You gonna watch it for weirdos out there, 22 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: but you know, these are the right kind of weirdos. 23 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: I know a lot of older generations don't get the 24 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: concept of, you know, making friends with people who you 25 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: know live further away from you, or who you know 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: through online and things like that as well, and that 27 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: the concept of a textual relationship is out with their reality. 28 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: But you can make some really really good friends and 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: really great connections via online and I have started to 30 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: do that with TikTok, Instagram, Twitter. To a less extent, 31 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: I have a Twitter, so you know who did what now? 32 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: Pod on everything apart from Twitter, which is who did 33 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: what now? PD? But yeah, making friends. Making friends is 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: fun and it's good. I found, especially that it's quite 35 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: difficult for someone like me because I live in the 36 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: middle of nowhere, but also because I think when you 37 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: get to a certain age, like making friends as an 38 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: adult is a very difficult process. It's very strange and 39 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: we're not taught how to do that. But I'll talk 40 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: about that another time. And it's fun to be friends 41 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: with people who are creative because then you have like 42 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: especially for someone like me, because it really helps drive 43 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: me and spur things on in my brain to actually 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: get me to do stuff, because ADHD brain sometimes finding 45 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: the drive all the time to do stuff can be really, 46 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: really difficult. I'm really in a good I'm really in 47 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: a good spot right now with the right type of support, 48 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: I think, and it's feeling good. And you can't see 49 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: what I'm doing, but I'm actually doing weird hand movements 50 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: and I keep talking with my hands. It's weird, but 51 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: I do it. So but I know what you're saying. 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: You're saying, quit your jibber jubber in fact me, in 53 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: fact you, I will. I will because because we are 54 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: going to talk about Terrall, the French cannibal spy, because 55 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: everybody loves a cannibal story. But before we get into this, 56 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: we get to get our source on. Our sources are 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: Memorial by Pierre Francois Percy. This would be the doctor 58 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: Percy's original paper on Torall's medical history. We have Freaks, 59 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: the Pig based Lady of Manchester Square and other medical 60 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: Marvels by Jane Bondison, Curiosities of Medical Experience by JG. Millgan, 61 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: And of course we have all that's interesting dot com, 62 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: Ripley's dot com, and BBC dot com. Yes, so it 63 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: is this spooky season, and because it is the spooky season, 64 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: we're going to continue with our dark history theme and 65 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: I am going to tell you a tale of Terral, 66 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: the French cannibal spy. So I hope you're ready for 67 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: a tale of s be an age, horror and an 68 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: insatiable appetite. Toral if there is his real name, which 69 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: we're not entirely sure of, because we don't really know 70 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: that much about his early life because generally, if you 71 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: were born in the seventeen hundreds, unless you were rich, 72 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: there's not really a lot to know. They don't write 73 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: that shit down. What do we know about Terrell's early life, 74 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Not a lot. Actually, we don't even know his real name. 75 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: We think RaRo was his stage name that he picked 76 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: up at one point along the way and it just 77 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: kind of stuck. We don't even know exactly when he 78 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: was born. You know, poor people from the past, Why 79 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: would we care, apparently, So what we do know is 80 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: that he was a hungry, hungry boy. So Torraro was 81 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: born roughly around seventeen seventy two, and he was hungry, 82 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: very very hungry, and during that time in France, it 83 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,559 Speaker 1: wasn't exactly the most fruitful of times. And a child 84 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: that can eat their own body weight every single day 85 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: probably more of a hindrance than a help, to be honest. 86 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: And so by the time he's a teenager, he's out 87 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: on his own, he's not with his family, he's gone elsewhere. 88 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: When Tyrall was seventeen, he weighed about one hundred pounds. 89 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: He was very much skinny, malinky, long legs, you know, 90 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: and he was always always hungry. He was starving Marvin 91 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: all of the fucking time. He was so hungry that 92 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: he consistently ate out of rubbish in garbage just to 93 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: help satiate that overwhelming hunger. Fortunately or unfortunately, Tyra's body 94 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: suited his condition like it was just as weird as 95 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: his appetite was. So he was skinny. He could just 96 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: look at his jaw so we could fit more stuff in. 97 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: His cheeks could stretch. His skin was very very stretchy, 98 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: and when he was eating or wasn't full, the skin 99 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: on his cheeks would hang down his face like a bulldog. 