2:50
like, TikTok might be illegal in
2:52
our land right now.
2:54
But yeah, and we're not even talking about it because
2:56
we don't know. It's just, you know, an idea
2:59

3:01
an idea in the air.
3:02

We'll see, we'll see. I got friends moving

3:17
Canada?
3:18
Yeah, one, it's one friend. I don't know why I said plural,
3:20
but it's him and his boyfriend. Uh, but yeah,
3:23
he's rich, so he can do that. And
3:25
well that was the thing.
3:26
It was like Roberts in here and like certain people being
3:28
like and I'm out of here. It's like no
3:30
one actually cares about you. Like you
3:32
were a millionaire with homes everywhere already,
3:35
so what is you leaving? Have any You're not doing
3:37
anything right, right? I mean
3:40
you should you should go survive. They kill
3:42
artists, like sure, if you're a millionaire. But it's just
3:44
like, I'm sorry, I don't care.
3:46
Ellen.
3:46
If you're moved to France, yeah, yeah,
3:48
yeah, I think you would have been fine.
3:51
So, oh, you know what I was going
3:53
to bring up.
3:55
This is probably old news at this point, but I caught
3:57
this and I took a screenshot of it. You know
3:59
the family that we talked about in
4:01
the Turpin family in California
4:03
in the esters Book Broster episode
4:06
that we did, did you guys know that?
4:08
According to Oprah Tyler, Perry
4:11
saw like a special about that family
4:13
and has taken care of them, like into
4:16
their adulthood, those kids. Like
4:19
he has financially taken care of that family.
4:22
Yeah, he's like a quiet good Samaritan.
4:24
Well yeah, he also you know, he famously
4:26
paid for security for U Megan
4:30
Markle And.
4:30
Oh that's right, that's right.
4:33
I think.
4:33
I mean he's very wealthy, and
4:36
I think he is doing
4:38
good stuff.
4:39
Wow, taking care of the this is good
4:41
news.
4:42
Yeah yeah, I thought it was like a little kid
4:44
he helped update.
4:46
Yeah.
4:47
Oh god, crazy
4:50
of all. Just I know these
4:52
children in sesque family vibes.
4:55
Wow, Tyler Perry, I'm just like obsessed.
5:00
I know he's killing it. I
5:03
don't know if I've ever seen a Tyler Perry project,
5:06
though I have seen one.
5:09
I went to see a
5:11
Medea Halloween or whatever the
5:13
Halloween was that came out like five four
5:15
or five years ago.
5:16
Uh huh.
5:17
We went with a big group of people and it was
5:19
the first time I had ever seen one of those
5:21
movies, and I was like, it was it was like an
5:23
interesting It was fun to go in a theater
5:26
with a bunch of friends.
5:26
But the movies are insane. I
5:29
mean they're they.
5:30
Literally star just the regular people
5:32
that are always in them, him playing seven characters
5:34
or whatever. And then he had a ton of like TikTok
5:37
people or Instagram stars that I had never
5:39
heard of before that were just in him. Oh.
5:42
I think I was on Jean Marco's podcast.
5:44
But the Tyler Perry playing all the characters.
5:46
Obviously Eddie Murphy played you know, like the
5:48
line of that. But I guess there's
5:51
a right wing conservative
5:53
guy and he like dresses in women's clothing
5:56
and like make up in a way.
5:56
Again it's like I'm trans but is uh?
5:59
Or you know, look at me?
6:01
But John Murco is bringing up that he's
6:03
never repeated an outfit, that it's all
6:05
sewn to perfection, and that his makeup
6:07
looks incredible, and like, I
6:10
wonder how many years into
6:12
this is he gonna be like, Oh I like this, you
6:15
know what I mean? Yeah, because all the things
6:17
like oh am I a woman now?
6:19
And it's like it seems like you're padding
6:21
is pretty on point. Yeah, you're
6:24
you're definitely looking up tutorials. You're
6:26
not just like spackling on some makeup here.
6:28
So yeah, because so the quote that he used
6:30
when I was I think I was on their pod
6:33
was like, if you write
6:35
a woman a sonet, you love her. If
6:37
you write someone five hundred sonnets, you love
6:39
sonnets. Yeah,
6:43
so I just thought. I
6:46
also just met a friend of a friend and
6:48
every Halloween he likes to get
6:50
really slutty. He goes, it's when women dress
6:52
slutty, and I like to honor that Halloween tradition,
6:55
and it's not always like woman slutty,
6:58
like sometimes I forgot
7:00
the option, you know, like the boor at the bathing suit's
7:02
kind of slutty.
7:03
Like you could.
7:04
But this past year he was a
7:06
Dallas Cowboys cheerleader like wig,
7:09
but nobody'd be like a full little outfit and he goes
7:11
out no jacket and it's very important to him
7:13
to just like be a part of Halloween culture.
7:16
And he said that they went to like a Broie
7:18
bar and this like big ass bro was like
7:20
going over and talk to me.
7:21
He's like, great, I'm gonna get fucked with.
7:22
But the guy said to
7:25
him, whenever I look in the mirror,
7:28
I wish I saw what you look like.
7:31
And so then he was like, oh okay.
7:33
And then his friend was talking to the guys
7:36
for like the two friends of these guys are talking
7:39
and the guy went, oh, no, my friend's trying to fuck your
7:41
friend for sure. So then I was thinking about
7:43
the pickup line of like wanting to see that in the
7:45
mirror but also fuck this person, and
7:47
yeah, I was just I've been thinking about it for days,
7:49
so shout out, wow.
7:53
That is interesting, geez.
7:56
Yeah, because his wife actually got
7:59
us a new list. I think his
8:01
his sister in law is now listening
8:03
to the pod, so welcome, but hello,
8:06
welcome to this. But yeah, to be
8:08
like, every time I look at the mirror, I wish I looked like you. So
8:10
it's like I just wonder how. I mean, we know howman
8:12
like. We know it's a lot because gay dudes
8:15
are fucking straight dudes all the time quote unquote
8:17
yes so, but I am curious how many
8:19
ultra aggressive, agro straight.
8:22
Guys are really like on Halloween.
8:25
Trying to fuck as straight
8:28
dude and a cowboy cheerleader outfit, and
8:32
how much of it is wanting to know fuck the person
8:34
and then be the person.
8:35
And it's just like, ye, so
8:38
wild, and.
8:39
There's like a narcissism in there, like you want
8:41
to fuck the person that you want to be also like
8:43
because you Yeah, I don't know, that's weird,
8:46
that's crazy. But I
8:48
hope that that guy finds what he's looking
8:50
for. I hope he finds the right cheerleader. Well, gays
8:53
do that for sure. They love to fuck
8:56
people that look like themselves. Oh, I have like so
8:58
many friends that are married to people that look
9:00
exactly like them. It's like, so it's
9:02
so crazy. Wait
9:06
you were speaking of you were talking about Eddie
9:08
Murphy for a second.
9:09
Just reminded me.
9:09
Did you see that Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence's kids
9:12
are engaged to each other?
9:13
I thought that was cute all that like
9:15
that.
9:16
Yeah, I think it's I think it's Eddie
9:18
Murphy's son and Martin Lawrence's daughter,
9:20
or I might be reversed, but like, yeah, they're.
9:22
Kind of the white version
9:24
of that.
9:25
I would says Tony Hawk's child
9:27
son is married to Kurt Cobain
9:29
and Courtney Yes' daughter, and
9:32
I feel like that's, uh, that's pretty
9:34
epic too. I mean the net posts
9:37
are just everywhere. I yeah,
9:39
and they're all, yeah, getting married. Why wouldn't
9:41
they marry each other?
9:42
Yeah?
9:42
Yeah, I kind of like, I kind of I think
9:45
that's like so cute. I mean everything
9:49
on the internet is about Luigi. It's really
9:51
hard to get away from it. I mean it's another week
9:53
and we still don't know what's going on
9:55
with that.
9:56
Yeah.
9:56
For me, it's like end of Era's tour. It's
9:58
still wicked over here. For us, it's still
10:00
Luigi. It's Oh
10:03
and then there was like a post where it's him and
10:05
jail being like, no, not Penn State,
10:08
Penn, Like yeah,
10:11
that.
10:11
Was like somebody said it last night. He
10:14
was like, oh, we went to Penn and I was like, oh, that was my dream school.
10:16
I wanted to go there. He did get in.
10:18
I really wanted to go to Penn. Well,
10:21
you know, I'll never be as good as Luigi. Should
10:23
we get started. I mean, I
10:26
got a great episode.
10:27
I know it's a really good episode. I
10:29
really like it.
10:30
I just feel like, oh,
10:33
a Southern Charm premiered, you
10:36
know, a month and a half ago, so talk
10:38
about statement of Southern farm.
10:41
But Shep, Oh my god, So you know, Shep's
10:43
always a mess and like, I don't
10:46
know much you know about it these for those who don't watch,
10:48
it's like descendants of slave
10:50
owners living in Charleston and they're all wealthy
10:52
and kind of douchey, and then a few you.
10:54
Know, Craig's and Northerner. But Shep's
10:58
just a mess.
10:59
He's a classic frat
11:01
boy, like a Will Ferrell wedding crashers in
11:03
his forties and last
11:05
Bravo con he got so fucked up to the
11:07
point like that was all part of the
11:10
reunion last season was like he fucked up so
11:12
bad, he was so blacked out, and everyone kind of
11:14
ditched him and didn't want to deal with his shit anymore. Like
11:16
Craig's like, I have a business, I have shit to do, Like
11:18
I'm not dealing with her blacked out ass.
11:21
And he does the most classic thing, which
11:23
is he does ayahuasca and then
11:25
he sits down and blames them for being
11:27
bad friends and abandoning him and taking no responsibility
11:30
for his drinking, and I just love
11:32
that, And
11:35
Craig's like, yeah, I've been drinking like ten minutes. I barely
11:37
drink anymore. Like I don't know what to tell you. I don't
11:39
want to hang out, like this is not a But then they have
11:41
to apologize and be like, yeah, we should have been.
11:43
There for you.
11:43
But it's like we've
11:45
seen this breakdown so many times,
11:47
like the fact that like you went to do
11:50
ayahuasca and it's still not like how I could
11:52
change.
11:53
It's like, you guys are actually bad friends. When I was
11:55
blacked out, so.
11:56
Yeah, I actually got a lot of clarity on something,
11:59
and it's that you guys are all wrong, Like you
12:01
guys are actually the beast.
12:02
That actually happened.
