The Strange Life of Tycho Brahe
The name Tycho Brahe may not ring immediate bells for most people, but his story stands as perhaps the most fascinating fusion of scientific brilliance and outrageous eccentricity in history. This Danish nobleman-turned-astronomer lived a life so colorful and bizarre that it defies modern imagination.
What makes Brahe truly unforgettable wasn't just his scientific achievements—which were substantial—but his outrageous lifestyle. From a pet moose with a taste for beer and a psychic dwarf jester named Jepp, Tycho Brahe had a fascinating life and death.
Listen now to discover why Tycho Brahe deserves to be remembered as not just a scientific pioneer, but perhaps the most colorful character in the history of science.

Didn't the moose have a penchant for whiskey or drinking?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he used to get into Tycho Brahe's beer. He really had a taste for beer, the moose was a drunk. The moose was a drunk and drank a lot. The moose is loose To the point where, one day, one fateful day, he drank too much beer, got drunk, fell down the stairs and died, and that was how the moose met its end.
Speaker 3:Okay, that's a tragedy, but one. Okay. There's two things we need to at least start with here. How big was this flight of fucking stairs that the moose falls on Because? It's a massive staircase, one, two. Can you imagine the fucking noise that made Moose falling down the fucking stairs? Dude, I've heard a cat at two o'clock in the morning like fall off the counter and it sounds like the goddamn house exploded. A fucking moose falling down the stairs, christ.

All content is editorial, opinion-based and intended for entertainment purposes only. Listener discretion is advised. Welcome back to the Black Curtain Club. I'm Angie and tonight we're diving into the wild and weird world of Tycho Brahe, who is a brilliant astronomer with a flair for the dramatic, a metal nose and some really really strange habits. So joining tonight is a good friend of mine and I will say, west Virginia trivia champion, scott Barber. Scott, how are you? Do you want to introduce yourself? Say a few words.
Speaker 2:Sure, yeah Again. Scott Barber. I'm also a native West Virginian, like Angie, is. She and I have known each other since we'll say a long time. Yeah. Just some of the things that I'm known for is I'm a bit of a trivia geek. I know a lot of. I'm not a good trivia player, but I know a lot of people who are really good trivia players. So I get to hang around those people and kind of ride their coattails onto bigger and better successes and whatnot.
Speaker 3:Didn't you just say you were like the number one trivia person in your state?
Speaker 2:Well, I've been on like team trivia. Yeah, I have just won my eighth team trivia state title a couple weekends ago. But again, team is the key there. So I just basically just sit around and nod and say, yeah, it sounds like a good answer whenever someone actually puts the right answer out there and then on we go. And then I get to say at the end, oh yeah, I won a bunch of stuff when actually not so much Fair Same. But I like writing trivia questions. So I've written a few trivia questions professionally. I wrote for a couple of board games that have been published and just, yeah, big trivia geek and like going down rabbit holes on various topics, kind of like the one we're going to be talking about today. Thank you both for having me on. I really appreciate the invite and super, super excited to be here.
Speaker 1:I'm happy to have you here tonight too, because, I mean, this has been like I don't even know how many years, but I remember you taking me down this rabbit hole of Tycho Brahe and I have never forgotten this guy, ever since, like it was two hours of absolute mayhem of a conversation about this guy. So, and I know, kyle, you are a fan of history as well and you've done a little bit of a rabbit hole on him. So let's just take it and tell me the story of Tycho Scott. I'll let you open it up, sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no again. This is one of those stories that we've talked about in the past and it's just one of those figures in history that I don't understand how he's not more popular, given that there's so much lore about him historically, and I don't know how someone with such an interesting past hasn't become a household name even today, but nevertheless so. Tycho Brahe also called Tycho Tycho Brahe or Bra, but I like to call him Tycho Brahe, whatever, but just an interesting guy, because he was a Danish astronomer who was influential to Galileo, was a contemporary to Johannes Kepler, galileo was a contemporary to Johannes Kepler. And I mean, these are names that we know, but we don't know Tycho Brahe. And again, puzzles me as to why, but it started out in 1546. Picture it Denmark 1546.
Speaker 3:So Denmark 1546.
