00:00:00
This is exactly right. Isn't some far off concept? It's already here. Next starts now.

Hyundai, an official partner of FIFA. Goodbye. When a charming neurosurgeon rode into Frontier Town
00:00:39
selling a persona of confidence and care, patients trusted him. He wore cowboy boots in the operating room
00:00:45
and became sought after by patients. He promised to heal them. Instead, he left a trail of broken bodies.
00:00:51
This is a story of greed, betrayal, and a fight for justice. Listen to Dr. Death the Cowboy wherever you get your podcasts

00:01:35
Hello! Oh, I went way too early on that one. That's good. This is my favorite murder.
00:01:49
Welcome. Welcome. To my favorite murder. The mini-mini. Nope. The mini-mini. So.
00:01:58
How? How are we getting worse at it? I don't know. Yeah, it's going downhill. Jesus.
00:02:04
Shit. I'll go first this time. You want me to? Yeah. Okay. This one's crazy. I'm not going to reach the subject line.
00:02:12
Hello, friends. I wanted to start by thanking you guys for making me laugh. The older I get, the harder it is to find little moments enjoyable.
00:02:19
Although I've only been listening for about a year, I can't help feeling like I belong.
00:02:23
I was first introduced to your podcast by my best friend's gay uncle. I might be 19, but I already know to, and this is in all caps, always listen to someone's gay uncle.
00:02:34
Wait, did this person just say they're tired of life and they're 19? And they're 19, yes.
00:02:39
Oh, honey, it's time to go to therapy. Honey, look, there's a lot to be tired about these days, whether you're 90 or 19.
00:02:48
Yeah, also yay gay uncles, that's awesome. I mean, the fucking deep wisdom of this 19-year-old who's like always listened to the gay uncles,
00:02:55
That will literally get you everywhere in this life. Truly. Okay. I was listening to Minnesota 336 when I heard the wonderful story about kid in a dryer.
00:03:06
Boy, do I have a lot of appliance-related stories. You see, my father's family has been doing appliance repair for decades.
00:03:14
I'm part of the third generation learning this trade. And with my Latin mother's idea of a work ethic, I've been opening washers, dryers,
00:03:21
dishwashers, and other household appliances since I was five. Ooh. Mm hmm. My summers consisted of sitting in our back lot, tearing apart old appliances to sort and sell the metal to recycling plants.
00:03:33
It wasn't the best place for a 10 year old, but the family needed help. And that's all I could offer.
00:03:39
It wasn't all bad. In the middle of the day, my father would give me and my siblings an hour break to play and just be kids.
00:03:44
With appliances sprawling on our football field size lot, refrigerators look like mountains and dryers look like caves.
00:03:51
We would spend our hours running and jumping from appliance to appliance, imagining the wildest stories, turning the handles of ovens into swords and sheets of metal into shields.
00:04:02
By far, our favorite game was light bulb wars. And then it says it is exactly what it sounds like.
00:04:12
Fucking that's so dangerous. It's like fucking hucking light bulbs. Oh, my. It's like you scream, somebody takes off running, and you just try to peg them with a light bulb.
00:04:25
There's not a better game for children I've ever heard of. With the Hunger Games franchise being at its peak in 2014, every kid loved a fight to the death battle royale.
00:04:35
No mercy kind of game. We would gather light bulbs from the appliances and throw them at each other.
00:04:39
If you got hit, you're out. There were only two rules. No headshots and stay on our property.
00:04:45
As dangerous as this game sounds, nobody got seriously hurt. Oh, that's nice. Yeah.
00:04:50
That's actually a miracle. In one particular game, my brother decided to hide from the rest of the competition.
00:04:57
I remember my dad teaching us not to hide in old refrigerators because doors would latch
00:05:02
from the outside. And before the era of magnetically sealed refrigerators, kids could climb in and suffocate
00:05:08
in the airtight chamber. Oh, yeah. That was a big fear back as children. That was a very special episode of Punky Brewster.
00:05:15
Yes, it was. Yeah. And also, I think there were, in the late 70s, they would run PSAs during cartoons.
00:05:26
Yeah. Where it's like, this is not fun or something like that. It was a real issue.
00:05:31
And then it's illegal to put a refrigerator out without taking the door off now, which is why you see refrigerators on the side of the road without doors.
00:05:39
God, it's almost like we should regulate guns. Anyways. Sorry to get political. One should have as much reform as refrigerators.
00:05:51
As fucking refrigerators. He did tell us that other appliances wouldn kill you because they always have some sort of vent and didn latch from the outside like these 60s death traps I glad my brother remembered that lesson
00:06:06
The unit he decided to seek shelter in was a clothes dryer. I managed to be in the final two, taking out my two sisters and my younger brother.