100 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: Oh yes, and his stomach so when he was eating 101 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: and swallowing and consuming a bunch of stuff, his stomach 102 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: would sort of just stend out basically, kind of like 103 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: a pregnant woman's would. It would just be like this 104 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: big round bulge. But when he wasn't stuff in his face, 105 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: his stomach would like hang around his just hand sort 106 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: of loose around his body, and he could wrap it 107 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: around his waist like a fucking belt. Ed Gain would 108 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: have a whale of a time with him. It's all 109 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Terra having this rather unusual skill. And let's 110 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: face it, people like to stare at weird stuff. That's 111 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: why freak shows exist or existed. Not that I approve 112 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: of them, but you know, people like to go stare. 113 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: So Terra joined up with his traveling colin and Terraro 114 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: would be an opening act. And this would work in 115 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: two ways. So not only would he get you know, 116 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: paid for performing, but he would also be consistently fed 117 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: like people would hand them like basketfuls of apples that 118 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: he could just flow him down his throat, one after 119 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: the other after the other, like shoving coins in a 120 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: slot machine. He could fit twelve eggs in his mouth 121 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: at any one time, like stuff in his cheeks up 122 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: like a chipmunk, and people would give him loads of 123 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: weird things to eat. Sometimes he would be handed live 124 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: animals like birds, which he would just swallow and then 125 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: throw up the feathers, the beaks and the feet. On 126 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 1: one such incident, he grabbed a cat, drank its blood, 127 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: disemboweled it, and then ate it. And then you know 128 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: what he did, He vomited up the fur. And so 129 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: people would just keep giving him weird things to eat, 130 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: so he would eat. People would make him eat rocks 131 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 1: because he could swallow anything, so they would start handing 132 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: him stuff that you know, really shouldn't be ingested. And 133 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: one day, in the middle of an act, Tora just 134 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: straight up collapses, like down the ground, and his audience 135 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: is so concerned that they take him to a hospital 136 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: and surprise, surprise, there's an obstruction in his intestines, and 137 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: so they just give him a ton of laxatives because 138 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, you get a clear out somehow. Does this 139 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: deter to Lan anyway? Nope, because the man is just 140 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: fucking hungry all the time. But then something happens, something 141 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: very very important in French history, the French Revolution, and 142 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: for a probably illiterate, desperately hungry street urchin, shall we say, 143 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: the option of joining the military. Joining the French military 144 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: is a very very appetizing off because because at least 145 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: if you're in the army, you're gonna be fed. So 146 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: Trall makes the relatively wise decision to give up, you know, 147 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: swallowing rocks for pennies and join the French army. Unfortunately, 148 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: for Toral, the army rations were exactly great or abundant, 149 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: and as such weren't really satisfying his needs. So in 150 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: order to you know, try and quell his hunger a 151 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: little bit, he would do like extra jobs for other 152 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: soldiers so he could take a portion of their rations. 153 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: But this is a man who just can't stop eating, 154 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: and it just doesn't work, and so he resorts to 155 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: eating out the fucking garbage again like a wee racoon. 156 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: Then Toras gets sent to the front lines and out 157 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: there no one had anything to spare or share. And 158 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: because tra was hungry as fuck, he was medically hungry. 159 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: He needed to constantly eat. Because he wasn't consuming what 160 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: he needed to consume, he strayed up, just collapsed from hunger. 161 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: So he set out to woko up and recover in 162 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: a military hospital. And that is where Terrall meets Baron 163 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: Pierre Francois Percy, who took one look at Toraro and went, oh, 164 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: this is interesting. I gotta get me some of this again. 