Summary

🎁 On the third day of Faves-Mas TSFU gave to me... Ep. 48 - Mystery Island: Metal Dentures, Mayhem and Murder (with Cam, Apr 2021)

Ash and Cam talk about the nuts-o shenanigans that went down on the Galapagos island of Floreana in the early 1930s!

Ash covers nudist, Nietzsche obsessed, metal denture sharing, German couple Dr. Friedrich Ritter and his younger lover Dore Strauch, and what happened on the small, desolate island of Floreana shortly after their arrival. Arriving to a deserted and barren island, the pair quickly became internationally known as "the modern day Adam and Eve". They were enjoying their privacy until two unwanted parties arrived: the Wittmers, a German family of four, and a gunslinging, self-proclaimed Austrian Baroness, accompanied by her two adoring lovers/servants who, at her behest, battled daily for her affection. Everyone hated each other and madness ensued.

On the second year of the podcast, yes, you gave to me, metal dentures insanity.

0:10.2

Okay, y'all, day three is pure nostalgia.

0:14.9

This is quite possibly my all-time favorite story that we've ever covered on the podcast, a saga so wild that it includes,

0:24.7

yes, as I said, metal dentures, island conspiracies, and the exact brand of unhinged energy

0:31.4

that TSFU is built on. The 2024 movie Eden reignited my obsession with this case. It's pure random chaos and I still love it so fucking much.

So before they leave, apparently I'm not sure which one is true,

but either Ritter wanted to see if his gums would toughen up in the wilderness,

or obsessive mastication, which is just like obsessive chewing.

1:01.3

No, like obsessive chewing.

1:03.2

Destroyed his teeth.

1:04.7

Either way, he pulled out all of his teeth before they left.

1:10.1

No.

1:12.1

So he crafted himself a pair of homemade steel dentures.

1:20.1

Shut the ever-loving fuck up.

1:22.8

Unfortunately, he didn't pull Dora's teeth out, so they later rotted on the island, and he pulled them out there with garden tools, and then they shared the metal dentures.

1:33.8

What?

1:35.7

That is so fucked up.

1:38.8

It's fucked up.

1:40.7

So fucked up.

1:43.7

It is just so damn fucked up. It is just so damn fucked up.

1:50.3

That's fucked up.

1:53.7

I'm here.
