Speaker 1 (00:16):
Hello, and welcome to my favorite murder the minisode. That's right,
stop arguing, because it's real. We told you, we said
we were going to do it. Listen, please listen, give
us the benefit of the doubt. Now go. Okay, now that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We've just berated them, they like it. This is called
family drama. Bloody handprint. Hi, day seven listener. Here, A
longtime dreamer of writing a hometown but I never felt
I had the right story. Wait, I don't know day's
episode seven or day seven, like seven days after we
(00:51):
released the first episode.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't know. It sounds like literally, I've been listening
for seven days and I've dreamed of writing an email forever.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Okay, we were both on the other sides of the Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't think mine's right though. I just think it's funny.
That would be very funny. Today.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You asked for family drama, and I come from two
large Catholic families and started thinking through all the family
lore and shenanigans. Could I tell you the story about
dangling my little cousin down the second floor laundry shoot oh,
or about the island my family used to own in
Pittsburgh until they squandered away all of their money and
(01:26):
it was seized by the government. Yeah, nope, it has
to be the bloody handprint on my grandparents' basement wall.
When I was growing up, my grandparents lived in a
split level home read lots of stairs, and the lowest
level was a cement basement. I was down there one day,
probably trying to find their grumpy cat Mo, when I
(01:47):
noticed something on one of the cement walls. I looked
a little closer and thought it faintly looked like a
brownish colored handprint, obviously faded with time. Later that day,
in the car, I asked my dad, Hey, is there
a hamd print on the basement wall at grandma's house.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, that's from when your great grandmother died. Uh what Yep.
Here's the story. My dad and his family of eight
moved from Pittsburgh to Ohio when he was a kid,
and his grandmother moved with them. It was a tight
fit with everyone in the house, and my great grandmother
wasn't great with stairs or fully understanding where she was
(02:24):
in the new house. She slept in the lower level.
One night, she must have woken up and needed to
go upstairs to the kitchen, but got confused and went
to the cement basement stairs instead. She fell and hit
her head. At some point she touched her bloody head
and then touched the wall, leaving the infamous bloody handprint.
(02:44):
It is exactly yes, it is exactly what you think
and think it's going to be Jesus Christ. She did
not die there on the floor, but she was not
found until the morning and was taken to the hospital
where she died later. That's just a straight up try
should be doing. This story is a question.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Let's see if they have a point. Let's see if
we're going to get someone. I mean, the hamprint remains
to this day.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I think is the point that all our families are
fucking morbid and weird and we just go along with
it like everything's fine, right.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What would have been the problem with going down and
rinsing that handprint.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Off, rinsing painting over it. Thanks for all you do
and share. This podcast has dramatically impacted the way I
see the world and myself. And though my husband is
not a listener, he doesn't need to be because I
literally retell him every single episode. Stay Sexy and dig
deep for those family stories because everyone's got them.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, that's true, Beth, Beth good point.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I think that's the point is like everyone has a
bloody handprint from the great grandmother in the basement wall.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, that for some reason no one is taken care of.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, and you have to ask about before they'll tell
you about it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
They'll let you, as a child, wander down and do
a dark in basement and discover it yourself, right, and
not be like we want to keep that there as
a remembrance, yeah, or anything.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's just like, hey, go find it. It's like write
a passage. Okay, you know, I'm a stick I am
sticking with it. I am what is it sticking by?
You're standing by it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I'm standing by it. Nice stand by your email. Yeah,
I mean I like it. Yeah, it's a very good point.
It is. It's a little Brene Brown of like that
idea that we're all supposed to be ashamed because we're
not perfect, right, when in fact we all have we
all have all these things. Yeah. Okay. The subject line
(04:34):
of this email is you fucking debunked my hometown legend
question mark exclamation point, and that says hi, there, K
and G. This is usually the part when someone says
longtime listener, first time writer. However, I'm breaking the mold.
I started listening to MFM in February twenty twenty four
and have been breezing through multiple episodes a day. Shout
out to my friend Maria for getting me hooked, and
(04:56):
to Karen for recommending I skipped the first one hundred.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I don't remember that because it was back when we
were fucking just blabbing, saying all kinds of horrifying shit.
But we're just like so many episodes. There's so many episodes.
In the beginning, it was just two gals recording.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
A hang having no idea what was happening. But there
was a fucking title wave. But now we're doing rewind episodes,
so you can listen to those. Instead of going back
to the first one hundred, you can listen to the
rewind episodes.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Sweet ass plug.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
This was pre rewind episode, sure, and I was just
giving people advice to skip stuff. She wasn't wrong, all right.
Then this person writes, I'll get there eventually. Now you
don't have to rewind episodes, okay. In episode eight forty three,
Karen covers the Hammond, India and a circus train three
(05:56):
for no, not even close. In episode four sixty three,
I don't There's no way I am that off, Like,
what's my brain telling my mouth that I said? Eight
forty three?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
This is our podcast and nothing has changed from the
first one hundred to to now.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's also the one hundred actually not that different.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
From wedding was in the beginning.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You're just in the fourth one hundred, right, okay. In
episode four fifty three, Karen covers the Hammond, Indiana circus
train crash and mentions Showman's rest at Woodlawn Cemetery, where
the victims of the crash were buried. Woodlawn Cemetery is
in my small hometown of Forest Park, Illinois. I've been
considering writing this writing in this hometown ever since I
(06:37):
started listening, But the story I grew up hearing is
a bit different. The town legend originally stated that the
crash happened in Forest Park and that the only victims
were for circus elephants in Forest Home Cemetery. In Forest
Park there are four large hills at each corner of
the cemetery. The legend had it that the hills were
(06:58):
actually the graves of those elephants. You're saying legend, I'm saying,
was it your uncle who was just kind of like
bored and telling you a story? Legendary uncle? So the
most legendary uncle of Forest Park, Illinois my new screenplay.
