TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Hi, and welcome once again to History Dweeds. I'm Tim. Welcome to the podcast where we take a light-hearted look at the dark side of history. The title of our podcast today is A Man Called Lucky, the story of Charles Lucky Lightoller, who has had a very interesting life.

We're going to talk about all his escapades. But before we do, I would like to remind everyone that we are a comedy podcast where we take a look at true crime and some stranger stories in history, and we use adult language. So if that offends you, we would suggest you checking out one of the other fine independent podcasts out there. We have a couple of favorites that we always recommend in sight, and they walk among us.

So if foul language offends you, please check those two out. If you're okay with adult language, then stick around for all of our hijinks. I feel like we're being a little pretentious calling this a comedy podcast. I don't like the word hijinks.

It makes it sound like we're on the Scooby-Doo game. Before we get started, I do want to thank, we had a fundraiser this weekend, and it was for one of our listeners, Hyro, who unfortunately was tragically killed in a car accident. And the group, our listeners, the Dwee family came together along with the podcasting community. We had a fundraiser, and it was very successful.

We raised a lot of money for Hyro's widow and his little girl. And I just want to thank everyone who was involved in that, all the podcasters that volunteered their time and services, all of the listeners, and of course all the members of our Dwee family. And a special thank you to Dominique, who's here today, who helped organize it. We really appreciate that, and I'm trying to make the best out of a terrible situation, but we thank everyone for your support.

Now I would like to introduce our panel, and we're going to start with the lovely and charming Dominique. And this is, I don't have a good introduction for Dominique yet, but we're working on one. But how are you doing now, Dominique? I'm doing all right, Timmy.

How are you? I'm fine. You're sober today. That's a good sign.

I'm sober every day, too. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Okay. Okay, Otis, yeah, you're sober.

You got your two-day chip, I see. Carrying that around with some great pride. She's on step one. I can't wait until she gets to that apology thing.

I have nothing to apologize for, and you guys came out guns blazing. I don't even know what you're talking about. Okay, so what's your step number one? I am going to look up the 12 steps.

Step number one. Is recognizing you have a problem, right? That's correct, which actually, I believe I'm the only person in this room who doesn't, so. I would now.

Doesn't recognize it or doesn't have the problem? Doesn't have the problem. We all recognize you have a problem. We're all game one.

It's that step two. That's that we struggle with. But anyway, Dominique, things going all right with you? Things all right, Timmy.

You're doing some exciting things for the podcast. You're out there trying to get us some opportunities. We had a great weekend. It was a lot of fun to do the date auction, and we were very grateful for all of the other podcasters out there who donated their time and money and effort, and all the dweebs who participated and people who came in from other groups who participated.

We also celebrated my Aunt Renee's birthday, which was a lot of fun. Yes, the Mrs. Colonel. Yes, the lovely Mrs.

Colonel. So she doesn't look a day over 40. She's gorgeous. She is very lovely.

All right, so happy birthday, Renee. Before we go on, I just want to first forget, this script today, it's a really funny story, and it was submitted. The script was written by Jason Dyke. So Jason, thank you very much for all your work.

It's a really great story, and we're looking forward to it. We know that our listeners are going to love it. Okay, let me now introduce our other member of our panel, who is of the female persuasion, a woman who is known across the land as Brandy the Benetlet. Queen Brandy the First.

How are you, Brandy? I'm good, Timmy. How are you doing? I'm fine.

How was your vacation? My vacation was wonderful. The internet was a little spotty, but it was good. Where did you fucking go?

Mars? I mean, Amazon? No, I think the place that we were staying, I think it just didn't, it wasn't equipped to deal with all of the people that were there. Oh.

So it was just really slow, really intermittent, and it would kick you off, and it was crazy, but it was lovely. I think sometimes, though, it's beneficial to get off for a while. You know what I mean? Well, and there was, we were at the beach, and there was a tropical storm.

I mean, it could have been, there was a tropical storm out, you know, to see. I didn't see it. It was out for, it was down by Florida, but it was fucking up all the ocean. We were getting big waves, and shit going on.

Yeah, it was a good time. So it was, what, South Carolina? Yeah, we were in South Carolina. It was, it was, if I, you know, it'd be a sweet place to be.

But you came home, and you had some problems. I did, I did. I came home, and my house had been broken into while my husband was sleeping, and he's a sound sleeper. He is not a sound sleeper.

