Speaker 1: podcasted by Joe and missed You to by Joe. I
Speaker 1: look for Television by Joe. What you Have to Understand
Speaker 1: Brought to your ear holes by Joe. Thank Joe. Later
Speaker 1: Cube Explosions by There. Welcome to another episode of What
Speaker 1: you Have to Understand. I'm your host Joe, and today
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the unsolved murder of Ken McElroy.
Speaker 1: Ken Rex McElroy was a resident of Skidmore, Missouri. He
Speaker 1: died on July tenth in front of the dn G
Speaker 1: Tavern on skid Boards Maiden Drag. The cause of death
Speaker 1: was two bullet wounds from two different rifles, and to
Speaker 1: this day his murder is unsolved. First, let me give
Speaker 1: you a little background on Ken uh and the events
Speaker 1: that led up to his death. Ken McElroy was a
Speaker 1: well liked local man who loved kids and dogs and
Speaker 1: wouldn't hurt a fly. Well, okay, not really. Ken McClay
Speaker 1: was actually a pedophile, arsonist, thief, and a whole lot
Speaker 1: of other things. He was a town bully and he
Speaker 1: never hesitated to threaten or hurt anybody who got in
Speaker 1: his way. He'd shot at least four people, none of
Speaker 1: them fatally as far as I know, But you know,
Speaker 1: there might have been other people that he did kill,
Speaker 1: but we don't know. He was just generally a violent,
Speaker 1: ill tempered guy. Let me tell you about Skidmore, Missouri.
Speaker 1: It was a tiny town of about four fifty people
Speaker 1: back in the early nineteen eighties when Kent's murder took place.
Speaker 1: It's about a hundred miles north of Kansas City. It's
Speaker 1: got two paved streets and no traffic lights. DNG Tavern
Speaker 1: was on Elm Street, just east of Smith Street. If
Speaker 1: you're on street, are you looking at it? I'm sure
Speaker 1: half of you are. The dn G is that low
Speaker 1: white building with metal siding and blue trim. It's no
Speaker 1: longer the DNG Tavern. So the sign has gone, but
Speaker 1: the building last night checked is still there. Besides the tavern,
Speaker 1: Skidmore has a small mom and Pops or excuse me,
Speaker 1: had it since the stores not there anymore. It had
Speaker 1: a small moment pop store a calf day in a
Speaker 1: gas station. The gas station is also gone. I mean
Speaker 1: it's still there, but it's no longer a gas station.
Speaker 1: They've kind of fallen on hard times. Apparently they've lost
Speaker 1: some population. Anyway, let's get back to Ken. Ken McElroy
Speaker 1: was a one man crime spree, and I think he
Speaker 1: had two real jobs his entire life, and he didn't
Speaker 1: hold onto those for very long. He mostly made his
Speaker 1: living by stealing stuff, and he always seemed to have
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and in fact, not long before
Speaker 1: he died, he bought himself a brand new Chevy Silverado
Speaker 1: pickup and paid cash for it, so apparently he was
Speaker 1: getting money from somewhere. Uh. He's His main specialty was
Speaker 1: rustling cattle and hogs, and after his death, local law
Speaker 1: enforcement noted that rustling in the county and actually in
Speaker 1: all the northwestern Missouri dropped way down. He did have
Speaker 1: one legitimate job, which was training and selling coon hounds,
Speaker 1: and I'm told that he was actually a good dog trainer.
Speaker 1: Peabody didn't do that full time. Ken waste of fourteen children.
Speaker 1: He grew up poor. His family moved to Skidmore than
Speaker 1: nine forties, about seventy acres of farmland with a house
Speaker 1: on it, about four miles southeast as skid More So.
Speaker 1: The houses I think three or four bedrooms, so it
Speaker 1: was probably kind of crowded in there with fourteen kids
Speaker 1: and two parents, Ken took up stealing animals before he
Speaker 1: was eighteen. He bought an old fort sedan, took the
Speaker 1: back seat out, reinforced the floor with plywood, and he
Speaker 1: hadded a switch so you could shut the brake lights off,
Speaker 1: and then started going right at night, stealing hogs all
Speaker 1: over the northwest corner of Missouri and sometimes adventure as
Speaker 1: far as Kansas and Iowa. Later on, Ken had enough
Speaker 1: money to buy himself a horse trailer, and he started
Speaker 1: stealing cattle and sometimes horses. When Ken got caught stealing,
Speaker 1: and he occasionally did, he would use violence and threats
Speaker 1: to keep himself out of jail. There's one time a
Speaker 1: farmer caught him stealing two horses and the farmer reported
Speaker 1: it to the police and he filed charges. So Ken
Speaker 1: McElroy went to see the farmer and basically with a
Speaker 1: rifle and but stroked him in the face with it.
