00:02:11
I'm glad they're there. It's great. And if one's popped out, pop it back in. Okay, I do have an eyeball story.
00:02:18
Oh, do it. You go. You want to go first this time? I don't have a good ending. Do you?
00:02:23
I think I do. Okay, great. So when then you do go first? I'll go first then so you can end it.
00:02:28
Right? Yes. Or do you still want to go first? I just couldn't figure the math out.
00:02:33
You can go first and last if you want. No, I would not like that. That would make me feel bad.
00:02:38
Okay, well, I'm going to go first because all my stories are terrible. Great. And I don't have like a lighthearted ending.
00:02:43
Great. Okay, so this is called Hometown I Survived slash I Might Go Into Labor at Your Show.
00:02:49
Ooh. Karen, Georgia, and gang. And then it says, sorry, I suck at intros. Disagree.
00:02:54
I liked it. It was inclusive. I thought I would share my hometown. I survived story that made me a murderino as just a young preteen.
00:03:03
I wish that I could find more details on it, but it was before the Internet. I grew up before the Internet.
00:03:08
Yeah, I grew up going to sporting events for my twin brother. And most of my entertainment came from eavesdropping on the moms talking gossip.
00:03:15
Hell yeah. That's right. Turns out one of the moms had recently been stalked by some guy.
00:03:20
One night she was sleeping on the couch waiting for her husband to get off. and was awoken by the sound of duct tape being ripped.
00:03:27
No. She came to realize that there was a man in her house. I don't know the details of the fight, except that she ended up grabbing his eyeballs,
00:03:34
which sent him running down the street screaming in pain. Good. She called 911 and the man was arrested.
00:03:40
My mom's other friend served on the jury that found him guilty. Evidently, he had been stalking her for a while, had broken into her house when she was alone,
00:03:47
turned the TV up and closed the kids' bedroom's doors and was planning to rape her.
00:03:54
Who knows what would have happened if she hadn't fought back. That badass survived by grabbing his eyeballs.
00:03:59
Hell yeah. In retrospect, the story may be the reason why I'm always paranoid that I have a stalker.
00:04:05
Always looking, anyways, looking forward to your Houston show in May. My husband surprised me with tickets,
00:04:10
even though it's a four-hour trip and I will be nine months pregnant. Girl, it's like a contest.
00:04:15
we joke about how great of a story it would be to go into labor at your show but not really
00:04:20
baby link hears your voices every day disagree so he will be likely be born of murderino yes a baby
00:04:27
reno stay sexy and don't get murdered because you went for the eyeballs al um al i would just like
00:04:34
to point out adler ai ai like artificial intelligence maybe do you think a computer
00:04:40
wrote us that hometown computer generated hometowns it's the wave of the future here's
00:04:46
all the things you like eyeballs fear defense self-defense babies going into labor eyes
00:04:54
going everywhere um that the sound of ripping duct tape is one of the scary it wasn't until
00:05:02
she just stated it you were like that what a horrifying sound to wake up to the like opening
00:05:07
of duct like peeling yeah because what else would it be it's not someone going oh i just have to tape
00:05:15
down these roof shingles or some shit like that hey i'm in your house while you're sleeping yeah
00:05:19
and it's like you can't do it quietly it's like purposely allowed to scare the shit out of you
00:05:24
that's right you can't quietly rip duct tape no i've tried it many times no you can't it won't
00:05:30
rip that way no you have to go loud and proud chainsaw style with any duct tape and then you
00:05:34
got to go for the eyeballs. And I also was thinking, because the eyeballs are the
00:05:38
most painful, but you know every once in a while, I don't know if this happens to you, Georgia, but
00:05:42
you reach into your nostril because you just want to scratch or pick or do something and you scratch your inside
00:05:49
or you get a zit in there. It's the most painful place to get a zit. I would imagine sticking your finger
00:05:54
up someone nose and scratching the inside would be very effective How about both your pinkies clonk right in the ear holes Ooh yeah Shove them as far Cause you not supposed to put anything in your ear holes
00:06:05
especially other people's pinkies that maybe have very nicely manicured pinky nails on them.
