Speaker 2 (00:04):
Dan? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
All right? So Mary Mary and her husband run a
party company, and he is hired to dress up as
Santa this time of year. Right, So she's always telling him, Look,
you gotta watch your mouth around the kids, because one
day your mouth is going to get you in trouble.
So I'm calling as a very upset customer from a
party that he was hired. Okay, see what happens to
(00:27):
today's Hello, Yes, Hi, I'm looking for seller.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Can help you?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yes, Hi, my name is Sudden, and you guys sent
over one of Santa's helpers to my house the other day.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Oh okay, how can I help you? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
My seven year old son is crying because he thinks
Santa Claus hates him because of the guy you sent
over as Santa's helper.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
An, you think I'm sorry? What?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah? The guy that you sent over here for the
party told my kid and I quote, pull the candy
cane out of your butt.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, and now my son is crying. He says, Santa
hates me. I'm not going to get any presents for Christmas.
He is so upset he won't even come out of
his room. And I have you guys to thank for this.
I hired you to do a job and to make
the kids happy, and now my son is miserable.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
No, I am, I am, I am, I'm so sorry.
What can I do for you to make everything right
for you?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Well, I spent one hundred and fifty dollars on having
this Santa's helper there, so I want that back, and
then on top of it, you should compensate me for
other things, so another hundred and fifty dollars, so at
least three hundred dollars I see, come in my way.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Okay, okay, let me welaus wait.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I want a letter to my son from Santa saying
that he doesn't hate him and that he's going to
get presents on Chris.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Okay, if obviously we can do that as well. Let
me take care of this and then I will call you.
I will call you right back.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Fine, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
She is going to kill me, all right, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Okay, so now we're going to conference her in and
it's all you. I'm not here anymore, okay, Okay, how
do you worked last week?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yes? Yes, yeah, did anything out of the ordinary happen. No,
I actually went really really smoothly.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, what about this.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Maybe there was a kid that you told him to
take a candy cane out of his butt? Oh yeah,
you know I did say that to a kid. One
kid you see crying. He was crying. He wouldn't get
over it, your sack claws. He was crying because he
ran out of Reese's pieces that we were handing out
to all his friends that he wanted one. So I said,
height pull the candy cane out of your butt and
get over it, okay, and he did. He did, he
(02:31):
stopped crying, And so I don't see what's the problem.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
This is what the problem is.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Now he goes home, he tells his mom, this is
what Santa Claus said to me, And he now thinks
that Santa Claus hates him, that he's not going to
get any presents. And you know what, I'm trying to
teach the kid a lesson and he can't understand that. Okay,
and he's seven. Can we be clear on the fact
that he's seven. He's a kid. Yeah, and you know what,
he's got to learn sometime that he can't get away
with everything, And what better chance for me to teach
(02:57):
that kid a lession? Your telling them well chas she
needs to pull the candy cane out of her butt.
If I can provide a life lesson to one kid
who now understands a life lesson.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
If you, I mean, if you don't have enough candy
in the bag, tell me to spend more candy in
the bag.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know I'll do it. I mean, it's okay, this kid, Brad.
I know they're all spoiled. Their parents are spending ridiculous
money to have you there in playing Santa, So of
course they're spoiled. It's still your job to make them happy.
Are you stupid? Are you stupid?
Speaker 1 (03:29):

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.
