Henry Zebrowski
This is called a side stories cold open. Now, please prepare your listening abilities for the special guest of the day, Marcus Parks. Hey, how you doing? I'm so stupid.
Marcus Parks
It's more of a cold reception than a cold open. But thank you very much. I appreciate it. It's very nice of you. Yes, it is a cold open. Yeah, I'm here today. How you doing, everybody? We're here with a good announcement.
Henry Zebrowski
It's a good announcement.
Marcus Parks
It's good news. First of all, let's just go ahead and get it out of the way and say what we all want. I know what everyone wants to hear. If you don't want anything to change, it won't.
Ed Larson
I just.
Henry Zebrowski
First of all, nothing essentially is changing except for things that we like.
Marcus Parks
A couple of things are changing.
Henry Zebrowski
Last Podcast on the Left is announcing a partnership with Netflix for our video rights to the show.
Marcus Parks
A partnership, not a sale.
Henry Zebrowski
Not a sale. We are literally just leasing our bodies physically to Netflix to be seen by you. That means Last Podcast on the Left and side Stories will now be appearing in video version on Netflix on all tiers. Really? Yes.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, but I did forget to tell you about this. I didn't even tell him. He didn't even ask why I was in the room.
Henry Zebrowski
He didn't even care. He didn't care. That's what I love about him.
Ed Larson
I work here.
Henry Zebrowski
No, he's the Winston. But to reiterate, nothing else is changing. The podcast will still be available for free wherever podcasts are found. All of the last stream on the left is staying exactly the same. Our deal with Patreon is exactly the same. You can still get ad free episodes of the podcast on patreon.com that is still totally available to you except for the video podcast. Well, that's where we got an even better, better announcement, which is because we're taking Last Podcast on the Left and side stories video off of YouTube and off of our Patreon. We are giving you more stuff, more content. So number one, we have a brand new Sirius XM show that is going to be coming out called Last Letterboxd on the Left, starring Ed Larson and myself doing movie reviews. No.
Marcus Parks
Be coming on every once in a while.
Henry Zebrowski
He will be. And we will be having guests. The video for that is going to be put on Patreon.
Ed Larson
How about that?
Henry Zebrowski
That's for you.
Ed Larson
There you go.
Henry Zebrowski
That's one. All right. Then we have the Miseducation of Ed Larson, I'm an Idiot, in which we will be making footage of Ed learning about topics that Marcus and I will be sending him ahead on so that he can catch up to our stature by the time we do a bunch of new crazy revamp series in the next coming years. That's right.
Ed Larson
And I refuse to read. So we're going be watching documentaries, movies, and I'm gonna watch and you're gonna watch me watch. And then I will be like, that's stupid. And you're gonna be like, Ed's learning all kinds of.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, that's basically it. You get two new shows.
Ed Larson
One more.
Henry Zebrowski
No. Oh, that's not it, Marcus. There's more than that. We are, we are introducing last stream on the left After Dark.
Marcus Parks
Oh, yeah, that.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. So for our truly, our most beloved $25 tier subscribers over on Patreon, what you can give is actual suggestions of videos for us to show on the stream. And then it will be an exclusive to all of the Patreon users that we will then do a 20 minute user submitted video uncut directly for you that lives on Patreon and does not go anywhere else.
Ed Larson
Won't be on YouTube. It won't be anywhere else. Only you, Patreon. Enjoy.
Marcus Parks
And that's going to be once a month.
Henry Zebrowski
Once a month, yeah.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
So three new shows and we're going to be on Netflix, which is amazing because the thing is about the Netflix deal is that it's going to enable us to do so much more cool. Here at the network. We're going to be able to do new video streaming shows.
Ed Larson
Am I going to have to try harder.
Henry Zebrowski
No, absolutely not.
Marcus Parks
You don't have to do anything. You. All you got to do is you got to sit right there and be your cherubic self.
Henry Zebrowski
Also, you know what's incredible about Netflix? And I'll say this, truly, none of these dumb shit YouTube language policing. Yeah, it's all over. We don't have. We could say kill and suicide. Like, we. Like, we can say all the things without him fucking with the algorithm. Right. We're free on there to actually say all the words we'd like to say.
Marcus Parks
Are you telling me I don't have to unalive myself anymore?
Henry Zebrowski
Not anymore.
Ed Larson
That's right. You could just commit regular suicide.
Henry Zebrowski
It's going to be Hitch. All right, so again, nothing has to change if nothing has changed. Nothing has changed. So if there's nothing that you do, if you like the podcast, where you like the podcast, nothing changes.
Marcus Parks
But if you want to watch us on Netflix now, if you want to watch episodes of Side Stories and Episodes, the last podcast on the left on Netflix, you can do that if you have a Netflix account.
Henry Zebrowski
And one last notification. The old episodes are staying on.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
So everything. Nothing is being removed.
Marcus Parks
A couple of. A couple of episodes are going to be put on exclusive on Netflix, but not too many. Still going to be a massive, massive backlog on YouTube.
Henry Zebrowski
All of that will. Almost none of that moves. So it's really just the current series from now on. So just so you know, it's all still there for you now. It will also be on Netflix.
Ed Larson
You know what I find to be very cool is like, Netflix is obviously making a big push, and they're really bringing in a lot of podcasts, and I think that's pretty cool thing to happen over there on Netflix. But I will say we're one of the few independent shows going there.
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, we don't want to toot our horn too much, but yes, it is. This. This is a thing that we got to negotiate. This is a thing that we. That directly helps us here at the network. And we are fucking. We're going to play this all the way down the ball.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Marcus Parks
Helps us, helps our employees, helps everybody. So it's a damn good thing. It's very cool.
Henry Zebrowski
It better be. And if it isn't, then we're sorry. But right now, we love it. We'll see you on Netflix, won't we, Marcus? Yeah.
Marcus Parks
See, on Netflix.
Ed Larson
All right, get back to work, you little bony piece of.
Henry Zebrowski
I'm gonna. All right, I gotta go.
Marcus Parks
I got a whole lot of Murdoch, Work to do.
Henry Zebrowski
Yep. Now, all right.
Ed Larson
Back.
Henry Zebrowski
The side stories is beginning.
Marcus Parks
There's no place to escape to.
Ed Larson
This is the last on the left side story. That's when the cannibalism started.
Henry Zebrowski
Side stories. Yes. All right. We are rolling, guys. Rolling. Rolling, rolling, rolling. What? Rolling, rolling, rolling. I feel like I would have been a perfect person to have led the talk back of Interview with the Vampire season three.
Ed Larson
Oh, yeah. I feel like that would have been great for you.
Henry Zebrowski
That was called. I was asked to by my good friend Joe Randazzo. Right. I'm just going to blow all this up.
Ed Larson
Go ahead. I love it.
Henry Zebrowski
Right. And yes, you want to be. Do you want free money to talk to all these sexy people?
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Right.
Ed Larson
Because I imagine if they're in Interview the Vampire at the television show, I haven't watched it.
Henry Zebrowski
Me neither.
Ed Larson
I imagine they're hot.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
They better be. If they're not hot. Imagine a bunch of fatties.
Henry Zebrowski
A television show. Please, please, can we do it?
Ed Larson
I would probably tune in and watch it.
