It's like Atlas shrugged, but you're not going to be 14 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,400 able to with these fucking brass beauties right on your back bro. All right. Oh no, I won't. 15 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,040 I won't shrug. I won't shrug, you know, cause I don't want you to, I don't want you to get 16 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:44,180 aroused and I feel like any movement of my shoulder muscles might, it might generate 17 00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:50,680 some friction on your yams and then we got a problem. Well, I don't know that I'll help 18 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,760 you solve. If you all carve you a flesh light out of a single piece of CDA. I don't care. 19 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,760 It's like, Oh, I was going to say off topic. We haven't even gotten to a topic yet, but 20 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,360 did you watch that documentary about that fucking, I forget, I was on Netflix and it's 21 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,040 like this guy who like scammed this family and like that's something to do with their 22 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,240 daughter and the dad was like, yeah. And then, you know, we were sitting in the parked car 23 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,880 and you know, he said he needed some relief. So I, you know, unbuttoned his pants and I 24 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:27,200 relieved him. He's talking about how he jerked off this dude in the car. I'm going to edit 25 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,680 that out. I'm sorry. You have to watch. You have to fucking. Was he dating? No. His daughter? 26 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:42,600 Dude, hold on. No, he just, the dad was like, it's not gay. It's a medical procedure. Just 27 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:54,120 two bros helping each other out. He says, I, I cannot stand my wife. I need to have sex. 28 00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:04,440 I could see that he, he was sexually aroused. He says, Oh, can you give me some relief? 29 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:12,480 We were laughing and he said, Oh, Bob is just kid stuff and I've got to have relief. So 30 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:25,240 I was dumb enough to reach over and relieve him in an act of masturbation. Bro, come on. 31 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:33,080 No, no, that is not. No, I have, I have never once in my life been like, Oh yeah, you know 32 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,740 what? I'll help you out by tugging on your dick for you. Just do it yourself, man. Bro, 33 00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:42,440 you wouldn't fucking, you wouldn't help me in my time of need. You don't want that. My 34 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:48,080 hands are calloused. Look at them. All right. Yeah. Um, sandpaper. You wouldn't enjoy that. 35 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,640 Neither would I. How do I clean that up? How do I, how do I wipe my, how do I like, nope. 36 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,340 How do you wipe your conscious clean after that? I don't know. Yeah. Well, like what 37 00:03:58,340 --> 00:04:05,640 if my face is itchy afterwards and I got to remember that yuck, man. No. What's wild is 38 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480 that that dude that he jerked off, I'm pretty sure killed his daughter or something. So 39 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:17,320 I don't really remember the documentary. I know that. So that dude like kidnapped his 40 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,480 daughter or something like that. It's wild. Um, there's just no excuse. Like it's just 41 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,200 kid stuff. No, that's not how kids stuff works. It's like playing doctor dude. It's fine. 42 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,700 Kid stuff is playing with Legos. All right. All right. I'm going to, yeah, there's so 43 00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:36,040 much to unpack. I just need to forget about it for now. Just answer the question. How 44 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:44,320 are you doing, bud? I am. I'm doing, I am doing wonderful. I'm about to go to California 45 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,800 for work. Hell yeah. And, uh, I had to, I have to order my hotel room through this app 46 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,960 that they have to like, like your work, like your work agent. Yeah. It's like a travel 47 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:03,200 agent thing. And, uh, so I'm staying at the four seasons in LA, which is pretty fucking 48 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,160 cool. Hell yeah, dude. It's better than the four seasons in Philadelphia, which is actually 49 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:15,280 just a landscaping company. So I should probably look and make sure I'm not staying in a landscaping 50 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,220 company. My guess is that I'm not, um, no, what happened is the hotel I normally stay 51 00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:25,080 at, there's like a convention there. So the rooms were like $500. What's the convention? 52 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:31,520 I don't know, but to stay at the four seasons, it was only like $250 a night. So I was like, 53 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,480 I'm saving the company money. I was going to say, wait, does your company not pay for 54 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,720 this? Cause you're talking about it. Like, no, no. I like, so the thing is we have a 55 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,520 rule where you got to stay, you can stay in a nicer hotel. Like you can't stay in anything 56 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,760 under three stars. Okay. Is that like a stipulation? Yeah. They don't want you to get stabbed by 57 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:56,560 a hypodermic needle when you sit down on the couch. So, so the only place that was above 58 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:03,200 three stars was the four seasons and this other hotel that it's like $500. Yeah. And 59 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,180 so I was like, well, I got to save the cheapest one. And that just happens to be the four 60 00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:11,000 seasons this time around. Oh, Hey, you know, pamper, treat yourself, bud, treat yourself. 61 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,740 Oh yeah. No, I'm very excited, especially when I, when I walk out in a tank top with 62 00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:22,320 Baphomet on it to go to the gym in the morning. That's going to be, it's LA. You know, everyone 63 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:28,480 there is, you know, satanic, that's true. Yeah. Blood drinking Charles Manson. Yeah. 64 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,080 The whole nine. Yeah. That's just LA baby. Come on. Yeah. Skid row. Just, I'm just doing 65 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,280 it up. I'm doing it LA style. Why don't you just stay the Cecil dude. Fucking drink that. 66 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:44,800 Oh God. I wish I could, but I'm, I'm, my work is like 45 minutes from there. Well, speaking 67 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,520 of, um, discussing hotels, this has nothing to do, but I, uh, I fucking got ringworm. 68 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,800 Oh my God. How did you, were you wrestling? Because it's like the only place I know you 69 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,800 can get that is in high school on a high school wrestling mat. It's basically ringworms is 70 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,280 athletes foot, not on your foot. That's it's basically the same fungus stuff like that. 71 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,780 So it's really, yeah. So it's easy. I had no idea. Yeah. So it's just athletes foot, 72 00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:14,360 but you can get it from like either like going to the gym, which I don't fucking do. Uh, 73 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,960 or they say like pets, like if I, if your pet comes in contact with it somehow and my 74 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:23,200 dogs do go outside and also sleep in my bed with me underneath the covers. Cause I'm a 75 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,140 terrible dog parent. Um, yeah, no, that's fine. I'm woefully uninformed on ringworms. 