Speaker 1: Mother Knows Dad, starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi. Everyone.
Speaker 1: Welcome to this week's six Shocking Stories. Let's get into
Speaker 1: our first story. Okay, so the seven year old boy
Speaker 1: started having abdominal pain. He was having constipation, and he
Speaker 1: was puking for about four days. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: kind of a long time to be having symptoms like that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, after a couple of days, his doctor gave
Speaker 1: him some constipation beds, but the pain kept getting worse,
Speaker 1: so finally his parents took him to the emergency room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think this story is a little bit irresponsible. I
Speaker 1: don't know where this person was treated, but for especially
Speaker 1: for a child that has constipation and is just not
Speaker 1: pooping and also is vomiting, that's a clear tell sign
Speaker 1: that something is terribly wrong. And I don't know why
Speaker 1: what doctor would ever give constipation medicine in that situation.
Speaker 1: But what happened was they did imaging and stuff, and
Speaker 1: they discovered that he had something stuck inside of his bells,
Speaker 1: and they said that they monitored him even longer to
Speaker 1: see I don't I absolutely don't know why, but whatever
Speaker 1: the case is, they finally decided to open them up
Speaker 1: to look inside to see what was in his intestines,
Speaker 1: and they found that there was this really hard kind
Speaker 1: of mass. Definitely it was some kind of foreign body
Speaker 1: within his intestines. And Maria, you want to tell them
Speaker 1: what it was? A doll head, Yes, like like a
Speaker 1: Barbie doll head actually in his in his little intestines.
Speaker 1: So what is he just swallow it and then the
Speaker 1: whole and then it just makes its way all the
Speaker 1: way down and gets stuff. Yeah, so point somehow he
Speaker 1: swallowed it whole. It didn't look like it. It looked
Speaker 1: like like crazy Barbie or what's that one called weird Barbie.
Speaker 1: The hair is cut off, you know. So yeah, but
Speaker 1: this is the telltale sign for any parent that's listening,
Speaker 1: or physicians, anything like this. And it's especially you could
Speaker 1: even say it about animals too, right, or just like
Speaker 1: a younger person or even a person that just can't
Speaker 1: communicate properly what happened. Anytime things aren't coming out of
Speaker 1: the butt and they're coming out of the mouth, it
Speaker 1: means that something stuck. So every time this boy was eating,
Speaker 1: it would come right back up because it had nowhere
Speaker 1: to go, and he wasn't pooping because it wasn't getting
Speaker 1: past the barbie doll head. So once he was done
Speaker 1: his final meals, you know, before he got that thing stuck,
Speaker 1: it's not that's why nothing's coming out. So it's not
Speaker 1: really that he's constipated. It's just that there's no more
Speaker 1: poop left because it's all not going through his gi track.
Speaker 1: I mean, so this could have been really bad, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, this could have been really bad. And when
Speaker 1: you look at the photos, so what what was this
Speaker 1: one called in the grosser room. This one's called headstuck. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's called headstuck. So when you look at the
Speaker 1: photos in the grosser room, the small intestine, it's the
Speaker 1: lining of it looks so thinned out and stretched out
Speaker 1: over this barbie doll head that you could actually see
Speaker 1: the barbie doll head kind of through the boll. It's
Speaker 1: it's crazy. So think about that that, Like, it's so
Speaker 1: it's so see through and so thin that if that ruptured,
Speaker 1: I mean, he could have died from that. And that's
Speaker 1: why it's just weird to me to think that any
Speaker 1: single doctor would have heard a child was vomiting for daism,
Speaker 1: wasn't pooping and didn't think this was an emergency situation
Speaker 1: at first. Yeah, that is really weird, but like, luckily
Speaker 1: he survived in this case, so yeah, that's good. And
Speaker 1: don't forget guys. Now that we have our newsletter that
Speaker 1: comes out every week, you can sign up. I link
Speaker 1: it in the description of every episode. We're gonna link
Speaker 1: every story we talk about, so you guys could easily
Speaker 1: find them in the grosser room. Yeah, because the stories
Speaker 1: are outrageous. But then you have to see the pictures
Speaker 1: too to get the full picture of really how outrageous
Speaker 1: it is. Well, especially some pictures coming up later in
Speaker 1: the episode though, oh my god, absolutely have to see.
Speaker 1: All right, this next story is called Big Dead. So
Speaker 1: this forty two year old woman was found dead at
Speaker 1: the bottom of her staircase. It appeared to be an accident,
Speaker 1: but of course you have to look into it. I
Speaker 1: mean this immediately just reminded me of the infamous true
Speaker 1: crime case, the Staircase, and how they you know, they
Speaker 1: couldn't determine how the woman Kathleen Peterson had really died.
Speaker 1: They were like, did she fall? Did somebody push her?
Speaker 1: There was even this theory floating around that an owl
Speaker 1: grabbed her head and ripped these giants. That was the
Speaker 1: most outrageous one. There's a bunch of ol theorists out there,
Speaker 1: but I don't think anybody could have thought of this one.
Speaker 1: We actually didn't. We do like a two part death
Speaker 1: dissection on that case and went through every plausible scenario.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember it because I didn't watch the
Speaker 1: documentary like you did, and we wrote about that's like
Speaker 1: a year or two ago, but I remember that I
Speaker 1: went through every single one and was like, this is
Speaker 1: why it couldn't have happened, this is what probably happened,
Speaker 1: and things like that. Oh yeah, so no, So for
Speaker 1: this case, they're, you know, they have to look into
Speaker 1: what happened and what did they see at her autopsy.
