I'm like, I've been really looking forward to this to
just be like in our element. I was gonna clean
up the podcast loft.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
What happened?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I mean, all you have to do is look at
it to know what happened. It's like a fucking bomb
went off in there, an Australian gift bomb. An Australian
gift bomb. We watch wrestling, fucking merch bomb. Oh shit,
there's empty fucking sparklet's bottles up there.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I always forget that there's two podcasts being being beamed
out of this apartment. Yeah, so there's a lot. There's
a lot going on, not just us.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, and both Vince and I like are the keepers
of the things. So it's just an you know, there's
also cat barf And I'm gonna be honest right now.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Okay, Yeah, good, I welcome that honesty. Yeah. I don't
have a cat barf a quol in my house at
the moment. Although I did open the door to a
new my dog walker on vacation and she told me
she had a replacement, but she didn't say the replacement
was automatically coming. She just gave me the number of
the person I could call. Oh and so at like

(02:08):
eleven in the morning, Well, I was wearing When I
wear my black pajamas, they become black with white hair pajamas.
And I was sitting there working on something and the
door bell ring, and I was like, what could possibly
be happening right now?

Speaker 4 (02:24):
The worst feeling when the doorbell ring, it's the worst.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
I sneak to the door quietly and look out the
thing people, and then I'm like huh uh.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, but like I'm like front door on the sidewalk.
So it's whoever, And a lot of times it's people
who are shilling for a church or real estate agency.
Hey are you thinking about selling a house? Hey, I
think you should sell this piece of shit house and
get out from get out from underwater. It's usually that.
One time it was the bug man. Did I tell

(02:53):
you about that? When I opened the door and the
guy goes, hey, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm
and then he stood back a little bit and goes
the bug man, Yeah, And I just shut the door
because he was like he started to say my neighbors
used him to like firks an exterminator or something. But
he he was really young and good looking, and he
had like a uniform on, and I was just like,
get out of here.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
You don't try to charm me.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
You're gonna bug charm me, Like no, never never. So
this time was weird because it was too beautiful Northern
European looking people with accents. Oh my god. So I
was like, and George immediately goes out because they have
the door open. This yeah, story, but long and short
of it is I met the dog walker that I
had no intention of calling because I didn't want to

(03:37):
talk to a new person. I don't have to make
some kind of a new connection. I was gonna be like, fine,
I'll do it myself. And then they she she has
showed up now every day to like.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
It is her PA can't leave me alone.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now she's already they've already been in they've seen the
worst of the worst.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's something where you like know that someone's counting on
the money that you're paying them.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, I've been in that position where you're going to
show up no matter what.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Where I thought that I was getting this much money
this week from this job that I thought I had,
and then someone tells you you're not, and you're so
broke that you're like, well, now I thought I could
cover rent and I can't, Like that's happened to me,
And I burst into tears because I was like, you
canceled on me, and now I'm fucked. So what you
went and did something? No, no, I never did it,
but it's like I don't. I wouldn't want to disappoint

(04:24):
I wouldn't want to do that to someone who's like, Hi,
I'm here, Like I'm supposed to be and you're like, no,
actually you can't.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Take this week off.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah we're going on this tour and now it started
in Australia. End who knows where and when and who
knows when and what and how and why and why
and it could be I mean, stay tuned.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
What we can guarantee you is an eventful, you never
know night.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
You know what's cool about that is like I have
an issue with going to any I maybe more soon
as younger, Like any event alone, Like just showing up
anywhere alone freaked me out. I've seen a movie alone once,
like as an ext speriment because I was so scared
and I ran in my fucking ex boyfriend with his
girlfriend there.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
That's how great it was.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Movie was it was There will be Blood, which.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Is like a move you don't want to watch alone,
like you need to talk to someone about it.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
That was the only time ever going to a.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Movie alone you could hide behind because it's like a
good movie yeah, with a good director. So you could
be like, oh, I just had to see this film,
or I could be like my I was with my
friend but they got triggered and ran out. Yeah that's right,
I just ran. They hate milk.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
And lots of things. So yeah, So people are always people.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Who we meet with the shows tell us that they
came alone because it's such an event because so many
people have anxiety, and they're like, and it was incredible
and I met awesome people.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah that's true.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
That to me is like the people who are scared
of coming alone, Like you're going to be sat next
to someone who you're going to be best friends with.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's really true. Yeah, it's just everyone, we're all and
then because everyone's the same pretty much, oh my god,
same has the same feel of person. It's hilarious to me.
And also when people tell us they're alone when they
come to meet us at the meet and greet, I
always go, there'll be somebody that's alone, and they'll be
like that girl over, there's a way we always like

(06:12):
yell over a like go touch to.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Her and like if you wear like a shirt that's
like funny that like relates to something murdery, someone's gonna
come off you, Like where did you get that?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Be my best friend?

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Someone had a shirt shirt on one of the meet
and greets that said, the husband did it? Did I
talk about this? And I bought us both? I bought
us both, and yeah, because that was the best shirt.
And I worked a therapy just to be like, here's
why in your face, and then my therapist this is
how fucking sweet he is. He was like, uh, oh, well, yeah,
it's always a husband's fault. And I'm like, no, the

(06:45):
husband murdered. He just didn't get oh. He might have
been yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no no. And
in fact, I was I bought a car this week,
oh yeah, yesterday, which.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Was like exciting on a lot of level and scary.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
And the car dealer was like the super normal dude,
and we were like looking at the car and you
open the trunk and Vince joked like, which I love that.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Vince said this, oh you g've.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Hit a few bodies in there, and then he points
to the emergency latch and just goes, just make sure
you disabled that.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh my god. WHOA was like sold, yes, right, that's
a good sales Oh my god, I bought the car
from How old does he he was?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
He definitely didn't listen to the podcast, like is ever
I tweeted it and feel like he must be like no,
it just was like a family man.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Lots of people have good sensites of humor. Yeah, and
he was like twenty eight or so. That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, I like that style.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
I do too.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Now you're just going like you don't know if I'm
gonna if I'm going to be I've had been locked
in a trunk before in my life, but you're just
fucking picking it up.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
You know what it is. It's if you've been locked
in a trunk before in your life. The fact that
you're making the joke first means you're okay, right, which
means he can do what he wants right, and that
it's actually additional relief he would join in and not
leave you hanging right or go, oh my god, what's
wrong with you? It's just a classic, like bullshit salesman personality.
It's why I like people like that, and I hate

(08:10):
myself for liking them because it's such an obvious Like
those smooth talkers are my favorite, and they're the they're
the most full of shit people.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Who don't miss a beat right there, don't react.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
How thrilling, yes exactly, they go along with it. It's
like constant high end improvise.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Sure, that makes you have to be smarter and quicker too,
but it also is like you're being hurt.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's exhausting, it's it's thrilling. I cannot get a sense
of time or place because of being back. I know
that it's too long to complain about jet lag. I'm
still complaining about it because I'm still there. Well, it's
not a just jet lag.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
It's just that it wasn't a vacation, and we were
constantly busy, and most people don't fly three times inside
of their flight to and from home.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
No, No, The traveling that went on within the traveling
was very intense, studying so much. When I want to
write my murder for this week, it was not enjoyable
because there were so many that we had to do
for Australia, and so many that I researched for Australia
and me too because they were so intense. There's some

(09:21):
fucked up, fucked up stories.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I have like five that are half written that I
was going to do from Australia.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Almost.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's almost good though, because now it feels like, well,
you only have three in Detroit and Toronto.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
How great is that that's a fucking walk in the park.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
It's no big deal. That's a cake walk in the park.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
There's something about Australian true crime that is very dark.
It's like, oh my god, it is for some reason,
maybe it's this judgment feels darker than regular.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
It feels like the only murders there are huge murders.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yes, there's no like, they don't have guns, so it's
not like there's drive bys.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
No, it's like a guy that it's got like, picked
up a handful of red clay and painted his face
red and then hidden the bushes to intentionally kill the innocence. Yeah,
like it's a lot of that.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Over and or killed his family on the next level
of family killing.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yes, what is that familiar side? Yeah? Yeah, I just
picked the story that's the best to tell in terms
of you're not going to fucking believe right right. Also,
I've dipped into like ghost stories and shit, I've gone
when I can't go directly to it, which is a
thing that like, I know a lot of murderers are like,
I'm a murder, you know, have been since day one.
This is my jam, which is great, but not everybody

(10:35):
does it. Twenty four to seven and like I personally
can't do it, so I have Yeah, I definitely have
like murder fatigue right now because I just don't want
I don't want to read about another ax, but I
just don't want it. I can't get enough. I still
can't get enough.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Like I had to, was researching a murder and then
ended up, you know, watching six others on YouTube, which
is like how the most fucked up ones, and then
I was like, this isn't even what you're talking about
this week's stop.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I have to like make myself stop watching it. Oh.
I did the same thing where I kept there's all
kinds of Somebody tweeted this actually because there was a
BuzzFeed list that's like sixteen of the most fucked up
murders you've never heard of Jesus, which as someone tweeted
us and all I'm ready murdering nos say, yeah, right,
like try try me basically, And they were most of
ones that we've all heard, but I always I read

(11:25):
those I go through and I'm like, of course I've
heard it, heard it, heard heard it, And I feel
like now I'm at that point of like it's almost
like a magic the gathering level nerd murder nerd thing
where I've I feel like I've had my hands in
it for so long that I just am like just for.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
A little while, like I don't want to play this
game anymore, just.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
For a little while. And maybe it's just the traveling.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Okay, before we started this podcast, I would have to
take long breaks from murderer stuff because I would get
really depressed. So the only thing that's kept me from
that now, which i've because we've been doing it NonStop.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Is this a job now?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
But I fucking would get dark and deep and depressed
and scared of the world.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, because it's it's scary. It's scary. It's definitely scary.
On a positive note, self care everybody, Uh, Steven harolded
and lauded at all all through Australia. People lost their
she basically at his secondary meet and greet line where
people would walk away from us and then walk over
to Steven's meet and greet And I think I have

