Made by robots, for robots. Only read if you're weird.
Unknown Speaker
Hey man, what's up? Have you ever heard of Harrison? Oh,
Unknown Speaker
Kenny Harrison. Oh, Kenny
Unknown Speaker
Harrison. Oh, Kenny.
Unknown Speaker
Is it Harrison? Harrison? Oh, Kenny.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, Kenny. Yes. No,
Unknown Speaker
I have no idea who this is.
Unknown Speaker
Harrison. No, Kenny, is another one where I feel like we did this for an episode recently. I don't remember what the episode was. But depending on your perspective, he's either the luckiest or unluckiest person ever live. Okay, but not really. Very lucky. You're very unlucky. I mean, I guess at the end of the day, you got to say lucky because of how the story turned out. He's lucky. But there's a moment there where it was pretty unlucky. All right, for the last What do you call the tugboat? People? All the rest of the rooms filled up completely
Unknown Speaker
with water, but it's upside down. So the total water
Unknown Speaker
I used to snorkel Patrick's house in his pool, and that's tough. It's
Unknown Speaker
pretty trippy. It's not scary.
Unknown Speaker
Not scary. Sounds very scary. Ceremony. Eyelashes are very pretty. Things I Learned last night
Unknown Speaker
What are you talking about? Just get to it.
Unknown Speaker
Have you ever had any lucky robots? Tell us down to the
Unknown Speaker
I don't think
Unknown Speaker
so. Don't write it down. Don't just keep going. Just keep Okay. Cool. Sounds good. Okay. Okay, there's no guarantee was a chef in Nigeria. I don't know like how great of a chef I just know he was a chef. And at some point along the line, he got a job working on a tugboat called the just jazz confab for jazz con for jazz con for jazz calm for and he was just
Unknown Speaker
the boat chef. tugboats got chefs. I guess so
Unknown Speaker
which is surprising to me because that seems like the kind of thing where you just kind of go out there and take that boat and
Unknown Speaker
how bigger tugboats Yeah. And a tow truck having a chef he's called Triple A and they show up but there's a dude in the back with a griddle. He wants a break. You get the present. You don't see him at first. It's night. Right? Oh, you hear this here? You're like, is that your tow truck? No. Yeah. The truck driver is normal for him.
Unknown Speaker
He didn't even hear it. He talked about the reasoning about use here the what it turns out, he's like, he's like, Whoa, sorry. You're not gonna have as round a pancake. Startled hashbrowns. Smothered or covered? Yeah, I'm the tow truck chef. I got
Unknown Speaker
this job for winning a competition on the food.
Unknown Speaker
So he worked this is just so we're clear. The Triple A tow truck chef is not an entry level position, though. You gotta you gotta dream is a dream position is where he's at. Okay, so Waffle House on the side of the road. I guess
Unknown Speaker
triple A now with mobile Waffle House. Honestly.
Unknown Speaker
It wouldn't make your college you rate your service. And how would you rate the food?
Unknown Speaker
Like it wouldn't make your car breaking down a lot better. Like, would it patent pending?
Unknown Speaker
Though here I am pretty bad day carpet down late for my flight. Yeah. And then this guy jumps out of the backseat. Which star meal was like, Hey, do you want onions or no? What are your food?
Unknown Speaker
Drivers like hooking it up? Yeah. And then the guy comes out with a menu.
Unknown Speaker
So would you go ahead. I'm gonna give us I'm gonna go ahead grab some water. I'll be right back. And then you get there and he does a little flip around thing and does the whole you know okay, you're good repayment that they're gonna ask you a few questions
Unknown Speaker
okay, thank you. Okay,
Unknown Speaker
I'm not gonna lie. I think that would that's the kind of service I hope I'm hoping for from my tow trucks.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. And my tugboats. Yeah, so he's How big is Google tugboats, size tugboat size? tugboat arms. Biceps, tugboat biceps
Unknown Speaker
typically range from 20 to 32 meters in length meters. Yeah, I don't know how to read that.