Henry Zebrowski
There was a pitch that we were coming up with in the day, Right. We were in the back in the day. Me and an old buddy of mine had this concept called Fat Vampire.
Ed Larson
I mean, this is a great idea.
Henry Zebrowski
Why aren't we doing it?
Ed Larson
Fat vampires is hilarious.
Henry Zebrowski
I am so sick. Like, it's a part of when we did Vampire.
Ed Larson
The mas open like.
Henry Zebrowski
Like. Like a Budweiser bloodwise. Yes. That's amazing. Done. Done. Yeah. Look at all these attractive people. I could have talked to Assad Zaman. I don't know what he is. Eric Bosian. I would have my pants to talk to Eric Bos.
Ed Larson
Eric Bosian's cool.
Henry Zebrowski
He was not gonna be a part of that. Talk back. This is the guy that they all love. Yeah, that'.
Ed Larson
He looks like Anders Bravik. Wow. Yeah, but I mean, that's a sexy neck.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, but I don't know what it is about me.
Ed Larson
Kind of nice.
Henry Zebrowski
They straight up said, no, Henry Vampire. Yeah.
Ed Larson
No wonder he got turned with a neck like that. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Dude, they said, henry, no, we don't want you talking to Ray Don Chong. They said, henry, no, we don't need you to be in the same room as Delaney. Who is that? Delaney hails whoever that is. We don't want you in the same room as those people. She seems very kind, which I do understand. Why would you not. Why would you have me? You would have an attractive person. I would be a ringer.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
If I arrived, you would make them even more attractive.
Ed Larson
I think that's the thing.
Henry Zebrowski
Look at this, guys. This is a way to hire me. I'll help.
Ed Larson
Do you think it was the mustache that got you not hired?
Henry Zebrowski
I think it was all of me.
Ed Larson
Because no, no one. I mean, looking at you right now, you should not be talking about this show. No offense. I think this. I'm gonna.
Henry Zebrowski
So when you guys are kissing each other, what do you do? When you guys are kissing each other, is that a thing that you like to do or is it just acting?
Ed Larson
I think whoever they hired was correct.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ed Larson
And I'm on your side all the time, but I really don't think you should have gotten this job.
Henry Zebrowski
Why they call me? They called me.
Ed Larson
I don't know where.
Henry Zebrowski
Like, do you want this job? I was just like, yeah, I'll go talk to sexy people for money. And then. And then two days later, they went sor. Wow again. They're like, well, you're real funny. I was like, yeah. Welcome to side Stories. It doesn't matter. My name is Henry Zabrowski. I'm sitting here with Ed Larson.
Ed Larson
The show's gonna be on Netflix.
Henry Zebrowski
We won.
Ed Larson
Did we win?
Henry Zebrowski
I don't know.
Ed Larson
I'll tell you what. Find out if we won another Netflix announcement. Netflix is a joke. It's going on sale on Friday. We're gonna do a side stories.
Henry Zebrowski
We are at the Avalon, which is amazing. I love that venue.
Ed Larson
It's really cool. It's like an old weird like sex dungeon would for interview the vampire.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh yeah. Honestly, it would have been awesome, dude. But again, I'm giving them no help.
Ed Larson
Yes. He can't. He can't. They're cut off. Yeah, they're cut. You guys are done.
Henry Zebrowski
Cut off.
Ed Larson
You guys are done.
Henry Zebrowski
We're not just heard about you. Never going to hear about you again.
Ed Larson
You just wanted to interview some vampires.
Henry Zebrowski
That's all I wanted to do was to be in the room with the nice smelling people.
Ed Larson
Oh God, this is wonderful. When they all walk in together, they.
Henry Zebrowski
All smell so good.
Ed Larson
So good, so good.
Henry Zebrowski
You know, it's not just like us.
Ed Larson
I haven't put on cologne since prom.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
May 7th we're gonna be at the Avalon doing side stories in Hollywood. 9:45pm Late Night show in Hollywood come out. All part of the Netflix is a joke show. We're gonna glad they included us. Noticed I didn't see my name on the poster.
Henry Zebrowski
Neither one of us. Our names were on the poster.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Or the word side stories.
Henry Zebrowski
Not even once. But guess what? We're gonna sell out and half Those guys aren't. That's right. And because we do an am amazing show and you're gonna come and see our show because you know, if you've seen side Stories live, we crush it. Come check it out. May 7th at the Avalon in Los Angeles, 9:45pm it's gonna be fun as just also remind everybody. Yeah. Now our visuals are on Netflix. But again, nothing has changed about the podcast because you're probably listening to this on whatever way you listen to your podcast. So congratulations.
Ed Larson
Yeah. You still want to use what it's a. What's a weird one. Stereo gum. Is that. Does that exist, Podcast addict? If you're on podcast attic, put the needle in. We're here for you.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Go make sure none of our listens count.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
You know, like go over there, but.
Ed Larson
Honestly, take your phone and cook it on a spoon and stab it right in there.
Henry Zebrowski
But we just, we, you know, just again, we're here. We're here and exactly the same. We're not going to change anything and we're going to prove that. Up top. Eddie, where should we start?
Ed Larson
Oh, man, I don't know. Should we say some bad words? Ass titties. Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Demonetized me now. Yeah. Try to hide our show now in the algorithm.
Ed Larson
We do have some updates. People are what there's the stolen bodies. People talking about like what you could do with the stolen bodies or why. Whether it's a crime or not.
Henry Zebrowski
One thing I wanted to talk about was the actual crimes of Jonathan Gerlach after we got the. We talked about last week. Jonathan Gerlach. He and I would say bone enthusiast, oddities collector. Technically. He's a photographer.
Ed Larson
Professional creep.
Henry Zebrowski
Professional creepist. He is getting the book thrown at him for countless different burglary accounts. For him robbing graves. He does he robbing graves? Especially those of little babies. We talked a little bit about what makes this a crime and I thought it was really interesting is that we asked people over at the Mooter Museum, like, we asked like, what do they do? Because we know that they were in the middle of their like repatriation process. Right. Where it's. The idea is trying to figure out where all the weird inside of their museum goes to. And it's kind of amazing is that like most of it there's like no connection anymore and there's almost no, like they don't have anybody to call.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And so. Yeah. So I mean, how are you going to find things? Been there for 100 and something years. How are you really going to find out what happens.
Henry Zebrowski
It's 8. They say now that it's about 10% of the collection has been obtained under what we could continue to be what we would consider our modern definition of medical consent. Right. And they say even 10%, it might be generously high. But it is interesting that Thomas Dent Mutter, when he started the collection, he never intended for it to be widely accessible to a public audience. It was a teaching collection for his medical students in the days before photography became widespread and when human bodies for dissection were hard to come by. One way to show a medical student how to identify syphilis, leprosy, cancer, and, you know, endless list of all the other horrible things. Yeah. That are in the Mutter Museum was to show them a wet specimen preserved in formaldehyde.
Ed Larson
It's probably better than a picture.
Henry Zebrowski
It is, because then you can actually see it. Because what we know is that. But it's hard to be a doctor in a way, because you have to go from the patient's descriptions of their issues, and you have to find all of these things. You have to find. You have to kind of find the right way through. And sometimes you really gotta feel a pancreas.
