Hey and welcome the short stuff. I'm Josh, there's chuck, there's Josh in this short stuff, because it twice now wasting time, listen go so this is about finding your worst nightmare realised its is pretty universal worst nightmare stuff. Yes, this is about the idea that if you go to a hotel and you're sleeping- and you get up in the morning You like what is that weird smell when you checkout? You will probably never know this. I doubt if they would follow up and let you know that there could be a dead body under that bed. Yeah and what's weird, is this: is an urban legend very widespread one that you know some friend of my cousin who he works with I went to Vegas with his wife once and had got on an elevator with Eddie Murphy right and he had a dog

again Eddie Murphy said sit Lady in and the wife sat down and it Eddie Murphy, seductive suck my diary and then gave him the paid off their mortgages right, no different than that the dikes. You know your cousins friend coworker I went to Vegas in this happened to him was weird about this. Chuck is snowplow on the case and God bless notes for doing everything they do. They said not only has this happened. This has happened many times over. This is

those rare urban legends that is actually true, that's right and a lot of hotels. There are it's sort of a platform me box, bring situation where there is a cavern as area under the box spring, but above that that platform that turns out is just right for storing Abbadie every every criminal knows. You want a sore body, every motel in America. Has you covered pretty much? Should we go through some of these? I think we should because again like this has happened many times one of the first one snobs talks about happen in two thousand three at the cop Primo in downtown Kansas City and one of the recurring themes that I've seen chuck his management sometimes won't do anything will be like sorry. Nothing can be done as the own room. We have. You have to stay here and people will stay there, despite the stench of what turns out to be a decomposing body like in this case. Yet a dead thing is very specific.

Now I would not for one second, even unpack my suitcase and give it a shot way well guy in Kansas City, not only impact a suitcase. After planning about the room and being told nothing to be done about it. He stay there for three nights from July, tenth to July, 13th and finally checked out because of the smell, and I looked on those dates in two thousand and three in Kansas City that got up to around. Andy, how good Lord saw, but it was pretty smelly and finally, housekeeping was like Wallace figure out what the season they lift up the mattress and there was a body in this state of advance DE composition July. I'm sorry June. Ninety, ninety nine sixty four year old Saul Hernandez was discovered inside and her bed at the Burgundy motor, and I hate calling out these hotels. But I guess it is what it is room one twelve. He had fiscally specifically

Don't say there in that way: a city in fact it's Atlantic City, so it may not even be there at this point the air with wonder that matter, but a jerk couple God bless and they did know any better. They spent the night they're sleeping over his body. They complained the manager about the smell they didn't mind, got to do something about it and that's when they found the body every german tourists are recurring motif in this urban lead. Come to life, because in nineteen eighty four in Florida there were two cases. One thousand nine hundred and ninety four load and both of them were bodies that were discovered after complaints from german tourists. So they have really bad luck with this kind of stuff, Lovely Pasadena Calif, the wonderful Colorado Boulevard Travelodge in July nineteen, eighty six, a woman! found under a mattress, they discovered her ten days later. After guess, it complained for several days of a foul odor. At this point, I would think if someone says there's a bad smell, I would just immediately

estimate, the body and look yeah. You think it would be like a recurring kind of like column that pops up in like the hotel times or you know, motel industry, news magazine or something like that, but I guess not because it still continues this Snopes trace it all the way back to. I think, one thousand nine hundred and eighty two was there: the first report that they mention. I don't know if it was the first time it's ever happened, but between one thousand nine hundred and eighty two and two thousand and ten found ten cases, and this is not just a body being discovered in a hotel room. Apparently that happens multiple times a day.

Every day everywhere in the world. I guess from what this looks like, but what snub to things like? No, we have to stick to the urban legend were somebody. The body was discovered because somebody slept above it overnight and at least ten times between eighty two and two thousand and ten that happened yeah. That's you know that cut it off, like you said in two thousand to and if he does, Google a dead body it's all mattress. That happens a lot still there. There was those one then Austin last year, when the year before somewhere else, I can't remember yeah, but they're kind of all over the place. It seems. Annual event like the Macy's Thanksgiving, giving day parade or something once wells way worse than the other. I let you gets the so do you want to. I take a break and come back a little bit yet

Come back in a second talk, a little bit about another way that bodies find their way to hotel rooms. By Hamas is the newest resort destination in the Bahamas, comprises three luxurious ocean front hotels ran high as less in rosewood, the resort overlooks sparkling turquoise water and the whites. Of cable beach, it's just a short flight from the?