Speaker 1: So they do the autopsy, and the first thing that
Speaker 1: anybody assumes is like, okay, a woman's found that at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the steps, so that that's what we're
Speaker 1: kind of thinking happened here, right, The story makes sense everything,
Speaker 1: And she does have a gash on her head. She
Speaker 1: has like a laceration on her head with some bruising,
Speaker 1: and they open her up and she has a mild
Speaker 1: a brain bleed, but it kind of wasn't enough that
Speaker 1: it would have killed her probably, so they're just kind
Speaker 1: of looking around like okay, So on the external exam
Speaker 1: when they were looking at her, they noticed that she
Speaker 1: had these pinpoint particual hemorrhages inside of her eyes, which
Speaker 1: are very specific to asphyxial deaths. So if you get
Speaker 1: choked or smothered or something like that and it but
Speaker 1: you don't have to see them in those deaths, but
Speaker 1: they're unusual and you might have had them sometimes, especially
Speaker 1: if you've ever thrown up or vomited. You ever see
Speaker 1: you get those little red dots on your face like
Speaker 1: broken blood vessel things. Yeah, so there are particular hemorrhages,
Speaker 1: and they happened because it's really when somebody is having
Speaker 1: a hard time breathing but they're still trying to make
Speaker 1: breaths and the pressure that goes on causes the little
Speaker 1: tiny capillaries at the end of the veins to kind
Speaker 1: of break open and like break a blood vessel basically,
Speaker 1: but they're you probably wouldn't see something like that if
Speaker 1: she just fell and hit her head. So it just
Speaker 1: alarmed the person that was doing the autopsy, and so
Speaker 1: they're doing the autopsy they take out all her organ stuff,
Speaker 1: and they open up her throat where it's just her larynx, right,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of your Adam's apple area or your
Speaker 1: voice box, all of that, and they open it up,
Speaker 1: and they were shocked what they found lodged inside of there,
Speaker 1: because there shouldn't be anything in there. What did they
Speaker 1: find in there? A giant wad of gum. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: giant wad of chewing gum. So they they determined that
Speaker 1: her cause of death, her manner of death was accidental,
Speaker 1: but her cause of death was from asphyxia, not from
Speaker 1: the fall. And they think that what happened was she
Speaker 1: was walking down the steps and she fell, and so
Speaker 1: the fall made her knock over, but she was grasping
Speaker 1: for breath, and that the chewing gum got lodged in
Speaker 1: her throat like as she fell. Oh my god, Like
Speaker 1: talk about a freak accident. And how much like how
Speaker 1: often are you just like walking around just chewing gum
Speaker 1: like the amy all the time? Our family or really
Speaker 1: our whole family's super into chewing gum all the time,
Speaker 1: and I certainly will just keep layering it together. And
Speaker 1: now I'm like, how dangerous is this? You know what
Speaker 1: I just was thinking about post. I don't remember what
Speaker 1: it is that I wrote in the gross room fairly
Speaker 1: recently as well, with a similar situation that there was
Speaker 1: a car accident and when they did the autopsy, the
Speaker 1: person had a giant wat of gum lodged in their
Speaker 1: throat as well, and they were wondering if there's all
Speaker 1: these different scenarios, like was he choking on the gum
Speaker 1: and then he crashed the car? Did he crash the
Speaker 1: car and it got stuck while he crashed, Like what
Speaker 1: caused the thing to cause the crash? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? So I don't remember what that one was called,
Speaker 1: but it happens. You hear about it sometimes. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just really disturbing. I mean we're talking about this all
Speaker 1: the time, Like how at the Midor Museum they used
Speaker 1: to have a drawer full of stuff, like especially women
Speaker 1: and me in particular. I was putting my embroidery needles
Speaker 1: in my mouth a lot while I was relooping, and
Speaker 1: then I was like, this is really dangerous. That has
Speaker 1: to stop doing. I was just doing it this weekend.
Speaker 1: I was hanging up basket like hooks out on my porch.
Speaker 1: So I could do the hanging baskets, and I'm standing
Speaker 1: on the ladder and it's like I have a drill
Speaker 1: in one hand and my hand's holding the ladder in
Speaker 1: the other hand, and I have a screw in my mouth.
Speaker 1: And the whole time I just kept thinking like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm gonna fall off this ladder and like this,
Speaker 1: this screw is going to go down my throat right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you can't end up being one of our own stories.
Speaker 1: I know it is my It is my biggest fear
Speaker 1: to be embarrassed by something like that. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: so let's get onto this next. One years ago, this
Speaker 1: thirty five year old woman from Kansas was at her
Speaker 1: boyfriend's house and went into the bathroom. He noticed that
Speaker 1: she was in there for a little while, but eventually
Speaker 1: she came out, so he didn't think too much in it.
