Speaker 1 (00:16):
Hello, and welcome to my favorite Murder the minisode. This
is a special occasion because apparently grandparents Day is a thing.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's Grandparents' Day, Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
It's coming up, So we're going to just do grandparents stories.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I mean, you have them for us to read, so
we're gonna read them. Okay, you want to go sure?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Okay. This one's called two Stories of the Same Murder. Hello,
Georgia and Karen, or Karen and Georgia. You are both
equal in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Finally, I have a family story for you that I
think you'll very much appreciate. It involves the murder of
my great grandfather in shall we say, suspicious circumstances. Allow
me to take you back to a different era and
a different place entirely. Okay, picture it soun in Italy,
right after the end of World War One.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I've been there at.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
The end of World War One. My great grandfather had
just returned home from his discharge from the Italian military. Yes,
he fought on the wrong side, but then they were
on the right side. I don't know. It's a very
confusing war.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes it is. It is.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
My grandmother was around two years old and my great
grandmother was pregnant on the island where they lived, and
is Kia Is Kia?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You've been there? Yes, it's Kia.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's when I do my very boring vacation slide show,
which I'm going to do for the fancule.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, that's the island. I do it, fro Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, so you know it's off the coast of Naples. Yes, amazing,
I love it. There was a particularly honory donkey that
was causing some problems for the town folks.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I saw that donkey, Not really, I'm kind of of that.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
My great grandfather decided that he was going to take
care of the donkey and went to go shoot it
with his rifle.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Sorry, oh sorry, everyone, that's rough.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
The story goes that when my great grandfather was going
to shoot the donkey, the donkey kicked the rifle, which
went off and accidentally shot my great grandfather. From this shot,
your fucking friend the donkey.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
That is the story of how my great grandfather died
after having survived all through World War One.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That's horrible or was it? Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
A few years ago I went to visit Iskia with
my cousin and found out that he may not have
been killed by that donkey. Oh, Instead, what really happened
or might have who's to say is that my great
grandfather had been having an affair with the wife of
his captain, and then the captain found out, he went
and shot my great grandfather. Oh we know that he
(02:32):
did indeed die from being shot, But I guess we
will never know who pulled the trigger, the donkey.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Or or the captain in the army.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It sounds a little more likely it carries his own
done with him at all times.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
My grandmother, despite not having her father and then being
given up to her grandparents to raise, and then it says,
remember that whole end of World War One Italy rebuilding,
everyone was poor thing.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh wow? Yeah, she turned out.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
To be a pretty awesome and badass lady in her
own right, a long long life and raised a great family.
Boy do I have stories about her, but that's for
another time. Thank you too for doing everything that you
do and being a highlight of my week. I'm a
high school teacher and I will listen to your podcast
on my drive to and from work. Stay sexy and
don't get shot by a donkey or your captain whose
(03:17):
wife you're having an affair with love James from nyc PS.
I know you'll be coming to Brooklyn in November, and
my partner and I will absolutely be getting tickets. He
owns a pizzeria in Williamsburg, and you should totally stop
buy for a slice or two. Eating for the name is.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Son of James. How are you gonna know?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
James will go to every pizzeria in Williamsburg.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
That's how you do.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
James here.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Hi, we're here, we're friends of James. He said we
could get at least one free slice or two. People
are like, no.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, no, James here.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I love that story.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But also it's funny because if you really think about it,
who would shoot a donkey for being ornery?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Right, That's what like they're known for. Yeah, that's what
they're famous for.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, it can still carry things around for you.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, it's like killing a cat from being a dick.
It's like, that's that's the very job.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
All right, all right, well along those kind of same lines,
I'm not going to read you the subject line. It says, Hi,
Karen and Georgia, longtime fan, first time hometown emailer, and
I had to write in because yesterday just so happened
to mark the twentieth anniversary of my grandpa's very own
Phineas Gauge moment.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh shit.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Back in the day, my grandpa ran a construction company
with his two brothers. One afternoon on the job, he
fell off a ladder and landed directly onto a.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Piece of rebar.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Oh no, it peers through the back of his head
and came out just under his eye. And here's the
truly unbelievable part. He was conscious the entire.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Ghooh thank you, just put me under right.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh fuck, okay, yeah, bite this belt, drink this like,
hit me in the head with a mallet.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Anything happens to me. I'm want to wake up in
the hospital. I don't want to have the in between.
