the other people on the boats. Just a forewarning. On the boat,
0:51
just a forewarning. I don't have the nicest things to say about them,
0:55
well especially some of them. They act like they're so innocent in all this
0:58
and everything. But we were just a lot for the run. Yeah we
1:00

3:22
podcast end, because it's going to cause this marriage to end. So you
3:29

3:32
on the upside, the children will get to holiday. Anyways. Stewart came
3:40
from a broken home, all right, So without further ado, let's get
3:45
into the Murdoch murders. Mallory Beach. Malory Madison Beach was born April eighteenth,
3:53
nineteen ninety nine, in Walterboro, South Carolina, to Philip and Renee
3:55
Beach Malorie Madison. That is definitely some late nineteen nineties names right there.
4:01
Those were the big ones. Next to like it's like whenever Brittany and Jessica
4:06
were world big names, like probably ten years earlier, and soybody was named
4:10
Brittany and Jessica. I have no idea about those. Anyways. She about
4:14
Ashley and Madison. Stuart, what I'm wrong with you? Anyway, she
4:18
had two older sisters. Those were popular names. You just said Ashley and
4:23
Madison. I just said Mallory and Madison were popular names. Yeah, Ashley
4:27
Madison was popular names. Yes, I know the name Stewart, I know
4:32
what the website is. Yeah, you check to see if all was on.
4:35
No, oh please, you have to be a sugar daddy. You
4:40
ain't no sugar daddy. Yeah, I'm a sugar daddy. No, you're
4:44
not who sugar daddy? Are you? I'm a daddy and I have sugar
4:48
in the house. So weird. I'm just disturbed by you. Anyways.
4:56
She had two older sisters Morgan and Savannah do not Stewart do not Fine.
5:05
Anyways, Mallory was a very pretty girl. She was popular and sweet.
5:11
Mallory. She would make a best friend in preschool named Miley Altman, and
5:15
they would be inseparable throughout their childhood and teen years. She would attend Wade
5:19
Hampton High School, where she excelled at soccer. She enjoyed hunting and going
5:24
to church and was an animal lover, even wanting to become a veterinarian at
5:27
one point. You know, I never understood like animal lover and hunting.
5:30
But I guess she liked dogs and then like to shoot deer. But I've
5:35
just never been into hunting so well, I have, but it's like work.
5:42
We see. I was, I'm an animal lover, but for a
5:44
long time I went the different way than Mallory. I became a vegetarian because
5:49
I loved the animal so much. For ten years, she went the opposite
5:54
direction with her No. Then I moved to Louisiana and they broke me.
5:59
I corrupt. Yeah. It started with started with sexting. It was seafood
6:04
and night. Yeah. So anyways, during her teen years, Mallory and
6:10
Miley would add Morgan Dowdy to their friend groups. So we have Mallory,
6:14
Miley, and Morgan. Oh my god, this is gonna be confusing for
6:18
me. You know what, parents in the late nineties, we really should
6:21
have came up with a different letter to start all the names with besides M.
6:27
So anyways, they were all three living quintessential teenage lives. Miley had
6:30
a longtime boyfriend named Connor Cook, also another very popular name in the late
6:34
nineties, Connor who had It's like they named there. It's like they went
6:39
on the top ten Names of Baby list that year and then just like,
6:42
yeah, we'll just do this. So anyways, he was cousins and best
6:46
friends with Anthony Cook. Anthony had known Mallory almost his whole life. Mallory
6:51
was friends with his sister from a young age, and Mallory had always just
6:55
been around like his sister, like with their four and five, She's hanged
7:00
around. He's like the little bit older brother or whatever, you know,
7:01
and so she used to annoy him and everything. And then as we'll see,
7:05
it turned into something else. So as the two grew older, the
7:09
friendship would turn into something more. Wow, It's like it's like almost like
7:13
I wrote that or something. And on New Year's Eve twenty eighteen, Anthony
7:18
finally asked Mallory to be his girlfriend. Now, Morgan had been dating Paul
7:23
Murdoch since junior year of high school. So we got Anthony and Mallory.
7:26
There a couple. Morgan the other one of the other group friends or whatever
7:30
was dating Paul Murdoch. And then we had Paul, Anthony and Connor were
7:34
best friends dating the three other best friends, Morgan, Mallory and Miley because
7:39
Molly was dating Connor. So just to recap Paul and Morgan, Anthony and
7:46
Mallory and Mallory's the person we're going to be covering most of this episode.
7:50
But as everybody's familiar with, it's all around it. All the friends are
7:56
involved, Connor and Miley. We got it, Cyrus. No, No,
8:01
they did everything together from prom to go into the river to going on
8:03
trips and they were just having the time of their lives. Are they doing
8:07
some tubing? Probably Stuart probably tubing tubing? Why? Why are you shaking
8:16
your head? Oh my god, I'm like, yeah, you're a grand
8:18
all right, I take it back. The bathroom is not going to be
8:22
into this marriage. It's going to be the recording of this episode us.
8:28
I just want to I just want to punch a stupid face. You want
8:31
to punch me in my stupid face? Now? As um which might have
8:39
it? The what? Yeah, I don't know who is saying this.
8:46
Oh my god. However I can understand who who why they're saying it.
8:50
What are you talking about Paul and Morgan? Yes, they were a bit
8:54
of an odd match. I don't know who is saying this, but I
8:58
understand why are saying it. It's probably going around town like what is she
9:03
doing with that dude? Or what is he doing with her? Why?
9:07
Because he's rich and she's poor? Why? I don't even know she's poor.
9:11
She's just not Murdoch rich. Are they? Are they Charleston rich as
9:16
you said last episode, Yes, he's well, no, they're not even
9:20
Charleston rich. But fuck, what are their names? I don't know Morgan.
9:28
It's not my fault. They all start with yam. Okay, Morgan
9:33
is from what I understand, isn't like I mean, you're just not Murdoch
9:37
rich. You're not you're not established in the town, you're not originally from
9:43
Long Island or as I guess they say up north Long Island. Okay,
9:48
Long Island. I don't know. That's what I've heard. We went to
9:52
we went to a Poe Boy festival today and Stewart had some of the Poe
9:58
Boys there, but he didn't eat anything else for dinner. And now he's
10:01
had a couple. So, um, that's all I'm going to say.
10:05
Sure, we're talking about last week, this episode where you cut out about
10:09
thirty minutes. You talking about Oregon and Crispin. Oh god, yeah,
10:15
last week was bad. Yeah. If we would have kept all that audience,
10:20
you guys would have not been here today now, And like I quit
10:24
these people. So anyway, they're a bit of an odd match. That's
10:28
where we're at. Yeah, right, they're a bit of an odd match.
10:30
Morgan's family, they're from Long Island. Come on, we said enough,
10:35
I got something about Jersey. I do have a thing about Jersey.
10:39
I got all kinds of stuff for the end of this pod. Anyway,
10:41
Morgan's family was a working class family. Paul was a member of the murder
10:48
Oof whatever you call it, family, who was a very powerful family in
10:52
Hampton County. As you may all be aware, Yeah, we're going to
10:56
go into a little bit of the history because we didn't cover much of the
10:58
Murdoch family and how they how they're so powerful. We didn't cover it too
11:03
much in the first episode, so this will be a little rundown of it.
