00:00:39
selling a persona of confidence and care, patients trusted him. He wore cowboy boots in the operating room

and became sought after by patients. He promised to heal them. Instead, he left a trail of broken bodies.

00:01:52
I mean, we've done this so many times. Is that possible? It's pretty wild. And listen, we couldn't have done it without you, literally, because we're literally reading you
00:02:03

00:02:16
the horrifying crime stories that they grew up with or near, but now at this point,
00:02:22
kind of anything. Yeah. We're just talking about stuff. It's become really special and a really cool place for like stories. So thank you guys for
00:02:29
enjoying that. And thank you for contributing or just enjoying. Here's number 400. You want to go first?
00:02:36
Sure. The subject line is a hard to beat vacation disaster story, 2.5 to three minute read.
00:02:44
Perfect. And then it just says to the gorgeous and wonderful MFM team. I've been listening to
00:02:49
your lovely voices since 2018. And I'm forever grateful for this podcast. Y'all have been keeping me company during the 12-hour days I spent working as a geologist at a structural engineering firm and the countless hours I've spent mowing my 27 acres of land.
00:03:05
Holy shit. Can I have some of what you take every morning? Because, Jesus. This person loves land.
00:03:14
But enough about me. Let's get to the juicy stuff. In Minnesota 354, it's crazy, y'all asked for vacation disaster stories.
00:03:22
I immediately procrastinated by writing this email and letting it sit on my desktop for weeks.
00:03:28
But now that I have nothing to do until the fire academy starts, I figured the time is now.
00:03:33
I grew up in southern New Jersey and was extremely fortunate enough to be able to go on vacations with my parents to the Caribbean almost every summer when I was a kid.
00:03:42
While the Caribbean in the summer might not seem strange, it should raise red flags for the people in the South who know full well that Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1st to November 30th.
00:03:54
No. Yeah, I didn't know that. So if you guessed that I've experienced a storm on vacation, let alone three Category 5 hurricanes, you'd be correct.
00:04:05
Bonus points for guessing that one of those storms was Hurricane Katrina. Holy shit.
00:04:10
And the super bonus? Well, that goes to the ones who may have guessed, I was on a cruise ship.
00:04:17
Oh my God. A lot of guessing. Who out there guessed all those right? Congrats. Someone got it. Someone got it.
00:04:24
And then it says, yes, you read that correctly. I was on a fucking cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico with Hurricane Katrina.
00:04:30
Of course, this was almost 20 years ago, but I vividly remember a few things. Number one, my dad excitedly told us to get up to see the pool water sloshing to the deck above it when he ran back to our room to get the video camera.
00:04:43
When we returned with him, they'd already drained the pool. Number two, because the ship was rocking so hard, they had to pull most of the shade shut in the dining room to help the unfortunate souls with seasickness.
00:04:55
oh however if you were daring enough you could see the waves and the water level all the way up to
00:05:02
the fifth deck of the ship now i'm not a shipbuilder but if we use the average height of
00:05:07
a building story that's about 50 feet number three i was obsessed with a kid's version of
00:05:13
chex mix that was in a green bag and had captain crunch in it i haven't found it since then and i
00:05:20
wistfully think about it from time to time. They make it special for that cruise line.
00:05:26
I love it. But that idea that we're in the middle of a hurricane story and it's like,
00:05:31
I also loved this Chex Mix so much. There was this snack. And then it says, was I terrified?
