  Speaker 1: All right, we want to get into why you cheated death, 877-937-1047,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: how you cheated death, because.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: There's this crazy story. I was just reading the whole
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: story right now about why she was on death row.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Christina Pike, who is, I guess, the first female
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: to get the death penalty or actually be executed in
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: 200 years in Tennessee. So they do it by injection there,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: and they did two injections. It didn't work. She's still
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: alive in the hospital.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And they said if they give you an injection and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you don't die, the law says they have to give
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you a second one.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: But they don't have the law. What happens if the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: second one doesn't take?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I imagine now lawsuits forever.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And they said what I was just reading right now
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: is that they gave her the second injection, and then
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it was like two hours later, and they could hear
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: her snoring in the other room.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she was like, just wait.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So she so far has cheated death.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We want to know how you cheated death, Mel.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Hi, guys.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Good morning. How did you cheat death?
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, so mine is, I guess I cheated death. So
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: when I was 14 years old, I'm 36 now. When
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I was 14, me and my cousin were hanging out.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: We're two older boys. Probably shouldn't have been. And we
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: went swimming at an abandoned house. So we're swimming in
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: the pool, hanging out, having a good time. And all
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, I'm pulled by my hair up out
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: of the pool, and there's a gun to my head. Um,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: and I see the boys are being like taken away.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Me and my cousin were in our bikinis and, you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: we're being taken away. So they, they break down the door,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: put us into this house. Um, you know, keep telling us,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: don't look at us, don't look at us, whatever. So
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: they have the answer ahead. Um, finally, I don't know
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: how much time passed, but they had let us upstairs. Um,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: and they were trying to pull off our jewelry the
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: whole time, like while we were going upstairs and the, um,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: there's four guys in the room with us, they duct
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: taped me and my cousin tied us up. Um, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: we like, we were begging, you know, pleading, like, please
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: don't hurt us. And, you know, whatever, but we can
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: hear the boys like screaming in the other rooms and
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: like things being knocked around. Um, and then, so we
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: tried to like make family conversation. Well, eventually these guys
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: like almost like trusted us and, um, they gave us
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: like nicknames, like they called me precious and like her
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: beautiful and whatever.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: But anyway, so, um, they.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Were about to leave again. This was like probably four
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: hours of this happening. Um, and they had left us
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: a few times, but they're like, okay, we're going to leave.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: But if you get up, we're going to shoot you.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And we're like, okay, so we're crying and, and we hear, like,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: the cars speed off. They stole both of our cars
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: that we had. So we get up, and my cousin, like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: I'm begging her, don't get up, don't get up, because
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I think the guys are still in the house.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: So she gets up.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: We cut our tape off with, like, a broken, like,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: electrical cord cover. So we're running through the house trying
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: to find the guys. There's blood everywhere. We find one
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: of the guys in the bathroom where there's literally blood
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: covering the walls, the toilet, everything, and she runs down
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: to find the guy that she was with, We could
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: not find him anywhere, and we hear moaning. They put
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: him underneath the carpet, like, under the foam, under everything.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: He had a phone charger tied around his neck with
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: his shirt. He was soaked in blood, like, literally almost, like,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: close to death. We didn't have our cell phones. They
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: stole our cell phones, our purses, everything. So we, like,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: went to the backyard of this house, hopped the fence,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: ran through neighborhoods until we found one that, like, looked
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: okay because this was in, like, Lower Buckeye. We knocked
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: on doors. We were banging on doors, help us, help us.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: And then by the fourth door we got to, the
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: first guy had opened his garage. We didn't even say anything.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: We ran into his garage screaming. All four of us,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: bloody broken, ran into the garage and called 911. The
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: cops came and took our statements. And then we went
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: home with our parents. I had severe PTSD from it
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: for a long time. And then that was it. They
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: never caught the guys. They saw someone using a credit
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: card one time but never caught them.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: My goodness.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Scary stuff.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: If it was a movie?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: The fourth house you go into is actually the guys
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that did it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And they go, welcome.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, guys, that would be the worst, right?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: They're back.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Good Lord.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Wow, Mel, that is the craziest story. That is bizarre.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very, very scary.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: You never crashed a backyard again, I bet.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: No, we never did. I actually probably never broke the
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: law after that or did anything sketchy.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: So, yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Holy smokes.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: Okay, Mel.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: I'm glad you're alive.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Hold on the line, Mel. That's a crazy story. How
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: did you cheat death? Let us know.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: 877-937-1047. We'll get more calls after Team Impala.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Big story in the.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: News of this woman who cheated death. She's on death row.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: They gave her the lethal injection twice and she's still alive.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So we just kind of thought we'd do a quick
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: round of how did you cheat death? We just talked
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to Mel. Her story was insane. Tanisha, I hear you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: have a crazy story too.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't top, Mel. That was crazy. But yeah,
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: so when I was about eight years old, I went
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: to Six Flags with some family friends. And I had
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: gotten on a roller coaster. And because I was so little,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: they put me in between a couple, an older couple.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: And it was like one of those roller coasters where
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: the latch comes over your head. And so they pulled
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: it down and it didn't lock. But at this point
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: in time, the guy thought it had locked and he
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: went around and then they were trying to flag the
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: guy down like, hey, her thing didn't lock, her thing
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: didn't lock. And it was like.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: Just too late.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: And the roller coaster took off. And you just see
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: this couple kind of like intertwine their arms around my
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: latch over top. And the roller coaster just takes off.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: So the entire time, they're, like, holding on to the
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: straps over my chest, and I'm holding on to theirs
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: and just, like, praying for dear life the entire time
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: of the roller coaster. And I'm just like, oh, my God,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: just please let me get through this. I promise to
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: God that I'm going to be.
