0:22she discovers that she's been
0:25nearly she has the problem of having to
0:28walk with one hand holding her head head
0:30while the other hand holds her
0:31intestines in from dragging on the
0:34ground and she prays for somebody with a
0:36good head on their shoulders so bad to
0:39help her out someone with the guts to be
0:42able to jeez help her in her most
0:45desperate hour one morning in the dead
0:48of night back in the year of the PE some
0:51people's Lord
0:541994
0:5527-year-old Alice OTA finds herself on
0:59the receiving end of a Savage
1:03attack so watching as her attackers
1:05drive off and they just left her there
1:08to
1:10die she had just endured 37 vicious
1:14stabs in her abdomen and 17 in her neckl
1:20headle region or in medical par Lance
1:23her South head had received 17 gashes
1:28from a knife and for a moment she
1:31thought of just lying there and
1:34succumbing to her injuries and uh she
1:38thought she was just going to give up
1:39but she chose to fight and so she looks
1:42down and notices there's a massive
1:44gaping wound in her abdomen and her
1:48intestines are hanging out like a
1:50surgeon lying in the dirt she gingerly
1:53tucks him back in through the opening in
1:56her abdominal wall and uses her shirt to
1:59keep them in place and so drumming up
2:02just an
2:03unimaginable amount of strength in spite
2:05of her half severed stomach she manages
2:09to stand
2:10up and she begins to wander about for
2:13help however as she stands her head
2:17starts tilting backward she doesn't
2:19intend to but her eyes keep gazing up at
2:21the
2:22stars and although they're beautiful she
2:25has bigger issues right now than
2:27cosmetology and so she experiences kind
2:31of a flickering of her vision like her
2:33eyes can't stay tuned on the radio
2:35station and keeps coming in and out a
2:38signal like that but not a radio station
2:40it's her vision and so she touches her
2:43neck and when she does she discovers
2:46that she's been nearly
2:49decapitated which is why her head is
2:53wobbling you know she has the age-old
2:56problem of having to walk with one hand
2:58holding her head so it doesn't flop so
3:00hard that it finishes her off by
3:02disconnecting her spinal column which is
3:05still intact fortunately while the other
3:07hand holds her intestines in from
3:10dragging on the
3:11ground behind her so she's making baby
3:15steps and her blurry vision spots some
3:18lights in the distance and so she begins
3:20to inch toward what seems to be gleaming
3:23headlights of a nearby
3:25Highway and she prays for somebody with
3:28a good head on their shoulder shoulders
3:31so bad so bad to help her
3:35out some
3:37some someone with the guts to be able to
3:41Jee see her need and help her in her
3:44most desperate hour which surprisingly
3:46and ironically was right now so situated
3:50on the Southeastern coast of South
3:53Africa is the vivacious city of Port
3:56Elizabeth you ever been there no I
3:59didn't know if maybe you had done any
4:00mortgage steals over there whatever you
4:03know with all due
4:05respect it's it's on the Indian Ocean or
4:08for those Americans who might have word
4:11sensibilities we can call it the
4:13indigenous ocean if you want but the
4:15city of Port Elizabeth is famous for its
4:18really pretty beaches and a Serene kind
4:21of unhurried
4:22culture it was here that Alis boto was
4:26born on September 22nd 196 7 to Claire
4:31and Brian
4:33B uh her childhood was disrupted at the
4:36age of 10 though when her parents parted
4:39ways after which she resided with her
4:42mother and her older brother we'll call
4:44him Ragnar to protect his identity in
4:48spite of what a lot of people would call
4:51divorce Allison sword she earned the
4:54prestigious title of head
4:57girl at Collegiate High School School
4:59for Girls in Port Port
5:02Elizabeth after graduation though she
5:06went on a journey of self exloration um
5:09not just with her body but like around
5:11geographically and she traveled for a
5:13few years before returning to her
5:16hometown uh where she began her
5:18professional Journey as an insurance
5:20broker and there's nothing funny about
5:22that so life was joyful and
5:26fulfilling with warmth of food folks and
5:29fun
5:30and her life seemed to be filled with
5:32boundless opportunities so however a
5:35dark cloud was rolling in in the form of
5:38two dudes one named France
5:42D and the other named thunes Kruger now
5:46I need to Sidetrack myself really quick
5:48to state that
5:50shockingly there are more than one
