Ed Larson
There's no place to escape to. This is the last on the left side stories.
Henry Zabrowski
That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes. I think we're gonna have to reevaluate our friendship. Eddie.
Ed Larson
What happened? What are you talking about?
Henry Zabrowski
Because.
Ed Larson
Do you want to scale it back a little bit? Because I could scale it back.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm just saying. No, no. Unfortunately, no. We can only scale. We have to scale up. We have to scale up. But I saw these. I was reading some research for this week's episode of last podcast. On the left.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
And they were talking about how Abraham Lincoln, you guys know the 16th president, he get a very, very good friend named William Green while he was in his 20s and they.
Ed Larson
I like to call him Billy Weed.
Henry Zabrowski
Bill. Billy Weeds.
Ed Larson
Billy.
Henry Zabrowski
Billy Weed. Billy Nugs. And Lincoln and him shared a cot together and they slept chest to chest each night for. For years. They slept chest to chest. And these guys are best friends. Breast friends.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Chest to chest.
Henry Zabrowski
Exactly. But you know, he had the true bravery to say that his best friend, Abraham Lincoln. Straight married.
Ed Larson
Not at that point, I don't think.
Henry Zabrowski
Not married. Yeah, but he said that. That he, quote, wrote in his journal that Lincoln's thighs were as perfect as a human beings could be.
Ed Larson
Yeah, I bet he was a wrestler.
Henry Zabrowski
Why have you never said that about me?
Ed Larson
You don't have perfect thighs.
Henry Zabrowski
My thighs are fine.
Ed Larson
Best part of me they've ever been. Yeah, they're the best part of you, but they're not great.
Henry Zabrowski
You don't think that my thighs aren't great?
Ed Larson
I think Ronnie Coleman has great thighs, but I don't think that you.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, Ronnie Coleman, he worked himself into paralysis.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
I won't ever do that.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
I'll make sure I could jump and flit and kick and dance and tap.
Ed Larson
You know, honestly, I don't think I've seen your thighs in a while.
Henry Zabrowski
You want to?
Ed Larson
Sure.
Henry Zabrowski
Rob. Look away.
Ed Larson
Flex them.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, my God.
Ed Larson
They're good. They're fine. There's no definition.
Henry Zabrowski
You're my best friend.
Ed Larson
I am. I'm being your best friend right now. I let you take your pants off and I'm staring at your thighs. Who else is going to let you do this?
Henry Zabrowski
The President of the United States best friend looked at his thighs.
Ed Larson
Jeffrey Epstein. Yes. When he was.
Henry Zabrowski
Honestly, he was more like Bill Clinton. If you read the documents, Bill Clinton's on there a little bit more. Welcome to side Stories. My name is Henry Zabrowski.
Ed Larson
See, you have great thighs.
Henry Zabrowski
And before that, you get introduced Ed Larson.
Ed Larson
How are you doing? Yes. They look so good. They should be fried.
Henry Zabrowski
I'll take that.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm hungry.
Ed Larson
They're good. I'm very hungry. But we, you know, we don't eat here at last Podcast in the left. We won't. We only. We only do the news.
Henry Zabrowski
That's it. That's all we do. And stare at the back of our World Trade center effigy that's currently sitting on the table here today that is about to make its first trip to Indio Wells for contact in the desert.
Ed Larson
You know, I think they should change the name to Indio Finds.
Henry Zabrowski
It's definitely Indio Fines. But it's a. It's a nice place. It's got. Honestly, you're gonna have to come and check out what we're gonna do with this World Trade center effigy.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
This Saturday.
Ed Larson
Saturday night.
Henry Zabrowski
Coming over to Contact in the Desert in. If you're in the Los Angeles area, we are doing this wonderful, wonderful comedy of the biggest UFO weekend in the world. And it is going to get some people upset.
Ed Larson
Yes. Comedy goes really well in the middle of a conference hall.
Henry Zabrowski
It really does.
Ed Larson
I remember last year at the comedy show.
Henry Zabrowski
Wow.
Ed Larson
Right before I went on 3:30pm oh, yeah. They did me the favor of getting rid of all the chairs.
Henry Zabrowski
I remember when they said that you were like, we don't want people to be, like, hanging out. We're like, it's an Hour long show. But this year it's going to be different and you're going to see is separate from the main events. It's going to be a nighttime event and we are going to bring. We're bringing out all the stops. I'm going to be doing a live UFO mandate. We have some guest comedians like Billy Wayne Davis, one of a big friend.
Ed Larson
Of the show, Amber Nelson, Travis Irvine. It's going to be amazing.
Henry Zabrowski
We're going to have a lot of fun. And then also we're going to be doing a live. We're going to be doing a live taped podcast that. Oh. You can be a part of the live studio audience for. With Whitley Streber.
Ed Larson
We put headphones on everybody. Right. That's what we did last year. Are we doing that again, Rob?
Henry Zabrowski
I don't know. We'll see. We'll find out.
Ed Larson
When we did interview Dave Foley, everyone got headphones and it was a very interesting experience.
Henry Zabrowski
It was very intimate. It's like a silent disco. Oh, yes. But. And I believe Whitley knows this. We're going to be playing Hot Ones.
Ed Larson
Yeah. With Whitley.
Henry Zabrowski
I am really excited for that. I got Pepto already.
Ed Larson
Great. He's going to need it.
Henry Zabrowski
He's going to need. To be honest, we might need a doctor.
Ed Larson
We were talking. Kelly said she was going to go to Wingstop. We might need to find somewhere slightly better.
Henry Zabrowski
What's better? I don't know.
Ed Larson
Wing stop's not great, but stop.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean it's. I mean, unfortunately it's Palm Springs. It's not Chicken Wing World.
Ed Larson
I know.
Henry Zabrowski
Side stories. LPOTL gmail.com if you're in the Palm Springs area, where do you get your chicken wings?
Ed Larson
I have a Margaritaville in Palm Springs. We can get them from there.
Henry Zabrowski
They're not as good. I mean, I'd rather have Wingstop Wingstop than Margaritaville. Very much so.
Ed Larson
You are being bad.
Henry Zabrowski
I am not bad.
Ed Larson
You are being bad.
Henry Zabrowski
No, I like a better chicken wing.
Ed Larson
I go, I think Margaritaville corporate office, Florida Wingstop corporate office, Dallas.
Henry Zabrowski
Okay.
Ed Larson
Yeah. That's kind of how I go with that.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, I could see that. Yeah, I could see that. But still it's Palm Springs.
Ed Larson
I wish we had a flanigans out here.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. I mean, nothing. Every single day.
Ed Larson
Flan.
Henry Zabrowski
I pray for a flan.
Ed Larson
God, I love that place.
Henry Zabrowski
It's fine.
Ed Larson
But you know, we're going to have a great time at contact in the desert. We're also going to be doing a bunch of interviews that are not going to be for, you know, an audience that we're going to release later on in the month.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm introducing Ed Larson to some true. I'm not even. I'm not gonna say the word kook.
Ed Larson
You just did.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm just saying that we're gonna meet some real members of the ufological society.
Ed Larson
You're there to learn.
Henry Zabrowski
You've only met classy people so far.
Ed Larson
Nick Pope. Classy, vaguely, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And then we got the George Knapp. The most classic, the most.
Ed Larson
Oh my God, that hair.
Henry Zabrowski
High end. High, high, high end.
Ed Larson
God.
Henry Zabrowski
We're gonna see some guys or a little bit lower on the ladder, but they're going to be just as incredible as anything else. And we might get you hypnotized.
Ed Larson
I got to say, lower on the ladder, probably better interview because they're, you know, they're not thinking about what they say. No, and I appreciate that. I like a little loose, loosey goosey on the old lips.
Henry Zabrowski
Same thing. I like somebody who doesn't quite understand that the Internet is forever. That's one of my favorite attributes of someone old.
Ed Larson
How are we going to destroy this again? Because you set it on fire.
Henry Zabrowski
We're going to find out.
Ed Larson
I think that's a bad idea to do indoors.
Henry Zabrowski
We've already been told to not set it ablaze due to the problems with Michael Sedona's original World Trade center effigy burning and the issues that caused.
Ed Larson
So member had to put it out with Gatorade.
