Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / Unimaginable Cruelty: 4-Year-Old Found Weighing Only 21 Pounds | Murder of Isaiah Dionne
Transcript
- 0:02I still have hope in humanity, but this case, this case makes
- 0:08it really hard. Let's dig in.
- 0:23This video contains mature themes and discussions intended
- 0:26only for adult audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
- 0:33Hello there my friend and welcome back to another true
- 0:36crime discussion with me. My name is Gavin and on this
- 0:41channel we like to cut through the fluff and sensationalism in
- 0:44true crime and get right down to the nitty gritty.
- 0:46If that is your thing then you have found the right place and
- 0:50I'm glad you did. Tonight we are going to be
- 0:55discussing the murder of of this little boy.
- 1:02His name is Isaiah Dion. He was found emaciated and dead
- 1:12in the home of his mother and stepfather just last month.
- 1:17This is in South Carolina. It I, I want you guys to buckle
- 1:22in because the details of this case, which we're not going to
- 1:29get into tons of details today, guys, because I just can't do
- 1:32it. But we're going to read a couple
- 1:34of articles. We're going to see some, some
- 1:37news clips. I'm going to read from his
- 1:40obituary. I don't know what happened to
- 1:45this young man, but I mean for I'm like, I'm really, I'm really
- 1:54sad about this one. If you, if you were a person
- 1:59like me who had a childhood where you could be a child and
- 2:04you had parents who loved. You and cared.
- 2:06For you loved each other, loved your siblings, grandparents that
- 2:12were involved then just if you pray, just thank God that you
- 2:19had that or just put gratitude and thankfulness out into the
- 2:25universe. If you don't, because every once
- 2:30in a while these are the kinds of stories that we find and and
- 2:34they're just, they're just heartbreaking.
- 2:39So let's get into this real quick.
- 2:43I'm going to, I'm going to bring up an article from from Fitz
- 2:51News. OK, Do you guys remember Fitz
- 2:53News? I mean, during the Micah Miller
- 2:55case, they did a lot of terrific coverage.
- 3:01This is a, this is an article from the 20th, but it, it, it
- 3:07will bring us up to date on what the case is.
- 3:10And then we will get into the actual charges, the arrest
- 3:14warrants. And after that, I think we will
- 3:18get into what has just happened in the last few days.
- 3:22OK, so SLED, this is, I think SLED is the South Carolina Law
- 3:30Enforcement Division. Is that what it is?
- 3:32Yeah. OK.
- 3:33SLED charges state trooper, wife with child neglect, that these
- 3:37were the first charges. Obviously, charges have have
- 3:40been amended since. OK.
- 3:42But as of last month, so that we can bring ourselves up to date
- 3:45on this, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, SLED has
- 3:50charged Joshua Emanuel. Let me bring up Lamar Latimer,
- 3:56age 30. Here's Mr. Latimer here and
- 4:00Destiny Shay Dion, 24, here is Miss Dion here of Walhalla, SC
- 4:11with two counts each of unlawful conduct toward a child.
- 4:15The arrests were made on Friday, September 19th, 2025 following
- 4:21an investigation requested by the Oconee County.
- 4:24Sheriff's Office. According to SLED, both Latimer
- 4:29and Dion were booked into the Oconee County Detention Center.
- 4:33Their cases will be prosecuted by the office of the South
- 4:36Carolina's 10th Circuit Solicitor Micah Black.
- 4:42Officials confirmed Oconee County Emergency services were
- 4:45dispatched to a residence on Forest Acres Circle near
- 4:49Walhalla at approximately 6:20 AM Eastern Daylight Time for a
- 4:54report of a cardiac arrest patient.
- 4:59This is the patient. Look at those little boots.
- 5:05Aren't little kids, Just aren't they just wonderful?
- 5:09Look at that little guy. Oh my goodness.
- 5:13A short time later, the Oconee County Coroner's Office was
- 5:16called to the scene. He only called a corner if there
- 5:20is a death. Authorities have not released
- 5:23additional details about the circumstances that led to their
- 5:26response or the identity of the patient.
- 5:31This is back in on the 20th, of course, of last month.
- 5:34Latimer is employed as a trooper with the South Carolina Highway
- 5:37Patrol Trooper assigned to Troop 3, which covers Anderson,
- 5:44Greenville, Ockney, Pickens, and Spartanburg counties.
- 5:48According to a wedding website, Latimer and Dionne were married
- 5:51on May 11th, 2024. Unlawful conduct toward a child
- 5:56is defied, defined under South Carolina law as behavior where a
- 6:02parent, guardian, or responsible adult places a child at
- 6:06unreasonable risk of harm or willfully fails to provide
- 6:09adequate care. It is a felony offense
- 6:12punishable by up to 10 years in prison per count.
- 6:21Now, I, I believe I have other pictures of this is this is
- 6:27Destiny Dion on the Facebook page on Facebook, she goes by
- 6:32Destiny Latimer. Here is the trooper, Mr.
- 6:37Latimer's trooper photo. And but I'd rather look at them
- 6:43like this and like this. No other details were provided
- 6:50in the affidavits, although it's worth noting the SLED Special
- 6:54Victims Unit agent who attested to the veracity of the
- 6:58allegations, Brianna Deham of Anderson, SC, is one of the
- 7:02agency's child fatality investigators.
- 7:05This this statute under which Latimer and Dion have been
- 7:09charged, is intentionally broad, allowing prosecutors to pursue
- 7:13cases ranging from extreme neglect to situations where a
- 7:16caregiver knowingly allows a child to be exposed to dangerous
- 7:20conditions. I would add that I'm sure they
- 7:24knew that they were going to be murder charges or they they
- 7:27suspected it at least. And so getting them on this
- 7:31charge would get them in jail and get the process going.
- 7:36Latimer and Dion remain in custody at the Oconee County
- 7:39Detention Center. As with anyone accused of
- 7:41committing any crime, they are considered innocent until proven
- 7:44guilty by our criminal justice system, or until such time as
- 7:47they may wish to enter some sort of allocution in connection with
- 7:52a plea agreement with prosecutors related to any of
- 7:55the charges filed against them. Allocution.
- 7:59Wow, this. I'm not going to have the best
- 8:01definition here, but basically a statement that they're going
- 8:05that they would make in connection with the plea
- 8:07agreement and that that was the that was the reporting on the
- 8:1320th. OK, let me let me bring up the
- 8:21website here real quick because I've bring this up.
- 8:27You know what I forgot to do? I forgot to resize this so it'll
- 8:29squeeze in. Let's do that.
- 8:32OK, so little Isaiah. Isaiah Joseph Dionne was born
- 8:39February 5th, 2021, died September 19th, 2025 in
- 8:43Walhalla, SC Isaiah was born February 5th, 2021.
- 8:49He was the most beautiful baby boy.
- 8:51As Isaiah grew, so did his personality.
- 8:54Knowing him was such an amazing experience.
- 8:56He was always happy. Isaiah's smile could light up a
- 9:00room and his laugh would warm your heart.
- 9:03The hard thing that I find about reading this, let's bring up
- 9:08another picture of little Isaiah, is that when he was
- 9:11found? Oh, I'm, I'm going to get to it,
- 9:13but I don't know if nobody had seen him in a while or
- 9:18something. I have no idea, but continuing
- 9:23on the obituary, Isaiah loved cooking.
- 9:25It was one of his favorite things to do.
- 9:27His favorite food was pizza because he had good taste,
- 9:30because pizza is amazing. He loved animals, especially
- 9:34little critters he could pick up and look at.
- 9:38Isaiah loved to play and be outside.
- 9:41He loved to swing, ride his power wheel and pick roses to
- 9:45throw at people, which he found to be so funny.
- 9:48Isaiah was the most precious, loving and caring child.
- 9:51He is now in the arms of Jesus and surrounded by so many loved
- 9:55ones. Words cannot express how loved
- 9:58he was and how much he will be missed.
