My favorite murder Hello! And welcome to My Favorite Murder. The mini-sode. How cute is that?
00:01:50
Little precious emails that you've written in to us. Oh my god, thank you. Oh, we should say this at the beginning.
00:01:54
If you guys want to watch what we're saying over via video, go to the fan cult. We're videoing this.
00:02:00
We have makeup on. It's so good. Oh, my God. You wouldn't believe it. It's a whole different experience.
00:02:06
You want to go first? Sure. Sure. Okay. Mine's called Biker Gang Parents. Hello, ladies.
00:02:13
Love you both. Love the podcast. You make my work day so much better. I'm a medical biller.
00:02:17
And some days I get to listen to my girls tell me some stories. Shout out to my friend, John Paul, who tried to tell me for years that I would love your podcast.
00:02:26
He was right. You have to listen to John Paul. John Paul knows what's up. He knows.
00:02:30
Settle in for this crazy shit. This story has been told to me by both parents at separate times.
00:02:35
My parents met at a party at Kent State University in Ohio. My father was from a neighboring city about 45 minutes away.
00:02:42
Asked my mother if she wanted to go for a ride on his motorcycle. The rest is history.
00:02:47
Hot, hot, hot. In 1972, my 19-year-old mother, Debbie, was pregnant with me, and she and my 18-year-old father, Glenn, were in a motorcycle, quote, club called The Chosen Few.
00:03:01
Oh. The club members, quote, hung out in an abandoned house. My dad was the vice president of the club and went by lush.
00:03:11
The club president went by sex. And then it's cracking up emoji. And then it says it was the 70s.
00:03:18
Sex is not a good nickname. That's just straight up your nickname. It's so it just really ruins everything about like double entendre and trying to be kind of like flirty.
00:03:30
It's just the word. There's no subtlety. What you call yourself that lush, I guess.
00:03:37
It's okay. But so there they all were hanging out doing God knows what. The story goes there was some beef with another club and the rival club went looking for the chosen fuse clubhouse.
00:03:48
Is sex here? Is Lush here? Knock, knock, knock. My mother was sitting on a couch getting ready to smoke a cigarette.
00:03:54
Remember, she's pregnant. When she reached down to pick up her lighter. Just then, someone began shooting up the house.
00:04:01
So this really is a fucking motorcycle gang. Yeah, this is a motorcycle gang. Yeah.
00:04:05
My dad and the other guys began shooting back. The first shooter fled. So they got in a car and chased him.
00:04:11
Thankfully, no one was hurt or killed. My mom said, quote, after the guys left, the girls were all freaked out and began to nervously clean up.
00:04:19
That's when we see the bullet hole right above the couch where I was sitting. If I hadn't been down to get my lighter, we would have both died.
00:04:26
Her and the baby. Oh, my God. My father and another member of the club were later arrested for shooting into an empty car they thought was the car involved in the shooting.
00:04:36
I can get it. I still have the newspaper articles about how the quote gang members known as sex and lush were told by the judge in court to take a shower and get a haircut.
00:04:47
My father was in jail for almost two years, including the day I was born. He and my mother split shortly after his release and he moved to Florida, not before my mom became pregnant with my brother.
00:04:58
We still live in Ohio. I reconnected with my father about 10 years ago when I was 40.
00:05:02
He came to visit and we talk and text. He has actually grown up and I'm glad he's in my life.
00:05:08
I have heard so many stories about the crazy shit they did. Most of the stories about their lives back in the day come from my 71-year-old Harley
00:05:16
Davidson wearing chain smoking tattooed mother. She is still a fucking wild child.
00:05:23
Yes. Stay sexy and don't let your teenage parents join a motorcycle gang. Trina, she, her.
00:05:31
I mean, here's the thing. I feel like that's a long-term lifestyle. It's not a trend that you're joining and then, or I would say very uncommon.
00:05:41
Yeah. Because that's in Northern California, where I'm from, there's lots of people who are like hippies that then became bikers that that was what was happening in the North Bay, kind of.
00:05:53
And you were either kind of like the kind of hippie that looked like a biker but you actually owned like a vegetarian sandwich shop Right Or you were literally just dealing meth Oh my God Whatever It weird
00:06:05
It's like... It's lifestyle. Yeah. Anyway, I love an inside, a true crime story from the inside, kind of.
