Solving the Mystery of Jimmy Hoffa: The Search for His Final Resting Place

I am currently listening to this as an employee at amazon, no we are not supposed to be using phones on the floor. Yes I know im violating company policy. Your videos are worth it.

During a court trial: - Did you kill him? - No. - Do you realise what the penalty is for lying when under oath? - Less that for murder.

I’m from Michigan and hearing him decide if Michigan was a state or in Detroit was amazing.

My grandfather was one of the legitimate truck drivers for Hoffa. When after years of a perfect driving record ,my grandfather had several heart attacks and had to retire, Hoffa came to their house and gave my grandfather a really nice gold, diamond, and black onyx ring. I had just been born less than a year at that time and happened to be there. Hoffa bounced me on his knee.

Simon discovering “jabroni” was an absolute comedy masterpiece, made all the better by Simon being totally oblivious to how hilarious this was. You legend, Kevin.

Imagine a podcast of Simon, Danny, and Kevin just telling stories. Just think of the tangents and long rambling stories with no point, and technically no middle and sometimes there's an ending (no guarantees).

Loved this episode, I'm from Michigan, Detroit. My grandfather was a teamster before he got put on disability and my mom worked sales in a warehouse that had teamsters driving for them. The most common joke was always "It'd be easier to find Jimmy Hoffa", "They'd sooner find Jimmy Hoffa" if something was supposed to be impossible. Oddly enough no one talked about who he was more than just, "He was a teamster."

100% my favourite episode of DTU so far. The first 11 minutes of consistent tangents and stories had me reeled in instantly. And yeah, we would also listen to a podcast of tangents. That's why we're all here lol

Ahhh professionalism, the part that decides whether you end up on a Casual Criminalist or a Decoding the Unkown episode.

Ooooohhhhh…I have some history here from my youth. When I was a kid, forensic experts came to our church and did ground penetrating radar on our parking lot to see if he was buried under it. The parking lot was poured the night he went missing and it’s located less than 20 minutes from where he he went missing. FYI-They didn’t find anything.

Former Teamster here (Local 580, UPS driver). I actually met James Hoffa in the late 90s at a state hearing in Detroit. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have a parent’s death be shrouded in such speculation.

A couple of decades ago I was called for jury duty. The judge was Barbara Ann Hoffa. She was Jimmy Hoffa’s daughter. My impression was that she was a very nice person. She had a time after the trial where we were allowed to talk with her and ask questions. Thankfully nobody asked her where the body of her father had ended up.

The next Decoding the Unknown episode should just be Simon trying to guess where every US state is located.

Simon trying to pronounce, the look up "jabroni" was the funniest thing in the episode!

Watching Simon go from "I'd happily be a scav" to "I'd join a damn union if it would stop goddamn split-shifts" in the space of 3 minutes will always be funny. We get to watch a man speedrun his way to realizing why we need unions.

The thing is, I love to listen to your tangents Simon! I don't just come to listen to the stories, I come to be entertained, and you're entertaining :D Keep it up fact boy!

A channel where Simon just rants? Yes please!!! ❤❤

As a Swede, I do not understand how other countries do not like and have the union. Virtually everyone in Sweden is a member of a trade union. The union helps us negotiate new wages and if we are treated wrongly by our employer, they help us and give us a representative / lawyer. The union is the best thing for us workers. That's why we have 5 weeks of paid vacation every year, we have 9 months of paid leave when we have children and more

I love it, that so many people seem to fall peacefully asleep to these stories. 1. I do, too. 2. Listening to Rammstein also works really well for me and that always made me feel a little weird because... those songtexts as a lullaby? But if these stories work, why not those texts...

i worked as an amazon delivery driver for nearly two years. the stories you hear about the poor working conditions and treatment of amazon workers is true. workers are underpaid, overworked, and, because the turnover rate is so high, inexperienced and undertrained. the amazon upper echelon had no tolerance for any discussion of unionization. i live in a southern state that has unfavorable labor laws. the labor laws actually favor the employers. amazon actually paid their workers bonuses if they would spread anti-union propaganda on social media. i have never ordered from amazon and i never will. i hate that company. i encourage anyone reading this to boycott amazon and to cease ordering products from amazon.
