(00:00):
We are the ladies who sparked myinterest. It's so much fun because there's
this anonymity. You are a twinkie. I want to see Jesse use a
twinkie. Yeah. I have ahard time thinking about putting my lips to
that. Yeah, all right,Diana take it away. I thought water
could turn to wine, but metally. I had to have my allergen dose
(00:22):
reduced again for the trees. Yeah, they had to remix it entirely because
like I was at the lowest dosepossible for the particular mix of serum they
were giving me. And I've plumbagain, right, it's like a plumb
size mark on your arm. Well, I was getting systemic reactions. It
means my whole system, not justmy arms. Yea. Even though I
(00:43):
was only taking the smaller dose andit was causing some heart palpitations. That's
scary. So they're like, yeah, let's just reduce it and be safe.
And so I had to do thatbetter. Well they have. It
takes two weeks for them to mixit, so I don't get another one
until next week, so we'll giveit a shot. So it's like it's
(01:06):
such a process. Yeah, itreally those trees, man, and then
something picked up this week. Idon't know what was in the air,
but I definitely had a harder time, So I feel like it's worth a
shot anyway. And I even wentto like urgent care to get my heart
checked out and stuff, and they'relike, it's fine, it's just like
every now and then it misses abeat, and I'm like, my heart
thought, like, that doesn't seemright. It doesn't normally feel this way,
(01:26):
so I think it was the allergisI love it. They're, oh,
it's fine, just every once ina while, you're skipping a beat.
Like, no, that's problematic,that's terrifying. Does they I don't
like this me either. Well,you know, it's just your body's getting
introduced to these things that it doesn'tlike, and that's part of the training
if I have any hope of gettingover these awful allergies, which are probably
(01:48):
you know, because you don't wantto have allergies too that cause you to
inflammation all the time. It's notgood to be inflamed all the time,
so you want to tint it.So you get four shots of allergies,
two in each arm, right,that's right, always in the same location,
so that the one that's really affectingyou or the trees. Now I
know you're getting one for cats andone for dogs. Are those they're fine?
(02:08):
Your body might not become allergic tothose anymore. Like in terms of
just how it looks on my armsystemically, I don't really know what's happening,
but in terms of what it lookslike on my arm, the trees
or like like a little bit low, smaller than a plum size. In
terms of it's puffiness on my Onthe cats, it's maybe like a quarter,
and then dogs it's even smaller.So what you're telling us is that
(02:30):
you might be able to get acat in a future, I might be
able to visit you without needing azyrtech. But then your life will be
complete. And that is for youto come out here and not be sniffy
all the time because of the cats. I actually do all right, as
long as I take as zertech aheadof time. Yeah, I know,
(02:51):
but I don't like it that youhave to take that either totally. I
saw this TikTok trends about fighting inflammationin your body, and I don't know
anything about it. So this isjust me blurting out what I've heard on
TikTok. It could be total bullshit, but I want to look into it.
It's this idea of everyone should starttheir morning off drinking an eight ounce
(03:14):
glass of water with a teaspoon ofbaking soda in it. Does that taste
good like? It probably does it? It's probably not gonna taste good.
It's gonna better as all hell.It's like an antacid. It's it's a
basic but natural substance, and youcan take it if you have, you
know, stomach acid. I usedto do that sometimes. What's it taste
like? That's just kind of salty. And that's what you have to be
(03:36):
careful of is you don't drink toomuch of it because it's a high salt
content, So you don't want tolike over salinate yourself. I think I
already do that naturally. Just I'mlike, oh, so if you want
to adjust your pH the best thingyou can do is eat a lot of
green vegetables. Yeah, but I'mnot kind of into this baking soda thing.
I want to find I'm gonna lookinto it, and I'm like,
gonaive it. Do some research.Don't just don't just be like TikTok,
(03:57):
TikTok. It TikTok told me todo it. You guy told me to
do it. And you know howI feel ab the Tickety tick Talks.
I'm starting to feel like we soundlike a health podcast. However, we
are not. We are not,but we should be with two hypochondriacs on
it if you are listening to usfor the first time, we are the
Ladies of spark My Interest Podcast.My name is Diana, I'm Deborah,
(04:18):
I'm Jesse. And every week weget together. We gather articles that we
found online or in books or inmagazines, and we share them with one
another, and at the end ofevery episode we vote to see who had
the most spark Worthy article prize wemade TBD. At this point, we
don't care if we're just in itfor the glory of that win. And
I believe we all are bringing ittoday, damn straight, and we're gonna
(04:40):
start this shit out with us sparkme up right, Yes, right,
we sure are, And I broughtit all this day, October twenty fourth.
In eighteen sixty one, the firsttranscontinental telegraph system was completed by Western
Union that it made it possible totransmit messages rapidly and in quotation or in
(05:03):
brackets. It says by mid nineteenthcentury standards from coast to coast. So
this technological advance, pioneered by SamuelF. B. Morris, heralded the
end of the Pony Express. Whatwas the message? I know, I
don't know what the message was.This is like the Google search, was
it? Like you up and alsoup? Jesse's talking about a booty call.
(05:30):
We just go right by it.I'm sorry I missed it. I
was trying to give you my otherfun fact. And Jesse wants to talk
about a sex as always the first, the first booty call initiation, you
know me so. Also on thisday it is called the United Nations Day,
and that is because in a nineteenforty five that is the anniversary of
(05:54):
the founding of the United Nations onOctober twenty fourth, nineteen forty five.
Really, yeah, I didn't know. For some reason, I was thinking
United Nations was a bit younger thanI. I didn't know. I'm having
this memory of like Eleanor Roosevelt beinga big part of that as a core
memory for Jesse right there. SoI'm looking it up. Eleanor Roosevelt was
(06:15):
appointed in nineteen forty six as adelegate to the United Nations General Assembly by
United States President Harry S. Truman. Well, there you go. I'm
some fun facts. Everybody want tofeel a little bit smarter today, go
around telling everybody's United Nations day.You know what I saw, speaking of
dates, I saw a post onTwitter or something that was like, nineteen
(06:36):
seventy is as far away from twothousand and twenty two as it is to
nineteen eighteen. Now, what thefuck? Like? Who puts the stuff
together? Like? How feeling shit? Yes, it's like how in the
world? And I don't know.We weren't around in the seventies, but
we were close enough, and itjust feels like, wow, man,
(06:59):
I just feel old when I seethose kinds of things. A lot of
changes from nineteen eighteen to nineteen seventies, how many? I mean, I
guess there's a lot of changes fromthe seventies to now, but it feels
like disappointingly few. Like they thoughtcars, they thought we'd be like living
on Mars. All you have todo is go to Tomorrowland at Disneyland and
be like, yeah, we're abig disappointment. Yeah, yeah, I
(07:23):
think the jets are. It's like, I can't remember when the Jetsons take
place. It's like in twenty fiftyor whatever, and they realized that George
Jetson, the entitled asshole, wouldhave had millennial parents. Yeah, that's
not a kick to the cratch.I don't know what it is, but
as far as our immediate future isconcerned, I see a sparked me up
(07:46):
in our future. There you go, and I have it. Our Sparkler
spot of the week is May fromOklahoma City. She writes to us.
