Transcript
- 0:02I don't know about you, but for me, today has already been a
- 0:06very good day. I need to get my desk in order.
- 0:08In fact, I need to. I need to clean my entire
- 0:11office. This is horrible and I need to
- 0:14be treating my wife better. My office is so messy it has
- 0:17spilled out into the landing outside the office.
- 0:21Nevertheless, today has been a great day.
- 0:23Why has it been a great day, Gavin?
- 0:25I'm glad you asked because today I learned a new phrase and I got
- 0:29to learn something new. And I love days where something
- 0:34big happens where I learned something new.
- 0:36And it has to do with this case, the case of missing octogenarian
- 0:41Nancy Guthrie. As you guys know, Savannah
- 0:45Guthrie, Nancy Guthrie's daughter, who is the one of the
- 0:50hosts of NB CS Today show over the last couple of days has done
- 0:56an interview with her colleague. And I shared a little bit of
- 1:03that over in the fish tank. And somebody brought up
- 1:09something that I guess the concept wasn't foreign to me,
- 1:13but the term was. And that term was parasocial
- 1:16relationship. Had never heard that term
- 1:19before. So I got to dig into it and son
- 1:22of a gun, it definitely applies. We're going to talk about it.
- 1:27I hope you guys stick around. We're also there's an update in
- 1:30the Jeffrey Spence trial and the murder of Kirby Carpenter.
- 1:35There's an update in the Rebecca Harrow situation.
- 1:38She is the mother of Emmanuel Harrow, the seven month little
- 1:41baby boy whose body is still yet to be recovered.
- 1:45And man, what is the other story that I have for you?
- 1:48I have. I have a few.
- 1:50Oh, and Harvey Weinstein of all things.
- 1:54So we've got Nancy Guthrie, we've got Jeff Spence, we have
- 1:58got Rebecca Harrow and Harvey Weinstein.
- 2:01It's going to be a busy night. I'm glad you've joined me.
- 2:03Stick with me. This video contains mature
- 2:18themes and discussions intended only for adult audiences.
- 2:22Viewer discretion is advised. Hello there, my friend, and
- 2:27welcome back to another true crime conversation with me,
- 2:31Gavin Fish. You know why else is another?
- 2:33Why else? Javi, can I get a take two on
- 2:36that? I need to learn language here.
- 2:38You know the other reason why today is a good day?
- 2:41Because I feel like I look good today.
- 2:43I feel like today has been a good look.
- 2:45You know what I did today? I decided to dress it up.
- 2:47I'm not wearing jeans. I'm wearing trousers.
- 2:50And I got this nice little linen shirt that makes me feel a
- 2:55little fancier today. Yeah.
- 2:58So I feel good. I feel like I look good.
- 3:01I learned a new term. I got to dig in.
- 3:04It's been a great day, but it's not a great day.
- 3:07Oops. I'm bumping my mic.
- 3:08Sorry about that. It's not a great day for the
- 3:10family of Nancy Guthrie. And they are the people that we
- 3:13should have our minds on right now.
- 3:15The narcissistic side of Gavin just needs to let it go.
- 3:19Let it go. We got to think about others,
- 3:21Gavin, let's do this, OK? Nancy Guthrie, 84 years old, has
- 3:26been missing since February 1st. So what are we at?
- 3:31Well, we're, we're closing down our second month of her missing
- 3:37and it appears that we're no closer to finding her abductor,
- 3:44her kidnapper 2 months on now. There was a terrific and I like,
- 3:52guys, I don't like staged things.
- 3:55I just don't like staged things. But I also understand that this
- 3:58is a different situation, right? That like, how do you, how do
- 4:03you know how to behave if you're a family member of Nancy Guthrie
- 4:07right now? How do you know how the
- 4:11interview with Savannah Guthrie certainly was staged?
- 4:13It it just was because the nature of it, right?
- 4:18They had to prepare for it. And and I normally don't like
- 4:21that sort of stuff, but I thought the Savannah Guthrie did
- 4:24a very, very good job and and answered a couple of questions
- 4:31that have been lingering out there.
- 4:33And then, like I said in the in the open, I want to get into
- 4:39this idea of what a parasocial relationship is because I think
- 4:42it very might this might well be that situation.
- 4:47OK, now before I go dive too deeply into this, I, for those
- 4:52of you who are new, I love learning where you are tuning in
- 4:58from tuning in being an old timey word.
- 5:00I AM 50 years old. I'm kind of an old timey guy.
- 5:03I don't know what what we should say tuning in, I don't know
- 5:08browsing in, I don't know. But wherever you're tuning in
- 5:11from, please put it in the comments.
- 5:13If you're live here on YouTube right now, put it in the live
- 5:17chat. If you're listening or watching
- 5:19on Spotify, quick little plug for the channel Spotify where on
- 5:24every night I upload right after this video.
- 5:26So if it's more convenient for you to listen or watch later,
- 5:31Spotify is a great place to do that.
- 5:34And there's always a link down in the description below.
- 5:36OK, tell me where you're tuning in from.
- 5:39I just, I don't know. I like that.
- 5:41And I like, I like hearing that there are people that are close
- 5:44by and that there are people far, far away.
- 5:47So. So put that in the comments,
- 5:48please. And while you do that, we'll get
- 5:52to your comments here in just a little bit.
- 5:54I want to start out with this clip.
- 5:57This clip is from Savannah Guthrie's interview with Hoda
- 6:02Kotb. It's about two minutes and 40
- 6:06seconds long. Let's start here and then we can
- 6:11go to your comments. Again for noobs #1 thank you for
- 6:16being here. Number two, put your thoughts in
- 6:20the in the comments. Put GF in your comment.
- 6:23That will help me to see it, OK? It does not stand for
- 6:26girlfriend. It does not stand for gluten
- 6:28free. It stands for Gavin.
- 6:31Fish. Your GF that that didn't come
- 6:35out OK, but you know what I mean OK let's see let's listen to
- 6:39this clip right here to get us started from Savannah and hoda
- 6:45you saw Annie and Cam when you got.
- 6:47To. Their house.
- 6:49Tell me about that moment. Just disbelief and hugging each
- 6:55other. And I think we were on the phone
- 6:57with the sheriff and trying to, you know, really make clear as I
- 7:03mean, from the very early moments, you know, Annie and
- 7:06Tommy were saying this isn't this isn't that case that you
- 7:10are used to where someone wanders off.
- 7:12She can't wander off. This part is important.
- 7:16Sorry. Real quick, she's going to give
- 7:17us details on this. We, we know that from Sheriff
- 7:22Nanos, this guy right here. We, we know, or or at least we
- 7:28were told that she couldn't go 50 yards by herself, something
- 7:32like that, right? Savannah's going to give us some
- 7:34details on that. She was in tremendous pain.
- 7:38Her back was very bad. You know, she was trying to.
- 7:43On a good day she could walk down to the mailbox and get the
- 7:46mail, but most days not so. There was no wander off.
- 7:50OK, let me pause that here for a second.
- 7:52And the there's a little detail that came out from from the
- 7:58interview with Savannah Guthrie that I think is really important
- 8:01because not only was she not so ambulatory, I mean, she was
- 8:07ambulatory, right? But but not so much she's an 84
- 8:10year old woman. And there is a spectrum of how
- 8:14our bodies behave when we are aged like that, right?
- 8:18I mean, my grandmother on my mom's side when she was 84 was
- 8:23just completely everywhere. My grandmother on my dad's side
- 8:28did not make it to that age into her 60s.
- 8:31She couldn't move right. So there's this broad spectrum.
- 8:33Now the reason that that I wanted to posit here though, was
- 8:38think about the moment that this dill hole and probably his at
- 8:45least one but probably more Co conspirators went into that
- 8:50house when Nancy Guthrie was in bed, pulled her out of the bed.
- 8:58Think of the pain she would have been in based on the description
- 9:01that we heard from Savannah. It it makes me wonder, oh and I
- 9:06hate to think about this stuff, but it makes me wonder if she
- 9:10even could have survived that first night slash early morning
- 9:16assault. And the doors were popped open.
- 9:19Yeah. And there was blood.
