You know, by the way, 10 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: the process of creating this podcast, to be honest, could 11 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: be the subject of a whole season of this podcast 12 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: for sure, you know, for those of you guys who 13 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: don't know, and why would you know. I got pregnant 14 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: on the day that I was alerted that Guy and 15 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: I had won the next Great podcast competition, and so 16 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: hooker Gate all along has been tied with New Life 17 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: literally and metaphorically. I'll be honest, I don't really believe 18 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: in cosmic signs. I mean, you know that. But if 19 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: I did believe in cosmic signs, that pregnancy on the 20 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: same day is winning this podcast competition certainly would have 21 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: been one. 22 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: Before we get started. Let me say I had a 23 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: very young child when we started this whole process. I 24 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: think my son was about eight months old when we 25 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: first started on the competition pilot, and so I didn't 26 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: personally know what it was like to be pregnant, but 27 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: I knew, you know, my wife's experience being pregnant and 28 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: knew how difficult that was. And I definitely knew how 29 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: difficult it was caring for an infant. But I never 30 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: had a moment where I was worried that you wouldn't 31 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: be able to do what you do. I know how 32 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: motivated and hard working you are, and I know what 33 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: you accomplished when you had your first child, so I 34 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: knew it was going to be hard for you. But 35 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 2: there was never a doubt in my mind that you're 36 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: going to pull it off. 37 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: Man. Thank you. I really appreciate that vote of confidence. 38 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: I knew I would pull it off too. 39 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: And we have. We have, so I say, we go 40 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: ahead and get into it. 41 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: Let's get into it, all right. 42 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: So everyone has gotten to know Lindsay as the narrator 43 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: and the storyteller and voice actor in this podcast, but 44 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: a lot of you may not know much about Lindsay 45 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: and her history and career to this point. So why 46 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: don't you just give us a quick rundown of who 47 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: you are and where you've been. 48 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: My name is Lindsay Byron, And first of all, if 49 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: you really want to get to know me, and if 50 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: you enjoy my writing, by my masterpiece, the best writing 51 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: I've ever done. My life story Too Pretty to Be 52 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: Good by Lindsay Byron, sold wherever books are sold online 53 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: that I'll tell you everything, but let me give it 54 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: to duck Wick version. I'm from Danville. As I state 55 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: in the podcast, I had a difficult youth. My dad 56 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: died suddenly when I was sixteen. It was absolutely horrible 57 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: and incredibly formative. My mom pretty much died too as 58 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: far as that went, so it's fair to say I 59 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: was fairly orphaned. Like a lot of kids, you know, 60 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: in a situation like that, I got tangled up with 61 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: all the wrong things, bro you know, predatory asque grown 62 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: men who would get me, you know, hooked on terrible 63 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 1: hardcore drugs. Meanwhile, I was always this, you know, great student. 64 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: I just loved school, the straight a's. I made straight 65 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: a's my whole life until I was a senior in 66 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: high school and was getting my ass beat by my 67 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: boyfriend and then, by the way, I was making straight f's, 68 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: and it bears noting that no one noticed or cared. 69 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: In fact, I had a reputation in school as the 70 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: high school slut. My teacher of the literary magazine that 71 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: I wrote for this dude was married to a former 72 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: high school student, by the way, and at Christmas that year, 73 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: my teacher gave me knee pads as a Christmas gift. 74 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: What actually happened knee pads and said, because he imagines 75 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time on my knees. My god, 76 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: isn't that something. Yeah, So I had a chip on 77 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: my shoulder, and the moment I graduated high school straight away, 78 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: I decided that I was gonna take this bad reputation 79 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: and weaponize it and just lean into it. So I 80 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: promptly started stripping. I mean, listen, I was in a 81 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: strip club so young that I wasn't allowed to drink 82 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: alcohol in that bitch though I was, of course, you know, 83 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 1: drinking white zinfandel, which is what a kid drinks. And 84 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: I stayed in that world on and off for a 85 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: whopping sixteen years. 