Starting point is 00:00:00 In a matter of the people of the state of California versus Orenthal James Simpson, case number B.A.019. And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. Taylor, we're here, and we should do an intro because you have some crazy stuff to tell me. Oh, my God. I have a crazy fucking story to tell you. Welcome to Doom to Fail. we're the podcast that brings you
Starting point is 00:00:28 to history's most notorious disasters and epic failures twice a week every week I am Taylor joined as always by Fars
Starting point is 00:00:36 and oh my goodness so Fars you're in Texas it's true this is not it's just whatever I'm in Joshua Tree
Starting point is 00:00:46 did you see the news of what happened here this weekend no okay we had a wild fucking going into the weekend so Friday
Starting point is 00:00:54 it rains it's not like part of the story but like torrential downpours and I do the thing that I do like the California thing where I stand outside and stare at it and I'm like what is this I love it yeah I'm like is it is it is there water coming from the sky like it's thundering and I'm like what is that noise like I've never heard thunder before Taylor my um my Twitter profile picture is a picture of me Thomas and Ryan in LA looking out the window oh yeah yeah yeah because it was raining that day you can't stop staring at it you're like, what is this?
Starting point is 00:01:27 It says, what's happening? So, anyway, the rain stopped. There were puddles. Everything was fine. So at 3.30 in the morning, my husband says, Taylor, Taylor, there's gunshots, there's gunshots. Wake up. I live in the middle of fucking nowhere. I live on the top of a hill next to a mountain.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Across, it's hard to explain, but behind my house, my house goes down and then back up another mountain. On the top of that other. mountain that I can like see from my house is a house. That house is by itself and it has the longest, steepest driveway I've ever seen that goes all the way down. And I can see that house really clearly from my house, even though it's like pretty far away. So it's 3.30 in the morning and there are like a dozen cop cars at this house across the backyard. They are looming up the big driveway. They are their sirens on. All these things are happening. Wanswheres he heard gunshots. we're just staring at it and the cop cars like keep coming keep coming we're like is someone in the
Starting point is 00:02:30 house like shooting someone like what is going on and then so we like make sure all our doors are locked make sure that our cameras are on and then in the morning here's what happened this guy they i don't know what happened i don't know why they chased him but they chased him from riverside which is like a hundred miles away yeah like so far away from me they chased him all the way from Riverside into Joshua Tree. So this person is like 20 year old dude, I don't know. I don't know if he stole a car. I don't know nothing. But he, they had a chase all the way through the mountains into Joshua Drew. He gets into this neighborhood and he goes up this driveway that I'm sure he thought was a street and then he's at a dead end. So he gets out of the car, the 3.30 in the
Starting point is 00:03:13 morning, start shooting up at the police. No one got hurt. That's what Juan heard and woke him up. And then the guy goes down and he went not in our direction. He went in the other direction and he disappeared into the neighborhood they found him 12 hours later like a couple blocks from us just walking around um I heard a rumor that he was in an Airbnb and that he had like fallen asleep and there was like a family there that didn't speak English and they're they called the police but I don't know if that's true but I do know that people had pictures of him like walking around the streets because our whole neighborhood was on lockdown and we left and they like searched our cars on the way out it was wild man I miss California
Starting point is 00:03:49 There's so many car chases here. So many car chases. I never thought there'd be one here. This isn't really a car chase place. Josh Shreys a weird. Yeah, that's that one, I mean, I would be, yeah. Yeah, I mean, when we used to live in L.A., though, like that was all the time. All the time.
Starting point is 00:04:07 All the time. All the time. You watch it on TV all the time. You stop what you're doing and watch TV and you watch the car chase. Yeah. Or the best was when the helicopters were overheading, like, all right, who is it? Who is it? Where's the floodlight pointing?