5:52France do Twee in the South African
5:55region and where things get even more
5:58Awkward is
6:00he the other France is a well-respected
6:04outdoor guide in a national park called
6:08Krueger National Park so for any South
6:11Africans who think I'm talking smack
6:13about the park ranger I'm not it's it's
6:16another white FR D and literally another
6:20dude named thunes Krueger not Krueger
6:23State Park you can't make this stuff up
6:26but I I think a lot of people mighte
6:29their wires crossed about this at 26
6:32France
6:34d a father and husband he had a a very
6:38Sinister criminal lineage tracing back
6:40to his young younger years his teenage
6:43fascination with arson was a precursor
6:46to a growing tide of violent assaults
6:49against women that would define his
6:52nefarious reputation moving forward he
6:55was accused of rape multiple times but
6:59only received a lenient slap on the
7:02wrist as the typical outcome a lot of
7:06people believe that this might have been
7:08courtesy of his father's role in the
7:12police force which is kind of the South
7:15African version of what Americans know
7:18as police departments so I don't know if
7:22you've ever had any run-ins with those
7:24guys
7:25but so
7:27anyway anyway
7:30am I laying on the yeah I'm leaning on
7:34that too much
7:36okay nervous like I said Matthew uh so
7:39so to the contrary though 19-year-old
7:42thees Krueger was birthed into a realm
7:44of severe abuse with a father who whose
7:48life was intertwined with
7:51criminality no judgment
7:53Matthew unlike the uh self-proclaimed
7:56charmer d d twe Krueger was painfully
8:00aware of his lack of charm and wit and
8:03most of the attributes he had
8:06most uh most prevalent women found off
8:09ping so that this kind of Perpetual
8:12rejection fermented a deep rooted
8:16bitterness uh toward the lady types and
8:20social Al alienation felt by both these
8:22men uh cemented a twisted camaraderie
8:26between du and and Krueger first further
8:29Bound by a Sinister fascination with
8:32Satanism so you throw that in the mix
8:35anytime you know you're going to get
8:36some fun stuff um so Satanism by the way
8:40that's that's different than like the
8:41Church of Satan or the Temple of Satan
8:43now that that's a religion and that
8:46religion is less about worshiping Satan
8:48more like just a thumb in the eye of
8:50what you and I might consider a kind of
8:53stratified uh protocol Christian
8:56protocol you know like we a lot of
8:58people don't see a problem throwing up
9:00like a Ten Commandments monument in a
9:02you know at the capital building of your
9:04local city the the Temple of Satan's
9:06like oh well yeah you can't actually do
9:09that really or if you do that you got to
9:10let everybody so they'll go and say hey
9:12we want to put a we want to put a statue
9:14of baffet the big goat God you know
9:17there too and then everybody's like what
9:19are you talking about and then we're
9:20like yeah TR State you can't really you
9:21know anyway these guys were satanists
9:24though not Temple
9:26Satan so uh they were a formidable pair
9:29though they were
9:30malevolent and this was a reality that
9:33Alis and B would tragically stumble upon
9:37Now Matt just a quick aside I um I just
9:39want to I'm gonna I'm gonna blow the
9:41story out hopefully that's okay and then
9:44rather than come in short come in long
9:47for your edit is that fine that's fine
9:49okay I didn't want I I just don't want
9:51your eyes to start rolling in the back
9:52of your head if there's a lot to this
9:55but um I didn't I you know anyway all
9:59right so on December 18th 1994 an abant
10:04Allison spent the day basking on the
10:06shores of Port Elizabeth With Friends
10:09the fun times extended to her apartment
10:12with games and pizza and and which
10:15included pizza and soda and so as the
10:18night came most friends said goodbye and
10:20and they headed home yet one friend
10:23remain stranded without a ride so given
10:25the area's nocturnal safety concerns I
10:28don't want to say because it's South
10:30Africa but because it's South Africa you
10:33don't want to be out after dark right
10:36she yeah it's just um there's gangs you
10:40know people get shived so uh Allison
10:43gracious graciously offered a ride to
10:46her friend so she wasn't aware of it yet
10:48but this decision would pivot her life
10:51onto a very Grim path so after taking
10:54her friend home she headed back and when
10:57she reached home just past stroke broke
