Conspiracy websites continue to go down around the internet. Is this just all a coincidence? Or has the Empire decided to strike back? And then we take a look at the story of four boys just hanging out in their backyard having a good time.
Little do they realize that this afternoon will involve a series of mysterious events that will tear their friendship apart. Poor Rev. Today I'm Ted Rapperini. Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Ted, the Rev and me on your hosties apartment.
I'm having a great day. I hope you guys are having a great day too. I hope you guys have some awesome plans for the weekend. I don't know what I'm doing.
No clue, honestly. I do want to see that new movie, Sinners, that Michaelville Jordan movie. But I don't like to be able to see that this weekend. So other than that, I'll probably just be working on the show.
But I hope you guys are doing fun stuff. We got a ton of stuff to cover today. So first off, running into DeadRapper Radio Command. Everyone get on your feet, hold your nose, and give it up for...
Stinkbug Potato. Woohoo, yeah, we... Yeah, smelling up the joints. Smelling up the joints.
Stinkbug Potato rolling on into DeadRapper Radio Command. Stinkbug Potato is one of our Legacy Patreons orders, a long time supporter of the show. And that is why they are going to be our Captain or Pilot this episode. If you can't support the show financially through the Patreon at a merch store or anything like that, that's fine too.
It really is. Just helps spread the word about DeadRapper Radio. That helps out so much to your friends, to your family, to everyone you know. DeadRapper Radio is your favorite paranormal show.
That is how you can help the show grow. Stinkbug Potato, let's go ahead and get this party started. I'm going to toss you the keys to the new vehicle. I got a new vehicle.
I'm going to toss you the binary code for the DeadRabbit digital disk drive. Everyone digitize yourself like Trana. We're all getting warped down. Basically this is just a USB flash drive.
It's not even a vehicle. It's a stinkbug potato. Wait until we're all digitized. And then she just plugs us into a USB port.
We're flying around. She's like, I'm just in a computer. Don't I get to go on the adventure? We're flying through the internet.
Stinkbug Potato, plug this USB drive in. We're leaving behind DeadRabbit Radio Command. Let's digitize ourselves and fly into cyberspace. You're just making circus noises.
What was that? Probably better off if I did the AOL noise. We're now logged in. We're in cyberspace.
We are gods here, much like lawnmower man before us. Okay, guys, I'm going to be completely honest with you. This is my honest, slash exhausted voice. I have done multiple takes of this 4chan story.
The first one was like maybe 15, 20 minutes long. And I go, that's a little too long. I can shorten it. I think basically my whole thing was we're having all these conspiracy websites shut down recently.
4chan because of the export and the politically incorrect board. That's where a lot of conspiracy theory really took off from. It didn't originate on 4chan, but 4chan made it popular. The nobody.
Pizza gate, QAnon. All of this stuff, I mean, just to name a few. Mainstream conspiracy theory is informed and molded by 4chan. It's the segment 20 minutes long about that.
4chan's down. We're now a day five. If it comes back, it may not. If it comes back, it may simply be a shell of its former self.
It was hacked. It was basically a 4chan civil war. I'm really trying not to talk about it because whatever it was, I did about a 20 minute long segment. 4chan's down.
So it's above top secret, which is another old school conspiracy theory forum. They're both down now. Hackers, I hear above top secret was brought down by hackers. I've also heard that the owner just lost interest, that there was money problems.
Whatever the case, we have two major conspiracy theory forums that are no longer in existence as a recording this. I did a 20 minute long segment on that. I thought I could do better and shorter. I just got done recording a 45 minute long segment about conspiracy theories and 4chan and it gets into pizza gate and.
Listen, man, if that was it, I would have released it. It would have taken a lot of editing to get it down. But then like the last 20 minutes it gets into the Ukraine Russian war and drone footage. You're getting blown apart by grenades and machine guns.
You're like, what does it need to do with that? I know, man, it really spiraled out of control and it ended up being about 50 minutes long. So we're going to just say that 4chan is down as of now. Hackers took it down due to a civil war.
