Speaker 1: This is and lo dinner. I cooked it myself, even

Speaker 1: but you'll catch my cold. Wow. What a what a slogan.

43
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: That's your restaurants slogan. Oh wait, the restaurant's theme is

44
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: that the chef is always sick. People like a theme.

45
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: What do you can I say, Well, we got an

46
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: episode to get to, so I got my hot tea here,

47
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: so we got some hot stories to tell today, I said,

48
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: hot stories. Today's episodes are about babies. I told you

49
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: it's the it's the sickness, everybody. You're just gonna get

50
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: some weird stuff today. All right, Look, this is ridiculous romance.

51
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: We tell stories about romance on this show. And romance

52
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: and babies go together like peanut butter and chocolate, you know,

53
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: because like you can have peanut butter without chocolate. Of course,

54
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: romance being peanut butter, babies being chocolate. In this particular situation,

55
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: you can also have chocolate without peanut butter if you want.

56
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: And I hear it's a life changing experience. Chocolate isn't

57
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: for everyone. And some people hate peanut butter, and that's okay.

58
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean personally, I love peanut butter. I put it

59
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: on anything. Honestly, peanut butter and romance go together for

60
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: me like chocolate and chocolate. Anyway, Look, it's a little

61
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: lost in the metaphor here, but the point is we're

62
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: talking about babies today. Babies, and we're gonna start with

63
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: a woman who used pregnancy to scam money out of

64
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: her government job. And then we're gonna move on and

65
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: talk about a woman who really defied the odds by

66
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: having babies of her own. And finally we'll talk about

67
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: an ancient baby that was found inside of mummy. Very

68
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: exciting stuff. So I say we jump right into it

69
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: and get these baby stories. Lets go, hey, their French,

70
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: come listen. Well, Elia and Diana got some stories to tell.

71
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: There's no matchmaking, a romantic tips. It's just about particulous relationships,

72
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: a love it might be any type of person at all,

73
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: and abstract cons and drawing a concrete all. But if

74
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: there's a story, were the second clinch Ridiculous roles A

75
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: production of I Heart Radio. Okay, so before we get

76
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: to the babies today. We gotta do a little bit

77
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: of housekeeping, right because you know, we said some things

78
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: and then we got a message, so it's time for

79
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: us to go into corrections corner. You're such a loser.

80
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: This correction comes to us from Josh Green. Hi, Josh,

81
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: thank you for emailing us. This is very vital information.

82
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: Vital information now right, Um, this is from our Collette

83
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: Part three episode, if you call our Collette series, where

84
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: we were talking about um uh, the language of flowers

85
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: and now gay people in the twenties, we're using like

86
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: violets and carnations to sort of advertise, subbly advertised to

87
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: one another who they were and what they were into

88
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: and stuff. And we mentioned that there was something like

89
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: a handkerchief code, right that we thought was happened kind

90
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: of around the two thousands, and it was like what

91
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: color handkerchief you wore in your back pocket and stuff

92
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: like that. But I learned about it anyway. That's right, Well,

93
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: Josh had the goods. He writes, quote, I haven't heard

94
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: a correction to this episode for it yet, But the

95
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: handkerchief coding you mentioned in the episode, also known as

96
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: the hanky code, was more of a common occurrence in

97
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies as a way of advertising yourself quietly

98
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: across the country, but more commonly in larger cities. The

99
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: position and color of the handkerchief was important to disclose

100
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: what you were looking for. Worn in the back left

101
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: pocket means you are a top, back right means you're

102
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: a bottom. And then the colors, such as a white

103
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: means you're into come orange means you're into anything, anywhere,

104
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: everything everywhere, all at once handkerchief and blue means you

105
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 1: want to fuck, and light blue means oral. The color

106
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: codes get rather specific, but pore colors tended to be

107
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: the most common. So when I said that a black

108
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: and white polka dot handkerchief in your pocket indicated that

109
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: you wanted to be tied up in a dungeon, uh,

110
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: it might not have gotten that complicated. Maybe not that complicated,

111
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Josh goes on. The practice fell out of favor in

112
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: the mid to late eighties, but did make a comeback

113
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: in the early two thousands of your Head as more

114
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: of a club bar scene flagging. Now this practice is

115
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: still going on, but many types of people wear hankies

116
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: in their back pockets, and it can be weird to

117
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: hit on a guy who has a hanky but turns

118
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: out to be very straight. Josh, thank you for that,

119
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: because that was very comprehensive. I did not know all

120
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: right well enough about sex. It's time to get into

121
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: the consequences of sex. Today. We're telling these baby stories,

122
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,720

Speaker 1: reported that Robin's doctor had mandated several weeks of rest

147

154
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Previously, the state of Georgia allowed government

155
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: employees to take up to twelve weeks of unpaid parent

156
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: to leave. That was established in the Family and Medical

157
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: League Act was actually a federal thing. This was putting

158
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: a place during Bill Clinton's first term, and it protected

159
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: people from getting fired if they had a new child,

160
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: or if they had to take care of a sick

161
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: family member, or if they themselves had a major injury

162
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: or illness. It was like, you know, I have to

163
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: stay home. You don't have to pay me, but I

164
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: can't come to work. Please don't fire me. Okay, we'll

165
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: give you three months get back. Exactly, it must have

166
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: been really important. I mean, I can't imagine before that

167
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: just getting fired because you had to stay home because

168
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: you broke your leg or something. You know, many women

169
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: could probably tell you how many times they have jobs

170
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: for getting pregnant. Yeah, definitely, definitely, but yeah, that's very true.

