Speaker 1 (00:08):
Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi.
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. We have a bunch
of stories to get into with you guys today, So
let's get started with the latest of an arrest of
(00:28):
Home Improvement star Zachary ty Bryan, an ongoing investigation into
a high school coach who went missing when he was
being investigated for child pornography, some news into the legalization
of substances that are used well that used to be
considered illegal drugs, and we'll finish off with an Italian
man who was costplaying his dead mother. All that and
(00:50):
more on today's episode. All right, so this kid from
Home Improvement? Did you you didn't really watch that show? Right?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I don't like Tim He like makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Why I say?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The only thing I really like him in is Christmas
with the Cranks. But like even that movie, he's so
I don't know something about it makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
What about like the Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, I like, I tolerate the Christmas movies, but I
just don't like him that much. So, like, I definitely
was gonna watch a whole sitcom with.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Him in it. He reminds me of our friend Fell
so much, like they have the same as that kind
of humor. I don't know, I like it, but anyway,
I didn't. I just didn't like love that show. But
I feel like I saw it a couple you know
what I mean, I've seen it. I just it just
like wasn't my scene. But I mean, you see this
(01:42):
sometimes with kid actors that they just they can't get
their shit together. This guy said that it was very
even though he was on that show for eight years,
it was like really hard for him to get a
job after that.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I mean, I call it child actor syndrome. It's like
when they go crazy when they're adults.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And it but it doesn't happen to all of them,
which is interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It doesn't happen to all of them, but I would
say it happens to most.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Like it's funny when you see I'm just I just
wish they would do some kind of study or something
to see people like Miley Cyrus, you know, obviously super
successful now, Jodie Foster, like people that were doing it
since they were kids and just never really got sucked
(02:28):
into that crap.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Miley Cyrus had issues for a while and she didn't
have a Barrymore. She didn't have well Drew Barrymore did.
Miley Cyrus didn't have anything like that. She had like
a mental I don't want to say a mental breakdown.
She had a situation from the transition to Disney.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
To being an adult. Yeah, but it wasn't it wasn't
like drugs and shit like that. She wasn't like strung
out like a like Amanda bind style or anything like that.
She wasn't like a man of Bindes.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But like, I'm not gonna sit here and be like, oh,
she'd have any problems with I mean, she definitely had
a couple year period where she was like doing crazy
shit and people were used to seeing her as like
this Disney Channel star and then she was just trying
to be a regular twenty year old.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And it's a hard I understand what this.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Guy is saying that he had a hard time getting
roles after that, because it's like, Hey, you're either gonna
get type cast and play the same character the rest
of your life or people are like, oh, you're too
big to be on the show or whatever, and then
you're just like totally screwed. Sometimes getting a serious is
a curse. And the other kid that was in that show,
what was his name? Remember he played like the Lion
(03:34):
King the voice for one of the Lion King kids
sim on Home Improvement.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Who's the who's the Simba, right, the little one? The baby?
He I think he did, Jonnifer, Jonnifer.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I listen, I didn't want to it's all the time
on the show.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So I think I think one of the kids was
the original voice for Simba in the first Lion King movie. Okay,
so Jonathan Taylor Thomas or something. Okay, it's like something
like that. So what I'm saying is his brother on
the show seemed to get a little bit more successful
than him, which also probably messed him up a little
(04:20):
bit because they had kind of the same job. And
then you know, the one is I don't know if
that kid I feel like he because he was like cute,
wasn't he on like the teen beat magazines and all that. Well,
this is totally off topic from what it's not. We're
trying to We're trying to establish a base of why
this guy looks like he now possibly does myth That's
(04:41):
all I'm That's That's where I'm trying to make that okay.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So the point of talking about this today is that
Zachary ty Briant was arrested for the sixth time in
the last five years, and it's like the charges are
just all over the place. So this particular arrest was
because he violated his prior domestic violence conviction. So then
earlier this year in January, he was arrested for domestic
(05:06):
violence in South Carolina, where they kept saying the woman
in this case, which seems to be the woman he's with,
they have children together, so he allegedly or not I
guess allegedly he was convicted. He choked her, punched her
in the face multiple times, so they're saying they think
this woman is his fiance. She was also just arrested
(05:27):
with him in facing five charges for driving under the
influence shock her. So then going back to twenty twenty four,
he was arrested twice on dui charges. Twenty twenty three,
charged with fourth degree fellon the assault, third degree robbery,
and mistermeanor harassment. And then in twenty twenty arrested for
allegedly strangling his then girlfriend at an Oregon home. He
(05:49):
pled guilty in that case. The two domestic violence misdemeanor
charges and was sentenced to thirty six months of probation.
Why is this guy just getting Probation's like megalooser, So
we know from if you guys didn't listen to the
interview that we did with Jim Schmidt, who is Gabby
Petito's dad a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
One of the biggest signs that someone might end up
strangling someone to death is when they do it multiple
times throughout the relationship or in other relationships. So this
guy has gotten arrested at least twice for strangling someone,
So who knows how many times he's actually done it, right,
(06:31):
So don't be surprised if this pops up again and
he ends up killing someone because of it, because he
keeps getting released and he's going back to the same woman,
especially so she's a victim of domestic abuse. But what's
striking too is you look at so he has a
mugshot from twenty twenty where when you look at him,
(06:55):
you're like, oh, it looks like him how he was
in the show. He looks a little bit fatter, like
he just looks like a like how he would look
as an aging adult. Fast forward to this January that
you know, almost next January, but January twenty five. His mugshot,
(07:15):
he looks like what you would see when that that
that website was really famous that was called Faces of Meth.
Like he has that look of that you would see
commonly in those kinds of mugshots where you would see
it before and after and see what the drugs do
to a person. So I don't know if he's done it,
(07:38):
not confirmed, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't. I
mean that, And just like this crazy lifestyle that he's
leaving living and everything like that, I mean, it's it's
honestly a shame. The worst part of it is like
I don't give a shit about this guy, Like he's
got little kids. Apparently they witnessed him choking their mother.
Like it's just terrible. Why isn't he in jail?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And also another major red flag always is people smiling
in their mugshots. Getting arrested should be like not something
you're happy about. It should be one of the worst
parts of your life.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Maybe he's maybe he was just trying to get a
new acting gig or something.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know, he knew his mugshot. I guess was
gonna land on TMC, so it's cheaper than getting new
head shots.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's free. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
This is so fucked up. His probation set the end
in October of next year. I don't know if this
violation is going to prolong that or maybe give him
jail time. Personally, I feel like, based on all his offenses,
I think he should maybe be in jail for some time.
It doesn't seem like he's taking any of his arrests seriously,
and he's just gonna keep doing bad things, you know
(08:46):
What's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Like I was talking about this with the girls recently
because we were talking about Stranger Things and how they're
not doing any more of the show, and I was
explaining this to her with characters that are children that
sometimes they get how they get type casted into these
roles that they played, And I mean, it's kind of
(09:08):
the same when you think about Stranger Things and stuff,
Like think about seeing these kids and other movies, it's
just gonna or shows or anything. It's just gonna be
very hard to like picture them as someone else.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, the only time I've ever seen anyone from Stranger
Things being something else was Steve Harrington was in the
most recent season of Fargo last year and he was
playing John Ham's son, and I think he was a cop.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
In the show. But like it was it weird?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, it was weird because I'm used to seeing him
and I think that's the problem some of these actors
face because they're on this show that's super famous. Think
about Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter. He had such a
hard time getting work after Harry Potter because he was
Harry Potter like, and everybody's like, all anybody's gonna see
is Harry Potter. And then he ends up doing the
(09:57):
scandalous play where I believe he was naked. And then
I saw him later in this movie where he was
playing his skiphead and it was crazy because I'm like, who.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Wants to see him naked? He's so that's.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Harry Potter playing a skinhead, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, Well I was explaining that to them with like
Macaulay Culkin was a good example because I was like
that kid, Like when that movie came out, it was
just like he's Kevin from home alone, like I don't.
