00:01:33,605 --> 00:01:37,725
Speaker 1: which also into Okay, so lee Byum, we're gonna go

20
00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:41,605
Speaker 1: back to the Tang dynasty in China. This was like

21
00:01:41,645 --> 00:01:44,645
Speaker 1: in the seven hundreds. The story specifically is set in

22
00:01:45,005 --> 00:01:48,045
Speaker 1: the year seven hundred and sixty two, Great year. Yeah,

23
00:01:48,085 --> 00:01:53,165
Speaker 1: we're talking ancient history. And this incredible poet called Lee

24
00:01:53,165 --> 00:01:55,645
Speaker 1: Bay who was also known as he had a few names,

25
00:01:55,805 --> 00:02:00,365
Speaker 1: Lee po Taye Bye Wine, Immortal, the band is Transcendent.

26
00:02:00,845 --> 00:02:02,725
Speaker 1: He was kind of iconic and he was a really

27
00:02:03,005 --> 00:02:06,965
Speaker 1: popular poet back then. He's kind of one of the

28
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:11,725
Speaker 1: three big ancient artists of that time. There was one

29
00:02:11,725 --> 00:02:13,605
Speaker 1: who was a sword master, there was one who was

30
00:02:13,765 --> 00:02:18,325
Speaker 1: a calligrapher, I believe, and there was m Lee by

31
00:02:18,325 --> 00:02:22,085
Speaker 1: our boy, so like a sword artist who did art

32
00:02:22,125 --> 00:02:26,965
Speaker 1: with swords. No, he was just really good at swordsmanship, Okay.

33
00:02:26,965 --> 00:02:29,125
Speaker 1: I was like, that's super alt. I feel like that's

34
00:02:29,125 --> 00:02:30,725
Speaker 1: something that would be going on now where it's like

35
00:02:30,765 --> 00:02:33,165
Speaker 1: I have my TikTok I'm a sword artist. Look at me.

36
00:02:33,325 --> 00:02:34,725
Speaker 1: I was about to say, we all need to get

37
00:02:34,725 --> 00:02:37,205
Speaker 1: into the TikTok sword master. I'm sure it's out there.

38
00:02:37,245 --> 00:02:40,005
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's there's a sword hole in TikTok Um.

39
00:02:40,605 --> 00:02:43,885
Speaker 1: So the Tang dynasty, I was called the Golden age

40
00:02:43,885 --> 00:02:47,805
Speaker 1: of Chinese poetry. Arts was flourishing back then, and this

41
00:02:47,885 --> 00:02:50,605
Speaker 1: guy lee By he was a part of it. You know.

42
00:02:50,605 --> 00:02:54,045
Speaker 1: He started writing poetry at the age of ten. And

43
00:02:54,125 --> 00:02:57,165
Speaker 1: he was born to this very wealthy merchant family in

44
00:02:57,205 --> 00:03:00,405
Speaker 1: the su Yab region which is now present day Kyrgyzstan.

45
00:03:00,765 --> 00:03:03,045
Speaker 1: In that was like that area was kind of like

46
00:03:03,165 --> 00:03:05,885
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the Silk Road, so they

47
00:03:05,925 --> 00:03:08,685
Speaker 1: made money, they were friends with the nobility, they were

48
00:03:08,725 --> 00:03:12,085
Speaker 1: just living their lives. And so he grew up very

49
00:03:12,165 --> 00:03:15,285
Speaker 1: well read. He was very well raised and you know,

50
00:03:15,365 --> 00:03:18,565
Speaker 1: raised in high society. He was like a fancy boy, yeah,

51
00:03:18,645 --> 00:03:22,485
Speaker 1: fancy art boy, which you can find anywhere in Nyu.

52
00:03:24,285 --> 00:03:26,765
Speaker 1: It was said though, that so funny. I was reading

53
00:03:26,765 --> 00:03:30,165
Speaker 1: his bio and he casually, casually mentioned he killed some

54
00:03:30,245 --> 00:03:33,845
Speaker 1: people before the age of twenty for quote unquote chivalry,

55
00:03:34,165 --> 00:03:37,805
Speaker 1: So you know, different times back then. Chivalry today is

56
00:03:37,805 --> 00:03:39,845
Speaker 1: where you just opened a door, but back then it

57
00:03:39,925 --> 00:03:43,325
Speaker 1: was where you killed people for chivalry. So that's how

58
00:03:43,365 --> 00:03:46,405
Speaker 1: he grew up. Now he was kind of rebellious though,

59
00:03:46,605 --> 00:03:50,965
Speaker 1: and when he turned around twenty and obviously he had

60
00:03:51,005 --> 00:03:54,845
Speaker 1: finished his studies, he was very smart, very just like

61
00:03:54,885 --> 00:03:57,765
Speaker 1: a great overall guy. This governor wanted him to take

62
00:03:57,805 --> 00:04:00,445
Speaker 1: these exams to determine if he's fit for silboat service

63
00:04:00,525 --> 00:04:02,365
Speaker 1: or not because they wanted to put him to work

64
00:04:02,365 --> 00:04:05,205
Speaker 1: for the government or like the nobility basically, and he

65
00:04:05,605 --> 00:04:10,845
Speaker 1: is like, absolutely not, fuck the system. I'm leaving and

66
00:04:11,325 --> 00:04:14,405
Speaker 1: twenty five good for him. Left his family, I know,

67
00:04:14,685 --> 00:04:18,365
Speaker 1: left his family, left his home and literally just started wandering.

68
00:04:18,405 --> 00:04:23,445
Speaker 1: And he would start a life long romance with walking

69
00:04:23,645 --> 00:04:27,645
Speaker 1: and wandering and drinking wine and making friends. Like this

70
00:04:27,725 --> 00:04:31,205
Speaker 1: was this man's life. Sounds wondering. Listen, we can't do

71
00:04:31,245 --> 00:04:33,725
Speaker 1: it like this anymore. And it's really sad. I mean

72
00:04:33,765 --> 00:04:36,445
Speaker 1: there's like the travelers you see around who you know

73
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:38,325
Speaker 1: they had rich pair. I mean I wonder if you

74
00:04:38,405 --> 00:04:41,445
Speaker 1: got a stipend from his parents or something like mom,

75
00:04:41,445 --> 00:04:43,005
Speaker 1: like I ran out of money. I'm like in the

76
00:04:43,005 --> 00:04:45,565
Speaker 1: middle of this like random region of China. I need help.

77
00:04:45,725 --> 00:04:48,325
Speaker 1: It's actually fair that those do exist now, and they're

78
00:04:48,525 --> 00:04:51,685
Speaker 1: they're like those white people that have Wanderer in their

79
00:04:51,725 --> 00:04:54,525
Speaker 1: bio and have dreads and they say how they're so

80
00:04:54,605 --> 00:04:57,565
Speaker 1: connected to the earth, but it's only because they don't

81
00:04:57,565 --> 00:05:00,325
Speaker 1: have to worry about money. Are the people who started

82
00:05:00,325 --> 00:05:03,885
Speaker 1: the go fund me for their traveling influencing blog. That

83
00:05:04,045 --> 00:05:06,365
Speaker 1: is so lame because you know, that's what they deserve,

84
00:05:06,405 --> 00:05:08,925
Speaker 1: it's what they need. But I'm gonna say, Lee, you know,

85
00:05:09,005 --> 00:05:11,605
Speaker 1: obviously it was a different time, different things were going on,

86
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:14,445
Speaker 1: So I'm going to commend him for his rebellion and

87
00:05:14,525 --> 00:05:17,285
Speaker 1: going against the system and what his parents wanted him

88
00:05:17,325 --> 00:05:19,045
Speaker 1: to go into. So good for him. I mean, even

89
00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:21,925
Speaker 1: though he was twenty five, where you're you know, hopefully

90
00:05:21,925 --> 00:05:23,645
Speaker 1: your parents still don't have that much power of you.

91
00:05:23,725 --> 00:05:26,165
Speaker 1: But also, you know, I get family is complicated. Family

92
00:05:26,445 --> 00:05:28,405
Speaker 1: is a lot of parents though, don't want you to

93
00:05:28,485 --> 00:05:30,805
Speaker 1: go into the arts because they're like, oh, there's no

94
00:05:30,845 --> 00:05:33,885
Speaker 1: money there, right exactly. So I'm actually really proud of Lee.

95
00:05:34,645 --> 00:05:36,805
Speaker 1: And what I will say is he probably was funded

96
00:05:36,805 --> 00:05:38,965
Speaker 1: by his parents because that's kind of how he started

97
00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:42,245
Speaker 1: his wandering adventure, but he gave away a lot of

98
00:05:42,285 --> 00:05:45,085
Speaker 1: his money to needy friends and just people that he

99
00:05:45,165 --> 00:05:48,245
Speaker 1: met on the road. And so I'm kind of like, okay,

100
00:05:48,285 --> 00:05:51,725
Speaker 1: anti capitalist king, go off, And that's literally what he

101
00:05:51,765 --> 00:05:53,725
Speaker 1: did for a long time, made a ton of friends,

102
00:05:53,765 --> 00:05:58,445
Speaker 1: lived life, wrote, experienced, party to drink a lot, drink

103
00:05:58,725 --> 00:06:02,005
Speaker 1: a lot. I'll say that again, but it worked from

104
00:06:02,085 --> 00:06:03,805
Speaker 1: it for him. That's like the weird thing. Have y'all

105
00:06:03,805 --> 00:06:06,965
Speaker 1: ever met people that just you don't know how they

106
00:06:07,005 --> 00:06:09,245
Speaker 1: do it, but somehow things always work out for them

107
00:06:09,285 --> 00:06:11,325
Speaker 1: and they always just have like the best of luck

108
00:06:11,325 --> 00:06:13,565
Speaker 1: and they're always just going with the flow. And I'm

109
00:06:13,565 --> 00:06:16,045
Speaker 1: over here in anxiety ball wondering how they do it.

110
00:06:16,085 --> 00:06:19,765
Speaker 1: What's their secret? It's probably drugs, but whatever, Well, that's

111
00:06:19,845 --> 00:06:23,125
Speaker 1: kind of how this guy was just wandering around. Probably

112
00:06:23,125 --> 00:06:26,485
Speaker 1: had strong legs too, probably you know, he squatted for

113
00:06:26,525 --> 00:06:28,965
Speaker 1: all that wandering. We know he was. I feel like

114
00:06:29,005 --> 00:06:33,485
Speaker 1: we're we're projecting onto him. So they worked from him.

115
00:06:33,525 --> 00:06:36,565
Speaker 1: And the Chinese nobility actually loved his personality and found

116
00:06:36,645 --> 00:06:40,285
Speaker 1: him fascinating just I guess because he was generous. So

117
00:06:40,325 --> 00:06:42,405
Speaker 1: this like, there was this one time where he was

118
00:06:42,605 --> 00:06:45,085
Speaker 1: staying at this emperor's house for a while and the

119
00:06:45,165 --> 00:06:49,245
Speaker 1: emperor loved him so much. He personally seasoned Lee's soup.

