Starting point is 00:00:01 There's no place to escape to. This is the last hot task. On the left. That's when the cannibalism started. So boys, naive. Are you ready to come back to my world? I'm here. I'm in it.
Starting point is 00:00:26 So you, this is your world. Yeah. So you're giving up aliens for hammer maniacs. I have found a purpose. He's always been pretty enthusiastic about brutal murder. So no. Satanism anymore just straight hammer murders
Starting point is 00:00:44 that's all I like now now how do you feel about the movie you were never really there the Joaquin Phoenix Lim Ramsey taxi driver hammer movie extremely good movie it's phenomenal film great hammer movie great you know there aren't enough hammer movies there are not also you know I'd also
Starting point is 00:01:01 say kill list kill list because it's got a great hammer scene there is a lot of hammer scene and kill list do you have a preference of hammer claw mallet ballpene Unfortunately, I like an old-fashioned. Just fucking ball peeing hammer. Just normal out of an old fucking, like, that's the best thing.
Starting point is 00:01:18 If you really want to kill somebody, you know, old way. Dude, I honestly, I just type with my left hand and I swing my hammer back and forth to just get myself in the zone. But we're here. Welcome to last podcast on the left. I'm still your narrator and I'm sorry, Henry Zabrowski. And to my right, I have comedic genius Marcus Park. What's that mean? It's gibberish.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Oh. Perfect. Oh, miss Muskin. Stoyish, not Logan. And then we have race trader at Larson. Nooskin hyphen. Yeah. Very good.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Very, very good. How do you feel being the Ukrainian representation on the show? You know, it's weird how little I know about my people. It's incredible. I had no idea that you had Ukrainian blood until this episode. Look at his proud. Yeah, look at his face. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:12 No, no, I see it. 25% Polish, 25% Russia, Russia, 50 of Ukraine. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I'm in there, dude. I always thought that was a Polish head. No, it's a Ukrainian head.
Starting point is 00:02:23 It's a little Polish. Yeah, dude. They would have voided you. Because I'd tell you what, it would have been really hard to smash your head open with hammers. That's what I'm saying. I'm surprised because Ukrainians, like, historically, could take a punch. You know? Because that's why they went after women and children.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Oh, that's right. I forget. And I recently bought a tack hammer to answer your question. Very nice. I went to put up a pennant and I had a tack and the wall was too hard and I was like, I know what I'm going to do. I went to the fucking lumber store and I got a tack hammer and I went home and I hit the tack. You're an old man. You're an old fucking man.
Starting point is 00:03:00 We spent our Saturday eating stew and watching cruising. I'll save that for our other show. You know how old I am is I still buy pennants. Yeah. Yeah. What's your favorite hammer? I'm good old-fashioned claw. I love a claw, but I also love a good sledgehammer.
Starting point is 00:03:15 And this is a claw. Yeah, that's a claw hammer right there. Because of the back. Yeah. Yeah. Because there's a lot of different options with a claw hammer. With ball peen, with all this, you got one option with a claw hammer. You can bludgeon, you can rip, you can tear.
Starting point is 00:03:27 There's a lot of stuff you can do. And unfortunately, our maniacs know, unfortunately, the proper way to hit somebody multiple times with the hammer is on the side because then it doesn't get stuck. And then you don't have to jimmy it out. Interesting. That is what they discovered using a trial and error. Oh, wow. That is wild. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:47 What kind of hammer did they use? Good old fashion. That one, right there. Claw hammer. Oh, yeah, wrapped up in plastic. But let's get into it. When we last left our maniacs. When we last left our maniacs, when we last left our maniacs, they were revving up when they should have been given up.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Eight victims in 12 days. each killed in the same horrific way. Trick to the side of the road, surprised from behind, and then beaten with hammers until their faces were unrecognizable. This wave of mayhem took over Dinoprotrovsk,
Starting point is 00:04:20 leaving its citizens terrified, looking over their shoulder at every yearn. The police investigation just couldn't get started. No one wanted to link the crimes together because that would make it too serious? Serial killers do not exist in Soviet-influenced Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:04:35 The streets became empty, cafes and movie theaters abandoned the maniacs stalked DeNepro freely and we're killing like they never cared before fuck you both That's great
Starting point is 00:04:49 That's beautiful That was good Up until this point The boys They're maniacs Manias Yeah yeah yeah For sure
Starting point is 00:04:56 It's about a lonely woman Up until this point The boys had mostly filmed They mostly filmed Animal Torture and mutilation It is believed They filmed some of their robberies as well but their big hit would be a change of subject matter for their film Uvra.
Starting point is 00:05:10 This would be the first time they recorded a murder of a human being. And they were very excited. Who wouldn't be? Yeah. Now, the long-form video that the world would come to know was three guys, one hammer, is seen in an eight-minute cut on the internet. The director's cut, which played in court, the original video was over 30 minutes long and featured our maniacs,
Starting point is 00:05:31 chuckling and nervous like virgins before a high school dance. You go talk to our... literally the same energy. Yeah, same energy. It's wild to see how young they are, acting like they're about to do something fun together, like go on a jet ski, or see last podcast and left live in Pittsburgh,
Starting point is 00:05:49 May 29th of the Carnegie. That's right, man. And if you bring a hammer, you get a free braderside sticker. I promise you. I promise you, you've got to leave the hammers in a basket, but initial them,
Starting point is 00:05:58 you'll get them back. No one was supposed to see this footage. outside of the do jit and the boys it would play in the trial alongside the recording of a kitten of the kitten crucifixion if you guys remember
Starting point is 00:06:16 yeah you guys said the kitten crucifix rather than a kitten crucifix you know what it's the thing about the kitten crucifixion it's like you would think it'd be cuter you know but it really it just wasn't I'd much rather watch a real crucifixion I wish they had a Pontius puglet
Starting point is 00:06:33 you know with a little Roman, like little Romans, like a little thing on there. Crucify him. It's better for the, you know, the pond, but if we're getting judgey dogs, it's going to be a corgi. You should have a corgi as the judge. And punches piglet.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Save it. Save it. This is our children's butt. You know, ambulances were actually parked outside of the court while this footage was shown because so many people, this is true, were feigning and vomiting after seeing it. Three guys, one hammer, would be named by the uploader
Starting point is 00:07:07 was filmed on July 12th, 2007. And it centers on the murder of 48-year-old Sergey Yatsenko. Now, we're going to go into the detail of this contents verbally. But I'm not going to show any of the video, and honestly, it's hard because it's not really just because of taste.
