Speaker 1: Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Speaker 2: Hi everyone walk on The Mother Knows Death. Let's get
Speaker 2: started with the story of the day. This fast story
Speaker 2: is really disturbing. So a twenty six year old was
Speaker 2: taking what was believed to be, you know, a simple
Speaker 2: routine Uber drive from her job to her house, and
Speaker 2: she's on her phone, as most people are when they're
Speaker 2: riding in the back seat, and notices some movement going
Speaker 2: on in the front So she looks away from her
Speaker 2: phone and notices that the Uber driver is masturbating in
Speaker 2: the front seat. Can you even imagine being in this situation?
Speaker 2: I was in a situation I don't know, you claim,
Speaker 2: but luckily I had luckily I had people around me.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, it's so weird. I don't know
Speaker 2: how to explain it. It's just it's something that's so
Speaker 2: private usually, and when someone just does something like that
Speaker 2: in public, you're just absolutely shocked. You can't even believe
Speaker 2: what you're actually looking at. You're just looking like, is
Speaker 2: this really happening right now? And then when you realize
Speaker 2: it's happening, you get kind of grossed out that a
Speaker 2: person would feel comfortable enough to do that in front
Speaker 2: of a complete strain, and.
Speaker 3: Like your case with the airplane, it's like you're in
Speaker 3: a public space, but you're still somewhat in this private
Speaker 3: little section, you know. So this girl's like trapped in
Speaker 3: this car, panicking about what to do. She doesn't want
Speaker 3: to call the cops, and she doesn't necessarily want to
Speaker 3: speak up because I mean, clearly, if he's doing this,
Speaker 3: he's not right. So she's afraid she's gonna get raped
Speaker 3: or assaulted or something. So you know, she's kind of
Speaker 3: sitting there like, I don't know what to do. She
Speaker 3: notices the doors are locked. It's really scary to be
Speaker 3: in this position as a woman. So she ends up
Speaker 3: texting her boyfriend and her mom her location, and she
Speaker 3: texts her mom and says, I'm gonna be home in
Speaker 3: about ten minutes. Can you please wait for me outside
Speaker 3: because this uber driver's penis is out and I don't
Speaker 3: know what to do.
Speaker 2: So I can't imagine getting that call from you.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you have your notifications off, so
Speaker 3: I was thinking, in this situation I texted you probably
Speaker 3: wouldn't even get it.
Speaker 2: They'll way later. I know. I am really bad with that,
Speaker 2: but I just don't like hearing my phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, they pull up to the house
Speaker 3: and she had to ask him to unlock the doors,
Speaker 3: and then when he gets out, he just said thank
Speaker 3: you so much in a creepy tone, which absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 3: So she reported this to Uber, to which they wouldn't
Speaker 3: let her know immediately or not if he was fired
Speaker 3: or banned from the app because of their quote privacy policies,
Speaker 3: which she was like, well, I certainly don't feel safe
Speaker 3: ordering one ever again in this area because what if
Speaker 3: she got him again, not knowing if he still.
Speaker 2: Had a job or not.
Speaker 3: But she also reported it to the police and he
Speaker 3: ended up getting arrested for indecent behavior. But the worst
Speaker 3: part of this story is that he pled guilty and
Speaker 3: was sentenced to four weeks, which in my opinion is
Speaker 3: definitely not enough time, and then they ended up just
Speaker 3: scrubbing the whole sentence.
Speaker 2: And he got a fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, if I was hard that I would be
Speaker 2: most scared that he I mean, he knows that it
Speaker 2: was her that reported I'm sure, and now he knows
Speaker 2: where she lives, and he's embarrassed. He had to well,
Speaker 2: maybe had to do some time, but not even that
Speaker 2: he just had a good accord. He'd hire a lawyer,
Speaker 2: and you don't want him coming back and retaliating because
Speaker 2: of that. So I would be scared just in that circumstance,
Speaker 2: and I would actually love to hear in the comments
Speaker 2: section of YouTube how you guys feel about this, if
Speaker 2: you've ever had an experience with Uber or a ride share,
Speaker 2: in particular of a situation where you didn't feel safe.
Speaker 2: It does make me think of something that I've thought
Speaker 2: of before on several occasions that I wish that nine
Speaker 2: to one one somehow had a texting well so they do, so,
Speaker 2: oh okay, where because I don't know about it? Uber does,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: So this case was in Australia, so I don't know
Speaker 3: if this feature is rolled out in every country that
Speaker 3: Uber is available, but in the US at least they
Speaker 3: have a safety toolkit so you can open Uber when
Speaker 3: you're on the ride, and there's a safety toolkit so
Speaker 3: you could open it, and a couple options are you
Speaker 3: could like I could share my location with you so
Speaker 3: you could follow the track of the ride, because you know,
Speaker 3: if you're in an Uber it's geo tracking your entire drive,
Speaker 3: So that's an option. You can send it to a
Speaker 3: loved one, or there's an option to call nine one one.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming if you're in an accident. There's another option, however,
Speaker 3: to contact nine one one via a texting system. So
Speaker 3: I believe at first it matches you with somebody that
Speaker 3: works at ADT the security system, and you talk to
Speaker 3: them until you feel like you're dropped off and you're safe.
Speaker 3: But if the situation is more severe and you feel
Speaker 3: like you're in immediate danger, they can set you up
Speaker 3: with this nine to one one texting service where it'll
Speaker 3: then give the the police department your location of the
Speaker 3: ride and follow them.
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming in.
Speaker 3: Really severe situations they will track down the ride and
Speaker 3: pull the car over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's I was just talking in general,
Speaker 2: Like I think about if somebody breaks into your house
Speaker 2: at night and you hear someone in your house when
Speaker 2: no one's supposed to be downstairs or something, if you
Speaker 2: could just text some nine one one system and say, hey,
Speaker 2: can you send an officer to my house? I think
Speaker 2: someone's in my house. Yeah, Because once you make a
Speaker 2: phone call and you have to talk to someone, you're
Speaker 2: making noise, right, And there's probably lots of situations where
Speaker 2: you can't make a phone call because even think about
Speaker 2: that in cases of domestic abuse or something like that.
Speaker 2: It's just it would be kind of a cool thing
Speaker 2: to have. I don't know, I always think about that,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean with Uber, it's so it's just
Speaker 2: it's scary because you are going in the car with
Speaker 2: a complete stranger, which is what we've been told our
Speaker 2: whole life not to do. Yeah, and you know it is.
Speaker 3: It is really weird because you know, Uber says they
Speaker 3: do background checks and everything, and even if that's true,
Speaker 3: somebody doesn't have to have committed something in the past
Speaker 3: to commit something in the future, so we have to
Speaker 3: think about that. People can very well have ill intentioned
Speaker 3: their entire life and not have technically committed a crime
Speaker 3: or not been caught enough to have it come up
Speaker 3: on a background check.
Speaker 2: So that's scary.
Speaker 3: And I was even at a party last month where
Speaker 3: I had taken an Uber to my husband's work, you know,
Speaker 3: like a month or two ago, and the driver I
Speaker 3: had was fine enough, but I got in the car
Speaker 3: and he said, getting into trouble tonight, And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: and you know, he was an older guy, and Ricky
Speaker 3: was like he was probably just being a boomer about it,
Speaker 3: like a dad exactly. And you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, you don't understand what it's like to
Speaker 3: be a girl and just have somebody say a comment
Speaker 3: like that, because I'm like, great, this guy picked me
Speaker 3: up at my house.
Speaker 2: So there's like, I'm Maria, Let's let's give it some context.
Speaker 2: Actually that ever since Maria was like legit ten years old,
Speaker 2: she has accused every single person in her presence of me.
Speaker 3: But I have not accused them a stranger. I've not
Speaker 3: accused every single person, like to their face.
Speaker 2: Well in your head, yeah, like you're always just like
Speaker 2: that person was outside of our apartment and I'd be like,
Speaker 2: well they live next door. No, they're a pedophile.
Speaker 3: I'm overly cautious of people. So I just think, I
Speaker 3: don't know. It just didn't set a good tone for
Speaker 3: my ride. So then I mean, and then the guy
Speaker 3: proceeded to dump his entire life story on me the
Speaker 3: forty minute drive, so when I just wanted to read
Speaker 3: my kindle. So I'm at a party later that night
Speaker 3: just talking about how funny it is that the situation happened,
Speaker 3: and every girl at this party is like proceeding that.
Speaker 3: Everybody's telling their own version of a creepy Uber story,
Speaker 3: one of which where this girl said she was a
Speaker 3: little tipsy after going out. She was being responsible, called
Speaker 3: an uber and you know, she was in this car
Speaker 3: and then he went down a really weird alleyway which
Speaker 3: is off the normal trajectory of their ride, so much
Speaker 3: so that she got out of the car in the
Speaker 3: middle of a bad neighborhood at three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3: It was like, I'm not getting back in there with you.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. We need to do we have to
Speaker 2: say if we could figure out how to get phone
Speaker 2: calls and do like a creepy Uber Confessions Hour or
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, obviously a bunch of incidents had to
Speaker 3: happen for them to unroll this feature, or yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what I.
Speaker 2: Was gonna say.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if this, like, if you're from
Speaker 3: Australia and you take Uber, let us know if this
Speaker 3: is a feature. I even understand from her perspective, if
Speaker 3: it was a feature, just still being so scared to
Speaker 3: even you know, attempt to fix this in the car,
Speaker 3: being scared that he might turn around and assault her
Speaker 3: between the time somebody got to the car and that
Speaker 3: she doesn't know if they're going to contact him or something.
Speaker 3: So I just think this is really scary and we
Speaker 3: don't realize how vulnerable we are in these ride chair situations.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we're on airplane. Yes, all right, let's get let's
Speaker 2: get into the celebrity.
Speaker 3: N Na dough Brev, most popularly known for being a
Speaker 3: Vampire Diaries. She's recovering after getting an accident with an
Speaker 3: e bike.
Speaker 2: So she's in a.
