00:03:11
Think so? Yeah. I've been treating the past, I'd say eight New Year's, like they had nothing to do with me.
00:03:19
Just like that they were none of my business. I mean, that's, yeah. Right? Yes. Because what am I supposed to do?
00:03:27
If you're sober, you really have to do some internal work to enjoy New Year's. Yeah.
00:03:35
Do you like barfing? And do you like 20-year-olds barfing on the sidewalk? Well, then get out there and get into it.
00:03:41
But if you don't... Do you like not being able to park anywhere and other people drunk driving?
00:03:45
And Uber rates up in the 3,000 percentile? Okay. So let's see. This is an interesting email to kick off.
00:03:56
It's a New York story. It's a ghost story. Oh, shit. And then there's also a tech aspect to it for all you techies.
00:04:04
Weird. The subject line is haunted Apple Watch weather report. Okay. Hi, Karen, Georgia.
00:04:11
Steven Menagerie Associates. Here's a little ghost story for you. For nine years, we celebrated New Year's Eve at a family friend's house.
00:04:18
And because we all have kids, we do a countdown at 9 p.m. and call it good. Love it.
00:04:23
It's so funny. Everyone goes home because no one ever wants overwired kids. A few years ago, the host family's husband took his own life.
00:04:33
But we have continued to have this party anyway because it's been such a long tradition.
00:04:38
It's bittersweet. And this was the second year he wasn't there. This year, when we got home, my mom called to wish us a happy new year, to talk to my kids, etc.
00:04:48
and because it's been super cold she asked the weather since I was on the phone I looked for the temperature on my Apple watch
00:04:56
where I use an app that does snarky weather updates for instance right now it says
00:05:03
you're going to take these clouds you're going to like them versus mostly cloudy
00:05:07
it's more fun than the basic weather app so while talking to my mom she asked the weather
00:05:13
I checked my watch and the update had nothing to do with the weather Instead, it said, I sent a ghost to haunt you tonight.
00:05:21
His name is Jerry. And Jerry is the name of our deceased friend whose house we were just celebrating.
00:05:27
Oh, my God. I made my husband come over and take a picture before it went away. Because, again, I was on the phone and couldn't do it myself.
00:05:35
And 20 minutes later, the message was back to the regular goofy weather updates.
00:05:39
You know what's cooler than a million dollars? The weather outside. I immediately texted my close friends knowing Jerry was an who was an early adopter and love tech
00:05:48
Those that knew him decided that he if he was going to send a message a snarky weather app would totally be the platform I know check the weather all the time haven heard from him again And I hadn seen any non weather related updates since Anyway as says DGH stay sexy Don
00:06:06
get haunted. Gretchen. Steven has a photo of it. The actual photo. Wow. Oh my God. That's
00:06:15
amazing. Post it on our Instagram with this post. Also, because also it's like, like,
00:06:21
That's tragic. Tragic deaths happen and people have to go on. And there and that is that kind of thing of like, no, you don't stop doing it. You keep on doing the tradition and you know, that's what a lot of people just do. You you you make do. Yeah. So that's kind of amazing. And then it's like a little weird little message.
00:06:41
That's super creepy because it's like not like it's someone at the app was like midnight.
00:06:46
I'm going to send a goofy thing. It's like 950 on that clock. And that's not a goofy weather.
00:06:52
It doesn't have anything to do with anything. And it's this fucking random name of the person.
00:06:57
Right. Jerry Garcia. All right. This one was sent to me and I just it's not New Year's theme, but I just I love it so much.
00:07:05
And I think you'll love it, too. It's a little long. OK. My favorite murder story that I help solve.
00:07:13
Oh, hi, Karen and Georgia. And just so you know, I got permission from this girl to read this.
00:07:17
Oh, good. Okay. First of all, your podcast is amazing. I'm a huge fan and fellow serial killer murder obsessed weirdo.
00:07:23
I'm an artist and all of my art actually has to do with bringing peace to women who have
00:07:27
been murdered. But on to the real reason I'm emailing you my favorite murder story that I totally help
00:07:31
solve. So I work as a manager at a restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. I have dealt with anxiety and depression for years and earlier this year decided to start
00:07:38
microdosing with psychosib, how do you say it? Psilocybin mushrooms, shrooms. Psilocybin.
