1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: You're listening to an air wave media podcast. Hi, and 2 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: welcome back to Hooded What Now? The history podcast with 3 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: your egregious host Kerry Charlwood, gift giver and reader with books. 4 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: So if you hear the sound of knocking on the door, 5 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: it's just a cat. And so Valentine's Day is coming up, 6 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: and I thought, what says romance more than somebody who 7 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: steals money from women, murders them and drains their bloods Okay, 8 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: so let me just have a little look here. So 9 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: today I thought, let's talk about the Laciche, the Vampa 10 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: of Sunkota. Now I did talk about this briefly on 11 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: TikTok and and I pronounced his name is kiss instead 12 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: of Keish because I'm an idiot who sometimes does not 13 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: pronounce things correctly. And I was quickly corrected twice. Good 14 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: good for you. I was quickly corrected twice regarding my 15 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: mispronunciation of Keish. But it looks like kiss and English, 16 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: so and I thought, well, that's actually pretty funny because 17 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: it's kiss. But also nobody learned to kiss and tell. 18 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm sure I had a pun in 19 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: there somewhere. So my sources are the Encyclopedia of serial 20 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: Killers Brian Lane and Wilwood greg from nineteen ninety two, 21 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 1: world famous murders Colin Wilson, Damon Wilson, Rowan Wilson, lots 22 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: of Wilson's on nineteen ninety three, and Murderpedia and a 23 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: word Press. Sinkota, Hungary, Europe, between East and West Bella 24 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: Caiche is known as the Vampire of Sinkota and the 25 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: Monster of Sinkota because he was a serial killer. So 26 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: how do I tell you about Bella Caish. Here's the thing. 27 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: The beginning. His origins are a little bit fuzzy because 28 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, nobody really pays attention to somebody until after 29 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: they start doing crimes, so people weren't really keeping too 30 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: much of a record of what was going on beforehand. 31 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: But this is the best we got. So Bellakish was 32 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: born in eighteen seventy seven. Where he came from nobody knows. 33 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: We don't really know much about his life before nineteen twelve, 34 00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: but in nineteen twelve he moves to Sinkota, which is 35 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: part of Budapest, with his young wife. In eighteen seventy 36 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: seven to nineteen twelve is forty thirty five thirty thirty 37 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: five thirty five, So he's about eh. Beila is born 38 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: in eighteen seventy seven and he is tall, blonde, handsome. 39 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: He has striking blue eyes and a glorious mustache by 40 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: all accounts. And this man had a trade. He was 41 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: a tinsmith, which does exactly what it says in the ten. 42 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: He smith's ten and other light metals. So we had 43 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: this trade. But but he is also reported as being 44 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: as a voracious reader, and you know what that means. 45 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: That's like that guy you know who's red capturing the 46 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: rye for fun, even though it's fucking boring and we 47 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: all know it's boring. But anyway, so he could talk 48 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: to anybody, so he would. He could charm the higher 49 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: the elites in the upper circles with conversations on literature, 50 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: art and history, even though he had like no formal schooling. 51 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, he could basically gab with the best of them. 52 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: You know, he could basically talk about anything gap with 53 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: the best of them, you know, on with you know, 54 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the intelligence and the edge you get to them, the 55 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: leading them. You know. You know what here reminds me 56 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: of you know those guys, those those people who own 57 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: the complete works of Shakespeare. Like they don't just own 58 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: the books separately or the plays separately, or like small selections. 59 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: It's like those big, motherfucking huge bricks of books. Nobody 60 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: reads those, there is nobody reads those. I love reading, 61 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: I do. I love book as much as the next person, 62 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: But have you ever tried to physically hold one of 63 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: those books open. It's like, there's a reason that the 64 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings you buy it in the three 65 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: separate volumes, or the Chronicles of Narnia are granted, they're 66 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: all like blah blah blah, but the one is there's 67 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: a reason that, like in general, when they release like 68 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: collections of books, they only really do like three at 69 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: a time because it's too heavy to hold in your hands. 