165 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: Remember that Terral is skinny. He's got that weird stretchy skin. 166 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: He constantly smells. I don't think I mentioned this earlier, 167 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: but he is stinky. He is you know in a 168 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: cartoon when you see those like stink lines appear off 169 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: of a person. I feel like that's what Tolra was like. 170 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: So Percy decides to start experimenting on Tora because he can, 171 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: because he wants to see, like how big this appetite is. 172 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: So they start off nice and simple by giving him 173 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: like four times the normal amount of soldiers rations. In 174 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: Terral just and inhales it effectively down it goes gone. 175 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: So to put this into perspective, he ate like a 176 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: quarter of a cow by himself. So he like shovels 177 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: it in and his like weird flippy stomach skin. It 178 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: just whoop how it goes. But beef wasn't the only 179 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: thing on the menu, because Percy wanted to say, like 180 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: what could he eat? Because you know, he'd heard bits 181 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: and pieces. So you know, he gives them two I 182 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: want to say, the disapproval of the other doctors. They 183 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: were like, what are you doing. He's like, I'm feeding 184 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: them this stuff, okay, And he basically offers him a 185 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: bunch of stuff like he would eat in his acts. 186 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: So he gives him eels and snacks and a live cat, 187 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: after which, yes, here again, he pukes up the fire. 188 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: Would swallow eels and snacks, like open his gullet up 189 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: and just and they would just slip right in and 190 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: he would swallow them whole after till was finished his meal. 191 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: When he went to the privy of the toilet, his 192 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: bill movements were fucking putrid, Like nobody could handle going 193 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: into a bathroom after he'd been in it, Like nobody 194 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: wanted to go near that. It was kind of like 195 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: if shit got sour. That's kind of what that was. Like. 196 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he probably had really bad gas as well. 197 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: Like when you think about it, so imagine you've already 198 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: got the stench going on from that. But like his 199 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: entire body stinks. It's a potent smell. It stings the nostrils. 200 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: Rancid stench was so awful that you could smell it 201 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: from like twenty paces away the other side of the room. 202 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: And this wasn't an era predioderant, you know, so near enough, 203 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: everything at this time either smelt like pea or sweat. 204 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: So he must have been really, really bad if his 205 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: scent was putting everyone off. Another weird thing about Tral 206 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: is that he was constantly hot and sweaty, and that 207 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: when he was eating he would get like feverish and 208 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: his scent would get much much worse as he ate, 209 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: like during the eating process. So while he's doing all 210 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: these mad scientists, chip a general Alexandre de Bourne is like, 211 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: wait a minute, this seems useful. He's like, fuck this 212 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: for a game of soldiers. We've got this dude who 213 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: can swallow a bunch of weird things and not die. Well, 214 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: let's put him to good use. So the thing is 215 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: France and Prussia. There it war, the Franco Prussian War, 216 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: if you will. So they want to see if Terra 217 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: can put his weird talent to use and utilize it 218 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: for spycraft. So their plan is to give him, to 219 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: give him stuff to swallow for him to smuggle over. 220 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: So what their plan is is to give them stuff 221 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: to swallow so he can smuggle it over the Prussian 222 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: border and deliver it to captured French soldiers. So they 223 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: decide to test it out first by writing a note 224 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: and putting the note inside a wooden box and then 225 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: getting them to swallow the wooden box. So he passes 226 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: this anyway, so he poops it out. So basically they're 227 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: waiting for him to put out this box because they 228 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: want to check to see if the note is still 229 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: legible after it's gone through his body. You know, I 230 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: hope at least they like smoothed the edges because those 231 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: sharp corners, Oh, does not seem fun for anybody. So, 232 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: as it turns out, this worked, and they decide to 233 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: reward him with some positive reinforcement like a puppy, and 234 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: they give him thirty bull organs, which he basically inhales 235 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: in front of everybody, and because it's a roaring success, 236 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: they decide to put this into practice. So Tallah swallowed 237 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: another wooden box with another little note in it for 238 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: a captured colonel, and he was disguised as a Prussian 239 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: peasant and he was supposed to sneak over the border. However, 240 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: Tarra wasn't exactly inconspicuous because you know the weird skin 241 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: and the smell, and and you know the fact that 242 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: he couldn't actually speak any Prussian. Oh, and you know 243 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: the fact that he was French and couldn't actually speak 244 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: any Prussian. Needless to say, he was quickly captured. And 245 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: the thing about Tarra is he was never trained in 246 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: any of this. He was just kind of thrown into it. 247 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: He's been captured by the enemy, he's being strip searched, 248 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: he's being whipped, and he's having any number of tortures 249 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: happened to him over like a day. And Tallah was 250 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: never trained to endure torture, so he breaks pretty easily, 251 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: and you know, he tells them all about you know, 252 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: the plot, and how he's got a secret message and 253 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: now he's got like a spe shall know, in a 254 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: box they swallowed and they're like right, So they basically 255 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: chain him to a privy or a la train maybe toilet. 