00:00:05
[Applause] hit him with the hi hit him with the hime I've been saying that ball yeah Howard old Howard the
00:00:33
question here's a question that I think I'm always going to get and the question
00:00:38
usually is had a good conversation all are you and the answer is seven foot four how much do you weigh four hundred
00:00:46
and sixty-one pounds everybody thinks you're like sixty and overweight they say you sound maybe I have the voice of
00:00:54
a 60 year old overweight man is that what it is that's I sound like that or maybe I talk maybe the way I think you
00:01:01
have arts together facing ahead of that and you the rest of your body's skinny but well I told you remember I won the
00:01:08
mr. potato man contest which which paid five dollars to the winner but anyway great conversation that I had
00:01:16
Friday night over a couple drinks and it's a question that I keep hearing is when do you think that you'll run out of
00:01:25
material when do you think that the show will rincon with won't have anything to
00:01:29
talk about you mean Who am I drink it who are you drinking I'm not going to say who I was
00:01:33
drinking that's not important but what is important is that question love and no no I
00:01:39
that here because I've been asked that by a hundred different times by a hundred different people
00:01:44
when will the show be over is that what they're asking no no that's not it it's when will we not have enough material to
00:01:53
continue the show right then the show would be over right yes that's but that's that's not the call right but
00:02:00
that's not the question you and my easy response to that is as [ __ ] you no no it's if we lived in a perfect
00:02:08
world this show would have never have started to begin with in and unfortunately we see on the news every
00:02:13
single day something terrible some person some POS doing something terrible to somebody else and that's a crime and
00:02:21
we talk about true crime it's like it's it's almost never-ending it's in it and in the heat of the moment in the back of
00:02:31
my mind and no disrespect to anybody but I'm always like seems like such a silly question like it like a it just
00:02:39
doesn't you know I mean it doesn't seem like a go-to to me so people were making
00:02:42
conversation yeah but there there's a difference between you know a murder and an interesting murder well there's some
00:02:56
cases that aren't that interesting or there's not much information there so and that's one thing I don't think a lot
00:03:06
of I don't think some of the listeners understand is that yeah oh but hold on to because you're talking about there's
00:03:17
a lot of cases that go on solved and some of that is due to the lack of scientific evidence or or the procedures
00:03:26
you know or the testing that they can do I mean back in the day you you hope that
00:03:31
you find a fingerprint mm-hmm you know now with DNA testing with all the other tests that they can do these cases are
00:03:40
becoming more solved and I think there is I think what they're getting at is there's a lot of these some of the most
00:03:48
fascinating cases are the unsolved cases hmm and are we gonna see that yeah I I can agree with that I you know we are
00:03:58
very lucky to we get a lot of our let's call it material or cases that we that's
00:04:05
better to say cases that we select to put on the show from the listeners you know we get emails we get tweets and we
00:04:14
get it's a lot of hey guys would you look into this or hey guys would you cover this story this is a case I knew
00:04:20
about from my childhood or from my hometown and we've said this before the better the email the better the
00:04:27
information on the email the faster that thing gets to our shortlist and of course sometimes we get emails that say
00:04:34
hey I live in Chicago and some guy disappeared here in the 90s could you look into it no we can't I mean because
00:04:42
most likely there were several people that that happened to we don't know who you're
00:04:47
talking about all right right but if they give us a name or or its it always helps if they give you a name possibly a
00:04:54
link you know or possibly here's the name here's the you know here's a couple missing posters you know sometimes the
00:05:03
emails are very detailed oh yeah yeah no I love those links are great and the reason being is if you just give us a
00:05:10
victim's name if it's especially if it's a common name right you know at least name and location is great it really
00:05:18
helps us narrow it down but you know I was telling this person I said the the great thing about our listeners is that
00:05:25
they want to be involved and they are involved and they reach out to us and they're like hey cover this case and so
00:05:31
