Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Hi everyone walk on The Mother Knows Death. Let's get started with the story of the day. This fast story is really disturbing. So a twenty six year old was taking what was believed to be, you know, a simple routine Uber drive from her job to her house, and she's on her phone, as most people are when they're riding in the back seat, and notices some movement going on in the front So she looks away from her phone and notices that the Uber driver is masturbating in
the front seat. Can you even imagine being in this situation? I was in a situation I don't know, you claim, but luckily I had luckily I had people around me. But yeah, I mean, it's so weird. I don't know how to explain it. It's just it's something that's so private usually, and when someone just does something like that in public, you're just absolutely shocked. You can't even believe what you're actually looking at. You're just looking like, is
this really happening right now? And then when you realize it's happening, you get kind of grossed out that a person would feel comfortable enough to do that in front of a complete strain, and.
Like your case with the airplane, it's like you're in a public space, but you're still somewhat in this private little section, you know. So this girl's like trapped in this car, panicking about what to do. She doesn't want to call the cops, and she doesn't necessarily want to speak up because I mean, clearly, if he's doing this, he's not right. So she's afraid she's gonna get raped or assaulted or something. So you know, she's kind of sitting there like, I don't know what to do. She
notices the doors are locked. It's really scary to be in this position as a woman. So she ends up texting her boyfriend and her mom her location, and she texts her mom and says, I'm gonna be home in about ten minutes. Can you please wait for me outside because this uber driver's penis is out and I don't know what to do.
So I can't imagine getting that call from you.
Well, first of all, you have your notifications off, so I was thinking, in this situation I texted you probably wouldn't even get it.
They'll way later. I know. I am really bad with that, but I just don't like hearing my phone.
Yeah, so you know, they pull up to the house and she had to ask him to unlock the doors, and then when he gets out, he just said thank you so much in a creepy tone, which absolutely disgusting.
So she reported this to Uber, to which they wouldn't let her know immediately or not if he was fired or banned from the app because of their quote privacy policies, which she was like, well, I certainly don't feel safe ordering one ever again in this area because what if she got him again, not knowing if he still.
Had a job or not.
But she also reported it to the police and he ended up getting arrested for indecent behavior. But the worst part of this story is that he pled guilty and was sentenced to four weeks, which in my opinion is definitely not enough time, and then they ended up just scrubbing the whole sentence.
And he got a fine.
Yeah.
I mean, if I was hard that I would be most scared that he I mean, he knows that it was her that reported I'm sure, and now he knows where she lives, and he's embarrassed. He had to well, maybe had to do some time, but not even that he just had a good accord. He'd hire a lawyer, and you don't want him coming back and retaliating because
of that. So I would be scared just in that circumstance, and I would actually love to hear in the comments section of YouTube how you guys feel about this, if you've ever had an experience with Uber or a ride share, in particular of a situation where you didn't feel safe. It does make me think of something that I've thought of before on several occasions that I wish that nine to one one somehow had a texting well so they do, so, oh okay, where because I don't know about it? Uber does, I don't.
So this case was in Australia, so I don't know if this feature is rolled out in every country that Uber is available, but in the US at least they have a safety toolkit so you can open Uber when you're on the ride, and there's a safety toolkit so you could open it, and a couple options are you could like I could share my location with you so you could follow the track of the ride, because you know, if you're in an Uber it's geo tracking your entire drive,
So that's an option. You can send it to a loved one, or there's an option to call nine one one. I'm assuming if you're in an accident. There's another option, however, to contact nine one one via a texting system. So I believe at first it matches you with somebody that works at ADT the security system, and you talk to them until you feel like you're dropped off and you're safe.
But if the situation is more severe and you feel like you're in immediate danger, they can set you up with this nine to one one texting service where it'll then give the the police department your location of the ride and follow them.
And I'm assuming in.
Really severe situations they will track down the ride and pull the car over.
Yeah, I mean that's I was just talking in general, Like I think about if somebody breaks into your house at night and you hear someone in your house when no one's supposed to be downstairs or something, if you could just text some nine one one system and say, hey, can you send an officer to my house? I think
someone's in my house. Yeah, Because once you make a phone call and you have to talk to someone, you're making noise, right, And there's probably lots of situations where you can't make a phone call because even think about that in cases of domestic abuse or something like that. It's just it would be kind of a cool thing
to have. I don't know, I always think about that, but yeah, I mean with Uber, it's so it's just it's scary because you are going in the car with a complete stranger, which is what we've been told our whole life not to do. Yeah, and you know it is.
It is really weird because you know, Uber says they do background checks and everything, and even if that's true, somebody doesn't have to have committed something in the past to commit something in the future, so we have to think about that. People can very well have ill intentioned their entire life and not have technically committed a crime or not been caught enough to have it come up on a background check.
So that's scary.
And I was even at a party last month where I had taken an Uber to my husband's work, you know, like a month or two ago, and the driver I had was fine enough, but I got in the car and he said, getting into trouble tonight, And I'm like, okay, and you know, he was an older guy, and Ricky was like he was probably just being a boomer about it, like a dad exactly. And you know, I don't know.
I'm just like, you don't understand what it's like to be a girl and just have somebody say a comment like that, because I'm like, great, this guy picked me up at my house.
So there's like, I'm Maria, Let's let's give it some context. Actually that ever since Maria was like legit ten years old, she has accused every single person in her presence of me.
But I have not accused them a stranger. I've not accused every single person, like to their face.
Well in your head, yeah, like you're always just like that person was outside of our apartment and I'd be like, well they live next door. No, they're a pedophile.
I'm overly cautious of people. So I just think, I don't know. It just didn't set a good tone for my ride. So then I mean, and then the guy proceeded to dump his entire life story on me the forty minute drive, so when I just wanted to read my kindle. So I'm at a party later that night just talking about how funny it is that the situation happened, and every girl at this party is like proceeding that.
Everybody's telling their own version of a creepy Uber story, one of which where this girl said she was a little tipsy after going out. She was being responsible, called an uber and you know, she was in this car and then he went down a really weird alleyway which is off the normal trajectory of their ride, so much so that she got out of the car in the middle of a bad neighborhood at three o'clock in the morning. It was like, I'm not getting back in there with you.
Oh my god. We need to do we have to say if we could figure out how to get phone calls and do like a creepy Uber Confessions Hour or something like that.
So, I mean, obviously a bunch of incidents had to happen for them to unroll this feature, or yeah, that's what I.
Was gonna say.
So I don't know if this, like, if you're from Australia and you take Uber, let us know if this is a feature. I even understand from her perspective, if it was a feature, just still being so scared to even you know, attempt to fix this in the car, being scared that he might turn around and assault her between the time somebody got to the car and that she doesn't know if they're going to contact him or something.
So I just think this is really scary and we don't realize how vulnerable we are in these ride chair situations.
Sometimes we're on airplane. Yes, all right, let's get let's get into the celebrity.
N Na dough Brev, most popularly known for being a Vampire Diaries. She's recovering after getting an accident with an e bike.
So she's in a.