And what's interesting is that his brother has gone on
to become a more serious actor.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah. I mean I was just in Succession, which was huge.
He was just in a movie like, yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Wins awards, like I saw him an award show or
something like that, and you know it's just and he's
in home alone too, you know what I mean. But
he's only he's only in it for a couple minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
He's Fuller's Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's just like it's just like a it's just a
shame because kit it could go really well. It's the
same with Millie Bobby Brown. Like I don't know, maybe
for a woman it might be a little bit easier
because she could really change the way she looks a
lot more. But I think about like Mike, for example,
he's just so his face is just so like stranger things,
(11:19):
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I feel like if those kids are gonna go on
to do other work, they're only gonna be able to
be in horror esque things.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I think. I don't think they're gonna have any shortage
of work or I mean, like that show could do
spin offs and this and that. There's a lot of stuff.
I don't think that it would go bad. It's just
like a thing that you have to think about with kids,
and it's.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Just weird because it happens to I guess it does
happen to kids the most because I'm thinking of other
actors that are in big show. I mean, Tom john
Ham's on the top of my mind this morning because
of another show we listened to, Discovering something with him.
But I think of like he was in Madman, which
was this powerhouse show. He was casting this very particular
(12:02):
type of character, but then he's gone on to do
a million other things, and I'm like living in a
world where I'm like, yes, that is Don Draper, but
that is also the guy that's in Fargo playing Steve
Harrington's dad, and the guy that's in The Morning Show,
you know, Like I'm not just thinking of him only
as one being well.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I mean, and like think of someone like Harrison Ford,
for example, Like he's Indiana Jones, right, those movies were
awesome and very popular, but he also did a lot
of awesome movies, so he's he's just like one of
those people that can get away with it.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And maybe it depends on the acting ability, Like yeah,
you're acting is only so for that one character and
you can't go beyond that.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Scope and like I mean home talking about home improvement
and stuff. It was like, you know, you know when
you watch like Young Sheldon, my favorite show, and all
of the people really play a role in it that
they're like, well, you you never really watched it, right,
I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's not like I've never seen it, but I feel
like it show like Home Improvement is like so benign
that it's like it wouldn't affect him that way. You
would think, Yeah, like I don't know, Like I think
like Young Sheldon, for example, all the kids in the
show and the adults, like every person plays a role,
and like if they weren't there, you'd be like you'd
feel like something was missing. Like right, it's just like
(13:26):
because they all have like such personalities that that are
funny in different kinds of ways. Right, But but in
Home Improvement, it was kind of like the real relationship
and the real like reason people watched it was because
of the mom and the dad's interaction and even.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
The mom with the al gay or the dad with
the al guy. Like the kids were just kind of
like they're like they were boring.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Is it possible he just wasn't a good actor.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, that's why he wasn't getting blur. I was never like,
oh my god like that. It like when when I
watched Young Sheldon, Like the show's about Sheldon, really, I mean,
he's probably the main focus of the show, but it's
like the older brother's freaking hilarious and cute and charming
and like, you know what i mean. Like when I
think of Home Improvement, I'm just kind of like, eh,
(14:17):
you know what i mean, Like it's not there's just
like not the it's not really anything to them.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I do think it's more particular with children, but it
also has to do with being on these massive hit
shows like Stranger Things like Harry Potter, right, like Home
Improvements so irrelevant in some sense, Like it was a
very successful show and it had a good run and
it had big actors on it. But even Tim Allen's
(14:43):
not stuck in that he's the star of that show.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
He's in a million things. Yeah, exactly, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So I just think it's a bad extent use of
why his life didn't go the way he wanted.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
But I just think too though, with k it's just
a lot of pressure with kids because they get like
they start off very young having a job. You know,
like most most people, they they they get their first
job when they're a teenager and they work at a
pizza place or they waitress or they coffee shop, and
(15:13):
then they like move up and they move up and
they have a bunch of jobs before they actually like
settle on their career and get their job and stuff
like that. Right, they're getting like their job after six
years of college and ten years of working when they're eight, right,
So it's like if they don't go up from there,
(15:34):
then they're only going down, which is they'll be down
like to our level, you know what I mean. And
they're so they're starting so high that like if they
don't continue to keep jobs making that money, anything's going
to make them feel like a loser, you know. Yeah,
And I get and it's not good. That's why it's
it's it's a it's a chance you take that. People.
(15:58):
I mean like Millie Bobby Brown and like people love her.
They think she's like she's the star of this show
and she made all this money and stuff. But like
what if that's all that really happens for her? Is
that gonna mess with her mind?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's what I'm here, So let's talk about her for
a minute, because, like I think right now, she's taking
a break from acting because they she just got married,
she just adopted a baby, right, So I think actually,
if she separates herself for a couple of years from
Stranger Things, she might be able to go on and
have a very successful acting career because it's separating the
timeframe and she's not as fresh in everybody's minds. It's like, oh,
(16:33):
that's eleven from Stranger Things. Yeah, and she'll and and
she'll grow and mature and look different. I mean she's
she's still at that like kid stage. I know that
she's twenty one or whatever. But she's also changed her
last name to bun Jovi, well yoviy whatever the real
pronunciation is.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Listen, he's cute.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
He is cute.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
He's very cute and and like good. I don't think that,
Like I don't know why anybody thinks there's anything wrong
with that. Like she loves the guy she wants to.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I I changed my last say say about her labor either,
and she it's not like a totally irrelevant name.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I mean, hello, your your father. She's a little bit
different too, because like her, I mean, for the most part,
if you survey anybody that's ever watched that show, like
most there's a high percentage of people that think it's
the best thing ever. There's not a lot of people
(17:28):
are that, oh, that sucks, like really like so many
and it's just so many people think it's the best
thing ever. So she's always gonna be able to like
go to some kind of comic con and get and
like be a big deal even when she's she'll be
like Linda Blair.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Like, well, everybody should watch Entourage because that's like kind
of the whole storyline of the main character's brother was
that he was in this like sensationalized show and the
only work he could ever get was going to things
like comic con after and reliving that character. All Right,
we're talking about this way too long. Let's get on
other shories. A high school football coach is missing, conveniently
(18:06):
after being investigated for child porn.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, so, I guess he left his house right before
the Virginia State Police were supposed to show up to
arrest him. I don't know if he got tipped off
somehow or whatever, but he left his house with a
gun and walked into a wooded area and hasn't been
seen since, so they are looking for him. Of course,
(18:32):
you know, the hopeful thing that will come out of
this would be well, I mean, you don't want anybody
to kill themselves, but you'd rather them do that than
to hurt people. And he has a weapon, and he's
clearly mentally unstable right now, and I'm sure he feels
like his whole world is falling down because he's married,
(18:53):
he has children, he coaches this football and all of
a sudden this came out that he was soliciting a
minor and child pornography, and like, if they were going
to arrest him, that they clearly have I mean, innocent
until proven guilty, I suppose, but they clearly have some
kind of evidence because if he was innocent, like why
(19:15):
would he run?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Well, I think I think the timeline's a little different
than what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I think that.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
There was a report to the school, the school put
him on leave, and then the cops were going to
interview him that night because the not arrest the rest
water wasn't issued until a couple of days after he
went missing.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, I'm sorry, so so yeah, so he was they
were just coming to talk to him.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Basically, they were coming to talk to him and then
but like when they got there, he wasn't at the house.
