This is what I like to call thatpart of the podcast, that

Uh, we decided to keep it, butwe just put it off in its own
little episode.
So if you do like it, you areweirdo.

bit better.
And if you just wanna hear tabooscience and facts and learning,

So just don't listen to this.
Go check out one of our recentfun sultry topics.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (01:16):
is us trying to be charming.
Let's be honest.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (01:20):
Have I charmed you yet?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (01:23):
Are you not entertained?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (01:25):
not charmed?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (01:28):
Well, I've got big news, uh, for
impolite society and.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (01:33):
And I really hope we're charming for
this bit.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (01:37):
Because in Flight Society we have
recently started a buy me acoffee page and if you're not
familiar, buy me a coffee isjust basically a, a way for you
to send the show a few dollarsif you feel so inclined.
We've never done this before.
We've been on and off on thispodcast for five years and we've
(02:00):
never.
Taken this plunge, but
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (02:05):
after five years of content, we're
swinging that tablet around andwe're,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (02:10):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (02:11):
would you
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (02:11):
tip.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (02:12):
tip?
That's exactly what's happening.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (02:16):
Yep.
Yep.
Uh, but you know, we, we've beengetting more engagement lately
and some people asked if, youknow, there was any way that
they can contribute or supportthe show.
And so, and we've been kickingit.
We had been kicking it around,right.
But we thought, okay, well wedidn't really have a plan, but
this per, you know, some peoplehave asked, so let's just go
(02:37):
ahead, let's just take theplunge.
Um,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (02:41):
out there.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (02:42):
yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (02:43):
we didn't really wanna do, I, we
know money's tight for everybodyright now, so I didn't wanna do,
like, you know, we didn't wannado a Patreon with like
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (02:49):
monthly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even like a dollar a month.
I'm like, hmm, fucking dollar amonth.
Subscriptions.
I don't like subscriptions.
So yeah, putting this out thereas just, you know, if you feel
like you wanna contribute to thecontent that we've been doing
for the last couple years,please feel free.
Um, it's linked in the shownotes, um, and.
(03:12):
You know, I'll just give alittle plug, right?
This is my, this is my salespitch.
Obviously, you know, there's thepodcast, if you like the
podcast.
That's why you're listeningright now, but the, the pitch, I
guess for, you know, giving,throwing us a few dollars, we
are a completely independentpodcast.
No, no network backing here, noiHeartRadio, you know, Spotify,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (03:36):
we
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (03:36):
Wondery, wondering, all that kind of
stuff, you know, they, they getpaid a lot of money.
We, this is completely anindependent hobby of ours.
We pay for everything.
Yeah, there you go.
Labor of love.
We pay for everything out ofpocket, so anything that you can
throw our way helps cover thecost of creating it.
Um, and you know, if you areinto this kinda independent
(04:03):
podcasting, keeps things alittle weird, a little bold, um,
that's a great way to show ussome love.
Um, if you feel compelled to doso.
That's my sales pitch.
This is probably not a strongsales pitch.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (04:18):
It's good enough for me.
I'm gonna go donate right now.
Um,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (04:21):
Donate to
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (04:22):
you, there's like a little, I know,
I'll pay 4% to donate to myself.
Um, actually like a littlemessage box in there where you
can leave a message.
If you put a topic or a questionin there, we will bump that
right to the top of the list.
I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (04:38):
Fast track it.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (04:40):
I'd say within two weeks we'll
probably turn that shit aroundif you go.
You support the show.
So that is our, our plug there.
We were trying to give back toyou guys as much as you guys
would be giving to us.
And one of the ways that we'regonna try to give back, this is
like the most conceited thing Istarted saying it is that we're
gonna tell you more aboutourselves.
(05:00):
God, you
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (05:02):
because I know you're just dying to
know.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (05:05):
I mean, we've talked about our
lives, our media.
It's like just kind of a chitchat, but
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (05:09):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (05:09):
like, let's do some more like
purposeful, get to know youshere.
Um, so we've, we've had, uh,collected some q and as, some
from the general public, somefrom my good friend chat, G gt.
thank you for listening.
It doesn't listen, it justscrubs all of our
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (05:30):
Yeah.
I mean, it does a pretty goodjob.
I'm not gonna lie.
Like I feel like it gets us likethat on TikTok.
We have a TikTok that weoccasionally post to, and Rachel
did a um, uh, roast our podcastthing.
I'm like, oh man, I do, I feellike they really get us.
They, they understood theassignment with their roast.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (05:53):
so
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (05:53):
Ah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (05:53):

together.

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (06:07):
Yeah.
It gave me all the base jokesand I tweaked them a little bit.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (06:10):
They're J-J-G-B-T Jokes are not bad.
Not bad,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (06:14):
no, it said we got all our
information on Wikipedia and Icould not stand for
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:17):
no.
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (06:18):
I swapped that with Google Scholar
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (06:20):
There you go.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (06:21):
and 30 Rock.
I added that bit too.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:23):
Oh, I was like, oh man, that's kind
of a deep cut.
I can't believe that GVT gotthat.
That was you.
Mm,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (06:30):
You know?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:31):
I like it.
I like the peek behind thecurtain.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (06:34):
yeah, and that's the kind of content
that you would be donatingtowards when you support No To
God.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:38):
A lot of 30 rock references.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (06:41):
Yes,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:42):
Do you remember when we did that
guest episode where all wetalked about was 30 Rock?
What?
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (06:47):
vaguely.
I can't.
Was we supposed to?
I don't remember.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (06:52):
remember either.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (06:55):
God, we used to guess and that's back
when we were charming.
Okay.
Here's a question for you

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (07:03):
No,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (07:04):

every, or was it just fun andexciting?
'cause it was new.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (07:09):
I think that's probably it.
Because I think we were probablyalways the same.
Well, we used to, maybe we had abit more try hard, you know,
like we were on TikTok trying todo like cutesy stuff, you know?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (07:21):
like the shows.
I'm gonna have to go back, like,is our chemistry getting worse?
Are we just getting toocomfortable with each other?
Do we
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (07:27):
No such thing.
No such thing.

Little bit better with some Qs.

You got the Qs?
We got the A's.
Okay.
First question.
Let's, let's this one.

Good call.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (08:19):

Ooh.
Okay.
I'm gonna go first.
Uh, skincare,'cause we justtalked about it.
Your skincare routine.
Uh, I know you just listened tothe prosecutor's like 12 part
thing on uh, uh, hay.
Mid Lee's murder, the serialcase.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (08:48):
Yes.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (08:49):
So I'll go with that one.

it the murderer's name
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (08:52):
Yep,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (08:53):
like, I'm centering the victim.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (08:55):
yep.
And, uh, third thing, Mormonwise, because you just texted me
about it yesterday,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (09:04):
no.
Okay.
So those were things.
Yeah, those are definitelythings I've been consuming, but
I would say hyper fixations arelike even more intense.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (09:12):
more than the ha, even more than the
12 hour
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (09:15):
14.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (09:17):

listened to when I was laying onthe floor of my son's
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (09:21):
Okay.
Okay.

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (09:24):
I would've said my really big
hyper fixations lately have beenway back at the beginning of the
year.
I looked at the last quarter.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (09:31):
tutors.

head space of what has beengoing on earlier this year.

the worst friend.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (11:06):
Right now my hyper fixation is trying.
That is one of them.
I spend a ridiculous amount oftime researching eyeballs now,
uh, on the internet, readingacademic papers and studies to
get the answers that I want,which I have not yet found.
Uh, but yeah, that's a big one.