Starting point is 00:07:23 It's because apparently Chris Delia bought the rights to show young ladies on Snapchat where things are never deleted. Remember. Now, I'm going to, we are going to go by, we're doing this beat for beat. Yeah. So we have here, we have our cast, Marcus Parks.
Starting point is 00:07:41 He will be playing Igor Sapunuk and Victor Seyenko will be played by Ed Larson. Yes. So you're going to read the lines. I'm going to read the stage directions. We're going to go through the entire video so that you don't have to watch it. In the first part of the video, Igor and Victor
Starting point is 00:07:59 planned what they will do to their victim. It's the first 20 minutes of the 30 minute video. They had parked the DeWu in the side of the road waiting for the right victim. Victor balances the phone on top of the car to get a wide shot of the street. Igor says,
Starting point is 00:08:16 We will stop a car that comes by and if it's a big, strong guy that comes out, we tell him, no problem. As in move on. But if a little one comes up, we tell him, welcome. With this! And then he pulls the yellow hammer
Starting point is 00:08:29 out of a plastic shopping bag. Igor plays it up for the camera. He hid the camera behind his back and then exclaimed He did, he's like Ren. At one point after they've been waiting for a few minutes, Victor says That this rate will be waiting all week. They also talk about hoping the person has a cell phone, but not one so nice that they won't be able to sell it quickly.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Victor jokes about how difficult doing the killing while filming with one hand is going to be. They decide that if it's a one man and one woman who pass by first, they'll do it. but if it's two men, they'll have to see how they look. Igor yawns and struts around, bored. While they're waiting, they also talk about the blood stains the other victims left on their day wound. Igor says they are like, peaks, staining the car with their blood.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Eventually, Sergei Yotsenko peddles towards the maniacs. This man is a survivor. He had already escaped as his van actually crashed in a lake, and he escaped from the lake on his own. He barely survived, and then he just got out of remission from, throat cancer. He's still on his, had his surgery bandages on, from the cancer surgery. So he got
Starting point is 00:09:39 cancer surgery, got to his car to drive home. Bike. No, no, no, before that. The lake was before that. I thought this was like just the worst possible. One day. Anyone could ever have. Yeah, it was that? I got to, I get into lake, then I have throat cancer.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I find out, if they cut it out, I go home on bike, and then do maniac kill me. Yeah, that's what happens. In Russia, The hospice is 12 hours long. So Igor says, Someone on the bicycle is coming. When Victor asks what the guy looks like, Igor responds, he's normal.
Starting point is 00:10:16 As they wait for Sergei to approach, Victor Joke said, You'll take at least an hour and a half to get here. Come on. Then right before the attack, Igor says, If he's strong, help me kill him. To which Victor responds. Of course, of course.
Starting point is 00:10:31 And finally, Victor, exclaims in excitement. What the video we will capture, not just pictures. We will be like Eisenstein or Tarkovsky. Cinema! Cinema! We were just watching Tarkovsky, and it's funny just how serious just the production still is. Like, just the logo is so serious?
Starting point is 00:10:51 They throw a lot of pipes in that. They do. Now, Sergei rides past. Igor swings the hammer, still in the yellow plastic bag, and knocks him off his bike. the boys giddy as schoolgirls run over to the injured man now on the ground groaning. Then Igor hits him in the head with the hammer. Victor runs over with the phone camera and hand at Igor's urging as he says. Get the shot. Get the shot.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Still laughing. They drag Sergei off the road into the woods. They smack him with the hammer again. And Sergei seems to be trying to yell or speak. But addition to being bludgeoned in the face and head, his voice hadn't recovered from his recent throat surgery. Igor tells Victor Quiet, quiet As he struggles not to laugh
Starting point is 00:11:34 Listen to his skircling They then bring the camera closer to the struggling Sergei as they hold for silence For a full minute As his muted groans filled the speakers They laugh in his face as he mutely cries out Then Victor uses a screwdriver To remove Sergei's eyeballs
Starting point is 00:11:52 Until we see the pink brain matter That is exposed to the air He stabbed Sergei over and over again in the belly with the same screwdriver. Igor says, Vitya, we must take a picture with him as a memory. Vitya's a cute little nickname for Victor. He then says,
Starting point is 00:12:10 this time was awesome. Yeah. I don't understand how he stayed alive. I had a screwdriver like this and I stabbed. He demonstrates how he had held the weapon. I could feel his brain. Sergei survived for a full eight minutes. The camera moves inches.
Starting point is 00:12:29 away from Sergei, his face now a puddle of bone and blood. Igor taunts him one last time, asking, What a fucking day for you, huh? They finally washed the weapon in their hands with a bottle of water. Victor appears panicked at this point, urging Igor to leave immediately.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Igor says no. They must get the picture first. This is where we last see them with Sergey, standing over his corpse, Zig Heiling. Was the Sieghaled too much? I don't want to put the hat on a hat. No, no, wait a day do I put the hat on into MS.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Oh, so we fix in post? Yeah. We fix him post. Yeah. Technically, Rushad is more hammer. You know, it was on the old flag. I don't know. Look, this is a different shoe.
Starting point is 00:13:11 So, hold on. Was Sergei dead when they left him? Or was he just still, like, dying? He was completely dead by the time that they were done. So by the time the video's over, you, like, see him die. You see him die. You see him die on camera. Yeah, it is a full murder beginning to end.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Yeah. And both of you have seen this. I've seen the, I remember first, it when it first came out, like 2008, and then I don't, now, I've only seen stills since. Yeah, I think I saw it in 2011. I remember watching it when in the closet at the creek. Yeah. The first, yeah, the, or the second place we recorded.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah, the tiny low closet. I remember watching it. Oh, you're emerging, by the way. The room that you had panic attacks in. Yeah. I wonder why. The room had panic attacks in. But that had more to do with just impending claustrophobia from spending 10 to 12 hours a day
Starting point is 00:13:56 in a closet. Yeah. And with many other people in there, three, sometimes four other people in there at a time. Breathing, so loud, breathing, so hot. Yeah. So drunk. So fat. So high.
