Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Firms show. So if you're listening to this out of
order and you're going to listen to yesterday's podcast next,
we know it was Clark Gable. Yeah, we know. We
(00:23):
can feel like that. You're listening to the next podcast
and you really want to tell us it was Clark Gable.
We know. Why does Brodie have a puss on his
face about that? I haven't listened to yesterday's podcast. It's
not a push, just we know, thank you, thank You're good.
Now move on. A good rule of thought. If you're
listening to a podcast and then they do something wrong,
they've already been told yeah scary. And I have that
(00:44):
rule in the brook we give a one day rule.
Whatever the day we post it, you have. You have
the one day to tell us that we made a mistake.
But if you listened to it three weeks later, you
don't have to worry. We know. Last week I was
on the podcast, on the Other Brooken Boys podcast. Just
to give you a next example of this and how
this happens, I said on the podcast, yeah, this song
(01:05):
about a week ago, week ago? Who does that? Whatever? Yeah?
Within an hour of the podcast posting. I had five
people tell me it was Bobby Schmurder and then but
the gift keeps on giving as every single day the
world you gotta live in now though it was telling
me yeah, I mean but that was recorded about a
week ago, and I said on one and a month like,
(01:26):
so today's today's thing is, hey, we know it's Clark Gable. Yeah,
we know, Okay, it is funny that we'll be or
if we're not, you know, we're on vacation for Christmas
or whatever the holidays and we're doing best of We'll
get tweets from people like telling us like, oh, yeah,
I feel the same way. I don't know what you're
talking about. Were feeling some sort of way? Are you
feeling well? They'll love the chicken joke like I haven't
(01:49):
been at work in nineteen days. I don't know what
that is. This is a fifteen minute morning show. Welcome
if you're first time listener, Welcome to the family. I'm Bethany.
To my left is David Brodie garretts Um. What scariest
to my rights? You don't know how much I want
to do this right now, but I'm gonna refrain it. Man,
you want and I to leave the room. What are
you talking about? You got that giant bubble wrap, not
(02:11):
just regular size bubble wrap. This is the good kind,
the giant size, fun size. That's how those bubbles are
like an into cross. Yeah, but that that's now the
medium size bubble rap. This is medium Yeah, because Garrett
was popping bubbles that were the size of football. I
(02:32):
was doing that in the club the other night. Not
popping bobble here you do it. So this okay, So
what's wrong with this? What's the matter, Scotty B. What's
the matter? Those are expensive? That's expensive. Yes, bubble wrap
is very expensive. It's at least with this stuff that
I'm popping right now, I'm popping bubbles. Come on, I
(02:55):
thought bubbles more expensive than That's like nails on a
chalkboard for me. So you don't like to sound of it, No, No,
I do like the sound of it. But it makes me.
It makes me cringe. I'm wasting money, yeah, yeah, because
you reuse it. Just Scott. Scotty B is like the
packing guru. Yeah. When I'm done here, I'm gonna open
my store, Scott ships, so I'm gonna save all that
stop stopping it. I mean, the thing is this was
(03:19):
get the website. It came in a box, so it's
not my bubble wrap. It's other people's bubble wrap. Well
that's where bubble wrap tends tends to be and was
just not the biggest How is this medium? I just
told you because now when you buy like stuff from Amazon,
they ship it in like football size pillows, air pockets.
You pop those. Well anyway, we put actually, here's a
(03:40):
plug for the for the Instagram atil Katherine Kathleen put
it on Elvis Ranch Show. What relaxes you for me?
It's bubble wrap, all right. I thought you listen to
E d M music to relax. I do a lot
of it. And that's redundant. That's true. You just music music. Yeah,
(04:01):
a t M machine and you I see you united
because that happens all the time. I got nothing. So
can we talk about what just happened outside? I don't
think any of you were outside, but um, we got
(04:23):
these beautiful gold roses, and uh and so I Brodie,
Brodie or Scary gave one of them to whatever interns
you gave one to our one of our interns and um,
and I said, so now you need to hold it
and say show me the beast, like from Beauty and
the Beast, and she said that movie is creepy, and
it was the first time I stopped and thought about it.
(04:46):
Beauty and the Beast is about Stockholm syndrome. What is Stockholm?
So if you don't know what Stockholm syndrome is, uh,
it is. It is basically this phenomenon where if you're
held captive by somebody, you start to develop feelings of
sympathy or affection towards that person. That didn't happen in
the movie Misery though, no, no, no it didn't. I
(05:08):
learned what hobbling men. So if you think about it,
the least captures her, keeps her in a cage, and
then she eventually falls in love with him. That is
the definition of Stockholms all fairness. He did capture the
dad first, and then she traded herself, so maybe he
would have fallen in love. Dad would have fallen in love,
(05:29):
and then she didn't really marry him until he got
hot again. Has the same She said she loved him
before he was hot. Yeah, well she knew he had
money at a castle. It was pretty woman like that.