00:06:13
Yeah. I want to see a photo of them back then. Of Lush. Lush. Now I'm scared that I insulted sexist gang name.
00:06:21
Don't do it. Where it's like, hey, I want no beef with either Lush or Suck. No beef.
00:06:26
No beef. Please. Okay. Here's my first one. Dear Karen in Georgia, hello from Ireland.
00:06:34
Okay. This is a bit of a long one, so I'm going to get straight into it. My grandmother lives in a beautiful, old, three-story house in Dublin that's been in our family since her aunt moved in way back in the early 1900s.
00:06:47
my grandmother has lived there her whole adult life raising four children alone after her husband
00:06:52
passed away when she was only 30 years old oh my god not so fun fact when my grandmother was a
00:06:59
single young mother her neighbors petitioned to kick her and her children off the street as
00:07:05
apparently a single mother in ireland at that time brought down the quote-unquote prestige
00:07:10
of the neighborhood. Oh my God. Yeah. But being the independent woman that she is,
00:07:17
she said, fuck politeness and is still living there to this day. Nice. Yeah. God forbid any
00:07:23
woman be single or independent. About 10 years ago, she was getting work done on the house,
00:07:29
which had builders going through the house and into the attic, a place my grandmother probably
00:07:33
never ever stepped foot in in all her time living there. One day as my grandmother and uncle were
00:07:39
having a cup of tea, one of the builders came into the kitchen white as a ghost, putting two
00:07:44
brown objects onto the table saying, I think we need to call the police. After the police and a
00:07:52
full-blown forensic team arrived, it was determined that the objects found were two human feet,
00:08:00
one child's foot and one adult foot, which still had parts of the leg attached. preserved from a bog dating back over 2,000 years.
00:08:13
Holy shit. Bodies of the bog. I mean, of course, my whole family were in shock as to how there had been literal human remains
00:08:21
in the attic for all these years. And my 80-year-old grandmother was even questioned by the police.
00:08:27
Turns out my grandmother's uncle, who lived in the house before her, was a pathologist who worked in the Midlands
00:08:32
where many of these bog bodies and body parts turned up during the cutting of turf and milling of peat. He passed away a few years before they
00:08:41
were found, so I guess we'll never know why he decided to bring them home. The feet are now on
00:08:46
display in the National Museum in Dublin if you want to go see them yourself. Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank
00:08:53
you for everything you do in relation to mental health awareness, and even though my boyfriend is
00:08:57
very unsettled by it, your podcast helps me peacefully fall asleep most nights. I love it.
00:09:03
Lots of love Aoife, which is spelled A-O-I-F-E. Oh, my God. You want to know how to pronounce that name.
00:09:12
Aoife just explained it to all of us. Aoife. Aoife. That's so pretty. Isn't that incredible?
00:09:18
Oh, I want to be there now. I want to be there. Like, that sounds amazing. Jesus Christ.
00:09:24
He put him up in the attic and now we're all going to jail a fart. That's how my grandma would say.
00:09:30
But she's drunk. But do it when she's drunk. Well, I can't do that. That's very disrespectful to my grandmother, who is who I'm doing an impression of from my memory.
00:09:39
And she didn't drink. She did not drink. Teetotaler. Teetotaler. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent.
00:09:52

Quince.com slash MFM. Goodbye. Okay, I got framed for arson as a child. It just starts, I grew up in a tiny town in Northern California called Olivehurst.
00:12:48
Never heard of it. Never heard of it. That's crazy, right? I've never heard of it.
00:12:51
Never heard of it. Although, do they say anything about where it's, what it's near?
00:12:56
Nope. Just Northern California. Can I look really quick? It might be near, oh no, it's right near Yuba City.
00:13:03
Oh, okay. Yeah. I would never venture that way. No, you wouldn't. But it's between Sacramento and Chico. You'd stop over at Olive Hearst to
00:13:11
have a nice milkshake. As most small towns go, there wasn't much for kids to do. So we would
00:13:17
hopped the fence to get to the area behind the local park that everyone just called the bowl.
