Listener note, we encountered some audio issues on this episode. Never fear. We'll be back soon with the beautiful sound quality you have come to expect from us.
00:01:50
Hello. And welcome. to my favorite murder, the mini-sode. This time I pressed record. What a great advantage we have
00:02:02
on this episode where Georgia is actually going to be a part of it. I think it's a great idea.
00:02:08
Let's keep it like that. I like it. Let's keep it and then have you read your email.
00:02:13
Okay. This one's called Made Up Dad Stories. It just starts, hey-o. You recently asked for
00:02:21
made up stories by parents to make their kids behave, which I am so proud of us for doing.
00:02:25
I mean, genius. And voila. Antiquing was a family hobby, but in order to keep his three young kids' excited
00:02:32
little hands from grabbing and potentially breaking everything, my dad used to tell us
00:02:37
we actually had a fourth sibling, a brother none of us knew, but he was the problem child.
00:02:42
He'd touch everything in stores and run around wild. So one day his hands were cut off and he
00:02:48
was sent in a boat down the river and never seen again it's still funny i'm sorry it's still funny
00:02:57
the second time it's so fucked up it's so fucked up i'm like where is that dad from i don't know
00:03:06
what the fuck he told us that this was just what happens when kids misbehave in stores it sounds
00:03:12
like a fucking, this sounds like a plot line to Game of Thrones. Yes. Thank you. Jesus.
00:03:19
I can vividly remember thinking how crazy it was that I actually had another brother.
00:03:26
Anyways, as you can imagine, we grew up to be three very well-mannered children and through
00:03:31
checking with other family members, learn that there was no other brother. Oh, phew.
00:03:36
Still enjoy antiquing and can't wait to pull that on a future child of mine one day. Don't do it.
00:03:42
Don't do it. Don't do it. And then it says, P.S. He also used to tell us on a day where my mom was out present shopping for Christmas that my mom had gone to the moon.
00:03:50
And that was why she was going to be gone for a while. I'd cry and ask why she didn't say goodbye and hope she had a safe journey.
00:03:58
Luckily, she always came home. From the moon. From the moon. That one is unnecessary.
00:04:05
That one is teaching no one anything. No, we need to have a conversation with this dad before he becomes a grandpa and gets even worse.
00:04:12
I wonder if that dad was thinking these children are too soft and they need to get, you know, they need to get toughened up a little bit.
00:04:20
So we're going to I'm going to tell him some fucked up stories, have them have your action.
00:04:24
The mom walks in and then we just do that enough time so that by the time they get to like high school, no one can touch them.
00:04:31
I mean, they're three well behaved kids. That's a hard thing to do. I'd imagine.
00:04:35
Yeah, you better be when you're fearing for your limbs. I mean, I know I've told you the story probably five times over the years, but it's my favorite story about my sister's friend, Adrienne, and her three kids, who she would just say, the man's coming.
00:04:49
And she would act scared, and then the kids would stop doing anything they were doing.
00:04:53
Oh, my God. The man's coming, or the man can see you. Who's the man? Right. And, like, it's the funniest part to me is that Adrienne is the most, I am not a theater person in any way.
00:05:05
But when she, like Laura told me and then Adrian reenacted it for me and I was like, holy shit, that's the creepiest thing of all time.
00:05:13
The man's coming. Oh my God. The man can see. I'm going to try that with my nephews.
00:05:16
Like she was worried too. All right. Let's take a little left turn. Okay, please.
00:05:24
The subject line of this email is loose uncut gems. That's the rated X version of uncut gems.
00:05:29
Okay. My people. I had to write in after listening to Karen tell the story of the Antwerp Diamond Heist.
00:05:35
Karen's description of these lads as both brilliant thieves and big dopes was very entertaining
00:05:40
and made me reminisce about my time in the diamond industry back in the early 2000s.
00:05:46
Picture a young Irish Catholic girl from the Midwest who had just moved to New York
00:05:50
paying just one month's rent in a shitty apartment in the Upper West Side. I found a job in the nick of time through one of my jam band friends.
00:05:59
I met a woman who was a fourth-generation jeweler who needed an assistant. She asked me what I knew about diamonds, to which I replied, they are pretty.
00:06:10
For some unknown reason, she hired me. She was more Janis Joplin than high-end jeweler.
00:06:15
She wore long skirts, carried a backpack, and was a total stoner. We worked together in a grubby building full of seedy humans, handshake deals, and under-the-table cash operations.
