Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know, he's a little fond alert and the implication
- 0:04Speaker 1: is just that everybody knew about this and eventually people
- 0:07Speaker 1: were just kind of joking about it.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Under the Dogs, Yeah, under the Dogs, very regular looks funny.

- 1:12Speaker 3: Ahoy, madies.
- 1:13Speaker 4: This is under the Docks with Paranoid American and Sean
- 1:15Speaker 4: Chris Mainstream Mondays. We were charting through treacherous waves of
- 1:20Speaker 4: normy docs to let you know if they sink or swim,
- 1:23Speaker 4: don't forget to visit Paranoid American dot com, Kill themockybirds
- 1:27Speaker 4: dot com like, subscribe and share the show back to
- 1:31Speaker 4: Foosball Mondays right like for the Super Bowl, so we
- 1:35Speaker 4: could get into some of this stuff. We're gonna get
- 1:37Speaker 4: a little foosball true crime.
- 1:39Speaker 5: What you say, are we doing surviving Ohio State? We are.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Isn't that wrestling?
- 1:45Speaker 4: It is wrestling, but there's a little bit of everything
- 1:48Speaker 4: in it right, there's Ohio States known for football, so
- 1:52Speaker 4: I'm gonna be like, we're gonna count it as football,
- 1:54Speaker 4: and being a Michigan fan, mine as well bring out
- 1:58Speaker 4: some of their dirty laundries because I'm sure there will
- 2:00Speaker 4: be some documentaries coming soon about Michigan that we will cover.
- 2:03Speaker 4: There will also be some dirty laundry, but we'll get
- 2:05Speaker 4: to that later. And this is Surviving Ohio State, directed
- 2:10Speaker 4: by Evan Orner and written by John Wernstein. This follows
- 2:15Speaker 4: spoiler alert a doctor who is fondling wrestlers, hockey players,
- 2:21Speaker 4: football players, but it mainly focuses on the wrestling team,
- 2:25Speaker 4: but it sprinkles in come some of the other sports.
- 2:28Speaker 4: I guess when you go for your routine physical, he
- 2:32Speaker 4: feels you up to completion.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Pllotting the course.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Surviving Ohio State examines doctor Richard Stratus, a long time
- 2:52Speaker 4: physician at Ohio State from nineteen seventy eight to nineteen
- 2:56Speaker 4: ninety eight, and there's testimonies from his alleged victim. So
- 3:01Speaker 4: the major claim in this whole documentary is that this
- 3:04Speaker 4: doctor was fondling a lot of these kids throughout his
- 3:09Speaker 4: forty thirty forty year spend time in Ohio State.
- 3:14Speaker 1: And I'm gonna just drop all the alleged for if
- 3:17Speaker 1: there's like an AI listening that wants to make sure
- 3:19Speaker 1: we're not doing anything legally, raw whatever. Anytime we make
- 3:23Speaker 1: a claim that just sounds like the dude straight up
- 3:26Speaker 1: did it. Just assume allegedly, but the dude straight up
- 3:29Speaker 1: did it right Like he's dead now and they did
- 3:32Speaker 1: some investigations post mortem, and even Ohio State was like, yeah,
- 3:37Speaker 1: he kind of did it. I get yeah, I guess
- 3:38Speaker 1: he was doing all this and the claims are wild too.
- 3:42Speaker 1: This isn't I remember this going through the media and
- 3:45Speaker 1: I hear it brought up every once in a while.
- 3:47Speaker 1: I don't really know all the details. We get the
- 3:49Speaker 1: details now, like an extreme detail. And it's this doctor
- 3:52Speaker 1: Richard Strauss, this old dude that worked for Ohio State
- 3:55Speaker 1: for like over twenty years since the late nineteen seventies.
- 3:59Speaker 1: And he's essentially just a sports doctor if you're in
- 4:03Speaker 1: a team sport, specifically wrestling, but he kind of like
- 4:06Speaker 1: branched out to all the different sports. But if you're
- 4:08Speaker 1: in a wrestling team and you got to go see
- 4:11Speaker 1: any doctor for any reason, you're seeing this dude because
- 4:14Speaker 1: you can afford it, and you've got a scholarship, and
- 4:16Speaker 1: he's the one that's gonna check you out anyways. And
- 4:19Speaker 1: even if you don't want to see him, he's the
- 4:21Speaker 1: guy that gives you your physical and your your thumbs
- 4:24Speaker 1: up or thumbs down, whether you can continue playing, and
- 4:27Speaker 1: whether or not your scholarship exists. So he's got this
- 4:30Speaker 1: crazy power imbalance over people coming in. The other wild
- 4:33Speaker 1: thing is that these aren't necessarily kids or teenagers. These
- 4:37Speaker 1: are like young adults. They're going into college, maybe even
- 4:41Speaker 1: beyond freshmen. There's even a fellow teacher that gets swept
- 4:46Speaker 1: up in this, like doctor Strauss is fondling men his
- 4:51Speaker 1: own age as well, and no one's talking about it
- 4:54Speaker 1: because they're all afraid that it makes them gay.
