00:01:58
The mini-sode. Hi, here it is. Here it is. Small, in a container, delivered to your ears.
00:02:05
Do you want to go first? Sure. So this is coming out April 28th. So important day for you.
00:02:12
Well, the month of April is actually an important memorial, which I did not remember.
00:02:19
And maybe you will. The subject line of this email is Oklahoma City bombing 30th anniversary.
00:02:25
So it says, Dear Karen of Georgia, my hometown was the victim of the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, the Oklahoma City bombing.
00:02:34
I've been listening to the podcast for years, but never written in. It's the 30th anniversary of the bombing this April.
00:02:41
So I thought this would be the time to write in and remember those who were lost or affected by this tragic event.
00:02:47
On April 19th, 1995, the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed. This resulted in the deaths of 168 people, including 19 children, and over 600 were injured.
00:03:00
The building housed agencies like ATF, U.S. Secret Service, and U.S. Military Recruiting, a credit union, and many others, as well as a daycare.
00:03:09
The daycare of like all the workers there. Yeah. That was kind of the lead in all the stories that like, yeah, so devastating.
00:03:18
Okay, we're back in the email. It says this attack was executed by Timothy McVeigh, an army veteran who believed the government was oppressive and infringing on Americans rights to possess guns.
00:03:28
It is also believed that the ATF raid on Waco, Texas furthered his extremist political views and was the reason April 19th was the date chosen for the bombing.
00:03:37
He was arrested just 90 minutes after the bombing during a routine traffic stop.
00:03:43
And at that time, police had no idea he had anything to do with the bombing. While still in custody, it was discovered that he was involved.
00:03:50
McVeigh was executed by lethal injection on June 11, 2001. Terry Nichols, his main co-conspirator, is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole.
00:04:00
I have many friends whose families were affected as I was born just a year after the incident.
00:04:06
and any Oklahoman you talk to will likely have a story. I have two personal connections through my
00:04:12
mom. She worked for Pat Ryan for many years, the former U.S. attorney in the prosecution and
00:04:17
conviction of McVeigh. She has also worked for an attorney for 25 plus years whose son was one of
00:04:22
the survivors of the daycare in the bombing. I realize the story of this magnitude needs more
00:04:28
time, and I wish we could have read about some of the victims. But you can read about each victim
00:04:33
on the Memorial Museum website, which is memorialmuseum.com. This is my hometown, and I hope you think of Oklahoma on April 19th
00:04:43
and come visit us in our memorial someday. SSDGM K. Wow. Yeah, we've never covered it because it's just so horrific.
00:04:53
We've never covered it because, to me, when we first started this podcast, it's like talking about serial killers.
00:05:00
Right. But something like that is so outside of what we even knew to talk about.
00:05:07
Right. We wouldn't be able to tell the story with what it deserves. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's change pace.
00:05:15
Okay. My first one is called Classic Hometown from My Grandparents, and it's definitely
00:05:20
a classic. Okay. It says, Hello, besties and beasties. My dad and uncle and I were hanging out with my grandparents in a hotel we were all staying at,
00:05:30
And they were all reminiscing about small town life in the 80s. My Aunt Cindy's high school graduation came up, which was memorable because a drunk guy got on stage, yelled multiple profanities and mooned everyone.
00:05:42
Remember when mooning was popular? It was a really big deal to pull down your pants and show people your ass.
00:05:47
It was a statement. The height of comedy. The drunk guy then attempted to escape through the audience only to be tackled by the vice principal who immediately punched the drunk guy in the face multiple times Oh no Man that guy was crazy said my dad referring to his vice principal If he wanted to punish us he made us eat lunch with him
00:06:08
It worked because nobody wanted to be around him. He was so crazy, just really intense.
00:06:13
That's when my grandma decided to defend him by saying he was a good vice principal.
00:06:18
Killed a guy, but I loved him. What? What? After I got over the absurdity of that statement, I insisted that she tell me everything.
