00:02:22
You sent it to us. We read it to you. That's right. It's so exciting. All right.
00:02:26
I'm not going to read this subject line. It gives it away. But one of the greatest intros ever.
00:02:31
Okay. Hi, guys, gals, and non-binary pals. Yes. Love it. Right? Inclusive. I'm currently rocking my newborn to sleep, listening to your podcast, and was reminded
00:02:40
about a chilling story from my childhood that I had to share. So when I was a wee youngin, my mom thought it would be a great idea to have my twin brother
00:02:48
and I take photos at the school she worked at. apparently this was a yearly thing where a photographer let's call him richard would come
00:02:56
take slightly incestuous photos of siblings who went to school together what what how my brother
00:03:04
and i were the lucky ones to pose holding hands hugging a tree super great they're just saying
00:03:10
that basically it's like stuff that siblings would normally never be doing okay because that remember
00:03:15
it's like you you'd have to take a picture it's like you and your sister cheek to cheek where it's
00:03:20
We have one where we're leaning our heads on my brother who's in between us and I'm making a face of like, just I don't want to be here, Faith.
00:03:27
Yeah. Just get me out of here before one of these two people punches me. Right. Exactly.
00:03:35
Well, I was looking at the photo the other day and my mom said nonchalantly, I love those pictures.
00:03:41
Too bad the guy who took them was a murderer. Shocked, I asked her to explain. She said that every year Richard and his wife, we'll call her Pam, would come to school and take pictures.
00:03:52
Pam was always in good spirits and assisted Richard in lighting, poses, etc. Well, one night Pam was found bludgeoned to death in the snow in front of her house.
00:04:02
Richard had been physically and emotionally abusing her for years, killed her with a baseball bat, and he was later found in their garage having killed himself.
00:04:12
Apparently, Pam had been working at a, well, we'll just say she had been working part time
00:04:16
and told her co-workers that if anything had happened to her, Richard was to blame.
00:04:22
Richard and Pam are survived by two daughters, one of which is adamant that her father didn't do it.
00:04:27
Thank you for keeping me awake during my son's 4 a.m. feedings, especially since his dad is deployed and my dog doesn't help much with the baby.
00:04:36
Stay sexy and don't trust baby photographers. All the best, bae. Wow, what a horrible story all around.
00:04:45
Horrifying. Just awful. And I wonder if this story is especially sensitive to a new young mother.
00:04:52
Oh, yeah. A baby photographer where it's just like, I bet that's the kind of stuff that all comes back up as your, well, I mean, her mom said it, but.
00:04:59
Right. But also just as now you're in that position of like, where you're bringing your kids and what you decide to do.
00:05:06
And who you expose them to and not having any idea. Yeah. Yeah. I think a new parent is just constant red flags everywhere you look.
00:05:15
Oh, it must be. Yeah. It must be. It must be. All right. This one, this is called Christmas Eve Near Murder Miracle.
00:05:25
Oh. Okay. It just starts, hey. Hey. Hey. My husband and I were flying home on Christmas Eve when we got a text from a neighbor that
00:05:35
read, OMG, someone just got shot in your driveway. With that, the flight attendant shut the main cabin door and we were forced to turn off the phone and sit in suspense for the next two and a half hours.
00:05:48
Oh, my God. By the time we got home, there was nothing left but a medium sized bloodstain in our driveway.
00:05:55
However we were able to piece together what happened Thanks to our neighbors the police and our security cams which caught a lot of the action Apparently a group of four guys at a nearby apartment complex had tried to buy pot which is not legal here using counterfeit money
00:06:12
Oh, don't do that, guys. I honestly didn't even know counterfeit money was still a thing.
00:06:18
It's always a thing. That's like a piece of paper that you draw on. Counterfeit money now more than ever.
00:06:25
the dealers took offense and shot the guys as they drove away. Four bullets went into the side of the car, one hitting the driver in the leg.
00:06:34
One last shot went through the back window, missed all four guys and lodged in the back of the driver's headrest.
00:06:41
Oh, exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark. But he didn't get it. Yeah.
00:06:45
Yeah. So the guys speed off in terror. They turned on our street and at about when they hit our driveway,
00:06:50
they realized the street is dead end. So they pull in and ditch the car running into our backyard.