70 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: So when somebody buys those fucking coffee table books, they're 71 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: doing it just to be a pretentious shit. And Bella 72 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: Caish is a fucking pretentious shit, you goddamn tart. Anyway, m. 73 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 2: Clearly I have some deep seated issues with Beila Caish 74 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 2: now anyway, So by the early nineteen hundreds, about February 75 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: nineteen twelve, Bailla Cash moves into a house in nine 76 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 2: Cossath streaked coutieth and nine goutcheth streetsuthkushy, kushoth cushthh. 77 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume that it's either koshuth or kots youth, 78 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: and I've I've probably stopped pronounce that wrong. Anyway, it's 79 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: he moves into a street in the outskirts of sin Kota, 80 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: which is on the outskirts of Budapest in Hungary. There 81 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: we go. When he moves, he moves with his young wife. 82 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: So he's about thirty five, so she's fifteen years younger, 83 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: so she's twenty. And you know, we don't know what 84 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: that marriage was like, but in general I find that 85 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: marriages of the past with men with incredibly terrifying mustaches 86 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: probably weren't the most enlightening of situations. Well, all I 87 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: know is clearly this marriage was not going well because Marie, 88 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: his young wife, was having an affair, was having an 89 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: affair with Paul Bikery. Well I say she was having affair, 90 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: We only have Keisha's word that she was having an 91 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: affair with Paul. By December of nineteen twelve, Marie has 92 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: disappeared and then a crazy random happenstance, so has Paul 93 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: her So called lover. Now, I wouldn't blame her. Clearly 94 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: that mustache wasn't doing anything for Bayla's there. He's telling 95 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: all his neighbors, Ah, she left me with him. They 96 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: fled to the Americas. She clearly did not appreciate this mustache. 97 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: But it's okay. She clearly wanted something else, and he 98 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: was like, he basically gave off the impression that he 99 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: pitied her for leaving him, and did I get it? 100 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: But also, you know when someone's just that bit too 101 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: eager to explain away a situation. But so not long 102 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: after his wife's disappearance, he starts collecting these metal drums. Yeah, 103 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: and you know, you know, people in the neighborhood, they're like, 104 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: why the fuck does he have so many metal drums? 105 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: He says that he's collecting gasoline and oil because you know, 106 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: there's there's rumblings of a war coming, and so some 107 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: people are like, okay, cool, he's just really prepared, and 108 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: other people think he's just making his own hoitch and 109 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: that's why he's keeping it in the metal drums. He's like, 110 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: ayes probably making his own booze. That's that seems fair, 111 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: you know. And also during this time, a few women 112 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: are reported missing in Budapest. The only clues the police 113 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: have are they were going to meet a man called Hoffman. 114 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: But you know, I couldn't find this person. He just 115 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: disappeared overly prepared or you know, making his own booze. 116 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: And you know which either way during the war, you 117 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: either want to have booze or you want to have gasoline. 118 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's fair enough. But they also they are 119 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: they seem as a friendly dude. He's nice, he's polite, 120 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: he's hard working. He throws parties at a local hotel 121 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: for the village so they can all come and party 122 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: and hang out and have a swell time and just 123 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: revel in this wonderful fellow's generosity. He's so kind, he's 124 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: so considerate. He's you're that lovely neighbor. He has a 125 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: masterful mustache. So he's seen as the town's most eligible bachelor. 126 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: You know, whether he gets a divorce or not, nobody 127 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: really knows. But they used to assume, you know, abandonment whatever. 128 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: So Keith, you know, doesn't have a woman around the 129 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: house anymore because you know, as far as everyone is concerned, 130 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: she's fucked off to the continent. The other continent, a 131 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: different continent with his uh with her her boyfriend. So 132 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: he's all alone, you know, at a home needs a 133 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: woman's touch, obviously, because it's the early nineteen hundreds AnyWho. 