00:00:00
This is exactly right. Bro, from the show last night to this drive, why is it never chill?
00:00:10
Because this is our life. Backstage, on the road, it's loud, messy, real. And that's the best part. Whole crew, no plan, just moving.
00:00:19
Good thing Nissan builds for that kind of chaos. Not just test tracks, real life scenes. Late nights, road trips, all of it.

00:02:51
Come watch us. Game. Well, do you want to go first? Sure. The subject line of this is old school hometown.
00:03:02
Classic. It says, you asked for more hometowns in the classical style. So here, period, you, period, go.
00:03:10
Period. Most Minnesotans probably point to Jacob Wetterling as their true crime awakening, which Georgia told beautifully a while back.
00:03:18
But for me, it's always been the abduction and murder of Katie Poirier. In spring of 1999, 19-year-old Katie was working late night at a gas station in her hometown of Moose Lake.
00:03:31
A man in a Yankees jersey and a ball cap was seen on surveillance, coming in and speaking to Katie at the counter, then leading her out of the store by the neck.
00:03:40
Never to be seen again. Yeah. My family had to drive through Moose Lake on the way to my grandparents, and the highway was full of billboards asking for any information on Katie's whereabouts.
00:03:50
The one I remember the clearest was Katie in a silver satiny button-up with hair pulled back in a scrunchie.
00:03:57
Literally could have been any girl in the late 90s. It's been 21 years, and I still haven't forgotten it.
00:04:03
Luckily, an employee at the subway next door had seen a Ford truck pull up to the station and took notice of the license plate.
00:04:12
Thank you. Brilliant. Starting with 557 and ending with a Y. As sketches of the captor and the surveillance video, which got sent to NASA for detail refinement, went to the 1999 version of Minnesota Viral,
00:04:27
a co-worker of Donald Hutchinson noticed some similarities and remembered him being weird the week of the abduction and called the police less than a month later.
00:04:37
Turns out Hutchinson was actually Donald Blom, who had been working under a pseudonym and had a history of abducting women, which at one point landed him on the sex offender registry.
00:04:49
He had taken his third wife's last name when they married as a way to escape his background.
00:04:55
Red flag. Right? His truck's license plate was 557 HDY, and he had property near the gas station.
00:05:04
After a thorough investigation, police found bone and tooth fragments in his fire pit.
00:05:09
They were Katie's. Blom was convicted of first-degree murder in the summer of 2000.
00:05:14
He is appealed, but his wife, who originally had provided an alibi in the trial,
00:05:18
recanted her statement to legislators, saying that he was not home the night of the abduction,
00:05:23
and she believed him to be the killer as he had been abusing her for the majority of their marriage
00:05:28
and would often be missing for days. Police have since tried to tack him to other cases of abducted and murdered women in the Minnesota, Wisconsin area.
00:05:38
In the early 90s, he was a key suspect in one disappearance under the name Donald Pence.
00:05:43
But they have not been able to make anything stick. At least he is forever behind bars.
00:05:49
Katie's billboards changed from calls for help to memorials. And that when my love of true crime began SSDGM No name Wow What a tragic story Yeah I mean that unfolding as you a child and seeing it in billboards and hearing your parents talk about it and teachers and stuff is just like it sear into your memory for the rest of your life you know
00:06:15
Yeah. And also, I think that when they said it like the 90s way of going viral, that thing where you would see something like that, and it would be so shocking and striking, because that was the only way they could get word out, right, that this girl was missing and that people, they needed help and they needed people to participate. And God bless that, like, that that person who worked at Subway was paying attention and cared enough to like write down what they saw and remember.
00:06:43
The person saved so many lives because that guy would have obviously, I believe, I'm sure he did it before.
00:06:49
I'm sure he would have kept doing it. It's incredible. Yeah, it's so good. Yeah, that's a good one.
00:06:55
That was a great one. Good job. Good job, nameless, wonderful email writer. Good job.
00:07:01
Good job. This one is called My Uncle Was Arrested for Murder. And I picked these out like a week ago, so I don't remember what they say.
