Hope you enjoy it. 7 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you Should Know from house Stuff Works 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark, 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: with me as always Charles W Chuck Bryant, and I'm 10 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: still sick. I'm sorry about that. Like this is this 11 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: is actually me with my nose blowed. I think at 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: this point we could recommend to listeners who typically listen 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: with earbuds or headphones, maybe get this woner, try just 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: in your car speakers. That's probably a good idea. Yeah, 15 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: Jerry was like, dude, have you heard this you headphones? 16 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: Did you listen to it? No? Not yet, But we 17 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: don't wear headphones here, which is odd for audio recording. Yeah, 18 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people like hearing headphones right in there here. 19 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: I don't like that. I don't either. We're told we're 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: the only ones here, who don't do that? Hey, we're tazed. 21 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: Maybe that's a secret. Yeah, um, chuckers, Yes, have you 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: ever been kidnapped? Uh? Not in a in the strictest 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: of senses. I have been kidnapped in the fun church 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: youth group. Way, oh for like diabetes or something like 25 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: when someone comes back and kidnaps you for a cause, 26 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, which is an odd thing to do. 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: I always felt kind of left out because no one 28 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: ever kidnapped me for any cause. Oh yeah, yeah, Well 29 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: maybe I'll do that one day, just get the crap 30 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: out of you. Break in your house with ski mask 31 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: on duct tape. Um, I probably recognize you by your clothes. 32 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: You can wear a ski mask and be like, what 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: do I know that kidnapper? I know that beef stew smell. Anyway, Um, 34 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: it's a good thing that you were kidnapped just for 35 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: a cause, because there's a very low likelihood that you 36 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: would have suffered from what's known as Stockholm syndrome from 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: being held uh basically ransom until you raised X number 38 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: of dollars for Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Um. There are a 39 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: lot of cases, a surprising amount of cases, even in 40 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: the statistics that are used to poo poo the concept 41 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: of Stockholm syndrome or its prevalence. It's still a surprising 42 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: amount of cases of people who are abducted. Um, people 43 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: who are held in like slave as slaves or hostages. Yeah, 44 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: it's not like a ransom deal. It's just I'm gonna 45 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: take you now and put you in my seller for 46 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: fifteen years. That's that. Depending it depends on how you 47 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: look at it. But yeah, and it depends on the 48 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: factors involved. But there there is a weird phenomenon that 49 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: we do not yet have fully pinned down yet. Even 50 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: that toy dinosaur can tell you what it is. And 51 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: it's called Stockholm syndrome. That's right. Uh, And it's got 52 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: a pretty it's it's it's a crazy thing because it's 53 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: a psychological disorder that almost no one ever will endure. Um, 54 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: the press loves it, so they talk about it all 55 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: the time, and it has an awesome backstory, so basically 56 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: has everything there for everyone to just overestimate the prevalence 57 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I think the press loves it because 58 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: it's a has the like the name, and like you said, 59 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: the cool backstory. But I don't agree. But to the press, 60 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: I think they think it's just like, how can anyone 61 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: ever feel for their captor? It's so remarkable that this happens. 62 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: But when I read this article, I'm kind of like 63 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: I get it a little bit in some cases, and 64 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: and like, especially in this day and age, after so 65 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: many incidents of it being reported and covered in like 66 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: US and people and time and whatever, um, it's it 67 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: almost comes off as disingenuous. Where the press is the 68 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: tabloid press particular, is like, how could how could this person? Yeah, 69 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, identificitely sensational and not like empathetic, it seems like. 70 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: But that's the point though. I mean, I guess we 71 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: should probably define what Stockholm syndrome is for that one 72 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,119 Speaker 1: person who doesn't know. Yeah, it's well, when you're held 73 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: captive for some period of time and you end up um, 74 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: and it's actually not always being held captive because they 75 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: said in battered spouse cases or slave master relationship, um, 76 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: you end up feeling empathy and identifying somewhat with your captor. Yeah, 77 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: it's destructive culture. Another one. Uh, And I would advise 78 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: everybody to go listen to the Brainwashing episode and if 79 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: you've already heard it a lot of this stuff is 80 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: gonna sound kind of familiar because the two share a 81 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: lot of common traits. UM, there are some some specific 82 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: traits to Stockholm syndrome, some factors that that psychology generally 83 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: agrees have to be present for somebody to develop Stockholm syndrome. UM. 84 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: But let's talk about where this came from. You wanted 85 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: to sure the first the seventy three. I wonder what 86 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: they called it before this. UM. I saw two other 87 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: names for it, but I don't know if they predated 88 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: Stockholm syndrome. Terror bonding and trauma bonding. Terror binding tuating 89 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: new kind of phrase. It seems like a traumatic bonding 90 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: was the other one. That's the no frills, like, we're 91 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: not sensationalizing here. This is the real deal. Well, it 92 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: came from a bank robbery in nineteen seventy three in Stockholm, Sweden. 