120
00:06:49,605 --> 00:06:52,725
Speaker 1: Like emperors back then were like deities, they did not

121
00:06:52,885 --> 00:06:55,885
Speaker 1: do that. He seasoned his soup with like salt. Well,

122
00:06:55,925 --> 00:06:58,085
Speaker 1: I don't know what's kind of seasoning, but he seasoned

123
00:06:58,085 --> 00:07:00,565
Speaker 1: his soup, which seasoning soup is very important. I mean,

124
00:07:01,205 --> 00:07:03,165
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like unseasoned. Do you know more

125
00:07:03,165 --> 00:07:05,485
Speaker 1: about this seasoning the soup? Is this like a specific

126
00:07:05,885 --> 00:07:08,925
Speaker 1: ritual kind of like the Paul Hollywood handshake on bake Off.

127
00:07:09,165 --> 00:07:11,885
Speaker 1: But it's like if the emperor seasons your soup, that

128
00:07:11,965 --> 00:07:14,485
Speaker 1: means something. Is that like something he would do for

129
00:07:14,525 --> 00:07:18,165
Speaker 1: the special people? That's fascinating, what a specific thing. It

130
00:07:18,245 --> 00:07:22,165
Speaker 1: was incredibly rare. Well, you know, back then, classes were

131
00:07:22,205 --> 00:07:24,605
Speaker 1: a big deal, right, so like you had the eunuchs

132
00:07:24,605 --> 00:07:26,805
Speaker 1: who worked for the emperor's you had the people in

133
00:07:26,845 --> 00:07:29,845
Speaker 1: the emperor's court, and the emperor was obviously the highest

134
00:07:29,925 --> 00:07:32,685
Speaker 1: of highest class. And so for an emperor to do

135
00:07:32,725 --> 00:07:36,685
Speaker 1: something that usually eunuchs would do for the for him

136
00:07:36,765 --> 00:07:40,125
Speaker 1: for Lee was incredibly rare and a big deal. And

137
00:07:40,245 --> 00:07:42,805
Speaker 1: everyone in China was talking about it. It was like

138
00:07:42,805 --> 00:07:46,325
Speaker 1: like you know Bridgerton when like the little when Lady

139
00:07:46,405 --> 00:07:51,965
Speaker 1: whatever tustled down, Lady whistledown, is like, oh, Lee season

140
00:07:52,045 --> 00:07:54,445
Speaker 1: the soup and that's what happened, and that's the tea.

141
00:07:54,645 --> 00:07:56,805
Speaker 1: But it wasn't the tea. It was the soup. But

142
00:07:56,925 --> 00:07:59,685
Speaker 1: it wasn't the tea. It was the soup. Yes, So

143
00:08:00,045 --> 00:08:03,325
Speaker 1: Chinese nobility absolutely loved him. He ended up kind of wandering,

144
00:08:03,405 --> 00:08:05,245
Speaker 1: finding his way. He was a part of this group

145
00:08:05,245 --> 00:08:08,645
Speaker 1: called the Six Idlers of Bamboo Brook, which was a

146
00:08:08,645 --> 00:08:12,285
Speaker 1: group of six people somewhere in literature, somewhere in art,

147
00:08:12,365 --> 00:08:16,565
Speaker 1: somewhere just whatever. And they literally were fully dedicated. Their

148
00:08:16,605 --> 00:08:21,165
Speaker 1: lives were dedicated to literature and wine. That's all they did.

149
00:08:21,245 --> 00:08:23,845
Speaker 1: All they did was drink and read. So they were

150
00:08:23,885 --> 00:08:26,565
Speaker 1: like the first book club, honestly, yeah, And that's how

151
00:08:26,605 --> 00:08:29,125
Speaker 1: they got by. Emperors loved him and keep him on

152
00:08:29,205 --> 00:08:33,365
Speaker 1: retainer and would call for him to perform in their courts,

153
00:08:33,445 --> 00:08:36,685
Speaker 1: and many times he was drunk. It is noted in

154
00:08:36,725 --> 00:08:39,005
Speaker 1: history the many times he was drunk. But he got by.

155
00:08:39,245 --> 00:08:41,725
Speaker 1: He figured it out, and he always termed his way

156
00:08:41,725 --> 00:08:44,165
Speaker 1: through it. So he continued to wander because he was

157
00:08:44,285 --> 00:08:47,605
Speaker 1: exiled after offending this head eunuch at this palace that

158
00:08:47,645 --> 00:08:50,405
Speaker 1: he was staying at, and so the eunuch convinced the

159
00:08:50,445 --> 00:08:54,325
Speaker 1: emperor's favorite concubine to be offended by him. The concubine

160
00:08:54,325 --> 00:08:56,885
Speaker 1: toial the emperor and the empress said, dude, I have

161
00:08:57,005 --> 00:08:59,205
Speaker 1: to exile you, but here's a bunch of gold and

162
00:08:59,245 --> 00:09:02,085
Speaker 1: silver on the way. That's how much they loved him.

163
00:09:02,245 --> 00:09:04,325
Speaker 1: Did they like take the seasoning out of his soup?

164
00:09:04,405 --> 00:09:06,765
Speaker 1: After that, They're like, nope, no more seasoning for you. Yes,

165
00:09:06,885 --> 00:09:09,805
Speaker 1: so they strained the soup. But he took his time

166
00:09:09,845 --> 00:09:13,045
Speaker 1: going to his place of exile, just like walking around,

167
00:09:13,325 --> 00:09:16,005
Speaker 1: meeting friends, making new friends, like the whole thing. So

168
00:09:16,045 --> 00:09:18,005
Speaker 1: he was on his way to the island that he

169
00:09:18,005 --> 00:09:20,285
Speaker 1: was going to be exiled at. It took him so

170
00:09:20,325 --> 00:09:23,165
Speaker 1: long that he was actually pardoned, like while he was

171
00:09:23,205 --> 00:09:24,885
Speaker 1: halfway there, like yeah, but hadn't even got there, And

172
00:09:24,885 --> 00:09:26,125
Speaker 1: the Emperor I was like, you know what, We're going

173
00:09:26,165 --> 00:09:28,725
Speaker 1: to pardon Lee because he's just that creative a guy.

174
00:09:30,365 --> 00:09:33,125
Speaker 1: By then he had written like a thousand poems. Obviously,

175
00:09:33,205 --> 00:09:36,005
Speaker 1: time passed, he continued to perform for nobility. By then

176
00:09:36,125 --> 00:09:39,605
Speaker 1: he was around sixty one when this other emperor decided

177
00:09:39,645 --> 00:09:43,045
Speaker 1: to give him a high ranking position in a palace.

178
00:09:43,165 --> 00:09:45,845
Speaker 1: And Lee was somewhere off in a far away town,

179
00:09:45,885 --> 00:09:48,565
Speaker 1: and so they sent a messenger to go find him

180
00:09:48,565 --> 00:09:51,885
Speaker 1: to tell him. But when the messenger got to the

181
00:09:52,005 --> 00:09:55,725
Speaker 1: little town, they found out that Lee was dead. What happened, Well,

182
00:09:55,965 --> 00:09:58,245
Speaker 1: there's a few stories. Many think that he died of

183
00:09:58,325 --> 00:10:04,005
Speaker 1: natural causes. He was a drunk an alcoholic, you know,

184
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:09,245
Speaker 1: and he was oldish sixty one, so understandable. Yeah, However,

185
00:10:09,285 --> 00:10:11,685
Speaker 1: I have two other stories that are much more fun

186
00:10:11,765 --> 00:10:14,125
Speaker 1: and also like I want him to die in an

187
00:10:14,245 --> 00:10:16,645
Speaker 1: iconic way because he was iconic. Some say that he

188
00:10:16,685 --> 00:10:20,205
Speaker 1: also died from mercury poisoning for drinking too many Taoist

189
00:10:20,405 --> 00:10:24,085
Speaker 1: life elixers. Those elixers back then had mercury in them,

190
00:10:24,085 --> 00:10:27,605
Speaker 1: and though they were thought to up your life expectancy,

191
00:10:27,925 --> 00:10:31,125
Speaker 1: as we all know, mercury does not do that, So

192
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:34,005
Speaker 1: that could have been a way that he died. But

193
00:10:34,045 --> 00:10:36,925
Speaker 1: there's also this legend and the village folk that the

194
00:10:37,005 --> 00:10:40,525
Speaker 1: messenger went to basically be like, hey, where's Lee. They

195
00:10:40,525 --> 00:10:43,845
Speaker 1: were like, he's dead, told him this. Apparently he went

196
00:10:43,845 --> 00:10:47,165
Speaker 1: out on a boat ride, like at midnight. He loved

197
00:10:47,165 --> 00:10:49,885
Speaker 1: walking during nighttime. He just like would stroll around all

198
00:10:49,885 --> 00:10:51,805
Speaker 1: the time and go to the lakes and go to boats.

199
00:10:51,805 --> 00:10:54,645
Speaker 1: And he had many poems talking about how much he

200
00:10:54,685 --> 00:10:56,725
Speaker 1: loved nature and how much he loved the moon and

201
00:10:56,725 --> 00:10:58,885
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff, and so he was he

202
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:00,445
Speaker 1: would have decided to go on a boat right at

203
00:11:00,525 --> 00:11:03,205
Speaker 1: night and listen I get it, like I understand because

204
00:11:03,245 --> 00:11:07,365
Speaker 1: one time my friend and I were unders and literally

205
00:11:08,365 --> 00:11:10,885
Speaker 1: literally looked up at the moon. It was a full moon.

206
00:11:11,325 --> 00:11:13,245
Speaker 1: We're staring at the moon for like three hours, I'm

207
00:11:13,285 --> 00:11:15,285
Speaker 1: not kidding, And we decided to call it moon TV.

208
00:11:15,565 --> 00:11:17,645
Speaker 1: And we had a friend who had left to go

209
00:11:17,645 --> 00:11:20,405
Speaker 1: on a date like around the time that we started

210
00:11:20,405 --> 00:11:22,725
Speaker 1: moon TV, and he came back with his date and

211
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:27,045
Speaker 1: we were in the exact same position, horizontal staring at

212
00:11:27,045 --> 00:11:31,125
Speaker 1: the moon. Pupils dilated, baby, and it was a fun time.

213
00:11:31,205 --> 00:11:34,485
Speaker 1: So I do resonate with Lee on that end. The moon.

214
00:11:34,605 --> 00:11:38,365
Speaker 1: It's beautiful, Yeah, yeah, the moon's hot. And also it's

215
00:11:38,405 --> 00:11:41,245
Speaker 1: like back then they didn't have TV, so actually the

216
00:11:41,245 --> 00:11:44,325
Speaker 1: moon was the TV. So you know, it was just

217
00:11:44,365 --> 00:11:46,565
Speaker 1: like the slowest TV where you're like, oh, it's getting

218
00:11:46,605 --> 00:11:51,005
Speaker 1: slightly bigger, it's getting slight and smaller. Ooh it's gone.