12:03
I went and had a drug journey with a big group
12:05
and one of the people who is I would say, the
12:08
most sunhinged. Her big takeaway
12:10
was that she has everything figured out and
12:12
she's right about everything, and she has no problems
12:14
and she solved them all.
12:16
Wow. That was her big powerful
12:19
drug. Wow.
12:20
That is so powerful. She's like, I have nothing
12:22
to work on. It's all good, and we're like, okay,
12:24
cool.
12:26
Everybody's like crying, throwing up,
12:28
like talking to spirits gone, and she's
12:30
like, I'm actually killing it. I don't know what to say.
12:33
Wow, Wow, I know who you're talking
12:35
about. I'm almost positive and that
12:37
makes a lot of sense. But
12:42
uh, I hope everybody's
12:44
getting uh is starting off
12:46
their year with a not a person
12:48
that's told them that they're the worst in after a drug
12:50
journey. But let's let's start right.
12:52
We've got a great episode today and
12:55
uh, don't go anywhere. It's about to start.
13:01
Okay, thrilled. I've been wanting
13:03
to do this episode for a while.
13:06
Prodigy Season three, episode
13:08
thirteen, Get with it, Okay.
13:11
So two cops that look
13:13
like they're straight from the Andy Griffith Show comically
13:15
giant hats.
13:16
These are uniform dorks and.
13:19
They're at a boat's slip doc area
13:22
talking boat lingo retirement plans,
13:25
and they're like and then one of them's like, retirement you haven't
13:27
even been here six months?
13:28
Like what?
13:29
But I guess that's the young The young post is
13:32
the boats. They see a man with
13:34
a Duffel in the middle of the night.
13:35
Not good.
13:37
They ask for his marina pass. Clearly
13:39
he doesn't have one. Why play these games?
13:41
Flashlights up the duffel boys starts
13:44
running. He tosses the bag into the water
13:46
and runs off. The chase is on until
13:49
they trip over another like active
13:51
crime scene. So that sucks, And
13:53
it's an old dead man suggestively posed
13:56
onto a young dead woman and
13:59
Pixie cut Benson quickly on the scene with
14:01
Stabler filling her in.
14:02
No wallet on the guy.
14:03
The woman is strip naked sexually positioned
14:06
after death and they're looking for
14:08
the weapon and then the hands
14:11
are missing of the woman and
14:13
then Benson goes and the head so
14:16
knock the.
14:18
Gruesome as they say, a gruesome
14:20
crime scene and.
14:23
You know, is it the man with the duffel or not?
14:26
They have him in custody so let's do a little chat.
14:28
They can't chat. He's deaf, and
14:30
that's the lead into the credits. So the big
14:32
dun done is they have to wait for an interpreter, and
14:35
that's the cliffhanger that we go into the
14:37
credits with. They got
14:39
him in cement room bars and he's annoyed and
14:41
you know he's signing with the detectives though. He goes, yeah,
14:43
I'm deaf, not dumb, because they're treating
14:46
him like like he's an idiot. He
14:48
doesn't want a lawyer though, because he did nothing wrong,
14:50
and they're like, okay, you were on the docks. He
14:53
goes, yeah, I couldn't sleep and I went for a walk
14:55
and he goes, I didn't hear them. The cops
14:57
announced themselves. I just saw a blinding light.
15:00
I was scared. The bag
15:02
was weighing me down. I had to go. They
15:04
accused the bag of having body parts, and the dude
15:06
is like what And then he's so grossed out
15:09
by the pictures and he's like, I don't know what you're pulling,
15:11
but this is not me okay, And
15:13
then they're like, then tell us.
15:14
What's in the bag. He goes, well, not body
15:16
parts.
15:17
And then Munch and Craig and walk and talk
15:19
and it's like, so this guy, you
15:21
know, it seems like a burglary. They found the bag,
15:24
there's two laptops and some jewelry. So
15:27
Sailor walks out to meet suspender Daddy
15:29
in the spy room and he's like, I don't
15:31
think the deaf dude did it, Like, you
15:33
know, his past crimes are weed and theft.
15:36
Like he's not covered in blood. I really
15:38
don't think it. So like
15:40
they just don't think it was him. And then so Craigan orders
15:42
to give this guy up to burglary and
15:44
then check out. Let's
15:47
check out the deaf community and see if
15:49
any of his enemies are missing.
15:51
So lol on that, like,
15:54
he can only have enemies that are deaf, And
15:56
so the brainstorm meeting starts. Now
15:59
why is she missing hand head? But the
16:01
man is fully intact. That's a good question.
16:03
Munch is like, maybe a cannibal, and Fin's
16:06
like, shut the fuck up. If it
16:08
was a cannibal, they would have used more fleshy
16:10
parts of his body. And then Craigan's
16:12
like, enough, boys, I want facts, not
16:14
theories. So
16:17
we have to go learn about the victims. Like, hopefully
16:19
that'll help us. So we go down to the emmy's office and
16:21
we have o'hallerin. He's cute, he's
16:23
young, We love him. The man
16:25
that is dead is in his mid fifties, the woman
16:28
early forties. They both had deep
16:30
stab wounds in their stomach, and
16:33
then the guy had lipstick on his dick and sperm
16:35
aside, so maybe they were having
16:37
sex, Like is it a rape?
16:39
Is it sex? Like?
16:40
What's going on? Is it an accident on purpose?
16:43
Like what's up? And then but the
16:45
dude had a wedding ring on, so Stabler's like, oh
16:48
no, no, this is married couples don't
16:50
fucking parks like this.
16:51
Something's up here.
16:52
So Hallerin goes, yeah, but I don't
16:54
think this woman's a working girl. I've
16:57
never met a working girl in her forties without any
16:59
cervical display, So maybe
17:01
a mistress. Again, they don't
17:03
look like they party together, so what's gonna
17:06
happen? Like he had a point one seven blood alcohol
17:08
and she was clean. There's
17:10
no print hits on him. But he is a peace
17:13
maker, a peacemaker. He's a pacemaker,
17:15
a pacemaker. So he because
17:17
of the numbers and the pacemaker. Uh,
17:20
doctors have to keep records on all of their
17:22
patients. So off to the office. We go
17:25
to Ruben's, the office
17:27
of Ned Rubin. You don't need
17:29
to know. It's an industries. I
17:31
can't believe it. We
17:34
go to a place with the pacemakers. The
17:36
guy, of course, is like privacy, privacy. Finn
17:39
and Munch are gonna like get him to talk. They threaten
17:41
him, so he goes. Okay, his name's Edward Bugs
17:43
and they have his wife in a little
17:45
sweater in woodroom blinds. She's very
17:48
Midwest to me. He works the night shift.
17:50
But why was he in the park. It doesn't make sense
17:53
to her. He works at Randall's Island.
17:56
She doesn't know why he was drinking, like ed
17:58
doesn't drink anymore. She's either
18:00
in denial or something's going on. They
18:03
ask if he's cheating on her, and she starts
18:05
to cry. It's like, okay, he's dead. Do
18:07
you have to bring this up right now?
18:09
Yeah?
18:10
Were you also being cheated on by your dead husband?
18:12
Like they really have no tapped
18:14
for special victims. Finn Munched
18:16
Craigan look onto Stabler and Benson
18:20
with her, and Finn is like, yeah, she did
18:22
it.
18:22
She killed them.
18:23
Look at her acting and it's like this
18:26
sad, sad woman, she did not mastermind
18:29
this murder, like she is not an actress.
18:31
Finn is so off his game here.
18:32
It's crazy, this shaky woman
18:35
no, and then Munch calls her meek mindy,
18:38
like she truly is not the
18:40
killer Finn, and Finn goes, she could have
18:42
hired a hit man, and it's like, oh yeah,
18:44
it's still season three. He hasn't learned yet
18:46
and this isn't a narcotics So
18:49
they go to a bar where
18:52
they think this guy was drinking and the bartender
18:54
remembers him he's had whiskey on the rocks there
18:56
every single night for the past two weeks. And
18:59
then Thursday though, he hooked up with
19:01
a regular whose name is Vinnie, and
19:03
Vinnie a scum. So what
19:05
we find out about them is like they talk about women,
19:08
and they did leave together because
19:11
something about ice cubes melting.
19:12
Oh, she goes, I
19:14
got to get back to work.
19:16
My ice cubes are melting, like so
19:19
funny to me, so like
19:21
there's so much like extra ice to
19:23
use, you don't have to use those, Like
19:26
how long could they have possibly been talking that the
19:28
ice cubes are melting. It's it's
19:30
a perfect bar seem so.
19:34
Anyways, we meet
19:36
Vinnie. We have Vinnie and cement room bars.
19:38
He's a scumbag. We love this guy. He has a silk
19:40
patterned top on. He's a
19:42
wise guy. Also familiar face. He's been
19:45
in four episodes of svo SO
19:47
season one, Bad Blood, season nine, Savant,
19:49
and season fourteen Girl Dishonored, and
19:52
he's been working on stop since the eighties.
19:54
He's been an oz Boardwalk Empire and
19:56
on Blue Bloods for two hundred and twenty three episodes
19:59
with small parts into twenty seven dresses, Wolf
20:01
of Wall Street and The Avengers.
20:02
Did I write his name down? I did not, but it's
20:05
him.
20:06
So he goes, screw you
20:08
and Benson goes, I can screw you harder.
20:11
How has that not been a gift?
20:12
That seems crazy, like for all the
20:15
horny SVU maniacs like for that
20:17
not to be like,
20:19
I can't believe we've never seen that.
20:22
Yeah, I was thinking that too.
20:23
I was like, why is that not up there with the captain and the pickle
20:25
or like I want your balls in a blunder, But ain't like that.
20:28
It's just as good. Yeah,
20:30
I can screw you harder.
20:32
Okay. So he's like, listen, me and
20:34
this sad guy.
20:35
We just talked shit about bitches, and
20:37
he especially talked shit about his female
20:40
ball busting boss. She fired
20:42
him two weeks ago for no reason.
20:45
But he hadn't told his wife yet about the firing.
20:47
That's why he was getting drunk and he was like building
20:49
up the courage to confess to his wife that night that you
20:52
know, that he has no job, and so
20:56
Vinnie wanted to go hunt for more women at another bar.
20:58
So this is where they split up.
20:59
So you know, it's like I gotta go talk
21:01
to my wife, and Vinnie's like, I'm
21:03
gonna go to try to get fucked, and
21:06
you know, nature called.
21:07
He goes to pee in Riverside Park.
