Now, 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:46.360 this one comes from listener Brogan Luke Boquise. I'm hoping 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.280 I'm saying that right. It's b o u w h 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:54.120 u I s okay boise so Brogan, whatever it is, 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.000 it's beautiful, he writes in because y'all love trains, If 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.320 you visit a certain small town in the America West, 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.720 a park ranger will show you a crater and tell 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.560 you the story of a meteor taking out the town's 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.680 railroad in the aftermath of World War Two. There was 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:16.080 no meteor. My dumbass grandfather accidentally blew up a train. Yes, broke, 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.120 and we love this. It's incredible. So this is what 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.000 we were talking about, snitching on your family and reminding 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.160 us all that there's always more to the stories they 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.600 get told. Yes. Now, we also receive some very nice 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.680 emails from a very smart, imperceptive fans. Sometimes they will 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.440 offer corrections of my my pronunciation of things, which yet 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.159 those two, or they offer local insights bits of history. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.000 Other times, like this email from listener Jim Robertson, the 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.640 listeners will give us helpful context. So Jim Robertson, he 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.000 told us about the more meaningful side of the rainbow bridge. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:54.359 Remember the rainbow bridge. Yes, the rainbow exactly going to 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.359 Doggie Heaven or whatever the rainbow bridge except be dope. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.120 I want to go to Doggie Heaven right right now? 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.960 Is it me? That's what it is? Okay, I get it. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.360 So listener, Jim Robertson, he writes, and I quote, hello, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.880 you wonderfully entertaining people. You recently suggested that one should 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.360 email just to say you're cute. Well here it is. Well, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.279 thank you, John Wow, thank you. Additionally, I heard some 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.000 confusion concerning Jimmy hendrickson his ascension to dog or pet Heaven. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.799 The concept of the rainbow bridge leading to pet Heaven 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.200 is a recent affectation. Decades ago. When I was studying 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.719 a religion as an undergraduate, we delved into Zoroastrianism. Back 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.280 in my youth, the translation of sacred texts referred to 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.520 the rainbow bridge, whereon all souls must tread. For the evil, 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.360 the bridge is narrow and guarded by a demon waiting 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.640 to push them into an eternity of torture. For the good, 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.239 the bridge is wide and easily crossed. The last album 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.360 that Jimmy consciously recorded was the soundtrack from the documentary 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.680 of which you spoke. It was titled Rainbow Bridge. There 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.359 you have it. May Ahura Mazda be awaiting you with 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.839 open arms when you cross over, or maybe your favorite pets. Sure, 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.080 that's awesome, that's wish is Jim Roberts. I think that's 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.880 why dogs get the wide bridge exactly. Yeah, they get 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:10.160 just three bridge exactly. That's really you know they're going over, 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.520 So yeah, that's right. Now, you know how we both 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.200 love Australia, but having never been there, it's more that 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.359 we love the Australia of the mind, yes, right, but 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.080 we also do love the Australian people. Oh they're they're 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.680 awesome in reality, like we sure there's some not some 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.920 awesome people guys, of course, you know the ones that 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.800 we've encountered, but as a culture, the people that we 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.120 have met were like, it's west. Yeah, yeah, they're goers. 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.920 I'm into it. Yeah. So this next one, it comes 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.320 to us from down Under. Listener Dylan g wanted us 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.839 to know, Hello, a ridiculous team. Oh wait, let me 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.040 try that again, A ridiculous team. I have a ridiculous 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.839 crime tip for you guys. Saw TikTok about it, thought 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.680 it might be right up ye alley. He is a 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.840 quote from a Voice dot com article on it. Dawn 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.679 Sands was at drinking in his hometown off Wan garretta 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.440 three hours north of Melbourn when he stumbled upon a 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.000 bank glitch that briefly made him rich. He'd left the 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.760 bar to get cash and discovering atm that was allowing 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.800 him to withdraw way beyond his balance, and after a 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.840 bit of trial and erra, the twenty nine year old 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.080 realized he'd found a loophole and ran with it. Where 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.680 does this go? Yeah? Doing jeez got us in a 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.760 benda that lasted some five months. Dan managed to spend 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.120 around one point six million of the bank's money. What 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:26.000 he threw lavish parties, shotted private jets, and paid off 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:30.400 his friends university fees, until, unsurprisingly, the police caught up 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.000 with him. He was getting all this out of an 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.880 atmack GTM visits do you have to do to pull out? 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.480 One point six minute? How many different ATMs? He's going back? 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.000 Apparently the same one? So well, aren't they getting suspicious 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.480 that someone's just bleeding it dry? I don't, I don't know. 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.960 I love this though. This is amazing, And he paid 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.080 off his friend's school day. What would you do if 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:51.760 you got a bank card that was like a magic 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.640 mystery bank card? Certainly not ranch ice cream. I don't know. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.640 I don't know what i'd do. I would, I'd offered 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.880 to Rihanna, No, I would to make a new album. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.080 I like, reread what's it gonna take to get you 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.520 in the studio? Like give it as a dowry for yourself? No, no, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.360 I'm not like that. I don't think she'd take that up. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:12.840 But I'm gonna give her one point six mil to 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.560 get in the studio.

