Hello and welcome to My Favorite Murder. The Minisode. Hey, it's Minnie and we read you your stories.
00:01:47
You guys send them to us and we appreciate it so much. Thanks so much. Do you want to start today?
00:01:52
Hey, sure. Why not? Hey. Hey, man. This one's called Coincidence Story. lighthearted question mark okay hi okay so nine years ago i moved away from my hometown to go to
00:02:03
college and never returned for the normal small town boring reasons so i now live nowhere near
00:02:09
family acquaintances you get the picture i have become a semi-regular at a small local bar
00:02:14
spending time there after work as a casual place to watch sports games and well have afternoon beers
00:02:20
amen i mean one of the great yeah joys of life is an afternoon beer especially when you're on break from work and then you figure out a way to not go back to work.
00:02:31
That's right. It always comes to you when you're having that second beer you weren't going to have
00:02:37
is how do I get out of the rest of my day? And here's your answer that I'll give you as a little
00:02:43
gift from me to you. You call and you say, I broke my shoes. I have to get it. You glue that tongue to the roof of your mouth and you start explaining.
00:02:53
they won't want to listen to it because it's and also they kind of won't believe you because
00:02:59
everyone knows when you're lying and in reality. I don't know if I love broken tooth better or
00:03:03
drunk Karen better. There's so many options. She's pretty great. She contains multitudes.
00:03:10
What about drunk broken tooth Karen? Oh, very real. Okay. Someday. I had made friends with my
00:03:17
usual bartender. We'll call him Joe. One day I overheard Joe talking to another customer saying
00:03:21
where he went to high school. I heard him say he went to the high school in my hometown and I nearly
00:03:26
spit out my drink. I've been here nine years in the city and I've never heard anyone say they were
00:03:31
from my hometown. Of course, I had to ask him about this when he came back over to my end of
00:03:35
the bar. I told him where I was from and we had the, oh shit, no way moment. So the bartender is
00:03:39
from her small town. He goes, wait, what's your last name again? It doesn't sound familiar. I said,
00:03:45
he wouldn't know my last name as it's different from the one I grew up with. So I said, but the
00:03:49
name you might know is, insert childhood last name. His face went pale and he said, do you know
00:03:55
Josh? Yes, I know Josh. He's my older brother. Now for some backstory, my oldest brother, Josh,
00:04:01
died at 23 years old in a car accident back in 2005, nearly 17 years ago now. Joe said, my brother's Chris. Do you know him? Chris was Josh's best friend growing up and he
00:04:14
came on our family vacations. Of course I knew Chris. I hadn't seen him since before Josh passed
00:04:19
away, but I certainly remember him from my childhood. So the bartender looks at me and says,
00:04:25
Chris is my brother. Joe and I had been sharing this little bar, minding our business for months,
00:04:32
and little did we know the connection we shared. But here's the best part. He pulled up a picture
00:04:37
of Chris and shows me that he has my brother's face tattooed on his arm. His brother does or he
00:04:46
does? I welled up with tears. I hadn't seen him in so long. This encounter was so special to me
00:04:52
because it showed me that I wasn't the only one who still remembers him. It's been so long since
00:04:57
he passed. The chances of me meeting someone who knew him are so slim, especially being so far away
00:05:03
from home. We exchanged stories all evening. He told me ones I had never heard, showed me pictures
00:05:08
of him I had never seen. I feel like I have a piece of him still there now through his friends
00:05:13
and their family who have done so much to keep his memory alive over the years. This is the craziest
00:05:19
coincidence I've ever experienced and probably ever will. Anyways, thanks for listening and thanks
00:05:24
for doing everything that you do. You all absolutely rock. Stay sexy and check your bartenders for
00:05:28
tattoos of your relatives die. So it was the bartender who had the tattoo of her brother.
00:05:35
Not the brother who was the best friend, but the bartender himself. How crazy is that?
00:05:39
That is, it's so touching. Imagine, it's like someone that's as close as your older brother
00:05:46
that dies. And that is really true that like when that amount of time passes, it's like,
00:05:52
you don see them It not the same grieving situation And so it almost like oh if he out of my mind is he out of everyone mind Right Like I never going to hear new stories
00:06:05
again. Maybe I'll see a photo somewhere in the future, but I'll never really like have new
00:06:11
memories of my loved one again. And then suddenly, boom, you get to share them with someone else.