I don't know Andy keeps his toys in a box
and takes them out when he wants to. They fall
in love with Andy. Yeah, same thing, dark thing. It's
(05:51):
so it made me think, like, what other A lot
of times it's children's stories or fairy tales. What other
movies or stories have we thought of our whole if
as being these beautiful things, and then it turns out
they're just messed up? Is also Stockholm and fucked up? Yeah?
Actually thinking about it, my parents are Stockholm syndrome. I
had no choice but to stay with them. Think about it.
(06:14):
The better parents out there, I don't know you fell
in love with them, fell in love with them. I
call them all the time, give them presents. That's really unhealthy.
By the way, does everyone know where the term Stockholm
syndrome came from? Sweden? No, there was a ship called
the Stockholm that was hijacked and people on the ship
started feeling things towards the captors Stockholm. Uss Stockholm. You
(06:34):
can look that up to make sure I'm not making
that ship up. That's such an unhealthy relationship. It's totally
it's really unhealthy. Speaking of what Bethan was saying, like
the messed up things like I just learned this little
piggy went to the market. Doesn't mean what was I saying? Okay,
so you know the little thing this do you on
your tote is your parents would do it like this
(06:55):
little piggy head roast beef. This will be ad one,
this will be you went to market? Right that Garrett
used to think back in the day that the piggy
was going to the market to go shopping. That it
does not. The piggy went to market meeting. He got
sold to the market to be Yeah, and why is
the other pig eat roast beef? That seems cruel? And
(07:16):
the one where we we we all the way home
was the lucky one pants to go home. Another famous
instance of Stockholm syndrome is Patty Hurst. If you know
about Petty Hurst? Yeah, well do we ever know the
truth though? And there's a movie that right now on television,
that Patty Hurst story. We don't know what happened, it's crazy,
so look her up to But this um this says
there was a Stockholm bank robbery. Uh in three, a
(07:40):
man who was convicted but on parole took four employees
of a bank hostage during a failed bank robbery. And
Credit Bunking, one of the largest banks in Stockholm, Sweden.
He negotiated the release from prison of his friends to
assist him. They held the hostages captive for six days.
When they were released, none of the hostages would testify
against either captor in court. In said they began raising
(08:00):
money for their captor's defense. Right, So bank, not a ship,
and it was something we're talking about Stockholm syndrome. So
whatever interns outside pointed out that the movie Beauty and
the Beast is creepy and it's ultimately Stockholm syndrome because
he keeps her in a cage and then she falls
in love with them. Did anyone watch the assassination of
Johnny Versacci last night? The Stockholm syndrome was actually one
(08:25):
of the theories of one of the one of the storyline,
the murders in the storyline, it's fascinating. I love it
when you watch UH as as much fiction as that is,
it is historical fiction. When you when you're done watching
your or while you're watching you google you you read
the stories in a very interesting, interesting storyline. Last night
it was very very different than I thought it would be.
(08:47):
But yeah, Stockholm syndrome fascinating if you're looking to fall
into a rabbit hole at work because you gotta kill
time somehow. Um, I would say the assassination of Johnny Verssacci,
the story itself is a good rabbit hole to fall
down down, and Stockholm syndrome is a good rabbit hole
to fall down. You know what, what other storylines going
on right now, which is I don't know if it
if Stockholm syndrome applies. It's the John Paul Getty story
(09:11):
where his grandson was That's a movie that's out now.
It's a movie. And also in FX they're doing they're
doing their own mini series about it with Donald Sutherland
playing j. P. Getty, where his grandson really didn't feel
like he was getting attention he wanted uh, so he
staged a kidnapping so his billionaire grandfather would pay it.
(09:34):
What turns out the kidnapping actually turned to be well,
you know, he was in on it. Then they went
against him and they kept him kidnapped. So it was like, well, no,
it's a story. So it's the opposite Stockholm syndrome. He
was with them, then they turned against him. Wasn't that
the story that he was infamously cheap or famously J P. Getty.
(09:56):
And so when the kidnappers said they wanted to ransom,
he made a our offer, like you wouldn't you just
give him the money? Right? Yeah, He's like, I'm not
going to pay that. I'll give you this much. I
sort of I just sort of changed your topic a
little bit. Sorry. That's a fascinating story though. It's so
interesting to to to learn about these things that actually
happened that maybe we didn't learn about that don't pop up.