Speaker 1: The farmer dropped the charges and so Ken got off again.
Speaker 1: Ken married his first wife when he was eighteen she
Speaker 1: was sixteen, but being married didn't stop him from philandering.
Speaker 1: When he was twenty years so he started dating a
Speaker 1: thirteen year old girl named Donna, who eventually got pregnant
Speaker 1: gave birth to a boy. By the time that this
Speaker 1: this kid was born, Ken was dating a fifteen year
Speaker 1: old girl named Sharon and they had a rocky relationship.
Speaker 1: They they were having an argument, he shot her in
Speaker 1: the neck with a shotgun, which didn't kill her, but
Speaker 1: it did leave her with scars um and eventually Ken
Speaker 1: divorced his first wife and married Sharon. And yes, you
Speaker 1: heard that right, the guy that shot you he married him.
Speaker 1: Sharon wound up having two kids by Ken, the boy
Speaker 1: and the girl. By the time the girl was born,
Speaker 1: Ken mc elroy was regularly beating her and he found
Speaker 1: himself a new girlfriend, a thirteen year old named Sally.
Speaker 1: This was around so Ken would have been about twenty
Speaker 1: seven dating a thirteen year old. Eventually, Ken moves Sally
Speaker 1: into the farmhouse with him his parents is his wife Sharon,
Speaker 1: Yeah really uh and their kids. Uh. Sally had three
Speaker 1: kids and Sharon had two more and can't wind up
Speaker 1: having a lot of kids. During this period, Ken was
Speaker 1: also seeing another underage girl named Alice Wood. In n
Speaker 1: four he looked, he left the family and took up
Speaker 1: with her. He beat or got her pregnant, et cetera
Speaker 1: on the usual stuff, and eventually she left the farm
Speaker 1: with her son moved in with her mom and stepfather
Speaker 1: in St. Joseph, which is a town not too far away. Uh.
Speaker 1: Kim McElroy called the stepfather, whose name was Oath to
Speaker 1: Embury and said he was coming to get his son
Speaker 1: and that he would kill anybody who got in his way.
Speaker 1: Embery told him to pounce, and mcarlroy shows up not
Speaker 1: long after with the rifle and he shot Embery in
Speaker 1: the thigh through his living room window. McElroy was arrested
Speaker 1: for felonious assault, but there was no case without Embery's testimony,
Speaker 1: so he started calling Embury and threatening him to kill him,
Speaker 1: his wife, his kids. He also followed him in his car.
Speaker 1: He'd drive slowly past his house or sometimes park outside,
Speaker 1: and finally Kim mcboy found Embury in a bar in St.
Speaker 1: Joe and threatened up with a knife. When that didn't
Speaker 1: get results, he left and went to his car and
Speaker 1: got a shotgun, came inside, shot the floor by Embery's feet,
Speaker 1: and Embery still refused to drop the charges, so Ken
Speaker 1: stormed out. He wound up getting arrested, but the charges
Speaker 1: were dropped because none of the people in the bar
Speaker 1: would testify against him, so I'm assuming he had a
Speaker 1: chat with all of them too. Oh Ambury eventually dropped
Speaker 1: his slonious assault charge. I'm assuming that he thought that
Speaker 1: Ken would probably kill him if he didn't, so probably
Speaker 1: best to do so. And not long after this incident,
Speaker 1: Alice came back to live on the farm, but by
Speaker 1: this time Ken McIlroy had a new girlfriend, trying to McLeod.