And so I'm trying to get themresolved and I'm not just gonna
sit around and wait.
So anyway, yes, I is one ofthem.
The JonBenet Ramsey case aroundChristmas was definitely a huge
one.
And then I would say another onegoing on right now would be.

I the, I mean the cleaning thecloset in like the buy nothing
or like reducing is definitelypart of it.
I read a blog post the other dayabout how to reuse old party
decorations so you never have tolike, and it was like, it's

over time.
I'm not a limber person, so Ifeel like that's all gonna go.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (15:55):
I'm still limber, but I like have
like zero.
Stamina or anything, but I, Imean, I don't work out and I
need to work on it, but justlike my body's falling apart, my
fucking eye is not even just theblocked tear duct, but just like
my eyesight is failing as I'mgetting older, like it's getting
worse and I notice it and it'sfucking awful.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (16:16):
It is good.
Stronger prescriptions.
My eyesight's been on aprogressive downslide since I
was like, what, 11?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (16:22):

rollercoaster is like, you know,reached that like pinnacle
moment, you know, you'rereaching like peak, peak speed.

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (16:40):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (16:41):
I have to get my cell phone light
out.
Oh, that is a good one.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (16:46):
What about you?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (16:47):
Um, I would say something, nobody,
they, I don't think anybody toldme about belly button hygiene.
I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (16:53):
Oh
squadcaster-183b_1_0 (16:54):
distinctly remember I was a child, so this
wasn't like a recent thing, butI do distinctly remember
realizing that you need to cleanin there.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (17:02):
yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (17:03):

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (17:10):
Yeah, I mean, like I expected, like
there was like a seed sproutingin there.
It was just nuts.
I can't believe I never knewthat

And it's got a distinctive smell
too, like belly button stuff.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (17:21):
mm-hmm.
It, well, it's sweat, it's likea sweaty whatever.
And
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (17:26):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (17:26):
did I not know?
Why did I, why did I think thatI didn't have to clean this?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (17:31):
Uh, fun fact, I, at one point I was
like looking at Amelia's bellybutton and I was like, Ugh.
And I was like, oh God, I don'tknow that I've been on it for
the girls.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (17:44):
I need to do that next bath.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (17:46):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (17:46):
in there
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (17:47):
They don't like it either because
they're like, Ugh,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (17:49):

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (17:50):

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (17:50):
I don't like
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (17:51):
nobody likes it.
I, I know, and I've asked thisof my husband before and I never
remember his answer, but like,when I push in my belly button,
it like hurts somewhere.
It shouldn't,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (18:05):
Right.
It like pings in a weird
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:07):
in your crotch, somewhere in your
crotch.
I'm like, is it my vagina?
Is it my urethra?
Like where is it?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (18:12):
a nerve in your like column or
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (18:14):
Yeah.
Yeah.
The vagus nerve maybe.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (18:17):
Uh
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (18:17):
that the one that runs?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (18:19):
nerves.
I don't like thinking about thatstuff.
Ugh.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:21):
But yeah, it pings in the crotch
somewhere and you're like, andso I, I think Austin said the
same thing.
So I think dudes experience thatsame thing, but yeah, that's
gotta be it.
You are absolutely right.
Nerves.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (18:32):
You're just touching some and that
makes it even worse.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:36):
Why does that gross you out?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (18:38):
I don't know.
I don't like the idea oftouching innards of my parts
like.
My kids, this is really gross.
Um, when we sit on like thecouch and read a book, they play
with my veins and they like movemy
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:50):
Oh, I do that with my, I do I, man,
I used to do that to my dad allthe time.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (18:55):
I apparently, it's a kid thing and
they
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (18:57):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (18:58):
and I hate it.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:59):
you can't really see mine.
Mine are kinda like.
You can see'em underneath theskin, but they don't like pop
out.
Do yours?
Pop out.
Yeah.
You're skinny.
That's why.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (19:09):
Dull.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (19:10):
dad, like, he would ha like, you
know, they're all like raised onthe back of his hand and I
remember tracing it with myhand, with my finger when I was
a kid.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (19:20):
think I remember doing that as a kid
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (19:21):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (19:22):
hated, now I have these permanent
bracelets that they play withinstead, and I'm like, thank
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (19:27):
Oh, that was your ulterior motive.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (19:29):
it wasn't.
I just, I, I like, it didn'thurt, but once I realized what
they were doing, like,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (19:35):
He said, don't touch my inner
parts.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (19:38):
no, they say don't play with the
inner.
I like also, if you, like, Iused to like getting like my
back of my knees tickled andthere's like a big vein back
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (19:46):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (19:46):
like, I don't like that being touched
either.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (19:48):
That kind of knees are very ticklish.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (19:50):
Oh see, I like it.
The sensitive skin.
now we're getting more now.
Listeners.
Do you like having the back ofyour knees tickled?
Tell us about it.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (19:59):
You know, you've always made that
joke about the back of yourknees.
I always thought that was kindof a euphemism for something,
but apparently not.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (20:07):
No, it's not.
It's not real like a sensualthing.
It's because I don't have anyjokes that are original.
They're all recycled fromsomewhere.
I have a very like steel trapmemory, um, that is a recycled
joke from family guy.
They make a joke about like asecret vagina in the back of the
knees.
So again, as much as I wouldlike to credit myself with being
somebody with like aninteresting, like erotic zone,
(20:29):
but it's, it's this, I stole itfrom family guy.
Literally every joke I'veprobably ever said it's gotten
from somewhere else.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (20:36):
Hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (20:37):
don't make any sense.
I know.
Not funny, rid reality.
Okay, here's one, here's one Ilike.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (20:48):

them.

okay.
You go first'cause you've got,well have it in mind.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (21:10):

I know one of'em,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (21:13):

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (21:32):
yeah, so like the Phantom.
That's a good one.
That is a really good one.
I wasn't thinking that.
I was thinking recency bias fromthe other

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (22:03):
Okay.

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (22:05):
And then the second is, again,
another episode of Ship
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (22:08):
Oh God, I know that actor.
He weirds me out.
Yeah.

Sherlock, he was in Sherlock and he has a
very weird way of playingMoriarty and he weirds me out.

