And you love it. Happy Golden Globes, Georgia. I thought we'd be topical. How did you know?
00:01:59
Oh, I could just tell in your eyes. That I'm what? That you're wearing this insane gown.
00:02:05
Guys, I don't know where she got this thing, but it looks amazing. I'm stopping here on my way to the Golden Globes and then I'll win.
00:02:12
It's a salmon sequined millennial pink chiffon gown that America can't stop talking about.
00:02:20
I need that. Yeah. Immediately. You're going to. I need America to talk about me.
00:02:25
Ferrara. Only America. I need her to not stop talking about me. America, we heard what you said about Georgia
00:02:31
and we love it. Love it. Millennial Pink is in. Girl, thank you for your support. Okay, read a story.
00:02:38
Okay. Let's get serious on Golden Globes night. Can you tell we've had our Golden Globes wine?
00:02:44
The most important night of the year. Karen's had her Golden Globe coffee. I've had my Golden Globe
00:02:49
champagne. Stephen's on all his Golden Globe Adderall. We're going to do this show as quickly as possible.
00:02:56
We also just opened a box from like a gift box that we had gotten from a while ago and there's a ton of fucking chocolate in it.
00:03:01
I've been eating it. Go. Yes. Here we go. This one goes out to you Mounds and Almond Joy.
00:03:08
Not sponsored. The subject line of this is food court stabbing. We're kicked off. Great. Hi Karen, Georgia, Stephen
00:03:15
and Pets. My name is Sarah and I'm 18 and I'm from Australia. That wasn't. That was not.
00:03:22
Go again. I was going to try to hello my name is sarah i'm 18 and i'm from australia there we go we're too far away i can't
00:03:29
do australia anymore around two years ago i was just louder and my voice went out australia and
00:03:34
i made a terrible face around two years ago i traveled to america as part of a school exchange
00:03:39
program and i lived with a host family in seattle my host family were amazing and showed me the best
00:03:45
of seattle and also kind of the worst haha one day my host sisters took me to alderwood mall to
00:03:50
see the film La La Land, after which we then went shopping. Whilst in Urban Outfitters is the name
00:04:00
of my new play. Whilst in Urban Outfitters, people in the food court opposite us got up and ran in a
00:04:06
sea of panic. That's what you want to see, right? In a mall. When you're fresh here from Australia,
00:04:11
dropping trays of food and personal belongings. My host sisters immediately thought there was a
00:04:15
celebrity in the censure. When my first thought was, holy shit, we're all going to get shot.
00:04:20
as this is typically the main thing that we see on the news about America in Australia.
00:04:25
You're not wrong. That's what we see, too. That's what we see now weekly, and we're used to it, and it's a nightmare.
00:04:31
Uh-huh. Let's change that soon, please. Yes. Can't do it now. Okay. It's Golden Globes night.
00:04:37
Golden Globes. It's the best night of the year. Please don't ruin it with gun control.
00:04:40
No, let's ruin it with gun control. It's the best night of the year. But what about the Obies?
00:04:45
It's the only night Karen feels any joy in her fucking life. It's the Globes. Who's the Globies?
00:04:52
We were then ushered into the back stock room of Urban Outfitters, where half the people were having panic attacks.
00:04:57
Jesus. The ones wearing leather hats. And the other half were completely nonchalant about the situation.
00:05:03
Tweeting. Pretending to be. They're on Xanax. All I was thinking was, fuck, someone's going to bust down the door, shoot me,
00:05:10
and La La Land is the last movie I will have ever seen. You have to keep this in mind when you're going to pick your movie.
00:05:19
Is this the last movie? What if it's the last one you'll ever see? Truly. What's yours right now?
00:05:25
That it should be? No, no, that it was. Oh. In theaters? In a theater. Yeah, it should be.
00:05:32
So mine would be Mary Poppins. I don't mind that. Did you see it? No, I don't see movies.
00:05:38
I don't sound like an asshole. Genuinely and sincerely recommend Mary Poppins. It was a feel good bust out hit.
00:05:45
Amazing. And great songs. Love it. And Emily Blunt, you cannot scratch her. She is perfection.
