00:02:48
the story i love you guys but i'll save the pandering for the end and get right into it
00:02:52
My parents were both thriving young adults in the 70s and 80s, a.k.a. prime serial killer time.
00:02:58
One night after dinner, I decided to ask them if they had any crazy stories to tell me.
00:03:02
But really, I wasn't expecting much. But then my dad said, oh, yeah, I parked the Gallegos' van.
00:03:08
From 1978 to 1980, Gerald and Charlene Gallego terrorized Sacramento, kidnapping young girls and young women, holding them hostage before killing and disposing their bodies, disposing of their bodies.
00:03:20
All of the victims had been raped and beaten before they were murdered, and out of the ten victims, nine bodies were found, including 21-year-old Linda Aguilar, who was four months pregnant.
00:03:31
The two were arrested in late 1980, early 1981, and in 1983, Gerald was sentenced to death.
00:03:42
However, that was overturned, and he died in prison in 2002. Charlene received 16 years and eight months after promising to fully cooperate and confess everything.
00:03:51
She was released in 1997. No, no deals for killers, please. She was released. I know.
00:03:56
As a team, serial killer team. Yeah. You know what? That's fine. Go rent an apartment somewhere and get a job at the drugstore.
00:04:04
You know what? You're going to have less years than some of your victims had on earth in jail for your crimes.
00:04:10
Good point. Fuck you. During their spree, my dad was working as a parking attendant at Harrow's Casino in Lake Tahoe.
00:04:18
Oh, my God. God, I love it. That casino is legendary. Every couple of months, Gerald and Charlene would drive up to the valet in a large beat-up van, of course.
00:04:27
My dad said that whenever they pulled up, he and his coworkers would argue over who had to go park it and get the car because of the terrible smell inside.
00:04:36
I don't even want to imagine what he was surrounded by every time he got into that van.
00:04:41
That's like making my skin crawl. I expected that to be the end of it. I had never heard of the Galegos before, so I was ready to go up to my room and do all the research to craft this hometown.
00:04:52
Then my mom turned to him and said, who is that old woman that came into the hotel in Sacramento, the one with all the bodies in her backyard?
00:04:59
And I immediately stood up and screamed, you serve drinks to Dorothea Puente. This is like my hometown.
00:05:06
Yeah. After the casino, my dad worked as a bartender at the Holiday Inn in Sacramento.
00:05:11
I guess Dorothea thought he mixed a good drink because my dad remembers her coming in a lot.
00:05:16
And every time she did, my dad would tell her, could tell there was something off about her.
00:05:20
She creeped him out beyond belief. Oh, my God. A little old lady. Yeah, creepy. Especially the fact that she tipped in jewelry instead of cash.
00:05:29
That's pretty baller. Each time she came in, she'd have a brand new ring or necklace to give out.
00:05:34
Oh, wait, no. Yeah. See what that means? I see. My dad would always turn them down, but one of the waitresses he worked with had developed a collection of all the pieces that Dorothea would give her.
00:05:44
Holy shit. What? Thank God dad never took them because after her arrest, the police came in and interviewed everyone.
00:05:50
When the waitress mentioned the jewelry the police immediately had her turn everything over informing her that they had most definitely belonged to the victims that had been found in her backyard Oh it so creepy She like you can have this whole jewelry box and my dresser
00:06:06
Right. Here's my D. And my earlobes. Love the podcast and thank you for making my college experience a little bit easier.
00:06:13
Stay sexy and don't get in a van that smells weird or accept jewelry from creepy old ladies.
00:06:18
Jess. Nice one, Jess. Oh, that was a twofer. Right. That was a Sacramento Powerhouse
00:06:26
It's weird that we've never done the Galleguses Yeah, I've never heard of it That was an early one for me
00:06:32
I was like 12 when that happened Wow, you gotta do it But I don't know why Maybe that one was kept from me somehow
00:06:38
Yeah, I've never heard of that one Go ahead and make a note of that Go ahead and just write this down
00:06:44
I'm not going to read you the title There is a suicide trigger warning on this Good idea
00:06:50
Thank you Okay. Hello to everyone and their pets. Great. One of my favorite things to do with my kids is going on little adventures.