256 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: He's changed to a toilet, and they wait for him 257 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: to shut out the box. Eventually a couple hours later, 258 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: imagine being the soldier has to dig through the excrement 259 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: to retrieve the box and then open the box and 260 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: find the note, only to discover that the note doesn't 261 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: have any special instructions or necessary information, and that is 262 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: just a test to see whether or not Taila could 263 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: deliver the message. And the Prussians, they're not fucking happy 264 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: about this. So they're like, mate, you're getting executed, and 265 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: they tell Talal that they're going to hang them. And 266 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: he waits for days away and there he is for 267 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: days awaiting his death. But luckily for him, there he's 268 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: your problem now and chuck him back over the border 269 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: because he felt like he had done something to sell 270 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: out his country after failing being a spy, Tral was 271 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: just done. He was sick of he was dealing with 272 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: the fact that he felt that his actions had like 273 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: he was guilty, you know, over the fact that he 274 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: felt that he'd sold out secrets to the other side, 275 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: and his constant hunger was really destroying him. So he's 276 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: back and he goes back to you know, the surgeon Percy, 277 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: and he begs him, begs him to try and cure 278 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: him of his hunger, you know, and Percy's like, yes, please, 279 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: and thank you. Let's see what we can do for you. 280 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: So he gets him into a hospital and they decided 281 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: to try a bunch of stuff to see if they 282 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: can reduce his hunger. So he's in for constant observation 283 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: and they give him other things, poppy seeds, stuff like that. 284 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: They tried to use a laudanum, which is an opioid, 285 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: and they wanted to use that as a hunger suppressant. 286 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: They gave him. They tried tobacco pills because there's like 287 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: a theory that nicotine suppresses your appetite. And one of 288 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: the other things he tried was red wine vinegar because 289 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: of the acids that are in red wine, it can 290 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: basically like it can reduce appetite because it can reduce 291 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: the appetite because the acids that are in red wine 292 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: can sort of reduce your appetite and reduce fat storage 293 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: and also like help you burn fat in your body. 294 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: None of these treatments helped tall oh Oh. And another 295 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: one was eggs, a diet of eggs. So Tola was 296 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: like so hungry, and he goes back to his old ways, 297 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: so he is eating it with the rubbish again. He's 298 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: in the bins and can't handle these diets. Nothing is 299 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: helping satiate his hunger, so he is back in the bins. 300 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: He's going full on raccoon. He's eating anything that is edible, 301 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: regardless of how rotten or disgusting it is. There's even 302 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: reports of him breaking into slaughterhouses so that he could 303 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: eat the raw meat inside. So this is where the 304 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: story gets menacing. He was fighting animals on the street 305 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: for food, like dogs and wolves. And then he is 306 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: caught drinking human blood in the hospital from like patients 307 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: who had been brought in for blood letting. But don't worry, 308 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: it gets worse, and you're thinking, what could be worse 309 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: than drinking blood. On more than one occasion, Tallal was 310 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: found in the hospital's mortuary feasting on the dead. That's right, 311 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: he was eating dead bodies. He was eating the flesh 312 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: of the dead. And then something truly horrific happens. A 313 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: fourteen month old child was being treated at the hospital, 314 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: and this infant mysteriously and this and this baby mysteriously 315 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: disappears Newton neither hide nor hair was ever seen again. 