00:01:35
Hello! And welcome. My favorite murder. Did you forget your line? Yes. Well, I was like, how do we do the minisode?
00:01:54
Do we just do it? We say that after we say the title? And I say my favorite murder, and then you go, the mini-sode, right?
00:02:01
That's right. Here's the thing, I don't listen to this podcast. You shouldn't. I think that's a rule.
00:02:08
Don't listen to your own bullshit. Yeah, that's right. Don't go all the way up there.
00:02:12
Yeah. The mini-sode. There we go. That sounds familiar. You did it. Oof. Yeah, we read you your stories.
00:02:19
This is our first recording of 2023, so clearly we're both a little rusty. We've been on vacation for, it really feels like it.
00:02:28
I've been vacationing for two weeks. Yeah, totally. 10 days? Yeah. 14 days. What day is it?
00:02:35
It's the day to get back into recording mini-sodes. And I'm ready for it. I love it.
00:02:39
Let's do it. You want to go first? Sure. The subject line of this email is satisfying sting operation.
00:02:45
And it says, hello, fellow humans. It was 2016 and I was a 17-year-old working college student.
00:02:51
I volunteered at my church and was the youth ministry leader at the time. I led full weekend retreats and really gave all my free time to my former church.
00:03:00
I had just gotten off work at 3 a.m. to 12 p.m. shift. That's graveyard. That's rough.
00:03:08
And I was walking to my car when I saw my male church leader who was about 37. I was just about to drive to the church to prep for our meeting,
00:03:16
and I did not expect him to show up at my work unannounced. I asked him what he was doing there, and I wondered how he knew when I was working.
00:03:24
He offered to drive me to McDonald's to eat before the meeting, but my gut said, hell no.
00:03:28
I was young and too nice, so I politely said we can walk there since it's only across the street.
00:03:34
He said driving would be easier, but I was insistent and we ended up walking. He offered to pay, and I was so freaked out by the situation that I started to call everyone that was preparing for the meeting to see if they also wanted some free McDonald's.
00:03:48
Nice. Let me bribe you to get involved in this problem. To my horror, no one answered.
00:03:54
We got the food and walked back where we got into our separate cars. This situation felt so uncomfortable, but when I told people, they seemed to brush it off as a nice gesture since he bought breakfast.
00:04:05
I never felt the same around him after that. A little over a year later, in October 2017, he and nine other men were arrested in a police sting operation for, quote, traveling to meet a minor for lewd or lascivious behavior.
00:04:22
Holy shit. I felt very validated. Yeah. After hearing that and always wondered what his true motive was visiting a 17-year-old alone in her work parking lot.
00:04:34
Guess. We can all guess. You knew. Yeah. Your gut knew and your brain knew and you knew.
00:04:39
Our church tried to keep everything a secret. Oh, God damn. That has to stop. Sitting us down and saying we should pray for him.
00:04:47
My mom was the one who did the research to find the details of why he was arrested.
00:04:51
A few months later, our elder church leader said, he misses us and I was disgusted.
00:04:56
I told her how I felt and she said, only God can judge. That's not true. Sadly, that's not true at all.
00:05:03
Try it. It's fun. And it gets me through my day. That's right. I left the church soon afterwards, and now I'm on a spiritual journey,
00:05:12
staying away from organized religions since they feel culty to me. I am a longtime listener and a new fan cult member.
00:05:19
You two are the only cult leaders I will follow. Thank you. Great, because we'll never show up at your work.
00:05:26
We will. We promise. Stay sexy and fuck politeness. V from Long Beach, she, her.
00:05:33
Wow. I was picturing this like in the South or something. I don't know why that's a stereotype, but Long Beach.
00:05:42
We are thinking maybe people who are used to living kind of cultural church-based lives.
00:05:48
That's right. I mean, I guess Long Beach, is that the OC? No, it's Long Beach. Oh, okay.
00:05:55
I know they love their religion down in the OC Yeah they sure do But it light L Yeah Wow that was a good one Yeah Trust your gut Yes please do
00:06:06
Please listen to yourself always. Okay, this one's called Bank Cocaine with an exclamation mark.
