Great. Great. Great. Just so people know what I was talking about. Thank you. Yeah.
00:03:28

00:03:37
So it was nice to start with telling me that. Thank you. That's right. Now you have to say something nice about me.
00:03:42
Good luck. Good luck. You look gorgeous. I did think when I walked in that you look pretty.
00:03:47
Your cheeks are really rosy. Your skin is glowy. It's because I haven't left the house in days.
00:03:52
So when I actually go out, I'm like, you guys, I'm out here. Your cells are like, what?
00:03:57

00:04:02
Welcome to my favorite murder. I ate Del Taco last night. Chili cheese fries. Anyways.
00:04:08
Oh, yeah. You already said it. But this is my favorite murder. the minisode that's karen kilgara that is georgia hardster hi hi so this is where we redo your
00:04:15
hometown murders that you send us the subject line of this email is my best friend's dad was
00:04:20
mary vincent's lawyer oh holy shit come on hello mfm boss ladies pod producing guru and plethora of
00:04:28
pets um over the long weekend my best friend came home to visit from new york we met up in orange
00:04:34
County. Hey, sorry. Beige apologies all around. And ended up having dinner with her parents at
00:04:42
one of our favorite spots. I've always known her dad was a badass lawyer, but I've never really
00:04:46
asked about his cases because I didn't want to sound too intrusive. While at dinner, he told us
00:04:51
that he recently had a meeting to talk about one of his most high profile cases,
00:04:55
a case where a young woman had her arms chopped off. I swear I must've looked like a crazy person
00:05:00
in this tiny restaurant when I squealed, oh my God, was it Mary Vincent? And indeed, it was.
00:05:06
I have chills right now. Her dad went on to tell me that he represented Mary pro bono throughout her case against her attacker
00:05:12
and even went with Mary in front of Congress advocating for the no second chances
00:05:18
for murderers, rapists, or child molesters act of 1998. Amazing. I've never heard of that.
00:05:24
I have fucking chills. I'm saying I've never heard of that. I'm like, did I say it in my story?
00:05:29
You might have. That's amazing. Okay. Yeah. Oh, when we returned to their home after dinner, he showed me photos of him and Mary speaking
00:05:36
before Congress. And he told me about how Mary used to babysit my best friend and how her sons and my best
00:05:42
friend love to play together as kids. Oh my God. I'm still blown away by the fact that I have such a close connection with someone who knows
00:05:48
Mary. It shows how small the world is, but it also put, puts things back into perspective that
00:05:53
these horrific things happen to real people And while it so depressing it so important to highlight these awful things so that we can try to prevent them from happening again in the future As a 25 year old Angelino I have to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for confirming my love for true crime
00:06:08
isn't weird. My neuroses are valid and the constant reminder to lock my doors. All the best, Taylor.
00:06:14
Taylor. Such a good email. That was amazing. Yeah, that's very cool. If you, Taylor, took a picture
00:06:22
of the picture of Mary Vincent. I bet Stephen could find one. I'd love to see a picture of Mary Vincent
00:06:27
testifying before Congress. I would too. That's, I just, the fact that she did that so bad
00:06:31
has to say something. It's so incredible. And what a great fucking law that should absolutely always be passed.
00:06:35
Yes. Fuck you. Murders, rapists, and chum molesters. Unless you're one of those three things.
00:06:42
Oh, no. It's a very special 100th episode. I'm here to tell you about my past. Okay.
00:06:50
This next one, The subject line is beach day with my dead dad. Oh, I saw that movie.
00:06:56
It was great. Legend. Okay. Hi, Karen, Georgia, Stephen, Elvis, Mimi, Dottie. Oh, the new cow.
00:07:02
I was like, fuck that. Karen, your face when you said Dottie. I knew you hadn't been paying attention when I talked about how cute she is.
00:07:09
Dottie. Dottie. Who the hell? Oh, Dottie. George and all the other precious animal friends everywhere.
00:07:15
Well, fuck Frank. He gets nothing. Okay. first of all I promise this isn't a week in a Bernie situation
00:07:21
secondly I love your podcast I cannot wait to see you guys in Madison in October hi can't wait I naturally started listening to you
00:07:30
the week after you were in Milwaukee y'all were amazing make my days at work go by so much faster thank you here's my ghost story
00:07:37
sorry to disappoint but it's not a scary one and no one was murdered my dad died when I was 16 years old we were incredibly close and I was a total
00:07:44
daddy's girl losing him was really hard that's such a young age to lose a parent.
