WEBVTT - Episode 0: Farting Hipster Hitler

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Hello everybody. I am Robert Evans, and this is Behind

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the Bastards, the podcast where we take you through all

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>of the strange things you didn't know about the very

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>worst people in all of history. With me today is

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Jack O'Brien, my once and future boss. We worked together

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>at Cracked for like more than a decade, long time,

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>yea very long time. Uh yeah. I am thrilled to

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>be here, thrilled to be launching a podcast with the

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Robert Evans, who you know, started the personal Experience section

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>at Cracked, wrote some of our most popular articles. And yeah,

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the things you were always good at is

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>finding out interesting information about awful, awful people. Um yeah, yeah.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I think the genesis of this might have come after

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the revolution in Ukraine where that quasi dictator Yunukovic got

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>kicked out and he did this press conference afterwards where

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>he was like shouting at how angry he was, and

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>he tried to break a pencil to like emphasize a point,

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>but he had a pin in his hands and it

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>just bent. And so there's just like twenty seconds of

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>this dictator trying to break a pin and failing. And

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the stuff I want to like the sad like

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Michael Scott from the Office moments in the lives of

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>all these like nightmarish dictators who who started wars and

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, ruined hundreds of thousands or millions of lives.

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>They're all such like weird, sad people when you really

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>get right down to them, right. Yeah. One of our

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>most popular articles that Cracked was you reading every single

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>edition of the Isis Like magazine that was almost like

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>a seventeen for Isis kids. Yeah, it's like they're people. Yeah,

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>it's always like these monsters and their monster's regimes are

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 1>always like there's this beautiful layer of the absurd that

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>if you can get past the nightmarish human suffering, like,

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot to just goggle at. Yeah, it's amazing.

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>So in addition to being a really funny dude, Robert

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>is also a really great journalist. The Personal Experience section

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of the Cracked site was where he would interview people

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>with just really crazy or harrowing or interesting life experiences

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and then you would put together these articles that were,

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, funny but really interesting accounts that you've never

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>heard before of, like what it's like to be on Heroin,

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>what it's like to uh be on math a lot

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>of drugs stuff mostly that. Yeah, but um, you know,

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of interesting stories, things that uh truck drivers

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>se out on the highway, which included a lot of

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>people having sex apparently. Um but yeah, So this was

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>one of the ideas when we decided that you were

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>allowed to work with me again. Uh, this was I

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>think the first idea you pitched, and uh, I got

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>super excited right away. Yeah, I just I love talking

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>about terrible people. You get a deeper understanding of the

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>world when you understand these guys, monsters like Saddam Hussein

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>and Osama bin Laden and good old fashioned Hitler, Nikolaich

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>chest Go, like all these dictators, but they're also just

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>like like we're gonna be talking about later in the

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>in the series, we're gonna be talking about like Hitler's

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>young adult fiction novels that he based his plans for

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>World War two on, And we'll be talking about like

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>osamban Laden's love of Hollywood movies and how he'd use

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>it to jazz up his fighters before like going into battle.

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Like all these ridiculous stories that add like so much

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>color to these people's lives and help explain like why

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>they did the ship they did, like, but also you know,

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>puncture the myth, like we mythologize and make these people

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>into just these huge icons of you know, their Darth

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Vader type of people. And uh, actually they have bal

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>problems as well. Talk about today. Yeah, that's what we're

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>getting into today. Adolf Hitler, warlord, uh monster, history's greatest

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>evil and also a ridiculous, farting hipster in his twenties

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and thirties. Yeah, so you're giving them a little taste

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>of what they would get in a normal episode, just

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a quick, quick in and out. Yeah. Yeah, I think

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people feel like they know the fewer

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty well. You know, you've seen a lot of Hitler

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and movies and TV shows, and he's usually either this

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like psychopathic yeah yeah, yeah, he's either like the psychopathic

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>powerful warlord or the broken, trembling wreck of a person

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>in downfall. And those are both accurate to certain periods.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>But you never see nerdy hipster Hitler portrayed in fiction,

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>do not. So. When Hitler was a teenager and a

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>young adult, his best friend was a violinist named August