(12:31):
a present for Steven, Like I need to go give
this to Stephen and have him sign this. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
A couple of people are like, can Stephen be in
this photo? And we made him do Now, Stephen has
a signature pose, which is on one knee with his
shin on his biss.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's kind of us yeah star prom thing. Yeah, it's perfect.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Oh can I shout out a fucking podcast that I've
been listening to that I really love, podcast Corner.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
It's called The Fall Line.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's a female investigative journalist who every season is going
to talk about marginalized crimes and marginalized communities in Georgia. WHOA, yeah,
because I think that's where she's from. So that's kind
of what she's doing.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
She kicking off with the Atlantic child Killer.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
No, she's she's like doing ones that we don't know
about that are have been like bungled. Oh yeah, So
this is the nineteen ninety The first one's in nineteen
ninety disappearance of these twin sisters, Dannette and Jeannette Millbrook.
There were fifteen year old African American girls on their
way home. Good girls. They weren't gonna be the typical
not runaways. Fucking disappeared of course quote the runaways and

(13:38):
never got looked into. And so this is actually like
reopening the case and they're looking into it again now
and it might get another one of those ones again
in Georgia where it might get solved.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, that's amazing. On the sun they tried to do
runaways in the nineties. Fuck yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I mean it was a poor neighborhood in Georgia and
you know, in Georgia African American community. But like the
girls had seizure medication and didn't have it with them,
Like you don't run away without.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Your cazure medication. You sure don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
And they were good girls, and not that bad girls
don't also good disappear.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Right, But that's part of the when it's the disenfranchised
cultures that the people, the larger media or the larger
interpretation is always they were asking for it.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Saf dissumption is they did something and they deserved it
and that's why it happened.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Right. But then they're because I think the people think
that way, so they can just break off from any
kind of care emotional responsibility and it's like, not my problem,
but it.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Won't happen to me or anyone I love, because well,
this is a really good one because she she looks
into all the possibilities, including out like a couple serial
killers in the in the town, one of which sounds
so fucking likely. Wow, And uh, it's just a really
it's one of those you know, female investigative journalists and.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Podcast podcast that has a ton of fucking empathy.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
So it's you feel it too. That's great. So that's
the fall that sounds amazing. The fall line that makes
me think that our friend Joe Thornley only her last
name was someone just tweeted at me. She's number one. No,
she's got the number one podcast right now with her
podcast Zealot, which is about cults.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
She was she was the hometown the end of the
Live Sydney Show, which went up last week. She was
the hometown Murder, which we originally brought up because she
said she can moonwalk and we knew it'd be a heavy,
heavy episode, like because of what we're talking about. So
we were like, come up on Moonwalk, by the way,
they have a hometown, and she totally did, and she
was charming as fuck and she's like, I also have
a podcast called Zealot about cults, and I looked at

(15:44):
her Instagram and it was like, oh my god, I'm
number forty six on that comedy. She's also it's about cults,
but it's comedy, which is like so oper ally. Yeah,
I'm number forty six on the comedy the iTunes Comedy Podcast.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
And then I looked at him, like, oh my gosh,
she's number three right below us. Now she's number one.
She's fucking number one, girl, girl, that's so what happened
with us? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Oh, I messaged her on Instagram was like, I've got
I know how you fucking feel right now. You fucking
enjoy this. It's the coolest thing that's ever happened.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's so good.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yeah, I'm so happy for her. Yeah, she deserves that.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
It's so funny, and it was purely because she sent
the perfectly. The concept of the tweet was you guys
might not feel like talking by the time you get
to the end, let me come up and moon walk
for you. And just the idea of that was so hilarious.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
I can't of imagine that we would have picked that
because it's not what we do.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
No, it's just like a sidebar. But it was so funny.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
It was so funny, and she definitely moonwalked too.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I mean, that's good. Following she moonwalked in high heel.
Oh my god, that's crazy. It was great. It was great,
happy for her anything else. I haven't watched the confession tapes.
I don't want to talk about it. I watchet literally
forty tweets a day saying watch it.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Confession thost Confessions are not my thing because they stressed
me out so much, so stressful, and I can't wrap
my head around them. Even though I understand the ins
and outs, it's just so hard. I get so angry
and stressed out that I can't watch that. But I
am watching our Jessica bial the Center, The Sinner. I'm
on episode three. I'm really suddenly getting into it. Like

(17:16):
the first episode, I was like, mah, second, okay, third,
I'm fucking there.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, it's good. How about the dirty dirty Bill Pullman.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Oh he's so sexy.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
He's dirty. Oh my, he's a dirty slat. It's a
dirty bird, isn't it. He wants to be shamed?

Speaker 4 (17:31):
And the submission.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I also love that woman that plays is Domini Chix
or girlfriend or whoever that woman is. Yeah, he just
looks like a normal woman. At the second I see
women like that on TV, I'm like, oh my god,
there's just someone we hold on TV. They're letting someone
not emaciated be on TV.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Do you know what else I love about her character
is that she works at a classy restaurant instead of like,
cause she looks like she'd work at a dive bar
in the on the you know, off the drag, It's like, Nope,
she works at a high and restaurant. It's like, you're
not fucking making her this character that everyone thinks she is.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
No, she's like a self possessed, self actualized sex worker
slash ex girlfriend slash something else. It adds to the
interest of like, yeah, this is how complex human beings
actually are.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
The acting is really no matter what, and I think
I'm I think I'm really into it. But even if
I'm not, the characters are really interesting.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I think I'm really into it. Don't fight it, just
like it. No, I'm gonna I bought the I bought
the fucking season pass. I'm in. I'm gonna get my
money's it's great. It's really it's really well acted. Yeah,
I am watching something because as I announced that, I was, uh,
just taking a light a light act break. There's a

(18:44):
show called Toast of London. It don't make me this
all over the if you I'm imagining it right now,
do you or do you like peep Show and show?
I love peep Show. Okay, that's I'm at Barry who
the bigger guy from peep Show? Right, No, no, no,
he's not from peep Show, but he just it reminds
me of when you watch sometimes when I brought watch

(19:04):
British comedy and it's so it's so intelligently funny that
it makes me it like, it makes me feel like
screaming as I watch it.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
As you don't because you have to be quiet the
whole time because you're gonna miss a fuck anything, so
you can't laugh out loud.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
There's listen, yes you have. You're just listening as hard
as you can.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
They're so dry, there's no like punchline.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
And it's like saying everyone wants everyone to be this funny,
like we're doing it here. Why won't you allow people
to do it there? Anyway, it's called Host of London.
He is like kind of a washup actor. It's so hilarious.
From Dark Places, Yes, Garth Marangs, Yes, okay, I love it.

(19:45):
It's like a new series and it is.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Please go watch them ones you've just mentioned. I think
you have to go online probably right.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I think you're all on Netflix. Fuck.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Dark Places and Peep Show are two of the best,
and we.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Can see if Garth Marang's Dark Places is on Netflix.
It's just excellent. Also, there was a clip we have
to stop talking about this, but there is a scene
from Matt Barry's Sketch Show where he goes, I mean,
he's going to help this girl. She's carrying a big fish.
Have you seen it? And they're walking and he's like,

(20:17):
let me take that for you. He's being super fake
sweet to her, and then she goes. He's like, oh,
are you going off this? And she finally goes like, oh,
my boyfriend's apartments are you and throws it And it's
just as somebody did a super cut of all the
times he does that. Oh my god. And he's just
thrown kick drop kicks a dog.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
The minute a girl said, a woman says, I have
a boyfriend, my boy my boyfriend, my boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
You it's so funny.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
And the fish the fish tank had fish in it,
and he broke it and they were on the ground.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, he smashed it as hard as he could them.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Listen.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
So good, it's so good.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
Well, go to YouTube.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
But toast of London is on Netflix and Peep Show's
on still on Netflix, right, and do you know the
Peep Show. They're coming out with a new season. Oh
my yeah, they're like doing a think it's called something,
it's it's sorry, it's not peep Show. But they're coming
out with a news show. Good good, Hey, should we
sit down? Yeah? Should we talk about murder? Let's do it?

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Who the fuck is first? And what are we basing
it off of? I mean Sydney, Sidney, the last show
in Sydney, I'm sorry, the show at the Opera House,
That Opera House show, that show we did at.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
The Opera House. Who went first that time? I believe
you did because you went you went last. You did
the Shark Arm. Shark Arm wasn't sne so then I
was first at second night.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
So it's you, that's me.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Okay, and we're back.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
We're back in the podloft. Podloft days are still happening.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, there's cat bar, you know. Yeah, all the stuff
that we used to talk about. What a compelling podcast.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
You know what I love is that going alone to
our shows became a thing.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
I love that so much.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Like I feel like we talked about a fear and
then everyone knew everyone knows it, and then we like
conquered it.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
I mean, it's the kind of fear that I think
is so relatable. Everyone has it. You don't want to
go somewhere by yourself, and it's so easy to tell
yourself all the things that could happen or the judgments,
and so then it's like almost creating that space where
it's like trust that this would be a good space, right,
and people keep going like it is, you are right.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, it's very satisfying, and I'll say, like I've gotten
over that so hard that I love going places alone.
I feel like mysterious, like I'm Carmen san Diego or
something like that.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
I know, I love it. Can I give a tip
on going places alone? Definitely if it's a party and
maybe this is just for me, but one of my
most successful going to a party alone was kind of
a little bit of a Hollywood one where I was like,
I really want to go to this and it'll be

(22:58):
fun and it's kind of so I know I'll see
people that I know there and it'll be fine, But
it was just that like how do I get through
that front door? And so what I did was I
left my purse in the car, put lipstick and like
the things I wanted in the pockets of this coat
that I loved. That's like it was like basically like
a little swing coat. And then I just wore my