Speaker 3: Relationship with Olympic snowboarder Sean White, who I will say
Speaker 3: was my first ginger celebrity crush. Everw aka he is, like,
Speaker 3: so not the flying tomato. He's way vetter now that
Speaker 3: he got a short haircut. But they're always posting. You know,
Speaker 3: he's an Olympic snowboarder and a skateboarder too, so he
Speaker 3: is an adventures guy and they're always posting online about
Speaker 3: these inventurous things they're doing. So she went on Instagram
Speaker 3: and posted a series of pictures saying how it started
Speaker 3: versus how it's going. So the first picture was her
Speaker 3: on this e bike, and the second picture of her
Speaker 3: was in a hospital with a neck brace, a leg
Speaker 3: brace and IV and everything. So she hasn't really come
Speaker 3: forward into the exact details of this accident, but we
Speaker 3: know she was involved in the accident related to this bike.
Speaker 2: These bikes are they're kind of a misconception of a
Speaker 2: bike when really it's kind of a low grade motorcycle
Speaker 2: in a way, and people, especially like parents, buy them
Speaker 2: for their kids, and they can go up to thirty
Speaker 2: miles an hour almost, which is which is double of
Speaker 2: the fastest you could do on the bike by yourself
Speaker 2: or an average person, right, And of course, like emergency
Speaker 2: rooms and stuff are just seeing more severe injuries with
Speaker 2: these e bikes because they go so fast. And if
Speaker 2: you look at this picture of her on a bike,
Speaker 2: it looks like she's on a motorcycle that's not a bike.
Speaker 2: It's frickin huge, so just the weight of that could
Speaker 2: hurt you too. And then there's this other weird phenomenon
Speaker 2: going on that people aren't wearing helmets as much as
Speaker 2: they used to, so hospitals are seeing this huge increase
Speaker 2: in head trauma because people are especially falling off of
Speaker 2: these e bikes, So it's essentially like being on a
Speaker 2: motorcycle that's going twenty five or thirty miles an hour
Speaker 2: and falling off to the ground and hitting your head,
Speaker 2: So of course you're gonna have major head troubles.
Speaker 3: The same could be said. There's these e scooters and
Speaker 3: popping up all over cities.
Speaker 2: I hate those time.
Speaker 3: I actually fell off one in Venice like five years
Speaker 3: ago and hurt my leg pretty bad because Ricky decided
Speaker 3: to do a flip trick right in front of me
Speaker 3: as an inexperience. And we all know I'm like the
Speaker 3: most uncoordinated person in our family, so when I had
Speaker 3: just stop quickly, it didn't go well. But yeah, they're
Speaker 3: all over cities, and you know, when you're you have
Speaker 3: to download an app. I think Lyft actually has a
Speaker 3: feature on it where you could get a scooter, and
Speaker 3: then there's other ones. But when you are setting up
Speaker 3: the app to unlock the bike to ride around, it'll
Speaker 3: tell you to wear a helmet.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, I'm in.
Speaker 3: A different city. Where am I getting a helmet right now?
Speaker 3: I don't give a shit, right, So I think that's
Speaker 3: most people's atague.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're weird, like the only thing I could.
Speaker 2: I just think it would just be totally improbable. Because
Speaker 2: even if you made helmet liners, let's say, and just
Speaker 2: hung them on every one of the scooters like we
Speaker 2: just saw them in LA and they do look fun.
Speaker 2: But I said to the kids, like, I can't in
Speaker 2: good conscience let you do this because you're gonna get hurt.
Speaker 2: And I can't put you on here with me, like
Speaker 2: we're gonna fall and get hurt. And this is everything
Speaker 2: I talk about all the time. We can't do this.
Speaker 2: But helmets are different sizes for different heads, so you
Speaker 2: wouldn't even be able to really do something like that
Speaker 2: with the ride share thing. So it's just you just
Speaker 2: have to take your chance.
Speaker 3: But it also just be worried about like lice and
Speaker 3: whatever else and just them not proper.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I was saying, like if they had liners,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, but not that that would
Speaker 2: really I don't know what I'm even saying, but I
Speaker 2: think about that too. I see I saw so many
Speaker 2: people on them, and I'm just like, God, they're in
Speaker 2: the street there, you know. It just makes me nervous
Speaker 2: and probably overall, if you did the statistics how many
Speaker 2: are used a day versus like how many injuries there are.
Speaker 2: It's probably not that bad, but the medical associations actually
Speaker 2: recommend that, especially if children get them, that they should
Speaker 2: take like specific classes for e bikes because they're different
Speaker 2: than regular bicycles that parents don't usually understand. Okay, let's
Speaker 2: get into freak accidents.
Speaker 3: So a flight going from London to Singapore experienced such
Speaker 3: severe turbulence that one person died and thirty people were injured.
Speaker 3: So on the trip, the Boeing seven seven seven shocker
Speaker 3: hit an air pocket over Thailand and requested to make
Speaker 3: an emergency landing in Bangkok. So we like, I always
Speaker 3: hear this term air pocket, but what is it? So
Speaker 3: according to Google, it's a disruption in the air current
Speaker 3: that could cause a plane to shake or may result
Speaker 3: in a temporary loss of attitude like total new fear unlocked.
Speaker 2: Right, add a loss of attitude?
Speaker 3: We had change the freak accidents to be gone fear unlocked.
Speaker 2: I feel like no, Well, yeah, because I was listening
Speaker 2: to our local New Jersey radio today and a pilot
Speaker 2: called and was talking about these things and was just
Speaker 2: saying like he was he was making it equivalent to
Speaker 2: driving in black ice. Like it's something that you really
Speaker 2: can't see come in and it just happens, and it
Speaker 2: could be really severe and there's kind of nothing that
Speaker 2: they can do about. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So the plane was carrying two hundred and eleven passengers
Speaker 3: and eighteen crew members, so thirty of them were injured,
Speaker 3: some of them with some life threatening injuries, mostly to
Speaker 3: the head. I can only assume based on previous stories
Speaker 3: we reported on that they weren't wearing seatbelts, which caused
Speaker 3: them to lift and smack their heads on the ceiling.
Speaker 3: And then well apparently it was when they were being
Speaker 3: served breakfast. So there's a high probability that at that time,
Speaker 3: you know, when you're on the plane and they start
Speaker 3: giving you stuff pretty early in the morning, it's like
Speaker 3: maybe people are just waking up or they want to
Speaker 3: get up and go to the bathroom. So if the
Speaker 3: seatbelt sign wasn't on, like, it's totally probable that people
Speaker 3: were standing up and going to the bathroom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, a seventy three year old British National head
Speaker 3: was the one that died, and they believe it was
Speaker 3: due to a heart attack. So yeah, I mean they
Speaker 3: said he had a history part problems, but they didn't
Speaker 3: really determine what his cause of death was. I think
Speaker 3: they also were saying that this was one of the
Speaker 3: first cases of a death caused in the case of severely.
Speaker 2: So I was gonna say that.
Speaker 3: So I don't necessarily consider myself a nervous flyer, but
Speaker 3: you know, everybody's been on a flight where there's been
Speaker 3: some you know, shady turbulence situation that doesn't make you
Speaker 3: feel good.
Speaker 2: So I've always had.
Speaker 3: This internal peace that I've heard that nobody's ever died
Speaker 3: from turbulence. It's always just a weird thing that happens.
Speaker 3: And now, I mean, I guess maybe if this guy
Speaker 3: had a heart attack, you could say he died from
Speaker 3: the turbulence setting on the heart attack. Maybe, but nobody's
Speaker 3: ever died from like something happening during turbulence besides having
Speaker 3: a heart attack. So yeah, and they're saying, like you
Speaker 3: should in that case, like if you ever I never
Speaker 3: had an experience of that.
Speaker 2: Hopefully I never do. But I don't want to look
Speaker 2: around at people around me to be like, is this normal,
Speaker 2: because I've only been on a plane like under ten
Speaker 2: times in my life probably, So I want to be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: looking at people, is this something that typically happens or
Speaker 2: are we about to die? Like what's going on here?
Speaker 2: But maybe you should just look at the flight attending
Speaker 2: because they're the ones that are on planes all the time.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and nothing's where. When we were just flying
Speaker 3: into Denver a couple of weeks ago, there was basically
Speaker 3: no turbulence the entire flight except when Ricky was in
Speaker 3: the bathroom, and then when I was in the bathroom
Speaker 3: like two hours late, and then when we were landing,
Speaker 3: they were like, oh, the weather's a little rough down there,
Speaker 3: so landing's gonna be a little shaky. It was like, so, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm still gonna hold my somewhat piece that nobody's really
Speaker 3: died from turbulence besides a heart condition that might have
Speaker 3: been set off from it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but just because people don't die, they've had
Speaker 2: like major head trauma, concussions, brain bleeds. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: not like I could be life affecting thing, yeah, altering thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So In another plane related incident in Indonesia, there was
Speaker 3: a passenger ladder against an airbus plane due to an
Speaker 3: alleged miscommunication. The workers on the ground had moved the
Speaker 3: ladder away from the plane even though the door to
Speaker 3: the plane was opened, which is against aviation rules. So
Speaker 3: inside of the plane, another worker was standing by the door,
Speaker 3: didn't realize the ladder had been moved, just innocently took
Speaker 3: a step backward and fell several feet until he hit
Speaker 3: the ground. He's okay, but he has injuries related to it,
Speaker 3: and there's an investigation happening as to exactly why the
Speaker 3: ladder was moved, even though they're saying it was just
Speaker 3: a simple miscommunication.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it looks so terrifying though it's I
Speaker 2: think I looked at it like there's a guy standing
Speaker 2: right underneath. So just estimating it's definitely high. It's around
Speaker 2: twelve feet probably maybe even a little bit higher of
Speaker 2: a fall, but that's like a huge fall, and I
Speaker 2: just can't imagine how scared he was. Luckily, it happened
Speaker 2: so quickly and he didn't fall and hit his head,
Speaker 2: but I'm sure he probably has a broken leg or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so the whole thing was caught on video, which is
Speaker 2: kind of nuts. But yeah, you should check the link
Speaker 2: out and click on the video because it is. It
Speaker 2: is rather frightening, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, an Amtrak train that was heading from NYC to
Speaker 3: Niagara Falls struck a pickup truck, killing three people. The
Speaker 3: three people were a sixty nine year old male, a
Speaker 3: sixty six year old female, and a six year old male.
