00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: worst thing of anything. Yeah, it's worse than physical torture.

12
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: It's worse than anything. It's just kind of like an

Speaker 1: Italian lady. He'll go like this and looked at down

00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: and I wanted to jump over the edge.

16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: But what about my hookahs?

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,760

Speaker 2: I have your birthday present in my car because I forgot.

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,520

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: that would be incredible.

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going first, Okay, right, hoy hoy, I'm funny.

33
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: I'm a year one listener, not quite day one, but

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: I am from Western Australia and it always takes us

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: a while to catch up to the rest of the world.

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: I work at Fremantle Prison, which is where I'm writing

37
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: you from today on my life break. I promise we

38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: don't give a shit. Do your thing, Yeah, get paid

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: to fucking rite us. Firstly, I would like to acknowledge

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: the Woodjuck people as the traditional custodians of the land

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: on which Freemantle Prison is located. I pay my respects

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: to ancestors and elders both past and present, and the

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: ongoing connection between people, land, waters and community. I just

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: listened to your Rewind episode number ninety four where Georgia

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: covered David and Catherine Bernie fuck one of the Darkest

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: so bad, and decided it's high time I tell you

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: about my fascinating and ghastly workplace. Freemantle Prison was built

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: by convicts in the eighteen fifties and operated as Perth's

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: maximum security prison until its closure in nineteen ninety one.

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: Haunted by ninety two, it had been converted into a

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: tourist site and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Listed Building.

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: Our main cell block is in fact the largest convict

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: building in the Southern Hemisphere with an intact roof. Okay,

54
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: that's really specific.

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: You have to qualify. UNESCO isn't messing around with like

56
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: patios and stuff, but.

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: A fucking roof got ahead the roof, which goes to

58
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: show if you can be specific enough with your categorizations,

59
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: you can be the best at something that's right.

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: So who's the other one without the roof? Though? That's

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: really just one of those out courtyard prisons that are

62
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: so popular.

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: You know, those open air prisons.

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Yees. I think the prison from Papillon was open air

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: that sounds terrible.

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: David Bernie was a prisoner here from the time he

67
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: was incarcerated to the prison's closure. As he was at

68
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: risk of being harmed by other prisoners, three of the

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: old death row cells were converted into a private apartment for.

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Him, just to keep him inside. Yeah yeah, side note.

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: The death penalty was abolished in Western Australia in nineteen

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: eighty four. The last person to be hanged at Fremantle

73
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: Prison was Perth's most infamous serial killer, Eric Edgar Cook,

74
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: aka the night Crawler, who went on a four year

75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: killing spree from nineteen fifty eight to sixty three and

76
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: was finally executed in nineteen sixty four. How we never

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: heard of this and done it?

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: We must have sure both like looked it up. But

79
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: that's so early, yeah for a serial killer.

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: Totally interesting and purse which is like so far away.

81
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: Back to the Bernie's You may think a whole apartment

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: sounds like a pretty sweet deal for David, but it's

83
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: one of the dankest, most smelly, oppressive areas of the prison.

84
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: I usually say, if this place is haunted, the ghosts

85
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: sure aren't interested in me. But that apartment gives me

86
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: the heavy GBS. One of our tour guides had a

87
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: boyfriend who lived on the same street as the Bernie's

88
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: back in the eighties. She remembers walking alone a sixteen

89
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 2: year old girl to her boyfriend's house, seeing David Bernie

90
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: and waving hello, oh, which is like, that's exactly his type. Yeah,

91
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: he seemed friendly enough. Thank you for a decade of

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: your dear voices in my ear holes. If we can

93
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,960

00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: I bet the post office is haunted somewhere.

107
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Everyone's had to work. Everyone's got a

108

111
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: Totally?

112
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: Okay. The subject line of this email is random hippie

113
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: crashes my mother's college graduation in seventies California. Oh god, right,

114
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: I have to pick that one. It says, hey, y'all,

115
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: my mom graduated from U SEE Santa Cruz, home of

116
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: the fighting banana slugs, in the late nineteen seventies. She

117
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: graduated with a bachelor's in biology, continuing the theme of

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: people on her side of the family studying botan wow,

119
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: which I of course ended by majoring in theater down

120
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: here in Texas. And then it says I'm smart. I

121
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: promise I had her graduation ceremony a local woman who

122
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: didn't attend the school, just lived in the area, was

123
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: known as the Cosmic Lady. She made her way on

124
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: stage to the microphone and told the audience that the

125
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: sky lab was falling.

