00:02:26
When I was a junior at the University of Iowa, it says go Hawks, I was at Mickey's Irish Pub in
00:02:31
downtown Iowa City for a late night beer during Halloween weekend. Picture racy costumes, low
00:02:37
lighting, Mo Bamba playing way too loud, and the smell of sweat and burnt popcorn, all well enclosed
00:02:44
in this packed as hell hole in the wall bar. Sweat and burnt popcorn. That really paints a picture.
00:02:51
Yeah, and like stale beer too. And just loud shouting small talk. Well, at the bar ordering drinks, I look over and there is my pre-med beautiful hot ass crush
00:03:02
standing right next to me, also ordering drinks. Courage fed by alcohol consumed prior in the night
00:03:08
told me that this was the moment to make a move. After a flirty, oh, hey, cowboy. And then it says,
00:03:15
it's Halloween in Iowa. Cowboy costumes are a given. We start chatting it up. Things were going
00:03:20
great except for this drunk guy behind me who I felt like kept trying to grab my cross-body purse.
00:03:25
When he would move away, my purse would follow. Confident and not wanting to break away from this
00:03:30
conversation for even a second, I grabbed the base of my purse and pulled exceptionally hard.
00:03:36
Something ripped, something fell, and a drunk guy yelled, I'm free. Our conversation started to wane when I began really aggressively coughing.
00:03:45
Pre-med hottie also began aggressively coughing. Many people around us also began really aggressively coughing.
00:03:52
And then I heard the bartender scream, all caps, pepper spray, everyone out of the bar now.
00:03:59
Turns out drunk guy was not trying to steal my purse, but rather was stuck on my pepper spray bottle
00:04:03
that conveniently hung on the outside of my purse. And when I pulled really hard, he pulled really hard
00:04:09
because when I looked at the ground, there she was. My beautiful, but dazzled pepper spray bottle was laying in pieces, oozing orange liquid.
00:04:17
Dude. Mickey's ended up having to close down the bar for the rest of the night. It's a clean and pre-med hottie went home with someone else.
00:04:25
Yeah, he did. Sad. Stay sexy and put your mace in your bag at crowded bars. B-G-A.
00:04:32
Yes, B-G-A. Please. What? God damn it. They're like, we're finally going to make our quota on Halloween night.
00:04:41
We're going to sell all the shitty beer. Oh, I need the tip so I can pay rent. No.
00:04:45
Someone had to dangle their bear spray outside of their purse. Come on. Be a team player.
00:04:52
Okay. Oh, I like this one. The subject line is, yes, you have a listener from Iran.
00:04:57
Oh. And then it says, a near-death protesting story. Dear Karen, Georgia, and all the kind people and creatures in the world.
00:05:04
Wow, everybody. Everyone. I was listening to episode 349 while driving to work on a sad snowy day
00:05:10
and suddenly heard you talking about what's happening in Iran. For a moment, my heart melted
00:05:15
and I started to cry. So I started writing this email the moment I got to work, exclamation point.
00:05:21
Now that you know about what's going in Iran, boy, do I have a story for you. About two months ago,
00:05:25
my boyfriend and I went to the ceremony for the 40th day of the death of one of the protesters,
00:05:30
whose name was Masa Mogui. And she was only 18 when she got killed by Iran's regime.
00:05:36
We were protesting along a big highway on the other side of the cemetery. I saw this video.
00:05:41
We may have talked about this video. It's unbelievable. There's just the government said that they could not demonstrate or whatever.
00:05:48
Cuz on the 40th day after someone dies, you do like, I guess a procession to the where they buried And it was like everybody I mean it was just tens of thousands of people going down this road So we were protesting along a big highway on the other side of the cemetery Everything was as usual
00:06:06
And then parentheses, it says, yeah, the protesting, the death of young people is a normal thing.
00:06:11
Sarcasm. Then for a moment, I saw thousands of people running in the opposite direction of where we were all going.
00:06:17
I got confused, but all I was trying to do was not lose my boyfriend and keep my calm.
00:06:21
So we decided to slowly follow the people to the highway and not run. Half of the way, I felt the tear gas in the air.
00:06:28
And with the fucked up lungs that I have, I simply just could not walk anymore. So I looked up and saw no one on the highway.
00:06:35
From those thousands of people, literally no one was left. I panicked and looked back to see about 50 police with guns
00:06:41
aiming at me from about 20 meters away. For a second, I was looking at the one in front of me
00:06:47
and I can clearly remember the look in his face and a demon in his eyes. I thought to myself, well, this is probably the end for me here and just did not want to die while looking in that man's eyes.