10:59at 3 in the morning her normal parking
11:02spot was taken and so she had to find a
11:06parking spot that was further away from
11:07her house now um I don't know how you
11:10are walking in the dark I'm totally fine
11:14but a lot of people aren't you know few
11:18of us that are brave and strong and you
11:20know we're Independent Women and others
11:23you know Ral she was
11:25vulnerable she parked and reached AC
11:29cross to gather a bag of fresh laundry
11:31from the passenger seat which also made
11:33me think logistically she probably had
11:35her friend in the back of the car if her
11:37laundry was in the passenger seat that's
11:39weird but um it was then that A Rush of
11:43warm air brushed against her as her
11:46driver's door burst open and there was a
11:50dark figure outside who thrust a knife
11:52against Alison's throat and instructed
11:54her to shift over or he
11:57her so the Intruder introduced himself
12:00as Clinton no relation to Bill though
12:03later
12:04identified as France DET twe no relation
12:08to Hillary with faint Assurance though
12:10he promised no harm should come to her
12:13should she
12:14comply handing over her car car keys as
12:17he
12:18demanded uh Allison remained mute as the
12:21man Commander the
12:24vehicle so their Eerie Voyage expanded
12:27with the pickup of a another malevolent
12:30companion you can guess who that would
12:32be thunes Krueger of course before
12:35steering into the city's desolate
12:37outskirts navigating the gloomy forsaken
12:40Trail Allison's eyes met with Kruegers
12:44in the rearview mirror and unlike D who
12:47masked his malice with a veneer of
12:50friendliness Krueger's menacing glare
12:53bore no disguise at
12:56all his predatory gaze sent shivers down
13:00her spine and the dread of a Sinister
13:02fate looming
13:05grew um The Journey ended at a remote
13:08local far from the eyes and ears of
13:11potential saviors where the two men
13:14fixated their gaze upon
13:17Allison unveiling at that point their
13:19Savage intent as if it wasn't already
13:23clear by threatening to her and then
13:26dragging her out outside of town in the
13:28dark
13:30so they interrogated
13:33her uh and swamped by fear she othered a
13:37trembling
13:38no to all of their attempts to um you
13:43know accost her swiftly they yanked her
13:46from the car flinging her onto the harsh
13:49terrain of shattered glass Grime and
13:52Rubble D was first to assault her before
13:55handing her over to Krueger whose Brut
13:58ality sword to even higher Peaks than du
14:04had
14:05attempted aware of their past rape
14:07indictments a Sinister realization
14:10dawned upon them though to escape
14:12retribution this time they'd have to
14:14erase every
14:17Trace escalating their crime to
14:21murder as Kruger's assault continued he
14:24tightened his grip around Allison's
14:26throat aiming to suffocate the life out
14:28of her have you ever tried to suffocate
14:29someone
14:31Matthew no it's rough it's not easy
14:36everyone that tries they say that's not
14:38that's not easy it's super hard the body
14:41is pretty resistant resilient and even
14:43once you strangle somebody
14:46enough they look like they've died but
14:48they really haven't because the brain
14:50kind of has a four-minute timer on it
14:52where it'll try to you know revive
14:54itself if given the opportunity so a lot
14:57of people it'll strangle somebody and
14:59then they'll be like oh they're not dead
15:00yet and then it's like a 20 minute
15:02process of just trying to strangle the
15:03life out of somebody so not advisable if
15:06you try to you know you don't go for
15:09strangulation good to know yeah just fun
15:12facts just tips life tips
15:18um so this this strangulation attempt uh
15:23triggered an involuntary release kind of
15:25a reflex ironically that later morphed
15:27into
15:29what would be a life-saving
15:31event um although she was fading in and
15:34out of Consciousness Allison clung to
15:36life agitated by her resilience the duo
15:40opted for a more conclusive approach so
15:43their knives plunged into her 37 times
15:48into her abdomen and the ferocity of the
15:51assault tore her flesh completely apart
15:54exposing her inner organs so they
15:56believed at this point that death was
16:00imminent
16:01um then Allison's leg
16:05twitched and so
16:07they added a little more rage to the
16:10final blows and added 17 to her neck
16:15aiming to sever the fragile thread
16:19holding her life
16:20together so she had diminished
16:24Consciousness obviously and a blurry arm