00:07:48
I'm sorry. Every year on his birthday, I would try to do something nice to remember and celebrate him
00:07:53
by doing some of his favorite things. Drink martinis, watch old westerns, go outside,
00:07:58
eat apple pie. Go outside. See, I'm not like your dad. I don't go outside. Okay, so a few years ago,
00:08:06
I was feeling especially bummed on his birthday, just missing him a lot, so I decided to go out of town.
00:08:11
I was living in Green Bay at the time and I found myself in Manitoac. Is that how you pronounce it?
00:08:17
It's the one from Making a Murderer. I think you're right. Manitowoc. She in parentheses, yes, Making a Murderer, Manitowoc.
00:08:24
Okay. I was driving down some side road by the lake where I found the tiniest little beach,
00:08:30
completely separate from everything and everyone and everything. The beach was maybe 30 feet by 20 feet.
00:08:37
I'm not a geometrist. It was small. There were two chairs on the beach. so I decided to pull over and sit in one of the chairs and just watch the lake there were absolutely
00:08:47
there was absolutely no one around perfect because I really knew I needed to ugly cry
00:08:52
and I didn't want anyone to see when I sat down I immediately started crying but then I suddenly
00:08:58
felt fine felt totally fine I felt comforted and safe a complete 180 after an hour of watching the
00:09:04
waves I got up to leave the beach and on my way out I saw clear as day my name written in the sand
00:09:11
Kate. It was at least three feet tall. I know I would have seen this on my way in.
00:09:18
It took up most of the beach. Ooh, I just got chills. I got chills if I am my whole body.
00:09:24
Also, no one spells their name like me. Most people spell it with a K. She spells it with a C.
00:09:30
I knew my dad was with me, but this was just a slap in the face I needed to know. He hasn't totally left
00:09:36
me. Oh my god. Sometimes it's terrifying to know that we're not alone. But it's also good to know that the people we've loved
00:09:44
are also hanging around. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Goddamn you, Steven. She's saying that because
00:09:52
Steven picked it. This is not a random. You ladies keep it up. I have no cool witty closing. I'm sure it'll
00:09:57
come to me after I send this. Love, Kate. P.S. Karen, you're amazing on How Did This Get Made
00:10:01
in Georgia. Your drunk history gives me life. Okay, bye. Sorry. That got me good. Yeah.
00:10:07
That got me good. Seeing her name in the sand and then it's spelled differently and also she walked in that way unless somebody snuck up
00:10:15
and as a nice treat wrote her name in the sand it's just creepy well yeah then it goes the opposite
00:10:21
direction and someone followed her from fucking green bay and knew her name and knew her name
00:10:26
and knew the spelling that was magical there were two seats there yes and that she didn't
00:10:31
she went to like purge it but then it was like oh no that's not actually how i feel
00:10:36
and then chilled it out. Daddy. I mean, that was beautiful. Yay. As someone who likes their dad, that got me.
00:10:43
Same here. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Okay. The best thing I ever found under a floor.
00:10:49
Hey, y'all. Thanks so much for the rad podcast. You asked for stories of things inside walls, et cetera.
00:10:54
And while this isn't creepy or weird, I had to tell you about it. My dad's best friend, Roger, died of cancer about 10 years ago.
00:11:00
Recently, his widow was remodeling their kitchen, and they had to rip up the old floor.
00:11:04
they found a board on the bottom side of which roger had painted i love you always
00:11:10
oh there's a photo no let me see i can't see that far away oh my god no uh it's just the kind of man
00:11:22
he was the most selfless and caring person you could ever meet needless to say oh i love you
00:11:29
it says i love you always there's a photo on our instagram and twitter uh needless to say
00:11:33
It was super emotional when they found it. It still makes me tear up to see the photo.
00:11:39
I've attached a picture for you. Can't wait to see you in Columbus. Lindsay in Indiana.
00:11:43
Oh, my God. I'm totally crying. Well, that's so fun. That's the best. I have to say I not going to lose my shit but I have to say that I have a junk drawer And I was telling you earlier how I cleaned it out this morning But the first time I cleaned it out not the first time but one time I cleaned it out and I found a card from my mom because she was big into sending cards and she would do it all the time
00:12:10
And it was like not that big of a deal. Yeah. But I found this one in this drawer and it was like she was being very self-reflective and it is the loveliest fucking card.
00:12:19
And it's just all about I can't tell you how much you and your sister mean to me.
00:12:23
And there's this whole thing that's like new again. It's like getting a letter from your mom.
00:12:28
When I got it, it was like 1994 or something. And I was like, yeah, yeah, I'll talk to you later.