- 4:57Speaker 4: And yeah, that's the good things focus on the beginning.
- 5:00Speaker 4: They're like, turns off the lights, he's grabbing my dong,
- 5:03Speaker 4: and I'm like, am I gay? I don't know, like
- 5:06Speaker 4: you know what I mean. But the way that they
- 5:08Speaker 4: describe it, because he had like one hundred and seventy
- 5:11Speaker 4: like confirmed assaults, like twenty twenty eight hundred and three
- 5:15Speaker 4: thousand like complaints against him, but they would say that
- 5:19Speaker 4: when they would go for their physical that he would
- 5:21Speaker 4: shut off the lights, put a flashlight in his mouth
- 5:24Speaker 4: and go directly to your balls and your weighing and
- 5:27Speaker 4: just start like tugging on it, and like they're like, dang, man,
- 5:31Speaker 4: I don't.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Know if I'm gay.
- 5:32Speaker 4: That kind of made me chuckle a little bit because
- 5:34Speaker 4: I was like, there was no like I get the whole, like,
- 5:37Speaker 4: hey man, sports gotta be tough and stuff like that,
- 5:40Speaker 4: like breaking your leg. But when someone's just like rubbing
- 5:42Speaker 4: on your schlong and you're just like, ah, it's fine,
- 5:45Speaker 4: especially when they get back when they're like, yeah, broken angle,
- 5:48Speaker 4: peepee touch, I got sick, peepee touch.
- 5:51Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 5:52Speaker 4: My knee would need to be drained. Pepee touch. You're like,
- 5:54Speaker 4: come on man. At some point you're like, hey, bro,
- 5:57Speaker 4: this is not what it came for.
- 6:00Speaker 1: And apparently everyone knows about it. The coaches know about it,
- 6:03Speaker 1: the school knows about it, admin knows about it, and
- 6:05Speaker 1: they're all.
- 6:06Speaker 5: Just like, yeah, that's doctor strauss Man. He's a wild one.
- 6:09Speaker 5: Isn't a crazy crazy guy? You know, guys will be guys.
- 6:12Speaker 1: But everyone's complaining and so here I do understand this
- 6:17Speaker 1: premise as they're talking to all these guys, and a
- 6:20Speaker 1: lot of them are like talking about they're seeing comments
- 6:23Speaker 1: online and someone's like, matter, if anyone ever tried to
- 6:26Speaker 1: do that to me, I'd knocked that old guy out.
- 6:28Speaker 1: So here's the explanations that we get from these dudes
- 6:31Speaker 1: that are now in like their fifties and sixties, right
- 6:33Speaker 1: cause they're talking about they had scholarships in the mid
- 6:36Speaker 1: nineteen eighties for wrestling, so they've they been around a minute.
- 6:40Speaker 1: They're at least in the fifties. And some of them
- 6:42Speaker 1: are like, I've never even talked about this until just now.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And the point was that they'd go in some of
- 6:47Speaker 1: them was a first physical they ever had in their
- 6:50Speaker 1: entire life. And when he's like, all right, drop trou
- 6:54Speaker 1: and he gets all up in your business and you
- 6:55Speaker 1: can feel his breath when he's talking to you, like
- 6:58Speaker 1: in your business. Right, some of them were just like, man,
- 7:01Speaker 1: right when it started to get strange, when it was like, man,
- 7:04Speaker 1: he's been down there a little bit longer than I'm expecting,
- 7:07Speaker 1: and they'd.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Be like, hey, man, what's going on. He'd be like,
- 7:09Speaker 5: all right, we're all good here.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Looks looks like we're good to go, so he would
- 7:12Speaker 1: kind of like ride it right to the edge. But
- 7:15Speaker 1: some of the guys were like, yeah, he's down there
- 7:17Speaker 1: and he's like moving things around, and I'm starting to
- 7:20Speaker 1: react to it in a sexual way.
- 7:22Speaker 5: Does that mean I'm gay?
- 7:24Speaker 1: So they get a little bit afraid of it, and
- 7:26Speaker 1: that they're also afraid that he's going to remove their scholarship.
- 7:29Speaker 1: They're going to have to move back home. And they
- 7:30Speaker 1: make a point later in the documentary where they say
- 7:33Speaker 1: he didn't just do it to every single person that
- 7:35Speaker 1: came in. He'd figure out if you were like an
- 7:38Speaker 1: at risk if the person come into the office, you know, like, oh,
- 7:43Speaker 1: if you lose your scholarship, you're going back to po
- 7:45Speaker 1: dunk wherever. So I can kind of like skirt this
- 7:49Speaker 1: line a little bit farther and keep pushing this and
- 7:51Speaker 1: it gets insane, right. It gets to the point where
- 7:54Speaker 1: he's drugging people and bringing them back to his house
- 7:57Speaker 1: and like actually assaulting them overnight. It gets so bad
- 8:01Speaker 1: that a female fencing coach she her daughter's boyfriend is
- 8:06Speaker 1: on one of these teams, and I think he's like
- 8:08Speaker 1: in the fencing team and he gets his ear cut
- 8:10Speaker 1: because they're fencing so he like slices his ear. He
- 8:13Speaker 1: goes in to see this guy to like patch his
- 8:15Speaker 1: ear up, and the guys like, drop drout. He gotta,
- 8:18Speaker 1: we gotta check for her, and he is and he's like,
- 8:20Speaker 1: but my ear got cut, and he goes tells his girlfriend.