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Kuba check Um. Now, after the war kuba Check wrote

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a book about Hitler called The Young Hitler I Knew

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>And It's weird because Hitler and kuba Check had a

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>very weird relationship. In the book, kuba Check writes about

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a time when Hitler went with him to the funeral

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>for kuba Checks violent teacher, which quote rather surprised me,

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>as he did not know Professor Desaur at all. When

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I expressed my surprise, he said, I can't bear it

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that you should mix with other young people and talk

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>to them. So that's that's the kind of friend, young

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.239
<v Speaker 1>little showing up at stranger's funerals. So his friend doesn't

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>talk to anyone else. Um. So one night in nineteen five,

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>kuba Check and Hitler are on a walk and Hitler's

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, ranting about Hitler stuff, which he apparently did

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.159
<v Speaker 1>from the time he was like fifteen on up. That's adorable,

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 1>like just a smaller version of himself, but just always ranting.

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>He's always been yelling about stuff. Uh. And so during

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>this walk they see a quote slim blonde girl, and

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Hitler grabs his friend's arm and says, you must know

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm in love with her now. God. According to kuba

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Check's book, Hitler made obsessed with this girl for like

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>four straight years. He never talked to her, he never

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>told her how we felt. He never flirted with her,

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>but he forced his best friend to spy on her

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and report back to him for years. Um, there's like

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>all these crazy little like one time, there's this parade

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and she's one of the girls who's like handing out

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>flowers at the parade, and she like throws one to

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Hitler just because he's in the crowd, and he's like

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that was a secret sign that she loves me. Like

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>he's full on nuts um. So he never talks to

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>this girl, not once, but he becomes convinced that she

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>loves him too, and that you know, all these different

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>things that his friend is reporting on her doing or

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>like her sending him secret messages because he's nuts um.

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>After the war, someone tracked her down and let her

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>know that like Hitler had had a crush on her

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>when they were kids, and she was like, I have

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>no idea, but she did say, I once received a

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>letter from someone who said they were to attend the

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Academy of Arts and that I should wait for him

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>he could come back and marry me. I had no

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>idea who the letter might have been from or who

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I should have sent it to. So that's do you

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>think it's like the social network thing where everything he

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>did was secretly for this woman, like maybe she'll love

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>me now. I think that there's a little bit of

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>that there, because she was always dating young Austrian soldiers

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and Hitler kind of had a chip on his shoulder

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>about the army because they were all these like good looking,

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>fit guys and he was like this sick, pale kid

0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>who couldn't talk to girls. Um. See, I feel like

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>there's a little bit of that going on. But as

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>he grew up, Hitler got a little bit less awkward,

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>not a lot less awkward, but a little bit. Uh.

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 1>And in his mid twenties, when his political career was

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>still young, he started to make some rich friends. One

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>of them was a cultured, wealthy German named Hampstengel uh.

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>And so this rich dude frequently would have Hitler over

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>for dinner, but he and his wife were appalled by

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the man's lack of table manners uh And at one point,

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Hopstengle reports being horrified that Hitler was caught pouring sugar

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in fine wine so that he could drink it, which

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>is like, God, it's like a Michael Scott moment, right,

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>barbarian Right, someone hands, I'm like, here's this, you know,

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>decade old French wine, and I'm gonna take my wine

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>with two lumps of sugar. Yeah, wow, that's great. Yeah.

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>So Hitler's a classy guy. But as he grew older

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>into his thirties and stuff, and his political career blew up,

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>he started to make some actual money, mainly from like

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Nazi Party dues and stuff, and you know, he put

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that money into perfecting his look, which

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>would not be at all out of place in an

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>all right gathering today. In the biography Hitler by Ian

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Kershaw Uh, Kershawn notes that the young fearer war quote

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a trilby, a light colored raincoat, leather leggings, and a

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>writing whip. Yeah that's like his leather shorts and a

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>fedora and a whip is how this guy's walking around. Yeah. Um,

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Hitler in the nineteen twenties was never without a whip.

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Another description from the book notes quote in his gangster

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>hat and trench coat over his dinner jacket, touting a

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>pistol and carrying as usual his dog whip. He cut

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a bizarre figure in the salons of Munich's upper crust.

