land plugged in. The extension quarter is not long enough
on the leg lamps.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 6 (01:30):
I was there.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
And every wanted to try an Olympic and Paralympic sport.
Try fencing is fast, safe and easy to start. You
could be like a very own Iowa Sam. Find a
beginner class near you at USA Fencing dot org slash
try Fencing. That's USA Fencing dot org slash try fencing.
Rich On Guard, which is a better like fun fact
about Iowa Sam our sound architect of the show, the

(02:46):
fact that his confirmation name is Javier, or the fact
that he was a fencer back in the day.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
I know well I was. It was a different life.
Would say the swordsman a tear but I don't use
a musket dough or the fact that he's a LARPer
on the weekends.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I was saying, if you don't mind, uh, I don't
know if you're super private, what is your how do
you pronounce your last time?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I always get it wrong.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Kinsley, Kinsley because it doesn't look at Kinsley. It looks
like Kingsle Kingsley Kinsley.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
So if I were to call you, if I were
to call you Samuel Javier Kinsley, would you like punch
me in the stands? I won't go after you DCAF style.
And by the way, new angles are coming out. And
unless he said something earlier. While I do think that
fan is a buffoon, the idea that he said some

(03:38):
racist stuff does not peer does not appear to be
evident with any video that's floating around.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
So I still think that guy was evident. The NFL
would not have suspended DK Metcalf so quickly.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, I think, uh, I think think the fan is
still abrasive and a dope, But then again, he's just
being an abrasive fan. There's no crime in that. I
just think he's a loser. But can't he can't be
put his hands on someone. I'm not back pedaling, but
as we see more and more video, it was more
of a shove than a punch, but it was also

(04:10):
no no racist stuff that we're seeing so far. So
just a little follow up on that story. Now I'm
seeing you seeing the same video. Can you know, like
from a little higher up in the stands.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, I'm seeing all sorts of video. Yeah, there's footage,
there's cameras. He did call him by his birth name.
I didn't hear anything racist. Who knows.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Ain't that right, Samuel hobber Kinsley. Everybody needs to be guard.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Hey, and speaking of football, based on Profet's update, what
do JJ McCarthy and Rich Davis have in common?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
JJ McCarthy and me having common hairline fractures? Do you
talk about my hairline?

Speaker 5 (04:50):
I thought you were going to say the way Rich
does his face black during the.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
During during my rec softball put warm, Well that too.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm heading to the list anyway, speedy recovery for him.
Now here's the dilemma before we get into Iron Mike trivia.
You know he's going to be giving away prizes, his
first appearance since August. Iron Michael be here to give
away some holiday gifts trivia for you this hour, so
stick around. I am an Idaho with my girlfriend's family,

(05:22):
right and they're all a little younger than me. But
that doesn't matter because guess what, Rich, I wasn't alive
in nineteen forty six when it's a wonderful life came out,
but it's a holiday classic old on.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I brought it up. I brought it up last night.
I'm getting feedback our introws on fire today. Yeah a
Mike and Scott. A lot of people are saying that
is his new nickname going to be DK smile A.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, that's the problem with making stuff off. Huh. You
can't be making stuff huh. Can't be using that as
an excuse.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
That's some serious allocations is you know, it waters down
real stuff, right, It's like it's like when women accuse
men of stuff and it's bs. It waters down the
real victims. But it's not cool, you know, So it's
it's never a good look.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
So geez. And by the way, I do got some lettuce.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
Look at this.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
I didn't cull my hair today. I woke up late.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Kids aren't in school today. So you know, when your
alarm doesn't go off and you actually sleep, roll out
of bed, let's go. So give everyone your dilemma, because
I think you're in a pickle. You told everyone it's
a wonderful life's the best.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Well, they brought up we should watch a holiday movie tomorrow,
all right, elf?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, and that's where their mind was we could watch
Daddy's Home. Daddy's Home too, Buzzy's girlfriend friend. So I suggested,
how about It's a Wonderful Life. You guys ever see it?
And they none of them had seen it? And I

(06:52):
was like, shot, but how is that possible?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Because I don't dude, you got me, I don't know, but.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Younger than me. But I blame the parents. I don't
blame them because how did they miss it?

