1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the short stuff. I'm Josh, and 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: there's Chuck, and Jerry's here too. Dave's here in spirit. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: So this is a short stuff that we can begin now. 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 2: That's right, Josh, let me set the stage. It's seventeen 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: ninety nine. Founding Father George Washington is on his deathbed. 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 2: He calls over his secretary Tobias Lear and says. 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 3: I am just going have me decently buried, but do 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 3: not let my body be put into the vault in 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 3: less than three days after I'm dead, because you never know. 10 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 4: That is the last part, But that's basically what he 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 4: was saying. 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so, yeah, and that was a great George Washington, 13 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: especially dying George Washington. 14 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 4: Thanks. 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: The reason why he said that is because at the time, 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: there was a there was a chance, let's call it 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: a non zero chance to get nerdy, yeah, that you 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: you might be buried alive accidentally. There's all sorts of 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: different conditions and stuff that we understand. Now, if you 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: hook somebody up to like a EKG or EEG or 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: some sort of g, you'd be able to detect their 22 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: heartbeat that you wouldn't be able to, say, like palpitating 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: it with your fingers or like watching somebody to see 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: if they're actually breathing. You might not even have a 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: decent doctor around at the time, and you may end 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: up being buried alive, in which case you are ft. Yeah. 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 4: I wonder when they started checking pulses. 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: I don't know, let's say, eighteen hundred on the dot. 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: I did a quick, rare look up, and if we 30 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: trust the AI overview. 31 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: I do not. 32 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 4: All right, National Institutes of Health. 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: Sure they're talking like four thousand plus years they've been 34 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: checking pulses. 35 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: Okay, wellparently some people were better at it than others, 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: because there do seem to be documented accounts of people 37 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: who are found like entombed who had like scratch marks 38 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: on their coffin, or they were actually out of their 39 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: coffin in a tomb that seemed to have been buried alive, 40 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: came to and then actually did die. 41 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, like they said, I feel betja and they got 42 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: up and so you know, let's say it didn't happen 43 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: that much, because it probably didn't happen enough to the 44 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: level of which people were scared of it. 45 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: Sure, like a plane crash, Yeah, it seems. 46 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: To be an outsized fear back then of being buried alive. 47 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: That is an actual phobia. It's called taphaphobia. T a 48 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: p h e is Greek for burial. And you know, 49 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: because where we're going with all this, and we may 50 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: have mentioned this briefly in our Coffins episode, I know 51 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: we have, we had to it, but this is a 52 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: deeper dive into what was known as a security coffin 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: or a safety coffin, which was you know, for a 54 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: while there a lot of people got patents to build 55 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: coffins that had all these little kind of ingenious ways 56 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: to either get you out of there or alert people 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: above ground that hey, I'm feeling better. 58 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: Right, come get me, I got some life left in me, right. 59 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 60 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: These patents date back to the seventeen nineties. I think 61 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: in Central Europe at least. There's a guy in this 62 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: House Stuff Works article that they interviewed named Adam Bisno, 63 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: who's a historian at the US Patent and Trademark Office, 64 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: and so he would know about patents, even ones in 65 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: Central Europe from the eighteenth century and at this time. 66 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: The argument that's made for the kind of sudden appearance 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: for them is that this coincides with the popularity of romanticism, 68 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: which kind of came as a backlash to the rationalism 69 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: of enlightenment. The Enlightenment and romanticism is like, no, there's 70 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: stuff beyond this life that we can't see. There's there's 71 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: beauty in nature, there's like all of the stuff that 72 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: you can't just think your way out of or think 73 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: you're like things that you can't see that actually do exist, 74 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: and there's probably some sort of afterlife, and who knows 75 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: whether the people are fully gone. This eventually led to 76 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: the rise of mediums and spiritualism, and there was just 77 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: this kind of zeitgeist that the dead could conceivably still 78 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: be in some sort of contact or communication, which doesn't 79 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: directly go to taphophobia, but if you're already thinking, like 80 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to be buried alive, this would probably 81 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: goose you into potentially buying a safety coffin. 82 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 4: Yeah for sure. I Mean. 83 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: The sort of a popular idea at the time was 84 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: that there the veil is very thin between life and death. Ah, yes, 85 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 2: and like how thin could it be? Like maybe so 86 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: thin where you bury me by accident? 