00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: technically we're in a different class, like physically we're probably

00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: Mama Told Me the podcast. This is that update the

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: podcast where we died deep, deep into the pockets of

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: black conspiracy theories and we finally work to prove the

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: theories that you the listeners have at home. It's many,

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: it's strong, it's exciting. I'm excited to be here. We're

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: gonna have an interesting time because today today's uh submission

20
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: from one of our dear listeners actually was a suggestion

21
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: I had never heard before. I've never heard this conspiracy theory.

22
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: It's brand new to me in a in a very

23
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: fun way. Very often. I've never thought about a lot

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: of conspiracy theories, but a lot of them that come

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: across my desk I've at least vaguely heard of. I

26
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: have not heard this once in my life, and that's

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: exciting for me. And it's a fucked up one. Let

28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: me tell you just ahead of before we even jump

29
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: into it. This one's real funked up. It comes to

30
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: us from a woman named a person. Let's say, person

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: don't know that this is a woman. It's a person

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: named Doria. And I hope I'm pronouncing that name right,

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: because if not, it's a little too close to diarrhea

34
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: for my taste. You know, it feels like I'm being

35
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: mean to a person if I say their name wrong

36
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: when it's this close to liquid poop. But I hope

37
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: your name's Doria, and I hope you don't ever get

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: called liquid poop by your peers. I hope you had

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: an easy childhood where no one ever made fun of you.

40
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: For the name Doria. Certainly, I won't start today, even

41
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: though I've made quite a few suggestions of how one

42
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: would make fun of you, should they decide to do so.

43
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: But Doria said high Lengthston loved the pot in both

44
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: intro songs. That's very nice and I'm so sorry for

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: how I spoke to you. Anyway, I was watching Ashley

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: say So on YouTube no idea who that person is?

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Where she talks about old Hollywood scandals. I watched the

48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: one on Marvin Gaye, which I I already knew would

49
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: be a full mess with his father, marriages, drug use,

50
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: et cetera. She ended episode saying that it was rumored

51
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: that prior to Marvin gaye stardom, he was the neighborhood

52
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: serial killer. WHOA hold the phone? He was the neighborhood

53
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: serial killer. She says there were several killings of women

54
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: in the area where he lived, and once he left

55
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: for his music career, the murder stopped. I had never

56
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: heard of this before, and now I'm super curious. I

57
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: know you will do the work on this conspiracy. Thanks

58
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: in advanced Thanks Doria. Okay, oh boy, I whoa, I

59
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: ain't never heard anybody accused Marvin Gay of being a

60
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: serial killer. I've heard of him having all sorts of

61
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: sordid sex with with both men and women. I've heard

62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: of him being a massive drug user, but as serial killer.

63
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Never heard that once, and so I decided to do

64
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: some digging, as is expected of me for these many episodes.

65
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: What if I heard that? I was just like, fuck it,

66
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: it's true, you dumb bitches, and then just walked away.

67
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: What if that was the energy I went into this with.

68
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: But now that's not the energy I started with. I

69
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: actually did some googling, and it turns out the original

70
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: suggestion of Marvin Gay being a potential serial killer seems

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: to come from a post on a site called Crazy

72
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Days and Nights, which you already know is a legit

73
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: source for information on Marvin Gay. You know, if anybody's

74
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: tapped in on the gay estate and and really has

75
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: good sources for information on what the comings and goings

76
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: were of Marvin Gay back in the seventies and eighties,

77
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: it's got to be Crazy Days and Night anyway. On

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: December twenty seventeen, they posted a a very long post

79
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna read it to you all now, but

80
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: they posted a post that says in the late nineteen

81
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: fifty there was a string of serial killings in a

82
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: large Midwestern city. They never were solved. At the time,

83
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: the police had no suspects and the victims were all prostitutes.

84
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: They were mostly high school aged. The victims had one

85
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: thing in common. They all had been runaways so had

86
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: no family locally. At the time, there was no suspect

87
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: for the police to chase, and with relatives of the

88
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: murdered distant in miles or uncaring, that were moved to

89
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: a cold case file. About a decade later, there were

90
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: two other prostitutes killed in a similar fashion as to

91
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: the victims in the late nineteen fifties. This time the

92
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: police had a suspect. The problem was for them, the

93
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: suspect was an A list singer, a singer who had

94
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: powerful friends behind him who were all making a lot

95
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: of money. Because of the singing, A huge sum of

96
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: money was paid to certain police officers and city officials.

97
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: The singer was never charged, let alone question by the police.

98
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: When that happened, the singer stopped his killing For a

99
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: number of years. Later in his life the pattern emerged again.

100
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Always desperate for drugs, he would pay for prostitutes and

101
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: then send them out for drugs. When they came back

102
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 1: with the drugs, he would beat them a few times.

103
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: Under the influence of drugs. He would take it too

104
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: far and they ended up dead. Again, nothing was done.