Speaker 1: She was twelve, Kenn was in his mid thirties by
Speaker 1: this time. She got pregnant at age fourteen and moved
Speaker 1: on to the McElroy farm. And of course Ken was
Speaker 1: abusive and violent with both Alice and trying him, and
Speaker 1: at one point they took their kids and left him
Speaker 1: and went to stay at treting his parents place. Nick
Speaker 1: Elroy went and got them and basically forced him to
Speaker 1: come back to the farm. He beat treating us so
Speaker 1: badly he broke her nose and cheap bones, and then
Speaker 1: he got himself a can of gas and a trinad
Speaker 1: go back with him to her parents house. He went inside,
Speaker 1: splashed gasoline all around and towards the place and then
Speaker 1: they headed back home. At this point, you're probably wondering,
Speaker 1: why hasn't somebody shot Ken already? Other people wondered about that.
Speaker 1: Later after Kenn's death, the local Church of Christ minister
Speaker 1: Tim Warren said to a reporter and I quote quote
Speaker 1: my only regret about what happened to Ken Rex McElroy
Speaker 1: is that somebody didn't kill him sooner unquote. You got
Speaker 1: that town minister is glad he's dead. Oh, back to
Speaker 1: our story. Anyway, Trina had to go to a doctor
Speaker 1: for her injuries. Um, he was so appalled he called
Speaker 1: juvenile authorities because that's right. At this point, Trina was
Speaker 1: still technically a child. She and her son were put
Speaker 1: in foster care. Mcarroy was facing charges of rape, arson
Speaker 1: and brandishing a deadly weapon. Ken was facing a little
Speaker 1: legal trouble by this point, but then as lawyer went
Speaker 1: to work as lawyer, Gene McFadden once said that Ken
Speaker 1: mcarroy was his favorite client because he was punctual, He
Speaker 1: always paid cash, and he always came back. And you
Speaker 1: can certainly see why. Uh, he used his usual strategy
Speaker 1: of getting court delays and continuances and basically strung it
Speaker 1: out so long that by. After a while Trina came back.
Speaker 1: She got bored with being in foster care, and so
Speaker 1: she returned and Keim McElroy divorced his wife Sharon and
Speaker 1: married Trina so that she couldn't be compelled to testify
Speaker 1: against him, and she also signed a statement saying that
Speaker 1: Chim mckelroy was guilty of nothing and that she'd been
Speaker 1: lying before when she said that he had been beating
Speaker 1: her and raping her and committed arson, So that kind
Speaker 1: of got him out of that squeak. The next major
Speaker 1: incident was in nineteen seventy six when McElroy shot a
Speaker 1: neighboring farmer named Romaine Henry. He shot him twice in
Speaker 1: the stomach and in the head with a shotgun. Likely
Speaker 1: luckily most of the shot didn't actually hit Henry, and
Speaker 1: the gun was loaded with bird shot too. He had
Speaker 1: to go to the hospital. McElroy was arrested and once
Speaker 1: again his lawyer wants to work and got the trial
Speaker 1: delayed until nineteen seventy seven. In the meantime, McElroy harassed
Speaker 1: Henry by having slowly passed his house or parking and
Speaker 1: shining spotlight into his windows. Uh, somebody I guessing Ken
Speaker 1: McElroy put sugar into the gas tanks of Henry's tractors.
Speaker 1: At the trial, his lawyer, Jeane McFadden produced to witness
Speaker 1: says he swore in her oath that they had been
Speaker 1: with Ken McElroy at his house at the time of
Speaker 1: the shooting. So he got off again. And then time
Speaker 1: goes by. There were, all, of course, all kinds of
Speaker 1: minor incidents, but the next big one happened in April.
Speaker 1: Uh This was kind at the beginning of the end
Speaker 1: for McElroy. Two of his daughters went into the BnB store,
Speaker 1: which was just around the corner from the DG tavern.
Speaker 1: It was owned by bow and Lowest Bowen Camp. The
Speaker 1: oldest McElroy daughter, Debbie, was a teenager. She bought cigarettes
Speaker 1: and cookies and on and on their way out the door,
Speaker 1: the younger one, Alita, who was five, grabbed a few
Speaker 1: pieces of candy from Iraq. When the store's clerk said
Speaker 1: something about the candy, Debbie grabbed it from Alida, threw
Speaker 1: it back into the rack and stomped out of the store.
