There's no place to escape to. This is the last time on the left
Yeah, it's not a swimmer's body
About it. I'm the equivalent of you threw a golden retriever into an Olympic pool
Oh
We're gonna go we're gonna go this is the episode
All right, this is the last podcast on the left. I am Ben Kissel. That's Marcus Park. Hello little chupa-cabra
Okay, and Henry hi
I ever do in the water I go in the pool and one of my favorite things to do is that I watch all my hairs float up
Oh, you ever do that and run it through I have I'm so thick. Yeah, I hear so thick like all over me
It's so like it used to grow in squirrels and now what's unlike I look it looks like dogs hair
All right, we got part two of pee-wee gaskets. It's just kids
I mean this episode is gonna be disgusting full disclosure here. I don't agree with this guy
It's gonna be disgusting. No problem that you said that up top
Um, just to help your career help our careers
Yes, so I have been currently reading the original stories of Conan the Barbarian by Robert E. Howard
Uh-huh, you have it you fucking should because it is a little
Comorotic, uh-huh, but besides that the wet glutes of the man. It's actually kind of nice. Did you say it was Kono?
Erotic
Erotic oh, okay, it's kind of fun cuz it's just big wet thick men fighting each other Cleveland skulls
A lot of people can like by the sort of the graph. Yeah, it's really fun shit
Cool, but there's a there's a segment here that
Reminded me of pee-wee Conan in one just when one moment reminded me of people. All right
Conan stared in wonder at the cold classic beauty of that countenance. He's looking at a giant snake
Yeah, okay, they cover that book by the way. It is very erotic by the way. No, no, no, it is brave. They're heroic
Okay, all right. All right Conan stared in wonder at the cold classic beauty of that countenance
Who's like he had never seen among the sons of men
Neither weakness nor mercy nor cruelty nor kindness or any other human emotion was in those features
They might have been the marble mask of a god carved by a master hand except for the unmistakable life in them
Life cold and strange such as the Samarian had never known and could not understand
He thought fleetingly of the marble perfection of the body which the screen concealed
It must be perfect. He thought since the face was so inhumanly beautiful
But he could see only the godlike face the finally molded head which swayed curiously from side to side
the full lips
Opened and spoke a single word in a rich
Vibrant tone that was like the golden chimes that's ring in the jungle lost temples of Keith. Hi
It was an unknown tongue forgotten before the kingdoms of man arose, but Conan knew what it meant
come
You're an adult reading that
You're a grown man, and this is this reminded you of Pee Wee Gaskins how exactly looking at the snake
And then he's just like I am the snake and went back and forth
But Conan fucking cuts heads off the spray and bloody cuts guys fucking guts open
It's all sorts of weird shit. There's snake women. He's always grabbing on breasts
So you know he's straight and he's running around like it's not it's great. No date Henry Zabrowski
Look at that
I wanted a date last night. Oh
Natalie and I went to go see the shape of water and I tell you what there's a hundred percent more active fish fucking in that movie
Then was advertised
The shape of water it's a little little hint. It's whatever you put it in I know it's stunning
It's stunning. All right. Let's get back to Pee Wee Gaskins part two and again
This is this episode's brutal. There's gonna get we're gonna get some bad shit here
So after going down for transport in a stolen car across state lines and being complicit in the jailbreak at the
Contortionist husband on top of the successful garbage can escape
Pee Wee Gaskins arrived in the federal prison in Atlanta
I'm gonna say this time and I don't normally say this but I deserve this prison sentence and that's the final truth
I know where the final truth lies and it lives with me being in jail
So things ran a little smoother in federal prison though
And they were a little less chaotic unlike the power man hellhole Pee Wee was used to over in state prison
Yes, now this was in part because these federal prisons housed both small-time crooks like Pee Wee and
nationally-known criminals like New York City mafia boss Frank Costello aka the prime minister Wow