Relationship with Olympic snowboarder Sean White, who I will say was my first ginger celebrity crush. Everw aka he is, like, so not the flying tomato. He's way vetter now that he got a short haircut. But they're always posting. You know, he's an Olympic snowboarder and a skateboarder too, so he is an adventures guy and they're always posting online about these inventurous things they're doing. So she went on Instagram and posted a series of pictures saying how it started
versus how it's going. So the first picture was her on this e bike, and the second picture of her was in a hospital with a neck brace, a leg brace and IV and everything. So she hasn't really come forward into the exact details of this accident, but we know she was involved in the accident related to this bike.
These bikes are they're kind of a misconception of a bike when really it's kind of a low grade motorcycle in a way, and people, especially like parents, buy them for their kids, and they can go up to thirty miles an hour almost, which is which is double of the fastest you could do on the bike by yourself or an average person, right, And of course, like emergency rooms and stuff are just seeing more severe injuries with
these e bikes because they go so fast. And if you look at this picture of her on a bike, it looks like she's on a motorcycle that's not a bike. It's frickin huge, so just the weight of that could
hurt you too. And then there's this other weird phenomenon going on that people aren't wearing helmets as much as they used to, so hospitals are seeing this huge increase in head trauma because people are especially falling off of these e bikes, So it's essentially like being on a motorcycle that's going twenty five or thirty miles an hour and falling off to the ground and hitting your head, So of course you're gonna have major head troubles.
The same could be said. There's these e scooters and popping up all over cities.
I hate those time.
I actually fell off one in Venice like five years ago and hurt my leg pretty bad because Ricky decided to do a flip trick right in front of me as an inexperience. And we all know I'm like the most uncoordinated person in our family, so when I had just stop quickly, it didn't go well. But yeah, they're all over cities, and you know, when you're you have to download an app. I think Lyft actually has a feature on it where you could get a scooter, and
then there's other ones. But when you are setting up the app to unlock the bike to ride around, it'll tell you to wear a helmet.
But I'm like, I'm in.
A different city. Where am I getting a helmet right now? I don't give a shit, right, So I think that's most people's atague.
Yeah, and they're weird, like the only thing I could. I just think it would just be totally improbable. Because even if you made helmet liners, let's say, and just hung them on every one of the scooters like we just saw them in LA and they do look fun. But I said to the kids, like, I can't in good conscience let you do this because you're gonna get hurt. And I can't put you on here with me, like we're gonna fall and get hurt. And this is everything I talk about all the time. We can't do this.
But helmets are different sizes for different heads, so you wouldn't even be able to really do something like that with the ride share thing. So it's just you just have to take your chance.
But it also just be worried about like lice and whatever else and just them not proper.
Well, that's why I was saying, like if they had liners, you know what I mean, but not that that would really I don't know what I'm even saying, but I think about that too. I see I saw so many people on them, and I'm just like, God, they're in the street there, you know. It just makes me nervous and probably overall, if you did the statistics how many are used a day versus like how many injuries there are.
It's probably not that bad, but the medical associations actually recommend that, especially if children get them, that they should take like specific classes for e bikes because they're different than regular bicycles that parents don't usually understand. Okay, let's get into freak accidents.
So a flight going from London to Singapore experienced such severe turbulence that one person died and thirty people were injured. So on the trip, the Boeing seven seven seven shocker hit an air pocket over Thailand and requested to make an emergency landing in Bangkok. So we like, I always
hear this term air pocket, but what is it? So according to Google, it's a disruption in the air current that could cause a plane to shake or may result in a temporary loss of attitude like total new fear unlocked.
Right, add a loss of attitude?
We had change the freak accidents to be gone fear unlocked.
I feel like no, Well, yeah, because I was listening to our local New Jersey radio today and a pilot called and was talking about these things and was just saying like he was he was making it equivalent to driving in black ice. Like it's something that you really can't see come in and it just happens, and it could be really severe and there's kind of nothing that they can do about. Yeah.
So the plane was carrying two hundred and eleven passengers and eighteen crew members, so thirty of them were injured, some of them with some life threatening injuries, mostly to the head. I can only assume based on previous stories we reported on that they weren't wearing seatbelts, which caused them to lift and smack their heads on the ceiling. And then well apparently it was when they were being
served breakfast. So there's a high probability that at that time, you know, when you're on the plane and they start giving you stuff pretty early in the morning, it's like maybe people are just waking up or they want to get up and go to the bathroom. So if the seatbelt sign wasn't on, like, it's totally probable that people were standing up and going to the bathroom.
Yeah, totally.
So, Yeah, a seventy three year old British National head was the one that died, and they believe it was due to a heart attack. So yeah, I mean they said he had a history part problems, but they didn't really determine what his cause of death was. I think they also were saying that this was one of the first cases of a death caused in the case of severely.
So I was gonna say that.
So I don't necessarily consider myself a nervous flyer, but you know, everybody's been on a flight where there's been some you know, shady turbulence situation that doesn't make you feel good.
So I've always had.
This internal peace that I've heard that nobody's ever died from turbulence. It's always just a weird thing that happens. And now, I mean, I guess maybe if this guy had a heart attack, you could say he died from the turbulence setting on the heart attack. Maybe, but nobody's ever died from like something happening during turbulence besides having a heart attack. So yeah, and they're saying, like you should in that case, like if you ever I never had an experience of that.
Hopefully I never do. But I don't want to look around at people around me to be like, is this normal, because I've only been on a plane like under ten times in my life probably, So I want to be like, Okay, looking at people, is this something that typically happens or are we about to die? Like what's going on here? But maybe you should just look at the flight attending because they're the ones that are on planes all the time.
Well, yeah, and nothing's where. When we were just flying into Denver a couple of weeks ago, there was basically no turbulence the entire flight except when Ricky was in the bathroom, and then when I was in the bathroom like two hours late, and then when we were landing, they were like, oh, the weather's a little rough down there,
so landing's gonna be a little shaky. It was like, so, yeah, yeah, I'm still gonna hold my somewhat piece that nobody's really died from turbulence besides a heart condition that might have been set off from it.
So yeah, but just because people don't die, they've had like major head trauma, concussions, brain bleeds. I mean, it's not like I could be life affecting thing, yeah, altering thing. Yeah.
So In another plane related incident in Indonesia, there was a passenger ladder against an airbus plane due to an alleged miscommunication. The workers on the ground had moved the ladder away from the plane even though the door to the plane was opened, which is against aviation rules. So inside of the plane, another worker was standing by the door, didn't realize the ladder had been moved, just innocently took a step backward and fell several feet until he hit
the ground. He's okay, but he has injuries related to it, and there's an investigation happening as to exactly why the ladder was moved, even though they're saying it was just a simple miscommunication.
Oh my god, it looks so terrifying though it's I think I looked at it like there's a guy standing right underneath. So just estimating it's definitely high. It's around twelve feet probably maybe even a little bit higher of a fall, but that's like a huge fall, and I just can't imagine how scared he was. Luckily, it happened so quickly and he didn't fall and hit his head, but I'm sure he probably has a broken leg or something. Yeah, so the whole thing was caught on video, which is
kind of nuts. But yeah, you should check the link out and click on the video because it is. It is rather frightening, all right.