The story seemed so far fetched that even hearing it
(07:19):
as a first grader, it never really made sense. I
was thrilled to hear the real facts of the story
in the latest Spooky Halloween episode and felt an immense
sense of pride knowing that there was at least some
truth to our small town's legend. Forest Park is a
blue collar village just outside of Chicago that is only
two square miles and is the home of three cemeteries.
(07:41):
Part of the legend is that Forest Park held the
world's record for the highest ratio of dead people to
a live people. But I'll leave that to you two
experts to debunk Daily City, Daily City or Colma, Right,
which is the real I mean, all cemeteries, if you
got really competitive with Illinois where we're like, I think
(08:03):
that belongs to Okay, thank you both so much for
being real as shit all the time. We can't help it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, it's a crutch.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You've inspired me to start therapy and become sober all
in nine months of listening.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
God, it's taking me nine years and I'm fucking only
on one.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Of those things. Also, this is bullshit, Like this sounds
like someone it's like write in this email to make
them feel better. It's really changed my life. Double thumbs up. Yep.
You are both very special to me and I can't
wait to see where the next year of listening takes me.
And then parenthesesa says more than likely to the first
one hundred episodes. Stay sexy and check your hometown facts
(08:48):
and dead to a Live Ratios.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Raylan she here, Raylan, I feel touched.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I'm truly touched.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I feel that was touching and I feel touched.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It's funny because we keep on making jokes right where
we shouldn't when people are being touching with us.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It's because we can't handle vulnerability.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It doesn't feel great humor. Cover it all up with humor. Okay,
this one's called the balloon Priest. Yet you read that right.
He would be friends with Lawnchair Larry. It's a whole
subqu Hi.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Karen Georgia an MFM team. I have a hometown that
will match Karen's story for Lawnchair Larry, And it comes
all the way from Brazil.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
The Balloon Priest a tale equal parts inspiring, bizarre, and
undeniably tragic. The year was two thousand and eight, and
on April twentieth, Father Adelier Antonio Dicarli, or as he
became known, the Balloon Priest, took flight from a city
in the south of Brazil's attached to one thousand helium balloons.
(09:54):
Father Adeler's mission wasn't just about grabbing attention. He had
a purpose in mind. His goal was to raise funds
for a rest area and chapel for truck drivers where
they could take a break from the road, recharge, and
find spiritual comforters.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
That's so specific. I know it's for like maybe it's
a cultural I know it could be. And also I
know that truck drivers are exhausted all the time and
actually probably really need that. But it's like usually orphans.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Children in a far away Yeah, children are hungry, but
how about let's think about the truck drivers. They're also
hungry and tired, and they need a spiritual comfort. But
to accomplish this, he decided to break the record for
cluster ballooning and nake it all the way to the
state where his brother lived. It was both audacious and outrageous.
People couldn't look away. Adelier even went through jungle survival courses,
(10:43):
parachute training and packed a GPS parachute and five days
worth of food and water on what are they about
to tell us?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I don't know, packed on his back, I guess so.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The only problem he didn't know how to use the GPS.
After taking off and reaching a dizzying nineteen thousand feet
and it says way higher than planned, he was heard
frantically saying, quote, I need to figure out this GPS
or no one will know where I am end quote.
It was a detail only our priest could overlook. But
(11:15):
to his credit, he tried valiantly to reach the coast
Guard before his phone battery died. Unfortunately, by the time
he called in his position, he was far off course
swept out over the ocean.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh No.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Despite efforts by the Navy, Air Force and even a
plane rented by his family, hope faded. Months later, in
July two thousand and eight, the lower half of a
body was found floating off the coast of Rio de Janeiro,
five hundred and twenty two miles away from where he
took flight. DNA tests confirmed it was Father Adelier closing
(11:48):
this chapter in his Remarkable journey.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
God, that's sad.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And then it says jump to twenty thirteen. A pop
country duo drops a dancing track that's skyrockets to the
top of the Brazilian charts and as everybody dancing to
it in nightclubs and social events. I am going to
leave you with some of the lyrics from that song,
The sun is blazing, it's past noon. I'm not leaving.
No one's moving me soon.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I found my.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Car in the pool outside, and my phone's in the microwave.
Fried DJ's crazier than the balloon writing priest SSDGM Sam
she her So now he's like a pop culture legend.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yes, like, my life's so crazy. It's crazier than the
balloon writing priest. God, I'm just staggered at It was
two thousand and eight. Yeah, so it's like this idea.
There were people nearby, and there was computers nearby and
things that could have helped, Yes, like a GPS. Fucking look,
(12:48):
just learn it. That was like me getting that fucking
car and then getting into it and being like I
don't know how to drive this car.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, but a GPS isn't going to steer you, you
know what I mean? Like, I don't think learning the
DPS would have helped it all. Think maybe something to
say something better, Yeah, decision walking, Well this is like
a long walk to raise money?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
How about yeah, exactly, let's keep it on the ground.