86 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: That's a really long time. 87 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's a long time. In the meantime, 88 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: I got a PhD in English, you know, which is 89 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: the three degrees had to get a bachelor's and master's 90 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: in a PhD. And by the way, I only got 91 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: all the English degrees because all I ever wanted to 92 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: do was write. And so let me actually underscore that, 93 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: because I tell my life story and kind of like 94 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: what I forefront over and over is being a stripper, 95 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: and what I really was and what I've always been 96 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: is an artist. All I ever wanted to be was 97 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: a writer. And I thought, well, you become an English 98 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: professor and then you can write your books. This was 99 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: not actually how things panned out. I finished my PhD 100 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: and actually rewind. I started my PhD, and the first 101 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: day of that program, the head of the department, this 102 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: dude stands up in front of all of these grid 103 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: assistants and literally says, there are no jobs for any 104 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: of you. So it became quickly, you know, obvious to 105 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: me that I was not actually going to have a 106 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: career in the academy. And then I found this thing 107 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: pole dancing, that I was real good at, and so 108 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: I started posting videos on Facebook. But I made a 109 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: fake account because I didn't want people to find Lindsey Byron. 110 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: You know, I was working at Georgia Tech by the 111 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: way at this time, and so I made this fake 112 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: in this fin stuff you know as you would call 113 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: it nowadays, on Facebook, and I named it lux Atl. 114 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: People ask me all the time, where did I get 115 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: the name lux To be honest, I really just like 116 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: the way it sounds. You know, it's sharp, it's short, 117 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: it's three letters, but incidentally it means light and lux 118 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: Atl ended up being one of the biggest lights of 119 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: my life. I started posting these videos on Facebook and 120 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: them shit started going viral. This was before the days 121 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: of influencers. This wasn't like a career or even a word. 122 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: I do not think the word existed. 123 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely not. 124 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: This was like twenty twelve. Around that same time, I 125 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: convinced my poor husband to give me the go ahead 126 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: to start stripping again, which he didn't want to do. 127 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. 128 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: And guess what murdered it. I was making money, so 129 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: I was, you know, posting this stripper life on Facebook too, 130 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: and so then I started thinking, huh, wonder if I 131 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: can make money off this whole Facebook bang. I invented 132 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: a workshop called strip Craft, changed my life entirely. Toured 133 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: that workshop all over the world. All over the world. 134 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: I toured that workshop, created a large fan base that way, 135 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: and from there, lux at Al became my career. Now 136 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: that was almost a decade ago. From there, you know, 137 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: I taught workshops, and then the workshops turned into retreats, 138 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: Strip Cabin being the first of those retreats, and then 139 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: Strip Cabin created Strip Cabana and Costa Rica, and then 140 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: the next thing you know, I'm you know, renting a 141 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: whole island in Belize. So now my professional life is 142 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: one in which make most of my money hosting what 143 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: I call strip trips, getaways for grown women, for normal 144 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: ass women who want to go somewhere, do something fun 145 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: for themselves with a gang of other goals, have some 146 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: sexy fun in a safe and encouraging environment. People often 147 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: ask me, like, what is this shit? Is this like 148 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: lesbian orchies. No, it's not, and like, by the way. 149 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 2: That's just what the husband's wish it was. 150 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: It is. I can't tell you. I've had clients like 151 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: show up at retreats and be like my husband says 152 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: that whatever happens here is fine. I'm like, okay, but like, 153 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: this ain't the place, and I like really, so that 154 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 1: you know is sort of a long winded way of 155 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: telling you who I am. Lux Atl is the person 156 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: that the world knows now Lindsey Byron has seemed like 157 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: practically a secret. In fact, I'm pretty protective over that name. 158 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: I don't really like to be called Lindsay, though I'm 159 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: kind of leaning into Lindsay now as an artist. Mm hmm, 160 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: So who you're talking to is Lindsey. But the person 161 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: that the world has kind of rewarded is lux And 162 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: that trajectory is really what drew me to this story. 163 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: My own, my own personal trajectory. 164 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: So let's start talking about Hooker Gates. Yeah, in the 165 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: very first episode, you tell us the story about your 166 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: unnamed friend ambushes you with a binder full of old 167 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: news clippings of this salacious story that happened in your hometown. 168 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: When this happened, you were at a you were home 169 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: for your grandmother's funeral. 170 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: Yes, that's correct. 171 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: How soon did you realize this was actually a real story? 