Goodbye. My favorite world Hello! And welcome. Welcome yourself. To me. Welcome you, Karen.
00:01:48
To me and to everybody. And me too. And me too. To my favorite major. The Minoso.
00:01:54
The Minoso. So this is where we read the emails you sent us that are about your hometown murders, things you find in walls, ghosts, grandparents, and the like.
00:02:05
Any fucking anything. By the by, and we are two weeks out from the event, you can stop telling us about the teeth, the dentist teeth in the walls.
00:02:16
I've gotten over 500 tweets about it. Which in today's money is? It is 2,000 tweets about a story that you can be sure, if something was found in a wall and it's creepy, I hear about it three minutes after that story comes out.
00:02:31
That's right. Well, we appreciate you thinking about us. And we love you. You don't need to take further steps.
00:02:37
That can get away. Than thinking about us. All right. Are you ready to dive in? Let's do it.
00:02:43
That said, send us your actual stories. It happened to you. Yes. To my favorite murderer Gmail.
00:02:49
Okay. And we begin with a subject line. My mom survived a clown. Hi, Karen, Georgia, and Stephen.
00:02:56
You're all bad bitches. Yes, Stephen. You too. Thank you. I was. Thank you on behalf of Stephen.
00:03:02
I was about when I was about nine. I was at school and my mom was about to fight a fucking clown.
00:03:09
So it's a pretty regular morning for my mom. She's drinking coffee and getting ready.
00:03:13
And if she goes to put more cream in her coffee, she sees something out of the corner of her eye.
00:03:18
and she turns and sees a clown no no no no no really it was just a guy with a halloween clown
00:03:25
mask on as she drops the creamer and coffee and runs yeah on her uh way out of the kitchen
00:03:30
he knocks her down and she hits her head on the hardwood floor oh my god she regains her
00:03:36
bearings in time to see him raising knife and she deflects it with her arm and gets cut on her neck
00:03:43
a moment later oh my god we're in this thing in it at this time she goes oh fuck i need to fight
00:03:49
and hits the guy straight in the nose with her palm which is fucking classic self-defense class
00:03:56
that's right fucking palm in the nose break it up into our brain that's right um and she throws
00:04:02
him off her awesome she runs to the bedroom and grabs a gun turns around and cocks it right as
00:04:08
He's in the doorway. Holy shit. Yes. Apparently he cut his way through the screen in the open kitchen window from the backyard
00:04:16
and climbed in. This is why I'm never going to live on a fucking ground floor. I mean, for real.
00:04:21
The guy didn't get caught until years later when he did the same thing, but the cops got
00:04:25
there in time to catch him. Meanwhile, my school went on lockdown and all I thought of it was, why is this girl across
00:04:33
the room crying? We're going to be okay. she only told me after i saw the 2018 winter tour and goes oh i guess she means her mom
00:04:42
uh her mom only told her after she saw the 2018 winter tour and she goes want to hear how i almost got murdered what the fuck thank you all so much mac
00:04:52
holy shit i mean that is i was waiting for like and it turned out to be her neighbor
00:04:57
pretending to scare her no no fucking real and her mom saved it until very recently good for her mom
00:05:04
Her mom didn't even tell her when she was in school lockdown that that was like, oh, no, that was because of me getting attacked.
00:05:09
Hey, remember, we got you got home and I had to change the screens. Fucking badass.
00:05:14
Also, just bone chilling. It sounds like hacky when you hear it. But you're in your in your kitchen, like stirring up your coffee, just wrap it up to go to work.
00:05:24
And you turn and there's a clown in your kitchen. Dude in a clown mask. No, dude.
00:05:28
Absolutely not. I reject you and I reject Satan who you represent. That's right.
00:05:35
Okay, this one's called Glowing Eyes in the Basement Window. No. And there's no intro.
00:05:41
Okay. Because this is for real. Because we got to get to it. This episode's for real.
00:05:45
Yeah. I grew up in a super small town in northern Wisconsin I was around 10 years old and my best friend and I were excited to go to a youth group at her church that night Since her mom was part of the church band we had to get there early for them to rehearse
00:05:57
We got there. We were the only kids. We went down to the basement where the group rooms were located to play around until groups started.
00:06:05
The basement was broken up into four quadrants, each with their own lights. So we only had the lights on in our quadrant of the basement, and the rest of the rooms were dark.
00:06:13
It was also dark outside by this time, so I'm feeling a little creeped out by being in this old church.
00:06:19
There's also a window in that room that was at ground level, and that says important.
00:06:24
So we find a bouncy ball, and we're bouncing it back and forth to each other when my friend bounces it wildly to me, and I miss the catch.
00:06:31
The ball proceeds to bounce off the walls and into the windowsill that is kind of pushed back into the wall.
