Hi.

Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. On today's episode, we are going to be talking about police who are waiting for a man to poop out evidence of a major crime, a couple who decided to leave their child alone to go on a ride at Disneyland, a super glue prank gone wrong, and homemade sex toys. So let's get started with celebrity news, all right.

David Crumbholtz. He is most well known for being in the Santa Claus movies Ten Things They Hate About You, and most recently Oppenheimer Bernard Bernard. So, Bernard is claiming that he almost died after a bad reaction from smoking weed.

Okay, so this is called cannaboid hyper emesis syndrome. Have you ever heard of this?

No, And I would never be able to pronounce something like that.

It just hyper emesis just means like throwing up a lot. It's not okay, it's nothing, it's nothing crazy. So I think I had this once. Honestly, it happens. It happens if you, they say it most commonly happens if you smoke weed a lot. And I had a part of my life that I was smoking with like every day there for a while. Yeah, and so it caught. It's like a really weird phenomenon. And they say it's rare, although I don't think it's as rare as they say it is, because it's happening more and more and more obviously, like the stronger the weed that comes out. But they say, you know, when you smoke weed, you have the THHD molecules buying to your brain and that's what makes you get high. Right, Well, that the effect that that usually has on the brain actually is usually anti nausea. That's why they give weed to people who have cancer and are undergoing chemotherapy because it helps with that. But they're saying in some people who smoke a lot of weed, it just messes up those receptors so bad and the brain may stop working in that respect and it just causes nausea and repeated vomiting. It just it really sounds you're just like okay, whatever, but like no, it's really really bad. It could cause like severe dehydration hospitalization. And do you want to hear the weirdest part of this? What makes you feel better? What is if you take a hot bath and it makes the symptoms go away, or a hot shower. It's really weird. And they don't have an exact test to say like, hey, you're having this, but that's one of the things they say. If you're having this and then you take a hot shower and it makes it go away, then you more than likely have this.

Yeah, And he did say in an interview from a couple of months back that he had been spending He said he spent ten hours at a time in hot baths to relieve the symptoms because that's how bad they were, and he had lost one hundred pounds.

I guess he had one hundred pounds to lose. Yeah, I mean, I guess. I don't.

I don't really know. I haven't been following him. I know him as Bernard and then I saw him recently in Oppenheimer. But it seems like this was all going down when he was in the middle of filming that movie.

I was just talking to the kids about this this morning, because they were talking about that drink. You know, they watched their YouTube videos and they tell me all this stuff that they think I don't know about this drink. This drink that got banned from Panera. We talked about it on one of our first episodes, the Charged Lemonade, The Charged Lemonade, and I was trying to explain to them how in general, there's caffeine and the tea that we drank, and there's you get bubble tea. There's caffeine in it, right, but it's and coffee, and in general that's usually safe for most people. But then there's these these other products that are coming in which because companies find the loophole, like caffeine's legal, so we're just gonna like make it the highest number possible, and that's what they're doing. And then all of these kids we were talking about this recently that I had come across this this written paper about all of these case studies of kids that were going in with heart failure and even death in cases, and a lot of them were consuming all of these energy drinks because these companies.

Are making it like cocaine in a can.

Yeah, exactly. And the thing is is the same exact thing is being done with weed, and it's just being made at these levels that like it's not oh, this person grows it and is smoking it. It's just like these genetically modified crazy strains with these high levels of THHD and everything. So of course, like all emergency room doctors are saying that they're seeing more cases of this as long. I mean, I think that enough information is coming out right now to sit there and say that all weed that's a in the United States right now is safe. It's just completely not correct. You have cases of this where this guy survived it, but I mean, you could in theory die from this from severe dehydration. And really the only cure for this cannaboid hyper emesis syndrome is that you stop smoking weed. And that's a really important thing that people need to know, like, once you stop doing it, it'll stop happening. But we've had cases of people with psychosis underlying psychological conditions that people don't know about getting worse because of using these higher levels of THG and everything. So these stories are important to tell because so many, I mean everyone smokes weed. I smell it all day long everywhere, so which is alarming because I usually smell it when I'm in the car picking my kids up from school, which means that people are smoking it in their cars because I'm on a highway. Well, I think it's fucking ridiculous.

There's just this false sense of security with it, that it's this like ultra safe thing, and it's just, you know, it has dangers, just like alcohol and any other drugs would as well. And I mean, I think it's safe to say that it probably was a more safer thing back in the day and now it's like, okay, it's the same with It's scary too, because I was trying to get one of the drinks that that Lulu likes that Starbucks has, like one of it's one of those caffeine drinks.

I didn't even know what it's just called a refresher. How would I even know it? Yeah, I looked at Now I'm like having to look at the ingredients of things to see. So it's just and it's being like slipped into regular life. I mean, do you think the word refresher means that there's caffeine in something?

Their refreshers have always had caffeine. Though that's not surprising to.

Me, I know, but like that like I don't get them though I don't I don't know, you know what I mean, Like, I don't it just to me, like if it's said energy charger, I'd be like, Okay, let me see what's in this.