Speaker 1: And then over time he noticed every time the girlfriend
Speaker 1: went in the bathroom, she would stay in there a
Speaker 1: little longer each time. Eventually she got to the point
Speaker 1: where she wouldn't leave the bathroom at all, but more
Speaker 1: specifically the toilet. Yeah, so it's it's this is such
Speaker 1: a crazy story. So I guess that she had this
Speaker 1: history of sexual abuse as a child, and she felt
Speaker 1: that that was like her safe space, so she wanted
Speaker 1: to stay in there all the time. And he thought,
Speaker 1: I mean, at first, he said, he thought it was
Speaker 1: a little unusual, but she always felt more comfortable to
Speaker 1: be in there. And then he just said, over the
Speaker 1: months and years, it just it became normal to him too,
Speaker 1: that she wanted to be in there all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And they said basically like life resumed as normal, Like
Speaker 1: he would go in there and they would have their
Speaker 1: normal conversations. He would bring her food in there. She
Speaker 1: at some point was bathing and changing her clothes, but
Speaker 1: I think that just seemed to stop as well. And then,
Speaker 1: you know, it just went on so long and got
Speaker 1: so severe that eventually he had to call the police.
Speaker 1: And what did they find when they got there. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. So the paramedics showed up and she was
Speaker 1: her She was sitting on the toilet and her legs
Speaker 1: appeared atrophy. And that's what happens if you don't use
Speaker 1: your muscles, they just become smaller and weaker. You could
Speaker 1: tell when people haven't been walking for quite some time,
Speaker 1: and they were literally not able to get her off
Speaker 1: of the toilet seat. She was stuck to the toilet
Speaker 1: seat because her skin and soft tissue started growing around
Speaker 1: the seat. I don't even like when we first read
Speaker 1: this story, it just seemed so made up to me, like,
Speaker 1: how does that even happen? Well, if you think about this,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of cases, especially where you have people
Speaker 1: that are wearing wedding rings that are too tight for
Speaker 1: an extended period of time to years and stuff, and
Speaker 1: then their skin grows over the entire wedding ring. Because
Speaker 1: that's not insane, No, it is. I actually, I just
Speaker 1: there's a ton of pictures of it, and I just thought, like,
Speaker 1: I never even posted any of this in the grocerroom,
Speaker 1: so I'll do that this week too. But it just
Speaker 1: looks really crazy. It It looks like sometimes it looks
Speaker 1: like someone glued a rhinestone on someone's hand because the
Speaker 1: rest of it is embedded in their skin underneath. Because
Speaker 1: it's from the chronic irritation. And when you're sitting on
Speaker 1: the toilet, you're putting pressure on your skin and your
Speaker 1: bones of your pelvis, and you can create pressure sores
Speaker 1: just like you would get if you were bed ridden, right,
Speaker 1: And that's why it's so important, especially when people are
Speaker 1: in eldercare, or people that just are handicapped and not
Speaker 1: able to move and they're bed ridden, or they are
Speaker 1: mostly bed ridden and they already can't get up by themselves,
Speaker 1: it's important that they always have somebody to make sure
Speaker 1: they're getting up because you could get really bad ulceryations
Speaker 1: and those can become infectious. I mean, just think about
Speaker 1: like if you have a really bloody scab and you
Speaker 1: put a bandage or on or something like, it sticks
Speaker 1: to it, right. Yeah, So it's just a combination of
Speaker 1: all that, like the chronic irritation from having that foreign
Speaker 1: thing stuck to your skin for such a long time.
Speaker 1: And I guess if she was sitting there and just
Speaker 1: had someone bringing her meals and she could go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom right there, Like, I guess it's possible. It
Speaker 1: just seems so outrageous. So the paramedics had to cut
Speaker 1: the toilet seat off and bring her to the hospital
Speaker 1: with the toilet seats still attached to her. I don't
Speaker 1: know the extent of what it really was that was sticking.
Speaker 1: Did she just have a sowre that had a lot
Speaker 1: of scabs that was like dried up, bloody crust stuck
Speaker 1: to it, or was it that her skin was actually
Speaker 1: starting to grow around the farign object. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: It's just really sad, you know that she mentally is
Speaker 1: even going through this, and to the point where her
Speaker 1: significant other also thinks turns into normal behavior, you know. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, in the articles I've read, it seems like
Speaker 1: a lot of people were like kind of blaming the
Speaker 1: boyfriend for this happening. But I don't know, what do
Speaker 1: you think about it? I don't know, because like I
Speaker 1: read something that there was questions of whether he should
Speaker 1: have criminal charges or not. And I don't necessarily agree
Speaker 1: with that. I just I don't know. And he made
Speaker 1: the statement that she was a grown adult and she
Speaker 1: chose to do that. I guess they I definitely think
Speaker 1: that they should look into it because this is a
Speaker 1: very weird situation. Yeah, I mean, and he said that
Speaker 1: he would try to talk her every day into leaving,
Speaker 1: and she would say maybe tomorrow. And I think, I mean,
Speaker 1: two years is a really long time for this to
Speaker 1: go on. But I think there's this fear of you know,
Speaker 1: this is happening in your house and you're trying to
Speaker 1: address it within your own family and not let it
Speaker 1: get out, and then it just starts getting worse and
Speaker 1: worse and worse, and you don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: And then maybe he was scared that she would be
Speaker 1: admitted to the some type of facility or something like.
Speaker 1: You just don't know what's going through people's heads when
Speaker 1: they don't take care of stuff. Do you imagine if
Speaker 1: you found out that that was like your next door
Speaker 1: neighbor and there was a person that was sitting glued
Speaker 1: to their toilet, like no, I mean, I really go outageous.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy how people live. Sometimes you just think that,
Speaker 1: like this is this went on in a person's life,
Speaker 1: but can you can you only blame him though, because
Speaker 1: nobody else in her life was like where is she?