93 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: And this article actually has it wrong. It's his two 94 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 1: men entered the bank. There's actually just one dude, Wilson 95 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: entered the bank. Uh, cops showed up for this bank robbery. 96 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: Shootout happens in there, some cops. He takes some hostages, 97 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: and then he demands that his buddy Olafson, who I 98 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: think just got out of jail. No, he was in jail. 99 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: I thought he was in jail, and they freed him 100 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: and sent him to this bank, and I guess was like, 101 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: thanks buddy, here's a gun. Yeah, a hostage standoff. And 102 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: he was kind of a career criminal, so I doubt 103 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: if he was like, well, great, now I'm out of 104 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: I was two months from being let out. Right now 105 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: here I am holding people hostage. Um, he sort of 106 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: looked the second guy I thought looked a little bit 107 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: like koresh Oh really yeah, a little bit, which one 108 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Olsen or ericson because okay, oh yeah yeah Olsen, Yeah, 109 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: Olsen looks kind of like Charlie Manson a little bit. 110 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: Then again nineteen seventy three, everybody looked like Charlie. So 111 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: what happens in this case is, um, it's a it's 112 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: a standoff. There's a hostage situation. And reportedly the hostages 113 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: ended up showing uh love for the captors and we're 114 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: sort of against the cops. And one reason I saw 115 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: a side it was because they felt like the cops 116 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: were put them in more dranger like with their violent 117 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: tactics that they thought were coming down upon them. Yeah, 118 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: so that's what happened. They said, Stockholm syndrome. I wrode 119 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: this rite up by the guy. Um, a psychologist named 120 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: Nils Bergerat. He was actually the one of the hostage negotiators, 121 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: the a liaison for the police to these hostage takers. 122 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: That credit Bonkin. Is that how you say it? But 123 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: the bank? Yeah, credit Bonkin? Yeah. Um, So he was 124 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: there and they actually he's usually credited with coining the 125 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,559 Speaker 1: term Stockholm syndrome. Um. But he was saying, like, after 126 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: talking with these guys that they weren't insane, they weren't 127 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: on drugs. They were like, like you said, career criminals, 128 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: and every move they made was to like benefit themselves 129 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: or their situation. It was beneath them to hurt these people, 130 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: to hurt their hostages. But they loved shooting at cops 131 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: because they hated cops, and they were not above threatening 132 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: these hostages lives to the point where the hostages were 133 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: taking it seriously. But yes, um, it seemed like the 134 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: police were putting them in danger with these raids. Yeah. 135 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: What surprised me was how quickly like the only reason 136 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: Stockholm syndrome makes sense to me is that when it 137 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: takes place over like years, Like this was a little 138 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: weird to me. Okay, here's the thing. There's a great 139 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: debate over whether and by great debate, the people disagree 140 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: over whether Stockholm syndrome develops over a short intense period 141 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: or a long protracted period. So like in the case 142 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: of say Um Natasha Kemp, push, yeah, let's tell her story. 143 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: I guess real quick. Okay. She was an Austrian girl 144 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: who disappeared in the way to school and she was 145 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: kept in a fifty four square foot seller with sound 146 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: proof with no windows by Wolfgang uh prick Lapel and 147 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: told her the doors and windows were booby trapped. You 148 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: can't escape, um, and they like, how many years was this? 149 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: She was held for for eight years? Eight years? Sorry, 150 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: and they were you know, they ended up. You know, 151 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: she went on a ski vacation with them. Um. Eventually 152 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: was like let out of the basement during the day, 153 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: had to go back at night always, and like would 154 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: go to restaurants occasionally. Uh. And she eventually escaped when 155 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: um she was vacuum ng and uh he took a 156 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: phone call when in the other room and she left 157 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: the vacuum running and bolted, which was pretty smart. And 158 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: when he found out. She eventually made it to a 159 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: neighbor's house and I went inside, and this old lady 160 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: called the cops and she's like, I'm this girl that's 161 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: been missing all these years. And eventually, Um, he jumped 162 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: in front of a train when he found out she 163 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: got out, killed himself. And apparently she cried and like 164 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: lit candles at the morgue where he was kept, and 165 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: also denied that she suffered from Stockholm syndrome. Okay, so 166 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: I can't give you another one. J. C. Lee Duggard. 