Ben Kissel
This is the last on the left side stories.
Henry Zebrowski
That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes.
Ben Kissel
This is the problem.
Henry Zebrowski
Can't even spell the fucking name. Jamiroquai. Okay, so what is he?
Ben Kissel
It's got a Q in it. I know that.
Henry Zebrowski
Recording it. Oh, yeah. We've begun the episode already. Is our first episode on Netflix. This is how we're gonna begin.
Ben Kissel
Sure.
Henry Zebrowski
Great.
Ben Kissel
Jamiroquai.
Henry Zebrowski
Is Jamiroquoi Native American? No. He seems like that. Jamiroquai would seem to be like a wise Native American's name.
Ben Kissel
I feel like Jamiroqua is like, if the UK had Native Americans, he'd be part of them.
Henry Zebrowski
But we got some, right? I think. Oh, see, he's British.
Ben Kissel
I'm pretty sure Jamiroqua is British. Look at that.
Henry Zebrowski
Same to not America. Not Native American. No, he's not.
Ben Kissel
We know he's not Native American.
Henry Zebrowski
Figured out yet.
Ben Kissel
Oh, I just feel like that's all you're giving us. If it's Native American, British, what is he?
Henry Zebrowski
I would like him to be Native American.
Ben Kissel
It's like, you know, if you Google me, it's not going to say not Asian, you know?
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, mine does English. British. Mine British. I know he was British. Oh, yeah, yeah, he's theirs. Whoa. What a weird haircut in that picture.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Why does he look like that?
Ben Kissel
Because he's Jamari Kwai. Look however he wants.
Henry Zebrowski
It looks like his hair is being made out of, like, a fancy dog. It's like someone shaved a fancy dog and put a hair on the top of Jamiroquai's head. Who did that to him?
Ben Kissel
I don't know. Certainly explains the hat.
Henry Zebrowski
Maybe it was Netflix. Welcome to side Stories. Hello, on Netflix. My name is Henry Zabrowski. That's Ed Larson.
Ben Kissel
I'm big.
Henry Zebrowski
We're also on podcasts for free.
Ben Kissel
Yes. So please just keep listening to us how you always listen to us. But if you're on Netflix. How you doing?
Henry Zebrowski
What's going on?
Ben Kissel
That's how fat I am. That's how fat he is.
Henry Zebrowski
I. This is me.
Ben Kissel
Skinny you, actually. Yeah, you're looking okay.
Henry Zebrowski
How sad is that?
Ben Kissel
It's not that sad.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah, it is. I. I picked out my. Oh, man. I tried to put my wedding suit on the other day.
Ben Kissel
What happened?
Henry Zebrowski
I got high.
Ben Kissel
Was it too big or too small?
Henry Zebrowski
I out iced it. Oh, too fat. Too fat for my wedding suit. Guys, I just, first of all, want to apologize for the way that we. Look, we talked about this again. Eddie just did. And I'm going to reiterate that apology because, yes, it's true. Right now, ICE Immigrant and Customs Enforcement, they are out there murdering nurses. Just wholesale and just kind of murdering people.
Ben Kissel
We don't need nurs.
Henry Zebrowski
Talk like. No, they're the last, sir.
Ben Kissel
Expendable as hell.
Henry Zebrowski
Hey, I. You know what I hate? Is an empathetic man. One less. So we know that. And. And I think that, you know, obviously Minneapolis is being torn apart right now there. Lord Farquaad has recently been demoted, which.
Ben Kissel
You got furred for, Mr. Sent them back to California. Thank God.
Henry Zebrowski
We love him.
Ben Kissel
We love him.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. So we just want to apologize for the fact that we look like men who would apply ice. Yes, but. And that's just our burden.
Ben Kissel
There's nothing, you know, nothing we can really. It's not our burden. It's our wives burden.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, that's. It's currently their burden. Yes, but we. I wish that we. Look, what's her name? Larissa.
Ben Kissel
Natalie.
Henry Zebrowski
What's the name of the fake woman that they made for the Marty supreme movie? Leon.
Ben Kissel
Oh, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
They build her. They build her up. Onessa. They built her out of odessa. They built her out of like a. Like a petri dish or something. Oh, she's cool. Yeah, sure. Yeah. But I'm just saying we can't be like that. All right? We. Before the Hollywood gene editing programs that were put out there to create these incredible mixtures of people. Odessa. Oz.
Ben Kissel
Aion.
Henry Zebrowski
I think her name is. You know, her mom is. Who? Famous actress. No way.
Ben Kissel
What's her name?
Henry Zebrowski
Pamela Adlon.
Ben Kissel
Who the hell's that?
Henry Zebrowski
Very famous actress who created a movie, several shows for fx. Producer. Very powerful.
Ben Kissel
Is it on Netflix? I don't give a trash.
Henry Zebrowski
Because we only like shows that are on Netflix.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, put it out next to the Melania movie. That's what I say.
Henry Zebrowski
You know what, Netflix? Melania's looking good these days.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, you never know.
Henry Zebrowski
We're not gonna. We're not gonna whitewash her. Come on, guys.
Ben Kissel
Come on, Netflix. Let's whitewash. If she was on Netflix, I bet she'd show him.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, imagine that.
Ben Kissel
I mean, if she. If Melania showed her tits in this movie, do you know what the fucking box office would be? Oh, I buy. I buy. I buy tickets. Not even go. I buy tickets and give it to children on outside.
Henry Zebrowski
No. Yeah, go look at the first lady's tits. You ever seen the first lady's tits before?
Ben Kissel
I got Google.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, get it up in there, man. The only thing that could really double it. And again, we want to thank the people, the wonderful benefactors here at Netflix is. I think that with Melania on Netflix, she could show Open Hole.
Ben Kissel
Oh, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Do they do Open Hole on Netflix?
Ben Kissel
No Netflix. I feel like they do a little less nudity than I would like, to be honest.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, they do. That's for certain. Yeah. There should be more nudity.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. The nudity place.
Henry Zebrowski
Not even anymore. Now they even. They're even fighting on that.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. What happened to that?
Henry Zebrowski
There's a lot of penises, which I don't mind. I'll see the penises, but I want to see the same amount of penises and boobies.
Ben Kissel
You figure once discovery bought you, there'd be more like nature tits, at least. Ew.
Henry Zebrowski
You really shouldn't be jerking off at nature videos. I mean, they do. They had this show called Skins where this woman had a butthole for a mouth. Oh, well, that's.
Ben Kissel
That's cool.
Henry Zebrowski
That's art.
Ben Kissel
That's cool. I like that.
Henry Zebrowski
Netflix is great, but we are going to talk about. Obviously we would talk more about what's going on in Minneapolis, but it's a bit intense, and so we kind of want to give it its. Its credence. Go look it up. Just know for a fact that ICE is currently running around attacking children at a baseball field. You know, stuff like where it's really where the criminals are.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
So they're really out working, but we're doing great.
Ben Kissel
They're capturing the five year olds and they're bringing them to concentration camps in Texas that we're not allowed to go in.
Henry Zebrowski
So don't worry there. Don't worry.
Ben Kissel
There's riots at the concentration camp where the child was all weekend.
Henry Zebrowski
Good.
Ben Kissel
No one's talking about that they wouldn't let Chris Murphy in all weekend.
Henry Zebrowski
No, no, it's bad over there. It's better there. They're gonna try to send ICE agents to the Winter Olympics, but just understand. Which is where foreigners go.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
So it's literally where they'd be. But they, you know, it's a whole thing. So I just want you to know we're against it, but we're sorry we look like them.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
You know, because I wish we've talked about this. We talked about this last episode. There should be more people out there gumming up the works.
Ben Kissel
Absolutely. Minneapolis doing a good job.
Henry Zebrowski
You have? Yes. Minneapolis, the. Apparently the rollout against what the current. The protest scene. What is happening? Minneapolis is so beautiful and in lockstep and getting bigger and bigger every day. And it's beginning to work. So I want to say good work out there, but I also want to reach out to the other fat bodied white dudes out there just like us. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
All right.
Henry Zebrowski
Go buy a gator.
Ben Kissel
Go buy a gator. Get a vest. Every police on it.
Henry Zebrowski
All of their bullshit is completely purchasable. On Amazon.
Ben Kissel
Amazon Army Navy stores.
Henry Zebrowski
There's so much you could buy.
Ben Kissel
You use your own car.
Henry Zebrowski
Apparently, it's the easiest shit in the world to be ice. Go be one. And then what I say is mix it up in there. Get them real confused. Steal some stuff, set off some fucking flares. Like, the goal is to create generalized fun chaos from within ice. And the only people that can do it is other fat white men.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. And I want to say, like, if you want to turn ice, it's a nice. The Midwest is a great place to do it.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
You know, if there's one. If there's one group of people that can make these guys turn around. And if not, you know, we'll just put them all in prison in a couple of years.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, absolutely. We're going to be rounding up every one of them. Don't worry if we have anything to do with it. And also give up to the. Give some money over to the Minnesota Freedom Fund. I did a bit of research about the idea of where money should go during a time like this.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
And one of the things they said was bond funds for people getting out of jail.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. And if you got friends that are on the ground, make sure you hit them up. They all know different places that you could send Venmo to, like different food kitchens and shit like that.