Speaker 1: Other people? I mean maybe she maybe she just if
Speaker 1: she didn't go to work and stuff didn't Someone of
Speaker 1: her neighbors were interviewed and said, like they knew her
Speaker 1: when she was a child, but they haven't seen her
Speaker 1: in years, Like it's just like everybody's checked out. Like
Speaker 1: if you just, I mean think about this. I was
Speaker 1: thinking about this, this guy that lives behind us, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: he used to I used to see him all the time.
Speaker 1: He had a dog and he was walking his dog around, right,
Speaker 1: and I said, Hi, what's up whatever, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: that dude in years. Like I just assumed, Oh, I
Speaker 1: guess he died. I don't know, he's older, right. But
Speaker 1: then like one of my neighbors was like, no, I
Speaker 1: think like his dog died and he's just old and
Speaker 1: he doesn't walk around anymore. And I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Like I don't. I don't because they live
Speaker 1: like behind us. I don't talk to people back there.
Speaker 1: I just used to stay hi if he was walking by,
Speaker 1: you know. But like that's the thing, like people like
Speaker 1: I'm worried about my own life over here. I'm not
Speaker 1: like trying to monitor all of the people in my
Speaker 1: neighborhood and what they're doing and shit. You know, like,
Speaker 1: well there's quite a bit of neighborhood busybodies where I live.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure if something weird was going on, they
Speaker 1: would tell everybody about it, because you know, everybody's business.
Speaker 1: My immediate block is like that, Like it's just kind
Speaker 1: of like one of your is one of your is
Speaker 1: one of your light bulbs out or something, But you
Speaker 1: know that that's that's all good because I like that actually,
Speaker 1: but as you know, all these peripheral people, you're just
Speaker 1: kind of like you can't pay attention to what people
Speaker 1: are doing. So this also proves my point that pedophiles
Speaker 1: should go to jail or have the same charges as
Speaker 1: murderers be because think about this, even though this action
Speaker 1: happened to her when she was a little kid, she
Speaker 1: clearly has lifelong damage from it. Oh yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people look at the
Speaker 1: psychological effects long term of people that go through things
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, it's it's terribly sad. The whole story
Speaker 1: is terribly sad. No, it really is. This episode is
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Gross Room. So most of
Speaker 1: the stories that we share on let me say this slowly,
Speaker 1: six shocking stories. We totally made the worst name ever
Speaker 1: for this because it's impossible to say it's straight, but
Speaker 1: we cover most of them here on this podcast. So
Speaker 1: you can go to the Grossroom and see all of
Speaker 1: these cases that we talk about because these stories are outrageous,
Speaker 1: but the pictures that go along with them are also outrageous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys can visit the Grossroom Dot com for more
Speaker 1: info and to sign up for only five ninety nine
Speaker 1: for the month. Okay, this next one is definitely worth
Speaker 1: looking in the gross room at the pictures because it's
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable. It's called permanent boner. I don't think you're
Speaker 1: gonna see where this one's going. All right, So do
Speaker 1: you want why don't you get started with this guy's history?
Speaker 1: All right? So he's a fifty two year old male.
Speaker 1: He had penile cancer and that required an amputation of
Speaker 1: the head of his penis. So after removing the cancer,
Speaker 1: the next phase of the treatment was having penile reconstruction.
Speaker 1: So can you explain how that typically works? So he's
Speaker 1: went once he got the head of his penis amputated,
Speaker 1: he actually got a little bit more than the head amputated.
Speaker 1: There was only three centimeters left, about one inch, so
Speaker 1: he just had a little stump there. But with that stump,
Speaker 1: he has his urethras still there, so he's still able
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom normally. Right. So what they
Speaker 1: have to do is create a penis, and sometimes they'll
Speaker 1: take tissue from either the leg or the arm and
Speaker 1: they'll make they'll make a penis out of that and
Speaker 1: then they'll reattach it to his penile stump, and they
Speaker 1: have to let that heel for about a year before
Speaker 1: they put in a penile implant, which would give him
Speaker 1: the ability to have erections and have sex again. And obviously,
Speaker 1: like you've already been through a lot of trauma, you
Speaker 1: had diagnosed with cancers, terrible, having to get your penis
Speaker 1: cut off as terrible. You know, sometimes you were in
Speaker 1: a relationship with somebody, so it's terrible for them too.
Speaker 1: So just to have to wait all that time in
Speaker 1: between surgeries, it can be a lot for a person.
Speaker 1: So they decided that they were going to take an
Speaker 1: extreme measure to try to shorten the time of this procedure.
Speaker 1: So tell them what they did. So they decided they
Speaker 1: were going to amputate his middle finger and use that
Speaker 1: to create a new penis for him. Yeah, so this
Speaker 1: guy seriously got his middle finger amputated off his hand,
Speaker 1: on his non dominant hand, by the way, and they
Speaker 1: were able to take skin from that finger and make
Speaker 1: a fake urethra. And then they were able to take
Speaker 1: skin from his arm, which is called a radial flap.
Speaker 1: It's like right from your forearm there. So they took
Speaker 1: the bone from his finger, the fake urethra they made
Speaker 1: with the skin, and then they wrapped it up with
Speaker 1: his skin from his forearm and created a penis. They
Speaker 1: attached it to his penile stump, and you will not believe.
