Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / FBI Desperate to Take Over Case Amid Growing Frustration | What Happened to Nancy Guthrie?
Transcript
- 0:01I don't know about you, but I certainly am feeling frustration
- 0:05over the Nancy Guthrie case. We are well past 2 1/2 weeks
- 0:11into the missing person case of the 84 year old Mother of Today
- 0:17Show Co host Nancy or Savannah Guthrie.
- 0:23Gavin Javi, can I take, can I get a take two on that?
- 0:26We can, we can edit that out in post, right?
- 0:28OK. I am beyond frustrated with this
- 0:31case. We're in our third week coming
- 0:36up on our fourth week and 84 year old Nancy Guthrie, the
- 0:40mother of Savannah Guthrie, the Co host of NB CS Today show is
- 0:45still nowhere to be found. And according to some reports,
- 0:49it's not just people like me and you that are frustrated.
- 0:53It's the FBI that is frustrated. It is the employees of the Pima
- 0:58County Sheriff's Department that is frustrated.
- 1:00I imagine that all of Nancy Guthrie's loved ones are.
- 1:05Are. Frustrated at this point, one of
- 1:08the things that saddens me is that I have noticed that today
- 1:12is the first day where NBC News is not showing live updates.
- 1:20Neither is CNN, and it just feels like people are starting
- 1:26to give up. But there may be a silver
- 1:29lining. There may be.
- 1:31That pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
- 1:34And we're going to talk about it next.
- 1:36Stick with me. This video contains mature
- 1:50themes and discussions intended only for adult audiences.
- 1:54Viewer discretion is advised. Hello there my friend and
- 2:00welcome back. To another true crime
- 2:02conversation with me, Gavin Fish, thank you so much for
- 2:05joining me and wherever you're joining me from, I'm sure it is
- 2:10a delightful, delightful place. Use your creativity and tell me
- 2:15in the comments in the live chat, if you're on here on
- 2:18YouTube during the live stream or in the comments on Spotify or
- 2:22in the rewatch crew. Tell me where you're tuning in
- 2:25from. But but do it creatively.
- 2:28All right, This is our romper room moment and I just, I just
- 2:32want to see how clever you guys are.
- 2:34I know you're clever. You guys are all bright.
- 2:37But what are we talking about today?
- 2:39Today we are talking about the missing person case of Nancy
- 2:43Guthrie. As I said in the old cold open
- 2:47now I have kind of shield away from conversations that have
- 2:55been widely reported and very well reported by and there I go
- 3:01again doing the what is it the the pilot announcements of?
- 3:06Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking today.
- 3:09We're going to be cruising at 38,000.
- 3:11Feet. Yeah, I got to stop that.
- 3:14I got to stop that. I almost did.
- 3:18It again just after I corrected myself.
- 3:20OK, it has been pretty widely reported that members of the
- 3:27staff of the Pima County Sheriff's Department are unhappy
- 3:30with the leadership of Sheriff Nanos.
- 3:35Now, I mean, we kind of have to take this with a grain of salt
- 3:39because I mean, who is happy with their boss?
- 3:45Who is ever 100% happy with their boss?
- 3:48I once worked for a guy who I highly, I mean, I just deeply
- 3:53loved and respected and still I would come home at the end of
- 3:57the day and Kimberly would get an earful of all of my
- 4:00complaints of the day. So we have to we have to take
- 4:04this with a grain of salt. However, I kind of feel like
- 4:11it's starting to it's starting to bloom, right?
- 4:17How would we say this like we are starting to proof this, this
- 4:23dough is doubling in size, it's getting bigger and we are we're
- 4:28hearing more and more specifically we're hearing that
- 4:31the FBI might be really frustrated with Sheriff Nanos.
- 4:37And one of the pieces of information that was reported by
- 4:41Brian Enten last week when he talked with a former under
- 4:45sheriff of Sheriff Nanos was that Sheriff Nanos.
- 4:49And and this is not my opinion. This is not my reporting of
- 4:54factual events. It's just me repeating what this
- 4:57under sheriff said in his interview.
- 4:59He characterized Sheriff Nanos as vindictive and had and that
- 5:04he had a negative experience from his point of view with the
- 5:10FBI. Now he just doesn't want to play
- 5:12nice now. And I've steered away from this.
- 5:15But again, this dough is proofing, it is getting bigger
- 5:18and bigger and bigger, and we are going to get into that in
- 5:22just a minute. First, let's check in to see
- 5:25where you guys are from. What do we got?
- 5:30Wait a minute, whose birthday is it today?
- 5:35It says Nancy Cornett. Today is my birthday. 85.
- 5:40Nancy. Happy birthday, my goodness, and
- 5:43thank you for being here 85 years.
- 5:46I bet you could tell us some stories, man. 80 Somebody do
- 5:49some quick math for me. That is what is that 19411942?
- 5:56Is that what it is, guys? Somebody check my math.
- 5:59We're going to carry the one. It's 2026 right now.
- 6:04We're going to subtract. 851941 is the year of the birth of
- 6:11Nancy Cornett. She is roughly the same age as
- 6:16Nancy Guthrie. By the way. 1941 man, pre baby
- 6:21boom. That's pretty cool.
- 6:24Congratulations and thank you for watching.
- 6:27So glad that you are here. Coffee time for Dee Gavin.
- 6:32I am from the city that allows you from one of our beautiful

- 6:42I believe you're in the state of Georgia.
- 6:46I believe I have to. Isn't that called Lookout

- 8:41birthday to Nancy. I'm glad.
- 8:43I'm glad you joined us on your birthday.
- 8:46Okie, Dokie, everybody. Let's hop in, shall we?
- 8:49I've kind of buried the lead, but let's get into it.
- 8:52This is a report written from or in the New York Post by Steven
- 9:00Vago, Josh Christensen and Anthony Blair.
- 9:03FBI desperate to take over Nancy Guthrie case from ego tripping.
- 9:07That's in quotes Sheriff Chris Nanos Dateline Tucson the hunt
- 9:14for Savannah Guthrie's 84 year old mother.
- 9:16By the way, this especially for Emmy.
- 9:20I'm going to go on a little bit of a tangent here, but you, you
- 9:23guys know how much I love Mr. Rogers, right?
- 9:25A tangent, of course. You guys know how much I love
- 9:31Mr. Rogers and I love the story about the letter that he
- 9:34received from the little blind girl who was concerned about him
- 9:37not feeding fish, so he made sure to use.
- 9:40Audible cues that he was feeding the fish.
- 9:43I'm I'm doing this a little bit for Emmy tonight, OK?
- 9:46All of the articles that we're going to talk about today are
- 9:49LinkedIn the description below. OK, Dateline Tucson.
- 9:53The hunt for Savannah Guthrie's 84 year old mother Nancy has
- 9:58been doomed by Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos's ego and
- 10:02has vendetta against the FBI, according to a rising chorus of
- 10:06critics. Let's take a moment to just
- 10:08recognize that this is being written in the New York Post.
- 10:14No shade to the Post, but they do have kind of a tabloidy way
- 10:19of writing and they they seem to be OK.
- 10:23Maybe they just have a really powerful legal department.
- 10:26They seem to be OK of just, you know, referring to critics, a
- 10:34rising chorus of critics. The high profile case has seen
- 10:37missteps like leaving Nancy Guthrie's house unguarded in the
- 10:41hours after the crime, baffling press interviews, and a
- 10:44protracted investigation that so far has yielded no clear
- 10:48suspects or strong leads. After more than two weeks.
- 10:52I'm not sure that a two week investigation or a 2 1/2 week,
- 10:56although we all want Nancy home like now.
- 11:01I don't think it's it's fair to characterize a 2 1/2 week
- 11:05investigation for a missing person as protracted.