Ed Larson
Yeah, man. If you can't slap it. What are you doing?
Henry Zebrowski
What are we doing here? If I can't get my fingernails into the flesh of the kidney, I'm. I'm not learning anything.
Ed Larson
That's right.
Henry Zebrowski
So that is what's interesting, is that now they are working at the Mutant Museum. But Jonathan Gerlach, he was doing grave robbing.
Ed Larson
And we know that the Moody Museum thing. Not to jump off it too fast, but it was interesting to me that they're not really taking new shit. No, they don't want the hot stuff. They're happy with what they got.
Henry Zebrowski
They're full. Yeah, they're very, very full. And this is also interesting about where human bodies go to. This comes from a funeral service instructor. It's not so much that someone owns the human remains after death, they are considered quasi property. But there's a person or persons that has the legal authority to direct what happens to those human remains. We call them the authorizing agent. It is sometimes the next of kin that is the closest blood relative, but more often it is the surviving spouse. They direct whether disposition is by burial, entombment or cremation. And later on, they have the remains disinterred from a cemetery and move somewhere else. They can do. The only ones that can do that. Okay. But the. That is, again, it's like a Default thing. If you don't just. If you just die and you have nobody to claim your remains, they do just sit there.
Ed Larson
Good.
Henry Zebrowski
And so they do put them up. And a lot of people. There's a lot of people that say, like, you know, one thought, kind of a theoretical thing is they said, really part of the issue of desecrating graves is this concept we have of like in the architectural world that graves are an extension of the soul. Like, it's this kind of like pseudo.
Ed Larson
But if you believe in souls, they left the body long before they even got to the grave.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. There. But there are people. This is about people saying, like, what's truly wrong with destroying a tomb? Which is that it's an extension of human life. That's how they view it in a way, architecturally, like, like artistically. Yeah.
Ed Larson
I think what he did, like busting up the fucking. The tombs and the mausoleum area, you know, that's messed up. Because it's like destruction of property.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
And it looks nice.
Henry Zebrowski
It does. And it's historical landmarks.
Ed Larson
And.
Henry Zebrowski
And the one thing I got from a lot of people was that they. It seems that I was on the correct track, which is this is a very Bible bound part of the United States of America.
Ed Larson
Philly.
Henry Zebrowski
No. Where he's at.
Ed Larson
He's close to Philly.
Mint Mobile Advertiser
No.
Henry Zebrowski
Jonathan Gerlach is still like. But where they are at is very religious. And that's a part of what they're throwing the fucking book out of Fishtown, not Fishtown. There's no God giving out fish. Yeah. But he would only because he had to. You think he would have just given them out? Yeah, he's Pennsylvania.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Middle Pennsylvania. He's Delco boy. But we really wanted to talk about here what his real crimes were, which is. And I, I. To be honest, I think it's. His other artistic endeavors are some of the single worst things I've ever heard. I actually think that this is worse than what he did.
Ed Larson
Yes, absolutely.
Henry Zebrowski
His crime then. His quote, unquote crimes that he was booked for.
Ed Larson
Rob, can we please play? He has music.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. And I can't. This is one of those pretentious things. This is the most pretentious thing I've seen for a while. This is the title of the video, the Classroom Sessions. Colon blind slash bird dash, scene three, hospital stress quote unquote undelivered flowers.
Ed Larson
Okay. I think the Classroom Sessions is the.
Henry Zebrowski
Name of the scenes.
Ed Larson
Yes. Yeah, yeah, that was it. Because he did. I probably recorded in the classroom.
Henry Zebrowski
Why is it all in one title? I don't know. It's 10 years old. I know.
Ed Larson
10 years old. 786 views.
Henry Zebrowski
He should have been arrested for this thing.
Ed Larson
Whoever found this good sleuthing.
Henry Zebrowski
Okay, here we go.
Ed Larson
God, this guy has fired from Fridays written all over his face.
Henry Zebrowski
I hate this person. This is literally Jonathan Gerlach. This is the worst thing you've ever done. I can't sleep in my own bed tonight. Smell of your skin I think of mornings when I'd wake to my face lost in your hair I'll never run.
Marcus Parks
My fingers down your curves again Would.
Henry Zebrowski
Feel the rush of my nerves as.
Marcus Parks
Your lips and my chest God.
Henry Zebrowski
Kill him. Arrest this man.
Ed Larson
Man.
Henry Zebrowski
Arrest this man. Arrest him. Have him taken from me. Arrest this man.
Ed Larson
It is worse than the bones.
Henry Zebrowski
If this is more. That's way worse.
Ed Larson
Like, way worse than the bones.
Henry Zebrowski
Making boy Henley music like Henley T shirt music. You know what I mean?
Ed Larson
It's like if young blood was dried blood.
Henry Zebrowski
Dude, young blood was old blood. What's his other one like? Is it any better? No, it's called Beautiful Womb.

Ed Larson

Henry Zebrowski
You were made beautiful. Ugh. You were a most flawless creation. Crucify him.
Ed Larson
Every molecule in your body was flawlessly aligned. And in that womb, you were made whole.
Henry Zebrowski
Do we owe him money? Is that what this is gonna do?
Ed Larson
Oh, my God. Absolutely.
Henry Zebrowski
No.
Ed Larson
He's in jail. He can't make any money.
Henry Zebrowski
You can't copyright this even if he wanted to. Right? I think the government would reject.
Ed Larson
Yeah, no, this is actually copy wrong. Energy that surrounds us all. What is this one called?
Henry Zebrowski
The little Beautiful Beautiful Womb. All right, shut the up, bro.
Ed Larson
I wonder, all right.
Henry Zebrowski
That's the worst thing I've ever seen.
Ed Larson
I wonder if his roommates got mad when he was recording that.
Henry Zebrowski
I bet you his roommate right now is gonna be really happy to hear that he's got a soundtrack that he can apply to their love making.
Ed Larson
Oh, yes, I would. You are one blind bird who can't see what's coming.
Henry Zebrowski
Hey, hey, there's one. Which one comment that says crazy that this dude robs graves.
Ed Larson
You're right.
Henry Zebrowski
Damn near 4121.
Ed Larson
You're correct.

All right, one more update was that the Department of Homeland Security we now know purchased a system. So last week I talked about, which I think is really funny is how many people were like Henry explicitly said that we cannot beat the US Government so we should not protest anymore. And I can. I need another rousing Marcus speech, another rousing positive Marcus speech in order to be able to protest again. And I get it. I understand. I was talking last week, probably a piece of propaganda from the US Government about our attack of stealing the president of Venezuela. Right.
Ed Larson
Talking about the sound machine that made the guys puke.
Henry Zebrowski
All the kinds of them popping the guys. Right. We now know that like yes, I was saying it because I thought it was interesting. We were mostly making a point towards the parts of the pe. The section of the population of the United States of America that have big guns guns and think that those big guns are the things that are going to help them against the government. That's what I was talking about. Of course. I think that there are more of us than ever. So that's what you got to do. You got to flood the zone, and we have to do General Strike. That's the only thing that's going to win in General Strike.