Speaker 3: So on my assumption, I'm gonna say it's grandparents with
Speaker 3: their grandchild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't. I don't know. I did see that they
Speaker 2: identified them, but they didn't really say, at least in
Speaker 2: the articles. I saw what their relationship was. But it's
Speaker 2: it seems as if they were trying to cross the
Speaker 2: tracks and the horn was beeping. I don't know why
Speaker 2: they tried to cross the tracks, but the arms of
Speaker 2: the to protect the tracks went down and kind of
Speaker 2: trapped the car there.
Speaker 3: Well, it seems like the arms started going down and
Speaker 3: then simultaneously the car like broke down, which is why
Speaker 3: they couldn't get out fast enough, or it stuttered or
Speaker 3: something where it couldn't get past the gate in time,
Speaker 3: and then the train hit it on the tracks. But
Speaker 3: this is actually the second accident that's happened in this
Speaker 3: small town in New York where a train where a
Speaker 3: train has hit a car this year.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's like, if you don't go on
Speaker 2: the tracks, this doesn't happen. So I wouldn't even consider
Speaker 2: this to be Amtrak's no.
Speaker 3: But like if you yeah, but like if you're just
Speaker 3: you know, if you're just driving and your car just
Speaker 3: happens to break down, like that's not that's not your
Speaker 3: fall either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I just I think I don't know what.
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. Like when we just drove
Speaker 2: from we were in Las Vegas and drove to Joshua Tree.
Speaker 2: From there, we were driving through like the old Route
Speaker 2: sixty six, and there were all these kinds of railroad
Speaker 2: tracks there with no sign of other lifelike gas stations
Speaker 2: or houses or anything. And it would start flashing really
Speaker 2: fast before this huge train was coming. Like luckily it
Speaker 2: was so far there was nothing around so you could
Speaker 2: see the train coming. But I did think, like, wow,
Speaker 2: this came on pretty fast in relation to how fast
Speaker 2: the train approached where we needed to cross the street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I'm wondering if it I don't know, because
Speaker 3: I'm only thinking more into it because they said there
Speaker 3: was a second car this year that it also happened to.
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if it's a case where you know you're
Speaker 3: crossing over and then the bar drops before like the
Speaker 3: sound comes down or something, which then makes you get stuck, right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean that's what it seems like happened. They said
Speaker 3: that they were stuck in between the bar. Yeah, So
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if the car just so happened to
Speaker 3: break down at the same time, or if there was
Speaker 3: a signaling issue and maybe the bars lowered before the
Speaker 3: sound went off so they didn't know not to cross
Speaker 3: at that exact moment. It's just really terrible. They were
Speaker 3: all pronounced dead at the scene, and Amtraks reported that
Speaker 3: none of the passengers were affected or anything.
Speaker 2: I would hate to have been just I do feel
Speaker 2: like I was on a Paco train once when someone
Speaker 2: jumped in front of it and it was like shut down,
Speaker 2: and it was like this big thing, and just being like,
Speaker 2: if you take the train every day, that's just kind
Speaker 2: of bound to happen, I feel, you know, if you're
Speaker 2: a frequent user of a train. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I even when we were driving or when we were
Speaker 3: on the Zephyr train, there was a lot of branches
Speaker 3: along the train tracks and a couple cows had like
Speaker 3: broken out of the fenced area near the track, and
Speaker 3: we almost slammed into one, like on the side. It
Speaker 3: was literally walking up towards the train and it almost
Speaker 3: hit it. And I would have felt horrible if we
Speaker 3: hit it farm animal, let alone plowed into an entire
Speaker 3: car full of people.
Speaker 2: It's just so scary, especially a little kid. That sucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So our next one, a fifteen year old girl
Speaker 3: and her friend were wakeboarding in bisc Bay and Florida
Speaker 3: when another boat suddenly hit her and then left the scene.
Speaker 3: So the boat she was wakeboarding from retrieved her body,
Speaker 3: which was covered in blood. It was too late and
Speaker 3: she had died. Witnesses gave police a detailed description of
Speaker 3: the boat that had hit her, which led them to
Speaker 3: this seventy eight year old man who claims he had
Speaker 3: no idea his boat was involved in the accident until
Speaker 3: police came to question him.
Speaker 2: He I mean, I don't know. I almost kind of
Speaker 2: believe this just because of and this is just the
Speaker 2: story that his lawyer's given, so you have to always
Speaker 2: take that. But he's seventy eight, he's been boating for
Speaker 2: like fifty years. He doesn't drink alcohol, and when there's
Speaker 2: video footage of him pulling up to the dock and
Speaker 2: everything after the accident happened, he pulled his boat in
Speaker 2: and it was in plain sight of everybody to see
Speaker 2: and kind of like strolled around like nothing happened. He
Speaker 2: wasn't trying to hide evidence or or looked panicked in
Speaker 2: any way. I mean, but he's he's an older guy,
Speaker 2: and maybe that's part of the problem, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Like, we know some people that are seventy
Speaker 2: eight that are really sharp and some that are like
Speaker 2: really old. So maybe you know, that's why they don't
Speaker 2: put in writing what age you have to take someone's
Speaker 2: driver's license or boating license away because they may not
Speaker 2: see well anymore, or just may not have their it
Speaker 2: may not be as alert as they once were.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I was just I'm trying to think of
Speaker 3: all angles because I'm like, boats are really loud, right,
Speaker 3: so if people were screaming immediately, would he even be
Speaker 3: able to hear them? And then are their policy is
Speaker 3: as far as driving close to other boats or was
Speaker 3: the boat that they were wakeboarding from following policy. I'm
Speaker 3: just really curious what they're going to find in this case.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I would think if there's boats where people
Speaker 2: are getting off the boats and either swimming in the
Speaker 2: water or wakeboarding or anything, that there should be a
Speaker 2: rule that moving boats should be nowhere near those. They
Speaker 2: agree with it, because this would happen off the right,
Speaker 2: Like was there a speed limit and you wasn't going
Speaker 2: to speed lit Like, I don't know. I'm not familiar
Speaker 2: with I don't know anything about the boating world. I
Speaker 2: am interested in it. We went on a boat in
Speaker 2: Cape Cod a couple of times, and we went on
Speaker 2: the fire boat and it was so awesome and I
Speaker 2: was like, if I lived here, I could totally get
Speaker 2: into this. It's kind of fun because it's cool, like
Speaker 2: they have restaurants there that you could just leave your
Speaker 2: dock at your house and go to the to the
Speaker 2: restaurant and get food and go back and never have
Speaker 2: to go on the street. It's just kind of that
Speaker 2: super cool, like another way to move around. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by the Grocery Room.
Speaker 2: Only once in a while, I put the grocer Room
Speaker 2: on sale, and this time has come. It is a
Speaker 2: Memorial Day sal and it is going to be only
Speaker 2: twenty dollars for a year of gross and in the
Speaker 2: grocer Room I started it back in twenty and nineteen.
Speaker 2: There are thousand of posts, videos, photos, articles written by
Speaker 2: some guests. There's just so much information on there. Lots
Speaker 2: of audio too as well. And Marie and I actually
Speaker 2: have been doing mother nos Death. We did about fifty
Speaker 2: episodes before we even came on the air to you guys.
Speaker 2: So if you're interested in listening to any of that,
Speaker 2: it's just so much stuff. It'll keep you busy for
Speaker 2: hours and hours and hours a day. And we put
Speaker 2: out new stuff every day, so you can go to
Speaker 2: the grossroom dot com and the sale starts. When does
Speaker 2: a sal start on Sunday? On Sunday? Yes, and we
Speaker 2: will see there. Let's get into violent crime.
Speaker 3: So in Brazil, a woman has been sentenced to jail
Speaker 3: for about four and a half years after cutting her
Speaker 3: husband's penis off and fleshing it down the toilet. So
Speaker 3: this one's a doozy, so buckle up. After learning her
Speaker 3: husband had sex with her fifteen year old niece multiple times,
Speaker 3: the woman then learned her husband to bed promising him.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 3: By the way, the age of consent in Brazil is
Speaker 3: fourteen years old. So at first I was thinking this
Speaker 3: story was like your sex predator, so I'm going to
Speaker 3: cut your dick off, But this article is painting it
Speaker 3: out to be it was just an incident of jealousy.
Speaker 3: So she tied his arms and legs to the bed
Speaker 3: with her underwear, turned the lights off, and then bust
Speaker 3: it out a razor and cut his dick off. She
Speaker 3: said she flushed it down the toilet so surgeons couldn't
Speaker 3: reattach it. And shockingly, after the trial and she was sentenced,
Speaker 3: they made up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just a pure story of like how
Speaker 2: do people live? Right, this lady looks insane. You could
Speaker 2: tell she's insane just by the way her eyebrows look. Okay,
Speaker 2: if you look at the article, she just looks like
Speaker 2: you don't want to mess with this stick, right? But
Speaker 2: I mean when I we actually covered this story, Ray,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember when it first happened,
Speaker 2: when we were doing the podcast in the gross room,
Speaker 2: and now she just got sentenced recently, and that's why
Speaker 2: we're talking about this again. But of course my first
Speaker 2: thought is like, okay, a grown man's having sex with
Speaker 2: a fifteen year old. Good. I don't care, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't feel bad about this, But the legal age
Speaker 2: of consent is fourteen years old in Brazil, so that
Speaker 2: sounds like a brazil problem. And it's actually terrible for
Speaker 2: women that live in Brazil because I'm sure they're getting
Speaker 2: young women especially are getting taken advantage of all the
Speaker 2: time by older dudes like this. But I love that
Speaker 2: she flushed his penis down the toilet. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: that's just pretty amazing. And she had it thought out
Speaker 2: because she didn't want it to be able to be reattached.