(23:19):
coat all night. So it's like I had this weird
little protection on where I was like, I don't have
a purse where I'm like I just came in from outside.
I had weird little like exchange student energy, whereas like
maybe I'm leaving right now, maybe I'm not from here.
Maybe you don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
You don't know, you just can't know.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
You reminded me the last time I went to a party,
the other thing that you do, you can wait till
someone else is going in by themselves. I didn't do
it on purpose, but I walked up to my friend's door,
and this is a total fucking the Hollywood brag. The
same time, there was a single another single woman walking
in and we met and became friends and walked in together.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yes, I walked into a party.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
With Judy Greer, Oh my god, And it looked like
I came with her and she was the fucking nicest,
Oh good. She brought a candle as a gift. She's
like housewarming gift.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I love hearing that.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
She was the nicest yes, and I brought donuts. She
was lovely.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
She's so good.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
I know, she's such a good actress. And you could
tell she was a little nervous chew walking in alone.
It's fucking Judy Greer.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, it's like when you and I went to that
Megan Malalley party that was like her witches brew party
and all women. And I had the same experience with
Lisa Kudro when you were like one person away from
me because you were talking to somebody.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I was just kind of standing up waiting, and then
she overheard. She goes, did you just say blah blah blah.
I think she was like, are you talking about a network?
And I'm like yeah. She basically was like tell me
about it. And I'm like, okay, Lisa Kudrokudro, Judy Greer,
go ahead, it sounds good. Everybody act as a I love.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
It all right, tips and tricks.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
We've done the rewind.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
And we're getting it all out today.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, if you don't have stuff in your hands, and
you can make it so that you can keep your
hands in your pockets the whole time. If you want
to and make it that you could slide out and
Irish good buye.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
The entire thing.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
At any point, no one would know you're a purely
safe I like it all right. Oh my god, you
wore a t shirt to therapy that said the husband
did it.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
That was my favorite shirt for the longest time.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
I have one that's got a kitten on it and
it says filled with rage.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
That's my favorite.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
I do wear my favorite TikTok sweatshirt, which is this amazing,
hilarious drawing of a frog sitting down trying to touch
his own toes with a cup of tea and an
underneath it says self care See you're just like us.
But that's literally like kind of a one off. There's
not many. I just get to nineties self conscious.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Or I'm just like a band tea kind of a thing.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Don't need anybody reading my body.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Right, It's like it's like a look at me thing.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
You have a band tea, a fucking no sing here,
look at these tits.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
You're the fucker Get over here. I love a strawbay.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
I have a strawberry shirt on right now. Everyone.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
I have many strawberry shirts.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Well it's a very eighties, is it.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, it was a thing in the eighties. Have you
ever seen the eighties or did your sister or anybody
else have the dittos, the jeans that had like little
designs on the back.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Podcasts?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
And then it was like I got ones with cherries
on the back. I got ones with blah blah blah
on the back. Strawberries were big.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
I think it reminds me of the hungry, hungry caterpillar
as wow, oh he's been really happy.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
A wonderful book.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Okay, should we get into it?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, I guess we should. No, I think you should
describe what we're wearing from our child. Okay, it is
time now to get into Georgia's story about Jack Gilbert
Graham and Flight six twenty nine.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
All right, this is the Sorry I just forgot what
I was doing. This is the story of Jack Gilbert
Graham and Flight six twenty nine. All right, So Jack
Gilbert Graham, let's tom Jack was born on.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Flight six twenty nine.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Now, it was like, do I ignore that airplane flying
into this place? Do we have something like a black
box that if we get blown up by an airplane
right now that they can find it, can you save that?

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't think this would survive airplant Upload it right now,
just in case. The apartment has a black box. That's
all the apartments came with black rights.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
That's the thing. That's why you came here. That vintage
ship painting.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
That's a black box. Oh ok, yeah, well so so.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Jack is born on January twenty third, nineteen thirty two,
in Denver, Colorado. I was gonna do this for Denver,
but then I'm like, I'm saving the shit out of this.
He's a second child of Daisy Graham and her second husband.
Jack is born during the Great Depression in nineteen thirty seven.
His dad dies of pneumonia, which is a thing back
in the Great Depression. It caused Daisy. Daisy then and

(28:00):
his mother sent him to an orphanage because of their poverty.
Super bummer. It was a thing back then. Yeah, And
sometimes they just did it like it was a pawn shop,
where it was like stay here for a little while.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's right, I'll come back and get you. Baby farmers, right,
weren't they called baby farmers in England? And I didn't
know that that makes sense, where you just kind of
drop them off and they grow your baby and then
you come pick them back up. They grow your baby poorly,
they grow your baby. But a lot of times what
they would do is kill them and take the money. Yeah,
they would take the money, be like sure, sure, or

(28:30):
we'll totally take care of it and get money from
the state or whatever. Oh no.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
So but then Daisy goes and married and I had
to quote this because it was so good well healed,
meaning rich as fuck. Yeah, Daisy marries a richest fuck
rancher named Earl King in nineteen forty one. She's now
like fucking living the high life. Still doesn't get Jack
from the orphanage. Oh yeah, well that's her old life.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
She wants to get all that behind her.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
She doesn't want to like stress out rancher guy in
his manch He ran away several times to be with
her from the orphanage, but she always brought him back,
which is like, oh no, you're going to raise it.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Oh that's so he would actually get to his mother's
house and she would bring him back the mansion. That's
like something an orphan would make up. She's like, my
mother lives nearby in a mansion, right.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
And she must not just be able to come get me,
So I'm going to make it easier for her and
go there.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
And then she's all, no, thanks, Nope.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Then, when Jack was eight years old, Daisy, she brought
him home to the ranch to celebrate Christmas from the orphanage, like,
come on home from Christmas, buys him a pony, and
he's like, well, if you're buying me a pony, I'm
clearly here to stay.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Nope.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Once Christmas was over, she takes him back to the
fucking orphanage.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Can you imagine living a lavish whatever week life week
long life in the mansion that your mother gets to
stay in, Your mom get a pony, And there was
an older half sister, so I doesn't say, I wonder
if she was actually living there?

Speaker 3 (30:02):
You know.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Also, why don't they just send him to boarding school?
Did they have to be in an orphanage? Sure?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, So the husband, the richestok husband dies and she
takes the money for inheritance, becomes a successful business woman
and still doesn't fucking get him from the orphanage.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
I know you're just telling me a super sad story
this week. That's it. Okay, it's just all about orphans.
Just take that up.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Yeah, well, don't worry. It gets worse, Okay.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
When he's sixteen, he forges papers and he joins the
Coast Guard, but his real age is found out and
he's discharged, which is so sad, where it's like he
might have had a good life if they had just
like he wanted to join the Coast Guard and be
part of the military and they were like sixteen, which
back then was like twenty seven in terms of like

(30:56):
being on your own, you could probably drink already.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I mean, but if it was still during its list
is a little after the depression, because maybe it's like
no free lunches.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah, come back when you're eighteen. Yeah, you're on free
lunch until Yeah, go get your free lunch with the orphanage.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Because maybe they would get in trouble for you know,
that's true dangerous. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
At nineteen.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
So finally, at nineteen, he forged for over four grand
in checks to finance a road trip that got him
and it ended up the forged checks got on two
months into Texas jail for bootlegging and running a police
road block at one hundred miles per hour, which sounds
like fucking fun.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yes, bootlegging.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah. At this point he's like, who gives a fuck. Yeah,
I'm going to go. Everyone in charge is crazy. I'm
going to live my life. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Uh. He's extradited back to Denver's mom pays his debt
and probation is granted. So he then goes to the
University of Denver, which is hilater like he must be
have some must be kind of smart.

I'm gonna go instead go to Alaska and visit your
older sister.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
God I hate her. It's so the people close to
you are the ones that can hurt you the most,
and they do, and why do we let them? Because
you just that's life. That's like, it's a series of
insults and injuries.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, And you're trying to fix yourself so that you
fit into what they want from you, even though they
have no fucking clue what they want from you because
they're broken too.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
And then you realize you fix yourself for yourself, and
you drive through a fucking police roadblock like this is.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
My remember, this is my movie, and you're like, you
have fun, that's right, you're drinking fucking shitty bathtub gin.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yes, you're playing the best. You're just going for it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
And then in Texas of all places, which had to
be fun. Yes, go watch everyone, go watch Paper Moon.
I bet that's what his life was like. That movie
is so amazing.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Or Friday Night Lights.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Oh yeah, they weren't bootlegging.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
In that movie where they could have been.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
There was that one season where the brothers stole copper wiring.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
There was that one season where they had, uh, what's
it called prohibition?

Speaker 2 (36:25):
But what did you say? I just said pot? Oh,
they took some pot. They took pot.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
That the okay, and that I wrote, And that, as
they say, was the final final fucking straw for him. Yeah,
And I was like, or maybe it was the pony
years and years ago. That was the final straw, and
he just like hadn't planned it yet.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
This straw went in and then it was it just waited.
It was benine until it became ali.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Yeah, it just got heavier over the years.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
November one, nineteen fifty five, Jack's like, Okay, you want
to go to Alaska.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Great, let me take you to the airport. Oh, I'll
take you to the airport to go to Alaska. So loaded,
because I just was like, it's literally loaded it. Oh,
all right, I'm gonna let you go. Well, just just
going to the airport by itself. Like the morning we
were leaving for our trip, you were like, come to

(37:18):
my house if you want to ride with us, come
to my house. We're leaving at seven thirty. Da da da.
And then I was just like, I am so stressed,
and now I'm adding another thing to be stress there
waiting for me. Yeah, and I'm gonna screw this hour. No,
I'm going to be on time.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
I think it's better that you not that you would
have done anything wrong. You were there with the exact
same time.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
It's that thing of we were which I think we
did very well with the anxiety of travel.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Oh my god, we had such a good friendship trip.
It was so fun. It was so good.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
We had the best Stephen, thank you for being a
kitten in the in the group of like.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Just Stevens, Stevens saying I get but it's like, yeah,
we're I think we're both aware. But also it's that
thing of like just level anxiety not knowing things walking up.
You never know what the fuck you're doing or where
you're supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Which is great that we have Vince, who could not
let who could not be in charge, not be in
charge if he tried, Yes, and so it's the best. Yeah,
he would never if it was up to one of us,
he would lose his fucking one. Yeah, he would lose
his mind. Me too, Yeah, me too.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Between Vince and then our Australian, our manager Nick, who
was a genius.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
We love you. You're never gonna listen to this podcast.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
He's so punk rock. Yeah he doesn't.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
He was so punk rock.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Yeah, he's the best. He's the best. I want him
to always travel with us. Okay, so sorry, I'm just
I'm setting the table of I now have travel anxiety.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Just hearing travel anxiety, secks, Can you okay picture this?
You're everyone's a little scared of flying. You're anxious at
the airport. Traveling is new, it's nineteen fifty five, like, oh,
passenger traveling is pretty new. And sitting at the in
the airport before you get on your plane is a
fucking like cigarette machine that instead of cigarette sells life insurance.