- 11:10I I would say maybe the Amelia Earhart missing person
- 11:15investigation is a protracted investigation, but a 2 1/2 week
- 11:18probably not. The FBI is desperate to take
- 11:23over the investigation but cannot unless the Guthrie family
- 11:27specifically asks, multiple law enforcement sources told the
- 11:31Post quotes uncommon it is. It is a uncommon belief in this
- 11:38agent. Oh my goodness, Javi, you're
- 11:40going to have a lot of post to post work to do.
- 11:44I am sorry. Take two on that one.
- 11:46OK, let's mark it. It is a common belief in this
- 11:51agency that this case has become an ego case for Sheriff Nanos,
- 11:56said Sergeant Aaron Cross, president of the Pima County
- 12:00Deputies Organization. Mr. Cross, I'm sorry, Sergeant
- 12:04Cross stepping out on the plank on this one.
- 12:09If he is president of the Deputies Association, I have to
- 12:12believe that he himself is a deputy.
- 12:16OK, so he is saying that Sheriff Nanos is on an ego trip.
- 12:23OK, Doomed from the start from the moment the Today Show Co
- 12:27host mom was reported missing from her $1,000,000 Tucson home.
- 12:31That might be the first time I've read a report that has
- 12:34specified that she has $1,000,000 home.
- 12:38If you if you buy a house 50 years ago, yeah, it doesn't
- 12:47matter. It's OK.
- 12:48It's OK. I'm sure it wasn't her first
- 12:50home. This is not her starter home and
- 12:52she's. 84 years old, who cares what it cost?
- 12:55Nanos, the top cop in Arizona's second most populous city, took
- 12:59center stage, hosting press briefings with a charming down
- 13:03to earth demeanor. Nanos has been the primary
- 13:06source. Man, I wish my.
- 13:08Editors would let me write like this.
- 13:10I think we'd get sued all the time though, so that's why they
- 13:12don't. Nanos has been the primary
- 13:15source of information in the case, granting multiple
- 13:18interviews to news outlets across the country and
- 13:21continuing to hold court with rambling press briefings in the
- 13:25aftermath of Nancy's February 1 disappearance.
- 13:29His decision continues the article to move away from
- 13:32general briefings to cozy chit chats with individual
- 13:35journalists. Oh my goodness.
- 13:39I wish my editors would let me write this way.
- 13:42I know why they don't, but wow has led to conflicting report's
- 13:48confusion and a general sense that the sheriff is more
- 13:51interested in damage control than in clarity, as one law
- 13:55enforcement post or source put it to the post.
- 13:57Of course, this is an unnamed source.
- 14:00This is so far we only have one source named.
- 14:06The sheriff turned a serious investigation into a rolling
- 14:10spectacle, from questionable decisions to shifting narratives
- 14:14and a disastrous media cleanup tour that raised more questions
- 14:17than answered, the source said, speaking on condition of
- 14:20anonymity. Leadership in moments like this
- 14:23requires discipline, not damage control, the source added.
- 14:27OK, let me just add my little editorial here.
- 14:30OK, when? Remember that Sheriff Nanos,
- 14:38Sheriff Nanos's office is a political office.
- 14:43He runs for office. Now sometimes in, in areas like
- 14:51this, in counties like this, they are secure in their office,
- 14:56right? Actually, in my county, I think
- 14:59our sheriff, I think our sheriff.
- 15:02Is. 25 years, our sheriff, whenever he runs, which happened
- 15:06this last election cycle, nobody runs against him.
- 15:09They all like him. He's a good guy and he works
- 15:12hard and sheriffs do do different work here in
- 15:15Pennsylvania. They've they've been largely
- 15:17stripped of their law enforcement power.
- 15:20So it's, it's kind of different, but when I read sentences like
- 15:28leadership in moments like this requires discipline, not damage
- 15:32control, that source is a politician, at least to me.
- 15:36That's how I'm that's how I'm hearing it.
- 15:39This sounds like it's coming from a person who wants to be
- 15:43sheriff. I don't, but OK.
- 15:48Doesn't that sound like something?
- 15:50Leadership in moments like this requires discipline.
- 15:52I mean, you can, you can hear just pick your politician.
- 15:58You can hear any one of them saying that exact same sentence
- 16:02no matter where they are on the political spectrum, right?
- 16:05Leadership in moments like this requires discipline, not damage
- 16:08control. OK, Betsy Brantner Smith from
- 16:12the National Policing Association said Nanos failure
- 16:16to provide regular press briefings has added to the
- 16:18confusion. Quote, this is public
- 16:20information officer one O 1. I used to teach these classes as
- 16:24a law enforcement organization. You have to communicate with the
- 16:27media. Dang it guys, you know what is
- 16:31Oh, no, it passed. I thought we were going to have
- 16:33to bring out the old lionfish. All right, continuing the quote,
- 16:38you can't just stop talking to them or piece meal out
- 16:42information and that I mean I think that's fair.
- 16:45Nanos has he did a couple of press conferences and then he
- 16:48has been on a press tour. And again, you guys know me.
- 16:57I'm all about, I'm all about incentives, incentives, And
- 17:04maybe we call them disincentives when they're when there are
- 17:06negative incentives. They're all incentives,
- 17:08actually. But Sheriff Nanos is a
- 17:12politician, right? So him getting airtime is a
- 17:18politician's dream. It doesn't surprise me that he's
- 17:22doing what he's doing. He's just also going to get
- 17:25criticized for it. Nanos did not respond to a list
- 17:30of questions from The Post Wednesday.
- 17:31That would have been yesterday or to previous attempts to speak
- 17:34with him. Apparently Sheriff Nanos, if I'm
- 17:36reading between the lines here, is not a fan.
- 17:38Of the New York. Post 1 outspoken critic of Nanos
- 17:42has been Cross of the Sheriff's Deputies Association's Cross,
- 17:48who has twice sued Nanos in federal court.
- 17:51Oh my goodness. Accuse the sheriff of badly
- 17:54mishandling the communications aspect of the case.
- 17:56OK, so Cross has an axe to grind.
- 17:59If you're going to spend all day talking to media instead you can
- 18:03do a one hour press conference with someone capable of speaking
- 18:07clearly and professionally, Cross told the Post.
- 18:11OK, FBI feud. Actually, before we get into
- 18:14this part of it, because this is a long article, let's see what
- 18:17you guys are saying over here in the in the live chat.
- 18:22Joyce is saying. I'm beginning to think he's
- 18:25botching it on purpose. OK, possibly.
- 18:29Possibly. Let's see.
- 18:33Look how mountain is in Chattanooga, TN.
- 18:36Is it OK? I thought it was in Georgia.
- 18:40Awesome. Ohio Palm mom.
- 18:43Oh, it was Kent State. Yes, of course, yes, of course.
- 18:47That is the famous. Did you guys see the movie The
- 18:52Watchmen? I didn't read the graphic novel,
- 18:56but they're they have that scene, the Kent State scene in
- 19:00that. Oh my goodness.
- 19:03OK, I'm continuing to go. Blah blah blah blah blah blah
- 19:11blah. Do you think the sheriff's
- 19:12behavior has anything to do with the A&E show?
- 19:15Somebody did send that to me or share it with me on the in the
- 19:20tank. I think in the fish tank.
- 19:21If you guys don't know what the fish tank is, it's our group on
- 19:24Facebook. It's easy to get there.
- 19:26It's on gavinfish.com. Click on the little fishy icon
- 19:29up in the upper right hand corner.
- 19:30That will take you to the fish tank.
- 19:32And they do have a show. Now.