00:06:11
Yeah. Clonk. Scratching around. Or into the ear holes. Right in there. All right.
00:06:15
And also don't be afraid to just hurt their feelings. Cause that'll stop a guy in his tracks right quick.
00:06:22
Say something rude. Oh, you're not that smart. Oh, you're less smart than I thought.
00:06:26
Oh, you don't seem successful to me. Boom, he's down on his knees. Oh, you took the 405 to the 101?
00:06:31
You absolutely should have taken it to the 10. What? The 405 to the 101? You should have taken it to the 10.
00:06:35
Are you a fool? Oh, my God. Who does that? Ruined. He'll never get back up. He deserves it.
00:06:42
Ready? I lived with a cult because the rent was cheap and other stories from my co-worker.
00:06:48
Hi, various humans and animals. I live in the glorious green part of the country known as the Pacific Northwest.
00:06:54
which means everyone has some sort of connection to a serial killer. My uncle was best friends with one of Ted Bundy's victims.
00:07:00
I regularly see Amanda Knox at my local grocery store, that kind of thing. Wow. We got to move to the Pacific Northwest.
00:07:07
We should. We should have a summer home there. Yeah. But some of my very favorite stories come from my coworker.
00:07:13
She's not someone you'd expect to have strange stories. She's this super nice momish woman who's constantly trying to get you to eat
00:07:19
because she thinks you're always hungry. but from what i can tell she's had a life capital l before coming in to work at the bakery wow
00:07:28
during slow patch at work one day i like that idea it's a slow patch yeah um you're just driving
00:07:34
through a work field and here's a patch of slowness um me and my supervisor were talking
00:07:40
about ted bundy and cults as you do and my co-worker casually brought up the fact that
00:07:45
when she was in her 20s she rented a room from the local cult the love family my reaction was
00:07:50
naturally sheer delight and she hastened to explain she wasn't actually in the cult she just
00:07:55
rented a room from them because it was cheap and then while my supervisor and i were processing that
00:08:00
bit of information she also told us that at her old job she was the one who processed the photos
00:08:05
of ted bundy's execution what yeah our reactions quickly turned to something closer to horror as
00:08:11
She described a trigger warning. Okay. His fried head. Ooh. And then she just walked away as if she hadn't just dropped two very fascinating pieces of information about herself.
00:08:27
It makes me wonder what else she's done that she hasn't told us. I hope to see you all the next time you come to Seattle.
00:08:34
SSDGM, Anya. Oh, my goodness. Anya, I feel like there are backup emails. There are part two, three, and fours that you can send us.
00:08:42
And we need the name of the bakery. Yes. We need their Yelp rating. And we need to go in there immediately.
00:08:47
And we need her autobiography. That's right. Because those are amazing. So good.
00:08:52
Renting a room with a cult is a more interesting story than being in a cult. Yeah.
00:08:57
Because you know what you're doing. Yes. You're aware. And it's also like, are you okay?
00:09:01
Right. What are you? you're walking a line as if to say, I'm going to be in this world the most dangerous way possible without,
00:09:10
without participating in time. And I am so confident in myself that I'm not going to be,
00:09:15
join this fucking cult. Yeah. It doesn't matter. Or maybe she was just on a ton of acid and she just needed somewhere to sleep.
00:09:23
Maybe she was in the cult and just didn't realize it. Maybe she's bad at being in a cult.
00:09:27
Right. Do you have to acknowledge you're in a cult? You don't have to be like, I'm joining a cult.
00:09:31
I feel like acknowledgement is a huge part of cults. Okay, so she couldn't have just been in it.
00:09:36
Like really being about it. Yeah. She couldn't have been like, oh, that's that girl that doesn't really like the cult.
00:09:41
Right. They will suss you out, the heads of those cults. Maybe she was the head of the cult and she just didn't know it.
00:09:46
Oh my God, that's the most powerful position to be in where you're not attached to the label of who, quote unquote, who you think you are.
00:09:53
We don't like labels. No, I'm not. I'm certainly not the leader of this cult. You're the leader.
00:09:58
Right. I'm your follower. We all lead ourselves. Yes. in this lifetime. Take more acid.