Henry Zabrowski
Yep, I remember which is the most that Gatorade served its purpose. The entire weekend. I will say that that's where the last the time. That's the only place I saw electrolytes at work.
Ed Larson
I heard it's going to be 106 degrees.
Henry Zabrowski
It's going to be real hot, buddy. And guess where you're going to see us. By the pool. And that's why if you wanted to have any sort of unofficial conference time with me and you're coming to contact in the desert. Bring your bathing suit. I am sick of this. We're not all just gonna be hanging inside talking. We're gonna be in the pool this year.
Ed Larson
I can only rub so many crystals.
Henry Zabrowski
I need you to come to the pool. You know, we need to be drunk in the pool. We can get into the real stuff in the pool.
Ed Larson
What time's the pool close?
Henry Zabrowski
I don't give a shit.
Ed Larson
Like a late night pool.
Henry Zabrowski
Pull me out. Yeah, you have to fish me out.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Time to go, sir.
Henry Zabrowski
I want that on me.
Ed Larson
And I was. What I Be like, I'm a bonvoy member. I'm a bonvoy member.
Henry Zabrowski
Which gets you anywhere. It gets you everywhere. All right, we got some updates before we get into the rest of this. Annabelle's gone. Now.
Ed Larson
There's a lot maybe. All right, we are. There is a lot going on here. We've gotten some tips. Thank you. For everyone who's reached out saying that Annabelle is missing. Annabelle's been kidnapped.
Henry Zabrowski
They're saying Annabelle is missing.
Ed Larson
The war in the state says no.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, because who does this benefit? The Warren estate? Because the Warren estate doesn't want to believe that the. The weird relative that they let take Annabelle out of her little protective case out into the world so that she could finally go get woke. Burn down a plantation. Yeah. Free all those prisoners. She's a full leftist anarchist renegade.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Now she's free. Oh, she's in Tifa.
Ed Larson
Annabelle Tifa.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. She's all about Tifa. And so she's out there. But now. So, yes, obviously, the people. The person that was responsible for Annabelle. What's his name again? This. This isn't it.
Ed Larson
Warren's son, whatever he is, he looks.
Henry Zabrowski
Like a guy that would lose Annabelle. He looks like. He looks like the competing tiger, like, zoo owner in the Joe Exotic documentary series because he's got that, like, LA hat culture thing going on. So what's his name? Rob. It's at Annabelle tour. Okay. So he's doing it through the Annabelle socials where he's saying there's no way Annabelle's gone. We. Annabelle is absolutely fine. She's not missing, was never in Chicago, is not there. Then he shows this video being. Look, here's Annabelle. It's in the occult museum, which could have been filmed at any time. All of this could have been filmed at any time. I actually, I'm watching this Cho talk. I. I think that's green screen.
Ed Larson
Whoa.
Henry Zabrowski
Tik Tok. He's. Tik tocked it. That is a green screen. Does that not look like he's in front of a green screen?
Ed Larson
Well, he's. He's putting his face over the.
Henry Zabrowski
The footage, which could have been shot. Which is a lie. This is a lie, dude.
Ed Larson
Instagram Live is the only way to prove this.
Henry Zabrowski
Put a newspaper in front of Annabelle. Because right now, as far as I'm concerned, Annabelle's on her way to the fucking White House and I'm cheering her on.
Ed Larson
Yeah, I don't think. Yeah. That. I need proof right now. I don't have proof.
Henry Zabrowski
You just keep saying you want us to just believe that Annabelle's not missing. That's fine. I got messages from at least a dozen people, all connected truly within the oddities community. And if anybody knows, man, I hate to say this, fucking Annabelle representatives, but I've got my sparrows everywhere. Yeah, I've got my little spiders everywhere. And they've got the ears on spiders with ears. And they hear all your moves, dude.
Ed Larson
Yeah, and for the record, we didn't even ask for these sparrows. No, they just come squawking.
Henry Zabrowski
But now I feed them little bits of seeds, little bits of rum. Seeds and rum for my sparrows because, oh, I treat them well because their eyes and their ears are open for all the information that I need.
Ed Larson
You know what I think happened? I think this guy hitting the road with Annabelle first time, like, because honestly, your first time hitting the road, you get a little full of yourself, get a little excited. You party too much, you party too much, you make some bad choices. I bet. Man's drunk and he's like, yeah, you can borrow Annabelle.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, sure. He's talking to some 25 year old.
Ed Larson
She just got to be in Illinois.
Henry Zabrowski
By October, where he's putting Annabelle on the shoulders of some 24 year old, like, who's going to come in and try to take over the Warren Museum. Because that's what these 24 year olds do. Now. We saw that with Bill Belichick. They're coming in there to take care of or take over our establishments. That's what we're doing here. And they're trying to get through. Look at this guy. This guy is up. No name for this guy yet.
Ed Larson
I don't trust him.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, this guy is a target.
Ed Larson
I want to try.
Henry Zabrowski
Him out. Let's hear him out real quick. Hey, guys, this is Dan. I'm here right at the museum right now. I just want to show you guys that Annabelle is in the Warren's Occult Museum. And let's go inside and let's check cuts to footage that he's not in that could have been done at any corner. And who's there? I don't know. Annabelle. He could have recorded this over this. Annabelle's not. Now he's put himself. He's not in Chicago. Oh, all right.
Ed Larson
Although it looks expo.
Henry Zabrowski
That is a green screen dog. No way. That is it. He is putting himself in that footage. Tickets for that, you guys go to warrensconvention.com but he's still promoing the event.
Ed Larson
Where he says she's gonna be it.
Henry Zabrowski
They've replaced Annabelle Also, Annabelle's just an.
Ed Larson
Old Raggedy Ann doll. They. It's very replaceable.
Henry Zabrowski
They've replaced Annabelle and she looks brand new.
Ed Larson
Why doesn't she look old?
Henry Zabrowski
I don't know. I'm just saying. I know a lot of people say, like, you know, you don't want to fuel misinformation and shit.
Ed Larson
This isn't.
Henry Zabrowski
We're.
Ed Larson
We're investigating.
Henry Zabrowski
I honestly, I need information, side stories. LPOTL gmail.com, if Ms. Sparrows are out there, I need you to give me a bit more tweets here and there.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Because what I think is going on here is that he. Yes, I already see the situation. A 23 year old with a leather cowboy hat on and a halter top that says, hey, look at these. And she's talking to him and he's just going like, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna charge that about right now. I'm super all about protecting little women from ghosts and shit. And she's like, oh, God, this is amazing. Unbelievable. You know, I'm believing, so I'm going home with my girls. He's like, no, wait, no, I got her in her fucking cage right here. And he goes and he pulls out Annabelle.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And they're like, oh, my God. Oh, shit, he's dead.
Ed Larson
It's Annabelle.
Henry Zabrowski
He's like, hey, you want. You guys want pictures with Annabelle? And they're like, yeah, you bet. You're back. And then, like, they're all taking pictures with Annabelle. He's doing a bunch of shots and they're getting the blow job shots. They're getting all that kind of stuff going on. Annabelle's. Then they're doing karaoke.
Ed Larson
I'm just saying that she is in way too good of condition for being for the 60s.
Henry Zabrowski
This is what they said about Jill Biden. Good one. Thank you.
Ed Larson
Really, thank you.
Henry Zabrowski
But don't. Yes. The Warren, the Warren family and their museum and the Warren Occult Museum saying, oh, don't worry. Where is. No way. Annabelle is gone. But we want to see a picture of Annabelle with the fucking newspaper in front of her face. Because if not, I'm meeting her at the front steps of the Capitol building. And I invite you, Annabelle, to come with me on our brand new April. ON Brand new August 9th. Insurrection. Yep. I'm planning it now.
Ed Larson
August 9th.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. So everybody come meet me there. It's gonna be me, Annabelle, the Green Lantern. We're going to take down the White House together as a team. His name is Dan Rivera.
Ed Larson
Thank you. All right. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, he's With Nesper. Yes, I know about Nesper. Yeah. Please.
Ed Larson
What's Nesper?
Henry Zabrowski
That is a. The New England Society for Psychic Research. I would love for them to reach out. So if you want to possibly defend yourself or wonder about, like. Because I still think. I think Annabelle's out there. I think Annabelle's gonna end up joining Doge. I don't know what's gonna happen.
