What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.

The case of William Moldt shows us that sometimes a mystery has to
wait for technology to catch up.

Here
on the podcast we’ve several episodes with guests who have told the
story of being attacked by an animal.

These
include a grizzly bear, a monkey, a shark, a rattlesnake, a tiger, a
pair of dogs, an alligator, and a swarm of yellow jackets. But we
haven’t yet had a story about a hippo attack.

Until
today.

My
guest today is Honor. She was traveling throughout Africa and she
learned about the list of animals in Africa that cause the most
fatalities. Hippos are number TWO on that list, and number one may
surprise you. She told me what it was in our conversation.

Hippos
look like they would just want to roll over and scratch their belly.
But don’t be fooled. They are extremely territorial, and can get
very angry. And, as Honor saw first-hand, they are also quite fast.

If
you’d like to contact Honor, she’s in the Facebook group -

Sometimes,
there comes a moment in your life when everything changes.

You
might have a little warning ahead of time, or it might come as a
complete surprise. It might be a surprise that makes your whole life
better, or it could be news that’s devastating. We never know –
that’s just how life works.

Justin
had a moment like that. He was adopted the day after he was born, so
he never knew his birth mother. He had a wonderful childhood, and he
loves his family, but he always wondered about the woman who actually
gave birth to him.

Then,
that moment came – they found each other.

Justin
told this story on the podcast more than 7 years ago. And one of the
things that I love about this episode is a surprise I had for him
during our conversation. You’ll hear it right after the second ad
break. I hope you love this story as much as I do.

I
wonder if this ever happens to you.

Maybe
you’re visiting someone and you’re staying overnight. Or you’re
on a trip and you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb. And that
first time you wake up, you have a brief few seconds where you’re a
little disoriented. Like, “Hey, where am I? This is not my bedroom.
This is not my bed”. But then it comes back to you – oh yeah, I’m
away from home right now.

I
would think it would be even worse if you woke up and realized you’re
in a hospital bed.

For
the podcast, I typically don’t do stories that are mainly centered
around the guest being in a coma. It’s an interesting concept for
sure, but just the fact that someone was in a coma would make for a
difficult episode. I mean, how can you tell a detailed story when you
were asleep for most of it?

Today
we’re going to hear from Scott. He was in a coma for a while. And
then he had that experience of trying to figure out “why am I in a
hospital...what is going on”. But his story is not really about him
being in a coma.

It’s
about what the doctor told him when he woke up.
