his face. Yeah, that's nuts. And about
a week after we published this article, we were sitting
in our old section. This had to be all right,
So this was two years ago because it was when
we were on the other side in three sixteen. So
when we were sitting there, you guys had just got
up to leave and Sosa hit a foul ball and
(07:41):
it was like coming up and I was like, it's
not coming up this far, and then it just kept
getting closer and I was like, well, it's coming up
this far, but it's not gonna hit me. And then
it just kept getting closer to my face and literally
frigging did not stick his hand out at that exact moment.
It would have hit me straight in the head. But
I was like, there has been ironic There's no way
out of four eight thousand seats that I'm gonna get
(08:01):
hit in the face with this ball. And a week
after I just read an article about this happening to
other people, I could see that being on the news,
Like that's that's definitely like a like a New York
Post worthy story. Yeah, woman writes article about baseball accidents
gets into by baseball one week later. Does every baseball
team have the hot dog gun or is that a
(08:22):
specific Philly thing? I would say most of them probably do,
because like a lot of games have like t shirt
guns and stuff. I don't know, it's just phillyes just
has like a very interesting unique things. All right, let's
get let's get into this this headline that's been going
around that a teenager was struck and killed by a
(08:44):
fire truck, because there's a little bit more to the
story than than just that headline. Yeah, so this girl
was coming home from her friend's prom send off party.
I don't know what that is, but she was dancing
on top of this suv as it was driving, and
then it suddenly made to turn and she slid off
of the roof. Seconds later, this fire truck that was
responding to an emergency ended up hitting her. Yeah, like
(09:08):
so so really like the fire truck doesn't have anything
to do with it, That's what I mean. But it's
it's a juicier headline to be like a fire truck struck,
I know. And it's terrible for whoever was driving the
fire truck, because when you're responding to an emergency, you
sure don't expect to see a woman laying on the
ground in the middle of the road. I mean's and like, listen,
(09:30):
this is this is not like oh this this teenager
did a stupid thing that like lots of people do this.
I don't understand it at all. You would think, like, oh,
remember in the movie Big when they opened the moon
roof and they were out and like driving through the city.
Give but most of your body this is in the car. Yeah,
(09:50):
this is like like it just doesn't even make any sense.
This is the car driving sitting on top of the
car and standing on top of a car driving, like,
how do you think that that's ever going to work out? Right?
I mean, And and the parents had said that she
was in the car with a bunch of her teenage friends.
I swear, I just this is why teenagers need to
(10:13):
have way more restrictions, because the minds of all of them,
like not one person in the car thinking that that
was a bad idea. Yeah, there is why this girl's dead.
I don't think most of them were teenagers, like fifteen sixteen.
I think she was nineteen years old, Like that's an adult, yeah,
but they're still underdeveloped brain And I think she was eighteen.
(10:34):
This is like a bunch of kids not thinking. Their
brains are definitely not all the way developed. It's like
you look at them and their bodies are developed, but
their brains are definitely not developed as an adult. It's
just they're not. And that's what I think. That's why.
I mean, even since I started driving, they've put a
ton of restrictions on younger people driving. I think there's
(10:56):
a rule that you're only allowed to have X amount
of people in the car and all this stuff because
they're like and then add on top of it the
texting situation. It's just, I just I just don't know
why why anybody thought that this was going to be
a good idea. So, so she this truck is, it's
an escalade. They're turning left. The girl falls off, so
(11:17):
right there, she could have got killed just from falling
off of a moving vehicle onto the street, got horrible
abrasions on her skin, skull fracture or all that business.
But she so, I don't even know. So they'll do
the autopsy and try to determine what happened. I don't
know if that's even going to be possible, because a
fire truck weighs so much hitting a person going fast.
(11:38):
I mean, god knows how fast they were driving, right,
she got creamed. So I don't know if they're going
to be able to say, like, Okay, she was already
had an injury that was inconsistent with life before she
even got hit by the fire truck. I don't even
know how they would be able to determine that. But
they might not be able to. Yeah, I mean, it
seems like it happened within like seconds of her falling off. Yeah,
(11:58):
the roof of the car. It's just it's just like
it's just completely nuts and and and like think about
that some some firefighter has to now live with that
for you know, it's and it's going to be years
of court and this and that and going through everything,
and it's just it's just messed up. Man. Yeah, all right,
(12:20):
So this video has been circulating online this week of
a person running through a pretty bad windstorm it looks
like and then suddenly in the video you see this
porta potty like flying along this soccer field and it
struck the referee. I mean, it's kind of like, I
hate to say this, but the video is kind of
funny looking, but funny was okay, But yeah, that's yeah.
