  Speaker 1: sweet tea for the southern southern folk down there. But yeah,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: so it's not alcoholic, but we still get.

• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of work, though, it is a lot

  Speaker 1: I'm having a blast.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It's make it okay. I haven't been like Halloween's not
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: This isn't my favorite. Like I've always been more of
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a Christmas yes, but this year I'm like really enjoying Halloween,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and I think it has to be about right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So because every year I'm like twisting your arm to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: freaking carve pumpkins, hand out candy or something, and this
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: year I'm doing.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Like a Halloween photo shoot. We're watching scary movies and
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I'm even like suggesting it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you wanted to watch Amityville Horror tonight?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Like it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, fuck, yeah, let's do it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It's like pretty much a new me, right, look at this.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Who I'm loving it?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah? You are loving yeah?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Also, your wu was like perfectly untiming there, So
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: You know, we must like live together or something.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we must be married or something something.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, so this is fun. Today I'm going to be
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: talking about Mary Shelley. I don't know if that rings
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: a bell.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: That rings not a single bell.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's not going to be ringing bells
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: for people, but who knows. So Mary Shelley and her
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: dead husband's heart. Ooh, that sounds kind of intriguing, does
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: it not?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Sounds a little twisted and definitely intriguing.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: So who is Mary Shelley?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Do tell?
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: So she was born on August thirtieth seventh, seventeen ninety seven,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: so fucking long ago. I don't even know how to
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: say the date. And then she died on February first,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: eighteen fifty one. So she's an English novelist who called
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the novel Frankenstein.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Oh shit, really super cool.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So I guess it was called frank Frankenstein or the
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: modern pers I was like, shit, how do I say that?
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to like recall how I.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Was n face. You're just like terror.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: So yeah, this is the creator of Frankenstein, and I
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: have absolutely no idea when I picked this case because
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I picked it for other reasons, the heart reason, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: it just like fell into my lap. How perfect it was?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Oh dang, I love when shit like that happens.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know, I just thought that was
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: super cool. So Frankenstein tells the story of I feel
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: like most people will know Frankenstein, but whatever. It tells
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It creates a what creature?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Sapient?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: What the fuck does that mean?
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I think it's like sane? Oh, okay, does that make sense?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Got you?
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Does that make sense that it would be sane?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know? Did I ask you sensible? Okay? I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: was gonna say, did I ask you a word that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you're not too sure? Like one of those words where
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you can like use it in a sentence but you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: don't know how to define it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, no, I know what it means. But now
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I'm like, does that make sense? But Frankenstein? Now I'm
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: trying to remember exactly frank Sein Steele, but I think
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I'm getting him mixed up with the other green creature,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the other green creature from like Avengers, the Hulk.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: How are you getting because like the.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Hulk is like kind kind of right, the Hulk he
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: ends up isn't kind at all? Is he like he's
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: just a monster.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: No, Frankenstein is more kind the whole Okay, the Hulk
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is not fucking kind.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: So I'm getting them mixed up and ship Okay, I'm thinking,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I guess of the Hulk before he's green just as
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: a person.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Bruce Banner. How do you get Bruce Banner, the Hulk
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and Frankenstein all mixed up in one pot?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is just anyways Frankenstein.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Frankenstein was supposed to be Frankenstein's monster. Doctor Frankenstein creates
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the monster, and his monster was supposed to be this monster,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but he was this kind gentleman.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, shit, because it's actually been quite a while
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: since I've watched like any Frankenstein thing, gotcha? So okay,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: so that would be that would make sense? Then? Yes, yes, wow,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: you just asking one simple question on the most wickening
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: grim roller coaster that I think we've had yet pretty much.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Unless you watch drunk Wickeding Groom because that's all that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Is totally Yeah, that's like a little glimpse and both
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: of us are completely like, oh I had a small
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: glass of wine.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I've had a sip of iced tea that has no
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: booze in it whatsoever.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, so back to this freaking story. So Mary started
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: writing the story when she was just eighteen years old,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Like that's young, Like, no, kid, not the kind of
