Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stuff you should know

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: from house Stuff Works dot com? Hey, and welcome to

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. With me is Chuck Bryant.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing sign language. Josh, are you do you do

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: have finger fumblers? Uh? No, but since you brought it up,

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: we have a finger fumbler good blood, bad blood, not

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: to jump the gun that that has nothing to do

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: with this podcast. Can you sign that out for him? Okay,

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: Well to anyone who knows sign language, give good blood,

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: bad blood shot. Oh and that also reminds me Chuck.

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: One of our listeners sent in a I guess a

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: um mind melt rightser size, make a clockwise circle on

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: the floor with your right foot while writing the number

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: six on a pad of paper. I tried it. It

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: is really tough. It made me crazy. Yeah. Things like

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: that really get to Chuck. So Chuck, that's a good

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: thing that we had this little bit of banter, because

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: I had like no introduction whatsoever for this one convenient

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: How about this? Have you ever been in Niagara Falls?

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: I have not? Yeah, no, I haven't. And I even lived,

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, in the north or not the north, the Midwest,

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: but the northern Midwest. It's not too far from Ohio. No,

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: it's not that far, especially Toledo. So um. But yeah,

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: never made it up there. And actually, the the only

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: time I've ever really seen Niagara Falls, um, was on

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: what Superman two where Clark Kent and Lois Lane Honeymoon.

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, that's the only time you've seen

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Niagara Falls. Yeah, that's the most I've seen of it. Yeah,

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: it's not the only time. I don't live in a cave, chuck. Um,

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: So I do know a few things about Niagara Falls.

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: You want me to lay it on you, I will

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: tell you this, Chuck. Every year, Niagara Falls attracts about

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: twelve million visitors, right, it's a huge tourist attractionation now, um,

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: and from what else? From research, I've also found that, Um,

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: if you stand there long enough, somebody's going to go

37
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: in what do you mean, hell on the Niagara River

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: and they're going to go over the falls if you

39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: stand there long enough. And now we may be talking

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: like months years, who knows, but they do pull about

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: twenty bodies out of the bottom of the falls every year. Yeah,

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: sadly it's a it's a suicide destination for for some folks. Yeah,

43
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: and that was just suicide's right. Yeah, but there are

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: a subgroup of humans running around over the last hundred

45
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: or so years who actually go over the falls on purpose.

46
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: That old cliche going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: There's actually a lot of people who have done that,

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: and it's usually a barrel. Yeah, yeah, especially the old

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: timing people. They went over in barrels. All of them,

50
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: oh yeah, all of them modified. And then you know,

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: as we progressed further into the twentieth century, the barrels

52
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: became you know, a little better, a little stronger, but yeah,

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: pretty much all barrels or balls spheres. Sixteen uh, if

54
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, sixteen people have done so from two

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: thousand three, and as far as I could find, the

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: guy who did it in two thousand three was the

57
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: last one. I couldn't find anybody who's tried it more recently. Right,

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: his is the most amazing. But we should probably save that.

59
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: People don't tell it off a little bit. Yeah, we

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: want to, we want to pay it out slowly. So Chuck,

61
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: let's talk about the falls a little bit. How how's

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: your geography terrible? You want me to handle it? Well? No,

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean I can. I can give you a few

64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: facts here and there, but geography as a whole is

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: not my strong suit. All right, we'll give us a

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: few facts here there. Geographically speaking, if you've never been

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: to Niagara Falls, you might think that it's one set

68
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: of falls, and if you've seen the famous photos, but

69
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: is actually three sets of falls, which I'm sure you

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: know Horseshoe Falls, Yeah, that's the Canadian one, right, Uh, yes,

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: the American falls, that's the American American and the lesser

72
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: known and smaller bridal Veil Falls, right. And I know

73
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: you have some good numbers on these. Well, I can

74
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: tell you that this three fall set up that we

75
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: see in Niagara Falls today, or people unlike me who

76
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: go to Niagara Falls see today, Um, it's actually only

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: about five years old. Uh. The the falls actually a

78
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: road these days because they've hit some serious bedrock. They

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: erode backward about four to five ft a year. Yeah

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: that's a lot. It is a lot, but they've eroded

81
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: much much more quickly than that over time. And also

82
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: I should say that the the the entirety of of

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: Niagara Falls is only about fifteen thousand years old. Uh.