Starting point is 00:14:09 So they filmed this. So we don't know if they filmed every murder. But we know that it only took two days after shooting the video for them to murder again. July 14th. They knocked 45-year-old Natalia Marmachukov for scooter. Dragged her into the woods, beat her to death. But they were getting very cavalier with their crimes. The murders were now just being openly done all day.
Starting point is 00:14:31 This particular murder had several witnesses. A bunch of street boys, as they were described, were hiding in a rickety fort of old construction pallets and saw the entire attack. Obviously, once they were done singing about moving to Santa Fe, they gave a description to police which matched the one young badim gave under duress at the police department. All right, so is it always hammers and screwdrivers? He's always hammers and screwdrivers. No tire irons.
Starting point is 00:14:57 They don't change it up at all. Pipes. Some sand-filled pipes as well. Damn. That's the other one. Sandfield pipes is fucking scary. Yes, it's Russian. It's how they killed the kids that were going out fishing at three in the morning.
Starting point is 00:15:09 They knocked them off the bikes. They just knock them off the bikes. They really like the simplicity of it. And they like the brutality of it. And they like something they can get from the store. Yeah. Something they don't have to ask somebody to get, which is why they didn't get a gun. It's exactly why I used to huff computer cleaner instead of drinking.
Starting point is 00:15:24 It was too young. See? could buy the computer clean. Yeah, that's legal. That's legal to do. But you're walking on sunshine. I mean, I understand. I'm walking on sunshine.
Starting point is 00:15:33 No, I mean, we're here. We're talking about this. Did they also use the back of the hammer? Yeah, that was in the, originally that was the problem was that they said it took too long for them to pull it out. You get stuck pretty easily. Yeah. Cool.
Starting point is 00:15:45 So they're trying to make it go fast. See, by this point, the entire city of Denepro is paralyzed. Streets are empty. Taurus left the industrial city center. kids were being kept home from school. And still, total silence from the police. The retorce? Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:16:03 Right? I don't know. We'll get to that later. We'll get to later. The first mention of the Hammer Maniacs and Ukrainian news would be June 24th after the three of them were already arrested. This is where all the details began to break down due to the sheer amount of murders.
Starting point is 00:16:19 It seems the local media couldn't keep up and began to lump the murders together even as the each intervention. murder escalated in violence. From June 14th to the 16th, two people were found a day. Same MO, knocked off a bike, picked off a path, beaten, stabbed multiple times. The victims followed the same pattern, vulnerable, weaker people. This one, however, we're starting to see an edge up.
Starting point is 00:16:45 One of the victims was eight months pregnant. When she was found, her face was unrecognizable as all the others. but at this very peak of their fucking total depravity, they remove the fetus from her belly and smash that with hammers as well. Then to me, that's what they should be known for. Yes. They should be like the fetus smasers. Like that's not the hammer maniac.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Well, they didn't film those. They didn't film them. And they didn't get. I mean, yeah, they should technically be the baby Tartar murder. I think, yeah, two more of those they probably would have been. And I just the one. And I think that was the issue for them, really, was that they didn't want to be the baby Tartar murder. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It's like every time, like, I think, like, I've set my mind on there should be no death penalty. I learn about people like this. Hey, man. And that's the worst part, too, is that they're 19, right? They're fucking, they're evil. They're young. You're young and they're evil. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I actually looked up what the fetish smasers would be in Russian. It's actually kind of a cute little name. What does it mean? So Scritiali Ploda. Oh, that is cute. That should be a cartoon. Jacques Coustele prola. Oh, we are the fetish matchers.
Starting point is 00:17:46 It's just like two little cute, like abortionists with pink hammers. fly from your blade. In mid-July, a funeral service was held for 13-year-old Andre, one of our younger victims, from episode one. Young Vadim, the first to identify the pair to the police after days of beatings, was not ready to go to the funeral, so he stayed home. Luckily or unluckily for him, the Hammer Maniacs also attended. This would become another category in their photography portfolio. They attended the funeral, waited until the congregants left, and then took posed photographs with the casket. Afterwards, Igor would use MS. Paint to add Hitler moustaches to Victor in his face.
Starting point is 00:18:28 They attended several victims' funerals and always did a little photo shoot afterwards, given the graves the middle finger and the traditional suck at X. Oh, like DX, like, yeah, yeah. They didn't even have the common decency to nail the coffin shut. Right? You know, they're like, hey, what's what they're good for? What's the good for? Hey, you know. No, again, they don't build lasting legacies.
Starting point is 00:18:51 After a truly horrendous run, leaving 21 people dead, Igor and Victor entered into a traditional cool-down phase, probably. They noticeably stopped. Word had started to spread. Denepro's only so big. How long could they hide if they stayed in town? Sure. By now, every police officer in Denepro was on the case.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Petra Ochovar, head of the Investigator Department of the Denipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, even admitted their investigation had massive problems. Obviously. Yes. Many of the original attacks and robberies
Starting point is 00:19:25 were never even reported to higher-ups. They were considered one-and-done crimes. They didn't do anything about it, but at least they admitted it. And there was several, like, disciplinary hearings. Yeah. My bad. Literally like, oh.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I mean, well, they probably have never fucking worked before these cops in a small-ass town like this. Well, it is, again, it's all about that this is the middle period in which everything that was Russian about Ukraine is still trying to become Ukrainian. And it is very difficult for them to get rid of the old world police attitudes. Yeah. And all of these ideas that they just were, they kind of were expected to run the place on the own.
Starting point is 00:20:05 And they had descriptions of them. Yes. But they had, you would have to first take the children witnesses seriously. which is, again, they were not wanted to do. I mean, it's not that small. It's the fourth largest city in Ukraine. I guess it is pretty fucking. I know nothing about the Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:20:20 It would be, I mean, it's not that. I mean, it's around the, according to Wikipedia, the 2022 estimate, it was a little under a million people. Wow. Yeah, wow. That's a huge city. You know what I'm wrong. It's the size of like Austin.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yeah. Or maybe, yeah, about the size of Austin. But it doesn't matter because the heat was starting to turn up. Igor and Victor would regularly pawn the goods they stole. This would be no different. See, the key was to rob people with brick phones. Nothing too new. They decided against their better judgment and tried to sell a newer one for $20 USD.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Once activated, the Sim Ping, the phone company, the police located a device. The pair were arrested as they walked out the door. Done. It was immediately they went to go one cell phone. Literally by the time they left, they were arrested. They then went to Alexander Hansa's house. and arrested him there almost simultaneously. And Alexander was the kid that...