126
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: Oh wait wait, sorry, that what that sky lab was.

127
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: Falling, which was well, I'll tell you about it in

128
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: a second, and if they all concentrated together they could

129
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: keep it from falling. A Spanish language professor calmly met

130
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: her on stage, walked her down to the audience, and

131
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: sat her next to him in the front row, keeping

132
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: his arm around her for the remainder of the ceremony

133
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: to keep her from ambushing the stage again, and that

134
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: man was Paul Onions just kidding, He wasn't. So here's

135
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: the explanation. And the reason I know about Skylab so

136
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: well is because Skylab was a space station that was

137
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: up in the right around nineteen seventy nine.

138
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: It was like a field trip thing for you.

139
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: It was you know what it was. I once played

140
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Liza h in my friend's musical about the last night

141
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventy nine Halston's New Year's Eve party that

142
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: they had at the what's the famous disco, oh fifty four, Yeah, studio.

143
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: It was called Waiting for a Studio fifty four and

144
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: it was like everybody getting together before they go out

145
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: for the night. Yeah, and I, as Liza Minelli sang

146
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: a song called sky Lab is Falling.

147
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: How are we just hearing about this?

148
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: Well, it's just a generational thing because it was like

149
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a weird It was like the kind of pseudo Haley's

150
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: comet accident thing that was happening.

151
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you played Liza Minelli. Well, there's been

152
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: plenty of times for you to fucking mention.

153
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: That, and now I do the song. No, but this

154
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: it's such a weird thing because apparently in real life

155
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: because they were all on a lot of coke. Sure

156
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: at the time, Liza was obsessed with the fact that

157
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: sky Lab was falling and she thought it was going

158
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: to fall on her, and it was this weird paranoia.

159
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: She was, I don't know what that means.

160
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: Here's the full explanation, instead of just me talking about

161
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: a play I was in once, So me, here's the explanation.

162
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Spot I did a musical. As you may already know,

163
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: Skylab was a space station operated by NASA for several

164
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: years in the seventies and was the only one they

165
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: operated exclusively without foreign companies involved. It did end up

166
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: falling in nineteen seventy nine, landing in a remote area

167
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: of Australia outside of Perth. The fuck outside of Perth.

168
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: And like we're talking, we're talking about ceilings and buildings,

169
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: and now we're talking about you know, the.

170
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Sky meet me on the astral plane. Man. I guess

171
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: they didn't concentrate hard enough at this one specific college graduation,

172
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: which honestly makes sense. So the woman was basically saying,

173
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: if we all focus, we can get this thing not

174
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: to fall. And it hadn't falled yet. It was like

175
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: in the process they knew and I thought she like, no,

176
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: she was like guessing, yeah, no, No, it was like

177
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: on the news every.

178
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: She was like, y'all, yes, it's fucking scary.

179
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Get ready because it could fall anywhere. My mom, not

180
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: a talented storyteller, just repeats things when my family asks

181
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: her for an explanation. I love, Yeah, well, skylab falling

182
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: was falling. When somebody invariably asks who the cosmic Lady was,

183
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: my mom replies with, you know, the cosmic lady that

184
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: would drive me insane. Yeah, as if we were there

185
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: in the seventies and forgot about it and are being

186
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: little shits about it. My mom is a very straight

187
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: least Christian woman who continually surprises me by knowing how

188
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: to differentiate by smell different strains of marijuana. She's a mystery.

189
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: She's the cosmic lady.

190
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: That's what I like.

191
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: That's what it's Probably her popular came to her graduation. Lady.

192
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: If you know pot that, well, the Christianity probably came after, right, Okay,

193
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: that's all judgment. My girlfriend got me hooked on listening

194
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: to your podcast a year ago, and I'm so glad

195
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: she did. Best wishes, Emily.

196
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: Emily in the Skylab, I learned something new.

197
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,080

Speaker 1: Yeah, especially the people that were on cocaine all the time.