They talk to me and they call me the prime minister because I was elected
Because I have some dumb shit in bread where you're getting sick of the queen she comes near me a slap of daddy's
dog
What was one of your policy positions there to win this election because I remember hearing about that
Connolly's
Make sure you bring this nice ruggles. Oh, it's so nice
He's got them all the nuts on the outside. It's got the fruit
In the middle, you know, it's like, oh my wrong
I get why you won. That's a hell of a platform connolly's in the mid 1950s
Because Stella got picked up for a tax evasion charge as these guys are want to do now
I did a little cross referencing and it does look like Frank Costello and Pee Wee
Gaskins were in Atlanta federal at the same time because of course the only source we have on this is
Final truth there it is
But we don't know if Pee Wee's side of the story is actually true because Pee Wee goes into it just a little bit
all right
Pee Wee said that his reputation from the state prison and his brilliant garbage can escape had somehow made its way to Atlanta federal
He went into the garbage can and was able to escape that way
Say it again to me. I'm so impressed. Yeah. Oh, that's incredible. Yeah, what bring him to me
So a few weeks after pulling banana peels off his head
Snickers rapper
No, a few weeks after Pee Wee arrived
He said Costello summoned him through a few mob lieutenants that somehow made their way to Atlanta federal as well
And when the two met Costello shook Pee Wee's hand and said
So, you have a little hatchet man
Apparently according to Pee Wee his reputation was so impressive that
Costello had even heard about him trying to kill a girl with a hatchet and failing when he was a kid
Oh, and so from that day on a little hatchet man is what Pee Wee was called
Well hatch a man what I like about you so much me and all the boys mean skinny Pete and fat Greg and what's funny
Is because they give him the nickname and that's the opposite
But you which is what I like is that you all your nicknames so appropriate little hatchet man
I just want to put you up in my little pocket. Oh, you just like a little tic-tac toy
It's like oh, it's just I'm gonna suck on you like oh, you like a little
mouth
Yeah, Pee Wee Polly in your pocket Pee Wee said from then on his real education began
He said in final truth quote
They were my professors whenever I followed their advice. I always came out. Okay
It was the times that I didn't do what they advise that I found myself in deep shit, and that's a final truth
It's gotta be
Sounds like the unwanted son of the Simpsons character the rich Texan
See Pee Wee thought that these guys were about the most brilliant people on earth
Of course he does
Wow and since he heard somewhere that Italian mobsters were referred to as wise guys
Pee Wee referred to these criminals as the three wise men
I think it's part of remember because guys is more casual
No, I go it up saying that the wise man because that's what they are big brownie man fit
Well, I can say you know, you know, what's so wonderful about the Italian rice is that they got you know
They're Italian by the size of the rings on their smallest finger
Right Pee Wee, I gotta ask you, you know the three wise men. It's a biblical term there
They went to they went to the barn not Jesus and all that stuff. You mean to say I'm copywriting
Picasso said good artist borrow great ours steal. So it's kind of funny, right? That's kind of good, right?
I would say that's almost a final truth. You could say that you could actually say that
Throughout final truth Pee Wee again and again refers to these guys when he talks about disposing of bodies
Calling the things he learned from them the wise men's rules
Now it could be that he was making all this shit up
But on the other hand I can kind of see a bunch of New York mobsters taking this little psychopath under their wing for amusement in prison
Kind of like a little mascot. Absolutely. And you know say what you want about the mob
They know how to dispose of a body. They are on top of that game
What was the fellow that we covered there in Canada picked it picked it?
I think picked it in the mob who can who can dispose of a body better?
They never found they never found that one fella Jimmy Hoffa Jimmy Hoffa Jimmy Hoffa was told to me by a wise guy in my
Neighborhood when I was grew up in Queens that he was chopped up and fed to dogs. Is that right?