76 00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:32,400 So I genuinely thought it was some kind of bug under your skin. No, no, that's scabies. 77 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,040 You don't want scabies scabies. I knew about that. I knew about scabies cause everybody's 78 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,560 got that one kid they went to high school with, but yeah, that was me. I was the gross 79 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,240 punk kid with a fucking studded vest who got scabies more than once. I'll be honest. The 80 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,720 only reason I didn't have scabies is because I was on the swim team and they chlorinated 81 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,760 the fuck out of that pool. Yeah. See, uh, yeah. But ringworm socks, it's itchy as shit. 82 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,560 It doesn't look great. It's uh, it's like a ring. It's an actual ring. Yeah. Skin, right? 83 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,360 Yeah. It's like a, like a weird raised crusty kind of circle in the middle of it's bright 84 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,680 red. And it's itchy. It was sucks. I didn't notice I had it until like, it was like, cause 85 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,480 I don't know if you know this, but I'm not very in tune with my body. I don't. Yeah, 86 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:19,240 no, me neither. So like I noticed it itching, but there was nothing there. And then like 87 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,600 a few days later I woke up as at work actually. And I was like, why is my leg itching so bad? 88 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,240 And it was like full on ringworm at that point. Like it wasn't like that. It wasn't like the 89 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,360 beginning stages of it. Like this was like, like, so yeah, so that's what's going on in 90 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,720 my life. It's great. I love it. So I kind of like 12 minutes of this episode because 91 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:44,360 sergeant ended up sharing just a bunch of pictures of ourselves from like middle school and high 92 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:51,880 school. So the following sentence after this makes no sense, but whatever. Enjoy the fucking 93 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:58,520 episode. Are you want to dive into this episode? 94 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:05,040 Pictures of each other in our worst. I don't know. I think that was peak Dave. I don't 95 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,360 think I could ever get any hotter than that. Come on. That was a skinny, well-built boy. 96 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,960 Maybe. So for me it was, that was peak man tits. Oh, see you, I think you look good. 97 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,760 You were dapper as fuck anyways. Yeah. You know, talks, she's wearing a regular t-shirt. 98 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:27,360 I look like I was smuggling fucking bags of water balloons actually smuggling water balloons. 99 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,160 I had tits for days. Puberty hit me hard. It's for days. All right. Sorry. I got a question 100 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,960 for you. All right. You ever feel hot? And I don't mean like sexy. I know who you are. 101 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,760 You should feel like that 24 seven. I mean like temperature. I'm sexy and I know it. 102 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,800 Yeah. If you feel just like hot temperature wise all the time. Okay. All the time. I'm 103 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:53,580 a fat guy in new England. So yes, I wear, I wear shorts to the gym every morning regardless 104 00:09:53,580 --> 00:09:56,880 of what the temperature is outside. Okay. Now you ever feel so hot that you thought 105 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,160 you might just burst into flames? Yes. Yeah. I spent, I spent a couple of weeks in New 106 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:09,800 Jersey in the summertime at Fort Dix, which is mostly just a swamp. And uh, yeah, no, 107 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,040 that's exactly how I felt there. Okay. Well, saying can be said about the victims of today's 108 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:23,000 topic and that is spontaneous human combustion. Are you familiar with it? I'm a combust all 109 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,360 over that face. Sorry. I couldn't resist. Now you, now you already know that you already 110 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,560 knew the topic of today's episode and you said that you actually know, I'm not going 111 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,600 to say like, I was going to say you're an expert on it, but you know more, you probably 112 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,800 know more about this than I do because I didn't really research this until like four days 113 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:49,960 ago. So, oh man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The picture of that lady's fucking severed calf and foot 114 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:55,680 in that orthopedic shoe. Let me tell you that's haunted my nightmares ever since I was little. 115 00:10:55,680 --> 00:11:01,320 Yeah. Yeah. So I was relatively on a, like I knew spontaneous human combustion quote 116 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,120 unquote existed. And I think like you, the first time I ever heard about it was on an 117 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:12,280 episode of unsolved mysteries. Yeah. And I feel like in the nineties, like during like 118 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:17,040 with cartoons and stuff like, uh, someone actually commented this on our Instagram, 119 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,480 but like, I thought it was going to be a bigger problem growing up. Same thing with like quicksand 120 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,520 because it was kind of like, it was in a lot of media back in the day. He talked a lot 121 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:31,080 about it. It was, it was a big topic. Yeah. And not so much anymore, like, which is weird 122 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:41,880 because and I don't think quicksand is even, but yeah, so it was fascinating to kind of 123 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:48,440 to learn about because no one really knows if it's real, I guess, if that makes sense. 124 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:55,600 Like there's, yeah, it's a sort of looking for it's a scientific anomaly, a mystery, 125 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:01,280 like no one knows what's going on now. For those of you under the age of like 35, uh, 126 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:08,360 who have never probably never heard of spontaneous human combustion. Uh, it's the alleged phenomenon 127 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,880 in which a person seemingly burst into flames for just no reason. Hence the spontaneous 128 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,760 part, uh, leaving behind only like a pile of ash while their surroundings remain unscathed 129 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,520 by the flames. That's like the biggest part of spontaneous human combustion is that it's 130 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:28,640 a very localized fire to just the person who was being spontaneously combusted. Well that 131 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,800 and like the other biggest part would be like the foot you left behind. We'll get, we'll 132 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:40,840 get the rest of you is just dust. Yeah. And this has been a topic of fascination for forensic 133 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,160 