Henry Zebrowski
Where's Jamaica, everybody?
Ben Kissel
Where is Jamiroquai? He's oddly silent.
Henry Zebrowski
This is what is happening right now in this country is virtual insanity. And the fact that he is not out there in the streets right now. How hard it would be for them to get him while he's side moving slept back and forth.
Ben Kissel
Oh, Jamiroquies coming back with another tour in Europe, South America and potentially North America. He ain't coming here.
Henry Zebrowski
No one's.
Ben Kissel
None of them are coming here anymore.
Henry Zebrowski
Come here also.
Ben Kissel
It's just like, don't come.
Henry Zebrowski
I already said that, Eddie. Right before this. No new J fans.
Ben Kissel
I. I just think that it's okay if I. If I want to start liking Jamaica. I like the virtual insanity. I like dancing furniture upside down.
Henry Zebrowski
It's.
Ben Kissel
It's.
Henry Zebrowski
We had Lionel Richie. Yeah, Eddie, we had Lionel.
Ben Kissel
He's still alive. He's very much alive.
Henry Zebrowski
We have fingers crossed. We'll see.
Ben Kissel
Oh, okay, well. Oh, real quick, before we move on too far, I was just like googling like a bunch of different stuff about like ice because I went down this horrible hole like we all did in this country last couple days. Yeah, sure. And I was just like, yeah, who's this Greg Bovino guy? You know, cuz you see his Nazi little face around and stuff like that.
Henry Zebrowski
I love this long jacket.
Ben Kissel
Yes, his long jacket.
Henry Zebrowski
It's good for hiding your nude body in the park.
Ben Kissel
You know, it's actually a normal jacket. He's just that tiny.
Henry Zebrowski
Any but look at that poetic walk. Anime men's suit cosplay uniform. You could just buy a uniform that looks just like what he was wearing. And that literally is Greg Bovino's entire outfit. You can buy it on Amazon for $52.
Ben Kissel
So I found this fun rumor. I don't think it's true. Might not be true, but I was looking up Greg Bovino rumors and my deep searches and I found a fun one. He went to Watuga High School in North Carolina. And apparently some of the people who were his classmates are saying that he was forced to eat a limp biscuit.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, for those of you who don't know Limp Bizkit, the band was named after a funny thing. Limp Bizkit is what in some terms I believe you could also refer to as an ookie cookie. Okie cookie was an old game that boys used to play to make each other homosexual, where they would play a game where they would all masturbate upon a cookie of some type. A piece of bread or an English muffin, depending on what time of day it is. I don't know when it's. Whatever is ready in the Kitchen.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
And they all. Whoever. They all jerk off onto it. And then I believe it's one way is. I've heard the competitive style.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Which is the guy who comes last eats the cookie. That is one way. I've heard it. Another way to heard it was just somebody just hands you a cookie with.
Ben Kissel
Come on it and you're like, oh, it's frosted. Yeah, that's a salt. It is assault.
Henry Zebrowski
It is assault. But guess what?
Ben Kissel
It's a salty as well.
Henry Zebrowski
But I guess either way, I'm just happy. They tried to make Greg Bovino's mouth pregnant.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Because he deserved every minute of it. Enjoy. I think he went back to El Centro.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, El Centro, California. He's coming back to our partisan. Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Enjoy.
Ben Kissel
No, he's. If he. You know, his dad killed a girl.
Henry Zebrowski
Really?
Ben Kissel
Yeah, his dad had a DUI and he killed. Killed someone in a drunk driving accident.
Henry Zebrowski
Wow. That's more legitimate than what I said this weekend. I would also say the I do find interesting is that also Eddie noted that after all of the recent murderings that ICE has done in cold blood, they have recently changed their website to show it in memoriam of ICE soldiers on their thing to show like, how. How much in danger they are at all times.
Ben Kissel
The wall of honor. To honor everyone who's died. I started looking up and like, first off, took it all the way back to 1915, which isn't even as long as they've been a company or whatever.
Henry Zebrowski
Count doesn't matter then.
Ben Kissel
But most of them have died. More than 50% died of COVID Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Of course, because they are built to die of COVID Those neck gators don't work. They don't.
Ben Kissel
They don't work. They gotta wear real masks.
Henry Zebrowski
You fucking idiots.
Ben Kissel
You fucking morons. Everyone knows it doesn't work.
Henry Zebrowski
We all know your stupid face. Gators do nothing but hide in like they collect Covid. Yeah. So just know that. That those brave soldiers out there dying.
Ben Kissel
Of a cough, and they haven't lost1 since October 19, 2024.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, they're so safe out there.
Ben Kissel
Yes. Only two of them were killed by, I guess what you want to say immigrants, but you can't really say that because one of them was killed in Mexico.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, so he went. They went there.
Ben Kissel
They went there and he was killed in Mexico. So you can't even say an immigrant killed him because he wasn't. He was in Mexico.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't know what they were doing, but either way sounds like it went well. We have a bunch we have one update. Oh, one big update, which is our guy, El Jefe. We were excited about this guy Ryan Wedding, former Canadian snowboarding Olympian turned cartel kingpin.
Ben Kissel
I. You know, I don't. I still have never seen much proof on this.
Henry Zebrowski
We don't know anything. He was recently arrested. And that's what's sad is that's the entire update, is that we wanted more. We covered this in a previous episode. This awesome giant Canadian that won the hearts of the Lanoa cartel, that he went out there and they just saw that he had something plucky and they liked working with him. He was already running drugs for them while he was working. Like, just after the Olympic. He was like, you know, he's a real go getter.
Ben Kissel
He loves snow.
Henry Zebrowski
But he seems. He really did, Eddie. But he seems that he got. I guess he got ratted out. Is that what I know? I have no idea. They. There's very little details. We just know that he got arrested.
Ben Kissel
He got arrested in Mexico, and they're bringing him back to America. He's a Canadian snowboarder.
Henry Zebrowski
Maybe.
Ben Kissel
Maybe we're going to put him on our Olympic team. Maybe we're like. We're like, hey, guess what? You want to commute a sentence, strap on a snowboard and go, go, go to the Olympics in the next week.
Henry Zebrowski
If he wins the gold. Exonerated, right? If he goes, prison, nothing but gold. If he goes. That's a movie right there. That's the. That's the movie. Dude, that would be amazing. I'd love to see that.
Ben Kissel
Let me ask you one thing. How would you like to win the Olympics?
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, it sounds really hard. Yeah, exactly.
Ben Kissel
Fly from your grave.

Update, the Suicide Pods that are based out of Europe. The guy who made the suicide pods thinks that AI should be in charge of them. So I'm not using it. That doesn't you know what it is? I ain't using the suicide Pod. I'm going to do it the old fashioned way by police officer jumping in front of a train while Henry and I are on tour. I.
Henry Zebrowski
It's funny because say what you will about me. Right. Obviously we're having problems with AI already. Or like in terms of just sucking up the water between grok. Making child porn because they, you know, do what you love and stuff like that. But the thing is, what do I trust even less? European AI.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't know why. Like I obviously don't trust American AI. But there's something about European AI that for me feels a little too like.
Ben Kissel
I feel like it's cuter somehow.
Henry Zebrowski
It's too easy breezy.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Like I feel like. Like I could just see an AI smoking a cigarette. Like breastfeeding a child out of a sack of wine. Like I could see it doing what Europeans do.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. I think it's fine.
Henry Zebrowski
A lot of bush hair.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. We're AI. Netflix knows.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. That's why we're here.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
What's awesome about this show right now is that you think we are doing it, but we're not. These are avatars. This is.
Ben Kissel
I'm eating a Philly cheesesteak right now.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. I'm fucking a homemade pig shaped fuck toy right now in a fucking shed.
Ben Kissel
The oinker. Boinker.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. In Ocala. I'm in Florida right now. I'm not working. I'm expressing my sexual deviance.
Ben Kissel
That's right.
Henry Zebrowski
Thank you, Netflix.
Ben Kissel
Thank you very much, Netflix. I tied the. The drawstring around my sweatpants to my shoelaces so it stays down and I never stop masturbating.
Henry Zebrowski
Wow. That's a real father.
Ben Kissel
I wonder if my mother in law is gonna watch this.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
You know, she won't figure out.
Henry Zebrowski
People are gonna watch those. They can't figure it out. Even my mom is like, she can't. They don't know. They don't know how to get to us. We definitely need to still well hidden on the app.
Ben Kissel
Oh yeah. No, I couldn't find us for like days.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah. We're well hidden. Don't worry. But if you type in last L.
Ben Kissel
A S T, are we the first thing that comes up or just for.
Henry Zebrowski
You, one of them.
Ben Kissel
What else comes up?
Henry Zebrowski
There's some things. Yeah, there's some good stuff. Yeah, there's some stuff.
Ben Kissel
All right, man. You. I saw the. The new Matt Damon Ben Affleck movie.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, the new on the rip. The rip.
Ben Kissel
I like it because I like all Florida movies.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, sure.