Starting point is 00:04:19 exactly those are constantly because yeah it's an hour and 13 minutes between like Riverside and where I am like yeah yeah Riverside Riverside's like that's more LA like it's not LA it's like more LA you have to go through the mountains which is
Starting point is 00:04:37 really wild sorry what was he accused of doing stealing a car I don't know there's no way he stole a car and shot at police like you don't shoot at police for no I don't know what he did no I don't know I know that he abandoned the car at the house that that's like I can see from my house because he had nowhere left to go. But I don't know if it was his car.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I have no idea. I don't know what he did and why they chased him. But he, the pictures of him walking around, he's like, he's like a very little guy. And he's just like walking around. It's like, what are you going to do? There's nowhere to go. Like you can't walk out of Joshua train. You'll die.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Yeah. In the desert. You know? So, yeah, it was wild. Everybody was very relieved when he was caught so we could move on with our day. I mean, it is, like, I've had this thought, I mean, I don't, I mean, I don't know why I'm saying this out loud, but I don't own a gun. Mostly because I have Luna and Luna is just like, I mean, anybody you sees her is like, I'm, I don't need to be here, you know? Um, but, um, but I've thought I should probably get a gun because if a situation would arise when it was like, I literally had no other choice, but to use it, I'd want to know that I have the choice, you know? And this guy apparently had a gun. he for sure had a gun I don't need a gun I'm not going to shoot my gun across like I don't know I can't do distance really far away across a mountain and possibly hit a guy when cops are next to him so here here's also the other thing that I kind of love about Texas is the concept of you know the mutual assured destruction piece where you kind of almost don't need a gun because everybody assumes you already have one you know my dad always I was talking about how in Florida there, like, you know, there's a guy he knows who's a pizza cook and he, like, he's a gun, again, his whole holster while he's cooking pizzas at a restaurant, you know, it's like, it's dangerous. I was like, you should have you're all at heat. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. That's scary though. Yeah. It was scary. I, I, I didn't, I texted my neighbor and she was like, I didn't wake up. My daughter did. But like, what are it? It's a weird thing because you're like, where are that possibly becoming from? There's like very little things around here, you know? Yeah. A few things around here.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Wow. Okay. Well, while it's up, it was wild. It was a wild Friday night, Saturday. I didn't have as eventful eventful the weekend as you did, thankfully. So good. I'm glad. Cool. Well, should we dive in? Yes. Are you emotionally and do I look very pink? I scratched myself a long time ago and then I was working on something that was kind of rusty and then it started bleeding again. But like I don't think it hit the rest, but I'm not. not sure. How would I know if I had tennis? I've been looking it up. But now I think I look very pink. I don't think you look pinker than normal, but I feel like I look brighter than normal. And I don't know if it has to do with the screens or what. It isn't about you for us. It doesn't about my possible tennis. Sorry, sorry. Of course to make everything about me. Um, okay. So Taylor, you're going to have to help me come up with
Starting point is 00:07:41 the, so I'm going to tell us a story that is very cool. Do I go first today? Oh, shit. Do you? You can go if you want to. if you're already in a role. I'm in a mood. Go. You go. I'm sorry. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I'm excited about this story because this story I can't believe that this is unknown and I've never heard of it. It's one of those. Good. Because my only, my only caveat to me going first was I was going to mention that I hope you're not doing 9-11. Okay. So now that I know you're not, continue. Then we're covered. So you're going to have to help me come up with a name for this or a title for this episode.
