- Hello and welcome to another edition of BuzzFeed Unsolved Post Mortem, a show where we answer your
most pressing questions about the most recent
episode of BuzzFeed Unsolved, which was Ken Rex McElroy. All the questions we're answering
today came from you guys via our BuzzFeed Unsolved Facebook page and our BuzzFeed Unsolved Instagram page. - What a whopper! - Yeah, that episode, it started rough but in the end I hope you all felt some sense of redemption
'cause I sure did. - A lot of moral quandaries in it? - I think the episode
definitely hit rock bottom and we worked our way up but it definitely more so than maybe even passed
BuzzFeed Unsolved episodes, had a true rock bottom in terms of despair but one of the few Unsolved episodes that actually has a happy
ending, I would say. - I guess if you view it in the lens of this man is a villain then
yes, he has been vanquished. - Shall we answer some questions here? - Oh, yeah! - Oh, yeah!
- Yeah! - Oh, yeah yeah yeah.
- Okay. - Oh yeah.
- Yeah, I love questions. Here's from gabbers_27,
this is 'Gram City. What happened to his young wives after this arrogant and
disgusting person was killed? - As we stated in the
episode, she remarried and then later died, I
believe in her fifties. And that's, this is Trina
we're talking about. I actually don't know
what happened to Alice or, actually I forget what that
name of his other wife, I should probably look at that. - Lot of wives.
(Ryan laughs) - A lot of wives, I gotta look them up. - Didn't one of them sort
of defend him a little bit? - Alice defended him in a
1981 Time magazine interview, but that's, like that we mentioned this in the episode as well-- - It's tough. It's tough. - It's kinda common in these cases for people to kind of lessen the abuse. - Yep. - It's sad. I would like to hope
that they went on to live healthy and normal lives after this but I can't say for sure. Sorry. Let's go to Facebook here. This is from Abbie May Smith. You said he didn't see who shot him but if you saw a large crowd
of people behind your car, you surely would look behind
in your rear view mirror? He may not know the ID of the shooter but you'd have expected
something to happen with a mob behind you. Your thoughts. - Well yeah. - What I'm about to say
is gonna be considered rather upsetting and I
admitted it from the episode. Trina's testimony states
that before he got shot, he kind of knew what was about to happen and he lit a cigarette and
was completely fine with it. He didn't appear scared at all. - He was scared on the inside. - I unfortunately hold the belief that he kinda didn't give a shit. - Well that's fine, 'cause he's dead. - But it isn't it--
- This episode's (laughs)-- - It's a little bit--
- Kind of a bummer. - It is a bummer but
it's a little bit sweeter to think that he was maybe gonna grovel a little bit at the end.
- Quake in his boots. - Maybe try and be like, I
could change kinda thing. I don't know why that makes
him more satisfying to me. Maybe I'm more sadistic than I think I am. - That's true. - But it does make it more satisfying and that's why I ended up ultimately cutting it out of the episode. Yeah. Moving on. - Oh. - This Post Mortem may
be a bit of a bummer. I don't know. - Well, I'll try and find some fun Qs on 'Gram City real quick. Here's one from YSL_Alberto. Wow, another episode without
a supernatural reference? Is Ryan gaining some sanity? (Ryan laughs) - I don't know-- - He thought that was very funny. Good, good Q. - It was obviously a fake laugh. - That sounded real. That's how you laugh!
