That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes. Also got some people wrote a very emotional letter about Scott. Yes. A lot of people saying. A lot of people have comparing, interestingly, comparing Scott to funk, saying that they're both music that incorporates rock music and, you know, foreign instruments. That's where they're wrong because SCA is bad.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's a very interesting Ying and Yang thing going on there, but I don't think so. I think it's yin and then the music that sucks. I think that's the yin good music. And I think that the yang is music that sucks.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's like grabbing Winnie the Pooh by his. By his penis and swinging him around and stuff like that. It's by. It's like going up to Joe Biden.

[Ed Larson]

Hard to get Winnie the Pooh's penis.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's hard. You got to get through the hair. It's like going up To Joe Biden while he's on set with Reacher. Because he went to go visit set on Jack Reacher today for some reason.

[Ed Larson]

And he got lost.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He did. He actually got lost trying to just tell him how that's not Jack Reacher, that's an actor. Because he's still going like. Let me be clear, Jack. You're a big guy. Oh, big guy. You want to handle my wife. Hey there. I just want to see Mr. Reacher again. I call you Mr. Richer. I just want to say it's me, Joe. Me, Joe. Old Joe Biden.

Yeah, but ye. I don't think that. I mean, Joe Biden is just. He's hanging out on set.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, well, no, he was in a restaurant and the. And they were shooting next to the restaurant, and then he kind of stumbled outside.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, let me go and see.

But I'm saying, like, you know, like, once you become the Pope, are you still an American? Yeah, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They always do a thing where it was like John Paul would have to go down to Polishka or whatever he'd be and go like. And then the other guy would go kiss the road to Auschwitz. He. The, the older he'd go to Auschwitz and go like, thank everybody. I love. I'm the. Love this place. I miss this place. I used to summer here. And then the newest Pope, small footed Pope, He. He also, I believe, would talk a lot about empanadas. Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So that was like what he covered. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

What is this? What are you showing me? Oh, the United States.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, it's from you and Peru.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, he's from Peru.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And then now he's a Vatican City resident as well.

[Ed Larson]

Good for her.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He, Robert Francis Provost probably gets. I think if they get. They get rates at the Vatican Disney?

[Ed Larson]

Oh, he's six.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, he gets like the local rate, which is actually pretty great. That Vatican. Have you been to Disney Vatican? Have you heard about that place?

[Ed Larson]

No, I haven't. I would love to go to Disney Vatican.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'm going to put it this way. The shrieks don't come from the ruts from your grave.

[Ed Larson]

[Ed Larson]

What are we covering?

[Henry Zabrowski]

We have a lot of. We got a lot of stuff, Eddie.

[Ed Larson]

We do have a lot of stuff. There's one big story I feel like we got to talk about, even though I don't want to.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'm going to talk about it because it's, it's up. So now Vance Belter, this was the, I'm gonna say the Chad Daybell esque bodied man that killed Minnesota House of Representatives Melissa Hortman and her husband, I believe, shot Melissa Hortman. Shot her husband, I believe her husband is alive.

[Ed Larson]

No, they, they, he, both of them died. And he, he also wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

And so he wounded a senator as well.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Vance Belter should have changed his suspenderer because he's shaped like an egg that is out of shape.

[Ed Larson]

He, he really, he was trying to kill a Lot more people too.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, he was failure at that. So he had a bit of a scrawled manifesto. We now know that Vance Belter went to these various homes of these political representatives. He went to one house of another Democratic leader and they were not home. And so then he went to the Hoffman house and then he went to another house where a police SUV saw him there. He ran away and then he finally went to the final senator's home that he shot and he went off. He was dressed like a police officer. He had a silicon mask, much like the town. You remember the movie the Town? Yes.

[Ed Larson]

It's very scary looking.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's scary. He walked in, he knocked on the door, he opened it up, he shined the flashlight in their eyes. He claimed to be the police. They knew he wasn't the police immediately and he opened fire. Now we know that in the very, very beginnings they were trying to spin it like he was some kind of Marxist. They were trying to talk about how Representative Hoffman did some vote stripping the health care from undocumented in citizens. And he's basically saying, oh, they at first were trying to say, oh, he's a Marxist guy. That because he's so left that he wanted to kill these people. Utterly incorrect. He's a full Trumper. He's. He wrote a little manifesto with a list of his other targets.

[Ed Larson]

Did you read the manifesto? I know you love manifesto.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I do. And it was so hard, you couldn't get it. It was also not. It was more of a to do list and it was the things that he wanted to go and several other people that he want to murder. One including Governor Tim Waltz. And they are. He did it fairly. It's, you know, it's, it's up, it's easy to do. But he's also a total piece of that was obsessed with being a police officer. He outfitted his car to look like a police car. He had lights on it. And this was all before this. He had been doing this up to this point. If you ask his. I'm going to say the status.

[Ed Larson]

Not hard to become a cop.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Actually Eddie, it's, it's not hard, but it's not easy either. Like it, it just keeps the lip just enough that somebody like this piece of shit can't be a cop. Yeah, but it's also a lot of other pieces of shit that are pieces of shit for other reasons also then get to become cops.

[Ed Larson]

If your roommate works at Papa John's, you shouldn't be a cop.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, one of the things, I mean the idea. I think one of the biggest crushing things of this whole thing is everyone's saying, where's his manifesto? Where's his manifesto? I saw his manifesto. It was his 57 year old roommate. That is enough. If you're 60 and you have roommates and a wife. Also. Vance Belcher had a wife.

[Ed Larson]

Did he? And a wife.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They were all living together in the most delicious little home you could possibly imagine. It looked like the candy home that the witch lived in that attracted those kids to it. I'm wrong. It is. It's a hovel. They live in a little hovel and they live. We had this jaunty cowboy cap on. Remember when they saw him with the cowboy hat? But he was running back and forth. But his roommate.