Speaker 2:So 1546, tycho Brahe is born to a pair of Danish nobles, and around the age of two, his life even starts out interesting because he's two years old and his uncle just decides oh, I never had a male heir and I really want one, so I think I'm just going to go kidnap my nephew and raise him as my son. And he does Jesus. Classic, classic, yeah, I mean, yeah, tale as old as time. So Tycho Brahe's uncle literally kidnaps him and raises him his own, and the craziest part about that story is that his parents were like oh my God, our son. His uncle just kidnapped him and took him away. And then we're just kind of like you know what? It's probably for the best, that's okay, and he'll be, he'll have a good list there, it'll be all right. They didn't really pursue him. They just like, ah, he'll be okay there, he'll be treated well there with the what do you expect?
Speaker 3:It's 1500s, denmark, shit happens.
Speaker 2:Crazy Danish uncle's just going to be like, yeah, okay, that's, that's cool, but yeah it's. Yeah, jorgen Brahe was the uncle's name. Who yeah?
Speaker 1:Jorgen, oh my.
Speaker 2:God, yeah, jorgen Brahe. I mean, these are straight out of central casting with these names, right, jorgen Brahe, tycho Brahe, but yeah, so the one kicker about Jorgen is is Jorgen actually had a lot of money, so extremely wealthy person, and he ends up paying for all of Tycho's schooling and whatnot and his uncle father whatever you want to call him Jorgen. So uncle dad says, hey, let's maybe lean into the law or something, and over time he really want to study astronomy Again, very new science. This is before the telescope had even been invented yet. But he was interested in astronomy and that's kind of the way he went. So he was very good at natural sciences, mathematics. These are things that really interested him. Fucking nerd, yeah, exactly Right, we don't like nerds. What's wrong? What's what's? What's going on with these?
Speaker 1:nerds Every family has a weird one.
Speaker 2:Hey, and if they don't, it's you. I hate to break it to you. Yeah, so whenever he went to school around age 20, he gets into an argument with one of his classmates, and over of all things, math oh, an argument over which one was right at math. So they decided to settle it the way that most people settle math debates with a duel Sounds about right. That's right settle math debates with a duel.
Speaker 3:Sounds about right. Yeah, right, because that's what she did. It is mathematic, because you got to count the steps and then you got to do the angles and the trajectory and triangles and shit. There's math in it.
Speaker 2:It's all the geometry. It's right there.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But so they decide to have a sword duel to battle this thing out because it got that serious. And in the process of the duel, tycho Brahe ends up losing the duel. But not only losing the duel his opponent literally cut his nose off of his face. Exactly Right. No more nose, right.
Speaker 3:Got your nose that joke was invented.
Speaker 1:Got your nose, got your nose.
Speaker 2:So, for the rest of his life. Again, he had means because of Uncle Father's money Uncle Father's money but because of that he was able to craft prosthetic noses out of silver and gold and brass and whatnot. And so he'd just wear like a metal nose on his face as a prosthetic. And they said that whenever he'd like get angry at people he'd take his nose off his face, clean the snot out of it and throw it at people, just kind of.
Speaker 3:Well, you know what Good for him. At least he cleaned the snot out of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Good for him. You know what that's class Chucking it.
Speaker 2:I bet you know it might be a little far, but Is that where the term snot nose brat came out of? Maybe? Yeah, that's exactly right, you snot nose tycho, so so yeah, so imagine and imagine this is like. Again, this isn't current times, this is in the 15 and 60s, right? Imagine how bad a prosthetic nose has to fit like a prosthetic nose wouldn't work today. Think of how bad a prosthetic nose would be in like 1566, oh and metal and stuck to your face oh yeah, that's just all of it's terrible, right, it's just yeah, yeah all of it's bad.
Speaker 2:There's none of this, none of us.
Speaker 3:You can't sell this. There's no good here, right.
Speaker 2:Right, there's nothing good there, right. But one thing he did have going for again, jorgen the uncle father, that he had had a lot of money. And after his death, and after his actual father's death, tycho Brahe inherited both of their estates Right, both of their estates Right. And when I say that this guy had money, I mean he had like richy rich money. He had like Bruce Wayne money. He had.
Speaker 3:It was estimated that his entire net worth after both of these inheritances came in was equal to 1% of all of the money in all of Denmark. So Jesus yeah, money.