87 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, like poor Bill Pullman and Serpent in the Rainbow. 88 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, or. 89 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 2: Keefer Sutherland's wife in that movie, which was a remake 90 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,559 Speaker 2: of a foreign film. 91 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: So good, both of them were. It was one of 92 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: those rare films where the American adaptation was just as 93 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: good as the European original. Both of them are worth seeing. 94 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: What were those calls? Yeah vanishing? 95 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so yeah. And then also that poor guy 96 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: who almost got buried in the Twilight Zone, but he 97 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: started crying because he was so sad and scared, and 98 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: some nurse, one of the nurses noticed his tear was like, doctor, 99 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: he's still alive right before. I think they did an 100 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: autopsy on him. 101 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, or like Uma Thurman and kill Bill. 102 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: That's a great one too, sure, I think Also, Barnabas Collins, 103 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: you can make a case for in Dark Shadows, the 104 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: TV show, not the terrible, terrible, terrible movie. 105 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 4: I didn't see that. 106 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: I saw twenty minutes of it. I was like, oh, boy, 107 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: like these people should be individually shamed for this. 108 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 4: It was Tim Burton, wasn't it. 109 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, So we're going to 110 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: take a break and call Tim Burton, tell him to 111 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: think about what he's done, and we'll be right back 112 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: with safety Coffins soffy jaws. All right, So more than 113 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: one hundred security coffin patents were granted in the United 114 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: States alone in the nineteenth century, and they got a 115 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: little wacky, like each one had its own sort of 116 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: spin on the best way to either get someone out 117 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 2: or to alert people above ground. 118 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. One way was like you could just do something 119 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: as simple as a bell to basically and put the 120 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: cord in the person's hand and they could just like 121 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: pull the bell. It's pretty simple and straightforward. There are 122 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: others that had, like I guess they would put a 123 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: tube in that led and connected to the coffin and 124 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: then buried the person buried around that stuff, so if 125 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: the person came to they could actually crawl use the 126 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: ladder to crawl out of their own grave. Which talk 127 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: about a story to tell at parties. 128 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 4: It's like, you guys aren't gonna believe this. 129 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, are you the guy who crumb climbed out of 130 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: his crave? 131 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 132 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know that starts at the dinner party 133 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: when anyone's like, I've been really lucky. I haven't lost 134 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: a lot of close friends. Like has anyone ever lost 135 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: like close friends and had to like preside over their 136 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: funeral and the guy just puts his napkin. 137 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 4: In his lap. 138 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. 139 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, a life preserving coffin, I believe, is what the 140 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: patent file was in eighteen forty three from Christian Eisenbront 141 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: of Baltimore, Maryland. And this had a spring loaded lid 142 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: where if you the quote was, the slightest motion of 143 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: either the head or the hand would spring this thing up. 144 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: Of course, that's no. 145 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: Good if you're buried under six feet of dirt. So 146 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: his suggestion is like, hey, if this coffin only works 147 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: if you're in a tomb like an above ground vault, 148 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: and you got to leave a key on the inside 149 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: of that thing. So if you pop out of the 150 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: coffin and you're still locked in the tomb, that's no 151 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: good either. 152 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: Can't you see a loved one like sitting up in 153 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: the middle of the night like I forgot to leave 154 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: the key. Yeah, there's another problem with that too, if 155 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: this thing sprung open at the slightest movement of the 156 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: of the person. Corpses move and shift around during decomposition, 157 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that that has accounted. Like I think 158 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: there's accounts of corpses flipping over and being found face down. 159 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: I'm sure that that accounts for a lot of the 160 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: stories of people being found and suspected to have been 161 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: buried alive. But I don't think corpses like leave claw 162 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: marks on there their coffins, So there seemed to be 163 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: some that are legit. 164 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. 165 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 2: Edgar Allan Poe didn't help things much when in eighteen 166 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: forty four he wrote a short story called The Premature Burial, 167 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: where in it he says, to be buried alive is 168 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: beyond question the most terrific of those these extremes, which 169 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: has ever fallen to the lot of mere mortality that 170 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: it has frequently, very frequently, so fallen will scarcely be 171 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: denied by those who think. And then he talks about 172 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: the boundaries between life and death being shadowy and vague, 173 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: kind of playing into that he was writing of the times, 174 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: you know, because that's like we talked about, that's kind 175 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 2: of how people thought of things. So after that, I 176 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: think there were even more people coming out with these things. 