Last Podcast On The Left - Side Stories: Eat Sugar

Episode Date: July 25, 2019

Ben 'n' Henry break down this week's true crime news: teen murder suspects scare British Columbia, a curious disappearance in a supermarket, arson at an animation studio, and MORE. TRIPLE L.

There's no place to escape to. This is the last talk. On the left. Side stories. That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. So I was having like a... I was kind of having a sad morning.

Oh you had a sad morning, why? What happened? I was having a jumpy morning. Get us one of those. Okay. I was in a cloud, in a cloud. And I got myself one of these, they say they're breakfast bars.

It's a fucking brownie. It's a brownie, it's got chocolate chips in it. It's got oats in it. That makes it breakfasty and then you can be like, I'm a health nut. Look at what I'm doing, he's got oats in it. Of course. But he's only got so many strengths.

Caramel. You gotta get something to convince you to get them oats down and you're good. Absolutely. Caramel is a wonderful, I guess... It's a lubricant. It's a health lubricant. Yes, it's a great encourager

to get the oats in your belly. But I was leaving the coffee shop and there was a homeless guy on the street. Right. And he turned to me and he said, Hey man, you gotta get something at brownie. Right.

I said, yeah man, here of course, take the brownie. He takes it and he goes, Hey, now I got your brownie. Now I got your brownie. And I was like, I think I met a gremlin. I'm very happy that it all worked out for that guy. Dang! You just screamed with maniacal laughter.

He got it. Like he entranced me. Like he broke me and he did. He really, he really, really did. Hey, what's up everyone? How you doing? Welcome to Side Stories. I am Ben.

I am with Henry Zabrowski. Of course, Henry is still in Los Angeles and before we get to the creepy, true crime tales of the week, we just have to say thank you to everyone who came out to our shows in Oakland in a beautiful San Diego and truly one of the best nights of our lives.

We had a chance to perform outside at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. 2,500 fans, people, you guys were so wonderful. So just thank you so much. It was a life-changing experience. It was so much fun to perform upon graves. It was wild. To project a video of a man shitting his pants

on an active mausoleum. Yes, that did happen. I can't wait to tell my grand dogs about this. I'm going to tell Wendy 3 and 4 about this. Yes. And it will live forever in infamy in our minds. What an amazing event. Thank you guys so much for coming and supporting us.

Absolutely. And thanks for the Hollywood Forever Cemetery for allowing us to present our wares and entertain the crowd out there. Everyone could not have been sweeter. All right. And I will say the owner of the cemetery, the guy who runs the cemetery, he's gray.

He's a character. But he really didn't do anything too creepy until the very end. And I was almost disappointed, but then he saved it. As we were leaving, he's like, and remember, you're always welcome back. Above all, below ground. Yeah.

It was awesome. I know. I kind of want my crypt. I kind of want, because she is literally a crypt keeper. Did you see his fucking Porsche? Yes, I did. He is very handsome. He had a vintage Porsche.

It was noice. It's very nice. But he's so clean, cut and put together. I kind of wish that they could just hire an actor to pretend. And they could give him a day rate and be like 800 bucks a day. You just have to be like, welcome. Welcome. Oh, she did not chair.

It's hounted. Like immediately. Immediately. But I love it. You know, the first time we went there, we played at the Masonic Lodge. And in this time, that was like our little green room, which was just anyway. It was just amazing. So thanks.

Thanks so much for all the support, guys. We can't do this without you. I also want to give a quick shout out to hashtag cut 50. I went to an event last night with Van Jones. Oh, yeah. And Jessica Jackson and the whole thing is about prison reform. Great. They released 2200 prisoners that were under basically over prison.

Right. They were heavily vetted. They've been released. And there's about two. They are going to release another 2200 eventually. And it's a really cool organization. And I learned quite a bit last night about prison reform. Well, that's wonderful.

And of course, we cover that extensively on abling and stop at give that a listen. And it's called cut 50 because they want to cut the prison population by 50%. Right. Well, yep. We have more imprisoned human beings than any other country on the planet. And if you even cut it by 50%, it is still more than any other country on the planet. USA all the way, baby. Of course we don't.

The Chinese don't tell us, but we're not going to get into that right now. Who has more in prison because that's a cold war all itself. It's very interesting. We're going to talk about some people on this episode that probably should go to prison. I think it's safe to say. That's the whole time I'm sitting there being like, I mean, like, oh, this is well good. But we've kind of still got to keep like, there's certain people I think could probably stay in there.

Yeah, I mean, I think there's some people that have done some things that probably could keep them in there. Like, I don't know if we're gonna be like, now, ladies and gentlemen, the new redebut of the Golden State Killer. He's here. He is. And he's on Fallon. He's coming to Fallon.