scientists, paranormal researchers and skeptics alike for some time now. And I, and I mean 134 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:50,440 that in the most literal sense as the first reported case of spontaneous human combustion 135 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:58,240 was recorded in the 14 seventies. Like, so this story goes fucking way back. Uh, the 136 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,120 first reported case was of an Italian knight named Polonus, first Jewish. I don't know 137 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,200 if that's how you pronounce it, but I'm going to run with it. Close enough. Yeah. He was 138 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,760 known for being a bit of a drunk and I feel like in the 14 seventies, if you're known 139 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,920 for being a drunk, he must've been like fucking either a huge asshole or a great time. Cause 140 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,320 everyone I feel like back then. Well, I mean they drank beer because it was safer than 141 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:27,720 water. Yeah. Cause they didn't understand boiling kills. Yeah. They weren't there yet. 142 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,080 Yeah. So Polonus was enjoying some drinks with the boys when suddenly he started belching 143 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:38,480 white hot flames before just fully bursting into flames right in front of some rather 144 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:45,480 horrified witnesses. He's a spitting hot fire. Then we got the case of Nicole Mallette. She 145 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:51,240 was an in Cape innkeeper who in the 18th century was found burned, reduced to a pile of ash 146 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,380 near near her straw bed, which by the way, didn't catch fire. In this case, her husband 147 00:13:56,380 --> 00:14:00,800 was actually arrested and convicted by the authorities claiming he actually had murdered 148 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:09,500 her. Your entire house is surrounded by flammable things. Your clothes completely flammable. 149 00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:14,000 You must have killed her. No, I think it was just, you know, the flammable clothes you 150 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,200 surrounded your body in. Yeah. But maybe it was that nightly bath and kerosene that did 151 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,600 it. Look, lucky for him. Uh, there was actually a doctor who was staying at the inn at the 152 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:32,840 time and he testified that he actually witnessed her like combust and then did nothing about 153 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:39,240 it. She was probably a witch. Made no attempt to try to put her out. Uh, but because of 154 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,320 that, the husband's conviction was overturned. I don't know what they ruled the death to 155 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:51,920 actually be, but it is what it is. All right. You got to tell me though, was she hot for 156 00:14:51,920 --> 00:15:00,600 a brief moment for at least one to three hours? There wasn't misogyny. That was me making 157 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:06,040 a combustion joke. I support women. I believe all women. Nothing makes a joke funnier than 158 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,440 when you have to explain it. So I'm right there with you. But yeah, no, we also have 159 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:17,240 the case of Cornelia Zangari Bondi, an Italian countess who was discovered as nothing more 160 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,120 than a pile of ash and a pair of unburned legs. Now the unburned legs thing will become 161 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:28,280 somewhat of a running theme throughout this episode. So from now on, just expect it moving 162 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,480 forward. Whenever we talk about a cape, just assume that there will be at least one foot 163 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,680 to full two legs unscathed by fire. Would you say that her legs now went all the way 164 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:47,200 up? I don't understand that one. That's what they used to say back in the day. We 165 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,760 would have women that like long legs and legs go all the way up. Yeah. I mean, it goes all 166 00:15:51,760 --> 00:16:01,520 the way up to a pile of to nothing. So yeah. Another weird case happened in the 1800s involving 167 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,740 a French woman named Jean Safin, who was sitting in her kitchen table with her family when 168 00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:11,280 she suddenly burst into flames. Family members who witnesses reported seeing fire coming 169 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:25,840 from inside of her mouth. In this case, what's funny? Worst blowjob ever. Fucking Jesus. 170 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:42,640 Why did I go there? I don't know. We're talking too much about that dude jerking off his fucking 171 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,880 friend. That's why that's gotta be it. For those of you not watching the unedited version 172 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:53,160 of this show on Patreon, you're really missing out on some stuff. Now, in this case though, 173 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,520 the fire seemed contained to just her, meaning that even though she was burning alive from 174 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:03,240 the inside out, her clothes, her surrounding remained undamaged. Like this was like a really 175 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:11,720 internalized human combustion. Now she wasn't reduced to just ash and legs, but she obviously 176 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:19,400 died from her injuries. But the surrounding circumstances left investigators pretty stumped. 177 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:38,080 Obviously it's fucking wild. Oh God. Unintentional puns. The greatest unintentional pun. Is this 178 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:45,040 is this insensitive? I have no idea. Can you imagine? Detective shows up on the scene. 179 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:55,760 He sees two separate needs. Well, I'm stumped. But also one of the detectives puts out a 180 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:07,680 cigarette. Phil, somebody died. My favorite is like an investigator in the fuck. Yeah, 181 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,080 of course an investigator in the 1800s is going to be stumped. He's stumped by everything. 182 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:18,440 They don't. Yeah, I mean, this was a time period where they genuinely thought that they 183 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:24,440 had to take a picture of the eyes of the victim who was murdered because they thought possibly 184 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:30,600 you can imprint of the of the murderer would be on their corneas. Yeah. If the person who 185 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,760 did whatever the crime was, wasn't actively there, still committing the crime was like, 186 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:41,960 I don't listen. I don't know about it. This is yeah, this is back when blaming a ghost 187 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,680 was like a pretty common. Like, no, it's probably a ghost. It was either a ghost or plague rats. 188 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:53,360 I don't know. Yeah. Basically being a detective and a doctor both work the exact same way 189 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:59,320 back in the 1800s. It's either a ghost or it's plague rats. I mean, the only difference 190 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,480 is that doctors trying to get your blood out while the detective's trying to get it back 191 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:18,720 inside you. So we're going to we're going to fast forward now to some more modern cases 192 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,360 that fit the spontaneous human combustion mold. First up, we have probably the most 193 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:30,560 famous case of S.H.C. That's spawning. You get it. Yeah. It's just hard to say continuously. 