Unknown Speaker
90 To 100 feet meters two
Unknown Speaker
feet. Okay. 20 meters is 65 feet. 32 meters is 104 feet. Okay, hold on how so what I said 747 Oh crap. That was the URL. It's not how many 740 sevens, whatever. Okay, whatever. I'll look it up. I'll find that
Unknown Speaker
because it's, it's so about 100 feet. That's all I'm saying. That's not big enough for a chef to be whatever. Alright, so he's chef from a jazz calm for Yeah, that was a long tangent to get to. I guess. tugboats have chefs. Chefs,
Unknown Speaker
chefs, chefs. And they were talking about into Harbor. And it's overnight, right. It's late, late at night. They kind of separated from the boat so everyone could sleep through the night. And in the middle of night, Harrison as most of us do. Woke up to go to the bathroom. Sure. And while he's in the bathroom a large wave hits the boat capsizes it and he's trapped in the bathroom. And he listens Okay, look at your face. He sticks his ear up against the door. He touches the handle that makes sure it's not hot it's like is it a fire? I feel like we're upside down.
Unknown Speaker
What are you talking about? The port where he gets out?
Unknown Speaker
The boat sinks to the ocean floor 104 feet to the ocean floor. A couple important things to know about this boat. And then these waters how
Unknown Speaker
fast the boat sink Okay, poor things about the water. Forget my question.
Unknown Speaker
An important thing to know about the water after the meals he prepared? What happened to the steaks? What happened to steak? So he important thing to know about the waters? We mean? They
Unknown Speaker
were his? His litter his ear to listen? Was that a joke? That was that was a joke. Yeah, I was wondering why just do that. Okay,
Unknown Speaker
no, he was listening while I was thinking because here's the here's here's what's important. And the waters around where they were at. There's a lot of pirates. And so there was a policy that they had onboard most ships in the area is that overnight when everyone was sleeping, they would keep all the doors locked so pirates couldn't get to them and kill them and take over the ship. Which was great for pirates but bad for a sinking boat. Because no one could get the doors unlocked and they all got trapped in their rooms for some reason that no one is entirely sure why Harrison's bathroom didn't completely filled with water. There was an air bubble and air pocket in his bathroom. All the rest of the rooms filled up completely with water
Unknown Speaker
but it's upside down so the toilet water I guess standing in his own sewage I guess I
Unknown Speaker
never thought about that. I don't know how plumbing works in boats
Unknown Speaker
it's multiple floors. So there's the bathroom above us just got an opening yet to cover it when
Unknown Speaker
we joke like this in an episode. What episode is this? From? Where they we did because we don't we don't worry about it. I want to I want to I
Unknown Speaker
don't want to remember I don't want to remember. No, you sit down. You have to cover the one above us. So that way you're
Unknown Speaker
clear. It's disgusting. So anyway, so he's got an air bubble. Yeah, so
Unknown Speaker
he's in this air pocket in the in.
Unknown Speaker
So what's he listening to see if anyone else got it out while he's listening to because
Unknown Speaker
he thinks that everybody else escaped and he got stuck trapped in that bathroom. Because he was just unlucky and decided to go the bathroom at the wrong time or something.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Unknown Speaker
And so he's waiting in there. They like radiator in the room in the ruckus. Got Jim jumbled up from the side of the wall. And so he was floating on that radiator hanging on to that thing. Oh, so that was kind of like you so you didn't have to like keep himself afloat. I'm sure that'd be something else he could grab on to but yeah, he was he was holding on to that in that air pocket immediately after this happened obviously there was other boats in the area and they saw this boat just flip over and sink. So they began as rice rescue up your operation immediately. Yeah, so helicopters started flying over other boats started going trying to find them. And eventually they located where the ship It had some to and they sent some divers down the few hours after the event in the middle of the night, they sent some divers down in the divers. They couldn't get in to the ship because all the doors were locked. And so they were swimming around, but it had been ours at this point. And they're looking around, they're looking, it's clearly full of water. And so like, nobody's survived. They're like banging on the side of the hall to see if anybody bangs back and Harrison, here's the banging. And so he starts pinging back but he's in like an inner bathroom, at the bottom of the ocean. And so they can't hear him begging back on the walls, because they're in their suits and their gears and stuff
Unknown Speaker
like is creating such a tightness in my chest. Oh,
Unknown Speaker
in that rough. I knew you would love this one. Yeah, this was one that where I was researching and I was like, this has Geron written all over it. He's gonna love this.