- 9:21No, there had been reporting on this right that the doors were
- 9:25propped open. But this is Savannah saying it,
- 9:29that this is different than saying sources said that no,
- 9:32Savannah is saying this. The doors, the doors, the back
- 9:35door was propped open. Not in the front doors.
- 9:39And then blood on the. Ring camera had been yanked off
- 9:43and so we were saying this is do something.
- 9:47This is not OK. Yeah, this isn't.
- 9:51Something is very wrong here. Yeah.
- 9:54Did you guys talk about what possibly could have happened?
- 9:59Like what could have happened? What went down?
- 10:02Did you? I think my brother, I mean my
- 10:08siblings are so amazing. This part is heartbreaking.
- 10:12My brother, you know, he spent his career in the military and
- 10:19worked in intelligence and it's a fighter pilot and it's
- 10:24brilliant. And he saw very clearly right
- 10:30away what this was. And even on the phone when I
- 10:36called him, he knew. He knew.
- 10:39And he said, I think she's been kidnapped for ransom.
- 10:44And I said. Yeah, what?
- 10:47Well, why? What?
- 10:48And then I mean, it sounds so like how dumb could I be?
- 10:55But I just, I didn't want to believe.
- 10:57I just said, do you think because of me?
- 11:02Think about just the hard conversation that that you would
- 11:06be having with your sibling here, and this is evidence of a
- 11:10beautiful relationship with one's siblings.
- 11:14I happen to have this kind of relationship with my two
- 11:17brothers and my two sisters. There are five of us where we
- 11:21can speak candidly and lovingly with and just put it out there.
- 11:27But this is just heartbreaking. Do you think it was because of
- 11:32me? I said I'm sorry sweetie, but
- 11:42yeah, maybe. But I knew that.
- 11:47The honesty, though, is just inspiring.
- 11:52You did. I hope not.
- 11:56I mean, we still don't know. Honestly, we don't know
- 11:58anything. We don't know anything.
- 12:02Yeah, OK, we're pausing it there.
- 12:03That's the end of that clip. Who coming to the to the
- 12:10realization and saying out loud was this because of me?
- 12:14Of course it's not because of her and we're going to get into
- 12:17that, right? It's not because of her.
- 12:22I personally think it probably is a sick individual, or more
- 12:29more likely, more than one individual who has some sort of
- 12:36fixation on Savannah Guthrie. Or at least it's possible to me.
- 12:41We want to temper our speculation.
- 12:43Remember, we always want to temper our speculation with
- 12:45humanity and with compassion. And the compassionate side of me
- 12:49says, no, it's not because of you, Savannah Guthrie.
- 12:52It's because of that person. They may be using you as an
- 12:56excuse for their behavior, but it's not because of you.
- 13:02But I'm so touched by her brother being honest with her.
- 13:06Now the other part of me, I have to know something.
- 13:12Let me get into where this one right here.
- 13:16I want to see my color blind itself.
- 13:21Can't see the inscription on the, on the headrest of that
- 13:26plane, but I want to. Doesn't matter.
- 13:30See, as a, as a aviation enthusiast, I want to know what
- 13:35kind of plane that is. I feel like it's a serious or
- 13:37something like that, but I can't tell.
- 13:39It doesn't matter. Gavin.
- 13:40Doesn't matter. Don't get off on that tangent.
- 13:44But yeah, I, I think that Savannah Guthrie has given us a,
- 13:47a couple of big things there. One, her mom was in terrible
- 13:50pain. She had a hurt back #2 It was,
- 13:53it was hard for her to make it all the way out to the mailbox
- 13:55#3 think of the pain that she would have been in while she was
- 14:00being assaulted. And yes, it was an assault,
- 14:02right? She was in bed.
- 14:04We think she was in bed and assaulted by strangers in her
- 14:09home where she has been safe for 40 years.
- 14:13So not only the emotional and mental anguish, but the physical
- 14:19pain that we learned about in that clip and also may be an
- 14:24indication that there is a sick, sick individual who may be
- 14:29fixated on Savannah Guthrie and not because of her, but using
- 14:33the excuse of her for having attacked her mom.
- 14:38Let's go over to your comments before I go into the next clip.
- 14:45Let's see. Wow, so many, so many, John
- 14:51says. Just a heads up, the show didn't
- 14:55upload to Spotify last night yet.
- 14:57Actually last night, John, I, I had, I had one of those days
- 15:02where just the day got away from me and I was not able to live

- 17:39very much TCF Iceland watching from Iceland.
- 17:42There's a snowstorm here right now, but we're just having a
- 17:45cozy time inside in the worth warmth.
- 17:49Iceland is a place that I really I have I've only spent time
- 17:52around Reykjavik. If you take Icelandic air guys,
- 17:56here is a here's just a little tip for people who may from the
- 18:02states want to travel to Europe for some reason.
- 18:05Now I'm a person who I I like to go on little trips.
- 18:10Most of my travel has been business related, but I've I've
- 18:12done my fair share of just travelling for fun.
- 18:17But here's a little tip, if you are wanting to go to the
- 18:24mainland Europe and you take Icelandic air, they don't
- 18:30increase the cost of your ticket.
- 18:32If you do a layover, and I mean like a day or two or three or a
- 18:35week layover in Iceland. And it is fun.
- 18:41It's a total tangent, but I'm telling you, take Icelandic air,
- 18:46hang out in Iceland for a little bit.
- 18:47You'll see a country that you wouldn't normally see.
- 18:50You can do your jet lag in there and then it's just a little hop
- 18:53over to like De Gaulle or want to go Orlando or something like
- 18:57that. Anyway, good to see you from
- 19:00Iceland. Glad you are here.
- 19:02Okie, Dokie, let me and thank you for all of you who are who
- 19:07are tuning. In.
- 19:08From all over the place, Canada, Louisiana guys Rad OK let me go
- 19:14to clip #2. Bring it up on the.
- 19:18Screen so you guys can see it. This one is about a minute 45,
- 19:22so not long. Here we go and I haven't.
- 19:26Posted one thing or said one thing that the three of us
- 19:32haven't decided together, I would imagine.
- 19:35That includes this interview here.
- 19:37It is surreal. It's.
- 19:40How is it? Possible that we are having to
- 19:44make a video speaking to a kidnapper who took an 84 year
- 19:53old woman in the dead of night, in her pajamas, with no shoes,
- 20:04without her medicine, this little person and to beg for
- 20:11mercy. In the days that.
- 20:14Followed multiple notes demanding rough, right?
- 20:18Oh my goodness, so rough. What did we learn there?
- 20:21She None of her shoes must have been missing.
- 20:24None of her clothes must have been missing.
- 20:26It's probably apparent to her that she was taking in her PJS
- 20:32and then having to swallow your pride to beg your mother's
- 20:37kidnappers for her return. So tough payment were sent to
- 20:43various media outlets, the ransom note notes or ransom
- 20:48requests came. Did you believe those to be
- 20:51real? There are a lot of.
- 20:52Different notes I think that came and I think most of them,
- 20:57it's my understanding, are not real, OK.
- 21:01I found this interesting because I think we knew about 3, maybe 4
- 21:06notes that came in. From what she just said, it
- 21:09sounds like way more than that. And she goes.
- 21:14On to talk about the two shootings.
- 21:15Surreal. I didn't.
- 21:16See them. But, you know, a person that
- 21:23would send a fake ransom note really has to look deeply at
- 21:28themselves. Yeah.
- 21:31To a family in pain, that is that.
- 21:33Is extending so much grace. She is being so graceful in
- 21:37that. I would be I.
- 21:41But. I believe the two notes that we
- 21:48received that we responded to. I tend to believe.
- 21:53Those are real. Really.
- 21:57I I'm. Not I think the ones that they
- 22:00responded to. The first one was like the TMZ
- 22:03one that where the same note was was sent to local media as well
- 22:08and then there was a second one that went to local media I.
- 22:13Don't know how many. Others.
- 22:14I know that TMZ, there were a couple more communications, TMZ,
- 22:21but I don't know how many came in.
- 22:24It. Sounds to me like.