And then he was last seen going into a wooded
and mountainous area near his house. So it's gonna probably
be a little hard to find him.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
See, that's this is the thing that this is the
thing that's scary though, because if he he harmed or
child porn or something with a student at the school,
that's what it seems like. Then then like, don't you
think that that child's family is scared because he's on
the loose with the gun and knows who it is
(20:16):
that reported him. Well, like yeah, yeah, like the community
in general, just like the school in general. I don't
know how I would feel right now if I was
sending my kids to school knowing that one of the
teachers is on the run from the law for assaulting
a kid in my school and has a gun with
him and nobody knows where he's at. That would make
(20:37):
me very nervous to send my children to school there. Well,
of course, what if he goes nuts and just goes
in school and starts shooting people.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well, yeah, you don't know, that's gonna happen. I also
heard on another show this morning that apparently they had
an issue with another teacher at the school with child pornography.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh, I'm sure they have an issue with all the
time at schools. It sucks. But like, listen, like people
that want to be child predators, like the best thing
to do is go teach out a school because that's
how you have access to children.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
How do you feel about this as a parent too?
So apparently the day after he was missing, the school
issued an alert to everybody saying that a staff member.
They didn't say who it was, they just said a
staff member had been put on paid and ministry to leave.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I think it's bullshit because if I got that alert
right now, I would be like, well, who is it?
Is it one of my kids teachers? Because I want
to know.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Like are they like do they not legally have to
disclose that because it seems irresponsible because.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Then what my kids last school they fired a teacher
and didn't even tell us about it and we haven't
heard it through the grapevine. So yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. And like also it's just like, so what
your kid's gonna come home from school? That day, and
you're gonna be like.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Which one of your teachers wasn't there today?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
No, that would really Like I guess they have to
disclose it. Maybe I don't know, but like think about
like if i'd just got an alert right that, like
that right now, like I'm not going to see my
kids for a couple hours. I have not like the
the not I would have in my stomach of not
being able to talk to them. And then on top
of that, like kids don't always tell if something happens
(22:14):
to them, and and like I want I need more
details about like what happened? Was it a boy or
a girl? Was it that their teacher? Like was it
somebody that my kids would never even see in the day?
Like I mean, the same thing happened at the kids'
old school, like the guy that they asked to leave, right,
it was just like he was being inappropriate. It wasn't
(22:36):
I didn't even hear about it, but when I did,
it was no one that my kids really had interaction
with because it was an older teacher, but he was
still allowed to send his kids to school there, so
he would still go there every day. I just thought
it was so weird, and I just was like this,
like this has to just be a thing in our
society that's just like not okay, and it's never okay
and we need to really be like mean and shun
(22:59):
people that do it. And his wife had gone on
social media and wrote a post that none of these
claims were true and this and that she deleted it.
So well, she deleted it because probably as the cops
have been building their case, they probably went up to
her and were like, look what we found. Look what
we found, and like obviously, like if someone said that
(23:22):
about my husband, I would be like, no, that's absolutely
not true, Like I I because you know, like people
you think of a pedophile as being somebody that's like
in a van with weird glasses that's creeping around and
asking kids if they want candy and puppies to come
into their van. Like no, it's the people that you
least expect that to the point where like lots of
(23:43):
parents say they they trusted their kid around that person
because they were so nice that they cared and this
and that, you know what I mean, Like, well.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I would say I if she I could understand if
she really didn't believe the claims were true, standing by him.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Oh yeah, I believe it too, Like, I mean, she
looks like she was living a typical suburban life with
the husband and the kids and the white pickt fence
and the football coach job, and like she didn't want
to believe it.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But if you were innocent, would you immediately go in
a wooded area with a gun?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And also if she would still continue to back him
up now knowing these claims were true, Like if the
police have presented her with evidence saying we know he
did it, and you're still defending him, You're a fucking
terrible person too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, well like that, I mean that hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
So yeah, So we'll try to keep updates on this case.
I'm sure after we stop recording this there'll be a
major break, you know, there always is always.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
This episode is brought to you by the Grossroom. So
this week's high profile death. This section we did on
Anna Kepner. If you recall, she's the teenager that was
found dead on a cruise ship recently. So we go
through the case and we discuss all the details of
the case that at least have been given to us
by authorities so far. And also we talk about the
(25:14):
autopsy and what they likely saw it autopsy based upon
what the medical examiner said was her cause of death.
So yeah, so check that out. We do a new
high profile 're celebrity death dissection every week. I don't
know who we're doing next week. Sometimes we know ahead
of time. Other times we're just like, like, whatever's happening.
(25:35):
If this guy right now ends up the guy we
were just talking about ends up dying in a weird way,
we might talk about him just like kind of stay
on top of the current events. So check that out.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Head over to the grossroom dot com now to sign up.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All right, let's talk about magic mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
All right, So New Jersey has advanced a bill to
legalize magic mushrooms. How do you feel about this?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So, I'm not against it. If it is, if it's
what I think it is, I'm not one hundred percent
sure because when they say they want to legalize things
like that, it makes me nervous that, oh, they're going
to start selling them in the weed stores, which you know,
I'm against that.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
It says adults over twenty one would have access to
the drug for mental health treatment.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, but that so, but is that for like you
can go in a store and get it to treat yourself,
or is this in it? Because if this is in
a controlled environment with doctors and therapists, I'm totally okay
with it. It just depends. So I have a funny
story about the whole weed situation though. I had to
(26:43):
take Lily into urgent care this weekend because she was
coughing a lot and she had an ear infection. And
on the way out, I walked into the waiting room,
which stunk like weed, because everywhere stinks like weed written out,
but specifically next to a woman who was checking in
at the desk, and she just like it was inner
(27:04):
clothes coming out. And to me, it's like when you
smell that, it's like they just smoked it, right, And
she's coughing and and the lady's like, what brings you
in today? And she's like, I just stop coughing, And
I'm like, is it because you just smoked weed? Like
in the car? Just say, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I smoked tweed for over ten years and I don't
think my body ever smelled like it, Like how are
people's physical strong?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It's in the car like you're it's it's just insane.
Get a vape pen jeez. All right, So so yeah,
so I guess so this psilocybin is the is the
chemical that's in magic mushrooms, And this would be in
a really controlled environment, which I'm okay with because it's
supposed to be an alternative for people, especially those who
(27:54):
have depression and PTSD and things like that that can't
that aren't getting better with routine treatment, therapy, medications, et cetera.
I think it's great if it's in this situation because
lots of studies have shown that it makes a great improvement.
And also it doesn't appear that you need that many
(28:17):
treatments of it, and when they give it to you,
it's like they're measuring the exact amount that you're getting.
You're going to be there all day getting this treatment
in a comfortable room. There's going to be therapists talking
with you throughout the time. Like if that's if that's
the case, then like I actually want them to make
this legal. I just get scared because of like the
(28:43):
rapid decline as far as I'm concerned of what's happened
at least in New Jersey as well. Where I live,
that you're just like there's now more weed stores than
alcohol stores as far as I can see, there's just
at least maybe in my area. It's just like there's
one on every corner. It's out of control. Everybody high
in driving all the time, Like it's noticeable for anybody
(29:03):
that's not high that's driving. And of course, like the
next story that we're going to talk about, which is
ers are seeing way more visits now and it obviously
can be correlated to the fact that it's easier to
get and it's a higher potency than was ever before.
So now people, I mean, we've talked about on this
(29:23):
program before about the the people that are having psychosis
and things like that with it, but also in this
particular case, we're we're talking about cannaboid emesis syndrome, which
is when you it doesn't happen to everyone, but it
happens to some people, and an increasing number of people
(29:45):
who smoke weed that they're getting this unbearing like uncomfortable
nausea vomiting that it they have a difficult time treating
because it doesn't present like a GI illness typically would,
so they don't really have any kind of way they
could give drugs to treat it, but they don't have
(30:06):
an actual treatment for it yet.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Well, speaking of the Santa Claus, didn't we cover that
the guy that was like the main elf in that
movie had this problem?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Oh yeah, Bernard, yeah, Bernard.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, yeah, I forgot about it.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, I know that we did talk about this, So
I don't know, like, and I guess it's weird because
the way that the articles written is just like, oh,
there's this new thing, new side effect, and it's like, no,
it's not a new side effect. There's been studies done
to see like why some people get it and want
why some people don't. And one of the most common
(30:42):
things that they saw in people that get it is
that it's people that use it frequently, like everyday smokers.