172 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: Right then and there immediately? So my unnamed friend, which 173 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: I realize is an awkward phrasing, who I'm talking about 174 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: was initially totally down to be involved in this and 175 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: then pulled out, doesn't want to be named or any 176 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: of that, which, by the way, has been a theme 177 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: of this whole project. So my friend, you know, she 178 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: had been telling me for years that she had this story. 179 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: And at that time, I was writing my own memoir 180 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: running a business. You know, I was smiling and nodding, yeah, okay, great, 181 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: sure you got a great story, but I got my 182 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: own shit. Rather dismissive. Well, as you said, my friend 183 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: had found in her mother's trunk, her dead mother's trunk, 184 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: a massive collection of fifty year old news clippings, like 185 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: just raw news clippings that she then took the time 186 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: and the money to have scanned and placed into a 187 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: bound notebook. Not a easy or cheap endeavor, by the way. 188 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: And so she handed me this bound book and said, 189 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: this is what I've been telling you about. I've been 190 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: telling you I got a story for you. This is it. 191 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: And I start flipping through this and bro, I mean 192 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: straight away, I'm like, hold on, truck stop, brothels. Then 193 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: I flip a little bit more and I'm like the 194 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: commonwealth attorney, Yeah, who is you know where the buck stops? 195 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: When it comes through the law in an area. It 196 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: took me all of five minutes to just read the 197 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: first little articles I came across in that book to 198 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: know immediately this is gold. But the moment that I 199 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: got a holt to these stories, I was at that funeral, 200 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: and then guess what. Leaving that funeral, I was going 201 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: straight to the beach. It was my family, my nuclear family, 202 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: me and my husband. I would say kids, but it 203 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: was just a kid at that time. We go to 204 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: the beach every year, same beach in North Carolina and 205 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: the Outer Banks, and like, the whole point of that 206 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: beach trip is to sit on the deck and read. 207 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: I took that note book, bro I set on that 208 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: deck for two straight weeks at that beach, and I 209 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: read every line of those news articles. And by the 210 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: end of that vacation, I truly thought this is about 211 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: to take up the next decade of my creative life. 212 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: Wow. 213 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: Really, I don't know how, I don't know in what form, 214 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: but I know this is the best, most compelling raw 215 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: material that I have ever had my hands on outside 216 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: of my own life story. 217 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: What made you think a podcast would work well for 218 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: telling this story versus writing a book? Which you had 219 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: already done, or any other sort of medium. 220 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: The number one reason that I chose to a podcast 221 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: is because my favorite creative medium is oral storytelling. But 222 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: also I always had a long game vision for this project, 223 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: which by the way, I still do, so hey, powerful 224 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: people who are listening right now, pay attention. My long 225 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: game vision was, Okay, we put out a podcast, and 226 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: I'd already had a fairly sixful podcast that i did 227 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: all on my own strip cast. Get some interest in 228 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: the story via the podcast, and then turn that into 229 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: a book. And my ultimate goal is to turn this 230 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: into a series. To be honest, I think it would 231 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: make us sick. HBO series. It is just begging to 232 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: be prestige television. Oh yeah, it is begging to be 233 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: prestige television. 234 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: So you clearly had a vision for like wanted to 235 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 2: do the podcast, And I remember when you called me 236 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: the very first time, you had a real vision for 237 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 2: what you wanted the podcast to sound. 238 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: Like. 239 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: I think when I tell people that I'm working on 240 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: a podcast, they usually think Joe Rogan kind of thing, 241 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: a couple of people shooting the shit and like, how 242 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: hard is that? And I'm like, that's not what this 243 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 2: is at all. So you mentioned soundscapes, original music. Do 244 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: you use the word cinematic frequently as you're talking about it? 245 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: And these are all the things that got me excited 246 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: about it. So what was your inspiration for that vision 247 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 2: and how did the finished product compare to what you imagined? 248 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: I am proud to say that this finished product is 249 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: pretty damn close to the vision that we started out with. Awesome, 250 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: and in fact, it may even be better. 251 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: It's better than what I imagined it was going to 252 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: be when you explained it to me. 253 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: I think that you and I have both grown a 254 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: ton as artists, absolutely, and I think that with every 255 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: episode we just got better and better. 