00:02:49
[Music] countdown this is true crime garage and this is the Killer Fields [Music]
00:03:28
trilogy [Music] Interstate 45 or I45 is a Highway located entirely in the state of Texas the interstate is just
00:04:02
over 280 mi in length and connects two major US Cities Dallas and Houston from Houston the highway continues Southeast
00:04:12
down to galvaston there is a portion of I45 that is known to Houston residents as the
00:04:18
Golf Freeway a short elevated section of I45 in southern downtown Houston is known as
00:04:26
Pierce elevated in a 50-m stretch of desolate land between Houston and Galviston is
00:04:32
called the highway of Hell a mile from I45 lies a 25 acre patch of land that borders the CER oil
00:04:41
field this is known to all as the Texas Killing Field it is just rugged Wasteland but it
00:04:50
is here that for decades the dead have appeared starting in the early 1970s and to this day many bodies of murder
00:04:58
victims have been found within this area and the killing field many girls and young women have
00:05:05
gone missing several have never been found there are some similarities in these cases all of the victims are
00:05:13
pretty young girls and women between the ages of 12 and 23 and most of the located victims were
00:05:19
found in or around water the Texas Killing Fields murders will involve three different counties
00:05:26
and 12 different law enforcement agencies have worked these cas including the FBI despite exhaustive efforts very few
00:05:35
of these murders have been solved many officers say that the 50-m stretch is the perfect Dumping Ground
00:05:41
for serial killers and the killing field has been described as a place that even
00:05:45
if you yelled no one would hear you and if you ran there wouldn't be anywhere to
00:05:51
go this is the perfect place for killing someone and getting away with it the disappearances abductions and murders
00:05:58
span over 30 years Welcome to The Killing Fields [Music] Trilogy yeah 500 episodes and I've realized that
00:06:19
Ohio is one messed up place but so is Texas that's right that's when we took the flying garage ship down to the great
00:06:27
state of Texas for the Texas Killing Fields episodes that was episode 132 from that trailer but that's the start
00:06:36
of the trilogy so 132 through 134 I love the music there and I love that guy that's
00:06:45
reading he's sounds like a wonderful person sounds really smart I like the percussionist that sounds like he's
00:06:51
playing the uh beer bottle there which sounds to me like it's probably a 22 ooun or about half full yeah he's the
00:06:59
same guy that did the the voiceovers right for the Numbers number four the creepy guy that's hiding over there that
00:07:06
keeps he's staring at me with those dead black eyes he's hiding guess where he's
00:07:12
hiding the bottles you don't want to know you don't want to know couple beer shout outs here
00:07:18
Captain big shout out to Cheryl in West Columbia Texas and a shout out to Amy Beth in Plymouth Michigan yeah bwr you
00:07:27
in beer run that's right if you want help us fill up the beer fridge you go to True Crim garage.com there's a little
00:07:33
button there you can click on and it helps the show and you know what we always say with the spillover we like to
00:07:39
call it the spillover we like to help some of our friends out there in the True Crime world in the True Crime world
00:07:46
that is correct well we don't have any time for hesitation or masturbation so let's get right into number
00:07:58
four [Music] [Music] this is true crime [Music] garage and this is the case of the boys
00:08:21
on the [Music] tracks [Music] [Music] by all accounts the engineer did a masterful job of bringing his train to a
00:08:58
stop it had taken a screaming screeching half mile by the time the engine had shuttered to a standstill conductor
00:09:07
Jerry Tomlin was on the radio notifying an approaching train on a parallel track
00:09:13
to stop because some boys had been run over he had also called the dispatcher have you got injuries the
00:09:23
dispatcher [Music] asked no Tomlin said we've got death I'm sure we've got death they passed under
00:09:34
us it has to be death it has has to be and for all the True Crime garage super fans they know what that
00:09:48
case is boys on the tracks the boys on the tracks that's one of the cases that we
00:09:55
receive probably the most praise for yeah but it's funny because people go hey I listen to John Ben Ramsey six-part
00:10:04
episode great work even if they don't agree with with what we uh or our thoughts on that case or
00:10:14
Brian schaer I love your coverage of that but then we'll discuss it and I've had so many discussions
