SPEAKER_03Did we start?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we started. We started. We took six months off. Hello, everybody. It's been six months. Hello. I forgot about the podcast for a while, but all this equipment has been sitting up here and we have so much crap going on. It's working better than ever. Amy Amy finally uh got married again. So the No, that's not what happened. No. I thought you said I could say that. No.
SPEAKER_03No, not married. All right.
SPEAKER_02She's dating someone. We won't say his name because you know we gotta protect the innocent people. But that's that's the way it's been going. Trump's in he's in charge. Yep. And then uh in charge of what? Yeah, I don't know. I'm still working. Uh extra.
SPEAKER_01Not our podcast. Maybe he'll be a guest on this podcast.
SPEAKER_02You know, I'm not yeah, I don't think that that'd be such a good idea. I have great questions. I don't think that'd be such a good idea. Listen, you know what? We're uh we've been watching too much TV, uh, Kelly and I have been and we've been seeing a lot of this uh there's like a couple of things that we are starting to see too much cliche going on. Uh the one where they say, you know, whatever thing you're watching, they'll say, hey, let's split up. We can cover more ground. And they say that and then like one of them dies because they split up. But it seems like it happens all the time. We're starting to hate that, the splitting up of the of the of the group. Hey, we gotta split up. Instead of staying together to be safe, they split up and then they go to another place. No, no, don't split up.
SPEAKER_03Any horror movie ever? Right. Bad idea.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, run for the I'm tired of split- yeah. Don't split up. Don't split up. I'm sick. It's happening on everywhere. And we're like, why the fuck did you just split up? Forget it. It's done. Splitting up. And then uh also uh I've been doing a lot of uh story searching for stuff, you know? And I found little boy. Yeah. So I went all the way back. I had to find stuff that was hard to find because so many stories have been done. We're like, uh, we've all heard that one, Dan. That was so this is stuff. So I had I had to go all the way back to like the 20s, and there's a a lot of Victorian stuff that I found. I was looking at the the worst jobs for that we have, like CNA is a bad job that doesn't pay well, but but they need them, you know, stuff like that. And then one of the best starting jobs is like some kind of engineer or something like that. You said they set out like 117 grand a year or something like that. So that's all right. And then I found I found all these jobs uh that are were the worst jobs for the Victorian era. I just happened to cross it. Huh. And there's there's there's stuff that we don't have to do that these guys did. And I'm like, oh I'm curious. So we shouldn't complain, is what you say.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So shut your pie hole when when you're complaining about it. It's just not that. Oh, and then uh yeah. So but there's ten, there's there's a couple of jobs. One of them is uh a leech collector. Uh yeah, I saw that one. Uh leeches were used as a commodity. Uh so doctors used them, which I we see all the time. Yeah and uh uh and quacks using the blood-sucking creatures to treat a number of ailments that uh didn't work, ranging from headaches to hysteria. But uh the leech collectors they had to be like this human trap. And so they would go out and just let the critters collect on their legs and walk through the swamp. I'm like, yeah, that's that's a bad one. Nope. And then what do you think a pure finder is? Pure or pure? Pure P-U-R-E. Pure, pure finder. If you had to guess.
SPEAKER_03It's like a fart thing.
SPEAKER_01Oh, close. Virgins?
SPEAKER_02Uh despite No. Yeah. Virg. That was also a good guess, but that wasn't in my that wasn't in my in my my the head. Despite the clean sounding name, this job actually involves collecting dog poop from the streets of London to sell to tanners who used it for the leather making process.
SPEAKER_00Come on, man.
SPEAKER_02Pure. Dog poop was known as pure. They had to rename it, uh, and it was used because to purify the leather and make it more flexible. Oh. Wow. So yeah. Well, that makes total sense. Yeah. It was huge demand in the Victorian times, uh, and also uh horse horses for these horses for shoes, boots, set so poop was everywhere. It was on everyone. If you're wearing leather, I mean, come on.
SPEAKER_01Why you know when I've stepped in it, it's never oily, is it?
SPEAKER_03I don't think so.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah. Well, can you imagine leather? I mean, when you smell, they don't use that now. No, leather smells good. I mean, I don't know how they make it. Unless we just, you know, like smelling crap. But like I love leather.