- 8:23Speaker 1: The girlfriend tells the mom, and she actually makes a
- 8:27Speaker 1: thing out of this. She goes and tells admin. She
- 8:29Speaker 1: starts like making complaints, and the general consensus is, well,
- 8:33Speaker 1: do you have any proof? Do you have any evidence?
- 8:35Speaker 1: Do you have anybody at all that's willing to come
- 8:37Speaker 1: forward and say that this happened? And then it was
- 8:40Speaker 1: crickets And instead of her even just dying down and
- 8:43Speaker 1: being like, all right, if you guys don't want to
- 8:44Speaker 1: speak up, she was like.
- 8:45Speaker 5: Well, screw this.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna speak up anyways, and I'm gonna make this
- 8:49Speaker 1: an issue. And she pushes on this for like another
- 8:52Speaker 1: ten years, and ultimately, no spoiler alert, nothing really ever
- 8:57Speaker 1: happens to this guy. He gets away with it and
- 8:59Speaker 1: ends up committing suicide. And then they're like, oh, maybe
- 9:02Speaker 1: he commits suicide because he was like really guilty about
- 9:05Speaker 1: all this, or he thought that he was going to
- 9:07Speaker 1: get in trouble legally. Nope, he just had some crazy
- 9:10Speaker 1: disorder where he was in physical pain. So he just
- 9:13Speaker 1: took the easy way out. He just exited stage left
- 9:15Speaker 1: early so he wouldn't have to deal with his physical
- 9:17Speaker 1: pain that he was going through. So even though he's dead,
- 9:21Speaker 1: he didn't even die like feeling bad about any of
- 9:24Speaker 1: this or feeling guilty or being.
- 9:26Speaker 5: Accused of it.
- 9:26Speaker 1: So that's kind of the whole premise of this story
- 9:29Speaker 1: and where getting everyone's reactions to it that actually lived
- 9:33Speaker 1: through this, and a lot of them for the first
- 9:35Speaker 1: time they're speaking up about it.
- 9:37Speaker 4: Yeah, and they made like the good points of that.
- 9:40Speaker 4: That's where they kind of answered it for me where
- 9:41Speaker 4: they were like, hey, yeah, it's easy for you to
- 9:43Speaker 4: be like I would have done this, and I would Again,
- 9:46Speaker 4: there is points where I'm like, Okay, I get it,
- 9:48Speaker 4: like you. People can get like, hey, I don't want
- 9:50Speaker 4: to lose my scholarship. That's all they have and he
- 9:52Speaker 4: and like you said, they specifically going after people that
- 9:55Speaker 4: were at risk. Also part of this film is that
- 9:58Speaker 4: how many people actually he knew about this, the coaches
- 10:01Speaker 4: and they were seeing a lot of it was hidden
- 10:03Speaker 4: because of he was also an expert on steroids. That's
- 10:07Speaker 4: that that was a huge, like a fun fact for me, like, oh, no,
- 10:11Speaker 4: wonder A lot of lots of these coaches like, well,
- 10:12Speaker 4: he's souping my guys up and we're winning games, we're
- 10:15Speaker 4: winning national championships, we're looking good on whatever sport we're doing.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I'm not gonna look I'm gonna look the other way.
- 10:22Speaker 4: Plus he can incriminate me because he's getting me the stuff,
- 10:26Speaker 4: and I can look bad, So I'm gonna look the
- 10:27Speaker 4: other way if he looks the other way. And that's
- 10:29Speaker 4: a lot of what you see in this film.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's probably the biggest AHA moment for me
- 10:35Speaker 1: because I'm watching this and I'm just thinking, like, what
- 10:38Speaker 1: does this guy have on this school that they're not
- 10:40Speaker 1: just being like yo, he got you know the third report.
