Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Yeah, yeah, Welcome to Fort Fritz. I am now your
host everest of the Whiskey Myth variety, joined as always
by co host Man Daddy, Nick's bry Angela Fritz, and
one I don't know and frankly do not have the
capacity to care about her bracelets here, says Marie Marie, Marie.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I don't When the hell? Why are we shackled?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
We don't have enough problems now, we got chains?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Have you been it's been a few years.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
What's going on, dude, it's been seven exactly?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Why are we all tied up?

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Is this like a misery sort of thing going on?
Why are you keeping track of how long it's been.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Since you met? Are your shins broken yet in this scenario? Yes,
I am Kathy Bates and you are James Kahn.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh my head.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
You couldn't just have a conversation with us. You had
to do all this.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
What happened to us? Can you at least tell us
that much?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Perhaps you're familiar with the nefarious traps set by one
Kevin McAllister in the hit film Home Alone two Colon
Lost in New York.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
I do, yeah, that was the sequel, but far better
than the original.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
It is pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Anyway, I tied an ibeam up with ropes and dropped
it into your foreheads.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh my goodness, they hit all five of you at once.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
Yeah, were going to be coming down this stair well.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I set up several paint cans, and you guys dodged
all of them.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
So wow, I'm glad to drop.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
The beam missed all that.

Speaker 6 (01:37):
It was really dark.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Can I ask you this? Why are you doing this
to us? We have no issue with you, do we?

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Well?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
As you may remember if your brain wasn't so scrambled
by the swingy ibeams.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah, I am a realtor by trade.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh yeah, I do. I remember that.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Whenever I gave you my card and we had we partied,
we had a kegger.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Do realtors kidnap people like this on a yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Sale? Is that why we have a housing crisis?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
You've just keeping it real?

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, I put that on my card.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I've been researching the fort since last we met, and
I think you'll be curious to know there are delinquent
property taxes that have not been paid on this property.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
No, damn it, Angela, there's so many of us.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
How yes, surely one of you should have known to
pay your taxes.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
The other one's going to do it.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
Typical deferment of responsibility.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yes, anyway, if not paid by three years, and you'll
want to know this part, anyone could purchase the fort
The deadline is up. You guessed it at the end
of this month already.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Thank god. This month has forty nine.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Days at one telling you this doesn't have No month
has forty nine days. I've told you this like twelve times.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
All right, that's my excuse.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
You've been saying that before you get time.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Oh my god, look at that gun.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Wow, put your hands above your head.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Everyone has to do we can't.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yes, that is why it's funny to me. That funny anyhow,
point that away, desert eagle. No one uses a desert
if you play Fortnite we call it guys.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Maybe it's not even loaded.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, I got my hearing back. My father lent me
this gun. Of course, you'll know the nickel plating on
the pearl handles. He got it at Yale when he
was summering with JD.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Vans.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh that's a very manly man from Appalachia. You may
be interested Fritz as the soul trusting Okay, yes, you
know your uncle has left this to you, Felix, Yes.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And the property taxes have lapsed under your watch.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
All I have to do to take control of this
property is kill you right here and now.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Really, frankly, there's not a thing you can do about it.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
You can't kill Nick's Bryan and.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Right because you know the rest of you are very likable.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
You have to kill me because you know.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Because it's in your name, your name, I'm trying to
take it over. You owe property taxes.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Okay, so the rest are good, and so.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
We can leave you change together, chain together, just for safety.
I'm the one on the talk here, alright, you bastards,
get moving, okay.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
All right.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Over here, you've seen soggy bottom boys.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
Yeah, well I got a little bit of a soggy
bottom after you put that gun in my face.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
The shackles are very tight. Front, Everest. Where does this
tunnel lead us?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
I'm glad you asked. It leads directly to your unpaid
property otherwise known as Fort Fritz.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
At least direct where we were going anywhere on.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
Monopoly game.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Convenient way to get there.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
This is I mean, it's I'm glad we have tunnels
that we can go to where we need to go.
And I want to get back to Fort Fritz. I
want to get done with this guy over here. But
I'm a little scared because tunnels can also become catacombs, and.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Because what is.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
A tunnel except a thing that goes to underground into
a catacomb unless it goes to a wonderful metal We
can follow a lot of catacombs, just I don't know
if they're just the place you want to go, especially
now in twenty twenty four, because have any of y'all
ever heard of the Mount Dora catacombs?

Speaker 6 (05:55):
That Florida.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Mount Dora under the mountain mount Door is a splendid mountain.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
It is.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
I mean, have you ever gone skiing down mount It's
amazed you don't.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Know the mountain.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
My father's named after the mountain, and then his father
before him is named after a mountain.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
What's your dad's name?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
K two? It no, idiot, it's den.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
And you know why that is because you all peaked
at birth.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Get some bird that was hot.

