I've been a stand up comedian, and I've been a
commentator on mister Henry's show on a variety of topics
on the news of the day. Now I'm going to
take it out into a whole new area. We're gonna
be counting down and tracking some of the big crime.

I've been a commentator on The Mister Henry Show, and
now I want to try something else. This is Steve
Bozel and the Story Behind. We're going to take a
look at true crime stories, how they began and how
they wound up, and who was the perpetrator Steve Bozel

(04:41):
goes behind. Later on Steve Bozel takes a good long
look at New York City and the way that New
York City was built. Was it built to intimidate? Was
it built to make people feel small and to scare them?
We'll find out about that today on Steve Bozel and
the Story Behind. Steve O's ALVM The Story Behind on

(05:01):
the world famous Phil Henry Show, brought to you by
the Phil Henry Show Website. Get a backstage past today
and get it today The story is of Gleason Abercrombie.
Gleason Abercrombie was a man who wore a Derby hat
and a tweed suit. He lived in downtown tap of
Florida and would walk his way to work every day

(05:24):
along the avenue and went to his insurance office there on.
And this is going to be a made up name,
because frankly, we want to protect the innocent. He had
an insurance office on Gladiola Boulevard, and this man would
go in every day and do his insurance business. One day,
people came in to exact the business and transact business

(05:46):
from him, and he was gone missing. Where did he go?
They don't know. Mister Evansville, that wasn't his name. What
that was not his I'm sorry, but that wasn't his name.
I know it's a place center name. I forget. You
forget the name? Yeah, I forget. Go ahead. Uh mister
Boneman Gladiola, Oh that's it, Gladiola's name. No, that was

(06:06):
the street Bowman. How about ban Bowman? Uh? Listerman, Boneman, Listerman. Well,
what name do you want? Okay, it's fine. Boneman Listerman
went into his insurance office one day and was doing
his insurance people came in the afternoon to transact business,
to buy insurance policies and to see the status of

(06:27):
their business, and he was missing. The Tampa police set
about trying to find out where mister Boweman was. What
that's his first name, Bud? What did I tell you?
The Tampa Bay Police went about trying to find out
what happened to Boneman. That's his name, Okay, fine? They
could not find Boweman. Where was he? It turned out

(06:49):
they saw legs sticking up in the bay and had
on the foot a courtvan what was known in those
days as a courtervan pork pie shoe. Now, the pork
pie shoe had a turned up toe, just a hint
of a heel, and had a big fat, sort of
wide width to it, one leg sticking up with slacks

(07:10):
on it, and the pork pie shoe. Well, you're screwing up.
You want us to clean this up with the post, right,
that's what you said, mister Eddie. Okay, His leg was
sticking up and the pork pile shoe was evident. The
Tampa Bay Police pulled the leg and what was attached
to the body out of Tampa Bay and found that
the body was wearing both pork Pie shoes, and it

(07:31):
turned out that mister Boneman wore pork Pie shoes. This
is Steve Bozel and the story behind what happened to
mister Boneman. Now I know that the Thames changed. Yeah,
he got it correct post okay, episode two? Stand by.

(07:52):
This is Steve Bozel and the story behind Today on
Steve Bozel and the story behind the story about Missus
Mary Murgatry of Los Angeles, California, Missus Mary Murgatry who
wound up kidnapped in Mongolia. It's a crazy story, but

(08:12):
missus Mary Murgatroyd was in Los Angeles, California. What is
that her name? It's a placeholder? Oh, I'm sorry? Fuck, Hey,
what's the fuck? Okay? All right? One day she was
doing her laundry and the next day she was sitting
in a tent in Mongolia. How did that happen? Mary
Murgatroyd was normal woman, an average lady. She wasn't very

(08:34):
remarkable in too many different ways. She just wanted a doer, laundry,
go inside and watch TV. The next thing she knew,
she was spirited away on a seven forty seven jet
from Los Angeles International Airport to Mongolia, where she was
set up in a tent, had a headdress, and became
wedded to a Mongolian desert prince. And for a year