316 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 1: We don't entirely know if, and so all eyes and 317 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: soon all eyes turned to Talla, who, let's face it 318 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: was known to lurk through the hospital wards looking for 319 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: something to eat. And although they couldn't prove that he 320 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: had eaten the infant, they put two and two together, 321 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: and when the suspicion fell into La he did the 322 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: wise thing and got the hell out a dodge. He 323 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: straight up disappears like he straight up disappears from the 324 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: hospital in Paris, and for four years we don't know 325 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: where he went or what he did. And it's so 326 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: weird because you've got this weird looking, weird smelling, scrawny 327 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: man with an insatiable, uncontrollable appetite who eats rubbish and 328 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: garbage and people and rocks, and we have no fucking 329 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: clue about where he went, who did he go with, 330 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: what did he do? For four years? I mean, this 331 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: was in the middle of the French Revolution, so who's 332 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: to say? I also addition, furthermore, the only person actually 333 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: looking for Toilra was Percy, and find whom he does 334 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: in seventeen ninety eight, because he's been admitted to a 335 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: hospital in Versailles. When Terra is visited by Perce, he 336 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: was suffering constant diarrhea and a weird condition that somehow 337 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: had cured his appetite, which you know, I mean that 338 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: everybody wanted, but probably not in this way. And Tra 339 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: is not exactly compassmentous at this point, and he's telling 340 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: Percy that he had swallowed a golden fork. Golden fork 341 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: was killing him from the inside. Now, whether or not 342 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: he had consumed a golden fork at this point nobody knew, 343 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: but wasn't really relevant because he had late stage tuberculosis, 344 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: although it probably would have been still called consumption at 345 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: the time. Tarrah died in absolute agony a month after 346 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: Percy's rival, and as far as we know with and 347 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: as far as we know with Terra, at the age 348 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: of twenty six, Ral died in excruciating pain with Percy 349 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: by his side. After Tyra dies, Percy decides that he's 350 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: going to perform an autopsy to try and understand, to 351 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: try and get like some clue as to what the 352 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: fuck was going on with this fella. And in fairness, 353 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: he was the only one willing to do it, because 354 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: as bad as that man smelled when he was alive, 355 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: he smelled even worse when he was dead. And here's 356 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: the thing. They had to act very quickly because his 357 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: body quote unquote became prey to a horrible corruption. Like 358 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: it is like putrefying itself. It was so bad that 359 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: so many surgeons just like couldn't And these are people 360 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: who were there during you know, the gaillotine full force, 361 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But Tora's body was just 362 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: too much for most of them to handle. So Percy 363 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: is performing the autopsy. So when they make an insertion 364 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: into his stomach, they found his organs like immersed in. 365 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: Plus his mouth could dislocate his gullet. You could open 366 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: his gullet and see down. So Tarrar's esophagus was massive 367 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: to the point that it could stretch like a foot 368 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: in diameter, so that when you like stretched it open, 369 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: you could look through his mouth and see his stomach, 370 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: His his intestines, his liver, and his gallbladder were enormous, 371 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: and that his stomach took up most of his sort 372 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: of abdominal area in that it was covered in ulcerts. 373 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: His liver had already started to putrefy. And you can 374 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: remember as well, like his organs are already like swimming 375 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: in puss. And by the time they'd looked at all 376 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: this stuff, they were like, okay, we're done now. Because 377 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: the body acids and the weird sweat smell and the puss. 378 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: This stench was so horrific they demanded the autopsy be 379 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: stopped and that the body be buried so deep that 380 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: it could never bother anyone again. Another thing that wasn't 381 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: discovered during the autopsy was the golden fort Thatterrah was 382 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: convinced was killing him. Here's the thing, though, to this day, 383 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: we still don't know what kind of medical condition til 384 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: I had because like a damaged ypilathemus in rats and 385 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: an abiutala in cats, you know, can give them an 386 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: insatiable hunger, but they both kind of got obese with it. 387 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Interral was constantly skinny, basically a woken skellet in most 388 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: of his life, with just skin hanging off him like 389 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: a badly made suit. And they thought it was prolifergy, 390 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: but that doesn't quite work it either. At one point 391 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: they thought it might be hyperthyroidism, you know, because it 392 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: can you know, because it would have like an incredibly 393 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: fast metabolism being someone hungry, but without them gaining any weight. 394 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: It would make you really hungry, but you know, you 395 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't gain as much weight. But there has been no 396 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: known case of hyperthyroidism that's made it's ever shown someone 397 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: like Toral existing, then of course there's a possibility of 398 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: a parasite, but nothing was ever found. And another option 399 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: was polyphagia, but which which basically involves like like a 400 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: massive appetite and eating to excess, but it doesn't quite 401 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: deively modern science doesn't know, and so ends our tale 402 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: of Toral the French cannibal Spy.