219
00:11:51,165 --> 00:11:54,885
Speaker 1: The moon is enthralling. I mean, really, drugs are no drugs,

220
00:11:55,125 --> 00:11:58,085
Speaker 1: y'all need to look at the moon tonight. Give her

221
00:11:58,125 --> 00:12:02,805
Speaker 1: her proper credit. So he went out on this lake

222
00:12:03,365 --> 00:12:07,525
Speaker 1: and was drunk and was, you know, looking at the water,

223
00:12:07,805 --> 00:12:10,645
Speaker 1: looking at the moon, and then he saw the way

224
00:12:10,685 --> 00:12:14,925
Speaker 1: the moonlight reflected onto the lake, and it is said

225
00:12:14,965 --> 00:12:19,165
Speaker 1: that he loved the moon so much and loved the

226
00:12:19,725 --> 00:12:22,405
Speaker 1: light that was coming from the moon so much he

227
00:12:22,605 --> 00:12:25,085
Speaker 1: wanted to be enveloped in it, wanted to touch it,

228
00:12:25,205 --> 00:12:29,925
Speaker 1: and so he grabbed he like plunged himself out of

229
00:12:29,965 --> 00:12:35,925
Speaker 1: his boat into the moonlight and drowned, or he was

230
00:12:35,965 --> 00:12:40,765
Speaker 1: absorbed by the moon. I want to believe that. I

231
00:12:40,805 --> 00:12:43,245
Speaker 1: want to believe that maybe he's on the moon right

232
00:12:43,285 --> 00:12:46,005
Speaker 1: now writing poem. Maybe he's the man in the moon.

233
00:12:47,605 --> 00:12:51,245
Speaker 1: Maybe all of the moon conspirators that think the moon

234
00:12:51,285 --> 00:12:53,885
Speaker 1: isn't real are going to be like, actually, what kind

235
00:12:53,925 --> 00:12:55,645
Speaker 1: of boat was he in? Was he just like in

236
00:12:55,685 --> 00:13:01,045
Speaker 1: a little rowboat ponto? Yeah, Like I mean, presumably he

237
00:13:01,125 --> 00:13:03,565
Speaker 1: was alone, so it had to have been like a

238
00:13:03,605 --> 00:13:09,125
Speaker 1: self rowing boat of some kind. Now, I bet his

239
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:11,365
Speaker 1: life was so good that he could, like the water

240
00:13:11,525 --> 00:13:13,485
Speaker 1: somehow would just like guide him out on his boat.

241
00:13:13,525 --> 00:13:15,765
Speaker 1: He just stepped on it and just like floated out

242
00:13:15,765 --> 00:13:18,605
Speaker 1: there in a perfect sort of way. Well, honestly, I

243
00:13:18,645 --> 00:13:24,445
Speaker 1: don't think that those those two scenarios are mutually exclusive, right,

244
00:13:24,605 --> 00:13:27,605
Speaker 1: because if he's having if he had had too many

245
00:13:27,645 --> 00:13:32,445
Speaker 1: life elixirs and had so much mercury. The mercury poisoning

246
00:13:33,085 --> 00:13:36,805
Speaker 1: could have then made him hallucinate a little bit and

247
00:13:36,965 --> 00:13:39,125
Speaker 1: see the moon and kind of like in the reflection,

248
00:13:39,165 --> 00:13:41,925
Speaker 1: it's like a different way seen that in a way

249
00:13:41,965 --> 00:13:45,445
Speaker 1: that would just you know, make him become more infatuated

250
00:13:45,485 --> 00:13:48,005
Speaker 1: with it, and then that's why he then dove in.

251
00:13:48,525 --> 00:13:52,405
Speaker 1: And then also with mercury poisoning, you kind of lose

252
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:58,805
Speaker 1: like sensations and stuff and muscle weaknesses. So muscle weakness, Well,

253
00:13:58,925 --> 00:14:01,325
Speaker 1: I did not know that. Yes, it could all it

254
00:14:01,325 --> 00:14:04,165
Speaker 1: could be connected. Who knows. Also, he was a poet,

255
00:14:04,245 --> 00:14:07,005
Speaker 1: you know, I can understand poet be like, ah, the

256
00:14:07,005 --> 00:14:10,325
Speaker 1: moon is so beautiful I will now be enveloped by

257
00:14:10,365 --> 00:14:13,325
Speaker 1: it and then die. Poets had been known to be

258
00:14:13,445 --> 00:14:16,285
Speaker 1: I mean, Gabby, you're a poet. You're a little dramatic.

259
00:14:16,565 --> 00:14:18,445
Speaker 1: I mean, I also feel like there's probably a lot

260
00:14:18,445 --> 00:14:21,605
Speaker 1: of pressure as a poet to die in a poetic fashion. Yes,

261
00:14:21,685 --> 00:14:25,045
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of gotta like overdosing drugs. That

262
00:14:25,085 --> 00:14:27,765
Speaker 1: seems to be like a lot of poets, and also

263
00:14:27,885 --> 00:14:30,365
Speaker 1: being absorbed by the moon. I'm sure there's multiple poets

264
00:14:30,365 --> 00:14:32,365
Speaker 1: who have been who have died that way. So I

265
00:14:32,365 --> 00:14:35,205
Speaker 1: think that's a good way to go. Ye. I feel

266
00:14:35,205 --> 00:14:37,165
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure to have a beautiful death, so

267
00:14:37,205 --> 00:14:40,125
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking it through though. Okay, good, Yeah, take

268
00:14:40,165 --> 00:14:42,645
Speaker 1: your time. Do you have a poem that you could

269
00:14:42,645 --> 00:14:46,525
Speaker 1: read to us, well, Taylor, considering you know this from

270
00:14:46,525 --> 00:14:49,565
Speaker 1: the outline I sent you, Yes, I do have a well.

271
00:14:49,605 --> 00:14:51,845
Speaker 1: He wrote a lot about the beauty of nature, about

272
00:14:51,845 --> 00:14:54,685
Speaker 1: the beauty of simplicity, all of that sort of just

273
00:14:54,725 --> 00:14:58,445
Speaker 1: like very simple life, Like he was a simple man,

274
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:01,165
Speaker 1: despite loving to party and loving to get drunk, he

275
00:15:01,485 --> 00:15:03,365
Speaker 1: loves a nature more than anything. And so that's what

276
00:15:03,445 --> 00:15:05,405
Speaker 1: a lot of his poems were about. And I'm going

277
00:15:05,605 --> 00:15:08,245
Speaker 1: read one that I just found super relatable. Are you

278
00:15:08,285 --> 00:15:11,965
Speaker 1: already It's called Waking from Drunkenness on a Spring Day? Oh,

279
00:15:12,045 --> 00:15:15,365
Speaker 1: I can already tell I'm going to relate. Right. It

280
00:15:15,365 --> 00:15:17,765
Speaker 1: goes like this, I feel like shit, God damn it,

281
00:15:17,885 --> 00:15:20,125
Speaker 1: why did I drink so much last night? I'm never

282
00:15:20,205 --> 00:15:23,245
Speaker 1: drinking again? Fuck, but I know I will, God damn it. Okay,

283
00:15:23,285 --> 00:15:26,605
Speaker 1: but anyways, honestly, I will say, like, I don't know,

284
00:15:26,645 --> 00:15:29,005
Speaker 1: this just gave me flashbacks to the last time that

285
00:15:29,045 --> 00:15:31,525
Speaker 1: I was very drunk. And do you guys ever get

286
00:15:31,525 --> 00:15:34,125
Speaker 1: like very drunk that you kind of look up at

287
00:15:34,205 --> 00:15:37,485
Speaker 1: God and you're like, God, please take this away from me,

288
00:15:37,565 --> 00:15:39,885
Speaker 1: Like I promise I won't drink again. Like that's kind

289
00:15:39,885 --> 00:15:41,445
Speaker 1: of how bad it wasn't That's how I feel like

290
00:15:41,485 --> 00:15:43,605
Speaker 1: he felt in this moment. So let me take you

291
00:15:43,645 --> 00:15:47,045
Speaker 1: back there, waking from drunkenness on a spring day by

292
00:15:47,125 --> 00:15:51,125
Speaker 1: lead by. Life in the world is but a big dream.

293
00:15:51,165 --> 00:15:53,525
Speaker 1: I will not spoil it by any labor or care,

294
00:15:54,125 --> 00:15:57,485
Speaker 1: so saying I was drunk all the day, lying helpless

295
00:15:57,525 --> 00:16:00,205
Speaker 1: at the porch in front of my door. When I awoke,

296
00:16:00,485 --> 00:16:03,045
Speaker 1: I blinked at the garden lawn, A lonely bird was

297
00:16:03,085 --> 00:16:06,245
Speaker 1: singing amid the flowers. I asked myself, had the day

298
00:16:06,365 --> 00:16:09,445
Speaker 1: been wet or fine? The spring wind was telling the

299
00:16:09,485 --> 00:16:13,165
Speaker 1: mango bird. Moved by its song, I soon began to sigh,

300
00:16:13,205 --> 00:16:15,565
Speaker 1: and as wine was there, I filled my own cup,

301
00:16:16,005 --> 00:16:18,725
Speaker 1: wildly singing. I waited for the moon to rise. When

302
00:16:18,765 --> 00:16:22,085
Speaker 1: my song was over, all my senses had gone Wow.

303
00:16:23,005 --> 00:16:29,725
Speaker 1: Snaps for him. All right, Well with that, we will

304
00:16:29,765 --> 00:16:35,805
Speaker 1: be right back. Welcome back. We're going to talk a

305
00:16:35,845 --> 00:16:39,085
Speaker 1: little bit about mercury poisoning and what exactly was in

306
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:44,685
Speaker 1: those life elixers that may have in fact ended Libi's life. Well,

307
00:16:44,765 --> 00:16:46,645
Speaker 1: thank you for coming to my channel in order for

308
00:16:46,685 --> 00:16:49,685
Speaker 1: you to make a Taoist life elixer. No, well, the

309
00:16:50,085 --> 00:16:53,325
Speaker 1: most common ingredients, at least the historians have found are

310
00:16:53,605 --> 00:16:57,165
Speaker 1: mercury or cinnabar, which is like a bright red mercury

311
00:16:57,205 --> 00:17:02,325
Speaker 1: mineral deposit, some honey, some sulfur, some copper, and hot water,

312
00:17:02,645 --> 00:17:05,405
Speaker 1: and that is what you would do to create Taoist

313
00:17:05,605 --> 00:17:08,085
Speaker 1: life elixers basically. So it sounds like they were like,

314
00:17:08,165 --> 00:17:09,965
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to the periodic table and see

315
00:17:09,965 --> 00:17:12,885
Speaker 1: what we can consume of this. Well, it seems so

316
00:17:13,165 --> 00:17:17,565
Speaker 1: life elixers originated supposedly in Mesopotamia. Is like the first

317
00:17:17,605 --> 00:17:20,525
Speaker 1: time that a life elixer is mentioned, And then I

318
00:17:20,605 --> 00:17:24,445
Speaker 1: know that in ancient China, the thought process was to

319
00:17:24,525 --> 00:17:30,325
Speaker 1: consume precious stones or metals because their longevity would translate

320
00:17:30,365 --> 00:17:33,565
Speaker 1: into our bodies for more longevity. So like that's where

321
00:17:33,565 --> 00:17:37,325
Speaker 1: they created drinkable gold. Or they would sometimes also swallow

322
00:17:37,645 --> 00:17:41,805
Speaker 1: jade cinnabar, which is that the mercury substance that I mentioned.

