1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: This is jem nation. This was a story that you

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: may have seen on the news last night. It is

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: so intriguing. The headline read when I read about it.

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Man dies after taking first shower in sixty seven years.

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: When you dig a bit deeper, it's not a surprise

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: he died because it says he's ninety four and he

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: also had the shower about nine months before. But that's

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: why he died. Bit of clickbait going on there. But

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: the story of this man is extraordinary anyway. So he's

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: ninety four years old, let's dig a bit deeper. Shower.

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: He went sixty seven years without washing because he was

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: worried it would make him ill. He has been, he's

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: been dubbed, and this is nice. The world's dirtiest man

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: for his bathroom dodging ways. Apart from an aversion to

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: soap and water, he was otherwise healthy despite only eating

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: uncooked porcupine roadkill and drinking dirty water from puddles out

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: of a rusty oil can. The photo is a photo

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: him here sleeping on the side of the road using

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: a pillow, using a rock as a pillow. He also

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: had you know in a way, there's no he's got

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: no expectations, has he You know? He might have been

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: loving his life for all we know, he says here.

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: He also had a fondness for smoking animal dung out

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: of an old pipe, as well as four cigarettes at once.

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: Earlier this year, neighbors persuaded him to have a shower,

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: after telling him washing would make it difficult for him

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: to find a girlfriend. He's ninety four. He uses a

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: rock for a pillow. Why doesn't he have a girlfriend?

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: His neighbors though they probably would downwind of him. Well,

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: they say that. Then for the first time a few

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: months ago, villages had taken him to the bathroom to wash.

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Such was his commitment to not washing, he once jumped

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: from a moving car when men in the village had

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: bundled him in to take him to the river. He

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: also attracted the interests of scientists interested in studying what

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: types of life forms might have taken up home on

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: his body. They were surprised to find he hadn't suffered

38
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: any bacterial parasites, apart from some kind of bacteria that

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: comes from eating raw meat, and he tested for He

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: tested positive negative for HIV and hepatitis, had a few

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: love bites obviously, and it's a shame he died because

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: once they washed him up, he was destined for Love Island.

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: So I also love from this story. Down the side

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: column where I've seen the story, it says more from

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: health and fitness, like this is a story about health

46
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: and fitness,