00:10:22
about John Bay Ramsey Brian Schaefer the deli murders so many other cases but boys on the tracks it's really just
00:10:32
like boys on the tracks that was a great job no discussion you're right doesn't seem to need any discussion and I think
00:10:42
a lot of that is that people appreciate that we are trying to write a wrong with
00:10:47
this case and we do that with with many that we present but we weren't the first
00:10:51
ones to do it in fact we decided to cover this case for a multitude of reasons but one back in the day it was
00:10:59
one of my favorite episodes of Unsolved Mysteries and the segment that profiled the boys on the tracks case at that time
00:11:08
was known as the friends forever case because it is about the murders of Kevin Ives and Don Henry both from Bryant
00:11:17
Arkansas and the piece that I'm reading from there in the boys on the tracks trailer we should point out that that is
00:11:26
episode 93 that was a fourar boys on the tracks but the piece that I'm reading there
00:11:33
Captain is from Mara leverett's 1999 book boys on the tracks death denial and a mother's crusade to bring her son's
00:11:42
Killers to Justice and in fact that book went on to win some awards and rightfully so Mara Leverett is one of my
00:11:51
favorite True Crime authors I find that I think she's very underrated in the world of True Crime
00:11:59
she's written the devil's not and boys on the tracks she's fantastic when it comes to there's probably nobody better
00:12:07
when it comes to writing about true crime in the state of Arkansas I'd like to give a beer shout out to Christopher
00:12:13
and New Market New Hampshire Christopher likes anything that's new that's why he
00:12:18
lives in New Market New Hampshire how about a shout out to Rosalie and Boston spa New York she likes things that are
00:12:25
new as well yeah but well yeah she prefers her York new but everything else she prefers old all right so should we
00:12:33
get to number three let's hit him with number [Music] three [Music] [Music] St Michael the Archangel defend us in
00:13:23
our day of battle protect us against the deceit and wickedness of the may God rebuke him we humbly pray and
00:13:33
you Prince of the Heavenly Host by the power of God banish into hell Satan and all of the evil spirits who roam through
00:13:43
the world seeking the r of souls St Michael is one of the principal Angels his name was the war cry of the
00:13:52
good angels as he led them in the battle fought in heaven against those LED by the dragon who was in fact the devil or
00:14:02
Satan the devil and his followers were defeated and they were thrown down to Earth according to scripture Christian
00:14:10
tradition gives to St Michael four offices to be the champion of God's people to fight against Satan to call
00:14:21
away from Earth and bring men's souls to judgment and to rescue The Souls of the
00:14:27
faithful from the power of the enemy especially at the hour of death Tuesday March 3rd 1998 Monroe
00:14:38
Wisconsin two men both priests are driving it's about 8:30 p.m. father Alfred Coons the passenger is getting a
00:14:47
ride home from his longtime friend and pal father fiori a Dusty Wisconsin snow was falling fiori and Coons had a 70m
00:14:58
drive ahead of them taking them all the way to the Tiny Town of DNE Wisconsin with a population of only about 700
00:15:07
hardworking and God-fearing people DNE was only a small blip on the big Wisconsin map it was where father Alfred
00:15:15
Coons had called home for many years and for many years he has loved and taken care of the good people of Daye it was a
00:15:24
beautiful night one of those clear March nights where the snowflake melt when they touched the pavement about halfway
00:15:31
home father Coons became silent and then he started to clam up fiori looked at his friend and said Al you have been a
00:15:40
good friend for so many years and I love you for that there was a long pause and father Coons looked up there
00:15:48
were large tears running down his face and all he could say was I know I know around 10 10: p.m. that night the
00:15:59
two priests had arrived at St Michael's Church the destination for father Coons he got out of the car father fiori
00:16:08
rolled down the car window and shouted hey Al make sure you get yourself something to eat I will Coons yelled
00:16:15
back before heading inside and out of the cold most likely within an hour or two
00:16:22
of arriving home father Coons was startled a noise woke him from his sleep someone was in the
00:16:31
building a stranger stepped out of the cold night and into the church and home of Father