And also I think with lunch Larry's story, it's just like,
do we all need to be told often that you
can't control balloons?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
And they just go like, how many decades apart do
we need to learn this lesson?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It shouldn't be that close. I don't know, like two
thousand and eight, it seems like we're due. Hey, hey everybody,
if you have some sort of plan to get a
bunch of balloons. The balloon Boy, remember the balloon Boy
was fake though? Yeah, yeah, that was that was tragic
actually because that was weird stage parents, yes, putting their
child at the center or something. It was. I feel
(13:46):
like the way America reacted to Balloon Boy, it was
all like oh no, look away, take away, Oh no,
this isn't good. Yeah, it's very sad. Oh anyway that Yeah,
you interrupted my great announcement. Hey, if you were thinking
of raising money or just going on a trip with balloons,
don't do it. You won't be able to control them.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
This is our public service announcement talking, don't.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Do it, fucking v end listen. Okay, we'll work on
that public service announcement. We'll do another one that star
that's more effective. Okay, this is funny sibling story. Hey, ladies,
love what you do. I'm the youngest of three daughters,
and growing up I always wanted to do whatever my
sisters were doing. It was hard for them because I
was so much younger and they really wanted nothing to
(14:29):
do with me. My oldest sister, Kaylee, came up with
a game for us to play, for us to play
together that was a good compromise for everyone, called Servant
and Princess. From the title, you can probably guess how
it went. Kaylee would be the princess and I would
be the servant, doing whatever she asked me to do.
In return, I would get a quarter as a reward
(14:51):
for all my work. I loved this game and I
would ask her to play it with me as often
as she would allow if her friends came over, even
better for me because I got to play with the
big kids and would have more princesses to serve im.
That's so sweet. I look back and laugh at how
funny and brilliant she was for coming up with this
game where she got catered to all day. Yeah, and
(15:11):
I felt included and loved the time I got to
spend with her. Now that we're all grown up, we're
very close and I feel lucky to have her as
a sister, even though we didn't really get along for
the first eighteen years of my life. Isn't that every
sister story?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, you're best friends and then you fucking hate each
other more than you've ever hated anyone.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, and then you're best friends the next day. Yeah,
and then it just says thanks for all that you do, Tori.
That's cute. Did you see that one?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Like there's like a TikTok video of like the older
sister she's probably like ten, telling her your little sister
exactly how to ask her for what she wants. Yeah,
and it's you know at the no, you may not
that little sister so triggered by that as a little sister.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I mean and my big sister sent it to me
like this is my favorite, and I this second because
I knew you know it's coming.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Say please blah blah blah blah blah, please may I.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
No, you may not, No, you may not like the
girl and she makes her do it a couple of
times and keep suggesting it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And do it perfectly. Okay, little sisters head.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
It's the funniest. And also they just they're always going
to do that to you over and over and then
it's like, oh, the little the youngest ones are always
so wild. It's like we're being mentally tortured on a
daily basis.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
All we want is attention, and you've taught us that
any kind of attention, whether it's good or bad, is positive, right,
because that's all we get.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
It's all we get, and it has to be earned.
So we're starting a podcast. So here's this fucking podcast
and we will have it.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's your fault, Laura and Liah, it's your fucking fault.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
This is called an absolute child hero.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yes, hi, it's me, the child hero. It's me.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
For the past twenty four years, I've had a thin
white box in the bottom of my jewelry box. Inside
is a bronze medal attached to a red, white and
blue ribbon fastened to a pin.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
George Washington's bust is under the words good Citizenship Award.
In two thousand, I was given this medal, interviewed by
a local news station, and got my name in the paper.
This is the story of how I helped to save
my teacher's life. Holy shit, I love this. I remember
watching a movie about penguins. All desks were pushed to
(17:30):
the sides in my second grade classroom, and all the
kids were sitting huddled together under the TV in the
dark picture. Miss Hill was at her desk behind us.
I got up from the floor and asked her if
I could go to the bathroom. She said there was
another student out, but when they returned, I could go.
About ten minutes later, I got up to ask again.
This time, when I approached Miss Hill's desk, she was
(17:51):
not there. As I got closer, I saw her sprawled
out on the floor. Miss Hill was wearing glasses and
the reflection of the movie was playing on them. Oh,
I could not see if she was conscious. I slowly
and quietly got closer to her until I could see
her eyes were closed. My heart was beating so fast
and my chest felt on fire. I decided I needed
(18:12):
to tell the most in charge adult in the school,
the principal, mister Johnson.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I remember running down the hallway to get there. I
made it breathlessly to the front office. The secretary asked,
what do you need? I responded, Miss Hill is sleeping
on the floor and she won't wake up. She stood up,
opened mister Johnson's office door behind her, and repeated what
I said. Like a superhero. He popped up and started running.
When he got there, he turned on all the lights,
(18:38):
scared the shit out of my second grade class, and
immediately started performing CPR. The paramedics were called and all
kids were ushered into another room for the rest of
the day. I went home and did my homework as.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Usual, not sharing the events of.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
The day with anyone, and those fucking the principal and
the secretary, they were just like, thanks so much for Yeah.
