Speaker 3: So we're going to read you some hometowns that have

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: to do with like the music world, just to kind

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: of give it the little homage to Disgraceland.

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 1: Yeah it Disgraceland is about musicians behaving badly in criminal ways,

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: and Hollywood Land of courses about celebrities doing the same.

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: So we picked some stories to reference that.

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah you want to go first, sure, Okay, We're starting

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: off strong with a hardcore true crime story.

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, hello, Murderino Sisters.

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: Here it is taking all of our willpower not to

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: fangirl over the mere thought of you reading our email,

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: So we.

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: Will try our hardest to cut to the chase.

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: Our sister got married this summer in our hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: Imagine a year filled with the flurry of bridesmaiding events

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: and group texting leading up to our sister's big day. Finally,

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: after a stunning wedding, it was party time. We were

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: excited that our sister hired a local celebrity named DJ

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: Freeze to host her reception. Think famous like every childhood

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: school carnival, every high school dance house, DJ to or

35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: Grimy eighteen and up nightclubs famous. At the reception, the

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: bridal party toasts and the speeches drew on and on.

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: We snuck out to find the wedding coordinators and discussed

38
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: adding an hour to our venue contracts so we could

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: have more party time because the speeches went so long.

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: Really, nobody wants that so boring?

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Who cares?

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: Nobody cares?

43
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: Talk about it privately, please.

44
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: We had to talk separately to our boy, DJ Freese

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: since he was on a separate contract. What I thought

46
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: started as a schmoozy, Hey, what would it take for

47
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: you to work an extra hour? Conversations soon went downhill.

48
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: DJ Freeze was dramatically offended by my cash offer and

49
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: threatened to tell the bride and groom. Luckily we were

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: able to save the day, but it turned into me

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: slapping too many hundred dollars bills into Freeze's hand and

52
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: telling him your music sucks like the immature adult I am. Luckily,

53
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: the party went off without a hitch, and our sister

54
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: never knew what a dB DJ Freeze was to us.

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: Thirty six hours later, our phones illuminate to a flurry

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: of group texts. What could the bridesmaids possibly have left

57
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: to discuss? Well, apparently murder h that Monday morning. I

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: fucking remember this happening. Really that Monday morning. The headline

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: read cold case cracked. Suspect arrested in connection to nineteen

60
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: ninety two murder of Christi Mihrak rewind to Lancaster, Pennsylvania,

61
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: December nineteen ninety two. Christy Mihrack is a twenty four

62
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: year old elementary school teacher who lived in the apartments

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: about one point five miles from her childhood home in

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: the same complex. As many of our friends, she had

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: a classroom of students awaiting her arrival to school.

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: On that last day before the holiday.

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: Break, the school principal discovered her body as he visited

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: her apartment after many phone calls went unanswered.

69
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: She was twenty twenty four, so sad.

70
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: She had wrapped a book for each student as a

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: Christmas present, and the gifts were found scattered around the

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: room where her body was found. After thousands of tips

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: came in and interviews were conducted, the investigators were left

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: without any leads and ultimately the case went cold. Christie's

75
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: family continued to fight to keep her story in the

76
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: forefront of our community. They used to have billboards along

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: the freeway begging our community to continue to come with

78
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: any leads. Then, in May twenty eighteen, twenty five years later,

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: the case was cracked wide open thanks to our new

80
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: favorite crime solving method, ancestry DNA oh Wow. This break

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: came less than two months after the Golden State killer

82
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: conviction using ancestry DNA, and it is our understanding that

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: at this time this was only the second case in

84
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: the United States that has been solved.

85
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: Using this method.

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

87
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: Within only two days of receiving those ancestry DNA results

88
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: and conducting interviews in Lancaster, investigators were able to locate

89
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: their only suspect, now forty nine year old Raymond Row

90
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: aka DJ Freeze. Once Raymond Row was identified as her

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: suspect in May twenty eighteen, undercover agents surveiled him almost

92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 3: immediately at an elementary school carnival in Lancaster where he

93
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: was working a DJ gig. The agents were covered chewing

94
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: gum and a water bottle that Raymond Row had discarded

95
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: in the trash. DNA tests on these items soon proved

96
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: that he, in fact was a match to the mystery

97
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: DNA found on in and under Christie Merak's body twenty

98
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: five years before.

99
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

100
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: This break in the case emerged for the investigators just

101
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 3: hours before Raymond Row showed up to DJ our sister's wedding.

102
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: No wait, did he know?