(12:42):
I mean just like when you watch it, it's just
funny because a porta potty and then think about this
thing flying through the air and how gross that is
just thinking about porta potties are seriously just they just
have the worst smell ever, and think about one flying
through the air with all that rain and wind and
hitting your body. But they they were saying that they
(13:03):
weighed two hundred and thirty to two hundred and fifty pounds,
so that's some serious blunt trauma right there. The guy
was okay, luckily, you know what I mean. It's I mean,
it's kind of a crazy story. But the videos just
you know how it's just one of those videos that
it reminds me if you're walking down the street and
you see someone fall in your instant reaction is to laugh.
(13:28):
Like for me anyway, I remember one time when I
was working at the hospital and I was with one
of my friends who's also just got kind of like
a sick sense of humor, and like one of you
know when you have a friend that you just like
laugh with and stuff all the time. And we saw
this lady like fall on the ice in front of us,
and like we're both in our uniforms, and I just
(13:49):
like I was trying not to laugh, but I was crying,
like holding in my tears. It's like she obviously she
wasn't her. It just like looks so funny. That's your
instant reaction. Know it happened, it's terrible, people do I
saw someone get hit by a car once on a bike,
and I just I just thought, I don't know, like
(14:09):
it no, it was it was funny. Like it's just
a nervous response. You no, it's not a nervous response.
Sometimes it's just funny like this late did you ever
see like Wayne's World and the girls like ride in
a bike and she's like hi Wayne, the girl that
was obsessed with Wayne, and she like drove right into
the bike or into a car ride in her bike.
(14:30):
It was like it just looked like that me like
I don't know, it just was like funny. But Lilian
fell down the steps at school a few weeks ago,
like pretty big because she's wearing those stupid fucking uggs
all the time that like twist kids ankles and they
think they look so cool, but they always are like
falling and stuff in them. And she fell down the
steps and her best friend like busted out laughing at her,
(14:51):
like and I was just like I love you, like
this is this is hilarious because I because it's funny,
like like Okay, she's not hurt whatever, but like I
don't know, Well, I hope you I hope if you
ever follow listen, this is this is why I'm not
a nurse and I don't take care of live people
because maybe I just I don't have compassion like that.
(15:13):
I mean, I'm thinking of a situation or which is
the best onever where you got the wrong car And
I'm thinking, if it's the person that owned the wrong
car ended up coming out and freaking out and calling
the cops or something because you were sitting in their car,
I might have peeded my pants laughing because that would
have been the funniest thing ever. So maybe I have
a little bit of your trait. But this person did
(15:34):
end up being fined. At least it wasn't the end
with the door open, so they didn't get like all
like the poop and stuff all over them. That would
have been Yeah, But the wind was so crazy and
you know when it rained sideways and stuff, it was
like one of those looking events. I just imagine the
whole entire shit and everything like miss mixing with the
rain and just like spraying everyone around. It's not It's
(15:55):
nothing you ever think about when you're at a field
that these things can become projectiles. This episode is brought
to you by the Gross Room. Guys. The Gross Room
style is over, but you could still get in and
try it out for only five ninety nine a month,
(16:16):
so you really should get in. We've done a couple,
so every week we do a high profile or celebrity
death dissection. A few weeks ago, we did necrophilia, which
was you know, if you read it, you might not
ever get that part of your life back. But we
also did one recently on Virginia Doe Free because whenever
there's anything that's that's breaking news on a celebrity or
(16:38):
high profile person, we're always covering those every week in
the Grosser Room. We also are going to be doing
coming up shortly, physician assistant suicide and getting into all
the details of that because that's pretty interesting, how the
laws and everything that go with it, and just some
of the things you wouldn't think of. With that, we
have a bunch of new crazy video and more. So
(17:00):
give it, give it a check out, check it out. Yeah,
over tothegross room dot com. Now, all right, so let's
get into this this next case that's kind of crazy
of a man predicting his own murder. Yeah, So police
got a call about two murdered men located in a
(17:21):
pickup truck in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and it turns
out that one of the victims had predicted this entire
situation the day before on his Facebook. So he wrote
a post on his Facebook that said, tell me, I
don't think that this makes sense, but it's it's this
is what I'm not reading in verbatim because it's not great.