And I don't think that's going to work out. Honestly, if the Golden State Killer did go on Fallon, Fallon would just play a game with him. That's all that would happen would be like a funny version of Plinko and everyone would be like, Oh, isn't that nice? We are. We are so close to that. By the way, I was talking to my Uber driver as I always do.

And yes, I flipped the script on them. Oh, you want to talk to me? The passenger. Oh, I'm looking at fucking. I will out talk you. Absolutely. I will talk you to the point. You will drive this car into oncoming traffic.

Absolutely. And he and I both agree. It is just a matter of time. OJ and Casey Anthony, the reality show. What are you going to happen? I'm going to say 2020. I think 2021 or 2020. I don't know.

It really depends. I think that well, Casey Anthony is now positioning herself, right? Because she apparently has a self produced movie. She has a couple of production companies are trying to make a movie about her life. She's supposed to make almost a cinematic style. I think she's going to go a little bit into adult entertainment. Yes. She's going to pose nude.

I think she might do a couple of pornography films. Yes. I think she might do that. I think she might have another daughter. I think when she has a child, I think she will. And I think that will all position her into doing some form of media push. I think that she is just about to have a television show. And OJ is right around the corner.

Right around the corner. His like Dave Barry ask old man friendly Twitter account. It's crazy. It is full on dystopia. It really, it really is. And you know, as soon as the economy collapses in like 2001, 2002, I think that's where we're going to start seeing it. Once everyone is fully engaged in like massive depravity and just being like nothing is going

right. Everything sucks. Now it's time for OJ and Casey to lighten the mood. Well, when it's the perfect time, especially in a deep recession. Yeah. This kind of morbid entertainment because it's anything that's different than your current reality. And seeing these like, it's a new thing to be mad at.

And eventually being mad is just going to be another form of being entertained. Absolutely. Already we're already close to it. For sure. So that's why Twitter exists the way it exists. That's why the media is so successful right now and why Donald Trump is president and why he will continue to be president is because these people are addicted to being upset. And so we are going to see this.

It's all going to happen just for the rage tsunami that will happen afterwards. Absolutely. Rage is a very monetized emotion right now. That is definitely going to happen. But let's get out of this country and reality television. Let's talk about what happened in Canada. So evidently, this story is totally crazy. And this is honestly a side story's alert.

Be on the lookout. We got two folks on the run. Now this is a story that is developing. So we don't have a lot of details. Right. But apparently two lifelong friends. This is reported by the CBC. Two lifelong friends previously reported missing are now suspects in the homicides of a young

tourist couple gunned down in northern British Columbia last week as well as in the suspicious death of another man whose body was found near the friend's burnt out truck days later. RCMP. That's the Royal Canadian Mail to Police. Oh. They said Tuesday that Cam McLeod 19 and Briar Schmigelsky. I believe it. I believe it is.

Cam McLeod 19 and Briar Schmigelsky 18. Are suspected of shooting Australian Lucas Fowler 23 and American China D's 24. The couple's bodies were discovered along the side of the Alaska Highway south of a popular hot springs tourist destination on July 15. Four days after the bodies of Fowler and D's were found, McLeod and Schmigelsky's burnt out truck was then discovered near the community of D's Lake, BC, more than 470 kilometers away from the first crime scene. Really sure yet.

And eventually, and the body of an identified man in his 50s or 60s was found two kilometers south of the truck. Now, they have not really released why they are connected yet. No. You don't know why they're connected yet. They haven't released. So it's a total of three potential mirror dares. The body that they found of this 50 or 60 year old dude, totally unidentifiable, completely

burned up so they don't even know who that dude was yet and people really have no clue what the hell happened here. It seems like just a massive surprise. This is according to Sergeant Janelle Showit. She says, we are asking the public, if you spot Cam or Briar, consider them dangerous. Take no actions. Immediately call 911. And everyone that knew these kids, I guess they were a little bit problematic, but overall

it doesn't seem as if they were like kind of like, it wasn't crazy. He said on Monday, speaking a day before his son and friends were named suspects. This is his father. He said, they're just kids on an adventure. They're good boys. Obviously, that doesn't seem to be playing out in their favor right now. They seems highly out of character. We don't know what exactly happened.

They just graduated high school. They just spent five weeks working at Walmart together. They're two best friends. They're working at Walmart together, they got sick of doing it apparently, and then they went on like some grand road trip to search for adventure. According to the father, Al Schmagelsky, good strong name. Good strong name. Oh yeah.

He said, they're just kids on an adventure. They're good boys. And it's like, we don't know yet. We don't know what happened. They were last seen, I believe it at Home Depot. They don't know what they were purchasing, but they were shot on a, one of these, like they have those, when you go to a self-checkout, they have cameras on the top of it, and they got a picture of them, and then two of them, one looking like, kind of looking like J.