I told them I said you know they do some of the legwork in a sense for us because
00:05:36
we pick all of our cases from listener suggestions yeah and the funny thing is we've done so many shows that now we
00:05:44
receive suggestions for cases that we've already covered from time to time and I
00:05:49
never know how to reply well sometimes they're new listeners that they haven't listened to the old stuff and then the
00:05:57
other thing too is I didn't I didn't really think about this at the time when we were doing it but if you were a new
00:06:04
listener and you were just like flipping through our back catalogue and looking for stuff to listen to if we didn't
00:06:10
title something the offender's name or the victim's name right you know because sometimes we get kind of story bookish
00:06:17
and we will a clever name will present itself or we will come up with one from time to time and so if you're flipping
00:06:25
through the catalog and you see something like the fifth nail well that doesn't tell you the victims names or
00:06:30
the offender's name right but very lucky to receive those from all of our wonderful listeners and we I want except
00:06:39
for the people that send me JonBenet Ramsey and Steven Avery okay so is it because I think we've mentioned
00:06:47
well we've definitely mentioned multiple times that that the JonBenet Ramsey one
00:06:54
is this it's a mountain of the case right so and it's big covered by so many people so I
00:07:01
understand that you know and maybe that's something that we'll cover loosely one day I'm there actually
00:07:08
should be a bunch of popular cases that people ask us for that we should just cover on off the record because they
00:07:14
don't actually want to hear all the details mm-hmm you just really want to hear our
00:07:18
thoughts okay you know I mean like a lot of people are like yeah okay like this person last week was like saying cover
00:07:26
JonBenet Ramsey I said well there's tons of people that cover that I mean we're talking about the house and some and
00:07:33
some people have covered it very well yeah and some people not so well so we're talking about we're talking about
00:07:40
it would take us weeks to get that information so so it it probably have to be if we ever did cover it it'd have to
00:07:48
be there's so much misinformation of that case it'd have to be like when we had a week off mm-hmm so we'd have two
00:07:55
weeks to research it and then so then I also said well you know CBS did a really
00:08:01
good job of going over some of this evidence and kind of laying out some of the the thoughts there and she goes yeah
00:08:09
I just really want to hear your guys thoughts on it right and so maybe some of those cases we should just go hey
00:08:14
we're gonna go over the details but this is what our gut feeling is saying after
00:08:19
we've looked at that but that's that's an incredibly interesting idea and credit just to take just to go hey it's
00:08:25
better than whatever we're talking about right now well so here's the thing this is a good
00:08:31
question what would you say are the top two or three you know I'm not gonna hold
00:08:36
you to a specific number but what would because we receive these requests sometimes they email both of us
00:08:42
sometimes they email us separately and of course you do the social media stuff so people are reaching out to you that
00:08:49
way as well 100 messages behind on Instagram what what would you say would be the top two or three cases that get
00:08:57
recommended or requested to you um JonBenet Ramsey oh guys Steven Avery I already give those obviously Scott
00:09:08
Pearson okay those three lately which is weird because those three I very rarely receive a request for which
00:09:18
but but I think I've put out there that on something I mean I'm extremely fascinated by the
00:09:25
job and a Ramsey case extremely menacing scott pearson case i never was interested and i just thought he was a
00:09:33
horrible dick nose and and move on you know he's convicted and but lately you know i'm a big adam carolla fan i was
00:09:42
listening to adam carolla talk and Mark Geragos is Scott Pearson's attorney and he said definitively that his client
00:09:51
didn't do it and that he believes that when they get a chance they're gonna be able to prove that and I have a lot of
00:09:59
respect for Mark Geragos and so the fact that he said that I'm going what does he
00:10:03
know that is not being presented because there is a theory that there was some home break-ins you know in that area so
00:10:14
that possibly the perverts breaking into the houses would be responsible for his
00:10:19
wife and his daughter's death well and I can absolutely say this that's a case that we plan to cover at some point
00:10:28
problem