And the good thing is is that if you stop
smoking weed, it goes away, so it's not like something
you have forever. But if you do get it and
you still continue to smoke weed, you can get episodes
(31:03):
of it. And like you have to think, if the
emergency rooms are saying they're seeing like hundreds of percent
increase from years past, it's bad if people are going
to the emergency room because if you just had a
stomach ache, you would take a pepto and like sit
down and go to sleep, right, Like, no, it's bad
to the point where people are like, something's terribly wrong
(31:25):
and I need to go to the emergency room. And
I imagine that because you know, when you feel nauseous,
it's like the worst feeling in the world, And like
I said, they don't really have a short way to
treat it. One very interesting thing that happens is that
sometimes putting heating pads on people or letting them immerse
(31:45):
in a hot bath can control their symptoms and makes
them feel better. So that's actually one of the ways
that doctors diagnose them with this condition is that if
someone's presenting with like cause, I mean, anybody could come
in and just be like having nauge in this and
they could have like they can have Crone's disease, or
(32:06):
they could have a celiac whatever, like they can have
a GI virus, Nora virus, anything. So the way doctors
differentiate it is like if these people keep having these
episodes and then they say, well, if you take a
hot bath, does it make you feel better? And then
if people say yes, then like they're like, okay, that
and and you you're a chronic uh weed smoke or
in this and that, and then that's how they put
(32:27):
the picture together. But it's just it's just like it's
an unforeseen thing, just like everything is going to be
of a side effect that people didn't really realize happened,
just because people could get it easier.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
And the IF nicknamed it scrummating because it's a combination
of the patient screaming and vomiting while the episode is occurring.
And they're saying it's worse than childbirth, but how how
do you know, I mean unless you've had people.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well yeah, and and like I feel like I feel
like one good thing. I've always said this about childbirth,
like it is the worst pain I believe that a
human kid experience. But I mean maybe, but it's up
there with the top two or three things. Right, But
I think the one thing that makes childbirth so tolerable, well,
(33:19):
number one, you the kids coming out whether you want
it to or not, so you just have to deal
with it. But I mean, like, what are you going
to do? You have to tolerate it, right, But also
when you're in that much pain and you're in childbirth.
You know why it's happening to your body, and you
know that it's going to end when the baby comes out.
(33:40):
It's a guarantee, and it's going to go from like
one hundred to zero in two seconds after the baby
comes out.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And most people not you get epidurals.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I'm just saying though, regardless like you when you're I'm
telling you this right now because you're pregnant there thinking
you're not getting it because you might not get it
and then what like.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
That.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
There's no such thing as a guaranteed child pain free
childbirth like it's it's it's totally false. It depends on
lots of different things. If they're busy, if they're this,
they will let you. It happened to me. They will
let you deliver without an epidoral because whatever reason, they
can't get their shit together. They don't think you're as
dilated as you are whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
So like, listen, I'm fully prepared for that. I'm also
interested to see how my experience is gonna be because
my friend, who also had pretty severe endemetriosis, was like,
of course it hurt, but I kind of just felt
like I had a really bad period.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, well and listen like this. This is another thing
because a lot of people will ask, you know, oh,
do your tattoos hurt or this or that, and I'm
just like listen, Like, tattoos feel like absolutely nothing compared
to giving natural child birth. So like, if I survive
natural child birth, I'll serve I've a tattoo, which is
the same exact situation that it hurts really bad and
(35:03):
as soon as it's done, it's done. Like yeah, but
but so anyway, getting back to this, this cannaboid hyperemesis syndrome,
like you can imagine that it is very painful and
you don't really know why it's happening, and that is scary,
which makes it worse, and the doctors don't really know
how to fix you, which makes it even worse. Like
(35:25):
that to me is like, okay, maybe it is that bad.
But and you know, like this is like one of
the reasons that I don't drink alcohol because any time
that I did, I mean the rare times I did,
I got sick. And I hate that feeling. I just
hate it. It's the grossest feeling in the world when
you feel like you have to throw up, or when
(35:45):
you're throwing up, or you're just nauseous and.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Well like hangover nausea or puking from drinking is it's
it's it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
So so yeah, I could see why people say that.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
No, totally all right, we have a real life misdoubtfire
situation going on in Italy. So back in twenty twenty two,
this elderly woman died and instead of reporting her death,
her son decided he was going to dress up as
her and try to claim her pension checks. Wow, so
this gets really interesting.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
So I guess her ID.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
He was able to collect these checks for all this time,
and then recently her ID expired and in Italy you
have to go renew it in person. So he dressed
up as her, put a wag on, put a makeup,
put makeup on, goes to the agency to try to
renew the ID, trying to be her, And then at
the agency the person dealing with him was like, why
(36:42):
does this elderly woman have hair on the back of
her neck and on her hands and on her chin.
Thought it was suspicious and then ended up reporting him
and he got caught by police.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
He he like he just missed major things and he
might have been able to get away with it like that,
but especially a woman looking like you're just gonna be
like okay, cause you know, like if you've ever if
you saw something like that, you would be like, that
person is totally wearing a wig. That person's makeup is terrible,
(37:13):
Like why does it look like that? And you're just
kind of like analyzing this situation, like what's going on here?
Like and you look and you're like, looks like it's
kind of crazy because this happened in Italy, like this
would if this happened in America, which you probably could
just get like the ID without even having to go
(37:35):
in person. If you called and said that, they would
be like, oh, you're being a somethingist and whatever.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I don't even know what.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
You would be saying, you're you're against this or you're
against that, and then nobody, nobody would even do anything.
They'd be like, we can't accuse him of being that
woman of being a man. That would be you know
what I mean, Like they could sue us, and they
could this and that, and in Italy they're just like, yeah,
don't care. Like she called her employer and was just like, Yo,
(38:04):
this is a dude dressed up as a woman trying
to get these benefits, and they listened to her and
called the cops. It just would never happen here. I
thought it was interesting.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
I mean, obviously, when you see the side by side pictures,
you're like, Okay, I know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
But as a hairy person, I was like, you think
it's you don't have like pube hairs like a man
does on their hand.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
No, but I was thinking, like the last week when
we were at the doctor, like Ricky was like, oh,
I'm gonna take a video of the heartbeat right, and
like my stomach's in it. I'm like, dude, my stomach
is so fucking hairy and it's just got it's Nope,
take videos.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
It's it's hairy, like like Italian people have more hair,
like Lucia does too, Like it's just the way it is.
But but like man hair just looks different.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, it was like but the thought that like the
hair caught him. So basically, what this guy's deal is,
he's fifty seven years old, he was a nurse, unemployed.
I wonder why. So then they end up going back
to the house they find the mummified body of his
mother wrapped in sleeping bag stuffed in a laundry room closet,
and he's accused of removing fluids from her body with
(39:10):
a syringe to prevent decomp and an autopsy has been
ordered to determine exactly how she died.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
So well, I guess he was a nurse, so he
would have a little bit of knowledge as to how
to do something like that maybe, and also access to
syringes and things. I mean, clearly they saw something around
the apartment that made them think he was manipulating the
dead body. Yeah, I mean, I mean we've talked about
this a couple times of fraud like the people. Wasn't
(39:37):
there one case that a woman like brought her dead
uncle into the bank. Oh yeah, that was like that
was a great one. Another one I remember somebody cut
someone's fingertip off and was using it as like the fingertip.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah. And what's interesting is this article was saying this
is like kind of a problem in Italy where people
are dressing up as people trying to get like in
these fraud schemes or trying to get their pensions. So
I don't know if anybody's gone to these lengths, but
it's been happening and it's an issue.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah, Well, good for Italy for calling this out all right, guys.

Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi.
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. We have a bunch
of stories to get into with you guys today, So
let's get started with the latest of an arrest of
(00:28):
Home Improvement star Zachary ty Bryan, an ongoing investigation into
a high school coach who went missing when he was
being investigated for child pornography, some news into the legalization
of substances that are used well that used to be
considered illegal drugs, and we'll finish off with an Italian
man who was costplaying his dead mother. All that and
(00:50):
more on today's episode. All right, so this kid from
Home Improvement? Did you you didn't really watch that show? Right?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I don't like Tim He like makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Why I say?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The only thing I really like him in is Christmas
with the Cranks. But like even that movie, he's so
I don't know something about it makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
What about like the Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, I like, I tolerate the Christmas movies, but I
just don't like him that much. So, like, I definitely
was gonna watch a whole sitcom with.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Him in it. He reminds me of our friend Fell
so much, like they have the same as that kind
of humor. I don't know, I like it, but anyway,
I didn't. I just didn't like love that show. But
I feel like I saw it a couple you know
what I mean, I've seen it. I just it just
like wasn't my scene. But I mean, you see this
(01:42):
sometimes with kid actors that they just they can't get
their shit together. This guy said that it was very
even though he was on that show for eight years,
it was like really hard for him to get a
job after that.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I mean, I call it child actor syndrome. It's like
when they go crazy when they're adults.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And it but it doesn't happen to all of them,
which is interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It doesn't happen to all of them, but I would
say it happens to most.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Like it's funny when you see I'm just I just
wish they would do some kind of study or something
to see people like Miley Cyrus, you know, obviously super
successful now, Jodie Foster, like people that were doing it
since they were kids and just never really got sucked
(02:28):
into that crap.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Miley Cyrus had issues for a while and she didn't
have a Barrymore. She didn't have well Drew Barrymore did.
Miley Cyrus didn't have anything like that. She had like
a mental I don't want to say a mental breakdown.
She had a situation from the transition to Disney.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
To being an adult. Yeah, but it wasn't it wasn't
like drugs and shit like that. She wasn't like strung
out like a like Amanda bind style or anything like that.
She wasn't like a man of Bindes.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But like, I'm not gonna sit here and be like, oh,
she'd have any problems with I mean, she definitely had
a couple year period where she was like doing crazy
shit and people were used to seeing her as like
this Disney Channel star and then she was just trying
to be a regular twenty year old.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And it's a hard I understand what this.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Guy is saying that he had a hard time getting
roles after that, because it's like, Hey, you're either gonna
get type cast and play the same character the rest
of your life or people are like, oh, you're too
big to be on the show or whatever, and then
you're just like totally screwed. Sometimes getting a serious is
a curse. And the other kid that was in that show,
what was his name? Remember he played like the Lion
(03:34):
King the voice for one of the Lion King kids
sim on Home Improvement.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Who's the who's the Simba, right, the little one? The baby?
He I think he did, Jonnifer, Jonnifer.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I listen, I didn't want to it's all the time
on the show.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So I think I think one of the kids was
the original voice for Simba in the first Lion King movie. Okay,
so Jonathan Taylor Thomas or something. Okay, it's like something
like that. So what I'm saying is his brother on
the show seemed to get a little bit more successful
than him, which also probably messed him up a little
(04:20):
bit because they had kind of the same job. And
then you know, the one is I don't know if
that kid I feel like he because he was like cute,
wasn't he on like the teen beat magazines and all that. Well,
this is totally off topic from what it's not. We're
trying to We're trying to establish a base of why
this guy looks like he now possibly does myth That's
(04:41):
all I'm That's That's where I'm trying to make that okay.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So the point of talking about this today is that
Zachary ty Briant was arrested for the sixth time in
the last five years, and it's like the charges are
just all over the place. So this particular arrest was
because he violated his prior domestic violence conviction. So then
earlier this year in January, he was arrested for domestic
(05:06):
violence in South Carolina, where they kept saying the woman
in this case, which seems to be the woman he's with,
they have children together, so he allegedly or not I
guess allegedly he was convicted. He choked her, punched her
in the face multiple times, so they're saying they think
this woman is his fiance. She was also just arrested
(05:27):
with him in facing five charges for driving under the
influence shock her. So then going back to twenty twenty four,
he was arrested twice on dui charges. Twenty twenty three,
charged with fourth degree fellon the assault, third degree robbery,
and mistermeanor harassment. And then in twenty twenty arrested for
allegedly strangling his then girlfriend at an Oregon home. He
(05:49):
pled guilty in that case. The two domestic violence misdemeanor
charges and was sentenced to thirty six months of probation.
Why is this guy just getting Probation's like megalooser, So
we know from if you guys didn't listen to the
interview that we did with Jim Schmidt, who is Gabby
Petito's dad a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
One of the biggest signs that someone might end up
strangling someone to death is when they do it multiple
times throughout the relationship or in other relationships. So this
guy has gotten arrested at least twice for strangling someone,
So who knows how many times he's actually done it, right,
(06:31):
So don't be surprised if this pops up again and
he ends up killing someone because of it, because he
keeps getting released and he's going back to the same woman,
especially so she's a victim of domestic abuse. But what's
striking too is you look at so he has a
mugshot from twenty twenty where when you look at him,
(06:55):
you're like, oh, it looks like him how he was
in the show. He looks a little bit fatter, like
he just looks like a like how he would look
as an aging adult. Fast forward to this January that
you know, almost next January, but January twenty five. His mugshot,
(07:15):
he looks like what you would see when that that
that website was really famous that was called Faces of Meth.
Like he has that look of that you would see
commonly in those kinds of mugshots where you would see
it before and after and see what the drugs do
to a person. So I don't know if he's done it,
(07:38):
not confirmed, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't. I
mean that, And just like this crazy lifestyle that he's
leaving living and everything like that, I mean, it's it's
honestly a shame. The worst part of it is like
I don't give a shit about this guy, Like he's
got little kids. Apparently they witnessed him choking their mother.
Like it's just terrible. Why isn't he in jail?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And also another major red flag always is people smiling
in their mugshots. Getting arrested should be like not something
you're happy about. It should be one of the worst
parts of your life.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Maybe he's maybe he was just trying to get a
new acting gig or something.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know, he knew his mugshot. I guess was
gonna land on TMC, so it's cheaper than getting new
head shots.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's free. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
This is so fucked up. His probation set the end
in October of next year. I don't know if this
violation is going to prolong that or maybe give him
jail time. Personally, I feel like, based on all his offenses,
I think he should maybe be in jail for some time.
It doesn't seem like he's taking any of his arrests seriously,
and he's just gonna keep doing bad things, you know
(08:46):
What's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Like I was talking about this with the girls recently
because we were talking about Stranger Things and how they're
not doing any more of the show, and I was
explaining this to her with characters that are children that
sometimes they get how they get type casted into these
roles that they played, And I mean, it's kind of
(09:08):
the same when you think about Stranger Things and stuff,
Like think about seeing these kids and other movies, it's
just gonna or shows or anything. It's just gonna be
very hard to like picture them as someone else.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, the only time I've ever seen anyone from Stranger
Things being something else was Steve Harrington was in the
most recent season of Fargo last year and he was
playing John Ham's son, and I think he was a cop.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
In the show. But like it was it weird?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, it was weird because I'm used to seeing him
and I think that's the problem some of these actors
face because they're on this show that's super famous. Think
about Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter. He had such a
hard time getting work after Harry Potter because he was
Harry Potter like, and everybody's like, all anybody's gonna see
is Harry Potter. And then he ends up doing the
(09:57):
scandalous play where I believe he was naked. And then
I saw him later in this movie where he was
playing his skiphead and it was crazy because I'm like, who.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Wants to see him naked? He's so that's.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Harry Potter playing a skinhead, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, Well I was explaining that to them with like
Macaulay Culkin was a good example because I was like
that kid, Like when that movie came out, it was
just like he's Kevin from home alone, like I don't.