He's a very light sleeper. He's just kind of fucked up. I'm not burgled, nobody burgled me. It was a fucking pink panther.

I bet it was that pink panther fucker. Maybe, but the pink panther was a diamond, and so. Do you think maybe, so nothing was missing? Nothing was missing.

Do you think they just stood over there and watched him sleep? That's fucking creepy, dude. I see videos, you know, where people. I do that with a pillow sometimes.

It's fucking like, what's that movie? I don't know. There's lots of movies. And the Rocks of the Crack, normal activity.

Oh, yeah, I don't watch that movie, but. So we did that. The next four was the same one. So we did that, and then we're also having some kind of plumbing issue, so.

It may be related. I doubt it. So I can't use my sink. Perhaps he didn't flush.

I don't think that's the issue. Is it possible that he's going to have taken a dump in your sink? Well, I suppose anything's possible. I mean, he was by himself.

Well, it might have been a she. It may have been a band of midgets. It could have been a band of midgets. Oh, you can't.

You don't trust a band of midgets? No, it's like gypsies. They're all over. Well.

I mean, you can spot the gypsies easier, but the midgets. Yeah. You have to look down the seat. Hold on.

I'm sorry. No kitchen sink. Let me retract that. It's a roving band of little people.

Okay. That's fine. Dominique is dying to sink. Let's tell me she doesn't have a bike.

It's so funny. It's kind of cute. So I had all of that happen while I was out. All right.

Well, I'm sorry about that, Brandy. But they didn't take anything. That's good. They did not.

So, you know, we just, you know. I live in fear. Check your. I live in fear constantly.

I know. I know. I'm just, you know, I'm glad nothing was taken, but it's just very unnerving. Yeah, it's creepy.

That sounds awful. Yeah. And also, I just want to go on record as saying that our podcast has nothing against little people or Roma people. Why'd she throw it in at this planet?

I love little people. We love little people. Actually, if they're on zebras. Absolutely not.

Absolutely not. We don't love them if they're on zebras. Well, that seems wrong. We have absolutely no issues with little people.

I don't love them. And the Roma people are in a press group. They're not gypsies. They're in a press group.

Are they trans or thieves? All right. Okay. So we'll have a conscience.

Thank you for being our conscience, Dominique. I'm proud to introduce the man who is known as really the moral compass of podcasting. No. The man who is known as an oasis in the desert of despair.

He's not. The very honorable. The Reverend Colonel Charles Beauregard Hawkwaters III, affectionately known as the Southern Gentleman. How are you today, Colonel?

Why are you proud to introduce him? I would hide my head in shame. Colonel Time, excuse me. Could you settle down over there?

All right. He made it rain at the auction. People were bidding. I made it rain, too.

Let's establish that. I got 60. Aaron Fowler bid $61 on me. That's her fault.

That's her fault. I believe I had the highest bid amongst us, so just settle down. Simma. Simma.

First of all, I've got all kinds of Colonel Time down. I've been gone. I've been gone. You all just roll on and podcast without me.

Like, I don't even matter. Maybe I should tell you something. Well, I did. Maybe you should stop and read.

Okay, Colonel Charles. Maybe you should reevaluate your life. Colonel, ramble a little bit so then we can get on to the story. I'm doing well, Timmy.

God damn it. No, I thought we hit that screwdriver from her. No, it's not a screwdriver. Oh, by the way, wait a minute.

You motherfuckers come in here and you want to use my office to goddamn podcast. This is him. And you leave it like fucking Animal House. Fucking empty water bottles.

Papers all over the goddamn place. Butterscotch wrappers still hitting off in corners. We have a little tradition. You motherfuckers.

We have a little tradition. You have lights on. I'm gone for a week. Lights are fucking on.

As soon as the podcast is over and we're done recording, we throw the script up in the air. And wherever it lands, it lands. I know, I got it. But you fuckers need to learn.

I'm not your goddamn mother. Yours is dead. You have a cleaning crew. Jesus Christ.

You do have a cleaning crew. But you know what? They don't come in here because they're fucking scared. Because they don't want to steal my goddamn food.

You motherfuckers do. And then you leave my shit tore up. Okay, you have to make a choice between your food and having a clean office. It looked like John Belushi's been in here.