- 10:01Rest in peace, our little buddy. And then it says in lieu of
- 10:04flowers, the family asks that you donate a small stuffed
- 10:06animal or a small toy in Isaiah's name to a Children's
- 10:10Hospital of your choice. Then they had a private ah,
- 10:12brought up the wrong one. What's going on?
- 10:16Oh, brought up the wrong one. Sorry about that.
- 10:18Then they say that there's going to be a privately held funeral.
- 10:23So what begs the question for me is, with the situation where a
- 10:31four year old dies of cardiac arrest, did nobody see what was
- 10:40going on? Did nobody see this?
- 10:44It's so difficult to even comprehend.
- 10:48OK, let me bring you guys back over to OK.
- 10:55This is an article from Law and Crime and we're going to watch a
- 11:03video. But similar to starving children
- 11:08in Africa, 4 year old boy dies weighing just 21 lbs after being
- 11:13forced to drink water out of the toilet, sleep in closet, cops
- 11:17say. Man, this gets my blood boiling.
- 11:23Just boiling. Just boiling I don't need.
- 11:33I looked it up. So the average weight for a four
- 11:37year old boy in America in in the United States of America is
- 11:41about 40 lbs. Now, it's going to depend on
- 11:44lots of things. How tall was he?
- 11:47Those kinds of things, right? But 21 lbs is extremely light.
- 11:54We're going to watch a report on this from Fox Carolina, OK.
- 11:59Investigators unveiled graphic details about the horrific abuse
- 12:03that led to the death of four year old South Carolina boy at
- 12:06the hands of his mother and her husband who is a police officer.
- 12:10According to cops, Joshua Emmanuel Lamar Latimer, again,
- 12:15there he is age 30. There he was as a state trooper.
- 12:20There he is now. And destiny Shay Dion, age 24,
- 12:28This is her booking shot. There she is on Facebook.
- 12:36I prefer to look at her like that.
- 12:38Stand accused of homicide by child abuse and unlawful conduct
- 12:42toward a child in the death of Isaiah Dion, the South Carolina
- 12:48Law Enforcement Division said. By the way, I found this cute
- 12:51little photo. Look at him.
- 12:55Look at that little guy. He's born healthy.
- 12:57He had every, he should have had every chance and every
- 13:01opportunity to grow up to be, to be a man.
- 13:07And he was, he was. Look at him.
- 13:09Just look at him. Such a sweet little boy.
- 13:19I love that picture. Look at his boots.
- 13:23He's got some boots and in these pictures he looks healthy to me
- 13:32but OK. Deputies of with the Oconee
- 13:37County Sheriff's Office responded to a home on Forest
- 13:39Acres Circle in Walhalla, which is roughly 45 miles West of
- 13:42Greenville, in September. Cops allegedly found the boy.
- 13:47Dead. Excuse me?
- 13:50Inside the home, the boy appeared to be underweight and
- 13:52malnourished, weighing just £21.00, police say.
- 13:56Isaiah's ribs were very visible and his eyes were sunken into
- 13:59his head. And arrest warrant states both
- 14:02suspects are in the Oconee County Jail without bond.
- 14:05Latimer was a trooper with the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
- 14:07He was let go after his arrest. OK, but he's back in jail
- 14:15without bond. Local Fox affiliate WHNS
- 14:18reported that from Dion's bond hearing Thursday, in which
- 14:21prosecutors laid out additional allegations. 10th Circuit, We're
- 14:25going to watch a little bit of this.
- 14:26Solicitor Micah Black revealed some of the observations of
- 14:29first responders. He was basically skin and bones,
- 14:32for lack of a better word. Black reportedly said.
- 14:35One of the EMS personnel basically described it as
- 14:38similar to something you'd see on TV to starving children in
- 14:41Africa. The boy was also forced to sleep
- 14:45on a blanket inside of a bed instead of a bed, and the
- 14:49curtains to his room were stapled shut, the cops said.
- 14:52Investigators believe the suspects.
- 14:55Allegedly locked Isaiah in the closet and forced him to drink
- 14:58water from the toilet. WHNS reports that the boy lived
- 15:03with his maternal grandmother for the first two years of.
- 15:05His life but moved in with his mother in Latimer when the
- 15:09couple started dating. After Isaiah moved in with them,
- 15:13he was allegedly treated differently than his younger
- 15:16sibling, who appeared to be fine.
- 15:19He didn't see a doctor over a span of two years, cops say.
- 15:22Neighbors told cops when they look, when they took food to the
- 15:26family, they would allegedly witness Isaiah eat adult sized
- 15:30meals, which they found odd. The judge denied bond and
- 15:34ordered Dionne to remain in jail.
- 15:37If convicted, the suspects will face between 20 years and life
- 15:41behind bars. Isaiah's obituary called.
- 15:44Him the most. Beautiful baby boy, which we
- 15:46just read. As Isaiah grew, so did his
- 15:49personality. Knowing him was such an amazing
- 15:52experience. He was always happy.
- 15:54I mean, why? Why, why?
- 16:00Oh my goodness, that's the question.
- 16:01Why? Why was he with his maternal
- 16:05grandmother, which I think was a great idea for the first two
- 16:09years of his life? And why?
- 16:18Why was he given back to his mother?
- 16:22This just kills me. Let's see what you guys are
- 16:24saying. Let's bring up little.
- 16:26I like this little Spidey one with the with the smile.
- 16:35OK, so use GF in your comment. So I will be able to see it, Kel
- 16:40says. See if I can get this to come
- 16:43up. Thank you for covering this one.
- 16:47It is so it. This is a hard one.
- 16:49But awareness, you're right, Kel, we need to be aware of this
- 16:53stuff. Like if you see something, say
- 16:54something. If you suspect you saw
- 16:56something, say something. This is like if the neighbor saw
- 17:01that he was eating too much food and he's a little emaciated
- 17:04little boy, Say something. I I can understand.
- 17:10Like, if just to, I guess, play devil's advocate here, just
- 17:15because I'm a professional quibbler, we're quibbling here.
- 17:20If you know that that guy is a state trooper, is that some sort
- 17:27of incentive to not say anything because you don't want to have
- 17:30any type of retaliation or something like that?
- 17:33Is that possible? But they're seeing a little boy
- 17:37eating adult sized meals because he is so hungry.
- 17:44Goodness. Just so hard.
- 17:52It's pronounced Oconee. OK, Sorry.
- 17:54Thank you very much. Oconee, not Oconee.
- 17:58Oconee. I will try to remember that.
- 18:00Thank you very much. See if there are any other, I
- 18:06think you guys are are not. I think you.
- 18:11Guys are as shocked as I am at this, Patty says this is worse
- 18:15than horrible. It makes me sad and angry that
- 18:17people would do that to a young child.
- 18:19Yeah. The fact that that, yeah, I
- 18:24can't say it any better. Sand baby stitches, Gavin,
- 18:28because it's all about reunification and not the good
- 18:31of the child. It you're right.
- 18:33I mean, see the the conservative side of me goes, well, we don't
- 18:40want to give government too much power because with too much
- 18:43power comes the abuse of too much power.
- 18:47You know, Exhibit A, Alan Greenberg, that's a huge abuse
- 18:52of power from almost every level of state government.
- 18:57But at the same. Time.
- 18:59Why is reunification the the number one priority?
- 19:05Why isn't the welfare of the child the number one priority?
- 19:13I just. I don't know.
- 19:17Yeah. Lynn's asking a a good question
- 19:19that crossed my mind, too. What happened to the
- 19:21grandmother? Did she not see him after that?
- 19:24That's my how? How long does it take for a
- 19:30young boy to lose half his body mass?
- 19:33Assuming he was about a 40 LB boy, how was nobody noticing
- 19:41this? He wouldn't be going to school
- 19:43at age 4. He could be going to preschool,
- 19:45but probably not. I mean, they would be hiding
- 19:48this. I remember the Kimberly Sullivan
- 19:52case, right? So many people didn't even know
- 19:54that there was her son, her stepson on the second floor of
- 19:59the house. Right when when the school
- 20:03started complaining, he was taken out of school.