Speaker 2: I mean, she's she is, like, she's kind of a
Speaker 2: crazy person. But even more of a crazy person is
Speaker 2: the next story. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So in the next case, police in Grand Junction, Colorado
Speaker 3: got a call from a local hotel from a hysterical
Speaker 3: woman saying she believed her boyfriend was dead, but could
Speaker 3: not provide any more context.
Speaker 2: On what happened.
Speaker 3: So police get to the hotel and notice there's blood
Speaker 3: all over the bed. They said his naked, a naked,
Speaker 3: unresponsive mail was lying on his back with his feet
Speaker 3: under the bed, so they started to perform CPR on
Speaker 3: him and then noticed that his penis was missing and
Speaker 3: it had apparently been cut off his body.
Speaker 2: He also had a stab.
Speaker 3: Wound in his leg, so he was pronounced dead at
Speaker 3: the scene. Officers found then a Quote severed penis in
Speaker 3: the trash can inside of the hotel bathroom. So the
Speaker 3: woman told an officer that she and the boyfriend had
Speaker 3: previously got into an argument because at first he wouldn't
Speaker 3: let her go to sleep and she had threatened to
Speaker 3: stab him. Then the next morning she thought he had
Speaker 3: maybe gotten her pregnant again and they were arguing about
Speaker 3: the paternity of the baby, to which she then stabbed
Speaker 3: him in the leg and then cut his penis off.
Speaker 2: So she said, throughout the day.
Speaker 3: He started getting cold and was worried he was gonna die.
Speaker 3: So you know, she went to the store. She bought
Speaker 3: rubbing alcohol, antibiotics, and beer, but she said she forgot
Speaker 3: to buy bandages, like I don't think that was fixing
Speaker 3: this situation. And then after he started getting more cold
Speaker 3: throughout the day, she gave him ibuprofen, water and Quote
Speaker 3: greens and then he eventually died. So she was arrested
Speaker 3: and charged with second degree murder.
Speaker 2: This is actually so psychotic, like she stabbed the guy
Speaker 2: and everything and then she kind of kept them, tried
Speaker 2: to keep them alive a little bit, and while he
Speaker 2: was suffering and bleeding to death. It's and that doesn't
Speaker 2: happen either. Well, I lie, if he gets stabbed in
Speaker 2: the leg in the femeral artery, that could happen pretty fast,
Speaker 2: But I don't know where the stab one was. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it went into a major artery. But
Speaker 2: even amputating the penis, it wouldn't cause someone to bleed
Speaker 2: to death really fast like it would if you cut
Speaker 2: off somebody's leg or arm or something like that, or
Speaker 2: slip slit their neck. But I just don't I don't see,
Speaker 2: like I feel like she's seriously having some kind of
Speaker 2: mental breakdown. Went to the store alcohol on that that
Speaker 2: probably felt real great. I can't even imagine, and just
Speaker 2: I mean, just think about you know, you're in CBS
Speaker 2: and you're and you're buying tampons or something, and the
Speaker 2: girl next to you, you just see, oh, she's got
Speaker 2: a guy at the hotel room that she's buying alcohol
Speaker 2: for to put on his penis that she just I
Speaker 2: also imagine.
Speaker 3: Her putting one little normal sized band aid like over
Speaker 3: the area and then like walking in on that scene
Speaker 3: of just this tiny band aid like covering where she
Speaker 3: just cut his entire penis off.
Speaker 2: It's well and think that's the first thing I thought
Speaker 2: of when I heard of this story, Like these poor
Speaker 2: cops and first responders just walk into this crazy shit,
Speaker 2: like what like all the time, we hear it every
Speaker 2: single week that they're just walking into these crazy situations.
Speaker 2: And I just the story is even weirder because if
Speaker 2: the guy got injured, like why didn't he try to
Speaker 2: call nine one one when she left? Was he did
Speaker 2: he lose that much blood that he just was too
Speaker 2: weak to move?
Speaker 3: Or I mean, you don't know, maybe he had some
Speaker 3: mental things going on, or yeah, maybe he was too
Speaker 3: weak and he couldn't move, or she made sure like
Speaker 3: the phone was disconnected.
Speaker 2: We just don't know what was going on. They were
Speaker 2: in a hotel, right, so I mean there is a phone.
Speaker 3: She might have disconnected it, like you just don't Also
Speaker 3: lengths she went to.
Speaker 2: That's like another thing too write, So you're what happens
Speaker 2: in hotel rooms that you don't even know about? So
Speaker 2: did these people leave? You know, she gets arrested, he
Speaker 2: goes to the morgue. You have this big blood spot
Speaker 2: on the floor because of a penis bleeding out, And
Speaker 2: what do they do just rip up the carpet and
Speaker 2: put in a new one, and then the next you know,
Speaker 2: they're running it out like the next week or something.
Speaker 3: So actually, when we were in Vegas, when we were
Speaker 3: on the elevator, two of the cleaning people got on
Speaker 3: with us and they were just like clearly exhausted, and
Speaker 3: you know, Ricky just has to talk to everybody, so
Speaker 3: he was like, oh, do you guys see some wild shit?
Speaker 3: And they were like, you have no idea what we
Speaker 3: see here. We could write novels about stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, in Vegas especially, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2: They said, just I'd actually really like to know some
Speaker 2: of the stories they said just that morning, because it
Speaker 2: was Sinco de Mayo the day before that. They were
Speaker 2: just like, we just found They're like, so many people
Speaker 2: were so beyond blackout drunk the day before that. They
Speaker 2: found like underwear and ice buckets and just like really
Speaker 2: weird stuff in people's rooms. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: But I would love to read a book written about
Speaker 3: what they find. I think that would be so interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cause it's just you hear all these stories about
Speaker 2: even I don't remember what it was, some like older
Speaker 2: rockstar bon Jovi or like one of those kinds of people.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was specifically them, but just
Speaker 2: like getting these hotel rooms back in the eighties with
Speaker 2: these crazy parties and like having live animals there and
Speaker 2: just like just just complete mayhem like and then you
Speaker 2: have to think, like some poor persons coming in in
Speaker 2: the morning and having to clean that up. I feel
Speaker 2: terrible just because my hair falls out everywhere or something.
Speaker 2: And they probably loved getting just like normal rooms to
Speaker 2: clean up after all.
Speaker 3: Right, So our next story. In nineteen ninety eight, a
Speaker 3: teenager had gone missing in Algeria during the Algerian Civil War.
Speaker 3: When he never returned, his family believed he was just
Speaker 3: simply a casualty of war, although they never had confirmation
Speaker 3: of this, and his mother believed for the rest of
Speaker 3: her life that he was still alive, maybe even close
Speaker 3: to them, and she died in twenty thirteen without any answers.
Speaker 3: So now, at forty five years old, twenty six years later,
Speaker 3: he has been rescued from a neighbor's house only six
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty feet from his family's home. I know.
Speaker 2: That's so. I mean, it's a good story, but is
Speaker 2: he is he okay?
Speaker 3: Like, mentally, I doubt he's okay if he's been kidnapped
Speaker 3: for twenty six years and.
Speaker 2: They said they found them under hay or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so a sixty one year old man was arrested in
Speaker 2: connection with the kidnapping. Somebody, This is what's kind of
Speaker 2: unclear to me. Somebody who knew the suspect posted on
Speaker 2: social media saying they believed this guy was involved in
Speaker 2: the kidnapping, which then caused police and the family to
Speaker 2: go to the property and look for him. So I'm
Speaker 2: kind of unclear how the association was made or if
Speaker 2: he was at the house and saw something where it
Speaker 2: was like a year's long, this guy's a creeper, blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. You know.
Speaker 3: So anyway, they go to the house and they found
Speaker 3: the guy in a haystack in the backyard, and when
Speaker 3: they found him, the suspect tried to flee the scene,
Speaker 3: although when they first arrived, he seemed really calm and collected.
Speaker 2: Well, think about this, a grown man is kidnapping a
Speaker 2: teenage boy. Like, nothing good is coming of that, right?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: And what I don't even want to think about what
Speaker 2: that kid's life was.
Speaker 3: No, and what's even the weirder to add to the
Speaker 3: story is that the family of the victim their dog
Speaker 3: was constantly sniffing around this guy's property and then one
Speaker 3: day showed up dead from a poisoning.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I and it's weird that the family didn't kind
Speaker 2: of pick up on I mean, maybe they did. They
Speaker 2: could have possibly even searched around there and just been like,
Speaker 2: why is this dog always on this person's property. It's
Speaker 2: a little wit I think just when you're in.
Speaker 3: A level of grief like that of losing somebody, just
Speaker 3: really obvious signs just go by you. And there also
Speaker 3: just has to be this complete disbelief that it could
Speaker 3: quite literally be happening in your backyard.
Speaker 2: It's such a shame, and it's more a shame that
Speaker 2: the mom died before getting any peace with this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I mean, at the end of the day, at
Speaker 2: least he's been rescued and hopefully he could go through
Speaker 2: some treatment to try to have somewhat normal quality of
Speaker 2: life after this. Yeah.
Speaker 3: All right, So our last violent crime. Last week, an
Speaker 3: investigation uncovered that an HIV positive sex worker made contact
Speaker 3: with over two hundred clients after a positive diagnosis in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of questions about this because they're
Speaker 2: trying to say that this person figured out that they
Speaker 2: were HIV positive and they were still continuing to be
Speaker 2: a sex worker. And I don't know what the rules
Speaker 2: are because now a days, there's anti retroviral medications that
Speaker 2: they can lighten your load of HIV so much that
Speaker 2: it's not even detectable. And let's say a husband and
Speaker 2: wife are together and the husband as HIV and the
Speaker 2: wife doesn't. If they're on the proper medication and their
Speaker 2: viral load is so low that you can't detect it anymore,
Speaker 2: they're considered to be safe to have sex with each
Speaker 2: other at that point. So I'm wondering if she was
Speaker 2: diagnosed two years ago, I'm assuming that she hasn't gotten
Speaker 2: any treatment for it, and that's why they're still considering
Speaker 2: this to be That's why we put it in the
Speaker 2: violent crime section, because this is you're giving someone a
Speaker 2: disease that could be deadly without letting them know about it,
Speaker 2: especially when you do know about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they determined through phone records that she was
Speaker 3: in kind with at least two hundred and eleven people
Speaker 3: in business transactions with them. So now they're working to
Speaker 3: contact all two hundred and eleven individuals that may have
Speaker 3: been affected by this, and they're encouraging them to all
Speaker 3: be brutally honest. So they could, you know, follow the
Speaker 3: line of exactly how far this is gonna go.
