00:01:52
Come on. you love this one you love it okay you want to go first this time sure yeah the subject line of
00:02:02
this email is simply the bright side of humanity oh k and g crew and critters i sent this before you asked for that's such a fucking hilarious way to start an email
00:02:16
hey look i sent this before yeah you asked for stories about people doing good deeds
00:02:21
Here's a story about a roadside rescue. Back in the early 80s, before cell phones, I was cruising around the beltway, heading to a friend's house to drop off my dog Spanky before going on vacation. It was after work, still daylight, and strangely, there was very little traffic.
00:02:37
I'm in the second lane from the right and I notice an 18-wheeler barreling up in the far left lane.
00:02:44
I glance forward to see a 4x4 piece of lumber in the left lane. How do I know it was a 4x4?
00:02:51
Because I got a much closer look at it. Sure enough, the truck runs over the wood, turning it into a missile heading straight for my windshield.
00:03:01
Spanky was next to me. She refused to ride in the back. and I pushed her to the floor, leaned myself onto the passenger seat, and blindly turned the car to
00:03:11
the right, trying to avoid the projectile. This all happened at once, me pushing the dog, leaning
00:03:17
out of the way, and steering the car to the right as the wood takes off my side view mirror,
00:03:23
busts through the driver's window, and becomes impaled inside between the headrest and the car
00:03:29
frame. What the fuck? Thankfully, there was no one in the right lanes. In fact, there was no one at
00:03:37
all on the road. The 18-wheeler blithely continues down the highway and we're covered in bits of
00:03:43
safety glass, partially pulled over on an eerily empty four-lane highway. What the fuck just
00:03:50
happened? The dog and I are okay, just a little stunned, and we had to exit by the passenger door
00:03:56
since there was an eight-foot four-by-four sticking out of the driver's window. While we were sitting on the side of the road, and I'm trying to process what to do next,
00:04:07
this tricked-out custom-painted van with very large horses on it pulls over and two guys get out.
00:04:14
Oh, great, great. I'm hoping they're going to be cool because I was pretty defenseless.
00:04:18
No phone, no potential weapon, and no witnesses. They walk around my car freaking out over the wood protruding awkwardly and then approach me asking if I'm okay.
00:04:29
In a shaky voice, I answer yes, and I can feel the delayed response of tears and jitters coming on.
00:04:35
One of the guys runs across all eight lanes of freeway to get to a gas station and use the payphone.
00:04:42
And then a parentheses that says, like I said, it was the 80s. The other one stands there looking at me and then says, I bet you could use a drink.
00:04:51
And my 22-year-old self says, a big one. And he says, well, this is your lucky day.
00:04:57
I work for, and then in parentheses, the beer company with the very large horses.
00:05:02
He opens the back of the van to reveal a tapped keg nestled in a custom stand and a stack of to-go cups on a little bar.
00:05:11
Yes. While waiting for the cops, I enjoyed a cold beverage with my savior, which we discreetly disposed of when the officer arrived.
00:05:19
The cop took a report. the van dudes removed the lumber from my car i dropped off spanky and the car was repaired while
00:05:26
i was on vacay all's well that ends well stay sexy and pay attention when you're driving
00:05:32
loretta what the fuck i mean that is one of the greatest stories ever told yeah that's a great
00:05:41
survivor story unbelievable that happened to us once when we were on the freeway we watched just
00:05:48
like a standard ladder fall off the back of a truck and come bouncing down the freeway
00:05:54
at us So it bounced over the car in front of us And then it hit the ground in front of the car And my ex was driving and he kind of put his hand out and went hold on And we drove over it
00:06:06
Oh, my God. And nothing happened. Nothing happened. We just drove over it and it was fine.
00:06:10
But if it was any denser material, I think we smashed it from driving over it. Right.
00:06:16
Or maybe you've had a smaller car or something like that. Yeah. It was fucking horrifying.
00:06:21
The idea that it was just like she just basically collided with a lumber missile.
00:06:27
Good thing she saw it first. That is, I'm never leaving the house again. I mean, Loretta, thank you for that amazing 80s story.
00:06:34
That was epic. A great epic story. This is called 12-Year-Olds with Jobs and My Almost First Murder.
