(01:40):
lurking. He is very he's staringawkwardly. So, as our friends know,
we did the Terrified and tips Dhorror movie stuff, right. We
did YouTube videos which we had abunch of fun with. We still have
him up, go watch him andyou need a couple of true crime stuff
too. We did have variety,right, We were like a Chex mixed

(02:01):
bowl, you know, basically,but except for the checks, I don't
like that part. I like thelittle bagel chips and the pretzels of course,
like the breadsticks, all of those. I'm like, you know what,
I like the munchies, the cheesyones with like the doritos. Yes,
and they got a little bit ofpretzels in there. It's usually got

(02:22):
a little too much pretzel. Butthat's okay with it. Okay, So
we are that what's it called,not cheesy checks mix? What's it called
munchies? Munchies? That feels appropriate. I love it. So we decided
to try something new, and nowwe have our third wheel, Dustin with
us. Yeah. You know,he's been trying for the last four years

(02:44):
to try to get up with usand now here. I sure you don't
want a trio? Can we makethis anything? I'll say whatever, I
don't get give me a shot.I'll put myself jokes them all. So
we have a new format, andDustin, do you want to share with

be a lot of fun. It'sgonna be wild. That's nothing else.

(03:07):
Yeah, unhinged. Yeah, soit feels right for us, though,
right, I feel like it goesoff, you know, unhinged. Anyways,
we basically were doing their terrifying tipsyand there was chaos, and then
we did YouTube and it was justcrazy and then we were like bring the
chaos back, and Dustin's like,wait, bitches a guy. So here's
what I was thinking we could do. So you guys don't know, but

(03:28):
I've researched three topics that are interestingto say the least that when I was
reading them, I couldn't believe theywere real, to the point where I
had to complete more research on themto determine if they're real or not.
Okay, so I have three thingshere that are so unreal I had to
double and triple check to make surethat they're real. And so you found

(03:50):
like websites to like verify this,Yeah, exactly. So these are true
facts about different things, random things. And so what I'm going to do.
I have three topics. I'm goingto read sort of a teaser title
to you for each one of them, and then you guys get to decide
whether it's topic one, two,or three that you want to hear.

(04:12):
I'll give you more information on itand then set you guys free talking about
it, okay, and we don'thave opinions? What are you talking about?
Definitely not if you have more informationand I've got some more information,
and I'll give you as much asI can. And once we're finished with
that, we'll do another topic andthen we'll take a nap, and then
we'll take and then everyone will haveto lay down and take a nap.

(04:35):
But whatever topic is left, thethird topic that you don't choose goes to
next week and we just see ifwe can eventually get that. You know
what, maybe it will never bepicked as possible. Maybe I don't know,
but now I feel bad for thattopic. Well, it survives the
gauntlet, the track line. Imean, come on, if it had

(04:59):
not, everybody be chosen. Wedon't give We don't everyone in four years

(06:38):
John Cummings terrible, horrible, nogood, very bad, swallowing habits.
Yeah, okay, hold it together, we're just hearing together, okay.

(07:00):
Three, even though John Cummings isvery already and he's swallowing issues with
it all right. He lost,he lost me. Okay, I'm back

(07:20):

like we have to give it's likeasking for us to talk about it.

(07:41):
I need to learn more about JohnCummings in his swallowing habits, his terrible,
horrible, no good, very badswallowing him. Oh I'm sorry,
isn't that what with that disease thatwe wait a minute, you swallow the
things that are pickup the movie swallowthat you did. Yeah, but there's
that disease, the pika pika picatake anyway, we know you never know,

(08:05):
all right, you ready, yes, okay, let me know if
you need more information after you hearthis. I'm sure, I'm sure.
Up questions. John Cummings, theDaredevil Sailor, tragically met his end after
a wild spree of swallowing over thirtyfive knives during drunken bets at one time.

(08:26):
No, okay, so he's acellar, and I would assume that
he's not swallowing knives while at sea. That's not even more danger especially it's
rough, absolute like he's back intown. Oh god, oh no,
here's my thought, here's how itplays I got a whole thing I can
reach. Here's how it plays outin my head immediately, Okay, okay.

(08:46):
John Cummings lives in let's say Massachu'sin the cake somewhere where there's got
a lot of fishermen, a lotof Yeah, so he's a sailor.
He goes out fishing whenever he comesback to the cape, and then he's
like, I need a drink twelveand then he goes to a bar wh's
like a dive bar of course,right, Like it's just really it's like
bo people pass out and then wakeup there in the morning and stay there

(09:09):
the next day, like they don'tleave, right, It's terrible and stinky,
right, But John Commings is aregular. So when he gets so
drunk, he's like, hey,guys, check out my trick, and
everyondy's like, John, stop,it's been decades were and it's probably it's
a little dangerous. Yeah, yourthroat's getting red. He's got you's got
like hot drinks in you. It'slike what if you like move the knife
and it's just and then also you'rejunks, You're like you're not see anywhere.