Speaker 2: I just don't. I don't really know why this is
Speaker 2: much of a story. Like, if you're having sex with
Speaker 2: the sex worker, are you assuming that they that they're
Speaker 2: like really clean and safe? I mean there has to
Speaker 2: be some level of You're you're having sex with a
Speaker 2: person that you knows have sex with so many people
Speaker 2: that there's a certain level of risk associated with it, right,
Speaker 2: Yeah don't. I don't really, I don't. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: messed up if she knows about it and she's doing it,
Speaker 2: But like you shouldn't. You really shouldn't be having sex
Speaker 2: with a sex worker without protection.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. I just yeah, I don't really,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess there's a lot more to this.
Speaker 3: Maybe we don't even understand yet, but yeah, maybe I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just kind of like, isn't isn't
Speaker 2: not like because they also said is not why it's frown.
Speaker 3: They also said this sex trafficker, this sex worker came.
Speaker 3: They found this sex worker because she was part of
Speaker 3: a sex trafficking organization. So I'm sure there's a lot
Speaker 3: more to have to do with this, which is what
Speaker 3: makes the criminal charges.
Speaker 2: So all right, medical news, all right.
Speaker 3: An NYC law student is claiming her addiction to eating
Speaker 3: cheese got so bad that she had to go to
Speaker 3: a six thousand dollars per week rehab. So in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 3: this girl says she started craving cheese and binged on
Speaker 3: the quote cheapest bricks of white cheddar and parmesan almost daily.
Speaker 3: Although I'm gonna like, let's take it in perspective for
Speaker 3: a second. She said she used to buy her cheese
Speaker 3: out Whole Foods, which if you're looking's if you're looking
Speaker 3: for the cheapest cheese, you're not going to Whole Foods.
Speaker 3: So she started off her addiction with white cheddar and
Speaker 3: parmesan almost daily. She said she would just straight up
Speaker 3: eat the block of cheese with her hands and let
Speaker 3: and eventually was eating five and a half blocks of
Speaker 3: cheese per week, which is so much, so she rapidly
Speaker 3: gained weight until she hit one hundred and seventy two pounds.
Speaker 3: I guess her normal weight is around one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty three pounds, which she's now at now. But she
Speaker 3: had stopped menstruating for five months during her binge and
Speaker 3: became at risk for type two diabetes. It got so
Speaker 3: bad that her mother sent her to a reheb in
Speaker 3: Hilton Head, costing nearly six thousand dollars per week to
Speaker 3: treat the eating disorder.
Speaker 2: This story just reeks of what you would say privilege, right, like, oh,
Speaker 2: you went to you went to Hilton Head for a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. That's six thousand dollars for retreat because
Speaker 2: of your gourmet cheese addiction. Like it's serious. And the
Speaker 2: reason that I'm even more annoyed is because when you
Speaker 2: look at the article, there's like these weird pictures of
Speaker 2: her all over it, like lambed up, like like posing
Speaker 2: with cheese and then like with her dear bag and
Speaker 2: the cheese and stuff, and you're like, you kind of suck, lady,
Speaker 2: and she really does. But there's this doctor who authored
Speaker 2: a book called The Cheese Trap, who he wrote that
Speaker 2: cheese contains opiate opiates that attached to the same brain
Speaker 2: receptors as fetanoyl or other narcotics, and you actually could
Speaker 2: get addicted to the caseyin in cheese, and it's called
Speaker 2: a dairy like a dairy addiction, but they will call
Speaker 2: it like a what do they call it crack? They
Speaker 2: call dairy crack, dairy crack. Yeah, so yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just think this, but don't worry.
Speaker 2: She took ozempic and lost the fifty pounds and now
Speaker 2: she only has it when she's stressed out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this story just freaks a bullshit to be so like,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you got an article on the New York Post,
Speaker 2: So this.
Speaker 3: Is what you you really want to be around for
Speaker 3: the girl that went to rehab because of geees. Like people,
Speaker 3: it's it's giving desperate onto the next. I don't think
Speaker 3: we covered this on Mother Nose Death because of when
Speaker 3: it came out in September of last year. I know
Speaker 3: we did on the grocer Room podcast, but a tenth
Speaker 3: grader had died in September of last year after eating
Speaker 3: the Pockey chip as part of the One Chip Challenge.
Speaker 3: So the challenge god for participants to eat this chip
Speaker 3: and then see how long they could go without consuming
Speaker 3: other food and water. It was really to see how
Speaker 3: well you could tolerate the spice level. So now the
Speaker 3: autopsy results are in saying he died from eating a
Speaker 3: large quantity of chili pepper extract and also had a
Speaker 3: congenital heart defect. So what are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 2: So sometimes a tenth grader is like cow old, it's fifteen, fifteen, sixteen. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so there's sometimes that kids that are teenagers might have
Speaker 2: a heart defect that wasn't bad and off their entire life.
Speaker 2: That clearly like they made it to tenth grade without
Speaker 2: anybody knowing, So it's not it's not like they can't
Speaker 2: live with it, but something can trigger it that could
Speaker 2: make it cause death, like in this case, this capstation
Speaker 2: that's used with these chips, these extra strong chili powder,
Speaker 2: that's causing these people to get really sick. This isn't
Speaker 2: actually the only person that's gotten sick of doing this challenge,
Speaker 2: which is why they eventually pulled it off of the
Speaker 2: market at this point. But he was born so when
Speaker 2: they did the autopsy, they found that his heart was big,
Speaker 2: or he had cardio megle, and he also had a
Speaker 2: condition that was called myocardio bridging of the left anterior
Speaker 2: descending artery, which normally the coronary arteries are above the
Speaker 2: heart muscle and in this case it's within the heart muscle.
Speaker 2: And obviously the kid's been living with this and this
Speaker 2: has been fine, and maybe if he didn't have any
Speaker 2: kind of super traumatic body events the rest of his life,
Speaker 2: he could have lived with this and lived to be
Speaker 2: an older person. But or even had an issue where
Speaker 2: he went to the hospital and they detected it and
Speaker 2: were able to repair it. But in this case, it
Speaker 2: was it seems so innocent because it's a chip, but
Speaker 2: it's it's trauma to your body. I mean, do you
Speaker 2: I had we went to that restaurant for Gabe's graduation
Speaker 2: and I had you know how they gave us two things,
Speaker 2: a horse radish and one was like a creamy one
Speaker 2: and one was like the high octane one. Well, I
Speaker 2: had the high octane one by accident. It's essentially like
Speaker 2: was sabi. I took such a big spoonful of it though,
Speaker 2: because I thought it was like the water down one,
Speaker 2: and it gave my body, like the weirdest reaction, like
Speaker 2: my nose was burning so bad, and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, if that feeling never went away, I
Speaker 2: would I would want to die. It's like terrible, like
Speaker 2: I felt like I was drowning underwater or something. And
Speaker 2: this spice could have the same that kind of effect
Speaker 2: on a person and on their heart, and it was
Speaker 2: just too much for the heart to take. And in
Speaker 2: the literature they said that this capstation can cause toxicity
Speaker 2: and caused the schema eschemia to the heart muscle, which
Speaker 2: is death to the heart muscle or like a heart
Speaker 2: attack essentially. So maybe if another kid had something like
Speaker 2: this that didn't have an underlying heart defect, But like
Speaker 2: you're marketing these towards kids, they're all stock.
Speaker 3: So they came out and said they the labeling says
Speaker 3: it's not for children and not for people with underlying
Speaker 3: health conditions, which how was this boy supposed to know
Speaker 3: he had an underlying health condition?
Speaker 2: But it's on TikTok. So they go to the store.
Speaker 3: Exactly, It's kind of what we're talking about with vaping,
Speaker 3: Like their labels say it's not for kids, but their
Speaker 3: marketing really isn't saying the same thing, especially when you're
Speaker 3: turning to TikTok, which is primarily used by children and
Speaker 3: gen z and younger.
Speaker 2: It should it should be locked up behind like with
Speaker 2: the cigarettes. Then, I mean, really, how do you if
Speaker 2: it's just in the aisle with with like lazed potato chips,
Speaker 2: because it was I saw it before this happened, because
Speaker 2: my kids actually pointed out to me and said, oh,
Speaker 2: that's the on chip challenge they showed me when we
Speaker 2: were traveling last year. They could have bought it, yeah right,
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I mean, it was just there on
Speaker 2: the counter with everything, especially if you're like a little
Speaker 2: not a little little kid, but if you're like a
Speaker 2: kid or a teenager and you're out by yourself without
Speaker 2: your parents there, and you're at like the store and
Speaker 2: you might just be like, oh, I'll just grab it.
Speaker 2: It happens very innocently. They don't understand the severe effects
Speaker 2: this could have. So I understand, like the company did
Speaker 2: what they're supposed to do, which is putting out on
Speaker 2: the label. But do you think a fifteen year old's
Speaker 2: gonna give a shit what's on a label when all
Speaker 2: they see is not even a TikTok challenge and all
Speaker 2: their friends are talking about it. They just want to
Speaker 2: be cool and do the challenge exactly all right. Next,
Speaker 2: a husband and wife were having sex when the husband
Speaker 2: noticed discoloration on the wife's flulva. She immediately made an
Speaker 2: appointment with her doctor, who suggested she go to the hospital,
Speaker 2: fearing she might have cancer, and after four biopsies, she
Speaker 2: was told the lesions were pre cancerous and slow progressing.
