Happy birthday from everybody here. From me, I don't know
if Trisha's gonna wish you a happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Of course I wish them a happy birthday. Okay, not
an animal?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
No, what's first thing made you laugh? Today?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
They should build a separate grocery store for people who
have actually purchased food before, who know how to push
a cart and possess.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
At least an ounce of spatial awareness.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Esthetic, I think they're the only person in the world
when they leave their grocery cart in the middle of
the aisle.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know, stop in the middle of the aisle.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, take a look around people.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
There are other people around you shopping.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What frustrates you more? At Tricia the grocery store. I mean,
Trisia's pretty irritable. But driving our grocery store, I think
it's driving. I think driving frustrates me more. Yeah, Tricia's
funny little thing that she says, come on, little friend,
Come on.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Little friend, let's go. If I'm letting you.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
In, the light is green, little friend.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
See, I start off coming from a place of niceness
and it very quickly dissolves into not niceness. But in
the grocery store, if you're one of those people who
stops in the middle of the aisle or blocks everything,
I will step up from behind my cart and go
move your cart over so I can get through.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Or I'll say, excuse me, you really turned me on.
Last night when we were driving home from we went
and grabbed a burger for dinner. Last night, We're going
through the parking lot of a big shopping center and
there was a car that was coming and did not
have the right of way and didn't even look and
just barreled through the intersection and Trista.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Laid along the horn on the hark.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I was so attractive.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Are you you love a lay on the horn?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh yeah, I'm a honker.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You're a lay on the horn half a second after
the light turned screen and they haven't gone.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Like, I'm a lay on the horn for that kind
of a violation.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I'm an escalated lay on the horn. You're an all
the time lay on the horn.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I have a little claw, a little timer that goes
off on me at red lights and if the car
in front of me doesn't move in time, it just
automatically at his honk Im like, let's go.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
When I'm with you and you do that, I'm all easy, dude,
God get me.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
People are set, people are staring at their phone.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Oh I know.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
It just drives me, insane, drives me.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Do you.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I just think that you deploy the lay on the
horn way more than it should be deployed. I think
you save that for extreme cases and you don't do that.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Maybe I'll make that my new Year's resolution, lay off
the honking a little bit and see if it does anything.
Coming up on the show today, we haven't done it
in a while, but I've got another entry into my
diary of perpetual disappointments. I know this is the time
of hope and cheer, but I have disappointments.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
All year long, all year long, and he writes them
down so he doesn't forget them.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And it was John Cena who made me realize this disappointment.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Oh. John Cena is normally such a nice, up positive guy.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
He was, but I heard an interview with him recently
and it made me realize that that's a perpetual disappointment
of mine.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You'll never be John Cena.

You're too expensive to even be listed.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Here is a junior suite for nine hundred and thirty
nine dollars that doesn't have the Tribute Suite listed in Deluxe.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Maybe it does.

A Perpetual Disappointment's Diary.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
It's done by the guy. His name is.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's Asberry and Asberry on Twitter if you want to
follow on. It's a real book, Like you go down
and you write things that just disappoint you, things that
haven't gone your way. Just a way to be reminded
of things of your reality.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Really is what it is supposed to be a joke,
and never in a millionaires that you'd actually fill it in.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Here are some of my past entries, and I'm gonna
give you my new entry, which was inspired by John
Cena in just a Moment entry. How I know I
am not one of God's little soldiers. People I know
I will never speak to again, grudges, I will all
keep things. I will never organize game shows, I'll never
host people, I used to dislike, but now I like.
(08:07):
I just won't even remember that I used to dislike them.
It's a long list, and just a couple more here.
