I live in the path of Hurricane Michael, and we had many, many spin-off tornadoes.
I never thought dying of a broken heart was bs but my grandfather literally died a month after my grandmother passed away!!!! He legit gave up, he stopped eating, stopped caring for himself, stopped talking, and he just lost it and one day we were trying to clean him up and he just laid down and never got back up....he forgot who we all were and hospice ended up coming in and doping him up until he took his last breath.......my pawpaw was the kind of man that could cut a limb off and duct tape it back on and refuse to go to the dr or er...him and my mawmaw were the cutest couple and they practically raised us and they were so good to us and he loved my mawmaw sooo much....he would pull a pic out of his wallet that was of her when she was around 19 and he would say "look how beautiful my baby is" i miss them so much!!!!!
My father in law did the same thing when my spouse passed away. He’d already lost his wife, but losing his only child was too much. He was diagnosed with broken heart syndrome, and passed away less than four months later.
It’s true- my parents been married 56 years- I’m afraid of the exact same thing happening
My dad died of a broken heart - exactly like you said. My mum was killed by a drunk driver in Feb 2013. By November my dad was in the hospital and just gave up. By 2015 he was gone. He became very demented, didn't even know who we were, he just gave up. When he died, everyone was "I'm so sorry..." to me and I just said "he missed mum."
I’m surprised my grandfather didn’t, because sweet, wonderful, homely grandmother was the only woman he ever loved. She came from a family of long-lived people (except for her brother Carl, who drowned while trying to earn his Boy Scout merit badge in swimming), but she died just two days before her 80th birthday when she tripped on a part of the sidewalk that had buckled under a tree root, fell and broke her hip, and then died of hospital pneumonia. My poor grandfather spent 11 miserable years just waiting to die. After her funeral, he gave me her wedding ring, which is a very slim band of white gold with tiny striations along the edges. It’s the most precious thing I own and I take it off only when medically necessary. If my sister had had a girl, I would leave it to her, but she had three boys. Maybe I’ll give it to the brother born right after me to give to a granddaughter. (I guess I should ask him if he has one.)
My grandfather died from a broken heart. My grandmother died first and he followed her 3 weeks later. They were married 65 years and never argued. He loved her so much he couldn’t live without her. 💜
It's GRIEF not a broken heart
@@geofftottenperthcoys9944open a medical book before you open your mouth.
@@geofftottenperthcoys9944
Colloquially it’s a broken heart-everybody knows what it means. I tend to be literal about most things, but _everyone_ who doesn’t have issues with their brain knows it’s from grief. Seriously, get a grip…
@@geofftottenperthcoys9944 Mike literally said loss of a loved one is a brokenhearted thing...
Grief is the name given to the emotional reaction to loss of a loved one. Mourning is the intense period immediately after the death. Anyone who has survived the death of a beloved person will know that a broken heart is not a literal description but rather an expression of the emotional pain felt during the grieving process. I have survived the loss of 2 children, my sister and her family, my parents, 21 aunt and uncles and many close friends. My heart is broken and I am deeply affected by the losses and the grief process that will likely continue through my lifetime.
I like Dr Pepper but sadly it’s not made of doctors or pepper.
That's why I prefer Mr. Pibb. "Dude didn't even have a degree." R.I.P. Mitch Hedburg.
I know, right?!? False advertising!😅😂
Just like Wednesday Adams said, are your girl scout cookies made with girl scouts? LOL
Know why Dr. Pepper comes in bottles? His wife died. (I didn't make it up.)
I can't handle the SMELL of Dr. Pepper. It's like trying to drink perfume. Pour me a Coke.....
My dad was a physician…an oncologist. He never told his patients how much time they had left because he had seen so many die to the day their doctors told them.
Your mind controls you in more ways than you think
The "Starve a Fever, feed a Cold" isn't about food, it's about temperature. Starve a fever (take away heat). Feed a Cold (add heat). So if you have a cold, you need blankets, for a fever something to help cool you off.
fellow celery haters unite!
Oh I like celery in small doses, like minced up in a salad. I agree that a little bit goes a long way!
Celery taste like how the river smells
I like celery but not when it gets stringy
I like celery when I’m cooking 🤪
🤮
But if there's a Trailer Park anywhere around, these Tornado Magnets will Increase the chances of Tornadoes, lol
When I was born in 1969, my Dad worked for Dr. Pepper. He was in delivery. I have pictures of him, my Mom and my two older brothers in front of the truck.