201
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: That was a big part of it. Especially Eliza Minelli.

202
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 2: She's specifically worried about She.

203
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: Was specifically worried about it, and it was affecting. She

204
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,920

00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: of her her trailer because she thought Skylab was going

206
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: to fall. She just wanted to stay safe for the cocis. Yeah,

00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: was going to have to explain to my mom why

264
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,320

00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: how I learned to use a cell phone on the fly.

266
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: As we drive away, my dad chuckles and says, well,

267
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: that was close. Then he reaches over and opens his

268
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: glove box to show us at least thirty unpaid parking

269
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: and speeding tickets.

270
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Oh jesus, you getting flashbacks. Well, I just thought it

271
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: was going to be like my cousin Lisa, where one

272
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: time I opened her glove box and it just bags

273
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: of weed fell out, and then she's she like slammed

274
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: it back up and goes, that's not mine. I'm holding

275
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: it for someone. And I didn't know what it was

276
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: because I was like seven years old. Seriously, It's like,

277
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: can you just take me to four? Ah?

278
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I thought it was like not that much,

279
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: but you were a little kid, so you were like

280
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: it was.

281
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: Bags and bags. It seems like bags and bags, like yeah,

282
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: but it was also nineteen seventy eight, so it's just like.

283
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: Shitty weed anyway, yeah, stems and seeds. I never told

284
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: my mom this story until my dad's celebration of life,

285
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: where we all laughed and reminisced about what a rascal

286
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: my dad was. My dad was my best friend, and

287
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: I think about him and miss him every day, but

288
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: his memory lives on in me, my brother, and my

289
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: children as a lifelong resident of Wichita. I also have

290
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 2: fun stories about the BTK killer Dennis Raider, including how

291
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: the police thought my mom was a victim spoiler alert,

292
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: she wasn't. Diana is still alive to this day, and

293
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: how he taught my husband to make fire as his

294
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: boy scout leader and says, thanks Dennis. But this story

295
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: about my dad means so much more to me and

296
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: gives me a chance to talk about what a funny,

297
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: crazy dad I got to have, stay sexy and always

298

00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: throwing them in a thing and being like, I'll deal

302
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: with it later.

303
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: There is nothing like this era from like the eighties

304
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: through the mid nineties of divorced Dad. That it's all

305
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: trash Dad, because they didn't know what the fuck they

306
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: were doing.

307
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was kind of they were blazing a

308
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: new tree rail of ways, to live life right and

00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: it's it sounds like it's very salt of the earth.

330
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,240

336
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,880

00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: adh people find each other no matter where they are,

338
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: and it absolutely described you and I'm meeting for the

339
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: first time. It is the funny, one of the funniest

340
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: things I've ever seen. Okay, Anyway, I was working for

341
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: my chiropractor back home in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. We were both

342
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: Turkish American, so our relationship was more friendship than strictly professional.

343
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: He loved telling me wild stories about the celebrities he'd adjusted,

344
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: complete with photo evidence. Oh my god, I would just

345
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: sit there wide eye celebrities he's adjusted. Can you imagine it?

346
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: Hip a violation for sure? For sure, except he's a

347
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: chiropracticge so maybe there's no agreement.

348
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: It can't be no agreement, no friends, chiropractors.

349
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: It's just all vibes. It's all Turkish vibes. He got

350
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: invited to work on celebrities at a nearby horror convention

351
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: and asked me to come along as his assistant. He

352
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: told me he wouldn't know which celebrities he'd be working

353
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: on until the day of, but honestly, I didn't care.

354
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: I was just thrilled to be there. It was my

355
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: first ever celebrity convention. Passipity.

356
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 2: It's one of the ones where like Thisnce goes to

357
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 2: those we're like people from movies, from TV shows and

358
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: the sixties come and like take photos with you and

359
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 2: sign things.

360
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a horror movie one, right, It's like if

361
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: Bella Lugosi was alive.

362
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: He'd be there, and uh, that's all you got.

363
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: Freddy Krueger exactly. Yes, Okay, I could have pulled his

364
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: name if I had had fifteen seconds. But the menopausal

365
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: brain is just like just the lights are shutting down.

366
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 2: Okay.

