1
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome.

2
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: It's my favorite murder the minisode I saw your brains,

3
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: your eyes, search your brain real quick.

4
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: Hey, is anyone in there? I asked, and echoed and echoed.

5
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 4: Hey, it's Monday.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: It's Monday, and we're recording some minisodes just for you.

7
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: That's right, okay.

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: My first email, the subject line is the drunkest, dumbest

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 3: bank heist in Nova Scotia history. I love it, and

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: then in parentheses it says, featuring my great uncle Freckles.

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Fucking amazing already are you ready?

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: Hi, Karen Georgia and the entire exactly right universe. I

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: always appreciate hearing Canadian tales on MFM, and since Karen

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: actually knows Nova Scotia exists and shared the tale of

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: the explosion, I have a lesser known piece of crime

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: lore from my home province. It's nineteen thirty two. Oh

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: my god, what the name of this town is out

18
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: of control? But then they gave the phenetic.

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: Scared the shit.

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry. It scared the shit out of me too.

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: It's nineteen thirty two in shoeben Acady, in Shubenacady, no

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: subanacaty Subanacady.

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Novascanal made just to get you to.

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: Say that in Shubenacady Nova Scotia, which do you want

25
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: to go to schuben Actiny to go to the dairy Queen?

26
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: You can't tonight have to go to Shubenactady.

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: Because the tim Hortons in suben Actony. It is those

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: my favorite tim Hortons. Okay, so it says it's nineteen

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: thirty two in suben Actony Scotia, which is honestly the

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: most intimidating part of this history, which is the pronunciation

31
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: my great uncle Gerald Freckleton. It's this whole thing, a

32
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: scam known to friends and apparently the as Freckles decides

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: to rob a bank, why because his brother in law,

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: Sydney ray Fuse, got fired from the Royal Bank of

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: Canada for financial irregularities. Instead of reflecting on his poor decisions,

36
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: he says, let's rob the bank that fired me. And

37
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: Freckles says, sure, why not? I mean we're here in

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: cuban Actony, nothing else to do.

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Kicking it.

40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: They recruit a getaway driver named Edson Boutillier, a small

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: time crook on parole. So an unsuccessful small time crook.

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: This was their plan, and in parentheses it says, I'm

43
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: being generous refuse would pretend to sell insurance, stay in

44
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: the bank after closing, forcing the manager to unlock the

45
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 3: door to let him out, except Freckles and Edson would

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: rush in, tie everyone up, and grab the cash and

47
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: the bank's ledgers to quote negotiate a pardon. Freckles and

48
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: Edson would escape and burn the getaway car. Don't worry,

49
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: it's insured. And because this plan wasn't unhinged enough to escape,

50
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: they would change into women's clothing off the police. And

51
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 3: then in parentheses it says, because of course, law enforcement

52
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: would see two drunk, soot covered men in dresses and

53
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 3: crooked wigs and say, ah, yes too, completely unrelated women

54
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: who definitely did not set a car on fire. Shockingly,

55
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: this plan falls apart even before it starts. After initially

56
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: agreeing to the crime, Edson panics about going back to

57
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: prison and decides to tell the Hall of Police everything.

58
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, just leave, you don't have to be

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: a snitch.

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: You don't have to snitch, buddy was panicking. The police say, great,

61
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: go through with it anyway. They give him a car

62
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: and an unloaded gun in parentheses, safety first, and they

63
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: tell him they will stop them in the car on

64
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: the way to the robbery, find the weapon, and arrest

65
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: them on criminal intent. The police, however, do not do that.

66
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: Freckles and Edson travel together, drinking on the way so

67
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: Sidney could go alone and fill his role a victim.

68
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: As they are busy drinking and driving and not being

69
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: stopped by the police, Edson tries to avoid committing the

70
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: crime by driving into a ditch. So they're going along.