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: shit that I was doing when I was eighteen. I
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: wasn't writing this Frankenstein like amazing thing that was about
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to come to be, not at all. I can't remember
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: what I was doing at eighteen. You were dating me, Yeah,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I think we probably would have been graduated in Heis.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I think I would have been in college. Yeah, but yeah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So with the first edition being published anonymously, apparently in
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: London on January first, eighteen eighteen, when she was just twenty,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: her name would appear on the second edition, which was
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: published in Paris in eighteen twenty one. She needs her
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: name on that ship.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder why she went anonymous at first.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I know, I didn't even look into that. I just
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: threw it in there, but I didn't look into why,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Like why would you you know. So it's argued that
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Frankenstein should be considered the first true science fiction story.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: So like, woop woop, marys like amazing, that's a big deal. Yeah,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Like I think this whole thing like so far. I'm
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: just like she's freakind of amazing. So in eighteen sixteen,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Mary would Mary would marry Holy Facts. Like reading that out,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that doesn't make sense, but it does make sense.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: So she would marry Percy Shelley. I think it's Shelley.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I should mention her maiden name was Mary Godwin and
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I never I should should have put that at the beginning.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: So Percy was a romantic poet, so he was also
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: a writer.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Good combo for the two of them not to get together,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I know, because.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I just like imagine like him, Percy being on like
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the bachelor bachelorette and that being his occupation, Like boom,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you'd get snatched up instantly, No kidding, that's freaking desirable.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I feel like, apparently need to start writing me poems
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: and shit, what.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I've already got you? No need to breast now?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Wow wow wow love you Yeah, I love you too.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: In July eighteen twenty two, Percy took his new boat
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: on a journey, a journey that would not see his return.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Oh shit, duh.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: As they were on route home, his boat was caught
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: in a horrific storm, and unfortunately Percy and his two
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: companions on the boat drowned in that storm.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Oh dang, Like, holy frae.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I feel like they'd just be like terrifying. That's like
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: the movie A Perfect Storm or whatever.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: So Percy drowned in the boat.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Well, he like he drowned. He wasn't in the boat,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I don't think, but like his boat capsized and they drowned.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, they drowned, gotcha, which.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I just think would be one of the worst ways
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: to die. Yet, Well, what, I'm also terrified of the ocean.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I didn't say I'm not terrified I would go on
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: the ocean. There's just I don't know, that just seems
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: so scary.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: There's some scary shit down there, being in.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: A boat on the ocean, just like being Yeah, I
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: think we've talked about how we just don't want to
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: go on a cruise ship and that's why. So their
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: bodies were not found until ten days later.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: But they were found.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Well, so they washed up on the shore. Yeah, okay,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: so they were basically unrecognizable. You can imagine what the
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: sea would do to three decept.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I think water actually speeds up the decomp processed
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: by like three times or something like that. So seriously, yeah,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: so imagine like thirty days of a body on dry
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: land is essentially equivalent to ten days.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: And I wonder why that would be. Oh I wonder
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: if it would be the same in salt as fresh
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Oh sorry, now, okay, you gave me a good tidbit.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Now I want to know more, and you don't.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Know the more, I don't know more. I was just
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a little fact that And I don't know for sure
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: if it's three times, but I know it's something along
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: those lines.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Well it kind of like makes sense, like they get
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: like so bloated and just like pruney.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Water and falling apart sort of thing.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a real good visual here, delicious. So basically
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: not pretty. Percy was identified by the clothing that he
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: was wearing. That's basically how they went to bout identifying.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, I'm like that's interesting. Hopefully he was wearing
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: nice clothes. His body was cremated on the beach, was
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: washed ashore on and oh, I forgot to do the
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: pronounce dot ca a or whatever dot com for this,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: and it was near Oh, I don't even know. Vague, No,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I was gonna that sounds like viagram be Oh, I
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: don't even know. How would you pronounce that? It's a
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: city in Tuscany, Italy. So it's an Italian name, via Reggio,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Via Reggio, via Tuscany, Italy.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's basically should have just said some some in Italy