(39:06):
What before you get on the plane, swear it's a
fucking god.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
This was a thing until the eighties.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
So you go in there and in this case, Jack
puts in a dollar fifty and gets out a life
insurance policy for his mother is about to fly to
Alaska for thirty seven thousand, five hundred dollars, which at
that time is this time it would be almost three
hundred fifty thousand dollars, and it's just like good luck
on your like everyone just bought them and it was like,

(39:35):
hope you don't die.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
It's so perfect, Like it's so perfect. If he has
any bad intentions, he didn't fucking put the machine there,
like he's just using it like everybody at.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
That day, everyone's like it's a thing of like, oh
I better do it for good luck though you know
what I mean, Like of course when I don't do it,
it's gonna it's like having your numbers on Roulett where
it's like you always do thirteen, yeah, but like this
one time, it's like, well what if thirteen comes up?

Speaker 4 (39:59):
So I just always put it on thirteen.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Same with renting a car, Yeah, it's gone to me
the time you don't get rental insurance exactly I did.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
I did that where it's like why did you bring
up rental insurance, dude?

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Because now I have to.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Get it yep, all right, okay, right, So I think
they did away with that on purpose because it's terrifying
to everyone.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
That's terrifying. It also it opens the door to people
who should not be able to just buy life insurance policies.
Hither and Yon, but also don't yon, that was I
got a stuff on that.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
I've never heard that, but I know what you meant.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
It didn't really apply to what I was saying.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
But well, hither and thither it's like here and there.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
But no, I know, but I want to now see
all those machines that they made in the fifties when
they were like making like life is going to be
easier because we have these machines.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
I had like a photo, like a drawing of like
a happy family on the way to that walk into that,
you know, because you'd walk on the tarmac walk. Yeah,
oh god, I bet we could find it. I could,
but we could find one in like American pickers that show,
and then.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
They they must have kept them.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Can I bet there's some that have like it's some
mechanic they're playing mechanic who they were closing down that
and he took it home because because he's a hoarder
and it still has the papers you would get.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Could you imagine?

Speaker 4 (41:15):
Yes, I need that for the podcast off.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
It's such a good idea. Yeah, you need to put
that up there.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Can someone please bring us that?

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Actually yeah, okay. It's just around the same time as automats,
which are the most hilarious there. When cafeterias they pretended
to be automated, but it was just people putting dishes
into those.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Like press it's like pressing d seven.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
It's like a hand coming out and handing you the
like the cream corn.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Or whatever there. Yeah, so you just have a bunch
of plates.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Like one of my one of my time travel like
plans is I would go to an automat because I
love cafeterias more than anything.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yes, a thousand percent, Yeah, I would do.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
When we time travel and then we're going to go
shopping at fucking May Company.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Oh okay, okay, when they run the things like you know,
but they used to run the money along wires abe
they would drop it down, so we like anyway, Okay,
but I want dresses, Yes, you can go do that. Well,
I go look at the dresses and girdles.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Go ahead, okay, great, Okay, well, here's where it gets crazy. Okay, before, Okay,
here's what happened. Wait, let's go back to before.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Wait.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
No.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Jack says to Daisy that he left a surprise Christmas
gift in her suitcase. Spoiler alert, it wasn't a puppy
and I wrote that so it was kind of corny instead.
In Daisy's large tan Samsonight suitcase, alongside the photo album
of Jack and Gloria's wedding that Daisy was going to

(42:45):
show to her daughter in Alaska, he had placed the
neat bundle of explosives. Less than an hour after the
flight took off. The United Airlines flight became the first
confirmed sabotage of a commercial aircraft in the United States
when it exploded mid air.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Oh fuck, have.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
You not seen this crown to remember? Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
It crashed into farmland and sugar beet fields near Longmont, Colorado,
and Daisy and the forty three other passengers and crew
all died.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Oh god.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
The youngest passenger was thirteen month old James Fitzpatrick, the
second the eldest was eighty one year old Leyla McLain.
Five children lost both their parents and the crash pregnant
twenty two year old Carol Binam and her husband both died.
It was the worst mass murder in US history at

(43:40):
the time and remains the worst in Colorado, and was
one of the largest investigations in.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
The FBI history.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Oh my god, I know the FBI obtained so can
I really quickly? I just want to say, also, and
I know it's fucking sidebar nation over here, but I
just finished What's weird about this? That I was planning
on doing this, and then I didn't realize until today
when I finished this audiobook I've been listening to that
is so fucking good.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
But it's about a.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Plane crash, that sabotage that goes the whole story. You
don't find out what happened until the very end, And
in my car at like two o'clock today I found
out and I almost had a pullover because I was crying.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Wow, so good. Was it a true story?

Speaker 4 (44:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:23):
No, yeah, it's a novel.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
It's called Before the Fall by Noah Holly.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
H A w l e y Oh spoiler alert. What
did I say? You said what the ending was? What
did I say you said that it was the explosion? Oh?

Speaker 1 (44:38):
No, it's not an explosion though, it's just it's just
a plane crash.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Oh okay, that's not no, no, no, So the explosion isn't
part of it.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
It's a plane crash that that they have to then,
so I got to talk about how they figured out
what had happened on the in the plane crash by
putting it in the hangar.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
So this same kind of thing happened.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Well, they had a piece together to figure out what
happened in the plane crash, and they do it by
interviews and going back to the day of the crash
and who did what and what happened, and all the
characters are really good. It's not an explosion. Okay, okay,
that's a spoiler alert. I thought that's what you were.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
I just had the name of the book.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
It's called Before the Fall, and the audiobook is great.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
The reader is really good. You know, it's hard to
find that name sounds familiar. Noah, Holly, I bet he
did something really cool. I feel like it's the guy
that I could be wrong, but that might be the
guy that does that does.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
A fargo now, yes, really, yes, okay, coming back, Karen,
just fucking oh my god, your memory is bananas?

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Though your memory is certain ways it is Noah, Holly,
Is it Holly?

Speaker 2 (45:47):
It's h Holly. J A. W. L. E. Y. But
he's not. He does a lot of things, but he
is the reason of fucking Fargo series is so magical
because it's being written. It's a novelist writing a TV show.
So it's like I had pictures.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Yeah, well now I'm even more proud of myself for
finding this fucking book.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
The nice He's got other ones here, so.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
I'm going to download all of them.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Great audiobook, which sometimes I'll be like, don't get the audiobook,
read the book.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
It's better. This was a great audiobook.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
And it's just weird that I'm doing this story at
the same time as this, because I literally I don't
cry at books and movies. And I almost had a
pullover because I was just like so taken aback.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
By some I love a good author, like someone much
really does it right.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
I'm so happy that we that we put that you
put that together. Okay, So the FBI obtained use of
a nearby barn. They reassembled the fragments of the airplane
collected from the site, and they were able to determine
that the explosives were used, which is so incredible to
me that a flight a plane can blow up and
crash and they can still put it together and figure

(46:51):
out what happened.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
They put it together like a huge puzzle. It's incredible.
It's crazy. Those people must be so smart.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
They went, yeah, I'm not gonna say it.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
I'm done with that. I'm done with folder.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
And then they and they determined that which piece of
luggage it had come from. Oh fuck yeah, like it
went off in that piece of luggage. And they figured
out what piece of luggage it came from, and they
figured it out with Daisy's Tan Sampson I.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
All right.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
They so they started looking into her family and looked
into Jack when they found out about his criminal past
with the bootlegging shit. They also determined that Daisy's restaurant
had been damaged by quote a suspicious explosion as well,
and that Jack had received the insurance settlements, which is like, dude,
change your momo a little bit.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Don't keep exploding things.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Locals also suspected Jack of deliberate causing his new pickup
truck to be stuck by to be stuck struck by
a train that year for insurance money. So this guy
was like after insurance money and into explosions. They also
found that when she died, a large part of Daisy's
estate would go to Jack, so insurance money again.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
After a few days of questioning, Jack said, okay, where
do you want me to start? And then, in great detail,
he described building and planting the bomb that killed his
mother and forty three others on flight six twenty nine.
It was constructed of twenty five sticks of dynamite, a
six foot battery, two electric primer caps in case one
of them failed, and a timer set to detonate in

(48:32):
about ninety minutes.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
After he planted it or turned it on.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Working in an electronic shop for just two weeks, he
had given Jack all the expertise he needed to build
the bomb, So this guy must have been fucking smart.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
I then he said, I then took this, and I
then took the sack of dynamite with the battery and
tim are attached, and placed it in my mother's large suitcase.
Based on all that evidence found at Jack's house, he
was arrested charge of sabotage, and later that was changed murder.
After they erects arrest, some newspaper people, radio station people

(49:08):
were able to sneak for cameras and recording into the jail,
and Jack told them, I loved my mother very much.
She meant a lot to me. It's very hard for
me to tell exactly how I feel. She left so
much of herself behind, which I'm like, no, she fucking didn't.
I mean, is that insensitive?

Speaker 2 (49:28):
It's insane of him to say, Yeah, it's super bizarre.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
I think he must have not had our emotions or
feelings that we have. I don't want to call him
the sociopath because people are like, that's not really.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Well it may or may not apply, but he's definitely
was insanely like damaged and abused as a child, and
that the.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Emotional attachments you have were broken. Yeah, at some point.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
His mother repeatedly rejected him. That's like there's some serial
killers that that it only happens once and they.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
He still doesn't mean he didn't love her.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
It could mean that he loved her more really in
a way that we don't feel love, but that feels
like love to someone else.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Well, it's all he knew. Yeah, it's I mean he.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Lived in an orphan He had that thing of like you,
if you don't have emotional attachments to not just your parents,
but to like a caregiver as a young child, you
can't have those to anyone or it's really hard to
change that.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
That's right. It's sad.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Yeah, But he's also a murderer and murdered a bunch
of innocent people.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
I mean, the plan of that, the coldness of the
plan of revenge on his mom, but then just like
total devastation on all these other people, many families. So
it's so evil.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
When asked why he had signed the confession and confessed,
he said that the FBI threatened to point out inconsistencies
and statements made by his wife, Gloria, but he wanted
to keep her out of it. He just didn't want
her to have anything to do with it, so he
was like, I'm going to confess, so she doesn't. You know,
maybe she was lying for him, maybe she was covering
for him.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
He also told prison doctors that he realized.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
He said he realized that there were about fifty or
sixty people carried on the plane, but the number of
people to be killed made no difference to me, it
could have been a thousand.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
When their times come. When their time comes, there's nothing
they can do about it.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
It's almost like he's God, yeah and their time, when
really he had just decided.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Yeah, yeah, he's pretending that that was he was some
kind of like the arbiter of fate or something, or
just like, no, dude, you've just yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
The trial resulted in Colorado becoming the first state who
officially sanction the use of television cameras to broadcast criminal trials.
No federal statute at the time on the books that
made a crime to blow up an airplane because it
was so fucking knew, and that led directly to federal
laws criminalizing airline sabotage in the formation of the Federal