71
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: He's pretending he's going to go, but no one's stopping them,

72
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: so he's panicking, so he drives into another ditch. Another

73
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: farmer pulls them out and doing a good deed. The

74
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: farmers of Nova Scotia are unwittingly helping these criminal masterminds

75
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: reach their destination. However, the Halifax Police, now accompanied by

76
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: the RCMP, weren't trying to stop the robbery. They want

77
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: the publicity of catching the robbers in the act. They

78
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: are hiding inside the bank, five grown men in a

79
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: broom closet, waiting, waiting for a long time, all.

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: In that one broom closet.

81
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: Finally, Freckles and Edson stumble into the bank drunk enough

82
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: to miss the entire village on their first pass, and

83
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: the police immediately open fire.

84
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: WHOA.

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: Freckles is killed instantly Jesus turned quickly. Edson is shot

86
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: in the shoulder, but manages to stagger outside, yelling you

87
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 3: double crossed me like he fell straight out of a

88
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: soap opera. A nearby doctor stops a police officer from

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: finishing him off, and later points out that the bullet

90
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: holes in the bank don't match the police story that

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Freckles fired first the police. The newspaper says, the death

92
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: certificate says shock from gunshot wounds inflicted by police, justifiable homicide.

93
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 4: Holy shit.

94
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: Edson survives, heals up and tells the press everything He's

95
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: never charged refuse, goes to jail for criminal intent. The

96
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: five police officers involved are demoted or transferred, none of

97
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: them lost their jobs, and in the most poetic twist

98
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: of all the victims of this crime, the bank manager

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: and staff are later fired for financial irregularities. So in

100
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: the end, literally everyone involved was terrible at their jobs

101
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: except the farmers. Holy stay sexy, vet your criminal accomplices

102
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 3: and avoid financial irregularities.

103
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Kelly, Wow, that was an epic trail. Isn't that so good?

104
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: It should go much slower, and that that actual drive

105
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: time to the bank is your act.

106
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: One is the whole thing, and I want to see

107
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: you know what I want to see in it is

108
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna number his name.

109
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: Is it a Canadian? No? That yeah, I guess it

110
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: has to be a Canadian.

111
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: Huh.

112
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean you don't have to, but be nice. His

113
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: name Brendan Fraser. No, from Fargo. I guess I'm Martin Freeman.

114
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: No, but I'm picturing Fargo in a lot of ways,

115
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: in the same kind of Vein william No.

116
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: Steve Bushemy, Oh, he would be great in this, right, yeah,

117
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: I think freckles. Freckles for sure.

118
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: Although he dies at the end, It's true. Nobody wants

119
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: to see Steve BUSHEMMI die at the end. They learned

120
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: that in The Big Lebowski. Right.

121
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: Oh, Okay, my heart's still broken.

122
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: Okay, hi, ladies, I love you and you both rock.

123
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: I honestly don't know if this is considered a long

124
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: one or not, but hopefully it's worth it. I've written

125
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: in a few stories about my mom, and I have

126
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: another for you. The time her dream prevented us from

127
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: being robbed. One night, my mom had a super vivid

128
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: dream that our house was on fire, so she gets

129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: up to check that everything is all right. She searches

130
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: every room of our three story house for hot outlets

131
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: Campbell's left burning curtains too close to the heater everything,

132
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: and didn't find anything that was out of place. A

133
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: little uneasy, but convinced the house wasn't going to burn down,

134
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: she goes back upstairs and lays down to go back

135
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: to sleep. As she's laying down, she hears the signature

136
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: creak of the bottommost stare.

137
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 4: Oh, you know, you know.

138
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: Your house so well that you're like, that's a sound

139
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: that it shouldn't be.

140
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Making, right, that's absolutely something.

141
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: I love knowing a house that well.

142
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fun feeling.

143
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: And then they say, like, if you think there's someone

144
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: in your house that shouldn't be there, don't turn the

145
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: lights on, because you know the fucking house than the plan.