priest.
Have you seen him in a priestoutfit?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (22:29):
Nope.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (22:30):
There you go.
As a, like a vulnerable and, uh,like a
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (22:35):
Sexually repressed.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (22:37):
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (22:38):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (22:39):
That was nice.
Um, and then the other one islike an ear.
It's, it is a bad one.
It's not like I wanna date him,but I'm like rooting for the
couple.
See now I've gone straight intoship happen modes.
I'm like, I'm rooting for thecouple.
Uh, but I really to believethat.
Saron could be fixed in the Lordof the Rings prequel to the
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (23:00):
but you know that he can't.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (23:01):
No, he's like evil incarnate.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (23:03):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (23:04):
oh, I think he really liked her.
So those are my two.
Big and Phantom.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (23:11):
fantom.
I mean, okay, this is a hard one'cause I'm like, what?
Like, I mean, I like a lot ofbad boys.
You know, there's some that arejust.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (23:18):
or somebody from the World War ii?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (23:20):
That's what immediately what I thought
when you thought like I couldfix them, I was like, yeah.
I mean, pretty much everybody inBand Brothers, I'm like, oh, you
need a hug so bad.
Or like, you know,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (23:32):
I should've even put
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (23:32):
you need a love of a woman.
But like, I mean, when I thinkof like bad guy characters that
I am just, you know, kind ofgaga for, this is a deep cut.
I don't think he, have you everseen the movie Logan, the third
Wolverine movie?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (23:48):
I have no desire.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (23:49):
know, I know you hate superheroes, but
So the first Wolverine waspretty good.
The second Wolverine was shit.
And then the third one came out,and then I was like, you're not
gonna fool me.
I know that the third one isgonna be even shittier than the
second one.
Wrong.
It was really, really fuckinggood.
And the main villain in it isplayed by Boyd Holbrook.
(24:11):
And, um.
He's a very, very sexy man, andhe's a very, very bad, bad guy
in that movie, but he is sofucking hot.
And it was funny because like Iwent down like a, at the time
when the movie came out, I wentdown like an internet rabbit
hole.
You know, and was like lookingat the fan fix and everything,
and there were like all thesepeople who were like, no, he is
(24:34):
not as bad as he see becausehe's, he's objectively sexy.
And they were like, no, there'sall these stories where like,
no, it's not really what youthink it is and all this
different kind of stuff.
And then I fell in with thiscamp that were like, dude.
You don't have to like makeexcuses, you know what I mean?
Like he can still be likebasically an evil Nazi and you
(24:58):
could still be like, yeah, buthe's really fucking hot.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (25:04):
morality and sex appeal do not have to go
hand in
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (25:07):
Yeah, exactly.
Stop making excuses for him,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (25:11):
And the fact that it's wrong makes
it feel so
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (25:14):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (25:17):
There you go.
Okay, I think we have time forone more fast one.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (25:21):
Do you wanna do the, the lightning
round?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (25:25):
Oh yeah.
The, uh, true crime.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (25:27):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (25:27):
felt like I couldn't think of any
other cases.
Um, so
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (25:32):
I got another one.
I can add one.
The Michael Peterson staircase.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (25:37):
I don't think I know enough about
it.
So we've, I've fallen back intotrue crime vis-a-vis
prosecutor's podcast where Istole, again, lots of ideas from
like the five star rating andreview questions saying, Hey,