- 20:06So yeah. Shay is saying this is killing
- 20:12me. God bless that precious child
- 20:14indeed. Oh, just ducky.
- 20:18I'm going to read this one because that's a good comment.
- 20:21I think they might think the opposite of that.
- 20:23He's a police officer. He'd never do anything to a
- 20:25child. That's maybe how they look at
- 20:27the situation. Yeah, That that could be.
- 20:29That was a great comment. One man's trash.
- 20:32Gavin was the other child from this relationship.
- 20:34I, I believe so going, I, I don't know for sure, but going
- 20:40through Destiny Dion's Facebook page, it appeared so that the
- 20:48younger brother is the natural born child of of both Destiny
- 20:57Dion and Josh Latimer. And again, Destiny Dionne, who
- 21:03was charged as Destiny Dionne, goes by Destiny Latimer on
- 21:06Facebook. Yeah.
- 21:11This is just horrible. I've never understood the
- 21:13reunification standards. I I don't either.
- 21:16And it's a tightrope, right? This is a hard question.
- 21:19This is a hard question. But but when we get to cases
- 21:23like this where a little 4 year old boy man has lost his life.
- 21:32No, and it's easy to say in hindsight that he should have
- 21:38been he should have been taken away from him.
- 21:41OK, so let's let's go back over here.
- 21:45This is this is from the 20th. It's the it's the media release
- 21:51that they had been arrested. The.
- 21:55I think the most important part here though.
- 21:57Let me see if I can maybe pull this back just a little bit so
- 22:01y'all can see all of it. This is the arrest warrant for
- 22:07Who is this for? For Mr. Latimer, the the
- 22:15defense. I'm sorry.
- 22:18The description of the offense. Children unlawfully place a
- 22:22child at risk or of cause. Risk of or cause harm or
- 22:27willingly abandoned the child. I further state that there is
- 22:31probable cause to believe that the defendant named above did
- 22:34commit the crime set forth and that probable cause is based on
- 22:38the following facts that on September 19th, 2025 in the
- 22:42County of Oconee, South Carolina.
- 22:44Thank you very much for that. Defendant Latimer did place a
- 22:49minor child unreasonable risk of harm.
- 22:51Defendant had custody and or charge of the minor child, 4
- 22:55year old male and is the victim's let's say stepfather.
- 22:59The incident occurred at that house investigated by SLED.
- 23:02So it doesn't really tell us tons other than the offenses
- 23:07that they unlawfully placed a child at risk of or caused harm
- 23:12or willfully abandoned the child.
- 23:16The arrest warrant for Miss Dionne Destiny Shay Dionne says
- 23:22the exact same thing. 5 foot 6176 and then he was 63250.
- 23:30So it seems like both of them had plenty of plenty of food to
- 23:34eat, but but not enough to give to their child.
- 23:43I guess. Let's see.
- 23:47This is another one. What is this one, Sam?
- 23:51So is it? Oh, it's two counts, so I don't
- 23:57know, maybe did they counter? Wow.
- 24:01Is this a different 100335 00332?
- 24:09Yeah. So she must have gotten 2 counts
- 24:10for both of the children. So not a lot in there.
- 24:16Here's another 1336. So he got 2 counts as well.
- 24:26So probably for the second child, I think is what what I'm
- 24:29reading there. So both of them arrested on 2
- 24:32counts. All right, let's go over here.
- 24:38I put my sources down below. By the way, you can you can get
- 24:42these documents. At Sled's website, you can read
- 24:46the two articles. I've linked them below, and then
- 24:49I've linked to this as well. Let me just get this going.
- 24:53Hopefully this works. Give me a second.
- 24:57Yeah, here we go on. Fox Carolina News here this
- 25:00evening, horrifying new details of what investigators say
- 25:02toddler went through before dying at the hands of his mother
- 25:06and her husband. I do want to warn you, details
- 25:08of the story are hard to hear. Joshua Lattimer, Destiny Dion
- 25:12are charged with homicide by child abuse and unlawful conduct
- 25:15towards a child. Lattimer was a trooper with
- 25:18South Carolina's Highway Patrol and back in September 1st
- 25:20responders were called to a home on Forest Acres Circle near
- 25:23Walhalla for report of cardiac arrest.
- 25:26They found a four year old boy named Isaiah Dion unconscious,
- 25:29underweight and malnourished. The Fox Guys Brooklyn Cromer has
- 25:32new details about what happened inside.
- 25:36Destiny Dion asked to be let out of jail.
- 25:38Let. Me pause here for a second.
- 25:41Brookley Brookley Cromer here is a reporter that I've spoken with
- 25:47at length on the Todd Colehap case.
- 25:52This is like I guess apropos of nothing but.
- 25:57She and I after after talking a couple times, writing each other
- 26:03back and forth a couple times, well.
- 26:08I guess it doesn't matter, but I kind of believe that maybe Caleb
- 26:12Brown was part of Todd Colep's, that she was more of a partner
- 26:19to Colep than a victim. But that's neither here nor
- 26:22there. Here we go.
- 26:23Her trial, but the judge said the allegations were too
- 26:26horrific and denied her bond. During the hearing, the state
- 26:30laid out disturbing details about the conditions 4 year old
- 26:33Isaiah Dion had been living in after his stepfather Joshua
- 26:37Latimer called 911 and reported him unresponsive.
- 26:41Inside his room, investigators found no bed or mattress, just a
- 26:45blanket on the floor. The curtains were stapled shut
- 26:48in. A child proof doorknob on the
- 26:49closet LED them to believe he had been locked inside.
- 26:53First responders described him as skin and bones, cold to the
- 26:56touch and severely malnourished. Investigators learned he wasn't
- 27:00allowed to have water after 6:00 PM and had been caught drinking
- 27:04toilet water. Neighbors told investigators
- 27:06they noticed Isaiah had bruises and swollen eyes, but his
- 27:09parents told them his two year old sibling had bullied him.
- 27:12Neighbors also said they noticed odd behavior.
- 27:15He was basically skin and bones, for lack of a better word.
- 27:19One of the EMS personnel basically described it as the
- 27:26child being emaciated, and he described it when he was
- 27:30interviewed by by SLED that it was similar to something she
- 27:35would see on TV to starving children in Africa.
- 27:38The defense pointed out that Dionne had no prior convictions
- 27:41and said while the allegations are awful, there's nothing to
- 27:44indicate she would be a danger to the community.
- 27:47The purpose of a volunteering is to determine whether or not Miss
- 27:50Dionne is a danger to the community or a flight risk.
- 27:53And while the allegations are awful, they are merely
- 27:58allegations at this point, and there is nothing about them that
- 28:02would indicate that she's a danger to the community at
- 28:04large. The state said Isaiah's 2 year
- 28:08old sibling, who also lived in the home, appeared healthy and
- 28:11is now in foster care. Isaiah's stepfather, Joshua
- 28:15Latimer, will have a bond reduction hearing at a later
- 28:17date. Dionne remains locked up here in
- 28:20Oconee County, Brooklyn. Cromer, Fox.
- 28:22Carolina News. Oconee County.
- 28:28So yeah, Miss Destiny Dion did not get bail, and Mr. Latimer's
- 28:37bail hearing is at a later time. So for now, they remain in jail.
- 28:44And I mean, I don't know, it's such a sad case.
- 28:49My goodness. So sad that, I mean, I just, I
- 28:56just honestly don't know what to do about, about it.
- 29:01I just, I just don't know. Let's see what Tanya has to say
- 29:07now. Tanya is one of our one of our
- 29:10legal experts here in the live chat.
- 29:14Gavin. States tend to prioritize
- 29:16reunification because the system is overflowing with children.
