- 1:27We're, we won't give him, like, too much'cause he's probably gonna watch this.
- 1:31No, take that out then.
- 1:34Well, maybe you're happy because of your princess chair.
- 1:37I do love my chair.
- 1:38I think that is great.
- 1:40Yes.
- 1:41Um, for my ADHD- it's 100%...
- 1:43I can sit in it, like, a billion different ways and be so comfortable.
- 1:47I just love that foot part, like the bottom layer- Mm-hmm like, just swings around and you can do whatever with it.
- 1:53I can sit backwards.
- 1:54Mm-hmm.
- 1:54I can sit forward.
- 1:56I can sit with good- Sideways.
- 1:57Yes.
- 1:57What...
- 1:58Are you Dr.
- 1:58Seuss?
- 1:59Yes.
- 1:59I can sit on a chair.
- 2:01I can s- no, I'm just kidding.
- 2:02Um- I can sit here.
- 2:03I can sit there.
- 2:04I can sit everywhere.
- 2:06I have one in my office that's, triple wide- Mm-hmm and the arms fold down.
- 2:10Mm-hmm.
- 2:10And I can cross my legs, and I love that.
- 2:12But I do always put my feet up, got a thing under there.
- 2:15So that looks like the jam for that.
- 2:18I am obsessed.
- 2:20Mm-hmm.
- 2:20So I'm super happy that I got that one.
- 2:22Yeah.
- 2:23Yeah, Clifford definitely broke my last chair.
- 2:25Clifford.
- 2:26By jumping on me and- Yeah pushing me all the way back.
- 2:29Yeah, the only thing I don't like, like, like I said earlier, is it doesn't lean back\ at all.
- 2:32Mm-hmm.
- 2:32But that's okay'cause- Yeah I mean, I- I start goofing off when I lean back.
- 2:37So it's probably a good thing- Yeah for me, personally.
- 2:42I get that.
- 2:42Yeah.
- 2:42Yeah.
- 2:43I get that.
- 2:43All right.
- 2:44Well- So you just had some, some good stuff happening.
- 2:47And I put it together all by myself.
- 2:48And again, proud of you for that.
- 2:50Yes.
- 2:51You're doing all the things, so now you're a plumber.
- 2:53Uh.
- 2:54Never wanna do that again.
- 2:57Done with that.
- 2:58Don't hold me responsible for flooding the home.
- 3:00Check that one o- yeah.

- 3:11What else you got going on?
- 3:13Doing some hypnosis stuff?
- 3:14Well, just training- Yeah stuff, right now.
- 3:16And then, yeah, there's not, um- I don't think there's, like, much more Try not to, try not to fry outside or just melt.
- 3:26I guess it's not even fry, it's just- I haven't even gone outside really, like- Don't do it.
- 3:30Yeah, if you h- if you- I'm just- Other than let the, the dog- Yeah let them out, don't- Mm-hmm don't even take them on a walk.
- 3:35But, like, I'm using a tan, so myself.
- 3:37I know, same.
- 3:38I looked at a picture of me from when Jackson and I had done something in the summer to now, and I was like,"Oh, that's depressing." I think I'm just gonna have to go by self-tanner again.
- 3:46Mm-hmm.
- 3:46And just maintain this like- I still would use that stuff that we had, gosh, I forgot the name of it.
- 3:51Remember that foam stuff?
- 3:52The B something.
- 3:52It started with a B.
- 3:53Yeah, yeah.
- 3:54And it was, like, funny names.
- 3:55Mm-hmm.
- 3:56But, um, yeah, still use that- Yeah when I, when I wanna tan.
- 3:59Mm-hmm.
- 4:00They sell it at Walmart.
- 4:01I'm just gonna run down there and get it.
- 4:02Oh, do they really?
- 4:02Yeah I literally buy everything online.
- 4:06Yeah.
- 4:06If I, except, I mean, in groceries I do, like, the order, shipment.
- 4:10I hate to go in a store.
- 4:12If you see me in a store, just know I don't wanna be there Yeah.
- 4:15Well, I mean, you're the one that's more social than me.
- 4:18I'm like, I have my headphones in, my, like, I, my eyes are down and I don't wanna make eye contact with anybody.
- 4:26It, it's not even, like, that part, it's just the inconvenience of everything about it, it's going, and it's getting out of the car, and going in, and doing, and checking out, when I can just add to cart and it'll be here in two days.
- 4:38Mm-hmm.
- 4:39Um, yeah, so it's more the inconvenience of it.
- 4:41If I seen you in there, I'd, I'll wave.
- 4:43I'll wave to you.
- 4:44I know you...
- 4:44Yeah.
- 4:47But it's just the whole...
- 4:49Uh, some people that love to shop, and that's your thing, and that's fine, but I just can't stand it.
- 4:54Mm-mm.
- 4:55I can't stand it.
- 4:55No.
- 4:56No.
- 4:57I mean, like, if I'm going, to a store for a s- not even, like, food shopping, but, like, even regular shopping- Mm-hmm I'd rather order online if I don't like it, return it.
- 5:04Uh-huh.
- 5:04Yep, yep.
- 5:04But, um, if I have to go to a, a store, like, I want to be in and out.
- 5:08Like, I want- Mm-hmm I don't wanna go with, like, somebody that's gonna be, like, looking at every little thing, you know?
- 5:13Right.
- 5:14Right.
- 5:14100%.
- 5:15And I wanna look at what I wanna look at.
- 5:17Mm-hmm.
- 5:18And it's okay to, separate- 100, yep, yep but, don't force me, don't hold me hostage there for, like, four hours.
- 5:24This is not a hostage situation.
- 5:25Yeah.
- 5:26I am free to roam.

- 5:29If we want to.
- 5:30Um, I have your location.
- 5:31Yeah.
- 5:33And we'll call it a day.

- 5:52Concord Mills?
- 5:52Yes.
- 5:53Was, I mean,, just the- Oh, yeah exit was insane.
- 5:56I'm sure,'cause back to school stuff.
- 5:58No.
- 5:59No?

- 5:59Oh.
- 6:00You would not catch me there- Oh, no.
- 6:02Uh-uh on a weekend.
- 6:04No.
- 6:04Let alone during back to school, but, like, on a weekend, period- Yeah I would never go there.
- 6:08Like, I like nice things, I just don't wanna go shopping.
- 6:13We have some friends that, they'll go shopping multiple times over, a vacation to different outlets and different things, and I'm like,"I don't really- Want to do that Again, I don't mind going if I'm not in a rush, one.
- 6:29Mm-hmm.
- 6:29Like, if there's not like a time crunch, like you have- Mm-hmm an hour to find this one thing, like I would- Yeah do horrible at those game shows.
