  Speaker 4: house and a third co host to sleeping on the
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: job that we created with our bodies. Colby, how are you.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Excellent? Sleep deprived? Yeah, probably not as much as you.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I think we're about equal because I get some naps
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: in during the day.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Heck about the normal amount of sleep deprived?
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly, Well, thank you for joining me for this
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: bonus episode. It's been a couple of weeks. We've taken
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: some time off and in the meantime we got a
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: chance to binge watch the New ed Gian on Netflix,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: and I thought we could talk a little bit about
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: that in this series because they through a little mental
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: institution action in there.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Well and just flat out mental illness.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Schizophrenia our favorite topic. Although I never read that the
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: real Edgie in was schizophrenic. I don't know if that's
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: something they just added.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Well, they did add a lot and didn't include some stuff.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: If you haven't watched it, I don't know how much
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: we're going to talk about as far as spoilers go.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: What shocks you most about him?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: How did he do it? What was his childhood like?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Now I'd like to show you something worse.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: You're working too fast.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, mother, Just go.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Slow and steady, take your time, sweet boy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, I like to just give out all the spoilers.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: If you haven't watched it, you need to. It took
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: us two days with a new baby, so you have
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: no excuse, is that it?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's three, but maybe times time is a
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: flat circle when you're a new parent.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Right. The last two weeks has felt like one long
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: ass fucking day to me.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, since we got back from the hospital, Julia hasn't
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: left the house.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but I wanted to watch that anyways, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I feel like with all this extra time that we have,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: it it was a good time to do it. We
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: watched another one called Late Night with the Devil on Hulu.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Don't watch it, We're due.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I'd heard a lot of hype around it, especially in
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the conspiracy circles, but ended up being kind of a
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: polished turd that got less polished as the film progressed.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah. But so the reason that we bring up Edgian
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: is because I wanted to talk about serial killers who
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: may or may not have been programmed within mental institutions.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and it really I think we had already
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: brought him up at one point in this series. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: don't remember when, but we were talking maybe it was
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the pop culture one. We're talking about how he had
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: influenced Psycho, Texas Chainsaw massacre and Silence of the Lambs,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And from what I understand, it's not even concrete that
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: it really did inspire the Texas chainsaw massacre. I've seen
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: some I don't know. Is that guy dead now, Toby
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Toby Hooper, I don't know. But anyway, I kind of
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: thought it was cool the way they interlaced all that
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: stuff going on. I thought they got a little carried
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: away with the Anthony Perkins side story. But you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Ryan Murphy likes to gay it up however he can,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: so it does focus a lot on the sexuality of
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Anthony Perkins.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: And there's even a dance number.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: There's a few. But yeah, I mean, all in all,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I did like it. I can understand some of the
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: gripes about it. I've watched a few reviews, just doing
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: dishes here and there. I'll throw one on and I've
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: actually learned a lot about the real ed gain like
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: the girl. And you don't know this yet, I watched
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: a video today, So right after and Adeline is a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: character that almost becomes a main character in an episode
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: or two. And she is a neighbor who in the
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the Netflix series, they had a decade two decade long relationship.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: In a weird way, he had proposed to her. So
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the thing is a lot of people thought that was
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: all bullshit, but that was taken from an interview she
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: gave right after he was arrested.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: She said she told him to fuck dead bodies.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: That part no, But she came out and said that
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they had a twenty year long relationship and that he
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: proposed to her and that she said no because she
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: thought she was too dark for him. So she gives
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: this interview in nineteen fifty seven, right and in the
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: video I'm watching this guy totally thought, well, I'll tell
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: it first. But so in nineteen fifty nine, she does
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: a second interview with a different publication and says that
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the story that they ran in fifty seven was inaccurate
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: and highly exaggerated. But it seems like Ryan Murphy did
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: take a lot of this love story that he threw
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: in there from that interview that she gave initially, do.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: You think she was just trying to get her ten
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: minutes or whatever they.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Say that could be, and then she decided to take
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: it back. Another possibility is that whoever, I don't remember
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: what publication it was, if it was some local Wisconsin
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: thing or more of a national thing, but either way,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: they could have taken liberties themselves and she went to
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: set the record straight. But in my mind, you wouldn't
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: wait two years to do that. Another thing is maybe
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: she was getting unwanted and negative attention and so she
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: decided to say, actually, we only had about a seven
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: month relationship. I never actually I actually never even went
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: and never went into his home. But at first she
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: was saying it was more like what the movie presents.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I recommend watching it with an open mind,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: understand that this isn't going to be like the Dahmer Monster,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the initials the Dahmer.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, they knocked it out of the park,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: and now they're just like, I don't know a lot
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: of people like the Menindez Brothers one. You know, my
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: cousin liked it. I think my sister liked it too,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: But this this ed Yeean one. As I was watching it,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: all I could think in the back of my head
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: is most of this stuff is fucked made up because
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: they didn't have enough information even on the real guy,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: to make like they could have taken the information available,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and it's, like you said, made three episodes out of
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: it because there's just not a lot known about it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now that I've seen the whole thing, I'm almost
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: glad they didn't. I thought the way they kind of
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: focused at the end of the series on him being
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: this big help to the FBI and catching Ted Bundy,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: with there's no record of that whatsoever, that in fact
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: they tried to take like the Ted Bundy helping catch
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: the Green River Killer, which also inspired Silence of the Lambs.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: It's almost like this fucking thing is art imitating life.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Imitating art imitating life.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Like it's a.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Weird, trippy meta reality and you feel schizophrenic watching it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: And it jumps around in time in weird ways, not
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: like not like pulp fiction or anything like that, or Memento,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: but it just does weird tricks and it does make
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: you feel like, well, what the fuck is real? And
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: you know, I would say, just watch it and maybe
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: leave a comment. Yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: We both gave it eight out of ten. Nipple belts.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I rated it higher than I
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: thought I would all said and done, but I would
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: say Dahmer is a ten. I never watched the Menendez
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Brothers one.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: This one's a night. The guy, I will say, though,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: the actor who's playing ed Gian is really a fantastic Yeah. Mother.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: He does this weird thing with his voice.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Almost sounds Irish to me at times, a weird accent.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I watched one guy. What is he in real life?