Starting point is 00:08:25 I don't even know what to call this. The title that I put in my outline is called The Galapagos Affair, which is actually the name of a super obscure documentary about this story that seemingly nobody's seen. I tried to watch, like, I watched a little bit of it earlier today. It's totally free on YouTube. And all the comments are like, how does nobody know about this? Like, it's really cool. So. cool you'll have to think of a name for this title because we can't use use that probably yes we
Starting point is 00:08:53 can i think i feel like i learned from last podcast you can't copyright titles i think that is just book titles boo okay continue we also none of this is monetized either so like who cares yeah so there's that continue um okay so my story today is going to cover a tropical murder mystery on a remote island named Floriana Island, which is part of the Galapagos Island chains. So this story kind of teaks out of the late 30, late 20s, mid 30s. That's kind of the time we're talking about here.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I just got the urge to raise my hand like I'm actually in a meeting with you. I have a stupid question. How do you raise you? You nailed it. Where is the Galapagos Islands? They are off the coast of Ecuador in the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic, got it.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yep. So our story, weirdly enough, kind of starts in like, re-Hitler rise in Germany. So I'm going to do like a super bullet-pointed version of this, where we're going to start in Germany in the 20s as a back, blog to kind of set the set everything up here so quick world history folks 1921 is when hitler became head of the nazi party 1923 is when he attempted to overthrow the weimar republic as part of the failed beer push haul beer hall beer hall push beer hall putz putz putz um
Starting point is 00:10:35 um yeah putz i think it's pooch you're the you're the resident german expert so I don't give for me. Pooch, P-U-T-S-E-H, Pooch. There you go ahead. 1924, he is released from prison and had written M-Komp, which was gaining traction in the German populace. And then he regained the party control and sort of rebuilding the Nazi party. 1929 was kind of the inflection point for Hitler. That was like when the Great Depression crippled Germany's economy. And one of the reasons why they were like, we'll go with anybody but what we currently have.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Hitler was like a great solution to them. So if you were a politically attuned German at this time, you kind of saw the writing on the walls, right? Like you knew where this was had. This was not going to claw itself back at this point. Our main characters for this story are two such personally attuned individuals. One, Dr. Friedrich Ritter and his partner, lover, girlfriend, whatever you want to call her, dory stoch
Starting point is 00:11:41 they were Germans who saw the direction the world was going in and decided that they didn't want to be a part of it and they wanted to kind of pursue more of a Robinson Crusoe lifestyle thinking that that would kind of be the way to get away from what was inevitably heading their way which was obviously World War II fair seems like reasonable they were right
Starting point is 00:12:01 they were right well maybe they shouldn't have left because they're going to get murdered probably no we don't know anything yet Taylor don't ruin it But also, I don't think they were, I think they were probably correct about that's like you. Fair. So they wanted to live a self-sustaining life away from the rest of the world. And they thought to do it on this isolated, unenhabited island of Floriana. Neither of them had ever visited Floriana.
Starting point is 00:12:28 But the island was well documented by pirates, whalers, Charles Darwin, and different navies around the world that were kind of used as a waypoint. So. so funny. Well, the pirate said it was okay. Well, there's a reason for this. So if you wanted to get away from everything, this is a great place to go because it was uninhabited. It had
Starting point is 00:12:49 accessible fresh water. The climate was great and very conducive to growing plants. The environment was green. It was lush. There was a ton of wildlife around. It was wildlife that wasn't going to kill you too, which was like also a huge. So it was actually a really good spot to do this in.
Starting point is 00:13:06 So in 1920, as Hitler's rising in Germany, Friedrich and Dory, they left their home in Germany and made their way to Floriana to establish a home son on the island. They built a home, they planted vegetables, they raised chickens.
Starting point is 00:13:21 They would eventually become known to the general public, and the reason for this was that whalers and other travelers to Floriana had established kind of like a DIY post office on the island where people could just throw mail in a barrel on the north side of the island. and anybody who was passing through who was stopping there could stop
Starting point is 00:13:39 sift through the letters see what was going the direction they were going and they would just take the mail and deliver it was wild that anything got delivered it worked it actually worked really well yeah they say that and Moby Dick too they're just like you just like give letters to
Starting point is 00:13:54 every ship you can find and like hope that something gets it to your family yeah okay what else you're going to do so again this ended up working pretty well because people would stop by
Starting point is 00:14:09 they would meet the two they would give them supplies and then these actions of these people kind of stopping by as a waypoint on this island kind of turned Friedrich and Dory into like international celebrities
Starting point is 00:14:22 in 1932 motivated by the fact that the Nazis had now won 37% of the votes in the Reichstag and inspired by media reports about Dori and Friedrich the Whitmer family who was a husband and wife and their one son
Starting point is 00:14:37 decided to, you know what? We're going to uproot ourselves as well and go live on this island too with these guys. And they said to set out. Yes. Yes, it's literally the next point. I'd be mad if someone built a house in the lot next to mine. Yeah, 100%. One of the comments, so
Starting point is 00:14:54 you're right, these two groups of settlers didn't like each other, which I'm going to go into here in a second. But one of the comments I read about this whole issue was imagine sorry it was something along lines of the fact that these people
Starting point is 00:15:10 got into like a massive dispute in a fight with each other while settled on isolated island that was totally uninhabited is the most German thing in the world it sounds right it's also just like super inevitable like the fuck you can't just move there
Starting point is 00:15:27 someone already lives there so as we're kind of alluding to like the original two settlers obviously disliked that this family, the Whitmer family were setting up shop there. They basically told him, go on the other side of the island, just leave us alone, get away from us, we never want to see you.