Next, an Amtrak train that was heading from NYC to Niagara Falls struck a pickup truck, killing three people. The three people were a sixty nine year old male, a sixty six year old female, and a six year old male. So on my assumption, I'm gonna say it's grandparents with their grandchild.
Yeah, don't. I don't know. I did see that they identified them, but they didn't really say, at least in the articles. I saw what their relationship was. But it's it seems as if they were trying to cross the tracks and the horn was beeping. I don't know why they tried to cross the tracks, but the arms of the to protect the tracks went down and kind of trapped the car there.
Well, it seems like the arms started going down and then simultaneously the car like broke down, which is why they couldn't get out fast enough, or it stuttered or something where it couldn't get past the gate in time, and then the train hit it on the tracks. But this is actually the second accident that's happened in this small town in New York where a train where a train has hit a car this year.
I mean, it's it's like, if you don't go on the tracks, this doesn't happen. So I wouldn't even consider this to be Amtrak's no.
But like if you yeah, but like if you're just you know, if you're just driving and your car just happens to break down, like that's not that's not your fall either.
Yeah, I know, I just I think I don't know what. I don't know what happened. Like when we just drove from we were in Las Vegas and drove to Joshua Tree. From there, we were driving through like the old Route sixty six, and there were all these kinds of railroad tracks there with no sign of other lifelike gas stations or houses or anything. And it would start flashing really fast before this huge train was coming. Like luckily it was so far there was nothing around so you could
see the train coming. But I did think, like, wow, this came on pretty fast in relation to how fast the train approached where we needed to cross the street.
Yeah, like I'm wondering if it I don't know, because I'm only thinking more into it because they said there was a second car this year that it also happened to. I'm wondering if it's a case where you know you're crossing over and then the bar drops before like the sound comes down or something, which then makes you get stuck, right. Yeah, I mean that's what it seems like happened. They said
that they were stuck in between the bar. Yeah, So I'm just wondering if the car just so happened to break down at the same time, or if there was a signaling issue and maybe the bars lowered before the sound went off so they didn't know not to cross at that exact moment. It's just really terrible. They were all pronounced dead at the scene, and Amtraks reported that none of the passengers were affected or anything.
I would hate to have been just I do feel like I was on a Paco train once when someone jumped in front of it and it was like shut down, and it was like this big thing, and just being like, if you take the train every day, that's just kind of bound to happen, I feel, you know, if you're a frequent user of a train. Yeah.
I even when we were driving or when we were on the Zephyr train, there was a lot of branches along the train tracks and a couple cows had like broken out of the fenced area near the track, and we almost slammed into one, like on the side. It was literally walking up towards the train and it almost hit it. And I would have felt horrible if we hit it farm animal, let alone plowed into an entire car full of people.
It's just so scary, especially a little kid. That sucks.
Yeah, So our next one, a fifteen year old girl and her friend were wakeboarding in bisc Bay and Florida when another boat suddenly hit her and then left the scene. So the boat she was wakeboarding from retrieved her body, which was covered in blood. It was too late and
she had died. Witnesses gave police a detailed description of the boat that had hit her, which led them to this seventy eight year old man who claims he had no idea his boat was involved in the accident until police came to question him.
He I mean, I don't know. I almost kind of believe this just because of and this is just the story that his lawyer's given, so you have to always take that. But he's seventy eight, he's been boating for like fifty years. He doesn't drink alcohol, and when there's video footage of him pulling up to the dock and everything after the accident happened, he pulled his boat in and it was in plain sight of everybody to see
and kind of like strolled around like nothing happened. He wasn't trying to hide evidence or or looked panicked in any way. I mean, but he's he's an older guy, and maybe that's part of the problem, you know what I mean, Like, we know some people that are seventy eight that are really sharp and some that are like
really old. So maybe you know, that's why they don't put in writing what age you have to take someone's driver's license or boating license away because they may not see well anymore, or just may not have their it may not be as alert as they once were.
Yeah, Like I was just I'm trying to think of all angles because I'm like, boats are really loud, right, so if people were screaming immediately, would he even be able to hear them? And then are their policy is as far as driving close to other boats or was the boat that they were wakeboarding from following policy. I'm just really curious what they're going to find in this case.
Yeah, like I would think if there's boats where people are getting off the boats and either swimming in the water or wakeboarding or anything, that there should be a rule that moving boats should be nowhere near those. They agree with it, because this would happen off the right, Like was there a speed limit and you wasn't going to speed lit Like, I don't know. I'm not familiar with I don't know anything about the boating world. I
am interested in it. We went on a boat in Cape Cod a couple of times, and we went on the fire boat and it was so awesome and I was like, if I lived here, I could totally get into this. It's kind of fun because it's cool, like they have restaurants there that you could just leave your dock at your house and go to the to the restaurant and get food and go back and never have to go on the street. It's just kind of that super cool, like another way to move around. It's pretty cool.
This episode is brought to you by the Grocery Room. Only once in a while, I put the grocer Room on sale, and this time has come. It is a Memorial Day sal and it is going to be only twenty dollars for a year of gross and in the grocer Room I started it back in twenty and nineteen. There are thousand of posts, videos, photos, articles written by some guests. There's just so much information on there. Lots of audio too as well. And Marie and I actually
have been doing mother nos Death. We did about fifty episodes before we even came on the air to you guys. So if you're interested in listening to any of that, it's just so much stuff. It'll keep you busy for hours and hours and hours a day. And we put out new stuff every day, so you can go to the grossroom dot com and the sale starts. When does a sal start on Sunday? On Sunday? Yes, and we will see there. Let's get into violent crime.
So in Brazil, a woman has been sentenced to jail for about four and a half years after cutting her husband's penis off and fleshing it down the toilet. So this one's a doozy, so buckle up. After learning her husband had sex with her fifteen year old niece multiple times, the woman then learned her husband to bed promising him.
Quote.
By the way, the age of consent in Brazil is fourteen years old. So at first I was thinking this story was like your sex predator, so I'm going to cut your dick off, But this article is painting it out to be it was just an incident of jealousy. So she tied his arms and legs to the bed with her underwear, turned the lights off, and then bust it out a razor and cut his dick off. She said she flushed it down the toilet so surgeons couldn't
reattach it. And shockingly, after the trial and she was sentenced, they made up.
Yeah, this is just a pure story of like how do people live? Right, this lady looks insane. You could tell she's insane just by the way her eyebrows look. Okay, if you look at the article, she just looks like you don't want to mess with this stick, right? But I mean when I we actually covered this story, Ray, I don't know if you remember when it first happened, when we were doing the podcast in the gross room, and now she just got sentenced recently, and that's why
we're talking about this again. But of course my first thought is like, okay, a grown man's having sex with a fifteen year old. Good. I don't care, like, yeah, I don't feel bad about this, But the legal age of consent is fourteen years old in Brazil, so that sounds like a brazil problem. And it's actually terrible for women that live in Brazil because I'm sure they're getting young women especially are getting taken advantage of all the time by older dudes like this. But I love that
she flushed his penis down the toilet. I mean, that's that's just pretty amazing. And she had it thought out because she didn't want it to be able to be reattached. I mean, she's she is, like, she's kind of a crazy person. But even more of a crazy person is the next story. Yeah.