146
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: We're better than they do.

147
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: They're the ones having to sneak around. Yeah, that's a

148
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: good idea.

149
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 4: Walk into your fucking couch and shit.

150
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: You get up there and you pull a home alone,

151
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: you start rolling out those marbles.

152
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: That's right, grab your tarantula, Oka, get it going.

153
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: You know that tarantula you love?

154
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: Okay, down the hall to the stairs, and sees a

155
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: man in all black walking down them. She screams for

156
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: my dad and says that the guy didn't even look

157
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: at her, just calmly walked out the sliding back door.

158
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: My dad comes running out in his underwear with the

159
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: baseball bat that they keep next to their bed. It's

160
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: the middle of winter in Minnesota, so he didn't chase

161
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: the man outside, but we promptly called the police, who

162
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: showed up with search dogs. They followed his scent to

163
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: the neighborhood over but never ended up finding him. It's

164
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: terrifying to think about my mom alone in the dark

165
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: walking through the house while this man was there. She's

166
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: a badass and has no fear when it comes to

167
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: protecting her family. The next night, she reclaimed her safety

168
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 2: by sitting in the kitchen all night with the doors

169
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: unlocked and the lights on, saying, come get us, motherfucker.

170
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: Nice.

171
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm ready for you.

172
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: This sign She's like, I'm not going to be held

173
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: captive by nighttime or like the similar circumstances I'm gonna

174
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: like empower myself and have a.

175
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Baseball bat, stay sexy, and listen to your dreams.

176
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: Leah, Wow, Yeah, that's intense. I think that would be

177
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: a great thing. If you have a story about a

178
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: person in your house, please write in and.

179
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: Tell us because I had my old friend Malva.

180
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: Is someone being in your house when they're not supposed

181
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: to be?

182
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I've told you the story probably four

183
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: to five times over the last ten years.

184
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: That's a bad memory.

185
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm in perimenopause, my old it's all new.

186
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: My old college roommate, Malva had a friend because they

187
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 3: lived out in Roseville, which is like the country up

188
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: above Sacramento, and her friend was in her house one

189
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: night by herself and went to walk down the hallway

190
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: and there was a man at the other end of

191
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: the hallway and she just like something came over her

192
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: because she was like, I'm not gonna be able to

193
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: fight this man whatever, So she just started making the

194
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: weirdest noise she could and like super loud and super

195
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: weird and like squatted down and the man like ran.

196
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: Out of the house.

197
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: Because essentially, she's like the odds that this person might

198
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: be on drugs are pretty good, right, So now I'm

199
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: just going to fuck with his head totally and scare

200
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: him instead of him scaring me.

201
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: It's a fucking choice, and it's not a bad one.

202
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, she kicked us. Yeah.

203
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: Wow, that's so I can't even imagine what I would do. Like,

204
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: that's just so scary. I know, it's sot it. I

205
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: hate it.

206
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Well this is good news because the subject

207
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: line of this email is Denver Night two Meet and Greet.

Speaker 3: going to read the rest. It says Hi Karen and

214
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: Georgia and mfm ERM team. I was so overwhelmed and

215
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: nervous at the meet and greet. I was barely able

216
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 3: to talk to you, but knew I had to give

217
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: you a little tidbit about my hometown. Sorry to hit

218
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: and run. Here's the full story. So this was someone

219
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: who started this story and then basically we were like,

220
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: wait what you walked away my favorite type of person.

221
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: I lived in a small suburban town in Kansas with

222
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 3: my single mother around two thousand and three two thousand

223
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: and four. As we live somewhat near my elementary school,

224
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 3: my mom and I would walk there to their most mornings.

225
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Almost every time.

226
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: We walked by this particular house, a man would stand

227
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: on his porch and wave as we passed by. On

228
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: a few occasions, he and my mom stopped at chat

229
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 3: for a while as I waited impatiently at her side.

