0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Ridiculous crime. It's a production of iHeartRadio.

<v Speaker 3>Well.

<v Speaker 2>Richard Dawson. No, two different mashups, right, one of which

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:45.639

<v Speaker 2>holdless well yeah, and the other one. I had this

<v Speaker 2>like flight of fancy this morning where I was like,

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if I could get this at like Walmart,

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 2>and then I read up on it and it's only

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>available in.

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 3>China, Chinese walmarts.

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Chinese Walmarts. So yeah, I you know, I'm not allowed

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>to fly to China and go.

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Not after not after the incident.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 2>No, not with the ankle bracelet. So anyway, this smashup

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>involves two things you like, so you may be into this.

<v Speaker 2>Oh god, yeah, I know, I know, you're like scrunching

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 2>up your face. Yes, So it's KFC has joined forces

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 2>with ore Eo, but it's only in China for some reason.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>And it has the same kind of dark chocolate cooking,

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>but the filling inside is uh fried chicken flavored that way. Yeah, exactly, like.

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Fried chicken that had like a crust of oreos.

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Well that's what you would kind of think. No, this

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>is it's the sweet cream is replaced with a filling

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:08.799
<v Speaker 2>meant to taste like KFC's original recipe eleven herbs and spices,

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 2>minus the meat. And so it's. It went on sale

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.000

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>limited edition Playful Time Travel collection, which as far as

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I understand, only includes one other. It's a collection of

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>two things, and it's like caramel popcorn is the other flavor.

<v Speaker 2>fried chicken and milk taste.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Like, No, I'm not wondering. I can do that one

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:36.800

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so anyway, I'd love to like, have they has

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>anyone from ORIO or KFC stepped forward to make a

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous SoundBite about this. No, I found no state.

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, what a shame, I know.

<v Speaker 2>And I wanted to make you eat one today because.

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 3>That's my new goal, one of these in my mouth.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Get on this stuff early enough so I can source it.

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>And like I sent a message to the other one

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>that I'm trying to get me to answer me. So

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>I got to buy it out of my own pocket,

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>which I'll do.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, have you seen what go without?

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>So you can have thanks?

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Mom? Have you seen a subway takes?

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 3>All right? Did you see the one where the guys

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 3>said that he has a theory, a conspiracy theory that

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 3>the colonels of Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken is actually

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>a Japanese man.

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I have seen it, right, I think that's brilliant.

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, and now that's now cannon for.

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Me, so sure, well okay, so then now we have

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, Chinese Japanese.

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Piece working together in the kitchen here, Yeah, exactly, you

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 3>need God.

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I know you have no idea, but I got some

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous for you.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 3>You and I often say we're show folk. Yes right,

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 3>we put on the show. We can muscle our way

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 3>through adversity or pain what have you, for the sake

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 3>of the show. Of course, that attitude is best summed

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 3>up by this old saying around the theater world. The

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:12.119
<v Speaker 3>show must go on, yes, sir, Well, sometimes in extreme circumstances,

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 3>the show must not go on. And sometimes to stop

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 3>the show from going on, folks turn to crime. This

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 3>is Ridiculous Crime, a podcast about absurd and outrageous capers, heists,

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 3>and cons. It's always ninety nine percent murder free and

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 3>one hundred percent ridiculous. Yees, Elizabeth, sir. Now, as I

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 3>said up top, we're both show fo we both live

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 3>our lives according to the show folk mantra, the show

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 3>must go on exactly. Do you know where that saying

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 3>comes from?

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't.

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.720
<v Speaker 3>I did not either, and I had to look it up.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 3>The answer is a bit murky. But there's some speculation

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 3>that this idea was first expressed by my man Billy Shakespeare.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 3>M yeah, and it was in his play Henry the

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Fourth Part one. Okay, side note, My favorite rendition of

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 3>that play is definitely the River Phoenix Kana Reeves movie

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 3>my own private Idaho.

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah right. It is a really great one.

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 3>It really is, and it really captures the whole like

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 3>Prince Hal and like it doesn't matter, but it's a

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 3>great movie. So anyway, in the original Shakespearean play Henry

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 3>the Fourth Part one, the line comes from Act two,

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Scene four. I looked all this up okay Reddit for you,

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 3>so i'd have proper contexts. You see, Prince Hal and Falstaff,

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>my man Falstaff, are playing this little game of role

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 3>playing as Shakespeare was wont to do. And in that scene,

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Falstaff is playing Prince how well the Prince plays his

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:05.359
<v Speaker 3>father the King? Okay? As such, Falstaff is asking his father,

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 3>the King, what he, as the Prince, should do about

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 3>that known miscreant Falstaff, right, and the Prince playing the

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 3>King is giving him advice. So in order, Prince Hal

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 3>is giving him self advice. You follow, yes, okay, now

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 3>towards the end of the scene, Falstaff is playing the

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 3>part of Prince Hal, and he asked the prince playing

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 3>his father the King, if he should keep Falstaff by

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 3>his side. He's still with me. Yes, okay, So Prince

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Hal as his father the King, he describes his friend

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 3>and would be mentor Falstaff, saying that quote that villainous,

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 3>abominable misleader of youth Falstaff, that old white bearded satan.

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 3>And Falstaff as Prince Hal responds, my Lord the man.

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 3>I know. Now it's another classic Shakespeare in double entendre

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 3>of meaning, you know, with the aid of their role

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 3>playing to carry it all off. Now, Prince Hal has

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 3>a nickname. They call him Harry, as you know. And

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 3>I bring this up because it matters for the next quote. Anyway,

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Falstaff as the Prince offers a defense of fall Staff

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 3>the man, and he excuses his own many vices, and

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 3>he goes on to give Harry aka Prince Hal, still

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 3>role playing as the King, this advice and I quote, no,

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 3>my good lord, banish peto, banish, barred off, banish poins.

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 3>But for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff,

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 3>valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant being as he

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 3>is old Jack Falstaff, Banish not him, thy Harry's company,

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Banish not him, thy Harry's company, banish plump Jack, and

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 3>banish all the world. So, in other words, Jack Falstaff

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 3>represents the pleasures and the vulgarities of the world which

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 3>any prince must know, no intimately, if he is to

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 3>one day be a wise king. So he must know

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 3>what motivates and satiates lesser men than the king. And

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 3>listening to the advice Prince hal As, the King agrees

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 3>not to banish my man Jack Falstaff. Now they're little

0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 3>play inside. The play is then interrupted by the character Bardolf,

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 3>and he warns Prince Hell, oh, my lord, my lord,

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 3>the sheriff with a most monstrous watch is at the door,

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 3>to which Falstaff now has both himself and still the

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Prince roars back out, you rogue, Play out the play.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I have much to say in the behalf of that Falstaff.

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 3>So there it is the first expression of this idea.

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 3>The show must go on. Play out the.

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Play, play out the play.

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 3>And I love how Shakespeare as the source of so

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 3>many firsts in the English lineguage. Yeah right, he's the best.

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Like I'm sure, you know. He invented a ton of

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 3>words like eyeball and bedroom and birthplace and blanket. But

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 3>he also coined the words addiction and swagger and fashionable, generous,

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 3>and frugal, or emotional words like amazement, excitement, arouse, lonely,

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 3>and gloomy. He also coined some of my favorite words ever,

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:57.559
<v Speaker 3>like mad cap, cold blooded, lackluster, unreal, unearthly, and bedazzled.

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 3>So when you bedazzle your a JJ, that's because Shakespeare

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 3>taught you that word. Really, not you personally, but it's anybody.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 3>It's the last time I heard the word bedazzle be used.