00:06:37
we follow the ball around the room and when it reaches said windowsill we both freeze because
00:06:43
in this window we can make out the outline of a head with the biggest glowing white eyes
00:06:49
we both look at each other with the same terrified face and start screaming as if we aren't scared enough already as we start to run up the stairs we can hear the figure
00:07:01
fucking yelling no help me no we were practically in tears at this point and we run to her mom and
00:07:09
explain what we saw she didn't believe us at first of course but we were both really distraught so
00:07:14
she finally agreed to investigate as we went outside we could hear someone still yelling
00:07:20
help me no this is when my mom's face turned to uh this is when her mom's face turned to an oh
00:07:27
shit look yeah not knowing what the fuck could be behind this old church my mom decided to call the
00:07:30
cops so they could investigate good once they arrived we went behind the church to find not a
00:07:36
terrifying glowing eyed creature but in fact a poor old lady who had fallen off a ladder in her
00:07:42
backyard she had broken her leg so when she saw the basement light turn on she crawled her way to
00:07:47
the ground level window to see if we could help it's scarier it's scarier huge old lady glasses
00:07:54
were reflecting the light coming from the basement which made her look absolutely terrifying i felt
00:07:59
so bad afterwards that it had taken us that long to get her help but hey better safe than sorry
00:08:03
ssdgm your favorite rugby player shelby shit shelby hell yeah i know first of all my favorite
00:08:12
girl's name shelby i'm assuming that is fucking how scary is that they were they really were
00:08:20
seeing something they it was real and it was yelling help me it was real it was a poor old
00:08:26
First of all, lady, what are you doing on your roof? Lady, why are you on a ladder?
00:08:31
You're an old lady. Ask your neighbor to help. If your glasses are this thick, you should not get up on a ladder.
00:08:36
Absolutely not. That's the sign I put next to all old lady ladders. And then she has the army crawl to the basement window and is like, help me.
00:08:43
Help me, my neck's broken. And then these little kids start screaming at you. Also like, oh, it's like she's been laying there all day.
00:08:51
And it's like the light comes on. She's like, oh, oh, oh. I'm so thirsty I wanted a cup of tea
00:09:00
lemon balm tea oh it's awful so sad shit that was a good one okay god there's so many good ones in this

00:09:35
Dottie Kitty is her hashtag on Instagram. Got it, okay. So, to start my story, I have been envious of all the people who have hometown murders.
00:09:43
I realized that I had a paranormal story instead. So, the apartment I grew up in used to be an old coffin factory.
00:09:50
Great, perfect. just like why not buy that and gather all the children you can to move in
00:09:56
you know I know you said you want my rent to be $1,200 a month but I'm going to pay $1,300
00:10:00
just to live there yeah because that sounds great because what what but great things
00:10:07
can be happening in a coffin factory I want to fall asleep at night thinking about the coffins
00:10:11
that were made here on the conveyor belt of coffins that's right and all the great things
00:10:16
okay so listen to this shit okay my dad would tell us stories about how some workers died
00:10:21
when improperly using the equipment. What a dick your dad is. I mean, that's a lot of love.
00:10:27
Me at seven or so, hearing a story about how a woman got her hair stuck in a machine
00:10:31
and got her hair pulled out, scalp and all. Jesus Christ! Yeah, anyways, on to my story.
00:10:37
That's not even the story. That's just an example of shit her dad said to her. Oh, dad.
00:10:42
Go to sleep. Good night. Night-night. Don't look for big glowing eyes in the church.
00:10:47
Okay. On to my story. as a child our bathroom was across the hall from mine and my parents room so one night i was getting
00:10:56
up and walking to the bathroom and there was a large lady with a feather in her hat in my way
00:11:01
she was blocking the bathroom and i really needed to pee so i started shouting at her like any child
00:11:06
who didn't get what they wanted oh my god what you wanted was to go to the bathroom my dad woke
00:11:11
up to me shouting at her and watched the whole thing the next morning he asked me what she looked
00:11:17
like and I described to a T what the wife of the owner of the coffin factory looked like.
00:11:23
Ugh! Other times in that apartment I would wake up feeling extremely trapped in my bed with
00:11:28
all the sides blocked and no scape. Because it's a coffin! Much love, Sarah. That's it.
00:11:33
She's just gone. Peace out! She and she like a lady with a feather in her hat ghost is just gone Peace out Peace baby That the whole story Oh my God Beautifully written Beautifully written
00:11:47
So she as a child would wake up feeling like she was in a coffin. Oh, my God. Peace out.
00:11:52
Okay. Mimi has placed her entire body on top of my stories. Oh, look at this. We call this story Mimi's choice.
00:11:58
Mimi wants to do what Mimi wants to do. Okay. This one's called Career Advice from a Mobster.
00:12:04
Dear Karen, Georgia, Stephen, Pets, and Vince. oh thank you i think he'd really appreciate that i grew up in bensonhurst brooklyn during the reign
00:12:14
of the gambino crime family oh shit in the late 1980s a new family moved onto our block they moved
00:12:20
into a kind of rundown apartment but then renovated it themselves that was unheard of for
00:12:24
renters to do it's fucking right yeah we came to hear rumors that the family father of the family
00:12:29
that moved in was involved in the mafia rumors like this were common but in this case it was true
00:12:33
Norman DuPont was an all-around nice guy to his neighbors. He had a remote control starter for his SUV before they were common in case of car bombs.