Starting point is 00:21:15 That wasn't a part of the murders. Yeah. He had just robbed a couple of people and decided, I'm out. And he was also the poorer one, too. Yes, and he was included in the shots, like in the mugshots of the maniacs. And he probably knew they were doing it. Well, there were other... Yes, there's been other factors probably to the arrest, but we're not quite certain.
Starting point is 00:21:34 The cashier could have probably recognized them from wanted posters and have called the police discreetly that is possible. We don't know though. It is possible. They were saying this is one of those more interesting nebulous things is that they were ratted out by an acquaintance that was scouted by them to be a potential new third maniac like ship. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:57 They were going to have another guy in there. Wow. And there was a guy that they might have been courting that then went and told the police. Okay. So you're saying that Igor and Victor, that's Larry and Moe and Alexander is like curly. Yeah, and then he laughed. He laughed.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And then they tried getting a chef, and then Shep told. Try too much. Chef boy. Shep, you like hammer. And he says like, you hate face. Honestly, mostly what I do.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I like the paintbrush. I like to make a pretty painting of a flower. That will not work with that. I make a pretty painting. A Michael Proto Pinding. You know, they say, there's a million ways to skin a cat.
Starting point is 00:22:36 These guys know. I thought it was a thousand. Well, they invented like a number. A bunch of them. I thought it was 100. Well, yeah. Igor and Victor would be arrested on July 23rd, and the Denipropitrov's
Starting point is 00:22:47 camera maniac murder spree would come to an end. Investigators dispatched their homes to search for evidence. Igor and Victor's parents were not exactly cooperative with authorities. Victor's parents kept the police outside the home for 40 minutes
Starting point is 00:23:00 as sounds of septic pipes flushing could be heard in the neighbor's living room. The next day, plumbers took apart the pipes inside the complex to find a watch and three cell phones belonging to victims of the hammer maniacs. Who is it? I hear you.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I don't know. Oh, God. I'm no dress. I'm the proper. Make a flush. Make a flush. Oh, no. Now I have to take feces dump.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I have much borsed for lunch today. Listen, I cannot argue. I also had borsed for lunch. And currently, I am fighting much diarrhea. Fighting and fighting diarrhea with all of the strength of passion inside of life. But you grill Ukrainian Fythi Aryan winds. If Ukrainian toilets weren't so clogged,
Starting point is 00:23:44 they would have never found this evidence. Right. So these two cross-eyed trolls, they were awful at being elite soldiers of the Aryan race, laughable considering the Nazis killed hundreds of thousands of their countrymen. I mean, to be fair,
Starting point is 00:24:01 they helped. For freelance maniacs, they did good. Like, 21 is pretty good. It's a pretty high number. But we learned, remember from the Foxcatcher series, Like, if you have the support of the state, you can accomplish anything. Honestly, that's why I, we need those art programs back. So according to detectives, while searching for clues in Igor's and Victor's rooms,
Starting point is 00:24:21 it looked as if no attempt was made at all for covering for their many crimes. In both Igor and Victor's closets, every single item had bloodstains. Every shirt, every jacket, every pair of sneakers was splashed with fat drops. of crusty red and brown sluice. Mostly brown. Blood drives brown. Also among the maniac's personal belongings, they found a bloody earring ripped from the lobe of one of the victims
Starting point is 00:24:49 and several computer hard drives containing their self-made memorabilia. Igor collected newspaper clippings about the killings in a scrapbook. Think about a 19-year-old keeping a scrapbook. He followed his own story obsessively. Several murders would only get linked to the pair because Igor saved the specific article about a random dead body. Otherwise, police would have no idea. In the report, detectives noted,
Starting point is 00:25:15 Igor's dog-eared copy of Mine Kampf at the side of the bed. Dog-eared, so he saved certain passages to read again? Yeah, it's been like, ah, yeah, oh, this is a good one. My struggle! It must have fucking reeked in there.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Oh, yeah, yeah, full com. Well, that's the... Well, that's the question that I have, is that, you know, they say that Victor's parents wouldn't let them in. Yeah. Because, you know, they were flushing evidence. So did their parents just know that they were killing people?
Starting point is 00:25:45 And they just sort of, you know, we'll deal with it later. They had opened animal skeletons in the house, right? Her parents, the way they, the parents seem to really view that they are doing the harmless boy thing of mutilating many, many animals. Sure. That is what they're saying is that it's, this is how could this be a crime? They are just boys. Yes, they have systematically, like, tortured these animals, but they are, they viewed them as like, oh, you know, it's this country boy, do country thing. And so they were begging off entirely saying that there's no way that they ever could have done.
Starting point is 00:26:22 It's also like, they were busy. They were, they both were professionals, both of them, both of their parents work. They were not around. They also were just, they just kind of, by that point, they were in 19. Yeah. But even so, it seems like there's, like, Richard Chase's apartment is like inside. somebody's home. And how are you going to miss that? It's because they were, they didn't want it to be true. Yeah. Also, as someone with a Ukrainian mother, she would have done anything to keep me out of jail.
Starting point is 00:26:49 No matter what my crimes were. You're funny enough. It's true because that it will come up. That's going to come up. They refuse to believe that they were guilty. Once at the police station, Igor and Victor quickly confessed to at least 19 killings. Victor tried to soften his involvement, stating he only did it for the money. Ego, on the other hand, he enjoyed his newfound spotlight. When asked by detectives how he felt after murdering almost two dozen innocent people, he responded, What do you feel when you cut a sausage? Excitement. Oh, do you feel good? Yeah, I feel good.
Starting point is 00:27:22 I feel good, too. I like cutting sausage. I cut sausage all day. Oh, well, I think you mean something else. I cut sausages. Oh, man, when they're on the grill and they get all fat and you cut it and the juice squirts out. Yes, I love a toddler. Yeah, I love a toddler.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Now I can see your Ukrainian. And when I see the joy in your eye when you talk about sausage juice That's so good. We're going to Indianapolis Only trying to get sausages. Igor was quite excited about the details Explaining step-by-step the murder of Sergey Yotsenko.
