that's from when this is over we're gonna watch but it's different now i i realize the in-depth
00:03:00
scratching of the tops of the backs of the hands i mean the whole it's like we're all surgeons

00:03:11
finally get buy some scrubs you can get them at your local cvs or duane reed wherever you live
00:03:17
and dress up like a surgeon. Pretend you're a surgeon. As you can see from looking at me right now,
00:03:24
I can't stop touching my face. For fuck's sake. Georgia's had both hands all over her face this whole time.
00:03:29
It's like, it's my thing. I do it. I just like lean on my finger at all times. Yes, that's true.
00:03:36
But I don't lean on this. I don't lean on my palm or any of my fingers. Like I've never done that because I have had acne before.
00:03:42
So now I just do it on my like knuckle. You kind of do it like you're in a cartoon panel.
00:03:48
Yeah. You know what I mean? It looks like that lady reporter isn't sure. So she's like, hmm.
00:03:53
Let me think of that. Hmm. One finger to the right in my dimple. Right. That's why I have dimples is I've just leaned on my finger.
00:03:59
Yeah, you push that skin in. I realized that I do a lot of full covering my mouth with both hands.
00:04:07
No, no. In a kind of like worry or concern way. No, you know what it is? Is I used to hate my teeth way.
00:04:13
Yes. Oh, that's very true. Right. I'm very used to touching and covering my mouth.
00:04:17
Yeah. Not anymore. Not with those beautiful teeth. Hello, everybody. Vince has been doing the panic shops.
00:04:25
He did the last one today. Nice. But not overboard. We're not trying to buy all the toilet paper.
00:04:29
Like leave some for the. Leave some for others. Leave some for people with IBS. You know what I mean?
00:04:34
Because because it won't help you. I mean, aside from that, you get two months worth of toilet paper.
00:04:39
Fine. Yeah. But after that, you don't let things kick in that don't apply. No. Tampons, that's another one.
00:04:46
I don't understand why people aren't fucking stocking up on. Yeah, that's what I did.
00:04:49
I bought all kinds of like big, huge maxi pads that made me feel great. But I went to do a shop like that because having just moved, I didn't have any sundries at my house.
00:05:02
Yeah. And Danielle, who runs our network, she and I were talking and she was going, you know, you just have like beans and rice.
00:05:09
and you can make a this. Flour and you can make your own bread. Right. She's talking about all these things.
00:05:13
And in my mind, I'm like, I don't know. I don't have any of these things. I can't even tell her.
00:05:16
Nothing in a can. Like there was no meal out of a can I could have. So I went at 6 a.m., went down to Ralph's, just did a shop, like went down every aisle
00:05:26
and was like, what do I actually like? Don't just buy. Yeah. Because I was going to grab like a b****.
00:05:30
I'm like, I don't like that. Oops, I shouldn't name the exacts. Bleep the bar name.
00:05:34
Yeah. But like get things you actually want. SpaghettiOs. Don't be crazy. to eat but at the same time it was just really funny and then right when I was done and it
00:05:42
really was by the end I was having a hard time pushing the cart. How much did you spend?
00:05:46
400 bucks. But I had to get I had to stock up on dog food. Yeah. Yeah. Like cans and cans of dog food in big bags.
00:05:53
And you'll use it in the future. Yeah. It just like should be there Yes But and then just things you know protein bars and things that actually cost more than regular If I could cook it would have been half that amount
00:06:05
Yeah. But I had to get a lot of stuff that's ready to go right now. Yeah. But when I came around the corner to get rung up, there's my friend Carrie Kemper that I
00:06:14
wrote on baskets with. Oh, my God. Who was doing the exact same thing. And she, it was so out of context that she looked at me with this look on her face and
00:06:22
I go, uh-oh, what's this lady doing? I was immediately like, what's she doing? And then we both started laughing.
00:06:27
We were laughing so hard. We're like, what the fuck is going on? We're both doing it in front of each other.
00:06:32
We caught each other. And it felt so good because it was like, we're not, it's not an overreaction.
00:06:38
No. You can do what you want to feel prepared and safe. It's totally okay. Feel safe.
00:06:43
And if you need to take a shot of Jack Daniels at 3 p.m., God bless your soul. Thank you.
00:06:48
What time is it right now? Fuck. Whatever you need. Like, everybody is scared. And you get to do what you need to have a touch of oblivion.
00:06:57
Can I tell you, we're in WrestleMania Watch 2020. Because fucking they haven't canceled that shit yet.
00:07:05
And I'm like, when Vince is going to divorce me if I tell him he can't go to Florida in early April to go to like wrestle his.
00:07:14
It's his crime con. Yes. It's like his fucking thing. His big deal. And there's no fucking way in hell I'm going to let him go to that.
00:07:22
I mean, this is your marriage Waterloo. What's going to happen in this great battle between the two stances?
00:07:30
We'll see. I mean, yeah, but that's the other thing is we don't know. We don't know times. We don't. That's part of the scary part.
00:07:37
But it's also you can flip it and think about it as this could also be over in two months or have died down in a meaningful way where it's not, you know, it's not as scary as it feels right now when it's all a question mark.
00:07:49
But then, you know, it's scary for people who have who can't take sick time, who get paid hourly.
00:07:56
Yes. I mean, I just it's it's horrible. You know, it's like, do we have I don't understand.
00:08:00
There's a lot going on. There's a lot scary. Well, you know, a lot of people have been people have been very cool on Twitter.
00:08:06
People are doing a lot of proactive. Here's what would help. Yeah. If you have extra money and you can donate to food banks because food banks are where people were kids who normally only eat at school, which is what a lot of people have been talking about.
00:08:18
is a real concern. 100%. My sister is a kindergarten teacher. Yeah. I remember when I used to think
00:08:23
we had co-teachers because we had a group first through third. It was that Montessori school.
00:08:29
We thought our two teachers because they were a man and a woman, we thought they were married
00:08:32
and lived at school. We were just like, oh yeah, this is like... Remember when you'd see your teacher
00:08:35
in the wild and your jury's just like, what in the absolute fuck is happening? I have been with my sister
00:08:40
when little kids run into her like at the mall and it is hilarious. They don't understand.