00:06:13
Come on with this title. This story has to get picked up. It's dark. Karen and Georgia and all amazing MFM team members.
00:06:21
You asked for it, literally anything at this point. So here we go. I'm a bank manager and I could share all the many stories of fraud, dumb questions, etc.
00:06:31
In fact, I did. Maybe one day you'll read that email, but this one is officially better.
00:06:36
Okay, I was in the back of the bank doing paperwork, trying to catch up on emails and going to enjoy a cookie when my new hire, Andy, came in with a folded up $20 bill.
00:06:45
I was instantly irritated because while it wouldn't seem like money at the bank would be an issue,
00:06:50
when we find money, it means a hell of a lot of paperwork for 20 stupid dollars,
00:06:55
sometimes even just a penny. Andy told me a customer had found it and turned it in.
00:07:00
He had asked around, but no one claimed it. Being new, he didn't know what to do,
00:07:04
so he came back to me. Yeah, yeah, I'll handle it, I say, as I take it. I go to unfold the bill to
00:07:10
see how much there actually is when the tightly folded bill pops open and white dust flies
00:07:15
everywhere. It must have been like a little bindle. You can fold them origami style.
00:07:20
Yes, that's right. And put cocaine in it. You know how you do that? It's also the dirtiest way to interact with cocaine. It's just like,
00:07:28
why not wipe it on the ground and then pick it back up? Totally. Rub it on a doorknob and lick it off.
00:07:35
And then it says all over me and the uneaten cookie on my desk. Andy looks like he's about to cry because he thinks he's just accidentally poisoned me or
00:07:45
something. But I calmly and firmly tell him to call the police while I call the bank security
00:07:49
team to get directions. With the police on their way, Andy and I put the bill and what is left of
00:07:54
the white powder in a plastic bag and Google how to safely remove cocaine from your clothes and body.
00:08:01
Thankfully- Get a coke addict to come and snort it off. Thankfully, this was during COVID and wearing masks was required by my employer,
00:08:08
so no one inhaled anything. Great. The police showed up and take statements and I told them, this might surprise you, but I don't have a lot of experience around cocaine and wasn't sure what to do.
00:08:17
The officer laughed and said, well, it could be cocaine or it could be meth. I must have looked a little concerned because he followed with, don't worry, if it was meth, you would feel it already.
00:08:28
Gee, thanks. They later called and confirmed it was cocaine and if they needed any more information, they would call me.
00:08:35
We cleaned up the remaining cocaine and threw away my cookie. Devastating. but Andy felt so bad that he could have drugged me that he bought me a replacement the next day
00:08:43
classy hope this story was right up your alley thanks for all you've done and do stay sexy and don't unfold mystery money around food Taylor she her
00:08:52
it's very specific it's so specific and it's also kind of like that funny thing you're at a bank
00:09:00
and then it's like did someone drop a $20 bill it's like my drugs like oh I left my drugs at the
00:09:07
bank. Get it together. Get it together, drug addict. Come on. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on

00:12:10
going to read you the subject line. Okay. So it just starts, today I heard the mini-sode where
00:12:14
the Mormon mom on Ambien bought a bunch of R-rated DVDs and it reminded me of this story.
00:12:19
God, we've done so much So many topics So This happened the first time my boyfriend
00:12:28
Now husband, met my parents It was winter, we had dinner Things went great We planned to stay for the weekend
00:12:35
And it was getting pretty late So my dad, unbeknownst to us, took some Ambien We were all in the living room
00:12:41
Chatting and getting to know one another When my dad asked my husband, then boyfriend
00:12:45
If he wanted to take a look At his yellow 1964 MG. My dad is obsessed with this car. They go out into the garage and my dad asks if my then
00:12:55
boyfriend would like to take it around the block. Oh no. Now I have to pause and say that my sister's
00:13:01
husband, who has been around for a year or so at that point, was not allowed to drive this car.
00:13:08
He was not allowed- Oh my God. To drive this car. So when my dad asked my husband if he wanted to drive,
00:13:14
He figured he had made the very best of impressions and immediately said yes. So here's where it gets weird.