16:26silhouette oscillated for Allison's face
16:29she could see it as she's coming in and
16:31out of
16:32Consciousness and
16:35um what she realized afterward she was
16:38saying I kept hearing a noise and what
16:40she was hearing was her flesh and what
16:46what you and I might have heard in like
16:49you know most horror movies I don't know
16:51if you've ever seen how they make horror
16:52sound effects but basically all the
16:54things they do to make the the and the
16:57pokes sound realistic she was hearing in
16:59real time in her ears because they were
17:02literally happening just a couple inches
17:04below her ears on her neckel
17:08region so she later recollected quote
17:12and I don't do I don't do accents so I'm
17:15not going to do one here but she said
17:17quote all I could see was an arm moving
17:20above my face his movements were making
17:23a sound a wet sound it was The Sound of
17:25My Flesh being slashed open he was
17:28cutting my throat with a knife I didn't
17:30feel any pain but it was not a dream so
17:36yeah and one of them she hears say do
17:38you think she's
17:39dead and then the other one said no one
17:43can survive that so convinced that she
17:46was going to die or that she was already
17:48dead France D and th Krueger
17:51unabashedly use their real names while
17:54deliberating their next move before
17:57commandeering again Alison's vehicle
17:59backed City so they made a fatal error
18:02here though in leaving Allison for dead
18:05because as we know lying on the cold
18:07hard ground a severely wounded yet
18:10miraculously
18:11breathing Allison was certain of her
18:15impending death but a resilient Spirit
18:18drove her to leave a trace behind with
18:21trembling fingers she etched two names
18:24into the dirt frons and th
18:30below she left a heartfelt message to
18:32her family I love mom she said I and I
18:37don't know if she and you know continued
18:39to write about her dad or anybody but
18:42blood loss was a thing and she was
18:44riding in blood so she probably was you
18:48know at her wits end yeah probably yeah
18:51limited on how much on Supply yeah so
18:57despite the dis the abyss of Despair and
19:00The Lure of surrender to her grave
19:02injuries a flicker of hope ignited
19:03within Allison at the sight of distant
19:06headlights filtering through the foliage
19:09so she's got this abdominal
19:11gash she's also stripped of her clothing
19:15but she finds a denim shirt nearby which
19:17isn't surprising because if I had a
19:19denim shirt I'd throw it out on the road
19:22yeah so denim shirt's probably
19:23everywhere for the taking she fastens it
19:27around uh her
19:29stomach trying to hold her intestines in
19:32place
19:33um she starts to crawl and realizes this
19:37isn't going to work because the shirt
19:39won't stay in place if she crawls so she
19:42stands up and she finds out that her
19:44head's cut off and so she's holding her
19:48severely lacerated head in place walking
19:51holding her stomach trying to
19:54make make her way Allison said quote I
19:57pulled my head oh this is so hard to
20:00imagine I pulled my head forward with my
20:03free hand and my vision returned kind of
20:06like you know when you're trying to plug
20:07in a USB and it's like which wa do it oh
20:10that's the way so she pulled her head
20:12forward her head just kind of
20:14reconnected to the USB ports in her neck
20:18and her vision came back at least
20:20temporarily she says I fell many times
20:23but managed to get up again until I
20:26finally reached the road
20:28so it was during the stretch road that
20:30fortune took a bit of a tender turn for
20:33her she was
20:35exhausted um she had this lingering
20:38sense of survival though that kind of
20:40just pushed her to keep going um she got
20:43into the middle of the road she
20:45collapses on the white line making a
20:48pretty significant contrast between the
20:50dark asphalt and her uh whiteness
20:54because she's a white lady covered in
20:57blood which is like every horror movie
20:59white lady covered in blood so a car
21:02approached slowed its Pace only to
21:05accelerate past the Gastly side of her
21:08battered body now I thought I put this
21:11through my own head trying to figure out
21:12like who am I when I come to this scene
21:15I see am I the drive by guy or am I the
21:19Stop and help guy and I want to say that
21:22I'm the Stop and help guy because I've
21:24got ideas on how to reattach ah head and
21:26this would be a great practice up yeah
