So Jim Robertson, he 74 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: told us about the more meaningful side of the rainbow bridge. 75 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: Remember the rainbow bridge.

You recently suggested that one should 81 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: email just to say you're cute. Well here it is. Well, 82 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: thank you, John Wow, thank you.

Decades ago. When I was studying 86 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: a religion as an undergraduate, we delved into Zoroastrianism. Back 87 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: in my youth, the translation of sacred texts referred to 88 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: the rainbow bridge, whereon all souls must tread. For the evil, 89 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: the bridge is narrow and guarded by a demon waiting 90 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: to push them into an eternity of torture. For the good, 91 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 1: the bridge is wide and easily crossed. The last album 92 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: that Jimmy consciously recorded was the soundtrack from the documentary 93 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: of which you spoke. It was titled Rainbow Bridge. There 94 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: you have it. May Ahura Mazda be awaiting you with 95 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: open arms when you cross over, or maybe your favorite pets. Sure, 96 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: that's awesome, that's wish is Jim Roberts. I think that's 97 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: why dogs get the wide bridge exactly. Yeah, they get 98 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: just three bridge exactly. That's really you know they're going over, 99 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's right. Now, you know how we both 100 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: love Australia, but having never been there, it's more that 101 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: we love the Australia of the mind, yes, right, but 102 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: we also do love the Australian people.

Longtime fan, first 168 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: time sending you both a letter. So when you did 169 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: release the onions the Vincent Kisuga story, I thought, Hey, 170 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: that was just within the last few months here in 171 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: the Philippines. No idea where Vincent Kisuga is. But we 172 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: have our fair share of ridiculousness here. First it was 173 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: the sugar, then the onions. Maybe the onion mafia is 174 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: Cassuga related. Well, it turns out I looked into it. Yeah, 175 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: Filipino onion crisis. It wasn't manmated. There was no cossuga. 176 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: There's a series of storms that ravaged the Philippines agricultural sector. 177 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: But the ridiculousness comes in for how people respond to 178 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: this onion crisis, and well, first, how bad did things get? Apparently, 179 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: according to the BBC quote, earlier this month, ten crew 180 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: members from the Philippines Airlines were investigated for attempting to 181 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: smuggle nearly forty kilograms of onions and fruits in luggage bags. 182 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: So they're like getting to smuggling onion levels onions. So okay, 183 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: on a more positive inspiration from the onion crisis, this 184 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: is where we cut to you all right, back to 185 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: lay quote not a mashup. But Elizabeth might be interested 186 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: in this bride's bouquet which was made of you guessed it, onions. 187 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: So there's his pictures in the BBC of this woman 188 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: getting married the huge bouquet of onions. Wow, like she's 189 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: just flexing on them. Who got onions? Girls? Yeah? I 190 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: thought she's like, you know, basically, according to the BBC's quotes, 191 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: onions have been so sought after that April, like a Bori, 192 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: chose to carry a bouquet of the crop at her 193 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: wedding in Iolo City. I asked my groom if we 194 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: could use onions instead of flowers, since after the wedding 195 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: the flowers would wilt and up being thrown away missus 196 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: piori total local newspaper. So why not onions. It's practical 197 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: in a way that it could still be used after 198 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: the wedding. Yeah, you're gonna use them. Then they're gonna 199 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: like French. If I ever got married, I would probably 200 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: have just like a stick with like a long thing 201 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: of onion rings on it, and then you don't know 202 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: the bouquet, You just take them off and you fling 203 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: them out to the good people, a little onion disc 204 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: at him. You've thought about this, Okay, I like that one. 205 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: Now this next story, I assume this one has sent 206 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: for me, but maybe for both of us. Who knows. 207 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: You remember the shepherd fairy stickers under the giant has 208 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: a posse? Yes? Yes, I had a friend who made 209 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: some that were like a riff on those for himself 210 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: and put them all over the town. Did he also 211 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: have a posse? Yeah? Sure, the same sticker. He's like, 212 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: Bob has a posse. Yeah, that's hilarious. Anyway, Well, apparently, 213 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: you know Andre the Giant. It may have been said 214 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: that he needed a posse Shepherd Ferry, but truly clearly 215 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: the brother did not. That man did not need a posse. 