Ed Larson
Yes. And for the record, we're not anti Annabelle.
Henry Zabrowski
No, I'm. Right now. I'm willing to see her out. Yeah, I kind of want to see what she does. She burned down a plantation. Was kind of fun. I got some great emails on why plantations are bad.
Ed Larson
Oh, really? Why are they bad in Skype?
Henry Zabrowski
Super bad history.
Ed Larson
Really?
Henry Zabrowski
Yep. And then he brought one of those down. She freed a bunch of prisoners, which, again, largely neutral, except for the fact a lot of them were murderers and rapists.
Ed Larson
Well, Annabelle is partial to murderers.
Henry Zabrowski
She is.
Ed Larson
She likes murderers.
Henry Zabrowski
She does.
Ed Larson
I think there's one living inside of her. Correct?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, I think so.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Brad Dwarf.
Ed Larson
Yeah, Pretty certain. I know, I know. I'm. I'm a Robert boy through and through, you know, But Annabelle, I'm down to hang, and if you want to, Robert, I'm your in. You want to get down like, you want to get some weird ass doll sex with Robert, come talk to me.
Henry Zabrowski
I just heard from the little Robert doll that you have. You just went like. Yeah, you bet.
Ed Larson
Yeah, man. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
You better lay that pipe.
Ed Larson
I'm gonna turn that out.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, you bring her out here once you go, Robert, you don't go backward.
Ed Larson
That's right, man. She gonna need more stitches when I'm done with her.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna make her mouth open.
Ed Larson
That's right.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, Robert. Yeah.
Ed Larson
Hey.
Henry Zabrowski
Hey.
Ed Larson
I know you're a sailor, but. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Holy.
Ed Larson
Week.
Henry Zabrowski
Hey, I know you're horny as hell, but. No, this is. Yeah. Annabelle's out there and she is going to affect the stock market. And I think that is going to be one of the bigger problems that we're going to see.
Ed Larson
It's a regular Raggedy Ann doll. They can make these. They could be. She could be 10 places at once as far as I'm concerned.
Henry Zabrowski
That's what I would do.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
If I was Dan Spivera. Whatever his name is.
Ed Larson
Why is she in such great condition if she is such a murderer?
Henry Zabrowski
It's a narcissist.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
They take great care of themselves.
Ed Larson
That's a good point.
Henry Zabrowski
That's what happens.
Ed Larson
I mean, Lori Valor looks Like now.
Henry Zabrowski
But it's only because you can't be. It's hard to work out where she is and she's too busy.
Ed Larson
It's prison. That's all they do.
Henry Zabrowski
She literally is spending her days writing nonsense pages, long declarations and motions to this judge, this long suffering judge that is now a part of her. This is now her second trial of two within. She has had three trials and this is the. But two were back to back. So now she's still in Arizona. She's still her own representative.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
And she's still pro se. And it's the same judge. And the judge is getting over it. You can tell the judges, oh my God.
Ed Larson
Just wants to go back to being a normal judge again.
Henry Zabrowski
So sick of dealing with things not.
Ed Larson
Getting solved and like case is not getting closed because she's tormenting everybody and she's just.
Henry Zabrowski
She's a. She's a villain. She's a literal true villain.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
She's a homicidal maniac. And looks like it looks gets more and more in hinge every day. She's trying to get. She tried to get a new trial, try to get the judge recused. She tried to do all of this stuff and she's just writing all day, just sitting in her cell like she should be working out.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Because honestly, getting swole is the new thing for chicks.
Ed Larson
I gotta tell you, it's crazy that I like Annabelle the doll more than Lori Vallow.
Henry Zabrowski
I would rather have lunch with Annabelle the doll. Yes.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Yeah. I'd sit next to a doll that's just us sitting there.
Henry Zabrowski
That's of course it'd be much better.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Much better.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. I'd rather. Yeah, I'd rather go on a date with Annabelle.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Versus Lori Valley.
Ed Larson
You got to be respectful.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
And don't drive on a motorcycle with your girlfriend.

Ed Larson
We have a. We have another update, which is you guys. Very interesting.
Henry Zabrowski
These are we talked about last week about the story of a guy who got the tip of his finger. The meat.
Ed Larson
Casper. Casper.
Henry Zabrowski
He got the meat ripped off the edge of his finger. It's called de gloving. Right. When they strip so bit into his hands. It was like we had a biter guy last week that we were covering.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And we got such horrific emails. Imagery from surgeons that have sent all of the things that you can do to fingers. What you can do to fix a finger, what you could do to pop new meat on the finger. And it. It is rough.
Ed Larson
It's wild.
Henry Zabrowski
This one right here where it shows that you could reattach the finger by attaching a lump of your belly meat. So it's like you take the. What's left of the nubbin on your finger and you make a tube out of skin from your belly and then you wrap it around the edge of that finger while you're. I guess you're sleepy.
Ed Larson
The bone. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
You got to be asleep for this.
Ed Larson
Of course, you're asleep.
Henry Zabrowski
Do you stay awake for it being attached, even full of stomach, but then the fingers attach to you to your own stomach so that it could grow back. Yes, but is that then.
Ed Larson
Well, it's.
Henry Zabrowski
You walk around like that like you're a teacup.
Ed Larson
Do you have that picture, Rob? Let me throw that picture up real quick.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, you want to look at it?
Ed Larson
So basically I'm looking at it right now. So basically, this guy's middle finger was stripped. The meat was stripped off, and it's just the bone. And the bone needs blood to live because the bone is also alive.
Henry Zabrowski
The bone is alive.
Ed Larson
And so what they did was they grafted a bunch of the stomach skin around this guy's finger, go down, and then they attached it to him, and while it grew back around. So he's gonna have like a weird, formless middle finger, which will be so much more insulting. I mean, honestly, when you flick it.
Henry Zabrowski
At somebody, I'm gonna put it this way, you can hear this, Eddie, and you probably should because you probably be with me.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
If it goes that far, chop it off. Yeah, I don't need a. I don't need a floppy, useless finger. For aesthetic reasons, I'd rather have no finger.
Ed Larson
I think the finger is okay to.
Henry Zabrowski
Lose because then it's like you got a story. You got new ways to finger your wife. You got new. It's new feelings.
Ed Larson
Can't.
Henry Zabrowski
If it's gone well, no, then you just. Then you switch to these two.
Ed Larson
It's like, oh, baby, would you like less finger? But I would just try explaining that.
Henry Zabrowski
You mash these up in there, right? Or hitchhiker.
Ed Larson
Hitchhiker.
Henry Zabrowski
Hit her with the hitchhiker.
Ed Larson
Oh, okay.
Henry Zabrowski
No one does that. Yeah, no one ever hits her with the Roman.
Ed Larson
Does yours go backwards? Because if it doesn't go backwards, I'm supposed to not trust you. Okay, good. Yeah. Well, did you ever hear that if you're hit, if your thumb doesn't go backwards, you're supposed to not trust that person? Like if your thumb just goes straight up, like they're supposed to be evil.
Henry Zabrowski
This is stuff you learned in prison.
Ed Larson
This stuff my mom taught me. She said don't. Don't trust people that their thumb doesn't go backwards. She's very superstition.
Henry Zabrowski
Very su. Yeah, that was the whole thing my mom was doing.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah. You gotta. Yeah. So if they don't, their thumb does it. Rob, does your thumb go backwards? Let me see it.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ed Larson
Good, good, good, good.
Henry Zabrowski
That goes very far back.
Ed Larson
We should have checked that months ago.
Henry Zabrowski
Before I hired you. All right.
Ed Larson
Well, yeah, they use leeches also to suck the blood out. If there's. If they put the meat in the blood, if they put the skin around the bone and there's no meat in there, it gets filled with blood. And the only way to get the old blood out is to have medical leeches. And sometimes you have to get special medical leeches that have to be flown in, like, organs.
Henry Zabrowski
Wow.
Ed Larson
Which is cool.
Henry Zabrowski
Then cuts to the leech dealers, you know, for the fact that the leech dealers have their own problems with each other. And there's better leech dealers. You know, that's like one of those funny things about, like, any form of any business slash art, where then, like, you know that there's politics in the medical leech world. Oh, well, platinum leeches is definitely. They win the award each year for best leeches. And, like, you know, they have to go to some ward contest for breeding leeches.