So in the next case, police in Grand Junction, Colorado got a call from a local hotel from a hysterical woman saying she believed her boyfriend was dead, but could not provide any more context.
On what happened.
So police get to the hotel and notice there's blood all over the bed. They said his naked, a naked, unresponsive mail was lying on his back with his feet under the bed, so they started to perform CPR on him and then noticed that his penis was missing and it had apparently been cut off his body.
He also had a stab.
Wound in his leg, so he was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers found then a Quote severed penis in the trash can inside of the hotel bathroom. So the woman told an officer that she and the boyfriend had previously got into an argument because at first he wouldn't let her go to sleep and she had threatened to
stab him. Then the next morning she thought he had maybe gotten her pregnant again and they were arguing about the paternity of the baby, to which she then stabbed him in the leg and then cut his penis off.
So she said, throughout the day.
He started getting cold and was worried he was gonna die. So you know, she went to the store. She bought rubbing alcohol, antibiotics, and beer, but she said she forgot to buy bandages, like I don't think that was fixing this situation. And then after he started getting more cold throughout the day, she gave him ibuprofen, water and Quote greens and then he eventually died. So she was arrested and charged with second degree murder.
This is actually so psychotic, like she stabbed the guy and everything and then she kind of kept them, tried to keep them alive a little bit, and while he was suffering and bleeding to death. It's and that doesn't happen either. Well, I lie, if he gets stabbed in the leg in the femeral artery, that could happen pretty fast, But I don't know where the stab one was. I
don't know if it went into a major artery. But even amputating the penis, it wouldn't cause someone to bleed to death really fast like it would if you cut off somebody's leg or arm or something like that, or slip slit their neck. But I just don't I don't see, like I feel like she's seriously having some kind of mental breakdown. Went to the store alcohol on that that
probably felt real great. I can't even imagine, and just I mean, just think about you know, you're in CBS and you're and you're buying tampons or something, and the girl next to you, you just see, oh, she's got a guy at the hotel room that she's buying alcohol for to put on his penis that she just I also imagine.
Her putting one little normal sized band aid like over the area and then like walking in on that scene of just this tiny band aid like covering where she just cut his entire penis off.
It's well and think that's the first thing I thought of when I heard of this story, Like these poor cops and first responders just walk into this crazy shit, like what like all the time, we hear it every single week that they're just walking into these crazy situations. And I just the story is even weirder because if the guy got injured, like why didn't he try to call nine one one when she left? Was he did he lose that much blood that he just was too weak to move?
Or I mean, you don't know, maybe he had some mental things going on, or yeah, maybe he was too weak and he couldn't move, or she made sure like the phone was disconnected.
We just don't know what was going on. They were in a hotel, right, so I mean there is a phone.
She might have disconnected it, like you just don't Also lengths she went to.
That's like another thing too write, So you're what happens in hotel rooms that you don't even know about? So did these people leave? You know, she gets arrested, he goes to the morgue. You have this big blood spot on the floor because of a penis bleeding out, And what do they do just rip up the carpet and put in a new one, and then the next you know, they're running it out like the next week or something.
So actually, when we were in Vegas, when we were on the elevator, two of the cleaning people got on with us and they were just like clearly exhausted, and you know, Ricky just has to talk to everybody, so he was like, oh, do you guys see some wild shit? And they were like, you have no idea what we see here. We could write novels about stuff.
Oh, I know, in Vegas especially, I can't even imagine. They said, just I'd actually really like to know some of the stories they said just that morning, because it was Sinco de Mayo the day before that. They were just like, we just found They're like, so many people were so beyond blackout drunk the day before that. They found like underwear and ice buckets and just like really weird stuff in people's rooms. Oh my god.
But I would love to read a book written about what they find. I think that would be so interesting.
Yeah, cause it's just you hear all these stories about even I don't remember what it was, some like older rockstar bon Jovi or like one of those kinds of people. I don't know if it was specifically them, but just like getting these hotel rooms back in the eighties with these crazy parties and like having live animals there and just like just just complete mayhem like and then you have to think, like some poor persons coming in in
the morning and having to clean that up. I feel terrible just because my hair falls out everywhere or something. And they probably loved getting just like normal rooms to clean up after all.
Right, So our next story. In nineteen ninety eight, a teenager had gone missing in Algeria during the Algerian Civil War. When he never returned, his family believed he was just simply a casualty of war, although they never had confirmation of this, and his mother believed for the rest of her life that he was still alive, maybe even close to them, and she died in twenty thirteen without any answers.
So now, at forty five years old, twenty six years later, he has been rescued from a neighbor's house only six hundred and fifty feet from his family's home. I know.
That's so. I mean, it's a good story, but is he is he okay?
Like, mentally, I doubt he's okay if he's been kidnapped for twenty six years and.
They said they found them under hay or something. Yeah, so a sixty one year old man was arrested in connection with the kidnapping. Somebody, This is what's kind of unclear to me. Somebody who knew the suspect posted on social media saying they believed this guy was involved in the kidnapping, which then caused police and the family to
go to the property and look for him. So I'm kind of unclear how the association was made or if he was at the house and saw something where it was like a year's long, this guy's a creeper, blah blah blah. You know.
So anyway, they go to the house and they found the guy in a haystack in the backyard, and when they found him, the suspect tried to flee the scene, although when they first arrived, he seemed really calm and collected.
Well, think about this, a grown man is kidnapping a teenage boy. Like, nothing good is coming of that, right?
No?
And what I don't even want to think about what that kid's life was.
No, and what's even the weirder to add to the story is that the family of the victim their dog was constantly sniffing around this guy's property and then one day showed up dead from a poisoning.
Yeah. I and it's weird that the family didn't kind of pick up on I mean, maybe they did. They could have possibly even searched around there and just been like, why is this dog always on this person's property. It's a little wit I think just when you're in.
A level of grief like that of losing somebody, just really obvious signs just go by you. And there also just has to be this complete disbelief that it could quite literally be happening in your backyard.
It's such a shame, and it's more a shame that the mom died before getting any peace with this. Yeah, but I mean, at the end of the day, at least he's been rescued and hopefully he could go through some treatment to try to have somewhat normal quality of life after this. Yeah.
All right, So our last violent crime. Last week, an investigation uncovered that an HIV positive sex worker made contact with over two hundred clients after a positive diagnosis in twenty twenty two.
