Chapter 1: What are Henry and Ed's upcoming tour plans?
Hello, Florida. Your favorite son and biggest baby are coming home to bring you the laughs you deserve. Everyone likes to poke fun of the Florida man. Everyone likes to use Florida as a punching bag whenever an alligator on meth eats an old person. It can happen anywhere. As a famous Floridian baby, I feel your pain. So that's why I'm coming home to let you know it's okay to be who you are.
It's okay that the rest of America is scared of us. It's okay that books are illegal in our schools. It's okay whenever it gets cold, it rains iguanas. I'm here to support you. So come on out. March, I'll be in North Florida. And in May, I'll be in South Florida and Orlando. It's the Invasive Species Tour. Ed Larson, me, is coming to Florida in March and May.
I'm coming to Jacksonville, Panama City, Tallahassee, Marco Island, Dania Beach, Orlando, and Key West. So lock up your public subs and start singing the Miami Dolphins fight song because we're going to party like it's Florida, baby. Tickets at eddytoons.com.
There's no place to escape to. This is the Lost Podcast. On the left. Side stories? That's when the cannibalism started.
Side stories. Yes.
Man, I am getting more and more excited to go to Huntsville. I can't wait. We're on our way. I can't wait to do this. One of my favorite things here, it says, is we found really very interesting. You know, we asked last week to get any sort of recommendations of things to do in Huntsville. And we were super excited. We're like, OK. And we got a lot of messages and we're like so happy.

Chapter 2: Why is Huntsville, Alabama significant to the hosts?
And one of my favorite one is this. We said, you got to come to Huntsville and you have to eat at Hildegard's. I'm like, oh, what's that? What's Hildegard's? Yeah, it doesn't sound very Alabama-y. No, it doesn't. It sounds really good.
And they said, which I think is like, I dislike how they put it, it's a local German restaurant that has deep roots in Huntsville since the great German influx on or about 1945. No! And my thing was, is that, what is that, what is that, um...
familiar and it's like oh yeah it's because the operation paperclip scientists that we purchased had to move to huntsville we purchase or take purchase and then we move in the huntsville we made of americans and then think about this then i'm like now i'm super excited to go yeah only just because How good does German food have to be for ex-Nazis to sit and like it?
I mean, like, I'm not saying it's good that it serves Nazis. Holy shit, look at that. And we made them. That's schnitzel, dude. We revamped them into American, so it doesn't really count. Because we went to the moons on their back. But if you look at this, like, this food looks so good. And it has to be good, because can you imagine serving it to Werner Von Braun?
And watching Werner Von Braun take one slice and him look at you and just be like, we have a word for someone like you. And they're all like, he's like shaking and stuff. He's like, an excellent cook. You know, like they have to just deal with it. I love how it looks like all Alabama, like they just cover it in gravy. Dude, that is what, that's a Wienerschnitzel.
That's exactly what Wiener Schnitzel is. I love Wiener Schnitzel. Oh, man. We are going to eat all over this. Welcome to Side Stories. Holy shit. My name is Henry Zabrowski. I'm sitting here with Ed Larson. Fuck you. I want to talk about the schnitz. Me too, man.
And I understand that some people might be upset about it, but I just love the concept of what they just called local German influx after 1945. which is if that was just sort of coincidence.
How many was it? Actually, that's a really good question. It's probably like 10 scientists. I'm guessing. This is me just guessing out of the top of my head. I'm guessing 10 scientists and their families.
So it's probably like 100 people. It says how many scientists? 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians came to the United States from 1945 and 1959. They took us to the moon, baby! Because they had the eye on the prize. These guys' operation, that's what gave us our big advantage over the Soviet Union. Yes. And these guys went straight to Huntsville.

Chapter 3: What happened on the Qatar Airways flight?
Yeah, you ventilate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she probably, she could have definitely, well, it sounds like she just came out of the bathroom, so I think she was empty. Oh! And then she came out.
Maybe that's what was keeping her alive. Oh, sad.
Now that's sad. I should think about that now. Hopefully I don't have a shit that keeps keeping me alive inside of me.
Oh, yeah.
You got one.
You never know what's going to come. Oh, wow. That's scary to me. I have a question. Okay. What would you guys rather sit next to a dead person for four hours or a screaming baby for four hours?
Dead person.
I think, yeah, the first hour would be kind of tough, but once you get used to it. It's just a dead person. Yeah. They're just sitting there. It'd be different if the dead person haunts you forever. The baby, you get relief as soon as you're not by it anymore.
Is it just odd to say that I don't think it would haunt me at all? Yeah. I think that I'm on a plane and there's different rules. I think that if I saw someone die in front of me, I saw someone die in front of me in an emergency room. I have. I watched someone collapse and that did end the panic attack that I was in there for because I realized that I shouldn't be in the emergency room.