Speaker 2:Yeah, money, right. I mean you lose your nose, but you have 1% of the country's economy in your back pocket. I don't know if that's still a good trade, but the money does help, right.
Speaker 3:If I had the equivalent to 1% of the US's money. Yeah, fuck the nose, you can have my nose.
Speaker 2:I'd at least consider it. It's one of those where I'd be like maybe you know I'm at least hearing you out.
Speaker 3:At the bare minimum I'm hearing you out.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent, right. But one of the ways that Jorgen was able to get some of his money is because he was close to the king of Denmark, frederick II's life when he saved him from drowning but ends up dying in the process because he catches pneumonia and dies. So even though he lost Uncle Father Jorgen and his real father passed too, he still has tight ties to the royal family, right, yeah? So he ends up going into astronomy and because of his skill being able to navigate the stars and figure out things that had never been understood before, he sort of becomes a real popular figure in Denmark. Discovered a supernova this was in 1572. He discovers a supernova and with his studies of the supernova he's able to tear apart Aristotle's unchanging cosmos theory. So where Aristotle thought that the sky was a fixed sky, he was able to say, okay, no, actually there's something going on here. We're spinning, yes, but the entire solar system is spinning, all of space. It's not a set sky as we previously thought, and his studies with the supernova was able to prove that. So he's kind of like a rock star when it comes to astronomy in these times. So a lot of different countries were offering to bring him into their country to study astronomy, teach astronomy, do the work for them instead of other areas.
Speaker 2:But King of Denmark, again, close ties the Isle of Wien, right, and there is where he built a castle and an observatory. Urenburg is the name of the castle that he built. Builds that in around 1576. And that is where he pretty much started the idea of work hard, play hard, right, because even though he was doing a lot of really heady stuff, he was also, you know, kind of a maniac. He would have these elaborate crazy parties. He was known for elaborate drinking and one of the things that was a little unusual about him is he had a pet moose that he kept in the castle Right, like not a dog, not a badger, a moose Right.
Speaker 3:Moose are not small.
Speaker 2:No, they're not small.
Speaker 3:Moose are not small. For those of you who don't know, mooses is big as shit. It's huge.
Speaker 1:And they're not sweet animals, they're fucking asshole. Yeah, yeah, they're not. They're fucking assholes, yeah.
Speaker 2:But this thing would be at all of the parties that Tycho Brahe would throw and everybody's just like oh okay, there's the moose. I just knew he had a moose in the castle Right.
Speaker 1:Didn't the moose have a penchant for whiskey or drinking or something?
Speaker 2:Yep, you're leading me right down to my next point. Yeah, he used to get into Tycho Brahe's beer. He really he had a taste for beer.
Speaker 3:The moose was a drunk the moose was a drunk and drank a lot.
Speaker 2:The moose is loose To the point where, one day one fateful day he drank too much beer. Beer got drunk, fell down the stairs and died, and that was that was how the moose met his end. Okay, that's a tragedy, but one.
Speaker 3:Okay. There's two things we need to at least start with here. How big was this flight of fucking stairs that the moose falls down, because, like my parents house is 13 stairs, and like the flight of moose is fucking clearing that, it's like what? Just a little trip in that.
Speaker 2:But just this giant tumble. Keep in mind, exactly so like that's a massive staircase, one, two.
Speaker 3:Can you imagine the fucking noise that made? Falling down the fucking stairs, dude? I've heard a cat at two o'clock in the morning like fall off the counter and it sounds like the goddamn house exploded. A fucking moose falling down the stairs.
Speaker 2:Christ, I want to know if he ate him. That's the thing I was always curious about.
Speaker 3:I'd be shocked if he didn't Be like. You know what I want to know if he ate him. That's the thing I was always curious about.
Speaker 2:I'd be shocked if he didn't. I'd be like you know what I hate to see him go, but I hate to put the good meat to waste. You know, it's not like I can run down to the local Kroger and pick up a couple of ribeyes. I've got a big ass moose here that I can just take probably about 500 pounds of meat off of.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was already marinated in beer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it had a beer brine in it. You know what Exactly.