- 6:33Yeah.
- 6:33I was getting ready to ask about the game shows.
- 6:39I would be so bad.
- 6:40I would be awful at Jeopardy.
- 6:42I'd be aw- there's like, I don't even know what game show.
- 6:44Price is Right,'cause like- Yeah there's like a, the deity, like.
- 6:48Not a lot of skill required for that one.
- 6:50I would not do good at games.
- 6:52Did you ever see Vegas Vacation?
- 6:55Mm-mm.
- 6:56Okay.
- 6:56So, Chevy Chase and all the movies that he made, like Vegas Vacation, uh, forgot what other vacation one, but there was a, a one where they went to Vegas.
- 7:05Well, his cousin Eddie is like this redneck, very simplistic, annoying, just like dude.
- 7:14So he wants, he goes to Vegas, but he doesn't go to like the Vegas.
- 7:19He goes to like these, casinos where they have, like, random games.
- 7:23I can't even explain it.
- 7:24It's just, like, homemade games.
- 7:27Like, I don't know, pick a goldfish up with your hands and don't drop it, or something- Yeah stupid like that.
- 7:31I think I would do good at that- Like, beer pong and-'cause there's no skills.
- 7:33Yeah with, like, if it's not, like...
- 7:36I mean, beer pong.
- 7:38Really?

- 7:43But I used to, I used to crush beer pong.
- 7:45Yeah?
- 7:45I'm not good at that.
- 7:46I'm not- Not good at that one that was, that was a good one.
- 7:49Although, my eyesight's, now as I'm getting- Yeah older not as great.
- 7:51It's probably muscle memory.
- 7:52Yeah.
- 7:54Girl.
- 7:55Well, we played water pong because the kids would always wanna play.
- 7:59Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:59They used to play water pong.

- 8:06I love music bingo.
- 8:08I'm really good at music bingo.

- 12:17Yeah.
- 12:18So thankfully she didn't suffer, but still, oh, my God.

- 12:22Had to take a, certification test for work last week for, my position, so I've been stressed out about that.
- 12:27Passed it.
- 12:29I love it though,'cause they don't give you, like, a grade.
- 12:31It's just, like, pass or fail.
- 12:32Yeah.
- 12:32And I'm like,"I, I really don't care." Yeah.

- 12:36Well, I had to do my, testing for State Farm- Mm-hmm to be licensed, um, not that I sold insurance, but everybody had to be licensed in the office.
- 12:46Mm-hmm.
- 12:46It was a pass or fail, and I was like- when I, when I hit, like, the submit button, I was like,"Please, please, please, please." Yeah.

- 13:46I did.
- 13:48I did.
- 13:49I took one of our, uh, like kitchen chairs,'cause my chair is wide and it wouldn't have fit in there.
- 13:54I took one of my kitchen chairs and carried it in the bathroom, and I took like a TV tray I had gotten for when Jack's and I had gotten hurt and I was trying to put trays everywhere and tables.
- 14:03So I put one of those in there and my laptop.
- 14:05And then I had to pick up my laptop and show them the whole room.
- 14:07And I know they were like- What the heck?
- 14:10"This girl." Seriously.
- 14:12So I'm sitting there doing the test and I show them everything, and they're like,"Show us the wall behind you." And I'm like,"Here's my shower.
- 14:17Don't judge me that it's not been scrubbed today." And then they're like,"Okay, show us your phone." And I'm like,"Okay, I'd already put it up, but whatever." So I hold up my phone and I show them my phone.
- 14:28And, they're like,"Put it up." So, the vanity's on my right-hand side, I like open the drawer and throw it in there.
- 14:33And they're like,"Show us where you put it." And I showed.
- 14:35They're like,"It can't be in a drawer." And I was like,"Ugh, I have to get up and throw it in the hallway." My God.
- 14:40It was crazy.
- 14:40They wanted to see the bottom of my keyboard, if I had like an external keyboard.
- 14:45They wanted to see the bottom of my mouse pad, all these things.
- 14:49And I'm sitting there taking this test, and it's a timed test.
- 14:51Mm-hmm.
- 14:52And the questions are these questions It's nothing like the practice exam, and it's nothing like what I felt like I've studied.
- 14:58And I'm doing the things and I'm locked in and I'm like,"Okay, watching my timer and I'm like,"I'm doing good." And I do the things, and all of a sudden I hear my dog's at the door trying to get in.
- 15:11And it's Louie, and you know, he's a boxer and they're flat face and they like puff air all the time.
- 15:15I'm like,"Oh, God, please don't start barking or anything like that." So he's fine.
- 15:20He goes away.
- 15:21I don't know what he does.
- 15:21And I'm in there and I'm locked in again.
- 15:23And the time's countdown, It was 50 questions in 75 minutes.
- 15:26I was like,"I've got this." Mm-hmm.
- 15:29I start hearing puffing again, and I'm like,"Oh," and then I heard like the scratch on the door.
- 15:34And I was like,"Uh." I made it through.
- 15:37Yeah.
- 15:37Made it through.
- 15:38Didn't recheck all the ones I that I had flagged to go back but I was like, I mean, I'm probably not gonna know them anymore in five minutes than I'm gonna knew'em- so yep, I took my ACBA pr- exam in the, um the bathroom.
- 15:53Whatever works, whatever works It was so funny.
- 15:54I was like,"Okay, shower curtain open or closed?
- 15:57If I close it, they're going to see behind it.
- 15:59They might think somebody's back there." It w- uh, like, the things that I was thinking.
- 16:03Yeah.
- 16:03That's intense.
- 16:04If it is- It was- a real person so tense.
- 16:06'Cause when Dylan did his college courses- Yeah they had the proctored exams.
- 16:10Mm-hmm.
- 16:10Um, but it was just through a webcam, and you had to, show your license, make sure it was you- Yeah, yeah and whatever, and then show the room.
- 16:16And, if you didn't move within however many- Yeah seconds, It would flag red flagged you, and, like, all these things.
- 16:24Yeah.
- 16:24Well, they also had, like, you couldn't scratch your face.
- 16:27You couldn't touch your face, and of course my face itched the entire time,'cause that's all I could think about.
- 16:31And, um, like, you couldn't fidget.
- 16:33I guess they were thinking if somebody else was in there, where they were hiding, in the shower behind the curtain, I don't know.
- 16:38If somebody else was in there and you were, like, trying to signal for an answer- Mm-hmm or something.
- 16:42Like, I don't know.
- 16:43I was like, my job is important, but I'm not carrying any diseases." Yeah.
- 16:46"I promise you." Mm-hmm.
- 16:47Like, this is overkill.
- 16:48But what a boring job.
- 16:50Yeah.
