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

hello hi and welcome welcome to my favorite murder the mini so that's karen that's georgia
00:02:28
And this is the mini-sode still. We started the mini-sode about, I would say, seven seconds ago, and it's the same one now.
00:02:35
It continues to be. It's been four years. Look, you know how this goes. Why are you pretending?
00:02:41
What is this willful ignorance? I also tricked you. It's been three years. Ha ha.
00:02:45
Goodbye. You pretended you knew something and you were wrong. The subject of this first...
00:02:50
Damn it. I wanted to transition that really quickly. And the subject line of this first email is Avril Lavigne almost killed me.
00:02:58
Oh my God. Hi all. I just listened to the Gator episode and remembered what a piece of shit I was as a teenager.
00:03:04
So I wanted to tell you about my near miss hometown murder. In 2005, I was, I turned 13, got contacts and decided I was hot shit.
00:03:12
We all did that. Hey, my best friend and I were super into Avril Lavigne and wanted to be the bad girls of our school so badly that we did a lot of stupid shit, like getting suspended from eighth grade for snorting someone's Adderall in a sleepover.
00:03:26
and then parentheses, which coincidentally is how I discovered I have severe ADHD.
00:03:34
Right? You can't know until you know. After we snuck out and egged some cars, my best friend passed out with everyone else while I stayed up and cleaned the entire kitchen.
00:03:42
Yeah. So that's math for you, right? That'll do it. That's that clean pharmaceutical math called
00:03:50
Adderall. So wanting to be badass skate girls, we both got skateboards and decided to skate
00:03:56
downtown, which was about 12 blocks from my house. It's important that you know just how hard I was
00:04:01
trying. I was wearing a hot pink studded ACDC wife beater, stupid name for a shirt, but you know,
00:04:07
a studded belt and a fucking giant Etnies. Oh my God. I'm like, I'm, I'm with you girl.
00:04:13
But 10 years earlier. Yeah, exactly. Um, neither of us had any idea how to skate.
00:04:18
It took us over an hour to get downtown and we, and we definitely did not look cool to make up for
00:04:24
we snuck up to the top of a building, smoked cigarettes, and threw poppers, those little
00:04:29
things that explode when they hit the ground, at people walking by on the street.
00:04:33
In a little cunt. Yes. I love it. And up in Canada, Avril Lavigne is just smiling, smiling in the middle of her mansion.
00:04:41
She listens. You know she listens. She knows. She's so proud. We all are. On our way home, a cop car pulled up next to us, and I was convinced that we were going
00:04:50
to get arrested for the poppers. but it turned out these friendly cops had seen an older man following us oh great which we hadn't
00:04:58
noticed because we were too busy trying to pretend we weren't getting stuck on every fucking sidewalk
00:05:02
crack so they're just like skating home all jerky i've got it apparently this guy had been reported
00:05:08
before for trying to get young girls to go places with him and we were now skating through an empty
00:05:13
neighborhood in the dark oh my god so the cops offered to give us a ride home we rode back in
00:05:17
the back seat of the police car on the plastic bench, which we obviously told everyone about
00:05:22
the next day at school to perpetuate our bad girl vibe and made it home safely. I never skated again and moved seamlessly into a preppy phase, which was much easier
00:05:32
to keep up for high school. I'm super grateful for those cops, but also young people don't get into a car with anyone,
00:05:40
police included. Don't trust anyone. I agree. SSDGM, Phoebe. That's right. Phoebe.
00:05:46
Phoebe. Good job, Phoebe. Thank you, Phoebe Judge. That was criminal. All right.
00:05:53
This one called Nerds Save Baby Killer Hell wait Yeah Okay Here we go It a roller coaster It is Hell yeah or hell no We don know Hey Karen in Georgia
00:06:05
Elizabeth here from Wisconsin with a very weird story for you guys. She's a newscaster.
00:06:10
She's got one hand on her ear. It's Elizabeth here. Right from Wisconsin. From Cheese Wheel, Wisconsin.