SPEAKER_02And then there was uh let's see, we have a toasher. Uh I had no idea. Uh huge uh so London had a huge network of overworked sewers under the city. Yeah. You have a lot of poop going on. Yeah, poop is a good thing. Good thing we broke off from them. So it said the toashers made a living down in the dark sewers, sifting through raw sewage to find any valuables that had fallen down the drain. Yeah, dangerous work, noxious fumes, and don't light a match. Oh my god. Wow. Swarms of rats. Uh now here's one but never get that desperate. This is one of the few here that was not poop related. Uh the match stick makers. Now I've heard about this one. So they're made by cutting wood into thin sticks, obviously, and dipping the ends into phosphorus. Uh, and this work is constantly poop. Ooh, phosphorus. Now listen to this. In the Victorian area, this work was mainly performed by teenage girls who worked in terrible conditions often between 12 and 16 hours a day. Wow. They were forced to eat at their workstations, meaning the toporus phosphorus got in their food, leading to development, dreadful condition known as fossil jaw, whereby the jawbone becomes infected, leading to disfigurement. What? Holy Moses. Oh my god. And this was a practical.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I don't know.
SPEAKER_03That wouldn't Or they're just women in a it was just an maybe it was a light work.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Well, the ugly ones go make matchsticks.
SPEAKER_02Nobody got light work. Whoever's listening, nobody got light workers watching. And nobody's got thousands of listeners. All right. So let's see. The mudlark. Oh boy.
SPEAKER_03Is this some more poop?
SPEAKER_02From dredging through the gloop uh of sewers uh for valuable stuff instead, yeah. Instead of mostly the sewers seen as a step down from the tocher, mudlarks were usually children, oh god, who collected anything that could be sold. Rags, stuff, driftwood, any coins were treasure. Uh it's a filthy job and also dangerous. And then there's the chimney sweep. Tainy children as young as four years out would sweep chim chimney. Four years? Yeah. Uh were employed as chimney. Well, think of how small they are.
SPEAKER_01I mean, come on. But use your head model around the room. How do they know it? Four years old. Like you just hold on to this broom thing.
SPEAKER_02They would climb in the claustrophobia. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And they would use it for chimney. And then the funeral mute funeral mute. Now, this one I did not know.
SPEAKER_03Uh dead people.
SPEAKER_02So you guys see uh Oliver Twist. Um, remember the one uh of the orphans' hated early job was a mute for an undertaker, uh Mr. Sowerberry. Uh and the component uh they would uh dress in black and wear a sash uh while carrying a long cloth covered stick and standing mournfully and silently at the door of the deceased houses before leading the coffin on its processional route to the graveyard. So they just sat there. Uh and here's one that's kind of sad. I won't get into this one. This is the rat catcher, uh usually employed by a small dog or ferret. And then uh they would, of course, uh put the rats and the rat terriers into the thing and have them fight assholes. So uh Wow. Yeah, no. This one, uh so here we have the crossing sweeper. Uh let's see. They uh children reclaim an area of the street as their patch, and when a rich man or woman wish to exit their carriage and walk across uh the filth-strewn street, the sweeper would walk before them clearing the debris from their paths.
SPEAKER_01Wow. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So think of the sweeper and uh what's that game that they play uh on the ice? What's that called? Were they at the sweeper?
SPEAKER_03The sweeper and the yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02And the stone Pete's sake.
SPEAKER_03I can't think of it.
SPEAKER_01They play it in the Olympics. Ice, yes. Uh um Stone, curling, curling, there you go. Curling. Curdling. Curdling. Only not as worse.
SPEAKER_02Not as clean. All right. Uh one guess what the resurrectionists would do. Test. Test to make sure they're dead.
SPEAKER_03It's dangerous.
SPEAKER_02It's resurrection. How do you think that's what we have to do? Uh they would go uh and make cadavers available to medical schools. Uh they paid a handsome fee for delivering a body in good condition, and uh they would basically go and take the bodies from the graves. They would steal them. It's a profession uh was taken extreme by uh William Burke, uh, who were thought to have murdered uh six oh I see between sixteen unfortunates they were called back in 1827. And they would pile them up and they would use them for medical work. So that's our mental flaws for the day. I love that site. That's deep.
SPEAKER_03Wow.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, jobs, so you wouldn't think your job isn't going to work. Well, you should. Can't wait to go back to work Monday. All right, now I am going to read to you today's mystery.
unknownOoh.