Starting point is 00:15:44 And they agreed. They went to the other side of the island. And despite tension between the two groups, they were mostly respectful and just kept themselves and just gave each other kind of a wide, wide berth on this. How much is between them?
Starting point is 00:16:00 I don't know. yeah i don't know eventually margaret whitmer the wife gave birth to a son named ralph in a cave that they had been occupying on the island so now it's two groups and six people on island by the way they tried to get dr friedrich to help with the earth she was four months pregnant when they moved this island can you imagine juan coming to you when you're like three and a half months pregnant and being like let's give up everything and go to this island no you imagine being like why don't you have your baby in this cave first one that's one part point also like I'd be so mad also the people came with a baby and I love babies but I'd be like
Starting point is 00:16:45 no I sure your sentiment yeah I sure your sentiment yeah so they actually asked the doctor the only doctor well sure he has to help did you help he has to help no you refuse he was like just go get birth on your own yeah he was like I mean he can't have um Oh, okay. I mean, he literally left civilization and not work. No, I know that. And he showed up with a pregnant woman. I mean, I'd be really mad.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Yeah, what are you going to do? So there's a happy, there's a quiet but happy-ish tension that is going on to the island of this point. But people are mostly just getting along with what's going on until 1933. So this is four years after the original settlement, a year after the, new settlement. A third group of settlers arrived to the island. This is where things go haywire. So this is
Starting point is 00:17:40 a group of folks. It's Elisa Weirborn who arrived on the island with her two lovers, a guy named Rudolph Lorenz and Robert Philipson, along with an Ecuadorian servant named Manuel Valdeviso.
Starting point is 00:17:56 So she was the boss and she came with these three guys basically. Are they all German as well? I'm going to get into that. Does Germany own this island? Can you keep going? No, no. Germany has no, no, there's no claim to this island. Is Ecuador on the island?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Ecuador on the island now, but back then, no country laid claim or ownership of this island. Okay. Thank you. So this group really wasn't like the others. So first off, I called her Elisa We'reborn. That's actually not what she went by. She went by the name and title of Baroness Eloise, We're Born de Wagner Busquat. And she posed as Austrian nobility. She was not.
Starting point is 00:18:43 So terrible. She's the one that came with the three dudes? Yes. Okay. She would claim she came to Floriana with the ambition of developing it and building a large luxury resort. On the island, which is the exact opposite of what these people wanted. Yeah. She was described as loud, brash, disrespectful, somebody that lacked all boundaries, and just generally, just the kind of neighbor you just don't want to have around.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yeah. One thing the other settlers had done was write about their day-to-day lives and then leave them in that barrel, I mentioned to you before, the little mini DIY post office on the north end of the island. And those would get picked up and publish once they reach the mainland. That's how they became like international celebrities, basically. It's just through that what that means. Over time, the other settlers noticed that publications were being dropped off of them didn't include stories about their exploits about their lives.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Instead, the article would be about empress of Floriana Island, which was this Lisa woman that she had kind of styled herself. Oh, my God, even more mad. So she was taking their letters out destroying them and then replacing them with letters of her own saying that she's the empress of the island. So
Starting point is 00:20:05 Elise and Robert, so Robert was one of the two lovers. They would also take to regularly beating and just generally abusing Rudolph on a semi fairly consistent basis. He was like the third in the thruple. They would do this to the point
Starting point is 00:20:22 where he would run away to the Whitmer residence seeking refuge before eventually being coaxed back to the group. usually by Elisa. Until on March 27th, 1934, so a little less than a year after they arrived to the island. Robert and Elisa basically disappeared from the island. And we literally to this day have no idea what happened to them. Are they the original ones?
