- 0:07Speaker 1: baby a GANGSTERA tou.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Ouch baby on a gamester too.
- 0:23Speaker 1: For good warnings, this podcast is designed to take you
- 0:26Speaker 1: outside of your comfort.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Zone and make you question reality.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Listening Discretion is a vibe.
- 0:38Speaker 2: The Fellas.
- 0:41Speaker 1: This ain't my first time at the rodeos.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome back to the show. I got a
- 1:03Speaker 3: real treat for you today. We are diving balls deep
- 1:11Speaker 3: into the Menindas Brothers. No pun intended, So I talked
- 1:19Speaker 3: about them briefly in my Program to Kill series before
- 1:23Speaker 3: the Netflix show Monsters even came out. Okay, I was
- 1:26Speaker 3: already talking about them, and I didn't feel like I
- 1:30Speaker 3: needed to watch the show when it dropped at the
- 1:33Speaker 3: time because I had already spoken about them before, and
- 1:36Speaker 3: quite honestly, it just didn't look like it was that
- 1:41Speaker 3: captivating to me. But after I finished the ed Geean
- 1:46Speaker 3: Monster and expanded on all the stuff they got wrong,
- 1:51Speaker 3: Colby and I talked about it, and you know, some
- 1:54Speaker 3: spices were added, and since I already watched the Dahmer months,
- 2:01Speaker 3: I was curious to see what direction Ryan Murphy chose
- 2:04Speaker 3: to go for the Menindez brothers because I know how
- 2:07Speaker 3: I feel about it. I had already looked into it before.
- 2:12Speaker 3: But you know, there are a lot of mixed opinions
- 2:18Speaker 3: about these two. And I actually remember receiving an email
- 2:23Speaker 3: from a listener asking me to dive deep into this case.
- 2:27Speaker 3: But again, at the time, I thought I had already
- 2:31Speaker 3: discussed enough in program to kill and could just move on.
- 2:36Speaker 3: But here's the thing. After watching the Netflix show, I
- 2:41Speaker 3: got sucked in and pulled into a total rabbit hole
- 2:46Speaker 3: and it had me shook. Okay, so we're gonna bring
- 2:50Speaker 3: the cosmic fire to this little investigation into the truth
- 2:56Speaker 3: about the Menindez brothers, and I can't wait to go
- 3:00Speaker 3: on this ride with you. Okay, we're gonna be looking
- 3:04Speaker 3: at the show monsters, of course, we're going to be
- 3:07Speaker 3: looking at the actual trial footage quite a bit, and
- 3:11Speaker 3: we're going to be listening to experts and psychologists who
- 3:16Speaker 3: have studied their body language and their facial expressions to
- 3:21Speaker 3: determine if the Menindaz brothers were acting on the stand
- 3:26Speaker 3: or if their testimony is genuine. But before we dive
- 3:32Speaker 3: right into the biscuits and gravy. If you have not
- 3:36Speaker 3: subscribed to the Cosmic Peach patreon, you're gonna want to
- 3:40Speaker 3: do that for this episode. Okay, this might even be
- 3:44Speaker 3: a two parter, and the videos are going to be
- 3:49Speaker 3: integral to the investigation. The visuals during the actual trial
- 3:55Speaker 3: are going to be a vital part of what we
- 3:57Speaker 3: will be discussing today. And if there is a part two,
- 4:02Speaker 3: obviously you're gonna want to see that shit. So if
- 4:09Speaker 3: you have not done so already, please make your way
- 4:12Speaker 3: over to the Cosmic Peach patreon and subscribe to Room
- 4:16Speaker 3: two three seven. You'll get the full version of this
- 4:20Speaker 3: episode and the video ad free, YadA YadA, and the
- 4:24Speaker 3: part two whenever that comes out.