Speaker 1: A little later, McElroy and his wife Trino, who was
Speaker 1: by this pinned about twenty five. They showed up. McElroy
Speaker 1: had himself a knife. Trina did most of the talking
Speaker 1: and which basically consisted of chewing out the bowling camps
Speaker 1: and their and their clerk, and finally lowest bowling camp
Speaker 1: had had enough. She told them to leave the store
Speaker 1: and never come back. Nobody in the McElroy clan was
Speaker 1: welcome with the store anymore. Well, that didn't set well
Speaker 1: with Kim McElroy. Another campaign of harassment and intimidation started.
Speaker 1: He once again would drive slowly past their house or
Speaker 1: park outside their house. One night, he got out and
Speaker 1: fired a shotgun into the air. Two days later he
Speaker 1: came back and she fired the shotgun again twice. This
Speaker 1: time this kind of stuff went out for months, and
Speaker 1: then one night in July, bow bow and camp by
Speaker 1: the way that I mentioned, he was about sixty nine
Speaker 1: when this happened. He was on the loading dock at
Speaker 1: the rear of the BnB store when Kim McElroy drove
Speaker 1: up in his pickup. He got out with a double
Speaker 1: bailer shotgun and shot bow in the neck. Both survived.
Speaker 1: McElroy was arrested again by a State Highway patrol officer
Speaker 1: and taken in He posted bail and began a campaign
Speaker 1: of harassment against the office sir in his family. Also,
Speaker 1: the local minister fell out of favor with him. Uh.
Speaker 1: The minister went and saw bo bo and Camp in
Speaker 1: the hospital and also want to see Lois Boone Camp
Speaker 1: to just you know, give her a little a little support.
Speaker 1: When mckelboy found out about this, he was upset and
Speaker 1: so he started harassing Tim Warren. He told him at
Speaker 1: one point on the phone that he was going to
Speaker 1: castrate him and then cut his little boy to pieces
Speaker 1: in front of him. So Tim Warren and then I
Speaker 1: mentioned he was a minister. Yeah, he started carrying a gun.
Speaker 1: Um the officer's wife, remember that patrol officer I talked about, Well,
Speaker 1: started getting threatened in calls. His daughter worked at a
Speaker 1: store in Maryville, which is a town not too terribly
Speaker 1: far away. Kim mccaroy got into the habit of showing
Speaker 1: up at the store and he lit up a shopping
Speaker 1: cart totally full of stuff, wheel it over to her
Speaker 1: checking station, and once you'd start ringing stuff up, he
Speaker 1: would walk out of the store. Meantime, his lawyer kept
Speaker 1: getting the trial delayed. So mcallaroy had lots and lots
Speaker 1: of months and threatened Bow and Tim Warren and everybody else.
Speaker 1: He would sit in the dn G tavern and talk
Speaker 1: openly about killing Bow. He would also sit outside the
Speaker 1: BnB store in his truck and scare away customers, and
Speaker 1: the bnb's business did drop off by quite a bit. Eventually,
Speaker 1: the trial finally happened on June. McElroy was convicted of
Speaker 1: second degree assault and he was sentenced to two years
Speaker 1: in prison, but the law allowed him to remain free
Speaker 1: during the appeal process, so he was still free to
Speaker 1: walk around. Four days after that, McIlroy was in the
Speaker 1: DNG tavern when Trina walked in with an m Won
Speaker 1: Durand rifle with the bayonet on it and handed it
Speaker 1: to Ken. That's uh. At this point, Can actually was
Speaker 1: not supposed to be in possession of a gun because
Speaker 1: of the terms of his of his bail. He was
Speaker 1: essentially out on bail during the appeal thing. Ken McElroy
Speaker 1: chambered around and started making jabbing motions in the air
Speaker 1: with the rifle and his bayonets, saying he was going
Speaker 1: to shoot Bobo and Camp in the face with it.
Speaker 1: And a local farmer named Pete Ward left the tavern
Speaker 1: with his sons at this time, and shortly after he
Speaker 1: took up station on the road between the DNG tavern
Speaker 1: and Bobo and Camp's house, and he had a rifle.
Speaker 1: He said his plan was to kill McElroy if he
Speaker 1: has if he was headed over to the Bowling camp house.
Speaker 1: And luckily for Chim McElroy, he didn't head that direction
Speaker 1: when he left the DNG, so he lived for another day.
Speaker 1: Okay imagined imagined already that McElroy was out on bond
Speaker 1: and he violated the terms of the bond with the rifle.