00:07:11
And it's going to be a surprise to me, too. So that's what makes it fun and exciting.
00:07:16
Exactly. Hello, all. As soon as I was introduced to your podcast, I knew that I needed to write in to share my story.
00:07:22
And I'm finally getting around to it. Hashtag quarantine. The story is a bit long, so sorry.
00:07:27
But this is something that completely rocked my whole world. Family secrets always sound super cool until they happen to you slash involve murder.
00:07:36
I'm 22 years old and only recently found out about my family's deep and dark secret.
00:07:41
Let's rewind to how I found out. Last winter, my older sister and my father were sitting in the living room having a discussion.
00:07:47
When I walked into the room, they immediately got quiet. And after a few seconds, my sister said, yeah, she definitely doesn't know.
00:07:54
Obviously intrigued, I asked who didn't know what. And my dad looked at my sister and then back at me and asked if I knew how my aunt, my mom's sister-in-law, had died.
00:08:04
When I answered saying she was in an accident, my dad nodded and proceeded to ask if I knew what kind of accident.
00:08:10
My apparently naive and stupid self replied, car? Because when you grew up being told your aunt died in an accident, I feel like it's normal to presume it was a car accident.
00:08:21
Or am I wrong? Question mark, question mark. No. My dad shook his head no and said that he didn't think I wanted to know how it happened because it was sad.
00:08:29
Therefore, my first thought was suicide. When I suggested that option, my dad shook his head no again and said she was murdered.
00:08:36
Your uncle strangled her. This was the first and last time that anyone in my family would talk about the murder with me because I was obviously not going to leave it at that.
00:08:46
I did some digging on my own. And after a lot of research, I found out that my uncle, all caps, my mother's brother and my aunt were having an argument about leaving him for another man when my uncle got so angry that he beat and strangled her with his hands.
00:09:02
When he, quote, snapped back to reality, he saw my aunt lying on the ground. My uncle was the one who called 911, which is why it was ruled first-degree manslaughter instead of murder.
00:09:15
He was sentenced to 8 to 25 years and was released after 8, which happened to be a few months before I was born.
00:09:23
My family pretends nothing happened, and if I hadn't walked into my dad and sister's conversation that day, then I would have known nothing about this.
00:09:31
To this day, my mom does not know that I know, and it was implied that I should never bring it up again.
00:09:37
I understand wanting to put the past behind you, but I also think that I deserve to know that the same hand that shakes my boyfriend's hand on the holidays and the ones that helped raise me when I was little were also the sole weapons in a murder.
00:09:51
I hope that your family secrets aren't as dark and twisted as mine. Stay sexy and don't get murdered, especially by your uncle.
00:09:57
here's what surprises me or like what i didn't see coming yeah is that they're still a part of
00:10:04
the they're still in the family yeah and look we don't know the details we don't know the context
00:10:10
um no judgment right but i was like oh that it's like it happened and then and then move on there
00:10:19
yeah they're just i mean who knows who knows what the context was but oh my god it's that thing you
00:10:26
Like you can never imagine how a family deals with something like that until you're that family.
00:10:33
And I'm sure it's like you have all these we have all these like I would never do this and I would always do this and I would do that and that.
00:10:38
And it's like, OK, well, then that's your brother, too, that you grew up with. So. Right. What the fuck?
00:10:44
And I feel like when we started this podcast, it was easy to do that because we were so far on the outside.
00:10:51
And the longer we do this and the more people we meet and the more emails we read, it is not that simple, obviously.
00:10:58
That's like such a that's our learning curve is that kind of thing where this I think it happens more than people think it does.
00:11:05
And I think that those the complexity of anything like that is like you just can't say.
00:11:13
And you, you know, from the outside, you can say whatever you want about what you think you would do.
00:11:18
You have no clue what you would do if someone, if it was that close to you. It's beyond comprehension until you have to fucking deal with it.
00:11:27
And then you have no idea. I also think it's interesting that I wonder if that person was the youngest or like, did they say?