230
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: Even at only nine or ten, I always thought he

231
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: was a creep and hated getting stuck there while they talked.

232
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 3: As I said, it was a small town, so it

233
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: didn't seem strange when we started running into him multiple

234
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: times a week. We'd see him at the park while

235
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: he was working. He had a city job at the

236
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: grocery store. At church events, he became friendlier with my

237
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: mom at each meeting, and although I never felt any

238
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: concern for her during these encounters, she told me privately

239
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: after a particularly strange run in near our home to

240
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: never go anywhere near him ever.

241
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 4: Cool.

242
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: So, Mom, you and I are picking up the same

243
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: thing this guy's putting down.

244
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: I got the baby bad vibes and you've got them,

245
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: Mommy bad.

246
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: Vib fully developed ones to affirm those.

247
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: We eventually moved thirty minutes away and they didn't keep

248
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: in touch. But it wasn't long before we saw him again,

249
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 3: because not a year or two later, he was plastered

250
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: all over the news. Our neighbor, Dennis Raider, the infamous

251
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: serial killer BTK, had been arrested for his slew of

252
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: murders in the Wichita area between nineteen seventy four and

253
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one.

254
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: It was Jnis fucking Raider.

255
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: She was getting eight year old bad vibes from BTK,

256
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: which is.

257
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: So creepy, Tea, because like, he did look like your

258
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: normal neighbor. He didn't look creepy at all. I know

259
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 2: that he was weird, but like, yeah, you're just walking

260
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: by and there's guy in his front yard, that.

261
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: Guy the dogcatcher who also goes to our church. Yeah,

262
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: don't ever talk to him, go nowhere near him.

263
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

264
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: Okay, it's just that thing of it's almost like a

265
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: scary rollercoaster or whatever, where it's like, could you what

266
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: would it feel like to have the hairs go up

267
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: on the back of your neck? For somebody to that

268
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 3: level of danger. Yeah, because that's a full psychopath. Yeah,

269
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: how what would that experience be?

270
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know, I have chills.

271
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: Okay, as most of us, murdering us know, his dumb

272
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: ass was caught after sending letters in a floppy disk

273
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: directly to the police, and then it just says eye roll.

274
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: As an adult, I had friends who worked at the

275
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: prison in El Dorado. They said he was overall a

276
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: decent inmate, but smug and annoying as fuck. If you

277
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: let him open his mouth long enough, stay sexy, and

278
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: don't accidentally befriend a serial killer.

279
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: Morgan.

280
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 4: I want to hear from the mom.

281
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, what did they talk about the what was

282
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: it the first time?

283
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,479
Speaker 4: Where she was just like chills?

284
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: That man was so craven and horrifying evil.

285
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, his daughter's book is really good if you Oh, yeah,

286
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,440

00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: My father is a serial killer?

288
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: Probably not that Georgia's did a serial killer's daughter, Yes,

289
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: a serial killer's daughter, Thank you, Molly nice.

290
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 4: All right, here we go. I'm not gonna read the

291
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: subject line.

292
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: Y'all, Hello everyone, love you all. I started listening sometime

293
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: in fall of twenty sixteen, and at the time I

294
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: thought I.

295
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 4: Was late to the game. Hellol.

296
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: I grew up in Texas and my mom is totally

297
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: the reason I'm a murderingo. Throughout my childhood, she would

298
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: watch Forensic Files to help her fall asleep because she

299
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: found it soothing. Hi it is nowadays she uses the news,

300
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: and my dad, siblings and I all agree that Forensic

301
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: Files was the healthier choice for real, although we're glad

302
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: at CNN and not Fox News. My mom sent me

303
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: a Fox News article today, of course, and I'd like,

304
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: I don't open these links, Mom, why are you spamming me?

305
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: Okay?

306
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: I squealed and called my sister as soon as Georgia

307
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: announced she was covering the Gwyneth palcher Ski trial. Because

308
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: my parents now live in Park City, Utah, and my

309
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: mom and her friends were sitting in court throughout most

310
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: of the trial.