Ben Kissel
It's not very good.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. We're starting good on Netflix.
Ben Kissel
We'll see what they censor here. That's a personal opinion.
Henry Zebrowski
No, they're allowed. It's a personal opinion. If they shut us off for personal opinions, we're. We're going to start the revolution right fucking now.
Ben Kissel
I love how, like, I said all these horrible things about, like, Greg Beno eating a covered cookie, but I'm really worried about getting canceled from Netflix because I don't like the rip.
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, I think that's actually a more valid thing to worry about. Anticipating notes about this part. For sure. There's going to. I get more valid to worry about. But you know what? I'll say they're Murdoch series. It's the best of all. No.
Ben Kissel
Well, that's the great thing about them all, the true crime. That's why I never got rid of it.
Henry Zebrowski
No, it's great.
Ben Kissel
How to keep it.
Henry Zebrowski
So let's go do some of these other stories. Do we want to start with a couple of fun ones? First of all, this one just got floated to me, and I wanted to just talk about this because someone randomly sent me this, and I haven't thought about this person in a very long time. And I had no idea how it all played out.
Ben Kissel
Oh, this is your boy. Let's talk about it.
Henry Zebrowski
All right, so if any. Does anybody remember the Glonky Guy?
Ben Kissel
I never heard of him, but I'm enthralled now.
Henry Zebrowski
All right, so look up the Glonky guy.
Ben Kissel
Are we allowed to show this video?
Henry Zebrowski
No, we're gonna show the video. Yes, I've already asked.
Ben Kissel
Okay, cool.
Henry Zebrowski
So play this interview right here. So this is Kyle Braun, otherwise known as the Glonky Guy. He did this funny viral interview six years ago. Now he's not the guy asking questions. He's the guy. He's the guy that says the words. I'm feeling pretty clunky right now. What's up?
Ben Kissel
What's up? What's up? How you feeling, man? I'm pretty glucky. Say what? I'm fine.
Henry Zebrowski
What? Yeah, I'm good.
Ben Kissel
How are you?
Henry Zebrowski
I'm good.
Ben Kissel
Can you finish these lyrics real quick? Okay. Back home again I can't wait to get back on the road again Back again Dude, like, throw the bag. I don't know if I noticed all.
Henry Zebrowski
Just look at this.
Ben Kissel
Back home again, back home again In Indiana land Looks like a culin that lives in a bong.
Henry Zebrowski
His name is Kyle Brown and that day this street interviewer found him. He seemed to be. I think he was probably On a couple of hits of acid, he was really enjoying himself. He was really. I think so. Probably some form of illusion.
Ben Kissel
I just saw him as like a. A stoner that can't. Just gets more stone than everyone else.
Henry Zebrowski
That's kind of what they were saying. They thought he maybe did, but it turns out he stabbed his mother nearly to death.
Ben Kissel
So that's clunky.
Henry Zebrowski
Three years after that, Kyle Braun stabbed his mother hard. Right. Stabbed her up and down, back and forth, and he left the knife inside of her skull.
Ben Kissel
Left a knife in her skull.
Henry Zebrowski
Left knife in her skull to the point where the neighbors came over, heard her screaming. Right. Which is sad.
Ben Kissel
Kyle Brown.
Henry Zebrowski
This is another member of my Sinister six. The glunky guy is right next to the piggyback Bandit. He's right next to the Silent Man. Butt sniffer. I want to build this crew. I want to take this crew on a job. I want to go to. I want to kill the Ayatollah. I think the goal is to take these guys. We're going to kill the Ayatollah. The goal is to go over Iran, fix up this situation. Right. Kyle Braun, the glunky guy, he then also goes on to sue. He stabbed his mother. It's very bad. Right. The neighbors all came out. She was screaming. The neighbor came, and they said that he was holding the knife into her own skull because he had to keep the knife in her skull. Bite, just like, if you take it out. So he was just, like, gently holding the knife in her skull. She lived, she lives. Cal Bron goes on to then beat the. Out of his public defender.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Because let's just say Kyle Braun didn't have to scratch for the guy that. What's his name, Nick Reiner, was gonna get. I mean, I have quite the scratch for that.
Ben Kissel
Nick Reiner got fired.
Henry Zebrowski
That guy got fired.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Oh, the guy got fired. I thought he fired Reiner.
Henry Zebrowski
He fired Reiner. He's trying to still say, oh, you know, Reiner's definitely not guilty.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, no, he's just trying to get another job. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
But, yeah.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, I don't. Also, Kyle Braun, I don't think it beat the shit out of. Is a good. He. He land punches.
Henry Zebrowski
That's a lot on a public defender. Most of them know how to fight.
Ben Kissel
But, you know, face, head, and arm. So there's, like, we could say two of them probably went to the arm.
Henry Zebrowski
But either way, it is really thrown off his trial. He's still. He's been in bars. He's been behind bars ever Since. Yeah, he's not going anywhere. He hasn't gotten his trial yet. He really. He's literally just sitting there. But I will say, if you want to, you can go check out. His mom wrote a book. Oh, she wrote a book. Which is.
Ben Kissel
I got. My New Year's resolution is to read 10 books this year, but I feel.
Henry Zebrowski
Like this one you could maybe skip, only just because it just seems like it might need to be fully in there. But she. She wrote a book called I Saw. Was it what I. When I Saw God's Hand. Is the book that she wrote all about what it was like when she almost died when her son stabbed her?
Ben Kissel
She looks so happy.
Henry Zebrowski
She is the happiest woman to have her son almost murder her that I've ever seen.
Ben Kissel
It barely looks like she was stabbed in the head.
Henry Zebrowski
You can never. You can barely. You know what? It. It's the bangs. This is where a lot of bangs come into play, you know, because it can cover that puncture wound. She's very sweet. She's alive. I don't like the fact that immediately it was all about how God saved her when it was her neighbors. And your neighbor saved you, lady. They are the ones not God. God had nothing to do with it. God created your son. God created the miracle of birth that created the murderer that was supposed to fucking kill you. Okay, so she hasn't forgiven her son. She doesn't talk to her son. Not quite Christ. Like in my imagination.
Ben Kissel
She sells the book at Farmer's Market.
Henry Zebrowski
She does seems like. Go and check out When I Saw God's Hand and it was the left one. I think it's a book fair. He hit her, to be fair.
Ben Kissel
He hit her with the pen.
Henry Zebrowski
God's got that big backhand. He let her have it. That's why I'm not having kids. I just saw. I just wanted to cover this whole thing so you could remember that sometimes your memes. Memes are people. And when memes are people, they sometimes don't just stay within the meme. Sometimes they go to a bunch of other bad stuff.
Ben Kissel
Such beautiful words.
Henry Zebrowski
I'm feeling pretty clunky right now. I didn't think.
Ben Kissel
A bad sign.
Henry Zebrowski
It's a bad sign, buddy. I'm feeling pretty clunky right now, all right? So just know that anytime that glonky feeling comes up, you just want to push it down.
Ben Kissel
Oh, man. Well, I got a story I want to share with you, which is my favorite story of the week, and that is New York City. Mom, Don me's New York City is changing, Rob. You're going to be so proud of this, man. Cop under investigation after fatally shooting raccoon.
Henry Zebrowski
They're literally. Police officers are going to have to use yarn to arrest people.
Ben Kissel
When we lived in New York, they were straight up killing children and no one cared.
Henry Zebrowski
I remember when they strangled to death the guy from the bodega. You remember, they straight.
Ben Kissel
What's that guy? They strangled him because he was just selling cigarettes.
Henry Zebrowski
His. Lucy's.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, I remember that.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. I remember the old days when it was like, you used to go down to the L train. You see two guys with assault rifles just going like, what kind of white are you? What kind of white are you? Like that kind of shit. Like, it's kind of crazy, man. Wow. You're going to be different.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. New York police officer fatally shot a raccoon at the beach. Piece of. You know, honestly.
Henry Zebrowski
But I will say it's raccoon shouldn't be on the beach.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. So apparently the police officer said they were trying to usher the raccoon to a safe location when the animals suddenly charged a group of people in an aggressive manner. So he just pulled out his guns. It just shot it in front of a bunch of people. First off, what's. What's everyone doing at the beach? It's cold out.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. I mean, no, it's not. You know, people do that in Coney island for some reason I never understood.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. So anyway, they're. They're looking at the body cam footage and where he. He was shouting audibly side. After the gunshot.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, man.
Ben Kissel
He knows.
Henry Zebrowski
He's just like, God damn. I'm gonna write me up for this, Aren't they?
Ben Kissel
Do I have to tell anybody?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Do I?
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Is this an act? Is this a crime? Have I done a crime?
Ben Kissel
When you kill a rag. When you shoot a raccoon, do you just put it back in the trash?
Henry Zebrowski
I just think it's because everybody saw it. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
The chalk outline was the hardest part.
Henry Zebrowski
So cute. It's small. We'll talk about again. Did it have a phone on it? If the raccoon had a phone on it, you might want to blow its brains out because you can't allow them to fucking film you. God knows. It's not like you have body cams as it is.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. I think this is a good time for. To remind everybody how often cops kill animals.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ben Kissel
Do you know that on average, everyone's.