- You know, I'm not going to even entertain this bit
'cause it's a dumb bit. - It's a good bit. - It's not, it's stupid. I swear to God, if you make that fucking horse talk and say-- - That was a pretty good bit, right? - Nope, nope. - I thought it was funny. - That's his catchphrase now. We gotta put that on a t-shirt. - No, we don't. - Yeah, we might have to. - I think it would be
frankly disrespectful for me to put a supernatural reference into this one, because it's-- - Oh, yeah. Yeah. - It's clearly, a whole
town saw what happened and I think there'd be a lot of people that would take issue with me then saying, I don't think you guys knew
what you saw, all 50 of you. This is Instagram. From @the_real_eugene_lee. Okay, first of all, holy fucking shit. That guy is a dick. Second of all, how could
60 of those witnesses have no clue who murdered Ken. Sure, they probably want
to keep the thing quiet in a sense of justice,
but if I was murdered in front of two to five people and they could clearly see the
murderer physically kill me, I see no reason why 60 people can't. Also, here's a theory,
Shane traveled back in time with his alien friends to 1981 and went to Missouri to see the Ozarks, the, quote, mosquito the
size of a bird, end quote, and killed Ken in a sense of, quote, fuck this guy, end quote,
and went to the present, just in time to make the
BuzzFeed Unsolved episode. By the way you guys are the best. And this is long as fuck. On that last part, I can agree. Hashtag Shaniacs. And then she tagged you, @shanemadej. - Oh, thanks. - I think the point of the story is they didn't wanna say anything, so that's answering the first part. - Uh huh. - Second part, she's
positing that you jumped into a time machine, went back and killed Ken Rex McElroy yourself. Gonna say that's a hard no. - Yeah, that's a bit of a stretch. Boy, what would I do if I
had access to a time machine. Where would you go? - Maybe I'd go back and I'd stop myself from adding details to
your stupid animations. - That's all you-- - Which then, was the
impetus of The Hotdoga. - What do you think of The Hotdoga? - I thought it was funny. (spitting) - He just spit on you. - I would travel back in time to when Walt Disney was drawing Mickey Mouse, and I'd say, draw me instead. And then--
(Ryan laughs) And then I'd be Mickey! Yeah, you'd go to Disney
Land, there'd just be-- - No no no. - A bunch of little cartoon Shanes. Here's one from mia_H2001. 'Gram City. For the Post Mortem, does
Shane only pick goofy questions and does Ryan only pick
thoughtful questions? - Yeah, for the most part, I would say that's pretty much how it goes. - Yep. Gonna follow that up with nwills18. How do you steal a cow? Uh, rope? - What do you to make a cow tip over? Cow tippin'? - You fucking tip it, bro. - No no no. Is that what you do? - You just fucking tip it. - Well, then you just push it over. - Yeah. - You push it over onto
a sled or something and you drag it away.
- Oh. - That's how I would do it. Okay, here comes one from Instagram. This is @chacegerryloveschickennuggys. I like chicken nuggets too. - I love nuggys. - I ate exclusively chicken nuggets until I was 10 years old, I feel like. - That explains a lot. - What did, oh what did you eat? What great food, do you eat kale when you were under 10? - No, but I had some broccoli. - Kay, anyways. We're gonna get back to the question now-- - Great.
- If you don't mind. - Great great. - Who wants to name their town Skidmore? Listen Shane. I love how it's so pointed at you. You better respond and have a good answer because I just don't understand. Well? - Why it's called Skidmore? - Yeah, why do they call it Skidmore. - Probably a last name. - So someone's last name is Skidmore? - Probably. Who can say where names come from? - I'd hope that's satisfying. - There's probably a town in Iowa named Asshole or something, you know? - I don't think so. - I'm gonna see if there's
a town named Asshole. - I bet you there is a town named Asshole but it ain't in Iowa. - No, there's no Asshole. - Well I hope this answer satisfied you because it certainly
didn't do anything for me. - Titty Hill in England. (Ryan laughs) - What about this one for fun. From Instagram, spicegirl_jayl. Agree with Shane, fuck him. I hope my spooky boys are doing okay. Also, this isn't a question
but I hope you choose this because I comment on all of
these but never get chosen. - There it is. - Yeah! - That one has a good
sentiment to round up the end of the episode. - Yeah! - Fuck him, which is-- - Fuck him. - (laughs) Just, I agree. I think in the end, he got
what he had comin' to him. - There's still a question in the air of whether or not
vigilante justice is okay. Certainly that's a
question to be talked about but certainly, without
a doubt, fuck that guy. - Yeah, I would say that. Regardless of how the outcome was reached, I agree with the outcome. - Yeah. - And I'm okay, for once,
with it just being a mystery. - Oh! - I dipped my toe into the Shaniac waters. - It's fun. - Now I'm taking it back out. - Feels good. - Because my toe is
starting to turn a little-- - Sneak down a little more. - It's starting to turn a little green. - Get that shin in there. Ooh. - No, no.
- Feel that calf bubblin'. Woo, woo woo.