Please you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yes, for sure, now that we've got I'll make sure
that happened you, I'll be there. I'll be there because
whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
When my grandpa's brothers called nine one one, because yes,
my grandpa's brothers had to witness this nightmare, the fire
department arrived and immediately clocked us as one of those
calls that would stick with them forever. Yes, of course,
they even told us they practiced cutting a different piece
of rebar nearby first, because they knew the wrong move on.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
This and it would cost my grandpa his life. Oh
that's like the highest of pressure.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
But the rebar they were practicing on cutting kept bending
and nothing was working. That's when my grandpa still skewered
pipes up and says, I've got a saw on the
back of my truck that'll cut through it.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Because of course he did.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The firefighters grabbed the saw, had a few guys hold
the rebar steady, and one brave soul cut it from
underneath his head. Meanwhile, he was annoyed that the sun
was in his eyes while lying there and being what a.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Pair of sunglasses on this poor man? Some one someone
has got some oak Lea's or some fucking what do
they call them? Blue blockers?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Nice construction worker blue blockers. And then we're moving into
the weekend of Bernie's portion of this email. And so
meanwhile he was so annoyed that the sun was in
his eyes while lying there impaled. So one firefighter's sole
job was to stand above him and block the light
with a piece of cardboard. Wow, priorities. Obviously, they managed
(06:25):
to load him onto a stretcher, and while in the ambulance,
a priest literally stood over him giving him his last rite.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Holy shit.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
The hospital journey was another roller coaster. We went from
updates saying he's brain dead and he has no quality
of life too, he's paralyzed and he'll never walk again.
But today he's very much alive, fully functioning, and until
a recent knee issue, was out there playing pickleball. Oh
my god, the man was nearly rebar shish Kebob to death.
But it's the knee that finally.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Took him down. That's kind of bullshit.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
For five years, we would visit the fire department on
the anniversary of my grandpa's accident and Eve and donated
the tool that saved his life. My grandparents have since
moved to Arizona as they realized life is too short
to live in Minnesota when you hate the winter.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
They still come back for summers, and this last anniversary
was special as we got to spend it with his
heroes and caught up with three of the men that
were called on the scene all.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Those years ago. Oh my god, that's incredible.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I'll leave you with one of my favorite grandpa memories
just before his accident.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I was eight.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
He was helping my mom renovate our house and I'd
follow him around like his little sidekick. Anytime he'd get hurt,
I'd ask, how come you're not crying, and he'd just say, well,
bur didn't you know your grandpa was made to steal?
And after what happened, I have no doubt about that
being true. Also, shout out to all the first responders
and medical professionals. They were the real heroes then and now.
(07:50):
It's wild to think that a well placed dermal saw
in the back of a truck plus a truly badass
team of firefighters is the reason my grandpa is still
around kicking ass, sexy and stay away from ladders.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Lily, Oh my god, Lily, tough as nails.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
So good.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, yeah, go Bob.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He got rebar through his brain like.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
An inch away, and it would have probably killed him yea,
because it probably like went under his brain.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Could it have gone through and still be fine? I
don't know how brains were I don't either or how
rebar works. I like saying rebar like I work with
it all the time, and I'm just like, is it
rebarb or rebar.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's rebar. Okay, like reinforcement bar. It's the metal incment.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I get it now, good job, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Cigarettes or sex? Grandma's heart couldn't handle both. Oh, good evening.
Let's get into it since this is a free for
all now. I had to write in about my Danish
grandmother in law Inger, change the name or not, but
that bitch was proud of every decision she made, so
I'm going to give her full credit. Inger was a
crotchedy old lady with limited English who gave zero fucks
(08:58):
about what others thought of how she lived her life.
There are many Inger stories, but I will share two today.
As she got older, Inger loved to go to her parties,
as she called them. What else was happening didn't matter.
They were always a priority. My husband flew from the
US to visit, and she blew him a kiss as
she walked out the door to join her friends aka
the swingers. She finally had to stop going to her
(09:20):
swinger parties when her doctor told her that she had
to choose between her parties and cigarettes. Oh like, her
heart couldn't handle them both.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh shit.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
She chose cigarettes because she and I quote could smoke
multiple times a day and didn't have the stamina to
keep up anymore. Ugh, just watch Jesus, Grandma is going
to swinger party.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Grandma, I don't want to hear about your life like this.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Inger also needed a babysitter to come to the US
because she got into too many fights with the TSA agents. Opinionated.
Not one to mince words and a limited understanding of English,
made for a challenging trip through security. When asked if
she packed her back, because you know they'd ask you,
did anyone else besides you pack your bag, she said, quote,
I'm eighty. Why would I pack my bag? Are you stupid?
(10:08):
After one too many fights, TSA kindly requested that she'd
be escorted by another family member each time she came
to visit.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So she's showing up like a security at the airport
and just fighting with whoever talks to her.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, like being contrary for no reason. Great Inger passed
away just months before our daughter was born, and it
grieves me often that they never met Earthside. We hadn't.