00:06:25
Karen's story and the description of the vault security in Antwerp made me laugh to myself.
00:06:30
Let's just say my boss was very loose with how she operated both the diamonds and all that cash that she made from her private sales.
00:06:38
Her desk drawer was full of job envelopes pens paper clips and scattered loose diamonds Jesus Yes just diamonds flying around in her desk drawer She also stuffed her backpack full of cash and would walk around 47th Street
00:06:54
with the bag open and cash strewn all over inside. My internal OCD was off the charts most days,
00:07:00
as I wondered how a person could be so cavalier with thousands of dollars worth of diamonds and actual cash.
00:07:07
I'd be running behind her, zipping her backpack. I've had so many people do that where it's like the strap is off your purse and your shit is
00:07:17
hanging on and be like oh sorry but I don't have diamonds in my purse you don't have diamonds I
00:07:22
just have really good lipstick I'd be running behind her zipping her backpack and stuffing
00:07:27
money back into it it was very fly by the seat of your pants back then anyway the contrast between
00:07:33
Antwerp's vault and my experience with my old friend on 47th street made me chuckle you guys
00:07:38
are the best Kate ah ah just jobs you don't realize like illegal shit's going on when you're
00:07:45
in your 20s and you're young and it's like right the best best also it's like if she was a fourth
00:07:51
generation jeweler then she grew up diamonds were like coasters in my house right it's just like
00:07:57
right oh yeah those sure means to an end yeah do you care that's cool While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent.
00:08:10
The future soccer stars who are already turning heads at age 14. Making plays that end up on everyone's feed, scoring from angles that don't make sense, rewriting record books that barely had time to gather dust.
00:08:21
Because Next doesn't wait for an invitation, and Hyundai doesn't either. Hyundai has always moved the future within reach.
00:08:26
Hyundai did it by making advanced safety standard on every vehicle. Hyundai did it by engineering EVs with ultra fast charging capability.
00:08:34
And Hyundai continues doing it every day. From robotics that change how people live to young athletes changing the game,
00:08:40
the future isn't some far off concept. It's already here. Next starts now. Hyundai, an official partner of FIFA.

00:09:43
Okay. This one's called Architects Listen to Murder Podcasts. Minisode 395 follow-up just
00:09:49
starts. Listen to the minisode related to the trapped in the bathroom story. That's the one
00:09:54
where the kid was trapped in the bathroom and the mom took an axe and knocked the whole
00:09:57
door down. On my way home from a construction site visit, this memory rushed over me so strongly
00:10:04
that I'm writing it down immediately. I was young, maybe 10 or 11, when I slammed my bedroom door so
00:10:09
hard that it failed to open again. Trapped, I knocked and screamed as loud as I could to alert
00:10:14
my mom, who was solidly into her Days of Our Lives episode just downstairs below. When it hit a
00:10:20
commercial break, she trekked up the stairs to see what the matter was. When she tried and failed to
00:10:26
open the door, yelling at me to make sure it was unlocked, we had no locks, or to stop pulling on
00:10:31
the handle when I'm trying to pull on it, she trekked back downstairs to call my dad. She came
00:10:36
up about three minutes later and said, you'll have to wait till your father gets home four hours from
00:10:41
now. No. The wait seemed to be forever made worse by being able to hear my siblings play out in our
00:10:48
backyard on a perfect summer afternoon. My dad got home, came up the stairs and removed the pins
00:10:55
from the door hinges and lifted the door panel off the frame. In under 60 seconds, I was free.
00:11:00
My dad hollered at my mom. I walked you through how to do this on the phone, Rosa. Why didn't you?
00:11:06
She replied to teach her a lesson about not slamming doors in the house. That's right.
00:11:11
I guess some moms are willing to tear down a door with an ax and some will let you rot away
00:11:16
in a bedroom until you've learned your lesson. Oh, they were in their bedroom. For some reason,
00:11:20
I mixed it up and thought they were in a bathroom. No, we're in a bedroom. Oh, you're fucking fine in your bedroom. I know, right? Side note, I am an architect who now,
00:11:30
at every opportunity I get, lay outdoors to have their hinges on the outside to be readily
00:11:34
accessible to parents needing to bust out their locked-in children and hopefully avoid having to
00:11:40
use axes to break them free. Yeah. Thanks for the laughs, Heather. Heather I'm sorry I judged you I didn't realize you were an architect I didn't bring it all
00:11:48
together but I do think that's funny where because like when you're 11 that is the age
00:11:52
where you're like slam slam we were just talking about that it's so sad you can't slam anything
00:12:01
anymore you can't hang up you can't you know yeah everything's very you have to figure something
00:12:07
you have to attack people online that's better that's the better version that's the new slamming
00:12:11
I found out. Okay, the subject line of this email is strange tales from a Victorian house.
