To my favorite murder. The mini-sode. That's right. We're making hand gestures at each other before we start.
00:01:55
and you can see them because this is being videoed for the fan cult. It's kind of like mime combined with conducting.
00:02:05
And it doesn't really work. It doesn't. Nobody can conduct and play. It's really hard to do.
00:02:10
With this. Yeah, it's dramatic. Here's a mini episode. Are you ready for it? Do you want to go first?
00:02:16
Sure. Do it. Okay. My dad collected dead bodies in Yosemite. Oh. Hi. I was listening to episode 174, where Georgia covers Mount Everest, and it made me remember a few stories my dad would tell me when I was a kid.
00:02:31
My dad and his two older brothers were avid rock climbers and all-around outdoorsmen in the 70s.
00:02:37
They have several first ascents in various national parks, and at least one of my uncles used to travel around the world for rock climbing events.
00:02:46
Show out. They all also worked on one of the first prototypes that's led to today's harnesses used by hang gliders.
00:02:54
Oh. Among his many epic stories. One being at a dinner party. Oh, fascinating. Interesting.
00:03:02
One that's really stood out to me is that my dad and his brothers would go up to Yosemite in the early spring and work the whole season collecting dead bodies as they defrosted from the winter.
00:03:15
What? This is a follow up to me saying stay out of the forest. Yeah. OK. A particularly gruesome one was a hiker who'd gone up to Yosemite Falls too late in autumn.
00:03:25
He fell down the falls and ended up in the bowl where his body stayed frozen throughout the winter.
00:03:31
I'm sorry. This is so fucking gruesome. In the spring, the fall started to thaw.
00:03:35
And as it did, my dad remembers waiting for the hiker's body to come down to the bottom.
00:03:40
I don't remember if they were able to recover all the different body parts, but I was more fixed on the visual he painted with this story as I was maybe only 12 years old at the time.
00:03:51
Wow. My dad and his brothers would do this kind of work all spring for quite a few years,
00:03:56
and the money they got from it enabled them to take summers off and do nothing but camping, hiking, and rock climbing all over California.
00:04:05
And going to therapy. And going to massive amounts of therapy. They used a lot of those tragic deaths as examples of what to be cautious of when on their adventures.
00:04:13
I have a few more interesting stories I know you would like to hear, so I'll make sure to write them for another time.
00:04:19
Stay sexy and be safe on the trail, Kiki. I mean, it is an incredibly generous service to provide because it's not it's unlike you.
00:04:30
It's like you can't just send in regular EMTs or regular coroners or funeral home.
00:04:36
I don't know who actually would normally go pick up those bodies. But it's like you'd need specialists and people who could.
00:04:44
And it's a service for those families. Totally. But then you don't need to tell your 12-year-old about it also in addition to.
00:04:52
I feel like, you know, in a lot of these emails that we get, people get told stuff, you know.
00:05:00
Yeah. They get told stuff by their parents. And I think that's why they become listeners of this podcast.
00:05:04
So we should thank those parents' bad decisions over wine. It's not the worst to just be like death.
00:05:13
You might as well get used to death being a real thing. The longer you pretend it doesn't exist, the more shocking it is.
00:05:20
That's a good maybe that's the thinking. Yeah, that's a good point. Here's mine.
00:05:24
Weird vibes and truth be told. What a great subject line. It starts like this. Beautiful humans and precious for friends.
00:05:36
Sorry. The summer I turned 14, I was staying with my aunt and they mean candy striping, but they
00:05:44
wrote candy stripping. You sure they meant candy stripping? 14 year old candy stripping at the hospital.
00:05:52
I hope not. Wow. I will call CPS Wow Aunt M is a badass All on her own above and beyond being an RN in a time when misogyny was commonplace she kicked ass and took names from day one of her RN days
00:06:07
To this day, I love spending time with her and hearing all the tales and stories she has to tell.
00:06:12
Some good, some not so good. Needless to say, her life experiences served her well the day that we were on our way home from the hospital after her shift and got hit from behind.
00:06:24
A state patrolman came and cleared the scene, sent the other driver to the hospital,
00:06:29
and as my aunt and I were fine, she had to give a statement. Now, me being 14 at the time and never having been in an accident before was scary enough.
00:06:38
But I was even more scared when the officer insisted that we both get in his patrol car
00:06:43
so that he could take the statement. I remember her asking him why we had to get out of our car as it was raining.
00:06:49
He again insisted, so we did as he asked. Let me tell you, ladies, the longer I sat in that car, the more terror I felt.