(09:31):
John get it together. You know, you have we have sea legs?
Does that? Does that translate tothe land. Maybe his legs are
very stiff at the scene, butvery wildly on the land. Bring me
back to the ocean. So it'smad unless oh, he has like sailing

(10:01):
buddies that they go out to seeand then after they're like fishing all day
doing all this crazy crazy crab andcrap. I don't know what that crazy
crazy crab and crap, crab andcrap. I know nothing about fishing,
crazy crab and crack. What ifit was like a drunken bit and they're
all just like drinking on the boatand he's like he's doing what one more

(10:22):
time? I wish you could seethis. I wish ye is where it's
at. They could be taken ina very different direction. I feel like
it's really the only one would take. I mean, you didn't think this
was nice for God's sake? Nice? Valid? Okay, Cordy, what's

(10:45):
your theory, minor fool proof?No, I'm gonna go with yours.
Okay, Yeah, I feel like, Okay, for one thing, his
name is very unfortunate. Can wejust can we just go there? I
mean, for someone who has weirdswallowing habits. Yes, I mean the
whole topic itself, the whole Yeah, of course add had been better unless
this last name was like Cox orsomething or like Nope, that's grosser.

(11:15):
I'm moving on, moving on.Okay, I have nothing, I have
nothing. I think she covered it, really, I think I give us
more information. All right, SoI got a little bit to read here,
So prepares love. If you wantto cut in, you can cut
in. Okay, Okay, Ilike stories seventeen ninety nine. Okay,
they thinks he's some fun music inthe background, you know, is he
gonna are we starting like when he'slike five? Is that where this starts

(11:39):
from? When he was first born? Wait? What year did you say?
Seventeen ninety nine? Oh my god? Stop? So he was a
pirate. That's the only reasonable thingis a pirate? Yeah? Maybe I
just got immediately enraged hearing seventeen ninetynine, Like, it just feels fucking
stupid now, but I guess they'rebored. What else are you going to

(12:01):
do in seventeen ninety nine? Youwill? Yeah, I feel like there
needs to make more context. Wance, We're probably gonna get god now,
I's free. That's the whole thingis seventeen ninety nine, Darry, That's
it, God damn it, JohnCommings, all right, pick you next
topic? All right, ready,yes, in seventeen ninety nine, John
Cummings a twenty three year old Americansailor, twenty three. He's an idiot,

(12:26):
he should say, yet about seventeenninety nine years right, how much
do you age? And that he'sprobably like fifty years old, and current
times he would just wanted a partylike it was seventeen ninety nine. Honestly,
Johnny Cummings, you know he's alwaysgot his party tricks, all right.
So twenty three, okay, sawa Frenchman pretending to swallow knives at

(12:48):
a show in France. How dowant to pretend to swallow a knife?
So I read about that? Goodquestion? Okay, So what he would
do is it's like a slide ofhand thing where he would have the knife,
pocket knife or whatever kind of likeyou know how you like not that
that's different that it's like multiple inhis mouth. He would like, I

(13:09):
guess, like drop it in hismouth, but it would actually go like
in his shirt sleeve or something likeit was tractable one or something. They
were attracted whatever you say, steampowered, I don't know. Anyway,
space always burn. So he seesa Frenchman pretending to swallow knives at a

(13:30):
show in France. He's impressed.He's a little bit drunk, so he
decided to try it himself. He'scompletely fooled at this point, thinking that
this guy is actually swallowing these knives, right, But also Johnny's an idiot
to think like, oh, anybodycan do that. Johnny's not an amateur.
Google it just google asks. Imean, you could just ask somebody.

(13:50):
Yeah, okay. So he decidesto speak his language. Oh yeah,
he is in France, see yeah, and the problem that comes is
not from French. No, he'san American sales Oh what that name is
not French anyway, but also sirate. Yeah right, an American pirate.
Right, that's right, of course. So he's the abilitiyon press. He's

(14:11):
a little bit drunk, well,and he's convinced that this guy's swallowing knives.
God, you know, so hedecides to try it himself. He
swallowed his It says pen knife,which I think is like a maybe like
a small knife, pin pen knifelike a tiny like a like a pick
pin or pen like pen like ayeah, maybe like like like a Swiss

(14:33):
army knife kind of thing. Maybethey have those in seventeen ninety three.
Yeah, yeah, it was massive, all right. So he swallowed his
pen knife and then he swallowed threemore knives at the wait a second,
he like completely like globe, Yeah, so what happened. So what happened

(14:54):
was he he goes back to hisfriends and says, I can swallow knives
because he saw this other guy doit. Right, So they're back on
the boat. He swallows a knife. They're like, that was really impressive
that I've never seen anybody do thatbefore. He just swallows it. Yeah,
I mean it coming out would bevery impressive. I get to that,
my gosh. Okay, So theysay that was incredible. Can you

(15:18):
do it again? And he says, go get me as many knives as
you can find. So they findthree more knives and they come back.
You know, so in the samenight, he swallows four entire knives down
his throat into his stomach. Howdoes not like slice it up in your
throat on the way down his gagreflexes, I mean first trying. Honestly,
John Cummings, first try, Imean maybe first try. I don't