I started a new job and neededsomething to listen to for my longer comut
(08:07):
in. I like the quick storiesyou share, and I wanted to write
in to see if you might sayhi to me on one of these Mondays
while I'm driving Hi. Apparently,honey, hey girl, she says,
I'm a paralegal by day and I'mgoing to school at night for criminal justice.
Keep the murder ones coming, Diana, thank you all for keeping me
(08:28):
interested. I love it. Ithink May is gonna like my story today.
Nice you want to start things offthen? Yeah, an, then
let's get into storytime. I wroteone article today, plus I used Wikipedia
(08:54):
the article is allus all us interestingdot com. It was published May twenty
four, twenty twenty two, byAmy La Maru and checked by John Kurowski.
Okay, I'm gonna tell us thestory here of the Jamison family of
(09:16):
you falla Oklahoma. Oh, Iwas like Jamison Whiskey, But okay,
they're in Oklahoma and our Sparklers wasfrom Oklahoma. How fitting? Yeah,
it is fitting. Maybe may doesknow this story because it's you know,
home state. There you go.This is the story about Bobby Dale Jamison,
his wife Sherylyn, and their sixyear old daughter Madison. Do you
(09:39):
feel like anybody who's like a criminal, do we just put their middle name
in or are they always known bytheir their full name? Well, I
don't necessarily know, but I meanI do think that the middle name is
thrown in once somebody becomes a criminal. Although Bobby Dale, his dad's name
(10:01):
is Bobby Dean, so I thinkthat's just a family thing. I almost
wonder if it's just so that allthe people with the same first and last
name but a different middle name getsa break because they're like, that's not
me, you know, Yeah,that's fair. But then you have people
like Jeffrey Dahmer. I don't knowwhat the fuck his middle name is,
so and I don't care to.I also feel bad for the people that
are like, my name is MichaelJackson and you're like, damn, that's
(10:24):
for you, you know, orjust anybody famous where you're like, yeah,
you got that name, and everyone'sdisappointed when you show up to your
dinner reservation. The other ones yougot to feel bad for are the ones
that are like Tom Thompson or JackJackson, like why eric that? Yes?
And all the names like that's theone name you shouldn't have gone with,
(10:46):
and you did it, and youdid it all. You know,
if we have any listeners out therenamed, you know, Tom Thompson or
whatever and you like it, pleasewrite it. And I want to know.
I want to know. I thinkthere's like an Olympic volleyball player named
like Allen Allen or something like that. M hmm. Isn't there like an
American autot gun named Philip Phillips.Yeah, you're right, and didn't he
(11:09):
win fourteen hundreds of songs? Yeah? Anyway, that has nothing to do
with this story. It was anice little segue right there. But we're
going to segue it back. Oh, I didn't get a chance to tell
you that. Uh, Michael Keaton, you know, the actor. Yes,
a real name is Michael Douglas.He had to change it because there's
(11:31):
because Michael Douglas. Yeah, Keaton'scooler though. I think I think so
too. Yeah, I like thatnow, though there's anything wrong with Douglas.
I know a couple douglas is outthere. They're great, But Michael
Keaton, that's a cool fucking name. I think. I just don't like
Michael Douglas. I don't either,Yeah, and that's what's doing it.
I'm like his dad was cool though, fair fair point. Okay, Back
(11:54):
to Bobby Dale, Sherilyn and theirsix year old daughter, Madison, So
Madison six. Bobby was forty fourand Sherlyn was forty. Back in two
thousand and nine, everything was fine. The neighbors all thought everybody was normal
and living their you know, normaleveryday lives they were as a family.
We're looking to move from you Fallaw, Oklahoma. They're actually looking to move
(12:18):
about an hour south in Ladimir County, which is pretty close to Tulsa,
but currently you Falla is about eightythree miles south of Tulsa. Just so
we have our Ourbarians here. Buton October eighth, two thousand and nine,
the family mysteriously disappeared, the wholefamily. And the whole family mom,
(12:43):
dad, and the daughter. Yeah, so all three of them,
plus they're puppy. They had apuppy named Mazie. Oh goodness, now,
Mom, now I'm really invested.I well, yeah, so you
go missing. The family doesn't knowwhere to look, and it's eight days
later the police find their pickup truck. This pickup truck was found in Ladimer
(13:05):
County, which was very close towhere they had been looking to buy these
forty acres of land. And thefamily's not in there. The puppy was
in there. But it reminds youthis was eight days later. The puppy
miraculously lived. So I was happyto hear that. Yeah. Inside the
truck are the ideas of mom anddad, their wallets, their cell phones,
(13:28):
Sherilyn's purse was in there, andthirty two thousand dollars worth of cash
was also in the truck, whichboth the husband and wife were on a
disability at work. I don't knowfor what, but they were like when
the cops found this money. Theywere like, that's unusual for this family
(13:50):
to be holding that amount of cash. Right now, I don't know anything
about the area of Latimer County,but I guess from the articles that I've
been reading, it does say thatit is an area known for its drug
use, especially crystal meth. That'skind I guess meth. Yeah, yeah,
So some people have suspected that maybethey got involved with drugs, either
(14:15):
buying or selling, but we don'tknow. So multiple years go by,
and then on November sixteenth, twentythirteen, there are hunters in the same
area that their truck was found yearsprior. It's about three miles away from
where the truck was found. Theremains of two adults and one child.
The skeletal remains are found in thiswooded area where the hunters verse. So
(14:39):
they call the police, and thepolice come out and they immediately are like,
I remember that Jamison family. Andso they really take a look at
the bodies and they're like, well, we're gonna have to take it in
for DNA testing, but we're thinkingthat this might beat them. And the
male's head had the skull had likea big hole in it, and they
couldn't quite decipher what that hole wasfrom. It doesn't sound like there's any
(15:05):
bullet fragments, nor is there agun nearby. So to this day,
they still can't determine the cause ofdeath of any of the Jamisons. Ludgeon
of some kind sounds probably, yeah, I would think so, but again,
like the elements, I mean,you've been gone since two thousand and
nine. Their remains were positively identifiedin twenty fourteen as the Jamison family,
(15:30):
and so they've come up with sometheories. One was his dad, Bobby
Dean Jamison, had some issues withhis son and to a point where his
son was like, I'm gonna puta protective order on you, basically like
a restraining order on you, becauseI don't want you near me nor my
family. And this was going onaround the time that he went missing.
(15:52):
And so they're like, yeah,we think that Bobby Dean went after his
son and his family and just murderedthem all in the woods of this area.
But the brother of Bobby Dale waslike, there's no way, Like,
dad has his issues, for sure, but he was either in a
home at that time or at thehospital at the time that they went missing.