- 16:50Yeah.
- 16:51If they're really paying attention- Yeah what a boring job to watch somebody else freak out all day.
- 16:57Yeah.
- 16:57So yeah, past that, so that's done.
- 16:59I'm sure it's gonna be, three months and they're gonna be like,"Okay, we want everybody to take, the next level," which is great.
- 17:03They pay for it.
- 17:04It's fine.
- 17:05It's just a layer of stress I don't need right- Mm-hmm now in my life.
- 17:08Yeah.
- 17:08But yeah, so that was last week.
- 17:09Oh, Jackson would kill me for telling you this, but you know, he's got a couple of football offers.
- 17:14He got an offer to play college rugby.
- 17:18Oh my gosh.
- 17:19At University of South Carolina.
- 17:21Shut up.
- 17:22And I don't know, like, how rugby works.
- 17:25I think it's club, it's not school.
- 17:26You still get, like, merit stuff through the school, but rugby's, like, a club.
- 17:31Kinda like lacrosse is a club, I guess.
- 17:33But I was like, this kid played, eight games and he was broken.
- 17:37And here we go.
- 17:39But- Hey.
- 17:40I know, it's pretty cool.
- 17:41Yeah.
- 17:41That's awesome.
- 17:42But now I'm freaking out again.
- 17:43Yeah.
- 17:43Because the dude was like,"You know, if you wanna apply for academic aid, you need to fill out all this stuff by this certain date and do early admission." And I'm like Mm-hmm It's actually small Was USC even, like, on his, like- No list?
- 17:59I mean, dream school- Yeah for football eventually, but, um, but no, not ever one that, like, we really...
- 18:08Football is so different, like the way that they recruit and stuff now.
- 18:11The kids that are being recruited for, like, these smaller schools like he is now, 20 years ago would've been going to the South Carolinas and the Clemsons and the, um, whatever the other schools are.
- 18:22Mm-hmm.
- 18:23Yeah.
- 18:23But the way that the recruiting process has changed and the transfer portal and, they've just changed it now, but it used to be they could play till they were like 27 in college.
- 18:31All of that has just really put the high school kids at a disadvantage.
- 18:35Mm-hmm.
- 18:36So no.
- 18:37Long answer, but no, wasn't really on his radar- Yeah because of the way that things are right now.
- 18:40But you know, it could be eventually, so.
- 18:42I look good in that color, dark red.
- 18:46I was like,"Jackson, you should post, you know, they're supposed to post all that on the X so it, like, keeps them active and stuff," and he was like,"I, I don't know." And I was like,"Whatever, I'm gonna post it for him." Well-"Give me your phone." Like I said that like I don't have access to his Twitter.
- 19:01Yeah.
- 19:02What am I?
- 19:03Y'all know better.
- 19:04Y'all know I do it.
- 19:06So anyway, that's been, yeah, it's been a, a up and down week.
- 19:10Well- Up and down week.
- 19:12So- Hopefully- Yeah we're on the up.
- 19:13Well, I have to hope we're on the up.
- 19:15Wanna, wanna high five?
- 19:15Where we high fiving?
- 19:16Okay.
- 19:16We're gonna be on the up.
- 19:17Okay, good.
- 19:18Was it last week I tried to high five you and you just, like, ghosted me?
- 19:21I put my hand out like I would do it, and then you, So awkward.
- 19:24So awkward.
- 19:26So awkward.
- 19:26It's okay.
- 19:26You know what else makes me really awkward?
- 19:28I'm sorry.
- 19:29My ADD is now kicking in.
- 19:31It's what we're here for.
- 19:32Do you know when you go on these websites, and you have to do, like, the human validation thing?
- 19:37Yes.
- 19:38Do those stress you out?
- 19:39Yes.
- 19:40Like they- Like the stupid letters?
- 19:41Or, yes, the letters are terrible,'cause, um-'Cause you can't see- Right what they really are.
- 19:45And when it's like,"Pick the bicycle," and then I start freaking out, like,"Well, does a motorcycle count as a bicycle?
- 19:52But what if that's a trike?
- 19:53Is that one?
- 19:53I can't see." Or click the stoplights, and I'm like- Yeah which ones are we considering stoplights?
- 19:55And like- There are- and stoplights, like, are you talking, like, the pole that goes with the stoplight?
- 19:56Right, or just- Or is this the- a physical light?
- 20:04They stress me out.
- 20:06Yeah.
- 20:06Mm-hmm.
- 20:08And I don't like having to pick my age, my year- Oh, no'cause it's like- It's like spinning the wheel the wheel of fortune.
- 20:15Exactly.
- 20:15I'm 77.
- 20:15How do you think that makes me feel?
- 20:17Oh, speaking of age, here's another one.
- 20:20When they email you, your pharmacy, your doctor, you emailed me- Yeah to click on my portal.
- 20:26But you wanna verify who I am before I get in there.
- 20:28You, you called me.
- 20:30Yeah.
- 20:31You should know who I am.
- 20:32You called me.
- 20:34You emailed me.
- 20:35You called me.
- 20:36Yes.
- 20:37I agree.
- 20:37I'm not answering that question.
- 20:39Yeah, un- but then you don't get the information.
- 20:42Yes.
- 20:43Okay, I think I'm done.
- 20:44Yeah.
- 20:45We'll see.
- 20:45Probably not.
- 20:46Yeah.
- 20:46So have you seen that there's a potential serial killer in Philadelphia?
- 20:50No.
- 20:50Well, they caught, but they are now, going through all this stuff.
- 20:53Mm-mm.
- 20:53It is so crazy.
- 20:54What's the deal, man?
- 20:56So they've not caught him.
- 20:57They call him, her?
- 20:59Him.
- 20:59Okay.
- 20:59Eugene Albert Forche.
- 21:02Oh, he's probably upset'cause of his name.
- 21:07Agreed.
- 21:09And he's 44.
- 21:10He's not even, like, 72.
- 21:11No, 44.
- 21:11So it's like- Did you go to school with a Eugene?
- 21:14No, I didn't- Same go to school in Philadelphia.
- 21:16Well, no, same, but, like- Oh, another Eugene nobody was named anything like that.
- 21:19No.
- 21:19No.
- 21:19And, like, even to, like, short it down to Gene, and he can't even use Albert.
- 21:23Like, Albert is his middle name.
- 21:25That's bad too.
- 21:26I know.
- 21:27Well, I mean, in my, in my point of view- Okay.
- 21:33Call him EA.
- 21:35Yeah.
- 21:35EA Sports.
- 21:37EA Horsch, you're in the game.
- 21:39Okay.
- 21:40Okay.
- 21:40A lot.