Ed Larson
And just be creative. Remember, we're smart. I mean, looking at Minneapolis, what they're doing over there is so cool. And how they're dressing up like ICE agents and then going in and like, saying, imposter, imposter. And like, making them all fight each other and then run away.
Henry Zebrowski
More and more of this jam.
Ed Larson
So cool.
Henry Zebrowski
Jam. Jam it up. This is the idea, guys, is that this is how. This is how the people win. They win with ideas, and they win by moving and. But all that being said, I don't think that the sound weapons that we saw or they talked about in Venezuela is quite what's going on there, but there is something going on.
Ed Larson
There's definitely sound weapons. And I'm sure that's the perfect time for a bunch of maniacs to try out some they never used before.
Henry Zebrowski
We saw it in Belgrade. We know that they use something weird in Belgrade to dispel a bunch of rioters. We know that. We also know that in Defense, the Defense Department has come forward and said that they purchased a device for millions of dollars. And I guess what they say in the waning days of the Biden administration.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Saying that they had bought a thing that could fit in a backpack from Russia that could disperse a Havana syndrome like sound that they could use for crowd disposal. Like, we now know that that is a thing that they definitely did.
Ed Larson
And they purchased it for what they said was eight figures, which could be 10 million or 99 million.
Henry Zebrowski
That's a lot for one. One.
Ed Larson
It's a lot for one.
Henry Zebrowski
I feel like they need to get one of those. Buy one, get half off of another.
Ed Larson
I know.
Henry Zebrowski
Is Russia not do deals?
Ed Larson
I don't think they do deals.
Henry Zebrowski
Why doesn't Russia do sales?
Ed Larson
I mean, I think you just have to take the Russia thing.
Henry Zebrowski
I feel like with Putin and stuff like that, he could really help. You know what could help Russia's coupons?
Ed Larson
You know, it's that lack of capitalism that's really hurting them.
Henry Zebrowski
That's what I've been saying to every single homeless person I see, every single time I see them. It's your lack of capitalism that's hurting you. I'm like, that's what you got to do. You got to add more capitalism to this situation. But this is mostly just talking about how it's out there. They're using sound weaponry. I don't think it means that you can't Protest anymore. I think that you should absolutely protest.
Ed Larson
Please.
Henry Zebrowski
I just think that it's important to remember that the US government is super protective over their super secret technology. And we only see a sliver of it. And now we have a melting pedophile rapist in charge of all of it. And that guy is. Is just using it now. And so we'll see. We'll see how it goes. But I'm gang. General strike.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
If you want to do something, does.
Ed Larson
That mean we have to?
Henry Zebrowski
I think that it does not imply to entertainers.
Ed Larson
If everyone strikes, does that mean that we stop talking or do people need us more?
Henry Zebrowski
Then I. I'm gonna say that we would continue to do the show. If we do a general strike, we're gonna.
Ed Larson
Netflix say.
Henry Zebrowski
They'Re gonna be like, work till you die. Work do you die. I wish that you were both 20 year old Asians I could pay a dime to, but I can't. And I want. I wish I could. I wish I could take you both and turn you to enbs. That would work for free. There's nothing Netflix would make happier.
Ed Larson
I just want to know where we stand.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, we know. Nowhere you stand nowhere. And there is video evidence of these weapons. No, I know we talked about this. We talked about this last year. If you watch this video is crazy. No, we talked about this. It's a. It sounds like the buildings are collapsing. It is a. This is a thing that they have done. We know it's out there. It is just understanding. Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Oh, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
We've seen this video many times.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's. Yeah, I watch it. It's crazy.
Henry Zebrowski
It's crazy. But that's why. It's just when we do the general strike. No stories, Eddie.
Ed Larson
No stories.
Henry Zebrowski
That's what we'll do. Oh, computer's gone.
Ed Larson
Just, just free riff, free riff. This is Holden's time.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, wow.
Ed Larson
That's Strike.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, wow.
Ed Larson
Talk about Strike.
Henry Zebrowski
He does the show. Yeah, we.
Ed Larson
We'll come in and sit here in silence.
Henry Zebrowski
We will sit here in silence, Holden.
Ed Larson
Probably be in the room on camera.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Dude, why don't we do this, man? General strike's gotta happen. It's the only thing that's gonna change stuff. Understand that. I'll just, Just, just know that. Just. The key to that is you just have to lay down in the streets.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Can't fight. That's what they want. All right, here we go. So we got more great stories. One of my. This is another really funny.
Ed Larson
This is funny.
Henry Zebrowski
This makes me laugh every once In a while on side Story, somebody will send in a tale that sounds innocuous at first, and then you lift up the COVID of it, and it's wildly deep.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
And you don't. Didn't know that it got that deep. One example was a couple of years ago, we covered a story of someone talking about. In Edmonton, Canada, a guy was taking a shit, and he said that a man came from underneath the stall next to him and said, say, hey, can I buy your. I'm gonna eat that. And we covered that, and it turns out it was a whole thing.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
Right.
Ed Larson
He's been doing it all over the.
Henry Zebrowski
Place all throughout Canada.
Ed Larson
Right. He was just. And he's just filled with money, I guess.
Henry Zebrowski
No, I don't think he's rich. He was the west Edmonton mall poop eater, so. But there's a new one in town. There's a new one, and a part of the reason why is.
Ed Larson
I think I'm collecting it was diarrhea. He couldn't buy a problem, probably.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, no, he'd get whatever he could get.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't think he was choosy, Eddie. All right, Beggars can't be choosers. But this next one is another example of what I would call another member of my own personal sinister six. All right? The Piggyback Bandit. Now, this is real. This. This is recent.
Ed Larson
Okay?
Henry Zebrowski
I'm an athletic trainer at a high school in the Chicago area. I provide medical coverage for all sports at my school. This past Monday, one of my athletes came to me reporting that he was injured over the weekend. He reports that he spoke to a male athletic trainer at the school, and he received a massage to help with the pain. Couple problems here. There was an injury. I know the ATS at the school, and they would have messaged me to let me know. Second, there are no male ats at that school. Also, ats don't just give massages to make it better. That's weird.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, at first, I was thinking the kid might be lying to get out of practice, get sympathy, or just be done with the set. With. Done with the season. Yeah. Yeah, right. We don't want to do it anymore. Figured he could be exaggerating, just not telling the whole story, whatever it happens. In this morning, I receive an email about this guy called the Piggyback Bandit that has been spotted around schools in our area doing some research. He has been going at it since 2012.
Ed Larson
Whoa.
Henry Zebrowski
And he is banned from high school athletics in five states.
Ed Larson
Five states?
Henry Zebrowski
Five states.
Ed Larson
Not even cities or Counties.
Henry Zebrowski
He took a 3,000 mile road trip doing this. He is allegedly a person with special needs, as reported by his mother, trying to get in with teams to be their waterboy manager. He's known to jump on athletes backs for piggyback rides.
Ed Larson
Oh, so he's stealing the rides. That's why he's the big.
Henry Zebrowski
He's rubbing his balls against the backs of children.
Ed Larson
Oh, there he is.
Henry Zebrowski
And that's him right there. He's a big old boy. 2, 4, 40.
Ed Larson
That's too big.
Henry Zebrowski
240, right. 240 pounds, right. He passed vulgar notes and he's offered and given massages and he gave kids money for letting him massage them.