SPEAKER_02Oh, we have mystery. We have three stories to tell. All right. I like a mystery story. You ready? So I'm gonna tell you a mystery story. This is a real life mystery story, and this one's taking place way back uh in the in the 20s again. We're going way back. Okay. Uh I'm gonna first I'm gonna tell you how it ends, all right? And it's important that you know that.
SPEAKER_01You're gonna tell us how it ends first?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And the reason the reason I'm gonna do that is because the catch, for the catch, you need to know the the whole story. Alrighty. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. So the colonel, a colonel got married and he also had a mistress. Oh. Shocking. And indeed, the colonel was uh just about to leave his wife for the other woman uh when his wife decided to kill him. Oh. Following me? I mean, yeah. You're following me so far? I mean, I'm really gonna tell you that. So the colonel's wife wants to do away with her husband, so she conceives a perfect crime. Now the wife will make it appear as though her husband, the colonel, has murdered her.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02And the authorities will do the rest.
SPEAKER_00Oh.
SPEAKER_02Now the colonel would be tried, convicted, and executed. And his wife would turn up later with amnesia. So she says. Amy, I'm gonna tell you why she showed up.
SPEAKER_03Tell me why, Dan.
SPEAKER_02Here we go. On one frosty night in December of 1926, a car was found at the bottom of a chalk pit in Newlands Corner, England.
SPEAKER_00Frickin' England.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, Newlands Corner, anyway. Inside the car was a fur coat that belonged to the Colonel's wife. The woman had disappeared, and the police suspected murder. Woo-hoo. The colonel was interrogated first. Where was he on the night in question? The colonel explained he was at a dinner party. What was the what was the occasion? The colonel appeared embarrassed. The dinner party was for himself and his lady. They were going to announce their engagement.
SPEAKER_03Um I gotta have a drink.
SPEAKER_02This is getting too good. Wow. Yeah, you could cool down now.
SPEAKER_03How do you get engaged with someone else?
SPEAKER_02Uh this was back in the twenties, so women's. Yes, you can do that in England. Uh so here we go.
SPEAKER_01Seattle or no.
SPEAKER_02So the colonel appeared embarrassed. They were going to announce their engagement. The detectives were like, whoo-hoo. Was the colonel at the party all evening? No. He received a telephone call from his wife. She heard about the mistress and was going to the party to make a scene. And naturally, the colonel had to go home to calm his wife. Did he? Yes. The colonel went home and no one was there, and he returned to the party. Were the colonel and his wife on good terms prior to the disappearance? Yes. Well, no, not exactly. They had their disagreements. In fact, they had quite a blowout the morning before the dinner party about the colonel's lady friend.
SPEAKER_01Oh.
SPEAKER_02The detectives decided the colonel was guilty, and if they did, you can imagine why his testimony was incriminating. And meanwhile, a force of 2,000 was organized to search a 40-square mile area for the missing body, and the authorities dragged a deep water hole near the chalk pit where the car was found. Tracking dogs and planes scoured the area. A plane back then. Why? 1920. So that's a big deal. That's a huge deal. Publicity mounted. The London newspapers called the incident the crime of the century in 1926. It's only about 26 years, so obviously they didn't. The Daily News offered 100 pounds, $8,000 in today's money for any information leading to the solution of the mystery. And who was asked not to leave town? Why, the Colonel, of course. Obvious motive, the mistress, and no alibi. Huh. And of course, Rick. Yes. Of course, Amy. You know he didn't do it. You know his wife was hiding out, waiting for her husband to be convicted of murder and sent to the galleries. You know, because I told you.
unknownSpoiler.
SPEAKER_02But here is something that you don't know. The colonel's wife had the colonel's wife had planned everything. She left the ignition key off when she pushed her car into the pit. So the police knew it was pushed and not driven. She knew to leave her fur coat in the car. It was very cold that night, remember?
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_02And when the investigators finally coat, they would not suspect she left the scene herself. Yes, the colonel's wife had figured it all out, except for one thing, Amy. What?
SPEAKER_03What? What?
SPEAKER_02There was no place for her to hide. Twelve days after her disappearance, her famous face was recognized on the other side of England. And not only was the colonel's wife well known, but she, of all people, should have been able to get away with murder. For the colonel's wife, the real life colonel's wife, was the author of fiction's most successful Who Donuts. Who was it, Amy? Agatha Christie.
SPEAKER_01What do you think of that? Oh my god. That is deep. That's a true story. Oh my god. That's how that happens. See?