- 10:45Speaker 1: We're gonna just go ahead and part ways, we're gonna
- 10:47Speaker 1: find how hard would it be to just find another doctor,
- 10:50Speaker 1: Like what is this guy doing that some other doctor
- 10:53Speaker 1: couldn't just swap him out. There's the answer. And it's
- 10:56Speaker 1: not just that he's given them steroids, but he is
- 10:59Speaker 1: the nation lead. He is like a world renowned expert
- 11:03Speaker 1: on steroids. Early in the nineteen eighties before they even
- 11:07Speaker 1: get controversial, and Barry Bonds has to have like an
- 11:10Speaker 1: asterisk next to his name, right, this is like pre
- 11:12Speaker 1: all of that. And on top of this being this expert,
- 11:16Speaker 1: he's bringing guys in and telling them, oh, yeah, it's
- 11:18Speaker 1: just a BE twelve shot. So the way that he's
- 11:21Speaker 1: administering steroids to all these players at OSU, he's doing
- 11:25Speaker 1: it in a way that easily gives everybody else in
- 11:27Speaker 1: the organization a way to turn a blind eye and
- 11:30Speaker 1: they can just be like, oh, he said it was
- 11:31Speaker 1: B twelve the whole time, How was I supposed to
- 11:33Speaker 1: know it was steroids? Even though it's like, bro, you know,
- 11:36Speaker 1: like the players knew it was steroids. One guy was like,
- 11:39Speaker 1: I've had B twelve before, this was not B twelve.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I mean I felt great, I had energy, I recovered immediately,
- 11:45Speaker 1: Like they all sort of knew, but no one really
- 11:47Speaker 1: said anything.
- 11:48Speaker 5: And that's that's the reason.
- 11:49Speaker 1: That's the reason why this guy was around for twenty
- 11:52Speaker 1: plus years, becomes emeritus, right, like gets to retire with credentials.
- 11:59Speaker 1: It's all because he had this dirt, but he was
- 12:02Speaker 1: very useful to this organization. It just turns out that
- 12:05Speaker 1: his fee for providing this service was to molest like
- 12:09Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy guys in this And so even
- 12:13Speaker 1: if we're like, yeah, okay, I can understand he's gonna
- 12:14Speaker 1: take your scholarship away, maybe you don't know what a
- 12:16Speaker 1: physical supposed to entail.
- 12:18Speaker 5: So it's it's not just like straight up, the.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Guy just started jerking me off and like talking dirty
- 12:24Speaker 1: and lit candles. It was like I'd like they didn't
- 12:26Speaker 1: know if this was over the line or not, Like
- 12:29Speaker 1: I guess he's a doctor. I mean, hell, if he's
- 12:31Speaker 1: been here for twenty years and every other guy in
- 12:33Speaker 1: this locker room all has been through the exact same thing,
- 12:36Speaker 1: because they're joking about it, so clearly it's real, Like
- 12:40Speaker 1: if this guy's still here, I guess this is normal.
- 12:42Speaker 1: That this isn't really a sault. So that's one of
- 12:44Speaker 1: the angles. What about the guy that was his peer though,
- 12:48Speaker 1: the other guy that comes in for a shower and
- 12:51Speaker 1: he says, yeah, doctor Strauss. He comes into the shower
- 12:54Speaker 1: and he stands right next to me. This is like
- 12:56Speaker 1: the the urinal law he violates immediately right like he
- 12:59Speaker 1: goes right next to me in the shower, dis Robes
- 13:02Speaker 1: and he says that as he's taking a shower, he
- 13:04Speaker 1: feels a hand on his ass and all of a sudden,
- 13:06Speaker 1: doctor Strauss is like massaging. Is that he didn't explain
- 13:10Speaker 1: beyond that. It sounded like it had to have been
- 13:12Speaker 1: more than just like he touched my butt with his hand.
- 13:15Speaker 1: It sounds like it goes beyond that. But I was
- 13:18Speaker 1: just thinking, like, now, what's this guy's excuse? And he
- 13:21Speaker 1: was the same age as Strauss, roughly right when they're
- 13:24Speaker 1: interviewing this movie. He's probably sixties seventies and he's talking
- 13:28Speaker 1: about I didn't know what to do. I was shocked,
- 13:31Speaker 1: you know, I like, normally I would have just knocked
- 13:33Speaker 1: somebody out, but for some reason, I just sat there
- 13:36Speaker 1: and pretended like it didn't happen. And then he said
- 13:39Speaker 1: that he immediately went and reported it to assistant head
- 13:43Speaker 1: coach Jim Jordan, who's now a Republican congressman, right, and
- 13:49Speaker 1: Jim Jordan was just like, yeah, that's that's Strauss man,
- 13:52Speaker 1: that's doctor Strauss.
- 13:53Speaker 5: What are you gonna do?
- 13:54Speaker 3: So, you know, he's a little Fondlert.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Then the implication is just that everybody knew about this,
- 14:01Speaker 1: and eventually people.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Were just kind of joking about it.
