Speaker 1 (00:08):
Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, we
are going to discuss why a high school is banning
those super cool, trendy water bottles. A physician who left
in the middle of surgery to have sex with a nurse.
A couple from Queens who were violently murdered, a drunk
driver that had their drunk driving device removed from their
(00:42):
vehicle months before they killed someone in a drunk driving accident.
People who are afraid of fruit, Yes, you heard me fruit,
and a dad who died at his son's funeral. All
that and more on today's episode. Why is this high
school banning the super cool Stanley cups?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So they're trying to say because it's holding up security
screening and because anybody could put anything in it. Of
course they have to confirm the contents of the cup.
I would morally, I would more so think it was
because they could be used as weapons.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
They're heavy.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, so that's what that's what I was thinking at first. Too.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We've had a couple stories, didn't We have a story
of a kid that killed his grandmom or something with
the Stanley Cup months back, and they can I mean,
they're heavy and they can cause blunt trauma. So that's
why you would think and every single kid has one
of them. But they're saying, and this makes sense actually,
because do you remember that time we had the story
(01:45):
about the Stanley cups are being they're covered in lead
and then they have this other covering over them. Remember
a mom like did testing on it and said that
there was like lead in it. Yeah, so if a
portion of the cup is lined in lead, that could
affect the X rays of going through security to get
into a school, right, And in theory, I guess you
(02:06):
could put like a knife in the cop. You could
put a weapon in the cop. And maybe that's why
they're I mean, they're not going to open them and
check them for vodka because that could be in a
clear bottle too. It's not that they're just trying to
check for an actual weapon being smuggled in.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I mean, I guess the first comment I have to
make is it's just sad we live in a society
where our high schoolers have to get screened going into school.
But that's obvious now. And then I thought this too,
because we were shocked at the airport even last week
that people had Stanley's. But I guess you could bring
them through TSA if they're empty, But I don't know,
(02:44):
like I think they could be seriously hurtful. I actually
was listening to another show a couple of weeks ago,
and some like a listener wrote in and said that
they felt bad because their Stanley fell from the overhead
compartment and hit somebody in the head below. Like that
could hurt really bad.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, it could, but that's not even why they're removing
them in this case. But let me read you some
of the quotes because this is actually more interesting, all right,
So that so all the kids are in an uproar
and they're having like, let's sign a petition to fight
this blah blah blah quote. We are the students believe
this policy places an unneeded burden on a student seeking
(03:25):
to meet.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Their daily hydration needs.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I'm like, shut the hell up.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Like I didn't even drink water the whole time I
was in school.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I didn't drink water until I was twenty years old.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Like really, yet nobody that grew up before like two
thousand drank water during the day at school.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
When I was a little kid, like bottled water didn't
even exist.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Well, I'm serious, at least where I lived.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So really, I always tell this story, like my mom
would give me a capricen in my lunch box and
that was it for the entire day. One capri son
going outside for recess, running around, and then you had
a drink off the nasty, asty water fountain, right that
every other king as they are gross, But.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
You would be like, oh my god, this is the
best thing ever because.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You were like dying so and and you can, like
I do understand from the parents perspective, because for me,
I've invested probably hundreds of dollars in these stupid water bottles.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And they're falling into trends because you can't.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's not my fault.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's one of those cups that's not one of those
brands for ten dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
It's hard.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
The kids won't carry it. They won't.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's say it's your problem for falling in. That's it's
my problem. But it's not my fault because I will.
I think that they're dumb. They weigh half of the
child's wait, Like, I just think they're dumb all around. Right,
But as a parent that's invested, because now Stanley's aren't
cool anymore. Now it's like a Wallas or whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Every year there's like a trending thing.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
So now I got a cabinet full these things, and
now the school's telling me they can't use them. You
have to get them a new thing. But then the
one that they want them to get is plastic. I
don't really want my kid drinking out of plastic all
the time like that.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I've been seeing a.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Lot of glass cups like that, Like, are you that's
not going.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
To be practical either with a child.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
No, But I'm just saying, like, if it has to
be clear, that's at least an option.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Just like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So the parents are all like in a tizzy, and
everybody's in a tizzy. And then one of the moms
was saying, oh, this was a good one. Nobody's going
to want to drink warm water like there, I guess
the clear ones aren't going to keep the water warm.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, I actually don't like cold water. I find that
drinking lukewarm water is actually better for me and I
can get it down.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
That's literally what I was thinking. That's what I was
thinking too. I was like, I never ever drink water
from the refrigerator ever. It hurts my teeth or something,
and it does, and it is difficult to drink.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
It's good like when you're if you're like really really.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Thirsty and you're in a situation, it does. Like let's
say you're in Disney World and you want like a drink,
like cold water would definitely be better, but like in
a normal situation where you're just trying to pound like
a couple bottles of water just to like get hydrated,
it's easier when it's warm.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I know you didn't want to keep you up at
the Kardashians, but there's an episode where like Kim Kardashian
drops a diamond earring in the ocean and she's freaking
out and then Courtney's like, Kim, people are.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Dying, and that's talking about the situation.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I'm like, Okay, listen, it's annoying in an inconvenience, but like,
your life is not ruined over this.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Just go get a freaking class.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Why.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I'm just like, we can't have our hydration needs.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's just exactly, You're just like that is some chad
the news this week, Like there's definitely other things going on,
like one crazy story we're going to be talking about,
which you know, I'll say that when we get to
that story. Let's let's get on to the next one.
I saw this on our local news, Just ransoms on
(06:57):
our local news.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So in the UK, a patient was undergoing gall bladder
removal surgery and that's when the anesthesiologist just decided that
was the best time to leave the room and go
have sex with a nurse in another operating room.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well really, I mean, if that's not bad enough, the
reason that he did this was because him and his
wife had a baby premature and it was stressing him
out and he had to, you know, get some kind
of a release to be under that stress.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So not only are you leaving a patient in the
middle of surgery, which is so dangerous, but now you're
also going to be cheating on your wife and then
try to say it was due to your premature baby.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Total piece of shit.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
He really is a piece of shit on multiple levels.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Like imagine imagine being a mother that gives birth to
a premature child and having that uncertainty of like is
the baby going to be okay? Like that's just stressful enough,
and then having your husband cheat on you, which is terrible,
and then have it being broadcasted all over the news,
and then him blaming it on your sick lies.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Baby, Yeah, exactly what a loser.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well, I I was thinking that too. This must just
be so embarrassing for the wife. And hopefully she's like,
you know, I think most people I've seen commenting on
the story, I also agree this guy is a loser.