I want to read it. It says, if today isn't workout,
(17:44):
know that it was James Collier, the piece of crap
that I invited to this mountain that still hasn't left
it and is working the fuck out of my fucking cousin.
I'm rolling down there right now, Jimmy, I hope you
shoot me. Okay, so I guess he did. I guess
he got his wish come true. Well, yeah, so I
guess he invited this guy to confront him about this
(18:06):
problem he was having there thinking the issue that was
going on between them was that the guy, James Collier,
wasn't moving out of this property that the victim was
planning on listing for sale, and he was basically letting
his Facebook know I'm inviting this guy to confront him,
so if it doesn't work out, it was him that
killed me. And that's exactly what happened. He was smart, right,
(18:31):
There's lots of cases like this where people, I mean,
we were just talking about it on last episode or
two episodes ago about Virginia drew Free and like how
she had put a letter on her Facebook that said,
I'm not suicidal, just letting you know, like people do
that sometimes, not that I mean, I guess they could
be brought up in court for sure. All right. Wait,
(18:51):
though I wouldn't have conspiracy brain for a second, because
something similar happened in the Kings of Tupelo documentary that
you still need to watch. So what if another person
had murdered this victim and then his enemy was James Collier,
so he already was planning on murdering the victim, or
(19:13):
he was planning on it, or he had already murdered
the victim and then went onto that guy's Facebook and
said it was going to be James Collier that did it.
That's how I said. But get on someone's Facebook like that,
because if you killed them and you have their phone,
all you have to do is go into it with
their face recognition. The face doesn't though they're dead. I
don't think so. Yes, my face recognition doesn't even work
(19:37):
when I'm laying in bed in a certain angle. I
don't think if you're like, if you're dead, that it's
working when your eyes are like, I don't know about that.
So that's kind of a stretch to get cast into
the King's of Tufolow where the president and all these
other politicians got anthraped or not anthrax. They got some
powder sent to them. Maybe it was anthrax. Anyway, they
(19:59):
are right, it was right. So they got all this
rice and said to them and they thought it was
this guy that was an Elvis impersonator. When they were
investigating it, they realized he was basically like too stupid
to have made the rice and they're like, it clearly
couldn't have been him, And it turns out it was
his enemy that set him up. Uh well, I mean
that could totally happen. Yeah, I mean, it totally could happen.
(20:20):
But obviously they're gonna do more of an investigation. This
isn't just like a clear cut like this guy did it,
you know what I mean. But it's definitely leading them
to the person that probably did it. Yeah, but they
had arrested that guy and it took them a while
to figure out it was his enemy that set him up,
who was a way new and impersonator. You have to
watch this show. It's so crazy. A real story. Yes,
(20:44):
oh okay, because like if it was fake, I'm like,
I'm not interested. And it's als like body part trafficking too.
You have to watch it. It's okay, what is it called
Kings of Tupoulo. Okay, it's it sounds it sounds outrageous.
I'll watch it. I don't know. I think it's like
the Sectu word of the honesty or like covering its
some capacity. It's so ridiculous. But let's move on to
(21:07):
the sextuary. So last year, a twenty three year old
nottus this lesion under her tongue. She initially blew it
off as an ulcer. Over time, it kept getting worse,
but she still wasn't worried about it. So she went
to the doctor hoping to just get some medication for it,
and it ended up being something so much worse. Yeah.
So the doctor looked at it and said, like, all right,
this is this is weird that you've had this for
a while, and I don't like the way it looks.
(21:27):
So they did a biopsy and they diagnosed it as
squamous cell carcinoma, which is cancer of the tongue. Now,
this is very unusual for a twenty three year old
to get tongue cancer. It most commonly happens in people
who well, really if we could learn anything from val Kilmar,
because he had base of tongue cancer, which is an
(21:48):
oropharynx cancer cancer of the mouth, and it most commonly
occurs in people that have the HPV virus. So about
seventy to eighty percent of these cancers are caused by
HPV virus. So her doctor made a comment that was
just like, even if you drank and smoked every day,
there's no way that the cancer could have formed this fast.
