It's deeper in the den. I'm with dangerous Day. Check
this out. If you live to be eighty years old,
you'll have lived twenty nine two hundred and twenty days.
You probably spent two hundred and thirty thousand hours sleeping,
ninety thousand hours working, thirty two thousand hours eating and
drinking in about a thousand hours. Trying to untagle knots
now that almost everything in our lives can be tracked.
(00:22):
Somebody asked the Internet, what are the things you'd like
to see after your death? What stats this is interesting?
How many times I almost died without realizing it. How
many times I made somebody feel good about themselves without
knowing it. Number of people that were attracted to me
that I had no IDEA number of successful backflips I landed.
I would think you could track that. Top five songs
(00:42):
I listened to and how many times I listened to each.
How many times my body successfully destroyed a cancer cell
before they could take hold, total pounds pooped in the
biggest one. Number of times I made somebody laugh. Top
one hundred funniest things I've witnessed. Pictures where I'm visible
in other people's photos without knowing it, how many times
I use H letter of the alphabet, how many diapers
(01:03):
I changed, how many times I almost stepped in a turd?
And gambling results preferably broken down to a spreadsheet by year,
sport activity and betting type. And the last one as
how many cats I've petted? And that's not a euphemism.
You could add dogs in there too. I don't know
how many times every time I see a dog or
a cat feel like you need to pet them. Deeper
in the two, well, you know what, a restaurant botches
(01:24):
your delivery order. Most people complain on the app, but
there's probably that one idiot that'll call nine one one.
Stupidity like that just doesn't happen in America. Authorities in Saskatchewan, Canada,
just northwest of US here released the top ten reasons
not to call nine to one one, based on actual
incidents from last year. The list include a nine to
one to one dispatcher receiving a call from an individual
(01:46):
reporting their tambourine was taken from a party they were at.
A person called nine one one task for helping a
math equation because they didn't want to fail a test
the next morning. Dispatcher's got a call from somebody having
trouble with their washing machine, and another caller complained that
their cat was being mean to them, hoping an officer
could come over and help with the situation. A person
called to report somebody had thrown their ice cream on
(02:08):
the ground, and somebody called nine to one one to
help unlock their cell phone and how do they call
nine one one nine one one. Dispatcher's got a call
from somebody saying that a problem with bees in their home,
and a caller complained that a fox was roaming around
the neighborhood and scaring a local cat. A frustrated person
called to complain that their parents were forcing them to
clean their rooms. So okay, so probably some of these
(02:29):
calls came from kids. And number ten on the list
was somebody called because they were worried that they didn't
recognize somebody on their social media friend list, and that
would be a lot of calls to nine one one
for me too, me. They came for another episode of

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.
