My sister, Meredith, 56 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: was walking across the parking lot of her high school, 57 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: careful not to mess up the anatomy diorama. She pulled 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: an all nighter to finish. Yeah, we already liked Meredith. 59 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: Meredith was carefully carrying a bone diorama for her anatomy 60 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: class across the high school parking lot at Auburn High 61 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: in Alabama. She legitimately pulled an all nighter to finish 62 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: this Crayola foam masterpiece with little toothpick label flags. I 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: mean Meredith's going full full diorama. She was so focused 64 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: on carefully crossing the parking lot that she didn't hear 65 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: too of her friends screaming to get out of the 66 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: way as an SUV slammed into her at full speed. 67 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: Oh no, oh no, My sister rolled up onto the 68 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: hood of the car, her diorama flying through the air. 69 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: Her friends rushed over to see if she was okay, 70 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: and she was coming to All she could ask is 71 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: was her diorama? Okay, it was not. Here's when it 72 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: goes just full movie. Two identical twins hop out and 73 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: stand up. 74 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: Oh man, circus is intent? 75 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: There we go.

The guy who hit 78 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: her was this douchey football player. I guess the twin 79 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: who wasn't driving was a super nice guy. So there's 80 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: one good twin, there's one evil twin. That's probably always 81 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: so ask yeah, that's probably always how it goes down. 82 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: So the guy that was not driving super nice just whispered, I'm. 83 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 4: Sorry, Oh what is this the weirdest story?

So she goes to the hospital 85 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 4: as high schoolers are wont to do, which makes me 86 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: think that Julia is a murderino because Karen will sometimes 87 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 4: say want to do students spread rumors over text all day. 88 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 4: As my sister recovers in the er, these texts turn 89 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 4: into her minor bruises and fractures into a much more 90 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 4: severe injury. 91 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: So word of map basically we're playing telephone. One student 92 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: texted her to ask if Meredith had broken her leg. 93 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: Her friend went to reply that her leg was fine, 94 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: but autocorrect changed it from fine to gone. Her leg 95 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: is gone. Her leg is gone. 96 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: Oh wow, this is really escalated. 97 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: Yes, it's going crazy. So the rest of the day, 98 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: the entire high school was mourning Meredith, whose leg was 99 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: now gone. Not only did people think her leg was gone, 100 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: half the school just thought she was death. One of 101 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: her friends burst into tears in the first period and 102 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: could barely get through the day.

I think he 115 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 3: had doubt and didn't take care of it or something 116 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: and went into the hospital. 117 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: And I won't and. 118 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 3: You kind of know from the beginning, but he on 119 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: his Facebook page for some reason, like there was just 120 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: like an update about like how he was doing, and 121 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: then underneath that someone was just like rip, like they 122 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: thought he had died. And then the entire like Chicago 123 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: comedy community started eulogizing him on this Facebook. Oh no, 124 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: And then his parents kept coming going, He's not dead, 125 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 3: stop doing this. This is sick, you know, But no 126 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: one was reading the comments before. They were just seeing 127 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 3: the first one rip and would like write their whole 128 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: long eulogy. 129 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: It is an amazing episode. 130 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 3: And then they interview the guy about essentially having seen 131 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: his funeral, yeah, without having died, because he wasn't a cooma. 132 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: So we came out of the coma and he's like, 133 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: everyone thought I was dead, and look at all these 134 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: nice things everybody said about me. Yeah, it was pretty cool. 135 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: This is probably more of like a dollopy type of 136 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: story or whatever, But I know that wasn't that the 137 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: case with the guy Nobel that the Nobel Peace Prize 138 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: is named after Oh really, Yeah, he created nitroglycerin I think, 139 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: and then it turned into dynamite and then the Nazis 140 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: used it, and so there was a false report. And 141 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: this is this is me thinking back fifteen years. So 142 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: I might be getting this totally wrong, but honestly, who 143 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: gives a shit. Ye maybe we are. 144 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: Not fact checkers. If you're coming here for your history lesson, 145 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: you're in the wrong place. 146 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: Oh that is right, but I'm pretty sure they there 147 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: was a misprint obituary for Nobel that said, like merchant 148 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: of Death dies at seventy six, and he read it. 149 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: He was still alive, and he realized that his legacy 150 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: was a legacy of death and destruction. So he gave 151 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: a ton of his money towards the Peace Prize and 152 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: to like innovations and science and peace. I'm pretty sure 153 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: that is true. And oh yeah, it's a great explanation. 154 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: Okay, great, Yeah, I mean I do know that he 155 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 3: was like it was driven by guilt because he had 156 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: created this nitroglycerin. 157 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: And then yeah, that's. 158 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: Crazy, right I have Yeah, so I have two stories.
