Hello! Hello. And welcome. To my favorite murder. The mini-sode. Don't worry about it.
00:02:01
Come on, no big deal. It's so biggie. Why are you making such a fuss? So what if we have the same shirts on for four weeks in a row?
00:02:08
What do you care? Oh, yeah. If you're listening to this, you can also be watching this on the fan cult.
00:02:13
That's just $40 a year and you get all kinds of perks, including looking at our clothes.
00:02:19
Way to upsell. Thank you. including faces. You want me to go first this time? Sure.
00:02:29
Watch this. Okay. Hey, gang. Thank you, gals, so much for the amazing podcast that never fails to make me smile.
00:02:37
And then in parentheses, which is well appreciated up here in cold, dark Alaska.
00:02:43
Ooh, Alaska. Ooh. I'm a long-time listener, and when I heard you gals talk about the danger of going on
00:02:51
cruises, it made me have to write in this story. Yes, cruise stories. Cruise stories.
00:02:57
I love it. I live in Jeanneau, Alaska, which is the state capital. Oh, Alaska. I'm pretty sure it is.
00:03:07
Please write in to tell me it's not. I live in Jeanneau, Alaska, which is a popular destination for many tourists who come via
00:03:15
cruise ship in the summer. In fact, there are so many cruise ships that they create a large wall that blocks our view of the ocean.
00:03:22
Oh, come on. That sucks. It's this world. Like, what are we doing? Yeah. What are we doing?
00:03:34
What are we doing? That summer, I was working in a food truck that was stationed on the dock right in the center of all the action.
00:03:41
One day, I was working my shift just like any other day. Suddenly, there was an overwhelming sound of sirens, and then we saw many first responders' vehicles, including an ambulance, headed toward one of the cruise ships.
00:03:53
Which was surprising, since nothing like this ever happens here. So you can imagine that the whole town later loses their minds when they found out that a Utah man murdered his wife on that cruise ship and had attempted to throw her body off the balcony.
00:04:09
Apparently, they'd gotten into a fight, and she told him that she wanted a divorce.
00:04:13
and then he beat her in the head until she was unconscious. Their daughter heard the screams from the other cabin and called the police.
00:04:20
That's awful. Then when the police got into the stateroom, they found him trying to throw her body off the balcony of the ship.
00:04:27
The EMTs tried to resuscitate her, but she had already died from blunt force trauma.
00:04:32
He's now in jail, and when they took him to trial, he is noted as saying, quote, my life is ruined.
00:04:39
Oh, is it? Oh, wait, you'll like this next line. And it's like, yeah, that's your own fault, asshole.
00:04:47
Ah, right? I do like that. Right? Perfectly put. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison, but this July he was recently found dead.
00:04:57
The Department of Corrections say that no foul play is suspected and that his death is not COVID-19 related.
00:05:05
Anyway, best wishes from Alaskan murderinos. Stay sexy and don't go on cruise ships.
00:05:09
Leo. Wow. That's so sad. That's horrifying. And cruise ships are like tiny towns on the water.
00:05:20
So like having gone on a cruise with my parents, you like get to know the people because you just keep seeing the same people for the seven days or whatever you're on it for.
00:05:30
Like being with your neighbors constantly. Yes. It's so horrifying and intense that that would take place in such a like public.
00:05:40
And then the daughter. I know. It's horrible. Oh, poor lady. Okay. This one's called, I lived in Wichita, Kansas, and it was very fucked up.
00:05:49
And then it says Wichita just in case which I appreciate but actually that one I know Wichita Wichita A phonetic spelling of Wichita Wichita That how bad we have been
00:06:05
I am. Necessary. Yeah. Yeah. K and G and Co. When I was a young child, my family lived in Wichita, Kansas for a few years.
00:06:13
And thankfully, I do not remember most of it. There were constant tornadoes. There were frequent and ominous gatherings of crows in our backyard.