171
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: But you can imagine a lot of people didn't take

172
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: advantage of this because twelve weeks away from your job,

173
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: unpaid and exactly something you can afford to do. Yeah,

174
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: don't have of expenses? Hell no, just hanging out then

175
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: the old bank account. Yeah. But then Georgia legislators put

176
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: forth House Bill one four six, which would grant state

177
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: government employees who either birth, adopt, or foster a child

178
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: paide for a period of up to three weeks. Three weeks,

179
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: three weeks, and oh well, you know it makes sense

180
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: because at three weeks an infant is fully able to

181
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: take care of itself should be down to the factory

182
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: already threatened needles with those little hands. Interestingly, the bill

183
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: says that you don't have to use all one, D

184
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: and twenty hours at once. You can use them as

185
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: needed quote, provided that such leave usage does not unduly

186
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: disrupt the operations of the applicable employing entity. Which it's like,

187
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: that's such a dumb thing to say, because if my

188
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: absence was not unduly disrupted, I probably wouldn't have a job,

189
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: Like they wouldn't need me, so there would be no

190
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: need for me to work. As long as your company

191
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: doesn't realize you're gone, you can take up to three

192
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: weeks off. I just don't see, I don't know. That

193
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: is so crazy, you know. So anyway, retail workers don't

194
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: adopt a child near Christmas time. They don't want your

195
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: calling out. Absolutely, who wouldn't look at that bill? You know? What?

196
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: What boss? You know, surely the kind hearted bosses out there,

197
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: But how many have I had that would have looked

198
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: at that and said, yeah, well, I can't give you

199
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: this time now busy, it's the busiest time of the year,

200
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, right, you're coming in, bring the baby

201
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: with you if you have to strap it onto your

202
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: back and get in here now. Interestingly, the Governor's office

203
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: signed this bill into state law on May five, just

204
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: a day before the g v R A got that

205
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: email from brand Oatman Babewe. So lucky for her, this

206
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: was just signed into law. So it seemed like she

207
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: was about to get at least three weeks of pt

208
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: O that was state mandated. Now, incredible timing, and she

209
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: managed to get seven weeks out at them. So g

210
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: v R a very generous you know, compared to what

211
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: they had to give her. Robin was set for the

212
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: next six and a half weeks. She was able to

213
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: continue to collect your salary without having to leave her

214
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: babies at home and going to work. But something wasn't

215
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: adding up here. We don't know exactly what was seen

216
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: or how, but WSP reported that a colleague quote witnessed

217
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: what appeared to be a portion of fulsome stomach come

218
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: away from her body. Come away, horrifying part of your

219
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: stomach came off, like did it flap up like a shirt? Might?

220
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, like a flap? Oh? Yeah, Like she reached

221
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: up for a couple, like for a mug from one

222
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: of the break room cabinets up high, and they're like,

223
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: why your stomach came off? There's stomach attached. What is happening?

224
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: She's like, Oh, that baby be kicking. I don't know,

225
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: I'd like a David Cronenberg movie. What is happening? Got jesus?

226
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: So that was a weird thing to see, obviously, And

227
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: whispers started going around the office, and so they started

228
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of comparing notes with each other and realized that

229
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: when they compared pictures that Robin had sent her coworkers

230
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: of her baby, they all looked different. They were just

231
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: like random baby pictures with totally different skin tones weird,

232
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: which is very odd. Yeah, now, somebody must have gotten

233
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: this back to HR or at least rumors eventually circulated

234
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: back there, because there was definitely something baby about these fishies.

235
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: They excuse me, there, I told you I love baby

236
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: about these fishes. There was something fishy about these babies.

237
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Excuse me. Um, we should just move on from that one.

238
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: We do have a fish and I think there's something

239
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: baby about there is something baby about our fish. Anyway,

240
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: HR had to bring this issue to the State Inspector

241
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: General Scott McAfee. His office interviewed employees, they evaluated the

242
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: pictures that she had sent them, and they eventually reached

243
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: out directly to Piedmont Hospital and they learned that there

244
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: was no record of Robin giving birth at the hospital.

245
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: There were no birth certificates on file. And not only that,

246
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: but after reaching out to the Georgia Office of Vital Records,

247
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: they learned that there was quote no indication that Robin

248
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: Folsom had ever delivered a child, even her first child

249
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: was alive. He had no babies. All this must have

250
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: taken a while, which I get if you've ever asked

251
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: for a record from anywhere, it takes a fucking forever. Um.

252
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: So it probably took a while because Robin herself was

253
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: not interviewed by investigators until October, and she was asked

254
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: about her other children. She claimed to have three in

255
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: total at this point, and brand outman Bebewe was a

256
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: real person, and she insisted, they're my children. Of course

257
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: they're real. The dad's real. I mean, come on, I

258
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: have a whole family here that I go home to

259
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: every night. But of course nobody could find any evidence

260
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: that Mr Oatman Babewe existed. And I gotta say, I

261
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: feel like she gave herself away here. And if I

262
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: was the investigator, the first thing I would have said

263
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: was Oatman Babewe. That sounds an awful lot like not

264
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: my baby, So I'd feel like that was just planted there,

265
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: she added herself. Right, I would have just chosen a

266
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: name harder to to run down. It's a very unique name,

267
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: like his name is to be like John Smith. You know,

268
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: they could have been looking for years, right, I'm trying

269
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: to find that guy. So it wasn't long before Robin

270
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: Folsom was indicted on three felony counts of false statements

271
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: and one felony count of identity fraud. Shortly after this

272
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: interview with the State Inspector General, she resigned from her position,

273
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: and at the g v R a WSB estimated that,

274
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: based on her salary, she had received between ten and

275
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand dollars in maternity pay, which she was obviously

276
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: not entitled to. She was given a court date of

277
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: April four two, where she faced a maximum of twenty

