Speaker 1 (00:00):
What are we doing two cereals today or three? There
are only four cups, which math tells me means we're
only doing two cereals.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Nobody can hear you, Diamond. You know nothing about radio.
If you're gonna speak, get into a microphone. All all
these episodes, all I hear is don here's what I hear? Hey, Diamond,
do you want to be honest? That's all I hear.
You can't hear anything. You need to speak into a microphone.
Why don't you just so? Then you have to yell?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Okay, Scott, I'm yelling now. Are you happy?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Some boys watch sports, some boys play sport. Spot these
two don't play. These two boys will save them pennies
two by special kay, because they are living in a
cereal both reviewing cereals.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Is there goal?

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Scott and Andrew living and a cereal folk taking some
new ones and some oat.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
The problem with that intro is that we don't say
the name of the show. So what we don't say.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
While I was playing Diamonds like, we're not playing that anymore.
This is being cut. Yep, gotta go. It's Graham, all right,
Welcome to Serial Killers. It's episode fifty one. Yeah, here
we are fifty one. Yeah we are.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
You know Scott is looking extra snug in his Excel
T shirt today.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I was wearing a double Xcel yesterday. Did you see that?
I did? But there was an Abercrombie shirt. So that's
really like a medium who still shops at Abercrombie. Didn't
shop there, had in my closet for years.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, so at one point you shopped at Abercrombie. Yeah,
you actually shopped there. I still actually go in there
when they have like fifty percent off sales. All walk
fit into anything? No, no, no, why it's Abercrombie. It
smells like a young man in there, so you feel
like going in there, you absorb some of that.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, I guess I look cool. Children. Would you like
to see me in this forty dollars T shirt? Look?
Speaking of forty dollars T shirt, wait till you see
what I have coming. Oh? Okay, I ordered something yesterday
and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with it. Okay,
I'm ready. Yeah? Is it serial killer sweatshirts? It has
nothing to do with serial killers. However, it does have
something to do with what we've been talking about the

(02:11):
last couple episodes. Okay, anyway, so here we go, episode
fifty one. It's Serial Killers. I'm Scotty B. That's Andrew
over there. Hello. Hi.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
How's the Facebook page looking? It's going great? Yeah, we
were almost at one hundred likes.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I saw that, and I keep adding notifications that people
are interacting with us, and but nobody's talking about I
have to scheduled. Here comes this crazy British guy. Yes,
you couldn't have been Oh no, only recording. I mean,
you know the record lights on and you know we
only have the number twelve podcast. So get out there, britt. Okay,

(02:43):
I don't know what just happened. Only was he kissed
your face and now you have British goo all over
you a little bit? All right. I don't know where
we were, however, you know, let's what do you want
to do? Newer classic? How do you want to do classic? No,
let's start with the new great Okay, so this cereal
is very elusive to me.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Wait before we say in anything further, what our podcast
has not charted on iHeartRadio?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
How's that possible?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Serial Killers fans, this is a call out to.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
All of you. It's a call to action. You need
to share this with everybody.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
We need to make it to that chart because there's
other podcasts in the Elvis Rancho family did hold on?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
There's like two hundred and fifty thousand podcasts in the
heart radio. We're not anywhere? No, how is that possible?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
How are we not on the top one hundred. We're
getting over twenty five hundred listens a week on each episode.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Huh? How is that not adding up? Something's wrong. There's
something corrupt in the system. Someone is holding us back. Garrett, Yes, sabotage.
Sabotage because we haven't had him in here yet, so
I think he's doing something to the numbers. He must
have switched the algorithm on podcasts. Yes, the algorithm millennial.
All right, so I'm gonna go down.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
So just words and now aur millennial. That's algorithm is
just a millennial.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
You out, you millennials created algorithm. That's actually the dumbest
thing I've ever heard. Hold on a second, you know what,
since today when we're recording this is National Dicktionary Day,
let me look up algorithm and see if it's in
this dictionary from nineteen seventy five. I'm sure it is
because algorithms have existed for No. I'm sure. I'm sure
it is too, but it means something different. Trees. No,