21:09
Vinnie got a cab and you
21:12
know, it was like peace out, go have fun peeing. So
21:14
now we're back at the scene of the crime and Finn finds
21:16
blood on a tree. And they
21:18
did find bark in his forehead earlier,
21:21
so he was probably peeing at this tree while
21:24
right near him. In a fucking wild
21:26
turn of events, someone was killing and positioning
21:29
the dead woman, and so they had nothing to do, and
21:31
then Munch goes, okay, let's do a urine
21:33
analysis stat So they're
21:35
gonna check the piss on the tree. But
21:38
like, I can't even imagine going to like pee drunken
21:40
and then there's a crime scene and now you're dead. So
21:43
he had no connection to this woman at all.
21:46
But it also explains why his pants
21:48
were open as well, and the lipstick
21:50
on the dick obviously staged.
21:52
But like, did the killer
21:55
do that? Like, yeah,
21:58
oh, I guess he did cap there's a d capitation.
22:01
I guess you could have done it with like the dead.
22:03
Oh oh no,
22:06
sorry sorry, yeah, no, you're
22:08
right though. That does make a lot more logistical
22:10
sense.
22:12
But Benson gets a call at this moment and
22:14
a sewer worker in Brooklyn found the remains
22:16
of a hand.
22:18
It could be her hand. So now we have a close up
22:20
of the hand.
22:21
I'm not happy, and
22:23
it's Daniel Sunjatas So we have another
22:25
sexy emmy.
22:26
I can't believe how lucky we are.
22:28
And Okay, so he with
22:30
tweezers takes off like the
22:32
skin thumb print, but he needs to
22:34
put the thin skin thumb
22:36
skin on Benson's thumb to
22:39
get a good print, because you
22:41
can't just you know, take a floppy skin off
22:43
a dead thing. And also like rats
22:46
were biting on the hand. It really is
22:48
upsetting. So she puts on a
22:50
latex love and the thumb skin prints it down
22:52
and hopefully there's a hit of some sort.
22:54
She does not look happy. She looks like she's about
22:56
to throw up.
22:58
No, and the the like, hand
23:00
is this color kind
23:03
of looks like the Brann Stoker's Dracula
23:05
skin color, Like it is whiteish,
23:08
grayish, it's been underwater. It's
23:11
not good. Yeah
23:13
of the undead. Yeah, like anyway,
23:16
So Vicky, Vicky Vinnie
23:18
walks through the precinct and yells
23:21
past the Polly.
23:22
I love him, like truly, I wish I met him
23:24
out that night. I love this guy.
23:27
And Craigan walks in and goes hit
23:29
on the thumb print and Sally.
23:31
It's special Agent Pam Tilden
23:34
who works at the MFPCA,
23:36
the Dog Police. She investigated
23:38
people who fucked with animals and they do end
23:41
up being your future wife
23:43
beaters, child abusers, and serial killers. So
23:45
it makes sense to invest and investigate
23:47
and actually make true. I think, like peeping
23:50
Tom, anything
23:52
that leads to bigger crimes should be treated
23:54
super seriously. Yeah, if
23:56
we're talking prevention, if cops want to pretend
23:59
that they're at prevention, which they don't
24:01
even pretend anymore. So they
24:03
go to the dog cops and this dude
24:05
is like, damn, she might have known her killer fuck,
24:08
but we've learned that she was married to the job.
24:10
All about work. You know, she worked really hard.
24:13
And in this office there's snakes and iguanas,
24:16
and you know, we want to see the cases
24:19
to see if there's enemies. And they're going through the files
24:21
in the office. There was a dog fighting
24:23
ring she helped break up, so and
24:25
she took a bunch of pit bulls away and
24:28
then the kennel was vandalized. So
24:30
they go back to the MFPCA office
24:32
and they're like, dude, like to the guy
24:34
they talked to earlier, like why wouldn't
24:37
you tell us about the vandalizing, like your
24:39
girl's dead, and he goes, well, it was an isolated
24:41
incident months ago, like I didn't put it together.
24:43
And it's like, and you're a cop, okay. Perfect.
24:46
Benson pets a dog and calls him pooch,
24:48
which I don't really hear that a lot.
24:50
It was really cute.
24:51
And then there's another man that shows
24:54
up and he's kind of hot, I would say. And the hawkey
24:56
said that she would not go
24:58
to the park after dark unless she thought there
25:00
was a hurt animal in there, and that like she
25:03
she's not playing hopscotch.
25:06
It's all about the animals for her.
25:07
So they talked to this guy now and they're
25:10
like, anybody causing her trouble and he goes, yeah,
25:12
this one kid does. And they
25:14
go to a cage or a cat name's Slinky and
25:16
there's a bandage on her tail. He
25:18
poured paint thinner on the tail and set
25:21
it on fire. So and then this
25:23
this teen who did the paint thinner
25:25
on the cat is fifteen or sixteen years
25:27
old, and he would always cuss
25:29
out this Tilden woman. And he was
25:32
there part of a punishment because yeah,
25:34
he fucks with animals. So he got ten sessions
25:37
in their unit to work
25:39
with the shrink at
25:41
the animal place. So they go talk to this therapist.
25:43
Let's see what she's going to give us. So
25:49
they did this program because there's, like I said, there's
25:51
not much punishment for animal abuse. It's
25:53
a misdemeanor, and so they're thinking
25:55
like maybe this therapy program is what we can
25:57
do to actually make a difference.
26:00
The teen's name is Harry Baker.
26:01
He's a cat torture and she
26:04
said if he did any direct
26:06
threats like that, she would have reported it asap.
26:08
And Siebler goes, well, what do you mean direct threats?
26:11
And she's like, listen. He's an aggressive, angry
26:13
boy who had a positive talk screen
26:15
of at birth for cocaine. So
26:18
and then his mom was a stripper and would bring him
26:20
to the to work all the time, so he grew up
26:22
at the strip club. She couldn't afford daycare. He
26:24
was born with cocaine a system, so he's got
26:26
some issues. But also he's in
26:28
the gifted program, very smart and
26:30
he has a lot of potential, but for
26:33
now he's very predatory.
26:35
So we get a little Cabot action. She drops
26:37
a file on Benson's desk where Benson's
26:40
hard at work, and Cabot says, you can thank me later,
26:42
but here's Harry Baker's file, and
26:44
Benson wants more in Cabot's like, okay, on a
26:46
juvie, You're lucky you have what I gave you.
26:49
But we get a little more insight on
26:51
Pam and Harry's relationship because we
26:53
find out that she like
26:55
based on her filings, like
26:58
the probation officer quested intense
27:00
supervision on him, and it was because
27:03
Agent Tilden had suspicion of numerous
27:05
I can't even unadjudicated prior
27:07
offenses. So and Bensa
27:09
goes, well what are those? And Cabots, like Lord knows,
27:12
Benson tells Habit to get more info.
27:15
So we're in a walk and talk in the middle of the marble
27:17
courthouse hallways and she is a busy
27:19
bee and like she like, so she goes to this woman
27:22
to try to talk to her, and immediately the woman goes, what do you want?
27:24
Like, I know, you're not just talking to me. So
27:26
this woman that Cabot wants a favor like information
27:29
from goes listen. Usually with these juvenile
27:31
cases, it's a cry for help and the kid is being
27:33
abused, but I found nothing like that with
27:35
Harry. Actually, we just found dozens
27:37
more dead and mutilated animals, but
27:39
they couldn't really connect him to any of it.
27:42
And the closest they got was this girl
27:45
who he had the hots for who
27:47
said no, thank you. And so then one
27:49
day she's at the deli, you know, her dog's tied
27:52
up outside, and then the next second her dog
27:54
is gone, and then it was decapitated
27:56
on her stoop the next day. So
27:59
Cabot's like eek. And
28:01
then we go to Harry's mom's house. So
28:03
her name is Daisy. We're at West ninety
28:06
eighth Street, and then they're
28:08
like, where was your son Thursday night? And she goes, oh,
28:10
he's a dork, like reading in his room like always.
28:13
And she goes that I had company, and
28:15
so she sleeps on a pull out couch in the living room
28:18
and Harry's room is just right there
28:20
with a beaded curtain, and it's like, if you're gonna
28:22
fuck in the living room, give your son
28:24
a real door, you know what I mean. I
28:26
so it's just like beaded vibes. He's
28:28
just like listening to his mom fuck like no wonder.
28:31
He's like, you know, putting paints in her own cattails.
28:33
They ask about his history killing
28:35
animals and she says, oh, he would never do
28:38
that, boy mom. And she's
28:42
in she's in a red
28:44
bra and ready to clown and she thinks
28:46
all the stuff is lies, and everyone's
28:48
jealous of her son because he's so smart and he's
28:51
just misunderstood.
28:52
And then she brags.
28:53
She goes, he is so good at science,
28:55
he's the best frog he's so good at frog
28:58
dissection skills. And I'm like, I
29:00
don't know if this is what you brag about when they're investigating
29:02
him for animal abuse, for like, he's
29:04
really good at dissecting frogs. And she goes,
29:07
but he's just really curious about all the anatomy
29:09
and stuff. So they asked to look in his room
29:11
and she goes, oh, he has nothing to hide, go on
29:13
in there, and she goes into the bathroom like she won't even
29:15
watch them. This room is crazy. It
29:18
is covered in newspapers everywhere,
29:20
all crime, So for the mom to say there's
29:22
nothing to hide is truly insane. This
29:24
room is covered in newspapers as
29:27
wallpaper, all crime and murder
29:29
stories, like red paint
29:31
looking like blood. And there's a fire
29:34
escape right outside his window so he can sneak
29:36
out whenever he wants. And then every single book
29:38
on his shelf is a crime book or about
29:40
police procedure, or about a serial
29:42
killer. Yikes, and then Michael
29:45
Pitt walks in and he has
29:47
like a Nick Carter boy band hair blonde
29:50
situation. He's famous
29:52
for a Murder by the Numbers and
29:54
if it wasn't for Leonardo DiCaprio, I think he would
29:56
have had a better career because he is hot and good.
29:59
Yeah, he was this movie.
30:00
When I was living in Italy in two thousand
30:02
and three, we had to just go see movies
30:05
that were available in English, and like, there weren't that
30:07
many. So I went to go see this movie called The Dreamers.
30:09
Have you ever heard of this movie? Yeah, I was
30:11
pretty famous and sexy. Oh
30:13
okay, yeah, and I was like, oh,
30:16
like it was like so it was like he meets
30:18
a brother and sister and they like just threesome
30:20
it up all over the place. I just hadn't really seen
30:22
a big movie like that before with so much incest,
30:24
even though I wasn't a SVU watcher the
30:26
big screen, you know. But
30:29
yes, totally, he had such a Leo vibe.