Classic case of "Broken Heart Syndrome": Debbie Reynolds died the day after her daughter Carrie Fisher died.
That's so sad. I didn't know that. 😢
@@galevalenti7759Yes, she was absolutely devastated when Carrie died. 😔 May both ladies rest in peace.
Well, considering how close they were, Debbie dying after her daughter wasn’t surprising.

I went into broken heart syndrome 4 hours after losing my husband thank heavens I made it
Who on earth thought tornadoes only occurred in tornado alley.
@JustMe-eb3jl This site is full of lies, misinformation and the host has admitted to having mental issues.
We have tornadoes in Virginia
We have them in Ohio.
Since I've lived in Phoenix, AZ, we've had 3 tornadoes: 2 hit north Scottsdale in 2010 and 1 hit near South Mountain Park in 2021
Having grown up in "Tornado alley" I NEVER thought tornadoes only happened there. That's just silly. Sure, they're less likely in other areas but of course they happen anywhere they have an unobstructed path.
Call me a purist! "Irregardless" drives me NUTS! UGH! Can't stand it!
It's utterly redundant and just sounds sloppy when spoken.
"Regardless" already says it all. "IR-regardless" just makes no sense.
irregardless of what you two think, I'm using it now it's been validated.
(btw spellcheck tried changing it to 'regardless', but I ignored it irregardlessly 😂)
@@b8nnytez 🤣🤣🤣
Broken Heart syndrome sucks. My mom suffered from it twice in a matter of months and the second time she wasn't able to be brought back. We still don't know what caused her to stress out so much that it killed her a few months before she turned 67.
That is so sad, and I’m so sorry.
Could care less about irregardless, but I hear people say “ON accident” all the time instead of “by accident” and I feel like I’m going crazy. Am I the only one who has noticed this?
I've said "on accident" because it's the opposite of "on purpose", but buddy, the actual phrase is "couldn't care less" 😂
@@TheRaccoonboy we all say things that are often grammatically incorrect. It’s the American way. 🤣
But you are absolutely right re “could care less” vs “couldn’t care less”
@@DCB938 Irregardless would be what happens if every player on the Irish basketball team fouls out, except the forwards and centers.
@@brianarbenz1329 whatever that means. Lol
Dr pepper is the original!
Rootbeer and sasparilla left the chat
Toilet seats. The only time they're disgusting is when someone hovered over the seat, peed (or worse ) all over it and didn't even bother to clean up after 🤮
Exactly! Those people infuriate me.
“I never sit because there’s always pee on the seat.”
That’s because you morons “hover” and pee ON the seat, not in the toilet!
I love celery especially with peanut butter down the middle
Noooooo 😂
I’ll do it with cream cheese though!
Sense of taste is tied to your sense of smell so thinking like little taste buds in your nose is an interesting way to think of it
I've said it for years that it was proven that you can die from a broken heart 💔 sad isn't it
I’ve had a broken heart for 50 years, I’m still here, broken hearted.
Everybody's free to use sunscreen" awesome song. No doubt
"""""""«:vvv٪٪trrrrþþÿþtþtttt
I'm 56 years old and I have never used sunscreen in my life, have never felt a sunburn though I will turn red....for a day, then I turn brown. I think it must be more of a genetic disposition for folks because I've seen folks get sunburn and they seem to be in pain. The most I've ever felt from a sunburn is a slight itch. When I was a kid and would turn red some smarta** would always be around to slap ya on the shoulder and when I'd simply look back at them and smile I think it freaked them out a little.
I am of Middle Eastern origin. The only time I have had a slight sunburn was when I was in the Sinai desert. I don't use sunscreen either (I'm 63.).
So I agree with you that it's genetic.
I honestly hope you never develop melanoma. My sister-in-law died from it at 45.
I didn’t know that grammar was still bothering people 😂
Edit: CELERY STICKS - IT Stays crunchy in creamy soups and sauces, my mums advice for bunnies.😊
Oh the Sunscreen song! I remember the days! It was class of '99. I was class of 2000!
After 43 years of marriage my husband passed away. I went into broken heart syndrome. Thank heaven I was in the ER, I was legally dead for 3 minutes thanks to the doctor doing CPR and the good LORD I survived my children almost lost both parents on the same day.