00:05:37
Yes. Do I believe that my life since then has been a simulation and that my body has been at
00:05:42
the bottom of the Gulf since 2005? Of course. I love it. Did I have the best sleep of my life
00:05:48
that night? You're damn right. Wow. Because the whole boat was rocking them to sleep. Thank you

Hell yeah, Kelsey. Nice one, Kelsey. Oh my God. That was great. Let's do forgotten snacks of our childhoods that like, or like,
00:06:14
not even that you know existed, but like, like I know for a very short time, there were wasabi flavored Funyuns and they don't exist anymore. It's been over a decade,
00:06:24
but I can't stop thinking about them. Yeah, that's a good one. There was a lot of candy that we used
00:06:29
to get that was like the late 70s, early 80s, like the super big, they were like sweet tarts that were
00:06:38
huge. Oh, yeah. And they would, I think they came three or four in a pack and like all different
00:06:42
flavors and you would pick the flavors were random. So you would be like, that one has two grapes and
00:06:48
no lemon. I'm not getting that. You'd be standing there trying to get it. They don't make those
00:06:52
anymore. What were they called? Do you remember? I'm going to text my sister and see if by the end
00:06:56
of this episode, she can give us that answer because she might know. A special 400th episode
00:07:01
text from your sister. Laura. The only way my sister would participate in this podcast
00:07:07
is through text. So let's see. Okay. My first one's called Third Time's a Charm,
00:07:14
Past Live Story. Hello, Karen in Georgia, longtime listener, multiple time writer,
00:07:19
inner and brand new fan cult number. Thank you. Thank you. You are all amazing and you know it,
00:07:24
so let's get into it. You asked for past life stories. Well, here is mine. When I was 15,
00:07:30
my mom took me to see a psychic who specialized in past life readings. She told me a few stories,
00:07:35
but two of them stuck with me the most. Of all the stories, she told me I was a female merchant
00:07:40
living in, you guessed it, Atlantis. As fascinating as it sounded to my 15-year-old mind, the story
00:07:47
took a dark turn quickly. She proceeded to tell me I died after being brutally raped and beaten
00:07:53
in front of my son, who happens to be my brother in real, in this life. Who the fuck tells a teenager that?
00:08:02
No, that's not. No. Right? And it's your brother. What? No. Hi. No. I know. In the other story,
00:08:10
she proclaimed I was a male Asian fisherman with the ability to communicate with fish.
00:08:14
She claimed she had seen me teaching my son had asked the fish for permission to be caught and thank them for their sacrifice.
00:08:21
Isn't that a children's book? Maybe. Well, maybe. At least that sounds just a slightly lighter and more fanciful, something to think about
00:08:30
as opposed to like... Yeah. Yeah. After the session, I found myself leaning towards believing these fantastical stories.
00:08:37
However, I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of what might be going on in her mind
00:08:41
if she was just coming up with them on the spot. She was. stay sexy and take your child to a psychic so they understand their past life trauma katie she her

00:12:30
i'm not too long good day all here's another email from the random shit pile it's a bit long
00:12:36
so let's get into it my great aunt gertrude lattery savage was truly a badass bitch she
00:12:42
was born in 1911 as one of 13 children in a small town in alberta canada and lived quite the life
00:12:50
from then on. She grew up helping her dad do chores around the farm rather than helping her
00:12:55
mother with household duties. In high school, Gertie decided she wanted to get into boxing
00:13:00
and quickly went undefeated, becoming a local champ. A top female boxer from nearby Edmonton
00:13:07
challenged her to a fight and in Gertie's words, didn't last a round. Her fighting expertise came
00:13:13
in handy when a fellow got a bit too rowdy at her house and wouldn't leave. He did eventually leave
00:13:18
with a broken jaw. She entered into steer riding events at the rodeo when women weren't allowed to
00:13:24
compete. So she dressed like a man and competed anyway. She then became a winning jockey, but quit
00:13:31
because she couldn't stand the way the horses were treated. After her many adventures, she started a
00:13:38
family and a farm of her own until the 1980s, when she downsized to a smaller home where she would
00:13:44
day doing yard work and tending to her garden every day until her death in 2015 at the age of
00:13:51
104. Fuck yes I love her. Gertie always attributed her long life to quote being too goddamn busy to
00:14:00
get old and said of her life quote I lived my life as I wanted independent. Thanks so much for
00:14:09
reading this and thank you for keeping me occupied while I work every day as an electrician. Stay
00:14:15
sexy and don't get old. Rob. Oh my God. Love that. Love Gertie. A boxer. That's so badass.
