1
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to my favorite murder the minisode Let's

2
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: do it. Let's read emails from the world you go first. Okay,

3
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: this email is a response email to a thing I

4
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: said one time. We love those ones. And the subject

5
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: line of this email is the real Transylvania University has

6
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: a professor buried in the administration building.

7
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: What that's from the Meet the Kentucky Meat Shower.

8
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, I believe so. I think they say. Oh here.

9
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: It starts hello, lovely ladies. I've been listening since well

10
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: before COVID, and then in parentheses it says not quite

11
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: day one, but close enough to feel like we're friends.

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: That's nice.

13
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: I like it. We're COVID friends. I thought about writing

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: in so many times. Then I heard episode five point

15
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: thirty nine. It keeps getting ruined and Karen. Karen asked

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: if Transylvania University was actually real. That's my alma mater,

17
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: so naturally I had to shoot my shot. Transylvania University

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: is a real, tiny liberal arts school in Lexington, Kentucky,

19
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: with only about eleven hundred students. Wow. It was founded

20
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: in seventeen eighty, making it the first university west of

21
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: the Apple Achians right, and despite what every person I've

22
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: ever met immediately asks, No, Dracula did not attend. Why

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: is it called that hold on? Okay, the name comes

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: from the Latin. The name comes from the Latin trans

25
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: Sylvam meaning across the woods. Okay, trans Sylvan. When the

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: school was founded, Kentucky was basically one giant forest. Nothing

27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: creepy in those woods.

28
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: Nope, everything is non cryptoid camp away, let's keep going.

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Now for the fun part. Every student quickly learns about

30
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: Constantine Samuel Raffanesque, an absolutely brilliant naturalist, botanist, and by

31
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: all accounts, an eccentric menace. Yes right. Legend says that

32
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: he was so angry after leaving the university that he

33
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: cursed the school. That's my energy entirely. Naturally, instead of

34
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: just letting go, alumni decided decades later the best solution

35
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: was to dig him up and bring him back to campus.

36
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: This is shades of Widow's Bay.

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: Wow.

38
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: Today he's entombed inside Old Morrison, our main administration building.

39
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: That's like, yeah, he got bit by that animal and

40
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: he became that.

41
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: Animal, became the animal. Every relationship I've ever had, except

42
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: there's a very real possibility they dug up the wrong person.

43
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: What I should have kept getting better now. No one's

44
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: entirely sure the remains in the tombor actually Rafinesques, which

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: somehow makes the whole story even better. Very true. We

46
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: embrace the weird. Every October there's RAF Week. Students can

47
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: enter a rap to spend Halloween nights sleeping in the tomb.

48
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

49
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Our campus cafe is called the raft Scaler, and our

50
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: mascot is Raphanesque's big eared bat.

51
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: They just like double down on saying fuck you to him, Yes,

52
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: like triple down.

53
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: They're like, we'll move your body wherever we want. Yeah,

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna theme you out like Mickey Mouse.

55
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: Everything after you.

56
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: Get ready if curse professors aren't enough. The campus is

57
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: also forever connected to the tragic nineteen sixty one murder

58
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: of student Betty Gail Brown. She was killed after leaving

59
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: a late night study session, and despite decades of investigation,

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: it's still one of Kentucky's most infamous unsolved murders. Walking

61
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: past Old Morrison at night definitely hits it a little

62
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: differently once you know the history. Oh and because apparently

63
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: the universe decided one bizarre story wasn't enough for our

64
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: little school. Our library became the site of the infamous

65
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and four rare book heist. I remember I

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: did this. You did the rare book heists that inspired

67
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: the movie American Animal. Wait, will you check if I

68
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: did it?

69
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm akan right now.

70
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: I could have just seen that movie. You should do

71
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: it on it, like write it down to do it.

72
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: I think I did because it was Remember it was

73
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: like the boys that kept going into ask to look

74
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: at the books that were behind the glass.

75
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to say yes, and then Moll's going to say,

76
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: you didn't do it. Cover it, and I'm going to.