00:06:21
there was a little boy down the street who accused me of giving chocolate to his dog
00:06:26
I did not JFC what's JFC? just for clarification just for clarification Jesus fucking Christ
00:06:35
for clarification there was Dennis Rader on the loose Jesus for clarification what would Jesus clarify
00:06:43
what would Jesus clarify I am not homophobic homophobic. I am not anti-women. I never said shit about that. Actually, you guys put that in
00:06:55
there. You people are in the wrong. You have taken my words and twisted them to your uses,
00:07:01
and there's the ultimate sin, and you will burn. Yes, there is no forgiveness for that.
00:07:06
Anyway, there was Dennis Rader on the loose, and of course, he was a friend of a family friend.
00:07:13
This isn't about that. There was Wichita massacre killing spree that took the lives of five and
00:07:19
included a badass woman who survived being shot execution style and subsequently being run over
00:07:24
by a truck because her plastic barrette deflected the bullet. Oh my God. She stayed real fucking
00:07:31
sexy. However, a gentle reader, in light of the recent patriarchal manhandling of body autonomy
00:07:37
in the state I claim as my real home, Texas, I want to share the story of Dr. George Tiller.
00:07:44
Tiller was a medical student planning to do his residency in dermatology when he heard of a story
00:07:49
of a woman who died during an illegally performed abortion, and he decided to instead dedicate his
00:07:55
career to protecting women's right to bodily autonomy. He was a pioneering physician of
00:08:01
late-term abortions in cases where giving birth or continuing pregnancy would cause
00:08:05
substantial and irreversible impairment to his patient. He was also in recovery for substance
00:08:12
abuse, which is unrelated but deserves mentioning because that is champion shit. In 1986, his clinic
00:08:19
was firebombed, and in 1993, he was shot five times by a radical anti-abortion activist and
00:08:26
survived. Dr. Tiller attended Reformation Lutheran Church, the same church my family attended when we
00:08:32
lived in Wichita. My mom remembers hurting my brother and I, who are both very young, into church
00:08:38
under a barrage of verbal attacks from the anti-abortion activists that came every Sunday
00:08:44
to protest because they never learned to mind their goddamn business. And then this is in bold.
00:08:49
Seriously, who the fuck yells at a six-year-old on the Sabbath? That's insane. Yeah.
00:08:54
The protesters were never allowed on the premises, and the church maintained security precautions to prevent violence or disturbances during the service.
00:09:02
However, in 2009, Dr. Tiller was shot and killed in the church foyer while he was serving as an usher one Sunday.
00:09:10
My family had moved away a few years earlier, so we were not there, but my mother says that she is haunted by the image in her mind of Dr. Tiller's blood
00:09:18
on the tiled floor of the foyer, mingling with the dappling colored light projected through the stained glass window over the entrance of the church.
00:09:28
Today, the abortion clinic closest to the Texas-Oklahoma border that is serving many people who must now travel out of state to receive the care that they need
00:09:36
is operated by the Trust Women Foundation, which also operates Dr. Tiller's former clinic in Wichita.
00:09:43
Stay sexy and avoid Wichita if you can, and also support the hell out of people with uteruses.
00:09:48
Are she, her, hers. Wow. Wow. Yeah, so intense. So intense. But we're still fucking fighting the fight for our goddamn autonomy
00:10:00
over our fucking bodies. And also that people would actually call themselves pro-life.
00:10:06
that are doing shit like that. It just, it's a very, it indicates a hypocrisy and a contradiction and a lack of reason
00:10:18
because they don't believe their own like stance. Yeah. They don't actually believe it.
00:10:25
They have no respect for life and they have no respect for other people. That's right.
00:10:28
And it's insanity. It's insanity. It's a misrepresentation of morality and what it means to support your fellow human
00:10:34
and it's fucking utter bullshit. And it's terrorism. It's terrorism. Yeah. Amen.
00:10:40
Horrifying. Wow. I like that. That was a good email. Good to know your history. Yeah.
00:10:46
The subject line of this email is what's in your freezer? Oh, no. I did the I did the line reading like what's in your wallet.
00:10:52
I know. I liked it. Thanks. That was for free. Let's get cracking. I grew up in the midside city of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
00:11:03
When I was 10 years old, two of my classmates were messing around in the yard of what seemed to be an abandoned home. To their surprise, a man barged through the door
00:11:11
and aggressively confronted the boys. Luckily, they fled immediately and notified their parents.