11:07
Now. Hampton County is in what is known in South Carolina as part
11:11
of the low Country. Low Country is a region in South Carolina at the
11:16
southernmost tip. It gets this name from the fact that most of the area,
11:20
which consists of cities like Charleston, Charleston, Charleston, I say,
11:24
I say so. I don't know why. Every time I say Charleston or
11:28
think of Charleston, I think they speak like a fog horn leghorn from the
11:33
Looney Tunes. I say so, I'll say, oh, I think they
11:37
do kind of what they used to. Maybe. Okay, Charleston, Hilton
11:41
Head, and Beaufort. Now they all lie below sea level. I thought
11:46
New Orleans was the only major city to lie below sea level because New Orleans
11:50
about five feet below. There's levees all around it. Okay, well,
11:52
I did my research in this definitely below sea level. Yes, yes,
11:58
I don't know. If they don't have levies, I guess well, anyway,
12:03
it all started with the Murdoch's great great grandfather fellow by the name of
12:09
Randolph murdochs Senior. Randolph started a law firm in nineteen ten in Hampton,
12:15
South Carolina, and he would then go on to become the solicitor in Hampton
12:20
County area from nineteen twenty until nineteen forty, when he died after his car
12:26
was struck by a train. Do I feel like this is something they might
12:31
not have heard? I found this little tidbit, little nugget. Now what
12:37
a solicitor is in it's the lead da in an area. I guess the
12:43
region of the county or whatever it's called, is what I assume, since
12:50
it's not spelled out for me. Okay, well, I will also I
12:54
will also correct. I thought it wouldmit I had found something. They said
12:58
it was blow sea level, but they said both of the low country sits
13:01
about two hundred and seventy feet above sea level. Charleston is actually eight feet
13:05
above sea level, which isn't much, no, no, But New Orleans
13:09
is five feet below. Oh that's what they get for the debauchery, for
13:18
the sin of Bourbon Street. Now, in the months before Rudolph's death,
13:22
he had been ill and his son, Randolph scare quotes Buster Mardock Junior filled
13:30
in for him frequently at court. Now, Randolph's death was ruled an accident,
13:35
but rumors swirled that he stopped on the tracks on purpose. Yeah.
13:41
This this family has been causing rumors and chaos since the beginning. Well,
13:46
what I'm guessing is that Randolph Senior was doing a bathroom remodel with his wife.
13:54
He's just like, fucking fuck it, trains coming. I'm stopping here
14:01
now. The fact that it was ruled an accident, that didn't stop the
14:03
Murdoch the Junior from suing the rail rail Oh jesus, here we go from
14:11
suing the railway and went in just saying what I just need a nap and
14:20
a poe boy. Now, upon the death of his father, Buster Junior
14:24
would win the election to become the solicitor and would serve in that position until
14:30
nineteen eighty six. During that time, the civil litigation firm that his father
14:35
had started, Pmpeed Law Group thrived in the town pimped if you will,
14:45
the Pimp Law group them. Yeah. So, anyways, is that it's
14:50
Stewart that is all I have. So basically the Murdochs had been doing some
14:54
shady ship from the beginning. They're like, we'll sue, we'll do whatever.
14:58
We're trying to make some money. Well, it sounds like Dad was
15:00
a well great great grandpa was a He's like, hey, I'm a lawyer.
15:05
I'm gonna start this. Uh, I'm gonna become a da basically solicitor.
15:11
Yes, now I'm depressed. I'm gonna get run over by Well No,
15:15
I read some I read some things that he was like terminally ill and
15:18
stuff like that. So they're saying that maybe he did that to kind of
15:22
like get some money for his family because he was going to die anyways,
15:26
and this was a way to do it. So you get that life insurance
15:28
going a little quicker and like sue in the railroad and all that stuff like
15:33
that. So you think he'd planning for his son Junior to sue the railroad.
15:35
Yeah, they probably talked about it. Yeah, these are like not
15:39
the best people, so you think they're just you think they're just riding going
15:41
all the way from the core back to the top. Yeah, I'd like
15:45
to see what the Murdocks were before even this guy god knows what they were
15:48
back before there was internet and ship you could hide. You could just hide
15:52
shit. Yep, all right. So upon Buster Junior's retirement because he'd retired
15:58
in nineteen eighty six, his son, Randolph Murdoch the Third would become Slister
16:03
until he retired in two thousand and six. This is when the line of
16:07
Murdock's being the solister of the fourteenth Judicial Circuit would end, but their power
16:11
would not. They had a long line of power in the private sector through
16:15
the family law firm, that pimped law firm. You know. With all
16:19
this power came money. And this was, like we said, old money,
16:22
this is generational wealth. This is not new money like them trash from
16:27
Vanderpump rules. And I'm like, I'm totally in VPR now, Like it's
16:34
you know, it was dying in the last couple of seasons too, like
16:37
we were. We were losing some steam. They tried to bring in those
16:40
new people and it was terrible and everything like that. There's a there's a
16:42
select group people right now they're listening to this and going like, yes,
16:45
carry you were right, but we have breathed new life into it. And
16:48
now I'm like rewatching. I'm like, oh my god, Raquel and Tom,
16:52
I'm seeing it. I see it all anyway, So so yeah,
16:56
they're old money, not that trashy new money. Now. Paul's father,
17:00
Richard Alexander Murdoch, was a lawyer as well and beneficiary, beneficiary to all
17:07
of this power and money. He would marry Margaret Maggie Bransteader and they would
17:11
have two sons, Richard alex Alexander Murdoch Junior, who went by Buster and
17:18
Paul. These people gotta get some fucking new names, Like can we just
17:19
get some creativity up in here? I mean, I understand like random pump
17:23
rolls like got like ocean and lake and summer and stuff like that, but
17:27
a little crazy, but we could use a little flare in these names instead
17:32
of everything's Buster or Alexander or Randolph. No, can we get a Crispin?
17:38
Can we not get Crispin? Crispin would fit totally into this family.
17:42
Steward just saying so anyways, it must be noted that the men in this
17:48
family, Stewy, can't we gotta we gotta talk about it, had shocking
17:52
one had shockingly oranges, red hair, and these weird creeps. Toddler smiles.
18:03
You know, you know what everybody's talking about, the toddler smile.
18:06
When you tell your toddler to smile and they do well, not ours.
18:07
Ours won't smile at all. But um, she refuses to have pictures taken.
18:12
Um. But you know, like when you tell like a little kid
18:15
to smile and they do that, like creepy, creepy smile. That's like
18:21
all their teeth their show it and they're just like what You're like, what
18:22
are you doing? No? Act normal? Like Chandler, Oh my god,
18:26
I just read them. I just read the Matthew Perry. But okay,
18:32
I listened to the audio. Why I was cleaning or whatever. You're
18:37
shut the fuck up, Steward, I listened to it or whatever. And
18:40
anyways, but Chandler, when he was trying to take his engagement photos,
18:42
Steward, he had that creepy smile. So that's what the Mardox had,
18:48
part yes and parrot with um carrot top red hair. So anyways, that
18:55
just has to be no, we got to paint a picture. So they
18:56
had multiple homes and properties in the family and louting a one thousand, seven
19:00
hundred and seventy two acre plot of land called Mozille. The boys ran rampant
19:07
at this property, especially Paul. Paul was the wild one who pushed boundaries.
19:11
Buster was, you know, the more responsible one. He was the
19:14
one. Yeah, he was the one that was supposed to follow in his
19:15
father's footsteps. He is Richard Alexander Murdoch junior. So he's right there.
19:22
He's the oldest. He's next in the life for the monarchy. Yeah,
19:26
so he's yeah, he's like air in despair. You know. William's going
19:29
to be the Prince Harry. We're just hoping he doesn't fuck it up too
19:32
hard. And so Paul is Harry. They even got the red hair.