77
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Look the stupidest, and then that's right. That's how I

78
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: do it, is that I put my ass out there.

79
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: But yours is the one in this lane, right, Yours

80
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: is the one in the jackpot.

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: Okay, Karen, I'm not seeing that you covered it, but

82
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to keep checking.

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: How dare I knew that? I shouldn't say that I

84
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: knew what you were talking about? Is what I'm saying.

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: Can someone call Stephen? We're texting him now if we

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: won't The idea that this show has been going on

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: so long that the memory is reality. What we've watched,

88
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: what we've seen, what we've talked about casually.

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: One hundred something episodes, almost like five hundred and fifty episodes.

90
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: We're not going to rumin goddamn anything.

91
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Well, and also we remember everything, so it's like it's

92
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: all the old book heist. But you know, now I

93
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: realize I watched the movie. It was a good I

94
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: think I watched it on a plane. It was kid. Well,

95
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: it's just crazy because they you know, those heisters, and

96
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: they're logic.

97
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: Let's have a high schirl summer, high squirrel summer.

98
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Yes, Bolla Clava's fucking stealing people's shit and driving away SPF.

99
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: It's UV coverage of Balaklava opera gloves, Balaclava's really bright

100
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: lipstick and like bikini.

101
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, sorry, that's spring Breakers.

102
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: That's true. Oh shit, you're right.

103
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: Okay did you do so? Yes, our tiny liberal arts

104
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: college somehow produced a Hollywood crime film. So to answer

105
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: your question, yes, Transylvania University is very real. For a

106
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: school with barely eleven hundred students, we've managed to accumulate

107
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: a curse professor, a possible case of mistaken remains inside

108
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: the Administration Building, and unsolved murder, a multimillion dollar rare

109
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: book heist, and a name that makes everyone immediately ask

110
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: about vampires. Anyway, thanks for giving me an excuse to

111
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: finally write in again. If you ever need more weird

112
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: transy stories, I guess they call it transy. I've got

113
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: plenty SSDGM Jay she her Transylvania University class of two

114
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: thousand and six. And here is a picture of himself,

115
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Constantine Samuel Raffiness. Wow, that's the man that they moved

116
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: the body and put him in the Administration building. A thumb.

117
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: He's They look like they drew with that, like drew

118
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: a thumb and then drew his picture on the thumb.

119
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: To me, it looks like he's done so much reading

120
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: that his eyes are moving around his head like a flounder.

121
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: Like he's he's turning into he's what's it called.

122
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: He's morphing into a book. He got bit by a book,

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 1: and then he's turning into a book.

124
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: He's morphing for easier reading capabilities. Okay, love it, good job,

Speaker 3: thank you, Okay, good job Jay?

126
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: Start Yeah.

127
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: Is it weird that I'm like, I bet that college

128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: would have accepted me. If I had, like, you know,

129
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: I would have.

130
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Been accepted at Transylvania.

131
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: Someone in Pennsylvania would have Oh god, what if we

132
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: got a fucking honorary diploma from Pennsylvania University for being creeps?

133
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: We major in being creeps?

134
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: That would be rad okay, hey, friends. Back in the

135
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: glory days of two thousand and three ish, my mom

136
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: was going through what she now lovingly refers to as

137
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: her middle aged crazy aka. She was post divorced and

138
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: really into cheap vodka and dudes on motorcycles.

139
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: This is very Aaron BROCKOVICI. I bet she's like thirty nine, right, Yeah,

140
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: you mean when this is happening. Yeah, yeah.

141
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: I was a disaffected fifteen year old, my first cell

142
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: phone and an addiction to AOL instant messenger.

143
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 2: What a time.

144
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: My mom was dating one particular shithead with a motorcycle

145
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: and the two of them enjoyed going out for long

146
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: rides on the weekend.

147
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: What else were they doing?

148
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: You're not my dad, Ramby.

149
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: My dad was a flight attendant, so I was expected

150
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: to watch my eleven year old brother most nights they

151
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: went out. This particular evening, my mom made sure to

152
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: tell me that they were going to a movie after

153
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: their ride and probably wouldn't have their cell phones on,

154
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: so I should call my dad if I needed anything.