Speaker 7 (06:30):
Of course, the Revenant talks when somebody's waving a desert
eagle in their face.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
So no one thing is that, you know. I mean,
we're all Floridians here, and most of us didn't know that. Yes,
there are catacombs in Mount Dora, and and it's actually
been said to be the largest underground bomb shelter sort
of thing in America. That's uh, that's privately owned, you know,
when of course the government's got entire things where they

(06:57):
control the weather. But so what happened is around nineteen
fifty five, there is a novel called A Last Babylon
and in that novel is written by a Florida man
and so it described a small town in Florida surviving
a nuclear attack. Okay, so this is that really when
the Cold War is really amping up and the Cuban

(07:17):
missile crisis is about to happen. In nineteen sixty one,
round when the Cuban missile crisis is happening in Mount Dora.
Like I said, the book was written about a small
town in Florida that was basically kind of based off
Mount Dora. So the people in Mount Dora really took
notice and so decided when since the Cuban missile crisis happening,
we're in Florida where the first.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Target Floridians were freaked out about.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Of course, how can you not be the twenty five
richest families of Mount Dora. That's like the most boring
episode of House of Dragon ever, The twenty five richest
families of Mount Dora.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
Someone just printed out like a little spreadsheet. They're like,
here they are.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
And so the twenty five richest families all threw in
two thousand dollars each, which equals about fifty teen thousand
dollars in today's money to create an underground bunker that
could house twenty five families. Yeah, like of one hundred people,
basically four people per family, and it was the size

(08:14):
basically of a large basketball court, like a inside stadium
basketball court, and each each family had their own little
room that was basically like a college dorm. They had
a common area. They had a kitchen. But it's weird
because the kitchen was just one normal stove for burner
stove for one hundred people for six months. The whole

(08:36):
plan was to stay underground for six months after a
nuclear attack. That's not long enough, No, it takes way longer.
But they're like, six months will be fine, We'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
That's probably why it only costs fifteen foul person.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yeah, this is all sounding very vaultech.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Oh, it's so full tech. They decided to keep it
completely secret. They kept it within the families. They made
sure that no one talked about it. They had everyone
that was working on it that like sixteen different workers
working on it. They all swore themselves a secret. Yeah,
it was like thank you for your work.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
It was like Genghis Khan, No one knows where he
was buried. They just built the executors.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's the craziest story.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
They were when they were doing this construction, because the
thing is six feet underground, they told everybody, oh, we're
just building a croquet court.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
That's the thing we.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
All knew for a croquet court. And they went to
the fact they actually built a fake croquet court on
top of say.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
Multi room like playing the game.

Speaker 7 (09:36):
As everybody knows, you pay play croquet in the grass,
not on a court.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
H Yeah, but I mean most people don't know that,
well I rich. Yeah, the original creator of the catacombs,
he originally said that the reason for this is because
we are social creatures, sure, and we have other families
around so in case something happens to the father of
one family that there'll be another family there to help
and take care of of them.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
And my husband is dead, can you cook hold my family? Sure?
I'm your daddy now, yeah, well a hundred.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
My stepdad.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I'm your stepdad now. But no, we've done this before.
We've done this before.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Now.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
The guy that was the main the foreman for the construction,
they offered him a place in it, and he says like, no,
just give me sixty thousand dollars because I don't, you know,
if everything goes down and my family's out of town,
I'm not just going to run in there and leave
my family. Because when you go into the into the catacombs,
they have like a two thousand pound blast door that
closes and that's it. You can't you can't really open it,

(10:41):
either from the inside or the outside. And so after
the six months to leave, they actually had a tunnel
they had to dig out that was filled with gravel
and they had to dig out. And so when you're
locked in, if your family's outside or someone didn't make it,
they didn't make it, oh yeah yeah, and that's it.
And so that's why the guy that constructed things like yeah, no, I'm.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
Not going that's also the guy that built it is like,
this is not going to stand up to a nuclear
blast decently.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
No, No, I think it would have survived. It's it
had over one foot thick walls. It uh, Like I said,
it had the blast door. They had a pharmacy that
was fully stocked. They had two doctors that would be
in there with them. They had two nurses that would
be with them, and a pharmacologist that was going to
be with them. Like they had. They had a diesel

(11:27):
generator that was surrounded, which they did. Which thing I
think I was really nice is that they put the
diesel generator in a soundproof room, you know, thinking ahead,
thinking ahead.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Didn't have ventilation.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
They had air conditioning. They had dehumidifiers, which is the
main thing because they're underground. They're underground at Florida, Florida,
and so they had them that they could remove eight
gallons of water out of the air a day, and.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
And so, like I said, they did this fearing.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
That families engineers.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
No, they just had money. It was.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Just twenty five families.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
It was twenty five family the twenty five richest families.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Okay, so would that include the government.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Of course, of course there's government people involved.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
There's the mayor.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, and they.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
All chief the fire department.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
They all kept it under wraps.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
No one.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
You know that you can't find really, but if you
want to find out exactly who funded everything, you got
to dig a lot deeper. Of course, the nuclear war
never came. It never came, but they the families kept
paying two hundred dollars a year each for upkeep, to
keep the food restocked, to keep the electricity going on,
keeping them humidity, the humidfiers going deep the fires. But

(12:33):
over time they only stayed in there. One time, one time,
all the families had had a drill, they did a drill.
They all went down there and they stayed for a
day and it worked out great.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
One day, yeah, one day, you know.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
And even they even had a closet that was a
seed bank that had all these fresh seeds in tin
cans for when they when they would come out and
they would start planning the earth and start society again,
even though six months they'll come out and die. Getting
to the point where into the seventies and the eighties

(13:07):
that other member, i mean members of the families that
were involved were dying or they're just moving away or
realizing that we're not gonna have to use this, it seems,
and so.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Won his money was going on a bank statement when passes,
like what the hell is this right?