00:06:57
So I slowly turned to see my boyfriend literally on the highway with a tire in his hands, walking and looking for something on the ground.
00:07:05
He didn't even see the police coming. So I shouted his name. And when he saw the police, he ran towards me, grabbed my hands, and we ran all the way to the other side to join the protesters.
00:07:16
All these moments I was convinced, and then it says in all caps, we are going to get shot.
00:07:22
I just accepted my fate and was thinking about my mom and how her heart will break with my death.
00:07:27
I do not know what happened and what stopped them from shooting us, but it was all a miracle.
00:07:32
But not all the people were as lucky as us. Later that day, a woman got shot and died in that same ceremony we attended.
00:07:38
Story short, I did not learn my lesson and we still keep protesting anytime we can.
00:07:44
I'm sorry if the email was long and sorry for my bad English. I started listening to your podcast to improve my English.
00:07:50
Oh no. And have been in love with it ever since. Thank you for what you're doing every day and caring about others with love, Pari.
00:07:59
And then she did hashtag Masa Amini, hashtag Women Life Freedom and hashtag Stop Execution
00:08:06
in Iran. Oh my God. That's someone that is on the front lines during this revolution.
00:08:13
It's unbelievable. Thank you, Pari. That is so powerful. How terrifying. That whole country is standing up against that regime.
00:08:22
It's, I mean, seeing those videos, there's lots of it on TikTok, which is so cool that you can actually kind of
00:08:28
check in that way. And it's incredible. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer,
00:08:36
Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent. The future soccer stars who are already turning heads at age 14.
00:08:41
Making plays that end up on everyone's feed, scoring from angles that don't make sense, rewriting record books that barely had time to gather dust.
00:08:49
Because Next doesn't wait for an invitation, and Hyundai doesn't either. Hyundai has always moved the future within reach.
00:08:55
Hyundai did it by making advanced safety standard on every vehicle. Hyundai did it by engineering EVs with ultra-fast charging capability.
00:09:02
And Hyundai continues doing it every day. From robotics that change how people live to young athletes changing the game, the future isn't some far-off concept.
00:09:11
It's already here. Next starts now. Hyundai, an official partner of FIFA. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Mafia poodle. Howdy. I was just listening to Minisode 311 where you told a story about a little boy who returned Sam Giancana's lost dog.
00:10:41
I immediately had to pause the Minisode and write you because I knew I would forget to send this in otherwise.
00:10:46
Thank you, ADHD. Anyways, did you ask for more Mafia dog stories? No. Well, here you go anyways. You're welcome. Background. My grandpa Bill was a character who
00:10:57
had a number of bizarre exploits, both legal and otherwise. Despite all of Bill's pursuits,
00:11:03
he was a pretty good father to my dad, who while growing up was generally kept away from anything
00:11:08
too salacious. However, Bill did introduce my dad to a couple of his more colorful friends.
00:11:13
This story is about one of Bill's friends, Albert Obi Fraboda. As a child, my dad had the pleasure
00:11:19
of visiting Obi's swanky downtown apartment. He recalls sitting at the kitchen counter
00:11:23
where Obi's wife fed him ice cream while Obi and Bill chatted. By the end of his first visit,
00:11:29
Obi had even gifted my dad his first set of golf clubs. Years later, my dad stumbled across Obi's obituary
00:11:35
in the Chicago Tribune. The obituary clarified that Obi was not, in fact, one of my grandpa's normal gambling buddies.
00:11:42
No, Obi was actually an original member of the infamous 42 gang and a known Chicago hitman
00:11:48
an enforcer. In addition to that little murdery chestnut, the obituary recalled the single instance
00:11:54
where Obi had cooperated with the police When in 1967 two young thugs mugged Obi and stole his beloved companion a gray toy poodle named Susie In need of assistance a sheepish and bruised Obi called
00:12:09
the police under an alias. Responding to the call, officers arrived at the hospital where Obi was
00:12:14
recovering to take a statement. Evidently, the officers didn't recognize Obi from any of his
00:12:19
45 arrests, conviction as a bank robber, nor from the six different murders for which he had been a
00:12:26
suspect. He must have had one of those faces. Anyways, the officers were so obliging that they
00:12:33
went as far as allowing Ovi to jump in the squad car for a ride along so they could look for poor
00:12:37
Susie. Unfortunately, the officers didn't find Susie and subsequently an underworld manhunt began
00:12:43
in an effort to capture and likely dispose of the dognappers. Yeah, I bet. I can only assume that the muggers literally shit themselves
00:12:52
when they realized whose poodle they had purloined. Regrettably, I don't know if Odie and Susie were ever reunited.