00:11:36
No, but I'm guessing. Why they would be kind of like the last to find out. That happened to me in our family all the time.
00:11:43
Obviously, not to that extent. But to the extent of like, my cousin got divorced and everyone forgot to tell me.
00:11:50
And I was in the wedding. Like, it wasn't like I didn't know my cousin. It was like very close to me And then I saw after they broke up we all saw him And then I asked him where she was because I thought they were still married
00:12:06
And then his whole face dropped. It was a dramatic thing. And I turned to my mom and my aunt, Gina.
00:12:11
I was like, you never tell me anything. I had an almost temper tantrum because I was so embarrassed.
00:12:17
And because they would do that all the time. That's pertinent information if you're going to see that person ever again.
00:12:23
Yes. Like, but maybe they just didn't expect it. But it is that kind of thing where I think, you know, sometimes that is the coping mechanism, which is just we don't we're not going to just we're not going to talk about it.
00:12:35
And we keep it a secret as long as we can. Totally. That makes sense. Wow. Also just like hard and awful.
00:12:42
Yeah. All right. Here, want some more hard and awful stuff? Yes, please. I've got one right here for you.
00:12:48
My relatives was very similar. my relatives and then parentheses yes that's plural are in prison for murder whoa hi karen
00:12:56
georgia steven and pets i love your podcast and i wanted to share my family story i live in a small
00:13:03
town of about a thousand people in alberta canada in 2011 a relative of mine miles nasland went
00:13:10
missing his wife helen suggested to police that he may have died by suicide miles was an abusive
00:13:16
alcoholic and they were having financial issues as well. Helen also struggled with depression and
00:13:22
had attempted suicide. Things were not going well for Miles and Helen, so the police did consider
00:13:27
Miles a missing person and most people believed that it was suicide. Six years later, an underwater
00:13:34
recovery team from the RCMP searched the slough near their farm. In the water, they found a large
00:13:41
toolbox and I bet you can guess what was in it. In 2011, Miles and Helen were fixing farm
00:13:47
equipment that broke down while Helen was operating it and Miles was very angry. He told
00:13:52
Helen that she would, quote, pay dearly for damaging the equipment. Miles' anger continued
00:13:59
that evening when he knocked everything off the kitchen table during dinner, telling Helen, quote,
00:14:03
this meal was not fit for a dog. That night, Helen decided that she had had enough. While he was
00:14:10
sleeping, she shot him twice in the back of the head. The next day, Helen and one of their three
00:14:15
sons put his body in a toolbox along with some added weights. They welded the box shut and threw
00:14:21
it in the water near their house. They threw the guns in the water and burned the mattress and
00:14:26
bedding. Helen reported to police the next day that he was missing. And for six years, Helen and
00:14:32
her son got away with it until her son revealed the secret to a friend. Soon after that, Miles'
00:14:39
his body was found. In October of 2020, Helen pled guilty to manslaughter and her son pled
00:14:45
guilty to offering indignity to human remains. She's now serving 18 years in prison while her
00:14:51
son is serving three. And that's the story of my criminal relatives. Thanks for reading.
00:14:57
Stay sexy and don't tell your friends where you hid the body. Wow, that's fresh. That's less than a month ago.
00:15:04
Right. Holy crap. that's right it did they just they just went to jail yeah it's more heavy family yeah that's a
00:15:14
family that's a six-year family secret i would imagine yeah wow six years that could have
00:15:21
continued on yeah if that guy hadn't gotten high and told his friends a secret i mean i that would
00:15:28
make sense like after that amount of time that first of all i think that would feel like so much
00:15:32
longer than six years. And then you're just like, he's gonna or it's like, I've known this person
00:15:38
for fucking 15 years, they would never tell anyone. And then it's like, you underestimate
00:15:42
how freaked out people are going to be by you saying that, you know, my God, like, I don't
00:15:49
mean, yeah, I love my friends. I don't think there's a single one of them. I wouldn't fucking
00:15:52
rat on if I found out about that. Oh, I'd rat both of you out in a heartbeat. Just immediately. You told on us, even though we didn't do anything.