00:05:50
Perfect. She's an amazing actress. She has a British accent. Yeah. She has a great face She can have blonde hair She can have brown hair She can have red hair She was in that live die repeat movie with Tom Cruise America loves her And now she America Ferreira America Ferreira
00:06:05
She is in the top five of America Ferreira's favorite. Best friends. Can you tell about a ton of coffee?
00:06:11
Yeah. Okay. Ready? Okay. All I was thinking. Okay. That nice employee looking after us all said to me, sweetie, you should call your parents.
00:06:21
Okay. I'm going to sidebar this really quick. You like that. No, no, no. I just, that's sweet.
00:06:27
Yes, it is. And horrifying. Yeah. If you're an adult, especially woman to woman, this is my personal preference.
00:06:34
So obviously take this with a grain of salt, which no one seems to ever be able to do.
00:06:40
Do not call other women your age, sweetie. Do not call women older than you, sweetie.
00:06:45
No, don't use the word sweetie. So fucking unnecessarily condescending and rarely sincere.
00:06:51
so if you're just trying to look for a way to kick off a sentence look and listen work great
00:06:57
we will highly recommend that to you absolutely the word sweetie just don't just don't how about
00:07:03
baby girl how about what up ho hey baby girl hey baby girl oh baby sweetie i literally uh one of my
00:07:11
old jobs somebody was passing around a card for a girl that got a job somewhere else that was like
00:07:16
a promotion so they're like we're sending around this card and you put in a piece of advice say
00:07:21
goodbye i know but it was one of those things we're all best friends put in a piece of advice
00:07:26
for her to leave with and i because this girl did it every single day i wrote stop calling people
00:07:30
older than you sweetie and everybody had that reaction i'm like i thought we were giving advice
00:07:36
we need to this is the kind of advice where if i met you and you did that i would immediately
00:07:40
there would just be a spiritual line across through your name permanently don't do it no
00:07:46
you're not you're not going to get the higher ground because you're being condescending no
00:07:50
i've been called it and i'm immediately a cunt to whoever calls me that right immediately very
00:07:55
similar and i'm never fucking rude to like people in public right but if you call me sweetie i want
00:08:00
to punch you in the face it's a posture and if you are a sincere person and you are like but i'm
00:08:06
trying to convey love go ahead and convey love and don't use condescending words baby girl anything
00:08:12
I'm trying to push my baby girl agenda on everyone when did you come up with this agenda?
00:08:17
the new year? this very moment in time that's how good I am let's get baby girl going everybody
00:08:22
okay so she said to me sweetie and also that's the only way you can say it sweetie
00:08:28
you should call your parents sweetie as if to say you may not see them again to which I replied
00:08:32
not going to happen they're in Australia and I do not want to give my mother a heart attack
00:08:36
hells yeah after waiting an hour the police came to let us out I asked the woman next to me
00:08:41
if she knew what had happened to which she replied uh i don't know apparently someone got stabbed
00:08:46
turns out someone did get stabbed whilst trying whilst again whilst trying to break up a food
00:08:52
fight or no sorry no wait i want to keep food fight sorry can we keep food fight in there sweetie
00:08:57
we can't baby girl do not talk to me like that those are our new nicknames sweetie and baby girl
00:09:04
everyone's like what they're the same why why is one upset and one not upset um steven is home
00:09:09
It's a fight between a food court employee and a disgruntled customer who was apparently unsatisfied with the amount of cheese he had with his meal.
00:09:19
Luckily, the man, the food court employee was OK and the stabber was arrested. Stay sexy and don't get stabbed in the food court.
00:09:26
Sarah. Holy shit. Yes. Yeah, that was it. I loved that. I mean, if you're going to get in a fight about anything, it should be cheese and not enough of it in the world.
00:09:34
There's never enough. Truly. Truly. There was a little while when I was deep, deep into my eating disorder and ordering like the secret, the dirty secret of it.
00:09:46
You should see how big Georgia's eyes just got. I'm so excited to hear about the details of your eating.
00:09:53
Everyone's eating disorders like a snowflake. Right. It's just like a personal journey.