Best guess when I die. And annoying conversations. I have overheard.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Texts I shouldn't have sent, games.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Games I'm not good at. Yeah, things like that. Now
I've got.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
My latest interview is inspired by John Cena, the wrestler
and actor. Yeah, and I heard him in an interview
recently and he was discussing how the when he was
a wrestler, the wwe offered all these all kinds of
things that they would offer you to do, and one
of them was a language course, and he spent ten
years studying Mandarin Chinese.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Ah geez.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So that made me realize a great entry into my
diary of perpetual disappointments is languages I will never learn. Yeah,
I've tried to learn Spanish. It's gotten better, but it
just doesn't click with me.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Click or you just didn't do it long enough.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I mean it's better, I mean it's much better than
when I started. But I'm not I'm certainly not fluent,
and I want to be. I guess I just don't
want to put in the work, yea to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I just got out of the dual lingo routine.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yes, I did too, I did. I used to do
it every day. Yeah, and then I just kind of
quit doing it. And then I get all kinds of
messages from him. Hey, we missed you over here.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Du a lingo? You know what I mean? Yeah, the
little bird shows up at owl. I think it's what is.
But yeah, so those are that's my latest entry.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And what's funny about John Cena is he studied the
language forever and then he was over in China promoting
one of his movies and he said something really offensive.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Oh no, yeah, and he didn't really know that he was.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh he didn't do it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Didn't do it on purpose, but he said something really
really offensive and spent a long time.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Like apologizing trying to fix it.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I think that John Cena has the record for the
most make a wish, yeah, for children, make a wishes granted? Yeah, children,
isn't that cool? Yeah, and you never really hear about them.
I love it that he just kind of does it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, they get out every once in a while, but
he does it on the down low.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I used to think it was on the lowdown. I
used to think the phrase was the lowdown. Now kids
say low key, Oh yeah, same thing, yeah right, yeah,
but I would.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Low key also means I don't really care like I
low key like him. Yeah, A little bit, yeah, a
little bit bit like him.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I low key like.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But I used to say, yeah, he would do it
on the lowdown. Isn't there Isn't there a phrase like
you low down? Dirty rash? Yeah, rotten scandal, Yeah, yeah,
there's some. I'm happy to have a new entry into
my diarrhea. Perpetual disupport languages you will never learn.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
All right, Sandy, let's start with my favorite holiday movie Elf.
Do you care or don't care to find out how
much one of Will Ferrell's Elf costumes sold for recently?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I love this kind of stuff that I planned to
watch Elf over the holiday season having never seen it,
So yes, I care?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yep it sold for three hundred and nineteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
What weirdo about that?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
It was one?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It was the actual costume he wore in the scene
where he gets on an elevator and pushes every single
elevator button the first time in New York City On
an elevator.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
That's pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Oh, it's such a good movie. You have to watch
it with me and Landry our daughter.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Okay, speaking of Landry, and I think all kids do
this when they get in an elevator.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
They want to push every single button. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Oh and when she was a little Landry, God help
you if you push the button and didn't let her
push it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yeah, oh, she would you right in the ship.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
She would lose it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Something about kids and pushing buttons, All right, Sandy, care
don't care to hear about a very funny Joe Jonas interaction,
I should say, a lurking interaction between Joe Jonas and
a fan who spotted in in New York City trying
to do something we all struggle with.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Of course I care.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
So a woman is sitting in a restaurant and notices
that there's a guy across the street from the restaurant
trying to parallel park. She then realizes it's Joe Jonas.
She sits there and watches Joe Jonas try and parallel
park for seven minutes before he finally got it. She
then edited the video put it up. It was viewed
more than eight and a half million times. And she said,
(13:33):
Joe Jonas trying to park for the last seven minutes,
and he saw it and responded, and I saw you
watch me and not help.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Once I got to give it to Joe Jonas, for
I would have never spent I go find someplace else so.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I can get into it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I feel like once you find a spot in New
York City, you got to commit to it. It's probably
few and far between. Oh, but seven minutes? Is there
anything worse? There's been plenty of memes that are like,
if you see someone parallel parking, turn around, walk there way,
give them their privacy.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It's embarrassing enough as it is.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I am a terrible parallel parker because I, Ah, my
car didn't have a backup camera.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I haven't even when you had a car that had
a backup camera. You are a terrible parallel But.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now they've got the lines and they get some cars
you can just push the button in a parallel.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, that one of those cars.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah. I kind of like the challenge of parallel parking.