SPEAKER_02Alright. I got two more. That is awesome. These are these two stories are related. Ready? Okay, one into the other. Edwin Thomas had a genius for Shakespearean tragedy, so figured we were actors. So drama critics have said, they've said this for over a century, uh, with whom might we compare him to today? Probably like Clooney and you know Chip Pacino stuff like that. During the latter half of the 1800s, in the midst of a legion of theatrical challengers, Edwin Thomas had few rivals, although he was a competent and versatile actor, this small, slight, dark man with a magnificent voice possessed an uncanny genius for tragedy. And how ironic that his own life should have been so marked by it that his fame should have been overshadowed, his spirit broken, and his reputation nearly ruined by an occurrence for which he had nothing to do with. He died with a letter in his pocket that might have set the record straight.
SPEAKER_00Might have.
SPEAKER_02Might have. Edwin Thomas made his acting debut at the age of 15. He played the trestle to his father's Richard III. Two years later in New York, Edwin took himself, uh he himself ended up playing the role of Richard III, but he was not to achieve any real acclaim until after his father's death in 1852. We're going back. As for a huge success, Hamlet, for the 100th uh consecutive nights in Boston, he quickly overcame his contemporaries, and in London he used the true text of Shakespeare, anticipating years in England. Edwin had two brothers, John and Junas, who were also actors. Neither was of Edwin's stature, although the three together gave a memorable performance of Julius Caesar at New York's Winter Garden Theater. I had no idea the Winter Garden Theater went that far back. That's a long time. That's a long time. So Edwin's brother took up the role of John, and John took the role of Brutus, which is interesting, though, that he took up Brutus John. Brutus John? Yep. Brutus. John. So I like the Brutus John. Within two years, John would quietly enter the rear box in a Washington theater and discharge his pistol into the head of Abraham Lincoln.
SPEAKER_00Oh.
SPEAKER_02So this was John's. So this was Edwin's brother, John, who killed President Abraham Lincoln. Right. So you see, Edwin Thomas' last name was Booth. And his less gifted brother was also the assassin Brutus. John Wilkes Book. So there were two murders that April 9th in 1865, and the same gunshot that sent a ball deep into Abraham Lincoln's brain somehow kind of stopped Edwin Thomas Booth as well.
SPEAKER_00Wow.
SPEAKER_02He had a hard time getting work after that. He retired from the sage to agonize this question: why? Why would he shoot president? He returned to stage many years later with an energy that characterized his earlier style. Some critics say that the quieter, more introspective manner of him uh kind of took over his acting abilities. So he carried with him to his dying day one secret uh that he didn't tell anyone, and that last one may have it was it was another tragic character from whom he confined himself, where Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello were strutting it over. Fredding had begun, and the letter had made a difference. It was a letter uh of thanks for an act of courage at the peak of Edwin Booth's career. The actor was waiting on the station platform in Jersey City to board a train one evening when suddenly the coach he uh was about to enter had a jolt, and Edwin turned around and saw a young man uh pressed by the crowd, and he had lost his footing and fallen uh between the station platform and the moving train. You remember that? Edwin locked one leg around the railing and with the other hand grabbed the body and grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him back to safety. And after sighs of relief were exchanged, the boy uh and uh and his rescuer had parted ways. He shook the actor's hand and expressed his gratitude. Edward smiled and walked away. Now, Edwin did not recognize the boy he saved. He found out several weeks later, in a letter from uh General Adams Boudot, Chief Secretary to Ulysses Grant, he uh carried his letter to the grave. And it was as if by some tipping of the scales that Edwin had been spared. Uh, he had spared the son of his brother's victim. And while one brother had killed the president, the other one had saved the life of the president's son, Robert Todd Lincoln. Wow. Wow. That's deep, man.
unknownWow.
SPEAKER_02I'm exhausted.
SPEAKER_03It's such weird how that works out. Like I know.
SPEAKER_02It's crazy, right? Mystery solved. Last one. Now these two stories are related. Are you ready? Oh, the one you just told.
SPEAKER_01The one I just told. Okay. And this next one. All right. I thought there were two in that one.