00:09:58
What was your fucked up thing? Yeah. It's like the veins in your body, but it's your own, the rivers of history inside of you.
00:10:04
So it's me in the Burger King drive through. because to me, Burger King is the dirtiest of all the fast foods
00:10:09
because it's like, it's very chemically, it's big and sloppy. See, I think Jack in the Box is that.
00:10:15
Really? Trash. Because you can go at like four in the morning. Yeah, it's trash food.
00:10:19
Carl's Jr. is the tippity top of the fucking classiest and I'm obsessed with it.
00:10:23
I love it so much. I want to cry. I love it so much. And then Jack in the Box is like the trash heap bottom.
00:10:30
Okay, can you just tell me where Wendy's, Burger King, and McDonald's go in between?
00:10:34
We're doing top five. Okay, so from the top, Carl's Jr. underneath that, Taco Bell.
00:10:40
Okay, yes. And then... Put in your own five, baby girl. I don't know. We never did one of these as a kid, so it doesn't really come up on my radar.
00:10:52
Burger King actually is really good, I think. Yes. And then what else? Del Taco, Jack in the Box.
00:10:58
Oh, yeah. Okay. How about that? Yeah, that's a great top five. Okay. Mine are...
00:11:03
You know what? So well, it made me think of this because I had a friend, my friend Lydia,
00:11:06
when we lived in Sacramento, went on a rant one day about how disgusting Wendy's was. And I was
00:11:10
just like, literally clutching my breast. Like, what do you mean? I would feel the same way if
00:11:15
someone did it by Carl's Jr. Like, well, you don't know what you're talking about. How dare you?
00:11:18
Where it's like, it's all garbage. It's all garbage. But to me, there was something especially
00:11:24
and maybe this is because in the worst of it, there was a Burger King drive through around the
00:11:29
corner. Yeah. But to me, the most enjoyable, instead of classy, I would go like dirty,
00:11:34
satisfying. What do I really want? Yeah. If I'm going to do this thing, let's go for it.
00:11:39
Eating disorders about it's not you being fucking smart and order. Even at Burger King,
00:11:43
you can order well and be fine. Yes. It's I'm going to Burger King, which means I'm going to
00:11:48
blow everything up. Yes. So what? And I want to. And mom, you can't tell me what to do. I literally
00:11:53
have the you can tell me what to do argument in my head And my mother been dead for almost three years Hi I not laughing at your mom being done You can The argument is hilarious Okay go ahead So I would say Burger King because they do that thing where they pump out a fake barbecue smell And I fall for that
00:12:10
shit every time. So what would you order? Well, I would get a Whopper, but I would ask for extra
00:12:15
cheese. And to me, that's but it's a step too far. Yeah, it's a step too far. You can you can
00:12:21
get a shake you can get a pie and put your pie inside your shake so like a if you got a burger
00:12:26
a shake and fries would be fine but if you had a burger with extra cheese that's like extra you're
00:12:30
just being that you're just being gross i feel like i feel like i'd feel the same way if it was
00:12:35
extra mayo which extra cheese i'm okay with you are yeah i think that you really like the cheese
00:12:42
part love it then that's fine it's what i'm there for your base listen you're getting a double
00:12:47
cheeseburger without the extra meat. That's right. I'm saving, saving on all those. You're not getting
00:12:53
the extra protein that you need. Western bacon cheeseburger. God damn, this is a satisfying
00:13:01
conversation. Yes. Coke, fucking barbecue sauce. Yes. What? Okay. Steven, you might not know this,
00:13:09
but when we are on the road every once in a while, we'll get wonderful, very healthy dinners
00:13:14
to take home back to the hotel with us. But sometimes nothing's open or we can't.
00:13:19
And we'll go to a fast food place. And that's, this is my favorite joke. It's either you or Vince say it every time.
00:13:24
You can always get a salad. It's like, cause we'll be like, oh, this is the worst.
00:13:29
And we do all this fakie. We shouldn't do this. But anyway, we still get our burgers and fries.
00:13:33
Especially at Arby's though. Yes. Like that. I can't. Okay. But this isn't an episode.