Starting point is 00:20:47 No. The Elisa is the part of, is the ringleader of the third group. Got it. She's like the, the Baroness. Yes, she's the Baroness. Okay. so Margaret Whitmer told people that Elisa had come to her that morning and told her that her and Robert would be catching a ship to Tahiti that day but all their possessions were still on the island no ship was going to Tahiti that day and no ships had stopped on Floriana either dory who's part of the first settler group with Friedrich she would claim that on this day she heard screaming
Starting point is 00:21:26 somewhere on the island. Incessant screaming throughout the island. The obvious question is, so where was Rudolph, the abused thruple in the group? Right after this happened, Rudolph apparently caught a ride on a small boat operated by some Norwegian fishermen, and they were headed to San Cristobel Island about 45 miles east of Floriana. The idea was, the conjecture is that Rudolph was trying to island hop his way. eventually back 600 miles over to Ecuador to catch a fly and go back home. That's the prevailing theory.
Starting point is 00:22:03 So he catches a ride with his fisherman to an island that is directly east 45 miles of Floriana. Instead, him and the fishermen are found 100 miles north of Cristobal Island on Marchini Island and a fisherman off the coast of Marchini Island
Starting point is 00:22:22 found essentially their mummified bodies. Marchini wasn't habitable because there was no fresh water sources. And so they literally died of dehydration and they just mummified after several months of being on the shoreline essentially. Wow. We don't know what happened to that servant, Manuel, that I mentioned earlier, they came over with the Baroness. But seemingly, he was nowhere to be found. It was assumed that he just caught a boat back to Ecuador because he was actually Ecuadorian and just lived his life. And nobody knows what happened to that guy.
Starting point is 00:22:55 feels like you have questions. No, I feel like good for him, even though he may be murdered them. We don't know, yeah. But they were like being really mean to him, right? So we don't probably, I mean, they were being the shit out of Rudolph, so they're probably being mean to the servant. And Rudolph was in the relationship. So. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:13 So after Elisa and Robert had disappeared and before the discovery of Rudolph's body, another mystery hit the settlers of this island. Friedrich died of food poisoning It was said that he had eaten A very badly preserved chicken Which kind of almost makes sense But for the fact that Friedrich was a lifelong vegetarian It didn't eat chicken The chicken was there for the eggs
Starting point is 00:23:41 And feathers and things like that It wasn't there for him to consume it Secondly Margaret Whitmer was there when he died with Dory so Dory and Margaret were over him when he died And she would recount that This is her recollection of the events When the moment he is life passed
Starting point is 00:24:01 The he that I'm going to refer to is Friedrich And the she is Dory This is all being reflected by Margaret So this is the quote Whenever she came near him He would make feeble movements As if to hit or kick her He looked up at Dory
Starting point is 00:24:18 His eyes gleaming with hate he wrote his last sentence quote I curse you with my dying breath end quote That's a great great last words He goes his eyes filled with a wild feverish flame Dory shrieked and drew back in horror
Starting point is 00:24:38 Then he collapsed soundlessly falling back on the pillows He was gone That's Margaret's recollection of The exact moment when he died in front of her and Dory wow so eventually dory would go back to germany and claim that rudolph killed robert and elisa and that the whitmer family helped him get rid of the bodies and also that friedrich died of food poisoning that's her story and like in some ways it's kind of plausible
Starting point is 00:25:10 because it was well known that they would beat the hell out of rudolph and rudolph would only be able to seek refuge with the whitmer family and like just go into their little cave and and they would take him in. Right. The Whitmer family would stay on the island and eventually build, you know, a Galapagos island version of a hotel. I looked it up. It's like, it's basically like, like little houses and cottages and stuff like that. People love that shit. Yeah. And so they would build that. They would cater to tourism. Margaret would claim that the story about them going to Tahiti was true. So she stuck with, hey, they left for Tahiti. We have no idea what happened. And also that
Starting point is 00:25:50 Dory killed Friedrich apparently to this day if you look on trip advisor for Floriana Island the winter family like their descendants they still like own the lodges and the they own the tourism industry on this island like they have boats they have shit like they do
Starting point is 00:26:06 all all kinds of stuff scuba diving trips all that kind of stuff with tourists here Dory would die I think it was 1945 and that's that's it like there's nobody knows nobody knows
Starting point is 00:26:18 why Rudolph ended up on this island completely out of the way of where this fisherman was supposed to be going. Nobody knows really the last whereabouts of Manuel, the man-servant. Nobody has any idea where Robert or Elisa are. Their bodies were never found. And nobody knows if Redrook was killed or died of food poisoning. She's like, they're all gone. Nobody knows.