- 4:27Speaker 2: So now.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Let's get freaky. All right, we're gonna get started. Let's
- 4:40Speaker 3: get some background shit out of the way. I'm sure
- 4:46Speaker 3: you may be familiar with this case already, but on
- 4:48Speaker 3: the off chance that this is the first time you're
- 4:51Speaker 3: hearing about them, let's just start with the basics. Joseph
- 4:55Speaker 3: Lyle Menindez and Eric Galen Menindez, our brothers, convey did
- 5:00Speaker 3: of killing their parents, jose and Kitty Menindez in their
- 5:03Speaker 3: Beverly Hills home in nineteen eighty nine. Right following the murders,
- 5:09Speaker 3: Lyle and Eric claimed that unknown intruders were responsible for
- 5:14Speaker 3: the murders, framing it as a potential mob killing. Police
- 5:20Speaker 3: initially investigated this claim, but grew suspicious when they discovered
- 5:25Speaker 3: the brother's extravagant spending spreez following the murders, and the
- 5:30Speaker 3: fact that they had hired a computer expert to delete
- 5:34Speaker 3: their father's recently updated will. Eric ultimately ended up confessing
- 5:40Speaker 3: to the murders in sessions with his psychiatrists, citing a
- 5:44Speaker 3: desire to be free of a controlling father with high standards,
- 5:49Speaker 3: among other things that we'll get into, which led to
- 5:53Speaker 3: the arrest of Lyle and Eric months later. Seems pretty
- 5:58Speaker 3: cut and dry, but oh no, no, sir, it is
- 6:06Speaker 3: not okay. But let's look at the murders, okay. On
- 6:13Speaker 3: the evening of August twentieth, nineteen eighty nine, Jose and
- 6:18Speaker 3: Kitty Menindez were watching some TV in the theater den
- 6:22Speaker 3: of their Beverly Hills mansion when Lyle and Eric entered
- 6:27Speaker 3: carrying loaded shotguns. Jose was shot six times, his face
- 6:33Speaker 3: was literally blown off. Kitty was shot ten times before
- 6:38Speaker 3: the fatal shot to her cheek. Kitty was on the
- 6:41Speaker 3: floor crawling away. Lyle ran back out to the car,
- 6:47Speaker 3: where Eric handed him ammunition to reload before re entering
- 6:53Speaker 3: the house and firing the fatal shot to her face. Now,
- 7:00Speaker 3: immediately after the killings, both brothers remained in the house
- 7:04Speaker 3: for a few minutes, expecting a police response to the
- 7:07Speaker 3: gunshot noise. When no one showed up, they left to
- 7:12Speaker 3: dispose of their blood stained clothes and later buried the
- 7:15Speaker 3: shotguns somewhere along Mholland Drive adjacent the Laurel Canyon. But
- 7:22Speaker 3: that's far from the only eyebrow raising fact in this case.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Let's talk about the two scenarios here. Some people believe
- 7:33Speaker 3: Eric and Lyle were spoiled candy ass ridge boys who
- 7:37Speaker 3: murdered their parents for their money, and they made up
- 7:42Speaker 3: the abuse excuse quote unquote to try and get off
- 7:46Speaker 3: on the murders, and apparently, according to the Netflix show Monsters,
- 7:52Speaker 3: they were also huge Milli Vanilli fans. Now, the other
- 7:57Speaker 3: scenario is that Eric came to his brother Lyle in
- 8:04Speaker 3: a desperate plea for help to end the disgusting, absolutely depraved,
- 8:10Speaker 3: putrefied sex acts his father was torturing him with since
- 8:14Speaker 3: he was six years old. And turns out Lyle also
- 8:19Speaker 3: endured these same sex acts by his father, and the
- 8:23Speaker 3: boys had never discussed this until adulthood. But you know
- 8:28Speaker 3: who did know and didn't lift a finger to help
- 8:31Speaker 3: either of them, their own fucking mother, Kitty Menindez. So
- 8:38Speaker 3: they loaded up two shotguns and blew the faces off
- 8:42Speaker 3: the two people who had literally participated in some of
- 8:47Speaker 3: the worst satanic ritual abuse I've ever heard of. And
