    Shane: You’re a doctor! Ryan: 😃 Shane: You’ve just murdered someone! Ryan: 😔
  • @afoss7445
    Me knowing the actor is harrison ford: this doesnt sound like the plot of Indiana Jones
  • @Carbonite003
    Dude went from being married and being a neurosurgeon to losing a wife to marrying a relative of Goebells to losing his license and then becoming a wrestler All in 46 years
  • @lilacpen8678
    To be fair, if I was knocked out cold twice within, what, an hour? Less? I don't think I'd be able to give a much more detailed description than "white, bushy hair."
  • @LEVENEGRANT3
    "Hello, is this 911? The devil is here, send God." If laughter could kill me, I'd end up in one of their videos..
  • @okthen623
    "The Devil is here, send God!" is such a raw line to be delivered by Shane making fun of Ryan's fear of everything
  • @alcooks1051
    I'm just proud of Marilyn for refusing to go down without a fight. Like I know she was fighting for her life, but how many times have you heard of a murder victim who fought so hard she broke her teeth biting her attacker?
  • @mikajoseph623
    my mother was watching over my shoulder, looked at Shane and said "what a lovely alien looking man, he looks like a praying mantis"
  • @paperxpens5508
    I love how our boys are really leaning into that "cool male history teacher" vibe
  • @jimsladepoe
    Dr Sam had several ounces of sand in his pockets when he was unclothed at Bay View hospital. His temperature was so low that 2 thermometers couldn't get a reading. His skin was completely clammy and clothing was soaked. He was shaking so badly that x-rays could not be taken without changing the aperture of the machine. He was incontinent with a swollen face and several loose teeth amongst his other injuries. Some of his reflexes were missing, caused by nerve damage from the blow to the back of the neck. Shame on Dr Samuel Gerber (Cuyahoga County coroner) and Louis Benson Seltzer (Cleveland Press editor) for railroading this man and essentially his family.
  • F. Lee Bailey’s story is basically: ‘Does feminine jealousy lead to murder? We asked a man!’
  • @Sjchut3r
    Ryan last week: “Does hair grow through the skull??” Ryan this week: a doctor #postmortem
  • @ari-cuno3834
    "Inspiration for a Block buster" Shane: "Jurassic Park?"
  • @Emmsies_OuO
    Petition to name the disposal of a corpse by being randomly shoved out of a plane to land wherever: "The D.B. Cooper Special"
  • Had his wife murdered, missed out on his son's childhood, spent a decade in prison, finally got out, lost his job and got divorced, resorted to alcohol, and eventually died a miserable death. Even if he did some highly questionable things like adultery, no one deserves a life like that. I can't help but feel bad
  • They've traded places. Shane's hair is impeccable. Ryan looks like he's just been blown off of Goatman's bridge.
  • @evie3190
    Satan its self could crawl out of hell, look Shane in the eye, and Shane would be like “this is one strong breeze huh”
  • @zoey.berlynn
    Ryan: “didn’t you say you wanted your body to be left in a field ?” Shane: (defensively, offended) “it’s called a sky burial- and I want the vultures to eat me. 😤😡”