00:10:03
Job says. Trip out more. Turns out she never lived with that cult. It was just her family home.
00:10:08
She was married. She was married to three children. They drove her insane. She thought it was a cult.
00:10:15
Oh, she was so high. The cult of motherhood. Oh, my God. We figured Betsy out. And I love it.
00:10:23
Okay. Here's another defense story. Great. And I'll give you another place to grab.
00:10:29
Okay. Truly. Hey, folks, it's me again, writing in one yet another story. So sorry, but no, I won't stop writing in.
00:10:37
See, we don't know who you are, and we don't read all the emails. No. So if you feel bad about writing 10 different times, we'll never know.
00:10:44
Also, a great piece of writing advice that I got long ago is write down what you want to write,
00:10:50
and then cut out like 70% of it. Just tell people what they need to know. Maybe it was Hemingway who said that.
00:10:58
One of his cats. Don't worry about you. The last thing in the world you need to be worried about is that you're showing up too much in our email account.
00:11:06
It has probably what over 20,000 emails in it at this point. Probably a million.
00:11:11
Easily a million. Yeah. Including all those Kohl's promo emails. That's right. That one time we bought one thing.
00:11:19
You sign up for one Kohl's cash credit card. You're done for. Okay. So it's catching up on my mini sodes and I heard yet another story of self-defense.
00:11:27
Yes. My husband is an active duty Marine and is also an instructor of Marine Corps martial arts.
00:11:33
Hell yes. Yes. So naturally, he's equipped me with some basic self-defense information.
00:11:37
For instance, I'm about half his size, but I can effortlessly knock him on his ass or flip him over my back if need be.
00:11:44
Sign us up. Sorry. Marine Corps self-defense. Yeah. It's its own type. Yeah. It's its own area.
00:11:55
They fucking tough We should get see my brother learned anything when he was in the Marines Was he in the Marines Yeah Did he get big biceps No but he makes a he makes a mean bed Tight corners Tight corners
00:12:05
Nurses' corners. Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah, he's good at that. Okay. Okay. No, and I'm not even that strong.
00:12:12
However, he's also taught me some easy to remember basic moves that cause a bit more damage,
00:12:16
but require half the effort slash training to remember how to do it. Those are the ones I need.
00:12:20
That's absolutely my thing. Yeah. Especially because I don't really know what part of the body is where, you know.
00:12:25
Right. I don't know. Especially if you're screaming and your eyes are closed. Exactly.
00:12:29
My favorite is the trachea grab. Oh, shit. Here we go. So I went to a nightclub with my friend, the Murderina who turned me on to your podcast years ago.
00:12:38
And we got drunk and had a good time. We stayed until closed because, well, it was the only nightclub in the world's smallest town and we had nothing else to do.
00:12:45
So my friend Jamie got way too drunk. and as we were all ushered out of the club and on into the back alley to wait for our rides,
00:12:52
me and Jamie found a spot off to the side where she could sit while I called a cab.
00:12:56
I made the phone call and turned around to let her know how long it would be, when to my surprise, there was a fellow club goer coaxing Jamie into his cab.
00:13:04
Oh my God. He had the back door open and was trying to get her up off the floor and into the back seat.
00:13:10
I came up to him like, yo dude, what's going on? To which he replied, oh, my girlfriend just had too much to drink.
00:13:16
I have to get her home to sleep it off. So smooth, right? If she hadn't been my best friend,
00:13:22
and with and there with me, I might have actually believed him. However, that was my Jamie and he
00:13:28
was trying to take her from me. Instead of screaming for help, telling the man that she
00:13:32
was with me or the hundred other things I could have done in the moment. The only thing I could
00:13:36
think to do was injure the man trying to do horrible things to my sweet baby Jamie. So I
00:13:41
went for it. I lunched at him and my hand went right for the throat. As instructed by my husband
00:13:46
so many times in our practice sessions, my fingers did not go around the throat, but instead
00:13:51
dug into either side of the Creepo's Adam's apple. I shoved them in and grabbed as hard as I could,
00:13:58
and he immediately started shoving me and ripping at my hand. I let go as a bouncer came jogging up
00:14:02
to see what was going on. Bouncer asked if we were all right. Creepo guy waved him off since,
00:14:07
you know, he couldn't talk anymore. Yes. Got in his cab and left. I promptly started hyperventilating
00:14:12
and explained to the bouncer what had just happened. He helped me bring Jamie closer to
00:14:15
the back door of the club and waited there with us and the rest of the stragglers until our cow
00:14:20
arrived. Jamie and I made it home safely that night. Fun fact, my husband told me that with
00:14:24
enough pressure, you can permanently damage or even crush a trachea. That's right. Stay sexy and
00:14:29
go directly for the trachea. Jenny. I love that she just did it. She didn't ask him any questions.