SPEAKER_02I have to learn how to process the order. This one and the last one are related. Gotcha. Two couples went out for the evening. Again, remember, we're in the same time period. There was a dinner and a show, and there was some kind of madness in the air or so. Oh. One couple was married and the other engaged, and while the marriage of the first was not without turmoil, the union of the second was the most promising indeed until madness struck. Once upon a time, two couples went out for the evening, and in much the same way couples do everywhere they go, uh it's going to be an interesting story. There was a dinner, a show, and perhaps even some madness in there. For how else could we explain what happened? Let's take the four of them one at a time. One was the actor, uh, was a relative of uh Basil Rathbone. Now, Basil Rathbone, the reason I ate this interesting, he was the uh the old black and white uh Sherlock Holmes. Like when you go back to look at the Sherlock and white, I see. The black and white version of Sherlock, yeah. Yeah. Major Henry Rathbone was related to him, intelligent and honest, and a good army officer, as far as we know, and any predisposition to violence he might have had might have ended with him in the military. Major Henry's companion uh for the evening was his fiancee, Clara Harris, an attractive gentlewoman. Uh, she one day uh married the Major despite what happened that night. Third in the party was Mary, a high spirited, quick witted, well educated. Uh Mary came from a distinguished family, and some of her relatives frowned on the man she had married. Right? Even and even he. From time to time, doubted that uh any man would want to could even make Mary happy. She was a bit of a difficult woman. And nevertheless, they had been engaged, broke it off, became engaged again, and then finally got married. All right? They had four children, only one of whom survived to adulthood. And though Mary and her husband seemed truly in love with each other, their marriage was often cursed by hectic quarrels and unfounded jealousies. And then one day, Mary started to suffer from uh reoccurring headaches, fits of temper, and a sense of insecurity and loneless, and was intensified by her husband's long absences as a lawyer. He was a lawyer. And although it is not meant to suggest that the creepy madness that had begun that night began with Mary. She was later certified insane. Oh for once upon a time. Certified? Certified. Yeah. Back then, who knows what they did.
SPEAKER_01Well, it probably was easier to beat.
SPEAKER_02For once upon a time, the two couples went out together. There must have been some kind of madness in the air. Major Henry eventually married Clara and shortly thereafter, in a fit of inexplicable rage, murdered her. And and on the very evening the four shared each other's company, Mary's husband was killed in cold blood by a man who was decidedly insane. No relation. Just happened. What the fuck? And that man, that man that murdered him, was gunned down by another who also went mad.
SPEAKER_00What? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02What is with the madness attracts? Yeah. And that's all we know about that couple and those two couples. So all four of them shot each other. Now, if that were that wasn't enough, perhaps it it might linger still. For the two couples went out together that night in Washington, D.C. in 1865 for a dinner and a show at Ford's Theater where Lincoln was shot. Oh. What happened that day, Mike? That is they all connected. I was just like, look at first.
SPEAKER_01That's insane.
SPEAKER_02That is nuts, right? Like, literally.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Oh my God. I couldn't believe it. I'm like, listen. Wow.
SPEAKER_00That's crazy crazy.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's a good way to start the show, I think. Yeah. Amy, let's do some sports, shall we?
SPEAKER_00Oh my god. Sports.
SPEAKER_02Woo! Sports. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Ooh.
SPEAKER_02Oh, nice. Amy gets music intro.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03All right. Well, we all know we had the big NFL draft at Green Bay. God, that was awesome. Last week it was super amazing. I was there.
SPEAKER_01You were like a crazy crowd.
SPEAKER_02It was awesome. You guys were crazy. I heard they had like four times the population of Green Bay in that area. Correct. Is that correct?
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03It's it was nuts. And it's, you know, four days straight.
SPEAKER_01So how was the uh how was the how were the roads and everything? Because I know after a game, it's insane to get out of there. Not bad.
SPEAKER_03No, we got there decent. We parked decent. I mean, we had to walk a little bit, but we we had free parking. They were charging $100 for parking on people's lawns.
SPEAKER_02Oh for those people. $100. Why not, man?
SPEAKER_03We almost took one guy was doing $100 plus you got a brat. So we almost did that. But we found a free parking spot. So we parked for free.
SPEAKER_01A free parking spot? Yeah, yeah. You how did you find a free parking spot?
SPEAKER_03That's a couple roads over.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, that's that's golden. Out of 600,000 people, you got a free parking spot.
SPEAKER_02She knows a few.
SPEAKER_01Wow.
SPEAKER_03$100. Like, dude. But yeah. But it was good. And then um Yeah, we saw everyone had t-shirts from every NFL team. The last the last team I found was the Jets.
SPEAKER_01Oh, wow.