Ed Larson
These leeches only take human blood.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, yeah. These leeches.
Ed Larson
These are actually typo negative.
Henry Zabrowski
If you could just.
Ed Larson
Yeah. If you don't mind, they're very particular.
Henry Zabrowski
And these leeches are raised only to take llama blood. For when we want to put leeches on a llama. That's just fun for us. Some people like to. So that's a. That's. Lily. That's. Most of this is just. There's a lot of medical information that they sent us that we're not going to read.
Ed Larson
Yeah. We're not doctors, but apparently you can just reattach. You could tie it. You can sew it to the finger next to it sometimes. Sometimes the palm, and it'll regrow once you sew it to another part of your body. And then once it regrows, you detach it and you got a finger again.
Henry Zabrowski
Good Lord.
Ed Larson
So that's cool. That is very cool.
Henry Zabrowski
But it's you really. The idea. So in your own. Sewing your own finger to your hand and then letting it cook there for a while.
Ed Larson
I love it.
Henry Zabrowski
Humans are crazy, man. Human. The human meat bag is a very interesting thing, and it's just important to remember that we all eventually head towards the grave.
Ed Larson
Yum, yum. Give me some.
Henry Zabrowski
All right, let's go to this story. Now. This was my favorite story of the week.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
Natalie sent this to me originally, and then we got a bunch of emails on this. And this is just another of, like, crypto sounds rough, dog.
Ed Larson
Oh, yes, this one. Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, Crypto sounds rough. The old days, you know, like you just keep your money in a bank. It's hard to get at people who carry their crypto around. It seems kind of. I think it seems irresponsible. If I had crypto, I'd bury it in the ground.
Ed Larson
I don't think you can though. You put it on a hard drive and bury the hard drive.
Henry Zabrowski
I guess, yeah. But I just don't even really understand. I'll never understand why you need a hard drive and why it can't just be on the cloud. Because if it's fake money anyway, but blah, blah, blah. Again, everyone's yelling at me. I don't understand economics and I never will.
Ed Larson
I had a meeting with a financial advisor who told me to get in the crypto and I just stopped talking to him.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes, I, my, my guy specifically said don't get into it right now.
Ed Larson
Yeah, it seems like a bad idea.
Henry Zabrowski
I just don't really want to. And I don't want to get.
Ed Larson
Doesn't make sense. I don't have less money.
Henry Zabrowski
I don't need to give money to people that are like. At least sometimes when I give money to a big corporation, yes, it is to a bunch of criminals, but then I get something in return.
Ed Larson
I feel like when you start dealing in crypto, you start dealing with weird Internet criminals somehow, you know, and it's just like I don't trust it at all.
Henry Zabrowski
No, because it's, it's for grifters. But I also understand people have made quite a bit of crypto money on crypto. But I do think it was because you got in like 15 years ago.
Ed Larson
But also other side of it. I just thought of this.
Henry Zabrowski
Fudge.
Ed Larson
The bank.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, fuck the bank.
Ed Larson
Fuck the bank.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, I'm not.
Ed Larson
Why am I trusting the bank?
Henry Zabrowski
I hate the bank.
Ed Larson
Me more than a crypto. It hates me.
Henry Zabrowski
I hate both.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, I hate both. The money's not real.
Henry Zabrowski
Yep. No it's not. So this story is an example of when you really believe money is real. Italian tourist allegedly kidnapped and tortured for weeks by a crypto trader in swanky New York City apartment. So this guy was renting a $30,000 a month like mansion in Manhattan, which is definitely not worth it. But this Italian tourist who this guy was working with the guy that the Italian tourist went to the suspects place to visit America. Man by the name of John Waltz, who's 37, he's from Kentucky, he lived in Nolita, which is. You only call it no leader if you have money in Manhattan.
Ed Larson
Where is that exactly?
Henry Zabrowski
I couldn't even possibly care.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
It's one of those micro neighborhoods in Manhattan that really only exists as a. In my term, as like, essentially a real estate way of giving, of making you make money. Yeah, it's like right above of like, it's in the house scenario.
Ed Larson
Okay. It's basically. They don't want to. It's almost Alphabet. It's the East Village.
Henry Zabrowski
It's Soho. Yeah, it's so and so. You could. Very, very expensive. So this guy was working with this Italian tourist, and apparently they had made a couple crypto deals before, and they had a big falling out. But then the. The Italian, like, they cut off. Worker with this guy. He's like, I don't want to work with you anymore. And somehow this suspect, John Waltz, convinced him to come back to America and say, hey, we're good. Let's do this. Cut to. He lands in America, meets up with his buddy. He then, I guess tied him to a chair, gagged him, did all this to him, like, beat the out of. He said the one thing, one interesting torture I heard that he was doing to him was that he was putting his feet in a bucket of water and tasing him because apparently it extra hurts you when you do that.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
He also was doing a lot of stuff, like, you know, tacking his fingernails, hitting him with a hammer, hitting his knees a lot, doing that style of chainsaw.
Ed Larson
But he didn't use it.
Henry Zabrowski
No. He kept going like, you're gonna give you the chainsaw, Gonna give you the chainsaw. Because the problem is, is that he couldn't give him the chainsaw because the guy had the code to his crypto banking hard drive. So the guy had his crypto banking hard drive there with him that he was trying to get. It doesn't say how much money was in it.
Ed Larson
It.
Henry Zabrowski
No, but it sounded. Might have been quite a bit. It sounded like it might have been in the millions. And the man was tortured for two weeks, but then he managed to escape. There's been no details about how he escaped yet, but it's a. That's a long time to torture somebody also.
Ed Larson
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
Henry Zabrowski
Especially that pro rate.
Ed Larson
I don't want to be this kind of guy, but Italians are going to escape.
Henry Zabrowski
They're slippery.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, They're. They're going to get out of there.
Henry Zabrowski
They just.
Ed Larson
That's all you have, like a professional, like, like prison. Prison. Italians are getting out.
Henry Zabrowski
Unless you put his mother in there with him, he's gonna leave. Breaking news. We have a second Suspect arrested in the crypto kidnapping torture case as of 11:30 this morning. Oh, wow. There was a guy that was with him that he. I guess he did. He turned himself in as well. William Duplessis has scored.
Ed Larson
Oh, he's rolling.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Look at that guy.
Ed Larson
That's a roller right there. He's rolling on his. Dude, he's. Yeah, he's like.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. He's gonna. I'm gonna go go fix this for myself.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And that's always the key, guys. I. I'll never say this enough to my. To our crew. Always flip first.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
If you're talking.
Ed Larson
If you're gonna flip, don't wait.
Henry Zabrowski
Don't wait. Yeah, yeah. Either flip or don't flip immediately. Just remember this. I also want to say, like, every single time you believe that some other criminal is going to honor the bond amongst criminals and they're going to do things in a way to protect you, remember that. That's not going to happen.
Ed Larson
No ever.
Henry Zabrowski
Anybody who's also a criminal, it's going to be a criminal. So you're a criminal, They're a criminal. You're both independent criminals, even if you're on the same team. Just not just how it works.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Also I want to say waltz. When they arrested him, they arrested him in his bathrobe and he. Perp walked him outside of his fancy apartment and his.
Henry Zabrowski
His penis.
Ed Larson
His dick came out. Yeah. It's kind of funny. And everyone. That's all TMZ saying about the story.
Henry Zabrowski
That's all they're saying. I will say though, like, I. I don't understand why. Like, I've never been. Unless I'm out of a shower, if I'm in the robe, I'm at least in my underwear.
Ed Larson
Can I ask you a question about kidnapping, hypothetically?
Henry Zabrowski
Sure.
Ed Larson
So you. You have someone kidnapped in your house for two weeks?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Yep. What hassle.
Ed Larson
What are you feeding them? You got to feed him something if you want to keep them alive.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, I probably. To be honest, I'd probably feed him well, cuz I want him farting and. And everywhere.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah. Let him in his own sitting. His own.
Henry Zabrowski
So I'd probably give him a nice couple, like an egg white omelette in the morning.
Ed Larson
Well, that's not a shitty. You. That's good. I mean you.
Henry Zabrowski
That's what I'm saying. Keeping him healthy. I'd probably give him a nice Caesar salad for lunch. Probably order Caesar salad.