00:11:17
Later that day, when the mom and dad of one of the boys confronted the man about the incident,
00:11:22
he opened fire at the parents, who escaped with only mild injuries. Ultimately, this led to an
00:11:28
overnight standoff between the man and the La Crosse Police Department. As the sun rose the
00:11:33
next morning, he finally gave up. Upon searching his home, they found he was in possession of
00:11:38
numerous illegal guns and homemade explosives. But these were the least of the news reports at the
00:11:44
time, because in the basement freezer, police found, drumroll please, a woman's body frozen in
00:11:51
a block of ice Further investigation revealed that the man name was Philip Schuth His mother died three to five years earlier and he had kept her body in this freezer in order to prevent being framed for murder quote unquote as he collected her social security checks
00:12:07
While in prison, the city of La Crosse ran wild with this story. T-shirts and car magnets were sold depicting a chest freezer with an old woman's manicured nails hanging out.
00:12:18
Oh, God. These items had the phrases, what's in your freezer, and my mom is cooler than your mom imprinted on them.
00:12:25
Seriously, these items were everywhere. Oh, my God. In an attempt to wrap this long story up, there are many layers to this case, and it is definitely worth a deeper read if your curiosity has been sparked.
00:12:39
And sorry for the length of the story. Much love, Q. Ooh. Yeah. You've got to love stories out of Wisconsin, though, because like in our last Minnesota, I was talking shit on Florida, as everyone does.
00:12:53
Very hacky of me. But Wisconsin comes through time after time with the creepy story.
00:12:59
Totally. And the horrifying. It's like under the radar. Hey, radar. Polite. The polite Midwest version.
00:13:06
Right. Of Florida. They're not on as many psychotropic drugs. I think there's just much more.
00:13:12
They just have eaten so many funeral potato casseroles that they are in a daze. There's a lot of what they call a cheese euphoria that's going on in that state.
00:13:25
That's got to be it. That's not made up at all. Okay, this is called the Three Drunketeers.
00:13:29
You know I love a drunk children hometown. Oh, hell yeah. This is the one for this week.
00:13:35
When y'all asked for hometowns about getting drunk as a kid, I knew it was finally my time to write in.
00:13:40
my parents were total anomalies we were forbidden to attend sleepovers but we were often welcome to
00:13:47
attend their ragers we are liberian west african and partying is a huge part of our culture
00:13:54
mine too yeah it truly is your function was regarded a failure if head counts didn't tip
00:14:01
into the three digits yes fuck yeah our high school graduations were like jewish bar bat
00:14:09
mitzvahs where we made bank and got a flex in front of our family and friends. Nice.
00:14:14
Needless to say, I have many drunk childhood memories. My favorite was my dad's 40th birthday.
00:14:20
It was right after 9-11 and I grew up in the DC area. So it was the first time we felt allowed to have fun and be excited about something since
00:14:28
that tragic day. Our house was full of the most amazing smells as our mom, one of the best cooks I know,
00:14:34
whipped up all the most popular Liberian dishes. My dad was on liquor duty. Men are always in charge of alcohol while women handle food at these events.
00:14:42
Very progressive. And he made his signature beverage, Champagne Punch. This innocent sounding drink is anything but as a single batch contains two to three lirs of brandy, assorted fruit liqueurs and six to eight bottles of champagne.
00:14:59
Holy shit. An array of tropical fruit nectars hides the danger that lies within.
00:15:04
the whole thing is then frozen and served as a slushie oh you mean the thing children love the
00:15:11
most right and then it says is it any wonder us kids loved it once the party got started
00:15:19
cars parked on our lawn in a genteel suburban neighborhood full dj booth and basement dance
00:15:25
floor can i please live in a fucking liberian neighborhood that sounds okay i'm loving learning
00:15:30
about Liberian culture directly from a person who's just like, here's what it was like.
00:15:35
Yeah, we did it. What a great way to learn about other countries or cultures. Totally.
00:15:42
Tell us about your childhood parent, your parents ragers when you were a kid. That's like culturally appropriate.
00:15:48
How did your parents party? Were they do you think that they partied harder or less hard than Liberians?