Speaker 4 (13:22):
And so eventually they shut off the electricity, they shut
off the dehumidifiers and have just left it follow for
years and just a little few years ago. I don't
have the data on me right now, but it's unimportant.
They allowed a photographer and a journalist to go down
there and explore. Only a handful of people knew it

(13:42):
where it was, and they allowed a journalist and a
photo journalist I think if it was from Pulse magazine
they allowed to go in. They said, you're not allowed
to say where it is. We'll let you document what's
going on down there now. And it is not pretty.
And they said, they let him down there just a
flashlight and just the camera. Yeah, in turn on the

(14:05):
lights or anything, just let them in and it's just nothing.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
And you can see the you can see the pictures.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
And plus now there's a videographer that went down there
and it's just black mold everywhere. Every carpet is just
basically things are melting into carpet. You could see like
old chairs, that the chairs are smaller than they should be,
and it's just becoming desiccated at the bottom. They go
into the seed closet and it is just all the
can some of them you can still see are sealed,

(14:32):
but just more palmato bugs than any Floridian would ever
want to see. They said that every step you're taking,
you're just stepping on palmetto bugs everywhere, and that just
if you're a Floridian thinking about a room full of
palmetto bugs, it's just it's bad enough until they fly,
and then they fly.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
But so they go down there.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
There's they go into the rooms, and what's really interesting
to me is that some of the people brought with
them fancy clothes. Ye there is a there is a
ball gown that was like that's now just completely tattered.
So these people were gonna be down there, but at
least we could still defency. When you see these pictures,
it's just it's like a silent hill outtake. I mean,

(15:14):
when you get to see a kid's great house like
tilted to the side and just all evaporating into nothing,
and just the idea that these people are gonna be
down there and think six months.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, they were good. Six months.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
We're good, and we'll go up and everything well find
it's like, no, that's not how any in.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
A room the size of a basketball court. This is
the worst episode of the Harlem Globe Trowders ever.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
I think the wash I think the Washington generals can
get this one. I think they're gonna win this one.
After decades and decades, it's still down there. It's still disgusting.
It is moldy, it is roach infested. And right now
we're heading forward and we might be in a catacomb
right now.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
I am glad that there are kind of like floodlights
every now and then so we can.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Kind of they're doing that flickering thing they always do.
They always flicker, They're always the light bulbs.

Speaker 8 (16:04):
A little bit, just a little bit, such a dick,
you know, Everest, if you weren't such a sociopath, you
would be a great horror director by using all the
horror troops.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yes, my new movie about killing your own parents comes
out soon.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Friends, Yeah, who are you friends with?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
I got the script from my good pals, Lylan Eric Meninda,
good pals.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, but wrong, accuse I like how he's fearfully spinning
the gun. He's looking away and moving his body away
from the gun as he's spinning it.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
On it's a safety on. Can you make sure that's
the thing.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
There's no safety again?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
All right, let's count the bullets at least three.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Then? It's thirties. That sounds place strate exactly, And just
for that, I am going to pistol whip Fritz, don't
do that?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Why would you tell me that before you do it?

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah? Heavy, it was squish.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
That was a squishy sound.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Broke a little bit.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
It's been broken for a long time.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
That Caven was already there. Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's
always looked like that. I don't feel so bad.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
You shouldn't you should.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm reminded of a story, though, Oh are you feel bad?

Speaker 3 (20:47):
I know? It's kind of cool, though. What's the story?
Morning Glory?

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Have you guys heard of it?

Speaker 3 (20:52):
There's like blood coming out of his good.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
You guys heard of the bunker of Daniel Peckwett. Daniel
Lewis Beckwett was an only child. His mother, Linda, was
a lawyer who once worked for the government, and his father, David,
was an opera singer with.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
A PhD Indie opera singing in law, he was opera.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
He began reading as a toddler, and Linda took this
as a sign of genius. She homeschooled Daniel to keep
him sheltered, and he was never allowed to play with
other neighborhood kids unless his parents were nearby. Naturally, when
your parents are conventionally successful and also artistic, you might
expect that carries over to the progeny. And by all accounts,

(21:37):
he was a bright kid. Okay. In twenty ten, the
nineteen year old Daniel eventually left home and attended the
University of Illinois. While there, Linda died after a brief
illness with cancer after she refused treatment. Devastated, he eulogized
at the funeral and haphazard clothes, attended by a handful
of people. It was like three people, What is haphazardo?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Did you have like underwear on the outside, like a shirt,
backward visibility vest?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
His pants were way too short.

Speaker 7 (22:11):
He accidentally bought a funeral suit at the Gap kids.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I think he was so sheltered and didn't know how
to respond. His mental health deteriorated rapidly, as he was
left with a two point six million dollar trust Wow.
Now fearing death, he took to upstanding and meritorious websites
like four chan wait and spewed forth masturbatory diatribes about alienation, paranoia,

(22:38):
and delusional fantasytic right.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
On four chan. That doesn't sound like fore.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Chand that's why I said meritorious.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
That's where I get my news sounds like.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
He was expelled from the University of Illinois after using
a key logger to steal passwords from public computer labs,
hacked a professor's email account to send an obscene email,
and forced an exam to be canceled. Smart he went,
how does that smart kid with a key logger? I
guess anyone who goes there like this is back in

(23:10):
the early twenty ten. So like to check your email
or to check your bank account?

Speaker 3 (23:15):
It laws whatever you're typing.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
So if you type in your email address and then password,
that's laws.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
When he was actually apprehended by the FBI in his
dorm room, his laptop was open. Stored on his laptop
everyone's social security numbers. He went by the pseudonym ec
hacker and even did an AMA or ask me anything
on Reddit. By even his own admission, he was narcissistic
with an above average psychopathy.