It wasn't until mister johns And called my mom that
night and told her what I did that I realized
it was important. I remember my mom with her ear
to the phone, tears streaming down her face just staring
at me. It turns out Miss Hill suffered cardiac arrest
(19:13):
at the age of fifty. Oh no, due to the
quick action of mister Johnson and the paramedics, she made
a full recovery. If she had gone without CPR for
two minutes more, she would have had permanent brain damage.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Oh my god, for this kid's little bladder, for Bailey's
little bladder, and also just for hauling ass likes understanding,
don't stand there in freeze mode. Yeah, this is something's
off yeh.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Miss Hill was in the hospital for the rest of
the school year and retired that summer. She never taught,
nor did I ever see her again. I would, however,
get called down to the attendant's office every year on
the anniversary of the event. Miss Hill sent me letters
from when I was eight to eighteen thanking me for
saving her life. Oh. The last letter I received was
(19:56):
when I was a senior in high school. Miss Hill
writes her letters. She keeps up with her letters.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's lovely. The best part of the story.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I did some light stocking while composing this email. Miss
Hill is still alive, a beautiful woman in her mid seventies.
Her social media is filled with pictures of her children
and six grandchildren. Come on, well, that's how I peaked
at seven years old. Thank you both for creating the
podcast that created this community. At the same time, this
(20:25):
little girl helped to save a life. Finding a dead
body was on her bucket list and CSI was her
favorite show. Yeah, girl, I knew I wasn't the only weirdo. No,
stay sexy and look for the helpers, even the tiny ones, Bailey.
She hers.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Bailey, first of all, gorgeous intro of that email.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Like the structure of that story.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
M just to like, clearly you're way ahead of the
other second grade right, Like.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I'm opening with this thing I have and let me
tell you why I have it.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
The declaration though of like it's me, the child hero,
It's me. It's so good. But also, you didn't peek
at seven years old, Bailey. You just do the kind
of work that goes unappreciated all the time, which is
you are a logical, level headed thinker that probably is like, oh,
if you leave the dinner plans for your group of
(21:17):
friends to that person, they'll go where they want to go,
which doesn't have the right seating. You take over and
you're like, here we go, this is where we're going.
It's all going to work.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Maybe that was the first fucking instance of your badassory
and for the rest of your life. Now, yeah, you've
been on this trajectory.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You're just doing it. You're the day to day level
headed don't panic. Second greater that's grown into I'm assuming
a beautiful young woman. I am the Tiger Bailey right. Congratulations.
I wish I had a little ribbon, a little ribbon,
a rib with George Washington's bus on it. Do I say,
(21:53):
busts no bus, George Washington busting' on it bus?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Okay, last I got a look just now from Karen.
That means someone's gonna cry.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Someone Kid Pastimes playing in the sand A Strange Brother edition.
Hello from the Hellscape. That is the end of twenty
twenty four. Hi, Hi, No one's going to save us
but ourselves. Create genuine community, find your support system. I'm
reading an email right now, just so you know, I'm
reading from the first paragraph of this email. We're opening
up fucking BYRD and strong. They're coming in saying exactly
(22:29):
what needs to be heard. Create genuine community, find your
support system, give what you can and as the ever
fabulous Divine said, be twice as gay, do twice as
many crimes. A fuck, Yes, I love it. What an opening.
You asked us for stories of what we did growing
up to pass the time. My older brother is two
(22:50):
and a half years older than me. He would have
a toy gun and I'd have my water baby. And
then in parentheses it says a plastic baby filled with water.
What the fuck? Because it was like heavy could squirt
a baby like? Oh? I think it was like a well,
he had a water gun. Oh, a water gun. Sorry.
My assumption was that she would use that baby to
(23:11):
squirt water. But I think now that I reread it,
you're right. It's just a toy gun. It's not a
water gun. Toy gun. Let's keep going. I'll help you out, okay.
And sometimes the terminator would hang out with the barbies
in Rainbow Valley and then that says the stairs when
a crystal in the window cascaded rainbows all over the carpet.
(23:33):
But my favorite thing we did was play in the
sand patio out back. My dad was supposed to make
my mom a flagstone patio, and he finally hired someone
to do it. Only only forty some years after he promised. Consequently,
we had a huge sand pit. We would dig a
complex river bed. We stacked wooden logs for the spout
(23:53):
of the water hose as our water fell. Once the
stream was ready, my brother would run to the side
of the house to turn on the water. He'd run
back as fast as he could so we could watch
our creation come to life. Once we even brought crawdads.
We got at a real stream to put in hours,
only for them to burrow deep in the sand and
never be found.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh my god, Oh my god, that's my toes.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Hurt about that. Yep, good luck in your sand pit children.
My only sibling, my brother and I drifted apart as
drugs took over his life as a teenager, now addicted
and living on the streets. I haven't spoken to him
in a long time, writing in I'm struck by what
an amazing person he was. Most brothers would send the
little sister to turn on the water. He wanted me
(24:38):
to see it. Oh no, no, thank you for reminiscing
playing stream with me, as I can't do it with him.
Bigay do crimes? Anonymous, her, i'monymous, Come on, that's a
sweet one. Here's the thing, because seriously, the beginning of
(24:58):
that email is so smart and good and strong. Yeah,
and it's like, and this is I think those kinds
of memories and things are truly like the glue. I
feel like those kinds of reminding even when there's loss, Yeah,
there's beauty. That's why you miss him.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And there's still good memories even though like they're tainted
by this thing it sucks by loss, you can still
like share them with people and feel them and feel
good about them instead of just feeling sad.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's really sweet. Yeah, and it's the idea, Like it's
a great email anyway, but the idea of that they
get to understand that that's what their brother did for
them is so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I want hard to see it. It makes me think
of my brother because he would never have done that, as.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Sure my sister would have been like, get out of
the sand pit.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
And follow us show on Instagram and Facebook at My

Hello, and welcome to my favorite murder the minisode. That's right,
stop arguing, because it's real. We told you, we said
we were going to do it. Listen, please listen, give
us the benefit of the doubt. Now go. Okay, now that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We've just berated them, they like it. This is called
family drama. Bloody handprint. Hi, day seven listener. Here, A
longtime dreamer of writing a hometown but I never felt
I had the right story. Wait, I don't know day's
episode seven or day seven, like seven days after we
(00:51):
released the first episode.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't know. It sounds like literally, I've been listening
for seven days and I've dreamed of writing an email forever.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Okay, we were both on the other sides of the Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't think mine's right though. I just think it's funny.
