- Hello and welcome to
another edition of-- - BuzzFeed Unsolved Postmortem. - A show where we answer
your most pressing questions about the most recent episode,
which was Louis Le Prince. (laughs)
- The magic, the movie man. - All the questions we're answering today came from you guys via our BuzzFeed Unsolved Facebook. And our BuzzFeed Unsolved Instagram. - Remember when we used to do
animations at the beginning of the show?
- Yeah. That was fun when it was
contained to maybe 10 seconds. Now it takes up about five
minutes at the end of the show. so people just know to log out by then. (laughs) Also we got some other things
we're talking about today. - There's a lot cover, huh?
- Yeah, yeah. There's a Gardner Museum update. - Yeah. - We're gonna be talking a
little bit about Amelia Earhart. - That's right. - 'Cause that was back in the news. - She's bones. - She's always in the news.
- Yeah. - Her publicist is working overtime. - Yeah (laughing). - So the Gardner Museum
would like us to inform you that you could go to this link right here if you wanna learn any
more about the heist. There's a lot of good facts there. You can see the actual
artwork that was stolen, and it's just a lot of good stuff there, straight from the source, not from this guy's mouth because once it goes through this filter, who knows what happens? - It's useless.
- It's useless. It's the shittiest Brita
of all time when it comes to ideas. Here's a question, let's
start off with a question now. - Let's start off with a question. - This come from Michael Vargas Cubero. Guys, you really, that's
in all caps, should look into the Amelia Earhart update
and post it into a video. I know this is not related to
this video but two days ago, a further study on the case using modern identification
technology shows that the bones found back in 1940 in
Nikumaroro are in fact 99% a match to Amelia Earhart. This was blowing up Twitter all
week and we had a lot of people tweeting it at us.
- Sure did. - To comment on this. - You'd think Amelia Earhart
found a ghost in her apartment with how many people were tweeting at us. (people laughing) - Bad joke. - A little Dear David dig. - Just (imitates crash landing). - I liked it. - It was bad. - Anyway-- - So basically, the gist of it
is based on reports I've read this is from BBC, which I would consider, I would consider that a
credible, trusted source. - Yeah. - This scientist took the
bones that were found in 1940 that were analyzed by Hoodless.
- Before throwing them out. - Before the dummy that threw them into the ocean. (laughs) The most provocative thing
discovered on the island by Gallagher was a partial human skeleton, as well as 12 other bones. Anyways, those bones were thought to be related to that of a man, perhaps Noonan. Now a new scientist has come
forward using the measurements, just the measurements.
- Just the measurements. - And thinks that when compared
to, here's a quote from it, This analysis reveals that
Earhart is more similar to the Nikumaroro bones
than 99% of individuals in a large reference sample. Basically all the reports were just like, "Oh the measurements say
that it's a 99% match off of some undisclosed sample size." Yet, we can't really be sure
because we can't compare them, the DNA of the bones to her
DNA, because we don't have the bones because a dumbass
back in the day decided, "Fuck evidence." But Hoodless determined that
the bones belonged to a man who was short, stocky,
and of European descent. And could not be Earhart or Noonan. Unfortunately, after this conclusion, Hoodless discarded the bones,
thereby preventing anyone from DNA-analyzing them in the future. - And now there's a mystery
forever, and that's fine. We'll just have to live with it. She seemed like a great
lady, but even great ladies sometimes get eaten by crabs. How about we take it over to Gramtown? - Let's do it. - Maoise, that jerk Edison
electrocuted elephants and whatnot because he
wanted to scare people away from the use of Tesla's
alternating current, so I don't think it's
farfetched to believe that he was behind Louis
Le Prince's disappearance. What a douche. (laughs) Edison was a notoriously vile man. - There's a lot to suggest
that he didn't even invent the light bulb,
he stole it from maybe 20 or so people that
invented it before him. He was a salesman, he
knew how to brand things. He was like that ShamWow guy.
