Speaker 1: We're going to talk to somebody who just has a
Speaker 1: comment to make. And I thought it was really interesting,
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, can we put you on the
Speaker 1: air to talk about this? So we've got somebody who
Speaker 1: wants to talk Paxton, who's got something everybody in the
Speaker 1: world was talking about this weekend. There was the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: there was the Olympics, and then we're still talking about
Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie and Savannah Guthrie's mother, no sign of anything,
Speaker 1: and now they're basically pleading with the kidnappers to say
Speaker 1: can you return her? And they've got, from what I
Speaker 1: can tell, no leads. There's no anything that's making them
Speaker 1: think that it was I think they're going back to
Speaker 1: reinvestigate one of the family members. But it's one of
Speaker 1: those things that kind of makes you think a little bit, Paxton,
Speaker 1: what did you want to bring up about it?
Speaker 2: So I don't know, and I don't really I don't
Speaker 2: know why this is just kind of bothering me. But
Speaker 2: I don't understand why this particular disappearance has been getting
Speaker 2: so much more attention than just regular disappearances. Like I
Speaker 2: do understand that this is awful, and she's what like
Speaker 2: eighty four or something, and it's this is super unusual
Speaker 2: and everything. But I don't know, I just feel like
Speaker 2: we are spending a lot more resources on this particular
Speaker 2: disappearance when things like this happen all the time.
Speaker 1: No, I think a lot of people have thought that too,
Speaker 1: And I think it is because, I mean, Savannah Guthrie
Speaker 1: is you know, famous celebrity, and she's rich and famous.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's like more resources than if somebody else,
Speaker 1: like a normal, average person disappeared.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we totally think about that. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: at the same time, I will say she's eighty four
Speaker 1: and not that somebody who's like, you know, twenty four,
Speaker 1: is like, well, they're healthy, they can handle it. It's
Speaker 1: not that I can't quite put my finger on it,
Speaker 1: but it is just a different level of tragic and
Speaker 1: awful that she's eighty four and probably dead without her medications.
Speaker 4: Well, I will also say nothing dark. Last week, little
Speaker 4: John the rapper, his son went missing, and I hadn't
Speaker 4: heard about it for a while.
Speaker 1: I didn't cover that in this in the dirt. Actually, well, yeah.
Speaker 4: But it's not on the Today Show. We're not talking
Speaker 4: about on the news. Yeah, I know, we've talked about it,
Speaker 4: but I just barely heard about it. And then his
Speaker 4: son came up dead, found missing in a pond, and
Speaker 4: that hasn't made mainstream coverage. Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they found out I think over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel she's exactly what I'm talking about, even though
Speaker 2: he is rich and famous as well, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, because yeah, you would think, oh, it's
Speaker 3: because she's rich and famous. There's a different a different
Speaker 3: story where he is rich and famous but didn't get
Speaker 3: the same coverage.
Speaker 1: Well you think go missing every day? Do you think
Speaker 1: it's a little bit because of how different this was.
Speaker 1: We hear about missing people often enough that we go
Speaker 1: hmmm uh huh, Yeah, that's terrible, which is sad, which
Speaker 1: is which is of course. But then when you hear
Speaker 1: about an eighty four year old woman disappearing that's going
Speaker 1: to die without her medication, it probably is dead already.
Speaker 1: Who we said this all last week? Who does that?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: So what the public pays attention to, maybe that's what
Speaker 1: law enforcement pays attention to.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's also because it's kind of spooky,
Speaker 3: Like the story is spooky because we don't know like
Speaker 3: what happened that there's like blood, but we don't see
Speaker 3: like the ring cameras were shut off, and then we
Speaker 3: don't hear anything except for this like weird little ransom
Speaker 3: note thing. And I think that's like gives it an
Speaker 3: addition of like spookiness, which I hate to say, but
Speaker 3: it is kind of like an entertainment value to like
Speaker 3: the masses where they're like, Ooh, this one's different. She's
Speaker 3: eighty four and she doesn't have her medications.