Speaker 6 (23:42):
Like every Reddit nerd.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
After being charged with multiple felonies, he took a plea
deal two years probation. That's it, that's it, really wow,
So slap on the wrist. He headed back to the Bethesda,
Maryland family home after David, his father was diagnosed with
Parkinson's and needed assisted living. So now he's in this
house by himself, a two story mansion. While there, his
illusions devolved further. He started believing North Korea would soon

(24:08):
be planning a nuclear attack on the DC area and
decided to take matters into his own hands. He decided
he needed an underground complex.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
Oh much like right Now app.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Twenty one year old Aska Kaffra was an ambitious young
man who dreamed of striking gold with the next great
American app, one he called Equity Shark. Ordinary people could
use the app to invest in promising startups. We have
a bunch of those now actually, like Robin Hood for stocks.
With this business partner, they prepared to apply for a
one hundred thousand dollars grant to get the ball rolling.

(24:41):
Peter Thiel was actually interested. However, Aska was young and
still naive and might have trusted too much in the
goodness of strangers. Late one night, Eskia was on the
chat room broadcasting site Blab and saw Daniel streaming remotely
with none other than prolapsed asshole Martin Screlly, the convicted
criminal and worthless used pharma brooo. Eskia was impressed with

(25:11):
Daniel's crypto insight and generosity, and the two struck up
a friendship. While on Blab, Daniel would wear a fire
suit for like fire marshals to walk through lava basically,
and would conceal his face at all times and would
distort his voice and he would call his fans boo boo.
Eskia was impressed. He was very smart. He was a
stockbroker because of the two point six million dollars in

(25:34):
his trust fund, and he elevated that he was a
legit millionaire. I mean he got this money and he
also invested it. Daniel loaned five thousand dollars to help
with equity Shark and asked to be repaid with the
one hundred thousand dollars grant, but a series of amateur
bungles ensured no money was raised. When Escia and his
partner went out to California. They booked their flight to

(25:55):
lax and Los Angeles, not realizing San Francisco has six hours.

Speaker 9 (26:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
They then were too young to rent a car. They
had to rent a U haul. Put in the directions
to the GPS wrong. They put like drive instead of
street or avenue, and it took them out of the city.
When they realized hauled ass in a U haul, an
empty U hall going through San Francisco where if anyone
has ever been, it's hilly and bumpy. So this U

(26:22):
haul was just.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
It's impossible to drive on this.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
When they finally got to I'm assuming Silicon Valley, they
were late. They were disheveled and sweating, and they saw
they arrived in a U haul and were promptly told
this is not your time. Oh yeah, we will conduct
this interview next week. So Daniel lene five thousand dollars
to help with equity Shark. Desperate to work off the debt,
Escia asked if he could work at the supposed hidden

(26:47):
bunker Daniel routinely bragged about on blab, and by January
twenty seventeen, that promise was granted picking him up from
his family's home around two a m. Each day. Wow,
Daniel blindfolded Escia with blackout goggles and drove him for
more than an hour in wrong directions to deceive the
true location. He even put a wireless blocker in his

(27:08):
car so that when Eskia checked his phone, it said
that they were in Virginia when they were legitimately in Bethesda, Maryland.
By this time, work on the underground tunnels had already
been started by a twenty one year old man named
Doug hart Hart. Like Brett Hittmanheart's Best, there is best
was Bester of Wooden. Not related though, right, I'll be
honest with you, Nick, I wouldn't be doing the story. Yep.

(27:33):
Doug Hart carved impressive chambers with air ventilation and power himself. Yep.
They defecated and urinated in a five gallon bucket and
winched it up for Daniel to flush.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Yeah, he would.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Drop down food and water, and for weeks they slept
on a mattress accessible only by crouching. So in the
corner of these chambers they were not allowed to access
the house. They were in the basement only they were
blindfolded until they got to the basement ladder. After lowering
them in in to the entrance of the complex, a
whole in the concrete basement floor, he would lock himself
in his room and post online for hours. He didn't

(28:07):
own a phone, so Google Chat was the only communication. Oftentimes,
breakers were overloaded by the daisy chained extension cords, and
Daniel would have to reorganize power strips and flip them
over to another circuit. In the summer, Askia went back
to work, this time alone. He was asked to chisel
in an enormous chamber that led to the outside. He's like, oh,

(28:28):
thank god, I can maybe access the outside, get a
breather fresh air that.

Speaker 7 (28:32):
And also he's like, my background is apps, not digging tunnels. Yeah,
chiseling out tunnels.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
But if you're twenty one, you know this guy is rich.
I mean, wouldn't you be like, all right, what's going on?

Speaker 10 (28:42):
Right?