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (25:55):
well,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (25:55):
like true crime and you like the deep
cuts
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (25:57):
I can't remember.
I somehow something about serialcrossed by like homepage on
Reddit and somebody recommendedit and I really agreed with a
lot of what they said.
So who doesn't like to heartheir own thoughts and opinions
echoed back to them?
And I don't think, well, I don'twanna give it away, but I didn't
necessarily agree with them onthe other big case that I
listened to.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (26:17):
Okay.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (26:17):
it, um.
Any oodle, so we've both fallenback into true crime.
I think you
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (26:22):
I've always been there.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (26:24):
crime 'cause you like to watch your
forensic files, which I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (26:27):
Always.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (26:29):
when I was trying to guess your hyper
fixations.
I was like, those aren't hyperfixations if they've always been
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (26:34):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (26:35):
crime
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (26:36):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (26:36):
the World War ii.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (26:38):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (26:38):
Those kind of things.
So I'm like, those don't count.
Um, anyways, that's just metrying to make myself feel
better about getting two maybe.
Um.
Anyway, so I've re-listened tothe 14 hour episode for like
series on the serial case ofHaman Lee.
Um, and I thought it was reallygood.
And then I also went back andlistened to JonBenet Ramsey,
(27:01):
which if you remember fromearlier this episode 20 minutes
ago, those were both of our inour hyper fixation list of what
we've been doing lately.
So I thought it would be fun ifwe did a lightning like opinion
comparison.
On what we thought the outcomesof the cases were, and I think,
you know, we might know some ofwhat the other one says.
(27:25):
If you've found our old big talkon true crime, is that a big
talk or is that an InLightsociety?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (27:31):
I think it's an in implied
society,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (27:33):
Okay.
I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (27:34):
I think.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (27:36):
trap memory,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (27:37):
Okay, I'll go with you.
It was a big talk then, whichis, which are out there
somewhere if you wanna findthem.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (27:42):
Yep.
Uh, somebody keeps downloading'em.
If I see it on our stats everyonce in a while, I'm like, oh
no.
Um, but they're out there.
And, um, we talked about theserial case, but for the
lightning round, we're gonnacount down and we're both gonna
say what we think, what we thinkabout the case case.
So starting with ad guilty orinnocent, those are our choices.
(28:10):
You ready?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (28:11):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (28:12):
3, 2, 1.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (28:15):
Guilty.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (28:16):
Oh, absolutely.
I've gotten into fights withcousins, not fights.
Discussions with cousins
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (28:22):
Heated discussions.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (28:24):
Well, I didn't really, I'm better
prepared when it happened.
I was not prepared.
I was like, I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (28:29):
Mm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (28:29):
remember a strong feeling that he did it.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (28:32):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (28:34):
and then she was like trying to tell
me all this stuff.
I'm like, listen, I don't knowoff the top of my head,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (28:39):
But now you're going back and you're
like, Nope, I stand by it.
Guilty.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (28:42):
Yeah.
Yeah.
He literally called her at 1230the night before he killed her.
They talked on the phone for afew minutes.
Uh, he said that she was begginghim to get back together.
She was literally on the phonewith her new boyfriend.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (28:55):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (28:56):
While he called her, she was doodling
his name, her new boyfriend'sname in her journal about how
much she loved him,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (29:03):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:03):
saying she was trying to get back
together with him.
Then he later told the advise,like his guidance counselor,
there was some kind of snafuwith prom.
So my guess is that he asked herto prom on that phone call and
she said no.
And that's when he was like, oh,this
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (29:18):
lost it.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (29:19):
And I mean, what?
Look at the facts.
Him and Jay were together allday.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (29:24):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:25):
that's proven
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (29:26):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (29:27):
the phone calls and the like, the
pings
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (29:30):
And then Jen and the corroboration.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:33):
Right.
So it, and, and when people sayit was, if it's not Adnan, it's
Jay.
And I'm like, well, they weretogether anyway.
So what are you trying to say?
Also, there's no fucking reasonfor Jay to kill this random
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (29:43):
Yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:44):
reason
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (29:45):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (29:45):
and I won't even entertain Don
because that's just insane.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (29:48):
That's the new boyfriend, right?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:50):
they'd been dating for two who killed
somebody that they've beendating for two weeks.
Anyways, at the end of the day,he took it way more seriously.
She had had a series ofboyfriends before him.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (30:00):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (30:01):
was his first girlfriend, so he
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (30:02):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (30:03):
end of the world.
Anyways, I don't need to getinto it.
Listen to the prosecutors.
Let us know what you think andhow I'm wrong, because I'm not
really digging into conspiracieson Reddit.
I'm dealing with the court case.
I read the defense vile.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (30:15):
Love it.
Next one.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (30:17):
Yes.
And so this is your hyperfixation, John Benet Ramsey.
Was it a family member or was itan intruder?
Okay.
You got your answer.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (30:28):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (30:29):
Oh, I'm, I'm, oh, I'm not sure.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (30:32):
2, 1.
We gotta go.
Come on.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (30:33):
3, 2, 1.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (30:35):
Family member.
Oh,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (30:38):
member.
I just had to get some kind of,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (30:41):
disin, dissent.
Dissonant.
No dissent.
Whatever words.
There you go.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (30:47):
a family member?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (30:48):
Because nothing else makes sense.
I mean, the whole fucking casedoesn't make sense to be honest.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (30:53):
Yeah, it's, it's a train
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (30:55):
it is an absolute, it's an absolute
botch, an absolute train wreck.
There is no way that we're evergonna know.
And, uh, but I mean, juststatistically, it's the most
likely she was found in thehouse.
You know what I mean?
It's just.
I mean, yeah, I could talkforever about the reasons why I
think that it's them.
But you know what?
The main thing that I will goback to with the thing that the
(31:18):
maid, that Ramseys look, theabsolute worst is they refused
to sit down with a policeinterview for four fucking
months after your child wasmurdered in your home.
That is ridiculous.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (31:33):
That
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (31:33):
what kind of lawyers you have or
different kind of things.
That is ridiculous.
You need to sit down.
There is some sort of coveruphappening in that moment.
'cause there's no other reasonwhy you would not sit down and
fucking answer questions.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (31:48):
No, I agree on that.
Yeah.
That is shady as hell.
It definitely shows that we'relike trying to protect ourselves
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (31:54):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (31:54):
we're trying to the
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (31:56):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (31:57):
case and it being in her handwriting,
Patsy's handwriting in hernotebook,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:03):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05 (32:03):
scratched out versions of it
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (32:05):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (32:06):
Nobody sat and wrote that lengthy ass
ransom note in their house.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:10):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (32:11):
insane.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (32:12):
I know.
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (32:14):
I just, I, I said intruder because
I like, the conclusion that theprosecutors came to.
So I'm
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (32:21):
Oh, well man, I'm gonna disagree
with them then.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (32:23):
I, I just feel like they didn't, I
guess they both had kids havekids, so they just like didn't
wanna believe that a parentcould do that to their child.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:31):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (32:31):
and they went overkill.
If they did do the, theyliterally went to the max with
trying to cover this up.
Who
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:39):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (32:40):
Who
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:40):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (32:41):
Does that to their child, like
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (32:43):
Out of all materials that were there
in the house, nothing was new,nothing was brought, it was all
materials in the house.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (32:50):
Yeah.
And
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (32:51):
People
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (32:52):
nothing was disturbed.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:53):
yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (32:54):
was a mess.
It, yeah, it just was, itdoesn't make sense.
There was no boots outside orwas there like some tracks.
It snowed and there was notracks in the snow.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:03):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (33:03):
just, it had to have been somebody in
the house
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:07):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (33:07):
think it was anything as nefarious as
what, um.
People concoct all thesehorrible
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:13):
yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (33:14):
about a
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (33:15):
Like some weird sex game, like
between the father and thedaughter.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (33:20):
I find it so ironic because these
people are accusing the ramseysof sexualizing their child, but
then these people jump on thatsame train of thought, like just
because she was in pageant, shemust have been, you know,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:31):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (33:32):
being abused by somebody.
Right.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:34):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (33:35):
that's what people, you know, they're
sexualizing her.
And I'm like, you aresexualizing
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:39):
yeah, yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (33:40):
Weirdos.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:42):
yeah.
I think it was an accident andthen things went terribly wrong,
whether it was Patsy or.
Burke, which has always been mypet theory.
Um, or John, right?
John?
Yeah.
John's the dad.
If something happened onaccident and the entire family
is covering it up.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (34:02):
That has to be,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (34:03):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (34:03):
they.
Must be unhinged because
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (34:06):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (34:07):
was insane.
Um, what they did, the extentthey want to.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (34:11):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (34:12):
but yeah, it just, I, not that I say
that, I can see how it wouldhappen, but like, don't
underestimate the amount ofstress a mom feels.
In the month of December.
Right.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (34:25):
That's fair.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (34:26):
with lack of sleep and a travel plan
the
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (34:29):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (34:30):
Like I can't, I can just, I can see
that the Kindle, not the Kindle,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_ (34:35):
Kindling.
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (34:36):
kindling being built and if there is
something wrong, like boom, thematch is lit, the fire goes up.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (34:44):
Yeah.
And then like the worst possibleconfluences of events.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (34:49):
Right.
And that could be my coping too.
And we're long, apparently weshould have, shouldn't have
opened this door on true crime,but like, I guess it could also
be me.
I don't wanna live in a worldwhere somebody random brings
into your house
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:01):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (35:02):
your kid,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:02):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (35:03):
Like if it is a parent, like that's
something that I have controlover.
I have control over my
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:08):
Yeah.
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (35:10):
So that feels better to
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (35:11):
no, I totally, I can totally see
that because yeah, theboogeyman, it's, it would
literally be a boogeyman and Idon't wanna believe in
boogeyman, you know, that comein completely unseen, unknown,
you know, like a ghost.
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:27):
knock anything over
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:29):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:29):
leave any evidence that
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:30):
yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (35:31):
the house
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (35:32):
Exactly.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:33):
other than some weird stuff on
clothes, her underpants.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_ (35:38):
Depending on who you ask, the touch, DNA
is all
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:42):
Yeah,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (35:43):
is a very big question mark.
Yes.
Botched the whole.
Anyway, you're right.
We're going long.
We don't need to talk aboutthis.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:49):
Crime podcast.