- 14:12Speaker 4: Hidden treasures and overboard moments. There is hidden treasures, and
- 14:17Speaker 4: you alluded to it in our last segment. Jim Jordan
- 14:20Speaker 4: was a hidden treasure for me because I'm like, I've
- 14:23Speaker 4: I've followed sports, but I'm not a huge wrestling guy,
- 14:26Speaker 4: and I don't know every single person that I knew.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Jim Jordan went to Ohio State. But You're like, who
- 14:31Speaker 4: wha whooa. This guy that's always calling people out was
- 14:35Speaker 4: in the monthst among this huge silent scene. It's almost
- 14:40Speaker 4: like pre Epstein list, right, He's like, oh yeah STRAUSI man,
- 14:43Speaker 4: don't where about STROUSI man, you get in there. You
- 14:45Speaker 4: know you have a little peepe touch every now and
- 14:47Speaker 4: then you're gonna go. But he'll shoot you up with
- 14:49Speaker 4: some be twelve wink wink and that problem.
- 14:52Speaker 3: In your knees going away.
- 14:54Speaker 4: I thought that was a highlight because I didn't realize
- 14:56Speaker 4: because at first I kept hearinghim say Jim Jones. I
- 14:58Speaker 4: mean Jim Jones. I think that's a different documentary Jim Jordan.
- 15:01Speaker 4: And I'm like, I can't be the same Jim Jordan
- 15:03Speaker 4: is it? And I'm like looking up at the same
- 15:06Speaker 4: time I'm looking it up, I'm like, oh, that is
- 15:08Speaker 4: US representative Jim Jordan is a part of this scandal,
- 15:12Speaker 4: which I found to be fascinating because I never knew
- 15:16Speaker 4: that he was a part of the scandal.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I mean, it's his doctor, right, like if you are,
- 15:23Speaker 1: he's assistant coach next to the main coach. They both knew,
- 15:26Speaker 1: and that's kind of the ones that interact with them
- 15:28Speaker 1: the most. Those would be the ones if they were
- 15:30Speaker 1: to complain to administration. Then it's like, oh, man, if
- 15:33Speaker 1: my head coaches are coming to me saying that this
- 15:35Speaker 1: guy needs to go, then he needs to go. But
- 15:37Speaker 1: there was nothing but benefit for them to just keep
- 15:40Speaker 1: him on the payroll for this. The biggest hidden treasure
- 15:43Speaker 1: for me is that we get interviews directly with all
- 15:47Speaker 1: these people. You get depositions from back in like the
- 15:51Speaker 1: nineties for the few times that this ever started to
- 15:54Speaker 1: become a legal thing against spoiler alert, Like, no one's
- 15:56Speaker 1: got in trouble, no one's been successfully sued over this
- 16:00Speaker 1: thing has come of it other than this documentary essentially,
- 16:03Speaker 1: And I think that it's it's crazy to actually see
- 16:08Speaker 1: how some of this stuff played out and how there
- 16:11Speaker 1: was like no hope of anyone being brought to judgment
- 16:14Speaker 1: for any of this. Like again, Jim Jordan's is still
- 16:16Speaker 1: active in Congress. He's it's not like he was taken
- 16:20Speaker 1: out in disgrace. You just denied any of this ever happening,
- 16:22Speaker 1: And that's pretty much how it all resolved itself. I
- 16:25Speaker 1: think that even if you don't care about sports or
- 16:28Speaker 1: wrestling or any of this stuff, it's still a documentary
- 16:31Speaker 1: you'll be interested in. You don't have to care about
- 16:33Speaker 1: sports whatsoever. So that was a little bit of a
- 16:36Speaker 1: hidden treasure. And then the whole the retrospect of all
- 16:41Speaker 1: these guys, like as they're talking to the camera and
- 16:43Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, man, after I hear like five other
- 16:46Speaker 1: people describing what happened to them, or after they show
- 16:49Speaker 1: them the report that OSU and does an internal report
- 16:53Speaker 1: complete with bar graphs and everything, it's like you get
- 16:55Speaker 1: a visual bar graph of the different types of abuse
- 16:59Speaker 1: the HID did different ferent people, and someone's like, damn,
- 17:01Speaker 1: that barograph is huge, Like they were thinking it might
- 17:03Speaker 1: have been fifteen twenty people, not nearly two hundred people.
- 17:08Speaker 1: And then they're starting to realize, Wow, like I guess
- 17:11Speaker 1: I was abused I kind of had just told myself
- 17:14Speaker 1: that maybe this was normal, Maybe this is just something
- 17:16Speaker 1: that you know, wrestlers and high end athletes go through
- 17:20Speaker 1: and they just don't talk about it. And it's like, nah,
- 17:21Speaker 1: this guy was a super creeper the entire time, just
- 17:24Speaker 1: being enabled by the whole system. So I think that
- 17:27Speaker 1: if you care at all about this topic, the documentary
- 17:30Speaker 1: does a very thorough and very.