19:34
It's all this lining up. So anyways, so, um, who's Megan
19:40
Markel and all this? We don't we don't know. But if you're here's
19:42
Pippa. But if you're visiting from England this summer in the US, please
19:48
take William and Kate with you. Are not William and Kate, I don't
19:53
know, you don't even know, Okay, So anyways, pack him back
19:56
with you, they would, um um, and maybe justin Bieber back to
20:03
Canada anyway, so they would become or Buster's supposed to become a lawyer and
20:07
work at the family front like firm. Like we said, he's supposed to
20:10
fall in the footsteps and all that. I don't know why. I'll see
20:15
what happens. We'll see. Now. The six friends that we spoke of,
20:19
all most of them with a bunch of names to start with him,
20:23
a couple that don't. They would party out at Moselle property. And they
20:29
noted that Paul began drinking at a very young age, at around fourteen years
20:33
old, which and Louisian's about normal. Okay, well it wasn't for me.
20:38
That's not normal. Stewart. I understand you heathens over here, but
20:41
us in Texas, well, you go to Marty Garl. You do what
20:45
you do on Marty Garl. I know you guys are heathens over here.
20:48
Now, drinking was a big part of the Mardoc family. They always had
20:53
an alcohol around. They would allow their children to drink. Now, see
20:57
that was not allowed. If you were going to drink in Louisiana and be
21:02
underage, you had to go out and sneak around. You had to have
21:04
some show some respect. You had to show some respect. You can just
21:07
sit there and hey, mom, throw me a bear. Yeah no,
21:11
that shit didn't fly. But like, no, I'm gonna smack you upside
21:15
your head. What do you mean, throw you a bear? You best
21:17
go drink that out back behind the shed. Best go buy that sh illegally.
21:21
And don't you be taking my stash, because I don't become a home
21:26
drunk either. Yeah. Now, the Murdoch parents would pretty much let the
21:30
boys just run wild. They could pretty much do anything they wanted. When
21:34
Paul drank, reports are he would act very strange, and they even had
21:41
a nickname for his alter ego. Whenever he got to the point of no
21:45
return. I mean, we've all gotten to the point of no return whenever
21:49
we're drinking. Yeah, you just get to that point. You just tip
21:52
over the edge and you're like, oh god. Yeah. But a lot
21:56
of people there's two reactions. Some people like if I drink too much,
22:00
I just go to bed like I'm just done. But there's other people that
22:03
drink too much and they get like super happy, or they getting old Paul
22:07
and get an alter ego, which they called Timmy. Oh my God's gonna
22:12
come. Don't tell the park Stormy. Yeah, Timmy got those weird hands.
22:22
It was almost like the it reminded me of like the Wednesday Adam hands
22:26
when she was like doing her dance with my Hams hands hands. Now at
22:33
this time, as time went on, Miley began not liking Paul. She
22:38
tolerated him because it was her best friend's boyfriend, but she was pretty uncomfortable
22:45
with his level of drinking and the way that he treated her friend. Whenever
22:48
he would get really blasted blackout and this was pretty blackout drunk, and this
22:55
was frequent, he didn't have the stop button like when he started drinking.
22:57
Now it was on, so he would get the blackout drunk, keep on
23:02
truck and turn into Timmy. Yeah. So if you've ever had those friends
23:07
that get blackout drunk and they just keep on motoring on and you're like,
23:10
oh, you're like, go to sleep, go to fucking sleep. Like
23:14
Bethany said, I don't know what that is, just sonia. I don't
23:18
know the real housewife. I know it's probably a housewife. Somebody got blackout
23:23
drunk and just kept sonia like would mix like pills and alcohol, and then
23:27
she started acting all strange and everything. And then finally Bethany just had enough
23:32
and she's like, go sleep. So the alcohol and the pain pills would
23:37
counter out. Well, it was supposed to be. I don't remember.
23:40
It was like I can't remember what she was taking pills for it. Anyways,
23:41
that's not what we're here people anywhere. We're just trying to explain that
23:45
Timmy. Timmy, which is Paul's alter ego, would keep on truck and
23:49
whenever Paula needed to go to school. Yeah, so they would even have
23:52
videos and they had like time prints and stuff, and he'd be like six
23:56
thirty am and he's still like what is the beer beer funneler? When he's
24:00
still he's still doing shots at six am? And you know us bad.
24:04
Unless you started at six thirty am for Mardi Gras to be on a parade
24:07
float, then you should you should be in you should be in bed.
24:11
Yeah, you shouldn't see two of those in it. Yeah, you shouldn't
24:12
see six pm and six am in the same same wake period. Uh,
24:18
yeah you should. That's a normal waking hours for most working folks. Do
24:23
what you shouldn't see a six pm and a six am. You shouldn't see
24:27
six pm then six am. Well, yeah you would, because you would
24:30
go to bed maybe nine or ten in the wake up at six I'm saying,
24:34
in the same wake window, wake window. Oh we're talking about wake
24:37
windows, like you're being awake. You shouldn't be awake at six pm and
24:42
still awake at six But if you work the night shift. Here we go.
24:49
What if we were remodel our bathroom? What if we put our separate
24:56
ways? Anyways, all right, we'll just one second now. Paul and
25:02
Morgan, they would break up frequently. Evidently they'd have issues, break up,
25:07
get back together. I don't know who does this. Well, there's
25:11
children's steward there. I never fifteen, sixteen year old, and he has
25:15
a drinking problem at a young age. I mean, I don't know who
25:18
these people are. The breakup. There are children's stewards. Like when I
25:22
break up, I don't get back together. Okay, Well they're teenagers.
25:26
When I was a teenager, I didn't break up. Okay. Well,
25:29
Paul had a lot of money, so I'm sure he had a lot going
25:32
for him. It wasn't the fiery red hair. It was his money.
25:34
Let's be honest with Paul. Was no liquor. You think it was the
25:37
bulge? Yes, I told you guys, you're not gonna like my opinions
25:44
on these people. You're not gonna like them. I'm just saying. Now,
25:48
Paul went on to start hitting Morgan, which is completely unacceptable. We
25:52
all agree on that that's unacceptable. So he was actually evolving from just being
25:57
a weirdo to an abusive, violent person whenever he drank. Now, one
26:04
time Paul insisted on driving with Morgan in the car and they crashed, Now
26:10
after he'd been drinking. Because it sounds like he was always fucked up.
26:14
Yeah, he always had a blood alcohol content level of point o eight or
26:18
something like. He was right there on the edge. Now, instead of
26:22
involving the police, they called Grandpa Randolph to clean up the mess that he
26:26
had created, along with Paul's parents. Yeah, Grandpa was like the go
26:30
to guy for Paul. He called him a lot. Yeah, I'm guessing
26:33
they all. Randolph had a soft spot for old Paul because he was kind
26:37
of a As we'll find out, he was not the favorite child out of
26:42
the two. Now, well, you can't compete with that red headed devil.
26:47
Busters, No, he's the heir to the throne. Now, during
26:51
this time, Mallory was there for Morgan, and they encouraged her to leave
26:56
Paul. However, she wouldn't listen no, no, despite the drinking in
27:03
his back of his pants too much. On February twenty third, twenty nineteen,
27:07
the six friends, all under age, ranging from nineteen to twenty years
27:11
old, were headed to an oyster roast. I think there was a couple
27:15
of them. I think maybe Anthony might have been three days shy of twenty
27:18
one, and there was another one that was roll closed. So they decided
27:22
to take Paul's boat up Beaufort River. They began drinking when they arrived at
27:26
Paul's Grandpa's river house and then headed onto the roast oyster roast. It was
27:32
a cold night in the low Country because it's you know, February, pretty
27:34
chilly, gets chilly around it, yes, especially on a river, you
27:37
know with the wind stuff. Yep. So they continue to drink, and
27:45
friends around them they start noticing that they probably should not be driving back on
27:48
that boat. None of them like the whole time that night, they're taking
27:53
snapchats of them drinking, you know, getting like white claw wasted. You
28:00
know, ain't no laws when you're drinking claws and stuff. That's your favorite.