30:32
Oh yeah, go to run in Boardwalk Empire.
30:34
That makes me happy. Twenty four episodes.
30:37
Okay, he's like it still working,
30:40
I feel it is.
30:41
But nothing like what you would Oh.
30:43
He was in bully. I forgot that. Oh
30:47
Dawson's Creek.
30:49
I don't know. He's just like so hot. I guess to
30:51
me, it's just murdered by the numbers and SVU. Oh
30:54
funny games. I was like too scared to watch
30:56
it. I want to watch it, but it's so scary.
30:58
It's like he kidnaps
31:01
like two psychomen take a family
31:03
hostage. Yes, watch
31:06
so scary, so scary. The trailer
31:09
alone was scary enough for me. Maybe
31:11
I'll really push myself. Oh my
31:13
god, I'm on its page and it says Tim Roth.
31:15
He said making this film traumatized him and he'll
31:17
never watch it. He said he was particularly
31:20
disturbed because one of the
31:22
guys resembled his own son.
31:25
Oh oh god, Yeah, that's
31:27
the scary one, because that one's like kind of like this one
31:30
Martyrs that Jared almost
31:32
fainted when he watched it.
31:33
He stood up and he almost fainted.
31:34
It's this movie called Martyrs that's also like a home
31:37
invasion that's like supposed to be really really Also,
31:39
Michael Pitt, if anybody watched Hannibal, which
31:41
I watched, that show was so fucking unhinged, but
31:43
I watched all of it. He plays this insane
31:46
character named Mason Verger Michael Pitt
31:48
does.
31:48
That's the last thing I've seen.
31:49
So yeah, he does play psychos, but like,
31:51
yeah, that are pained, you know, I
31:53
don't know.
31:54
Yes, yes, tortured
31:56
psychos.
31:57
Tortured psychos
32:00
on his resume as special skills.
32:02
Fucked with his face though, oh
32:05
maybe, I mean yeah.
32:07
I wonder if he can only
32:09
play this kind of psycho, Like I wonder
32:11
if you know it is Leonardo DiCaprio.
32:14
Oh wow, he was headwig crazy.
32:16
He also is just really good, like so
32:19
scary, Like I don't know, I don't know if you
32:21
can come back to be like a romantic lead
32:23
when you've been this like scary scary
32:26
guy.
32:27
Yeah, there's something more menacing than Leonardo DiCaprio.
32:30
Yeah, yeah, but whatever.
32:32
He walks in as they're searching his creepy
32:35
little room. Then the mom went, He's got nothing
32:37
to hide, truly, not one, not murder.
32:39
Thing, like like a murder
32:41
layer.
32:42
So clueless. Even
32:44
if it wasn't articles about murder and
32:46
just newspaper lining the walls, I'd
32:49
be like, I'm gonna bring my son for a test, you
32:51
know, I'd be like I'm a little worried about what's going
32:53
on here. Yeah,
32:55
but he goes, hey, guys looking for something
32:58
and then they go, yeah, babe, we have some questions.
33:00
He goes, oh, is this about Pam. It really
33:03
sucks. You know, we were kind of tight. He's
33:05
like, Pam was cool and her death
33:07
was so whack, but they never published
33:09
all the details. Can you give me some and
33:11
Benson goes, no, can you? And he
33:14
goes in his street clothes onto his bed. If
33:16
we needed any more evidence that this is a psychopath,
33:18
and then they go it seems like your interests
33:21
are weird, you know, kind of dark, and
33:23
he goes, yeah, my therapist agrees with you that
33:25
I have an aggressive view of the world and
33:27
a predatory drive, and
33:30
if I don't get it together, I could wind up
33:32
a cop.
33:34
He's funny, Okay, So
33:37
so.
33:37
Then they ask about Carrie, the girl
33:39
with the missing dog that was found to capitate
33:41
it, and he says, yeah, she
33:44
was mad. I broke her heart and they
33:46
go what by killing her dog? And he
33:48
goes, no, no, no, I don't mean to sound egotistical,
33:50
but I drive the girl is a little crazy.
33:53
He's very calm, he's very cocky, and
33:55
they go talk to Carrie. She's
33:58
working at a pizza restaurant. She's making pizzays.
34:01
She says he was creepy and is horrible
34:03
and like wouldn't stop.
34:05
Calling her and following her around.
34:07
And he's like he would
34:09
say that he dreamed that they would die in a car crash
34:11
together, and there's all
34:13
these letters and she did tell the cops,
34:16
but he puts on the charm and that was that and
34:18
suddenly she's the nutcase in school.
34:21
And her friends were also like, girl, he's cute. What's
34:23
the problem.
34:24
And Munch and Finn are like, well, we need to get him off
34:26
the street, but we need your help, and she goes, oh, you
34:28
don't get it. All I did was turn him down
34:31
for a date and he killed my dog. I'm
34:33
not messing with Harry. Thank you bye.
34:35
Can I please work my minimum wage job
34:37
the fuck out of here. Finn
34:40
is like, is there anyone that could help us? And
34:42
so we wud go off to Andrew Johnson
34:44
High School. In the bathroom, they're
34:46
looking for someone named Philip who's hiding
34:48
in the bathroom like scary movie style, you
34:50
know what I mean, like the standing on a toilet and
34:53
he's huffing cooking. So okay,
34:56
he's huffing, cooking spray like rolls
34:58
out of a stall. He's in the flan and
35:02
he goes, we don't hang out anymore. That guy's obsessed
35:04
with death, and you know, he's.
35:06
Like, I just want to huff in peace, and he just keeps talking
35:08
about murdering pets.
35:13
He goes, yeah, I don't. I don't like cats either, But
35:15
that guy what a super freak. They
35:17
threatened to tell on him for huffing. So
35:19
he spills the beans on Harry's special little
35:21
hiding spot. So they are off in
35:24
Central Park and I wonder how close this
35:26
is to Cynthia Nixon's character's
35:29
spider dwelling that she hunts
35:32
hunts in. But so
35:34
he likes to be alone with his collection of
35:36
skulls and stuff. So he's
35:39
been slicing and dicing free things for years.
35:42
So we got to find this stuff. And it's a big
35:44
park crew. Everyone's searching. Craigan
35:46
and Huang are having a beautiful
35:49
you know, it's bare trees, but still
35:51
exciting walking down a hill of the
35:53
park and Huang gives his low down, so
35:55
he goes sadistic sociopath likes
35:57
to take his time, draws, you
35:59
know, raws out the pain. Likes control and domination.
36:02
And then during the torture there's like no empathy
36:05
and afterward no remorse. And
36:07
then they find a cooler buried. They opened
36:09
it and there's just tons of animal skulls,
36:12
about a dozen small animals and
36:14
a knife. So we find a big hunting
36:16
knife. We get it to the lab immediately. Michael
36:19
Pitt is in cement room bars with his mom, who's
36:21
wearing a going out top, and he is
36:23
still thinking this is a joke and
36:25
they're and you know.
36:27
Lol, they think I murdered two people. That's
36:29
why we're here, mom, And the mom
36:31
is like, he gets straight, A's it's not him.
36:33
And they show the animal skull collection photos
36:36
to her and she gets a little loud and Harry goes
36:38
sh and then outlines
36:40
police tactics and like what they're gonna
36:42
do, and he's just very smug. He
36:44
also has a sheepskin fur lined coat, and I
36:47
wonder if Stabler's like, damn, that's a nice coat.
36:49
We got a book him so I can take it. And
36:51
then he does a monologue about all the
36:54
great killers and their
36:56
mos and their path to infamy. He
36:59
talks about shooters. There's just
37:01
a lot of monologues, and the mom screams.
37:03
She's like stop it, and he snickers
37:06
at her, and Cabot and Huang are watching in the spy
37:08
window, and she says, damn, that's one cold
37:10
kid, and then the mom needs a break, so
37:12
Benson walks her out and she
37:15
waved her sons and Miranda rights. Okay,
37:18
that's weird, And in
37:20
my head, I would like a T shirt that says
37:22
Miranda Rights, but with a
37:24
drawing of like Miranda from
37:26
her episode alternate with face.
37:30
Oh my god, yes, her with her little pigtails,
37:32
and then it just says Miranda Rights.
37:35
I wish for all all
37:37
of the alter egos in that episode.
37:39
But it's funny. It's called Miranda Rights.
37:42
It's kind of fun.
37:42
And I don't know why there hasn't been a sex in the City crossover,
37:45
So get it together. Benson
37:48
to Cabot and Craigan, and Huang is like, fuck, this
37:50
kid knows all of the tricks, so he is doing
37:52
a good job. Even Benson's like, okay, he does
37:54
know what we're up to. So Huang gets
37:56
an idea. He's like his ego is huge,
37:59
so like get him to talk and third person and hypotheticals
38:01
like what could it? Like, He's not going to get
38:04
bogged down, but he wants to play this game
38:06
of like instructing and informing the
38:08
police. So Benson amps
38:10
herself up and is like, okay, let's do this.
38:12
Stabler's in there playing basic threat games
38:15
and like, oh, the knife of the DNA is going to match
38:17
the victims and he goes, bitch, if that was me, I would
38:19
have cleaned it very thoroughly. And so
38:22
Benson starts playing you know her games
38:24
and she goes, well, then who was it? And he says,
38:26
I can't do that, like I don't know, and she goes, wow,
38:29
all those books and you can't put together a simple
38:31
profile.
38:32
And I like that.
38:33
He knows all the tricks, but this one thing, just like
38:35
the ego, is just too strong.
38:36
He has to get involved. He gets down to
38:38
work.
38:39
He's like, okay, white male, late thirties, early
38:42
forties, menial job, lives alone,
38:44
already in the park, was waiting in the shadows.
38:47
It took her a while to find him, but the hunt
38:50
is the most fun part. And Benson
38:52
is like, wait, find what and he goes, well,
38:54
a wounded animal. If he knew
38:56
her, that's what he would use as bait, Like why
38:58
else would she go in there? And Benson
39:01
goes like damn okay, and
39:03
like why would why would he have to like
39:05
put why even do this? And his
39:07
guess is maybe she rejected his advances.
39:11
Takes her to a private place to be alone with her
39:13
for a while because you know, he owns
39:15
her now, her body and soul. I
39:17
mean, he is so creepy and
39:20
now he can do whatever he wants. And Ben's
39:22
it's like, wait, but Tilden was in prime physical
39:24
condition, like an had a gun on
39:26
her. How did he overpower her? And
39:29
he goes, oh, she never saw him. She
39:31
was too focused and bent over this animal.