That is something I would 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.560 not spend the money. Yeah, I know you would, ye money, 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.440 I might how much? One point what point six mil? 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.480 I don't know, you know, not really you don't have 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.240 like a Rihanna plan, right, I would like, you know, 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.800 queue up a boombox with some eighties music and go 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.680 on like a crazy spending spree with my friend Sarah 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.520 soundtracked spending. We'd have to have the Yeah. I mean, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.240 if you're gonna do it, it's like a like a 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.880 what's it called an yea for a film? Yeah, or 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.480 TV if you want.

But how great would that be walking 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.160 into like the you know, the store, just bumping this 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:03.400 music because you're throwing cash at everything. Yeah. Yeah, I'm 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.000 gonna go find an atmry and bleat it. I got 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.280 another one for you. This next one was specifically for you, Elizabeth, 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.880 for me. Yes, it comes to us from listener Ala 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.560 gerloc Baretto and Alla wrote to us about a recent 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.760 Vincent Cassuga like cornering of the market on onions move 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.880 in their home country of the Philippines. Oh really yeah, 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.160 but then they also had a special bit just for you. Okay, 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.400 so they said, and I quote, Hi, I'm a lay 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.640 A Filipino American residing in the Philippines. Longtime fan, first 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.160 time sending you both a letter. So when you did 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.280 release the onions the Vincent Kisuga story, I thought, Hey, 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.160 that was just within the last few months here in 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.840 the Philippines. No idea where Vincent Kisuga is. But we 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.600 have our fair share of ridiculousness here. First it was 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.719 the sugar, then the onions. Maybe the onion mafia is 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.760 Cassuga related. Well, it turns out I looked into it. Yeah, 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.920 Filipino onion crisis. It wasn't manmated. There was no cossuga. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.920 There's a series of storms that ravaged the Philippines agricultural sector. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.280 But the ridiculousness comes in for how people respond to 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.040 this onion crisis, and well, first, how bad did things get? Apparently, 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.200 according to the BBC quote, earlier this month, ten crew 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.440 members from the Philippines Airlines were investigated for attempting to 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.960 smuggle nearly forty kilograms of onions and fruits in luggage bags. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.559 So they're like getting to smuggling onion levels onions. So okay, 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.160 on a more positive inspiration from the onion crisis, this 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.000 is where we cut to you all right, back to 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.439 lay quote not a mashup. But Elizabeth might be interested 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.440 in this bride's bouquet which was made of you guessed it, onions. 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.120 So there's his pictures in the BBC of this woman 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.720 getting married the huge bouquet of onions. Wow, like she's 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:42.080 just flexing on them. Who got onions? Girls? Yeah? I 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.040 thought she's like, you know, basically, according to the BBC's quotes, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.880 onions have been so sought after that April, like a Bori, 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.080 chose to carry a bouquet of the crop at her 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.800 wedding in Iolo City. I asked my groom if we 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.000 could use onions instead of flowers, since after the wedding 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.319 the flowers would wilt and up being thrown away missus 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:05.000 piori total local newspaper. So why not onions. It's practical 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.840 in a way that it could still be used after 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.880 the wedding. Yeah, you're gonna use them. Then they're gonna 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:15.160 like French. If I ever got married, I would probably 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.439 have just like a stick with like a long thing 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.559 of onion rings on it, and then you don't know 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.480 the bouquet, You just take them off and you fling 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:28.200 them out to the good people, a little onion disc 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.920 at him. You've thought about this, Okay, I like that one. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.240 Now this next story, I assume this one has sent 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.280 for me, but maybe for both of us. Who knows. 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.000 You remember the shepherd fairy stickers under the giant has 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.760 a posse? Yes? Yes, I had a friend who made 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.120 some that were like a riff on those for himself 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.679 and put them all over the town. Did he also 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.480 have a posse? Yeah? Sure, the same sticker. He's like, 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:55.719 Bob has a posse. Yeah, that's hilarious. Anyway, Well, apparently, 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.080 you know Andre the Giant. It may have been said 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.560 that he needed a posse Shepherd Ferry, but truly clearly 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.680 the brother did not. That man did not need a posse. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.360 He was a posse exactly. Thank you. So this listener, 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.400 Anthony Page, he wanted us to know about the time 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.959 that Andre the Giant once took on the Cedar Rapids 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.000 Police Department. Oh whoa, yes, I loved this. So the 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.400 year was nineteen eighty nine August twenty first to be 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:24.760 exact date line. Cedar Rapids, Iowa arresting officer Dave Zanner recalled, 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.440 He's definitely the biggest dude I've ever arrested. So I'll 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.840 get into it already. Andrew the Giant rusom off. He 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.800 stood seven feet four inches tall. He weighed five hundred 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.920 and twenty pounds. He could drink one hundred beers in 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.920 a single sitting. I've seen the pictures of him holding 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.280 a beer and it's like a little tiny baby one. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.280 It looks like like a doll silverware. Yeah, and it's 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.280 like a tall boy exactly. Yeah, that's Salandre the Giant. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:53.080 So trouble started after this giant wrestler is ragdalling a 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.120 cameraman around inside the US Cellular Center and cedar rapids. Right. 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.600 The cameraman, Ben Hilderbrandt, was a local media guy. He's 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.480 just there to cover the WWF matches because at the 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.400 time he's WWF before WWE, So he's there to cover 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.679 the WWF matches the World Wildlife fund Man exactly. The 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.600 panda is going against the giraffe. So the main event 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.480 is Andre the Giant versus the Ultimate Warrior. Remember the 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.040 Ultimate Warrior. He's the one had like face paint and regalia. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.240 He had like arm chains and like I don't know, 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.920 like like a fringe and ribbons and stuff hanging off him. Yeah, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.840 he looked like Burning Man before Burning Man. Okay, so 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.320 that's him. It sounds pretty ultimate. Yeah, but he's supposed 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.079 to be like a warrior, so he's gonna fight the giant, right, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.679 So hilderbrand is there to film the funny bits, but 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.120 then he gets warmed that not all the wrestlers would 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.800 want to play along. Specifically, the seven foot four, five 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.319 hundred and twenty pound giant called Andre like him alone. Yeah, 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.800 as Hilderbrand recalled, the ring announcer comes over and says, 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.960 Andrea is different. You can't record him wrestling. I said, fine, 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.040 maybe I can record him walking in and the bell 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.760 being rung. And then now she said, nah, fine, So 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.760 Andre walks in, I shoot that, I shoot the bell 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.840 being wrung, and immediately he's pinned. I'm not even looking 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.319 and suddenly Andre is on me. So it turns out 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.520 the cameraman Hildebrand missed the action. It's what wrestlers would 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.760 call a squash move. So Andrea is supposed to go 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.960 in and pin the Ultimate Warrior within thirty seconds. It's 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.080 really fast, right, the young cameraman totally miss the action. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.280 This pisses Andre the giant off makes no sense to me. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.360 He storms over, he takes the camera from Hildebrand. Now 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.600 keep in mind, Hildebrand is about five foot nine, he 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.600 weighs about one hundred and sixty pounds, so he goes 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.840 with the camera pretty much. Yeah, both of them. So, 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.320 as it's Hildebrand recalled, it was really much like someone 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.920 who is whipping a towel or piece of paper around. 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:45.760 So yeah, that's him getting totally raged. So at some 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.280 point Hunter. The giants slapped Hilderbrant in the side of 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.800 the head, just a standard wrestling move, but not for 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:57.000 Hildebrands shot out of his heart apologies, ashot other ears before. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.080 At some point gone through, the grabs the camera from 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:05.760 Hildebrand and he tosses it down, breaks it, smashes it. Hildebrandt. Fine, 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.800 he doesn't breaks and smash hildebrand The guy's still there, right, 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.520 and hildebrand says, quote, I had never been in a 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.800 fight before or after in my life, and I just 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.160 got whipped around like a doll in front of four 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.680 thousand fans, who, by the way, thought this was part 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.960 of the entertainment. Beer was thrown on me, people spit 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.080 on me. It was just surreal. So nobody gets it 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:26.880 this as part of the show. So the whole time 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.760 he's jeered as like the villain, right, he's been treated 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.080 as the heel. So the promoters of the show are 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.840 able to get the two men separated. Right once they 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.760 get Hilderbrandt to safety, what do you think they do? 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.000 They start yelling at him, like why you mess up 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.480 the show? What the hell has runs? So now he's 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.080 getting yelled at by the promoters. Right. Oh, then the 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.400 cops show up. So now on the cops show up 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.080 and they had to do something about this enraged giant 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.640 who was just beating up this helpless camera man as 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.480 the fans cheered on. They're like, what do we do? 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.840 The cops, you know, they get orders from their captain 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.320 back of the station. He's like, Andre the Giant is 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.720 to be arrested on assault and crim little message car. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.240 They don't have the cups for that exactly, So the 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.600 cops they have to go. They find Andre the Giant 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.120 at this point, he is you know, like they're there 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.720 to arrest him, right, So they have to go and 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.600 find him somewhere because he's not on the main stage anymore. 