That would be very funny. Today.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You asked for family drama, and I come from two
large Catholic families and started thinking through all the family
lore and shenanigans. Could I tell you the story about
dangling my little cousin down the second floor laundry shoot oh,
or about the island my family used to own in
Pittsburgh until they squandered away all of their money and
(01:26):
it was seized by the government. Yeah, nope, it has
to be the bloody handprint on my grandparents' basement wall.
When I was growing up, my grandparents lived in a
split level home read lots of stairs, and the lowest
level was a cement basement. I was down there one day,
probably trying to find their grumpy cat Mo, when I
(01:47):
noticed something on one of the cement walls. I looked
a little closer and thought it faintly looked like a
brownish colored handprint, obviously faded with time. Later that day,
in the car, I asked my dad, Hey, is there
a hamd print on the basement wall at grandma's house.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, that's from when your great grandmother died. Uh what Yep.
Here's the story. My dad and his family of eight
moved from Pittsburgh to Ohio when he was a kid,
and his grandmother moved with them. It was a tight
fit with everyone in the house, and my great grandmother
wasn't great with stairs or fully understanding where she was
(02:24):
in the new house. She slept in the lower level.
One night, she must have woken up and needed to
go upstairs to the kitchen, but got confused and went
to the cement basement stairs instead. She fell and hit
her head. At some point she touched her bloody head
and then touched the wall, leaving the infamous bloody handprint.
(02:44):
It is exactly yes, it is exactly what you think
and think it's going to be Jesus Christ. She did
not die there on the floor, but she was not
found until the morning and was taken to the hospital
where she died later. That's just a straight up try
should be doing. This story is a question.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Let's see if they have a point. Let's see if
we're going to get someone. I mean, the hamprint remains
to this day.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I think is the point that all our families are
fucking morbid and weird and we just go along with
it like everything's fine, right.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What would have been the problem with going down and
rinsing that handprint.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Off, rinsing painting over it. Thanks for all you do
and share. This podcast has dramatically impacted the way I
see the world and myself. And though my husband is
not a listener, he doesn't need to be because I
literally retell him every single episode. Stay Sexy and dig
deep for those family stories because everyone's got them.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, that's true, Beth, Beth good point.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I think that's the point is like everyone has a
bloody handprint from the great grandmother in the basement wall.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, that for some reason no one is taken care of.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, and you have to ask about before they'll tell
you about it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
They'll let you, as a child, wander down and do
a dark in basement and discover it yourself, right, and
not be like we want to keep that there as
a remembrance, yeah, or anything.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's just like, hey, go find it. It's like write
a passage. Okay, you know, I'm a stick I am
sticking with it. I am what is it sticking by?
You're standing by it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I'm standing by it. Nice stand by your email. Yeah,
I mean I like it. Yeah, it's a very good point.
It is. It's a little Brene Brown of like that
idea that we're all supposed to be ashamed because we're
not perfect, right, when in fact we all have we
all have all these things. Yeah. Okay. The subject line
(04:34):
of this email is you fucking debunked my hometown legend
question mark exclamation point, and that says hi, there, K
and G. This is usually the part when someone says
longtime listener, first time writer. However, I'm breaking the mold.
I started listening to MFM in February twenty twenty four
and have been breezing through multiple episodes a day. Shout
out to my friend Maria for getting me hooked, and
(04:56):
to Karen for recommending I skipped the first one hundred.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I don't remember that because it was back when we
were fucking just blabbing, saying all kinds of horrifying shit.
But we're just like so many episodes. There's so many episodes.
In the beginning, it was just two gals recording.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
A hang having no idea what was happening. But there
was a fucking title wave. But now we're doing rewind episodes,
so you can listen to those. Instead of going back
to the first one hundred, you can listen to the
rewind episodes.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Sweet ass plug.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
This was pre rewind episode, sure, and I was just
giving people advice to skip stuff. She wasn't wrong, all right.
Then this person writes, I'll get there eventually. Now you
don't have to rewind episodes, okay. In episode eight forty three,
Karen covers the Hammond, India and a circus train three
(05:56):
for no, not even close. In episode four sixty three,
I don't There's no way I am that off, Like,
what's my brain telling my mouth that I said? Eight
forty three?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
This is our podcast and nothing has changed from the
first one hundred to to now.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's also the one hundred actually not that different.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
From wedding was in the beginning.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You're just in the fourth one hundred, right, okay. In
episode four fifty three, Karen covers the Hammond, Indiana circus
train crash and mentions Showman's rest at Woodlawn Cemetery, where
the victims of the crash were buried. Woodlawn Cemetery is
in my small hometown of Forest Park, Illinois. I've been
considering writing this writing in this hometown ever since I
(06:37):
started listening, But the story I grew up hearing is
a bit different. The town legend originally stated that the
crash happened in Forest Park and that the only victims
were for circus elephants in Forest Home Cemetery. In Forest
Park there are four large hills at each corner of
the cemetery. The legend had it that the hills were
(06:58):
actually the graves of those elephants. You're saying legend, I'm saying,
was it your uncle who was just kind of like
bored and telling you a story? Legendary uncle? So the
most legendary uncle of Forest Park, Illinois my new screenplay.