00:07:47
Psilocybin, thank you, as a way to cope. Now, when you microdose, you don't actually trip.
00:07:51
You just feel a little energized and much happier. So mid-July of this year, I had been microdosing for a couple of weeks and everything had been
00:07:57
going fine. I woke up late one morning and didn't have time to eat before I left for work, but still
00:08:01
decided to microdose. This was a mistake because I took them on an empty stomach.
00:08:06
By the time I got to work, I was full on tripping. I was managing it and staying calm and things were going fine until the bartender went on his lunch break and I got behind the bar to cover for him.
00:08:15
No. Next thing I know, two NYPD detectives with guns strapped to their hips, wearing fancy suits, walk into the restaurant, come over to me at the bar and ask to speak with the manager.
00:08:25
Me. No. At this point, I'm starting to panic but manage to remain calm. They then introduce themselves as homicide detectives and my face lights up.
00:08:35
I literally obsessively watch true crime, listen to true crime, read true crime, etc.
00:08:40
They proceed to tell me that a couple days before, a young female nurse named Samantha was murdered in her home in Queens.
00:08:46
She had been raped, strangled, wrapped in a sheet, and then shoved in her closet.
00:08:51
Her brother and father had found her after they broke into her apartment when she didn't respond.
00:08:55
Horrible. The detective is going to tell me that they believe she met the man who murdered her, quote, on a popular dating site,
00:09:01
and that they had just started dating but had not yet met any of her friends and family.
00:09:06
They tracked the last known place the victim's credit card had been used, and lo and behold, it was at the restaurant across the street from ours.
00:09:15
Then the police tell me that the other restaurant does not have good security footage,
00:09:18
but the couple had walked right in front of our restaurant security cameras. So they need me to get the footage so that they can run facial recognition software on it
00:09:29
in order to identify the suspect. Let me remind you that I'm still tripping balls and all I can think is, oh my God, this is real life true crime shit happening right now, right in front of me.
00:09:38
So I can't shake this freak of a grin off my face. Legit, they must have thought I was crazy.
00:09:42
So I managed to pull myself together and go downstairs with the detectives to look through security footage.
00:09:47
After about 30, 40 minutes of searching, our timestamp was off and luckily allowed me for time to start coming down from my mushroom trip.
00:09:55
Yeah. They were able to find the footage they needed and both the victim and the murderer walked right under our cameras.
00:10:02
They then thanked me, took the footage with them and told me to stay updated on the story.
00:10:06
Not two days later, I follow up with the story and find out that detectives ran the footage from our security cameras through facial recognition software and identified him.
00:10:15
They then track him from New York to guess where? Los Angeles. Now, this is the really other crazy, really crazy other part.
00:10:22
They raid his hotel room where they find not only him, but another woman tied up who was being tortured.
00:10:29
No. They saved the woman and he is currently in prison in California facing charges of rape, kidnapping and torture before he can be extradited back to New York to be charged with the murder of Samantha.
00:10:39
Wow. In his most recent interviews with a reporter who visited him in prison, he said that voices in his head told him to murder Samantha along with four other women in the Connecticut and New York area that he met on dating sites.
00:10:51
he said he quote liked them and didn't want to kill them but the voices in his head made him
00:10:56
murder them so that is my favorite murder story and the story of how i helped homicide detectives
00:11:01
identify and catch a killer while i was tripping balls on mushrooms i hope you all enjoy my story
00:11:05
and i was like this is bullshit i would have heard about this but then she's like here's two
00:11:09
fucking links about it and it's 100 true and even fucking crazier wow it's bananas thanks so much
00:11:15
best regards Kelsey. Wow. That's so crazy. I know. I just the idea. And it's hilarious and
00:11:25
insane. And also kind of makes me panic the idea that she was tripping. Yeah. And then
00:11:29
have you ever been around an actual detective because I had a homicide detective knock on my
00:11:37
door one morning. Thank God I was like, I think I'd already miraculously taken a shower, which
00:11:43
normally wouldn't happen if I was just around the house and was like wearing a bra.
00:11:50
But somebody there had been a shooting like down the street from my house Oh my God And so it was just a guy asking if I had heard anything or seen anything And I had the exact same reaction where I was like um um and I was like I was like
00:12:05
I heard something that dogs barked. I checked my back fence to make sure no one jumped over my fence
00:12:10
and that's it. But it was, it's a whole different realm of person because it's Paul fucking holes.