(16:15):
He's like, there's no way thatmy dad, he wouldn't even have
the capability of running somebody down andkilling the whole family either. So that's
one of the theories. So thenthere's a second theory out there that it's
drug related. They were either buyingor selling, they're guessing selling these drugs
and it was a drug deal gonewrong and the whole family ended up being
murdered. That's why the truck wasleft with items in there that you would
(16:37):
never just leave behind if you're goingto be leaving for a long period of
time. Why the dog was thousanddollars, Yeah, and the thirty two
thousand dollars. Another theory is thatthey belonged to a cult, and that's
what her mother, Sherry Lynn's motherthinks that they belonged to a cult,
though she's never been able to namea cult or any members of the cult
or why she thinks that her daughterand son in law belonged to this.
(17:00):
So that seems to be like nota great far fetched yeah, dead end
right there. The more interesting theoryto me, And maybe it's just because
it's hot October and it's the Halloweenseason, but just a few days before
the family went missing, both sherryLynn and Bobby Dale had gone up to
their reverend privately and separately and explainedto him that something was going on in
(17:26):
their home and they believed that therewere two or four ghosts living on their
rooftop and that they needed to getout of the house. And sherry Lynn
then was like, I bought aSatanic Bible, but I bought it as
a joke. Oh. But thenwhen Bobby Dale talked to his reverend,
he was like, yeah, mywife bought the Satanic Bible and I'm reading
(17:48):
it. And the final theory isthere was a fourteen page letter that sherry
Lynn had written to her husband abouthow troubled their marriage was and how bad
their relationship was, and so theythought either sherry Lynn was like, I
would like to take my handgun,which was also missing from the house and
(18:11):
never found, and kill my husband, my daughter, and myself, or
that Bobby Dale read the letter andthought the same thing his wife did and
was like, well, if shehates me in our relationship, that I'm
just going to end it all forall of us. And maybe that explains
the hole in his head. Butwhere is the gun? Yeah? So
(18:33):
there it is. I mean,this is this is literally the whole story.
There is no there's no answer towhat happened to them. We don't
know how they died. We don'tknow exactly when they died. We don't
know if this was the murder suicidethat people are talking about. It's awful,
what a awful scenario to be facedwith. I mean, this is
horrifying. It does sound like theywere probably tangled up in something that wasn't
(18:56):
great. I have to think sotoo. I just don't know why you
bring your daughter into it. Imean it's very strange, especially the fact
that the cash was still in thecar, because if somebody had come to
kill them, you think they wouldtake the cash. Yes, I think
it's like self induced somehow. ButI just don't know where that gun is.
Yeah, they were. The bodieswere all found together. This was
(19:17):
on an episode of Disappeared, whichairs on Netflix now. So, um,
if you're interested, you could alsolook that up. It's just brutal
when they kill the whole family.Oh yeah, a little kids, like
a six year old. Yeah,it's so awful, m so awful.
But I was very intrigued when Iread about it. And I was like,
I wanted to share it for sure. A parenting fail definitely constant your
(19:41):
statement. And I've got I've gota parenting fail online another one O.
Man. Yeah, Deb's trying desperatelyto I need to connect the two stories.
Man. It's a terrible story,and I'm going to connected to another
terrible story that's also about a parentingbail. Okay, okay, okay.
(20:03):
So this one comes to us fromthe huff Posts. It was published by
David moy or David Moyer. Idon't like goodness. I know, I
haven't heard from him in a while. I think he even has a sound
effect. We haven't used it ina while. Well, hot damn put
it in. This is published earlierthis month, in October of twenty twenty
(20:25):
two. I'm gonna file this oneunder two dumb dads from Florida. So
I'm gonna set us up here.This happened earlier in October. We're going
northbound towards Jacksonville on the Nassau County, Florida Highway. We have two men.
One is named William Joseph Hale.He's thirty five years old. He's
(20:47):
in a dodge ram and we haveFrank Gilliard Allison. He's forty three.
He's in a Nissan. So yougot these two idiots. They're driving along
and this is just a good reminderto us all And I know this is
a little mainstream, it's a littlemainstream for us, but I mean,
I just haven't heard it so perfect. So I am. I feel like
(21:10):
as I get older, I'm morecautious of everything going on around me.
Sure, And one of those thingsis really in the car when somebody is
aggressively driving and they're just like theycut you off or whatever it may be.
I feel like there's a part ofme it wants to be like,
yeah, piece of shit or whatever. But then I'm like no, no,
no, no, because you neverknow, you never know what's going
to happen. And these two idiotsare a great just example of that.
(21:34):
One of them cut the other oneoff. That is really just the culprit
of this, And I don't knowwhat it says about our society as a
whole. But they go along onthis cat and mouse chase down the highway
and they're speeding like crazy, they'realmost hitting cars, They're going all around
and they're pulling up next to eachother. They're yelling at each other,
(21:57):
and one thing leads to another,and this hail guy in the dodge Ram
who's thirty five, he gets outhis forty five caliber and shoots at this
Frank Allison's car, the Nissan.He shoots at it. Well, of
(22:18):
course, I don't know about you, but if somebody shot at my car,
I would literally just pull over andbe like, I'm out. I'm
done. I am not doing thisright, Like if I was foolish enough
to be going along in a catand mouse chase and somebody's yelling at me.
As soon as there's a gun,I'm out. I'm absolutely out.
But this idiot, he's like great, he of course he's packing two.
(22:40):
He gets his handgun out, firesthree bullets into this dodge Ram. So
people are calling the police left andright. They get they get pulled over.
Both of these morons were not alone. They each had a daughter in
the car with them. Oh mygod. So William Hale in the dodge
(23:02):
Ram he had a fourteen year olddaughter in the car with him, and
Frank Allison, being the fuck outhas a five year old daughter in the
car with him. Now, thereason why they should absolutely be freaking out.
Is that when Hale shot at theNissan, he shot a bullet into
the five year old daughter's leg,so she's bleeding, which I'm like,
(23:22):
how did you not pull over rightthen? And there? Yeah? I
oh my god, I gotta gether to the er something. No,
no, this idiot continues to goon and he shoots at the Dodge Ram
and the fourteen year old daughter wasshot in the lung and it collapsed her
lung. So then they pull overand they continue to fight, and there's
(23:42):
an ambulance that has to come.Obviously both of these girls live. But
how do you look at your dadto say? How did you look at
your Are they? I mean arethey married or dating? Like? If
I were the moms of those kids, oh yeah, lost my mind.
If I were the fourteen year old, I'd be like, officer, can
(24:03):
you contact Child's Protective Services for me? Yeah? Well, she was flipping
off the other drivers, so likethe Frank Allison when he was driving,
like he knew somebody was in thatpassenger seat because he could see this girl's
hand sticking out of the car flippinghim off. And I'm like, I
don't know, maybe it's like fatherlike daughter. Regardless she's fourteen, she
(24:23):
doesn't. She's just taken her cuesfrom her dumbass dad. Yeah. But
yeah, so they're they're going tospend some time in prison now, all
because somebody cut somebody off on afreeway. Well, it was gonna be
something, right, There was gonnabe the straw that broke the camel's back
for both of them. Yeah.They're a loose cannon to say the least.
(24:44):
And the reason this story appealed tome today is because my husband and
I went to go We never dothis, but we were like, you
know, it sounds really good.A donut but don't just sounded good.