103
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: No?

104
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Oh, so that was like the cops knew, but he

105
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: hadn't been Yeah.

106
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: Oh, I think after Raymond Roe was arrested less than

107
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: two days after the wedding.

108
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he would have known.

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: It has not been determined if or how Raymond Row

110
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: knew Christy Mehrak before murdering her. He lived in the

111
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: same town, just miles from the crime scene for more

112
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: years following the murder than Christy Mehrak lived her life

113
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: in its entirety.

114
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: Isn't that the creepy thing, Like same thing with the

115
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: Golden State Killer, where they just sit in their own

116
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: neighborhood and just their living regular life.

117
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 2: It's baffling.

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: It's so upsetting, and it's so like, yeah, I'm fair

119
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: hiding and plant siet.

120
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

121
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: Police arrested him at his home without incident and he

122
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: is currently being held without bond in the Lancaster County Jail.

123
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: Well he awaits trial SSDGMAA.

124
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Wow, I know.

125
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 3: And so this email was actually sent in October twenty six,

126
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. Oh so a long time ago. Yeah, some updates.

127
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: The story is still unfolding. But Raymond Rowe DJ Freeze

128
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: pleaded guilty in January twenty nineteen, but less than a

129
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: year later he began appealing his conviction. And this is

130
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: from Lancaster Online. Rote testified at an August twenty twenty

131
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: one hearing that he and Marrak had a secret relationship

132
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: and the day she was killed, he said they had

133
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: consensual sex and she was alive when he left the townhouse.

134
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: And so he's appealing his.

135
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: Latest loss in a bid to have DNA testing done

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: on other items at the scene.

137
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: So that's the update.

138
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: Wow, slowly but surely you're going to convert me to

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: liking cold cases, because when you start an email like

140
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: that and people start telling that story where it's like,

141
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: please tell me that they found it, Please tell me

142
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: that it's over.

143
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: I know, and there was like less than nothing as

144
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: far as evidence goes back, you know that they had

145
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: as he wasn't a suspect. I don't think he was

146
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: just nobody in her life. Yeah, so the fact that

147
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: they found him is just purely because of DNA and

148
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: investigative research.

149
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cold case heam.

150
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

151
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: Okay, this is also you know, true crimey, but definitely

152
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: a different direction. The subject line of this email is

153
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: I almost got fired for refusing to serve R Kelly

154
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: and one of the it's a great email that has

155
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting tidbits in it. But also Jake

156
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: covered R Kelly on Disgraceland his episode one seventy nine

157
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: June of twenty twenty four, and the title is R

158
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Kelly Superstars Super predators and a twenty year reign of

159
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: sexual terror. Wow. So if you have not heard Disgraceland's

160
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 1: coverage of the R. Kelly You Know journey, I guess

161
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: we could call it episode one seventy nine. Go listen

162
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: to that. It's episode one seventy nine. So this email starts, Hello, all,

163
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: I've been in the fire. I'm dining service industry for

164
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: almost sixteen years. Naturally, many celebrities have dined at establishments

165
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: that I've worked at. I won't name names, but just

166
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: note that Patty Smith is a sweetheart and just to

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: now double plow, just Gracelind has an episode that's all

168
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: about Patty Smith. It came out April seventh, so you

169
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: can go listen to it now. Wow, he does it all. Okay,

170
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: So back in July of twenty nineteen, I was working

171
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: in the Gold Coast of Chicago in what they call

172
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: the Viagra Triangle, which is essentially where rich old men

173
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: bring their mistress out.

174
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,359
Speaker 2: Oh my god, gross shower.

175
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: It's a bleach bath. Please. So it says R. Kelly

176
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: and his group of lawyers came in to dine in

177
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: my section. His bodyguard or manager had overheard the conversation

178
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: I had with a matre D about my refusal to

179
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: wait on a fucking predator and blue up on me.

180
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: Good for you.

181
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: He said something along the line of everybody's got to eat,

182
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: to which I replied, if I ran a bodega, I

183
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't sell him ramen noodles. Let's not bring Rochmond middles

184
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: in it, and they're just as good as any fucking

185
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: steak and bodegas. The matre d told me to go

186
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: outside and cool off. What a classic matre D move.

187
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: Go cool off?