We've lost one of the main conspiracy theory forums on the internet and it's not the only one above top secret is gone as well. It's the only two big ones remaining that I know of. Vigilant Citizen, which I believe still has their forum. I'll check real quick.
Vigilant Citizen specializes in conspiracy theories regarding the Illuminati in Hollywood. It's very interesting. I've been reading them off and on. Looks like they took down their forum.
Interesting. It was up as late as last year. I don't go there as much as I used to. I was on the recently because of the Dave Grohl story that we did.
Dave Grohl being a. Saint worshipper slash murder in his own band members to achieve even more fame. What? I didn't hear that one.
Vigilant Citizen no longer has their forum. They used to have their forum. I used to go to it all the time. And then they did a hard reset in the mid 2012's around there.
2010's somewhere. They raced it and then they brought it back. Now it's gone again. So really there's only one.
I'm glad I double checked that. There's only one conspiracy theory forum still up. That is god-like productions. That is where the conspiracy theory of the nobody started.
And I'm just double checking that that one is up. And it is. And just in case you want to know the number one thread on there right now is I just ordered a new toilet brush. So that should tell you something about the quality.
I don't know why that's number one. Trinity is the guy who runs it. And that's his post. Maybe it was some sort of code to his users.
I don't know. So this is really the last conspiracy. Right? It's a joke.
Right? It's too heavily policed for real conspiracy theory talk. But anyway, so yeah, no, I imagine what I just said. It's right out over about 50 minutes.
I liked it. It really went into detail a lot of stuff conspiracy theories and conspiracy theory culture. But in the end, once I got it all to the, basically it became me. Oh yeah, there's this video footage of some guy hiding in a foxhole in Ukraine.
This Russian soldier in a drone's flying over dropping a grenade on him. Like, it was just depressing. Honestly, it's sad. I ate lore and I hate that stuff's going on.
And I understand the geopolitics and I understand all of that stuff. But it just got, I mean, again, it was almost just too depressing to release. And I honestly feel a little exhausted having talked about for 45 minutes, 50 minutes. And I still need to put out an episode for you guys.
But it's not just a knee, right? It's a want. Quality stuff that you guys are going to like. Now that 4chan episode, I might end up releasing at a later date.
I just don't think it was great for a Friday episode, right? And it got a little dark towards the end. To be fair, there's a lot of really horrifying content coming out of the Ukraine-Russian war. I'm not going to tell you about it.
That's right there in the previous version. I was like, oh, did you ever see those videos? There's young men being thrown into the back of vans and be driven out to the front lines. They were draft dodgers who didn't show up, so now people are looking for them.
Horrifying, horrifying stuff. Well, anyway, so we're not going to go that route. I pretty much said everything I need to say we're basically down to one big conspiracy theory forum at this point and we need these forums to talk to each other. Because if something is happening in your area, you think, oh, that's weird.
I just saw something really weird happen in my area. I just saw this presence of military vehicles or all of our cell phone service went down or drones in the sky or what have you. But if there's no way to talk to other people about it, you don't know that that's happening. You don't know that that's happening in 8 states away.
You don't know that that's happening in another country as well, unless the mainstream media covers it. And if it's really important, the mainstream media won't cover it. So that's why we need these conspiracy theory forums for better or for worse. But anyways, there we go.
How long was that? Eight minutes. I'm happy with that. I'm happy with that.
Stink bug potato. Let's go ahead. Oh, he digitized. Yeah, all that.
I'm leaving that in. It doesn't make any sense because I didn't really go in a detail. I thought it was a funny intro. This episode is going to be a little shorter with the top to the end.
Stink bug potato. I'm going to toss you the keys to the world famous carpenter copter. Everyone climb on board as we leave behind the fractured rubble of fortune. I mean, I did just drop a bunch of money.
I advertise on the export a lot, but whatever, you know, whatever. I don't know if I'll ever see that money again. I probably won't. Same advertiser.