- 19:36Do I think the sheriff's behavior has anything to do with
- 19:39the A&E show? Let me tell you what I've
- 19:43learned about show business. OK, Which I it's not like I'm an
- 19:45expert. However, over the course of my
- 19:51little YouTube journey, OK, I've been approached by multiple
- 19:55production agencies, some of them big, and multiple news
- 19:59agencies, some of them huge. Who have wanted to engage my
- 20:05services for, you know, a documentary series or a reality
- 20:10show, OK. They're always on the lookout
- 20:14for, for, you know, stories to tell, especially in the in the
- 20:19reality space because that county has an A&E show.
- 20:26That tells me that if it was the sheriff, Sheriff Nanos who
- 20:31signed that contract, he really wanted the fame because and the
- 20:37reason that is my opinion is because those production
- 20:42companies are predatory when it comes to sharing their profits,
- 20:49meaning they don't share their profits.
- 20:52They are predatory, man. They, they will exact so much
- 20:56out of you and give you nothing in return or offer you.
- 21:01I mean, this is the reason why I was not in, you know, the the
- 21:062020 documentary about Ellen Greenberg.
- 21:10It's because that production company was freaking predatory.
- 21:14And this is just my opinion, right?
- 21:18But it doesn't matter. I don't need to get into that.
- 21:22But that's just one example of many these days.
- 21:26I just say no right out of the gate.
- 21:28Hey, are you interested? No, don't even finish the the
- 21:31question. So, yeah, his behavior could
- 21:34have something to do with the A&E show.
- 21:39Scotch's mom says Brian interviewed the guy from the
- 21:42sheriff's association. I did see that interview.
- 21:44I think there's been more than one.
- 21:46Apparently he has protection and can speak out candidly as
- 21:50candidly. As he has been.
- 21:52Yeah, probably because the sheriff doesn't want to cross
- 21:55him because there's been lawsuits already and, you know,
- 22:01the guy has shown his willingness to be litigious
- 22:04about things. Let's see.
- 22:09Ohio Paw mom says Justice served interviewed a retired officer
- 22:12who painted him as as vindictive and someone who who uses
- 22:17retribution regularly. I saw.
- 22:20A similar interview. Yeah, a coffee time for Dee.
- 22:26I really think he is a scapegoat.
- 22:29Also, Chattanooga, TN has Lookout Mountain and we share it
- 22:31with Georgia. I see I.
- 22:33So I was only half wrong. I thought Lookout Mountain was
- 22:39in Georgia, but yeah, very cool. Very cool.
- 22:42Let's see, Peanut's mom made it late, but made it.
- 22:48And I'm glad you did. OK, let's continue our reading
- 22:54of this article from The Post. The FBI feud at the center of
- 22:58Nanos's apparently unwillingness to relinquish control of the
- 23:02case appears to be a long running feud with the FBI dating
- 23:05back to 2015 when he was appointed chief of the Pima
- 23:09County Sheriff's Department. So chief of the department but
- 23:14not sheriff? Is that when he was appointed?
- 23:20Was he the sheriff? Then?
- 23:21What? What's the difference between a
- 23:23a chief of a sheriff's? Department and a sheriff that's
- 23:27that's that's clumsily written but OK or I just don't have a
- 23:33meant enough mental faculty to figure it out.
- 23:39That same year, the FBI began investigating the department for
- 23:42misuse of civil asset forfeiture funds.
- 23:45Oh, don't get me started on that.
- 23:47Nanos was never charged, but the sheriff at the time was
- 23:50indicted, and Nanos lost the subsequent 2016 election for
- 23:55sheriff. OK, so he was appointed chief of
- 23:59the. Department, but not the sheriff.
- 24:02And then he lost the election. It is widely believed this is a
- 24:06quote He thinks the FBI cost him his election, Cross said Nanos
- 24:12was visibly furious in 2016 as he hit back at the FBI over its
- 24:17overspending allegations against his department department,
- 24:21calling the claims total BS. In an interview with K Gun 9.
- 24:26You can just see him seething with Rage Against the.
- 24:28FBI, Cross said, referring to the clip.
- 24:31OK, he's he's characterizing that whether he felt rage or
- 24:34not, the only person that would know that Sheriff Nanos.
- 24:37But Mr. Cross, that's his characterization.
- 24:41Good. OK, quote.
- 24:42That's the real Sheriff Nanos, the angry, vindictive guy.
- 24:46That's one we experience inside the department.
- 24:49Notice he didn't say experienced, He said experience.
- 24:52The aw shucks kind of persona that he portrays is kind of the
- 24:57character that he puts on. Interesting.
- 25:00Nanos was finally elected sheriff in 2020, which means
- 25:05he's twice elected at this point.
- 25:07OK, election controversy. So anyway, apparently he's
- 25:11vindictive. Well, it's.
- 25:14Reported that he's vindictive and he's upset at the FBI for
- 25:17costing him his first attempt at the election.
- 25:21OK, Nanos is in the job after winning re election over his
- 25:24Republican challenger Heather Lapin, amid controversial
- 25:28circumstances and a slim margin in 2024.
- 25:31The Democrat won by fewer than 500 votes after a bitter
- 25:35campaign that saw him place Lapin, then a Lieutenant, in at
- 25:40the Pima County Jail on administrative leave just weeks
- 25:44before the election. Oh my goodness.
- 25:47Wow. Cross was also placed on
- 25:51administrative leave at the time.
- 25:54OK Lapin filed a lawsuit against Nanos claiming that after she
- 25:57decided to run for office, quote, Sheriff Nanos and PCSD
- 26:02leadership waged A retaliatory campaign against Lieutenant
- 26:05Lapin's career in order to undermine her candidacy.
- 26:09Both Cross's and Lapin's cases are ongoing.
- 26:14Shortly after Nanos's victory, the Pima County Board of
- 26:17Supervisors unanimously voted for an independent investigation
- 26:21into whether Nanos was responsible for criminal
- 26:24wrongdoing during the election. The case was referred to
- 26:27Arizona's Democratic attorney general, but no charges were
- 26:31ever brought. That's shocking.
- 26:34One member of the Board of Supervisors told The Post that
- 26:37they too, were deeply frustrated with how slowly the case has
- 26:41been progressing. OK, and look, I, I'm just going
- 26:44to call balls and strikes here, OK?
- 26:46A 2 1/2 week investigation on a kidnapping case is not, is not
- 26:51slow progression. I, I don't see it.
- 26:55I'm maybe I'm wrong. Call me out if I'm wrong.
- 26:59Of course we wanted Nancy back the pronto, right?
- 27:03We wanted her back now. But but 2 1/2 weeks guy, it's
- 27:09too long. I, I, I happily admit that.
- 27:14Not happily, but I admit that. But protracted or slow?
- 27:21I don't think so. FBI wants to step in.
- 27:24They would if they could. More than two weeks into the
- 27:26case, the FBI is quote, growing frustrated. close quote, a
- 27:30federal source familiar with the case told The Post.
- 27:34Quote, over 2 weeks into this, the police have made no leads,
- 27:37no progress, the source said, continuing the quote.
- 27:41They were never confident in the glove, the source added,
- 27:43referring to the latex glove that rendered no DNA matches.
- 27:48If I can just quibble here, why? Why am I quibbling?
- 27:54Because I am. A professional.
- 27:57Quibble. Yeah.
- 27:59I love to quibble. I quibble for fun.
- 28:04It is. Fun to quibble professionally
- 28:06and I'm a. Professional Quibbler.
- 28:10Maybe that's the reason he sent it to the Florida lab, because
- 28:14he's like. We have to test.
- 28:16This, it's not, we're not really confident in this, but we're
- 28:20going to just send it there so the FBI don't have to worry
- 28:22about that's just that's just playing devil's advocate, OK,
- 28:27quote, the press conferences are not going well.