So hopefully for her it was a good riddance at
least she revealed yourself now and whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You know, what's an interesting topic. You know how when
we were at Crime Come, we were like just looking
at all the people and were like, oh, there's some
romantic relationships going on here for sure, to like meet ups,
hook ups, and we of course were like super curious
about that. Hospitals are the same thing. There's like people
always I don't want to say always, it's not like happy,
(08:39):
but there's people that are having sex at the hospital.
There's there's bedrooms in the hospital for the residents and
the nurse like the nurses that if they need to
stay over and stuff like, there's places to have sex.
I know, people that have like it's a thing I
A don't think you should.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I mean he was gone for eight minutes, So like
as as a regular person, I'm assuming that's a long time,
Like you should not be leaving at all unless you're
like running to the bathroom real quick, right, I.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Mean surgeons, Listen, some surgeries go a long time, twelve hours, Like, yeah,
the surgeon takes a break and they usually have a
resident there, but like no, not for this, No, the
surgeon might take a break to like eat, like you said,
eat pee, go to the bathroom sometimes, like especially if
(09:26):
they're sending down a frozen section, that might be a
time to be like okay, like we're waiting for something
to come back. We could take a break, but like
someone's monitoring the patient and everything like that. But to
just go whip one out for eight minutes, no, but
also somebody because for that surgery, you don't get cut
open necessarily, right they do it through the belly button
(09:47):
for gall black Yeah, well yeah, they they could do
it laparoscopically, but it also could have been open to
it just depends.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Okay, So like I guess what I'm getting at is,
like what about the whole scene.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Makes you like corny at that moment.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It is it is, it's giving imputation for and a little.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Bit and what and what like from a woman's perspective,
like going in another room and banging it out for
eight minutes when like, and it's a cheating situation, Like
what are you getting out of it?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Because that cheaters are like that they think it's like
so hot and then they got caught by another coach.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Of course, it's hot for the guy for sure, but like,
what's the woman getting out of it?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I think the women think it's hot too.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, Like well, you know a lot of women think like, oh,
he's attracted to me because his wife's so.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Ugly, like yeah, and then it's like they got caught
by somebody that's like a whole other fetish in and
of itself. So yeah, I don't know, I don't want
this guy operating on me this or he wasn't a surgeon,
he was an n STC yellowist. You get what I'm saying.
He's in charge of an important factor in the surgery.
But I guess, like, I don't know, it just bothers
(10:52):
me really bad. It happened back in twenty twenty three.
And he obviously got suspended from work and now he's
trying to go through hearings to get reinstated. Then I
think you're making questionable choices, So I don't know if
you should.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
And plus, like, I mean, we never find out about
this stuff. But it's just like, you know, when you're
going to get a colonoscarby and stuff, it's like, do
you really ever go on and look up the anesthesiologist
that's putting you to sleep?
Speaker 4 (11:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
No, I didn't even.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Know who my anesthesiologist was going to be for my
surgery until I was like there, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But like even if they come in the room and
they're like, Hi, I'm so and so I'm the anesthesiologist,
are you're gonna quickly google their name and be like, wait,
you had sex with somebody during a gallbladder surgery?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Like did you get that out of your system?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Or you know, like yeah, And you can't just be
like that guy's not giving it to me, Like it's
not like there's an endless supply of fantasy's.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's surely amazing if you're just like I googled him
and like he's not touching me.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
That would be amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I wonder what they would do in that situation. This
is why they have to suspend people, all right, This
one's horrible and Queen's This guy was going around knocking
on doors asking for help because his phone died. So
the first ended up denying him, but the second home,
which belonged to this elderly couple, let him in through
their backyard and then hours later they were found dead
and their house was.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Set on fire.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah. This I saw this story. What day did this happen?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Because I feel like it was circulating at the same
time as the Charlie kirksy.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It was only a couple of days ago. Yeah, and
I feel like it really got over.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Shit got it did get overshadowed, and I don't like
I did. I did want to talk about it because
I'm like, we should look into that. When I read
about it, I was just like, this is so scary,
especially for elderly people that have been getting taken advantage of,
like off the hook, you know what I mean. It's
just it's just really crazy, Like this is I want
(12:44):
to send this story to some of my elderly neighbors
and just be like, because there's always people walking up
our street, like trying to pretend to sell some shit
or actually selling something or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I can't believe people do that anymore with the way
people are like freaking out in general, wouldn't you just
be scared if you were going door to door you'd
get shot by somebody random?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, nobody should just be standing there with a gum
waiting to shoot someone.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That cos obviously, But I'm just saying, like, not in
New Jersey necessarily because that wouldn't happen, but like in
other states where they're more open with their gun policy,
I don't know, it would just freak me out. The
solicitors drive me fucking crazy. They always are knocking on
the door. I'll have a sign up that says I'm recording,
and they'll just keep knocking on my door and I'm like,
you don't see the giant sign that says I'm in
(13:30):
the middle of record.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And then they'll be.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Like, how's your pest control? I see some ants on
your porch and I'm like, yeah, because it's outside and
there's ants outside, thank you for interrupting my entire workday.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
They are annoying, and we live on a tight street
so it's like it's awesome because my neighbors and I
have like a group chat for our street are like
section of our street, and somebody will be like solicitor alert,
so we all are aware to not answer our door,
you know. But so, I mean, this is so scary
(14:03):
because people knock at the door like they're delivering the
mail or they're doing this or whatever. Like don't you
don't know, like who's coming to your door all the time.
I mean, I personally wouldn't answer it, but like that's
so scary. So they they were like trying to why
did they let him in the back.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I was kind of unclear about that.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't know if like it was the design of
where the house was. Maybe they had a corner property
and they saw him across the street and that was
the way. I really don't know the design and why
they let him in the back, But basically police said
that at ten eighteen am they see him go in
the back door, and then he didn't leave the house
until three eight pm, So five hours later, the house
is set on fire. When they go in the house,
(14:45):
they find the older man tied to a pole in
the basement with multiple stab wounds and then the wife
was just burned beyond recognition.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Does this guy know these people because.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He is claiming they molested him when he was a child,
But I have see no further reports on that, So.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So this is either true or it's like he's just
out of his mind and it's just saying that just
to act like he had a reason to do this.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I mean, I would go with option B that he
just threw it out there because after he like robbed
them too, so they were able to track him down
through New York because he was using their credit cards
at various locations.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Went to the movies.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
He went to how do you stab someone to death?