The story seemed so far fetched that even hearing it
(07:19):
as a first grader, it never really made sense. I
was thrilled to hear the real facts of the story
in the latest Spooky Halloween episode and felt an immense
sense of pride knowing that there was at least some
truth to our small town's legend. Forest Park is a
blue collar village just outside of Chicago that is only
two square miles and is the home of three cemeteries.
(07:41):
Part of the legend is that Forest Park held the
world's record for the highest ratio of dead people to
a live people. But I'll leave that to you two
experts to debunk Daily City, Daily City or Colma, Right,
which is the real I mean, all cemeteries, if you
got really competitive with Illinois where we're like, I think
(08:03):
that belongs to Okay, thank you both so much for
being real as shit all the time. We can't help it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, it's a crutch.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You've inspired me to start therapy and become sober all
in nine months of listening.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
God, it's taking me nine years and I'm fucking only
on one.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Of those things. Also, this is bullshit, Like this sounds
like someone it's like write in this email to make
them feel better. It's really changed my life. Double thumbs up. Yep.
You are both very special to me and I can't
wait to see where the next year of listening takes me.
And then parenthesesa says more than likely to the first
one hundred episodes. Stay sexy and check your hometown facts
(08:48):
and dead to a Live Ratios.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Raylan she here, Raylan, I feel touched.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I'm truly touched.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I feel that was touching and I feel touched.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It's funny because we keep on making jokes right where
we shouldn't when people are being touching with us.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It's because we can't handle vulnerability.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It doesn't feel great humor. Cover it all up with humor. Okay,
this one's called the balloon Priest. Yet you read that right.
He would be friends with Lawnchair Larry. It's a whole
subqu Hi.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Karen Georgia an MFM team. I have a hometown that
will match Karen's story for Lawnchair Larry, And it comes
all the way from Brazil.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
The Balloon Priest a tale equal parts inspiring, bizarre, and
undeniably tragic. The year was two thousand and eight, and
on April twentieth, Father Adelier Antonio Dicarli, or as he
became known, the Balloon Priest, took flight from a city
in the south of Brazil's attached to one thousand helium balloons.
(09:54):
Father Adeler's mission wasn't just about grabbing attention. He had
a purpose in mind. His goal was to raise funds
for a rest area and chapel for truck drivers where
they could take a break from the road, recharge, and
find spiritual comforters.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
That's so specific. I know it's for like maybe it's
a cultural I know it could be. And also I
know that truck drivers are exhausted all the time and
actually probably really need that. But it's like usually orphans.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Children in a far away Yeah, children are hungry, but
how about let's think about the truck drivers. They're also
hungry and tired, and they need a spiritual comfort. But
to accomplish this, he decided to break the record for
cluster ballooning and nake it all the way to the
state where his brother lived. It was both audacious and outrageous.
People couldn't look away. Adelier even went through jungle survival courses,
(10:43):
parachute training and packed a GPS parachute and five days
worth of food and water on what are they about
to tell us?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I don't know, packed on his back, I guess so.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The only problem he didn't know how to use the GPS.
After taking off and reaching a dizzying nineteen thousand feet
and it says way higher than planned, he was heard
frantically saying, quote, I need to figure out this GPS
or no one will know where I am end quote.
It was a detail only our priest could overlook. But
(11:15):
to his credit, he tried valiantly to reach the coast
Guard before his phone battery died. Unfortunately, by the time
he called in his position, he was far off course
swept out over the ocean.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh No.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Despite efforts by the Navy, Air Force and even a
plane rented by his family, hope faded. Months later, in
July two thousand and eight, the lower half of a
body was found floating off the coast of Rio de Janeiro,
five hundred and twenty two miles away from where he
took flight. DNA tests confirmed it was Father Adelier closing
(11:48):
this chapter in his Remarkable journey.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
God, that's sad.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And then it says jump to twenty thirteen. A pop
country duo drops a dancing track that's skyrockets to the
top of the Brazilian charts and as everybody dancing to
it in nightclubs and social events. I am going to
leave you with some of the lyrics from that song,
The sun is blazing, it's past noon. I'm not leaving.
No one's moving me soon.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I found my.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Car in the pool outside, and my phone's in the microwave.
Fried DJ's crazier than the balloon writing priest SSDGM Sam
she her So now he's like a pop culture legend.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yes, like, my life's so crazy. It's crazier than the
balloon writing priest. God, I'm just staggered at It was
two thousand and eight. Yeah, so it's like this idea.
There were people nearby, and there was computers nearby and
things that could have helped, Yes, like a GPS. Fucking look,
(12:48):
just learn it. That was like me getting that fucking
car and then getting into it and being like I
don't know how to drive this car.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, but a GPS isn't going to steer you, you
know what I mean? Like, I don't think learning the
DPS would have helped it all. Think maybe something to
say something better, Yeah, decision walking, Well this is like
a long walk to raise money?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
How about yeah, exactly, let's keep it on the ground.