(04:10):
it really doesn't. It does. Okay, I'm flipping through my
Doubleday Dictionary copyright nineteen seventy five that I got from
my parents' house.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
All I'm going to say is that you are a
chunk of people who vote.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
It makes all the sense in the world. Do not
blob me in with those people. Algorithms not even in here.
So Scott, it was invented by the millennial. Dude, let's
go five minutes in no cereal. Yet here we go.
I'm going that's your fault, not mine.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
To go back to what I was saying, if you
listen to this podcast, please share it with someone and
just have them listen. Literally, just have this on in
as many devices as you can so this way we
get all the streams.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Thank you. Okay? Cool? So this cereal I saw online? Yes,
and I was like, what is that? Yeah? This doesda
have phone down? Now to a millennial. Prove you wrong
on when algorithm? No, I know it's an old word.
I get it.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
That's a long history that can be traced back to
the ninth century.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Are there millennials in the ninth century? But people talk
about it now because it's a whole they talk about it.
It's a set of rules. That's what it. Technically an algorithm,
is I know list? Can we please eat? Yes? We can.
So I saw the cereal online and I was like,
what is that? It's very interesting and it looks delicious,
and it's a very elusive cereal. It's not easy to find.

(05:25):
It is from General Mills, even though it does not
say General Mills. Stop laughing at me.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
I can't, only because the word elusive makes you think
of the Mariah Carey album.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
That's a new word. I just came out with it.
I came out with elusive. It's new gen xers came
out with it. So it's only apparently available in Costco
stores or on Instacart. Okay, I use Instacart, I know,
because you're lazy. But I went to a couple of
Costco stores and they don't have it. I couldn't get
it at costco dot com. So I did find it
on Amazon. It's a little bit pricey, I will say that, however,

(05:56):
it's something that I felt like I must try Why
are you laughing? The box is so wide, the box
is so thick. This is a thick, hardboard box. It's
called Morning Summit and it is from General Mills lightly
sweetened maple berry blend cereal. And here's what's in this box.
It's almonds, cereal flakes with whole grains, dried cherries, dried cranberries,

(06:18):
and pumpkin seeds. I mean, it sounded so freakin' awesome
to me. It has a pole tab in the bog.
That's how hefty this box is. And almonds are the
first ingredient. Almonds. That's a lot. There's a lot of
almonds in here.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I have to say half of these cereals are just
trail mixed.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Then you're right.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Don't pour milk on it and tell me, okay eat it,
because it's it's very hard to do all those.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Things at once. Ingredients almonds, whole grain wheat, organic maple syrup,
whole grain oats, sugar that's a pretty good. Uh, you know,
sugar's way down there. People who mountain climb like this cereal.
It's too heavy. You can't take this with you. Feel
this box? What are you doing, Morning Summit?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Why hold on listen to this, listen to this.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Stop it was really expensive.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
It sounds like a brick.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
That boxes a lot of tab It has a pole
tab to open it. That's how extreme.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Way Brody, this is the biggest box of cereal I've
ever seen.

Speaker 6 (07:14):
Do you remember that SNL bit called colon blow?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Right, this is gonna you should call what a toilet?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I'm not letting you open it. I wanted to pull
the tab.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I want to write, by the way, is it okay?
We're here?

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Okay, how would Lewis Capaldi eat it?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
You pull the jab? All right? Seriously, we gotta go. Hey,
I want you to rewrite spoon Man for us because
we need that as a theme.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
Said that Greg t can complain that it isn't like
my parodies. I'll do poon Man Got a problem.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
And get your spoon on?

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Oh yeah, oh I love that. Get your spoon on,
Get your spoon on.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
So next week, next week, we're gonna have a new
opener written by David Brody.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
Okay, I will write the songs, but I need some
more s'mores cereal and special K chocolate.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
If that's what it costs, you got it?