So we made our coffees at ourhouse and we walked down to our local
little bakery. It's just like threeblocks away from our home. And when
we got there, there was aman yelling at a woman from his truck
(25:11):
and we were like, yeah,what's going on here? And there was
a bunch of people in this likethere's a whole bunch of little shops in
this area, so everyone's kind ofstanding around like what's going on? And
he was basically making a U turnon a very busy street. He kept
doing it to try to get thiswoman into his car, and no one
was really intervening, and everyone's like, oh, just know what's happening.
(25:32):
And it was like everyone he waslike. Everyone was just like did he
hit her? We're like no,So everyone just kind of like waiting for
this guy to hit this woman,to do anything. It was just with
his car, with his car,with his hand, like we don't know,
because he kept jumping out and thenjumping back in. It was very
weird. I hate that this washappening this close to my home. Anyway,
we ended up calling the police andwe stood way far away and we
(25:56):
were like hidden behind a whole bunchof cars because because of that very reason,
we were afraid that somebody might pulla gun. So we ended up
getting interviewed by the police today.As a whole, it was a great
way to start the day, letme tell you what. But wow,
what happened though to the woman?So yeah, the police ended up coming
to our home because we once thecops came, we were out of there.
I didn't want to stick around.I didn't know it was going to
(26:17):
go go down. They called usback and they were like, hey,
can we come by your home.So I'm like, oh, the neighbors
were probably like, what are thepolice showing up? But yeah, they
did arrest him, but they neededour testimony to see say, like,
what did you see happen? Yeah, he was clearly harassing her, but
they said you could tell that shewas afraid to say anything in like fear
(26:41):
of like maybe retaliation. I don'tknow, but yeah, it was.
It was a hot mess. AndI'm glad that we called. I think
we did the right thing. Butthat's it's just this weird rage and you
could tell it. This man wasjust he was livid and this woman was
just like she did didn't want toget in the car with him. She
was crying like it was just itwas really scary. It was really scary.
(27:06):
So then that happens. I'm lookingat articles in the morning for our
afternoon recording, and this one Iwas like, yeah, I don't know,
it just hit home with me today. And she was heading into the
donut shop. No, she wasjust I don't know where they were shed.
We just walked into the middle ofit. Ah. So yeah,
but he was he was like almosthitting cars, Everyone's honking, swerving to
(27:27):
get out of his way. Imean, he was definitely a liability just
to the public in general. Doyou think that she had been in the
car with him, yes, andthen gotten out. Yes. What I
was afraid of was that it wasa human trafficking situation. So when they
came to our house, we bothwere like, what happened to her?
(27:48):
And they said that she was ableto one of the There there were two
cars that came, so that shewas taken home and that the guy that
was harassing her was taken to thestation. Yeah, but if there's a
second car involved, did they justtake her back to the police car?
I don't know. I mean they'reoh, a second car car. I
(28:10):
thought you meant a second car involved. Okay, yes, but they took
her home. They took her home, yeah, but they took him to
the station. So but they werelike, we need more testimony, Like
what did you see? Oh Ihope that girl's okay? Yeah, me
too, me too. Well,I guess that leaves me I know,
(28:30):
sorry, good bring bring the moodback up. So this is a little
bit of history, a little bitof now comes to us from babel dot
com b a bb el. Okay, it's written by Lily Stephen on April
second, twenty nineteen, and itsays, what is Frisian and where is
(28:51):
it spoken? Have you guys everheard of Frisia or Frisian as a language?
No, I have no No.So back in like Roman times think
single number BC time frame, therewas an area called Frisio that first started
becoming settled in northern Europe all theway from the tip of the Netherlands up
into like Germany along the coast,and they spoke the Frisian language, which
(29:17):
evolved over time and with the Romanscoming in and taking over and just time
passing Frisian area, this Frisia brokeup into smaller segments and became kind of
encapsulated by these other cultures and countries. But there are still people today that
speak Friesian, and there are differentversions of the language. There's actually North
(29:38):
Frisian, East Region and West Frisian. Where do they live will they live
in the Netherlands in parts of Germany, So North Frisian is along the coastline
and islands of the far northwest ofGermany Frisian areas and the language is actually
most closely related to Old English.I don't know if you realize this,
but English and German are both Germaniclanguages and the very different. Yeah yeah,
(30:02):
yeah, very different. But itturns out that old Friesian and Old
English had a lot in common andthat relationship remains today and Friesian is English's
closest living relative at eighty percent lessiclesimilarity. And there is actually a video
made by Eddie Izzard, the comedian. Yeah, yeah, he actually knows
some old English, so he wantedto try out using his old English with
(30:23):
a Friesian farmer. I think he'sHe goes to the one that's in the
northern part of the Netherlands and he'sable to communicate a little bit with the
guy, but he sees that there'ssome distinct differences in some of the words.
But it's kind of cool because he'slike, he's literally using this ancient,
dead language to speak to this guywho speaks a language that's alive today.
Yeah, how many people speak thisthing? Like that's so crazy?
(30:47):
Yeah, so West Friesian is spokenby four hundred and seventy thousand people in
a thorne in the Netherlands. Ohwow, that's I mean quite a bit.
Yeah, it's way more than Iwas expecting. The East Stern Frisian
language is spoken by about two hundredthousand people in Germany, and then the
North Fregian is the one that onlyhas about ten thousand native speakers. That's
(31:07):
a that's a whole lot more thanthat. I thought, that's interesting.
I did not know about Frisia.Yeah, I have not either, Okay.
Yeah, so we've got a languagethat exists in hundreds of thousands of
people are actually speaking and we haveno idea who I've never even heard of
it, no clue. Yeah,and if you're one of those people who
you know, you read Beowulf andyou've studied Old English, you might actually
(31:29):
be able to use it somewhere.I did read Bao back in high school,
was not a big fan. Wellyou probably read it in modern English
too. Yeah, all right,So it's voting time. So I brought
my Jamison family Disappearance, and Ibrought the two stupid dads, my two
(31:49):
stupid dads, my two dumb dumbs. I brought my sort of Old English
is still alive through Friesian language isin Northern Europe. Somehow I feel like
mine is not going away. That'sokay, you know, I had read
DeBras already or I'd seen some articlesabout it, and so I I gotta
(32:14):
go with my Jamison family. Ijust I know it's a disappearance and there's
no solution or resolution, but i'dlike to I'd like to give it a
vote. Yeah, I'll have togo with the Jamison family as well.
Mine's a little mainstream, but Imean, after the morning, I had
for sure, for sure it's story, but it also hits a little too
close to home, like where youjust yeah, I hate the news today,
(32:37):
so very true, very true.You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna
go ahead and give myself a vote. This time, I liked it.
I was really intrigued by the factthat this was like a pocket of history
I had just completely overlooked. That'sfair. It isn't dreamy, yes,
yeah, well cool. No nostreaks going. But if you think you
can help us get that leg ofa turkey going, we want to hear
(32:57):

interest podcast dot com. We couldeven feature it on an episode. Love
it well. Thank you as alwaysfor listening. We appreciate you so much,
and until next week, we hopeyou all get sparked.