194 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,760 But first of all, we have probably the most famous case of human combustion, and that 195 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:40,760 is the case of 67 year old Mary Reeser. Now, this is the case where that famous picture 196 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:47,320 of like the burnt chair and just the one leg next to it orthopedic. Yeah, you know, you 197 00:19:47,320 --> 00:20:02,360 know, yeah. So her story goes, well, I guess ends. And that is that on July 2nd, 1951, 198 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:06,760 Mary's landlady was stopping by Mary's place for one reason or another. It's unclear. I 199 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,520 assume it's probably just she's an old lady living in the I don't I really don't know. 200 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,760 But she became worried when Mary wasn't answering her door. So she reached for the doorknob 201 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,800 and noticed that it was very warm. Now, as we learned growing up in school, if a doorknob 202 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,160 is hot, you probably shouldn't go in. But it was just warm. So she fucking I guess braved 203 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,420 it and was like, yeah, fucking good enough. So she entered and then she found a pretty 204 00:20:29,420 --> 00:20:36,920 not great sight. That's all I got to say. Mary had been reduced to ash, only her left 205 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:44,920 foot still wearing its shoe pieces of her backbone and her skull remained. So. Pretty 206 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:50,520 horrific. What's weirder is it seemed as though her skull had shrunken and like significantly, 207 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,560 which stumped forensic investigators who said that typically extreme heat would do the exact 208 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:01,760 opposite. It would actually cause the skull to explode due to the pressure buildup of 209 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,760 your brain cooking inside of it. It's kind of like so like that scene in scanners. Yeah, 210 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,240 it's just just like that. Yeah. I was going to say it's like if you microwave an egg, 211 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:17,480 but we'll go with that. I've never microwaved an egg, but now I'm going to ruin my microwave. 212 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,800 But it makes sense though. You know, I mean, like if you cook something with a heat expanse 213 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,160 stuff like your brain would normally fucking explode at your skull if you were. Well, yeah, 214 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:33,080 your head's full of liquid and the steam blow your skull out. That's interesting actually. 215 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:38,600 Yeah. It's not great. Nope. It's going to hurt probably. You mean the splitting headache. 216 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:46,920 No, no. Just like, and just like other cases of spontaneous human combustion, her apartment 217 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,960 showed minimal signs of fire damage nearby stuff made of plastic, like outlets and light 218 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,240 switch covers, as well as like candles and other multiple items were melted or at least 219 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,160 softened by the heat. But the, you know, like the stack of newspapers just feet away from 220 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,020 her were unscathed. And there's also like a weird oily greasy residue that was found 221 00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:13,820 on the wall. And so not great. Maybe she had tried to fry a chicken that was still frozen. 222 00:22:13,820 --> 00:22:20,760 Maybe that's could also be a water. You know, it's not, not a good look. Now. So I remember 223 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:28,680 correctly though, she was like a, she was a drunk and a smoker. That didn't come up, 224 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,960 but really, we're, we're, we're sorry. We're going to get there. Okay. All right. All right. 225 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,520 All right. I'm sorry. I just, I'm very excited. Now another unsettling modern case is that 226 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:47,800 of Beatrice, a little hot under the collar. 227 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,360 No another unsettling modern case is that of Beatrice Ock ski. I don't know if I'm 228 00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:57,780 pronouncing that right, but we're going to run with it. The bowling, Brooke, Illinois. 229 00:22:57,780 --> 00:23:04,640 Now over the weekend of Thanksgiving in a, wow, I fucked that up. It puts 1797. I think 230 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:13,280 it's 1979. It's 1979. Beatrice Beatrice's daughter-in-law stopped by for a visit upon 231 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,560 arriving. She immediately smelled smoke. Now, instead of just busting into the department 232 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,280 like the landlady, she immediately goes to a neighbor's house and calls the fire department 233 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,560 instead of just barging in. And when they arrived, they walk into a scene, not too dissimilar 234 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,760 from Mary's. Again, there's nothing left of Beatrice. She was reduced to a pile of 235 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:37,000 ash. Her legs completely untouched, still resting on the floor and her shoes still firmly 236 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,480 planted on her feet. The chair she was sitting in, same thing with Mary, was obviously all 237 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,880 fucked up as long as well as like the wall behind her. But that makes sense. But not 238 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:51,160 a single sign of fire damage really anywhere else. Minus again, the usual melting and softening 239 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,200 of plastic and candles from the heat. And like the last case, a stack of newspapers 240 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,360 mirror inches away were untouched. Is that like a thing for old people? Do they just, 241 00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:04,720 I guess back in the day, like you got newspapers, what are you going to do with them? Do they 242 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,720 just have stacks of newspapers all over everywhere? It's like an absolute whole lot. It's like 243 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,280 what the fuck? Yeah, it's strange. It's strange. Maybe they were born at a time where there 244 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,880 wasn't toilet paper and so they kept the newspapers nearby. They're from the Great Depression. 245 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,040 They're like, hey, we got to really... You never know when the stock market's going 246 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,240 to crash again. Yeah. But also they were kind of like seeing into the future. They knew 247 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:34,400 that fucking 2020 was coming and that there was going to be a shortage of any sort of 248 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:42,320 sanitary paper. They just wanted to leg up on the situation. Yeah. Fuck me. This is only 249 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:49,560 two left. And just like in Mary's apartment, they found that same oily, greasy residue 250 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:56,120 covered like everything in the apartment. Now I know that feeling honestly, because 251 00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:02,280 every time I go to Taco Bell, there is an oily, greasy residue left everywhere. God damn 252 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,040 it. All right. Those are like the two most like, I guess like famous and well known modern 253 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:12,200 cases. So, but I mean, again, I didn't go into much detail about them, but you get pretty 254 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,000 much the gist of what's going on, right? Yeah. People just walk into someone's house. Only 255 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,560 he's going up in flames. Yeah. That's pretty... It seems like it's mostly old ladies. I don't 256 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,720 know why. Well, that's because like menopause dries them out. You know, it's like kindling. 