Very well? Good morning, Thanks for being on the show.
It's waiting by the phone. Tell us about this guy, Matthew.
How you guys met and where you stand right now?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Okay, So we met through some mutual friends, and you know,
it's like a typical setup, and then we were texting
and talking before to make sure that, you know, we
liked each other and everything, and it was going really well.
And so he came by and picked me up and

(00:36):
we went out to dinner and then a movie and
then drinks after and then we only planned like the
first two. So I felt like it was going really
really well that we went to drinks afterwards.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh I see, like the dinner in the movie were
on the table before. But then the fact that you
extended the date, that's a good sign.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh yeah, I was. I was pretty excited about it.
And he didn't reach out to me at all after
the date, and I was kind of confused about that
because we went from like ten to twenty texts a
day to nothing, okay, And I don't really understand what
happened because I thought it was going so well.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Okay, so that's where we come in. We'll reach out
to Matthew and we'll ask some questions and you'll be
on the phone. I don't want you to jump in
right at first, but at some point definitely coming on
the call and hopefully we can figure out what's going
on and fix it, or maybe he has an explanation
and get you guys going on another date and we'll
pay for that.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Okay, great sounds good.

Let's you call Matthew. You met there with some friends,

(02:00):
you were set up, you had a great date, and
you went from that day to communicating a whole bunch
to nothing like cold turkey. This guy is not responding

We're calling on behalf of a woman named Alison who
reached out to us and said that you guys were
set up and you had a great date and you
went from talking a whole bunch to nothing. So she
kind of wanted to know what's going on while you're ghosting,
and so we're calling to ask.

went on a date. It was nice. You know, it
went better than I thought. You know, it started off

(03:21):
better than I thought. You know, it was just supposed
to be. You know, we're gonna go out, We're gonna
have some dinner, you know, and then a movie. And
then after the movie he said, let's go get some drinks.
And I, you know, it sounded it wasn't part of
the plan. It was all going really well. And on
the way to get drinks, she said, let's go to Target.
I got to go to Target, and which is a
weird thing to do before drinks in the middle of

(03:43):
a date. And then she asked me to pull up
and she tells me exactly where to park, which is
not anywhere near the front of the store. And I'm sorry.
I pull up and she's like, park next to that car.
And I parked next to this car and then I
look over there's somebody in the cars window roll down
and I rolled my window down. And then a drug
deal happens like through me. No, like, like seriously, I

(04:09):
became an accessory to a felony on this date.

the problem is. I thank you for talking about this
on the radio.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
A drug deal. You didn't make me do drugs. You
made me do the right It would have been one
thing if you'd like gone into the target and met
him in the bathroom, came out and then you know,
I don't know anything's going on. I'm completely innocent. I
have absolutely no idea. You gave me money, I handed
him money. I handed you cocaine. I became a drugs
in that situation. I can't beat. That's not my life.

The Burden

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.