00:06:26
Apparently, she liked him because he was really nice to the parent volunteers, like the time he cleaned up after a school dance by himself so my grandma could attend church on
00:06:35
Sunday. Both my grandparents liked that he ran a tight ship and didn't suffer any, quote, idiots
00:06:41
messing with his MO. And this says, I think this speaks to how type A my dad's side of the family
00:06:47
is. A couple years after my Aunt Cindy's wild graduation, their beloved vice principal got
00:06:52
promoted to become the principal of a different high school where he clashed with the bureaucracy
00:06:57
of the school district. One day he walked out of a meeting with the superintendent and calmly told
00:07:02
the secretaries to call the police because he had just shot the superintendent. What?
00:07:07
My grandparents said he did it because he, quote, couldn't handle working with idiots.
00:07:12
and quote the stress drove him crazy oh no i googled his name later and my dad's old vice
00:07:18
principal is still in prison during his incarceration he got multiple theology degrees
00:07:23
and married one of the teachers from the school he'd been principal of i have no idea if they
00:07:29
started dating before or after he became a murderer either way i'm sure it's a wild story
00:07:33
anyway i should get back to work now maybe later i'll resend the time my sister kind of lived
00:07:39
through the plot of While You Were Sleeping. Oh, no. Stay sexy and don't shoot your boss,
00:07:46
even if he's an idiot. CJ, she, her. Oh, my God, CJ, you said While You Were Sleeping,
00:07:51
which is the Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman movie from Christmastime. I was thinking of
00:07:55
the Julia Roberts movie with the abusive husband where she has to escape. Oh, my God, Sleeping With the Enemy.
00:08:00
Sleeping With the Enemy. That's the first thing I thought of. I fucking love that movie. But While You Were Sleeping, someone's in a coma,
00:08:06
falls in love with a brother, I think, right? Yes, it's like Sandra Bullock sees Peter Gallagher.
00:08:10
He's super hot. She's like, I love that guy. He drops on the subway platform where the L train platform where she works.
00:08:17
Yeah, she goes to the hospital to make sure he's okay. And the family assumes she's the girlfriend.
00:08:21
So she just plays along with it. And she loves the family so much. But then slowly but surely, she's like, I actually give it away.
00:08:28
But it's just she loves Bill Pullman. Guys, you got to watch it. It is a Sandra Bullock.
00:08:34
She was the love of all of our lives back then. It's a classic. she went from while you were sleeping to fucking practical magic.
00:08:41
It's just like, boom, boom. Oh my God, she was a knit girl. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile,

00:09:54
Three minute read. Damn. Right? And then it just starts. Yes, you read that, right?
00:09:59
I also believe the story would make a great Columbo movie, but I missed the boat on that one.
00:10:04
Five-year listener, first-time writer. Anyways, love you both to bits. And Karen, I just want to say that Mr. Show's Watch Us Have Sex is just about my favorite sketch in the history of comedy.
00:10:14
Bravo. Wow. You should have seen how furious my dad was when he saw that sketch.
00:10:22
You let him watch it? I think we were just watching the episode, and then that one came on.
00:10:27
It wasn't like I was in every sketch. So then I was like, I really wanted them to see me performing.
00:10:31
And he's like, what the hell are you doing down there? And I was like, oh, I didn't think you'd take it literally anyway.
00:10:38
Oh, you're Catholic. Shit. Yes. That's all not allowed. Okay. We're back in the email.
00:10:44
I'll try to keep it brief, but this story has many twists and turns. In 1966, Deanne and Jean, and I'm going to assume the name is pronounced Keitel, K-E-I-D-E-L.
00:10:54
Keitel or Keitel. Sounds right. a newly separated couple with four kids living one block from my current home in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:11:02
Deanna had been at a nearby bar one night with a man she was seeing. They said good night,
00:11:07
and she drove home only to never be seen again. Gene moved back into the family home after her
00:11:12
disappearance and was quickly ruled out as a suspect as he told police how promiscuous she
00:11:17
had become since their separation. And then it just says in all caps, UGG. Unfortunately,
00:11:23
the man she was with at the bar had died of a heart attack the day after Deanne went missing,
00:11:28
so he couldn't be questioned. Suspish. Right? Then it says, unreal, with an exclamation point.