155
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: Being a teenager, I rolled my eyes or gave her

156
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: some equally asshole response, and they were on their way.

157
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: An hour or so later, I was chatting on AIM

158
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: while my brother watched the Tom Green show.

159
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: Oh my God, Yeah.

160
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: And we were drinking Jolt cola right when suddenly my

161
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: cell phone started to ring. The number was blocked, and

162
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: as I was a sweet summer child who still believed

163
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: in answering the phone at all times, much less unknown numbers,

164
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: I picked up. I said hello, and was greeted with

165
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: the lowest, most gravelly voice I'd ever heard.

166
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: I've been waiting. I know you're alone.

167
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: I'm in the backyard, I screamed, and immediately hung up

168
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: the phone, and like a good baby, Murderino locked the

169
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: bedroom door. Even though I was freaked out, I knew

170
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 3: it was likely one of my friends messing with me.

171
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: I quickly sent AIM trats to all my closest friends,

172
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: demanding that they admit they'd call me, but they swore

173
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: over and over that it wasn't them. Meanwhile, my phone

174
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: was blowing the fuck up. I answered it a few

175
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: more times, trying to convince the person on the other

176
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: end to give up the gag, but the threats continued.

177
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: I'm on your porch now I have a knife.

178
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Fuck.

179
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: It was then that my brother and I heard banging

180
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: on the sliding glass door downstairs, followed by scraping along

181
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: the walls at the back of the house. Our backyard

182
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: was basically a big forest that cushioned us from another neighborhood,

183
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 3: very easy for someone to hide out back there. At

184
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: this point, I was sobbing, calling my mom, dad, and

185
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: even the shitead boyfriend, only to get their voicemails. I

186
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: was convinced I was about to be murdered and had

187
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: no idea what to do. The phone kept ringing, so

188
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: my sweet angel baby brother yelled at me to call

189
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: the cops and get in the closet.

190
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: It's eleven.

191
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: I watched as he darted down the hall and grabbed

192
00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: the shitty boyfriend's hunting rifle from under the bed. Eleven oh,

193
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: and he closed the bedroom door again and sat there

194
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: staring at it with the gun pointed directly at it.

195
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: The nine one one operator who had been talking me

196
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: off a ledge told me to peek out my bedroom

197
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: window and I would see a patrol car pulling up

198
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: with no lights on. Sure enough, an officer was sneaking

199
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: up my driveway to assess the situation. About a minute later,

200
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: the operator explained that everything was okay and I should

201
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: go down to the driveway to talk to the officer.

202
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: Scared shitless but wanting to follow directions, my brother and

203
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: I walked down the stairs to find my mother. She

204
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: and her boyfriend were drunk off their asses and trying

205
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: to explain why they'd been pretending to be murderers in.

206
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 2: The backyard for the last hour.

207
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: The shitty boyfriend had been using a rake against the

208
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: walls to create the creepy noises, and Mom had turned

209
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: her phone off so we'd get her voicemail When we called.

210
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Everyone could have killed her. Everybody, fucking cops, the brother.

211
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so furious, What in the fuck are

212
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: you doing? Totally to aa, you fucking weirdo.

213
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: My brother called both of them bitches, his favorite part

214
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 3: of the story, and stomped back upstairs. Well, I sat

215
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: there basically apopalyptic.

216
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Apoplectic, apoplectic.

217
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: It's a tough and sobbing.

218
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: My mom walked over to comfort me, but my crying

219
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: made her laugh so hard that she, no shit, almost

220
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: peed herself and had to walk away. This isn't This

221
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: is not called trash trash mom, and it should be.

222
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: It isn't.

223
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: No, you'd think she'd feel bad about it, but to

224
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: this day, my mom can't tell that story without laughing

225
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: until she hears it here.

226
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: Your mom is a sociopath.

227
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: I love reminding her of how she turned me into

228
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 3: a neurotic weirdo who always locks her fucking doors, and

229
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: how her insane antics are going to fill my memoir

230
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: one of these days.