(15:43):
know. Oh, we just knowup to seventeen ninety nine and beyond we
don't know what. We don't knowthe first twenty three years of his right,
he's a very busy darn coming.I really like it, I think
so. I mean, he justwent for think about that. He was.
He has a lot of pro courage, I would say. Some would
say sometimes I have a hard timeswallowing the tail and all, okay,

(16:03):
if I'm sick, like for waita minute, yeah, if I'm sick
or something, I have a question. So he actually swallowed the knife?
Where have you? No? ButI'm not like my no, no,
not like as I got to afterthat, not like Ripley's or knife one.
I was like, wait a second, like all the way I was
thinking like the sword people, Yeah, no, no, no, Apparently

(16:26):
he went gulp and it's like inhis belly. No way, that's not
possible. And I'm saying, you'rein your throat the whole time. Your
intestines wouldn't be able to pass thateven just swelling your whole throat. You're
esophagus reading multiple sources. Wait aminute, I had to pay fifteen hundred
dollars to get something dug out ofmy my dog's stomach. Because with the

(16:48):
fifty dollars, I'm very intrigued.I'm just saying, there's no way,
especially especially in seventeen forty five whateverit was, Yes, especially thirty two.
He's fourteen, fourteen, thirty fiveor three okay anyway, sorry,
So his shipmates were very a musicto buy this trick because he's an idiot.

(17:11):
Later on the next day, boy, he pooped one of them out.
No, no way, are youkidding? Bullsh No, there is
no no way way. You knowwhat. I'll even give him a golf
pencil like my picture that and ourbrains are everybody knows that a golf pencil
is right. Suck this, JohnnyCummings. Yeah, he just swallows it.

(17:33):
And your testings are all like twisted. No, you're well, and
you're trying to tell me this golfpencil that's not true. That's lie.
I thought so too. I thoughtso too. I looked it up.
I need a doctor on here.I need to hear a doctor doctor ring
ring. We did not comment below. If you believe this particular story.
No shit, there's no way,there's no way, no way. Well

(17:56):
there's more. God, I'm amya golf pencil, baby, but come
on, you picture that going throughyour tests, just short of wood.
No, so tear up your bottle. Yes it would, That is true,
saying no kid coming. No,you're good. It's just hard to

(18:22):
recover from it. I just neverknow you get back from this. I
don't know. Okay, back sixyears later in eighteen o five. Oh
so he poop went out and thenit for six years. No, no,
no, and then he ended uppooping all four out. But like
over of course. Yeah, Ihave a picture of them in fourteen s
No the of the I think,yeah, I think I saw somewhere that

(18:47):
there is a museum you can goto and see his poop. Yeah,
that's there. They're making they're makinga ton of money. Yeah. It
was six years later in eighteen ohfive, Cummings was in Boston. So
he's back home. Hey, Icalled Massachusetts's did okay? That's where the

(19:08):
pirates go? Yeah? Do theylive? The Irish pirates? And once
again, while drinking with other sailors, he bragged about his knife swallowing skills
saying I once swallowed four knives andlater pooped them out successfully, successfully And
I'm still because he's still here allegedly. Okay, would you do that though

(19:32):
without a doctor? Like, there'sno way, and Johnny comings to mad
thing? What are you bringing up? This is a lot hundred The doctors
didn't help anyway, they were notgoing to be useful. And if you
want a doctor, cocaine, takethe edge off in a slice, jarmount,
you bleed out, Let's figure itout. Cocaine and leeches. Here,
swallow a knife and blood. Leta little mines. Fine, here's

(19:56):
some lead with the wall. Allright, guests, ready to get you,
ready to get sent sailing? Ohgod? He bragged about his knife
swallowing skills. He ended up swallowingfourteen knives that day. How big are
these knives? I don't know,like three inches. You're just making shit

(20:17):
up? Does it say a picture? Head? I'm still thinking golf pencil
size in my head because it's stilla problem. But still can't go through.
That's what I'm saying. At theend of the article, I'll show
you a picture, okay. Ican't wait. Actually, of all the
knives, oh god, and allthe knives actually excited? Are there is
there poop on them? My god? I hope so? Okay, go

(20:37):
moving on where they washed? Thistime, though, to no one's surprise,
he got really sick and had togo to the hospital. Oh you
don't say. Did they have hospitalsin seventeen forty three? Throw some leeches
at you, splashes water, Giveyou a cup of coffee and santi on

(20:59):
you. I didn't use sugar.I used cocaine. But he managed to
pass all the knives. No that'snot true. No it's not true.
Not try this at home, notup to eighteen knives. Allegedly that he
ate and passed successful with actron holeand intestines. No, with the drug.
Who was writing this stuff? Cummingsdidn't learn his lesson, of course,