00:12:59
However, given Obi's rap sheet, I wouldn't be surprised if the muggers responsible met a premature demise.
00:13:05
Stay sexy and don't kidnap mafia poodles, Tori. I mean, so dangerous, so dangerous.
00:13:12
Mm-hmm. That idea that he's like, well, I need help finding my dog, but then it's very shameful
00:13:20
to have been dog-napped. Yeah. I didn't know that shit went on back then. I mean, it's eternal.
00:13:26
Everybody wants other people's dogs. Yeah. I'm not going to read you the subject line of this.
00:13:31
It just starts, hello, badass boss ladies and all MFM ER staff. You accompanied me on many a road trip when I was catching up on episodes, and now you
00:13:40
join me for morning coffee every Monday and Thursday. I'm here for all of it and I thank
00:13:45
you for what you've created. I wrote in years ago, but no dice. Alas, I'll give it another go
00:13:50
and hope for the best. I love it. Got a real poet here. When I was 16, maybe 15, I was beyond
00:13:58
thrilled to get my first job outside of babysitting as a clerk at a video rental store.
00:14:03
Oh, what a rad job. Just fucking legendary. And then it's all caps, dream job at that age.
00:14:10
I don't feel that old, but I realize as I reference a video store that maybe I am.
00:14:15
Sigh. One fateful Friday evening, the store was packed with moms and kids picking out the latest titles to entertain them for the weekend.
00:14:22
Such a specific vibe that will never exist again. You'll never understand. Just like trying to figure out if you can get your mom to buy you like red vines.
00:14:31
Right. Or like those greasy single packages of popcorn, microwavable popcorn. Yeah.
00:14:36
Like, come on, we make it a night. Yeah. It'll be so fun. I need goobers. Wasn't that a candy?
00:14:43
Yeah. That is a very movie theater specific candy too, the goobers and snow caps.
00:14:48
Yes. I was working the register and there was a steady stream of customers at the counter.
00:14:54
Suddenly, the air started to look a bit hazy. Then more so, an odd smell became faintly present.
00:15:01
The customers were oblivious. I looked at a coworker and asked, is that smoke? He looked up, looked around, sniffed and said, yeah, I think it is.
00:15:09
I think there's a fire in here. Calm. Teenagers in charge. Oh, Jesus. It quickly became very obvious that there was a fire in the store as the space between the
00:15:21
shelves and the ceiling was now dense with smoke. Insanely, none of the customers seemed to notice and were still casually browsing the
00:15:29
aisles, corralling their kids away from the candy and standing in line to check out.
00:15:33
I was dumbstruck. Despite my fledgling self-confidence as a teenager in a store full of adults,
00:15:39
I pulled it together and loudly announced, Folks, the store is on fire. Please exit immediately.
00:15:44
A few customers left, but most of them just looked around like, Huh, what? But my movies.
00:15:50
As my coworker called 911, several customers remained in line and insisted I check them out before exiting the building.
00:15:57
Come on. They gotta have fucking dirty dancing for that weekend. One after another, they pleaded, can't you just bring me out quickly?
00:16:06
Finally, I could hear the firetruck nearing, and I made the decision that a few DVDs and VHS tapes weren't worth the rising panic I was experiencing.
00:16:14
Not sure why I hadn't fucked politeness earlier, I resigned myself to their apparently vital need for these films and called out, just take them.
00:16:22
Take them for free. I'm not checking anyone else out. Just get your movies and get out of the store.
00:16:28
A few hesitated as if not paying for the rental was a bridge too far. But somehow staying in a burning building was perfectly fine.
00:16:36
As I moved to the exit, it seemed to hit home for them that standing in a checkout line with no clerk behind the desk was pointless.
00:16:42
I held the door to make sure everyone was out, then pieced out myself right as the fire trucks pulled in.
00:16:48
From the parking lot, I could see the flames of the fire piercing through the center of the roof and roaring just under the shingles.
00:16:56
It was like an attic fire. Holy shit. The firemen and women made quick work of those flames and now safely out of the building with no one hurt.
00:17:03
I had all the drama my little teenage heart could handle. Turns out it was an electrical fire in the wiring above the false ceiling.
00:17:11
We spent weeks mitigating the store with orange smelling special cleaner, only to have the same issue occur again on reopening night.
00:17:20
Thankfully, I wasn't working that night and the store closed for good after that.