I thought they named their daughter.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Earth's Side because it's capitalized, But they beautiful little Earth
Sideth Side.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We hadn't announced our pregnancy when we visited one last
time before she passed literally a day after we left,
but she told her daughter that she knew her grandson
was going to be a dad soon. When I see
my impish kiddo flash a quick smile and tease her
Grandpa Inger's son, I know she has more than a
little of Inger's spirit, and I intend to fan those
flames as much as humanly possible.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Sweet little earth Side, She's a wild one.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Stay sexy and know which vice your heart can handle
in your eighties, Sarah.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
She her Also, it's like, and we're going to raise
our child to be just like their great grandma brothers.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Pick little parts of that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Be careful for Earthside.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, I was actually looking to switch mine around because
this one goes with that one nicely. I won't reach
the subject line it says, Hey, guys, I'm just going
to get right into this. I'd like to first start
with a little background on my grandma. She's an Italian
Catholic Bird who was raised in Peoria, Illinois, and relocated
to Sacramento, California, where she married a serviceman and had
(11:40):
four beautiful children. She then divorced that man and began
an admittedly short relationship with another man, with whom she
had one child. And then it says in parentheses, my father,
I'm assuming that's how they want me to pronounce it.
She was a single mom and lived in a beautiful
Victorian home in downtown Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
She would sell avon amazing. She was a devout.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Catholic who collected creepy Jesus pictures, enjoyed gardening, and eventually
spending time with her grandkids. She fought and beat breast
cancer and had only one boob, which I found incredibly
amusing as a child. And because she was deaf in
one ear, she wouldn't hear herself fart, which again I
found awfully amusing. She was just an all around sweet
and wonderful old lady, or so we thought.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh no, what's the lady from Sacramento who Dorothia plenty?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
My grandma was doing that.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
But this is the true, or so we thought. Email Anyway,
my grandma Mary passed in nineteen ninety nine after a
long battle with cancer. After she passed, we all found
ourselves going through the relics in her basement which had
been acquired over a lifetime. I'm big into nostalgia and
anything vintage, so I found myself buried in letters between
(12:53):
her and my grandfather parentheses, who was a total piece
of shit, but that's a story for another day. Pictures,
and we even found some old eight millimeter film reels.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Score.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I immediately decided to hook up her old projector and
see what was on the film. Yes, yes, no, yes,
the answer is yes. I guess I was expecting footage
of a fifties era Christmas or something of that nature. Nope, big,
fucking nope. Grandma was a swinger and these were her big.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Orgy sex tapes.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Oh, vintage orgy sex tape, real to real sex tape.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Unbelievable. Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Now, I'm a total sex positive hippie, but there's a
level of horror in finding footage of Granny and orgy.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I mean, Jesus eight, I bet that's worth a lot
of money.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Also, I just like, as I was reading this, I'm like, Catholic, Catholic, Catholic.
I'm just like, man, she really broke free. I feel
like my whole life was alive. Reading the letters only
confirmed what a tart by granny was, and the pictures
are forever.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Sky into my retinas.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I realize the story has absolutely nothing to do with murder,
but is arguably just as horrifying. You agree, and I
thought you'd all be thoroughly entertained by my misfortune. Anyway,
stay sexy and be careful while rifling through Granny's belongings.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Casey, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I mean, you're just like, am I gonna see my
uncle as a six year old?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Like, oh my god? Put that on.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Make sure we watch it, and then it's just like
may or may or may porn, real to real porn. Also,
just really quick. I do think we should do a
call out for or so we thought.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Stories great idea, or so we thought, or so we thought,
please email them to my favorite murder A g email
about anything doesn't have to be a back grandparents, badass
grandma and her any fucking story, embarrassing funeral. Hey a'all,
you know how awesome you are, but you don't know
how awesome my grandma was, So I'm going to get
(14:54):
right into it.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Great.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
We want to know my grandma Sandy was a badass.
She escaped the abuses of my piece shit grandpa not
a piece of shit. Grandpa's gone, Yeah, and raise my
mom and her siblings on her own while working full
time at Ford Automotive as an upholsterer.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
The amount of women who have had to do that
and do it and know one of her emails about them,
that's just what you're expected to do when some piece
of shit is abusive. And then you get away from them,
and it's like and good luck as you do this
by yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And they do, they do, They have to, they do.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Amen. I knew her as the most loving and funny
grandma who golfed every day and lit up every room.
What I didn't know was that she had a wild side.
But before we get there, let's get to my role
at her funeral. I was fifteen, and for some reason,
my aunt asked me to speak a passage from the
Bible at this very Catholic funeral. For some reason, don't
(15:42):
ask a fifteen year old. You're right, you speak a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Take on that because I'm like, oh shit, yeah, this
is a high pressure situation.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
She had put a post a note on the page
I was supposed to read. When it was my turn,
I nervously walked up the steps to the pulpit. Turning
the page, I began to read, only to realize that
I was on.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
The priest's page.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Upon realizing this, I said, oh shit into the microphone
and quickly moved to my page, stammering at my part
and rushing towards the steps, where I proceeded to trip
and fall down them.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
On my ass. Oh oh no.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
When I got back to the pew, face a tomato,
I was met with my aunt's a Catholic school teacher,
angry gaze upon me. Course. My great aunt was, however,
laughing and said my grandma would have found it hilarious. Yeah,
that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Al right, it's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
She said, Oh shit, shirt shit to a microphone at
a Catholic church going it's so like old fashioned oppressive.