Speaker 3:He took them outside to the spit and tenderized. They had tenderized. They had, and thus this man was a trendsetter too. Beer-canned chicken he had. Beer can mousse.
Speaker 2:Exactly Delicious, but yeah so.
Speaker 1:I got choked on that one Beer can mousse, sorry, All right, go ahead proceed.
Speaker 2:No, just I mean again, uh, taiko brahe, massive partier and another eccentricity.
Speaker 1:We'll call it uh that he is this where you're gonna talk about jeff?
Speaker 2:yeah, this is exactly where I'm gonna talk about, jeff, okay yeah yeah, yeah t Jep is my favorite. Tico Brahe had a companion named Jep that lived with him in the castle, and Jep You're being very liberal and nice by saying companion. Well, I'm explaining, I'm explaining the companion.
Speaker 3:Okay, so Jep's companion, or sorry, tico bryce companion jip was a dwarf jester yeah, jester, of course yeah, of course, because the man who owns a moose that he would get drunk with fucking natty ice. Why wouldn't he have a midget jester? Yeah, exactly a descendant of brad williams, I believe.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so he keeps this jester around for exactly A descendant of Brad Williams, I believe. Yeah, so he keeps this jester around for the jokes and tricks and stuff. He made him sit under the table during meals.
Speaker 3:So, just stand there.
Speaker 2:Just to hang out, I think.
Speaker 3:Just as a gag Just stand there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but the coolest thing about Jeb is Tico Brahe honestly, like in his bones, thought that he was a psychic and had precognitive abilities.
Speaker 3:He thought he was or Jeb was.
Speaker 2:He thought Jeb had psychic and precognitive abilities.
Speaker 3:That's fucking awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he thought he had a psychic jester dwarf named Jep that just lived with him, right? I mean, imagine like. I just imagine, like Ricardo Montalban and Tattoo, you know, with the matching suits, these guys.
Speaker 3:The moose.
Speaker 2:The moose, boss the moose. The moose boss, the moose, the moose boss, the moose, the moose boss, the moose. He fall the floor, he gone. The moose he fly, he fall the moose, he dead. Imagine if he made, imagine if he made jeff try to carry the moose out after he was like this man, oh hey, hey, jeff, clean up on all four, buddy. How about we, how about we get this moose out of here?
Speaker 3:this man has no nose. It's gold. He would clean it out and throw it at people. He owned, arguably, one of the largest land animals and the smallest version of a human.
Speaker 1:It's great. And the thing is, no one told Jep that he was just a companion, because I'm pretty sure Jep from Jep's point of view he was a captive prisoner.
Speaker 2:He was like I'm a slave to this guy. He just kidnapped him.
Speaker 3:He goes like why are you taking me? Listen, my uncle, father, brother did this. You'll be okay. Look at me, I'm fine.
Speaker 2:I have all the money, kid. Do you not know that I could buy like a thousand of you guys?
Speaker 1:Oh God yeah.
Speaker 2:So so, jep, yeah, the the again I'm. I just have this mental image of him trying to carry the moose out, kind of like the uh uh dwarf in Bad Santa trying to pick Billy Bob Thornton up after he's drunk, you know.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, so if memory serves me, he also was quite a ladies' man.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, wasn't he?
Speaker 1:like fucking a queen or something. Yeah.
Speaker 2:There was rumors that he had an affair with Frederick II's wife. That was one of the prevailing rumors over the years, and I mean that may be the most fascinating thing about TC Brahe is that is you know, imagine he's Tony Stark, but for the 1500s Right, but for the 1500s right, but at the same time do you know how much game you have to have to seduce a queen when you've got a metal nose, like if it was?
Speaker 3:gold, like if it was gold probably not any at all he was just like hey, check this out yeah but she's still a queen, though like a literal queen, it's 1500 people slept with like if they had it. They literally pissed and shat in a pot in their room. I think you're giving.
Speaker 2:I think you're giving the royals, the queen of Denmark, I mean that's, that's pretty high. I mean, if she, if she's caught in this, you know they're both dead, but I mean that's some serious riz, though I mean she couldn't get enough.
Speaker 1:She couldn't get enough of him. What I want to know is like, did he keep it on? Like during like did she know what he looked like without it? Like were the? Lights off, like what was the whole? Were the lights up? What you mean?