- Yeah. - I read something about,
I don't know if it's true, where he didn't really
know how to work an x-ray, but he wanted to kind
of jump on the train. And then as a result, some of his workers got infected with radiation poisoning and had to amputate a
bunch of their limbs. - Oof. - Here's the thing, I'm not here to just shit on Thomas Edison.
- I am. - And slander his name.
- I'm fine. - But if you were to just
do a little bit of reading on Thomas Edison, the
internet would do plenty of shitting for me. - He straight up murdered that elephant. - Do you think Edison
to this day has goons? - Oh, he's got goons. - Well, I mean--
- He's probably has like great-goon-children. - This come from Facebook,
from Vasti Karina Flores. For Q&A, has Ryan addressed
his secondary career as Bruno Mars' backup dancer? (laughs) - That is alarming. - There's a picture, I don't
know if we actually show it, legally, if we can, I'll show it right now. (funky music) I wanna be honest, if I saw
this, I would think that's me. If I didn't remember I took this picture. - Now, you may not be aware of this, but every now and then, I
think you sort of black out and become someone named Ricky Goldsworth. - Who's Ricky Goldsworth? I know, it doesn't make
a lot of sense to you. What if you also sometimes
black out and become this other person who is a
backup dancer for Bruno Mars? - I don't know what you're talking about. - Troubling. - Keep your mouth shut, long legs. - Here's from N_Meda, no
aliens in this episode either? What's going on, Ryan? - Yeah, I would say
that I usually will put in an alien theory when
I do find it plausible. When there's something
about the true crime case that is so out of left field that it warrants the possibly of aliens. In this case, a dude stepped on a train. I feel like if an alien ship
were to come and abduct him when he's on this train,
a fair amount of people on the train would see it. - You know what's suddenly
exciting to me, though? The thought of an UFO sort of
matching the speed of a train. The aliens kind of throwing
a hook down, sliding down-- - Like a cowboy train robbery?
- Yeah. - Except aliens?
- But it's aliens. - That is pretty cool. - Somebody, write that. Pitch it to Warner Brothers or something. - Now that you say that, I wonder why I didn't put that as a theory. - Yeah, see now you're into it. - No, that was a joke. There's no way I'm gonna-- - Oh, it's hard for me to tell sometimes. - Oh yeah, is it? (laughs) That's good, that's good, Facebook,
this is Gabby Polhamus. You guys missed a clear explanation, his assistant's last name
was Mason, as in Freemason. It was an inside job, the Masons
didn't want the technology getting out when they didn't
have control of the inventor, the way they did with
Edison, #BuzzFeedsolved. (laughs) It's rumored and I don't
know if it's confirmed that Louis Le Prince
was in fact a Freemason. - Interesting. - I don't think that means anything. It seems if you're looking at the Freemason Illuminati MO, right, they want their
people to ascend to positions of power.
- Sure. - So that they can have
influence on the culture of the world. Why wouldn't they want this guy, to become one of the most famous
people in the world, have an invention that
literally changes the world, and then have him as a big puppet man? - Unless they've already got
Edison under their thumb? - This didn't happen by the way--
- It's bologna. - This is all hypothetical.
- It's all bologna, back on over to Grams
City, here's from Its_alfie. Pickles or potatoes? - What the fuck? - Just a fun off-topic Q. - Potatoes, I mean that's
not really a question, right? Do you realize how much you eat potatoes? - Yes, but I do like a pickle.
- Okay. - I'm gonna go potato. - I'm glad you came to your senses there. - We both agree on potatoes.
- There you go. - Spud buds.
- Spud buds, good stuff, this one comes from Facebook, from Maria Zambrana. I found a, this looks like
she actually did some legit research here, which is nice. I found a 1907 New York
Supplement that reads, in part, "While the car was
still moving so smoothly and quietly along, the plaintiff
supposed it had stopped, the plaintiff stepped
off and was thrown down and injured." Due to less-than-diligent
train attendants not noticing, people either drunkenly,
carelessly, or sleepily would step off smooth-riding trains that don't have today's safety measures. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that Le Prince did the
same, waking up in a panic and thinking that he'd missed his stop. And his body was either unidentified, say if he fell into water and
wasn't found for a week or two hidden by a thief who
stripped him of anything valuable/useful or mistaken
for that of a dead vagrant if a homeless person swapped
clothes with the body. Sadly, the briefcase and
its contents, no doubt confusingly technical in
nature to the average person, were probably just disposed of. - Zambrana!