(08:54):
she not only was a desert princess, she started to
get used to it, kind of liked it, and started
to rule over these people with kind of a you know,
a tough hand. And when the prince died, she inherited
the kingdom and she began just pushing people around, telling
people what to do, taking their cattle, taking everything. She
went from being a mousey little housewife in Long Beach, California,
taking out the you know, taking out the garbage and

(09:16):
hanging up her laundry and watching TV to this just
hellacious despot of the Mongolian desert God Damn Stave Bozel's

(10:22):
Welcome back, everybody to Steve Bozell and the story behind
Mister Henry. Has been spending time this past week or
so in New York City, and I have been back
there for a variety of reasons, mostly to be on
mister Henry's podcast, The Phil Henry The World of Phil Henry.
And this is going to be kind of unusual, and
yet I think it is something to point out because

(10:45):
I notice it right away, and if I notice it
right away, I know there's somebody else out there that
notices it as well and feels a need to comment
on it. You go to New York City and I
don't think you'll ever see bigger buildings and more gigantic,
you know, structures than you'll ever see in your life

(11:06):
that you see in New York City. I remember mister
Henry had gone to Dubai, which is in the Middle East,
and he come back with all these photographs and and
he had these home movies and he said, look at
these buildings, mister Bozell, take a look. And I'm like, yeah,
they're big, and they're weird looking. The buildings in Dubai
are just weird. I wouldn't say they're intimidating so much
as this weird looking. They're shaped weird. I don't know,

(11:28):
they're just weird. But New York City has buildings that
are so huge and so squeezed tightly together, and also
squeezed tightly together with a lot of people that are
sort of squeezed into. So what you have is you
have the buildings, they're squeezed, and then you squeeze in
the people too, and everything squeezes. I don't know, it's

(11:49):
just it's it's kind of and we're gonna edit all
this stuff, Okay, yeah, uh, it's you just it's all squeezed.
And I the thing that came to my mind with
squeeze jeez, I thought, well, it's got nothing to do
with it. Squeeze cheese, because you can't squeeze it. The
people come out like they're like they're ooh, you know,
that's kind of But what I'm saying is everything in

(12:09):
New York City is squeezed in. Now, when you're squeezed
in and you're walking along the street with other people
who are also squeezed in, and you're just squeezed, man, Okase,
you're you're walking along and you're you're squeezed you know,
these people are yeah, on one side or the other.
And then you look up and you see these buildings

(12:31):
that are gigantic, and you get kind of resentful of
the fact that they were built for the specific and
it's split specific reason of making you feel like you're
just some like you're just some chimpanzee going in a zoo. Okay.
In other words, when I walk through the city of
New York and I look at those buildings, I'm gonna

(12:54):
be honest with you, I get scared, Okay, because they're gigantic.
They seemed to you're getting bigger all the time. I
know that's impossible, but just every time I walk out there,
I look at one particular building and I swear to
God had got bigger overnight. And looks almost like it
got another floor or two added to it. So the
giganticness of it and an intimidation factor that results from that,

(13:18):
I believe is premeditated and is designed to make a
guy like me who has a good self image and
I feel strong about myself, you know, I do. And
when a guy like me comes into town, When a
guy like me comes into New York and it sees me,

(13:39):
it's just it's like the buildings go look at me.
It's almost as if the buildings were alive. It's almost
as if the buildings have minds of their own. And
they see all these monkeys squeezed in and they're just
lording it over them, and they're puffing out their chests
and they're thinking they're cool. And along comes Steve Bozel,
and I you know, I'm like figuratively giving them the finger.
I'm figured looking at these gigantic buildings and going yay,

(14:02):
right there, you know, middle finger. And that's when they
look at me and they go, you know, they they
sort of in my They psychologically send a message to me, Yeah,
we're gigantic. Look at his Bozel, Look at how big
we are. And I mean, I'm not saying anything. Have

(14:23):
you ever seen a porn movie where the guy has
a penis that's big, like, way bigger than your You
could ever hope to have one, you know. I mean,
my penis is fine. My wife and I have had
two children, and she seems to enjoy it. But I
see some of the penises on these guys in porn
movies and I think they never gonna be that way
away from me. I'll never never, never have one, let

(14:43):
like that. See, And I think that's what the buildings
in New York try to say to you. They say, oh,
you think you're something big? Watch this? Yeah, and by
going you're They're not saying that, but that's the sense
that I get. And they're saying to me, Steve Bozel,
You're never gonna be any thing like me. I'm gigantic, man,
I'm hundreds of floors high. Huh, I got all man.