00:06:15
This is like, oh, you could just feel the importance of this game. I was on the hunt for my older brother.
00:06:20
I searched everywhere and there was no sign of him. Eventually, our hour of play was running out.
00:06:25
We gave up and started yelling that I was forfeiting the game and that he won, but he still wouldn't come out.
00:06:31
Eventually, we had to call the adults to help us. After 10 minutes of searching, my dad and I heard yelling from a dryer that had fallen over on its front with the door facing the ground.
00:06:43
Oh, my God. We flipped it back upright and opened the door. There was my brother, red hot and sweating.
00:06:49
He had been in a dryer for 30 minutes in 90 plus degree dry desert heat of Salt Lake City.
00:06:56
Everyone was okay and our parents still let us play the game. Oh my God. But none of us ever tried climbing into a dryer again.
00:07:06
Stay sexy. Don't hide in old refrigerators and always listen to gay uncles. Levi, he, him.
00:07:13
I, God, I love that story so much. Levi, we need more of your stories, please. Like, please.
00:07:19
We'll just do an extra episode of just Levi's playing stories. Because also, I really love coming from an Irish family who like my dad had a paper route when he was like seven years old.
00:07:29
Like the idea where it's like, hey, sorry, you have to work here. Yeah. It's very common and very like regular.
00:07:37
And so then it makes those periods of time where then you get to just be a kid. Right.
00:07:41
So heightened. And then in that moment, they play, they find a game like light bulb wars.
00:07:48
It's like so high level. Like, oh, I just love that. They had an hour to get like a lunch break to get like all the fun of childhood in.
00:07:58
Yeah. There was like, you know, one rule. Don't go in the fridge. And it was just like fucking all out.
00:08:04
And no headshots. Real nice. No light bulbs to the eyes or face. I think that was one of the greats.
00:08:11
Oh, yeah. That was pretty epic. I love that. Wow. uh this one's called clock tower murder weapon treasure trove oh bonjour friends
00:08:22
oh i'm in the middle of listening to minisode 338 and you just asked for things found in clock
00:08:28
stories what i don't know listen i have about a million things to do as we speak but i had to hit
00:08:37
pause on the minisode and the shit i have to do to tell you this story buckle up nice my dad was a
00:08:43
clockmaker, which means he didn't make clocks, he fixed them. Interesting. Also known as a
00:08:50
horologist. He was always the youngest guy in the business, as unfortunately, horology is a dying
00:08:57
art and there are less and less schools and clockmakers left to pass on the tradition.
00:09:02
This means that his contemporaries were all old dudes with old stories. Sounds boring, right?
00:09:08
Not this time. One of the older gentlemen he worked closely with had the contract to fix and upkeep the
00:09:14
clock in the clock tower in our city. It was a big job as the city had neglected the old clock for many years.
00:09:21
I think this is how Back to the Future starts. They just start describing the movie.
00:09:25
Yeah. It was upstairs in the original courthouse that had an entranceway through a small hatch
00:09:32
in a supply closet in the men's bathroom. That's how old it was. It was like, yeah, women don't need to go.
00:09:39
What are they going to do? Fix the clock? I don't think so. The first time he entered the hatch, he had to climb a steep, dusty wooden staircase up
00:09:48
to the landing where the clock was. At the top of the landing was a section of plaster wall with many names and dates scrawled
00:09:55
into it from the 1900s through the 1940s. Years later, I got to go up in the tower with my dad and I saw this myself.
00:10:03
It was beautiful and eerie at the same time. And then it says, I have a grainy picture of it on an old Blackberry somewhere.
00:10:09
Well, this time capsule wall was a treasure in itself. That wasn't the best part.
00:10:14
The story goes, as he started moving dusty crates and boxes to clear some space to work
00:10:19
on the clock, he noticed what was actually in the boxes. He saw a rusty old axe, an old knife, and then he read the label on the box he had in
00:10:29
his hands. It said evidence. What? What my dad's friend had inadvertently found himself in the middle of was the storage room for the old courthouse.
00:10:42
They used the clock tower to store evidence from the trials. What? He found boxes upon boxes of murder weapons and physical evidence for trials as early as 1850 when the courthouse was built.
00:10:56
Okay, sorry. What's wrong with the basement? the clock tower that you can only access through the men's bathroom trap door.
00:11:06
Yeah. Yeah. That's a great place to play. Let's hide it is essentially what they,
00:11:10
yeah. Maybe they just like, I wonder if there's, I wonder if there's logic to that. That's like,
00:11:15
you just don't want whoever going in there. Maybe it was cases that had already been like
00:11:19
tried and, you know, convicted and they thought they wouldn't need them anymore.