00:16:36
Coons but this part of the story is a mystery because we don't know the stranger's name and we cannot see the
00:16:45
stranger's face we can only wonder if father Coons knew the name or recognized the face regardless father Coons would
00:16:53
have greeted The Stranger with warmth and kindness how may I help you my child but the stranger was not seeking the
00:17:00
love of God the warmth of the church he only wanted one thing from father Coons The Stranger would greet Coons with
00:17:08
anger maybe an accusatory question a death threat or words of hatred The Stranger rushes the old priest and
00:17:16
attacks him forced to defend himself father [ __ ] fights back as he is being hit
00:17:22
repeatedly after a long struggle The Stranger gets up and he pulls from his coat at night
00:17:29
father Coons grabs at the blade with his bare hands trying to pry the knife from
00:17:33
his asent sadly he is unsuccessful the stranger put the blade to the side of Coon's neck and slits the
00:17:40
throat of the beloved father the stranger now covered in blood injured and probably cut stands up and as he
00:17:48
gathers himself he curses the priest then he steps back out into the cold night who was this stranger was he a
00:17:56
mentally ill Drifter or some sick twisted Satanist or was he someone the priest had
00:18:03
trusted this is true crime garage and this is the case of Father Alfred [Music] Coons yeah definitely a freaky one there
00:18:21
like the nice children singing at the beginning then it gets dark then it gets dark real dark real quick that was a
00:18:31
that was a case at first when you sometimes when we put the cases on the schedule and then you look back at it
00:18:38
you can't remember well why did we put it on the schedule and initially it didn't didn't seem like there was much
00:18:45
there or that would be that interesting and then also sudden two days into researching a case like that you
00:18:54
just get wrapped up into it yeah that was a weird case and probably one of the Lesser known cases that's on our trailer
00:19:02
countdown that we're featuring this week that's the murder of father Alfred [ __ ]
00:19:08
still unsolved 1998 case out of danne Wisconsin and I think that would have come to us by way of listener suggestion
00:19:17
because I don't know that that's one that we would have found on our own I'm with you Captain I can't recall where it
00:19:22
came from but it was the same thing it's like on the surface you go is there is there really a story here because it
00:19:29
seems like kind of a random misunderstood murder to the point where the the police and detectives have been
00:19:35
up up front and honest saying we're not even 100% sure what the motive here right was and then you start peeling
00:19:44
back the layers and there's a lot to the story and in fact I remember it was difficult to write the the trailer piece
00:19:52
you know you putting together the music and me putting together the words there and
00:19:59
it was difficult to come up with something for that story to lead us into that story and I relied on my one of my
00:20:08
favorite quotes there captain from Stephen King who said when all else fails give up and go to the library so I
00:20:16
remember writing a good majority of that case in that trailer at the local library mhm that is a fantastic trailer
00:20:26
and actually it's one that is so good of course that it made the top three of our
00:20:31
top 10 cuz we're so awesome but it's well I mean we're not talking about anybody else's show here today if we're
00:20:39
if we did a top 10 countdown of other people's shows it would be it would be bizarre but uh it's old enough in our
00:20:48
catalog that it's kind of it was almost forgotten by myself right like we're getting to the point now where we've
00:20:55
done so many cases and so many shows that that I don't want to forget any of the victims I don't want to forget any
00:21:01
of the shows that we've done and so I worry about that and I fear that and when we were putting together our list
00:21:08
this was one that I remembered as soon as I saw the title and the title is the devil did it and it's episode
00:21:17
126 so way back in the day yeah I tend to remember the earlier stuff because it's when we tried things
00:21:25
like look when you're reading your transcript every now and then a little double devil voice comes in and we tried
00:21:35
that for a couple trailers and sometimes it works it really needs its right place
00:21:40
but it's like also like that was one of the first times that there was a separate piece of music before the theme
00:21:47