- 29:20They try to mend families, to keep kids out of the system.
- 29:24Sad but reality that they are often forgotten.
- 29:30Yeah. Kimberly and I have talked
- 29:32about, yeah, here's here's another hard part of the system,
- 29:37right. And this is a bit of a
- 29:41confession, but Kimberly and I have talked about, you know,
- 29:43would we be good foster parents? Would we be able to care for
- 29:47kids that aren't our own? And would we be able to deal
- 29:50with all of the baggage that comes along with, with kids that
- 29:55have been in the system? Would and does that put into
- 29:58jeopardy our own children's happiness and safety?
- 30:02And we tried a couple of times they were, they were short term
- 30:09and it wasn't through the foster system.
- 30:11But, but anyway, we, we had, we had a couple of kiddos that,
- 30:17that we had here at the house. 1 was just a newborn baby at the
- 30:20time. And yeah, there was, you know,
- 30:26older. And so that was one experience
- 30:30that we had and the, just the, the, everything, all the people
- 30:33coming to the house, all the visitation, all of the
- 30:38logistics, just, we just were not comfortable with all of that
- 30:44around our children. And you know, we did it another
- 30:49time with a teenager, a girl who by the way, both of those kiddos
- 30:57that I just talked about and the teenage girl, we love these
- 31:01kids. We see them still.
- 31:06But anyway, we did it with a teenager and just the well, we
- 31:16felt like our house was being cased that that's what it boiled
- 31:20down to by, by people in her circle.
- 31:25So, yeah, we just weren't willing to to participate
- 31:31anymore. And, and I'm really sorry that
- 31:34that is the case. I mean, I, I wish that I wish
- 31:38that there were more people that could be good Foster and good
- 31:42adoptive parents to these kids because I'd like to scoop them
- 31:48up right now, but I'm afraid of what, what that would mean for
- 31:57my family. Tanya also says it also does not
- 32:00take long at all for a child that age to lose that much
- 32:02weight. When my youngest got a tummy
- 32:04bug, she lost 3 lbs in two days. Yeah.
- 32:06Good point. Good point.
- 32:10Let's see, Gavin, you would. If you could even give half the
- 32:16love you give your own, it would be a happy child.
- 32:18Yeah. The problem, The problem is all
- 32:20the other baggage. Lynn Taylor.
- 32:24OK, Lynn. Lynn is a better person than me.
- 32:27Lynn. Thank you.
- 32:29Foster 2 and adopted both. Definitely an involved process.
- 32:33I am so happy for you and for your two kiddos.
- 32:38It's amazing, Cassie says. You're such a kind and loving
- 32:41person. Well, don't, don't tell me too
- 32:43often, OK? I, I tend to get a little
- 32:46egotistical, but I totally understand where you're coming
- 32:49from. Being a foster parent is not
- 32:50easy. We have fam, we have friends
- 32:53that we go to church with who I, I think I've shared this before,
- 32:57actually multiple friends that went through the whole process
- 33:02of fostering to adoption. And I, I was just in awe, just
- 33:07in. Awe.
- 33:09At at them and their kids, they were, they were just terrific.
- 33:18OK, I don't think there's anything else about this case
- 33:21that that I can share with you that we really know quite yet.
- 33:26I don't think that we know the manner of death yet.
- 33:29I don't. Well, we know the manner of
- 33:31death. I don't think we know the cause
- 33:32of death yet. I don't think we will know next
- 33:37steps until the next bond hearing for Mr. Latimer.
- 33:42But yeah, that is the story of Isaiah Dion.
- 33:47Now, I'm more than what I mean, we got plenty of time.
- 33:49We've only been at this half hour.
- 33:51If you guys want to do an AMA or you want to ask any questions or
- 33:55anything like that, I will stick around.
- 33:59And yeah, be happy to to let me go through a couple other
- 34:06comments while while you guys come up with anything that you
- 34:08may want to discuss. One man's trash takes a special
- 34:10family to deal with what goes on in some foster situations.
- 34:17Just ducking. My neighbor raised 10 foster
- 34:18kids over the years. Not all at once.
- 34:25Let's see what is. I don't understand that word.
- 34:32Tanya Stud Foos What is that word?
- 34:38I need to look up that word. It doesn't know that word.
- 34:56I don't know what that word is. So many court cases.
- 35:01My grandparents were foster parents.
- 35:06Is it studied? Is that what that might be
- 35:08trying to say? Yeah.
- 35:16Sand, baby stitches. Has there been an update on the
- 35:18Nova Scotia brother and sister missing?
- 35:22No. Jack and Lily.
- 35:23I have not seen anything lately. I know that there was something
- 35:26that I missed while I was in California.
- 35:33Actually. Here's a let's bring you over
- 35:35here. This from three days ago.
- 35:39Two people who live. Near Lily and Jack Sullivan's
- 35:42home told police they heard a vehicle coming and going in the
- 35:45middle of the night just hours before the Nova Scotia children
- 35:47were reported missing, court documents show.
- 35:50Hmm, let's see. However, RCMP confirmed Monday a
- 35:56thorough review of surveillance footage from the Garlic Rd. area
- 36:00of Pictou County found no evidence of any vehicle activity
- 36:03at the time. No driver has been identified in
- 36:06the presence of a vehicle has not been substantiated as a key
- 36:09element of the investigation, RCMP communications advisor
- 36:13Allison Gerard wrote in an e-mail to CBC.
- 36:16Gerard said the witnesses reported hearing a vehicle but
- 36:19couldn't confirm seeing one. The new details from witnesses
- 36:22are laid out in redacted records that were previously released in
- 36:25August at the request of CBC News, The Canadian Press and The
- 36:30Globe and Mail. On Friday, new details of the
- 36:33case were released after CBC News fought to have some
- 36:35redactions lifted. The documents contain court
- 36:39applications filed by investigation investigators for
- 36:41permission to conduct searches for phone records, banking
- 36:45records and video related to the case.
- 36:47They include unproven statements made by police.
- 36:51Let's see, on May 9th, 2 constables had a conversation
- 36:58with Brad Wong who lives near the home.
- 37:02He told them he heard a loud vehicle coming and going from
- 37:05that area in the early morning hours of May 2nd.
- 37:08He said his residence is at an elevated position from Daniel's
- 37:11residence and he could see vehicle lights over the
- 37:13treetops. The RCMP, Let's see.
- 37:17RCMP Corporal Charlene Curl said in her written response to the
- 37:21court. He said the vehicle left three
- 37:23or four times after midnight and into the early hours of the
- 37:26morning. He said the vehicle would drive
- 37:27off in the distance and he could hear it stop and then return.
- 37:31He said it remained in earshot the entire time.
- 37:37On May 17th, the constable took a statement from Justin Smith,
- 37:40who also lives in the area. Smith said he was awake and on
- 37:43Facebook during the early morning hours of May 2nd.
- 37:46Around 1:30 AM, he heard a car on the Highway 289 turn around
- 37:50by the railroad tracks area or near the area of Garlic Road and
- 37:54Lansdowne Station Road. That intersection is near the
- 37:57home where the children went missing.
- 37:59Give me a second. It made noise then went quiet.
- 38:07The vehicle was quiet for about two minutes, then drove towards
- 38:10Lehrig Rd. The RCMP member, Rd.
- 38:13Justin Smith, later spoke with Brad Wong, who informed him
- 38:17Daniel's vehicle came and went 5 or 6 times that night.
- 38:21Wong said the car Smith heard was Daniel, so the allegation is
- 38:26Daniel left 5 or 6 times in the night.
- 38:29The records detail Martel's account of the evening before
- 38:32the children were reported missing.
- 38:34He told police he went to bed fairly early and didn't wake up
- 38:37until it was light the next morning.
- 38:39That. This is the.
- 38:40Stepfather the document said Brooks Murray told police she
- 38:43put Lily and Jack to bed first, then their one year old daughter
- 38:46and then went to bed herself around 9.