Ed Larson
You don't want to give him a fork? No, you don't want to give him a fork salad.
Henry Zabrowski
You gotta eat it horse style.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah. Or put it in a wrap. Caesar salad wrap.
Henry Zabrowski
Maybe you could use a wrap as a weapon.
Ed Larson
You think so? I don't know.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm just saying I'd rather see meat over bowl with his face then. Because it's my kidnapping.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And then later on, I mean, some nice chicken.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Again, this is if I'm cooking. If it's my house. It's also in a place like this. Probably got a wonderful kitchen.
Ed Larson
Know what I'd get? I would just get what I get. And then probably an appetizer, too. And just. He can have whatever's left.
Henry Zabrowski
Wow.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
See, I want to keep them fed.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Oh, no, man, that's good. That's good eating. I eat plenty. I probably eats.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
I get whatever falls out of your mouth. And I get something else down the side so she can have something.
Henry Zabrowski
That's how it always is. Natalie does. Also doesn't eat.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
That's how it goes.
Ed Larson
Yeah. What are you gonna do? I don't know. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
But, yeah, I would take good care of him.
Ed Larson
You gotta take good care of him.
Henry Zabrowski
Because again, I'm trying, at least past first week, I'm trying to get the password.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. So for a while, like, you could smack a guy all you want, but they always said this with the extreme torture techniques, or what do they call advanced torture techniques, is that it just makes somebody say anything.
Ed Larson
Know what you do? Get a wire stripper, strip the finger, sew it to his belly.
Henry Zabrowski
Whoa. Cool.
Ed Larson
You're like, this is.
Henry Zabrowski
That's healing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ed Larson
If you want me to sew your bone to your belly. So you build a finger, you have to show them the diagrams we got.
Henry Zabrowski
And then you could just see in the middle of me just going like, I don't know what I'm doing.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
There is blood everywhere.
Ed Larson
This a nice apartment, but this whole.
Henry Zabrowski
Thing fell apart pretty quickly. And the Italian guy does look like. How do you put it? He looks like a little crypto man. Little crypto men are everywhere. The little crypto man with their little haircuts and their tiny mouths. And there's something about them with their V neck. V neck shirts everywhere. That costs like $350, but it just could be a Hanes shirt as far as you're concerned.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
I just will never understand.
Ed Larson
Crypto is, like the way to make money. If you are just independently wealthy and never have any experience, you know, no proper education.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, it Seems like it's another way to make a lot of money quickly if you know all of the people involved and you have to be a part of one of these, like, rug bowl things.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And if you like crypto, good for you.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, yeah, teach me.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Or, you know what? Keep it to yourself.
Henry Zabrowski
We've had it explained. We've had it explained multiple times. I talked about this in the show every single time, and people try to explain it, and I just. I just don't care.
Ed Larson
I get it. I understand the concept, but I don't like it.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, it's just new money. It's just other money.
Ed Larson
Also, thank God NFTs bombed.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh. I mean, they're still amazing. That dumb still pops up.
Ed Larson
Oh, God. I was just like, what a waste. He jerks. Listen, sorry about that, everyone. I just get so mad when it comes to useless money stuff. Listen, there's a. We had another police. Another prison break.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, great.
Ed Larson
This guy. This guy's very interesting. It's not a long story, but.
Henry Zabrowski
Okay.
Ed Larson
All right, so. But this guy, former police chief, serving for murder and rape sentences, escaped from an Arkansas prison. This dude looks terrifying.
Henry Zabrowski
I just don't even understand how the.
Ed Larson
So he dressed up like a police guard, but not a police guard. They don't know how he got or made this outfit. Obviously, he's an ex police chief. I imagine he had some help and.
Henry Zabrowski
He definitely had some form of connections to.
Ed Larson
But he just kind of walked out wearing this outfit.
Henry Zabrowski
I'll never understand guys within the police force helping, like, this level of crime. Like, I could see if you're doing a financial crime or if you're something else. Like, he probably got something on him, but it's just like the idea of wanting to help a rapist is. Is the. The lowest form of like. Like the. The brotherhood in blue. Like, so you're. You're fine that he raped somebody?
Ed Larson
Like, it's weird. You got 30 years for the murder, 50 for the rape. Rape?
Henry Zabrowski
What guys? Well, I mean, that's actually weirdly refreshing. But it's also probably how serious whatever the.
Ed Larson
The attack was, it was in 1997. There isn't much information on it, but the man's name is Grant Harding. He's a big, scary kingpin looking.
Henry Zabrowski
He does look like.
Ed Larson
I don't know, he's like, apparently taken. They call him the devil in the Ozarks. He's a very scary dude. He was police chief for a couple of months and then immediately got locked up for murder and rape.
Henry Zabrowski
See, it's like he became. I mean, I guess that's what it takes, you know, look at people like Selena Gomez. They make it, but they.
Ed Larson
So they. So you're comparing this man to Selena Gomez?
Henry Zabrowski
I'm just saying mediocre people make it to the top all the time. Really?
Ed Larson
You think she's mediocre?
Henry Zabrowski
She's the definition of mediocre.
Ed Larson
Really?
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. She's a baby face. Yeah, she can. She manages to stand between Steve Martin and Martin Short, two of the most entertaining people on the face of the planet. I was wondering where this was coming. Yeah, she's wonderful. She's fine in it it. But she's only because she's next to those guys, I feel like she doesn't.
Ed Larson
You know, I like her for the record, but I feel like she doesn't move her mouth when she talks.
Henry Zabrowski
She has a. She looks like the. Remember in Muppets Christmas Carol. You remember the Ghost of Christmas Past. Do you remember what I'm talking about? That's what she looks like.
Ed Larson
The little doll girl. Yes. The sleepy doll ghost girl.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. But I know she's like 40 now, but she still looks like a child. 40?
Ed Larson
She's not 40.
Henry Zabrowski
She's something.
Ed Larson
She's. I'd hate to break it to you. She's not your age. She's always. She's younger than you.
Henry Zabrowski
Everyone's either 40.
Ed Larson
She got. What is he, 32?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, it's the same.
Ed Larson
No, it's not. It's much different. It's much different. She's 10 years younger than you, so deal with that.
Henry Zabrowski
Hey, no, I don't mind. I think she's beautiful.
Ed Larson
She is beautiful.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm not saying anything that she's gorgeous. I would say she's mediocre.
Ed Larson
She's talented and beautiful.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm saying she reminds me of this sheriff. Sheriff that was accused that was convicted of murder and rape.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
And that isn't broken out of jail. That's all I'm saying.
Ed Larson
6 foot 5, 320 pounds.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm just comparing her to stardom.
Ed Larson
How the same is hiding anywhere by the way is blowing is blowing my mind. It's because Gigantic booger, he's in our.
Henry Zabrowski
Because he's in Arkansas on the. And half of them look like that.
Ed Larson
They said he's taken to the woods and eventually he's going to run out of supplies. And it's hard. It's hard. Where the land that he's taken to. He's like Rambo. They say it's very rocky and they can't get up there. They can't get the dogs up there.
Henry Zabrowski
But I feel like he's a very. How do I put this unathletic version of Rambo? I don't think he's, like, sitting up there being like, once this last bush is done last. When I take the city myself, once I'm done with this last Schlitz.
Ed Larson
Yeah. But a lot of people turned on him, and so. And they're very scared that he's gonna come.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, He's a murderer, rapist, and a former sheriff dude.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. He's a dangerous man.
Ed Larson
He's a sheriff. Oh, yeah. And he did it to a teacher, too, which is always the worst. But, you know, and there was a documentary about him in 2023, the devil and the now they get to make another episode. Isn't that nice?
Henry Zabrowski
Hollywood wins again. Hollywood comes out on top one last time. We did it, guys. I just want to talk about this next little topic because I just want to rail on this for a little bit because we're already in kind. You and I are in a bit of a uncle mode anyway.
Ed Larson
Yes, absolutely.
Henry Zabrowski
Let's just continue.
Ed Larson
Let's lose some more fans.
Henry Zabrowski
Let's just stay in there today. Listen, we got a lot going on. I just need.
Ed Larson
Any time you say anything that's really upsetting, just touch the World Trade center effigy. Thankful.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm sorry.
Ed Larson
I'm very sorry.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm sorry. I wish you were still there.