(52:08):
Aviation Administration at the time. Though on the day of
Jack's confession, they wanted to quickly prosecute Jack. The simplest
possible way was premeditated murder of a single victim, his mother,
so none of the other victims they couldn't. They didn't
try him for those. Despite the number of victims, he's
charged with only one kund of first degree murder. He

(52:30):
were canted as confession, but because of all the evidence,
he was found guilty attempted suicide and on May fifth,
nineteen fifty six, he was convicted of the death of
the murder, sentenced to death, executed in the gas chamber
in January of nineteen fifty seven, and before his execution,

(52:51):
he said about the bombing, as far as feeling remorse
for these people, I don't. I can't help it. Everybody
pays their way and takes such answers. That's just the
way it goes. And about his mother's murder, he said,
I wanted her to go. I watched her go off
for the last time. When she was getting on the plane,
I felt happier than I'd ever felt before in my life.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
And that's fucking our friend Jack Gilbert Graham in Flight
six twenty nine.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
I like in those kind of quotes where you can
really it really almost surmises the insanity of the person,
where it's like you are totally cut off from empathy.
You don't give a fuck about anybody, but you're revenge.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Not even in a way of like you're about to die,
it doesn't matter. Apologize to the family is even if
you don't fucking mean it, Like you can't even give
them some kind.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Of because he doesn't care. He doesn't have a connection
to care about those families.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
It's always it's impossible for us to understand.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Well, and also it's but the thing I think it's
interesting is like family is the source of his insanity
or his damna. So he doesn't care about those families.
He never had a family. He's like, fuck your He's
probably more mad that they had family.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
He's probably thinking that they feel the same way about
their families as he does about his, because he doesn't
know what it's like to feel any feelings about your.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Family, only just negative or shitty or like yeah, shitm crazy.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Oh and go look him up, go look at his photos. Look,
he looks like if our friend Matt wrong, Matt Bronger
was playing a yokel with a widow's peak. Oh like
Grease Backair. Yeah, our friend comedian Matt Bronger playing a
role as a yokel.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
Nice. Yeah, well that was good, thank you, thank you.
It's fun to base them on TV shows. Yeah, a
lot of very hard work gets done for you. Yeah,
and it's just a retail dude that they only set
it up.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
So I knew the opposite stupid thing where I'm like,
I'm gonna do this hard one, and then it's like
it's so hard that nobody's ever made a documentary about
it except for some fucking person who has like they's
so you looked on YouTube for your murder and there's
just these people. And I don't want to insult other people,
but I am, uh, they make these like story they
tell the story on video with pictures and things like that,

(55:11):
but it's a computer voice.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
Yeah, And then the murder when it's.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
So weird, Well, I feel like it might be a
lot of there's like students. It feels to me like
students that have to do a presentation for a class
or something, because there's oftentimes the wording is very odd,
but it's almost like people are trying to sound news person. Yeah,
but it's the it's at that point, it's the the

(55:39):
automated race, which I'm like, just any human.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Can read the Wikipedia page. It doesn't matter. Someone's gonna
like your voice.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Just read it. Maybe they have a weird high voice
maybe or a strangely low voice.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
Well maybe, I mean I have a fucking lisp and
a what's it called auto tune? No, what's it called
when you have like the thing or you.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Don't an Oh you're from California. Yeah, I have a
list in an auto tune. Never had a problem with
the lot of my voice this.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
Entire time was auto tune.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
It would be tough. That would be tough to keep
it natural. And okay, we're back. Are there updates for
this story?

Speaker 1 (56:23):
No updates, although we were just talking about how the
awesome TV show A Crime to Remember did this story,
So go look that up.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
It was really well done.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Just so you guys know, the thirty seven thousand, five
hundred dollars life insurance policy that Jack took out on
his mother would be worth today four hundred and fifty
three thousand dollars plus, which is a lot of money.
And also our episode title came from the story. Karen
says that selling insurance at the airport opens the door

(56:55):
to people who shouldn't be buying life insurance policies hither
and yawn, Yeah, I'd never heard before.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
I don't care. I'm going to go ahead and throw
some old people talking at any chance I get.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
I love it. Let's go see a picture after this.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
It's a picture, all right, Let's get to Karen's fucking
story about son of Sam. Okay, yay, now I gotta
be told a story. I love going first because then
I get to sit back. I know, not gonna be
told a story, and you just get to relax. I went,

(57:31):
I don't know what I was doing. Here's what I
actually did. Okay, let me hear your process. Would you
want to go behind the scenes. I do, and just
go behind the music for a second to do welcome
pop up video time.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
I wanted to do a supernatural murder, but that's like
a made up thing it is, essentially, but that's what
I wanted. I just wanted to be a little bit
the planet, a little bit, and so I eventually found
the story of a man named Carl Pruitt who found
and this was like in the thirties. He found his
wife in bed with another man. He strangles over a
rusty chain. Then he commits suicide. The family has him

(58:06):
buried far away. I wrote this whole fucking thing up
until I found buried far away. Uh and then a
kid people start noticing that there are rings appearing on
his gravestone. Rings, rings and concentric rings that are linked
like a chastic lay like a chain. So a bunch

(58:29):
of kids are playing in the cemetery and they a
boy throws a rock at the headstone. Great place to play,
by the way, Yeah, that's where the good times are.
He throws a rock at the headstone, chips it. They
all go to ride their bikes home. He falls off
his bike and the bike chain wraps around his back
and strangles him to time. Right, So when the mother
this is the season two of Stranger Things, the mother

(58:51):
finds out and here's all the town gossip of it
was because he was he desecrated the headstone of the killer,
of the chain killer. And so she goes down with
an axe to take the headstone apart. The next day
she's found hanging in her own clothesline. Oh my goodness.
So then it basically goes on and on. I'm like,

(59:12):
this is the best. This is going to be amazing.
I get to the end of the article and the
person who wrote the article begins to deconstruct ghost stories
in America. I know, oh, this is fake, Like Carl
Prutt never existed, this person never existed. Can't find any
of these people in any public record. And then I
had to start over. I was really mad because it

(59:34):
was so perfect and yet it was such a creepypasta
like oh, and then then these people, every single thing
was someone strangled with the chain if they tried to
touch the headstone. Jesus, I don't know how.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
I don't know how you can find a murder that
gets you out of the murder world.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Well, no you can't. I'm just I don't even know
what I'm doing. So then I went all the way
in and I'm doing Son of Sam. Oh that was
not I thought was going to happen. I just fucking
turn that car around.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
But you know why, you know, I understand it's because
he doesn't mutilate anyone. That's right where it's almost like
he listen, murder is murder and it's fucking horrible and awful.
Instead of Sam as a monster. But when you don't
have to talk about someone's for us, I don't mean
like they're certain murders, but when we don't have to
talk about women getting their boobs cut off, yes, and

(01:00:24):
being raped and savage, which I'm doing right now, it's
almost like a relief.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
It is because it still qualifies, and he's very famous
and everybody knows who he is, but he did. He
was on a murder spree in the seventies that was
so strangely distant and odd disconnected, just totally disconnected and
yet very specific. He was like, I don't know if
a lot of people know this. I certainly didn't before
I started reading about it. He only shot women with long,

(01:00:54):
dark hair.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
No, I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
I didn't either. He's a total fucking ted Bundy in
that style. So it's just interesting, like it's it's a
it's definitely a thing where you can dip in, but
you don't have to go into it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
There's not even a stab which which is there? Let
me stop you Okay, you know what, Why don't you
do your murder? And I'll stop because that's what's interesting.
So he also was a product of an elicit affair
and his mother gave him away. Uh right after he
was born to.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
A couple named Pearl and Nathan Berkowitz who lived in
the Bronx, and he was a troubled youth. Neighbors say
he was a bully. He was he was an asshole,
he was really spoiled. He was really difficult and uh,
he from an early age began engaging in petty larceny
and arsons arson our. Right, So there's I couldn't find anything.

(01:01:55):
I actually looked it up specifically of like, did something
happen to him that he never talked about? But his
mother died of breast cancer when he was fourteen. That's it, man,
that's got to be a huge well shock. Then his
father remarries. He doesn't like his new stepmother, so in
nineteen seventy one, when he's eighteen, he joins the army

(01:02:16):
and he serves for four years. He's given an honorary
discharge in nineteen seventy four, and while he's serving in
the army, he has his first and only sexual encounter
with a sex worker.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
The result of that encounter gave him a venereal disease. Shit,
and the psychiatrist or whoever say that after that, whoever
word on the street was that because of that experienced
specific experience, he became enraged with women.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Which we know can't be true. Like you had that
boiling down somewhere ready to burst. It's not like with women.
And then you're like, oh shit, crabs.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
No exactly right, Well, yeah, and that's probably not crabs.
I don't know, shit, crabs, women, it's already a problem.
He's one of those people that, yeah, if you're a
bully that doesn't get along in as an asshole everybody,
you're not also a lady killer. That's probably not happening, right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
I just love that they can blame it on this
one like they're blaming it on the woman, right, you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Know what I mean, which is just like of course. Also,
when he gets out of the army, he looks up
his birth mother, and his birth mother explains how she
gave him away because he was illegitimate. A forensic anthropologist,
Elliot Layton described this as the primary crisis of his life.
Finding out that he was an illegitimate child that his
father didn't want him shattered his sense of identity. On

(01:03:50):
top of that, the old VD no crabs that he
started a spate of arson fires in the early seventies.
He actually, well, well we can talk about this later,
but that was his first crime was arson and he
would go and light these fires all over the Bronx
and and the surrounding area. If only I knew what

(01:04:13):
that what city is that in Manhattan? Uh's no, he
kept it over in like in his in the Bronx.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Eat and burrows other boroughs, other boroughs, and then other
he burrows Brooklyn.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
Let's say, Brooklyn, there's Queens.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
There's Queens, and Queens comes up quite a bit in
this city. Go to Long Island. I don't know. I
doubt he would make that drive. Okay, he did become
a mailman. So Christmas of nineteen seventy five, he stebs
two women with a hunting knight on the streets of
New York City. Jesus, but they fight back. This is
Christmas Eve night. They fight back and he flee. He

(01:04:47):
flees the scene. They're not killed. Wow, that's his first attempt.
And that's when he switches over to a forty four
caliber bulldog snubnosed shotgun.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
Noverrekne of a handgun a gun.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
It's a forty four caliber gun that he uses for
the rest of his time. So July twenty ninth, nineteen
seventy six, this is in Pelham Bay. The Bronx one
ten Am and Donna Lauria who's eighteen and Jody Valenteo's nineteen,
are sitting in Jody Valenti's car outside Donna Laurier's apartment
and they're talking about the night they just spent at

(01:05:20):
Peach Trees, which was the local disco. Oh, peach Trees. Oh,
this is if you see the movie Sounder Sam, the
Spike Lee movie starring John Leguizamo. It's actually really hilarious
and great because disco exploded like in this period of time,
and so you know around New York City people were
just at discos every night, and that lifestyle was like

(01:05:42):
a big just like it's.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Just clubbing, yes, with disco music, it's clubbing with polyester.
Oh man, I'm so glad. I hope when we go
back in time we don't end up there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
I mean I can feather my hair.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
So I feel, okay, it probably be a good disco queen.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
I might be good, but I don't want I don't
want to show my arms, and that's going to be
a big problem at the disco.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
I hate disco music and cocaine. So I feel like
i'd just be like in like sitting in the corner
and being like, can we go?