- 22:27I I don't know well. I was just making up numbers in
- 22:29my head. I was like, are we talking
- 22:3067810? I don't know.
- 22:34But she believes that the two that they responded to a real
- 22:38and it makes sense they would respond to those, right.
- 22:42But talk about, I mean, she is extending so much grace to the
- 22:45dill holes. In case you guys are wondering,
- 22:49that's what this coffee mug is. This is my dill hole coffee mug.
- 22:53I just drink water out of it because I get parched as we are
- 22:56speaking to one another. But.
- 23:02The she's extending a lot of grace, saying, you know, you
- 23:06really don't need to take a look at yourselves.
- 23:08I would want to shake those people.
- 23:11Clip. #3. Here we go.
- 23:14Javi, when the ring camera video surfaced and you could see who
- 23:23that person. OK, I want to preface this.
- 23:26I want to preface this one just a little bit.
- 23:33When before this video came out there, I think it was Banfield.
- 23:38I think it was Ashley Banfield reported that she had a source
- 23:44saying that the police were looking at Savannah Guthrie's
- 23:49brother-in-law Tommaso. I here on this channel reported
- 23:54that Ashley had reported that. I I.
- 23:58Didn't have first hand knowledge, but I was
- 24:00irresponsible in doing that. I should not have done that and
- 24:04I I just want to take the opportunity to apologize for
- 24:08piling on. It was not my intention.
- 24:10My intention is always compassion and temperance.
- 24:17But. Yeah, let's, let's go ahead.
- 24:20I'm going to, I'm going to restart this one and let's,
- 24:22let's have a look. See when the Ring camera video
- 24:27surfaced and you could see who that person was.
- 24:35Just tell me. What you thought when you saw,
- 24:37when you saw those images of the person who who took your mother?
- 24:45I mean, it's just. Absolutely terrifying, yeah.
- 24:48It's just. Totally terrifying.
- 24:55And I can't. Imagine that that is who she saw
- 25:01us standing over her bed. Yeah, I can't.
- 25:07That's too much. Yeah, and I'm glad and grateful
- 25:15to the investigators and the technology companies that were
- 25:19able to find that video. Do I hope at least with people
- 25:28of good heart and compassion, stop the irresponsible and cruel
- 25:37speculation that had started to swirl?
- 25:43Let's talk about that for a. Minute I'm glad that people saw
- 25:46yeah. What came to our door?
- 25:54Yeah. When you talk.
- 25:57About the cruel speculation, The Whisperers, the innuendo that it
- 26:02was somebody in your family. How did you weather that it's?
- 26:08Unbearable, and it piles pain upon pain.
- 26:21There are no. Words, yeah.
- 26:24I'll finish this out. It's got another 30 seconds.
- 26:26But we don't want to be the kind of people that add to the pain
- 26:28of victims families. We want to offer relief, right?
- 26:32We want to offer an Oasis in the middle of the desert of their
- 26:38terror, right? So yeah, let's let's take that
- 26:43as a lesson moving forward. If, if any of us, in my case, I
- 26:48was I, I should have known better.
- 26:51I did know better and still went forward with that report.
- 26:56Should not. Have done that.
- 26:59There are no words I don't understand, I'll never
- 27:03understand, and no one took better care of my mom than my
- 27:14sister and brother-in-law. And no one protected my mom more
- 27:19than my brother. And we love her.
- 27:25And she's our shining light. She's our matriarch.
- 27:28She's all we have. Yeah.
- 27:31I I. Just I wanted to include that in
- 27:33there so that we all are reminded of that our actions
- 27:37have consequences. And when we find that our
- 27:42actions have had negative consequences, it is on us to
- 27:47seek, well, to be penitent about that.
- 27:54We want to be better people. All right, the last clip that I
- 27:57have for you is about two minutes long.
- 28:02This came at the end of the interview and and what was Part
- 28:053. But here we go.
- 28:08You're focusing on people in Tucson.
- 28:11Somebody. There must have seen or known
- 28:14something and maybe forgot about it or didn't pay attention to
- 28:16it. How can someone?
- 28:18Vanish without a trace. How someone knows something,
- 28:26even if that's something is someone's been, by the way.
- 28:30While this is playing I I really want to hear your thoughts on
- 28:33the interview that Savannah Guthrie did.
- 28:36So put GF in the comment and we'll get to your comments after
- 28:40this one. Acting strange for the last. 7-8
- 28:45weeks. Even if it's just that somebody
- 28:47knows and maybe somebody's afraid, This part's important.
- 28:56I understand. That, but our hearts are in
- 29:04agony. We can't.
- 29:08Breathe. We can't live, we can't go on.
- 29:13We can't be at peace, we can't go forward.
- 29:20We have to know what happened to her.
- 29:23You talked about coming. Back to New York, one of the
- 29:26other enduring images for me was walking into Studio 1A and
- 29:32seeing you there speaking to everybody.
- 29:36What was it like for you walking back in there?
- 29:42I really wanted to come and see everybody.
- 29:48I just love this beautiful place that we call home where we get
- 29:55to come and be every day. And I know how much people have
- 30:07prayed for me and loved me. All the people that you see on
- 30:14TV, you know, and then all the people that you don't.
- 30:20All the notes. And messages that I have
- 30:23received are. Just.
- 30:28So beautiful. I just wanted to be with my
- 30:29family. They're my family, too.
- 30:34I thought that was a beautiful sentiment because she like what?
- 30:38What are the chances that we find out what happens to Nancy
- 30:42Guthrie? I hope they're they're higher
- 30:44than what I think they are. This this is a.
- 30:47Family that I think is most likely going to go on without
- 30:52having answers to these questions.
- 30:56I think, I hope I'm wrong by the way, but but they have to
- 31:03straddle that line, right? They have to, they have to walk
- 31:06the line of continuing to mourn and work and pray and hope and
- 31:15counsel together and also live their lives.
- 31:20And that's, oh, that is certainly tough And and none of
- 31:24us want to be in that position, right.
- 31:27Let me, I'm going to, I'm going to refresh here.
- 31:34Let's see. Emmy says it's great.
- 31:36Interview it. I thought so too.
- 31:39Emmy it was Babe is babe. Bran takes a real man to admit
- 31:45he's wrong and apologize. I I do my best.
- 31:48I and I, I did not do very well before.
- 31:54So yeah, I'm happy. To apologize for that.
- 31:58Miss Chivos Dragon, it's nice to have it clarified somewhat.
- 32:01That original door was left open was actually doors were propped
- 32:04open. We didn't know if open meant
- 32:06wide open or just unlocked. Yes, indeed.
- 32:10Yeah. And Jenny, thank you for that.
- 32:15Let's see. Thank you for apologizing.
- 32:17Try to give yourself some grace. You would think someone with as
- 32:19many followers would have vetted the information she was
- 32:22reporting. Yeah.
- 32:23And I should have. I should have not done that.
- 32:28Captured. Andy says the interview muddied
- 32:31the timeline even more. Let's see, Elizabeth.
- 32:35Says not a good interview on Hoda's part.
- 32:37No follow up questions. Missed opportunity in my
- 32:40opinion. But then again, none of this is
- 32:42really our business. Yeah, I, I from a journalistic
- 32:45standpoint it does. It did feel a little bit more
- 32:48like Hoda was a friend talking to a friend, not wanting to push
- 32:51it any further than where that friend wanted to take it.
- 32:57I don't. Know it's I don't disagree with
- 33:02you, Elizabeth. I just I think I understand why
- 33:05she did that intrepid Freddy cat.
- 33:08Oh, a Freddy cat that is also intrepid with maybe we've got a
- 33:14we've got a Kitty Vermeer there. That's pretty.
- 33:16That's a great avatar. Gavin.
- 33:20I'm a caregiver to my 83 year old mother.
- 33:22She has very limited mobility, lots of muscle mass and thinning
- 33:26skin is an issue. Any movement has to be slow and
- 33:30gentle. The pain can cause shock to set
- 33:32in. What a terrific insight, right?
- 33:36That the thinning skin when my when my maternal grandmother was
- 33:40getting to the end of her life, anything touching her skin was
- 33:44just pain. So the idea of somebody grabbing
- 33:47her right would be painful, not just because she had a bad back,
- 33:52but because she's age aged. Sorry.