00:08:46
It's so cute. It's the cutest. So yeah, I think there's like, obviously, people are being forced into places they've never had to go before.
00:08:52
Right. But we all know we're we all know how to take care of each other. We're small businesses.
00:08:57
Make sure you're still supporting. Yeah. And if you go out and you do go to restaurants that are still open, please tip your staff 30 to 40.
00:09:05
Like 100%. We did that yesterday. Yeah. We did that yesterday. Tip them 100%. I felt so guilt.
00:09:11
It was so hard. Vince and I went to therapy, which was hard enough. and then to like leave the house.
00:09:19
And then we wanted to go get a drink, but I was like, I feel so awful if we go. And it's like the reason they're not closing the restaurant
00:09:25
is because they're still not patients and not clients. What's the word I'm looking for?
00:09:29
I think both though. Really? Yes. So we went. The needy are still there. That's right.
00:09:34
We went and I was just like, I wanted to apologize to everyone working there. But you know, it was,
00:09:39
we still ate and drank and tipped really well. But if you're a healthy individual
00:09:43
that hasn't traveled recently, And, you know, as far as you know, you are not carrying anything.
00:09:49
And that's the real problem is that that's the scariest part is we don't know how how we're anybody's transmitting.
00:09:55
But if you and all good faith is you have the money that's actually helping a local business, their doors are open.
00:10:02
It's up to them to close those doors and, you know, just make it worth everybody's while and be the kind of people that you want in a business when everyone's panicking as opposed to where's my French fries?
00:10:12
I told you to do it this way. I feel like maybe it would be good, too, for people who have the money for like if you're not having your like say your house cleaned every month, you're not having it done this month.
00:10:21
Maybe keep paying. Yes. Well, if you can. If you can. If you have the means or if you, you know, like if you go to private Pilates classes, which is a huge.
00:10:30
I'm so lucky that I'm able to do it. Maybe I keep paying for those classes. Let's hope it's only a month.
00:10:36
Yes. And I can do it. Yeah. Someone on basically off that exact idea, someone on Twitter said, if you can buy gift cards to local businesses and you can always use them later when you do feel comfortable going out and everything's fine.
00:10:49
And you can be supporting people right now. If you love this certain place that's nearby, you always go.
00:10:55
Just go get a gift certificate. And then they have money for the meantime when everything is a question mark.
00:11:01
I know. And I think also I think I'm going to try to bring back phone calls. I think this is going to be my goal.
00:11:08
I talked to my dad and my sister. Well, that's the other story. I was on the, I was rolling calls from 4am, but I just called my friend Carrie because
00:11:17
he just had a great live show for his podcast, Sexy Unique podcast. And it's him.
00:11:23
It's Laura Marie Schoenhalls. It's, she started the podcast, but Carrie is, does live shows with her, Carrie O'Donnell.
00:11:30
And they just had one at the Roxy and it was amazing. and so I was like yeah I can text this to him but he won't understand I was so I just called him and
00:11:38
he picked up he's like hey what's going on and I was like how are you you know I was just sitting
00:11:42
there watching what were you watching Columbo oh so I basically just called to say to so he could
00:11:48
hear it in my voice of like that live show was amazing you guys did such a great job and he was
00:11:53
like oh my god thank you like we had a great conversation where I was like oh it so much better to hear that it voice to voice I gonna to do it I mean like I think it just perks people up a little bit and it grounds you because it about connection
00:12:05
It's about connection and staying in the moment because we all are worried about the future.
00:12:09
And then you do future thinking and you're in a different place that you can't do anything about.
00:12:13
Definitely. You can't do anything about it. So stay in the moment and stay in the realness of this OK moment.
00:12:19
Can I also say your therapist will do phone appointments for the time being? Mine already switched over.
00:12:25
Totally. Don't skip your therapy appointments. True. It's so important. Yeah, because you need connection with people that know how to help you feel good, especially if you are in any kind of a danger zone.
00:12:36
Definitely. Speaking of podcasts, I just finished this season of this podcast that I found.
00:12:44
I almost cried at the end. It's so good. And that's a big deal for Georgia, whereas for me, it's not a big deal at all.
00:12:49
And I say almost because most people would have cried, but I don't have the facilities.
00:12:53
You do. You'll get there. I might one day. We're pulling you out. That's going to be the big finale.
00:13:00
So they cry at the very end of the day you cry. We end this. It's over. It's over.
00:13:05
Shit. So I'll stay on my medication. The podcast itself is called Uncover and it's by CBC Canadian Broadcasting.
00:13:13
And they do missing and murdered about the indigenous, you know, women who go missing and murdered.
00:13:20
So it's called Uncover. But so season six of Uncover is the satanic panic. And specifically the town in Canada called Martinsville, where, you know, the classic satanic panic of children getting molested by satanic cults.
00:13:40
Right. Which, of course, isn't true and was this hysteria and hype. And they do such a good job of explaining what happened all over North America, really.
00:13:49
Yes. So I highly recommend season six of Uncover and all of the other seasons, too, because I feel like they've done a bunch of amazing seasons like their their reporting and their journalism is so top notch.
00:14:05
Well, Uncover also has, they also do like the J, hold on a second. I think they did that, the killer, that serial killer that was like running rampant in the gay, Toronto's gay neighborhood for so long, which was amazing.
00:14:18
I mean, all of theirs, all their coverage is just really well done. Yeah, I highly recommend it.
00:14:22
But I mean, if you are curious about what we're talking about when we talk about Satanic Panic, this is the perfect explanation.
00:14:28
And it's infuriating. Don't you think it's weird that it happened in Canada in Martinsville and in California it was the McMartin family?
00:14:37
That's weird. Marty! Marty, what are you doing? Stop it! Marty, wait, can I just tell a sidebar Marty anecdote?
00:14:44
Oh dear. I don't think we've talked about this, but in case you're new, Marty's my dad.
00:14:47
Marty's George's dad. Marty's very active on social media, like his daughter. He cares a lot about social media.
00:14:53
He's really in it. But there was a picture that someone there was a gift someone tweeted from Schmoo's amazing Karen Kogare gifts.
00:15:03
Yeah. Where she makes gifts and then everyone's well have to text her and be like, can you take that one down?