39:33
It was a blitz attack and I'm
39:35
sure he used something handy like a rock
39:38
and he looks at her super evil like, and then
39:40
Stabler makes eyes at the spy window and
39:42
Huang is like, wait, was the rock detail
39:44
ever released?
39:45
And Cabot says no.
39:46
Craigan goes, maybe a lucky guess, and Cabot
39:48
goes, I don't give a fuck if it's a psychic vision,
39:51
book him. So we get to book him
39:54
and then they're processing Harry and
39:56
then when they walk back into the precinct,
39:59
Benson goes, oh god, he hit on the mugshot
40:01
photographer.
40:02
Can you even believe it?
40:03
And they're all shocked, and it's like he is
40:06
hot, Like I don't know why, They're
40:08
all like can you believe
40:10
this flirty maniac? It's like, yeah,
40:12
he's a hot teen I don't I just I don't
40:15
know, with an inflated ego.
40:18
So yeah, but I'm sure
40:20
he gets rejected all this time.
40:21
Like he is creepy, yeah,
40:24
extremely, but all her friends still
40:26
blamed the girl for not going out with
40:28
him anyways.
40:29
That's crazy. You know. Wait,
40:32
have I talked about this before?
40:33
This like thing I've I might try to write
40:35
a bit about it, but like I've noticed this happens
40:37
on housewives where they'll be like, uh,
40:40
I just have a hard time with women because after
40:42
my husband cheated on me and left me with nothing,
40:45
all my girlfriends turn their backs on me, and
40:47
it's like what about the
40:49
husband? You know, But
40:52
this happens so much where they're like, well, the
40:55
women stopped talking to me after my husband
40:57
destroyed my life, and it's like they're still
40:59
just more maybe we just expect
41:01
more from her girlfriends.
41:02
I don't know. It's just interesting.
41:06
I wonder if some of her friends went
41:08
on dates with him after he did that to Slinky.
41:11
Wait what, oh Slinky the dog,
41:13
the cat? The cat dog? Oh yeah, the cat's
41:15
slinky. The cat's separate. My bad, I
41:18
don't remember the dog's name, Slinky.
41:22
I like that as a little pet name, Slinky.
41:24
I know, is that the name of the dog and toy
41:26
story or no? Or
41:29
he just has a slinky? Yes, I think his
41:31
name.
41:31
Or is it slink or something? No, it's slinky.
41:34
Oh, it's but you're
41:36
right, often referred to as slink. Yeah,
41:39
because Rosie Took corrected me the other day
41:41
when I said, she.
41:42
Goes No, his name is slink. I
41:45
always liked him. I still have a
41:48
toy from my younger years of him.
41:50
And the new ones. They really like forky.
41:54
Oh you know a
41:56
sport.
41:57
Yeah?
41:58
But is it he called forky? Oh?
42:00
I have no idea. I think you've seen these
42:02
more.
42:02
It's yes, yeah,
42:05
Porky is really cute, but he is a spork.
42:07
You're correct, he is.
42:09
You know what's fucked up?
42:10
I've seen every toy story except for two Oh,
42:13
what the fuck with Jesse, which I feel like I would
42:16
be connected to.
42:17
Yeah, it's a good one, but neither
42:20
here nor there.
42:21
Okay, so the knife comes
42:23
back clean, damn it.
42:25
So now we have to like see when the call
42:28
came in for the animal in the
42:30
park. So at six thirty seven,
42:32
she got a call from MFPCA,
42:35
and but it wasn't from the dispatch,
42:37
so that's a little suspicious,
42:40
like the call came from the kennels. And
42:42
then guess what an employee that works
42:44
at the MFPCA pops
42:46
up in the system. It's the guy from earlier
42:49
who I thought was hot, Joe Paletti, and
42:51
he's a dog walker there, menial job.
42:53
Craigan looks pissed.
42:56
Joe is a seven time rapist,
42:58
so they bring his acid in and how dare he get
43:00
hired? Like, you know, it
43:02
is a police
43:05
run kennel. Yeah,
43:07
how do they have a seven time rapist working there?
43:10
I mean, you're right, they're
43:13
all over the place, like they're everywhere,
43:15
I mean, what the fuck? So
43:17
anyways, in classic US view fashion, there's
43:19
a meet and greet in the lobby. So Michael Pitt
43:21
sees the dog kennel guy and
43:24
he goes, oh cool, the guy from the kettle,
43:26
I know him.
43:26
Wait did he do it?
43:28
And Stabler goes to tower over him
43:30
and flecks his ass, like we hate him, but
43:32
they have to cut him loose, so he leaves.
43:34
Palettia is now it's his turn in the cement
43:37
room bars and he goes, listen, I was
43:39
in Atlantic City gambling and they go,
43:41
but you called from the kennel and he's denying
43:43
it and says a lot of people have access to
43:45
that phone. And then he says that he took
43:48
the van like his van's Atlantic City,
43:50
but the van was actually stolen, so I
43:52
don't know what to tell you, and they go,
43:55
can you even fucking breathe without lying? You're
43:57
bullshit? And why didn't you
43:59
file police report for your missing van?
44:01
Huh?
44:02
And Stabler's like, don't worry, we'll find the van for
44:04
you. And then they ask if anyone at
44:06
work knows about him being a rapist. He
44:09
says it never came up, which is a parole violation
44:11
to not disclose on a job application.
44:14
I guess for dog walking. Maybe they don't check. I
44:16
don't know.
44:17
So his first charge, when he was eighteen, he served
44:19
three years for raping his fourteen year old girlfriend,
44:22
and then a bunch of break ins and rapes
44:25
happened, and he says he doesn't have those feelings
44:27
anymore, and Benson's like, okay, well
44:29
you'd be the first one I've come across, and he goes,
44:31
I got help. I've never missed a session.
44:34
It's been three years since I got out. And
44:36
they try to break him down and he goes, yes, I was
44:38
sick back then, but you know how many
44:40
of those people did I kill?
44:41
None?
44:42
That's not my thing, and they're like, yeah,
44:44
but you realize with living witnesses, you had to go
44:46
to jail for twelve years. This time, you
44:48
didn't want to go back to jail, so you fucking killed
44:50
Pam and ed and he's like, no, I
44:52
did in he's screaming no.
44:54
He goes, I'm rehabilitated.
44:56
So now they're like, you know, they tore Paletti's
44:58
house up and all they found was black casket,
45:00
mini trunk box situation, and
45:03
it's filled with Victoria's secret catalogs,
45:05
strip club flyers, personal ads,
45:07
sex chats like printed
45:10
out, and just a box of creepy
45:12
stuff. And Munch also finds twenty
45:14
short stories of wal to Wall rape
45:16
torture, Like walt Wall is a
45:18
funny word to me. It's usually like wal
45:20
to Wall laughs, like about movies. So I've just
45:22
like never heard wal to Wall
45:24
rape torture. Yeah,
45:27
he sent the stories to some sex Defender
45:30
buddies and he has a letter
45:32
like from one of his friends going, Yo, this is the best
45:34
story yet. And Kabot's like, give
45:36
those to me and snatches them away, and
45:39
we're we are at chambers. We're at Judge Petrowski's
45:41
office, and Joe does have a
45:43
good lawyer, cleo'conrad Joe Marie
45:46
Lawrence. So she's there and
45:48
she goes, it's his private thoughts and Kabba goes,
45:50
then why am I reading them off a piece of paper?
45:53
And they go back and forth for
45:55
a while. You can use it, you cannot?
45:58
Can we write it? And then Cleo says this
46:00
is back door and you know it, and Cabot
46:02
goes, your client open that door. I
46:05
like love that. So we're
46:07
going to core or not, Like what's
46:09
what's gonna happen? So the judge is like, I think
46:11
this is overreaching, but I'm gonna let a
46:13
Jerry decide. Cleo is pissed, Cabot
46:16
is smug. We're at trial and
46:18
straight to the verdict and the sole
46:20
count of obscenity in the third degree. They do
46:22
find the defendant guilty.
46:25
He shocked.
46:25
Cleo's annoyed. He gets remanded gavel
46:28
pound. So then Stabler and Benson
46:30
slowly walk on over to Cabot and they're
46:33
like, okay, girl, fun and then they
46:35
Benson goes, nice, snow.
46:36
Job, what does that mean? Um?
46:41
And then Cabot's like, I mean, they asked me to stop
46:43
reading from the story in less than a page, I
46:45
know, she says, in less than a page she knew
46:47
it was him.
46:48
Yeah, it says a deception or concealment of one's
46:50
real motive in an attempt to flatter or persuade.
46:54
Oh okay, so it was like a fake case
46:57
with these letters to get him off the street to then
46:59
go find evidence. Okay, So
47:01
yeah, they read the stories out loud. They were so disgusting,
47:03
like she knew that the jury was going to convict.
47:06
But Stabler's like, it's only one year. And
47:08
then Cabot goes, well, there's no statute of limitations
47:11
on murder, so go do your job, and we can give
47:13
him more time, and they're like, there's no evidence,
47:15
and Cabbot goes, yeah, that year is what
47:18
I just bought you to find the head, and
47:20
yeah, she's putting them to work. So they breathe
47:23
deep and they're like, fuck, we have to find this
47:25
head. Benson walks off. Sailor turns
47:27
around and there is Harry chilling
47:30
and he's like, yeah, I'm just doing homework. He
47:32
has a pen in his mouth, like really relaxed
47:34
and sassy, holding his notebook and
47:36
this is just pissing Stabler off. So Stabler
47:39
grabs him by the collar pushes him
47:41
against the wall. But then the
47:43
best part is Stablor goes, come here, you
47:45
sick little freak. And I like that.
47:47
That's a good T shirt too. Came here are you sick
47:50
little freak? He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa,
47:52
babe, there are witnesses here. Criminology
47:54
one oh one. If you want to break the law and make sure
47:56
no one's around, and Stablor goes,
47:58
oh, you think you're really cute, don't you,
48:00
And he goes twenty three cheerleaders can't be wrong,
48:03
and it's like ugh, like you're such a loser.
48:05
You're hot stop. But I guess, says mom,
48:07
you know fucked him up. So Stabler says,
48:09
I know where you live, I know where you learn, and
48:11
I know where you bury your kill. So get
48:13
used to seeing my face because you're gonna
48:16
see it everywhere you turn. And he goes,
48:18
don't lose your head, detective, You're already
48:20
having enough trouble finding one. And
48:22
then Stablor goes, eh, that's good. You
48:24
know we found your whole stash.