Speaker 1: The prosecutors filed a motion to revoke that bond, and
Speaker 1: the hearing was set for July tenth. That was, of course,
Speaker 1: the day that Ken got shot. A bunch of locals
Speaker 1: showed up in town that morning to drive over to
Speaker 1: the town of Bethany, which is where the hearing was
Speaker 1: going to take place. Their plan was to support the
Speaker 1: witnesses um who had actually seen the rifle brandishing. When
Speaker 1: they showed up, they found out that McElroy's lawyer had
Speaker 1: gotten the hearing post poems for ten days. Needless to say,
Speaker 1: that was upsetting to everybody. Everybody went over to the
Speaker 1: American Legion meeting hall nearby, and they called the county
Speaker 1: sheriff and asked him to come by. He showed up
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes later and advised everybody to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on McElroy and keep a call list so that
Speaker 1: Ken showed up at somebody's house and then they could
Speaker 1: summon help from others quickly. And then the sheriff got
Speaker 1: in this car and left town. Around this time, McElroy
Speaker 1: and Trina arrived in town and went into the DNNG.
Speaker 1: Word got over to the guys in the meeting hall,
Speaker 1: and somebody said, let's go have a beer. The crowd
Speaker 1: headed over to the dn G and they found Can
Speaker 1: and Trina drinking a beer. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: Ken was intimidated or not, but I hear Trina was.
Speaker 1: Mkelroy finished his beer, bought a six pack to go,
Speaker 1: and left um. At about the same time, two or
Speaker 1: three people were outside forming an action plan. Reports various
Speaker 1: to the number. These guys got rifles out of their trucks.
Speaker 1: Remember this is farm country, so people are driving around
Speaker 1: with rifles in their pickup trucks. The crowd in the
Speaker 1: dn G followed Keim McElroy out into the street. Ken
Speaker 1: got into his truck and started it, and then a
Speaker 1: number of shots rang out, two of which hit Kim McElroy,
Speaker 1: one in the neck and one in the head. Uh.
Speaker 1: And he went off to that big trailer park in
Speaker 1: the sky. His foot stomped down on the gas pedal
Speaker 1: and stayed there. The truck basically sat there, running into
Speaker 1: a full throttle for a little while until it finally
Speaker 1: seized up and quit a man. About forty five minutes later,
Speaker 1: somebody got around to calling an ambulance. Now here's our mystery.
Speaker 1: At least two dozen people were there on the street
Speaker 1: in Skidmore that morning. Uh, And according to some accounts
Speaker 1: that I've read, there may have been as many as
Speaker 1: sixty people, but nobody saw the shooters. So this one
Speaker 1: is a real head scratcher. How could it be that
Speaker 1: chem mc elroy was gunned down in broad daylight by
Speaker 1: two maybe three guys in front of dozens of people,
Speaker 1: and yet nobody happened to notice who pulled the triggers? Well,
Speaker 1: there are some theories out there, But before we start
Speaker 1: discussing our series, I'd like to introduce a couple of guests. Um,
Speaker 1: I guess our Steve and Devon from another podcast. Guys,
Speaker 1: come on out. Hey, Hey, how you guys doing you
Speaker 1: know good? Yeah? Fine, okay a cool? H. So you
Speaker 1: guys are on a podcast, right, yeah, you're all right,
Speaker 1: let's talk about series. Okay. Well, the theoriesn't have been floated. Uh,
Speaker 1: first theory UFOs. What do you guys think about that one?
Speaker 1: Al the aliens pretty much? Yeah? Yeah yeah. But as
Speaker 1: you know, and when alien abductions happened, they're always accompanied
Speaker 1: by memory loss. Um, so I'm thinking that perhaps there
Speaker 1: was a UFO nearby blasting the town with brain wiping
Speaker 1: rays at the moment that shooting was taking place. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the de leo about that. It's just
Speaker 1: that's just it's silly. I mean, it's somebody would have
Speaker 1: remembered it. Well, one person actually did claim to remember it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was I'm sorry. I just I read
Speaker 1: the Wikipedia page on this thing. I didn't do any
Speaker 1: any research for them. That actually just skimmed that summary
Speaker 1: at the top that that's pretty much all you ever do.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah. So the one person who saw it,
Speaker 1: who witnessed it was Trina who said she saw Dell Clement,
Speaker 1: who was co owner of the d n G tavern
Speaker 1: pulling a rifle out of his pickup truck. She was
Speaker 1: sitting inside Ken's truck the time. So what thinking happened
Speaker 1: is maybe the medal in the cabro I was shielding
Speaker 1: here from the brain wiping rays from the UFO O
Speaker 1: that the UFOs wiped the brain waves. They didn't have
Speaker 1: anything to do with the actual murder. Yeah, now they're
Speaker 1: they're just that's our that's our mystery here is how
Speaker 1: could there have been no witnesses? That people put on
Speaker 1: the tinfoil hats but the roof of the truck doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Is a tinfoil hat because it's got windows all around?