257 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:39,320 Just like a husk. Oh God. I am a terrible person. That's great. Now there are a lot 258 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,080 more and I'm going to actually, I'm just going to, I'm going to rapid fire through some of 259 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:56,880 like some more, like even more modern race. So spontaneously firing. I'm going to spontaneously 260 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:06,440 fire through some even more modern, like examples of spontaneous human combustion. So in 2010 261 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,800 Galway, Ireland, we have 76 year old Michael Faraday who was found burned to death in his 262 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,280 living room. His remains were completely reduced to ash yet his surroundings showed little 263 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,560 fire damage. Now the thing about this case in a rarely seen move, the coroner actually 264 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:29,240 ruled his death spontaneous human combustion, which is fucking wild. Yeah. So that's cool. 265 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,560 No further information besides that, but that's a pretty sick thing to have like, he's probably 266 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,180 spontaneous human combustion. Dude, if I was like any of his like fucking kids or nephews 267 00:26:39,180 --> 00:26:45,000 or grandkids, I would frame that fucking death certificate in a heartbeat. Me too. That's 268 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,160 legendary status. How did grandpa Michael die spontaneous human combustion? Like that's 269 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:56,240 fucking wild. And then in 2013 Oklahoma, we have Danny Van Zant, an alcoholic and heavy 270 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,000 smoker who was found cremated in his home. Now investigators couldn't find any evidence 271 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,200 of a significant fire or even a source of a fire. The sheriff said of his remains, quote, 272 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:13,040 you could pour gasoline on someone and they wouldn't be so badly burned. End quote. I 273 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,920 mean, they say they couldn't find a source, but it could have been the things he kept 274 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:25,760 lighting on fire and then smoke it. We'll get to that. Okay. I'm not a detective, but 275 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:35,760 I, I, I did, I do have some theories. Then in 2015, Flensburg, Germany, an unnamed woman 276 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:41,240 was sitting on a park bench when multiple witnesses saw her suddenly suddenly ignite 277 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:49,820 from nowhere. No lighter, no smoking, no nothing. No source for the fire was found by investigators. 278 00:27:49,820 --> 00:27:56,360 She was severely burnt, but remained alive for a short time before she died. You know 279 00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:00,760 what they, you know what they said about her is that she's, she's really got that spark. 280 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:16,120 You know what I mean? Oh, this is a bad episode. I am on fire tonight. And there, and there 281 00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:24,080 are countless other examples, like, but like there was a one homeless guy was found sleeping 282 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:30,280 in a doorway where it was just flames shooting out from inside of his stomach. And there's 283 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,000 another one about a homeless guy, same thing, but like on a park bench, a lot of homeless 284 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:40,840 dudes, what we're finding is that it feels like dudes aren't, their spontaneous human 285 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,120 combustion is different than women's, not that it's a competition or anything sexist, 286 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:51,240 but it seems like women for the most part are usually reduced to ash and feet, but men 287 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,600 seem to, for some reason, it's just in their abdomen and it just seems to shoot white hot 288 00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,080 fire out of them. And I don't mean maybe these guys were alphas, you know, they had that, 289 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,080 that fire in their belly. Oh, is that what it was? They had two wolves raging inside 290 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:10,320 of them. Both of them are fire. Both of them are highly combustible and will destroy you 291 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:16,760 from the inside out. The dragons is, is, and they said, yeah, so there's countless examples, 292 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,720 but none of them seem to answer any of the questions that I'm sure you all have. Like 293 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:26,480 if you need at minimum 2000 degrees Fahrenheit to fully cremate a human body, how is it that 294 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:32,200 none of their homes or even like their immediate surroundings are damaged during the event? 295 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,000 What's the oily substance found in the walls and ceilings and why are there only legs left 296 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:44,840 behind in all of these cases? Well, the most widely accepted theory as to what spontaneous 297 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,560 human combustion really is, is something called the wick effect, which pretty much boils down 298 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:56,560 to the human body acts like a candle. Why is that funny? 299 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:19,360 It's a lot of boiling. Yeah. But in the colloquial sense, it boils 300 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,680 down to is that the human body acts like a candle. The clothing of a person is the wick 301 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:30,480 while the body's fat acts as a fuel. So if a person's clothing catches on fire, which 302 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,800 back in the day during like Mary's times, like a lot of stuff is made out of like nylon 303 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:40,520 or let's say begins with the P I forget that name, but polyester, polyester, which is highly 304 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:47,280 flammable and even though it burns quick, if you're, if it's smoldering, it can ignite 305 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:52,520 and then this basically happens. So the clothing of a person is the wick. Well, the body fat 306 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,800 acts like a fuel. So if a person's clothing catch fire, like say you fell asleep while 307 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:02,720 smoking a cigarette, the heat can melt body fat, which then soaks into the clothing, which 308 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,720 will sustain the combustion. So basically you're 309 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:12,440 Wait, so hold on. I'm sorry. So if this were to happen to Julius Caesar, would that be 310 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:23,280 a Roman candle? This is going to be our last episode. Thank you so much for listening. 