323
00:17:41,965 --> 00:17:45,325
Speaker 1: Others just like precious stones, and I mean I get it,

324
00:17:45,365 --> 00:17:48,485
Speaker 1: Like you know There wasn't a lot of information back then,

325
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:50,445
Speaker 1: so I can understand why you would think, Okay, well

326
00:17:50,485 --> 00:17:52,685
Speaker 1: if I need to consume this, then their properties are

327
00:17:52,685 --> 00:17:55,685
Speaker 1: going to come spread into my body. But a lot

328
00:17:55,725 --> 00:17:59,245
Speaker 1: of people dine like that. This um emperor, the twelfth

329
00:17:59,285 --> 00:18:02,485
Speaker 1: of the Ming dynasty called Judging died of mercury poisoning,

330
00:18:02,525 --> 00:18:06,125
Speaker 1: and he was I think the first recorded mercury repoisoning

331
00:18:06,125 --> 00:18:08,605
Speaker 1: because of the life elixirs death. So did it make

332
00:18:08,645 --> 00:18:11,885
Speaker 1: you feel drunk? Was it kind of like a was

333
00:18:11,925 --> 00:18:14,565
Speaker 1: it like that? Well? It was mostly it was just

334
00:18:14,645 --> 00:18:19,005
Speaker 1: so that way the stones properties would translate into our bodies. Basically,

335
00:18:19,285 --> 00:18:22,525
Speaker 1: some did have effects, like there was this mushroom that

336
00:18:22,605 --> 00:18:25,925
Speaker 1: ancient Chinese medicine would use that they still use now

337
00:18:26,285 --> 00:18:28,925
Speaker 1: that would cause those effects and was used for like

338
00:18:29,005 --> 00:18:32,645
Speaker 1: healing and stuff. No one, no one's tried it, so

339
00:18:32,685 --> 00:18:35,445
Speaker 1: I can't say it felt drunk or not. Yes, visit

340
00:18:35,485 --> 00:18:40,205
Speaker 1: cadavergals dot com slash Mercury Drink for your new favorite

341
00:18:40,205 --> 00:18:44,205
Speaker 1: weekend cocktail. Well, don't drink mercury because it's really bad

342
00:18:44,245 --> 00:18:48,485
Speaker 1: for you. I like I did, as we all probably

343
00:18:48,525 --> 00:18:51,525
Speaker 1: know hopefully, But you know, mercury actually exists in a

344
00:18:51,565 --> 00:18:55,485
Speaker 1: few things that like and medications and stuff which is

345
00:18:55,605 --> 00:18:58,965
Speaker 1: used to as like a diuretic or like it's essentially

346
00:18:59,085 --> 00:19:01,405
Speaker 1: used to like kill stuff in your body. So that

347
00:19:01,445 --> 00:19:04,605
Speaker 1: makes sense if you consume too much that it would

348
00:19:04,605 --> 00:19:08,325
Speaker 1: then kill you. Mercury really wasn't seen as super toxic

349
00:19:08,405 --> 00:19:10,925
Speaker 1: until recently, right, And I only asked that because my

350
00:19:11,005 --> 00:19:14,925
Speaker 1: mom in Colombia broke with thermometer ones and was found

351
00:19:14,965 --> 00:19:17,685
Speaker 1: playing with the mercury with her sister, and like her

352
00:19:17,765 --> 00:19:19,565
Speaker 1: dad didn't know any better, and then when her mom

353
00:19:19,605 --> 00:19:21,605
Speaker 1: found them was like get away from that, you know.

354
00:19:21,685 --> 00:19:25,485
Speaker 1: But even then, it's like it wasn't seen a's taught

355
00:19:25,565 --> 00:19:28,805
Speaker 1: like super toxica like a little bit more thank god,

356
00:19:30,405 --> 00:19:32,965
Speaker 1: mercury poisoning. So what it does is like you can

357
00:19:33,605 --> 00:19:37,565
Speaker 1: you can get mercury from like vapor by ingesting obviously

358
00:19:37,605 --> 00:19:40,725
Speaker 1: an injection, but it literally can be absorbed through your

359
00:19:40,725 --> 00:19:42,965
Speaker 1: skin as well, So that's kind of why it's it's

360
00:19:43,285 --> 00:19:46,925
Speaker 1: so dangerous. But what it does is it affects your neurologic,

361
00:19:47,205 --> 00:19:51,285
Speaker 1: gastro intestinal, and renal organ systems. So like kind of

362
00:19:51,325 --> 00:19:54,005
Speaker 1: what it does is it like it affects like your

363
00:19:54,045 --> 00:19:57,605
Speaker 1: motor skills, like, how like you kind of get muscle weakness.

364
00:19:57,805 --> 00:19:59,685
Speaker 1: It sounds like you wouldn't be able to take a dump.

365
00:19:59,885 --> 00:20:02,005
Speaker 1: It sounds like you would or does it make the

366
00:20:02,085 --> 00:20:05,165
Speaker 1: dump happen faster? Well, it's you, they do it. There

367
00:20:05,245 --> 00:20:08,125
Speaker 1: is little bit of mercury and like diuretics. Well that

368
00:20:08,125 --> 00:20:10,445
Speaker 1: would be a better option than from the last episode

369
00:20:10,445 --> 00:20:12,485
Speaker 1: when we talked about the guy who stuck the eel

370
00:20:12,565 --> 00:20:15,205
Speaker 1: up is. But I mean i'd probably reather have mercury

371
00:20:15,405 --> 00:20:19,205
Speaker 1: than eel. So interesting, Okay, I don't know. The guy

372
00:20:19,245 --> 00:20:21,725
Speaker 1: got out in seven days. Mercury could really miss you

373
00:20:21,805 --> 00:20:23,725
Speaker 1: up for life. So well, yeah, I read that one

374
00:20:23,805 --> 00:20:27,045
Speaker 1: long term effect of mercury was decreased intelligence, and I

375
00:20:27,085 --> 00:20:31,445
Speaker 1: was like, maybe I've been poisoned with mercury anyway, No, actually, Gabby,

376
00:20:31,525 --> 00:20:33,845
Speaker 1: it's really funny. One of like the early stages in

377
00:20:33,885 --> 00:20:38,085
Speaker 1: early Signs was like anxiety depression, and I'm like and

378
00:20:38,085 --> 00:20:39,685
Speaker 1: like all these things are just like, oh, shoot, do

379
00:20:39,805 --> 00:20:43,005
Speaker 1: I have mercury poisoning. That's the problem with our generation.

380
00:20:43,045 --> 00:20:47,245
Speaker 1: We've consumed too much mercury somehow. Yeah. So anyway back

381
00:20:47,285 --> 00:20:50,405
Speaker 1: to Lee by a little bit. The other thing that

382
00:20:50,605 --> 00:20:54,605
Speaker 1: mercury does is it causes like hallucinations and kind of

383
00:20:54,645 --> 00:20:58,765
Speaker 1: like hysteria, which if you've ever heard of Matt Hatter's disease,

384
00:20:59,765 --> 00:21:03,165
Speaker 1: that's basically mercury poisoning. So where that comes from is

385
00:21:03,205 --> 00:21:05,885
Speaker 1: there's way back when when all the fancy people were

386
00:21:05,925 --> 00:21:08,725
Speaker 1: wearing top hats and you know, all the fancy hats

387
00:21:08,725 --> 00:21:11,725
Speaker 1: and stuff, all the dandies. Oh yeahs like two thousand

388
00:21:11,765 --> 00:21:15,765
Speaker 1: and six, right, the hipsters, right, I'm there. They So

389
00:21:15,885 --> 00:21:18,525
Speaker 1: what they would do is, like the fanciest of fancy,

390
00:21:18,965 --> 00:21:21,925
Speaker 1: those hats were made out of like beaver skin or

391
00:21:21,965 --> 00:21:26,125
Speaker 1: beaver fur, and so in order to separate the fur

392
00:21:26,325 --> 00:21:30,365
Speaker 1: from the from the hide, they would use this mixture.

393
00:21:30,965 --> 00:21:33,685
Speaker 1: But basically it had mercury in it. So if you

394
00:21:33,765 --> 00:21:37,125
Speaker 1: worked at one of these hatteries or even in the

395
00:21:37,165 --> 00:21:40,205
Speaker 1: city nearby, you would all have they would all have

396
00:21:40,285 --> 00:21:42,645
Speaker 1: mercury poisoning, and they were all kind of crazy. And

397
00:21:42,685 --> 00:21:45,605
Speaker 1: so when they say you must be mad as a hatter,

398
00:21:46,285 --> 00:21:49,485
Speaker 1: it's because they would have mercury poisoning. That's probably why

399
00:21:49,685 --> 00:21:51,965
Speaker 1: all the guys in Bridget are acting like so dumb.

400
00:21:52,125 --> 00:21:56,165
Speaker 1: They just all had mad hatter disease. I mean yeah,

401
00:21:56,445 --> 00:21:59,765
Speaker 1: So basically it was very common to have mad Hatter's

402
00:21:59,805 --> 00:22:02,485
Speaker 1: disease or have mercury poisoning. So I feel like it

403
00:22:02,605 --> 00:22:08,005
Speaker 1: was very plausible that mister Leeby I was just hallucinating

404
00:22:08,085 --> 00:22:10,405
Speaker 1: and just fell in love with the moon and the reflection.

405
00:22:10,445 --> 00:22:13,485
Speaker 1: It was just infatuated with all of the colors and

406
00:22:13,605 --> 00:22:16,485
Speaker 1: lighting and reflection, and he was just like I'm gonna

407
00:22:16,525 --> 00:22:19,645
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it all in. Understandable. Also, I wonder if,

408
00:22:19,685 --> 00:22:24,245
Speaker 1: like the Mad Hatter, like was he serving alice mercury

409
00:22:24,325 --> 00:22:29,765
Speaker 1: te in that documentary story Alice in Wonderland, Right, Yeah,

410
00:22:29,765 --> 00:22:32,245
Speaker 1: because I mean they reference like weed and mushrooms and

411
00:22:32,285 --> 00:22:35,885
Speaker 1: stuff in Alice in Wonderland. But then also the mercury hallucin. Wow,

412
00:22:36,245 --> 00:22:40,125
Speaker 1: everything makes you hallucinate. Yep, there you go. This is

413
00:22:40,125 --> 00:22:42,485
Speaker 1: a hallucination right now, Yeah, right now, this isn't even

414
00:22:42,525 --> 00:22:45,045
Speaker 1: a real show. Now that we know we're all crazy

415
00:22:45,045 --> 00:22:49,005
Speaker 1: and this is a hallucination. I'd like to hear from you,

416
00:22:49,125 --> 00:22:53,565
Speaker 1: Gabby and how this poodle caused such a debacle. Yeah.