188
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: Okay, how about you, coola, Needless to say, Yet another

189
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 1: employee serve the table. Also in my section was a

190
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: group of men who had repeatedly asked to take pictures

191
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: with him. The undistinguished mister Kelly refused photos due to

192
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: bad press at the time, but instead decided to pick

193
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: up their check because he knew I was their waiter

194
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: and it would be an excuse for me to approach

195
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: him again after the scene that was made earlier. Dude,

196
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I handed him the check to sign, which he did,

197
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: but he had written a zero on the tip line.

198
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: I opened the book, holding the check in front of him,

199
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: saw that he had stiffed me, laughed and said, yeah,

200
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: that sounds about right, and walked away. His entourage complained

201
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: to management about my behavior to a point where I

202
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: was almost fired, and they waited outside the restaurant and

203
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: followed me to the train, calling me multiple derogatory terms

204
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of class. Though I no longer work at

205
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: this establishment, and I highly doubt he listens to your

206
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: show in prison, I relish the fact that this story

207
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: helped me have a dialogue with my wonderful girlfriend I

208
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: met only a few days before. This incident drew us

209
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: closer together. She introduced me to your show, and when

210
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: we go on road trips, one of us always ask

211
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: the question, you want to listen to the girls? Thank

212
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: you both for all you do, stay sexy, and please

213
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: remember that tipping twenty percent is bare minimum. Yes, sincerely, Hayden.

214
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: Wow, Hayden, Hayden.

215
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: Standing up fighting the good fight all alone.

216
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: Appreciate you. That's fucking awesome. Yeah, twenty two percent is

217
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 3: my minimum now.

218
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, Yet, Also, the excuse everyone's got to

219
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: eat is disgusting.

220
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: Come on, seriously, I have one more? Where are you going?

221
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: All right?

222
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: Two?

223
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: More?

224
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? No? No, I sorry, I was not going anywhere.

225
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: I just tell you to see what I was doing.

226
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: David Bowie's a rest story in Rochester, New York.

227
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: Oo.

228
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: And so David Bowie was covered in disgrace Land on

229
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 3: episode seventy one.

230
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: So check that out.

231
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: It's called David Bowie, the Occult, Cocaine, Orgi's arrests, exorcism,

232
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: a weird flirtation with fascism, and a dead body. That's

233
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 3: the Disgraceline episode.

234
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: It's so good. Yeah, I listened to that whole thing

235
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: and it's great.

236
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: And you know David Bowie's mugshot, right, you've seen that everyone.

237
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: He was only snorting cocaine and eating red peppers at

238
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: the time, like that was his diet, that was his thing.

239
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: Hi, Georgia and Karen, I'm originally from India, but I've

240
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: been living in Rochester, New York for four years now.

241
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: What a weird switch to go from India to Rochester,

242
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: New Upstate New York.

243
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: A little bit chillier, I would say, in upstate remark.

244
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: The city has a lot of history, home of Susan B. Anthony,

245
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: Frederick Douglass began publishing the north Star newspaper here, and

246
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: of course George Eastman but after the demise of Kodak,

247
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: nothing exciting has really happened here today.

248
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: I was looking through a local.

249
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: Boutique I want to say, Bouquet so bad and found

250
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: a wallprint of David Bowie's mugshot dated March twenty fifth,

251
00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy six.

252
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: Had to google the backstory.

253
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: Back in the day, famous people held concerts here must

254
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: be nice. Bowie performed at the Community War Memorial and

255
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: headed back to his hotel room for general merriment. With

256
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: him was his bodyguard, Iggy Pop, and three girls, one

257
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 3: of whom was a local he had taken a fancy

258
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: to during the concert.

259
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: Iggy Pop and David Bowie together, We're just.

260
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: Going to go hang out at the at the Higott.

261
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: Zero percent body fat. Let's just do so much cocaine.

262
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: One hundred percent cocaine, zero percent body fat, so many

263
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: red peppers.

264
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: As they were hanging out, three police officers showed up

265
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: at the door. Bowie opened the door and was instantly

266
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: knocked backwards by the officers trying to get in. The

267
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 3: entire party was busted for possession of half a pound

268
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: of marijuana. Turns out, two of the girls present at

269
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: the party were undercover, acting on a tip that they

270
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: would find cocaine in his hotel room, and police had

271
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: set up shop in the adjacent room, listening through the

272
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: wall using a stethoscope.

273
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: The fuck come on, Rochester, bring reggae please. We thought

274
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: you were good than that.