00:11:23
It's fascinating. Yeah. No one seemed to think this was a bad idea at the time. And when the new courthouse was built just a block away, they must have chosen or forgotten
00:11:32
to do anything with the old evidence they had stashed up in the sketchy stairs. Needless to say, my dad's friend left that day and made some calls to the local authorities.
00:11:40
And one of the local museums came to collect the weapons cash he had found. My dad told me this story when I was a teenager, and I will never forget it.
00:11:49
What my little murderino heart would have done to go back and see that room the way it was
00:11:54
when it was found sadly my dad passed away a few years ago so I not able to ask him if he found anything good in any of the clocks that he fixed over the years Anyway I love you ladies and all
00:12:05
that you do. Thanks for helping me get through the loss of my dad. I literally could not have
00:12:09
done it without you. Stay sexy and don't forget the murder weapons in the clock tower.
00:12:15
Rochelle. Well, Rochelle, I'm sorry you lost your dad, but great story. Also kind of legendary dad
00:12:23
career. Oh, for sure. Fascinating. Yeah. It's like kids who know about cars because their dads are
00:12:28
interested in cars. What's that like? Yeah, I don't know. It's like I wouldn't know. She knows
00:12:34
everything about clocks. That's so cool. Yeah. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA
00:12:41
World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent, the future soccer
00:12:45
stars who are already turning heads at age 14, making plays that end up on everyone's feed,
00:12:50
scoring from angles that don't make sense, rewriting record books that barely had time
00:12:54
to gather dust. Because Next doesn't wait for an invitation, and Hyundai doesn't either.
00:12:58
Hyundai has always moved the future within reach. Hyundai did it by making advanced safety standard
00:13:03
on every vehicle. Hyundai did it by engineering EVs with ultra-fast charging capability. And Hyundai
00:13:09
continues doing it every day. From robotics that change how people live to young athletes changing
00:13:14
the game, the future isn't some far-off concept. It's already here. Next starts now. Hyundai,

Quince.com slash MFM. Goodbye. Okay. This is Carnival Rock Climbing Wall Story. Hello.
00:15:37
Since you've been asking for carnival stories, here you go. Oh, great. We did that too. Years ago, when I was about 20, I went to the county fair with a group of my friends. We did all the fair things, but saved the rides for last so it would be cooler and all of the children would be home in bed.
00:15:53
Yeah, man, that's cooler. At the very end of the night, we rode the zipper one last time before heading home.
00:16:00
As we walked to the parking lot, we passed the climbing wall. All of my friends told me that I had to try the challenge climb because you could win a prize if you reached the top.
00:16:09
Even though I've been rock climbing for years, maybe nine or ten at the time, I refused to try it because it was obviously a scam and rigged to be impossible.
00:16:18
Plus, it was $10 for two minutes of my embarrassing misery. My friend paid before I could stop him.
00:16:25
So I was committed. I had literally just gotten off the zipper. So I was still a little woozy, but I kicked off my flip flops, put on a harness and clipped in.
00:16:34
The wall itself was made of slick plastic and the small rocks bolted to the wall were also slippery.
00:16:40
I managed to stick to the wall with my feet. And then a parentheses says literally so gross.
00:16:46
I know. And then it says, He turned and disappeared into the dark behind the climbing wall.
00:17:20
As we waited for him to return, carnival workers started wandering over since their rides had closed down for the night.
00:17:26
Word was spreading that someone had done the challenge climb. Before I knew it, two carnival workers had hoisted me onto their sweaty shoulders and were marching me around.
00:17:35
It was surreal. After they put me down, someone told me that I was the first person that entire summer to do the challenge climb.
00:17:43
but it was quote pretty sad that it was a girl who was the first one oh thanks dude the first guy
00:17:50
eventually emerged from the darkness with my prize an xbox what yeah holy shit that why they had to make that wall so slippery they can just be giving those things out Yeah And then it says ellipses which I sold to my brother best friend
00:18:06
Yeah. Love you all so much, including all of the murderinos. Stay sexy, ride the zipper, and give in to peer pressure.
00:18:15
Love, A. That's rad. The triumph of that story is like heartwarming. Yeah, I think people that work at the fair or carnival, they've seen a lot of shit.
00:18:28
They're not just going to throw any old kid up on their shoulders and parade them around.
00:18:32
Like, that's a big deal. Definitely. Oh, my God. OK, this one's called Sleepwalking in My Hometown and Others.
00:18:40
Karen, Georgia, Stephen. Longtime listener, even longer time sleepwalker. Sleepwalking stories have been my go to for icebreakers and party small talk for years.
