WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:27.239 Yeah, I'm still waiting for you. Hi. Everyone, thanks for listening 2 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.120 to Shoes, Boozing Tattoos. As always, I'm Jess, I'm your host. 3 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.479 I wanted to take a bit of a different turn for this episode. 4 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.960 This will probably be hato parter. I'm not one hundred percent sure yet, 5 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:50.159 but Mother's Day just happened yesterday from when I'm recording this, and I wanted 6 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:55.000 to do something special for all the moms out there and everybody that loves their 7 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.479 mom. You know, everybody does what most people do. I'm so sorry 8 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:08.159 if you don't, but I wanted to take today to recognize some superhero moms. 9 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.439 A quick warning before we get into it, some of these are a 10 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:21.680 little bit graphic. I am definitely going to mispronounce things and I'm probably going 11 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.040 to swear. So if any of that bothers, you feel free to skip 12 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.920 over today's episode. But if that's all fine with you, we'll get right 13 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:44.519 into it. Today We're going to be talking about thirteen superhero moms. A 14 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:52.879 mother's love is something that is really unique. It's something that can completely change 15 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.519 the way we think, the way we feel, the way we act. 16 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:05.040 There's even been studies done on animals where when confronted with something that fight or 17 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:09.919 flight is usually a freeze or run. But as a mom, if their 18 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:16.120 babies are around, they go into fight mode. They don't freeze, They 19 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:23.240 go into fight mode to try to protect their young. This is the same 20 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:32.919 with human moms too. There's something about being a mom that makes you okay 21 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:40.680 with risking your life to protect your children. This first woman we're going to 22 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:51.039 talk about risk her life to save her children from a house fire. The 23 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.919 stories I'm getting today are all from different articles. I will say where I'm 24 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.199 getting them as i'm going through, and I'm going right from the article as 25 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:06.840 well. This is from people dot com and it was written by Jason Duane 26 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:12.800 Hahn, mom of three who almost died saving her children from house fire, 27 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:21.879 recovers and weds their father. A Washington mother has made an incredible recovery after 28 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:27.280 experiencing horrific third degree burns to her body last year while saving her children from 29 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.960 a house fire. When Angel Fiorini woke up in her home around midnight on 30 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.560 October twenty eighth, twenty sixteen, she found herself struggling to breathe. She 31 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:45.439 mustered the strength to rise from her bed and open her bedroom door. She 32 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:51.400 stood in front of a terrifying sight. Her home was on fire and engulfed 33 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.599 in thick smoke, with her three children, Gianna, Vinnie, and Rosalie 34 00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:02.520 inside. It was really hot already, even though it was on the opposite 35 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.840 side of the house. Fiorini, thirty three, of Spokane, Washington, 36 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:13.879 tells people, I just knew I had to get out. Fiorini placed her 37 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.720 youngest children, Vinnie four and Rizsiie, two, in each arm and rushed 38 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:24.720 them to safety outside, but the fire was spreading quickly with Gianna eight still 39 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:30.639 in her room. In that moment, the smoke being so thick and so 40 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.959 black, in the fire moving as fast as it was, I had no 41 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.639 idea how I would get back there, Fiorini explains, crediting her strength in 42 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:44.319 those moments to her faith in God. There was no way that I was 43 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.639 going to stand outside my house watching it burn with her inside. There was 44 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.720 nobody to call for help, and I knew that I was the only one 45 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.560 who knew where she was in the house, and waiting wasn't an option. 46 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.639 With her living room in flame, Fiorini laid on her stomach to maneuver through 47 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.319 the thick smoke. To reach Gianna, I couldn't go in with eyes open 48 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.480 between that heat and the smoke, so it was almost an army crawl across 49 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.079 the ground, she recalls. I crawled toward the bedroom door and had to 50 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:23.279 feel my way into her doorway. Once she reached Gianna, Fiorini dragged her 51 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.519 from the room to the front door, as the fire had torched her limbs. 52 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.120 She says, her skin melted off onto the doorknob as she attempted to 53 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:39.800 escape through the front door. She passed out just feet from the front entrance, 54 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.439 and by chance, a volunteer firefighter passing by rushed in to pull them 55 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:53.000 from the flames. When Fiorini regained consciousness outside, she helplessly watched her home 56 00:05:53.160 --> 00:06:00.920 and belongings turned to ash. Her then boyfriend of fifteen years and father to 57 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:06.279 her children, Aaron, was out and unaware of what had happened. Gianna 58 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.639 and I had skin charred, melting hanging off of our arms and our hands, 59 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:18.279 Fiorini remembers. The heroic rescue loved Fiorini and Gianna with third degree burns 60 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.319 to much of their bodies, and they were soon admitted to the burn center 61 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:30.839 at University of Washington School of Medicine's Harbor View Medical Center. Thanks to her 62 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.800 mom's bravery, little Gianna escaped with injuries less severe than her mother's, who 63 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:42.319 had almost half of her body burned. Doctors wrapped Fiorini's arms in thick bandages 64 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:47.319 and placed her on a ventilator to breathe. I remember waking up and being 65 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.800 really angry that I couldn't move my arms or talk, she says. I 66 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.720 remember trying to tell people around me that I needed my arms down and I 67 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.639 needed something to drink, but I couldn't say anything. All I could say 68 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:08.959 was arg those. She contracted bacterial pneumonia and experienced a pulmonary embolism that almost 69 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.480 killed her during her admittance. Fearing, He returned home five weeks later on 70 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:18.120 December second. To her surprise, her community quickly banded together to relieve some 71 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.839 of the family struggles. Local businesses give to them a car and a couch, 72 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:29.240 others raised thousands of dollars, and one family generously gave them a mobile 73 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.720 home to live in. Oh go fund me page has been set up for 74 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:36.040 the family for anyone who wants to lend their support. Still fearing, he 75 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:43.839 said she struggles with accepting so much help. I think it's a natural thing 76 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.360 for a lot of people to have a hard time receiving things. Even though 77 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.040 we lost everything, I just couldn't really put together why so many people had 78 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:56.439 come together and donated so much stuff. People lose their house and fires pretty 79 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.319 often, and it was hard for me to comprehend why we were being so 80 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:05.720 blessed. Aaron took the lead on Fiorini's wound care, changing her dressing every 81 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.000 day as she recovered. Although they had been together for fifteen years and we're 82 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:16.160 content with not officially tying the knat, Aaron proposed to Fiorini on January twentieth, 83 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:24.079 and they married on July twenty eighth. Fiorini and Gianna have made tremendous 84 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.720 emotional and physical strides in their recoveries since the night that changed their lives. 85 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.399 We don't really talk about it very much now, but Gianna did in the 86 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.840 very beginning. Fiorini says, I think that might have been really healing for 87 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.039 her, being able to open up in the first couple of months about her 88 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:50.120 feelings and what had happened in her experiences. According to the National Fire Protection 89 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.279 Agency, more than twenty five hundred people die a year in the US from 90 00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:01.120 house fires. Fiorini says she didn't have a working smoke detector at the time 91 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.200 of the fire, and the cause of the blaze is still undetermined. Today, 92 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.919 she's aiming to raise awareness about fire safety and remind people to check their 93 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.480 alarms. I have a really strong desire to make a difference from all of 94 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.759 this. My life wasn't just spared for no reason fearing, he says, 95 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.759 it's something that gives me strength knowing what I've overcome and what I've been able 96 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:35.000 to fight through. I thought that was an amazing story. Something instinctual in 97 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:39.480 us makes us not want to be that close to fire, even if we 98 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:45.480 like fire and we like sitting around a fire, if our house is in 99 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.960 flames, we don't want to go back in there. Many people don't go 100 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:56.480 back in for anything. But this woman went through this whole house that was 101 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:03.799 engulfed in flames to say her eight year old daughter. There are pictures of 102 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.399 her online that you can see again. Her