Speaker 1: Within twelve days he was urinating out of this stump,
Speaker 1: and within a month he was having sex with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's absolutely crazy. I mean, I think this
Speaker 1: is really innovative, right, I mean, could this work for everybody?
Speaker 1: Or no? Or you have to be willing to lose
Speaker 1: a finger. I don't know, because I was thinking, God,
Speaker 1: I've never heard this, and then I saw that they
Speaker 1: followed him for ten years and he had no complications.
Speaker 1: And it's really crazy because they did an X ray
Speaker 1: and he has a bone in his penis, multiple bones
Speaker 1: from his finger. It looks like there's a finger in
Speaker 1: his penis, which a normal human doesn't have bones in
Speaker 1: their penis. So it seemed I mean, listen, like cutting
Speaker 1: off your finger is pretty extreme. Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But I'm just saying, it's like maybe it's
Speaker 1: just frowned upon like that. I don't know that, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like that would be a hard
Speaker 1: decision for someone to make especially because I mean, in theory,
Speaker 1: he's got this stump of a penis, so he may
Speaker 1: have some sensation to it, but I don't even think so,
Speaker 1: because of having the surgery from the cancer and everything
Speaker 1: like that whole entire thing is is more than likely
Speaker 1: done for his partner just to be able to physically
Speaker 1: up sex because he's not getting anything out of that
Speaker 1: as far as that stimulation's concerned. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: you could do like anal stimulation at the same time
Speaker 1: and everything, but like it's just not the same for
Speaker 1: him as it was, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: So I have a question for you. So how are
Speaker 1: they How are they determining the middle finger is the
Speaker 1: best one to go? Is that theoretically I guess one, Well,
Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna ask. Is that like a
Speaker 1: length or is it theoretically just the best finger to
Speaker 1: lose if you were gonna choose because it's the least debilitating.
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it probably is because when you
Speaker 1: look at his hand after the surgery, you're kind of
Speaker 1: like it's almost like you got to do a double
Speaker 1: take and be like, wait, is there one missing? Let
Speaker 1: me count all these, it's just like not as obvious
Speaker 1: and it probably you know when you want to grip
Speaker 1: things and stuff you would need like your pinky and
Speaker 1: your and your thumb. Like it's just it's probably like
Speaker 1: the least noticed one and bonus, it's the longest, so like,
Speaker 1: why not get a long one if you're going to
Speaker 1: get a new one? Right? Can I also say side note,
Speaker 1: the word flap is so disgusting. Yeah, it really is disgusting,
Speaker 1: but it's it's this thing is just it's really I
Speaker 1: think it's kind of cool. The only thing is is
Speaker 1: that that now that he has a bone in his penis,
Speaker 1: he has a permanent boner, you know, like it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it that's why that's why I made the title that, like,
Speaker 1: and that could be uncomfortable because that would look big
Speaker 1: under his pain and things like that. Like that's just
Speaker 1: something to consider. But it looks it looks great. They
Speaker 1: show the pictures of what it looks like after it's healed,
Speaker 1: and a lot of it because he already had with
Speaker 1: the stump and he was able to urinate like that.
Speaker 1: It's just more like how a woman would urinate, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of this is just for self
Speaker 1: esteem purposes, because that's like a lot for a guy
Speaker 1: to lose his penis. Sometimes it's everything to them, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean medically. I think it's a really cool achievement
Speaker 1: that the doctors were able to do that. It is.
Speaker 1: It is an unusual story for sure. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: This next one is called a fish out of water,
Speaker 1: so an another outrage is this one's so nuts. When
Speaker 1: when I read this to Ricky last night, he said,
Speaker 1: never going fishing again. So I guess you guys can
Speaker 1: see if you're gonna make that choice too. A middle
Speaker 1: aged man was out fishing one day, totally normal activity
Speaker 1: for most middle aged man, I'd say. So as he
Speaker 1: starts relling in this fishy cot, it jumped off the
Speaker 1: hook and went right in his mouth, he starts started
Speaker 1: freaking out so bad trying to get it out. But
Speaker 1: somehow the fish made its way down his throat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the fish was trying to swim away as fast as
Speaker 1: it can down his throat, and it was pretty successful.
Speaker 1: And I mean, think of think about this, like he
Speaker 1: was freaking out and trying to pull it out of
Speaker 1: his mouth. But a fish is like slimy and wiggly,
Speaker 1: and that like the fish don't want to be there either.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like this is a mutual agreement.