84
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: It was the result of the last ice age. At

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: the end of the last ice age. Um. But okay,

86
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: so so it's um eroding backward five five ft a

87
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: year um. And eventually it hit a point and the

88
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: river went down enough, the water flow went lowered enough

89
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: that it hit this island, which split it into two. River.

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: The Niagara River was split into two, and actually there's

91
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: a second smaller island, Luna Island, that split it into

92
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: three and created Bridal Veil Falls. Um. But this island,

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: called Goat Island, is actually named after a herd of

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: hapless goats that froze to death on the island. Um.

95
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: In they belonged to a goat herder named John Steadman,

96
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: and that's why Goat Island is called goat Islands. The

97
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: goats were they no, they were freezing goats. Yeah. So

98
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: that's that's a little bit about Niagara Falls. Oh. I

99
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: should probably give some stats here because I know everybody

100
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: loves stats. Do you have any stats? And now I'm

101
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: usually statman, but the can I take your your role today? Okay, So,

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: Horseshoe Falls is by far the biggest one. UM it's

103
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty seven foot drop. Then it hits

104
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: the made of the miss pool and actually goes down

105
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: about another hundred and eighty feet. So if you plunged

106
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: right down to the maid of the miss pool, UM,

107
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: what is that, that's like almost four hundred feet, right,

108
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: it's quite a bit. That's a significant drop. Um, it's

109
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: a there's a twenty foot brink and the water goes

110
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: over that brink at about six hundred thousand gallons per second.

111
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: It's a lot of water. Yeah, So you know, if

112
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: you went over the falls and survived, you've still got

113
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: this water beating down on you at that kind of rate,

114
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: which you could easily die. And even though um, Horseshoe

115
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Falls is much bigger and there the the water volume

116
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: is is much greater. That's the one that people go over,

117
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: and they go over Niagara Falls because American Falls. UM

118
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: it puts water out about a hundred and fifty thousand

119
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: gallons a second. But the hundred and seventy six ft

120
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: dropped to the bottom about a hundred and six feet

121
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: of that is rock. You dropped seventy ft right on

122
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: this huge tumble of rocks. It's not a good idea

123
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: to go over that one. It's nice to look at.

124
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: It is very pretty, especially bridal bill falls just falling

125
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: in the background, Superman flying around saving people. So um,

126
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: so okay, there are people who go over the falls,

127
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: Chuck and um, do you know much about Daredevil's I

128
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: think is a pretty fair description to these people. Well,

129
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: I wrote an article on daredevils. Was that your article?

130
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: It was? It was a great article. I actually went

131
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: back and referenced that and I saw that there's a

132
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: picture of the first person and you go over the

133
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: falls in your article, right? Who was a woman? Yeah?

134
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: And Edison Taylor. But backtracking again, we're saving our anecdotes

135
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: of the people who went over So yeah, we're talking

136
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: about Daredevil's right, right, what about that one's study? Which

137
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: one the one with the testosterone? Oh right, yeah, Daredevil's

138
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: have a uh what is it? A higher level of

139
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: testosterone but a lower level of um satisfaction. I looked

140
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: it up. Serotonin. Uh, and it's serotonin one of the

141
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: things that does It's a neurotransmitter and UM it ecks

142
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: the curb impulsiveness. So apparently high levels of testosterone and

143
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: low levels of you know, a neurotransmitter that curbs impulsiveness

144
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: equals daredevil. Right. So that's one explanation. Another explanation is

145
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: found actually in some poor lab mice who had the

146
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: UM the staffman gene bread out of them, the infamous

147
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: staffman gene. Yeah, it was about to be infamous. Um.

148
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: This gene produces a protein right that allows UM nerve

149
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: cells to UH to communicate with one another in the amygdala,

150
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: and the amygdala is known to UM allow us to

151
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: form fear memories. Memories from fear a version like put

152
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: your hand on a hot oven. Your amygdala is going

153
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, we can't do that again. Some

154
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: hot stove is what they generally say. But a hot

155
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: ovens bad too. Okay, hot oven, hot stove, I know

156
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: what you mean. UM. So the so these mice are

157
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: they were actually called in this article rather sensationally UM

158
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: daredevil mice. They they showed no kinds of traditional mice fear.

159
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: They explored open spaces, UM, they really didn't have much

160
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: of an aversion to receiving electric shocks. Basically, these mice

161
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: are leading a pretty hard life. I think up at

162
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: Cornella Rutgers, right, and I know that daredevil's often say

163
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: that they don't fear things like most people do. So

164
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: it's not like they're just overcoming this thing and they

165
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: just have to jump off of out of the plane.