name is angel Fiorini, f 103 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.159 Io r I and I. She looks beautiful in her wedding dress, her 104 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:20.679 kids look happy, her husband looks happy. She does have discards from the 105 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.320 burns, but I mean, that's a small price to pay to still have 106 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:35.320 your daughter. Now. This next one, a woman also gave something up 107 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.240 in order to save her children. This is again from people dot com and 108 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:46.440 it's by Nicole Wise and c Egan. The title of this article people Icons 109 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.559 mom who saved her children from tornado has no regrets about losing her legs. 110 00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:01.559 It was my time to step up. It's been five years since Stephanie Decker 111 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:07.399 made the life altering decision to save her kids instead of herself when a tornado 112 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.919 ripped through their town of Henryville, Indiana, and the devoted mom says she 113 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.720 has no regrets about losing both of her legs in the process. I don't 114 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.559 even think twice about it, says Decker, who appears on People Icons Heroes 115 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.320 and Survivors on Tuesday, March fourteenth, at ten pm. This was a 116 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.159 couple of years ago, by the way, so you're not gonna be able 117 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.879 to watch just you might be able to see it on YouTube. Though I 118 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.919 wouldn't change it for a million bucks. Things happened for a reason. It 119 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:43.919 was my time to step up. On March second two and twelve. Stephanie 120 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.000 now forty two, had just made it home with her two children, Dominic 121 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:54.120 eight and Reese, five, when the wind really started picking up, so 122 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.600 they made their way to the basement. I looked up and I saw her 123 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.399 tramp lane that was staked into the ground go flying across the yard, she 124 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.240 says. Then the entire house started to shake. I became petrified at that 125 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:16.600 point, and one of the windows busted in. So she took a blanket, 126 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.000 wrapped her children in it, and laid down on top of them. 127 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.480 I watched the foundations separate from the house and lift up, she says. 128 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.360 The F four tornado with one hundred and seventy five mile an hour winds was 129 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:39.080 tearing through their home. She looked up and saw a twenty foot steel beam, 130 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:45.320 which had been holding their house together, falling toward her. I could 131 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.039 see it in slow motion, she says. I was covered in bricks and 132 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.919 stones. I could let go of them, move the stuff off me, 133 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.080 and get away from that beam. I chose to let the beam fall instead 134 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.159 of letting go of my kids. The feeling was I'd rather get my arms 135 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.080 ripped off instead of letting go of them. Instead, her legs were crushed. 136 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.679 But that wasn't all. Now she was trapped with the beam on her 137 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.960 legs, and there was another tornado, this one and f two headed their 138 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.120 way that ripped a pillar off of their home. The pillar was coming straight 139 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.039 from my daughter's head, she says. Now that I only have upper body 140 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.840 movement, I can't cover them. So I'm twisting back and forth taking the 141 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.519 brunt of the flying debris. I twisted my body and it broke eight ribs 142 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.519 and punctured my lung. But her daughter was safe. After her kids ran 143 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.879 for help, she made a pledge and knew if I could get out of 144 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.919 here, I would somehow try to make some kind of impact, she says. 145 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.080 One year after the tornado, she started the Stephanie Decker Foundation, which 146 00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:01.679 has helped two hundred and fifty children who have lost limb attend a local sports 147 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.120 camp. She also travels across the country as a motivational speaker. She and 148 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.720 her husband, Joe forty seven, a high school math teacher and baseball coach, 149 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.399 did not rebuild their home. They now live about fifteen minutes away in 150 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:24.279 Sellersburg, Indiana. Stephanie recently took up running with special prosthetics and hopes to 151 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.159 one day beyond dancing with stars. I love the impossible, she says, 152 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:39.600 that's my forte I am like speechless over this. Tornadoes I don't think scare 153 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.639 me much. But we don't really get a ton of them here. They've 154 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.879 popped up, I mean, definitely, But why I live up here in 155 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.759 northeastern Ohio, they're not quite super common. I don't know if it's because 156 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.840 we don't have as flat of a terrain as a lot of places. I'm 157 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.159 very close to Pennsylvania here, so Pennsylvania is known for all the hills and 158 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.840 everything it has. Maybe that's part of it. We did have a tornado 159 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.960 come through this part of Ohio, I think in eighty five. I'm not 160 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.759 one hundred percent sure if that's right. I'm pretty sure that's right. Eighty 161 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.960 five or eighty six. That was before I was even born. My mom 162 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.679 was a teenager then and she kind of remembers it. My grandma remembers it. 163 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:35.840 But I think that was the last like actual tornado we had, real, 164 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:41.840 real close to me. I couldn't imagine knowing that a tornado is coming, 165 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.399 watching your house be ripped from the ground, and knowing that you have 166 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.279 to protect your two children. All of these things that all of these women 167 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.679 have done are like every mother's worst fear. So I am so sorry if 168 00:15:54.679 --> 00:16:00.279 this is like panic inducing, But we are going to move on to another 169 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:08.480 mom who did something amazing. Again, all of these moms are amazing. 170 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:17.159 This is from ABC News and it was written by Karma Allen, And this 171 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:21.639 is a little more recent than the other ones. This is from last year, 172 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.559 twenty nineteen. Woman says mom instinct took over when she fought off cougar 173 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:33.080 attacking her son. Now, when I was looking up some of these articles, 174 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:41.159 there are a few attacks that do seem to be way more prevalent than 175 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:49.000 others. Cougars, mountain lions, and crocodiles and alligators seemed to be very 176 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:56.480 common occurrences to where moms need to jump into action. I came across quite 177 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:03.200 a few articles with that. But this Canadian woman said her mom instincts took 178 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.200 over last week when she fought off a cougar that mulled her seven year old 179 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:15.119 son in their backyard. Chelsea Lockhart was doing household chores on Friday afternoon when 180 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.000 she heard her son, Zachary, scuffling. Was something outside their home in 181 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:26.480 Lake Fuck. It's not Lake Fuck. I'm sorry, Cawacan Lake, Cawakan. 182 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:33.119 I think Vancouver Island, she said. She rushed to the backyard to 183 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.519 look for the source of the commotion and found the boy fighting for his life. 184 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.839 I ran downstairs, and I ran toward his voice. I turned the 185 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:47.480 corner and saw this animal on my child, she told CTV on Tuesday. 186 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.880 He was on the ground and the cougar was attached to his arm. I 187 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.599 had mom instinct, right. I just leapt on it and tried to pry 188 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.799 its mouth open. She said. She doesn't know where she gained the strength, 189 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.279 but she fishhooked the juvenile cougar by the mouth and managed to pry him 190 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:08.039 off. I just looked at him, and I thought, oh my god, 191 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:12.160 my kid could die right before my eyes. All you think is what 192 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.839 can you do? What can you do in your own physical strength, she 193 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:22.279 recalled. I'm so grateful for him to be alive. She said, it's 194 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.640 a miracle that Zachary survived the attack with only a gash on his head and 195 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:30.400 a few injuries and cuts on his neck and arms. I knew that in 196 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.720 my own power and in my own strength, I wasn't going to be able 197 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:38.680 to pry his mouth open, so I started praying in tongues. I'm just 198 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:45.720 crying out to the Lord, she said, three sentences, three sentences into 199 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:51.599 me praying. It released and it ran away. Zachary is expected to make 200 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.480 a full recover. His mom said he was resting up at his grandma's house 201 00:18:55.519 --> 00:19:00.039 on Monday. We are definitely well on our way to recovery and zach is 202 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.680 resting at his grandma's house having some one on one time there. Lockhart said 203 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.960 his stitches are healing. He is well on his way to being fully recovered. 204 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:15.880 Officials with the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service said that they found two cougars, 205 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.680 both juvenile males, about twenty yards away from the family's home. They 206 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:26.119 were both hungry and looking for food, according to the service. Scott Norris, 207 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.480 sergeant with British Columbia Conservation Officers Service, said the animals were euthanized. 