00:06:57
Something was off. This officer was adamant that I sit in the front and in the middle part of the seat with my mom and the passenger side.
00:07:05
She was furious at the whole situation, but gave the statement and got us out of their ASAP.
00:07:10
When we got home, she was talking with my uncle, who was a former patrolman, and asked why the patrolman might have asked us to get into his car.
00:07:19
He had no idea. Fast forward several years, Aunt Em and I wrote letters back and forth, and it wasn't unusual to get a letter in the mail from her.
00:07:28
So imagine my surprise when I opened this letter to find a newspaper article from her town newspaper that stated the very same officer that insisted I sit in the car closest to him had been charged with several counts of child molestation.
00:07:43
Holy shit. The light bulb went on and I knew instantly why I felt the way I did that day.
00:07:48
Even being scared from our accident, I had a weird vibe from this guy. They put him away for several years and he died in prison.
00:07:56
My aunt is a survivor of SA and she knew that day that something was very wrong and she was right.
00:08:02
Sorry this is so long. Keep up the fantastic work you do. So proud of you both for living your dreams.
00:08:08
Stay sexy and listen to your gut, Elle. Wow. Yeah. wow yeah fuck man fuck that that's the thing about the like abuse of power and a person like
00:08:22
that that's like getting people at their weakest most scared most vulnerable point and then doing
00:08:29
stuff like that it's like jesus christ well fucking women knowing their gut and intuition
00:08:35
so yeah and getting pissed and just being like enough of this yeah oh my god that's terrifying
00:08:41
OK, this one's called Almost Murdered on the Side of the Freeway. Hi, ladies. After listening to Georgia talk about the man who helped her in the middle of the road when her car broke down, I had to write this one in.
00:08:53
Let's hit it. I love those. Like, let's get to it. Let's get in. Here we go. I love those.
00:09:01
Years ago, I was in my old Dodge driving to my dreaded night class. Shout out to Santa Monica City College.
00:09:07
What's up? I dropped out of there. Hey. Hey. when all of a sudden my car started making a very expensive noise.
00:09:15
Genuinely thinking that my car was going to explode and leave me dead on the 101,
00:09:19
I pulled over on the side of the freeway. Never do that. But you remember when you and Vince did it?
00:09:25
I'm saying you and Vince because I was in the car screaming at you guys not to do that.
00:09:29
And then he got out of the car. There was like a palm frown under your car. I ran over something because I couldn't swerve because we were on the five cell.
00:09:40
And so I ran over what I thought was the lid to an igloo cooler, like a styrofoam lid,
00:09:46
but it was not. And it basically ripped the bottom of my car off. And then I had to pull it.
00:09:52
Then I was dragging it. Yeah. And I had to pull over and it was mayhem. It was mayhem.
00:09:57
I was screaming at both of you and you were blowing me off. Both of you were blowing me off.
00:10:02
But I will say I will say one of the things that I have I learned along with take your fucking lint out of your dryer trap is even if you fuck your car up, pull over off of the freeway.
00:10:13
Do not pull over on the side of the freeway. Like even if you're on your rim, fuck your rim up rather than.
00:10:19
Right. Anyways, I'm done. Fuck you. I was just doing what the what Vince told me to.
00:10:24
No, no, you totally were. It's all I just didn't know what to do. And it seemed like am I wrong to remember the sparks were involved somehow?
00:10:31
They might have been. And it might have been dire. However, it was at night on the freeway.
00:10:36
It was at night. It was bad. It was terrible. I was like, well, there goes my husband.
00:10:41
There goes our life. That's right. Side of the freeway. My dad, who grew up in NorCal, terrified of Zodiac Killer, had quite literally ingrained
00:10:49
in my head like the Lord's Prayer to never pull off the side of the freeway. So there I was, 19-year-old me with an amazing metabolism and zero car experience.
00:11:00
Yeah. Oh, we've been there. Knowing that I already couldn't afford what was going to be wrong with my car. I got out to examine if anything was smoking or leaking as if I had a plan when I look up to see headlights pulling off the freeway behind my car.
00:11:16
The car parks and sits there for a few seconds and out walks the most giant man I have ever seen in my life. He started to walk closer and closer to me and all I could see was a silhouette with the headlights blaring behind him.
00:11:31
My heart was pounding as I clutched my keys and began to thread my house key between my fingers as self-defense.
00:11:37
I scanned his face for details that I could give to the sketch artist. He was about 6'5", 250 pounds, a huge beard, and tattoo sleeves on both arms.