Unknown Speaker
I saw a video on Tik Tok today where a guy was stuck in a grain silo. And it made me want to vomit. How long was it stuck there? He got out. I don't know how long he was in there. But he's like, Oh, man. I'm stuck. And he's doing that that makes my day. That's chsp like freaking. That's terrifying. That's like that's a biker, that motorcycle guy who fell down the cliff was big news story. I don't know when it happened. I saw it a couple weeks ago. He and his buddy were out motorcycling and they fell on a 50 foot cliff. All his buddies die. Right. So it's video, like, I guess, you know, because he broke his back and so he couldn't move and move. Yeah. So he said Yeah, holding up a 50 foot. He could hear the cars going by and hear other motorcycles. They can't hear him
Unknown Speaker
like Virginia or whatever. Yeah, I did remember that. Did he get out?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Cool. Someone finally heard him. I guess I
Unknown Speaker
was trying to buy into sir.
Unknown Speaker
I think it was the Yeti. Yeah, maybe that's what Yeti is a bunch of people lost.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, domesticated.
Unknown Speaker
I don't, I don't know he didn't have cell service couldn't get out. He gets he took videos thinking like if we eventually
Unknown Speaker
find them, we're gonna find it. Like
Unknown Speaker
he didn't even know his buddy had died.
Unknown Speaker
Hey, thanks for checking out things other than last night. If you're enjoying this, we have a ton of episodes. We've been doing this for a few years now. So make sure you go back check them out. My current favorite is Elmer McCurdy. It's a story about a guy who was born in 1890 died in 1910 and was buried in 1976. Which is just weird. The story is absolutely bonkers. I don't want to give too much away. But it was a super fun one. We loved it. Make sure you check that one out. But again, thanks for checking out things like last night
Unknown Speaker
What was that show? We just watched on the island
Unknown Speaker
last
Unknown Speaker
that we just watched oh yeah with the phone. Yeah. And the video
Unknown Speaker
what show was that call? Did you remember Alex? We were kind of obsessed with it for no good ended so weird though. Yeah. Didn't make sense. Yeah. Man, that's gonna Wow, that sucks.
Unknown Speaker
You think they're gonna make a new one? No, no,
Unknown Speaker
no, it's on hBo hBo.
Unknown Speaker
I searched none a search
Unknown Speaker
search Kristen miletti or whatever her last name is. Kristen is either
Unknown Speaker
I yeah, I don't know who I don't know a single star in that show. Anyways, we this is killing a lot of time in this
Unknown Speaker
episode. Nick Offerman Nick Offerman, isn't it? All right, you're right. You're right. You're right. It's called. Shoot, man. All right. See movies and TV something the tag is it's about time. Yep. Yep. It was. Nick Offerman. The resort resort.
Unknown Speaker
Yes. Yes. That's right.
Unknown Speaker
It was really good. Yeah, perfect. There's one we're watching right now. That has four seasons. I guess we're just finding on Apple TV. But servant. I've never heard Have you not heard of that one though. Where and so by the time this comes out, hopefully we will have finished the series I guess. I have an updated review. So far. So slow, but it's in my shop alone,
Unknown Speaker
okay. That shows that he does Shama Shama, Shama Shama
Unknown Speaker
shows, show Milan, and so, but it servant is this couple in Philadelphia, who's like 13 month old baby died not 1313 week old baby died. Yeah, and the mom just couldn't cope. Like she just like, went into basically her coma was just like, spaced out. So they gave her a baby doll to help her cope, right? Yeah. And suddenly she was back and pretend like you're one of those like, look realistic dolls, whatever. Then she hires a nanny for this doll. Yeah, well, the second night the nanny is there, the little baby monitor the dads in the kitchen and here's a real baby on thing and goes up there and there's a real baby in the crib. How is there a baby? We don't know yet. It's pretty trippy. It's not scary. Not scary. Sounds very scary. Sounds like it would be I know. I was very I was very I was very like, No, it's not scary. So far. It's it's more supernatural. You know? But it's, uh, it's just, it's pretty. It's
Unknown Speaker
slow, trippy.
Unknown Speaker
Um, yes, there are definitely there's episodes, the end where you're like,
Unknown Speaker
what I'm realizing that's what I like. Like I don't like like,
Unknown Speaker
yes, no, this is not you. I'm saying it's good. I think you might like it. It's really slow. And so far, but the ends of the episodes are like, What the heck is happening?
Unknown Speaker
Because yeah, like those ones that bend your mind and make you Yes, and you'll like this one a lot. I've
Unknown Speaker
been thinking about it. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Well, anyways, there's a baby in the bathroom. Turns out every tugboat has one to the higher. The higher the higher the baby keep. What do you call it? tugboat people, the
Unknown Speaker
tugboat people. tugboat people. What do you called tugboat people? What do you call? What do you call restaurant people? You mean servers?