00:12:33
Yeah. And it was the best. So that, I think that put me right. And that's like the same thing.
00:12:39
But with something like that, she never knew she had it in the first place. And she might have never known.
00:12:44
Yeah. If they hadn't ripped the floor up, they might have never known. And so he just did it just to be what a sweetheart.
00:12:49
It's like the reverse of sweetheart come. Yeah. Oh. The subject line of this one is grandma finds treasure after grandpa death.
00:12:57
Oh, yay. Hey, y'all. A few years ago, my husband's grandpa died and his grandma, being an older lady on a fixed income, was planning on selling his grandpa's guns for some extra money.
00:13:07
She has no business operating or owning a gun. So smart move. Grandpa kept his guns in a gun safe, but she had no idea where the key was.
00:13:15
She asked my husband and me to come help look for it. She had looked in all the obvious places, so we started searching in the less obvious.
00:13:23
After scouring the house, my husband started looking through Grandpa's closet. In a couple of the coats and pant pockets, he found fistfuls of small bills that totaled to about $200.
00:13:33
Wow. His grandma was stoked, but we kept searching for the key. We finally found it in one of his shoes in the back of the closet.
00:13:40
Love it. That's such a smart place that, like, then you have to tell someone you put it there.
00:13:44
Yes, and you have to remember you put it there. After the hard-earned search, we opened the safe and started inventorying the contents.
00:13:51
At some point, my husband noticed the shotgun was next to the shotgun case, which in parentheses looks like a shotgun shaped duffel bag.
00:14:00
And the case was oddly lumpy. He unzipped it and a pile of small bills came falling out.
00:14:06
The money totaled just over $12,000. Holy shit. Mostly in ones and fives. Oh my God, Grandpa.
00:14:15
From the small denominations, we were able to piece together their origin. Grandma is an avid slot player.
00:14:20
They used to go to the casino regularly, withdraw some cash, split it, and go to their separate ways to play.
00:14:26
Grandma thought Grandpa was bad luck, and he wasn't allowed to play near her. Oh, that makes me sad.
00:14:35
Instead of gambling the money every time, he would pocket it, likely where all the cash in his coat came from, and move it to the gun safe for a rainy day.
00:14:45
Turns out when he claimed to always be losing, he was just being smart and saving.
00:14:49
Grandma was relieved to have the money as she was stressing out about his funeral.
00:14:54
I'll never forget the image of a pile of money on her kitchen counter and her cursing and thanking him in the same breath.
00:15:01
Stay sexy and don't assume Grandpa is bad luck, Nicole. Oh, I'm going to cry. I love it so much.
00:15:08
That's like, it's like sweet and sad and smart and... And to me, it's the most romantic thing, which is someone thinking about you.
00:15:19
Yeah. Not like, I'm thinking about you and trying to get all this credit, but just doing it
00:15:23
like in the way that actually matters. Am I wrong that that sounds like something Vince would do?
00:15:28
Oh, absolutely. Right? That's. Yes. Vince is the person that just like, yes, he's the take care of it big picture guy.
00:15:35
Yeah. He like, he has me sit at Buffalo while I fucking blast through a bunch of money and he goes
00:15:40
and plays. Okay. Good night. Hello, beautiful. I'm Amy Eric, founder of Madison Reed.

00:16:19
Backstage, on the road, it's loud, messy, real. And that's the best part. Whole crew, no plan, just moving.
00:16:27
Good thing Nissan builds for that kind of chaos. Not just test tracks, real life scenes.

Well, here's the subject line of my next email. Ash is in the trunk. Okay. Hey, everyone.
00:17:34
My name is Mary Lou, and I'm a semi-frequent emailer, very heavy listener. Thank you for declaring yourself, Mary Lou, so clearly and accurately.
00:17:44
Yesterday, I went to go see The Dead and Co. And then in parentheses, The Grateful Dead minus Jerry Garcia plus John Mayer.
00:17:52
Oh, right. John Mayer's mayor. The one that invented the lemons at the gorge in Washington So before I went in I ate three grams of mushrooms and started tripping almost instantly
00:18:06
They love drug stories. Send us your drug stories. Don't do drugs. Send us your drug stories.
00:18:12
Don't do drugs. But then again, if you go ahead and eat some mushrooms in the out of doors, because you're
00:18:17
going to enjoy some trip out music where every other person there is on drugs. It is, including the entire band.
00:18:25
And the roadies. And the roadies. And the concession people. Exactly. Every single person is just going to be the chillest of the chill.
00:18:33
Okay. Okay. I'm also on mushrooms, so I lost my place. And I immediately started tripping.