actually started um and so I kind of remembered those more but even like when people
00:21:54
were at at crime conon they'll go hey have you covered this case [ __ ] sometimes you go that sounds familiar
00:22:01
but you know we've done 500 episodes but think about the amount of cases we've looked into just to put on our our
00:22:09
Master list of cases to cover eventually yeah that's incredible when you when you put it that way my mind
00:22:17
starts racing because it's easily I mean five times the number of cases that we ended up covering yeah 2500 cases I've
00:22:27
probably read about in The Last 5 Years mhm that's a that's a lot of kill kill murder kill well and unfortunately yes
00:22:36
that's exactly what it is but it's also got to the point now when we receive our
00:22:41
you know people email that's our preferred way to receive a case suggestion is to email it to us the the
00:22:48
blog is there and I love the people that that want to get a case out there and they say look I wasn't sure where to put
00:22:56
this so I'm just going to put this here on this week's blog that goes along with
00:22:59
this week's case so God bless you for putting it wherever wherever you can but if you get the opportunity we love to
00:23:06
receive them via email we love to have the blog continue hopefully the good conversation that you and I put together
00:23:14
for that week's case and everybody out there in listener land and in Parts Unknown can expand on that and put in
00:23:21
their own ideas their thoughts their theories too I love when we cover an unsolved case and I get to hear a theory
00:23:29
that we didn't present or an idea that's outside of the box because those are the
00:23:35
things thinking that way those are the things that will ultimately help get these things solved definitely so just a
00:23:43
quick recap at number 10 we had Son of Sam number nine we had Tupac Shakur number eight we had West Memphis 3

00:26:56
seen a group of animals together partying down I saw a guy on I think it was a Tik Tok video or
00:27:03
something but he had a muzzle on a on a hyena and and he had he had a hyena on like a dog leash oh he was trying to
00:27:15
control it walking down the street and it was like trying to attack people it's one of the scariest things I've ever
00:27:21
seen my life I do not want to see that I'm I'm I'm terrified that's one animal that I'm terrified of it and it's not
00:27:27
like a it's not like a metal muzzle or anything it's like a it's like a makeshift muzzle like yeah you can't
00:27:35
just put a regular muzzle on that thing you need souped up muzzle I mean that's the one of the creatures I'm terrified
00:27:41
of I think it's partly because they're they're very vicious creatures yeah but you know like but the in the cartoons
00:27:47
they they're always like laughing remember they like do something bad yeah they and then the hyenas they sit
00:27:52
together and laugh about it afterwards so not only do you end up being dinner but you are also the butt of all their
00:27:58
jokes afterwards at least somebody's laughing at their jokes right they're like ooh the colonel was extra crispy
00:28:04
today yeah thank God we got him on one of those extra crispy days Yum Yum Yum but his his legs were kind of like
00:28:11
chicken legs oh he got them chicken legs no but uh no but I like uh bulldogs and
00:28:19
you know like you got and pit bulls and and they look like tough dogs and that's
00:28:24
kind of what it looked like at first but this neck it's probably I don't know three four
00:28:31
times the size and longer too yes like freakishly longer like yeah it's it's scary what's the world coming to people
00:28:41
were thinking that we're leading up to our insanes Ville show oh yeah our insanes Ville trailer but that's not
00:28:49
coming in at number two no but oh no because we had a lawsuit we're not allowed to talk about insanes Ville
00:28:54
anymore uh poor Zanesville everybody kept on saying uh they C it in Zanesville the town of Zanesville sued
00:29:03
the garage yeah they could for an undisclosed amount of money it wasn't much but they did win they did win they
00:29:11
did win but they just want they really wanted us to stop calling it in Zanesville we paid them in Bush light
00:29:17
and we called it even there's a couple other names that Zanesville goes by um but I'm not allowed to because of the
00:29:25
lawsuit that's right we're sworn to secrecy we signed a uh non-disclosure agreement yeah some some crazy people
00:29:34
from Zanesville but what we can disclose is a big shout out to Thomas and Coryville

00:30:00
number two had to sit there with his bottles number two all right so should we get to
00:30:09