Speaker 2 (28:42):
I'm twenty one, I'm young, I'm gonna live forever.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
And they probably played a bunch of Minecraft, and so
just like gave the intro to it.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Inside this chamber, he was able to stand up and
walk freely. So this was massive, and this was at
least twenty feet beneath the foundation of this home. But
to get there, he had to lay prone arms above
his head like a swimmer and squirm his way through
the coffin sized entrance for over twenty minutes. No no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
No no no.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
He even texted his ex girlfriend and he's like, this
is crazy, and she's like, you, you don't need to
do this, Like this is insane. Like he's paying you
one hundred and fifty dollars a day to try to
get him to be motivated. But she's like, all of
the alarm bells are going off. He thought of he
thought of that as infantilizing him. And he's like, I
got this. This guy is worth it. He kept going

(29:35):
inside the large room. A pile of wood covered the
ceiling hole exit, but Daniel didn't want to bother with
removing it for him as he worked, because that would
just be too much time moving the wood, and then
there's a hole, and then maybe the neighbors would know.
I don't know. By September, Askia was mucking in a
flood prone tunnel. Power power went out at two thirty

(29:59):
two and morning, leaving him in pitch black darkness. Nope,
there was smoke and no airflow, but the messages weren't answered.
Daniel had fallen asleep. The next day, Daniel again re
routed power to another circuit board. By four pm, the
beeping of a carbon monoxide detector caused by power failure
made Daniel flip a circuit breaker in the basement, so

(30:21):
he went down to the basement, moving more things around
put that breaker. When that happened, a loud buzzing was
heard in the kitchen. He went up to the kitchen.
Now he too smelled smoke as it rose from the floor,
prompting a mad dash to the basement, which had grown hazy.
He sensed Askia's presence nearby, couldn't see him, and tried
to give directions to a nearby window. The lifetime of

(30:43):
parting prevented this, and Daniel ran outside for fresh air.
A neighbor called nine one one. As Daniel ran back
into the basement. The neighbor distinctly hears him saying a
very unique three syllable name, Askia. Back in the base,
an Eskia, there's a fire. The last words from an
exhausted and overwhelmed Askia are truly heartbreaking. Yo, dude, that

(31:09):
to me, that's it he realizes is he's dead.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Wow, like a dude, that's the way I want to go.
That's so difficult, dude.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Firefighters put out the blaze in sixty seconds, and in
the ensuing months, the labyrinthine maze of corridors, tunnels, and
chambers which defined the Bethesda death Trap took focus.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
Just to clarify here, so the fire that happened happened
in the tunnels, not in the actual house above ground.
It was a faulty it was a faulty wiring.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
No, it was a faulty electrical outlet in the basement,
in the basement, but that was daisy chained. So the
fire started in the basement and pumped all of that
carbon monoxide into the tunnel. Air ventilation is off, the
smoke starts filling.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
But he also started in a smoker.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
This was four pm. He also started smelling that smoke
at two thirty in the morning. Cambus chemicals and boxes,
trash and garbage blocked every square inch of the home.
The pictures from the basement are just horrific because like
there's no lights, like they cut the power, so it's
just the flash of the light bulbs. You just see
bikes and then you see people stepping like, I don't

(32:16):
know what's on the other I gotta get like this
is a six foot leap, and I hope it was
that insane.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
Seventy years of Life magazine and old prescription bottles and
wire coat hangars. Not that I've ever seen a basement
like that before.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
The bunker hole was surrounded by bikes, chicken wire, and
buckets that hugged the wall several feet in every direction
and stacked up to the ceiling. They had to do
a switchback just to get to the basement. Entrance windows
were too small to enter or exit, and they too
had piles of wood or metal grates blocking them. The
post mortem showed Askia exited from the tunnels pushed past

(32:54):
the furnace. So he said, I sensed his presence. He
was in the basement. He just couldn't get out. He
got out of the tunnels. That's insane. He exoded from
the tunnels, pushed past the furnace and was stopped by
a rolling office chair, either moving towards a fire extinguisher
or the window, as Daniel had instructed. She then lost

(33:14):
consciousness from carbon monoxide poisoning and then succumbed to the flames.
He was so close, so his father then went into
research and tried to find out what happened. The mortician
told him she opened the body bag and audibly gasped
because his body had a she had never seen it before,
a pained screaming, the.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Chicken, the ring.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
He was also completely naked, which means he probably that
entrance to get to the chamber was so tight. Daniel,
who buried both parents and had everything given to him
in life while trusting no one, was found guilty of
depraved heart murder and served less than nine years before
being paroled. The Kaffras buried their only son, gifted and

(34:06):
brilliant Ascia had nothing save his desire to make a
positive impact in the world, but whose seemingly only fault
was that he trusted too strongly in the good of humanity.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
Never do that powerful.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
The older you get, the harder it gets to trust people.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Anyway. That's Daniel Beckett. Yeah, that's what.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
About that.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Damage.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
We get so used to the really good story.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Thought.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
You all right, that's six guys still walking here too, and.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
You're gonna keep walking shuffle walk with these damn chains,
I could barely.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
I mean, if I was, you want to.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
But you don't even know anymore.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Guys, I have a harmonica in my pocket.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Hey, how are your hands free enough?

Speaker 4 (36:20):
That another pistol, lipon? That was a good pistol. That

the cheek.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
That was nice.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
He was speaking lifeless?

Speaker 6 (36:29):
How can you even.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
See that black you want to catch another desert?

Speaker 5 (36:33):
I would calm down.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yeah, that's what I thought. What what?

Broken and cst off and stream it's coming.

Out your see those doors? Do you see those doors in.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Front of us? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Their doors, their doors, large doors, encrusted with servants.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Big old snake door. Do the fort We could have
a badass snake doors and I have a bad as
I would know about it.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
I don't even know how this could exist here. Guys.

Speaker 7 (37:23):
Have you ever heard of the Swami Temple?

Speaker 2 (37:28):
That movie signs No, that's racist, by the way, and
we don't stand for that here at Fort Fritz.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
You don't stay for because your.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Nice. So guys, I'm know I'm freaking out. These these doors.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
These doors are just like the the unknown vault Vault
B of the p A Swanmi Temple.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Vault B. What the hell is vault A? Vault B
was like.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
Obviously I'm three yea oh yeap.