Ed Larson
I would never let that man massage me.
Henry Zebrowski
I confused, right? He's bad at it.
Ed Larson
There's nothing about this guy. It's like, you know what? I think he knows how to run.
Henry Zebrowski
No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't take it again unless he pays you first. Take the money up front. I confirmed with my athletes his story. He stuck to the story of a male at helping out after his injury. I contacted the other school and asked them if they had a to to somebody helping that day. No. So now we know that he is back out there. This is the year 2026.
Ed Larson
So he's been stealing piggyback rides for 14 years.
Henry Zebrowski
For 14 years. It started when he was a little boy. Now, I guess it started in high school. He was the water boy for his own personal high school team. His name is Sherman Shegan.
Ed Larson
That sounds like a piggyback bandit's name.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, and he looks like a guy. That is a bandit for piggybacks.
Ed Larson
He looks like a piggy.
Henry Zebrowski
That is a guy that loves rubbing his dick and balls against the smalls of the backs of children.
Ed Larson
Is he mentally challenged?
Henry Zebrowski
Yes, but that is. It is showing that he is far more cunning than we thought he would be. So in high school he started as a water boy.
Ed Larson
All right.
Henry Zebrowski
This is was. It goes back as far as his high school days where it started where he was getting in trouble for jumping on the backs of boys after they had gotten out of the shack. Towel, right?
Ed Larson
Yeah, that's. You can't do that. You gotta wait a little bit.
Henry Zebrowski
Run him dry.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Get him towel first.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's just covered in towels.
Henry Zebrowski
I gotta go. I gotta jump on Jose. How's you gotta go? Yeah, right. So 2012 is the first time he's brought up on charges for this. In which he jumps on the back of a so of a child so the first thing that happens is in his high school. He came back to his high school after he had graduated, insinuate himself back in the team, and did it several times. And for a while they just considered him a nuisance. We gotta entertain.
Ed Larson
At what point do you call him a water man?
Henry Zebrowski
I think no point. No point. So we'll read the note that he handed to the person too. So here we go.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
So what he then did is that later on he would go. Eventually he was banned from his high school, saying, you can't come to any form of athletics program. He starts going to high schools in the neighboring states.
Ed Larson
8.
Henry Zebrowski
Right. Learning how to do it. So he starts to understand to dress in the uniform of the traveling team.
Ed Larson
Oh.
Henry Zebrowski
Showing up at high schools because the. The traveling team and a high school is like, they're away from everybody. They have one teacher with them. So he insinuates himself with the kids afterwards.
Ed Larson
Yeah, I'm the new guy. They hired me for the day.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. And then I can see a coach.
Ed Larson
Even be like, oh, good.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, whatever. Right? Or he's the guy that we have. Right. We have to have this guy we're using. This guy stands out. He stands out.
Ed Larson
I mean, you can't dress like one players at 45.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, that's what he think. He's 20 at this point. He's probably in his mid-30s. Shirt. He wears like a basketball jersey and shorts again. So it's real easy for his material. You guys know. You guys know what happens to the guy?
Ed Larson
It's cats.
Henry Zebrowski
You know what happens when you wear basketball shirts to the strip also?
Ed Larson
Nobody. They don't let you in.
Henry Zebrowski
But. Yeah, but they don't.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
But guess what they do. They let you right into a high school sports gymnasium. They say, right this way.
Ed Larson
All right, forget about this guy for two seconds. Seconds. I. The basketball team's mascot is Cats.
Henry Zebrowski
I think that's a general jersey. That's like a jersey he just had, dude.
Ed Larson
Cats. Cats. The Minnesota Cats.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, we play for the Kansas City Dogs.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Just dogs.
Ed Larson
Yeah, we're rabbits.
Henry Zebrowski
We're just dogs. Rabbits.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
We're the singular giraffe. Hello. Welcome to the Montgomery Bay Singular gir. Giraffes. Just one giraffe. But he. So that's where it's go again. Escalates.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
He goes on a 3,000. I sort of said this 3,000 mile road trip around the country to five states where he is systematically in a car.
Ed Larson
And he wasn't riding some poor boy.
Henry Zebrowski
Yo, he. You dude, you joke. He used to do. He used to hitchhike, and people used to just take.
Ed Larson
Make them. Right, okay.
Henry Zebrowski
And they used to. So he used to piggyback rides, too. He used to do the whole thing. And he'd go and be like, yeah, you know, I'm just going from state to state, just traveling, just, you know, just trying to go. And so 2012, he got arrested. 2018, he gets arrested again. This time, he gets arrested for jumping on the back of a boy, handing him a note. And this one, when he got the. The note, it had $20. And he's in the note, he said, do you show. Do you fart with that? But I wish that you do more than just sitting and farting with that butt.
Ed Larson
Right?
Henry Zebrowski
Has an ideas. Having ideas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. Have an idea.
Ed Larson
It's a genuine question.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes, but again, he is again, right.
Ed Larson
What else can you do with it?
Henry Zebrowski
This is another example of a note that he gave to someone else. So this is word for word what he wrote. $10 plus note massage.
Ed Larson
Oh, so he's lowering his price.
Henry Zebrowski
This is $10 for you letting me give you a massage. Thank you for letting me give you a massage. Money wisely. Also, I want to tell. Let me do this. Actually, take this back. Let me take it back.
Ed Larson
Yeah, get in the character.
Henry Zebrowski
This is $10 for you letting me give you a massage. Thank you for letting me give you a massage. Use this money wisely. Also, I want to tell you, you have a nice ass with those pants on. Use your ass wisely to fart and poop. Oh. So I heard if you wear your hat backwards, you fought more than other people. I got my hat backwards, too.
Ed Larson
You would figure as a professional piggyback rider, the backwards hat would be an obstacle that you don't want to deal with.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't think he's thinking about that. I don't think he's thinking about that. I think that he is out there, dude. But this is like, again, I cover this. It's just been going on for four.
Ed Larson
This was given to someone at Disneyland grad night.
Henry Zebrowski
14 years. He just can go in, buddy. He has it.
Ed Larson
He legitimately collared shirt and confidence will get you in anywhere.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, you remember when we just walked into Midsummer Screamers going, we're press. Yeah, we press. We just walked in because we didn't get the proper lanyard. It's easy to do, guys. Things are that secure. There's a gaping hole in the White House right now. Remind you.
Ed Larson
Remind.
Henry Zebrowski
The wind is entering the White House right now. It is super easy. Super easy. And so that happened to me at.
Ed Larson
A PFUG concert once. I was going to meet my buddy Danny, and I just, like, straight up walked all the way back to his green room, and he's like, how'd you get back here? I was like, I just walked back here. Yep.
Henry Zebrowski
I always remember when they canceled that concert mid. It was like there was some kind of weather warning. It was during again. Pop set at that cruel world fest. Same thing where they just let all the doors open. Yeah. And so, like, me and Natalie were just, like, with Iggy Pop's family. Like, we were out there. Like, I don't know why we're here. I don't know how we got here. Natalie's hot enough to not be questioned. Like, that's the thing. And then we look like a producer and wife together, because it's like a hot chicken. Little fat man. So this is. This guy is. I think so is he in jail.