105
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: A couple of the women who survived the beatings and

106
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: heard rumors that others were killed tried to say something

107
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: and report that now Icon to the police, but instead

108
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: would be arrested on drug charges and told to let

109
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: it go. They would face long jail sentences. And then

110
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: this for some reason post ends by saying Marvin Gay

111
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: as if Marvin Gay wrote this letter, which he did not.

112
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: The writer is instead suggesting Marvin Gay is the alleged

113
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: singer in this conversation. Now, a few things immediately stand

114
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: out to me when I read silly ship like this.

115
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Number one, This post came out December seen that basically

116
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: means three days after Christmas, three days after getting gifts

117
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: and hanging out with family and celebrating some people's Lord

118
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: and Savior, the false birth of the Lord and Savior,

119
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: some psychopaths woke up and decided to start an extremely

120
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: vague internet chain where they accused Marvin Gay of killing

121
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: prostitutes thirty plus years earlier. I guess, in this case

122
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: forty fifty plus years earlier. That's the first thing that

123
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: stands out to me. The second thing that I think

124
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: is worth talking about is the suggestion that this a

125
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: list singer in the nineteen I guess sixties and seventies

126
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: by this point, is able to just work his way

127
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: around police accountability, that that a black man in the

128
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: sixties and seventies, it's somehow not being held accountable by

129
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: the police or the law because he, I guess saying

130
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: what's going on? I think, I guess that's the thing

131
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: that the police just couldn't handle putting Marvin Gay in prison,

132
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: which feels a little absurd to me as well. More importantly,

133
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: and this required a little more digging because this obviously

134
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: is an extremely vague letter. It it doesn't have much information.

135
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: It's not even saying what city these things are happening in,

136
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: or who specifically is being murdered, or suggesting that they

137
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: know of these murders or even beatings. It's just sort

138
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: of a cat in the hat style writing the suggesting

139
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: of a murder somewhere and then blaming it on Marvin Gay, Right,

140
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: at the end that said a person named David Ritz

141
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: who was working on a Marvin Gay biography before he

142
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: died and basically has uh some suggestion of rights to

143
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: the Marvin Gay story. David Ridge suggests that the Gay

144
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: family now it's worth noting Marvin supposedly added the E

145
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: to his last name. It was spelled g A y

146
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: He went with G A y E because of his

147
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: personal turmoil with this family's sexual history. Apparently, his father

148
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: was known for for getting drunk and dressing up in

149
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: women's clothes, and he he had a number of uncles

150
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: who I guess were also queer or openly gay. And

151
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: his father was a a very stringent preacher, h preacher

152
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: at a church who would beat any and everybody who

153
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: didn't follow the lord's ways. And so I think it

154
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: it suggested that it created a a strong complexity in

155
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: Marvin Gay's head, and he wanted to steer as far

156
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: away from the possibility that he too might be homosexual,

157
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: and that E, I guess did some of that work

158
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: for him. There are also suggestions in David Ritt's biography

159
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: of Marvin Gay that Marvin had a similarly strong history

160
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: of violence in his family. That his family was rich

161
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: with violence. I just told you his dad used to

162
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: beat the ship out of him and his family. He

163
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: now he mostly beat Marvin because Marvin wouldn't stop singing

164
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: secular music, you know what I mean. Marvin was up

165
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: there saying about getting girls wet, and his father didn't

166
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: care for that one bit, so he would beat the

167
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: ship down him. But apparently it wasn't the only reason

168
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: that his dad would beat the ship out of people.

169
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: His mother included. But he says that there's a strong

170
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: history of violence in this family. Even says, and this

171
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: is quoting David Rich, He says, Marvin's mother told me

172
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: that there was all kinds of violence in the family

173
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: in Kentucky. She said that one of her brothers in

174
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: law had actually killed a woman. Marvin was haunted by

175
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: this background. He felt he must have inherited his family's sin.

176
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: But it was just as bad on his mother's side.

177
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: His father actually once shot her mother, though he didn't

178
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: kill her, and he died in a hospital for the insane. Now,

179
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: this could easily be what's being conflated when this person,

180
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: on crazy days and nights decides to write a real

181
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: fucked up, vague story about Marvin gave the serial killer.

182
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: He obviously comes from a weird family filled with violence,

183
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: that women were killed and shot and hurt as a

184
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: result of the men in his family. And maybe this

185
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: is a a person who read this biography and began

186
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: doing some conflating. Marvin's father also mercifully, and we talked

187
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: about the beating for his sinful nature, which was largely

188
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: connected to his his inability to connect back to gospel

189
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: music instead of uh, the nasty music he put out

190
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: on the radio. And now it's worth noting also his

191
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: dad would later kill Marvin Gay. His own father killed him.