Speaker 7 (38:03):
Our story concerns the Hindu temple devoted to the god Vishnu,
located in their anathan Perum, the capital city of the
state of Kerala in southwest India. Basically, this is on
the west coast of the subcontinent peninsula, just above the
southernmost point. The exact age of this elaborate and wealthy
shrine is unknown, but esthimus date back as far as

(38:23):
twenty thousand years.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Oh my god, all right, but.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
The Internet is unreliable. So let's look at historical references.
And there's mentions of this temple or what is believed
to be prior incarnations of this temple, alluded to in
writings as early as the sixth century CE, and they're
also referenced in the Sangam period literature, which occurred between
three hundred BCE and three hundred CE. Even in that era,

(38:48):
the temple's repute of limitless wealth is expressed in its
common name quote the Golden Temple. The formal name refers
to the principal deity of the site, Pama Baswani, which
is a form of Vishnu.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
So Vishnu has over a thousand different names.

Speaker 7 (39:07):
But this refers to the form of Vishnu in the
posture of Anathashayana, which is a recumbent pose or a
supine pose in cosmic sleep or yogic sleep. On top
of his serpent, Mount Shisha, known as Jupet Mount.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Yes, just writing a serpent.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
No, he's literally diet.

Speaker 11 (39:33):
Yes, okay, so you know, like when you're in a
low rider and you put your seat way back.

Speaker 7 (39:40):
So Shisha known as the remainder, which is cool because
in every destruction.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
He's always the thing that remains.

Speaker 7 (39:46):
Shisha, his mount Shisha, the serpent whose five hoods held
all of the planets of the universe. For those unfamiliar
with the Hindu religion, v Shnu is part of the
triumvit of deities that is v Shnu, Shiva, and Brahma
that are responsible for all of creation and destruction of
the universe and keeping the forces in balance, maintaining the
unending circle of the cosmos. The temple is still in

(40:10):
use and is open to the public, but certain parts
are You must be a devotee of the Hindu faith
and were formal attire in order to attend. That is
doties for men and sorry for women members only.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Jackets.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Is there like a test? I give you a test.
It's like, okay, here's all the things that you know. Okay,
you're one of us.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
It's like a black tie affair.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Okay, they let Oppenheimrin.

Speaker 7 (40:36):
So the temple is still open and it's maintained by
the Trevankorp royal family since it's believed that the family
actually built the temple.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Origins remain unclear.

Speaker 7 (40:46):
It still allows Pusia's and which is sort of like
a daily remembrance ritual or it can be other for
other auspicious occasions, and it participates in multiple annual and
cyclical do holidays and festivals. But the really intriguing fact
is that the temple is the host of what is
widely considered to be the most extravagant and certainly the

(41:09):
most valuable treasure known in all of human history. And
not only that, but there are chambers hidden inside its
depths that have never been opened and no one knows
what lies behind their sealed doors.

Speaker 11 (41:25):
Yeah, the archaeologist has forced their way in yet to
ruin a culture.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Bombs come on.

Speaker 7 (41:31):
So it is this vast wealth that led to a
year's long court battle that began between the Trebancourt royal
family and the Corolla government or the stewardship and appropriation
of it. So this this court case was actually finally
settled during twenty twenty when the Trebancourt family remained in
charge due to the court's say after the dissolution of

(41:53):
the previous board, which was also headed by the family
that once maintained control. No misconduct or misuse has been
found on the behalf of the royal family, although the
investigation was prompted by missing funds from these.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Troves seventeen dollars no so.

Speaker 7 (42:09):
As part of these proceedings, five of the six subterranean
vaults that were known to exist were opened on June.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Twenty seventh, twenty eleven. It's my birthday. Oh.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
An inventory and a log of the contents were then
taken in hopes to attach a numerical value to these treasures,
as well as noting the value of these items as
historical records. These vaults they are lettered A through F.
They are all underground twenty feet below ground and to
the west of the Sanctum Santaurum of the temple that
is the place of the quote holiest of the holies,

(42:41):
you know, themost privacy.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Yeah for nerds out there.

Speaker 7 (42:49):
Liken it to in the high Jewish temples of where
the Ark of the Covenant was stored. Vault B was
left unopened, and we'll get into that a minute. But
what was documented treasure valued at over twenty two billion
dollars all.

Speaker 6 (43:06):
In modern day money.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Yes, that twenty thousand years ago.

Speaker 7 (43:09):
This is modern day money since it is a literal
horde of valuables, ranging from thrones to jewelry, to coins
to ceremonial objects. Each vault was counted separately and artifacts
were placed into groups of objects or collections. Now the
exact contents of the full inventory have not been completely disclosed,

(43:30):
but thank goodness for nosy loudmouths that have spilled the
beans on a couple of various items. From Bolt A alone,
over one hundred and two thousand groups were recovered, and respectively,
forty groups from vaults E and F, four hundred and
sixty nine in Vault C, and another six hundred and
seventeen from.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Bolt D Jesus Baker. The fall huge.

Speaker 7 (43:54):
Objects include here's a crazy list. A four foot by
three foot solid gold idol of Maha Vishnu that is
adorned with diamonds and other precious gemstone.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Wow, how can you put a price tag on that?

Speaker 6 (44:07):
You can't, You really can't.