00:13:22
One time, while with some friends and some other kids in our class, we were probably in like sixth
00:13:27
grade, we rode our bikes to the park and then hopped the fence to hang out in the bowl. It was
00:13:32
partly concrete, but it had a lot of dry grass. One of the people in the group, a kid named John,
00:13:37
who I disliked, but my best friend had a crush on, this will be important later, found a box of
00:13:43
matches. Just how every story from your childhood in the 90s starts. Just a random box of matches.
00:13:52
Oh, sorry. I was thinking of like a box of match books. So it's a ton, but it's one small box.
00:13:58
I guess so. Found matches. And in his young teenage brain, he decided it would be a great
00:14:04
idea to light one of the matches and drop it into the dry grass. As you can expect,
00:14:08
this went poorly and we quickly realized that we could not actually handle this fire.
00:14:12
so we did the logical thing and ran. While attempting to get back on our bikes and flee,
00:14:19
I got about one street away before a spoke on my wheel snap and I crashed my bike going over the
00:14:24
handlebars and the bike coming down on top of my head. And it says, of course, with no helmet.
00:14:30
My best friend stopped to help me while everyone else kept going. It's a good friend. I don't
00:14:34
remember how, but the next thing I know, my parents were there while firefighters were busy
00:14:39
trying to put out the fire in the bowl. I bet they had a concussion. I bet. And go ass over
00:14:44
tea kettle on your fucking bike. As you're hauling ass away from a fire. Totally. Totally.
00:14:50
Since my best friend had a crush on John, she made me promise not to tell them that he was the one
00:14:55
who started the fire. I like a fool listened to her and said that I didn't know who said it.
00:15:01
My parents decided that I must have been the one who set the fire and I was grounded.
00:15:05
that's not fair no your honor no were the parents trying to do high pressure you will tell us yeah
00:15:13
and if you was it that i know it says even now as a full-grown adult i'm pretty sure they still
00:15:18
think i was the one who set the fire no that's not a lot of faith your parents having you
00:15:24
i don't remember getting in trouble with the fire department at least but i don't think i ever went
00:15:29
back to the bowl stay sexy and don't take the blame for an arson that you didn't commit
00:15:34
Milo, he, they. Milo, I'm so sorry. What worse injustice is there than being accused of something as a kid and having your parents
00:15:46
think it's true? That's right. We believe you here at My Favorite Murder, the Murderinos.
00:15:50
We believe you. We're on your side. We believe you. We know you're not stupid enough to pick up matches.
00:15:56
Yeah. We'll call your parents and tell them. Yeah, that's right. Or just play this for them.
00:16:01
I don't know. Will you play it and then write in their phone number if they're not going along with whatever it is we're making up right now?
00:16:07
Yeah. Yeah, we'll go see them in Olivehurst. We owe that town a stopover. We owe Olivehurst everything.
00:16:14
They made us and they can break us. This is a drunk elevator story. Dear wonderful women, your episodes are something I always look forward to during my work week.
00:16:25
Hearing your voices instantly gives me peace, even when you're almost always talking about
00:16:30
not peaceful things. It's real weird. We don't get it either. We don't get it either. Thank you for all that you do. Y'all are amazing.
00:16:39
I also love hearing you try to say y'all. I hate taking on regional trend language because I just
00:16:48
feel phony and like I'm doing it wrong. Yeah, y'all is very much not one of your
00:16:53
words for sure. I write it, but I don't say it in like emails and shit. Right. It is the kind of thing where I think this podcast has really opened my eyes to like
00:17:02
how often I'm wrong. So those kinds of things where you have to have the kind of blissful
00:17:07
ignorance to be like, y'all come in here and come over for a dinner party or whatever.
00:17:12
It's just like, it doesn't sound it's you're not from there. Yeah, but it's gender neutral. And so you're allowed to adopt it to be able to accommodate
00:17:22
everyone. True. You know what I mean? That's a good idea. Yeah, that's a good point. Okay.
00:17:27
So it says, I just listened to this week's minisode where you said you loved hearing
00:17:31
stories of drunk people doing dumb things and elevator stories. I knew I had to write in this
00:17:37
stupid combo from when I was briefly in college at Appalachian State. A group of seven of us were
00:17:45
leaving my friend's dorm room, a little stoned and smelling of shitty weed, our underage pockets
00:17:50
and jackets shoved with loose cans of cheap beer most likely PBR We cheerily loaded up on the very small elevator looking forward to our no doubt mediocre night out On our way down we decided it be fun if we all jumped at the same time
00:18:06
Oh my god. I love it. To make the elevator shake. Can you tell our brains were not fully formed?