Starting point is 00:26:46 You like the lesson here is don't be annoying. Yeah. Yeah, they would have been fine. If that woman hadn't shown up, they would have been fine. Everybody would just kind of live the quiet piece, but. Or actually, the lesson here, Taylor, is like, when you're doing cool shit, don't tell people you're doing cool shit. Yeah, that really. Somebody will always want to try and come over and try to get a piece of it and fuck it up.
Starting point is 00:27:11 That's 100%. Like, don't tell people what you're doing. People are going to try to come and be like, oh, I could just imagine her coming off that, of a boat being like oh it's so quiet here but like yelling it you know I'd be like fuck so one story that they told so this is like the this is the 1930s right modesty changes over time and the way they would describe elisa was she would be out like in the cove where ships were passing like almost naked with a whip and firing guns in the air for like the sailors to look at her she doesn't know so annoying meanwhile this woman's given birth
Starting point is 00:27:53 in a cave next to you yeah one of the the other two they had to pull their own teeth out of their mouths because they had no health care for for dentistry and built their own metal teeth that they shared the whatever it is what do you call those the fake teeth dentures they made metal dentures they had to say meanwhile this girl just like naked running around shooting guns in the air and it's like yeah that that's fun for like a night and then after like the second third fourth fifth night like I I'm trying to take care of my hands also there's another story I read that was really interesting which was um somebody had recounted that the uh Friedrich and Dory Settlers they had a donkey and what happened was that Robert let the donkey out in
Starting point is 00:28:42 the middle of the night and like kind of ushered him over to where like the Whitber family was sleeping and he like stomped their vegetation or did something like he messed some stuff up the father hinds whitmer shot the donkey in the head and killed it and it was because he was like oh it must be like feral like why is it doing this they didn't know like this guy like riled it up and did whatever like that kind of people just needed like great other people you know what I mean. Wow. Isn't that fun?
Starting point is 00:29:15 It's so fun. So the movie, the documentary that's on Netflix is called the Galapagos Affair Satan in the Garden of Eden, which is like a super fun title. And apparently a movie just came out like a year ago or like it just is finishing production or something. I don't know anything about it. I didn't even watch the trailer for that. But I think it's called Eden.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I think the movie is literally just called Eden Hall and they look for it. That's hilarious and so I see it Eden. Oh no, it says 2024 so like a little judgment. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:55 I don't even know if it's been released yet. Jew Laws in it. Oh, wait, okay. So the film is. Inna da Armist, Sydney, Sweeney. Well, that's fun. It's releasing last week.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Two weeks of him? No, it says I've premiered September Two weeks ago Yeah Yeah, I've premiered but it hasn't been released yet That's fun That's good timing
Starting point is 00:30:19 Yeah It's hilarious Yeah Yeah, it's a ball So what I gather is that this Eden film That's about to be released It is It's like a fictionalization or something
Starting point is 00:30:36 It's like a dramatization Yeah, you could make like a horror movie you know a horror movie yeah yeah like a lot of their stuff nobody knows because the only thing we know about it is what the two survivors tell us which is dory margaret and then it's the letters that were conveyed again half those to your point teller half those are probably lost have those like who even knows what happened really like all you're getting is like you're piecing together a story with like totally inaccurate and incomplete information um but it's so fun it's so fun like i can't like i i kind of want to do this i'm kind of understand how big it is
Starting point is 00:31:19 and i can't really understand it's like 15 kilometers across and i have no idea i want a kilometer is how many kilometers it's 15 kilometers 15 miles nine miles across so you could be like pretty far away from each other yeah i mean doing nine miles like i mean i've done that on hikes before but like i'm i planned for it and like you know like you're not going to do that like leisurely like nobody's leisurely taking a nine mile stroll no no um well but but yeah so very fun it had that and you look at these pictures of the island and it is