417
00:22:53,565 --> 00:22:55,005
Speaker 1: I feel like this story that I'm about to tell

418
00:22:55,205 --> 00:22:57,725
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a hallucination because it's so bizarre

419
00:22:58,285 --> 00:23:00,565
Speaker 1: and I've I think I came across as like six

420
00:23:00,605 --> 00:23:04,005
Speaker 1: months ago, and I every week I have I think

421
00:23:04,005 --> 00:23:06,645
Speaker 1: about it. So this is the story about a poodle,

422
00:23:07,005 --> 00:23:09,125
Speaker 1: and no, I do not know if it was a

423
00:23:09,165 --> 00:23:11,445
Speaker 1: standard poodle. I don't know if it was a miniature

424
00:23:11,485 --> 00:23:14,525
Speaker 1: poodle or a toy poodle, but it was a poodle.

425
00:23:15,045 --> 00:23:17,565
Speaker 1: Standard poodles are pretty big. I'm just gonna say that

426
00:23:18,005 --> 00:23:20,445
Speaker 1: that I mean, I don't know. I just yeah, they're continuing.

427
00:23:20,885 --> 00:23:22,565
Speaker 1: They can get up to seventy pounds. Oh my god.

428
00:23:22,605 --> 00:23:25,965
Speaker 1: Should I do some fun facts about poodles to expand

429
00:23:26,085 --> 00:23:28,965
Speaker 1: this story so we know some like useless information, Let's

430
00:23:29,005 --> 00:23:33,005
Speaker 1: do it. I love poodles personally. I think they're cute. Yeah.

431
00:23:33,085 --> 00:23:34,845
Speaker 1: I looked at a lot of pictures of poodles and

432
00:23:34,885 --> 00:23:37,605
Speaker 1: they there's so many different than the clippings that they

433
00:23:37,645 --> 00:23:40,445
Speaker 1: do are so ridiculous. But they actually have a reason

434
00:23:40,485 --> 00:23:43,325
Speaker 1: of why they cut the poodles hair like that. I mean,

435
00:23:43,405 --> 00:23:47,485
Speaker 1: not sillily as they do now in dog shows. But basically,

436
00:23:47,525 --> 00:23:50,925
Speaker 1: poodles come from Germany. They believe that the first poodles

437
00:23:50,965 --> 00:23:52,725
Speaker 1: were in Germany, even though Germany and France had this

438
00:23:52,805 --> 00:23:54,525
Speaker 1: kind of tete a tete where they're like, oh no,

439
00:23:54,725 --> 00:23:56,845
Speaker 1: we came up with the poodle, or they're like, oh, no,

440
00:23:56,885 --> 00:23:58,725
Speaker 1: we came up with the poodle, and the Germans were like, no,

441
00:23:58,805 --> 00:24:00,725
Speaker 1: we came up. I don't know Germans talking. I'm sorry.

442
00:24:00,885 --> 00:24:05,325
Speaker 1: But poodle actually is a German word or derivative from

443
00:24:05,365 --> 00:24:07,885
Speaker 1: a German word that means splashing in the water. So

444
00:24:08,005 --> 00:24:13,085
Speaker 1: poodles were originally hunters for duck hunting, which is really

445
00:24:13,085 --> 00:24:15,205
Speaker 1: funny to me to think that, like a fancy poodle

446
00:24:15,245 --> 00:24:18,525
Speaker 1: like going to go duck hunting. But they also have

447
00:24:18,725 --> 00:24:21,245
Speaker 1: soft mouth so after you would shoot the duck, they

448
00:24:21,285 --> 00:24:26,405
Speaker 1: could gently carry the dead ducks. So your soft mouth songs, yeah,

449
00:24:26,525 --> 00:24:30,525
Speaker 1: so sweet. But the reason that they actually started cutting

450
00:24:30,525 --> 00:24:33,525
Speaker 1: the poodles hair like that is because poodle hair doesn't

451
00:24:33,565 --> 00:24:36,445
Speaker 1: shed very much, so you have to constantly groom them

452
00:24:36,445 --> 00:24:38,125
Speaker 1: to make sure that they don't have too much hair,

453
00:24:38,245 --> 00:24:40,365
Speaker 1: and so when they would jump in the water sometimes

454
00:24:40,365 --> 00:24:42,845
Speaker 1: their fur would be too heavy. So they just started

455
00:24:42,885 --> 00:24:45,925
Speaker 1: clipping off the bottom parts of poodles so that they

456
00:24:45,925 --> 00:24:47,925
Speaker 1: would still have the warmth to protect their like main

457
00:24:48,165 --> 00:24:49,925
Speaker 1: organs in their face and all that. But then they

458
00:24:49,925 --> 00:24:52,805
Speaker 1: would shave off the legs, so they're just like wearing

459
00:24:52,805 --> 00:24:56,325
Speaker 1: a little shirt basically, that's amazing, that's cute. I love that.

460
00:24:56,405 --> 00:24:58,245
Speaker 1: It's actually kind of funny because it was the French

461
00:24:58,285 --> 00:25:00,965
Speaker 1: who then kind of they made them less hunting dogs

462
00:25:00,965 --> 00:25:03,125
Speaker 1: and more domesticated dogs that were just sort of inside

463
00:25:03,445 --> 00:25:07,765
Speaker 1: your house as a status symbol. And then after they

464
00:25:07,805 --> 00:25:09,685
Speaker 1: made poodles, they started making all of these shoot off

465
00:25:09,805 --> 00:25:12,005
Speaker 1: breeds that they could just have little fancy dogs. And

466
00:25:12,045 --> 00:25:16,445
Speaker 1: I know that Nika hates one particular. Don't poodle and

467
00:25:16,965 --> 00:25:24,845
Speaker 1: get me started. Don't even I'm starting understand, Taylor. Taylor. So,

468
00:25:25,525 --> 00:25:30,405
Speaker 1: labradoodles are a mix between poodles and labradors, and they

469
00:25:30,445 --> 00:25:34,565
Speaker 1: literally look like humans inside of a dog suit. Have

470
00:25:34,685 --> 00:25:37,285
Speaker 1: you ever seen their dead eyes? Have you ever seen

471
00:25:37,325 --> 00:25:39,925
Speaker 1: so big they are? They're so big for no reason.

472
00:25:39,965 --> 00:25:43,645
Speaker 1: They look like a muppet. I cannot. I cannot with them. Also,

473
00:25:43,845 --> 00:25:45,765
Speaker 1: and I will always quote this. I have said this

474
00:25:46,005 --> 00:25:47,885
Speaker 1: many a time. This is kind of my big my

475
00:25:48,365 --> 00:25:51,605
Speaker 1: party conversation, Trick, I just start bringing up laberdoodles. The

476
00:25:51,885 --> 00:25:54,725
Speaker 1: creator of labradoodles, the guy that literally mixed the genetics,

477
00:25:54,965 --> 00:25:58,485
Speaker 1: has been quoted in saying that he regrets his creation.

478
00:25:59,685 --> 00:26:02,285
Speaker 1: So I don't know what to tell y'all. I think

479
00:26:02,285 --> 00:26:04,725
Speaker 1: it's an abomination. That's what my mom says to about me.

480
00:26:04,965 --> 00:26:09,445
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I mean, you guys are both cat people.

481
00:26:09,565 --> 00:26:11,285
Speaker 1: So I just don't know it. I just don't know

482
00:26:11,325 --> 00:26:15,005
Speaker 1: what to do with that, because I think poodles, labordoodles,

483
00:26:15,045 --> 00:26:17,165
Speaker 1: all dogs are the most greatest thing to ever hit

484
00:26:17,165 --> 00:26:18,685
Speaker 1: the planet. So, Taylor, you're gonna tell me that if

485
00:26:18,725 --> 00:26:24,045
Speaker 1: a labordoodle was coming at you running down, you wouldn't

486
00:26:24,045 --> 00:26:26,845
Speaker 1: be scouting. No, No, I'd lay down. You're like, look

487
00:26:26,885 --> 00:26:31,605
Speaker 1: at this cube hyper allergenic dog. That's so nice. Okay, anyway,

488
00:26:31,765 --> 00:26:34,765
Speaker 1: continue Gabby, and if anyone wants to fight me, y'all

489
00:26:34,765 --> 00:26:38,285
Speaker 1: can fight me in the comments. Yeah. Also, yeah, I

490
00:26:38,285 --> 00:26:40,445
Speaker 1: think if this is for the people who have listened

491
00:26:40,445 --> 00:26:42,125
Speaker 1: to all of our episodes, this will be kind of

492
00:26:42,165 --> 00:26:45,365
Speaker 1: the insider the inside jokes of the podcast. It's always

493
00:26:45,405 --> 00:26:47,245
Speaker 1: going to go back to labordoodle. So, you know what,

494
00:26:47,285 --> 00:26:51,525
Speaker 1: you're an insider now we're talking about labordoodle. You're an insider,

495
00:26:51,565 --> 00:26:54,445
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. So this poodle in

496
00:26:54,565 --> 00:26:58,405
Speaker 1: question was named Kashi, and Kashi was the dog of

497
00:26:58,405 --> 00:27:03,685
Speaker 1: the Montoya family and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Okay, so this

498
00:27:03,725 --> 00:27:06,365
Speaker 1: family they lived on the thirteenth floor of their apartment building,

499
00:27:06,445 --> 00:27:11,045
Speaker 1: which already is that's harboding as hell, but that's actually

500
00:27:11,045 --> 00:27:12,885
Speaker 1: more of kind of just an American thing where we're

501
00:27:12,885 --> 00:27:16,085
Speaker 1: always like, oh, the thirteenth floor is scary. So and

502
00:27:16,165 --> 00:27:19,045
Speaker 1: that's also like the omni hotel business apparently standardized that

503
00:27:19,125 --> 00:27:21,445
Speaker 1: where most hotel it's like eighty five percent of hotels

504
00:27:21,605 --> 00:27:24,645
Speaker 1: don't have a thirteenth floor or something. Yeah, crazy town.

505
00:27:24,725 --> 00:27:27,125
Speaker 1: We're also suspicious here. And look what it's led to.

506
00:27:28,045 --> 00:27:31,245
Speaker 1: Suspicious or superstitious or both. We're just all of them.

507
00:27:31,245 --> 00:27:37,565
Speaker 1: We're our combination. We're stitious. We're stitious anyway. So they

508
00:27:37,605 --> 00:27:39,405
Speaker 1: were kind of living in the downtown of the city

509
00:27:39,405 --> 00:27:42,925
Speaker 1: and it's like busy trafficking streets, a lot of people

510
00:27:42,965 --> 00:27:45,965
Speaker 1: walking by on the sidewalks, and it was a beautiful

511
00:27:46,085 --> 00:27:50,525
Speaker 1: spring night on October twenty first, nineteen eighty eight, because

512
00:27:50,525 --> 00:27:54,005
Speaker 1: remember the seasons are reversed south of the equator, and

513
00:27:54,285 --> 00:27:57,645
Speaker 1: Kashi the poodle was out on the Montoya's family's thirteenth

514
00:27:57,685 --> 00:28:04,005
Speaker 1: floor balcony and then suddenly he fell off the balcony.