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: or something on a beach in Italy. There we go.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, So now it is super interesting is when the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: fire was out and the smoke had cleared, nothing remained
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: but bones ash and apparently Piercy's heart.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: His heart, his heart, his heart didn't the heart was preserved.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: So this is fot this is wild. Percy had suffered
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: from tuberkials. Yeah, oh my god, tubercule. Now I can't
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: even say that I'm tuberculosis and it is they Oh
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: my gosh.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Have another drink.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I don't even have a drink. I bet you'd probably
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: pronounced it better if I was. Probably so, And it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: they theorized that the disease has had calciufied the.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Organ calcified his heart.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Really, that's just the ship that I found out right.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: So his remains were gathered up, including his heart, and
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: put in a box. Okay, So, and this is like
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: it's rumor, has it right? Like I mean like it's
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: a legend kind of thing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but let's just play with the idea for a
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: second here. How the fuck would a calcified heart still
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: be beating?
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: It wasn't? Oh, okay, I went in the file, ben,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: that's where it went.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: When he was alive with a calcified heart in his chest,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: how would he still be alive?
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: He was only like twenty eight or twenty nine or
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: whatever when he died, so he was like young. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: just don't so if that's the case, that you would
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: kind of even imagine how long would he have lived?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe part of his heart was calcified and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that part was still there.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Because there was like other reports and stuff that said
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: it was still like charred. So like, I don't think
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: it was like this pretty preserved.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Like it was still had some damage to it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Okay. So his his remains were gathered. Now, Mary, being
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: a woman, apparently wasn't allowed to have been at this funeral.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And I'm not going to go into that. I just
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: that's just what it said, which I thought was really weird.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Old timey weird stuff.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I know, far we've come, eh, not far enough, Nope,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: but ridiculously enough. She was also not immediately given Percy's remains,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: but had to convince the holder, who was I think
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: a friend of Percy's, to be given his remains.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, good lord, well at least they were
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: handed over.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he did reluctantly give them over to Mary.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: And rumor has it that the day she died, that
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: up until the day she died, she kept his heart
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: with her.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Oh dang.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: And I mean okay, like, in all fairness, like, are
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: you gonna throw that chit in the garbage? Probably not right?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Get no, yeah, well, I mean bury it with his
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: remains maybe.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Touche touche. So what she would do, however, was wrap
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: it in a silk bag and carry it around with
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: her like on our day to day day to day. Wow,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: And that parts of it messed up. I can't really
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: defend that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's odd.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: But I don't know. I feel like maybe it's an
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: epic love story of sorts, the new Romeo and Juliet.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Perhaps you never know.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know when was Romeo and Juliet written.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. Don't want me to google it.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Probably before this, I would assume.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Do you think I'm googling this? Should we know? I
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: actually haven't watched that show forever?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: That show I like, can you specifically go right right
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to the movie, not the book or the play or anything,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: just oh, the movie.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I don't at this date Premiere fifteen ninety seven. I
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: don't know if that's legit. Is it? Probably I was
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: thinking of another way, way, way earlier, way earlier. Okay,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like in my heart it's
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: kind of like an epic love thing. But I don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: know if people are going there, but I went there.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So I would, I would say, I would.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like she loved him? Yeah, you know, clearly
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: she thought he was an asshole. She probably wouldn't thrown
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: in the garbage.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Probably so.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: In February first, eighteen fifty one, Mary herself would pass
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: away from a suspected brain tumor, the heart not being
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: with her at the time of her death, So there
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: you go. At some point she must have stopped carrying
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: it around with her. It wasn't until a year later,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: when Mary and Percy's son started cleaning out her belongings
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: that Percy's heart was found again. It was found in
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Mary's writing desk drawer, alongside with hair clippings from their