- So she's just saying that a lot of people fell off trains back in the day.
(exhales) - Zambrana's doing the work. - We only looked at him
falling off the train as an act of suicide, right?
- Yeah. - An act of his own doing. - Trains are-- - We didn't look at it as like, "Oh, he accidentally fell off the train." - It could happen. - He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that would go over to
the opening of the train to check to see if the
train is still moving. - I don't know what trains
were like back then, it's hard to say.
- I don't know. I mean, is it plausible
that he may have just accidentally fell off the train? Maybe.
- Yeah. - Sure.
- Yeah. - I just don't think it's
very likely, to be honest. But it's worth mentioning,
I think it's a good Q. So this one comes from Twitter. We haven't done one of these in a while. Someone tweeted this at me,
a man named Will Snyder, @8bitactor, I'll just say the tweet. Hey @ryansbergara and @shalexandej, I am a direct descendant
of Louis Le Prince. Thank you so much for
doing an episode on him. Ever since I was a kid,
I've told everyone I knew that my great great great grandfather was the actual inventor of
the motion picture camera. Our family pretty much believes
that Louis got off the train in Paris, took a wrong turn
and was mugged and murdered. Simple as that, no conspiracy. Thanks again for this episode. #buzzfeedunsolved
@ryansbergara @shalexandej. - Wow, so it's possible he got off the train? - He's saying that he
got off the right stop. - Yeah.
- He was in the taxi portion of it, just took a wrong turn, or maybe he walked down the
wrong street at the wrong time, got mugged and that's it. - Wow. - The reason why I wonder about this is 'cause you would think
there'd be some evidence of him getting mugged. But the fact that he disappeared, the briefcase never found again
means there was some thought into covering up the tracks, right? That just doesn't strike me as
something that a petty thief would do, right?
- Yeah. Yeah, I see what you're saying. - So that's why to me this
doesn't seem as likely, no disrespect to Will and his family. - Well, 'cause that's
why this one is unsolved. - Oh, Jesus Christ. - Here's from back from Gram
Town, catmothefuzzycat, okay. Q&A, I must say I was mostly
indifferent towards the HotDaga but you really won me
over with the plupples-- - Now the username makes sense. - #shaniacs. Catmo. - Catmothefuzzycat, that
sounds like somebody who enjoys the Hotdaga.
- Yeah, it does. I did get a lot of feedback,
everybody loved the plupples. (sighs) Spoilers, this week have an
incredible guest voice actor. - And I was disappointed to
find, he informed me before this that this person's not gonna
come in to live-read it. - I have it recorded. - 'Cause I actually do
have the door locked, so I thought that was gonna be-- - Oops.
- Kind of funny to have his guest actor try and get in and knock on the door like, "Let me in", and I be like, "No." It'd be fun.
- No, that's all right. Ryan, what do we got coming up this week on the season finale? - Season finale, this
episode is very dark. This is a very popular case
on Reddit, on the internet, and mainly just because the details of it are so strange.
- All right. - Yeah, it's creepy.
- Alright, well, that sounds fun. - (laughs) So that does
it for this episode of BuzzFeed Unsolved Post Mortem. Make sure you watch the
episode this Friday, and send your questions
into the BuzzFeed Unsolved Facebook page and the Instagram page. What are you doing? - I just, I gotta cue up some stuff
for the Daga, it's all good. Thanks for watching Post Mortem this week. - Okay, well that does it then. - Our weekly Q&A concluded,
I now welcome you to the part of the show we call
the HotDaga, a hot dog saga commissioned by Ryan Steven
Bergara, written by me, and adored by every single viewer. And if you don't like
it, you can kiss my buns. I changed that from,
"You can" what was it? Fuck off or something? Now it's more thematically,
it ties with buns. Fun, right?