00:06:58
This could range from playing You Want to Get Lost, where I let my kids pick and choose where we're going by having them give me directions while I'm driving.
00:07:06
Turn left here. That's adorable. Okay, hold on. Okay. That's fucking high-grade parenting right there.
00:07:14
How fun would it feel to control where the car went as a child? I want to go left here.
00:07:19
And also you're learning left from right. Let's go. Let's get lost. Let's get lost.
00:07:25
And that reminds me of just being my parents being single parents and having no money and
00:07:29
just making up shit for us to do. Let's go hit golf balls at the high school football field.
00:07:33
Like we used to do that. I'm like, that sounds so good. So free. Or by simply following things in the sky.
00:07:42
So you think you're going to pick stuff or they just follow things in the sky. Follow that helicopter.
00:07:47
Well, holy shit. Psychic. We play these games often and sometimes we find some really cool places that we never would have known about otherwise.
00:07:56
One day last spring, my kids and I were at the local ice cream parlor eating our treats outside.
00:08:01
After about 10 minutes or so, my little kid says, do you hear that? I took a second to listen and it turns out we could hear but not see a helicopter.
00:08:10
Nonplussed, we finished eating and took back off into the car and drove home. About an hour after coming home, the kids and I were talking on the porch when we could see the helicopter.
00:08:21
This is a really bizarre thing to see out here as we are too far from any airport or military base to have a chopper flying for such a long time.
00:08:30
And it seemed to be a news one to boot. So being that mom, I asked, you want to go on an adventure?
00:08:37
My kids squealed yes. And we piled into the car and followed the damn thing. the helicopter took us to the lake that is five minutes from the house where they were where there
00:08:45
were more choppers flying around getting out of the car we watched as they circled when one of the
00:08:50
city officials that i know sauntered up to us regret each other as my kids watched watched
00:08:55
fascinated like i said we don't get to see that much around here and my friend bent low and
00:08:59
whispered in my ear you might want to get them out of here soon they'll be taking the body out
00:09:03
in a few minutes chills ran down my spine and i turned to look at him and said what the fuck
00:09:08
It turns out that one of the local men that had a history of mental illness had rowed himself out into the lake, tied a cinder block to his feet, and then thrown himself over the side of the boat.
00:09:19
What my children and I were now witnessing was the body recovery. Oh, no. Needless to say, I thanked him for the information and later the fuck out of there with my kids.
00:09:28
I still go on adventures with my kids. I just make sure that I don't follow any sort of news helicopters anymore.
00:09:32
Good plan. Actually, perfect plan. Or ambulances. Right. Right. Yeah. Stay sexy and try not to expose your kids to dead bodies, Natasha.
00:09:39
Good plan. I mean, there's a fine line between adventure and trauma. Yeah. And so, yes, it's good to really pay attention to that.
00:09:49
Right. News helicopter circling, it's never for a parade. It's no, rarely. Very rarely.
00:09:56
They usually get that footage on the ground. That's right. When you're going overhead for the footage, it's a seven-car crash, usually.
00:10:03
That's right. Take it from us. We live in Los Angeles. Okay. The subject of this is visit another country, briefly become a suspect in a grisly murder suicide. Suicide warning. Yeah, that's a very good idea. Have we ever even thought of that before? Okay. Hey, ladies, my hometown murder is from Lake Orion, Michigan. And it's pretty crazy for me to recount because I had to get these details straight from the person who found the bodies.
00:10:28
I am a counselor and occasionally contract out to a foreign exchange company to talk with students who are having trouble with their stay in America.
00:10:37
So in April of 2016, I get a call seeing if I can meet with a high school student from Japan.
00:10:42
Sure, of course. Then the contractor tells me it's to evaluate the young lady's state of mind since her host parents were found dead earlier in the week.
00:10:51
I'm sorry. What? Holy shit. The story, as this sweet young girl recounted to me later, was that her host parents were a pretty normal couple that they argued a bit, but nothing out of the ordinary.