00:11:35
Yeah. Flash forward four months, and Gene had left his kids sleeping at home to go to a nearby
00:11:40
laundromat. A fire broke out in the house, killing two of the four children. Good God.
00:11:46
God. The son Greg escaped through a window while his younger sister Lori was found inside badly
00:11:52
burned but alive one of her sister wait this sounds familiar one of her sisters died on top of her trying to shield her from the flames Oh Jesus And the other sister was found dead in her bed A horrible tragedy The fire was ruled accidental as they found a melted aluminum pot on the stove
00:12:10
Jean rebuilt the house and raised the remaining two children there. Oh, my God. Poor Lori survived only to endure an abusive life at the hands of her father and brother.
00:12:20
Oh, stop. Flash forward 27 years. In 1993, Lori, now in her 30s, went to the Phoenix Police Department to finally report a crime she witnessed as a child, but was too scared of her father to do it sooner.
00:12:35
The night her mother disappeared, she and her sister had witnessed Jean beating Deanne to death.
00:12:40
Then he dragged her out by the pool, and they watched as he dug her grave in the yard.
00:12:45
At only five years old, Lori didn't understand what was happening and thought her mother was asleep.
00:12:50
The next day, Jean poured a concrete slab over the grave. Now in 1993, Lori was able to show the police exactly where they would find her mother's remains.
00:12:59
Oh my God. Right? They used ground penetrating radar to find her skeleton with a nylon wrapped around her neck and 1960s women's clothing.
00:13:10
58-year-old Jean was indicted for murder, spent the remaining 10 years of his life in prison.
00:13:14
We take walks by the murder house and I think of that poor lady and her children every single time.
00:13:21
Stay sexy and take a harder look at the spouse for crying out loud. Yeah. Katie, she, her.
00:13:27
I remember that forensic. This forensic files is so upsetting. Yeah. That last part sounds really familiar with the concrete slab where it's like you don't investigate a concrete slab that's getting put in the backyard.
00:13:36
I guess. I don't know. Guess not. But yeah. Yeah. how brave of the surviving daughter to do that i mean that is fucking incredible and like such a
00:13:48
testament so he probably started the fire too right i mean i think that's what we probably can
00:13:53
assume although it could have been a horrible accident i who knows like but then he had nothing
00:13:58
to do with the heart attack because that is like wild that's almost like good luck for him because
00:14:02
they were like oh it must have been that guy if anyone knows more than the 1993 forensics have
00:14:08
told them to this point. It'd be fascinating. I'm sure we got a lot of Phoenix murderinos,
00:14:14
right? Yeah, they might know. Wow. Good one. Okay, this is called a hot dog and almost certain death.
00:14:20
Hello, Karen, Georgia and all others affiliated. I thought I was gonna say afflicted. I was like,
00:14:25
yeah, you could you could say that you could go with that. Yeah, for sure. I was listening to a
00:14:30
mini episode. I don't know which one but hot dogs were yet again the main subject. Who are we?
00:14:35
we don't know anymore. I started listening to you guys in 2020. And I've always wanted to write in,
00:14:40
but I thought I had no stories. My life is pretty regular. So no surprise there. Well,
00:14:45
listening to one of you tell a story about a hot dog, it finally clicked. I do have a story about
00:14:51
that one time I almost died hot dog in hand. Good scene. Eight year old me at my cousin's house
00:14:58
where my mom was very skeptical of sending me. She had an older set of twins that were always
00:15:03
getting into trouble, specifically my male cousin. Think minor theft and harassment of the
00:15:08
neighborhood children. Oh, no. On this day, because they were both going to be out, my mom
00:15:12
weirdly decided to let me go. So me and my cousin, Alyssa, and her friend all get ready to watch a
00:15:18
movie. And of course, we went to make a snack. The girls got popcorn ready and some honey buns
00:15:23
from the cabinet. I chose a hot dog. What's up? Fast forward, the movie is on, the dog is in bun,
00:15:29
and we are in the living room. One of them, I'm not sure who, gets spooked by the shadowy figure
00:15:35
standing outside the window. Being the youngest, I thought they were just messing with me.