(21:19):
that says while serving in the RoyalNavy, he got drunk again and
swallowed more knives. I hate him. This time it was too much,
Yes, yes it should have been. I mean the first time was too
much. He swallowed at least thirtyfive knives overtime total total total, not
that it matters, but overtime.Yeah, and the last round eventually led

(21:42):
to his death. Doctors found hisstomach full of knife fragments with several blades
piercing his intestines. Yes, ofcourse, so was he swallowing dull knives
to begin with. And that's that'swhy can I tell you actually how he
died. You're gonna be really mad. Oh God fucking Johnny, Okay,
stand him sphilis and I'm just kidding. It's actually worse than that. He

(22:04):
died from malnutrition because because the gnisingof all the space and his stomach,
well, because they were in hisintestines, and his intestines weren't able to
pull nutrients out of food. I'msure it had holes all over it.
Well, no, it was likeperforated, it was like flocking. It
was like I don't know, itwas like between the food and the intestines

(22:25):
and the testines couldn't absorb any ofthe food. And he died from mault
nutrition. He's an idiot. Donot try this at home. Oh why
would you do that? Don't don'tswallow golf pencils either. Don't swallow anything
you shouldn't food food, just justthings that are actual good food. Yum,
golf pencil does sound splendy, suredoes. It's coated though in lead

(22:52):
delicious. Okay, well, fuckingidiot. He's an idiot. Well he's
a twenty three year old boy whodoesn't have any commences and he's drunk.
Attention the crowd level, Yeah meand pressed you Moore? Yeah, so
okay, I do have another question, right, So the guy that he

(23:12):
saw originally swallowing the knives and itwas also just one knife swallow. So
how do we know that this guybecause there's no media there to like,
oh he was live streaming. Yeah, that caught me off guard for one
reason or another. But how didhe know that that this guy was actually

(23:34):
not telling the truth, like notswallowing the knives. It was, well,
he has been drinking and he sawit, and he's like very impressed
by it. So, but therewas some other person that knew that he
wasn't doing it and told the mediathat who's writing this article that he's not
swallowing it. I'm convinced that JohnnyCommon, you know the article about himself.
All right, look, these areall the knives and knife fragments.

(23:57):
Stop, I'll this for us.Wait a minute, that one looks like
bacon. Are those made of wood? It looks like it looks like bones
or something. Those are like metalfragments. Oh, it's just black and
white or whatever. Yeah, ordrawling or something. I don't know what
it is. That is huge notokay, No, Johnny, do better.

(24:19):
He's a piece of shit. Shipthe knives blocking his butthole. There
was an impaction and that's how hedied. It all right, Okay,
good on that one. But yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah right,
yeah, yeah, okay. Sowhere between giraffe strange draft behavior and better

(24:41):
late than never? Maybe? Okay, do you have a strong leaning no?
Because that that that third one,I'm it sounds sounds deceiving. It
sounds deceiving, and I know thatthere's more to it, and I'm kind
of intrigued by it. I'm moreintrigued by that one as well, which
but I do love a giraffe.That's the problem that story. But I'm

(25:02):
okay, let's not go with giraffes. Okay, done. We're passing on
drafts, passing under rafts to thecontender for next week. So join us
next week to learn about stream passivegiraft behavior. Possibly. What do you
mean because you have two other onesto pick from? Two? Now?
Oh, Yeah, it'll come upagain though, so maybe we'll pick it.
Maybe we'll see alright, So somethinglate never better late than never,

(25:22):
baby baby Reddy. Here's the tagline. Okay, Emma Gibson frozen as an
embryo in nineteen ninety two. Okay, was born in twenty seventeen to a
mother who was born in nineteen ninetyone. Oh, Emma Gibson was frozen

(25:44):
as an embryo in nineteen ninety two, and a year before her mother was
born. Right, whoa what?Yeah? So brainish process that I don't
okay, actually incredible, that wasokay, okay, okay, okay.

(26:08):
So who's embryo was it? Isit like the same genes as this person
who was born the year before?Or is it just like some random,
like donated embryo. It had tohave been a random donated embryo. Xprestion
in twenty sixteen went to like,get an embryo, I get an implant?
I got how does that work?Here's a I was gonna show you

(26:29):
a family photo, but it wentaway. Here's the baby. Oh best
gift? Yeah all right, I'lljust read a little bit. Oh here's
the family wow. Okay, soan embryo was frozen and the mother was
born a year before, so they'rebasically the same age technically, technically when

(26:52):
they were fertalized. Yes, okay, do we read a little bit of
the article? Yes, okay,I'm not feel like related. This is
from CNN. The longest known frozenhuman embryo to result and a successful birth
was born last month in Tennessee.So this was written whenever December twenty seventeen.
Okay, Emma Gibson delivered, uh, November. This is written really

(27:18):
weirdly. Okay, I'll just readit. Emma Gibson delivered November twenty fifth
by doctor Jeffrey Keenan, medical directorof the National Embryo Donation Center. Is
the resulted of it in embryo originallyfrozen on October fourteenth, nineteen ninety two.
Emma's parents, Tina and Benjamin Gibsonof Eastern Tennessee, admit feeling surprised