134 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: So he hires an elderly woman called missus Jacobec as 135 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: a housekeeper to basically do all domestic juries, to get 136 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: the dusting done, to wash his dirty linen's, make his food. 137 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, general shit like that. So yeah, missus Jacobec, 138 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: she does all of the domestic juries that you know 139 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: a wife would normally do. Again, because it's the nineteen 140 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: hundreds anyway, the eligible bachelor becomes the gossip of the 141 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: town and he's a lady's man, man's man, man about town, 142 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: and you know, all of these women are coming. There's 143 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: like a conveyor belt of women just going through Bellakaisha's house. 144 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: And his housekeeper she's like, I'm just going to keep 145 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: myself to myself. It's nothing to do with me. You know, 146 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: he's my boss, regardless of whether I approve or not 147 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: of this behavior. It's nothing to do with me. Whatever. 148 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: Fair enough you do you, honey, So you know, the 149 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: gospel the town goes. They're like the curtain twitchers. The 150 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: curtain twitchers. They are aware. It's like a constant stream 151 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: of women. They don't really stay very long. You never 152 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: see the same woman twice, you know, that sort of way. 153 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: And here's the thing. He never introduced anyone to these women, 154 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: like even as housekeeper, Like I mean, she was kind 155 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: of like doing her own thing anyway, but like she 156 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: never knew the names of anybody who came into that house. 157 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: And so this happens. You know, this goes on for 158 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: a couple of years. Nineteen fourteen comes along and it's 159 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: the outbreak of World War One. Yeah, so Austria Hungary, 160 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: they were on the side of the Allies in World 161 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: War One. So Keisha's conscripted and he leaves his house 162 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: in the care of missus, missus jacobc one of it's 163 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: yakobc honor of it's is it Jacobec or is it Yakobec? 164 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: Maybe I've pronouncing her name wrong this entire time. So 165 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: nineteen sixteen rules around and reports come back to Sinkoda. 166 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: Incorrect reports come back to and go to that Belakeish 167 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: has been you know, killed in action, and the landlord 168 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: or so they say, the landlord probably thought two years 169 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: this is long enough. I need to get some money. 170 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: So he goes down, you know, he's like, I need 171 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: to get the place ready, make sure, you know, make 172 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 1: sure it's all clean and stuff, and I'll get a 173 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: lieutenant and you know, no harm, no will. There was 174 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: like one account which said the soldiers were like marching 175 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: through and we're looking for supplies for the war. Some 176 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: people in the village were like, hey, that bella kish 177 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: stood yead I had some you know, gasoline stockpiled that 178 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: we thought was hooch.

So he 182 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: goes in, takes a wee look, you know. Some say 183 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: he had a clean clue crew, some saves on his own. 184 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: We don't know this exact bit of it information, you know, 185 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: and he wants to go, you know, see what repairs 186 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: need done in case like the house has fallen into 187 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: disrepair or other sort of stuff's gone wrong. And so 188 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: he gets to the property and outside the property there's 189 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: like he sees like a good few large metal drums, 190 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: and he's like okay. So he's like, I wonder if 191 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: it's oh, never is gasoline, because he's thinking, oh, great, 192 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: I can make you know, some money off of that. 193 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: Curiosity gets the better of him and he's like, ah, 194 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: i'm a I'm as roping Pandora's box here. So he 195 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: punctures one of the drums and he is overwhelmed by 196 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: this repugnant smell and it was just nauseating and disgusting, 197 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: and he's like, right, okay, And you know, there's a 198 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: chemist that live next door. So the chemist comes over 199 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: and he's like, mate, what the fuck is this smell? 200 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: And the chemist is like, dude, this is not verbeat him. 201 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing. He's like, dude, ah, that is the unmistakable 202 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: stench of death. So Landlord Uh naturally freaks out and 203 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: phones the detective chief of the Burdapest Police, doctor Charles 204 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: Nagge Nagi Nage.