Chapter 4: Who is Dan Soder and what is his connection to the podcast?
No. You haven't? No, I worked in Fort Worth at this hotel where he stayed at. I was working the hyenas. Jealous. Okay. The hotel they put you up at is very loud about, like, this is where JFK stayed the night before he got assassinated. Like, every elevator bank, every floor, they're like... JFK stayed here before he got shot! They scream it, but I never went to the grassy hole.
Well, like the Watergate in D.C., now it's all super cute. They're all like, the main bar, it's called like the break-in. That's what I was gonna say, break into comfort at the Watergate.
They go, I am not a crook.
You're like, that doesn't even make sense. What do you mean? Your hotel key's a flashlight. So I was behind the fence on the grassy knoll, and I'm looking at the X. It's a perfect shot. Well, that's what they're saying. It's the perfect shot. It really is. So when you go and stand there, it's even like a good prop. It's perfect.
When you went this time, did you see what I loved about the first time I went to Dealey Plaza was the conspiracy theory buskers?
Oh, very much. Oh, yeah. They try and take you around and show you shit.
That's their ghost tours? Dude, it's the best. They stay. They stand on the grassy knoll with lanyards and piles of newspapers. And then they're just on loop. It was just all black men. when I went. I know exactly. It's the same guy. It was wild. He comes up to you. He just starts kind of saying the beginning of the story, right? And then he's like, if you want to hear the rest, that'll be $15.
And then you're like, you can pay the man $50. Marcus and I did it. We paid him money, and then we both sat with this homeless man as he described the events of the
conspiracy theory and then we started pushing back and then we're now talking with the man and then he's yelling us being like you don't know better than me you don't know better than me and we're all like i'm sorry sir like i guess we're we're just visiting this is just this is an important place for our relationship the thought of you looking at the grassy knoll and then a guy with a cigarette bouncing in the corner of his mouth going you know that's where they did it

Chapter 5: What is the story behind the meme coin rug pull?
So a lot of people made money on meme coins based upon his death and the moments after his death.
That is literally... The reason that Damien Lewis's character in Billions is a horrific person is because he was trading as 9-11 was happening. That's the idea, right? And that's the exact same thing that these people were doing. Oh, yeah. Tragedy strikes and people go, make money off it. Oh, yeah. The only part, and this unfunny situation, obviously, someone took their own life.
It's kind of funny. It's funny that he took three times that he went like this. Yeah.
I just think it's a... Oh, there we go. I don't mind this trend. I think that this could be a continuous... Like, we could lose some grandpastras.
Yeah. Grandpa, what was cryptocurrency? You go, well, it was quite the watch for about 10 years. Yeah. And then they all died.
I just feel like it's a, what are we going to do? Because I know it's the idea of like, money's fake anyway.
Yeah, sure.
And then crypto's like a new fake money.
Yes.

Chapter 6: How did a man cause chaos with a Chucky doll in Florida?
This is the worst reporting I've seen. Whoever set up this camera shot, there's a reflection on him that you can't stop watching. It's like they have a street sign behind the camera and they're flashing the sun at him. See what I mean? Yeah, I do see that. Yeah, he looks like he's in a J.J. Abrams film. And he looks like he... It just looks like the reflection is weird. Yes.
This is a thing that shouldn't have been, like... There's a crazy guy with a doll down the street. Don't go there.
Yeah, but, like, why does this man get arrested? And it's because he has a record, I think. He has a very long record, multiple DUIs. He has a couple of salt and batteries.
Is no man better than his past? Can no man grow past his fucking... Where he's... Oh, the chains! The chains of what I've been...
What if it wasn't a Chucky doll? What if it was like a giraffe doll? Should it be allowed to do that? The giraffe's going to scare you.
Jeffrey from Toys R Us is pissed they've been liquidated. I wonder if some of his DUIs were Chucky, like he got in the passenger seat and then he put Chucky down.
You wouldn't even believe this thing, man. This is a danger. He's a crazy driver. I know the killer that's inside him and he's nuts.
Just the idea of calling the cops on him is very strange.
Yes. Hi, 911. You're going to have to listen to me.