00:11:48
Hagrid? Oh! With tattoo sleeves on both arms. Yeah. He came up and asked if I needed any help and I calmly explained that I was fine and my car was just making noises from the engine He quickly began to examine I looked back at this car and started to memorize the license plate when I saw movement in the backseat
00:12:08
A hostage? A child? After just a few minutes of watching my own Forensic Files episode play in my head, the man started to laugh menacingly.
00:12:17
Turns out nothing was wrong with my engine, but the little flap on the bottom of the car was just falling off,
00:12:23
and wailing in the wind, causing it to make the god-awful noise. He went back to his car to grab zip ties.
00:12:30
When I saw little chihuahua ears pop out of the passenger seat and excitedly begin to yap.
00:12:36
Menacing people don't have chihuahuas, right? No, no, no. Only good people. He came back and zip tied the plastic piece back to the bottom of my car.
00:12:44
And over the zooms of the freeway background noise, he explained that I had no reason to be scared.
00:12:49
He was a mechanic and was also a student at another nearby college. My guard rested as I realized this man was just a big teddy bear type that just wanted to offer a little bit of kindness and help a clearly freaked out young woman.
00:13:03
After zip tying the flailing plastic on the bottom of the car, he asked me out on a date.
00:13:10
I wish I could say that we lasted and went off to get married, blah, blah, blah.
00:13:14
But after a few dates, I finished the semester and transferred to a college out of state.
00:13:17
I still have never told my dad this story for fear of him literally disowning me as a murdering a daughter.
00:13:24
Stay sexy and listen to your dad for once when he talks about cars. Kylie. Hey, I like even just a passing love connection is still exciting.
00:13:36
Because that adds to the element of the full 180. Yeah. Of going from fear to abject fear to dates.
00:13:45
To dates, to make it out at a bar. To make it out outside the pizza parlor. That's right.
00:13:53
Okay. The title of this email is The Scarface of UC Santa Barbara. Oh. Hi, friends.
00:14:00
I was recently listening to an episode that mentioned Stephen attended UCSB, and after a bit of good old FB stalking, it turns out I was studying there at the same time as him.
00:14:10
Small world, in parentheses. This took me on a trip down memory lane, which reminded me of a story that I tried to forget, and it involves, you guessed it, murder.
00:14:19
My best friend and I used to hang out with a group of bros at UCSB circa 2006 to 2010, one of which was named Kirk Galvin.
00:14:29
Most weekends, we'd stroll down to his oceanside place in Isla Vista, ready to party the night away.
00:14:34
At some point, Kirk established quite the coke habit and eventually sold it to friends, etc.
00:14:40
One night I took a gaggle of party betches over to his place, and he had a Scarface-style mountain of cocaine on his kitchen counter in plain view from the balcony sliding glass door, and was enthusiastically encouraging all the ladies to snort what they wanted with a rolled-up $100 bill he provided.
00:15:05
Oh, fuck, that gives me just, I feel dirty just hearing that. it's just like red flag central yeah don't do coke you guys it's sturdy also and in that scenario
00:15:16
it's that is you're never this is never a no strings attached scenario when someone's like
00:15:22
look at all my drugs do you want free drugs those are not going to be free if someone actively
00:15:27
especially okay if a dude actively encourages you to get drunk to drink more to do drugs to like
00:15:34
go away go leave go bye yes no that that's that should all be your decision yeah you get to put
00:15:42
on the brakes anytime you want and uh yeah be careful of mountains of coke in any scenario
00:15:49
truly even if it's just you and your bitches we're only halfway through this email okay at
00:15:54
one point during the evening his hundred dollar coke straw went missing and he snapped he went
00:16:00
from being this chill party guy to a visibly angry psychopath in a matter of minutes. He was positive
00:16:06
it was one of us who stole it. He was not in the least bit reassured by us emptying our pockets
00:16:11
and offering to let him look through all of our purses. In fact, this seemed to make him angrier.
00:16:17
Hi, I'm a huge red flag. Nice to meet you. And we were honestly terrified that he was not going to
00:16:23
let us leave this apartment until it was found. And this is what we're talking about. Because
00:16:28
drugs are in the mix. You can't, people are going to be erratic and bizarre behaving yourself
00:16:35
included. Like it's all, it's all. Oh yeah. Okay. We were relieved when he screamed that we'd better
00:16:44
get out of his house now. And we jumped at the opportunity. We took our monster heels and tiny
00:16:49
dresses and got the hell out of there. We, we partied onward into the night and we decided
00:16:55
probably we shouldn't hang out with our newfound drug lord anymore. Other than the occasional creepy request to take one of us dress shopping
00:17:02
so he could, quote, see you in the dress I bought you, shudder. We didn't hear much from him until a year after we'd graduated.