- 21:41So he lived with his father,- Raymond RC Horsch, in a house on West Chew Avenue in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood.
- 21:49Mm-hmm.
- 21:49I have no clue what that is- Mm-hmm or where it is.
- 21:51Raymond was an erotic photographer filmmaker whose work included sexualized violence and staged death scenes, and he wrote novels involving serial killers.
- 22:00Raymond died May of 2025.
- 22:02That's an important part of this.
- 22:03Okay.
- 22:04So fast-forward to June 19th, 2026, Eugene, had a completely random encounter with a US park ranger near Independence Mall.
- 22:11I do know where that is.
- 22:12Oh, do you?
- 22:12Yeah.
- 22:13That one encounter basically kicked over a rock and exposed an entire nightmare.
- 22:17Police now say photos and videos recovered in the house appear to show two women who have been missing for years alive inside the house, and later apparently dead.
- 22:25Their bodies have never been found, and those aren't even the two missing, women investigators originally started looking for.
- 22:32Oh.
- 22:32So they have found all these pictures and stuff that they are trying to now connect to missing women.
- 22:36Uh-huh.
- 22:36There are, urns full of ashes- Oh that they don't know who they belong to.
- 22:40Mm-hmm.
- 22:41And there was also, in all of this footage, and like there was video and, um, photos, also children involved as well.
- 22:50Oh.
- 22:51Some of them.
- 22:51So dude's gonna go away for a long time.
- 22:54Yeah.
- 22:54But the extent of how many people are dead- Yeah and how involved, all the things.
- 23:04Oh my gosh.
- 23:05Mm-hmm.
- 23:06Well, I'm glad they caught him.
- 23:08I wonder what happened with the park guy.
- 23:10Thank you for asking.
- 23:11Yeah.
- 23:12A US park ranger noticed Eugene and a woman inside Eugene's BMW near Independence Mall.
- 23:17The ranger reportedly heard the woman say something along the lines of,"You're going to hurt me." Authorities searched Eugene and the vehicle.
- 23:24According to investigators, they found two loaded guns, including guns with obliterated serial numbers, drugs, a switchblade, fake DEA credentials featuring Eugene's photo.
- 23:33Mm.
- 23:34I hope he gave himself a fake name.
- 23:36For real.
- 23:37Pick something else, Eugene Albert.
- 23:39Joe.
- 23:41Thousands of dollars worth of illegal drugs.
- 23:43Ooh.
- 23:44But then they checked the woman, and this is where the story goes from weird to crazy.
- 23:49Mm-hmm.
- 23:49The woman had identified, uh, identification in the name of Blair Toncelli, except she wasn't Blair Toncelli.
- 23:55Blair Toncelli is a missing woman.
- 23:57She had been reported missing in 2023.
- 23:59Investigators had information indicating Toncelli had previously been at the horse house and had worked at, as a home healthcare aid for his father.
- 24:07Oh, okay.
- 24:09So she had the lady's identification.
- 24:11Mm-hmm.
- 24:12Hmm.
- 24:12The woman with Eugene reportedly told police she didn't even know Blair.
- 24:15Mm-hmm.
- 24:15So naturally, police wanted to know how do you- Mm-hmm, what's up?
- 24:19Yeah and then down the rabbit hole they went.
- 24:21Mm.
- 24:22And they just kept finding more and more and more.
- 24:24Wow.
- 24:26So this isn't, like, quite done yet- Mm-hmm obviously, but- Mm-hmm the investigators descended on the house.
- 24:32This is what the, what ChatGPT gave me this earlier.
- 24:35Mm-hmm.
- 24:35Um, what they allegedly found reads like somebody dumped the contents of six true crime documentaries into one house.
- 24:41Authorities have reported finding guns and ammunition, fake federal credentials, including fake FBI and DEA identification, drugs, and evidence of substantial marijuana growing operation, five urns believed to contain, cremated remains, more than 20 containers of unidentified chemicals and oily substances, a bizarre amount, a bizarre basement set-up involving 55 gallon drum connected to water lines, computers, hard drives, and an enormous quantity of digital material.
- 25:11And eventually, police literally started digging up the property, removing underground pipes so forensics could examine them.
- 25:18Hmm.
- 25:21Yeah.
- 25:21Wow.
- 25:22Mm-hmm.
- 25:23That is crazy.
- 25:26Investigators also recovered writings from the house that referenced Ted Bundy, violence, zip ties, and a drum, which obviously looks absolutely horrific in context.
- 25:35Mm-hmm.
- 25:35But there is a giant complication that runs through virtually the entire investigation.
- 25:39Eugene's father was a horror erotic writer and filmmaker.
- 25:42Mm-hmm.
- 25:43So he's gonna, I'm sure use the defense of,"This was my dad's house." Mm-hmm.
- 25:46"His set up for his movies." Mm-hmm.
- 25:49But they still have the missing women that were in the photos- Right that are- That have not been found.
- 25:54Yeah.
- 25:54And can you get DNA from ashes?
- 25:57I asked you that like you knew the answer.
- 26:00I don't think you can.
- 26:02I wouldn't think so.
- 26:02Unless there's like bones or teeth or something that would be left or- I don't think so.
- 26:07I don't think so either.
- 26:09But yeah, I still think there's plenty- Mm-hmm To point to this dude.
- 26:13Yeah.
- 26:14So, Dad's a weirdo.
- 26:16Like, I shouldn't say weirdo, but it is what it is.
- 26:18Mm-hmm.
- 26:19Um.
- 26:20Mm-hmm.
- 26:21Well, what, tell us about Mom, you know?
- 26:23Yeah, Mom's not, Mom's not listed.
- 26:26Oh, Raymond had his own criminal history.
- 26:27Dad had a criminal history too.
- 26:29Okay.
- 26:29Raymond was not simply an eccentric photographer.
- 26:32In 2009, police responded to his residence, ultimately discovered 455 marijuana plants and two shotguns.
- 26:39He later pleaded guilty to three felonies and received 54 months in prison.
- 26:43When he got out of prison in 2013, Robert and Eugene were living together at the house that they just- Raymond.
- 26:48Yeah.
- 26:49Oh, Raymond and Eugene.
- 26:50Yeah.
- 26:50What did I say?
- 26:51Robert.
- 26:51Oh.
- 26:52I was trying to give him- a better name.
- 26:54You're trying to help him out.
- 26:56And then Raymond died in 2025.
- 26:58So they can't, sit him down.
- 26:59They can't ask him questions.
- 27:00They can't go over anything.
- 27:02That's a freaking Criminal Minds episode.
- 27:04Yeah.
- 27:07Yeah.
- 27:07That is cuckoo cachoo, for real.
- 27:10Wow.
- 27:11Yeah.