Speaker 7 (44:09):
A cache of hundreds of thousands of Roman gold coins,
some dating bad second Central, and some of these coins
are valued at over three hundred thousand dollars each.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Damn oh, because themul Era who.

Speaker 5 (44:26):
It'd be really hard to put price tags on all
of those.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
They had different emperors, so they would cast different coins.

Speaker 7 (44:31):
Yes, well, that's actually how they feel like they accumulated
this much wealth.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
What said it was tributes.

Speaker 7 (44:36):
To kings or other civilizations that have been conquered. Yeah,
and it has all been built up in this temple.
There was a sixty six pound solid gold coconut shell
studded with rubies and emeralds.

Speaker 6 (44:52):
That is almost.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
The most expensive cocon we can provide you.

Speaker 7 (44:58):
There was eighteen hundred pounds of medieval gold coins. There
was an eighteen foot long pure gold chain among thousands
of other gold.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
Chains staring in two chains.

Speaker 7 (45:09):
There was a solid gold throne, also studded with hundreds
of diamonds and precious gemstones. That was meant for the
eighteen foot idol of the deity, So imagine for scale.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
This is not a small The deity was sitting in
that throne.

Speaker 7 (45:24):
Yes, well, once he got up from his nap, which
this specific temple, it is noted that because he was
soupine on the serpent out of his belly button is
coming a lotus flower, and upon that flower is a small.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Form. Maybe I'm just here to make all feel good.

Speaker 7 (45:45):
It's a small form of Lord Brahma, which is actually
the least worshiped deity in all of it. What this
has to do with the Hindu religion in the fact
that there was a curse put upon Brahma saying no
one will worship him. So to this day there are
really only about two temples dedicated to Brahma, while there's

(46:05):
over one hundred and eight.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
There was also an eighty pound gold veil. They love
their gold, and I mean it makes sense the silk
road right.

Speaker 7 (46:13):
There are literal sacs filled with golden objects, crowns, precious gemstones,
and objects hewn from other pressures and metals in there
as well. So and with two newly discovered vaults dubbed
G and H on Earth in two thousand.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
And four, more now there is more.

Speaker 7 (46:32):
The value of the total treasure skyrockets too, over a
trillion easily.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
Wow, somewhere Elon Musk has got a boner.

Speaker 7 (46:41):
Obviously, this is not at all just open for the
public viewing, and the temple may as well double as
a fortress in the modern day, with metal detectors, security systems, cameras,
and over.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
Two hundred guards.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Two hundred guards, some with fully automatic machine guns. It's
also members only.

Speaker 7 (46:58):
Don't forget that it is a functional temple that people
can come to worship.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
Sure, so that's not the reason that the temple is
so scary.

Speaker 7 (47:08):
The import of it may very well lie in these
unopened vaults, especially Vault B. Now there are smatterings on
the Internet saying that this vault has not been opened
since the eighteen eighties.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
That's what I saw.

Speaker 7 (47:23):
Eighteen eighties, and yet there is no account of it
being opened, nor is there any document of the contents within.
Chamber B is regarded as an extremely sacred place and
of a mysterious function.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Do they know how big that one is?

Speaker 2 (47:39):
In particular, they have.

Speaker 7 (47:41):
An English sort of of it.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
It's vast.

Speaker 7 (47:44):
So the mysterious function and this is why it has
not been properly opened is according to Indian astrologers and mystics.
This in fact is the reason that that vault was
not opened in twenty eleven when the inventory was taken
after the ritual of Devas was performed, and that is
basically the divination of the will of the gods, and

(48:04):
it told them to leave it alone.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
They listened.

Speaker 12 (48:10):
If the gods speaks, you probably should So the chamber itself,
we know that it lies behind a series of three
anti chambers leading up to the vault, which have been opened.

Speaker 7 (48:20):
And the final set of doors are in fact large
steel doors on them there are there are no handles,
locks or visible means to grant entry on the panels.
And how is it a door, Well, there's it's obviously
two rectangles that are fashioned as an entryway, but there's

(48:42):
just no door handle just.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
To treasures in the treasures can't.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Get it for you though, it's for their gun for
I haven't seen it.

Speaker 11 (48:51):
Have they used modern day technology to see that that's
actually an open space behind it?

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Like, no, they have not.

Speaker 7 (48:59):
But I think this large comes to from it being
an active religious site under the control of a private family.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Believe proof denies faith, thank you.

Speaker 7 (49:08):
So these doors are emblazoned with paintings of huge hooded serpents,
just like Shisha Congress, the amount of Vishnu and a
Yakshi which is a demonic figure of folklore said to
be guarding the chamber as well.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
That's a whole other story.

Speaker 7 (49:25):
This is where the idea of the mystical quote serpent
Locke comes into play. According to legends, during the reign
of King Marathonda Obarma from seventeen oh six to seventeen
fifty eight, the treasures were sealed metaphysically by religious leaders
using the Naga passam mantras.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Naga means snake in Hindi.

Speaker 7 (49:45):
So if you are a super nerd like Naga from
Harry Potter.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
That's where comes from. Anyway, Now gonna such snak there
you go.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
We'll talk later, Oh my God.