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
We're such opposites, I know, coming out to a dive bar. Please. Okay.
So they were at Peachtrees. They're sitting in the car
talking about it. Jody opens the car door to get
out to walk up to her house and sees a
man walking really fast toward the car. That's so scary.

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
Image, it's so scary.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
A man walking fast towards you is like just punch
at one in the morning, one in the morning, right
outside your house.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Hunch. He pulls a forty four caliber handgun out of
the paper bag, kneels down and fires five times into
the car. Donald Loria was hit in the neck and
killed instantly. Jody V. Lunt, he was hitting the thigh
and then she leaned on the horn and the attacker
turned and walked quickly away, which is also creepy.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Yeah that you don't run because you know not to
run because that's suspicious.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Yep, you just walk quick away like your business is
done here, Okay. So Jodie describes him as a white
male in his thirties with a fair complexion, about five
nine weigh one hundred and sixty pounds, short, dark curly
hair in the quote maud style.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Good for her for knowing all that, like remembering all
these details.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
So also, Laura's father also saw him and told the police.
A similar looking man was sitting in a yellow compact car.
How all night. He had been cruising the area hours
before the shooting, and several neighbors actually saw a man
in a yellow car cruise in the area. So about

(01:07:34):
three months later, Carl de Naro, who is twenty, and
Rosemary Keenan the old Italian Irish Combination fire eighteen, they
were talking outside Keenan's house when, according to Keenan, it
felt like the car exploded. So what had happened was
that car was fired on five times. Naro, Carl de Naro,

(01:07:58):
who was in the driver's seat, put into driving speeds
away and only later do they realize he's been shot
in the head.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
He ended up getting he survived. He ended up having
to get a plate in his head just to replace
the skull, the part of his skull. That was wow.
The police did not attack DIY did not link this
attack to the Lauria Valenti attack because they were in
two different precincts, so they were just separate shootings.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
Weird, right, crazy, Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
I mean this was New York in the late seventies,
so there was tons of crimes. Yeah, that's true. But
Rosemary Keenan's father was a New York city. I can't
remember if his detective or a police officer, but basically,
once the daughter of one of their own, they turned
up the intensity on this specific investigation and she didn't die.

(01:08:53):
She didn't die. Neither of them died, but they could
They didn't have that much evidence. There wasn't a lot
to go on. So a month later, Donna Demassi and
Joanne Lomino had just walked home from a movie theater
and they were talking on Joanne's front porch and they
see a man in army fatigues approaching them.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
Well, I guess it's like Vietnam. So it's not that weird.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
I mean, not really, But here's what's weird. Sort I
hate he's asking for directions in a high pitched voice
before he finished it, so he starts asking the question.
Before he finishes a sentence, he pulls out the gun
and shoots both of them. Donna was shot in the
neck but recovered. Joanne's hitting a spine and shoes paralyzed.

(01:09:37):
A neighbor claims to have seen a blonde man running
away from the scene clutching a gun. Okay, So January thirtieth,
nineteen seventy seven, this is at the Forest Hills Long
Island Railroad station in Queens at two forty in the morning.
Christina Frond and her fiance John Deel had just seen
Rocky and they were about to go to a disco.

(01:09:57):
It's at a dance hall in Wikipedia, but I would
assume that means a disco. And as they're sitting in
the car, three gun shots. Someone shoots into the car
three times in a panic. Deal drives away. He suffered
minor superficial injuries, but Christina Frond was shot. A friend
was shot twice and died several hours later in the hospital.

(01:10:20):
Neither of them saw their attacker. So now the police
make their first public acknowledgment that the Front Deal shooting
was similar to the other incidents and all of the
crimes could be associated because all of the victims had
been struck with forty four caliber bullets. The shootings seemed
to target young women with long black hair, and the

(01:10:42):
police announced that they were looking for multiple suspects.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
Can you imagine, like, let's say that happen right now
in La If that was going on, I wouldn't want
to leave the house.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Do you know that? Actually it wasn't here, but it
was a little while later, after a couple more of
these murders, when they when that fact of that it
was women with long, dark hair. There was a rush
on women getting their hair cut really short, like Dorothy
Hamill and died lighter. And that's why that trend. I mean,

(01:11:16):
like that's in New York City. All women got their
hair cut and died. And they said that there was
a shortage of wigs at beauty supply stores because everyone
was just going bat shit, like in one day. Once
they made that announcement, everyone got their hair cut. Yeah,
I love that idea. Okay. So March eighth, Columbia College
is still nineteen seventy seven. At seven thirty in the evening,

(01:11:37):
Virginia vokes shirt vokes cher Richian walks home from her
classes at Columbia. A man walks toward her, and when
he gets close, he pulls out a gun and fires
into her face. She put up her books to protect herself,
but she was killed in stilly and moments later a neighbor,

(01:11:59):
one of her neighbors, rounds the corner. He hears the gunshots,
and then he nearly collides with the person who he
described as a short husky boy. Aged sixteen to eighteen,
clean shaven, wearing a sweater and a watchcap, sprinting away
from the scene, and other neighbors matching that same description

(01:12:22):
reported a teenager loitering in the area for about an
hour before the shooting. In the following days, the media
report police claims that this quote chubby teenager was the suspect.
There are no direct witnesses to her murder, and she
lived about a block away from where Christine Freud and
her fiancee John Deal were shot. March tenth, nineteen seventy seven,

(01:12:46):
NYPD holds a press conference stating that the weapon used
in Virginia Volkesshirt Cherrians Voscar Richians I think is Voscar
Richians murder is also a forty four Bulldog, the same
weapon used in all the other shootings. And of course
this whole story, the New York Daily News and the

(01:13:09):
Post go crazy on the on the daily it's just constant,
constant R page. Fine, what's it called fear mongering? Well
you should be frayed. But yeah, yeah, well, I mean
they were finally like justified. It also went international. They
were naming there's the name in the Wikipedia article. Like
all the you know, the Vatican had an article about
it in the Vatican newspaper or whatever. So April seventeenth,

(01:13:32):
this is a month later. Basically in the Bronx, it's
three am and Valentina Suriani, who's eighteen, and Alexander Esau
who's twenty, are sitting in Valentina's car, kissing and each
one is shot twice. Soriani died instantly, Esau died a
few a few hours later in the hospital. And it's

(01:13:52):
says again it's a forty four and they were only
parked a few blocks away from the Lauria Valenti shooting.
So then at the crime scene they find a handwritten
letter and it's from the killer and it's addressed to
police Captain Joseph Barelli. And this is where the name

(01:14:14):
son of Sam comes from. Is this letter? Okay? So
basically it reads I'll do I'm just going to do pieces.
Because it's really long. It starts out, I am deeply
hurt by you're calling me a woman hater. I am not,
but I am a monster. I am the son of Sam.
I am a little brat when father, When father Sam
gets drunk, he gets mean, he beats his family. Sometimes

(01:14:38):
he ties me up to the back of the house.
Other times he locks me in the garage. Sam loves
to drink blood, go out and kill commands father Sam
behind our house some rest. I don't know this at all.
It's just fucking crazy nonsers. Yeah, but it ends like this.
I want to make love to the world. I love people.

(01:15:00):
I don't belong on earth. Return me to yahoos to
the people of Queen's. I love you, and I want
to wish all of you a happy Easter the ship.
May God bless you in this life and then the next.
And for now I say goodbye and good night. Police.
Let me haunt you with these words. I'll be back.
I'll be back to be interrupt to be interpreted as

(01:15:24):
bang bang bang bank bang uh yours and murder mister monster.
So I am that is I can't even Yeah, it's nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
That was like even scarier to them that were like, oh,
we're not This isn't a calculated person. This is a
fucking lunatic. How are we going to track down a
lunatic because you can't use logic?

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
That's right. Also, yeah, that that wasn't nailed. It was
left at the murder scene. So it's somebody that kills
people and then drops something intentionally.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Totally all of it is he's them, Yeah, Jesus.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
So several psychiatrists are consulted and there's a psychological profile
drawn up based on this letter, and he's described as neurotic,
probably suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, who believes himself to be
the victim of demonic possession. So May thirtieth, nineteen seventy seven.
So at that time, the Daily News had a columnist,

(01:16:25):
very famous man named Jimmy Breslin, who was like super
famous in New York. A lot of people out not
that many people outside know him, but he was like
he was like one of those like tough, you know
reporters of New York that I was, you know, hard
boiled he was. I would call him hard boiled. Yeah,
oh way, someone to call me hard boiled one day.
They will, they will. So the Son of Sam sends

(01:16:48):
Jimmy Breslin a letter, oh shit, And on the back
of the envelope he wrote the phrases blood and family,
darkness and death, absolute depravity, and just forty four with
a dot in front of him, So like forty four
caliber and then I'll just read you how it starts,
because it's just more blather. But it starts. Hello from

(01:17:09):
the gutters of NYC, which are filled with dog manure, vomit,
stale wine, urine, and blood. I'm gonna say wrong. I
know he's fucking dead on It's summertime, so he's probably
very frustrated. Hello from the sewers of NYC, which swallow
up these delicacies when they are washed away Jesus by
the sweeper trucks. Hello from the cracks and the sidewalks

(01:17:29):
of NYC, And from all the ants that dwell in
these cracks and feed in the dried blood of the
dead that is settled settled into these cracks.