167 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: Um remember that much more recent, much more familiar, I'm 168 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: sure to those of us in the US, especially those 169 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: of us who pay attention to us weekly. Um. But 170 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: she was held for eighteen years. She her captor, She 171 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: assisted her captor with his home business. Captors captors um 172 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: with their home business, emailed customers, took phone calls from customers, 173 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: greeted customers at the door by herself. Um. Basically it 174 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: was a lot like Natasha's story, where like she was 175 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: like living out in plain sight with these people and 176 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: like had all these opportunities to like make a make 177 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: a run for it, and like never did. Um. And 178 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: he was a kidnapper. He was already serve time for kidnapping. Yeah, 179 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: I believe so. Um when she was finally freed, she 180 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: um her I guess her stepfather was explaining it to 181 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: the press that she really had strong feelings for this guy, 182 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: and like she thought of this as like a marriage basically, 183 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, she was held captive for eighteen years, right. 184 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: So on the one side, those are two really good 185 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: examples of Stockholm syndrome to like coming to see your 186 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: captor as your husband, or to cry and like, you know, 187 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: light candles at morgue for your captor after he kills himself. 188 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: But then on the other side, there's like the remember 189 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: the t w A hijackers. Um, somebody who was freed 190 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: after that relatively short stand off um said that these were, um, 191 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: they weren't bad people. Quote, the terrorists weren't bad people. 192 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: They let me eat, they let me sleep, they gave 193 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: me my life. And that was a really short, brief, 194 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: intense encounter. And those are like kind of the different 195 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: sides of the whole thing. So like, which one if 196 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: you become a member of your captor's family, is that 197 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: Stockholm syndrome or is a slightly differ for netable, if 198 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: you come to see your captors your savior simply because 199 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: they're letting you live over like the course of like 200 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: twenty four hours while they're holding you. Or is that 201 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: Stockholm syndrome? Which ones which because we have slightly different 202 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: things going on and they're both really abnormal psychologically speaking. Agreed, 203 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: and I think it was the girl in Austria said that, like, 204 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: on the plus side, I didn't drink or do drugs 205 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: or smoke, and I didn't hang out with like bad kids. 206 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: Sounds a seller, so I mean, obviously we're not laughing 207 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: at her, but it was definitely a unique take on 208 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: being held captive. And one of the things too, like, uh, 209 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: I guess we'll eventually get to um Patty Hirst. But 210 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: in the case of these girls, they were like, you know, 211 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: the one was ten years old when she was originally kidnapped, 212 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: So I mean, when you're ten, I think you would 213 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: be much more acceptible to something like this over the 214 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: course of like your entire adolescence growing up, is your 215 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: teenage years like this your you know, it makes sense 216 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: to me a little bit that you accept it and 217 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: see these people as your protectors anyway, But that's the 218 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: common thread. Whether it's a short, brief, intense period or 219 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: eighteen years of captivity, the common thread is that Stockholm 220 00:13:22,960 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: syndrome developing. It is seen as a survival strategy. So 221 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: let's let's talk about the factors involved. Shall we we 222 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: shall what traits must be? The three traits are a 223 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: severely uneven power relationship, which makes sense. The captor is 224 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: completely in charge of every facet of your life. When 225 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: you eat, when you sleep, how you sleep, where you sleep, 226 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: what you eat, what you drink, if you can shower 227 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: or not, like everything, if you can talk, what whether 228 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: or not you're like chained to a bed um threat 229 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: or threat of death or physical injury um, and a 230 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: lot of times that includes like you know, rape and 231 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: assault and severe beatings. There's another one like I'll talk 232 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: about that in the second, but there's there's a disagreement 233 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: about whether that's can be president or not really. And 234 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: then finally, self preservation instinct, which is what we were 235 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: talking about. They believe, like the only way my butts 236 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: gonna get out of here is if I obey, Yeah, obey, 237 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: And it's called a healthy ego as this is a 238 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: self preservation instinct. Like your ego starts to take over 239 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: and says, okay, um, we need to figure out how 240 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: to stay alive here. Its solution on the skin right exactly? 