Get it. The Bird Show.

So I have two insane stories that are going to make you so uncomfortable, even though they happen to dead people.

0:09.3

And let me explain. My mother passed away recently and we were scattering her ashes.

0:14.4

Surprisingly, a lot of laws around where you can put human remains. Who knew?

0:19.4

Including notifying the Environmental Protection Agency. Really? You just can't just go anywhere and just like spread them on a football field. Surprisingly no. But with she, her memorial is at the beach and you're not allowed to scatter ashes in the water. You have to go at least, I think it's one nautical mile out to sea. And then then you have to tell the EPA that you did not see burial. I'm guessing 99 out of 100 people don't go through those proper channels. No. And honestly, like human remains are sterile anyway. Like if they're ashes because it's been burned in a fire. So I mean, you're probably good to go. The fish are doing worse things in the water. But it makes me want to ask later, where did you sneak spread ashes? That's good. Because I know people have done it, and I think there's really popular like Fenway or something like that. People will sneak them in a pocket and they'll be in the outfield and they're just like, like throw something out there. But I'm sure there's crazy places where people have sneakily spread the ashes. Yeah, we had crashed in here a couple of days ago that said that he spread that his mom's ashes in on, it's a small world in Disney World. And apparently the haunted mansion is really popular at Disney too. And they call a Code White. So if you hear a Code White being called, it's because it remains clean up, ashes clean up.

1:31.1

Yes, I learned that from my uncle who knows all things.

1:36.6

Yeah, anyway, so my other uncle was talking to me and he was saying when he went to scatter his dad's ashes, it was in the UK.

1:39.6

So imagine like it's a gloomy overcast day.

1:43.6

You're being whipped in the face by like this cold, salty sea air.

1:47.7

They're standing on the edge of the cliff and they're about to scatter him to the sea like one of his favorite places before heading to a pub to go get a drink with the rest of his siblings.

1:56.7

So they scatter the ashes but did not take into account the wind.

2:00.7

So the ashes just flew back in their face all over the bushes around.

2:04.9

And as they went to drink in the pub, they were looking out and it was like snow outside on the bushes.

2:09.7

But it was their dad's ashes.

2:11.1

And they were the only ones who knew that basically their father was all around them instead of being spread out to sea.

2:16.9

He's in some pub in the

2:18.3

UK makes sense he wanted to drink yes but this is where so I laughed I'm like yes okay that's a funny

2:24.5

story and then he tells me this story and so it went from laughable to horrifying because if I were

2:31.7

one of these people and this happened to me like there's no one to sue but

2:35.2

I would think the world hated me so it was a family and they were I guess you can walk across

2:41.1

the golden gate bridge in San Francisco right it's that big iconic red bridge in San Fran you see it in

2:47.0

all the pictures you could walk across it so they decided to scatter the ashes of their like loved one off the side of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is really romantic if you think about it. It's beautiful. It's picturesque. Like, gorgeous place to be put to rest. Except for the fact that there are tour boats. And there was a tour boat going underneath the Golden Gate Bridge. At the same time, these unknowing, they had no idea, these people up top.