We are the ladies who sparked myinterest. It's so much fun because there's
this anonymity. You are a twinkie. I want to see Jesse use a
twinkie. Yeah. I have ahard time thinking about putting my lips to
that. Yeah, all right,Diana take it away. I thought water
could turn to wine, but metally. I had to have my allergen dose
(00:22):
reduced again for the trees. Yeah, they had to remix it entirely because
like I was at the lowest dosepossible for the particular mix of serum they
were giving me. And I've plumbagain, right, it's like a plumb
size mark on your arm. Well, I was getting systemic reactions. It
means my whole system, not justmy arms. Yea. Even though I
(00:43):
was only taking the smaller dose andit was causing some heart palpitations. That's
scary. So they're like, yeah, let's just reduce it and be safe.
And so I had to do thatbetter. Well they have. It
takes two weeks for them to mixit, so I don't get another one
until next week, so we'll giveit a shot. So it's like it's
(01:06):
such a process. Yeah, itreally those trees, man, and then
something picked up this week. Idon't know what was in the air,
but I definitely had a harder time, So I feel like it's worth a
shot anyway. And I even wentto like urgent care to get my heart
checked out and stuff, and they'relike, it's fine, it's just like
every now and then it misses abeat, and I'm like, my heart
thought, like, that doesn't seemright. It doesn't normally feel this way,
(01:26):
so I think it was the allergisI love it. They're, oh,
it's fine, just every once ina while, you're skipping a beat.
Like, no, that's problematic,that's terrifying. Does they I don't
like this me either. Well,you know, it's just your body's getting
introduced to these things that it doesn'tlike, and that's part of the training
if I have any hope of gettingover these awful allergies, which are probably
(01:48):
you know, because you don't wantto have allergies too that cause you to
inflammation all the time. It's notgood to be inflamed all the time,
so you want to tint it.So you get four shots of allergies,
two in each arm, right,that's right, always in the same location,
so that the one that's really affectingyou or the trees. Now I
know you're getting one for cats andone for dogs. Are those they're fine?
(02:08):
Your body might not become allergic tothose anymore. Like in terms of
just how it looks on my armsystemically, I don't really know what's happening,
but in terms of what it lookslike on my arm, the trees
or like like a little bit low, smaller than a plum size. In
terms of it's puffiness on my Onthe cats, it's maybe like a quarter,
and then dogs it's even smaller.So what you're telling us is that
(02:30):
you might be able to get acat in a future, I might be
able to visit you without needing azyrtech. But then your life will be
complete. And that is for youto come out here and not be sniffy
all the time because of the cats. I actually do all right, as
long as I take as zertech aheadof time. Yeah, I know,
(02:51):
but I don't like it that youhave to take that either totally. I
saw this TikTok trends about fighting inflammationin your body, and I don't know
anything about it. So this isjust me blurting out what I've heard on
TikTok. It could be total bullshit, but I want to look into it.
It's this idea of everyone should starttheir morning off drinking an eight ounce
(03:14):
glass of water with a teaspoon ofbaking soda in it. Does that taste
good like? It probably does it? It's probably not gonna taste good.
It's gonna better as all hell.It's like an antacid. It's it's a
basic but natural substance, and youcan take it if you have, you
know, stomach acid. I usedto do that sometimes. What's it taste
like? That's just kind of salty. And that's what you have to be
(03:36):
careful of is you don't drink toomuch of it because it's a high salt
content, So you don't want tolike over salinate yourself. I think I
already do that naturally. Just I'mlike, oh, so if you want
to adjust your pH the best thingyou can do is eat a lot of
green vegetables. Yeah, but I'mnot kind of into this baking soda thing.
I want to find I'm gonna lookinto it, and I'm like,
gonaive it. Do some research.Don't just don't just be like TikTok,
(03:57):
TikTok. It TikTok told me todo it. You guy told me to
do it. And you know howI feel ab the Tickety tick Talks.
I'm starting to feel like we soundlike a health podcast. However, we
are not. We are not,but we should be with two hypochondriacs on
it if you are listening to usfor the first time, we are the
Ladies of spark My Interest Podcast.My name is Diana, I'm Deborah,
(04:18):
I'm Jesse. And every week weget together. We gather articles that we
found online or in books or inmagazines, and we share them with one
another, and at the end ofevery episode we vote to see who had
the most spark Worthy article prize wemade TBD. At this point, we
don't care if we're just in itfor the glory of that win. And
I believe we all are bringing ittoday, damn straight, and we're gonna
(04:40):
start this shit out with us sparkme up right, Yes, right,
we sure are, And I broughtit all this day, October twenty fourth.
In eighteen sixty one, the firsttranscontinental telegraph system was completed by Western
Union that it made it possible totransmit messages rapidly and in quotation or in
(05:03):
brackets. It says by mid nineteenthcentury standards from coast to coast. So
this technological advance, pioneered by SamuelF. B. Morris, heralded the
end of the Pony Express. Whatwas the message? I know, I
don't know what the message was.This is like the Google search, was
it? Like you up and alsoup? Jesse's talking about a booty call.
(05:30):
We just go right by it.I'm sorry I missed it. I
was trying to give you my otherfun fact. And Jesse wants to talk
about a sex as always the first, the first booty call initiation, you
know me so. Also on thisday it is called the United Nations Day,
and that is because in a nineteenforty five that is the anniversary of
(05:54):
the founding of the United Nations onOctober twenty fourth, nineteen forty five.
Really, yeah, I didn't know. For some reason, I was thinking
United Nations was a bit younger thanI. I didn't know. I'm having
this memory of like Eleanor Roosevelt beinga big part of that as a core
memory for Jesse right there. SoI'm looking it up. Eleanor Roosevelt was
(06:15):
appointed in nineteen forty six as adelegate to the United Nations General Assembly by
United States President Harry S. Truman. Well, there you go. I'm
some fun facts. Everybody want tofeel a little bit smarter today, go
around telling everybody's United Nations day.You know what I saw, speaking of
dates, I saw a post onTwitter or something that was like, nineteen
(06:36):
seventy is as far away from twothousand and twenty two as it is to
nineteen eighteen. Now, what thefuck? Like? Who puts the stuff
together? Like? How feeling shit? Yes, it's like how in the
world? And I don't know.We weren't around in the seventies, but
we were close enough, and itjust feels like, wow, man,
(06:59):
I just feel old when I seethose kinds of things. A lot of
changes from nineteen eighteen to nineteen seventies, how many? I mean, I
guess there's a lot of changes fromthe seventies to now, but it feels
like disappointingly few. Like they thoughtcars, they thought we'd be like living
on Mars. All you have todo is go to Tomorrowland at Disneyland and
be like, yeah, we're abig disappointment. Yeah, yeah, I
(07:23):
think the jets are. It's like, I can't remember when the Jetsons take
place. It's like in twenty fiftyor whatever, and they realized that George
Jetson, the entitled asshole, wouldhave had millennial parents. Yeah, that's
not a kick to the cratch.I don't know what it is, but
as far as our immediate future isconcerned, I see a sparked me up
(07:46):
in our future. There you go, and I have it. Our Sparkler
spot of the week is May fromOklahoma City. She writes to us.