[Ed Larson]

You're hiding from the police. It's always good to put on a cowboy hat. A big hat.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Big, big hat. Then that way they're not looking at me, they're looking at the hat. It's like, no, no. You look like an idiot, sir. And his. We all got to work. This isn't about the job. Okay? But when you got live news in front of your. Your home and you're the room mate of a brand new political assassin, I'm just gonna say don't throw your papa's shirt on. Yeah, I know you work at Papa's and you're proud of Papa J's and you like working for Papa John's obviously, because you are probably mostly garlic sauce. I imagine the most of his blood is garlic sauce. His hair looked like he was using it to style it. That's for fucking certain. He is pepperoni grease. If it was a human being.

[Ed Larson]

I think this man has many shirt options.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I. I'm just saying if you're got a work shirt, keep it the work shirt. We all are like this. We all got our work shirts. We got our home shirts. He needs a different shirt. The wicking isn't working. He's soaked. He looks like he was dipped in marinara sauce. This guy is disgusting. And I'm ragging on him because it's another example of both him and, and the other one. Both of the dumpers.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Were what they called military enthusiasts. Now they look like beanbag chairs. Yes, but they are. They called themselves military enthusiasts. So these are. These are the guys that like to cosplay. They went and bought a bunch of assault rifles. They bought all the gear. When he saw Vance Belter, he was covered in gear. He had all the gear.

[Ed Larson]

When the fires came, you got, you bought a bunch of gear. I mean, is that really a bad thing?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I like gear. No, no, I like it. But it's this time. It's this. It's calling yourself a military enthusiast when the most you could be is a human shield. Like, the most. That man. The mo. The. Probably the best way that guy could serve our country is if we threw him in front of a bunch of people that were gonna get killed instead. And so this guy is a. A. These are. They are both the staunchly anti abortion, even though this man probably hasn't seen a vagina and since he was born. And the other one was a. The. His wife. Very, very, very, very anti abortion. They've talked on all these various gun boards. They were weirdly politically connected, which led some other people tossing shade around. He did all this stuff. But still, in the end, these guys went after unarmed people in their homes.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That is not what the military does.

[Ed Larson]

Debatable.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Hey.

[Ed Larson]

Debate.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know what I mean? But, you know, like, the idea of, like, if you're a military enthusiast, I just think that's the silliest thing. I saw this kid in the gym the other day. Yeah, same thing. Like the only. Like, he looked like a Muppet baby version of the villain from Despicable Me. He was a little round little head, like a little cherry tomato. Little fat body. Right. Little gross little boy at the gym. And he had a shirt on that had an assault rifle on it says, come take it underneath it. And there's a little party that's like, I'd love to. You know, like, I would love to come knock you over, Hoover. You need to be bullied. You need to be bullied.

[Ed Larson]

Well, maybe he's there because he was bullied.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He needs to get bullied harder. Bully him harder. These people need to be bullied to death. This is like that roommate, he. I guess he says he didn't know what was going on, but he was also saying that Vance Belter has been. He went kind of under the radar for a while. He was very, very staunchly anti abortion. Hates women.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'm just gonna go on a limb that he hates women and that this guy, he kind of like, they used to talk like this together as boys because the roommate and Vance have been best friends and living together against, like, fourth grade. Fourth grade or something. And they. He just seems that he went underground with his beliefs for a little bit and then unleashed this plan on a bunch of people.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Because he texted the roommate that he was going to do it. He didn't actually tell them in advance, really?

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, he told that he was a. Dad's gone to war today.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's what he said to his family. Yeah. Dad's gone to war today, and he was a preacher. Oh. I mean, that's. It all checks out. It's all just one of those things. Where is it a war if they're unarmed in their home? It seems that you're going to somebody's house to kill them is not going to the war.

[Ed Larson]

He also killed the dog.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I know. That's the saddest one of all. And they keep showing all the pictures of the golden retriever.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, it was a cute dog.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean. Yeah. I mean, you got to be a.

[Ed Larson]

Real bastard to shoot a golden retriever.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Think about that now.

[Ed Larson]

Like a dober or something. Like, I. I love all dogs, but, like, a golden retriever, that's a hard one to look in the eyes and shoot.

[Henry Zabrowski]

This is the type of man that would do this.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know what I mean? He was really very, very excited.

[Ed Larson]

It was supposed to be a service dog, but they liked him so much that they kept him a.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's very cute.

[Ed Larson]

I know.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean, it's a golden retriever.

[Ed Larson]

They should have made him a service dog. You're still being long.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Honestly. Teach the dog how to use a gun.

[Ed Larson]

Not anymore.

[Henry Zabrowski]

The only thing that say stops a bad man with a go. A gun is a good dog with a gun.

[Ed Larson]

Amen to that.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Does he get charged for killing the dog as well? Is that, like, added on? I'm certain it all gets in there.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Why not?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, I feel like there should be justice. No, there's a little bit.

[Ed Larson]

You'll get an extra month for the dog.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They throw something on top there. But normally, yeah, they get something.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, my God. I can't believe he killed the dog.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, he just was. But, you know, he's a basket.

[Ed Larson]

That's just real. That's like, how mean are you? You.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And then also just.

[Ed Larson]

Even the clan likes dogs. Hey, you know, like, it's just like. I mean, what's he doing?

[Henry Zabrowski]

The white ones? You know, he also. He reminds me a lot of John Wilkes Booth and the fact that he was also, again, found in a bush. Yeah, these guys all just jump into a bush.

[Ed Larson]

And our devil in the Ozarks, man.

[Henry Zabrowski]

All these guys, he's.

[Ed Larson]

They look a lot alike.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Very similar in builds. Yeah, very, very similar.

[Ed Larson]

Lots of tits going on there between those guys.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Dude, he's got tits like a mother wolf. Wolf. He has like full on side teats, man. It's nice to see in a way, you know, again, it shows that the best warriors are about a hundred pounds overweight and shoot you from a foot from your face.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It seems that our most proudest warriors are the ones that do that. You know, even the child that tried to shoot the President did it from afar with a sniper rifle.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. Well, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, man. We all know that Trump's ear is miraculously healed.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, yes. Because God chose.