256 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: Definitely. 257 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: I may sound pretentious here, but honestly, I wanted to 258 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: create a work of art. Back in the olden days, 259 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: there were radio shows that were similar to what we're doing. 260 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: By the way, oh yeah, this is like before TV, right, 261 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: And when I was a young woman, somehow I became 262 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: privy to a number of cassette tapes that had these 263 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: old radio shows on them, and it was like you'd 264 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: listened to these radio shows and that there were plot driven, 265 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: they had sound effects, they had scores, and I'm no 266 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: expert on the history, but it seems that they were 267 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: the foundation and inspiration for television m H. I wanted 268 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: to create an immersive world that would allow the listener 269 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: to feel like a fly on the wall, and even 270 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: more importantly than that, I wanted these listeners to be 271 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: able to have some emotional investment and connection to these characters. 272 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: I also wanted to hear human eyes and portray as 273 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: complexly as possible the individuals that appear in this story. 274 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: Take Joe Whitehead, for example. In the papers in the 275 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: court documents, it ain't favorable, right, but even Whitehead, I 276 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: wanted to do the best I could to understand. And 277 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: by the way, yo, I am sure I missed some 278 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: marks because I'm just using my imagination mixed with the 279 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: facts available to me to try to understand. But for 280 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: all of these people, I wanted to make them complex 281 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: human beings in a world that the listener would press 282 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: play on this podcast and for about thirty to forty minutes, 283 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: they are just transported to Danville, Virginia, a gravel parking 284 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: lot outside of a truck stop. 285 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: You refer to this genre of podcast as docu trauma. 286 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: What do you mean by that? 287 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: I use that term deliberately to indicate the fact that 288 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: in this podcast there are scenes where people are having thoughts, feelings, 289 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: private conversations. You know, I'm having to make that shit up, Okay, 290 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm doing the best that I can to understand these 291 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: people and what they might be feeling. And I'm, by 292 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: the way, dig in deep dog to try to read 293 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: the facts of the case and then depict to the 294 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: best of my ability, what a normal ass person like me, 295 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: like a complex human being, would feel and think in 296 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: these situations. Here's how I have created this these scenes. 297 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: I did a ton of research, firstly into these news articles, 298 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: which numbered in the hundreds. Secondly, into the mother load 299 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: the official court transcripts of the Rico trial, of the 300 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: federal trial of the quote unquote Big six that's Whitehead, 301 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: Holly and the truck stop operators. And in those primary 302 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: documents a number of scenes are described. For example, one 303 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: of my favorites in court and in the news, they 304 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: recounted a time in which Janet was having a appointment 305 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: with Joe Whitehead and he told her that he owned her, 306 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: and Janet quote unquote was not happy with that, and 307 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: in turn, Joe stood on top of the bed and 308 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: started jumping up and down until the bed broke. Okay, 309 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: those are the facts of the mantain. That's the raw 310 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 1: material I was working with. Now that is recounted in 311 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: the news. Okay, so I'm assuming that's fact. I take 312 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: that fact and then I depict it, and I want 313 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: to put you as the listener there, and I want 314 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: to try to imagine, like what does that feel like 315 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: to be Janet? 316 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 317 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: And what does it feel like to be Joe? 318 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 2: Like? 319 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: Why the hell? Like, where where are you at in life? 320 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 2: Dude? 321 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: If you are in this powerful of a position politically, 322 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: but somehow you were so far gone that you're jumping 323 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: up and down on a bed, screaming at a woman 324 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: that you own her until the point that the bed breaks. 325 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 2: Even just hearing those facts stated, even if it's dry 326 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 2: like a newscast, it is salacious enough. But the process 327 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 2: of dramatizing it as we did, to show the chaos 328 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 2: and the you know, the sounds and just brings it 329 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: alive and just totally transforms it into something so much 330 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: more than a straight podcast. If you were softly talking 331 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: like an NPR reporter talking about how he owned her 332 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 2: and dropped on the bed. 333 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: Dude exactly exactly, And so that's why, you know, I 334 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: want to be up front and clear that you know 335 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: these conversations that characters are having while in bed together, 336 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't know what they 337 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: actually said to one another. Who can ever know? And 338 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: that's the drama part of the docu drama. For me, 339 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: to make this story something not only immersive, but something 340 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: that a listener would emotionally invest in, it required some 341 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: imaginative creative writing on my part, definitely, hence the term docudrama. 