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Whip dog whip. Yeah yeah. Hitler impressed girls by whipping

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 1>dogs with his hippopotamus hyde whip. Uh yeah. And also people.

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>When Hitler would get into fights, you know, there were

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>all these brawls, he would just pull out a whip

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 1>and start whipping folks. I thought whips were cool when

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like six. Yeah. Yeah. Hitler didn't grow out

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.599
<v Speaker 1>of that, and it spent like a solid decade and

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>never leaving the house without a hippopotamus with the whip,

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 1>just beating people with a whip. Um. So yeah, that's

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>young Hitler walking around in a trill, be in a

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>trench coat, hitting people in animals with whips. Uh. And

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>he went by the nickname har Wolf and made all

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of his friends call him Mr Wolf or the Wolf. Uh.

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>And that was another thing he kept doing his entire

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>life because during the invasion of Russia, his secret headquarters

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 1>was called the Wolf's Lair is hair Wolf, Mr Wolf Yeah,

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Mr wolf Man. That is a bad nickname. That's that

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>was Hitler's nickname for himself that he made everyone call

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>him by he signed his love letters wolf Wolf is okay,

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 1>but Mr Wolf, he's just silly. Yeah. Well, the real

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>meat that I want to get into here is the

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>story of Hitler's terrible farts and how they impacted history.

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 1>So we've set it up. Hitler's you know, walking around

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>in a trill, be in a trench coat, wielding a whip,

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>hitting dogs all the time. But he's also farting constantly.

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Because Hitler suffered through his entire life from what was

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>then known as meteorism, which is uncontrollable flatulence. Uh. He

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>initially adopted his vegetarian diet so that his farts would

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>get better, but they only made his farts worse. Hitler's

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>farts were a constant source of embarrassment and important political meetings.

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>There's all these tales of like before he was in power,

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>when he was still like in politics and stuff, like

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>him meeting with all of these other German politicians and

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>like just couldn't stop farting, and tiny and closed rooms

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.559
<v Speaker 1>and train cars, and it just ruins these these meetings

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.960
<v Speaker 1>where he's trying to like, you know, establish a consensus

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>government or whatever. But this isn't a thing that he's

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 1>overly sensitive about and you know he's worried about it. Oh,

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>he hates it more than other people. But it's it's

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>actually a thing where everybody else is like, Oh, there

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>goes Hitler, the guy who ends meetings by farting too much. Well,

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:51.839
<v Speaker 1>it was usually he would do a lot of dinner

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 1>meetings and he would flee the room at the end

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of dinner like something. They would just Sometimes he would

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>just run out, like right afterwards and hide for the

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>rest of the night because his arts were so bad,

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:07.319
<v Speaker 1>like they would stick his ass out the window. Yeah. Yeah,

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>So in nineteen thirty six, after he's in power, he

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>decides he's had enough of his farts, uh, and he

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.839
<v Speaker 1>decides to seek professional attention. This brings him into the

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>orbit of a guy named Theodore Morrell, who was a

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty year old doctor who primarily worked on actors. So

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Morrell prescribed Hitler two different pills for his terrible farts.

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 1>The first pills were Mooda floor capsules, which is a

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>medicine you can still buy to day. They're made from

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the poop of a World War One soldier who proved

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>resilient to dysenterry uh. And that is actual medicine like

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.959
<v Speaker 1>you'll get it today for for real stomach issues, poop transplants. Yeah.

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>The other thing he took were Dr. Kester's anti gas pills,

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>which were just pure strychnine. Oh right, yeah, yeah, he

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>got the farts. Yeah. There's no consensus on how much

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 1>of an impact taking poison every day for a decade

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>had on on Hitler. Some people say that it was

0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>probably responsible for his tremors and his like horrible physical

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>pain and ailments at the time. They it said he

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:05.679
<v Speaker 1>would have needed to take thirty a day of these

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>pills for them to be toxic. But we know he

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 1>was taking like six to ten per meal, like he

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>was just eating them like candy. Um. And the doctor

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>kept him constantly, you know, stocked up on anti fart pills. Um.