[Ed Larson]

God chose his ear and he saved his ear.

[Henry Zabrowski]

God chose him.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. We all know that. That's what happens. Ask Evander Holyfield.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, we know. His ear pop right back and then he just keeps biting it back off. He's just like, ah, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

When's that could have finally come out?

[Henry Zabrowski]

What?

[Ed Larson]

That Trump wasn't shot.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, it's, it's, that's over. That's a very long over.

[Ed Larson]

But like, why, like that would be a scandal, right? No, if.

[Henry Zabrowski]

What scandal? With what it. Within.

[Ed Larson]

What within? Within there.

[Henry Zabrowski]

How could that be bigger than any other scandal?

[Ed Larson]

Stolen valor.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's nothing but scandals, Eddie. Yeah, it doesn't really matter. So that's what they. They've done that very expertly. It's nothing but scandals, so it doesn't matter.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, well, I'm glad they're finally recounting the votes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Wow, that's really going to get to the bottom of it, y' all Definitely how we should be spending our time and our money, that is for certain.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, let's just wait half a year before we start thinking about that and.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Then we can tr. We could trot out Elizabeth Warren and she'll these men are bad. And then she'll go back to her fucking mansion. All these fucking idiots. All these useless morons. Now let's get into. Let's get into some other fucking stories. Peeing in the shower is bad for you. That's horseshit.

[Ed Larson]

Well, says the New York Post.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, they'll say anything.

[Ed Larson]

All right, so the title is most people are guilty of doing this in the shower, but experts warn it's incredibly dangerous.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's not incredibly dangerous. They're saying with ladies, if you pee in the shower, it might make your too loose. Yes, it might pee pee. Your pee pee door might get too swingy.

[Ed Larson]

It could hot take. But don't pee standing up in the shower or anywhere for that matter. Ladies, you are training your bladder that it's okay to empty while standing. Don't do it. This could cause bladder leakage.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I just don't know how to pee a little.

[Ed Larson]

It's okay.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Just pee a little bit.

[Ed Larson]

It's fine.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I thought peeing and then maybe stopping it very quickly might help your pee pee muscles. Side stories. LPOTL gmail.com. how do you strengthen your pee pee muscles?

[Ed Larson]

If we all smelled a little like peepee pee, then it would be more acceptable.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't like pee pee. You don't want to smell like pee pee now.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, come on. Why not?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Because I don't like the smell of urine.

[Ed Larson]

Do you leak at all? Sometimes. Sometimes?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, of course. It goes in my pants.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's what they're for.

[Ed Larson]

I get a little dot on my, on my underwear. That's what the underwear wake up in the middle of the night.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's what underwear is for.

[Ed Larson]

You know what I get so mad about when I pee and like in the middle of the night and there's a little bit on my underwear. I. I feel I can't put the pillow back in between my legs until it dries.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Just be a husband and do it, buddy.

[Ed Larson]

No, I got, I gotta wait.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean it's your picture pillow.

[Ed Larson]

I don't want to get pink.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Ey, it's your pillow.

[Ed Larson]

I know it's my pillow.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Have the. I have my below waist pillow.

[Ed Larson]

You have a pee pee pillow?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, I have a possible piss come pillow.

[Ed Larson]

Really?

[Henry Zabrowski]

You never know what's going to come out of me. Wow.

[Ed Larson]

I do have enough. You come on the bed to designate. Well, I don't come on my pillows.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Not necessarily.

[Ed Larson]

Not unless I try. Weird. Weird. I think it's weird. Yeah. So the New York Post says that if you pee standing up it kind of with your bladder and, and then they even said it could be bad for men.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Why does everything have to have rules? Why is everything with rules? I could see why people want there to be no rules. I'm so sick of these stupid rules.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, they say it's for one, not very hygienic. But more importantly than that, it will destroy your pelvic floor. Yes. And it might also create mental associations where you hear water running and all of a sudden you need to run to the bathroom.

[Henry Zabrowski]

What are we? Are we all dogs?

[Ed Larson]

You know what's weird though? I do find that like sometimes times I'll really have to pee and then it's only because I'm thinking about it, you know, and then it'll just. If I can, if I could train my mind, then it goes away.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Then you can pee, then just pee.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, well, I mean, you know, sometimes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You'Re busy, but nothing matters. Just stop what you're doing and go pee.

[Ed Larson]

Well, not if you're at the movies. I always can't stop the movie.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I get up and I go pee.

[Ed Larson]

It's hard.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I do. I know.

[Ed Larson]

I just saw Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade for Father's Day. That's how I celebrated.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, wow.

[Ed Larson]

And I had three peas during the movie, and I felt bad each time, but I. At least it was good about seeing an old movie that you've seen a million times. I knew exactly when to go pee.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Exactly.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, that was nice. And I got to choose. Yes. But they say standing while urinating also puts men at risk for benign prostatic hyperlapsia, which occurs when the prostate gland and surrounding tissue expand, obstructing the urethra. Sadly, for many men, the thought of sitting while peeing is looked down upon. In Germany, many those who stand to relieve themselves are called sit sprinklers.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, I. I am a. I am a sit sprinkler. See, I'm. I am. I've talked about this. No, no, I talked about this. I am a proud sit sprinkler. Yeah, I am proud of it.

[Ed Larson]

I pee while sitting, but not by choice. I'm already sitting. I'll let it go, but I.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Not. I have y' all.

[Ed Larson]

Are you trying to read, or what's the deal?

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, I'm just trying to sit now.

[Ed Larson]

What about the middle of the night whenever I.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Sometimes I sit sometime. Most of the time, I'll stand because it's easier to get to the water while I'm standing. But, yeah, dude, I sit now, dude.

[Ed Larson]

All the time.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Almost 95% of the time.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Not when you're out in public.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No.

[Ed Larson]

Public urinal.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, Yeah. I have to do.