00:18:42
Thank you. While I was watching the show and going through an intense roller coaster of emotions, as one does who is tripping on mushrooms,
00:18:49
I realized my mom's ashes have been in the trunk of my car for an entire year. Oh, my God.
00:18:57
You put your mom in your trunk and you left her there for a year? They have an explanation, I should say.
00:19:03
Oh, no, it's Mary Lou, so we know. Mary Lou has an explanation. Last year on Mother's Day, my mom died in her sleep of mysterious causes at the age of 50.
00:19:14
Oh, that's awful. Oh, I'm sorry, Mary Lou. I'm so sorry. I was 19 and had to plan, pay for, and organize my mom's entire funeral and such.
00:19:22
Oh, honey. Really shitty. It was a lot for a 19-year-old to deal with, but I got it done and it all worked out.
00:19:29
Fuck yes, Mary Lou. Mary Lou. Well done. Your mom would be proud of you. That sucks so much.
00:19:34
I know. At 19. 19. And that's the thing about when people die is the people closest to the person who are
00:19:41
the most affected also have to start making a shit ton of decisions. This is why you want to do it before you die and make all your plans and shit, right?
00:19:48
Yeah, you want to, but no one does. No one does. No one does. Okay. All right. We're with you, Mary Lou.
00:19:55
After spending most of the summer in Wisconsin where I'm from, I realized I needed to change.
00:19:59
So I uprooted my life, put my dog and all my belongings in my car and moved to Portland.
00:20:04
Nice. It was actually a great idea. I had planned on bringing my mom's ashes with me.
00:20:08
And as I made this long trip, I would stop in beautiful places and scatter her throughout the country where she would be whisked away over pretty landscapes.
00:20:17
Only problem. I left home without the fucking ashes. By the time I realized this, I was already in northern Colorado.
00:20:25
Oh, my God. So I made my dad FedEx them to the airstream I was staying on on a farm in Fort Collins.
00:20:31
That sounds amazing. So good right now. Yeah. Okay, when they showed up, they were in an Amazon box that my dad had just re-duct taped and scribbled my dress on in purple Sharpie.
00:20:42
I threw the box in the trunk and kept on driving, but for whatever reason, it never felt like the right time or place to scatter her.
00:20:48
That makes sense. I moved to Portland and became a preschool teacher and have been living here ever since.
00:20:53
I kept forgetting that Sue was indeed in the trunk of my car and that eventually I was going to have to do something with her until I ate a bunch of mushrooms at the gourd.
00:21:03
Oh, oh, this story is when you're on mushrooms, don't think about your dead mom's ashes.
00:21:10
Like that's the worst thing to think about. But it's also like she's saying, because these crazy drugs, psilocybin and mushrooms are an emotional roller coaster.
00:21:21
You go emotionally crazy. So it's perfect. Just like this email is an emotional roller coaster.
00:21:28
OK, I realized a year is way too long to have my mom in the trunk of the car. And that it's not ha ha funny anymore.
00:21:35
It's just fucking weird. So today I went to my car and pulled out the box where I opened it in my apartment only to realize some of the ashes had spilled out from the plastic urn into the cardboard box.
00:21:49
I go to dump it out of my window to try to dust off the box. But the wind blew it into my apartment at that blew into my apartment at that exact moment.
00:22:00
and pieces of my fucking mom's ashes blew into my house and into my face what is this lesson learned if you keep your mom's ashes in the trunk for a year she will
00:22:14
retaliate when you finally move her my mom is the reason i'm a murderino sorry and she would have loved your podcast
00:22:26
so on both of our behalves ssdgm mary lou oh i'm crying too it's so good it fuck it's like
00:22:35
you can't do death correctly it always is fucked up it's of course you're avoiding
00:22:42
spreading your mother's ashes it's like to have your mom die sucks so bad she's traumatized by
00:22:49
this terrible event and then she tries to like make it right do the right thing of course it's
00:22:57
just so typical that's amazing it's just so good that's a great story thank you for that very
00:23:03
personal and very awful story mary lou good job mary lou uh i'm sorry it got me no i love it it
00:23:11

the cage. Her name was Smokey. She was, and this is like a title, not good with kids,
00:23:49
not good with dogs, not good with other cats. And she was not good with the staff.
00:23:55
She put a paw out of the cage when I approached and I thought your cat chooses your
00:24:00
It's a cliche, but that night I went home with a blanket from her cage to test my allergies.
00:24:04
Like, I just picture her putting her face in this. It's kind of, I love cats, but okay.