Unknown Speaker
I guess. What do you call?
Unknown Speaker
What do you call grocery store? employees
Unknown Speaker
do dope pushers. I don't know. I don't know what you call it. Sailors. Maybe? Sailors, I guess. Keep the sailors company. Yeah. Okay. So
Unknown Speaker
small bear cub. Also a chef's. The boat flipped over? Turns out it was flipped. So they do the dive thing. They're banging on the side of the bay on the side of the boat. He's banging back.
Unknown Speaker
He's bringing back. But they couldn't hear him because they're in full dive gear. They're out in the ocean. There's ocean noises? I don't know. Yeah. drowning out the bangs. Right. Sure. So the divers swim up there. Like there's no way anybody's survived to this point. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Let's just worry about this next week. Well,
Unknown Speaker
yeah. So
Unknown Speaker
knowing like, what year is this?
Unknown Speaker
Three days? You know, that's an interesting question. Let me double check.
Unknown Speaker
It was recent ish. I want to say like, early 2000s Sure. Something like that.
Unknown Speaker
They really were like, Let's come back. Yeah. Oh, 2013. Okay. And they were like, alright, we'll come back later. Yeah. So they were like, gosh, like we'll come
Unknown Speaker
back later to retrieve the bodies is what they said. And so they kind of put together a plan and three days later, they three days three days later they put together this mission with some trained divers who are like expert divers there to like ship in from some other country to swim down there.
Unknown Speaker
Or do they call those dive people
Unknown Speaker
the water boil water buoys? We did get some water boys. Let's get us some of those underwater boys.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, I understand what the NFL pays you guys so.
Unknown Speaker
So he's that he survived all three days just floating on a thing? Because you would have had to sleep.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I don't understand that part. He had no food no water. What's what's insane is there's
Unknown Speaker
a bottom of the ocean and that oxygen wouldn't run out.
Unknown Speaker
While there's some interesting things to hit there at the bottom of the ocean past the point where the light reaches, and so it's freezing cold water that he's dark suominen Yeah. And he also woke up in the middle night so he's a nothing but his boxers. And so he's swimming in this ice cold water in the dark. And or he can hear the fish swim in through the boat like they can't get into his room. But he can hear them swim through the boat eating stuff. And so he's pretty sure those are his crewmates out there getting eaten by fish and he can hear them out there doing that. So he's in this air pocket. Just kind of holding on basically. Well three days later they they do this
Unknown Speaker
is the water still down there you think? Like he's not like
Unknown Speaker
probably it's probably pretty still I don't know why there would be like a tide he's not I mean He's not like I mean, if he moved around it probably would rock. But I bet it's really still I don't know why it would move. I can't think of a reason why. It probably wasn't very so. Yeah. And he was just sitting there with had a head just above water. To answer your question, what's interesting is, in in a, in a situation like this where there's that an air pocket deep underwater, the oxygen in there, if you're breathing it in, is only going to last so long. It's a finite resource. And so after the fact, some people did the master try to
Unknown Speaker
estimate he probably had another day in there. Maybe they said that they think that
Unknown Speaker
that was the size of the air pocket that he had. They think that he had about a 72 hour air supply. Yeah. And they came on the third day. So he literally had probably a matter of hours before he was going to run out the oxygen in there. But there was more
Unknown Speaker
we've learned from biosphere what like that. It's like he can start to like suffocate
Unknown Speaker
just from having low oxygen. Yeah. Yeah. And what else is significant is when you're breathing, it's you're releasing co2 into the air and you're in that air bubble, and you can't breathe co2. Right. So that's an issue as well, luckily, what they think is that because there's so much water in there, and carbon and so he was able to survive longer than he
Unknown Speaker
shows producing more oxygen,
Unknown Speaker
not necessarily producing, I'm sure you would have had to plant a tree for that. They so they put together this dive operation to go down there. And the whole idea of this mission was not like, oh, we need to save people it was we're going to collect the body. Yeah. And so they knew that this was going to be a tough. Well, they knew it was gonna be a tough mission for a few reasons. One, all the doors are locked. So they were going to have to rip these doors off. Yeah. 100 feet under the sea.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, man, what happens when you rip it open and he's in there?