48:26
And you know he knows it's not true. So
48:29
then Michael Pitt goes, hello,
48:31
you think there's just one. There's never just
48:34
one, and then he pouts and the camera
48:36
stays on his face for like ten seconds.
48:38
And now we're outside of court and Stabler's like, oh my god,
48:41
we gave up too easy. We have to find
48:43
Pialetti's real stash. And
48:45
it's like, so is Harry not a suspect anymore
48:47
at all? Because even when
48:49
I heard him be like, there's never just one stash,
48:51
detective, I was thinking,
48:53
oh, it's Harry's stash, like that,
48:56
there's he has another stash with this head.
48:59
But I guess his profile was right
49:01
and it is Polletti. But I just thought they would
49:03
be investigating both of them. So it's like, I know,
49:05
I actually this is like I was confused.
49:07
I thought when they go find him that like that Harry
49:10
somehow is like framing POLLETTI like I didn't
49:12
know how this was going, like at a good
49:14
episode.
49:15
Yeah.
49:15
So but they find
49:17
the stolen van of Paletti, so the detectives
49:20
full teamwork, and Stabler sees bloodstains.
49:23
It's canine blood though, so the Emmy who
49:25
we don't Okay, So there's four CSU
49:27
texts in this episode. Four because
49:30
we saw Bert Trevor, we saw
49:32
hallerin and then there's two unknowns
49:34
who have like only one episode each. But I can't believe
49:37
there's four in this episode. Yeah,
49:40
I wonder why they didn't just reuse people. But it
49:43
Yeah, the blood didn't help
49:45
because it is dog blood, but they
49:47
have but but also what animal did
49:49
they use? Like what dead animal was in the park, Like
49:51
they never really tell us about that, Like it could have been
49:53
this blood that they find in Yeah. Yeah, but
49:56
anyway, so the blood didn't help. But there's dirt on
49:58
the tires that's going to lead to some thing. There's
50:00
marine sand in bedrock. It's from South
50:03
Jersey. Glass beads,
50:05
reflective paint. U turn pull
50:07
off. I can't with the soil
50:09
info. He spun his wheels in
50:11
the mud, he got out of the van, dumped
50:14
the head, and flew out of there. So it's
50:16
like, okay, but where So it has to be somewhere
50:18
in Jersey or near Atlantic City, like where
50:20
are we? We want more info? And
50:22
he says that the soil had chemical
50:25
byproducts. X ray fluorescent spectrometer
50:28
will help him figure out.
50:29
Shut the fuck up, you know.
50:30
And then he's like with the
50:32
levels like this, this dude was
50:34
like on top of a chemical plant drainage
50:37
ditch. And so it's like, okay, I
50:39
guess we'll go check all these plants. Like what are
50:41
we gonna do? He gambled till five thirty
50:43
am. He used the player's card at the casino,
50:46
so they know the exact hours he was playing.
50:49
And then there there's like squeaking markers
50:52
all around the board map the journey, their
50:54
map, questing how you know what?
50:56
How are they going to figure out?
50:57
Then the science cop did all those tests
50:59
on the dirt that he was bragging about,
51:02
and he goes high levels of mercury. It's
51:04
mercury salt Brian
51:06
and currants and chlorine sodium
51:09
hydroxide. Get me out of this mess.
51:11
And so then he goes and low pH
51:14
level and hydrochloronic acid,
51:16
and finally Craigan yells what we're all thinking, which
51:18
is how many plants have this mercury?
51:21
Like we do not care about this stuff, Like
51:23
you could talk to cabin about the science for core
51:26
and he goes, only one plant. You've
51:28
wasted so much time you could have been like,
51:30
we connected it. So
51:32
it's IDJ Chemicals. So
51:36
we're at IDJ Chemicals and
51:38
all these divers. There's a big team looking
51:40
for the head, and there's tire
51:42
marks, and so we know that he was
51:44
there. The tire marks match and they're
51:46
starting to give up Pupe. They find a box
51:49
of his crap, but it's just an old Robier cans
51:51
and cigarette butts. But then there's an earring
51:53
and Benson's like, wait what and she grabs
51:55
a little evidence bag and in it is
51:57
a fucking dog earring.
51:59
Okay, like who loves dogs?
52:01
But this dog cop and so you
52:04
know, and I can't believe it's him and not Michael pitt
52:06
Or they're not working together.
52:07
I'm just like so shocked at all of this.
52:09
So yeah, we go to see
52:11
Joe and he's like, so
52:13
we it's Stabler. So Stabler goes
52:15
to see Joe getting like, you know, moved
52:17
around in the cells. It's like really dark prison
52:20
vibes, and Joe's
52:22
being cocky, goes, I could do a year on my head,
52:24
no problem, And Stabler walks over with the
52:26
bag and the doggy earring that's eighteen
52:29
carrots. Stabler says,
52:31
well, we found this earring where we
52:33
know you dumped Pam's head, and he goes, you
52:35
can't prove it's hers, and they go, yeah we can, and
52:38
he goes, yeah we can. It was specially
52:40
made for her to commemorate five years on the force.
52:43
This is sad. She was just like because
52:46
I wonder if she pissed him off,
52:48
Like I wonder if he just needed
52:51
to do it, Like I'm curious
52:53
why he chose her.
52:54
Like with Michael Pitt, there was motive with this.
52:56
It's like, what the fuck, it's just because you have a job
52:58
you're not proud of and you are a rapist.
53:01
But so the pervert
53:03
is stunned and says it doesn't mean
53:05
Jack and then Sailor goes, but there's
53:07
more, and he's loving every
53:09
moment of the slow reveal. Her
53:11
DNA is on the dog
53:14
earring and there's a three point match
53:16
to his thumb print. So
53:18
add twenty five more years and choke
53:20
on it and he is stunned.
53:22
And that is dick wolf baby crazy.
53:25
Michael Pitt is a red herring and all this and
53:28
yeah, so and one day
53:30
he will go down for murder, like Michael Pitt will
53:33
will murder a person.
53:34
They lost an opportunity to bring him back,
53:36
like season seven eight, bring him back
53:38
and be like we watch this kid for cause,
53:40
like it's bring him back.
53:42
Now, they can bring him back season twenty
53:44
seven, let's go.
53:46
Oh my god, the biggest shit bring
53:48
the biggest.
53:49
Arc jump in his story from season three
53:52
to season twenty six.
53:53
Yeah, for my Becket's agent is listening,
53:55
come on, bring him home.
53:59
Oh my god, that would have been That
54:01
would be so fucking cool. Yeah,
54:04
but yeah, he's definitely gonna murder. I'm
54:06
glad they got Joe. I'm really sad.
54:08
Pam Tilden is dead, like obviously acab
54:10
but not if you're the dog cop, like we like you a
54:13
little more.
54:13
Yeah, like you're trying to do.
54:15
You're trying to kind of prosecute crimes that like no one
54:17
even gets bad punishments for, like, yeah,
54:19
you're just stopping dog rings and stuff.
54:22
Jesus, all right, well, let's
54:24
get into the true crime, because
54:27
this is, uh, this is
54:29
this is a lot of details
54:31
from the real case. So
54:41
I first wanted to say that A
54:43
couple of sources said that this was also maybe based
54:45
on Black Dahlia, But I think if
54:47
you know anything about the Black Dahlia case, this is not
54:50
really similar very much.
54:52
I feel like it's a nude Black Dahlia movie
54:54
coming out.
54:55
Oh, I'm like obsessed with the black You
54:57
feel like I just watched a trailer.
54:59
But I don't. There is the
55:02
show I Am the Night or whatever.
55:03
It's based on a podcast called
55:07
it's called The Root of It's called Root of Evil
55:09
this podcast, and it's really fascinating.
55:11
I really loved listening to it about the Black Dahlias.
55:13
So treat yourself to an episode of that after
55:15
you're done here. But for now, I'm going to
55:17
tell you guys about the Jason Massy case.
55:20
Jason Massey was a Texan
55:23
who you know. I feel like I just keep
55:25
saying the same things over and over again. Grew
55:27
up abused and neglected by his parents.
55:30
Dad was an alcoholic, mom was a drug addict.
55:32
I truly we need you
55:34
know. This is a good reason why reproductive rights
55:36
are important, because not everybody's meant to be parents. And
55:40
he had a record, like we've said a million times,
55:42
it started in his teens, including stalking
55:45
and torturing animals. He would and
55:47
you know, obviously if you've made it this far,
55:49
trigger warning for animal
55:51
abuse, but he would decapitate and mutilate
55:53
dogs, cats, and cows and keep
55:56
their skulls as trophies, like
55:58
our friend Harry in this book, in this episode
56:01
once one time, you know how you were saying,
56:03
like Jesus, if that's your son's room, maybe you step
56:05
in. One time, this kid's mom did
56:08
have him committed after she found a journal,
56:10
and in the journal he's talking all about rape,
56:13
murder, Satan, his reverence
56:15
for Charles Manson, how he wanted to become a
56:17
serial killer. So she did have him committed
56:19
for a little while, but you know, he got out
56:21
and it didn't really do anything. He
56:24
loved Ted Bundy, Henry Lee Lucas.
56:26
He wanted he craved the attention
56:29
that famous serial killers would get, but
56:32
unfortunately the little stint in
56:34
the mental institution did not do
56:37
anything for him. He was twenty
56:39
years old and he had had a
56:42
flirtation with a thirteen year old girl
56:44
named Christina Benjamin, and he
56:46
told her to sneak out
56:48
of her house and then he'd pick her up. And this is
56:50
July twenty seventh of nineteen ninety three, okay,
56:53
and he had recently gotten out of prison for
56:55
animal cruelty.
56:56
He had done like a short stint for animal cruelty.
56:58
He picked up Chris and her fourteen
57:01
year old step brother, Brian King, and
57:03
he shot them both dead, and
57:06
then yes, and then
57:08
escalated quickly.
57:09
Yes, very much so, and then very
57:12
graphically.
57:13
After he killed Christina, he cut off
57:15
her head, her hands, her nipples,
57:18
and he mutilated her genitals and removed
57:21
her intestines.
57:23
I think that might be the only.
57:24
Link to Black Dollia, that the Black Dollia's intestines
57:26
were also removed, but there's really not. She was also
57:29
completely bisected, so it's a very different
57:31
crime.
57:32
He shot King.
57:34
Caught in half, cut fully
57:36
in half, like her body was found
57:39
in two pieces.
57:40
So yeah, yuck.
57:43
He shot the boy.
57:44
So he went on a date with this girl and then just
57:46
shot her and her brother.
57:49
Yeah, and then I mean.