- 27:12they found 600,000 images so far.
- 27:16Okay.
- 27:1670,000 videos.
- 27:18Mm.
- 27:18And 10,000 pages of writings and drawings.
- 27:21That's a ton of stuff.
- 27:23Which do you think is worse?
- 27:24Like this one or P.
- 27:25Diddy's?
- 27:26Do I have to answer that?
- 27:27No.
- 27:29They're both evil.
- 27:30They're both...
- 27:31Yeah, that's both- Yeah they're both really bad.
- 27:33So- Really, really bad yeah, I mean, this is just going into, like, the chemicals and whatever.
- 27:36Yeah, that's a lot.
- 27:38That's a lot of stuff.
- 27:39Yeah.
- 27:39So this is not over, and I'm sure we're gonna continue getting- His dad died fairly young, though.
- 27:44So he died last year.
- 27:46Eugene is 44.
- 27:47His dad's probably, like, mid-60s.
- 27:51I wonder if he killed his dad.
- 27:53I wonder, have you watched the new Criminal Minds?
- 27:56Some.
- 27:56You know how the, the main dude- Mm-hmm um, who's, like, in jail now but helping the- Mm-hmm FBI, his uncle, taught him.
- 28:04Oh, yeah I wonder if this is, like, that situation.
- 28:06Very possible Very possible.
- 28:11Gross.
- 28:11Yeah, very gross.
- 28:13Another situation, have you been following the Lindsey Clancy stuff?
- 28:16Yes, here and there.
- 28:17Okay.
- 28:18So I just found out about this,'cause apparently I live under a rock- Mm within about the past week, and I've been doing some, you know, TikTok research because that's where the, the Lord does his work.
- 28:28Yeah.
- 28:29And, I have so many mixed emotions.
- 28:31So if you don't know what we're talking about, she's a lady who unalived her three children and tried to do that to herself, and she is currently on trial.
- 28:41And she's not on trial for the act, she's on trial to see if she's competent- To stand to stand trial, pretty much.
- 28:51Yeah.
- 28:51Um, for, well, I don't even know if it's competent to stand trial or just to figure out what kind of punishment they would give her or where they would put her or whatever.
- 28:59Mm-hmm.
- 28:59But basically she was battling, like, postpartum stuff.
- 29:02And what's so crazy to me She did all the things.
- 29:05Mm-hmm.
- 29:06Which is what they're arguing, is that she, reached out so many times saying,"I need help.
- 29:11I need help.
- 29:11I need help," and they'd help her for, like, a day and then- But her husband, there are so many things that's- Uh-huh wrong with this situation.
- 29:18Uh-huh.
- 29:18And I honestly, like, question everything.
- 29:22Uh-huh.
- 29:23Including the deaths.
- 29:25Yeah.
- 29:26I really do.
- 29:27Well, we know a lot about murder.
- 29:29Yeah.
- 29:31You know, we both read a lot and we do.
- 29:32Yeah.
- 29:33Women typically aren't, like, stranglers.
- 29:36Mm-hmm.
- 29:37Yeah.
- 29:38And that caught my attention too, that that's how that happened.
- 29:41Yeah.
- 29:42Yeah, there's a lot of red flags, everywhere.
- 29:44The husband is sus to me.
- 29:46Mm-hmm.
- 29:47There's something off with that.
- 29:49Yeah.
- 29:49So.
- 29:50Yeah, I agree.
- 29:51I'm not saying that it's not possible that she did it, but I just, I- Well- I feel like there's, there's a lot of layers to that- Yeah that has not been uncovered.
- 30:00And then the district attorney telling, saying for her to shut up when they were reading the autopsy, under his breath- Mm-hmm it was like a hot mic moment.
- 30:07Mm-hmm.
- 30:08Um, just like,"Shut her up," or something to that effect.
- 30:11Yeah.
- 30:11Like- Yeah how unprofessional.
- 30:13I know.
- 30:13I know.
- 30:14It's crazy.
- 30:15There's so much.
- 30:16And so, well, she, she was struggling with her mental health.
- 30:19I mean, it's documented, all the- Yeah all the visits and the medication she tried.
- 30:23Like, there's evidence she was struggling with that.
- 30:25But was she struggling with that because of something else that he was doing?
- 30:30Mm-hmm.
- 30:30Or was it truly postpartum?
- 30:32Or, I mean, I don't know, there's a thousand different things that, could've led to that.
- 30:35Or was it just he was putting her in that situation to...
- 30:40Anyway, it's, there's a lot to unpack with that.
- 30:42Yeah.
- 30:43So I'm kinda invested in that.
- 30:45Yeah.
- 30:45Just as I'm scrolling, seeing the stuff- Mm-hmm and people's commentary and, I mean, everybody has an opinion, and that's okay.
- 30:51Right.
- 30:51Like, everybody can have their opinion, but I also think that, some people, kind of run their mouths too quickly Yeah before, everything is revealed- Yeah, yeah and which is not okay to.
- 31:02Right.
- 31:03Well, it's very easy to be reactive.
- 31:05You see something and hear something and you're like,"Oh my God," like,"That's crazy," and then not to think about all the different points of view- Mm-hmm that could be, contributing factors to this stuff.
- 31:15Yeah.
- 31:15But anyway, so that's still going on.
- 31:17We'll see what happens with that.
- 31:19Mm-hmm.
- 31:23Okay, on Instagram I saw'Cause we know we love our Florida man stories.
- 31:27We do.
- 31:28Florida man arrested after leading police on a three mile per hour chase down a highway on a motorized bar stool.
- 31:35While holding a lit sparkler.
- 31:36The visual, the visual of that.
- 31:43Yeah, and then there was another one not too long ago that I saw that was, like, a Florida man tried to go through a Wendy's drive-through, on an alligator, like, as his vehicle to go through the drive-through.
- 31:56So when I hear these stories, do you automatically picture somebody?
- 31:59Yes, my brother.
- 32:03For both of those?
- 32:04For everything.
- 32:05For everything?
- 32:06For every one of these stories.
- 32:06I tagged him in the, in the- Not Eugene, not Eugene.
- 32:09No.
- 32:10You don't picture your brother as being- No, no, no, like, these Florida man stories- I'm just kidding.
- 32:13Yeah 100%, I picture my brother doing some stupid stuff.
- 32:17So I immediately think, like, old man.
- 32:21Like, old man in jorts.
- 32:24No, I picture my brother.
- 32:26You picture your brother.
- 32:27Mm-hmm.
- 32:27Just waving the sparkler.
- 32:28Yeah.
- 32:29That's great.
- 32:30Mm-hmm.
- 32:30I tagged him in the clip- from last week, or two weeks ago.