00:13:40
This is a mini. we'll stop it at arby's arby's we apologize if arby's wants to do ads here though it's totally
00:13:49
fine listen i love a big beef and cheddar and you cannot get fucking curly fries like that
00:13:52
anywhere else that's right we have the beef sea sauce horsey sauce horsey sauce well that was

00:15:29
to gather dust. Because Next doesn't wait for an invitation, and Hyundai doesn't either. Hyundai

00:16:24
locking your door no matter what even when you were going to do laundry down the hallway
00:16:28
in your apartment i would honestly say that's one of the first rants you ever did on this show
00:16:33
i would say it's over two years ago well i don't know anything about time because i
00:16:38
remembered you doing that in your old apartment yeah steven's gonna fucking find it he's already
00:16:43
a photo of him like so because there was a guy in echo park and he got into an apartment building
00:16:49
and a couple he just like started trying to open doors and there were some unlocked doors and they
00:16:54
said that it was from like women who were going to do their laundry and even my dad to this day
00:16:58
like when he stays at my apartment he alone he locks the door and he says cuz he listened to
00:17:03
that episode yes okay it was episode 29 that was like a million years ago can you my hair was so
00:17:11
much longer well this is called didn't lock my front door while doing laundry slash echo park
00:17:17
oh shit is this ground zero hello all caitlin here yep i was one of the men i was one of many
00:17:26
women that got attacked from this creep fortunately i have a solid scream oh doing laundry one
00:17:32
afternoon i shuffled to the elevator of my roommate and i's three-story apartment complex to grab
00:17:36
my clothes out of the dryer i didn't think twice about locking my door as we live in a building
00:17:41
with locked doors and you had to have a code to get in. As I was coming back, I got to my door and noticed it was cracked open.
00:17:48
Inside was a man I'd never seen before wearing a Virgin Mary shirt. Fucking fucker.
00:17:54
Hiding behind my door I honestly had thought it was my roommate at first coming home but no This crazy fucker put his hand over my mouth and pushed me up against my front door shutting it Oh fuck Somehow I managed to slip and fall to the floor and all I could do was let
00:18:10
out a blood-cardling scream loud enough to scare this asshole and he ran out and I slammed the door
00:18:16
and locked it. Yes. Honey. Yes. I always get so scared that I won't be able to scream when I need
00:18:21
too that like because you've had that dream exactly yes he had left a bag of stuff in my
00:18:26
apartment clothes toothbrush etc and all caps knocked on my front door demanding me to give
00:18:33
him his shit back what the fuck she says yeah okay buddy i hear him run from one end of the
00:18:40
hall to the other slamming his pcp fueled body into my neighbor's door breaking off a piece of
00:18:45
it this guy got in behind a family carrying in groceries oh that's how he got into the apartment
00:18:50
building. Yep. And the landlord watched him walk in. Yes. Oh, shit. Because how many times does
00:18:56
that happen? It's somebody's friend, my apartment building, like, I'm not going to be rude and be
00:19:00
like, let me see your key. Right. You know, I should be rude. It was fucking scary. I had to
00:19:06
go through this whole ordeal with the police made a formal statement with the district attorney
00:19:09
identify him. He attacked probably 10 other women and some were not as fortunate as I was.
00:19:14
Oh, I had even heard he had a knife on him. Makes me sick to think of what would have happened.
00:19:20
I should have known better. My mom raised my siblings and I to be murderinos, not talking to strangers, code words, don't
00:19:26
answer the front door when she'd be in the shower, and most importantly, to scream.
00:19:30
So you did know better. Yes, you did. You fucking did one of those things your mom taught you, and you should be fucking proud
00:19:35
of yourself. Yeah. Do not. Do not beat yourself up. No. I was literally shaking when I heard you guys talk about it on your most recent episode,
00:19:44
Origins. Oh. Thanks for the laughs and gasps. S.F.D.G.M. and always lock your fucking door, Caitlin.
00:19:52
Caitlin. Oh, my God. I'm so glad that turned out the way it did. And also, even if the attack had happened, you still should not have known better.
