Welcome in all you faithfuls and traders for the episode
of By Order of the Faithful. It's a short, little
episode just talking about the holidays. I'm Wells's Adams on
alongside the lovely Dolores Catania. Happy holidays, Dolores.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Happy holidays. Are you excited for the holiday as well?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I love the holidays? And here's the thing. I assume
we both grew up in very Catholic households. I assume
very much. Yes, So obviously Christmas time is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Big deal. It's Jesus' birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, it's yeah, it's jay C's birth dude, and my
mother's too.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
They share this. She goes, if it's good enough for Jesus,
it's good enough for me.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But I do love. I do love the holidays. I
come from a big family, so I'm the youngest.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You're the youngest of five. I'm the second oldest of five.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Really yeah, so I love like the gathering of family
and friends and everything. But this year is gonna be special.
You know, my wife's doing this Broadway show, so we're
going to be in New York and I have to say,
there is nothing more. There is no magical place in
the world that's more perfect for the holidays than New
(01:09):
York City.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Honestly.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
You know, I was in Cologne, Germany a couple of
years ago around this time, and I went to the
Christmas markets and it started to just flurry and I
felt like I was in a living snow globe.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, it was amazing and beautiful.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Plus I'm a history buff and I know like Cologne
and World War Two. It was just just a really
beautiful experience. But there's no place like New York City
no matter what. It's like magical and beautiful, and the
windows and the lights and the tree and you know,
just to see all the people so.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
And it's so close, it's my home. I could walk
to the bridge from here.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, there's nothing like like the first snow in Central
Park walking through. It's really magical. So what are your
plans for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Well, like yourself, I'm the second of oldest five and
we all meet at my house every holiday. Every Christmas Eve,
we sing Happy Birthday to my mom and to Jesus,
and at night we go to midnight Mass the churches
down the street. But you know what I love about
my hosting the holidays is and I was a single
(02:20):
mom and I've been divorced now twenty seven years. It
always it was a lot of work because after everybody left,
I'd have to get Christmas presents ready and everything. But
it always made it feel like a home. Yeah, being
together with family made it feel like a home. So
you're going to be with Sarah in.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
New York and her folks. They live on the Lower
East Side too, so we'll, okay, we'll still be with family.
I won't be with my family, but it's.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
A different family gathering.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
There's not like kids and crazy and yelling and stuff
all over the place.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Right, No, but that I have, we do have. I
have ten nieces and nephews, so when everyone gets together,
it is it's like the Moonvie home alone.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, well mine's like the ghetto version of home alone.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, And it's like it's crazy, but I love it.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I love that you mentioned midnight Mass. I love that's
my favorite go to.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Saint Patrick's Cathedral for midnight.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
You have to one of my favorite things about midnight Mass.
And I don't know if this is what your guys'
family does, but this is what my family likes to drink.
All right, We're a bunch of old winemakers.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Oh okay, real Italian.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah yeah, And so there's nothing that we love more
than going to midnight mass little buzz.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know, a lot of giggling in that pew.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yes, exactly. What are your plans for New Years?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
For New Year's uh is here right in this very room,
and my family comes over, and you know, well, I
make I hate New Year's Eve, by the way. I
hate change and I hate saying goodbye to the year.
I don't care how bad it is. I don't I
like it just the way it is. I like things
the way it is. So I've never been a fan
(04:12):
of New Year's haven't been out on New Year's in
many years. But the next day I'm leaving, I do
a fab over forty contest. It's women who join this competition,
and however much money they raise goes to breast cancer raises,
like last year like eight million dollars, a year before
like ten million.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So I go to the next day, I fly out
to go to Arizona to meet the winner of fab
over forty.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, that's so lovely it is.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Well, you're just the best, No wonder you won.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
In terms of karma, you deserve it more than anybody.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But you know there's the other side of me that's
not so nice. Well, so I got to make my
brother's like, I know you're just trying to get to heaven.
And then he's like, don't drink out of my glass either.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So are you asking for anything in particular for the holidays?
For Christmas?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
No, because Paul buys me really nice stuff, so I
don't want to negotiate zero, So I don't want to
ask for something like less than he's buying me.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, what about you?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
What are you get for Sarah? I mean, you can't say,
but I want to know.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, I don't know. I got her awaya cell bag
for her birthday, which was last month, so I feel
like I got to kind of one up that. But
that's going to be an expensive gift. But you know
what I really want for the holidays to tell me,
I want everyone to listen to our podcast as we
still season four.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Look at you trying to get to heaven now, good boy.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I'm just trying to get my money in my bank account.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Well, I think that you and I and Tama need
to do something about that. I think that we need
to do our TikTok and I think that we need
to make this happen.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
We do, yeah, and ask Sanah, Yeah, Sannah, this is
and baby Jesus, this is what we need.
Speaker 2 (06:01):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