- 32:33I'm like,"Kevin, was this you?" When the drunk guy that was looking for himself.
- 32:37That's hilarious.
- 32:38That's, that one was a great story.
- 32:40Yes, so.
- 32:41That was a great story.
- 32:42Sorry, Kevin, but 100%.
- 32:44So we had somebody that sent us a DM about our drunk person story.
- 32:49Oh.
- 32:50Not really, they texted me, but- I was like,"Eh" we'll try to keep it anonymous.
- 32:52It's like I didn't, I didn't see a DM come through.
- 32:55Who is it?
- 32:55So this lady knew somebody who knew somebody, was a relative of somebody.
- 33:00Mm-hmm.
- 33:01That this dude and this brother went out on jet skis, got drunk, and they got lost on the lake.
- 33:08And, the search party got called in to look for them, and he saw the search party, but he kept running and, he didn't wanna get in trouble because he didn't want his wife to know.
- 33:18The next night he was found.
- 33:22Oh.
- 33:23Mm-hmm.
- 33:24Oh.
- 33:25He didn't want his wife to know he'd been drinking, so that was his solution is just like- Start messing with another person What did he say?
- 33:30Where did he say he was?
- 33:31That was it.
- 33:32Oh.
- 33:33Could you imagine me in that wife?
- 33:34I'd be so fucking mad.
- 33:36That would be a lot,'cause you're terrified- Yeah and you're downloading Tinder.
- 33:40I'm just I'm trying to figure out, do I swipe left or right?
- 33:44Like, which way do I go?
- 33:45And then I'm trying to call the life insurance company, and then all of a sudden they're like,"Oh, he- we found him," and I'm like- Dang it Mother trucker.
- 33:55Brian and I joke about that all the time.
- 33:57He had, appendicitis and had to have his...
- 33:58Just randomly, just boom, appendix, and, had to have his appendix out.
- 34:02And, I followed him from the,, urgent care.
- 34:06He had to go via ambulance to the hospital.
- 34:09Well, first of all, he jokes because between the two places, I pulled into Wendy's and got some lunch and met him there.
- 34:14He's like,"You came into the room smelling like a Wendy's hamburger." And I was like,"Also, I was downloading Tinder, so it took me quite a minute for..." Or Farmers Only or something stupid.
- 34:24Yeah.
- 34:25And he was like,"I'm sure you already matched with somebody by that time." Well, you know- Uh-huh I just gotta keep moving forward.
- 34:32That's what they say, you know?
- 34:33You can't look in the rear view mirror.
- 34:34You gotta press on.
- 34:36And I'm not one to...
- 34:37Ain't nobody gonna hold me down.
- 34:39Ain't nobody gonna there's our song for the day Move on.
- 34:46Okay.
- 34:46Okay.
- 34:47Do you want to do Am I That Mom?
- 34:48Yeah, so I found one- Okay, go for it on the socials.
- 34:51Mm-hmm.
- 34:52And, this was from somebody in Charlotte.
- 34:54Oh, I love local.
- 34:55I know.
- 34:55So it was, like, in a, a Charlotte moms group or something.
- 34:58Uh-huh.
- 34:58And I was like,"I'm gonna hang onto this one because this is gonna be fun." Did you see that they're giving, Facebook the owners of the group, the option to take away anonymous- Oh public means, and just go back to, having to, stand on it 10 toes down?
- 35:12I like that though.
- 35:13I think people should have to be, I think every group...
- 35:14That was the dumbest thing that they've ever done.
- 35:17I don't think I've- And I just thought- commented anonymous anywhere.
- 35:20No.
- 35:20I just don't comment.
- 35:22I don't post.
- 35:24I lurk.
- 35:25Yeah.
- 35:26It's cool.
- 35:26I think that's great.
- 35:27I do too.
- 35:28I hate anonymous posts.
- 35:30The only way that there's any good is if it's, like, an embarrassing, health thing or financial thing where people don't have anywhere to go and they need to ask- But- the Facebook world- But, uh- how do I fix this boil on my butt?
- 35:43Well, go to your doctor.
- 35:45Okay.
- 35:45That's the advice you're gonna get is, go to your doctor.
- 35:47Go to the doctor.
- 35:48But as far as the financial thing though, I think everybody that posts anonymously, I'm like,"That's a scam." You know?
- 35:53Yeah, that's true.
- 35:55I don't trust anybody.
- 35:55That's true.
- 35:55I don't tru- I have trust issues.
- 35:57Yeah.
- 35:57Uh, well, you know, I get that.
- 35:59I get that.
- 35:59Okay, so let's jump on in.
- 36:02Am I the a-hole for wanting to set some serious boundaries with my new neighbor after only two weeks?
- 36:07We have a new neighbor who moved in about two weeks ago, and ever since she moved in she's been asking me for favors constantly.
- 36:14In just two weeks she's asked to borrow a broom, a drill, screwdrivers, and other random things.
- 36:19She's also asked me multiple times to print documents for her.
- 36:22She actually owns a printer, she just hasn't bothered setting it up yet.
- 36:26And it's not just asking.
- 36:28If she sends me something to print and I don't respond within a few minutes, she will literally send follow-up messages asking me the status of her documents.
- 36:35Mm-hmm.
- 36:35Yeah.
- 36:36You want me to just...
- 36:36You wanna stop there?
- 36:38She texts me at least twice a day asking for something.
- 36:41She's also suggested that I watch her two-year-old for her.
- 36:45For context, I'm pregnant and I already have three small children of...
- 36:48Bless you.
- 36:49Wow.
- 36:50Okay, sorry.
- 36:51I already have three small children of my own at home.
- 36:53I have plenty on my plate without casually adding in someone else's toddler to the mix.
- 36:58But the situation that really bothered me happened the other day.
- 37:01So that's just the build-up.
- 37:02I'm already out.
- 37:03I'm already out.
- 37:03I'm already...
- 37:04My house is on the market.
- 37:06My number has changed.
- 37:07Or she has been blocked.
- 37:08Mm-hmm.
- 37:08Or whatever.
- 37:09All of the things.
- 37:10Yeah.
- 37:11She invited me to go to the neighborhood pool with her and our kids.
- 37:14At one point she started talking to some random person she'd literally just met and basically stopped paying attention to her two-year-old.
- 37:21Her daughter started running to the deep end of the pool and I had to leave what I was doing with my children to run after her because I was afraid she was gonna jump into the deep end.
- 37:28Meanwhile, mom was completely distracted chatting away with someone that she had just met.
- 37:33That really rubbed me the wrong way because I didn't agree to be responsible for her child.
- 37:37I was there supervising my own children and suddenly I was put in a position where I had to choose between watching mine and making sure her toddler didn't drown.