00:06:56
We're assuming the plan was to run through to another street. But luckily for them, our yard backs up to a reservoir.
00:07:03
This is when the adrenaline starts wearing off and the driver realizes that he's spurting blood from his leg.
00:07:09
They get back to the front yard and call 911. That's when my neighbor's son, a former police officer and current owner of a tattoo parlor,
00:07:18
a.k.a. a very big guy comes over and shouts at them to, quote, get on the ground now.
00:07:25
He ends up having to use his own belt to tourniquet the guy's leg and probably saved his life.
00:07:30
By then, the cops are pulling up. The guy who was shot went to the hospital and the other three guys had to wait for one of their grandmas to pick them up since the cops towed the car for evidence.
00:07:40
Oh, my God. Probably not a very Merry Christmas for any of them. But hey, it could have been a lot worse.
00:07:47
Stay sexy and just legalize pot already, Sarah. Don't ever use... Listen, don't do drugs.
00:07:57
Drugs are, you know, drugs are drugs. Don't use counterfeit money for anything, especially illegal things.
00:08:06
Not with a drug dealer. You fool. I bet you they're not fucking around. You know where you use counterfeit money?
00:08:13
Just this is off the top of my head. like a red box machine you know somewhere i guess i don't know they take cash but you know
00:08:21
something like that yeah of ski ball like somewhere where you're just you're hurting
00:08:27
yourself that would hurt the business too but yeah yeah don't use counterfeit money
00:08:31
but not with a drug dealer absolutely not they always have guns they have to they have to wow yeah so that's that okay hi friends i can't believe that after all these
00:08:45
faithful murderino years, I never thought to send this to you. But after the documentary about the
00:08:49
killer in question came up in a recent episode, my memory was jogged and I thought you might enjoy
00:08:55
this story. A few years ago, one of the owners of my company was going through a full on midlife
00:08:59
crisis. Having recently separated from his high school sweetheart wife, he found himself heartbroken
00:09:05
and rich with lots of wild oats to sow. So he did what most attractive recently single wealthy men
00:09:11
in their late 40s do. And he bought a sports car and got a killer bachelor pad and hosted
00:09:19
Hefner level parties every night with 20 something year old strippers. Yeah. So after enduring weeks
00:09:25
of late night drunken hot tub shenanigans, his downstairs neighbor was more than fed up.
00:09:29
One morning, he awoke from his stupor to find a note taped to his front door that said,
00:09:35
if I have to clean cigarette butts up off my balcony one more night, thanks to your parties,
00:09:40
you and I are going to have serious problems, signed your downstairs neighbor. Unfazed, he went about his day, but happened to mention this note and its contents to his doorman as he was leaving for work.
00:09:52
The doorman's eyes immediately widened in a very concerned tone. And he said, sir, do you know who your downstairs neighbor is?
00:10:01
To which the owner replied, no, why? and the doorman paused looked around moved in closer and said sir your neighbor is robert durst
00:10:11
i knew it i was gonna call it oh my god that's right robert fucking durst suffice it to say a
00:10:19
love note from a serial killer who was not only who not only murdered his neighbor but dismembered
00:10:24
him too was all that that's right oh yes it was his neighbor oh my god i totally didn't even think
00:10:30
about that. That was all DB needed to put an immediate end to his party boy ways for which
00:10:35
his liver and brain cells were eternally grateful. He even ended up reconciling with his wife.
00:10:41
So I guess to some degree, Robert Durst saved not only his health, but also his marriage.
00:10:46
Not really sure what we all can take from this one, except to say, stay sexy and maybe do some
00:10:54
research to see if you have a neighbor dismembering serial killer in your building before you
00:10:59
accidentally wind up on his bad side. Love y'all. XOXO. Name withheld to protect my career just in
00:11:06
case. Absolutely. Yeah. That's just real. To me, that's like in California, you'd have to disclose
00:11:12
that. But like anywhere else in the country, you wouldn't like, hey, your neighbor has murdered
00:11:17
neighbor before. Right. I mean, do you have to disclose that though? You don't have to disclose
00:11:24
shit. I feel like if you're like out and about, you just get to go live and people it's like if
00:11:30
you have that's the thing about rich murderers is they can do whatever they want, because they have
00:11:35
the money to do whatever they want. Or people who got off. That's why I'm because they're rich.