00:12:18
It's a Paul holes. I had to have a lunch conversation with him and I was just like,
00:12:22
I can't speak. Yes. There is a, there's a gravitas to these people. They've, they're in the shit.
00:12:29
They do the shit. They're trying to fix the shit. It's, and oftentimes they wear really good suits.
00:12:37
Yes. So there's colored suits, suits, and they have, but then they have a gun. It's a gun and a suit.
00:12:42
Which scares me. I'm scared to be around guns. It's sexy and scary. It's attraction repulsion.
00:12:49
It's blood sugar, sex magic. are you okay it wasn't that funny it was it was because also you couldn't see listener at home
00:13:07
is that georgia like looked down at her hand and listed those off on her fingers like

00:13:28
and your sex and magic and your sex and your magic and my blood sugar okay here's
00:13:34
this one doesn't have a subject line hello beautiful people and animals this happened in 1998
00:13:38
I had just graduated high school and I thought I was grown like all 18 year olds do
00:13:43
nope number one I met a guy in a chat room online. Nope. Number two, we started meeting in person.
00:13:50
He was in college and lived in a dorm. So when he invited me over, I thought it would be fine.
00:13:55
Yeah. Nope. Number three, I went at night. I got into the dorm, which was tiny. It consisted of two beds and a tiny kitchenette.
00:14:04
Nope. Number four, this guy walks into the kitchenette and is in there for what I thought was too
00:14:10
long. Suddenly he turns around and is holding a fucking butcher knife and is walking toward me with the most
00:14:16
maniacal look on his face and smiling from ear to ear showing all his teeth. I can still
00:14:22
remember what he looked like at that moment. Oh my god. So I just took off my shoe, which was a steel
00:14:28
toed Doc Martin boot. Hell yeah, 1990s. And hit him in the face as hard as I could
00:14:34
and just booked it out of there. I've never told anyone this story but decided to share it with you guys.
00:14:40
Stay sexy and don't meet people online. hope p.s i still have those docs and i wear them when i meet new people hell yes hilarious is that
00:14:53
and sorry the subject line which i didn't read you because i didn't want to blow it um
00:14:58
was my doc martin saved my life oh that's one of those really cool things that you
00:15:07
always wish you would do and you tell yourself to do is to not wait till he's like just kidding
00:15:12
that was a joke you fucking hit him in the face because how dare you fucking pull a knife on me
00:15:17
even as a joke well also if that's a person if that is a person who would do a joke like that to
00:15:22
you yeah that's a dangerous personality you don't know them well enough that's not a joke actually
00:15:28
i've as a person who's studied jokes for quite some time i can tell you right now a butcher knives
00:15:34
and people who are half strangers that's not a joke no that's a person that's trying to scare
00:15:39
But a butcher knife when you know someone so fucking well is not a fucking joke.
00:15:43
Yes. Hit your sister in the face. Hit your sister in the face. Doc Martin if she pulls a knife on you.
00:15:48
Do the practice of, and you can say this too, you can be like, this is just a boundary I
00:15:52
draw for myself. If you walk toward me with a butcher knife, I will kick you in the face.
00:15:57
That's just my personal rule if you don't want to be friends with me because of that,
00:16:00
so be it. In the end. I have my boundary is the knife and you know you hit the boundary when I hit you in the
00:16:07
fucking face with my shoe. I'm not against also hitting people in the face with a shoe if they smile and show all their teeth.
00:16:13
Because you don't need to do that. Too many. You're doing Stephen King shit when you're showing all your, even your back teeth when you're smiling?
00:16:22
No. No, no. Stop it. We don't need to see all of them. No one's that happy. The two in front convey the message.
00:16:27
Yeah, if that. I get it. You can try to do it like me, where if you're worried about your yellow corn niblet teeth,
00:16:33
you can smile as if you're always not that happy with the situation. Mmm. It's a smile that goes, mmm, wish it wasn't like this.
00:16:41
I'm mad at you for making me laugh. Okay. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup this summer,

Goodbye. Okay, here we go. Okay. Holiday Boozen reveals skeleton and family closet.
