Why 60 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:44.439 we're chatting for a minute. 61 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:50.000 Absolutely, And I'm I'm super duper excited to be able 62 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:56.079 to have, you know, this conversation because these are such 63 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.879 like unique things, and there are still people that are 64 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:07.160 born with very unique kinds of disabilities. Whoa buffalo and 65 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:12.920 stuff like that, but it is, you know, these are 66 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:19.199 things of days gone by where not only did they 67 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:26.879 display people in freak shows or side shows, but also 68 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.040 incubator babies. There were some very interesting things that went 69 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.720 on at the World's Fairs with the incubator baby. 70 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:45.040 So you know me, I'm an incubator lady. Yes, I 71 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.319 do so much on those because it doesn't make any sense. 72 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.879 I think that's where the nephelum jeens came in. I 73 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:52.040 don't know what they did there. 74 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:57.959 Yeah, yeah, and we put babies on display at a 75 00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.800 world'sphare for what reason. 76 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.560 They also gave them away. They gave them away like 77 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:05.720 here's your prize. 78 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.120 Well, it's like it's like coming to adopt a puppy 79 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.680 or something, which behind door number two. I think I'll 80 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:14.879 take that one home with me. 81 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:15.439 Yeah. 82 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.800 And a quarter million children people between the orphan trains 83 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.360 and this is what they'll cop to. Let's not play 84 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.720 between the orphan trains and the incubator babies. Over a 85 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.120 quarter million children were involved with this. I'm sorry. Women 86 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.000 were having one baby a year, don't mistake the twins 87 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.040 were dying, very rarely living. Let's be real here, even 88 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.879 with prostitution, it's one a year. 89 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.639 Well, and not to mention the fact that a lot 90 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.920 of these occurrences. A lot of these diagnoses that we're 91 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.399 going to go through on this series had to do 92 00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.399 with certain medications that were used during those periods of time. 93 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:06.399 So they created these things, did they knowingly create these 94 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:07.519 things for a purpose? 95 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.000 Well, that gets us into pickled punks and for anybody 96 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.959 that is sensitive when we get to the mermaid part, 97 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.839 I'm going to warn you again in case you tune 98 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.839 in late, you're not going to want to visually see 99 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.480 it if you have a problem with pickled punks, which 100 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.240 are babies and jars, and I didn't put them there, 101 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.639 and they're real, They're not like fake AI created. This 102 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.040 is from a museum. Everything we're doing is for informational 103 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.639 purposes and educational purposes. 104 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:36.680 Right absolutely. 105 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:44.000 So, since we are doing the Seafarer diagnoses, that means 106 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:48.480 that we are going to cover Lobster Boy, Mermaid Girl, 107 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.519 and seal Boy, and so first up on our radar 108 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.800 and we have the lovely picture here for anybody that's 109 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:03.560 watching the video as Lobster Boy. So this one, to me, 110 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.279 out of the three that we're doing today is the 111 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.160 most interesting one because this this guy had a hinged 112 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.160 he's a he was a little questionable all. 113 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.319 Right, so very unhinged. 114 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:27.959 Yes, yeah, I would say slightly, slightly not normal, and 115 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.320 that's putting it mildly. So this lobster boy nickname comes 116 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:40.679 from a congenital condition called uh ectrodactyle, also known as 117 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:47.879 lobster claw deformity or split hand split foot malformation. And 118 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.759 so there they think, which I have to wonder, right, 119 00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:02.639 it says it's a congenital genetic disorder. This particular person, 120 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:07.919 his name is Grady Styles Junior. Literally all the way 121 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:12.480 back to like eighteen forty, multiple members of the same 122 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:20.000 family had this condition, And so is it probably congenital 123 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:27.720 in most instances, yes, but this is super rare. That's 124 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:32.200 a very interesting picture. I can't imagine. Got me, bro, 125 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:38.240 you know that this is like part of your family DNA, 126 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:43.919 and you keep replicating and reproducing and it keeps. 