Allen Heineck. I think it's Kama Cloud. He's got the Van Dyke going on. And what I love is, is that he's wearing a Cthulhu shirt. It's like a super cute, like Kauai Cthulhu shirt. Right. And they try to describe the clothing of the shirt, it's being like, Kama was last seen with a shirt bearing the likeness of Cthulhu.

Whoa! It is an ancient monster, bent upon the destruction of humankind, like, I don't know. Everyone's saying that apparently, everyone's so scared, and BC, that they're all hiding inside of their homes. I guess so. And I understand that you are scared, but they are still, they are children. Well, but they're 18 and 19, those are some pretty scary ages. They have the power of an adult, and the mind of a child.

They're master blaster, all in one. And again, going back to this, sort of being a surprise specifically for Shmugelsky's family, Carol Starkely, that's his grandmother, said again, the boys were just going on an adventure. She says, quote, he was a great kid, I really enjoyed having him. The only thing that seemed to point to a potential for violence, I guess, is a post that he put on his Facebook page, but this was in 2015, and I really don't think this is any connection whatsoever, I think this is just a joke. Shmugelsky, updated his Facebook page in 2015 with a poster that depicted a handgun, and

the tagline, guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets. So I- I just think it's a Canadian joke. They're just fucking, whatever, they're just nerds. They're just nerds. These two little nerds. They said that they were a huge fan of the game League of Legends, that's what we know about them, and they said Breyer was really quiet with people, he was really loud spoken

in his friend group, but pretty quiet in general. We don't really know what the connections are yet, I want to find out how did we get to these two kids. Absolutely. Well, Shmugelsky, he's now described himself as likely now the most hated dad in the country. Oh, that's sad, you're not, you're not Mr. Shmelsky, Shmelsky- He said the family's trapped in their homes. Oh.

By a bunch of people with just hockey sticks? I guess so. I don't know what to do. Let them leave. Let them leave. They can leave their homes. Absolutely, and of course that is why, because these kids don't seem to have a checkered past, that is why initially the cops were like, I guess we have another potential homicide

with these two missing kids, but as it turns out now, these two children are potentially going to be charged with the mirror dare of three folks. So maybe these kids just got a Bonnie and Clyde bug up their butt, and we're just like it's time to go on. They could be making, they could be a little broke back mountain situation, we don't know. Literally we know very little, but maybe they just went on an adventure, they wanted to go on an adventure, and they found themselves in nothing but trouble. They got in way over their heads and are probably currently, let's be honest, probably scared

shitless. Absolutely. They have no clue what they've just done. What I will say to Cam and Briar, if you're listening to this right now, if you happen to be a listener to the show, listen to this, you turn yourself in because if not, we're starting to right now, the rumor, if it's not true or not, you guys are kissing each other in a hotel room right now. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Absolutely not, but if it's something that you're either proud of and you want to tell the world that you make love to each other, or it's something that would highly embarrass you as an 18 year old boy, just know for a fact, you're just a two million people just heard that Cam and Briar are K-I-S-S-I-N-G in a tree, and that's it. That's now proof. Perhaps a double tree indeed, the old double tree hotel there, well, anyway, love to each other. But very well, could be a Bonnie, or more of a Clyde and Clyde situation in this case.

Oh, I'm not sure who the Bonnie would be in the relationship, we'll have to figure that out when they come forward and proclaim their love for each other. I think it would be beautiful if their love could make them show the world how no one understands them, fucking do it. See this is why you do have the genetic makeup of a police officer. It is so ingrained to your core, you should just be a sheriff and just be like, oh, come on out, unless you're kissing on each other, and then they'll be like, oh, we're not kissing on each other.

We're not kissing. We're not kissing. I got another one. I got another one. Get him. Homosexual fear does it again. I feel like I will be one of those honorary sheriffs. Like Steven Seagal law man?

Yes. Now, how are you going to, you can't just be leader and only member of the slime gang and then get deputized. I don't think it really works that way. I started hanging out at cop bars, start being friends with cops. Okay. Then if you eventually they're like, he's a good guy, or this guy, he's a good guy. He could be a cop.

And then you get everybody drunk, really, really drunk. You know what I mean? They got a couple extra badges and they give you one. Yeah. You are then leaks, not legally, but if you have a real cops badge, you can pretend to be a cop. You know, I almost asked directions from somebody who was dressed like the cop from walking dead, it was this woman, it's comic con.