- 8:52Speaker 3: of course, if you're anything like my husband, there is
- 8:56Speaker 3: a third option, which is this is all faking, staged
- 8:59Speaker 3: and hey, no judgments if you think that I personally
- 9:03Speaker 3: am not a subscriber to that theory, but if you are,
- 9:05Speaker 3: that's fine. Just keep an open mind as we moved
- 9:09Speaker 3: through this presentation. So let's talk about the data a
- 9:15Speaker 3: little bit, okay. Jose Mendez became an executive at the
- 9:23Speaker 3: Hertz Corporation in later RCA records. After that, he was
- 9:28Speaker 3: appointed as the CEO of Live Entertainment some kind of
- 9:32Speaker 3: film studio, video distributor whatever. So Jose Menindez also oversaw
- 9:40Speaker 3: a majority of Hall and fucking Oates hit records. He
- 9:45Speaker 3: signed the boy band Menudo and in the show Monsters,
- 9:49Speaker 3: he is compared to being as influential as Spielberg. But
- 9:53Speaker 3: it was all behind the scenes and no one knew
- 9:56Speaker 3: he was the man behind the curtain. Oh and apparently
- 10:00Speaker 3: comes from Cuban royalty quote unquote, and the Menendez family
- 10:05Speaker 3: were literally the elites of Cuba. Now think about this.
- 10:13Speaker 3: What do we know about people at Jose Menendez level
- 10:16Speaker 3: in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. What do we know
- 10:21Speaker 3: about elite families Cuban or not? Think about it. I'll
- 10:27Speaker 3: give you a minute. If you said Satan worshiping pedophilia,
- 10:46Speaker 3: you are correct, ding ding. So this isn't a random
- 10:53Speaker 3: case of child abuse, all right, And astonishingly, to me,
- 10:58Speaker 3: this is why people the validity of the case because
- 11:02Speaker 3: they were millionaires living in Beverly Hills, and the Menendez
- 11:06Speaker 3: brothers literally wanted for nothing, and after their parents' death,
- 11:11Speaker 3: the Menindez brothers went balls to the wall, buying cars, rolexes,
- 11:17Speaker 3: diamond and crusted butt plugs or whatever the fuck they did. Now,
- 11:21Speaker 3: counter intuitively, to me, the argument is that these murders
- 11:27Speaker 3: were for money and the abuses made up because rich
- 11:31Speaker 3: executive elite CEOs and music moguls don't rape their sons.
- 11:38Speaker 3: That's preposterous, Okay, Well for me, it's like a fucking course.
- 11:47Speaker 3: Jose Menendez was going balls deep in both of his sons. Okay,
- 11:51Speaker 3: of course he was. And let me tell you something,
- 11:55Speaker 3: if half of what these boys described actually happened to them.
- 12:00Speaker 3: They didn't spend enough fucking money. Okay. They didn't buy
- 12:05Speaker 3: enough cars, they didn't throw enough house parties, they didn't
- 12:11Speaker 3: go on enough vacations or shopping sprees to make up
- 12:16Speaker 3: for the fucked up life of pure heinous torture they endured.
- 12:23Speaker 3: And you know what, they didn't even shoot their parents enough.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Okay.
- 12:28Speaker 3: There is a scene in True Detective Season one Matthew
- 12:33Speaker 3: McConaughey and he's talking about what would happen if he
- 12:37Speaker 3: got busted and some kind of they would torture him
- 12:41Speaker 3: and kill him and whatever. I'm gonna be talking about
- 12:43Speaker 3: True Detective in an upcoming episode, hopefully with William Ramsey.
- 12:46Speaker 3: We'll see, but I want to include a snippet of
- 12:50Speaker 3: what I would do. I mean, the Beninda's brothers just
- 12:54Speaker 3: it was quick and dirty. They shot him in the
- 12:56Speaker 3: face and moved on. Well, kitty kind of hung on
- 13:00Speaker 3: for lot dear life, and she had to get a
- 13:02Speaker 3: couple extra blows. But it was quick and dirty, right,
- 13:06Speaker 3: They just got it out of the way. This is
- 13:09Speaker 3: what I would do if I were to ever find
- 13:14Speaker 3: out that someone laid a hand on either of my boys.