(15:06):
Check it out, dude. I have conquered space and time.
I'm big, tall, badass. I look good. People look at
me and go. I mean the women, human women will
look at a building they'll want to have. I hate
to say this, but those buildings look so good. I'm
sure there's human women out there, they'll say, oh, yeah, man,
I will you know, go to bed with it. Yeah,

(15:30):
I think they the women, they would go to bed
with a building. I mean, there's not a bed big enough.
I mean, you know what I'm saying. That's what I
think about those buildings in New York City. That's where
we are right now. And so when I go out
into New York City on any given day, while I
do enjoy the people in the city and the culture,
I'm mindful of the fact that those buildings are up

(15:50):
there and they're just kind of they're leaning into me.
They go Steve Bozel's hitting the street all right, all
the buildings all over one two three year and they
into me, and I look at him and I go,
fuck it, man, excuse my language. I'm sorry. That's just
kind of how I feel about it. You know. Now,
I don't want you to infer from the program today

(16:10):
that I watch porn and the only thing I look
at as a guy's penis. I'm just saying that some
porn that guy has the biggest one that you've ever
seen in your life. And I'll never I know, I'm
not never ever never have one that big. And yeah,
it kind of makes me, said Steve Bozel's The Story

from Steve Ozel. Thank you very much. This is Steve
Bozel and the Story behind here on the world famous
Phil Henry Show, and been with a great pleasure being

(17:17):
with you. Our final point that we want to make
today in the final area of culture that we want
to address. Let's see, we've talked about gigantic buildings being
intimidating and lots of things that we've talked about on
the show today, and I want to talk about now
what I think is very important and these are these
apps that you put on your phone that you then

(17:38):
also input data from your car, and your insurance company
knows everything about the way you drive. And these apps
are not only giving you information about how you drive,
but they're also kind of clocking the kind of person
you are if you break too much, if you're speeding,
and they're taking a look at how much you're paying

(18:00):
for insurance, and what's the likelihood you're going to get
into an accident. And then you take a book, you
take a boogie, not a boogie, they take you take
a look at you know, how fast? And I mean
it just and my wife April said to me, Steve Bozel,
I think it's time for you to get the app
for your car. And I have a five speed Camaro.
It's one of my kind of just the love of

(18:22):
my life. And Chevrolet has the new app and it
lets the people at Chevrolet and it also lets the
people at my insurance company know how fast I'm going,
how many times I break, what kind of brake pressure
I'm applying. And all of a sudden, I got the
insurance company taking a look way up there. You know,

(18:42):
it's like they're getting down. They're saying, just stay still,
Steve Bozell, let us get down on the ground here
and take a scope and stick it right up there. Now,
I've got a doctor for that, and I'm not trying
to be funny, but i can't think of any other
way to describe it. When the insurance company knows how
I'm driving, when I'm driving, how fast I'm going, how
I'm breaking, you might as well take it, got tube,

(19:03):
stick it up there and look up and go okay, yeah,
take a look up there. Shit. This is Steve Bozel
and the story behind where we give you an insight
into life and even death on a planet Earth and
well beyond. Steve Bozell, the story behind now Here Again,

(19:25):
Steve Bozel, thank you very much. So today we've been
talking about We've been talking about crime. We've been talking
about buildings being intimidating. We've been talking about these apps
that track you for your insurance companies. And what are
we really talking about. We're talking about big brother or
big sister, a little sister, or whoever you want to say,

(19:50):
just breathing down your neck, breathing on you every time
you turn around. It's almost as if the government has
turned into a fat man who's standing behind you in
a buffet line. And you are just intent on getting
your lunch, but you're aware of him behind you because
he's you know, you ever had somebody breathing on your neck,
He's breathing on you. He's got, you know, some kind

(20:14):
of funky smell on his breath. And all you can
do is say, yeah, give me the pudding. Please give me.
You know, I'll never forget. I was in a buffet line.
It was a cafeteria line here a while back. We
were at another office and there was a big, big
fat I wouldn't say he's fab just this big dude
standing behind me as I was going on the buffet
line and I could just I could hear him and

(20:34):
smell him. He just says ha ha, you know. And
so I said to the lady, a yet, give me
And I didn't get what I wanted because I had
to go through it fast. I said, yeah, I'll take
the pudding and let me have some of the cheesecake.
I'd like I got like five desserts. I only got
one protein. Yeah, take the cheesecake, let me have the pudding,
give me one of those, give me a small hot dog.