Speaker 2: So the best part of this story is that it's
Speaker 2: so cute because they're like an older couple and she's like,
Speaker 2: I haven't looked down there in a long time. I
Speaker 2: love it. So yeah, he was just like, ah, something,
Speaker 2: they'll look right down there and they buy upsted in.
Speaker 2: She had what's called VIN or evolva into epithelial lesion,
Speaker 2: which is it's the same thing that you can get
Speaker 2: in the vagina on the cervix, and it's due to
Speaker 2: HPV changes and when you have viral changes in the cells,
Speaker 2: it could start making them look a little bit funny
Speaker 2: and it could be pre cancerous changes that eventually, if
Speaker 2: you don't get it treated, can turn to cancer. So
Speaker 2: most of the cases of VIN are caused by an
Speaker 2: HPV infection with a higher risk of HPV and hopefully
Speaker 2: she's able to just get it treated. And usually if
Speaker 2: you go and get treatment, then you're good, and they'll
Speaker 2: do testing too to see if it's a high restrain
Speaker 2: of HPV or a low restrain of HPV. And but
Speaker 2: it's kind of cool because if she wasn't going to
Speaker 2: look down there for another couple years, right, it could
Speaker 2: have eventually turned to something a little bit more severe,
Speaker 2: either like a higher inner epithelial lesion or even cancer.
Speaker 2: So this is say see something, say something, husband, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Do want to say I don't think we stress the
Speaker 3: importance enough of our sexual partners. If you notice something's
Speaker 3: not normal in these areas, like I don't have the
Speaker 3: flexibility to bend down and really look up in there,
Speaker 3: and a mirror.
Speaker 2: Can only show you so much.
Speaker 3: So if you see a mole or anything that looks weird,
Speaker 3: it's definitely better to say something and have it checked
Speaker 3: out than just be like, ah, maybe that's whatever you
Speaker 3: know for sure? All right, our next one. A new
Speaker 3: study has come out suggesting it may be beneficial if
Speaker 3: people wait longer to pull the plug on life support.
Speaker 2: This is kind of my favorite story of the week
Speaker 2: because it's it's something that a lot of people have
Speaker 2: to deal with, is you have a loved one and
Speaker 2: they either they get injured or they're all or whatever happens,
Speaker 2: and they end up going into a coma and then
Speaker 2: they go on life support and they come to you
Speaker 2: and say, Okay, your family member is on life support
Speaker 2: right now, they cannot live on their own. When would
Speaker 2: you like to kind of pull the plug and end
Speaker 2: their life? And this study, so this study was done
Speaker 2: by the Journal of Neurotrauma, and it included three hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety two traumatic brain injuries, and of these they
Speaker 2: compared eighty patients that had severe injuries who died after
Speaker 2: life support was withdrawn, so that's when the family decided
Speaker 2: to pull the plug, and then eighty similar patients whose
Speaker 2: life support was not withdrawn, which would be me somebody
Speaker 2: that's like, I'm not I'm not pulling the plug ever, right,
Speaker 2: So they did want to emphasize that most of the
Speaker 2: patients whose life support was continued still ended up dying
Speaker 2: anyway in the hospital within about six days, but forty
Speaker 2: two percent of them, which is a lot in my opinion,
Speaker 2: who continued life support eventually recovered and they either had
Speaker 2: some degree of independence after their injury, and some of
Speaker 2: them even went on to have a completely like resume
Speaker 2: their normal huge number. I know it is, and it's
Speaker 2: it's like, oh my god, now, I mean I don't
Speaker 2: I kind of regret ever seeing this because now if
Speaker 2: I'm ever forced to be in this situation, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be like, yeah, but incently, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: ender to wait even if it ends up not being
Speaker 2: like you'd rather wait and see if it works out
Speaker 2: then just be like, well, I guess this is it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just it's just sad because you're like, well, how
Speaker 2: many people decided to do this because they were told
Speaker 2: to do it and then like maybe they could have recovered.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean maybe with this study and some more
Speaker 3: additional research, the kind of qualifications for it will alter
Speaker 3: over time. That's a huge number of people I know.
Speaker 2: And and and when they say, I mean you don't
Speaker 2: want your family me, because sometimes they'll come to you
Speaker 2: and say like listen, even if they do survive, they're
Speaker 2: going to be a vegetable their whole life. And they
Speaker 2: say things like that, and you're like, well, I don't
Speaker 2: want to do that to my loved one. Of course,
Speaker 2: that's you don't want to do that. But they're saying
Speaker 2: that some people like completely resume their regular life, Like,
Speaker 2: oh my god. Okay.
Speaker 3: The EU has opened a formal investigation into Meta over
Speaker 3: concerns that it isn't doing enough to safeguard the mental
Speaker 3: and physical health of children who use Facebook and Instagram.
Speaker 3: This is not really surprising to me.
Speaker 2: Why is it only in the EU? Why is it
Speaker 2: in America too?
Speaker 3: Because everything, like, think about everything, think about processed foods,
Speaker 3: for example, in Europe, they have such strict regulations over
Speaker 3: there about what can be in the food and everything
Speaker 3: that we have seen over studies over so many years
Speaker 3: that they have way less health problems associated with things
Speaker 3: like that, And you know, it just kind of shows
Speaker 3: that they care a lot more about people over there
Speaker 3: physical and mental help, seeing as they put their resources
Speaker 3: into checking these things.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I don't know, you might be able
Speaker 2: to talk to people over there that might disagree with that,
Speaker 2: but I see what you're saying. I just think that,
Speaker 2: you know, how like the World Health Organization got together
Speaker 2: for the whole COVID situation, Like, why why isn't this
Speaker 2: considered a public health crisis as.
Speaker 3: Well, really just because we have different calls in different countries.
Speaker 2: So it's yeah, I mean, I just we talk about
Speaker 2: this all the time, and I mean it's like all
Speaker 2: I could say is kids are fucked, Like what else?
Speaker 2: What else could you say? At this point, it's it's
Speaker 2: not going away, right, So we're gonna have to teach
Speaker 2: the kids how to use it. But just we you know,
Speaker 2: we have kids now that are nine and eleven years old,
Speaker 2: and it's like we don't we're not getting them phones,
Speaker 2: but they have iPads and this and that, and they're
Speaker 2: getting to the age where they want to text their
Speaker 2: friends and this and that, and we have to sit
Speaker 2: them down all the time and say, like this is
Speaker 2: forever on the phone.
Speaker 3: If you send a picture, you sent a talking about
Speaker 3: a couple of stories ago. So like the girls don't
Speaker 3: have TikTok, right, But how did they know about the
Speaker 3: one chip challenge? Because somebody they know will always know
Speaker 3: what's going on on the internet and bad things going on, right,
Speaker 3: so you have to think of just that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or they just put it on YouTube or whatever.
Speaker 2: Like I mean, it's it's the same, it's all the
Speaker 2: same thing. They yes, exactly. They knew about it. They
Speaker 2: heard it in school wherever. Like they also heard about
Speaker 2: the Kylie Jenner lip challenge, which we know that one
Speaker 2: of my kids did that with the stupid water bottle,
Speaker 2: and like, I can't but this is I know. But
Speaker 2: it's just like you can't teach their own because think
Speaker 2: about when you were a kid and your parents were
Speaker 2: talking to you and you were just like whatever, Like
Speaker 2: I was so scared of you that I listened everything. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: you're not normal with kid because because that's not normally
Speaker 2: how kids react. But I think I don't know, And
Speaker 2: this wasn't really an issue with you when you were
Speaker 2: a kid because it wasn't as much as but now
Speaker 2: it's like kids could send stuff now and it could
Speaker 2: affect them in twenty years from Loudly, they don't understand
Speaker 2: how Like it's the same thing we talk about with
Speaker 2: boomers on Facebook. They don't understand how the internet works.
Speaker 2: Oh my good. Literally they don't understand that like everybody
Speaker 2: could see everything that they're saying and doing and stuff.
Speaker 2: It's like we're in this weird situation of life where
Speaker 2: we're sandwiched in the middle of two generations that don't
Speaker 2: understand how the internet works.
Speaker 3: Kindly interesting when you put it that way, because it's
Speaker 3: like you think a sixty year old that has lived
Speaker 3: life would just grasp the concept, but they just cannot.
Speaker 3: And it's funny to they don't see them with a
Speaker 3: ten year old child's brain.
Speaker 2: And if you talk to any friend. I think I
Speaker 2: was talking to Aunt Kara about this and they live
Speaker 2: in Minnesota and her mother and stuff, and it's just
Speaker 2: like you could talk to any person that has parents
Speaker 2: that are on Facebook and they will all say the
Speaker 2: same shit about like, oh my god, my mom posted
Speaker 2: this or this, that and the other. The best story
Speaker 2: is that we have to tell the story about mo
Speaker 2: Mom and her bras I was gonna say, I was
Speaker 2: gonna tell about there's a lot of there's a lot
Speaker 2: of stories with mo Mom, but the one with the
Speaker 2: bro I was gonna talk about fuck Tiery. No, Oh,
Speaker 2: you could talk about that really quick.
Speaker 3: That it was some post that was like change your
Speaker 3: first name to the word fuck and the first four
Speaker 3: letters of your last name to fuck. So I get
Speaker 3: this suggestion on my feed with my grandmother posting fuck
Speaker 3: fuck Tiery instead of Beth qual Tiery. I was like,
Speaker 3: what are you doing.
Speaker 2: Now all the time, and it's and and like, got my,
Speaker 2: it's somewhat something I don't know. I don't really even
Speaker 2: understand why how Facebook works, is why I don't use
Speaker 2: it that much. Talk to any single person that has
Speaker 2: parents that are on Facebook, and they probably all, well,
Speaker 2: we'll share the story with about the brother. Yes.
Speaker 3: Wait, so mama, like whatever, you get notifications for any
Speaker 3: activity somebody you're friends with does.