You don't know what shop left on your carpet. Oh, I'm sure. Not on the carpet. But I will say this.

I did sit on your desk with no pants on. I'm not going to tell you where. That's okay. I went ahead and power washed that shit when I first got back.

All right. All right. Let's get into Jason's story because this is a really funny story. We're going to have Dominique lead us off here.

And this is a story again of a man called Lucky. All right. So again, thank you to Jason for this lovely script. This is the story of Charles Lucky Lighttoler.

Charles Lighttoler was a British seaman. No, absolutely not. He was one of many. You said seaman.

He was one of million. I quit. You can't quit already. You just started.

Wait a minute. Read what Jason put in parentheses here. He put hold for jokes. He served abroad, both commercial and military vessels, during a career that lasted 40 years.

What was the broad's name? What vessel was this seaman coming in? That was the title. Sorry, go ahead.

Are you guys sure? No, I'm good. He received the nickname Lucky because of the many sea disasters he survived during his career, including the sinking of the Titanic. He survived the Titanic.

So this guy must have been pretty rich because, you know, they drowned all the poor people. He wasn't very goddamn shovelers either. Well, he might have been up on deck at the time. You don't know.

You know, my favorite comedian, Bill Burr, does a thing on this. Because this was a man, right? He survived the Titanic. So obviously, he didn't go by the women and children, first of all.

He just jumped on a lifeboat. And that, what Bill Burr says, is the 30 cent surcharge. See, when the ship's going down. Nope.

Yeah. See, men make a dollar and women make 70 cents on a dollar. It's because when the ship goes down, we got to stay on this, son of a bitch, so you guys can get off and get in the lifeboats. Do you watch The Office?

When the wolf comes to the door, who are you looking at? Do you remember when Ryan started the fire? Yes. And Michael's got a cloud over everyone.

Don't act like that's not you. No, I stick around. Now, fire, I would get out of the way. He's the official floor warden for fire, so he has a fancy vest.

No, you're not. And a fancy hat. Oh, I'm in charge. I got a whistle.

I got a whistle. No, absolutely not. Fancy vest and hat. Guess who's the first floor?

Yeah. Dipshit number two. The two of you are in charge of this building's on fire? Yeah.

We give a fuck. Tornadoes, bomb threats, active shooters, anything. Active shooters. Active shooters, I can deal with.

Clearly. Actually, that's who I'd put you in charge of out of all of those things. I mean, you'd be shooting a tornado. You would be outside shooting a tornado instead of getting people in the basement.

Yeah, no, he's not getting people in the basement. No. Anyway, I'm sorry. This guy survived the Titanic.

Yes, I'm going to assume that he was... Non-chivalrous. Well, it's a complicated matter. He's a seaman.

So, he was born in Lancashire on March 30th, 1874. His mother, Sarah, died shortly after giving birth to him. His fault. Why is he killing his mother?

He had one of his big old watermelon heads. I can't. Can we move on before I start crying? That's terrible.

I just wonder, this whole thing's got me baffled here now. We're going to tell a story about this son of a bitch that's been in like... How are you fucking baffled already? I mean, wouldn't it be...

That's how he lives his life. Like a guy who was in the Navy and Vietnam and Korea and everything else, never so much got a scratch. That motherfucker's lucky. This son of a bitch, every boat he gets on sinks.

I'm not sure he's lucky. Is that an ironic name? Oh. Like when you call the big guy tiny?

I mean, what is it? Do you see my point here? I call you smart. The guy that never is in a...

The guy that's never in a ship that sinks. He's the lucky one. Not this guy. Okay.

This guy, everything he... Nobody reports on airplanes that land. Yeah, they're lucky. Every person that comes off...

Hello, nice to meet you, Lucky. Lucky. Oh, good to see you. I do agree.

Everyone who lands safely off an airplane is safe... Or is lucky. Oh, yeah. They're terrified of flying.

I hate flying. I don't like flying. We know. Apparently people are sick of hearing about you.

You're driving, son of a bitch. We know. We're going to go to New Orleans. It's just like, I'm going to drive.

Fuck. I'm like John Madden. Just give me my own bus. The Colonel bus.

The Colonel straight-talking. The Colonel caravan. Yeah, Colonel caravan. There you go.

That's what you need. Like I did in the primaries. But go ahead, Dominique. We digress.