Speaker 1: The fish doesn't want to be there, the guy doesn't
Speaker 1: want the fish there. Fish are hard to grab with
Speaker 1: your bears, Yeah, and he couldn't. He couldn't get it,
Speaker 1: and the thing just try was trying to get further
Speaker 1: away from him and just kept like squeezing itself down
Speaker 1: the hole, which is known to be his esophagus. Because
Speaker 1: when he's crazy, it's so crazy. Because when he got
Speaker 1: to the hospital, the doctors said they heard like flapping
Speaker 1: when the guy opened his mouth. They heard the fish
Speaker 1: like moving inside of his throat, but when they looked
Speaker 1: in his mouth and his throat, they couldn't see the
Speaker 1: fish at all. So it was that far down that
Speaker 1: they couldn't see it, just doing a normal like ah,
Speaker 1: stick out your tongue and look like that's insane, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: They So then they're going down his throat trying to
Speaker 1: grab this fish out by its tail, but then pieces
Speaker 1: of it start breaking off, Like how horrible is so
Speaker 1: the fish is still alive this whole time, And they
Speaker 1: put a scope down there to get further down, and
Speaker 1: they got forceps and we're trying to pull it out,
Speaker 1: but the fish was like lodged in there, and they yes,
Speaker 1: they were pulling pieces of its towel out while the
Speaker 1: thing was still alive and like flowling all over the place. Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then obviously because they're like ripping parts of its
Speaker 1: body off, it eventually dies in his throat. This is
Speaker 1: like absolute nightmarage situation. Yeah, so they they so when
Speaker 1: they were like, we can't get it out, they did
Speaker 1: an x ray. I don't even know why they just
Speaker 1: didn't X ray and they show, oh, here's the fish's
Speaker 1: vertubral column in the picture, and you're like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we're all we all know the fish is there, right,
Speaker 1: this is not shocked. But they said that they noticed
Speaker 1: that there was air surrounding the esophagus, which means that
Speaker 1: there's possibly like a hole, which is which is a
Speaker 1: huge problem. They they said they couldn't really handle that
Speaker 1: situation at that hospital, so they transferred them and when
Speaker 1: they went, they transferred them to another hospital and the
Speaker 1: same exact thing happened. They were like trying to pull
Speaker 1: it out and they couldn't get it out. So finally
Speaker 1: they were like, okay, we need to do surgery and
Speaker 1: take this thing out. And when they examined them and
Speaker 1: they found this thing that was lodged in his larynx
Speaker 1: and his esophagus, it was the lining was all torn
Speaker 1: up because of the sharp like the sharpness of the
Speaker 1: fins of the fish, like it wedged itself in there,
Speaker 1: and the fins like cut itself along the way, and
Speaker 1: it was like kind of stuck and embedded in the
Speaker 1: lining of his esophagus and larynx. Yeah, and this thing
Speaker 1: wasn't like a small little minnow or anything. It was
Speaker 1: eleven centimeters long, climbing perch. Yes, it was, you know, relatively,
Speaker 1: it's a smaller fish obviously when larger ones exist. But
Speaker 1: that's like four inches. That's a huge fish. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: yeah fish. And he's probably just like pissed off too,
Speaker 1: because like a fisherman that catches an eleven centimeter fish
Speaker 1: is kind of like that's one they would just throw
Speaker 1: back in, right, Like, it's not it's not anything you
Speaker 1: could do anything with, right, It's it's it's so nuts.
Speaker 1: The whole story is so nuts. So they show a
Speaker 1: picture of what this fish looked like when they took
Speaker 1: it out, and you're looking at it, like, what the
Speaker 1: hell did these doctors do? They like, they almost stripped
Speaker 1: all of the meat off of the bone of this
Speaker 1: fish trying to get it out. They show it in
Speaker 1: comparison to an intact fish that like what they just
Speaker 1: were like, Oh, this is what this fish normally looks
Speaker 1: like it and and listen, the guy was pretty fine,
Speaker 1: Like he had a little tear in his esophagus. He
Speaker 1: stayed in the hospital for a week and it healed
Speaker 1: and he was released and physically he was fine. How
Speaker 1: was he breathing like during this thing, Well, he wasn't,
Speaker 1: And that's why they were trying to They were really
Speaker 1: trying to get it out because they heard at first
Speaker 1: that he was seemed like he was breathing kind of okay,
Speaker 1: But the further down the thing was getting it was
Speaker 1: like they were getting concerned that he was going to die.
Speaker 1: But it was in his esophagus, not in his trachea, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So the larynx kind of is this central thing in
Speaker 1: your neck that splits, so you know, when you eat,
Speaker 1: the food goes down the esophagus and the air goes
Speaker 1: down the trachia. So it was stuck up and there
Speaker 1: but it was mostly going into the esophagus, because if
Speaker 1: it was going the other way, he would have been dead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it luckily it went into his food pipe instead. Wow.
Speaker 1: But it got stuck because it was too big. It
Speaker 1: was too big to fit through, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Even though kids could swallow Barbie doll heads, apparently a
Speaker 1: whole I don't know this guy, how don he even
Speaker 1: swallow the doll head hole? I cannot understand this? Was
Speaker 1: it a bar It was a Barbie doll head, like
Speaker 1: it wasn't a pollypocket. That was like a small head
Speaker 1: or something. To me, no, because I could see it
Speaker 1: inside the intestines, and I know what side see intestines are,
Speaker 1: and a child of that age, it's a Barbie head.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's exactly Barbie brand, but it's
Speaker 1: a head of a doll like a Barbie. Children aren't
Speaker 1: even supposed to eat whole grapes, Like, how are they
Speaker 1: getting down hole dollheads? I don't know. Would you even
Speaker 1: be mad at your kid? I'd be like, yo, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of impressed that you did that. I don't when
Speaker 1: it kids seven's kind of old to do that. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, can you imagine you're like, okay, seven, can
Speaker 1: you imagine the doll hair feeling in your throat? Now that?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that whole thing sounds horrible to me.
Speaker 1: I mean this, this fishing story is pure freak accident.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I wonder if he goes fishing anymore
Speaker 1: after this, dude, that would just be like there was
Speaker 1: a time period of probably I would say at least
Speaker 1: like an hour, if not more, that this thing was.