- 28:29Giving press conferences without saying anything that's not
- 28:32helpful. Close quote.
- 28:36And then it gives a timeline here and I think we know the
- 28:39timeline. So let me just skip down to this
- 28:44scene. Surrender 1 of Nanos early
- 28:46moves, which baffled many experts was his decision to
- 28:50surrender Nancy, Nancy Guthrie's home just days into the
- 28:54investigation. Quote In my professional
- 28:56opinion, I believe they released the crime scene too early and
- 29:00that was on Sheriff Nanos Brantner Smith, a former cop,
- 29:04told the Post. And the confusing first few
- 29:07first few days of the. Investigation reporters and
- 29:10Internet true crime sleuths descended on Nancy Guthrie's
- 29:14dusty Catalina Foothills neighborhood outside Tucson and
- 29:17found to their shock that they were able to walk straight up to
- 29:20the front door. Quote, every reporter I've
- 29:23spoken with that's here on the ground could not believe that
- 29:26they were allowed to walk up to the door the next day, Cross
- 29:29said. Continuing the quote, I think
- 29:32it's completely predictable that we would have to go back out
- 29:36there again, he said, adding that the house should have been
- 29:38locked down with crime scene tape and security.
- 29:45It looks unprofessional. This is quoting again, it looks
- 29:49amateurish to have to repeatedly go out there, he said.
- 29:53It doesn't look good for our department when we've had
- 29:56reporters walking up and it's essentially contaminating the
- 29:59scene. Nanos has denied that his
- 30:02department had relinquished the crime scene too early.
- 30:05Quote, first of all, we didn't release the crime scene too
- 30:07early. We finished.
- 30:08We completed our crime scene done.
- 30:11Ask my investigators. I don't go out there and do.
- 30:13That they did it and they feel confident they retrieved
- 30:16everything, he told the Green Valley News.
- 30:20OK, plane wrong. Nanos has also faced criticism
- 30:23for not immediately launching his department's high tech
- 30:26aircraft when Nancy went missing, delaying the aerial
- 30:29search for hours during the crucial first day of the
- 30:32investigation. The apparent holed up in
- 30:35deploying the Cessna plane, known as Survey One, was due to
- 30:40a staffing shortage, according to insiders who blamed the
- 30:43sheriff for the snafu. I'm curious about this real
- 30:46quick. Let me, let me open this.
- 30:52Is it just a little? Give me just a second.
- 30:56Yeah, just a little Cessna. Usually anytime I've seen a
- 31:01Cessna that is employed by police departments, usually like
- 31:04a 182. Sometimes they're a little
- 31:06bigger, like a two O 6 or 210. I've never seen that.
- 31:12Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I've never seen a law
- 31:15enforcement office have anything more than a single engine plane.
- 31:21And the the high wing makes it makes visibility looking down
- 31:29much better for the pilot and for the copilot and passengers
- 31:32and so forth. So it makes perfect sense and,
- 31:34and those planes are high performance.
- 31:39But anyway, yeah, it's probably I'm because I'm an airplane
- 31:44nerd. I probably shouldn't be looking
- 31:46into it specifically, but but that's usually what it is.
- 31:49Little I've even seen like 170 sevens and 170 twos, but 180
- 31:57twos are the ones that I usually see in that in that position.
- 32:01Pima County's most experienced and trained search and rescue
- 32:04deputy was moved out of the unit in September 2025 without
- 32:09replacement simply for just being there too long, according
- 32:12to Cross. OK, the week before Nancy went
- 32:16missing, another pilot tasked with flying Survey 1 was also
- 32:19moved out, reportedly due to staff shortages.
- 32:22Moving the pilot out the week before left us without our
- 32:25airplane to immediately respond to this missing person, Cross
- 32:28said. It was just a matter of time
- 32:30before something terrible happened and it exposed the
- 32:33self-imposed weakness that Nanos created, Cross added.
- 32:38Hey, just just as a maybe public service announcement, OK.
- 32:46And I know that flying, flying for a Police Department you
- 32:51would be flying under far apart 135, right?
- 32:55It's commercial. So you you have to have
- 32:59commercially rated pilots to do that.
- 33:03But there are so many pilots with so many hours that could be
- 33:08called on and who would who have training in search and rescue
- 33:14that could go and do that job almost like at the drop of a
- 33:19hat. Now, I am not one of those
- 33:22pilots because I don't have a commercial certification,
- 33:26because I don't qualify for it, because I have because of my
- 33:31eyes. But there are so many out there
- 33:36and. People like me.
- 33:38I would sit in the right chair with binoculars and I would do
- 33:41the training out and I would happily do that on a volunteer
- 33:46basis for for law enforcement agencies.
- 33:50And I'm certain that there are thousands of us, you know,
- 33:53aviation and you know, being a being a certificated pilot, it
- 33:59really is kind of a fraternity slash sorority.
- 34:04It is a brother sisterhood. We tend to hang out and
- 34:09congregate and, and it's just, it's just kind of the way the
- 34:14hobby works. And, and, and you, you can be
- 34:19like a 20,000 hour 40 year commercial heavy airline pilot.
- 34:27And he is just as nerdy as the student pilot with six hours
- 34:32under her belt, right? It's like it's that kind of
- 34:36fraternity there so few of us. And, and we all love aviation,
- 34:40I'm telling you. And plus there's a Civil Air
- 34:43Patrol and stuff like that. Come on.
- 34:47So reading this kind of thing just bothers me.
- 34:52But OK. Good cops under bad leadership.
- 34:55This section says behind the scenes, many Pima County
- 34:57deputies reportedly share the frustrations of the FBI and
- 35:01experts on Nanos's handling of one of the most bewildering
- 35:04kidnapping cases of our time. Quote, these officers are being
- 35:09called the Keystone Cops and they and told they don't know
- 35:12what they're doing, Brentner Smith, who served in law
- 35:14enforcement in Chicago for three decades before moving to Pima
- 35:18County, told the Post. And it's very frustrating
- 35:21because these are very good police officers.
- 35:24They're just not working under the best leadership.
- 35:27And that might be guys, it might be an artifact of the fact that
- 35:32the leadership is political. I, I keep returning to that and
- 35:36harping on it. But it's the reality, right?
- 35:39These kinds of things, I'm, I, it's less likely to happen in a,
- 35:45on a police force than in a Sheriff's Department.
- 35:48I think it's just my opinion. The Pima County Sheriff's
- 35:53Department handled 12 homicides in 2024 and solved them all.
- 35:57Deputies police the county of more than a million.
- 36:01That's a good point. Quote, Nanos is not a good
- 36:03communicator in my opinion, that is fueling so much of this
- 36:07consternation and speculation as well as the unnecessary abuse,
- 36:11abuse of our Pima County Sheriff's Department.
- 36:13Smith added. The detectives are embarrassed
- 36:17by the press conferences. Cross added Nanos previously
- 36:21took aim at his critics over their attacks, singling out
- 36:24Cross directly. Quote, Aaron Cross is just being
- 36:27Aaron Cross. He is manipulative and he's a
- 36:29liar, OK? He best be careful because the
- 36:33further this goes for him, the deeper he's digging himself.
- 36:36Nanos told Green Valley News. They're both public officials,
- 36:41so they can say that about themselves.
- 36:43So that is the article. I've got several other pieces of
- 36:48news that I do want to share with you, but let's First off
- 36:52bring Nancy's photo up, shall we, Javi, that, Oh, that was a
- 36:55good choice. And let's see what what is being
- 36:58said over in the live chat. Let's see.
- 37:18Scotch's mom says Gavin say that to her family as well.