311 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:31,560 And with that, sorry, do you want to say about, but yeah, no. So basically what it is. So 312 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:36,840 yeah, basically like if you're wearing out, if you fall asleep and like you said earlier, 313 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:43,600 a lot of these people were drunks and or whatever. So people probably people are asking like, 314 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:50,160 why didn't they like, if they're on fire, why didn't they try to move? Like, why, like 315 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,920 why would they just be like, well, this is my fate now. I just, just resigned to being 316 00:31:53,920 --> 00:32:02,280 burned alive. Well, like start said, a lot of these people were drunks or they were heavily 317 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,480 medicated in a way that prevented them from moving. So if they're on fire, they don't 318 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,760 realize they're on fire until it's too late. And then they are literally a pile of legs, 319 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:19,160 if that makes sense. It's just so weird to me that the only thing left is the legs. Well, 320 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,640 here's the thing. So with the wick effect, what this does is it creates a slow, intense 321 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,760 burn that can reach high enough temperatures to cremate a person while leaving surrounding 322 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:34,320 objects pretty much untouched. This slow burn also explains why things like legs and feet 323 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,680 remain while the rest of the body is reduced to ash since the fire consumes the more fat 324 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,600 rich areas of the body first. And if it wasn't clear by now, the oily substance that was 325 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:50,000 being found all over the place, that's just human fat being, yeah, it's not great. But 326 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:55,440 also heat rises. So if you're sitting down and your legs are, legs are out, like it's 327 00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:00,840 going to consume the more fat rich areas of your body. And if you have a body like winter 328 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:07,920 Dave, your legs are very still skinny, but you're basically from the waist up, it's, 329 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:13,720 you know, like fucking Slimer. So that's pretty much what it is. So if I were to spontaneously 330 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,720 combust my tits would be the first to go. Oh yeah. You're basically from nipple up, 331 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:24,920 you'd be done. You're just all over. Now there are some lesser known theories floating around 332 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:30,400 as to what spontaneous human combustion can be. One suggests that like gases like methane 333 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:36,440 can build up in the intestine. And if an external spark, like from static electricity or something, 334 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,200 I don't really fucking know where to somehow ignite these gases. It could be possible to 335 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,600 cause like an internal combustion. I don't genuinely know what that could be. The only 336 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,640 thing I could think of is, you know how, you know that trick where if you take a, like 337 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:54,840 a lifesaver and it's dark and you bite down on it, it sparks. Do you not know this? Oh 338 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,840 really? No. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause it. Cause how else is 339 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,440 a static electricity gonna like, the only thing I think is if you light your farts on 340 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:09,040 fire and for some reason it's just going out, it just goes in. That's the only way I could 341 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:17,960 see this even remotely being like a high degree of suction for that to work. Hey, it's like 342 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:25,540 a black hole, brown hole. All right. Now another theory is pretty much the same, but instead 343 00:34:25,540 --> 00:34:30,480 of methane, it's high levels of acetone building up in the body, which can occur in individuals 344 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,820 with diabetes or on a low carb diet. The good news is you don't need to go to the store 345 00:34:35,820 --> 00:34:40,680 when you have to clean paint off of something. So yeah, or fingernail polish, nail polish 346 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:46,320 remover. Yeah. So acetone is highly flammable and could combust if somehow it were to ignite. 347 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,920 So basically, but also what this boils down to is that if you're on the keto diet, fucking 348 00:34:50,920 --> 00:35:02,260 look out. Just moments away from just fucking blowing up. And then lastly, we have a more 349 00:35:02,260 --> 00:35:07,320 fringe idea, one with no real evidence to support it. And of course this is the more 350 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:15,640 popular theory amongst the more Alex Jonesian types out there. Gay frogs? No, this idea 351 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:24,440 involves something called the pirotron particle. It's a speculative subatomic phenomenon that 352 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:30,440 some researchers claim could trigger combustion on a cellular level. That's all there is to 353 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:37,400 know about it. Cause again, speculative, but a lot of people thoroughly enjoy this one 354 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,640 for some reason because it's the most bonkers one. So why wouldn't you go with that one? 355 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:47,840 Yeah, of course. Yeah. But no matter what the case, I don't ever want to catch on fire. 356 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:55,240 So all these theories suck, but they have it starts. That is spontaneous human combustion 357 00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:59,160 in a nutshell. Again, there's a lot to go over with all of these stories. I just try 358 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:04,080 to give you the bare bones, but I gave you all the facts you needed to get started on 359 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,600 your journey. If you want to learn more about it, it's not great. It's so weird to me that 360 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:14,120 all these people died in their living room. Is it weird? Well, yeah, cause it's a living 361 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,680 room. You know, fucking Jesus. Actually, no, there was, so there was one in Philadelphia. 362 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:24,960 I don't remember when it was, it was like 1910, something like that. It was like a doctor 363 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:36,400 and he spontaneously human combusted in his tub, I want to say. And this one, he like 364 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,120 actually like it melted the tub. I feel like tubs back then were metal, but like I think 365 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:48,440 they're like the heat from him, he did the tub up so much that it fell through the floor. 