Speaker 1: Which this is a whole other side note, like how
Speaker 1: does an animal that has gills live for so long?
Speaker 1: If you took a goldfish out of the tank, that
Speaker 1: thing would die fast. I don't know. Do you think
Speaker 1: the moisture his body was like helping? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's so weird. Well, do you know the story of Pop,
Speaker 1: your grandfather Pop, not your dad Pop? When he was
Speaker 1: fishing once on a boat a bluefish. He caught a
Speaker 1: bluefish and I got off the hook and it took
Speaker 1: a chunk out of his leg. Oh yeah, I did
Speaker 1: remember that. But that that makes sense because it's like
Speaker 1: a bigger fish, not the bluefish that you said fell
Speaker 1: out of the sky to a car. That happened. That's
Speaker 1: what are you talking about it really happened, all right?
Speaker 1: Kick up? All right, Well let's get on to some
Speaker 1: one was driving and a bluefish fell in the car.
Speaker 1: Where did they come from? It probably came from like
Speaker 1: a bird of prey that was carrying it out of
Speaker 1: the water or something. I don't know. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get into our last talking story of the week. In
Speaker 1: Wales in twenty fifteen, this older woman died of brain cancer.
Speaker 1: So she was known around town as kind of this
Speaker 1: odd ball, and most people thought that she was a
Speaker 1: liar or just made up stories. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: we all know older women that just, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of sit there and just totally make shit up and
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, granny like. So one really weird
Speaker 1: thing to note was she was always talking about this
Speaker 1: medical skeleton that she had wrapped in plastics stored under
Speaker 1: the potting table in the community garden. So that doesn't
Speaker 1: seem weird at all, right, this is what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: when I was reading this, I'm just like, how does
Speaker 1: everybody around you? Like? I maybe I shouldn't even say
Speaker 1: this out loud because I'm literally sitting right next to
Speaker 1: a medical skeleton about two feet away. From me at
Speaker 1: your desk right now. But like it's not hidden in
Speaker 1: bags like underneath of a table at a community garden.
Speaker 1: It just makes sense for my purposes to be here,
Speaker 1: Like why is everybody just like, oh yeah, she just
Speaker 1: carries around a medical skeleton, like and we just store
Speaker 1: it in this garden. Well, they already thought she was
Speaker 1: like this kooky old lady, and they apparently, like the
Speaker 1: friends were making jokes with her about it, and then
Speaker 1: she was like, you never know, it could be a
Speaker 1: real person, and they were just like okay, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So about a month after she died, one of her
Speaker 1: neighbors thought it would be funny to play a prank
Speaker 1: on one of the other neighbors and put the skeleton
Speaker 1: on their porch. So two of the two of the
Speaker 1: neighbors go and get the skeleton and start cutting through
Speaker 1: what is forty one layers of plastic bags. And as
Speaker 1: they're cutting through it, this thick liquid starts seeping out
Speaker 1: and they realize, oh shit, this is a real person.
Speaker 1: It's so gross. It probably smelled so much. I was thinking,
Speaker 1: so disgusting. And how long did they figure out? Like
Speaker 1: how long that body was wrapped up like that, I
Speaker 1: mean approximately twenty years so they were saying, So they
Speaker 1: were saying that because of the obviously they had to
Speaker 1: call the cops and everything. And then when the cops
Speaker 1: got there, they were saying, the way it was wrapped
Speaker 1: in the bags like kind of like mummified the body
Speaker 1: and made it decompose really weird. So they weren't exactly
Speaker 1: able to figure out when this person had died, but
Speaker 1: they could tell they died from blunt force trauma, which
Speaker 1: later came out to be from an ornamental frog, which
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's amazing because one of my best
Speaker 1: friend's moms like collects those stupid things, these frogs. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: it's a thing with older people. Okay, Because when we
Speaker 1: were in Douchhore and we went to that yard sale
Speaker 1: at that house, is that what it was like earth?
Speaker 1: It was a state sale. When we went there, did
Speaker 1: you notice that there was a whole entire room with
Speaker 1: like little figurines of frogs, like thousands of them. No,
Speaker 1: I see them a lot at estate sales. I think
Speaker 1: they were a really big thing in like the seventies
Speaker 1: or early eighties. Yes, So our friend's mom is obsessed
Speaker 1: with them like that, and I took a video and
Speaker 1: sent them and then we just saw them at a
Speaker 1: house yesterday too, right, like, oh yeah, I did this
Speaker 1: point one out sie yesterday And that was before we
Speaker 1: knew we were gonna talk about this, Like what what
Speaker 1: is it with that? Like, I don't know, But apparently
Speaker 1: apparently this lady killed her husband with this ornamental frog,
Speaker 1: and they they think he died around nineteen ninety seven
Speaker 1: because that's like the last time anyone saw him. And
Speaker 1: when people had asked her where he was, she said
Speaker 1: he left her for another woman. Yeah, which is kind
Speaker 1: of amazing that you could just say, like, oh, some
Speaker 1: people in the neighborhood be like, where's Cape been. I
Speaker 1: haven't said, oh, he left me for another woman. Me,
Speaker 1: Molly's like in my basement for years, like just nobody
Speaker 1: asked any questions. Wasn't even at her basement though, he
Speaker 1: was literally in the garden, in the garden. Wait, it
Speaker 1: gets worse. This is not this is not it. She
Speaker 1: had an even darker pass than we know about. So
Speaker 1: the two of them had five children together that they
Speaker 1: abandoned in the late sixties and then assumed new identities.