- 38:49She said Martel stayed up. Oh my goodness, guys.
- 38:55I took a nap today. I need to not do that.
- 38:58But I'm actually also kind of low energy right now.
- 39:04You guys know that I've just I've decided I don't like fat
- 39:06Gavin anymore. I don't want, I want fit Gavin.
- 39:09And so I have been on a very strict daily fast and a diet of
- 39:17only whole good foods for about, well, a little over a month.
- 39:22But my daily intake right now is averaging about 925 calories and
- 39:30I'm adding gym time to it. So I'm using up all of the
- 39:36energy that I have and I'm requiring myself to take a nap
- 39:40every once in a while too. So sorry for the yawns.
- 39:44That is the reason. She said Martel stayed up and
- 39:50was going to clean the house for her but it wasn't clean when she
- 39:52got up so she doesn't know what he did.
- 39:56Malia said she was not woken up throughout the night and does
- 39:59not know when Daniel came to bed, the document said.
- 40:04In a phone interview Friday, Martel said no one from the
- 40:06family left the property that night and they.
- 40:10Did not have any visitors. He said the only vehicle that
- 40:13left the yard was on the morning the children went missing when
- 40:16he took Brooke Murray Brooks SUV to look for the children.
- 40:20It's not loud by any stretch of the imagination, he said.
- 40:23Martel said the RCMP never asked him about the vehicle coming and
- 40:26going. I know the investigators work
- 40:29hard, said Martel. They're exploring every lead.
- 40:32Brooks Murray has not responded to interview requests, and
- 40:35investigators comment in the same document said that as of
- 40:39July 16th, the children's disappearance was not believed
- 40:42to be criminal in nature. The RCMP declined a request for
- 40:47an interview Friday, but confirmed some additional
- 40:49details about the investigation by e-mail on Monday.
- 40:52The records also show that police interviewed one of Brooks
- 40:55Murray's relatives, Darren Gettys.
- 40:59That's that's Mr. Gettys right there.
- 41:02Gettys is believed to appeared on a YouTube true crime show,
- 41:05It's a Criming Shame under the pseudonym Durwood O'Grady, where
- 41:09he put forward a theory that Malia put the children in a
- 41:12vehicle and sent them away before reporting them missing.
- 41:15It said. Gettys noted his comments could
- 41:17be wrong, could be speculation. Oh yeah, it probably is.
- 41:23Darren Gettys has suggested in social media posts that Malia
- 41:26may have been involved in their disappearance, but this is his
- 41:29theory. He also suggests he might know
- 41:31the location of the children and RCMP investigator wrote on May
- 41:3530th, 2 RCMP members. Oh my goodness.
- 41:41Maybe I should have a few more calories in the day now, but I'm
- 41:46I'm following a program I'm under.
- 41:48Yeah, I'm good met with Gettys, told them he spoke with Martel a
- 41:54few weeks after the kids went missing and also spoke with
- 41:57Patti Pearson, Brooke Murray's Brooks Murray's grandmother,
- 41:59about the investigation. The constable said Gettys was
- 42:02confrontational and evasive to questions asked of him and
- 42:07wanted the police to provide him with information about the
- 42:09investigation. The document said he became
- 42:12upset when his questions were not answered.
- 42:14On June 26th, Brooks Murray gave police a video recording of a
- 42:17phone conversation between Pearson and Gettys, who is
- 42:20Pearson's first cousin. The conversation was recorded on
- 42:24the evening of June 21st, and it's not clear if Gettys knew he
- 42:29was being recorded, but there appeared to be an expectation of
- 42:32privacy, the document said. Not good.
- 42:34It's not clear from the records exactly what Pearson and Gettys
- 42:37said during the conversation. The RCMP told CBC News on Monday
- 42:41that they recorded statements that the recorded statements
- 42:44were reviewed to determine relevance and credibility.
- 42:48CBC News interviewed Getty's on July 4th and he shared similar
- 42:51theories, however, the information could not be
- 42:53verified. I think that's about it as far
- 42:58as the update on Jack and Lily. Thanks for asking that question,
- 43:05Robin Asking how do you know when it's a dad joke?
- 43:08If I say the joke, it's a dad joke for sure.
- 43:12Shay says. Thanks for covering the
- 43:14heartbreaking. Cases.
- 43:15You got it. Yeah, it must must have been
- 43:19studied. You're right.
- 43:21Yep. It's like that's a word that I
- 43:24don't understand. I should.
- 43:28Do I know anything about the Kyron Horman case?
- 43:32I don't. Let's.
- 43:41This is from 2022. seven-year old little boy.
- 43:46Oh, I don't know if I can take it tonight.
- 43:47One man's trash. But no, I do not.
- 43:51I do not. Robin says I have to have a
- 43:55snack with my nap. Yeah, no surprise here.
- 44:01Yeah. Yeah.
- 44:03It's less than 1000 calories a day for the last four weeks as
- 44:09of Saturday. So yeah.
- 44:12And I'm back in the gym. I haven't been in the gym in a
- 44:14way too long. It's almost like I forgot how to
- 44:18work out Autumn 18 months. Good on you.
- 44:25Autumn is one of our amazing moderators.
- 44:28By the way, all of our moderators are volunteers.
- 44:31Guys, If you go over to gavinfish.com, which is the meal
- 44:35website and click on support me, scroll on down to the bottom.
- 44:41There all the different ways that you can support me.
- 44:44The newest one, by the way, is the PO Box.
- 44:48I'm really hoping that people will want to anonymously send me
- 44:53tips. And that's really the reason for
- 44:56it. But if you go down to the
- 44:57bottom, you can buy Autumn a coffee.
- 45:01Remember, she wrangles everybody.
- 45:03She's she's a Mooney and Robin Wrangler and both Mooney and
- 45:07Robin are Wiley. So she deserves it.
- 45:10If you're, if you're up for it, give her, buy her a coffee.
- 45:14That would be great. Let's see.
- 45:19Oops. Karen's case is infuriating.
- 45:22I'll have to take a look at it. What kind of foods am I eating?
- 45:25I'm eating only Whole Foods. So I'm eating a lot of chicken.
- 45:29I'm eating a lot of pork, I mean a lot of beef.
- 45:33I am eating potatoes and rice, and then for the most part,
- 45:38vegetables. I like raw, I like cooked.
- 45:41Peas, but it's typically. You know, broccoli and carrots
- 45:45and you know, celery and cucumber, stuff like that.
- 45:52Every once in a while I'll do a Mexican bowl or I will do tacos
- 45:57so that, you know, have. I like street style tacos and so
- 46:00that my my carbohydrates will be in the form of corn tortillas
- 46:05and then yeah, the that would have.
- 46:11Like cilantro and onions and stuff like that on it.
- 46:14So, but if it's not whole, if it's not a whole food, I don't
- 46:18eat it anymore. So.
- 46:20So I'm just liking what I like. I I'm just eating what I like
- 46:24and I'm down. Since you're asking, I am down
- 46:40about 37 lbs. Yeah, not in a month.
- 46:45I'm down 37 lbs from August. So month and a half.
- 46:53It's extreme. But here's The thing is that I
- 46:56am I'm a person who does things to the extreme.
- 47:02The hard part for me, what happened was I was going to go
- 47:06flying and I was going to go flying in a short take off and
- 47:09landing aircraft and I had to weigh myself in order to go in
- 47:17that particular aircraft. And I did not like what the
- 47:21scale told me. And I said to myself, Gavin,
- 47:24what the crap man, what are you doing?
- 47:25He used to be such a handsome. Guy.
- 47:27He used to be a fit guy. What happened, what happened?
- 47:33And so I decided I would make it a priority.
- 47:36This the like really sad part about this is that my wife is,
- 47:39is an expert in fitness and health and she is, she, she has
- 47:44maintained her amazingness and her beauty for all these nearly
- 47:4926 years that we've been married.