367
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: When we arrived, I had a couple hours to wander

368
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: before I had to report back. In that time, I

369
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: had a lovely conversation with Michael Constantine, the dad from

370
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I also met John Aston,

371
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: the original Gomez from the Adams Family, who was also

372
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: Sean Aston from the Hobbit movies, his dad Butch Patrick

373
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: Eddie Munster, and awkwardly promposed with Dean Kin from the

374
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: Lois and Clark TV show.

375
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not that's like a.

376
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: Solid B plus level. It is, although Dean Kine it

377
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: says this was pre Trump, so I was fully geeking

378
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: out over Superman with his big arms around me. Okay,

379
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: Then it says I met back up with doctor Kent.

380
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: He casually tells me he's going to bring me up

381
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: to Linda Blair's hotel room while he adjusts her. I

382
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: don't think I need to explain that what the Exorcist

383
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: means to a horror fan, but just in case, it

384
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: is my favorite horror movie of all time, and at

385
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: twenty seven, with completely unmedicated ADHD and zero emotional regulation skills,

386
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: I was not equipped to handle this level of autistic joy.

387
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: We go up to her room. I sit in a

388
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: chair next to the bed while doctor Kent starts adjusting her.

389
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: I try to keep it together. I really do but

390
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: I can't, so I blurt out something like, I can't

391
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: believe this is happening. The Exorcist is my favorite horror movie.

392
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: And that's when it happens. Linda Blair is lying on

393
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: the bed across from me as doctor Kent cracks her

394
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: neck violently to one side. Well that's an adjustment.

395
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you put it also sounds like the movie. Yes.

396
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: She suddenly shoots upright, locks eyes with me and his

397
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: is stop talking about the fucking exercis. Oh no, that

398
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: should be cool, and then slams herself back down on

399
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: the bed. I cannot begin to describe the emotional cocktail

400
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: I experienced in that moment. Terror, shame, embarrassment, all of

401
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: the above, but more importantly, I am now watching Linda

402
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: Blair's head move in deeply unsettling directions on a hotel bed,

403
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: So I shut the fuck up. She says something after

404
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: that about the movie being about faith and evil, but

405
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: I fully dissociated at that point. After a few more

406
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: minutes of adjustments and me sitting there in absolute silence,

407
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: she gets up, walks over to me and apologizes her

408
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: exact words. She was sorry for quote going all Exorcist

409
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: on my ass and all right. She explained that she

410
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: has a lot of trauma tied to the film and

411
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: was also in a great deal of physical pain. Then

412
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: she opened her arms and we hugged it out.

413
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: Ah.

414
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: They say never meet your heroes, but honestly, even though

415
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: this encounter went horribly wrong and nothing like I imagined,

416
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: I would also argue that it was absolutely the perfect

417
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: way to meet Linda Blair, not just the icon, but

418
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: the perfect human. And on that note, stay sexy and

419
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: let the power of Christ compel you. Duigu. She her, Wow,

420
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. She's getting her neck adjusted. And

421
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: then everything that just got described literally sounds like that

422
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: horrible scene in The Exorcist. And she remember we covered

423
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: this in probably episode eleven or something. She hurt her

424
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: back really badly those scenes.

425
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: Oh god, and that's why she needs a chiropractice.

426
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Yes, she's young. In that movie, she got flipped all

427
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: over the place like it wasn't good. And then now

428
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: years later, it's like she's trying to get a foxing adjustment.

429
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: Here's a reminder of why you're even in this position,

430
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: and it's.

431
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I love your movie.

432
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: Okay, counter argument, she's at a horror convention. Of course

433
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: someone's going to talk about the Exorcist, but non private room.

434
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, it's understandable. And then

435
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: it's just like, the thing is that I think like

436
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: somebody like Linda Blair, it's like, and I bet you

437
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: she was in the middle of it, but she's like,

438
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: she's an icon, and it's hard to know. She doesn't

439
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: know she's an icon. She's like, oh, this is just

440
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: a movie that fucked my back and NECKA yeah, but

441
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: actually people are just like I this is my favorite

442
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: genre man girl. Also, I love that it was like

443
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 1: the full story there, because it would have sucked if

444
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: it had just been like and what a bitch for

445
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: doing that, where it's like no, no, no.