00:18:16
We counted to three and jumped. The weak little elevator jolted and we all looked at each other
00:18:22
and let out a nervous laugh when it stopped moving altogether. We were trapped. The call
00:18:27
button on the elevator did absolutely nothing. None of us had cell service. And who would we
00:18:32
call anyways? The elevator police? Wouldn't you know it? Out of our seven friends, two of us had
00:18:38
claustrophobia. Oh my God. That's a high percentage. I'm just trying to think of like,
00:18:46
because I just went to New York recently and it's the elevators there are small and like smaller
00:18:51
than this, I feel the standard of California elevators where it's a little like roughly
00:18:56
two people wide, you know, two, maybe three. Because they had to build, they had to add them.
00:19:01
Whereas LA like was like so new that they were already in the plans, right? It was like, let's get this thing six people wide and see where we can go with it or whatever.
00:19:10
I don't know. Maybe they're standardized. But there was an elevator that I was in while I was in New York.
00:19:16
I was like, this is too small. I don't like it. And it sounds like they had seven people in one of those kind of elevators.
00:19:23
At least you know everyone. Okay. Yeah, that's true. You know everyone, but two people have claustrophobia.
00:19:29
Okay. Within a few minutes, one friend started joking about establishing a pee corner.
00:19:34
That's when the panic really set in for me. I would have been the friend that made that joke.
00:19:39
I curled myself into a little ball in the corner to give myself the illusion of more space.
00:19:45
And then in parentheses, it says, I'm one of the claustrophobic ones. The other truly panicked person, one of my best friends, Jordan, took the initiative to start screaming into the little crack in the elevator doors.
00:19:56
Help! Help! To this day, I can hear his goofy sounding cries. No offense, Jordan.
00:20:02
He repeatedly yelled that same word for probably 10 to 15 minutes before an RA peered through the small crack and then walked away to call for help.
00:20:12
Oh, my God. I guess the police were the ones to call since they showed up to rescue us 30 to 40 minutes into our elevator nightmare.
00:20:20
No. At this point, everyone's buzz had worn off, so we were mostly sober by the time they pried open the doors to pull us out.
00:20:28
We had to climb out, being pulled up through a two to three foot gap at the top of the elevator door.
00:20:34
No. Luckily, no one got cut in half during this rescue. And the elevator police kindly ignored the beer can-shaped lump sticking out of our clothing.
00:20:42
I'm very grateful that we all had better control over our bladders than our impulses and we can
00:20:48
still laugh about the experience except for Jordan to this day Jordan will only take the stairs
00:20:53
stay sexy and don't jump around on elevators Ashley oh my god that's a nightmare oh I mean
00:21:01
it's not fair to name check Jordan so extensively in this email but however there's so many people
00:21:11
that would be on Jordan's side and in Jordan's exact position. I don't think there's any shame in being like,
00:21:17
oh yes, I can't be in a very small confined space with seven other people. You don't even have to be, quote, claustrophobic for that to be a fucking nightmare.
00:21:26
That's not part of the equation necessarily. Correct. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer,
00:21:35

goes quote too suspiciously around the neighborhood gets posted with a caption sort of like quote does
00:24:24
anyone recognize this car it was looking like it was casing the neighborhood type stuff
00:24:28
I feel like we have a piece of responsibility in that. Hey, communicate. Yeah, tell your neighbors.
00:24:37
You got to tell everyone. I had minor cosmetic surgery last summer. I was still on narcotics and my dad, who I was staying with, was as usual drunk by 7 p.m.
00:24:46
We decided we were craving wings and placed a DoorDash order for Hooters since neither of us were sober to drive.
00:24:53
My house is kind of hard to see at night. It's down a long driveway that you could easily miss.
00:24:58
This poor teenage door dasher calls me and says, I accidentally delivered to the wrong house and now they won't give it back.
00:25:04
And they're saying they're calling the police. Oh, my God. I was obviously like, what the fuck?