00:14:35
No, she's not. No, no. She didn't try to enter a logic conversation with a sociopath who was
00:14:40
already ready for any question or thing. Totally. Clearly lying to her face. Probably done it before.
00:14:45
he's so smooth about it yeah i love it you just it's like you're take you're already taking my
00:14:50
friends yeah here is the consequences of the very bad thing you're trying to do yeah it's not logic
00:14:55
trick but here's what i also would say if you're at a club and you're gonna go call a cab you
00:15:00
nuzzle right under that bouncer's armpit yeah and you stay with him until that cab especially
00:15:06
if you have a drunk friend yeah because it's too much to manage yeah and you shame him you're gonna
00:15:11
let us go sit in the back alley and wait for a cab. I need you, big, strong man, to come
00:15:15
with me. Yes, exactly. That's what bouncers are there for. And a lot of times they're just standing there looking for something. I mean,
00:15:20
I love that that guy spotted it and ran over, but I mean, stick to the door. There's no reason to wander off
00:15:29
and be independent after the club closes. Wow, I'm really worked up about this. A lot of club rules.
00:15:35
Please read my book, Club Rules with a Z. this is from um the person we met in the pittsburgh vip uh meet and greet

00:16:55
like people coming to brush your hair for an hour couldn't be better i'm the librarian who blurted
00:16:59
out a fast story about the research collection of quote murder files in our local history room
00:17:04
the files tell the stories of more than 300 murders spanning the 1830s to present day just
00:17:10
from within our rural county an hour north of pittsburgh how the files were compiled by a couple
00:17:15
very cool retired volunteers i absolutely lucked out in inheriting responsibility for this collection
00:17:20
as part of the job and we've helped several people gain some closure by helping them learn
00:17:25
about family members who were victims. P.S. Feel free to steal the work of my volunteers
00:17:30
if you ever come back to the Berg for another live show. They think what you do is awesome,
00:17:35
even though they don't quite understand what a podcast is. Tell them it's just like terrestrial radio.
00:17:41
Anyway, here's one of my favorite stories from our files, which the Pittsburgh newspapers all sensationally dubbed
00:17:48
the Red Toenail Murder. In October 1951, 19-year-old Nancy Rabilis Rabilis and her 24 husband Ed got into an argument because Nancy wanted to go to a dance that weekend According to Ed Nancy refused to promise to dance with him because he was short and it made her self
00:18:06
They're married. Problems. But that sounds like a dude with issues about his height projecting his own bullshit on
00:18:12
someone else. Yeah. During the argument, Ed knocked Mary unconscious, then suffocated her.
00:18:18
The next morning, Ed went to Nancy's parents' house for breakfast and told them she'd run
00:18:22
off overnight. Ed played the part of the worried husband and filed a missing persons report, at which point the police asked him to take a lie detector test.
00:18:30
But Ed refused, saying he was, quote, too nervous. Within a few weeks of Nancy's, quote, disappearance, he enlisted in the Air Force and skipped town to Texas.
00:18:39
Fast forward to the spring of 1952, so like a year later, a farmer walking his property line spots a flash of bright red in the trees and goes closer to investigate.
00:18:49
It's a woman's foot with a bright red toenail polish. He's found Nancy. Ed buried her in a shallow grave on this farm property.
00:18:57
Pennsylvania State Police flew to Texas, where Ed continued to deny knowing anything about his wife
00:19:02
until they showed him pictures of her body, at which point he confessed. Ed returned to Butler County to stand trial, and it marked the first trial in the county
00:19:11
where a taped confession was played as evidence. Ed was found guilty, but disappointingly only served six years for Nancy's death.