Speaker 7 (08:04):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well, it's hard to pour this because the box is
so big.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Where did you find this cereal?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well? I was just telling people in design I bought
it on Amazon, but it was only available Costco and Instacart.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
How did you find out about this?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I saw it online. It's a General Mills cereal, but
they don't really promote it at all.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
The almond on the box looks like a shrimp. It
looks like they're shrimp like almonds.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I love.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I've never seen a box of cereal that why and hefty?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, you know that almonds are the first ingredient.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Then you know diamond? Shut up back there.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
You know you're a large because.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
You can't eat any of that.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Second, can she be in the room. There's a lot
of nuts in this. Stop playing Stop he's blowing nuts
at her.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
That sounds wrong, nut, guess right, that sounds worse. One
percent Cumberland Farm milk still not sponsored.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Still no milk sponsor. I almost feel like this doesn't
need milk. This is trail mix. This is trail mix,
but I'm so for it. I'm most excited for the
dried cherries. There you go, ready? Two three? This is
thick with two Seas Hwy. This isn't Cereal trail mix,

(09:16):
trail mix granola. Hello.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Oh, he's getting a call from Elvis. Hey, you're doing
a podcast.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Tell them Millennial.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
I'll do it. I'll sit in an answer seat. Hold on. Okay, wait,
can I say that this.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's a delicious snack.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's actually really good.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
There are a whole almonds in here.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
It's delicious. But I wouldn't put milk in it. I
would just eat it like as handfuls in the car driving.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
He's really good, but we have to rate it as
a cereal though.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Well, now, as a cereal, I wouldn't. It's really good.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I wish it was more widely available. I couldn't find
it everything.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Okay, okay, I took your spot for a minute.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's okay, cher same.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
We really like this.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, I'm not a big fan. I'm gonna get all
the box catchings. Box catches. Yeah, that's what we call
the pieces that fall out. Uh uh, you know, I
don't like it. Here's a problem though, rating it as
a cereal verse rating it as a snack. I'm going
to give it four balls in a spoon. I think

(10:15):
it is delicious. That's a little much. No, No, I'm giving.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
It four balls in a spoon too. It's really good.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
It just gets three balls. Max. Max is still here,
shut up?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Is good in yogurt? Yes, and put some strawberries on top.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
There's a picture on the box Creame. I could do that.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, I'm going to order that on Amazon. I think.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Wait, you see how much it is? Twenty dollars a box. No,
I don't know. We're raising though. Well now, I don't
want to disappoint you, Andrew. I don't care. I don't
care about Andrew. I just don't want to disappoint you.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
No, I'm never disappointed. It's cereal. I love Cereal.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
What are you looking for? Millennial on your phone? Can
you just stop him cutting this out?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Do you know Scott didn't know that the word algorithm?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
That is not true. I know algorithm has been a
word forever. I just know that people, you idiot millennials
use it now talking about when you go into podcasts
and the algorithm is blah blah blah blah blah. He
is a grumpy old man, that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Don't be nice. He started it you already? Did you
started it?

Speaker 7 (11:10):
All right?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Don't you're gonna spill that milk. Be careful.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I'm trying to find out that every minute of that
because he would scream so loud.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Garrett just appeared in the window and gave me the
dirtiest look ever.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Because he's not allowed on the podcast. He's so mad
because he can't. Oh my gosh, could you imagine if
he just had that cereal we just had? Forget about it?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Does granola have gluten? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm sure something in that.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
High school true. All right, so here comes the classic cereal.
I don't know what year it came out, but I
know it's been around for a while. Great, it's another
Checks variety. I love Checks. Sorry, Danielle, there's no chocolate
in this one.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Okay, what is it?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Diamond? Can't eat it? Honey, not check? Yay? Yeah, finally,
I can't wait.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I'm so excited.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Why did you say finally? Because you guys are always
like you don't like what I take out?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Well, I like what you take out. When your wife.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Doesn't like what you take out, No, she loves what
I take out.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
By the way, this is my right now. Will be
my fifth bowl of cereal for the morning.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
I've had a cereal today too.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I've been all I've been doing is eating cereal.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh, he had a full breakfast sandwich. After he had
a breakfast sandwich, he had two full bowls of cereal.
He had two of the croissant sandwiches.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I had raised a nut brand. I love that story, man.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
I had a croissant sandwich. I had a bowl of
berries with whipped cream. Then I had three bowls of cereal,
then the one you just gave me, and now the
next bowl.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh look, Garrett just popped in and he can eat this.
It's gluten free. I was gonna ask, what time do
you need me? Right now?