(27:42):
when they were told the exact ageof the embryo, thought March thirteenth by
somebody of some embryologists whatever, whatevershe says, do you realize I'm only
twenty five this embryo and I couldhave been best friends. Tina Gibson said,
it's so weird. That's I don'tthat Okay, doesn't make you dizzy

(28:03):
rippy. But wait a minute,So did she have I mean I wanted
to. I don't know if there'seven gonna be any follow up, I
mean, like any questions or no, not that any like knowledge about Like
I'm so confused because does she havethe option to do it like like not
take it like I don't like andwhy did that? Like embryo does like

(28:26):
last so long there, like theydon't have like it seems like after twenty
something years, it would just belike is this even still a viable and
embryo at this point is a testbaby? I don't like like if it
would take like how long do theykeep embryos for? I don't know,
well something years is crazy? Crazy, Okay, Okay, I don't I'm

(28:48):
not sure. Yeah, So I'mtrying to like skim through the article a
little bit just to try to figureout like how this worked out because if
she knew an embryo, fine,yes, so it's an embryo adoption is
what it is? Okay, Okay, So she says during August of last
year, I just came home oneday. I looked at Benjamin and I

(29:11):
said, I think we need tosubmit an application for embryo adoption. And
I'm sure. At that point heputs down at his PlayStation control order.
He's like, what the fuck?What does that mean? What is that
like a kinky sex thing? Holdon, hold on, guys, I
gotta just pause for a second.What And she goes on to say,
on a whim, we filled outan application and submitted it that night.

(29:33):
What for embryo adoption of this specificembryo? Is that something you just do?
Want a whim Like, I don'tknow, you're born on a Tuesday
night. You're like, let's justadopt an embryo. And fine, It's
like they couldn't have okay, Butthen it's like the weirdest thought process of
adopting an embryo. So she says, I saw this is before what I
just read. I saw something onthe news today. It's called embryo adoption,

(29:57):
and they would implant an embryo inyou and you could carry a baby.
He told his daughter what this supposedto be. I'm like skipping about
it. Dad talking to I waslike, what is happening in the family.
A second, Wait a second,you should start the end, to
go to the beginning and to goto and then go like I'm looking for

(30:21):
I'm looking for quotes and keywords,and it's I'm all over the well.
Yes, because now we think thatthis girl adopted embrya with her father.
So it's teddy weird. Okay,okay, that's not what happened. I
don't think that that happened. I'mhoping, but please clarify for if the
embryo is her father. Okay,that's weird, what that wouldn't happen?
No, that would be really rare, rare. Okay, close to zero

(30:48):
percent. Don't pound anything out though, okay, science, you know.
Yeah, I was like, okay, this is a quote. I was
like, well that's nice, dad, but we're not interested. We're knee
deep in foster care right now,Tina recalled with a laugh. I kind
of blew it off. I hadno interest in it. So she's okay,
so hold up, person. Butduring the eight hour car trip,

(31:10):
Tina could not stop thinking about herfather's story. Is she do? Why
is she driving? Eight out?A woman can't be trusted. She's all
over the place. Hold tight,Tina is a loose can. She is
so Tina. She just makes thedecisions, life altering decisions. So Tina
and her husband foster children. Itsounds like, right, he's just sit

(31:30):
on the couch playing PlayStation. Andthen this impulsive woman is like, you
know what we need our children embryo. I'm driving eight hours somewhere. What
I'm gonna get turkey basted? Doyou think? Do you think when she
went to the place, to theembryo adoption center and she's like, I
want to do this and they're likeokay, and then like in the back

(31:52):
they're like, let's give her likethe one that's been in there since the
nineties. I think I think theyprovided her with like a catalog. You're
like, here's a binder. Pickyour embryo, because just like because the
embryo, it means that information isin this bider already means that it's been
like the sperm and the egg arelike cool, we're an embryo, right,

(32:13):
so it already has like genetics toit Wherebo's parents. That's what I'm
saying. So if you think aboutit, a sperm bank, right,
if you go to a sperm bankand you like try to get her.
You can pick the type of likesperm you want if you're trying to get
pregnant. So I'm thinking they goin there like we want to adopt an
embryo. They're like, great,here's our embryo catalog and they're flipping through

(32:35):
catalog. Well, that guy seemsto have red hair. I don't think
you want don't you think embryos havehair. No, they're cooking the gans
of the mother and the father whomade the embryo, whoever it was that
made the embryo, the sperm andthe egg that made the embryo. Right,
there's geans. They have a pictureof the sperm in the egg in
the catalogs. The genetics. Thisis the grossest binder I've ever heard of

(32:59):
in my life. Okay, it'snot sticky. They're just saying, you
flipped through, you see like alittle cell picture. It's like, oh,
microscopic self. The picts there,but it's like embryo number element.
It was fertilized in nineteen ninety two. Do you think she picked it on
purpose? Oh? Why? Chromosomegenes. The X ones arela la la,

(33:19):
and then there's these ones. Ithink they could pick. I feel
like it's really detailed. I feellike I feel like you'd have pictures of
the parents and you'd have their databirth and you like when it was made,
and then it would just say theparents would be like born in a
seventies. But you know what Imean. When you go to right,
Yeah, when you look for asperm donor, you can pick qualities of
a male or wherever that sperm comesfrom that you want in your child.

