Is that good when you're with Amex? It's not if it's going to happen, but when American Express don't live life without it. Welcome to stuff, you missed in history, glass, a production of Iheart Radio, hello, unhappy, Brad, I'm Tracy, B Wilson and I'm Holly fry this week. We talked about rabies because has I I needed to no more than I knew about whether everybody got their rabies, Prophylaxis after being bitten by the Capitol Hill Fox rate, something I learns like to me. It is obvious knowledge that rabies is dead,

see and that if you are bitten by a wild animal, particularly if you're bitten by a wild animal that seems to be behaving strangely or if you're bitten by a bat. But other situations too, like you need to go to a doctor. You're probably going to need to get rabies. Prophylaxis like this is not a thing that has any level of question or doubt or uncertain. In my mind, some of the people who died of rabies in twenty twenty one in the United States didn't know of it being bitten by a bat needed medical attention. Re Babbitt's can also be really small and hard to detect. So that is a factor too but like in those particular cases, it does seem like the people knew they had been bitten by just didn't, think anything of it, and then there was.

one person among there's five who did receive rabies Prophylaxis but had like an underlying immune system disorder bit meant that it was one of the rare cases where that Prophylaxis does not work. I decided, may be the reason I know this so intrinsically is because I was raised in the country by an anxious person did taught me a whole lot about not touching bats and not petting stray dogs and not try to pet wild animals, not just because of rabies. There are many good reasons not to try to pat wild animals. eight we had a farm when I was young, and so I can have got the like. If you see a dog or other animal that seems to be wandering around or is aggressive towards any of the animals you know as ours. Please tell us immediately, like I

I have got it that way well and also through through the popular culture such as dissolve old Geller, see I, when you said the popular culture actually got excited, because my two favorite animation shows how movies, which is defunct and Bob's burgers. have covered rabies and how movies has a fabulous rap about Louie Pasteur. So this episode was like me holding back the whole time. Oh yeah, I thought about talking more about the rabies than popular culture, but there I mean there is just so much of it. It would honestly be all other thing because well yeah Geller there is that the scene and to kill a mocking bird there's the entirety of cool EL like behind it just goes on and on and on and on

I mean my my immediate references are a little later right because Linda Belcher watches the raccoons in the alley, bind the Berger Joint and has names for them like little king trash mouth and the oblong, and at one point one of them is in the house polo their harbouring a fugitive for reasons that I will go into but and they're trying to make sure the kids don't know. There's a wreck. In the house cause the yeah it's to get bitten. Linda, says: babies, gettin, rabies, oh, and it makes me laugh every time, because John Roberts is a genius. I've never read or watched Cujo, but like I still know that it's about a big rabbit die a big rabid dog like it's. Clearly it's right there altogether, as you were going to tell a bad story, Oh so I feel like I have been throwing my deceased mother under the bus a few times lately on behind the scenes, but this is another

because she was an anxious person and my parents had a pool They put it in after I moved away, but, like my mom would love to, as anybody would produce in the evenings. Go it just kind of like a lion float in the pool lights back. I realise that there was a pool there and they would buzz the pool, unlike take a drink of water, oh as they flew over, which I thought was amazing, but my mom would shriek like this. It was more dangerous than the bats cause. It was tense, and so I, I think about bats buzzing, the pool and to get their water while she floated and her just losing her mind when I was in high school. I was in a drum and bugle corps and we would be rehearsing outdoors in the summer time, basically until it got dark and We would be doing like our final run. Throughs of the whole show in the approaching twilight hours,

and there were the a bat roost somewhere on the campus, where we were living in rehearsing and ass. The sun started to go down, the bats, we come out and they would fly around and then you know start they would basically be eating all the mosquitoes child was appreciative of and like that was. I was I always liked watching when the bats came out, but on the occasion when I have been somewhere where a bat is not supposed to be and there's a bath there, like, I remember one time also in high school, we were in a parking garage in downtown Winston Salem. with Carolina and there was a bad on the floor and I was like do not go near that. That is a problem rates. That's why you re a lot of bat. Rescue groups are like forever trying to post on social media like hears what to do. If you see a ban on the ground price,