00:17:12
In July of 2011, we found out that Kirk had murdered his uncle at his father's house in Orange County,
00:17:18
drove with the dead body in his car two and a half hours to the hills of Santa Barbara and set it on fire.
00:17:24
Holy shit. Two hikers came across the corpse and Kirk was arrested soon thereafter, claiming the devil was in his head and voices told him to do it.
00:17:34
Cocaine is a hell of a drug. He is now in prison and we are all just glad we said no to more free cocaine and dresses, managed to stay sexy and not get murdered.
00:17:44
Go Gauchos. Love you all. Sarah. Damn. That is the darkest UCSB party story I've ever heard in my life.
00:17:54
Yeah. Stephen have you heard of that one I think I remember the part about the burning the body in the hills because there a lot of fires in Santa Barbara So that like would already be like such a red flag of like those those trees like that area gets on fire a lot
00:18:11
So somebody actually purposely going out there. That's terrifying. Yeah. And then and then there's so much more terrifying.

00:21:44
each of us in the fan cult it's there as is the video to this okay maybe the owl theory isn't so
00:21:50
crazy first responder story light-hearted my husband is a midnight duty police officer in a
00:21:57
suburban somewhat rural part of maryland so every morning when he comes home he regales me with his
00:22:03
adventures from his previous shift. Like the time he had a breakup and after a skinny dipping pool
00:22:08
party at a public school. Nope, at a public pool. That would be very different. But my favorite
00:22:21
story happened two summers ago. It was a hot, humid summer night. The dispatch radio was quiet,
00:22:27
no service calls. So he decided to check on the neighborhoods in the more rural part of his patrol
00:22:32
area. With the windows down and the music turned up, he was driving down a dark, desolate country
00:22:38
road when all of a sudden he heard a loud swoosh right by his face. In the next second, the cruiser
00:22:46
was filled with flapping wings and feathers everywhere. It was an owl. An owl had flown
00:22:53
through his open driver's side window and became stuck in the tiny space between the windshield
00:22:58
and cruiser cage. So it's like a two-seater fucking area. As my husband jerked his cruiser to the side of the road,
00:23:08
he and the owl screamed in each other's faces. My husband dove out of his vehicle with the owl making a swift exit afterwards.
00:23:16
The cruiser's interior was covered in feathers, and there were some scratches on the dashboard and steering wheel from the owl's talons.
00:23:23
My husband was fine, just shaken up. He thought the owl must have been attracted to the lights of his cruiser's computer.
00:23:31
So stay sexy and maybe just use the air conditioner while driving on hot summer nights.
00:23:35
Danielle. Holy shit. That would be scary. Remember when we first started the pod?
00:23:42
Do you remember? And we were driving down like fucking somewhere in Hollywood. And you had your, what's it called open?
00:23:50
Sunroof. sunroof and a crow almost flew directly into your car like and like couldn't fit its wings in or
00:23:56
something. Yeah, we heard it came so close. coming in that we heard it and it was like, took up the whole sunroof.
00:24:04
It did. It like shadowed over the car. It's crazy. And that meant that was, it turned out to be a good omen.
00:24:11
That was the magical omen of the crow. That's right. And it said five years of good podcast. Look to you ladies.
00:24:18
Oh, we said, okay. And we said, sounds good. Subject line is hometown hatter. Hi, Karen and Georgia, huge MDM fam.
00:24:27
And then there's a sneaky smiley face. MDM forever. MDM. I grew up in the mercury capital of the world.
00:24:34
I mean, the hat capital of the world, Danbury, Connecticut. You mentioned it recently on an episode about Victorian arsenic dresses.
00:24:41
Other than being the birthplace and home of Charles Ives, being the hat capital of the world that was most drilled into our heads as children.
00:24:49
Our high school mascot was even a hatter whose giant head donned our senior year.
00:24:54
Oh, my God. Anyway, by the time I was five or six, all of the hat factories had closed down for good.
00:25:02
My grandfather spent a good deal of his life working in one of those factories. While he did not die of mercury poisoning, traces of it were found in his body when the autopsy was done after his death.
00:25:13
After all of the hat factories closed the buildings and land remained mostly uninhabitable due to the mercury in the soil Wow Yeah Jump forward to today I am the director of education at a domestic and sexual violence resource center in Danbury
00:25:29
Recently, the city gifted us one of the old hat factory properties. We worked with the state and the EPA and completely cleaned up the land
00:25:37
and just opened a transitional facility for women and children in need. Proud to say that a piece of history that did so much harm now does so much good.