I don't know if it's coming back. But you know, you take risks with your money, promoting a show there, whatever. I'm not too worried about that. But hopefully for the conspiracy theory community, I hope it comes back.
Stink bug potato. We're leaving behind the fractured ruins of the four chance civil war. Why don't you fly us all the way out to? I don't know if I'm going to do the missing voice story again.
That might actually be too long. Like I did. I'm pretty exhausted. But I want to get you a good story.
Let's do something sweet and short for this weekend. While I'm pulling this up, I do want to say this. I'll do a really quick. This is what I wanted to keep the episode short just for my own sanity.
I saw. Here, I'll do this. These are too fun. Or maybe just one.
Again, I don't know. I have two in me. You're like, Jason, just take a nap. Go to bed.
I saw an amazing movie last week called, let me make sure I get the title right. My brain is mush. I will say this too as we're flying around. What are we doing?
We're flying around the corner. This is your first episode. You might want to check out another one after this. This is pretty rambly for a normal dead rabbit radio episode.
As I was trying to decide what to do, it was I going to try to edit that whole 45-50 minute song, Ukrainian drone footage, 4chan episode. I was watching the news about, I was online, checking out the news. I guess there was a shooting at a university in Florida. You're like, Jason, I think you're going to be like, oh, let's talk about something like Arden.
This is just so dystopian. I saw this headline. I read the New York Post a lot. It's one of the websites I go to.
It's suspected FSU, Florida State University shooter. Seeing and terrifying video firing away on campus as bystanders fleeing. I was like, okay, I want to watch this video. I guess he was like the son of a sheriff.
A son of a sheriff deputy. Weird. It's all still kind of breaking news at this point. I was like, okay, I watch this video of this guy walking around campus shooting.
Curious to see what it is. Some guys hiding in the bushes videotaping it. And I go to click on the video and I am then treated to a 30-second commercial for engagement rings. And I'm just watching them like how this is so dystopian.
Like I'm about to watch a video of a man who killed multiple people on a college campus. They weren't going to show the people dying, but it was just a guy walking around shooting a gun and you hear people screaming and running. But before I get to that, I'm treated to a 30-second long interactive commercial for lab-grown diamond engagement rings. I'm like, first off I thought anyone who's clicking to watch this video probably isn't getting married anytime soon.
That should be that they were target audience. Something's wrong there. But two, I thought I mean like these rings are like a thousand bucks. These are nice rings.
I don't think this is so weird. I'm about to watch a video of a young man in the middle of the day walking around opening fire on unsuspecting college students and they're trying to sell me a ring. I'm not trying to make a joke, but they should have been like body armor or pepper spray. A commercial advertising if you can scare the audience and that's what a lot of media does.
It scares you. That would be a little more like connected. And it was two ads. One was a 30-second ad.
And of course I'm like, what in the world? I'm bored. I have to wait 30 seconds. So I'm like looking at the different rings.
The other one was a 30-second. There's two ads. That one. And then I had to wait another 30 seconds.
There was an ad for a dementia laboratory or something like that. You go in there like, hey dog, where'd you put all those vials? He's like, I don't know. I guess I'm hiring 80-year-old doctors.
It was like a dementia rust home or dementia hospital or something like that. And I'm like, what are you showing me? Any ads. I'm about to watch a real footage of a man walking around opening fire on people.
There should be no advertisers on this. It was absolutely bonkers. But then the two ads were so weird. But yeah, it was almost like a Robocop moment with the ring ad.
It's like live a life of luxury. Show her. She means the best of you. Clarice Jules.
Brings out the sparkle in her eyes. And then it just cuts to a man going, ah, he's gots getting blown out. And it's a live news footage of nuke addicts in new Detroit opening fire on police. Like it was just, that's what it reminded me of.
It felt so weird. What were we talking about? Wait, I haven't even done this out of it yet. Stink bug potato.
Everyone climb on board. The carpenter copter. We're saying goodbye to everything I've talked to previously. Why don't you fly us all the way out to a lonely country road?