00:19:19
Margaret. And that was Margaret's, from the historical files. God, like, he could have gone on and gotten married again and had kids.
00:19:27
Oh, yeah. Like, no one would ever know. Easy. Easy peasy. Six years? Six fucking years for murder.
00:19:34
They must have, like, plea. They plead all over the place. They plead in their pants.
00:19:50
This is terrible. This is terrible. This is serious. Stop it. This is serious. Stop it.

in in high school yeah she says so many red flags i know yes so many graveyard shift in high school
00:22:32
at a Greyhound affiliate. So it's not even like a full-fledged Greyhound in the middle of nowhere.
00:22:37
I think there's over five different horror movies that start like this. Seriously.
00:22:43
That's true. Here's one of them. Okay. One night I was working by myself at the Greyhound Depot.
00:22:47
The last round of passengers had just loaded their bus and as I started to lock up the depot, the phone rang.
00:22:52
I answered and the person on the other line said, hello ma'am, my name is, we'll call him Bob,
00:22:57
with the FBI. My first instinct was to hang up because we received a lot of prank calls,
00:23:02
but something about this felt different. The next sentence he spoke left the hair on the back of my neck reaching to high heaven.
00:23:09
We have reason to believe that there is a very dangerous and potentially armed man on one of your buses.
00:23:14
Uh-oh. Quick side note, because you can board a Greyhound bus with cash and leave absolutely no paper trail,
00:23:19
Greyhound is usually the preferred form of travel for people who have found themselves on a do-not-fly list.
00:23:25
Fugitives, convicted felons, drug dealers, registered sex offenders, etc. because of this i was pretty tight with the local police but a call from the fbi was a new experience
00:23:34
again high school student great graveyard high school student pretty tight with the police where
00:23:41
are your parents listen okay look bob gave me a description of the man and to my horror it matched
00:23:46
the description of a man who had been sitting less than two feet away from me just minutes earlier
00:23:50
he asked me to put him on hold and contact the driver of the bus to confirm that this person
00:23:55
was indeed there. I called the driver, Paul, and described the man to him. Paul come from
00:24:00
and they never told me his name, they just called him X, was sitting in the very front row of the bus and that there was a child with him.
00:24:06
I relayed this to Bob, and then I found myself caught in the middle of a joint FBI, SWAT, and police operation.
00:24:12
Oh, girl! Uh-huh. Or guy. I think Ashlyn, girl. Polly had just pulled off to the first stop and was getting ready to leave.
00:24:22
Law enforcement wanted him to stay put to decrease the chances of anything happening to the innocent passengers on board the bus.
00:24:27
They were sending a team to pick up X and would be there in less than 10 minutes.
00:24:32
I called Paul and told him in no uncertain terms that he was not to move the damn bus until X was no longer on board.
00:24:37
Said an 11th grader. Per Bob's order. Listen to me, Paul. I'm telling you. If you have a not picking bus.
00:24:45
I am not a sophomore anymore. I am a senior. Like, this is not an LOL situation.
00:24:50
This is real. Look, FaceTime me. We'll talk about it on FaceTime. That's right. Take FaceTime off your phone because people can spy on you now.
00:24:57
spy on you it's true uh okay per Bob's order I gave Paul a rundown of the situation and asked him
00:25:06
to keep an eye on the child I gave Paul an excuse to tell the passengers and kept him on the phone
00:25:10
for about five minutes completely faking a conversation about weather delays and an accident
00:25:14
on the I-15 after a little over 15 minutes the law enforcement team arrived and X was taken into
00:25:19
custody it was pretty dramatic and there was a taser involved but not a single innocent passenger
00:25:24
was harmed. Turns out X was heavily armed and was running from his ex-wife and parole officer. Then she writes
00:25:30
two different people. Gotta hope. Beautiful. Across state lines. He was a registered sex offender and was the
00:25:36
prime suspect in a rape-turned-murder investigation. The child was his, though he did not have custody.