Speaker 4 (01:17:37):
This is poetry, is it?

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
JB. I'm just dropping you a line to let you
know that I appreciate your interest in those recent and
horrendous forty four caliber killings. I also want to tell
you that I read your column daily and I find
it quite informative. Tell me, Jim, what will you have
for July twenty nine? Mm hmm? See this one? He
seems smart right, almost as if he might be putting

(01:18:02):
on an ask sure of some kind. Okay, so the
daily News publishes this letter a week after they get
it with the column from Jimmy Breslin urging the killer
to surrender himself. And this article made that day's paper
the highest selling edition of the Daily News ever. They

(01:18:23):
sold more than one point one million. Wow. Uh oh.
And it's after that that with Jimmy Breslam's column, this
is when all the women get their haircut, which I just.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
That's in the movie too. Yeah, and it's hilarious. I
saw it when it came out. I don't remember it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
Yeah, it's a good movie. I liked it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
I just remember that from Ted Bundy too, Like, didn't
a bunch of girls? Yes, who had the same haircut?
Hell yeah, change that fucking shit. Hey highlights everybody? Yeah,
how about a high highlight, Bob?

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
Yeah right. I also love Son of Summer of Sam
the movie because it's it's almost entirely focused on disco. Yeah.
The murders almost seem like an after The murders.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Almost seem like they're powering disco, you know what I mean?
Like disco is a response to the murders.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
That's right, or disco is because the murders are creating disco.

Speaker 4 (01:19:16):
Listen, John like Wizamo, is that just the dream?

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Listen, did you want to finish that? Look? Okay, look,
oh no, that's it. I interrupted you to then say nothing. Okay.
So now we're in July June twenty sixth, nineteen seventy seven.
This is Bayside, Queens. So yeah, it's like for people

(01:19:41):
I am from California. So when we talk about all
these different parts of all these different boroughs in New York,
Queens is a borough. Basize is a part of Queen's okay,
right right? I mean the Bronx is a borough. And
then the part of the Bronx that I.

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
Was talking before, the Forest Hills, Long Island, like the
Upper east Side is part of my Manhattan.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
Yeah, it's own neighborhood. Right yeah, Manhattan's a burrow. And
then the Upper Eastside part of that Brook.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
Williamsburg is like, let's go on for an hour and
they neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
I'm going to say the wrong thing for sure here
and all it can picture the people I know who
live in New York being very mad at me. Well,
do I think they're better than us? Also, maybe I'm
doing it for attention. Maybe I want you to be
mad at me maybe I like it all right. The
morning of June twenty sixth, nineteen seventy seven, it's three am,
Judy Placido and sal Lupo, which that I think Salopo

(01:20:33):
might have been the main character in Summer of Sam. Oh,
it just sounds familiar to Okay, but I could be
making it up.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
No, I trust you on name recognition. This is where
that all falls brock. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
They have just left the Elephis Disco and they're sitting
in the car and the cars hit by three three
gun gunshop blasts. So Salalupo is wounded in the right forearm,
Judy Placido is shot in the right temple, in the
shoulder and in the back of the neck. They both survive,

(01:21:07):
which is incredible, these people who are surviving these.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Mortal up close gun blasts. Yeah, it's just bananas. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
So sal Lupo tells the police they had just been
discussing the case of Son of Sam right before the
gunshots hit. Okay, So about a month later, it's July
thirty first, nineteen seventy seven. Stacey Moskowitz, who doesn't know
skit Stacey Moskowitz, And I mean like the second I

(01:21:36):
read that name, I was like, I went to Junior
highwaver So Stacey and her boyfriend Bobby Violante are taking
a walk in the park late at night, very brave,
but they go back to their car when they see
a man watching them. Oh no. But then when they
get back into the car, they were so into each
other that they start making out, so they don't leave
right away. They're kissing in the car when they're hit

(01:21:59):
by bullet. Stacey Moskowitz was shot once in the head.
Bobby Violante had been shot twice in the face. Stacy
was killed, while Bobby Violante would survive, but he lost
most of his vision, but he survived from being shot
in the head.

Speaker 4 (01:22:15):
So these people in the fucking burrows have some survivability.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
It's for real. I mean, it's the New York City, baby, yeah,
uh okay. So this is the shooting that brings out
the most witnesses of any of the other Son of
Sam murders. There was actually a direct eyewitness. So during
the shooting, nineteen year old Tommy Zeno was parked three
cars down or three cars in front of Bobby Violante's vehicle,

(01:22:42):
and moments before the shooting Zano caught peripheral glimpse of
the shooter's approach and then happened to glance in his
rear view mirror just in time to see the actual shooting.
Oh my god. He clearly saw the perpetrator for several
seconds due to a bright street light in the full moon,
and later described him as being twenty five to thirty
years old, five foot seven to five foot nine inches,

(01:23:03):
with shaggy hair that was dark blonde or light brown.
But he said that the shooter's hair looked like a wig.
So about a minute after the shooting, a woman in
her boyfriend's car on the other side of the park
saw a white male wearing a light colored sheep nylon
wig sprinting out of the park and get into a
small and he got into a small, light colored car

(01:23:25):
that drove away, and she said he looked just like
he just robbed a bank. And she also got part
of his license wow four gur or four GVR. There
were other witnesses, one including a woman who saw light
cars speed away from the park twenty seconds after the gunshots,
and at least two witnesses who described a yellow Volkswagen

(01:23:46):
driving quickly from the neighborhood with its lights off. One
of a neighborhood residents. Here's the gunshots. Here's Bobby Violante's
calls for help. Glances out her apartment window to see
a man walking casually away from the crime scene while
everyone else was running toward the sounds of the screaming.
And I'm I'm so excited right now. This is like

(01:24:08):
so tense. Yes, and multiple other residents. So this he
was seen by tons of people. That night, they witnessed
a scruffy looking man with dark stringing hair and stubble
driving a small yellow car recklessly away from the scene.
He almost crashed into a car he ran a red light,
almost crashed into the guy. The guy started following him

(01:24:30):
because he was so pissed that the guy almost killed him,
but he he could only he only followed him so far,
and then he lost him. And then later he found
that it was son of Sam Okay. So on the
same night, local resident Cecilia Davis is walking her dog.
This is this is like the woman that brings it

(01:24:51):
all together, which I love. Cecilia, She's walking her dog
at the scene of the Mosquwitz Violante shooting. So she
sees patrol officer Michael Katano ticket a car, a yellow
car by a fire hydrant, and then moments after that
cop left, a young man walks past her and studies

(01:25:12):
her with some interest, and she feels concerned because he's
got a dark object in his hand, so she said
he was wielding a dark object. She doesn't know what
it is. She just runs home, only to hear shots
fired moments later, so she calls the police. She doesn't
say anything for four days, and then she calls the

(01:25:32):
police and they start checking every car that got ticketed
that night in that area. Fucking chances man.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
And not only did they ticket it, but someone saw
it happen, yep, and then knew about the murders.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
And someone saw what she saw happen was a guy
that gave her weird vibe totally, and then she put
all of it together where it's like, yeah, you got
away from the man that was endangering you, then you
stayed with it. We missed something and then reported it
to love it. Way to go to Cecilia and her

(01:26:05):
dog Marty. Most of the dog Marty.

Speaker 4 (01:26:12):
I'm so excited that that was actually the dogs.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
I'm like, oh, sorry to death. Okay, so the next
day police investigate. They go and they checker Berkowitz's carcase
it's one of the sea that got ticketed that night,
and they see it's parked outside his apartment building building
at thirty five Pine Street in Yonkers, and they see
there's a rifle in the backseat. What huh, how'd your rifle? Yeah? Right,

(01:26:39):
So they search the car. They're like, that's probable cause.
They search the car and they find a Duffel bag
filled with ammunition, maps of the crime scenes, a threatening
letter addressed to Inspector Timothy Dowd of the Omega Task Force,
so they know they probably have their man together. They
put in a request for a search warrant, but they
know they they're very concerned with going into his apartment

(01:27:03):
without having it because they don't want to lose the case.
So they stand out. They wait outside David Berkowitz's apartment
until ten o'clock at night, and when he comes out
and gets into his car, and he had a paper
bag with him and that forty four was inside the bar.
Oh my god. He gets in the car, sits down,

(01:27:24):
and then Detective John Follo Tico approaches the driver's side
and puts the gun right against right next to Berkowitz's temple,
and the detective sergeant William Gardella covers from the passenger
side with his gun inside the car, and David Burkowitz
has taken into castody for the son of Sam murders.

(01:27:44):
They say, it's reported that he was very calm and
very serene, almost seemed happy. Wow. So when they search
his apartment the next day, Apartment seventy, they find the
walls are covered in satanic graffiti. The whole apartment is
a complet mass. There's liquor bottles everywhere, And they also
find three stenographers notebooks where Berkowitz had meticulously recorded hundreds

(01:28:10):
of arson fires that he had set hundreds. Yes, he
had been recording it since he was twenty one. Some
sources allege that the number of arson fires he recorded
was over fourteen hundred. Yeah. Does he recorded or set well?
He wrote them into these notebooks. Yeah, And they believe

(01:28:30):
that they correspond to real fires that happened around Oh
my god, the Bronx and Queens and Manhattan, Manhattan, Brooklyn.
Don't for certainly, don't forget Long Island is Long Island
A Burrow. I think so what about Coney Islands. I
think that's a neighborhood. And what about the islands where

(01:28:51):
the statue of Liberty lives?

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
Oh you mean Liberty Island.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Freedom Island? All right now, people are legit mad, like
even they even they know. He is questioned for half
an hour and then immediately cops to everything and explains
to the cops in great detail all of the crimes
that he perpetrated. And when they ask him why, he says,

(01:29:17):
his neighbor Sam Carr's black lab Harvey was possessed by
an ancient demon and Harvey made him do it because
he wanted the blood of pretty young girls.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
What yeah, so wait, okay, so that's why he called
himself son of Sam. Is the neighbor's name was Sam.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
Sam Carr and Sam Carr's dog like it was he was,
But I don't get it. So uh But later on,
so you know, I've been listening to the audio book
of Those Who Fight Monsters, which is the guy from
the who basically started the FBI ViCAP all that, John E.