Anyway. So doctor Charles Nag, the detective 210 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: chief of the Buripest Police, he gets the call from 211 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: the landlord in Skoda. He's like, think there may have 212 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: been a murder. He says, the house is rented out 213 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: to this soldier and and the lace has lapsed, but 214 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: he may also be like a prisoner of war or 215 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: dead or whatever. So I went having a wee look 216 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: and for the stuff, and I really and he begged, 217 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: you know, and he's like, can you please investigate us 218 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: because I cannot go back into this property until this 219 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: is figured. The fuck out Sonig basically grabs two of 220 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: his best detectives and fucking and you know, needs for 221 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: speeds down to the town and that, you know. So 222 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: they get there and the landlord's like, thank god here, 223 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: he's very excited. He greets them, and missus Yakobit, the housekeeper, 224 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: is less than pleased, and she straight up shouts. She 225 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: straight up shouts at the at the at the at 226 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: the policeman because she's like, she promised to safeguard like 227 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: all his stuff and you know, protect the house and 228 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: she's like, you should you should leave my master's property alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 229 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: So now has one of the metal drums opened, and 230 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: it confirms the you know, the suspicions that the awful 231 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: smell of human decomposition was in fact human decomposition. So 232 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: they open up the drum and hit with that just 233 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: cloud of stench, and then they face a sack and 234 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: the preserved body of a young woman, long dark brown hair, 235 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: the rope that she had been strangled with, and she 236 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: had been perfectly preserved by this weird alcohol pickling mix. 237 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: So naturally they're suspicious of missus Jakobit and they question 238 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: her about the metal canisters, about the big metal drums, 239 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: and she said, you know, people were talking about them, 240 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: you know that people had been talking and they thought 241 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: that he was like, yeah, it's homemade hooch in there, 242 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: some illegal booze. But like the town constable had come 243 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: to chat Doom, and he told the constable that it 244 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: was that he was just stocking up on gasoline for 245 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: the war. So a mertician is called in because they 246 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: have to, you know, collect the bodies of the victims. 247 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: So there's seven that are just out and about and 248 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: each one has a perfectly preserved naked women in them. Anyway, 249 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: in Dedictive nig he's like, Okay, we're gonna be like 250 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: super thorough. And he's like, we're gonna be thorough. So 251 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: they start digging up the grounds around the house and 252 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: they find seventeen more drums, and sixteen have a perfectly 253 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: preserved body of a naked of a woman who is nude, 254 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: and one man Paul, And every single one of these 255 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: victims had been strangled, so these bodies were so well 256 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: preserved that they were still easy that they were easily wrecking, 257 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: and the actually thought it was going to be quite 258 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: and so it wasn't actually going to be that tough 259 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: to identify them even by like nineteen fourteen sixteen standards. 260 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: Immediately and Like is hitting the ground running.

So the military 263 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: is out looking for Bay Lakeish, but it's kind of 264 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: tough because Keish is a really popular surname and Beyla 265 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: is a really popular forename, so he's actually pretty hard 266 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: to track down in general. So I also there's a 267 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: war going on. So it's very complicated. But anyway, So 268 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: and next thing, you know, he interrogates missus Yuki bit 269 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: because they think, oh, well, maybe he's gotten accomplice, maybe 270 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: she's been helping them, that's why she was so mad 271 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: at us.