208 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.319 After the attack. The mom looked out from her deck and saw the cougar 209 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:38.519 on top of him and sprang into action. Norris told ABC News on Tuesday. 210 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.319 She grabbed the cougar and yanked it off of her child Vancouver Island has 211 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.680 said. Vancouver Island has had several cougar attacks over the past few years, 212 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:53.839 but it's a rare occurrence. He says. I did read another article on 213 00:19:53.920 --> 00:20:00.960 this particular one too, and it had said that for some reason, these 214 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.880 two male cougars. Yeah, these two male cougars were pretty young, and 215 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:11.759 they had been starving and without their mother for a few months, which is 216 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.440 odd. Usually the mother hangs around for quite a while, so they don't 217 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:21.759 know what happened with the mom. But these two cougars were basically just desperate 218 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.119 for food. That's why they went after him. It's sad that they had 219 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.440 to be put down, but if they are danger to society, you have 220 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:36.079 to. And as I think in the other article I read too, they 221 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:42.119 did set up some type of camera and live bait traps or yeah, some 222 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.400 kind of bait traps to where I wouldn't kill the cougar if the mother came 223 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:51.119 back in search for her for her cups. They weren't early cups. They 224 00:20:51.119 --> 00:21:00.720 were just younger, you know, So that is fucking terrifying. This next 225 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:08.480 one is a little bit different. Lawrence mom used body as speed bump to 226 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:15.559 save twins. From rolling car. This is from WCVB and it was written 227 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:25.000 by Kimberly Bookman. Middy trans leftnee was crushed and her right leg dislocated from 228 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.680 her hip. The twenty two year old was injured while trying to save her 229 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:33.680 twin daughters from their rolling car. I had to use myself as a speed 230 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.559 bump to slow it down enough for one of my neighbors to get in and 231 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.759 completely stop the car transit. The incident happened on March sixth, just days 232 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.559 after signing a lease at her new Lawrence apartment. She backed her Honda into 233 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:53.039 the garage, put it in park, and had her two year old twins 234 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.079 buckled in the backseat. When she said she got out to unlock her front 235 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:03.000 door, she saw the car start moving. I was like, what's going 236 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.839 on? And I see my daughters sitting in there in the backseat, and 237 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.160 of course my first instinct is I have to push the car back up into 238 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.079 the driveway. She said she was afraid the car would go down her steep 239 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:22.960 driveway and into the busy Marshton Street. She said her motherly instincts just kicked 240 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.599 in. My daughters are my everything, my everything, and I don't want 241 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.119 to see them in the hospital. I don't want to see them hurt. 242 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:36.480 I knew that at that time it was either me or them, she said. 243 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:42.880 That's when the new neighbors ran to help. She jumped in front of 244 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:48.279 the car. One of the neighbors jumped into the car, stopped it, 245 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:55.480 and helped to get her daughters to safety. Firefighters arrived and stabilized the car 246 00:22:55.559 --> 00:23:03.240 with wooden blocks and then used an air bag to her car. Trans has 247 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.440 been in and out of hospitals and has another surgery set for Wednesday. Knowing 248 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.319 there's a long recovery ahead, she vows she'll walk again. It was all 249 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:17.720 for my kids. I'm just glad my kids are fine. I looked for 250 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:22.680 updates on this story too, and I think they said she's walking again. 251 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:27.759 I mean, this story was from twenty fourteen, so as far as we 252 00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:33.519 know, she's walking again, back to normal. I guess the car was 253 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.920 rolling too fast for her to be able to just hop in and slam on 254 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:44.000 the brakes. It was enough to where she had to jump in front of 255 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:45.920 it to slow it down or else I was going to go into this main 256 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:52.480 busy road and most likely her girls, her toddlers that were in the backseat 257 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.319 would have been seriously hurt or killed, along with who knows how many other 258 00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:11.640 people. This next one blew my mind. Protective mother Russell's lost polar bear. 259 00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.240 This is from the Globe inmail dot com. It was published back in 260 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.039 February of two thousand and six, so it's been a while since this, 261 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.480 but the story is still a great story, and it was written by Paul 262 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:37.559 Waldy. I am most definitely going to mispronounce this woman's last name. I 263 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:44.160 am so sorry Lydia and you I think is her name. I am going 264 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.400 to refer to her as Lydia throughout this as long as I can remember. 265 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.960 Lydia's kids sure won't be giving her much trouble anymore now that they've seen her. 266 00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.799 Russell, a seven hundred pound polar bear. Lydia lives in damn it 267 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.400 Vujevic, a village of three hundred people on the shore of the Hudson Bay 268 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.119 of northern Quebec. One Wednesday evening earlier this month, Lydia was walking near 269 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.319 the village community center with her two sons when a group of children playing street 270 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:22.920 hockey nearby were shouting and pointing frantically Lydia, forty one, turned around and 271 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:30.200 saw a polar bear sizing up her seven year old son. She told the 272 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.680 children to run and raced around to get between the bear and her son. 273 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:40.279 Then she started kicking and punching the animal. According to police reports, in 274 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.759 a flash, the bear swatted her in the face and she fell on her 275 00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:48.640 back. With the bear on top of her, Lydia began kicking her legs, 276 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.400 almost in a bicycle motion. She was swatted once more and rolled over, 277 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:59.039 but the bear moved toward her again. A neighbor heard the commotion and 278 00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.559 came rushing over her. Seeing Lydia wrestling the bear, he ran to his 279 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.319 brother's home, grabbed a rifle, and headed back to the street. He 280 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.960 fired a few warning shots. The sound did divert the bear's attention from Lydia 281 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:18.160 just long enough for him to aim and fire again. According to police, 282 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:23.519 this neighbor, mister and Aleck, fired four shots into the bear before it 283 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:29.880 finally died. With the help of some neighbors, Lydia made it to the 284 00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:34.680 home of Nelson Kahn, a constable with the Catavic Regional Police Force. She 285 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.880 came in a panic. Mister Khn recalled in an interview yesterday, she was 286 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.880 obviously in shock. She was saying, bear bear. I just took her 287 00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.480 over to our nursing station and I asked where and if the bear was dead. 288 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:55.400 She said yes. Remarkably, Lydia suffered only a couple of scratches and 289 00:26:55.440 --> 00:27:00.119 a black eye. She and the local police have been fielding calls from across 290 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:04.799 Canada ever since the incident was first reported last week. Lydia, who doesn't 291 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:11.119 have a telephone, couldn't be reached yesterday. Meanwhile, villagers are still marveling 292 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.359 at her courage, and there is talk of nominating her for a Bravery medal 293 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:22.039 awarded by the Governor General. I've been here twenty four years and I've never 294 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.400 seen this before, said Larry Hubert, a regional captain with the police force 295 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.680 who arrived on the scene just after the bear was shot. For sure, 296 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:36.759 she saved the kids' lives. Mister Hubert has known Lydia for about fifteen years 297 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.480 and he can't believe that she took on a bear. He said the bear 298 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:47.160 measured about eight feet or two point four meters in height and weighed at least 299 00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:53.599 seven hundred pounds or three hundred and eighteen kilograms. Lydia is about five foot 300 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.480 nothing in ninety pounds on a wet day. Mister Hubert said, with a 301 00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:03.279 laugh, she's pretty wyatt. I'm surprised she went and did this, but 302 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.640 I guess when your backs up against the wall, I guess we come up 303 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:14.599 with superhuman strength. The police where this is is one of Quebec's northernmost communities. 304 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.960 It's situated on a peninsula where the Hudson Bay meets the Hudson Straight. 