And set a person on fire? And set the house
on fire and go to the movies afterwards?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Is it possible, though.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That that he knew that he knew them that's why
he was getting let in the back. I'm just I'm
just curious.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's just impossibly.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But older people, I think also just want to think
the best.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
No, I totally think it could be random. It's just
if it's random, it's very very scary, not that it's
I mean, I don't know, just like I do want
to hear more about this because it and it and honestly,
if that's not true, and he's putting that out there,
like how awful because these people, these people are like grandparents' age, right,
(16:10):
so they have children that are are you know, like
my age, your age whatever, Like not only are your
parents murdered and robbed, but now there's like a rumor
going around that they raped a child, Like it's just terrible.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room guys.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Our sale is ending this Friday, September nineteenth, for twenty
dollars for the whole entire year of gross and that
comes with a this uh forensic Friday that we're going
to have this week. I'm not sure what I'm going
to do this week, but last week it was on
post mortem organ procurement. So what happens when you know,
(16:58):
we talk about usually when you think about donating organs,
it's a heart or a liver or kidney or something
like that, but there's other things that are harvested after
you die and what that looks like when we get
the bodies for autopsy.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
So check that out.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Head over to the gross room dot com now to
sign up This one is absolutely unbelievable. This happened in
New Jersey. So there's recently a fatal car accident where
the driver admitted to drinking six to seven beers before
getting behind the wheel, crashing into a pole and killing
his friend and the catches. He had a previous dui
(17:33):
offence that required that like breathalyzer device to be put
in his car, and it had just been removed three
months before this fatal accident. This person is twenty one
years old and now has two drunk driving incidents and
a murder, like he murdered his friend.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Well, this is the thing. There's a lot of statistics,
especially from organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, that say
when a person gets pulled over for drunk drive, they
have some maybe upwards of seventy five additional times that
they did it before actually getting caught. Oh, which is
(18:08):
so disturbing. So that's what makes me think that they
need to be a little bit more serious when they
catch someone, Like they're catching a woman who had a
glass of wine after work with her friends driving home.
It's just not that no, And like this guy was
drinking and driving and got that breathalyzer device put onto
(18:33):
his car and only had to have it on three months, Like,
what is the point of that?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
What is says doing?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
It's not doing anything, And clearly he didn't learn his lesson,
And I'm like, what is going on in this person's
life that they have such bad substance abuse issues at
such a young age.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Mean both times that he was caught, well, the first
time he was caught drinking and driving and the second
time when he killed someone, he had open containers in
his car, which is also just like, so it's so brazen,
like just to drive around with alcohol like that when
it's so illegal and just drink while you're literally driving.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Well, it's just like alcoholic behavior. Yeah, and clearly, clearly,
I mean listen, clearly this person had not been just
started drinking when they're twenty one, like you're supposed to.
I'd argue he probably started in his early teens and
it escalated to this point because I can't imagine somebody
having such severe alcohol abuse issues in only a year's time.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
What like, what would be the negative? Honestly, because if
you so so many times that we hear about people
who kill people in drinking and driving accidents, they've had
previous offenses. If someone got this once, what would be
the problem with just saying, like, you're having this thing
on your car for years?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And I thought the standard was here.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I thought it was at least a year you had
to have it on your car, not only a couple
of months.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I mean, because really, if you had it on someone's
car for years, it would be a tremendous inconvenience to
a person if they're not able to start their car.
So this is another question I have too. When you
do that breathalyzer, I know that it's highly sensitive and
you're not supposed to drink any alcohol because it could
(20:24):
it could give a false reading and not start the car.
So you're really just not supposed to drink, which is
not a bad thing, right, Like I guess you could
say it's trying to take away a person's rights, but
it's not.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
You just don't.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
You just can't drink and drive. That'sould just be a
rule anyway. Yes, But when let's say that guy had
it and he went to the bar and he went
in his car and blew in it and it said, okay,
we're not starting this car. Does it keep a report
of that and tell people that he was trying to
drive and couldn't drive because he was too drunk, or
(20:59):
does it just not art the car and like nobody's
monitoring that thing.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I would say the more modern ones probably have some recording,
like some data recording, don't you think maybe And do
you get penalized if you do try to get in there?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Because think about that, like if you're hanging out with
a person, because like tends to hang usually it's not
like a sober or a person that doesn't drink with
like a complete drunk person, right, So like you would
have to find someone to breathe in it to start
the car for you that that didn't have any alcohol
in their system. It would be a terrible inconvenience if
(21:36):
you actually drank a lot like to be able to
bypass it and for years that would that might take
a toll to get a person to drink less. Maybe
I don't know. I don't know what the like with
the psychology is behind it or anything. But like now,
the the guy that he killed wasn't wearing a seatbelt
(21:56):
and was ejected, which I don't understand. Why people get
in the car and don't put the seatbelt on. But
that's whatever people want to do.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But might he might have been drunk too, You don't,
yeah exactly because they didn't release that every.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
But it's just like yeah, like you're twenty one years
old and it's just like so now you're in trouble.
But like it's the same thing with with Jake Harrow
killing the baby, and like it's just like when is
it that the judges it's their responsibility too, Like you're
handing out these like candy sentences and like people are
(22:32):
reoffending all the time.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
This is what bothers me too. So they're saying people
are submitting letters vouching for his character and trying to
get him released to a substance abuse program, Like okay,
so he'll get sober and then just get drunk and
do it again. He can get substance abuse help in
prison because he murdered somebody, So how about that because
he didn't just drunk driving got caught. He killed somebody
(22:55):
because he was drunk driving and it wasn't the first offense.
It's not like he was out and made a bad
call and this was a true, true accident and it
happened he had previous offenses, he shouldn't have been allowed
to drive this time, and he did, and now somebody
is dead.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, and I feel like even the first time he
was caught, he had like empty beer bottles and whiskey bottles,
and it just seems like he, I mean, he definitely
seems like he's got some kind of a problem, because
that's not how.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah, we're not talking like somebody was at the bar,
had four beers, made a bad judgment call and got
in the car. Like this guy is seriously an alcoholic.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah, and it is.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
It's just it's just really upsetting to hear this because
so like we've talked about this a million times, the
drunk driver doesn't ever seem to be the one that dies.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
It's always an.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Innocent victim, exactly, all right. This woman is going viral
on TikTok after posting videos of her trying new fruits
in which she claims is exposure therapy for her fruit phobia.
This is like one of those cases where you're like, oh,
learn something new every day. Never heard of this fruit
to phobia. It's called fruit to phobia fear of fruit.