00:12:43
Shit. He liked to start his car from the window of a second floor apartment while people were walking by and watched them jump with fright.
00:12:50
What a day. One day around 1993 or 1994, I was waiting for the bus to go to the orthodontist.
00:12:56
Norman pulled up to the bus stop and asked me where I was going and if I wanted a ride.
00:13:01
Uh-oh. I got in. Yes, you did. Because it was 93. And it was a big SUV. It was your neighbor.
00:13:07
Yeah. I know that sounds crazy, but back then, but back in that day, it was okay.
00:13:12
Sure. It was a bit awkward because everyone knew my father had just left and my parents were
00:13:15
going through a bitter divorce. That scenario wasn't common yet. He tried to make conversation.
00:13:20
He asked what I wanted to do when I got older. I told him I didn't know. I was 13 or 14 at the time.
00:13:24
And he said, you should become a funeral director. You could make a lot of money working with guys like me.
00:13:29
Do you know what I do? I couldn't tell if he was showing off, trying to act cool or what.
00:13:37
I played it off and giggled. I couldn't wait to get out of the car. Shortly thereafter, he went to jail for murder and was sentenced to life plus 25 years.
00:13:45
Shit. I saw the mafia take care of his wife and kids with envelopes for a few years after that,
00:13:49
but that stopped. Reading about that time, linked below, he had already committed the murder that he was
00:13:53
convicted of when he was driving her. Oh, shit. Yikes. Stay sexy and don't take rides from hitmen.
00:14:00
M. Wow. Yeah. don't tell us not to take rights from hitmen when you fucking did it you're the one just point that

00:14:49
Today we're diving into a fascinating conversation with Stefano Pallard, head of fan development for Scuderia Ferrari HP.
00:14:56
Your pronunciation is strongly American. It's more Scuderia Ferrari. I'm still working on rolling my R's.
00:15:04
But what I was able to learn from Stefano was the importance of engaging the Tifosi,
00:15:09
the Ferrari superfans in the digital age. Ferrari fans and superfans want to be part of something, want to belong to something.
00:15:18
So they want to be part of a community, and ultimately they want to be part of a winning team.
00:15:23
You've got Ferrari, which has a long history, design history. And now you're interacting in a kind of digital space.
00:15:33
I'm curious how you balance those two traditions. When it comes to fan engagement, it's really digital technology and digital channels are enabled to create a deeper connection with our fans.
00:15:45

00:16:31
I guess I'll just read this one save it for the next one okay I'm not gonna read you the subject line
00:16:38
sup guys I wanted to write you guys to share a story that my parents have recounted to me
00:16:42
multiple times throughout my life and for years made me pretty uneasy when I'd go out for dinner at a hibachi restaurant
00:16:49
Oh, no. When I was a baby living it up in New Jersey. Baby. Oh, just a little baby having a good time in New Jersey.
00:17:00
I love it. Where all the fun's at. Living it up. My parents decided to go out for dinner and sit at a hibachi table.
00:17:07
With a baby? With a baby. As hibachi chefs do, he began performing by doing knife tricks.
00:17:13
This didn't last long, however, because according to my dad, he lost control of one of the knives and it went hurtling towards my little baby body
00:17:20
my dad saved my life by deflecting the knife with the side of his hand which he still has a faint
00:17:27
scar oh my god apparently after this incident the chef began to cry hysterically and left the hibachi table it like it terrible it like a benihana yeah those people are so good at what they do
00:17:48
and they do it so masterfully and they like crack eggs on the side of knives and shit
00:17:53
can you imagine one just bursting into tears it's so hilarious because he almost just killed a baby
00:17:58
he almost killed a baby um holy i wouldn't bring i'm sorry but i would not bring my baby to a
00:18:02
fucking hibachi table well no judgment to her family i bet they only did it a couple times
00:18:06
after that um but also it makes me think did that guy get pressured into being a hibachi yeah
00:18:12
i never wanted to or was he retiring the next day oh it was he had 40 years of an unmarked career
00:18:19
and then this fucking bossy New Jersey baby comes up to his table. Baby's drunk as shit.
00:18:27
Constantly pointing at the shrimp. Flip that one. Yeah, pointing and pointing. So much baby pointing.
00:18:34
Okay. Sometimes I think about him and hope he's doing okay. Because I know I wouldn't be.
00:18:44
Although this was over 20 years ago, the story still gets to me and I literally cannot look at a hibachi table
00:18:49
without thinking the thought of impending doom. Stay sexy and don't get impaled, Mary.
00:18:54
That was, that's the perfect, we also asked for like, when your parents almost killed you stories.
00:18:59