Starting point is 00:32:09 I mean it just looks like paradise. Yeah like it literally I just like there's paradise. I mean yes and also I fit there's like a lot of mosquitoes there. I do feel like you definitely need a doctor. So if you're going to do this, you should bring your friend who's a doctor. I just I think that is important.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Taylor, I don't think there could be mosquitoes there. Could there? We watched the deadliest animals. South America show like 72 deadliest animals anyway the deadliest is always
Starting point is 00:32:42 like a fucking spider or mosquito no because because the thing is mosquitoes need mammals to to survive
Starting point is 00:32:52 and what I can tell the only animals that are on the island are giant Galapagos tortoises all kinds of different marine iguanas I still think
Starting point is 00:33:03 there are mosquitoes let's see I just think you should bring a doctor if you're going to do it basically is my big thing yeah it's free mosquitoes yeah there's the mosquitoes okay well there's definitely spiders you're trying to find any reason not to move here
Starting point is 00:33:29 I just feel like it's all fun in games until you're making your own teeth yeah that seemed like an extreme move i feel like i'd rather have rotted teeth than to pull my teeth out manually no i don't i just feel like yeah man i don't know i think it's better to get it out you can have to get it out but that sucks yes it's a hard way to live in um that would be with tom hanks for you're on the island and he has to get the tooth out with the i see you know did he did he throw a rock he tied his tooth to a rock and then through the rock off a ledge, is that what happened?
Starting point is 00:34:05 No, he used an ice skate because he had an ice geek from the FedEx packages. But you have to get it out because two things are like the worst. You can't do anything. Yeah, you're right. You're right. It's two than back pain. Those are the two that kill you. But anyways, that's the, so if anybody
Starting point is 00:34:27 wants to find it, so there is a documentary. It's actually, again, I didn't watch a lot of it, I think I've seen it. Kate Blanchett is like a narrator of it. It's like a well, it seems like it must be a well-done documentary and it's on YouTube. It's totally free. And just Google on YouTube, YouTube, the Galapagos Affair.
Starting point is 00:34:50 And it'll come up. I'm turning on the, oh, that's stupid. There's a trailer, but it's like not a real trailer. It's a concept trailer. It's dumb. Who cares? already fair said Eden fun
Starting point is 00:35:06 that sounds like a fun movie I'll watch it yeah yeah that's all I got today cool what do you got um oh this is an amazing wait let me show you this image from the movie
Starting point is 00:35:22 can I share my screen with you how do that where is it chat chair screen um this picture of Anna Darmus as the Duchess as the Duchess I assume just like two guys holding her
Starting point is 00:35:35 if she gets on to the beach that is probably exactly how it was that's so funny I love it I assume the guy in white is Rudolph because if you look at the real pictures Rudolph looks like someone that is given wedgies
Starting point is 00:35:53 in real life oh even this picture Drew Law definitely has these metal teeth oh I see them all right Well, that's exciting. That'll be fun. Cool. Well, thank you. That was fun. My story that I will tell you in our next episode,
Starting point is 00:36:10 I found because what they wanted to tell you is our friend Kiara, who is a long-time listener, found a book in her little free library, like in her neighborhood that was like greatest disasters in history. And she took a picture of the table of contents and sent it to me, which was very nice and fun. Thank you. So my story that I will tell is from that table of contents.
Starting point is 00:36:30 And there's some other ones in there, too. sweet yeah um anything else before we wrap up um oh no I just I just also was reading I'm just reading this Reddit page about this movie
Starting point is 00:36:44 Eden and I just read the sentence um just that their characters pull out all of their teeth yeah I kind of left that for the end um but that was a big I think that might be worse than giving birth and I don't know I just I feel bad saying that but I think it might be worse
Starting point is 00:37:01 I don't see the metal teeth I'll take your word for it Because you like recover from Give me breath Anyway thank you everyone If you have any ideas for us If you see Eden or the Galapagos affair

Starting point is 00:37:29 And like make them look like real teeth this is another thing where you're like it's scarier it's how shiny he is everyone must have smelled so bad just do the real story it's freakier to do the real story than a lie I don't know you don't know what his teeth look like