But I guess you're getting it at an establishment where all of the other drinks are caffeinated. So that's probably why you should look into it. Because Wama has drinks too that aren't called coffee or tea or obvious caffeinated things, but they have coffee. Like the lemonade at Panera was called charge lemonade. Would you assume the charge means it had that much caffeine in it?

Yeah, I mean, I guess that's the thing, because even with Starbucks, you know, even though the things have caffeine in it, Like if my kid had Macha, I wouldn't be crazy about that, but if it's three times the amount, that's when I start to worry.

So, but you could argue that Macha has just as much caffeine as coffee, like you think that, like black tea has just as much caffeine as coffee, and I just I just do not think. So I do not feel the effects the same way. I think it's proven that it's not as much, but you feel the effects of it stronger.

Well, there are certain teas that have just as much caffeine as coffee in it. But these are just like it's and like we're running off topic. It's weed whatever. It's still just you just have to be careful and just don't assume like that that's going away. Finally, because there was like this hardcore movement of like it's safe, it's safe, and now all this shit's coming out obviously, so thank god for that.

Yeah, well, thank god he was filming Oppenheimer because he said it was like his dream role and this was all going down during that and it almost prevented him from being in the movie. So it just like finally pushed him to quit. So at least that's good, you know. And he was pretty good in that movie. So I didn't even say it yet. It's really good. You should watch it, okay, I will, all right.

True Crime. This is a doozy in Florida.

This guy goes to Tiffany's and acts like he's shopping for this Orlando magic player. So they bring him to this room probably with their finest selection of jewels, and of course, the second he sees them, he steals two pair of earrings.

It runs out the door.

So the earrings are worth approximately seven hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars. Cops pull him over later down the road. They can't find the ear rings anywhere because he swallowed them. Well, this is really the best part of the story. The cops couldn't find the ear rings and they were able to arrest him because he was trying to run away from an officer, but they weren't able to charge him for theft because they didn't have the jewels. This fucking moron goes into jail and says to one of the staff members, what am I gonna get charged with? What's in my stomach?

What does that? First of a well a moron.

First of all, he only got booked for resisting arrests, so I'm pretty sure like they couldn't arrest him for the theft, so moron, So if he just shut his legs, So then they're like, what did you just say? And they give him a scan and then they see the foreign objects in the scan.

Okay, Like then he he's overheard by a trooper saying I should have just throwing them out the window. No, yeah, you should have, Like you could have went through your own shit and got rid of them. Nobody nobody's checking your shit when you're in prison, right, They're not like going through your turns in the toilet, So, like, what a fucking moron? He is really stupid.

But then again, when you you know, see his rap, Shady is forty eight outstanding warrants in Colorado. He was charged with another robbery at a different Tiffany's in Texas a couple of years ago.

What is this guy doing? I don't know, but he's not good at it.

Well, he's not good at it, and they're like, now we have to wait for you to poop them out.

I guess he would have. So if he got arrested, I guess he would have. They would have eventually seen that he's had these warrants and they would have been able to keep them.

Yeah, but he probably still could have kept his mouth shut, shpit him out.

And then sold them. Well if he shot him out in jow though, what was he gonna do with them? I don't know, So I'm saying like he I mean really like he might as well just flushed them down the toilet at least, but at least, I mean, he wouldn't have had them, but at least he wouldn't have got charged with grand theft and like, like, let's go back to the beginning of the story. What fucking more on tiffany employee bought this story? Yeah? Really, like really think about it. This guy is a multiple time criminal forty eight outstanding warrants and robbed a Tiffany's before, and he's pretending to be a representative for an Orlando Magic player and you just like believe him at his word and let him have access to that.

Furthermore, if you have these these jewelry, this jewelry that is, you know, each set of earrings was worth over a couple hundred thousand dollars each, so you would think that they're in a separate room that has more security, so in the event when you present them to the person, they can't just so easily run out of the store with them.

Do you think that the employee was like involved somehow, or I just could think power people are so fucking stupid that like this really could have just happened, or yeah, the employee could have been involved, because if this is the case, I just there's something not right about this, because I'm sure that something like this has happened multiple times that people go in and try to pretend like they're they're somebody. They don't. You don't have to have any kind of credentials. You know, maybe we should go next week and say that we're Bryce Harper's representative and we're gonna go get like come on. It just sounds silly like that they would even allow it. The thing is, I think Atlanti Magic players make that much money that they could be buying a six hundred thousand dollars pair of earrings.

I mean they work in the NBA. Yeah, they make a lot of money.

Do they know it doesn't I don't. Nobody watched NBA games anymore.

Uh, you're mistaken, just because the Sixers absolutely are blowing up.

So it's just so it's just specific to Sixers that people don't go to the games.

This Sixers have balls asking for their own stadium when their tickets right now are first out for four dollars, like get a life. No, there is definitely a big market for basketball. I just don't think we see it in particular because our team really sucks right now.

But yeah, I think think about this.