216 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: He was a posse exactly. Thank you. So this listener, 217 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: Anthony Page, he wanted us to know about the time 218 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: that Andre the Giant once took on the Cedar Rapids 219 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: Police Department. Oh whoa, yes, I loved this. So the 220 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: year was nineteen eighty nine August twenty first to be 221 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: exact date line. Cedar Rapids, Iowa arresting officer Dave Zanner recalled, 222 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: He's definitely the biggest dude I've ever arrested. So I'll 223 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: get into it already. Andrew the Giant rusom off. He 224 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: stood seven feet four inches tall. He weighed five hundred 225 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: and twenty pounds. He could drink one hundred beers in 226 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: a single sitting. I've seen the pictures of him holding 227 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: a beer and it's like a little tiny baby one. 228 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: It looks like like a doll silverware. Yeah, and it's 229 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: like a tall boy exactly. Yeah, that's Salandre the Giant. 230 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: So trouble started after this giant wrestler is ragdalling a 231 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: cameraman around inside the US Cellular Center and cedar rapids. Right. 232 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: The cameraman, Ben Hilderbrandt, was a local media guy. He's 233 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: just there to cover the WWF matches because at the 234 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: time he's WWF before WWE, So he's there to cover 235 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: the WWF matches the World Wildlife fund Man exactly. The 236 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: panda is going against the giraffe. So the main event 237 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: is Andre the Giant versus the Ultimate Warrior. Remember the 238 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: Ultimate Warrior. He's the one had like face paint and regalia. 239 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: He had like arm chains and like I don't know, 240 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: like like a fringe and ribbons and stuff hanging off him. Yeah, 241 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: he looked like Burning Man before Burning Man. Okay, so 242 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: that's him. It sounds pretty ultimate. Yeah, but he's supposed 243 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: to be like a warrior, so he's gonna fight the giant, right, 244 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: So hilderbrand is there to film the funny bits, but 245 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: then he gets warmed that not all the wrestlers would 246 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: want to play along. Specifically, the seven foot four, five 247 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty pound giant called Andre like him alone. Yeah, 248 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: as Hilderbrand recalled, the ring announcer comes over and says, 249 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: Andrea is different. You can't record him wrestling. I said, fine, 250 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: maybe I can record him walking in and the bell 251 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: being rung. And then now she said, nah, fine, So 252 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: Andre walks in, I shoot that, I shoot the bell 253 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: being wrung, and immediately he's pinned. I'm not even looking 254 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: and suddenly Andre is on me. So it turns out 255 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: the cameraman Hildebrand missed the action. It's what wrestlers would 256 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: call a squash move. So Andrea is supposed to go 257 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: in and pin the Ultimate Warrior within thirty seconds. It's 258 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: really fast, right, the young cameraman totally miss the action. 259 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: This pisses Andre the giant off makes no sense to me. 260 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: He storms over, he takes the camera from Hildebrand. Now 261 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: keep in mind, Hildebrand is about five foot nine, he 262 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: weighs about one hundred and sixty pounds, so he goes 263 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: with the camera pretty much. Yeah, both of them. So, 264 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: as it's Hildebrand recalled, it was really much like someone 265 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: who is whipping a towel or piece of paper around. 266 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's him getting totally raged. So at some 267 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: point Hunter. The giants slapped Hilderbrant in the side of 268 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: the head, just a standard wrestling move, but not for 269 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: Hildebrands shot out of his heart apologies, ashot other ears before. 270 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: At some point gone through, the grabs the camera from 271 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: Hildebrand and he tosses it down, breaks it, smashes it. Hildebrandt. Fine, 272 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't breaks and smash hildebrand The guy's still there, right, 273 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: and hildebrand says, quote, I had never been in a 274 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: fight before or after in my life, and I just 275 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: got whipped around like a doll in front of four 276 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: thousand fans, who, by the way, thought this was part 277 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: of the entertainment. Beer was thrown on me, people spit 278 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: on me. It was just surreal. So nobody gets it 279 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: this as part of the show. So the whole time 280 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: he's jeered as like the villain, right, he's been treated 281 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: as the heel. So the promoters of the show are 282 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: able to get the two men separated. Right once they 283 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: get Hilderbrandt to safety, what do you think they do? 284 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: They start yelling at him, like why you mess up 285 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: the show? What the hell has runs? So now he's 286 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: getting yelled at by the promoters. Right. Oh, then the 287 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: cops show up. So now on the cops show up 288 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: and they had to do something about this enraged giant 289 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: who was just beating up this helpless camera man as 290 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: the fans cheered on. They're like, what do we do? 291 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: The cops, you know, they get orders from their captain 292 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: back of the station. He's like, Andre the Giant is 293 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: to be arrested on assault and crim little message car. 294 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: They don't have the cups for that exactly, So the 295 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: cops they have to go. They find Andre the Giant 296 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: at this point, he is you know, like they're there 297 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: to arrest him, right, So they have to go and 298 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: find him somewhere because he's not on the main stage anymore. 