00:18:51
and I thought they might be up your alley too. Sleepwalking for me is typically similar to when
00:18:56
you wake up on Saturday and think you're late for work. I bolt out of bed in panic, eventually
00:19:01
collect myself and go back to bed. Some nights I do this as often as once an hour. Great for anxiety.
00:19:08
Oh no. Can you imagine? Once a month or so, however, sleep me really raises the stakes.
00:19:15
I have a million of them, but my favorite is a few years ago, I was in a hotel alone in Minneapolis.
00:19:21
Obviously, my memory of this is spotty, but my version goes like this. In the middle of the night, someone knocked on my door.
00:19:28
I went to see who it was and got locked in the hallway. I knocked on my own door forever to get back in before waking up and realizing no one was
00:19:37
in there to let me in. I woke up sitting at the foot of a bed watching an old martial arts movie.
00:19:44
I flinched when I heard from nearby, are you back? Are you with me? A man sitting on the corner of the other bed passed me the phone.
00:19:52
I'm not sure how long I had been there, but this very patient guy waited with me until I was awake.
00:19:57
Oh my God. And says, I assume I knocked on his door and then talked gibberish until he parked me in front of the TV.
00:20:04
Because I didn't fully have my bearings yet, I tried to call my room a few times before realizing, duh, I'm not there to answer it.
00:20:12
my new best friend called the front desk for me and they sent someone to take me back to my room
00:20:19
one floor up holy shit who knows how many doors i knocked on and if i took the elevator or the
00:20:26
stairs but this guy really did me a solid by staying chill and not murdering me and who knows
00:20:33
maybe he even let me pick the movie i'm sure he's been telling this story ever since too
00:20:38
Oh, and everyone always asked what I was wearing. Quit being weird. I had on shorts and a t-shirt.
00:20:45
Quit being weird. Okay. Quit being weird. Some other quick sleepwalking greatest hits.
00:20:51
I fell asleep on the CTA red line train in Chicago, took it to the end of the line, got
00:20:57
out and walked a block. Oh. Took all the clothes out of a dresser drawer, stuck them in a suitcase and put the suitcase
00:21:03
at my front door. woke up with my pockets full of granola bar wrappers assumed i'd eaten them all found the
00:21:10
box full of unwrapped bars safely in the cabinet later can you imagine asleep you walk in the
00:21:16
kitchen and there's just someone fucking like your remaining out just making all those granola bars
00:21:21
stale immediately and the last one is texted a friend oh no whitney houston died like five years
00:21:28
after she died. It's still affecting all of us to this day. Truly, truly stay sexy and in bed,
00:21:36
Ryan. Oh, man. I love sleepwalk stories. Send them please. That is it's so it must be really
00:21:44
unnerving. It must be scary. Oh, my God. The only thing that ever happened to me that was like,
00:21:50
I could understand that from as I once woke up on the couch. It's like a teenager, like I was
00:21:56
sleeping, the phone started ringing, and I started grabbing for the cordless phone that was sitting on
00:22:01
the couch. And I just kept grabbing it. And I couldn't pick it up. And I couldn't answer the
00:22:05
phone. And as I'm coming to I realized I was grabbing my foot. It was just my foot that I
00:22:11
thought was the cordless phone. And it was the fucking weirdest. It was ringing, but the phone
00:22:18
was like somewhere else. But well, I just was like trying to answer my foot. And basically,
00:22:21
you went from understanding what's happening in dream to like you you watched yourself come up out
00:22:29
of that and then that's the weird thing normally we don't experience the switching from dreaming to
00:22:35
being awake right and you like basically had to come to oh i was just like what is happening in
00:22:42
the hell okay the subject line of this email is my dad has an 80s era world record good morning
00:22:49
ladies. Good morning. I like that. I'm writing you from the sweaty underbust of America, South Texas.
00:23:00
Oh, it's so hot there. I was listening to the latest episode called Why Pigeons? And you every
00:23:08
time I hear those titles. And y'all were saying how big the Guinness Book of World Records was in
00:23:14
the 80s and I knew I needed to write in. My dad was born in 65 and grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah.
00:23:20
As you can imagine, being a Mormon teenager in the 80s was quite boring. They didn't drink,
00:23:25
didn't do drugs, and didn't really get into any trouble whatsoever. So what else do you do? You
00:23:29
break a world record, of course. Imagine it. The year is 1982. My dad and his friends were 16 through
00:23:36
17. They decided to break a world record for jumping on the trampoline as a group. They called
00:23:42
the guinness people i don't know if they have official names and they set a date a few a few
00:23:47
weeks later a guinness guy came out and watched seven teenagers jump on a trampoline for 37 hours
00:23:54
all of this is a time capsule That is insane. My dad said that they were allowed 10 minutes every hour to go to the bathroom, get food, etc.