Ed Larson
We used to do that in the roastwriter room. Whenever someone said a joke that was, like, way too awful, you just touch the table and say, apologize, I'm sorry. And then I've always forgiven. And then you move on.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Because you have to. Got to get it back. I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm. I'm sorry. If Selena Gomez nation comes after me, guess who's also absolutely mediocre. Taylor Swift. Whoa. Yes.
Ed Larson
You know what?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Fighting words.
Ed Larson
I'll touch this for you.
Henry Zabrowski
Fighting words. Taylor Swift.
Ed Larson
Tower one for Taylor. Tower two for Selena.
Henry Zabrowski
The only thing Taylor Swift could be good for this world is if she snuck her way into the White House and made some good decisions by pretending to be a fan of some people within the administration. Get in there. There. Take them out one by one. Then I will tell you honestly, then I'm a fan.
Ed Larson
You know who the new Taylor Swift is? Kendrick. Kendrick took it.
Henry Zabrowski
He's great.
Ed Larson
He took it from her.
Henry Zabrowski
What?
Ed Larson
Just the biggest act in the world.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, but Kendrick's a far better artist than Taylor Swift.
Ed Larson
Of course. But he took it. That's what I'm saying. He's the new. He. He took over. She had the ERAs tour. Now his tour with SZA is way bigger. I couldn't afford it. Yeah, I really wanted to go, and I just couldn't. It was like thousands. I was like, really? I just. I can't even.
Henry Zabrowski
You know how. We'll get in there, man.
Ed Larson
Break the bank. It's over.
Henry Zabrowski
No, no. I know how we get into the next one. Let's go find the next one. We're gonna battle Mike our way in there. Whoa. We're gonna wrap our way into the concert.
Ed Larson
Oh, my God. Should we?
Henry Zabrowski
Hey there. Hey. What do you say? I don't think Kendrick is not that gay.
Ed Larson
We're workshopping.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, for you, Kendrick. You better watch, because my incendiary taking your lifestyle is gonna go viral. Oh, Mr. Kendrick, you give me the ick. I wish you could get yourself sick.
Ed Larson
God damn, that's hot.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, yeah. Mr. Kendrick, I think you're lame. I saw the old pants. What are you, a dame?
Ed Larson
Yeah. Honey mustard.
Henry Zabrowski
Chicken nugget. Chicken nugget. We are going to get in this concert. Eddie, he's going to be so impressed by us. Our lambasting him with words and. And rhymes and guppies that he is going to put us directly on stage.
Ed Larson
You're bro.
Henry Zabrowski
Coming for you. Kendrick Lamar. We're next. All right. You're not like us. You're not like us.
Ed Larson
You ain't like me.
Henry Zabrowski
Shots fired. See if we get on. See what Charlotte Ming the God has to say about that. Yeah, we're gonna be. They're gonna put us on. What was that? What's the show? The Breakfast Club.
Ed Larson
Breakfast Club.
Henry Zabrowski
We're gonna go down. We're talking. Talk some sense these fools.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But over lunch.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes, please. We could tear her away from her.
Ed Larson
I don't like to get up that early.
Henry Zabrowski
Rise from your grave.

Now, I want to talk about this because let's just stay in this place because I just want to. I want to complain about this one thing.
Ed Larson
All right?
Henry Zabrowski
French pizza chef accused of killing man before dismembering and cooking body parts in pot of vegetables. Now. Wow. I just flip this. First of all, this French pizza chef, right? He confessed to killing a six year old man in his isolated home. This is the saddest thing I've ever seen. He ran this thing, he ran a French Italian whatever restaurant called Don Filippo in. And this variant, what a wonderful Italian sounding place. It's in the Saint Sernine Siroche, France.
Ed Larson
First of all, the village of Brusque.
Henry Zabrowski
If you tell me you're some kind of French pizza maker, I'm gonna tell you. Get the out of my face.
Ed Larson
Yeah, okay.
Henry Zabrowski
Because you're some kind of fancy ass French ass pizza faker. That's what I'm calling you. Pizza faker. Yeah, okay. Because guess what's not French pizza? And guess what's dumber than your French ass? Try to make pizza in the world.
Ed Larson
What is it, Henry?
Henry Zabrowski
Killing a man in his isolated home to steal his weed?
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
That is literally why he killed this man. God.
Ed Larson
And people say weed's not addictive.
Henry Zabrowski
It is. But weeds not that hard to get.
Ed Larson
In France it might be. I don't know. In France, it's got to be easy. They love smoking.
Henry Zabrowski
I've seen it. I've seen. I smelt it. When we Were in Paris.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
I smelled it all on these Strats, you know?
Ed Larson
But how. I mean, how stone, do you think you got to get to eat French pizza?
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, maybe that's the problem, I guess. Oh, wow. So cannabis is not legal in France, but that doesn't mean anything. Weed still, like, easy to get. You have all the French rappers and stuff wearing their tube hats and stuff.
Ed Larson
Stuff.
Henry Zabrowski
French rappers are the weirdest.
Ed Larson
You see the French president, or premier, whatever the he is, prime minister, fight with his wife. Yeah. He got hit by his wife. Slapped him.
Henry Zabrowski
But she's like 30 years older than him. It's like a teacher thing.
Ed Larson
She's older than him?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
And she hit him.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, it was. He said they were being sexy.
Ed Larson
Oh, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
It's French.
Ed Larson
In front of everybody French.
Henry Zabrowski
They can hit each other.
Ed Larson
I don't know. Well, he.
Henry Zabrowski
She.
Ed Larson
He can't hit her.
Henry Zabrowski
He can't hit her on the face.
Ed Larson
No.
Henry Zabrowski
And then she can hit him, I guess. Yeah, but babies can smoke milk.
Ed Larson
Yes. Babies.
Henry Zabrowski
Now you're looking at French bread.
Ed Larson
Pizza.
Henry Zabrowski
French bread. American French bread we made.
Ed Larson
It's so stupid.
Henry Zabrowski
Anything called French bread is American made.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
All right. Because guess what they call bread. Yeah. What do they call, guess what they call bread in France? Bread. And guess what? Over there. Yeah. It doesn't look like that.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
I had. I had it over there. It's nicer over that. I had their sandwiches and pears. French sandwiches were good.
Ed Larson
Ham and cheese. Croissant.
Henry Zabrowski
That was good. I got a croissant. I even had a baguette. Well, I did it just like those little big titted French girls where I went to the. I went to the. The.
Ed Larson
Are you trying to say big titted French girls don't like croissants?
Henry Zabrowski
No, I'm saying I was like those big titted French girls where I went to the little wagon and I saw a man with a big mustache, and he was like, much of your wife. And I was like, you don't have enough to buy my wife. Wife. And then I went and I bought him then. But then he kind of showed me he might have enough, and I was like, no, no, no. And then he went and bought. And then I bought like a sandwich just off a cart.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And it was absolutely. It was just like. I felt like. What's her name? Madeline.
Ed Larson
Madeline from the.
Henry Zabrowski
The children's books. Oh, I feel like Madeline. I wouldn't have got a Niclaire. And I just like I did with Rob. I Full on Jenna Jameson. The nclair. In the streets of Paris.
Ed Larson
Well, that's how you're supposed to do it.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, dude. Yeah, Don no chew.
Ed Larson
Yeah, no chew. Yeah, swallow that.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. I felt like little Meline with my yellow hat and I got my big old baguette with ham and cheese in it and I was like, oh, it's a pee. Pee Wee. Pee pee.
Ed Larson
I remember that chick.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, dude, she was annoying as.
Ed Larson
Yeah, get a smaller hat.
Henry Zabrowski
She was always getting into issues.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Get some parents.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, honestly, with Meline, too, it's like, you better be careful you're not getting trafficked out in France, dude.
Ed Larson
Hey, man. So these guys.
Henry Zabrowski
This guy killed this old man literally to steal his wife.
Ed Larson
Weed. That's up.
Henry Zabrowski
And I think partially it's because he is so up by being a French pizza chef and that knowing that that's fake and it's bad and it's stupid.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And obviously people are going to attack me, but I will take that because I looked at the pizza in Paris. All right? I was in Paris. I looked at the pizza. It looked bad.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
It was just hanging out.