127 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.240 Doing going and going. Yep. It's and and a lot 128 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.639 of times they marry, like he was married, I think, 129 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.759 to another lobster claw person. 130 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.679 Right, yeah, so it's to be think you yeah, you 131 00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:01.200 think you want to stop reproducing? It's they're on yeah, 132 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:04.120 and they and they don't you know, like treatment back 133 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.879 in the day was not what it is now. 134 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.919 So This is a very rare condition. 135 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:15.279 Literally affects roughly one and ninety to one hundred and 136 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:22.039 fifty thousand births, so pretty pretty rare condition. I would 137 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:29.120 say has to do with genetic mutations like TP sixty 138 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:37.960 three gene variants, often autosomal trait wise or spontaneous mutations, 139 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.960 which occurs when there's no family history of anything. 140 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.120 Or what about that picture Janet, Oh, that's. 141 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.799 Yeah, so he he has lobster claw feet instead of 142 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:56.960 lobster clall hands the hands or the art of terrifying trait. 143 00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.639 How would you put shoes? 144 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.000 No, I don't think they do. I think maybe not. 145 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.000 I don't even know, but this one I felt so 146 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.480 bad for this person because I'm like, look at the 147 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:13.200 width mm hmm, like this is and I mean, it's 148 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:14.639 just it's very strange. 149 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.759 I would say that like in the winter months or something, 150 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.799 maybe there was somebody that was able to make like 151 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:28.120 specialty socks, specialty shoes, you know, something like that for people, 152 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:29.360 I would say, I would. 153 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.320 Hope so, and they end up in wheelchairs because they 154 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:36.480 can't walk properly in general, so maybe they don't have 155 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.159 to worry too much about the the shoes. 156 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.519 Because like you need your big toe for balance, right. 157 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:47.080 And then since since they don't fuse properly, the bones 158 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.399 don't fuse properly and they don't form properly, you have 159 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:57.039 no ability for stability. And that's one of the things 160 00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.879 that they talked about with the you know, the super 161 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.559 famous Lobster Boy was. 162 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.600 Because his son. Did you know that this is Lobster 163 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.200 Boy's son and so and he lived quite a while. 164 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:14.039 I have some info on him, but he strangely enough, though, 165 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.759 Look at his claw is very different. It's almost split 166 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:18.919 all the way down. 167 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:24.759 Yeah, it looks like somebody severed the hand, like right 168 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:25.559 down the middle. 169 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.799 Mm hmmm. It's different than these ones. And these are 170 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.639 all his family, you know, like this this is like 171 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.720 his family members. But whoa that one? It keeps wanting 172 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.120 to go to that picture. This is him as well, 173 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.720 and it's just like that one is so marked and 174 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.639 I think possibly because the mother and the father had it. 175 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.000 It really. 176 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:47.720 Was something to get a number. 177 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:54.639 Yeah, and that's that's what you know, like reproducing, when 178 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:59.919 you have this genetic mutation, you have to wonder if 179 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.600 over time it doesn't make this more and more and 180 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.720 more severe to where it keeps mutating and keeps mutating 181 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.240 and causing further deformity, since his are so. 182 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:19.399 Very different, very strange. This this webbing between this one, 183 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:22.840 I don't think normally happens on the others. I think 184 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.399 these are just a claw more like this one right here, 185 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.559 and then I'm just not sure. But that one, yeah, see, 186 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.840 the difference is so market. I didn't know which one 187 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:39.159 would be better. I mean, would you want more finger? 188 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.720 I don't know. 189 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:47.240 I cannot even I would say I would. That one 190 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.240 to me is not as. 191 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:55.279 Not as upsetting as the picture because. 