00:15:07
It's really horrifying. I can't deal with it. But there was one from Talk Show, the game show.
00:15:13
And Marty responded to the gift going, Red's your color, girl. And he thinks he's talking to me.
00:15:18
And someone took a picture of it and sent it to me. Was that you, Stephen, or someone on Twitter?
00:15:23
it was so hilarious like it was such a dad move i you know what happened so you know how i said
00:15:28
that my fucking array a couple weeks ago was that he was like um embrace the pan embrace the schedule
00:15:33
your busy schedule as you would a blessing blessing yeah and so i went to post on instagram
00:15:40
stories the the screen grab of that conversation and put it up before i realized that the response
00:15:46
that he put after that his next his next uh what's it called text next text said oh i got you some
00:15:53
more brand muffins which is the daddest thing i didn't even realize that i had put that up also
00:16:00
make sure you renew your insurance yeah you're having a bm every day adjust that thermostat
00:16:05
okay dad thank you and then okay i've heard just rambling i mean i was on the phone with him the
00:16:11
other day i fucking love i hope you know we're not making fun of you dad i swear because we
00:16:15
celebrate it it's your you're doing your dad job really well i had pointed out some like
00:16:20
way to get into my, I'm totally paranoid of someone breaking into my house. Just, you know,
00:16:25
that's how I am. Yeah. As we all are. Right. And that's why we're here. I think I'm a little extra,
00:16:30
but sure. But I pointed it out to my dad, who's also a little extra. And then he has it on the
00:16:34
other day. Um, you know, I was thinking if you want me to come over and, and try to break into
00:16:38
your house and we can see the entry points that we need to worry about. And I just see him like
00:16:42
MacGyvering my fucking wind. And I was like, yeah, I kind of want that. And he was like,
00:16:48
what are you Georgia what are you fucking hardstarks I like the picture that he's wearing
00:16:54
kind of like a black and white striped shirt like a pink pink panther robber and a little
00:16:59
mask just over his eyes he's rolling in his own cigarettes for some reason that's incredible yeah
00:17:05
I oh so if we were just gonna touch on dad areas because who fucking gives a shit at this point
00:17:11
let's touch dad areas what what is this podcast the mini-sode is going to be something different
00:17:17
from now on everybody the whole show is going to be different for a little while we're going to
00:17:21
make some adjustments to the world we live in yeah um and tell you random stupid dad stories
00:17:26
uh so in the middle of the night last night i woke up on the couch watching colombo uh wait
00:17:33
did we talk about colombo yet we mentioned colombo and it's just it's it's the best just
00:17:37
highly recommend one last thing uh one and also the structure of it as a procedural is hilarious
00:17:42
because you watch the murder at the beginning you see exactly who did it and then the rest of the
00:17:47
show is just you waiting for Columbo to like lasso these people. Act like he's bumbling fool with one glass eye.
00:17:55
Yes with his one glass eye And it kind of he very innocent the whole time And then it all about hubris It about hubris and the pride coming before the fall and you love it
00:18:05
And it's satisfying every time. If he's asking to borrow someone because he forgot his pen after he pats down his coat, it's because he's going to use it as evidence later.
00:18:12
Your fingerprint is on it. And also there are actors that are humongous. Like, well, anyway, to me, I'm sure that the 20s won't know that you 20s people.
00:18:22
But and I mean people from the Roaring Twenties. Sorry. Hello, my baby. You won't get this, Robert.
00:18:29
But like the one I was I fell asleep to starred Roddy McDowell. Oh, wow. As the murderer.
00:18:34
And he's the best, most perfect murderer. Him and Columbo going head to head. Anyway, I fell asleep on the couch.
00:18:40
Yeah. Watching that, of course, because that's what it's built to do. We watch it after we watch like pay-per-view wrestling shows.
00:18:46
Yeah. It's just the pace. you will watch someone walk around their house doing things
00:18:54
it's dead air for three minutes but the set design and the fucking costumes are worth it enough
00:19:00
because it's the early 70s it's like being an archaeologist where you're digging down to the early 70s
00:19:08
before there was branding of anything before there were primary colors everything was green
00:19:14
moss green and brown and these houses they shoot in and the art on the walls. And the actors themselves, where it's like, you would never these days with those teeth
00:19:23
be a fucking star. No, no. Columbo on your glass eye. I love it. Everyone is over 60.
00:19:29
Yeah. Everyone, except for like, Suzanne Pluchette was the hot youngster at age 42.
00:19:34
I mean, like, I was watching this just going, this is unbelievable. I fall asleep watching it.
00:19:39
I wake up. There's a searchlight coming through my front window. Oh, shit. My first thought is, I'm in trouble for watching Columbo until I fall asleep.
00:19:47
Like someone was mad I was asleep on the couch, which is basically my childhood.
00:19:52
It's my sister because my sister gets grossed out because I fall asleep on the couch all the time.
00:19:56
She's like, ew, stop it. Go to bed. She hates it. Old trauma. Yes, always. Unmet needs from the past.
00:20:04
Anyhow, I look out the front window, fire trucks lining my street. The house three doors down is fully ablaze.
00:20:10
Oh, my God. Fully ablaze? Fully. I have. I'll show you pictures. What the fuck? Insane.
00:20:16
I can see the flames above my neighbor's house because it's kind of going uphill, whatever.
00:20:21
It was fully engulfed. There were 10 fire trucks on my street. There was an ambulance parked in my driveway.
00:20:27
You're like, get out of my driveway. They commandeered my fucking driveway, which was very exciting.
00:20:32
And all the neighbors stood at four in the morning in the pouring rain and watched this house burn down.
00:20:37
It burned down? I mean, it was gutted. I finally had to go back in because I turned to my neighbor
00:20:42
who's the most wonderful woman, my actual immediate neighbor. You're the only person in the world who knows their neighbors.
00:20:48
Well, she, right? Because it's so not LA. But she came over on day two and was like,
00:20:53
I made you granola. She is the loveliest lady. And we, as I walked up the street going,
00:20:58
is this really happening? Because it's like such a, yeah, yeah. It's surreal. I thought I knew what
00:21:02
bad thing was happening. And it's like a left turn of other bad things happening. We have pouring
00:21:06
rain and we have the fucking global pandemic. Yes. That's it. That's, I thought that was fine.