Ed Larson
I remember French bread pizza was given to me. Me as. As a lie when I was a child.
Henry Zabrowski
French bread pizza was fine when you were a child, but it's for child's palate.
Ed Larson
Well, the thing is, it was when I was a fat boy and Weight Watchers would make the frozen French pizza. I remember my mom.
Henry Zabrowski
I know.
Ed Larson
Feed it to me all the time.
Henry Zabrowski
Exactly what you said.
Ed Larson
It's like, there's no way this frozen French bread pizza is making me lose weight.
Henry Zabrowski
Dude. We used to go through. It was the same.
Ed Larson
They would just give us piles of spaghetti and tell us it was Weight Watchers.
Henry Zabrowski
I remember this.
Ed Larson
It was.
Henry Zabrowski
We went through all of that.
Ed Larson
We also seen Alfredo and it's like.
Henry Zabrowski
The worst world snack. Wells cookies. I would just take down a sleeve of those snacks.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm on a bit of a diet. So we're switched to the diet cookie. Can we look up what's the best. Best pizza restaurant in France.
Ed Larson
Look at this pizza. That's him.
Henry Zabrowski
This is the murderer.
Ed Larson
Oh, that's it.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. This looks terrible.
Ed Larson
There's hardly any cheese on it.
Henry Zabrowski
Don't put like. You know what it is is that if you call your egg par. Eggplant parm cheese and arine pizza, lose me.
Ed Larson
I. I will say, looking at this man, he does need weed. Like, he does need someone. Like, honestly, like, someone needs to get this man some weed.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm looking this up. Just the old Fashioned Internet. Is weed hard to get in Paris? In Paris, yeah.
Ed Larson
Well, he's not in Paris. He's in a little village.
Henry Zabrowski
It's all close. There's biggest states.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
All right. That's the thing about Europe, we forget each one of their whole countries is the biggest estate. They could drive anywhere. Right. So whatever, dude. Yeah. All right. So it's weed legal in France. France has the highest cannabis consumption in Europe.
Ed Larson
Okay, that makes sense.
Henry Zabrowski
That is what they're saying. That's over six months.
Ed Larson
Yes, well, there's more of them though, than in Amsterdam. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. But look at this. Why in the living are you not having free ass legal weed in France?
Ed Larson
Yeah. Who. Does anyone other than the Dutch have legal weed in Europe?
Henry Zabrowski
I believe the Germans, maybe.
Ed Larson
No, they're strict.
Henry Zabrowski
They're not though. Germans are extremely liberal.
Ed Larson
Really?
Henry Zabrowski
Germans are technically. German society is perfect right now.
Ed Larson
I mean, if you smoke weed in Germany, would you have to like wrap it in leather and beat the out of it?
Henry Zabrowski
I think that's how you get the weed.
Ed Larson
Weed, yes.
Henry Zabrowski
I think you have to do that to a big German man.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
But I think that weed is it. Yeah. Germany countries, Netherlands, Germany, Malta and Luxembourg all have legal cannabis consumption.
Ed Larson
I mean, that's a advertisement right there.
Henry Zabrowski
Germany's. I mean, we love Germany, but I mean, Berlin is the place that we went to that I felt. I felt the least cool I'll ever be.
Ed Larson
Well, man, I'd love to be stoned there. That sounds great.
Henry Zabrowski
It was. It was awesome.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
So this is what I'm saying. This guy didn't have to go that far to get weed. He didn't have to kill you. You never. I'm just going to. We can put this out there. You never have to kill for weed.
Ed Larson
You don't have to kill for weed.
Henry Zabrowski
Kill for crypto. That I understand.
Ed Larson
That other guy didn't even kill for crypto.
Henry Zabrowski
No. Because he couldn't. Because he needed a password.
Ed Larson
Yeah. You know what? You don't kill for fish. Zachary Barfield. I'm mad at this guy. Well, this story, he's a fisherman.
Henry Zabrowski
This story's brutal.
Ed Larson
It's brutal. But like, this guy, he's a fisherman from Panama City and he just got 30 days in jail for killing dolphins. He's. And he runs charters off of.
Henry Zabrowski
He hear this again. 30 days in jail.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
For openly shooting dolphins in front of children with a shotgun.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Taking his shotgun out into the water, shooting dolphins in the head like he's fucking Travis Bickle.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Over the water. And he went out there, he literally. Because he was mad that they were eating the snapper supper.
Ed Larson
Yeah. He was fishing and he would catch a fish and then the dolphin would eat the fish that he caught. And I don't know how often this really happens. I mean, come on. Like. But they're saying that he also poisoned a bunch of dolphins and he poisoned up to 70 dolphins. This guy. He would put in. He would stick methanol into bait fish and then throw them at dolphins when he saw them. And he'd get them to eat it and it would. It would. It was a. It's a toxic pesticide that acts. That acts against the nervous system of humans, mammals, and other animals. Yeah. And so this guy, he's killing up to 70 dolphins, and they gave in Panama City, Florida, which is a bad place.
Henry Zabrowski
It's bad.
Ed Larson
I. You know me, I love Florida. Yes, Panama City's garbage. And. But he. 30 days.
Henry Zabrowski
That's just crazy. 70, 30 days.
Ed Larson
You shoot one dolphin in front of children, more than a month, you know.
Henry Zabrowski
More than a month, we'll have the kids reaction, react.
Ed Larson
If they were like, oh, thanks, another one. Yeah, there's another one over there.
Henry Zabrowski
That's the thing. The difference is that if the kids are all like, yay, yay. Now kill my dad. Like, that's different. Like if they were all ready to go. Like, that's what's hard. If the kids asked for it.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Hey, mister, have you ever used a shotgun?
Ed Larson
Yeah, he was shotgun all the goddamn time.
Henry Zabrowski
But nest, have you ever used it on the ocean?
Ed Larson
Oh, yeah. When the dolphins come in here and they start eating my snapper. Hold on, there's one right now.
Henry Zabrowski
Bam. That's the funnest day I've ever had. Ever since I was let out of the orphanage for killing all the teachers.
Ed Larson
God damn it. Someone get that kid some binoculars.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, I want to see his guts. Shoot it in the dick. Ah, that makes sense. Florida killing dolphins. Oh, that's why he was. Well, that was. What he got was $51,000 in fines.
Ed Larson
That's still not even a thousand dollars a dolphin.
Henry Zabrowski
They just don't care.
Ed Larson
That's still not even that much. They don't care about Gulf of Mexico. We're limited. There's oil spills.
Henry Zabrowski
It's Florida. The measles. Measles are killing the children. They are. Literally. It is. Ray, I want to say. It's raining fire.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
They don't care about the dolphins.
Ed Larson
70 of the most beautiful creatures in the ocean.
Henry Zabrowski
They don't care about the dog.
Ed Larson
Gave this guy 30 days. That's crazy.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Dolphins. Are you ready for this? You kill a dolphin, you should be in longer than if you kill a dog. That's what I think. I think dolphins should be one of the highest sentences you can get for killing an animal.
Henry Zabrowski
See, I put them all in the same bracket, but I only want. I put above all of them is a chimpanzee.
Ed Larson
Oh, absolutely.
Henry Zabrowski
I think of you. If you strangle a bonobo, it depends on how you do it.
Ed Larson
Bonobo is a different.
Henry Zabrowski
Bonobo is the closest to human society.
Ed Larson
I thought that was a MacArthur top.
Henry Zabrowski
No.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
But.
Ed Larson
Oh, bonobo is the closest.
Henry Zabrowski
It's the closest. Right.
Ed Larson
They're tiny.
Henry Zabrowski
They are, but they're the closest. The closest to us at our brain power. Right. So I think that if you were to kill it, also, if you were to kill a bonobo in a way, like stabbing it to death or doing it in, like, an arm bar or something like that, you should also get more.
Ed Larson
Yes, of course. Of course. I don't think it matters the way you kill it as much as you know, as much as you're just doing it.
Henry Zabrowski
I feel like they choose should.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Just funner for the jury.
Ed Larson
Oh, yeah, it's funner for the jury. Oh, you lit him on fire. You didn't strangle them. So we're gonna have to give you two years if you strangle them. We'd give you one.
Henry Zabrowski
See, fire is different. Fire is different. How did you not get, like, the maximum punishment? Because you probably know some punishment.