[Henry Zabrowski]

When I'm home, I sit.

[Ed Larson]

Really?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, buddy. Do you at. Here at work. I said, do you read or do you just.

[Ed Larson]

Do you get lost in your thoughts or you just pee and go?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I pee and go. Really?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. And you sit and you just get out. Because I imagine if I sat to pee, I would sit there for an extra five minutes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I do sometimes, but also, I'm trying to not get piles anymore.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, piles.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't want my butthole to get worse anymore by being on the toilet for too long.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah. Well, that's the other problem.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But I'm just saying that's why I'm not saying something that they're. The whole time. You got to sit down and pee, man.

[Ed Larson]

That's crazy.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Sit down and pee. Guys, Jason Biggs. He's not even. Whatever. He's not even a. Yeah, I know. Lionel Messi. He's the guy. Lionel Messi. That's who you look up to as a sit sprinkler. Not a sprinkler is one of those guys. That's what you do. I'm going to sit sprinkle. I'm going to do it because I'm a. I'm even more of a man than a man who stands.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Because guess who sits? Kings.

[Ed Larson]

King Sit. Well, it's a throne. I guess that makes sense. Yeah. See? Yeah. But one thing I heard about Lionel is he makes a messy of his pants.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He is driving very fast. Very, very scared. Now, speaking of, I want to talk about this. This story horrific. None of us like hearing about plane crashes because we have to do them planes so much.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But this story is just. I mean, there's not much to it. It's just insane.

[Ed Larson]

The India crash last Thursday.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah. Air India a plane crashed. I want to say it was something like more than 200 bodies have already been pulled from it. Everybody died on this massive plane in this massive plane crash. Except for one dude, okay. His name is Vishwashkumar Ramesh. He told Indian state media, DD News that he said, I managed to unbuckle myself, use my leg to push through that opening. And I crawled. Called out. Essentially they said they went up, the plane went up. It started like the lights started flickering on the plane. Then they said it felt like it stopped in the air and then it slammed into a fucking building. And he said his. When they slammed, the whole thing exploded except his section fell from the top of the building and landed. And the way he put it was that he was sitting there blinking his eye. He was. He was like. He was. He thought he was dead.

[Ed Larson]

He looks fine. He's got like a scratch on his face.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He has almost no injuries. Everybody else is dead.

[Ed Larson]

11A. Yeah, that was a seat. That was his seat. Just so you know, that's a good seat.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And so he like the way he put it, I can totally imagine how surreal that must be. Right? Like you fall from the sky and you're sitting there and you're just alive. And he's like feeling his body like, what the is wrong with me? And then he just gets up and he walks out of the plane crash. And so he got. They checked him for injuries. He seems to be fine. Wear your seat belt every once in a while. It seems to really work.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah. But he was also sitting right next to the emergency exit. So maybe that was something that helped him out.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Maybe. Or maybe he just wanted it more than the rest of them. You ever think about that? Maybe he just wanted to live more than everybody else on that plane.

[Ed Larson]

That's a good point. Maybe we should be giving this man the unbreakable test.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I would love to see now. Now let's try to to stab him.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Someone call M. Night Shyamalan. We should find out what's happening. Shoot. Let's shoot him.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Let's shoot him in the head.

[Ed Larson]

If we shoot him in the head and he lives, then what?

[Henry Zabrowski]

He's king. Pope guys is invincible. What is the guy who's invincible? What do we give him? I feel like you don't want to give him to roll.

[Ed Larson]

He's already got everything. He's invincible.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, but that also means you're going to have to figure out how to work for the rest of your life.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. It doesn't make him super strong.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No. Nothing. It just makes you live. Live forever.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So if he's invincible, he might have to die naturally.

[Ed Larson]

Send him to antarctica.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Side Stories LPOTL gmail.com Speaking of these invincible people. Yeah. What do you do with an invincible man? I would do want to talk about Antarctica, actually.

[Ed Larson]

Why do you want to talk about Antarctica?

[Henry Zabrowski]

That is the most. I mean. I mean this is the. It's just wild to me. That just got to be the craziest turnaround and you could ever do. Like you could just live.

[Ed Larson]

You could just live. What? From the plane?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Have you ever seen that story with the Errol Morris US documentary series? With the chick that fell out of the plane in her chair? No, a plane exploded midair and she fell out of the plane in her chair and then crashed in a tree and lived.

[Ed Larson]

Wow.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's great. Another crazy story. That's just one of those that I. I have reoccurring nightmares of fly a plane around me exploding and me flying through the air. It's called Wings of Hope.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, wow. Well, I'm gonna start taking different flights of you because I don't have any.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, yes. Werner Herzog, not Errol Morris.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, okay.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It was ver her. It's great. Great. It's a little short. Have you ever. You know you got to watch it.

[Ed Larson]

You would love this. See this? Wow. This happened. It was a 98 made for TV documentary. Okay.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes. She said that people were. It was wild the way she described how when she landed, she caught her. Like she took herself off the chair. And she just saw people just their feet sticking out of the ground.

[Ed Larson]

Oh yeah, man.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Cuz they just lounge in chair first they landed for. They just buried themselves in the ground, man.

[Ed Larson]

I remember. Do you remember that plane crash in Jersey? I want to say it was like 99 or 2000. My buddies had just moved there and they. The plane crashed in their. In their, in their yard and it were like it because it was kind of scattered and they had like people in their seats like in their backyard and. But they didn't crash through the house or anything. So. That's nice.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's nice. Thanks.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. Yeah. So, you know, are you scared of planes still or you don't mind? You get a little stressed out?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I am actively in therapy. Therapy that I do work on it.

[Ed Larson]

It's so weird because I don't. I feel safer like in a plane than a car.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Once I'm up, I'm fine. It really goes like. I've dealt through it. It's just weird. It's one of those things that's kind of come up and gone away for me.

[Ed Larson]

It's just so out of your control. It can't even upset me.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I know, but then it's like. Then it's so out of my control. It does upset me because I do wish I can go there and just wrestle the controls from that pilot.