00:16:02
told the cops about it. Have you looked at Stephen Ray Morris for this? I just think.
00:16:08
I really think you should dig up his backyard. Oh, man. Yeah. Okay. Just keep coming.
00:16:13
I mean, truly. This one's called Found a Box of Murder Victim Remains at Work. I just started a new job
00:16:19
at a small history museum. The other day, as I was putting some things away in the collections room,
00:16:24
I decided to snoop around a little because I am not yet familiar with the collection.
00:16:29
I saw a box on a low shelf simply labeled post-mortem miscellaneous. Obviously, this sparked my interest.
00:16:36
Having come from working at a 19th century medical history museum, fucking amazing, probably, right?
00:16:41
Yeah, God. I expected this box to contain post-mortem dissection kits that doctors use to dissect cadavers.
00:16:48
I lifted up the lid and was immediately shocked to see some foot bones inside of a decaying sock and shoe, a skull,
00:16:56
and some mysterious wet specimens in little jars. I was equally freaked out and intrigued, but not wanting to welcome any bad juju into my life, I shut the lid on the box and went back upstairs to the office to inquire about the body parts I had casually encountered on a Wednesday morning at work.
00:17:13
Turns out that my boss is a retired homicide detective and had used these homicide victims' remains as educational tools when he taught forensics to new detectives in the 70s and 80s.
00:17:25
Some of these are remains that he literally found on the job. I assume he is authorized to have them now, but honestly, who knows?
00:17:33
It was the 70s. Yeah, really? Apparently, he now uses these remains to increase the scare factor at Halloween themed events at the museum and local historic cemetery.
00:17:42
As if the 18th and 19th century cemetery at night isn't creepy enough on its own.
00:17:48
Yeah, he is a character. Stay sexy and beware when opening boxes labeled post-mortem miscellaneous.
00:17:54
Catherine. Sorry for needing this clarity Go ahead Yes Were the remains from the 1800s The remains were from pre and 80s it looks like
00:18:06
And then the cemetery in town is from the 18th and 19th century. Okay. We're just going to assume and hope that they've been ID'd.
00:18:19
Yes. Cases have been cleared. protocol has been met and shook hands with. These are
00:18:27
just John Doe remains and not... It makes me think of that story. Remember the story I did
00:18:36
where the TV show was shooting at the carnival and they thought it was a stuffed
00:18:41
mannequin? Throughout the ages had been through different things. It was an actual person's body.
00:18:49
I mean, one would hope. Why is it always chaos when we link up? Cause nobody plans anything bro.

00:20:36
This week on the podcast, I'm sitting down with Will Wheaton, who played Gordy Lachance in Stand By Me 40 years ago
00:20:43
and now narrates Stephen King's The Body, the novella that inspired it all. We talk about what it's like to return to a story that shaped his life,
00:20:52
channeling his memories of River Phoenix and the recording booth, and why the friendships you have at 12 might be the most important ones you'll ever have.
00:21:01
I know Gordy Lachance. I am Gordy Lachance. Like, I mean, even when I was a little kid, I was Gordy Lachance.
00:21:08
when I didn't know it. Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeart Radio app
00:21:15
or wherever you get your podcasts. This, I love this one. I'm not going to read you the subject line
00:21:22
because it'll wreck it. Dear MFM, I was nine years old in 1984 when Stranger Danger
00:21:28
was at an all-time high in my small Canadian suburb. Have all mine been Canadians?
00:21:33
Yeah. Nice. Oh, Canada. Okay. It wasn't just paranoia. The local paper had multiple stories of young girls being approached by a creepy teenager trying to lure them off the playground at nearby schools. Despite many descriptions given to the police, they couldn't find the guy. One day, my friend Natalie and I were walking home for lunch because, yes, in 1984, even a roaming neighborhood predator wasn't enough motivation for our parents to pick us up from school.