00:21:11
I drove over Laurel Canyon yesterday and I was like, why did I do this? There's going to be a mudslide on this because the way it was raining and everything.
00:21:19
And I'm like, what? For convenience. I basically took my life in my hands. So I thought I knew what the bad things were.
00:21:24
And all of a sudden it's like this person's house burned down. Do you know why? No.
00:21:29
Guys, clean your dryer lint. Yeah. It's been a while since we've said that. Since Captain Jim Kilgareff's warning, always clean that.
00:21:38
Every cycle. The lint trap. Every cycle. Clean it out. Clean it out every time. But anyway, it was just a very grounding, immediate.
00:21:47
We don't know what's going to happen in three months. You could spend your time freaking out about that.
00:21:51
But there's also plenty of things to freak out about in the right now. And so if your house isn't burning down, if all your shit is in line and you're OK, let's appreciate that right now.
00:21:59
Because that's a real thing. We need to stay grateful and not just like, I know this thing is going to happen and I'm going to be upset right this second.
00:22:07
And if you're in that lovely world, then know that there are other people who need your help.
00:22:13
So let's find out who they are and help them. Maybe we can. I don't know. And sometimes it's just you might have friends that are more anxious than you who do need a little more community and a little more connection to go.
00:22:24
Yeah, we're all scared. It's right. You're right to be scared. You're not freaking out.
00:22:28
This is you're not overreacting. This is a very strange and scary situation. You're OK.
00:22:34
I just think of the single mothers who, like, can't take off work. They can't take off work to stay home with their kids who don't have school.
00:22:42
Oh, it's just, yeah. This is going to make a lot of latchkey kids, I feel like. Yes, that's true.
00:22:46
But I think it's also going to make a lot, like, build community. Because I think it's what people like and want anyway.
00:22:52
Well, there's two ways, you know, there's two ways these global pandemics can go.
00:22:55
And I read all the post-apocalyptic books about it. It's like, it can go really fucking chaotic and bad and fucking riot gear and insanity.
00:23:05
Or we can help each other. Or it could be both and just make sure you're one of the people helping.
00:23:09
Yeah. Instead of one of the right people wearing right. Yeah, exactly. Try to leave your right gear at home if you can.
00:23:15
And also just know that there are people like things set up where, you know, people are talking about the kids that won't eat if they don't eat at school, which is definitely one of them.
00:23:24
Yeah. There's there's ways people are adapting and there's I think it makes people feel better to be able to help.
00:23:32
So know that that is a that is a resource for you. If you're feeling really bad, that you can go and just basically start looking into food banks, looking into places that are actively helping people and join them.
00:23:45
Especially if you're a healthy person. Yes. And do your friends who have immune compromised systems a favor and wash your fucking hands.
00:23:54
Right. Wash your hands and don't take planes. Don't go anywhere right now. Anywhere right now.
00:23:58
Just don't. It's not. Yes. Flights are cheap because you should not be traveling.
00:24:02
And this is a message to Vince Averill. We'll watch it at home. We'll get a bunch of snacks.
00:24:09
We'll drink some beer. And we'll watch WrestleMania as a family. What's this? Oh, you're being.
00:24:14
There's a man at the door. You're being served with divorce papers. Simply for saying that on this point.
00:24:19
Sorry, sorry. Okay, but a listener named Marcy sent me a text saying, I think she basically said she thinks we should know.
00:24:27
that the local Cincinnati Murderino group is offering up child care, extra toilet paper,
00:24:32
part-time jobs, and more to support each other during COVID-19. And then she wrote,
00:24:39
I'm fine, I'm fine. And it's, oh, did we get you? Is this the last episode? Georgia's crying.
00:24:44
Georgia's crying. I feel weird. It tickles a little? Yeah. Is that, I'm crying a little bit?
00:24:49
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's going to be a feeling kind of in your sternum.
00:24:53
And I'm like, I'm going to punch right now. So I'm like, get away from me. You don't.
00:24:56
Yeah, maybe there's, how dare you. There's tightness in your either throat or maybe in your belly.
00:25:00
It feels like allergies, but emotional allergies. Yeah. It's your eyes feel angry.
00:25:06
Yeah. And then there's water. Got it. There's kind of they fill with water. Don't get scared.
00:25:10
They're not drowning. That water is going to come out and you'll be it'll you'll be better for it.
00:25:15
Yeah. Look at she posted. It's the guy from the office crying. Oh, I mean, Steve.
00:25:20
I know it's Steve Carell. Mike, Mike. But that's beautiful. Yes. Cincinnati. Cincinnati.
00:25:26
And let's. Leadership in Cincinnati. Let's figure out a way to help everybody help each other.
00:25:32
The murderinos will do groups all around the world. We'll support it. Support each other.
00:25:36
Talk to each other. Communicate. And I mean, it's really beautiful. I was thinking like, how do we figure out ways to do this?
00:25:43
It's like, oh, we have like a built in group. And it's a group, the kind of people who already do it.
00:25:49
Right. That's the cool thing is they're just pivoting to what needs to be done right now.
00:25:54
Yeah, they're pivoting off. You guys are. I don't know where we're saying you. Yeah, I know.
00:25:57
We are absolutely folding ourselves in where we don't belong. But they're pivoting off of let's let's talk about don't fuck with cats.
00:26:06
And they're pivoting right over to who needs child care. That's right. And it is gorgeous.
00:26:10
Beautiful. That's what it's all about. We support it. Should we do some hometown?
00:26:13
We might as well. I feel like so we're going to I don't know what we're going to do.
00:26:16
We're going to put up live episodes that we have some left. I think we can also three of us, me and Karen, Stephen, have decided that we'll just keep
00:26:23
coming in and recording as long as we're all feeling good. yeah and that it seems like a safe smart thing to do yeah so that the we you know we might not do a
00:26:30
murder every episode every regular episode she's trying to get out of it we might not do any
00:26:35
homework this whole time we might think of it as you know it's just fun it's kind of a vacation
00:26:41
no i mean i have one ready for this week so i do too okay so we'll do it and then it's not and
00:26:45
if shit gets worse then we'll just come in and talk yes and tell you guys what shows we're
00:26:48
watching and how murderinas are helping and what podcasts we're listening to and where to get your
00:26:53
CBs so you can communicate. Black market Xanax. Yes, all of it. We'll start a black market.