You can't go into Tiffany's and they can't pretty woman you essentially because of the way you look or anything like if you and I went in there and you were like, I want to see one hundred thousand dollars pair of earrings, they can't look at you and be like you're poor because we might be billionaires for all they know. Look how current billionaires dress. They dress like shit. They're always wearing like stained white T shirts and sweatpants. So you can't really judge somebody based on that. But at the same time, if you're gonna be showing somebody something that valuable, there has to be an extra step of security involved, meaning like you go in a special room or like a safe in the back or something, and they don't have like armed security guards. They are most likeas have security guards.

That's why I'm like, I don't understand how the story. And now this has happened twice because this is the second guy the time. This guy's doing this, Okay, something just doesn't seem right.

I don't know if you are even going to a designer store in the King of Prussia Mall, they have security at a I.

Know, right, I'm like, when you go in Gucci, they're like, what are you? What are your intentions here? You know, like, and I don't know, I just wanted to try on sunglasses. I'm sorry.

And Gucci certainly has had things for sale that are in the one hundred thousand dollars range, but not at the King of Prussia Mall. And think you wouldn't just be able to run out the door with it.

Yeah, I don't know. Something sounds a little shady with this, It really does all right.

In Disneyland, this mom is sitting with her kids outside the guardians of the Galaxy ride, and then she notices this stroller is just like parked behind this wall with a blanket over top of it. And then as she's looking at it, she sees that the blanket on top of it moves and realizes there is a child and they're just left unattended because it turns out his parents just parked them over to the side went on the ride.

You know, I was thinking about this when I read this story. There's either parents like me who want to go accompany my twenty nine year old daughter to the bathroom because I'm afraid she's going to get kidnapped, or it's like the complete opposite extreme where people are just like, you know what, I want to go on the ride. Disney World's kind of safe. I'm just gonna stick my kid over here and put a blanket over them and like let them take a nap while we're on this ride. It's like there's no in between. It's just like either extreme. I just can't fucking believe this. I can't either.

But I'm kind of roping it in with the parents that have children that are, you know, under ten years old, and they go to Disney World by themselves and not bring their kids. I think it's the same weird selfish thing, like the kid probably didn't fit the height requirements for this ride, and they were just like, this isn't our problem.

We're just gonna stick it in the corner. Like Disney is the best place to go for circumstances like this, because they will let you and your kids stand in line, and then they'll let want the husband go on, go on the ride, get off, the wife go on, go on the ride and get off, and they'll let you like you don't have to cut back go back in line. They let you stand there and wait. I know, they're like very accommodating to people that have children. So it's just because they wanted to go on together that they left the kid alone, and I'm like wondering about this. I know that this woman put of course, she took a video of it and posted it on TikTok, which is kind of amazing. Honestly, she went and got a cast member who went over and saw that there was a kid there, and then they got security and went and got one of the parents off the ride, at least one of them. But like, is that the end of the story, because I feel like that's kind of alarming. This isn't like, oh, you better get off the ride and go get your kid. Like no, I would call the fucking police. That's weird.

You can't just hide your kid behind a wall. Who First of all, it is still out in the open. It's not like it's like totally.

For multiple different reasons. Like let's say the kids somehow got out and just wandered off and went into one of the little waterways they have there. Number two, let's say somebody kidnapped the kid just took the strollery. Three, the kids out in the sun in freaking California, like unprotected. I mean, a blanket isn't certainly protecting them from sun damage.

It's just like I don't think the blanket was there to protect them from some damage. It was probably to hide the fact the kid was Yeah, it's it's like, it's really fucked up, honestly, and it is. It's just a very weird situation. How stupid are you to do something like that.

The weirdest part is is that Disney has a policy that says that, now this isn't writing. For their policy, all children must be supervised at all times under the age of seven, I must be accompanied by a person fourteen or older. Like, why does that have to be in writing? Because they've had this happen before, right, I'm sure this happens. Why does an adult that has a child need to be told that their child needs to be monitored under the age of seven? Do you know how often I see children under five years old just roaming around in the mall, on the boardwalk at a park, no parent insight. Yeah, I saw kids. When we were driving home from the other day with the kids picking the kids up from school, there were kids that were very little, like seven years old, and I guess they were going to school or going to a bus stop. I don't know where they were going, but they were crossing Route one thirty by themselves, and I was like the whole time, I just I almost wanted to get out and be like, let me walk across with you right now, because that road is infamously known for pedestrian accidents and deaths. But I'm thinking, like, how are these little little kids crossing this highway right now and there's no adult anywhere. It's I don't know, Like I said, there's no in between with me.

Well, my husband too, is always like mind your business. And it's like one of those you know, like they always say like when you're a woman, you have maternal instincts before you have a baby, and a man like needs to be holding the baby when they feel their paternal instincts. I'm like, if if you had the same instincts I have right now, you'd understand why this.

Is a problem. Yeah, But he's just like margin your business, Yeah, he's And that lady that posted that video on TikTok got like a million views on that video obviously, because most people are are are repulsed by that thought. Yeah, it's just and you're and it's not like what are you thinking? It's kind of like, well, when else are you not attending to your child when else you're leaving them alone.

You know how they said with DUIs like somebody probably drives drunk eighty times before they're caught. I feel, yeah, it's kind of the same principle, it's just the first time they were caught.