21:30what an opportunity I I would feel like
21:32you're probably the same like you
21:34probably when you saw people getting to
21:36death you were probably like guys let me
21:37help right and you were like I can yeah
21:42no I walk the other way yeah that's the
21:45smart see but but if you saw Whitely oh
21:48that seemed like a that seems like a you
21:52problem yeah the thing is most people
21:56most people they in prison had coming
21:59yeah so you know yeah like your gang
22:02problem
22:04yeah but if you saw a bleeding white
22:06lady in the room I she doesn't have to
22:08be white she could be any color right
22:09but yeah it might change your tone might
22:12you might you might pull the car over
22:14yeah uh I like to think I would I would
22:17definitely do it if my wife was there
22:19yes to do it yeah show off she be like
22:23oh we need to help we need help in your
22:25that's who I am I have her convinced on
22:28really great guy I can't I can't ruin
22:30that yeah me too you should see my wife
22:32she's a total smoke show I have no idea
22:36how I lured her in or how effective re
22:39hypol is to this
22:43day just small doses somebody can still
22:46function that's what I found but they
22:48stay delusional micro do micro does I'm
22:53micro doing my
22:54wife she doesn't notice the weight gain
22:57that way but
22:59anyway so Destiny finally steered
23:02another car uh Allison's way and it was
23:06faing vacationers from
23:08Johannesburg and among them was a person
23:11named tyan eert uh
23:15he what is what's the what are the odds
23:17he's an aspiring Veterinary
23:21student so that means he was a animal
23:24doctor not an aspiring military guy that
23:28a
23:29veteran got it
23:31so uh he was horrified though by this
23:34you know he he hadn't seen a lot of
23:36dismembered uh white ladies and so but
23:39they stopped the car and they rushes to
23:42Alice inside he grasps her hand provides
23:46whatever soless he could muster to the
23:48barely conscious Allison and drawing
23:51upon his at this point vast Veterinary
23:55Acumen he tended to are exposed
23:58thyroid which is I don't know if you
24:01know it's right here yeah it's a like a
24:04butterfly a bloody butterfly when it's
24:06you know
24:08exposed so crafting a makeshift bandage
24:11from his shirt to uh he used it to
24:14staunch the bleeding from from her her
24:17neck
24:19wounds um to sustain her Consciousness
24:23uh
24:24Diane probed Allison with simple
24:27questions Diane was another passenger on
24:30the on the car from Johannesburg but she
24:32was unable to
24:34speak come on Diane her neck
24:38disconnected so but Allison uh devised a
24:42code once for yes twice for no uh
24:46blinking so
24:49um tyan reflected on the ordeal uh later
24:54on he said quote God put me on that road
24:57that night for a reason he engaged with
25:00Allison for a good 45 minutes offering
25:02Comfort till the ambulance arrived and
25:05then that Journey stretched Thrice its
25:09anticipated
25:10duration uh the paramedics were
25:13obviously a gas at beholding the you
25:17know the scene of Allison in her State
25:20and everything uh the the the the
25:24ambulance ride took
25:26forever both men were
25:30captured and they were sentenced to life
25:32in
25:35prison July of this year of some
25:39people's Lord
25:422023 they both got paroled
25:45wow yeah here's the other fun fact about
25:49that so the original judge was like
25:52these guys should never see the light of
25:54day again then why didn't she do
25:56something about that she
25:58right yeah like like get more active
26:01like try to I know it's her fault I mean
26:06what does life mean
26:08there I can't believe they were like
26:10here's the other thing though they were
26:12paroled and and as as is often the case
26:15um their identity is now in the wind
26:19like no one really knows where they're
26:21at then the the court system is such
26:24they're like well we don't you know that
26:26that would be dangerous for to give the
26:28information on where these the
26:29whereabouts of these two individuals you
26:32know right the law says no so no one
26:36knows where they're
26:40at there are some prisoners when they're
26:42released from prison that that the world
26:45is like how could that ever be the case
26:50how how could anybody let them out and
26:53and then it it takes a very unemotional
26:56analysis of the law to to to understand
26:59that sometimes things happen albeit
27:02there are other times when a prisoner is
27:04released from prison and without that
