1
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to my favorite murderer to mini sound.

2
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: It's just a little gal.

3
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: It's a secret little Whisper minisode.

4
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be fun. It'll be Ali smr this all time.

5
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: We promised. It's just me screaming. I'm first. Yeah. Okay,

6
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: this one's long, but it's fucking worth it. Okay, I'm

7
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: not going to read you the title. Hi, ladies. I

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: was listening to minisode four fifty and something about the

9
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: lovely Lithuanian woman's story made me think it was time

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: to write in. Do you remember that one where the

11
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: little girl like went on a day trip with the

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: drug dealing Lithuanian woe in a small town? Yeah, okay place.

13
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: It's not Maybury, but you can see it from here

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: time the banging on pots and pans stage of COVID.

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: Names changed to protect the innocent. We had just bought

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: the worst house in the nicest neighborhood and we were

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: in the process of a full remodel. It being COVID,

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: we decided to take our golden retriever on a long

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: walk by the creek in order to socially distance ourselves

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: from our plumber, John, who was working on the upstairs bathroom.

21
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: Since we live in a northern climate, the first nice

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: day of the year could be marched could be July.

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: Everybody throws open their windows and doors. We did just

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: that and set off. We had the loveliest time by

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: the creek and then headed home and entered on the

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: bottom floor to give John his space upstairs. Almost immediately

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: we heard childlike giggling above us. My husband quizzically looked

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 2: at me. I shrug and I said, I assumed John's

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: wife dropped off his daughter so she can run errands

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: or something. A little blonde haired, blue eyed cherub suddenly

31
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: appeared and started cooling and petting our dog. I, being

32
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: a team player, scooped her up and took her and

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: her new furry best friend outside to play. When we

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: had our fill of the sun, we came inside for

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: a and some cartoons, which led to a nice midday

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: nap on the couch. At this point, John was about

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: done with the bathroom, so he called for me to

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: take a look. I picked up his daughter and headed upstairs.

39
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: When we finished talking business, I asked John how old

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: his daughter was. He looked at me questioningly and told

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: me that that little girl I was holding. Wasn't his daughter?

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: What?

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: I threw my head back and laughed. Then, very emphatically,

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: he said to me, Cassie, she's blonde. John, Well he

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: isn't we on the other hand, Well we are, I replied,

46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: or shrieked. So who is she? John shrieked back. I

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: don't know. I assumed she was your niece.

48
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: John.

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: I'm about to call the cops, so you need to

50
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: tell me one last time that you're not kidding before

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: I make a false report. Cassie called nine one one.

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: I called nine one one, holding onto this innocent kidnapped

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: child for dear life.

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: As soon as the operator came on the line, I

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: verbal vomited. This is going to sound weird. I have

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: no idea how this happened. You see, I have a

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: little girl. And that that it was time for the

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: operator to shriek. What does she look like? I gave

60
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: her a description, and she yelled to whoever was in

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: the room with her. We found her. We found Jane. Oh,

62
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: they fucking kick kidnapped the little kid. She asked for

63
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: my address and told me she was sending an officer

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: to come get the little girl. Remember the place Maybury adjacent. Yeah,

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: nothing much happens around here. They didn't send a police officer.

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: They sent the three squad cars and the six cops

67
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: we have in town, and they followed all the protocols.

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: All exits were blocked on either side of our house.

69
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: The lights were flashing and cops were in our driveway

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: with their hands on their hips. I come out with

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: little Jane and hand her to the first officer. My

72
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: brand new neighbors were looking on, undoubtedly muttering virgoes the neighborhood.

73
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: Turns out, Jane toddled out of her backyard and ended

74
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: up at our house a couple blocks away. While her

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: grandmother turned her back for a split second, they were

76
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: searching for Jane in the opposite direction, in a different neighborhood.

77
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: The entire time we were playing with the dog, having

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: snacks and taking a nap.

79
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: So scary.

80
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: After I'd been interviewed by the cops, Jane's dad arrived

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: to reunite with his daughter. They thought she got fucking

82
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: kidnapped and she did.

83
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

84
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: To reunite with his daughter and walk her the couple

85
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: blocks home. Jane started crying. She didn't want to leave

86
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: her new furry best friend behind her Dad asked me

87
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: if I in our golden wouldn't mind walking them home,

88
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: So we did.

89
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Oh.