Let me say this though, Guardian of the Galaxy is a good ride. It is a really good ride. And do you think it's because I didn't even know that they had that? Oh, they didn't have that at the park we went out at Disneyland, right.

It was on the other side. I think we all decided we picked the wrong side because we went in the classic Disneyland, not the adventure Land side.

I don't really understand. Is it like another park like Epcot or something.

Yeah, remember when we went in, we went like left, but you could also go right. There was two parts.

Did you have to pay separately for each one?

You could get a park copper pass from one to the other.

Well, whatever, Like, we didn't go on it when we were in California. But is it the same ride in as Epcot in Disney World. I'd imagine it is.

It might have like a slightly different storyline, but I imagine it's yeah, like that, that was a really good ride. So yeah, it doesn't justify uh, neglecting your kid, but yeah, yeah. This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room guys. So we have last week reality this week, Ruby Frank if there's no breaking deaths this weekend. And we also have a really bizarre case involving shrapnel. So that is a really crazy case. You have to see the pictures to understand that and read the story because it's really nuts. We also do this game in the Grosser Room that's called what is It Wednesday? And every Wednesday I post four photographs.

One of them is a fake special effects makeup and then the other three are just injuries that people have gotten, either self injuries or homicidal injuries. They're not always dead, just inflicted by another or accidents and even natural disease too, and you have to guess what caused this person to get this injury. And it's fun, it's not that serious. But we do have prizes. You could win a signed book or some merchandise from the Grossroom, so it's really it's a really fun game that we play every week, and it's fun when people anticipate and hilarious at some of the things that people guess as their answer. Yeah.

Head over to the grossroom dot com for more info into sign up. Okay, let's get started with medical news, all right. A couple of months ago, this couple gave birth to their son. So throughout the pregnancy they were told that everything was normal. But after the sun was delivered, they were really shocked when the baby did not have a right eye and his ear was on his right cheek.

What is this condition? It's called golden horror syndrome. I've never heard of it actually, so it's pretty rare. It's an abnormal development of the eye, ear, and spine, and it generally only impacts one side of the body. It can, however, affect the kidney's, lungs and nervous system as well. So they were completely unaware of this. I'm not sure where what did this happen in America? I wasn't really sure if this happened and they had the traditional prenatal scans and the anatomy scan and everything, because I feel and I'm not really sure this is something an ultrasound tech might have to tell us with a routine ultrasound at twenty to twenty four weeks for an anatomy scan, can you see defects of the eye and ears. I feel like it's pretty significant that something should look abnormal. We had this discussion actually in the grosser room a couple of weeks ago. I did a post about three D ultrasounds and we were talking about a patient that had a three D and a forty ultrasound and had a cleft palette diagnosed with their baby. And really, on one hand, you say, well, what's the point, Like they can't really do anything about it. The kid's gonna come out and whatever. But some of the reasoning behind these scans is not because they can really do anything for the parents. If they can't do anything in utero. They can sometimes, but for certain conditions, including this one, I don't think that they would do any kind of surgery in utero. But it is helpful for parents because they could be mentally prepared for this happening. This was this parent's first time having a kid, and they just thought everything was going to be normal, and it wasn't, and it was kind of very shocking and upsetting. And it's not even the kid's appearance that looks unusual, but it's also the kid needed surgery right away as soon as he was born, multiple other surgeries, has a tracheotomy, we'll have to get surgery to move his ear. We'll have to get prosthetic eyes for the rest of his life. And if you find this out when you're, you know, six months into pregnancy, it makes it a little bit easier to process over three months and get prepared for how your life is going to change. Instead of just one second it's fine, in the next second it's not fine. Yeah, I mean, it just sucks.

I am curious too if it's detected on normal ultrasound.

He said something that was weird in the In the post, the dad said that he was so overwhelmed that he went to the toilet, oh to pray, And I thought that was a weird terminology. That doesn't seem like someone that lives in America would say. Maybe you would say went to the bathroom. You don't usually say I went to the toilet, Not that it couldn't be said here. I'm just curious and listen like this might be a possibility, Like one of our listeners who does ultrasound might be might say, like, we can't see everything. I just think it's kind of if you can't see that there's there's an eye missing and that the ear is at a different location. I feel like the ultrasounds sensitive enough to pick up certain things like that, so I don't I don't know there. I mean, let's say, for example, when I was pregnant with you, like, I had an ultrasound very early on, and that was it because there was no such thing as three D and forty ultrasounds. But now I think they do anatomy scans. It's just more common nowadays. And I don't know if that's something that's done everywhere.

Yeah, like when you're pregnant, you have to get all those scans or they just recommend it because what if they did it to go to the doctor wants If you don't want to, you don't have to.

They're not gonna nobody can make you, but you should. Yeah, I mean, that's they There's definitely studies done that all of these complications that happen, and including fetal death, is because of people not having proper prenatal care. So the best thing is is for both the mom to walk in and know what's going to happen and the doctor also knows what's going to happen, because the doctor seemed to be shocked too when this baby was born, and it was like this scramble of oh my god, like we got to get this kid in surgery right now. And there's a certain part of having children that you just can't predict everything. There's always going to be something that the kid comes out and you're like, oh, surprise or whatever. But we have ten achnowlogy now to pick up a lot of this stuff. So it's kind of curious about it.