Ed Larson
Or is he free and running around?
Henry Zebrowski
He's been. Technically, he has not been picked up since 2018, but if you look.
Ed Larson
That's not good for a piggyback bandit. No, you got to be picked up all the time.
Henry Zebrowski
But, dude, he's out there. He's in Indiana right now.
Ed Larson
ESPN has covered this.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, buddy. High school sports. That's a high school sports. You got to do this, man. Man.
Ed Larson
Espn. Whenever they have to deal with real news. And so, like, when Jerry Sandusky happened, I was working at a sports bar and every day at the like. So the coach of Penn State.
Henry Zebrowski
So he used to set up the lawn chairs in a position so that he could see the kids make the left hook out of the shower and make a stopping pattern right in front of him and stop and fade. There's a stop and fade in front of him because then they could do it with plays, and it's easier for them to do it. But yeah. Just know that he's out there. Sherman, Sherman. Sherman. Oh, his horrible name. He's got a horrible name. Sherwin Shayagan Shegan. So he's out there. And honestly, come on the show. Side stories. LPOTL gmail.com I'd love to talk with you about it because he's a saddle on Holden. Because you know who else I got on the close to the show now? Eddie. And you'd be so happy. Besides Haddon. Clark.
Ed Larson
Oh, yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Hadn't Clark sent us a drawing of us?
Ed Larson
Had right behind. Is that his name?
Henry Zebrowski
Clark sent us a drawing of us.
Ed Larson
Yeah. I. I hate this.
Henry Zebrowski
Fresh for Netflix.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Congrats, Netflix. You know how you. You let. You let what's his name, Michael Bay sell his Haddon Clark special over to fucking Hulu. Never again, Netflix.
Ed Larson
Michael Bay made a special about this.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah.
Ed Larson
How many people did he kill?
Henry Zebrowski
Two or two or three.
Ed Larson
Two or three. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
And look at that. He drew our faces Godly. Well, it's.
Ed Larson
It looks like us if we were serial killers. Exactly, exactly. It really does. I. We have to get it out of here. I don't want it.
Henry Zebrowski
I sent some of his beard as well. Yeah.
Ed Larson
Each one of us. Pieces of his beard. The coffee print, hands and feet.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I won't touch that.
Ed Larson
Apparently he listens to the show and I.
Henry Zebrowski
No, no.
Ed Larson
He died, buddy.
Henry Zebrowski
He doesn't listen. He doesn't listen.
Ed Larson
Then how did. Why did he care?
Henry Zebrowski
A listener brought this to him.
Ed Larson
So hold on. So hold on. So he doesn't listen?
Henry Zebrowski
No.
Ed Larson
And a listener was like, these guys, they. They did a show about you.
Henry Zebrowski
He. They literally just said I wasn't a.
Ed Larson
Part of that show. How do you find out what I look like?
Henry Zebrowski
The guy pitched it at him and then they just went. And he found a picture of you on the. In the prison library.
Ed Larson
In the prison library?
Henry Zebrowski
I guess.
Ed Larson
What's in there? I'm not even in. Last book on the left.
Henry Zebrowski
No, he went on the Internet.
Ed Larson
Oh, yeah, I bet.
Henry Zebrowski
God knows. I'd love to see his search history.
Ed Larson
God. So is he, like, healthy? What's this deal? Are we going to. Is he.
Henry Zebrowski
No.
Ed Larson
Is he going to get the chair?
Henry Zebrowski
No.
Ed Larson
Is he convinced? Is he. Did he get a murder? What's the deal?
Henry Zebrowski
70 years.
Ed Larson
That's it?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, but he's 73 now.
Ed Larson
Is he getting out? When did he do this? Right. Can we find out?
Henry Zebrowski
What. What year?
Ed Larson
When is he born?
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, 2060s. I get out to 2060.
Ed Larson
2060. Oh, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
He's got time.
Ed Larson
Go yourself, you coward. You shit bag. Dickless face. Come for me. Come for Ed Larson. You. You bastard.
Henry Zebrowski
I just feel like we finally made it. We finally made it.
Ed Larson
All right.
Henry Zebrowski
All right. Here we go.
Ed Larson
We're getting rid of this. Not staying here.
Henry Zebrowski
You don't know.
Ed Larson
We'll figure it out.
Henry Zebrowski
We're going to donate it to a hospital or something. Yeah. You know, Children's Hospital. Children's Hospital.
Ed Larson
Wish I would like a picture drum by a serial killer.
Henry Zebrowski
Can that not happen? Why does that not happen yet? Why is not. What can a Make a wish kids be like, I want to meet David Bokowitz.
Ed Larson
Where is Gary Richmond?
Henry Zebrowski
Can you bring. Can we bring a make a wish child to Gary Witch? You wait before he dies? That would be amazing. And he'd just be like, that's the. This is really one of the specialist days of my life. He's going to be so honored.
Ed Larson
I always wanted to meet the Green river killer.
Henry Zebrowski
That'd be amazing. John Cena would be so angry.

Henry Zebrowski
All right, here we go. I got another great. He's a great stuff story. This is a story about a workplace accident. God, it makes me laugh. So there are people that do these things they just jump off of, huh? Right? They just jump off of and they fly around. They act like it's a thing they're.
Ed Larson
Supposed to be doing, but I like watching the videos. It's a lot of fun.
Henry Zebrowski
I think it is. I think it's one of the scariest things ever. And I think that you should really think about it when you do it. His name is Brendan Weinstein. Dean from Utah. He did the fatal thing that a wingsuit diver should. Should never do, which is he never pulled up. He jumped off a. This very specific. He flew all the way down to this Cape Town, South Africa.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Apparently he did none of the proper research of what he was supposed to jump.
Ed Larson
You're not supposed. You're not allowed to do it there.
Henry Zebrowski
You will. They say there's a way to do it, but you have to be walked through it. I have no idea idea how. Okay. I don't know how you walk through jumping off a cliff. Like I don't know how. You do it half speed. You know what I mean? So this guy is very experienced.
Ed Larson
He's something like thousands of top guys in the world.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. Thousands of hours of doing wing gliding. Essentially what he does is he's a wingsuit pilot. So he wears one of those like flying squirrel shoots and he jumps off the stuff. Right. And so he went to this place, the iconic mountain. Some, some place, some place that people love to do it. And I do love that the IR star that this story comes from. It's like over 50 astonished tourists descending the steep path to the peak of the iconic 1086 Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. Heard the thrill seekers cries as he became aware of his impending fate. It comes after a separate horrifying incident where a woman, 27, was gang raped, stabbed 50 times and forced to carry her intestines in her hands. Why are we talking about that story gives a.
Ed Larson
About a guy who jumps off a cliff for fun.
Henry Zebrowski
People stop. Gotta stop going to this park. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I think the, the park.
Ed Larson
Cape Town's got a very high murder rate.
Henry Zebrowski
I know. It's just, it's a horrible.
Ed Larson
They have no water there and they're killing each other.
Henry Zebrowski
I know, I was just laughing because of the survey. How horrible it is to watch the squirrel man want to fly over this and him saying, I'll do you one better. Like as soon as he's heard there was a story of a woman getting gang raped and murdered by 50 people, he's like, I'm gonna jump over it.