90
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: I hope, beyond all hope that Jane's grandmother forgives me

91
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: for the prolonged panic I caused her. And as Jane

92
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: grows up, I hope she continues her lifelong exploration of

93
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: the world, but only after she tells her family where

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: she's going. Stay sexy. And remember what your eighth grade

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: teacher taught you. Making assumptions makes an ass of you

96
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: and me, Cassie.

97
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: But Cassie, that's not fair, because, yeah, you didn't cause anything.

98
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: You are truly just the consummate host for people old

99
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: and young. Yeah, and basically for a child who probably

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: could have been traumatized or in a lot of strife,

101
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: you like kind of gave her a nice little day

102
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: and then gotta delivered back to her family. There was

103
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: no problem now.

104
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: And she also didn't throw the first stone like Grandma

105
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: lost track.

106
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Of her first Grandma turned that back. You know, that's

107
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: why my parents moved out of San Francisco's the exact

108
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: same thing happened with my mom and dad, and when

109
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: my sister was like two years old, she just walked

110
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: out the front yard and she basically walked into the

111
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: yard of the next door neighbor and started talking to

112
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: the old lady that lived next door. And meanwhile, my

113
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: parents are running all over the like they think my

114
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: sister has been stolen out of the front yard, and

115
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: they were like, we got to get out of San Francisco.

116
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: Oh man, you would have had such a cooler childhood

117
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: if your wife, if your sister hadn't fucking.

118
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: I'd still be smoking clothes right now. Damn it. Okay,

119
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: here's my first one. I'm not going to read you

120
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: this subject line that says, hello Karen, Georgia Pets and

121
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: the entire MFM crew. I'm actually the mayor of my.

122
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: Small what we have a mayor.

123
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: See I told you I didn't read these.

124
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: This is news to Karen.

125
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: We have a mayor. We have a mayor. I'm actually

126
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: capital m I'm actually the mayor of my small hometown

127
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: in Idaho and have always felt it was my duty

128
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: to represent my constituents with an epic hometown story. But

129
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: alas I live in real life Maybury from the Andy

130
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: Griffith Show. Yeah, but then I heard your requests for

131
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: stories where siblings almost killed each other, and I knew

132
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: I had my tale to tell. My dad grew up

133
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: in the same small town I live in now. He

134
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: was one of four brothers, all close in age. This

135
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: was Idaho in the sixties, when things were even more

136
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: lucy goosey than they are currently, and I grew up

137
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: hearing tales of the brothers fights and escapades, chasing wild

138
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: Mustangs in the desert of southern Idaho, racing cars. There's

139
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: even still a bullet lodged in the wall of my grandparents'

140
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: basement from an argument gone wrong. Yeah, my poor grandma

141
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: tried to discipline the wild boys by swinging her broom around,

142
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: but nothing really stuck. One day, my dad, who was

143
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: one of the younger boys, picked a fight with one

144
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: of his older siblings. I'm not sure what started it,

145
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: but I can tell you how it ended. My dad

146
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: stuck his tongue out at his brother and was shot

147
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: with a BB gun right in the tongue.

148
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: Oh oh fuck.

149
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: The bebe was lodged too deep to easily get it out,

150
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: and the boys were And the boys were too scared

151
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: of my broom wielding grandma to tell anyone no. So

152
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: my poor dad was sworn to secrecy and had to

153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: suffer through very painful dinners for a week or so

154
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: until his tongue grew over the bebe.

155
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: I am, I am, I'm speechless.

156
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Hold on because here's the next sentence. It's still in

157
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: his tongue to this day. What the fuck? He says.

158
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: He has a tongue piercing.

159
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: Right, exactly like a tongue tongue implant. He has no

00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: problem getting through our ports security, but it does really

161
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,320

00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: that we just got an email from the mayor of

192
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: a small town in Idaho, a woman, and I would

193
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: just like to also say I just saw TikTok about

194
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: how women need to start getting involved in politics on

195
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: the local level. That's the way to affect change. So

196
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: thank you, Rebecca, because you're doing it.

197
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: Thank you. Fuck. I'm just tickled by that that we

198
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: have a mayor.

199
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: It's so cool. Yeah, someday we'll find out what the

200
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: town is. Yeah.

201
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: Maybe she should be the mayor of my favorite murder too.

202
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, get in here.

203
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: Okay. This is also a sibling trying to kill siblings. Okay, greg,

204
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: my sister tried to kill me, Hi, Karen, Georgia and

205
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: Whiskered associate. It's including Stephen.