Speaker 1: That's fair? All right, let's talk about our next theory.
Speaker 1: All right, next theory. Squirrels. Uh, there are squirrels in
Speaker 1: Skidmore and and a lot of people did say something
Speaker 1: in the order they were looking at the squirrels and
Speaker 1: didn't notice the two guys with rifles because they're what
Speaker 1: obscenely cute, But they're are cute. I like squirrels. They're
Speaker 1: little cupe cabrash. Now they're not. Yeah, alright, so squirrels, Devin,
Speaker 1: you've got any thoughts on squirrels. Um, they're cute, They're cute. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's move on our next theory. They got this grain
Speaker 1: mold causes hallucinations and such. I've talked about this for
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's everybody's favorite go to theory for
Speaker 1: things like the Mary celest and everything else. Here's what
Speaker 1: you have to understand. Hey, that's mine. Okay, okay, Um,
Speaker 1: So did did the town share a common bread source?
Speaker 1: And were they all eating the same bread? Well, they
Speaker 1: were buying their bread at the BnB store, So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's I think very likely the supply was tainted
Speaker 1: by aircott and they were all highest kites and not
Speaker 1: really in a position to remember their own names, much
Speaker 1: less who killed who. Yeah, that's the dumbest thing I've
Speaker 1: ever heard. Well ostensibly, I guess. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go squirrels. You guys have you guys have a favorite.
Speaker 1: I think that dude was just a huge and everybody
Speaker 1: wanted him debt out there, don't you think a little bit? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're reaching on that one. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: sticking with squirrels. Yeah, and the aftermath, just about everybody
Speaker 1: in town was interrogated by the police, and no one
Speaker 1: saw a thing man, and they took a stab at Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm talking here. This is my show, remember, all right,
Speaker 1: let's let's get back. Oh yeah, the FBI. Yeah, the FBI,
Speaker 1: and nobody saw a thing. Once again, various grand juries
Speaker 1: looked into it. They declined to indict anybody, despite treating
Speaker 1: his claim that Dell Clement was one of the gunmen.
Speaker 1: For his part, Dell Clement said, quote, boys, I wish
Speaker 1: I could say I had done it, because he sure
Speaker 1: had it coming. But I didn't unquote. And I'm taking
Speaker 1: his word over Trina's. I think she must have hallucinated
Speaker 1: that there was another local named David Dunbar told reporters
Speaker 1: quote to be honest with you, and my only regret
Speaker 1: about the way Ken Rex died. I said, I didn't
Speaker 1: pull the trigger myself unquote. So so and it's the
Speaker 1: story of Ken McElroy killed by invisible gunman. All right.
Speaker 1: At this point in the show is just want to
Speaker 1: tell you where to find me. Find my email, find
Speaker 1: my Facebook and all that stuff. I'm not gonna go
Speaker 1: through all that. Just google the most awesome guy in
Speaker 1: the world. You'll find me. Now you guys, you said
Speaker 1: something you wanted to talk about your podcast a little bit. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: since you left us, we have to do a new one.
Speaker 1: We've been working on some materials and forgot to tell
Speaker 1: you that on my way out the door, I stole

Speaker 1: people have little black books with you know, names and
Speaker 1: phone numbers in them. Mine are full of all these

Speaker 1: you die and that they're gonna be like, wow, this
Speaker 1: dude was crazy. Yeah, what'd you get that? I need
Speaker 1: to get one of those. Yeah. No, it's got a
Speaker 1: little illustrations of shootings to try and figure out angles
Speaker 1: and stuff, and I okay, let's do the thing. Well okay,