515
00:28:04,085 --> 00:28:06,565
Speaker 1: Whether he jumped he fell, we don't know. So he

516
00:28:06,645 --> 00:28:10,325
Speaker 1: fell down the thirteen floors and when he reached the bottom,

517
00:28:10,365 --> 00:28:12,645
Speaker 1: he fell on top of a seventy five year old

518
00:28:12,645 --> 00:28:15,925
Speaker 1: woman named Marta Espina, on her head and they both

519
00:28:16,045 --> 00:28:21,165
Speaker 1: died instantly. That's really intense. And then what happened is

520
00:28:21,365 --> 00:28:24,445
Speaker 1: a crowd began to gather around the scene. And then

521
00:28:24,445 --> 00:28:27,965
Speaker 1: there are so many people who were sort of spectating

522
00:28:28,005 --> 00:28:30,525
Speaker 1: this horrific thing that happened that the crowd started to

523
00:28:30,565 --> 00:28:33,365
Speaker 1: spill onto the street, and one of the bystanders was

524
00:28:33,405 --> 00:28:36,605
Speaker 1: this woman named Edith Sola. She was forty five years old.

525
00:28:36,765 --> 00:28:39,125
Speaker 1: She was on the edge of the crowd and suddenly

526
00:28:39,165 --> 00:28:41,925
Speaker 1: she stepped back. She was in the street and she

527
00:28:41,965 --> 00:28:44,965
Speaker 1: got hit by a bus and then she also died.

528
00:28:45,445 --> 00:28:49,805
Speaker 1: And then it keeps going, it keeps going. And then

529
00:28:49,845 --> 00:28:53,765
Speaker 1: there was a man down the street who had witnessed

530
00:28:53,805 --> 00:28:55,965
Speaker 1: all of these deaths, the poodle falling on top of

531
00:28:55,965 --> 00:28:57,965
Speaker 1: the woman and the other woman getting hit by a bus,

532
00:28:58,245 --> 00:29:01,765
Speaker 1: and he had a heart attack and he died on

533
00:29:01,845 --> 00:29:04,685
Speaker 1: his way to the hospital. Can you just like imagine

534
00:29:04,725 --> 00:29:09,205
Speaker 1: seeing this horrific like chain of events. This is like

535
00:29:09,685 --> 00:29:12,725
Speaker 1: two birds with one stone, except it's three people with

536
00:29:12,765 --> 00:29:15,725
Speaker 1: one poodle. Yep, that's the new expression. Three people, you know,

537
00:29:15,805 --> 00:29:20,285
Speaker 1: hidden one poodle, three people, so efficient, I'm so sorry.

538
00:29:20,285 --> 00:29:24,165
Speaker 1: That is really really bad. So this seemingly smallest. I mean,

539
00:29:24,205 --> 00:29:28,085
Speaker 1: this was an absolutely bonkers thing to happen, and there's

540
00:29:28,125 --> 00:29:30,245
Speaker 1: really just like, there's not much you can take away

541
00:29:30,365 --> 00:29:34,125
Speaker 1: except it's like a crazy accident that happened. But it

542
00:29:34,245 --> 00:29:37,325
Speaker 1: ended up being printed on the front cover of Argentinian

543
00:29:37,405 --> 00:29:39,845
Speaker 1: newspapers across the country, and then it got picked up

544
00:29:39,845 --> 00:29:42,205
Speaker 1: by Reuters and then was shared internationally, so a lot

545
00:29:42,245 --> 00:29:44,885
Speaker 1: of people saw this story. In one of the original

546
00:29:44,925 --> 00:29:48,485
Speaker 1: newspaper articles, a neighbor was quoted as saying, we are

547
00:29:48,525 --> 00:29:52,485
Speaker 1: all extremely sad. We cannot understand how this could have happened.

548
00:29:52,925 --> 00:29:56,965
Speaker 1: Just imagine how the Montoya family feels about it. And

549
00:29:57,045 --> 00:29:59,365
Speaker 1: the thing is we must imagine it, because I couldn't

550
00:29:59,365 --> 00:30:02,005
Speaker 1: find a comment made by the family, but I think

551
00:30:02,045 --> 00:30:04,965
Speaker 1: it's safe to say that they probably felt like shit, Yeah,

552
00:30:05,005 --> 00:30:10,525
Speaker 1: they lost their dog and then was the cart. Their

553
00:30:10,645 --> 00:30:15,725
Speaker 1: dog was the cause of three other deaths. That would

554
00:30:16,045 --> 00:30:17,605
Speaker 1: that's a lot to live with. That would be a

555
00:30:17,605 --> 00:30:21,485
Speaker 1: lot to have to live with. Yeah, And I mean,

556
00:30:21,565 --> 00:30:25,365
Speaker 1: so I was kind of wondering, like with dogs and balconies,

557
00:30:25,405 --> 00:30:27,285
Speaker 1: because I was thinking about my mom's dog, and my

558
00:30:27,365 --> 00:30:30,085
Speaker 1: mom's dog is kind of I always joked that he's

559
00:30:30,125 --> 00:30:32,805
Speaker 1: a little suicidal because whenever a car drives by when

560
00:30:32,805 --> 00:30:34,805
Speaker 1: he's on a walk, he like tries to run into

561
00:30:34,805 --> 00:30:38,045
Speaker 1: the car. And so I was he like attacking the wheels.

562
00:30:38,685 --> 00:30:41,245
Speaker 1: It might it might be that. I don't know. I

563
00:30:41,245 --> 00:30:43,925
Speaker 1: think he's also just kind of stupid. But so I

564
00:30:43,965 --> 00:30:45,485
Speaker 1: was trying to think about, like why would a dog

565
00:30:45,565 --> 00:30:47,445
Speaker 1: jump off a balcony, And so I was I went

566
00:30:47,485 --> 00:30:49,965
Speaker 1: down this sort of rabbit hole of the rabbit hole

567
00:30:50,005 --> 00:30:54,285
Speaker 1: to Alice in Wonderland because exactly, and I was just

568
00:30:54,405 --> 00:30:56,605
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, why did this dog jump

569
00:30:56,605 --> 00:30:59,765
Speaker 1: off the balcony? And I was like, do dogs commit suicide?

570
00:30:59,805 --> 00:31:01,885
Speaker 1: Was this a sad poodle? Because I was thinking about

571
00:31:01,885 --> 00:31:04,445
Speaker 1: that movie Best in Show as well, where there's like

572
00:31:04,445 --> 00:31:09,485
Speaker 1: the sad winmarn And But apparently dogs and animals can't

573
00:31:09,525 --> 00:31:13,165
Speaker 1: really commit suicide because they do not understand death. So

574
00:31:13,405 --> 00:31:16,005
Speaker 1: that makes but it's I don't know, there's like all

575
00:31:16,045 --> 00:31:19,325
Speaker 1: these there's all these like random bizarre incidences, like there

576
00:31:19,405 --> 00:31:22,325
Speaker 1: was in eighteen forty five, there is a story in

577
00:31:22,525 --> 00:31:27,165
Speaker 1: a London newspaper about this black dog that a lot

578
00:31:27,205 --> 00:31:30,125
Speaker 1: of bystanders saw intentionally, it looked like it was intentionally

579
00:31:30,165 --> 00:31:32,325
Speaker 1: trying to drown itself, like it kept putting its head

580
00:31:32,365 --> 00:31:36,885
Speaker 1: underwater and then eventually died. And then there's also this

581
00:31:36,965 --> 00:31:42,805
Speaker 1: bridge in Scotland, the Overton Bridge, where fifty dogs have

582
00:31:43,205 --> 00:31:46,845
Speaker 1: jumped over the edge of the bridge. Yeah, fifty dogs.

583
00:31:47,125 --> 00:31:49,845
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. They haven't really been able to explain why,

584
00:31:49,885 --> 00:31:53,485
Speaker 1: but they I mean, there's obviously the superstitious idea, but

585
00:31:53,525 --> 00:31:58,725
Speaker 1: then there's also some people think that there's like groups

586
00:31:58,765 --> 00:32:03,965
Speaker 1: of mink that live near the bridge, so just like rodents,

587
00:32:04,045 --> 00:32:06,885
Speaker 1: that maybe they're smelling. I was gonna say, there needs

588
00:32:06,885 --> 00:32:09,205
Speaker 1: to be something that is like pushing them to do that,

589
00:32:09,365 --> 00:32:12,445
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's you know, Oh's bridge. There's

590
00:32:12,485 --> 00:32:16,925
Speaker 1: probably some like smell or sound or like animal that

591
00:32:17,125 --> 00:32:20,845
Speaker 1: like has them doing doing all the same thing because

592
00:32:21,045 --> 00:32:24,125
Speaker 1: dogs are pretty much all the same. They all do

593
00:32:24,285 --> 00:32:26,645
Speaker 1: similar things. Wow, Taylor, that's really rude of you to

594
00:32:26,645 --> 00:32:29,285
Speaker 1: generalize about dom. They're all amazing. They all do the

595
00:32:29,325 --> 00:32:31,965
Speaker 1: same thing, which is jump over this one specific bridge,

596
00:32:32,165 --> 00:32:35,285
Speaker 1: which is which is be amazing. They do one thing

597
00:32:35,365 --> 00:32:38,845
Speaker 1: and that is that they're amazing. But it seemed like

598
00:32:38,885 --> 00:32:41,405
Speaker 1: for a while that people were trying to say that,

599
00:32:41,565 --> 00:32:45,805
Speaker 1: you know, animals can feel emotion, they can feel anxiety, depression, etc.

600
00:32:46,485 --> 00:32:49,085
Speaker 1: But because they cannot actually conceptualize death, you can't ever

601
00:32:49,125 --> 00:32:52,725
Speaker 1: say that they're actually intentionally community suicide. But sometimes they

602
00:32:52,725 --> 00:32:56,685
Speaker 1: do have self destructive behaviors. And so I was trying

603
00:32:56,725 --> 00:32:59,405
Speaker 1: to think about like this dog. What I was thinking

604
00:32:59,965 --> 00:33:03,525
Speaker 1: maybe what motivated this dog was apparently the Montoyas had

605
00:33:03,565 --> 00:33:08,565
Speaker 1: recently like red their balcony, and so maybe like either

606
00:33:08,605 --> 00:33:12,205
Speaker 1: the balcony was shittily made or like there was something different,

607
00:33:12,205 --> 00:33:14,205
Speaker 1: because the dog used to hang out on the balcony

608
00:33:14,205 --> 00:33:17,325
Speaker 1: all the time and then it just or maybe something

609
00:33:17,405 --> 00:33:20,005
Speaker 1: passed by, I don't know, but then it just jumped.