00:25:09
So I walked down there. My neighbor was holding his door closed with just enough opening to stick out a cell phone and let the girl know he was videoing for, quote, evidence while she was trying to get our food back.
00:25:22
And yes, he did call the police. He told them he was delivered a suspicious package.
00:25:29
Oh, my God. He was holding my wings hostage. Two sheriff patrol cars pulled up and then had a good laugh once I explained the situation.
00:25:38
And they realized it was not a bomb, but in fact, two orders of chicken wings. Also to note, the delivery was clearly in a Hooters bag.
00:25:48
Stay sexy. And I guess don't trust Hooters wings being delivered to your door. with all the love, Sarah, she, her. Sarah, thank God that you took the initiative to go and right
00:26:00
that wrong Oh Jesus But you know that was like a lonely old person or something trying to start a fight or get a little interaction and a little connection You think so Well because none of it makes sense
00:26:15
Yeah. Like if you're claiming you're afraid of that mysterious package, why are you, why did you bring it into your house?
00:26:21
Yeah. You weren't. I hope they tipped her really well at the door dasher. Oh, my God.
00:26:26
The subject line of my last one is this is a blimp podcast now. And then it starts, get in losers, we're going blimping.
00:26:36
I love it. I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, home of the iconic Goodyear Tire Company.
00:26:43
One of their three U.S.-based blimps has a home in Akron, and it is a common sight to see it flying in the northeast Ohio area for no reason.
00:26:51
It was so exciting as a child to be at recess and see the blimp flying over your playground.
00:26:56
Yeah. I bet. It flies much lower than airplanes, and the old model made this distinct humming noise that you could hear overhead.
00:27:04
All the kids would run and wave excitedly at it. As a grown-ass adult who now lives in Columbus, two hours from Akron,
00:27:12
I still get the same excitement when I see the Goodyear blimp here for an Ohio State football game or some other big event.
00:27:18
I still wave at it. I just can't help myself. Of course. Of course you do. Childhood friends that live in other states now always send me pictures if the Goodyear blimp is in their city.
00:27:30
I love it. We know you love this blimp. Yeah. So here, remember? As it really brings back innocent feelings of childhood for all of us.
00:27:40
Goodyear actually donates blimp rides for charities to sell at auctions, hence the frequent weekday flyovers.
00:27:47
My parents bought one back in 2012, and we all were able to ride the blimp along with my grandparents.
00:27:52
They casually asked us where we wanted to go. And we had them fly over all of our houses and my old grade school playground.
00:28:01
Oh, my God. Full circle. Where do you want to go? Shouldn't there be regulations that tell you exactly?
00:28:06
I don't know. And we could have had a world like this if we had given blimps a chance and the Hindenburg
00:28:11
hadn't exploded. That's true. It was not scary at all Just felt like a calm peaceful floating So this is my peer pressure to have the two of you get out on that Goodyear blimp in California 2010 would recommend this is the
00:28:24
content we need. Can't wait for you to become blimp girlies. Your friend, Ro-Ro.
00:28:32
I love it. I'm in. I'm in. I already am a blimp girly, first of all. Secondly, I'm into, you know what? I want
00:28:42
more and more people to write in to explain exactly what the experience is going to be like.
00:28:47
And then once we know for sure, do you have a blimp story for some reason? Send it in.
00:28:53
But it's actually really interesting to know that about that it'll just go where you want.
00:28:57
Because one time my friend Bradford and I, who works in the Great Lakes office of the Exactly
00:29:03
Right company, we were both unemployed and we were in my backyard in my old house
00:29:09
sitting around the pool and the Goodyear blimp came toward us. And we were like, what the hell?
00:29:15
And we're like, at first we were laughing, like, that's so crazy. And then it like came toward us,
00:29:20
like toward the backyard multiple times. What I think I realized now is they were probably trying
00:29:26
to go over the Warner Brothers lot. Oh, that makes sense. Which was like three blocks from my house.
00:29:31
Yeah. See someone famous. And so I think they were like, oh, look at this. And then trying to turn
00:29:36
around, but it looked like they were like coming to look at us. It was so unnerving.
00:29:41
Oh my God. It's like a police helicopter, but way less chill. Still pretty chill, chill.
00:29:48
Very, very chill. So the silent version, the slow silent version of that. Hey guys, thanks for listening.