278
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: five years in prison and up to a hundred and

279
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars in fines. McAfee said that in all,

280
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: she faked three pregnancies, but her inventing the father with

281
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: a fake email address is really why she got hit

282
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: with the identity for all. But in court, her lawyer

283
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: said that she wanted Quote to accept responsibility for the

284
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: crimes and move forward with her life in the most

285
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: private way that she can, and she pled guilty to

286
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: all four counts. She managed to only be sentenced to

287
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: five years of probation, a psychiatric evaluation, followed by any

288
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: treatment deemed necessary, and she had to pay a little

289
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: over twelve thousand dollars in restitute into the state. I

290
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: think that sounds really reasonable to me, actually, because it's like,

291
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: if she gives the money back, you know, I'm not

292
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: gonna say no harm because obviously there was like a

293
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: lot of time where she was away from work. Were like,

294
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if other people had to pick up

295
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: her work, or if there was stuff not getting done.

296
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: You know, she'sn't a public assistance program. I feel like

297
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: somebody missed out on something there probably um, but you know,

298
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: also twenty five years in prison, A hundred thousand dollars, fine,

299
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: you know, more vindictive than it's been approportionately punitive. But

300
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: but it sounds like this twelve grand was what she

301
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: was given and she had to pay it back, and like, yeah,

302
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: let's go make sure that you're not a compulsive liar

303
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: who needs some treatment. Right, we should probably get you

304
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: checked out. That's a weird thing to do, especially, I

305
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: mean going into the office. You know, people can see

306
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: your belly. Like I could see this being like a

307
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: good remote work scamp. You like, you know you're faking it,

308
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: but like, who's seeing it? No one. You had a

309
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: little soundboard next year zoom with baby sound effects. You're like, oh,

310
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: he's crying again. I gotta go everybody. Um, But yeah,

311
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: she had to, like legit put a fake I guess

312
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: different stages of pregnancy bellies. I mean, this is some

313
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: real commitment to the bit. Yeah. Seriously. Now I have

314
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: some thoughts because interestingly, though this was supposedly her third

315
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: fake pregnancy, there's no evidence that she ever collected any

316
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: unemployment from the first two, so speculation station. I think

317
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: that originally she was just looking for time off. I

318
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: think she just wanted. I mean, she had a hundred

319
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: grand of years just probably like you know what, I

320
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: just I know that nine months from now, I'm gonna

321
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: want like a month vacation, so I'll take the unpaid

322
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: twelve weeks or whatever. Yeah, I'm having a baby, everybody

323
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: next August, right when I booked my cruise, you know

324
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: or something. But then, you know, coincidentally, very conveniently, right

325
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: after she you know, fake delivered this baby and Governor

326
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: Kemp signed bill in law, she was like, oh, ship,

327
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 1: maybe i'll press my luck a little and see if

328
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: I can get some of that money too. And that,

329
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: of course was her undoing exactly. That was that was

330
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: her downfall. But I do remember this is very very

331
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: reminiscent of when I had my first restaurant job, and

332
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I should be allowed to

333
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: take a non smoker's break. I deserved five minutes outside.

334
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: Just because I don't smoke does not mean that I

335
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: should not also get a little break. Well, speaking of

336
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: a little break, yes, yes, so yes, that's the woman

337
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: who faked having three babies. But after our non smoking break,

338
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about a woman who had three

339
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: very real babies. Even though everyone's older that she would

340
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: never survive it, and we'll get to that right after this.

341
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody. Well enough fake babies. Yeah, now we're

342
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: going to talk about a very real woman who had

343
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: some very real babies. Her name was Stacy Harold. And

344
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil anything up front here, but look,

345
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: this is kind of a sweet story, and it's a

346
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: more recent story, so I feel like I should tell

347
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: you now and not hit you with a big sad

348
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: note at the end that Stacy is no longer with us,

349
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: but her story is very worth telling. I just I

350
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: don't know, I just feel like, you know, we often

351
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: tell stories that are like from hundreds of years ago,

352
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: so you know that person is gone, but you know

353
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: this was from the twos So I don't want to

354
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: tell this very uplifting story and then be like whomp, whomp,

355
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: now be sad. So just get that out of the

356
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: way now, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stacy was born in dry Ridge, Kentucky,

357
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: and she was working as a cashier at a local

358
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: grocery store in the year two thousand when she met

359
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: Will Harold in the checkoutline. The two immediately hit it off.

360
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: They started dating, not long after I would watch a

361
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: Hallmark movie about cashier meeting her soul made at the

362
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: checkout line. Of course, I could totally see the cover

363
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: and everything. We don't watch enough Hallmark movies. I'm sure

364
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: it's happened. I feel right. Actually, you're right that it does.

365
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: It probably exists. I think I just got hit with

366
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: the copyright lawsuit while sitting here. So Will was nine

367
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: years younger than Stacy, but that was not their biggest difference.