- 33:56So tough. So tough.
- 34:00Yes, Dateline on NBC tonight. It's going to be a little bit
- 34:03more. Thanks, Emmy, for that.
- 34:06Paulie, thanks for tuning in from Scotland.
- 34:13And there goes. My 82 year old mom driving her
- 34:16tractor around her. I think that meant acreage.
- 34:18That's funny. Yeah, there's a broad spectrum
- 34:22of how we end up. To to.
- 34:26All this could Savannah's coverage of Epstein being
- 34:30related to this. I hope not.
- 34:32I don't know. I don't know about that.
- 34:37Elizabeth. Says I don't see how that was
- 34:39piling on. Banfield sticks to her story
- 34:41that her source told her that info.
- 34:43Right or wrong, we don't know at this point.
- 34:45Yeah. Yep.
- 34:48And Joanne adds this is so heartbreaking.
- 34:51It is. It is Scotch's mom.
- 34:54I few Icelandic airlines with my parents in 1977 from Chicago to
- 34:59Luxembourg. I was 2 in 1977.
- 35:04So I have not I don't have quite as long a history with Icelandic
- 35:10air, but I have been flying it since the early 2000s.
- 35:15That's that's my let's see, Jewel says.
- 35:18Looking good, Gavin, but have to say blue is your best color.
- 35:21I like blue. Yeah, it makes my eyes pop.
- 35:24You're right. You are right, Chaley says how
- 35:30do I send you a link? If you go to my website,
- 35:32whichisgavinfish.com and let me bring it up right here and you
- 35:37click on oh, I need to bring it and drag it in for you guys to
- 35:41be able to see it. I didn't do that before we
- 35:43started. There we go.
- 35:44See this little envelope icon? If you click on that, that will.
- 35:48Get you to a form where. You can send me info very very
- 35:52easy. I do it this way because emails
- 35:54get lost and this gets logged. So do it that way and thank you,
- 35:59Okie Dokie. Now that this brings us, now
- 36:04that we've gone through your comments just a little bit, this
- 36:05brings us to a comment that came in on the fish tank a little bit
- 36:11earlier today. I think I might be able to find
- 36:13it pretty easily. Yeah, here it is from.
- 36:18Nan Shirley, when I posted what we were going to talk about
- 36:23tonight, if you're not on the fish tank and you're on
- 36:26Facebook, I invite you to come check us out.
- 36:28It looks like this. Just scroll up to the top.
- 36:31Gavin, come on. There we go.
- 36:33Looks like that. And the easiest way to find the
- 36:36fish tank is on my website, gavinfish.com.
- 36:39Click on the little fishy. There's also always a there's a
- 36:42link down in the description below.
- 36:45OK, coming down to this little post that I did today, Nan,
- 36:51surely a rising contributor in the fish tank, says I've thought
- 36:54from the beginning it might be a parasocial person fixated on
- 36:58Savannah. And I said to myself.
- 37:04I. Didn't I had never read the word
- 37:07parasocial? I wondered what that is and so I
- 37:12looked it up and got some information that I want to share
- 37:18with you guys because and we were talking about this a few
- 37:23days ago. If you guys will remember.
- 37:25Hey Wanda, I know this isn't me like talking about my past, but
- 37:29we're we're going to we're going to do a flashback to a few days
- 37:32ago. Can can we get flashback music?
- 37:35All right, so if you guys will remember, Yeah, good flashback
- 37:39music, Wanda that. But do you have something maybe
- 37:42on the Fender roads? Maybe we could do something like
- 37:44that? Oh, yeah, that's better.
- 37:46OK, flashing back to a few days ago.
- 37:50We. Talked about Mr. Rogers, right?
- 37:53How Mr. Rogers was somebody who I absolutely loved growing up
- 37:58and felt as a child that that he was my friend, right?
- 38:03And I would check in, I would go to his neighborhood every
- 38:05weekday and I would hang out with Mr. Rogers.
- 38:08It would he was my friend and his program was designed for
- 38:12children to feel that way. And indeed, programs like mine
- 38:16that you're watching right now, they're designed.
- 38:20It's not like we're master designers of this or master
- 38:23manipulators or anything like that.
- 38:25But I. Want you to feel.
- 38:26Like, like you're tuning into a friend, right?
- 38:31And that's, that's the way many programs are on YouTube, on TV.
- 38:37In fact, when you watch sitcoms, you, you, it's designed for you
- 38:42to feel like, Hey, you're in somebody's home, right?
- 38:45So, so you can build a healthy relationship, digital
- 38:53relationship, right? There comes a point though,
- 38:57where it becomes unhealthy, and these are known as parasocial
- 39:03relationships. Are they?
- 39:06I guess they're all parasocial relationships, but they can get
- 39:12unhealthy. And I found this on Resilience
- 39:15Lab. Let's just get into this just a
- 39:17little bit, OK? Parasocial relationships are
- 39:22connections where you may feel close to a figure in the media
- 39:25despite no reciprocal awareness. With the rise of social media,
- 39:30understanding these one sided interactions is critical.
- 39:33They affect our mental health and shape our social landscape.
- 39:36This article covers blah blah blah, OK.
- 39:40Let me. Just let me.
- 39:41Just tell you as I am, I'm not a celebrity right?
- 39:45I am a YouTube with a small platform and a small following
- 39:49still. I have gotten the.
- 39:53Occasional knock at the door. Which is.
- 39:57Scary for me and my family. We do not want that because we
- 40:03don't. Because to me you are strangers.
- 40:07Many of you, most of you are, some of you not.
- 40:10But to you, I may feel like somebody you know, but to me,
- 40:15I'm only looking at a camera. And so a knock on the door can
- 40:20be really scary. And as we have gone through this
- 40:25little journey on YouTube, we've we've discussed, do we need a
- 40:29place where the property is bigger, where it can be
- 40:33tightened down, those kinds of things.
- 40:35Ultimately, we have taken some measures to for our security,
- 40:39but. When?
- 40:43Somebody reaches a level of fame like Savannah Guthrie, then
- 40:47yeah, I think it can become really dangerous for a very,
- 40:50very small part of the population.
- 40:55So what are parasocial relationships?
- 40:58They are one sided connections with public figures or fictional
- 41:02characters. Fictional characters we're going
- 41:05to talk about we're. Going to talk about that.
- 41:07Too, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and
- 41:11time while the other party is completely unaware of the
- 41:15other's existence. These relationships are
- 41:17considered a normal and common aspect of human socialization
- 41:22are evolutionary predisposition. Predisposition to make social
- 41:25connections extends into media use and this propensity is why
- 41:30we form parasocial relationships.
- 41:32Now this I mean just today I was thinking about this.
- 41:35OK, Do I have parasocial relationships where I feel like
- 41:38I have a connection to somebody who is completely unaware of
- 41:44Maine right now When I was a kid?
- 41:46Yeah. Yeah, dude.
- 41:50Jennifer Connelly. When I was like 13.
- 41:54Years old, huge crush, right? I just dreamt of meeting her and
- 41:59thought it'd be so cool if we were friends and all that stuff.
- 42:02That was a parasocial relationship.
- 42:04Just today, one of the podcasts that I listen to a lot is Conan
- 42:09O'Brien Needs a Friend. And sometimes I watch it on
- 42:11YouTube. And I was watching one that was
- 42:15pretty recent. And then it got me down the
- 42:17rabbit hole and I watched a couple that were older where
- 42:20Conan O'Brien is interviewing his guest, Lisa Kudrow, and they
- 42:25are old friends, right? And in in that conversation.
- 42:31I started to feel. Like having already read this
- 42:35article that we're going over now starting to feel like, Oh my
- 42:38goodness, I'm part of this little, little friendship group,
- 42:41right? And I'm not, I'm just feeling
- 42:44that I am because I relate to some of the things that they're
- 42:47talking about, right? They're, they're a little bit
- 42:50older than me, but about the same age.
- 42:52And we've had a common experiences and so forth.
- 42:55So yeah, this is. And it's a.