00:15:40
So when they told me to go up to the window and look out, I wasn't scared because I thought for
00:15:44
sure this was a prank. I get my eight-year-old self off the couch, hot dog in hand, and go check
00:15:49
out the front window. It's in that moment I'm staring face to face with a man dressed head to
00:15:55
toe in black with his hood up. He starts yelling something. I turn around to look at them. And just
00:16:00
like in a movie, I scream, run. We all trip over each other and scramble down the hallway to my
00:16:06
cousin's room. One by one, we file underneath the bed like sardines. It's at that moment I realized
00:16:12
I still had the hot dog in my hand. But before I could celebrate, the sound of someone pounding on
00:16:18
the bedroom window from outside filled my ears. We all went silent as we slowly heard the window
00:16:23
slide open and someone propped themselves up. My heart was beating so fast. I remember thinking,
00:16:29
is this thing going to come out of my chest? Next thing you feel is someone fall onto the bed from
00:16:33
the window. I see two feet on the floor and then two hands on the floor. The man looks at my cousin,
00:16:40
screams, and then starts cracking up. It's at that moment that my cousin Alan starts yelling
00:16:46
at Alyssa, freaking out that we didn't let him in the house. Oh my God. It's the bad boy twin
00:16:52
brother cousin he needs to get in it says turns out he had gotten himself into a fight down the
00:16:58
street at the park and ran home to hide from the people then this morning when i was listening to
00:17:03
karen tell a story about a hot dog i realized i have no idea what i did with that hot dog when i
00:17:09
realized it was my cousin and could finally catch my breath it's been under the bed all these years
00:17:15
they have since moved and i wonder if when they did they found the decrepit carcass of what was
00:17:20
my hot dog. Good thing those things don't mold, right? I don't think they can. They shouldn't.
00:17:26
So SSDGM. And if you're breaking into your house, announce yourself so your little sister and
00:17:31
cousins don't fear sudden death. And also keep a tight hold on your hot dog. Love, Kate.
00:17:38
It's so funny to imagine like a little kid screaming like for their life and hiding
00:17:43
while holding a hot dog. Because it's like, was she holding it like eating style where
00:17:48
Yeah. Up to her mouth? Was it sideways? Like, what are we talking about? It like a scared grip works for a hot dog So it not like it out of the question to keep hold of it you know A scared grip is perfect for a hot dog That right Maybe that what it is That why they have it every carnival How do you eat a hot dog with a scared grip It got to be scared whether you camping
00:18:09
whether you're scared someone's just going to take it away from you. You're roller skating at the roller skating rink. No casual grip on a hot dog, please.
00:18:17
First of all, someone could snatch it out of your hand and eat it themselves. or slap it out of your hand,
00:18:23
which is the big thing that my cousins and sister love to do is just if you're casually holding anything,
00:18:29
slap it out of their hand. I hate it, and it's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life at the same time.
00:18:34
It's always funny. I know. I think I've seen your sister do that, literally. I bet you have.
00:18:39
I think I have. You've seen her slap the hot dog out of my hand? Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

hello all exactly right folks i've sent several stories but fingers crossed you'll choose this
00:19:58
as it's a favorite my great grandma grandma marian lived on her own till she was 88 years old
00:20:04
my nana and papa her son and daughter-in-law were always trying to convince her to move in with them
00:20:09
so they could look after her but she always insisted she was just fine on her own
00:20:13
grandma marion lived in a duplex and down the street was a boarding house it was a pretty
00:20:18
quiet neighborhood for the most part one day she was in her kitchen when she heard a noise
00:20:22
she walked into the living room to see the front door open and heard noise coming from her bedroom
00:20:27
she looked inside and saw a man crouched down and trying to unplug the phone from the wall jack
00:20:33
good god that is just like immediate sinister yes this was an older house that had the heating vents
00:20:40
along the wall with beautiful metal scroll work covers you know the type well unfortunately for
00:20:45
this guy grandma marianne was a badass bitch and wasn't about to wait and see what his intentions
00:20:49
were she hurried over grabbed this man by the hair and bashed his face multiple times into that
00:20:55
beautiful scroll work wall vent oh my god because she had the advantage because he was bent down
00:21:02
looking at something else yeah oh she just like fucking charged him oh yes marianne he jumped up
00:21:08
ran out and down the block. When the police showed up, they followed the blood trail to the boarding
00:21:12
house and even right to his room. After this, she finally agreed to move in with Nana and Papa.