192
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: For those of you that don't know, he shot Marvin

193
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: with a gun that Marvin had actually bought him a

194
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: few weeks earlier. His father was looking for a letter

195
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: in house. He was raging around very angry, presuming that

196
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: his mother, Marvin's mother, knew what that letter was. He

197
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: burst into a room where Marvin and his mother were

198
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: hanging out, I guess talking, and then he went towards

199
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: his Marvin's mother to presumably do one of those classic

200
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: beatings he's known for. Marvin stepped in punched his dad

201
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: in the face, and his dad had had previously quoted

202
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: that if Marvin had ever laid a hand on him,

203
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: he would kill him. And then he did exactly that.

204
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: He shot Marvin in the chest and he was only

205
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: given five years probation, which is fucking crazy. But you know,

206
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: you kill one of the most famous and prolific singers

207
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: of all time, and I guess, uh, all's well that

208
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: ends well, I don't know, it's pretty There's no cool

209
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: way to explain away why the court system would allow

210
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: that to happen. But who am I to judge? You know,

211
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: I might murder my family someday, so so I'm holding

212
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: tight to being able to get five years probation. I

213
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: shouldn't laugh at that. That's not a funny thing anyway.

214
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: It is worth noting this same story of Marvin's father

215
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: also suggests that Marvin struggled between this holy and secular

216
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: experience was something that he lived with both in his

217
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: childhood and well into adulthood, and it also was something

218
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: that really he struggled with. At the introduction of Marvin

219
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: Gaye the sex symbol, he was not a man. According

220
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: to David Ritz, who liked being a sex symbol, he

221
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: was actually a much more shy reserved person than his

222
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: music and sort of like identity out in the world

223
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: actually suggested, and he used cocaine and other drugs to

224
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: better access that part of his persona, which eventually led

225
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: him to become impotent both physically and psychologically. He just

226
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: could not bring himself to do all of the things

227
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: that his music would lead women to make him think

228
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: he could do. In fact, because of his intense religious upbringing,

229
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: Marvin didn't even lose his virginity until he was seventeen,

230
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: and you guessed it, he lost that virginity with a prostitute.

231
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: Now again, his history with prostitutes, sex workers. I think

232
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: there's probably a more PC way of referring to these

233
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: people at this point, but sex workers was that well documented.

234
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean he was murdering the motherfucker's It

235
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: sounds like, according to biography, he would often just invite

236
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: these women back to hold him and make him feel whole.

237
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: In fact, Marvin once said, prostitutes protect me from passion.

238
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: He said in an interview with Actual magazine the year

239
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: before he died, Passions are dangerous. They cause you to

240
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: lust after other men's wives. In terms of his wife

241
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: and his sexual relationships. Marvin actually had two wives, one

242
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: of which was Verry Gordy's sister, who was seventeen years

243
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: older than him. That relationship did not go well and

244
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: end up leaving Marvin very broke and very sort of

245
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: without functional means for the remainder of his life. He

246
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: then went on to marry a lady named Jan Gay,

247
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: who claims that he would often force her into sexual

248
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: situations with other men and would get his rocks off

249
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: by either watching or catching them in the act. He

250
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: would rarely participate himself, so basically he would force her

251
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: to basically get hit on and or have threesomes or

252
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: orgies with other people, and instead of being a part

253
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: of that, he just wanted to watch, which might explain

254
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: be explained rather by the suggestion that he had done

255
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: so much cocaine his pp didn't work the way he

256
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: was supposed to. Jan, his wife, would later leave Marvin

257
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: Gay for Teddy Pendergrass, his number one competition at the time. So,

258
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think, in the long run, and this

259
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: is all a lot of information dealing in uh sordid

260
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: sexual acts and prostitution and and all kinds of crazy things,

261
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day. It seems like

262
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: Marvin Gay had a pretty fucked up life. It wasn't

263
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: exactly a life that one would envy other than his

264
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: his exceptional musical gift. And so with that, you could

265
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: easily add some some spices to that story by making

266
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: up some shit about him being a murderer, because at

267
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: this point, fuck it, with everything that happened in his life,

268
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: he should kill people, and he deserves to kill people.

269
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: The man mercy, mercy me. If anybody deserves to murder

270
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: some people, it should be Marvin Gay. So do I

271
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: think Marvin Gay was an actual serial killer? He was not.

272
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: He was a very troubled man who lived a very

273
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: troubled life and somehow managed to still make beautiful music

274
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: in the in the wake of everything that was happening

275
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: to him. That said, should he decide to come back

276
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: from the grave as some sort of serial killer, he's

277
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: got my support. You got my vote, Marvin Gay. Kill away,

278
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: kill away, Marvin Gay, because you deserve it. I love

279
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: everything you do, and whoever wrote this article is mean

280
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: and uh deserves the exact same treatment that Robin Think got.

281
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: You deserve the Marvin Gay estate to come after you

282
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: and take everything from your life, including your wife, your

283
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: beautiful wife, Paula Patton. They should take everything because you're

284
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: you're a garbage person and you know what you did

285
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: Robin Think and the person on Crazy Days and night. Okay,

286
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: that's it. Well, if you want to accuse any other