- 37:25You're probably talking because these aren't real time chats
- 37:30that we have with one another, right?
- 37:32You're probably talking about me saying 2 1/2 weeks isn't a long
- 37:36time. No, I completely and and I
- 37:40thought that I made that pretty clear, but I'll say it again.
- 37:45It's. Too long.
- 37:47And and the family is being yes, I mean raked over the coals on
- 37:53this. It's.
- 37:54Too. Long, but does anybody have any
- 37:59statistics on how long missing person cases?
- 38:02What's the average? What's the average missing
- 38:05person's case in in the United States?
- 38:09Let's find out from Uncle Google.
- 38:11What's the average amount of time a missing person is
- 38:18typically? Missing.
- 38:21Let's see what Uncle Google says.
- 38:26The majority of Oh OK, I might stand corrected Scott's mom.
- 38:30The majority of reported missing persons are located to return
- 38:33home within 24 to 72 hours. Statistics indicate the 76 to
- 38:3879% of individuals, both adults and children, are found within
- 38:42the 1st 24 hours. Generally, 90% of all missing
- 38:46persons are resolved within a month.
- 38:48OK, within a month, let's say time a kidnapping victim.
- 38:55Let's do that for a kidnapping victim.
- 39:01Let's see most. The average length of time a
- 39:05child is missing varies greatly depending on the type of
- 39:08abduction, ranging from just hours in many cases to an
- 39:11average of over 300 days for family abductions.
- 39:16So Scotch's mom, I guess I'm wrong.
- 39:19Within 24 hours is 75 to 80%. This is talking about children.
- 39:2631% within the first one to three days.
- 39:29Long term missing. Less than 2% of children are
- 39:31missing for longer than a week. Family abductions.
- 39:36These are the longest. Let's see a.
- 39:40Kidnapped and an adult. Let's see.
- 39:45Kidnapping victim. Let's see if we can do a little
- 39:49research on that, OK? Based on data from the FBI and
- 39:53other law enforcement sources, approximately 70 to 75% of
- 39:57reported missing adults are located or returned within 48 to
- 40:0072 hours. But these are missing people,
- 40:02not kidnapping victims. I don't know.
- 40:07I. Maybe I'm wrong.
- 40:08I just, I just feel like, I just feel like this, this case is
- 40:15moving at about the pace that I kind of expected it.
- 40:17I get, I guess. That's what I'm saying and and I
- 40:20don't want to come off as uncaring or unkind on this
- 40:24right, but it's just how I feel. G smile.
- 40:31Sarah loves the quibble button. Yes, I like the quibble button.
- 40:34I probably like a little too much, but I'm glad you do too.
- 40:38Coffee time for Dee. I feel if she is still with us
- 40:41that they took her to Mexico. I feel that's why it's been so
- 40:45long. We're going to get into the
- 40:46Mexican angle here in just a second.
- 40:48Thank you for the comment. Black widower member for five
- 40:51months. Well or not welcome.
- 40:52Thank you is what I meant. Couple more things before we go.
- 41:00Let's see. I'm late but I live in the city
- 41:02that has a government agency and a sports team that deal with or
- 41:06is named after the stars. Government agency and a sports
- 41:11team that deal with a government.
- 41:15Oh, Houston? Are you from Houston?
- 41:18I think you're probably from Houston.
- 41:21OK, couple more Tiff, I did know.
- 41:26That, yes, very cool. Very cool.
- 41:29Ghisla is an impressive person. Scotch's mom, yes, that's what I
- 41:34was talking about. OK, Mooney says Gavin and the
- 41:37family has this back and forth, complaining about each other.
- 41:39I can't imagine that's true. That's true, Casey says.
- 41:43Thanks for doing this, Gavin. Some people.
- 41:45Are afraid to appreciate the coverage.
- 41:46You're welcome. Jenny says, I don't think you
- 41:49ever come off as uncaring or kind.
- 41:51Well, thank you and Sharky agrees.
- 41:53Thank you both for that. Then thank you for extending
- 41:56grace on that. I I appreciate that.
- 42:00OK, let's move over to back over to the old Acrobat and let's go
- 42:10to News Nation of it Got a couple of sister companies
- 42:18reporting here. OK, so we're we're going to read
- 42:22both this from News Nation written by Allie Bradley and
- 42:26Jeff Arnold or Ali Bradley. Bradley, Ali Bradley or Ali
- 42:31Bradley, not sure. Cartels cannot be ruled out in
- 42:34Nancy Guthrie case as according to an ex US Marshall, the FBI
- 42:40has contacted Mexican authorities in connection with
- 42:42the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, News Nation sources
- 42:45say. Hold your comments on that
- 42:48because I know that they're, I know that Mexico's saying
- 42:50something different. Just hold, hold on.
- 42:53But there is no evidence to suggest that Mexican drug
- 42:55cartels were involved, according to the Pima County Sheriff's
- 42:58Office. And then, as the search for the
- 43:03Mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie continues
- 43:06throughout its third week, investigators searching for
- 43:09clues around Guthrie's home believe the crime has local ties
- 43:12rather than extending into Mexico.
- 43:14Guthrie's home is located in the Catalina foothills outside of
- 43:17Tucson, which is about 60 miles from the US Mexico border.
- 43:21Pima County investigators declined to confirm FBI contact
- 43:26with Mexican officials. Sources.
- 43:28Told News Nation, although evidence around the 84 year old
- 43:31Guthrie's home points to a violent confrontation between
- 43:34Guthrie and the person who took her, the methods used in the
- 43:38kidnapping did not match up with those used by Mexican
- 43:41transnational criminal organizations.
- 43:44I think, I think what they're pointing to is probably the
- 43:46blood when they're talking about a violent confrontation is the
- 43:49blood on the front porch. Across northern Mexico, cartel
- 43:55groups routinely target migrants, often pulling buses
- 43:59over, separating passengers and demanding ransom.
- 44:02And 1 high profile case, dozens of migrants were forced off of a
- 44:05commercial bus by armed men, later released only after
- 44:08families were contacted for payment.
- 44:11Cartel involvement shouldn't be ruled out in the Guthrie case,
- 44:14according to a former US Marshall.
- 44:15However, a former US Marshall who worked along the border told
- 44:19News Nation Thursday that although the methods used in
- 44:21Guthrie's disappearance do not point to how cartels typically
- 44:25operate, it is important not to dismiss the cartel involvement
- 44:29altogether. Quote, if this does involve
- 44:32Mexican drug cartels, I think it was done with the blessing of
- 44:35the mix. I think it was done with the OH.
- 44:39Let me Javi, Javi, dude, I'm you are earning your pay today.
- 44:44Take two on this one, Mark, quote.
- 44:47If this does involve Mexican drug cartels, I think it was
- 44:50done with the blessing of the Mexican cartels.
- 44:52That is the worst sentence ever, OK.
- 44:55Robert Almonte, a former US Marshall and the retired deputy
- 44:59chief with the El Paso Police Department, quote.
- 45:02And they probably reached out to somebody.
- 45:03To do the kidnapping, he added. This is right up the Mexican
- 45:06cartels alley. Almonte said that the image of a
- 45:11man captured by Guthrie's doorbell camera does not appear
- 45:14to be someone who would be considered a mid to high-ranking
- 45:17cartel member or official and characterizations of the man's
- 45:21actions. As sloppy, he said that street
- 45:24gangs operating in Tucson, in the area that may have
- 45:29connections to the cartel should not be ruled out as being
- 45:31involved in Guthrie's disappearance.
- 45:33Almonte said Tucson is Ground Zero for the trafficking of
- 45:37fentanyl into the United States, especially by the Sinaloa
- 45:40Cartel, which is the most active Mexican cartel in Arizona.