00:26:59
That's right. That'd be kind of great. We'll trade drugs. We'll trade stories. You know, we should, you know, what we should also do is ask people to write in if they
00:27:08
have beautiful stories of humanity during this time. Like the Italian people singing, which I retweeted on Twitter, which really got me.
00:27:17
So people are going on their balconies and their high rise buildings. I mean it looks like
00:27:23
a scene from a movie about Italy and then it's just you can hear one man is singing and then everyone in the neighborhood
00:27:28
starts singing and we got her again. Nope. That's two in one. That was just a face that I know I'm supposed to make.
00:27:34
That's good acting. You know what I mean? You sociopath. This is a face I see you people making when you
00:27:42
do it. I didn't realize I just put it together. Oh shit. No you're not. Okay. You're fine.
00:27:49
I'm not. You're not. You want to go first? Sure. So, yeah, we can also read those instead of doing homework.
00:27:54
It'll be great. We can do all kinds of shit, guys. Yeah, send yours at MyFavoriteMurder at Gmail or on MyFavoriteMurder.com.
00:27:59
If the grid goes down, just send it through the U.S. Postal Service. That will probably be shut down, too.
00:28:03
That's right. Well, let's see, though, because they have to really stick in until the bitter end.
00:28:07
Yeah, male people are hearty. Yeah, and, you know, if it comes to the point where we can't actually post anything on the
00:28:16
internet right then we'll just start sending you handwritten letters right dear dear mckenzie
00:28:23
how's denver bro from the show last night to this drive why is it never chill because this is our life
00:28:35
backstage on the road it's loud messy real and that's the best part whole crew no plan just moving
00:28:43
Good thing Nissan builds for that kind of chaos. Not just test tracks, real life scenes, late nights, road trips, all of it.
00:28:51
That's why it holds up. Nissan was ranked number one in initial quality among mainstream brands by J.D. Power.
00:28:57

00:29:42
as I'm narrating some of these sections and it's like okay yo yo yo is this indulgent and I really thought about it was like no at this point it would kind

Pets age zero to 10. OK, this is this is a great one. and I remember it. Murder in the courtroom. Hi, guys. I come from a small town in northern
00:31:26
California. It's called Sonora and it is not Sonoma for anyone listening. I know it. I know
00:31:31
it because my mother has had relatives there and we went there for a wedding one time. It is so
00:31:37
eastern, slightly northern eastern California remote. It's so crazy. I'm so excited. But it's
00:31:44
beautiful. I loved it. It's like a hilly, it's like on a mountain. It's really cool.
00:31:51
Anyway, this town doesn't have a ton going on with a population of 10,000, though my mom
00:31:56
was a nurse and my dad a prison lieutenant, so I got plenty of exciting stories as a child
00:32:00
making me the fucked up human I am today. Yay, welcome. Hello, sister. I'm assuming
00:32:06
yeah, the name's Victoria, I'm assuming. My hometown murder is one I think about all the time, so let's get
00:32:12
into it. In 1988, a woman named Ellie Nessler sent her young son to a Christian camp where he
00:32:19
was allegedly molested by the camp counselor, Daniel Mark Driver. He was arrested and went on
00:32:26
trial on April 2nd, 1992. Ellie walked into the Tuomni, pronounced Tuomni. Oh, I did it.
00:32:33
Nice. County courthouse with a gun and shot him several times in the face and neck, killing him.
00:32:39
Wait, who shot him? The mother of the boy that was molested walked into the courtroom.
00:32:44
I completely remember this because I was a senior in high school. Holy shit. And murdered the man on trial before he was found guilty.
00:32:51
Ooh. Uh-huh. Obviously, this story was sensational and even spurred the making of a film titled Judgment Day, the Ellie Nessler story starring Christine Lahti.
00:33:01
Christine Lahti, a legendary actress of many, like, ABC Monday Night at the Movies.
00:33:07
Columbo caliber? She would have been too young for Columbo unless she was playing like a, you know, a cocious kid.
00:33:14
Yes. A young tennis phenom that witnessed something through a window. And we would watch her practice tennis for four full minutes before we went on to actually any exposition.
00:33:23
She'd come up to Columbo dabbing her forehead. Hey, mister, why are you wearing a raincoat?
00:33:28
It's sunny outside. Well, little girl. Oh, my God. We could. This also could turn into a Columbo reenact.
00:33:34
That's true. Why not? Why not? We introduced the children. and we remind the adults.
00:33:40
Okay. She ended up going on trial and pled not guilty by reason of insanity. She was eventually convicted
00:33:46
of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years in prison. She was then released
00:33:50
after three years when a judge overturned her conviction based on juror misconduct.
00:33:55
Sadly, she did end up back in prison on drug charges and was housed at a prison my dad actually worked at for a time.
00:34:01
She was released in 2002 and passed on in 2008. To think of what must have been going
00:34:07
through her mind that she would bring a gun to a courtroom and kill a man it's in between badass
00:34:13
and just plain a bad idea yeah i don't think it's in between i think it's like yeah there's a tiny
00:34:19
dollop of badass but mostly no yeah no that's straight up vigilant vigilantism and it's not
00:34:26
it's not okay we can't do it that way yeah even though how do you not as a mother you're psychotic
00:34:32
You are psychotic at that point. It's horrifying. So if you ever wonder why you have to walk through a metal detector when you go pay that parking ticket, she may be part of the reason why.
00:34:42
Thanks for everything. I'm currently in a binge to catch up on episodes I've missed out on and love laughing out loud when on walks with my dog.
00:34:49
I assume everyone in the park just thinks I'm nuts. Stay sexy and don't shoot. Victoria.
00:34:55
Wow. I don't I don't know that one. Yeah, it was. Yeah, because basically there it was like caught.
00:35:01
But, you know, I don't it wasn't I'm, of course, my yeah, my creative mind is now telling you, but I'm actually combining it with others, other stories.