it number [Music] two [Music] [Applause] [Music] the following is a letter written in
00:30:56
Scent from a Maryland prison you were always asking me about my murders well here's one that no one
00:31:05
knows about that's right pal I have never told anyone about this murder I never had to go far to find a victim for
00:31:15
most all truck stops across the US had [ __ ] working in and around them this is a story of a young prostitute I
00:31:23
killed in October of 1995 she was working the 76 Truck Stop in Reno Nevada I was driving a blue long-nosed
00:31:33
Peter belt I was hooked up to a freezer trailer that's a trailer with a freezer I beat and raped that [ __ ] in
00:31:43
the sleeper of that truck that night until I grew tired of her then I put my hands on her neck and
00:31:50
I began squeezing her screams of pain slowly dwindled down to Mere rasp of agonizing
00:31:57
Grunts and groans the sound she made slowly faded away never to be heard again Sweet Death
00:32:06
had finally come down upon her now her body was just a dead carcass laying in weight for the decomposition to start
00:32:15
the breaking down of cells I laid there with my arms wrapped around her dead body and slept for about
00:32:23
3 hours I woke up to my my alarm clock going off at 5:30 a.m. I climbed over her and I got
00:32:34
dressed I throwed a blanket over her then I started the truck up I got out of the truck locked the door and headed
00:32:44
over to the coffee shop to grab a bite and check the computer for loads heading east the closest thing I saw available
00:32:53
to me that I was looking for was a load of ranch house salad dressing they wanted taken down to Houston
00:33:00
Texas the company was located over in Sharps Nevada which is only about 25 Mi north of the truck stop I decided to
00:33:09
accept the job I grabbed a coffee to go and off to the truck I went I climbed up into the cab and
00:33:18
checked everything out and off I go I got to the warehouse in Sharps that had the load but there was no one there
00:33:27
because it was Saturday morning the sign on the door said they were opened up at 9:00 a.m. but it was
00:33:33
only 7:45 a.m. so I looked around and there wasn't a damn soul in sight there wasn't nothing around this
00:33:42
little business park so I thought this would be a perfect place to ditch her off I dragged her dead ass out of the
00:33:52
truck I grabbed my little army shovel and off I went to the back back of that little
00:33:58
Warehouse I found a nice isolated area back there I buried her in about 45 minutes this Industrial Park wasn't very
00:34:08
old so the ground was pretty soft and that's where she is to this day it was not for another two bodies
00:34:18
later that I would realize what a waste of all that good meat was only ending up
00:34:23
being nothing more than bug and worm food I have never Shed a Tear For Those I have killed nor will I down the
00:34:32
road those sweet young drug addicted prostitutes that I killed back in my past were pretty much dead to the world
00:34:39
long before I killed them they were nothing more than walking zombies looking for a few moments of
00:34:47
pleasure from their sick twisted daily lives of shame I feel I've done those poor souls
00:34:54
a favor if I feel any anything for them I feel only some jealousy for their pains are over and mine will
00:35:03
continue as I sit Behind These Bars until the day I die I have enclosed my tooth for you we
00:35:12
never met but now you will always have a part of me with you you take care be safe out there my
00:35:20
best friend signed with a thumb print Prest in blood [Music] probably one of our most downloaded
00:35:36
cases of all time and you know what Captain I actually think that it's probably up there in the world of
00:35:44
downloads because of your music not necessarily the look it's a it's a gross disgusting horrific letter that serial
00:35:55
killer Joseph methany wrote wrote mhm that we were 500 lb serial killer 500 lb serial killer is what we called him and
00:36:02
that's because that's about the cuz he's a fat ass well he you know he was a bigger guy when he got arrested for his
00:36:10
crimes but he grew he continued to grow and expand while in prison and he seemed
00:36:16
to have a good time in prison enjoying writing letters and becoming penp Pals with people on the outside and that was
00:36:23
just one of his many many letters he was only convicted of two murders suspected
00:36:28
of several more and he claims he's one of these dudes he he lies about large portions of his life right and so he
00:36:37
claims to have killed several more people than just two but he was a a monster that um it's one of those
00:36:45