I have a lot of questions about this because they're trying to say that this person figured out that they were HIV positive and they were still continuing to be a sex worker. And I don't know what the rules are because now a days, there's anti retroviral medications that they can lighten your load of HIV so much that it's not even detectable. And let's say a husband and wife are together and the husband as HIV and the
wife doesn't. If they're on the proper medication and their viral load is so low that you can't detect it anymore, they're considered to be safe to have sex with each
other at that point. So I'm wondering if she was diagnosed two years ago, I'm assuming that she hasn't gotten any treatment for it, and that's why they're still considering this to be That's why we put it in the violent crime section, because this is you're giving someone a disease that could be deadly without letting them know about it, especially when you do know about it.
Yeah, So they determined through phone records that she was in kind with at least two hundred and eleven people in business transactions with them. So now they're working to contact all two hundred and eleven individuals that may have been affected by this, and they're encouraging them to all be brutally honest. So they could, you know, follow the line of exactly how far this is gonna go.
I just don't. I don't really know why this is much of a story. Like, if you're having sex with the sex worker, are you assuming that they that they're like really clean and safe? I mean there has to be some level of You're you're having sex with a person that you knows have sex with so many people that there's a certain level of risk associated with it, right, Yeah don't. I don't really, I don't. I mean, it's messed up if she knows about it and she's doing it,
But like you shouldn't. You really shouldn't be having sex with a sex worker without protection.
Yeah, I agree with that. I just yeah, I don't really, I don't know. I guess there's a lot more to this. Maybe we don't even understand yet, but yeah, maybe I don't.
I don't know. I'm just kind of like, isn't isn't not like because they also said is not why it's frown.
They also said this sex trafficker, this sex worker came. They found this sex worker because she was part of a sex trafficking organization. So I'm sure there's a lot more to have to do with this, which is what makes the criminal charges.
So all right, medical news, all right.
An NYC law student is claiming her addiction to eating cheese got so bad that she had to go to a six thousand dollars per week rehab. So in twenty eighteen, this girl says she started craving cheese and binged on the quote cheapest bricks of white cheddar and parmesan almost daily. Although I'm gonna like, let's take it in perspective for
a second. She said she used to buy her cheese out Whole Foods, which if you're looking's if you're looking for the cheapest cheese, you're not going to Whole Foods. So she started off her addiction with white cheddar and parmesan almost daily. She said she would just straight up eat the block of cheese with her hands and let and eventually was eating five and a half blocks of cheese per week, which is so much, so she rapidly gained weight until she hit one hundred and seventy two pounds.
I guess her normal weight is around one hundred and twenty three pounds, which she's now at now. But she had stopped menstruating for five months during her binge and became at risk for type two diabetes. It got so bad that her mother sent her to a reheb in Hilton Head, costing nearly six thousand dollars per week to treat the eating disorder.
This story just reeks of what you would say privilege, right, like, oh, you went to you went to Hilton Head for a couple of weeks. That's six thousand dollars for retreat because
of your gourmet cheese addiction. Like it's serious. And the reason that I'm even more annoyed is because when you look at the article, there's like these weird pictures of her all over it, like lambed up, like like posing with cheese and then like with her dear bag and the cheese and stuff, and you're like, you kind of suck, lady,
and she really does. But there's this doctor who authored a book called The Cheese Trap, who he wrote that cheese contains opiate opiates that attached to the same brain receptors as fetanoyl or other narcotics, and you actually could get addicted to the caseyin in cheese, and it's called a dairy like a dairy addiction, but they will call it like a what do they call it crack? They call dairy crack, dairy crack. Yeah, so yeah, I don't I don't know. I just think this, but don't worry.
She took ozempic and lost the fifty pounds and now she only has it when she's stressed out.
Yeah, this story just freaks a bullshit to be so like, I don't know.
Yeah, well you got an article on the New York Post, So this.
Is what you you really want to be around for the girl that went to rehab because of geees. Like people, it's it's giving desperate onto the next. I don't think we covered this on Mother Nose Death because of when it came out in September of last year. I know we did on the grocer Room podcast, but a tenth grader had died in September of last year after eating the Pockey chip as part of the One Chip Challenge.
So the challenge god for participants to eat this chip and then see how long they could go without consuming other food and water. It was really to see how well you could tolerate the spice level. So now the autopsy results are in saying he died from eating a large quantity of chili pepper extract and also had a congenital heart defect. So what are your thoughts on this?
So sometimes a tenth grader is like cow old, it's fifteen, fifteen, sixteen. Yeah, so there's sometimes that kids that are teenagers might have a heart defect that wasn't bad and off their entire life. That clearly like they made it to tenth grade without anybody knowing, So it's not it's not like they can't live with it, but something can trigger it that could make it cause death, like in this case, this capstation that's used with these chips, these extra strong chili powder,
that's causing these people to get really sick. This isn't actually the only person that's gotten sick of doing this challenge, which is why they eventually pulled it off of the
market at this point. But he was born so when they did the autopsy, they found that his heart was big, or he had cardio megle, and he also had a condition that was called myocardio bridging of the left anterior descending artery, which normally the coronary arteries are above the heart muscle and in this case it's within the heart muscle.
And obviously the kid's been living with this and this has been fine, and maybe if he didn't have any kind of super traumatic body events the rest of his life, he could have lived with this and lived to be an older person. But or even had an issue where he went to the hospital and they detected it and were able to repair it. But in this case, it was it seems so innocent because it's a chip, but
it's it's trauma to your body. I mean, do you I had we went to that restaurant for Gabe's graduation and I had you know how they gave us two things, a horse radish and one was like a creamy one and one was like the high octane one. Well, I had the high octane one by accident. It's essentially like
was sabi. I took such a big spoonful of it though, because I thought it was like the water down one, and it gave my body, like the weirdest reaction, like my nose was burning so bad, and I was like, oh my god, if that feeling never went away, I would I would want to die. It's like terrible, like I felt like I was drowning underwater or something. And this spice could have the same that kind of effect on a person and on their heart, and it was
just too much for the heart to take. And in the literature they said that this capstation can cause toxicity and caused the schema eschemia to the heart muscle, which is death to the heart muscle or like a heart attack essentially. So maybe if another kid had something like this that didn't have an underlying heart defect, But like you're marketing these towards kids, they're all stock.
So they came out and said they the labeling says it's not for children and not for people with underlying health conditions, which how was this boy supposed to know he had an underlying health condition?
But it's on TikTok. So they go to the store.
Exactly, It's kind of what we're talking about with vaping, Like their labels say it's not for kids, but their marketing really isn't saying the same thing, especially when you're turning to TikTok, which is primarily used by children and gen z and younger.