- 37:44The thing is, I genuinely don't mind helping people.
- 37:46If my neighbor needs to borrow something occasionally or needs a quick favor, sure, I'm happy to help.
- 37:51But I'm starting to feel like she's confusing my willingness to be nice with me being available to her whenever she needs something.
- 37:57We have known each other for two weeks.
- 38:00Yeah.
- 38:01I'm her neighbor, not her personal assistant, printing service, tool rental, or babysitter.
- 38:06I don't wanna create drama because we live right next to each other, that's the thing.
- 38:10Yeah.
- 38:10But I'm starting to feel like my goodwill's being taken advantage of and am I being the a-hole for being annoyed and wanting to start saying no to most of these requests?
- 38:17I don't think so at all.
- 38:18I think that she is, well within her rights to hit block and- Yeah.
- 38:23I do too, it's just direct neighbor.
- 38:25Yeah.
- 38:26That's- I still, I'd be okay with having a, some conflict with a neighbor if- You're pulling up, taking your earrings out, and putting your hair up in a bun like already ready to go.
- 38:37Girl.
- 38:38I know.
- 38:38I know.
- 38:39So the comments are, you know, I would turn off notifications and not respond to her, um, i- is a lot of things.
- 38:45Um- But still, like- She has, she has too much access.
- 38:51Mm-hmm.
- 38:52Like, she's way too comfortable with that.
- 38:53Mm-hmm.
- 38:54Two, you've known somebody two weeks?
- 38:55I, I, but, and then you're let- you're, like, you don't really know her, and you're saying, like,"Watch my kid," that's...
- 39:01Oh, I already talked about my neighbor in Nash- Mm-hmm or when we lived in Tennessee- Yeah, took advantage of you for that she was the next step.
- 39:06Yeah.
- 39:06And I just thought it was so strange.
- 39:08I would never leave Dylan with, like, when he was that little- Mm-hmm with somebody I didn't know.
- 39:13No, not at all.
- 39:15Not at all.
- 39:17This person said,"Only read half of this and I can tell you you're not the." Oh, leave now, run.
- 39:22And I get all of that, but it's the neighbor part that's just so- Maybe it's my, Northern in me that I'm like, I- don't give a flying flip.
- 39:31I know.
- 39:32I, I can easily just pretend you're not there.
- 39:35I love that, though.
- 39:35I'm not really like that.
- 39:38I'm not like that, and I wish I was.
- 39:39But everybody's pretty much like, no, you're not.
- 39:41But somebody's like,"Offer to set up her printer for her," and I'm like,"No, that's just opening the door to-" To do all the things.
- 39:46Right.
- 39:47No.
- 39:47No.
- 39:48I would just say,"You have a printer.
- 39:49Use it." My printer, my printer's out of ink, sorry.
- 39:52Yeah.
- 39:53There you go.
- 39:53Yeah.
- 39:54Sorry.
- 39:54Yeah, that's fine.
- 39:55I'm sending all of your other documents that ran my printer out of ink.
- 39:57Right.
- 39:58I'll send you an invoice for a new ink cartridge.
- 40:03Yeah, isn't that crazy, though?
- 40:04I couldn't imagine being that pushy.
- 40:06Mm-mm.
- 40:07all right.
- 40:07So, we are gonna do a doc next week, and it is Conversations With a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes.
- 40:12It is three episodes long on Netflix.
- 40:14So if you are not a bookie, prepare for next week- and come to us.
- 40:19You're That's cute.
- 40:24That's cute.
- 40:25But- Mm we love you.
- 40:26Thank you for listening and come back next week.
- 40:27We do love you even though I make fun of you.
- 40:29Bye.
- 40:29Bye.
- 40:31All right, bookies.
- 40:31We are going to discuss our book.
- 40:34Yes, and it was called It's Your Turn Now by Theo Baxter.
- 40:37All right, so do you want to, do you want to start with the characters?
- 40:41Sure.
- 40:42All right, so our character, starts with Daisy.
- 40:44Yep.
- 40:44She's our main character.
- 40:45Daisy is trapped in a longterm abusive relationship- Mm-hmm with Bruce, who is her husband.
- 40:50Time out.
- 40:51These names drive me crazy.
- 40:52I know.
- 40:53Okay.
- 40:54Time in.
- 40:54So Bruce is- Mm-hmm a violent, controlling, psychologically abusive husband.
- 40:59Mm-hmm.
- 41:00Physically abusive too.
- 41:01Yeah.
- 41:01Mm-hmm.
- 41:01And he does all the things.
- 41:02Yep.
- 41:02He's just a piece of- Not good stuff.
- 41:08Marco, Marco, appears charming- Yeah and turns into- Uncharming.
- 41:16And we have Sarah.
- 41:18Sarah.
- 41:19Sarah is- Appears at first to be- Uh charming and she ends up being charming.
- 41:26Sarah's Marco's wife.
- 41:27Yes.
- 41:28So those are our main characters.
- 41:29Yeah.
- 41:29Oh, we have Daniel too.
- 41:30Yeah, he's, he's a side piece.
- 41:32Daniel- Literally.
- 41:34He's a neighbor side piece- Yeah for Daisy.
- 41:36Yeah.
- 41:37Yeah.
- 41:37Okay.
- 41:38So, you have lots of things to say, so let's- Well- get started my lots of things really aren't that much, I just want to go on a tangent about one specific thing.
- 41:46Okay.
- 41:46I understand that Daisy was in a relationship that was horribly abusive and he was controlling, but she made me insane.
- 41:56I don't know if it was just, I don't think naive is the right word, maybe it is, just gullible and just we're 10 steps ahead of you, girl.
- 42:04We already know what's gonna happen.
- 42:05I need you to come with us and handle this situation because we already got there.
- 42:11And I don't know if that's intentional by the writer.
- 42:15I don't know if he's wanting to make the book longer Yeah.
- 42:18Yeah, but he's- I mean- But that was the biggest, like it was annoying to me that I came really close to not finishing the book- Yeah because I just needed Daisy to get on board.
- 42:28It was very, very redundant.
- 42:30Uh- Uh-huh um,"I'm scared.
- 42:32I'm-" Uh-huh.
- 42:32And just the,"Oh, no, are we saying, he's a killer?" Yeah.
- 42:36Like, what?
- 42:37Mm.
- 42:37I, I just, I don't like characters like that.
- 42:41Uh, I, I don't know.
- 42:42I- Well, this book for me was hard anyway- Mm-hmm because we've read many of these versions of this book before.
- 42:48Yeah.
- 42:48And it's all based off of, The Stranger on the Train- Yes the original story.
- 42:53Yes.
- 42:53And...
- 42:54Everybody's trying to do these new twists on it- Mm-hmm and it's hard to do it justice.