chicken or egg situations right where you go okay did the drugs that he became addicted to did they do this to him or
00:36:53
was he already evil before he started down that path and of course one will never know but before he passed away in
00:37:01
2017 he was pretty close if not over the 500b mark and if you want to see you think that trailer scary the words that
00:37:11
he says there if you want to Google a picture of Joseph methany uh there's some scary pictures that you will see
00:37:17
there I was going to say that and you know he doesn't he just it's hard to say that he even looks
00:37:24
um fat he just kind of a big dude he looks unhuman right he doesn't even look to be human but yeah you're right this
00:37:32
was one of our more downloaded episodes and I think a lot of it was I mean look that that's some good
00:37:39
music there at the beginning and after yeah but people don't know what the music sounds like before they download
00:37:45
the episode I think I think but I think it's the title 500 lb serial killer how can you pass that up that's true you
00:37:52
have to be you have to be a psychopathic serial killer to pass up that title so maybe from now on every title is just
00:38:01
the weight of 185 lb serial killer of the convicted person and and followed by serial killer maybe that's what we do
00:38:12
we're trying to have a successful show after this conversation everybody's thinking to themselves if they can do it
00:38:21
why can't I well you know what I I'm thinking the same thing yeah hey hey I got a great idea we should
00:38:29
start a podcast and by the way we've had a lot of bourbon so I please please forgive us what's it called it's Angels
00:38:38
Envy oh which was one that was recommended To Us by Bob Ruff yeah and um I thought it was anals envy and I I
00:38:47
thought that didn't make sense see this is what happens all right couple shout outs before we forget to do them B are
00:38:56
you in Jennifer and Raleigh North Carolina the captain and crispy Colonel love North
00:39:02
Carolina and then we have Buffy in Lake Char see this is what's weird about the the beer shout outs right when somebody
00:39:09
is from a city you say that they are in right that so and so is in but when the city name is Lake to say that they're in
00:39:20
the lake well that raises some questions right so we say Buffy from Lake Charles
00:39:28
Louisiana yeah hey Buffy you're so fine you're so fine you buet on mine hey Buffy hopefully on the shores of Lake
00:39:36
Charles yeah get in a tan it is so freaking hot outside it's a humid you go outside it's
00:39:43
thick it is thick it's thick humid all right so are we two number one numero is that where we find
00:39:54
ourselves that I don't know where we find ourselves where do you find yourself where do you
00:40:02
find yourself and if somebody told me uh five years ago that we would have hit 500 episodes I would have
00:40:10
said nah not going to happen I would have said maybe 200 300 uh yeah I once we reached the 50
00:40:20
Mark 200 seemed obtainable yeah 500 still seemed very well Out Of Reach question for you then do you think we
00:40:29
can do you think we'll hit another 500 so one of my favorite numbers and I hate to be one of that
00:40:37
weird guy but I've had enough bourbon that I can be one my favorite numbers is three no one of my favorite numbers is
00:40:43
999 999 so I would like to get to that point do you stop at that weird number or do
00:40:52
you go to a thousand stop at that I might stop halfway through that episode oh s just
00:41:00
just get up at like you know you know that part where we come back from the from the commercial and the captain goes
00:41:06
all right and we're back cheers to everybody 30 minutes you'll hear go cheers and walk out the
00:41:14
garage and then I have to say and they never Sol the crime I don't know where he went but I
00:41:21
know they never solve the crime all right here's our number one this is going to please and anger a lot of
00:41:29
people all at the same time 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 John B Ramsey she was strangled with a
00:41:56
Little Miss Colorado 6-year-old murder victim John Ben Ramsey unknown Intruder her
00:42:08
[Applause] brother Victory John B Ramsey oh my God they still have not interviewed the
00:42:21
parents I Didn't Do It John Ram didn't do it and we didn't have any clue anybody do
00:42:30
this my life has been H from that day forward and I want nothing more than to find out who was responsible for this
00:42:40
gives me the chills every single time every time hair standing up on the back of my neck don't ask me why there's so
00:42:48