It should it should be locked up behind like with the cigarettes. Then, I mean, really, how do you if it's just in the aisle with with like lazed potato chips, because it was I saw it before this happened, because my kids actually pointed out to me and said, oh, that's the on chip challenge they showed me when we
were traveling last year. They could have bought it, yeah right, I mean, like, I mean, it was just there on the counter with everything, especially if you're like a little not a little little kid, but if you're like a kid or a teenager and you're out by yourself without your parents there, and you're at like the store and you might just be like, oh, I'll just grab it. It happens very innocently. They don't understand the severe effects
this could have. So I understand, like the company did what they're supposed to do, which is putting out on the label. But do you think a fifteen year old's gonna give a shit what's on a label when all they see is not even a TikTok challenge and all their friends are talking about it. They just want to be cool and do the challenge exactly all right. Next, a husband and wife were having sex when the husband
noticed discoloration on the wife's flulva. She immediately made an appointment with her doctor, who suggested she go to the hospital, fearing she might have cancer, and after four biopsies, she was told the lesions were pre cancerous and slow progressing. So the best part of this story is that it's so cute because they're like an older couple and she's like, I haven't looked down there in a long time. I
love it. So yeah, he was just like, ah, something, they'll look right down there and they buy upsted in. She had what's called VIN or evolva into epithelial lesion, which is it's the same thing that you can get in the vagina on the cervix, and it's due to HPV changes and when you have viral changes in the cells, it could start making them look a little bit funny and it could be pre cancerous changes that eventually, if
you don't get it treated, can turn to cancer. So most of the cases of VIN are caused by an HPV infection with a higher risk of HPV and hopefully she's able to just get it treated. And usually if you go and get treatment, then you're good, and they'll do testing too to see if it's a high restrain
of HPV or a low restrain of HPV. And but it's kind of cool because if she wasn't going to look down there for another couple years, right, it could have eventually turned to something a little bit more severe, either like a higher inner epithelial lesion or even cancer. So this is say see something, say something, husband, Yeah, I.
Do want to say I don't think we stress the importance enough of our sexual partners. If you notice something's not normal in these areas, like I don't have the flexibility to bend down and really look up in there, and a mirror.
Can only show you so much.
So if you see a mole or anything that looks weird, it's definitely better to say something and have it checked out than just be like, ah, maybe that's whatever you know for sure? All right, our next one. A new study has come out suggesting it may be beneficial if people wait longer to pull the plug on life support.
This is kind of my favorite story of the week because it's it's something that a lot of people have to deal with, is you have a loved one and they either they get injured or they're all or whatever happens, and they end up going into a coma and then they go on life support and they come to you and say, Okay, your family member is on life support right now, they cannot live on their own. When would you like to kind of pull the plug and end
their life? And this study, so this study was done by the Journal of Neurotrauma, and it included three hundred and ninety two traumatic brain injuries, and of these they compared eighty patients that had severe injuries who died after life support was withdrawn, so that's when the family decided to pull the plug, and then eighty similar patients whose life support was not withdrawn, which would be me somebody that's like, I'm not I'm not pulling the plug ever, right,
So they did want to emphasize that most of the patients whose life support was continued still ended up dying anyway in the hospital within about six days, but forty two percent of them, which is a lot in my opinion, who continued life support eventually recovered and they either had some degree of independence after their injury, and some of them even went on to have a completely like resume
their normal huge number. I know it is, and it's it's like, oh my god, now, I mean I don't I kind of regret ever seeing this because now if I'm ever forced to be in this situation, I'm going to be like, yeah, but incently, I'm not going to ender to wait even if it ends up not being like you'd rather wait and see if it works out then just be like, well, I guess this is it. Yeah.
I just it's just sad because you're like, well, how many people decided to do this because they were told to do it and then like maybe they could have recovered.
Yeah, I mean maybe with this study and some more additional research, the kind of qualifications for it will alter over time. That's a huge number of people I know.
And and and when they say, I mean you don't want your family me, because sometimes they'll come to you and say like listen, even if they do survive, they're going to be a vegetable their whole life. And they say things like that, and you're like, well, I don't want to do that to my loved one. Of course, that's you don't want to do that. But they're saying that some people like completely resume their regular life, Like, oh my god. Okay.
The EU has opened a formal investigation into Meta over concerns that it isn't doing enough to safeguard the mental and physical health of children who use Facebook and Instagram. This is not really surprising to me.
Why is it only in the EU? Why is it in America too?
Because everything, like, think about everything, think about processed foods, for example, in Europe, they have such strict regulations over there about what can be in the food and everything that we have seen over studies over so many years that they have way less health problems associated with things like that, And you know, it just kind of shows that they care a lot more about people over there physical and mental help, seeing as they put their resources into checking these things.
Yeah. I mean, I don't know, you might be able to talk to people over there that might disagree with that, but I see what you're saying. I just think that, you know, how like the World Health Organization got together for the whole COVID situation, Like, why why isn't this considered a public health crisis as.
Well, really just because we have different calls in different countries.
So it's yeah, I mean, I just we talk about this all the time, and I mean it's like all I could say is kids are fucked, Like what else? What else could you say? At this point, it's it's not going away, right, So we're gonna have to teach
the kids how to use it. But just we you know, we have kids now that are nine and eleven years old, and it's like we don't we're not getting them phones, but they have iPads and this and that, and they're getting to the age where they want to text their friends and this and that, and we have to sit them down all the time and say, like this is forever on the phone.
If you send a picture, you sent a talking about a couple of stories ago. So like the girls don't have TikTok, right, But how did they know about the one chip challenge? Because somebody they know will always know what's going on on the internet and bad things going on, right, so you have to think of just that.
Yeah, or they just put it on YouTube or whatever. Like I mean, it's it's the same, it's all the same thing. They yes, exactly. They knew about it. They heard it in school wherever. Like they also heard about the Kylie Jenner lip challenge, which we know that one of my kids did that with the stupid water bottle,
and like, I can't but this is I know. But it's just like you can't teach their own because think about when you were a kid and your parents were talking to you and you were just like whatever, Like I was so scared of you that I listened everything. Yeah, well, you're not normal with kid because because that's not normally
how kids react. But I think I don't know, And this wasn't really an issue with you when you were a kid because it wasn't as much as but now it's like kids could send stuff now and it could affect them in twenty years from Loudly, they don't understand how Like it's the same thing we talk about with boomers on Facebook. They don't understand how the internet works. Oh my good. Literally they don't understand that like everybody could see everything that they're saying and doing and stuff.
It's like we're in this weird situation of life where we're sandwiched in the middle of two generations that don't understand how the internet works.
Kindly interesting when you put it that way, because it's like you think a sixty year old that has lived life would just grasp the concept, but they just cannot. And it's funny to they don't see them with a ten year old child's brain.
And if you talk to any friend. I think I was talking to Aunt Kara about this and they live in Minnesota and her mother and stuff, and it's just like you could talk to any person that has parents that are on Facebook and they will all say the same shit about like, oh my god, my mom posted
this or this, that and the other. The best story is that we have to tell the story about mo Mom and her bras I was gonna say, I was gonna tell about there's a lot of there's a lot of stories with mo Mom, but the one with the bro I was gonna talk about fuck Tiery. No, Oh, you could talk about that really quick.
That it was some post that was like change your first name to the word fuck and the first four letters of your last name to fuck. So I get this suggestion on my feed with my grandmother posting fuck fuck Tiery instead of Beth qual Tiery. I was like, what are you doing.
Now all the time, and it's and and like, got my, it's somewhat something I don't know. I don't really even understand why how Facebook works, is why I don't use it that much. Talk to any single person that has parents that are on Facebook, and they probably all, well, we'll share the story with about the brother. Yes.