And I was like, oh my God, how the hell do I cross the street because it's such a colossal pain in the ass. And I really was about to approach her and just be like, oh, ma'am, how do I get, but then I realized she was, she, she was dressed in character and she was not an actual officer. So she did not have the power to help me. That's dangerous. Cause she's been like, yeah, sir, I guess, you know, but I tell you what, you have broken several laws and go, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh my God! Oh my god! All of a sudden you just flipping it. You're the one who's getting arred now. Oh my horrible, horrible indeed. All right. Well this next story, speaking of male genitalia, this is sort of right out of the Jeffrey Dahmer

files. in Phoenix, Arizona. So evidently, these folks open up this cooler, and they found a head sewn on to a missed match body, a bucket of limbs, and a cooler filled with penises are among the items that the FBI agents found during a raid on a Phoenix body donation business. This reminds me of how like my mom had like we have three refrigerators in the house. Of course you have to because you have to have all the meats because when there's a meat sale you got to get all the meats. That is what my mom does. My mom just banks it. She will like she'll call me and be like Henry Thomas you know they had lamb leg a lamb on sale for 75 cents a pound the other day at

Costco so I bought three and then put them into the freezer for when you come home. I was like I'm not coming home for like six months right she's just like yeah but then it'll oh it'll keep it will you like that's what she does she just I've talked about this on the show she just believes that if you freeze it it's good forever I you know I honestly it really is good forever unless of course you're a human being I actually this story is crazy to me because I didn't realize so this place was shut down it is a biological resource center and it's covered this a little bit we've talking about these little dinky dinks over the last couple years this is a new thing now they're doing where yes these are private enterprises where they bank human parts they get all these

parts and they sell them to hospitals well and they also so in Arizona if there's no regulation on this which I will say I'm not you know me I'm not like mr pro we need more regulation all the time but I would say maybe in this one case maybe we want a little bit of oversight just a little bit one eyeball so on the the pita sales it's happening in Arizona it's literally the body parts industry maybe just just to put your toe in and just be like so uh what you guys doing you guys so in heads to different bodies listen hey um I put my toe into this issue um can I get my toe back is there a return policy so there are at least four body donation companies currently in Arizona in addition to a nonprofit cryonics company that quote freezes people after the day they die

with the intent of one day bringing them back to life that's cool it I mean it is cool we don't I don't think it's ever going to really work but in FB right now these are just refrigerators though there's a lot of talk but until the other side happens this story is just about fucking edgi's freezer it really is and this is not the first time that cops or the FBI have gone in there and been like what the hell is going on in 2014 a uh an FBI agent rated a biological rated the biological resource center this is what he said he said quote uh what I what he described it as quote various unsettling scenes yes so what they found with it's like many of the body parts he saw were piled on top of one another with no apparent identification oh my what bodies they came from

or to whom they belong in addition to a quote unquote cooler filled with male genitalia right swina are testified testified that he also saw a large torso with the head removed and replaced with a smaller head sewn together in a frankenstein manner oh my goodness so he also saw a large male torsos with limbs and genitalia otherwise known as they're just like lincoln logs those are lincoln logs geez buckets and coolers with various body parts including a bucket of heads arms and legs this is i mean this is where colonel sanders would have happened if he became president it would have turned into this body parts piled on top of each other uh and the steel freezers with body parts inside with no apparent identification just willy nilly literally

literally willy nilly it really does not seem to be working out and surprisingly enough after a raid in 2015 a dude named steven gore was actually charged his name happens to just be gore be gore naturally steven gore is in the human body business because that's just the way that themes work so in october of 2015 gore tearfully pleaded guilty to conducting an illegal enterprise after accusations that he had provided vendors with contaminated human tissue and used body parts in a way that donors had not permitted so evidently in arizona this is a real problem it started as just a collection okay i'm a curious collector i went on to storage wars oh this is what i won and then i just kept adding parts you know because it's like a man needs drive to live of

course i gotta have i have to have something in this life and beanie babies that hit a dead end okay so some of you might be asking what what are these things going for these days well we actually have a full price breakdown so if you have if you just happen to have yourself a whole body but with no shoulders or head that my friend that's a big money body that's 2,900 bucks 2,900 american dollar bills that's big dude all you need to do is have a body that's it so if you just get several friends to will you as they go find a couple of your friends that live the worst lifestyles sure have them sign up a piece of paper like sort of like a loose version of a will saying that they could control of your body you're making money absolutely you're making money so

let's say one of your buddies let's say they were really nice they willed over their torso and their head but you know no legs you're gonna get yourself a sweet 2,400 dollars that's 2,400 bucks if one of you that's actually it's a little cheap actually i'm actually very surprised i actually need like a whole foot just 450 bucks yes a whole foot is 450 dollars so this is what adgean was thinking he was making money this is the thing when i don't understand about this all this is well and good i understand that organ donator system is corrupt this is how like dick chaney has had four hearts all this kind of shit i know that you can just purchase this shit you can but what really is the point of just buying a foot just to happen what is that foot