(01:29:55):
Douglas I think his name is, But he interviewed David
Berkowitz years later when they were putting together there when
they decided they were going to start profiling serial killers
so they could get profiles of them. Whatever. But he
basically got David Burgerts to admit that all of this

(01:30:17):
shit was fake. The whole thing about the dog talking
to him and everything was completely sorry. It was completely
made up so that he didn't seem responsible and that
he could get off on the insanity plea. And it
was purely because he was so angry at women. He
had never had success with women.

Speaker 4 (01:30:35):
He was an angry man.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
He was very angry. He was very like a spoiled child.
I think it was that thing that he didn't know
how to handle. He wasn't it wasn't his faults and
didn't get it. Yeah, And so he just wanted everyone
to pay for his loneliness and lack of popularity, which seems.

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
Like such a narrative of a lot of spree killers
that are just like they feel entitled and they're pissed
off that everyone else doesn't know that they should be
getting everything they want.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
It makes me think of that boy in Santa Barbara.
They just thinking of that, all those kids in Santa Barbara.
It's the exact same thing where everybody else it's not
anything that has to do with them. They don't take
any personal responsibility. It's everybody else that everyone else has
to pay. It's I guess, narcissism, and you know, it's
a lot of game. Yeah, fucked up shites. Anyway, he

(01:31:30):
basically he is tried, found guilty on June's twelfth, nineteen
seventy eight. He's sentenced to six life terms, totaling a
maximum of three hundred and sixty five years in prison.
They send him to Attica in nineteen eighty seventy becomes
a born again Christian. Good luck with that, and before
his first parole hearing in two thousand and two, he
sent a letter to the Governor of New York. But

(01:31:52):
he lived there, How did I he was still alive? Sorry,
he's still alive.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
Still alive.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Yeah, because he was only in his thirties when he
was first put him to death or something. No, it's
he admitted to everything, so they didn't give him the
det date.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
Okay, go on, Jesus Christ, just blew my mind. I
know it's not crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
Yeah. He sent a letter to George Pataki, who is
the Governor of New York at the time, asking to
have his parole hearing canceled. He said, in all honesty,
I believe I deserve to be in prison for the
rest of my life. I have, with God's help, long ago,
come to terms with my situation and I've accepted my punishment.

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Then in nineteen ninety three he went into this weird
thing where he was claiming to be responsible for Satanic
cult killings. I think he may have gotten bored. He
was trying to say that he didn't he wasn't the
only one responsible for the Son of Sam murders, that
there were other people and it was because of this
Satanic cult and blah blah blah. And when that story

(01:32:55):
came out, Jimmy Breslin himself made this statement. When they
talked to David Berkowitz that night, which is like the
night he got arrested, he recalled everything step by step
by step. The guy has one thousand percent recall and
that's it. He's the guy and there's nothing else to
look at for sure. So, Wow, Heavy was your son

(01:33:17):
of skin Hitter Heavy Hitter, which I always avoid because
it's so much research, So I know I miss big things.
And you know, sorry, Spike Lee, I was.

Speaker 1 (01:33:27):
Going to do a heavy hitter this week actually, or
like I was gonna I was gonna do a heavy
hitter this week.

Speaker 2 (01:33:33):
You know the thing where you're like should I get
this one or should I do that one?

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):
I finished this one out maybe those one yes, And
then it was just like, no, Georgia, you need more
than sixteen hours before you decide to do a heavy hitter.

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
I mean you really do. And I think my Wikipedia
recitation proves that. Yeah, No, that was great. People that
shoot from a distant like, there is something very I mean,
obviously we're saying this. It's just so lame. It's just
so cowardly. Yeah, to like stand from a distance and
shoot a person and then just be like I am
the son of Sam.

Speaker 1 (01:34:04):
It's emotionally detached in a way that you don't expect
from most serial killers, right, who were just like in
it for the suffering and seeing the suffering of others.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Yeah, he was. He wanted to end lives because it
was about his failures as a man. Right, he could
have been a mafia hitman. Yeah, he got fucking painted
his apartment and got a shit together.

Speaker 1 (01:34:31):
It's tough listening to the dogs. Yeah, poor dog was like, dude,
I fucking love everyone. Don't bring me into this bitch
all I want our treats.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
I just want them to bring me inside everyone's while
that's not working.

Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
Why am I in the back?

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
Give me a scratch by in the ear? Everyone's in
a blue and then don't bring me into your story.

Speaker 4 (01:34:47):
I'm not satanic, I am.

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
I love the idea of being possessed by an ancient demon. Yeah,
not a recent demon.

Speaker 1 (01:34:54):
I mean the dog maybe was an ancient demon, but
it was also like, but I'm past that, I'm born again.

Speaker 2 (01:34:59):
Yeah, she'd gotten healthy.

Speaker 1 (01:35:01):
Yeah, okay, and we're back Karen any Son of Sam updates.

Speaker 2 (01:35:08):
There are a couple So. First of all, David Burkowitz
still is serving a life sentence in upstate New York. Then,
also in twenty twenty five, Netflix released the three part
docuseries Conversations with a Killer, The Son of Sam tapes
and that featured interviews with victims, loved ones, researchers, and
former law enforcement assigned to the case. There's also a
new interview with David Berkowitz where he emphasizes his remorse

(01:35:31):
and he acknowledges that he should have gotten help sooner.

Speaker 3 (01:35:34):
Wow. Yeah, I also looked it up.

Speaker 1 (01:35:36):
There was a documentary called The Sons of Sam a
Descent into Darkness, and Paul Giamatti was a voice in
that and it was really good. It talked a lot
about like the culty feeling back then and that like
the cropsy era, just like how there was just something
going on, yeah, like satanic panic wise.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
Right, that there was kind of like dark things happening
and no one could put their finger on it, and
so it was like Satan or it's evil or it's that.
Now we know it's just Epstein. It was just yes.

Speaker 1 (01:36:09):
But also the person who made the documentary thinks there's
more than one that David burk Whits didn't do it
all by himself, which is who the fuck knows whatever?

Speaker 3 (01:36:15):
Okay, I mean very possible.

Speaker 2 (01:36:17):
Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
All right, let's head back to the show where we
are going to wrap it up.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
Well, shit, man, that's that. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:36:28):
Should we say one thing that makes us happy?

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
Oh? Good, idea?

Speaker 1 (01:36:31):
Is it sleeping all week? Because that's mine? Oh dude,
sleeping either has to do something.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
Oh my new car?

Speaker 1 (01:36:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, can that be mine? This is yes, okay,
this is the first new car I've ever had in
my life. Nice, it feels so luxurious. Satroya Corolla, which
is my first car I ever had, my first hand
me down, shitty little car that was just like the
most basic you can get at the time. I'm and

(01:37:01):
this one has like fucking a moon roof and a
fucking and automatic like your seat moves automatically.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
I've never had a car shapes it to you as
you get in, yeah, or it has like the when
you need to move it forward.

Speaker 1 (01:37:12):
It's just like you don't have to it, you know,
you have to do that while you're driving an accidentally
almost hit your face on a steering wheel or crash
right or crash.

Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:37:22):
It has like it has adult things that I never
thought I would ever have in my life. But it's
a Toyota, so it wasn't crazy expensive. As a couch warmer,
which is like to me, the next level of fucking class.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
You can have those all the time. You just you
don't have to wait to get into your car. What
do you mean you can fucking slip something? You can
do an icy hot pad right into your underwear.

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
You trying to get me, It's just like it feels,
it feels grown up. And I'm like, I didn't think
i'd ever care about it something like this, and I'm
really just like pleased and greatful.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
It's great. It's it's nice. It's nice to like be like,
oh I earned something, Yeah I earned it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:06):

reminds me of a little of this, and it was
all like classic bands that you love.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
Yes, it's really fucking good. Yeah it's not. I told
them because we did a show together like four years ago,
and it was just because my friend Kevin is in
the band, and he was like, do you want to
do a sh show with us, and I told him
after the show, I was like, I was so scared
to see your band, because when do you go see
a band and you're like, that was the best thing ever.
It's not that often.

Speaker 1 (01:39:10):
Yeah, it's intimidating when you go see not intimidating when
you go see a friend who's like, come see me
do this thing.

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
You're like, all right, and you're like, oh my god,
you're so talented. Yes, it's just so exciting, and people
are great and there. Their music is just so listenable.

and I am opening for them. Yeah, So I'm going
to do a couple of my old, moldy oldies.

Speaker 1 (01:39:33):
You have some you have some like classic songs, and
then you have some comedy songs too, right, Yeah, are
you going.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
To do I don't think I have classic songs.

Speaker 4 (01:39:40):
You don't do a lot of like well, then you
have like sad ones.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
Songs like like a good Bye Yellow Bick Road.

Speaker 1 (01:39:46):
Yeah, no, just like not not outright comedy.

Speaker 2 (01:39:51):
Some of my comedy songs make you sad exactly. Yeah,
but I can still hide behind the comedy part. So
that's good. Yeah, I'm only going to do a handful.
If I was at the show and someone did like
if there, I would be like, get off the day.
I just want to see this band, please, So I
need to see you play. I'm excited to play because
I haven't done it in a while. I haven't seen

(01:40:12):
you play since i've known you. Oh yeah, you got it.
I did a show, that's right. I did a show
when we were in Denver. I got to do for
the High Planes Comedy Festival. I got to go do
a variety show after our show, which was super fun,
and a bunch of people that were at our show
came to that show too, and I thought it was

(01:40:33):
going to be kind of shitty because I hadn't played
publicly in a really long time, and it was super fun.
So I'm super looking forward to it. But more than that,
if you like good music, I would recommend being at
this show. I think, yeah, I think it's Kinna, I'm excited.
I mean, Stephen, how long was that? Steven? Stephen?

Speaker 1 (01:40:58):
Yeah, okay, we're back all right.

Speaker 2 (01:41:03):
So, as Georgia said, this episode was originally titled Hither
and Yon.

Speaker 1 (01:41:07):
But here are some possibilities we were naming it today
based on the episode.

Speaker 2 (01:41:11):
We could call it Cakewalk in the Park from when
Georgia talks about writing free stories.

Speaker 1 (01:41:18):
I want to use that for something that's like gotta
be a book. And then we could also call it
clubbing with Polyester.

Speaker 3 (01:41:25):
That's right, love it?
