So, the lead detective on this case really hits the streets hard to canvas. And just a quick aside, because I can't
00:00:06
not tell you this, and it kind of has nothing to do with the case except like I mean it kind of does. Like the lead
00:00:12
detective's name is Loser Lane. That No, that can't be his real name. Dude, not only is it his real name, like we I mean
00:00:21
I obviously have like 45 follow-up questions. We found out Loser has an older brother. Do you even want to guess
00:00:27
what his older brother's name is? I don't even know what kind of person names their child loser. I can't even
00:00:33
begin to guess. His brother's name is Winner. No, I don't know if this was like a social experiment or what, but
00:00:40
according to an article in the Chicago Tribune, their dad let their sister pick Loser's name and that's what she chose
00:00:47
and then they actually like went with it. And what I think is so ironic and why I like say this is this is a social
00:00:53
experiment is that Loser was this great student. He was this athlete who went on
00:00:58
to become a respected NYPD investigator. His name, while Winner became this small-time crook and was arrested dozens
00:01:04
of times. And I could literally talk about this all day long. Yeah, I'm now obsessed with this. We have to get back
00:01:09
to this