The only hard 328 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: thing it became really really clear to them that Bilakeish 329 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: was basically committing fraud. He was just stealing money from 330 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: these women on the promise of marriage and basically taking it, 331 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: like their savings, their financial resources, all that kind of jazz. 332 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: And these letters, some of them actually went back to 333 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: nineteen oh three, so before he actually got married himself. 334 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: Not only that, but and as they're looking around this office, 335 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, they take a look at you know, what 336 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: are these books that are on the bookshelves, and they're 337 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: like poisons. They probably like poisons and string and methods 338 00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: of strangulation and more poisons like oh okay, okay, and 339 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: you know it's it's just hmmmmmm. The head of police 340 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: is like, how, like how how was he doing this 341 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: for so long and not getting caught. So again he 342 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: goes back to missus Jakabit interviewer, well, interrogate her. So 343 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: again she's like me, I'm a simple woman, and she's like, 344 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: please don't send me to prison. He talks about how 345 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: nice he was. There was a dog, you know that 346 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: he was so kind of considerate. There was like a 347 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: dog that broke his leg and she made us he 348 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: made a splint for the dog. Couldn't kill it. He 349 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: couldn't have killed these women when when mate, he he 350 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: clearly killed these women. And as it turns out that 351 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: Keish actually left his housekeeper like a decent amount of money, 352 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: and as will cool, that's nice. But yeah, so she's like, 353 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: I knew nothing of this. I didn't know he left 354 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: many money. I didn't know anything shit was going on. 355 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: And she's just like overwhelmed with emotion as one would 356 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: in this situation, and she just like straight up just 357 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: starts solving and he's like, okay, now, if she knew 358 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: anything about this, like we would know. So so Keish 359 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: never gave any sort he never used his real name. 360 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: He would call himself her Hoffmann. Keith would place carefully 361 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 1: awarded advertisements in the matrimonial columns in the newspaper, and 362 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: he would always ask questions about financial resources. He was 363 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: always really careful to like cover his tracks as much 364 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: as possible from going through like the letters and everything 365 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: that was there and contacting other police departments where you know, 366 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: he felt the women were from, and it would basically, 367 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: you know, the letters would inquire basically what the letters 368 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: were asking was how much money do you have? And 369 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: also when anyone noticed if you went missing, like how 370 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 1: many family members you got, like what's going on there? So, 371 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, and Keish would go visit them. He would 372 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: spend money, and he would lavish attention on her and like, 373 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, make her feel like she was the Besney, 374 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: like she was the apple of his eye, and other 375 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: terms of endearment. I cannot think of the top of 376 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: my head. I'm sorry, I'm losing my voice. I'm losing 377 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: my voice. I'm so sorry. They were just going through 378 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: everything with a fine tooth comb and like if he 379 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: was and if there was like a reason that you know, 380 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: if it looked like, you know, the woman was going 381 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: to contact the police, he would just you know, he 382 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: would just remove the problem, eliminate the issue in the situation. 383 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: So they get their first break and it's Madam Catherine Varga. 384 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: So the kV were the initials they found. And Catherine 385 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: Varga was a young widow from Budapest and had a 386 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: profitable dress making business and she sold it so she 387 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: could meet with her profit because she had, you know, 388 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: a new husband on the way, so she was like, 389 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: I don't need to work now I got a husband. 390 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: And when she disappears, no one, no one would miss her, 391 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: No one notices that she's gone, and the good thing 392 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: is like people made their own clothes and stuff like that, 393 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: so like their names would be imbroid on it. So 394 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: they find something else with has like Julianne Pastrick stitched 395 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: in it. So then they go through stuff and they 396 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: see that two women had actually sued Bailakeish for taking 397 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: money on the problems of marriage, Julian Pashak and Elizabeth 398 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: Coomermi surprisingly didn't show up to court, you know, which 399 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: was very lucky. What do you know, nobody thought was 400 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: suspicious anyway, So at this point they