Yeah, all right, So this guy was at a family barbecue. He said that he got drunk and fell asleep on a hammock and he didn't have a shirt on. So while he was asleep, his wife's brother bent over him and put super glue in his belly button.

This is like kind of a funny story. Honestly, it sounds like something like it sounds like a dude's joke, Like you would you just hear people doing dumb shit like this? Yeah, I mean it.

Definitely is like like what I am curious, Like, I mean listen, like it's like, why would you do something like that?

But you see that all the time, like kids. It's it's it's just an immature joke. Kids putting a sharpie on someone's face while they're sleeping, or whip cream all over their hands so they wipe it on their eyes when they're sleeping. Like this is just people do this stuff. I think what happened afterwards is what's a little crazy.

Yeah, so it was an immature joke. But when he woke up and noticed it was in there, he couldn't get it out.

He had to go to the er.

He had over two thousand dollars in medical bills because of it, and then you know, the guy was pretty pissed about it. He asked his brother in law to pay for the medical bills since he did the prank, and then the brother in law said no, so he took him to small claim score. And now there's like a giant riff in the family.

I mean, listen, I think like, if you wake up and you don't know it and you have glue in your belly button, you're gonna be pissed. And the guy, but the guy kind of created I mean, after this happened, and I know this wouldn't have happened without the brother in law doing this. But like he kind of created his own medical problems. This is not a hospital visit. In my opinion, the super glue in your eye is a hospital visit. Super glue in your belly button is like no. So he he tried to take it out of himself, and he was ripping his skin and couldn't get it out, and then that's when he went to the hospital. But when he went to the hospital, they said they used solve it and ointment which is acid tone, which cost a dollar and a and d ointment which cost four dollars, and they left with a medical bill of two two hundred and fifty three dollars. I feel this is somebody he could have done himself. I could have so.

Easily googled exactly way how to get it out.

I don't know. But then yeah, so I'm like, you don't have a wife that knows that. Now, Paula's remover, like will melt this. I just think like if you just pour acid, lay down, pour acetone right on top of it, within five minutes, it's gonna get all goooy and just get a paper towel and wipe it out and then end a story. He wasn't even a needed ointment because the skin only broke because he was trying to rip it off. Yeah, and his wife's family thinks he's like completely overreacting, taking the brother in law the small claims court and he won.

He did win, by the way, in small claims court, but the brother in law.

Is still not paid him. It's just so idiotically the whole thing, like the whole thing is messed up. Like I but I'm just kind of like he was playing. He was playing a joke. I don't know. I don't think he was intentionally like trying to do it, but I guess you could say at the same time, well, why should he have to pay for it if he was just sleeping?

No, I think that I do think that the brother in law should have to pay for it, or at least give him some money towards it, because he put him in that situation.

But I just think, yeah, I partied him halfway and say like, I'll give you half because I did it, But you're a fucking moron for going to the emergency room for this.

Yeah, exactly, Like both parties are wrong.

So I don't know.

I think it's ridiculous, and I would argue that this might lead to divorce, because how do you get over as a wife, how do you get over your husband taking your brother to a small claims court? What if Gabe took Louie to small claimscore over something like this.

Gabe was actually telling me some stuff about some people that he's friends with that there's like all this craziness in their family like that, and he's like, yeah, their Christmas dinners must be real fun. And I'm like Jesus, like we're pretty lucky in that way that there's like relatively low drama in the family like that. Yeah, but yeah, I mean it's just I don't know, like it would just suck. I'm just thankful that my husband and my brother are friends exactly.

All Right, this forty five year old woman had a hysterectomy and not long after the surgery had a serious complication. So can you get into more detail about what went on?

All right, So she had they didn't say why she had a hysterectomy, but she had a laparoscopic hysterectomy. So they go into your belly with cameras and then some tools to cut and they kind of snip snip snip around your uterus and then pull it out of your vagina. So the top of your vagina has a huge hole in it and they need to sew it up in order to close it off. And when you get that surgery done, they say that you're supposed to wait eight to twelve weeks before having sex. I think we had a story in here, it was either in here or in the grocer room recently, of a woman that was in a car accident and her intestines came through that opening. Do you remember that, Yeah, I think that would. I know I definitely posted it in the grocerroom, but I also think we spoke about it. It talked about it here. So this woman, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but she had this hysterectomy. And so when this this incision that gets sewn up the hole at the top of the vagina, that's now called the vaginal cuff. And when that opens up, because because it's not healed correctly, because the sutures have somehow ripped apart and the tissue hasn't healed, it's called vaginalion de hissiance, vaginal cuff to hissiance. So when that opened up, she went So that just opened up and they didn't really say why it opened up, what happened that caused it to open up. But she went to the hospital and she got it fixed within a week. Now again, once it's fixed, you got to go back to that eight to twelve weeks. You can't have sex because anything pushing against that. Just think about if you had a wound on your knee that was futured. If you touch it and you don't let it grow together, it's going to constantly be weak and rip apart. So she had sex within one week of having this surgery done. Not only did it bust open the sutures again, but to make matters worse, the guy that she was having sex with was wearing a condom and the condom was missing. Okay, nobody knows where it's at. They're looking frantically for it, can't find it. She goes to the emergency room and they do a CT scan and they say that she's got fluid in her pelvis. So they didn't ask for it to try to get out the fluid and nothing came out, and they're like, you know what, We're just going to do a laparoscopy again just to make sure. So they're going to stick a camera and again and just look around to see what's going going on. So essentially what happened was this guy busted through the top of a regina with his penis and opened up that incision, and then the condom came off inside of that opening, and it was inside of herpelvis. So what looked like it might have been an infection on a ct scam was actually the condom with some infectious fluid around it.