Unknown Speaker
Here's here's. And then you're gonna have to pull a bunch of bodies out dead bodies out of the ocean. I mean, they, they're pretty confident. It's been days now. So there's the news, how many people are gonna get a word? I'm probably about a dozen.
Unknown Speaker
Okay. And so you don't know the exact number.
Unknown Speaker
I don't know the exact number. Okay, about a dozen. And so they rip off the door. Harrison, about halfway through day to realize no one was coming. And so he had to save himself, essentially. So he was able to rip his door open by breaking a pipe off the wall and using it to just get the leverage and break his door open. So he was able to break his door open, he swam and found another air pocket in the kitchen. But he wasn't able to find a way out. And so he ended up swimming back into his bathroom because there was a bigger air pocket there. And just kind of waited and hoped and prayed. And just like I hope someone shows up because he couldn't get out.
Unknown Speaker

We don't make money from this personally, all the money from Patreon goes straight back into our show helps us to create better episodes give her better production quality. But more than anything, we're just so glad that you're here. So thank you so much for supporting our show. And if you want early access to be part of our Discord, please consider supporting us on Patreon. But other than that, we want to say thanks again
Unknown Speaker
imagine how terrified you'd be if you're a diver. And you go down thinking you're about to this good bunch of bodies. And then one of them is like you think he's like Hey, hey, he's doing a muppet voice is what do you roll in? And you're just down there and us here
Unknown Speaker
is that the water?
Unknown Speaker
Where's John C. Reilly? He's just like English. No.
Unknown Speaker
Well, they're on so these divers are on radio. This is 2013. So they got radio, there's a crew up above that's on radio with them listening in everything kind of directing them through and making sure they stay oriented and stuff like that. They spend two hours ripping open the side of this boat. They're like power tools, underwater power tools. And, obviously, Harrison, here's the whole thing. And so he's like, he's like, they're here is like someone's here to save me. And he's thinking through the scenario. And he has the same thought you had. And he's like, Well, what if they find out I'm alive and it freaks them out? Yeah, he's like he's like so I need to be like careful with this. But I also need to make sure that they see me. And they find me. And so. So he swims out to the kitchen, because he knew he's like he's like, that's kind of a path that they're most likely going to go through. And he swims up to the kitchen and he gets out to the kitchen and is waiting in that air pocket. For hours while they're ripping the hole into this boat, they finally get that hole open. And they start swimming around. And he hears them swimming through. And so he dives down to try to reach the divers. And they pass him before he's able to get there. And so he like, almost becomes kind of hopeless. So let's back up to the air pocket because he needs to get air. And he's like listening around trying to hear them. And they finally they start coming back. And as they're coming back, he swims down. And one of the divers reaches out and like, sees his hand and grabs his hand to kind of pull them along and Harrison just squeezed back. And the guy freaked out, yeah.
Unknown Speaker
And so he's like, he's like, there's one of them's alive. And the guy, the guy up top is like, what do you what do you mean, someone's alive? They're like, we have a survivor. And so they, they're like here, let's go back up to that air pocket. So they take them back up to the airport, because he can't breathe underwater, obviously. And so they're like, let's get a photo up in the air pocket. Now, this is a this is later this year. I assume that you're right. Tom Brady. Tom Brady, Tom Brady. No, but they did actually swatch his hair pocket. This is where he, this is him in the airport. So say imagine. Yeah. And they took a picture of him. And then
Unknown Speaker
holy cow.
Unknown Speaker
But then this presented a pretty major problem, because it's, there's a couple issues. He's been down here for three days.
Unknown Speaker
He doesn't have the strength to get up there.
Unknown Speaker
Well, more than that. He's about 100 feet below the ocean. And he's body's used to that pressure. And so if he comes up to shore, or to sea level right away, like there's a condition called the bends. And so it's something that happens to divers a lot, but no one's ever down as long as he's been down. And so they were scared that his blood vessels would literally start popping because of the pressure. And so he would basically like fall apart from the inside because of pressure change. And so they had to come up with a way to get him up and slowly move him up over time and like repressurize, 20 feet, 20 feet, 20 feet up to shore, it took them two days to get them up above the water. And because they had to put them in the suit transform up
Unknown Speaker
and like Did they explain that before they did it? Did they tell him in the boat down there? They're like, here's what we're gonna do. It's gonna take some time, or did they just start and he's like, he's like, Oh, stop. But we gotta wait here for three hours. Excuse me? No, they can't communicate to him. Oh, they gave him a headset.