368
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: He was also three and a half feet taller. Now

369
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Will not a freakishly tall man. He's an average American

370
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: male height of five ft nine, but Stacy was only

371
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: two ft four. Stacy is only two ft four because

372
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: she was born with a condition called osteo genesis imperfecta,

373
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: and this is also known as brittle bone disease. The

374
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: oh I Foundation at o i f dot org says

375
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: that the major feature of oh I is an extremely

376
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: fragile skeleton, and this can include symptoms such as bone

377
00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: deformity and pain, brittle teeth, respiratory problems, cardiac issues, and

378
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: short stature. Basically, your body can't grow taller to support

379
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: itself well. The oh I Foundation says that quote with

380
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: good medical management and supportive care. The majority of people

381
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 1: who have oh I will lead healthy, productive lives and

382
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: can expect an average lifespan. And two thousand four, Stacy

383
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: and Will got married and they started to talk about

384
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: whether they would have children. But as Stacy had known

385
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: for most of her life, pregnancies are very difficult and

386
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: risky for people with oh I. A study on the

387
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology says that women with

388
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: oh I have higher rates of gestational diabetes and much

389
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: higher needs for blood transfusions and cesarean deliveries than the

390
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: general population, and they also face a higher likelihood of

391
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: postpartum fractures and hospitalization. And baby is born to people

392
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: with oh I have a fifty fifty chance of inheriting

393
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: the genetic disorder and over a four times higher mortality

394
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: rate within their first month of life. Whether not the

395
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: condition with past to them, so lots of reasons not

396
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: to yeah, a lot of complications present right, risk is

397
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: much higher, many risks. Doctors warned Stacy that if she

398
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: were to get pregnant, the baby could grow so large

399
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: inside of her that it could crush her lungs and

400
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: heart because you imagine a developing baby is going to

401
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: reach its average side, and that only two ft four

402
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: that's tall. I know, I mean average women get all

403
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: crowded down there right now. It's it must be. I

404
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: can't even imagine it, really, And that's not to mention

405
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: the risks of her breaking bones like her ribs and

406
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: her pelvis and her spine um. So Stacy said, but

407
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not going to let a couple

408
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: of crushed lungs get in my way. I'm doing it.

409
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: She said, quote all my life, my parents had told

410
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: me that I could do anything. So she wasn't gonna

411
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: hear it when these doctors told her that she couldn't

412
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: have a baby. And Mary Beth hugh Or, who's the

413
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: director of programs for the o i F, said, quote,

414
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: we believe it's a personal decision. Many who have bone

415
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: deformity to the pelvis can carry a child and give birth. So,

416
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: with the risks fully acknowledged, she and Will got pregnant

417
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, and she said, friends, family,

418
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: their doctors all begged them to reconsider, but she told them, quote,

419
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: it's a miracle that I'm here, that I have life.

420
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Why couldn't this be a miracle too? Totally fair but

421
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: very scary. It must every day must have just felt

422
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: very like, who kay, how are we today? You know?

423
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: But she went through with the pregnancy, and of course

424
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: it did have its complications, but she carried the child

425
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: for twenty eight weeks before needing a cesarean section. That's early.

426
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: It is early. I think that's right. We should know,

427
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: we know, we shouldn't have to know that. We don't

428
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: have babies, and we're not doctors who in something like that.

429
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: Nine months is thirty six weeks? I know it's not

430
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: exactly right. It's something like it's it's like forty We'll

431
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: get an answering machine. Somebody tell us the very easy

432
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: to answer question that I could google right now. We'll

433
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: get like corrections corner Google at jeez. Well, she got

434
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: to twenty eight weeks. They gave her a C section,

435
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: and her daughter could Terry was born at only two

436
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: pounds and one that is very small. The family soon

437
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: learned that her daughter had indeed inherited her mother's condition,

438
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: so they knew that it would be a challenge, but

439
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: all three of them were healthy and safe. Then a

440
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: year later, Stacy became pregnant again. She said, the same

441
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: old run around. This time around. Everyone said, you know

442
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: you pressed your luck the first time, Please don't go

443
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: through this again. Stacy and Will very religious people. Will

444
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: was even in training to be a vicar at the time.

445
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: So they threw it all to God. They said they

446
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: were going to pray their way through it. And Stacy

447
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: said to ABC News that, you know, her parents told

448
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: that she wouldn't make it, but she did. And Will

449
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: her husband had once fallen off the back of a

450
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: truck and they said that he wasn't going to survive,

451
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: but he did. So they felt like they had already

452
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: gotten through a few miracles. You know, what's a few more?

453
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: I think? I feel like I feel like I've used up. Yeah,

454
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: we're going to stay with what we got. I've got

455
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: nine lives. I'm not going to start, you know, throwing around.

456
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: So this time, Stacy was pregnant for thirty four weeks

457
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: before they needed to get that baby out. Her second

458
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: daughter was born in two eight. She was eighteen inches long,

459
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: which is more than half of Stacy's entire her body.

460
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: There are pictures of Stacy, you know, thirty weeks pregnant

461
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: in some of the interviews with her, and it's it's

462
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: fascinating to see you see the challenges that she would

463
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: have to have gone through. So much of her physical

464
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: body was taken up by baby by the belly. Yeah. Absolutely, Now,

465
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: this new baby girl, Makaya did not inherit the genetic disorder.

466
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: There goes that right there. And by the time she

467
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: was two years old, both of Stacy's daughters were more

468
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: than a foot taller than her. That must be really

469
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: tough and be like eat your crackers whatever. Now, obviously

470
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: raising two toddlers was complicated at times, but she said

471
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: that with her husband Will being so supportive and helpful,

472
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: they didn't have any trouble getting through the rough patches.

473
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: She had a custom built wheelchair and platform that allowed

474
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: her to bathe and change the kids, which Will was

475
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: more than happy to do when she was too tired.

476
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: Nice Will Way to be a dad, and their whole

477
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: household was arranged so that Stacy could reach everything she

478
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: would need when she was home alone with the kids.

479
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: She's kind of reminded me of Alan Geenie. Too many

480
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: have been thinking of them. I love them. If you

481
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: haven't heard our Alan Genie. Too many story. It's we

482
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: did in the first year. Uh, they were circus performers

483
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: back in the Blood I mean early and he was

484
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: the world's tallest man and she was the world's smallest woman.

485
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: And uh, incredible difference between them, and they're they're the sweetest,

486
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: most loving couple if we've ever done on the show.