OMG ....I HOPE U THANKED GOD AND THE DOCTOR...LIKE.OMG U AND UR KIDS WERE LUCKY
I'm a dancer. You MUST STRETCH BEFORE DANCING. That's a fact. Not stretching is insane.
That’s how you tear muscles
You can stretch before dancing, but you MUST warm up before stretching.
I'm 46 and wrestle and coach wrestling. Not stretching is in fact insane.
Regardless of the calories, I will still be enjoying celery.
#16 - Oh yeah, I remember the Sunscreen song. The 90s was filled with unique tunes.
What? Dairy Queen soft serve is not ice cream? My world just crumbled. 😊
Hey, it can be a topping! 😉
Celery is great with onion dip that you make with onion soup mix and sour cream.
Root beer was the original soft drink.
Great content. I love to know new facts. If only I could remember them now
2:40
My great aunt almost died of this, when my great uncle (her husband) died.
Can confirm, I've got sunburnt at 13°C at 3000m in the Austrian mountains. Be careful ppl
Never in 44 years have I heard ants can lift 5000 times their weight. Only ever heard 50.
I use celery to stir my Bloody Mary
This was absolutely awesome content. Really interesting.
Starve a fever, feed a cold - I grew up thinking that meant when you were overheating you “starve “ the fever with a cool cloth and when you have a cold, you bundle up. The extra heat (feeding) cooked the virus. I never thought it had anything to do with food
Thank you!! I stopped the video and went to listen to “Sunscreen Song”. LOVED IT!!! How did I miss it all these years???
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
Avoid the long exposure to the sun between 1030 am and 3 pm.
I’ve never paid much attention to the “feed a fever, starve a cold” thing, mostly because I can never remember if it’s that way or the other way round, so I just ignore it and eat when I’m hungry.
Never bought into de-toxing, either.
In fact, I knew almost all these.
It’s true!
Moxie beats Dr Pepper by almost a decade (1876)
Appreciate the video Mike and List25 crew
I wanna be a Pepper too, wouldn’t you?
Didn't know that about X-Mas, been giving my friends and family hard time about that...
I don't know what a "base tan" is, but If I have a tan, I WON'T get burned
Your stuff is always fun to listen to.
Celery and peanut butter is amazing. My fav.
Thank you for saying that tornado myth, I remember I was argued down to the ground they only happen in Tornado alley.
Great singing, Mike!
Took timeout to search for and listen to 'The Sunscreen Song' - had never heard it, but I guess it was a bit after my time since it addressed the 'Class of '99' and I was in the 'Class of '69' LOL
I always got sunburns skiing!
Everyone is free to wear sunscreen......I love that song.... even though I graduated in 2002....
I love this channel!
I never heard of tomatoes causing cancer. It’s amazing what people can come up with in their minds lol
Never heard that tomatoes cause cancer
#25 - Phoebe in Friends discusses this briefly when debating with Ross about how science can be wrong sometimes. And of course it can be, because eventually we learn more about things.
I definitely knew the colorblindness facts. A friend of mine, who I dated when I was in college, is red/green colorblind. Late at night, traffic lights used to switch to flashing red or flashing yellow rather than full cycles when the traffic didn’t need them. When we would be driving after they’d switched to flashing, I’d simply say “Yellow” or “Red” mid-conversation to let him know so he didn’t have to wait until he got close enough to tell which light was flashing by its position.
That caught some other friends off guard when, as we drove from where we’d been, I randomly said “Yellow” mid sentence. They thought I’d lost the plot, though I’d just said it out of habit. Then I realized why they were confused and said I always announce the color of the flashing light for James because he can’t tell if they’re red or yellow. They had known him for several years and never known he’s colorblind. The funny thing is, despite his colorblindness, he’s an excellent photographer and used to develop his own film.
Oreos taste better than Hydrox
Yes, broken heart syndrome is true. A few anecdotes I have heard and experienced
I believe I barely survived it 37 years ago.
I was in a Band called tornado alley.
Another wll list put together thank for the video
I’ve never paid much attention to the “feed a fever, starve a cold” thing, mostly because I can never remember if it’s that way or the other way round, so I just ignore it and eat when I’m hungry.
Love all ur supporting evidence. We just believe it because you said it.
8:53 Hey, Mike, no chill for a mo'! You trying to tell me to drink [alcohol] less, in smaller amounts?
Te sunscreen song was awesome
I definitely have to agree on the celery being gross comment. Can't stand it.