241 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,479 Speaker 1: Or else what? Or else it's the hose again. Uh. 242 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: And so that ego takes over because all other normal 243 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: tactics available to any free human being to stay alive, 244 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: grabbing a gun, calling the police, shouting, um, whatever are 245 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: stripped from that person. Well. Sure, And in the case 246 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: of the Austrian girl, she was told things were booby trapped, 247 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: like windows and doors, and that he said he had 248 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: a gun on him at all times. And when your 249 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: tin and you grow up like this, like how are 250 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: you going to figure this out? You know you're not 251 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: watching TV, you're obviously not on the internet, Like for 252 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: all she knew things were booby trapped and she's trying 253 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: to live. Um. There's two other factors that usually have 254 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: to be present too, is the prisoner has to believe 255 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: that escape is impossible, like you were saying booby traps 256 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: or whatever, um that there there's just no escape, there's 257 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: no there's no um other thing to focus the mind on, 258 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: like how how can I dig my way out of here? 259 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: It's totally focused on the captor being the means of 260 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: escape or survival um. And then the the prisoner also 261 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: has to be isolated. So this one kind of like 262 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: undermines the idea of somebody who's held captive in plain 263 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: sight for eighteen years developing classic Stockholm syndrome because if 264 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: you if you were totally isolated from the outside world, 265 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: other opinions of the captor are sequestered from you. Yeah, 266 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: so that Lieutenant Denzel Washington out there an inside man, 267 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: and what he thinks of Clive Owens is not coming through. 268 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: All you have is your your increasingly deranged mind um 269 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: to tell you what you think about Clive Owens. You know. 270 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna add my own here too. I think that 271 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: part of it has to do with just humans desire 272 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: to connect with another human. And if all you've got 273 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: is this one person and it's over the course of 274 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: eight to eighteen years, that's gonna take over at some 275 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: point and you're gonna want to connect with this person, 276 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: you know. I think you may have just hit upon 277 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: the distinction between the two, the short intense period and 278 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: the long duration. Yeah, because think about it like you do. 279 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: If you are just kept apart from everybody else, you 280 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: do still have that need to connect with pure That's brilliant, Chuck, 281 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: that may be the most brilliant thing you said yet 282 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: my dinosaurs clapping. Yeah, it's better than the caveman Milton 283 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: in Neanderthals a good theory. Um, okay, so we we 284 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: know all of this stuff that has to be present. Right. Basically, 285 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: you're a hostage that is totally subject to the whims 286 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: of your captor. You think you're going to die, Um, 287 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: you don't think there's any escape. You're sequestered away from 288 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: other people. Um, and your captor likes to remind you 289 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: that he or she is in charge. Yes, okay, let's 290 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: talk about the stages. Well, that is the first stage 291 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 1: and I just went over it. Um. Also threatening the family, 292 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: like hey, you love your little brother and your mom 293 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: and your dad, while I can kill them very easily, 294 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: like if you try to escape, and if you're talking 295 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: to a little ten year old girl, that's gonna you know, 296 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: do some serious damage. It has more effect than saying 297 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: like a forty year old single guy, yeah I think so, yeah, 298 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: or a married guy well no, I don't know. You 299 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: can still threaten a married guy's family, a family man's family. 300 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: It's just yeah. But I think they would react like, 301 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, like Harrison Fordwood on Air Force One. Yeah, 302 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: not cowering. They would be like, oh, yeah, what was 303 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: the famous line you shouldn't test me? You know, was 304 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: get off my plane. Yeah, that's what it was, you 305 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't test me. That's pretty good though. I think that 306 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: was in the initial script. Um. Well, of course my 307 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: line got revised. Very funny. Um. So time goes on 308 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: U and then what happens is the captor gets stressed 309 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: out because I'm sure it's pretty stressful to keep someone 310 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: captive like that. So the captive, the kidnapp e, sees 311 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: these wild mood swings maybe and maybe feels threatened by this, 312 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: and in order to survive again, they feel like they 313 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: have to learn the emotional patterns of this person. And 314 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: so what happens is they end up connecting and by 315 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: learning about this person, by studying their behavior, they get 316 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 1: to know him and like that sits right, yeah, And 317 