275
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: When one of the girls asked where she could score some,

276
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: which is entrapmentt for sure, it was reason enough for

277
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 3: them to barge in Guys Enjoy. Although no cocaine, there

278
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: was ample marijuana to make the arrest. Bowie and company

279
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: were held in Monroe County jail for a few hours,

280
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 3: but let go on a two thousand dollars bail each

281
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: so that he could drive on to his next concert location.

282
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: Apparently Bowie was afraid of flying. After his American tour,

283
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 3: he went back to England on a boat. Oh shit anyway.

284
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 3: In May nineteen seventy six, the charges were dismissed after

285
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: a grand jury declined to indict Bowie because they're not

286
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: fucking narks. At the time of his initial hearing, a

287
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: reporter had asked you if he had any sour feelings

288
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: about returning to Rochester after the arrest, to which Bowie

289
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 3: had replied, certainly, not absolutely not, needless to say, he

290
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: never performed in Rochester again.

291
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: Of course, stay sexy.

292
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 3: And only reveal your stash to the trusted sale pronounced sale,

293
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: she her.

294
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean, such a good story. Yeah, I'm sure they

295
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: did that to anybody that coming through town for whose

296
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: hair was like longer than her chin, who.

297
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: Was like a feminine man. Yeah.

298
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that crazy, those crazy rock and roll boys. I

299
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: told you that. My dad and I one holiday break,

300
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: we're watching the Bowie documentary and I just kind of

301
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: flipped it on and left it there, and he he

302
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: was flipping around. He left it there, and then I

303
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: was like, he's not turning it, so I was just

304
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: staying quiet and watching it with him. And he watched

305
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: it for like a half an hour, through all these

306
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: crazy stories and performances, and then he in one shot

307
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: he's walking on stage barefoot, and my dad goes, oh,

308
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: he's barefoot and changes the channel. That's what gets him off.

309
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: The bar foot was barefoot to live it.

310
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: Too far, dropping acid, dressing like a spider from Mars,

311
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: none of it. It's all fine with Jim.

312
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: He can't he just can't tolerate bare feet.

313
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: Oh look at this, I mean I think it's gross,

314
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: but you're on board. Okay, Well, now that we're in

315
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: true rock and roll worlds and I'm not going to

316
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: read to the subject line, and I'll tell you about

317
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: the disgrace lined episode that this connects to a can't

318
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: This just starts. When I was a very punk rock

319
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: teenager in Boston in the late nineties, I worked at

320
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: a fancy punk goth clothing store on Newberry Street. We

321
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: worked on commission, and whoever greeted the customer first was

322
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: their salesperson throughout and got the sale. One day, the

323
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: store was empty on a Friday afternoon, and this middle

324
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: aged couple came in. They weren't in my section, but

325
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: after fifteen minutes, no one had gone to help, and

326
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: the man was holding a bunch of pants to try on.

327
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: I went over and introduced myself and offered to start

328
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: a room for him. He had a British accent, and

329
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: he told me his band was playing in town that

330
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: night and he was looking for clothes to wear on stage.

331
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: We got a lot of musicians, so I didn't really

332
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: react or ask any follow up questions. Instead, I just

333
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: started offering him more pants. I remember specifically complimenting him

334
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: on his Diamond Star earing. He shopped with me for

335
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes and then went to the dressing room,

336
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: where I explained that we had a three item per

337
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: room limit. Who was it? Okay, but I would stand

338
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: outside the and just swap things out with him. His

339
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: wife and he both laughed and said, you think I'm

340
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna run off with something? He said, you think I'm

341
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna run off with something in a joking manner. I responded,

342
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: also in a jokey way. You never know. So I

343
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: stood there as he tried on pants and opened the

344
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: door to hand them back out and get new ones.

345
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: After he bought about five hundred dollars worth of stuff

346
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: and they left, My manager came over with the sales

347
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: receipt and said, dumbfounded, do you know who that was? Got? Okay,

348
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: some guy whose band's playing tonight, I answered uncertainly. He

349
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: then showed me the signature, very clearly written, Ringo Star.

350
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: One of the Beatles was gonna shoplift some pants from

351
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: their store.

352
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: Okay, go on, I just don't speaking. Okay.

353
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: I could not have been more embarrassed, but I hope

354
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: he enjoyed not being recognized and being treated like everyone

355
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: else got it, Actually.

356
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: I fucking doubt it. You're a beetle.

357
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Well, but maybe for that very reason, Like since ever

358
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: since he was twenty eight years old, Yeah, no one's

359
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: treated ever treated him like that, I bet, unless they're

360
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: trying to be cute.