So we don't know what caused it. But I'm thinking, like,
(22:11):
that's that's actually not the most common reason that people
get oral cancer anymore. It's because of the HPV ryers.
And certainly if you get HPV in your cervix, especially
if you're you're sexually active at a young age. There
are women that can develop full blown cancer at twenty
three years old. It's not common, but it's definitely happened,
(22:31):
So I'm thinking it's more likely that that's her risk factor.
But also if you drink alcohol and you smoke, then
that increases your risk. And if you drink alcohol and
smoke together, you're at like a thirty percent increase riskly
getting oral cancer. So it's just really the worst thing
to do. So but anyway, so she gets diagnosed with
(22:52):
this cancer and they say, okay, well we have to
cut like half of your tongue off, which is called
a hema gloss sectomy. They're very interesting specimens to get
in surgical pathology lab. It's kind of crazy when you
get someone's tongue as a specimen because you could imagine
how difficult their life is going to be after that.
So they decided to give her a graph to replace
(23:15):
the part of the tongue that they took off, and
they took a chunk of her forearm off to graph
it onto her tongue. So the muscle and the skin
that they took off of her forearm so happened to
have a tattoo on it that says BOA, which stands
for Bloodstock Open Air, which is a heavy metal fest
(23:38):
in UK. I don't know, I've never heard of it,
but which is like kind of a crazy advertisement for
their little music fest there. Because now when she opens
her mouth, you could see these initials basically tattooed on
her tongue, Like you're saying, little music fest and it probably
is like one hundred thousand people. No, I know something crazy,
Well I know, but it's just kind of like it.
(24:00):
It's kind of metal to have like this happened to
you and then have like, you know what I'm saying.
So they could use this as like an ad or
something if she opens her mouth and you could see it.
But just think about she was talking about all the
crazy stuff that she had to go through to relearn
how to talk and to eat, and because really I'm
(24:20):
thinking like when I was sixteen and got my tongue pierced,
which was like the dumbest shit ever, but whatever, disgusting
it was, yeah, but like that was the thing back then,
and it I remember like my tongue being difficult to
like learn how to use again for a week afterwards.
Just like I remember like a day after I got
it done, I was trying to eat pasta and like
(24:40):
I couldn't like use my tongue. It was so weird.
And I can't even imagine getting it cut off and
then getting it grafted and have to relearn how to
use it. And also obviously with all those surgeries you're
not going to feel a part of it, and it's
just crazy. And she's so young, but I mean it's
either that or you lose your life, so that's your choice. No, totally.
(25:02):
I mean, this is obviously a shitty situation that happened,
but at least she has like some little cool story
to come out of it, in something unique from it,
you know. Yeah, it's so metal, all right. So let's
close out with this TikToker who's claiming he got a
rare skin condition from thrifted clothes. What do you think
about this? I one hundred percent think it's true. This
is why listen. You can get So he got a
(25:24):
condition called moluscleal kintagiosum, which is a viral infection, and
it's most commonly seen in kids because kids are always
touching each other, So you could get it from skin
to skin contact, just borrowing each other's clothes like weirds,
just very close contact with other people. Obviously you could
get it sexually transmitted as well, but it's most common
(25:45):
to occur in kids, and it starts off as like
these little pink bumps that are very itchy, and they
have a very specific appearance They're called umbilicated lesions because
they kind of look like like an umbulikas or a
belly button. They have this little dip it and he's
saying that he got it from there. You could also
get ringworm from clothes like that. They say that you're
(26:07):
supposed to wash all your clothes before before you wear them.
Do you do that? Like not with everything? Because sometimes
I buy like like I'm just thinking of a recent
thing I bought recently, I had bought a silk dress,
so like, I'm not gonna wash that, but the place
I bought it from, I know it's like a family.
(26:28):
It's my aunt's sister store, so I know she gets
everything dry clean before she puts it in there. But
typically I would not wash something like that. But if
I just bought like a T shirt, then yeah, I
would wash that. But if I got like a similar
silk dress from like Goodwill or something, I probably wouldn't
wash it because I wouldn't want to damage it. But
some I guess of these more curated stores like antique
(26:52):
stores or specifically consignment shops are pre treating them before
they're even putting them out. Like if I got clothes
whenever I get closed from the thrift store. I've always
washed them always, just because they smell and they're just
I don't know, it just like would make me feel better.