00:11:40
You can't guys be real. Don't flip people off in the car. That's my thing is like,
00:11:45
you just don't know who you're driving next to you know what I mean? Yes, you're gonna have you that's a great opportunity. If you're feeling road rage to
00:11:53
practice just separating yourself from your emotional tidal wave and saying let it flow through you and don react real time Because especially these days where people are just getting angrier and angrier and angrier
00:12:09
Everyone's so stressed. Everyone's stressed and enraged and you just don't want it.
00:12:14
This one is called Creeping Out the FBI. Greetings, MFM crew and furry companions.
00:12:21
I'm a crime analyst for an urban police department. Several years ago, my partner and I, along with other analysts in our area, got to take some specialized training at the FBI Academy in Quantico.
00:12:32
Behavioral analysis is part of our certification training, but we mostly see serial property crime and not serial killers.
00:12:40
So being in the FBI BAU is a big deal. After one of our sessions, they took us down to the basement where they had some artifacts to show us.
00:12:48
The first thing we saw was a life-size animatronic Hannibal Lecter in a cell who greeted us as we got off the elevator.
00:12:55
We went to a small room where they had letters, drawings, and papers on display.
00:13:00
We were shown a letter that I recognized as being from Keith Jesperson. So I said, oh, that's the happy face killer.
00:13:07
There were a few clown paintings that I recognized as being done by John Wayne Gacy.
00:13:10
This happened with a few other items, and our instructor turned to look at me and said, is there something we should know about you?
00:13:16
I was a bit embarrassed to be the only analyst who could identify a lot of the objects.
00:13:21
I guess all analysts aren't naturally murderinos. Stay sexy and never let the FBI know how much you know about serial killers are.
00:13:30
I mean, shouldn't they all know that? They freaked out the FBI. Congratulations.
00:13:36
A, I want you to be at every dinner party I have when this is all over. But also, I love that it sounds like it's like the wax museum in their basement.
00:13:45
I was like, an animatronic Hannibal Lecter is corny as fuck. It is. And did my tax dollars go to pay for that is my second question.
00:13:53
What do you... Did you seize that from someone's help? I better bring a fucking gift from some foundation.
00:14:01
Wow. Hey, everyone. It's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club.
00:14:11
This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook Project Hail Mary, massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth.
00:14:27
I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections.
00:14:35
And it's like, okay, yo, yo, yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it.
00:14:38
I was like, no, at this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the
00:14:43
listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me.
00:14:52
And I left it on the mic. That's great. Because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end.
00:14:58
It's like, yeah, dude, me too. Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:16:22
Okay. I've submitted this story before, but after hearing your episode from stories from 2016, I figured I'd try it again. Here's to hoping. It worked. It worked. Yes, please, if you haven't, try again. We've told you this before. Yeah. On to the story. My great grandma was raised in southern Utah during the early 1900s. Really? So that's long ago. Hot. It's very hot. Okay. It's hot, hot and salty. Her name was Bonnie.
00:16:50
okay you saw people sent have sent us so many bonnies that are bunnies but we also got a couple
00:16:57
bonnies that are babies oh and the two that i saw were two of the cutest babies i've seen
00:17:03
in a while oh my god yeah you got to pull that name off with really oh yeah they they nailed it
00:17:11
they're just like there are some bonnie baby bonnies out there and there they are okay her
00:17:17
name was bonnie but everyone called her good witch she owned her own cafe baked the best pies
00:17:22
cinnamon rolls and homemade candies she led her local women's relief society swore like a sailor
00:17:28
made and sold bootleg moonshine during prohibition and raised 10 kids yeah the two youngest of which
00:17:35
she won in a pinochle game what i'm sorry does it say anything more about that no no that's the end of the paragraph holy shit what the
00:17:46
Fuck. You're going to have to write back in about that. Yeah. That's horrifying.
00:17:51
But although it essentially like the Wild West Totally Is what we talking about Totally Okay Growing up she was one of 12 children who lived in a small two house in the middle of nowhere what is now Zion National Park
00:18:05
In the spring of 1900, an outlaw gang called the Wild Bunch were on the run from the law and were making their way from Arizona to Wyoming by way of Utah.