192 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.720 You think maybe they cut them down on him to 193 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.080 see these scars right here. 194 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:08.159 I would say it's a possibility because when they're you know, 195 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:14.279 of course, ultrasound being at what it is nowadays, right, 196 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.240 so they can see a lot of these things in 197 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.200 the womb nowadays. But back in the day that was 198 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.399 that was not the case, and so they would literally 199 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.120 have to wait until they're born and go, oh, through 200 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:35.240 physical observation, yeah, like you're are you were not formed normally, 201 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.080 And so of course they can do like genetic testing 202 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.559 and stuff now, but back in the day, again that 203 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:50.519 was not really a thing. But surgical reconstructive surgery is 204 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.240 you know, something that they try to do on these people, 205 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.720 and so to your point, looks like there are scars 206 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.559 on his hands where they may have tried some kind 207 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:06.480 of reconstruction. I don't know exactly what they were attempting here. 208 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.639 I googled it and they said they didn't reduce. But 209 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.679 that's shocking to me. I think they would have. 210 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:17.559 I think, yeah, because those those look like uh, pretty 211 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:19.559 scarsitive scars to me. 212 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.559 To me too, I mean, because it doesn't look like 213 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.279 the rest of these guys look the mother. Maybe this 214 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.759 is the mother. I'm not sure his. I'm not sure 215 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.360 that who's related to who here, but they're all related 216 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.600 to each other somehow. But it seems like the deeper 217 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.000 it goes, see how hers is really. 218 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:46.519 Her part way up her radius and alma where. 219 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.200 This one seems more like the dad probably, you. 220 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:56.360 Know, because the son that you showed it almost it 221 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.440 doesn't look like lobster claws anymore. It honestly, he looks 222 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.679 like almost like chicken feet. 223 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.080 Yeah, I thought the same thing. Yeah, yeah, and I 224 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.919 would you would think these would be less functional, but 225 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.759 maybe not. I'm not sure because I've never met anybody 226 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.320 with this, but you would think with the claw you 227 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.639 could at least maneuver better, whereas if it was so 228 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:20.840 long like this, it might becumbersome. 229 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.600 And I don't I mean, it looks like it's one 230 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:29.559 long bone through there, so I don't know how much 231 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.399 mobility you would have in your hands to be able to, 232 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.960 you know, pick things up or whatever. So it says 233 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:44.159 for the surgical reconstruction, they close the cleft, which that 234 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:46.960 may be a cleft if they're saying that he never 235 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:54.879 had reconstruction done, and then separate fused digits. I think 236 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:59.480 I would still rather have like the lobster claw than the. 237 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:04.160 Chicken feet, just to just for functionality. 238 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:08.599 Right, because those are closer together the claw is, so 239 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.720 it would be much easier I would think to like 240 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.160 pick things up and you know. 241 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.240 Dress help or whatever. Yeah, exactly right. 242 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:25.440 So they said, uh, treatment for this also is of course, 243 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.920 like prosthetics, orthopedic care. I'm they have got to have 244 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:37.279 like specialty shoes things like that, because there's no way 245 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.680 you could go like barefoot in the winter. That would 246 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.480 be awful. Physical and occupational therapy because of course they're 247 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.079 going to have to teach them like how to do 248 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.759 pretty much everything you have to relearn or you know, 249 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.920 teach somebody that is born with that kind of malformation 250 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:05.279 how to function in their daily lives. Yes, So this 251 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:12.319 lobster boy, Grady Styles Junior, he was born in nineteen 252 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:18.880 thirty seven. He lived in nineteen ninety two. Because don't daunt, 253 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:20.720 dun't what happened to him, Heidi. 254 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.319 He was took out like a mob hit by a little, 255 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.880 tiny guy, by the smallest man in the world. And 256 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.799 I'm not kidding. 257 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.079 This is where it gets really weird because since he 258 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:42.000 was born this way, I imagine that people that have 259 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:50.799 conditions like this probably have some emotional scars, not just 260 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.480 from their malformations, but also any kind of trauma from surgeries, 261 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.039 lots of bullying, you know, the whole nine yards. So 262 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:06.559 this guy developed a raging temper and then ad feel 263 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:10.559 to the fire and he was an alcoholic. 