Unknown Speaker
That makes sense. Okay, you gotta wait for three hours, man
Unknown Speaker
because he doesn't have I'm thinking he doesn't have a scuba suit. Does he?
Unknown Speaker
Well, they brought him a scuba suit. Where's he put that on? One of them swam up, they came down and they put the scuba suit. I'm gonna put that on the air pocket in the air pocket here pocket. He put his stupid skirt on. There's actually a photo of him with his scuba suit. Let me grab it. Hold on. And so it was like a pressurizing. So he's
Unknown Speaker
got he's got two years, they can talk
Unknown Speaker
about that. Yeah, they obviously can communicate with him. That's what they told him before they went out. They were like, Hey, this is gonna be a process. And so they got, but when they got them up, they couldn't even like, let him out of the water. They put them in that that's what this is. This is a pressure chamber. All the divers had to go in this pressure chamber, and repressurize and so they swam into this thing. And this was on the shore. So tired,
Unknown Speaker
dude, he just he's like, please let me up.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. And they were like, they were like, yeah, we're just gonna hang out here and so he had to sit in this pressure chamber for another two days to while he repressurize to normal. It took them a full seven days. Yeah, from the time of the sinking to get out. Now that's that's another thing that's crazy is like they told him after the fact. How long it had been. He didn't realize he was down there for three days. Because it was so disorienting. He thought he'd been down there for like 10 hours. Wow. Yeah, cuz the whole experience was such a disorienting experience for him. And so yeah, after after a little bit of time, they eventually repressurize them to normal, like land pressure levels, and he was able to come out and it's
Unknown Speaker
been 10 years that you were down there.
Unknown Speaker
The Hill get together, like, how long do you want to tell them? How long do you want them to think it was? Yeah,
Unknown Speaker
we can we can we can we can convince them.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, we should tell them. We could tell them. Somebody called Google Home. Send more their experimental phones out to us. We'll all have them. Yeah. We're trying to best with this.
Unknown Speaker
Google guy. That's pretty funny.
Unknown Speaker
That's pretty cool. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Well said,
Unknown Speaker
Here you go. So he,
Unknown Speaker
obviously he was pretty traumatized by the event. He had some major PTSD. And so because of that, he was like, I'm never going anywhere near water again. He's like, I'm only on land chef. He actually got a job on a tow truck.
Unknown Speaker
I'm a lead chef now.
Unknown Speaker
No, he vowed to never go back on. Again. But in 2022, he conquered a sphere probably something is counselor made him do
Unknown Speaker
Carnival Cruise baby. He's saved this sponsor of our podcast.
Unknown Speaker
Now he conquered his fear. This is actually kind of poetic. Honestly. He conquered his fear and he got scuba certified euros and says, yeah, and the rescuers gave him his diploma. They flew out and they gave him his certification ticket. Ceremonies made
Unknown Speaker
his eyelashes are very pretty. I mean, like, Look how perfect those things are. You know, say
Unknown Speaker
those are some some good lashes with you. So yeah, so it can kind of full circle. Now he rescues people from November Dudley. No, he does not. He doesn't. But he just scooped us for fun, I guess sometimes.
Unknown Speaker
Is a great here's something he misses it. There's a part of me here. Have you ever done scuba at all? No. Have you?
Unknown Speaker
Well, technically we did it. There was a resort that they do scuba lessons in the pool. Yeah, it is still disorienting to breathe underwater. Yeah, that's where your body goes. Don't do that.
Unknown Speaker
I used to snorkel at Patrick's house in his pool. And that's tough.
Unknown Speaker
I used to snorkel the dumbest thing or I used to just breathe. Noises breathe. I yeah, I know what that's like I used to snorkel. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
That's what the divers are. That's why I survived so long.
Unknown Speaker
Here is he didn't realize when it happened, he thought he was the only one trapped in there. I thought everybody else got out. He was the only survivor. What's sad is, I guess the community he was a part of in Nigeria is very superstitious. And so, because he was the only person who survived he survived in such a peculiar way. The people in that in that community, it's like the family of the rest of the survivors thought he cast a curse on everybody else so he could survive. And so he didn't go to the funeral of anybody. And he kind of like, lost his community. Because they all thought he was like, the bad guy in this scenario, which is super sad. Yeah. Because he honestly kind of just got really lucky.