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Did I had a bedazzler? Did you as like an adult?

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Did you really?

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And I made I made a bedazzled gift for

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 2>my friend Val. It was a T shirt with a

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 2>horse running on it, and I dazzled the horse.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>And I think she later turned it into a cute purse.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's cool, but it lives on. No, it definitely does,

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.559
<v Speaker 3>and all thanks to Billy Shakes. Now, obviously I'm rather

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 3>jealous of Shakespeare. I'd love to invent new words for English.

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 3>But to his credit, he's really good at like making

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 3>new compound words because his language is always so poetic.

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 3>And anyway, my point is, I think I need to

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 3>finish reading all of his plays. And anyway, back to

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 3>the story, that phrase play out the play. It's like

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 3>the headwaters for the more common phrase that later came

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 3>to be the show must go on. But there's also

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 3>another similar phrase from a famous theatrical character that predates it,

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 3>and that character is the crying cloud polyachi.

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh from Comedia dol Artes.

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, right, in the eighteen ninety two opera of the

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 3>same name, the clown Palliaci sings this aria at the

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 3>end of the first act, and when he's not playing

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 3>the clown Palliacchi, the character's government name is Kanio, and

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 3>Kanio discovers that his wife is cheating on him, but

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 3>he still has to go out and put on his

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 3>show as the funny man clown Pallacci. It's like the

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.680
<v Speaker 3>meme with the psychiatrist. But I am Polyacci, and so

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 3>in his aria he says vesti la juba, which translates

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.319
<v Speaker 3>into English means on with the motley, or in other words,

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 3>the comedy must go on.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Still, that's not quite the same thing. So as far

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 3>as the exact wording. It was folks in the circus

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 3>in the United States who first used the phrase the

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 3>show must go on.

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I see, not a theater thing, but now it.

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Starts with circus because in the case of circus performers,

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't that the motley must go on even if

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 3>your wife is found to be cheating on you, but

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 3>rather that anything that happens, anything that would could or

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 3>should knock you off your game as a former, it

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 3>must be overcome. It must be transcended, because the show

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 3>matters more.

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you can't break no show exactly got.

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Under the big ten of the circus. Things often did

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.559
<v Speaker 3>go wrong, like a lion tamer might be lightly mauled,

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 3>an acrobat might fall, an elephant might escape their tent

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 3>and run amok. And yet despite whatever may happen, the

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 3>ring master would remind all of the circus performers and

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 3>I quote it is a point of honor not to

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 3>let the other players down by deserting them when no

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 3>understudy is available. So I got like the theater, they

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 3>got no backup acura.

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 3>So in other words, folks are all counting on you.

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.959
<v Speaker 3>Roll in this together. Now get out there and let's

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 3>put on.

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 2>A show they paid.

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.959
<v Speaker 3>For exactly Now, the same expression soon spread to the

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 3>theater folk who had that same idea, right, and then

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 3>they use it, obviously with the exact same meaning. And

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 3>from there the expression escaped the world of performers. It

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 3>soon became common like American parlance. In fact, by eighteen

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 3>sixty seven, the phrase the show must go on was

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 3>already so common in the US that it was added

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 3>to the Dictionary of Americanisms. Oh right, okay, Dictionary of Americanisms.

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Now you may be wondering, exeren why did you just

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 3>take us down this rabbit hole of the derivation of

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.079
<v Speaker 3>the expression the show must go on? Great question, Elizabeth,

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 3>So glad you got your head on. The reason why

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 3>is that sometimes, in some circumstances, the show must absolutely

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 3>not go on.

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 2>That's very true.

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 3>And that's what I want to tell you about today.

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Three very ridiculous and criminal instances of the show needing

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 3>to stop dead in its tracks. Yeah, yeah, to proceed

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 3>no further, The show must not go on, not go on.

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 3>The first up, let's dip out to Vermont. Staying on theme,

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 3>this story begins in the theater. Uh huh, Yes, in Exeter, Vermont,

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 3>a local theater, was putting on a performance of The

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Rocky Horror Picture Show. Did you ever get into Rocky

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Horror Picture Show, like the midnight screenings or people coming

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm guessing you would say quirky and.

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>No quirky, that is correct me.

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 3>I was too young. Like my friend's older brother and sisters,

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 3>they went to midnight shows of the Rocky Horror Picture

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 3>Show and they get all dulled up and they it's

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 3>like their favorite character or whatever, and then they'd sing

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 3>along with all the musical numbers. Some would even go

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 3>down and perform below the screen in conjunction.

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was before my time. It wasn't something

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>that it took a.

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Seventies hangover the last year into the eighties, sure, and

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 3>by the nineties you'd see it.

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.720
<v Speaker 2>It's someplace someplaces in the nineties, and it was like

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>people really trying to.

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Keep that spirit totally. They're bringing the toast and throwing it.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you know, yes, I know that, Yeah, Okay, Anyway,

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't there. This is always what I heard. Anyway.

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Back to Essex, Vermont. In April this year, the Essex

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Community Players were getting ready to put on their production

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 3>of the seventies film. But then things took an ominous turn.

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, the twenty six year old musical director of

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 3>the stage play, Kenneth Grenier, he started to receive what

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 3>were described by the local press as threatening text messages.

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, the musical director received this storm of text messages.

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 3>The harassment, it was unending, Elizabeth, and so to protect

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 3>him and presume the other members of the show's cast

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 3>and crew, the production company shut down the production of

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 3>the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 2>These were threatening text to him.

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 3>To him personally, the musical director, and it was bad,

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 3>like you know, like death threaty types.

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So this campaign of harassment and threats was so

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:21.119
<v Speaker 3>pronounced that the local Essex Police began this investigation. And this, Elizabeth,

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 3>is where the story goes sideways.

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh I love sideways.

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 3>The investigators from Essex Police, they use all the tools

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 3>at their disposal. They tracked the sources of the threatening texts.

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 3>They identified that this campaign of harassment was coming from

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 3>an IP address that was registered to Grenier's own home.

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I saw this Netflix documentary.

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 3>The calls were coming from inside the house. All naturally,

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 3>the police visited Greanner and asked him why he was

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 3>sending himself threatening text messages and lying about it. That's

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 3>when the musical director confessed. He admitted that he'd created

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 3>a fake account on some subscriber based cell phone app

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.040
<v Speaker 3>and then he sent himself the messages in order to

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 3>to get the local production of the Rocky horror show canceled.

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Must Not Go On.

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 2>And the self sacrifice of it. So he's not saying

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 2>nasty things to other people, calling in a bomb threat,

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 2>but then it also allows for all the people to

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>be concerned about him.

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 3>It's major theater kid.

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 2>In so yeah, hardcore love that. You gotta love that.

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Nobody has ever theater kid. It is hard This guy cranky.

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 2>But the performances of like how he's expressing his.

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Fear everyone concerned about him, and then.

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>But also saying, you, guys, I don't want you to worry.

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>It's just about me exactly.

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know, you don't understand.

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>You have to figure out how to make my home secured.

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Can I stay at your house? Oh no, wait, I

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 2>don't want to put you in danger. Oh god, what

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>do I do?

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 3>So it turns out he's been having apparently all sorts

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 3>of issues and problems with the cast and the crew.

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 3>So he was like, I can't do this anymore. This

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 3>show must be stopped. This show cannot go on, And

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 3>so he goes and subscribes to the cell phone apps

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 3>starts texting himself die die or whatever else he die. Yeah.

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 3>The best solution he comes up with is he'd harass

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 3>and threaten himself until the show was shut down, and

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 3>just like that, boom, it works.