Ed Larson
And I'll capture it all on my. My GoPro strapped to my hand.
Henry Zebrowski
That's exactly what they need. That'll fix it. I'll thank you Moroni for the idea. He, I mean a bet he's Mormon. So he jumped off the thing. He jumped off the thing and apparently you're supposed to. There's like a very. They said that it's supposed to spread your arms and not there's one thing that you're definitely supposed to do, and that's fly in it. I would say it is. Is use it to fly. Because he jumps off, and apparently it's this. They said a technical jump, which I guess means it's like there's a certain point in which you just need to pivot. Side stories. LPOTL gmail.com explained wingsuit diving.
Ed Larson
Henry and I have actually never done it.
Henry Zebrowski
You'd be surprised. You really be surprised. Henry Zabrowski, who's afraid of elevators, has not yet donned a wingsuit. They said it was something, but they can't find one in 38 ways. Have you guys ever skydive at either one of you? I would rather shoot me an ad. Why?
Ed Larson
There's no reason for it.
Henry Zebrowski
Just shoot me. That.
Ed Larson
You sk. You skydive one time.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Oh, God. It's stupid.
Henry Zebrowski
It was scary, but of course it was scary.
Ed Larson
What are you. The piggyback pendant? Yeah, it was scary when I jumped out of the plane.
Henry Zebrowski
But that is one of the best parts about it was the tandem. The tandem situation.
Ed Larson
Piggyback.
Henry Zebrowski
Piggyback in the sky. Piggyback in the sky. I feel him harden. Yeah, man. I would never do that. That is the dumbest in the face of the planet. But really, the thing that was the reason why. Okay, the reason why I found this cruelly funny was because the reason why they don't want people jumping here is because they have all these hiking trails. And so this family was in. Was on their vacation, and just. It's like a cartoon. They heard, and they said the really only way to describe it is it's a split flat. And this woman just was like. She watched him hit and just got black. Covered in blood. The whole family covered in blood, watching this dude just explode on the trail like, five feet in front of him. So what happened?
Ed Larson
Did he not, like, zip up a wing or something? I think that's probably what happened.
Henry Zebrowski
They got parachutes in them, so he could have done a lot of stuff, man.
Ed Larson
Yeah, but the parachute don't matter if you're, like, falling head first, like, at a rapid rate along the side of a cliff.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. If the parachute doesn't go. Go off, dude. Yeah. That'd be a rough. Well, you know, isn't.
Ed Larson
All right. Not to be this guy, but, like, isn't this, like, part of the thrill and part of, like, why they do it is because occasionally one of them dies horribly.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Why would you. Why? If it was safe 24 7, I'm.
Ed Larson
Not saying they deserve it or anything like that, but I'm saying, isn't this why they do it? Because it. Because it. You almost die every time you do it.
Henry Zebrowski
I guarantee that when guys die, it's sort of like. You know what I always heard about gambling addicts? Like they say about. With gambling addicts, it's actually the losing that keeps you in. Is that in a way where, like, yeah, like the. The minimal. Like the wins that give you the adrenaline high that kind of like, are the tent poles of the whole thing.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
But sometimes there's a perverse, like, Norm MacDonald talk about the idea of. He. We described the freedom of losing all of his money. God, he'd have this freedom. Freedom where he'd be like, I'm out, and I just go make new money again. And he just, like. He considered it like a breath of fresh air. I think guys are like this where it's like when. When guys. Other wingsuit divers hear other guys die. I think it makes them want to be in.
Ed Larson
Want to do it more.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Because they're like, I want to beat that guy.
Ed Larson
Kind of how I want ham more now that I know it causes cancer.
Henry Zebrowski
The fact that ham. Think about this at. Yeah, ham is now the same level of carcinogen as a cigarette.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
How cool are cigarettes? I mean, think about this. Take it back.
Ed Larson
I mean, how cool is ham?
Henry Zebrowski
Roll up ham.
Ed Larson
That's right.
Henry Zebrowski
New.
Ed Larson
Smoke it.
Henry Zebrowski
Cigarette.
Ed Larson
I mean, that I will get into. I'm not smoking cigarettes. That's bad for you.
Henry Zebrowski
I just wish we could find a thing that we could also bring the Jews in on. And the Muslims. They can't have either one. They can't have that cancer.
Ed Larson
That's our cancer.
Henry Zebrowski
Cancer.
Ed Larson
It's not their cancer.
Henry Zebrowski
They should be out. They should be allowed.
Ed Larson
They get their own cancer. Don't worry about that. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
All that smoke.
Ed Larson
So I. I found. There's another workplace accident that really like it. It shook me to my core.
Henry Zebrowski
This is a. This is.
Ed Larson
Yeah, this is a Florida pastry chef at a kosher bakery was sucked in and killed by a bread mixing machine.
Henry Zebrowski
That is bad.
Ed Larson
This is the type of machine it was. Henry. Look at that.
Henry Zebrowski
That small.
Ed Larson
That's.
Henry Zebrowski
You get caught in it.
Ed Larson
Your arm or your, like, apron gets caught in it, and you get sucked in there. You're an old man.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, if it's. There are bigger ones than that.
Ed Larson
There are bigger ones for sure, but I don't think it was. It's a small kosher bakery. So I imagine you got caught in.
Henry Zebrowski
One of those ripped his arm off.
Ed Larson
I think it ripped his arm off. And he probably bled out also, so.
Henry Zebrowski
No one's even saying it. They're saying that the death is being still investigated.
Ed Larson
Like someone pushed him in. No. No way.
Henry Zebrowski
It says here it says, a friend wrote, he gave me his hand in the most difficult moments. And that's got to be so hard now.
Ed Larson
Yeah, because he doesn't have one. But the. No, they said they do not suspect foul play. And it's misspelled.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. I don't think chickens were involved at all, because that would be. He would have been making matzo ball soup.
Ed Larson
Yeah. So his dude got caught up in a dome mix.
Henry Zebrowski
Dude. That is so scary.
Ed Larson
Gnarly way to die.
Henry Zebrowski
It's also, like. It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I never thought this thing of my ultimate tool, of my pleasure would ever be the thing that killed me.
Ed Larson
I know, because he lives. Probably worked with it for 40 years.
Henry Zebrowski
But at least it shows. You keep your head on a swivel.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
You never know when that dough machine's gonna jump up and bite you.
Ed Larson
Tie that up. Apron.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't know.
Ed Larson
I don't know what caught him. I'm assuming it was an apron that wasn't tied.
Henry Zebrowski
It could have been his master celebratory belt. It could have been his sash. That said, ask me, I'm the rabbi.
Ed Larson
Is that them taking him out?
Henry Zebrowski
No. I guess this happens somewhat often. People getting stuck in these bread mixing machines.
Ed Larson
Well, think about it. I mean, I don't know. Was the last time you made cookies with, like, a little one of these machines at your house?
Henry Zebrowski
I don't have one.
Ed Larson
You don't have one? I. I do, and I always. Every time I see it, I put my hand in there. I'm like, this could just rip my arm off. Any. Any moment.
Henry Zebrowski
I deal with.
Ed Larson
That's a tiny one.
