Welcome to a little bit of pod.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I want I want to saw a movie that at
the end of it, I was like, I wonder how
that got made? Oh, because I didn't hate it, but
I was just like either it was tough times.

Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
The Toxic Avenger starring Peter Dnkline as the aforementioned Toxic Avenger. Now, okay, guest,
like you was at a super power to the sequel
is going to be the Toxic Avenger. The Red Flags
were crazy to people like, no, I did it. You're mad,
that's why you've imagined that you need to calm down.

(00:40):
You need to calm down. Very toxic.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
So it's actually a really funny superhero who's whose superpower
is just red flags.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
The gas lighter, the gas gas light, and that they
have the ability to make you question yourself.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, I did not kill that village, the entire village.
That's absurd.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Why would I do that? Put that in your head?
Why would I do that? Why what do they do
to me? Does sound like a stupid movie you'd go to.
So The Toxic Avenger and Kevin Bacon was in it
as well, Love Peter, I know, and it was like
funny and but it was like a big, great horror
movie and like I remember watching the original movies as
a kid and watching the cartoons and stuff, so it
was like a bit of a nostalgic bus And then

(01:21):
afterwards when it got went with a friend to get
somebody to eat and walked into a place and the
minute we walked in, the woman or the waitress looked
at us like fuck sake, Like god damn it.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I think.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
They must have a rule when it gets to a
certain number of people in the restaurant that can start
shutting down put ch up. Because it was like a
Tuesday night and so yeah, and she was like oh
like that. She greet us and she's like, do you
want to see a menu? Like hoping we're gonna be
like no, I was like, yeah, we could go a
snack and we're just gonna get snack and some and
a drink each. And she was like okay, got the

(01:58):
menu was like this page not happening, this page not happening.
She's like this page also not happening. Apart from that,
that that and that what was it chips and olives.
It was chips, chips and curry sauce, and I know, killer,
what great not you need to be doing that more
that like coulieflower that's pretending to be fried chicken yum,

(02:20):
and a couple of other bits and anything they could
put in the deep prive. The only thing still going.
The kitchen has been cleaned. You could hear it. And
I was like, oh, okay, and so we'll get a drink.
And she's like, I can't get your food, and I
was like, can we get the chips with the curry
sauce and the cauliflower moonlighting as chicken, which fools me
every time I pick it up. I'm like, I'm gonna

(02:41):
get rid of hit some chicken. They bite into it.
It's cauliflower, and I'm always disappointed. That's a young way
to cauliflower, but it's disappointing. It's not so. And then
she comes back and she's like, we can't do the
curry sauce.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Not chuck it in the microwave.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
She just can't be fun, cannot be for the fucked like,
And then it comes back and it's just like, I'm
just gonna let you know the kitchen's closing in like
fifteen minutes.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I was like, that's okay, Like we're not going to
get anything else from the kitchen, just.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
The Chi'm not gonna get another round of gipsy colline.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I'm going to keep going very limited thing. And then
she comes over and she's like, I just wanted to
let you know that where like the bars kind of
like if you want anything else to drink. I was like,
that's time. We're only here for one drink. That's all good.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Really, what did you gone?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
And then the other big group that was there left?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
So there's us and I'm two other people at another
table and we're sitting there and we're like like having
a drink, having a chat. And she comes over and
she's like, Hi, guys, oh my god, snacking, but we
weren't concentrating on the eating. And she came over with
that parental energy of you need to hurry out and
finish your dinner because I want to do the dishes
and it's starting to go to bed. Oh my god.

(03:54):
She just did not want us there.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's a bit of a New Zealand thing a because
you go overseason like places don't start kicking off until
like ten or eleven.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Restaurants everyone's going out at like nine or yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
And they'll just let you stay there eat slowly. My
mum hates about New Zealand. She's like, oh, they're rushing
us out the door. In Italy, you know, the table's
yours until you're bloody done with her and you just say,
they're all afternoon and then Jesus we have been in
the sun for but should get some food.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, but are they smaller places? Yeah, a few people
to kind of like fill up the seats, and yeah,
there's an obligation that if you're there you're going to
be drinking or eating or what.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
But then, okay, so did you let it rush you see,
I would be they were people pleasing thoroughly enjoying how
much she was hating her job, and we agreed it
would be the same energy.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
We'd be giving something at eight o'clock on a cheese
and you just want.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
To can I give you anything else?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Or are we done?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Said guys, I'll just let you know. We're like thinking
of closing up in about fifteen. I'm like, that's cool.
I don't think we're going to be fifteen more minutes.
But while I've got your whereabouts is your bathroom? And
you just story and look at me like, fuck you dude,
I've just just cleaned. And she's like still there. I thanks.
I went to the bathroom and yeah, it had been

(05:10):
like freshly cleaned. You're just on the floor. It's very
I was very respectful. And then came out and she
was kind of like sitting at the other part of
the bar and she put her hit around the corner
just to be.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Like, oh, we got I love that.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
How far away now?

Speaker 2 (05:25):

kind of customer because a lot of the small restaurants
I used to work at, they would be like, all right,

was still customers at ten thirty, you were not paid,
like our job was.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
To get That's not fear to me. I just walk
out at ten and say you're not paying me, Like
I'm not, I'm doing here, No.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
But I was like fifty, you know, like you that's
what you're told, and so that's why you would kind
of like show me them. But you're like, I have
to close this up. I'm not being paid.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I just tell them we're only open until ten and
then you have to be gone.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Sorry, guys, that's it.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
But when there is more of a flexible ending like
a pub, sometimes when you when they can't be bothered,
I'm like, man, look at this group. We'll spend hundreds.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah. Well, hi guys, we used to whip out the vacuum.

Speaker 3 (06:29):

me to the front. I said, well, I guess. I
guess I will pay on the way out. So I'm

went to pay, and I looked at the thing. It

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.