00:20:04
It's not your fault. It is the crazy man's fault. Exactly. A hundred percent. Exactly.
00:20:10
You didn't invite it. You didn't do anything wrong. I mean, that's a mistake we made early on because we were giving this advice of like,
00:20:16
you got to do this and you got to do that. and we got reached out to by a victims rights group that was just like can you watch that
00:20:22
language because when it happens to people that's the first thing they do is beat themselves up i
00:20:26
should have done this i knew better yeah and it's like no motherfucker yeah the person that is
00:20:31
entirely responsible and guilty is the person who perpetrated the crime exactly the creep in the
00:20:37
virgin mary shirt it's so awful you've seen his photo no okay steven can you there's a security
00:20:42
photo of it on instagram also someone behind your door is very like basic nightmare 100 okay
00:20:50
um um the subject line of this is i know someone who is at richard speck's deathbed amazing hey
00:20:58
yo karen and georgia and steven i went home for christmas last week which is in the chicagoland
00:21:02
area while at breakfast one morning my uncle's in-laws and i were talking about death over coffee
00:21:07
as one does at 7 30 a.m naturally i made a comment that i don't want to go out oh i don't want to go
00:21:14
out boring got it uh because i feel that every night i don't want to go out boring i want to go
00:21:20
out boringly truly um that of course led to this discussion of murder when my uncle's mother-in-law
00:21:28
very casually said i took care of richard speck when i was a nurse oh my god after a little bit
00:21:33
of shocked blubbering on my part she elaborated that she worked in ICU at Silver Cross in Joliet
00:21:39
Illinois and they had the contract with Statesville Prison she and another nurse got word of a prisoner
00:21:44
who was having chest pain they were told his name was El Bazar Massa but soon that's not real at all
00:21:52
but soon after they heard through the grapevine that was actually Richard Speck and he was allowed
00:21:57
to choose a different name because he was afraid the nurses would hurt him if they knew who he was
00:22:02
Yeah, because he murdered a bunch of nurses. Yes, he did. Holy shit. He came in with two guards because he was so afraid of them.
00:22:10
She said, quote, creepy guy, very pale, lots of prison tats. Skin was cold like a snake.
00:22:18
Later that night, he had a heart attack. While they were trying to resuscitate him, she counted eight nurses in the room, as well as a lot of other personnel.
00:22:26
They talked about who would play each of them in the movie. um she of course said her character would be played by molly ringwald but she also made the
00:22:35
point to say that joking about this was bad behavior but it didn't change their efforts
00:22:40

00:23:28
It's too scary to understand that. Yes. So you're, so you're raging like a child,
00:23:33

00:23:38

00:23:47
And they're not going to fuck their shit up. that they don't give a shit what you were just screaming.
00:23:51
Well, they probably do, but they'll save it until they get home. Yeah. I hope everyone's learned a lesson about my
00:23:57
racial equality. Okay, I'm going to do one more. Do it, because I have one more too that's really short and fun.
00:24:04
Great, let's do it. Okay, this one's called My Mom's Ex-Husband Tried to Blow Her Up.
00:24:08
What? Hi, ladies, Stephen and animals. Hi. Hi. My mom was married for less than a year before she met my dad.
00:24:15
It should have been no big deal, but in classic my mom fashion, she hid her first marriage from me and my sister
00:24:20
until my sister found her wedding photos while rummaging through a drawer in my grandma's house.
00:24:24
I love that she uses the word rummaging and not snooping. Yeah. I was just rummaging through my grandma's underwear drawer.
00:24:30
You know how you like to do. I was looking for... I wanted a sachet of lavender.
00:24:34
But instead, I found my mom's secret wedding photo. My sister threatened to tell me everything.
00:24:39
She's a bitch like that. This has everything. So my mom casually mentioned it to me one Christmas Eve when I was in high school.
00:24:46
She literally said, by the way, I was married before your father. Let's not get into it.
00:24:51
That sounds like something my mom would say. Yes. and wouldn't answer any of my questions about it, thus cementing all of my many trust issues.