Speaker 6 (07:05):
Well?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Again, I wasn't alive when his film was made, but
uh I was.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
I suggested it, and then I realized, like, wait a second,
They're like, oh, no, Steve really wants us to watch it,
Like no, no, no, no, no, hold up, hold up, hold on,
I'm not saying I don't want all that pressure on
me because I got a feeling now they're gonna hate it,
because you ever try to watch something with your kids
or younger people and it means a lot to you.
And then they're like on their phone the whole time,
they're taking bathroom breaks and they don't care.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
And oh the ultimate insult do you mean?

Speaker 2 (07:31):
The ultimate insult of someone gets up to go to
the bathroom and you say I'll pause it, and they're
like no, it's okay.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, And I don't want to, you know, subject them
to this holiday classic and then get a whole hum
response or them not really like it, or you know,
now they're making it like I vouched for it, and
like no, he really wants us to watch.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I'm like no, no, no, no, no. I have two points.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Number One, you brought up the classics that are more
modern day, like a Home Alone or Elf, even a
Christmas Vacation. Those are safer yet still slightly dated. Hm,
you played the Buzzes girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Wolf buys your girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
If you watch the making of that on the History Channel,
there's a great documentary about how Home Alone, that movie,
which is now by far, by Leaps and Bounds, the
most successful Christmas movie of all time by far, Home
Alone is by fall like Leaps and Bounds, Home Alone
the most viewed, the most watched, the highest streams. Like
Home Alone, your number one Christmas movie of all time,

(08:27):
had a hard time getting made because no one really
believed in it and they didn't want to insult a
young woman. So the picture of Buzz's girlfriend, isn't it
just buzz and drag?

Speaker 5 (08:39):
No dire son? Yeah, it's a son of somebody on
the set a wig.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, because they didn't want to insult a real girl.
That's hilarious. Oh yeah, Number it's really funny. Number two.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
That was a real tarantula, but he didn't scream because
apparently it's Trent may attack with a scream. So when
you see Marv scream when the tarantil is on his face, aha,
he's mouthing it and they put the scream in later
because when you scream a tarantill, a will dah attack
or something.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
There was a Kevin McAllister body double, but it was
like a little dude and you know when he's climbing
the bookshelf and it falls over and everything's actually just
a little dude.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Wait, it wasn't a kid who says, uh, bring me
back something French, because.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
They're supposed to be the same guy. Pretty much.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Take care it's a body double because uh mcaulay Culton
talks about it.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Number three. As I'm bringing out the Home Alone fun facts.
Do you see that they're around the country. They're doing
little Nero pizza shop pop ups. Yes, love it. That's
been a big thing this year. But when you think
about Home Alone, Cavino an Elf and vacation, and I
bring those up because they're more again modern day. I
know you don't want to pull love actually in there
because you hate.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
It, but don't forget Gremlins.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
I'm glad you said Gremlins energy. I feel like you're
reading my mind. I played the movie Gremlins for my
nieces and few, maybe like five ten years ago, thinking like, yeah,
this is a scary kids movie. You guys are gonna
love it. It was the worst movie I've ever seen
in my life. I remember loving Gremlin's Daddy and it
didn't They think you were like the lamest day, Like, oh, Rich.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
You're lame. Uncle Rich is the worst boo boom Uncle Rich.
And I'm like, guys, I promise. When I was the kid,
Gremlins was cool.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I watched Gremlin's Daddy and the whole time all I
was thinking was like, this sucks.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh my god, these kids.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I lost all credibility with my nieces and nephew and Kavino.
His girlfriend's in her thirties and her sister is younger.
Cavino's dealing with three people at are roughly thirty years
old that were born in the nineties it's a wonderful
life is gonna fall flatter than a weak pair of cheeks.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's gonna fall.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
I feel like you're gonna watch this and they're gonna
be dude. The lessons and the story are sort of timeless.
It's it's not a story about Christmas presents in Santa
and all.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's a story of life, you know.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
And I think that that is why it stands of
time and why it is still a beautiful movie. So
you know, like I could be way off too, Like
I think people watch this movie and a cry.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
I think it's sort of them was the luckiest man
in town. Let me give you an analogy, Danny G.
Were you a Star Wars kid grown up? I was saying,
you got Star Wars kids? Absolutely all right? I was
not so when I was like twenty, I had to
do the admission like, hey, you know around my buddy's
like yeah. To be honest, I never really watched Star
Wars watching it as a grown up. Too much time