- 42:58Natural thing that we do. The concept of parasocial
- 43:01relationships has expanded from those with television personas
- 43:04to digital relationships with bloggers, social media users,
- 43:08gamers. The rise of digital media has
- 43:10facilitated the formation and strengthening of these
- 43:13relationships, which can range from light hearted to intensely
- 43:16personal and even. And this is where it becomes
- 43:19dangerous, borderline, pathological or even just
- 43:23pathological right. Navigating these relationships
- 43:26requires understanding their origins, types, formation and
- 43:30ending factors, as well as their potential impact on mental
- 43:34health. They offer a unique lens to
- 43:36understand one's mental well-being and with
- 43:39self-awareness, they can be managed in a healthy manner.
- 43:44It talks about the the origins. Let me just skip down to this
- 43:48part. Right as the concept of
- 43:50parasocial interaction evolves, so did the platforms for these
- 43:54relationships. The rise of the social media
- 43:56platform has played a significant role in the
- 43:59formation and strengthening of parasocial bonds.
- 44:02The current digital age provides more intimate and frequent
- 44:05interaction opportunities, blurring the lines of parasocial
- 44:09relationships and making fans feel a sense of intimacy with
- 44:12celebrities and influencers. And going back to Savannah
- 44:15Guthrie, you know, like for example, you and I on this very
- 44:20program, we interact with one another like 5 * a week usually,
- 44:25right, every weekday. Now when we're talking about a
- 44:28show like the Today show, that is a daily weekday thing.
- 44:33So I think that that that cadence right the the frequency
- 44:40at which that happens probably can lead those that are, you
- 44:46know, are already borderline pathological into an unhealthy
- 44:51place. As we delve deeper.
- 44:54Into these types of parasocial relationships, it becomes clear
- 44:57that the impact of these one sided bonds can vary
- 45:01significantly. And then there it gives
- 45:03different types of parasocial relationships.
- 45:08Let's see, Let me go over this one.
- 45:12Intense Personal Intense personal parasocial
- 45:15relationships signify A profound emotional attachment to media
- 45:18figures, which can sometimes reach the level of celebrity
- 45:22worship. Unlike the lighter, more
- 45:24communal attachments found in entertainment social
- 45:27relationships, these interactions involve a deep
- 45:30seated conviction that one has a personal connection with a
- 45:33celebrity. Such relationships are
- 45:36characterized not just by frequent checks on the celebrity
- 45:38social media, but also by more intense behavior, such as
- 45:42feeling distressed upon encountering negative articles
- 45:45about the celebrity or getting into arguments with others who
- 45:48do not feel as positively about that celebrity.
- 45:52OK, I want to. I want to skip down to this
- 45:56borderline pathological side, but.
- 46:00I am. I have no bona fides.
- 46:02I have no what am I trying to say?
- 46:05I have no training in this or anything.
- 46:08But I would just just take it as advice from the a formerly fat
- 46:13guy sitting in Western Pennsylvania that if you are
- 46:15feeling. These kinds.
- 46:19Of of feelings and having these kinds of thoughts.
- 46:21You're getting upset if somebody doesn't have the same feelings
- 46:25toward a certain celebrity or media personality that you do, I
- 46:30think. That you need.
- 46:31To seek some help and there's no shame in it, right?
- 46:33This is this is a natural human feeling, but seek some
- 46:38professional help for this it, it will help you, it will help
- 46:41them, it will help everybody and, and it's good for you.
- 46:44And we're all about what's good for us.
- 46:46So do that, OK? The least common form of
- 46:50parasocial relationships is the borderline pathological type,
- 46:54which is considered the most dangerous.
- 46:57These relationships can have severe negative impacts on
- 47:00individuals involved. These relationships extend
- 47:03beyond mere fascination as individuals become so absorbed
- 47:07by their attachment to a celebrity that this hyper focus
- 47:11begins to dictate their thoughts, actions, and feelings.
- 47:14This may lead to unhealthy obsessions and fantasies such as
- 47:19delusions about celebrity seeking a personal relationship
- 47:23about the celebrity seeking a personal relationship with them.
- 47:27At the extreme end, behaviors such as stalking a celebrity can
- 47:32emerge from borderline pathological parasocial
- 47:34relationships. I don't even think it.
- 47:38I mean, they're talking about celebrity on this.
- 47:40But it doesn't have to just be a celebrity, right?
- 47:43To get into one of these parasocial relationships.
- 47:45It's probably the most common way, leading to a dangerous
- 47:49disconnection from reality. This type of parasocial
- 47:52interaction underscores the potential dangers and negative
- 47:56impacts on mental health, underscoring the need for
- 48:00understanding and managing these relationships.
- 48:05And it talks about how to. How to you?
- 48:10Know how sometimes they form and an end, but guys we got to be on
- 48:15the lookout for this. If, if it's true that somebody
- 48:21formed a a pathological parasocial relationship with
- 48:28Savannah Guthrie and is trying to get her attention and just
- 48:32wants to just wants to be in her life and wants her to
- 48:36reciprocate what they are feeling, that could lead to this
- 48:42kind of behavior of, of kidnapping her mother, Nancy
- 48:48Guthrie. For sure.
- 48:51Now what? Of course, I'm not saying that
- 48:54this is what happened. I'm just saying this might
- 48:56happen and, and why are we talking about this?
- 49:00Do you know somebody in your life who is fixated, especially
- 49:06if you're in and around Tucson, but not exclusively?
- 49:11Do you know somebody who you say to yourself, Hmm?
- 49:15They really love. Savannah Guthrie.
- 49:19Could be a man Could. Be a woman there.
- 49:23There are all sorts of pathologies where a domestic
- 49:27partner would go along with somebody's fantasy about a
- 49:31celebrity. I mean, we've seen this.
- 49:33So do you know? Somebody in your life who you're
- 49:36like, oh, this is. Maybe you thought it?
- 49:39Was healthy actually, maybe you're just like, oh, they just
- 49:41a big super fan of Savannah Guthrie or the Today show or
- 49:44something like that. This could this could be a lead
- 49:48to to find who is responsible for kidnapping Nancy Guthrie and
- 49:54we all know the phone number to call 1800, call FBI with tips.
- 49:57OK, now do these kinds of relationships happen Yes, yes
- 50:03they do. There are a couple that come to
- 50:04mind. OK #1 John Hinckley, right?
- 50:09He shot and nearly assassinated Ronald Reagan.
- 50:15He. He.
- 50:21How do I say this? He injured and paralyzed one of
- 50:26Reagan's security guards for life.
- 50:30Why? Because he became fixated on
- 50:33Jodie Foster in her role in Taxi Driver.
- 50:37It makes no sense. A third party is the victim
- 50:40because he was like, oh I'm going to show Jodie Foster how
- 50:44much I love her another one and we talked about fictional
- 50:49characters. Do you remember Mark David
- 50:52Chapman, the assassin of John Lennon in 1980 right.
- 50:59Deep parasocial fixation on John Lennon.
- 51:03He had a personal grievance his his reading of Catcher in the
- 51:13Rye and that and identifying with Holden Caulfield, a
- 51:17fictional character and Catcher in the Rye.
- 51:22You know. Led him.
- 51:24To stalking, following John Lennon and killing him in the
- 51:3090s. Do you guys remember Selena?
- 51:33Or we usually say Selena, right? Yolanda Salivar, she, she was a
- 51:41super fan of Selena. She was a she was the president
- 51:46of her fan club for crying out loud, and she developed this
- 51:50controlling, possessive 1 sided relationship with Selena.
- 51:55Another one that I I looked up and found was Rebecca Schaefer
- 51:59who was murdered by John. I'm sorry, Robert John Bardo in
- 52:041989, she was a model and he became obsessed with her and her
- 52:08TV role. He hired a private investigator
- 52:11to follow her, find her and he full on killed her at her front
- 52:15door. That actually led to a
- 52:19California law, an anti stalking law.
- 52:21In 1996, Ricardo Lopez became fixated and had this parasocial
- 52:28relationship with the recording artist Bjork and became enraged
- 52:36over her relationship with a real person in her life right he
- 52:44attempted to harm. Her by.