Okay. So after giving birth to him... And his big head. And his giant head.

His father, Fred, abandoned young Charles from New Zealand. Well, he killed his wife. And Charles was raised by relatives. Wolves.

Not wanting to end up in a factory job, Charles, in 1887, at the age of 13, began a four-year apprenticeship aboard cargo ships. I agree with that. Well, actually, when you can walk and talk, I think you should start working. Because that's bullshit, fucking freeloaders.

Little fingers so great buttons. I'm just saying. All right. Well, that's one opinion.

13, get his ass in there. Send him out to sea. Okay, Miss Nike. Well, he doesn't have...

He's got no kids. He's got nothing to tie him down. I can go. I wish Noah would get a job, fucking leech on society, for Christ's sake.

Wow. Mom, feed me. I don't fucking contribute. It seems like motherhood's kind of great on you a little bit.

I have spent an entire fucking week with my goddamn kids and my family. My nanny got her tonsils taken out, and I was with my kids all week. That sounds like a first world problem. Like, I was on vacation and had to spend in an enclosed space.

Oh, speaking of first world, you were on vacation with your children. I was. I was. It was awful.

And how old are your children? They are six and 18. Oh, do they poop in a diaper and expect you to change it? No, just their underwear.

One of them still poops in their underwear? Sometimes he doesn't quite make it, or he gets too busy, and he's like, well, skid. There's a huge skid in there. So, Noah doesn't do that.

That's the old one. He gets busy playing video games. Doesn't have time for poop. He may want to look into an apprenticeship on the park with shipping.

You know, I've signed him up for that shit. While we were by the ocean, I was doing some job prospects for him. Both of them little fuckers. Because, you know, Noah can crawl in those tiny spaces, and it doesn't bother him a bit.

Oh, yeah. He can add coal to a fucking furnace. Oh, my God, no. That's right.

Get his ass a shovel and he'll be just as happy as he can be. Throw him some chicken fries. That's all you've got to pay him. His needs are, his needs are few.

I don't even know what to do with this. But I'm the bad guy here. And I didn't have my husband with me. I had my fucking parents and my brothers, and then me and my two goddamn kids, and it's in closed space.

It's too much fucking family time. Well, like I said, my nanny's been off for a week, so I think my problems are bigger than yours. Yes. Your nanny problem is huge.

My nanny, it was a big deal. It was hard. Yes. Raising kids, raising awful human beings is difficult.

It is. My children are wonderful, but I did interfere with my daily nap. Yeah, well, they do that. Yeah, you're getting wonderful now.

Anyway, I'm just kidding. I don't take daily naps. I have a hard life. Let's move on.

Let's be a hard life, yeah. Uncle Chuck, I'm going to call you back in about two hours. I've got to take my nap now. Can we take that out?

I've got to take my nap before the nanny leaves. What you need to do is find a job where you have an office, and you can doze off, and nobody will know. When I was pregnant, I used to take a nap in my office every day. See?

You get an hour for lunch. Don't say my real name on this podcast. I don't think anybody that you know listens to this podcast. I don't think anybody that I know listens to this.

Okay, so on his second voyage, he served aboard the Holt Hill, which was dismantled during a storm in the south of the... Yeah, this guy is an albatross. He was dismantled during a storm? On the neck of any shippy boards.

There. No, no, you're going to catch the next one. Right, right? Can you just cut me out?

No, we're full. But you only have three people. Full. Full.

I'm a semen. You're one of a million. Full. The guys in Dunkirk were saying, like, no, we'll wait for the next one.

Yeah, we're good. Thanks. I'll swim. You know, I'm so afraid to fly, I have to take Valium any time I fly, and the doctor will prescribe me.

You know, they always, like, just give you, like, 20, so I assume they need 10 per flight, which, as it turns out, if you mix with a few drinks, is a terrible idea. Sounds perfect. But... I was on flight once, next to this guy on the way to California, and he and I had a lovely conversation for, like, four hours, I thought.

But at the end of the flight, he was like, do you have narcolepsy? And I was like, no. He was like, oh, because you kept falling asleep in the middle of our conversation. But then, he goes, how long are you in town?

Because I rented a Mustang, and my hotel room has a hot tub, and I was like, you think I'm narcoleptic, and you want me in your hot tub? Well, he's not going to save you from drowning. No, but he has a Mustang. But he has a Mustang.