00:06:42
Hello. You recently called for stories about 12-Year-Olds with Jobs, and I thought, yay, I finally have a story to write in.
00:06:49
Back in the very early 90s, you could start volunteering as a candy striper at the local
00:06:54
hospital when you turn 12. A few of my friends did it and were tasked with safe jobs, such as delivering flowers
00:07:00
or helping in the gift shop. I must have looked like a very responsible 12-year-old because I was assigned to the
00:07:06
transportation department, which meant I had to transport patients out of the hospital
00:07:10
when they were discharged home. I had a great time wheeling new moms with babies to their waiting cars and elderly people
00:07:17
happy to be going home. One day, the paid adult transporter called out sick, so they used me to
00:07:23
transport patients around the hospital, which meant the patients were actually still in need
00:07:29
of medical care. One assignment had me transporting a man who had both an IV pole and an oxygen tank.
00:07:36
I used my not yet fully developed 12-year-old brain to come up with a plan that involved him
00:07:41
holding the IV pole while I maneuvered the wheelchair and oxygen tank slowly to his destination
00:07:47
and surgery. I'm so sorry. I forgot that this was about a 12-year-old. It only took me 30 seconds
00:07:53
to forget. I'm like, wait a second. A 12-year-old works at the hospital. An untrained 12-year-old is moving patients from different departments.
00:08:02
How? How? It gets worse. Wait. Okay. Once we got to the nurse's station, the nurses told me to put him in a room and wanting to be
00:08:09
efficient, I quickly grabbed his wheelchair to put him in the correct room. Only problem was that I
00:08:15
forgot about the oxygen. The nasal cannula stayed in his nose, but the end disconnected from the
00:08:20
oxygen tank. I, of course, did the right thing, which at 12 years old was yelling,
00:08:26
good luck with surgery and booking it off to the unit to end my shift. I spent the rest of the week convinced that I had killed the guy and fully expecting to be
00:08:35
arrested when I arrived for my next shift. To my astonishment, no one said anything when I arrived,
00:08:39
So I asked how he was doing. It clearly being the days before HIPAA, my boss immediately looked at his chart and told
00:08:46
me his surgery had gone well and he had been discharged home. In an interesting turn of events, I have spent most of my career in health care and work
00:08:56
on compliance measures that have been put in place to protect patients from 12-year-olds
00:09:02
almost killing them. Good. Thank God. I'm still trying to make amends for that poor guy who I almost killed at the tender age of 12.
00:09:11
Stay sexy and don't let 12 year olds Doogie Howser it up at the hospital. Heather, she, her.
00:09:18
That's so like, what a fateful story where it's like, sure, I could have potentially killed this
00:09:25
man. But instead, what I did was I took the lesson there. And I went and tried to change
00:09:30
policy in the future. That's trauma. That's like long held trauma. Yeah. Good job.
00:09:38
While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent. The future soccer stars who are

Goodbye. The subject line of this email is, is it too late for a Chippendale story?
00:11:09
And this just starts, salutations. And then it says, ugh, y'all are excellent. Thank you for championing mental health, compassion, and general badassery.
00:11:20
Okay, here goes. The year is 2000. The place is the San Fernando Valley. My best friend Anna and I are walking to Target on some vital 14-year-old girl business.
00:11:32
A red convertible pulls up next to us, and a man in a dated neon tank top and shorts shorts ensemble calls out to us.
00:11:39
We give him our attention because we have not yet learned to fuck politeness. He tells us that he is a Chippendales dancer.
00:11:46
If you ladies know anyone having a bachelorette party, give me a call. 14. 14. He hands us an old receipt on the back of which is written David Steele S and a phone number And then a parenthesis that says is this common practice among the Chippendales set
00:12:07
Is it a bizarro catfishing attempt? Who knows? We did not call this man. Close parenthesis.
00:12:14
Of course, when we regale our folks with this story, they're tickled. Nobody seemed the least bit concerned that we approached the car of a strange man.
00:12:22
and David Steele's number remains in my wallet for years. Oh my God. Stay sexy and at least get some business cards, dude.
00:12:31
Jamaica, she, her. Yeah, your parents should have yelled at you. Sorry, David Steele was not a Chippendales dancer.