Speaker 7 (49:58):
Also, according to two separate accounts, one from the early
nineteen thirties and another from nineteen oh eight, they detail
attempts to circumvent the Nagabahanda Poto or the serpent lock
in order to gain access to the vault and to
plunder its riches. So, in order to gain access to
plunder these riches, those involved in the task were met

(50:20):
with throws of poisonous snakes, driving them from their home
and further entrenching the legends. The only way to unlock
the doors is said to be by having a samhus acetic,
and that is one who possesses the sidhushas, which is
enlightenment and disengagement from worldly objects. To recite mantras from

(50:40):
the Garuda Purunum, an ancient Mahapuruan text. This is basically
the equivalent of a living saint reciting word perfect texts
lost in time without mistakes in order to open these doors.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
And they're never going to be able.

Speaker 7 (50:56):
Well, several articles that I was researching this in said
there is literally no living person on this planet that
could do this today.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
Yeah, they have to say a spell and they have
to recite the spell perfectly. Kind of yeah, so does
have it Alexa that it's controlling the door that can
hear the.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
Spell being said? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
This gets really metaphysical really quick.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Also, the government and the family involved. You would have
to shut down this temple for months. India is huge,
but this is the temple everyone goes to. You can't
deny that.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
And what's inside, so like who knows open it?

Speaker 3 (51:38):
They open it?

Speaker 1 (51:38):
They have to shut down the hurricane machine for that.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Even if they do find what's inside, Like, is it
gonna be worthwhile? If you are denying someone their opportunity
to practice their faith.

Speaker 6 (51:50):
Why should be completletely empty?

Speaker 7 (51:52):
So several mysterious deaths have been linked to these surrounding
wishes to open up the temple chambers, including the original
petitioner whose claims led to the twenty eleven inventory in
the first place. Perhaps the most terrifying suggestion is the
possibility that if these doors are opened incorrectly, that calamities

(52:13):
and disasters will befall not only the land surrounding the temples.
Some devotees claim to hear rushing waters behind the sealed doors,
and it is thought that the passage connects directly to
the Arabian Sea, and then a great flood would swallow.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
All of Karate Jesus Christ.

Speaker 7 (52:29):
But also an apocalypse would strike the entire world. So
let me just say, if we got doors like this,
we should leave them alone.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
It's always a fear of the apocalyse. Everyone's afraid of
the apocalypse. Yeah, because think about it, the apocalypse happens,
we all die. We don't miss a new episode of
our favorite shows or a new sequel to our fair movies.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
And it's all.

Speaker 5 (52:53):
For I ask. Your whole thing is about fomo.

Speaker 6 (52:57):
I mean there's chest doors.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
That's great thinking.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Unopenable doors. Well, I do have something. It's a little thing.
It's a little piece of technology.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
That looks like a fat, pregnant turkey of dynamite.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
It's one of those bundles of dynamite you see from
like Buds Bunny cartoon.

Speaker 6 (53:18):
Have you been hiding that.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Where I've been hiding? You don't want to know. A
gentleman doesn't kiss and tell, so basically your dick.

Speaker 5 (53:24):
Does it have an ACME label on it?

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Yes, that is a factory in which I procured it from.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
It also looks like it has a very short wick.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
Are you sure it's.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Gonna be okay?

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Are you kidding me? It's called a fuse, idiot, don't
do this.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Don't do this, man, You're gonna kills all if you
like that thing.

Speaker 6 (53:39):
Brother, it seems like a really bad idea.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
You probably kill yourself. Do you think I didn't consider that?

Speaker 2 (53:44):
What are you doing with the fun dynamite?

Speaker 3 (53:46):
I'm going to open the three day?

Speaker 2 (53:48):
You're going to open the door with an in danger.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
We'll just take a minute.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
That's beautiful? About that?

What a flying buttress?

Speaker 3 (54:31):
A flying buttress? If you have to ask, you can't
afford it.

So do you have to disclose any properties where you
know maybe a murder happened?

So how can he answer?

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
If he's unconscious, We're not gonna be able to move him.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
I I would like to take out Felix.

Speaker 5 (01:10:02):
You ready to be into this?

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Don't trust you're listening to fortforits, you know. I think
back to my upbringing. I felt like I was not
given a chance. And I think the first time I
really realized that I could give something else a better

(01:10:26):
future was when I met schwitza cat want to see him?
I think that all changed for me. I realized that
I was her human, give her a better life. And
although she doesn't attack my hand every now and then,
if I don't give her enough salmon out of love,
you know, it comes from a good place. I just
want to be someone something, you know. And if I'm
this cat something, then that's good enough.

Speaker 15 (01:10:47):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Is it a crime to want someone there for you
when you get home? Is it a crime to not
be alone when you get home, to give your all
to a creature that doesn't have that You're saying, I
can't have my cat now, you know? Is it a
crime to visit recently dug human graves and cemeteries find
the right specimen, take the stem cells out of that corpse,

(01:11:11):
make a perfect roommate a female, but not in a
creepy way, a female who would be there for me
forever and make thousands of them, so technically they would
never die. Is that a crime? Is that on the books?
Last time I checked, it's not. And that's the only
family I have? Well, I guess technically I do have

(01:11:31):
one family member, a nephew named Fritz. I don't even
know this Fritz guy, but according to the two thousand census,
he's all I got. So I'm gonna give him everything
I do own because I do believe in giving back
to the family, you know, I do believe that there
is some trust in blood, and I hope that that
is accurate, and I hope he doesn't come back in

(01:11:52):
my face. But until then, I'm gonna give all the
love I can to Faro cats, including Switze and genetically
engineered roommates like Angela. That wall is not on the books.
So you're saying I can't have a cat. That's bullshit.
I love my cat. I love my cat.