342 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 2: I remember when you originally told me about the project, 343 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 2: you were expecting interviews to be a pretty big part 344 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 2: of the process. You've hinted that a little bit. But 345 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: why don't you tell us about what the process was 346 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 2: like one finding these people, asking them to do interviews, 347 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 2: what the reactions were, how did that go? 348 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: You know what? We got to talk about Facebook again 349 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: because one of them ways that I found found Rodney, 350 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: the way I found Rodney, which, by the way, Rodney, 351 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: if you're listening, and I'm sure you are, shout out 352 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: for just being an awesome human being, Like I legit 353 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: have so much respect for you and you were so 354 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: nice so I go on Facebook. I'm going I start 355 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: looking into groups like you know you're from Danville when, 356 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: and like Pittsylvania County History all right. I start finding 357 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: those sorts of groups. I go into the groups and 358 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm making posts like, Hey, has anybody ever heard of 359 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: this dude? Rodney? He was a reporter for Gretney Gazette, 360 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: and in fact, he was the editor for the Gretny Gazette. 361 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 1: Has anybody heard of this case? And I'm just dropping 362 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: this information that I have. A Couple weeks later, I 363 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: got an email, Dear doctor Byron. I am Rodney Smith, 364 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: the reporter that I think you're looking for, and if 365 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: you'd like to talk, here's my number. I look forward 366 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: to speaking with you. So finding Rodney was easier than 367 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: I thought. Now there were other people that I talked to. 368 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: Some I would talk to for months, actually, people who 369 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: knew me as lux strangers to me. I was starting 370 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: to get in boxes, being like, hey, dude, y'aught to 371 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: talk to my mom? 372 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 2: Wow. 373 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. There was one particular individual that I came in 374 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: contact with who what she told me is that she 375 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: lived in the house with one of the pimps okay, 376 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: namely Tommy but that she had not, you know, engaged 377 00:26:54,320 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: in the sexual labor. I mean, ain't gonna try to 378 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: pull it out of you because you know, I don't know. 379 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: But her claim was that she hadn't, but that she 380 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: had a lot of information. You know. What I wanted 381 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: from this particular individual was insight into the women's lives, 382 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: because that's what you don't get. Yeah, I mean, the 383 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: people on trial are all the men. Okay, you get 384 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: very little insight via the news or the court transcripts, 385 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: like what these women were experiencing. Now I take that back, 386 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: the court transcripts give you. The court transcripts finally gave 387 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,239 Speaker 1: me insight. But the news articles, which was all I 388 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: was working with at that time, it's just you know, 389 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: unidentified women, the prostitute, you know. Yeah, And I knew 390 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: that I could not make a podcast that is involving 391 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: this much sex work and just treat these women like 392 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: background characters. Yeah, Like, I could not do that. That 393 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 1: would be to my mind, ethically unresponsible. And you know, 394 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: I mean like I felt like I was one of 395 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: these broads. If look, if I was in Devil in 396 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: the seventies, boy, they would have snatched me up so quick. 397 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: I would have been in one of them truck's ips, 398 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: no problem. Oh, as a perfect kind of I mean, 399 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: I was a troubled young woman. I was a troubled 400 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: young woman who was very susceptible to the charms of 401 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: older men who made me feel like I was somebody. 402 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: And I thought, I bet that's what most of them 403 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: women were like too, for sure, you know, yeah, so 404 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to understand them. So that was an individual 405 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: who I thought had some good insight to that. But 406 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, that individual would email me in the middle 407 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: of the night for you know, months and would be 408 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: down for talking and then not. And I did end 409 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: up meeting up with that individual and doing some you know, long, 410 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: lengthy interviews. But ultimately she was another person who was 411 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: you know, fairly repeatedly expressing buyer's remorse, you know, contacting 412 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: me and being like I don't know what kind of 413 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: shit you're gonna do with my story, Like I don't 414 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: know if I trust you, blah blah blah, I don't 415 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: know if I trust you. Kind of like attitude, and 416 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: to be honest, it offended me, like I get it, 417 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, but I was just at that point, I 418 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: was just like all right, So I cut that entirely. Yeah, 419 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: uh huh, cut that source entirely. There was another woman 420 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: who I know was a sex worker in this ring. 421 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: She's in the newspapers repeatedly. I was amazingly able to 422 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: find this woman. She's living in you know, I don't 423 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: want to give away details because I don't want to 424 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: identify this woman, but like, yeah, I mean you could 425 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: probably call it a halfway house, okay. And I was 426 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: trying to contact her and I left her messages, and 427 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: then one day, at like seven thirty in the morning, 428 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: she called me and seemed to me to be not sober. 