(10:17):
But speaking of um, that sort of counter offer thing,
I'm I've fallen into the rabbit hole of Twin Peaks
And there's a there's an episode where someone owes these
thugs a lot of money, and so his wife get
some money, walks up to the guys and she was like,
all right, I know that he owes you this much,
but you are charging him a ridiculous amount of interest,
(10:38):
and so instead you're gonna get this much and then
you're never going to come to our house again. And
then she storms away, like would that ever happen in
real life? That you could just tell off these two
thugs and be like, I'm gonna take care of my
husband and this is what's going to happen, and just contunt,
would you have the guts to do, like do whatever happened?
It's a negotiation. Absolutely, When two people have guns and
you don't, is that a negotiation? Well, yeah, I'm sure
(11:00):
you could. I can't. I wouldn't be able to do that.
Is someone's pointing a gun at me, I'm I'm shipping
my pants and saying you win. Well, that's what probably
what you should do. But if you if if you're
with them long enough, you can kind of get to
know them a little bit and maybe they don't want
to kill you and you can kind of tell and
so maybe we'll look you know, I bet we could
(11:20):
end this now, maybe not in your terms, but what
if we give me discount here, we'll take care of
that and maybe they'll they say, there are things that
you can do if you have if you're in somebody's
cap captivity, captivity to like you have to try and
humanize yourself and you have to try to humanize them
(11:40):
and like get them to talk, get make sure they
know your names. That was in the movie Split. Remember
did you see that movie? The m Night Shamalan movie.
She was doing all of those things. You know, she
was kidnapped and held captive, and she was trying to
make herself seem like a real person to this guy.
Even though I don't want to spoil the movie for you,
but well, have do you guys ever think about that,
(12:01):
like Brodie scary? Have you ever thought what this is?
What I will do if I get taken? Yeah? What
do they do? I don't you know what. I don't
know what I would do. But this all makes a
lot of sense for thought. Let's hope we're never in
this situation. I think I've thought about it a lot.
I've thought about it a ton because it is a
(12:22):
certain amount of reality that there's bad people out there.
And I think because I'm I'm someone who listens to
a lot of true crime. You put yourself in these
people's positions, and some people just shut down, some people fight,
some people get strategic cerebral cerebral Well, I mean, to
be honest, read the news. These things that we thought
were just fictional, fictional and not possible at one time,
(12:44):
they're happening. People who are kidnapped and kept kept down
in the basement for years and years at a time.
It's crazy. I thought about what I would do if
it was a home invasion, Like if I heard somebody
coming in the house, I would yell Mike, Steve, get
the guns quick. That's so part because if I yelled
for my daughters get the machine guns down. Yeah, that's
(13:07):
what I would. They say. You should also, um, if
you're being like mugged, you should yell fire. Yeah, because
people respond to fire. They don't respond to like gun
shots or help. People don't hear help. Yeah there. They
don't want to protect they want to protect themselves, but
if they hear fire, they'll call police. There's so many
strategies you guys. You need to start listening to true
crime strategies. That's awesome. I didn't know that. Why would
(13:31):
people respond to fire before? Because it might affect them? Yeah,
it could affect them. That's selfish, scary, go outside and
screen fire. Look up Kitty Jennev into the podcast. Yeah,
the famous case in New York. Oh yeah, that's sad. Yeah,
very sad. We are all operating with lizard brains, you know,
with like super primal brains where if you're put in danger,
(13:54):
you just go back to survival instincts. And your survival
instinct is to protect yourself. Fire your fire, but don't
yell it like in a room full of people. It's
why carlms don't work, because what happens is the car
thieves will set off an alarm, not do anything, just wait,
see that nobody responds, and then they'll break into your
car because they know no one's gonna respond. Because when
you because I've seen I knew people, where did you
(14:15):
get that cut on your fence? Hello? But people who
steal cars know that when you hear a car long,
what do you think do you run to the window
to see what's going on? You go stupid Carl looms
going off the run off and the police when you
call the police to tell him that, Because there were
times when I was younger, I would call the police
and say they go, oh yeah, Carl, I'm great, thanks,
thanks for carling. We appreciate it. Yeah, I'm not going
to come investigate because they figured somebody bumped into a car.
(14:35):
I have a friend whose car is so loud he
sets off car alarms, like as we go, he had
the mufflers gone, so we'll drive through a parking garage
and as he goes, just carl arm, Carlarm, car alarm,
car alarm, easy to get that check, sometimes scary a
car Loan. We have a fresh after Elvis on Facebook.