At the wake was when there were even more revelations.
As people said their final goodbyes to my grandma. Our
family friend Troy came up to me to give me
his condolences. He then lick her on his breath, pulled
(16:55):
out a photo of him and my grandma on a
cruise wearing penis balloon hats.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh okay, then you go, oh shit, oh shit.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
He then informed me that he and my grandma had
basically been fuck buddies my entire life, and that she
had her nipples.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Peers. No, no, I hadn't known that part. No no, no, oh,
my god againnot.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I was fifteen, and.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It's your grandma, even if you were forty five. Grandma's
your grandma.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Also, apparently my grandma had brought weed brownies to the
Ford Christmas party and got the head of Ford Automotive
blitzed out of his mind.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh shit, that's very mad men.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, yeah, alrighty, that's it. Thank you all for your
shenanigans and keeping me company through a lot of life's
twists and turns. Stay sexy, and don't forget that grandma's
can have a wild side too, best, kay, they.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Them, Kay, We'll never forget that because of your grandma's
pierce nipples.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Grandma's big saggy boobs, Piers, I love it, And he
just felt like to get to tell her they were
fuck grandma had fuck buddies and nipples Peers.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I mean, it's good to know that your grandma contains multitudes,
but there are certain people that you just would like
to see in a certain light.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yes, but I guess not.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Okay, this isn't a direct I mean, this is a
grandparent story, but it is. You know, grandparents always have
their pets. Got it, so I won't reach it. The
subject line it says, hello ladies and creatures. Day one
listener here, Day one listener, whoa, and then says, jumping
right into it, because this is my family's iconic dog story.
(18:31):
So to begin, My grandpa grew up in a small
town named Edenderry in southern Ireland with his widowed mother
and five siblings, the O'Connell family.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh my god, can't be more irish, right.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
They all lived in the town hall in the middle
of the city. Take me there now.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
They had a dog named Smoky, and Smokey all caps
was period a period menace. He had the reputation around
town for being dangerous around children, fighting and chasing kids down,
et cetera. It's so old fashioned of like a biting
dog that's just loosened.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Town, and it's like you're not gonna get sued for
it at all.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
No, that's Smoky.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah. Everyone's like, oh, don't go on your Smokey.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, it's your problem with Smokey.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You So Smokey was looking at the end of his line,
being labeled as public Enemy number one and locked up
by the civic guard in the barracks to be shot.
Oh and in parentheses it says this was the nineteen forties.
Early one morning, the mongrel who was locked in an
outhouse cleverly escaped and raced down through the streets of
Edenderry to get back to his family. But when he arrived,
(19:35):
the town hall was inflames.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
This is a fucking Wizard of Oz shit right here.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It is.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
It's like, oh, you think I'm bad, Well, I'm about
to do some some serious shit. My grandpa, sean great grandmother,
and all his siblings were still inside. So what does
Smokey do. He begins barking incessantly around the town square
until my great grandmother woke up, and wouldn't you have it,
the entire townsfolk up as well. So, yes, a dog
(20:02):
named Smokey saved my family from a fire.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
My grandpa and his whole family made it out safely
because of Smoky. He was hailed as a hero and
the town praised him. There was a song written about
Smokey and the fire, and a newspaper article, give me
the smoky.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
My god, doom dog saves a family. Must Smokey be destroyed? Oh,
it's exactly what I thought Smokey would look like.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And describe Smokey for the people.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Like a mut with like kind of scruffy white hair
with a couple spots here and there. Super mutt. Yes,
probably like i'd say forty pounds or so, like the
perfect super mut. Oh, my god.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
My grandpa and his whole family made it out safely
because of Smokey. He was hailed as a hero and
my grandpa, Sean O'Connell went on to be a detective
and a captain for the Garda and saved many lives himself.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Holy shit.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Sean was also an amazing storyteller and jokester and had
some incredible stories from his detective work. He had his
house shot at where my mom and siblings lived, worked
easily with criminal informants because of his charm, and even
prevented a bombing to the British Royal grounds and much
much more. He passed away two years ago in his
hometown of Edenderry and has greatly missed. Thank you, ladies
(21:14):

Hello, and welcome to my favorite Murder the minisode. This
is a special occasion because apparently grandparents Day is a thing.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's Grandparents' Day, Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
It's coming up, So we're going to just do grandparents stories.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I mean, you have them for us to read, so
we're gonna read them. Okay, you want to go sure?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Okay. This one's called two Stories of the Same Murder. Hello,
Georgia and Karen, or Karen and Georgia. You are both
equal in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Finally, I have a family story for you that I
think you'll very much appreciate. It involves the murder of
my great grandfather in shall we say, suspicious circumstances. Allow
me to take you back to a different era and
a different place entirely. Okay, picture it soun in Italy,
right after the end of World War One.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I've been there at.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
The end of World War One. My great grandfather had
just returned home from his discharge from the Italian military. Yes,
he fought on the wrong side, but then they were
on the right side. I don't know. It's a very
confusing war.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes it is. It is.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
My grandmother was around two years old and my great
grandmother was pregnant on the island where they lived, and
is Kia Is Kia?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You've been there? Yes, it's Kia.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's when I do my very boring vacation slide show,