- 45:46What distinguishes Mexican cartel kidnappings from other
- 45:49abductions as the investigation continues into possible clues?
- 45:52Into Guthrie's likely abduction, other factors distinguish the
- 45:55ways that Mexican cartels kidnap people from what is being
- 45:58considered in the Arizona case. Boy am I glad right now.
- 46:02Just there are a lot of reasons to love Arizona, to love the
- 46:06Southwest. Right now I'm glad I'm in the
- 46:08Northeast. Just thinking about the danger
- 46:11of this. The cartels do not traditionally
- 46:15target US homes, but instead focus on major transit corridors
- 46:20like Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, and other Mexican border states to
- 46:25the US. Targets of cartel kidnappings
- 46:28typically focus on migrants traveling across the border on
- 46:31buses or freight trains, or who find their way into cartel stash
- 46:34houses. Armed cartel members who are
- 46:36involved in a kidnapping will routinely force a bus to stop
- 46:40and will kidnap passengers and then hold the hostages while
- 46:43negotiating over a series of days.
- 46:46Cartels typically rely on extortion.
- 46:48Ransom cartels typically rely on extortion and ransom families
- 46:53abroad. In the Guthrie cases, several
- 46:55random letters have been sent to media outlets, including TMZ,
- 46:58with specific dollar Bitcoin amounts being demanded in
- 47:01exchange for information about Guthrie's whereabouts.
- 47:04Local officials have been slow to speak on the nature of the
- 47:07ransom letters, but have announced one arrest of a person
- 47:10who was characterized as a ransom imposter.
- 47:12Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah.
- 47:15Almonte, the former US Marshall, said that cartels are involved
- 47:19in kidnappings for money daily, which is further evidence that
- 47:22the criminal organization's possible involvement in the
- 47:24Guthrie case cannot be completely dismissed.
- 47:28If Mexican cartels are involved, they targeted Missus Guthrie
- 47:31because of who she is and also who her family members are,
- 47:34specifically Savannah Guthrie, Almonte told News Nation.
- 47:37But this is all about making money and this is what the
- 47:40Mexican cartels are all about. They know the family has money.
- 47:44They know Nancy Guthrie is a profile, high profile target.
- 47:47They know they would get attention.
- 47:49They know they would get reaction.
- 47:50I think that's what we're seeing going on right now.
- 47:53So that's his opinion. Now in the Hill, which is a
- 47:57sister publication, Mexico Sonora AG denies formal FBI
- 48:04request in Nancy Guthrie case. Now I just want to.
- 48:07Clue you in if. You aren't already because
- 48:09you're smart, Smart people. I want to clue you in to to
- 48:14specific wording. OK, this is what I refer to as a
- 48:20qualifier, right? Sources.
- 48:24In one in many publications are saying the FBI has reached out
- 48:27to Mexican officials. In this one, it says Mexico's AG
- 48:33denies formal FBI request. So these two things might be
- 48:44parallel truths, OK? And this one might be the truth
- 48:47that misleads a little bit. Just just kind of put your
- 48:51thinking caps on on that one, OK?
- 48:53Anytime there's a qualifier like that that they're trying to
- 48:58exclude something, right? It's it's a filter OK Written by
- 49:05Max Rego in the Hill or Rego. The attorney general of the
- 49:10Mexican state of Sonora clarified Wednesday that his
- 49:13office has not received a formal request from the FBI to
- 49:16collaborate in the search for 84 year old Nancy Guthrie.
- 49:19The office of Sonora Attorney General Gustavo Romulo Salas
- 49:23Chavez wrote on the social media platform X in Spanish quote it
- 49:27has not received a formal request for collaboration in the
- 49:31case of a missing person in Arizona, referring to Guthrie.
- 49:35Sonora borders Arizona and its capital, Hermosigo.
- 49:40It's roughly is roughly 250 miles South of Catalina
- 49:44Foothills, Arizona, the unincorporated community where
- 49:47Guthrie's home is located. By the way, if you heard me
- 49:52pronounce that word and you say to yourself, it's not how you
- 49:55pronounce that word, Gavin. You say you speak Spanish.
- 50:00Well, listen to me, bucko. All right?
- 50:03You just listen right now. I learned Spanish in Argentina.
- 50:07They speak a little different there.
- 50:08OK, OK. In Mexico they would say
- 50:11hermosio, but we don't say that. In La Argentina we say hermosio
- 50:17sometimes. There's more of an SH and less
- 50:19of AJ hermosio sometimes, but I don't find that to be as
- 50:24beautiful. All right, to date, this
- 50:26institution has not received any formal request for
- 50:29collaboration, assistance or exchange in of information with
- 50:33the US authorities or Mexican federal agencies in relation to
- 50:36the case. Again, no formal request,
- 50:39Chavez's office added. It also noted that quote should
- 50:43an official request, again, official request be received
- 50:47through the appropriate institutional channels, I will
- 50:49be attending to with full. Willingness and within the
- 50:53framework of its legal powers and the existing cooperation
- 50:57mechanisms. Man, that just seems like
- 50:59somebody used ChatGPT to translate what he said in
- 51:02Spanish. But OK, we get it, We get it.
- 51:05Multiple media outlets, including The Hill's sister
- 51:07network, News Nation, previously reported that the FBI, which is
- 51:10working on the case alongside the Pima County Sheriff's Office
- 51:13or. Department has contacted the
- 51:15Mexican government and Mexican law enforcement.
- 51:17The Hill has reached out to the FBI for comment.
- 51:21Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 51:22The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information.
- 51:27And then of course, 88 Crime is offering $102,500.
- 51:32So we're now at 2O25. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos
- 51:37told News Nation's Brian Antton on Tuesday that authorities have
- 51:40only obtained Google Nest video from the front of the house, and
- 51:44Google is working to retrieve footage from other cameras.
- 51:46We've learned that the FBI is encouraging those with tips to
- 51:50reach out to 1800, call FBI or tips.fbi.gov.
- 51:54PCSD also said last week people can submit tips at 88 Crime or
- 51:58520-351-4900. And yeah, so that is that is
- 52:05that. Could it possibly be that Nancy
- 52:09Guthrie is across the border? I I think it's just as possible
- 52:14as being across the state border.
- 52:18I hope not. I hope she's.
- 52:20Close, I hope she's well. I hope that they've gotten her
- 52:23her life saving medication. But yeah, that's that is the
- 52:29news there. Let's hop back into hang on just
- 52:37one second. Let me just I just see something
- 52:40in the comments I want to look at.
- 52:57OK, I I saw a Rest in peace Joe Rogan.
- 53:00I went what? OK, scrolling on down burn.
- 53:07Dog says I saw a pic somewhere today that Harvey Levin was
- 53:11hooked up to a lie detector test.
- 53:14OK, sounds a little stuntish by the TMZ founder.
- 53:20Yeah, that's funny. Let's see the.
- 53:26Blah blah blah. Reminds me of La Techia starch
- 53:29calls to husband Al. That's funny.
- 53:34Yeah. I just anytime they're they're
- 53:37doing kind of like the the job of like a nut graph of just
- 53:41quickly summarizing what's been going on.
- 53:43I yadda, yadda that we, we don't need to go go in there.
- 53:48Oh, and Betsy says it's a running joke with trolls.
- 53:51OK, I got it. I got it.
- 53:52Now I've learned. I've learned.
- 53:54Thank you very much. Betsy's tag.
- 53:57Not I'm not saying thank you to Betsy.
- 53:59I'm saying Betsy's tag. Thank you very much.
- 54:02I appreciate that. All right.
- 54:05What time is it? What time is it?
- 54:06Man, this one's going to go a little bit long.
- 54:08Too. But why don't we right now, head
- 54:12on in? To three questions, shall we?