Henry Zebrowski
Going to hate this saddest part of the episode.
Ben Kissel
On average, cops kill. Are you ready for this 25 to 30 dogs a day, It's not a hard statistic, but it's an average of 10,000 a year.
Henry Zebrowski
God damn.
Ben Kissel
Personally, when I was arrested, at least they went. They shot the dog.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, that's right. I know. They shot my dog.
Ben Kissel
Lived, though.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. That was really wasn't my dog.
Ben Kissel
It was my friend's dog. But that dog lived. No, but they. Yes. So, you know, just to remember, keep your dogs away from cops.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah. Lock them up. Which is also most cops. Dude, say keep. Put the dogs away. Yes, always do. So when you. When you're calling the cops over to, you know, like to tell them about how you know for a fact that Katy Perry is planning to assassinate your dentist. Right. Put the dogs away.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. It's really a sad search on the old Internet when you start looking at the videos. Because you know what? What? The dogs aren't always big.
Henry Zebrowski
No, they're not. No, no, no.
Ben Kissel
A lot of times they're very small like your dogs.
Henry Zebrowski
I can actually see Car me getting herself in quite a bit of trouble with a police officer.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
I can really see Carmi doing that. I know. Yeah. And that's why I talked about it with Natalie. If someone breaks into the house, I've said this where I pick up Carmi, throw Carmi at the guy coming to the house, and she's like, you're gonna sacrifice the dog? I was like, carmi has been wanting to do that to every person coming in this house since we got her. That's fulfilling her dream.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, man. I think if a cop shot Tootsie, her last words would be like, thank you. Yeah, I can't die.
Henry Zebrowski
It's one of those. You shoot until you shoot her. She's dead. And she just. You're like, all like, morning and stuff and then toots each other.
Ben Kissel
T1000.
Henry Zebrowski
What the. And you gotta kill her now you're stabbing her. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Ma', am, it.
Henry Zebrowski
Do we want to do a story? Do we want to begin our death pool conversation?
Ben Kissel
I. Well, I just. Real quick, I think it's worth mentioning one more animal tech.
Henry Zebrowski
Great.
Ben Kissel
This woman was.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, this one is great.
Ben Kissel
This one's fun.
Henry Zebrowski
This one's the person got attacked.
Ben Kissel
Yes. A skiing tourist in China was taking a selfie with a snow leopard. And it straight up bitter face off.
Henry Zebrowski
Don't do it. What is people. People have. Have so much confidence when it comes to jungle cats. I don't understand.
Ben Kissel
We never see snow leopards, so I can understand, like, wanting to get a.
Henry Zebrowski
Picture of it from A far away.
Ben Kissel
You don't have to be in the picture. If you have a picture of a snow leopard, I'm gonna believe you.
Henry Zebrowski
Take a picture of yourself separate. Oh my God. You just see this lady being carried. Oh my God. Carrying her face onto her face. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Literally, the. The snow leopard is just sitting there just like, what do you want from me?
Ben Kissel
Like. L. I.
Henry Zebrowski
Like I did nothing to do with. It's sitting there.
Ben Kissel
I did not consent to this photograph.
Henry Zebrowski
I got nothing to do. I don't know who this bitch is. I don't know what this situation is. I was hanging out. She put her face in my face.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Ripped her fucking nose off.
Ben Kissel
She got closer than 10ft and then it fucking attacked her as it should have.
Henry Zebrowski
Never get close to a snow leopard because guess what people are always trying to do to snow leopards? Murder it.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
It's the reason why it's endangered is because people murdered it for its coat over and over again. So probably even has some sort of like memory or understanding that humans are bad.
Ben Kissel
It don't like us.
Henry Zebrowski
No.
Ben Kissel
And it shouldn't.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't like us because they just. They know to give us a lot of le. That snow leopard is for its own sake saving itself from us.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
That's why it's doing it.
Ben Kissel
So I think this lady is a candidate for our pool but not going to make it.
Henry Zebrowski
No. Because she lived, she lives. She's just going to be. She's just going to be probably taking a heck of a lot less selfies when you have a face transplant.
Ben Kissel
So Henry and I were talking about this and we know it is just because people.
Henry Zebrowski
I'm not even saying anything, but we've seen some of these face transplants, right, Rob? Yes.
Ben Kissel
Have we seen somebody.
Henry Zebrowski
To finally be able to not hear their screams. It's so nice to be able to leave my house and not hear the children scream and gasps, you know. But they're brave and we. We have to like them.
Ben Kissel
I think she'll be okay.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't care. I don't care if she's okay. I think it's stupid. I blame her entirely.
Ben Kissel
I mean, of course you blame her entirely. An appetor either way. Henry and I had a long talk about doing a death pool this year. And we know that it is morally reprehensible. I think is a good. Is a good way to put it.
Henry Zebrowski
That's what some people say. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
But we figured out how to make our death pool decent amongst humanity.
Henry Zebrowski
What we have decided to do Is that what we're gonna. I think because we're. We all have fun. People love to bet, right? We love to bet. We never get to do it. I hate sports and I hate all this stuff. You don't like gambling, but. Yeah, but this isn't gambling.
Ben Kissel
Right.
Henry Zebrowski
This is fun.
Ben Kissel
Right.
Henry Zebrowski
So the goal here is that, no.
Ben Kissel
We'Re losing the money no matter what.
Henry Zebrowski
We, Eddie and I, make no money.
Ben Kissel
We make nothing. That is how this is. Okay. We make no money. How? With. If we're gonna pick three people that we know are gonna die, we think.
Henry Zebrowski
People that were certain that we're gonna die, a fourth person we consider outlier. Yes. Right. Of those three people, if one of them dies this year, in the year of 2026, we will give a hundred dollars for each person that dies to the way that they died. We will give to the cause.
Ben Kissel
So if it's lung cancer, we're gonna give to the Lion King Society. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
If it's old age, I'm just gonna give money to a baby.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Or. Or a nursing home or something.
Henry Zebrowski
Something like that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we're gonna do something like that. Right. And then the goal is that if our fourth person dies, if the outlier.
Ben Kissel
Dies, the odd person, that we're just pick.
Henry Zebrowski
Them that to that charity. $1,000. Right. So you might want to hope that one of the outliers die.
Ben Kissel
Yes. Now, I know what you're thinking. What happens if you're three definitely going to die? People don't die. Well, we thought of that, and what we're going to do is if Henry's people all. If he picks three people and they all live, at the end of the year, he's going to give $300 to the charity of my choice. Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Yep.
Ben Kissel
And then. And then vice versa. The same way.
Henry Zebrowski
So that's what we're going to do. We're going to. And then if it die, if each one of them dies, we give them all out. We're going to pay out all money.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. That's how we're doing it.
Henry Zebrowski
So that's what we're gonna do. And now let's get to the fun part is who's gonna die?
Ben Kissel
Oh, and Trump and Biden don't count.
Henry Zebrowski
We decided no Trump, no Biden. And we also basically decided if it's extremely political, technically, we should have it be even. Only for the sake of fun.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Because honestly, I'd wipe them all out if I could. I'd literally blow up the White House if I Was allowed to. You can all.
Ben Kissel
You only have to be president to do that.
Henry Zebrowski
I know. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Jealous. And he got to rip the whole wall off.
Ben Kissel
So I got three definitely gonna dies this year.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ben Kissel
On my death list. And the first one I think probably could die by the time this comes out. And that's Gary Ridgeway. Sure. Oh, wow.
Henry Zebrowski
Eddie.
Ben Kissel
Gary Ridgeway is number one on my death pool.
Henry Zebrowski
Okay.
Ben Kissel
Because he is actively dying in prison.
Henry Zebrowski
We know that he's dying.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
That he's dying.
Ben Kissel
People have sent us messages. It's been in the news. You know. He is actively dying in prison. What's it. What's his sickness, Rob? What's he dying?
Henry Zebrowski
He's got a. He's got a cancer.
Ben Kissel
He's got a cancer. Okay. So I think, like this is like a lock.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ben Kissel
I feel like I'm gonna give a hundred dollars to cancer pretty soon. Gary Ridgeway's gonna die. He's like a part of our show.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. I think it makes a heck of a lot of sense.
Ben Kissel
And like, I did one of those buzzfeed things years ago where it's like, you know, find out which serial killer you are. Yeah. And I was the Green River Killer. That makes sense. So I feel like I have this connection to Gary Ridgewood.
Henry Zebrowski
You're just like him.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Barely can read, loves strangling workers. Yes. Refused to read Gary Ridgeway, though actually was. He was probably developing. Probably developmentally handicapped. But we'll get to it.
Ben Kissel
All right. Who's your first guy?
Henry Zebrowski
I think, because now you said that Gary Ridgeway is yours. I will also show my lock. That's your lock? Yeah, My lock for this year. Yeah. Unfortunately, Buzz Aldrin.
Ben Kissel
You think so?
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. That's my lock for this year is Buzzer, because I think that originally was going to be Mel Brooks, but I can't do it. I also. He's going to live out of spite.