00:22:03
Oh, that is just classic. It's very much the truth. I mean, they talk about how like the stranger danger thing like said in this paranoia and stuff, but I think it was needed.
00:22:15
Yeah. I don't know if it was an overreaction. It's almost like stranger danger because we're still going to let you run free.
00:22:22
So make sure you don't talk to strangers because you're not going to have any protection otherwise.
00:22:26
Yeah, because there will be no adult around. So you're on your own kind of negotiating this situation.
00:22:31
The only weapon you have is to not talk to that person you don't know. That's it.
00:22:36
Oh, and I'm surprised there weren't posters that just said, run, run, run away. Don't forget to run.
00:22:42
It's okay to run away. Okay, so that was one long sentence. So basically, I'll read the beginning without that funny parenthetical.
00:22:51
One day, my friend Natalie and I were walking home for lunch when we saw a teenage boy approaching us through a heavily treed path up ahead.
00:22:59
Immediately, Natalie grabbed my arm and pointed. This guy's zipper was down and his penis was sticking right out.
00:23:07
Frozen with shock, we stopped in our tracks on the path. He walked straight up to us and said, you like this?
00:23:14
You want to touch it? 36, and this is in parentheses, 36 years later, and I will never forget those creepy words.
00:23:21
With all the courage I could muster, I quietly said, no, that's gross. He stared down at us for a second and then just walked away.
00:23:31
My heart was pounding. I couldn't believe I'd come face to face with a guy who had been eluding local police for weeks.
00:23:38
But here's the thing. This dick had flashed the wrong girls. Turns out he lived directly across the street from Natalie.
00:23:46
Holy shit. She knew his name and his address. We both ran home to our moms and the cops were at the pervs house before we finished eating lunch.
00:23:56
Yes. We even got driven back to school in a place. car because yes in 1984 even an attempted sexual assault wasn't an excuse to stay home
00:24:06
the best part was reading about his arrest in the local paper where the police thanked quote
00:24:12
two brave fourth grade girls for his capture which made us feel extra badass stay sexy and
00:24:19
keep it in your pants jay uh amazing amazing great job finally something uplifting from canada
00:24:28
for once jesus canada brave fourth grade girls i remember when i was in like kindergarten i was
00:24:38
super like around that age and i was walking home from school alone as you do when you're five
00:24:42
because i was a latchkey kid god was i that young okay and there was five or six yeah yeah there were
00:24:48
some teenage what looked like to me teenage boys hanging out in our little cul-de-sac you know
00:24:52
parking lot and i'm sure they weren't teenagers but i'm and i'm sure they were just fucking with
00:24:58
this little five-year-old and they go, hey, little girl, want some candy? You know, like the classic.
00:25:03
And I yelled no and ran to my house, which where they could see where I lived, but and I was alone
00:25:07
all day, whatever. But I was so proud of myself because I was, I had, you know, dare was a big
00:25:12
thing. So proud of myself. You said no to their candy and their drugs. No. Yeah, that's right.
00:25:19
Now I'm going to be alone in this house if you need anything else. Oh, knock right on this door
00:25:23
over here. I'll be watching cartoons. All right. Badass war grandma and a spy? Howdy. I've been a
00:25:33
big fan for a while and you two have really been getting me through Zoom lectures and accompanying
00:25:38
grievances. Very sexy of you. This is a badass grandma story. I know you love those. My grandma
00:25:45
Elsa was born in 1933 in Manila, Philippines. She grew up in a small village outside of the city
00:25:51
during World War II with her younger siblings and lots of cousins. When Japan invaded, Elsa and her family had to go into hiding
00:25:58
to avoid being arrested by Japanese soldiers. She told me about how she, at eight years old,
00:26:03
had to do all sorts of insane things to not get caught. She and her brothers hid in the mangroves
00:26:09
using a reed as a snorkel for over six hours. Oh, shit. Pretended to be dead on the side of the road.