- 17:33Speaker 5: Like like extensive look into it.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Who the people were, all the victims, and all their
- 17:39Speaker 1: claims were. I got let me jump into an overboard
- 17:42Speaker 1: moment too, And this is part of the time I'm
- 17:45Speaker 1: like rolling my eyes a little bit because one of
- 17:47Speaker 1: the main guys in here is I think his name
- 17:48Speaker 1: is Dan Ritchie, and he was the best wrestler in
- 17:52Speaker 1: the state. I think he was in like eighth grade,
- 17:55Speaker 1: taken down high schoolers. He gets a scholarship to be
- 17:58Speaker 1: on this wrestling team, and he goes through this and
- 18:01Speaker 1: he kind of becomes one of the main people that
- 18:03Speaker 1: we get interviewed in this and he's like, yeah, it
- 18:07Speaker 1: got so bad that I left the team. I quit
- 18:10Speaker 1: the team, and everyone knew why I was quitting the team,
- 18:12Speaker 1: and no one did anything about it, and he just
- 18:14Speaker 1: went back home, lost a scholarship, and it like he
- 18:17Speaker 1: kind of implies I get ruined this trajectory in his
- 18:20Speaker 1: entire life. But then he's talking about like yeah, and
- 18:23Speaker 1: like sometime after that, oh, did I mention that doctor
- 18:26Speaker 1: Strauss was also a really good photographer and he would
- 18:30Speaker 1: do modeling photography.
- 18:31Speaker 5: He even got one guy a modeling job.
- 18:33Speaker 1: So even though I'm going through all this trauma and
- 18:37Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm quitting the team coach, I don't want
- 18:39Speaker 1: to have to deal with this guy on weekends, I'm
- 18:42Speaker 1: going to this guy's house and I'm like, yeah, take
- 18:44Speaker 1: nude photos of me because I can make money from it.
- 18:47Speaker 5: And then I think he might have drugged me. I
- 18:49Speaker 5: think it might have gotten inappropriate. I wasn't expecting that,
- 18:51Speaker 5: and I was like.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Bro, like it's hard to say both things out of
- 18:56Speaker 1: the same mouth and the same documentary. On one angle,
- 18:58Speaker 1: It's like I didn't know it was wrong, and you know,
- 19:00Speaker 1: I felt so weird that I just I quit.
- 19:02Speaker 5: I took a stay and I quit.
- 19:04Speaker 1: But also I did a little bit of nude modeling
- 19:06Speaker 1: for him on the side, So I mean, people are complex, right,
- 19:10Speaker 1: and I'm not just gonna say, every decision needs to
- 19:13Speaker 1: be rational and understood. But like he kind of presents
- 19:17Speaker 1: one case and then they don't really explore like, well,
- 19:20Speaker 1: why why did you do that? What was going through
- 19:22Speaker 1: your mind in that? So that was a little overboard
- 19:24Speaker 1: for me. I wish the documentary would have pressed.
- 19:27Speaker 5: On it a little bit more.
- 19:28Speaker 1: But this is one of those documentaries where they don't
- 19:30Speaker 1: necessarily like insert themselves into the dialogue, so all you
- 19:36Speaker 1: get are their own words.
- 19:38Speaker 4: And you're seeing them in real time kind of like, well, yeah,
- 19:41Speaker 4: I guess we shouldn't do that. He was saying, like
- 19:44Speaker 4: it probably was wrong. Maybe that was on me. He
- 19:47Speaker 4: even says that, like he as he's telling the story,
- 19:50Speaker 4: he's probably realizing like, yeah, maybe that's on me. Man,
- 19:53Speaker 4: Yeah on me, Bud, Sorry about that. Guys, we could
- 19:56Speaker 4: wrap this up. I probably shouldn't have been like, yeah,
- 19:59Speaker 4: let's push the issue so I can get some pictures
- 20:01Speaker 4: from this guy. And he's like then he tells me
- 20:02Speaker 4: take my shirt off, Like what's he talking about? Like, man,
- 20:05Speaker 4: come on, man, you know the guy. He's already fondled you.
- 20:09Speaker 4: You should you should be knowing what's happening. But I
- 20:11Speaker 4: do want to highlight something else that I thought I
- 20:12Speaker 4: was a hidden treasure that is male sexual assault. Like
- 20:17Speaker 4: it's something that you're not gonna hear a lot about. Right,
- 20:20Speaker 4: if this is happening, it's easier to keep it under wraps.
- 20:22Speaker 4: I'm not saying that when this happens to women, because
- 20:25Speaker 4: this happened in Michigan State, this happened to a couple
- 20:27Speaker 4: other departments. But usually, like the women come forward, and
- 20:30Speaker 4: I think that the men are in this weird like
- 20:34Speaker 4: sphere where they're like, well, I don't want someone to
- 20:36Speaker 4: say I'm gay or like you know what I mean,
- 20:38Speaker 4: or auto, so it doesn't happen, and everybody's kind of
- 20:41Speaker 4: like in suit. So not only are all the coaches
- 20:45Speaker 4: and all the staffers and everybody at the administration level
- 20:48Speaker 4: kind of being silent on it.
- 20:49Speaker 3: The players are too.