have enough evidence 401 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: to prove that Keith had murdered thirty women, but at 402 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: the up point, only one of the victims in the 403 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: metal drums had actually been identified. They're able to identify 404 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: Marie and they're able to identify Paul because they're known 405 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: by the town, so they were actually pretty easy. And 406 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: then so as it turns out, this woman shows up 407 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: to the detective missus Toff and she goes, listen, my 408 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: daughter was supposed to marry this dude bi Lakeish. He was, 409 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: you know. She told me to give him money so 410 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: they could get married. I gave him money. They did 411 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: not get married, and Margaret said, you know, they'd gone 412 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: back in the promise of marrying her. So I go 413 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: to visit the dude, and when I go visit her, 414 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: go visit him. He says that he only wanted to 415 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: delay it, you know, for reasons, and and off she goes, 416 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: and he says that Margaret has run off to America. 417 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: Where have we heard the story before? This sounds familiar 418 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: to anybody else, the same bullshit he said about Marie. 419 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: Where he's going to save it Marie because this is 420 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: like nineteen oh six anyway, So basically the way the detective, 421 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: so the detective basically figures out that you know Margaret. 422 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: Basically Kish gets Margaret to write a letter saying that 423 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: she could not bear the shame of rejection by Bayla 424 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: and that she was going to look for new love 425 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: in America. So they have allways murders. Effectively, what he 426 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: would do is steal money, and if he thought they 427 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: were going to do anything report him or whatever, he 428 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: would strangle them or poison them or maybe both. So 429 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Like the reason he's called the Vampire 430 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: of Singoda is because he would ensanguinate the body, so 431 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: he would drain the bodies of blood before placing them 432 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: in the burrow. But it's find it so strange though, 433 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: because like where did the blood go? What did he do? Anyway, 434 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: So by you know, October in nineteen sixteen, Dr Nag 435 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: basically receives a message from a Serbian hospital claiming that 436 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: a soldier called Baila Keish died of typhoid in nineteen fifteen. 437 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: Then he gets another message saying that Keish was alive 438 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: and he was at the hospital. So he bolts it 439 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: off there. So they get to the hospital and you know, 440 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: by the time they get there, it's night, and they 441 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,719 Speaker 1: go in, you know, to see where bela Cash's is, 442 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, recuperating. So they get in there and the man, 443 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: the man in Belakisha's bed is dead. However, that's not Belakish. Somehow, somehow, 444 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: either Kish was warned or he had some premonition. I 445 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: don't fucking know what the dude has ah maybe and 446 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: he basically he basically does what the demented version of 447 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: putting stuffing pillows in your bed to make it look 448 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: like you're there. That's that's what he did. How this 449 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: person died, we don't know if that, you know, the 450 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: soldier died of like natural causes or whether you know, 451 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: Kish strangled him and replaced him. Either way, he is gone. So, yeah, 452 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: the vampire of Sincora is gone. But there are sightings 453 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: of him for literal decades after this. Yes, so he's seen. Supposedly, 454 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: Kish is sighted on the Market Bridge in Budapest, which 455 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: was Hoffman's hunting grounds pre war. He's then in nineteen twenty, 456 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: a member of the French Foreign Legion goes to the 457 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: police and he's like, there's this legionnaire who I think 458 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: might be Kish because you know, he says his name's Hoffman, 459 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: and he keeps talking about how good he is with 460 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: a girl and honestly kind of creepy. So they go, 461 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, the police are like, they go, they want 462 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: to go check out this dude, Hoffman. They go to 463 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: visit the unit. And also in addition, furthermore, they discover 464 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: that Hoffman has deserted the French Foreign Legion. Okay, ah, 465 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: there's reports of these, you know, these Hungarian soldiers, and 466 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: they're like, ah, no, by Lakeish in prison in Romania 467 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: for a burglary. Oh he was, he died of yellow 468 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: fever in Turkey. Ah. So nineteen thirty two, so that's 469 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: like another sixteen years later, Detective Henry Oswald, also known 470 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: as Camera Eye because he has such a great memory 471 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: for faces, was convinced that he saw by Lakeish walking 472 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: out of a subway station in Times Square. So basically, 473 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: people had this whole theory