610
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:22,285
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes it can just be like a big

611
00:33:22,325 --> 00:33:25,205
Speaker 1: sound or something that scares them and makes them jump

612
00:33:25,205 --> 00:33:27,605
Speaker 1: and then they fall. I mean, I have a cat

613
00:33:27,645 --> 00:33:30,725
Speaker 1: and I love him, but he is not the most

614
00:33:30,725 --> 00:33:32,845
Speaker 1: graceful baby at times, and cats are supposed to be

615
00:33:32,845 --> 00:33:37,245
Speaker 1: super graceful, and sometimes he just misses. Maybe that's what

616
00:33:37,285 --> 00:33:41,085
Speaker 1: happened there. Yeah, there are those moments where dogs cats too,

617
00:33:41,205 --> 00:33:43,605
Speaker 1: they like they just get that moment where they're like

618
00:33:43,765 --> 00:33:47,925
Speaker 1: super super excited and they just like run around. People

619
00:33:47,925 --> 00:33:49,765
Speaker 1: call it the zoomies, which I kind of hate that

620
00:33:49,845 --> 00:33:52,565
Speaker 1: term the zoomies. I'll let y'all decide on that the

621
00:33:52,645 --> 00:33:55,885
Speaker 1: zoomies is what it's called. And but like, yeah, my

622
00:33:56,005 --> 00:33:57,565
Speaker 1: dog will do that where he just like runs around

623
00:33:57,565 --> 00:33:59,685
Speaker 1: and hill like ping palling off of stuff so like

624
00:33:59,965 --> 00:34:03,245
Speaker 1: and then just get clumsy and they don't realize there's

625
00:34:03,565 --> 00:34:05,885
Speaker 1: their size if it was like a bigger one or something,

626
00:34:05,925 --> 00:34:10,045
Speaker 1: and then could have accidentally fallen off or jumped off

627
00:34:10,205 --> 00:34:14,845
Speaker 1: or like misinterpreted how the balcony was or something. I

628
00:34:14,925 --> 00:34:18,365
Speaker 1: could I could see that happening, I guess, And though apparently,

629
00:34:18,445 --> 00:34:21,165
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely more likely for cats to fall

630
00:34:21,205 --> 00:34:23,725
Speaker 1: off of balconies, and that's happened so much. There's actually

631
00:34:23,725 --> 00:34:27,005
Speaker 1: a syndrome that's been created for it, called high rise syndrome.

632
00:34:27,765 --> 00:34:30,365
Speaker 1: But usually cats are more likely than dogs to survive

633
00:34:30,445 --> 00:34:32,605
Speaker 1: because they have kind of more fluidity in their bodies

634
00:34:32,605 --> 00:34:36,845
Speaker 1: and they can land easily. They land on their feet. Yeah,

635
00:34:36,885 --> 00:34:40,005
Speaker 1: you know, for my own, I don't know, weird interest,

636
00:34:40,085 --> 00:34:41,965
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out like, what, you know,

637
00:34:42,005 --> 00:34:44,605
Speaker 1: what kind of poodle Kashi was and seeing if because

638
00:34:44,645 --> 00:34:47,165
Speaker 1: it was thirteen stories up and that's about one hundred

639
00:34:47,165 --> 00:34:50,605
Speaker 1: and thirty feet two hundred and fifty feet, and it

640
00:34:50,685 --> 00:34:56,725
Speaker 1: was I actually found this. There's this organization called DROPS

641
00:34:57,125 --> 00:35:00,125
Speaker 1: which is basically like a global task force that's trying

642
00:35:00,245 --> 00:35:06,045
Speaker 1: to prevent things from being dropped mostly I construct and sights,

643
00:35:06,325 --> 00:35:09,325
Speaker 1: and they have this meter of you know, how likely

644
00:35:09,365 --> 00:35:11,645
Speaker 1: it is, like how likely a fatality is based on

645
00:35:11,685 --> 00:35:14,845
Speaker 1: the weight of something being dropped. But basically, no matter

646
00:35:14,925 --> 00:35:17,485
Speaker 1: the size of a poodle, a toy poodle, a miniature poodle,

647
00:35:17,565 --> 00:35:21,245
Speaker 1: or a standard poodle, basically anything above point one pounds

648
00:35:21,285 --> 00:35:24,445
Speaker 1: add one hundred and thirty feet will lead to fatality.

649
00:35:24,525 --> 00:35:27,165
Speaker 1: So I guess basically make sure you watch out for

650
00:35:27,325 --> 00:35:32,725
Speaker 1: things falling, especially poodles. All right, we will be right back.

651
00:35:36,805 --> 00:35:40,405
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Cadaver Girls. We just heard from Gabby

652
00:35:40,565 --> 00:35:44,405
Speaker 1: about how a poodle fell from the sky, which got

653
00:35:44,405 --> 00:35:47,325
Speaker 1: me kind of thinking about where about raining cats and

654
00:35:47,405 --> 00:35:50,525
Speaker 1: dogs and kind of where that came from. So basically

655
00:35:50,605 --> 00:35:52,845
Speaker 1: there are these two theories nobody really they don't really know,

656
00:35:52,885 --> 00:35:55,805
Speaker 1: but there are two reasons why they think this phrase

657
00:35:55,845 --> 00:36:00,845
Speaker 1: came about. One of which is where cats and dogs

658
00:36:00,965 --> 00:36:03,445
Speaker 1: used to they used to kind of like snuggle on

659
00:36:03,525 --> 00:36:06,165
Speaker 1: like the overhang of houses back and like the Victorian

660
00:36:06,245 --> 00:36:09,845
Speaker 1: times or whatever. And then when it would rain really hard,

661
00:36:09,885 --> 00:36:12,725
Speaker 1: they would obviously kind of get like washed down and

662
00:36:12,765 --> 00:36:15,165
Speaker 1: then they would fall. So obviously cats and dogs would

663
00:36:15,245 --> 00:36:17,965
Speaker 1: kind of like fall from off the roofs. So that's

664
00:36:18,045 --> 00:36:22,645
Speaker 1: one thing. And then the other reason basically they didn't

665
00:36:22,645 --> 00:36:25,965
Speaker 1: have great draining systems obviously back in the day, and

666
00:36:26,005 --> 00:36:28,125
Speaker 1: so the streets would get flooded when it would rain

667
00:36:28,165 --> 00:36:30,085
Speaker 1: a lot, and you know, there are a lot of

668
00:36:30,085 --> 00:36:32,605
Speaker 1: like stray cats and dogs or people. You know, they

669
00:36:32,605 --> 00:36:35,325
Speaker 1: weren't staying and snuggling inside like we thought, you know,

670
00:36:35,365 --> 00:36:39,085
Speaker 1: like we do now. So a lot of these dogs

671
00:36:39,085 --> 00:36:42,485
Speaker 1: and cats, it would kind of flood and they would drown.

672
00:36:42,725 --> 00:36:45,165
Speaker 1: And then the next day kind of when the water

673
00:36:45,165 --> 00:36:47,885
Speaker 1: would recede, there would be just like an influx of

674
00:36:48,045 --> 00:36:51,085
Speaker 1: cats and dogs, and so they would just you know,

675
00:36:51,125 --> 00:36:53,005
Speaker 1: it rained and then there were cats and dogs. So

676
00:36:53,565 --> 00:36:58,125
Speaker 1: there you go. So either way, the origin is very depressing,

677
00:36:58,365 --> 00:37:02,285
Speaker 1: very depressing comes from rain. Keep your dogs and cats

678
00:37:02,325 --> 00:37:05,405
Speaker 1: inside if and when possible, though I guess most like

679
00:37:05,725 --> 00:37:08,485
Speaker 1: your dogs won't be sleeping on the roof, right I was.

680
00:37:08,525 --> 00:37:11,685
Speaker 1: I think there's no way that my dog could be

681
00:37:11,725 --> 00:37:15,085
Speaker 1: on the roof like that, Guess says in the most

682
00:37:15,085 --> 00:37:17,965
Speaker 1: industrious dog there is, Guess could never. He just wants

683
00:37:18,005 --> 00:37:21,685
Speaker 1: to be snuggled and love. That's okay, I feel that, okay.

684
00:37:21,725 --> 00:37:24,485
Speaker 1: So basically there are other animals that do fall from

685
00:37:24,485 --> 00:37:28,725
Speaker 1: the sky, and most commonly are fish and frogs. But

686
00:37:28,805 --> 00:37:32,205
Speaker 1: this is because of like heavy winds or tornadoes. So

687
00:37:32,525 --> 00:37:37,045
Speaker 1: there's actually this phenomenon in Honduras that is called nika.

688
00:37:37,125 --> 00:37:38,965
Speaker 1: You'll have to say it for me because I can't

689
00:37:39,245 --> 00:37:44,725
Speaker 1: Julia bases, which means basically raining fish, right, yeah, fish rain,

690
00:37:44,845 --> 00:37:49,085
Speaker 1: raining fish. So apparently about every year in May or June,

691
00:37:49,485 --> 00:37:53,565
Speaker 1: there's like a massive amount of fish that are found everywhere,

692
00:37:53,725 --> 00:37:56,085
Speaker 1: and there are actually fish that are native to an

693
00:37:56,085 --> 00:37:58,485
Speaker 1: area that's about one hundred and twenty five miles away.

694
00:37:58,645 --> 00:38:02,245
Speaker 1: So really the likely scenario here that's going on are

695
00:38:02,445 --> 00:38:05,085
Speaker 1: water sprouts, which are just like little tornadoes over the

696
00:38:05,125 --> 00:38:08,085
Speaker 1: water which then carry fish and they carry them away.

697
00:38:08,365 --> 00:38:11,805
Speaker 1: And so this happens about once or sometimes twice a

698
00:38:11,885 --> 00:38:15,685
Speaker 1: year and this town of Yarrow, but fewer fatalities. I

699
00:38:15,685 --> 00:38:18,485
Speaker 1: imagine of a fish sort of like slapping in the

700
00:38:18,565 --> 00:38:20,605
Speaker 1: face maybe as supposed to falling on you from a

701
00:38:20,605 --> 00:38:24,245
Speaker 1: tall building. Right, So there's been there's no record that

702
00:38:24,285 --> 00:38:27,125
Speaker 1: I've seen of anybody dying from this besides the fish.

703
00:38:27,245 --> 00:38:30,005
Speaker 1: Well yes, but often there's the fish are still alive,

704
00:38:30,085 --> 00:38:34,245
Speaker 1: like flopping around. Can you imagine. And this has happened

705
00:38:34,285 --> 00:38:37,125
Speaker 1: in other areas too, It's not it's not very common.

706
00:38:37,525 --> 00:38:41,405
Speaker 1: But with those same water sprouts, they can also pick

707
00:38:41,485 --> 00:38:47,005
Speaker 1: up jellyfish and little alligators. Can y'all just imagine being like,

708
00:38:47,165 --> 00:38:50,965
Speaker 1: go in your merry way and then a jellyfish falls

709
00:38:51,005 --> 00:38:53,285
Speaker 1: from the sky and like hits you in the face

710
00:38:54,125 --> 00:39:00,725
Speaker 1: from the creators of sharknade j or a tiny little alligator,

711
00:39:00,805 --> 00:39:03,125
Speaker 1: that would be so scary. I don't know. I think

712
00:39:03,125 --> 00:39:05,805
Speaker 1: tiny alligators are kind of cute. Yeah. I feel like

713
00:39:05,885 --> 00:39:08,005
Speaker 1: jellyfish and I have a little bit of a spiritual

714
00:39:08,045 --> 00:39:11,285
Speaker 1: bond because one time recently I was in the ocean

715
00:39:11,405 --> 00:39:14,205
Speaker 1: and one was next to me and I said, excuse me,

716
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:16,445
Speaker 1: let me get out of your way, and I booked

717
00:39:16,485 --> 00:39:20,525
Speaker 1: it to the sand. So Ever since then, I don't know,

718
00:39:20,645 --> 00:39:23,485
Speaker 1: the thought of a jellyfish coming down from the sky

719
00:39:24,325 --> 00:39:28,845
Speaker 1: to slap me in the face is not as terrifying anymore. Okay,

720
00:39:29,045 --> 00:39:31,045
Speaker 1: but you got out of that jellyfish's way. So I

721
00:39:31,085 --> 00:39:32,965
Speaker 1: feel like you're even you know, I feel like the

722
00:39:33,485 --> 00:39:36,045
Speaker 1: jellyfish shouldn't be coming after you. You know what it

723
00:39:36,125 --> 00:39:38,685
Speaker 1: might do, It might fall. I've said this many times

724
00:39:38,685 --> 00:39:40,445
Speaker 1: on this podcast. I just want things to kiss me.