00:18:16
That April, my grandma's parents were making their monthly multi-day trip into town for supplies
00:18:21
and left my 10-year-old grandmother in charge of her younger siblings. Knowing that the wild bunch was potentially in the area,
00:18:30
her parents instructed her to lock the door and keep the lamps out so as not to draw attention to the house
00:18:36
and under no circumstances to let anyone in. Oh my God. That evening, my grandma was awoken by the sound of men's voices.
00:18:45
She looked out the window and saw a group of men roaming around her home. She grabbed her four siblings, her youngest sister being just about a year old, and hid under the bed.
00:18:55
One of the men knocked on the door, and when they didn't receive an answer, proceeded to break in.
00:18:59
The group of men entered the house, and once they thought no one was there, made themselves at home, eating their food and making a fire.
00:19:07
One even slipped his boots off and laid down on the bed under which the kids were hiding.
00:19:13
As my grandma listened to the men chat, they called one of them by his name and she realized the man laying on the bed above her was Butch Cassidy, the leader of the wild bunch.
00:19:24
She was obviously scared for her life and she knew if they were discovered, they could be taken hostage or killed.
00:19:31
Luckily, she and her siblings kept quiet and the baby stayed asleep. They hid in total silence for hours before the baby finally woke up and made a little whimper.
00:19:41
hearing this the men suddenly stopped talking and drew their guns butch got off the bed lifted the
00:19:47
blanket and looked under the bed he and my grandma locked eyes he winked and smiled at her oh my god
00:19:54
he then announced to the others that there was no one there and instructed all the men to remove
00:19:59
their guns and place them on the table in the middle of the room i've since read about butch
00:20:04
cassidy who contrary to popular belief was famously non-violent and prided himself for
00:20:09
never having killed anyone. So this move makes total sense. My grandma said that she knew
00:20:15
then that the men weren't going to hurt her and she actually felt safe. She and her siblings eventually
00:20:21
fell asleep. Sometime during the early morning hours, the gang left. When she woke up in the morning, the men were
00:20:27
gone, the door was fixed, the woodpile restocked, and a pile of cash sat in the middle of
00:20:33
the table. I always knew she was a badass. I'm hearing this story only confirmed it.
00:20:41
She passed away in the 1990s and left behind an amazing lifetime of stories that are captured in her
00:20:47
daily journal entries, My Prized Possession. Stay well and thanks for all you do, Nick.
00:20:54
That is a fucking legendary hometown story. Historic. That's so good. I mean, oh my god.
00:21:04
Butch Cassidy was next to his grandma. Oh my god, Butch Cassidy They left you guys money because you had little kids you needed to feed.
00:21:10
Why did they leave a 10-year-old in charge of three children by themselves in the middle of a national park?
00:21:16
Next time we complained about the 80s. Let's remember. They weren't shit compared to the 1900s.
00:21:23
The early aughts were fucked. Fucking right. Holy shit, Nick. That was incredible.
00:21:29
This story did have it all. Nick nailed it. Okay. Well, I have a father story to end with.
00:21:34
The families. My Scottish father taught me how to headbutt people. Yes. Heidi ho, MFM gang.
00:21:44
Perfect. I just finished listening to your mini-sode with the key-in-cheek story where the reader mentioned that her mother taught her self-defense skills.
00:21:52
I thought you might like to hear about how my Scottish father, which somehow makes it so much fucking better even, taught me, female, and my two older brothers how to headbutt people as children.
00:22:03
Yes. For self-defense. The Glasgow hello. That's right. And then it says for self-defense, question mark.
00:22:12
Not really. I distinctly remember my dad describing to me the, quote, right way to headbutt people.
00:22:18
I was maybe eight or nine years old at the time. It says, quote, people think that you headbutt the other person's head, but you'll hurt yourself with skull to skull contact.
00:22:29
The thing for you to do is use your forehead and get them in the jaw to dislocate it or get them in the bridge of the nose and break that, he told me.
00:22:38
Which I actually think is great advice, and I'm glad we all know it now. I mean, yeah, it's something when you're in a pinch.
00:22:45
Yeah, don't ever forget the ye olde headbutt. Okay. Yeah. I have yet to use this knowledge in the real world.