(24:05):
And there's also like people could have a fear of
vegetables too, And I think from a psychological standpoint, it's
like it's kind of cool, actually, how you you could
somehow just fixate on the most random, benign object and
be scared to death of it. I'm like that with
ET for example, Like a lot of people like there's
(24:26):
something about it that scares the shit out of me.
Like I if I see like, like, thank god, we're
not in the eighties and there's not that many like
toys or like t shirts with the thing on it,
but when I see it, it's like triggering to me,
like it makes me have a gross feeling inside. Well,
I was gonna say, you know, we've covered other stories
where like these people are on TikTok and you know,
like this this sleepwalking thing right where like we're like, okay,
(24:49):
that could be real, or that girl could be faking it.
That girl that gags all the time could be real,
could be faking it. You could also call bullshit on
this girl too. But the way she explains the phobia
makes think it's real because you have your ET problem
and I have obviously a needlephobia. So coming from that
place when she said quote, it feels like I'm standing
(25:09):
on the edge of a cliff and someone's threatening to
push me off. I get sweaty, it gets super nervous
and anxious, and there's this feeling of disgust that just
completely grosses me out and makes me freak out. That
is exactly how I feel when I'm in the middle
of having a freak out over being exposed to a needle.
I'm sure you feel that way with et. Yours just
a little more weird. I don't know if there's a
term for yours, but I don't think this is.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I also don't think that mine is that extreme. Like
I like, I feel like I mentally am strong enough
to overcome anything like that, even though it makes me
feel uncomfortable. But I definitely like I look this up
and this is a thing. And one thing I hadn't
even considered was the reason is is that people are
(25:51):
like scared of ingesting insects by accident, or scared of
ingesting the seeds and the seeds like growing inside their
body and shit, just like outrage, just stuff that like
most people eating fruit and vegetables don't even think about.
And there was always a thing, remember, like if you
ate watermelons, and you swallowed the seeds of watermelon was
gonna grow in your belly. It was like a joke
(26:12):
when we were a kid. And You're like, no, people
actually think that that might happen.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, And she said she's been like this her entire life.
It's not just something that suddenly sprung up when her
mom tried to change her from puraid foods a solid.
She just always had an aversion to it and she
just could never do it. And now I guess she
wants to try to fix it because she's married and
she's thinking about becoming a mother, and she doesn't want
to have a panic attack every time she tries to
feed her kids like healthy foods.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's kind of mislaughtered, so outrageous. No, it's cool, it's cool,
And she's surprised that it's getting such attention. She had
like twenty nine million views, and I'm like, no, dude,
like this is outrageous. I know this is your everyday life.
But like people are are like, what the hell this actually?
(26:59):
You know, like my strange addiction. There needs to be
a show that's like my phobia.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yes, it is such a good show.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I know, because like this is so interesting and people
probably have like really weird shit, Like yeah, I mean
there's ones called like fructophobia because it's for people specific
for fruit.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
But like what's the et on call?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Like what are all weird things that people have that
like they're just like, no, this is this is like
scary and it throws me over the edge.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I should cut this out so we could make all
the money off of this. You know, somebody else pitching it.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
But we could be the host.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
That's a perfect idea, Like I'd be interested in doing
something like that. She said she's most scared of an orange,
which I thought was an interesting thing. But the pineapple
video is funny because she's eating it and she looks
so scared to put in her mouth, and then once
she does, she admits to her husband that it tastes delicious,
but she doesn't like the texture.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Still, Yeah, it's so it's just so interesting. It's like
on the level of my strange addiction. I'm telling you, like,
people are gonna be like this is like you think
she's your age basically right, she's around your age and
she's married without kids yet, so she's like in the
same exact life situation as you and Ricky like just
(28:19):
imagine being with your husband at night and like having
these conversations if he pulls out like a pineapple and
you're like crying in the corner, like it's just it's
it's great TV.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
And like it's not to pitch this. I know we're
gonna need to pitch this seriously.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
All right, let's move on to our last story. So,
this father of seven was at one of his son's
funerals a couple of weeks ago and in the middle
of it, had a massive heart attack and died. Yeah,
this is this is so the dad didn't have any
history of heart disease and he was sixty one. I
believe in the son was forty one. So I imagine
(28:59):
that losing a child is just like the most heartbreaking
thing a person can experience. And indeed, you can die
from a broken heart. Really like that's a medical thing
that could hack. So I guess the real tragedy behind
this story is that when the sun was found dead
in July, it was on the anniversary of when his
(29:21):
twins were stillborn. So it's three generations of death all
on the you know, anniversaries or during the grievance period.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, so I don't know what happened there. I think
the sun had a history of drug and alcohol problems.
I guess the sister had thought that he had gotten sober,
but they didn't really specify what.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
His cause of death was.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
But at forty one years old, especially with that kind
of history, it's possibly has something to do with it.
So what happens with this broken heart disease? Or it's
called takasubo arteritis, that's the technical term of it. So well, normally,
when you have what you would consider to be a
(30:04):
heart attack, that's because of a schemic heart disease, or
it means that there's some kind of a block of
oxygen getting to your heart muscle. But in this case,
and usually it's coronary artery disease, in this case, it
could happen when a person doesn't have coronary artery disease
because of two different things. Number one, just hormones and
(30:24):
adrenaline could be too much release because of a high
stress event such as some a close family member, loved
one's death. It could also happen like if you get
scared to death kind of you've seen this could happen
to that there's this surge release of hormones that could
be toxic to the heart muscle, along with something causing
(30:47):
the coronary arteries to constrict, almost like not allowing blood
flow to get through. The combination of those two, they think, anyway,
is what causes this phenomenon to happen. But you hear
of it sometimes unfortunately, and so you really can die
of a broken heart, and that's likely what happened in
(31:07):
this case. It's just so sad to hear, especially for
the surviving sister.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
God that is just so terrible. It really is.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
All right, guys, Well, we have a couple events coming
up in October. On the third, we have the Wildlife
CSI at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park, and then on the twelfth,
we have the Keeping Hope, a Live annual golf Classic
where I'm gonna be volunteering and you have.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
To check out the Mother Knows Death golf cart. That's
the uh.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
You could drive around in a cute little golf cart.
I mean, the event's really awesome. It raises money for
couples dealing with IVF and it's a cool event because
you could either golf or you could go to this
dinner where there's a raffle with some fun baskets, so
always get a prize. I know our family loves a.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Basket situation, love a good basket.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It's gonna be a good dinner too. That's local to
us in New Jersey. And then the next weekend we
have Dark sand New Jersey Edison on the eighteenth, where
we're going to be doing a live show.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Yeah, that's going to be really fun too.