- 54:15It's three questions with Gavin. Fish how?
- 54:23OK in this segment guys, you know the rules.
- 54:26If you don't, let me just explain it real quick.
- 54:28I have an e-mail address. It is 3 questions at
- 54:30gavinfish.com. It is spelled out.
- 54:33Using the Greco Roman alphabet, it's there are no numerals in
- 54:41there, just three questions at gavinfish.com and you can send
- 54:45in as many questions as you want as often as you want.
- 54:48I will ask you to please keep them brief.
- 54:50Keep it pithy, keep it short. Don't.
- 54:53Use it as a cheat code to send an e-mail to me to to chat.
- 54:58That's breaking them their rules.
- 54:59We got rules for a reason. If you want to reach out to me,
- 55:02go to gavinfish.com, click on the little envelope.
- 55:04Icon in the upper right hand corner and.
- 55:07And reach out to me there, OK, But send your questions, many or
- 55:13few to three questions at gavinfish.com.
- 55:16And my solemn promise is to answer all of the questions, but
- 55:20I reserve the right to do so in the order in which I would like
- 55:24to do it. The ones that I think are the
- 55:27most interesting go make their way to the top.
- 55:29It's the cream that it's the proverbial cream that floats to
- 55:31the top. Here we go.
- 55:33Question number one, Gavin, this is from Diane.
- 55:37What true crime movie would you recommend?
- 55:39Well, I am a movie buff. OK, I am a movie buff, but I'm
- 55:45not like a true crime movie. I'm kind of.
- 55:50Documentaried out, I got to tell you.
- 55:52So I'm not going to I'm not going to choose a doc.
- 55:54But recently I rewatched and this is a This is a movie that I
- 55:58watch all the time it I go back to it.
- 56:02Time and time and time again, I think the acting is terrific.
- 56:06I think the script is amazing and of course the story is just
- 56:10captivating. And I also like that it was the
- 56:14very first mainstream Hollywood movie that was recorded
- 56:18digitally. I don't know.
- 56:19That little piece of of trivia is important to me, I guess.
- 56:26It stars Robert Downey Junior. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal.
- 56:30It stars. What's his name?
- 56:35Not what is his name. You're like, tell me the name of
- 56:39the movie and I'll tell you the name of the actor.
- 56:44No, I'm not. I'm not going.
- 56:45I'm not going to let you do that.
- 56:48The cast is OK. Jake Gyllenhaal.
- 56:51Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey junior, Anthony Edwards was in
- 56:56it, Dermot Mulroney was in it. It's a great, great movie, great
- 57:01cast. And that is the 2007 film
- 57:03Zodiac. I love it and I, I probably
- 57:07watch it once every year or two. Very good.
- 57:11If you haven't watched it, you should watch it.
- 57:13Very good question #2 and and by the way.
- 57:19I, I love it when you guys answer these questions.
- 57:21So for question number one, what is a true crime movie that you
- 57:23would recommend? And question #2 this from Bernie
- 57:26who asked what was a scary movie I saw as a kid.
- 57:29What is a scary movie as an adult?
- 57:34OK, I'm not into scary movies. OK.
- 57:37I am. I am.
- 57:39I'm not into horror movies. I guess I do like I do like the
- 57:44like intellectual ticklers, the ones that just kind of creepy,
- 57:48right? What is the name of the movie?
- 57:53Hold on I? It stars Denzel Washington and
- 58:05hold on John Goodman. It is called Fallen 1998.
- 58:14Oh, I love fallen. I can't watch it all that often
- 58:19because it still creeps me out, but I, well, I don't want to
- 58:25give away the ending, but it was 1998, guys.
- 58:28You know what? I feel like if it has been more
- 58:31than 25 years and you haven't seen it, then spoilers just just
- 58:36give us the La La La La, La La so that you don't get a spoiler.
- 58:39But let me just tell you this quick story, OK?
- 58:42Is this a tangent? You know what I need?
- 58:43I need to hire Wanda. I have put in a questionnaire to
- 58:48Wanda to see what instrument she plays because I think when I
- 58:52when I'm doing something like this that isn't a tangent, it's
- 58:54more of like a memory, I would like some sort of kind of music.
- 59:01To to a flashback cue, right? OK, hopefully Wanda will get
- 59:07back to me and maybe Wanda can join the staff.
- 59:10OK, so Kimberly and I got married in November of 1999 and
- 59:18one of the things that we we moved into this cheap little 2
- 59:22bedroom apartment in Carmichael, CA and she grew up in a family
- 59:30without a television. I grew up in a family where the
- 59:32television was the center of the house.
- 59:34So our compromise was we used the second bedroom as our TV
- 59:39room and it worked. Out really well because.
- 59:45You know, early on in our relationship, because we only
- 59:47knew each other from from the moment we met to the moment we
- 59:50were married, is 5 1/2 months. It could have been three days.
- 59:54As far as I'm concerned, 5 1/2 months was too long.
- 59:56But but it was a short time, right?
- 59:59And so I wanted to watch this movie Fallen, and she just said
- 1:00:04that seems too creepy. I'm going to bed.
- 1:00:06So she's in our bedroom, I am in the little TV room and I'm
- 1:00:11watching this movie, which is kind of a a paranormal
- 1:00:15psychological thriller and the. Last scene involves a cat.
- 1:00:23I'll just put it that way. I don't I want total spoiler but
- 1:00:26involves a cat and then the the cat shows its its little face
- 1:00:32and then the credits roll on. You're just like.
- 1:00:35I still can't listen to Time Is on My Side by The Rolling Stones
- 1:00:39because of this movie. OK, so I am creeped out and we
- 1:00:43are in a strange place because we just moved into this
- 1:00:46apartment. I'm feeling all weird and creepy
- 1:00:48and I'm excited to get into bed with my beloved, my snuggly, my
- 1:00:52sweetie part, my sweetie pie, my snuggly bear.
- 1:00:54Right, and and just like. Not because it freaked me out.
- 1:01:01So I go, I go into bed and uncharacteristically of me, I
- 1:01:07snuggle in tight because I'm, I'm, I'm just, I'm weirded out
- 1:01:13because of this cat. It was a great ending.
- 1:01:18And then just as I'm settling down outside our window, these
- 1:01:23two cats start fine. And it made me jump out of bed,
- 1:01:30man. So yes, the the answer to your
- 1:01:32question, what is a scary movie as an adult?
- 1:01:35It is fallen Denzel Washington. It is so good.
- 1:01:39But I, I don't think I've watched it since since 1999.
- 1:01:47OK question #3I I'd love to hear what you think is a scary movie
- 1:01:51as an adult. OK.
- 1:01:53From Jude and this this is a question that has come up a
- 1:01:56couple times. If you could go back to a
- 1:01:58specific. Time in your life or any time in
- 1:02:00history? What would it be and why?
- 1:02:04Anytime in history. I am a bit of a history buff.
- 1:02:10I would like. I would like the.
- 1:02:11Opportunity to maybe maybe convince Bavaria that it
- 1:02:22listening to this crazy guy with a weird mustache is probably a
- 1:02:25bad idea. That'd that'd be a good thing to
- 1:02:27do. So maybe seeing what's leading
- 1:02:31up to World War 2 would be something that would be that'd
- 1:02:34be cool to go back and do in my own lifetime.
- 1:02:41I have so many happy memories that I would love to just be a
- 1:02:44family on the wall and just watch it happen again.
- 1:02:51You know, like, let me think. I don't know, like, like first
- 1:03:02kisses would be kind of fun to watch.
- 1:03:04Do you remember that feeling of like, oh, should I lean in?
- 1:03:09Does he or she feel the same way?