00:21:18
My God, my siblings and I were very lucky to have three wonderful grandparents in the same house
00:21:23
offering a safe place for us whenever we needed, which sadly was often. Grandma Marion inspired
00:21:29
our love of reading by reading to us whenever we wanted, even if it was the same book over and over.
00:21:35
when her eyesight got too bad she would have us read to her thank you ladies for being such loving
00:21:41
advocates of mental health and letting us share in your jokes stories and side stories stay sexy
00:21:46
and make sure you get a good grip on the hair rachel oh grandma marion that's so badass because
00:21:53
it's not like she walked in and he was like rifling through her jewelry box unplugging the phone is like premeditation to something else yes it is and she didn't even
00:22:02
fucking scream or think twice. You can apologize later if it turns out it's a misunderstanding,
00:22:08
right? You're in the house. It's too late. That's amazing. Okay, my last one's called
00:22:12
Shitbag Sisters. It says, hello. I recently listened to a minisode where you asked for
00:22:20
telephone stories and I have a bunch about my sister and I from the days before caller ID.
00:22:25
Side note, I was trying to think of the name y'all use for irresponsible slash asshole-ish family members and had already typed shitbag sisters in the subject line before
00:22:34
remembering trash dad slash trash mom, or in this case, trash sisters, was the phrase I was looking
00:22:41
for. Shitbag fits as well, so it stays. It doesn't, it needs to be, like, it's so perfectly
00:22:47
more intense than normal for sisters. Yeah, shitbag sisters. Shitbag sisters. It says,
00:22:52
anyway, on to the stories. Much like many feral children left to their own devices growing up in
00:22:57
late 80s, early 90s, my sister Jenny and I would often pick up the phone and keep ourselves busy
00:23:02
by making prank calls when we were bored. In the days of the telephone book, we would pick people
00:23:07
at random and create chaos with our calls. My God, we totally fucking did this. One of our favorites
00:23:13
was to call a person, tell them we were contacting them because they had recently made a purchase at
00:23:18
Venture, a now defunct Midwest chain of department stores where everyone shopped, and tell them they
00:23:24
had been chosen at random to receive a $50 gift certificate in a customer appreciation drawing.
00:23:29
We even gave them instructions about going to the service desk to pick it up. I can only imagine the
00:23:35
confusion we created in the store. I always hoped one day would be in the store when someone came
00:23:39
to claim their quote prize. Sometimes we would look for the couple's listing in the phone book.
00:23:45
For those who don't know, the white pages were residential listings with name, address, and phone
00:23:49
numbers. Each year, the phone company would have you fill out how you wanted your listing to appear
00:23:54
and couples would sometimes choose to list both the husband and wife's name. For this particular woman,
00:24:00
only called couples. If a man answered, we hung up. If a woman answered, we asked for the man.
00:24:06
If she went to get the man on the phone, we hung up. The exact situation we were looking for was
00:24:10
for the woman answering to take a message. The message was, quote, could you please let him know
00:24:16
that Roxy called and I left my bra in his car yesterday? No. Oh, no. Wait, I sometimes wonder
00:24:25
if we destroyed any marriages, but I'm sure we sounded like kids making prank calls complete
00:24:29
with teen giggling in the background. I hope so. God, we were shitbags. We also found a man named Kermit
00:24:38
who we would call at random, ribbit, and hang up. The phone book, the power of the phone book.
00:24:46
It was like a diary of everyone. You knew everything about people. You could just fuck with them.
00:24:51
Did you ever look up your own name in the phone book as a kid? Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, we're famous.