264 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:18.400 So and for me, his children hated him. He threw 265 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.920 his daughter Kathy out of her wheelchair at seven months pregnant, 266 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.200 and luckily the baby survived. But yeah, the wife, after 267 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.119 he learned how to maneuver his claws to choke her 268 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.240 a lot, Apparently she'd had enough of that, so she 269 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.920 left him for the midgic guy. I don't know. I 270 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:35.759 think he was a dwarf. 271 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:37.799 Yeah, it said that he was. 272 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.680 He was also a sideshow performer and that he was 273 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:47.839 at the time the smallest man on earth. And so 274 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:51.720 her name was Teresa, that was his that was his 275 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:58.440 first wife. This guy literally was married twice. How that happens, 276 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:02.279 I don't know, but I'm assuming it's probably people that 277 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.599 you meet in that world that they were living in. 278 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:09.400 And so. 279 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.160 Since he was an alcoholic, had a massive, massive temper, 280 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.880 His daughter was engaged to a guy that he absolutely 281 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:27.119 did not like. So the night before their wedding, he 282 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:32.400 shot and killed her fiance just because he didn't like him, 283 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:35.240 and so. 284 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:38.400 He was tried. 285 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:44.240 He was convicted, however, because of his condition, like no 286 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.400 state facility would take him, no prison would take him, 287 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:54.440 because they said they were not equipped to accommodate somebody 288 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.799 with special needs like this, and so he literally got 289 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:04.440 house arrest us and fifteen years of probation for cold 290 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.200 blooded murder. 291 00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:08.160 I also don't understand how it was third degree murder, 292 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.759 like when you're purposely taking somebody out to the head. 293 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.000 I don't I don't understand that, but whatever, I. 294 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:17.839 Don't know either. 295 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.880 But supposedly after this incident where he murdered her fiance, 296 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.759 he realized that he had a problem, and so he 297 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:33.000 stopped drinking and he was clean and sober for a while, 298 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:39.680 you know, which I'm sure tampered the temper down a tad, right, 299 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:44.599 And then him and his first wife, Teresa, decided to 300 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.880 get back together again, and it lowered the hold. As 301 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.160 soon as they got married, he got worse and worse 302 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:56.799 and worse and was more violent. So during the time 303 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.519 that they were divorced and that she got married to 304 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:05.599 the smallest man on earth, they had a son, and 305 00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:11.079 her and Teresa and the son from that previous marriage 306 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.400 decided that they were literally going to take out Grady 307 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:23.400 because he abusive. He was mean, he was evil, drunken, 308 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.960 disorderly behindhead and well. 309 00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:31.559 And even so bad for people that don't know this, 310 00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:34.839 he would randomly get pissed off and head butt the 311 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.599 public that would come to see him, just so you know, 312 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:42.440 like this guy was not he was completely unhinged. Like 313 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.359 even at his funeral he only had ten people show 314 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.680 up and no one would be the pall bearer. That's 315 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:50.680 a statement, well, that. 316 00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:55.519 Is a statement, and that's that's a testament to you know, 317 00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.920 if your adult circumstances in life, how you handle that 318 00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.920 and do you handle them with grace and dignity and 319 00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:10.839 like try to be you know, a shining light for 320 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.039 other people, or do you go down the path that 321 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:18.000 this guy did where it was literal darkness, rebellion and 322 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:20.079 just plain fight evil. 323 00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:23.319 I mean, this guy was not a nice person at all. 324 00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:25.680 Can you imagine being there to see him and he 325 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.039 just randomly rams you like a goat in the head. 326 00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:34.960 What Well, that's because they said. 327 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.880 That he had since he couldn't walk, because people that 328 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.839 can't are not watching the video. He has deformatives in 329 00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:51.079 both legs and feet and one of them is very 330 00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.680 clubbed it looks like a round ball at the end 331 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:59.000 of it, and the other one very short leg below 332 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.279 the knee, and the foot is very deformed. And so 333 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:07.000 he could not walk because the legs definitely not the 334 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.400 same length and both feet were were not normal, and 335 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.519 so's he learned to walk on his hands, and so 336 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:22.079 his upper body strength was absolutely they said, like brute 337 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:28.079 strength level. And so hence you know, choking people out 338 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:31.480 or launching his daughter out of a wheelchair or whatever, 339 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.960 because he spent all his time walking on his arms, 340 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:39.359 and so he had the ability and the strength to 341 00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.039 do that and to cause harm to other people. 