00:24:59
Anyway, the whole story, which finally emerged years later after a few dirty martinis,
00:25:04
oh man, always does, is that my mom left her first husband after discovering he was having
00:25:09
sex with other men he found through personal ads. He initially confessed to being gay and was okay
00:25:16
with them splitting up, but then he started to worry that his family would question his sexual
00:25:20
orientation if he told him about the divorce. Then shit got weird. He started stalking my mom
00:25:26
and threatening her, begging her to reconcile. She told him she would never add him to anyone,
00:25:31
but that obviously she couldn't stay in the marriage. One day while driving down PCH after
00:25:36
a scuba diving lesson in Long Beach, as one does, my mom's car suddenly caught fire and filled with
00:25:43
smoke. She passed out from smoke inhalation and woke up on the side of the highway surrounded by
00:25:48
firefighters as she tells it this also sounds like my mom she was wearing a rather skimpy bikini
00:25:54
and the firefighters seemed very impressed with her darling figure and then she writes this detail
00:26:00
seems more important to her than the fact that she was almost incinerated darling figure again also driving in your bikini Yeah that right You don even throw a shirt on That the 70s
00:26:12
Yeah. It turned out her car had been rigged to ensure it would explode, but it didn't blow up as intended and just caught fire.
00:26:19
She always suspected it was her ex as he was an engineer with lots of mechanical knowledge.
00:26:24
But not too much. Not enough. Thank God. months later he sent her a letter confessing to everything i asked her why she didn't get a
00:26:32
restraining order or go to the police at this point and she simply replied it was the 70s
00:26:37
i couldn't i had my bikini on i couldn't my darling figure wouldn't let me would cost too
00:26:43
any problem that's right after the car incident my mom said her ex continued to send her letters
00:26:48
and even followed her a few times it eventually stopped for some own unknown reason no big deal
00:26:53
moral of the story the 70s were a crazy time and i'm immensely grateful my mom didn't get blown up
00:26:58
or otherwise murdered and eventually got to have an amazing loving marriage to my dad nice thanks
00:27:02
so much for all that you do ladies you've helped me get through a brutal breakup and have made lots
00:27:07
of lonely wine drenched drenched nights feel a little more fulfilling nice stay sexy and go to
00:27:13
the police if your ex tries to blow up your car shelly good advice shelly you are not wrong i can't
00:27:19
stop picturing scuba lessons in Long Beach. If you've ever been to Long Beach, it's one of the
00:27:24
more, it's slightly industrial and right off the coast. Cause there's a dog beach that I take my
00:27:29
dogs to there sometimes Rosie's dog beach. There's oil derricks or whatever you call them, like
00:27:35
right off the coast. It's not like you're in Maui. You know what I mean? When we were driving home
00:27:40
from to orange County from LA, when we were little kids, we'd like, we'd stay up awake to see the
00:27:45
fire. Like they had these like industrial things like fires lit. It's like, well, it's fucking
00:27:50
oil. Burning oil in the ocean. The kids were like so pretty. Yay. That's our Disneyland.
00:27:56
All the hard starts. Okay. This last one for me is my dad gave a bank robber a ride. Hi,
00:28:03
MFM fam. I'll get right to it. I grew up in a town just south of Boston in a middle class
00:28:07
neighborhood But when I was in fifth grade we had a lockdown in school This wasn common in my area so it safe to say when we had a lockdown there were all um we were all pretty Armageddon about it
00:28:18
as it turned out there had been a bank robbery across from my school and the thief had escaped
00:28:23
on foot anyway we got home from school that day and sat down for dinner we told our parents about
00:28:29
our exciting day and my dad's face got Irishman red he asked what bank and what time and he
00:28:35
escaped on foot as it turned out my dad had picked up a hitchhiker and dropped him off at that very
00:28:42
bank right around the time of the robbery he brushed it off as coincidence but when watching
00:28:48
the news later as it turned out sure enough my dad had driven the robber to the bank he went on
00:28:54
to rob thank god he didn't stick around to drive him home or perhaps my dad would be telling the
00:29:00
story through a collect call from the doc stay sexy and don't enable criminals lisa what's the