Wait, so mama, like whatever, you get notifications for any activity somebody you're friends with does.
So we get a notification that she's she's gonna kill us for saying this.
I'm sure I'm gonna get a text MFM me in a couple hours after we drop this. So then we get a notification that she's listed her bras for sale on Facebook Marketplace. So we're like, what are you doing?
Yeah? And and actually that's another thing that my father in law did too, Like you list stuff on Facebook marketplace, right, and everybody that you're friends with can see what you're selling, so which they don't think about that. Actually it's actually there is a box you can click when you're listing something on Facebook Marketplace that says hide from friends. Yeah, but they don't know that shit, they would never do that. So it's like your your idea for the for the
Instagram called Boomer's Gone Wild is just genius. So you really you could get submissions all day long because this is Beth. We love you so much, but your Internet behavior is out of control. And it's it's not just those two things. It's like we we screenshots ship to
each other every day. It's like me and Maria and Louis have a text group text because all like I even see it, like in my town Facebook group, it'll be like tiger friend that does this, or did you remember this when you were a little kid, And it's always shit that like I don't even remember the toys, so it has to be geared towards like sixty year
old people and stuff, you know. And then they're all commenting underneath, and you read all the comments underneath, and you're like, oh my god, do these people know that their first and last name is attached to these comments? Really don't?
They just don't get it and they and they also don't know when they troll on our Facebook page that I also can see their name, So maybe be a nice person adult troll us in the comments, thank you anyway, So yeah, they're getting investigated. They're kind of just gonna check out the you know, a couple of years ago, this whistleblower came forward saying that they knew that there was all these problems with younger people and behavior associated with the apps, and they said that wasn't true and
all this stuff. Oh, but they're gonna take a deep dive into their back end and look at their algorithm and their suggested content. I've spoken about this many times that, like, I don't necessarily consider myself to have a problem with the way I look right now. But when I was a teenager, you know, as most teenage girls do, I was very self conscious about my appearance and that I would be constantly being fed ads about making my stomach
flatter and taking weight loss drugs and dieting. And I don't really appreciate that, considering I've never really googled that stuff, and I think I look okay right now. So like, and I'm like, is it scanning my pictures and telling me I need to be skinnier or is this just their fucked up way about going about things.
So it's just it's just like, listen, me and Gabe send videos to each other on Instagram back and forth, all day long and it's cats, plants and baseball, like all the time. Both of our feeds are just filled with that, Like it's just like you just get what you look at and the whole like listening to you.
I mean, people can't even deny anymore that they listen to you through your phone. But there was even an entire storyline on suc Session about this where they had a similar app and they were gonna make some motto called We're listening, and they were like, we can't put we're listening because then they'll know what's going on behind the scenes.
Yeah, exactly. Well I was gonna say that too that there's this Netflix documentary which I think everybody should watch. It's called like The Social Experiment or something, you know, I don't remember the Social Project, I don't know, something like that, but it's about Network, which is the movie No No, No. This is like a documentary about social media and kids especially and people that run that work
for these companies and run these companies. In the very end of it, after your life is totally ruined from watching it, at the very end of it, they're like, would you does your child have social media? And they're like, no, I would never let them get it until they're eighteen. Like every one of them says that it's so crazy. The people that created it and that are living like billionaires off of it say that. So Mark Zuckerberg, for example, like, do you think that his kids are going on that?
And if they go on it, they probably have their own special version that he codd himself, you know, like they get special treatment in it.
Also, I don't know.
I'm honestly not surprised by this at all. I wish the United States, well, the United States is taking some actions towards them, but it's just taken a lot longer here.
So whatever.
I could talk about this for hours, but I'm sure people don't want to hire.
Out for kids do a whole and like I get so pissed off about it, really, I just do. I just don't even want to talk about it anymore. All right, let's talk about other death news.
Our last story today is local to us, and it's absolutely crazy. So a few days ago, no news broke in our area that a few cars and human remains have been pulled from the Cooper River in Camden, New Jersey. So my friend Rachel actually sent this to me first, and I had no idea this was going on. And then I sent it to you and you're.
Like, which I was sitting at the softball field talk
you were like, I'm all over this. Yeah. Yeah, so it's it's because it's what ten minutes not even ten minutes away from our house, and yeah, it's like, oh, we pulled a couple of cars out of the water and one of them had human remains, And you're like, okay, what And then when you hear the story, which isn't one hundred percent official yet because officials have not given a statement on this, but what happened was basically, this woman went missing fourteen years ago that lived in Camden
and she had a history of depression and it was thought that she that she had possibly killed herself, and the family went to the police to try to find her. They knew what car she had, and like, she never came up and neither did her car. Like they just totally fell off the face of the planet. And of course, like your mom goes missing and stuff, you're going to fight for years and try to find out where she is and what happened, and like, is she still alive somewhere?
Did she die, Is she okay? Whatever? And the police didn't help at all. So they ended up hiring this really cool organization that I ever heard of called the United Search Corps, and these people got together with the family and well, secret, we're probably going to interview these people soon so we could get more detailent on exactly how this went.
I spoke to Doug this morning to try to get him on the show. He was an absolute sweetheart. So we're gonna hope to try to We're gonna manifest their interview with them on this show because their organization is absolutely incredible. This story is really incredible. I'm really excited to hear about, you know, the background, how he got to have this job, other cases they've worked on, and
especially how they led to this. So, I mean, we now know the We don't know officially because they're waiting on DNA and everything like that, but we suspect that the one vehicle and the remains belonged to this woman who was missing. But where did the other two cars come from? Well that's right behind the pub and stuff. It's like the sketchiest area ever.
Yeah, you know, I'm talking.
I know exactly what drives I used to drive. So, but I used to drive by there every single day when I was going to school.
Yeah, it's like there's always murders happening, I'm certain, but so I'm not surprised that that that happened in that area. It's just it's kind of cool to know that there's an organization out there that that will listen to you and will help you. Yeah. So, I mean, and we don't know the story behind it because like the authority is of being a little hush hush about it right now because they probably feel like a little dumb that some company found this car in the water with human
remains and was like, Hi, you can come now, job's done. Yeah, so and assuming that there was barely anything left, just skeletonized remains at that point after being in the water for fourteen years, but they definitely know it's her car
with her license plate on it. So, I mean, I guess there's a small you have to for forensics and everything do DNA just to confirm, but it's it's a great story for the family at least that they have closure now because just imagine, like we always say this, if one of your loved ones dies, it would be horrible, But it'd be even more horrible if they were missing and you didn't know what really happened. So I can't even imagine.
Okay, So on to Question of the Day. Every Friday at the at mother nos Death Instagram account, we put a little question box up in the story. We even put a little box up yesterday asking for suggestions of guests. You know, this show is tailored for you, guys, so we want to know what you want on the show. So first question is what is the best part of working in a hospital pathology lab. First, let's say that a lot of people said they want to Gabe on
the show, and we just want to know. Y, Yeah, like what he could be on the show if you want, But like, what are we going to talk about?