00:22:51
Bummer. But my dad and my oldest brother have used it a number of times. my mom always tells the story about going to the bar for drinks with my dad when they first started
00:23:00
dating she had turned her bar stool to have her back towards the wood and some random guy came up
00:23:05
to her grabbed her chest and gave it a squeeze my dad grabbed the guy by the collar and immediately
00:23:11
headbutted the guy knocking him out cold yep that's right it's kind of the perfect move because
00:23:18
it's like what you're basically doing is like controlling this controlling the situation there's
00:23:23
No fight where other people are going to get hurt. And also when you grab someone by the collar, like both of your hands are occupied.
00:23:29
They don't know anything's coming. They're almost relaxed in that way. I've seen headbutting became popular in my high school.
00:23:37
The senior boys. Yes. The senior boys would headbutt like the younger kids. It was like it was very high level bullying.
00:23:47
And I watched many of the boys in my class burst into tears because it was so. But they actually did it forehead to forehead.
00:23:54
And it was loud and it's very fucking disturbing. But I'll tell you what. I've also seen...
00:24:00
at a bar we both used to go to that the owner did when somebody was getting riled up in the front
00:24:08
and demanding that they get to come in and he walked them outside and then just headbutted them
00:24:11
on the sidewalk. I'm guessing it wasn't the fucking Soho house or like it was a divey dive bar.
00:24:18
Soho house. How we love to hang out at the fucking Soho house. Soho house. Oh, it's so great there.
00:24:27
How do you have multiple headbutting stories? And I don't have, I mean, I'm glad I don't have one.
00:24:31
It's just pretty. It's my people. It's how my people do things. It's pretty impressive, I have to say.
00:24:35
All right. So also, my mom tells the story of watching my oldest brother's soccer game at a soccer
00:24:41
tournament in Pentagon, British Columbia. I'm sure I got that wrong. He was about 14 years old at the time.
00:24:47
My brother got in a fight on the field and the other players spit on him, prompting my
00:24:52
brother to headbutt the kid. Hell yeah. My brother got a red card and was asked to leave the game.
00:24:57
My father, sitting in the bleachers, berated the referee, arguing it was a bad call.
00:25:03
The ref responded by ejecting my dad from the arena. My granddad, who was also there, argued with the ref about throwing my dad out and became the third person told to leave the arena.
00:25:15
Then Robert Wallace came and screamed freedom when the fucking ghost of their great showed up It says like father like son like grandson I guess Anyways well I haven had someone to mess with me enough to warn a headbutt I guess it nice to have the knowledge of how to
00:25:34
headbutt under my belt. Stay sexy. And if you're going to headbutt someone, aim for the nose,
00:25:40
Abigail. Yep. Hell yeah. It's bridge of the nose. I didn't know that if I were to have ever
00:25:45
headbutted anyone, which I honestly like, have always like in my anxiety, I've always
00:25:50
expected I'm going to have to do someday. It's just something. You've anticipated headbutting?
00:25:55
I've pictured it. Oh. Oh. Yeah. During my insomnia fights. It's been there. Fight plan.
00:26:03
Fight plan. But I didn't know. That's great to know. Yeah. These details are important to know actually how to do it.
00:26:09
I tell you, though, if I was in a bar and some fucking asshole came up and groped me,
00:26:15
the man who headbutted that asshole would be my betrothed. Totally. I mean, like what? No surprise. She married him.
00:26:22
I mean, that's the the dad should have been like, thank you so much, sir. Because you basically like you.
00:26:29
What's better than that? He takes care of shit. You don't get to touch people. And I'm going to teach you that lesson by slamming my forehead into your nose.
00:26:39
In the most efficient way possible. Yes. And it's going to be a total. It's going to be a KO in the middle of the bar.
00:26:45
I love that. I do love too that if a guy comes at you he expecting you to try to kick him in the balls right So this is another way to surprise attack surprise you maybe lift your leg you do kind of a faint you lift your leg as if you it
00:27:03
you're making the effort and then boom as you lift your leg and you're looking down
00:27:08
then you just slam your head some ab work going on in there too it's like you know
00:27:14
some yoga because you got a balance on one you're like also don't be afraid to drink like seven
00:27:21
shots of whiskey before you headbutt someone because I feel like that's the crucial element
00:27:26
that we're not discussing here. It's nice to be fucked up when you do it. Right. It's almost necessary.
00:27:31