Yeah. One time I gave a woman a key to my hotel room, went back, and my luggage was missing. Why are we stopping? All right.

So, anyway. Forced to put... One of these days, you're going to wake up in a bathtub, what, I think? A kidney, liver, a big toe.

They can do the penis transplant. I don't know what you're packing down that thing. Well, it must be something. It's laid more than an onium.

More than an onium. No eyes. It comes with a patch and a limp and everything else. I don't know what happened.

I gave somebody my room key. Yeah, and now here I am. They gave my kidney. There was a guy.

There was a guy. I'm from this really small town. There used to be a lawyer that had narcolepsy. And he would fall asleep, like, in the middle of court.

He'd fall asleep, walking from the courthouse to his office. And it was just one of those things. The judge would be like, wake him up. He might want to say something now.

Objectionously. Yeah, dude, this guy was so... And one probably had nothing to do with the other. He was kind of slovenly.

He was kind of, you know, a big guy and sweated all the time. And his face was real red all the time. And he would just fucking drop like a hot rock. He was like one of the feigning goats.

Well, he's very lucky because the Supreme Court ruled that your attorney sleeping through your trial is not a six-amended violation. Well, that's real relief. Yeah, they executed that guy. Well, you know, in my town, there's not really a whole lot of that.

There was a lot of, you know, drug and disorderly cases. Oh. I mean, now there are more. But at the time, you know, it was pretty small.

There went a lot of murder. Yeah. And shit. Well, all right.

So, anyway, Charles, you guys were on page one. Well, you know, move along. Shit. So, anyway, on his second voyage, I told you, he served aboard the whole tale, which was dismasted.

Demasted. Dismasted. Excuse me, I'm reading. It was demasted.

During a storm, you get all the legs, in the South Atlantic. Forced to put in at Rio de Janeiro. I'm confused as to whether these are nautical terms. I don't know nautical terms.

The ship made repairs. You know what? Go for yourself. Go for yourself.

I love you, Bray. We're just saying it's not like four and a half. The ship made repairs in the midst of a smallpox epidemic in a military coup against Brazil's monarch. I'm only five feet tall.

It'd be weird if they were bigger. Although, they've never failed to satisfy. We'll get on with the story. After making repairs, the ship returned to surface in 1889.

Only to be dismasted again during a storm in the Indian Ocean and ran aground on an uninhibited four-mile island. Is it like Gilligan's Island kind of stuff? I wonder if it's like, yeah, where there was like Japanese people. What year was this?

1887 paint pitchers. Oh, so you didn't have Japanese people that didn't know the World War II was over. Oh, goodness. Because you've got to watch out on those.

I was just going to go with Gilligan's Island. That's why I don't go to Hawaii. Oh, I'm sure that's exactly why you don't go to Hawaii. Or they won't let you in.

It's toxic. Is that what I mean? What does? Yeah, yeah.

You can't drive there. Somebody look at demasted. All right. It's when the mast on the goddamn boat, the sailboat gets knocked off.

What about that? Demasted. Demasculated. Demast is a nautical term to remove or break off the mast of.

All right. So it comes off the sail. Did any of you motherfuckers take basic English? Who just texted you?

So what part of town do you live in? This is what I'm saying. You're lucky you didn't get a big old whiny shot. You're lucky somebody's poon didn't pop up when she did that.

Oh, my God. That's happened. It's awful. I don't.

Okay. After eight days. I have to read this so I can get out of here. Okay.

After eight days, the crew. This is a mess. He keeps falling off this fucking ship. He keeps falling off.

This is a, okay. Speaking of disasters. After eight days, the crew included, including, after eight days, the crew, including 15-year-old Charles, were rescued and taken to Australia. Oh.

Light Toller joined the crew of the Duke of Abercorn for his return to England. We have some lovely listeners in Australia. Like three. But you're wrong.

Marvin, Ali, Fiona. Yeah, there's a bunch. Yeah, actually, we do have quite a few. And then they went to England, where we also have a bunch of lovely listeners.

And that is true. Excellent. We're going to page two. He returned to sea aboard the Primrose Hill, sailing through a cyclone to Calcutta, India, where he passed the test for his second mate certificate.

I'm glad they gave him another certificate. That was a really good plan. He's already accomplished more than my kid has, so. So I'm all about that.