I'm going to save the boy story, the three boys in the backyard story. I know I've hyped it up twice now. I'm going to save that for a Monday. It's a long story.
I want to take time with it. My brain's not working. But as we're flying out there, since we're already kind of making a Google watch of this episode, I really got to recommend this movie to you. I really got to recommend this movie to you.
I was watching it the other night. I was just looking for something to put on. A long time listeners of Dead Rabbit Radio Know, the fluffle out there who listened to the show regularly or semi regularly have picked up that I have. I spend my nights when I'm not working on the show playing Minecraft and watching movies at the same time.
I have either evolved or devolved into Generation Alpha. I can't just do one thing. Fire up Minecraft. Watch a movie.
A lot of times I'm just picking movies at random, right? I don't even really read what the description is most of the time. I just go, whatever, click, put it on, start mining. I found this movie.
It had the most generic title in the world. Perfect. It will be something just on the background that I can look over every so often. I'm not going to take up a ton of my mental powers.
I'll save those for the creepers. It's a shadow original. I'm a huge fan of the streaming service. I was like, okay, let's go.
This movie was fantastic. This movie was so awesome. This happens every once in a while. I stopped playing the game.
And I'm just watching the movie. That's how you're supposed to watch a movie. You're like, wow, Jason, you became a big boy. You focused on one thing.
Good job. It's called 825 Forest Road. It is this weird blend of a horror movie. And a conspiracy film.
Because this ghost is so powerful, it haunts the entire town. It's this ghost of this woman who, in one way, it feels like just a traditional straight-to-streaming horror movie about a ghost in a haunted house. It's very, very like just the set up is basic. But the way the movie is constructed is ghost is so powerful.
The town's economy, the way that its businesses are set up, are dependent on the ghost. There's a secret society of people called the Friends of Gardening that are actively trying to talk about the ghost. Because you're not supposed to talk about the ghost. That's a rule in the town.
It's a modern-day story. It's not like old-timey, the village-like stuff. Modern day can't talk about the ghost. The ghost will show up at local businesses and the business will just shut down for the night.
They're like, okay, everyone, thanks for coming out. We're going to go ahead and close. So everyone leave. Thank you.
And the people who are in town just are like, oh, okay, it's the ghost. The Ghost is showing up. But we're following three new characters who just moved into town. They're like, what in the world?
Like, I was at the art gallery. And I was just walking around. And then all of a sudden they shut it down. It was like a big gala.
And 30 minutes in what they just said were closed and everyone just walked out. I have no idea what's going on. So you have this weird conspiracy element. And then you have this traditional ghost haunting.
And even the way they tell the story, it's basically if you think about it maybe a 20 minute long movie, but it's told from three different viewpoints. So we see the events in the movie play out from three different points of view. Really, really interesting way. It's almost like someone had a generic ghost story script sent to them and said, let's spice this up.
And there's a better way to tell this story. It actually was written by the director. So I don't think he was sent to the script. Maybe he wrote the script and goes, oh, this sucks.
I'm going to rewrite it. He's a director, writer, named Stephen Cognetti. I don't think I've ever seen any of this stuff before. He has this franchise.
He has his own series of movies called Hell House, LLC. I don't think I've watched them. So I think I might go back and check them out and see if they're good as this. But Dead Wrap Radio highly recommends a 25 forest road.
I'm afraid that a lot of people aren't going to watch it because it's such a generic title. And I think a lot of people who do watch it are going to just randomly click on it and expect a generic movie and kind of be confused because it's different than so much stuff out there. But Dead Wrap Radio recommends a 25 forest road. Check it out this weekend.
Let me know what you think. Okay. So, oh, yeah, I totally forgot where we're going. Did I not do the sound effect yet?
I don't remember it. Ladybug. Stink plug potato. Let's go ahead and talk to the keys.
The world famous governor got there. We're leaving behind Ford Chan. We're leaving behind Ukraine. We're leaving behind the diamond seller.
We're leaving behind the movie review flex all the way out to a lonely country road. It's a country road in a rural area. And that is where this story begins. We're about to meet a young medic.