This is just my opinion, but I almost feel like it had to be an assault or something because as a woman, how would you in just getting this major procedure, how would you possibly even be in the mood to have sex.

Now, I don't think it's a sexual assault at all. Listen. So this is the beauty of the gross room. So in the gross room, I post. I usually put a question at the end, just to spark some conversation with the members, And I said, is there anyone here that or anyone you know or yourself that has had sex when right after either having surgery down there or having child giving child birth, Because the same goes for childbirth, it's not as long I think you're supposed to wait six weeks after having childbirth, and within an hour of posting that we had four comments, So that's what we have as of as of recording this. And one of the members said that she had sex the day she came home after having a c section with her first baby because she had so many emotions and she didn't really know what was happening and she just wanted to do something that felt normal, and she said she immediately regretted it. There were other people that said they had sex right after having something like this done too, So you would think, like, oh my god, I just feel like I got beat up and like the last thing I feel like doing is that. But there's plenty of people. That's how people have these like Irish twins that end up being like a couple weeks apart, yeah, you know, or like not not even a year, a couple weeks apart, but well like less weeks between pregnancy intervals. I should say, so, yeah, that's how that happens, because it happens all the time. I'm sure the one that happened previous to that was probably because of sex too. And it is like a long time to say to wait eight to twelve weeks. It's it's a long time for some people, you know, they just don't want to wait, and especially.

If you're sex and other weight, like, yeah, isn't it just not having intercourse like you could have oral or yeah, yeah, you can't exactly, like just exactly, it just is worth it. Even one of the members in the gross room was saying that she did wait the amount of time that she should have, and then she said that her partner felt the sutures like with the head of his penis still. This was after having a hysterectomy.

Oh wow, So she said overtime because you know, the sutures disintegrate after a while, so she said, overtime it went away. But even then she said she was very scared because she's like, if he could still feel it, maybe it's not closed all the way yet. And like the case that we talked to a few weeks ago was the woman she didn't hers it and open up from sex. It opened up because she was in a car accident, which is that's that's one of the reasons that they tell you that, you know, maybe you shouldn't drive after surgery. Obviously anesthesia complications too, but you don't want to like pop your your sutures open if you get in a car accident. So it's just it's just really interesting. But could you imagine like how terrible that was now so she had to get it done again, and and now it's like it keeps ripping open, and it's you're just making it like more likely to keep happening because it's not healing, right, you know. Yeah, all right, let's.

Up with this Women's Health article about they're calling homemade sex toys, but it's really just finding objects around your house to get off on.

This is a very thorough article. It's just like any person has at least one of these things in their house.

Yeah, So they're basically saying it's a great option for people who are wanting to try new ways of getting off and they want to experiment with objects, and it's cheaper than buying designated sex toys. But I think if you've ever listened to this show before, you can know the danger the dangerous territory people can get into when they start using objects that are not necessarily designated for sex play. But what they're offering and.

They're giving ideas, they do actually make mention in this article because it would be completely irresponsible to be like, this is stuff that you should put on your penis or in your vagina, Do not put it in your anus because you need special sex toys designed with flair bases so you don't have a problem. However, I think you're giving people ideas to use things that they might not even have ever thought of, and people will definitely be sticking it in their.

Ass, yeah, because a couple of things they had. So the first thing I mentioned was a massage which I guess it melts into a massage oil.

But I feel like, how's it not burn you? It says it's designed to not get that hot, but like how I don't know?

So I'm like immediately like this is I'm gonna be like total negative Nancy on this, Like I'm like burns. The next one is a shower head that's like I guess, yeah, I mean that's fine. I guess a handheld fan.

How that just sounds like a glitterius amputation waiting to happen, That's what I'm saying.

Electric toothbrush, I'm like that one is fucking gross because like people live, I have electric three electric toothbrushes in my one bathroom that we all share.

I don't want to think about anybody sticking them anywhere on their body because somebody's gonna use somebody else's, right.

Obviously you're not gonna use your own and then put it in your mouth.

It's just it's just like there should be a clear distinct line between things you brush your teeth with and things that you put on your generals.

Then there's ice that that could do sorotic. The most ridiculous to me is sofas or armchairs, like dry like sofa arm chair.