Speaker 2: So we get a notification that she's she's gonna kill
Speaker 2: us for saying this.
Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm gonna get a text MFM me in
Speaker 3: a couple hours after we drop this. So then we
Speaker 3: get a notification that she's listed her bras for sale
Speaker 3: on Facebook Marketplace. So we're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And and actually that's another thing that my father
Speaker 2: in law did too, Like you list stuff on Facebook marketplace, right,
Speaker 2: and everybody that you're friends with can see what you're selling,
Speaker 2: so which they don't think about that. Actually it's actually
Speaker 2: there is a box you can click when you're listing
Speaker 2: something on Facebook Marketplace that says hide from friends. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but they don't know that shit, they would never do that.
Speaker 2: So it's like your your idea for the for the
Speaker 2: Instagram called Boomer's Gone Wild is just genius. So you
Speaker 2: really you could get submissions all day long because this
Speaker 2: is Beth. We love you so much, but your Internet
Speaker 2: behavior is out of control. And it's it's not just
Speaker 2: those two things. It's like we we screenshots ship to
Speaker 2: each other every day. It's like me and Maria and
Speaker 2: Louis have a text group text because all like I
Speaker 2: even see it, like in my town Facebook group, it'll
Speaker 2: be like tiger friend that does this, or did you
Speaker 2: remember this when you were a little kid, And it's
Speaker 2: always shit that like I don't even remember the toys,
Speaker 2: so it has to be geared towards like sixty year
Speaker 2: old people and stuff, you know. And then they're all
Speaker 2: commenting underneath, and you read all the comments underneath, and
Speaker 2: you're like, oh my god, do these people know that
Speaker 2: their first and last name is attached to these comments?
Speaker 2: Really don't?
Speaker 3: They just don't get it and they and they also
Speaker 3: don't know when they troll on our Facebook page that
Speaker 3: I also can see their name, So maybe be a
Speaker 3: nice person adult troll us in the comments, thank you anyway,
Speaker 3: So yeah, they're getting investigated. They're kind of just gonna
Speaker 3: check out the you know, a couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: this whistleblower came forward saying that they knew that there
Speaker 3: was all these problems with younger people and behavior associated
Speaker 3: with the apps, and they said that wasn't true and
Speaker 3: all this stuff. Oh, but they're gonna take a deep
Speaker 3: dive into their back end and look at their algorithm
Speaker 3: and their suggested content. I've spoken about this many times that, like,
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily consider myself to have a problem with
Speaker 3: the way I look right now. But when I was
Speaker 3: a teenager, you know, as most teenage girls do, I
Speaker 3: was very self conscious about my appearance and that I
Speaker 3: would be constantly being fed ads about making my stomach
Speaker 3: flatter and taking weight loss drugs and dieting. And I
Speaker 3: don't really appreciate that, considering I've never really googled that stuff,
Speaker 3: and I think I look okay right now. So like,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, is it scanning my pictures and telling
Speaker 3: me I need to be skinnier or is this just
Speaker 3: their fucked up way about going about things.
Speaker 2: So it's just it's just like, listen, me and Gabe
Speaker 2: send videos to each other on Instagram back and forth,
Speaker 2: all day long and it's cats, plants and baseball, like
Speaker 2: all the time. Both of our feeds are just filled
Speaker 2: with that, Like it's just like you just get what
Speaker 2: you look at and the whole like listening to you.
Speaker 3: I mean, people can't even deny anymore that they listen
Speaker 3: to you through your phone. But there was even an
Speaker 3: entire storyline on suc Session about this where they had
Speaker 3: a similar app and they were gonna make some motto
Speaker 3: called We're listening, and they were like, we can't put
Speaker 3: we're listening because then they'll know what's going on behind
Speaker 3: the scenes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well I was gonna say that too that
Speaker 2: there's this Netflix documentary which I think everybody should watch.
Speaker 2: It's called like The Social Experiment or something, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't remember the Social Project, I don't know, something
Speaker 2: like that, but it's about Network, which is the movie
Speaker 2: No No, No. This is like a documentary about social
Speaker 2: media and kids especially and people that run that work
Speaker 2: for these companies and run these companies. In the very
Speaker 2: end of it, after your life is totally ruined from
Speaker 2: watching it, at the very end of it, they're like,
Speaker 2: would you does your child have social media? And they're like, no,
Speaker 2: I would never let them get it until they're eighteen.
Speaker 2: Like every one of them says that it's so crazy.
Speaker 2: The people that created it and that are living like
Speaker 2: billionaires off of it say that. So Mark Zuckerberg, for example, like,
Speaker 2: do you think that his kids are going on that?
Speaker 3: And if they go on it, they probably have their
Speaker 3: own special version that he codd himself, you know, like
Speaker 3: they get special treatment in it.
Speaker 2: Also, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm honestly not surprised by this at all. I wish
Speaker 3: the United States, well, the United States is taking some
Speaker 3: actions towards them, but it's just taken a lot longer here.
Speaker 2: So whatever.
Speaker 3: I could talk about this for hours, but I'm sure
Speaker 3: people don't want to hire.
Speaker 2: Out for kids do a whole and like I get
Speaker 2: so pissed off about it, really, I just do. I
Speaker 2: just don't even want to talk about it anymore. All right,
Speaker 2: let's talk about other death news.
Speaker 3: Our last story today is local to us, and it's
Speaker 3: absolutely crazy. So a few days ago, no news broke
Speaker 3: in our area that a few cars and human remains
Speaker 3: have been pulled from the Cooper River in Camden, New Jersey.
Speaker 3: So my friend Rachel actually sent this to me first,
Speaker 3: and I had no idea this was going on. And
Speaker 3: then I sent it to you and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, which I was sitting at the softball field talk
Speaker 2: you were like, I'm all over this. Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: it's it's because it's what ten minutes not even ten
Speaker 2: minutes away from our house, and yeah, it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: we pulled a couple of cars out of the water
Speaker 2: and one of them had human remains, And you're like, okay,
Speaker 2: what And then when you hear the story, which isn't
Speaker 2: one hundred percent official yet because officials have not given
Speaker 2: a statement on this, but what happened was basically, this
Speaker 2: woman went missing fourteen years ago that lived in Camden
Speaker 2: and she had a history of depression and it was
Speaker 2: thought that she that she had possibly killed herself, and
Speaker 2: the family went to the police to try to find her.
Speaker 2: They knew what car she had, and like, she never
Speaker 2: came up and neither did her car. Like they just
Speaker 2: totally fell off the face of the planet. And of course,
Speaker 2: like your mom goes missing and stuff, you're going to
Speaker 2: fight for years and try to find out where she
Speaker 2: is and what happened, and like, is she still alive somewhere?
Speaker 2: Did she die, Is she okay? Whatever? And the police
Speaker 2: didn't help at all. So they ended up hiring this
Speaker 2: really cool organization that I ever heard of called the
Speaker 2: United Search Corps, and these people got together with the
Speaker 2: family and well, secret, we're probably going to interview these
Speaker 2: people soon so we could get more detailent on exactly
Speaker 2: how this went.
Speaker 3: I spoke to Doug this morning to try to get
Speaker 3: him on the show. He was an absolute sweetheart. So
Speaker 3: we're gonna hope to try to We're gonna manifest their
Speaker 3: interview with them on this show because their organization is
Speaker 3: absolutely incredible. This story is really incredible. I'm really excited
Speaker 3: to hear about, you know, the background, how he got
Speaker 3: to have this job, other cases they've worked on, and
Speaker 3: especially how they led to this. So, I mean, we
Speaker 3: now know the We don't know officially because they're waiting
Speaker 3: on DNA and everything like that, but we suspect that
Speaker 3: the one vehicle and the remains belonged to this woman
Speaker 3: who was missing. But where did the other two cars
Speaker 3: come from? Well that's right behind the pub and stuff.
Speaker 3: It's like the sketchiest area ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm talking.
Speaker 3: I know exactly what drives I used to drive. So,
Speaker 3: but I used to drive by there every single day
Speaker 3: when I was going to school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like there's always murders happening, I'm certain, but
Speaker 2: so I'm not surprised that that that happened in that area.
Speaker 2: It's just it's kind of cool to know that there's
Speaker 2: an organization out there that that will listen to you
Speaker 2: and will help you. Yeah. So, I mean, and we
Speaker 2: don't know the story behind it because like the authority
Speaker 2: is of being a little hush hush about it right
Speaker 2: now because they probably feel like a little dumb that
Speaker 2: some company found this car in the water with human
Speaker 2: remains and was like, Hi, you can come now, job's done. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so and assuming that there was barely anything left, just
Speaker 2: skeletonized remains at that point after being in the water
Speaker 2: for fourteen years, but they definitely know it's her car
Speaker 2: with her license plate on it. So, I mean, I
Speaker 2: guess there's a small you have to for forensics and
Speaker 2: everything do DNA just to confirm, but it's it's a
Speaker 2: great story for the family at least that they have
Speaker 2: closure now because just imagine, like we always say this,
Speaker 2: if one of your loved ones dies, it would be horrible,
Speaker 2: But it'd be even more horrible if they were missing
Speaker 2: and you didn't know what really happened. So I can't
Speaker 2: even imagine.
Speaker 3: Okay, So on to Question of the Day. Every Friday
Speaker 3: at the at mother nos Death Instagram account, we put
Speaker 3: a little question box up in the story. We even
Speaker 3: put a little box up yesterday asking for suggestions of guests.
Speaker 3: You know, this show is tailored for you, guys, so
Speaker 3: we want to know what you want on the show.
Speaker 3: So first question is what is the best part of
Speaker 3: working in a hospital pathology lab. First, let's say that
Speaker 3: a lot of people said they want to Gabe on
Speaker 3: the show, and we just want to know. Y, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like what he could be on the show if you want,
Speaker 3: But like, what are we going to talk about?