SPEAKER_03And somebody, the guy had the balls to wear an Aaron Rodgers shirt from the Jets at Lambeau.
SPEAKER_01That's funny. That's actually funny.
SPEAKER_03But otherwise, yeah, we we saw um shirts and every team was represented. It was a good thing. That's amazing. Yeah. Good for Green Bay to have that, though. Yeah. It was a good time.
SPEAKER_01That's a that's a good thing for that small market town.
SPEAKER_03Yep.
SPEAKER_01For that.
SPEAKER_00What are you trying to say?
SPEAKER_01Money.
SPEAKER_02Well, small market. Yeah. What else is in Green Bay other than the Packers? Is there anything else that they're known for? Or is that Green Bay? That's pretty much it. University.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay. UWGB.
SPEAKER_03Basketball. They got good basketball there.
SPEAKER_01Good restaurants.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I like the hotel downtown. What is it?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I mean It's not much more, but yeah. Well, we could go on for seconds. Casinos. Yeah. It's super fun. The airport. Yeah. Yeah. You've got to come and go somehow. Let me tell you something. You got cover charge. You got squappers. Oh no, I know what that is. No.
SPEAKER_03Oh.
SPEAKER_01Flappies. It should be flappy. That's closed.
SPEAKER_03But anyway, draft went well. Everything went smooth. Brad Paisley was the big uh closer show on Saturday night.
SPEAKER_01Oh, nice.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. All the guys. Clay Matthews showed up. Jordy Nelson was there. Yeah. It was fun.
SPEAKER_01Come back and say hi.
SPEAKER_03But yeah. And then our number one draft pick, obviously, from the first round was Matthew Golden.
SPEAKER_02What does he do?
SPEAKER_03He's a wide receiver. Yeah. They showed like films from him and holy moly. He had so many one-handed catch. I'm like, heck yeah. And then he intercepted stuff. Like, yeah, bring him on the team. I'm excited.
SPEAKER_01What college did he come from?
SPEAKER_03Texas.
SPEAKER_01I was gonna say they were making a lot of uh comparisons with him and uh the old giant guy, Odell Beckham. Oh, yeah. In his height. His prime, yeah.
SPEAKER_03So yeah, I think we got a lot of different picks. We got some stuff for offensive line, we got a couple wide receivers, a couple edges. And then then there was the whole scandal with Shudor Sanders.
SPEAKER_01Oh, jeez. Oops.
SPEAKER_03That was like a big thing.
SPEAKER_01It was not me. I did not call any of those NFL players, by the way, and pretended to that they got.
SPEAKER_03But even before that, like it's kind of funny, but it's a little bit the fifth round to the Browns.
SPEAKER_01Fifth round. Yeah. And he was picked like maybe to go second.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I'm not knowing anything about how this works. Is there less money the more rounds you go in? How does it work? It can be millions.
SPEAKER_03But yeah, but uh to give credit, like that they a lot of teams didn't need quarterbacks either. So I mean but it's Deion Sanders' kid. That's why I was a big to-do.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So right it was kind of a whatever after that.
SPEAKER_01So why do you think they didn't get it? Because you it was the father package, right? I think I think that didn't help.
SPEAKER_03I mean, that doesn't help. No. Because you know he's gonna be there and he's gonna be like, Why is my kid not playing in the whole nine yards? Like we're back in high school. Like I don't know. And then you get the whole and then the kid kind of has I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Not that the kid didn't make a million dollars in college anyway, because they can do that now.

SPEAKER_03They were right in front of their goal and they were trying to get it out, and I don't know if it deflected off of his hockey stick or whatever, but he like flicked it and it went into their own goal, and then the avalanche took the lead. Did they actually won?
SPEAKER_02They won because of the oh God, that guy's never gonna live. He's done forever. He's gonna have to end up playing golf. Sitting with him until the end of time. The water boy. Yep.

SPEAKER_01Gonna spend his whole life paying for it and probably. He didn't get knocked out though yet, right?
SPEAKER_03No, they're still in the series. Okay, but they didn't get eliminated because they're not going to be able to get eliminated, but but if they do, they're gonna blame that for sure.

SPEAKER_01You know, with that 0-4 start, I'm actually very impressed that they have. But you know, I tend to look at that. It's a it's a perfect Euchre. Because that would be, you know, we'd expect that. A Euchre passes away. Yeah. And they're gonna come out stumbling and laughing about it.