- 1:03:12Oh, I'm putting myself out there.
- 1:03:14And then like the the just. Rush of adrenaline.
- 1:03:18When, when you are successful. Oh, yeah.
- 1:03:25That and you know, yeah. So first kisses would be fun to
- 1:03:29do. I would, I would love to go back
- 1:03:34again as a family on a wall and see my parents as they were
- 1:03:38raising little kids, right? Maybe maybe when they just maybe
- 1:03:43so if it was in my lifetime, maybe when I'm like 10 days old,
- 1:03:46see what my parents are up to. Because they were, they were
- 1:03:49young kids themselves. I was child #4 but they started
- 1:03:54having kids when they were teenagers, different time.
- 1:03:58So yeah, I just like to maybe, maybe understand my parents a
- 1:04:04little more. I would I would love to hear
- 1:04:05what what your thoughts are on that in your own life.
- 1:04:11And while you are putting that in your comments, let's hop into
- 1:04:16some headlines. True.
- 1:04:23Crime. Headlines cow OK, join me over
- 1:04:28here. This this was reported in Yahoo.
- 1:04:31I'm not going to read the whole thing, but just just a quick,
- 1:04:34quickie here. Rob Reiner's family reportedly
- 1:04:36keeping distance from the alleged killer son Nick amid his
- 1:04:40stay in jail. Nick Reiner has reportedly not
- 1:04:44yet received and this was published today, has not yet
- 1:04:48received any visits from family members amid his stay in jail
- 1:04:51after being accused of killing his parents, Rob Reiner and
- 1:04:53Michelle Singer Reiner. By the way, his his next court
- 1:04:58appearance, I believe is Monday. I will be in the air.
- 1:05:02Let's see. I don't think that I will be
- 1:05:06live streaming on Monday. I'm going to.
- 1:05:09Yeah. Let's just take this.
- 1:05:10Let me just take a moment here. Next week I am going to be
- 1:05:14heading back to California for some meetings and to check in on
- 1:05:18the old Figgity. Folks.
- 1:05:20I'm traveling on Monday so I will not be live streaming
- 1:05:23Monday, but I will be live streaming the rest of the week
- 1:05:26from my parents house. At least that's the plan for
- 1:05:30now. I might, I might live stream
- 1:05:32from somewhere else depending, but it's going to be, it's going
- 1:05:36to be a technologically toned down live stream, but we're
- 1:05:40going to do it none the less, OK?
- 1:05:43Relatives are said to be keeping their distance as they struggle
- 1:05:46to come to terms with the accusations against him while
- 1:05:49also mourning the deaths of Rob and Michelle Reiner.
- 1:05:52The accused is due to appear in court again on the 23rd.
- 1:05:54Which is what I just said. It represented by a public
- 1:05:56defender and the rest of it is rather tabloidy.
- 1:06:00So I just thought that I'd share that with you.
- 1:06:03Keep keeping the Reiner murders top of mine to US headline #2
- 1:06:11Christian Blood reports in KTSA. Brad Simpson defense team
- 1:06:16questions, credibility of multiple officials ahead of
- 1:06:18time. Yeah, good luck with this
- 1:06:19Stateline San Antonio. Defense attorneys for a man
- 1:06:24accused of killing his missing wife for filing a motion that
- 1:06:26questions multiple law enforcement officials ahead of a
- 1:06:30trial now delayed until at least late March.
- 1:06:34Ken's 5 reports the three people targeted in the motion are
- 1:06:36almost Park Police Chief Fidel Villegas.
- 1:06:39Almost Park Police Sergeant Melissa Campbell and Texas
- 1:06:43Ranger Jesse Paris Brad Simpson is accused in the death of
- 1:06:48Suzanne Simpson, who went missing in October 2024 and has
- 1:06:51not been seen since. Brad is the only named suspect
- 1:06:55in the case. Defense attorneys want to
- 1:06:57examine whether Chief V Jegas, we would say, allowed Almost
- 1:07:02Park Mayor Aaron Harrison to look at physical evidence
- 1:07:04related to the case. Simpson's lawyers believe if
- 1:07:07true, this action could have violated A gag order that may
- 1:07:10have already been in place. So we've read a little bit about
- 1:07:14that. We will see what happens with
- 1:07:15that motion. And then lastly AB7 Chicago the
- 1:07:20I team written by Mark Rivera, Barb Markov Christine Tressel
- 1:07:24and Tom Jones are reporting Chicago tax attorney Adam
- 1:07:28Bakarink accused of murdering wife at South Loop con South

- 1:07:56rise condo building in the South Loop.
- 1:08:00Along with six murder charges, Cook County prosecutors, we read
- 1:08:05this yesterday have added multiple concealment of a
- 1:08:08homicidal death and false reporting charges against
- 1:08:10Bakarink. So he appeared in court today
- 1:08:14pleaded not guilty. He's next due in court on March
- 1:08:1718th. And those guys, are you
- 1:08:21headlines true crime? Headlines.
- 1:08:29Okie, dokie, let us go to the comments real quick to wrap out
- 1:08:38the show. Emmy says I recommend The
- 1:08:40Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox on Hulu.
- 1:08:42That is a good recommendation. Reality Vacation says, Oh yeah,
- 1:08:48Zodiac is one of my repeat movies.
- 1:08:50It's so good. Robin says the scariest movies
- 1:08:54I've seen is the news. That's funny.

- 1:09:14instrument she plays Peanuts mom.
- 1:09:16Yep, from Houston. I guessed it correctly yeah, me.
- 1:09:20Let's see Lucy Fair coming to us live I.
- 1:09:24Think just just based on the name from probably the kitchen,
- 1:09:30the adjoining kitchen in the void which is the dwelling of
- 1:09:35payment of the underworld. I watched ET as a kid and it
- 1:09:40unsettled me so much. I won't ever watch it as an
- 1:09:43adult. When ET was in the isolation
- 1:09:45tent, it saddened me. More than scared me, but sadness
- 1:09:49as a kid is scary. I remember the same feelings.
- 1:09:53I remember sitting in the theater in Camas, Utah.
- 1:09:57I remember this specifically Next or No no, no, not Camas,
- 1:10:03Heber City, UT and I was looking over at my Big Brother, the Big
- 1:10:08Macho. Brother that I had and he was
- 1:10:11bawling his eyes out and my mom was saying to him, don't worry
- 1:10:14sweetie, don't worry sweetie, he's going to be OK.
- 1:10:17And yeah, we were all that. That was a sad and unsettling
- 1:10:23scene for sure. Diane says Silence of the Lambs.
- 1:10:27That is a terrific movie. Terrific.
- 1:10:32Scotch's mom. Please see my comment for three
- 1:10:34questions. No, you send them into the
- 1:10:37e-mail address. They're rules burn dog.
- 1:10:43I'd like to go back to my teenage years.
- 1:10:45So much fun and carefree yes, assuming that there's no
- 1:10:49butterfly effect and we're not going to mess things up because
- 1:10:52I like where it is that I landed the teenage years were a blast
- 1:10:57and and I am so sorry for the people who didn't have that
- 1:11:00experience. But for me, dude, starting, I
- 1:11:04would say starting at at I mean. You have to know sadness to know
- 1:11:09joy too, right? So it's not like it was all just
- 1:11:12rainbows and lollipops. But starting from about the time
- 1:11:16I was maybe 12 to the time I was 19, that was just, that was just
- 1:11:23so much fun. And it would be a blast to go
- 1:11:26back and re experience it or at least at least be able to watch
- 1:11:32it happening, right? It just it'd be fun.
- 1:11:36It'd be lots of fun. All right, guys, thanks so much
- 1:11:38for those questions and thanks so much for the answers.