00:14:23
So that's like probably the 1920s. She became a female boxer like that. We're like women weren't
00:14:29
allowed to wear pants. Yeah. I mean like or like it was looked down upon. Yeah. You know. Yeah. God.
00:14:35
Damn. Hell yeah, Gertie. Hell yeah. Okay, here's my grandma's forged birth certificate.
00:14:41
And then it says in parentheses, Italian mafia, just to sweeten the pot a little bit.
00:14:46
Hello, ladies. I'm a day one listener, and I love the way you tell true crime stories.
00:14:51
This is truly my favorite podcast, and I can't listen to other true crime podcasts because they just don't compare.
00:14:56
Thank you for fucking saying it. Wow. Anyways, let's get into it. There are a lot of good true crime podcasts you should listen to.
00:15:04
my grandmother was born in 1924 chicago specifically little italy growing up she said
00:15:11
the italian mob was a normal and everyday part of their lives in her neighborhood every few blocks
00:15:15
there would be a house owned by the mob and that was who you'd pay your dues to your dues she said
00:15:22
as long as you paid your fee you were safe protected and had nothing to worry about anyways
00:15:26
when she was 15 she went to apply for her first job after learning she'd need her birth certificate
00:15:32
to prove citizenship, she went home and found that it was missing. When she asked her mom,
00:15:37
she said, oh, you don't have a birth certificate, but don't worry, we'll just ask our man on the
00:15:41
corner. So my grandmother and great grandmother walked to the house on the corner of their street,
00:15:46
knocked on the door and waited for the mob to answer. When he answered, my grandmother explained
00:15:50
her situation and politely asked if he could get her a birth certificate. He said, no problem,
00:15:56
sweetie, you'll have one by the end of the week. A week goes by and sure enough, he knocks on their
00:16:01
front door, hands her a sealed envelope and went on his way. Until she died at the age of 95.
00:16:07
This was the only birth certificate she ever had. Unfortunately, she didn't end up getting the job,
00:16:13
but she said it was because of the prejudice against Italians, not because of her sketchy
00:16:17
birth certificate. Stay sexy and don't lose your birth certificate, G. She kept it the whole time.
00:16:24
Yeah, that's well, this is real as any government paperwork to her. That's just like, that's the one I got.
00:16:32
I love it. I mean, conceptually, conceptually, the mafia can be a good idea. But the mafia, HOAs, it's all the same.
00:16:42
Right. And then it gets corrupted and people love power. Totally. And then it's like, not what they promise.
00:16:48
No. Such is life. If you spend all day waiting to take your bra off, it might be time for Third Love.

It actually changes the whole game with bras. I thought I was like a something, something A cup.
00:17:35
I'm a something, something B cup. And it's just changed my bra game. I thought I just hated bras, but I was wearing the wrong size.
00:17:42
And with Third Love, like they're so comfortable that it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing a bra.

Okay, here's my last one. And the subject line is laughing while my sister cried, zipper ride related.
00:19:46
Hi, ladies. I've lost count of how many submissions I've sent in, but I find it therapeutic even if they're not read. And then in parentheses, but all caps, it says, don't give up everyone, which is my favorite phrase, I think, right now. Don't give up everyone.
00:20:04
Oh, God, everyone. Karen mentioning dying laughing from the backseat while Laura learned to drive in the most recent minisode reminded me of a similarly hilarious memory with my sister, Danica.
00:20:16
My dad traveled a lot when we were little, so when he was home, he would find any excuse to take us out of school and to local events like hot air balloon festivals, petting zoos, and in this story's case, our Central Texas County Fair.
00:20:29
Cute. My memory leading up to this core memory is fuzzy. I just remember my sister and I, who were both under 10 years old at the time, getting strapped into a seat that was oddly positioned at an angle with a metal lap bar and then locked into a rickety metal cage.