00:26:17
Illegally bred tilapia in a well And then a gross white fish a gross white fish and even had to climb over a wall of dead bodies on more than one occasion Oh fucking eight years old Oh my God Everyone
00:26:33
she was hiding with had nicknames too, so as not to alert the Japanese to their identities or
00:26:38
location. This would explain my aunt named Ding Dong and her husband Ping Ping. Isn't that amazing?
00:26:44
Like you just call them that your whole lives and then you realize it's because they're fucking
00:26:48
war heroes. Yeah. The most unsettling thing she ever told me was that she, quote, could kill and eat
00:26:54
a horse if the moment ever arose. Can you imagine your grandma telling you that? Like,
00:27:00
night-night! Night-night, Emma! Her name's Emma. Just like an eight-year-old girl
00:27:05
snapping a horse's neck. Oh my god, and then like, and then, yeah. Jesus. First of all, that goes against
00:27:14
everything that's in a little girl. Totally. To kill a horse. I love Horses. Oh, really? Because I and your grandma and I can fucking kill and eat a horse if I wanted to.
00:27:22
I used to eat. I used to eat horses just for fun on the weekends. That's how that's what a badass I was.
00:27:28
Oh, my God. Elsa also told me about the horrible things she saw during the war, including watching her neighbors get taken by the Bataan Death March to be killed.
00:27:37
Oh, that's B-A-T-A-A-N. If anyone's into the Bataan Death March. If this wasn't a crazy enough experience for everyone in the Philippines at the time, apparently Elsa's uncle was a spy.
00:27:49
Then it says, of course he was. This crazy bastard hit a radio in the wall of a nunnery that the family was hiding in to send secret codes to Portugal and England in hopes of stopping the Japanese invasion.
00:28:01
I wasn't told a lot about this, but I guess he had a pretty big role because not soon after my grandma and her siblings found the radio, the war was over.
00:28:09
Whoa. Besides her horrible time growing up during a war and seeing some pretty gruesome things, Elsa turned out to be a total badass, which is like, what else are you going to fucking be?
00:28:18
Yeah. Hell yes, she was. She eventually got married and fled to England with her six kids, including my dad.
00:28:23
She taught them all of her war secrets and some less than lethal habits, like how to line a suitcase so TSA can't see what you have hidden in your suitcase.
00:28:33
Gather around, kids. is it um for strange soils or plants that you want to take to hawaii get over here i show you how to get oh you want to bring a lizard to your friends that you going to visit And here you go Thanks to Ireland Do it Some of her other escapades include building a plane with her husband
00:28:57
establishing a nightclub in Beijing under my family's name, founding an art collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila,
00:29:05
and visiting every continent. Yes, all of them. She lives a quieter life now in southern England,
00:29:11
working on a book about her time in the war. We'll see if she ever publishes it.
00:29:16
Can we start a fucking exactly right publishing company right now? Yes, this is it.
00:29:21
The imprint begins today. Stay sexy and don't eat a horse in wartime. Emma from Massachusetts.
00:29:30
Wow. Yeah. Okay. I'm obsessed with using a read as a snorkel. That's cartoon level shit.
00:29:41
Oh, my God. Just like, holy shit. And they just had to. They had to do what they had to do.
00:29:48
Totally. They had to wring that horse's neck. They had to. They had to survive a fucking war in their hometown.
00:29:55
And they fucking did it. It's just. Oh, my God. As children. It's crazy. Elsa. Massive high five.
00:30:04
What's funny is that Emma says that she's 20. She just gave her age. And so that means that Elsa could be like 60.
00:30:10
She could be like. We could be like drinking buddies with her, probably. Sweet. Sorry.
00:30:16
I don't think so, because what war? I assumed it was World War II. Right. No, that doesn't make any sense.
00:30:23
Oh, 1933. No, you're right. They're right. Mathematically, that doesn't work. It wouldn't work.
00:30:29
But we can still have a drink with her. I mean, we can still have fun. Obviously, the idea, too, that she went through such horrible things and then went on to be
00:30:40
like oh now i'm gonna live the most nuts life like i really want to talk about the nightclub
00:30:48