429 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, at seven thirty in the morning. 430 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: Seven thirty in the morning, And I got a lot 431 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: of experience of people on pills. It seemed like a 432 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: pill haze, you know what I mean. And this individual 433 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: was also not exactly friendly. It went on back and forth. Actually, 434 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,479 Speaker 1: she'd be like, you know, like what the fuck are 435 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: you trying to do? And then she'd be like, you know, 436 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: you seem like a nice woman. I shit you not. 437 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: And so that source, I decided, like, I don't think 438 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: that I'm big and pregnant. I'm like eight months pregnant. 439 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: To me, I'm like, I didn't really want to get 440 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: too involved, dude. And if I were one of these 441 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: like bulldog investigative reporters for whom I have a lot 442 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: of respect mm hmm, I probably would have shut up 443 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: at this woman's store and just hounded her to death 444 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: until she gave me what I wanted. But I didn't 445 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: have it in me. Yeah, and I also felt that 446 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: with the primary material that I had, namely the court transcripts, particularly, 447 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: that I had enough to go on. 448 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 2: Anyways, let's talk about the transcripts for a second, because 449 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 2: I remember that wasn't something you had when we first 450 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 2: started this process. You just had the news clippings and 451 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: you had big plans for interviews to be a part 452 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 2: of this. You never said anything about court transcripts. And 453 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 2: I actually remember at some point when we were doing 454 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: some prep work, I was thinking to myself, I bet 455 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 2: we could find the court transcripts, but you had so 456 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 2: much going on with the pregnancy and everything. I was like, 457 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: let me not bug her with details. She'll take care 458 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 2: of everything. And then I get a text. You're like, bro, 459 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: I found the court transcripts. So how did you find 460 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: the court transcripts? 461 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: It was no easy feat But shout out to the 462 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: folks in Philadelphia at the National Archives, because they the 463 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: ones that really found these transcripts. Now, how did I 464 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: find them? Shout out to the PhD. It was the 465 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: lifetime of scholarship. I am trained in scholarship and I 466 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: know how to find sources, and so I researched what 467 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: to research? How do you find transcripts? Who do you 468 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: go to? Then I started emailing different courts. This clerk 469 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: is telling me, no, it ain't here, you got to 470 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: go look here.

Through a up of different county clerks putting 473 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: me in different directions, I was finally sent to the 474 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: National Archives in Philadelphia, where they said they might have it. 475 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: So one day I was hosting a retreat, in the 476 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: middle of hosting a retreat, pregnant as hell, just hating 477 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: from outside the club while all of my guests are 478 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: hooting and hollering and having fun, you know, and I'm 479 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: like trying to be cool, but I'm jealous as hell. 480 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: And I get an email and it's from the National 481 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: Archives and they're like, hey, great news, we have found 482 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: the transcripts, and we are not going to be able 483 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: to scan them for you as requested because it's four 484 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: thy six hundred and eighty five pages. 485 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 2: Wow. 486 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: Yes, but you can come here and scan them if 487 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: you won't. Do you know how long it takes to 488 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: scan four thousand, six hundred pages. 489 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I can imagine it's a very 490 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: very long time. 491 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: It's a very long time. It's a very tedious process. 492 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: And you can't put it in a feeder like a 493 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: copy machine like where it feeds mm hmm. You have 494 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: to do because they don't want you damaging their and 495 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: your shoff, of course, so you have to I bought 496 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: a flatbed scanner and I spent one week in those 497 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: archives and just scanning page by page by page by page. 498 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: By the time I was done and a head back home. 499 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: Once I finally get back to Atlanta, it's time to 500 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: go to the beach again. Uh huh. And so for 501 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: this next beach trip, instead of the news articles, I 502 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: had with me all of these transcripts. And that's when 503 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: I first dug into them. And that year at the beach, 504 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: I sat on the deck and I read these transcripts. 