gonna do is it just keeping it on ice literally for yourself just in case you need a new foot i could see i could see you never know honestly you never know when you're gonna be riding a bicycle and your foot's gonna shred off on the on the gravel you never know but why wouldn't you just get one of those blades like that one murderer guy had they're really good at stories or whatever yeah why don't you get one of those blades wouldn't that actually be cooler than a foot yeah i mean you know i don't know maybe it's for a museum or maybe someone wants to put a foot on their head i have no idea but you can also get for a whole leg if you want if you got more than just the foot a whole leg is going for 1100 a whole spine which i think a whole spine is probably just going

to be more used for like a wind chime or something like that yeah do you have a spine is it are you using it for to beat the dust off of rugs i have no outside it's possible that's 950 bucks a knee 375 and a pelvis is going for 400 dollars so those are your those are your those are your deals at the old body parts store um so just on my body alone let me see how much money i'm worth so if you just carved up my body yes really really fast but we're gonna need a whole leg and knee i'm not sure if you're smaller would i be more expensive i guess you can't chunk it up mmm you would be more expensive i don't know there's more body to play with yes it's a bigger spine it's bigger knees bigger foot i mean sure if i was hard if i was harvesting and selling

your body that's how i'd pitch it yeah to try to get the prices up i mean obviously also it's got to be supply and demand right so if someone needs one part of my body they're also going to be my size i'm in like the one percent tile of height so they're going to i'm gonna be like i'll bet you i can go for 5k i bet you another uptick just another uptick that's another boom boom but yeah you could probably get i imagine you shoulders no head i would put you at i'd say i'd start the bid at five grand yeah okay thank you and then see if they negotiate me down i mean technically your lifestyle i don't know if they need to look at your blood no this is it doesn't seem like that uh because we will have drained all your blood yes exactly you can't we can't

really sell as your gout ridden foot no no although if you detach the foot does the gout stay in it i think unfortunately it is like a ghost i think you've made a little fat man anabelle down in your ankle i don't know that will travel forever oh maybe maybe i will but that's another tall tax that's another example of the tall tax that never gets discussed it never gets discussed i i completely agree we all have our crosses debate i know i know right from your way right from your way all right this story i want to talk about this this is a fucking sense so for well again maybe we could regulate some of this human body part sales at the same time i'm a free market person so just what it's got to do um again because you never know when you're gonna need a foot

you just never know we're gonna sit and we're gonna damn these companies when one day they might show up and be the one thing that we need i have got ugly feet i'm not gonna get the cameo numbers that i need for people to buy videos of my succulent feet i don't think that it's my go and i get my feet replaced it's an investment in me it's an investment in my business yeah but if you go in there and you're like oh i need to buy a penis and then they just open up an igloo cooler start rummaging around in there it's you we get in here like flapping around like all right this is no good this one's too pink this is one feel like yes give me the one give me that one with the curve indeed um so that's a new that's a news to me that's that section that we call news to me

when it comes to arizona i i know the state's a little fun it's a little wacky i just did not realize they just have body part stores scattered around with no regulation at all i think it's the coolest thing about arizona that i've heard all right well it's up here's this story this was done by who tv dot com i think this is real from council bluffs iowa uh remains found behind council bluffs grocery store cooler id is those of worker missing for 10 years this is so sad this makes me want to blow my brains out can you imagine being forced to remain forever at the job that you hate oh in the cooler section workers removing shelves and coolers from my former no-frills supermarket and council bluffs iowa in january discovered a body behind one of them

the remains were recently identified as those of larry elie mario mancada a former employee who had been reported missing november 28 2009 investigators used his parents dna to confirm the identity and the clothes match the description of his attire at the time he was reported missing according to council bluffs police captain todd wedham mario mancada's parents reported their son missing after he became upset and ran out of their home they said that he was acting irrationally probably because of medication he was taking officers contacted family members other law enforcement agencies nearby detention centers and even the u.s immigration and customs enforcement agency had he been deported to honduras before making his way to the united states what a sad

what a sad this really is so how the hell did this happen so evidently he ran to the supermarket where he worked there happened to be about an 18 inch gap um and now this was between the wall and the cooler evidently he fell in there they say no one could hear his cries for help because of the sound of the cooler this no it is called the no frills supermarket which i do like that they just let you know that's the thing whenever whenever you're in like um maybe a poorer neighborhood or something oftentimes the surrounding area will be like you get what you pay for supermarket like it's yes i know i get it no frill supermarket but can you we got yam sometimes yeah that's just the name of the store yeah exactly i don't know why they have to they really lower expectations before