I don't know, Like I like how they I like how they had socks and they were like, fill the sock with lotion, so it could be very experienceable, uh, pleasurable for a man with a penis like, like you're so you're telling this guy to just fill a lotion with lotion up in a sock and jerk off with it. Like it. Well.

They also said wooden spoons and silicones.

For spanking, and I'm like, or you could just use your hands like that. I guess, like this is what I'm getting at. You want to get a little edgy or use the silicon spatula because it has harder edges.

I think the edgiest uh of suggestions is a the handheld fan and dry humping.

Your chair in your living room.

I don't know that whatever, Like people could do whatever they want. But I just feel like they explained everything, like item by item what you should do and the precautions and everything. But I feel like what you're saying is you're giving people ideas they wouldn't have had before, and they are safe fools designated for this.

They have this whole section on using a cucumber and again they advise not to use that in the anus, although I've received several of them working in the laboratory from the anus. But they're saying that you should always put a condom over top of any kind of produce because it could break. It's just I just don't think lacking them. I think they're lacking in like writing material or something. Just like imagine these people having a meeting, their their corporate meeting, Like, Okay, we're gonna write this article. Let's like talk about this. Let's walk around the house and see what we could use as as an item.

I understand maybe everybody doesn't have money to buy a sex toy, but like, you also have hands, so like, we don't have to be sticking undesignated items in areas where they maybe were designed to go, because you're just asking for problems.

The fan's weird because it's just like, oh, it just gives you like a breeze, like an erotic breeze, Like so does an air conditioning bent. I don't know. It was just get this article is a little bit of a stretch. I'm pretty sure everybody. But one of them was really weird, the one with a silk tie, like, oh, you want to play around with bondage. And then one of them was a pearl necklace and they link. This is the funniest part. They link all of these items that you could buy, even though they're supposed to be laying around your house. So if you're going to link an item to buy, why wouldn't you just link a dildo? Okay, whatever, but you're put they put fresh water sterling silver pearl necklace. I'm pretty sure that that's going to cost, like an actual real pearl necklace is going to cost way more money than a sex toy. You could get a sex toy on like fucking Timu for five bucks. Probably Also, like they're not homemade.

So when we first when I first pap on this article, I'm thinking it's gonna like teach you how to like take a ceramics class on how to sculpt your own bildough right.

Like it's like those those five minute craft videos.

Oh my god, don't even get me in a way. That's my favorite page ever, but it's so infuriating.

When they like the one that I saw recently was like this girl holding like this big sausage, but I think it was supposed to be like a cell phone holder. That's what she ended up putting. You know, she used like the gypsum stuff and made her hands around this sausage, but she was like making it look like it was going in her throat, like she was like sucking dick, right, And then all of a sudden, like she takes the sausage out, and she's like, no, like your cell phone could or your curling iron could fit in there, and that wasn't supposed to look like that.

My favorite is when they're like, no earrings. Just take these tampons and cut it in half and then use the string as the hook.

And you like would walk around with tampons hanging out like what about the people that have like platform shoes that cut like a little door into them and they put like money in them, or I think they put tampons in it once, like oh, can't carry a purse when you're going out for the night. Stick your tampon in the platform of your shoe.

Wait, there's another one they do that's my favorite. That like it's like are your shoes too small? So they'll purposely make the person put their like small toe. Then they'll like take a marker and color their toe to match the high ye Like so stupid it is.

But like we keep watching it. It's just like the see there are the meetings I want to be involved in because I think at first they were doing like actual crafts where you were like, oh, cool, you could do that in five minutes, And then they were like wait a second, Like now they sit around and they're like, what's the most outrageous shit we can do. It's just it's like kind of creative and really great, and you just watch it. It's a nice distraction from all the craziness that goes on in the world.

You know, they must make so much money. I think when they were doing their legitimate crafts. It was outraging people just because they we're stupid. So then they were like, we're just gonna fully lean into this.

And I just I just saw a similar video today where there was this guy that was teaching like a pottery class, just regular people, and he had this piece of clay that was just the size of like a human penis, like to scale, and he was like stroking it and pulling it and all they kept zeroing in on the people in the audience that were like, what is happening right now? This looks like a giant dick. This guy's like jerking right now in front of us, and he did all this stuff with it, and it ended up being like a handle of a coffee mug, which looked completely normal. But at the end everybody was like, oh, okay, I get it. But there was like a portion of time that this it was just very sexual. He was like holding it up to his mouth and like chugging it. It was so ridiculous.

No, there's this guy that makes these like crazy chocolate sculptures in Vegas. I don't know if you've ever seen his stuff before, but he did one recently where he was making a heart but he did the have separate and it was like bubbled out in a way that when he put them together and took like liquid chocolate to seal them, it looked like he was like smearing.

Poop in a butt crack. It's like weird. Oh, I know who that guy is. I think I know who that guy is. All right, well, let's move on to the questions of the day.

Every Friday at that mother Knows Death Instagram account, you guys could head over to our story and ask us whatever question you want. First, what is the real reason piercings are not allowed at the hospital?