00:06:18
It's so special. And the other person loved your brother as much as you did. So it's not
00:06:24
Like, oh, I knew him. He was in a class. He was really nice. It's like, here's stories of shit we all did together.
00:06:31
Oh, that gets me. Yeah, he meant so much to me. I got a tattoo of his face. It is really beautiful.
00:06:37
That's amazing. Also, I really, I wanted them to fall in love. Maybe they are. We don't know.
00:06:44
We don't know if it, you know, those afternoon beers, Dai goes back time and again.
00:06:50
The sharing escalates. There's a heart match. It's a heart match. Yeah, that's what's so beautiful about life is there's time in the future to fall in love.
00:07:00
So great about being alive. So yeah. Starting out sappy. Sorry. Yeah, you did. I know.
00:07:08
I like it. It's a nice kickoff. Mine too. Listen to this shit. Hello, MFM crew. I was listening to Miniso 294 where you asked for great pranks and I have one for you.
00:07:20
As fellow younger sisters, you too can understand the need to prank your older sister.
00:07:25
So here we go. When I was maybe 11 or so, my sister was 13 and got permission from my dad, single parent of two girls, how lucky,
00:07:34
to have a big sleepover where she got to invite five other girls to spend the night.
00:07:39
Being the younger sister, I of course wanted to hang out with them and bask in their older coolness.
00:07:44
But when they started playing party games on the witchy side, like light as a feather, etc.,
00:07:49
they rudely kicked me out. You're too little. Get out. You're going to have nightmares.
00:07:55
Yep. We have to talk about important stuff. That's when my older cousins who were way older
00:08:01
than me, they were like teenagers when I was six years old. And our other non-related cousin,
00:08:07
Laura, would come down from Windsor and they would kick me and my sister out and they would say,
00:08:12
oh, we have to have a witch's meeting. No way. It's a theme. It's an older sister,
00:08:17
older cousin of Thame. Not cool. It's basically like you can't handle magic or like witchcraft.
00:08:23
So get out until you learn witchcraft is essentially. Which will be never. So go fuck
00:08:28
yourself. And witchcraft kind of stood for smoking pot, I think. Anyway, they so rudely kicked me out.
00:08:34
How dare they? I went to my room to sulk for a bit, but realized I could just listen at the door
00:08:39
and see what was going on. This is the making of a little sister right here. Eventually they got to
00:08:46
ghost stories, and my sister had a favorite one that she would always tell me involving a porcelain
00:08:50
doll and spiders that lived in said doll. Wanting props for the story, she pulled out a bag of
00:08:56
porcelain dolls to show off how we had creepy dolls. And then in parentheses, they weren't
00:09:01
creepy, just broken and in my room. Anyways, that's when I knew I could prank them. When they
00:09:07
all got up to retrieve drinks, food, and more cake from the kitchen, I snuck into a room and
00:09:11
sat every porcelain doll that was laying on the floor up and looking directly at the door,
00:09:16
and then I ran out before anyone noticed. Oh, that's clever. Mass panic was the only thing that happened next
00:09:24
when six girls screamed about the haunted dolls. Four out of five of her friends
00:09:28
calling their parents to come get them. My sister remained scared of those dolls
00:09:33
for as long as I could remember. And eventually I forgot about it until last year
00:09:37
when I mentioned the prank at my birthday dinner. I am now 25. Oh my God. And the look of shock came over her face
00:09:44
as she realized it was me. I know you asked for victimless pranks, but does convincing six girls that haunted dolls existed and probably traumatized them count?
00:09:54
Stay sexy and remember that younger sisters want to play spooky games too. Karen from Texas.
00:10:00
When we said victimless, that's what we meant. Because it's victimless. It's just scared the ever-loving shit out of some little girls.
00:10:08
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, it's victimless in terms of like haunted doll trauma is pretty standard.
00:10:16
No one actually fell down and broke their jawbone or something. Right. We want emotional trauma, not physical trauma. That's all.
00:10:24
Yes. Especially when it comes to sisters. We want sister trauma stories always and forever.

00:13:48
It just starts, hey, which is funny. My first one started, hi, and this one starts, hey.