[Ed Larson]

You'd have no idea what to do if you won the fight.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Exactly. And that's what scares me.

[Ed Larson]

Stronger pilots. That's what we're looking for. Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Oh man. Well yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So what do you mean Articula. Let me talk about this. I'll talk about this.

[Ed Larson]

What happened in Antarctica?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well this is again not a heck of a lot to it but is. Is I'm going to say concerning. All right, so we have part of what we do is the. An Anarctica is obviously a very mysterious place and we have fought over it for a very very long time. Right. Like we, we fight over it. Russia fought over it. We got like it's supposed to be this international zone and now that the temperatures are rising more and more weird is coming out of Antarctica. We've they're talking about they saw these weird creatures. I don't know if you saw this thing where it was like they, they found this sort of like essentially a new type of like fish creature that's just swimming around in the ice. Like you know they. We're talking about maybe getting release viruses getting released from the inside of the ice. All this type of. Yeah they call them feather stars. These thing that they found these really gross little creatures. Right. But this is one of those where.

[Ed Larson]

Those things are awesome.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, it's all awesome. Yeah. They named after a strawberry. Oh he named it after Strawberry 20 Arms. Yeah, it's really gross.

[Ed Larson]

It's really very frightening looking.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't like it. It looks like a face hugger. Yes. It was found in Antarctica but now it's things in Antarctica just got a little bit more mysterious.

[Ed Larson]

What happened now?

[Henry Zabrowski]

So they have this thing. They. They detect pulsars coming from space using a thing called the Antarctic impulsive transient antenna. And these. It's a balloon. It's got antennas on it. So we do to sort of like we listen for space. The signals from cosmic space. Right. That's the idea. We're listening for signals from space where we're catching whenever comes in. But the way they. They used to it I found interesting is that the signal comes from space and it bounces off the ice and up and that's how they hear it.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They're getting this new set of sounds they are saying is coming directly. Directly from underneath the ice.

[Ed Larson]

It's probably a whale.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's not good. They're saying that nothing should be able to make a signal that could travel through that amount of ice up to it. That they don't know why they feel like maybe that things have significantly changed. We don't know. They said the signals seem to pass through thousands of kilometer of rock.

[Ed Larson]

Whoa.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They don't know what they are for. They're calling it a fascinating mystery.

[Ed Larson]

It's probably an earthquake.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Don't know. They could know. It's continuous.

[Ed Larson]

Okay.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's in a repeated fashion. They said that something could have come from neutrinos, which are particles that make up. I believe I might be wrong here, but I believe neutrinos are essentially the things that make up atoms right there. Very base of reality.

[Ed Larson]

This is way past my knowledge.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Neutrinos, you know, they're. They. They're just around us. Right. They give us mass. Detecting them is very hard. So sometimes they say that when one of them does hit something, sometimes inside of like they hit a signal or recording signal, neutrinos will make sounds, apparently. I don't know what the hell this means.

[Ed Larson]

Could be a bloop.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Could be a poop.

[Ed Larson]

Bloop. Remember the bloop?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Poop.

[Ed Larson]

I know, I know. I understand.

[Henry Zabrowski]

My ass.

[Ed Larson]

I understand you. I'm talking about the bloop. Do you remember the bloop? Bloop.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Doesn't bloop. Doesn't live in that neighborhood.

[Ed Larson]

What about Kraken?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, like the Kraken.

[Ed Larson]

The cracking.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I think he's booked. He's working with Liam Newson. He's out there. Yeah, the cracking. I mean, we do have giant octopi, but they don't live under the ice. They live in the deep, deep water.

[Ed Larson]

Interesting.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So they're not under the ice.

[Ed Larson]

Ice. Now, is the under ice melting as well? Do you think something could be cutting loose from down there?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't know if the FUPA ice is melting. I think that they call the FUPA layer.

[Ed Larson]

I know I've heard that before.

[Henry Zabrowski]

The fat upper Arctic area. And they. That it's very difficult for the. For anything to go in and out of that.

[Ed Larson]

All right.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's very thick. Oh, no. That's what that FUPA stands for.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, oh, great. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. Rob just looked up FUPA and he gave us a lot of examples.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. Yeah. It's Very popular. People love that shit.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, they really do. But yeah, they. That's really all there is to this. It's weird.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Bad maybe.

[Ed Larson]

It's hard. Antarctica. I feel like sometimes we get news. News stories from there and then it's just so far away. Nothing ever gets followed up like whatever happened. Those scientists, are they dead? Are they happy?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Do you remember we could. Do you remember we found out we couldn't hear from them for some six months?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's been about. It's been like what, like four months now or something?

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, no.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. It's. That happened in like March or April, something like that.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

I don't know what's going on with these guys. The scientists in trouble. Antarctica, South African. Whatever happened to them?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, this was in March. You're right.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. So, yeah, these guys. I mean, we don't know what happened to them. I mean, they're probably fine. They probably just talked it out.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, sure. Definitely.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Let's all talk about this though thing now. They said they really can't for 10 more months. They're still trapped there. They're trapped for 10 months. There's nothing they can do.

[Ed Larson]

So we don't even know.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Nope.

[Ed Larson]

That's pretty cool. That's gonna be fun to find out.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I want to find out the whole ending. Yeah, I'd love to find out the end of the story.

[Ed Larson]

I wonder if these are related.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That would be awesome.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, they're scientists. They should know about this noise.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, that would be cool. I hope that's true.

[Ed Larson]

I wonder if this is them just shooting guns into the ice.

[Henry Zabrowski]

See, that's fun. I would do that. Let's blow it up. That's what I say. Get a couple grenades, throw it in there. I want to blow up some of these. What do they call them? Sea fairies? Whatever they call them. Those weir horrible creatures like sucking and on each other.

[Ed Larson]

What are the. The 20 arm thing. Yeah, the feather.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh yeah, the feather. The feather eels or feather stars.