Taken this plunge, but
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (02:05):
after five years of content, we're
swinging that tablet around andwe're,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (02:10):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (02:11):
would you
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (02:11):
tip.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (02:12):
tip?
That's exactly what's happening.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (02:16):
Yep.
Yep.
Uh, but you know, we, we've beengetting more engagement lately
and some people asked if, youknow, there was any way that
they can contribute or supportthe show.
And so, and we've been kickingit.
We had been kicking it around,right.
But we thought, okay, well wedidn't really have a plan, but
this per, you know, some peoplehave asked, so let's just go
(02:37):
ahead, let's just take theplunge.
Um,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (02:41):
out there.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (02:42):
yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (02:43):
we didn't really wanna do, I, we
know money's tight for everybodyright now, so I didn't wanna do,
like, you know, we didn't wannado a Patreon with like
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (02:49):
monthly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even like a dollar a month.
I'm like, hmm, fucking dollar amonth.
Subscriptions.
I don't like subscriptions.
So yeah, putting this out thereas just, you know, if you feel
like you wanna contribute to thecontent that we've been doing
for the last couple years,please feel free.
Um, it's linked in the shownotes, um, and.
(03:12):
You know, I'll just give alittle plug, right?
This is my, this is my salespitch.
Obviously, you know, there's thepodcast, if you like the
podcast.
That's why you're listeningright now, but the, the pitch, I
guess for, you know, giving,throwing us a few dollars, we
are a completely independentpodcast.
No, no network backing here, noiHeartRadio, you know, Spotify,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (03:36):
we
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (03:36):
Wondery, wondering, all that kind of
stuff, you know, they, they getpaid a lot of money.
We, this is completely anindependent hobby of ours.
We pay for everything.
Yeah, there you go.
Labor of love.
We pay for everything out ofpocket, so anything that you can
throw our way helps cover thecost of creating it.
Um, and you know, if you areinto this kinda independent
(04:03):
podcasting, keeps things alittle weird, a little bold, um,
that's a great way to show ussome love.
Um, if you feel compelled to doso.
That's my sales pitch.
This is probably not a strongsales pitch.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (04:18):
It's good enough for me.
I'm gonna go donate right now.
Um,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (04:21):
Donate to
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (04:22):
you, there's like a little, I know,
I'll pay 4% to donate to myself.
Um, actually like a littlemessage box in there where you
can leave a message.
If you put a topic or a questionin there, we will bump that
right to the top of the list.
I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (04:38):
Fast track it.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (04:40):
I'd say within two weeks we'll
probably turn that shit aroundif you go.
You support the show.
So that is our, our plug there.
We were trying to give back toyou guys as much as you guys
would be giving to us.
And one of the ways that we'regonna try to give back, this is
like the most conceited thing Istarted saying it is that we're
gonna tell you more aboutourselves.
(05:00):
God, you
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (05:02):
because I know you're just dying to
know.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (05:05):
I mean, we've talked about our
lives, our media.
It's like just kind of a chitchat, but
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (05:09):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (05:09):
like, let's do some more like
purposeful, get to know youshere.
Um, so we've, we've had, uh,collected some q and as, some
from the general public, somefrom my good friend chat, G gt.
thank you for listening.
It doesn't listen, it justscrubs all of our
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (05:30):
Yeah.
I mean, it does a pretty goodjob.
I'm not gonna lie.
Like I feel like it gets us likethat on TikTok.
We have a TikTok that weoccasionally post to, and Rachel
did a um, uh, roast our podcastthing.
I'm like, oh man, I do, I feellike they really get us.
They, they understood theassignment with their roast.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (05:53):
so
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (05:53):
Ah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (05:53):
fun little internet or fun little
internet.
That's a fun little Societychats Golden Nugget is I, that's
like about 90% AI and like 10%me.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (06:03):
Yeah, well, you guys work well
together.
A plus.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (06:07):
Yeah.
It gave me all the base jokesand I tweaked them a little bit.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (06:10):
They're J-J-G-B-T Jokes are not bad.
Not bad,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (06:14):
no, it said we got all our
information on Wikipedia and Icould not stand for
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:17):
no.
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (06:18):
I swapped that with Google Scholar
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (06:20):
There you go.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (06:21):
and 30 Rock.
I added that bit too.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:23):
Oh, I was like, oh man, that's kind
of a deep cut.
I can't believe that GVT gotthat.
That was you.
Mm,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (06:30):
You know?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:31):
I like it.
I like the peek behind thecurtain.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (06:34):
yeah, and that's the kind of content
that you would be donatingtowards when you support No To
God.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:38):
A lot of 30 rock references.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (06:41):
Yes,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (06:42):
Do you remember when we did that
guest episode where all wetalked about was 30 Rock?
What?
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (06:47):
vaguely.
I can't.
Was we supposed to?
I don't remember.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (06:52):
remember either.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (06:55):
God, we used to guess and that's back
when we were charming.
Okay.
Here's a question for you
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (06:59):
Okay.
squadcaster-183b_1_05 (07:00):
listeners
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (07:00):

less charming than we used to be?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (07:03):
No,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (07:04):
like we used to be more like, like
every, or was it just fun andexciting?
'cause it was new.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (07:09):
I think that's probably it.
Because I think we were probablyalways the same.
Well, we used to, maybe we had abit more try hard, you know,
like we were on TikTok trying todo like cutesy stuff, you know?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (07:21):
like the shows.
I'm gonna have to go back, like,is our chemistry getting worse?
Are we just getting toocomfortable with each other?
Do we
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (07:27):
No such thing.
No such thing.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (07:30):

We got the A's.
Okay.
First question.
Let's, let's this one.
Oh my gosh.
We should try to guess theothers because we talk about
these
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (08:17):
Ooh.
Yeah.
Good call.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (08:19):
Okay, here's a swap.
Um, what is your co-hosts?

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (08:28):
Ooh.
Okay.
I'm gonna go first.
Uh, skincare,'cause we justtalked about it.
Your skincare routine.
Uh, I know you just listened tothe prosecutor's like 12 part
thing on uh, uh, hay.
Mid Lee's murder, the serialcase.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (08:48):
Yes.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (08:49):
So I'll go with that one.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (08:51):
it the murderer's name
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (08:52):
Yep,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (08:53):
like, I'm centering the victim.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (08:55):
yep.
And, uh, third thing, Mormonwise, because you just texted me
about it yesterday,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (09:04):
no.
Okay.
So those were things.
Yeah, those are definitelythings I've been consuming, but
I would say hyper fixations arelike even more intense.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (09:12):
more than the ha, even more than the
12 hour
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (09:15):
14.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (09:17):
14.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (09:18):
that was just for, that's what I
listened to when I was laying onthe floor of my son's
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (09:21):
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (09:23):

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (09:23):
Give it
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (09:24):
I would've said my really big
hyper fixations lately have beenway back at the beginning of the
year.
I looked at the last quarter.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (09:31):
tutors.
Duh.
Tutors.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (09:34):

Yep.
Yep.
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (09:41):
then my most recent one, which I also
talked about today, is mydinosaur video game.

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (09:46):
Ah.
squadcaster-183b_1_0 (09:47):
dinosaurs, which I am getting back into,
but the video game, I like watchpeople play it on YouTube.
That's how sad my life is, but.
That's my three.
Oh, you did really good though.

Ha.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (10:06):
I'm not gonna do as good.
I know the JonBenet Ramsey case'cause you were like deep
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (10:11):
deep into it.
Yeah.
And we, we talked about it on anepisode.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (10:15):

Yeah.
Um, and I know what, what hasLaura been posting about on
Reddit?
Because I feel like you sent mea link.
To a post that you did on Redditor something.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (10:31):
I am trying to think of what
Reddit post I would've sent you.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (10:34):
Uh, you've
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (10:35):

closet?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (10:40):
I've been, yeah, I've been trying to
minimize everything.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (10:44):
Yes.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (10:45):
Get rid of.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (10:46):
Now I gotta put myself back into the
head space of what has beengoing on earlier this year.
Dude, I said to swap this and Ishould not.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (10:57):
I feel very put on the spot.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (10:59):
Yeah.

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (11:04):
Uh, I would.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (11:05):
the worst friend.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (11:06):
Right now my hyper fixation is trying.
That is one of them.
I spend a ridiculous amount oftime researching eyeballs now,
uh, on the internet, readingacademic papers and studies to
get the answers that I want,which I have not yet found.
Uh, but yeah, that's a big one.
(11:27):
I just went to the doctor againtoday.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (11:30):
Oh my gosh.
What is that?
Like 15 visits I feel
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (11:33):
Uh, uh, I think the sixth or
seventh.
It's not me being just like ahypochondriac, like a
hypochondriac.
Like there was like,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (11:40):
there.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (11:41):
there are problems.
And so I'm trying to get themresolved and I'm not just gonna
sit around and wait.
So anyway, yes, I is one ofthem.
The JonBenet Ramsey case aroundChristmas was definitely a huge
one.
And then I would say another onegoing on right now would be.
(12:02):
I the, I mean the cleaning thecloset in like the buy nothing
or like reducing is definitelypart of it.
I read a blog post the other dayabout how to reuse old party
decorations so you never have tolike, and it was like, it's
gonna turn me, turn me into ahoarder.
I was like, you kind of have tochoose, right?
(12:24):

hoarder or.

ago for a book clip'cause it waslike a British themed book,
fucking flat as a pancake, likehockey pucks.
And I was like, I fuckingfollowed the goddamn recipe.
And this happened the last timeI made'em too.

pastry outta bed
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (13:56):

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (14:02):
Ugh.

