At the end of dinner, we 180 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 3: kids were all sent to use the bathroom. When I finished, 181 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 3: I went back to the table. After a few minutes, 182 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: I noticed that nobody else was coming back. I figured 183 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: they couldn't all be taking that long in the bathroom, 184 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: so I went and checked to see that nobody was 185 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: in the bathroom either. I ran outside to see, to 186 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: my horror, that all of the vehicles were gone in 187 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: South Dakota. You don't know where the fuck you are. 188 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: You probably had a cracker barrel or something. 189 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: And you're the last person at a restaurant where it's 190 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: like you're surrounded by stranger. 191 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: And a child in your job. I started to panic, 192 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 3: After all, I was only nine years old and in 193 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: South Dakota. But I also remembered the advice from the 194 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 3: safety Kid's cassettes my parents. 195 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: Would play for us. Let's hear this. 196 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: They had songs about body boundaries, memorizing important information like 197 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 3: phone numbers, fire safety, and more. One of the songs 198 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: was about how when you're lost, you should quote look 199 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 3: for a grandma or mother with children. Oh what about 200 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: a goth grandma?

But 210 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 3: there were some grandmotherly looking ladies too. They offered to 211 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: stay with me and drive me down to the rodeo 212 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: of my parents were in back Soon.

Hey, he was involved 275 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: and probably had strong opinions about it. But the crown 276 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: jewel of his farming career was raising the largest bore 277 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: in the entire state. Not a cute four each project pig, 278 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: more like local legend, state fair celebrity.

That sign currently lives 284 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: in my parents' garage because apparently once your pig archives 285 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: national fame, it becomes a permanent household storage problem. The 286 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: best part happened after filming in the studio at Letterman. Backstage, 287 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: a man walked up, shook my grandpa's hand and introduced 288 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: himself as Ringo Star.

I've been meeting to write in for 371 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: a while, and you know how life goes, I'm just 372 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 3: now getting around to it. I started listening around the 373 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 3: pandemic times, and I think a lot of people were 374 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: looking for outlets. Some made banana bread, others listened to 375 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 3: YouTube talk about murder. Some did both at the same time. 376 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: Also, sorry about those episodes, recording them and just being like, 377 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 2: how are we getting this done? 378 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: Okay. 379 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 3: In one of your episodes, you talked about scream sneezing, 380 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 3: and it later came up in a rewind and I 381 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 3: knew I had to share. 382 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, my dad scream. 383 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 3: Sneezed so violently it would cure your hiccups from a 384 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 3: mile away. It was mortifying. You'd be minding your own 385 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: business and suddenly Mount Saint Helen's would erupt all over 386 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 3: again right next to you on the couch, and then 387 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 3: it says had to throw in a Pacific Northwest reference 388 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 3: to where I'm from. I never understood why he had 389 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 3: to be so loud and obnoxious about a natural body function. 390 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 3: I even practiced holding my own sneezes in vowing that 391 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 3: I would never be like that. Then I got older. 392 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 3: I'm forty two now and a father to a four 393 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 3: year old daughter. After years of treating my body like 394 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 3: an amusement park, let's just say the bolts and screws 395 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: don't hold together the way they used to, so now 396 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 3: sneezing is genuinely painful if that pressure doesn't have a 397 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: safety outlet. To my horror, I've become my father. I 398 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 3: scream sneeze and those are capitalized with the best of them. 399 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 3: The scream lets the energy escape through my vocal cords 400 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: instead of herniating a disc. So my poor daughter is 401 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: growing up with a father who sounds like a fighter 402 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 3: jet doing a flyby at Mack two. My dad isn't 403 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 3: with us anymore, but I'll pass the story on to 404 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 3: her and apologize in advance. On the bright side, it's 405 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: a hiccup free zone. And then ps the story of 406 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 3: how you two started your show genuinely inspired me. I 407 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 3: now have my own podcast called in the Static, where 408 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 3: I talk to writers, artists and musicians about why we 409 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 3: make things even when we don't have to.

We got business to 436 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 2: get into. 437 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: Let's go. 438 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: I work in a small office in a big city 439 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: in Texas. Last summer, we had a few new hires 440 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: coming through and I was sitting at the front desk waiting. 441 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: For them to arrive. 442 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: As they slowly began to filter in, there was one 443 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 2: gentleman in particular who stood out to me. He walked 444 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: in with a huge smile on his face and introduced himself. 445 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: I greeted him and walked him back to the conference room. 446 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 2: All while I had this weird feeling that I just 447 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 2: couldn't shake. The gentleman made it through training and settled 448 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 2: into his part time status, being a regular face that 449 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: I saw every day. I was cordial, but I was 450 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: hesitant to hold any extended conversation. And because there was 451 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 2: just something in his eyes that was almost uncanny, I 452 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: couldn't put my finger on it. I was completely convinced 453 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: this was a bad man. Then one day all of 454 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 2: my nerves and hesitancies were completely validated. 455 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Kind of. 456 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: Another one of the new hires was up at the 457 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 2: front desk chatting and said, did you guys know Chris 458 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 2: was an actor? We paused, no, The young man continued, Yeah, 459 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: he's been on all this stuff when we did our orientation. 460 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 2: That was the fun fact that he shared. I immediately 461 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: jumped onto IMDb and there it was. The reason the 462 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: guy gave me the creeps is because I had seen 463 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 2: those eyes before when he Chris McGarry played Alec Murdoch 464 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 2: in The Murdoch Murders, Oh twenty twenty. 465 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: That's right, you guys. 466 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 3: The creepy feeling I means he's a great actor. 467 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: Seriously, the creepy feeling I was getting from the poor 468 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: new man at work is because he played a literal murderer. 469 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: Poor Chris, He's not a creep. He's just insanely fucking talented. Wow. 470 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 2: After that, I decided it was time to stop avoiding 471 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: eye contact and teach my brain that we are not 472 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: in danger. 473 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: Chris was a great guy. 474 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: He ended up leaving because he got accepted into a 475 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: collegiate theater program and he wanted to focus there. For 476 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: his privacy, I'll spare any further detail.