(20:55):
I got like I think I got like a one
of those cocktail. Wiener's give me a cocktail, Wiener, then
I'll have a chocolate bar. And I came to my table.
I had a candy bar. I had cream, you know,
a cheesecake. I had apple pie turnover. I had one cocktail. Frank,
let's no way to live. A man could die, a
man could die from malnutrition because you got a fat

(21:18):
man breathing on you in the in the buffet line,
in the cafeteria line. So what do you do about that? Well,
the best thing that you can do, in my opinion,
is to turn around and tell them you mind just
backing it back maybe two steps, okay, because I'm not
only I don't only smell you and feel you. I
can hear you. So it's like three senses. You can

(21:39):
smell it, oh geez, then you can hear it. Then
you can feel it, blast it on your neck. And
meanwhile you're buying cheesecake, you're getting pie ala mode, you're
getting the chocolate bar, you're getting fuck it And now
more from Steve Bouzou. All right, welcome back here to

(22:02):
Steve Bozel's the story behind and we want to give
you an update. And I give you this update to
show you just can't what can happen? I don't know.
You all remember, and I'm still working this out. I'm
still coming to terms with it. You all remember when
you may remember when I was forced to sue my

(22:22):
daughter and her dog, Elston. When the dog urinated on
me and the dog Elston Elston now is a big
grown up dog. The dog pete on me and then
it barked and yapped and pranced about. In that time,
I consulted the Laura's Blasm Game, who was my attorney
of law in Riverside, California, and I said, at that
time and in that place, I got a dog that

(22:45):
when ahead and tinkled and tingled. I used it because
I was embarrassed that it was with mixed company, and
stead a tinkle on me down this pant leg here
on this arm in the sleeve. And then after it did,
it looked at me and went, you know, it barked
and pranced about. Blazing Gang said, I believe you have
a case. He said, we can file a restraining order
on the dog and the daughter. I said, well, she's

(23:06):
my daughter. She goes, yeah, but do you want the
daughter to be dancing around with a dog and going
ha ha and pointing at you, and I said no.
So a limited restraining order was granted, and it didn't
do Diddley squad. I mean, I still take my daughter
to school and I was interacting with her and the
dog was still barking at me. So I kind of
at night I would look at the restraining order and

(23:26):
just wonder, what the hell I did, you know, and
what do I get out of this? Excuse me, I
don't mean to cry. Pardon me if I take a moment.
So now the dog is fully grown up, and the
dog is now it's a retriever. And when I look
out at that dog as it plays around in the
back in the back, you know, backyard, and my daughter
teaches the tricks and tosses balls to it, I wonder

(23:48):
just what happened? You know? How did I lose control?
Whereby the dog pete on me? And I kept that
pair of pants and every now and I get down,
then I get it out and I look at it.
I look at the peace stains. I go, what did
I get out of this? You know, probably nothing at all.
My wife said to grow up. I said, thanks a
lot for that, April, and she said, grow up. You know,

(24:09):
Elston's a good dog, so I didn't say it was
a bad dog. I just said I needed judicial relief
and she made this is my wife. I said I
needed relief and she made like a blowjob and she
just went like this like that and she goes, you
mean that kind of relief? I go, you know what?
F this whole scene and I went to the bathroom. Well,

(24:30):
I want to thank you all for joining me on
my first ever is Steve Bozel A Story Behind. I
hope you like it. It's kind of a new kind
of breakout thing for me. I'm going from the usual
stand up comedy that I've done and the commentary on
the Mister Henry Show. Now I'm kind of embracing true
crime and also everyday problems and kind of rolling it