00:11:02
She told me that the day of the murder, she'd come home, had dinner with the host mom and dad, and then gone up to her room to do homework and listen to music.
00:11:10
In the course of the night, she heard some loud noises and thumping, but with her headphones in, she didn't pay too much attention to it.
00:11:16
The next morning, she woke up, called goodbye to her host mom, and caught a ride to school.
00:11:21
She got a ride back home from school, called hello to her host mom, and went back up to her bedroom.
00:11:26
Oh, my God. Shortly after arriving home, there's a knock on the door. She ignores it, thinking her host parents will answer the door.
00:11:32
But the knocking persists and nobody answers. So she finally goes down to get the door, and it's the police asking to talk to her host parents.
00:11:40
Are they home? The girl says, I think so, but I haven't seen or heard them. Let me go check.
00:11:45
The police officer, bless his instincts, tells the young girl, do you mind if I check?
00:11:49
Oh, amazing. He comes upon the bodies of the host mom and dad shot to death in the living room The girl was showing the officer through the house and thankfully he stopped her from seeing much of the scene Thank God Yeah The reasons were unclear but the husband shot the
00:12:05
wife multiple times while she sat in a recliner, then sat down and shot himself in the head
00:12:09
while the exchange student was doing homework upstairs. Holy shit. Turns out the mom was a
00:12:15
postal worker with a stellar attendance record. And when she no call, no showed the next day at
00:12:20
the post office, her coworkers were convinced something bad had happened and called the police.
00:12:25
If that hadn't happened, that poor girl would have eventually stumbled upon the grisly scene of her host parents' bodies.
00:12:31
Oh, and she was briefly a suspect, but was quickly cleared based on the evidence.
00:12:36
Jesus. That's so intense. Poor girl. I always thought about the parents back home in Japan and how they must have reacted to their daughter's wonderful exchange experience of murder in America.
00:12:48
Stay sexy and don't almost get murdered overseas. Ryan in Michigan. that's so sad that she was there having had dinner with them that night yes and also she's in a she's
00:12:58
a teenager in a foreign country yeah but they i mean they handled that really well i feel like
00:13:05
immediately getting a counselor and like immediately but oh my god what a whole that's
00:13:10
heartbreaking it's horrible wow that that was a serious one um here's a kind of funny one okay
00:13:16
It's about drugs. So that's fun. About drugs. Oh, I thought you said threads. What?
00:13:23
I'm like, what, 70s clothes? Why are you talking like that? The opening of this is, sup, fuckers.
00:13:28
And then it says, my favorite gender neutral greeting. Amen. Hey, way to go. When I was a freshman in high school, I signed up for driver's ed, as many 15-year-olds do.
00:13:39
It was pretty basic. I had to waste the last week of my summer in a hot room with kids I fucking hated while
00:13:43
they showed us crash videos and told us not to text and drive. Yeah. Yeah. Then we spent the next few weeks driving around with instructors to get our hours.
00:13:51
The instructors had very nice cars, chargers, Mustangs, etc. That we would drive around in, which we thought was cool.
00:13:58
My instructor, who referred to himself as Road Ready Ron, the driving school was called Road Ready.
00:14:03
How clever. Look like your average hometown creep. 5'8", 70s porn stash, rounded glasses with a red polo tucked into his jeans.
00:14:12
This is dead on. His favorite thing to do was spout off inspirational quotes that made no sense in context.
00:14:19
Like, you don't have to be the best. You just have to try. Like, what? I went through the course, graduated, got my license, all that good stuff.
00:14:27
Then a few years later, when my mom was looking to register my younger brother for driving school, she Googled Road Ready.
00:14:32
My mom, despite being the biggest murderino I know and getting me into true crime, avoids the news.
00:14:37
So it came as a surprise to her when her Google search yielded several articles that Road Ready Ron was selling cocaine out of a student driver's cars.
00:14:48
Yes. What? As a side business, hence the nice cars. He was truly Road Ready. He really was.
00:14:56
Needless to say, my brother had to attend a different driving school as Road Ready Ron's operation was shut down.
00:15:02
But honestly, how smart of him, right? Who would suspect a student driver's car to have cocaine in it?