And what's interesting is that his brother has gone on
to become a more serious actor.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah. I mean I was just in Succession, which was huge.
He was just in a movie like, yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Wins awards, like I saw him an award show or
something like that, and you know it's just and he's
in home alone too, you know what I mean. But
he's only he's only in it for a couple minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
He's Fuller's Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's just like it's just like a it's just a
shame because kit it could go really well. It's the
same with Millie Bobby Brown. Like I don't know, maybe
for a woman it might be a little bit easier
because she could really change the way she looks a
lot more. But I think about like Mike, for example,
he's just so his face is just so like stranger things,
(11:19):
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I feel like if those kids are gonna go on
to do other work, they're only gonna be able to
be in horror esque things.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I think. I don't think they're gonna have any shortage
of work or I mean, like that show could do
spin offs and this and that. There's a lot of stuff.
I don't think that it would go bad. It's just
like a thing that you have to think about with kids,
and it's.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Just weird because it happens to I guess it does
happen to kids the most because I'm thinking of other
actors that are in big show. I mean, Tom john
Ham's on the top of my mind this morning because
of another show we listened to, Discovering something with him.
But I think of like he was in Madman, which
was this powerhouse show. He was casting this very particular
(12:02):
type of character, but then he's gone on to do
a million other things, and I'm like living in a
world where I'm like, yes, that is Don Draper, but
that is also the guy that's in Fargo playing Steve
Harrington's dad, and the guy that's in The Morning Show,
you know, Like I'm not just thinking of him only
as one being well.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I mean, and like think of someone like Harrison Ford,
for example, Like he's Indiana Jones, right, those movies were
awesome and very popular, but he also did a lot
of awesome movies, so he's he's just like one of
those people that can get away with it.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And maybe it depends on the acting ability, Like yeah,
you're acting is only so for that one character and
you can't go beyond that.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Scope and like I mean home talking about home improvement
and stuff. It was like, you know, you know when
you watch like Young Sheldon, my favorite show, and all
of the people really play a role in it that
they're like, well, you you never really watched it, right,
I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's not like I've never seen it, but I feel
like it show like Home Improvement is like so benign
that it's like it wouldn't affect him that way. You
would think, Yeah, like I don't know, Like I think
like Young Sheldon, for example, all the kids in the
show and the adults, like every person plays a role,
and like if they weren't there, you'd be like you'd
feel like something was missing. Like right, it's just like
(13:26):
because they all have like such personalities that that are
funny in different kinds of ways. Right, But but in
Home Improvement, it was kind of like the real relationship
and the real like reason people watched it was because
of the mom and the dad's interaction and even.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
The mom with the al gay or the dad with
the al guy. Like the kids were just kind of
like they're like they were boring.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Is it possible he just wasn't a good actor.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, that's why he wasn't getting blur. I was never like,
oh my god like that. It like when when I
watched Young Sheldon, Like the show's about Sheldon, really, I mean,
he's probably the main focus of the show, but it's
like the older brother's freaking hilarious and cute and charming
and like, you know what i mean. Like when I
think of Home Improvement, I'm just kind of like, eh,
(14:17):
you know what i mean, Like it's not there's just
like not the it's not really anything to them.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I do think it's more particular with children, but it
also has to do with being on these massive hit
shows like Stranger Things like Harry Potter, right, like Home
Improvements so irrelevant in some sense, Like it was a
very successful show and it had a good run and
it had big actors on it. But even Tim Allen's
(14:43):
not stuck in that he's the star of that show.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
He's in a million things. Yeah, exactly, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So I just think it's a bad extent use of
why his life didn't go the way he wanted.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
But I just think too though, with k it's just
a lot of pressure with kids because they get like
they start off very young having a job. You know,
like most most people, they they they get their first
job when they're a teenager and they work at a
pizza place or they waitress or they coffee shop, and
(15:13):
then they like move up and they move up and
they have a bunch of jobs before they actually like
settle on their career and get their job and stuff
like that. Right, they're getting like their job after six
years of college and ten years of working when they're eight, right,
So it's like if they don't go up from there,
(15:34):
then they're only going down, which is they'll be down
like to our level, you know what I mean. And
they're so they're starting so high that like if they
don't continue to keep jobs making that money, anything's going
to make them feel like a loser, you know. Yeah,
And I get and it's not good. That's why it's
it's it's a it's a chance you take that. People.
(15:58):
I mean like Millie Bobby Brown and like people love her.
They think she's like she's the star of this show
and she made all this money and stuff. But like
what if that's all that really happens for her? Is
that gonna mess with her mind?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's what I'm here, So let's talk about her for
a minute, because, like I think right now, she's taking
a break from acting because they she just got married,
she just adopted a baby, right, So I think actually,
if she separates herself for a couple of years from
Stranger Things, she might be able to go on and
have a very successful acting career because it's separating the
timeframe and she's not as fresh in everybody's minds. It's like, oh,
(16:33):
that's eleven from Stranger Things. Yeah, and she'll and and
she'll grow and mature and look different. I mean she's
she's still at that like kid stage. I know that
she's twenty one or whatever. But she's also changed her
last name to bun Jovi, well yoviy whatever the real
pronunciation is.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Listen, he's cute.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
He is cute.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
He's very cute and and like good. I don't think that,
Like I don't know why anybody thinks there's anything wrong
with that. Like she loves the guy she wants to.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I I changed my last say say about her labor either,
and she it's not like a totally irrelevant name.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I mean, hello, your your father. She's a little bit
different too, because like her, I mean, for the most part,
if you survey anybody that's ever watched that show, like
most there's a high percentage of people that think it's
the best thing ever. There's not a lot of people
(17:28):
are that, oh, that sucks, like really like so many
and it's just so many people think it's the best
thing ever. So she's always gonna be able to like
go to some kind of comic con and get and
like be a big deal even when she's she'll be
like Linda Blair.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Like, well, everybody should watch Entourage because that's like kind
of the whole storyline of the main character's brother was
that he was in this like sensationalized show and the
only work he could ever get was going to things
like comic con after and reliving that character. All Right,
we're talking about this way too long. Let's get on
other shories. A high school football coach is missing, conveniently
(18:06):
after being investigated for child porn.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, so, I guess he left his house right before
the Virginia State Police were supposed to show up to
arrest him. I don't know if he got tipped off
somehow or whatever, but he left his house with a
gun and walked into a wooded area and hasn't been
seen since, so they are looking for him. Of course,
(18:32):
you know, the hopeful thing that will come out of
this would be well, I mean, you don't want anybody
to kill themselves, but you'd rather them do that than
to hurt people. And he has a weapon, and he's
clearly mentally unstable right now, and I'm sure he feels
like his whole world is falling down because he's married,
(18:53):
he has children, he coaches this football and all of
a sudden this came out that he was soliciting a
minor and child pornography, and like, if they were going
to arrest him, that they clearly have I mean, innocent
until proven guilty, I suppose, but they clearly have some
kind of evidence because if he was innocent, like why
(19:15):
would he run?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Well, I think I think the timeline's a little different
than what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I think that.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
There was a report to the school, the school put
him on leave, and then the cops were going to
interview him that night because the not arrest the rest
water wasn't issued until a couple of days after he
went missing.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, I'm sorry, so so yeah, so he was they
were just coming to talk to him.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Basically, they were coming to talk to him and then
but like when they got there, he wasn't at the house.