00:13:54
On Minnesota 295, you asked for deathbed confessions, which gives me a reason to write to you about my badass great aunt Molly.
00:14:02
In the 1930s, Molly went to university to study languages, pretty rad at the time if you ask me.
00:14:07
And then during World War II, worked as a translator at Bletchley Park as part of the English intelligence work in which Alan Turing eventually broke the Enigma Code.
00:14:16
Anyways, on to her confession. In her youth, she, quote, courted a man for a while,
00:14:20
and they eventually became just friends and didn't marry. After that, she had no further relationships that we knew about.
00:14:26
On her deathbed, she confessed to my aunt that both he and she were gay and had had a relationship to cover this up.
00:14:33
She didn't talk about any other relationships, but I really hope she had some amazing lesbian love affairs.
00:14:39
It makes me sad that she wasn't able to tell us earlier in her life, but I hope she found support in her friend.
00:14:44
Thanks for everything you do, N. I'm sorry She Was she saying She dated Alan Turing?
00:14:50
No No Oh No No Just that she had a friend And they were both gay That she Quote dated
00:14:58
It seems like They were a cover up For each other And on her deathbed She finally confessed
00:15:02
That she was a lesbian Okay Got it Because Alan Turing was gay Yeah And that was a whole
00:15:09
Fucking issue He basically invented The internet Yeah No not him So sad that that has to happen, but it is like a deathbed confession.
00:15:21
I mean. Yeah, so sad. And also just such a great reminder of like we cannot allow any government body to turn back those rights that were so hard fought, so hard won.
00:15:34
It just cannot happen. There were people that used to be arrested for getting caught, like same-sex people getting caught kissing or something, be in jail.
00:15:44
Totally. It's so insane. It shouldn't be a deathbed confession. It's so fucking sad.
00:15:50
Yes. For sure. The title gives us away, so I'll just start it. Hello, ladies, gents, and assorted pets.
00:15:56
Let's get to it. You asked for librarian stories, which I am not. But for about a year, I worked as a bookseller for a certain well-known bookstore chain,
00:16:04
which seems relatively close to a librarian. So one day, I love it. It's like, please make it your own.
00:16:12
One day I arrived to my closing shift and was informed by my manager that closing the store would be a little different than normal.
00:16:19
Rather than going through our normal nightly routine of restocking books, cleaning, and processing orders for the next day,
00:16:24
we were all immediately to search all the nooks and crannies of the building and ensure everything was in place as it should be
00:16:31
and that there was no one trying to hang out in the building after close. I thought this was odd, but we had some odd regulars, like the guy who wore an all-black trench coat and carried a seven-foot-tall staff with a skull carved into the top, who would come in once a week to buy new DVDs and books.
00:16:50
That's not odd. That's a wizard. At closing, we locked doors per usual and searched the store as directed.
00:16:58
Nothing was out of place, and we didn't find any people trying to stay in the store after a close, so we wrapped up our nightly duties and we went home.
00:17:05
The next day, I mentioned to one of my coworkers who hadn't worked the night before about the weird close the night prior, and they informed me nonchalant, as can be, that it was probably because of the armed robbery at our sister store earlier in the week.
00:17:19
A few days before my weird closing shift, our sister store just a few miles away had been robbed after close.
00:17:27
The armed robber had hidden somewhere in the store, waited till close and for all the employees to leave except for the closing manager, and then made the manager empty the safe of its contents before walking right out the doors.
00:17:39
No problem. The manager was thankfully unharmed. There were concerns that the culprit would come to nearby stores and attempt the same thing.
00:17:47
I was concerned that the best solution management had was to send the staff searching for a hidden
00:17:53
armed robber at the end of the shift especially without warning about what we were really looking for Thankfully no other stores were robbed I have no clue if they ever caught the robber but our sister store was shut down
00:18:05
shortly after due to the pandemic. Working as a bookseller, excluding this experience,
00:18:09
was really fun and a great college job overall. It's also where I was introduced to the podcast
00:18:15
at the very first shift I ever worked. They were having an MFM night to celebrate your book launch.
