Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jersey and Amanda jamnas If.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We've asked our producer Joe to put together some information
about this story. So it's the worst thing she's ever
had to do. I was reading and she's done some
terrible stuff. She rode that bad element wave with us.
This is about Andre the Giant. His real name is
Andrea Rehner Russimorph his French. And we know him of
course as he was a professional wrestler yep. He was
(00:23):
known as the eighth Wonder of the World because of
his giant size as a result of gigantism caused by
excessive growth hormone. He was around seven foot four and
he weighed two hundred and thirty six kilos.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
How big is of How heavy is a fridge?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What sort of fridge? Barfridge? Probably not a bar fridge.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Not a regular fridge.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Has it got an ice maker a water filter in it?
Some fridges don't have the water.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Filter, all right, So you've got a regular fridge that
doesn't have an ice maker or water filter.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
How heavy would that be?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I reckon fifty eight kilos?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Well, he was two hundred and thirty six kilos. He
could have gone into the removal business very easily. Well,
there's been a story that's been around for many, many years,
and it happened on the set of Princess Bride.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Remember him and Princess Bride.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You never said anything about killing anyone. I've hired you
to help me start on war.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You don't take its right killing in the girl.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You were not hired for your brains, your hypopotamic land
mass or his acting ability. By the sound of it, well.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Apparently it's just about the size.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
This has been verified by Rob Ryiner, the director of
Princess Bride. During the filming of the Princess Bride, Andre
the Giant let out an enormous this is a quote,
an enormous, thunderous fart that reportedly lasted for about fifteen
seconds straight, fifteen seconds as big as a fridge.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Is it a double door fridge? Fifteen seconds? One Mississippi two,
Mississippi three, Mississippi four, Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
We get the picture.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's that's just five mississippis.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, apparently the director, Wow, that's it the uoka Andre,
and he said, I am no boss.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Everyone laughed and.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Then everyone gave Well, apparently everyone from the crew to
the cast cracked up, and it was one of those
unforgettable wonderful moments. Well, fast forward to what's happened on
an aeroplane that's.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Like the set of Steel Magnolias.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Dolly one rip.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well. Apparently, because he was so big, normal conveniences like
toilets and hotel beds and things like that, it just weren't, yes,
well weren't very good for him. So apparently the wrestling
great Brutus the barber Beefcake real name Edward Leslie. He
recounted that he was on a Boeing seven four to
seven flight from Tokyo to the US with Andre, the Giant.
(02:41):
Andre was desperate to use the lavatory but couldn't fit
into a standard.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Airport toilet alane toilet, air sorry, airplane toilet. This is
where this story gets rough.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Plane.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
As a solution, flight attendants rigged a black garbage bag
between beverage carts near the gully they rolled in for privacy,
and this is the quote, and Andrea went to down. Apparently,
Brutus says he I love the description. Brutus describes the chaos.
I've never heard anything like it.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The smell.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
People were falling out of their seats, gagging, puping, puking, crying, screaming,
I couldn't breathe. He estimated Andre must have filled half
a garbage bag in the well. Apparently, Yeah, that's what
they had to string garbage bags between the beverage cars.
You know, I hope they closed beverage service. And this
(03:35):
is because when he ate. At every time he'd sit
down to eat, he'd have ten kilos of food.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
How much is that compared.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
To a fridge that's a bar fridge.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
How BIG's a palmi? How heavy would palm like.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Two hundred grams?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
He had ten kilos, so his bow output was similarly massive,
it says here. After the ordeal, attendants wrapped the bag
in multiple layers for Bozel and sent it belong below.
He apparently calmly returned to his seat, ordered wine, and
resumed beating another tin.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
He ate another bar fridge.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
There's lots of rumors about how because in hotels he
couldn't fit on the loo.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You'd have to go in the bar, stomp it, stop it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
House keeping that day.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh wow, Andre the Giant, he's dead? Yes, well, what
might surprise you to hear? He passed away at the
age of forty six. Who knew that his health wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Andre the Giant, I.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Knew you'd want to go back to feel that.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We didn't. There's just some questions.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
We have covered it thoroughly, thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So makeshift toilet on a plane. He was so large
he couldn't get into the toilet.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I'll get out again.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So the host he's made up of makeshift.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The flight attendants, please, they've been insulted enough in this story.
They rigged a black garbage bag between beverage carts near
the galley, rolled in curtains for privacy, and as the
quote goes, Andre went to town.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I just so, And where where does that go after that?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, I'm just reading you what I've said here, not
into baggage. Well, they've said.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
The attendants wrapped the bag of poop in multiple layers
for disposal and sent it below. So I don't know
if it does come out on the conveyor belt or
if they drop it from the air, and that would
wreck someone's house.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Would someone dreadful way to go.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
On the plane. I'm too scared to even ask for
a bottle of water or anything else.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You'd have to be famous if you weren't famous, and
you'd say, excuse me, I'm going to do it pooh
in the galley, and you're going to need some bags.
I don't think I think you'd be tasted in a
second me.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
There was one time I got caught you on a
plane and I had to go and the plane. You're
allowed to go on a plane, yeah, but the plane
was about to land and.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
The hosty what she rerigged up for you?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
She bashed on the door and said, when the plane's landing.
I said, I'm sorry that this is just going to
have to deal. We're just gonna have to deal with this. Whyoul,
It'll be okay.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
You were mid and she told me through it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
She was sitting in the jump seat next to it.
She said okay, and then way, yeah, I'm okay, and
I landed in the plane mid pooh. Well yeah, obviously,
well you know, let's not going to details, but yeah,
it was.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I'm surprised they let you do it. This is what
you're doing, and get out.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
This is back in the nineties when you could do anything.
Ye can't do they.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Can't do anything now. As Andre the Giant got out
in time
Speaker 2 (06:23):
No further questions, counseled, thank you, let's move on, let's
wrap it up.