Thanks
Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, we
are going to discuss why a high school is banning
those super cool, trendy water bottles. A physician who left
in the middle of surgery to have sex with a nurse.
A couple from Queens who were violently murdered, a drunk
driver that had their drunk driving device removed from their
(00:42):
vehicle months before they killed someone in a drunk driving accident.
People who are afraid of fruit, Yes, you heard me fruit,
and a dad who died at his son's funeral. All
that and more on today's episode. Why is this high
school banning the super cool Stanley cups?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So they're trying to say because it's holding up security
screening and because anybody could put anything in it. Of
course they have to confirm the contents of the cup.
I would morally, I would more so think it was
because they could be used as weapons.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
They're heavy.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, so that's what that's what I was thinking at first. Too.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We've had a couple stories, didn't We have a story
of a kid that killed his grandmom or something with
the Stanley Cup months back, and they can I mean,
they're heavy and they can cause blunt trauma. So that's
why you would think and every single kid has one
of them. But they're saying, and this makes sense actually,
because do you remember that time we had the story
(01:45):
about the Stanley cups are being they're covered in lead
and then they have this other covering over them. Remember
a mom like did testing on it and said that
there was like lead in it. Yeah, so if a
portion of the cup is lined in lead, that could
affect the X rays of going through security to get
into a school, right, And in theory, I guess you
(02:06):
could put like a knife in the cop. You could
put a weapon in the cop. And maybe that's why
they're I mean, they're not going to open them and
check them for vodka because that could be in a
clear bottle too. It's not that they're just trying to
check for an actual weapon being smuggled in.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I mean, I guess the first comment I have to
make is it's just sad we live in a society
where our high schoolers have to get screened going into school.
But that's obvious now. And then I thought this too,
because we were shocked at the airport even last week
that people had Stanley's. But I guess you could bring
them through TSA if they're empty, But I don't know,
(02:44):
like I think they could be seriously hurtful. I actually
was listening to another show a couple of weeks ago,
and some like a listener wrote in and said that
they felt bad because their Stanley fell from the overhead
compartment and hit somebody in the head below. Like that
could hurt really bad.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, it could, but that's not even why they're removing
them in this case. But let me read you some
of the quotes because this is actually more interesting, all right,
So that so all the kids are in an uproar
and they're having like, let's sign a petition to fight
this blah blah blah quote. We are the students believe
this policy places an unneeded burden on a student seeking
(03:25):
to meet.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Their daily hydration needs.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I'm like, shut the hell up.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Like I didn't even drink water the whole time I
was in school.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I didn't drink water until I was twenty years old.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Like really, yet nobody that grew up before like two
thousand drank water during the day at school.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
When I was a little kid, like bottled water didn't
even exist.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Well, I'm serious, at least where I lived.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So really, I always tell this story, like my mom
would give me a capricen in my lunch box and
that was it for the entire day. One capri son
going outside for recess, running around, and then you had
a drink off the nasty, asty water fountain, right that
every other king as they are gross, But.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
You would be like, oh my god, this is the
best thing ever because.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You were like dying so and and you can, like
I do understand from the parents perspective, because for me,
I've invested probably hundreds of dollars in these stupid water bottles.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And they're falling into trends because you can't.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's not my fault.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's one of those cups that's not one of those
brands for ten dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
It's hard.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
The kids won't carry it. They won't.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's say it's your problem for falling in. That's it's
my problem. But it's not my fault because I will.
I think that they're dumb. They weigh half of the
child's wait, Like, I just think they're dumb all around. Right,
But as a parent that's invested, because now Stanley's aren't
cool anymore. Now it's like a Wallas or whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Every year there's like a trending thing.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
So now I got a cabinet full these things, and
now the school's telling me they can't use them. You
have to get them a new thing. But then the
one that they want them to get is plastic. I
don't really want my kid drinking out of plastic all
the time like that.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I've been seeing a.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Lot of glass cups like that, Like, are you that's
not going.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
To be practical either with a child.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
No, But I'm just saying, like, if it has to
be clear, that's at least an option.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Just like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So the parents are all like in a tizzy, and
everybody's in a tizzy. And then one of the moms
was saying, oh, this was a good one. Nobody's going
to want to drink warm water like there, I guess
the clear ones aren't going to keep the water warm.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, I actually don't like cold water. I find that
drinking lukewarm water is actually better for me and I
can get it down.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
That's literally what I was thinking. That's what I was
thinking too. I was like, I never ever drink water
from the refrigerator ever. It hurts my teeth or something,
and it does, and it is difficult to drink.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
It's good like when you're if you're like really really.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Thirsty and you're in a situation, it does. Like let's
say you're in Disney World and you want like a drink,
like cold water would definitely be better, but like in
a normal situation where you're just trying to pound like
a couple bottles of water just to like get hydrated,
it's easier when it's warm.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I know you didn't want to keep you up at
the Kardashians, but there's an episode where like Kim Kardashian
drops a diamond earring in the ocean and she's freaking
out and then Courtney's like, Kim, people are.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Dying, and that's talking about the situation.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I'm like, Okay, listen, it's annoying in an inconvenience, but like,
your life is not ruined over this.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Just go get a freaking class.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Why.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I'm just like, we can't have our hydration needs.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's just exactly, You're just like that is some chad
the news this week, Like there's definitely other things going on,
like one crazy story we're going to be talking about,
which you know, I'll say that when we get to
that story. Let's let's get on to the next one.
I saw this on our local news, Just ransoms on
(06:57):
our local news.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So in the UK, a patient was undergoing gall bladder
removal surgery and that's when the anesthesiologist just decided that
was the best time to leave the room and go
have sex with a nurse in another operating room.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well really, I mean, if that's not bad enough, the
reason that he did this was because him and his
wife had a baby premature and it was stressing him
out and he had to, you know, get some kind
of a release to be under that stress.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So not only are you leaving a patient in the
middle of surgery, which is so dangerous, but now you're
also going to be cheating on your wife and then
try to say it was due to your premature baby.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Total piece of shit.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
He really is a piece of shit on multiple levels.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Like imagine imagine being a mother that gives birth to
a premature child and having that uncertainty of like is
the baby going to be okay? Like that's just stressful enough,
and then having your husband cheat on you, which is terrible,
and then have it being broadcasted all over the news,
and then him blaming it on your sick lies.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Baby, Yeah, exactly what a loser.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well, I I was thinking that too. This must just
be so embarrassing for the wife. And hopefully she's like,
you know, I think most people I've seen commenting on
the story, I also agree this guy is a loser.