(33:44):
So why couldn't you do the samething. If you're picking an embryo,
it would have from egg and spermgenetics. Why couldn't you pick like your
own designer embryo? Right? Imean, it's what you're saying, this
entire story. What I'm saying,it's ridiculous. But both of you,
okay, because we just heard abouta guy who swallows goddamn knives and someone

(34:06):
who has a child that's a yearolder than her, and you're like,
Stephan, you're crazy. Sit thenext one out. What is happening here?
You bolder there gonna be like,I'm just trying to get your thought
process, is all I'm trying toI don't know how it could be any
clearer. Okay, there's a catalog, catalog, not sticky, and there's

(34:28):
genetic descriptions of egg and sperm andpotentially the year that the egg was fertilized.
And I think sence Tina's a wildgoddamn card. She's like nineteen ninety
two. That sounds crazy. I'mcrazy, Tina. Give me that old
ass embryo and that's how it happens. Are you okay? Guys, I'm

(34:49):
telling you read further in the argicdust You're gonna be like, oh,
Stefan's correct. That's what it says. It says there's a binder full of
sticky sticky. Yeah. And doesit say that Tina's a lose canny because
it's true. It does a longstory, short wild card. There's asterisk
sys to it and italic found sourcesI have reported Tina is a wild card.

(35:10):
Okay, let me let me continuebecause it gets more interesting. Well,
I think I solved it, guys. I think that's that's it.
That's the sticky binder, not nonsticky binder. Some pages are stuck together,
but the sticky becu it's old,old righting. Anyway, I don't
make you know how much it happenedbetween nineteen ninety two and twenty seventeen.

(35:30):
When this thing was born, alot just lived in a freezer this whole
time. It's real chilly. DidI have a blanket or a jacket?
Oh? Like a little like tinyblanky. Yeah. I don't think you
want it to be I think youwant it to be fun. Oh,
we do want it to be frozen. Well, you don't want to thought
too soon? Thanksgiving turkey to thoughttoo soon. And then it starts growing

(35:52):
in the refrigerator and they're like,how does baby get here? Oh?
My god, where does baby comefrom? It's a tail already? You
have what this quote? Kathy,the little embryos in what do you think

(36:12):
they're knitting for each other? Oh? That's cute, it's so precious.
Anyway, please help us move on, all right, she says, Okay,
hold on. Finally, the Gibsonswere ready for the implantation procedure in
March, but they had to choosean embryo, which required viewing donor profiles
in the book Thank You is nonsticky bond, sticky binder. It's his

(36:35):
profiles and quotes, which is veryweird writing profiles and quotes profiles donor profiles?
What does that mean? Why isit in quotes? Maybe because of
the term that they gave it.Maybe it's an internal profile. They're like
this one was a serial killer one. Okay, it sounds like all right.
It lists the basic genetic information aboutthe genetic parents. Thank you.

(37:00):
We quote we literally had weeks togo through. Oh shoot, oh it
is quote. We literally had twoweeks to go through three hundred profiles.
I would just do any means ahuge bind. Why do you gotta go
through all there's so many? Whyare there so many just abandoned embryos.
That's a lot of embryos, threehundred guys a lot, and probably just

(37:21):
in that area. That's crazy.You think there's something all over the world
they can like well, I meanthere's probably different banks and they free them
and credit unions just like that.You go to the ATM A can make
sure you free Tina said. Tinasays it was overwhelming. There were so

(37:45):
many and it's like, how doyou pick? Yes, we're wondering that
to Tina. Yes, the couplestarted with one small detail just to quote
narrow it down in an easy way. She said, since she and Benjamin
are physically small. They began bylooking at profiles based on height and weight.
So what has nothing to do withthe size of the baby's born at?
Though? Just because you had likea huge fat dad doesn't mean you

(38:07):
know what I mean what I mean? Like, it doesn't really okay?
How or does it? No?I don't think so okay? She said,
God damn loose cannon. Uh.Then we started looking at some of
bigger things, like medical history.I think I would start with medical history.
Anyway, long story short, wepicked our profile, Tina said,

(38:28):
but that embryo was not viable,so their second choice was used. Oh
so this baby from my day toowas option number two. It wasn't even
their first choice. Oh my god, that's why this baby hasn't been baby
hasn't been picked by any bikes.Is there everybody's secondar It's like a little
run in the back of the canoe. So sad else would it still be
there if there's three hundred other options? But what's wrong? Probably like tour

(38:52):
the new younger embryos and do youthink do you think it bites? It's
like the puppy at the kennel thatthe old one's a and bites. Definitely
hasn't you talk about that? Youknow, pick me anyway? But why
why has it always been a secondchoice? I'm actually kind of mad at