446
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: No, she wouldn't have been, but it was. It's very

447
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: cool that she was also lovely. Yeah, okay, this one

448
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: is oh my last one is one of my favorite stories. Okay,

449
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: it's got a lot of different things that we've asked

450
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: for around the years. I'm not going to reach to

451
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: the subject line. When I was in middle school, my

452
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: mom randomly told us we were going to the pound

453
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: to find a dog. We found the cutest little black

454
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: dog whose origins we did not know, but he looked

455
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: like a mix between a black lab and a wiener dog.

456
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: We named him Otis.

457
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: That's a great dog name.

458
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: Such a good dog name. Yeah, my friend is a

459
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 2: cat name Otis. That doesn't matter, Okay. Otis would like

460
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: to get out of our dog door and then sneak

461
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: out of the fenced in backyard and take himself on

462
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: walks around the neighborhood while we were at school and work. Yeah,

463
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: it's unfamiliar.

464
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

465
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 2: He would come back on his own when he was ready,

466
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 2: or be returned to our parents by some nice neighbor

467
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: who would simply call my mom. So no big deal, right, Well,

468
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: one day he escaped to go on his adventures around

469
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: the neighborhood, but this time did not return. My family

470
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: searched for him for days, and then that turned into weeks,

471
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 2: and this time no one called. My three year old

472
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: nephew was living with us at the time and that

473
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: dog was his best friend, so naturally he was crushed.

474
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: My parents stopped by the pound every day for weeks

475
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: looking for him, with no luck. They had given up hope,

476
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 2: not sure what to do, when one day my mom

477
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: was driving past the penitentiary in our town. The penitentiary

478
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: was located out of the way, so it was random

479
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 2: that she took the route right by it that day,

480
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: and while driving, she looked over and yelled, hey, that

481
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: looks like otis. She was looking at the yard inside

482
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: the penitentiary. She whipped the car around, parked, and walked

483
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: over to the fence about thirty yards from where an

484
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: inmate was training a little black dog and yelled, otis.

485
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: He came running over immediately. There was still a large

486
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 2: fence with barbed wire in between them, but my mom

487
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: knew it was our otis. It's the first line you

488
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: asked for dogs in prison, so here is a story

489
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: for that.

490
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: We did well, but I think it was the thing

491
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: of like you know that that's a program that they do,

492
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: of like training dogs.

493
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: Wait, there's more, Okay. She asked the inmate how he

494
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: got that dog, and he quickly and nervously said, you

495
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: need to speak to the pound and ran off. He

496
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 2: could get into a lot of trouble for speaking to

497
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: someone who is randomly standing outside the fence. Fair enough, yes,

498
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: So she drove over to the pound immediately. This is

499
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: so fucked up, and after much insistence. They finally told

500
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: her that the dog she had been inquiring about was

501
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: in a program called Prison Pups, where an inmate is

502
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: assigned a dog from the pound and trains them to

503
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: be ready for a home, and in exchange, the inmate

504
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: gets time off their sentence.

505
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: So they knew that that dog was in the prison

506
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: the whole time that they were checking in.

507
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 2: But wait, there's more. Okay, this is one of those

508
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: like the story we talked about, like the woman keeping

509
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: the dog she found that didn't you know, it's like,

510
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: what would you do? But this is actually really bad. Okay, okay,

511
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: But the lady who was running the pound at the

512
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: time insisted that the dog was not Otis. We think

513
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: they had put a lot of time slash paperwork with

514
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: Otis to get him into the program, so they did

515
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: not want to pull him out. At this point, she

516
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: had like a quota to meet of dogs to get

517
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: put in this prison program, and so.

518
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: She was fucking taking people's Also, you know, I have

519
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: the story of George climbing that goddamn fence, and that's

520
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: what she would do. I think people get really mad

521
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: if that, if they look at you as like you're

522
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: a terrible pet owner and the people that are sincerely again,

523
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: please go listen to my story about what was actually

524
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: happening with George. But when dogs get out like that,

525
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: they could get hit hit by cars. So there's I

526
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: think there was a neighbor in my neighborhood when I

527
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: had to go spring her from the Parapan day because

528
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: they're just like, you can't have a dog if your

529
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: dog is going to get.