a not what your instinct is: yeah yeah, that's always Draghi bats are very cool and a lot of them are very cute, but in a whole lot of the world. There is also just like a small percentage of them have endemic rabies ends. So just don't don't mess with them yeah I am. I will tell us slightly horrifying story which is related to me by former veterinarian that I used to have who was telling me that a person had come to the clinic and such like. With a raccoon that hadn't that she had fare. Oh it gets so much worse, but thank goodness that veterinarians, amazing and and basically was like the veterinarian- was like hey we're not licensed to treat wild animals here like we. We can't do this

but then, like this woman, is losing her mind and she's like you have to save it. My vet is like, I think it's really rabbit and we're not you know like we can call somebody and we can get it taken care of, but like not in this clinic and And she found out that, while this woman was ranting and having her moment in the vet clinic her toddler, child was in the car and the raccoon had ridden in its life,

up to the thing, and so my vat was ling. I'm gonna call doctors nearby, like we're gonna, find an urgent care that can handle this right away. If a person has a by letting the bite itself can obviously be like a problem like that needs to be handled, but as far as the rabies prior approval axis, like that's an urgent matter, but not something that needs to happen right that second, which is good because sometimes even in places that have really robust medical systems, there's not a lot of it same thing with Nick Bite snake. My treatment and rabies treatment can both be incredibly expensive. Even if you have insurance and the United States. I know somebody they got bitten by than of a snake and

the bill they received, was a five digit number yeah, not surprised which I will do. I hate all that a whole. Oh yes, I just going to say that as a whole, banned or is above all a thing but like some of it is, is just because, while there are a lot of people that get rabies Prophylaxis every year, it's that it's not use as much as other drugs and that it can be tricky to find a place that equips and knows what to do, and in all of that, depending on exactly you live. There were people who got very upset about the Capitol Hill Fox being euthanize. They protested. We talked of the episode like that's the most. The most reliable tests involve looking directly at the brain, and then its babies also had to be used and eyes, and I think people were upset about that also but like they had been exposed to their rapid.

Mother so yeah like that it if they were not already developing rabies, they likely would have yeah so yeah yeah ladder raccoon rabies in the United States a lot a bath, also, yes in tee, but again most of these things, if we leave them alone, do call animal control if you notice the confused seeming or aggressive animal that has not behaving correctly but yeah yeah again. I I am pretty sure that it is the most effective vaccine that we have is the the rabies Prophylaxis, a nearly one hundred percent of effectiveness at keeping a person from developing rabies after they ve been bitten or otherwise expense. So

way. I think at one point I said I was not going to do any more episodes of disease eradication because we were going to run out of them, but boy. I would like it if we eradicated rabies yeah, especially eradicated rabies in land animals both for the the greater ecosystem, because a lot of those exposures come from land animals and also the deaths to people gas, hey.

as we gonna show, we talked about them or is in escaping, we sure did yeah at an episode that was inspired by a visit to the eastern state penitentiary and at that at this point I dont remember exactly what year that happened. It was before the pandemic and I was not sure what it was going to be like to go and visit it. I have some trepidations about it, because there are some buildings that used to be prisons that now have been put to uses. That just cannot make me uncomfortable because it's like, especially when we are talking about prisons that were built,

You know in the seventeenth or eighteenth or nineteenth centuries or whatever, like there's a lot happening in prisons now today. That is inherently cruel and inhumane, and that was even more so in a lot of the prisons in the past, like there's just a lot of history there. So, for example, when what used to be a prison is now a luxury hotel, I'm kind of I feel a little weird about bad and it was like. I didn't really mean that yeah I I

It really know what the historic site of the eastern State penitentiary was going to be like, but I did know that they have haunted houses and things there as as fundraisers, and I was like- I don't know how this is going to feel, but what the prison or what the, what the eastern State Penitentiary historic site has really been focused on for the last few years is like criminal justice and criminal justice reform. So there are a lot of exhibits there that are about things like how many people that the United States imprisons compared to other countries, which is disproportionately an enormous number of. bull and there's a lot of stuff there, like a lot of exhibits that are about conditions at the prison. Today, there are things that are like things from people who were housed there there.