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I love that he's also thinking, if it's just against him,

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 2>they're going to have to close the whole show exactly,

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 2>instead of being like, Homie, why don't you leave town

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 2>for a week so we can take this.

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 3>We've got we're past rehearsals, we're almost ready to run

0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 3>the show. We got the numbers down.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>That too, he feels he is so important.

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 3>So the local Assex police they charged him with a

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 3>misdemeanor of making a false report to law enforcement. So

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 3>now he has a new set of problems, ones that

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 3>require a lawyer. Oh boy, So there you go, Lizabeth.

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 3>That's our first example of the show must absolutely go

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 3>on for now. Let's take a little break, listen to

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 3>some ads, and when we're back on with show, We're

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 3>back Elizabeth, Hello, you're ready to keep this show rolling? Yes, sir,

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.639
<v Speaker 3>good good, Okay. For my next magic trick, we consider

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 3>another ridiculous and criminal example of someone saying to themselves,

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 3>this show must.

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Not go on in any way go on.

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.879
<v Speaker 3>This one is also from this year. These are recent crimes.

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 3>It comes to us from July of this year. And

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 3>what are June and July the season of I don't

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 3>know that's right, weddings? Eh. Okay, So this story is

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.880
<v Speaker 3>about a wedding one that I guess someone believed must

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.880
<v Speaker 3>not go on. So the story goes in July tenth

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.239
<v Speaker 3>of this year, a family was preparing the church for

0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 3>a wedding the next day. They were in the Salt Lake, say,

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 3>suburb of Caysville, and there stood the local chapel for

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 3>the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. So

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.199
<v Speaker 3>it's a Mormon church, yeah, and it's getting laid. It's

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 3>around ten pm. Relatives along with the couple to be married,

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 3>they're putting on the finishing touches for the wedding chapel

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 3>the next day. Now, Elizabeth, you know how stressful that

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 3>can be. You've been the officiant for a wedding. You

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 3>know how it is the night before the wedding. Yep.

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.120
<v Speaker 3>And let's say like in this instance, it's a homemade effort, right, yeah,

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.679
<v Speaker 3>and everyone's doing their part, throwing in, pitching in to

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 3>make a beautiful and dreamy affair.

0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, when you officiated a wedding, did you have the

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 2>stress of working the night before?

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 3>I did it twice, and the first time I was

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 3>so stressed that a doctor friend offered me beta blockers.

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I didn't end up taking them. I just took a

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 3>shot out of somebody's flask of whiskey and I was like,

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm good to go. Night before, No, the moments before

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.919
<v Speaker 3>the event, but the night before I was nervous, but

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 3>not terribly nervous. I was actually running around Berkeley trying

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.919
<v Speaker 3>to get my suit together, so I had other nerves.

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.119
<v Speaker 3>I guess that would be nerves.

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but yeah, I bounced out night before and went

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:01.440
<v Speaker 2>in sauft.

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Florence the Machine really.

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 2>At the Ace Hotel in la by yourself. Well. No,

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 2>it was like the debut of that music video the

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 2>long form okay, for that album how whatever, I can't

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 2>really name it anyway, it was super super good. Yeah,

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.159
<v Speaker 2>I took one of the wedding guests and we went nice,

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 2>really can did it up? Have fun at the real didn't.

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:27.159
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 3>The second one, I did have to help out a

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:30.520
<v Speaker 3>bunch because it was much more of a homemade affair,

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 3>and I was nervous that we were going to get

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.679
<v Speaker 3>everything together. But I also had confident because it was

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 3>I liked the crew. I thought they'll pull this.

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hey, the show will go on exactly.

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 3>So in this case, the relatives they're helping the would

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.400
<v Speaker 3>be couple put on the finishing touches for the wedding

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.479
<v Speaker 3>the next day, and as I said, you know how

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 3>that can be well, tensions rise, arguments going to occur,

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 3>especially being got family working together. And then when you

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:59.360
<v Speaker 3>know what, the worst possible thing did occur. Someone hears

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 3>a fire or alarm. Oh yeah, people rush about and

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 3>someone discovers there's smoke, there's flames, it's a real fire.

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh no.

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:08.880
<v Speaker 3>The next thing you know, folks are rushing around trying

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 3>to put the fire out by themselves. And then eventually

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 3>the fire department arrives and the church does get saved

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 3>from burning down to the ground, but it had major

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.640
<v Speaker 3>damage and the wedding Elizabeth, the wedding was ruined. Who

0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 3>wants to get married? And what would be ostensibly a

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 3>crime scene like a goth person. No, I say crime

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:29.920
<v Speaker 3>scene because after the fire department arrives and they quelled

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the fire, they contact the police department and request that

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 3>they come out to investigate the church as an arson.

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>They found Kansasline.

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, not only that the local PD, the federal agency,

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 3>the ATF, also came out to investigate. Yeah, like the alcohol, tobacco,

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.119
<v Speaker 3>and firearm. So it's your wedding day nightmare pretty much

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 3>of like now you got federal agencies speaking around.

0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 3>So, Elizabeth, how did this nightmare come to be? Fantastic question?

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 3>And you know what, Rather than me tell you about it, Elizabeth, closed.

0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Your eyes as alone.

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 3>I want you to picture it. It's a beautiful day

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 3>in Utah. The date is July tenth. It's also the

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.639
<v Speaker 3>day before your wedding. Yes, that's right, Elizabeth, you are

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.199
<v Speaker 3>the blushing bride to be. It's the eve of the

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.400
<v Speaker 3>big day and at the moment you and your fiance

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 3>are out running some errands. Back at the church, his

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 3>relatives prepared the church for the nuptials and you two

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.359
<v Speaker 3>have stepped out to go buy some extra hooks for

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 3>hanging garlands and signage, as well as some drinks, both

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 3>for the wedding reception and for the folks prepping the church.

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Your fiance drives. You sit in the passenger seat of

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 3>his pickup truck, window down, listening to some satellite radio

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.920
<v Speaker 3>station he likes, a country singer you don't particularly love,

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.439
<v Speaker 3>recounts how his latest love affair went wrong in a

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:50.120
<v Speaker 3>very country music way. Your fiance pulls into a Chevron

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 3>gas station, not to refuel, but instead to buy drinks.

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 3>He shuts off the truck's engine and the country singer

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 3>with the love troubles cuts off. Doors open, and you

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 3>two crossed the short part from the area to the

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.120
<v Speaker 3>gas station. A bell sounds as your fiance ganks open

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 3>the door. A blast of air conditioned air greech you

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 3>at the cold case. You and your fiance pick out

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 3>some twelve facor sodas and some carbonated water no beer,

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.200
<v Speaker 3>since your fiance is a Mormon. The gas station attendant

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 3>is friendly enough as they ring up your drink purchases.

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:21.119
<v Speaker 3>The bell sounds again as you two step out of

0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 3>the gas station and then walk back to your fiance's

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.359
<v Speaker 3>truck doors open and close. Then, when your fiance turns

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Ginja back on, you're greeted by the sound of a

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.400
<v Speaker 3>different country singer, this time a young woman. She also

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.160
<v Speaker 3>has love troubles, something about not finding a man who

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.920
<v Speaker 3>loves hunting dogs and fishing with his buddies and swimming

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 3>in creeks with her. You assume some of it must

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 3>be metaphorical, only it's not. These are literally her concerns.