We'll call him Johnny. He didn't post his real name. He works on this area. He doesn't live out in this area, but this is where he finds his profession the most needed.
He works in an ambulance with a partner and they get a call. There's a man suffering from a heart attack. Okay, guys, let's get ready to go. Sounds like a ghost.
People are just having an architect. I think there's a loud ghost going towards me. Given more people health problems. The ambulance takes off down this country road and finds the man at his house.
He is having a heart attack. It's not a panic attack. It's not a mistake. They're actually like, okay.
So we're going to have to stabilize you because it's kind of a long drive back to the hospital. Okay, guys, just make sure to take care of my old ticker here. They're like, yes, that's what we're going to do. Don't tell us how to do our job.
They're all beating them up. They're like, we're the doctors, not you. So they get the patient on board. Let's call them Bruce.
They get the patient on board the ambulance and they're speeding back down the country road. Johnny is stabilizing. Bruce as best as he can. Hooks them up to the IV.
He gives them the drugs. They're doing all of the treatment stuff. And once he is stabilized as much as he can, you know, he's still he's having a heart attack, but once they kind of have that part taken care of, Johnny does start to talk to Bruce. It's okay, man.
Yeah, we got you. We got you. We're going to get you down this road. Don't worry.
Look at your hospital. Yeah. Man, it's crazy thing. You know, my heart, I get it.
It's not the best part in the world. But I just hope that this isn't my last time riding. Why did you open to my last time riding in an ambulance? Well, this isn't my last day on earth.
Johnny and Bruce are kind of talking when all of a sudden Bruce just starts talking to himself. And Johnny's sitting back there in the ambulance and he's thinking, oh, you know, I hope this isn't the end. You know, this guy's kind of talking to himself. Maybe he's his mind's wandering.
Maybe he just maybe John's like, I'm the router. I'm like, I don't know what I would be thinking. Maybe he would make me a little crazy too with this guy's talking to himself all of a sudden. And then Johnny realizes that the way Bruce is quote unquote talking to himself, there's that pause like he's waiting for a response.
And then Bruce would respond to an unheard statement. Johnny realizes he's kind of hearing one side of a conversation. But again, sick people, their brains are acting up, dying people, definitely their brains aren't working, right? This man's having a heart attack.
Johnny's in the ambulance and he realizes now that not only is Bruce not talking to himself, he's having a conversation with something that Johnny can't see. And Johnny goes, listen, I'm a skeptic. So it's not like he thought there was a guardian angel. It's not like he thought the Grim Reaper was in the car.
He's very skeptical Johnny. So when he realizes Bruce is kind of looking off to Johnny's left as if he's talking to something or someone behind Johnny, he doesn't jump to the conclusion that Bruce is having a conversation with an unseen entity. He's just kind of thinking this guy might be dying. Like, you know what I mean?
This guy's just kind of rambling at this point. Maybe it's the meds. Maybe it's the panic. But I know it's not.
It's not anything paranormal. The ambulance is continuing to drive down this road and Bruce continues to talk. But then he turns and he looks directly at Johnny. Bruce says, you know, he died in here last week.
But he said he said he was so nice. And Johnny's standing there and he's like, what does that mean? Bruce goes, that guy. That guy.
That guy. I can see him. I mean, he's dead. But he died in this ambulance last week.
The car accident. He's the guy from the car accident. Johnny. There's a certain point right where the skepticism you're like, what?
Bruce is like, he died in the car accident. And he said you were really nice. And he went on to describe details of what happened last week, where Johnny and his partner did, in fact, drive out to the scene of a car accident where a man was injured was put into the ambulance was being taken to the hospital. And in a state of semi consciousness, Johnny was talking to this man.
Hey, hold on, buddy. We're going to get you there. Everything's going to be OK. We're going to get you there.
OK. How much longer? We'll get you there. I know it's a long way.
I know it's a long way. But don't worry, buddy. Don't worry. We ended up dying on the way to the hospital.