00:15:08
For real. It's totally ridiculous, but kind of ingenious. Anyway, thank you for all you do.
00:15:13
It means a lot to us murderinos everywhere that we have a place to feel understood in
00:15:16
our weird obsession and inappropriately timed humor as a coping mechanism. Stay sexy and don't drive around with cocaine in your student driver car, Catherine.
00:15:25
I wonder if you got like extra time for endangering children or something. Yeah, that's interesting.
00:15:30
Or was it just like in those weird drug suitcases in the back of the car? And it was like he did that at night.
00:15:38
Exactly. And then taught the children during the day. You got to teach the children.
00:15:42
You don't have to be the best. You just have to sell cocaine. Let's put that on some little embroidery hoops or what have you.
00:15:51
While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent.
00:15:57
The future soccer stars who are already turning heads at age 14. Making plays that end up on everyone's feed, scoring from angles that don't make sense, rewriting record books that barely had time to gather dust.
00:16:08
Because Next doesn't wait for an invitation, and Hyundai doesn't either. Hyundai has always moved the future within reach.
00:16:13
Hyundai did it by making advanced safety standard on every vehicle. Hyundai did it by engineering EVs with ultra-fast charging capability.
00:16:21
And Hyundai continues doing it every day. From robotics that change how people live to young athletes changing the game, the future isn't some far-off concept.
00:16:29
It's already here. Next starts now. Hyundai, an official partner of FIFA. Goodbye.

00:18:48
Okay. There was a way I could do it where I'd like leave some words out and then I'm like, no, I'll just leave it out.
00:18:53
Okay. Just starts. Hello, gang. Great. Scooby-Doo. A few weeks ago, we had some friends over for dinner and games.
00:19:02
Our friend is a state trooper. So naturally, the murderino in me could not stay chill.
00:19:07
I would so not be able to be there. No, me either. And went right in first. So what's the most scared you've ever been on the job?
00:19:12
Perfect question. That's a great question. Perfect. He took a deep breath and said, well, this one time I was responding to a call about a noise complaint in the deep woods.
00:19:22
evidently the area he was going to is known for having people perform satanic rituals and
00:19:28
earmuffs Elvis, cat sacrificing and it's been a big problem for years that's a huge problem
00:19:35
yeah it's not okay so they're not earmuffs Elvis they're not sure exactly who's behind it but the local
00:19:44
police, dogs, it's dogs it's those dogs that play poker they're too smart and they're too rich
00:19:51
so they're not exactly sure who's behind it but local police will get a call every so often
00:19:56
about this satanic cult he said it was pitch black out and the only way to access the area was to go down
00:20:02
this makeshift dirt road that had zero lighting and was bumpy AF and as he chugged along
00:20:09
riding solo in his cruiser he informed us that troopers drive solo to most calls
00:20:13
he started to see the blaze of a really large bonfire and about a dozen or so parked cars
00:20:20
Later days. Bye. I quit. As he approached, he saw figures standing by the fire with what he described as having animal shaped heads, wearing long capes and carrying large weapons.
00:20:34
OK, no. Right. Yeah. He's just like reaching over for a partner. Where did I put my partner?
00:20:43
He's shown his flashlight on them and told them to drop their weapons. Very brave.
00:20:47
They continued walking eerily slow towards him, capes blowing in the breeze. He yelled again, drop your weapons.
00:20:55
Slowly, one by one, they started throwing their weapons down and their hands went up.
00:20:59
As he passed the flashlight over each person, he noticed most were in medieval style clothing
00:21:05
and their weapons also looked like they were from that same time period, but looked off.
00:21:11
Time travelers. The time travelers. Oh, no. Cats can't survive time travel. That's why they're...
00:21:17
They weren't sacrificed. They actually just didn't make it through the machine. Right.
00:21:21
Oh, no. Oh, fuzzy. That sucks. One of the men started apologizing emphatically. He explained that they were just a group of LARPers.
00:21:32
Oh! Live-action roleplayers who were meeting up for a game. In case you don't know, live-action roleplay is a role-playing game where the participants
00:21:41
portray their fictional characters represented in the real world by interacting with each
00:21:45
other. There are a whole set of rules and a point system. Think costumes, homemade weaponry, constructed from duct tape, face paint.