231
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: That's working right.

232
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: Thank you for everything you do. If you're ever in

233
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: atl at Lama, facials are on me. Oh yes, I know,

234
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: stay sexy and avoid the middle aged crazy Amy.

235
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that I forgot about Amy. His mom

236
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: basically at the beginning, was like, hey, I was going

237
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: through some stuff, but that is torture. Yeah, And I

238
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: also is it wrong to admit that I have a

239
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: crush on that eleven year old boy that went I'm

240
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna go get the fucking gun.

241
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: He knew what he was doing, and that eleven and

242
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: two thousand and three.

243
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: That was twenty three years ago, so that means he's

244
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 3: thirty or four.

245
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: Perfect for me. It's just because that's it. That's a

246
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: that's a boy who got turned into a man that

247
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: day and that probably never stopped where he's like, these

248
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: bitches are in charge now I have to be in

249
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: charge totally.

250
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: And he took care of his older sister, so obviously

251
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: he knows he's doing well. Yes, match made in Heaven.

252
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is what you know the

253
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: bad parenting begets, which is hyper responsible and handling. You

254
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: stay here, I'm gonna go get the guts totally.

255
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: So like, lock your guns up, people, lock your boyfriend's

256
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 3: guns up.

257
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: When your children are so many things.

258
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: Don't be in the seventies socializing with fuck and Hell's

259
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Angels or whatever the fuck it was you were doing.

260
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: It was two thousand and three.

261
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's bad. Oh well, okay, Uh. The subject

262
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: line of this email is making customers cry. I was

263
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: listening to MINNISO two ninety nine about that poor fraud

264
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: rep who was expected to out the guy with the

265
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: sex work credit card charges to his wife when Karen said, quote,

266
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: if anything you're about to do is going to make

267
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: the customer cry that goes upstairs, and I thought, do

268
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: you remember not know what you're talking about? It was

269
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: basically like tell the manager before you okay, blow it up,

270
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: and they say, And I thought I'd share some tales

271
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: of making customers cry. So Karen nailed it. Most customer

272
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: service reps do not get paid enough to deal with

273
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: this shit. But guess who does up there sitting at

274
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: the top of those proverbial stairs. That'd be me. I'm

275
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: a customer service manager at a small town bank. I

276
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: manage a team of tellers and I tell them the

277
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: same thing Karen said. You don't get paid enough if

278
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: a client is escalating in nice a woman, and then

279
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: you tag in the eleven year old boy with the shotgun.

280
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: A woman came in already in tears. Her husband had

281
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: taken her debit card and kicked her out of the house,

282
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: and she wanted to know if she could just withdraw

283
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: some cash. She said, he's just not very nice and

284
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: looked away with tears rolling down her face. I took

285
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: her to my desk, reviewed her account, and in my

286
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: perkis customer service voice said, well, look you here. You

287
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: are listed as the second account owner on your joint account,

288
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: meaning you have full authority to do anything with the

289
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: account that you need. Yes, we closed the account, issued

290
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: her check, made payable only to her, used it to

291
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: open an account with only her name on it, got

292
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: her own debit card, gave her a thousand dollars in cash,

293
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: and called her a cab to the next town over

294
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: where her sister lived.

295
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: Fuck.

296
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the end of the story, right and goodbye.

297
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: She had no more tears going out the door. But

298
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: guess who had big fat crocodile tears the next day

299
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: when he stumbled in wondering why his card wasn't working.

300
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: That's right. Then he was crying because how could he

301
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: live without her paycheck? Who was going to pay his bills?

302
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Then he said, quote she never thinks of the consequences

303
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: when she does stupid shit like this, and quote When

304
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I was unmoved by his tears, he turned them off

305
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: like a faucet and stormed out the door. Of course,

306
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: thank you ladies for all you do good.

307
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: I thought it was I thought the scam the lady

308
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: was a scammer.

309
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: No, no, you got okay.