Now, a week later, Bruce in the ambulance describes the man who died in that car accident, describes the close he was wearing at the time of the car accident, and describes details about the car accident. Bruce ends up making it to the hospital. And we don't know whether or not he survived the night. But what we do know is this story, when Johnny posted this online, he goes, you know, I am a skeptic.
I am still skeptical about all of these claims are the paranormal. But I just can't really explain this. He had some helpful questions online. And I thought this was interesting.
Somebody goes, would it have been possible for this man who was suffering from the heart attack to know about the car accident and all of that. And Johnny replied, he goes, probably not. He goes, it wasn't in the media. It was just a normal car accident.
He goes, I certainly didn't tell anybody about it. My partner didn't tell anyone about it. I mean, it's just part of the job. And Johnny goes, I don't even live in the area.
He goes, the chances of us telling the story and it getting back to this guy who's having a heart attack, he goes, yeah, he goes, I just don't think it's plausible. Sure, it's possible. But I didn't say anything. It wasn't in the news.
It's a good question though. It's a really good question because that would be a rational answer if it was on the news or something like that. But really in the world of the paranormal, what Bruce saw was that man's ghost. That man's ghost in the ambulance still riding with Johnny and his partner because the partner was also talking to the man as he was dying.
This automobile accident victim was talking to Johnny and his partner and when he died in route, out of all the places to stay behind that, he chose to stay behind in the ambulance because they were nice to him because they were so nice. Now, it's funny. I love this story. I actually just found it today.
I was looking for, I was going to do it next week. I was looking for fun stuff to talk about. I love this story, but it also has a bittersweet quality to it, right? Because imagine this, this man, let's give him a name.
Let's call him Anthony. Anthony, he's in a car accident. He gets picked up by these two people he's never met before. They're working on him.
They're talking to him and he dies in their ambulance on the way to the hospital. Imagine that being the nicest thing that has ever happened to you. You know what I mean? It is kind of sad.
He doesn't go back to his childhood home. He doesn't go and visit his loved ones or an old friend. He stays in that ambulance with those two men that he never really met, right? He met them while he was dying.
And that was so nice. They were so good to him. That is where he chose to stay. Now, eventually he may have wandered off to visit other loved ones.
But you know what I mean? It's like that's kind of depressing, right? It's kind of depressing in a sense that I wonder if this guy just wanted to hang out there because they were so nice. And now that he was a ghost, he was going to hang out for a little bit and then move on.
Or if it was really the first time he had memorable interactions with other humans where they treated him kindly. You know what I mean? Some people don't get treated well. And it sucks.
I feel like I have an overflowing cup of kindness towards me. Listen, I have my haters. I have stalkers that have tried doing all sorts of stuff, finding me. It's been crazy, right?
And that's before dead radio. By the way, that's before dead radio. Sensed dead radio. Things have actually calmed down.
But I've had people, obviously, try to harm me. I've had people try to come after me. I've had people try to do all sorts of stuff to me. Most of it deserved.
Most of it because I started to fight with them on some dark and city corner. And now what? Where are you coming to my place? Where are all these guys outside my house?
Oh, they're so rude. But for the most part, so much kindness in my life. And I'm very grateful for that because I know that a lot of people have none. I don't take it for granted at all.
I'm very, very grateful that I have so many nice people in my life. That is one of those things that I'm truly grateful because I know not everybody has that, so people have none of it. So was that who Anthony was? Was he a guy who just, not that people didn't like him because he didn't deserve it?
He just, it's not like they were outwardly cruel to him either. He just kind of moved through life. When he never got anyone to truly be nice to him. Except for when he was dying.
Except for the last 30 or 40 minutes of his life. I mean, I could totally be over reading it, right? I could totally be over reading it. He could have just been like, wow, these guys are really nice.
I'm gonna hang out with them for a bit. Then I'm gonna go visit my mom and her dreams and let her know I'm okay. He didn't even, that sounds weird, right? Everyone's like, oh, what happened to Anthony?