487
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: I love them so much. They're so cute. And also, yeah,

488
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: I had made a very custom house for her so

489
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: she could be really independent. Then in two thousand and ten,

490
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: guess what, Stacy became pregnant again. At this point, you

491
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 1: got to imagine people are just like, hey, you know,

492
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: you've proven it over and over again. You clearly got

493
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: this down right. I mean, her doctors were still concerned.

494
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: A geneticist named Dr Tinkle, which I'm gonna need a

495
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: minute with just excuse me because I'm ten years old,

496
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: a urologist or that's all I have to say. Anyway,

497
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: this well respected man, Doctor Tinkle, had treated Stacy as well,

498
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: and he told ABC News that they usually issue strong

499
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: recommendations against pregnancy due to the risks of both mother

500
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: and child, and Stacy did have more trouble with this pregnancy,

501
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: and not just because she had two toddlers to deal

502
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: with already, you know. She said that she physically couldn't

503
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: help her daughter Macayah if she was upset, so Will

504
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: would have to take care of any like tantrums or

505
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: anything like that. They also at this time opened a

506
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: small business called Terry's Corner, which dealt in second hand

507
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: baby items, and that helped pale their medical bills. They said,

508
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: they just did that part time, you know, they weren't

509
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: trying to overwhelm themselves, but it gave them, you know,

510
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: a little extra income that they needed. And the third

511
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: pregnancy was difficult. Stacy was having a hard time moving around.

512
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: She couldn't hold her youngest daughter, Macaiah because her belly

513
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: was in the way. So eight weeks early, they had

514
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: to deliver her new son through a cesarean section. His

515
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: name was Malachi, and like her first daughter, he did

516
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: inherit his mother's condition, but he was born with no

517
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: broken bones, which Stacy described as a miracle because quote,

518
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: people with our condition are often born with broken arms

519
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: or legs. I guess as you're gettings squeezed out or

520
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: pulled out, it's so easy to break, they said, Babies

521
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: with this condition just changing a diaper can cause bone fractures.

522
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, very delicate, like really really delicate,

523
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: Stacy added quote finding out he had my condition was hard,

524
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: but we knew we would be the best support possible

525
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: for him because Terry and I have both been there already.

526
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: Oh experts, I mean, who better? Absolutely now. In addition

527
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: to having oh I, of course, Maliki was also very premature,

528
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: so he faced a lot of challenges. He was only

529
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: five inches long two pounds ten ounces. He had to

530
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: be immediately placed in an incubator, and he caught a

531
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: virus very early, only seventeen days old, and he had

532
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: to have an emergency hernia surgery. Oh my god. Too

533
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: many challenges, Stacy told Daily Mail quote. At one point

534
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: they told us his heart had stopped and we thought

535
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: he might not survive, but thankfully the doctors managed to

536
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: save him. It felt like another miracle, and then after

537
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: few more weeks, he was finally able to come home.

538
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: Despite the risks, the danger, the ongoing difficulties, Stacy was

539
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: so glad to have birthed three children and considered both

540
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: herself and her baby's miracles. Despite the troubles that she faced,

541
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: she and her husband will raised the babies into children

542
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: with care, love and support. The Guinness World Records certified

543
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: that she was the smallest mother in the world, and

544
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: she said she hopes her story gives hope to other

545
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: women who are told they could not have children. She

546
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: told ABC News quote, I would tell those women, don't

547
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: put limits on yourself, don't let people put limits on you,

548
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: and for the grace of God, don't let anything stop you,

549
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: which is a lovely sentiment. And also I would say,

550
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, listen to your doctors and don't put yourself

551
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: in unnecessarily harm's way. But you know, I guess she's

552
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 1: She said, it's true she had that choice right, and

553
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: that Scott matters is that she was able to say,

554
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm willing to risk it. You know, I'd

555
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: rather do this than not. And it's not untrue that

556
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: doctors are wrong sometimes. I mean, they'll be the first stay. Absolutely. Um.

557
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: I know that. My aunt, who was an ob g

558
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: way in she said she always said doctors were the

559
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: very worst patience. They would never listen to their own doctor.

560
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: So they're like, you're wrong. I know it's not you know,

561
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: which I was like, Oh, I would hate to have

562
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: a doctor at the base. No, they did say, quote,

563
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: we listened to doctors and respect them, but they don't

564
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: always get it right, so we end up doing what

565
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: we feel is best. Right. They also kind of acknowledged similarly, like,

566
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, yes, doctors are smart, they are spent years studying. Yeah,

567
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: and but we're just going to do our thing. The

568
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: next year, Stacy won the Miss Kentucky Wheelchair beauty pageants.

569
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: I love it. There's a whole video of her winning.

570
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. It's wonderful, little ceremony. That it was her

571
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: third time participating, she said she always had so much

572
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: fun doing it, and she said in her acceptance speech, quote,

573
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: I guess after every thing I've achieved, all my accomplishments,

574
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: I just wanted to come and encourage other people to

575
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: get involved with this and just kind of do something fun. Yeah,

576
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: why not love it. They spent the next seven years

577
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: living a fairly normal life as far as we can tell.

578
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: She said in Daily Mail that she believed that parenthood

579
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: brought her and her husband even closer together than ever before,

580
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: saying quote, I didn't think it was possible to love

581
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: him more, But since we've had our son, I think

582
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: I fall for Will a bit more each day. It

583
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: sounds like Will really contributed and that that can really

584
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: help my goodness that I think it's probably not that

585
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: I would know, because again we don't have kids, but

586
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: I would imagine it to be a very big turn

587
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: off to have a kid with a guy who's like,

588
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: I ain't touch on that thing until it's six years old,

589
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: and like, you know, I got it. That would be like, Okay,

590
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you think I'm suddenly so amazing

591
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: cleaning up ship and vomit and stuff like anyone can

592
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: do it. Get over here, all right now, I told

593
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: you all this at the beginning, Okay, I'll warned you,

594
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: so keep those eyes dry if you're out there listening

595
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: to this while you're driving. August thirty one, Will Harold

596
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: announced that his wife Stacy had passed away in her sleep.