Speaker 5 (12:41):
We just ate a cereal that if you had, you'd
be going too.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
It would not be good.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
That's the way anaphylectic is. The is the allergy one, right,
that's a newer people didn't need it. It's a millennial.
Or oh wait, hold on, hold on, Oh my god,
this man is the sound effects. I can't. It's the
stupidest thing. Let me tell you.

Speaker 7 (13:01):
I had the good Belli probiotics one the other day,
the peanut butter crunch.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
That's good stuff. The thing works, Oh really it works?
How it works?

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Oh my gosh, honeynut checks are so good?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Did you just sneak one?

Speaker 3 (13:13):
I did? Look, Look, you can make checks mix? Oh
the other cereal that you just gave us in a
bowl with checks? That would be good.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Do you need your own podcast? That cereal cereal remix?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
That's fine, that's an offshoot of the successful one.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
What's it called when you do another show off? Yeah?
Because I mixed this morning.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
I mixed frosted flakes, chocolate checks and those peanut butter
puffs and it was delicious. And Scotty yelled at me
because he said, I can't be that cerealists.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
That man all right, honey nut checks. He talks from
General Mills already one? Do you think?

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Five?

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Both totally? Its more like a three and a half
four ball.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Garret delicious, Diamond, can you have this?

Speaker 7 (14:01):
It's very plain you can't have gluten free checks.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
No, I think I'm gonna quit as the executive producer
of the Serial Killers podcast.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
It seems like you quit months ago. You don't do crap.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Diamond is also getting her own spin off, Serial Allergies.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yes, that'll only be two episodes long.

Speaker 7 (14:19):
They don't eat anything. She just talks about stuff that
she wish.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
I like this box. It's colorful. Yeah, three balls and
a spoon for me for honey, nut checks five five
and a half. That's three balls in a spoon. Garrett,

Oh, I keep getting spam calls. I won't stop getting
spam calls.

Speaker 2 (14:51):

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Nobody has. How does one make a lemon cluster? I
don't know, but we're about to find out.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
And you have this one, not diamond, because are you
allergic to blueberries?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
I think I am too gotty?

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Do people pick? You can hear her on the microphonetion, No, I.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Can't hear anything, so that every time she talks is
just gonna be like nothing and then I got to
edit everything out. She creates more work for me.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Lemone, blueberry lemone.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
It smells like a candle, like I would like this
as a candle. I think.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Let me throw out the cups.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
To get my spoon.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
This is a cluster.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
You know, you know there's a mom in the room
when she's throwing out the bowls before we're done with
the episode, Can I have a lemon cluster?

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Stop? We have to try it.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Don't even don't put that in your mouth. I'm not kidding.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Okay, wait, wait, wait, they're lemon flavored, so.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
That means whatever it is, it's a turgent.

Speaker 7 (16:24):
It could be because it has tangy sweetness areas like
tasted one.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
No, no, no, don't, don't don't pre uh here.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Maybe you have to eat it with everything.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Now I have to go back and change everything. What
do you want? What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (17:02):

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Know how terrible it is that they don't there?

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Oh, here's one. Know what it tastes like. But the
cluster tastes like candy cigarettes. When's the last time you
had candy cigarettes? Very recently? I candy cigarette, That's what
That's what the cluster tastes like. Did you like the
come when you took it and power came out? Or
do you like to the gum? Who had We never
had that? You had a particular smoke, Yeah, and you
blow powder out of it and then you chew the gum.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
You were probably so straight edge that you were like, guys,
don't smoke around me.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
You're an asshole, because I'm right, I used my bake
candy cigarettes.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
That's the way to go.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Six six bowl of cereals today. Well, I am going
to be in the athroom all day.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
My apologies. The flakes are not very crunching because I
brought it in an expired box three balls. They still
do make it, though, so you can I.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Don't really think the exploration date means much on cereal?

Speaker 2 (17:58):

balls in a spoon don't love it though? The clusters
is Do they still make this? They do? I just

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.