- 47:51And I haven't done the same for her.
- 47:53So I am, I have repented, seen the light and made the switch.
- 47:59I'm going to have to slow it down eventually.
- 48:05I'm I'm going to have to slow it down.
- 48:07I'm going to have to bring it up to closer to 2000 calories and
- 48:12just kind of slow it down. But right now I'm feeling good
- 48:17and I'm feeling motivated and I'm, I'm not in any danger of
- 48:21burnout. I'm not in danger of hurting my
- 48:24body. My body's feeling better than it
- 48:25has in a long time. So I'm going to keep going as
- 48:28long as, as long as I feel that way.
- 48:33When I stop feeling that way, then I will I will make a
- 48:38strategy change. And again, I'm doing this under
- 48:41the care of experts. I'm OK, Don't worry about me.
- 48:48All right? Cassie says.
- 48:52Since you mentioned Todd Colehap, I'm curious if you've
- 48:55ever seen criminal profiler Pat Brown's video on him.
- 48:58She worked on the Super Bikes case and was highly critical of
- 49:02the lead investigator. I've not seen Pat Brown's video.
- 49:07No. I know the Cole Hep case pretty
- 49:11darn well. I do think that the Super Bikes
- 49:14case could have been solved. There didn't seem to be any
- 49:18reason why they couldn't have solved that I saw.
- 49:26I haven't been in touch with her for a while.
- 49:28Why am I blanking on her name? But she's the widow of the Super
- 49:33Bikes owner. I'm blanking on her name.
- 49:38She's amazing. But after Cole Hep's conviction,
- 49:45she apologized to him in her victim impact statement for
- 49:49whatever her husband made Said that set him off.
- 49:53Was so sorry that he had done that and I thought Oh my
- 49:57goodness, she is a better person than I ever will be.
- 50:02But if you're curious about the case.
- 50:04I mean, I don't know what I've, it's been so long.
- 50:09But if you go to cases. On my website, scroll on down to
- 50:15Colehab. Where is Colehab?

- 51:03quick. All
- 51:16right. So, for example, these are these
- 51:24are the kind of photos that I got from the prosecution that
- 51:26they were so cool, man, when I called the police or the
- 51:29Sheriff's Office down there, they're like, if we had to go
- 51:32through everything that we had in our filing cabinets of Todd,
- 51:35Todd Colehab, it would cost you $20,000 just in our fees, our
- 51:40research and copying fees. But if you reach out to the
- 51:44attorney state's attorney's office, everything we gave to
- 51:48them, they have. And so I reached out to them and
- 51:54they were like, yeah, where do you want it?
- 51:59They gave me a drive link, gave me so much.
- 52:01Stuff it was really cool. So yeah, if you're curious about
- 52:07Cole Hep, that is a that is just a cornucopia of Cole hep
- 52:16information, so. So check it out.
- 52:20All right, know that case in in Miss Comer the the reporter she
- 52:28and I have talked at length about Todd Tanya, do you like
- 52:33cilantro? Everyone in my family hates it
- 52:35except me. Also try arugula with shredded
- 52:38Parmesan and balsamic lemon vinegar dressing so good.
- 52:41I do love cilantro. I do love arugula.
- 52:45And I don't think I'd ever had it until I was in Germany one
- 52:50time and somebody asked if I wanted rocket.
- 52:53Rocket. What the devil is Rocket?
- 52:57And I had to look it up. Oh, Arugula.
- 53:00Sure. Yeah, I'll take it over.
- 53:01Yeah, it's delicious. Delicious.

- 53:08good for me because I am I Yeah. I'm eating the stuff that I
- 53:15like. Just ducky.
- 53:18How are the Haines sisters? Did they even notice you were
- 53:22gone? I am Judy Haines favorite human.
- 53:28I am a Judy Haines magnet. Anywhere I am, she tends to be.
- 53:33I have to shut the door in order to have a little Judy Haines
- 53:37privacy. Betty Haines is a little more
- 53:41independent than Judy. Which is, I mean, it tracks,
- 53:45right? Betty was always the more
- 53:47responsible one, the one that took care of her kids sister.
- 53:51Right. Speaking of which, a production
- 53:54of White Christmas is happening, I think next month in our little
- 53:59area and we're taking the kiddos to go see White.
- 54:02Christmas so they can understand where the Haines sisters
- 54:06reference comes from. But yes, the Haines sisters are
- 54:08doing terrific. Let's talk disabilities.
- 54:14Did I get my haircut? I did not, no.
- 54:17It is in a I don't need these anymore because we've already
- 54:21done the thing. It is in a ponytail.
- 54:24You can see that it's able to get back there now and I am
- 54:30considering going to get it styled because it is just a big
- 54:35mop of brown and silver mane right now and it needs to be.
- 54:44I don't know if I can live with this for as long as it will take
- 54:48to actually donate it. So I think I'm going to go get a
- 54:50trim, go get it styled, make it so that it's not just horrible
- 54:55to live with. And then I think that will help
- 54:58me to continue on. Garth B Not you think cilantro
- 55:03tastes like soap. OK, listen, listen, guys,
- 55:09there's one proper way to make a Taco, OK?
- 55:12Now, I know a lot of us do. In fact, I grew up putting
- 55:16Pickles and ketchup on tacos. I didn't know that that was a
- 55:19sin back then, so I don't feel like I need to repent for it
- 55:25because I didn't know. But anyway, there is one true
- 55:28way to make a Taco. It is thus corn tortilla must be
- 55:34cooked in oil. OK, Parmesan cheese corn
- 55:42tortilla. It's a Parmesan cheese corn
- 55:44tortilla sandwich at this point. OK, next is your protein.
- 55:50You can choose whatever you want.
- 55:51I don't like fish, but you could choose fish.
- 55:54You could choose. I usually do chicken, Sometimes
- 55:56I do steak. I velvet the steak so it's a
- 55:59little softer, right? I put that in there.
- 56:03Then comes onions. Now you can do red, you can do
- 56:06yellow, you can do white, does not matter.
- 56:08You just can't do green. You can't do like shallots.
- 56:11You need onions, those sprinkle on there.
- 56:14Then you do cilantro on that. Then you squeeze lime on top of
- 56:19that. And that is the world's only way
- 56:23to make a proper Taco, according to Gavin Fish.
- 56:27OK, but no, I don't think I don't think that cilantro tastes
- 56:32like soap. And Tina says funny, my son
- 56:35always said cilantro tastes like soap, but I also thought he was
- 56:38crazy. Well, both things can be true at
- 56:41once. Maybe your son is crazy and
- 56:44cilantro tastes like soap to him.
- 56:45That's really funny. Debbie says.
- 56:49Gavin, you're from California. How did you not know how tacos
- 56:52are supposed to be made? I will tell you why.
- 56:54I will tell you why because I'm not originally from California.
- 56:57I am. I'm a transplant to California
- 57:00at the. Age of 8.
- 57:02I was fun fact, I was conceived in California, but my parents
- 57:06went back to the Rocky Mountain West for the first eight years
- 57:10of my life, for the last, I think trimester of my mom's
- 57:15pregnancy and the first eight years of my life.
- 57:17Then we were back in the same town in California.
- 57:22While we're back there, living in the Rocky Mountain West, I
- 57:26don't know who put Pickles and ketchup on my tacos.
- 57:28Maybe, maybe that was the only way they could get me to eat
- 57:31tacos. But I don't think that's it
- 57:33either, because all of my siblings, all of them, we all
- 57:39ate tacos with ketchup and Pickles.
- 57:42It's basically a cheeseburger wrapped in a tortilla, which, if
- 57:47you think of it in those terms, not a bad idea, right?
- 57:52But it's not a real Taco. I like street tacos.
- 57:55I like what I described to you is how you should get a Taco out
- 57:59of like a Taco truck. And there is no, there is no
- 58:05other way. Debbie is from San Diego.
- 58:08You know, Kimberly and I, we moved our family.