which I'm going to do for the fancule.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, that's the island. I do it, fro Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, so you know it's off the coast of Naples. Yes, amazing,
I love it. There was a particularly honory donkey that
was causing some problems for the town folks.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I saw that donkey, Not really, I'm kind of of that.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
My great grandfather decided that he was going to take
care of the donkey and went to go shoot it
with his rifle.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Sorry, oh sorry, everyone, that's rough.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
The story goes that when my great grandfather was going
to shoot the donkey, the donkey kicked the rifle, which
went off and accidentally shot my great grandfather. From this shot,
your fucking friend the donkey.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
That is the story of how my great grandfather died
after having survived all through World War One.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That's horrible or was it? Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
A few years ago I went to visit Iskia with
my cousin and found out that he may not have
been killed by that donkey. Oh, Instead, what really happened
or might have who's to say is that my great
grandfather had been having an affair with the wife of
his captain, and then the captain found out, he went
and shot my great grandfather. Oh we know that he
(02:32):
did indeed die from being shot, But I guess we
will never know who pulled the trigger, the donkey.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Or or the captain in the army.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It sounds a little more likely it carries his own
done with him at all times.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
My grandmother, despite not having her father and then being
given up to her grandparents to raise, and then it says,
remember that whole end of World War One Italy rebuilding,
everyone was poor thing.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh wow? Yeah, she turned out.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
To be a pretty awesome and badass lady in her
own right, a long long life and raised a great family.
Boy do I have stories about her, but that's for
another time. Thank you too for doing everything that you
do and being a highlight of my week. I'm a
high school teacher and I will listen to your podcast
on my drive to and from work. Stay sexy and
don't get shot by a donkey or your captain whose
(03:17):
wife you're having an affair with love James from nyc PS.
I know you'll be coming to Brooklyn in November, and
my partner and I will absolutely be getting tickets. He
owns a pizzeria in Williamsburg, and you should totally stop
buy for a slice or two. Eating for the name is.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Son of James. How are you gonna know?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
James will go to every pizzeria in Williamsburg.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
That's how you do.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
James here.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Hi, we're here, we're friends of James. He said we
could get at least one free slice or two. People
are like, no.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, no, James here.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I love that story.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But also it's funny because if you really think about it,
who would shoot a donkey for being ornery?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Right, That's what like they're known for. Yeah, that's what
they're famous for.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, it can still carry things around for you.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, it's like killing a cat from being a dick.
It's like, that's that's the very job.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
All right, all right, well along those kind of same lines,
I'm not going to read you the subject line. It says, Hi,
Karen and Georgia, longtime fan, first time hometown emailer, and
I had to write in because yesterday just so happened
to mark the twentieth anniversary of my grandpa's very own
Phineas Gauge moment.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh shit.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Back in the day, my grandpa ran a construction company
with his two brothers. One afternoon on the job, he
fell off a ladder and landed directly onto a.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Piece of rebar.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Oh no, it peers through the back of his head
and came out just under his eye. And here's the
truly unbelievable part. He was conscious the entire.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Ghooh thank you, just put me under right.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh fuck, okay, yeah, bite this belt, drink this like,
hit me in the head with a mallet.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Anything happens to me. I'm want to wake up in
the hospital. I don't want to have the in between.
Please you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yes, for sure, now that we've got I'll make sure
that happened you, I'll be there. I'll be there because
whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
When my grandpa's brothers called nine one one, because yes,
my grandpa's brothers had to witness this nightmare, the fire
department arrived and immediately clocked us as one of those
calls that would stick with them forever. Yes, of course,
they even told us they practiced cutting a different piece
of rebar nearby first, because they knew the wrong move on.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
This and it would cost my grandpa his life. Oh
that's like the highest of pressure.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
But the rebar they were practicing on cutting kept bending
and nothing was working. That's when my grandpa still skewered
pipes up and says, I've got a saw on the
back of my truck that'll cut through it.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Because of course he did.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The firefighters grabbed the saw, had a few guys hold
the rebar steady, and one brave soul cut it from
underneath his head. Meanwhile, he was annoyed that the sun
was in his eyes while lying there and being what a.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Pair of sunglasses on this poor man? Some one someone
has got some oak Lea's or some fucking what do
they call them? Blue blockers?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Nice construction worker blue blockers. And then we're moving into
the weekend of Bernie's portion of this email. And so
meanwhile he was so annoyed that the sun was in
his eyes while lying there impaled. So one firefighter's sole
job was to stand above him and block the light
with a piece of cardboard. Wow, priorities. Obviously, they managed
(06:25):
to load him onto a stretcher, and while in the ambulance,
a priest literally stood over him giving him his last rite.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Holy shit.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
The hospital journey was another roller coaster. We went from
updates saying he's brain dead and he has no quality
of life too, he's paralyzed and he'll never walk again.