00:15:55
That is now because we didn't always we definitely always had huge parties, but we didn't
00:16:00
max out at 300. Yeah. It was like, I think we were up 200 was like nuts over. Yeah.
00:16:05
Like if you're friendly how to get a DJ booth, then it's a bucket rager. And all the adults
00:16:11
were having too much fun to be bothered with us kids. We got to work like an old school
00:16:15
firefighter bucket brigade. We smuggled our slushy booty. The party didn't wind down
00:16:20
until six or seven a.m. Fuck. And when our parents noticed we were still hanging with them,
00:16:26
the truth finally came out that no one, not even their elementary school aged kids had turned it down. Luckily, since our parents were too embarrassed to make a big deal,
00:16:34
we all got huge chunks of cornbread. I now realized to soak up the liquor and were shuttled
00:16:39
off to bed. Honorable mention goes to my Uncle Terry, who would always make a special cranberry
00:16:44
vodka and, quote, forget it somewhere in arm's reach of me and my cousin twin. Don't worry,
00:16:51
we were 18 by then. Oh, I forgot it next. Oh, Uncle Terry. Oh, whoops. I guess I'll make another one.
00:16:57
And because I'm realizing my family sounds like a bunch of single-brained cell degenerates,
00:17:01
let's do a quick where are they now? My brother is a kick-ass surgeon serving our nation.
00:17:06
I work in finance, and my sister is a marketing wizard. Please remember us like this.
00:17:13
It's too late. Yeah. Stay sexy and don't miss a Liberian party, Antonia. Fuck yeah.
00:17:22
That is an all-timer. That's an all-timer. Yes. Oh, shit. That's funny. Please remember us like this.
00:17:56
because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I narrating some of these sections And it like OK yo yo yo is this indulgent And I really thought about it I was like no at this point it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don go through it
00:18:15
But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me. And I left it on the mic.
00:18:21
That's great. Because it served the story. people will say like oh my god i cried at the end it's like yeah dude me too

00:20:06
This is an Aussie hometown pub story. Okay. That's the title. Hey, when I was in my 20s, I worked the day shift at a pub in Sydney, Australia.
00:20:16
We've been there. I love it there. So good. It was a bit of a rough and tumble place.
00:20:22
Disagree. Frequented... Wait, the bar? I said, man. Not a rough and tumble bar, man.
00:20:29
Just a nice rough and tumble bar for an afternoon, Bev. Hell yeah. Frequented by boisterous, often badly behaved young men.
00:20:38
Oh, my fave. Otherwise known as Larrikins. Larrikins? During the weekday, though, it was pretty quiet.
00:20:48
Our pub was on the corner of a busy intersection in an inner city suburb with cars and buses warring past all day long.
00:20:54
One quiet lunch shift, a rather restless looking bloke comes bursting in in what seems to be a bit of a hurry.
00:21:00
He hastily orders a schooner of beer and a glass of Coke. After pouring both drinks, I give him the total and he quickly produces a large handful of change,
00:21:08
then begins to shakily count out the money in 10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent pieces.
00:21:13
No, not OK. Yeah. Straight onto and all over the counter. No. As I start collecting this rather annoying amount of coinage, I notice him trying to chug the coke, ice and all, in one go.
00:21:26
Sorry. Was he a seagull? Did he just tore it into his gullet? Just say no ice. That's so dangerous.
00:21:38
It unhinges his entire jaw. It's a snake. He has a snake. You know, sometimes when you're drinking out of a glass that has ice in it and the beverage line has gone down below the ice line.
00:21:49
And so when you tip it back to get the last of the beverage, the ice just crashes into your face.
00:21:54
Of course, you've all had that experience. Well, this guy was trying to swallow that experience is what I think and why I'm enjoying myself so much on this episode.
00:22:03
It's the best. OK, sorry. All in one go. Pretty thirsty, I guess. Not sure a soda is a good call for chugging, but he can enjoy the gassy results of that later.
00:22:14
He keeps glancing out the window to the traffic, hand tapping on the bar, all while chugging.
00:22:19
Oh my god. He gets to the first sip of his beer when he suddenly takes the glass, runs out the side door onto the currently empty street, stands in the middle of the road, chugs the entire beer in literally two seconds flat, smashes the glass to the ground, and runs away down the middle of the street.
