Did you see my latest picture of my grilling that
I tweeted out? It was much I thought it went
better anyway, But some of the responses on my grilling
once again, we're I'm not charitable. I'm not a huge
fan of grilling, this person said, but I enjoy it
more when I get to stand up at the grill.
Why don't you drop a couple hundred bucks and buy
(00:20):
a grill that doesn't require to get on your knees
to flip a burger? Love you, but that grill is
an embarrassment to your entire family.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, if you're new to this discussion, Jack is an
alleged man, allegedly of the heterosexual variety who hates grilling.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, I hate it. I don't want to be good
at it. I wish i'd never have to do it again.
And I'm terrible at it. And I do have a
really crappy grill, which I think plays a role. As
somebody responded last week saying, why do you grill like
a runaway teenager or meth head? And this person said,
did the other folks under the bridge like the food?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
So I played golf over the weekend and in the
bar the men's grill. We're hanging out afterward, a buddy
of mine who's he listens to the show, follows us
on Twitter. He said, Hey, by the way, that was
that was your partner, right, not you with the grill thing.
I said, what are you kidding? No, that was Jack,
And everybody's like, what are you guys talking about? And
(01:16):
I explained that you hate grilling and you're terrible at it.
And the consensus around the table, and it was eight guys,
was that if a friend came to me and said,
you know, I like to kill the cats in the neighborhood,
it would be a similar level of I don't know
you as if somebody said I hate grilling and I
can't grill, which which listen, I'm more than willing to
(01:39):
kick you for sport. It's one of my greatest pleasures.
Like but but it's kind of interesting that people reacted
that strong. I know, I mean, there was a wink
and a nod in a sense of humor about it,
but it's it says something.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I'm just wondering what your Why you must put the
utensils on the ground like your spatula is on the ground,
the thing you clean the grill with also on the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
What where should it be?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Why not any literally anywhere, but not on the ground, right,
I don't have a.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Table or I don't have any This may be why
you get sick Jack.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, I mean there's no because there's there's a plate
right next to the spatula.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Put the other people under the bridge enjoying the food.
That's the perfect comment. I'm looking at the picture now.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, wow, Yeah, it does look like I'm on the lamb.
I'm gonna beat up a ARV and I've got a
meth habit, no family or friend.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm gonna get you a grill. I'm gonna come to
your place and assemble it.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
And i'm gonna get you a fold out table, and.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I'll kick in and get a twelve dollars table. Oh,

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.