[Ed Larson]

You love them.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean they're. They creep me out. They really do. They give me like a. Give me weird free. I feel weird.

[Ed Larson]

Would you go to Antarctica?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I'd love to go. Yeah. I'd rather go to the North Pole.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, I'd like do both.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. South.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'd love to go to Antarctica.

[Ed Larson]

I don't know why. I got no. No attraction to the South Pole.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'll go anywhere at this point but space.

[Ed Larson]

You don't want to go to space.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, not. Not with the guys that are currently running it. No.

[Ed Larson]

You would go. Would you go with NASA? No. If. Would you ever consider making up with NASA?

[Henry Zabrowski]

No.

[Ed Larson]

No. They're dead to you.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Them.

[Ed Larson]

Wow. So none of the space people you're into at all?

[Henry Zabrowski]

No.

[Ed Larson]

What about, like, Japan?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'd love to defect to Japan.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean, I'm. I'm trying to defect the China every. Every week.

[Ed Larson]

Well, I wanted to tell you I found this one art. This thing right before we came in here, and it's from, you know, full disclosure, it's from Daily Mail, so.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, who knows?

[Ed Larson]

We don't know if this is true or not, but the story's two side story e to. To not mention. So I just want to bring it up. Nudist resort residents. Hot dog taunt on neighbor ended in double murder. That's right.

[Henry Zabrowski]

A hot dog based taunt.

[Ed Larson]

Yes, that's right. An elderly couple were killed and mutilated by their neighbor after being humiliated with a taunt about a hot dog. That's right. Michael Royce Spark, 62, is facing murder charges over the deaths of Stephanie and Daniel Menard, who were brutally killed at their nudist community in Olive Dell Ranch in Redlands, California.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Okay, that's a nice place to have a nudist resort.

[Ed Larson]

Now, he wasn't mad about the nudist stuff.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Whoa. She's. That's the naked lady, huh?

[Ed Larson]

Oh, well, she's got something on there. She's got a smock on. They're having fun. Honestly, Judgment here?

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, there's no judgment at all. I'm glad that. That they got to be as naked as they wanted to be.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. But he lives next door to them, and he. They've had a lot of fights over the tree. Overhanging.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Are they nude during these fights?

[Ed Larson]

I don't know that. There's been a noisy generator that's made. That's made Sparks upset also. But he felt most humiliated after Menard bought him a $1 hot dog. And the reason he was mad is that he felt. Thought that he was worth more hot dog.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So the guy, he's a.

[Ed Larson]

The Menards bought the hot dog? No, he's their neighbor. He's got a house, so they just.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Bought him a hot dog out of the good. The goodness of their heart.

[Ed Larson]

Mr. Sparks felt that the hot dog was a jab at him, making him feel like he was worth only a dollar hot dog. And that's what set him off that day.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'm not worth the dollar hot dog. I'm not some kind of hollow dollar hot dog. I'm not a dollar hot dog. I'm a Hebrew.

[Ed Larson]

Goddamn. Sparks went outside and struck Mr. Bernard in the head until it caved in. Yeah, that's what you get.

[Henry Zabrowski]

How fucking dare you think I'm a $1 hot dog? I know. Goddamn $1 hot dog. Now you're a fucking $1 dead old man.

[Ed Larson]

That's right. And then Michael's wife, Stephanie came outside yelling, no, no, no, You're a dead woman, too. Yes. And he. He beat her until she was dead with a rake, a hoe and a hammer.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They call me the gardener. You come and fucking try to give me a do dog. I refuse. Next time you go to Subway, you.

[Ed Larson]

Get me a sandwich from Jersey Mike's. He allegedly told fellow prisoners that he dismembered Stephanie and mutilated Michael. During a search for the home, the police found the body parts stuck in plastic bags and a Home Depot bucket.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I did it in a funny way where what I did was I carved them up into six and I could show how the buns come in packs of eight.

[Ed Larson]

That's right.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And that drives me crazy.

[Ed Larson]

Huh?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Anything else?

[Ed Larson]

You know.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, garment.

[Ed Larson]

I. What am I supposed to do with.

[Henry Zabrowski]

The two extra buns?

[Ed Larson]

See, I don't understand. Like a pack of hot dogs. Like a nice Hebrew national pack is less than a dollar a hot dog. So this guy. Why does this guy really want.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Why? You look at me. You look at me, your neighbor. You're the man that helps you make up the spirit of this town. What is it called? Sheboygan. Sheboygan. Dick's Resort. Like old hanging Dick's Res. I am the one that makes this nudist colony. Everybody knows I'm the one with the funnest butt hair. And everyone likes to see me naked the most. And you decided.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That my incredible sable gray body hair is. Is worth a dollar. Hot dog. You die. You die. Judge, jury and executioner. Here goes the gavel. Court is adjourned. Everyone dead?

[Ed Larson]

Yes. We have an unfortunate theme today. Because after he killed both of them.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.

[Ed Larson]

He then went inside their house and grabbed their shih tzu and drowned it in their sink. And then brought it out to the hillside and left it there for coyotes to eat.

[Henry Zabrowski]

See, it's a bit. I see that Step too far.

[Ed Larson]

That is a step too far.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Because his name was Cuddles.

[Ed Larson]

Yes, yes. The shih tzu's name was Cuddles. Cuddles is very cute. Give me your Cuddles. It has an Underbite or had an underbite.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Come here, Cuddles.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, God.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Come here, Cuddles. Shut up, Cuddles. Shut the up, Cuddles.

[Ed Larson]

The menards were missing for four days before the case. I'm no one dollar hot dog.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'm no dollar one hot dog. I'll never be whatever again. $1 hot dog. Oh, yeah. You give your neighbor a $1 hot dog and he doesn't. You don't think he systematically kill all of you and your dog? Oh, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

He texted a friend before he was taken in by the cops. Hey, it's me. Committing suicide today. Take care. Bye.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Wow.

[Ed Larson]

So.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And he didn't.