00:12:18
Dear MFM, thank you for your hilarious and informative podcast. I often sprinkle in your stories into my art history lectures.
00:12:26
That means we're teachers. I mean, and you can quote me on that. Now my story. When I was a broke student in the mid-2000s,
00:12:36
I rented the attic room in an old Victorian red brick house in North Dublin, Ireland.
00:12:41
Come on. Right? The house had many original features, including beautiful stained glass, stucco ceilings, and large original sash windows.
00:12:51
It also had creaky floorboards, drafts that would whistle like the Banshee on a stormy night, and very unreliable electrical wiring.
00:13:00
But as I mentioned, I was dirt poor, putting myself through post-grad studies on very little, and the room was cheap.
00:13:07
Another way of saving a few quid was to buy secondhand books. I had a stack on the floor next to my bed on days when I couldn't face the world or simply didn't have the money for bus fare
00:13:16
I would pick up a random book and hide in my attic room until I finished my restorative escape into a fictional world
00:13:23
Hmm dream I think when we young we don understand that we are living the fucking dream Is it raining too Because if it raining like stop it now Do you have a cup of delicious tea
00:13:36
Tea? Is there a cat? I'd love that there's a cat. Come on, a little jazz in the background.
00:13:41
On one particularly stressful, poverty-stricken occasion, the book I was reading was called
00:13:46
Possession by A.S. Byatt. It tells the story of a post-grad student who finds important letters in a book.
00:13:53
As I got closer to the end, I folded the back cover and noticed that my book held a surprise too.
00:13:59
Four crisp $50 pound notes fell out. And by a mad coincidence, it just so happened that it was the exact amount I owed my landlady and the main cause of that duvet day of avoidance.
00:14:12
Oh my God. So they were hiding in their room because they're like, I'm broke and I can't figure out how to pay the rent.
00:14:20
Yeah. Read a book about a person doing a thing and then you do the thing and then you.
00:14:24
OK. That's beautiful. I couldn't remember where I bought the book, so I couldn't return it.
00:14:29
I still wonder to this day if a past owner left the money there by accident or it was deliberate given the plot of the book.
00:14:36
Either way, it got me out of a tight spot. I love this so much. Other strange things happened when I lived there, including some possible ghost sightings.
00:14:45
But I'm skeptical of my own memory due to my student day's drinking habits. Anyway, the scariest thing that happened had nothing to do with ghosts.
00:14:53
One night I woke up panicking as hands were on my throat. As I struggled, I quickly realized they were my hands.
00:15:01
It was a sort of sleep paralysis and it took me a few seconds to move them. Terrifying.
00:15:07
Stay sexy and don't strangle yourself in your sleep. Jess, she, her. Wow, that's so sweet.
00:15:14
Jess was really going through it up in that attic room. Yeah, I love that. Yeah.
00:15:19
I mean, not that strangling part. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent.
00:15:29

00:17:31
Care. salutations from the midwest long-time listener first-time writer here i am sure that you have
00:17:38
asked for trash ant stories before and boy do i have one my aunt jody was my mom's older sister
00:17:45
and sort of the black sheep of the family you might say she moved to nashville from her small
00:17:49
nebraska hometown after college was married to a convicted felon for a short time and never looked
00:17:55
back hell yeah she developed quite the southern accent smoked virginia slims drank rum and diet
00:18:01
Cokes and refer to us all as Yankees whenever she visited and once inadvertently got me drunk
00:18:07
at my grandma's funeral. Oh, that's where that's the place to do it. That's that actually is
00:18:13
appropriate. That's right. It was circa 2001. I'm 14 ish. My Nana had just passed away after a stroke
00:18:20
post-cancer surgery. Aunt Jodi flew home for the funeral. I, being traumatized by my first big loss,
00:18:26
refused to leave Nana's house for a week after she died. In good Midwestern fashion, people brought a bazillion casseroles and frozen meals and
00:18:35
other assortments of food. The night after the funeral, several of my aunt's high school friends came over with
00:18:39
a bottle of Bakari. Yeah. They sat around the table drinking and smoking, telling stories about Nana and their younger
00:18:46
years. It was very entertaining and educational. At one point, my aunt let me have a sip of her cocktail.