And also I think with lunch Larry's story, it's just like,
do we all need to be told often that you
can't control balloons?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
And they just go like, how many decades apart do
we need to learn this lesson?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It shouldn't be that close. I don't know, like two
thousand and eight, it seems like we're due. Hey, hey everybody,
if you have some sort of plan to get a
bunch of balloons. The balloon Boy, remember the balloon Boy
was fake though? Yeah, yeah, that was that was tragic
actually because that was weird stage parents, yes, putting their
child at the center or something. It was. I feel
(13:46):
like the way America reacted to Balloon Boy, it was
all like oh no, look away, take away, Oh no,
this isn't good. Yeah, it's very sad. Oh anyway that Yeah,
you interrupted my great announcement. Hey, if you were thinking
of raising money or just going on a trip with balloons,
don't do it. You won't be able to control them.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
This is our public service announcement talking, don't.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Do it, fucking v end listen. Okay, we'll work on
that public service announcement. We'll do another one that star
that's more effective. Okay, this is funny sibling story. Hey, ladies,
love what you do. I'm the youngest of three daughters,
and growing up I always wanted to do whatever my
sisters were doing. It was hard for them because I
was so much younger and they really wanted nothing to
(14:29):
do with me. My oldest sister, Kaylee, came up with
a game for us to play, for us to play
together that was a good compromise for everyone, called Servant
and Princess. From the title, you can probably guess how
it went. Kaylee would be the princess and I would
be the servant, doing whatever she asked me to do.
In return, I would get a quarter as a reward
(14:51):
for all my work. I loved this game and I
would ask her to play it with me as often
as she would allow if her friends came over, even
better for me because I got to play with the
big kids and would have more princesses to serve im.
That's so sweet. I look back and laugh at how
funny and brilliant she was for coming up with this
game where she got catered to all day. Yeah, and
(15:11):
I felt included and loved the time I got to
spend with her. Now that we're all grown up, we're
very close and I feel lucky to have her as
a sister, even though we didn't really get along for
the first eighteen years of my life. Isn't that every
sister story?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, you're best friends and then you fucking hate each
other more than you've ever hated anyone.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, and then you're best friends the next day. Yeah,
and then it just says thanks for all that you do, Tori.
That's cute. Did you see that one?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Like there's like a TikTok video of like the older
sister she's probably like ten, telling her your little sister
exactly how to ask her for what she wants. Yeah,
and it's you know at the no, you may not
that little sister so triggered by that as a little sister.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I mean and my big sister sent it to me
like this is my favorite, and I this second because
I knew you know it's coming.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Say please blah blah blah blah blah, please may I.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
No, you may not, No, you may not like the
girl and she makes her do it a couple of
times and keep suggesting it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And do it perfectly. Okay, little sisters head.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
It's the funniest. And also they just they're always going
to do that to you over and over and then
it's like, oh, the little the youngest ones are always
so wild. It's like we're being mentally tortured on a
daily basis.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
All we want is attention, and you've taught us that
any kind of attention, whether it's good or bad, is positive, right,
because that's all we get.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
It's all we get, and it has to be earned.
So we're starting a podcast. So here's this fucking podcast
and we will have it.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's your fault, Laura and Liah, it's your fucking fault.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
This is called an absolute child hero.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yes, hi, it's me, the child hero. It's me.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
For the past twenty four years, I've had a thin
white box in the bottom of my jewelry box. Inside
is a bronze medal attached to a red, white and
blue ribbon fastened to a pin.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
George Washington's bust is under the words good Citizenship Award.
In two thousand, I was given this medal, interviewed by
a local news station, and got my name in the paper.
This is the story of how I helped to save
my teacher's life. Holy shit, I love this. I remember
watching a movie about penguins. All desks were pushed to
(17:30):
the sides in my second grade classroom, and all the
kids were sitting huddled together under the TV in the
dark picture. Miss Hill was at her desk behind us.
I got up from the floor and asked her if
I could go to the bathroom. She said there was
another student out, but when they returned, I could go.
About ten minutes later, I got up to ask again.
This time, when I approached Miss Hill's desk, she was
(17:51):
not there. As I got closer, I saw her sprawled
out on the floor. Miss Hill was wearing glasses and
the reflection of the movie was playing on them. Oh,
I could not see if she was conscious. I slowly
and quietly got closer to her until I could see
her eyes were closed. My heart was beating so fast
and my chest felt on fire. I decided I needed
(18:12):
to tell the most in charge adult in the school,
the principal, mister Johnson.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I remember running down the hallway to get there. I
made it breathlessly to the front office. The secretary asked,
what do you need? I responded, Miss Hill is sleeping
on the floor and she won't wake up. She stood up,
opened mister Johnson's office door behind her, and repeated what
I said. Like a superhero. He popped up and started running.
When he got there, he turned on all the lights,
(18:38):
scared the shit out of my second grade class, and
immediately started performing CPR. The paramedics were called and all
kids were ushered into another room for the rest of
the day. I went home and did my homework as.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Usual, not sharing the events of.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
The day with anyone, and those fucking the principal and
the secretary, they were just like, thanks so much for Yeah.