And then he was last seen going into a wooded
and mountainous area near his house. So it's gonna probably
be a little hard to find him.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
See, that's this is the thing that this is the
thing that's scary though, because if he he harmed or
child porn or something with a student at the school,
that's what it seems like. Then then like, don't you
think that that child's family is scared because he's on
the loose with the gun and knows who it is
(20:16):
that reported him. Well, like yeah, yeah, like the community
in general, just like the school in general. I don't
know how I would feel right now if I was
sending my kids to school knowing that one of the
teachers is on the run from the law for assaulting
a kid in my school and has a gun with
him and nobody knows where he's at. That would make
(20:37):
me very nervous to send my children to school there. Well,
of course, what if he goes nuts and just goes
in school and starts shooting people.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well, yeah, you don't know, that's gonna happen. I also
heard on another show this morning that apparently they had
an issue with another teacher at the school with child pornography.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh, I'm sure they have an issue with all the
time at schools. It sucks. But like, listen, like people
that want to be child predators, like the best thing
to do is go teach out a school because that's
how you have access to children.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
How do you feel about this as a parent too?
So apparently the day after he was missing, the school
issued an alert to everybody saying that a staff member.
They didn't say who it was, they just said a
staff member had been put on paid and ministry to leave.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I think it's bullshit because if I got that alert
right now, I would be like, well, who is it?
Is it one of my kids teachers? Because I want
to know.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Like are they like do they not legally have to
disclose that because it seems irresponsible because.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Then what my kids last school they fired a teacher
and didn't even tell us about it and we haven't
heard it through the grapevine. So yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. And like also it's just like, so what
your kid's gonna come home from school? That day, and
you're gonna be like.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Which one of your teachers wasn't there today?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
No, that would really Like I guess they have to
disclose it. Maybe I don't know, but like think about
like if i'd just got an alert right that, like
that right now, like I'm not going to see my
kids for a couple hours. I have not like the
the not I would have in my stomach of not
being able to talk to them. And then on top
of that, like kids don't always tell if something happens
(22:14):
to them, and and like I want I need more
details about like what happened? Was it a boy or
a girl? Was it that their teacher? Like was it
somebody that my kids would never even see in the day?
Like I mean, the same thing happened at the kids'
old school, like the guy that they asked to leave, right,
it was just like he was being inappropriate. It wasn't
(22:36):
I didn't even hear about it, but when I did,
it was no one that my kids really had interaction
with because it was an older teacher, but he was
still allowed to send his kids to school there, so
he would still go there every day. I just thought
it was so weird, and I just was like this,
like this has to just be a thing in our
society that's just like not okay, and it's never okay
and we need to really be like mean and shun
(22:59):
people that do it. And his wife had gone on
social media and wrote a post that none of these
claims were true and this and that she deleted it.
So well, she deleted it because probably as the cops
have been building their case, they probably went up to
her and were like, look what we found. Look what
we found, and like obviously, like if someone said that
(23:22):
about my husband, I would be like, no, that's absolutely
not true, Like I I because you know, like people
you think of a pedophile as being somebody that's like
in a van with weird glasses that's creeping around and
asking kids if they want candy and puppies to come
into their van. Like no, it's the people that you
least expect that to the point where like lots of
(23:43):
parents say they they trusted their kid around that person
because they were so nice that they cared and this
and that, you know what I mean, Like, well.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I would say I if she I could understand if
she really didn't believe the claims were true, standing by him.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Oh yeah, I believe it too, Like, I mean, she
looks like she was living a typical suburban life with
the husband and the kids and the white pickt fence
and the football coach job, and like she didn't want
to believe it.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But if you were innocent, would you immediately go in
a wooded area with a gun?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And also if she would still continue to back him
up now knowing these claims were true, Like if the
police have presented her with evidence saying we know he
did it, and you're still defending him, You're a fucking
terrible person too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, well like that, I mean that hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
So yeah, So we'll try to keep updates on this case.
I'm sure after we stop recording this there'll be a
major break, you know, there always is always.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
This episode is brought to you by the Grossroom. So
this week's high profile death. This section we did on
Anna Kepner. If you recall, she's the teenager that was
found dead on a cruise ship recently. So we go
through the case and we discuss all the details of
the case that at least have been given to us
by authorities so far. And also we talk about the
(25:14):
autopsy and what they likely saw it autopsy based upon
what the medical examiner said was her cause of death.
So yeah, so check that out. We do a new
high profile 're celebrity death dissection every week. I don't
know who we're doing next week. Sometimes we know ahead
of time. Other times we're just like, like, whatever's happening.
(25:35):
If this guy right now ends up the guy we
were just talking about ends up dying in a weird way,
we might talk about him just like kind of stay
on top of the current events. So check that out.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Head over to the grossroom dot com now to sign up.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All right, let's talk about magic mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
All right, So New Jersey has advanced a bill to
legalize magic mushrooms. How do you feel about this?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So, I'm not against it. If it is, if it's
what I think it is, I'm not one hundred percent
sure because when they say they want to legalize things
like that, it makes me nervous that, oh, they're going
to start selling them in the weed stores, which you know,
I'm against that.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
It says adults over twenty one would have access to
the drug for mental health treatment.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, but that so, but is that for like you
can go in a store and get it to treat yourself,
or is this in it? Because if this is in
a controlled environment with doctors and therapists, I'm totally okay
with it. It just depends. So I have a funny
story about the whole weed situation though. I had to
(26:43):
take Lily into urgent care this weekend because she was
coughing a lot and she had an ear infection. And
on the way out, I walked into the waiting room,
which stunk like weed, because everywhere stinks like weed written out,
but specifically next to a woman who was checking in
at the desk, and she just like it was inner
(27:04):
clothes coming out. And to me, it's like when you
smell that, it's like they just smoked it, right, And
she's coughing and and the lady's like, what brings you
in today? And she's like, I just stop coughing, And
I'm like, is it because you just smoked weed? Like
in the car? Just say, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I smoked tweed for over ten years and I don't
think my body ever smelled like it, Like how are
people's physical strong?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It's in the car like you're it's it's just insane.
Get a vape pen jeez. All right, So so yeah,
so I guess so this psilocybin is the is the
chemical that's in magic mushrooms, And this would be in
a really controlled environment, which I'm okay with because it's
supposed to be an alternative for people, especially those who
(27:54):
have depression and PTSD and things like that that can't
that aren't getting better with routine treatment, therapy, medications, et cetera.
I think it's great if it's in this situation because
lots of studies have shown that it makes a great improvement.
And also it doesn't appear that you need that many
(28:17):
treatments of it, and when they give it to you,
it's like they're measuring the exact amount that you're getting.
You're going to be there all day getting this treatment
in a comfortable room. There's going to be therapists talking
with you throughout the time. Like if that's if that's
the case, then like I actually want them to make
this legal. I just get scared because of like the
(28:43):
rapid decline as far as I'm concerned of what's happened
at least in New Jersey as well. Where I live,
that you're just like there's now more weed stores than
alcohol stores as far as I can see, there's just
at least maybe in my area. It's just like there's
one on every corner. It's out of control. Everybody high
in driving all the time, Like it's noticeable for anybody
(29:03):
that's not high that's driving. And of course, like the
next story that we're going to talk about, which is
ers are seeing way more visits now and it obviously
can be correlated to the fact that it's easier to
get and it's a higher potency than was ever before.
So now people, I mean, we've talked about on this
(29:23):
program before about the the people that are having psychosis
and things like that with it, but also in this
particular case, we're we're talking about cannaboid emesis syndrome, which
is when you it doesn't happen to everyone, but it
happens to some people, and an increasing number of people
(29:45):
who smoke weed that they're getting this unbearing like uncomfortable
nausea vomiting that it they have a difficult time treating
because it doesn't present like a GI illness typically would,
so they don't really have any kind of way they
could give drugs to treat it, but they don't have
(30:06):
an actual treatment for it yet.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Well, speaking of the Santa Claus, didn't we cover that
the guy that was like the main elf in that
movie had this problem?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Oh yeah, Bernard, yeah, Bernard.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, yeah, I forgot about it.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, I know that we did talk about this, So
I don't know, like, and I guess it's weird because
the way that the articles written is just like, oh,
there's this new thing, new side effect, and it's like, no,
it's not a new side effect. There's been studies done
to see like why some people get it and want
why some people don't. And one of the most common
(30:42):
things that they saw in people that get it is
that it's people that use it frequently, like everyday smokers.