But today he's very much alive, fully functioning, and until
a recent knee issue, was out there playing pickleball. Oh
my god, the man was nearly rebar shish Kebob to death.
But it's the knee that finally.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Took him down. That's kind of bullshit.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
For five years, we would visit the fire department on
the anniversary of my grandpa's accident and Eve and donated
the tool that saved his life. My grandparents have since
moved to Arizona as they realized life is too short
to live in Minnesota when you hate the winter.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
They still come back for summers, and this last anniversary
was special as we got to spend it with his
heroes and caught up with three of the men that
were called on the scene all.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Those years ago. Oh my god, that's incredible.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I'll leave you with one of my favorite grandpa memories
just before his accident.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I was eight.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
He was helping my mom renovate our house and I'd
follow him around like his little sidekick. Anytime he'd get hurt,
I'd ask, how come you're not crying, and he'd just say, well,
bur didn't you know your grandpa was made to steal?
And after what happened, I have no doubt about that
being true. Also, shout out to all the first responders
and medical professionals. They were the real heroes then and now.
(07:50):
It's wild to think that a well placed dermal saw
in the back of a truck plus a truly badass
team of firefighters is the reason my grandpa is still
around kicking ass, sexy and stay away from ladders.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Lily, Oh my god, Lily, tough as nails.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
So good.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, yeah, go Bob.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He got rebar through his brain like.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
An inch away, and it would have probably killed him yea,
because it probably like went under his brain.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Could it have gone through and still be fine? I
don't know how brains were I don't either or how
rebar works. I like saying rebar like I work with
it all the time, and I'm just like, is it
rebarb or rebar.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's rebar. Okay, like reinforcement bar. It's the metal incment.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I get it now, good job, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Cigarettes or sex? Grandma's heart couldn't handle both. Oh, good evening.
Let's get into it since this is a free for
all now. I had to write in about my Danish
grandmother in law Inger, change the name or not, but
that bitch was proud of every decision she made, so
I'm going to give her full credit. Inger was a
crotchedy old lady with limited English who gave zero fucks
(08:58):
about what others thought of how she lived her life.
There are many Inger stories, but I will share two today.
As she got older, Inger loved to go to her parties,
as she called them. What else was happening didn't matter.
They were always a priority. My husband flew from the
US to visit, and she blew him a kiss as
she walked out the door to join her friends aka
the swingers. She finally had to stop going to her
(09:20):
swinger parties when her doctor told her that she had
to choose between her parties and cigarettes. Oh like, her
heart couldn't handle them both.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh shit.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
She chose cigarettes because she and I quote could smoke
multiple times a day and didn't have the stamina to
keep up anymore. Ugh, just watch Jesus, Grandma is going
to swinger party.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Grandma, I don't want to hear about your life like this.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Inger also needed a babysitter to come to the US
because she got into too many fights with the TSA agents. Opinionated.
Not one to mince words and a limited understanding of English,
made for a challenging trip through security. When asked if
she packed her back, because you know they'd ask you,
did anyone else besides you pack your bag, she said, quote,
I'm eighty. Why would I pack my bag? Are you stupid?
(10:08):
After one too many fights, TSA kindly requested that she'd
be escorted by another family member each time she came
to visit.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So she's showing up like a security at the airport
and just fighting with whoever talks to her.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, like being contrary for no reason. Great Inger passed
away just months before our daughter was born, and it
grieves me often that they never met Earthside. We hadn't.
I thought they named their daughter.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Earth's Side because it's capitalized, But they beautiful little Earth
Sideth Side.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We hadn't announced our pregnancy when we visited one last
time before she passed literally a day after we left,
but she told her daughter that she knew her grandson
was going to be a dad soon. When I see
my impish kiddo flash a quick smile and tease her
Grandpa Inger's son, I know she has more than a
little of Inger's spirit, and I intend to fan those
flames as much as humanly possible.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Sweet little earth Side, She's a wild one.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Stay sexy and know which vice your heart can handle
in your eighties, Sarah.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
She her Also, it's like, and we're going to raise
our child to be just like their great grandma brothers.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Pick little parts of that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Be careful for Earthside.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, I was actually looking to switch mine around because
this one goes with that one nicely. I won't reach
the subject line it says, Hey, guys, I'm just going
to get right into this. I'd like to first start
with a little background on my grandma. She's an Italian
Catholic Bird who was raised in Peoria, Illinois, and relocated
to Sacramento, California, where she married a serviceman and had
(11:40):
four beautiful children. She then divorced that man and began
an admittedly short relationship with another man, with whom she
had one child. And then it says in parentheses, my father,
I'm assuming that's how they want me to pronounce it.