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.920 He's in the back of the stadium. There's a problem 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.600 with the finding him. He's naked, right, So when they 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.720 find him, they find a naked Andre the Giant, all 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.160 five hundred and forty pounds of him, and he's in 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.320 the shower. So now the cops have to stand around 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.160 and wait for him to finish totally, and he gets 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.240 like toweled off and everything, and so once the Giant 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.680 is clothed and his hair is dry, then the cops 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.040 have to arrest him. So one of the arresting officers 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.760 is dude, Sergeant Jerry Potter. He goes and he recalls 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.160 under the Giant's response when the cops tell him, look, 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.640 you're under arrest, he said, I think this is the 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.160 cops off Sergeant Jerry Potter's recollections quote. I don't remember 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.120 his exact words, but he said something like, I'm not 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.680 going anywhere and you're not taking me. Yea, what do 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.880 you do? Exactly? Like, first of all, he's not going 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.560 to fit in the back of a cop car. Oh, 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.440 I have answers for that. So they can't shoot him. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.080 They don't have tasers. What do they do? They have 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:00.800 to ask him nicely to come down to the police 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.240 department on top of the cruiser. Would you please be 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:07.160 arrested with us? So the arresting officer, Sergeant Potter, he says, 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.560 I just explained it to him. You're under arrest. You 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.239 do have to go over to the jail with us, 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.080 but it's not a big problem. Your manager can follow us, 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.440 You'll be released and it won't even take long. They're like, look, 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:20.920 it's not going a big deal. Something something. Princess bry 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.680 just come with us. So eventually they convince Andre to 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.280 the Giant to come along peacefully. But as you pointed out, 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.000 they have no handcuffs are gonna fit his enormous wrists. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.360 So what did they do. They happen to have leg 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.240 shackles from the county jail, so they use leg shackles. 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.000 They pull them out as a real fat. Sergeant Pottery 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.240 tells Andrew the Giant, I'll use them if you make me. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.919 I said it a joking manner, and it got him laughing. 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.520 When Andre starts belly laughing, it seemed like the whole 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.240 room shakes. Yeah, this is huge, dude. They're like, okay, 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.240 now we got the other question you said, which is 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:51.639 how are we going to get them to the station. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.320 So they have to fit them in the car. They 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.359 don't have a car that'll fit them, but they find 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.560 one that doesn't have the partition between the back and 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.520 where the cops sit, so then they go, okay, we'll 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.280 use this. They put him on one side and they 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.720 have as his feet go like over the front seat 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.679 and then over the back seat, so one foot's like 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.520 in the footwell the back seat, the other foots in 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.560 the footwell the front seat. And he's he's got his 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.040 head up against the window and they're able to get 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.680 him to the police station. They didn't a truck, That's 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.199 what I was thinking. I'm on a flatbed. Get the 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.399 wrecker in there, and like, how did he travel around 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.360 like in a bus? I suppose yeah, generally he did 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.119 everything to drive a car. They've shown footage of him 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.840 driving like stuff. It's yeah, top down, do a lot 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.119 of convertibles. You know, He's not driving anything with a 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.119 fixed top. So they eventually get the Giant down there 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:34.600 and they go to book I mean they asked Johndrew 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.720 the Giant for a souvenir while they're booking him because 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.359 his fingers are too big for the fingerprint car. So 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.560 they're using eight by eleven paper to get his fingerprints. Yes, 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.280 so one of the cops like, I get a full 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.399 handprint and you get you to sign it, and he 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.680 slaps him in the face. There's your hand Happily A 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.520 Bige was like, y'all'll ink on his face forever, like 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:57.320 a tattoo the face. So Andre he gets fined one 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.479 hundred dollars for criminal mischief and in order to pay 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.960 two hundred thirty three dollars to Casey RG for their 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.040 news camera. So and also he's not he's judged not 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.040 guilty of assault and everything is happy and Cedar rapids Iowa, 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.800 except for poor Bed and Hilda Brand. Yeah, so I 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.000 hope he's okay. Yeah. Right, let's take a little break 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.880 and I'll be back to ragged all you with some 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.880 more fun facts from the Weird Dudes test Test one 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.880 two three sending a talk rack to ridiculous crime podcasts. 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:51.160 Just in case you were wondering, it's pronounced.

It took every ounce of 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:42.520 my adulting restraint to keep myself from shouting, baring for 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.560 all to hear.

I was taking a walk 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.479