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: that's like when they figure out that just obeying everything 318 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: the person says is not enough, because the fuzz outside 319 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: shooting tear gas into the bank vault is really starting 320 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: to take the hostage, take her off, and you can 321 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 1: obey all day long, but the police are screwing. Thing 322 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: is up. And I'll bet that's also about the time 323 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: when that um, that third step where you come to 324 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: see um the outside world, the people who are trying 325 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: to rescue you as harmful as a threat. Yeah. Um, 326 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: So you get to know your captor you're obeying um. 327 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: And then it comes this part where if you listen 328 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: to the Brainwash episode, this will make a lot of sense. 329 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: Um your captor displays some minor bit of kindness towards you. Yeah, 330 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: this is the key, I think, and this is why 331 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: they think possibly abuse can't be present. Oh yeah, yeah, 332 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: because because it breaks down this very essential ingredient of kindness, 333 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: or it can't well or if the abuse stops, they said, 334 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: sometimes just the lack of violence from a certain point 335 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: the scene, as like, will you do me a kindness? Okay, 336 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: quit beating and raping me. So I would I would 337 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: agree with you on that one. But for the most part, say, 338 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: it could be offering food. It could be something as 339 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: simple as stopping abusing some buddy, or just saying I'm 340 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: not going to kill you yet, or I'm not just 341 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: not killing the person yet, and the the captor, Um, no, 342 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: the hostage comes to see the captor as some sort 343 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: of savior because the captor not only can kill you 344 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: because he's got your life in his hands, he's not 345 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: killing you, which means he's protecting you. And now your 346 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: brain just broke a little bit. Well. And and if 347 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: they're the one bringing you your food and water and 348 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: books and magazines, like, they're essentially the one caring for 349 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: you because they're keeping you alive. And in the case 350 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: of J. C. Lee Duggard, um, I think like on 351 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: the very first day after she was like handcuffed and raped, 352 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: the guy was started to tell her like amusing stories 353 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: and things. I mean, this dude was seriously twisted, but um, 354 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: and like would get her fast food and things like that, 355 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: so like kind of right out of the gate, he 356 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: would like do these little random acts of kindness, which 357 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure just confused the hell Ouever, Oh yeah, bet, 358 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: because she was pretty young when she was I think 359 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: she was ten. There's nothing can you imagine you could 360 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: do to these people that would be as bad as 361 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: what they did to those No, you know it's absolutely true. Um, 362 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: there's another woman whose name I don't recall, who was 363 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: kept in a box under a bed Helena. No, No, 364 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: it was like for real for years, Like she wasn't 365 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: like allowed out or anything like that, Like she was 366 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: kept in a box. Yeah. And it's like, you raise 367 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good point. What what can you possibly do 368 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: to somebody who did that to someone else? I mean that, 369 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: do you think just desserts like eye for an eye? Yeah, 370 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: while you put him in prison and they eventually get 371 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: out or down't. I guess that's similar. But the prison 372 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: is although it has some of those hallmarks because the 373 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: guards are in charge and can beat you up, and 374 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: there a lot of stuff. You're still connected in some 375 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: ways to the outside world, and there's still a lot 376 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: of dependence that the prisoner would have that somebody like 377 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: being held hostage like this stuff like it would probably 378 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: be solitary confinement for the duration. Yeah, uh, the old 379 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: Quaker sentence, right. Remember they're the ones who came up 380 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: with solitary so you could think about what you did. So, um, 381 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: the captain now has emerged as your savior and as 382 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: a friend kind of. And I think it's in the 383 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: sense of, you know, when you go through something like 384 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: really hardcore and intense and threatening with somebody, but it's 385 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: not because of them. Like you can feel either tight 386 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: with that person or you can feel like Homer and 387 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: Mr Burr is getting trapped in that house during the avalanche. 