00:06:17
And here's weird news. Okay, get serious. I'm taking a biochemistry class, which is definitely the most boring intro to a sentence you've probably read today.
00:06:27
But the professor shared the story that I thought was crazy and cool and made me think of you guys.
00:06:33
I love that. Baby killers make people think of us. Sure, absolutely. So in 1989, St. Louis, this woman, Patricia Stallings, was accused, tried, and then 1991 convicted of murdering her three-month-old infant son.
00:06:46
he was taken away by protective services and fostered after she brought him to the emergency
00:06:51
room with symptoms of antifreeze poisoning they do tests and he has ethylene glycol antifreeze in
00:06:58
his blood and baby bottle not looking great for mommy dearest so baby goes to foster care while
00:07:03
they're locking her up she still has visiting rights and after a visit with her he died
00:07:08
patricia gets first degree murder charges thrown at her because apparently in the late 80s they
00:07:13
started to really care about moms who kill their own babies. It's true. They like suddenly gave a
00:07:17
shit. Yeah. Turns out she's pregs with baby number two while in custody waiting for her conviction.
00:07:23
Has that baby. And then the baby starts showing symptoms of antifreeze poisoning just two weeks
00:07:28
after he's born. Oh my God. Wait, obviously poisoning your baby in prison who got taken
00:07:33
away from you immediately is a hard stunt to pull off. So somehow the whole case ends up in front of
00:07:39
of biochemists. They do all their awesome science and are able to prove that these babies both had
00:07:44
a rare disorder, but not that rare. One in 48,000 newborns at the time had it that keep them from
00:07:50
digesting protein correctly. So the ethanol glycol they found in the blood was because of their own
00:07:55
inability to do normal body stuff. What? She gets exonerated. And as far as I know, is out and about
00:08:01
in the world living her life. What? Wait, but how was it in the baby bottle? Maybe it was just a
00:08:06
spit yeah backwash in a baby bottle i don't know maybe it wasn't in the baby bottle i promise i've
00:08:13
heard the story before she's totally didn't do it that's so insanely awful if she hadn't had that
00:08:18
second baby it would they would have never that's right she would have been in prison forever and
00:08:23
also if it wasn't for those biochemists who actually were like here's what sure fine fine
00:08:27
fine that's fine with it okay biochemists basically this is just to tell you that you don't even have
00:08:33
to be a murderer to be thrown away for something for some fucked up shit that you didn't even do
00:08:37
which i think is maybe more terrifying than the idea of being murdered myself yes it is is it i
00:08:43
also suppose it is because when you're murdered you're not there that's right you know when you're
00:08:47
like you lose a child and then you're in jail 100 good god um also i suppose maybe take some time
00:08:53
to thank your friendly neighborhood biochemists for doing their part to keep the innocent ones
00:08:57
out from behind bars it turns out biochem is kind of hard and i'm glad other smarter people
00:09:02
are doing it and helping us with it. Can't wait to come to your live show this spring,
00:09:07
SSDGM, Elizabeth. Yes, Elizabeth is right. Let's thank all the scientists. Thank you, scientists. And that's a really bummer story. But I just think it's so fucking
00:09:15
fascinating. Well, yeah, because there's all these assumptions, like if those experts don't come in,
00:09:21
and then it's just the people that are putting, putting the story together themselves. I was like,
00:09:25
well, clearly, I mean, I, of course, ethylene glycol, you know, you know how we all assume
00:09:31
Methyl and glycol is always antifreeze. That's right. Christ's sake. Send us your science stories.
00:09:38
Enough of this biochemistry agenda that's constantly getting pushed on this show.
00:09:43
Science. Okay, you ready for the subject line? The day I nearly shit my pants. Okay.
00:09:51
Greeting you glorious bitches, Stephen, and adorable fur family. Okay. Easy. Complicated.