305 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:22.680 While polar bears roam the giant ice packs that float just off the shore, 306 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.599 Mister Hubert said that it's prayer for them to wander into the village. He 307 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:32.880 said that he believes the bear that tangled with Lydia became disoriented and was not 308 00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.000 looking for food. She's lucky the bear wasn't hungry. He said. If 309 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:42.079 the bear was hungry, she would have been eaten pretty quickly. Kevin Ramsey 310 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:47.759 Turgeon, another local police officer, said villagers might spot a bear in near 311 00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:52.039 town once a year, but no one can recall a bear getting close enough 312 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:57.240 to hurt anyone. Polar bear attacks anywhere are rare. About two years ago, 313 00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:03.440 research student was pushed to the ground by a polar bear and Wapusk National 314 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:10.640 Park, which runs along the shore of Hudson Bay near Churchill. A colleague 315 00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.119 managed to scare the bear off by hitting with a piece of wood. It 316 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.519 was the first bear incident in more than twenty years in the park. The 317 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:23.559 last fatal mulling in that area occurred in nineteen eighty three. However, officials 318 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:29.200 in Russia have had to shoot three aggressive polar bears so far this year. 319 00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.599 According to the Russian branch of the World Wildlife Fund, one bear killed a 320 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:41.119 fifteen year old girl in a remote village in the region of Jakoka, Jakota 321 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.519 or something like that, which is across the Bearing Strait from Alaska. The 322 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:51.920 organization said in a statement that decreasing ice cover caused global warming is the reason 323 00:29:51.960 --> 00:30:00.680 for such behavior because it has disrupted the bear's feeding patterns. So that's wow. 324 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:14.680 M I didn't I knew that polar bear attacks weren't frequent. I've also 325 00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:19.079 read some things in a couple different places that with polar bears, they're easily 326 00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:26.599 or more easily scared off than a lot of other bears unless they are hungry. 327 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.279 If they're hungry, they will get very aggressive. I don't know if 328 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:36.240 any of you live anywhere that polar bears roam, but if you do, 329 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.680 be careful. Keep an eye out. This summer, we are supposed to 330 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:44.839 get record high temperatures. It's forecasted so far that it's going to be a 331 00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:53.119 hot, hot summer, so just be careful. Now, this is another 332 00:30:53.640 --> 00:31:00.640 mom fighting off a cougar. This is from CBC dot C but this is 333 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:08.599 back from two thousand and nine. Conservation officers in Squamish, British Columbia continued 334 00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:14.039 to hunt for two more cougars after a rash of attacks, including one in 335 00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:18.559 which a mother fought off an attack on her daughter three, who couldn't understand 336 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.720 why the big kitty didn't want to quote play nice, Oh, how sweet. 337 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.519 Five conservation officers, eighty by two dogs and their handlers eventually tracked the 338 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:34.640 cat through several yards and eventually shot it just off of Depot Road in the 339 00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:41.119 Briggendale neighborhood, about sixty kilometers north of Vancouver, four hours after the attack 340 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:47.720 Tuesday evening. DNA samples taken from the cougar will be used to determine whether 341 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.079 it was the one that attacked the child. They said the cougar is the 342 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:57.319 second killed by conservation officers since Saturday. The other was shot after two dogs 343 00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:06.119 were attacked on a popular hiking trail on Friday and Saturday, and the attack 344 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:10.720 on Tuesday. The cougar pounced on Maya Espinosa from behind as she and her 345 00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:15.480 mother were walking their dog and picking berries in Fishermen's Park near the Squamish River. 346 00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:22.480 Maureen Lee told CBC News that she was turning away to pick a berry 347 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.640 when she thought she saw another dog approaching out of the corner of her eye, 348 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:31.559 but it was the cougar coming to attack her daughter, Maya. All 349 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:35.640 of a sudden, it just flew on her, rolled her a couple of 350 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.559 times and grabbed her under its belly on the ground like in the fetal position. 351 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:44.440 Lee recalled, Maya was on her back and he had his paws on 352 00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:47.200 her head, and I just knew I had to act really quick, so 353 00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:52.680 I just jumped in there and wedged myself between the cougar and her on the 354 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.839 ground, and I just got up and threw it off of my back and 355 00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:01.480 grabbed her and booked it. She said. The titler suffered puncture ones to 356 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:06.200 her left arm and head. But was recovering well, her mother said. 357 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:13.160 Neighbor Wade Roland said it appeared the girl didn't entirely understand what had happened. 358 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.160 Everyone's taking it well. They're in good spirits, he said. The little 359 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:21.000 girl. Her big comment was, I guess why didn't the kittie play an 360 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:27.920 ice? Pablo Espinosa, Maya's father, told CBC News his daughter thought the 361 00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.319 cat was playing. She was eager to return to kindergarten to tell her classmates 362 00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:37.920 what happened. Now. During this time, the article does go on to 363 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:43.480 talk about how there were a bunch of different encounters with cougars for some reason 364 00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:49.440 during this season. There were a total of thirty encounters with cougars just in 365 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:53.880 a ten day period. Six of them were on Friday, the Friday of 366 00:33:53.920 --> 00:34:01.319 this week alone. They're not sure why it was happening this time. They 367 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:07.880 think that they are hungry. Some of them were considered to be emaciated. 368 00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:13.760 But there do seem to be a lot of reports of cougars or mountain lions 369 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:22.199 when they do get very hungry coming after people. Now, this next one 370 00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:30.280 is one of my biggest fears. This is from ABC News. I'll go 371 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:37.719 and It's written by Olivia Katranjan and this is from twenty twelve, so this 372 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.639 one is a little bit older. I can't believe that's already eight years ago. 373 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:49.159 Mother saves daughter from shark attack in Florida. A brave mother fought off 374 00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:52.599 a shark that attacked her daughter as the two were surfing. The same day, 375 00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:59.440 another surfer was attacked on the same Florida beach. The two incidents Wednesday 376 00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:04.079 are among this series of shark attacks in recent days, as the underwater predators 377 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:08.880 seemed to enter shallow coastal waters earlier than usual with the warmer than usual weather 378 00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:15.000 this year. I just said, but the polar bear story it's going to 379 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:21.360 be warmer his year two. So if you're in Florida or any coastal place 380 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:27.599 where you can come into contact with sharks, be careful. Vala Levi and 381 00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:31.840 her fifteen year old daughter Sydney were paddling on their surfboards Wednesday off New Smyrno 382 00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:38.800 Beach when a shark suddenly pulled the team underwater twice. Levy pulled her daughter 383 00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:44.800 onto her board. It was to me like a scene out of Jaws where 384 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.039 the girl's getting sucked under and I said, there's no way this thing is 385 00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:51.599 going to kill my daughter, and I grabbed her shoulders and I pulled her 386 00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:55.239 up and threw her on the nose of my board, Levey told WKMGTV. 387 00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:01.639 The shark continued to circle Levy and her daughter until two nearby surfers heard their 388 00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:07.159 screams and helped them to shore. There was already an ambulance at the scene 389 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:13.599 because a shark had attacked a seventeen year old surfer, Nick Romano in water 390 00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:17.880 that was waist deep, only minutes before. Levy was rushed into surgery and 391 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.599 released from the hospital a few hours later. A few days earlier, a 392 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:29.320 bullshark leapt out of the water and chomped down on a surfer's arm just over 393 00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:37.400 one hundred miles away at Florida's Jensen Beach. Good lord. They do go 394 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.960 on to talk a little bit about some different attacks in here, but I 395 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:46.000 am terrified of the ocean. I don't know what it is, but when 396 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:52.159 it comes to the ocean, I'm not okay with water that's like above my 397 00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:59.079 belly button. I'm perfectly fine with lakes. I can swim, I'm fine 398 00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:02.559 with lakes. I'm fine with pools. I don't want anything that can eat 399 00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:10.480 me in the water, you know. So that's terrifying and concerning. And 400 00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:14.880 I don't know if you know how hard it is to pool somebody, a 401 00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:19.880 teenager, out of the water by their shoulders while you're sitting on a surfboard. 402 00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:25.400 It's hard to pull somebody out of water when you're like on solid land, 403 00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.440 or even just on a dock or something. I couldn't imagine. I 404 00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:38.719 could not imagine. Now. This next one is another common kind of attack. 