I feel very adult when I successfully parallel park.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
You're pretty good at it, too, pretty good at it all?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Right, Sandy, Finally, do you care or don't care to
find out what the most popular Christmas movie in America is?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
The most popular Christmas I thought we just covered this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, according to pixel Parade, it's this one. Now, what
do we cover yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The Mirror, the the one that we watched a couple
of years ago. Yeah, number one on the list now,
according to IMDb.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
According to IMDb, this is according to another website called
pixel Parade, They surveyed thousands of adults across the United
States and came up with this one movie.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
No, what's first thing made you laugh? Today?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
They should build a separate grocery store for people who
have actually purchased food before, who know how to push
a cart and possess.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
At least an ounce of spatial awareness.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Esthetic, I think they're the only person in the world
when they leave their grocery cart in the middle of
the aisle.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know, stop in the middle of the aisle.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, take a look around people.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
There are other people around you shopping.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What frustrates you more? At Tricia the grocery store. I mean,
Trisia's pretty irritable. But driving our grocery store, I think
it's driving. I think driving frustrates me more. Yeah, Tricia's
funny little thing that she says, come on, little friend,
Come on.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Little friend, let's go. If I'm letting you.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
In, the light is green, little friend.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
See, I start off coming from a place of niceness
and it very quickly dissolves into not niceness. But in
the grocery store, if you're one of those people who
stops in the middle of the aisle or blocks everything,
I will step up from behind my cart and go
move your cart over so I can get through.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Or I'll say, excuse me, you really turned me on.
Last night when we were driving home from we went
and grabbed a burger for dinner. Last night, We're going
through the parking lot of a big shopping center and
there was a car that was coming and did not
have the right of way and didn't even look and
just barreled through the intersection and Trista.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Laid along the horn on the hark.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I was so attractive.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Are you you love a lay on the horn?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh yeah, I'm a honker.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You're a lay on the horn half a second after
the light turned screen and they haven't gone.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Like, I'm a lay on the horn for that kind
of a violation.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I'm an escalated lay on the horn. You're an all
the time lay on the horn.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I have a little claw, a little timer that goes
off on me at red lights and if the car
in front of me doesn't move in time, it just
automatically at his honk Im like, let's go.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
When I'm with you and you do that, I'm all easy, dude,
God get me.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
People are set, people are staring at their phone.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Oh I know.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
It just drives me, insane, drives me.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Do you.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I just think that you deploy the lay on the
horn way more than it should be deployed. I think
you save that for extreme cases and you don't do that.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Maybe I'll make that my new Year's resolution, lay off
the honking a little bit and see if it does anything.
Coming up on the show today, we haven't done it

Oh. John Cena is normally such a nice, up positive guy.

It's Asberry and Asberry on Twitter if you want to
follow on. It's a real book, Like you go down
and you write things that just disappoint you, things that
haven't gone your way. Just a way to be reminded
of things of your reality.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Really is what it is supposed to be a joke,
and never in a millionaires that you'd actually fill it in.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Here are some of my past entries, and I'm gonna
give you my new entry, which was inspired by John
Cena in just a Moment entry. How I know I
am not one of God's little soldiers. People I know
I will never speak to again, grudges, I will all
keep things. I will never organize game shows, I'll never
host people, I used to dislike, but now I like.
(08:07):
I just won't even remember that I used to dislike them.
It's a long list, and just a couple more here.
Best guess when I die. And annoying conversations. I have overheard.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Texts I shouldn't have sent, games.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Games I'm not good at. Yeah, things like that. Now
I've got.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
My latest interview is inspired by John Cena, the wrestler
and actor. Yeah, and I heard him in an interview
recently and he was discussing how the when he was
a wrestler, the wwe offered all these all kinds of
things that they would offer you to do, and one
of them was a language course, and he spent ten
years studying Mandarin Chinese.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Ah geez.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So that made me realize a great entry into my
diary of perpetual disappointments is languages I will never learn. Yeah,
I've tried to learn Spanish. It's gotten better, but it
just doesn't click with me.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Click or you just didn't do it long enough.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I mean it's better, I mean it's much better than
when I started. But I'm not I'm certainly not fluent,
and I want to be. I guess I just don't
want to put in the work, yea to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I just got out of the dual lingo routine.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yes, I did too, I did. I used to do
it every day. Yeah, and then I just kind of
quit doing it. And then I get all kinds of
messages from him. Hey, we missed you over here.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Du a lingo? You know what I mean? Yeah, the
little bird shows up at owl. I think it's what is.