00:19:00
Oh. Hello, Karen, Georgia, and Steven. You guys mentioned recently. Sorry, cats.
00:19:05
He doesn't. This person doesn't. You guys mentioned recently that the holidays were a great time to pry long hidden secrets out of drunk relatives.
00:19:12
There's no better holiday for drinking than New Year's Eve at my parents' house.
00:19:15
And it was actually child's play to get my mom to confess something Soto-voiced.
00:19:19
What does that mean? Sato voice. It's whispering. Oh, that's a theater major right there.
00:19:23
Thank you. After astronomical levels of wine, while the men in the family were safely tucked away in the garage to better access the beer fridge.
00:19:31
I could fucking picture it. God, a beer fridge. When I was born in 1991, my parents lived in a small town in Iowa with a population of about 4,000 people.
00:19:42
Everyone knew everyone, but the way she described it, more menacing than a cheers vibe.
00:19:46
Everyone was all up in everyone's business. My dad worked as a butcher and was handsome but shy, a combination that charmed all the old ladies in town into knitting me baby blankets and sewing me quilts.
00:19:57
But apparently there was one customer at the meat counter who took things too far.
00:20:02
One day shortly after I was born, the police showed up at the meat counter to tell my dad that he'd been subpoenaed to testify in a divorce hearing for a couple in town that my parents didn't know.
00:20:10
He said there must be some huge misunderstanding because he'd never met the couple in question.
00:20:14
he sat down with the husband's lawyer who showed him a picture of the wife and though he recognized
00:20:19
her as a customer of the store he was adamant that he did not even know the woman oh no the
00:20:23
lawyers then showed him hundreds of pages of crazy sex capades that this woman had written about
00:20:30
in her diaries that supposedly went on between herself and my dad oh shit like crazy level
00:20:36
stalker fantasies just whole diaries filled with kinky ramblings don't get your hopes up though no
00:20:42
amount of alcohol was uh was no amount of alcohol has made my mother give up the dirty details trust
00:20:47
me which i think is probably best for you you don't want to hear your no yeah don't try to get
00:20:52
your mom to tell you dirty shit about your dad absolutely not anyway needless to say my dad my
00:20:56
shy dad was mortified and the lawyers uh know in no certain terms that the lady was making all this
00:21:03
shit up right all said and done he didn't have to testify and he got a restraining order shit i
00:21:09
asked my mom what the woman's name was, I wonder where she's living now, i.e. it better be freaking
00:21:14
far away. It's been 26 years and she no longer no longer remembers. I personally would have
00:21:21
prioritized that shit as something worth remembering, though. I am also sworn to secrecy
00:21:26
to never let my dad know that I know he was the subject of a crazy lady's erotic fiction. Maybe
00:21:31
I'll pull the story out of him next New Year's Eve. Stay sexy, but not so sexy you become an
00:21:36
unstable midwestern housewife's unwitting news katie i'm sorry but it's true like a hot shy
00:21:45
butcher oh yeah and you're just like you're just some ignored housewife that's just kind of trying
00:21:50
to make it make your day-to-day work totally and then you're just like i need pork chops i need
00:21:56
something i need hard pork to pork chops hard there's a sexual innuendo there that i don't feel
00:22:02
But there's sexual innuendo all around the whole butcher situation. It's very carnal, literally.
00:22:10
It's very, you know, it's basic. It's almost caveman shit. We're just like, look at him, cut that thing.
00:22:16
You're like, make this thing for me and wrap it in a pretty package. But he's all like eyes down, like, excuse me, ma'am.
00:22:23
And then you're like blushing while he cuts your pork chops. He likes me. He likes me.
00:22:29

big boy okay sorry um we'll continue practicing this okay hi when my parents retired sorry when
00:23:34
my grandparents retired they sold the house my mom had grown up in to my parents right keep it in the
00:23:40
fam got it we lived there for 15 years until my parents built their dream house moved out and
00:23:45
started renting the old house to friends several years later the house was burned to the ground in
00:23:50
a wildfire basically the only thing left was the chimney once the ashes cooled my parents and their
00:23:56
a tenant picked through the rubble. One of the few intact things they was a little ceramic figurine.
00:24:02
No one knew anything about the figurine, but my mom brought it home as a memento.