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: A straight-A student, everything. Just get me through it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Get me through it. I'm praying. I'm crying. And by
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: the time the roller coaster is off, like, the family is, like,
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: telling them, like, hey, you guys need to do a
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: better check on these things. Her thing wasn't locked. And
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: they're like, So right after that, like, they literally had
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: to close the roller coaster down because my thing was
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: not locking.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I wonder if it's that roller coaster that's in the news.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Do you see that one? They closed one down. No,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it's shut down.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: They're not.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's no longer around.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: But they shut it down recently. So I wonder if
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: it was the one Tanisha was on.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: The same way. I don't even remember. It was so
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: long ago. So I don't remember exactly the name of it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: But I was like, oh, my God. So after that
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: and then Final Destination came out with that roller coaster movie.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: And I was like, oh, my God, that's so could
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: have been me. So I've just been waiting, like, okay,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: am I seeing any signs out there?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Question, did you become a straight-A student?
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, good.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: All right, because you can't bargain and then don't come
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: up with it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, definitely straight-A student.
• 6:34

• 9:00
  Speaker 9: So I feel like I am the luckiest.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Person in this world.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Did you do something to cure yourself? Did you change
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: your diet? Did you exercise? Was there something you did.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Or just happened?
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: Well, I was a little girl when I had the
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: bone cancer twice. I only had a 15% chance of
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: making it. And back then, they didn't do like six.
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: you know, sessions of chemo they did. I went in
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: every three weeks for almost two years and did three
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: different chemos, um, and radiation. So I was like a
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: skeleton and, but my dad and mom, they didn't let
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: me know how sick I was. Um, and that's huge. Um,
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: so they're awesome. So I, I knew I was sick,
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: obviously I'm puking and, you know, skin and bones and
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: I have no hair and Literally looked like a skeleton,
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: but I still played softball, and my dad was my coach,
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: and parents would yell at him. like how dare you
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: and he's like you know he didn't know if I
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: was gonna you know make it and I loved it
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: and he let me and so they they got me
• 10:10

  Speaker 2: I bet. Thank you for listening, Kari.
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: No problem.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: This is going to be random. I'm going to completely
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: shift gears for one second. Pilar. Yes, hi. Hi. What
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: are you calling about?
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: So I started Googling about large clamshells.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, because John Jay has two clamshells.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's willing to sell, but I'm not into buying.
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: But I just wanted to find what was the largest
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: clamshell ever found.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: And what did you find?
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: And I sent you the info, but I got to
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: put you on speaker because I don't remember what it said.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: By the way, let me just give a little backstory.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: My mother-in-law, when she passed away, my wife Blake and I,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: or Blake, inherited these massive clamshells that she has that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: she got like in the 60s. And I believe what
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I've been told is they're illegal and they're humongous and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: they weigh like 300 pounds. Like you can't move these things.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: It's so hard to move them.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: So go ahead, Pilar. Put me on speakerphone. Let me see.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Let me know if you find a price.
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: So the one that I Googled says that it's 750
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: pounds off of Japan in 1956.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's probably where she got it. Any idea what
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: they're worth on the, I don't know, what the underground
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: clamshell market is?
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: That one I did not Google, but I just thought
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: it was interesting info.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: You know how if you see a clamshell, like, in
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a store, even if it's a small one, it's all
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: bright and shiny and polished?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. These aren't. These are humongous. Like, they were just
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: found and dried out. Like, they look like if you had.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Them and you did do that polishing thing, that they'd
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: be worth gazillions and they would be beautiful.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: Are they, like, symmetrical?
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: What does that mean?
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: Like, do they look exactly the same?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, they look like it's one clam, but they're apart.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Like you could put it on and be.
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: I think we need a picture.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Like a split, like a split clamshell. Like the clam
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: came out. Yeah, there's a giant. It's open.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: They're not attached, but they would be on top of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: each other and they're humongous.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Because when I think of clamshell, I literally think of
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: like Ariel's grotto, like her sitting in a big clamshell
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: with like, I don't know. I'm like trying to see, like,
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: do they look like real clamshells or do they look
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: like cartoon clamshells?
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: According to the internet, John Jay, you could be sitting
• 13:03
  Speaker 10: on something that's worth about $ 3, 000 to $ 10, 000.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, anyone wants to do it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: But also maybe jail time, right?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: What's the rule of that?
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: There's that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: If you inherit something that's illegal, I mean, what the heck?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I can't go to prison for that. It's not my fault.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not real sure about the rules there.
• 13:20