that you know, he would 474 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: have been in the sixties at that point and living 475 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: in New York, and rumors, you know, keep circulating, and 476 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty six, you know, the gossip was that 477 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: he was working as a as a janitor in this 478 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: apartment building. And so the police are like, okay, we'll 479 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: go drig out. Nineteen thirty six, the wars just started, 480 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: but we're not in it yet, so we'll go have 481 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: a look. And when they go to interview the janitor, 482 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: bim janitor has just disappeared. A lot of this is 483 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: like they went to go chat to this suspicious dude, 484 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: and this suspicious dude with a foreign accent has just 485 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: fucked off for whatever reason. I mean, there's plenty of reasons, 486 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: you know that people might be one of reasons why 487 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: somebody might when I run away from place and that. 488 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: But here's the thing, right, so there's all this supposed 489 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: travel by Beila cash like all over the world. But 490 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: there are no more crimes apart from these that have 491 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: been attributed to him. So either a he was killed 492 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: at war, or he was killed shortly after war, or 493 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: b he was injured so severely in the war that 494 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: he did not have the means, that he did not 495 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: have the means or the ability of capability to continue killing. 496 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: Or c he just kept killing but he just wasn't caught. 497 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: Ohso this whole thing about camera eye is, as far 498 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: as I know, the so called photo which is like 499 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: the soldier with a mustache in the hat that is 500 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: attributed to being Beilakeish is I think a sketch as 501 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: far as I know, I don't know if it's actually Yeah, 502 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: it's a sketch, it's not quite a Also, in addition, furthermore, 503 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: why did he keep them Like here's the thing, like, 504 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: why did he keep the bodies so close when they 505 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: could be easily detected? But yeah, hmmm, So that that 506 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: was the story of bi Lakeish, the vampire slashed monster 507 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: of Senkota. So what did we learned today? One do 508 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: not trust men with mustaches. I think that's clearer for everybody. 509 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: Do not trust men with mustaches. The bigger the mustache, 510 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: the more dangerous they are. So you know that mixologist, 511 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: you know in that bar with the with the vintage 512 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: style lights and they've got the tuxedo one, don't trust them. No, no, no, 513 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: no no. I don't care how John Taylor's mustache is. 514 00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: It is not worth it, don't. So the past is frightening. 515 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: I feel like as another another thing we should take 516 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: on board recommendations. Guess who's finally reading a book that 517 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: isn't about history. Nope, I'm reading Women Don't Owe You 518 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: Pretty by Florence Given. So I'm gonna have a wee 519 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: look over that and see how we get on. I'm 520 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: pretty excited to read it, actually, especially considering I've ordered 521 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: so many books and they've only started to arrive and 522 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: they're all like delayed and stuff. So that's not fun, 523 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: I must add. But anyway, that's not the point. So 524 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: oh yes. Also, if you are listening to this on iTunes, 525 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: if you want to like write and review, you could 526 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: just like give me five stars and say your favorite color. 527 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: I don't care, just say something nice. If you review it, 528 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: then more people get to it. Goes more people get 529 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: to like, learn of its existence, and that would be nice. 530 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: I would like to share history with more people, if 531 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: that's possible, and not just because I love the sound 532 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: of my own voice. I would greatly appreciate it if 533 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: you would just rate interview, maybe say something nice. Oh, so, 534 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: anybody have any fun Valentine's plans? My Valentine's plans involve 535 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: eating as much cheese as physically possible, and possibly I know, 536 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: maybe what's dancing on ice that's on Valentine's Day and 537 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: that'll that'll do. That's fine, that's fine, it's fine. 538 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 2: Oh. 539 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: I have started listening to podcast recommendation. Actually, I started 540 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: listening to I started listening to Small Town Murder, and 541 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: those guys are so funny. They're so funny. I am. 542 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent here for this. I'm I 543 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: really enjoy I really enjoy it.

But this girl showed up on my 549 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,919 Speaker 1: TikTok and she's on Deep Hop. It's Radiohead one two three. 550 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: Radiohead one two three. She made these ear rings that 551 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: are little frying pans, and I was I was like, 552 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: I wast frying pans.