- 20:50Speaker 4: They're joking about it, but they're they don't want to
- 20:53Speaker 4: hurt their ego. And I think that's like a hidden
- 20:55Speaker 4: treasure within itself is where you're like, yeah, you gotta
- 20:58Speaker 4: look at situations and like, not only would it have
- 21:00Speaker 4: been good for you to speak up for yourself, but
- 21:03Speaker 4: maybe like half of those people don't have to encounter
- 21:06Speaker 4: him if you push the issue, but it's men are
- 21:09Speaker 4: afraid to push that issue and there would rather get
- 21:11Speaker 4: a pet touch and be like all right, I'm just
- 21:13Speaker 4: gonna get out of this and then bringing it the
- 21:15Speaker 4: attention and bring it to light because it had to
- 21:17Speaker 4: be a woman to actually get this ball rolling. And
- 21:22Speaker 4: the only thing that did happen was they were like,
- 21:23Speaker 4: all right, well he won't do the fencing anymore. Right,
- 21:27Speaker 4: They're like, he'll do all the other sports, but fencing
- 21:29Speaker 4: he's out of that now.
- 21:30Speaker 3: So I was just like, that's a hidden treasure for me.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Is We're like, hey, if something like that's happening, speak up,
- 21:36Speaker 4: Like if you can't, okay, I don't expect someone to
- 21:39Speaker 4: swing on the guy, but speak up, man, you gotta
- 21:42Speaker 4: like help the next guy. Man, you some guy just
- 21:45Speaker 4: grabbing dongs all day has got to be exposed.
- 21:48Speaker 1: And they did make a really good point in this
- 21:51Speaker 1: documentary that because this is all happening in the seventies, eighties,
- 21:56Speaker 1: and nineties, right, it basically is spanning two and a
- 21:59Speaker 1: half decks gides, and in twenty seventeen, this is like
- 22:02Speaker 1: twenty years after this guy's been dead. In twenty seventeen,
- 22:07Speaker 1: another story happens in the media where Larry Nasar, who
- 22:10Speaker 1: was training the Olympic gymnasts, that all of a sudden,
- 22:14Speaker 1: these gymnasts all start coming forward and he apparently like
- 22:16Speaker 1: I didn't really understand the details of that either. Is basically,
- 22:19Speaker 1: he was doing the exact same thing, but he was
- 22:21Speaker 1: doing it to like younger girls, and that now they're
- 22:25Speaker 1: old enough that they had talked to each other and
- 22:27Speaker 1: they had talked to their parents and talked to other
- 22:29Speaker 1: doctors and slowly put together like, oh what those little
- 22:33Speaker 1: physicals that he was doing were not normal. So this
- 22:36Speaker 1: goes through trial and he's still alive, so he gets tried.
- 22:39Speaker 1: It's making news, and as this has taken shape in
- 22:43Speaker 1: like the public media, all these guys from Ohio State
- 22:47Speaker 1: are like, damn, this sounds exactly like what doctor Strauss
- 22:51Speaker 1: was doing to us twenty years ago. So they start
- 22:54Speaker 1: connecting with each other and putting together the pieces and
- 22:57Speaker 1: that's when this thing comes to I guess head and
- 23:01Speaker 1: forms what we get out of this documentary. But it
- 23:04Speaker 1: was that being the catalyst as the girls' gymnastics teams
- 23:08Speaker 1: going against Larry Nasar, that they.
- 23:10Speaker 5: Were like, oh, it was wrong.
- 23:11Speaker 1: I knew that dude was being creepy. But I guess
- 23:15Speaker 1: we just joked it off instead of bringing them to court.
- 23:23Speaker 3: It's about that time, sink or swim.
- 23:28Speaker 5: I'll give this one a peer swim man. This one
- 23:30Speaker 5: it blew my mind.
- 23:32Speaker 1: It showed also how everyone got away with it, and
- 23:36Speaker 1: that even right now to this day, like Jim Jordan's
- 23:39Speaker 1: not really being held accountable. Rust the lead coach was
- 23:43Speaker 1: never really held accountable the OSU itself. This has gone
- 23:46Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court turned it
- 23:50Speaker 1: down right, So the main reason is because it's just
- 23:53Speaker 1: too old, there's too much dust on it, it's outside
- 23:55Speaker 1: the statute of limitations. I think they said that it's
- 23:58Speaker 1: about two years and now we're talking over twenty that
- 24:01Speaker 1: a lot of this happened in so all the courts
- 24:04Speaker 1: are just like, sorry, you should have spoken up earlier.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Just another version of like me too, only drives in
- 24:10Speaker 1: one direction, I guess. But it's a total swim just
- 24:14Speaker 1: because you don't have to care about sports, you don't
- 24:17Speaker 1: even have to care about.
- 24:18Speaker 5: True crime or anything.
- 24:19Speaker 1: And this one is hard to forget, like how crazy
- 24:23Speaker 1: institutions can get. They mentioned this is a one point
- 24:25Speaker 1: to the Athletics Department OSU alone was one point two
- 24:29Speaker 1: billion dollars that they made over the span of all
- 24:32Speaker 1: these different allegations, and that no one's paid out, no
- 24:36Speaker 1: one's gotten any legal trouble, Like nothing has happened.