And the good thing is is that if you stop
smoking weed, it goes away, so it's not like something
you have forever. But if you do get it and
you still continue to smoke weed, you can get episodes
(31:03):
of it. And like you have to think, if the
emergency rooms are saying they're seeing like hundreds of percent
increase from years past, it's bad if people are going
to the emergency room because if you just had a
stomach ache, you would take a pepto and like sit
down and go to sleep, right, Like, no, it's bad
to the point where people are like, something's terribly wrong
(31:25):
and I need to go to the emergency room. And
I imagine that because you know, when you feel nauseous,
it's like the worst feeling in the world, And like
I said, they don't really have a short way to
treat it. One very interesting thing that happens is that
sometimes putting heating pads on people or letting them immerse
(31:45):
in a hot bath can control their symptoms and makes
them feel better. So that's actually one of the ways
that doctors diagnose them with this condition is that if
someone's presenting with like cause, I mean, anybody could come
in and just be like having nauge in this and
they could have like they can have Crone's disease, or
(32:06):
they could have a celiac whatever, like they can have
a GI virus, Nora virus, anything. So the way doctors
differentiate it is like if these people keep having these
episodes and then they say, well, if you take a
hot bath, does it make you feel better? And then
if people say yes, then like they're like, okay, that
and and you you're a chronic uh weed smoke or
in this and that, and then that's how they put
(32:27):
the picture together. But it's just it's just like it's
an unforeseen thing, just like everything is going to be
of a side effect that people didn't really realize happened,
just because people could get it easier.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
And the IF nicknamed it scrummating because it's a combination
of the patient screaming and vomiting while the episode is occurring.
And they're saying it's worse than childbirth, but how how
do you know, I mean unless you've had people.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well yeah, and and like I feel like I feel
like one good thing. I've always said this about childbirth,
like it is the worst pain I believe that a
human kid experience. But I mean maybe, but it's up
there with the top two or three things. Right, But
I think the one thing that makes childbirth so tolerable, well,
(33:19):
number one, you the kids coming out whether you want
it to or not, so you just have to deal
with it. But I mean, like, what are you going
to do? You have to tolerate it, right, But also
when you're in that much pain and you're in childbirth.
You know why it's happening to your body, and you
know that it's going to end when the baby comes out.
(33:40):
It's a guarantee, and it's going to go from like
one hundred to zero in two seconds after the baby
comes out.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And most people not you get epidurals.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I'm just saying though, regardless like you when you're I'm
telling you this right now because you're pregnant there thinking
you're not getting it because you might not get it
and then what like.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
That.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
There's no such thing as a guaranteed child pain free
childbirth like it's it's it's totally false. It depends on
lots of different things. If they're busy, if they're this,
they will let you. It happened to me. They will
let you deliver without an epidoral because whatever reason, they
can't get their shit together. They don't think you're as
dilated as you are whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
So like, listen, I'm fully prepared for that. I'm also
interested to see how my experience is gonna be because
my friend, who also had pretty severe endemetriosis, was like,
of course it hurt, but I kind of just felt
like I had a really bad period.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, well and listen like this. This is another thing
because a lot of people will ask, you know, oh,
do your tattoos hurt or this or that, and I'm
just like listen, Like, tattoos feel like absolutely nothing compared
to giving natural child birth. So like, if I survive
natural child birth, I'll serve I've a tattoo, which is
the same exact situation that it hurts really bad and
(35:03):
as soon as it's done, it's done. Like yeah, but
but so anyway, getting back to this, this cannaboid hyperemesis syndrome,
like you can imagine that it is very painful and
you don't really know why it's happening, and that is scary,
which makes it worse, and the doctors don't really know
how to fix you, which makes it even worse. Like
(35:25):
that to me is like, okay, maybe it is that bad.
But and you know, like this is like one of
the reasons that I don't drink alcohol because any time
that I did, I mean the rare times I did,
I got sick. And I hate that feeling. I just
hate it. It's the grossest feeling in the world when
you feel like you have to throw up, or when
(35:45):
you're throwing up, or you're just nauseous and.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Well like hangover nausea or puking from drinking is it's
it's it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
So so yeah, I could see why people say that.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
No, totally all right, we have a real life misdoubtfire
situation going on in Italy. So back in twenty twenty two,
this elderly woman died and instead of reporting her death,
her son decided he was going to dress up as
her and try to claim her pension checks. Wow, so
this gets really interesting.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
So I guess her ID.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
He was able to collect these checks for all this time,
and then recently her ID expired and in Italy you
have to go renew it in person. So he dressed
up as her, put a wag on, put a makeup,
put makeup on, goes to the agency to try to
renew the ID, trying to be her, And then at
the agency the person dealing with him was like, why
(36:42):
does this elderly woman have hair on the back of
her neck and on her hands and on her chin.
Thought it was suspicious and then ended up reporting him
and he got caught by police.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
He he like he just missed major things and he
might have been able to get away with it like that,
but especially a woman looking like you're just gonna be
like okay, cause you know, like if you've ever if
you saw something like that, you would be like, that
person is totally wearing a wig. That person's makeup is terrible,
(37:13):
Like why does it look like that? And you're just
kind of like analyzing this situation, like what's going on here?
Like and you look and you're like, looks like it's
kind of crazy because this happened in Italy, like this
would if this happened in America, which you probably could
just get like the ID without even having to go
(37:35):
in person. If you called and said that, they would
be like, oh, you're being a somethingist and whatever.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I don't even know what.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
You would be saying, you're you're against this or you're
against that, and then nobody, nobody would even do anything.
They'd be like, we can't accuse him of being that
woman of being a man. That would be you know
what I mean, Like they could sue us, and they
could this and that, and in Italy they're just like, yeah,
don't care. Like she called her employer and was just like, Yo,
(38:04):
this is a dude dressed up as a woman trying
to get these benefits, and they listened to her and
called the cops. It just would never happen here. I
thought it was interesting.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
I mean, obviously, when you see the side by side pictures,
you're like, Okay, I know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
But as a hairy person, I was like, you think
it's you don't have like pube hairs like a man
does on their hand.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
No, but I was thinking, like the last week when
we were at the doctor, like Ricky was like, oh,
I'm gonna take a video of the heartbeat right, and
like my stomach's in it. I'm like, dude, my stomach
is so fucking hairy and it's just got it's Nope,
take videos.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
It's it's hairy, like like Italian people have more hair,
like Lucia does too, Like it's just the way it is.
But but like man hair just looks different.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, it was like but the thought that like the
hair caught him. So basically, what this guy's deal is,
he's fifty seven years old, he was a nurse, unemployed.
I wonder why. So then they end up going back
to the house they find the mummified body of his
mother wrapped in sleeping bag stuffed in a laundry room closet,
and he's accused of removing fluids from her body with
(39:10):
a syringe to prevent decomp and an autopsy has been
ordered to determine exactly how she died.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
So well, I guess he was a nurse, so he
would have a little bit of knowledge as to how
to do something like that maybe, and also access to
syringes and things. I mean, clearly they saw something around
the apartment that made them think he was manipulating the
dead body. Yeah, I mean, I mean we've talked about
this a couple times of fraud like the people. Wasn't
(39:37):
there one case that a woman like brought her dead
uncle into the bank. Oh yeah, that was like that
was a great one. Another one I remember somebody cut
someone's fingertip off and was using it as like the fingertip.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah. And what's interesting is this article was saying this
is like kind of a problem in Italy where people
are dressing up as people trying to get like in
these fraud schemes or trying to get their pensions. So
I don't know if anybody's gone to these lengths, but
it's been happening and it's an issue.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah, Well, good for Italy for calling this out all right, guys.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