(11:30):
has passed. It's not good, guys. It's great to someone
that loved them. It's great to someone that watched it now,
Danny G.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
It's true though, it's great to anyone that watched it through.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
You, but it rich doesn't have the force. Guys.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's true though, if you watch Star Wars for the
first time right now, you'd be like, this is not
that great. And I think It's a Wonderful Life falls
in the category of it's legendary.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
But time and place matters so much.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Every list has It's a Wonderful Life either number one
or at least top three of all time holiday classics,
just for intrigue, but just for the fact of watching.
From a cinematic perspective, you don't want to see what
was once considered a classic. And I'm not some crazy
old school movie buff. I'm just saying that this one
I thought was one that everybody It's like the Wizard

(12:22):
of Oz of Christmas movies, like, yes, you should see.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
It, just because of where it stands in our history.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
I feel like Covino, you need to preface it that
way with your family members so that they know you
know what they're about to get into. Somebody in the
chat also said, have everyone put their cell phones away,
and this is not a fast moving movie that's going
to take people's attention off their phones.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Followming a notice like you know, I don't want to
be the guy that vouched for it. In every slow part,
I'm feeling a little awkward, like I'm hoping they're still
entertained and liking it, you know, like you guys good.
I don't want that, but it does post this question
first of all, your thoughts on does it stand the
test of time?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
And you others that do or don't.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
You're gonna be five minutes to this movie and you're
gonna look over your girlfriend and she's gonna be like
bear bear chair, bear chair chair, Hey, you want.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Me to pause it?

Speaker 6 (13:16):
Now?

Speaker 1 (13:16):
We're good?

Speaker 2 (13:18):
She'll be making a video pretending to be John Ham,
that new trend like ah.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
So hold on.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
So based on that thought though, right, you actually can
tie it into sports because of course some of those
magical moments that we grew up with, I'm wondering if
they do stand the test of time, Like, can can
a kid today or a younger person today really sit
through a game or even a highlight or a moment
to really embrace like who bo Jackson was Like would

(13:46):
they even get a kick out of seeing him run
over Brian Bosworth? Can they sit through a Kirk Gibson moment,
or forget about a game even the moment, like does
it resonate at all? Or do their young eyes see
nothing but old timey time clips. I think, think all
these things, there's a real I'm gonna I don't want
to give the wishy washy answer of like depends is

(14:07):
there a fight, but that they could still watch today
and really be entertained by it.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
All Right, I'm gonna say this. There's it all does
is the gauge of what we find awesome. It's almost
like you got to tighten it up, like you gotta
be even more picky. Because as far as kids movies,
my kids loved Goonies, but there's other eighties and nineties
things that they're like me me, Me, Me Me, like
Goonies worked back to the Future. There's only a couple.

(14:32):
I started watching some eighties sitcoms one night, like, oh,
let me look at some of my childhood favorites, alf
Perfect Strangers, family matters. These all stink. I love them
as a kid, but they're not good. You know what
is good Golden girls married with children. There's things that
stand the test of time. And as far as sports go,
I do wonder if you showed a kid. Now show

(14:54):
some eighteen year old kids some college show.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
If you show the flu game Michael Jordan had his
best is a kid like snoring through that because it
looks old.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
That's the saddest I thought I ever had.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
I do wonder if you show some kids some early
Magic versus Larry Bird Danergy, are they like, Yo, this
is dope.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
It's funny you bring that up.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Because our oldest AJ who's in college, I tell them
stories about Magic Johnson and I put YouTube clips on.
I think it said like Magic Johnson's best plays of
his career, and about four or five clips in, my
son was like, oh cool.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
It didn't hit the way I thought.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
It was going to one on one Street ballers have
cooler moves nowadays that they see all over social media,
you know, but you have to realize, like, hey, but
for the time.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
But I think he was one of the only guys
doing and playing that. But I think we're still glamored
by Michael Jordan, I really do. I know so many
of my buddies whose kids will still watch like Jordan
Dunk's and we they hear their parents and everyone talk
about Michael Jordan like he's a god. I think Jordan goonies,
I'm telling you, in sports and entertain but a certain
things hit somehow.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
But I know rich because I'm trying to show them
Jordan clips as well. I think a lot of it
is the quality of the actual video.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
They grew up in four K.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
When you see these, it looks like somebody on an
older it does.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
It looks like somebody filmed this on an old Super eight.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Danny.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Oh, dude, I'm telling you their eyes are so trained
for higher quality just visually, they they are aggravated by
it and they can't even like focus on it. Dad,
I'm not even talking kids, I'm talking younger people.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
When uh, when.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Freddie Freeman hit the walk off in the World Series
Sorry Cavino Yankees two years ago, at that point was
a perfect time for people to show their kid. You know, hey,
why did the announcer you know what, what did the
great Joe Davis say? You know, Freddie, meet Gibby, give
me meat, Freddy whatever they call they call the great
call that you show a kid Kirk Gibson's walk off