Speaker 3:the fucking candles out.
Speaker 2:It's 15, whatever the fuck yeah, he's got like a, uh, he's imagine tycho Brahe just has Jep holding a torch over him beside the bed. If that torch lit Jep, I need to see the Queen's City.
Speaker 3:Hold the fucking light over here. I said right here Don't burn her ass.
Speaker 2:What are you doing? Get it back.
Speaker 3:I think you're working on an old, fucking Oldsmobile.
Speaker 1:Hold the fucking light right here. I said Ten goddamn times. I just don't understand the whole setup there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you know I'd have to say you'd have to keep the nose on. I mean, that's got to be a bit of a turn off staring into somebody's skull basically. Yeah, turn off staring into somebody's skull basically like, yeah, wow, miss jeff's over there. Like I've got to get in. I've got to get on linkedin and find a new job you think you got a shitty job.
Speaker 3:Also, just be like that's. He's gotta be careful. He's like motorboating hurry. Do not, because if he just like reads the wrong way instead of like just going, it's just gonna go. Yeah, it's make one of those fart noises like like a raspberry, like right in the middle there.
Speaker 2:He'll go take a breath and he'll just go yeah, oh God, yeah, like I mean that, and on top of it again he's like a super genius. I mean he's probably risen with the tism as well. I mean to be.
Speaker 3:Did you say he's risen with the tism? How, how.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. Risen with the tism, just eat up with it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, how's it going? Your Highness, you like trains. What's a train? I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know but I wish I did. I'd watch them all day.
Speaker 2:All right, go ahead Again. He's got this observatory and castle on his private island and part of that is he uses these things called brass quadrants. Now imagine it's like a big, almost like a protractor that we'd use today, like a quarter of a circle shaped piece of equipment, but it's extremely large. It's like almost the size of a room. And with this piece of then considered technology, he was able to precisely measure where planets and stars were with the precision of like modern day calculations. Some of his calculations were ridiculously precise, like even to today's standards, would be considered extremely precise, and figure that OK, again, a lot of the universe is moving, it's not just our planet, and it's leaning toward the heliocentric model of Copernicus more than anything else. So he's figuring all of this out and coming up with these massive breakthroughs again, all without a nose. Thank you, yes.
Speaker 2:But, also also without telescopes which would come around in the Galilean eras. But so he ends up becoming a contemporary again with Johannes Kepler, because he ends up sort of in a situation where he's wearing out his welcome back in Denmark, so the Holy Roman Emperor decides to send him to Prague, says you can be the official imperial astronomer of Prague. And so he goes to Prague and that's where he meets Johannes Kepler and he and Kepler were kind of like frenemies in a way. They did a lot of really good research together and they did a lot of good work. But Kepler was very open to sharing his information with Tycho Brahe. Brahe did not do that with Johannes Kepler. He hoarded almost all of his research right. So he keeps all of the information away and because of that when he eventually died they say it advanced astronomy even further, because they could actually get to the information that he left behind where before he gatekept it.
Speaker 3:Basically, right, what a fuckboy.
Speaker 2:So at the end of his life.
Speaker 1:He was hoisted by his own petard.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hoisted by his own petard. Damn guy, you can't use that word anymore.
Speaker 3:It's not right Stop.
Speaker 2:So toward the end of his life he actually dies of a burst of bladder, and the reason is the stupidest reason of all right?
Speaker 3:Well, it's like the stupidest way to die. So, yeah, it better be a stupid reason. Well, it's a little stupider than that.
Speaker 2:So, 1601, he's at a royal banquet and he has to go to the bathroom because he's drank like a fiend, like he usually does, but because of keeping up appearances and, you know, saving face and all that jazz, he doesn't go. What's left?
Speaker 1:of it yeah, saving face.
Speaker 2:That's why he's got to save it, yeah, so so he's, he won't go to the bathroom because he felt like getting up and leaving even just enough to go to the bathroom would be considered rude. So because of that, he ends up getting the bladder infection and his bladder ruptures and he dies Again the stupidest way to die out of pride.
Speaker 3:That's such a gangster life. That's how you get it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's how you go out.
Speaker 3:Should have known, shoulda fucking known.