310
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I think it was basically like they're the customer service

311
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: people who actually give real needed customer service. It stay

312
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: sexy and maybe don't be a money grubbing douche canoe.

313
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: Oh and be kind to customer service personnel. Sarah love it.

314
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a side hustle, children's side hustle. Oh yes,

315
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: hello all, you asked for stories about late confessions, late

316
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: in life confessions. Perhaps the story will tickle your fancy.

317
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: I was in grade nine when I realized that I

318
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: could forge my mom's signature. All of a sudden, I

319
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: wasn't scooping class. I had an excused apps. The kicker

320
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: to all this. My mom taught at the same high

321
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: school I attended. I would hand in the notes with

322
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: her signature on it, and no one in the office.

323
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: Would question it. That's a fucking dangerous game you're playing.

324
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: That's sloppy. Well, but also yeah, it would literally take

325
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: one of this like huh, just a light curiosity. You'd

326
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: be like comparing this, Hey, Joan, could you just write

327
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: your signature in here for me?

328
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: Andrea called out again today, Joan.

329
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: Every time I brought my report card home, my mom

330
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: would comment about not remembering that many absences, but she

331
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: never followed up on it. One day, a friend asked

332
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: if I could forge her parents signature. She got me

333
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: a sample. I practiced a few times, and my high

334
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: school side hustle was born. For a mere five dollars

335
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: and a sample signature, I could get my friends out

336
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: of class, or sign the disciplinary note that had been

337
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: sent home, or give permission to attend a field trip.

338
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: I kept it fairly low key as to not get caught,

339
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: but I made a nice little sum for it.

340
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: Over the four years.

341
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: Holy shit, five dollars a signature, or maybe like a

342
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: couple of month.

343
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: I wonder what like the blaw she's breaking is like?

344
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: For example, like in Law and Order they're always like,

345
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: this is a Rico case or whatever? What is that?

346
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: I guess forgery?

347
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: But under eighteen a teenager, they proably don't give a shit, right, They're.

348
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: Just going to scare them.

349
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: It's just a field trip, yeah, to the more.

350
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: Liquor store missionary.

351
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: My sister could got my mom's signature down so hard

352
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: she used to do it for us, of course she did,

353
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: uh huh. About six or seven years after I graduated,

354
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: my short stint living the life of a criminal long forgotten,

355
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 3: and my mom retired.

356
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: The two of us went for lunch.

357
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 3: She had recently had surgery on her right hand, so

358
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: when the credit card receipt needed to be signed, she

359
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: passed it over to me. She was in the middle

360
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: of telling me not to worry about how it looked,

361
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: because she'd notify the company about the surgery.

362
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: When I, out of.

363
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 3: Habit, did my perfect forgery of her signature. She took

364
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: one look at the sign receipt and demanded to know

365
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: how long I had been able to sign her name.

366
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: I watched the pieces fall into place. After I told

367
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: I first did in grade nine, she said, I knew

368
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: I had never signed you out of that many classes.

369
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: Since then, I've continued to sign things for her when

370
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: she just doesn't.

371
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: Feel like it.

372
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: The number of birthday checks I've signed for myself and

373
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: my siblings should probably get me into some sort of

374
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: legal trouble. But my mom's hands are shaky now and

375
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: she doesn't want to lose her backup, so she'll never squeal.

376
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: Cheers Andrea, She.

377
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: Her, Andrea, that is perfection, yea, because also that's the

378
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: kind of I feel like we're out of that age

379
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: in the tech age that we're in right that truly

380
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: feels like a Little House on the Prairie story. Totally

381
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: remember when you had to forge signatures and your parents

382
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't even know or like it's a report card they

383
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: never knew came.

384
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: It's like driving stick shift, like you won't need that

385
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: and forging signatures until the end days. Yeah, they're going

386
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: to come in handy again someday. I learned the other

387
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: day that Vince doesn't know how to drive stick shift,

388
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: and I kind of was like, you got the egg.

389
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: No, I was just like I thought I knew you.

390
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a brand. Oh your whole relationship. You're

391
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna have new discoveries. Is't that wonderful?