366 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:53,200 Holy shit. Yeah. I didn't, I don't know why I didn't put this in the story. There's there 367 00:36:53,200 --> 00:37:00,080 was bathing in propane. Like what the fuck? He just fucking dude's 2000 degrees of a human 368 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,560 body just burning in a metal tub. I bet it was like a real nice tub too. But it was like 369 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:13,560 a, like a, you know, you know, it was, but yeah, I mean it happens everywhere. Well, 370 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:23,080 I mean, you know, taste the meat, not the heat. So much gas. Yeah. So there you have 371 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:29,480 it. Uh, you got any thoughts, concerns, thoughts and prayers? Yeah. I mean, here's the, here's 372 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:36,160 the thing. Like just, just remember that old saying, if the doorknob's hot, probably not, 373 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:41,600 you know, don't go in. That's not the saying is it? I don't think it is. I mean, that's 374 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:47,400 actually pretty good. That's a good way to avoid a back draft. Yeah. If the doorknob's 375 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:54,720 hot, actually know what it is. It's if the doorknob's hot, better not, you know, go in. 376 00:37:54,720 --> 00:38:00,640 You could have just left it at, no, you know what? You're right. Um, but yeah, but sorry, 377 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,440 you said you've read a lot about spontaneous. Like, like what, like, is there anything that 378 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:12,280 you want to add to this? I mean, so I heard that, um, one of the theories was for a guy 379 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:19,600 who worked on a farm and he had the blue flame coming out of his, his belly and the, the, 380 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,880 they were like, oh, well the dust from corn is extremely flammable. Yeah. So was he like 381 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:31,600 ripping butts and fucking. Well, you did like, you inhaled it, you know? So that was kind 382 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,560 of the idea is that it like inhaled a lot of that dust and then the flames came out 383 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,040 and it looked like it was coming out of his stomach, but it could have been coming out 384 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,240 of his lung. Who knows? But like, but how would it ignite? Like he'd have to like be 385 00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:44,420 smoking a cigarette and like an Ember went into his, but I feel like it would extinguish 386 00:38:44,420 --> 00:38:51,080 before then. Like, well, you know, cause actually have you ever seen people light a candle just 387 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:56,720 off the smoke? No. Like they don't touch. So they blow out a candle and then they hold 388 00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:03,720 a match to the smoke and it goes up. So just the heat alone. Yeah. Well, the smoke itself 389 00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:09,960 is extremely flammable. Yeah. But like what, but what he breathed in, he breathed it in 390 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:18,200 and then he lit a cigarette and. Okay. I don't buy it. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, 391 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,360 you know, I'm going to, this is the first time I'm going to say, I don't believe in 392 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,640 spontaneous human combustion. So this, this is something I think the wick effect is clearly 393 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,720 the most, like if you're wearing a, like these, these people are like in like their fucking 394 00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:34,280 seventies, they're wearing a nylon Mumu when they're sitting in their favorite recliner 395 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:44,000 and they're smoking, they're smoking a misty light one 20, just the longest of cigarettes. 396 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,720 You know, take a couple of buddies. My buddy's mom used to smoke those and she kept them 397 00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:52,400 in the freezer. Yeah. Well, when I, when I smoked, I would buy cartons of cigarettes 398 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,880 and I put them in the freezer. I don't know if it actually does anything. Yeah. I think 399 00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:01,560 it's a new England thing. Maybe, maybe that has to be, but no, like, you know, like she's 400 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:08,440 smoking her new misty light one twenties and then fucking, you know, Matt walks over, you 401 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:13,280 take a couple of Tylenol PMs, wash it down with a nightcap of a very strong rum and Coke. 402 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:19,800 You know, you pass out, your cigarette falls on your lap. Next thing you know, just a couple 403 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:26,440 of legs. Boom. You're gone. Yeah. You're gone. I, yeah. It's such a weird phenomenon. I actually 404 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:32,360 do believe that it occurs. I just think that there's probably a natural explanation for 405 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:38,040 it. It's just not, it's not to, to be fair. I, none of these theories say there's anything 406 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,920 supernatural about it. So that, I mean, that's kind of cool. I, I, well, the, the weird particle 407 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:48,640 that doesn't exist, that's kind of weird, but I do like the fact that in none of these 408 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,600 theories was like, yeah, an aliens came down and they fucking burst her into flames. Like 409 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,640 I am grateful for that because it's, it's a little out of control. Yeah. I'm glad that 410 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:05,080 like with this one, the craziest thing is like a theoretical particle that exists. Exactly. 411 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:11,600 Okay. I'll take it. Um, but yeah, like, I don't know. I just, I'm trying to think about 412 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,360 how to phrase like Charles Dickens wrote about this. He actually killed off a character in 413 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,200 one of his books with it. Spontaneous human combustion. Yeah. Cause back in the Victorian 414 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:26,400 era, they actually believed that it was something that afflicted, uh, people who are alcoholics. 415 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,960 Well that was another thing you brought that up. Is that a lot of the people in the story, 416 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:36,240 they, they liked their fucking, they were drinking. Yeah. Mary Reeser. I remember reading 417 00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:40,760 that she was, she was drinking. Uh, she wasn't a drunk, but she, she was drinking. Well, 418 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,780 yeah, again, you got a nightcap really strong, Bacardi and Coke, something I like to call 419 00:41:44,780 --> 00:41:53,640 strict moms where it's mostly Bacardi splash of Coke for color. You know what I'm talking 420 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:59,960 about? Strict moms that become progressively nicer. Oh, it depends on the, it depends on 421 00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:09,560 how you did in school that day. You're more and more like your father. We used to call, 422 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,880 we call those strict. My grandmother drinks them, call them strict moms. She's, she's 423 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:20,520 phenomenal. She's great. But, uh, my buddy Chad, his mom drank them too. RIP Chad's mom. 424 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:26,560 Love you. Uh, we call them strict moms because she, hers were aggressive and I've never seen 425 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:33,480 it. It was like, it's mostly Bacardi with a splash of tab in it. Splash of Coke just 426 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,480 for color. It's not for flavor. It's just to make it look like you're just to change 427 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,480 the color. Just, yeah, just to make it look like you're not a fucking raging alcoholic, 428 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,880 which she didn't even need because she was already drinking brown rum. No, this is, oh 429 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,360 no, this is Bacardi silver. We're talking about just rum. Okay. No, she's drinking, 430 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,760 she's drinking the hard stuff. Yeah. We call it strict moms. That's, and that's why. Okay. 431 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,960 Uh, but yeah, you get a couple of those in the other fucking fall asleep in your fucking 432 