00:09:57
I thought I did not have any cool or bizarre stories to share. Wrong. I could tell you the story of the creature I used to see in my grandparents' house when I was little,
00:10:07
or the person I would see in an apartment I used to live, or my experience at the Winchester Mystery House, but those are for another time.
00:10:15
But those are all stories of you being on drugs. But that's all you having weird, you probably are myopic in some way and need glasses.
00:10:23
And you probably should go to a biochemist and see what the fuck. Someone needs a biochemist.
00:10:27
but then I remembered this doozy before we attacked this person I worked in elementary
00:10:35
education for over 20 years and I'd seen many children and parents come and go one day I asked a mother
00:10:40
one day I had a mother come in to pick up her child and she looked thoroughly shook I asked her if she was okay
00:10:46
and she proceeds to tell me the police had just told her they had been investigating her husband
00:10:52
for taking out a hit on her I thought I heard her wrong but no Oh, my God. Mind you, I have seen these people daily as they come to pick up their son for many years.
00:11:03
So I had a very friendly relationship with both of them. She proceeded to tell me the whole story.
00:11:09
Seems the family business they owned wasn't doing well. So to save their business, her husband decided to bump her off.
00:11:15
After telling me what was happening, she said she was taking her son, but her husband was still going to be coming to do his regular daily pickup.
00:11:23
I was like, say what now? No. She told me the police wanted his day to run normally as to not tip him off.
00:11:29
Something was going on. I felt like from now on, it's like, no, he should be in prison.
00:11:33
No, no, no. They're letting him do the thing he thought he was supposed to do. The family lived right down the street from the school and the police would be waiting
00:11:39
for him in the neighborhood across the street when he pulled into the driveway. With the small child.
00:11:45
No, no, no. Okay. Because let me, I'll keep going. She picked up her son and I was left standing there thinking, I have to talk to this guy.
00:11:52
like I have no idea that he's about to be ambushed and arrested in like five minutes Needless to say I should have won an Oscar for the performance I gave Needless to say he was arrested and is still locked up today
00:12:05
Stay sexy and watch out for suburban dads. Jen. Can you imagine finding out like that?
00:12:13
I mean, an affair is bad enough, but no, he's going to kill you. He's going to kill you for money.
00:12:19
For like a little kid. He's going to kill you for like 40 grand. The thing of, yeah, I had the thing of like, I didn't even know this person that I've been just terrified.
00:12:29
It's the worst. Also, how about teachers have to do everything for almost no money?
00:12:35
Yeah. How about you don't put shit like that on them? Absolutely. Tell her the next day.
00:12:40
Yeah, exactly. Or how about that? How about everybody leaves the school and you put a plainclothes policeman in the school as the vice principal who goes, so sorry, Miss Hoo-Ha isn't here anymore.
00:12:50
Yeah. But you, but actually your wife already took your son. And like, get some professionals in there.
00:12:55
And don't send a murderer to fucking elementary school. Okay, so this... We have rules.
00:13:00
This murderer is going to come chit-chat with you, but just for like five minutes.
00:13:03
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So just act like A, nothing's happening. B, don't be weird. Because if he figures it out, he might go fucking postal.
00:13:10
Yes. And it'll just, don't worry, it'll be at your school with children. The crux of this entire investigation is now laying squarely on your shoulders.
00:13:16
How fun. Oh, what do you get paid? 30 grand a year? Okay, keep it real. Okay, just stay real.
00:13:21
Be real. Be cool. Real streep about it. 30 grand. Okay. Bro, from the show last night to this drive, why is it never chill?
00:13:29
Because this is our life. Backstage, on the road, it's loud, messy, real. And that's the best part.
00:13:36

00:15:49
it's fucked up it's not okay it's good i'm from skaskatchewan no no sorry here we go i'm from saskatoon saskatchewan canada saskatoon saskatchewan canada i did it
00:16:06
Sweet. And when I was probably 12 years old, my parents and I went to the small city of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, for a sports tournament of some kind.
00:16:14
We stayed in a motel that was right on the edge of town and faced an open field.