00:13:20
First, my husband can drive a stick, but in British cars, the gear shift is backwards or something.
00:13:25
So he goes to clarify with my dad which way to move it. And my dad fully has no idea how this car works.
00:13:32
Then my dad encourages him to rev the engine really hard and rip it down the block
00:13:36
so that, quote, the ladies inside can hear the tires screeching. Oh, my God. Finally, they make it around the block and come back inside where my very introverted, very conservative dad announces to the room.
00:13:50
Now, don't go telling them about how we went topless bowling. By this time, it's clear that something's up.
00:13:57
My dad goes to make a platter of mozzarella sticks. It's 1045 p.m. Yes. Your dad is high.
00:14:05
Yeah. And he arranges them into a face with a parsley beard so that it looks like my husband.
00:14:11
This guy is a fucking party animal and I love it. This is his real personality. Yeah, that's right.
00:14:18
I love that. To top it off, he picks up my ukulele. Oh, no. I'm a kindergarten teacher and serenades the room with a very off-tune Christmas carol.
00:14:28
My mom is slowly realizing what's happening and she asks my dad if he's taken any Ambien yet.
00:14:34
It turns out he took his usual half a pill, forgot, and then took another full pill.
00:14:40
So three times his normal dose. He was high as a kite. And that's the story of how my husband met my parents.
00:14:48
And it's just signed Jess. Oh, Jess. Oh, my God. How come nothing fun like that ever happened to me when I was on Ambien?
00:14:55
All I did was sleep really well. Did you never have any kind of experience where you were like waking up driving or any of the scary Ambien stories?
00:15:03
Nothing. Not that I know of. I know. Well, then it's the drug for you. It was the drug for me.
00:15:10
Oh, that's funny. Okay. Hi, all. So I'm working on catching up, and there was a hometown about a five-year-old burning the dining room carpet, and it just reminded me of a story of my very own.
00:15:20
When me and my twin sister were about three years old, we decided we really wanted to go camping.
00:15:25
Mom was asleep on the couch with our tiny baby sister, and Dad was out, so we were pretty much unsupervised.
00:15:31
This was the early 90s, so not unusual. Please note, number one, we lived in a small trailer.
00:15:36
And number two, up until this point, our only idea of camping was a campfire. Well, like I said, we really wanted to camp.
00:15:44
So we proceeded to pile up all of our toys in the middle of the dining room. Next, our kindling needed a light.
00:15:50
I grabbed a lighter, not childproof, from the TV stand and shoved it in my sister's toddler hand.
00:15:56
She flicks the starter and whoosh, fire. At this point, we were super proud. So of course we had to wake my mom.
00:16:03
Obviously, this did not go well. She immediately jumped up at the sight of the smoke and flames and rushed us out the door yelling, get your dad.
00:16:11
Fast forward a couple hours, there's a huge fire truck putting out the last of the flames of the completely destroyed trailer.
00:16:19
Thankfully, no one was hurt, but me and my sister got to walk away with a pretty wild story.
00:16:24
Sorry for the long story, but I had to share. Stay sexy and maybe keep an eye on the fire-loving children.
00:16:30
And then there's no name. I mean, the name is Arsonist, is really the name on that one.
00:16:36
Thank God for childproofing. Yeah. I mean, I guess it really did take that long, what, into the late 90s, 2000s?
00:16:43
Yeah. I guess they just made lighters harder. I think it was an optional thing, like with pill bottles.
00:16:49
Like if you asked for childproofing, you could get that kind. Well, I guess those parents learned their lesson.
00:16:57
They sure did. Also, they really wanted to camp because they burned their own toys.
00:17:02
Yeah, total. Less dedication. All right, here's my last one. There's no subject line.
00:17:08
It just says, hey, Karen, Georgia and friends. Last week, a listener shared a story on how her older sister laid a cookie dough turd on her pillow.
00:17:15
And well, it got me thinking of all the shit I put my siblings and my younger cousins through.