530
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: Out all the time. Sure, I stole I accidentally couldna

531
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: have a cat for that same reason. I'm like, there's

532
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: no outdoor cats in this fucking neighborhood. There's coyotes everywhere. Yeah,

533
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: and I wasn't wrong.

534
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: You're just trying to do some good in this world.

535
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: That's right.

536
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: Me and Salem, we're now fucking bonded for life. Okay.

537
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: My mom, not one to let down, return the next

538
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: day with a full thirty page photo album of Otis

539
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: with our family. My mom loved her camera, a lot

540
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 2: of the photos being of Otis with my nephew, and

541
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: to seal the deal, she also brought my little three

542
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: year old nephew with her. A little heartbroken boy looking

543
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: for his dog must have finally melted the stubborn employee's heart,

544
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: and she gave in and admitted that the dog was

545
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: in fact Otis. Fuck. I mean, the fact that the

546
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: woman came for weeks every day to the pound shows

547
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: you that this was a dog that was loved, you

548
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's not like no one came

549
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: for him.

550
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: But almost like it's the more that person comes, the

551
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: more that the person who made that decision right has

552
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: to stick by it and has to tell themselves, like,

553
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: but she would think it didn't happen for a couple

554
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: weeks at least, because they have time to sign Otis

555
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: up for this program.

556
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: Were they hiding Otis?

557
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it sounds like it. Or she was

558
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: like Otis already got funneled into the program. It's crazy.

559
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 2: They agreed to give him back after we paid one

560
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars fee. Of course, the employee also

561
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 2: tried to charge my mom an additional two hundred and

562
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 2: seventy five dollars for a neutering fee. We had to

563
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: get him nutered when we got him years before, so

564
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: this was already done. Oh, in which my mom replied, quote,

565
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: that is strange. I did not know you could cut

566
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: their balls off twice. The lady again relented and removed

567
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: that fee. When all the paperwork was done, they opened

568
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 2: the door and Otis ran into the arms with my

569
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: nephew and knocking him down with joy. My little nephew

570
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 2: was in tears. Otis returned home and never escaped again.

571
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: He's like, sorry, I'm not going back to place.

572
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to go to prison, guys.

573
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: I thought I was going to like a fucking candy

574
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: factory or something, or like a chicken roasted chicken place.

575
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 2: He grew old with his little boy for several more

576
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: years until the ripe old age of sixteen. My mom

577
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: too has since passed, but she was never one to

578
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: give up on her family, especially a boy and his

579
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: best friend. Otis lived an adventurous life and we have

580
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: many more stories, but this is the one about how

581
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: he got locked up, did hard time, and eventually broke free.

582
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for all you do and for.

583
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: Providing such a great space to return to every Monday

584
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: and Thursday and Wednesday. Stay safe and don't give up

585
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 2: the search. Maybe even look in the pen, Love Laura.

586
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: And then there's a picture of the dog and it

587
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: also says PS my mom's name was Vicky with an

588
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: eye at the end.

589
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: Nice.

590
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: There's a look and he looks traumatized, like oh man,

591
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 2: He's like, listen, I've made some bad decisions.

592
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: At least I'm here with my friend again. Look at that.

593
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: Look at how eighties and nineties that comforter is that

594
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: he's laying. It looks like one of those cups, doesn't it.

595
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: It's like, get some ice, get some sprite that dog. Also,

596
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: the odds of that dog being outside while she drives

597
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: by totally like that's fate where it's like it just

598
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be in that program.

599
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, get him off the streets.

600
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: So funny. Okay, here's my last one, and this is

601
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: if that story had all the elements of things we love,

602
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: this one does too. The subject line is nineties prom

603
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: money Machine k Pals. You want money Machine stories? How

604
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: about one with all the hairspray glamour of the late

605
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety Yes, just like in all the iconic teen

606
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: movies of that great decade. Prom was a big deal

607
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: at our Colorado High school. My junior year nineteen ninety

608
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: nine saw my date and I, along with most of

609
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: our friends, in the theater department renting a double decker

610
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: bus to help us arrive at the dance in style.