392
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: Thirteen years in and I'm still like what I was

393
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 2: very shocked.

394
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: I'm really good at teaching people how to drive stick shift.

395
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: If he ever needs to, great end days, we're gonna

396
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: come over, Yes exactly.

397
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: We'll mount a machine gun on the phone.

398
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 3: We'll get the little brothers in the back with his

399
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: fucking right.

400
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Yep, we'll tape him to the front mad Max style.

401
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

402
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: My last one is I have a deathbed treasure hunt story.

403
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: Come on those two things together.

404
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen to this. Hey you guys, Greetings from Wisconsin.

405
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: So it's kind good. You love kookie grandparents stories, you

406
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: love treasure, you ask for deathbed treasure hunts and minnesot

407
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: for sent before and this story has it. Oh, let

408
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: me introduce you to my Grandpa Randall, whom I affectionately

409
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: call And this kind of ruined it for me, but

410
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: we're going to power through it. Grampy Gray was Grampy

411
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: was the true definition of a self made man. He

412
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: rode bucking broncos in the rodeo. He had his pilot's license.

413
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: He was a business owner twice over all on just

414
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: an eighth grade education. Wow, see, we're like Grampy. He

415
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: loved telling us stories of his childhood in the forties,

416
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: like how his parents gave chickens to the local hospital

417
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: to settle a medical tih.

418
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: My god, amazing.

419
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 3: Gee, I just think you're like I pictured them giving

420
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 3: them to the medical center to become doctors. And then

421
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: the chickens had little like doctors cats on and little stethoscopes.

422
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: They come, they're not food, they become the doctor. That's right.

423
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: We got to get these guys in training. We need

424
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 1: more help and X ray okay. So, or how they

425
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: would trade car parts from their salvage yard for tattoos.

426
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: Amazing even see you. I have him to thank for

427
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: my love of true crime. I can remember spending my

428
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: many childhood sleepovers at Grammy and Grampy's curled up in

429
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: the living room. Oh, it makes more sense with Grammy

430
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: sounds gross. We can't have a freestanding Grampy. It's just

431
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: too thick. Yeah, curled up in the living room, eating

432
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: peach rings and cheese bopcorn dam and watching true crime

433
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: classics like Forensic Files in Dateline. He was quick with

434
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: a joke and even quicker to tell us he loved us. Sadly,

435
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: we lost him in twenty nineteen, about a year after

436
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: his passing. I was sitting at my grandma's kitchen table

437
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: drinking coffee when Grammy abruptly blurted out, Have I told

438
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: you about your Grandpa's hidden stash? Huh? I asked, uh No,

439
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: But I need to know. Then she proceeded to tell

440
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: me this story. A few months after he died, Grammy

441
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: had finally worked up the courage to go through some

442
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: of Granby's belongings when she was cleaning out his wallet.

443
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: Tucked in the very back was a piece of paper

444
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: folded up with her name on it. Upon unfolding it,

445
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: she was confused to find a rough drawn outline of

446
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: their home.

447
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

448
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: As she examined it closer, she realized it was a

449
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: treasure map X marks the spot and all. After a

450
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: quick hunt, she located the stash in the utility room

451
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: next to the water heater, and tucked into the wall

452
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: behind a loose piece of insulation was a ziploc bag

453
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: stuffed with cash. Yes, over the decade that they had

454
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: lived there, he had squirreled away over six thousand dollars.

455
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: Holy shit, safe to say. When she moved out that summer,

456
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: she turned that place inside out, making sure there wasn't

457
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: another hidden stash. There wasn't. Thanks for keeping me company

458
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: and adding some joy to the otherwise mundane tasks of life.

459
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: Stay sexy and hug your grandparents, Robin, She her.

460
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that is amazing.

461
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: I am gonna make vince We're worth going to buy

462
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: each other a present, hide a map in case one

463
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: of us dies.

464
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: Yes, right, post death surprises and price.

465
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 2: I love that.

466
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: It's really sweet.

467
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: It's so sweet, it's really a lovely wee.