00:18:20
I'm so thankful for your podcast and the community it created Stay sexy and support your local bookstore
00:18:26
Roxy Love that I mean, yeah Hey guys, go out into the bookstore And play fucking peekaboo
00:18:36

00:18:42
Please Go ahead, you're not old enough to drink in a bar But you should definitely be the security staff
00:18:48
Right, absolutely Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is just getting started.
00:18:54

Start your search with cars.com. Where to next? Goodbye. Okay. This is called A Superhero Funeral, Lighthearted. Hello, all. Several years ago,
00:21:50
when I was in high school, I would always volunteer to run the music program at my
00:21:54
church's vacation Bible school. Throughout the week, I would teach the students songs that went
00:21:59
along with our theme, which happened to be superheroes. On the last day of our week-long
00:22:03
program, my students would put on a concert for their parents. About 30 minutes before parents
00:22:08
were supposed to arrive, a hearse pulls up and a coffin was brought in. The pastor double-booked
00:22:14
the sanctuary for our music performance and a viewing for an old church member who died of
00:22:19
natural causes. Oh no. We were like, um, what? And said we would try to be fast and get all the
00:22:25
kids on their way as to not interfere with the service. How about the fucking funeral doesn't
00:22:31
interfere with the children too? We would just have to take down our very elaborate superhero
00:22:37
decorations. The family of the deceased who helped move in the coffin then pleaded with me to leave
00:22:44
the decor up. They said they couldn't think of a more fitting setup for this funeral and that he
00:22:49
would be happy to know his church was full and happy. I agreed and then cried in the bathroom
00:22:55
because it was all so moving. Love you all, Morgan. That is really beautiful. Yeah.
00:23:03
Sweet. I love that. And basically, it speaks volumes of that person who died. Totally.
00:23:08
Where it's like, no, no, they like life. They like how life just serves some shit up to you and you roll with it.
00:23:14
Yeah. Also, like having superhero decorations at your funeral is like a really great signifier
00:23:19
of what kind of person you are. It's like, Grandpa was Superman. Grandpa was whoever.
00:23:25
The Flash. I don't know. It was Stan Lee's funeral. Okay, here's my last one. I won't read you the subject line.
00:23:34
It just says, good day. I am a 50-something Southern grandmother. Just think Steel Magnolias.
00:23:40
And I know not your usual demographic for a murderino. That's not true. We got them.
00:23:46
We got all kinds of OG true crime fans long before a podcast exists. Okay, a little backstory.
00:23:53
My husband and I worked for the same mom and pop company. He was a VP and I was in public relations.
00:23:58
When my husband got in the office, that and quit, I was informed that I was no longer needed at the company.
00:24:04
Add to that, my middle daughter graduated from college and we were three grown-ass adults,
00:24:10
all living at home looking for jobs. Recipe for a disaster. Now, my husband, who spent the bulk of
00:24:16
our marriage working 18-hour days and leaving me to care for the house and kids, decided to start
00:24:22
quote-unquote giving me pointers on how to do stuff better around the house. Fast forward to
00:24:29
my first job interview in over 20 years. I'm sitting in a room with two men around their
00:24:34
mid-30s. When I get the dreaded question, why should we hire you for the job? My reply
00:24:39
was to smile and say, you should hire me so one day you don't see a news alert that reads,
00:24:44
woman hits husband over the head with a frying pan after he tells her she's loading the dishwasher
00:24:48
wrong and kills him. Y'all, I don't know why that came out of my mouth or how I recovered
00:24:57
from that little nugget, but I didn't get two miles down the road before the HR woman called me laughing,
00:25:02
asking when I could start. Yes So I will leave you with stay sexy and maybe not a good idea to threaten murder in a job interview Amy Sounds like it a great idea It sounds like it exactly the refreshing
00:25:17
upstart disruptor attitude that they needed. Yeah, man, you got to hire the 50-somethings
00:25:24
because they're the reliable ones that have been going to work day after day their whole fucking
00:25:28
lives and you can count on them. Yeah. And they'll warn you before they kill someone.
00:25:33
know. A 50-year-old woman will be like, hey, look, I'm going to tell you this one time.
00:25:37
Yeah. Enough with the dishwasher tips. Oh, I felt that one a little bit, a little bit deep in my soul. I will not say why,
00:25:49
but I did. Thanks for writing in and please write in. If you've never written in,