But you're supposed to wash your clothes that you buy
(27:13):
from everywhere, no, which I don't do. And I know
that people say you're supposed to because they have all
you really probably should because especially in where a lot
of clothes and stuff are coming from, like China, they
don't have the same regulations that we have here, and
there's like weird fabric softeners and yeah, but aren't they
still ultimately in the garment even if you wash them
(27:35):
or not. They I don't really know exactly, but like
getting that coating of it off would definitely be better
for sure. I Mean, the fabric itself could be made
of different chemicals, plastics and stuff like that, but sometimes
they put certain chemicals coating on the outside that people
could have skin reactions to. I'm I'm really bad with that. Like,
(27:58):
I know that you should do that, but I never
want why. I like, like I like new clothes, Like
I don't want them to be washed, and you know,
I don't know, I just like the way that they're
they are when they're new, they always look best, I think,
but yeah, you're supposed to. And but definitely with the
thrift store, I think that this is you know, I
(28:19):
do always. I always wonder about that because you know,
when you get lice or there's fleas in your house
or something, and you you're supposed to get rid of
your carpets and you're supposed to get rid of your
stuffed animals and all that stuff. Well you always see
like carpets and stuffed animals and stuff in thrift stores
and you're just like, dude, if that person had fleas
or that person had lice, bringing that into your house
(28:41):
would be such a bitch. Like but how long did
these things like like they're urulent? They know, yes they can,
they can, like if they're there for not like that.
I mean, it's not like if they're there for years,
it's going to be like that. But like if you
have a rug that has flea eggs all over it
and then you bring it to the thrift store and
(29:02):
it's there because there's the life cycle of them too,
Like some of them hatch and then they're and then
when they hatch, they have more eggs. So like if
you just don't catch it. It could go on for
a long time. That's why it's hard to get rid
of lice and it's hard to get rid of fleas. Like,
but that could be on these these objects, Like it
doesn't have to be on a person, it could be
(29:22):
on these objects. And then you go and buy the
rug at the at the thrift store, and then all
of a sudden, it's like you're bringing that into your
house now. All right, Well, let's say you buy something
from Target and somebody tries it on before you and
they have ringworm, yes, and then you just touch it
at the store and you don't end up buying, Like
can't you just get it from touching things while you're shopping,
(29:43):
not even like buying. It depends like how you're rubbing
it on yourself and where you're touching. I mean, you
in theory you could. I mean, it's it's the same
shit with like people trying on bathing suits and all
that stuff. It's just it's like kind of gross. Well
you're supposed to leave your under wear on when you
try on baby suits, but you know people are not
doing it, yeah, exactly, because like then you can't tell
(30:06):
what it really looks like, and then they put that
nasty ass like patch thing on the crotch and then
like that plastic sticker pad. You're like, ew, yeah exactly,
and god knows what's on that. So I don't know.
Like I've not washed my brand new clothes. I probably should,
but I want them to be crisp and brand new.
I don't want them to be washed. So, like, I
(30:28):
just can't see myself getting in that habit. But I
guess with thriftick clothes, it's it's important, it's really it's
not even thriftick clothes. It could happen to anything. Yeah,
you don't know who's touching stuff at the store before
you touch it. Yeah, that's true. So I guess just
be mindful of your clothing practice. Make all your own clothes.
(30:49):
That's that's the moral of the story. But then the
fabric you buy to make your own clothes could be
contaminated from somebody that that's at the store. I mean this,
it's not touching it though. Like when you have moluscom kintaggio,
some you have like itchy lesions all over your body
and then you put on a shirt and you're scratching them,
and the virus is like oozing out onto the inside
(31:10):
of the shirt. It's not like they just touched it
with their hand. People clothes for thousands of years, Like,
how often does this really happen? Have you ever heard
of the freakin' smallpox? Dude, that's how they gave it
to people on blankets and shit, Yeah, I know it happens,
So it's been happening for a long time. It's the
same way, I know, but it's not like, oh, like,
(31:33):
it's not like when you hit a cold, like, oh,
every six months, I got this weird raverskin condition for clothes.
I don't know. I'm gonna keep doing what I doing
and then I'll go from there, all right. Thank you