299 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: He's in the back of the stadium. There's a problem 300 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: with the finding him. He's naked, right, So when they 301 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: find him, they find a naked Andre the Giant, all 302 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: five hundred and forty pounds of him, and he's in 303 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: the shower. So now the cops have to stand around 304 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: and wait for him to finish totally, and he gets 305 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: like toweled off and everything, and so once the Giant 306 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: is clothed and his hair is dry, then the cops 307 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: have to arrest him. So one of the arresting officers 308 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: is dude, Sergeant Jerry Potter. He goes and he recalls 309 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: under the Giant's response when the cops tell him, look, 310 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: you're under arrest, he said, I think this is the 311 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: cops off Sergeant Jerry Potter's recollections quote. I don't remember 312 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: his exact words, but he said something like, I'm not 313 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: going anywhere and you're not taking me. Yea, what do 314 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: you do? Exactly? Like, first of all, he's not going 315 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: to fit in the back of a cop car. Oh, 316 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: I have answers for that. So they can't shoot him. 317 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: They don't have tasers. What do they do? They have 318 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: to ask him nicely to come down to the police 319 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: department on top of the cruiser. Would you please be 320 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: arrested with us? So the arresting officer, Sergeant Potter, he says, 321 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: I just explained it to him. You're under arrest. You 322 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 1: do have to go over to the jail with us, 323 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: but it's not a big problem. Your manager can follow us, 324 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: You'll be released and it won't even take long. They're like, look, 325 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: it's not going a big deal. Something something. Princess bry 326 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: just come with us. So eventually they convince Andre to 327 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: the Giant to come along peacefully. But as you pointed out, 328 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: they have no handcuffs are gonna fit his enormous wrists. 329 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: So what did they do. They happen to have leg 330 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: shackles from the county jail, so they use leg shackles. 331 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: They pull them out as a real fat. Sergeant Pottery 332 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: tells Andrew the Giant, I'll use them if you make me. 333 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: I said it a joking manner, and it got him laughing. 334 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: When Andre starts belly laughing, it seemed like the whole 335 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: room shakes. Yeah, this is huge, dude. They're like, okay, 336 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: now we got the other question you said, which is 337 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: how are we going to get them to the station. 338 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: So they have to fit them in the car. They 339 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: don't have a car that'll fit them, but they find 340 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: one that doesn't have the partition between the back and 341 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: where the cops sit, so then they go, okay, we'll 342 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: use this. They put him on one side and they 343 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: have as his feet go like over the front seat 344 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: and then over the back seat, so one foot's like 345 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: in the footwell the back seat, the other foots in 346 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: the footwell the front seat. And he's he's got his 347 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: head up against the window and they're able to get 348 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: him to the police station. They didn't a truck, That's 349 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: what I was thinking. I'm on a flatbed. Get the 350 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: wrecker in there, and like, how did he travel around 351 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: like in a bus? I suppose yeah, generally he did 352 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: everything to drive a car. They've shown footage of him 353 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: driving like stuff. It's yeah, top down, do a lot 354 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: of convertibles. You know, He's not driving anything with a 355 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: fixed top. So they eventually get the Giant down there 356 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: and they go to book I mean they asked Johndrew 357 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: the Giant for a souvenir while they're booking him because 358 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: his fingers are too big for the fingerprint car. So 359 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: they're using eight by eleven paper to get his fingerprints. Yes, 360 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: so one of the cops like, I get a full 361 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: handprint and you get you to sign it, and he 362 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: slaps him in the face. There's your hand Happily A 363 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: Bige was like, y'all'll ink on his face forever, like 364 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: a tattoo the face. So Andre he gets fined one 365 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for criminal mischief and in order to pay 366 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: two hundred thirty three dollars to Casey RG for their 367 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: news camera. So and also he's not he's judged not 368 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: guilty of assault and everything is happy and Cedar rapids Iowa, 369 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: except for poor Bed and Hilda Brand. Yeah, so I 370 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: hope he's okay. Yeah.