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 3>Your fiance drives you over to the second stop. It's

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.360
<v Speaker 3>a short trip. He pulls into the parking lot. You're

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.400
<v Speaker 3>glad when he shuts off the engine and the love

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.640
<v Speaker 3>lorn country singer's voice falls away. There's no bell over

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 3>the door of the local Ace Hardware. Instead, when you

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 3>step inside, you're greeted by a friendly counter person saying

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 3>good afternoon and a welcoming sing song. You and your

0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:04.119
<v Speaker 3>fiance agree to shop separately. He'll find the hooks, and

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 3>you'll browse to see if there's anything else you all

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 3>might need. As soon as he's out of sight, you

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.280
<v Speaker 3>don't browse. Instead, you make a bee line over to

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 3>a display of cigarette lighters. You take a quick look

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 3>around to see if anyone can see you satisfied, there's

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 3>no eyes on you. You swipe two lighters off the

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 3>shelf with a well practiced move. You put your hand

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 3>into your pants pocket, and then you push your hand

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:26.920
<v Speaker 3>into your shirt as if you were secreting something away

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 3>in your bra. After that, you take a few steps,

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 3>but pause and bend down as if to fix your

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 3>untied shoelaces. As you retie your shoelaces, you also slip

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 3>a lighter into your shoe, and you give a quick

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 3>fur to look around to see if anyone spotted you.

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 3>No one did. You're good. You stand back up. Now

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:45.919
<v Speaker 3>there are no lighters in your hands, so you go

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 3>to meet your fiance at the counter as he pays

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.760
<v Speaker 3>for the hooks you too came to buy. It's another

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 3>short drive back to the church, soundtracked by more country music,

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 3>not the outlaw country that you prefer, but more of

0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 3>the pop crossover variety. The man who as soon to

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 3>be your husband sings along. He obviously doesn't know the

0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 3>actual lyrics, but that doesn't stop him. Instead, he sings

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.200
<v Speaker 3>what he guesses the lyrics are, and for some reason,

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.639
<v Speaker 3>it's annoying the hell out of you. Luckily, it's a

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 3>short trip back at the church, some of his relatives

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:15.159
<v Speaker 3>come out to help bring in the twelve packs of

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 3>drinks and the carbonated water you two picked up. Once

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 3>you're inside the church, you check the progress. There are

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 3>flower garlands hanging in bouquets on the tables in the

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 3>rooms that's decorated for the reception. In the church proper,

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 3>there are more flowers and paper creche decor. You're no

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 3>fan of his family's sense of design, but what can

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 3>you do? There are more of them than there are

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 3>of you. At around ten pm, someone suggests you, guys

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:40.720
<v Speaker 3>called a night. You have a big day tomorrow and

0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 3>you too need all the beauty sleep you can get.

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:44.919
<v Speaker 3>You are in your fiance. Tell the others you'll go

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 3>lock up the back doors of the reception hall. This

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:50.360
<v Speaker 3>is when you decide to take matters into your own hands.

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Will your fiance is busy locking up, You pull a

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 3>tampon from your pocket, and then you pull out one

0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 3>of the lighters you stole. With a quick flick of

0:24:57.320 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 3>the bic, you put flame to tampon and it catches

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 3>fire like it was made to burn. You casually toss

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:06.359
<v Speaker 3>the burning tampon under a stack of church chairs. Your

0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 3>fiance returns to find you waiting for him. He doesn't

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 3>smell the smoke or see the burning tampon. You smile, ever,

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 3>confident your plan is going to work. You're gonna burn

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:18.800
<v Speaker 3>this mother down. You two rejoin his relatives in the

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 3>church as they get ready to leave, and that's when

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 3>your plan runs into misfortune. You hear it. A fire

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 3>alarm goes off. It's loud, it's urgent. At this sound,

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 3>his relatives freak out. They run around looking for the fire.

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't take long for someone to find it. They

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 3>call for help. Someone else runs over with a bouquet

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 3>of flowers. They toss the blossoms on the floor and

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:40.919
<v Speaker 3>then pour the water on the fire. It splashes against

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.880
<v Speaker 3>the floor in the flames, but it doesn't put them out.

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:46.639
<v Speaker 3>Someone else runs over with a fire extinguisher and clash

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 3>the fire with its foamy contents. That does the trick.

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 3>The fire, which had begun to spread to the church walls,

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 3>does indeed go out, leaving behind a scorched wall and

0:25:56.040 --> 0:26:00.640
<v Speaker 3>the heavy, headache inducing smoke of the extinguished fire. Minutes later,

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 3>you hear the familiar sounds of fire engines approaching sirens blaring.

0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Damn it, you think to yourself, you thought for sure

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:10.199
<v Speaker 3>your tampon fire would burn this church down. But at

0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 3>least it looks like it's made. The wedding tomorrow and

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 3>it possibility. So there you go, Elizabeth, That's how a

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 3>little bit arson ruined a wedding yours. Clearly it was you,

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 3>the bride who tried to burn down the church the

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 3>night before her wedding, because you a bad, bad girl, Elizabeth.

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 3>But why why would you or rather she do this? Well,

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.439
<v Speaker 3>for many brides and grooms, their wedding day is one

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:36.640
<v Speaker 3>of the biggest, greatest, most important days of their lives.

0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:39.119
<v Speaker 3>So again, why would she burn it all down?

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:42.639
<v Speaker 3>Fantastic question, Elizabeth. At this point, let's turn the story

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:47.000
<v Speaker 3>over to the police and their investigation. According to Devin J. Rich,

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 3>the responding officer from the local Kasville Police, things were

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:54.159
<v Speaker 3>hinky from the start. Yeah, as he documented in his

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 3>police report and I quote I responded to the scene

0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 3>as the on call investigator and worked alongside the fire

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Marshal end atf During the investigation, was pointed out by

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:06.959
<v Speaker 3>the fire investigators that the fire appeared to have started

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 3>under a chair that was amongst stacked chairs along the wall.

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:13.119
<v Speaker 3>Under one of the chairs appeared to be items that

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 3>were out of the ordinary, including what appeared to be

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 3>a tampon with the applicator on the floor. So you're

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 3>telling me that the bride started a church fire with

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:24.960
<v Speaker 3>a tampon. I mean, points are being creative, right, right,

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:27.480
<v Speaker 3>exactly sourceful. I mean she's going to have those things

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:31.920
<v Speaker 3>on her right. So as far as the tampon's importance.

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Back to Officer Rich, he also recorded in his official

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:38.439
<v Speaker 3>police report that these items were collected by the ATF. So,

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 3>now the ATF's got you, Tawn.

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, because the thing is the firefighters they know

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:44.440
<v Speaker 2>they see these things and they know.

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Right away that's a fire starter.

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 2>That's a fire like yeah, because they can tell looking

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:51.200
<v Speaker 2>at it, like what's the ignition point and stuff. It's

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 2>fascinating if you've ever had a chance to really irritate

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 2>a firefighter and ask them a lot of questions.

0:27:57.320 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 3>I have, actually, Elizabeth. In fact, I actually got to

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.159
<v Speaker 3>talk to three fire marshals from three different counties at

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.199
<v Speaker 3>the same time because the fire that I started was

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:07.959
<v Speaker 3>out on the corner of three counties for Sonoma, Yolo,

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 3>and Napa County.

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, which was awesome. Do we get to do an

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 2>episode about that.