I started a new job and neededsomething to listen to for my longer comut
(08:07):
in. I like the quick storiesyou share, and I wanted to write
in to see if you might sayhi to me on one of these Mondays
while I'm driving Hi. Apparently,honey, hey girl, she says,
I'm a paralegal by day and I'mgoing to school at night for criminal justice.
Keep the murder ones coming, Diana, thank you all for keeping me
(08:28):
interested. I love it. Ithink May is gonna like my story today.
Nice you want to start things offthen? Yeah, an, then
let's get into storytime. I wroteone article today, plus I used Wikipedia
(08:54):
the article is allus all us interestingdot com. It was published May twenty
four, twenty twenty two, byAmy La Maru and checked by John Kurowski.
Okay, I'm gonna tell us thestory here of the Jamison family of
(09:16):
you falla Oklahoma. Oh, Iwas like Jamison Whiskey, But okay,
they're in Oklahoma and our Sparklers wasfrom Oklahoma. How fitting? Yeah,
it is fitting. Maybe may doesknow this story because it's you know,
home state. There you go.This is the story about Bobby Dale Jamison,
his wife Sherylyn, and their sixyear old daughter Madison. Do you
(09:39):
feel like anybody who's like a criminal, do we just put their middle name
in or are they always known bytheir their full name? Well, I
don't necessarily know, but I meanI do think that the middle name is
thrown in once somebody becomes a criminal. Although Bobby Dale, his dad's name
(10:01):
is Bobby Dean, so I thinkthat's just a family thing. I almost
wonder if it's just so that allthe people with the same first and last
name but a different middle name getsa break because they're like, that's not
me, you know, Yeah,that's fair. But then you have people
like Jeffrey Dahmer. I don't knowwhat the fuck his middle name is,
so and I don't care to.I also feel bad for the people that
are like, my name is MichaelJackson and you're like, damn, that's
(10:24):
for you, you know, orjust anybody famous where you're like, yeah,
you got that name, and everyone'sdisappointed when you show up to your
dinner reservation. The other ones yougot to feel bad for are the ones
that are like Tom Thompson or JackJackson, like why eric that? Yes?
And all the names like that's theone name you shouldn't have gone with,
(10:46):
and you did it, and youdid it all. You know,
if we have any listeners out therenamed, you know, Tom Thompson or
whatever and you like it, pleasewrite it. And I want to know.
I want to know. I thinkthere's like an Olympic volleyball player named
like Allen Allen or something like that. M hmm. Isn't there like an
American autot gun named Philip Phillips.Yeah, you're right, and didn't he
(11:09):
win fourteen hundreds of songs? Yeah? Anyway, that has nothing to do
with this story. It was anice little segue right there. But we're
going to segue it back. Oh, I didn't get a chance to tell
you that. Uh, Michael Keaton, you know, the actor. Yes,
a real name is Michael Douglas.He had to change it because there's
(11:31):
because Michael Douglas. Yeah, Keaton'scooler though. I think I think so
too. Yeah, I like thatnow, though there's anything wrong with Douglas.
I know a couple douglas is outthere. They're great, But Michael
Keaton, that's a cool fucking name. I think. I just don't like
Michael Douglas. I don't either,Yeah, and that's what's doing it.
I'm like his dad was cool though, fair fair point. Okay, Back
(11:54):
to Bobby Dale, Sherilyn and theirsix year old daughter, Madison, So
Madison six. Bobby was forty fourand Sherlyn was forty. Back in two
thousand and nine, everything was fine. The neighbors all thought everybody was normal
and living their you know, normaleveryday lives they were as a family.
We're looking to move from you Fallaw, Oklahoma. They're actually looking to move
(12:18):
about an hour south in Ladimir County, which is pretty close to Tulsa,
but currently you Falla is about eightythree miles south of Tulsa. Just so
we have our Ourbarians here. Buton October eighth, two thousand and nine,
the family mysteriously disappeared, the wholefamily. And the whole family mom,
(12:43):
dad, and the daughter. Yeah, so all three of them,
plus they're puppy. They had apuppy named Mazie. Oh goodness, now,
Mom, now I'm really invested.I well, yeah, so you
go missing. The family doesn't knowwhere to look, and it's eight days
later the police find their pickup truck. This pickup truck was found in Ladimer
(13:05):
County, which was very close towhere they had been looking to buy these
forty acres of land. And thefamily's not in there. The puppy was
in there. But it reminds youthis was eight days later. The puppy
miraculously lived. So I was happyto hear that. Yeah. Inside the
truck are the ideas of mom anddad, their wallets, their cell phones,
(13:28):
Sherilyn's purse was in there, andthirty two thousand dollars worth of cash
was also in the truck, whichboth the husband and wife were on a
disability at work. I don't knowfor what, but they were like when
the cops found this money. Theywere like, that's unusual for this family
(13:50):
to be holding that amount of cash. Right now, I don't know anything
about the area of Latimer County,but I guess from the articles that I've
been reading, it does say thatit is an area known for its drug
use, especially crystal meth. That'skind I guess meth. Yeah, yeah,
So some people have suspected that maybethey got involved with drugs, either
(14:15):
buying or selling, but we don'tknow. So multiple years go by,
and then on November sixteenth, twentythirteen, there are hunters in the same
area that their truck was found yearsprior. It's about three miles away from
where the truck was found. Theremains of two adults and one child.
The skeletal remains are found in thiswooded area where the hunters verse. So
(14:39):
they call the police, and thepolice come out and they immediately are like,
I remember that Jamison family. Andso they really take a look at
the bodies and they're like, well, we're gonna have to take it in
for DNA testing, but we're thinkingthat this might beat them. And the
male's head had the skull had likea big hole in it, and they
couldn't quite decipher what that hole wasfrom. It doesn't sound like there's any
(15:05):
bullet fragments, nor is there agun nearby. So to this day,
they still can't determine the cause ofdeath of any of the Jamisons. Ludgeon
of some kind sounds probably, yeah, I would think so, but again,
like the elements, I mean,you've been gone since two thousand and
nine. Their remains were positively identifiedin twenty fourteen as the Jamison family,
(15:30):
and so they've come up with sometheories. One was his dad, Bobby
Dean Jamison, had some issues withhis son and to a point where his
son was like, I'm gonna puta protective order on you, basically like
a restraining order on you, becauseI don't want you near me nor my
family. And this was going onaround the time that he went missing.
(15:52):
And so they're like, yeah,we think that Bobby Dean went after his
son and his family and just murderedthem all in the woods of this area.
But the brother of Bobby Dale waslike, there's no way, Like,
dad has his issues, for sure, but he was either in a
home at that time or at thehospital at the time that they went missing.