Starting point is 00:27:50 When asked by interrogators, why did he film this? He simply stated To remember. In their first initial hearing, the boys jeered at the live human audience. They were held in a cage in court like a traveling oddity.
Starting point is 00:28:05 But we know that's how they it in Eastern Europe. I did it with Andre Chiquotillo. It's kind of fun. Yeah. I want that. I want it. Yeah, the cage in the courtroom.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It's pretty great. Alexander was the only one visibly beaten by police, even though he was the only one of them to not murder a human being. We know why. They didn't even, like, beat them for fun even? No. No, because they were very connected. Yeah. That's crazy to me.
Starting point is 00:28:27 So Alexander got all of the anger. All of it. They beat the living shirt out of him. Because they were beaten a confession out of him that he didn't, and he actually, he held strong in a weird way. He gave up the other two. They were given a psych evaluation, and they were proven as fit to stand trial. That didn't stop Igor's lawyer from mounting an insanity plea defense for his client. Victor's lawyer would also follow suit,
Starting point is 00:28:49 stating Igor got pleasure from the murders and admitted to the investigators that if the police had not taken him away, he would have continued to commit atrocities. Igor forced Victor to film videos. Victor was afraid of becoming a victim of the hammer maniac himself. That's always the fucking defense when there's two people. One person, all the same thing with... Ken and Barbie killers? Yeah, all I could think of was Ken and Barbie killers.
Starting point is 00:29:16 But yeah, it's... Yeah, that's always. And the pretrial hearings... I've got, but be scared of guy on bars and snush. In the pretrial hearings, the boys acted like conquering heroes. They were proud of their exploits. Igor explained it all for detectives. By killing first cats and dogs, and then people.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Oh, we overcome our fear of death. Apparently, they don't even do enough towards their own homicidal goals. Igor lamented detectives that only they had a gun, they could kill for real. And beat Chickatillo's record. Igor and Victor. I'm sorry to do this. I don't want to get to. Who's Chichotillo?
Starting point is 00:29:54 Ah, Andre Chichotillo. The Red Ripper. The most infamous zero killer in Russian history. Really? Yeah, that's, um, you didn't read the book that we wrote. This whole chapter on it. No. illiterate piece of shit
Starting point is 00:30:07 I read the one chapter you told me I had to read for the thing that we did no Andre Ticotillo is a truly one of the worst of the worst killed children
Starting point is 00:30:21 he couldn't come unless they were screaming and dying so he became once he realized that he just would he would murder to come and then one of the worst things
Starting point is 00:30:31 he did was he cut that little girl open and he chewed on her uterus he said it was like chew and gum yeah he liked He really liked... You don't like that? He really liked eating people, just chewing on the body parts of his victims killed.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Somewhere on, I think it was 52, 53 that we know of. Yeah, he was the worst. Oh, God. His name sounds like a menu item coming back to Taco Bell. The Andre Chickatillo, now available. After midnight, a Taco Bell bong. Ding. Oh, now with beats?
Starting point is 00:31:05 Igor and Victor They had created a fake mythology Out of old racist ideas Played out on the internet Like a game of telephone They must have researched The Icelandic parts of the Himmler Silmarillion These shitheads
Starting point is 00:31:18 Why are you bringing Iceland into this? We got to because Remember Himmler stole the Iceland's past In order to rebuild the white people Who were from the mountains And created everything fast The poetic edda Yes, CCCC
Starting point is 00:31:29 A beautiful, beautiful piece of literature It is that was fucking corrupted By the Nazis, right? The shitheads said they were building an army for heaven. The more people you killed, the more souls would be bound to you in the afterlife. All of this to say, they were teenage morons making up shit to sound cool. Yeah. Once the trial began, however, the tune changed. Igor and Victor begged off. They claimed their confessions were tortured out of them, even though Alexander was the only one showing any signs of physical violence.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Their parents, with access to good lawyers, attempted to prove that all the videos were faked, that it was a Russian disinfo scheme. Igor's father went as far to harass witnesses to not testify. Victor's parents will claim until this day that the videos were a Byzantine machination of Russian and U.S. special ops using CGI that hadn't been invented yet. Lock them up too.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Hey man, who cares? The prosecution's evidence was much stronger. They had many eyewitnesses, all of the trophies they found in Igor and Victor's home belonging to victims and lots of DNA evidence, but obviously the most damning. was the video footage. The evidence that the prosecution had
Starting point is 00:32:38 was evidence. It's so overwhelming that it's not even worth mention. It's just one of those where I just wanted to say like, they put up like a defense and then it's just like, and then it was like,
Starting point is 00:32:47 here's all the stuff that you did. You know, like, here's what you did. Prosecutors showed several film crimes in court, the director's cut of three guys want a hammer, the kitten crucifixion video, and another attack with a survivor.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Her name was Lydia Maryshenkeva. She got to watch herself get her own teeth kicked in several times, while attending court that day. There were at least four other videos shown. Whoever leaked three guys at one hammer must have had access to court records. We're going to get to it.
Starting point is 00:33:13 It didn't hit the internet until 2008, way a year after they were convicted. Or months after they were convicted. The maniac's defense fell short. The judge in the case responded, do you think the blinder judging you? We have already seen enough of you from the front and the back and the profile. It took two days to read the 150-page-long verdict. Alexander Hansa would get nine years for his participation in the armed robberies, but nothing for the murders.
Starting point is 00:33:39 It's surprisingly fair for an Eastern European court. They literally, this was a good move, and most everyone believed in this. They were all happy about the fact that he only got nine years, even though he was a part of it. From what I understand, I could be wrong, it seemed like Alexander also agreed with it. Yes, he was like, because he felt really bad. He was a part of the case against the other two. Yeah. That's how it worked.