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 3>We should one day. It cost a lot of money

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 3>for me to learn a lot of hard lessons anyway,

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 3>So in this case, the alcohol, tobacco on firearms gets

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:25.679
<v Speaker 3>called in and they're supposed to collect the evidence, and

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 3>they did know they did their part. But for more

0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 3>actual info, let's go back to Officer Rich as he

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:34.479
<v Speaker 3>documented his police report. I began interviewing those on the

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.239
<v Speaker 3>scene and those who were reported to have been at

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 3>the church during the night, and his investigation begins to

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 3>point him in the right direction this soon to be

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 3>married couple. As Officer Rich learned from the folks in

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 3>the church that faithful night, and I quote it was

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 3>reported that Tessa and a N had gone to secure

0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 3>the building just prior to the fire alarm going off,

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 3>and a en statement was that they were in the

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 3>relief Society room. So it's like the back road. So

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 3>the groom a N. He's also called Alexi in the

0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 3>police report, he confirmed that throughout the night that he

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 3>and Tessa had gone to Ace Hardware and Chevron. Alexi

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:15.959
<v Speaker 3>reported he gonned Ace Hardware to obtain hooks for setting

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 3>it up and Chevron to get drinks. All this in

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 3>the police totally. So you remember all this from the picture,

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 3>and obviously when you remember.

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 2>And I'm having I have a suspicion that there what

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking when I heard what I did, And

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 2>were there surveillance cameras in the ACE hardware?

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 3>You are good. So what we didn't cover was a

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 3>key fact about the police as they begin to focus

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 3>their attention on you, or rather the bride to be.

0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 3>As Officer Rich reported, the woman known as Tessa was

0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 3>actually not named Tessa. Her real name was Lenita Joy

0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Moreno dun dun, dun. Drama intensifies that was not in

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 3>the officer Rich's p So not only was Tessa not

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 3>her real name, but when she gave her birthday to

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 3>the cops, she stated she was born on January eighteenth,

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and two. That too was a lie. Oh yeah,

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:11.240
<v Speaker 3>it was.

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, please tell me she was born in the nineteen hundreds.

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 3>It turns out, ohle, Lenita Joy Morena was actually born

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 3>on January eighteenth, two thousand and one.

0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Just I wanted her to be like whaled to undreds, ye.

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.520
<v Speaker 3>So don't I don't know why she chose to lie

0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 3>about her age but just one year, like maybe said

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:33.520
<v Speaker 3>they were the same age or something or I don't

0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:36.080
<v Speaker 3>know about. All of this make the cops super suspicious

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:38.640
<v Speaker 3>of her and they start focusing on her entirely as

0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 3>the prime suspect for the church arson, and as such,

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Officer Rich begins to gather evidence that he could prove

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 3>that Tessa aka Lenita Joey Moreno was indeed the firebug.

0:30:47.600 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 3>And as you so rightfully pointed out, he's like surveillance

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.760
<v Speaker 3>camera footage. I knew some of that. So he drives

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 3>over to the Chevron station, speaks with the gas station employees.

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 3>He has to view their video surveillance footage. They handed over.

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:01.920
<v Speaker 3>The video shows young couple walk in, they buy some drinks,

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 3>and then they pay and they leave nothing hanky there.

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Then he drives over to a hardware and again he

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 3>asked of you their video surveillance footage, and sure enough,

0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 3>just like in the picture it, he watches Tessa aka

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Lenita Joey Moreno walk in, grab some lighters, stick them

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 3>in her shoes, and look whatnot or bra Notably, he

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 3>notices this is about six forty two pm, just a

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 3>few hours before the church fire. Right, So, now the

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 3>police investigator has established his prime suspect had the means

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 3>as in the lighters and the tampon. He establishes opportunity

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 3>since five witnesses can put the suspect in the church

0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 3>at the time of the fire. But what he doesn't

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 3>have is motive. So Officer Rich goes back to Tessa

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:44.760
<v Speaker 3>aka Lenita joy Moreno, and he confronts her with the

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 3>evidence he's collected. Yes, if she did indeed steal the

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.600
<v Speaker 3>lighters from Ace Hardware, She admits, yes, I did. Do

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 3>you do you smoke or do you not have the

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.640
<v Speaker 3>five ninety eight to buy them? She says no, she did,

0:31:56.680 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 3>but and she has no reason to carry a lighter,

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 3>right Okay, He tells her, will five witnesses have can

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 3>place you in the relief society room of the church

0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 3>just before the fire started, And then he also notes

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>that her driver's license from Wyoming is a She makes

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 3>her now obviously out of state resident, but when she

0:32:12.400 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 3>originally gave her name and birthdate, both of those were incorrect,

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 3>and yet her Wyoming license, you know, corrects the score. Sure,

0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 3>so she admits, yes, I did lie about that as well.

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 3>So At this point, he asked her, what was your

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 3>motive to burn down the church where your wedding was

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 3>going to be held the next day? And Tessa admits

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 3>that you asked if the wedding, you know, if it

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 3>had gone off, it wouldn't have been legal anyway. He's like, well, wait,

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 3>what do you what do you mean by that? Now

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.680
<v Speaker 3>you may be wondering how could that be? Right? Well,

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad you asked Elizabeth. Turns out Tessa had lied

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 3>to the groom and his family about getting a marriage license,

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 3>so there wasnage, so it wouldn't they could have done

0:32:51.520 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 3>the ceremony.

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 2>All they want the ceremony means nothing right.

0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 3>So at this point the motive for the church arson

0:32:56.840 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 3>came into glaring relief. It seems that Tessa absolutely did

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 3>not want to go through with her marriage to the groom,

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 3>and she was prepared to burn down a church in

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:08.000
<v Speaker 3>order to avoid it. God, she was very committed to

0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:13.800
<v Speaker 3>the idea this show must not go on right totally now.

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 3>As for damage, the cost to repair the church reestimated

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 3>to be about one hundred and eight thousand dollars. WHOA, yeah,

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.720
<v Speaker 3>she burned a lot of wall. Apparently, some rafters. I

0:33:22.760 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 3>don't know. As for Tessa aka Lenita, she was charged

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 3>with aggravated arson theft and providing false information to police.

0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 3>So it looks like she will be spending some time

0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 3>in prison where she can think about what she's done

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 3>and also amuse the hell out of her cellmate fellow

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:40.440
<v Speaker 3>jailhouse friends. Because I'm guessing a woman who attempted to

0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 3>burn down a church to get out of her own weddings,

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 3>it is going to be very popular in prison.

0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, probably.

0:33:46.120 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 3>So on that note, let's take another little break and

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 3>after these messages, Elizabeth, we'll be back to discuss why

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 3>are people so bad at music shows these days?

0:33:55.200 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh we're back, Elizabeth.

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Hi, you're ready for things to get a bit gross.

0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:22.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking like a patented dutton gross.

0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 2>So you're asking me.

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Impression.

0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Sometimes your gross your gross outs are

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 2>different than my gross outs. Yours are very clinical, and

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 2>then I start to like see very wrong, real like

0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 2>photo realistic images in my head, and then I get queazy.

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Yours are like a cartoony.

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm fully cartoonish.

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Fluffy round edges. Yeah yeah, Well, thus far, we've had

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 3>a musical director for a local play send himself threatening

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 3>text to get the play canceled. And we had a

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 3>bride try to burn down a church where she was

0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:56.320
<v Speaker 3>getting married, And both instances it was someone who felt

0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:59.759
<v Speaker 3>events had gone too far. Someone must do something to

0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 3>say this show must not go on, and in both

0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 3>cases that someone was the person we've described. Well in

0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:09.760
<v Speaker 3>this story, we have multiple someones who said, yeah, quite

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:12.920
<v Speaker 3>the opposite, the show must go on, and it was

0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 3>others who were like, no, no, no, go handle your business.