206
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: Kay.

207
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: So I'm the youngest of three girls. There's five and

208
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: eight years between them and me. When I was about

209
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: nine or ten, my eldest sister had a ferret that

210
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: she wouldn't let me play with, so of course I

211
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: would sneak in her room when she wasn't home to

212
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: look at the smelly creature.

213
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's so greedy. It's like the ferret has

214
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: nothing but love to give, and you're just gonna be like, No,

215
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: your sister can't see it or touch it.

216
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, leave it alone. It's in the cage by itself,

217
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: so leave it alone. So mean depressed in the cage.

218
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: Okay.

219
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: One day after school, it appeared to me as if

220
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: I beat my sister home, so I took the opportunity

221
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: to go see the ferret. Little did I know, my

222
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 2: sisters had removed the giant vent cover in her floor

223
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: in front of the cage and replaced it with a

224
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 2: carpet covered with clothes like wiley coyote. Like a wiley coyote.

225
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: Acme trap. They set a fucking trap for their sister. Dude.

226
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: They utilized the pre existing hole in the floor. That's right,

227
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: the heating vent.

228
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: Brilliant. Oh, I can guess what happened next. Yep. When

229
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: I stepped in front of the cage, I fell through

230
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: the hole and plummeted all the way down to the

231
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: all caps basement. Holy shit, bouncing off a shelf in

232
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: the process. She could have fucking cracked her head.

233
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: O it have absolutely died just for wanting the love

234
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: of a ferret.

235
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: I mean she didn't, and so that's hilarious. Thankfully, I

236
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: landed on a pile of clothes they had placed beneath

237
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: the trap, so at least they like you know, they

238
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 2: were total assholes.

239
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: They planned ahead, They planned a head.

240
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yes, I wasn't hurt except for my pride

241
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: and having the breath knocked out of me. My ass

242
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: She could have got a fucking concussion, like a full

243
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: story or did you say into the basement, yes, from

244
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: one story to the basement.

245
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, just so dangerous, so dangerous.

246
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: My asshole sisters were hiding the basement, laughing that their

247
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: plan had worked. My mom didn't find it so funny.

248
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: Oh no, I've since introduced one of my sisters to

249
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: your show and she is now a murdering now. So Jamie,

Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh and it was amazing. And the person in

256

Speaker 1: with your ferret. Yeah, how about that.

266
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to the beginning.

267
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: How about there's plenty to go around with that ferret.

268
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's so good. People get this, people get

269
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: after ten years, people are really getting the point of

270
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: the minisode.

271
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, good job.

272
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: And you know what, Jamie, good Jeff.

273
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: You too. Yeah, thank you Jamie for the story.

274
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to do asshole things to get good

275
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: emails for the future. So okay. The subject line of

276
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: this email is you didn't ask for this, but you're

277
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: getting it anyway. And it just starts. I recently got

278
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: my dream job as a librarian in a small private school.

279
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: I get to read with kids and help them grow

280
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: into competent, confident adults unlike myself. And then Bread the

281
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: season says JK. I'm usually pretty competent, it says. Today

282
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: was the first day of school, and I wanted to

283
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: make a good first impression, so I decided I would

284
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: show up fifteen minutes before school started. I've never worked

285
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: in a school before, and no one told me that

286
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: teachers and everybody show up way earlier than that.

287
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: I think I knew that, and I have never worked

288
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 2: in it. Like, no, I have worked in a school

289
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: as a lunch lady. Oh, and I knew that.

290
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: But you had to get there around lunchish eleven thirty.

291
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: Well it was breakfast in lunch. Can tell it.

292
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: Did you wear hair net? No? But I wear gloves,

293
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: like little plastic gloves. Good good, Okay, okay. So it

294
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: says I pull into the parking lot. I am then

295
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: shepherded against my will into the drop off line. This

296
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: was a long ass line and I really couldn't cut

297
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: out across the parking lot and risk running over any

298
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: of my new students. I realized I would have to

299
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: stay in the drop off line and drive past nearly

300
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: every single one of my new colleagues is they were

301
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: standing outside to greet the students.

302
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: Why didn't any someone should have said something.

303
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever been in a drop off line?

304
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: Thank god no?