00:24:06
But one of them had to be jumping at all times. So they took staggered breaks. After 37 hours, they called it and they were officially the world record holders for a group trampoline jumping.
00:24:18
My dad still has the plaque that they give you. And this is his number one go to party story.
00:24:24
Yeah. Hell yeah. I love it. Yeah, it is. You walk through the door of that party yelling, I am a Guinness World Record holder.
00:24:33
They were the only world record holders for a few weeks. And then someone else jumped for longer than them.
00:24:39
But oh my God, that's heartbreaking. That is heartbreaking. For a few weeks, you don't even get it for a year.
00:24:46
Totally. But those few weeks were the most glorious of their teenage lives. Thanks for all you do.
00:24:53
I look forward to episodes every week. So I have something to listen to while my toddler watches Blippi.
00:24:59
Megan. Oh, my God. Blippi. That is great. I just love that our listeners know the assignment.
00:25:09
Yes. Like, we didn't ask. We just talked about it for a minute. And then, of course, we want to know your fucking dad's world record story.
00:25:16
Of course we do. We want to know, was your dad the Guinness guy that went to watch teenagers trampoline

jump for 37 hours? Yes. What about that story? What was his life? Was he on the road all the time finding rando Guinness fucking people?
00:25:28
Did he have a special stopwatch? Did he have a backup stopwatch? Like a clipboard?
00:25:33
What's the deal? Anything. What is going on? Anything at all. Oh my God. Amazing.

article.com. Goodbye. By now, you've probably heard of Reef. They've been making iconic sandals forever.
00:27:35
But what you might not know is that they also make ridiculously comfortable everyday shoes.
00:27:39
The Neptune is a lightweight everyday slip-on shoe with a crushed back heel, so you can
00:27:43
wear it traditionally or step on the heel and wear it like a slide. Lightweight, breathable and easy to wear. The Neptune is the everyday shoe your feet have been
00:27:50
waiting for. I feel like so often you have to sacrifice cuteness for comfort, which is so
00:27:55
annoying because I want both all the time. Everything has to be cute, but also I'm old and
00:28:00
I want comfortable shoes. So I feel like the Neptunes are the perfect answer to that.
00:28:04
Yeah, I love how cushy they are. They're like, they go with everything. They're really cute,
00:28:08
but your feet are like on little clouds. Check out the Neptune on reef.com and redeem 15% off your first purchase.
00:28:15
Goodbye. Okay, my last one's called Afterlife Story. I let my child watch someone die.
00:28:24
And then it says, instead of lighthearted, it says happy. Okay, if you insist, it doesn't sound great right now.
00:28:32
I gotta tell you. Yeah. Hi there. You asked for afterlife stories. So here's a sweet one.
00:28:38
I will never forget Nine years ago we said goodbye to my papa During his final moments as he passed away my son Rockwell only a year old at the time was in the room And I remember worrying if he should be there
00:28:50
at all as we were all grieving, crying and weeping. And I didn't want to upset him. But he was quiet
00:28:56
and calm. So I thought he's just a baby. He won't remember any of this. Then fast forward a few
00:29:01
years. He's three years old. I'm scrolling on Facebook and this picture of my papa holding him
00:29:07
his newborn pops up and Rockwell asked to see it. After looking it over a minute, he said,
00:29:12
Hey, I like that guy. I told him this was his great papa who had been as a little baby,
00:29:18
but was now in heaven. Oh, yeah, I know. He replied matter of factly. I paused and said,
00:29:25
you know, because I had never really talked to him about his papa dying or the fact that he was in
00:29:29
the room when it happened. It says, because why would you? Yeah, exactly. And then with the
00:29:34
innocent genuineness only a child can possess, he looked up at me with sweet, sincere eyes and said
00:29:40
very seriously, yes, I know, mama. I was there and I saw all the angels that day.
00:29:49
I was simultaneously hit with disbelief, a little freaked out and emotional all at once.
00:29:54
I just started bawling. Quote, everyone was so sad, but the angels weren't and he was happy.
00:30:00
he said and shrugged and went back to playing a game on his tablet. He's 10 years old now.
00:30:07
And when I asked him about it, he doesn't remember. But I truly believe he saw, quote, all the angels that day.
00:30:13
Stay sexy and know that sometimes kids see things we don't. Courtney. Courtney. Oh.
00:30:20
And he was happy. And he was happy. Similar to the one from the last show we just recorded.
00:30:25