So hopefully for her it was a good riddance at
least she revealed yourself now and whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You know, what's an interesting topic. You know how when
we were at Crime Come, we were like just looking
at all the people and were like, oh, there's some
romantic relationships going on here for sure, to like meet ups,
hook ups, and we of course were like super curious
about that. Hospitals are the same thing. There's like people
always I don't want to say always, it's not like happy,
(08:39):
but there's people that are having sex at the hospital.
There's there's bedrooms in the hospital for the residents and
the nurse like the nurses that if they need to
stay over and stuff like, there's places to have sex.
I know, people that have like it's a thing I
A don't think you should.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I mean he was gone for eight minutes, So like
as as a regular person, I'm assuming that's a long time,
Like you should not be leaving at all unless you're
like running to the bathroom real quick, right, I.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Mean surgeons, Listen, some surgeries go a long time, twelve hours, Like, yeah,
the surgeon takes a break and they usually have a
resident there, but like no, not for this, No, the
surgeon might take a break to like eat, like you said,
eat pee, go to the bathroom sometimes, like especially if
(09:26):
they're sending down a frozen section, that might be a
time to be like okay, like we're waiting for something
to come back. We could take a break, but like
someone's monitoring the patient and everything like that. But to
just go whip one out for eight minutes, no, but
also somebody because for that surgery, you don't get cut
open necessarily, right they do it through the belly button
(09:47):
for gall black Yeah, well yeah, they they could do
it laparoscopically, but it also could have been open to
it just depends.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Okay, So like I guess what I'm getting at is,
like what about the whole scene.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Makes you like corny at that moment.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It is it is, it's giving imputation for and a little.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Bit and what and what like from a woman's perspective,
like going in another room and banging it out for
eight minutes when like, and it's a cheating situation, Like
what are you getting out of it?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Because that cheaters are like that they think it's like
so hot and then they got caught by another coach.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Of course, it's hot for the guy for sure, but like,
what's the woman getting out of it?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I think the women think it's hot too.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, Like well, you know a lot of women think like, oh,
he's attracted to me because his wife's so.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Ugly, like yeah, and then it's like they got caught
by somebody that's like a whole other fetish in and
of itself. So yeah, I don't know, I don't want
this guy operating on me this or he wasn't a surgeon,
he was an n STC yellowist. You get what I'm saying.
He's in charge of an important factor in the surgery.
But I guess, like, I don't know, it just bothers
(10:52):
me really bad. It happened back in twenty twenty three.
And he obviously got suspended from work and now he's
trying to go through hearings to get reinstated. Then I
think you're making questionable choices, So I don't know if
you should.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
And plus, like, I mean, we never find out about
this stuff. But it's just like, you know, when you're
going to get a colonoscarby and stuff, it's like, do
you really ever go on and look up the anesthesiologist
that's putting you to sleep?
Speaker 4 (11:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
No, I didn't even.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Know who my anesthesiologist was going to be for my
surgery until I was like there, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But like even if they come in the room and
they're like, Hi, I'm so and so I'm the anesthesiologist,
are you're gonna quickly google their name and be like, wait,
you had sex with somebody during a gallbladder surgery?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Like did you get that out of your system?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Or you know, like yeah, And you can't just be
like that guy's not giving it to me, Like it's
not like there's an endless supply of fantasy's.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's surely amazing if you're just like I googled him
and like he's not touching me.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
That would be amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I wonder what they would do in that situation. This
is why they have to suspend people, all right, This
one's horrible and Queen's This guy was going around knocking
on doors asking for help because his phone died. So
the first ended up denying him, but the second home,
which belonged to this elderly couple, let him in through
their backyard and then hours later they were found dead
and their house was.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Set on fire.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah. This I saw this story. What day did this happen?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Because I feel like it was circulating at the same
time as the Charlie kirksy.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It was only a couple of days ago. Yeah, and
I feel like it really got over.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Shit got it did get overshadowed, and I don't like
I did. I did want to talk about it because
I'm like, we should look into that. When I read
about it, I was just like, this is so scary,
especially for elderly people that have been getting taken advantage of,
like off the hook, you know what I mean. It's
just it's just really crazy, Like this is I want
(12:44):
to send this story to some of my elderly neighbors
and just be like, because there's always people walking up
our street, like trying to pretend to sell some shit
or actually selling something or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I can't believe people do that anymore with the way
people are like freaking out in general, wouldn't you just
be scared if you were going door to door you'd
get shot by somebody random?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, nobody should just be standing there with a gum
waiting to shoot someone.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That cos obviously, But I'm just saying, like, not in
New Jersey necessarily because that wouldn't happen, but like in
other states where they're more open with their gun policy,
I don't know, it would just freak me out. The
solicitors drive me fucking crazy. They always are knocking on
the door. I'll have a sign up that says I'm recording,
and they'll just keep knocking on my door and I'm like,
you don't see the giant sign that says I'm in
(13:30):
the middle of record.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And then they'll be.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Like, how's your pest control? I see some ants on
your porch and I'm like, yeah, because it's outside and
there's ants outside, thank you for interrupting my entire workday.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
They are annoying, and we live on a tight street
so it's like it's awesome because my neighbors and I
have like a group chat for our street are like
section of our street, and somebody will be like solicitor alert,
so we all are aware to not answer our door,
you know. But so, I mean, this is so scary
(14:03):
because people knock at the door like they're delivering the
mail or they're doing this or whatever. Like don't you
don't know, like who's coming to your door all the time.
I mean, I personally wouldn't answer it, but like that's
so scary. So they they were like trying to why
did they let him in the back.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I was kind of unclear about that.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't know if like it was the design of
where the house was. Maybe they had a corner property
and they saw him across the street and that was
the way. I really don't know the design and why
they let him in the back, But basically police said
that at ten eighteen am they see him go in
the back door, and then he didn't leave the house
until three eight pm, So five hours later, the house
is set on fire. When they go in the house,
(14:45):
they find the older man tied to a pole in
the basement with multiple stab wounds and then the wife
was just burned beyond recognition.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Does this guy know these people because.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He is claiming they molested him when he was a child,
But I have see no further reports on that, So.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So this is either true or it's like he's just
out of his mind and it's just saying that just
to act like he had a reason to do this.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I mean, I would go with option B that he
just threw it out there because after he like robbed
them too, so they were able to track him down
through New York because he was using their credit cards
at various locations.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Went to the movies.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
He went to how do you stab someone to death?