166
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: They really it just doesn't affect them, which I can't

167
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: even begin to conceive of that. I have a little

168
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: bit of that to me. I used to repel and yeah,

169
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but there was a little bit of

170
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: fear involved. But I was one of those that was

171
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: overcoming the fear as opposed to yeah, you're a self

172
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: actualized person. I was all right, well, Chuck, let's meet

173
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: some of the idiots. You've gone over Niagara Falls. Yes,

174
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: And at this point, as our attorneys would be so pleased,

175
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: I will say that you should certainly never ever ever

176
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: try to do this because it's very easy to die

177
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: trying this as a stunt. Conscientious and self Actually, I

178
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: think the fact that sixteen people have gone over, eleven

179
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: of which have survived. In the nine years two people

180
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: went over and survived twice, correct, which but five people died,

181
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, and horribly too. We'll get to some of

182
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: those guys, right, So why don't we start at the beginning.

183
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: The first person to go over Niagara Falls on purpose,

184
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: as you said, was a woman Annie Edson Taylor in

185
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: one right, Yeah, which is pretty funny to think about

186
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: way back then. But yeah, she did this actually on

187
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: purpose as a stunt to try and make money. Yeah,

188
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: fame and fortune is pretty much the dominant reason people

189
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: have for um going over the faults, right, right, And

190
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: she was sixty three at the time, spinster. Yeah, she

191
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: didn't use listerine. She claims she was forty three and

192
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: got away with that, so she must have been in

193
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: pretty decent shape. But she packed a pickle barrel with

194
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: a made it air tight and packed it with pillows

195
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: and and stuffed herself in there and made it over,

196
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: survived and did not make a lot of money off

197
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: of it. She was she was smart enough to um

198
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: compress air to make it buoyant. And um she also

199
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: took her cat with her, Yeah, and they both lived. Yeah.

200
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: I guy took his turtle later on to someone else.

201
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: We'll get to him, sonny boy. Um, But yeah, she

202
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: went over. She and the cat made it. But yeah,

203
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: the fortune and fame that she saw it was elusive

204
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: she found and penniless, which is just sad. Yeah, I

205
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: don't like that term. Though, no one's penniless. I'm sure

206
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: someone does. But did she really not have a penny?

207
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Come on, I don't know, I mean openny and not

208
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: teno one? Was? That's a lot? You know, they should

209
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: just say she died poor. Okay, that's just a personal

210
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: piece or broke, yeah, busted, Well her barrel busted. Okay,

211
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: So who's up next? Um, let's see, how about well

212
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: the first man was ten years later, Bobby Leech. Yeah,

213
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: he's kind of a stunt man, right, Yeah, he's a

214
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: circus guy. And uh, July nineteen eleven, he got into

215
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: a steel barrel and uh floated, you know, eighteen minutes

216
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: downstream and went over and survived. He broke both his

217
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: jaw and both of his kneecaps and spent six months

218
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: in the hospital. Not fun, No, But the the horrible

219
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: ironic twist to Mr Leach's life is that fifteen years

220
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: later he slipped on an orange peel, broke his leg,

221
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: it became infected, it was amputated, and two months later

222
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: he was dead of complications ultimately from slipping on an

223
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: orange peel. Right, and if that had been been an appeal,

224
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: it would be a three Stooges episode would have been

225
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: just painful to read, right it was. So he lived

226
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: but perished in a odd accident, which is interesting. You

227
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: know me check, I have um some fairly grizzly tastes,

228
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: all right. Um, So I think the guy with the

229
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: coolest death of the Niagara Falls tragedies was Charles Stevens.

230
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: He went over in Actually haven't heard this guy, so

231
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: you haven't laid on you. Um. He went over in

232
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: an oak barrel, all right. Uh. And it wasn't modified

233
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: or reinforced in any way, but he modified the interior.

234
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: He had an anvil at the bottom serves ballast so

235
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: it would stay upright. Um. And he had his feet

236
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: strapped to the anvil for some reason. Um. And uh,

237
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: he had arm straps inside the barrel, so he was

238
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: his arms were in there he he went over. Um.

239
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: Apparently when he hit the bottom, the anvil broke through

240
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: the bottom of the barrel and dragged him down with it.