405 00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:49.119 Mom saves toddler from crocodile by sticking fingers up reptiles nose. This one 406 00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:54.519 is very recent. This is from April eighteenth, twenty twenty, and it's 407 00:37:54.519 --> 00:38:02.760 written by Paula Freyolic on the New York Post. Note to the wise, 408 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:07.960 if you're ever attacked by a crocodile, stick your fingers up its nose. 409 00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:14.840 A mother in Zimbabwe rescued her toddler from a killer croc this week by jamming 410 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:20.239 her fingers up the reptile's nose. I'm going to mispronounce this name. I 411 00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:27.960 am sorry. Maureena missus Nia Yanna something like that. Thirty had left her 412 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.039 two children playing under an umbrella in the bank of the run Day River while 413 00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:37.119 she went fishing nearby. When she heard a scream and saw her son Gideon 414 00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:43.800 being dragged away by the huge reptile. Marina jumped on the beast and used 415 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:46.639 her fingers to block its nose, forcing it to release its grip on the 416 00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:51.880 boy. According to the mirror, during the encounter, she was bitten on 417 00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:57.079 the hand. I pressed its nose hard, a tip I learned from the 418 00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:02.159 elders long back from Koci Village. If you suffocated crocodile from its nose, 419 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:07.440 it loses its strength, and that is exactly what I did. I used 420 00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:09.920 my other arm to free my baby's head from its jaws. Even to this 421 00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:15.960 day, I still do not believe I rescued my son. Gideon was taken 422 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:21.639 to a nearby hospital and has since made a full recovery. Oh my eye 423 00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:29.840 is twitching. Oh good Lord. That seems terrifying. Why I mean, 424 00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:37.199 I understand Zimbabwe, it's not people in Florida. I have questions for you. 425 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.039 Why do you live in places where a lot of things can kill you? 426 00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:45.239 Australia? You two, Everything there wants to kill you. Why do 427 00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:53.519 you live there? Well, this next one is a bit different. This 428 00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:59.360 doesn't have to do with natural disasters. This doesn't have to do with wild 429 00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:07.360 animals. This one a mother ends up going like undercover spy to rescue her 430 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:15.079 son. This is from the Huffington Post and it's written by Cavan Sikowski, 431 00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:23.480 I think Sikowski and this is from December sixth of twenty seventeen. Calli Ata, 432 00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:32.000 Pennsylvania mother rescues kidnaps son in Egypt by hiding under nick kwab nikab. 433 00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.800 I don't know how to say that shit. I should have looked that one 434 00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:40.920 up. A Pennsylvania mother traveled to Egypt to rescue her son, who she 435 00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:46.800 claimed had been kidnapped by his biological father. To avoid detection, the woman 436 00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:52.800 reportedly hid under the cover of a nikab Nickquab nikab, I don't know for 437 00:40:52.920 --> 00:41:02.199 several months. Calliope Callie Atheia, her sister, and her son Khalil Mohammed 438 00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:08.119 or Nico as he's known Atea, had traveled to Egypt in July twenty eleven 439 00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:14.639 on a family vacation. While there, they went to visit Mohammed Attea, 440 00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:21.920 Callie's ex husband, and Nico's father. On August first, eleven year old 441 00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:25.760 Nico was allegedly kidnapped by his father after his mother was pushed out of a 442 00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.719 taxi cab. The family was writing it. He was pounding on the back 443 00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:35.599 window, asking, screaming for me, and his aunt, Kellie told the 444 00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:39.119 Chicago Tribune in December of that year, to me, it's like a loving 445 00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:45.800 death. You know, I'm walking, I'm breathing, but it's nothing the 446 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:52.360 emptiness. Since then, Callie had been trying to get her son back home 447 00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:58.239 to Fayetteville, Pennsylvania. Some people will say I was crazy, Kellie told 448 00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:02.840 Public Opinion about deciding to travel to Egypt to get her son back. I 449 00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:09.519 had already lost everything. I had nothing to lose. Callie enlisted the help 450 00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:14.400 of a local guide to track down Mohammed, whom she had married in nineteen 451 00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:19.119 ninety nine and separated from shortly after Nico's birth in two thousand. According to 452 00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:23.599 Fox News, for several months she was able to disguise herself on under an 453 00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:32.159 a cob and watch her son and X has been unnoticed. Now this head 454 00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:37.280 dress that I am having, or this thing that I'm having such trouble pronouncing 455 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.840 it is a face veil that's worn with a headscarf, and it leaves open 456 00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:45.239 the area around their eyes, so their whole face is covered. It would 457 00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:52.039 be very easy for her to wear this and blend in, so after months 458 00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:59.280 of surveillance, the mother decides to make her move. Mid March, Callie 459 00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:02.320 drove to Nico School and waited as the children got off the bus and were 460 00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:07.920 greeted by teachers and security. Callie finally saw her son step off of the 461 00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:13.599 bus. She walked up, touched his arm and said, Niko, it's 462 00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:19.360 mommy, Come with me, and he went right with her. He reportedly 463 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:24.320 knew it was his mother under the nakab because he recognized her bright blue eyes. 464 00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.280 I dressed him up as a girl and we made it back to a 465 00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.320 safe house, she told Public Opinion. She and her son are now in 466 00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:39.639 the United States at an undisclosed, undisclosed location. I'm having issues talking today. 467 00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:47.000 Apparently it's still unclear why Mohammed allegedly kidnapped his son. My son told 468 00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:52.159 me it was to make him a Muslim. Kellie, who was afraid Mohammed 469 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.679 may try to come to the US, told Fox News. He said that 470 00:43:55.679 --> 00:44:00.800 we lack the morality and the values that their system has, and he said 471 00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:06.679 that Americans were so violent. He said, we were a rotting society. 472 00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:13.880 Last February, the Franklin County District Attorney filed criminal charges against Muhammad for the 473 00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:20.199 concealment of the whereabouts of a child, a felony. I tried to look 474 00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:24.599 up to see if there were any new articles on this too, just to 475 00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:30.679 see if there are any updates, and there really aren't. It's like retellings 476 00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:37.480 of the same story. This mom went to another country. She went to 477 00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:44.519 fucking Egypt to track down her ex husband and get her son back. And 478 00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:47.440 there is a picture of her up here with her son and they both look 479 00:44:47.639 --> 00:45:00.400 very very happy. Now, this next one is wild. Could happen to 480 00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:07.800 any of us. This is from New York Daily News dot com. It 481 00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:12.679 was written by Meg Wagner and this is from April twenty third of twenty and 482 00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:19.800 fourteen. Mom attacks pit bull, bites off its ear to save daughter from 483 00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:27.559 being mulled to death. Mike Tyson has got nothing on this heroic mom. 484 00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.960 Chelsea Camp saved her two year old daughter from a ruthless pit bull attack by 485 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:37.599 biting the dog's ear off. The Texas woman was dog sitting her friend's usually 486 00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:42.440 friendly pitbull last month. That's when the dog approached her daughter, Mackenzie, 487 00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:49.159 and things got ugly. The dog came up and was just curious. Camp 488 00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:54.480 told Houston's kho you when he smelled her. That's when you saw it flip 489 00:45:55.199 --> 00:46:01.559 because I think it smelled my dog on her. The dog began attacking the 490 00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:07.400 little girl, and Camp was determined to save her daughter. Camp bit the 491 00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:10.559 dog's ear off and punched it in the mouth. Somehow, she managed to 492 00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:15.559 call nine one one during the fight. An officer responded and shot the pit 493 00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:21.119 bull, but didn't kill it. However, the dog was later euthanized. 494 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:25.760 A month later. Camp and Mackenzie are both recovering. Camp is back at 495 00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:30.639 work and it can now use both of her arms. Mackenzie has scars on 496 00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:35.800 her face, but gets her stitches out this week. She's a strong little 497 00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:37.519 girl and a fighter. Camp said. She is meant to be here. 498 00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:44.920 Even after the irdeal, Camp says she still loves dogs no matter the breed. 499 00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:50.039 This is a rough one because it's not it's not just pit bulls. 