- My toe's out! I think I need to go to
the hospital, actually. - Shaniac waters. - Okay. Well, that does it for this episode of BuzzFeed Unsolved Post Mortem. Make sure you watch the
new episode this Friday. Send in your questions
to the BuzzFeed Unsolved Instagram page and the
BuzzFeed Unsolved Facebook page and maybe we'll answer it
on the next Post Mortem. Like this one we just answered there. (Shane chuckles) That was weird. (Shane laughs)
Okay. - We gotta talk about merch. - So we do have an announcement here and there's two parts to it. It's a two-parter. Do you wanna hear the
good part or the bad part? - Oh, gimme the bad part. - So the bad part is we are retiring some of our merch designs. But--
(baby crying) Let's, why don't we just snap our fingers and then we'll have some of the designs that I'm talking about
that we're about to retire. - Yeah.
- Here we go. (snapping) - Wow. - Here's the designs. Dunzo. Gone. - Outta here! - Settin' them on fire. (Shane whistles)
Yeah? - If you don't buy 'em,
we're putting 'em in a rocket and we're shooting it at the sun! - So if you do want to buy these shirts before they leave forever, you can do so for 10 percent off until February 28th. - Febs. That's all you got. - And you use the code, Last Chance. (Ryan breathes loudly) - I'm feeling the heat. - 'Cause it's your last chance. - You gotta do it.
- Easy code to remember. - You gotta do it. Aw Ryan, that's such bad news. - That is bad news but the good
news is we are retiring them to make room for some new designs. - Huh?
- Oh, shit. And, do we have the new designs yet? - Oh, do we? - Nope, we don't have them
yet but you'll see them soon. - Ryan, what's coming up-- - Oh yeah, that's that part too. - Yeah, it's this part. - Oh boy, next week we take
a journey down to Tinseltown. (Shane gasps) Old Tinseltown.
- Old Tinseltown. - If you're a fan of
old film noir murders, if you're a fan of Room
1046 even, that episode, you'll probably like the coming episode. Recreations directed by none
other than Mr. Zach Kornfeld. - Korn Diddy. - I think that's it. - Mm kay.
- For the episode. Well, see you guys next week. - You can leave if you want. Our weekly Q&A concluded,
I now welcome you to the part of the show
we call The Hotdoga. A hotdog saga commissioned
by Ryan Steven Bergara, written by me and adored
by every single viewer. Space, the final frontier--
- Don't you dare. Don't you dare.
- These are the travels-- - Start it over, start it over. Don't put that part in there. - Space, the final frontier.
- You piece of. - These are the travels--
- How dare you. - Of the Starship Minestrone. It's mission, to reach
the Graxalon Wormhole to travel back in time to save
our friends and loved ones from burning up in a
volcano and then rock out to a baller Risky Fixins song. Captain! Enson. Exiting FTL travel. Bring her in slow. This pony's been in the
stable for a month of Sundays. Aye aye, Captain! Captain, our scanners
are picking up a planet. Of course they are, it's a planet. Ah, Tomott Zero. It's been too long. Why the hell are we going here again? An old friend of mine, heh,
he's got the bernoolie converter we need to make it to
the Graxalon quadrant and slip our asses through
that saucy wormhole. What's he doing on a planet like this? Based on these scans, it looks
like a swampy pile o' junk! You'll see. He's very compelling. Perhaps more compelling than Gene. Perhaps the most compelling
character in existence. Heh heh.
- Alright. - That's very funny. Enson French Fries! Plot our approach to Tomott Zero. Sure. Boop boop boop! Captain, we're being held. Put him on the screen. (evil laughter) If it isn't Mike Soup! The beloved space ace. - Did you say held or hailed? 'Cause you're supposed to say hailed. - I said hailed.
- Oh. It sounded like you said held. - No, I said hailed. Chili pirates, surrender your
ship and we'll let you live. I don't negotiate with assholes. Maisy, shields up! Arm the torpedoes. - That was pretty funny. - Captain, we don't have any torpedoes. Oh shit, I forgot to buy new ones! (evil laughter) Whoa, Captain! Their torpedoes are headed our way! (evil laughter) The crew braces themself
as the ship shutters and an explosion rips through the bridge. (explosion) - Wow. (clapping) - Woo! - If you're. - I truly--
- I'm out, folks. - I'm wracking my brain right now. - I'm down to take a victory
lap, that was a fucking, woo! (creepy music)