28:03
Yeah, and they're all underage doing this. They have video of Pole
28:06
going in getting beer from using his brother's idea to get beer and you're like
28:11
holding it up like yeah, I got it, guys, and things like
28:14
that. So I just want to state right now, none of these people
28:18
are innocent at this moment. Everyone makes it everyone, Yes, they are,
28:23
I understand. Whenever I first heard this, I thought they were all
28:26
I really did think they were all like fifteen and sixteen year old. I'm
28:30
like, okay, they just like really they were completely huh. I didn't
28:33
think they were well, I know that, sir. I'm telling what I
28:36
thought. For fuck's sake, I'm telling what I thought. Okay, I
28:40
thought they were fifteen and sixteen years old. I thought they just didn't know
28:42
what they were getting themselves into. They were completely unawares. But then after
28:47
I looked into this and everything and started watching documentaries and reading stuff about this,
28:51
I'm like, these are like grown ass people. They've been drinking heavily
28:55
for years, like with Paul and stuff like that. They made Poles sound
28:59
out like the worst, like the only drunk guy and the whole thing.
29:02
When you watch these like on Netflix and everything the documentaries, he wasn't the
29:06
only one out there drinking in excess. They're all doing it, and they're
29:08
all willing participants in it. And they're all saying, we knew Paul was
29:12
becoming Yeah new Paul was just drinking so much and we couldn't believe how much
29:18
he was drinking and he was becoming this timmy person. Yeah, and we
29:22
were just mortified. They're like, they're all over they're just sipping there one
29:26
glass of rose that they had all night. I just can't believe Paul would
29:30
act like this. Why bitch, you were acting like this, Like,
29:33
don't even start. Anyways, like I said, we do not have probably
29:38
the most popular opinions of these people, these grown adults. I'm not gonna
29:42
call them children. These are grown adults. So anyways, because they also
29:47
put other people's I mean, there could have been somebody, I mean,
29:48
I don't know who else would be out on a boat in the middle of
29:51
the night, but they could have injured other people, ran into wherever.
29:55
So anyways, we'll continue one. So anyway, so, like I said,
30:00
they're not listening to their friends, but that we're saying, like maybe
30:03
these guys shouldn't be drinking at the oyster rows. They get on the boat,
30:06
they continue on with their night, and Connor and Paul they want to
30:10
stop at a bar on the way back to the river house. So they
30:12
did this. There's video of them stopping, popping off, stopping at this
30:18
bar, throwing back a few shots. It's just Connor and Paul. The
30:21
other ones are just outside like playing on the swings and acting old chill and
30:23
everything. Everything's good. Nobody was in there for the documentary or in there.
30:27
We're like, yeah, and we knew that we shouldn't have stopped.
30:32
We shouldn't have got on the boat because Paul was so drunk. Yeah,
30:37
well no, they no, they didn't say no. They never said they
30:40
didn't. They never said we shouldn't have stopped. They said Paul and Connor
30:45
wanted to stop. We didn't want to stop. I'm like, you bitches
30:48
are over there swinging on those uh just on the playground. Lottie'd freaking dah
30:52
over there, and nobody's saying like maybe I should call an uber and get
30:56
home instead of getting on this boat. Nobody did that stop. So if
31:00
you have flew into an airport and Paul and Connor went into the barn dead
31:03
shots, are you getting back on the airplane with them to fly to your
31:07
next destination? Well, if they're not the pilot, now, if they
31:10
are the pilots, because that well one of them was the pilot, one
31:12
was the called pilot. Anyways, so they they're thrown back of these shots.
31:18
At this point, it's one seventeen am. The friends all get back
31:22
on the boat and they say that Paul he shouldn't have been he should not
31:26
have been driving. But he insisted that he was driving this boat. But
31:30
you see them, it's caught on camera, every single one of them is
31:33
walking down to the dock, laughing, and nobody's being dragged onto this boat
31:37
or anything. I understand they were all drinking and stuff, but like,
31:41
let's not pretend you guys weren't making poor choices too. Paul's a shitty person.
31:45
I get it. He's terrible person. He hit Morgan. He's just
31:49
a shit head. But the fact is is that the rest of you participated
31:53
in the drinking, got on the boat willingly. And I'm sure after you
31:57
got on the boat you thought whole shit. This is a lot worse than
32:01
what I thought. But you all knew how much he'd been drinking a bar,
32:06
knew he turned into Timmy. Okay. So anyway, so as they're
32:10
driving on the boat, they all begin getting angry because Paul he's acting erratic.
32:16
He's taking his hands off the steering wheel. He starts fighting them.
32:20
They start fighting amongst themselves and everything comes to a head when Paul actually slaps
32:24
Morgan. He at this point he calls her a fucking whore and he spits
32:29
on her. Now, at this point, they tried to help Paul with
32:32
the steering, but eventually they give up. Paul had stripped down to us,
32:37
don't give up, this is what I'm saying. So anyways, Paul
32:39
strips down to his underwear while he's driving this boat and everything. And around
32:44
two thirty am, they all just settled down on the boat, hoping they
32:45
can just make it to the river house. And that's why that's when they
32:50
see themselves headed for a bridge and the next thing you know, they've collided
32:52
with the So okay, are you telling me from the time they left the
32:55
bar, they haven't even made it back. It's already been an hour.
33:00
Yeah, they've been driving is So they left the oyster roast. I don't
33:05
know what time, however long that took to get to the bar. Yes,
33:07
Stewart drank at the bar and then it's been another hour driving at two
33:10
o'clock in the morning. Yes, so anyway, so okay, so anyway,
33:15
So what I'm saying is that they all participating in the drinking. They
33:17
all got on the boat. Yes, when they got on the boat,
33:21
Paul turned into a complete abusive assholes hits Morgan all this stuff. They see
33:27
that he's far worse off than they probably even themselves knew because they had been
33:31
drinking. But at this point it's like when you see someone that's drunker than
33:35
you're like, oh shit, I thought I was drunk. They're really drunk,
33:38
and this isn't good. And he's in charge of like steering this boat.
33:40
So there they all just are hoping that they can make it, and
33:45
they don't. Yeah, so they hit this bridge, chaos and sues.
33:52
It's fifty four degrees outside, the water's even colder. It's dark out,
33:57
it's fogging, the tide was strong. All the friends are there except for
34:01
Mallorie. So everybody gets in this boat wreck. They all pop up.