388 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: I never want to talk about it again. Yeah, you 389 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: never want to see that weirdo again, right, um, But 390 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: this would be type A. But the it's you're identifying 391 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: with your captor, Like you guys are going through this crazy, 392 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: intense thing together, and you're throwing out the window the 393 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: fact that the captor has started all this and has 394 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: dragged you into it, put your life in jeopardy, and 395 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: now you're friends with this person, and you think that 396 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: if you guys work together, you can get out of 397 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: this mess and maybe like go, you know, live in 398 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: Jamaica and hang out well. And I'm sure that the 399 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: captors at some point over the course of these years 400 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: say things to reinforce that, like you know, what are 401 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: we doing here? Like what's going on? I've kept you 402 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: in this thing, and how look at this mess we 403 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: are in You think, oh, that's I'm just surmising, but yeah, 404 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: I think, but I think, well, like saying a bank 405 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: robbery or something. It's like you're you if you have 406 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: classic Stockholm syndrome. You're saying, you know, let me talk 407 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: to the cops. I'll get us out of here, Like 408 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: I'll tell them that like they got it all wrong 409 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: or something like that. That that level of identifying with 410 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: your captors. Now you're just raised yourself to the same 411 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: level as the bank robber as well, which I guess 412 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: probably gives you a little bit of humanity. So the 413 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: prevalence of this stuff is definitely debatable. Um, there's an 414 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: actual database, Chuck called the um Hostage Barricade Database System, 415 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: and it's an FBI database, and it's cases of people 416 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: basically taking hostages and surveying this they found about hostages 417 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: showed no signs whatsoever Stockholm syndro. These kidnappings or hostages 418 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: are both. I would say hostage taking, I believe. UM, 419 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: so that means people do show some affinity, you would 420 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: think so. But at the same time you can us 421 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: to say, well, like it's some high percentage of hostage 422 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: taking their domestic disputes, where like you know the person, 423 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 1: so they already have an affinity for them. If they 424 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: shoot themselves, then you immediately feel bad for that person too, 425 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: So we almost need a set of data just about 426 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 1: like strangers taking strangers hostage exactly. That would give us 427 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: a probably a better view of Stockholm syndrome. That's um 428 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: And I think I had a larger point, but I 429 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: don't remember what it was. Oh, I've got it, you're ready. 430 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: So despite the the a lot of law enforcement people 431 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: poo pooing the idea of Stockholm syndrome or it's prevalence, 432 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: they do think that there's something to it, and they 433 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: actually hostage negotiators encourage the formation of Stockholm syndrome because 434 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: it keeps the guys alive. Yes, because when you hit 435 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: a certain point where you've got a classical Stockholm syndrome 436 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: case going on, but with the hostages identifying with their 437 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: captor as a friend, they may turn on the police 438 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: and it may make prosecution even down the road harder 439 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: because the people may refuse to testify. But in the 440 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: short term it can help keep the hostages alive because 441 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: the captor in turn will start to see the hostages 442 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: as human beings, because these are people who are coming 443 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: at them like friends. So what's going on and like, 444 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: what's your first name? And your kids and now the 445 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: idea of executing these people is much more removed. Interesting. 446 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, hostage neghostiators will try to like get the 447 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: whole Stockholm thing going. So now this can live in 448 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: a suite with brainwashing, cults, hostage negotiation and that's probably it, right, amazing. 449 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: It is now a four podcast suite. It is where 450 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: it was previously three. It is. But we're not done yet, No, 451 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: we're not. So I guess we should wrap up with 452 00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: Patty Hurst, very famous case of Stockholm syndrome, granddaughter of 453 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: William Randolph. First the newspaper Magnet, was famously kidnapped by 454 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: the Symbionese Liberation Army in the seventies, and uh was 455 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: reportedly abused and and brainwashed to a certain degree and 456 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: ended up sort of joining them in a famous robbery. Yeah, 457 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: she was. She turned into a bank robber, like with 458 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: the bray and the machine gun and the whole deal. 459 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: Everyone's seen the photo. But then after she was freed, 460 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: she publicly came out against the Symbianese Liberation Army um 461 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: and opposed it, which is unusual for somebody with Stockholm syndrome. Yeah, 462 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: and a lot of people thought maybe she was faking it. 463 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: Maybe she was making it up, but I think the 464 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: consensus now is that she was. Um, it was just 465 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: a survival tactic. Yeah, But for I remember many years though, 466 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: when I was a little kid hearing about this, like, oh, 467 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: some people thought she'd like you said she was. Now 468 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: she's tricking all us. She really did get into it, 469 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: and she's trying to save her bay can. Because look 470 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: at that photo with the machine gun beret. It's pretty 471 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: convincing but definitely interesting. And then it's a Warhol, isn't it. 472 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: Didn't he paint that? Really? I think? So he painted 473 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: up that photo and then he went on to uh 474 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: or she went on to starring John Waters movies. Oddly enough, 475 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: have you seen the thing on the video of vaner 476 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: Herzog like figuring out that John Waters is gay? No, 477 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: it's pretty great. Really, he's talking to people and you know, 478 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: the accent is just what makes it so priceless about 479 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: how you know people are just people to me, I 480 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: don't even think about gayle straight to something and he's 481 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: like I was. I've known John Waters for like twenty something. 