00:16:17
There were no indoor hallways, so all the hotel room doors faced outside. I guess that's the definition of a motel, right?
00:16:23
Yes. And there was no parking lot on the side of the motel we were on. My mom was about to change into her pajamas before bed one night, and she noticed that the curtains weren't completely closed.
00:16:32
So she pulled them apart to try to overlap them and cover the gap. As a fucking light sleeper, I have done that so many goddamn times.
00:16:38
I sometimes think of bringing a clip with me. Do you know what I saw on a hacky, hack your life website-y thing?
00:16:44
What? The pants hangers in the, um, with the closet. Done and done. I know. Say no more.
00:16:50
Isn't that amazing? That's so good. I know. Back to this. Um, when she did this, she saw a man crouched down in front of the window, looking in through
00:16:57
the crack between the curtains. No. Yeah. she screamed and the man quickly ran off into the field
00:17:02
looking back I don't think she even called the police or the front desk in hindsight it probably would have been
00:17:08
a good idea to report that creep needless to say we were all extremely creeped out
00:17:12
especially me because I had changed into my pajamas directly in front of that window about 30 minutes
00:17:16
earlier okay so a year or two later we had another tournament in Swift Current and for some reason
00:17:24
we booked into the same hotel and once again And fucking parents, man. And once again, we were staying in a room facing the open field.
00:17:32
Ever since the peeping Tom incident, my family and I were always very careful of keeping our blinds completely closed.
00:17:36
So I guess we thought we didn't have anything to worry about. At the end of the weekend, I was standing in the doorway waiting for my parents to be ready to leave and decided to look through the peephole on the motel room door.
00:17:47
It was blurry and I couldn't see anything. That's strange, I thought. So I took a step back and noticed that the peephole was screwed on backwards.
00:17:54
has that ever crossed your fucking mind in your life so the person looking in oh my god when i read this i was like that has never crossed my mind no meaning someone could stand outside and
00:18:10
look right into our hotel room and since there was nothing back there outside the motel and no
00:18:14
streetlights someone could literally just stand there looking in and it was likely like no one
00:18:18
would ever see them obviously we're completely horrified by this revelation i can't stop touching
00:18:23
my face. It's so crazy. Until this day, I didn't realize how easy it was to unscrew a peephole and
00:18:29
put it in the other way. Oh my God. I looked at the other motel room doors and a bunch of them
00:18:34
were looking backwards as well. Maybe it was just a fucking lazy handyman, but I don't think so.
00:18:39
I don't think so. I think it's if, if it's someone in that area that's likes to crouch around and
00:18:45
be a big, big, big, big person. And his knees are starting to hurt. So he's like, could I,
00:18:48
How do I hack my life? He has a hotel room hack too. He's like, you know what? I kind of want to post this on YouTube because it's so genius.
00:18:55
I went on Gizmodo and it was like pervert hacks. Pervert hacks. Don't be like a 50s pervert where you peek through a window.
00:19:03
Come on, everyone. Oh, shit. So basically some creep, probably the same one looking through our window,
00:19:08
could take his pick of which room he wanted to watch, change, have sex in. Wait.
00:19:13
Wanted to watch people change, have sex, etc. My mom talked to the front desk about it, and they didn't seem too concerned,
00:19:19
probably because it was very likely that one of the staff was behind it. Yes. Who else?
00:19:23
So to this day, I always check the peephole in my hotel rooms, and I figured the world should know about this to prevent peeping Toms everywhere.
00:19:30
I'm also taking a risk that a peeping Tom listens to your podcast and is getting an excellent idea from this.
00:19:36
Always a risk. But I highly doubt a voyeur would be a murderino. Stay sexy and remember to check your peepholes.
00:19:43
Cheers, Kim T. God damn. Thank you. Kim, that's insane and amazing. Yeah. We all needed to hear that.
00:19:50
Yes, for sure. And then it makes me think of just the associated issue. Remember to take FaceTime off your phone because people can call you on FaceTime, hang up and spy on you through your own phone.