Oh, he died and the ghost is all hanging out in the back of an ambulance. He's all dancing. They're knocking over other people's IV bags. He's like, oh, I guess I have another ghost buddy.
Was this the first time in a long time that he had experienced any sort of human kindness? I hope not. But I, that's just was kind of my feeling from it. And like Jason, you might be going through a depressive phase talking about Ukrainian war footage.
You're talking about this. You said you're gonna tell a fun story. Then you start talking about college campus. You need to tell them all this.
I don't think I'm going through a depressive phase, but I will keep an eye out for it. Obviously. That is something that sometimes I can get really, really down. And then I do a smart thing, right?
I kind of keep an eye out for it if I start to see more signs. Stuff that I love not being interested in anymore. Magic cards, video games. If I stop playing those, stop collecting those.
That's usually a sign that. I'm starting to get depressed. But anyways, the point is it's like, yeah, I hope that's not what happened to Anthony. I hope that it was just a really cool interaction and he was one of those guys who died and goes, wow, this is what a ghost is like.
Okay, I'm gonna make the most of this. I'm gonna explore parts of the world I've never known and I'm gonna see these two cool dudes at work. I'm gonna watch them. They were so nice to me and I just kind of want to hang out with them.
And then I'll go off and do this other thing. I hope that's the case versus, wow, I haven't had anyone care about me for years. And the two people who were the nicest to me in a long time were the two EMTs trying to convince me I wasn't going to die doing their best to prevent that. But in the end, I died anyways.
The nicest interactions I've ever had was the last moments of my life. Pretty, pretty sad stuff. You know, this reminded me, you know, my dad, he used to own a crematory. I used to go down there as a summer job, work in the crematory as a decade ago when I was in high school.
And one thing that always struck me, and this is, you hear this a lot in the mortuary community, the mortuary crematory community. You got to treat these bodies with respect, Jason. You got to treat these bodies with respect because you're gonna be the last person on earth who handles them. You're gonna be the last person who handles them.
You're gonna be the last person who sees them. When you're putting a body into a cardboard coffin to load it into the oven, the crematory is probably better term for it. You literally are the last person who's going to see that human on earth. You close up that cardboard top, push it into the crematory.
What's the actual term? I totally forgot. It's not. Crematory is the place where they're at.
It's been forever oven, right? Cremation oven? Well, anyway, stick them in where you're gonna burn them up. The oven.
We'll just call it the oven. What is it called? Anyways, the point is that not that my brain is melting. Put a human body in a cardboard box.
When you close that lid, you're the last person who has ever seen that body. You push it into the oven and shut the door. And then the body will be incinerated over the course of a couple hours. When it comes out, it will be a bottle of ash.
As well as titanium, right? Did you know that you're like terminators coming out of their big bubble? I will destroy you. I'm like, ah, when you burn a human body, what you get in return is a bunch of ash as well as any medical implants.
You will pull out of these ovens. You have all the ash, the bodies burned down with the cardboard and everything else. But let's say you had a titanium hip. You had it installed years ago because your hip gave out so you have this titanium hip.
It'll come out. It'll look brand new. If you wanted to, we didn't do this, right? We didn't do this.
But if you wanted to, you could resell it. Because everything had been scorched off of it. All the blood and the muscle, all the fat that wrapped around it. It looked brand new.
You have this big titanium joint. I don't know what we did with those, actually. I think it was classified as medical waste. Looking back, I should have kept collecting these titanium bones.
I was like, did we do more business with the feeble elderly people? He's like, we already do. Yes, but can we do more? I need more for my titanium armor.
I'm walking around with the suit made out of titanium hips. Yeah, yeah. You're the last person to ever see this dude. Truly.
So treat the body with respect. Be nice to him. Be nice. Even though the soul has left the body, even though it is just a collection of slowly decaying organs and flesh and bone muscle, be nice to him.
You're the last person who will ever interact with him. So show him some respect and treat him kindly. I think that's a great advice if you're in the mortuary business. But if you're not in the mortuary business, you know, just being nice in general.