597
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: And we don't know the details, but she defied the odds.

598
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: She found love, She brought life into the world. She

599
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: spread joy to others. You know what a life? Hell yeah,

600
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: ask her better than that, and you know, yeah she did.

601
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: You know. She was like, this is important to me,

602
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: and I know that it's hard, it's going to be

603
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: it might even kill me, but that I need it,

604
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's what I want to do with myself.

605
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: And so she did it, and I think that's awesome.

606
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: It really is awesome. She got there. So good for you, Stacy.

607
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: Good job, Stacy, way to be happy to tell your

608
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: story here. Well, uh, that should bring us to a break.

609
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: In the end of that story, we come back. We're

610
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna tell an ancient story about babies from beyond, Babies

611
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: from the Bell, Mommies and babies. That's what we're getting

612
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: to next. Stay tuned after the break and we will

613
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: be right back. Welcome back to the show, everybody. So yeah,

614
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: our third story about little bit of babies is from

615
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: a long time ago, and it has a triple twist.

616
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: It's like a cool ice skating trip. So in a

617
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: mummy and it's sarcophagus was donated to the University of Warsaw, Poland,

618
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: and soon went on display in the National Museum in Warsaw,

619
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: and it was quickly and simply labeled mummy of a lady.

620
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: All right, Sure, I hope one day I'm into somewhere

621
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: in a museum and it just says a guy, some guy,

622
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: some guy, tell my story. My story. Now. Allegedly, this

623
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: sarcophagus was found buried in the Royal Tombs of Thebes

624
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: in Egypt, but according to The New York Times, scientists

625
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: were not comfortable listing that as the definite place of

626
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: origin because the apparently in the eighteen hundreds people were

627
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: a little loose with the truth when they said where

628
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: they had found archaeological artifacts, which kind of makes sense

629
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: in so many ways. Yeah, right, because it might have

630
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: been like, oh, yeah, I found this in a hidden

631
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: tomb under the sad when they infect us, like stolen

632
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: off the back of a truck, okay for real, or

633
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: or or it's like I found it that I was

634
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: somewhere I was supposed to be in. So I said,

635
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: I got it from the place where I am supposed

636
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 1: to be. So. Miss Mummy was on display in Warsaw

637
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: for over a hundred and fifty years before in the

638
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, year one thousand, nine hundred ninety, radiological exams

639
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: led some scientists to believe that this wasn't a woman

640
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: at all. Translations of hybrid glyphs on the sarcophagus revealed

641
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: that this was actually the coffin of a high priest.

642
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: His name was Hardt. So finally, after all this time,

643
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: this hard working man finally got the recognition he deserved

644
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: ever being completely misidentified for fifty years. All right, say

645
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: it well in a new study got started. This time

646
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: teams of archaeologists were studying mummies to learn about causes

647
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: of death and like ancient diseases. So they looked all

648
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: over the mummy of poor Jehuti and threw dozens of scans,

649
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of learned what they could, and when they figured

650
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: out what they needed to know, they got ready to,

651
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, wrap things up and move on to the

652
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: next mummy. Mummy jokes, they're so easy. But before they did,

653
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: they're Archaeologist Marzina Ozarek decided to take another look at

654
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: the mummies pelvic scans, and that's when she noticed quote

655
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: a familiar image to a parent of three children, a

656
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: tiny foot. Yes. On further investigation, they discovered that this

657
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: tiny foot belonged to a tiny feet of and just

658
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: to confirm, they ran some more tests and found out

659
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: that this mummy was indeed a woman. But no, they

660
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: were right the first time. Likely this woman was between

661
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: twenty and thirty years old when she died, and after

662
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: a scan revealed the shape of a fetus inside. They

663
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: measured its head and determined it to be between twenty

664
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: six and thirty weeks old. All this interesting dot Com

665
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: says that while archaeologists have found many burials of pregnant

666
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: women from ancient Egypt, this was the first time anyone

667
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: had discovered a pregnant mummy. WHOA what a find. So, yeah,

668
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: it turns out they were right the first time. The

669
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: mummy was a woman. After all, Miss Mummy is back.

670
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: But how did that happen? I mean, the sarcophagus clearly

671
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: stated that this was a male priest. Mr Horge Hootie Well.

672
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: Dr Voichick Eisman, who's the co director of the Warsaw

673
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: Mummy Project, says that it's a rare but complicated problem

674
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: that sometimes comes up with it option archaeology. In the

675
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, tomb raiders would come in. They'd

676
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: grab a bunch of starf cough guy, bust them open,

677
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, pull out the mummies lose all their jewels

678
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: and treasures that they were buried with. Sometimes they had

679
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: like unwrapped part of the mummy to get to a

680
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: necklace or something that they want. Probably, yeah, I'm sure

681
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: because they don't know why they had no respect for

682
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: that stuff? Why not? So, yeah, they would just take

683
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: all their ship and then just kind of toss them

684
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: back into whichever sarcopa guy was nearest and throw them

685
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: back in the tomb. So Dr Eisman estimates that about

686
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: ten per cent of mummies are actually found in the

687
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: wrong coffin. So miss Mummy got put into hard jehoities coffin.