- 52:48Mailing a bomb and then took his own life.
- 52:51So I mean, it's in the minority of people.
- 52:55It's not in most of us. A parasocial relationship in and
- 52:58of itself is not bad until it goes too far.
- 53:02Now again, we are here to learn. We are here to help.
- 53:07Do you know? Anybody where you now say to
- 53:10yourself, they're, they're fixated on Savannah Guthrie or
- 53:17they're fixated on the Today show or they're, you know, they,
- 53:21because it could be beyond something other than just
- 53:24wanting a ransom. That's all I'm saying.
- 53:27I'm not saying it is this. I'm saying, could this help
- 53:31people to start thinking, wait a minute, maybe there is somebody,
- 53:37maybe there is a little detail that I heard or I talked to
- 53:40somebody that might give us more or it might give us a clue.
- 53:45OK, let's let's go over to your comments on this.
- 53:48I'd love to hear what you guys are thinking.
- 53:50Let me refresh. Let's see.
- 53:58See, Magic 22 says I believe Angie was at the least
- 54:02unconscious when taken from her house.
- 54:05Mooney brought up like the guy who killed John Lennon.
- 54:07Exactly. Yeah.
- 54:11A certain YouTube. Creator that's been in the news
- 54:13is now casting suspicion on Savannah's brother Cameron.
- 54:17Unbelievable. We should not be doing that,
- 54:19guys. And yeah, Lee brings it up.
- 54:23The definition of parasocial, that definition of parasocial is
- 54:26too limited. It doesn't just apply to
- 54:29celebrity, right? It it could, it could apply to
- 54:32just somebody that you're crushing on and and don't have
- 54:35the confidence to talk. It could apply to so many
- 54:38people. The key is that it's one sided.
- 54:40Very, very, very good. Robin.
- 54:44Says some of us are just plum strange.
- 54:48Pooh's blustery. Day says.
- 54:51Will we ever find out what happened to Nancy?
- 54:53Man, I hope so. But I think that the odds are
- 54:56that we won't. Scotch's mom.
- 55:03Says as Emily D Baker says, don't go real world and show up
- 55:06at someone's house. Yeah, I remember I was watching
- 55:09this creator who I I really enjoy his stuff.
- 55:12He's a blacksmith. Most of the creators I watch on
- 55:15social media are in the makerspace, right?
- 55:17They're blacksmiths or woodworkers or, you know, some,
- 55:22some other kind of Potters. I, I like people that build
- 55:26stuff. I think it's cool auto
- 55:28mechanics. But yeah, there was this, there
- 55:31was this creator who, who I, I still enjoy to this day.
- 55:35I watch him all the time who was renovating his house.
- 55:39And I was like, dude on his behalf.
- 55:43In my mind, I was just like, don't show him where you live,
- 55:46man. Don't show him your front door.
- 55:49Right. Like because most people are
- 55:52healthy, some people are not. Ohio Palm mom.
- 55:56Great comment. The Slender Man case is a good
- 55:59example of a fictional character fixation.
- 56:04I was going to see if I have. I was going to bring.
- 56:09That one up, but I I think I think I got rid of the button
- 56:13hobby. I got rid of that button.
- 56:14Sorry, man, Let's see. I'm just going to keep on.
- 56:21I think we might. I think I just saw.
- 56:26Zoe Saldana's name, I can't remember, but I think I did as
- 56:31it as it went through. Yeah.
- 56:34Slender Man Case. Yeah.
- 56:37He also injured Reagan's press secretary, Jim Brady.
- 56:39Yeah. And.
- 56:40And that changed. I mean, that changed so much.
- 56:43Brady Laws is named after Jim Brady.
- 56:45In fact, that's who I was thinking of.
- 56:47He, he was his press secretary, not one of his Secret Service
- 56:51detail. Thank you for that, Robert, the
- 56:57ruse says. I I followed.
- 57:01Former Scientology channels and after a couple of blow UPS
- 57:03between some of the host viewers went absolutely crazy supporting
- 57:071 and demonizing the other and their supporters.
- 57:09Yeah, don't, don't get caught up in that.
- 57:12Don't get in fact any cult of personality is a bad idea and I
- 57:17don't want to get I. Don't want to get political?
- 57:20So I'm not going to but any. Any any of that?
- 57:27Is is bad Cha Cha says. Have you seen Ashley Banfield
- 57:32video with Gray? Forgot his last name.
- 57:34Anyways, dig today a map of the house and anyways because I
- 57:40always been curious about the back doors not following you cha
- 57:43cha. But no I have not seen that.
- 57:45Lisa says this was a crime of opportunity.
- 57:48They had to know of the unlocked back door.
- 57:50Did Nancy share this with fire, EMS, contractors, electricians?
- 57:55I don't know that it was unlocked.
- 57:56Was it unlocked? I don't know, Debbie says.
- 58:03Misses. Guthrie is active on her
- 58:05community chat. Jules and say.
- 58:09Jules and me are saying Gavin, Javi, Wanda.
- 58:11Yes, Javi is he is my chief toggle toggler, Nob Turner and
- 58:19button pusher and Wanda is she does all of the music for the
- 58:23show with the exception of the theme song, which is my
- 58:27composition. But Wanda, she just every once
- 58:30in a while, if I need some music like Wanda, give me, give me
- 58:35like a pluck. Wanda, Wanda, she had fallen
- 58:38asleep. Hang on a second.
- 58:39Give me some sort of plucky kind of theme music, something like
- 58:43that. Let's hear it.
- 58:47See, she's so good and she'll just keep going.
- 58:50She's got like 6 arms. She can play multiple
- 58:52instruments at the same time. She'll get into percussion
- 58:55sometimes. She has like one of those Dick
- 58:57Van Dyke things for Mary Poppins.
- 59:01She's great. So, yeah, Wanda's our musician,
- 59:04our resident musician, Javi is like he's our button pusher.
- 59:07He's our director of, of buttons, toggles, switches and
- 59:13knobs. I think Lucy Fair Gavin, not
- 59:16sure if this fits the definition, but I have a
- 59:18neighbor I've cut off contact with because she had the idea
- 59:22that we were closer than we were unwanted, unexpected knocks at
- 59:26the door, gifts, etcetera. Yeah, I, yeah, I think that
- 59:29might, that might qualify too. Anyway guys.
- 59:36I I just. Yeah, what?
- 59:38What do we take away from from this conversation about Nancy
- 59:41Guthrie? One, we don't want to be.
- 59:46Well, let's back up. We want to temper our
- 59:49speculation with compassion, with humanity, as the Reiner
- 59:53family asked us so beautifully in the wake of their murders.
- 59:59We don't. Want to pile on to the to the
- 1:00:03Guthrie family or any family of any victim and we want to try to
- 1:00:10help solve this and we might be able to do so by just like
- 1:00:14jogging our memory. Do we know of somebody who might
- 1:00:17fit the bill of having a one sided pseudo relationship?
- 1:00:22This parasocial relationship with Savannah Guthrie or the
- 1:00:25Today show it's. I'm not saying that.
- 1:00:29This is what happened. I'm just saying it's a
- 1:00:31possibility and with deep appreciation to Nan Shirley, who
- 1:00:36brought that up in the tank. OK, Now I told you that we have
- 1:00:41a couple of other headlines to get to that are important for
- 1:00:44today, including an update on the Kirby Carpenter case, an
- 1:00:48update on Harvey Weinstein, an update on Emmanuel Harrow.
- 1:00:52But before we do that, let's get into three questions.
- 1:01:02OK, in. This segment, guys, I answer
- 1:01:05three of your questions that you send to me at the e-mail address
- 1:01:08shown on your screen, which is 3 questions at gavinfish.com.
- 1:01:11It is spelled out THREE questions, three questions at
- 1:01:16gavinfish.com. Maybe the most common question I
- 1:01:18get is does this e-mail work like you're fishing for a
- 1:01:22response? Yeah, the e-mail.
- 1:01:24Works. It's just three questions at
- 1:01:26gavinfish.com. You'll know it's not working if
- 1:01:29it bounces. You can ask any.