177 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. There was a guy named Franz Vester who in 178 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: New Jersey, I guess it's where he was from. He 179 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: had an improved burial case and you could essentially climb 180 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: out of it. I think this was the one that 181 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: had the tube with the ladder. Yeah, and if you 182 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: were two weak you could pull on a bell. So 183 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: this was like, you know, I had a fail safe. 184 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: And he gave demonstrations of his coffin where he would 185 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: be buried under like four feet of dirt and would 186 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: make his way out of the coffin back above ground. 187 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not the only one. It seems like the 188 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: big showman because this was sort of around the snake 189 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: oil time where you would put on a big show 190 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: to try and talk people into buying your thing. Sure, 191 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 2: and in the nineteenth century there was a guy, Count 192 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: de Michele de Carnice Carniki, such a great name. He 193 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: dubbed himself as the Chamberlain to the Tsar of Russia. 194 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: Whatever that means. 195 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: It's the high ranking manager of a royal household. 196 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 4: Oh okay. So he was like, yeah, like a. 197 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: Butler essentially, but he was in charge of everybody, like 198 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: the head butler, yeah, I guess sure, or the chamberlain. 199 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 200 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: I mean, hey, I'm not trying to degrade him. Because 201 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: he was quite the showman. He would travel through the 202 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: Europe and the United States trying to sell his unit 203 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: called the Carnice. And there was an article from the 204 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: Chicago Tribune in eighteen ninety nine that they would read 205 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: before his big show where at the Academy of Medicine 206 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: in New York City, doctor Henry J. 207 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 4: How would you pronounce that one? 208 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: Gregus Gerragus where he startled his fellow members with the 209 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 2: assertion that one of every two hundred people buried in 210 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 2: the US was actually in a lethargic state and is 211 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: buried alive. So very dubious numbers, obviously, but he would 212 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: use that as prelude to take the stage and do 213 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: his own demonstration where he would bury somebody alive. 214 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and La Carnice had an own had like a bell. Again, 215 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: this is pretty low hanging fruit, and it makes a 216 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: lot of sense. But he also put in a tube 217 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: that you could breathe through. You could also talk through it, yeah, 218 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: and be like, what's what's been going on in the 219 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: last few days? Now you wait for help? And he didn't. 220 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: He wasn't himself buried alive like Frank Franz Vestor. He 221 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: would get volunteers to do it. And there's a guy 222 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: named Faropo Lorenzo, who is Italian, believe it or not, 223 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: and he volunteered to be buried alive in this this 224 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: La Carnice casket and he stayed there for nine days 225 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: back in eighteen ninety eight, which is currently still the 226 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: record for being buried alive. 227 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 228 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: I think at one point on day like seven, he 229 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 2: spoke through the tube and he was like, I'm gonna 230 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: put my mouth around the tube now and just drop 231 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 2: a couple of tic. 232 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: TACs, right, Yeah. And then the next day he shouted, 233 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: I got a poop through the through the tube. Nine days, chuck, 234 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: let's think about that. 235 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, that's a long time and that seems verified. 236 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. There's one other thing too that we can't mentioned. 237 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: We've definitely mentioned him before, but I find it so fascinating. 238 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: Timothy Clark Smith, who's grave in New Haven, Vermont, not Connecticut, 239 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: back in I think eighteen ninety three, was fitted out 240 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: with a window that looked down the six feet to 241 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: his face. Oh that was exposed so that passer's bike 242 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: can't check on him to make sure that he wasn't alive. 243 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: Man. 244 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: And it's still there today, except you just can't see 245 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: very far. Because the windows kind of well, it's more 246 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: than one hundred years old. 247 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's too bad. 248 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: You got anything else? 249 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 4: Man, I got nothing else? 250 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: And say it. 251 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 2: Then I guess short stuff is out. 252 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 4: Stuff you Should Know is a production of iHeartRadio. 253 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: For more podcasts my heart Radio, visit the iHeartRadio app, 254 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: Apple Podcasts, or wherever 255 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: You listen to your favorite shows.