You know what we could talk to him about? Actually, because we wrote in the grocer Room yesterday this is a good article if you guys are interested in joining for our sale, which starts on Sunday at the grocerroom dot com. We wrote an article about spontaneous human combustion and he was actually helpful in uh some of my theories as to why I didn't think that it was possible for that. You weren't taken.
It didn't take a whole day to explain it.
It did. He's he's the worst at explaining things. But I did. I did text him and got the answer out of that I wanted out of him, and it only took maybe a half hour instead of five hours. So yeah, we will. We would have him on here if you have some questions you would like to us to ask him or just talk about random fire stuff or whatever. But so sorry, I wasn't listening to what's your question.
What is the best part of working in a hospital pathology lab?
Oh, listen, everything's great about working in a hospital pathology lab, except working for a corporation like a hospital. I mean, it's just great. It's you work. For the most part, it's like some of my my best friends forever I I've worked with or went to school with, And it's like such a weird little part of the hospital because we don't have the same thing in common, like if you work in radiology or you work in nursing, on the floor anything, it's like you all have patience, you
all have the same kind of thing. And when we go it's just we go in the lab. We don't see patients. We just see each other where it's very dark, sometimes there's no windows. It's just like a different kind
of a vibe. And sometimes you work with a really great group of people because lots of times they're like really weirdos, which is cool because it makes life interesting and you just I mean, some people you work with are always going to be douche or whatever, but you just you normally just get to meet a really great group of people. And just seeing pathology every day is just is just so cool. And then being able to figure stuff out when people are having problems and help
them get a diagnosis and stuff. It's just really it's just really rewarding and it's a great job and it's a shame that it's ruined by a corporation. Bullshit.
All right, Next, Maria, what's your favorite thing to do with your sisters? Well, I was Prince Tea. Yeah, we go there the Prince Teahouse, which is a chain of tea places opened up near us. So I like to take them to do that. That's really fun for I mean, I took Lillian by myself for the first time, and then you and Lulu came the next time. So I like doing out, all four of us, because we could just all get our little pot of tea in a little dessert and just talk. And that's always fun to
hang out. I love the occasional nights when I come over and watch movies and Lillian gets so hyper that she reads the word loser.
As lost or she was so annoying.
She was extra annoying that day a couple of weeks ago, I took them to play pickleball, which Lulu had absolutely no interest in participating in it all. But Lilian, like me, is very uncoordinated, so it was just hilarious trying to see he hit the ball. But yeah, I just I
like taking them to do little fun I cactivities. I used to when they were younger, take them to the movies, but they just never really see that into it, so they'd probably be into it now they're a little older, Yeah, because they really.
Like going to the movies now.
Yeah, I also feel like they just think they're too cool for me sometimes, so that's that.
But well, they're just cool in general. They're at that age where you have to like knock them down a little bit because you're like, you're just not cool, Like, yeah, I just have to keep telling them they're not. I would say my favorite thing that was going to the tea place because that's something that Mo Mom took me to do a couple of times with the Deity, my cousin when I was little, so I like doing it
with them. It reminds me of being their age and mom I taking us to that place in Haddonfield, but it being like a slightly better selection and having more fun desserts. So that place is good. They have such good green milk tea. It's oh my god.
Yeah, the rose tea I got last time was awesome. Their desserts are so good. I get some like coconut panacatta with strawberry ice cream.
It Yeah, that's delicious.
All right. Last question, Nicole, how have you changed as a mother from Maria to the current kids?
A lot and then not a lot. Really, I definitely like cook better. Yeah, Maria unfortunately was you know, I was a single mom when I had her, and I wasn't really making a ton of money, so we ate a lot of just you know, like she said, mactt. We had we had our favorites like pastine, mac and cheese ham steak. I didn't know how to really.
Cook at McDonald's dakhove.
Now I don't even think we had I don't even think Chick fil a was well that was really there was the one in Defford, so it wasn't near us, but if we went to the different mall, we would get it and that was like the ultimate treat.
And then we got that one in Audubon, so then we were having it all the time.
I don't think there was one at different mall. There was in the yeah, oh yeah, yeah there was, you're right, yeah that we used to get that, but that we didn't. Yeah, there wasn't one around, so we didn't get it that much.
But like, yeah, I mean she she just was kind of like I would get down from work at six o'clock and then drive her at to her after school program and pick her up, and we would stop at the grocery store or stopping a food or something Boston Market whatever, like it was just kind of really fast. So now I have more time that I could like cook better food and stuff like that, And I mean that's kind of it, Like what do you what do
you think? Like we still do the same stuff, like we like watch movies and stuff, and I do their homework with don't just like regular stuff. I mean, Maria was pretty good about doing her homework by herself. She just was a good kid and like did what she was supposed to do.
I jokingly refer sometimes that I got you during your fun phase because you were in like your early twenties, so meaning that like you would be more willing to take me to concerts and be out late or like pick me up from somewhere too in the morning. And I know you would do that for them now, but I feel like.
No, I wouldn't. I am not like when they sit there and say, oh, can we go to the Tayler Swift tour, I'm just like I would rather give you five thousand dollars.
Than good and well that would be my worst nightmare because I absolutely don't want to listen to her music. I would take them to that, like I would be the one to take them to do things like that, Whereas when I was their age, you were young, you were.
My age, Yeah, I mean I took I took you, yeah, and I took you to places like that all the time, because that was like, It's just weird how you change as you get older, Like when I was your age, I had no problem eating dinner at nine o'clock at night. Like if a reservation was available at nine, I'd be like, oh cool, like let's go. I don't want to, Like I want to be in bed at nine o'clock at night now, and I want to eat no later than
five point thirty. Like This's just there's certain things like yes, I'm really not fun anymore, to be honest you, but there's like stuff like that that's just different because I'm a way older person, like I did. I didn't have Lilian until Maria was eighteen years old, so it's just I'm so much older now and there's just like different things. I'm I'm married now, so I have like help with that,
and it's just there's just different things. But overall, it's we still do the same traditions like we watch we have movie night and and things like that and we go down the shore. Just yeah, you there's not there's nothing like different in that.
From my perspective, you are pretty similar with them. We just also had a different situation, which I understand, you know, like they they live in the same house their whole life. We moved a lot, like you know, I kind of kept to myself and you respected that, where like sometimes like they need a little more guidance in that area, especially because there's two of them.
So like if they're I didn't.
Have anybody to like fight with, for example, So like if they're fighting, you got to step in and stop it, and you got to be kind of more on their ass a little bit than I had to be.
So there's just yeah, but it's it's kind of the same though. Like it's like we like, especially when Gabe has work at nights, like we will watch like a series of a show or something we just had, you know, the same with you, Like we had our things that we did all the time. And it's it's basically, from my observation, the same thing with like little things adjusted
just simply based on life circumstances. So I would say, it's it's funny that your motherhood style has had it really changed in a twelve year or twenty year difference. So well, it worked out well with you, so I figure I'm thinking to change things up too much.
No, all right, guys, well, thank you so much. We'll see you Thursday for our next episode.
