2:33 you did it's a party it's a party mix of people how'd you get caught well yeah at least here it says instead of cremating the bodies court records show her body broke her company harvested their parts then sold them mostly for surgical training other educational purpose has been scheduled to go on trial in three weeks along with her mother shirley who was also previously uh pleaded not guilty but i guess she wasn't accomplished something like that uh heard change blah blah blah information information uh after the assistant u.s attorney jeremy chafin made his sentencing recommendation the lawyer for hess urged a lighter sentence of about two years in prison for this and uh has been free on bond since her arrest i guess there's a body shortage out there huh schools need cadavers dude do you think this chick's just firing up duralogs and just taking that ████ out of there yeah
3:23 do you think do you think she's like firing up the ones that like smell like kfc i've lit one of those it actually really does smell like kfc it really smells like yeah it smells like the ████ 11 spices so you just get hungry when you're roasting marshmallows and ████ for chicken kind of ████ up because it's like it's it's an artificial smell for sure but it smells like ████ kfc bro that's why i think we're in a ████ simulation so they have lemon meringue pie candles now and it smells exactly like it those candles are pretty legit they have cinnamon toast crunch sprinkles have you seen that and you can get twix sprinkles so you could get like uh if you want cinnamon toast crunch to flavor and like let's say you bake some sugar cookies or whatever oatmeal you can get that and sprinkle it on now where did you find them how do they lock in these flavors bro that's what i'm saying they're just take it they're using their shrink rate shrinking them down putting it in a plate that's what it is
4:14 it's so smart yeah shrink rays are cool except for when you get in there with the fly oh if it happens to your kids dude that's bad there's bad news bears right there that would never happen yeah that's right yeah i saw it in a documentary we got to be careful for that documentary in 3d no no selling organs such as hearts kidneys and tendons for transplant is illegal in the united states but the sale of cadavers and body parts for use in research or education which is what hess did is not regulated by federal law really oh so few state laws provide any regulation and almost anyone regardless of expertise can dissect and sell human body parts dude it's an open market letter free dude that's called adam smith's invisible hand at work and in the scam one of the family was given builders concrete instead of their loved ones ashes builders concrete added
5:06 some water to it like grandma's a rock now that's crazy has charged families up to one thousand dollars for cremations that never occurred that's ████ up i think the real crime here is she just stole product yeah she she's she sold stolen product you know stolen property yes it did many families received ashes from bins mixed with the remains of different cadavers see it's a party mix where's grandma everywhere she's spread out and uh the court documents said that the former employee accused hess of earning 40 a former employee accused has earning 40 000 by extracting and selling the gold teeth of some of the deceased that's just a ████ good idea that's a good yeah that's a good all of this rings and ████ super ████ up totally ████ up but like business-wise it's a great ████ favorite you want to put
5:56 all that gold in the ground yeah dude what else it's considered upcycling right it's a new thing up cycling that's a good rebrand i like how they're not like they're they're trying to do zero waste you know and they're very like eco-friendly you know what this reminds me of is like the hunter gatherers but then of today and then they they get the body and then they're just using every piece making sure that all of it is respected that's what the native americans did exactly it's very spiritual i like it just put a face to a name she looks like a sweet all right they're tammy fay beautiful woman like she's in charge of my hoa dude she looks like a wedding crashers character i mean uh wedding singer characters yeah she looks like she's out of a movie yeah she looks like one of those fuzzy like pencil tough friends she looks like she works at a diner that still allows smoking inside let's keep going what else does she look like she looks like she stopped by my mom's