(16:15):
He's like, there's no way thatmy dad, he wouldn't even have
the capability of running somebody down andkilling the whole family either. So that's
one of the theories. So thenthere's a second theory out there that it's
drug related. They were either buyingor selling, they're guessing selling these drugs
and it was a drug deal gonewrong and the whole family ended up being
murdered. That's why the truck wasleft with items in there that you would
(16:37):
never just leave behind if you're goingto be leaving for a long period of
time. Why the dog was thousanddollars, Yeah, and the thirty two
thousand dollars. Another theory is thatthey belonged to a cult, and that's
what her mother, Sherry Lynn's motherthinks that they belonged to a cult,
though she's never been able to namea cult or any members of the cult
or why she thinks that her daughterand son in law belonged to this.
(17:00):
So that seems to be like nota great far fetched yeah, dead end
right there. The more interesting theoryto me, And maybe it's just because
it's hot October and it's the Halloweenseason, but just a few days before
the family went missing, both sherryLynn and Bobby Dale had gone up to
their reverend privately and separately and explainedto him that something was going on in
(17:26):
their home and they believed that therewere two or four ghosts living on their
rooftop and that they needed to getout of the house. And sherry Lynn
then was like, I bought aSatanic Bible, but I bought it as
a joke. Oh. But thenwhen Bobby Dale talked to his reverend,
he was like, yeah, mywife bought the Satanic Bible and I'm reading
(17:48):
it. And the final theory isthere was a fourteen page letter that sherry
Lynn had written to her husband abouthow troubled their marriage was and how bad
their relationship was, and so theythought either sherry Lynn was like, I
would like to take my handgun,which was also missing from the house and
(18:11):
never found, and kill my husband, my daughter, and myself, or
that Bobby Dale read the letter andthought the same thing his wife did and
was like, well, if shehates me in our relationship, that I'm
just going to end it all forall of us. And maybe that explains
the hole in his head. Butwhere is the gun? Yeah? So
(18:33):
there it is. I mean,this is this is literally the whole story.
There is no there's no answer towhat happened to them. We don't
know how they died. We don'tknow exactly when they died. We don't
know if this was the murder suicidethat people are talking about. It's awful,
what a awful scenario to be facedwith. I mean, this is
horrifying. It does sound like theywere probably tangled up in something that wasn't
(18:56):
great. I have to think sotoo. I just don't know why you
bring your daughter into it. Imean it's very strange, especially the fact
that the cash was still in thecar, because if somebody had come to
kill them, you think they wouldtake the cash. Yes, I think
it's like self induced somehow. ButI just don't know where that gun is.
Yeah, they were. The bodieswere all found together. This was
(19:17):
on an episode of Disappeared, whichairs on Netflix now. So, um,
if you're interested, you could alsolook that up. It's just brutal
when they kill the whole family.Oh yeah, a little kids, like
a six year old. Yeah,it's so awful, m so awful.
But I was very intrigued when Iread about it. And I was like,
I wanted to share it for sure. A parenting fail definitely constant your
(19:41):
statement. And I've got I've gota parenting fail online another one O.
Man. Yeah, Deb's trying desperatelyto I need to connect the two stories.
Man. It's a terrible story,and I'm going to connected to another
terrible story that's also about a parentingbail. Okay, okay, okay.
(20:03):
So this one comes to us fromthe huff Posts. It was published by
David moy or David Moyer. Idon't like goodness. I know, I
haven't heard from him in a while. I think he even has a sound
effect. We haven't used it ina while. Well, hot damn put
it in. This is published earlierthis month, in October of twenty twenty
(20:25):
two. I'm gonna file this oneunder two dumb dads from Florida. So
I'm gonna set us up here.This happened earlier in October. We're going
northbound towards Jacksonville on the Nassau County, Florida Highway. We have two men.
One is named William Joseph Hale.He's thirty five years old. He's
(20:47):
in a dodge ram and we haveFrank Gilliard Allison. He's forty three.
He's in a Nissan. So yougot these two idiots. They're driving along
and this is just a good reminderto us all And I know this is
a little mainstream, it's a littlemainstream for us, but I mean,
I just haven't heard it so perfect. So I am. I feel like
(21:10):
as I get older, I'm morecautious of everything going on around me.
Sure, And one of those thingsis really in the car when somebody is
aggressively driving and they're just like theycut you off or whatever it may be.
I feel like there's a part ofme it wants to be like,
yeah, piece of shit or whatever. But then I'm like no, no,
no, no, because you neverknow, you never know what's going
to happen. And these two idiotsare a great just example of that.
(21:34):
One of them cut the other oneoff. That is really just the culprit
of this, And I don't knowwhat it says about our society as a
whole. But they go along onthis cat and mouse chase down the highway
and they're speeding like crazy, they'realmost hitting cars, They're going all around
and they're pulling up next to eachother. They're yelling at each other,
(21:57):
and one thing leads to another,and this hail guy in the dodge Ram
who's thirty five, he gets outhis forty five caliber and shoots at this
Frank Allison's car, the Nissan.He shoots at it. Well, of
(22:18):
course, I don't know about you, but if somebody shot at my car,
I would literally just pull over andbe like, I'm out. I'm
done. I am not doing thisright, Like if I was foolish enough
to be going along in a catand mouse chase and somebody's yelling at me.
As soon as there's a gun,I'm out. I'm absolutely out.
But this idiot, he's like great, he of course he's packing two.
(22:40):
He gets his handgun out, firesthree bullets into this dodge Ram. So
people are calling the police left andright. They get they get pulled over.
Both of these morons were not alone. They each had a daughter in
the car with them. Oh mygod. So William Hale in the dodge
(23:02):
Ram he had a fourteen year olddaughter in the car with him, and
Frank Allison, being the fuck outhas a five year old daughter in the
car with him. Now, thereason why they should absolutely be freaking out.
Is that when Hale shot at theNissan, he shot a bullet into
the five year old daughter's leg,so she's bleeding, which I'm like,
(23:22):
how did you not pull over rightthen? And there? Yeah? I
oh my god, I gotta gether to the er something. No,
no, this idiot continues to goon and he shoots at the Dodge Ram
and the fourteen year old daughter wasshot in the lung and it collapsed her
lung. So then they pull overand they continue to fight, and there's
(23:42):
an ambulance that has to come.Obviously both of these girls live. But
how do you look at your dadto say? How did you look at
your Are they? I mean arethey married or dating? Like? If
I were the moms of those kids, oh yeah, lost my mind.
If I were the fourteen year old, I'd be like, officer, can
(24:03):
you contact Child's Protective Services for me? Yeah? Well, she was flipping
off the other drivers, so likethe Frank Allison when he was driving,
like he knew somebody was in thatpassenger seat because he could see this girl's
hand sticking out of the car flippinghim off. And I'm like, I
don't know, maybe it's like fatherlike daughter. Regardless she's fourteen, she
(24:23):
doesn't. She's just taken her cuesfrom her dumbass dad. Yeah. But
yeah, so they're they're going tospend some time in prison now, all
because somebody cut somebody off on afreeway. Well, it was gonna be
something, right, There was gonnabe the straw that broke the camel's back
for both of them. Yeah.They're a loose cannon to say the least.