00:21:53
You get it. Once my friend realized that he was not dealing with an animal sacrificing cult, but rather a bunch of adult nerds.
00:22:00
He said he felt a sense of relief. Yeah. You join. He doesn't know the danger of nerds.
00:22:06
They're smarter than everybody. That's right. He said the LARPers were incredibly cooperative.
00:22:11
Of course they were. They don't want shit from you. They're law-abiding. they're not like fuck the police
00:22:16
and they even showed off some of their homemade weapons and explained the point system
00:22:20
to him oh my god the kicker to all of this was that the woman who called in the complaint
00:22:26
was aware that this wasn't the satanic cult but was really sick of the noise so she embellished a bit
00:22:33
to get the cops to go out there sooner what a dick what a total dick what if they had shot one of the people that had a fucking
00:22:38
weapon well too bad because it was interrupting blue bloods for her So, yeah, shoot them all.
00:22:44
It's on you, lady. Lady, stay sexy and drop your padded sword. Jay. Oh, LARPing.
00:22:53
LARPers. You've got to try it. I'll be you and you'll be me. We'll talk to each other.
00:22:57
And then we'll just have big swords. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I really love this one. Okay.
00:23:00
This is called Ouija board story. Ask and you shall receive. Here's the, it just starts.
00:23:06
Here's the thing about Ouija boards. You never really know if the people playing it are telling the truth or just spinning
00:23:11
shit to make you scared. My mother hates scary things and is the most honest person I know.
00:23:17
So when she told me this story, and it was verified by my Catholic 90 year old grandmother,
00:23:21
I became a true believer. When my mother was a kid in the early 70s, she and her two sisters
00:23:26
had a cat named Smoochie. Smoochie. Wait, do you remember that Robin Williams, Edward Norton movie, Death to Smoochie? Yeah. From like the early 2000s. Yeah.
00:23:37
But not Death to Smoochie. Let's hear it. Well, they adored this cat. And when Smoochie
00:23:41
Mm-hmm. to who killed JFK, apparently. The Ouija board spelled out G-E-R-R-I, Jerry.
00:24:07
My mom, the eldest, thought that this was a strangely spelled version of the name Jerry.
00:24:13
They discussed this together, but none of them knew a person named Jerry with that spelling.
00:24:17
When my grandmother called them to help dry the dishes and put them away, they continued their conversation.
00:24:23
When my grandmother heard them mention the name Jerry, she dropped the pan she was holding on the floor.
00:24:27
She asked my mom with a horrified look on her face how they knew Jerry. My mom replied that the Ouija board told them the name, though she said she wasn't sure if it was Jerry with a J or Gary based on the spelling.
00:24:39
My grandmother started to cry. She told the girls that Smoochie hadn't run away after all.
00:24:45
My grandmother had apparently generated an allergy to cats, and she tried for months with allergy medication that made her feel terrible.
00:24:51
My grandfather found a friend of the friend that owned a farm that could take Smoochie off their hands and have a nice, happy life.
00:24:58
No You guessed it The woman name who owned the farm her name was Jerry spelled G Holy shit My grandma couldn break it to the girls and worried that they would blame her for having to get rid of Smoochie
00:25:11
So she and my grandpa decided to tell the kids that Smoochie had run away. I'm a total skeptic.
00:25:16
So my mom told me the story. I immediately needed to check with my aunts and grandma.
00:25:19
They all told the exact same story. Wow. Anyway, stay sexy and don't lie to your kids or the Ouija board will rat you out.
00:25:26
D. And then she said, P.S. Based on the porn star name game, first pet with first street address growing up, my mom
00:25:33
has the most epic porn star name ever, Smoochie Robinson. Yeah. I love it. Oh, wait.
00:25:42
Is that better than my porn name, though? What's yours again? Pepsi Night. I've never heard that.
00:25:49
What's mine? Whiskers Sage? Oh. Is that sexy? Yeah. But it's kind of new agey. Like I don't shave.
00:25:56