688
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: But what was going on on the inside? You know,

689
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: they say it's not what's outside matters, it's what's inside

690
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 1: that counts okay. So scans showed that there were mummified

691
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: bundles in her chest cavity, which they understand to be

692
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: her lungs, liver, stomach, intestines, and heart, which had been

693
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: separately embalmed and reinserted before she was wrapped. This is

694
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: standard mummification stuff. But why hadn't they embombed the fetus

695
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: and why didn't it show up on any scans? Well,

696
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: this created a big discussion, right Uh. Theories that Dr

697
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: Eisman proposed included that maybe the Egyptians thought that the

698
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: unborn child did not yet have a soul, or maybe

699
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: they thought that removing it would be too damaging to

700
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: the mummification process. Researchers suggested that ancient Egyptians may have

701
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: seen the unborn baby as quote still an integral part

702
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,959
Speaker 1: of the body of its mother. So it's actually still

703
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's like an organ that she has until

704
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: it's born. All that's interesting. Dot Com points out that

705
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: names are very important to ancient Egyptians, and if the

706
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: baby had not had a name yet, they might have

707
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: thought that it couldn't get into the afterlife except as

708
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: still part of its mother, and just like, let's just

709
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 1: leave it there intact, just and not touch it. Interestingly enough,

710
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: Smithsonian Magazine said in January of this year that the

711
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: fetus was so well preserved due to a very similar

712
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: process that happens in European bog Bodies Body Recryptulous episode.

713
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: We learned in that episode that bodies that were thrown

714
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: into these uh Peat bogs in Ireland and England, Scotland

715
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: all over there would would get preserved better than better

716
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: than mummies, sometimes for hundreds of years, thousands of years.

717
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: But it was like extremely specific and distance. It had

718
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: to be certain temperatures, certain wetness, certain um. So in

719
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 1: this case, the corpses blood pH levels dropped over time,

720
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: and that created a very acidic environment for the fetus,

721
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: which would have dissolved is bones. But the salting process

722
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: they use in mummification to dry out the corps and

723
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: preserve its bones actually would have shrunk the uterus, forming

724
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: a hermetic seal around the fetus and preserving its soft tissues. Interesting.

725
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: So that's why when they were scanning the mummy for

726
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: bones with X rays, they didn't see the fetus. It

727
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: didn't have bones. So now they know how to look

728
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: for pregnant mummies in the future. They're looking for a

729
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: bad body in there. That's so interesting, they said. They

730
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: likened it to when you soak an egg in vinegar

731
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: and the hard shell around it dissolves, but the soft

732
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: stuff remains intact. Yeah, they said, it's basically like that.

733
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: So when they did like a three D scan, they

734
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: could see the shape of the fetus even though the

735
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: X rays didn't show anything there. Yeah, So there you

736
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: have it. First pregnant mummy finally recorded, identified, confirmed. Pretty cool.

737
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: That wraps up the mystery of this mummy mummy. So

738
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: don't forget if you liked this episode to wait a minute,

739
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: what this justin. In July of two, just a few

740
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: months ago, mummy expert and radiology professor at the University

741
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: of Cairo, Sahar Salim said that miss mummies pregnancy was

742
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: quote a bunch of bullship. Okay, she didn't say that,

743
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: but she said it was false. I wish he was

744
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of bulls. She said that this alleged baby

745
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: bump was actually just three bundles placed into the woman's pelvis,

746
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: either other mummified organs or maybe even just basically stuffing

747
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: to help the body keep its shape, which was not uncommon.

748
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: One of the reasons the organs are removed separately mummified

749
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: and then replaced is because if organs are left in

750
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: the body intact, they actually speed up decomposition, which undoes

751
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: the entire point of mummification. And these guys knew what

752
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: they were doing, Sure did they? Sure did. I guess

753
00:44:58,360 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: they had a lot of time to experiment. They were

754
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: around for like thousands of thousands of years, right, and

755
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: a lot of dead people experiment on constantly. Die. One

756
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: of the most interesting things I ever. I think it

757
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: was two tank common, but it might have been a

758
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: different mummy. But they were like, oh, they've kind of

759
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: figured out that this mummy had died because of problems

760
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: with its teeth, like they had like so many bad

761
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: teeth that it had led to infections. And I was like,

762
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: man like, dental work is so important. It's kind of

763
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: like it should be bubbled with your Anyway, that's a different,

764
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: different thing. People died of all kinds of crazy. Shi

765
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: Selim says that a pregnant uterus is quote very fertile

766
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: material for bacteria, so a pregnant uterus inside a mummified

767
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: body would actually lead the whole mummy to completely decompose.

768
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: She said, they never would have left a fetus inside

769
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: someone they were mommifying. And the hypothesis that embalming salts

770
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: shrink wrap a fetus inside the womb is just wrong.

771
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: So the bog body thing not true. I should say,

772
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: not that the bog bodies is false. The bog body

773
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: thing is true, but the idea that the mummy's body

774
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: acted as a bog was totally inaccurate. Now, Hya Karima

775
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: points out on Egypt Today dot com that while the

776
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: Polish studies said it had measured the fetus's head determines

777
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: its age. Remember the head, the bones aren't fused, and

778
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: the head itself could not exist without bones, because there's

779
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: no way the fetle head would have maintained its spherical

780
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: shape if the bones had dissolved. So if you x

781
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: rate it and didn't see bones, and then scanned it

782
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: and saw the shape of a fetle head, that's not

783
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: what you're seeing. There's no way it could have been. Well, yeah,

784
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: that feels obvious now you say it. Said it. Plus

785
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: Egyptologists alba Atia said that pH changes in the blood

786
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: after death would never be strong enough to dissolve the

787
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: bones of a fetus anyway. So all in all, none

788
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: of this would have been possible. Oh man, science, you

789
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: guys do be wild. And now now, on the advice

790
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: of Sahara Salim, the Polish research team, they did reevaluate.