725
00:39:40,725 --> 00:39:42,965
Speaker 1: I want the jellyfish to fall from the sky and

726
00:39:43,005 --> 00:39:45,365
Speaker 1: give me a little kiss on the forehead. It'd be

727
00:39:45,405 --> 00:39:49,485
Speaker 1: like a little little stain. Yeah, okay, followed by yeah,

728
00:39:49,525 --> 00:39:51,925
Speaker 1: you'd get a little aggressive. I don't have to pee

729
00:39:51,965 --> 00:39:55,485
Speaker 1: on your forehead exactly, but yeah. So basically, tornadoes can

730
00:39:55,485 --> 00:39:58,205
Speaker 1: just like slurp up a whole pond and then everything

731
00:39:58,245 --> 00:40:00,765
Speaker 1: in there can be like taken away and moved, and

732
00:40:00,805 --> 00:40:03,485
Speaker 1: then the tornado's like okay, I'm done, and it just

733
00:40:03,565 --> 00:40:06,365
Speaker 1: drops everything right. Pretty sure, that's exactly how that goes.

734
00:40:06,805 --> 00:40:09,725
Speaker 1: That is exactly how tornadoes happen. So I really hope

735
00:40:09,765 --> 00:40:12,045
Speaker 1: there's not like in Honduras. There's not also like a

736
00:40:12,085 --> 00:40:16,085
Speaker 1: pond filled with poodles. That would be scary. They slurped

737
00:40:16,165 --> 00:40:17,725
Speaker 1: up all the poodles. The name for that would be

738
00:40:17,765 --> 00:40:20,725
Speaker 1: so cool, though, the poodle pond. I love alliteration. We're

739
00:40:20,765 --> 00:40:25,485
Speaker 1: going down to poodle pond. So there's this other there's

740
00:40:25,485 --> 00:40:31,085
Speaker 1: another weird incident of U showering of random things. In

741
00:40:31,125 --> 00:40:34,845
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy six, we're going back to Kentucky and there

742
00:40:34,845 --> 00:40:37,285
Speaker 1: were these just a bunch of hunks of meat that

743
00:40:37,325 --> 00:40:39,845
Speaker 1: were falling from the sky. They were like five by

744
00:40:39,925 --> 00:40:42,685
Speaker 1: five centimeters. Yep, there are these like chunks of meat.

745
00:40:42,885 --> 00:40:45,925
Speaker 1: A vegan's nightmare. And a couple of men were like like,

746
00:40:46,005 --> 00:40:48,365
Speaker 1: people were like, what is this? And these guys were like,

747
00:40:48,885 --> 00:40:51,525
Speaker 1: I know, we'll just try it and see what it

748
00:40:51,565 --> 00:40:55,125
Speaker 1: tastes like. So so I know what you're thinking. You're

749
00:40:55,165 --> 00:40:57,885
Speaker 1: probably like, oh, they probably died. I'm like, yeah, that

750
00:40:57,925 --> 00:40:59,965
Speaker 1: sounds like a good idea. I love eating meat from

751
00:40:59,965 --> 00:41:03,445
Speaker 1: the sky. Sky meat from the creators of Poodle Pond

752
00:41:03,565 --> 00:41:07,565
Speaker 1: comes sky meat, right, So they basically they would just

753
00:41:07,605 --> 00:41:10,125
Speaker 1: like they argued whether it was venison or mutton. They

754
00:41:10,125 --> 00:41:12,845
Speaker 1: were like, no, it's but which I think is just hysterically.

755
00:41:12,845 --> 00:41:15,845
Speaker 1: They did not die, well, they died eventually Satane's eventually,

756
00:41:15,845 --> 00:41:18,245
Speaker 1: But did they didn't die from food points, not from

757
00:41:18,325 --> 00:41:21,605
Speaker 1: mess No. No, they're still alive because they ate those cubes,

758
00:41:21,645 --> 00:41:25,445
Speaker 1: those magical cubes. That's the elixir of immortality. Actually, was

759
00:41:25,445 --> 00:41:29,125
Speaker 1: the meat the falls from the sky. Yeah, so they

760
00:41:29,165 --> 00:41:31,125
Speaker 1: still don't really know exactly what it was, but some

761
00:41:31,245 --> 00:41:34,925
Speaker 1: say it was cyanobacteria, which is which turned into yeah,

762
00:41:34,965 --> 00:41:37,805
Speaker 1: I don't anyway, So that was one. Others were convinced

763
00:41:37,805 --> 00:41:40,485
Speaker 1: that it was parts of an animal or like or

764
00:41:40,805 --> 00:41:44,325
Speaker 1: like animal lungs or even human. But the other theory,

765
00:41:44,885 --> 00:41:48,525
Speaker 1: which I found most interesting, and Nika, I've got some

766
00:41:48,565 --> 00:41:53,565
Speaker 1: alliteration for you, it was either vulture vomit or buzzard barf.

767
00:41:53,925 --> 00:41:57,845
Speaker 1: Because what they do is they're like they need to fly,

768
00:41:58,285 --> 00:42:01,125
Speaker 1: they need to like rid themselves of some of their

769
00:42:01,685 --> 00:42:04,165
Speaker 1: like make themselves a little bit lighter. So they then

770
00:42:04,325 --> 00:42:06,565
Speaker 1: throw up while they're there, while they're flying or they're

771
00:42:06,565 --> 00:42:09,405
Speaker 1: about to take off. So so that's something you can

772
00:42:09,405 --> 00:42:13,125
Speaker 1: be on the lookout for. Have you guys ever been

773
00:42:13,245 --> 00:42:17,365
Speaker 1: near a vulture, like seen a vulture in person? Not really,

774
00:42:17,405 --> 00:42:19,925
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, I hang out with them

775
00:42:20,085 --> 00:42:25,325
Speaker 1: flower like all my friends. I remember I went to

776
00:42:25,405 --> 00:42:28,365
Speaker 1: this bird show once when I was like a teenager.

777
00:42:28,445 --> 00:42:32,085
Speaker 1: We went to this random bird show in this nature

778
00:42:32,125 --> 00:42:36,605
Speaker 1: sanctuary somewhere in Georgia, Alabama. I do not know, Tennessee,

779
00:42:36,685 --> 00:42:39,525
Speaker 1: I do not know curse South place. Yeah, the South.

780
00:42:39,645 --> 00:42:43,445
Speaker 1: Just picture that. Me and my Colombian family just like

781
00:42:43,925 --> 00:42:46,245
Speaker 1: sitting in this bird show with a bunch of you

782
00:42:46,285 --> 00:42:50,805
Speaker 1: know whatever, and they had a vulture come out and

783
00:42:51,165 --> 00:42:54,045
Speaker 1: they paraded the vulture around and it like flew. It

784
00:42:54,085 --> 00:42:56,205
Speaker 1: was like injured. It was like a place for injured animals,

785
00:42:56,245 --> 00:42:59,725
Speaker 1: but it flew right on top of us. That thing

786
00:43:00,005 --> 00:43:07,205
Speaker 1: is massive and also terrifying, terrifying. It's like it's neck

787
00:43:07,365 --> 00:43:10,205
Speaker 1: and it's it's fur is just I mean no, it's fur,

788
00:43:10,245 --> 00:43:14,325
Speaker 1: it's little feathers. It's just so gross. And I am

789
00:43:14,365 --> 00:43:18,965
Speaker 1: not a fan. I just they're so big and they're

790
00:43:19,045 --> 00:43:22,125
Speaker 1: much and the way they walk is basically jumping, and

791
00:43:22,165 --> 00:43:24,485
Speaker 1: the sound they make with their talents when they jump

792
00:43:24,765 --> 00:43:30,525
Speaker 1: is terrifying really so, so they're your favorite animal. Yes,

793
00:43:30,885 --> 00:43:34,605
Speaker 1: Snature's so scary and I love them. That's like what

794
00:43:34,685 --> 00:43:37,525
Speaker 1: people say about my internet content, which she liked better,

795
00:43:37,605 --> 00:43:42,805
Speaker 1: labradoodles or vultures. Oh, I would take a vulture over

796
00:43:42,805 --> 00:43:46,685
Speaker 1: a labordoodle. I'm not kidding. I Also, Taylor, I do

797
00:43:46,725 --> 00:43:49,805
Speaker 1: want to commend your use of alliteration with the vulture, vomit,

798
00:43:49,885 --> 00:43:53,645
Speaker 1: and buzzard barf if leeby was still here today. That

799
00:43:53,765 --> 00:43:56,685
Speaker 1: would be a beautiful literation for one of his Taylor,

800
00:43:56,725 --> 00:43:58,965
Speaker 1: can you improve us a poem to send us off

801
00:43:59,445 --> 00:44:02,805
Speaker 1: about vulture vomit? I really can't. I'll try. I'll try.

802
00:44:03,445 --> 00:44:11,525
Speaker 1: I'll try. Vulture vomit. Cannot stop it. Put it in

803
00:44:11,645 --> 00:44:17,365
Speaker 1: your mouth, buzzard barth owl. It fell on me. Oh

804
00:44:17,405 --> 00:44:22,445
Speaker 1: it fell on me. Yeah, sorry, I have to go back.

805
00:44:22,485 --> 00:44:26,125
Speaker 1: Can you imagine, though, if it was vulture vomit, then

806
00:44:26,165 --> 00:44:29,925
Speaker 1: these guys were like eating vulture vomit, which is essentially

807
00:44:30,005 --> 00:44:32,365
Speaker 1: they're eating raw meat that had already been ingested by

808
00:44:32,365 --> 00:44:35,165
Speaker 1: a vulture and then spit back out. That is disgusting.

809
00:44:35,685 --> 00:44:40,605
Speaker 1: Maybe it was safer because I yeah, maybe it's like

810
00:44:40,645 --> 00:44:44,005
Speaker 1: a delicacy. It's like this is some venison from inside.

811
00:44:44,085 --> 00:44:48,245
Speaker 1: They did say that it was U m oh, that

812
00:44:48,325 --> 00:44:53,685
Speaker 1: wasn't vulture vomit. Put it in your pocket venison fresh,

813
00:44:54,245 --> 00:44:57,205
Speaker 1: Oh so yummy. I was just going to suggest that

814
00:44:57,245 --> 00:44:59,565
Speaker 1: we all keep our day jobs. I would like to