Starting point is 00:34:00 And then Igor and Victor get the book thrown at them, as they should have. They were declared guilty on all counts and were sentenced to life in prison, where they are still today. Unfortunately, their reputation would outgrow their input into this life. They became internet famous after the court footage was leaked and went viral. Millions of views on hundreds of websites featured three guys, Onehammer. Black-pilled urchins from Denepro would brag about the proximity and access to the maniacs like an in-cell badge of honor. In 2011, Russian teenagers Art The Yumaul will only. Nufrev and Nikita Littgen would be directly inspired to murder strangers with hammers themselves.
Starting point is 00:34:40 The press would dub them the Academy Maniacs, and the murders happened in Urquutz, a Russian city this time. Very similar run-up. Two shithead kids get wrapped up in neo-Nazi ideology. The Academy Maniacs wouldn't as far to actually join a legit white power organization with the clever name. Get this, white power. Whoa. Hide it plain sight. You, that's the idea.
Starting point is 00:35:03 It's called the white power. What is this about? White power. Chickasin. They were obsessed with becoming like their favorite serial killers. First, it was the chessboard killer, Alexander Pushnikina, right? A Russian serial killer. We have to do a whole thing on him.
Starting point is 00:35:20 He's very famous. There have been many Russian serial killers that are discovered when we were writing the book. But Andre Chicken Killer. I love to you. You're like surprised I didn't read a book. You've known me for almost 20 years. I've read less books than those years. The two idiots would form a fan club called Puchiskeena for president.
Starting point is 00:35:49 When three guys, one hammer hit the internet, they saw how they could enter the history books like their idol Andre Chichotillo. They beat a 12-year-old boy riding by on a hiking trail to death with mallets. No homicide investigation was necessary since police took. determined it was a snow scooter accident. The failure on behalf of the police made the little fuckers feel invincible. They mimic the hammer maniacs attacks for several more weeks before they were caught. In total, six people would be murdered, nine injured.
Starting point is 00:36:16 They formed a band called the evil dwarves. Did you listen to it? I did not listen to the evil dwarers, but I'm well familiar with their biggest influence, anal cunt. Yes, and anal cunt seems to be, I looked up anal cunt and there seemed to be nice men. Right? Is anal bad? Well, anal cut was a joke.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Well, it started off as a joke. They wanted to do the, they wanted to have the most offensive band name ever. That's not it. It's got to be worse than that. Yeah, and also, G.G. Allen ripped off anal cunt because a lot of people said, oh, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:48 it's based on a G.G. Allen's not, no, G. G.G. Allen ripped off anal cunt. And to be fair, the first two anal cult records, they're called Everyone Should Be Killed, and I like it when you die. Yeah, sure. But it's obvious it's a joke. It's ironic. It's obvious.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Napalm death. Canable Corpse. Yeah, but like, listen to some of the song titles from Everyone Should Be Killed. You're gay. Technology's gay. Well, that's a different album. But the first, that's the second album. The second album is always the worst. Yeah, because the second album, they decided they were from New Jersey, and it's like they wanted to do things like, it's gay, everything's gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, but the first album is like you got some songs, some more songs, even more songs. Song titles are fucking stupid.
Starting point is 00:37:27 having to make up song title sucks and of course a cover of EMF's unbelievable amongst 52 other tracks on the album every anal-cunt song is less than a minute long most of them are like you know 30 to 40 seconds crying cord really fast it's supposed to be funny I would also say straight up their band is bad no evil dwarves is bad
Starting point is 00:37:48 anal-cunt has some charm to it yeah anal-cunt has a lot of charm but controversial to say the least no I like just the dwarves Yeah, the dwarves are great. The dwarves are fantastic. Dwarves are great. Right from Northland.
Starting point is 00:38:04 The maniac's legacy would be brought up again in the crimes of Luca Magna. The proto-lux maxer from Canada, who purposely broadcast his crimes to Gorsites. His video, one lunatic, one ice pick, depicted the dismemberment of a young man, a student named Lynn Juan. The most infamous fallout from this case, however, would have to be, in my opinion, the use of the maniac's crimes to inspire an invasion of another country. Vladimir Putin has developed an intense hard on to occupy Ukraine. From what I can glean, Putin wants to be an emperor.
Starting point is 00:38:37 And one can't be that without an empire. Russia wants Ukraine's location and its resources. We learn that from risk. But some countries' evil dictators will at least take the time to lie about a reason why. And to that, we can thank Vladimir Putin. And Putin's February 2020, speech declaring his intention to denazify Ukraine with an invasion, he was referring almost
Starting point is 00:39:03 directly to the Hammer Maniacs. Stills from Three Guys One Hammer would be used as examples of young Nazis filling the streets of Ukraine. This is a spin on the actual history. Ukraine did have its own nationalist fascist party during WW2, the OUN organization of Ukrainian nationalists. Yeah, almost every Eastern European country had Nazi collaborators and anti-Semites. every, not almost every single one.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Every single country that the Nazis occupied, there were collaborators in that country and people that were like, yeah, bring them in, kill all the Jews. And then what they also did was then think they could still hold their own, right? Like the OUN would help the Nazis come to violence against the Ukrainian people. They'd help during Operation Barbarossa, but they had this idea in their head that then we'll form our own OUN nationalist Ukraine and the Nazis will love us and then we'll get to hang out with Germany and Italy and a whole pure utopia of made out of total hate. And did it happen like that?
Starting point is 00:40:00 Absolutely not. Nazis fucking backtrack. They completely backstab them. They eventually arrested all of the OUN. They put them in concentration camps and the idiots left over from the OU.N. Would still be around to do the thankless dirty work for the Germans during the occupation. Yeah. Now the Ukrainians, the one thing I do know about the Ukrainian government is they were incredibly corrupt and incredibly violent up until Zelensky. So what happened? So this is the truth is that they were corrupt, but this is, it was all systemic and it was sort of like a hangover from the Russian occupation. It was more like a confusion and a malaise and a giant parliamentary system that was really like and made things really fucking complicated and slow. And it all and the economy was in the shitter. There was a lot of problems. But the truth is, fascism isn't that chitl of an idea? And across the board. And honestly, for the most part, people don't really even like it in. practice. Nazism really only took place amongst the people in Western Ukraine. Fascist policies were deeply unpopular in the majority of the country. About 20% of the population stood with the
Starting point is 00:41:06 OUN and the Nazis. So it's like there's a whole thing here. In modern propaganda, the De Nipro Hammer Maniacs would be featured in television commercials and magazine articles as examples as the rise of the neo-Nazi. And rumors were spread that Igor and Victor were released to join the Ukrainian in armed forces and have since escaped and we're murdering freely in the chaos of war. And that again is a spin on reality. Ukraine has released many
Starting point is 00:41:33 prisoners like, yeah, if you want to get out and fight for us, you can, but it's for like nonviolent offenses. Specifically for people that have only killed you can kill one person. You can have killed one person and they will let you go, but that is it. It's all, it's more than two, no
Starting point is 00:41:49 sexual crimes. It's anything, it's like it's nonviolent crimes mostly. Except for the one murder rule. They need people. Yeah. I don't blame them for that one. I don't think the maniacs would qualify. Either way, we're just saying that it's very complicated.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Right? And they try to... Propagana was trying to simplify it. Because Russia has its own problems with neo-Nazis. Hate groups like Mad World, the blood magic gang, and the cleaners committed crimes across the country. And those guys, they aren't playing fucking bumbershoot.