Speaker 1: So this all went down in Australia and then fifteen
Speaker 1: years later they reunited with the kids and the kids
Speaker 1: were trying to give it a shot, but we're obviously like,
Speaker 1: I don't think I could forgive you for this because
Speaker 1: the kids weren't between I think two years old and
Speaker 1: eleven years old when they abandoned them, so like older
Speaker 1: that they met them with. They like left them at
Speaker 1: an adoption or a nursery or something. They were like,
Speaker 1: see it, so yeah late, Like listen, when you see
Speaker 1: a picture of this lady, you would believe it. She
Speaker 1: just looks like she's a little rough around the edges. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So after that they then left and then went to Wales,
Speaker 1: and the kids have said she is a total conniving
Speaker 1: bitch and they could totally see that she killed their
Speaker 1: dad and he was just so in love with her
Speaker 1: that he went along with anything she said. I'm impressed
Speaker 1: that he was able she was able to kill him
Speaker 1: with the frog. Yeah, I mean me too. Apparently when
Speaker 1: they started looking into this murder, I mean, she obviously
Speaker 1: was dead after they figured all of this out, but
Speaker 1: she apparently had admitted to killing him when it happened
Speaker 1: to her friend and her friend just didn't believe her.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because the way that the body was preserved,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure that she like I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what she she was doing, if she was intentionally trying
Speaker 1: to make him skeletonized or whatever. Like, it's just interesting
Speaker 1: because because it was so wrapped up, there was no
Speaker 1: way for there to be any kind of insect activity
Speaker 1: and and like yeah, eventually all the tissues would mammify
Speaker 1: if it was all sealed up and there was no
Speaker 1: air around and stuff. It's just kind of like really interesting. See.
Speaker 1: I can't really let go of this lady just having
Speaker 1: a medical skeleton, even if it was a Halloween skeleton
Speaker 1: in the garden. Nobody's like what the fuck is up
Speaker 1: with this thing? They're just like, oh, that's so and
Speaker 1: so that'ston Yeah, Yeah, that's it. That's what's weird. Like
Speaker 1: why would she have that and why would it be there?
Speaker 1: It's just so bizarre. It is so weird. But I
Speaker 1: don't know that this story was truly weird. You have
Speaker 1: a shocking story, don't you. You said something happened to
Speaker 1: you on Friday? Oh my god, yeah, this is so great.
Speaker 1: So something happened to me and I did I told
Speaker 1: I said to Maria, she said it happened, and I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll have to wait to tell you on the show
Speaker 1: because it's good. So Gabe and I went to Gab
Speaker 1: and I went to pick up the kids from school
Speaker 1: and he has he has a black pickup truck and
Speaker 1: I got out and then I got Lucea and then
Speaker 1: I was walking towards the car and another mom stopped
Speaker 1: me and I was talking and I was like bent
Speaker 1: over for like five minutes, like looking in her car.
Speaker 1: And then I got up and then went to the
Speaker 1: car that was parked right next to her car, which
Speaker 1: was a black pickup truck. And I opened the door
Speaker 1: and there was like a dog sitting on the front seat,
Speaker 1: like a Yorky and I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh my god, I got
Speaker 1: in the rock car again. I gave what right in front.
Speaker 1: He was just looking at me like what the fuck
Speaker 1: are you doing right now? I was like, it's just
Speaker 1: say again, same as that truck. This is not my fault.
Speaker 1: This is it is your yea, listen guy, go like
Speaker 1: we're going to some firefighter award ceremony thing in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks right. And every time we go to
Speaker 1: things like that, we pull up and there's like twenty
Speaker 1: five black pickup trucks in the parking lot. Right, everybody
Speaker 1: is the same as that car. You didn't even notice
Speaker 1: before you open the door there is a dog. No, no,
Speaker 1: because it was tanted out and his windows are black too,
Speaker 1: And it was the same as that brand and color
Speaker 1: of my husband's truck. Drive. It's not the same. No.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, oh my god, what if
Speaker 1: the dog jumped out? It was so good. And he's
Speaker 1: like staring at me in the rear room mirror the
Speaker 1: whole time, like not even trying to stop me. I again,
Speaker 1: and then he's he keeps trying to tell me like
Speaker 1: so of course that car goes to our school. So
Speaker 1: now every single day he's like, oh, you don't want
Speaker 1: to get in that car, like whatever. The person didn't
Speaker 1: see you open their car door, like nothing, I don't know,
Speaker 1: nothing happened. I just like played it cool. I was
Speaker 1: just like, oh wrong, cop. I would feed seriously, thank
Speaker 1: god the dog was there, because I I don't know
Speaker 1: that right away I would have noticed. I mean, I
Speaker 1: feel like it's like a newer model of his car.
Speaker 1: So I opened it and I was like, wait, why
Speaker 1: is this look so luxurious? Why is there a dog here?
Speaker 1: The first sign wasn't why is the dog? It was
Speaker 1: wice is the interior interior nicer? Yeah, it's like, oh
Speaker 1: this is nice. This only happens to you, all right. Well,