- 24:40Speaker 3: I'm going to give it a swim myself.
- 24:42Speaker 4: I like the aspect of where they blew my mind
- 24:45Speaker 4: with the Jim Jordan stuff, like I was like, dude,
- 24:47Speaker 4: I didn't even realize he's a part of this. It
- 24:49Speaker 4: just shows you how these college institutions are also powerful.
- 24:53Speaker 4: Like I love the sports and everything. It's fun to watch,
- 24:56Speaker 4: but these are powerhouses. These are not guys that are
- 24:58Speaker 4: just like, you know, a couple hundred dollars to get
- 25:01Speaker 4: their their new tennis shoes. Know, these are billion dollar
- 25:04Speaker 4: corporations that run shit. So they will also hide things.
- 25:08Speaker 4: They will silence people, they will look the other way
- 25:11Speaker 4: because they don't want that bad attention, that bad press
- 25:15Speaker 4: that they're gonna get.
- 25:16Speaker 3: And this film actually taught me some stuff. It showed
- 25:19Speaker 3: me like I should think a little.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Bit differently because I was kind of, you know, kind
- 25:24Speaker 4: of getting at these guys like, oh man, I was
- 25:26Speaker 4: one of the guys like man that happened to me,
- 25:29Speaker 4: I'll soock them in the face, man like. But I
- 25:32Speaker 4: kind of got a little bit more compassion for people
- 25:35Speaker 4: like that, where I'm like, I guess these are eighteen
- 25:36Speaker 4: year old, nineteen year old kids that don't really know
- 25:39Speaker 4: what's going.
- 25:39Speaker 5: On, and one old guy at some point.
- 25:43Speaker 3: Yeah, it won thirty year old guy.
- 25:44Speaker 4: But I think, you know, give or take some of
- 25:46Speaker 4: these stuff, Like I think you know you can wash away,
- 25:48Speaker 4: but that many accusations, and to see how easy it
- 25:52Speaker 4: is for someone like that, there's a NASA, there's what's
- 25:56Speaker 4: his name in Penn State, Sandusky.
- 25:59Speaker 3: This this is more common and prevalent than we probably think.
- 26:02Speaker 4: Like when we did the Alabama solutions and we talked like, hey,
- 26:06Speaker 4: these jails are everywhere, I think this is also everywhere.
- 26:09Speaker 4: I think if you go start looking under rugs and
- 26:13Speaker 4: all this stuff where they're hiding things, you'll see dirty
- 26:15Speaker 4: laundry out of all these huge universities of stuff like that,
- 26:19Speaker 4: because they can get away with it and have the power,
- 26:21Speaker 4: and they have these young minds that are easily to
- 26:24Speaker 4: either manipulate or to get out of the way.
- 26:26Speaker 3: So I think it's a good watch to really kind
- 26:30Speaker 3: of see how these institutions run.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I really think too a late hidden treasure on this,
- 26:36Speaker 1: but it was really it was like added a lot
- 26:41Speaker 1: of credit to it that all these guys that are
- 26:42Speaker 1: coming out and talking now, I didn't get any impression
- 26:45Speaker 1: that any of them are looking for a payday. They
- 26:47Speaker 1: probably don't expect anyone's going to be held accountable or
- 26:50Speaker 1: get money from any of this stuff, but that as
- 26:53Speaker 1: soon as the question comes up, it's like, well, here's
- 26:55Speaker 1: a clip of Jim Jordans saying that he denied it.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Every single without fail, every single person that they're interviewing
- 27:01Speaker 1: that was actually on a team with Jim Jordan as
- 27:05Speaker 1: the assistant coach, like, oh no, he's a coward and
- 27:07Speaker 1: he's a liar.
- 27:08Speaker 5: He's absolutely lying. He absolutely knew about it.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Even the thirty year old dude that was like bro
- 27:13Speaker 1: I went directly to Jim Jordan and told him that
- 27:16Speaker 1: this was happening, and he laughed it off and was like,
- 27:18Speaker 1: that's STRAUSI. So there is unequivocal at least to me.
- 27:23Speaker 1: It's not like they have proof of any of this
- 27:24Speaker 1: on video because it all happened in the eighties and nineties.
- 27:27Speaker 1: But I feel like beyond a shadow of a doubt.
- 27:30Speaker 1: I believe that all this happened, that Jim Jordan knew
- 27:33Speaker 1: that was happening, and that this is a perfect entrance
- 27:36Speaker 1: into real conspiracy theories for normies.
- 27:40Speaker 3: And it might not give you all the proof.
- 27:41Speaker 4: But if you go to Paranoid American dot com and
- 27:44Speaker 4: go get you a frazzle drip funhouse, I think that
- 27:48Speaker 4: may give you a little inside of where Jim Jordan
- 27:51Speaker 4: was going with all this.
- 27:52Speaker 3: But hey, what do I know?