- 58:12To Reno, NV at one time. What year would that have been?
- 58:16That would have been 2005. We built the Oh my goodness, we
- 58:25did so many, so many real estate projects back then.
- 58:28So I'm just, we bought Carmichael in 2000.
- 58:33We sold it in 2003. We bought no, 2000.
- 58:39Yeah, 2003 we bought Loomis and I own, we built, I own.
- 58:46Yeah. So yeah.
- 58:48Then we built Reno. OK, so 2005.
- 58:51Ish. And by 2006, the business that
- 58:57we started out there was gone. It failed in like fantastic
- 59:03fashion and we were getting deeper and deeper into debt and
- 59:10we had to work hard. And so I don't know why I gave
- 59:13you that preface, but I worked as a limo driver in Reno, NV.
- 59:19That was my night job, was driving a limo.
- 59:23Kimberly was working a night job waitressing at Denny's.
- 59:30That was man, that was a time she waitressed 3 nights a week
- 59:34and I drove limo 4 nights a week.
- 59:38And then she taught fitness classes during the day, I think
- 59:43six days a week. And I worked five days a week
- 59:47during the day. It doesn't matter the job that I
- 59:51had, it was it was it wasn't right for me.
- 59:53It was a good job, but not right for me.
- 59:55Anyway, down outside that that limo company was in just the
- 1:00:01worst neighborhood in all of Reno.
- 1:00:03But the. Best part of it was at about
- 1:00:06midnight a Taco truck would show up and I would be able to get I
- 1:00:13would be able to get exactly what I wanted.
- 1:00:16Three St. Tacos would.
- 1:00:19Would, you know, satiate me for the rest of my shift, which
- 1:00:24ended at like 7:00 in the morning?
- 1:00:26Oh man, those were hard times. Good times though.
- 1:00:29Good times. Tastes like soaped Donna as
- 1:00:33well. And then Emma asked.
- 1:00:37What about avocado, Garth? Bena loves avocado.
- 1:00:41I am not an avocado. Person.
- 1:00:44Nope. They're, they're basically two
- 1:00:45things that I don't eat, no. Well, here are Gavin's rules.
- 1:00:50OK, number one, and there are exceptions to every rule, but if
- 1:00:55it can be described as a ball or a loaf, the answer is no, with
- 1:01:01the exception of bread. OK, bread.
- 1:01:04Bread falls in its own category. But if it is a loaf, I do not
- 1:01:09eat it. If it is a ball, I do not eat
- 1:01:12it. I don't know.
- 1:01:12There's something, something up here that I just, I don't want
- 1:01:15to eat a loaf of anything. Meatloaf.
- 1:01:18No, just give me meat. A cheese ball.
- 1:01:23No, don't give me. A cheese ball, give me cheese,
- 1:01:26right? So that's number one.
- 1:01:28Number two, I do not eat any reproductive anything that comes
- 1:01:34from the reproductive parts of any animal.
- 1:01:38So I do not like eggs. I just can't, I just can't get
- 1:01:42beyond the fact that it is an embryo, right?
- 1:01:46I'm just I just can't do that. And then then the two foods that
- 1:01:51I don't like are tomatoes and I want to like them.
- 1:01:56I want to like them pretty much every year on my birthday, I say
- 1:02:00to myself, will this be the year that my tongue tastes tomatoes
- 1:02:03afresh and they are delicious. It is never, it is never
- 1:02:09happened to me, but I don't like tomatoes.
- 1:02:11I do like tomato things. I like tomato sauce that has
- 1:02:15lots of lots of herbs and spices in it.
- 1:02:18Like I obviously I'd like ketchup as a kiddo, right?
- 1:02:23But tomatoes, chunks of tomatoes, tomatoes and a salad.
- 1:02:28My brother just eats tomatoes where he just like put salt on
- 1:02:30them and eat some like apples. He loves them.
- 1:02:33I want to like them, but I don't.
- 1:02:34And then the second thing that I do not like is avocado.
- 1:02:37And I think for avocado, it's just the greasy, weird texture
- 1:02:42because the taste seems to be OK.
- 1:02:45I just don't like that texture. There are other things that have
- 1:02:48similar texture that I like, like hummus, but but hummus has
- 1:02:53a little more grit in it. It's not as slimy.
- 1:02:55It's gross. Kel says now avocado tastes like
- 1:03:00soap. That's funny.
- 1:03:04Fire Rabbit had meatloaf balls for dinner last night.
- 1:03:08Oh, my goodness, that's hilarious.
- 1:03:10Yeah. No, can't do it.
- 1:03:12Like. Why you put stuff in meat?
- 1:03:13Just give me the meat, Tanya says.
- 1:03:19I'm not a fan of avocado either, but I love some guacamole.
- 1:03:23And do not tell me they are the same.
- 1:03:25They just are not the same. OK Mooney, you would love my
- 1:03:31tomatoes fresh out of the garden.
- 1:03:33I never liked them until I started growing them.
- 1:03:35Mooney, I hate to be disagreeable, but I say nae nae
- 1:03:40to your preposition. No, I would not.
- 1:03:43My brother grows delicious heirloom variety tomatoes
- 1:03:49straight out of the garden. They are still tomatoes.
- 1:03:52Now, I believe that they are better at home than you get out
- 1:03:56of a farm or from the store or whatever, but there's just
- 1:03:59something about it. Can't not do it.
- 1:04:03Chrissy says. My food choices and stories are
- 1:04:05cracking her up. Well, I'm glad.
- 1:04:07I'm glad the eggs sold in grocery stores are not
- 1:04:13fertilized. So not an embryo.
- 1:04:14You know what? OK, I take that back.
- 1:04:16It's a potential embryo, all right?
- 1:04:18So I I, I just can't do it. Now, having said that, having
- 1:04:23said that, see, I can tell it's all in my mind, right?
- 1:04:25I'm like this local guy, but I love cake.
- 1:04:30Cake has eggs in it, right? I like, I like brownies.
- 1:04:35I like, well, brownies don't have egg, but I like like French
- 1:04:39ice cream with eggs in it. I'm down.
- 1:04:42I just don't want to. I just don't want to know it's
- 1:04:44there. I guess I just don't want to
- 1:04:46think about it being there. But I can't do Mayo.
- 1:04:50I cannot do Mayo, and I want to be able to like Mayo.
- 1:04:54It's a mother sauce for crying out loud.
- 1:04:56It's like one of the staples of French cuisine.
- 1:05:00I cannot do it because it's blended raw egg and oil.
- 1:05:06No, cannot do that. I do.
- 1:05:10I am a little close minded. That's true.
- 1:05:16They say tomatoes cry when picked.
- 1:05:17Maybe it's like the egg thing. That's funny, Kill says.
- 1:05:21My Nana used to tell me off for eating her tomatoes and green
- 1:05:24beans straight from the garden. Now I have got an Aunt Marie.
- 1:05:28My Aunt Marie is a master gardener.
- 1:05:33She's amazing. And her peas, I don't know what.
- 1:05:38I don't know what kind of they are.
- 1:05:40I, I think that I don't even think that they're a special
- 1:05:43variety at all. I just think that she digs
- 1:05:46around in the dirt and lots of love sloughs off of her and gets
- 1:05:50mixed into that dirt and then it grows up.
- 1:05:54Her peas are the best. And I, and I do love me some
- 1:05:58peas. So OK guys, feel like I'm.
- 1:06:01Rambling, but I'm glad that you're around.
- 1:06:03Thanks for joining me tonight. We'll be back tomorrow at 7:30
- 1:06:08PM Eastern for Tuesday take away.
- 1:06:12Please don't forget that you can join us over.
- 1:06:16Well, first always go to the website.
- 1:06:18Always go to the website. This is this is my site and
- 1:06:22we've got crime card articles. Which crime card is my my true
- 1:06:28crime website? My news website?