361
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: Or was he like, oh no, I've lost it. I

362
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: don't know, solastened because it wasn't the Beatles.

363
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: Oh maybe the Traveling Wilbury's there you go. And then

364
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: it just assigned Erica and then it says ps his boxers.

365
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: Was what he saw his boxers.

366
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: PS's boxers were white with a blue pinstripe, and he

367
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: and his wife were both incredibly nice. You just gave

368
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: away at the most secret piece of information you possibly could,

369
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: and they're like, but they're such lovely.

370
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: People, that Ringo star Wars boxers. Oh my god.

371
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 3: But like I feel like the nineties, if it was

372
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 3: someone like you didn't really know in a band and

373
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: a big band, but ring Ghosts, I feel like everyone

374
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 3: recognized from ghostar back then.

375
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: I guess you'd think so, but maybe that she was

376
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: punk rock. That's what she was, punk rock, and like

377
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: our generation would maybe.

378
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: We're the cutoff. Wow, that was so entertaining.

379
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: So if you want to hear more about Ringo Star,

380
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: go to episode one to eleven of Disgraceland, because that

Speaker 1: That's our addition to the show.

385
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: Okay, this one is about Taylor Swift, who was covered

386
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 3: in Disgraceland on episode ninety three. Hey KG, thank you

387
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 3: for being my ear drum besties these past eight years

388
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: and counting. In twenty ten, I was in a college

389
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 3: a cappella group called the UCSD Tritones Tritones.

390
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 2: The name is a musical pun on.

391
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: Our mascot, King Triton, Oh Tritones Perfect.

392
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: One casual day about cash was a serious day?

393
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: Is this uc San Diego U No, Yeah, SD CSD

394
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah India the Tritons. I want to see that mascot.

395
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: One casual day.

396
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: About halfway through the school year, we receive an email

397
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: from someone claiming to be the business manager of none

398
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: other than Taylor Swift. They asked if we were interested

399
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: in being backup singers for Taylor's upcoming performance at the

400
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: American Country Music Awards, but it was a secret act

401
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: since we the choir would not be revealed until the

402
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 3: end of the song for dramatic effect. We all thought, yeah, right,

403
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: there was no way this email slash opportunity was legit.

404
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: Well it totally was.

405
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: Turns out they were looking for singers around her age

406
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: and they found us via video we posted to YouTube

407
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 3: singing a te Swift cover of You Belong with Me?

408
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: Pretty sure? Is that the same song from the fucking

409
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: first one? Different song? Damn it? That would have been cool,

410
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: Pretty sure.

411
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: The video was terrible quality by twenty twenty four standards

412
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 3: and was taken in a poorly lit lecture hall, but

413
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 3: it did the trick in helping us get discovered.

414
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah it did.

415
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 3: A few months later, in April, we a random collection

416
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: of college kids, had the gig of a lifetime at

417
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: the forty fifth Acmas in Last Vegas.

418
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: We did our best.

419
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: To keep it from our friends and family, who mostly

420
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: found out from watching us on national cable TV. Says

421
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: Hello twenty ten so cool. I will say, Taylor is

422
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: truly a class act. We had to record the bas

423
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: track on Easter weekend due to limited studio availability, she

424
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: took the time out of her holiday to call in

425
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: from Nashville to say hi and personally thank us for

426
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 3: our time.

427
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that is classy beyond belief. There's so many

428
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: celebrities and people who let everybody else do work like that, right.

429
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: And like you're lucky to be working with me. Yeah.

430
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: No. Then after the performance, she did her best to

431
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: give as many of us individual hugs before being whisked

432
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: away by her security team.

433
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: I wonder how many people are in that choir.

434
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: Probably a lot, just like it's a choir.

435
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. We also got hugs from her super sweet mom,

436
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: who at the time said she'd never missed one of

437
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: her daughter's performances to date. And then that emoji that's

438
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 3: about to start crying the little you know. Oh, and

439
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 3: there were a ton of extra bonus lob sightings from

Speaker 2: Hey.

457
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: That happened when I was, of course very young, and

458
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: I got a call on a Saturday, can you come

459
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: into audition for Seinfeld? And I immediately said fuck off,

460
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: whoever this is and hung up the phone. And they

461
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: called back and were like they were laughing, but they're like, oh,

462
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: we understand why you would do that, but it is

463
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: actually because they were calling me directly and normally that's

464
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: not how it went. And I couldn't stop laughing. And

465
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 1: then I had actually a very good audition for the

466
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: first word I said, but I got a laugh and

467
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: then distracted myself and then didn't remember the last of

468
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: the rest of my single. Line. But the good news

469
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: is it the character in the line didn't make it.