482 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: He is and I love him. And I said to 483 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: my wife recently, I said, I think he might be gay, 484 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: and everyone in the room just cracks up. And he 485 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: was just illustrating a point like I just don't even 486 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: see people like that. Never donned on me that John 487 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: Waters was gay. It's pretty funny, all right, That's all 488 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: I got. That's good. If you all learn more about 489 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: Stockholm syndrome. You can type that word into or those 490 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: two words into the search bar at how stiff works 491 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: dot com able to bring up this point article.

I'm a musketeer. Did you read 494 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: this one? No? I missed that. If there's a good one, Uh, 495 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: this guy, all right, I'll just read it. Um, Lauren McNett, 496 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: my father and I are abbot outdoorsman and carry a 497 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: flintlock muzzleloader whenever we can cool. We're also configured, Uh, 498 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: we've configured our flintlocks to be twenty gage shotdowns as well. 499 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: We would be so nervous pulling the trigger. They know 500 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: what we're they're doing, though. Um, we got through the 501 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: same process as the minute man. We load the powder charge, 502 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: load the patch load, the ball charge, the pan cock, 503 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: the hammer got to charge the paint and pull the 504 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: ceterric and finally pull the main trigger, at which point 505 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: the flint and the hammer strikes the frisen, showering the pan. 506 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: Was sparks that ignites the black powder in the pan, 507 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: which is adjacent to the touch hole. This guy's just 508 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: show it all. That in turn ignites the powder charge, 509 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: sending the one and eighty grain lead ball out of 510 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: the barrel at about eighteen hundred fifty ft per second, 511 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: which is faster than the speed of sound. Uh. There 512 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: is a difference in that true muskets do not have 513 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: rifled barrels where ours do because it increases accuracy. We've 514 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: been hunting for many years and we aren't anywhere near 515 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: the speed of the minute men, which was three shots 516 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: per minute. Um. We also don't have targets that fire back, obviously, 517 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: but they hunt like bits. They hunt deer, turkey, bear 518 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: and ducks with flintlocks, and it's really challenging and it 519 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: takes careful consideration, special tools and lots and lots of patients. 520 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: One yard shots are possible, but we generally try to 521 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: get within forty yards with the rifles. In twenty arts 522 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: with the shotguns, and he said, can confirm the inclement 523 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: weather does take a toll on the ability to fire, 524 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: even on human days. It can dampen the powder so 525 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: where it will not ignite. And then he just goes 526 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: on to point out that they are uh responsible hunters. 527 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: They typically only get one shot, so they do their 528 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: best to ensure that it is the swiftest, cleanest harvest possible, 529 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: and then they process the animals themselves and waste as 530 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: little as possible as a way of honoring an animal 531 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: and being respectful of natures. So that's Lauren McNett, ps 532 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: keep powder dry. Un let's have t shirts and say 533 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: that thanks lord. Yeah, pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Um, 534 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: we did it for the killing animals part, but I 535 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: get I get it, your hunter. But we did a 536 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 1: remember the is knife hunting the Fairest Way to hunt? Episode? 537 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: Oh man, that's an old one, it is, but it 538 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: was a good one. Remember we ended up like talking 539 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: about how if a boar comes at you and you 540 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: have a knife and that's it, you're on pretty much 541 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: equal footing. Yeah that's pretty fair. But then or the 542 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: end we started to go off on internet hunting or that. Yeah, 543 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: that was a great episode. Dig that up Everybody's knife 544 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: hunting the fairest way to hunt.

I was like, I'm not 547 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna write about this. Yeah, good for you. And it 548 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: went away because of that. It did like the next 549 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: day Internet Hunting. Yeah no, um no, but it has 550 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: gone away about that time. They chuck that contributed to 551 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: its device. Um let's see. If you wanted to tell 552 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: us about something, it can be anything, anything at all.