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>So there's a U. S. Intelligence report made by the

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>precursor to the CIA during World War Two that noted

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 1>all this. It's it says Hitler complained of meteorism, especially

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>after eating black bread and cabbage, and an abnormal feeling

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.439
<v Speaker 1>in the epi hypogastric region. These symptoms probably were due

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to in neuroses, since occasional errors and diets such as

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 1>the intake of lentils and pas brought only the normal

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 1>amount of complaining. Furthermore, the prescriptions of unsuitable and useless

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.559
<v Speaker 1>drugs for these complaints brought about improvement. Epigastric cramps and

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>vomiting were noted during These were probably the result of

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 1>constant strychnine and atropine medications and not of historic origin.

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>So the CIA thinks Hitler's farts are all in his

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>head and it's the poison pills and causing his cramps.

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a weakness of character, as are all farts. Ye So,

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Hitler considered Morrell his savior for his anti farting pills,

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.839
<v Speaker 1>which apparently seemed to help UH and privately said he

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.199
<v Speaker 1>saved my life. Wonderful how he helped me. Um. So

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Morrell became Hitler's number one doctor. UH. This led Morrell

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to a great wealth and power because he was able

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to start manufacturing vitamin pills, first just for Hitler and

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>then for everyone who wanted to take the same pills

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>as Hitler UM and presumably in his long like infomercial

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>career afterwards, as Hitler's number one doctor. Yea, so he

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>starts giving Hitler different drugs UH. Like the fact that

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the farting pills work mean that Hitler trusts Morrell to

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>do anything. So over the course of World War Two,

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.559
<v Speaker 1>we know that Morrell gave Hitler ninety two different medications,

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty were manufactured by firms that Morrell owned himself, and

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>most of those had never been scientifically tested, so he

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 1>was actually testing out drugs on Hitler. Hitler was his

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 1>guinea pig for a lot of meta sins before anyone

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 1>else would try them. He'd be like, well, let's see

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 1>how it works like Hitler, and then we'll sell him

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>to the Germans. This makes a lot of sense. Yeah, yeah,

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Now there's a common myth that Hitler was addicted to methamphetamine.

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>That's not quite true. He took a lot of meth

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>but he didn't take anything all the time because Morrell

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>kept him on a constant cycle of morphine, methamphetamine, cocaine,

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and a variety of other substances. Jesus um So he

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>had morphine administered about twenty five times from forty three

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.239
<v Speaker 1>to forty four for stomach cramps, twenty nine different injections,

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>and sixty three kinds of oral tablets and skin applications

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>like he's just doing a carousel of drugs for Hitler.

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>In his last twenty eight months alive, Hitler had twenty

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>one injections to treat colds and seven hundred and fifty

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>seven to restore his energy. Most of those are mixes

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of cocaine, methamphetamine, and vitamins. Um. So, yeah, Hitler is

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 1>taking just a swinging carousel of random doses of drugs

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and vitamins for the entirety of World War too. Uh.

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>And he doesn't question at any point because these are

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>being prescribed by the doctor who was able to stop

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 1>him from farting Jesus christ Man, yep, didn't. He also

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 1>like sleep in till noon every day. Well, he stayed

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>up really late to write, like back before the year

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 1>being injected seven times with ant enemies. Yeah, before the Warriors,

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>he would stay up until like three or four in

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the morning watching American movies and like make all of

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>his colleagues watch them with him. Stalin did kind of

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, Like that's just a dictator thing, like

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 1>forcing people to watch movies with you. But yeah, where

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>we go, that's the sort of crazy stuff you're gonna

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>learn about history's biggest villains. I guess on this show. Yep, yep,

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna uncover who was wearing tril bees and who

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>was farting uncontrollable. Now, what does a tril be Fedora?

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like the alt rightiest hat that exists. Yeah. Yeah,

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 1>so that's one thing I've learned doing this is that

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>those eight chan Nazis are actually just kind of like

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>returning to a pattern, and yet none of them have

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the balls to rocket Hitler mustache. Yeah, I'm sure they

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 1>all have horrible parting problems though. Yeah, they do not

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>look like a good smelling bunch. Uh well all right,

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.440