[Ed Larson]

No, he didn't. Actually, they said, wait, what's going on? Where are you? And, uh, he said, chopped up. My neighbors didn't know I had it in me. Snapped.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Use punctuation. If you use punctuation, that's actually put.

[Ed Larson]

A comma after snapped.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Wow.

[Ed Larson]

And then that was the end of it. So I think he was just upset. He then tried, he did try to kill himself with a long rifle, but it misfired or jammed and then the cops were like, all right, get out of here.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Wow.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, we're gonna take you and just, just doesn't. Wow. Yeah. So, yeah, this is a crazy ass story. I, I feel like it's barely in the news. It really seems like such an insane jail to not like make it across every. That's why I'm a little skeptical that it's even true.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean, it sounds sadly reasonable. It sounds like a thing I have heard and people will kill for because everybody seems to be real torqued up. He looks like he would do it. Oh, look at that face.

[Ed Larson]

He definitely looks like a man who kills over a dollar.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, no, no, that's a man. I, I there before the grace of God. I have to look at this man's face and remember, remember, choose your battles. Choose your battles. Sometimes it's just a hot dog. Sometimes, sometimes it's a mortal insult, but in the case that it's immortal insult, take it to the courts. Okay, that's my word of, that's my little word of wisdom. Take it to the courts.

[Ed Larson]

Taking it to the courts.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Taking it to the courts.

[Ed Larson]

Taking it to the courts.

[Henry Zabrowski]

All right, here we go. All right, I think it's time for some listeners.

[Ed Larson]

I think just real quick before we move forward, there are two new Sphere videos that have come out and they look fake.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'm going to save some of that for the stream.

[Ed Larson]

Great.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So we'll go over the different spheres. We got new spheres in town. New spheres, new shapes. It's spheres. They're queer. They're here.

[Ed Larson]

Spirit of your career, just understand that.

[Henry Zabrowski]

The spheres are here, and there ain't nothing we're gonna do about it, so we might as well just let them marry each other. All right? Because we have several new. Yeah, cuz it was the buga sphere. Now you got one in China. We have another one in Colombia.

[Ed Larson]

Colombia. It's close to the. The buga sphere was a lot of spheres. Now we got to get to.

[Henry Zabrowski]

All right, let's go. We got some stuff in here. I like it. We got to get a sound cue.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, send us.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Send us a sound cue for. We need sound cue. Honestly, it's been too long since we've had a good sound. Sound cue. We just did an interview with a guy on radio, our buddy, Victor Wilt. And he was saying he doesn't want to play all the stupid radio noises and radio sounds. And we love them.

[Ed Larson]

We wanted them. Yeah, we wanted them.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yep. Here we go. So, first of all, a lot of penis and plant talk. A lot of penis implant talk. Seems expensive. My friend sent me. I'm not allowed to even remotely hint at this because it's very illegal technically. But they sent me a bit of a thing where I know exactly before markup, a penis implant costs about 19,000.

[Ed Larson]

19,000?

[Henry Zabrowski]

19,000.

[Ed Larson]

That's more than a baby.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's before the hospital takes their markup.

[Ed Larson]

Whoa.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yep.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's definitely more than a baby because it's entirely elective.

[Ed Larson]

That's crazy.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Like, technically, it's entirely elective.

[Ed Larson]

I guess it makes sense.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

How much are fake tits?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Two grand. I think you popping one out? Pop them in and out.

[Ed Larson]

Two grand's not bad.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You can get, like. I believe you can get a discount, too, depending on where you're at or what you want to do for your life or where don't do for a living. I think that if you're a certain age, I believe you get them for free. If you're 18 and you're getting into the dancing from.

[Ed Larson]

They're anywhere from five grand to ten grand for fake tits.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Damn.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, I suggest going for the ten grand.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Go for the bigger ones.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Not the bigger ones or the better ones.

[Ed Larson]

The better doctor.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Ed Larson]

Go to Cena's brother. He'll give you some fake tits.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, go. Go see my old buddy Cena's brother. Come on. He'll pop your tits out and make brand new Ones, he'll take out the old ones, he'll throw them in the trash, he'll pop on some new ones. Never want to love you again so let's go. A lot of people, the reason why they said the border patrol shows up places is because they're specifically very good at tracking humans.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

A lot of times. Yes. And then a lot of times they're brought in because they are specifically trained to track people over wide expanses of desert. So they're very good at finding people.

[Ed Larson]

I got a buddy who's not a buddy, an old friend from. From college. He's. Honestly, he was. Was like, I was. I. He wasn't even a friend. He was just someone I knew in college. And he was the most racist acquaintances. He was the race most racist person in our friend group. And he got into. He got a head injury, and he wanted to be a cop, and it didn't work out, and so now he's border patrol. And then he married a Mexican woman, and she helps him find Mexicans together.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That is fascinating.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That is, like, literally fascinating. I'll never understand. I'll never know. I don't know how people work, man.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

People are the most interesting. Interesting. They never. They never stop being interesting.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

All right, here we go. Oh, one asked it. Remember we asked about the two kids that killed about whether or not they were going to get their diploma because they did it right before graduation. Oh, yeah. I got an answer on that.

[Ed Larson]

Oh.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Public educator of 17 years in both California and Oregon. From my experience, the students will still graduate and receive their diplomas, will not be allowed to walk in graduation. This is assuming their teachers have turned in their final grades already. The only way I don't think they would is if they want to went to a private school, set their own rules, or if they were jailed and able to take their finals and failed classes. Technically, they're innocent until proven guilty.

[Ed Larson]

That's correct.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So the school wouldn't make that call for fear of being sued? Yes. If they were found guilty before graduation, they probably wouldn't graduate from their high school, but they could probably finish up in prison.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Yep. All right, good. I'm glad. I hope they really figure it out.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, I really hope they really hope they figure that one out.