Transferring to a windjammer, which I didn't realize existed. It's a partnership. Yeah, windjammer. It's a partnership.

It's a type of boat. I feel like you guys have lived a life that I haven't lived. Probably. One day we'll have to do a Q&A.

Nope. You were your nanny. I figured you'd know about sailboats. I don't even know what that means.

He's trying to, my family enjoys. She lives a fancy life. Your family enjoys sailing? No.

Are you kidding? No. You can't put them on a boat? I guess somebody would die.

You can't, you can't. Windjammer's a big-ass boat with a lot of sails. I'm just surprised it existed in 1887. That's my point.

But they transferred to one. It was a four-mass cargo ship, the night of St. Michael. And he was instrumental in putting out a fire that broke out in the ship's cargo hold, which at this point, I'm 90% sure he started.

You know, the windjammer is the grandest of all the merchant sailing ships. Shut up. For helping, right? Typically, your windjammer would have between three and five masts.

How if I windjammer this? So it was quite the impressive profile as it was coming across the sea. Unlike yourself. Go ahead.

So this man has made quite a trek. Thank you for that, NBC. This man has made quite a trek on many ships. He put the fire out, though.

I mean, at least he's being fucking useful. Yeah, after he started it. Maybe. I'll prove it.

I know it in my bones. Make you fit a bad rap, but go ahead. For helping save the ship, see, he was promoted to second mate. This motherfucker started that fire.

He knew. And this motherfucker's a genius. Well, clearly. He's got an axe chopping down his masts every in the morning.

Show me how the motherfucker's here. He's like the nurse that's killing people. No, he's like the Zodiac, undoing people's tires and then having to pull over so he can help them. Nice.

That's a good plan. Never heard that one. I'll have to do that later. What is wrong with you guys?

No, don't do that to anyone. Why don't you think I'm telling people like you do? In 1895, at age 21, all this happened before he was 21. Again, because he has initiative.

A veteran of one shipwreck, a fire at sea, and a cyclone, Charles obtained his mate's ticket because clearly he needs another promotion. He might as well get a fucking job here because apparently the less competent you are, the more they move you up. These fuckers are in charge. I know.

It's a disaster, which only shows that the more incompetent you are. Yeah. Oh, yeah. See, I realize that I don't give a fuck if anybody else gets out of here.

I'm out the goddamn door. Oh, you're running a screwdriver first. I know that. Yeah, in fact, I have a thing that's made out of duct tape, and I just put it on my head.

It looks like a horn, and I just go head first. Get the fuck out of the way. Deadliest unicorn ever. Of the West.

Yeah. So, transfer... Oh, no. So he's a mate now.

So now he's got his mate's ticket. He joined Elder Dumpster's African Royal Mail Service, starting a career on steamships. After three years on the West African coast, he nearly died from malaria. Of course he did.

Nearly. Like Timmy. Did you get malaria? No, he has scurvy.

He has scurvy. You're the only person. You're the only person in the last 120 years to get it. What the fuck is wrong with you?

He's not a pirate. You need some fucking vitamin C. You didn't know he had scurvy? Good Lord, we told you he had scurvy.

I know, but it gets better every time. Give me roots over here. And then he wants to sit and tell me today how much he loves raisins. I'm like, you haven't seen a fruit-sake mom.

Oh, I love raisins. Because we're talking chocolate-covered raisins. Well, yeah, he likes raisinets. Yeah, I'm like, because I had a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast, and I think that that's fine.

An oatmeal chocolate chip cookie would have been better for me. I recognize that. And he wants to sit over there and go, oh, no, raisins. Fuck raisins.

Nasty shit. Fuck raisins. Fuck raisins. I have pro prunes.

Do you know how many raisins I fucking stepped on? I don't know. I don't know. Are there any kids?

Oh, kids? No. I recognize how they come. A three-year-old with one of those little boxes, you might as well just, there's no reason for it.

No, absolutely not. And they're stupid and useless. And they're dangerous for dogs. I'll tell you that.

Anybody has a dog, if they eat raisins, get them to the food. Or grapes. We're talking about it. Or grapes.

Or onions. Or chocolate. Or chocolate. Yeah, chocolate's one that's a little bit of a myth, though, because they have to eat so much, and it's got to be real high-quality chocolate.