- 1:06:31I'm so glad that Jake Harrow admitted that he was guilty of
- 1:06:34killing little baby Emmanuel. I've got my blog posts.
- 1:06:39Oh, I said I was going to write a new blog post, but I didn't
- 1:06:41get to it over the weekend. I really just kind of needed a
- 1:06:44break. And yesterday, Kimberly and I
- 1:06:46spent the whole day together and it was delightful.
- 1:06:48It was awesome. But when you're at the website,
- 1:06:52click on the little fishy right there that will take you over to
- 1:06:55the fish tank where we hang out on Facebook.
- 1:06:59Got 5500 of us there and lots of conversations.
- 1:07:03So please hang out with us there.
- 1:07:06And one last, let me just look. Gavin, pears are ball shaped.
- 1:07:14No, no. Tanya, pears are pear shaped.
- 1:07:18OK, No, no, for me, it's about the name.
- 1:07:22It's about the name. I don't like meatballs.
- 1:07:27I do like meat. I don't like cheese balls.
- 1:07:31I do like cheese. And you know what?
- 1:07:34I know that I was, I know that we were doing our outro here,
- 1:07:39but let me let me give you another example, OK, I am a
- 1:07:43connoisseur of Chinese cuisine. I almost said fine Chinese
- 1:07:47cuisine, but no, it's just Chinese cuisine because I have
- 1:07:51in my travels, you know, when you work in an industry that is
- 1:07:56all about luxury, I would go all over the world and I'd be wined
- 1:08:01and dined at these luxurious places.
- 1:08:02Hong Kong especially was one where I would have these
- 1:08:05amazing, by their definition, Chinese meals, right?
- 1:08:11Cantonese. But I also had Chinese meals
- 1:08:13there. I'm not a.
- 1:08:16Fine China cuisine guy, I am just a a cuisine, a China guy.
- 1:08:20China food, Chinese food. OK, let me tell you my rules
- 1:08:24that they are threefold. And you guys, if if you follow
- 1:08:29these rules, if you follow these rules, you will never go astray.
- 1:08:35And I'm talking anywhere in the world.
- 1:08:37I know that a lot of you are watching me from other places in
- 1:08:40the world. OK?
- 1:08:42If you follow these rules, you will get the best Chinese food
- 1:08:46100% guaranteed every time. Rule #1 The name of the place
- 1:08:55must include. Must include a stereotypical
- 1:09:01what? China, a stereotypical word.
- 1:09:05So that would include empire wall, jade crane, you know, just
- 1:09:17the stereotypical thing. So if it if it's called Golden
- 1:09:21Palace, yes, if it's called Jade Dragon, yes, if it but you don't
- 1:09:29want to go to like China Bistro or Fusion Fusion China or you
- 1:09:37don't want to do that, you want to go Jade Empire Emperor
- 1:09:43Dragon, You know all those words.
- 1:09:48OK, that's, that's rule number one rule #2 when you go inside
- 1:09:54there, you must feel as if you have stepped in to like a 19th
- 1:10:03century opium den. I want it dark.
- 1:10:07I want the walls red. I want there to be wood carvings
- 1:10:12of, of palaces and temples and cranes and things like that on
- 1:10:20the wall. OK, If, if, if it's got any kind
- 1:10:25of modern flair to it at all, run away.
- 1:10:28Just just go. OK, I'm, I'm giving you guys
- 1:10:31some valuable information here. So we've got rule number one in
- 1:10:35the name rule #2 in the Decor. All right, the final rule #3 and
- 1:10:40this is very important. The first time you go to the
- 1:10:51establishment, you have to you have to try to order off menu.
- 1:10:56OK, there are two acceptable answers to being to trying to
- 1:11:02order off menu. Number one is no.
- 1:11:05That is the best answer. We cannot do that.
- 1:11:10You cannot order off menu. Look, this menu has 3483 meals
- 1:11:15that you can choose from. I will not cook any.
- 1:11:18A single solitary thing that's not on the menu, that is the
- 1:11:21best, but acceptable is. They will charge you more, yes,
- 1:11:29but it cost you a dollar or two more.
- 1:11:32That one's acceptable. But all three of these rules
- 1:11:38must be adhered to or it is a bad Chinese restaurant.
- 1:11:43OK, you guys understand this is very important.
- 1:11:49Mooney saying Rocky Mountain oysters are off the menu.
- 1:11:53Indeed, Rocky Mountain oysters are off the menu for me and
- 1:11:56oysters themselves are not. Don't do it for me.
- 1:11:59I'm not a seafood guy. I'm a though I love calamari.
- 1:12:03But I think anything that you deep fry is probably delicious,
- 1:12:06right? No, that's not true because fish
- 1:12:10sticks are gross, I guess. I guess when it comes to.
- 1:12:14Seafood. I like shrimp.
- 1:12:16No matter how it is hot, cold, breaded, not breaded, fried,
- 1:12:20whatever, doesn't matter. I like shrimp and I like
- 1:12:23calamari. But yeah, oysters, not for me.
- 1:12:31And that used to be a place that we would, I'd go to Jack's every
- 1:12:34year, sometimes twice a year in, in Denver, Co of all places,
- 1:12:40Everybody always wanted to go to Jack's.
- 1:12:42It was named Jack's because there was an apartment above it
- 1:12:45that one time Jack Kerouac lived in.
- 1:12:47So anyway, go to Jack's and everybody would be getting
- 1:12:52oysters. I'm like, just get me a steak.
- 1:12:54Just. Give me a steak, I'd be happy.
- 1:12:58I'm a little upset because this hold water for a good Asian
- 1:13:02cuisine. The answer to my dad joke is
- 1:13:06it's apparent but I'm very nice. Not seafood.
- 1:13:12Wait a minute. What's not seafood?
- 1:13:13Calamari. Oh, Rocky Mountain oysters are
- 1:13:17not seafood. Yeah.
- 1:13:18No, I know that. Rocky Mountain oysters are not.
- 1:13:22See, I am from the Rocky Mountains, Mooney.
- 1:13:24I'm just saying. Rocky Mountains and oysters.
- 1:13:26No. Also oysters.
- 1:13:29No. Yeah.
- 1:13:31Yeah. No.
- 1:13:32When we would go and do. OK.
- 1:13:35You guys have got me on memory lane here.
- 1:13:38So every year we would get hogs. And of course when you get hogs,
- 1:13:48when they're piglets, you have to do the castrating, right.
- 1:13:54My uncle, man, my I love him to death love makes the best
- 1:13:58venison jerky of anybody in the entire world.
- 1:14:01And he is honestly the best. He would do the whole thing with
- 1:14:06he wouldn't like illustrate, I think illustrate that that
- 1:14:12accomplishes the thing. The pigs don't feel it and they
- 1:14:14just fall off. But no, he wanted he wanted the
- 1:14:17testicles. So he would like hold down the
- 1:14:21pig, grab the testicle in his mouth and do the scrapey,
- 1:14:25scrapey. So he would have in his mouth
- 1:14:30and he'd take two and he loved him.
- 1:14:32He'd fry him up. He loved him.
- 1:14:37So yes, I know what they are. I have had them.
- 1:14:41I will never have them again. OK, a couple things.
- 1:14:44Let's see. Kel, you would love you would
- 1:14:46have loved Chinese of my childhood.
- 1:14:48Hong Kong palace. OK, rule number one has worked
- 1:14:51all red, all wood carving school with my dad.
- 1:14:54Perfect. He now runs our local.
- 1:14:57Fish and chip shop. Well.
- 1:14:59Dang it, I'm I. For me, Chinese is way better
- 1:15:03than fish and chips though, because I'm not a seafood guy.
- 1:15:06I don't really like fish, but I do like English style chips.
- 1:15:11They are delicious. OK, I'm going to stop guys.
- 1:15:14We'll see each other tomorrow, 7:30 PM Eastern right here on
- 1:15:19this very channel. Until then, I bid you adieu.