Yeah, and I was 10 when he told me this thing. I'll always remember
They're really great. And I can you also imagine they caught Pee Wee cause they got Pee Wee guests there
You're like the best spot while I'm about peeing is that I know cuz say what you will about his attitude. It's shitty
Say we have bad by every single thing that he says it's mean
He's telling me a little bestie not do like the parts of it parts of that parts of him make me upset
But I do like is that every time he knows is right. He gets hard like a little turkey time. Oh, we all love it
Don't you a pee we pee. We uh, what color is this pen?
Um, it's red. That's fun. Whoa
It's a wonderful gift to parties
That is a good gift. It would be nice if we had that
You never never tell a lie. Why would you?
Well, according to Pee Wee the whole thing was very serious and very respectful
Said there was a mutual respect there that you cannot replicate
Well, you know the classiest conversations happen in glorified bathrooms that have cuts in them. Yes. Yes
Well, Pee Wee said that two months after Costello and his men were released from prison Pee Wee got a package in the mail
Inside was an English to Italian Italian to English dictionary
$300 and an address in New York City on Elizabeth Street a.k.a.
Lillily
This did not happen
Covered in hair
That he got a care package from the mafia to come show up
From Frank Costello one of the most powerful mobsters of the 20th century
The worst part about sending a edible arrangement from the mafia is that the Mutsudel always slides down the sticks
It never stays. Oh, it's so hard to send antiposs in the mail
Well, Pee Wee never made it up here to New York City, but about the offer he said now, you know
I can't help wondering how different my life might have turned out if I took them up their offer and gone to New York and work for them
But I didn't really, you know, I'm kind of comfortable doing what I'm doing. That's what you
What do you think your life would have been like if you would have joined the mob?
You think it would have been better or well, I know is everybody goes to New York City
They got to put on fancy lady shoes
Walk around
seducing millionaires pretending to be their foreign wives
In order to hide their affairs and fancy parties and I that kind of sort unless it's my buddy Jimmy
Or any of the other trouble trio that we used to watch fuck each other back in the day
And there was nothing gay about that boys being boys. There's a little something gay
Okay, well you don't gotta go
So after the mobsters left Pee Wee's time in prison
He says passed uneventfully until he was released in 1961
Okay, and upon release he rented a trailer from his uncle Dewey Parrot and lived with his cousin Marvin Parrot
Oh man, oh it's so adorable if they weren't horrible murderers
Well, you know, it's just a lot of people going well
Get you a guy who can do both
Well, Pee Wee to appear respectable as he was out on parole
He got a job with a traveling preacher named Reverend George E. Todd
Okay, he drove the preacher around and you know, he used his carny skills to set up revivals and such
Well the entire time Pee Wee instead of just hanging around the preacher
He was either sneaking off to rob houses while everyone in these small towns were attendant
Or he was scouting out places to come back to later for a little burglin
These poor people getting robbed when they're at church from the preacher and then they get home
They've been robbed by Pee Wee. That's a double robbery was Pee Wee Gaskins. How old is he at this point?
He is about 28. I think maybe 20 a little less than that and he's walking around with a reverend
He's got robes on and shit. He obviously looks like an altar boy. He's dressed as an altar boy
He's a child like size. He's not dressed as an altar boy
If I was Pee Wee Gaskins I dressed a little robe. So in 1962 Pee Wee married his third wife Jerry Dolores
But he did not have quite the same passion for her as he had for the previous two about Jerry Pee Wee said
She was fine
That's a final truth
Mostly like at that time I was more career focused
And so when I got her around there just more like it was just nice to have a cover. Yeah, it's nice to keep losing my pussy cherry
Yeah, you were mostly just robbing houses, right? Yeah, I was a career man
So after about a year of petty theft Pee Wee committed another
Unforgivable crime that would send him right back to prison
One day while Pee Wee was visiting his mother
He stayed at home while she and his wife went shopping after they left Pee Wee decided almost on a lark
To go visit the 12-year-old girl next door who he knew was at home alone
Pee Wee raped her in her own bedroom and was caught and arrested the same day after stepfather
Rightly turned him in as fast as he could
But as Pee Wee was awaiting processing he jumped out of an open window 30 feet up and ran away
What is he just is he a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
At some point isn't someone like hey Sergeant, do you think we should shut the fucking windows?