much hair on the back of my neck yeah and but nowhere else just like on the collar around your neck right uh yeah
00:42:56
well but technically that was also a theme you're right so we we kind of broke our own countdown
00:43:04
we kind of screwed screwed it up because there were some trailers not in every I'm going off of memory here not in
00:43:11
every we did a six parter John Benet yeah and that was as the captain said kind of the theme that started off every
00:43:20
one of those six episodes and we started that with episode number three5 5 MH and did that
00:43:29
for almost the entire month of December yeah we always like to try to take off around Christmas plus people
00:43:39
get really busy with the holidays so it's hard for them to keep up I mean heck I mean we put out so much content
00:43:46
that I hear from listeners all the time it's hard to keep up with you guys well in hearing pany ramsy regardless of your
00:43:54
feelings if she's guilty or innocent hearing her and kudos to you Captain for taking those clips and
00:44:02
piecing them and putting them so perfectly into the music that you created but hearing paty paty Ramsey in
00:44:10
there really evokes a lot of emotion one way or the other just hearing her you know speaking or crying out in regards
00:44:20
to the the murder of of Jean Benet yeah the thing to is like because that that case to me and I'm sure you'll
00:44:30
you will agree it it seems like such a Christmas time case yes you know not only that's when the murder took place
00:44:40
but just also the pictures that you see leading up and and afterwards and so using
00:44:50
um little themes you know from Christmas I mean obviously like when you hear sleigh bells makes you think of
00:44:56
Christmas so to throw throw in sleigh bells to use some themes from like old holy night um use some choir sounds
00:45:07
because that's also something that you hear more around that time uh frame and just uh then once you start hearing
00:45:15
those sound Clips I'm going to say this and and and maybe listeners would agree Christmas songs become so familiar
00:45:27
mhm and so there's this Nostalgia every time you hear one when you hear Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
00:45:33
doesn't even matter who's singing it doesn't matter if it's a old version or new new version it's like there's
00:45:38
Nostalgia there and now on around Christmas time we start playing the same movies over and over the Christmas story
00:45:44
and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation um so you start see at home alone and they start playing those over
00:45:53
and over and over but what's interesting about a case as big as the John Benet Ramsey case is almost all those clips
00:46:02
that you hear in the trailer or theme however you want to call it they're nostalgic now because they've been a
00:46:11
part of so many documentaries been part of so many uh nights researching a case like that
00:46:19
where you hear those clips over and over and over so it really kind of becomes a
00:46:24
part of the your fabric of your past well while we're talking about things that we you know reminisce on and
00:46:32
things that we miss and things that we want to hear more of a little piece in there too is Dan rather's voice yeah I
00:46:41
missed Dan rather's voice I loved you know I wasn't a news guy when I was a kid obviously or or even as a young
00:46:49
adult well maybe you were just a little bit and that's how you got that hair around your neck right he was always
00:46:55
there there and he was always like the poster child of the news for me yeah and his voice is just I mean he's got a
00:47:04
beautiful voice and you always felt like you know what no matter what you know I have
00:47:11
different things that I could tune into different stations to go to but when Dan
00:47:16
Rather was delivering a piece of information to you it just felt like the gospel right it just felt like the like
00:47:24
this guy could could do no wrong could tell us no wrong and I I do miss me some I miss the fact that the news used to be
00:47:33
news and not a bunch of opinions there you go it used to be like we we're sharing this information because we want
00:47:39
you to be informed and we want all of our citizens to know what's going on and know the truth uh so they can make
00:47:46
informed decisions and become smarter people in society and we could all grow together and now they want everybody
00:47:53
fighting against everybody and they want they don't want anybody to know the truth and uh you know they
00:48:02
don't sad times don't mention fighting too much with that weird guy that's in the corner that did the the countown he