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: lost children and notebooks they had shared. Wrapped in a
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: page of his last written poem was the remains of
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Percy's charred heart.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, wrapped in the remains of his last written poem, holy.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Page of his last room poems. His last written poem
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: was actually really long. I was going to read it
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: on here and I have I have a passage or
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: whatever to read, but it's really long. So I just
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: picked the short.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Passage fair enough.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: So that last poem that he'd written, Oh the sentence
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: doesn't make sense, that poll on you.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: So the poem that he had written it was about
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the death of John Keats, who was also a romantic poet,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: who died from tuberculosis. So I just thought that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Was just interesting that a little parallel there.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like his last poem or whatever, A page of
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: it wrapped his heart and it was about death kind of,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: and it was someone that had died from something that
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: preserved his heart apparently, you know, I don't know. I
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: just thought that was interesting. So yeah, that's basically the
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: story of Mary Shelley in her dead husband's heart. And
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I wanted to finish off the episode with a passage
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: from his last written poem, being that there were writers,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: and being that his everlasting heart was surrounded by these words.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is what page of the
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: poem was surrounding his heart. I couldn't find that out,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: but I just picked kind of a passage or whatever
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: that I liked the best.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: All right, let's hear it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: So the poem and I didn't look to see here.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: We're gonna pause for one second. So the poem was
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: titled Adonis, this is passage ten, and there was like
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: fifty five should that be what do you call it?
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Passage paragraphs? I don't know. Yeah, So it was like
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: hell along because at first I was like, I'm gonna
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: read this shit, but I was like, no, no one
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: wants to sit here for that would take me probably
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: an hour, okay.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, me JACKO should read it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and oh, people would listen to that probably okay,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: you ready, Yes.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I am, okay, let's hear it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: And one with trembling hands clasped his cold head and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: fans him with her moonlight wings and cries, our love,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: our hope, our sorrow is not dead. See on the
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: silken fringe of his faint eyes, like do upon a
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: sleeping flower, there lies a tearsome dream has loosened from
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: his brain, lost and of a ruined paradise she knew
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: not was her own, as with no stain, she faded
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: like a cloud which had outwept its rain. Wow, Like
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I was like, he's really good at writing. That's beautiful.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: That is wow. So yeah, so this was like the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: tragic love story basically between these two and how she
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: carried his heart around and it she just so fucking
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: happened to be the creator of Frankenstein as well, I know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: which is also this tragic love story because these two
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: monsters are brought to this world and it's wow.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I know, I just like, this is like an amazing story,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and I do have to feel I feel like Percy,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Like I feel like it's very evident how much Mary
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: loved Percy. But I know like Percy had cheated on
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: her and I didn't even throw that in there. So
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: it's like, I don't know. I mean, then maybe that
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: was more accepted. I don't. I have no idea. I
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: feel really lucky saying that. But it's like she I
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: think because there was even one article I read that
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: she had the opportunity I think to cheat on him
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: and like he even like was all right with it
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: or something, and she didn't because she just couldn't to him. Wow,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: So I think I feel like she really loved him.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of it's I don't know, it's just
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: a sweet, interesting story. And like the fact that she
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: was the creator of Frankenstein, I think is like dope
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: as shit and it's.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Got that little like morbid macabre touched to it with
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the heart. I wonder where his heart is today, if
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I should get if anyone even knows
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: where it.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Is, Yeah, maybe they bury they could have buried it
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: with him.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to assume they don't know
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: where his heart is, because if they do, they would
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: probably be able to confirm like if his heart was
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: calcified or what.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Right you know, if this is actually legit.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so that's a cooler but legend though, I
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: know if it's true or how much of it is
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: true anyways, because clearly some of it's true.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Oh clearly, yeah. I mean the fact that they existed
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: and that she wrote Frankenstein and stuff is true.
• 21:12