241
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 1: And all they ever found of Mr Stevens was his

242
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: arm still in the arm strap inside. He was left

243
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: of the oak barrel. I kid, do not planning. Yeah,

244
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: that's yeah, it was. It actually was his his whole

245
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: his whole stunt was racked with poor planning other people

246
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: who had already gone over, um, and who who lived

247
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: around the river. And we're kind of old sea dogs. Um,

248
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: we're begging the guy to um, you know, test it out,

249
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: give it a try, reinforce it. Um, just do take

250
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: all these extra precautinus. He just wouldn't do it. So

251
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: as soon as you said he had an anvil in

252
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the bottom, I kind of foresaw that coming, Yeah, Josh.

253
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Another one that I thought was really sad um that

254
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: parish was George Status in nineteen thirty. He is what

255
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: Peter Tosh would call him mystic man. Yes, he was

256
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: chef in New York. He went over with his pet turtle.

257
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: Sunny Boys talked about a hundred year old turtle named

258
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: sunny Boy, supposedly, and Um, this one's really sad because

259
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: he actually went over, perhaps successfully, and was stuck behind

260
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: the curtain of water and eighteen hours and no one

261
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: could get to him. And they don't know for sure

262
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: whether he survived the fall. But if he did, that

263
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: means he spent um, you know, three to eight hours

264
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: is all the air he had and he actually perhaps

265
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: suffocated suffocated. What I took from it was that they

266
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: examined him and found that yeah, he he most likely

267
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: had suffocated, but the turtle made it. Yeah, sunny Boy

268
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: made it. And the whole reason Mr Stapa Kiss took

269
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: Sonny boy Um was so that if he died, Sunny

270
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: Boy could tell the tale. And Sunny Boy never really

271
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: said anything talking turtle. I think that says at all

272
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: mystic man. Do you want me to do another one? Okay?

273
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: I love this guy, Nathan Boya. He's the first African

274
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: American to go over, and he was also he kind

275
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: of bucked the trend of fame and fortune. Uh. The

276
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: reason Mr Boya went over was because it was something

277
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: he just had to do. He felt he had to do. Really,

278
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: that's what he said. Yeah. So he goes over in

279
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one, and this guy was pretty sharp. He

280
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: took an oxygen tank with him filled with thirty hour

281
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: is of air. Um. I believe he had a rebreather

282
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: and he went over in a h I think it

283
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: was a metal ball. He dubbed the Plunge of Sphere. Right,

284
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: he did have a rebreather which removes carbon dioxide. Yeah,

285
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: it's like scuba exactly. Yeah. So Um, he went over

286
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: in the falls. He went over the falls. Uh he Um.

287
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: He was successful. I think he got a little banged up,

288
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: but not not too much. And he was also the

289
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: first person to be fined for breaking a law that

290
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: was enacted um a couple of years earlier after another

291
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: guy died. Um that it's that makes it that made

292
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: it illegal to go over Niagara Falls on purpose. So

293
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: he paid a hundred bucks, which in two thousand eight

294
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: dollars I looked up with seven five and today's dollars. Yes,

295
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: as a find. But he was the first one to

296
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: ever be fined for doing it, because I believe the

297
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: find today is ten grand or more, yeah or more. Yeah.

298
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: And it's performing a stunt without a license. Is that

299
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: what it is? Yeah? And they've never given a license

300
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: to anybody to do it, which it just seems like

301
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: a bad idea because that's a lawsuit right there. Um.

302
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Do you want to skip ahead to the most recent

303
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: and most amazing or did you have another one? You? Well,

304
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: we can go back. Where do we have to do

305
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: it chronologically? No, we don't. I want to talk about

306
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: the most recent two thousand three. Well, let's do it,

307
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: because this guy went over without anything, and he's the

308
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: only person known to go in on purpose without any

309
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: kind of flotation, no barrel, no nothing, just close on

310
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: his back. And there's been speculation over the years whether

311
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: or not he was suicidal or um wanted fame and fortune.

312
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: He apparently said that he was in fact depressed for years,

313
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: and his friends came out later and said, yeah, he

314
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: talked about trying to commit suicide, and so when he

315
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: went to Nagre, he literally stood on the other side

316
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: of the rail and was contemplating it, and a woman

317
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: behind him, who he did not know, sarcastically said, so,

318
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Jump? And he said, yes, ma'am,

319
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: I think I will. And he did so, and he

320
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: jumped in, and just a few moments later plunged over

321
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: a horseshoe falls and said that it felt like I

322
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: was being swallowed by a living organism. I was flying

323
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: straight down at a tremendous speed, and the force was

324
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: so great I thought it would rip my head off.