00:24:09
Smokey was a fitting name because she looked like a cranky chain smoking butch of an old woman.
00:24:14
But a new life, a new name. I changed her name to Slate. She wasn't cranky. She had resting cat bitch face.
00:24:20
She was a badass. She'd been at the shelter for eight months. As I signed the paperwork to adopt her, I was asked multiple times, are you sure?
00:24:27
slate hissed and swiped as they tried to put a collar on her i picked her up off the ground and
00:24:33
she stopped fighting she only swiped once and that's the day she saved my life what it was a
00:24:39
few months after i adopted slate i thought it was just gonna be an animal adoption story i forgot
00:24:43
i forgot about the hero part like this is really nice this is lovely oh wait what's this podcast
00:24:49
this isn't a podcast no okay it was a few months after i adopted slate i worked third shift but
00:24:55
But this night I was home with a cold. I was passed the fuck out in a deep, deep medicated coma when the fire downstairs broke out.
00:25:02
I was so hard passed out that I didn't hear the alarms go off. My friends were evacuating the older folks, but they had no idea I was home because she was supposed to be at work.
00:25:10
Oh, right. They had no way of knowing I was asleep in the apartment as it slowly filled with smoke.
00:25:15
This was the one only time Slate attacked and it woke me right up. I got right the fuck out of there holding the cat under my arm.
00:25:21
Something that was good was the big, quote, weird guy that every apartment has broke his arm, knocking down the door to the apartment with the fire raging inside to save the pet that caused the fire.
00:25:35
This lumbering giant ran down the stairs saw the fire broke down the door went into the apartment and saved the kitten Let not call him lumbering I mean that rude What if he incredibly graceful You weren
00:25:47
fucking there in the hallway. She's seen him lumber around the apartment building for years.
00:25:52
This is when his body took flight. Right. And he was suddenly the lead ballerina.
00:25:57
It was most graceful. So don't discount the quiet. So don't discount the big quiet guy that
00:26:02
needs to do is laundry and don't count out the old cat. Slate lived for another eight years and when she passed away
00:26:10
a friend forged a special urn for her. She went from the cat that no one wanted to the beloved sidekick, SSDGM Paige in New England.
00:26:18
Paige, she didn't just go to the sidekick, she went to a true hero. She woke you up, she knew what you needed.
00:26:25
Slate! Go get a cat at the Humane Society everyone. Also that's kind of amazing that that cat hated everyone that worked there
00:26:32
but reached out and touched her. Of like, listen, can you please get me out of here?
00:26:38
This fucking sucks. These people are insane. They love cats so much. Will be your best friend?
00:26:43
All the other cats here are fucking dicks. If I get out, I'll get a job and I'll pay you back.
00:26:47
I swear to God. Get me the fuck out of here. Eight months. That's a long time. Also, get this blanket out of here.
00:26:53
Yeah. It's disgusting. Put your face in it. I promise you'll love me. Do you know that when we adopted my old cat, Rory,
00:27:01
who died tragically but comedically um she it was the exact same thing she was an old gray kind of
00:27:08
tabby she was way in the back of her uh yeah a horrible cage she was just like forget it just
00:27:15
keep going and when they give you the room they put you in a room to test it out the way she behaved was if we were trying to strangle her the whole time She was like scratching at like the walls and shit And she peed all over both of us
00:27:29
Oh, honey. Like she lost her shit. Yeah. And then we, me and Pete were both just like, we got to get her.
00:27:36
You fucking sadist. Yes. We were just like, no one's going to take this cat. She's going to die in a shelter.
00:27:42
And she was also really old. So we just were like, come on, you. Come join us. It literally took, because I already had Angus, my big, huge, insane cat.
00:27:53
And it took her like two weeks. She was just hiding under the desk. And then finally one day she snuck into the TV room.
00:27:59
She's like, all right, I guess. Yeah. Oh, and she's like, I didn't mean that. No, wait.
00:28:03
Did she like sit on you? Was she like snuggly from then on? Yes. Well, she would come up.
00:28:07
She would like, everything was a test. So if she came around, you'd have to freeze.
00:28:10
Yeah. And just pretend like you were watching TV. And then she would put herself where she needed to be.
00:28:14
Aw. And then you could pet her and stuff. Yeah. My cat Whiskers, who we found as a kitten on the street, gray and white, lived to be 20 years old.
00:28:22
And she was like, the fucking best. Cats are the best. This has been the Perkast.

00:30:02
Every carton can be traced back to the farm it came from so you can see the pasture where the hens live by visiting vitalfarms.com.