Ed Larson
I can't read that.
Henry Zabrowski
One year in jail for violation, $100,000 in fines, and one year in jail.
Ed Larson
He should get 70 years in jail. Call 1-877-WHALE HELP to fucking register your complaints. This is fucked up. Like, I really think this is crazy.
Henry Zabrowski
Also. It's Florida, buddy.
Ed Larson
He should be. They should take his fucking boat. He should never be allowed in the ocean.
Henry Zabrowski
It's the most corrupt state.
Ed Larson
And also it's one of the most corrupt areas. Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
So it is not a. It's. They don't care. They don't care about humans. Why would they care about the dolphins?
Ed Larson
I feel like if it was in a different county, this guy would have gotten, like. If this was down in Key West. Key West. They'll lock you up for more than a shift for just taking too many conch shells.
Henry Zabrowski
My father was attacked so brutally by a pit bull.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
In his neighborhood. And the cops did nothing. You think they're gonna. This is the most they'll do. This is literally the most they will do because it is happened.
Ed Larson
If you didn't shoot the dolphin in.
Henry Zabrowski
Front of children or unless the kids were the ones that were into it.
Ed Larson
It.
Henry Zabrowski
And then again it probably was just because they were mad that he was wasting bullets.
Ed Larson
Elementary school children. They were elementary school. It was hard. Even high school kids, not even middle school.
Henry Zabrowski
I weirdly think though, if I was in elementary school watching it, I would have been like, wow. Yeah, yeah, get it again.
Ed Larson
I feel like middle school I would have been like that. There was a couple rough years for me in middle school where I was very anti people being alive and I'm glad I got past that. But weed really helped me explore my empathy. But.
Henry Zabrowski
But you really, you have done it, Eddie, and you have grown and you have changed.
Ed Larson
Yes, yes. But yeah. $51,000 fine and 30 days in jail. It's almost worth it for this guy to keep doing it.
Henry Zabrowski
Maybe he likes it.
Ed Larson
Yeah, maybe.
Henry Zabrowski
You mean, who knows?
Ed Larson
The Japan. Join the COVID Get, get, you know, do it, do it right.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Get paid to do it. Yeah, yeah.
Ed Larson
To get out of America.
Henry Zabrowski
That makes sense.
Ed Larson
Support this guy.
Henry Zabrowski
They're going to. I think they're going to import more of them, unfortunately. This is what we like.
Ed Larson
Do we have any?
Henry Zabrowski
I don't know. I have one letter. It's too long.
Ed Larson
It's too long. Is there a shorter way? There's plantation houses.
Henry Zabrowski
It's all just saying they're bad.
Ed Larson
Of course they're bad.
Henry Zabrowski
Yep.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Why would. Yeah. Why would they not be bad?
Henry Zabrowski
But they're just obviously.
Ed Larson
Yeah, of course they're bad.
Henry Zabrowski
We have a feeling. Yeah, they're. No one's happy about them.
Ed Larson
Yeah. All right.
Henry Zabrowski
Nobody. But they used to be around more often and a lot of them have left a.
Ed Larson
But I think my question was, can we build new ones?
Henry Zabrowski
Well, you can, but there the, the idea is that the letters I received said the issue really is that also the style of home that it is is considered like a colonial. It's considered European style of home. And it was considered a tribute to the glorious days of the powerful white man in Europe.
Ed Larson
I mean that's all Europe is to this day.
Henry Zabrowski
Depends on the country. It depends on the country. And also that's why it's like it's just getting the land. Plantation home. And then I just think I love going to Solvang.
Ed Larson
Little Dutch town, windmills, Adorable.
Henry Zabrowski
I think as long as you just keep saying I'm sorry, it should be okay.
Ed Larson
You also can't just build a different style house and. Yeah, fine.
Henry Zabrowski
I do. I do. Look. One that looks like a ufo.
Ed Larson
I just. Yeah, but it's still like, I gotta say, wraparound porch.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, that's the only thing.
Ed Larson
The wraparound porch. That's all I really like about total wraparound porch. I mean, that's like when you know you've made it.
Henry Zabrowski
Or like that thing in New Orleans homes when you go through and they have like the middle part that's outside.
Ed Larson
Love this.
Henry Zabrowski
That's one of my favorite things. An inner courtyard in there.
Ed Larson
It's like so cool.
Henry Zabrowski
So cool.
Ed Larson
It really is cool. And again, you just got that kind of money. Is that a ufo?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. This isn't Palm Springs. We should get this next year. You can rent this. I actually looked into renting this UFO home for a. The whenever. Like some vacation. The problem though is that it's got very bad air conditioning and it really just looks cool.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
Go in the winter.
Ed Larson
Go in the winter. UFO home.
Henry Zabrowski
Very warm in there.
Ed Larson
It would be fun to do during contact, though.
Henry Zabrowski
It would be. Honestly. It's available for contact to come check it out. Contacting the desert. You can stay in the weekend in a. An extremely expensive ufo.
Ed Larson
Hold on, on. It's available for contact?
Henry Zabrowski
It might be.
Ed Larson
How is the UFO home? Not taken.
Henry Zabrowski
It might be. I mean, I might be wrong. It's taken.
Ed Larson
It's taken. I was gonna say, if someone is not staying in the UFO home during contact, then the whole festival's a sham.
Henry Zabrowski
It better be George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell. Breast friends.
Ed Larson
Breast friends. They just sleep chest to chest. They have on a tiny cot.
Henry Zabrowski
That's what people don't understand. They do sleep in the bed together. Yeah, but it's not so sexual.
Ed Larson
Yeah, and I'm surprised you brought up a William Green and not Josh Speed.
Henry Zabrowski
I want to save Josh Speed for our episode.
Ed Larson
Oh, okay. Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
That was his real boyfriend.
Ed Larson
Yes. Yeah. Tune in for the Josh Speed love affair.
Henry Zabrowski
Abraham Lincoln was a man about a man.
Ed Larson
Complicated morals.
Henry Zabrowski
No, not morals. Just. He had a complicated life. He live every day.
Ed Larson
He loved the man who owned slaves. It's.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, but it was. He loved the man who owned slaves. Oh, and then he loved the. The man who owned slaves. It wasn't just the ninja. Say he's a slave owner. There was a man in there.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
And George and Abraham Lincoln made sweet love to that man. His mouth, his butt. And honestly, you could live every day being like a president, you know, I mean, have your wife, have your Best friend lover. Be best friends with somebody and best friends with them at the same time.
Ed Larson
He's a tall strong man with perfect thighs. You can split my rails any day.
Henry Zabrowski
Love getting absolute having your butt handed to you by an old friend. And then laugh knowing it's just another funny story to tell all the guys down at the VFW about how you Abraham Lincoln, slimer from Ghostbusters all had a full on gay ass orgy. But it doesn't make you gay because of how much you love this country.
Ed Larson
Back then they had VAWs, Veterans of American wars because it was a civil war.
Henry Zabrowski
But I don't know if they had it by then.
Ed Larson
No, they probably didn't. I'm just saying if they did, it was the American war that they would have been celebrating because other than that it's the War of 1812 and what's.
Henry Zabrowski
Civil about or nothing.
Ed Larson
Another goddamn thing.
Henry Zabrowski
You already made this.
Ed Larson
Yeah, you already did. We did a whole episode about it, but they haven't heard it yet. No, actually comes out on Friday this week.
Henry Zabrowski
Y' all here. So it's about the assassination Rape. I'm looking. If you didn't know, did you know.

They critique the use of green screens and question the legitimacy of the supposed evidence, hinting at possible foul play or misinformation.
Henry Zabrowski [11:19]: "He's putting his face over the footage, which is a lie."
The conversation intensifies as they fantasize about confronting the perpetrator and speculate wildly about Annabelle's whereabouts and intentions.
Henry Zabrowski [16:20]: "Everybody come meet me there. It's gonna be me, Annabelle, the Green Lantern. We're going to take down the White House together as a team."
The hosts delve into a horrifying medical procedure known as degloving, where a man's finger is stripped of flesh. They discuss the intricate and gruesome details of reattaching fingers using belly skin grafts, injecting dark humor into a macabre subject.

Their banter continues as they imagine absurd scenarios involving such procedures, blending shock value with comedic relief.