00:20:06
But my sister's the only one who calls me on FaceTime. I can't imagine she's ever going to give a shit what I'm doing.
00:20:10
She knows it's boring. No, no. Anyone that gets your phone number can do it. Yeah, but if I don't answer the FaceTime, then it won't work.
00:20:17
Yes, it does. That's what I'm fucking telling you. You don't have to answer it. Like, you can look down and decline it.
00:20:23
And it, like, there's something. Read the article. I believe you. I believe you.
00:20:26
I don't build Apple phones. Explain to me, as a biochemist, word for word, how this works.
00:20:33
Okay, so the microorganisms get into your FaceTime. All right. Final email for me.
00:20:41
Subject line. Happy Mother's Day. Here's a bloody body. light-hearted great yeah this has got everything hey hey that's like favorite intro so far really
00:20:50
of three years great hey hey had to share this story about my badass mom she after she divorced
00:20:56
my dad when i was six-ish she made me and my sister her murderino best friends which included
00:21:02
watching movies with her like silence of lambs and identity is that that john cusack movie is it
00:21:09
Steven's guessing. It's so obscure. All of the TV crime shows the 90s and early aughts could make,
00:21:19
and the nightly city news, all while we were under the age of 10. You bet I have a nighttime anxiety and door-locking OCD now.
00:21:27
Cut to that Mother's Day when I'm 11 and my sister's 13. We're from Utah, and we do all that outdoorsy shit.
00:21:33
So for Mother's Day, my mom wanted to go for a canyon drive. Driving the fields to the canyon, my mom yells, holy shit, and throws the car to the side of the road in a panic.
00:21:43
She tells me and my sister to not turn around or look out any windows of the car until she gets back.
00:21:49
Oh, my. And she just runs out of the car. No. Goodbye. I'm your mother. Goodbye.
00:21:54
Goodbye. Forever. Obviously, we immediately freaked out and turned around in the car to watch my mom disappear into a ditch.
00:22:01
What? My mom had spotted a bloody body that was hidden by the brush. Oh. My God.
00:22:07
Right? It always makes me laugh that we watched so many gory crime shows and movies together,
00:22:11
but she was now suddenly expecting us not to look. No. After a minute, she ran back to the car to grab blankets and have my sister call 911.
00:22:20
Turns out this guy had gotten high on Oxy, went to drive his motorcycle up the canyon,
00:22:26
lost control, drove into the ditch and into a barbed wire fence, wrapping himself in it and trying to escape and making it so you couldn't see him from the road.
00:22:35
Oh, my God. He had been there for eight hours in the sun bleeding out. She helped untangle this guy from barbed wire and hold blankets over him for shade because he was completely blistered all over his body from sun exposure.
00:22:49
The cops and paramedics arrived in time to get him to the hospital and save his life.
00:22:54
You waiting for that extra lighthearted part? No, I'm crying. Every year on Mother's Day, his wife calls my mom to wish her a happy Mother's Day, thank her for saving her husband, and update her on his medical recovery and sobriety.
00:23:08
Mind you, this happened nearly 17 years ago, and she never misses a year. Stay sexy and watch out for barbed wire and prescription drugs.
00:23:16
B. I'm crying, and that's so lovely, but why isn't he calling her? Yeah. Men. He's working on his recovery.
00:23:23
I don't mean to turn that. That's a step too far. Yeah. He's probably embarrassed.
00:23:30
Holy shit. Why isn't he calling her? His wife sounds amazing. God, he got lucky twice.
00:23:39
Yeah. That's horrifying. If she hadn't come along. Yeah. Okay. Here's a hero pet story.
00:23:47
Perfect. That we've always wanted. Hello, Stephen. Slaydies and pets. What's that mean?