00:17:20
I have 17 first cousins and I am the second oldest girl. So growing up, us older cousins would call our younger cousins the babies.
00:17:28
So in the 90s, when Jerry Springer was in its prime, my cousins and I loved watching Jerry Springer and Laura, who was like Jerry, only the Latino version and much more dramatic.
00:17:40
Have you ever heard of Laura? No. I haven't either. I want to see that. I was probably about 10 and I had no business watching these shows, but our Latin parents were always too busy amongst themselves to notice.
00:17:51
We relate. My cousin had a giant trampoline in their backyard and the older cousins would round up all the babies aged four to seven probably and make them act out Jerry scenes
00:18:06
Yes. One of the older cousins would act as Jerry. Oh my God. I was usually the security guard.
00:18:15
Oh my God. This is so good. Imagine if you were the neighbor just looking out your window
00:18:21
I would do this backyard being like those kids. Okay, I was usually the security guard
00:18:25
and we would assign roles to the babies as cast members. My poor little brother would always be the cheating husband
00:18:31
and my two little girl cousins would always be the wife and the girlfriend. Oh my God.
00:18:36
We'd give them each a storyline and then bring them all on stage, quote unquote,
00:18:41
and then a parenthesis that says the trampoline and crack up as they argued and fought
00:18:46
as if they were on the real show. Holy shit. I'm not proud of this and my cousins to this day love to remind us of the evil things we would do
00:18:55
to them as kids my cousins are now my best friends and I couldn't imagine life without them
00:19:00
I tell them at least it built character and that they have us to thank for being the tough badasses
00:19:04
that they are today love you guys stay sexy and don't forget to check on the kids once in a while
00:19:09
you never know what they could be watching Nat that is so delightful I love it so classic
00:19:18
like so classic of like yeah you're going to make your own tv show yeah you're going of course you
00:19:24
are like this is what is influencing you so you're going to do it and you happen to have no supervision
00:19:28
so you watch jerry springer and this is what happens next but the idea that you're making
00:19:33
the little kids fight and act yeah seems that is that is whether you're cousins siblings that is
00:19:39
the dynamic that power dynamic of childhood it's so hilarious i love it love it While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent.

Thirdly, my story. A few decades ago, a now elderly friend of mine was manning the front desk
00:22:59
of a small motel by herself in the middle of nowhere, Ontario. She had her sweet little Siamese for company.
00:23:06
One evening, a nice looking, well-kept man walked in and asked to rent a room. So she sorted it and gave him the key.
00:23:14
He left and a short time later came back into the reception area asking if he could use the phone.
00:23:19
My friend didn't feel suspicious and was about to say yes when the sweet little Siamese went crazy,
00:23:26
arching her back and going up on her tippy toes while hissing and snarling. Ooh.
00:23:31
Intimidated by this now angry cat, the man backed out of the reception area and never came back.
00:23:36
This confused my friend that she had never seen the cat act like that before. But then a month goes by, and as she's watching the news,
00:23:43
she saw that same man being arrested. It was none other than Paul Bernardo, the Scarborough Rapist or schoolgirl killer
00:23:52
that Karen covered in an episode. Yep. The normally friendly, yet very in tune cat
00:23:57
saved a life that night. So, she's going to be a little bit We all know to never man the front desk of a motel in the middle of nowhere by yourself without your normally sweet cat by your side.
00:24:06
That's right. Stay safe and do God's missions. M, and then it says, P.S., a shout out to Elvis, who I'm sure would have saved Georgia in the same circumstance, which makes me want to cry.
00:24:17
Is that like a Siamese thing where they're kind of like protective like that? Yeah, they pick one person and that's their person for life.
00:24:25
Oh, kind of a thing. Yeah, that's I mean, Paul Bernardo is the scariest, the scariest because he looks so normal and acted so normal.
00:24:36
Yeah, he is the classic shark level predator where it's like, oh, I'm going to blend into your surroundings and be like, oh, yeah, I don't get bad vibes from this guy.
00:24:44
He's actually kind of cute. Totally. But the very smart animal in the room is seeing it for what it is.