34:07
They're either on land. They're coming out of the water, out of the
34:09
river, crawling up on land. One of the group calls nine one one
34:14
when they got to the shore, and you can hear the girl screaming,
34:16
where's Mallory wears? Mallory wears Mallory. Bodycam footage shows the chaos after the
34:22
incident. Paul's first request was a telephone. One telephone, Yes, a
34:29
telephone. Oh, you mean like an iPhone. Yeah. Now, once
34:34
Paul gets a phone, he calls his grandfather, Randolph and tells him they
34:37
were in a boat crash and that Connor was driving through. Goddamn Connor on
34:42
the bus. Yes, he did. The girls are over here of this,
34:46
and they're shocked. They all knew that Paul was the one that was
34:49
driving. Anthony is distraught. He's screaming at Paul, who was smirking,
34:54
supposedly smirking during all this time. And Paul's obviously as kid going by as
35:01
moniker Timmy are not going by it. Yeah, So he's over there smirking,
35:06
and Anthony's going, I can't find my girl, my girlfriend's missing and
35:10
everything, blah blah blah, just screaming at him. So the parents were
35:15
contacted and began coming to the scene. During all of this, the only
35:20
parents not contacted were actually Malory's, who is the one person missing. So
35:24
Anthony's mom told the police that they need to contact Mallorie's parents, and the
35:30
police officers are like, yeah, we probably should do that or whatever,
35:32
but they actually never do. So Philip and Renee they find out about the
35:37
incident from Renee's mother, not the police. They learned that most because Renee's
35:42
mother, I guess had you know all this chaos is happening. This is
35:45
small a relatively small town. She hears word from it and everything because they're
35:50
all like involved with some of them are involved with like the jail, with
35:53
the police station, everything, And so Renee's mother, which would have been
35:58
a Mallory's grandmother, here about this. They learned that most of the injured
36:02
were at Beaufort Memorial, but Mallory was not, so the parents they head
36:07
over to Beaufort, but decided to go to the side of the accident where
36:10
they believe Mallory is because they're like, what are we going to the hospital
36:14
for? I mean, our kids not there, Like, what do we
36:16
even do? Yeah, nobody said, she's at the hospital. Yeah,
36:20
after they find the bridge where the crash occurred, they see that their search
36:23
parties looking for Mallory. Anthony was still there at the side. At this
36:29
point, he would not leave. He said, I'm not going anywhere until
36:31
you guys find Mallory. Because again, this is Anthony Mallory. They had
36:35
started dating at the New Year and they're madly in love and all this,
36:38
yadida YadA, kindly mean, yeah, okay before the remodel. Yeah,
36:46
so Anthony's just completely distraught about this. Yeah. So here at the hospitals
36:52
where things start getting really shitty with the Mardock. I mean, as if
36:57
the stuff we talked about Paul wasn't bad enough to the rest of the bench.
37:02
So here we are. We got Morgan, Miley, Paul, and
37:05
Connor. They're all being traded at the hospital, yes, the four of
37:08
them, because Mallory's missing and Anthony won't leave. Yeah, so four it
37:14
to hospital, and based on the snapchat photos that are being circulated, we
37:19
see that Connor had a very large wound across his left jaw up to his
37:22
lip, and that Morgan had large lacerations across her fingers. Don't get me
37:28
fucking started on the snapchats. These were their own personal snapchats. They're taking
37:32
up their injuries and sending out like look at my injury and stuff, And
37:37
I'm like, I'm were they duck facing while they were doing I'm trying to
37:40
be I'm trying to be nice about them and stuff, but don't fucking tell
37:45
me you're just like so distraught and just Paul's the worst person, and you're
37:49
so upset. I'm sure they're very upset about Mallorie missing, but why the
37:52
fuck are you taking snapchat photos and sending them out? Because there was no
37:55
tektok videos time, zero patients for these people's zero Tony. If they had
38:04
some contrition on their interviews, I would be like, Okay, yeah,
38:07
we were really screw it up. We should have done all. They were
38:12
drank and we shouldn't have gone on a boat with the dumb motherfucker. Yeah,
38:14
I mean, but there's none. They were like, oh, he
38:16
he went to timmy mode. And we tried to stop and we tried to
38:20
take his keys, we tried to get all this stuff to stop him,
38:22
but he was like no, I'm gonna go. We're like, okay,
38:24
let's get on the boat. With him then, yeah, because guess what,
38:28
Timmy had money. Okay, yeah, Timmy had a lot of money.
38:30
Even when whether he was Timmy or Paup, Timmy treated them to very
38:35
nice lives, all of them. They went to things like the Final like
38:37
the girlfriend and stuff. She went to like the Final four had like front
38:42
row seats. They went to different vacations. I'm sure that was great on
38:45
the snapchats. Oh yeah, looking great on them? Are the grams?
38:49
They didn't have the grams back? Yeah they did. Anyway, moving on,
38:55
like we said, unpopular opinions over here. Since Paul was the drunkest,
39:00
he was of course the least injured, but he was still pretty shit
39:06
faced. He eventually had a breathalyzer several hours after the crash. Blood alcohol
39:13
content was point two four and just about any state these days, before you
39:17
get arrested, it's point oh eight. So he's three times a legal limit,
39:22
which I can't even believe. I guess he just had had created like
39:25
a high tolerance, because I mean I think at that point a lot of
39:29
people would be passed passed out. It's like the But going back to the
39:34
Matthew Perry books, du he was up to eighteen hundred milligrams of oxycodone a
39:37
day, like he had the addiction to even get to a point where he
39:42
could function because of addiction. And apparently like the starting dose is like five
39:46
or ten milligrams, and he's up to eighteen hundred milligrams. Like he was
39:50
at the point where they were like, he's like, there's not enough in
39:52
the world for me to be okay anymore. I'm at that point. Yeah,
39:58
that's a lot of shit to get high. Yeah. So yeah,
40:01
so we're I'm guessing at this point, Paul is pointed, is just as
40:06
him waking up in the morning. Yeah, he's just that's his baseline.
40:08
That's his baseline. Is legally drunk now, it was described He was described
40:15
as angry and nasty by the hospital staff. And soon after everyone arrived at
40:20
the hospital, Randolph Old, Grandpa and dad Alex Murdos showed up the at
40:27
the hospital and they immediately go into spin mode to clean up a lawyers.
40:31
Yeah, there their attorneys, so they stopped police from talking to Paul.
40:37
Of course, Alex think, well, that's what you can't have that drunk
40:44
motherfucker saying anything. Alex then calls up Connor's parents to tell them that Connor
40:50
was driving the boat and that he would make sure Connor was taken care of.
40:54
Alex and Randolph were busy in the hospital making sure everybody, including the
41:00
place, thought the Connor was driving the boat. Now, I will say,
41:02
I don't like to defend Alex Murdoch or the grandpa, and we will
41:07
continue to call him Alex because he likes to say his name is Alec.
41:09
But your name is not Alex. Your name is Alexander Alex for short.
41:15
You have an ex at the end, you don't have a seat, and
41:16
you're not a Murdoch, You're a Murdough. So yeah, you're Alex Murdoch.
41:22
And I mean that one doesn't matter as much, but it does to
41:24
me. You're a complete fraud. But anyway, anyways, apparently Paul had
41:30
told them that Connor was driving, so they are going under the assumption.
41:34
But I think maybe that it seemed like at first they thought Connor was driving,
41:38
but then I think they found out Paul was driving, but they still
41:42
continued the cover up. Yeah, even after they left the hospital or like,
41:45
oh shit, Paul is driving. Oh yeah, well, well,
41:47
well we'll protect Paul we'll go out of court for Paul. We'll Claire Connor.