You don't want to count this is a jail and people might not might not want to go to prison
And this is the man that is known for escaping from prison over and over and over
He said he was so since he was so little he was able to land on a bush and just be totally fine
What was it isn't there is an X-Men that's really small and he bounces around nightcrawler is he nightcrawler?
Don't defame
Crawler the day he was very religious person. He's also a carney and well German. All right
Of course he has to disappear sometimes. He's a German well Pee Wee then headed over the South Carolina border in a stolen
1962 Ford Galaxy
Coincidentally the same model of car that David Berkowitz drove who's also in who just actually went to the hospital for heart disease
He's actually he is sitting in the ICU right now, and we're about to lose another one
Man the in memoriam at the serial killer Oscars is gonna be very long
Very long very last year when we were losing all the celebrities people loved
Yeah, and I wasn't really that sad and then this year we're losing all the ones that I can't publicly mourn
Really like if Berkowitz does die it will be like
Must have needed a son
Well out over the South Carolina border Pee Wee hit out on the Lumbee Reservation and met his fourth wife
Leni oxen dine. I'm gonna say this again. Remember. I'm gonna say this again. Remember when you're five foot four
You have to be extra extra charming. He has been banging his way
Everywhere, I mean besides the smell like I guess it's like he did of course. He did horrible crimes
But it's weird how that horrible little man can turn on the charm just long enough to get a wife
Right four times. It's actually six times. It seems like you're kind of talking about yourself
There is well being five foot four and having to be charming. Do you have any idea the kind of mugs ebogs like?
Obstacles and people my size have to go through it. There's a there's a sizes campaign out there against all people
It's against all people. You're in Hollywood. You're in the land of the short man. Everyone is short. Hey, man
You don't fit in the frame. We're just gonna cut you out
Yeah, or we'll treat you like they did in in naked gun and not even show your face and just have bananas
Drop from your mouth theoretically assuming that you just eat raw bananas
Remember when we were filming the characters in your section of the characters
I remember having a I there was a missed that that just was literally for time
It's got nothing to do with you
But I remember talking with the DP about shooting you and he's like the problem is is that I just got to keep
Swooping up so I can get the rest of bed
I should be like just try to make the movement casual so kissle doesn't see it and you're just like walking to the side like
Oh, I'm ready to perform
You know like all excited me like be knowing that the man had to like do it a parabola
You got you in the frame. Well do some yoga before you film me and get your body in shape for crying out loud
Well that marriage lasted three whole months before Peewee gave his wife the old
I'm gonna go to the store and be right back routine
But he had his reasons quote
It weren't that I'd stop loving her
It was that the weightiness and bothersome this stirring around inside of me
It seemed to be coming more often the older I got and I didn't know how to deal with it
No other way except to just leave wherever I was and go someplace different. I got so edgy and mad at the world
I just had to get away
Hey, Peewee, have you heard of this bar? Cheers?