311
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

312
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: I was at home with a three month old glued

313
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: to the TV, pointing to the screen and showing my daughter, look,

314
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: there's honey. She's three now, and it would have been

315
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: way more fun if she'd been old enough to know

316
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: what on earth I was talking about. I got several

317
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: texts from people who recognized my mom in the background

318
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: of the trial, and it was entertaining to find out

319
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: who else was tuned in. My mom even made T

320
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: shirts with Gwyneth's picture that said hashtag gwinnocent.

321
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: Oh my God, Oh my god, g.

322
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: W y nnoc and d gwennos is she know?

323
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: No? That's too good.

324
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: I mean it's really good plan words but also very

325
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: strong stance.

326
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: Yeah to wear.

327
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: While the verdict was red, my favorite part of the

328
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: whole ordeal was that she made it into the background

329
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: of the photos of Gwyneth patting Terry Sanderson on the

330
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: back and saying, I wish you well.

331
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: She's in the photos.

332
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: She's the Zelig of this case.

333
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: If you look for her, she has dark hair pulled

334
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,479
Speaker 2: back and is wearing a black T shirt coat and glasses.

335
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: Amazing.

336
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: You have to find her.

337
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: I got such a kick out of the whole thing.

338
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: My mom is so crazy, but in a fun way.

339
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: This was the perfect entertainment at three months postpartum. Thanks

340
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: for everything you do. I can't even beget to describe

341
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: what this podcast has meant for me over the past

342
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: ten or technically like nine point five five years, or

343
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: to list all of the major life events that y'all

344
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: have experienced with me. But just know we all love

345
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: and appreciate you too and everyone at ERM XO xo

346
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: Izzy she her.

347
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: Thanks Izzy Zzie.

348
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: Also, that is a real fun mom where it's like, well,

349
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: it's happening in our town. Let's go down there and

350
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: see what's going on.

351
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I don't mind my own business. I want

352
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: to fucking hear everything about it. Let's get wear a

353
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: shirt about it.

354
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: It's low stakes true crime. Let's get into it. Okay,

355
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: here's my last one.

356
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: Okay.

357
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: It says thank you from the Twin Cities subject line, Hi,

358
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: Karen and Georgia. I started listening when you only had

359
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: about five episodes out, and I never stopped. There are

360
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: lots of things I would thank you for, but today

361
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: I felt compelled to write and thank you for talking

362
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: about the situation here in Minnesota. When you first started

363
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: to talk about everything, I considered skipping ahead for once

364
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: because I didn't want to hear yet more people talking

365
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: about how awful things are here. Thankfully I didn't. It

366
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: is extremely stressful here every single day work at a

367
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: swim school with kids who are primarily three to ten

368
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 3: years old. Here in Saint Paul. We have a large Somali,

369
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: Latina and Mong populations that we work with every day.

370
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: These lessons are only a half an hour once a week,

371
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: but the relationships we build with our swimmers can be

372
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: extremely strong. I've worked here for almost five years, and

373
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: in that time, I've had the privilege of watching so

374
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 3: many kids grow, from literal babies who can't talk to

375
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: elementary schoolers who are learning to do the butterfly. I

376
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: love my state and living in the Twin Cities, but

377
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: these last few months have been absolutely devastating. Every day

378
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: a new family calls to drop their swim lessons for

379
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: the rest of the quarter because they're too scared to

380
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 3: leave their house. Anytime a family doesn't come to class,

381
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: we worry until we hear from them again. We try

382
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: so hard to keep a sense of normalcy for the

383
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: kids and pretend everything is fine, but even they are

384
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: feeling the stress and noticing what's happening around them. The

385
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 3: other day, of four year old noticed the whistles on

386
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 3: the adults around him and asked his mom, are we safe?