(39:15):
always the bride's maid, you knowwhat I mean. I'm actually kind of
irritated that Tina admitted to the worldthat her baby was her second choice.
Tina, just don't say any Justdon't say it. Don't say anything.
Why why now if your kid islike, however, Agent, I wasn't
even your first choice. I knowthat's not because then you're like, well,
one of my first choice been betterthan my second choice, because this

(39:37):
child is bu Tina already hates herkids because it growls a lot, doesn't
her first choice? It was justa Tina, don't be a dead birth
a dog. We have a lotof questions, right because best friends?
Why story short? We picked ourprofile, Tina said, but that imbrill

(39:57):
okay was not viable. So choiceonly when they quote were fixing to go
for the transfer end quote. Didher doctor in summer felt which is somebody
that was explained above and I haven'tread about great I think you mentioned it
now explained quote. It's a worldrecord. So she didn't know how old
it was? Oh, the informationthat was like, I can't technically doesn't

(40:20):
matter because if it stops like thegrowing process or the progression process, and
it really doesn't matter, right.I feel like I would have questions though,
like is it still like viable andeldy as like a right? I
don't know how that works science anyway, I'd say I pass. What's a
third choice? What's a third option? Yeah, newer, newer one?
How many miles does this one have? Did she? Did you say there

(40:43):
any tires? This one has adent? Did you? Did you did
you say when she found out howold this thing was? What did you?
I want to do a focus Okay, if you're even carfact stuff already,
so I can't. Sorry, embryoform facts, it's got it's new,
you know. Did she when didshe find out that she was?

(41:07):
How old this embryo was? Uh? After it it kind of sounds like
it says we were fixing to gofor the transfer. I know it's Tennessee.
And then as they're going to dothe transfer, the doctors that gets
a world record. I guess she'sin the stirrups or whatever. She's up
in the stirrups and they're like,oh, by the way, yeah,
your embryo that I'm about to showoutside. He kind of fucked up a

(41:29):
little bit, a little yeah,because how do they know it hasn't been
testing before, Like I don't know. How do we know that was her
actual second choice? And they werelike foisting this like yes, twenty year
old like worked or while amongst panicin the room, the embryo is like
find it is not like they're likewait, wait take it. You're like

(41:53):
I would have worn uterus. Don'tlisten to him. Okay, he's still
said. The doctor or whatever saysit's a world record. Okay, she's
Tina says, laughing, I didn'tsign up for this. In fact,
it goes on to say, noone you did. He impulsely decided to
adopt an embryo. Okay, allof it. Your poor husband's like uh

(42:17):
yeah, well okay, okay,you should see any barn animals we have
at the house. Too many cats, so impulsive. Boy, it's a
world record, yay. It goeson to say, in fact, no
one knows that it's definitely a record. This lot, this lion doctor needs

(42:39):
to be suspended or something. Sowait a minute record, and then he
said that he doesn't know if itactually is. Here's how it plays in
my head. It's like a moviethat doctor's like, it's the world record.
The narrator is like, we actuallydon't know that that's a world record,
Like we don't know if it's factor not have been drunk during implantation.
It's kind of like, oh,what's that movie where there oh intervention

(43:00):
where the guy will say something andthen it'll go dark and that crazy music
boom boom, and then it'll havea capture you're talking about actually the doctored
there's no way to know on screentext. Yeah, no, I don't
know. Oh that makes sense,Okay, that tricks. Uh. It
just goes on to say identifying quote, It says a quote. Identifying the

(43:22):
oldest known embryo is simply an impossibility, says doctor. I even say it
again, stop mentioning unnecessary details Imake. It's not worse. Nobody has
these records, he says, nobodyin the body. CNN seems to other
experts, though, cited some studyon a twenty year old frozen embryo that

(43:44):
came to successful blah blah blah,oh, oh, they gave him a
name? What what? What?Oh? I'm so glad. I kept
reading embryo stage or. Summer Feltsaid, oh, it's a sheet.
I just assumed it was a guy. Summer Fellas said, right, but
you did too, though, rightevery listener did too. For sure,
I wasn't really paying attention. Summerfeltsaid she had unthowed three quote snow babies.

(44:10):
Snow babies a term for frozen embryos. That's horrible, no, no
baby, And I kind of thinkit's funny. All of them adopted from
the same anonymous donor. Surprisingly,all three survived. Normally, there's about
a seventy five percent survival, rightwent unthawing frozen embryos. Wait a second,

(44:31):
what about to do with Tina?Snow babies? Snow babies? Okay,
so the doctor is saying, oh, there's so much more information that
there's a seventy five percent chance ofthat embryo once it's thawing to not work
or to work. I guess likeprior to implantation, you have a seventy

(44:52):
five percent chance of when on thawsand is ready to move on to a
toaster or whatever. Yeah, itdies or doesn't. It's not viable.
Okay, so it was viable frozen, unfrozen no longer viable. Interesting,
okay, all right, okay.Though Keenan transferred all three to Tina,