It's actually a place where everyone knows your name. I think you might like it. It's in Boston
I gotta say cheers. It's got some of the most beautiful women. I've ever seen in a bar
You got that beautiful girl all built just right. I believe her name is Norm
Up to the wait a second. I didn't smell the cologne
Oh
Well that excerpt was the first time in final truth that Peewee mentioned the quote-unquote
bothersomeness
That's how he described his urge to kill the thing that drove him to kill by his reckoning over
100 people Jesus
But the thing was if you look at Peewee's confirmed victims
He was by no means your typical serial killer
His victims ran the gamut of age race and sex unlike most serial killers who fall within the same three categories
For all of their victims, right? Well, he did a lot of things out of business and out of convenience and out of pure rage
He was just a full-time criminal. It seemed like he's very closer very similar again
He's tiny Carl Pansram where Carl Pansram obviously had a he had a built-in rage this bothersomeness
He had the same shit, but a part of it was also whatever had to be done had to be done at the time in according to them
Yeah, Charles Manson II he seems like well actually some people do call him the redneck Charles Manson
Yeah on this Wikipedia page, that's one
That's one of his nicknames, but like I thought about like the only thing that him and Charles Manson really share
Well, it was the the whole reform school thing what happened to him in reform school and the fact that they're both tiny
Yeah, and constantly in and out of jail and you do get the feeling like they can dance
Like if the right song hits the jukebox at the right time, they will dance
Charles Manson's the type of person who just makes a lot of room of the dance floor with that
Like he's that that kind of weird dancer with every once while there's a girl who's like
interesting
But Peewee Gaskins is one of those where he stomps on a board like
Wonderful whites of you know that that documentary about the board
The world of the world of the wonderful white something like that wild folks
crystal meth
Peewee actually he didn't drink at all. He was really he was kind of he was a bit of a tea totally well
Well, it didn't have a kerosene back. Well, he said that he'd have one or two beards ever once a while
But he loved hanging out in honky-tonks is what he would say sober sober
Arrested and you know he had a very big hat
Because that's a man my size you should if you remember the hat my taco shell hat. I bought it for a Texas Pete
Henderson Browski. Yeah, that's right. The thing is about Peewee is that it's very possible that he was more of a mass
Murderer than a serial killer like a guy like a murderer of convenience
However, he does have a fairly keen understanding of what it is that actually drives a serial killer
See when Peewee gave the interviews that led to final truth in 1989 in 1990
The behavioral science unit from the FBI and serial killers in general. We're not a part of the collective pop culture consciousness as they are today
Shows like us definitely did not exist
Like us yeah, like that like talk about talk about like serial killers and their motivations and what goes into the mind of a
Like you had to go looking for that shit. Yeah, you had to go looking hard
It was reserved for very special Donahue episodes basically
That's where because they did break some serial killer news
Yeah, they did break some serial killer news
But like the whole like the the study of the psychosis was pretty much
Academic and I really don't see Peewee gas since as being a voracious consumer of academic studies
Well, I definitely read a Calvin and Hobb strip one time
Couple of words in there. I didn't understand and that's a final truth
It is my ignorance that is my barrier and the ignorance that is my fault
You know Kelvin made up Hobbs
What? Yeah, that was all fake weird. Yeah, well, that's the weird thing about Peewee Gaskins
Even though he didn't read any of this shit. Here's what he said about his motivations and final truth
Getting the guts and balls to do kill someone just to pleasure yourself is the only
Difficult part once you've done the first and come to know that real special feeling
You can't hardly wait till another better idea comes and leads and pulls and pushes you into what takes you up
Into another place and even higher than you ever been before
That makes sense
I mean, it sounds like a great like pep talk on Silicon Valley, but it's unfortunate that your main focus is murder
Isn't it?
I could be a real chip gains because chip gains is all about positivity and saying fear is a loser
There's a loser's what he says
I'm gonna leave the final truth chip gates
Yes, you see is my inspirational figure, but false appearance appear in real there is fear
Love Gary Pucey
Well, what Peewee was talking about in that passage was the concept of escalation and that's what we know about serial killers
They escalate throughout their career, but the thing is about most of Peewee's known murders
There's very little escalation there and as we're gonna see later on there's no signature
There's no consistent M. Oh and more than half of his kills are more crimes of convenience than serial killer
And that's also very similar to a less obviously far less elaborate HH homes
Where it's about the constant seeking of the thrill where with Jeffrey Dahmer with the idea of the true perverted ones
The ones that are truly
Like caught in a realm of dark dark fantasy with Jeffrey Dahmer alone in his apartment
Ed Gein crafting these full fantastic worlds. He is looking for an outside thrill
He's looking for an outside gamble where HH homes was doing it with the murder hotel and all of the different insurance scams
He's doing it by bouncing back and forth
creating families and also committing crimes on the way and doing his car stripping job at the same time
You know HH homes really should have just called it the murder hotel
Just give the heads up and then if you if you do get a room there. It's kind of on you
Yeah, you know, it's it's the murder hotel. Well speaking of serial killings. Let's get into what Peewee called the coastal kills
So after Peewee was eventually
Reapprehended after his fourth wife turned to sorry ass and after finding out all the horrible shitty done nice. Yeah
Yeah, oh, yeah Lenny did was not taking that shit
So Peewee ended up back in the same state prison that he'd been in before not the federal prison with all the mobsters the state
Prison with the power men, but to Peewee's dismay. There was no longer any such thing as power men
At least they weren't called power men
What do you mean there's no power better, I remember back with how sad that is
It's like going to McDonald's and asking for a whopper. Yeah, it ain't right
Well, these men who used to be called power men
They were still this they were still there if they just weren't called power men anymore. Why did they change the pronoun?