I don't mind celery chopped up in something, raw or cooked, but I will not eat a rib of celery by itself.
I don’t like it in any form. The flavor and the texture are both horrible. I can tolerate it in a soup or stew if necessary, but if I have the opportunity I’ll pick it out.
Great video 👍 thanks List 25 Mike ❤ use to live in Florida I know about their crazy weather Lol 😂 And please Mike don't quit your day job 😂😂👍👍👍❤️🔥
#19 - I was a member of Bolt, from 2000 to 2008. I think I've heard of Six Degrees, but Bolt was marketed more to teens and college students.
Okay Mike I listened to the sunscreen song. 😅 It was strange and I was born in 1970. Never heard of it until now. Lmao
Me too 😂
We used baby oil😮
As the saying goes, imitation is the highest form of flattery. 🍪 😋
I burnt the bottom of my feet as I covered legs, arm, back a rms, face, but not bottoms of feet.They burnt so bad I couldn't walk for 4 days.
#23 Yeah, where DID that incredible number come from? I always heard the 10 X's figure. Never heard about the neck stat either🤷🏼♂️🤓😎✌🏼
Having blue come defency, pretty awesome to hear colorblindness mentioned.. And although I have a problem telling colors part, I have pretty damn good night vision
12:23 Say now, friend, you're being a bit uppity. Ants on a Log is "gross"? Y'know, Mike, SO many spring-fall afternoons in my childhood were brightened by that fun treat! [*Civilly forgiving but keeping an eye on you* :-D]
I ❤ your shirt. (i have a similar) I LOVE DR. PEPPER.
Ive been to the museum in Waco TX.
I really like your channel of lists & you too, Mike.
Broken heart syndrome? Do you mean Padme Amidalla syndrome
Absolutely was thinking that the entire time
13:52 a totally underrated song 🥰
9:03 VERY correct! I recall the single take shot [at least in final cut] from War of the Roses as Michael Douglas chugged a full large Gatorade in his lawyer's off ice after his wife had locked him in the sauna (at an increased temp) for FAR too long. [A thought: ONE dribble and the shot is "ruined" - HOW many times did Douglas have to do the full-bottle chug?]
In a recent video, you DID say celery was a "negative calory" food.
Wow being an omnivore both together are delicious thanks mike lol
I do love the facts about cloud and rain, but new things happening with cloud seeding tech are quite amazing.
Hey there! 😊
I love Dr. Pepper.It's my source of everything
Dr Pepper is good
What about ICQ.? I remember using this during the 1990s, but don't remember when exactly
I was wondering if broken heart syndrome can damage your heart
Its "everybody's free to wear sunscreen" it's basically a highschool or college comensment speech. A lot of it's actually pretty good advice
#15 You mean Zappa was wrong when he sang 🎵"It reached right up and grabbed my...🎶in "Why does it hurt when I P?😮🤯. 🤓😎✌🏼
It's false that all rain comes from clouds. At multiple times in my life I've experienced incredibly heavy downpour with not a single cloud in the sky
I think that's probably just you Jonathon. 😉
Tornado Alley has changed actually.
celery is fire
First time I ever heard about Hydrox...
“Irregardless” wasn’t officially recognized as a word by Merriam Webster until 2020.
I've never heard that word used. Interesting.
i always heard ants could lift 50 times their weight.
Did you know that DR Pepper was a fizzitian!…
Oh yes, all the big fans of Greek history giving a nod to their heritage 😂
You just gotta love mike man he’s the best
There have been tornadoes , hurricanes and even earthquakes here in the UK . The tornadoes aren't usually as big as the ones in the States but they can do a lot of damage especially in built up areas , earthquakes are also mere tremors compared to most across the world but they too can do a lot of damage . The most famous hurricane in the UK hit southeast England the Channel Islands and parts of northern France , it killed 19 people and caused billions in damage , in October 1987 . BBC Weather Anchor Michael Fish famously said " There are rumours of an incoming hurricane but don't worry it will probably just pass by " .
15:47 VERY interesting! I've read from numerous sources that "gringo" was coined as a descriptive response to encroaching settlers who were [seemingly] *endlessly* singing Green Grows the Valley and the "green grows" > "gringos" was not a slur but [originally] intended as a descriptive toward the Whites who seemed to sing THAT song *endlessly*. The alternate offered here is interesting.