500 00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:55.400 Pit Bulls get a bad rap. They can be so so sweet, but 501 00:46:55.559 --> 00:47:02.679 just like any dog, they can be aggressive. I mean typically the most 502 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:09.039 aggressive dog is a Chihuahua. I think we all know that there are actually 503 00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:16.920 more reports of injuries or needing to get stitches or dog bites from Chihuahuas than 504 00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:23.840 any other dog breed. I know it's shocking. Pit bulls get a bad 505 00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:30.960 rap. They do that can be wonderful, wonderful dogs. No one knows 506 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:37.840 why this dog snapped and attacked a little kid. At one point, pit 507 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:44.639 bulls were known as nanny dogs because they were great with children. So I 508 00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:50.760 don't know why this dog snapped, and it's a shame. Luckily, the 509 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.360 little girl and her mom are both fine and they made a complete and full 510 00:47:54.400 --> 00:48:07.519 recovery. Now this next one has to do with a bear encounter. This 511 00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:15.440 is from twenty fourteen, and this is from shoot Missoulian dot com. Missoula 512 00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:23.079 woman saves six year olds from bear encounter. A Missoula woman's quick thinking saved 513 00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:28.480 her friends six year old sons from a potential encounter with a black bear as 514 00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:32.320 they waited for the school bus in residential area of West Missoula. I'm not 515 00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:37.039 sure if I'm saying that right. Please don't have me about it, just 516 00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:42.800 because doubt I'm ever gonna have to say this again. Candice Gamma saw Blake 517 00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:47.360 and Braden Williams standing on the sidewalk Thursday morning and then spotted a bear about 518 00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:53.360 twenty yards away. Gamma drove her car between the boys and the bear and 519 00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:58.440 yelled for them to get in the car. When they didn't respond quickly enough, 520 00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:01.079 Gamma says she grabbed them by their backpacks and threw them in the car. 521 00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:06.920 The boy's mother, Kim Williams, says the boy's grandfather was ready to 522 00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:12.920 confront Gamma when he heard her scream bear bear. Blake and Braden say they 523 00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:16.360 weren't scared. Gamma's five year old daughter, Alison, said her mom was 524 00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:24.400 the hero of the day. How cool is that? I have never seen 525 00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:31.239 a bear in person? I imagine it would be fucking terrifying. I wonder 526 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.800 bears don't typically come into neighborhoods, do they? At least not while people 527 00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:40.920 are out and about? And I might have to actually look into that. 528 00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:45.719 I know people catch them on their their outdoor cameras and security cams and stuff 529 00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:52.559 like that, but did they come into neighborhoods regularly? Let me know if 530 00:49:52.599 --> 00:50:02.840 you know. Now this next one, all I think heard a version of 531 00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:08.760 this tale. This is from twenty fifteen, and this is on NBC news 532 00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:15.719 dot com. Hostage Florida mother uses Pizza Hut phone app to call for help. 533 00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:22.599 A Florida mother being held hostage at knife point by her boyfriend, managed 534 00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:29.639 to call for help using a pizza delivery app. Police said Cheryl Treadway convinced 535 00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:34.679 her boyfriend to let her use her phone to order from Pizza Hut, but 536 00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:39.639 as well as requesting a small hand tossed classic pizza with pepperoni, Treadway also 537 00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:45.920 wrote nine on one hostage help in the order's comments, prompting the Pizza Hut 538 00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:53.000 to call the authorities. Police responded to the pizza chain and to Treadway's home 539 00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.960 in Highlands County after she made the order on Monday, at which point she 540 00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:02.760 ran outside holding a small child. Treadway's boyfriend, twenty six year old Ethan 541 00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:08.199 Earl Nickerson, was persuaded to come outside peacefully, and her other two children 542 00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:14.719 were unharmed. Police said, we've never seen that before. Candy Hamilton, 543 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.599 manager of the restaurant that took the order, to WFLA, I've been here 544 00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:24.880 twenty eight years and never never seen nothing like that. Nickerson was charged with 545 00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:30.760 aggravated assault with a weapon, battery, false imprisonment, and obstructing justice by 546 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:37.239 depriving communication to law enforcement. I couldn't find any more updates to the story 547 00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:43.800 either, but this is actually a suggestion that police give now if you are 548 00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:49.480 in trouble and you can't openly call nine one one, they see to do 549 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:54.159 something like this place a food order of some kind and in the comments section 550 00:51:55.199 --> 00:52:04.440 put nine one one and then like hostage or kidnapped or whatever it may be. 551 00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:08.199 Because there's all your information is on there, the address where you're at, 552 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:15.360 everything police will respond. So if you're ever in a situation where you 553 00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:22.159 need that, that is a phenomenal, phenomenal tip to do now. This 554 00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:29.360 last one, this is another amazing mom and she gave up quite a bit 555 00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:37.800 to save her son from a burning building. This is by Ankita Mishra on 556 00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:43.679 her do Women Working dot com and this is from March nineteenth of twenty twenty. 557 00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:50.119 Heroic mom broke her back to save son from burning house by jumping off 558 00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:58.039 third floor balcony. A mother's love is as tender as it is fierce when 559 00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:00.880 it comes to protecting her child from danger. She will risk everything, even 560 00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:07.639 her life, if that's what it takes. A mom from Massachusetts took a 561 00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:10.880 plunge for life and broke her spine in an attempt to save her son from 562 00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:19.559 the devastating fire that was engulfing their apartment. Back in twenty fourteen, the 563 00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:24.000 then twenty three year old Christina Samoa's found herself trapped in her house when their 564 00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:30.480 building was going up in flames. As the fire started to engulf their home, 565 00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:35.800 the only thought in her mind was how to save her eighteen month old 566 00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:40.880 son, Cameron. As she peered out the window, she saw thick flames. 567 00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:45.719 She immediately grabbed Cameron and ran to the front door, but the hallway 568 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:51.280 was filled with smoke. Soon she understood that there was no way out of 569 00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:55.760 the house but the balcony. Given that it was the only choice, she 570 00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:00.920 decided to hold her son in her arms and throw herself off off the balcony 571 00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:07.880 backward. Needless to mention, it takes a lot of courage to jump off 572 00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:12.480 of a third floor When it comes to risking her life to save her child 573 00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:20.440 or give up A mother's choice is most likely the former. Explaining the incident, 574 00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:23.119 she said, I looked out the window again realized there wasn't going to 575 00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:29.280 be any time to wait for a firefighter. She realized she had to jump. 576 00:54:30.519 --> 00:54:32.920 I grabbed my son and I gave him a kiss, she recalled. 577 00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:39.199 I told him I loved him, and then I jumped. Although she landed 578 00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:45.840 on her feet first, she soon collapsed. The impact broke her vertebrae. 579 00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:53.199 Nestled in his mother's arms, Cameron was fine. Her struggle to save her 580 00:54:53.239 --> 00:54:59.519 son didn't stop there. With a broken back, Christina Army crawled away from 581 00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:06.239 the debris and later was airlifted by a local hospital. Her son was fine, 582 00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:10.559 but the plunge cost the twenty three year old mom her back. After 583 00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:15.559 a few lengthy surgeries, she was out of danger, but it had a 584 00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:22.360 severe nerve impact on her. I'm not doing great, but I'm alive. 585 00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:27.679 But she was elated that her son was fine. It's so worth it because 586 00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:32.159 he's okay, she said. It's amazing to see him perfectly fine and playing. 587 00:55:34.920 --> 00:55:38.079 Her boyfriend at the time, Tyler Strangman, told the news outlet, 588 00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:44.320 this is the longest he's ever been away from her. Ever. Since this 589 00:55:44.360 --> 00:55:47.920 incident, Christina has been hailed as a heroic mom, but real life heroes 590 00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:53.719 are not superhumans. Doctors soon informed the family that she will probably never be 591 00:55:53.760 --> 00:55:59.800 able to walk again, but being the courageous woman she is, she took 592 00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:04.920 this challenge as well. According to the GOFUNI page set up for the case, 593 00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:10.079 the young mong proved the doctor's wrong. Seven weeks, two days. 594 00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:15.360 I am now able to climb the stairs while just being supervised. I can 595 00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:20.400 use the bathroom unassisted. I can transfer too in from my bed in my 596 00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:25.159 chair unassisted. I took my first steps, not holding on to anything would 597 00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:31.440 just shelby supporting my hips. Today I walked one hundred and ninety five feet 598 00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:37.280 with my new crutches and balanced on a foam board with a ball between my 599 00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:44.719 knees. I'd say we're making progress, she wrote at the time. Christina 600 00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:47.119 is not only a brave mother who didn't step back from doing what it takes 601 00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:52.440 to save her son's life, but she is also a brave woman who proved 602 00:56:52.440 --> 00:57:00.360 that strong will power can do miracles. More power to you. So as 603 00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:06.880 you see moms a lot, most moms, not all, I'm aware of 604 00:57:06.920 --> 00:57:14.880 the ones that are not like this. Moms tend to want to do anything 605 00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:21.559 they can to make sure their children are safe, healthy and happy dads are 606 00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:25.920 too, and maybe for Father's Day I'll do something similar to this for amazing 607 00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:35.000 dads. But that's the end of our episode. I decided to do all 608 00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:40.360 of them in one and just make this a long episode. I'm still gonna 609 00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:45.679 go over some iTunes reviews, so this is going to be a kind of 610 00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:53.039 lengthy episode. If you don't want to listen to the iTunes reviews, feel 611 00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:57.880 free to end this episode now. Thank you for listening. I'll see you 612 00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:01.440 next time. For those of you that want to listen to the iTunes reviews, 613 00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:10.360 let's hop right into it. Okay, So just a reminder, we 614 00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:15.519 are going from oldest to newest for these iTunes reviews. We've only made it 615 00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:22.960 to June so far.