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 3>So or more specifically, in this case, it was the

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:22.439
<v Speaker 3>people putting on the show from the stage who were like, oh, yeah,

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:24.520
<v Speaker 3>the show's gonna go on, but you need to leave.

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh this may be a bit confusing, so let me

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 3>put it in play language. Yeah, Elizabeth, did you know

0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 3>there's been a popular uprising by music acts who've been

0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:35.400
<v Speaker 3>asking their fans to take a moment for themselves and

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:38.280
<v Speaker 3>to step away from their performance. You may be wondering,

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:40.440
<v Speaker 3>is Saren Is this because of the severe heat waves

0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:43.919
<v Speaker 3>we've been seeing this summer? Right? Are these music acts

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:45.800
<v Speaker 3>looking out for their fans, not wanting them to suffer

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:47.960
<v Speaker 3>from heat exhaustion? Yeah, And I would say that's a

0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:49.600
<v Speaker 3>really kind thought. But no, that's not it.

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's not.

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure many music performers are worried about their fans

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:55.360
<v Speaker 3>and these record breaking heat waves. Yeah, that's not the

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 3>issue here. Perhaps you were thinking, zaren, are these performers

0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:01.399
<v Speaker 3>worried about the physical safety of their fans, Like, perhaps

0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.399
<v Speaker 3>they're worried things are getting to raucous in the pit

0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:05.879
<v Speaker 3>and they don't want to see anyone get hurt. Yeah, again,

0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:09.279
<v Speaker 3>I would say, good instinct, kind heart, Elizabeth, yea, like

0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 3>where your head's up? It again, No, that's not the

0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 3>concern I'm refer referencing. Or maybe you worry that fans

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 3>are getting harassed or geting assaulted. You like me, like

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:18.919
<v Speaker 3>to see performers step it up and like look out

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:21.439
<v Speaker 3>for their fans in that instance. But once again, while

0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:23.880
<v Speaker 3>it's a very real concern, it's not what I'm referencing.

0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:26.480
<v Speaker 3>So what is this great dangers there? It is because

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:29.520
<v Speaker 3>it is such a popular trend that music acts and

0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:32.640
<v Speaker 3>performers across the nation are stepping up and asking their

0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 3>fans to step away and take care of themselves. The danger, Elizabeth,

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:44.920
<v Speaker 3>is poop, as in fresh feces. I'm talking about steaming turns, yes,

0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.840
<v Speaker 3>side note, what's your favorite safer work go to phrase

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 3>for crab For crab, I'll give you a second to think,

0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 3>and I'll tell you mine. Mine is the kids, as

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 3>in I'm gonna go drop the kids off at the pool. Yeah,

0:36:57.120 --> 0:36:59.000
<v Speaker 3>which is something a friend of mine who used he

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:01.080
<v Speaker 3>used to always say when we work together as house spanners.

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:02.879
<v Speaker 3>He's always like, I gotta go drop the kids off

0:37:02.880 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 3>at the pool for some swim lessons.

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I knew someone always talked about throwing rope, throwing rope,

0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:10.400
<v Speaker 2>or court and ribbon geez, or I'm gonna put a

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:11.680
<v Speaker 2>potato in the crock pot.

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:14.600
<v Speaker 3>I like that one.

0:37:14.640 --> 0:37:15.240
<v Speaker 2>You're horrible.

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.480
<v Speaker 3>So on that note, let's get into it. Apparently, fast

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:22.320
<v Speaker 3>spreading danger of human dung is a real issue.

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean for a lot of reasons, but I

0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know the it's bad. It's a danger for reasons,

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:30.880
<v Speaker 2>but I want to know why. Well, you see, Saron,

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 2>give me the why.

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:34.399
<v Speaker 3>Many music acts and performers have noticed and are now

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 3>speaking up about the fact that people are taking dumps

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 3>at their concerts and has become a major issue. Not

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:42.760
<v Speaker 3>like there's not enough porta potties for all the eager

0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 3>butts to unload into. But rather people are just kind

0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:48.600
<v Speaker 3>of going freelance, like this is good enough spot for me.

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:52.959
<v Speaker 3>As Paste magazine noted on June twenty nineties of this year,

0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:56.120
<v Speaker 3>they commented on this putrid trend and a story with

0:37:56.200 --> 0:38:00.759
<v Speaker 3>the arresting headline, We're entering a on the floor at

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:02.120
<v Speaker 3>concerts epidemic.

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:07.239
<v Speaker 2>I can't get my head. I mean, I have been it.

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:11.919
<v Speaker 2>I've been at all kinds of cont any number of attendees.

0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I see a lot of bodily fluids, puke, blood spits,

0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:23.239
<v Speaker 3>never seen. Yes, Allen's getting loose with it. Thank you, producer, dude. Now,

0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if this is some sort of like

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:27.319
<v Speaker 3>post COVID hangover people no longer knowing how to act

0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:28.960
<v Speaker 3>in public, or if this is an issue of this

0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:31.919
<v Speaker 3>just like these little crap happy monsters weren't raised right

0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:34.640
<v Speaker 3>or right. All I know is the facts, Elizabeth, and

0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:38.800
<v Speaker 3>the facts are feted, as Pace magazine explained and I quote.

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Earlier this month, Alivia Rodrigo revealed that she's often smelled

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:47.120
<v Speaker 3>her fans feces at the barricade to the internet's collective horror.

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 2>Wait, she sings like tiny little music and that people.

0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:53.439
<v Speaker 2>The people are pooping.

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:56.360
<v Speaker 3>From it at the bear enough that she can smell it.

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:58.839
<v Speaker 3>She's like, I don't mind the pot smoke, but it's

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:02.359
<v Speaker 3>In a Kiss FM interview from June of this year,

0:39:02.400 --> 0:39:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Olivia Rodriguez said, and I quote, I've been to certain

0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 3>concerts in certain festivals where people wear diapers so that

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.200
<v Speaker 3>they can be front row of the show. And that's

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 3>been an experience as a performer that I have smelled.

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Like the Times Square ball drop on New Year's Eve,

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 3>everyone is wearing diapers and they sit there all day.

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 3>I think about it kind of often. There's so much

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:25.240
<v Speaker 3>too part in the expression unpacked.

0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:27.200
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot to unpack. First of all, I know

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:32.760
<v Speaker 2>so many people who won't use public bathrooms to drop

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:33.800
<v Speaker 2>body boulders.

0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm one of them.

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:36.800
<v Speaker 2>You're one of them. Are like camping and stuff.

0:39:37.400 --> 0:39:41.240
<v Speaker 3>I've gone three days camping and it's not a hard.

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Time eating Taylor Farms, Dude, I was easier to hold

0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 2>in and held it, but it's easier to hold in

0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:47.959
<v Speaker 2>number two.

0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Sorry to the internet burgers right near Carmel, California.

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Then it is number one. So I can see people

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:56.719
<v Speaker 2>like peeing themselves. I mean, I.

0:39:56.719 --> 0:40:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't sure run down the leg Maybe the cafeter that you. Yeah,

0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:02.480
<v Speaker 3>but like you.

0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Know, fudge babies in the pants.