(45:14):
only one implanted. This is normaland successful. I implantation rates blow blah,
Okay, three seems risky. Yeah, that's a lot. Then they
could split there could be like,right, well, I don't think that,
Mathews. I guess it could work. I don't know. Do they
split in half? Do they getmore than two? They can that's the

(45:35):
risk of like if you implant morethan like two, then that's risky because
you could have I guess that's theoctuplets or whatever they were octimum. Well,
they implanted a lot. Oh dothey split diagonally? Like really?
Good? Is it like a seventythirty split? No? I just do
some get more than others? Maybethey're bigger? Oh whatever, I don't

(46:00):
think, Like when there's a Twitter, not usually want to tell a bigger
gets little bit more of the foodstuff. Oh probably, Yeah, you're
not that you're like that this ismy food that was here? First you
addressed that sandwich? Was that overthere? Look that way? Bro Game

(46:23):
problems encountered during pregnancy were due toTina. Oh, she had problems during
pregnancy. Encounter during pregnancy were dueto Tina having a short cervix. It
says, this article lays it thispoor woman. She all, it's just
out to dry man. Wow.Do you know which happened yet? Oh?

(46:45):
Man? That was a flashback?Was that Friday the thirteenth? Yeah,
if you haven't listened to Friday thethirteenth, you need to. Yeah,
my favorite which could have prevented herfrom successfully carrying her baby. That
did not happen. Obviously, wewouldn't be talking about it, and I
wish we weren't talking about So thisis very topical because it says and just
after Thanksgiving Thanksgiving, Tina began twentyhours of labor. All the twenty hours.

(47:09):
Oh my god, that's a goodwhole day. That's me. All
the while were labor. Four Itwas from five am to eleven pm.
Yeah, I think I was likeeleven or twelve hours. Okay, Anyways,

(47:30):
I've never went into labor. It'slike active labor, right for Tina.
I mean, she could just bebeing like I think they wanna let
you be like in labor for acertain period of time, right, like
active to do. So it's aschedule that needs to be made. There's
other men pushing babies out to doctor'sgot to go, right, Yeah,

(47:51):
if you can't get this, pushthis baby out, then push it out,
clean it up, move on.You know that's what I always say?
Is that what you always say?Don't stop? Basically, it's okay,
I don't know what's happening. Rightnow, I've lost she's off the
rails. I can't It's okay,she needs a minute. That's all I

(48:17):
got. So next week we'll havetwo more topics, okay, plus strange
giraft behavior. Right, Okay,we'll see if it makes we'll see,
we'll see what the other topics are. I'm very surprised you didn't pick strange
draft behavior. I want to talkabout it. Well, I feel like
I feel like we already know whatit is, Like I we don't know

(48:38):
what it is. But it's like, no fucking chance you know what this
is. There's no chance. Butyou only just discovered recently that diraftes fight
by whipping their heads around. Theydo. Yeah, you just discovered that
recently. Who are you? Whydidn't you know that did you. Honestly,
I didn't know they fought. Ithought they're getting mad. No,
I thought they were friendly though.Okay, they are adorable, but I

(49:00):
would imagine if it's like any kindof like mating thing. It's kind of
like the mail down around. Youknow how you say you always say like
you like defeat the girafts. Ohmy god, the zoo. I always
want to touch one after hearing this, when you're not gonna want to do
that anymore. If I want tohear it now, oh we're gonna hear
it, should read it now.Oh god. Now, every time I

(49:22):
go to a zoo and I'm like, go down the line to like that
little branch to the draft. Everytime I like next online, I think
my face is like giving get away. And it always because when I'm next
online holding a little stupid stick,the was like, remember you don't touch
my good damn it touch it open. Yeah, it's like they know my

(49:42):
energy, like this picture can toucha drafte and then potentially I'll get and
riding. Of course, I'm likeholding on the dress all right, and
then I get into a neck fight, a crazy neck fight. I'm unconscious.
It's fine, it's like uh oh, like play chicken, but you're
like with another giraffe writer and you'relike slapping next classic. All right,

(50:07):
well that was wild. Wow,that was fun. It was gonna go
oh yeah, oh good, better, oh good, better than expected.
I like it. Let us remembercomments what you thought about today's topics.
Yes, and if you have anymore information about this knife swallowing thing,
please don't. I'll post the pictures. John Cummings very intrigued. I'll post

(50:28):
John Cummings. What if there's acrazy ancestor through like of John Commings if
you related to John Cummings from boxingswallow knives, the famous knife please would
that be if they were like they'rein the circus, yes, and they
breathe fire and they swallow knives.Yeah, that'd be cool, because are
pying tribute to the great, greatgrandfather great. Yes. Yeah. If

(50:50):
you or someone you know is relatedto a coming, but not just any
coming, then Commings, it's twentythree andineteen seventy four. Well that's nineteen.
We jumped a few hundred years.All right, all right, that's

(51:15):
all I got. That's it,okay, guye okay, bye bye,