- 1:01:33Question you want. Nothing is off the table.
- 1:01:35Everything indeed is on the table.
- 1:01:37And I will answer 3 questions at a time.
- 1:01:41And they can be as deep as the mysteries of the universe or
- 1:01:49they can just be funny little questions.
- 1:01:51And tonight I think we've got mostly funny little questions.
- 1:01:55Bonus points for questions that others can answer in the
- 1:01:58comments. I love hearing your, your
- 1:02:00comments, comments on this. So question number one comes
- 1:02:03from Jennifer. In fact, I think Jennifer made
- 1:02:05two questions this time. Jennifer.
- 1:02:08Jennifer asks what's the story behind the Lionfish video clip?
- 1:02:12That is this clip right here. Yeah, so.
- 1:02:18Jennifer, listen, this is what has been happening to me lately.
- 1:02:25I get it in my. Mind that I need to yawn.
- 1:02:27I'm not tired. I I think it's because I'm
- 1:02:31talking so quickly, talking too much, that I'm not breathing
- 1:02:35properly. And so while.
- 1:02:39I'm live streaming. I get into these yawn fits and
- 1:02:43it bothers me and I don't want to be yawning in your face.
- 1:02:46And So what I do is I just, I cover it up.
- 1:02:49With the. Yawning.
- 1:02:52Roaring. Lionfish.
- 1:02:55And that's what I've just decided to do.
- 1:02:57That's. That's what it is.
- 1:03:00Thanks for the question. And thank you for being a new
- 1:03:02viewer. Appreciate that.
- 1:03:04Or I'm assuming you are. John asks what was your?
- 1:03:09Favorite primetime television program growing up?
- 1:03:12OK, I want to hear your answers to this one.
- 1:03:17OK, depends. On.
- 1:03:19The era of me growing up when I was younger, I.
- 1:03:24Would say before. Maybe my freshman year in high
- 1:03:28school. I loved.
- 1:03:30A night court. I don't think I got.
- 1:03:34It, I just loved it. Maybe the laugh track did it for
- 1:03:37me. Plus marquee post.
- 1:03:39That's fun to look at. Marquee post, 1980s marquee
- 1:03:42post. Come on.
- 1:03:45And it was a fun show. I loved MASH.
- 1:03:48I loved, loved loved MASH. I loved Cheers.
- 1:03:53I loved Wings. I loved Newhart.
- 1:03:56In fact, one of the. One of the gripes?
- 1:04:00That I have against my parents and this isn't this is like my
- 1:04:05parents are terrific people and there's very little to nitpick
- 1:04:09over with my parents. They they were terrific, but
- 1:04:13they made me go to bed and miss the finale of Newhart, one of my
- 1:04:20favorite shows. I had to go to bed and I missed
- 1:04:23Newhart. I had to check it in reruns
- 1:04:25during the summer. Oh my goodness, it was
- 1:04:28heartbreaking. But then when we get a little
- 1:04:31bit later into my life, my prime time TV programming was Star
- 1:04:37Trek the Next Generation, Star Trek Deeps to Base 9, Beverly
- 1:04:41Hills 9-O21-O, Melrose Place 9-O21-O.
- 1:04:45That happened to be the same class.
- 1:04:47They were the class of 1993 in high school.
- 1:04:49So they, they went through high school at the same time that I
- 1:04:53did. So I felt this Speaking of para
- 1:04:56parasocial relationships, I felt this kinship to this to these,
- 1:05:00to these characters. And then later on, I really, I,
- 1:05:06I didn't see this in prime time, but I watched it later.
- 1:05:09I love Twin Peaks. Loved.
- 1:05:11Loved, loved Twin Peaks. So yeah.
- 1:05:16I guess that tells you a little bit about my, my preferences, I
- 1:05:24guess. And then question #3 again from
- 1:05:26Jennifer, same, Jennifer. But I thought this was a great,
- 1:05:29great question. OK.
- 1:05:32And and I. Want your answers Like if you
- 1:05:35could change your name, what would you change it to?
- 1:05:40Now. Jennifer, this is another gripe
- 1:05:43that I have to with my parents, OK, my parents.
- 1:05:48Just and I. Love them, Heaven loves them,
- 1:05:50the world loves them. They're the best.
- 1:05:54They named me one thing and called me another.
- 1:05:58My my given name is not well, it is given to me, but my first
- 1:06:04name is not Gavin. Gavin is my middle name.
- 1:06:08They named me. After my father, my first name
- 1:06:11is my dad's name, but they didn't want a junior so they
- 1:06:15gave me a different middle name from my dad.
- 1:06:18And. And then from day one, like,
- 1:06:21well, probably before that, I think they had me named back in
- 1:06:24those days that they couldn't tell if they're going to have a
- 1:06:27boy or a girl before said boy or girl was born, right?
- 1:06:31So they had names picked out. And when it turned out that I
- 1:06:34was a little macho young man, they named me what they named
- 1:06:39me, but they were always going to call me by my middle name.
- 1:06:44And I, that is just it. The world is not is still not
- 1:06:49ready for a person who goes by a name other than their first
- 1:06:53name. So.
- 1:06:56Could I change my name? I could change.
- 1:07:00My name. But I won't because #1.
- 1:07:06And this is. The most important one.
- 1:07:08It gives me something to complain about with my parents.
- 1:07:16And #2 over the years. I have just come to be very
- 1:07:21grateful that I am named after my dad and in my family, all of
- 1:07:26my siblings. In fact, my my baby sister is
- 1:07:29one of the admins of the fish tank.
- 1:07:31You'll see her over there. Her name is Tiffany.
- 1:07:34She goes by Tiff, but all of us have been given very meaningful
- 1:07:42names. And.
- 1:07:44In my case, I'm named after my father and I'm grateful to be
- 1:07:48named after him and I want to keep it exactly the way it is,
- 1:07:51but I want to keep complaining about it.
- 1:07:53That's just me. Having said all of that, I used
- 1:07:59to work in high end audio and there was a guy who was a
- 1:08:01founder of a loudspeaker company.
- 1:08:06Whose? First name is Alon.
- 1:08:08ALON, not Alon. It's pronounced Alon, and his
- 1:08:15last name is Wolf. The man's name.
- 1:08:19The man's given name. Is a.
- 1:08:22Lone wolf. So if I could change my name, it
- 1:08:25would be to something like that. Hello, my name is a lone wolf.
- 1:08:29Oh. That's.
- 1:08:30Like talk about the most powerful name crying out loud.
- 1:08:34That is so much better than Gavin Fish.
- 1:08:38Crying out loud. A lone wolf.
- 1:08:42Oh, what about like from Air Wolf?
- 1:08:46Do you remember Stringfellow Hawk?
- 1:08:48My name is Stringfellow Hawk. Oh, what a great name.
- 1:08:52Yes, I guess I would. I would change it to something
- 1:08:56like Stringfellow Hawk or a lone wolf or something like that.
- 1:08:58It would. It would be glorious.
- 1:09:01Now I want to hear your answers to these questions.
- 1:09:03Let's recap them real quick. Let's.
- 1:09:06See Lionfish you don't really care about but prime time TV
- 1:09:09programming. What did you like to watch
- 1:09:11growing up? And if you could change your
- 1:09:13name, what would you change it to?
- 1:09:15And while you are working out your little thumbs on your
- 1:09:18keyboards, let's hop into today's headlines.
- 1:09:22Here we go. True crime.
- 1:09:30Headlines, Okie. Dokie, a couple of headlines
- 1:09:33that I want to bring to you. This is an important one.
- 1:09:38Jeffrey Spence has been found guilty in the murder of Kirby
- 1:09:42Carpenter. This written by Tanya Carter
- 1:09:44from WTVA Dateline, Pittsboro, Ms. A jury found Jeffrey Spence
- 1:09:49guilty of first degree murder. The jury announced the verdict
- 1:09:53this very afternoon and a judge sentenced him to life in prison.
- 1:09:58Spence was on trial for the December 2022 death of his
- 1:10:01daughter's boyfriend, Kirby Carpenter in Tippa County,
- 1:10:04Mississippi. This was his second trial.