0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 3>People are brown in their underwears so often it was

0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:10.560
<v Speaker 3>so much volume that singers like Olivia Rodrigo can smell

0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:14.120
<v Speaker 3>their Hershey highways all the way up on stage now two,

0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:16.719
<v Speaker 3>Rodrigo Riley points out that this trend didn't start with

0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:18.879
<v Speaker 3>her young fans. This is something people have been doing

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.479
<v Speaker 3>for a minute. She referenced the Times Square Ball drop

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:24.000
<v Speaker 3>in New Year's Eve, where people crammed into that packed

0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:26.080
<v Speaker 3>plaza because they don't want to lose their place. They

0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 3>wear diapers so they can crab freely and not worry

0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:33.360
<v Speaker 3>about having their way back to the now. This means

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:35.600
<v Speaker 3>when reasonable people like you and me are watching the

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Times Square Ball Drop at home on TV, we are

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:40.960
<v Speaker 3>looking at some folks who have a diaper fole between

0:40:40.960 --> 0:40:44.960
<v Speaker 3>their legs. Right anyway, Being a bit of a trendsetter,

0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:48.280
<v Speaker 3>when Olivia Rodrigo spoke up about fans flooding the zone

0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:51.319
<v Speaker 3>with the craptacular stench of their bowels, she started a

0:40:51.400 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 3>wave of other performers who came forward to say, yes,

0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.879
<v Speaker 3>I too have smelled the insides of my fans from

0:40:56.880 --> 0:40:59.719
<v Speaker 3>the safety of the stage. One of the artists was

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:02.719
<v Speaker 3>the same songwriter, Noah Kahan, the bearded singer of the

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 3>song Hurt Somebody, came forward to lectureus fans about dropping

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:08.440
<v Speaker 3>a deuce in their jeans at his shows. In a

0:41:08.480 --> 0:41:11.279
<v Speaker 3>post on X Noah said, and I quote, if you

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:14.120
<v Speaker 3>have to poop at a show, please, Dear God, just

0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 3>go to the bathroom. I've pooped my pants as much

0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:18.960
<v Speaker 3>as the next twenty nine year old. But you guys

0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:21.560
<v Speaker 3>got to understand there's a venue worker out there with

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 3>a thousand yard stare after dealing with that.

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Wait, I poop my pants?

0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Is that a lot I don't know, years old exactly.

0:41:32.680 --> 0:41:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Make a little look love burrito action down there that

0:41:35.840 --> 0:41:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I got. I got to commend him, though, because when

0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:40.160
<v Speaker 3>he took his brown wave of shame seriously, he brought

0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:41.879
<v Speaker 3>it up with his fans and I had a show

0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:45.160
<v Speaker 3>in Toronto. He recounted an incident from a previous show

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 3>in Philadelphia where some dookie droppings soiled the good vibe

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 3>at his show, and he made his fans in Toronto's

0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:54.120
<v Speaker 3>take a pledge that they would not soil themselves just

0:41:54.200 --> 0:41:55.439
<v Speaker 3>so they didn't miss the song.

0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Did you take a pledge?

0:41:56.640 --> 0:42:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes? No, it told us again, this is awkward, and

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:05.439
<v Speaker 3>this is fresh in more ways than one. You'll find

0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:07.759
<v Speaker 3>out in a second. When you entered this building, you

0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:11.080
<v Speaker 3>entered a social contract, right, and one of the big

0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 3>rule number two besides don't literally kill each other, is

0:42:16.040 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 3>don't on the floor. So that's right, Noah Kahan had

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:23.720
<v Speaker 3>to explicitly tell his fans not to on the floor.

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Did this happen just once? No all, it has multiple times.

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:29.960
<v Speaker 3>This is where we are at as a society, Elizabeth.

0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:32.680
<v Speaker 3>And he wasn't done. Noe also told his fans, so

0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:35.400
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna do some therapy type thing where we all

0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:39.000
<v Speaker 3>basically repeat after me. Okay. If you think you have

0:42:39.040 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 3>to shut on the floor, then don't repeat after me.

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:44.040
<v Speaker 3>I guess, but please don't do it, okay. And at

0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 3>this point, Noah then leads his fans in a serious

0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:49.920
<v Speaker 3>don't on the floor oath, and from the stage he

0:42:50.000 --> 0:42:52.960
<v Speaker 3>asked them to repeat these words allowed and so you

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:54.640
<v Speaker 3>can more fully get a sense of the scene, Elizabeth,

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:57.399
<v Speaker 3>I'd like you to repeat after me and Han's oath.

0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm ready, I'm gonna raise my right hand.

0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:02.359
<v Speaker 3>Okay, there we go. I solemnly swear.

0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I solemnly swear I will not my pants. I will

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:08.120
<v Speaker 2>not my pants and if I do, and if I.

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:10.439
<v Speaker 3>Do, I won't take it from my pants and put

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:11.160
<v Speaker 3>it on the floor.

0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I won't take it from my pants

0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:16.560
<v Speaker 2>and put it on the floor. Colly.

0:43:17.280 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 3>After he makes his fans take this solemn oath, he

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:22.600
<v Speaker 3>undercuts the whole thing because you see, he takes this

0:43:22.680 --> 0:43:25.080
<v Speaker 3>fake phone call from the stage, and the fake phone

0:43:25.080 --> 0:43:28.400
<v Speaker 3>calls from the National Center for IBS Colitis and Diarrhea,

0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 3>and Cahan says it's actually wonderful adult suffers from IBS. Well,

0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:35.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry, And then he admonishes his crowd.

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh you want, I would stand up and go triggered.

0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Mixed messages, bros message that I just took an oath.

0:43:45.480 --> 0:43:48.279
<v Speaker 2>So I have you know, what would you do if

0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 2>you saw someone pop in a squat? Oh yeah, and

0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:53.799
<v Speaker 2>just unleashing. What would you do?

0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Shove them into it?

0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I kick them clean that.

0:43:57.239 --> 0:43:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Up with the front of you.

0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I once I was at a Social Destroyer show and

0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:03.279
<v Speaker 2>there was a skinhead in the pit, and like you know,

0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:08.279
<v Speaker 2>social distortion is not not a skinhead kind of like

0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:10.520
<v Speaker 2>mess wouldn't stand for it, and the guy was just

0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:12.799
<v Speaker 2>pushing people around and here I am just a gal

0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:15.279
<v Speaker 2>standing on the side. When he came by it as

0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:17.000
<v Speaker 2>a circle pit. He came out and put my foot

0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:18.319
<v Speaker 2>out and he bit.

0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:20.840
<v Speaker 3>It went from like skinhead straped to skinhead.

0:44:20.400 --> 0:44:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Plump yeah, with like I hope you like the tooth fairy. Yeah,

0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:28.479
<v Speaker 2>something would be something like that. They're not in that

0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:31.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of motion, but if I looked over, I would

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:35.640
<v Speaker 2>just you know, I played soccer as a kid. Yeah,

0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean not from the I go across the top,

0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I go shoulder and if they're squatting.

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Down, I got you.

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm thinking I am just.

0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:47.399
<v Speaker 3>Pushing it, you know, like it was just.

0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:51.520
<v Speaker 2>There's that too or then you push him down and

0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:52.680
<v Speaker 2>then you poop on them.

0:44:53.000 --> 0:44:55.480
<v Speaker 3>That's too far, and then someone else poops on You're

0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:56.480
<v Speaker 3>part of the problem. Yea.

0:44:56.560 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 2>It is true, plain.

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Little stunt about the whole pooping thing. It was motivated

0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:05.359
<v Speaker 3>by Olivia Rodrigo coming forward about the crap and her

0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 3>craw but also, as I mentioned earlier, there was an

0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:10.759
<v Speaker 3>incident in Philadelphia at one of his shows, apparently at

0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:14.319
<v Speaker 3>Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park, someone in his audience filmed an

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:17.080
<v Speaker 3>actual crap that had been smashed and smushed across the

0:45:17.120 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 3>floor of the venue, and the fan filming it was

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:22.720
<v Speaker 3>aghast as you are currently and she said, and I quote,

0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:26.839
<v Speaker 3>what the yea show? Which is an appropriate response when

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:29.239
<v Speaker 3>you see smeared feces on the floor of a concert venue.