505 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 2: They really transformed the story. It feels from my point 506 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 2: of view, it feels like the bulk of your knowledge 507 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 2: of the case comes from those transcripts rather than the 508 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 2: news clippings or anything else. 509 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: It does because in fact, the news clippings, most of 510 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: them at best, are secondhand accounts of the court proceedings. 511 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 2: M M. 512 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: And here I had the actual court proceedings. And the 513 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: hugeous gift of those transcripts is how many of those 514 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: women testified. 515 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, I guess we have a lot of those 516 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 2: quotes in the podcast. That really helps queue up the 517 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 2: stories that are told. 518 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And so this mystery where I was just imagining 519 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 1: what must these women be, like, what were they going through? 520 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: Was for so many of these women no longer a mystery, 521 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: right Yeah, And I'm hearing like actual women who were 522 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: who had, by the way, dispersed across the US. Clearly 523 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: shit got hot and everybody got out. Nobody wants to 524 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: be involved, know these women that had kids and stuff, 525 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 1: like they didn't want to lose their kids. Yeah, which 526 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: was a worry for at least one of these women, 527 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: and like a reasonable worry because you didn't have her kid. 528 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: But the FBI went and found a whole lot of 529 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: these women and went knocking on their doors and they said, well, 530 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: you better come over here and do this testifying, you know, 531 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: or else, And so they did. And because of that, 532 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: I was finally able to get some first hand accounts 533 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: of what the women experienced. 534 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a really special thing that you're able 535 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 2: to find, because that was always from the beginning you 536 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 2: talked about wanting to tell the story of the women, 537 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 2: and that was only going to be possible with the interviews. Yes, originally, 538 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 2: and so were all very fortunate that you put in 539 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 2: that work. And it's clearly you can't just google Federal 540 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 2: Court transcript from nineteen seventy five and get any results. 541 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 2: It's a lot of layers that you had to go through. 542 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 2: It's an amazing story. On the topic of the interviews. 543 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 2: The other big interview that's featured prominently is Frankie Jones, 544 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 2: and boy, were those segments. 545 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: Wild, absolute gold. 546 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 2: I could not believe some of the things that he 547 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 2: was saying. What was Frankie like? And why do you 548 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 2: think he was so comfortable being so candid with you. 549 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: Frankie was immediately warm and welcoming and gave me a 550 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: hug when he met me. The reason that I contacted 551 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: Frankie was because his dad was on the grand jury. 552 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: So I was just hoping to get some insight, like, 553 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 1: you know, tell me about your dad's experience. That's all 554 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 1: I expected. Now what I did get from Frankie was 555 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 1: so much more. First thing I want to say about Frankie, 556 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: when we started talking already, I was like, Okay, this 557 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: is gold, because I'm gonna tell you. People think that 558 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: this accent of mine is fake. They do. Yeah, that 559 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: dude started talking, I'm like, oh my god, he's even 560 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: more damnvill than me. Like that real Southern accent, you 561 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: can't you can't replicate it. Yeah, So when I heard 562 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: his accent, I already knew. I'm like, this voice is 563 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: gonna sound beautiful on this podcast. Frankie chose to open 564 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: up to me because he was just treating me like 565 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: a human being with whom he was having an honest conversation, 566 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: which is rare. He It was disarming, in fact, the 567 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: unguarded honesty from this man. It was a pleasant surprise, 568 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: the sort of jovial nature in which he told these stories. 569 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: Did I ever think I was gonna find an individual 570 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: who had actually been to one of these brothels who 571 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:40,359 Speaker 1: was willing to talk about it. 572 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 2: Hell no, you didn't even know when you started the interview. 