    “don’t tell me i don’t know what burning bodies smells like” oh my god... that really hurt my heart that the man had to smell that smell again. my jaw literally dropped

    If I had a nickel every time a college football star was forced to return to the family's crematory business and later committed atrocities, I'd have 2 nickels. Not a lot, but pretty weird that it happened twice.
  • @the0thermother
    My father was one of the bodies lost in this nightmare. I can't even begin to tell you how much pain they inflicted on my family.
  • @Archi.k8
    If your nickname is „little Hitler“ you should reeeeeaaally reconsider everything you’re doing.
  • @bowmanwright532
    How fitting that a WWII veteran gave a tip that got “Little Hitler” arrested, it’s oddly satisfying.
  • @juliasmith960
    "Truly the worst funeral director of all time." Me: a bold statement there, Caitlin. watches video ...the panel is willing to accept this statement as fact.
  • @endergamer7483
    ”Dont tell me what burning bodies smell like I was at the ovens at Auschwitz” Damn, that must have been a call to be on. More than likely they were simply humoring him and blowing him off, but probably shut up at the point. Honestly he’s the unsung hero of this tale.
  • @MellowJelly
    ALL THAT and he was sentenced to 5 years And now he's in prison for ...... forging bus tickets
  • @AK-jt7kh
    For the record, my cat isn’t going to hesitate to eat my eyeballs. He’s already trying to eat my face on a nightly basis despite my obviously “alive” status.
  • @sarahamira5732
    Nothing says "I peaked in my late teen years" than being part of "The Boys™", and driving around intimidating funeral home competition and trying to beat the record of "How Many Bodies Can We Fit In That Retort?!?!?!"
  • @MissingmyBabbu
    Imagine being someone who saw all the horrors of Auschwitz, and having that be what tips you off that something real messed up is going down nearby.
  • @helloitisi9394
    The fact that "little Hitler" was supposed to be an affectionate/funny nickname absolutely disgusts me.
  • @rickoshay3886
    My father is a war veteran and I told him about the old man smelling the burning bodys. His response was! I can still smell them, you never forget that smell..
  • That poor old man would have had to smell the smell of the most traumatic moments of his life.
  • “ Don’t tell me I don’t know what burning bodies smell like” gave me chills
  • @Poefeathyr
    Things we’ve learned: let people go to art school, let people play football
  • @viceb7
    Omg that poor old man having to remember the smell of burning bodies, that is horrific