you enter the supermarket which might be good but this is kind of alisa lamby it is yes it's an 18 inch gap so in his upsetness are we saying that he crawled to go sit i mean maybe who knows he could have just sat on top of the freezers as his like i'm king of this world now i go up on these freezes i king of everything i see and then he just slid into the gap i don't really know alisa lamb if you don't remember of course found on top of the now called to stay on man used to be hotel seesaw was found folded up inside of a water tank and everyone wants to say that she committed self origami where i don't know if she did no because this is the same thing wasn't the lid on the water tower so everyone's many weird details there's many strange details and of

course another story like he somehow fell in the gap or maybe he dropped something maybe try to get it and then he slid into it but the saddest thing in the world is the freezers going you don't hear him going yep yep yep well evidently that's fucked up evidently so when he ran out of the house it was also a blizzard a blizzard was happening and this is just kind of strange this is what his mother said trueth threw a translator in 2009 she says quote he was hearing voices that said eat sugar in his head so he was hearing voices that said eat sugar she goes on to say he felt his heart was beating too hard and thought if he ate sugar his heart would not beat so hard the blue clothing found in his body in january matched the description by the parent so there's something going on

um he fell also it wasn't just an 18 inch gap and like a you know a short fall he felt 12 feet so yes anyway i guess it's good to have some closure uh for the family but usually in these missing cases uh missing persons cases we never find a body so it's just interesting that this is what happened it's so sad and i feel like it goes into if you read anything about like the missing four on one all of the uh all of these mysterious uh disappearances that happen in the national parks right uh this has been a thing that has been uh constantly touted by a man named david polities uh that and it's interesting to see just how many ways you can just slide through the gaps of reality and just be like blink you're just fucking gone you're just such a complicated

story where like no one would have found his fucking ass no one would have found him if they just didn't happen to be ripping that up it's weird how how life can just i don't want to say it happens with people the way it happens in real life because you know how many times i've like something happened to me recently i was missing a very important piece of jewelry okay that i was given to me um and i was missing it i couldn't find it and i was nowhere and i did this sort of like i don't know whether it's just weed or it is just blips in reality right i'm certain i looked on there like i have a little thing where i could hang my bullshit like like my little chotskies like a little kind of like a tie hanger thing with a little tray and i looked at it and it

was gone and i came back and then it was just back there i know this is this means nothing when it comes to this case sort of comes to missing human beings but it is strange about how i believe that you know reality is very wiggly and you can just blip and then blip back the human brain can play tricks on all indeed this is a story about this fire that happened at kiyoto animation 34 confirmed dead after a fire at kiyoto animation suspected arsonists in custody this is written by brian ashcraft a fire suspected to be arson at a kiyoto japan japan animation studio it's like at least 34 people dead this is a beloved animation studio yeah a 41 year old man allegedly seen pouring a flammable liquid at the site and setting it on fire has been taken into custody they apparently

one witness said the suspect was screaming die as he lit the fire right another witness interviewed by the asahi shimbum said that she heard the suspect tell the police and response to being asked why he allegedly started the fire they ripped me off a backpack and bag believed to belong to the man was found nearby in it were several large knives and a hammer the man sinji oaba has reportedly never worked for kiyoto animation nor is he directly connected to the company he is currently in the hospital with serious burns oaba is quoted as saying i started the fire because my novel was stolen by them he is a real life what's his name milton from office space yeah so he managed to kill 34 people this really is just extremely extremely sad no evidence of any like idea theft most likely

obviously this person is extremely mentally unstable most likely he just watched one of their animations and was like i had that idea i had that thought and they're like we never heard of you bro also human beings oftentimes share similar ideas and similar thoughts were not as unique as we would like to be and if you want evidence of that just talk to stand up comedians about the dang cook butthole uh what was it the but each dang cook had a uh my butthole itch's joke and then there was a bunch of other comedians be like i have the butthole itch's joke and then they fought with each other a lot of people have one because a lot of people have butthole itches yes there's people have butthole itches parallel thinking is a massive part of society we're

linked psychically it's one of those things we're on a gigantic network so these ideas freely will travel between human beings absolutely this guy was obviously very sick this is an incredible tragedy it really is because these people have lost all of the archives are gone 34 people dead i but it's i'm almost amazed it doesn't happen more often you have a how often saturday night live steals people's ideas actively it doesn't go in and audition this is completely real like i won't put anybody on blast but i've had several friends who have tested for saturday night live and then characters that are suspiciously similar to what they were working on end up on the show it is common practice of course i was reaching the story originally where there was