27:07release we wouldn't have great YouTube
27:09channels
27:11that are just really really good and so
27:15you know it's it's a Bittersweet
27:17sometimes we're like we need we need the
27:19guy out we need him out and the demand
27:21if you hadn't been out yet I would be
27:23making the appeals to make to make sure
27:26that you didn't spend life in prison for
27:28money crimes yeah okay just want you to
27:31know that I love you so much
27:34and Alan what happened so what did she
27:38so she survived like what's she doing
27:40now she fully survived she's written
27:43books everybody in South Africa knows
27:46about her
27:48um PL her plight uh she's become the
27:52head of
27:53organizations so bad so bad um I haven't
27:58seen the extent like she looks put
28:01together though like I've done on the
28:02911 she's not walking around with her
28:04severed Head n she's notabot crane you
28:07know yeah hey guys no yeah she's it's on
28:10her head on her shoulders where it
28:11should be and everything on my podcast
28:14I've done episodes one of the very first
28:16episodes that we did I believe it's
28:17actually episode one we talk about a
28:20woman who had a pet monkey named Travis
28:24and he was a celebrity chimp like he was
28:26used in commercials and everything and
28:28this one
28:29time um her friend came over and Travis
28:33came out normally says hi tore the crap
28:36out of her face just tore her face ate
28:39her fingers off and everything yeah and
28:42uh when you see her now she she doesn't
28:46look that good cuz they like you know
28:49overlaid her face with uh other face
28:53people's faces and oh but Alison B she
28:57looks great I I I watched a couple
28:59interviews and I mean technically she
29:02never went ha so I couldn't like get a
29:05good look here but from what I saw you
29:08can't really tell and she never lifted
29:10up her shirt so I don't know how that
29:13right that incision probably where's a
29:16lot of turtlenecks a lot of yeah a lot
29:18of scarves or ascots is Ascot IE thing
29:24or no that's a monacle yeah Ascot
29:26scarves neck which are in fashion and
29:29South anyway she's healed and she's not
29:33only healed but she's brought healing to
29:35others who have had I don't think you
29:38could even say the same kind of tragedy
29:40but you knowen I I watched a video I
29:43don't know it was six months or a year
29:45ago and it was a true story where these
29:48people kept like things were missing
29:50from the house like food was missing and
29:52things would be slightly moved and they
29:54would hear noises at night and they
29:56searched the entire house and you know
29:59this went on for for forever and at one
30:01point like the father looked up and saw
30:04could have swore he saw someone in like
30:07one of the rooms and like he was like
30:09100% sure he saw uh uh someone in a room
30:13and he rushed into the house went
30:14through the whole house searched it
30:15they' searched it multiple times and
30:16then it turns out that like some older
30:20person in the
30:22neighborhood had said you know it must
30:24be a little bit you know must be strange
30:27in that house and they were like why and
30:28it was like well um you know because of
30:32the passages and stuff and they were
30:34like the passages and they were like
30:37well yeah there's all those kind of like
30:39those Hollow walls inside where they
30:41would the servants would go through the
30:43hollow walls and they had no idea and
30:46there was someone living in their attic
30:48that would could move through the house
30:51without going through the house right
30:53but you could hear them you they tried
30:55to be quiet but it was was so it was
30:58just insane and I saw another one
31:00similar to that where a guy was stalking
31:03this chick living in the house and
31:05stalking her and go be able to get in
31:09and out of the house and staying in the
31:11attic and would lay under her bed at
31:13night and just it was just bizarre but
31:15these were all true stories yeah so
31:17anyway that the the person was living in
31:19the house and they the cops come in and
31:21they search and they find the guy in the
31:22house and it but just the way the guy
31:25laid it out had just just the hairs on
31:28my arm just shot up really I like I love
31:31those that stuff but you know people
31:32watch my channel they're not really
31:33interested in that but I don't I'll I'll
31:36do my best to try to make it creepy I
31:39mean there there's some creepy elements