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:02,520 nylon Moo Moo watching fucking, I don't know what it will people watch. That's fair. That 433 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:07,880 I mean, honestly, that was the first drink I had when I turned 21 and, uh, I pushed it 434 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:13,360 away because it was disgusting. Rum is awful. It tastes like cough syrup. I was drinking 435 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:19,200 way before I was 21. My first legal, no, no, I was too, but that was my first legal legally 436 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:26,880 purchased alcoholic beverage. My first legally purchased, uh, 21 year old beverage was, uh, 437 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,520 we went to this place called the Asia. It was an Asian, it was a Chinese food restaurant 438 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:40,040 over and, uh, I got four scorpion bowls for four to myself. And then it was immediately 439 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:46,000 kicked out. I drink. No, I'm surprised you didn't die to be honest. Well, to be fair, 440 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,480 I was doing a bunch of drugs in the bathroom that made my stamina pretty intense. Okay. 441 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,320 Fair enough. And then we left and then we just, we went to the liquor store and then 442 00:43:54,320 --> 00:44:01,680 we, oh yeah. All this, by the way, all this is before like 1 p.m. And then we went to 443 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:07,040 the liquor store and then we tried to find the ingredients to make scorpion bowls ourselves. 444 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:15,000 I'm not going to lie. We got pretty close. It was pretty good. Oh yeah. But anyways, 445 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,520 that's a, that's spontaneous human combustion. I feel like this episode is more for us than 446 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:24,960 it was for the listeners. It was just a, it was just a vehicle for me to make many puns 447 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,800 about catching. Yeah. This is, so technically this is absolutely 100, not one, not 100 proper. 448 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:36,880 We've done a quite a few bonus episodes. So I'm not going to say this is our 100th episode. 449 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:41,280 I feel like it's not fair, right? Yeah. But I mean, it is the hundredth episode and I 450 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:48,000 think, um, in lieu of fireworks, I think we handled it well. I think we did. Okay. When 451 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,440 it gets to the 100 proper, I think we'll do, we'll do something special. I feel like, right? 452 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,920 We'll do something good. Yeah. Yeah. I'll take off my shirt and everyone can see my 453 00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,160 giant pepperoni nipples. Yeah. Ritualistic suicide live on air. Let's fucking, let's 454 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:06,960 get it, dude. Well, uh, no, I didn't say that. Well, oh, all right. Well anyways, uh, sorry. 455 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:13,280 I was just going to show you my nipples. I wasn't going to. Oh, who's going to, you feel 456 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:17,760 like we have different ideas of how to celebrate. Nope. Let's just move on. Anyways, is there 457 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:23,520 anything you want to plug before we sign off? Nah, coloring books, I just super normal.com. 458 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,600 You can buy that. Now one of these days I'll get around to writing something with words 459 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:33,520 in it. Uh, that's it. That's all I got. All right. Uh, if you want to follow us on Instagram, 460 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:39,000 follow us on a, at a crypto cocktail, tick tock, crypto cocktail party, uh, leave us 461 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:45,800 a rating and review. It really helps the show. Uh, we've been getting a lot of new followers, 462 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,600 not so many new listeners, but a lot of new followers on the Instagram, which is fucking 463 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:56,960 wild because I posted that one fucking thing, that one thing and we gained 4,000 new followers, 464 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,600 but like 30 new lists, but you know what? I'm not going to disparage, you know, it's 465 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:07,600 whatever is fine. Um, yeah, these are a review. It's great. Uh, enjoy Narragansett. It's a 466 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:13,000 great beer. Drink Narragansett. I'm drinking it right now. I'm drinking the, the, uh, the 467 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:20,040 Dell Shandy Narragansett. Yeah. I also really liked the iced tea. Oh, we did have an iced 468 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,680 tea, dude. I hate that you live so close to the brewery and I'm so far away. All I got 469 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:28,360 is fucking loggers. I have a year supply of logger in my basement and I'm tired of it. 470 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:36,840 Cam. Well, they will fund you to come up here. I know. We'll, we'll talk about it. Um, also- 471 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,560 Because if you come up here, just imagine the shenanigans we could get up to in Providence, 472 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:46,000 Rhode Island. I'm, I'm a shenanigan master and it won't be good. I'll want to vandalize 473 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,560 stuff and I will want to break things. I'm not- 474 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:53,200 Me and Cam can hold you back a little bit, but we could do karaoke. Okay. And then we 475 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,400 can fight a cop. We can do Beastie Boys karaoke cause now there's going to be three of us. 476 00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:02,760 Yeah, but I'm, I can't do bars. I can, I can do the, yeah. Okay. Like I can do the- 477 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,560 Great. Great. I'll pick a rap song where all you've got to do is the little John part. 478 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:14,800 I'm just a hype man. That's all I, I'm a really good hype man. Um, what else? Oh, uh, CryptoCamp. 479 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,240 The Kickstarter ended, but they hopefully should be coming soon. I think March or something 480 00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:23,560 like that. So, you know, definitely you're gonna follow. And then after that, obviously 481 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:30,160 there's going to be base at one should be great. Uh, so go follow CryptoCamp Instagram, 482 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:35,280 obviously CryptoCamp, check them out. And I think I don't have anything else I want 483 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:43,440 to plug. I think that's it. Oh, uh, listen to, there's two bands you should listen to 484 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:48,800 killed by Eddie and cool parents. Listen to both those bands. They're phenomenal. Uh, 485 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:53,440 killed by Eddie surprise may or may not be making new intro music for us because I'm 486 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:58,760 tired of our intro music and it's going to be fucking baller. Sarge has no idea. This 487 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,480 has already been happening. It's been like two weeks in the work. I think they're in 488 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:06,800 the studio now recording. So I'm ready for it. Please give me lyrics that I can shout. 489 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:11,600 Oh yeah. It's going to be, it's going to be phenomenal. Uh, but with that out of the way, 490 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:17,720 Sarge, do you want to say goodbye? And I love you to the audience. Hey audience, goodbye. 491 00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:42,720 I love you.