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Is he British?
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: No, let's look him up.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Broke.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: You remember he was in Crimson Peak. He had an
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: eight that he had an American accent.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but doesn't mean he's not British in real life.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Let's look it up because I know that he's criticized
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: for the earlier seasons of Sons of Anarchy. What's his name,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Charlie something.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I just know him from Crimson Peak.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: He's a good looking guy.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: He looks just like the real ed Gian Charlie Hunnam.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: See he doesn't really have the Forest Whittker eye.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but the way they did him up, he really
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: looked like him. And just so you know, I was
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: planning on talking to JJ vance about this because we both.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: He is from the UK, so yeah, his accent sometimes
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: is a bit off. He I'm curious about whether or
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: not the director or Ryan Murphy or Charlie himself decided
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: to take this weird route with the voice. But it's creepy,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: but it's also like they do want you to know
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: that this guy is a kind soul despite it all.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Say I was gonna say something about that, actually, but
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I was gonna ask JJ about this because in Program
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: to Kill Dave McGowan makes a really compelling case that
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: a lot like Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, even Jeffrey Dahmer,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: that ed Gean didn't actually ever kill anybody, and he
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: was sure guilty of necrophilia like he would go dig
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: up dead people out of the graveyard and bring them
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: back home and make nipple belts and furniture and shit
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: out of them. But there's no actual evidence that he
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: ever murdered anyone. But there is a satanic cult that
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: operates out of Wisconsin in and around the area where
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Jeffrey Dahmer and ed Geian were living.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it does seem to me like fuckery is afoot. Granted,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: this woman hardware store owner was found strung up in
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: his barn.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Whether there's no evidence he did.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: It, yeah, and he maintained his innocence, but he did
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: go down for he admitted to killing two people. But
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: he also got a confession beat out of him by
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: the local sheriff, so these things are inadmissible.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: He's a Henry Lee Lucas though he's like a simple
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: minded guy like Henry Lee Lucas was doing stuff too.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: He and he definitely killed his mom and his girlfriend.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: But is he really guilty of all the stuff they
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: pinned on him? I don't think so. Just like with
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: ed Gian, it's like, yeah, they literally, you said, the
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: sheriff like knocked his fucking block off, and then all
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: of a sudden he was like, okay, yeah, sure, I
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: killed him.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: And then the sheriff promptly dies of a heart attack
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: after they couldn't admit the the.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Sheriff died of the heart I told you that I
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: thought you said ed Gean died of the heart attack.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: No, ed Gean lived till he was eighty something, right
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: in jail. No, in the just like in the show,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: but the sheriff. So yeah, now I'll explain this to
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: you because I thought.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I thought you said that, sheriff.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: And in the show, they for some reason make the
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: son of the victim, the woman strung up at the barn,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: They make her son the deputy that beats the ship
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: out of ed Geane. That wasn't in any way accurate.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: But the sheriff himself did beat ed during confession, so
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: it was inadmissible. And then he turns around and dies
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: of a heart attack, and they say the whole thing
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: just fucked him up, finding all that ship in Ed's house,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the nipple belts and the foreskin lamps, the dried wolves
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: that he would uses pasties around his little willie. But
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: it's just as weird to me that that guy died
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the way he died. It's almost like maybe he knew
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: something or he was going to talk. You know, it's
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: just weird that these programmed killings were happening that far back.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: But think about this, right, they say that ed Gian
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: went crazy because he saw pitchers of World War two
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: and all this stuff. I don't think anybody really knows
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: what the fuck's going on. I don't think he actually
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: ever killed anyone. I think he was a simple minded
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: guy that lived in town. That was his mom or
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: his family members were somehow involved in this cult that
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: would drop dead bodies off at his house and he
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: would do weird shit with him. But what I will
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: say is, after watching all those seasons of American Horror Story,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: especially the one that we just watched, Cult and like
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: putting all the pieces together about Ryan Murphy and what's
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: his fuck what's the other guy's name, Brad Paul Chuck, Yeah,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: they know something right, and now they're.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Doing I mean, we did talk about their rise from
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Glee to being the harbinger of On the Nose conspiracy candy.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Mm hm, and now they're doing these serial killer things.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: It's like the program to kill SEO.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but well there's a line in the so he
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: has this whole fantasy in his head. He has this
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: nurse sneak of the ham radio and he thinks he's
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: talking to these people, and he's talking to this Nazi
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: woman and she flat out says the Program to Kill Playbook, Yeah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: they need a monster, and they create us around, accusing
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: us of things we didn't do. I mean, yeah, they
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: know something. But he's almost Ryan Murphy's almost like fuck
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you with this in my mind because he got criticized
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: for humanizing Dahmer too much. Wow, he got criticized for
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: the glorification of these things, and in the end of
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: this ed Geen one, he's actually like rubbing it in
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: even harder, like the glorification all these serial killers supposedly influenced.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I think the last episodes called the Godfather. Yeah, he's
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: like the Godfather of serial killers, even though technically, even
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: the mainstream narrative, he's not a serial killer. He went
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: down for murdering two people, convicted of murdering one, and.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: The rest were just fucking dead body.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing, it's almost like if the Program to
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Kill Playbook is in full swing already at this point,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: they found this guy digging up bodies. They saw his intrigue.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Maybe this taxi are me hobby of his, wasn't just
• 19:02