Speaker 2:But in recent years they've exhumed Tycho Brahe and it turns out that they found a lot of mercury in his remains. Oh yeah, so they think that he was actually poisoned by either the, the new king, who, after Frederick II died, his son took over and he was like, hey, I think this guy's stupid. My mom, so I stupid.
Speaker 3:So I think I'm going to you know.
Speaker 2:I think I'm going to kill him, but I'm going to keep it secret. So it was either him or some people even believe Johannes Kepler poisoned him with mercury just to get him out of the way, so he could get to his damn notes, right. So, either way, it is now believed that he was killed from mercury poison.
Speaker 3:Huh, did they know mercury was poisonous back then?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. Still a lot of mystery shrouded in the way they died, as opposed to what they originally thought, with just the bladder bursting on its own.
Speaker 3:But remember, it's not how you die, it's how you lived, how you'll be remembered. Yeah, owning mooses and midgets.
Speaker 2:Owning mooses or chuck themselves down the stairs drunkenly, having psychic dwarves running around the place.
Speaker 1:So I did a deep dive not too long it's been a few months ago because I was thinking about this whole thing and no one really knows what happened to jeff. I was curious, I was like well, and so I I think what? What I read was that they believe that he fled his captivity and pretty much served the rest of his life in like traveling shows, or he just fell into the confinement of, you know, someone else but, no one knows what happened to jeb man, poor jeb, he might still be running around in his days.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I told you, we now know him as peter dinklage, yeah but yeah, hell of a story, great life. I mean again, how do we not like have entire series based around this guy, this? Pretty sure I know why he was batshit insane, yeah, but so cool doing it, though I mean like he was interesting, right, like most interesting guy in the 1500s most interesting, that's who you should have had.
Speaker 3:for fucking Dos Equis, you should have had this guy. I don't always drink beer because my moose drinks it all on me.
Speaker 2:Just pay him in Dos Equis. He'd be like all right, you got enough for a moose, Because I got another one.
Speaker 3:I got a moose load. That's a weird unit of measurement. You have no idea.
Speaker 1:It's accurate.
Speaker 2:That's a weird intervention. I need a moose load for my loaded moose is what I need it for.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I said for this. What's this? Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat. Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat. It's a flask. Oops, wrong hat.
Speaker 1:It's a flask oh. Wrong hat. Yes, it's a flask oh.
Speaker 3:God, I'm just an embolic doing fucking keg stands now. Oh, that trick never works.
Speaker 1:Well, I think we're just about at time, so we're going to wrap this up. Thank you so much, scott, for coming to our little corner of the Internet and sharing this story of Tycho Brahe, the weirdest man I've ever read about. Thank you so much for listening to Black Curtain Club We've really enjoyed having Scott here. Curtain Club We've really enjoyed having Scott here. Please make sure that, if you are enjoying this podcast, that you leave us ratings and find us on social media. Thanks again and we'll see you next week.
Speaker 2:Going down another rabbit hole. That's how I found out that George Washington actually died. He was outside, caught a sore throat, and the doctor's literally like, okay, well, we need to bleed him out and get the bad blood out of him, and it killed him.
Speaker 1:Oh, the way you paused there it was was like. This is how I found out george washington died. Well, I wanted to say, like I know you have a big brain, but if you're just now finding out george washington was dead what and made a memorial to him I think you need to give your Mensa card back.
Speaker 2:No, when George Washington died it was because he had a sore throat and it was like OK, well, let's get all the blood out of you. And I was like, no, that's like the exact opposite of what you need to do. And, sure enough, three days later he's dead. Also fun fact about George Washington he was terrified of being buried alive. So he in his will said you'll leave me out for three days to make sure I'm dead before you do anything to me yeah, he's another one for history that we all just kind of sweep a lot of his shit under the rug like this guy, we just sweep all of them under the rug, but we sweep a lot of shit about like washington has got to be the closest thing we had to our own dispute, and like Like that man was off the fucking rails.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's wearing other people's teeth in his mouth.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just insane stuff about Washington.
Speaker 3:Wasn't like the top jaw, like all the ones in his top teeth were like horse teeth also. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Something like that Allegedly Giant teeth. Yeah, he definitely had just a fucked up grill.
Speaker 3:But at least he had a nose. But he did have a nose.