41:52
No that that ain't Claire Connor. Yeah. So anyways, um,
41:55
the search that didn't make sense. But anyway I'm saying, and that even
42:00
after they found out the truth, they were like, no, Connor was
42:04
still driving. Yes, they found out at first they thought it was Connor
42:07
because that's what Paul told him. Then they found out that Paul was actually
42:10
driving, but they continued the light that Connor was driving. So the search
42:15
for Mallory continued into the next day. They had helicopters, divers, boats
42:21
searching the water in the area. There was a large group of volunteers showing
42:23
up with personal boats trying to find Mallory. The search for Mallory was all
42:28
over the news, and the rumors began about Paul being drunk and driving started
42:32
to swirl like this is they're talking about it. The Murdocks were right in
42:37
the middle of the investigation into the boating accident the whole entire time, Like
42:40
they've implanted themselves in with the police and with the Sheriff's department. Everything that
42:46
you could possibly think of they've gotten themselves into, including the fact that Alex's
42:52
brother, which would be Paul's uncle, actually took his truck and helped hould
42:59
the boat out of the water. And they were also Yeah, so they
43:02
were allowed to be with the evidence of everything like that. Yeah. And
43:07
they were also allowed down near where the crash occurred. While Mallory's parents her
43:13
they wanted to go down there and just like look around and see I don't
43:15
I mean, I don't know what they want to see, just be near
43:17
where their daughter had gone missing. And the police were like, no,
43:22
you can't do that, so if you interrupt our crimes saying. But the
43:27
Murdochs just they sat there, they were sitting in their car and they were
43:29
told they couldn't go down there, and they just watched the Murdochs just walk
43:31
right down into the crime scene. Yes, because at this point it is
43:36
a crime scene. Now. It was easy to see that the Murdochs were
43:39
receiving special privileges and they were trying to paint a picture of what happened that
43:43
night, and they wanted to make sure Connor had all the blame. On
43:47
March third, twenty nineteen, a week after the accident, to search and
43:51
rescue swimmers called into nine one one Statium that they had found Mallory about five
43:59
miles down river from the crash, and autopsy revealed that Mallory died from blunt
44:04
forest trauma and drowning. So I'm guessing that she got hit and the head
44:10
knocked, unconscious, tossed in the water, and then she drowned after that.
44:15
So she was alive when she went in the water and she drowned,
44:19
I'm guessing because she was unconscious from what I gathered. Yeah, I mean,
44:22
if they had unfortunately, if it hadn't been so dark and foggy and
44:24
everything that in the water so cold, if someone had been able to locate
44:29
her. But it sounds like she hit her head and then probably sunk straight
44:31
to the bottom because she wasn't she was unconscious. But yeah, unfortunately,
44:36
if someone had been able to find her, if she might have survived.
44:39
Quite possible. Yeah, So after finding Mallory's body, they're waiting for it.
44:45
The family are waiting for an arrest of Paul for driving Wall under the
44:51
influence and killing Mallory. But nothing happened. Can I just add Stewart and
44:54
I Ken I'm not trying to harp on these other people because this tragedy feel
44:59
very well. I don't mind, as it's not about new about the bathroom
45:05
anyways. These it just it's aggravating watching the other friends in the documentaries doing
45:14
these interviews. And and yes, Paul was a terrible person. Paul was
45:16
abusive, Paul was a horrible drunk. He was an asshole. We all
45:21
we all are, we all get that. But if any of them,
45:24
at the level that they had been drinking that evening, had taken the wheel
45:30
of that boat, maybe they would have maybe they would have made it,
45:34
maybe they wouldn't have crashed anything. It could have been a different outcome.
45:37
But all of them were too drunk to be driving that boat. So let's
45:42
not act like if if if like the Anthony guys just like oh I was
45:45
trying to like take over the wheel. It's like, dude, the Connor
45:49
guy was doing shots in the bar with the Yeah. I mean like,
45:53
let's not let's not pretend that we're all like saints on this boat and we're
45:58
all just just just like stand up citizens over here, like oh god,
46:01
believe Paul was drinking. But anyways, that point, I just want to
46:07
point that out that they that any of them would have been above the legal
46:10
limit driving this boat, and all of them were under age and shouldn't have
46:14
been drinking the first place. If you're gonna drink, just stay at the
46:16
Dane Grandpa's river house, like stay at Moe's. Hell, yeah, you
46:22
got it good. Don't drive your four wheelers mine, get shit faced or
46:25
whatever out there. Don't get on the water. Yeah, and they could
46:29
have called an ubern't that. I mean, you probably shouldn't be dropping poor
46:31
wheels. But if you're on that property, at least you're only going to
46:36
hurt yourselves, not somebody else. They could have hurt somebody else in this
46:38
situation. Yeah, they could have heard a boat coming the other way up
46:42
the river. Yeah. I don't know who ran into it from understand like
46:45
boat safety and really not supposed to be out there at night. Probably shouldn't
46:50
anyway, it's not a two thirty in the morning for sure. Anyway,
46:53
Getting back to the parents, they decide to hire a lawyer to look into
46:58
this crash. Now they get a biomechanical engineer to recreate the crash. They
47:05
found the one in the entire country, kiddy, did they there was only
47:08
one? Now they want he want. The family wanted to determine where everybody
47:15
was in the boat based on their injuries. So this biomedical engineer determined that
47:22
Paul was driving, not Connor, because he determined that Connor would not have
47:28
sustained the injuries he did if he was behind the wheel. The lawyer also
47:32
finds all the footage leading up to the crash showing that Paul was purchasing the
47:37
alcohol using Buster's ID. Yeah, like we mentioned, he was out there,
47:42
like, but they were all cheering him on there we did it.
47:45
Yeah, Yeah, he was raising up like yeah, I got it,
47:50
guys, I did it now. The PI also learns that most of the
47:54
lead officers responded to the scene of the crime, I mean, the accident
48:00
and doing interviews at the hospital were buddies with the Murdock's phone records even show
48:07
that Alex Murdoch was calling one of the investigators while that investigator was at the
48:12
hospital talking to Morgan, Miley, Connor, and Paul. This information was
48:17
brought forward and the public outcry question why Paul had not been charged. Yeah,
48:23
I mean, like I said, everybody was drunk, but he was
48:27
the one driving. The fact is is that he's the one driving. Everybody
48:30
said it, they had evidence that said he was driving. The fact is
48:35
is that if everybody's drunk in the vehicle, but you're the one driving,
48:37
you're the one that gets charged. Yes, just the way it is,
48:40
because I have been the drunk passenger somebody else got pulled over and I was
48:45
like, dude, I was just here for the run. Yeah, in
48:49
Stu's younger days, not currently, no current, I'm always the drunk passenger.
48:52
Yes, yes, I told Stu was like, whatever, you know,
48:59
because stass On Vanderpunt rolls, she has her like dark passenger and I
49:02
tell stud that, I'm like, that's just my dark pass She just stole
49:06
that shit from deck I know, but that's just my dark passenger. So
49:08
anyways, yeah, like the Poe boyd the Poe boy thing today, Stu
49:15
was my designated driver. That's how it was. And you still shit on
49:20
me all day anyway, not literally, not metaphorically. Yeah, Now I
49:24
didn't Stu what I got after you. I got after you like at the
49:28
end of the day. But whatever. Anyway. Finally, on April eighteenth,
49:32
twenty nineteen, which would have been Mallory's twentieth birthday, Paul was charged
49:39
with three counts. Yep. Very symbolic that it was on her birthday.
49:44
I feel like I feel like they might have planned that one. It was
49:46
like that episode that we had where the I think it was Dominique. They
49:52
had the trial on the wedding on Valentine's Day or whatever. You think that
49:57
the purpose? Yeah, I think they did purpose well. One count was
50:01
of Booie bolting under the influence with a water if you're fancy, yes,
50:12
with a water device, resulting in depth. Two counts of Bui with a
50:16
water device with great bodily injury. The charges could result in up to twenty
50:23
five years in prison, but probably won't. But probably won't for Paul because
50:29
he was not arrested and booked in the jail. He was waiting in an
50:35
arrayment that would occur on May six, twenty nineteen, so he's not arrested
50:40
from this. He's just said like, go about your business, go about
50:45
your business. Well, have you come down the courthouse. We don't want
50:51
to, We don't want to ruin Star Wars Day for you, So um
50:53
our Star Trek Day, Star Trek May the fourth be with you. Just
50:59
angered a lot of people. Star Wars Okay, we don't want to We
51:02
don't want to run that day, so we're gonna do it May sixth Okay.
51:07
Now, soon after the charges were filed, the solicitor, two judges,
51:10
and the Beauford County Sheriff's Department recused themselves due to connections with the Murdochs.