I don't know if there's a real reason. I think that a lot of it is just like they don't like the way that it looks. They think it's not professional.

Well, I don't know if this person means for like employees or for patients. Because for a lot of procedures you have to take them out.

Oh, for a procedure, then there's one hundred percent a reason because and this actually happened with me because when I had Lillian at the hospital, I have this piercing I have in my face right now, and after I had heard so, they made me take it out and of course I don't want to take it out because because I'm thinking, like, after I have a baby, the last thing I'm going to be thinking about is putting a piercing back in, and like, you can't keep it out that longer it'll close up. So I just was like, I don't want to take it out. The thing is is that if you have to get an emergency procedure, if you have to get intubated. For me, I had some really really bad headache after I had the baby and I had to get an emergency MRI, which you can't have metal in your face. They just want it to be like, especially when you have a baby, like shit could go bed, they might have to intubate you or something, and they want your face to be clear and make sure you're ready to go for surgery on the rare chance that you need it. So for procedures. That's why as far as working there, it's just I mean, if you have a piercing on your face, that's it's essentially the same as having your ears pierced. And I don't think they make you take out your earrings. I had a piercing on my face working in the hospital. They never gave me shit about that, because, believe me, they gave me so much shit about my tattoos, so they've noticed. I don't know, I feel like on the floor. If they don't want you having a piercing, it's for appearances, it's not for hygiene, all right.

If somebody has a late term spontaneous abortion, will they automatically do a fetal autopsy?

No. If the anytime a fetal autopsy is done, it's when well, most times, unless there's some kind of trauma involved or violence, if it's a natural cause, the only way an autopsy is getting done is if the mom wants it. I personally, I don't know. I go back and forth like what I would do in that situation. I never want anybody that I love to ever get an autopsy because it's so invasive and gruesome. But at the same time, if you're a mom that's trying to have babies and then you have this terrible thing that happens during the pregnancy, you might want to find out why because there's a chance that it could happen again, because obviously, if you have a born, there's a higher chance of you having a stillborn. So in that case, I might want to further investigate there. There are a lot of things that could be done genetics and things that they don't have to physically do very much of an invasive procedure, I would say most of the time in those cases, if everything was fine to the very end, it's usually a placental issue. So sometimes we could just look at the placent it and be like, yeah, that's what happened. That's why the baby died. So there are things that we could do if the parent the parents aren't comfortable with it, but that's totally up to the parents. All right.

Last question, what is my favorite novel or author?

And do I have a Good Reads?

I do have a good Reads, but it is on private because I'm embarrassed by my reading selection most of the time.

I see. I don't think you should be embarrassed because I think our listeners like, like, what do you want to You just want to have like of mice and men, like you have to have all these intellectual I don't want nobody's seeing all the smut books I read and judging for my selection. We're already judging you. I know you are, but yeah, I'm gonna be embarrassed. I think I think our listeners would wanna just do it. You're gonna cause there's this whole there's this whole entire thing that you have to act like you're this you're this well educated reader all the time, and just like you could break the stereotype or by making your good reads public.

Well, I'm not gonna make it public yet. Maybe it's something I can mentally work towards. But I'll tell you some books I read lately that I like. While that's loading up, an author I really like right now of the smut variety is Stephanie Archer. I just think her books are easy to read and they're like non conflict, which sometimes I just want, like, you know, to read a Hallmark movie.

Level type of thing.

Books I really like that I would consider in my favorites. I really liked this book my English teacher in twelfth grade made us read called Swimming.

I thought that was a really good book.

It's kind of like about family betrayal, and I thought I had really good just a lot of drama, but it's like really makes you think a lot about family dynamic and then not to be a basic book bitch, but like I really liked where the Crawdads Sing. But like everybody likes that book. It was on the New York Times bestseller list for a really long time. Right now, I'm reading a book called Nora Goes Off Script that I don't really like that much.

It's fine.

I don't think it's like the best book I've ever read, but I think it's just an easy read.

What other books?

Oh, I just finished for my book club this book called First Time Caller, and that was just on the New York Times bestseller list. It just came out a couple weeks ago, and I thought that book was really great, So I'd recommend that right now.

What was it about.

It was about this guy that worked at a radio station and he had a show that was a romance hotline, and then this woman's daughter calls in, and it was kind of it reminded me of us in a way because it was this twenty nine year old girl that had a twelve year old daughter, and her daughter called into the romance hotline and was like, help my mom out. She's never had a boyfriend and I'm worried about her.

Oh my god. This is the plot for Sleepless in Seattle basically, but it was. I liked it.

It was very easy to read, and it was cute, and that's what I would recommend right now.

But I don't know.

Maybe I'll work my way into making my public my record's public, but for now, I don't want everybody seeing the weird shit I choose to read because I go between like romance books, horrible murder novels, finance guides, like, nobody really is gonna care what I read.

You know, they obviously care if they're asking you.

Maybe I was surprised this question came in, honestly, But maybe once in a while I'll give you guys some updates and my sos on what I'm reading, and then we could go from there, and then I'll see if I'm getting good feedback. At that point, maybe I'll release the tapes.