791
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: They came back and said, LIPSI a me dam. They

792
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: got a bunch of researchers together just to be sure,

793
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: and they found out, yes, indeed, it was just a

794
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: few bundles of linen inside the mummies pelvis, no fetus whatsoever.

795
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: Co founder of the Warsaw Mummy Project, Camilla Brolinska, said

796
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: that the researchers quote failed to consult a radiology expert

797
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: prior to publication. It's so weird to me to be

798
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 1: in Poland with an Egyptian mummy and be like, yeah,

799
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, who knows about this Egypt? But I'm not

800
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: gonna ask them what do they have to offer. I

801
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: would immediately be like, yo, Egypt, tell me about this.

802
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 1: Would y'all not rap? Would y'all not embalm a fetus?

803
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: Or what would you do with it? Like surely there's

804
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: some good history. Yeah, there were some questions left unasked. Now.

805
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: The scan itself did look remarkably like the shape of

806
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: a boneless fetus, which these researchers say was caused by

807
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: a phenomenon called paradolia, which is the natural human tendency

808
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: to see familiar objects in random occurrences. I think that's

809
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: the thing where we see faces in stuff where there's

810
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: no face, like a tree bark, you'd see some face

811
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: or the moon or you you you know that one

812
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: time I saw Tilda's win in on my toast. You know,

813
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: it's just what a day for you as a good day. Unfortunately,

814
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: Bralynskis said quote this phenomenon, combined with the lack of

815
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: consultation of theories with a radiology expert only brought the

816
00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: effect of a global sensation and not a reliable scientific study. Right,

817
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: So there you have it. We now we know the

818
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: truth of this mummy until next year when this mummy

819
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: crawls up out of its sarcophagus and gives birth to

820
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: a cursed mummy baby right there in the Polish Museum's floor.

821
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: Mummy Part four. We're gonna have to assume that this

822
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: one is false. The body was a woman, not a

823
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: male priest. She was in the wrong coffin, but her

824
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: baby was not any more real than Robin Folsoms. So

825
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: to fake baby stories in this episode, totally fake baby

826
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: is although the mummy I guess, didn't really get any

827
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: perks out of it. No, she she she deserves fourteen

828
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: thousand years in back pay of unemployment, of of of

829
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: maternity leave, but the baby's bake. Well yeah, then she'll

830
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: have to pay it back, okay, right right, She's like,

831
00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 1: y'all already took all my treasures, pay my rest intitution. Maybe, oh,

832
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's her cosmic karma. Maybe she did take a

833
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: baby and got ancient Egyptian maternity leave for it and

834
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: then die and then's almost like I'm taking these jewels back.

835
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 1: You don't deserve these. Some tomb raater was like, surely

836
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: this lady is lying. I think that's so crazy that,

837
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the the story that's this mummy has gone

838
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: through and no one knows who she was, you know,

839
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: some some importance. If she was mummified, you don't give anyone,

840
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: just anyone a right but but no talent. She could

841
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: have been anybody, you know, but she wasn't pregnant. We're

842
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: pretty sure that, and I think it's interesting too. They

843
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: basically went on to say, um. Professor Selim was like,

844
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: we you will not find a pregnant mummy because if,

845
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: like she said, if you left a fetus inside someone

846
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: and mummified them, the mummy would dissolve, it would decompose.

847
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: W Yeah, because if you leave any organs, you know,

848
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: just in there to rot, you undo the whole momification process.

849
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: That's why they took out each organ and embalmed it

850
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: separately and then put it back in. Right. I was

851
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: going to say, when we were talking about that, it

852
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: was like, it feels like a pretty natural progression to say, well,

853
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: then you take the uterus out whatever is in it.

854
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: Who cares that the organ goes um so it does

855
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: seem weird too. Well, again, they should have freaking asked

856
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: some Egyptians. I guess they should have. They should have

857
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: they should have asked me. I would have said that

858
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: sounds cool. Um. I would have said, did you ask

859
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: any Egyptians have gone to a radiologist? This is interest.

860
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: This woman, uh Sahara Salim is an Egyptologist, a mummy expert,

861
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: and she like invented a type of m r I

862
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: that scans fetle tissue. So she's like the perfect person

863
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: to comment this. Like they should have gotten heard involved

864
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: from day one. You should have picked up the phone

865
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: and warsaw Man I speak to Dr Selene Piece. I

866
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: have a very quick question for her that she could

867
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: immediately answer for me. I think they're in the same

868
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: time zone. It wouldn't even been hard. So somebody y'all

869
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: have the same lunch hour. I would love to hear

870
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: from you all in this episode. Tell us your crazy

871
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: baby stories. We'd love to hear them. What's the wildest

872
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: thing you've accused your coworker up. That's what I want

873
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: to know, because seriously, I need to understand the day

874
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: that Robbin's coworker was like, I can't take it anymore.

875
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: This baby ain't real. I'm going to HR. That is

876
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: a very awkward conversation to have to have. I feel

877
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: like you would have to have bullet proof evidence before

878
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: you you accuse someone of that. You would have to

879
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: have dynamite evident receipts, you know, and to receive that too.

880
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: As person be like, I'm sorry you think that, Robbin's what.

881
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: It's no wonder it took them so long to get

882
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: to her because they were like, we gotta we have

883
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: to be one trillion percent before we even bring it up.

884
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: They were like, I'm not even doing this. I'm going

885
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: to the State Inspector General. We need to take this

886
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: out of house. Yes, yeah, I ain't touching this one.

887
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: I need to know though, what y'all if you've ever