(16:57):
against Eckersley.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
You have to think that moment's awesome.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh, if you're gonna say Tom for now the dugout
come on the SAME's gonna apply. If you say it's
a wonderful life. He's gonna put everybody to sleep. And
it's a classic that we still talk about from nineteen
forty six. These moments are gonna these these moments, they
they look lame and they look old to a younger person,

(17:21):
and it's just really sad.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'll be honest, real if you're a boxing fan, and again,
I'm not want to glorify the past. I want to
actually say we we out for to it. Hold on rich.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Every time you see an old clip of like Doctor
j or Early Kareem or anybody, you're like, yeah, but
look who they're playing against. Boring bunch of old, bald
white guys, right, and they're gonna look at these things
like yeah, these moves that I'm seeing kids kids on
YouTube have cooler moves like big deal, Like they're not impressed.

(17:52):
It's the same way you aren't impressed when you see
Bob Coosey highlight.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
You're you're a big fight fan and I watch all
the big fights with you. I'm I'm one that does
not glorify the past. I think we glorify the past
a little too much. But I've if you watched highlights
of let's say, Ropid Dope or so old school Ali
Hagler versus, like, a fight is still a fight, and
I think there's no way you could deny when you're

(18:16):
used to seeing some of these slow ass moving fights
on like Fight Night and some of the waste of
money pay per views over the last decade or so,
I think little.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Many pakiaw Versuan Manuel Marquez bro.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, like unless it's that like, I think you gotta
if you watch some old school Hagler, Hearns, Muhammad Ali Foreman,
some of these legendary fights, I still think of Fight's
a fight, dude, it's battle.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I think you could appreciate an old fight.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
I hope so man. So is this gonna fall flat
tonight or not? Other other moments you want to show
classics that ice will then what the hell stands to
test the time? This is one of the best movies,
one of the best Christmas movies, I should say, ever made.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I'm gonna pull I'm gonna bring up something that's twenty
years old because it seems like twenty years ago, seems
like a long time ago.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
But it's not.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
When we were kids, you would hear your dad talking
about Richard pryor George Carlin Dice Clay, and you'd watch them.
You'd think they're funny, but not as funny as maybe
your dad thought they were. Benny Hill, Do you think
a kid now would appreciate how much we all thought
Chris Rock was like the best in the nineties and

(19:23):
two thousands, like Bigger Blacker, Like do you think or
or some of those amazing specials. Do you think people
the envelope has been pushed so far and young people
are so desensitized, like they need constant stimulation. And that's
the goldfish attention span that social media has provided for
all of us, especially younger people. See like, we're in

(19:43):
a unique situation where we were fluent an old guy,
so we grew up with analog thinking and slow moving things,
so we're okay and accustomed to it, and obviously we're
fluent in fast moving social media stuff. Younger people don't
have that old school perspective bored. Yeah, That's why I
always say people that are roughly our age, if you're
in your forties, you have this unique perspective where you

(20:05):
could appreciate the old and the new. You're in a
weird pocket of like, yo, I remember the old, old
timy times, but I'm totally understanding like the TikTok, you know,
fast moving nature of how we consume things.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Now, you know what, Let's take your feedback.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
We got a lot of phone calls and messages coming in,
so hank tight your thoughts on sports moments and holiday classics,
like do these things hold up? Do they stand the
test of time? And we're also gonna play some Iron
Mike trivia. Speaking of old fights, I think you could
throw in an old Mike Tyson fight Carino and some
kid would be terrified at how ferocious Mike Tyson was.