00:35:12
I know that for a fact. But I mean, it was all in the news and there was just so many people that were like, because child molesters.
00:35:19
It's the same thing as a satanic panic. Yeah. Yes. You know, that's right. Once you get the idea that someone has harmed someone's child, everything goes out the window.
00:35:30
People still believe in this town that there are people who worship Satan killing children.
00:35:38
It's crazy. It is crazy. Well, and the irony, and it's the thing I talk about all the time.
00:35:43
This happened to this little boy at a Christian camp where you, I think the belief probably was like nothing can happen.
00:35:49
And it's all safe. It you know it that the places where pedophiles hide because people have blind faith Right And it awful Yeah And it it part of the kind of waking up of America When that thing happened it was just like oh my God Right
00:36:05
When the satanic panic, like, trials were going on to start to keep bringing it up.
00:36:08
Yeah. No, it's very relevant. It's relevant. OK, this is a hometown story. Hello, friends and pets.
00:36:14
Let's get into it. When I was a freshman in high school, I was in the choir when we heard the news that a
00:36:19
fellow student's body had been found on the side of the road. Now, I grew up in a very small town in South Carolina where things like this were unheard of.
00:36:27
The community was so shaken by the sudden, inexplicable news. My choir teacher, God bless her and all performing arts teachers because they're goddamn saints,
00:36:36
let us spend the rest of the day in her classroom to process the news. I did not know the victim, Asha Rucker, well, because I was a freshman and she was a senior,
00:36:45
but I was so confused and hurt by hearing this. Naturally, the town held a candlelight vigil the week of the funeral to honor Asha.
00:36:51
Students and community members gathered at a local park where people sang, told stories, etc.
00:36:57
When, all caps, out of nowhere, picture this, a friend of Asha's fucking yells, quote, her mom killed her because she was pregnant.
00:37:06
Many had noted that her mother wasn't at the vigil, but we all chopped it up to grief.
00:37:10
Now we all speculate that it was guilt instead. Months later, we found out the tire marks on Asha's body matched her mother's car.
00:37:18
Oh, my God. Soon after this discovery, her mother died of congestive heart failure.
00:37:22
Some still believe it was suicide. A cocktail of prescriptions were in her system or guilt or both.
00:37:28
We never gained closure, but we can all assume what happened. This incident sparked my passion for true crime and showed me that sometimes the ones meant to protect us can hurt us.
00:37:37
Sorry, this one is hella heavy and I have no funny quips to make it lighthearted.
00:37:41
Thank you for always keeping me entertained and telling these stories in hilariously relatable ways.
00:37:46
SSTGM, Mikkel. Yeah, there's no need for quips when in a story where a mother kills her daughter because she's pregnant.
00:37:53
That's the worst of the worst. Allegedly. Allegedly. Because we really don't even know.
00:37:57
You know, it's like just because the tires match doesn't mean. There's more than one set of those tires on the road.
00:38:03
Right. That doesn't mean anything. Yeah. Oh, God, that's horrifying. Awful. Also, just that if you had put that in a movie, it would be like, no, that's really don't.
00:38:13
That's not very realistic of like in at a vigil, someone just yelling. Her friend who's like probably frustrated and pissed off or something.
00:38:20
And so heartbroken. I mean, yeah. Horrifying. Jesus. This starts. Hi, murder friends.
00:38:27
All right. Hi. Let's just jump right into it. I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico, which, of course, has a well-known history of murder and meth usage.
00:38:36
Growing up there, you find you kind of just learn to accept that weird shit is going to happen.
00:38:41
This is like the opposite of no one ever expected in this town. Albuquerque, New Mexico.
00:38:45
Everyone expected it. Don't expect it. That's why they shot Breaking Bad here. So while I was in college, I had a job working in the local ER as a sort of glorified secretary.
00:38:55
My job was to go into a patient's room with the provider and take notes while the patient was being evaluated.
00:39:01
I got to be a fly on the wall during some pretty wild encounters. But my favorite was the time I unknowingly hung out with a murderer for an entire 10 hour shift.
00:39:09
It was a typical day, really. A typical day in Albuquerque. It was a typical day in Albuquerque.
00:39:16
There were skeletons falling from the sky, you know, and really good queso. We saw patient after patient, and I started to zone out.
00:39:25
And then we went into a man's room, and the first thing I noticed was his black eye.
00:39:30
Not that it was unusual, but it was something I remembered later. He was there with a certificate of evaluation to be seen by one of our mental health liaisons at the request of his mother.
00:39:41
My provider interviewed him, and he seemed pretty sound. He was answering questions normally and said his mother was just paranoid.
00:39:48
He was evaluated by mental health later and determined that he wasn't a harm to himself or others
00:39:53
and was approved for discharge once my provider was able to get a hold of his mother.
00:39:58
We called several times with no answer, so the guy just ended up camping out in the ER for my whole shift.
00:40:03
He was quiet and kept to himself, really. I got up to check on him and get him water a few times, and he was very polite.
00:40:10
Then I left my shift not thinking much about it. Ay, ay, ay. Right? The next day I turned on the news and the first thing I saw was that black guy plastered across my screen.
00:40:18
Oh, my God. The man had been picked up by police from the ER and taken in for questioning.
00:40:23
Turns out he had, this is all caps, choked and beaten his mother to death and stuffed her body into a cardboard box.
00:40:30
Her body had been left in their home the entire time. He had just been hanging out in the ER, acting like nothing was wrong.
00:40:36
working in the ER was definitely an eye-opening experience and the reason I would decided to never
00:40:42
ever work in the medical field again oh my god wow oh anyways stay sexy and always check your
00:40:49
cardboard boxes here's the link in case you really want to paint the picture no you did a great job
00:40:55
yeah I mean that was that was a good job there's no name signed to that but that I mean
00:40:59
unbelievable and also they kept saying the provider which makes me think it was the insurance
00:41:06
people that were deciding whether or not this person needed to be in the hospital, which
00:41:10
is the reason privatized health care is bad, because they don't want to spend the money
00:41:15
and they won't be putting people in. No. And it turns out it's not human decision anymore.