As a reality, it'll 443 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: probably just result in lots of time in a courtroom. 444 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, unless you want to spend tots of time 445 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: in a courtroom.

In nineteen o eight, 478 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: The New York Times reported on a dog in Paris 479 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: who saved a child from a river, and he was 480 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: rewarded with a steak. Over the next few weeks, that 481 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: dog continued to save more kids from the river for 482 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: more steak rewards, untill they figured out the dog tossed 483 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: the kids into the river to save them for the 484 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: steak treats. That's one kind of dog. I love that dog. 485 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: Dustin Pile had another one for you.

Okay quote there is 487 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: also a pet pig in Texas currently who can escape 488 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: his house. He can even escape a harness. He then 489 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: went on an escapade of eating the neighbors jack o lanterns. 490 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: This led to neighbors being sad because the pig did 491 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: not eat their pumpkins. Ultimately, the neighborhood and pig owner 492 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: started a drive to give leftover jack o lanterns to 493 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: the pig.

Now, by the way, Logan had another 520 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: story to share. Okay, you're ready. I don't know if 521 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: this would be considered a ridiculous story. But I have 522 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: a story about my uncle who's currently serving a prison 523 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: sentence for an elementary school break in spree across three 524 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: counties Smith Wilson into Cab County or around the mid 525 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: two thousand tents. Some details I know is that my 526 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: baby mom is the one who did the driving while 527 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: he did the break in. And I don't know if 528 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: it was every time, but they would have their son 529 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: with them, and they got caught because an officer drove 530 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: by a school and noticed it was broken in. And ironically, 531 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: this officer and his family knew my mom and stepdad. 532 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: This wasn't the first time he got in trouble with 533 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: the law. Back in the early two tents, my uncle 534 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: and this guy robbed a school and Mount Joliet. When 535 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: the videos and pictures were shown on news networks, I 536 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: was at work on break when I saw them. The 537 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: first thing I thought to myself was what the excuse 538 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: the language? And I called my mom and she knew. Basically, 539 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: it seemed like a lot of people on side knew 540 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: it was him because of his mannerisms, but my grandmother 541 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: was in denial about it, and I think her and 542 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: my grandfather got into an argument about it because he 543 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: knew it was him all my grandmother said it wasn't 544 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: a little while later he got arrested, but it turned 545 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: out to be for a different charge. And that's all 546 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: I can remember about it, yea. Anyway, keep up the 547 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: good working on the show. I'm loving it. Wow. I 548 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: just loveing family all knowing immediately it's him on TV, like, oh, 549 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: that's Uncle Johnny. I know that walk that I recognize 550 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: that little anyway, So Elizabeth, I got four more words 551 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: for you, Yes, but in this case of four words 552 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: are also for producer Dave. Oh yeah, the Buddy Sancy musical. Yes, 553 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: Island's finest now listener Brian writes in and I gotta 554 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: quote him. Hey, guys, I loved your episode on Buddy. 555 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: You reminded me how much I loved and miss Buddy. 556 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: I'll never forget the night the Feds charged him. The 557 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: local news sent a young reporter out to a bar 558 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: to get reactions from locals. She obviously wasn't from around 559 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: here because she was shocked that everyone's reaction was just 560 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: and she could not convince anyone it was about thing 561 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: we all know, Buddy was corrupt. But he was corrupt 562 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: for us exactly. I met a stafford at a bar 563 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: once and she told me a great story about a 564 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: woman who came to his office representing a charity and 565 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: he shouted, to someone, where's the money from that drug bust? 566 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: Give it to this lady. You have to understand, though, 567 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: that Rhode Island was a mob state at the time. 568 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: The patriarcha family operated more or less in the open 569 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: and did a great job of keeping disorganized crime down. 570 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: In fact, one of my first jobs was that a 571 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: known mob front. It made for a great story in college. 572 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: Whenever someone asked what I did over the summer, I 573 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: tell him I worked for the mob. They turned white 574 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: and asked what I did. I told him I was 575 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: a short order cook. So I can't. I still can't 576 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: watch mob movies because they always make the mafia out 577 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: to be bad guys. Nonsense, and you missed a great detail. 