Ben Kissel
Mel Brooks is going to keep going for a while.
Henry Zebrowski
I think Dick Van Dyke is going to live this year.
Ben Kissel
I think Dick Van Dyke's going to make it.
Henry Zebrowski
So Buzz Aldrin.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Is my.
Ben Kissel
You think? Definitely. How is. How do you think he's going to die? Is he sick?
Henry Zebrowski
I think massive heart attack.
Ben Kissel
Massive heart attack for Buzz Aldrin.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. I think in his sleep.
Ben Kissel
Well, he did punch that reporter, right?
Henry Zebrowski
He gets angry.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
He gets angry.
Ben Kissel
All right.
Henry Zebrowski
So I put him on there. I put just his birthday. Yes.
Ben Kissel
96 years old, reportedly facing declining health and increasing isolation following the death of his wife. Yes. They always die right after the wife.
Henry Zebrowski
I'm just saying. Only for the pool, I think. I don't want him really now. But it's a pool.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. No, no, like I said, we're donating, you know, we're. This is going back to the people. It's going back to the people. All right, my next person who I think is close to a lock, but not a lock. William Shatner. Yeah, sure. I think we're losing the Shat man this year.
Henry Zebrowski
He's old. He's old. He's been in the news recently.
Ben Kissel
I think he's gonna boldly go.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I could possibly see that. He's not looking great. He does get. Again, he's a bit angry.
Ben Kissel
He's in the Hollywood Hills. I know that. He owns a bunch of Domer pinchers. Yeah. Hey, you have walked by his house. I've seen they've barked very, very loudly. Good.
Henry Zebrowski
As they should be. I hope he trained them to attack.
Ben Kissel
But yeah, William Shatner. I mean, I'm surprised he's still alive. He's always looked very unhealthy to me.
Henry Zebrowski
He's an alcoholic.
Ben Kissel
Bulk. But not. Probably not anymore.
Henry Zebrowski
Who knows?
Ben Kissel
I don't think you could be that long.
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, you'd be surprised, man.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
What is it in this?
Ben Kissel
Oh, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
He eats cereal while he's driving.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could be a car accident. What if it's a car accident?
Henry Zebrowski
To be honest, eating cereal while driving, bringing the bowl out, that's a baller move.
Ben Kissel
Honestly, I'm kind of rethinking everything I'm saying right now.
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, that's kind of.
Ben Kissel
He's out eating cereal in the streets.
Henry Zebrowski
He might be pretty capable.
Ben Kissel
He might be fine.
Henry Zebrowski
The fact that he could have a bottle of liquid in his lap and drive, that kind of speaks. He might have a little more control over his. His faculties.
Ben Kissel
You think he would. Oh, yeah, that's a bit. Is that flax?
Henry Zebrowski
I think it's flaxen brand.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's gonna stay in regular.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, he really has.
Ben Kissel
You got to stay regular at home, though.
Henry Zebrowski
Don't do it on the move, dude. I take whatever I can. I am so full of fiber. I will. Your pants.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, they don't call him the Shat man for nothing.
Henry Zebrowski
I am filled with legumes. All right. Yeah. So there's that one. Okay. My next one. One Sad. I think this is going to be close to a lock.
Ben Kissel
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
Jack Nicholson.
Ben Kissel
You think so?
Henry Zebrowski
I think this might be.
Ben Kissel
He's not Even on the. The official list. He's not even on it.
Henry Zebrowski
I think this is the year.
Ben Kissel
I feel like he's healthier than ever. I feel like he. I feel like he could have died, like, four or five years ago, but now I feel like he's on an uptick.
Henry Zebrowski
Apparently, his dementia is very. It is accelerating.
Ben Kissel
Well, you know what we say about that dimension. It.
Henry Zebrowski
Don't mention it. Come on, y'.
Ben Kissel
All.
Henry Zebrowski
Come on, y'.
Ben Kissel
All. I don't know, man. He's been going to Lakers games lately. He's been in public more. I feel like Jack's gonna around for a little bit longer.
Henry Zebrowski
Who knows? Look at.
Ben Kissel
He's signing autographs. This is a good time.
Henry Zebrowski
2016, buddy. That was nine years ago.
Ben Kissel
Oh, God, he looks awful.
Henry Zebrowski
That was 10 years ago, man.
Ben Kissel
Oh, that was a long time ago.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, it really was. Oh. Oh, yeah. Was. Yeah. He's very old.
Ben Kissel
I love how you chose him over Roman Polanski.
Henry Zebrowski
You know what it is? It's just something about European life. They live better. They live better life. They live a higher quality of life. They get better food. They're more relaxed. He now wrote, roman Blansky doesn't have to do anything. Anything. Yeah, that's the best part about being canceled in Europe. They love when you're canceled in Europe. If you're an old rapist in Europe, they put you in the government just like we do. But they do it with the old guys.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, or they took. They took the prince out, you know?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Barely.
Henry Zebrowski
Andrew, formerly known as Barely, got fired from being a prince.
Ben Kissel
Like, it doesn't come with a huge package that he just gets to live off of another castle.
Henry Zebrowski
He just gets to be. He just gets to do nothing.
Ben Kissel
Now.

Crispy chicken nuggets from Taco Bell, a brand new classic at participating US Taco Bell locations for a limited time only while supplies last.
Ben Kissel
All right, my guy, this one's also very, very sad. He's currently experiencing age related health challenges. But, you know, he is a hundred. So I think that is, you know, part of it. And I think we're going to lose, unfortunately, I think we're going to lose David Attenborough.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I could see him finally being sick of talking about anglerfish. And I could see him finally just saying, you know what this Blue earth. I am sick and tired of this blue dam earth. All I wish to do is be consumed by the lions that I see out on here, deep into the sarin gat.
Ben Kissel
I was watching one of his shows recently, and he does this thing in one of the shows where they, like, just take him and they. They literally put him in the middle of the jungle and he can't walk and he's just kind of standing. There we are in the great episode, the wonderful, wonderful.
Henry Zebrowski
This is the dead middle of the Amazon and I am here surrounded by spiders, wondering which one will claim my death.
Ben Kissel
So I really feel like he could die out in the wild. Would be the cabal seeing death for David Attenborough. I would. I hope he gets ripped apart by gorillas so I can give money to gorillas.
Henry Zebrowski
I would rather him get ripped apart by animals and like himself, the death of some horrific virus out there.
Ben Kissel
I tell you what, after 80. Yes, for me, too. Like, I'd much rather.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't want to get ripped apart.
Ben Kissel
By animals beforehand, but after 80, let's rock. Okay, let's do this.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I get it. Because then it's just like, give me something new. Yeah, give me something new. Everything's boring.
Ben Kissel
Know what I like about this show is I've predicted my death in every single way so that whenever I do die, definitely have a clip.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, anytime. That's the idea. Making content. All right, here we go. Here's my third fall into a thresher machine, I think.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. My tits ripped off by a threshing machine.
Henry Zebrowski
It's incredible. What we need to do is put these up on the wall behind us, though, for the rest of the year, too.
Ben Kissel
Oh, yeah. Then we can put X's over their face.
Henry Zebrowski
So my. My third.
Ben Kissel
Or at least over their tube stones.
Henry Zebrowski
My third is. He's under a lot of stress right now, and I think that it's going to really affect him because he looks like absolute Noam Chomsky.
Ben Kissel
Oh, yeah. Noam Chomsky. I feel like that's a lock.
Henry Zebrowski
I think Noam Chomsky's a lock, so I think he's going down this year. I think that he's got nothing left to say. I think the final words that he will say that will be. That will be forever uttered across the world is, bring that little girl and put her on my penis. The pedophile.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Is he?
Ben Kissel
Probably. Oh, I don't know. I thought he was a decent guy. I don't really know much about him.
Henry Zebrowski
Noam Chomsky Is one of Epstein's best friends.
Ben Kissel
He's.
Henry Zebrowski
He's a part of one of EP's gal pals. He was in all the pictures. Like, he love. They love each other.
Ben Kissel
Oh, okay. All right. Well, see you later. No.
Henry Zebrowski
Maybe this would be the year the GI free epine finally dies, too.
Ben Kissel
Yes. We're going to find him. Oh, yeah, there he is, just hanging on the plane, having a great time.
Henry Zebrowski
Everything he has to say, let's now. Let's go through our. Our Al. Like, let's go through our options now.
Ben Kissel
While he's dying, they're going to have to change his name to Moan Chomsky.
Henry Zebrowski
That's if he doesn't lose his tongue and throat.
Ben Kissel
I hope he doesn't get eed. All right.
Henry Zebrowski
That was the worst part about him because he loved ice cream. God, the Eber must have been so sad when he couldn't lick anymore.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Where did the popcorn go?
Henry Zebrowski
I know. I think he just got. He had to just shove it in that little bandana.
Ben Kissel
All right, here. I got five, but I'm gonna. I just wanted to talk to you about my five.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. Because three that I think, because I'm.
Ben Kissel
Gonna pick one of these five.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ben Kissel
And if one of these five, I mean, for my own brain, I should probably pick the one I think is going to live because I don't want to pay the grand.