387
00:17:59,240 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

388
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 3: Another student school currently has an attendance rate of thirty

389
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: percent because the rest of his classmates are too scared

390
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: to leave their homes. We have a website saved on

391
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: our phones that notifies us of ice sightings nearby. Every

392
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: large window tinted vehicle is a potential threat. My friend

393
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: hasn't been sleeping at their house for days because a

394
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 3: man was shot by ice right outside and they don't

395
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 3: feel safe anymore. A coworker has witnessed someone being detained

396
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 3: three different times on his way to work. The government

397
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 3: tries to tell us that they are doing this for

398
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: our own good and to prevent crime, while targeting nurses, teachers,

399
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: and families. If you ask anyone who actually lives here,

400
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: they would tell you that these people make our cities

401
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 3: more vibrant and stronger. They are some of the strongest, bravest,

402
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 3: funniest people you will ever meet. It is absolutely heartbreaking

403
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: and rage inducing to watch them be targeted so aggressively

404
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 3: just for trying to live their lives. Being in the

405
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: middle of it all, it's hard to know how the

406
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: rest of the country views what's happening here. Although our

407
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: sense of community is strong, it feels like we're screaming

408
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 3: into the void all alone. Normally, we're quick to offer

409
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: aid and advice to those new to the cold. We're

410
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: usually even willing to offer a ride to people we

411
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 3: don't like that much just to keep them from being

412
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: out in the cold. But right now, one of the

413
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: few things we take comfort in is watching ice agents

414
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: slip on ice or get stuck in the snow. It

415
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 3: might seem small and silly, but choosing not to help

416
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 3: as an act of resistance against these outside forces invading

417
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: our lives. So I wanted to thank you for recognizing

418
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: our strength and kindness during these extremely traumatic times. Minnesota

419
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 3: is not perfect, and sometimes Minnesota Nice is actually just

420
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 3: being passive aggressive, But every.

421
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 4: Day I love Minnesota Nice.

422
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 3: Incredible self awareness in the midst of this very powerful email,

423
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: but every day we strive for Minnesota Nice to mean

424
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: being kind, resilient, and optimistic in the face of minus

425
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: seventeen degree weather that feels like minus forty three degree weather,

426
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 3: and then, in parentheses, the actual conditions outside as I

427
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 3: write this, Oh my minus forty three Thank you for everything.

428
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: They want us to feel helpless and scared, but even

429
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: your little shout out helps keep me from giving in

430
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: to the grief that threatens me daily. Thank you for

431
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: reminding me that we aren't alone here and that what

432
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: we say and do really matters. Thank you for seeing

433
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 3: us SSDGM kat.

434
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that means so much to me. Yeah,

435
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: everyone Twin Cities should know that US coastal elites out

436
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 2: here in California are fucking cheering you on and are

437
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 2: so impressed.

438
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: And watching it.

439
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: The way that, like, especially for me, is being a

440
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 3: TikTok addict. The way that people on TikTok are reporting

441
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 3: the actions and the news, and the way those communities

442
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 3: are organizing at a level that needs to.

443
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: Be studied, and it's getting other communities here and all

444
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: over the country. It's giving them, it's showing us how

445
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: to do it here too, so we're like taking their

446
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: direct experience and using it. Like in my neighborhood there's

447
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: apps and then there's like the tech threads and stuff

448
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: like that, and.

449
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, just yeah, it's amazing.

450
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: What the fuck is this country?

451
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: Well, that's just it. I think we're starting to see

452
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: what this country is. And the majority of this country

453
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: are people who are like, hey, how about you go

454
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 3: fuck yourself if you think you're going to come here

455
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: and snatch people off the street.

456
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: Totally totally Yeah, Well, I have a total fucking one

457
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 2: to eighty. I'm not telling you the title. Hey, starting

458
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: off with compliments. I am a huge fan of you

459
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: both and have been listening from the start. This podcast

460
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: has been a center point through high school graduation, two

461
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: engineering degrees, and the transition into full time work in adulthood.