- Good. - In the jungles of the
alien planet of Tamat Zero, Maisie the holographic corn
follows Garce, the plupple, to the supposed crash site
of the Starship Minestrone. So what's your deal again, corn lady? I'm a hologram dreamed by a witch. It's a shitty situation but I'm in love with my dead hologram wife
so I'm going to keep existing until I can travel back
in time and save her, and I guess, earth. Makes sense if you actually
tracked the story probably. Wait, you're from earth? Wow, okay, yeah. Why, you've heard of it? Oh yeah, for sure. I heard about that
place on the space news. Got some big evil guy with a nasty glove, is chewing it all up? Said he ate the moon an appetizer. I'm guessing that has
to do with all my shit. (sighs) I wonder if earth's tasty. Big evil guy should
consider eating this planet, way things are going. Well, what do you mean by that? Eh, plight of the plupples. It's rough, corn, I'm
basically the smartest plupple in the galaxy on account
of my papa teaching me how to read, and even
I'm straight up bonehead. The two of them pass an idle
plupple, "Oh, hey Smeech." Plop, plop, plop, ooh! - It's actually making me feel sick. I actually feel physically sick. - All right, man. Hey, say hi to the grandkids. See, they're dummies and
they're all marching to the beat of old Doctor Goondis. Doctor Goondis? Oh yeah, some nutty old
guy that made a home for himself here after the Space Wars. He used to be real technical
wiz, charismatic as all hell, but he's been a little funny for a while. Plupples love him though. Space Wars, huh? Wonder if this is the guy Mike
Soup planned for us to meet. Well, I hope not. Dude's cracked. Oh hey, watch out for, with her next step, Maisie falls into a pit trap. Well, I mean, uh oh. Scene change, darkness. Maisie lands with a thud
around her, a scuttling. Maisie ignites her glow-stick and lights and light spills on her environment. A darkened cavern, she is
surrounded by plupples. They don't look like Garce,
they look dumb as hell. Oh, whoa there folks. Hang on now, I'm a friend of Garce. Can any of you, look I'm just trying to, the plupples all coo, "Plup, plup, plup." - Holy shit, you created Ewoks.
- Huh? No.
- You created your own version of Ewoks. - These are different. - You created one of the shittiest parts of the original trilogy. Oh my God, I just realized that right now. What the, no wonder why I hate this even more than usual. - I need to get out of
here and find my ship. Maisie picks up the nearest plupple. Please tell me there's a way out of here. There's a way out of here,
the plupple explodes. The plupples all coo, suddenly
from the deep Abelloway. - Oh, are they going to eat her? (cavernous squawking) Wow. - What the, what is that? Is that Doctor Goondis? We still can't see the figure,
but we hear it from the deep. - [Voiceover] Don't worry,
I am Doctor Goondis. Blech. - It's you. - No, it's not. - Yeah.
- No, it's not. He doesn't sound anything like me. What are you talking about? - [Voiceover] Don't worry,
I am Doctor Goondis. - Yeah, it's you. You're in the Hot Daga now. - Oh my God. You're a madman. Oh my God, he literally went through every one of the VO files that
I've recorded for Unsolved, cut up little pieces of it to form this? You are insane. You're a madman. I can't believe, do you
have any idea how long that probably took to do? [Voiceover] Don't worry,
I am Doctor Goondis. - Anyway, tune in next
week for the season finale of the Hot Daga, starring Ryan Bergara. - What the fuck?
- We got him. - No, you didn't get me. This just proves how crazy you are-- - We got him. - This just proves how crazy you are. - [Voiceover] Don't worry, I am Doctor Goondis. - Oh my God, you-- - I love it. - I've never been more scared
of you than in this moment. - How did you not realize that? - Because I didn't think
you'd be insane enough to comb through hours and hours of VO. - I did. - Wow. (mysterious music)