00:41:20
It's it's it's big business. Yeah, it's big business. And that was a person that should have been right.
00:41:25
Maybe even just for 48 hours held. Yeah. Just to see what was going on. Let's scream it from the rooftops.
00:41:31
It's not socialism. All right. Anyway. Anyhow, everybody. Okay, I'm not going to read you the title.
00:41:40
Okay. Hey, all. I finally thought of something that happened while I was in college in Boston.
00:41:44
I guess it took a long time to remember because there were so many other daily traumas to get through during those years.
00:41:51
So true. So I was on the crew team those boats with eight rowers and a tiny coxswain And she wrote out how to pronounce it Coxon Coxon I said it wrong Coxon It spelled Cox It is spelled Cox It is Coxon Yeah My freshman year
00:42:05
And we had a daily practice at 530 a.m. the whole year, staying on the water until Thanksgiving break when it was arguably too
00:42:13
cold to be wearing spandex shorts and getting splashed for two hours in 33 degree weather.
00:42:17
So true. It was a spring or fall of 2002, 2003. Honestly, I can't remember, but it was cold and dark.
00:42:22
and a professor who had gone missing months before was found in the river at night.
00:42:28
Walking to practice the next morning was somber as my teammates and I were all thinking about it.
00:42:32
Obviously the loss, but also that we row on that river every day. We were deep in our workout and up and down the river that morning.
00:42:39
It was choppy and we were getting especially drenched from backsplash in your face, eyes, mouth, lap, etc.
00:42:46
So we didn't notice any commotion near our boathouse until we were heading in. The men's team and head coach were clustered on the dock and there were flashing lights on the street above.
00:42:55
The men's team had, quote, bumped into another body. No. A man in the water that morning, making it two bodies in two days pulled from the river right by the university.
00:43:06
Holy shit. I would think that normally one can disassociate the water from the bodies in this case in cases like this.
00:43:12
But the fact that we were covered in dead body water that morning and then it was in my mouth and probably rode right past him has stuck with me to this day.
00:43:22
I feel bad for the guys in the boat that found him, even though they were largely assholes.
00:43:27
I still flinch when I get splashed when rowing, even on the cleanest of waterways.
00:43:31
I Google this again to share. I noticed two pages of links to crew teams finding bodies.
00:43:36
Oh, shit. It's always the crew teams. Oh. Stay sexy and don't traumatize rowers.
00:43:41
they've got enough shit to deal with Jen. But I don't know what happened. I don't know if they were like smiley face killer.
00:43:48
If the two went into the water together and they just were discovered separately.
00:43:52
What happened? Anything could have happened. Someone look it up. You know what's funny?
00:43:56
That makes me think of one of my favorite SNL sketches ever. And I can't remember.
00:44:01
I want to say it was Tom Hanks. God bless his soul. God bless it. God bless it. By the time this goes up on Monday, things could be different.
00:44:08
Really? So it's Friday right now. It's Friday right now. As far as we know, Rita and Tom Hanks were tested.
00:44:15
Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks tested positive for COVID-19. They're being treated in Australia.
00:44:21
They're very rich. They will probably have separate lung machines flown in for them.
00:44:28
I wouldn't worry about the two of them, but easy for me to say at this date. I don't think we have to worry about rich people that much.
00:44:36
The fact that they got tested that quickly is amazing. But anyway, it reminds me of a Saturday Night Live sketch where there's somebody had just died.
00:44:44
They're sitting next to their angel, basically, that's explaining you're dead. Now you're in heaven.
00:44:49
I'll answer any question you want me to answer. And the first thing the guy says is, what's the grossest thing I've ever eaten?
00:44:54
And the angel goes, you don't want to know that. And then he goes, no, no, no, I do.
00:44:58
And he goes, I'm telling you, listen to me. You don't want to know. And he goes, fine.
00:45:01
What's the 10th grossest thing I've ever eaten? The angel whispers in his ear and he turns around and barfs immediately.
00:45:06
And that's what that makes me think of is, oh, if you knew the disgusting things you'd been involved with, oh, when chances are if you're in a whole river.
00:45:15
Yeah. Yes. Yes. You can't not associate it. Yeah. But but the odds are very low that you really actually experienced any dead body water and don't even begin to think about the gross things like we don't know.
00:45:28
Just live in bliss. Just wash your hands, everyone, and gargle with hand sanitizer.
00:45:34
No, don't do that. Don't do that. No, no, no. But, no, they said regular mouthwash that has alcohol in it kills those germs.
00:45:42
So definitely after you brush your teeth, everybody gargle with, I would say Listerine.
00:45:47
That's the burniest one. I think the first thing to say is everybody brush your teeth.
00:45:51
Because we were just assuming at this point. That's true. Let's get real. Let's get real serious about our dental regime.
00:45:57
This is brought to you by, what's it called? Listerine. Okay, ready? Yeah. I'm not going to redo this.
00:46:05
I'll read you the subject after. Hi, friends. Period. I work as an occupational therapist at a large level level one trauma center about 45 minutes away from the very small rural town that I live in.
00:46:16
I get to see a lot of exciting cases in the hospital. Parentheses read gunshot wounds and stabbings.
00:46:22
But one day last year, my true crime obsession hit much, much closer to home. A family friend of ours will call her Rachel had recently gone through a divorce that had turned very ugly.
00:46:32
so ugly in fact that rachel had a restraining order against her ex who we will call john john
00:46:38
called and texted rachel all the time but she continued to ignore him while she was staying
00:46:43
with her mom and sister during this difficult time in her life no this might surprise you but
00:46:48
john was not taking that well insert eye roll here one night john sent rachel a string of text
00:46:54
messages saying that he really needed to talk to her about the kids and it was an emergency
00:46:58
against her better judgment Rachel told John that he could come by as long as he kept it quick
00:47:03
when John arrived Rachel walked out onto the porch of the house and closed the door behind her
00:47:08
Rachel's mother was inside the house when she heard four gunshots she ran out to the porch where she saw
00:47:14
Rachel covered in blood with multiple gunshot wounds a few feet away from her John lay dead with a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head
00:47:22
Rachel had been shot in the shoulder neck and eye I got the privilege of being the therapist
00:47:28
on the floor less than 48 hours later when Rachel stood up from her hospital bed and
00:47:33
took five steps by herself. That's right. She survived. My God. That incredible woman lost her left eye to her deranged ex-husband and lived to tell
00:47:43
the story. A year later, she is thriving and I dream of being as tough as she was that night and
00:47:48
every day since. I love a crazy survival story and I know Karen does too. And Georgia does too.