578 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: Buddy had a locker at the Capitol Grill. I believe 579 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: it was locker number one, with a few bottles of 580 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: his Marinera in it, even while he was in prison. Cheers, Brian, 581 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: So right, you gotta love the bit about we all 582 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: knew Buddy was corrupt, but he was corrupt for us that, 583 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: you know. Listen, I will put up with, you know, 584 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: municipal corruption if they take care of the people. Yeah. 585 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: I'll just say, now, Dave, do you is this accurate? 586 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean, were we speaking out of turn here? Yeah? 587 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: Mari Narrow bottles cigars and I think a backup to 588 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: pay is amazing. All the capital grill just on demand. 589 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: So I got another one for you. This is from listeners, 590 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: doctor Stephen Angel. Okay, he writes in quote, I don't 591 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: know if this is necessarily a crime yet, but could be. 592 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 1: And the headline alone, Yeah right, excry just letting us know. 593 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm about to give you guys great a content. Watch 594 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: this space, hold my beer now. Headline he sent in 595 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: was player at Saint Louis Chess Cup accused of using 596 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: anal beads to cheat. Oh yeah, so that face you 597 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: just made me amazing. By the way, thanks so. According 598 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: to the Riverfront Times quote, the matching question happened on 599 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: September four during the sink Field Cup, one of the 600 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: longest running chess tournaments in the United States. It is 601 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 1: the final leg of the Grand Chess Tour. It features 602 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: some of the world's best chess players, as well as 603 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty thousand dollars total prize fund. So 604 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: the story goes on to note in round three of 605 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: the Cup, Magnus Carlson thirty one, a chess grand master 606 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: from Norway, played against Hans Niemann nineteen, a chess prodigy 607 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: originally from San Francisco. So stories start a pick up, right, 608 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: So a grand champion goes as this young upstart from 609 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: the city. Right, Yeah, not exactly alarm bells yet. But 610 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: when did the anal beats enter the picture? Great question, Elizabeth, 611 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: I know you wanted to know to know before the 612 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: news story outlines who these two chess champs are and 613 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: the relative to each other. Let's just get into that first. 614 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: We'll get into the anal beats next. Thank you, so 615 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: stay patients. Quote. Carlson is a five time grand champion 616 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: and one of the greatest chess players in the world. 617 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: He's been a chess for nom since he was thirteen, 618 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: and there's even a documentary about him titled Magnus that 619 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: found a general audience beyond just chess players. Nieman is 620 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: also a grandmaster, though according to World Chess dot Com, 621 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: Nieman was the lowest rated player at the tournament other 622 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: than that little dig at the end, right right. The 623 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: last time these two faced in an online tournament, Carlson 624 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: lost to Niemen, right, So who then said in his 625 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: post victory press conference, the chess speaks for itself. That's 626 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: the young upstart. Right after that, he went on to 627 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: lose two of the next three matches against Carlson. So well, 628 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: the chess spoke for itself exactly. He set himself up 629 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: on that one. So cut to the chess event in 630 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: Saint Louis, the one under question. Yeah, Nieman beats Carlson 631 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: in this shocking victory that Fiss referred to as quote 632 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: an upset for the ages. Now, why would VISs say that, 633 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not what they're known for their chess. Now, 634 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: it's according to the Riverfront Times, Carlson had played fifty 635 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: three classical matches without a loss, and Carlson was playing white, 636 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: which has a statistical advantage over black since white moves 637 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: first in chess. Now, after the victory, Nieman told this 638 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: Saint Louis Chess Club, which subsequently posted his comments and 639 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: a YouTube channel for everyone to see. Quote. I think 640 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: Carlson was just so demoralized because he's losing to an 641 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: idiot like me. It must be embarrassing for the world 642 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: champion to lose to me. I feel bad for him. 643 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: Oh right, So now the gossip starts. He's basically texted, 644 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: suck it, yeah, exactly due the whole city of this guy. 645 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: So the YouTube videos get posted. More YouTube videos get posted. 646 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: Another chess champion, this dude, Hikaro Nakamura. He posts a 647 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: video where he outlines his theory that Nieman cheated, and 648 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: so Weiss follows this you know, and it basically explains 649 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: Nakamura's whole theory. Weiss describes a discussion of this player 650 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: who could cheat by quote using vibration based buttons in 651 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: a player's shoe. And here Elizabeth is where anal beads 652 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: entered the picture. Okay, enter Elon musk. Oh. He followed 653 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: the drama in the chess world, and being Elon musk 654 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: he wanted to add his two cents. He tweeted a 655 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: riff on a quote from philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer and I quote, 656 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: talent hits a target no one else can hit.