51:15
If that don't tell you what, that'll tell you something about the Murdochs.
51:19
I don't know what does. The whole entire legal system was like,
51:22
I'm out, I'm too close to this whole situation. I'm gonna get Yeah,
51:29
I've been out the old Moseille anyway. So this was a big story
51:32
in the area. A member of a very powerful family, powerful family was
51:37
being brought up on felony charges. This doesn't happen every day. Now.
51:40
Three months later, his bell hearing was held and he was released on his
51:45
own reconnaissance. Paul was never once put in handcuffs, a jumpsuit, nothing
51:50
like a normal person who would have been charged with similar chart crimes would have
51:55
done like and they don't. They're not saying they some like people. Journalists
52:00
went and looked at people who had been charged with similar things, and they
52:05
said every single one woman, was put in a jumpsuit, was put in
52:07
handcuffs, was booked like a normal person. His mug shot wasn't even taken
52:13
at the gael like with the normal you know, how tall are you?
52:16
You got your number or whatever in front of it. It wasn't like that.
52:20
They took him out in the hallway and his like dress clothes of the
52:23
court at the court and they just took him out in the hallway and took
52:25
his mug shot. So this is completely being treated as a he's like somebody
52:32
got the specials. Yeah. So upon his release, Paul went to live
52:37
on the Mozelle property in a little farmhouse located other because like we said,
52:40
it's over seventeen hundred acre or so, big big property. There was kennels,
52:45
there was there was at there was a main house, kennel's little farmhouse
52:49
like little everything out there. Arry continued to party and drink and he displayed
52:53
all of this on social media, despite being told by the judge, Yeah,
52:59
not to do all this stuff. You shouldn't be partying, you shouldn't
53:01
do anything. It was as if he just didn't care about what had happened
53:05
at all. He was still surrounded by friends and family out at the property
53:08
party, because the fact is is that all of these people, despite Paul
53:14
being a terrible human being, they all liked his money and his power.
53:19
On top of the partying and the social media and everything, Paul actually received
53:22
speeding tickets during the time. I mean not even like I mean he's just
53:25
like, fuck it, I'm a speed too. I don't care. Like
53:30
no, but well, we don't know, Stewart, they could have been
53:32
they just didn't check. But you know, like whenever you're doing you feel
53:36
like you're like maybe like your tail lights out, or you're like my inspection
53:40
stickers like a year overdue. I'm like I'm like I need Yes, I'm
53:45
like I need to well, it expired the month we had the bait the
53:50
baby, and so like things got forgotten and then continue. Yes, So
53:57
but like when you have something like small like that, you're like, I
53:59
need to bay the law, Like I I can't speed because I'm gonna get
54:01
in trouble for this inspection sticker. This guy's going to fucking court for murder
54:06
for like homicide or manslaughter or whatever. And he's just like, wow,
54:12
I'm speeding. I don't care because he's yeah, yeah, so he's not
54:17
lying low at all. Now, the friend group did break up after the
54:22
crash, like the six friends, you know, one would assume or think
54:25
that they would. Morgan was finally done with Paul at this point. She
54:30
decided to part ways with him and everything like that because he was a murder
54:35
and a ginger. Yes, mainly because he was a ginger though, you
54:38
think, apologies to our ginger listeners and still apologizing to anybody named Crispin out
54:46
there. That's not That was a harsh critique of the name Crispin last episode,
54:52
and most of it was cut out. It edited out that you guys
54:55
didn't hear too, because it just went on all on and on. So
55:01
anyway, So then also Anthony, who was best friends with Paul, he
55:06
did start distance, distancing himself, but not totally because he need a new
55:12
girlfriend. No, and no, he didn't go out there. He still
55:20
seems to like he still seems whenever you watch him in these interviews stuff.
55:22
I don't know if it's because Paul, I mean, spoiler alert, Paul
55:27
is murdered, but yeah, anyways, I mean, I don't know if
55:30
it's because of that, but he still kind of defends him, not not
55:34
in the drinking and the driving of the boat and everything like that and what
55:37
happened to Mallory. But he still says, oh, Paul wouldn't do this,
55:39
Paul wouldn't do that, Like the whole thing when when we covered last
55:43
episode with Gloria, Paul would do anything he wanted it to do and thought
55:46
he couldn't get away. So Paul, like how we talked about Paul was
55:51
rumored to have pushed Gloria down the steps, and he's like, Paul would
55:53
never do anything. I just get so angry when people say that about Paul.
55:58
It's like foot Paul, this Anthony guy. We don't believe Paul did
56:01
anthy We think many did it too. But yeah, all ain't no goddamn
56:06
saint. Yeah, but this Anthony guy, I don't get him. I
56:09
really don't have a hard time with him. I don't get him at all.
56:13
He's a difficult, get difficult character in this whole You killed my girlfriend,
56:19
But I love you man, love what he said. It's just so
56:24
weird. Anyways, So Paul seemed to show no remorse for what had happened
56:30
with Mallory, with hurting his friends, like he did anything like that.
56:34
He's just living his life, doing his thing, going back to the property,
56:37
going to hang out. I'm a four wheelers purple drank, purple drank.
56:44
I say that it work, and people look at me. I think
56:46
that's I think purple drink is like ni quill and alcohol, I thought,
56:52
Or is it my wrong? I'm not that cool anyways. I've been out
56:57
of the game for the game, like a hardcore just on like two Melatonin's
57:02
night, couple last room Jamison, couple shots of Jamison. I'm ready for
57:09
bed. Yeah. In the months after Paul's indictment, the Murdoch family went
57:15
through a bit of a hard time. Paul had his legal issues that were
57:21
ongoing. And on top of that, Oh Randolf the hundredth or whatever the
57:25
hell he is, Buster the brother, he got kicked out of law school
57:30
for cheating. I think it was plagiarism. Now the mounting pressure began to
57:36
show Crown. Yes, so the golden child is out, the only last
57:42
hope, the last William has cheated on Kate left the family for a stripper.
57:50
It's all has all hope has been lost. Now the two boys,
57:54
they're bringing shame on the family. Actually, I don't think it started with
58:00
them. No, they're just the most prominent open Yeah, they're the ones
58:06
that were around when Snapchat was available to act a fool. Now, the
58:09
mounting pressure began to show cracks and Alec and Maggie's marriage. You just called
58:15
him Alex Stewart. I can't even be with you anymore. This is worse
58:17
than the bathroom debuccle, is it? Yes, Alex, we call him
58:22
Alex. Maggie found out that Alex was behind on some of the bills,
58:27
which should not have been based on how much money the Murdochs had. Yeah,
58:31
they were rich, bitch. Rumor around town had it that she had
58:37
hired a forensic accountant to see where all the money was going. She was
58:42
also a rumor to have seen a divorce attorney looking into what her options were,
58:46
Like, I want to jump off the sinking ship. What are my
58:51
options? All boy and paying bills? Looks like the forensic accountants, two
58:54
boys or shit heads are going to get out of here. Although it was
58:58
partially her fault because apparently she just let them do whatever they wanted. So
59:00
yeah forr parenting choices, and I'm almost one hundred percent sure she was the
59:06
one that pushed old Sadderfield down, yea, Gloria. Yeah, so all
59:13
terrible Stewarts, they're all like they're all garbage. People now pile onto that
59:17
supposedly Alex's oxycode on pill addiction that the family had been dealing with for years.
59:24
I mean, it's nothing like Matthew Perry's though, so I mean,
59:29
or evidently Brittney Simpsons, Britney Simpsons, Jessica Jessica Spears. No, Jessica
59:37
Simpson, she did not have a pill problem. She had alcohol problems.