But you, I think you also shoot for
harder recipes'cause youstruggle with the spritz, the
spits cookies or whatever
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (14:09):
Spritz.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (14:10):

But you don't remember which one?
God dammit.
All right, I'm gonna have tolook.
I'm going to look back.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (14:25):
Fers got decades left.
I'm not trying to learn thisstuff yet.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (14:31):
Okay, next questions.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (14:32):
Okay.

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (14:35):

Sure.
Um.
Dude, I feel like aging ingeneral, like people did warn
you about it, but like,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (15:15):
You can't
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (15:16):

It's like parenthood.
You don't know until you're init.
And, uh, aging is one of thosethings.
'cause uh, my body's fuckingfalling apart, man.
I, it's not, it's not fair.
I've never had this manyproblems before and I'm
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (15:34):
gonna start touching my toes right
now.
Like, I don't know.
'cause mobility is the other
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (15:38):
I thought you were gonna talk
about my toenail fungus, which Iindeed,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (15:41):
No.
Don't, I don't wanna hear aboutthat.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (15:43):

Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (15:49):
know, the things that you've neglected
over time.
I'm not a limber person, so Ifeel like that's all gonna go.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (15:55):
I'm still limber, but I like have
like zero.
Stamina or anything, but I, Imean, I don't work out and I
need to work on it, but justlike my body's falling apart, my
fucking eye is not even just theblocked tear duct, but just like
my eyesight is failing as I'mgetting older, like it's getting
worse and I notice it and it'sfucking awful.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (16:16):
It is good.
Stronger prescriptions.
My eyesight's been on aprogressive downslide since I
was like, what, 11?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (16:22):
Yeah.
I mean, me too, but it's just,it's, it's just the
rollercoaster is like, you know,reached that like pinnacle
moment, you know, you'rereaching like peak, peak speed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (16:35):
Yeah, we've experienced that.
When we play our bird boardgame, I'm like, I can't read
these
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (16:40):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (16:41):
I have to get my cell phone light
out.
Oh, that is a good one.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (16:46):
What about you?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (16:47):
Um, I would say something, nobody,
they, I don't think anybody toldme about belly button hygiene.
I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (16:53):
Oh
squadcaster-183b_1_0 (16:54):
distinctly remember I was a child, so this
wasn't like a recent thing, butI do distinctly remember
realizing that you need to cleanin there.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (17:02):
yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (17:03):
and I was like, there's hairs
sticking out of it.
And I'm like, pull out the hairsoutta my belly
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (17:08):
And like that little like lint ball.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (17:10):
Yeah, I mean, like I expected, like
there was like a seed sproutingin there.
It was just nuts.
I can't believe I never knewthat
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (17:17):
And it's got a distinctive smell
too, like belly button stuff.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (17:21):
mm-hmm.
It, well, it's sweat, it's likea sweaty whatever.
And
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (17:26):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (17:26):
did I not know?
Why did I, why did I think thatI didn't have to clean this?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (17:31):
Uh, fun fact, I, at one point I was
like looking at Amelia's bellybutton and I was like, Ugh.
And I was like, oh God, I don'tknow that I've been on it for
the girls.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (17:44):
I need to do that next bath.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (17:46):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (17:46):
in there
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (17:47):
They don't like it either because
they're like, Ugh,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (17:49):
yeah,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (17:50):

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (17:50):
I don't like
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (17:51):
nobody likes it.
I, I know, and I've asked thisof my husband before and I never
remember his answer, but like,when I push in my belly button,
it like hurts somewhere.
It shouldn't,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (18:05):
Right.
It like pings in a weird
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:07):
in your crotch, somewhere in your
crotch.
I'm like, is it my vagina?
Is it my urethra?
Like where is it?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (18:12):
a nerve in your like column or
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (18:14):
Yeah.
Yeah.
The vagus nerve maybe.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (18:17):
Uh
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (18:17):
that the one that runs?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (18:19):
nerves.
I don't like thinking about thatstuff.
Ugh.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:21):
But yeah, it pings in the crotch
somewhere and you're like, andso I, I think Austin said the
same thing.
So I think dudes experience thatsame thing, but yeah, that's
gotta be it.
You are absolutely right.
Nerves.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (18:32):
You're just touching some and that
makes it even worse.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:36):
Why does that gross you out?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (18:38):
I don't know.
I don't like the idea oftouching innards of my parts
like.
My kids, this is really gross.
Um, when we sit on like thecouch and read a book, they play
with my veins and they like movemy
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:50):
Oh, I do that with my, I do I, man,
I used to do that to my dad allthe time.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (18:55):
I apparently, it's a kid thing and
they
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (18:57):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (18:58):
and I hate it.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (18:59):
you can't really see mine.
Mine are kinda like.
You can see'em underneath theskin, but they don't like pop
out.
Do yours?
Pop out.
Yeah.
You're skinny.
That's why.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (19:09):
Dull.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (19:10):
dad, like, he would ha like, you
know, they're all like raised onthe back of his hand and I
remember tracing it with myhand, with my finger when I was
a kid.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (19:20):
think I remember doing that as a kid
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (19:21):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (19:22):
hated, now I have these permanent
bracelets that they play withinstead, and I'm like, thank
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (19:27):
Oh, that was your ulterior motive.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (19:29):
it wasn't.
I just, I, I like, it didn'thurt, but once I realized what
they were doing, like,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (19:35):
He said, don't touch my inner
parts.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (19:38):
no, they say don't play with the
inner.
I like also, if you, like, Iused to like getting like my
back of my knees tickled andthere's like a big vein back
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (19:46):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (19:46):
like, I don't like that being touched
either.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (19:48):
That kind of knees are very ticklish.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (19:50):
Oh see, I like it.
The sensitive skin.
now we're getting more now.
Listeners.
Do you like having the back ofyour knees tickled?
Tell us about it.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (19:59):
You know, you've always made that
joke about the back of yourknees.
I always thought that was kindof a euphemism for something,
but apparently not.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (20:07):
No, it's not.
It's not real like a sensualthing.
It's because I don't have anyjokes that are original.
They're all recycled fromsomewhere.
I have a very like steel trapmemory, um, that is a recycled
joke from family guy.
They make a joke about like asecret vagina in the back of the
knees.
So again, as much as I wouldlike to credit myself with being
somebody with like aninteresting, like erotic zone,
(20:29):
but it's, it's this, I stole itfrom family guy.
Literally every joke I'veprobably ever said it's gotten
from somewhere else.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (20:36):
Hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (20:37):
don't make any sense.
I know.
Not funny, rid reality.
Okay, here's one, here's one Ilike.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (20:48):
Okay.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (20:49):
Who is your ultimate I could fix
them.
Character crush.
Like who could you fix?
Like somebody who is likeirredeemable?
laura-b_1_05-16-20 (21:00):

squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (21:01):
Yeah, like
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (21:02):
Oh,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (21:03):

laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (21:06):
okay.
You go first'cause you've got,well have it in mind.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (21:10):
I'll set the, uh, the groundwork.
So
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (21:12):
I know one of'em,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (21:13):