00:12:42
That wasn't real. David Steele is a fucking weirdo writing his name and phone number on a receipt
00:12:48
and wearing a neon twin set around the valley. Come on. Sounds like the valley. Pretty fucking spot on.
00:12:58
That's kind of what the valley's like. As a resident and proud citizen, that's what we're like over here.
00:13:03
Okay, this one's called True Crime on the Boss's Dime. Greetings. In episode 384, Georgia asked,
00:13:11
how many people listen to my favorite murder while at work? I'm raising my hand.
00:13:16
I've been an MFM listener since the early days, thanks to my oldest friend, Sarah,
00:13:21
who insisted I subscribe almost seven years ago. Thank you, Sarah. Thank you. Good job.
00:13:26
Good job. Rate, review, subscribe. I've enjoyed most episodes while at work, crouched over my drawing table at a large greeting card company in the Midwest.
00:13:37
So while my hand is illustrating cute Easter bunnies and sweet baby shower rainbows and
00:13:42
delicate Mother's Day bouquets. My ears are full of murder and mayhem. Oh, wow. Your compelling
00:13:47
stories have helped me stay focused in the studio for long stretches of time. Months later, when I
00:13:52
see these cards for sale in stores, I can often remember exactly which episode I was listening to
00:13:57
when I created the art. Oh my God. That's so cool. That's smiling snowman holding mistletoe,
00:14:05
National Forest serial killer. Oh my God. That adorable corgi puppy with a heart on its butt,
00:14:10
poisoned Halloween candy. Sometimes I wonder if any of the darkness from the podcast seeps into
00:14:16
the lighthearted images I'm illustrating. Next time you pick up a card for grandma,
00:14:20
do you notice a sense of foreboding and those frolicking butterflies? Hopefully I've hidden it
00:14:25
well. Thank you, Karen and Georgia, for helping me be productive at work for the better part of a
00:14:30
decade from C. C, the secret greeting card illustrator. Well, here's the thing, and this
00:14:36
is something C knows as well as all of us that love true crime. Life is a combination of light
00:14:41
and dark. We can't have one without the other, for sure. We've all had terrible Christmases or,
00:14:48
you know, winter holidays or Easter's or whatever non-Catholic holidays everybody
00:14:54
else celebrates. I don't know. Thank you. Thank you for including us. Thank you for mentioning.

00:16:46
Sinkhole? Is it sinkhole related? Close in terms of things I love. Okay. And so I won't read you the subject line. It starts a blanket. Hello to all involved and
00:16:57
associated. Karen, your hair's looking fabulous. Georgia, that cat looks great on you.
00:17:05
The best compliment for you of all time. I love that. I love that. Okay. It says,
00:17:12
all right, enough already. Let's get into this. This scene. I was a manager at a coffee shop in
00:17:16
an affluent area of Los Angeles. I woke up at 4.30 a.m. almost every day. So one day,
00:17:23
I walk into the coffee shop from the back door to open, like any other day, and I notice something
00:17:29
is awry. Our bug zapper, which had been Velcroed to the wall, is on the floor. Immediately,
00:17:35
almost too immediately, I come to the conclusion, ghosts? I enter the front, Turn on the lights and see a big gaping hole where the window once was. Panic sets in. We had a break
00:17:49
in Is the culprit still there Am I in danger I look around the small space with phone in hand ready to dial 911 and no one is around Thank God When I tell you there is glass everywhere there is glass everywhere Months after the incident I was still finding broken glass
00:18:07
completely covering every surface and on the floor, but there were also shards of glass
00:18:11
all the way to the sidewalk. So I call everyone, the police, my operations manager, my mom,
00:18:17
my my boss tells us to stay and open like normal sure so slowly our regulars start rolling in now
00:18:27
being in a trendy wealthier area of la we get quite a number of celebrities and then in
00:18:32
parentheses it just says brag now i don't want to name any names but we would often get a lovely
00:18:38
visit from a particular irishman with devilish good looks and eyebrows that could vote run for
00:18:43
mayor, pull their own weight, start a band, build a house, join a cult, call your dad, etc. Yep.