Outstanding love, the mix up, 617 00:58:29.239 --> 00:58:32.599 heard you originally on Mysterious Circumstances, then dot hook like a Fish after 618 00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:38.719 checking out the Elizabeth Bathory episode, great research and great delivery. He is 619 00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:45.400 the host of The Sinful Show. I think as of now he's doing more 620 00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:51.719 interviews, or at least the last time I checked with everything, especially right 621 00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:53.760 Now with the kids being home, I don't have time to really listen to 622 00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:59.360 as many shows as I used to, so I have not had a chance 623 00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:04.719 to go back and check his stuff out that he's been doing lately. I 624 00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:08.280 did have the opportunity to come on to his show there for a bit and 625 00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:16.119 we sat there and we just send They're shooting the ship, talking about witchcraft, 626 00:59:16.280 --> 00:59:21.119 things like that podcasting.

Just 634 01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:04.320 does an amazing job of bringing these stories to life while giving you a ton 635 01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:08.000 of details. She definitely does her research.

Go over and say 639 01:00:23.639 --> 01:00:30.880 your name. I've been planning a couple of really really big episodes for a 640 01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:37.199 while now.

I am also working on an episode for the Lost Colony of Roanoke. 645 01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:05.960 These are topics that are enormous. I mean, it'll get a lot 646 01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:08.639 easier now that I don't have to homeschool kids. This is their last week, 647 01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:13.960 so that is going to be terrific.

You have a beautiful 655 01:01:54.960 --> 01:02:00.360 way of conveying stories I've heard on other podcasts with much more in depth search 656 01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:05.880 and personal accounts of firsthand witnesses. You are my spirit animal. Thank you, 657 01:02:06.320 --> 01:02:12.320 Ali, Thank you Ali. That is an amazing, really sweet review. 658 01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:16.760 Thank you so so much. I think there are a couple of episodes 659 01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:24.639 that I dug pretty pretty freaking deep into, especially the ones that do have 660 01:02:24.719 --> 01:02:30.519 a lot of information if you look in certain areas. As much as I 661 01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:37.679 love doing episodes like these that are just uplifting and fun, I want to 662 01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:45.119 do more that do have that heavy research again, just because I've only been 663 01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:50.719 doing these ones as fun as they are to do because I can't do the 664 01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:52.760 research that I normally do. But I don't want to just take a break, 665 01:02:52.880 --> 01:03:00.000 you know. So next is Deathly Hollows seven. Oh I love that, 666 01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:07.519 Thank you, Oh, thank you. This show. This show is 667 01:03:07.559 --> 01:03:13.199 exactly what this Midwestern girl was looking for, non judgmental space for me to 668 01:03:13.239 --> 01:03:16.760 explore all topics that are taboo. This show is straight up there with hillbilly 669 01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:22.360 horror Stories, Graveyard Tales, and Brohio. Cannot wait for more shows to 670 01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:25.840 be released as I am all caught up. Well, thank you so much. 671 01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:35.960 That is a huge compliment for me that I'm blown away. I love 672 01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:39.239 all three of those shows. Hillbilly Horror Stories, Graveyard Tales, Brohio. 673 01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:45.679 I love all three of those shows. Those are three of my absolute favorites, 674 01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:52.039 along with of course Mysterious Circumstances and quite a few others. It's multi 675 01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:57.119 murder and that's why we drink. I have a ton of favorites that as 676 01:03:57.159 --> 01:04:00.159 soon as like a new episode comes out, I'm listening, even if I 677 01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:05.320 got to put my headphones in, like with Orohio with the kids being home, 678 01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:09.440 I have to wear my headphones to listen to them. But I absolutely 679 01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:18.599 love them now. Next r wp Kola great podcast, heard their ad on 680 01:04:18.679 --> 01:04:24.840 Graveyard Tales and gave it a listen. Really like it. I'm not sure 681 01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:33.159 this one's for me. I remember getting this and sending Adam a message and 682 01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:38.159 I was like, hey, shoote, I listened to every episode, but 683 01:04:38.199 --> 01:04:43.800 I've never heard you mention my show, so it was a mix up. 684 01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:50.960 I don't know if they were mistaken on what show they heard one of my 685 01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:57.480 ads on or if this is supposed to be for a different show, but 686 01:04:57.559 --> 01:05:00.800 either way, thank you. I mean it's five stars at hell. This 687 01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:09.920 next one is from dire x nine excellent. I started listening after meeting Jessica 688 01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:13.599 at the live show and Indie for three other pods. It was fun hanging 689 01:05:13.599 --> 01:05:16.199 out and chatting at the after party. I love the show and the unique 690 01:05:16.199 --> 01:05:20.280 content. I especially liked the episode on funny Folklore. Keep it up and 691 01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:28.840 hope to see y'all at another show. The live show in Indie. Last 692 01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:30.440 year was that? Last year? Was that? The year before? I 693 01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:36.639 can't remember either. Last year the year before was so much fun. I 694 01:05:36.760 --> 01:05:44.159 had an absolute blast there and it was so great getting to meet everybody. 695 01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:49.880 The name on here I can't remember who this is, but I'm sure I 696 01:05:49.920 --> 01:05:56.119 had a blast with you two. I had a blast the entire time I 697 01:05:56.159 --> 01:06:01.199 was there. It was it was just so much fun. Kays oh one 698 01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:06.480 time. I like the ghost stories and true crime, but I'm not into 699 01:06:06.519 --> 01:06:10.000 the podcast that I love. What the hell is this? I think this 700 01:06:10.039 --> 01:06:15.039 one is for supposed to be for somebody else, but I'm not into the 701 01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:18.119 podcast that I listened to to get away from politics. Then to hear the 702 01:06:18.199 --> 01:06:23.880 extended opinions of political issues aren't what I came for. Otherwise, the stories 703 01:06:23.880 --> 01:06:31.280 are decent. I don't think this one was for me. I don't ever 704 01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:36.360 talk about politics, so maybe that one was a noops. It was three 705 01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:43.159 stars, so not terrible, but I don't think that one was supposed to 706 01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:50.320 be for me. Next is feather Fiddler, Thank you, hither one of 707 01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:57.079 my favorites. Really enjoyed listening to this podcast. It's entertaining and I'm always 708 01:06:57.159 --> 01:07:01.559 learning new things. I love expanding my knowledge of all things, and just 709 01:07:01.719 --> 01:07:08.280 delivers the info in such a captivating way. I appreciate. I appreciate her 710 01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:12.440 perspective and depth of knowledge. Thanks so much, and keep up the great 711 01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.679 work. Thank you, Heather. I love that Thank you so much. 712 01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:24.159 Definitely makes up for the one before that. Redcoat seventeen seventy six, highly 713 01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:29.519 enjoyable and informative podcast. I'm a huge fan of the supernatural, cryptid and 714 01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:33.719 folklore's type topics. I found this podcast while searching around for this material and 715 01:07:33.760 --> 01:07:36.960 took a chance on it. I can tell you that I am glad that 716 01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:43.039 I did, as it is a great podcast and I enjoyed listening to it 717 01:07:43.119 --> 01:07:47.280 all the time. Keep up the sum as, keep up the awesome episodes. 718 01:07:47.880 --> 01:07:54.800 Thank you so much. This next one is a three star. All 719 01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:58.079 the ones that I've talked about so far, except for the one that said 720 01:07:58.119 --> 01:08:02.800 something about politics, we're five stars. That one was a three star in 721 01:08:02.840 --> 01:08:11.119 this one is a three star. PB Varsity twenty. Love everything but the 722 01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:15.520 theme music the podcast is great, but the intro music is such a mood 723 01:08:15.600 --> 01:08:19.199 killer. It's super jarring and doesn't fit the tone of the rest of the 724 01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:27.359 podcast. I did address this at one point before. I try to remember. 