00:18:51
One sip turned into two, two into three, and so on. At one point, I think she gave me my own drink.
00:18:59
She's mixing them up for everyone else. You're going to stay here. It's not a big deal.
00:19:03
You're just going to end up throwing it up anyway. I am about two thirds deep into my drink and I started to feel the pukes coming on.
00:19:09
I book it to the bathroom and proceed to pray to the porcelain gods. I hear both of my aunts outside the bathroom door whispering,
00:19:15
Oh my God, is she drunk? How much did you give her? Finally, and Jodi comes in. Oh girl, you must have drank too many Mountain Dews.
00:19:23
I look at her like, what the fuck? And then she said it again with eyebrows raised.
00:19:29
Ah, yes, I agreed. It was definitely the Mountain Dew. I drank water the rest of the evening and
00:19:34
woke up feeling just fine. She was one of the driving forces in me going back to school at 30
00:19:39
to get my nursing degree. I loved her stories about being a badass nurse in a large county jail
00:19:44
in Tennessee where the inmates would lovingly call her Miss Jodel. Aunt Jodi passed away at the height
00:19:51
of COVID from end stage heart failure. I miss her every day. Some days I just want to hear her voice and I'll play the last voicemail she left me and
00:19:59
smile. She was a spitfire and was always willing to answer my phone calls that usually consisted
00:20:04
of talking shit about her sister, AKA my mother, who I love dearly, by the way. Anywho thanks for reading Stay sexy and don let your little niece drink too much quote Mountain Dew Whitney It Whitney spelled W
00:20:23
And then it's pronounced Whitney. And then it says the eye throws people off. Yeah.
00:20:28
I mean, tell me about it. The eye throws people off. In Georgia? Me? No. I, me. I as in me.
00:20:34
Just as a person, you throw people off. That almost made me cry. Aunt Jodi is a very real person in my mind now, and I love that fucking story.
00:20:44
I love that she smoked Virginia Slims. I love that she was a badass nurse. Like, hell yes.
00:20:50
Yeah, I'm going to be like her one day. Yeah. Wait, she was giving her Bacardi? Was that the—was it rum?
00:20:56
I think Bacardi is like rum and Cokes. Gross. Like Diet Cokes. Ew. I can taste it now.
00:21:02
As a big teen drunk barfer, you don't go anywhere near rum. There's no reason to go anywhere near rum.
00:21:09
Even as an adult, I don't fucking touch rum. That's just bad night. It's just sugary.
00:21:16
And also, it's so easy to drink. It's so delicious and such a good... It mixes so easily.
00:21:21
You're ruined. Mistakes. Yeah. Okay, here's my last one. I'm not going to read the subject line.
00:21:30
It says, Hi, murder besties. So much love and gratitude for your both. But I'm a Karen, so let's get right to the story.
00:21:36
that makes me think of like i saw somebody in public recently who was like i am really sorry
00:21:42
they literally were crouching over and whispering like i was going to hit them in the face and i was
00:21:47
like this is the best thing i've ever done it just seemed like the most irascible like
00:21:52
unapproachable person i live in the yukon in canada oh the yukon holy shit damn and this
00:21:59
hometown is a legend in fact i had to look it up to see if it was true in the early 80s during the
00:22:04
breakfast rush at a hotel cafe right across from the police station, a man was murdered in front
00:22:09
of all the staff and patrons. Legend has it, the customer sent back his eggs because they weren't
00:22:16
cooked to his liking. The cook stormed out of the kitchen and stabbed him in the chest with a large
00:22:21
kitchen knife more than once. And the victim died of these injuries. And the murderer later turned
00:22:27
himself in and was charged with second degree murder. Holy shit. I mean, horrifying.
00:22:34
yeah just good lord okay yeah also today on the minisode karen jokingly asked for
00:22:41
fucking in public stories do you remember that i don't remember i didn't think i worked blue like
00:22:48
that oh remember because they were having sex on the apartment the roof of the apartment in new
00:22:53
york and the cops that's right that's right i've thought about that story multiple times because
00:22:59
the woman tells us she's a woman of color yeah she's like it was really embarrassing but also
00:23:04
I'm lucky they didn't kill me where I'm like, Jesus fucking Christ. I know. Jesus.
00:23:08
Okay. About 28 years ago, when we were young and dumb, my now husband and I took a four by
00:23:16