00:20:45
This is fucking right. That's right. As Karen may have guessed from her own experience with the ride, my father had let us go on the sketchiest carnival ride of all time, the zipper.
00:20:57
The ride started well enough. It was a small metal cage going around with the other cages in a Ferris wheel formation.
00:21:04
But before we knew it, the cage itself began to spin and my older sister lost her shit.
00:21:10
She immediately began sobbing. And when that didn't work to stop the nightmare, she began singing Jesus loves me at the top of her lungs.
00:21:21
Can I just say as a little sister, how scary is it when your big sister is freaking out?
00:21:26
Because you're like, it's like when you look at the flight attendant and they're freaking out, you're like, oh, no.
00:21:30
Completely. Yes. That's the person you're just supposed to be moving into their wake and following whatever they do.
00:21:36
And when they don't know what to do, you're like, well, then no one knows what to do.
00:21:39
It feels better to get made fun of by your older sibling than for them to be freaking out.
00:21:44
A thousand percent. Completely. Okay. So she's maybe younger than 10 year old just turning to the Lord to be saved from this carnival ride.
00:21:53
Then it says, we went to a Lutheran school, and I imagine this was the only thing her poor little adolescent brain could think of to soothe her from this traumatic experience.
00:22:02
I found the entire situation not only hilarious, but fun, and I couldn't help but laugh the entire time.
00:22:08
I will never forget how funny it was to have my sister on one side preparing to meet her maker, while at the same time seeing my tall, handsome Midwestern dad smiling and waving to us any time this deathtrap offered us a glimpse of him.
00:22:24
Danica doesn't listen to MFM regularly because she's still a little bitch. Just kidding, Danica.
00:22:29
If you do hear this, I love you. And the last thing, thank you, Karen and Georgia, for being surrogate older sisters to me.
00:22:36
normalizing mental health is the reason that i was able to get through struggles with infertility
00:22:41
and postpartum disorders i definitely wouldn't be where i am today without you two all the love in
00:22:48
the world jocelyn oh my god that's so touching like it's not just danica it's us too we're older
00:22:56
sisters too danica okay but we'll we'll be calm when we get on that crazy ass ride i will never
00:23:02
fucking get on that ride again. No. What was the one where you'd stand against a wall? It was like
00:23:07
the one that spun around and around and you got pushed by gravity to the side, but you could like
00:23:11
go upside down. I think the one at our fair was like the Gravitron. I think it had the word gravity
00:23:16
in the title. Yes. I went on that multiple times. And then you can see photos of it from back then
00:23:22
sometimes. And it's like, here's what would never happen again today. Never. But it was fun because
00:23:27
you could tell gravity was going to help you in the zipper that metal bar had fucking dents in it
00:23:33
it felt more aluminum than any other metal like it felt so unsafe and if you got a bad carny which
00:23:40
i'm sure not allowed to call them anymore but it's what we called them in the 80s if you got a mean
00:23:44
one if you were screaming like crazy yeah when you passed by they would spin your fucking thing
00:23:49
fuck that so you're already going around and then you'd be like triple going around my god
00:23:55
no please don't ever make me be a kid again I spent so much fucking time at the fair. It's really, it really sucks.
00:24:04
Okay, my last one's kind of long. It's called Blockbuster Beatdown. What's up, you beautiful bitches? The number of times that I've been driving and listening to MFM,
00:24:14
wanting to write and submit this hometown is more than I can count. And look, here we are. Let's get
00:24:19
into it. On the 400th episode, you made it on the best one. My family spent a few years in Yorkton,
00:24:26
Saskatchewan when I was under the age of five. So forgive my hazy memory and reliance on family
00:24:31
lore. Every weekend, our routine was a symphony of nostalgia, subway sandwiches, ripple chips,
00:24:37
chocolate milk, and it says a meal that sounds as disgusting as it is memorable. And of course,
00:24:42
a trip to Blockbuster. This ritual kept my parents sane while wrangling four kids under eight.