00:18:49
Colin Farrell. Yay. It's a Colin Farrell email. Oh my god. Singles and Colin Farrell. Like what
00:18:57
else is there? Like, like, oh my god. KK is losing. Kind of dying. Here's the funniest thing,
00:19:06
though. After the name Colin Farrell, they put somehow in an email, they have the emoji of a
00:19:12
penguin. Why? Oh, the penguin from Batman. Did he play the penguin in the most recent Batman?
00:19:20
Oh, that's amazing. Okay. For a second, I was like, oh, these kids with their secret emoji
00:19:24
language. I was like, the lobster? Was there a penguin in the lobster? Is the penguin a girl
00:19:30
eggplant? What's happening? Okay. He's the penguin. Okay. Call and orders as usual through the app.
00:19:38
And then in parentheses, it says, I still remember his coffee order to this day.
00:19:41
Oh, my God. We need it. Please, please. And when he arrives, one of my employees is outside sweeping glass with a pitiful broom.
00:19:49
And the rest of my staff, including myself, are busy inside sweeping, cleaning and making coffee orders.
00:19:55
Colin pokes his head through the gaping hole and says, what the fuck happened? I explained that we had a break in and he says, and you have to stay open.
00:20:04
And then in parentheses, it says, oh, he gets me. He then turns to my employee and motions with his hand to give him the broom.
00:20:15
I'm standing there in a coffee shop with broken glass up to my elbows. Colin Farrell's flat white in hand.
00:20:22
There's his coffee order. Flat white. Watching Colin Farrell sweep glass outside and I speak out loud.
00:20:28
I'm not entirely convinced I'm not dreaming. I hand him his coffee. Our hands graze each other through the handoff.
00:20:35
And I carry on with my day. one of the best days of my life. And then it says, and now for your unexpected pleasure,
00:20:43
an MFM anecdote. So they're transferring just from one of the greatest Colin Farrell stories
00:20:49
I've ever heard. Yeah. Second only to my own where I saw him at the concession stand at the
00:20:54
Arclight. Yes. Into this. For the shortest minute of my life, I worked in an animal hospital.
00:21:01
One busy day, I see this confused man walk in with a dog. He asks if we can help him.
00:21:06
this dog appeared in his on his front lawn and didn't know who they belonged to. I scan the
00:21:11
microchip and let him know I'd be right back. In the back, I make the call and the woman on the
00:21:15
other line gives me the name and the phone number of the owner. She starts to say the name. Karen
00:21:21
Kilgariff? What? My jaw equals floor. You're kidding me. I have Karen Kilgariff's dog in the
00:21:29
hobby and then bam it made sense this dog had three legs it was george oh my god so karen i
00:21:39
sincerely apologize for leaving you the most confusing and disoriented voicemail i was
00:21:44
starstruck by sweet old george and your outgoing message which is literally me going hello you've
00:21:49
reached caracol gareth leave a message goodbye like as fast as i possibly can just kind of funny
00:21:55
All righty. Stay sexy. And when Colin Farrell motions to you to give him the broom, you give him the broom.
00:22:00
Chelsea B. Do you remember that specifically? I remember it. And I remember Chelsea B.'s message because it was during quarantine.
00:22:09
Yeah. So this was like right when people started feeling like it might be okay to see their
00:22:14
friends and actually like be around another outside person. Yeah. Which is so weird.
00:22:20
So Bridger Weininger of I Said No Guest, please listen if you haven't already. He calls and he's like, I'm going to go insane if I stay in my house one minute longer.
00:22:27
And I'm like, let's go to the beach. And so George had a problem slash talent when she had all four legs.
00:22:36
And then apparently when she had all three. That's what I was going to say is I didn't know she fucking was able to do that with three legs.
00:22:43
Yes. So my dog, George, when she had four legs, could climb fences. And I thought my fence was broken because she got out multiple times at my old house.
00:22:52
And my neighbors around me were like, you're the worst dog parent of all time. And I literally was like hiring my next door neighbor, Rick, to come and fix my fence,
00:23:01
even though we were like, OK, let's replace this fence. Now we're replacing this fence.
00:23:05
And then one day Rick is standing in his driveway and he watches George pull herself up over
00:23:10
an eight foot fence, flip herself into his hedge, roll off and then walk up the street.