Speaker 2: Agree with you, but I think I agree with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And that's so I feel like that's another
Speaker 3: reason why people care about this one more, you know,
Speaker 3: because it is kind of spooky.
Speaker 1: It is a little it is spooky, and I think
Speaker 1: that because she was like an old lady should be
Speaker 1: safe in her home playing you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: don't crossword puzzles and seduku and solitaire text messages. Packson says,
Speaker 1: why is Savanah Guthrie getting so much coverage when there's
Speaker 1: so many other people, like average people? Yeah, I read
Speaker 1: somewhere of like people in Arizona, Like in the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks alone, there've been like a seventeen year
Speaker 1: old that's disappeared, and a twenty four year old has disappeared.
Speaker 1: At the time, text message says at KATWB one, I
Speaker 1: absolutely could not agree more with Paxton on this one.
Speaker 1: Another one says, I think I think the son in
Speaker 1: law had something to do with it. They looked at
Speaker 1: him and then they ruled him out, but then they
Speaker 1: don't have any other leads, so they went back to
Speaker 1: the son in law. Another one says, it's Savannah's employer
Speaker 1: that's talking about it so much. She's a celebrity, but
Speaker 1: she works for NBC, so she is lucky to have
Speaker 1: that as her employer.
Speaker 4: I guess the news thing is true, But like I said,
Speaker 4: Lil John is a celebrity. I'm sure there's other celebrity.
Speaker 4: I don't know that, but other celebrities who have had
Speaker 4: little situations like this, and we haven't had as much
Speaker 4: national coverage, especially when respectfully, there hasn't been that many developments. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, we keep people like here's an update, but there.
Speaker 3: Is no update, right, So well, I think there has been.
Speaker 3: And she said they're not actually giving us all those
Speaker 3: details for the safety aspect, and like probably making sure
Speaker 3: that they don't reveal too much.
Speaker 4: They don't have any other suspects though, So.
Speaker 3: This text says, I think it's getting the coverage it's
Speaker 3: getting because of the ransom. And that's why it's odd
Speaker 3: because of because not all disappearances have a ransom with it.
Speaker 1: True, because this is more like a kidnapping, because like
Speaker 1: if you know, like your usual eighteen year old or
Speaker 1: twenty two year old disappears, it's an abduction, not a kidnapping,
Speaker 1: because you don't really hear about kidnappings anymore. Most of
Speaker 1: them they don't have any intention of giving anybody back.
Speaker 1: What's the difference once one's a ransom and one does not.
Speaker 1: So example, if somebody like I don't know, abducts their
Speaker 1: child or abducts their acts or whatever, they want to
Speaker 1: keep them. Like that dude in what was it in
Speaker 1: Wisconsin five or eight years ago that took that fourteen
Speaker 1: year old eighteen year old girl, hit her under his
Speaker 1: bed for eighty one days. There's a podcast called eighty
Speaker 1: one days, you know what I'm talking about. No, he
Speaker 1: didn't have any intention that he didn't have any intention
Speaker 1: of giving her back. That's an abduction. But this was
Speaker 1: like I'm keeping But that's why you don't hear about
Speaker 1: kidnappings anymore because with so much high tech and cameras everywhere.
Speaker 1: Let's say if I kidnapped Bailey and I wanted ransom
Speaker 1: of like, you know, five dollars. Yeah, that's a lot,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, well, I'm gonna drop her off
Speaker 1: at mom or Ronda's house in exchange for five dollars.
Speaker 1: Guess what the cops are going to be waiting there
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, exactly. It's not gonna work.
Speaker 3: Back in the day, it would be less easy to do,
Speaker 3: like LESSI to attract you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah right.
Speaker 1: Hey, Paxton, thanks for bringing it up. It's definitely a worthy,
Speaker 1: a worthy thing to bring up.
Speaker 2: Sure, thanks so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you bet, all right,