00:17:24
To this day, I cannot understand what made those customers choose video rentals over safety.
00:17:29
Was this some kind of groupthink situation? Or possibly do people want to feel safe so badly that they will deny the danger they can see and smell right in front of them?
00:17:39
Whatever it is, this wasn't the only emergency situation I've experienced where others seem to dismiss or downplay the severity of the situation for far longer than is reasonable.
00:17:50
Anyway, stay sexy and remember, renting a movie isn't worth smoke inhalation, even if it is the new Harry Potter Kate Holy shit Yeah teenagers in charge Also I think it is that thing of if you want people to get out of the store one person has to just be definitive and this is what happening
00:18:08
The idea that they're just leaving employees to figure out what the emergency route is going to be for everybody.
00:18:15
What the hell? Oh my God, terrifying. Ring an alarm. This is called Hidden Treasure, a small birthday surprise.
00:18:23
Hello, all. I've always enjoyed a hidden treasure story. And so I thought I would submit mine.
00:18:28
Last year on our birthday, my twin brother and I went thrifting at our favorite local thrift store.
00:18:33
It's a place called Share House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I love that city. And it is a thrift
00:18:39
store, but it's also a nonprofit and all their proceeds go towards helping unhoused individuals.
00:18:44
They have everything you could ever need. Vintage clothes, Georgia, looking at you.
00:18:49
Furniture, decorations, toys, and tons of knickknacks you never knew you needed.
00:18:54
Interestingly, there are no prices on the items. The staff chooses a price when you are checking out, and you have the opportunity to negotiate a bit.
00:19:02
It's quite fun, and all their prices are extremely reasonable. During our trip, we perused the entire store, usually not looking for anything in particular, but letting divine intervention lead the way.
00:19:12
I was looking at some hanging sweatshirts and noticed a little pink envelope sticking out of a hoodie pocket.
00:19:19
Intrigued, I investigated, and initially I thought it was just a price tag. until I pulled it out. And inside, there was $20 with a little note that read,
00:19:28
this is a random act of kindness. Today is my birthday, and I wanted to spread some joy
00:19:32
and happiness, so please spend this $20 on whatever you like. I was tickled. It was so
00:19:38
generous, and I was so grateful, especially because it was our birthday too. I used the $20
00:19:43
to purchase my brother a little birdcage, and I bought myself some shoes. The kindness of a
00:19:48
stranger really had an impact because I told everyone about it. That is my hidden treasure
00:19:53
story. This upcoming year for our birthday, my brother and I are planning on leaving little
00:19:57
envelopes at our favorite places in hopes that it will brighten someone's day. Nice.
00:20:02
Stay sexy and leave hidden treasure for people to find. And then it says M is her name. And then
00:20:07
it says M Grant, who's not a listener yet. Grant, get over here. That's actually a really lovely thing to do for your own birthday.
00:20:15
Yeah. It's like doing something generous and practicing generosity actually is a lovely gift to oneself.
00:20:25

All right, here's my last one. Here we go. I'm not going to read the subject line.
00:22:53
It says, hey, gals, this is the best story, and I cannot believe I didn't remember it until now.
00:22:58
Way back in the late 80s, when my very cool twin aunts, Katie and Susie, were in their 20s, they were hanging out at home on Saturday night
00:23:05
doing the things that people did at the time before the internet. Susie was downstairs in the living room reading a book,
00:23:11
and Katie was upstairs in her room. As Susie was reading, she heard rustling in the kitchen, then a clank of metal.
00:23:17
She knew that sound very well. It was the top of their pastry dish lifting off of its platter.
00:23:22
Susie was furious. She had told Katie not to touch her cupcakes as she made them for a friend's housewarming party.
00:23:28
Susie slammed her book down and ran into the kitchen to confront her sister. Katie, do not fucking touch those cupcakes.
00:23:35
But as soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw a man dressed in all black, gingerly holding the pastry top.
00:23:41
Susie terrified and only wearing a t-shirt and cotton undies was stunned still. As she tells it, it was the power of her dead father channeling through her
00:23:51
that eventually yelled, get the fuck out of my house. Then the terrified would be thief dropped the pastry top onto the floor and
00:23:58
ran out the back door. There was a moment of silence and then Susie heard Katie from upstairs.
00:24:03
Would you shut up about those cupcakes? It's now a story told fondly at family gatherings,
00:24:09
but Susie still says how baffled she is that she fully yelled at the robber. Luckily, she's never had to test her skills with would-be thieves again.
00:24:17