305
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: Because I had to go pick up Nora at our

306
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: old grammar school one day and there was a whole

307
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: My suster like had to explain it to me, and

00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: she's like, and you have to get there on time,

309
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: you have to care in And I was like, okay,

310
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: as if that's possible, but yeah, people get there early

311
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: and then you're just locked into a same lane that

312
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: they have blocked off on streets and everybody it's like

313
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: this pre agreed thing where like no one else goes

314
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: down those streets and they and you.

315
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: Know one Hanks, no, you just fucking I have never

316
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: been in a drop off line, but I have a

317
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: fear of them still. Yeah, like I understand that they

318
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: are just like terrifying to everyone.

319
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: They become their own weird machine, and you have to

320
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: know how the machine works. So if you're the artsy

321
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: ant from outside, you better fucking you better watch you

322
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: you watch your watch.

323
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, go ahead.

324
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's so great too. I'm just thinking because

325
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: I my sister just started school again too. So it's

326
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: like day three of basically her teaching kindergarteners how to

327
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: go to school. And she's like, it's so hilarious. It's

328
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: just like every year it starts over and you're like,

329
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: how do we do any of this? How do public

330
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: schools function? It's insane? So okay, so she says, so here,

331
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: I am more than twenty minutes late by the time

332
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: I pull up in front of the school and stuck

333
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: in this long ass line. I slowly inched past each

334
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: one of the teachers and eventually the assistant principal and

335
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: the principal, who are literally doubled over in laughter. Oh good, yeah,

336
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: thank god. I was later politely informed that I should

337
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: have arrived much earlier, which I had, of course already

338
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: realized by then. I made a dozen more embarrassing mistakes today.

339
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Oh this was a day of email.

340
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: Wow.

341
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: Yes, reporting hot off the presses. I made a dozen

342
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: more embarrassing mistakes today, but I learned a lot and

343
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow will be better. The students were great. I was

344
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: counting down the days until a kid told me something wild,

345
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: and it happened in my very first class. In parentheses,

346
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: it says a very happy and excited girl.

347
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: Guess what.

348
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: My grandpa got sick and he's in the hospital and

349
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: he died. Guess what.

350
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: Guess what.

00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,120

Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice.

362
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: Okay. My last one is called the Flamingo Ghost question mark. Hello,

363
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: amazing ladies, pets and people. I am anxious, so let's

364
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: just get into it. I was listening to a miniesod

365
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: recently and you had asked about meant to be stories.

366
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: So here is mine. After a breakup and living on

367
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: my own for almost ten years, I moved back to

368
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: my parents' house. I am so thankful for my amazing parents.

369
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: They are truly two of the most selfless, wonderful people

370
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: out there. Brag, Yeah, I know, lucky lucky sounds great.

371
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: They made it easy for an almost thirty year old

372
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: to live at home. After a year of living at home,

373
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: I was ready to start dating again. I'm on the apps,

374
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: just letting whatever come my way. I start messaging with

375
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: this guy, James. He was so nice and quick to

376
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: ask me on a date, which I've actually that's a positive,

377
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: right is Like I thinks talk for fucking three weeks exactly.

378
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: Last me out. Yeah, don't waste my fucking time. Essentially, Yeah,

379
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: first thing he says on the date is he forgot

380
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: his first cousin is from my hometown. I ask him

381
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: their name. It was one of my close friends in

382
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: high school and our families are still friendly and see

383
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: each other. That just put me at ease knowing he

384
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: wasn't a complete stranger and I'm safe on this date.

385
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: The day goes amazingly. We talked the entire time, and

386
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: I really hope we go out again. I could go

387
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: on about how great he is, but I will try

388
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: to keep this short. Initially, I was like, they're gonna

389
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: be related. I bet, yeah, they're not.

390
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: Spoiler. We fall in love and then we get.

391
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: The blood tests we're also cousins. When I get home,

392
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: I told my parents about the day and how he

393
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: was my old friend's cousin. We had actually met once

394
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: at a birthday party. My mom puts the pieces together

395
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: and realize she has something of his late mother's. She

396
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: goes on to explain that after James's mother had passed

397
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: the year before due to her long battle with cancer

398
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 2: and cancer related illnesses, her family was giving some of

399
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: her belongings to loved ones. One of the items given

400
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: to James's aunt his mom's sister was a flamingo figurine.

401
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: Auntie has many things of her sisters and feels like

402
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: the flamingo figurine deserves a home someone who will love it.

403
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 2: That home being my mother's. Everyone that knows my mother

404
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: knows she loves flamingoes. Aren't flamingos a sign of swingers?