611
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 2: My god, it's so embarrassing they would even find that

612
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 2: in Colorado.

613
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: How much money did they have to pay a lot

614
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: of money to get a double decker bus?

615
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: I'm already worried though, tell me.

616
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: But for all the Jessica McClintock dresses and awkward slow dancing,

617
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: the real main event was after prom, and that's capital

618
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: a capital p Our. School's PTA was incredibly dedicated to

619
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: ensuring that, unlike in those classic movies, their kids would

620
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: not spend the rest of the night drinking and making

621
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 1: out in someone's unfinished basement or worse, out on the roads.

622
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: Oh sorry it says finished basement. I'm from a different

623
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: car on town.

624
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: I want to go a party in an unfinished place.

625
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 1: That's where all of ours. There was always like a

626
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: can of like a weed killer on the on the wall.

627
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: As you were at.

628
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: Slow dance, washer and dryer you've ever seen.

629
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they pulled the car out. You go in there,

630
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: you start slow dancing. They planned for weeks to completely

631
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: transform the school into an unbelievable wonderland, which they would

632
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: quickly install within a mere twelve hours while we were

633
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: prepping and preening, snapping photos, pretending we belonged in a

634
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: fancy restaurant, and then dancing away at some event hall

635
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: after prom was a chance for us kids to kick

636
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: off the high heels, change into jeans, but keep the

637
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: carefully applied makeup and curled hair intact, of course, and

638
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: really let loose. There was always a different theme, and

639
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: the year Story takes place, that theme was movies. Think

640
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: themes are so fucking ridiculous. It's either movies or underwater.

641
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: Those are the basically the two themes. What about hot dogs?

642
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 1: Hot dogs? Can't we roll in some hot dogs? How

643
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: about Picasso as a theme modern art? Think of car

644
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: cutouts and benches lined up for the hallway drive in,

645
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: projecting grease onto a giant screen and serving popcorn and candy.

646
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: A James Bond themed casino where you would sip mocktails

647
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: in martini glasses. Wow. A Titanic room with a paper

648
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: miche iceberg and a ship's bow where Captain Smith would

649
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: marry you and your date, complete with cheap plastic gold

650
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: rings and a fancy printed certificate.

651
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: Damn.

652
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: The official entrance to this particular after prom dropped you

653
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: right into Jurassic Park. Wow, this rich kid's school, it is,

654
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: You and your date would climb into a blow up

655
00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: raft to paddle across the school's pool pool. What we

656
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: didn't even have a cafeteria for fox sake.

657
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm from a rich fucking down and we didn't have

658
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: a fucking pool pool.

659
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: Which was lined with palm trees and dinosaur cutouts, fog

660
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: rolling across the water, and the movie's iconic theme song

661
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: blaring from the speakers. It was amazing. Steven would die,

662
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: Steven would not survive. But amid all this Hollywood hoopla,

663
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: where's the money machine? You might be thinking. It all

664
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: ties back to that Double O seven casino where you

665
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: could gamble and earn chips that you then exchanged for

666
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: raffle tickets. All the usual prizes were there, from restaurant

667
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: and Starbucks gift cards, to CDs to autograph sports memorabilia,

668
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: and then in parentheses it says these parents really did

669
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: work hard to make this a can't miss event. Yeah,

670
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: they fucking did. I want to go, But there was

671
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: one prize that stood out from the rest all caps

672
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: A chance to go in the money machine. And guess

673
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: who was lucky enough to win one of those turns.

674
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: That's right, yours truly, so into the machine. I stepped

675
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: in front of all the students assembled in the gym

676
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: for the events grand finale. This was my chance.

677
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: It turned Wait, what's this person's name? I want to.

678
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: Picture Lindsay with lee? Why Lindsay? So, this was my chance.

679
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: It turned on and the ringlets from my updo flu

680
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: but my rhinestone Tierra held fast. However, I had chosen

681
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: to change from my shiny satin ball gown into a

682
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: spaghetti strap tank top and boot cut jeans from Express,

683
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: I didn't have a chance of ballooning my shirt and

684
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: capturing all those fluttering bills. In the end, I was

685
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: lucky enough to snag about twenty dollars, which was plenty

686
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: for me to treat my date to breakfast at Village
