Man Hibernates for 25 Years

some dude hibernated every winter for 25. years let's talk about that good. mythical morning happy Memorial Day to. all you Americans out there and thank. you to everyone for joining us today. okay you know we do for you we find. weird stuff and then we tell you about. it and then you can do whatever you want. to with it you want to talk about it. next a little water cooler or the locker.

or at a park or outside of the car or. wherever so you seem like a person who. knows weird stuff or in a tunnel do. whatever you want to just do it. responsibly and give us a little bit of. credit like I came up with this but you. should also watch good mythical morning. okay I want to tell you about Arthur. turkey jerky here is toasting us all. he's he's a he's a happy lookin fella. okay why are we talking about this guy. okay turkey jerky. started in 1913 hibernating hibernating.

now I have never he was 30 years alert. of this okay I've never heard of Turkey. McGurk II I've never heard you Gorky. there's no McGuirk II I've never I have. never heard of a human being hibernating. well you have now so it's all about a. change that's all changing right now. link so he would go to sleep and like. what in hovers over November okay for 25. years starting when he was 30 so we're. already a little bit behind we can't do.

this now and unless we live longer than. he did he started in 1913 when he's 30. years old he did it for 25 years he. would hibernate from November to April. through the winter my friend okay what. what lots of questions begin forming in. your mind when you hear about a human. hibernation let's just talk a little bit. about hibernate like why how and how and. why okay so first of all hibernation is. a state of inactivity in the metabolic. depression hibernation is characterized.

by low body temperature slow breathing. and heart rate and low metabolic rate so. and bears do it just that we all know. this is my Bitcoin bears do it humans. don't do it okay okay well. mayors are not the only animals that. hibernate okay but you do know everybody. knows is this is a little cliche at this. point bears yes they do hyper they do. hibernate but they eat a whole lot of. food yeah get fat get fat and then they. go and they just get knocked out for an.

extended period of time. now they're not the only and they. basically live off the fat deposits. during that time now they're not the. only animals that do this I learned this. in my research one primate actually is. known for regularly hibernating it's the. fat-tailed dwarf lemur oh the fatty. tailed dwarf if they got that fat tail. you can just sit there and I guess. siphon off of it all winter while you. hibernate is that really where bears of. course one bird the common poor will the. common poor will is like hey you know.

what I'm gonna be the only bird in. hibernates squirrels hibernate not tree. squirrels ground squirrels ah ground. squirrels that little monks and. stuff like that the run-around say. hibernate yeah they'll fall asleep in. there rodents not rats but some rodents. european hedgehog butterflies what. insectivore some insectivores some. monotremes and some marsupials also. hydrate so it's it's it's a kind of a. common practice out there in the animal. kingdom but you didn't put humans on the. list and when bears hibernate I've often.

wondered about this since we're on the. subject do they poop and pee do they use. the bathroom while they're sleeping do. they and and do the do the moms have. babies while sleeping and stuff I think. all of this happens in there they stay. asleep right I'm glad you asked that. link because I have the answer okay so. some animals do get up to do the poopin. in the peen while they hibernate but. bears and I guess some other species but. definitely bears eat a combination of.

moss and dirt to plug themselves up put. a cork in there and they don't do they. eat it a biggest fashion one and I don't. think it's I don't think it goes in that. way not like a wide a chordate they know. is that all book who Elmo got all the. fat deposits now I gotta eat some moss. and some dirt and then create a plug it. seems like you would do it the opposite. way you need to Martian dirt. to Cork and they need all the things to. make the fact I don't exactly know but.

it turns into fat it doesn't just it's. not oh so food is sitting in their. stomach they get a bunch of fat and then. they put the plug in and they don't get. up to poop and pee. they actually sleep a little bit lighter. than a lot of people know they can kind. of get up and do a lot of things if they. have to but they don't poop and pee and. they all are also known to actually have. baby sometimes it's several species I. was right about that will have babies. while hibernating and the mom will wake. up Millie. that was easy junior slept right through. that there is you know. so anyway is that what happened or can.

that happen with humans well maybe. Swedish no more snowmobilers guys who. ride snowmobiles in Sweden somewhat upon. a guy who had been trapped under the. snow in his car for two months with. hardly any food and a doctor who. examined this guy figured out that the. guy is alive he lived he had lowered his. body temperature to 88 degrees. Fahrenheit so a good 10 degrees down. from where it should have been and his. whole metabolism had slowed down he. basically it entered a hibernating boom. in US and when you sleep you take your.

oxygen intake down about 6% but Harvard. Medical School professor Herbert Benson. has studied Tibetan monks who can. meditate and bring their oxygen down 64. percent. so these dudes can basically just. through meditation induce kind of a. hibernating state so they can also do. the opposite and make snorer on a mouse. yeah I've heard that - link now is this. what was happening with Turkey well. before we answer that why did he do it.

why did he hire it turns out he suffered. some sort of illness some liver illness. related to some shock I I can't if I. can't find it in the in the writings. about exactly what he suffered but the. dude suffered a crazy event and then he. had a liver illness as a result of it. and he stayed in bed for a really long. time and he felt better and he's like. you know what every winter I'm gonna do. this cuz it makes me feel better he. started doing it he did it for 25 years. until he died November day in his sleep. oh the way he died in his sleep.

okay well chances are I hate to burst. your bubble but Turkey was not a Tibetan. monk and he was not he didn't eat moss. and. and plug his butt up he did not do this. he was a large man that had many fat. deposits that he could draw on and he. did that a little bit but he actually. would just get in bed and stay in bed. from November to April and he would get. up and to use the potty to use the potty. and that's what he said he said I got to.

get up and use the potty and his wife. who somehow was able to put up with this. brought him two sandwiches and a glass. of milk every single day he ate one meal. he was like maybe I'm up better relieve. myself in a couple of ways giving my. sandwiches and my milk and then he would. go back and he would lay down and he did. this for that many months and what was. his job I mean he was a tavern owner. oh he owned a bar so what he would do is. he would let the guy that was working. for him man the tavern and he would get. his wife to do everything else I mean. what a woman that was willing to put up.

with this guy's like you know sometimes. I'm like I want to take a nap and the. like okay you know I you know I lose a. little bit when I went I had to take. that nap this guy takes a hibernates. for months on it I mean it so it's not. technically hibernation but it's still. absolutely amazing and probably sad a. little bit said he there was a fire in. the house next door to him one time he. didn't get up there was a bet one time. and wake up a guy said no he just didn't. get out of bed he's like how would I.

help with a fire to fight what the fire. department's for I don't know why I. think he talked like this but a man who. chooses to hibernate oh he can talk. about and he actually there was a bet. the one of his friends made with him on. New Year's Eve one year that they said I. bet you won't make it to our New Year's. Eve party and they bet him 25 bucks and. he was like okay and he got up and he. went to the party so he wasn't that. committed to the hibernation but it was. so he was so committed to it that he. basically has become the reason we know. about this is because there was all. these newspaper articles written about. the guy he was like a natural wonder.

with people like hey can we go see. Turkey can we go look in the window and. see Turkey and he's sleeping it out well. you know because he's the man who was. hibernating. did he outlive his wife and no that's. the other time that he got up his wife. died and so he got up to handle her face. Oh help her give very good stuff so he. you know he was able to get him I mean. she the woman dies while the dudes. hibernating. what kind of marriage is this but anyway. we're talking about him on good mythical. morning so it's gotta count for. something. here's the you turkey and half of your.