But yeah, so those are that's my latest entry.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And what's funny about John Cena is he studied the
language forever and then he was over in China promoting
one of his movies and he said something really offensive.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Oh no, yeah, and he didn't really know that he was.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh he didn't do it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Didn't do it on purpose, but he said something really
really offensive and spent a long time.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Like apologizing trying to fix it.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I think that John Cena has the record for the
most make a wish, yeah, for children, make a wishes granted? Yeah, children,
isn't that cool? Yeah, and you never really hear about them.
I love it that he just kind of does it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, they get out every once in a while, but
he does it on the down low.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I used to think it was on the lowdown. I
used to think the phrase was the lowdown. Now kids
say low key, Oh yeah, same thing, yeah right, yeah,
but I would.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Low key also means I don't really care like I
low key like him. Yeah, A little bit, yeah, a
little bit bit like him.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I low key like.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But I used to say, yeah, he would do it
on the lowdown. Isn't there Isn't there a phrase like
you low down? Dirty rash? Yeah, rotten scandal, Yeah, yeah,
there's some. I'm happy to have a new entry into
my diarrhea. Perpetual disupport languages you will never learn.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
All right, Sandy, let's start with my favorite holiday movie Elf.
Do you care or don't care to find out how
much one of Will Ferrell's Elf costumes sold for recently?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I love this kind of stuff that I planned to
watch Elf over the holiday season having never seen it,
So yes, I care?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yep it sold for three hundred and nineteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
What weirdo about that?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
It was one?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It was the actual costume he wore in the scene
where he gets on an elevator and pushes every single
elevator button the first time in New York City On
an elevator.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
That's pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Oh, it's such a good movie. You have to watch
it with me and Landry our daughter.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Okay, speaking of Landry, and I think all kids do
this when they get in an elevator.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
They want to push every single button. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Oh and when she was a little Landry, God help
you if you push the button and didn't let her
push it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yeah, oh, she would you right in the ship.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
She would lose it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Something about kids and pushing buttons, All right, Sandy, care
don't care to hear about a very funny Joe Jonas interaction,
I should say, a lurking interaction between Joe Jonas and
a fan who spotted in in New York City trying
to do something we all struggle with.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Of course I care.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
So a woman is sitting in a restaurant and notices
that there's a guy across the street from the restaurant
trying to parallel park. She then realizes it's Joe Jonas.
She sits there and watches Joe Jonas try and parallel
park for seven minutes before he finally got it. She
then edited the video put it up. It was viewed
more than eight and a half million times. And she said,
(13:33):
Joe Jonas trying to park for the last seven minutes,
and he saw it and responded, and I saw you
watch me and not help.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Once I got to give it to Joe Jonas, for
I would have never spent I go find someplace else so.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I can get into it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I feel like once you find a spot in New
York City, you got to commit to it. It's probably
few and far between. Oh, but seven minutes? Is there
anything worse? There's been plenty of memes that are like,
if you see someone parallel parking, turn around, walk there way,
give them their privacy.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It's embarrassing enough as it is.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I am a terrible parallel parker because I, Ah, my
car didn't have a backup camera.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I haven't even when you had a car that had
a backup camera. You are a terrible parallel But.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now they've got the lines and they get some cars
you can just push the button in a parallel.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, that one of those cars.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah. I kind of like the challenge of parallel parking.
I feel very adult when I successfully parallel park.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
You're pretty good at it, too, pretty good at it all?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Right, Sandy, Finally, do you care or don't care to
find out what the most popular Christmas movie in America is?

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.