Written in their own words? There there's just a lot of stuff that sort of about thinking about what incarceration means and what it has meant, and so after go in there I was like oh, I did not. I did not need to feel potentially Ikey like I did the time. I met some friends for a cocktail and it turned out to be at the luxury hotel that used to be a prison, and I was like the eggs feels them Yanks weighs about this brilliant yeah hotel. Let's, let's go to

place that was focused entirely on dehumanizing people and enjoy a gimlet, have some drinks and play Bochy or something I dunno. It's weird weird I and I think there are complicated. There are complicated questions about what to do with buildings that have that kind of history sometimes, but like luxury hotel in particular, is one of the weirder ones, and so, if you are in Philadelphia, that is a really interesting and thought provoking place to tour and walk around, and there was a you know, guided audio tour that you could listen to you, while, while there the wall around, it is so enormous and imposing that the idea that anybody tunneled

or even just that part of it is huge, and then the idea that the tunnel also went under pretty much the length of the exercise yard was huge tunnel yeah. I that story in most of these, really spark the imagination because of how incredibly ingenious they are right. I find myself going if only the world had worked down in a way were these people with these kinds of creative problem solving skills, were somewhere else, putting that to work yeah what they have accomplished, but in many cases they were not afforded those opportunities right right in others that there is a whole backstory context of all of these escapes about, like this, the social and economic and other issues that have fed into like the system of incarceration. That exists, which is a hall separate but related issue

a lot of ways and then connected to like to me and I'll be escape stories are also just like an expression of the inherent humanity of the people who have you been incarcerated. Have you been to Alcatraz? I have only seen out as from the shore. So many me moons ago what year is that maybe twenty team I was in San Francisco with no who used to be our producer on this issue, because we are working on drawn and we're doing some interviews there and we had Joe still have time to do like the boat ride around Alcatraz, but not lay about which was very well, but it was one of those things where, like you, I had seen it from the shore, and I remember thinking in my foolish way. I wonder This is so hard to escape from its not that far away of doable and then even when it

very, very glassy and call me realize pretty quickly. It felt like one bad. Those conditions can turn on it, I'm once you're out there in a boat and to make its it looks way farther from I went to the shore than it does from the short of island. If that makes a shore rarely you'd have to be like a trained athlete too We understand tat the water also be really really cold? And yes, and so that plays a part two

I if I'm remembering rightly you- and I are on tour one time and I had we had a day off- yes, Cisco and I one hundred percent for sure arranged my day off to be in San Francisco. But I think what happened is I had a a a travel delay. That was just enough that all the things I had planned to do, I no longer quite had the time to do so. Instead, I just walked around being a tourist, and that is when I saw it from the shore and I I feel like I had plans to maybe do the boat ride around. I don't remember if I had tried to plan to get actually on the island cause. I think it's a park now. If I'm remembering right that seems correct, I have not don't go out there based on what I just said

because I definitely did not look that up before saying that. Well, hopefully, everyone would look up such a thing before simply arise going, I'm there yeah and yeah I did take. I took pictures of it from the shore and looked at it through one of the one, little binocular things but corridors yeah. I was startled at how little it is yeah, like I think in my head before I had ever seen it in person, which I don't remember the first time I saw it in person, but in my head, because I had heard it referenced in various. You know popular culture in one I just thought of it. Is this lake huge looming structure out on it

island. I know it's a little place there I mean all of these words are relative, but it was much smaller than I anticipated yeah yeah, maybe someday. We all say so, happy riding again. Whatever is on your plate this weekend. I hope it is as good as possible. We will be back on Saturday, I did a classic and I don't think the Saturday classic this Saturday is the John Dillinger one.