She was a single mom and lived in a beautiful
Victorian home in downtown Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
She would sell avon amazing. She was a devout.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Catholic who collected creepy Jesus pictures, enjoyed gardening, and eventually
spending time with her grandkids. She fought and beat breast
cancer and had only one boob, which I found incredibly
amusing as a child. And because she was deaf in
one ear, she wouldn't hear herself fart, which again I
found awfully amusing. She was just an all around sweet
and wonderful old lady, or so we thought.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh no, what's the lady from Sacramento who Dorothia plenty?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
My grandma was doing that.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
But this is the true, or so we thought. Email Anyway,
my grandma Mary passed in nineteen ninety nine after a
long battle with cancer. After she passed, we all found
ourselves going through the relics in her basement which had
been acquired over a lifetime. I'm big into nostalgia and
anything vintage, so I found myself buried in letters between
(12:53):
her and my grandfather parentheses, who was a total piece
of shit, but that's a story for another day. Pictures,
and we even found some old eight millimeter film reels.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Score.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I immediately decided to hook up her old projector and
see what was on the film. Yes, yes, no, yes,
the answer is yes. I guess I was expecting footage
of a fifties era Christmas or something of that nature. Nope, big,
fucking nope. Grandma was a swinger and these were her big.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Orgy sex tapes.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Oh, vintage orgy sex tape, real to real sex tape.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Unbelievable. Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Now, I'm a total sex positive hippie, but there's a
level of horror in finding footage of Granny and orgy.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I mean, Jesus eight, I bet that's worth a lot
of money.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Also, I just like, as I was reading this, I'm like, Catholic, Catholic, Catholic.
I'm just like, man, she really broke free. I feel
like my whole life was alive. Reading the letters only
confirmed what a tart by granny was, and the pictures
are forever.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Sky into my retinas.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I realize the story has absolutely nothing to do with murder,
but is arguably just as horrifying. You agree, and I
thought you'd all be thoroughly entertained by my misfortune. Anyway,
stay sexy and be careful while rifling through Granny's belongings.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Casey, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I mean, you're just like, am I gonna see my
uncle as a six year old?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Like, oh my god? Put that on.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Make sure we watch it, and then it's just like
may or may or may porn, real to real porn. Also,
just really quick. I do think we should do a
call out for or so we thought.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Stories great idea, or so we thought, or so we thought,
please email them to my favorite murder A g email
about anything doesn't have to be a back grandparents, badass
grandma and her any fucking story, embarrassing funeral. Hey a'all,
you know how awesome you are, but you don't know
how awesome my grandma was, So I'm going to get
(14:54):
right into it.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Great.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
We want to know my grandma Sandy was a badass.
She escaped the abuses of my piece shit grandpa not
a piece of shit. Grandpa's gone, Yeah, and raise my
mom and her siblings on her own while working full
time at Ford Automotive as an upholsterer.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
The amount of women who have had to do that
and do it and know one of her emails about them,
that's just what you're expected to do when some piece
of shit is abusive. And then you get away from them,
and it's like and good luck as you do this
by yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And they do, they do, They have to, they do.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Amen. I knew her as the most loving and funny
grandma who golfed every day and lit up every room.
What I didn't know was that she had a wild side.
But before we get there, let's get to my role
at her funeral. I was fifteen, and for some reason,
my aunt asked me to speak a passage from the
Bible at this very Catholic funeral. For some reason, don't
(15:42):
ask a fifteen year old. You're right, you speak a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Take on that because I'm like, oh shit, yeah, this
is a high pressure situation.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
She had put a post a note on the page
I was supposed to read. When it was my turn,
I nervously walked up the steps to the pulpit. Turning
the page, I began to read, only to realize that
I was on.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
The priest's page.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Upon realizing this, I said, oh shit into the microphone
and quickly moved to my page, stammering at my part
and rushing towards the steps, where I proceeded to trip
and fall down them.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
On my ass. Oh oh no.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
When I got back to the pew, face a tomato,
I was met with my aunt's a Catholic school teacher,
angry gaze upon me. Course. My great aunt was, however,
laughing and said my grandma would have found it hilarious. Yeah,
that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Al right, it's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
She said, Oh shit, shirt shit to a microphone at
a Catholic church going it's so like old fashioned oppressive.