59:43
Well, you tell me you listen to that read, I mean, read
59:45
that bug path you know what? Fuck you Stewart. I do read,
59:50
But yes, I do listen to a lot of audio books because I drive
59:52
a lot. And then when I'm out and about cleaning the house because I
59:57
clean, unlike some people in this house else I clean, and I listen
1:00:00
to audio books. And I really want to listen to the Matthew Perry one
1:00:05
because I'm such a I was such a friends fan and everything so and it
1:00:10
was just like he was just very interesting. I mean, I'll be honest
1:00:14
with you. The book Matthew Perry is insufferable. He thinks he's God's gift
1:00:19
to like everything. I mean, let's push aside the addiction and everything like
1:00:22
that, just him talking. He just thought he was the best looking guy,
1:00:27
could get any woman, YadA YadA, YadA and everything that. But
1:00:31
was not his faulty else's fault. Yes, the whole book he blames everybody.
1:00:37
Could he be more annoying? And it was my and I found what
1:00:40
interesting was how he was what his level of addiction was during the seasons of
1:00:46
Friends, because you could tell that he gained and lost weight through the seasons,
1:00:52
but you didn't know. I mean, I didn't know why. I
1:00:53
mean I was young, I didn't know why he was doing it. But
1:00:55
now looking back, he's He explains where he was at in his addiction based
1:01:00
on the episode the Seasons of Friends. So anyways, I would if you're
1:01:06
a Friends fan, I would. It's a good book. It's not going
1:01:08
to make you like Matthew Perry or anything. But yeah, yeah, he's
1:01:15
got a little bit like full of himself. But my takeaway from the book
1:01:21
anyways, anyways, so Alex didn't have I don't think he was Matthew Perry
1:01:27
level pill popping well accordin to what you might thank all the money that disappeared,
1:01:31
he would be like way above him. He'd be doing like five thousand.
1:01:36
Yeah, someone one, some reporter like added up how much. Well,
1:01:38
we'll talk about this in the next episode. But the amount of money
1:01:43
that he was distilling from people could have bought enough oxycodon for like one hundred
1:01:49
and forty years for one person, but we don't know. Anyways, the
1:01:54
stresses were mounting in this Murdoch family. So Paul is scheduled for his first
1:01:59
hearing on the death of Mallory on June twenty twenty one, and it appears
1:02:04
there might finally be some justice in this case. But just three days before,
1:02:08
something that would shock America would happen. Yes, nine one one call
1:02:14
comes in from Alex Murdoch. Paul and Maggie had been shot dead at the
1:02:19
Moselle property. Now these deaths would start into motion the unraveling of the Murdoch
1:02:27
family. Well, dun dun dune, that's what they say. But I
1:02:31
think it was the boat accident they actually started it. Well, the boat
1:02:35
accident was that, but this is like puts them on another level. That's
1:02:38
because the boat accident, Okay, story. Whatever. Okay, if we're
1:02:44
gonna play this game, we're going back to Stephen Smith. You don't play
1:02:49
this game all the way back to the beginning now, because I was buried,
1:02:52
covered dead, all but all the way back to being beginning when Randolph
1:02:55
Murdoch sat on those uh train tracks and got himself killed. Nope, Okay,
1:03:01
I would have been coming anyways. That was the boat wreck that started
1:03:05
cause an issue. Yes, I know that, Stewart. I understand that.
1:03:07
I'm just saying. You're just saying the wrong thing. Okay, Well,
1:03:12
you didn't write the case, so you don't get in a pear.
1:03:13
I know. I saw the show. You watched the one episode that I
1:03:17
watched, the part of the episode that I had to watch, so I
1:03:22
could be anyways, Well, Stewart, do you have a y'all need Jesus?
1:03:24
Yeah? I got a goddamn y'all need. Oh my god, gosh,
1:03:27
darn y'all need Jesus. All right, Tonight's y'all need Jesus revolves around
1:03:34
one George Glenn Jones Okay born September twelveth nineteen thirty one died April twenty six,
1:03:40
twenty thirteen. Okay, he's a he was a young, up and
1:03:46
coming country star back in the day. Okay, you don't even know who
1:03:51
I'm talking about it he stopped loving her. Okay, I just want this
1:03:55
to be over. So let's go on. Now. One of the reasons
1:03:59
why my George Jones did he stop loving her because of a bathroom remodel.
1:04:03
He may have was so revered by the country music community. We're doing a
1:04:10
throwback evert evidently obviously, okay, just come on back to the way back
1:04:15
wind machine, all right, because George he sang how he lived, and
1:04:20
he lived what he's sang. Unlike Keith Urban or whatever country star you're gonna
1:04:26
do these days. Now, George Jones was they're not because he's a pass
1:04:34
He was a flash in the pan, like I said, when you thought
1:04:36
he was ut. No, he's still. He's passed married Nicole Kidman.
1:04:41
So we did something right. It's Alway's got money. He just sings.
1:04:45
Well, I mean, Nicole Kidman has probably more money than he does.
1:04:46
Yeah, so he sings as a hobby. Okay, come on. So
1:04:49
anyway, George Jones troubled soul with deep heart ache that you could hear through
1:04:57
his singing and songs on numerous occasions. His abuse issues had him standing on
1:05:02
the precipice between life and death. Over the years, he became known as
1:05:10
no Show Jones, missing fifty four shows in nineteen seventy nine alone. As
1:05:15
you can imagine, guys, these yonnie Jesus are not approved by me many
1:05:19
time. This is the one thing I let ste have Carr Blanche on and
1:05:24
as you can see, that was a mistake. Isn't Yes, No,
1:05:30
Because there's a lot of people know the story, and there's a lot of
1:05:33
people don't know the story. But thanks to some loving friends in the country
1:05:38
music community, specific Whale and Jennings Rest in peace, Jones was finally able
1:05:43
to overcome his demons and lead along and fulfill in life. However, the
1:05:48
most notorious George Jones drinking story involves the country music legend and a John dear
1:05:54
lanmar But what a lot of folks don't know is that George Jones chose this
1:06:00
low moving mode of transportation to procure alcohol more than once. Maybe Poule should
1:06:04
have done that. No, this is slow move, not fast. Now
1:06:09
I'm saying Poule should have friends have been the John Dara lawnmar Now. The
1:06:15
first and most well documented lawnmar incidents was the late sixties. George Sjones was
1:06:21
living eight miles outside of Beaumont, Texas. Beaumont to his then wife I'm
1:06:28
sure common name at the time, Shirley and Corley Jones, who was born
1:06:33
in Saratoga, Texas, just west and north of Beaumont, had already experienced
1:06:39
a few number one country hits, Stewart white lightning. She thinks I'll still
1:06:46
care. Okay, come on, what is the story still? Well?
1:06:50
Hang on, No, I'm not hanging on anymore. No one's hanging on
1:06:55
anymore. I'm literally the only person listening because I have to be here,
1:06:58
all right, George just a sex, sex fuelled his wayward ways. Was
1:07:03
alcohol right the second time? No, that was just making fun of the
1:07:06
West set it the first time. Annie was drinking so bad his wife Shirley
1:07:11
resorted to hiding all the keys to all the vehicles before she would leave so
1:07:15
George wouldn't dry out of the nearest liquor store in Bowmap. But that didn't
1:07:18
stop old George. After tearing the house apart looking for a set of keys,
1:07:23
George looked out the window to see a ride lawnmower sitting on the property,
1:07:28
and there was a gleaming glue that was a ten horsepower rotrier engine under
1:07:32
the seat, a key glistening in the ignition. George recalled in his autobiography,
1:07:39