57:51
He did the nipples very ed
57:53
gain, Yes, and he was
57:55
obsessed with all these guys. He was obsessed with the serial
57:57
killers. I think he thought, I'm gonna like
57:59
there's more info about what was going
58:01
on in his head. But he shot the brother
58:04
twice. And the two teens had been
58:06
missing now from their town, which
58:08
was called Garrett, thirty miles southeast
58:10
of Dallas. And then two days
58:12
after they've gone missed, two days after the murder,
58:15
their bodies were found in a field by a road
58:17
worker and the body parts
58:19
were missing, the head and the
58:21
hands and everything. They were all missing and
58:24
they've never been found. So
58:26
a lot like what happened in this episode. Yeah,
58:29
So they got Massy very quickly with
58:31
forensics. I mean, he thinks
58:33
he's this serial mastermind. He's
58:35
no, you know, Michael Pitt. Okay,
58:38
he gets arrested very quickly. In
58:40
October of nineteen eighty four, he's found guilty of capital
58:43
murder, which we touched
58:45
on briefly last episode. It's
58:47
basically first degree murder with special circumstances.
58:50
It's killing more than one person, killing
58:52
for financial gain, killing a police
58:54
officer, firefighter, prosecutor, judged or
58:56
or elected official, killing a witness
58:58
to prevent their testimony, or a drive
59:00
by shooting.
59:01
With intent to kill.
59:02
These are a few examples of the special
59:04
circumstances. And it's called capital because
59:06
it's only there's only two possible penalties
59:09
capital punishment, the death penalty or a
59:11
life in prison without the possibility of pearl.
59:13
I can't believe it's for money. Yeah,
59:17
like hitman, I guess would
59:19
be. Oh yeah.
59:22
An expert testified at the sentencing
59:24
that he was a long term threat to society and could
59:27
not be rehabilitated. One of his classmates
59:29
testified that he'd threatened her and then killed
59:31
and mutilated her dog, smearing the blood
59:33
on her car, just like what happens in the
59:35
episode. Another witness testified
59:38
that he was walking in the woods when he found
59:40
a cooler, and inside the cooler
59:42
were thirty one dog and cat's
59:44
skulls, just like in the episode.
59:46
There were also four of his journals
59:49
which he had labeled Slayer's Book
59:51
of Death, Volumes one through four, and
59:54
in it he talks about becoming a great serial
59:56
killer.
59:57
So I think that's.
59:57
Why he's doing all this cutting opening
1:00:00
up bodies, because he's like thinks the gory
1:00:02
or the better or something. But it was
1:00:04
like, honestly, you I think the problem
1:00:06
you didn't focus on enough was getting away with it,
1:00:09
you know, like disposing of the or like you
1:00:11
know, people probably knew that you were
1:00:13
going on a date with this girl, like I don't know, they found
1:00:15
him very fast. There's so little information
1:00:18
about this case online too, like articles
1:00:20
from Australia, Like it's so crazy, you
1:00:22
know, Australia randomly will be like here's
1:00:24
a lot about this American crime that happened anyway,
1:00:28
kind of like what happened with Cleoconrad.
1:00:30
With Paletti.
1:00:30
In the episode, the prosecutors are really
1:00:33
trying to use his journals in court,
1:00:35
and I think they ended up getting them admitted. They
1:00:37
heavily relied on them, but the defense
1:00:40
also tried to point out passages in the journals
1:00:42
where he talked about being sexually abused by a babysitter
1:00:44
when he was around five and his physical
1:00:47
abuse from his parents which started around age two,
1:00:49
So they tried to use that, but the defense also
1:00:52
put his sister on the stand to confirm
1:00:54
like the difficult childhood. But then
1:00:56
the prosecution just was like, wait, so are you a murderer?
1:00:59
Are you alive adding citizen, and she was like yes,
1:01:01
and so it kind of backfired on them,
1:01:04
and then the jury took fifteen minutes to
1:01:06
give him the death penalty and
1:01:09
he got guess what, he got to be on Texas's
1:01:11
death row with his hero, Henry
1:01:13
Lee Lucas, who was a huge serial
1:01:16
who's like one of the most I think we've talked about him
1:01:18
before, I can't remember, but he was known as the confession Killer.
1:01:21
He falsely confessed to approximately six hundred
1:01:23
murders, but he was convicted of three
1:01:26
murders in the that he committed
1:01:29
between like the sixties and nineteen eighty three.
1:01:31
So he got to be on
1:01:33
death row there in Texas with his with
1:01:36
his idol. He was executed
1:01:38
by lethal injection on April third of two thousand
1:01:40
and one, eight years after the.
1:01:41
Murders, which is so
1:01:44
crazy.
1:01:44
I mean, it's because it's Texas, I'm sure, but like
1:01:46
we hear all the time about these guys that have been on death row for
1:01:48
like thirty years, but they got this guy in eight years.
1:01:52
I don't think he probably appealed or had the money.
1:01:54
Our resources to like, yeah, feely, that's
1:01:57
probably true.
1:01:57
Yeah.
1:01:58
Before his execution, he addressed the victims
1:02:01
family, saying, I can't imagine what I've taken
1:02:03
from you.
1:02:04
I want you to know I did do it.
1:02:05
I'm sorry for what I've done, And then
1:02:08
while he was strapped to the gurney, he said,
1:02:10
I want you to know that Christina did not suffer as
1:02:12
much as you think she did. I mean, I think at least the saving
1:02:14
grace in this whole thing is that he just shot these people
1:02:17
quickly and they probably died very quickly and didn't
1:02:19
have to they weren't tortured while they
1:02:21
were alive. He said, I know you guys want
1:02:23
to know where the rest of her remains are. I put the remains
1:02:25
in the Trinity River, but the parts were never
1:02:27
recovered, like I said, And no one really believed
1:02:29
him because they're like, naw, dog, you keep trophies,
1:02:32
like we know you keep trophies.
1:02:33
They think that those body parts.
1:02:34
Are buried somewhere because he
1:02:36
would have wanted to like go revisit them at
1:02:39
some point. And sometimes,
1:02:41
I know, we think this is interesting. But his last
1:02:43
meal was three fried chicken quarters,
1:02:45
fried squash, fried eggplant, mashed potatoes,
1:02:48
snap peas, boiled cabbage, three
1:02:50
bits of corn on the cob with spinach, broccoli,
1:02:52
and butter, and one pint of ice cream
1:02:54
and a pitcher of sweet tea. So he had quite
1:02:56
a feast at the end. But it's
1:02:59
it's wild vegetables. I
1:03:01
feel like this guy was sabage. Yeah,
1:03:05
I know, I know, you're getting cabbage, boiled
1:03:07
cabbage. I know. Well, I mean
1:03:10
this guy though, there's so little about
1:03:13
him because I feel like what they basically stopped
1:03:15
a serial killer after his first two kills,
1:03:17
like he would have absolutely done more. And
1:03:20
it's like you said, the
1:03:22
animal abuse cannot be ignored. That's
1:03:24
not just like people kids being curious,
1:03:26
Like that's really really
1:03:29
not good. But maybe because he committed
1:03:32
these crimes in the nineties and forensics were
1:03:34
better, like I think a lot of the serial
1:03:36
killers we hear about her from like sixty seventies eighties,
1:03:38
where forensics weren't up, and so they were able to kill
1:03:41
for like years, you know, and have
1:03:43
dozens of victims before they got caught. With this guy,
1:03:46
this Jason Massey guy got caught quickly
1:03:49
and that's that's the basis
1:03:51
of Harry.
1:03:52
We need Harry to come back. Yeah,
1:03:54
we need Harry back on SVU. I
1:03:57
think that would be cool.
1:03:59
Yeah, to be like we knew this kid when he
1:04:01
was young, We knew he was going to do something, and
1:04:04
then they find out. Yeah, let's write it. Let's
1:04:06
write it spec but let's
1:04:08
get into our post mortem because no
1:04:11
guest today, just us.
1:04:16
We're so in the time machine.
1:04:18
But like Spotify raps, you
1:04:20
know, that was like fun to be in people's
1:04:22
stuff. Oh yes, yes, like
1:04:25
you guys listening and it
1:04:27
feels great and we're usually in good
1:04:30
company. I feel like the other
1:04:32
podcasts in the top listens with
1:04:34
our listeners are always like people I enjoy.
1:04:36
So that makes me feel good too, Like
1:04:38
you're all listening to a lass cultureisas
1:04:41
Yes.
1:04:42
For sure, Thank you guys so much for listening
1:04:44
so much and get it and then posting your raps.
1:04:46
I love that.
1:04:47
I like love seeing all the little the
1:04:49
raps and what everybody else is listening to. And
1:04:52
it's so funny too. Sometimes there are people that listened
1:04:54
to like all podcasts in Portuguese and then like
1:04:56
our podcast you know, or
1:04:59
like they only listen podcast about like business
1:05:01
or like law school and then us, you know which
1:05:03
I like to I like to see what people are.
1:05:05
We're the we're the weird one kind of or
1:05:08
we're the funny one.
1:05:09
But yeah, that was a good one.
1:05:11
I make say abby, But I guess Spotify like fired
1:05:13
everyone and it's not like I
1:05:16
guess it's AI.
1:05:17
It's all a that's what I just
1:05:19
heard too. I was like, someone's like, oh, yeah,
1:05:21
that's why. That's why the Spotify wrapped was AI
1:05:23
this year, and I go, I was wondering
1:05:26
why it was a little bit more.
1:05:28
What wasn't because I'm not on Spotify, so
1:05:30
I was curious, like what's better, what's worse?
1:05:32
It just wasn't as easy to use as last
1:05:35
year. Like last year there were these like cool
1:05:37
things that were like this is how many hours? I mean
1:05:39
like that's still there, but it wasn't
1:05:41
like as easily shareable the little pieces
1:05:43
of it and like there was more info.
1:05:46
I don't know, it's just not as good and it's not it's not as
1:05:48
good looking either, like it's been better looking.
1:05:51
And I think they just had an AI do it because they got rid of
1:05:53
everybody and so they can pay Joe Rogan.
1:05:55
I'm like nervous, how shitty everything
1:05:57
is going to be, Like why do you want all your art?
1:05:59
Like anyone into AI. It's like so
1:06:01
strange and obviously weird. There's
1:06:04
like places where AI is gonna make the world
1:06:06
better, like I do want. I'm not, you know, just because
1:06:08
I it's not for what I want, but
1:06:11
like it just I
1:06:13
don't know what's the point of being alive if
1:06:16
there's not art, Like I don't get it.