0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:31.719
<v Speaker 3>Since it's the Internet age, naturally, we do have an

0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 3>eyewitness account of this crap on the floor in Philadelphia.

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:38.480
<v Speaker 3>On Reddit, someone shared the story and I quote the

0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:40.680
<v Speaker 3>person who did this was one row in front of

0:45:40.719 --> 0:45:43.160
<v Speaker 3>me and Section AA, and I guess they didn't want

0:45:43.160 --> 0:45:45.000
<v Speaker 3>to miss a couple songs to use the bathroom, so

0:45:45.040 --> 0:45:48.280
<v Speaker 3>they just straight up themselves and started picking actual pieces

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:49.960
<v Speaker 3>of poop up out of their butt and put it

0:45:50.040 --> 0:45:52.960
<v Speaker 3>on the floor. She started trying to waffle stomp the

0:45:52.960 --> 0:45:55.680
<v Speaker 3>turrets and acted to if nothing happened, but we flagged

0:45:55.719 --> 0:45:56.440
<v Speaker 3>down security.

0:45:57.719 --> 0:45:57.799
<v Speaker 2>What.

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:01.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry that I had to read that out

0:46:01.520 --> 0:46:01.920
<v Speaker 3>loud to you.

0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 2>People are broken, But I know you're.

0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Curious, and I know that darkly you wanted.

0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:08.719
<v Speaker 2>To know, darkly really want to know. But people should

0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:09.560
<v Speaker 2>not be in public.

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so there you go. People are literally themselves that

0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:15.759
<v Speaker 3>they don't miss a single minute of Olivia Rodrigo or

0:46:15.840 --> 0:46:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Noa Kahan and other pop stars. And that's where our

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:21.080
<v Speaker 3>country and our culture is at music shows. They've become

0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:23.840
<v Speaker 3>so expensive that people want to get their money.

0:46:23.920 --> 0:46:27.959
<v Speaker 2>I've seen like online people talking about tickets to the shows.

0:46:27.640 --> 0:46:31.040
<v Speaker 3>So ridiculous, insane thousand, Yeah, it's insane, And therefore that's

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.320
<v Speaker 3>why people are dropping their pants and clearing their bowels

0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:34.959
<v Speaker 3>because they don't want to They want to get full

0:46:35.000 --> 0:46:38.080
<v Speaker 3>dollars worth, which also means that someone else then has

0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:40.360
<v Speaker 3>to clean up their mess, which they mentioned earlier. So

0:46:40.360 --> 0:46:42.120
<v Speaker 3>there are venue workers you have to go around and

0:46:42.160 --> 0:46:44.640
<v Speaker 3>mop up turns and puddles of piss from the floor

0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:46.440
<v Speaker 3>because someone else didn't want to miss a single second

0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:47.840
<v Speaker 3>of their favorite like K pop bands.

0:46:48.280 --> 0:46:49.759
<v Speaker 2>That's how disease spreads.

0:46:49.840 --> 0:46:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, to which I must implore these younger concert goers

0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:56.440
<v Speaker 3>sometimes the show.

0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Must not go on, agreed, right, So, in case.

0:46:59.480 --> 0:47:02.239
<v Speaker 3>You were wondering about attending a summertime concert series, I'm

0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:05.120
<v Speaker 3>here to inform you that you and I Elizabeth are,

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:07.399
<v Speaker 3>in the words of Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon, Yeah,

0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:08.160
<v Speaker 3>too old for this.

0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, isn't that the.

0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:14.200
<v Speaker 3>T I must now ask you, what's a ridiculous takeaway here?

0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:18.960
<v Speaker 2>All these people? Could you know, just be honest and

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:23.120
<v Speaker 2>not be in any of these terrible situations? Right? So

0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:26.080
<v Speaker 2>honesty is the best policy, is my takeaway. But also

0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:29.520
<v Speaker 2>when you asked me, like, what's my favorite euphemism? I

0:47:29.560 --> 0:47:31.799
<v Speaker 2>suddenly remembered one of the worst ones I've ever heard.

0:47:31.840 --> 0:47:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh what do you got for me?

0:47:32.800 --> 0:47:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Gorilla fingers?

0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:38.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh bored? Oh good lord, that's something I'm not going

0:47:38.400 --> 0:47:38.760
<v Speaker 3>to forget.

0:47:39.000 --> 0:47:43.560
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not. What's your ridiculous takeaway?

0:47:43.960 --> 0:47:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Gorilla fingers? I'm taking that one away. Unfortunately, I'm keeping it.

0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 3>It looks like looks like that's now tattooed.

0:47:50.880 --> 0:47:52.840
<v Speaker 2>It was I'd put it in a lock box in

0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:54.040
<v Speaker 2>my head, an.

0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Al Gore blockbox behind the key, and I was.

0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Just, you know, it was like, what what is what's it?

0:47:59.120 --> 0:48:01.640
<v Speaker 2>What's my favorite? Wait? Because I went to remember on

0:48:02.239 --> 0:48:03.399
<v Speaker 2>the air rage, one of.

0:48:03.320 --> 0:48:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Our first That's what I was kind of inspired by.

0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:07.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, I had to run through all these ways

0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.640
<v Speaker 2>to say it, and I thought of like childhood ones.

0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 2>But then I don't know if this one just kind

0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:15.720
<v Speaker 2>of dark memories coming forward.

0:48:15.920 --> 0:48:17.879
<v Speaker 3>I think I think producer he's actually crying right now,

0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:22.000
<v Speaker 3>just at the sound inside of these So you and

0:48:22.040 --> 0:48:23.919
<v Speaker 3>the mover were talking about we can wash this one away,

0:48:23.960 --> 0:48:26.759
<v Speaker 3>hit wash on this one. Produced you do what you

0:48:26.800 --> 0:48:37.160
<v Speaker 3>got for us? Oh god, oh my god, I went jee.

0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:44.640
<v Speaker 4>Some ridiculous history. In the eighties and nineties, Sweden military

0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:48.920
<v Speaker 4>repeatedly picked up suspected Russian sub incouragions into their waters

0:48:48.920 --> 0:48:53.680
<v Speaker 4>on sonar fifteen whole years. They poured resources into trying

0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:57.840
<v Speaker 4>to locate the subs but always failed. Why because apparently

0:48:57.920 --> 0:49:02.720
<v Speaker 4>these national security emergencies were being caused by herring farts.

0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:06.520
<v Speaker 4>That's right, huge schools of fish just tooting away under there.

0:49:06.760 --> 0:49:13.600
<v Speaker 4>That is ridiculous and on theme, thank you for that.

0:49:13.640 --> 0:49:16.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh I didn't know herring's farted, to be quite honest,

0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:18.319
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know fish farted. I guess they have to

0:49:18.320 --> 0:49:19.960
<v Speaker 3>expel gas like any other creatures.

0:49:20.000 --> 0:49:21.880
<v Speaker 2>They're just like gobbling error as they go.

0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:23.799
<v Speaker 3>And also they have the gas bladder that they use

0:49:23.840 --> 0:49:30.080
<v Speaker 3>for floatation. They eat a lot of beans. As always.

0:49:30.080 --> 0:49:32.120
<v Speaker 3>You can find is online a ridiculous crime on social

0:49:32.160 --> 0:49:35.560
<v Speaker 3>media that's mostly uh Instagram for pictures of what we mentioned.

0:49:35.800 --> 0:49:37.960
