It's nine geneengine with Jenny Garth and Tory spelling. It's
that time of year, the holidays.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Are you excited? I am? You love it this year? Though?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
You say that every year. Everyone says that every year, though.
It's so true, but faster and faster. It used to
start like right after Thanksgiving. Now it starts right after
Halloween and then all of a sudden, Yeah, there's no
time left. You're like five days away.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Wait, so I'm not alone? You feel sway, but you're
a planner.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
No, no planning, no, no, no, I'm not been a
good planner. I haven't done my Christmas shopping nothing. I
feel like I loved about you though I remember it
might be an annual thing that you on Christmas Eve
actually go out and go shopping. You know, these are
like I've got nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I have to go out every year.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I mean the cupboards are bare, like, the shelves are
all taken.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
And I've taken vamel Like, why they're nothing here because
it's Christmas Eve? Dummy? So again, I'll do that same thing,
so you will.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
What if you got ahead of it, like.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Just too late? Now? Right? Next year? Sure?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Okay, okay, well we'll try.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
We'll try.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
What do you have any plans though for Christmas? Special
going anywhere?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
We're gonna cook dinner and hang.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Out here are you making a beef brisket?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Am I going to beef some brisket? So I decided
this year I'm gonna make lamb chops. Really sends you
over the edge? Wow, that sounds glicious. Well, panty frills.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh you like the little leg things they put on
the jelly disgusting?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well what are you doing? Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well, my house is in the middle of like construction.
I don't know what's happening. So everything's a mess and
it doesn't feel like Christmas. We have our Christmas lights up,
but it doesn't really the trees up, but it doesn't
really feel like Christmas because there's like so much going
on that's not holiday related. It's just like life related.
So we'll just be together. I think, not going anywhere
(02:25):
this year, not going skiing this year.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You always go skiing, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Not this year though, because I have a new.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I have a new.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
House mate, a new new mate coming in, so we
got to kind of figure out how that's going to
play out. And see, my mom is moving in so
she's fifty four. Nope, that's not right. She's eighty four.
I'm about to be fifty four.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Ooh. And I couldn't do math, but I just trusted you.
I was like, really, well, she's so young.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I would be so happy if my mom was fifty four.
So we're just going to kind of play at chill
and everybody, you know, settle in and see how it goes.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I was just saying last week that you're finally an
empty nester and then starting over again.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, two days countdown to a circle of life. Yes,
so it's gonna be good whatever it is. I'm just
gonna co into it with a really positive attitude and
I love it. Yes, but it's it will, I think inevitably,
like once the business shuts down, the business. When the
business shuts down and you have those few days of
(03:34):
like no correspondence, you don't have to answer emails, and
then you start baking a little bit. Maybe that's when
the holiday feels come in for me. So it's like
the twenty second hopefully.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, Oh my gosh, you're such a good baker. What pies?
What pies?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Oh? I don't think I got pies in me. This year,
what I think. No, can't do it. Okay, I'm gonna
make cookies, cookies. You know I love your cookies too,
cut out cookies. Gotta make those every year, or it
just doesn't feel like Christmas.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Am I right?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What's one thing you have to make every year?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh? Or just doesn't feel simple? It's those thumbprint cookies
that and you put the chocolate kisses where you send
doona loves every year. Oh my gosh. And when I
was pregnant, depending on which child I was pregnant, like
during the holidays, I would make like patches of them
(04:35):
because I would be eating them.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I want to do that this year.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Goodness, Well, whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Is happening at your house, there's one thing for sure.
We wish you guys are very, very very Christmas. Yes,
happy Hanukkah, do waldie all the things.
Speaker 2 (04:58):

but it's like happy Mary Holidays, joyous, joyous joy to
the world.

new episode next year. Oh gosh, remember when you were like,
go away, when we would finish the show for the
year and we wouldn't. We would be gone for the
rest of December and we wouldn't come back till January.

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.