State visit, Baja, more darker, that be a h, H, M, a our dot com. You know, hiring is challenging

but there is one place you can go where hiring is simple fast and smart yeah. I got little story for you about quotable cofounder, Gretchen Heathen, her she experienced first hand just how challenging hiring can be after unsuccessfully searching for a new game artists to grow with her education, tech company, but she switch to zip recruiter, saw an immediate difference and you can't do by signing up for free at zero recruiter. Dotcom, slash, stuff, zip recruiter, doesn't depend on candidates. Finding you, if I them for you, in fact, just to resolve Gretchen story after she posted Unzip recruiter. She heard a new game artist in less than two weeks and the world was saved well with results like that is no wonder for five employers who post on Super cruder, get equality candidate within the first day, see why zip recruiters effective for businesses of all sizes. Try zip recruiter for free at zip, recruiter, dot com, slash stuff that zipper creetur dot com, slash

I see you F, F, Zip, recruiter the smartest wait a higher. So what we talked about before was specifically, like you, said, the urban legend of bodies under a mattress under a box bring My thought was like her: they getting there. The answer is there they're all murder cases generating pretty much murder or say, like a couple of people or party in a hotel in one of em dies of the other. Wonder wanna get question Soda Mona, the murderous man stash their body, yeah yeah, because I think there's two things about this right. There's people like average people, we check into a hotel people like you and As we say in hotels, we say motels right, sleep

being unknowingly above just inches above decomposing at its very heart, one, that's horrible, but I think the second part of that makes it so horrible is like the indignity of having your body, just stuffed under a match in a city hotel you now here, so I think those two things combined and the fact that is actually happens in real life is just it makes a horrific. Well one of the other way is a body very sadly can be found in a hotel and not under a mattress is obviously suicide. People apparently check into hotels to do this. A lot for obvious reasons you want to you: don't want your family to have a mess, necessarily business to avert exposure may be to the media and, I think, he's just sort of gets buried in the news, with just a random hotel suicide kind of thing.

Casinos apparently had the highest suicide rate in LAS Vegas has the high suicide rate in the country. I could see that, if, like you, just lost a bunch of that has some to do that. They said this are all of it, but a lot of people Chopin biggest desperate and destitute in trying to gamble their way back to you know not necessarily prosperity, our man as a sand, teen you just painted yeah but you're joking in the thing about it being in the hotel industry. There was an article called how to properly respond to a guest at than your hotel published in a journal for hotel managers that I found, and they said a big thing in Vegas, as they dont and most big hotels. Now don't, but she just open the windows Now, but a lot of undue her balcony still Vegas they don't even

balconies because of the suicide problem, so they said that led some people to make a final leap like in an atrium saw lobby, and he says in this article that hotel manager should keep a very large. Dark Colored, tarp made of impermeable material on hand in available at all times. Oh, my God, are. You can run out there very quickly and covered that mess up it. So bad only the mess, it's really dangerous. I mean people walk through atrium That's really irresponsible. Yeah. You could land on someone obviously yeah an imagined that would probably kill both people yes I would think so too. In you know we did a nap certain crimes in clean up ninety nine times times out of a hundred. That's what's going on here. If something happened in a hotel room, there's a guy in San Francisco Bay Company called crimes in cleaners that he said that hotel chains or as biggest clients in that suicide cleanups is most of his business. I mean it

it definitely make sense in a very grisly way, like not wanting to put your family through that. But unfortunately your pudding is unwelcome, housekeeper through it, yet the necessary. The good news is that almost everything is is thrown away, that there dislike, pull the sheets, and will you now watch them like this killing his still mostly good? Yet they, like they dont rip up the part of the carpet disdain the kind of get the play basically, sometimes even the dry wall, they get rid of all that the clock, radio, when everything is zero, like if there's a little tiny piece of brain, the inner noticed, sir, on something that the heats up like the electricity man, that'll stink, plus plus it could be handed down. It's obviously haunted, but those are unlike decent hotels that you know even like Conakry, hotel chains, I think, still do a good job yeah that the scary part is, if it happens in a really. Not

great place because there's a red it thread called tales from the front desk. I gotta get on ever had never talk to it to you'll, never door again, you'll, never leave your house. I think, as these are all insider stories of this one guy was like yeah guy die by suicide on my shift the owner found out how much it costs for professional clean up, and he said to flip the mattress No! Yes! Now they ever say where they worked. Now anonymous. I think its prompt. This one was anonymous man. This is just a hotel house cleaner and the other thing to is, I guess we can close with, is when people decide to do this oftentimes. They pick like the best room, the nicest sweet. Now he has to pay for it.

Yeah yeah. That's that's so dont think if you're getting the high rollers we'd that that room is safe from ghosts, something else Chuckie really broad.