- 1:10:07A judge declared a mistrial in the first trial, which happened
- 1:10:10in 2025 in Pontotoc County. After the jury was deadlocked
- 1:10:1666, authorities arrested Jeffrey Spence, his wife Karen Spence,
- 1:10:19and his daughter Caitlin Spence. Caitlin struck a deal in April
- 1:10:232025 to testify against her father.
- 1:10:25Her mother accepted a plea deal a week before the start of the
- 1:10:28first trial. Today's verdict followed a
- 1:10:31bizarre situation involving involving court TV and a leaked
- 1:10:35live stream of the proceedings. OK, but anyway, this one is one
- 1:10:43that we have been following. This is a family that I am in
- 1:10:46touch with. While this is no cause for
- 1:10:50celebration because they have lost their son, their brother,
- 1:10:55their uncle, their father. It is.
- 1:11:02It is as close. To justice as we can get on this
- 1:11:05earth. And I am I'm.
- 1:11:09Sending my. Love out to his family, you guys
- 1:11:13are the best. And they have.
- 1:11:16Shown so much grace during this whole thing.
- 1:11:19Guys, I can't even tell you headline #2 this written by
- 1:11:25Christian Casares for NBCLA published this very day.
- 1:11:30The headline reads Emmanuel Harrow case as mother appears in
- 1:11:34court on murder charge. It has been seven months since 7
- 1:11:38month old Emmanuel Harrow was first reported missing in the
- 1:11:41Inland Empire. The Inland Empire being San
- 1:11:43Bernardino County and Riverside County in Southern California,
- 1:11:48and his mother, Rebecca Harrow appeared in court Thursday
- 1:11:51yesterday after being charged with murder.
- 1:11:54Rebecca Harrow, 41, was seen in court with her hair covering her
- 1:11:58face as the case moved forward to trial four months after her
- 1:12:02husband Jake was sentenced to life in prison.
- 1:12:06I think I have, yeah. Here.
- 1:12:09Here is a photo of Rebecca Harrow.
- 1:12:12Here is Jake Harrow and this is the little kiddo Emmanuel
- 1:12:20horror. So Jake was.
- 1:12:23Sentenced to life in prison for second degree murder, filing a
- 1:12:26false police report and assault on a child.
- 1:12:29Quote he destroyed. My family, my children, the
- 1:12:33boy's grandmother, Mary, I think it's Beauchausal, said outside
- 1:12:38the courtroom, adding that she had asked the judge to show no
- 1:12:40mercy during her son in law's sentencing.
- 1:12:43He never gave me a chance to see my grandchildren and kept my
- 1:12:45daughter away. This has been horrible for us.
- 1:12:47So anyway, they are continuing the search for the body of
- 1:12:53little Emmanuel. It has not been found yet.
- 1:12:56And then finally, headline from AM New York written by Max
- 1:13:02Parrott. This was published yesterday.
- 1:13:05Headline rings. Luigi Mangione trial scheduling
- 1:13:08puzzle throws Weinstein's third, let's call it SA trial in limbo
- 1:13:16Unsettled Louisiana Luigi Mangioni trial dates are
- 1:13:20wreaking havoc on the schedule of Harvey Weinstein's looming
- 1:13:24retrial. Since Weinstein took up the same
- 1:13:26defense counsel as Mangioni in late February, the uncertainty
- 1:13:30around Mangioni's dueling trial dates for the stalking and
- 1:13:33shooting of United Healthcare CEO in both federal and state
- 1:13:37court has now spread to Weinstein's planned third
- 1:13:41appearance before a Manhattan jury on SA charges.
- 1:13:45Weinstein's trial is as of now, slated to begin April 14th, but
- 1:13:49that might change if Weinstein's latest legal team has its way.
- 1:13:54They're hoping they'll be able to shift Weinstein's date back.
- 1:13:59And we will see. That's lot going out on in New
- 1:14:05York, and those guys are your old headlines.
- 1:14:15True crime. Headlines, OK.
- 1:14:19Let's just check in to see on what you guys are saying for for
- 1:14:28this final little bit here. Real quick.
- 1:14:30Jenny says I am not a new viewer law.
- 1:14:33Oh, I had the e-mail drafted for a while before I came up with
- 1:14:36all my questions. OK.
- 1:14:38Well, good, good. Well, Jenny, you helped the new
- 1:14:40viewers. I'm glad.
- 1:14:42Thank you very much. Scotch's mom all in the family
- 1:14:45was was a good one. Kimber says we must be the same
- 1:14:50age. Let's see, see, see.
- 1:14:53See, Mooney says, My stepfather controlled the TV, so I didn't
- 1:14:57watch too much growing up. I was outside sun up to some
- 1:15:00sundown or was working well, Good, good job.
- 1:15:07Jenny says. We always watch Wheel of Fortune
- 1:15:09followed by Jeopardy. In my house, growing up from
- 1:15:117:00 to 8:00 PM Eastern, I used to be fixated on Jeopardy.
- 1:15:17I always thought that I was a great Jeopardy home player.
- 1:15:23Diddly squat the trouble with Tribbles, Star Trek.
- 1:15:26My brother named our cat Tribble after that.
- 1:15:28So you're a little bit older than me if you saw that in prime
- 1:15:31time. Prime time.
- 1:15:32But yeah, that's a classic. Let's.
- 1:15:36See. Oh Cha Cha was referring to Gray
- 1:15:39Hughes. OK, Yeah, I've not seen that.
- 1:15:43Scottish mom says my name is Melissa.
- 1:15:45I'm happy with my name. Good.
- 1:15:48Penguin says I would. Change my last name to Miracle
- 1:15:51because I read there were only 5 people in the world with that
- 1:15:53last name. I wanted to increase that
- 1:15:55population. Jules and me.
- 1:15:58Says I was not given a middle name that that used to be a very
- 1:16:01traditional thing. My wife was not given a middle
- 1:16:05name and it became her middle name when we got married and she
- 1:16:09changed her name to Fish, Reluctantly, reluctantly.
- 1:16:12It was. It's kind of a funny story.
- 1:16:15And and I had no dog in that hunt at all.
- 1:16:19Like if she wanted to keep her name, I, I didn't feel I, I
- 1:16:23didn't feel strongly one way or the other long as she was happy.
- 1:16:26But when we got pregnant with our first daughter, she decided
- 1:16:30with our first child, a daughter, she decided that she
- 1:16:34wanted to have the same last name as me and our child.
- 1:16:37So she changed it, and her last name, her maiden name, became
- 1:16:42her. Middle name.
- 1:16:43I love it, Archangel says The nanny.
- 1:16:46Lot of laughter and funny situations.
- 1:16:48Yes, indeed, Jenny says. I couldn't imagine any other
- 1:16:53name for myself. Emmy says I would.
- 1:16:57Legally change my name to Emmy or Emily.
- 1:17:01That's a good one, Robert. The ruse.
- 1:17:03I've been wanting to change my name so bad for years.
- 1:17:06But it's not a simple process and you have to be a resident
- 1:17:09for a year before you can. OK.
- 1:17:13All right, Kimbrough's Ohio says 3's company, hands down.
- 1:17:17That's good stuff. Jules and me, Dallas, who shot
- 1:17:21Jr. I remember that.
- 1:17:24I was I was on the younger side, but I remember that.
- 1:17:27Yeah, Robin says. Now, you got me thinking of when
- 1:17:30Bart Simpson would call MO's Bar and he'd ask for someone, but
- 1:17:34they were slightly inappropriate names.
- 1:17:35Then MO said it out loud. Yes.
- 1:17:39Good stuff. Intrepid, Fraidycat says.
- 1:17:43I always wanted to change my name to Daphne from scooby-doo.
- 1:17:47Good stuff. Ohio Palm mom.
- 1:17:49I know I liked WKRP in Cincinnati.
- 1:17:51Herb Tarlich, Classic, classic Taxi and Hill Street Blues.
- 1:17:58Oh man, I wish we knew where baby Emmanuel is.
- 1:18:03It's it's tough. That's a tough one.
- 1:18:05And last one coming in at the end, Debbie says The Golden