Henry Zebrowski
Absolutely. I deal with the pure existential terror of sticking my hand in a garbage disposal about three times a week. You.
Ed Larson
You got to get screens for your garbage.
Henry Zebrowski
There's things in there. No, it's in the garbage disposal. God, this is brutal. I don't even know if you want to see. Oh, yeah, Okay. I want to see how it happens. All right. You got caught in the machine.
Mint Mobile Advertiser
Whoa.
Ed Larson
Oh.
Henry Zebrowski
He didn't even see. See anything. Well, yeah. Blood everywhere.
Ed Larson
The actual. This was the. That person lived two years ago? No, this was this lady.
Henry Zebrowski
It went right into.
Ed Larson
Oh, Jesus.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, that's.
Ed Larson
I hate to be morbid, but can I See that again?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, dude. It went right into her chest. Oh, that's. Oh, that's how he died. Yeah, that's how he died.
Ed Larson
Cleaning it.
Henry Zebrowski
Something like this. It's something like this. She got caught in the thing. This lady turned it on. She turned it on.
Ed Larson
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And it just picked. Oh, that's. Yeah, she's.
Henry Zebrowski
She's dead immediately.
Ed Larson
Dead immediately. That's just a rag doll.
Henry Zebrowski
At least it happened fast.
Ed Larson
Oh, my God. No. Oh, God.
Henry Zebrowski
Does that lady get arrested or does that lady just get fired?
Ed Larson
I just get fired. I, I. You can't arrest them. The rest of their life is haunted. Oh, my God.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't know if that. That. Yeah. God. Holy. That's horrific.
Ed Larson
That is horrific. Do not show that. Do not make a clip of that. Saying it now.
Henry Zebrowski
No, it's for Netflix. It's for Netflix.
Ed Larson
Netflix doesn't have Live Dead.
Henry Zebrowski
This won't be on Netflix. Can we not show it on Netflix?
Ed Larson
I'm pretty sure we shouldn't start off showing some person dying in a PR machine.
Henry Zebrowski
Let's test him. Let's test them wheels.
Marcus Parks
Come on.
Henry Zebrowski
Let's push that. Side Stories comes to Netflix. Like, next week.
Ed Larson
Is our last one.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Oh, good.
Ed Larson
Last one.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, then we should probably end it. We should probably end it. I think that we made it.
Ed Larson
Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
We made it all the way to here. One listener email I wanted to get to. Want to hit that stinger?
Ed Larson
Go for it.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Here you go.
Ed Larson
Are you ready, Eddie? Yeah. Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, you already, Henri?
Ed Larson
Yeah. Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Sure. Now it's time for legendary mail. Oh, I like that one. I like that one.
Ed Larson
Good.
Henry Zebrowski
That's really good. I like that one a lot.
Ed Larson
They took some time with that.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I like that. Call in response. All right, here we go. You know, I like to. I'm, I'm transparent, and people got issues with me.
Ed Larson
That's because you can't tan.
Henry Zebrowski
I'm pretty big, but I'm transparent. You guys have issues with me. I take it. Right on the chin. I'm not a about it, and I take it. So I, I delivered some. I actually feel truly well warranted criticism of the Toyota RAV4. And I will still, because I own Owned one. I owned one. I had one. You.
Ed Larson
You had that. And we have a crv.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
So we know these.
Henry Zebrowski
We know. We know. But I'll take this criticism.
Mint Mobile Advertiser
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
Okay. I have never emailed in before, but some of the inflammatory comments made on this week's side Stories episode were far too much for me, a longtime listener, to sit idly by and Let happen. A RAV4 is a far superior automobile than a CR V in every way and is certainly not not a CRV. If anything, the CRV is a RAV4.
Ed Larson
Unbelievable. Come on.
Henry Zebrowski
The RAV4 is true full time four wheel drive and the CRV has a passive all wheel, four drive, all wheel drive system that only sends 20% of the power to the real rear wheels. What is anyone supposed to do with 20% rear wheel power? Get the kids to soccer Practice? Groceries? The RAV4 is a car for true adventurers, notes the not. Don't ever rob a grave with a hybrid. Only like 10% of Rav fours on the road are hybrids. They're bad. The hybrids are bad all right. They're not good. Most are extremely reliable V6 engines. I have one with almost 500k miles that has taken me and my family across the country multiple times over. Good for you. Take a plane.
Ed Larson
Take a plane next time.
Henry Zebrowski
Truly hope that Henry and Eddie could do better going forward as education is the key cure to ignorance. I will continue to enjoy the high quality content in the last podcast. And Left has always put out with the hopes that there can be corrections or at least understanding going forward.
Ed Larson
I understand that you drive a RAV Snore.
Henry Zebrowski
I am. See, this is all. I allowed you to have a platform. That's what I did.
Ed Larson
Yeah, you. You told.
Henry Zebrowski
I allowed you to have a platform.
Ed Larson
I think it was tongue in cheek. Right.
Henry Zebrowski
But I will say, I don't know.
Ed Larson
Do you really upset?
Henry Zebrowski
I hope they are.
Ed Larson
Imagine if they were.
Henry Zebrowski
If they were though. People get upset about far more ridiculous things. Things, Eddie.
Ed Larson
It is kind of fun. I actually like it when people get really mad.
Henry Zebrowski
Me too. You know I do. You're allowed to have. You're allowed to have that RAV4. But yeah, get something else. Ravenous. Oh God. There's so many things here that we just. We're going to save because we have things for the series.
Ed Larson
Yeah, we have to.
Henry Zebrowski
We got a. We got two series coming up that we're going to save these emails for them. Yes.

A KFC tale in the pursuit of flavor, the Colonel despised the word empty. Empty plates, empty tables, empty stomachs. That's why he made the KFC$5 bowls. Like the famous bowl, creamy mashed potatoes, crispy chicken, corn gravy and cheese. Because the only empty the Colonel liked was when you reached the bottom of that bowl. The Colonel lived so we could chicken five KFC bowls for just $5 each. Prices and participation may vary. Taxes, tips and fees, extra.

Podcast Network: The Last Podcast Network
This episode of Side Stories is a rollicking journey through darkly comic news, eccentric crimes, and personal reflections—anchored by the bizarre saga of "The Piggyback Bandit," a notorious serial offender who quests for piggyback rides from high school athletes. The crew also celebrates major show news, discusses grave robbing, the ethics of medical oddity collections, weaponized sound, and two truly grisly workplace mishaps.
The spirited episode is classic LPOTL: equal parts macabre, anarchic, and deeply human, while diving headfirst into the absurd and messed-up corners of current events and listener stories.
Discussion:
On Netflix’s New Podcast Push: The hosts express pride in joining as an independent show.

“Side Stories: The Piggyback Bandit” exemplifies the Last Podcast’s approach: confronting the weird, the tragic, and the hilarious head-on. After major show news (their Netflix deal), the hosts gleefully explore the world’s oddities—from a long-running serial piggyback predator to musings on body ownership, protest tactics, and the perils of kitchen machinery—with wit, skepticism, and signature gallows humor.
For new and returning listeners:
This episode encapsulates the best of Side Stories' format: updates on the show, odd news, deep dives into freakish anecdotes, and the freewheeling banter that defines LPOTL.