1:06:18
I know, like and people keep posting
1:06:20
stuff that like they're googling and they're getting these like
1:06:22
really creepy results of like little
1:06:25
weird like extra hands and things in the background.
1:06:27
I was I accidentally posted it to That's messed
1:06:30
up, so it was up there for like twenty minutes because I thought I
1:06:32
was posting it to my own account. But it was like in
1:06:34
my Explore page was just this video or when
1:06:36
I was scrolling just this video of
1:06:38
John Goodman dancing in
1:06:40
the rain to JoJo's too
1:06:42
little, too late and doing like all
1:06:45
these like hair movements, like where he's like grabbing his hair
1:06:47
and he's in the rain, but it's not John
1:06:49
Goodman. It's like a really creepy AI and
1:06:51
every time he turns around, the body looks really weird.
1:06:54
It's like Uncanny Valley and creepy. But
1:06:56
it's like, at first it was funny because
1:06:58
I was like, oh, this is like it's John Goodman looking
1:07:00
like a pop star. But then it was really creepy, so
1:07:02
I don't know, I can see why it hooks people
1:07:04
in, and then.
1:07:05
It's like, oh, I don't like this anymore. I don't
1:07:07
know. I don't think it's going anywhere good.
1:07:10
But I do think it's good if AI helps us like
1:07:12
detect cancer faster or whatever they're
1:07:14
saying it's going to do.
1:07:16
Just not in art, like not in media,
1:07:19
you know.
1:07:19
No, or like for people to be fire
1:07:22
like they the business people, they
1:07:24
just don't care about They don't think
1:07:26
about the things
1:07:28
that truly make life worth living
1:07:30
and looking at I don't know.
1:07:32
No, because they're all tech companies now and they only
1:07:34
care about their quarterly reports.
1:07:35
Like that's just the that's just the
1:07:38
fact. Baby.
1:07:40
Yeah yeah,
1:07:43
but yeah, this episode Prodigy,
1:07:46
I mean, I.
1:07:47
Mean my one of my bak so
1:07:49
good.
1:07:50
We're like in a stretch of like doing such
1:07:52
fun episodes. I mean they're all good, but like
1:07:55
there's something about those classic ones
1:07:58
that are suspensable layered
1:08:00
and the red hairring and this red
1:08:03
haring lasted throughout the whole episode. I felt
1:08:05
like, you know, yes, but
1:08:08
like till the hand.
1:08:09
You didn't really know. And he's gonna commit
1:08:11
a crime and he's definitely gonna
1:08:13
come at a crime and hopefully
1:08:16
it will be like the real life crime
1:08:18
where they got him after the first one.
1:08:20
He might kill his mother.
1:08:21
He might kill his mother, seriously,
1:08:25
like that's very possible,
1:08:27
very possible. Like they're living in that little
1:08:29
house on top of each other. I
1:08:32
don't I don't think she's along for this world, the mom,
1:08:35
and she's even like she was she's even
1:08:37
creeped out by her son. After he was saying all that stuff.
1:08:39
She had to get out of the interior gation room. She's like,
1:08:41
get me away from this kid. So I don't know, I don't
1:08:44
know what the relationship looks like going forward, but that
1:08:46
kid is creepy and like, I don't know
1:08:48
what happened. It's like, well, you fuck you
1:08:50
fucked on the couch near him, Yeah,
1:08:53
yeah, yeah, yeah. You should have invested
1:08:55
in a door, just a door. You could have found a
1:08:57
door. That would have been great. The beaded
1:08:59
curtain has a lot, it has a lot
1:09:01
of blame here. But yeah, this the
1:09:04
real crime. Oh so awful.
1:09:06
But like I'm so glad they caught this, like wanna
1:09:08
be serial killer, but like after his first
1:09:11
one, you know, wait.
1:09:13
For some reason. You know.
1:09:14
I just got back from Cincinnati. So I
1:09:16
don't think I told you what happened on my flight,
1:09:19
but I feel
1:09:21
maybe it's because I've been talking about it so much and we've
1:09:23
been doing these and recording, and I thought I mentioned
1:09:25
it, but I told you I got to go in
1:09:27
the cockpit and stuff or not at all. Okay,
1:09:30
this is what. So I'm on
1:09:32
the plane a Cincinnati. It's a small plane
1:09:35
and usually when a flight slayed, we were
1:09:37
waiting for crews. So there was like two
1:09:39
pilots who had to get on our flight to go somewhere.
1:09:42
So they're like, we're delayed a half hour,
1:09:45
and usually they tell you not to move, but this pilot
1:09:47
was like, and if you want to
1:09:50
come check out the cockpit and take some photos or
1:09:52
anything, come on down.
1:09:53
I obviously I'm the first in line. No one is
1:09:55
moving.
1:09:55
I'm like, run to
1:09:58
the front and I
1:10:00
to sit. I got to press the button
1:10:02
to make like an announcement noise. They
1:10:04
kept telling me which buttons I could press. I asked all these
1:10:06
questions. I sat next to the co pilot,
1:10:10
but it was like, you know, I've been trying
1:10:12
to dress better at the airport and for this
1:10:14
flight, I go, ah, whatever, I don't care. And then I was like,
1:10:16
I can't believe it, Like this is where I could have had
1:10:18
cool photos, but I look, I'm
1:10:20
wearing my giant Incubus shirt.
1:10:22
But yeah, I got photos.
1:10:24
I got wings given to me, and a trading
1:10:26
card and I a Grammic
1:10:29
trading card that every plane is supposed
1:10:31
to have. So now when I'm on different planes,
1:10:33
I'm going to ask for trading cards from the pilots
1:10:36
and see how many I can collect. But
1:10:39
then I turned around and the person behind me
1:10:41
in line was maybe two years old, so
1:10:43
it was like me, then
1:10:46
a child with a mother, and then three like.
1:10:48
College daye people. It felt like that were
1:10:50
sitting in the back.
1:10:51
But look, I got to sit in the cockpit
1:10:53
and it was really exciting.
1:10:56
That's so awesome.
1:10:58
I not as exciting, but I did
1:11:00
take Rosie to a firehouse over last
1:11:02
weekend. Because it was a activity
1:11:04
for CUB Scouts and so we like
1:11:07
these guys gave us like a whole presentation, like a guy
1:11:09
got his gear on as quick as possible, like
1:11:11
to show how fast he can get all this shit on, like
1:11:13
oxygen tank everything. They were
1:11:15
telling us that, like the fire
1:11:17
truck always goes out with the ambulance,
1:11:19
even if it's just cardiac arrest, because it carries
1:11:22
more guys with them because it might require a lot
1:11:24
of guys and they can't like all fit in
1:11:26
the ambulance. So that's why
1:11:28
like you'll see a fire truck because they said nationwide.
1:11:31
I asked this question. I was
1:11:33
like, how often are you guys like you know? I said,
1:11:36
you guys did actually take U help
1:11:38
me when my son was locked in the car as a newborn.
1:11:41
The fire department did come within minutes, and it was amazing,
1:11:43
like how many calls are non fire
1:11:45
related? And he was like like ninety percent, Like
1:11:48
the fire Department's going to like ninety percent of
1:11:50
calls that are Like they got a call
1:11:52
while we were there, and when they came back, we were like what happened?
1:11:54
They were like, well, that was one of those calls where
1:11:56
it shouldn't have been a call. It shouldn't have been like it
1:11:58
was somebody that had leg pains, like and they shouldn't
1:12:01
have sent like a full you know, like
1:12:03
they just needed to go to like an urgent care a doctor
1:12:05
or something like that. And but they
1:12:07
were telling us that they
1:12:09
got rid of like a lot of new firehouses don't
1:12:11
have poles anymore because firefighters
1:12:14
kept hurting themselves, like they kept getting
1:12:16
injured, like yeah, broke like ankle,
1:12:18
twisted ankles and stuff like that.
1:12:20
So around down the stairs.
1:12:22
What do they do now?
1:12:23
So yeah, I guess now they lived on they run on the stairs
1:12:25
or like it's not yeah, but they were like
1:12:28
a lot of them. They're like like our main firehouse
1:12:30
still has a pole, but they're phasing them out of a lot of
1:12:32
them because of like coating and stuff and like because of
1:12:34
injuries.
1:12:36
But it was cute.
1:12:37
There was like a whole lazy boy area where
1:12:39
there was all these lazy boys and all the kids
1:12:41
were like sitting in the la school
1:12:43
or a commune comp scouting okay,
1:12:45
cub Scouts, Yeah, it was it's Rosi's Cub
1:12:47
Scout troop. Because one of the kids in her
1:12:49
Cub Scout troop. The cousin is
1:12:52
on the is on the four So like he gave
1:12:54
us like a personal like tour of you see
1:12:56
you see all their rooms where they sleep. I was like saying
1:12:58
to my friend, I go to you watch Sex and the City, Like, do you
1:13:01
remember when Samantha hooked up with the firefighter? Like
1:13:03
this is It was reminding me so much
1:13:05
of that. But yeah, I was so I got
1:13:07
to talk about fire trucks, so you got to talk about planes.
1:13:09
We had a real time with planes and trains.
1:13:12
Yeah, and we were, you know, four
1:13:14
year old boys.
1:13:15
We yeah, would be out of this world
1:13:18
having the best time of our lives. But
1:13:21
let's move on to what would Sister Peg
1:13:23
do for this episode this
1:13:27
week?
1:13:27
You know what what was Sister Peg do is where we just like
1:13:29
to give you.
1:13:29
Resources that like touch
1:13:32
on the issues that we talked about in today's episode.
1:13:34
And I feel like the poor
1:13:37
victim in the episode, Prodigy would like
1:13:39
us to shout out the American Society for the
1:13:41
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is the ASPCA.
1:13:44
This organization has led the way in fighting
1:13:47
cruelty, rescuing, and securing adoptions
1:13:49
for animals in need and driving significant legislative
1:13:52
change that protects their lives and
1:13:54
welfare, ultimately transforming how Americans
1:13:56
value and care for animals, because I know we were both shocked
1:13:59
that this episode is that there's barely any
1:14:02
punishment for abusing animals, so I'm
1:14:04
sure this organization is working on legislation
1:14:07
to reverse that or to make that better.
1:14:09
If you'd like to report animal abuse or donate
1:14:11
to the foundation, visit ASPCA dot
1:14:14
org and that will be posted in
1:14:16
a story the day this episode comes out and Saved
1:14:18
Forever in our WWSPD highlights.
1:14:21
Amazing, And next week we will be
1:14:24
doing Lust from season four,
1:14:26
episode four, So
1:14:29
watch along on Hulu or Peacock
1:14:31