At the wake was when there were even more revelations.
As people said their final goodbyes to my grandma. Our
family friend Troy came up to me to give me
his condolences. He then lick her on his breath, pulled
(16:55):
out a photo of him and my grandma on a
cruise wearing penis balloon hats.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh okay, then you go, oh shit, oh shit.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
He then informed me that he and my grandma had
basically been fuck buddies my entire life, and that she
had her nipples.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Peers. No, no, I hadn't known that part. No no, no, oh,
my god againnot.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I was fifteen, and.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It's your grandma, even if you were forty five. Grandma's
your grandma.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Also, apparently my grandma had brought weed brownies to the
Ford Christmas party and got the head of Ford Automotive
blitzed out of his mind.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh shit, that's very mad men.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, yeah, alrighty, that's it. Thank you all for your
shenanigans and keeping me company through a lot of life's
twists and turns. Stay sexy, and don't forget that grandma's
can have a wild side too, best, kay, they.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Them, Kay, We'll never forget that because of your grandma's
pierce nipples.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Grandma's big saggy boobs, Piers, I love it, And he
just felt like to get to tell her they were
fuck grandma had fuck buddies and nipples Peers.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I mean, it's good to know that your grandma contains multitudes,
but there are certain people that you just would like
to see in a certain light.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yes, but I guess not.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Okay, this isn't a direct I mean, this is a
grandparent story, but it is. You know, grandparents always have
their pets. Got it, so I won't reach it. The
subject line it says, hello ladies and creatures. Day one
listener here, Day one listener, whoa, and then says, jumping
right into it, because this is my family's iconic dog story.
(18:31):
So to begin, My grandpa grew up in a small
town named Edenderry in southern Ireland with his widowed mother
and five siblings, the O'Connell family.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh my god, can't be more irish, right.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
They all lived in the town hall in the middle
of the city. Take me there now.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
They had a dog named Smoky, and Smokey all caps
was period a period menace. He had the reputation around
town for being dangerous around children, fighting and chasing kids down,
et cetera. It's so old fashioned of like a biting
dog that's just loosened.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Town, and it's like you're not gonna get sued for
it at all.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
No, that's Smoky.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah. Everyone's like, oh, don't go on your Smokey.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, it's your problem with Smokey.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You So Smokey was looking at the end of his line,
being labeled as public Enemy number one and locked up
by the civic guard in the barracks to be shot.
Oh and in parentheses it says this was the nineteen forties.
Early one morning, the mongrel who was locked in an
outhouse cleverly escaped and raced down through the streets of
Edenderry to get back to his family. But when he arrived,
(19:35):
the town hall was inflames.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
This is a fucking Wizard of Oz shit right here.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It is.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
It's like, oh, you think I'm bad, Well, I'm about
to do some some serious shit. My grandpa, sean great grandmother,
and all his siblings were still inside. So what does
Smokey do. He begins barking incessantly around the town square
until my great grandmother woke up, and wouldn't you have it,
the entire townsfolk up as well. So, yes, a dog
(20:02):
named Smokey saved my family from a fire.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
My grandpa and his whole family made it out safely
because of Smoky. He was hailed as a hero and
the town praised him. There was a song written about
Smokey and the fire, and a newspaper article, give me
the smoky.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
My god, doom dog saves a family. Must Smokey be destroyed? Oh,
it's exactly what I thought Smokey would look like.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And describe Smokey for the people.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Like a mut with like kind of scruffy white hair
with a couple spots here and there. Super mutt. Yes,
probably like i'd say forty pounds or so, like the
perfect super mut. Oh, my god.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
My grandpa and his whole family made it out safely
because of Smokey. He was hailed as a hero and
my grandpa, Sean O'Connell went on to be a detective
and a captain for the Garda and saved many lives himself.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Holy shit.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Sean was also an amazing storyteller and jokester and had
some incredible stories from his detective work. He had his
house shot at where my mom and siblings lived, worked
easily with criminal informants because of his charm, and even
prevented a bombing to the British Royal grounds and much
much more. He passed away two years ago in his
hometown of Edenderry and has greatly missed. Thank you, ladies

You've been making sure people are staying aware of their minds,

found you and your podcast. I will leave you with
a poem that my grandpa passed down the family, and
(21:36):
then in parentheses it says, in a heavy Irish accent
which I will not come on, Oh darling, Sue, I
do love you. I love you in your nighty when
the moonlight flits across your tits. Jesus Christ Almighty, and
then it says that's his humor for you. Stay sexy
and maybe don't shoot the bad dog.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
And a lease.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That's amazing. Great, that was a great one. Those were
all great Grandpa, grandma, grandparent.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Have a great Grandparents' day. Call your grandparents if you
still have them. You will miss someone. They're gone absolutely,
and stay sexy and don't get murdered. Goodbye, Elvis.