725 01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:30.520 I think I do it most of the time, but sometimes I do 726 01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:35.279 forget to kind of make that intro part fade in a little bit so it's 727 01:08:35.319 --> 01:08:42.920 not just like wham starting out, you know. I try to remember I 728 01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:49.359 will have to actually go in and edit my actual intro part so that when 729 01:08:49.399 --> 01:08:53.520 I so that I don't have an opportunity to forget, you know, I 730 01:08:53.640 --> 01:09:03.159 just forget to do it beforeand oh goodness, all Diva Diana intro. I 731 01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:08.680 happen to love the intro music. It rocks and totally fits the show. 732 01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:14.319 The story this week was awesome. That was back in August thank you so 733 01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:20.960 much, Diva Diana. I love the introm music too. Most of you 734 01:09:21.039 --> 01:09:27.159 know by now. That's a band that my husband is in called Love Turns 735 01:09:27.199 --> 01:09:30.279 Hate. If you want to hear more of their songs, you can search 736 01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:36.760 Love Turns Hate on YouTube. Even if you just search for that song, 737 01:09:38.079 --> 01:09:42.000 it's not over. Then you can come across a lot of their other ones. 738 01:09:42.039 --> 01:09:49.239 I think there's eleven that they released. Next one is a w Vanderwolf. 739 01:09:49.960 --> 01:09:55.640 Great podcast. My daughter and I have been listening since early on and 740 01:09:55.880 --> 01:09:59.960 love the content and the intro. Keep it up. Thank you so much. 741 01:10:01.640 --> 01:10:06.840 Dao fifteen eighty four. Absolutely amazing. I always look forward to Jessica's 742 01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:12.479 new episodes. They're informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work. Jess 743 01:10:13.159 --> 01:10:18.199 Jewels from Women Behind the Veil, Thank you Jewels, and I love I 744 01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:25.560 adore Jewels. She's an amazing person and she's so fucking funny. I'm not 745 01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:30.159 on social media very often. I tend to stay off of there a little 746 01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:33.640 bit, and even sometimes when I do hop on to try to check things, 747 01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:40.000 like I'll look through my notifications and then I'll get like sidetracked on a 748 01:10:40.079 --> 01:10:44.880 video or something. But her group for women behind the veil. She posts 749 01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:47.680 some of the funniest shit, my goodness, and she's so sweet, Like 750 01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:55.720 we talk regularly all the time, and I absolutely love her. Zerata b 751 01:10:58.239 --> 01:11:04.000 amazing storytelling, so not weird at all. I found your podcast in what 752 01:11:04.079 --> 01:11:09.239 I like to call my valley of emotions, you know, when it just 753 01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:12.239 kind of dips and I need to distract myself. Oh, I know what 754 01:11:12.239 --> 01:11:16.199 you're talking about. You have given me such an amazing fine. You have 755 01:11:16.279 --> 01:11:20.399 beautiful story telling skills. Keep up the great work. Can't wait till I'm 756 01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:25.800 fully caught up. Well, I really hope you were able to come out 757 01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:30.680 of that dip. I know it sucks in a little bit of a dip 758 01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:33.840 right now myself. No idea why, no reason for it, but it's 759 01:11:33.840 --> 01:11:39.199 just kind of like, so I get it. I hope you're able to 760 01:11:39.199 --> 01:11:45.439 come out of that all right, Gaming unicycled style, interesting name. Love 761 01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:50.039 it with a bunch of black hearts. Heard about your podcast from Hillbilly Horror 762 01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:54.479 Stories and I've been binge listening for a few days now. All I can 763 01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:59.000 say is I love it. What thank you? And I love you. 764 01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:03.560 I don't know how you guys can binge listen to me. That blows my 765 01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:14.079 mind. Next one is Angie nineteen seventy four awesome podcast. Just finished listening 766 01:12:14.079 --> 01:12:17.479 to your episodes on basic Witchcraft. Thank you for them. I joined a 767 01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:23.279 couple of witchcraft groups on Facebook that are so complicated and overwhelming. You have 768 01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:27.479 really helped me see that it doesn't have to be that way. It is 769 01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:31.159 something you can seriously make your own. And thank you also for the Witchcraft 770 01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:35.640 and Christianity episode. I was raised by a Bible thumber, if you will, 771 01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:41.039 but left all that behind when I left home, and I refuse to 772 01:12:41.039 --> 01:12:44.640 push any beliefs on my sons. I want them to find their path on 773 01:12:44.680 --> 01:12:48.680 their own. Glad to know you are like minded in that way. Well, 774 01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:56.720 thank you, Angie. That is very true. I forget what episode 775 01:12:56.760 --> 01:13:00.520 it was that I talked about being a mom while I also being a witch. 776 01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:05.520 I don't push anything on my kids. I want them to be very 777 01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:11.439 open minded to find what's right for them. If they decide to grow up 778 01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:17.239 and be very Christian, Jewish, Muslim, pagan follow a Norse tradition, 779 01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:26.079 witchcraft just general pagan wickan, it doesn't matter as long as they're happy and 780 01:13:26.159 --> 01:13:30.399 it's right for them. And yeah, a lot of the groups on Facebook 781 01:13:30.439 --> 01:13:44.920 for witchcraft people are negative nancies. It is mind boggling. I don't like 782 01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:50.479 the Debbie Downers. I get so frustrated. I ended up leaving quite a 783 01:13:50.520 --> 01:13:54.359 few of those groups. There are some that I'm in that I just kind 784 01:13:54.399 --> 01:13:59.680 of like lurk and then if somebody posts something really cool, like I'll in 785 01:13:59.720 --> 01:14:04.359 a act a little bit, but I don't comment or anything because it's some 786 01:14:04.479 --> 01:14:12.079 of these groups it's like there are piranhas populating them and they're just waiting for 787 01:14:12.119 --> 01:14:20.560 some tender meat to come along. It's insane, like express one different opinion 788 01:14:21.720 --> 01:14:29.479 and they'll attack you for it. It's not a great environment for even like 789 01:14:29.880 --> 01:14:33.960 people coming into this new It's not a good environment for people that have been 790 01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:41.640 practicing for a long ass time, let alone coming in new Alright, I'm 791 01:14:41.680 --> 01:14:50.279 gonna do I think two more? Okay, woilche Woman twenty eighteen. Who 792 01:14:50.720 --> 01:14:56.199 I like that one? Whoops? Sorry, that's my husband texted me on 793 01:14:56.279 --> 01:15:00.319 his break That was very unprofessional podcast. Oh my god, I just found 794 01:15:00.319 --> 01:15:04.159 your podcast and I have binged the whole thing. Love your voice and the 795 01:15:04.239 --> 01:15:10.680 stories. Thank you for sharing. Thank you so much. A witchy woman. 796 01:15:11.079 --> 01:15:15.520 I love that name. That is very sweet of you. Again, 797 01:15:15.680 --> 01:15:24.079 I don't know how you binged all of that, but thank you. Next 798 01:15:24.680 --> 01:15:33.039 is History Goes Bump. I absolutely adore History Goes Bump the podcast. Diane 799 01:15:33.039 --> 01:15:41.479 and Kelly are two amazing people. I absolutely love both of them. It 800 01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:45.279 was so nice getting to meet them. I met them at the live show 801 01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:51.920 hill Billy Horror Stories did in West Virginia the Moth Band place Point Pleasant. 802 01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:57.560 Okay, I couldn't remember the name of the town, but this is the 803 01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:01.359 one from either Diane or don't Diane, It's Diane. I kept I had 804 01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:09.319 to keep reading. One of the best. Oh you flatter me. I 805 01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:13.840 listened to a ton of podcasts and I'm pretty picky. This one locked me 806 01:16:13.880 --> 01:16:17.720 in fast and I'm hooked. Instead of another tired paranormal podcast cut from the 807 01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:23.560 same cloth, this one is unique. Jess as a great voice in cadence. 808 01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:28.399 The production is awesome and the topics are interesting. The music for the 809 01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:32.359 intro and outro is great because this podcast screams metal of rock with a feminine 810 01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:42.239 touch. Keep up the great work, Diane. That makes me insanely happy. 811 01:16:43.279 --> 01:16:48.319 Thank you so much, Diane, Diane's been in this business for quite 812 01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:55.079 a while. I think five or six years she's been doing this. The 813 01:16:55.159 --> 01:16:59.800 whole layout of her podcast history goes mom but is just amazing. I love 814 01:16:59.880 --> 01:17:03.680 their show. I love the bloopers at the end that they're doing now. 815 01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:10.239 I get so excited for those. But I think we're going to end the 816 01:17:10.279 --> 01:17:16.520 reviews there for right now. Thank you guys so much for listening. You 817 01:17:16.560 --> 01:17:23.039 all are awesome. I'll see you in about two weeks with a new episode. 818 01:17:24.800 --> 01:17:27.880 In the meantime, if you want some extra content, I do have 819 01:17:27.960 --> 01:17:30.439 a Patreon. You can go on there look for shoes, business, tattoos. 820 01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:36.279 I do bonus videos and bonus episodes. Join the Facebook group.
