Short Stuff: Frozen Dead Guy

This episode of Stuff You Should Know tells the bizarre true story of Brado Morsthoel, a Norwegian man whose grandson decided to cryogenically freeze him in 1989 and keep him in a makeshift freezer in their Colorado home. What starts as one man's eccentric dream to preserve his grandfather for potential future revival evolves into an unexpected tourism phenomenon when the frozen body is discovered and the town of Nederland turns it into an annual festival called Frozen Dead Guy Days. The hosts explore how this strange situation led to community involvement, a donated shed painted with "Classic Rock," and ultimately the relocation of Brado to the famous Stanley Hotel, all while celebrating one of the oddest stories that real life has to offer.