another story that had just come out about a guy a man who was working for a production company who wrote a script several times that was this original idea he sent it in a movie comes out the same exact idea so they do it happens they do still shit but this is not that case because this man had nothing to do with this company no and according to a former firefighter uh so how did this fire spread so quickly evidently it spread through a spiral staircase that basically acted like a chimney so it just spread extremely fast and um it took just a matter it was just a matter of minutes before this entire building was completely engulfed and they were keeping everyone updated via twitter so it was literally like you know hearing 25 dead 33 dead and so on

and so forth so that is really just uh ultimately extremely sad because animators you know they're not the most athletic they're not going to be able to get out of that building they're sitting ducks in there they're working they're thinking about you know what what would this cloud say to this random tortoise like they have a lot going on standing desk that's a good point that's why you need a standing desk i love a good standing desk i do technically have a standing desk it doesn't go quite high enough for me but it is a problem we have the same you ever thought about you ever thought about putting it on books i should do that i could use those books for something anyway that would be good so anyway that story it's just sad i don't know so this guy's a terrible

story abba is going to obviously face some massive repercussions there but no it's a terrible story what a terrible terrible story i hope that they i hope that they can recoup i hope that they can come back i mean i believe anybody that attacks one of these creators establishment it's i mean it's it's it's absolutely brutal there's no reason to kill people don't kill people all right go for they try to sue them try to if they someone if a company sue takes your ideas you have to set up the president that they took your ideas and then you try to sue them that's the way to get him go at their fucking wallet yes and no way that money no way you'll lose that um and as a matter of fact you know it's not that you might win i mean it's possible it's like

you know you go to las vegas you can put it all on black and see what happens you know but no but you could attack them enough either on the internet if you get enough of ground you can get enough groundswell yes to attack them it's pretty great no absolutely all right well let's do this week's hero of the week uh the hero of this week you know what it is henry what it's a hamburger isn't that fun hey i found you know what you choose these stories right i know that you like looking for the hero and this is what you wanted to do you wanted to celebrate a non-living entity

today and that's fine well okay so for those that don't live on the east coast you you might not know we don't got no in and out burger okay the in and out burgers that's a west coast thing but there's i believe there's one in salt lake city maybe salt lake maybe they've gone as far as salt lake city they're expanding but they're not here yet so a new york dude he was just walking around he found a pristine and i mean it there's a picture here in this new york post article because the new york post only covers the most important issues of the day he was walking in queens he found this thing pristine condition on the sidewalk and he said uh that he was in shock over the case and he said quote uh his this dude's name is lincoln bowham he's 31 years old he said

it genuinely genuinely shook me to my core the santa monica native and his wife darik hats had time to kill before they were gonna get on this train so he said it was sitting on an empty block nearly it was totally untouched and he said it was sitting comedically like perfectly up on the street completely untouched he said we didn't touch it this is an in and out advertising this is like a weird cultural meme that they've paid for could be could be he said we didn't touch it he continued we stopped for a second took some photos looked around to see if anyone else was noticing and then walked on and he said it looked as if it had come off the grill just five minutes before there are no in and out burgers east of kansas city and bowman bowham he's a he's an expert here

he said he's had had over a thousand in and out burgers in his life and called the delicacy my death row last meal isn't that crazy this is advertising for in and out we are doing free advertising we have not getting paid i think in and out is fine i'm gonna say this right now before you call our shells i think in and out is fine i think there are other burgers that are beggar better than in and out i i actually am not a big in and out fan i've only had one time but uh it was a little it was a little old it was a little old maybe it was just my experience this was solved 45 minutes ago what we're just getting a live update that this was solved 45 minutes ago what is this okay travis this is solved yeah it was a 16 year old girl who was flying back from san diego and she

had it she had three in and out burgers one of them fell off as she was running to a shuttle to make it to jamaica queens oh my god we solved it live right here on the show this is interesting where'd she get the burgers what's up in san diego burgers so she flew to new york with them and she ordered them from in and out and asked the in and out employees what was the best way to keep them fresh on the flight so they didn't put sauce on the burgers and then they packed she took a fucking six hour yes with with she had them sitting on her lap for the entire six hour flight and she uh she packaged the vegetables separately and then assembled them when she arrived in new york this woman is my hero i want to marry her i love her she is 16 oh never mind

scratch it scratch it honestly 16 year old but not okay stop i did not know she was 16 but honestly that is she's tenacious she's got a good future ahead of her because you wait a full year and a half and you can make love to her i am not even no that was just a joke henry because i didn't even know her age my goodness gracious what is wrong with you no but she's gonna she's gonna be very successful in life because that's interesting because bowham the student in the story he's like oh i've never even seen this happen because he tried to do that same thing he tried to go to new york uh from los angeles with him and he says every time i've done it it becomes inedible the bun gets soggy and becomes a yeah this one just this one is just in perfect