- 42:58Yeah.
- 42:58And I don't think that this did it justice.
- 43:00This didn't do anybody any justice- Yeah at all.
- 43:03They wanted to take Stranger on the Train and then put it with a heavy, domestic violence twist.
- 43:08Yeah.
- 43:08Yep.
- 43:08Yep.
- 43:09And like I said, I understand her situation is bad and that's made her passive and meek and timid and the things, but you don't have to be those things and just stupid.
- 43:26I just felt like the book was very, redundant over and over and over again.
- 43:29Right.
- 43:29Of like, yes, we get it.
- 43:31And again, not belittling or not, like- Correct making this- No any less about the domestic violence.
- 43:38Right.
- 43:38But it was just She was- beating a horse.
- 43:41Yeah.
- 43:42Yeah.
- 43:43She was slow on the uptake with a lot of things.
- 43:45For example, you meet a man randomly in a bookstore who starts talking about switching killing partners, and you're like,"Huh, okay, cool." But she never agreed to it.
- 43:54She did not agree to it.
- 43:55She never did.
- 43:55He just went on, and then he, he took Duke's place of controlling her.
- 43:59Yeah, What was crazy to me, though, is he's like,"Here's my number or whatever, and get in touch with me about it," and but didn't give her any time to decide what she wanted to do.
- 44:08No, he didn't wait for a phone call.
- 44:09Right.
- 44:09He just did it.
- 44:10He just made the decision that he was like,"We're moving forward with this plan.
- 44:12Okay, thanks.
- 44:13Yeah, bye." And it happens.
- 44:16But because, he again, started out charming, started out, pretending he was the victim and that- Mm-hmm Sarah, his wife, was the abuser, and she was cheating on him and doing all the things.
- 44:24Mm-hmm.
- 44:24And he was trapped in this marriage because he gave her all the properties as a gift, in her name, so he would have to walk away with nothing.
- 44:31And then, it, you know, turns out he's obviously- Right the, the bad guy.
- 44:36But he knew who he was looking for.
- 44:37He knew- Mm-hmm to look...
- 44:39like, he- Mm-hmm zoned in on the, uh- Yeah abused woman.
- 44:42Mm-hmm.
- 44:42He was able to recognize it.
- 44:43Right.
- 44:44100%, agreed.
- 44:45And went after that.
- 44:46Yeah, because that's what happens is he found, Daisy, and Daisy ends up trying to meet Sarah.
- 44:55And as she's talking to Sarah and meets Sarah, she's like,"Wait, Sarah's a lot like me." And I'm like,"No shit, Daisy.
- 45:00We knew that." Yeah.
- 45:01But anyway, he knew the type.
- 45:03He knew what vibes they give off and just how they act, how that- Yeah, because that's what he's doing to his wife.
- 45:09Exactly.
- 45:10He knows that- Things dark very well.
- 45:12So he knows what to look for, and that's what he's looking for, somebody that he can control.
- 45:17But if somebody hands you this book, Stranger on a Train- Mm-hmm like, I'd be like,"I'm gonna go to the next bookstore, uh- Yep later." Yep.
- 45:24I'll do audiobooks anyway.
- 45:25Yeah.
- 45:26Let's go ahead and, and jump on out of here.
- 45:28My bad.
- 45:29I thought this was that liquor store.
- 45:31Um.
- 45:32I mean, I, it just blows my mind.
- 45:34I know.
- 45:35I know.
- 45:35It was...
- 45:36I was not a, a fan of Theo's writing.
- 45:38No.
- 45:39I think I've read other books by him that wasn't this bad.
- 45:42It, this was just very- That that's- You know, it's accurate.
- 45:46The s- your story gets your point across, but I mean, I took three naps in the middle of the book.
- 45:50Yeah.
- 45:50So, anyway, so Marco comes to collect after he kills Bruce, and he's like,"Okay, now you have to kill her." She tries to, meet Sarah, and she does talk to Sarah a little bit, and then, she figures out that she's like me or like her.
- 46:04Brian, we need to talk.
- 46:05I've already told you, I tried to kill him off with this, uh- Appendicitis?
- 46:09appendix, yeah.
- 46:10Yeah, she just got on my nerves the whole time.
- 46:12And, this whole time she's, having a little dalliance with Daniel, the neighbor.
- 46:16And at first I thought the way she comes across as being just ditzy and naive and trusting- Mm-hmm I thought she was putting on a show.
- 46:26Yeah.
- 46:27And she was trying to connive Daniel into doing things for her.
- 46:30Okay.
- 46:31That's what I w- I thought at any moment it was gonna be like,"Mwah." Never got that.
- 46:36Nope.
- 46:37But he was setting up to take her away.
- 46:39He was setting up to take her away, but I thought she was going to be a manipulator.
- 46:43We also, like, find out that, Bruce.
- 46:45His dad's the mayor.
- 46:46Yep.
- 46:46And so there's a lot of political power.
- 46:48There's a lot of, Which is why she didn't leave him.
- 46:49Right.
- 46:50One of the reasons why she didn't leave.
- 46:51Right.
- 46:51Yeah.
- 46:51So and she feels like, even if she tried to run away, they would, um...
- 46:54'Cause Daniel, his father, the mayor- Mm-hmm had his mother committed to a mental institution- Yeah and then supposedly committed suicide.
- 47:03Yeah.
- 47:03So she was afraid that she would have the same fate.
- 47:06Mm-hmm.
- 47:07Which I can understand.
- 47:08Like, that's very- Mm-hmm intimidating.
- 47:09Mm-hmm.
- 47:09And so I can see,- even without that factor, being in an abusive relationship, I can see not leaving.
- 47:15Right.
- 47:15Because you are so worn down, and you're, just don't have the confidence to leave, and, um- Mm-hmm you don't have the resources or- The resources you're isolated Right.
- 47:24Yep You don't have the financial support you would need, and she doesn't wanna go to her parents because she doesn't want her parents to get involved and to put them in danger and all those thoughts.
- 47:32Right.
- 47:33So, that was a big factor, with the family- Mm-hmm dynamic.
- 47:37And why she didn't leave Bruce.
- 47:38Right.
- 47:39Yeah.
- 47:40So her only option, in that moment, she felt was like,"Well, maybe this is an option- Mm-hmm to get him," like- And she thought about it, but she get him whacked.

- 48:47There was this guy and his name was Richard Kuklinski, and they called him The Ice Man, is what they called him,'cause he would put his victims in- On ice on ice.
- 48:57And then,, this was,, I think, like, the'70s or whatever, and then he'd eventually, you know, years later, leave them out, and they couldn't determine time of death or anything because they'd been frozen.
