This is the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

More strange deaths. We've talked about this. There's some more details.

I didn't realize that when it happened, we made fun of this for a long time because it was a radio stunt. It went wrong. 2007, a Sacramento radio station, knows of the contest called Hold Your Wee for a Wii, where the participants were challenged to drink as a crap load of water without urinating. The prize in Nintendo Wii. Jennifer Strange, 28, hoped to win the Wii for her kids after chugging nearly two gallons of water and by the way coming in second she didn't win she'd be experiencing severe headaches and nausea symptoms of water intoxication which is actually a thing by yeah she drowned you can Yeah, she drowned. You can't. She came home. She was found dead later on, a wrongful death lawsuit. There was a recording of the show revealed that the DJs joked about people dying from water intoxication, even discussing a case two years earlier where a student died from drinking too much water to attorney stunts. I remember reading about that in radio publications and that medical professionals were calling

these people on the air saying, no, no, this person could die and she did.

And the jury awarded the Strange Family $16.5 million.

Did they get that money?

The radio stage probably had to pay that, yeah, yeah.

Somebody told us he wasn't, but, yeah. Interesting. Listen, that's a hard, I guess you got to check. You know, we used to do some stupid stuff on the show like we don't do it now.

But we used to.

But little stunts and stuff, anything could have went bad. But that one, they were warned. This should kill somebody. You were nice enough to not usually do the really stupid stuff to listeners. You just did it to me. Yeah, we just drips on your nipples and stuff like that. Yeah. Are you still into that? Yeah, you shouldn't die from that.

That should be okay.

No natremia is the name of the term.

You drink too much water and it flashes all the electrolytes out of the system.

The gallon challenge with milk used to be a big thing.

Well, we did that in the show.

We did that.

Right.

Yeah.

And nobody, you can't, you puke. You physically can't do it. But part of that is just because of the amount of liquid that you're taking it.