SPEAKER_03Well, I wasn't laughing, but it's like a million games. I would rather lose in the beginning and then and hit the streak at the end. I mean, that's kind of what hot when it counts. Right. Because you want to kind of whatever, and then you get you want to get hot after the all-star game. I think.
SPEAKER_01Right. I agree. We should all go to a baseball game.
SPEAKER_03That would be fun.
SPEAKER_01Nice and relaxing. Yeah. It's one of the more relaxing. We should podcast from the baseball game. There's a guy. I think we should they'd let us throw out the pitch if we say that.

But so autobrewery syndrome, also known as the gut fermentation syndrome, is a strange medical condition where a person experiences intoxication from alcohol through abnormal gut fermentation. So he just brews beer in his gut? Yes. Yes, in the small intestines. It is caused by an overgrowth of a specific types of fungi. Fungus.
SPEAKER_03Fungus in your small intestines.
SPEAKER_01So you eat something and this fungus just creates alcohol and you get drunk. You get worse. Wow. The gut produces alcohol out of regular food and drinks containing carbohydrates, yeast, or bacteria that thrive in that part of the body. God, if they would have found that again in London, they would have disgusted it. It would have been yeah. Would have been normal. Symptoms include, just for those are are wondering if you have this or not, aches and pains, including in the stomach, which you know we all have. I mean, we all got that. Bloating. Changes in bowel movements. I mean beans cause that, right? Fatigue. Age causes that. Age. Oh, yeah. Nasal discharge, productive cough, um, and sinusitis.

SPEAKER_01Oh my God. This one shocked me a little bit. It's also called Cotterd's Syndrome, a neuropsychiatric disorder related to depression. This syndrome makes people believe that they are dead or missing their soul, organs, blood, or specific body parts. So it makes them feel that way? Yeah, apparently.
SPEAKER_03They think they're dead. So they walk around. It's like a zombie type. Like they just kind of walk around like they're dead. Okay.
SPEAKER_01I have not heard that. Like symptoms of another syndrome usually is a symptom of another psychiatric condition rather than disease, but some of the symptoms include attempts to self-harm, which yeah, becoming speechless, delusions of immortality, delusions that one is dying, dead, or no longer exists, insensitivity to pain, patients stop speaking, refusal to eat as a result of their delusions of being dead, severe depression or sadness, melancholia, and voices telling the patient that he or she is dead or dying.
SPEAKER_03Oh man.
SPEAKER_01Holy cow.
SPEAKER_02They just walk around in a day's state thinking they're dead. They think they're dead. Yeah. Quite the opposite of what was it?
SPEAKER_03Persistent.
SPEAKER_01Persistent sexual arousal syndrome. You're right on the edge. Always on the edge. So not walking corpse syndrome. Foreign accent syndrome. That one I've heard of. Really? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Where you I did not hear about the foreign accents. Oh, here it goes. Here we go.
SPEAKER_03We're going to London, y'all. Let's go.
SPEAKER_02So I think who's that comedian? Uh uh, the guy, he's been on, he's on Netflix. He had a bit about this where you go to it's a lady, you know, who's Chinese. Hi, and then she goes to bed and she wakes up, uh, gets in an accident, and she wakes up and she's got slot an accent from down. How you doing? I can't think. Wow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03Accurate.
SPEAKER_02I I can't think of who it who's the go ahead, keep talking.
SPEAKER_01Well, like you just said, this happens when a person suddenly wakes up speaking in a different accent. It is commonly caused, oh, commonly caused by a stroke, trauma, tumors, or other neurological conditions. The most common treatment would be speech therapy and uh just to help the people to bring back their normal speech. Well, maybe they don't want it. Maybe she wants it.
SPEAKER_03But what if it's I like southern accents.
SPEAKER_01I'm not gonna lie.
SPEAKER_02Like if I woke up and I had an English accent, I'd be cool. Hello, how are you doing?

So which so disease is present from birth. I'm not a medical person, I'm maintenance, right? You have right to genital. Thank you. Yes. Disease is present from birth, which inhibits the ability to perceive uh yeah, perceive physical pain. It's caused by mutations in specific genes, particularly in an autosomal recessive pattern. Does that make sense to you?
SPEAKER_02So you almost this sounds cool because they have a show, there's a movie out called Novacaine right now that's about this very thing. Oh. The problem with this, even though it sounds cool, yeah, is if you have an appendix problem and it you you don't you just die.