31:40to it I mean there it's you know it's
31:42it's a it's a horrible story but um and
31:46by horrible I mean you're G to love
31:50it okay let's go okay let's do it do
31:55that all right um there some Matt Matt
31:58can I call you Matthew yeah you bro I've
32:01been a Matt I've been a David I've been
32:03a Michael I've been a Carter okay I
32:07might just mix it up from time to time I
32:09might call you Jessica during this yeah
32:11whatever so man I thought I wanted to
32:13grease the skids here a little bit to
32:15kind of um evaluate uh your your level
32:19of
32:21scary I wanted to tell you just a quick
32:23story really quick to just kind of see
32:25you know see where find our find our
32:27barometer right so here's a scary story
32:30for you just to begin it's a little tiny
32:32bit just little flavor to uh that has
32:35nothing to do with what the main story
32:37is but there was these two people right
32:40and they the husband and wife they
32:42decided to take this backpacking trip
32:44down to Mexico and they were just going
32:47to have a tent and they were going to go
32:50wherever they wanted to put up a tent
32:52and like around and then then they would
32:55come back to the tent and sleep and then
32:57move on and one time they went from the
33:00tent and they went traveling they came
33:03back and they came in and everything in
33:04their tent was disarray and that means
33:07everything was scattered around okay and
33:10when they know disarray means okay I you
33:13know I just I didn't want to presume I
33:15didn't know how much time you had done
33:16in the big house and I didn't know how
33:18many words had kind of come and gone
33:19during that you know I I didn't want to
33:21presume I want to be respectful this is
33:23your
33:23show so they came in and everything was
33:26messed up and they were like oh my gosh
33:28but nothing was missing so it wasn't
33:31really much of a crime and they were
33:32like okay they just reorganized
33:34everything and they went on they had
33:35like 13 more days on their trip went
33:38around putting up the tent hiking around
33:41all the stuff and then they just they
33:42went home and when they went home this
33:45was back in the 990s so they got uh all
33:48their all their camera re their little
33:50films and they sent him in for for
33:52processing and they got him back and
33:54they were going through the trip
33:55pictures and they noticed the day when
33:58everything in their tent was in disarray
34:01there were extra pictures and somebody
34:03had taken pictures inside of their tent
34:06of two Mexican guys with their
34:09toothbrushes in their butts oh my
34:14God that's scary like that's scary think
34:18about that 13 more days of brushing your
34:19teeth with uh so that this scar this
34:25story I'm going tell you it's a little
34:26spookier okay so I just wanted to set
34:28the tone like if like if you thought
34:30that one was too much then I was going
34:32to have to just I don't know probably
34:34call it a day but okay so let me let me
34:37tell you this story what's the what's
34:40the biggest injury that you've ever
34:42incurred
34:45Matt um someone hurt my feelings once I
34:48was gonna say mine too love love lost
34:51that was yeah we are two peas in a pod
34:54brother
34:55oh did you ever see any when you were
34:58when you were uh in the big house did
35:00you ever see any bad injuries I mean
35:02I've saw people get stabbed and and cut
35:04with razors and probably the thing that
35:08I saw that was the worst that where the
35:10guy bled the most was a guy got attacked
35:13with a uh like a belt and a lock the guy
35:17had looped it through and so he only had
35:20like yeah like the lock was like at the
35:24end of a maybe six or eight Ines and the
35:26guy just was hitting this other guy in
35:27the head and it leaves little little uh
35:32like half circles yeah but but the the
35:35you know it chunks into your head b b b
35:38so and your scull your your scalp bleeds
35:41a lot yeah so he he was this guy had
35:44blood his entire body looked like he'd
35:45been dipped in blood within within 20 30
35:49seconds it's crazy how you know most of
35:52us would go for a Sharp object but it
35:57what's crazy is how the body fails to
35:59respond to a good oldfashioned
36:01bludgeoning yeah especially one where
36:03there's blood like here's a fun fact and
36:04know sh did you know that when uh
36:07military used to use rifles with
36:10bayonets on them the bayonets were dull
36:13not
36:14sharp so they they dulled the end of the