00:24:07
A month or so later, my grandma noticed the figurine and started to laugh. You finally found it, she said.
00:24:13
My mom was totally baffled until grandma explained. When you were little, you loved playing with the figures
00:24:19
in the Christmas nativity set that we displayed by the fireplace. One year, you lost one of the wise men.
00:24:26
I was so mad. there's supposed to be three and you just can't get a replacement wise man but you just found him
00:24:34
on close inspection you can see that the figurine was molded into old-fashioned clothes and was
00:24:40
painted until the fire burned it off we figure mom must have dropped the wise man into the crevice
00:24:45
between the chimney and the wall making him irretrievable until the wall was destroyed oh my
00:24:51
god there's a happy ending to the burned down house too my parents donated the land to habitat
00:24:56
for humanity. And now a family lives in a new house built there. Blue. Oh, it's not blue.
00:25:04
Blue's the name. Okay, but was that an evil fire starting wise man? Yes, but he waited years and
00:25:12
years. He's like, I'm gonna make a quick funny joke about it. Wow, that's creepy. I'm gonna wait
00:25:19
Until everybody related to losing me moves away. Yeah. That's creepy. I love it.
00:25:26
Isn't it good? But it's like, imagine, then I just go crazy thinking about like all the things hidden in a house.
00:25:33
Yeah. If it's a family house that's passed down and all the things are just like, this was in a crevice.
00:25:38
One time at our old house, I remember looking into a heating vent and seeing something down there.
00:25:45
There's so much shit in heating vents. And pulling it off and finding a ring. down there that was like,
00:25:51
it was either mine or my sister's. We had lost it like a year before But then being like I think that was one of my first treasure experiences where I was like finding lost things where it like oh yeah you don think about if something drops and you didn notice it
00:26:04
Well, the weird thing, too, is when something should be somewhere and disappears.
00:26:07
Like my mom, my sister was a little baby toddler dropped my mom's wedding ring. It was never found like on the floor.
00:26:13
One time I threw a Barbie at my sister's head. The shoe flew off into the closet and we never found it.
00:26:18
It was like, well, where did the shoe? The shoe should have been there, you know.
00:26:22
And I always figured we'd find it when we moved, but we never did. Yeah. Where'd it go?
00:26:27
I don't know. But that just made me think of my favorite picture I ever saw on Tumblr was someone put
00:26:32
Barbie shoes on two cigarettes and it looks like... That's funny. It looks like a person walking down the street.
00:26:41
It's my favorite picture. I like that. It's really... I love Barbie shoes. Yeah, they're really ridiculous.
00:26:47
They're such choking hazards. Right? Because you had to chew them. Oh, I totally chewed them.
00:26:51
Do they still have them? We choose them all the time. I don't know. Does Barbie still have normal shoes?
00:26:56
Choking hazard shoes? Can a seven-year-old write in and just tell us, what's the Barbie shoe status right now?
00:27:03
That's right. Is she still in permanent high heel position? Oh, those poor feet.
00:27:07
That used to stress me. You know my mom didn't let us have Barbies. No. She was against.
00:27:11
Huh. My mom should have been. If someone gave them to us, we got to keep them if it was a gift, but she wouldn't buy them for us.
00:27:16
We were obsessed. Like, that's all we did is play with Barbies. Yeah. We got weird hippie.
00:27:22
Like, this is a family that owns their own RV. Yes, exactly. That owns their own organic farm.
00:27:28
For real. My sister got a thing one year and we were both looking at it like, what the fuck?
00:27:32
We've never seen a commercial for this family where the mom is shaped normally and the children are.
00:27:37
You know what I mean? Like, no one wears a corset in this family. I used to steal my brother's fucking G.I. Joe and he and Barbie would bang.
00:27:45
Hell yes. I would just smash those plastic bodies together. There was something so satisfying about smashing Barbie doll bodies together and whatever weird made up sex idea that you have That what you think fucking is Right And you just got to work through it It kind of I feel like in a way they kind of gave them to us
00:28:01
That was part of like, get ready for this weird panic that's coming in four years.
00:28:06
And that is what sex is. Just smashing your plastic fucking bodies together. Smash your plastics together.
00:28:11
God, I got to get my plastic smashed pretty soon. I haven't had my plastic smashed in fucking ever.