470
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 2: To the line. Give it to us now, like the

471
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: she could do.

472
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: You know how Lane danced weird. So we're back at

473
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: the same staff party where she's going to dance weird again,

474
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: and I am the cater waiter who comes up and

475
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: the line I got to laugh on because the first

476
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: thing was you're just offering people floutas floutas, and so

477
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: I went floutus and I did it with a fake accent,

478
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: and it got a laugh in a room that Jerry

479
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: Seinfeld and Larry David were in, and there was literally like,

480
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: to me, in my mind it was like thirty writers,

481
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: but I bet you it was ten. But it was

482
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: a huge Sirifel writer Seinfeld writer laughing.

483
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: And so then.

484
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: I gave it a nice pH and then the casting

485
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: dictor said, whatever the next line was, I think it's

486
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: a Lane's line, and then I was just kind of

487
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: blanked out because I was like, man, that was awesome.

488
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: I did it. Who was the line?

489
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: It was something like, remember, hey, remember the lady who

490
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: danced crazy last year, But I'm saying it to her

491
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: the whole.

492
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: Joke and never eaten a flower? Does it get I mean,

493
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: I can't.

494
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: I can't look at them. It gives me acid stomach

495
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: and holy shit, I know. So okay, here's my last one.

496
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: The subject line of these email is trash Grandma shushed

497
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: at noozies. So there's no Disgraceland episode connecting to this.

498
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: But talk about a punk rock Gramma. Okay, Hi, Karen

499
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: in Georgia. My Nan is the best kind of trash grandma.

500
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: She has always been sassy, independent and brutally honest growing up.

501
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: If we complained about being thirsty, she'd say, drink your

502
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: spit ew hungry, bite your tongue. These are my people.

503
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: She pulled out my first tooth with slightly rusty needle

504
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: nosed pliers. You get the picture. In around twenty twelve,

505
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: my family and I all went to see Newsies on Broadway.

506
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: Do you remember that musical? My poor Nan has always

507
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: had bad hearing, which caused issues when watching the show.

508
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: She couldn't hear anything that was happening, and she kept

509
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: loudly whispering to my sister, what did they say? And

510
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: what's going on? And who is that? We kept telling

511
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: her that she was whispering too loudly, but that only

512
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: made things worse because then she would yell, what did

513
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: you say? Oh God, it was pointless to try to

514
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: get her to be quieter. And it must be really

515
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: hard to not be able to hear what's going on

516
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: around you, for sure. That's a nice little parenthetical of empathy.

517
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: At some point, people around us started to notice, including

518
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: the man in front of us who started shushing her.

519
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: He eventually got so frustrated that he turned around and yelled, please,

520
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: just please.

521
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: Oh I want to rate this man, but I feel

522
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 3: for him.

523
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: No, I was him when we went to see Hamilton,

524
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: a full family that was like, hey, do you ever

525
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: see it? Like full voice conversation.

526
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: That's not okay, but like a little old lady.

527
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: A little old lady's different. But this was like every

528
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: member of the family, now, fuck you all making small

529
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: talk back there, And I did a full leaned forward

530
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: and turned my upper body like a horror movie as

531
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: a far around as I could, and I was like,

532
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: will you please stop talking?

533
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 2: And they say.

534
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: The father was like, I'm so sorry, and he got

535
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: them all together and they did. Only then do we

536
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: realize that the man who had been shushing my nan

537
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: was none other then star trek Legend. George to Kai, No,

538
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: you can't hurt George to Kai, No, please don't infuriate George.

539
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: Of course, my trash grandmother just responded, excuse me, Who

540
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: the hell does he think he is? George to Kai,

541
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: that's who. That's what they wrote.

542
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: I love it.

543
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: My nan is ninety years old and has pretty aggressive

544
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: dimension now, but this story always reminds me of who

545
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: she is at her core, which is a blunt, hilarious,

546
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: badass woman who has lived a long and wonderful life.

547
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: Stay sexy and hug your grandparents if you still have them.

548
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 3: Grace, Oh my god, Gracie. There couldn't have been a

549
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: better person to like that, to surprise you with the

00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: you're crying.

551
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: It's so it's like a sketch on TV, because George

552
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: Kakai is like the chillest, greatest, like lovely person, right,

553
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,040