462
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: It's crazy how much has changed in ten years, but

463
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: you guys have always been a constant. Now onto the story.

464
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: A few years ago I matched with a guy on

465
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: Hinge and we immediately hit it off. He invited me

466
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: out on a date to a local brewery, where we

467
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: met up and talked for hours about everything from loathing

468
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: unnecessary road trip breaks to our love of animals.

469
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: Necessary road trip break.

470
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: That's actually a perfect match. If you're trying to really

471
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 3: align with something totally, It's like, are you going to

472
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: be driven crazy by a person who's like, oh wait,

473
00:21:58,840 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: I need to get a cap.

474
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 2: My dad wants to stop every like half an hour

475
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 2: to stretch his legs, and you're just like, no, we

476
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: have to get there, like, get me my lunchables and

477
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: then let's fucking go. I told him all about my dogs,

478
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: then began rambling about my childhood cat Harry, a stray

479
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: cat had kittens in our neighbor's garage, so my parents

480
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: let my siblings pick one to rescue, who was later

481
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: named Harry because of one direction. He didn't adapt well

482
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 2: to being stuck in the house, so he became our

483
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: happy little indoor outdoor cat. Harry is infamous on the

484
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: local Facebook pages and is well known in the neighborhood

485
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: for soliciting belly rubs and begging for treats.

486
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 4: It's the neighborhood's cat. I love that.

487
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: When Harry was twelve, he started having trouble moving and

488
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: he was diagnosed with diabetes. Our neighbors regularly feeding him

489
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: treats probably did not help. Now he has to have

490
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 2: insulin injections twice a day, but is healthy enough to

491
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: patrol the neighborhood again. My day gave me a weird

492
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: look once I finished explaining, and I immediately regretted getting

493
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: on the diabetic.

494
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: Cat topic on your first day.

495
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: He could sense my own and then smiled at me,

496
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 2: asking what my last name was. I hesitated when saying

497
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 2: my last name, because you can't trust anyone these days, SSDGM.

498
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: Before he even reacted to my last name, I said

499
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: all caps. Oh my god, are you Harry's pharmacist. I

500
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 2: knew he was a pharmacist at a local pharmacy, but

501
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: I hadn't put two and two together. We'd started dying laughing,

502
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: and he told me that he had most definitely met

503
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: my dad, because that's where you get your animals medications from, yeah, pharmacy.

504
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 2: I talked to my parents later on, and my dad

505
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 2: knew exactly who he was and only had great things

506
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: to say. We started dating, and a few months in

507
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: my dad started telling people my daughter's sleeping with our

508
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 2: cat's pharmacists.

509
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Dad get on.

510
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: I was mortified, but my then boyfriend thought it was hilarious.

511
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 2: My dad didn't realize how weird it sounded, and proceeded

512
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 2: to keep telling people that throughout our relationship. We are

513
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: now very happily married with our first baby on the way.

514
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 2: They have to name it Harry. It's a girl on

515
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: the way. Just hoping he will stop telling people I'm

516
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: sleeping with our cat's pharmacist. The evidence is pretty damning now, though,

517
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: I hope you enjoyed the story now that I can

518
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: laugh about it instead of dying of embarrassment. If you

519
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: read this, I will be playing this in the car

520
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 2: to see how long it takes for him to realize

521
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: it's our story. Oh you too, truly are the best

522
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 2: and have made such an impact on my sanity.

523
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 4: Stay sexy and sleep with your.

Speaker 1: Childhood for cat's pharmacists. See see how cute is that?

Speaker 1: It's so cute?

526
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 4: Could you hope?

527
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: Well, yes, because in that moment where you're on a

Speaker 3: date and then this is very corny, But who fucking

00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 3: cares at this point in the world. The thing that

00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: makes you go, oh no, I just ruined it. I