So my two are from, yeah, it'sjust like who would you wanna
date that's like that
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (21:31):
Not Dateable.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (21:32):
yeah, so like the Phantom.
That's a good one.
That is a really good one.
I wasn't thinking that.
I was thinking recency bias fromthe other
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (21:38):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (21:38):

wanna, I wanna date you.
I could fix
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (22:03):
Okay.
That's one.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (22:05):
And then the second is, again,
another episode of Ship
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (22:08):
Oh God, I know that actor.
He weirds me out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's got a, he, when he was on,um,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (22:16):
He was on something I knew you'd

Sherlock, he was in Sherlock and he has a
very weird way of playingMoriarty and he weirds me out.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (22:25):
oh, well I wanna date him as a hot
priest.
Have you seen him in a priestoutfit?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (22:29):
Nope.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (22:30):
There you go.
As a, like a vulnerable and, uh,like a
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (22:35):
Sexually repressed.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (22:37):
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (22:38):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (22:39):
That was nice.
Um, and then the other one islike an ear.
It's, it is a bad one.
It's not like I wanna date him,but I'm like rooting for the
couple.
See now I've gone straight intoship happen modes.
I'm like, I'm rooting for thecouple.
Uh, but I really to believethat.
Saron could be fixed in the Lordof the Rings prequel to the
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (23:00):
but you know that he can't.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (23:01):
No, he's like evil incarnate.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (23:03):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (23:04):
oh, I think he really liked her.
So those are my two.
Big and Phantom.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (23:11):
fantom.
I mean, okay, this is a hard one'cause I'm like, what?
Like, I mean, I like a lot ofbad boys.
You know, there's some that arejust.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (23:18):
or somebody from the World War ii?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (23:20):
That's what immediately what I thought
when you thought like I couldfix them, I was like, yeah.
I mean, pretty much everybody inBand Brothers, I'm like, oh, you
need a hug so bad.
Or like, you know,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (23:32):
I should've even put
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (23:32):
you need a love of a woman.
But like, I mean, when I thinkof like bad guy characters that
I am just, you know, kind ofgaga for, this is a deep cut.
I don't think he, have you everseen the movie Logan, the third
Wolverine movie?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (23:48):
I have no desire.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (23:49):
know, I know you hate superheroes, but
So the first Wolverine waspretty good.
The second Wolverine was shit.
And then the third one came out,and then I was like, you're not
gonna fool me.
I know that the third one isgonna be even shittier than the
second one.
Wrong.
It was really, really fuckinggood.
And the main villain in it isplayed by Boyd Holbrook.
(24:11):
And, um.
He's a very, very sexy man, andhe's a very, very bad, bad guy
in that movie, but he is sofucking hot.
And it was funny because like Iwent down like a, at the time
when the movie came out, I wentdown like an internet rabbit
hole.
You know, and was like lookingat the fan fix and everything,
and there were like all thesepeople who were like, no, he is
(24:34):
not as bad as he see becausehe's, he's objectively sexy.
And they were like, no, there'sall these stories where like,
no, it's not really what youthink it is and all this
different kind of stuff.
And then I fell in with thiscamp that were like, dude.
You don't have to like makeexcuses, you know what I mean?
Like he can still be likebasically an evil Nazi and you
(24:58):
could still be like, yeah, buthe's really fucking hot.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (25:04):
morality and sex appeal do not have to go
hand in
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (25:07):
Yeah, exactly.
Stop making excuses for him,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (25:11):
And the fact that it's wrong makes
it feel so
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (25:14):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (25:17):
There you go.
Okay, I think we have time forone more fast one.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (25:21):
Do you wanna do the, the lightning
round?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (25:25):
Oh yeah.
The, uh, true crime.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (25:27):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (25:27):
felt like I couldn't think of any
other cases.
Um, so
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (25:32):
I got another one.
I can add one.
The Michael Peterson staircase.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (25:37):
I don't think I know enough about
it.
So we've, I've fallen back intotrue crime vis-a-vis
prosecutor's podcast where Istole, again, lots of ideas from
like the five star rating andreview questions saying, Hey,
hey,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (25:50):
It's a great show.
Go check it out.
I, I've just discovering italong with, well after Rachel
did, so
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (25:55):
well,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (25:55):
like true crime and you like the deep
cuts
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (25:57):
I can't remember.
I somehow something about serialcrossed by like homepage on
Reddit and somebody recommendedit and I really agreed with a
lot of what they said.
So who doesn't like to heartheir own thoughts and opinions
echoed back to them?
And I don't think, well, I don'twanna give it away, but I didn't
necessarily agree with them onthe other big case that I
listened to.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (26:17):
Okay.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (26:17):
it, um.
Any oodle, so we've both fallenback into true crime.
I think you
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (26:22):
I've always been there.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (26:24):
crime 'cause you like to watch your
forensic files, which I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (26:27):
Always.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (26:29):
when I was trying to guess your hyper
fixations.
I was like, those aren't hyperfixations if they've always been
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (26:34):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (26:35):
crime
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (26:36):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (26:36):
the World War ii.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (26:38):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (26:38):
Those kind of things.
So I'm like, those don't count.
Um, anyways, that's just metrying to make myself feel
better about getting two maybe.
Um.
Anyway, so I've re-listened tothe 14 hour episode for like
series on the serial case ofHaman Lee.
Um, and I thought it was reallygood.
And then I also went back andlistened to JonBenet Ramsey,
(27:01):
which if you remember fromearlier this episode 20 minutes
ago, those were both of our inour hyper fixation list of what
we've been doing lately.
So I thought it would be fun ifwe did a lightning like opinion
comparison.
On what we thought the outcomesof the cases were, and I think,
you know, we might know some ofwhat the other one says.
(27:25):
If you've found our old big talkon true crime, is that a big
talk or is that an InLightsociety?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (27:31):
I think it's an in implied
society,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (27:33):
Okay.
I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (27:34):
I think.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (27:36):
trap memory,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (27:37):
Okay, I'll go with you.
It was a big talk then, whichis, which are out there
somewhere if you wanna findthem.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (27:42):
Yep.
Uh, somebody keeps downloading'em.
If I see it on our stats everyonce in a while, I'm like, oh
no.
Um, but they're out there.
And, um, we talked about theserial case, but for the
lightning round, we're gonnacount down and we're both gonna
say what we think, what we thinkabout the case case.
So starting with ad guilty orinnocent, those are our choices.
(28:10):
You ready?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (28:11):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (28:12):
3, 2, 1.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (28:15):
Guilty.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (28:16):
Oh, absolutely.
I've gotten into fights withcousins, not fights.
Discussions with cousins
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (28:22):
Heated discussions.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (28:24):
Well, I didn't really, I'm better
prepared when it happened.
I was not prepared.
I was like, I
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (28:29):
Mm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (28:29):
remember a strong feeling that he did it.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (28:32):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (28:34):
and then she was like trying to tell
me all this stuff.
I'm like, listen, I don't knowoff the top of my head,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (28:39):
But now you're going back and you're
like, Nope, I stand by it.
Guilty.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (28:42):
Yeah.
Yeah.
He literally called her at 1230the night before he killed her.
They talked on the phone for afew minutes.
Uh, he said that she was begginghim to get back together.
She was literally on the phonewith her new boyfriend.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (28:55):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (28:56):
While he called her, she was doodling
his name, her new boyfriend'sname in her journal about how
much she loved him,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (29:03):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:03):
saying she was trying to get back
together with him.
Then he later told the advise,like his guidance counselor,
there was some kind of snafuwith prom.
So my guess is that he asked herto prom on that phone call and
she said no.
And that's when he was like, oh,this
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (29:18):
lost it.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (29:19):
And I mean, what?
Look at the facts.
Him and Jay were together allday.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (29:24):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:25):
that's proven