00:25:42
I have no idea what happened to him, and I don't know his name, and I haven't been able to find out any
00:25:46
additional information. After X had been removed from the bus, Paul continued on his
00:25:50
route as normal, and I route route. And I locked up the depot and went home to finish a book report for my 11th grade
00:25:57
English class. Are you fucking kidding me? She wasn't even a senior. She was truly a junior.
00:26:03
She was a junior in high school That so nuts It not okay I told my parents hold on let me get the SWAT team back on the phone She should have become a dispatcher Yeah She have been good at that Well she already was one Maybe she just like nah I tried it
00:26:17
I tried that when I was a junior. I told my parents all about what happened, and needless to say, quit shortly after and
00:26:22
found a much more normal job that didn't require me to call the police on a weekly basis.
00:26:26
At Claire's. Just selling earrings like every other junior in high school. This is so boring.
00:26:32
I hate it. I hate it here. When does the SWAT team come? I'm going to pull this fire alarm just for fun.
00:26:37
I'm going to pierce a three-year-old's ears. Let's see if this will, I can't get the SWAT team over here.
00:26:41
I need my adrenaline pumping. Paul, the bus driver also left the company around the same time.
00:26:45
This was definitely one of the crazy experiences of my teenage life. Though I hope,
00:26:50
though I hope I have, though I hope I never have another run in with the FBI. Stay sexy and don't work graveyard ships for Greyhound,
00:26:57
Ashlyn. No problem, Ashlyn. No problem. We will never do that. Especially in 11th grade.
00:27:03
It's kind of badass. I mean, for real. Yeah. Reminds me of my friend Christine Gooden who always had a job, always.
00:27:12
And she also was in high school, like a sophomore in high school, had a day runner.
00:27:15
Remember those? There was like a little book calendar thing. Oh, my mom and dad had those up, like invested in stocks, basically.
00:27:22
So hilarious to me. A child of a day runner. Let me check my day runner. Okay. Okay, 16-year-old.
00:27:28
Sounds great. CEO and president of your own corporation. All right, I read that one already.
00:27:34
Here we go. Reread it. Let's have some fun. Let's just be fun. But bring something different to it this time.
00:27:40
Okay. Plead. You plead all over the place. Okay. Stop. Okay. I'm not going to redo the subject line.
00:27:50
It ruins it. Hey, MFM fam. In Minnesota 82, you called for parents whose kids have accidentally been hurt.
00:27:57
Well, I have a pretty good one. I was a young single mom at 20 years old, and my son was three at the time.
00:28:02
Oh, gosh. Yeah. We had moved in with my dad and stepmom and my four little brothers.
00:28:07
Dad's house had five bedrooms with a loft type room overlooking the living room.
00:28:12
I was downstairs on the couch watching TV with my 12 year old brother sitting in the recliner next to the couch.
00:28:17
It happened in an instant. My son fell into my little brother lap from the second story left My brother and I looked at each other absolutely shocked My son had fit his skinny little body in between the rails upstairs and cartwheeled off
00:28:31
Oh, my God. The scariest part was that if he had been one foot to the left, he would have landed on concrete floors because we had removed the carpet to install wood flooring.
00:28:41
It could have been so much worse. I'm happy to report that he escaped unscathed and is currently a healthy 19-year-old.
00:28:49
I can hear it. A little kid slapping into her little brother's lap. Like, just like clunk.
00:28:56
The luck. The luck. Of it. Oh. And the, like, fear. Yeah. Like, that would be a moment of gratitude and fear combined.
00:29:05
And then the two of them looking at each other like, oh, my God. And one of them's 12.
00:29:10
One of them's 12. Okay. Also in the same minisode, you read A Hometown Where a Man Was Stabbed 22 Times and Survived.
00:29:16
you were talking about how much it would suck to be stabbed that many times and how long it would
00:29:20
seem nick swartzen talked about this in one of his comedy specials one time my brain went right to it
00:29:26
i'm positive that i do that constantly because i've been watching stand-up comedy for 30 fucking
00:29:31
years tell other people's stories so when things come up i know that i will go into other people's
00:29:35
bits that i've seen a bunch of times where it's like oh yeah that you can't you can't help you
00:29:39