Henry Zebrowski
But I mean, you. I'm gonna.
Ben Kissel
I'm gonna. But now I'm going to pick, like, where I'm gonna go. I'm gonna take one of these guys who I think is gonna die. But I really need your opinion, because I think a lot of these guys are close. A lot of these guys are random. Like, I think first one on my. My maybe list. Andy Dick.
Henry Zebrowski
Okay.
Ben Kissel
I feel like Andy Dick, you know.
Henry Zebrowski
He'S probably close to even just a regular death, you know, he is.
Ben Kissel
The thing is, Andy Dick is, like, in rehab right now, so it could work, and I could be wrong or.
Henry Zebrowski
Not, or he commits a crime and he finally gets murdered the way he needs to be.
Ben Kissel
Yes, that's very true.
Henry Zebrowski
It's very possible.
Ben Kissel
It's very true.
Henry Zebrowski
When I do my alternates, my thing with my, like, the kind of the. I chose, though, girls, because no, I don't want.
Ben Kissel
No one wants to watch a woman die.
Henry Zebrowski
Think of a young woman dying. It's always murder, right? It's never like, something we can even joke about, you know? So I think the first one I.
Ben Kissel
Talking about, we joke about people getting murdered every day. That's Our job. It's what we got hired for.
Henry Zebrowski
So it's like my number one choice for the outliers.
Ben Kissel
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
Finn Wolfhard.
Ben Kissel
Really?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. From Netflix. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
You're talking about an outlier.
Ben Kissel
That is an outlier.
Henry Zebrowski
Because he just hosted snl.
Ben Kissel
No, it's.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Oh, okay. Oh, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
He did great, right?
Ben Kissel
Yeah, I'm sure he was fine.
Henry Zebrowski
I'm just saying. That's my.
Ben Kissel
That's your. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
That's your outline.
Ben Kissel
That's why it's a thousand dollars. I pick people who I think are going to die.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Andy Dick. All right, next one, Bill O'Reilly.
Henry Zebrowski
Wow. I didn't even realize he was still alive.
Ben Kissel
75, 76. And he's. We got to remember, dude's huge.
Henry Zebrowski
He's got cancer. He's got. He's sick.
Ben Kissel
Is he sick?
Henry Zebrowski
He's always got something. He's got something. He's all full of hate.
Ben Kissel
He's gigantic.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. He's a big man.
Ben Kissel
Like, it really. He really is full of. I, I was standing next to him once when he was still employed over at Fox News.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
And I had no idea how, like, huge and heavy breathing he was. And that was a long time ago.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. He's a big piece of.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
So he didn't make a great dead guy.
Ben Kissel
But those evil people, they live forever.
Henry Zebrowski
I know.
Ben Kissel
Dick Cheney, like, you know that kind of stuff.
Henry Zebrowski
Absolutely.
Ben Kissel
You know, and so I, I really feel like. But I'm, I'm saying Bill O'Reilly's very high on my list.
Henry Zebrowski
Got it.
Ben Kissel
He's got like 20 pound ears. You know, that's got to be weighing down his neck.
Henry Zebrowski
No, it's got killing him.
Ben Kissel
He's dying.
Henry Zebrowski
His ears are now at the point where they're growing independent of the rest of his body.
Ben Kissel
Bill O'Reilly reveals mystery health battle.
Henry Zebrowski
O. He stands back from work. As I was saying, he's not feeling good.
Ben Kissel
All right. He's leading my outlier list right now.
Henry Zebrowski
Second one, deforvid. Defor. So I'm choosing.
Ben Kissel
You think he's going to. You think he's going to do it himself?
Henry Zebrowski
I think he's going to kill himself.
Ben Kissel
Right?
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ben Kissel
I mean, suicide hotline needs $1,000. I think that be great.
Henry Zebrowski
Absolutely does.
Ben Kissel
I mean, that'd be great if you sent it to them.
Henry Zebrowski
They're going to try to offer him a deal. It seems like it because they're. They also got his other buddy arrested recently. His friend got arrested. We don't really know what the hell is going on with this Case. We don't really. We know that he's supposed to be charged with the crime.
Ben Kissel
Bought a. He bought an incinerator.
Henry Zebrowski
But I do believe deforvid is going to be. Not for the long. For this world.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. That's my view. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, defor. I really don't want Henry to win this. Dial 988. Just think about it.
Henry Zebrowski
If you got to. If you got to. Or don't make the money.
Ben Kissel
My next. All right, so I got a couple. So I'm going to burn through, like, two of them right now, actually. I'm just going to go my other three, and then. Then I'm going to pick. I'm going to pick one after you go.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
Ben Kissel
Chris Christie.
Henry Zebrowski
Okay.
Ben Kissel
Easily. I mean, huge, man. Definitely been putting a lot of Taylor ham into that heart. A lot of pork rolls going in there, dude.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yes.
Ben Kissel
You know, and I'm not sure how much of it's actually coming. Coming out, so I think. I think Chris Christie easily could die this year. I think, you know, he's been fat for his whole life. I think that could take him out. David. Ike.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, David. I could go.
Ben Kissel
David. I could go.
Henry Zebrowski
David. I could go.
Ben Kissel
This could be. This could be the year that we lose him.
Henry Zebrowski
David. I could go.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. And then Jon Voight.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. You know what? They're all.
Ben Kissel
John Void looks really bad.
Henry Zebrowski
He really does.
Ben Kissel
He looks really, really bad.
Henry Zebrowski
These are. Or any of these outliers. I feel like a lot of these are guys. Well, they're not very much that I.
Ben Kissel
They're not on the actual list.
Henry Zebrowski
Ah. That's what.
Ben Kissel
That's what I consider an outlier. You know, they're like.
Henry Zebrowski
It's the Vegas death pool.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Thing. See, because my third outlier. Pope Leo.
Ben Kissel
Pope Leo.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Wow.
Ben Kissel
I think we're gonna deal with this motherfucker for, like 20 years.
Henry Zebrowski
I think.
Ben Kissel
I think we got a 20 year post.
Henry Zebrowski
I think he gets sick and die any day.
Ben Kissel
No.
Henry Zebrowski
You never know.
Ben Kissel
How old is he? How old's Pope Leo, though? I think these are my outliers. I. Yeah, yeah. Pope Leo. Age 70. We could have Pope Leo for 20 years.
Henry Zebrowski
Who knows?
Ben Kissel
I think they keep these guys alive.
Henry Zebrowski
Depends on what crimes they do. Benedicto stood down.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Remember, Benedicto said no more.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. The Nazi pope. Yep. And he died, too.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
All right.
Ben Kissel
Okay. These are good.
Henry Zebrowski
I will choose Pope Leo.
Ben Kissel
Pope Leo. You're choosing Pope Leo.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ben Kissel
All right. Okay. And I am out of my guys. John. Convoy. David Ike. Chris Christie. Andy Dick and Bill O'Reilly. I think most likely Bill's gonna go.
Henry Zebrowski
I think. Well, that's the most likely. That's why I feel like it's not an outlier. I feel like you need to choose one that's a little bit more iffy. I think Andy Dick is a good one.
Ben Kissel
Andy Dick's a good one. Only because he grabbed my dick one time personally, and I. And I actually just don't like it.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, my pick. Rob's pick is Bill Cosby. You don't.
Ben Kissel
How is Cosby not on the list.
Henry Zebrowski
Up in Memphis? Because nobody. Nobody cares. Because nobody want. Nobody cares if he lives or dies.
Ben Kissel
Here's the thing is he isn't doing anything.
Henry Zebrowski
No.
Ben Kissel
He's just sitting around chilling. He could do that for a while.
Henry Zebrowski
My uncle keeps threatening to go on tour.
Ben Kissel
My Uncle Alby spent. He died at, like, I want to say, almost 90, and he lied in a hospital bed in his dining room for 10 years. You never know how long these people could just stick around in their own home.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, I know. We're going to watch our current. Our current president is going to stack Dagger through the next three years, and we're going to watch it. We're going to watch every day as he melts further and further into his shoes.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
We are going to see that pedophile die on his feet until he. He's not going to die.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
His body is going to live. His body is going to live. I'm going to say Trump's going to live another 10, 15 years.
Ben Kissel
I mean, they're keeping him alive on some kind of his pure.
Henry Zebrowski
He's going to be a vegetable.
Ben Kissel
I mean, we saw how quickly his ear healed. I mean, they're really taking care of him.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, he's like Wolverine. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We're gonna see him die in the next. I could say he'll be. He'll be dead to that point, but he's gonna. He's gonna do. I'm saying, 10, 15 years.
Ben Kissel
All right. My official list of people definitely gonna go David Attenborough, William Shatner, Gary Ridgeway. Okay. And my outlier is gonna be Andy Dick. Yep. Handy Dick.
Henry Zebrowski
Mine is Buzz Aldrin.
Ben Kissel
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
Jack Nicholson.
Ben Kissel
Jack Nicholson.
Henry Zebrowski
The third was the Noam Chomsky.
Ben Kissel
Noam Chomsky.
Henry Zebrowski
And my outlier is Pope Leo.