00:24:56
We were unlisted because my mom worked to the psychiatric hospital. So we couldn't be in, we weren't allowed to be in the phone book.
00:25:03
That makes absolute sense. Okay. Our piece de resistance came when I got a phone in my room at
00:25:07
13. For the record, it was a corded see-through phone. I had this that had multicolor inner
00:25:13
workings. And it says, I know one of you had one. I fucking totally did. I wanted that. My sister got a pink and white phone. That was one of the most gorgeous pieces
00:25:22
of technology I'd ever seen because it was not a normal looking phone. It was kind of like
00:25:26
wide based and it was very stylized. But that was the phone that I would have picked if they let me
00:25:33
get a phone, but they didn't. It was like, Laura got a phone and they were like, wait a second,
00:25:38
no one gets a phone. Yeah, this is a bad idea. No one can handle having a phone because it's
00:25:42
just chaotic. I think I won it at a fucking county fair bingo game, which is the best time of my life.
00:25:50
It was so 80s though That is the 80s It a clear phone that you can see the wires and will make the wires pink and blue and yellow and neon Yes It says I know one of you had them Mine was probably purchased at Venture
00:26:03
I had two windows in my room, one overlooking the backyard and one that had a view into our neighbor's kitchen.
00:26:08
The phone was by the backyard window. So for this prank, one of us would be the watcher and the other the dialer.
00:26:15
We waited until our neighbors, a mom and dad and two kids a little younger than us, would sit down to eat dinner.
00:26:21
The watcher would tell the dialer to call, then watch as someone, usually the dad, got up from the dinner to answer the phone.
00:26:28
You know where this is fucking going. And then the watcher would say, hang up, waiting for the exact moment the dad placed his hand on the handset.
00:26:35
Now! The family would sit back down and resume eating. Oh, my God. Since the dialer didn't get to see into the kitchen, of course, we had to switch roles and repeat the prank.
00:26:47
We did this prank on and off for years. Oh, my fucking God. Insane. So total shitbag.
00:26:55
This is shitbag behavior. This is true shitbag behavior. These are the kinds of stories I think of when I hear people complain about kids today
00:27:01
wasting time on their phones and gaming systems saying things like, we didn't have these electronics growing up.
00:27:06
We made our own fun and found ways to entertain ourselves. We sure did. Shitbag entertainment that may have led to retail chaos, divorce, rivets, and cold dinners.
00:27:16
sigh what was is wrong with us everything we were abandoned why wouldn't they pay attention to us
00:27:25
welcome stay sexy and don't even bother trying to answer the phone at dinner jesse she her and
00:27:31
thank you jesse because now we need shitbag entertainment stories please shitbag entertainment
00:27:36
like what did you do that now you're like you would fucking have throttled yourself for yes
00:27:40
to pass the time for example andy withington my next door neighbor and i filling our mom's
00:27:45
old purses with shit and putting them in the middle of the road and waiting for a car to drive by.
00:27:49
Literal shit? Literal cow shit Go out into a field fill a normal looking purse I would be like mom do you want this purse and she like no you can have it oh i was thinking it was like purses they were currently using with all their stuff in it no no no no it would be an old purse you get you get
00:28:04
your mom to give you an old purse yeah go into the field put a bunch of cow shit like sometimes
00:28:10
like dried up big old cow pies yeah fill it up put it in the center of our street eastman lane
00:28:16
that no one ever went down. It literally was a car every two hours. And then we would climb a tree
00:28:22
and wait. Usually what would happen is the car would stop. They'd pick up the purse. They'd drive
00:28:27
about 50 feet and then slam on the brakes and swear. And sometimes they would reverse and go,
00:28:33
where the hell are you? Whatever. Oh my God. Hilarious. The whole point was just for them to
00:28:37
stop and pick it up. Exactly. That's amazing. And just be near some shit. And actually,
00:28:42
now that I'm giving this example, it is a literal example of shitbag behavior. It is. Oh my God. It is shitbag, shitbag behavior. It's shitbag, shitbag behavior.