condition it just felt strange at first i thought it was some sort of viral marketing thing but indeed it was a tenacious 16 year old girl who i'm gonna say flip it and reverse it the hero of the week is the 16 year old girl what a great story wow that's an employee it's got a point and it educates and it's great i have some i have some listener letters i'd like to read all right here we go i you know i love my listener letters and i have some corrections i have some admonishments and i have some celebrations of our work okay in your most so so this comes from b okay in the most recent episode of side stories henry quoted amber nelson with regard to meeting people on the internet you gotta know what somebody smells like this is prompted a response for me

because i have what's called anosima anosmia anosmia anosmia is the condition of not being able to smell well clearly not as dangerous as being blind or deaf it is on par with those things because anosmics are lacking one of the five senses yeah or six or seven depending on how you count them right most people become anosmic after severe head trauma car crashes leading the list i wouldn't be surprised if some survivors of serial killers like rigid ramires ended up as not anosmic because of how they were beaten others such as myself are born without a sense of smell this is called congenital anosmia i wish it worked like daredevil where my other senses were more awesome to make up for the anosmia right but tragically my only superpower is to draw palatius farts with

impunity which is honestly kind of worth it i wanted to be clear that i wasn't offended at all by the quote but it's an opportunity to educate you guys and perhaps others if you talk about there it is that the condition exists and you guys definitely enjoy knowing the weirder parts of reality and the human condition so there you go the point is i've never known what something smells like or somebody not my friends my family not my girlfriends not my kid not one and yes henry this means i have no idea what pussy smells like i can't compliment a woman's perfume i don't even know if she's wearing it unless i kiss her and i taste it i don't know what someone's pillow smells like i spend many of my waking hours with my dog who sniffs me all the time but i don't know what he smells like well

this might seem kind of tragic but it's always been like this for me but imagine what it's like for the people who weren't born this way imagine if tomorrow you could no longer smell natalie henry how would that impact your relationship how might it change how you feel about your home with all its sense gone so yeah it sucks for me but i've never known these things people who lose their sense of smell i can't imagine what that's like well all right answer a few common questions yes i can taste things no i don't know if my taste sense of taste is as broad of yours because i've never tasted anything with your tongue yes i might blow up my house if there's a gas leak and i learn whether a pussy is nasty by simply asking the woman if she's ever been with kissle all right we

got roast mode roast mode indeed okay it's really fun thank you very educational very educational all right another edge in a case here's another educational email this is from d i am a clinical pharmacist and after listening to creepypasta 14 and hearing all of your frustrations on the ambiguity of unexplained nocturnal death syndrome i figured i'd reach out to give you some additional insight and what that's syndrome on what syndrome means to the medical community okay a syndrome is a combination of symptoms resulting from a single cause or a combination of symptoms so commonly occurring together as to constitute a distinct clinical picture basically something gets called a syndrome when we keep seeing a bunch of symptoms that seem to accompany each other but

we don't really know the underlying cause or mechanism of disease there are exceptions such as AIDS or Down syndrome but most syndromes are not as well understood where this actually becomes helpful is when we are trying to treat the symptoms for example cannaboid hyper anemia syndrome which is characterized by intense periods of vomiting associated with excessive cannabis use oh my is largely non responsive to typical anti nausea drugs even ones used to treat the vomiting caused by chemo however hot showers baths are rubbing kappasin cream on the belly appears to alleviate the symptoms just fine we have no idea why this works this treatment would not work for typical nausea vomiting by identifying the syndrome as the cause of the nausea vomiting or able to

provide a more specific and effective therapy very interesting then additionally by giving the process a name and allows researchers to more easily identify cases of the syndrome and potentially find an underlying cause now this probably does not do anything to help ease henry's mind about suddenly dying in his sleep but i hope this helps clear things up a little bit all right if you really want to get fucked up look up a thing called stevens stevens johnson syndrome where is basically a completely random ass reaction you can have to any sort of antibacterial any sort of antibacterial drug or medication where gigantic rash blow up all over your lips and face oh my that that sounds absolutely horrible i think i saw a video on live leak very similar

with that disease actually do you remember that the guy playing the guitar horrifying oh yes very scary very sad very sad very sad and i have one last letter okay this comes to you and this is for you kissle all right and it really is really nice to hear this comes from s my husband and i love your podcast we always listen to your podcasts on sundays before we have to start a new week of teaching my favorite podcast themes are your creepypasta apps and your recent relaxed fit apps that's so nice very nice thank you my husband and i are special education teachers and we've heard ben's reading process over the years oh wait both my husband and i are special education teachers and we've heard ben's reading progress over the last few years i'm writing let you know