00:23:17
And he goes, Karen, I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.
00:23:20
I was like, thank you. I'm not a bad dog parent. She's like, this is extraordinary. So this time, this was at a new
00:23:28
house. And essentially, they found there was this weird way out the front that because it was the
00:23:35
first time I'd left the house in two years. Yeah. She's like, fuck this. Where's mom?
00:23:41
She was panicking, I think. And she went and climbed the front fence with three legs,
00:23:47
and then basically walked up the street. This is kind of the funniest thing, and this family was so nice.
00:23:53
She walks up the street and then just goes into these people's yards and lays down,
00:23:58
because she only has three legs. I shouldn't have made this choice. So I'm out of the house for the first time in over two years.
00:24:06
And we're driving home from the beach. So we're like on the 405. And then I see, oh, no, I've gotten four messages.
00:24:14
That can't be good. And the first one was from Chelsea B going, hi, Karen, I work at the blah, blah, blah, animal hospital.
00:24:20
We found your dog. And then I'm like, of course. God, she's okay. Yeah. That's terrifying.
00:24:28
It was pretty terrifying. And then when we pulled up and she was just laying in their front yard, like it was her house, just chilling.
00:24:36
And they had like a little son. I think he was like four, three or four years old, just kind of hanging out with her.
00:24:42
And it was just like as if I had dropped her off at the dog sitter. And now it was picking her up, except for these people.
00:24:47
She had a play date. It was so embarrassing. That's adorable. So embarrassing. The only way that would have been better is if the guy had been single and it had been a meet cute.
00:24:57
Could you imagine? that someone has had to meet that way before, right? Probably. Yeah. Somebody with a true
00:25:04
lunatic, like that dog was, she had a touch of crazy in her where she was just like, yeah,
00:25:09
if you leave me alone for too long, I'm just going to start climbing shit and I don't care.
00:25:15
I got to find you. Yeah. I'm trying to save your life. What are you doing? Leaving the house?
00:25:19
Like you're out in this world by yourself. I don't trust you out in the world. All right.
00:25:24
This last one called Two for One Funeral Director Edition My dad has passed so I feel like I can safely share these stories now My dad worked as a funeral director and one time the mob approached him asking to bury two bodies at once via a hidden
00:25:41
compartment under a casket. Oh, wow. Wow. He said no. Not so much because it was wrong, but because,
00:25:50
quote, once you do one thing for the mob, you're on the hook for life. Yeah. My dad very much enjoyed
00:25:57
not being beholden to anyone. I mean, either way, you're fucked. You say no to the mob,
00:26:03
and then they know that you know a secret. Also, how do you say no to the mob and they don't
00:26:10
make you the third body in the second compartment? Exactly. No, thank you. Okay, guys, you're great. I think you're great. Yeah. I'm just not, that's not me.
00:26:18
Love your work. Love what you do. Just know. And also, was he providing the casket with the
00:26:26
secret compartment or were they? That's a great question. Maybe they have them. Yeah. There was
00:26:32
also a time that he worked at a crematory. The building looked like a generic unlabeled industrial
00:26:38
garage from the outside. One night, the hearse inside was stolen for a joyride. The cops found
00:26:44
it the next day, only a few blocks away, parked on the side of the road with a note inside from
00:26:49
the thieves stating how very sorry they were to have stolen it. This was because there was a body
00:26:54
in the back the whole time. Yeah, they're sorry. Yeah. Very sorry. I still laugh imagining their reaction when they realized It not like teenagers or something you know Yeah yeah Stay sexy and say no to the mob V How How do you say no to the mob No thank you I think it maybe it the
00:27:14
funeral home. It was like an old family funeral home where they've been in the neighborhood for
00:27:17
years. And it was like, guys, you know, I can't get involved in this type of thing. Totally. I
00:27:22
mean, that makes you wonder how many fucking bodies are buried in a trap door in a fucking
00:27:27
casket from the mob. In New Jersey, many. Jimmy Hoffa, he's in a bunk bed. He's just down there
00:27:35
under somebody's great-grandma. Yeah. Someone's Nana died and he... What a batch.
00:27:44
That was a batch, for sure. That was quite a batch. That was. Can you do it too?