36:16bayonet because then when they somebody
36:20with it if it were sharp the body's like
36:23oh I've got fresh wound I can know how
36:25to heal it but with a blood in with a
36:27dull end the body can't heal around it
36:31and so what ends up happening is rather
36:33than with a sharp the body kind of heals
36:35from the outside in the body has to heal
36:38from the inside out with a bludgeoning
36:41like a dull object like a dole bayonet
36:43and so that person's out of commission
36:45out of the war and so Dole bayonets
36:48equal less soldiers on the field right
36:51crazy I was say typically when these
36:53guys attack each other in prison they're
36:55not trying to anybody
36:58you know what say what are they trying
36:59to do you know they just want to scare
37:02someone or they want to show hey look I
37:05I this guy like I I'm serious like I the
37:08truth is what you don't want to do is
37:10end up getting a murder charge yeah they
37:12don't really want the guy to die they
37:13never stand up well not never I'm not
37:16saying sometimes you they try but you
37:18got a life sentence that guy's willing
37:19to get another life sentence but you
37:21know they they'll they'll St like a
37:23blade that's this long you know you're
37:25not going to kill very likely unlikely
37:27you're going to if you one you know in
37:29the Torso as long as not the upper torso
37:31with a blade that that's long you're
37:33just not going to yeah just them up a
37:36little bit yeah same thing with the lock
37:39you want to hit the guy with the lock
37:40you want to bleed you want to see a lot
37:42of blood but you don't want to right and
37:45and again that's that's one they're
37:47dominance two they're taking somebody
37:49out of the picture for a little while
37:51sending a message maybe a very bloody
37:54message but and I would assume in some
37:56of those those cases it's not always
37:57just one dude doing the work so it's
37:59sort of noisy as to who's the actual
38:01culprit yeah they'll grab everybody they
38:04can throw them in the shoe and ship them
38:05all over the like as soon as you attack
38:06somebody you get into get into a fight
38:08or most people are getting shipped yeah
38:11they're just they're they're going to
38:12put them in the hole for six months and
38:14then they're going to ship them
38:15somewhere else so it's not like you're
38:16gonna someone and that guy's going to be
38:18taken off the compound and you'll still
38:20be left on the compound no no you're
38:22both going somewhere but now you have a
38:24you know f it follows you
38:27and then people like go that guy yeah
38:29that guy's serious like oh that's so
38:31until I was on the yard when he was in
38:33you know Bowmont he this dude up and
38:35that dude's serious and then people
38:36respect you and they they leave you
38:38alone yeah it's so stupid it sounds like
38:42um in my neighborhood here we have a
38:44space where the homeowners association
38:47was intended to put a
38:49playground so it's this like circle of
38:52of of grass this big giant circle of
38:55grass in the middle of the neighor
38:56neighborhood and they never put one in
38:58because they realize that right across
38:59the streets a school with like $300,000
39:03worth of playground equipment so why
39:05reinvent the wheel so this circle of
39:07ground doesn't have a playground so the
39:10kids use it for whatever they want and
39:14and and um the kids in my neighborhood
39:17they're they're crazy like it's it's
39:21it's crazy how crazy things get over
39:23there sometimes you'll see kids
39:25just riding bikes around in circles
39:28around
39:29there um I saw one kid just go and take
39:32a sit and spin and go in the middle of
39:35the circle and just sit and spin like it
39:37was it's unruly like when adults don't
39:40have control like the yard when they
39:42don't have control of the situation what
39:44humans will do with it yeah that's
39:46exactly what prison like I
39:50figured again two peas in a pod it's
39:53kind of crazy we're just now meeting
39:55each other so once again that doesn't
39:57really this does not feel like a
39:59Halloween story or a spooky story more
40:04grotesk and scary maybe maybe
40:07scary let me let me redo the the the
40:10last part they still out there yeah yeah
40:14okay oh wait and then this and then this
40:17I I'll say this they're still out
40:21there you have a sound effect machine I
40:24got sound effect you it's not show it's
40:27not spooky sound effects well if I keep