(20:41):
I really do show the thathvberwe But remember when remember
when like Mike Tyson knocked out Trevor Berbick and the
dude fell up, He stood up and fell down three.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Times because he was so punch drunk. Of course, yeah,
I do. How is that not? How do you not
appreciate that?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
So we'll take your feedback, We'll play some Tyson trivia,
and we'll talk some morel I have thoughts going into
week seventeen eight seven, seven, nine, nine, on Fox. If
you want to be contestant, win a prize for Christmas again.
Eight seven seven, nine to nine on Fox.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Quick Time Out Holiday Upgrade check. Yeah, you to watching
that game on the old small TV. If you are,
you're seeing about half the game.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, you don't want to be the chump. You don't
want to be the lame o with the weekend jump.

Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski said quarterback Deshaun Watson will
not be active off the pup list. He will not
play in the twenty twenty five NFL season. It's kind

coach Aaron Glenn also announced Justin Fields will be placed
on injured reserve, ending his campaign with the New York
Jets and maybe putting his future with the organization in question.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Okay? I love you. I figure dating now you can

Speaker 3 (37:09):
You know now I mentioned super producer Danny g Rich
because he gives us a lot of great ideas and
he does a great job. We're very grateful for him.
This holiday season, he sent us this tweet Mark J.
Spears put out right, Mark J. Spears. It says, with
the NBA return on hold, Ben Simmons, no relationship to
your uncle rich Richard Simmons. Ben Simmons is angling for

(37:33):
success in pro fishing while working on a healthy comeback
to basketball. The three time NBA All Star is a
team owner in sport fishing championships. But the story basically
is Ben Simmons is putting NBA on hold to pursue
pro phishing.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, while he's getting back into NBA shape. Why not
do this because listen, if he's part investor and he's involved,
it's just interesting to think though that.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yeah, but that came out with the feedback is the
feedback is like this guy Frank Paslaqua says, chooses fishing
over hunting because we all know he won't shoot, like
you know, Yeah, there's a lot of punchlines as a result.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Of course, it does make you wonder though, like and
this goes for everyone, Danny g. You ever wonder like
what would you do if you aren't into music and
broadcasting and sports radio? Like we we all probably have
wonder to time, like, man, what would I do if
I didn't do this? And and you know, Ben Simmons
has a passion for fishing.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Good for him.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I think I think it's cool, Like you know what
I think is really an awesome story that Randy Johnson
is a photographer now, but.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Like a good one.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
I I love when I see people find other things
they love. We watched the Nolan Ryan by the way,
hold on, hold on, fun fact. You love fun facts, right?
Logo is the pitch is the pigeon he killed? Yeah?
I say it's like a like a like a dead
looking pigeon. I think it's uh. We saw the Facing
Nolan documentary. He seemed throughout his whole life as equally

(39:09):
interested as at ranching as he did a pitching.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Don't you agree?

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Yeah, hold on, I'm waving off iron Mike. He heard pigeon.
He started walking back into the studio. We're good, Mike,
We're good good. So yeah, it does pose that question,
and for me rich, just to keep it simple, I
often think about, you know, how blessed we are to
have found something we love, and that's radio and broadcasting. Honestly,
I felt like I was so good at the hustle

(39:35):
of making cash and I probably would still be waiting
tables or bartending, but I, you know, maybe not. I
could have also been like a Zohan of sorts because
I enjoy cutting hair like I was good at it,
so I would probably have taken that to higher levels.
What if you would have been one of those like
like Vic Blenz, Like Vic Blenz, I was gonna say,
like a social media superstar Barber. Yeah, like I think

(39:57):
I could have done that and made some good g
I was pretty good.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
I'm still pretty good at it.

Speaker 5 (40:02):
The comments are the best underneath these experience war the
troll toll says, I know he's not casting the line
from deep.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yeah. See that's a good one.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
You get a lot of that, a lot of that,
But no shame in having other interests. But it does
make you think if you didn't do what you did,
what would be your backup?

Speaker 1 (40:24):
And I the truth is. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
I just know that let's say we didn't get a
new deal rich, you know, I might have to resort
to some of that.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Stuffy and something to think about.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
We just talked about the Facing Nolan documentary worth watching anyone.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
I feel like tonight maybe do you watch in the
Lway one?

Speaker 6 (40:39):
Yet?

Speaker 5 (40:39):
I finish the Lway documentary really good a movie or
multiple parts. It's one one hour and a half. You know,
I think I'm gonna watch that tonight. We'll talk about
tomorrow when we fill in for Dan Patrick. Until tomorrow morning.
Have a great night or even there she maybe see
you in the Promised Land. Happy holidays later.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