It's called the Spam Museum of 711 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: the And it's not an email museum, it's canned meat museum. Yeah. So, 712 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: according to TRACYM had a quote, Austin, Minnesota is home 713 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 1: of spam. Spam, as you know, was the first can 714 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: meat that didn't need to be refrigerated, which was beneficial 715 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: in the war. Now spam is popular all over the world. Hormel, 716 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,720 Speaker 1: I think bought out spam, but one of the conditions 717 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: of the buyout from the owner creator of spam was 718 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 1: at the headquarters, had to stay in this tiny town 719 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: of Austin, Minnesota, and a certain percentage of yearly sales 720 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: of spam had to go back to the community, and 721 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: another larger percentage of sales had to go to a 722 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: cancer researched institute that is also located in Austin, Minnesota. Yeah, 723 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: all dope stuff. Way to go spam, right, how much 724 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: cancer has spam cost? Oh? Come on saving more people 725 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: that it's putting over. That is true, that's sustaining. The 726 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: spam stand for something. Yeah, it's uh, what is it? 727 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: Some pretty as meat? No, it's some pretty as I 728 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 1: think it's a it's some thing about pork and ham. 729 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: It's I don't I don't remember. I don't know. Okay, Yeah, yeah, 730 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: some pretty as meat. That's what it stands for. Now. 731 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: In Austin, there is a spam museum quote where they 732 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: have all sorts of spam facts and facts and things 733 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 1: to look at, like a motorcycle to drove across country 734 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: on Greece. Not sure if it was spam juice. It 735 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: is actually an interesting and fun museum. While they're visiting, 736 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: one of the workers told us all sorts of fun 737 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,919 Speaker 1: facts about spam. The best was about a man from 738 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: England who loved spam. I mean loved it. He loved 739 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: it so much that he went to the Crown to 740 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: ask to have his name changed. Not sure what his 741 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,399 Speaker 1: name was before, but let's say John Smith. So John 742 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: Smith changed his name to John I Love Spam. He 743 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 1: also got married and his wife took his I Love 744 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: Spam last name. John I Love Spam wanted to get 745 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: married at the Spam Museum and their response was you 746 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: spam and believe it. I added that part. They said, 747 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 1: we will allow you to get married at the spam 748 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: Museum as long as we pay for it all. So 749 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: they flew him and his friends and a family to America, 750 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: had a big media event with news cameras, and I 751 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: think I Am even sent them on us honeymoon as well. 752 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: TRACYM wow. So it's not really a crime in that one, 753 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,959 Speaker 1: but it was ridiculous. It is totally ridiculous. I didn't 754 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: know there's a spam museum, so now we know, and 755 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: there's John I Love Spam out there somewhere in the 756 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: world where I don't think so. I wonder if he 757 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: goes to Hawaii and they're like yeah, oh my god, 758 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: they're like brought up. Yeah. Now this next one we 759 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: have an email is from listener Steph Stewart. Okay, right, 760 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: this is the last of the emails for you, right, okay, 761 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: so buckle up. Yes, quote hello, I just quote hello. 762 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: That was it. It was a short email. Ridiculous, right, suck. 763 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: So this one goes and I quote I just adore 764 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: your podcast. I used to work as a nine one 765 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,479 Speaker 1: one emergency dispatcher, and the ridiculous crimes were a big 766 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: reason I love my job. I have some short crimes 767 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,919 Speaker 1: that I thought you would enjoy, some from my time 768 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: as a dispatcher, and some from my hometown of Waukeisha, Wisconsin. Well, 769 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: we'll read just one because she was kind enough to 770 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: give us a bunch. But for this story, Steph is 771 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: given it the title the Gorilla Man. I already loved this, 772 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: so she wrote, this one is my favorite because I 773 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 1: was the connecting factor to solving this case years after 774 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: it took place. So, like you, special investigator, she's down 775 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: to solve a mystery years after the case. She got 776 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: to the bottom of a gorilla man mystery. So, Elizabeth, 777 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: are you ready for this one? Yeah? I'd like you 778 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: to close your eyes. Picture it. Picture quote. When I 779 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: was a freshman in college, I lived in an on 780 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 1: campus housing. One day, one of my classmates came knocking 781 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: on my door unannounced. You'll never guess what just happened. 