(24:44):
And the reason this story appealed tome today is because my husband and
I went to go We never dothis, but we were like, you
know, it sounds really good.A donut but don't just sounded good.
So we made our coffees at ourhouse and we walked down to our local
little bakery. It's just like threeblocks away from our home. And when
we got there, there was aman yelling at a woman from his truck
(25:11):
and we were like, yeah,what's going on here? And there was
a bunch of people in this likethere's a whole bunch of little shops in
this area, so everyone's kind ofstanding around like what's going on? And
he was basically making a U turnon a very busy street. He kept
doing it to try to get thiswoman into his car, and no one
was really intervening, and everyone's like, oh, just know what's happening.
(25:32):
And it was like everyone he waslike. Everyone was just like did he
hit her? We're like no,So everyone just kind of like waiting for
this guy to hit this woman,to do anything. It was just with
his car, with his car,with his hand, like we don't know,
because he kept jumping out and thenjumping back in. It was very
weird. I hate that this washappening this close to my home. Anyway,
we ended up calling the police andwe stood way far away and we
(25:56):
were like hidden behind a whole bunchof cars because because of that very reason,
we were afraid that somebody might pulla gun. So we ended up
getting interviewed by the police today.As a whole, it was a great
way to start the day, letme tell you what. But wow,
what happened though to the woman?So yeah, the police ended up coming
to our home because we once thecops came, we were out of there.
I didn't want to stick around.I didn't know it was going to
(26:17):
go go down. They called usback and they were like, hey,
can we come by your home.So I'm like, oh, the neighbors
were probably like, what are thepolice showing up? But yeah, they
did arrest him, but they neededour testimony to see say, like,
what did you see happen? Yeah, he was clearly harassing her, but
they said you could tell that shewas afraid to say anything in like fear
(26:41):
of like maybe retaliation. I don'tknow, but yeah, it was.
It was a hot mess. AndI'm glad that we called. I think
we did the right thing. Butthat's it's just this weird rage and you
could tell it. This man wasjust he was livid and this woman was
just like she did didn't want toget in the car with him. She
was crying like it was just itwas really scary. It was really scary.
(27:06):
So then that happens. I'm lookingat articles in the morning for our
afternoon recording, and this one Iwas like, yeah, I don't know,
it just hit home with me today. And she was heading into the
donut shop. No, she wasjust I don't know where they were shed.
We just walked into the middle ofit. Ah. So yeah,
but he was he was like almosthitting cars, Everyone's honking, swerving to
(27:27):
get out of his way. Imean, he was definitely a liability just
to the public in general. Doyou think that she had been in the
car with him, yes, andthen gotten out. Yes. What I
was afraid of was that it wasa human trafficking situation. So when they
came to our house, we bothwere like, what happened to her?
(27:48):
And they said that she was ableto one of the There there were two
cars that came, so that shewas taken home and that the guy that
was harassing her was taken to thestation. Yeah, but if there's a
second car involved, did they justtake her back to the police car?
I don't know. I mean they'reoh, a second car car. I
(28:10):
thought you meant a second car involved. Okay, yes, but they took
her home. They took her home, yeah, but they took him to
the station. So but they werelike, we need more testimony, Like
what did you see? Oh Ihope that girl's okay? Yeah, me
too, me too. Well,I guess that leaves me I know,
(28:30):
sorry, good bring bring the moodback up. So this is a little
bit of history, a little bitof now comes to us from babel dot
com b a bb el. Okay, it's written by Lily Stephen on April
second, twenty nineteen, and itsays, what is Frisian and where is
(28:51):
it spoken? Have you guys everheard of Frisia or Frisian as a language?
No, I have no No.So back in like Roman times think
single number BC time frame, therewas an area called Frisio that first started
becoming settled in northern Europe all theway from the tip of the Netherlands up
into like Germany along the coast,and they spoke the Frisian language, which
(29:17):
evolved over time and with the Romanscoming in and taking over and just time
passing Frisian area, this Frisia brokeup into smaller segments and became kind of
encapsulated by these other cultures and countries. But there are still people today that
speak Friesian, and there are differentversions of the language. There's actually North
(29:38):
Frisian, East Region and West Frisian. Where do they live will they live
in the Netherlands in parts of Germany, So North Frisian is along the coastline
and islands of the far northwest ofGermany Frisian areas and the language is actually
most closely related to Old English.I don't know if you realize this,
but English and German are both Germaniclanguages and the very different. Yeah yeah,
(30:02):
yeah, very different. But itturns out that old Friesian and Old
English had a lot in common andthat relationship remains today and Friesian is English's
closest living relative at eighty percent lessiclesimilarity. And there is actually a video
made by Eddie Izzard, the comedian. Yeah, yeah, he actually knows
some old English, so he wantedto try out using his old English with
(30:23):
a Friesian farmer. I think he'sHe goes to the one that's in the
northern part of the Netherlands and he'sable to communicate a little bit with the
guy, but he sees that there'ssome distinct differences in some of the words.
But it's kind of cool because he'slike, he's literally using this ancient,
dead language to speak to this guywho speaks a language that's alive today.
Yeah, how many people speak thisthing? Like that's so crazy?
(30:47):
Yeah, so West Friesian is spokenby four hundred and seventy thousand people in
a thorne in the Netherlands. Ohwow, that's I mean quite a bit.
Yeah, it's way more than Iwas expecting. The East Stern Frisian
language is spoken by about two hundredthousand people in Germany, and then the
North Fregian is the one that onlyhas about ten thousand native speakers. That's
(31:07):
a that's a whole lot more thanthat. I thought, that's interesting.
I did not know about Frisia.Yeah, I have not either, Okay.
Yeah, so we've got a languagethat exists in hundreds of thousands of
people are actually speaking and we haveno idea who I've never even heard of
it, no clue. Yeah,and if you're one of those people who
you know, you read Beowulf andyou've studied Old English, you might actually
(31:29):
be able to use it somewhere.I did read Bao back in high school,
was not a big fan. Wellyou probably read it in modern English
too. Yeah, all right,So it's voting time. So I brought
my Jamison family Disappearance, and Ibrought the two stupid dads, my two
(31:49):
stupid dads, my two dumb dumbs. I brought my sort of Old English
is still alive through Friesian language isin Northern Europe. Somehow I feel like
mine is not going away. That'sokay, you know, I had read
DeBras already or I'd seen some articlesabout it, and so I I gotta
(32:14):
go with my Jamison family. Ijust I know it's a disappearance and there's
no solution or resolution, but i'dlike to I'd like to give it a
vote. Yeah, I'll have togo with the Jamison family as well.
Mine's a little mainstream, but Imean, after the morning, I had
for sure, for sure it's story, but it also hits a little too
close to home, like where youjust yeah, I hate the news today,
(32:37):
so very true, very true.You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna
go ahead and give myself a vote. This time, I liked it.
I was really intrigued by the factthat this was like a pocket of history
I had just completely overlooked. That'sfair. It isn't dreamy, yes,
yeah, well cool. No nostreaks going. But if you think you