Speaker 2: You know what we could talk to him about? Actually,
Speaker 2: because we wrote in the grocer Room yesterday this is
Speaker 2: a good article if you guys are interested in joining
Speaker 2: for our sale, which starts on Sunday at the grocerroom
Speaker 2: dot com. We wrote an article about spontaneous human combustion
Speaker 2: and he was actually helpful in uh some of my
Speaker 2: theories as to why I didn't think that it was
Speaker 2: possible for that. You weren't taken.
Speaker 3: It didn't take a whole day to explain it.
Speaker 2: It did. He's he's the worst at explaining things. But
Speaker 2: I did. I did text him and got the answer
Speaker 2: out of that I wanted out of him, and it
Speaker 2: only took maybe a half hour instead of five hours.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we will. We would have him on here
Speaker 2: if you have some questions you would like to us
Speaker 2: to ask him or just talk about random fire stuff
Speaker 2: or whatever. But so sorry, I wasn't listening to what's
Speaker 2: your question.
Speaker 3: What is the best part of working in a hospital
Speaker 3: pathology lab?
Speaker 2: Oh, listen, everything's great about working in a hospital pathology lab,
Speaker 2: except working for a corporation like a hospital. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just great. It's you work. For the most part,
Speaker 2: it's like some of my my best friends forever I
Speaker 2: I've worked with or went to school with, And it's
Speaker 2: like such a weird little part of the hospital because
Speaker 2: we don't have the same thing in common, like if
Speaker 2: you work in radiology or you work in nursing, on
Speaker 2: the floor anything, it's like you all have patience, you
Speaker 2: all have the same kind of thing. And when we
Speaker 2: go it's just we go in the lab. We don't
Speaker 2: see patients. We just see each other where it's very dark,
Speaker 2: sometimes there's no windows. It's just like a different kind
Speaker 2: of a vibe. And sometimes you work with a really
Speaker 2: great group of people because lots of times they're like
Speaker 2: really weirdos, which is cool because it makes life interesting
Speaker 2: and you just I mean, some people you work with
Speaker 2: are always going to be douche or whatever, but you
Speaker 2: just you normally just get to meet a really great
Speaker 2: group of people. And just seeing pathology every day is
Speaker 2: just is just so cool. And then being able to
Speaker 2: figure stuff out when people are having problems and help
Speaker 2: them get a diagnosis and stuff. It's just really it's
Speaker 2: just really rewarding and it's a great job and it's
Speaker 2: a shame that it's ruined by a corporation. Bullshit.
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Maria, what's your favorite thing to do
Speaker 3: with your sisters? Well, I was Prince Tea. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: go there the Prince Teahouse, which is a chain of
Speaker 3: tea places opened up near us. So I like to
Speaker 3: take them to do that. That's really fun for I mean,
Speaker 3: I took Lillian by myself for the first time, and
Speaker 3: then you and Lulu came the next time. So I
Speaker 3: like doing out, all four of us, because we could
Speaker 3: just all get our little pot of tea in a
Speaker 3: little dessert and just talk. And that's always fun to
Speaker 3: hang out. I love the occasional nights when I come
Speaker 3: over and watch movies and Lillian gets so hyper that
Speaker 3: she reads the word loser.
Speaker 2: As lost or she was so annoying.
Speaker 3: She was extra annoying that day a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 3: I took them to play pickleball, which Lulu had absolutely
Speaker 3: no interest in participating in it all. But Lilian, like me,
Speaker 3: is very uncoordinated, so it was just hilarious trying to
Speaker 3: see he hit the ball. But yeah, I just I
Speaker 3: like taking them to do little fun I cactivities. I
Speaker 3: used to when they were younger, take them to the movies,
Speaker 3: but they just never really see that into it, so
Speaker 3: they'd probably be into it now they're a little older, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because they really.
Speaker 2: Like going to the movies now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I also feel like they just think they're too
Speaker 3: cool for me sometimes, so that's that.
Speaker 2: But well, they're just cool in general. They're at that
Speaker 2: age where you have to like knock them down a
Speaker 2: little bit because you're like, you're just not cool, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I just have to keep telling them they're not. I
Speaker 2: would say my favorite thing that was going to the
Speaker 2: tea place because that's something that Mo Mom took me
Speaker 2: to do a couple of times with the Deity, my
Speaker 2: cousin when I was little, so I like doing it
Speaker 2: with them. It reminds me of being their age and
Speaker 2: mom I taking us to that place in Haddonfield, but
Speaker 2: it being like a slightly better selection and having more
Speaker 2: fun desserts. So that place is good. They have such
Speaker 2: good green milk tea. It's oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the rose tea I got last time was awesome.
Speaker 3: Their desserts are so good. I get some like coconut
Speaker 3: panacatta with strawberry ice cream.
Speaker 2: It Yeah, that's delicious.
Speaker 3: All right. Last question, Nicole, how have you changed as
Speaker 3: a mother from Maria to the current kids?
Speaker 2: A lot and then not a lot. Really, I definitely
Speaker 2: like cook better. Yeah, Maria unfortunately was you know, I
Speaker 2: was a single mom when I had her, and I
Speaker 2: wasn't really making a ton of money, so we ate
Speaker 2: a lot of just you know, like she said, mactt.
Speaker 2: We had we had our favorites like pastine, mac and
Speaker 2: cheese ham steak. I didn't know how to really.
Speaker 3: Cook at McDonald's dakhove.
Speaker 2: Now I don't even think we had I don't even
Speaker 2: think Chick fil a was well that was really there
Speaker 2: was the one in Defford, so it wasn't near us,
Speaker 2: but if we went to the different mall, we would
Speaker 2: get it and that was like the ultimate treat.
Speaker 3: And then we got that one in Audubon, so then
Speaker 3: we were having it all the time.
Speaker 2: I don't think there was one at different mall. There
Speaker 2: was in the yeah, oh yeah, yeah there was, you're right,
Speaker 2: yeah that we used to get that, but that we didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there wasn't one around, so we didn't get it that much.
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, I mean she she just was kind
Speaker 2: of like I would get down from work at six
Speaker 2: o'clock and then drive her at to her after school
Speaker 2: program and pick her up, and we would stop at
Speaker 2: the grocery store or stopping a food or something Boston
Speaker 2: Market whatever, like it was just kind of really fast.
Speaker 2: So now I have more time that I could like
Speaker 2: cook better food and stuff like that, And I mean
Speaker 2: that's kind of it, Like what do you what do
Speaker 2: you think? Like we still do the same stuff, like
Speaker 2: we like watch movies and stuff, and I do their
Speaker 2: homework with don't just like regular stuff. I mean, Maria
Speaker 2: was pretty good about doing her homework by herself. She
Speaker 2: just was a good kid and like did what she
Speaker 2: was supposed to do.
Speaker 3: I jokingly refer sometimes that I got you during your
Speaker 3: fun phase because you were in like your early twenties,
Speaker 3: so meaning that like you would be more willing to
Speaker 3: take me to concerts and be out late or like
Speaker 3: pick me up from somewhere too in the morning. And
Speaker 3: I know you would do that for them now, but
Speaker 3: I feel like.
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't. I am not like when they sit
Speaker 2: there and say, oh, can we go to the Tayler
Speaker 2: Swift tour, I'm just like I would rather give you
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Than good and well that would be my worst nightmare
Speaker 3: because I absolutely don't want to listen to her music.
Speaker 3: I would take them to that, like I would be
Speaker 3: the one to take them to do things like that,
Speaker 3: Whereas when I was their age, you were young, you were.
Speaker 2: My age, Yeah, I mean I took I took you, yeah,
Speaker 2: and I took you to places like that all the time,
Speaker 2: because that was like, It's just weird how you change
Speaker 2: as you get older, Like when I was your age,
Speaker 2: I had no problem eating dinner at nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 2: Like if a reservation was available at nine, I'd be like,
Speaker 2: oh cool, like let's go. I don't want to, Like
Speaker 2: I want to be in bed at nine o'clock at
Speaker 2: night now, and I want to eat no later than
Speaker 2: five point thirty. Like This's just there's certain things like yes,
Speaker 2: I'm really not fun anymore, to be honest you, but
Speaker 2: there's like stuff like that that's just different because I'm
Speaker 2: a way older person, like I did. I didn't have
Speaker 2: Lilian until Maria was eighteen years old, so it's just
Speaker 2: I'm so much older now and there's just like different things.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm married now, so I have like help with that,
Speaker 2: and it's just there's just different things. But overall, it's
Speaker 2: we still do the same traditions like we watch we
Speaker 2: have movie night and and things like that and we
Speaker 2: go down the shore. Just yeah, you there's not there's
Speaker 2: nothing like different in that.
Speaker 3: From my perspective, you are pretty similar with them. We
Speaker 3: just also had a different situation, which I understand, you know,
Speaker 3: like they they live in the same house their whole life.
Speaker 3: We moved a lot, like you know, I kind of
Speaker 3: kept to myself and you respected that, where like sometimes
Speaker 3: like they need a little more guidance in that area,
Speaker 3: especially because there's two of them.
Speaker 2: So like if they're I didn't.
Speaker 3: Have anybody to like fight with, for example, So like
Speaker 3: if they're fighting, you got to step in and stop it,
Speaker 3: and you got to be kind of more on their
Speaker 3: ass a little bit than I had to be.
Speaker 2: So there's just yeah, but it's it's kind of the
Speaker 2: same though. Like it's like we like, especially when Gabe
Speaker 2: has work at nights, like we will watch like a
Speaker 2: series of a show or something we just had, you know,
Speaker 2: the same with you, Like we had our things that
Speaker 2: we did all the time. And it's it's basically, from
Speaker 2: my observation, the same thing with like little things adjusted
Speaker 2: just simply based on life circumstances. So I would say,
Speaker 2: it's it's funny that your motherhood style has had it
Speaker 2: really changed in a twelve year or twenty year difference.
Speaker 2: So well, it worked out well with you, so I
Speaker 2: figure I'm thinking to change things up too much.
Speaker 3: No, all right, guys, well, thank you so much. We'll
Speaker 3: see you Thursday for our next episode.