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (29:26):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (29:27):
the phone calls and the like, the
pings
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (29:30):
And then Jen and the corroboration.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:33):
Right.
So it, and, and when people sayit was, if it's not Adnan, it's
Jay.
And I'm like, well, they weretogether anyway.
So what are you trying to say?
Also, there's no fucking reasonfor Jay to kill this random
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (29:43):
Yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:44):
reason
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (29:45):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (29:45):
and I won't even entertain Don
because that's just insane.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (29:48):
That's the new boyfriend, right?
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (29:50):
they'd been dating for two who killed
somebody that they've beendating for two weeks.
Anyways, at the end of the day,he took it way more seriously.
She had had a series ofboyfriends before him.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (30:00):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (30:01):
was his first girlfriend, so he
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (30:02):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (30:03):
end of the world.
Anyways, I don't need to getinto it.
Listen to the prosecutors.
Let us know what you think andhow I'm wrong, because I'm not
really digging into conspiracieson Reddit.
I'm dealing with the court case.
I read the defense vile.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (30:15):
Love it.
Next one.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (30:17):
Yes.
And so this is your hyperfixation, John Benet Ramsey.
Was it a family member or was itan intruder?
Okay.
You got your answer.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (30:28):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (30:29):
Oh, I'm, I'm, oh, I'm not sure.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (30:32):
2, 1.
We gotta go.
Come on.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (30:33):
3, 2, 1.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (30:35):
Family member.
Oh,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (30:38):
member.
I just had to get some kind of,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (30:41):
disin, dissent.
Dissonant.
No dissent.
Whatever words.
There you go.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (30:47):
a family member?
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (30:48):
Because nothing else makes sense.
I mean, the whole fucking casedoesn't make sense to be honest.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (30:53):
Yeah, it's, it's a train
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (30:55):
it is an absolute, it's an absolute
botch, an absolute train wreck.
There is no way that we're evergonna know.
And, uh, but I mean, juststatistically, it's the most
likely she was found in thehouse.
You know what I mean?
It's just.
I mean, yeah, I could talkforever about the reasons why I
think that it's them.
But you know what?
The main thing that I will goback to with the thing that the
(31:18):
maid, that Ramseys look, theabsolute worst is they refused
to sit down with a policeinterview for four fucking
months after your child wasmurdered in your home.
That is ridiculous.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (31:33):
That
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (31:33):
what kind of lawyers you have or
different kind of things.
That is ridiculous.
You need to sit down.
There is some sort of coveruphappening in that moment.
'cause there's no other reasonwhy you would not sit down and
fucking answer questions.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (31:48):
No, I agree on that.
Yeah.
That is shady as hell.
It definitely shows that we'relike trying to protect ourselves
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (31:54):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (31:54):
we're trying to the
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (31:56):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (31:57):
case and it being in her handwriting,
Patsy's handwriting in hernotebook,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:03):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05 (32:03):
scratched out versions of it
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (32:05):
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (32:06):
Nobody sat and wrote that lengthy ass
ransom note in their house.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:10):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (32:11):
insane.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (32:12):
I know.
Yep.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (32:14):
I just, I, I said intruder because
I like, the conclusion that theprosecutors came to.
So I'm
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (32:21):
Oh, well man, I'm gonna disagree
with them then.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (32:23):
I, I just feel like they didn't, I
guess they both had kids havekids, so they just like didn't
wanna believe that a parentcould do that to their child.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:31):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (32:31):
and they went overkill.
If they did do the, theyliterally went to the max with
trying to cover this up.
Who
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:39):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (32:40):
Who
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:40):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (32:41):
Does that to their child, like
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (32:43):
Out of all materials that were there
in the house, nothing was new,nothing was brought, it was all
materials in the house.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (32:50):
Yeah.
And
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (32:51):
People
squadcaster-183b_1_05-1 (32:52):
nothing was disturbed.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (32:53):
yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (32:54):
was a mess.
It, yeah, it just was, itdoesn't make sense.
There was no boots outside orwas there like some tracks.
It snowed and there was notracks in the snow.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:03):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (33:03):
just, it had to have been somebody in
the house
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:07):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (33:07):
think it was anything as nefarious as
what, um.
People concoct all thesehorrible
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:13):
yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (33:14):
about a
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20450 (33:15):
Like some weird sex game, like
between the father and thedaughter.
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2025 (33:20):
I find it so ironic because these
people are accusing the ramseysof sexualizing their child, but
then these people jump on thatsame train of thought, like just
because she was in pageant, shemust have been, you know,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:31):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (33:32):
being abused by somebody.
Right.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:34):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (33:35):
that's what people, you know, they're
sexualizing her.
And I'm like, you aresexualizing
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:39):
yeah, yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (33:40):
Weirdos.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (33:42):
yeah.
I think it was an accident andthen things went terribly wrong,
whether it was Patsy or.
Burke, which has always been mypet theory.
Um, or John, right?
John?
Yeah.
John's the dad.
If something happened onaccident and the entire family
is covering it up.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (34:02):
That has to be,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (34:03):
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (34:03):
they.
Must be unhinged because
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (34:06):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (34:07):
was insane.
Um, what they did, the extentthey want to.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (34:11):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (34:12):
but yeah, it just, I, not that I say
that, I can see how it wouldhappen, but like, don't
underestimate the amount ofstress a mom feels.
In the month of December.
Right.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204 (34:25):
That's fair.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (34:26):
with lack of sleep and a travel plan
the
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_20 (34:29):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (34:30):
Like I can't, I can just, I can see
that the Kindle, not the Kindle,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_ (34:35):
Kindling.
squadcaster-183b_1_05- (34:36):
kindling being built and if there is
something wrong, like boom, thematch is lit, the fire goes up.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (34:44):
Yeah.
And then like the worst possibleconfluences of events.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16 (34:49):
Right.
And that could be my coping too.
And we're long, apparently weshould have, shouldn't have
opened this door on true crime,but like, I guess it could also
be me.
I don't wanna live in a worldwhere somebody random brings
into your house
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:01):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (35:02):
your kid,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:02):
Yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-2 (35:03):
Like if it is a parent, like that's
something that I have controlover.
I have control over my
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:08):
Yeah.
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-202 (35:10):
So that feels better to
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (35:11):
no, I totally, I can totally see
that because yeah, theboogeyman, it's, it would
literally be a boogeyman and Idon't wanna believe in
boogeyman, you know, that comein completely unseen, unknown,
you know, like a ghost.
Yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:27):
knock anything over
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:29):
yeah,
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:29):
leave any evidence that
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2045 (35:30):
yeah.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16-20 (35:31):
the house
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_2 (35:32):
Exactly.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:33):
other than some weird stuff on
clothes, her underpants.
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_ (35:38):
Depending on who you ask, the touch, DNA
is all
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:42):
Yeah,
laura-b_1_05-16-2025_204507 (35:43):
is a very big question mark.
Yes.
Botched the whole.
Anyway, you're right.
We're going long.
We don't need to talk aboutthis.
squadcaster-183b_1_05-16- (35:49):
Crime podcast.
