Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Does Go Hello, I'm Michelle Laurry does Go Hey.
- 0:04Speaker 2: True Crime Tonight, hosted by Michelle Laurie, airs on the
- 0:07Speaker 2: Kiss Network around the country starting Sunday. We have Michelle
- 0:11Speaker 2: on right now, Hello, good morning.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Hello, good morning, my darling.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Tell us all about this. So this is like True
- 0:17Speaker 2: Crime but on the radio.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So I've done the podcast for like nine
- 0:21Speaker 1: years now, straight and true and so I'm back at Kiss,
- 0:25Speaker 1: my spiritual homeland, and we decided to do a radio
- 0:29Speaker 1: show as well on Sunday nights from six to seven.
- 0:32Speaker 1: So this is giving me the opportunity to broaden out
- 0:35Speaker 1: to talk about like Showby scandals and international stories and
- 0:40Speaker 1: have guests on, you know, to talk about that stuff.
- 0:43Speaker 1: So that we've been offered Ryan Seacrest, Oh.
- 0:45Speaker 2: You put that? Whoa currently he's into it?
- 0:49Speaker 3: What does he have to do with crime? He goes,
- 0:52Speaker 3: I'm going to confess, like what's he doing?
- 0:55Speaker 1: That would be amazing, But so as far as he's
- 0:59Speaker 1: just into crime, and he's like, I'll talk about Showby's
- 1:02Speaker 1: crimes if you want what's going on in Hollywood?
- 1:04Speaker 2: And I've said, yes, I do want, and there would
- 1:07Speaker 2: be some good ones like you know, OJ Simpson. Hey,
- 1:10Speaker 2: I'm so wilt.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Did you look at you were a thirty year old reference?
- 1:14Speaker 3: Okay, Well, if Ryan Secrest came on and broke the
- 1:16Speaker 3: OJ Simpson's story, that could be a bit of a
- 1:18Speaker 3: letdown for Michelle. Thanks Ryan, all.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Right, the Menendez brothers then Michelle, Hey, tell me, true
- 1:25Speaker 2: crime absolutely goes off, as you know with your pod,
- 1:28Speaker 2: and I have heard women tend to love it more
- 1:32Speaker 2: than men. Why is it that women love true crime? Look,
- 1:36Speaker 2: there's a lot of theories about that.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I have one theory that from the day we're born,
- 1:40Speaker 1: we're told that we probably will be a victim of
- 1:43Speaker 1: crime and that it's our job to avoid that. And
- 1:47Speaker 1: so I think that part of it is thinking hearing
- 1:49Speaker 1: about victims and how they've either survived or not. I
- 1:53Speaker 1: think this part of kind of feeling like we're arming
- 1:55Speaker 1: ourselves with knowledge. The other part, though, is we're very
- 1:58Speaker 1: analytical and I think we like to solve cases in
- 2:02Speaker 1: our minds. We like to think through the psychology of
- 2:05Speaker 1: victims and offenders. And ten years ago we weren't as
- 2:10Speaker 1: aware and knowledgeable about domestic violence. For example, it's an
- 2:16Speaker 1: ongoing issue in Australia. Right we know that roughly a
- 2:19Speaker 1: woman a week dies in Australia is murdered by somebody
- 2:22Speaker 1: close to her or formerly close to her. What we
- 2:25Speaker 1: know now, and I really think true crimes played a
- 2:28Speaker 1: big part in this is that the moment where a
- 2:31Speaker 1: woman decides to leave is the most dangerous moment in
- 2:35Speaker 1: the entire relationship in her life oftentimes. And I think
- 2:39Speaker 1: that part of the narrative, which is so helpful to
- 2:41Speaker 1: know and understand and implement in our lives, has come
- 2:46Speaker 1: to us through true crime.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense.
- 2:48Speaker 3: And I also think even things like coercive control and
- 2:51Speaker 3: understanding the patterns that are occurring before intimate partner violence
- 2:56Speaker 3: or femicide, that's really important as well, and helps women
- 3:00Speaker 3: out of situations where they think it's harmless, you know,
- 3:04Speaker 3: usual romantic issues. In reality it's cores of control leading
- 3:09Speaker 3: something more serious.
- 3:10Speaker 2: That's such a good example.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many women. I mean, I've
- 3:13Speaker 1: met them, but also I've read about and watched women
- 3:16Speaker 1: who say that they realized they were six they stick
- 3:20Speaker 1: violence and we go, what do you mean your partner
- 3:23Speaker 1: was beating you up? I didn't realize. I didn't really
- 3:26Speaker 1: internalize that because.
- 3:28Speaker 3: When it's happening to you. It's the whole frog in
- 3:31Speaker 3: a pot of boiling water thing when you but if
- 3:34Speaker 3: you hear it in a forty five minute long conversation
- 3:36Speaker 3: of someone saying, here's what happened over five or six years,
- 3:40Speaker 3: and you hear yourself in that pattern, you're able to
- 3:42Speaker 3: go whoa. When you put it out all in one spot,
- 3:45Speaker 3: it's pretty clear what's happening.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, look, you know it is good
- 3:48Speaker 2: that these shows and podcasts are out these days. By
- 3:51Speaker 2: the way, the Domestic Violence Helpline one eight hundred respects.
- 3:54Speaker 2: So Sunday night, six to seven pm, right across the country,
- 3:59Speaker 2: Michelle Laurie will be listening. Thank you so much, Thank guys.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Thanks l mm hmm