Ben Kissel
Pope Leo. All right. Okay. I like this. I don't feel like. I feel like the Pope's going to be fine. I think you're safe at your grand.
Henry Zebrowski
But it's just more just like if you want to be a big shocker. Yeah. About big shit. What's a big shocker? That's what I thought. It's not really like.
Ben Kissel
That's the thing. Andy Dick isn't like a shocker.
Henry Zebrowski
No. Like, it's more like what could complet come out of nowhere. And so I was trying to choose something that would also maybe not involve murder. Yes.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Yeah, right.
Henry Zebrowski
Anyone like, you know, they like Finn Wolfhard. I thought in my head, household accident. Oh, I could see it's like a ladder thing. Yeah. Falls. Falls down, falls in the night. Doesn't climb any ladder. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
He doesn't do anything. He doesn't even do his laundry.
Henry Zebrowski
Wolfhard. I like him as an. I think a good kid. He's a good actor.
Ben Kissel
Finn, I think you should come on the show and show Henry how healthy you are.
Henry Zebrowski
I would. I'm not trying to say. I'm saying I was trying to choose in my head.
Ben Kissel
His last is Wolfhard.
Henry Zebrowski
It was like, literally like the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. I was trying to think, who's the healthiest person you like, who's not gonna die? That was like the first thought of my head. It was like, Finn Wolfhard.
Ben Kissel
Finn Wolfhard's gonna.
Henry Zebrowski
Not gonna die. That's why I put him on the list. Is that because, like. Oh, because he's healthy, fun, doesn't do any dumb, just obviously doesn't seem to be doing hard drugs. Is out there having a good time, having just, like, loving life, having a positive time. His whole life is a happy of him. What a great tragedy that would lead towards a big, you know, payout to a charity. Yeah, but that's not what happened. I don't want that to happen, so I want the tragedy to happen to the Pope.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
So that's why I'm doing this now.
Ben Kissel
Do you have to give the money to the Catholic Church? No, no, because he's murdered by a bunch of bishops.
Henry Zebrowski
Then I would. Then I would if. No, it's more that if he dies, it shows that God doesn't help anybody. He dies early. It proves that God doesn't exist.
Ben Kissel
So I don't have to pay anything.
Henry Zebrowski
His people.
Ben Kissel
All right.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, we're going to get in trouble or whatever.
Ben Kissel
I mean. No, I mean, this is what they.
Henry Zebrowski
We're giving a charity.
Ben Kissel
We're giving it to charity.
Henry Zebrowski
This is satire.
Ben Kissel
This is that. I mean, we're really going to give the charity, though.
Henry Zebrowski
But that part's not sat.
Ben Kissel
That's not satire. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
The rest of it's just an expression. Depression.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. No, that's. I think, I think it's good to talk about death.
Henry Zebrowski
I, I think that part of the reason why I even wanted to do it is because the last year truly between losing my dad, talking to a bunch of people about death. Like as you've talked you've been through how many people come up to you constantly.
Ben Kissel
Oh man. Messages almost every day about people who lose their parents because I've lost both of mine.
Henry Zebrowski
I think that it really is such a. A In America we don't like talking about is a thing that we push down. And I think that it's okay to laugh a little bit about all the fucked up shit because we have to. And I also think that it's the. It's coming for us no matter what.
Ben Kissel
Absolutely.
Henry Zebrowski
And so we're all going to be preoccupied with it and we push it away and we don't talk about the death process because it scares all of us and it means we're not working. And I think that in America were very much like this idea that you know, we still, even, even a lot of us don't. This romantic idea of we don't retire, we work until the moment that we die our last breath and all this. You just like no, there's no time. It's like no one takes any time at their end of their life literally to die properly.
Ben Kissel
You know who took time and I think it was good that they did. Gene Hackman.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ben Kissel
He took like over 10 years. He chilled out the end of his life, you know and he's just like hung out at his house and he just. I mean he died very sadly. He did but still I think, you know, thank God he had those years to just chill. He doesn't need to yell on camera until he dies.
Henry Zebrowski
It doesn't matter how you die. All death is sad. Like he was going to happen either way. Is it is. Yeah. It was fogged up the way that he died. But dying like as in the fetal, you know, hospital bed is just as bad as sucks and dying that age.
Ben Kissel
In your own home. We should all be so lucky.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. And so I think that's why people get all icky icky about it. But I think that we're all going to die. We're all, all going to die.
Ben Kissel
So it. As long as it's not brutally by the police, who cares? That's that's thing man.
Henry Zebrowski
Can't take it with you.
Ben Kissel
So.
Henry Zebrowski
All right, so we here, we got some.
Ben Kissel
Should we get to you Got a listener mail.
Henry Zebrowski
I have plenty of listener mail.
Ben Kissel
Let's do one of those like, because last week we were talking about the guy who died in the dough mixer.
Henry Zebrowski
I forgot, I forgot. Also your buddies from Portland, they're the ones who sent in this awesome stuff. Stinger for listener email. Let's play it again.
Ben Kissel
Okay, cool.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Are you horny, Henry? Yes. Sure.
Ben Kissel
Now it's time for legendary.
Henry Zebrowski
That's awesome.
Ben Kissel
Thank you.
Henry Zebrowski
That's really great. Awesome. That's Werewolf.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Oh, Werewolf.
Henry Zebrowski
Werewolf. Werewolf.
Ben Kissel
Werewolf.
Henry Zebrowski
So we got so many up messages.
Ben Kissel
Messages. Yeah. Send side stories lpotlgmail.com if anyone wants to send us some good old new hate mail.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, Please, please just tell us what bastards we are.
Ben Kissel
Fun. I don't read it.
Henry Zebrowski
And so this one, everybody sent in messages. We last week we covered. It's kind of like talked about this. The story of a woman got stuck in this baking machine, immediately murdered up. Like horrific story. So we got. Because like a lot of our listeners work in the restaurant industry.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, we're kitchen people.
Henry Zebrowski
We have a lot of kitchen. Kitchen people. A of bakery industry. And so we got a lot of stuff.
Ben Kissel
I love you by the way.
Henry Zebrowski
We do. There's nothing I love more. There's nothing I cherish more or would protect with my very life. And a chef and a waiter.
Ben Kissel
That's right.
Henry Zebrowski
I love chefs and waiters and people that run restaurants more than any civil servant, more than any nurse, more than anything else. I think you are the best people of us.
Ben Kissel
I like chefs more than waiters, but like waiters more than man managers.
Henry Zebrowski
I was listening to your story about the woman who died in the bread mixer and reminded me of a cautionary tale that I've been told is a coffee roaster for a small independent company, Spring Hill Jack Coffee. That. That's not them, but reach out. What's going on, bro? Buyer coffee. It's still out there. The vast majority of coffee roasters use a drum roaster, most of which have a large tray on the front of the machine with an arm inside that that spins relatively slowly. Slowly, but with a huge amount of torque. This is to stir the coffee after it finishes roasting while a fan beneath the tray pulls air through it to cool the coffee as quickly as possible. When I started the job, I wore a Choco brand strap style bracelet that is common in the outdoor community. My boss saw it, warned me that I should probably not wear it to work because a coffee roaster I believe in either Colorado or California had Gotten her arm ripped, picked off by the stirrer. She was wearing the same style bracelet while she was roasting when I got hooked on the steering arm. And she proceeded to get pulled around the tray and up against the body of the roaster where the stirrer was able to break. Then remove her arm from about the mid forearm down. From what I understand, she lived. And they were. They were able to reattach her arm with very little long term problems.
Ben Kissel
Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
According to legend, she had a tattoo on her forearm that they were able to piece back together with only a small scar running through the middle. Oh.
Ben Kissel
Something to remember. Cool, right?
Henry Zebrowski
But be careful.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, those coffee roasters are big, dude.
Henry Zebrowski
Nothing dangly. Yeah, there's another one. Well, I was in the navy. We were briefed on the dangers of rotating machinery. Machines do not care if there is squishy human bits in the way it is. If it is strong enough to overcome the friction of human bones and senu being in the way, it will. I remember very distinctly a story and picture video they shared of a young woman who got a job at a shop that used lathes and other big equipment to make things out of metal. The operator on duty had sent her to go start a machine. And when she took longer than expected to come back, he went to investigate. He found was left of her wrapped around a large metal rod about a foot in diameter, recognized only by these scraps of fabric that made up her clothes. She was a mass of pulped meat and crushed bones squeezed tight by the clothing wrapped around the rope rod. Rotating machinery. Scary.
Ben Kissel
It is terrifying.
Henry Zebrowski
And this is the last. This one's like really? This? All of these are.
Ben Kissel
I mean, there's no way they're going to be nice. Here we go. This is.
Henry Zebrowski
This is a longer one. This one's really. I was so excited to hear you guys talk about the poor baker who died after getting caught in dough mixer.
Ben Kissel
I guess he's going to like this.
Henry Zebrowski
Episode because I celebrate death, but because I too have been caught in a dough mixer. Obviously I didn't die, but I have some gnarly photos. My first job out of college was in a ramen shop. One of the things that made this ramen shop stand out from the other shops in the area was the fact that we handmade all of our own noodles. We made a thinner, drier wheat noodle and a thicker, doughier, chewier egg noodle.