00:22:35
I can see both of the cross streets from this corner bar. And just as I see old mate piss bolting away down the street.
00:22:46
And sorry, there's little asterisks at the end of old mate and piss bolting. So I'll go down to the key here.
00:22:54
And old mate is a person whose name you don't know. And piss bolting is running really fast.
00:22:59
Okay, perfect. Great. Just as I see old mate piss bolting away down the street, I see a bunch of police rounding the corner running right after him.
00:23:07
They check in with me to see if I saw the guy. And of course, I point them in the right direction.
00:23:12
I notice across the street, a bunch of people gathered around a bus stop. A bunch of people gathered around a bus at the nearby stop.
00:23:18
Turns out this guy had just robbed a bus that had stopped directly across the street from the pub.
00:23:24
So he literally robbed this bus, stole a shit ton of coins, then ran across the street.
00:23:30
Oh my God. To smash down and then actually smash a Coke and a beer. I mean, at least he paid for the drinks.
00:23:38
I had to admire his desire for a cold beer. The cops got him not far down the road.
00:23:42
I was impressed by the speed of the police, but I'm guessing it's not easy to go on the run after guzzling a soda and a beer,
00:23:48
and I'm not keen to try. Also, who drinks Coke before beer? Especially if you're in a rush to escape a crime you just committed.
00:23:57
Thanks for all you do. Stay sexy and don't go... after bubbly drinks, Kira. And then it says in parentheses, rhymes
00:24:04
with beer. Yeah, it does. What the fuck? Hilarious. Why did you need the beer right away? Why did you need the Coke
00:24:11
and the beer? Why did you pay for it? Why did you stop across the street from where you just
00:24:18
robbed a place? Why would you rob a place that just fills your pockets with heavy change and weighs
00:24:26
you down when your plan is to outrun the cause. Right. Another great question. Okay. We're going to write these questions
00:24:32
up, Kira, and we're going to send them to you in Australia. That's right. Okay. I have one more.
00:24:39
All right. I'm not going to reach you the line of this. Okay. Hi, Karen, Georgia, and
00:24:44
MFM family. I just listened to the minisode where a listener used her lessons from dog training to scare
00:24:50
off a would-be carjacker. This makes total sense to me, and I wanted to share a quick little story of that
00:24:56
dog training energy in action. For context, my mom has been raising puppies for a guide dog
00:25:02
organization for about 15 years. How fucking adorable is that? A few years ago, I was in town
00:25:09
visiting and we were walking our dogs around my parents' quiet neighborhood. Suddenly, we hear
00:25:14
barking and turn to see a very angry German shepherd barreling out of a driveway across the

the street charging straight at my dog Of course I had no idea what to do I was already imagining how I would pull that dog away from mine and how much damage it could do first Fortunately my mom and
00:25:33
I had swapped leashes, so she had my dog and I was a few yards behind with one of hers.
00:25:38
I watched as she calmly stepped in front of my dog, planted her feet and said in a firm,
00:25:44
I mean business voice, hey, knock it off. To my amazement, that dog stopped in its track.
00:25:51
it reminded me so much of something you would say as like a like what your moms would sound like
00:25:57
to you guys hey knock it off knock it off yeah um that dog stopped in its tracks i mean it skidded
00:26:05
to a halt so fast it looked like something out of a cartoon then tail between its legs it turned and
00:26:12
ran back home oh i could not believe what i'd just seen but my mom just shrugged and said
00:26:18
something about letting him know that his behavior was unacceptable. Then she continued our walk like
00:26:24
nothing had happened. I suspect there's a big overlap between training your dogs and being a
00:26:29
mom. Oh, yeah. I love the show. Thanks for all you do, Kim. Well, yeah, you got to say stuff like
00:26:36
you mean it. And you got to sometimes you have to scare people a little bit to get the message
00:26:42
through And ultimately everybody wants someone else to be in charge Everybody wants to be told because no one knows what the fuck they doing And maybe a little shame too Like you acting like an idiot Yeah like hold on And then you like you right I just running down the driveway barking like a lunatic
00:26:57