00:23:53
Like slay ladies, I think. Guys. I'm old. What are you talking about? cat adventure. I'm highly allergic to cats, but I was at the Humane Society with a friend
00:24:05
away from the other cats cages was a gray cat with mange and she looked rough. My abused animal flags
00:24:11
were raised and I approached the cage. Her name was Smokey. She was and this is like a title not
00:24:17
good with kids. Not good with dogs. Not good with other cats. And she was not good with the staff.
00:24:24
She put a paw out of the cage when I approached and I thought your cat chooses you was a cliche,
00:24:30
But that night I went home with a blanket from her cage to test my allergies. Like, I just picture her putting her face in this.
00:24:36
It's kind of, I love cats, but okay. Smokey was a fitting name because she looked like a cranky chain smoking butch of an old woman.
00:24:43
But a new life, a new name. I changed her name to Slate. She wasn't cranky. She had resting cat bitch face.
00:24:49
Sure. 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?
00:24:56
slate hissed and swiped as they tried to put a collar on her i picked her up off the ground and
00:25:02
she stopped fighting she only swiped once and that's the day she saved my life what it was a
00:25:08
few months after i adopted slate i thought it was just gonna be an animal adoption story i forgot i
00:25:13
forgot about the hero part like this is really nice this is lovely oh wait what's this podcast
00:25:18
this isn't a podcast no okay it was a few months after i adopted slate i worked third shift but
00:25:24
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.
00:25:32
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.
00:25:40
Oh, right. They had no way of knowing I was asleep in the apartment as it slowly filled with smoke.
00:25:44
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 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
00:26:04
This lumbering giant ran down the stairs, saw the fire, broke down the door, went into the apartment and saved the kitten.
00:26:11
Let's not call him lumbering. I mean, that's rude. What if he's incredibly graceful?
00:26:16
You weren't fucking there in the hallway. She's seen him lumber around the apartment building for years probably.
00:26:21
But this is when his body took flight. Right. And he was suddenly the lead ballerina.
00:26:26
It was most graceful. So don't discount the quiet. So don't discount the big quiet guy that needs to do his laundry.
00:26:33
And don't count out the old cat. Slate lived for another eight years. And when she passed away, a friend forged a special urn for her.
00:26:42
She went from the cat that no one wanted to the beloved sidekick, SSDGM, Paige in New England.
00:26:47
uh page she didn't just go to the sidekick she went to a true hero she woke you up she knew what
00:26:54
you needed go get a cat at the humane society everyone also that's kind of amazing that that
00:27:00
cat hated everyone that worked there but reached out and touched her of like listen look can you
00:27:06
please get me out of here this fucking sucks these people are insane they love cats so much
00:27:11

00:27:16
and I'll pay you back. I swear to God. Get me the fuck out of here. Eight months.
00:27:20
That's a long time. Also get this blanket out of here. Yeah. It's disgusting. Put your face in it.
00:27:25
I promise you'll love me. Do you know that when we adopted my old cat Rory who died tragically,
00:27:32
but comedically, it was the exact same thing. She was an old gray kind of tabby.
00:27:38
She was way in the back of her horrible cage. She was just like, forget it Just 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
00:27:54
scratching at like the walls and shit and she peed all over both of us like she lost her shit
00:28:00
yeah yeah and then we me and pete were both just like we gotta get her you fucking sadist yes we were just like no one's gonna take this cat she's going to die in a
00:28:11
shelter and she was also really old so we just were like come on you and it literally took because
00:28:18
i already had angus my big huge insane um cat and it took her like two weeks she would she was just
00:28:25
hiding under the desk and then finally one day she snuck into the teasing room like all right i guess
00:28:30
yeah oh i'm sorry i didn't mean i don't know what did she like sit on you was she like snuggly from
00:28:34
then on yes well she would come up she would like everything was a test so you if she came around
00:28:38
you'd have to freeze and just pretend like you were watching TV. And then she would put herself where she needed to be.
00:28:44
And then you could pet her and stuff. Yeah. My cat Whiskers, who we found as a kitten on the street,
00:28:49
gray and white, lived to be 20 years old. And she was like the fucking best. Yeah.