00:24:49
One Friday, my dad packed us all into our Astrovan and we made our way to Subway and the convenience
00:24:54
store. Everything seemed routine until my dad noticed two men going into the blockbuster with
00:25:00
ski masks over their faces. Being that it was a small town, he knew that it was a young girl in
00:25:06
her 20s who always worked on Friday nights. And so he sprang into action like he was auditioning
00:25:11
for a hero role in a low budget action film. He quietly snuck into the blockbuster and was able
00:25:17
to overpower one guy who turned out to be an older teenager, while the other one ran out the front
00:25:22
door and ditched his friend. Holy shit. My dad may or may not have exchanged a few punches with
00:25:27
the kids. He was in a ski mask and robbing a blockbuster. I think a few punches were warranted
00:25:32
until the kid ran off after realizing he messed with the wrong blockbuster. The worker was grateful and I'm sure we got a few free rentals out of the whole ordeal.
00:25:41
I hope so. It says no wonder they went out of business. My dad came back into the van and we returned home. My mom was met with four kids raving about
00:25:49
what dad did. And she didn't seem at all that impressed. And it says they divorced a few years
00:25:53
later, four kids can do that to a marriage. At this point, this man is a true superhero out in
00:26:01
the world. And she's like, whatever, it's not solving any of our problems. This story is one
00:26:06
of my favorites to talk about my dad he was always willing to stick up for people deserving of it and took care of those around him He took on so many different ventures often calling himself a jack of all trades and a master of none And he always showed us unconditional love Sadly my dad was killed by a distracted driver while he was on a motorcycle
00:26:24
trip with his friends in September of 2019. It's approaching five years since the worst day of my
00:26:30
life, but I remember with fondness all of the times he was a badass. After he passed, I had a
00:26:35
message request from someone I didn't recognize. I opened it and was from the Blockbuster employee
00:26:40
that he defended. She told me she always had a huge crush on my dad after that. And she was
00:26:46
always appreciative of him for the day he saved her. She wasn't the only one to confess her
00:26:51
admiration for my dad after he died. Several women did. He resembled Tom Selleck. And apparently
00:26:58
that got the ladies going even posthumously. That's why the mom was just like, uh-huh.
00:27:03
Oh, did you? Oh, did you? Right. While losing my dad was the hardest thing I've ever had to endure, it opened my eyes to a whole new world.
00:27:12
Shortly after he was killed, I started the process of suing for wrongful death. I was exposed to various aspects of the justice system and ended up finding a love for it.
00:27:21
In June of 2024, I graduated with a Juris Doctorate, law degree, and moved to Edmonton, Alberta to start my career and to provide legal services to those who need it most.
00:27:32
Losing my dad and all the legalities that came with it turned out to be a pot of gold
00:27:36
at the end of the rainbow. And I'm thankful for my ability to work hard through my grief.
00:27:41
Very shortly after my dad died, I found your podcast. It felt good to laugh again and truly felt like I had two friends constantly joking around
00:27:48
while I just listened. I struggled with immense anxiety for years following his death, but I always felt a sense
00:27:54
of relief when I put my AirPods in and could hear the familiar hellos from the both of you.
00:27:59
Thank you for always being a support to me, even though I didn't realize it. You got me through a lot and continue to bring a smile to my face when I listen to each episode.
00:28:07
Recognizing both of your growth as individuals has also been something that I've enjoyed and commend you both on.
00:28:13
Stay sexy and watch out for motorcyclists and always be willing to participate in a blockbuster beatdown.
00:28:19

00:28:36
where it's like accidental and feels like it shouldn't have happened. But on top of that,
00:28:41
you know, there are a lot of mediocre dads out there. There's a lot of bad dads out there.
00:28:46
It's rare when you get a dad that truly is like the kind of person that would be like,
00:28:50