Ben Kissel
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
We use this very fancy machine imported from Japan. This machine had all the features. It would not only roll and cut the dough precisely but also had a built in dough mixer. I know exactly the machine. It costs a lot of money. I just saw it on cl. Culinary Class War, season two.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. If you gotta change out the thing, unplug it.
Henry Zebrowski
Culinary Class War on Netflix. Some best things I got in there. I want to be on. I want to be on that culinary class. Have you seen Culinary Classwork?
Ben Kissel
Are you pitching yourself for Netflix shows?
Henry Zebrowski
I can't get on that show. You have to be Korean. That's really good. The mixer consisted of a basin with a long rod welded inside. Attached to the long rod were smaller dull spikes that rotated on the rod to mix the dough. On the bottom of the basin was a removable plate that slid out to move the dough from the mixing basin to a container that could then be removed and placed on a conveyor belt to the dough press. The mixer was turned on and off by a lever on the side and also adjusted the speed of the mixing. When I started working there, I begged and pleaded to be out on the noodle duty. I was fully trained. I want to be on noodle duty, Daddy. Noodle duty for me. I was fully trained on how to make the noodles. And on the day I was scheduled to make the egg noodles for the first time, my co worker pointed to a sign in the wall that said, there's the instructions. Have fun. The egg noodle dough was a completely different consistency from the wheat noodles. The dough was stickier, thicker, a little.
Ben Kissel
Harder to work with. Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
I mixed all the ingredients and then I transferred my dough to the mixer to start mixing. When the dough is all mixed, I set the mixer to the lowest possible speed, remove the plate at the bottom of the the basin. And then I did it. I stuck my hand into the mixer while it was running.
Ben Kissel
No.
Henry Zebrowski
To help push the sticky dough into the container on the bottom.
Ben Kissel
Don't even put a stick in there, man.
Henry Zebrowski
No, I am not a smart woman. She wrote this.
Ben Kissel
She wrote that.
Henry Zebrowski
The whole thing happened in slow motion. I don't know if how I wasn't fast enough to remove my arm in time, but I watched in detached wonder. One of the spikes moved closer and closer to my right arm until it started touching the spot skin. Then it kept going and going. I remember thinking, wow, that's going to be a huge bruise. Only to suddenly realize that, no, this wasn't a bruise. The spike was legitimately impaling my arm. The first thing I did was stop the machine. Then I started screaming. I honestly didn't feel any pain at the time. I was so shocked by what was happening. The problem with the mixer is that none of the parts except the bottom plate was detachable. So it was completely welded unit. I was essentially pinned in this machine and absolutely could not be freed without a sp assistance. Anyway, emergency services were called. They wound up shutting down the whole block while the firefighters stood around looking at me with equal parts amazement and judgment. Because on one hand, this machine is unique. None of them have seen it before. Another. What kind of dumbass sticks their arm in a moving machine? Me, apparently.
Ben Kissel
It's okay.
Henry Zebrowski
It's okay. It's a mistake, you know, what are you gonna do?
Ben Kissel
Don't beat yourself up.
Henry Zebrowski
They wound up breaking out what I think was a circular saw to cut me out of the machine while I begged them not to because I didn't want to be fucking fired. I did not get fired. Good on your boss.
Ben Kissel
I don't know if that's good. I think the boss had a case to let her go. I think the boss might have had put.
Henry Zebrowski
Might have had his hands held against, certain he might even be difficult. They wound up breaking out what I think was a circular saw. Right. The whole operation took 45 minutes. I wound up having a wound so deep they couldn't stitch it shut. I had to pack the wound twice a day with wet gauze and then bandage the whole arm until it healed.
Ben Kissel
That is gross. When you have to stick the gauze into the wound, really understand how much.
Henry Zebrowski
We are just meat.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
You know, good news. I am more or less completely unscathed. My arm is fine except for a sweet scar. I have no permanent damage. I got so lucky the day before my accident. A man in the international district of my city lost his arm in a similar incident at a fortune cookie factory. No, no. I wish I was making this up. I got a free coffee out of the situation, approximately $30 in missed wages, plus a blurb in the local paper. My boss got a hefty fine from osha and I was never allowed to make noodles again. That is crazy, dude.
Ben Kissel
Oh, man.
Henry Zebrowski
That is crazy, man. That is very, very scary. There's so many. We. Honestly, I got three more. I can't even do it. I can't even go to the rest of them.
Ben Kissel
I got three more of them, by the way. I know. I just dropped the email. We're not doing ripped apart by machines at the end of every episode. So send us an email about something.
Henry Zebrowski

Ben Kissel
Yeah. You know, I knew. Do you remember my buddy? I know we're trying to end the show, but I remember my buddy, like Cross Eyed Jim, who I used to work with.
Henry Zebrowski
Wasn't he? I thought we called him Crazy John.
Ben Kissel
No, he's Cross Eyed Jim. Cross. Because he had cross. Very cross eyed.
Henry Zebrowski
I remember. He's the one who had the ax buried in the center of his head.
Ben Kissel
Yes, yes. He worked on a crab fisherman's boat back in the day out in Alaska because he, like, wanted to forget about life.
Henry Zebrowski
I remember.
Ben Kissel
And then he was telling me a story how one day he wasn't paying attention and he totally, like, eliminated some dude's hand.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, he.
Ben Kissel
And then they had to, like, go back to fudgeing land and he got fired.
Henry Zebrowski
I'll always remember. I guess it was cross eyed Jim. I. I think I remembered him as crazy Jim, but Cross eyed Jim, I remember him telling me the story about how he's like. One time I was driving a whole truckload of bees and I was doing it for a summer job and I was driving a big old truckload of bees, but I was on about four hits of acid and you can't even imagine the sound that thousands and thousands of bees make on four hits of acid. And I was like, thanks, buddy. Where's my cheese stick?
Ben Kissel
I loved bringing him around. It was my favorite. He was so much fun to hang out.
Henry Zebrowski
He also was like, he.
Ben Kissel
I remember, I would love to find him.

We got to figure out where he is because he also used to, like, have that weird relationship with Marcus because he was all into the same, like, noise stuff. So he would like make weird.
Ben Kissel
Used to make me listen to all.
Henry Zebrowski
That weird noise rock because his brain was destroyed by a literally being cleft by an accent of years of acid.
Ben Kissel

In this characteristically irreverent and freewheeling episode, hosts Henry Zebrowski and Ben Kissel tackle the macabre tradition of the "Death Pool": predicting which celebrities or public figures are likely to die within the year. They set their own humorous, charitable twist on the format, discuss how they’ll handle donations, and riff on recent news stories, viral videos, AI anxiety, police animal shootings, and harrowing kitchen injuries. True to LPOTL’s form, the episode blends dark humor with pop culture commentary and raw, unsparing talk about death, grief, and the American tendency to avoid the subject.
"Just know for a fact that ICE is currently running around attacking children at a baseball field. You know, stuff like where it's really where the criminals are." (Henry, 06:25)
"Kyle Braun stabbed his mother hard. Right. Stabbed her up and down...and left the knife inside of her skull." (Henry, 24:02)
"On average, cops kill...25 to 30 dogs a day...an average of 10,000 a year." (Ben, 30:40)
Ben Kissel’s List:
“Because he is actively dying in prison.” (Ben, 37:53)
“I think he’s gonna boldly go.” (Ben, 40:05)
“...I think we’re going to lose, unfortunately...David Attenborough.” (Ben, 45:42)
“Only because he grabbed my dick one time personally, and I actually just don’t like it.” (Ben, 54:41)
Henry Zebrowski’s List:
“That’s my lock for this year is Buzzer, because I think…” (Henry, 38:59)
"Apparently his dementia is very...it is accelerating." (Henry, 41:37)
“He looks like absolute...Noam Chomsky...I think Noam Chomsky’s a lock.” (Henry, 48:05)
“...if he dies, it shows that God doesn’t help anybody. If he dies early, it proves that God doesn’t exist.” (Henry, 58:11)
“I think that part of the reason why I even wanted to do it is because...in America we don't like talking about [death]...I think it's okay to laugh a little bit about all the fucked up shit because we have to.” (Henry, 59:03)
“Machines do not care if there is squishy human bits in the way...if it is strong enough to overcome the friction of human bones and sinew being in the way, it will.” (Henry, 64:01)
On Death Pools:
On Death in America:
On Cops and Animals:
On Political System & Protest:
The tone is classic "Last Podcast on the Left": irreverent, darkly comedic, boundary-pushing, and intensely self-aware. The hosts riff and crosstalk—switching between satire, gallows humor, and genuine reflection about mortality, protest, and American society.
"Side Stories: Death Pool 2026" showcases LPOTL’s signature blend of black comedy and biting social commentary. Henry and Ben roast everything from ICE to aging celebrities, face the American death taboo head-on with their darkly charitable “Death Pool,” and read listener horror stories from the workplace. For fans and newcomers alike, the episode is a dense, gleeful wade through the morbid and ridiculous realities of life, death, and everything in between.