405
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: Or that pineapple pineapple I've heard? And I think it's

406
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: like an upside down pineapple, right, something like that, because

407
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: you know my welcome mat in my front door has

408
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 1: a pineapple on it.

409
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: Karen, that's like inviting a swingers. When people then cruises,

410
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: they put a fucking like a picture or a thing

411
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: of a pineapple on their door. To what everyone knows,

412
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: I didn't knock.

413
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. That's why my doorbells going off

414
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: night and day.

415
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: That's it. Oh my god. Okay, Marie miss at a

416
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: bridal shower for a mutual friend that my mother and

417
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 2: I attended, James's aunt gives my mother this flamingo. She

418
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: loves it. She puts it in her bathroom. I never

419
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: tell James this because in my head it's just sounds weird. Hey,

420
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: I know we just went on a first date, but

421
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 2: my mom was given something that belonged to your deceased mom.

422
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: Hope we can hang out again.

423
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't bring that up.

424
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: I'll keep that to myself for a while. A few

425
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: months down the road and we're dating and it's time

426
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: for James to meet my parents over to our home

427
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: and things are going very well. After using the bathroom,

428
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 2: he comes out laughing and says to my family, that

429
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: is so strange. I bought my mama flamingo that looks

430
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: just like that one jaws drop. Oh shit. Not only

431
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: was that flamingo his mom's, he bought it for her.

432
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: Oh my God, meant to be, we think.

433
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: So.

434
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 2: Cut to three years later, James and I are now

435
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: engaged and are getting married in November twenty twenty six.

436
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 2: Our families always say that his mom, Joanne saw me

437
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: and picked me out for her son. I truly wish

438
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: I could have met Joanne. I know she was spunky,

439
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: had a huge heart, and was an extremely strong woman,

440
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: and I am honored that she chose me for her son.

441
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see you at your late show

442
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: in Boston. Thank you for fostering everyone's love of true

445
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: God Angelica that is Wait, so James now knows. When

446
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: did they tell James?

447
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: I think when he came out of the bathroom, they

448
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: were like, oh, yeah, your mom had one exactly like that,

449
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: because that belongs because it's hers.

452
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: lady that's shaped like a bell. Like that's the kind

453
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: of thing where it's like it seems small and no

454
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: big deal, but it truly is like, oh my god,

Speaker 1: this beautiful connection.

456
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: Everything means something. Yeah, that's where nothing means anything sometimes.

457
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: I mean I think it changes, it switches back and forth,

458
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280

Speaker 1: three kegs of beer are floated by three pm, when

466
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: all the good kids go to church half drunk, and

467
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: I go take a nap and then continue to party

468
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: at my uncle's house. Needless, I was tired. I'm almost

Speaker 1: to the interstate and my tire goes from full to

470
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: flat in the blink of an eye. Thankfully, I was

471
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: able to roll into a gas station and call an

472
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: uncle to come and help. My uncle's on the way,

473
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: and I start trying to get the spare out from

474
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: under my truck. It's not going well, and overwalks a cowboy.

475
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm in my early twenties and exercise my new found

476
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: ability from living in a major city for two years

477
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: to say no, thank you, sir. I'm just fine on

478
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: my own and my uncle's on his way and shut

479
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: mister cowboy down. Cool, independent, failing at getting this tire out,

480
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: but still trying. Then comes a boy scout. Once again,

481
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: this independent, big city woman shuts him down and sends

482
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: him away a boy scout. Then I kid you not

483
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: a priest caller, and all comes over to ask if

484
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: I was okay?

485
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: Isn't all the same person just like ating outfits.

486
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: Just going behind the gas station coming back out. At

487
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: this point, I'm just laughing. This feels like I'm in

488
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: the middle of a joke where a cowboy, a boy scout,

489
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: and a priest walking gas station and try to help

490
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: this stupid, stubborn woman. My uncle showed up about then

491
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: and change my tire, and I went off smiling that. Yes,

492
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: sometimes life is a joke, but sometimes life reminds you

493
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: that there is goodness in the world no matter how

494
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: hard you try to shut it out. Stay sexy and

495
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: try to see the good in the world. Megan she

Speaker 1: her ps. I might have gotten the order wrong, but

497
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: the characters are accurate. A cowboy, a boy scout, and

498
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: a priest.

499
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 2: That's adorable. I would have let the cowboy help me.

500
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: Hell, yes, right, yes, let the cowboy help you. Then