325
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: Then it became dark, my ears popped, and I was

326
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: trapped under forty ft of water. Was beating the living

327
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: heck out of me. No, he didn't, and I couldn't

328
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: even get to the surface, and I remember thinking, well, Niagara,

329
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: I think you've beaten me. And he said, then he

330
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: was pushed forward and felt the sun on his face.

331
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: What's the guy's name, Kirk Jones? Cool? So Kirk survived.

332
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: He told a story to Outside magazine among others, and

333
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: um apparently said it filled them with the will to live.

334
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: So I would imagine, so good for him, kind of

335
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: like surviving a plane crash. Right, yeah, exactly, except not

336
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: quite well yeah, maybe the same, you know, part of

337
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: the brain, Yeah, I think so. So, okay, can we

338
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: go back one because there was one other one favorite mentioned? Um, okay,

339
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: so can we go back? And can I do one

340
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: more venture back in time? Sure, we'll go back to

341
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: heady days at the end of the Reagan era, my

342
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: junior year in high school when still wow, really, I

343
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: know you're always marveled at my like five years older

344
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: than you get over. Okay, alright, sorry, um so. So

345
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: it was the end of the Reagan era, but Nancy

346
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: Reagan's influence was still very clearly um imprinted upon the

347
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: National psyche. In particular, two guys named Peter Debon Hardi

348
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Petkevich, right, and they decided that they were

349
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: going to go over the falls in a barrel, and

350
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: um they did, and I think a ten ft long

351
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: metal barrel that was completely enclosed. And the reason that

352
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: they wanted to do this was because they wanted to

353
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: make a statement against drugs. And if you look at

354
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: their barrel, there's a picture of it in the article,

355
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: it says drugs kill, right, So what they're what they're

356
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: saying clearly is that it's your it's smarter to go

357
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: over Niagara Falls in a barrel than it is to

358
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: do rugs. The problem is is that's just wholly untrue,

359
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: which is why there's a two million illicit drug users

360
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: worldwide and only sixteen people who've ever gone over the

361
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: ragor falls on purpose and were surely endorsing anything. But yeah,

362
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: going over the falls in a barrel is virtual suicide.

363
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: It is that kind of struck me. That reminded me.

364
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: Actually there was the other guy that was trying to

365
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: raise awareness for the homeless. Yeah, what was that. Yeah,

366
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: he went over in a jet ski and the plan

367
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: was to leap off the jet ski and his he

368
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: had a rocket parachute that was going to open. But

369
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: there was some kind of malfunction and he died. I'd

370
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: say the worst of all was Jesse Sharpe. He didn't

371
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: even have a parachute, and he didn't wear a helmet,

372
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: and he didn't wear a life preserver, and he went

373
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: over in a kayak on purpose because he wanted a

374
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: job in the stunt industry. So I feel very badly

375
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: for Jesse's family. Yeah he perished, Oh yeah as well. Yeah.

376
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: I think they found his kayak and that was it, right,

377
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: So I think the lesson the takeaway, Josh is uh, daredevil,

378
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: legitimate business. Uh, going over the falls in a barrel

379
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: not a good idea? No, And and stay off drugs kids,

380
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: So chuck Audible dot com time, Yeah, our sponsors, and

381
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: then maybe a little listener mail. Can we can go

382
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: to that very special listener mail I'm looking forward to

383
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: And that means it's time for listener mail, not only

384
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: listener mail, Josh, this is hi Ku theater, you know,

385
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: Can we get a special Hiku theater sound effect? Wellbviously,

386
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: I bet it's in there by the time we listen

387
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: to this. I have seven high kus and they're short

388
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: because they're high cous and we get them from our listeners.

389
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're in the form of corrections. Sometimes they're just

390
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: pool hikus. Okay. Uh. This one was related to the

391
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: Airprane Airprane airplane crash from Sarah and Loan, which I liked. Hello,

Speaker 1: the front of your body or the rear of your body? Again?

395
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: It comes back to fight club a lot. That's right, Uh,

396
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: workplace boredom. I will follow this under that one finger

00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: he deserves a T shirt. I agreed, Timothy. Send us

418
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: today by Eric Jones of Maryland. And Eric just hiked

419
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: the entirety of the Appalachian Trail and we actually conversed

420
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: a bit today, uh via email, sent pictures. I'm a

421
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: hiker myself, so we kind of wrapped back and forth

422
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: about his experience, and he seems like a very cool guy.

423
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: So he wrote us a little hiku story about hiking

424
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: the eight team. So here it is two thousand and eight.