[Ed Larson]

Also one opening in Notre Dame next year. So if you. If you're holding out, maybe hit them back up.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Maybe one of you. It's better for you to be the talking Irish instead of the Fighting Irish. The thinking Irish. All right, I'm gonna tell One Glimmer man story. Because I like all these glimpses.

[Ed Larson]

You love the Glimmer Man.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I like Glimmer Man.

[Ed Larson]

Great.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I was somewhere between the ages of 2 to 5 when the this happened. And it's actually one of my earliest memories. I distinctly remember being awakened and taken out of bed in the middle of the night by being so strange that the memory stuck with me for the rest of my life. The entity had the silhouette of a person, but the figure looked to be made out of TV static. In the static, little orbs of colorful light would slowly blink in and out. This thing took me by the hand and gently but firmly led me through the house. I remember we moved slowly and almost gracefully and I remember crying the entire time because I was absolutely terrified. I had the distinct impression that it was taking me out of our house for whatever reason. It then led me to our living room and sat me down cross legged in the center of the floor. It then slunk away into the dark darkness, leaving me all by myself. I sat there crying for what seemed to be a long time, afraid to move before my father found me and took me back to my room. Obviously, there's weird things about the story. First, it wasn't clearly wasn't a dream because I know exactly how he got to the living room and my parents still remember finding me there to this day. Second, it was strange because it seemed like it was taking me to the front door, which was an absolute bitch to open because the house was like 200 years old and that door required a skeleton key. It was actually so hard to open and close that we always used the side door to avoid the headache. Looking back, the being felt incredibly gentle. It was almost motherly, now that I think of it. I remember how gently and almost lovingly it seemed to sit me down on the floor. I'm not sure if it sat me there because I was crying too loudly and I blew its cover, if it planned on leaving me there from the very beginning, or if there was a period of missing time that I don't remember. And it was dropping me off after taking me out of the house. Like I was angry, anticipating.

[Ed Larson]

Sounds like it was nice and it cared about him.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Who knows? What tops it all off is the fact that my father had an incredibly similar experience when he was a child. My father is what you could probably would probably consider to be an abductee. And he said that the experience that mirrored mine was one of his very first encounters with the visitors. Oh, my dad's side of the family is Filled with abductees going through generations, going back generations, which we all know isn't uncommon for the this sort of thing. I never connected this experience with the other weird experiences I had growing up, and certainly not to the abduction phenomenon until a couple of years ago. And I've had a lot of weird shit. I've had a lot of weird shit happen to me in my life, but this one was definitely one of the strangest.

[Ed Larson]

Is that something you hear, like when people are adopted? If, like someone's dad is abducted, you have more of a chance of being abducted yourself.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It almost, it seems that it's almost always in the, the family.

[Ed Larson]

Okay.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That it comes from a long line. And it's a lot of times, if you believe you've been experiencing this type of thing, it's been going on since you were a kid.

[Ed Larson]

So it's like getting molested.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

By your father, who was probably molested himself.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Interesting.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know, it's just we can always play that game, ghost, alien or molested.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know, we always can because guess what? If the molestance going and the ghosts are going and the aliens are going, we got a show. That's right. You can love the fact that anytime something bad happens, that's another thing for old Ed and Henry to joke about. And we love the. We live for the fact that. Yeah, sure. You know, what we're doing is we're really helping people have a cathartic experience and we're really helping people laugh at the things that are difficult to laugh at. And also it's fun to just be laughing at things that are extremely inappropriate.

[Ed Larson]

Just like couple of dead dogs. Wow. Yeah. Before we get to our piss friend, I, I wanted to say if you're in northern Michigan and you got a Bigfoot photo, you're going to want to go to this marijuana dispensary.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They said that they're going to give out free joints. They're giving out free joints. To the best. The best pictures.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, it's, it's only one pre roll.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's.

[Ed Larson]

Guys, if I got a picture of Bigfoot.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, you're giving me a pound of fucking weed?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, if I had a real.

[Ed Larson]

That's my complaint here.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, no. Would I suggest you do. If you got a picture of Bigfoot, you hold these. I, I, you, you got to attack them. You got to show up.

[Ed Larson]

I got a pound of weed for you.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'll give you, I'll buy you a p. A pound of weed if you got.

[Ed Larson]

[Henry Zabrowski]

[Henry Zabrowski]

[Ed Larson]

[Henry Zabrowski]

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

But, you know, probably you can't come backstage.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, no, but I want that picture. And that picture better be good.

[Ed Larson]

It better be a damn fine picture.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And I also want that picture to be. We need to get an analysis guy in here.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, no, we're definitely screening this photo and having it and having taken it in if we believe the photo in the first place.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean, this. I. I am not joking.

[Ed Larson]

I'm serious.

[Henry Zabrowski]

This is the. This is a prize. It's gonna pay for itself.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah. Bring photo. It's so unique. Cannabis can go.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, unique cannabis, man. I mean, it's a great idea. Proof of Bigfoot for a pre roll.

[Ed Larson]

Also, they put Bigfoot as two words.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, it's pretty angry.

[Ed Larson]

Bigfoot's one word, although.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Welch. Yeah, they're gonna welch.

[Ed Larson]

I was gonna like these guys, but now that I've thought about this for two seconds.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Hey, literally before this, we were talking about how awesome this was.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And now I'm angry.

[Ed Larson]

One pre roll. That's it. That's it for.

[Henry Zabrowski]

For proof.

[Ed Larson]

A proof of Bigfoot is worth at least $100,000, right? Shut up. Well, I'm offering a pound a week.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

No, no, I don't have $100,000.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, we're not giving.

[Ed Larson]

I don't have that.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, I do not have this money. Yes. No, I'm not giving it. No, no, no. Not giving you the money that you deserve. Technically, you should sell it. But if you want something from us.

[Ed Larson]

Yes, we are. We are. We are overstepping these. Them. Yes. So I want to hear about. I want to find your Bigfoot photos, and if it looks credible, we're going to get it analyzed. And then if it seems like it's on the level. You got a pound of weed coming your way. Yep.