573 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. But then he starts talking about, yeah, I've 574 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: been to one or two, and I'm like, oh, helly, 575 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: you know, tell me more. And I really appreciate that 576 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: honesty because even talking about these topics, you know, I mean, 577 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of like, look, I will tell 578 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: you what I don't want to do. And one of 579 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: my greatest fears in regards to this project, I don't 580 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: want to bring any problems or shame on anybody who 581 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: chose to be involved. And that's why it's hard, you know, 582 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: to even write about people. I mean, like, you know, 583 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: a lot of these people are still alive. Man, I 584 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 1: want to tell this story. I'm telling the story. Obviously, 585 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: it's told, it's done, but there's a part of me 586 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: that's like, damn, you know, like do I want to 587 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: like these people are fifty years gone? People change. I mean, bro, listen, 588 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,720 Speaker 1: if you wanted to make a podcast about the fucked 589 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: up shit that I've done, boy, we could have a 590 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: number of seasons on that. By the way, please okay, 591 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: please don't. And I know That's how I feel, like, 592 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: please don't. So you know it is with some uh 593 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: conflictedness that I tell this story at all, because you know, 594 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean, all of this was public, it was all 595 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,479 Speaker 1: in the news. I'm not bringing up anything that ain't known. 596 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: But I don't want to drag people's name through the mud. 597 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: I don't want to fuck anybody's life up like I 598 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: don't want to do that. But at the same time, 599 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: is there any story in the world that can be 600 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: told without that risk? And if I allow that to 601 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: keep me from researching, if I allow that to keep 602 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: me from telling stories, then what story can I ever 603 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: tell that everybody looks good in? And if everybody looks good, 604 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:54,800 Speaker 1: then where's the story? 605 00:41:55,280 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, So let's pivot again. You talked a lot 606 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 2: about your origin story when we started the conversation, and 607 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 2: you definitely mentioned that you are an artist. And something 608 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 2: that I have always found striking about you is that 609 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 2: when you talk about yourself, you use that word artist. 610 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,399 Speaker 2: What does being an artist mean to you and how 611 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 2: does it influence your career to this point and your 612 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 2: ambitions for the future. 613 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: Man, we are always looking at this life and we 614 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 1: are trying to understand what it means, and we find 615 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,720 Speaker 1: this meaning in any number of ways, but the search 616 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: for it is absolutely fundamental to humanity, hence the existence 617 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: of religion. For example, when I talk about being a writer, 618 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: and when I talk about being an artist, to me, 619 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: it means this. We're all living this life. We're all 620 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: seeing the trees and the people walk around and the 621 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: experiences that we're having. And I'm seeing the same thing 622 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: as everybody else. But sometimes I see things and to 623 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: me they are immediately a poem, laiden with meaning, a 624 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: way that we can understand what life is about. In 625 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: the early days of COVID, they removed the swings from 626 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: the swing set in my neighborhood playground and wrapped the 627 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:44,919 Speaker 1: swing set and caution tape. Yeah, that's a poem. That's 628 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: the kind of image that I take. I put it 629 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: in my back pocket and I think, one damn, we'll 630 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: put this shit into a story. I am a collector 631 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: of such images. I'm a collector of the casual things 632 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,240 Speaker 1: that a person says that they don't ever think twice about. 633 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: But I hear it, and I think that's a poem. 634 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 1: We talk about ai writing stories. Oh, the writers are 635 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: gonna lose their jobs, you know, like the AI is 636 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: writing stories. Yeah, they might be able to make some 637 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: paragraphs and shit, but how can the robots understand the 638 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 1: human heart and the meaning of this universe of chaos. 639 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 1: I could have gone my whole life and never been 640 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 1: all these sparkly pretty things that I had to be 641 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: to make money. But if I was on this deathbed 642 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 1: and I didn't write this book, I didn't write this art. 643 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 1: I didn't write all the poems that I guess nobody's 644 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: ever gonna read that I couldn't do. Being an artist 645 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 1: is the most important thing to me as an individual, 646 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 1: regardless of any material gains that I ever received from it. 647 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: It is where I find my meaning. It is where 648 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 1: I make my meaning. And if I could be known 649 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: for anything, it would be my art. 650 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 2: I love what you said, a collector of images. I 651 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 2: don't know if that was off the cuff or not, 652 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 2: but I think that's a really brilliant way of describing 653 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 2: being an artist of any medium, A collector of images 654 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,720 Speaker 2: from life. Yes, that you convey the beauty of the hidden, 655 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 2: beauty of that of a. 656 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: Beautyl Yes, like I'm not making things up out of 657 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 1: whole cloth. I am not making things up. I merely 658 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: have the ability to see the meaning in what already exists, 659 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 1: the meaning that I think a lot of people miss. 660 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 2: M m.