782 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: A guy dressed as a gorilla jumped out at me 783 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: from behind the bushes. She excitedly told me, Oh, no, 784 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: is he okay? I asked you. See, my friend did 785 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: not look intimidating in the least. She was a little 786 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: Korean woman. Little did most people know she was a 787 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: black belt in some type of martial arts. You can't 788 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: remember which anymore, but from Atlanta, Georgia. She had started 789 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: martial arts to protect herself in her neighborhood. She had 790 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: beaten the gorilla man too badly, just enough that he 791 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: ran off. Yes. So fast forward a couple of years 792 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: and I'm working as a nine one one dispatcher. During 793 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: a dead stretch, my co worker started telling me stories 794 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: from before I started at the department. Quote, just a 795 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: couple of months before you started here, she shared, there 796 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: was this guy in a gorilla suit who kept jumping 797 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: out from bushes at people. By the time our officers 798 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: would arrive he would be gone. We could never figure 799 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: out who he was, since you know, he had a 800 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: guerrilla mask on. Then one day he just stopped. We 801 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 1: haven't gotten a single call about a guerrilla man since 802 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: I know what happened, I said. I then told her 803 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: about my friend and her lightning fast reflexes. After work, 804 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: I headed over to my boyfriend's apartment unrelated. He's now 805 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: my husband and also loves your podcast, and told him 806 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: all about how I solved the mystery what happened to 807 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: the guerrilla man. Jeremiah sat there quietly for a minute 808 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: before saying, so that's why he got rid of that what? 809 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: Needless to say, I was intrigued. You know my old 810 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: roommate who rented that TV, the one who's jeep you 811 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: filled with tumbleweeds? Yeah, that one. What about him? So 812 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: he had this gorilla costume he always had in his backpack, 813 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: and then one day it was gone and he would 814 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: never tell us why. Next time I shared a ship 815 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: with that coworker, I told her the rest of the story. 816 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: It was such a weird coincidence. I'm not even sure 817 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: she believed me. I wow, right, that's an amazing story. 818 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: So good. So Steph also recalled when the Stratavarius was 819 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 1: stolen in Milwaukee, which we've covered, and she writes, quote, 820 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: I also remember when the Stratavarius was stolen in Milwaukee. 821 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: It was right before my parents came out to help 822 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: me with my first baby, when the master art thief 823 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: wanted to keep the violin in Milwaukee. That's just the 824 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: most Wisconsin thing I've ever heard coming from that area. 825 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot of local pride. It's kind of fun. 826 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: Steph Stewart, I love it. Thank you, Steph. Oh that 827 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 1: was so good. I love the Gorilla Man story. That's 828 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: one of my favorites. I love the local pride. I 829 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: wish that, by the way, for anyone, not just people 830 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: in the Midwest in the South, but I love where 831 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: you are from, or maybe you should move and find 832 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: somewhere you do love well. I mean, I think right now, 833 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: it seems like I've talked about next door and everyone 834 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: I know all over the country who lurks on next 835 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: door like I do. Everyone complains about everything and they're 836 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, kind of fearmongering, And I think it's a 837 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: good idea to stop and think about the things you 838 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: actually like the exactly about where you live. I mean 839 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 1: not to be like all like gratitude warrior about it, 840 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: but you know, like maybe like you know, listics to yourself, 841 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: a couple of things you love about where you live, 842 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: so they can kind of balance out all the things 843 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: about like man, the car break ins or whatever it 844 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 1: is in your neighborhood that are getting you bummed out 845 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 1: because there's a lot to love. But also you know what, 846 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: not to get super cheesy on it, but to get 847 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,240 Speaker 1: super cheese belt to bring it. It's a good idea 848 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: to just do that in general, not just from where 849 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: you are, but like you know, when you're thinking in 850 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: an kind of negative headspace, to stop and be like, Okay, 851 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,919 Speaker 1: what are the things that are rad right now?