00:47:54
So I had to write in and share about the craziest thing that has ever happened in my town of Lesney.
00:48:00
thousand people stay sexy and always honor the terms of the restraining order cj she lived she
00:48:07
lived fucking amazing lived five days later she was karen's doing a lot of negative stories
00:48:12
yeah i'm sorry i'm ending on that one because it is the real deal yeah you don't know what
00:48:18
humans are capable of okay my last one says no but i did drown it's the name of it hi everyone
00:48:25
I just finished this week's minisode, which ended with Logan's three second drowning story.
00:48:30
And then it says, watch out for that kid. Remember Logan would push kids into the pool?
00:48:34
So hilarious. And immediately wanted to share the only interesting thing that's ever happened to me.
00:48:38
Not that I'm complaining. I don't want to relate too much to a true crime podcast.
00:48:42
True. Fair enough. When I was three years old growing up in Florida, I was in the backyard with my five-year-old
00:48:46
cousin playing, you guessed it, near our family's pool. The ball we were playing with fell into the pool and very unwisely, I reached for it.
00:48:54
I had started swimming lessons, but it was new. So unfortunately, when I slipped and fell in the water, I didn't know what to do.
00:49:01
The way the rest of the story goes, in my memory, is next I felt really heavy, then sleepy, and then I woke up in an ambulance.
00:49:10
Everyone else's memory of the story is very different. When I fell in, my cousin thankfully started screaming, and my mom and older brother heard him inside the house.
00:49:18
My brother was in the army at the time and immediately dove in to get me and started CPR while my mom called 911.
00:49:23
I'm not sure how long I was underwater before my brother grabbed me, but long enough that I wasn't responsive to his CPR.
00:49:30
The ambulance came and also tried to resuscitate me. Then they told my mom the worst thing a parent can hear.
00:49:36
I had died. Oh, shit. But then a whole three minutes later after being pronounced dead, I woke up.
00:49:43
Hey, hey, hi. Welcome back. The EMTs couldn't figure out why. And later at the hospital, doctors also just told my mom it was, quote, a miracle.
00:49:52
and that they couldn't peg what happened. Cool. The rest of that year was really hard on my mom She fell into a deep depression and told my family she couldn watch anyone kid anymore She no longer felt she was trustworthy She slept with me every night on the couch and
00:50:09
wouldn't let me out of her sight. She told me recently that she and my dad almost separated
00:50:13
at this time too because she was just so deep in her sadness. I just remember liking being with my
00:50:19
mom so much. Now that I'm an adult, I can't imagine what that day and year were like for my mom.
00:50:25
She's truly the best and it was probably the first time we had ever been by the pool without
00:50:29
supervision. I'm sure she didn't even know we were out there, but it only takes one time.
00:50:34
Yeah. Since then, my mom has yelled at many apparent, quote, all caps, watch your fucking children when she notices kids not being supervised well by water. Yeah.
00:50:43
A lot of people ask me if I saw heaven or deep things like that when they hear the story,
00:50:49
but I literally remember falling asleep and dreaming about Grover from Sesame Street.
00:50:53
So I don't know what that means. Stay sexy. Uh-oh, Karen's making the cry face that I
00:50:59
recognize. I know what that means. Stay sexy and for the love of God, put gates around your pools.
00:51:06
Katie. P.S. I've been listening to your podcast for over a year now and I don't think I've ever
00:51:10
once not called it how I met your murder. That's hilarious. Maybe there's still some water in my
00:51:17
brain. Thanks, Katie. Good job. Katie. We're crying over here. First hand survivor child
00:51:25
drowning story. Will you please hug your mom for us? Yes, for real. I mean, look, a year, it seems like
00:51:31
she rallied quickly. That is a horrible thing for a mom to live through. That's horrible.
00:51:37
Awful. And so scary. And just so Katie knows, as a person who has owned a house with a pool, you fucking
00:51:43
legally have to put a gate around that pool. Well, in California or anywhere? I don't know.
00:51:47
I know in California for sure. I'm not sure what... You don't have a gate around your pool.
00:51:51
I'm calling. I'm calling. 911. one? No, no, no. The gates around my house are locked. No child could wander into my backyard.
00:51:58
I get it. Okay. So like if you're if if people are in your house, yes, you have to be on guard. But
00:52:03
it basically the law is set up so that like a neighbor could couldn get in Interesting I didn know that Sorry I called your shit out No it okay I mean I been through it
00:52:14
I don't think I would ever be calm if I had a kid in a pool. You got to teach them how to swim as soon as possible.
00:52:20
Yeah. As soon as possible. And even then, it's like they could hit their head or something.
00:52:24
I mean, yeah, anything can happen. Anything. It's like that one oak tree that has a big acorn and it comes straight down.
00:52:31
Wait. Oh, okay. I was like picturing a kid jumping in after the acorn. No, no, no.
00:52:36
I get it. What you're saying? It's like the acorns drowning. I'm actually making up horrible ways people could drown that you wouldn't expect.
00:52:43
And I don't know why I would do that to anybody. I just thought of it. Because it's a new world.
00:52:47
We're in a global pandemic. Guys, it's a new My Favorite Murder. Listen, we don't.
00:52:51
It's wintertime. Nobody be near any pool. Let's take this off the worry list. No one cares about pools right now.
00:52:58
Get away from the pool, please. Oh, please. Concrete your pool. This is the plus side of it.
00:53:03
There is a, if we have to get quarantined, we're going to be all up inside. We only have to worry about lighting that dryer on fire, a grease fire.
00:53:11
Don't put it out with water. Fighting over WrestleMania. Fighting over WrestleMania, which is you please keep all knives in a locked drawer for a childproof area.

In the pool. Or in the pool. It's childproof. Throw your knives into the pool. Only if it's childproof.