Starting point is 00:42:20 They are the names of Russian far-right extremists. militia gangs who've also killed dozens of helpless people and the name of Adolf Hitler and his tiny mustache. It's an extremely complex issue. There are decades of nuance, but I will, I'm just going to say my opinion here as the narrator, as I will declaratively state that I don't trust Vladimir Putin. I know. I mean, it's just because I've been hurt by shirtless Russian daddies before. Yeah, I think you have. How would you, what would be your first move in defeating Putin in risk? Oh, honestly, first of all, is to fucking get him in the room with me playing risk.
Starting point is 00:42:56 That's the first move, slowly poisoning. Yeah, because you don't know, Vladimir Putin actually speaks perfect English he just chooses not to. No, Vladimir Putin would be very good at risk. I bet you he's super good at risk. He brings his own dice. And as for the rumors,
Starting point is 00:43:11 and this is a big thing, and as to the rumors, that the Denepro Hammer murders were content farming for international snuff markets. The evidence is thin. The only videos to surface from their collection came from a leak within the court system.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Only three guys, one hammer is confirmed to be legit on the internet. The rest we've only heard the description. Take this just like it sounds. But a source that was friends with Igor stated that he said, Igor said, when we hit 40 kills, then we get rich, implying that they were vendors making an order. But there is no significant evidence of a Ukrainian mafia snuff film ring connected to this case, full stop.
Starting point is 00:43:49 None. As awesome as that may be, ironically. How is that ironically awesome? It's cool to think that there's something like that because that's just fun idea. It's a fun. From like an evil Satanist perspective. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. From my perspective, it's fun.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Even though I would say the general concept of an international snuff film market seems a more realistic possibility each passing day. Snuff question. All right. Do snuff films have to have rape in them? No, that's if you pay the extra premium. See, personally, three guys. guys one hammer is a snuff film? If it was paid for. A snuff film
Starting point is 00:44:26 is only is done to order. Okay. It's a, yeah, snuff film is a produced project. It has been asked for, it's been paid for. So you can't make it and then sell it, that's not a snuff. Yes, you can. That would be snuff. Yeah, if you make it and then say, it would be like that's a tires model. It would be like if you made,
Starting point is 00:44:42 a movie or made a TV show and then sold it to a distributor, then it becomes snuff until then it's just private. Yeah, that's a problem, man. It's like Peyton alone in your house. See, this my personal opinion. I think that snuff films could potentially exist in
Starting point is 00:44:58 very small batches in even smaller circles. The only reason why is I could apply the same rules that CSAM has, right? Private encrypted groups. It's WhatsApp chats, right? It's like just literally texting people on the phone. Tell it was a telegraph?
Starting point is 00:45:13 Telegram. I love my telegram. He loves it. Oh God, he loves it. Right. Hey, every time I'll go ahead. You talk. But there's only these lists. Those list dedicated to extreme tastes and pornography All the way across the legal spectrum from like not a crime But don't dog sit for me style like I love eating shit And watching people eat shit
Starting point is 00:45:32 You can get that. That's legal. Yeah, that's fine. But you might have to go find it. Yeah. But on the same places where you find that stuff, you're probably going to find the fully illegal. It's not a Serbian film triple X. Right?
Starting point is 00:45:43 Like you're going to find the real thing. Maybe. Maybe. But I think that in my opinion, in my opinion you could apply the same rules. to snuff, but just shrink it, shrink it, shrink it, shrink it. The lists are extremely short. But there's another theory that Rachel, our researcher, fucking dug up, she saved my butt.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Rachel saved my butt this fucking series. But I do want to say about snuff films. I truly do think that if there was a market for snuff film, like if there was an actual market people producing them, we would have found out about it by now. It would be, but we would know about it. Like there's no way that they can operate under such intense. extreme secrecy where we wouldn't know. Because that's the thing about all the Epstein stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:24 It's like, we knew about all of it in rumor for years. Yeah. Yeah, it'd have been floated and floated and floated for so long. Yeah. And something like this, it's people cannot keep their fucking mouth shut. They just said that is the human condition, human beings cannot keep their mouth shut about things. They cannot keep secrets.
Starting point is 00:46:42 And if snuff films existed, we would know about them because somebody would say, I have a snuff film. Yeah, if there was a market for snuff films. Yeah, if there was a market. Of course, people. Of course, there have been plenty of people that have... Died on camera. Yeah, filmed murders on camera, of course, and I'm sure that those have been sold at some point to
Starting point is 00:47:00 other people, but I don't think that there's an underground market where people are producing snuff films. But there's an interesting thing Rachel brought up that we were talking back and forth. So we got a little bit into exactly where was three guys, one hammer first put up. Yeah. That was, like, hard to figure out. So Rachel Burke, kind of, there's a theory that might connect some dots of all of this. the biggest gore site to host
Starting point is 00:47:22 Three Guys One Hammer was Ogrish.com She pointed out, like as what Rachel said, if you look at it, it's the only one of the, all of these gore sites that had to submit context rule.
Starting point is 00:47:33 So you literally had to say what it was, where it came from, so it was technically kind of legit. And this was back in the day. It wasn't like YouTube. It was bulletin boards.
Starting point is 00:47:41 So this is really about the conversation. This is about putting things up and watching, and people would like talk about it. Just so you know, there was a time back in the day before YouTube. for those of you that are younger, all right?