- 13:18Speaker 3: This is what would happen to them.
- 13:21Speaker 2: There's a cartel that worked on the border. Yeah, and
- 13:25Speaker 2: this routine and Duff take you to the chair and
- 13:28Speaker 2: was bolted to the floor. You couple of rolls, make
- 13:32Speaker 2: sure you couldn't budge a fucking inch, and then we
- 13:35Speaker 2: cut around your face, grip your scalp, yank down, rip
- 13:41Speaker 2: your face off, and they put a mirror in front
- 13:45Speaker 2: of you. She used to get a good look at yourself.
- 13:48Speaker 2: They cut your dick and your balls off, shove them
- 13:51Speaker 2: down here, your throat to your blood, and choke down
- 13:55Speaker 2: while you're watching.
- 13:57Speaker 3: So you know, people think, oh, you wouldn't do that,
- 14:01Speaker 3: You wouldn't be capable. I would absolutely.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Do that and more.
- 14:08Speaker 3: It would be like fucking law abiding citizen up in
- 14:11Speaker 3: this bitch if I were to ever find out some
- 14:15Speaker 3: shit like that was going on. Now, how many bee
- 14:21Speaker 3: hole rapes from your dad? Is a Gucci sweater? Worth
- 14:25Speaker 3: to you. Okay, People get hung up on the shopping
- 14:28Speaker 3: spree after the murders, and to me, that's the wrong
- 14:32Speaker 3: fucking part to focus on, because call me crazy, but
- 14:36Speaker 3: a Gucci sweater and a Rolex is worth zero. Dad
- 14:40Speaker 3: ass rapes to me.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Okay.
- 14:42Speaker 3: Do you think if Doc Brown screeched up in the
- 14:45Speaker 3: Dolorean and was like, come on, Lyle and Eric, We're
- 14:48Speaker 3: gonna go back in time and make it so your
- 14:49Speaker 3: mom gives you guys up for adoption and a nice
- 14:52Speaker 3: middle class family raises you guys, and the only burning
- 14:55Speaker 3: sensation your bee hole will ever know is from the
- 14:58Speaker 3: occasional hot taco bell diarrhea. Do you think for a
- 15:03Speaker 3: second that they wouldn't have traded Listen, I've talked to
- 15:08Speaker 3: you guys extensively about the depravity that goes on in
- 15:12Speaker 3: the entertainment industry and these upper echelon pedo pieces of shit.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Imagine having Spielberg as your dad. Okay, and let's not
- 15:26Speaker 3: forget since I brought up the Laurel Canyon earlier. John
- 15:30Speaker 3: Phillips from the Mamas and the Papas engaged in a
- 15:33Speaker 3: ten year in sestuous sexual relationship with his daughter Mackenzie,
- 15:38Speaker 3: different decade, but right down the street from the Menindaz Brothers. Okay,
- 15:43Speaker 3: this is a cultural thing. They be doing this shit.
- 15:48Speaker 3: This is rich people, fun time raping your kids. So
- 15:54Speaker 3: we're going to now listen and view some of my
- 15:59Speaker 3: personal favorite parts of the trial, the parts that I
- 16:03Speaker 3: feel are important to hear and see. This is going
- 16:08Speaker 3: to be a lengthy segment of this episode, and we
- 16:12Speaker 3: may have to break this up into a couple parts,
- 16:14Speaker 3: but let's get started and then we can dissect the
- 16:17Speaker 3: shit together and watch it with my commentary. Okay, and
- 16:23Speaker 3: I'm sure I don't have to say this, but you
- 16:27Speaker 3: are listening to the Cosmic Peach podcast. The testimonies you're