342 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.880 Right right, and he did it often apparently, I mean, 343 00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:49.000 throwing his daughter out of a wheelchair, like obviously he's 344 00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:50.160 pretty strong, so. 345 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.640 The whole you know, choking people out and whatever. And 346 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:01.279 so his wife, Teresa and her son from the previous 347 00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:08.079 marriage hired another circus performer to actually go in and 348 00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:12.680 murder him while he was sitting on the couch watching 349 00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:15.559 a documentary called Monkey Boy. 350 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.319 What would have you know? What else could it be? 351 00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:22.519 I mean exactly. 352 00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:28.160 I just when I saw that, I thought, Okay, if 353 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.119 this story isn't the best one ever we've got, right, 354 00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:34.839 Lobster Boy taken out by the smallest man in the 355 00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:39.200 world and possibly performed by a werewolf guy is what 356 00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:42.759 I read? I don't know. 357 00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:45.039 You can't make the stuff up, right. 358 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.119 My Lord Cherry Springer when we need. 359 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:49.160 Him, exactly. 360 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:53.079 And so the sad thing about this is this guy 361 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:58.519 was so like abusive and hateful and just awful to everybody, 362 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:01.599 even like you said, people that came to see him. 363 00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:08.880 But he didn't get any prison time for killing his 364 00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:16.079 daughter's fiance, but his wife and her son actually got 365 00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:21.400 sentenced to prison for taking him out. 366 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:25.039 Yep, and she got like a long sentence, like twenty 367 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:29.000 seven years. Man, right, I was shook. I was like, wait, 368 00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.319 and she got first degree? So how is his third degree? 369 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:35.720 Why because he didn't like the guy? 370 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:41.759 Well maybe because hers was like premeditated because they planned it. 371 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.079 That's true, But that second degree. I just don't understand 372 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.440 this third degree, like I can understand a fit of 373 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:50.519 passion because she did say she was pregnant, and I 374 00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:53.240 guess that's probable. I'm guessing that they just said he 375 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:58.119 flipped the f out, So I mean truly third degree though, 376 00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:00.839 I'm like they just felt bad for him, mm hmm. 377 00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:04.200 But why not her? She has the same thing exactly. 378 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.799 But that's the that's the sad thing in this situation, 379 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.680 as she had the same condition, but they didn't have 380 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:13.720 any problem putting her away. 381 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:15.640 I think she didn't have it. 382 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:16.880 Did she have in her feet? 383 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.799 I can't remember. I don't remember remember, but maybe possibly 384 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.079 she could walk. That's the only thing I can think 385 00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.559 of is maybe she could walk and he couldn't. 386 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:32.880 Yeah, it's just crazy to me. So because. 387 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.000 Like I said before, their family all the way back 388 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.559 into the eighteen forties, Like there had been multiple members 389 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:46.240 of the family that you know, were had the same condition, 390 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:50.920 and so all of them were in the circus and 391 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:58.240 they traveled and their their billing right was called Lobster family. 392 00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:01.279 And so it was like, buy your tickets to come 393 00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:02.799 and see the Lobster family. 394 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:09.119 Because you know, he was in the head. He was, yeah, exactly, come. 395 00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.480 Here and let me punch you in the face, because yeah, 396 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.799 they don't like the way you looked at me. So 397 00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:20.160 because his dad also had the exact same condition, he 398 00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:24.880 put and his name was Grady. Also that Grady Senior 399 00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.400 put Grady Junior in the circus at seven, and so 400 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.680 the whole family, like the picture you showed earlier with 401 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.880