And set a person on fire? And set the house
on fire and go to the movies afterwards?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Is it possible, though.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That that he knew that he knew them that's why
he was getting let in the back. I'm just I'm
just curious.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's just impossibly.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But older people, I think also just want to think
the best.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
No, I totally think it could be random. It's just
if it's random, it's very very scary, not that it's
I mean, I don't know, just like I do want
to hear more about this because it and it and honestly,
if that's not true, and he's putting that out there,
like how awful because these people, these people are like grandparents' age, right,
(16:10):
so they have children that are are you know, like
my age, your age whatever, Like not only are your
parents murdered and robbed, but now there's like a rumor
going around that they raped a child, Like it's just terrible.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room guys.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Our sale is ending this Friday, September nineteenth, for twenty
dollars for the whole entire year of gross and that
comes with a this uh forensic Friday that we're going
to have this week. I'm not sure what I'm going
to do this week, but last week it was on
post mortem organ procurement. So what happens when you know,
(16:58):
we talk about usually when you think about donating organs,
it's a heart or a liver or kidney or something
like that, but there's other things that are harvested after
you die and what that looks like when we get
the bodies for autopsy.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
So check that out.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Head over to the gross room dot com now to
sign up This one is absolutely unbelievable. This happened in
New Jersey. So there's recently a fatal car accident where
the driver admitted to drinking six to seven beers before
getting behind the wheel, crashing into a pole and killing
his friend and the catches. He had a previous dui
(17:33):
offence that required that like breathalyzer device to be put
in his car, and it had just been removed three
months before this fatal accident. This person is twenty one
years old and now has two drunk driving incidents and
a murder, like he murdered his friend.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Well, this is the thing. There's a lot of statistics,
especially from organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, that say
when a person gets pulled over for drunk drive, they
have some maybe upwards of seventy five additional times that
they did it before actually getting caught. Oh, which is
(18:08):
so disturbing. So that's what makes me think that they
need to be a little bit more serious when they
catch someone, Like they're catching a woman who had a
glass of wine after work with her friends driving home.
It's just not that no, And like this guy was
drinking and driving and got that breathalyzer device put onto
(18:33):
his car and only had to have it on three months, Like,
what is the point of that?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
What is says doing?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
It's not doing anything, And clearly he didn't learn his lesson,
And I'm like, what is going on in this person's
life that they have such bad substance abuse issues at
such a young age.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Mean both times that he was caught, well, the first
time he was caught drinking and driving and the second
time when he killed someone, he had open containers in
his car, which is also just like, so it's so brazen,
like just to drive around with alcohol like that when
it's so illegal and just drink while you're literally driving.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Well, it's just like alcoholic behavior. Yeah, and clearly, clearly,
I mean listen, clearly this person had not been just
started drinking when they're twenty one, like you're supposed to.
I'd argue he probably started in his early teens and
it escalated to this point because I can't imagine somebody
having such severe alcohol abuse issues in only a year's time.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
What like, what would be the negative? Honestly, because if
you so so many times that we hear about people
who kill people in drinking and driving accidents, they've had
previous offenses. If someone got this once, what would be
the problem with just saying, like, you're having this thing
on your car for years?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And I thought the standard was here.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I thought it was at least a year you had
to have it on your car, not only a couple
of months.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I mean, because really, if you had it on someone's
car for years, it would be a tremendous inconvenience to
a person if they're not able to start their car.
So this is another question I have too. When you
do that breathalyzer, I know that it's highly sensitive and
you're not supposed to drink any alcohol because it could
(20:24):
it could give a false reading and not start the car.
So you're really just not supposed to drink, which is
not a bad thing, right, Like I guess you could
say it's trying to take away a person's rights, but
it's not.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
You just don't.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
You just can't drink and drive. That'sould just be a
rule anyway. Yes, But when let's say that guy had
it and he went to the bar and he went
in his car and blew in it and it said, okay,
we're not starting this car. Does it keep a report
of that and tell people that he was trying to
drive and couldn't drive because he was too drunk, or
(20:59):
does it just not art the car and like nobody's
monitoring that thing.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I would say the more modern ones probably have some recording,
like some data recording, don't you think maybe And do
you get penalized if you do try to get in there?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Because think about that, like if you're hanging out with
a person, because like tends to hang usually it's not
like a sober or a person that doesn't drink with
like a complete drunk person, right, So like you would
have to find someone to breathe in it to start
the car for you that that didn't have any alcohol
in their system. It would be a terrible inconvenience if
(21:36):
you actually drank a lot like to be able to
bypass it and for years that would that might take
a toll to get a person to drink less. Maybe
I don't know. I don't know what the like with
the psychology is behind it or anything. But like now,
the the guy that he killed wasn't wearing a seatbelt
(21:56):
and was ejected, which I don't understand. Why people get
in the car and don't put the seatbelt on. But
that's whatever people want to do.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But might he might have been drunk too, You don't,
yeah exactly because they didn't release that every.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
But it's just like yeah, like you're twenty one years
old and it's just like so now you're in trouble.
But like it's the same thing with with Jake Harrow
killing the baby, and like it's just like when is
it that the judges it's their responsibility too, Like you're
handing out these like candy sentences and like people are
(22:32):
reoffending all the time.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
This is what bothers me too. So they're saying people
are submitting letters vouching for his character and trying to
get him released to a substance abuse program, Like okay,
so he'll get sober and then just get drunk and
do it again. He can get substance abuse help in
prison because he murdered somebody, So how about that because
he didn't just drunk driving got caught. He killed somebody
(22:55):
because he was drunk driving and it wasn't the first offense.
It's not like he was out and made a bad
call and this was a true, true accident and it
happened he had previous offenses, he shouldn't have been allowed
to drive this time, and he did, and now somebody
is dead.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, and I feel like even the first time he
was caught, he had like empty beer bottles and whiskey bottles,
and it just seems like he, I mean, he definitely
seems like he's got some kind of a problem, because
that's not how.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah, we're not talking like somebody was at the bar,
had four beers, made a bad judgment call and got
in the car. Like this guy is seriously an alcoholic.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah, and it is.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
It's just it's just really upsetting to hear this because
so like we've talked about this a million times, the
drunk driver doesn't ever seem to be the one that dies.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
It's always an.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Innocent victim, exactly, all right. This woman is going viral
on TikTok after posting videos of her trying new fruits
in which she claims is exposure therapy for her fruit phobia.
This is like one of those cases where you're like, oh,
learn something new every day. Never heard of this fruit
to phobia. It's called fruit to phobia fear of fruit.