468
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Cash is amazing. But then any kind of like, Hey,

469
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: I was thinking of you before I left.

470
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: Before I left this murder mortal coil, I love it. Yeah, okay.

471
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: My last one is called Little Sister Lore. Hi friends,

472
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: longtime listener and lifetime older sister. Here. I've spent the

473
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: last time plus years trying to get my little sister

474
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 3: Mandy to listen to your show, simply because you guys

475
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: get the dynamic we have. It's exhausting being right all

476
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 3: the time.

477
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: Mandy is the.

478
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: Best kind of person, a con artist in her past

479
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 3: life with the biggest heart. When we were ten and

480
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 3: twelve ish back in the nineties, we'd go to Costco

481
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: with our parents every week. We weren't allowed to be

482
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: left alone in the aerostar after we thought it would

483
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: be funny one time to hide under the seats when

484
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 3: our parents came back from shopping, making them think we

485
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: were kidnapped.

486
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: Yes, fuck yeah, when the kids do it, it's funny. Yeah,

487
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: when the kids do it, it's.

488
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 3: When the parents know, and then it says whoops. In

489
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: the store, I'd spend the whole time in the book

490
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: section while my parents shop, and Mandy would be my shadow.

491
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: One day, when it came time.

492
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: To check out. A worker approached our.

493
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: Family and told us to come to the manager's office,

494
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: where it was revealed that my tiny, sweet Mandy shoplifted

495
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: an electronic translator.

496
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: The nineties.

497
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: The worker accused both of us of being in on it,

498
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: and my no bullshit Filipina nurse mother immediately said, no,

499
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 3: I know this one, pointing to me her eldest didn't

500
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 3: do it. It had to be my younger daughter. She

501
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: knew us and immediately set the story straight.

502
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: And she was right.

503
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 3: I was none the wiser wanting to read. Mandy was

504
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 3: a sneaky kid who saw a translator system, knowing I

505
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 3: wanted to learn a new language and wanted.

506
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: To steal it for me.

507
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: Oh so criminally sweet, we had to abandoned the huge

508
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: cart of groceries. They wouldn't even let them check out.

509
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 3: Am I gonna get fucking toilet paper in bulk?

510
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean? And also, just don't punish the mother of

511
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: the older sister totally.

512
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: Mandy was banned from Costco for a whole year.

513
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: She did it at Costco.

514
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she had to write an apology letter to

515
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 3: the store.

516
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: It's extreme, our family.

517
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: Hot dogs, I'm so sorry.

518
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: Our family still laughs about this today, because while Mandy

519
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 3: avoided a life of crime, I ever stopped being the creative, considerate,

520
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 3: and fearless woman only little sisters can be. I know

521
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: you both talk a lot about your role as younger sisters,

522
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 3: and while us elders can be bossy, deep down we

523
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: love you more than any book, fancy new gadget or

524
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 3: cartful of wholesale priced goods. Plus, I think the funniest

525
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: people in the world are baby sisters.

526
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 2: Sorry, Laura and Leah, but it's true. It is true.

527
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's an official older sister vote.

528
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, it's why this podcast is my favorite breath

529
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: of comedic fresh air. Oh my god, eat that, Laura, Lea.

530
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: Laura's like, I don't know that you're saying that because

531
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't look exactly.

532
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: My sister is like same.

533
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: Lea's like, can't hear you.

534
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, stay sexy and don't steal from one of the

535
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: few companies that stand firmly with DEI initiatives and sell

536
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 3: a dollar fifty hot dogs.

537
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: Missy, Missy, thank you for that messaging at the end.

538
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: That was flawless, Missy, very strong. Cosco is now on

539
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: TikTok and one of the first videos was that guy

540
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: that said he'll never raise the heat. He told the

541
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: CEO that if you ever raised the price of the

542
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: hot dogs, I'll kill you.

543
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

544
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: The owner basically, and he made a video of himself

545
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: eating one of the hot dogs.

546
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, so good, missy, you've shoplifted our hearts.

547
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: Thank you for that email, and thank you guys for listening.