Starting point is 00:47:52 Because remember, you should know that right now you have big pants on. They're going to get skinny again. Yeah. And then those skinny pants are going to get big again, and they're going to go back to skinny. They're going to go back to big. It doesn't matter. Keep the old-style pants because they're going to come back.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Okay? All right, but there was also a thing like bulletin boards, where it was when the internet was more about talking to people. And not about likes. Yeah. Yeah. Stuff like this, ogres.com. All right?
Starting point is 00:48:17 But what if Gorsites came up? age, which they did when millennials came of age because most of it was fueled by the war on terror. This is a good, this is a very good point. This comes from Rachel. The basic argument is that footage of beheadings, war crimes, and other forms of extreme violence was being repackaged as amateur war porn. This was a huge benefit to Gore sites because like amateur pornography, it gave them a steady stream of material that they could regurgitate and recirculate without dealing with copyright
Starting point is 00:48:47 costs, invading all of the other legal issues with, as with dealing with actual snuff paid for content. So essentially, it's a lot of like, why pay for it when there's so much of it for free? It's all out there. It's already being filmed. Many of these hostage and execution videos were much longer, just like the Denepro one,
Starting point is 00:49:03 from then their original forms. A lot of them, when we see stuff like people dying on gore, like gore.com and these other things, what we actually don't know is that a context has been stripped from them. So a lot of them are way longer from the violence. They take the violence out and they show it, but you don't see all the other stuff,
Starting point is 00:49:21 like minutes of political speeches, confessions, all this kind of stuff to show you that these were filmed by people in war. Yeah. Doing this as a like hostage situation. Man, one that stuck with me that I saw was like,
Starting point is 00:49:36 there was a guy who was like being drawn quartered by pickup trucks. Yeah. And like they dread and then finally like his arm got ripped off and then they were dragging his ass and then fucking his shoulder fell out of his body. Like while he was like, and then like, Of course, like the thing I saw, like, paused and showed the shoulder fall out of his body.
Starting point is 00:49:53 And then they stopped the truck and then just shot him a bunch. Legitimately, why pay for it? Yeah. When you can, when there's just so much of it. And this ogreish would eventually turn into Live Lake, which is why it was the most legit one because it stayed around there. And those of you who don't remember LiveLeak, that was a gore site that essentially had a news skin put on it. Yeah. And then it became legit.
Starting point is 00:50:14 But, God, I love Live Lake. Why do you get rid of it? Because it's bad. Yeah, it was a bad thing. I know it was bad. I used to watch it too. Well, because what happened is all of these websites got also then got shot. They basically rose up during a war of terror, then got shut down when all these guys started seeing military videos being shown and private military videos like the Abu Ghraib stuff, all
Starting point is 00:50:34 the stuff getting coming out. So then the government sort of cracked down on the Gore websites saying that they were a threat to national security. So maybe we could see because now Gore sites are basically gone. Yeah. They're still motherless. There's still a couple of other things. And one more interesting detail In relation to the hammer video The author's claim of this We got all this from this dissertation That this guy wrote
Starting point is 00:50:56 Ogress relied heavily on a global network Of about 50 key contributors Working in Fields like Law Enforcement and Medicine This makes it pretty likely According to Rachel Which I think was interesting That one of the cops Or gotten to someone else
Starting point is 00:51:11 That was in the actual A member of the court uploaded those files Or so more than likely sold them. I mean, we see that shit. I mean, a cop took a picture of Kobe's body and fucking sold it. Yeah, Chris Farley, I saw that with a Chris Farley
Starting point is 00:51:26 Tupac. Yeah. Oh, no, it's very often. Let's just say coroners are not always the most moral humans. Not always? Not always. It's not about it. It's just easy to do. They're like, yeah, I'll take a picture of a body. We know I fucking care. Now, I see them all day. And the other big question I have is if you're going to let's say all it's true. Let's say
Starting point is 00:51:45 all the stuff market is true. And you've got all of these factors and all this kind of shit, you're going to hire these 19-year-old fucking idiots they can't hold on to a goddamn job when you have a whole world of four pay mercenaries. There's all of this like inter-country
Starting point is 00:52:01 former soldiers of some, like there's so many guys looking for work. There's no way Victor wouldn't have ratted on it. Right? There's no way Victor wouldn't have spilled the beans. If they knew assassins, it wouldn't be the first thing out of their fucking mouths. Yeah. It really would be.
Starting point is 00:52:17 And there's also, but on the other hand, what if it's like amateur porn? What if they really do enjoy? Like, let's take a couple of kids and let's do what we will with them and see what they do. That's what I was saying is what if they were an indie production company that was looking for a big distributor. It's not called Hammers Gone Wild. I'd be cool, though. But I don't think that's the case. I do a hundred.
Starting point is 00:52:42 I mean, I'm just playing devil's avid course. I 100% think that they're just doing it all in their own. You're right, Eddie. They would have fucking flipped immediately. All day. Or they would have just been killed in prison. Exactly. Because right now they're still alive.
Starting point is 00:52:55 They're sitting in there. God, crazy that no one's killed them in prison. It's hard. I mean, I'm sure they're in a fucking just a tiny box. And they're not allowed interactions with other prisoners. No. I'll sum up this series by asking, Yo, why can't we give piece of chance?
Starting point is 00:53:11 Why use a hammer to crush your person? We use a screwdriver to pop eyeballs like. fat-filled gushes. Use a hammer to build a house for an old lady. Use a screwdriver to calm down your podcast host. Hey, motherfucker. Wait, what? It's a vodka drink.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Oh, I thought you meant that like stab me while I'm talking. No, it's a vodka I thought to turn it around and stick the handle up his ass. No, no, no. I would say fuck me in my butt with it. Oh, no, I'm talking with a drink. By the way, back of the hammer probably would have been way better to pop out the eyeballs.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Really good. I wish you were there. See, unfortunately No, it would be too See, that's the thing It would be too awkward To get it in there You get a lot of cheekbow The screwdriver is I think a better fulcrum
Starting point is 00:53:56 Thank you Marcus You know guys Unfortunately I'm gonna say I don't think there's an easy lesson here You know Sometimes Because you know Come down to you