I think it's a good policy. Because you never know that person that you see that you go, hey, man, what's up? That might be the first time someone said that to him in a long time. All right, walking down the street, hey, man, what's up?
Jason, I'm the lesson man. I'm not trying to sell the guy bath salts. I don't walk around the street going, hey, man, what's up? You like to fly.
I'm not saying that you should become a bath salt salesman. I'm also not saying like I do. I talk to random people all the time, right? I'm like, hey, man, what's up?
A little less threatening. I go to the way that I'm standing at it almost feels like there's just a little tinge of me wanting to start a fight. It's not like that. Hey, buddy, how's it going?
Well, it sounds like I'm trying to beg him up for a date. I'm not trying to do that either. There are ways, you know what I mean? Because I do try to like interact with people that I don't know.
Because again, you don't know how that person's day is. So I try to spread a little bit of that niceness. And sometimes I feel that may be why the universe overloads me on niceness back because I like to be nice to just little things, right? I'm not giving the guy free coffee or nothing.
What do you think? This is the Soviet Union by your own coffee. But, you know, I may see a guy do this all the time, actually. I'll see a guy in hell have on like a cool suit or whatever.
It's a suit made of titanium headphones. I was like, oh, I'm so jealous. I'll see you guys walking on the street. He's wearing like a three piece suit.
I was like, dude, nice suit. I'm not picking up on these guys. Trust me. You know, like Jason, why don't you just get grinder?
Don't have to stay in the public anymore. I'll be like, hey, man, nice suit. And here's the thing. I compliment women as well.
I compliment women and they have two different reactions. When you compliment a man on like his clothes or his haircut or something like that or the bulge in his pants, no, I'm just joking. I'm not getting all these guys. Trust me.
You compliment a man on something he's wearing or something fashionable. They never get compliments. Men never get compliments. So it always catches them off guard.
They're like, oh, thanks, man. And they instantly feel 10 feet tall. It works all the time. And if you want their number, just be like, would you like some coffee?
No, no, it's an amen because I usually like, I don't say all the time. But guys wearing a Nike sweatsuit. I'm not going to be like, hey, nice suit. But you can tell when someone's kind of gone above and beyond for some particular reason.
Maybe it's a job interview and they're walking by. I was like, dude, that's a really cool suit. And it always makes them feel good. Women, when I compliment women, it's always the exact same response.
And I think there's an evolutionary reason behind this. I see a woman, she's wearing a particular type of clothing. Maybe it's boots, maybe it's cool shoes, dress, blouse, whatever, t-shirt, whatever. I'll go, hey, man, I really, really like your skirt.
99% of the time they go, oh, thank you. I got it on sale. Hey, I really like your shoes. Oh, yeah, I found these at Goodwill.
They're really, really cheap. I got like a good deal. These are nice shoes, but can you believe that? I was like, wow.
Hey, man, I really like that blouse you're wearing. Oh, really? Yeah, I got it. I got it on a red clearance sale.
Can you believe that? It was the last one? I think it's an evolutionary response. This is my read on it because they always do that.
They always tell me how cheap the item was. It's high quality, but what a good deal they got. I think it's a hunter-gatherer ancestral memory. Look at these berries I found.
And I didn't even have to go that far. Look at these root vegetables I found. Can you believe it? I found these and they were so easy.
I don't know why no one else picked them up. It was very interesting. It was very interesting. And I wonder if women who listened to this podcast have picked up on that as well.
Every single time when I compliment a woman on a piece of clothing or a handbag or whatever, they always tell me how savvy they were in saving money to purchase it. Guys, never do that. I have a Joker coat, a Willy Wonka coat. It's this big red purple coat that I'll wear.
And people will say, Hey, I really like your coat. And I will say things. I got it at Goodwill. Mostly to explain because it's a woman's coat.
The buttons are on the wrong side. It's totally a woman's coat. But it fits me perfectly. I don't know what woman it was made for.
She hulk. But it fits me perfectly. And I say it was at Goodwill because it's pretty obvious. It's a woman's coat.