(24:05):
And there's also like people could have a fear of
vegetables too, And I think from a psychological standpoint, it's
like it's kind of cool, actually, how you you could
somehow just fixate on the most random, benign object and
be scared to death of it. I'm like that with
ET for example, Like a lot of people like there's
(24:26):
something about it that scares the shit out of me.
Like I if I see like, like, thank god, we're
not in the eighties and there's not that many like
toys or like t shirts with the thing on it,
but when I see it, it's like triggering to me,
like it makes me have a gross feeling inside. Well,
I was gonna say, you know, we've covered other stories
where like these people are on TikTok and you know,
like this this sleepwalking thing right where like we're like, okay,
(24:49):
that could be real, or that girl could be faking it.
That girl that gags all the time could be real,
could be faking it. You could also call bullshit on
this girl too. But the way she explains the phobia
makes think it's real because you have your ET problem
and I have obviously a needlephobia. So coming from that
place when she said quote, it feels like I'm standing
(25:09):
on the edge of a cliff and someone's threatening to
push me off. I get sweaty, it gets super nervous
and anxious, and there's this feeling of disgust that just
completely grosses me out and makes me freak out. That
is exactly how I feel when I'm in the middle
of having a freak out over being exposed to a needle.
I'm sure you feel that way with et. Yours just
a little more weird. I don't know if there's a
term for yours, but I don't think this is.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I also don't think that mine is that extreme. Like
I like, I feel like I mentally am strong enough
to overcome anything like that, even though it makes me
feel uncomfortable. But I definitely like I look this up
and this is a thing. And one thing I hadn't
even considered was the reason is is that people are
(25:51):
like scared of ingesting insects by accident, or scared of
ingesting the seeds and the seeds like growing inside their
body and shit, just like outrage, just stuff that like
most people eating fruit and vegetables don't even think about.
And there was always a thing, remember, like if you
ate watermelons, and you swallowed the seeds of watermelon was
gonna grow in your belly. It was like a joke
(26:12):
when we were a kid. And You're like, no, people
actually think that that might happen.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, And she said she's been like this her entire life.
It's not just something that suddenly sprung up when her
mom tried to change her from puraid foods a solid.
She just always had an aversion to it and she
just could never do it. And now I guess she
wants to try to fix it because she's married and
she's thinking about becoming a mother, and she doesn't want
to have a panic attack every time she tries to
feed her kids like healthy foods.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's kind of mislaughtered, so outrageous. No, it's cool, it's cool,
And she's surprised that it's getting such attention. She had
like twenty nine million views, and I'm like, no, dude,
like this is outrageous. I know this is your everyday life.
But like people are are like, what the hell this actually?
(26:59):
You know, like my strange addiction. There needs to be
a show that's like my phobia.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yes, it is such a good show.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I know, because like this is so interesting and people
probably have like really weird shit, Like yeah, I mean
there's ones called like fructophobia because it's for people specific
for fruit.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
But like what's the et on call?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Like what are all weird things that people have that
like they're just like, no, this is this is like
scary and it throws me over the edge.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I should cut this out so we could make all
the money off of this. You know, somebody else pitching it.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
But we could be the host.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
That's a perfect idea, Like I'd be interested in doing
something like that. She said she's most scared of an orange,
which I thought was an interesting thing. But the pineapple
video is funny because she's eating it and she looks
so scared to put in her mouth, and then once
she does, she admits to her husband that it tastes delicious,
but she doesn't like the texture.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Still, Yeah, it's so it's just so interesting. It's like
on the level of my strange addiction. I'm telling you, like,
people are gonna be like this is like you think
she's your age basically right, she's around your age and
she's married without kids yet, so she's like in the
same exact life situation as you and Ricky like just
(28:19):
imagine being with your husband at night and like having
these conversations if he pulls out like a pineapple and
you're like crying in the corner, like it's just it's
it's great TV.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
And like it's not to pitch this. I know we're
gonna need to pitch this seriously.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
All right, let's move on to our last story. So,
this father of seven was at one of his son's
funerals a couple of weeks ago and in the middle
of it, had a massive heart attack and died. Yeah,
this is this is so the dad didn't have any
history of heart disease and he was sixty one. I
believe in the son was forty one. So I imagine
(28:59):
that losing a child is just like the most heartbreaking
thing a person can experience. And indeed, you can die
from a broken heart. Really like that's a medical thing
that could hack. So I guess the real tragedy behind
this story is that when the sun was found dead
in July, it was on the anniversary of when his
(29:21):
twins were stillborn. So it's three generations of death all
on the you know, anniversaries or during the grievance period.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, so I don't know what happened there. I think
the sun had a history of drug and alcohol problems.
I guess the sister had thought that he had gotten sober,
but they didn't really specify what.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
His cause of death was.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
But at forty one years old, especially with that kind
of history, it's possibly has something to do with it.
So what happens with this broken heart disease? Or it's
called takasubo arteritis, that's the technical term of it. So well, normally,
when you have what you would consider to be a
(30:04):
heart attack, that's because of a schemic heart disease, or
it means that there's some kind of a block of
oxygen getting to your heart muscle. But in this case,
and usually it's coronary artery disease, in this case, it
could happen when a person doesn't have coronary artery disease
because of two different things. Number one, just hormones and
(30:24):
adrenaline could be too much release because of a high
stress event such as some a close family member, loved
one's death. It could also happen like if you get
scared to death kind of you've seen this could happen
to that there's this surge release of hormones that could
be toxic to the heart muscle, along with something causing
(30:47):
the coronary arteries to constrict, almost like not allowing blood
flow to get through. The combination of those two, they think, anyway,
is what causes this phenomenon to happen. But you hear
of it sometimes unfortunately, and so you really can die
of a broken heart, and that's likely what happened in
(31:07):
this case. It's just so sad to hear, especially for
the surviving sister.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
God that is just so terrible. It really is.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
All right, guys, Well, we have a couple events coming
up in October. On the third, we have the Wildlife
CSI at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park, and then on the twelfth,
we have the Keeping Hope, a Live annual golf Classic
where I'm gonna be volunteering and you have.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
To check out the Mother Knows Death golf cart. That's
the uh.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
You could drive around in a cute little golf cart.
I mean, the event's really awesome. It raises money for
couples dealing with IVF and it's a cool event because
you could either golf or you could go to this
dinner where there's a raffle with some fun baskets, so
always get a prize. I know our family loves a.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Basket situation, love a good basket.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It's gonna be a good dinner too. That's local to
us in New Jersey. And then the next weekend we
have Dark sand New Jersey Edison on the eighteenth, where
we're going to be doing a live show.