It wasn't until mister johns And called my mom that
night and told her what I did that I realized
it was important. I remember my mom with her ear
to the phone, tears streaming down her face just staring
at me. It turns out Miss Hill suffered cardiac arrest
(19:13):
at the age of fifty. Oh no, due to the
quick action of mister Johnson and the paramedics, she made
a full recovery. If she had gone without CPR for
two minutes more, she would have had permanent brain damage.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Oh my god, for this kid's little bladder, for Bailey's
little bladder, and also just for hauling ass likes understanding,
don't stand there in freeze mode. Yeah, this is something's
off yeh.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Miss Hill was in the hospital for the rest of
the school year and retired that summer. She never taught,
nor did I ever see her again. I would, however,
get called down to the attendant's office every year on
the anniversary of the event. Miss Hill sent me letters
from when I was eight to eighteen thanking me for
saving her life. Oh. The last letter I received was
(19:56):
when I was a senior in high school. Miss Hill
writes her letters. She keeps up with her letters.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's lovely. The best part of the story.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I did some light stocking while composing this email. Miss
Hill is still alive, a beautiful woman in her mid seventies.
Her social media is filled with pictures of her children
and six grandchildren. Come on, well, that's how I peaked
at seven years old. Thank you both for creating the
podcast that created this community. At the same time, this
(20:25):
little girl helped to save a life. Finding a dead
body was on her bucket list and CSI was her
favorite show. Yeah, girl, I knew I wasn't the only weirdo. No,
stay sexy and look for the helpers, even the tiny ones, Bailey.
She hers.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Bailey, first of all, gorgeous intro of that email.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Like the structure of that story.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
M just to like, clearly you're way ahead of the
other second grade right, Like.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I'm opening with this thing I have and let me
tell you why I have it.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
The declaration though of like it's me, the child hero,
It's me. It's so good. But also, you didn't peek
at seven years old, Bailey. You just do the kind
of work that goes unappreciated all the time, which is
you are a logical, level headed thinker that probably is like, oh,
if you leave the dinner plans for your group of
(21:17):
friends to that person, they'll go where they want to go,
which doesn't have the right seating. You take over and
you're like, here we go, this is where we're going.
It's all going to work.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Maybe that was the first fucking instance of your badassory
and for the rest of your life. Now, yeah, you've
been on this trajectory.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You're just doing it. You're the day to day level
headed don't panic. Second greater that's grown into I'm assuming
a beautiful young woman. I am the Tiger Bailey right. Congratulations.
I wish I had a little ribbon, a little ribbon,
a rib with George Washington's bus on it. Do I say,
(21:53):
busts no bus, George Washington busting' on it bus?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Okay, last I got a look just now from Karen.
That means someone's gonna cry.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Someone Kid Pastimes playing in the sand A Strange Brother edition.
Hello from the Hellscape. That is the end of twenty
twenty four. Hi, Hi, No one's going to save us
but ourselves. Create genuine community, find your support system. I'm
reading an email right now, just so you know, I'm
reading from the first paragraph of this email. We're opening
up fucking BYRD and strong. They're coming in saying exactly
(22:29):
what needs to be heard. Create genuine community, find your
support system, give what you can and as the ever
fabulous Divine said, be twice as gay, do twice as
many crimes. A fuck, Yes, I love it. What an opening.
You asked us for stories of what we did growing
up to pass the time. My older brother is two
(22:50):
and a half years older than me. He would have
a toy gun and I'd have my water baby. And
then in parentheses it says a plastic baby filled with water.
What the fuck? Because it was like heavy could squirt
a baby like? Oh? I think it was like a well,
he had a water gun. Oh, a water gun. Sorry.
My assumption was that she would use that baby to
(23:11):
squirt water. But I think now that I reread it,
you're right. It's just a toy gun. It's not a
water gun. Toy gun. Let's keep going. I'll help you out, okay.
And sometimes the terminator would hang out with the barbies
in Rainbow Valley and then that says the stairs when
a crystal in the window cascaded rainbows all over the carpet.
(23:33):
But my favorite thing we did was play in the
sand patio out back. My dad was supposed to make
my mom a flagstone patio, and he finally hired someone
to do it. Only only forty some years after he promised. Consequently,
we had a huge sand pit. We would dig a
complex river bed. We stacked wooden logs for the spout
(23:53):
of the water hose as our water fell. Once the
stream was ready, my brother would run to the side
of the house to turn on the water. He'd run
back as fast as he could so we could watch
our creation come to life. Once we even brought crawdads.
We got at a real stream to put in hours,
only for them to burrow deep in the sand and
never be found.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh my god, Oh my god, that's my toes.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Hurt about that. Yep, good luck in your sand pit children.
My only sibling, my brother and I drifted apart as
drugs took over his life as a teenager, now addicted
and living on the streets. I haven't spoken to him
in a long time, writing in I'm struck by what
an amazing person he was. Most brothers would send the
little sister to turn on the water. He wanted me
(24:38):
to see it. Oh no, no, thank you for reminiscing
playing stream with me, as I can't do it with him.
Bigay do crimes? Anonymous, her, i'monymous, Come on, that's a
sweet one. Here's the thing, because seriously, the beginning of
(24:58):
that email is so smart and good and strong. Yeah,
and it's like, and this is I think those kinds
of memories and things are truly like the glue. I
feel like those kinds of reminding even when there's loss, Yeah,
there's beauty. That's why you miss him.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And there's still good memories even though like they're tainted
by this thing it sucks by loss, you can still
like share them with people and feel them and feel
good about them instead of just feeling sad.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's really sweet. Yeah, and it's the idea, Like it's
a great email anyway, but the idea of that they
get to understand that that's what their brother did for
them is so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I want hard to see it. It makes me think
of my brother because he would never have done that, as.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Sure my sister would have been like, get out of
the sand pit.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
This is our sandpit, a sweetheart, I know. All right, Well,