What happened? I don't know. It's power person. What's going on? I don't know
Well, the designation of power man was supplanted by conveniently for Peewee
Nicknames. Oh
Yeah, if you had a nickname you had a reputation. There it is. See Hong Kong
I go in there as Hong Kong Henry Zeprowski. It would probably be a difficult transitional period for me
Yeah, I'm gonna hey there guys got myself a bit of a nickname. Aren't you afraid?
Well, if you had a nickname you had a reputation and since Peewee was Peewee
He says this stretch in prison was fairly uneventful because he was in fact a nickname with an in-prison reputation
Because this is the same present prison that he'd already killed Hazel Brazel in Hazel Brazel. That's right
No nickname needed. Yeah, and there were people in that state prison that remembered Peewee from last time
Of course. So his reputation was intact. It hadn't been that long since he was gone
No, in fact this stretch was so uneventful that the warden wrote a letter of recommendation to the parole board that Peewee
Be set free early. That's smart. We gotta all say we here at the jail really just want to thank Peewee for his
Contribution to the holiday season. He made a perfect elf on the shelf
Yep. Great. And so in 1968 at the age of 35
Peewee was back on the streets of South Carolina
Of course he is. And during the day he worked as a roofer, but at night
He stripped stolen cars as he'd done fairly consistently throughout his life since he'd been taught how to do it by the people who ran
The girly show at the carnival, right?
But he said the bothersomeness started growing stronger. He said quote
First that special heaviness commenced to roll around in my gut
Then up my spine into my head and down again. I hurt from my balls to behind my eyes
It was a truly terrible kind of pain and that felt like it wanted to tear me open so we could get out
Janice I gotta tell you I had this strangest conversation with our roofer this morning
Um, he really went in. We shouldn't hire him anymore
He does sound like
Quado
Open up your chest a little bit. Let me
Imagine how many times he wanted to talk. He's like undo your shirt. I want to come out now
Let me do it. Let me show it. Let me get him. I've been working it all fucking night
And so the coastal kills as P we called them began but before we get to the coastal kills
It must be said that not a single one of these coastal kills have even come close
To being confirmed and that's what we want. We don't want these to be real
We do not want these to be real at all
What we're about to talk about here is not fact
Despite how many writers around the internet and in print like to present as such these are definitely not fact
And I've noticed a lot of writers
Presenting the bullshit that pee we spouts in final truth as truth absolute truth, and it's not it's not confirmed
whatsoever are you uh, so you're implying that there's misinformation on the internet
The fact that pee we says the term the final truth. It's a stick. It's a great branding
Right does it's a great for a television show if you had a show on the Willy Wonka television screen like was it a movie I
Think that's the world. We're living in now actually
Yeah, all this shit. This is this is only what pee we
Says he did these stories should not be repeated as Bible truth
I don't even like you using the term Bible truth because we know that the Bible is not filled with truth either
It's got funny little sayings. Yes, it does
It's just an expression Henry. Thank you just for saying that for clarifying
Final truth see all pee we wanted as we said in the last episode was to go down in history as the meanest
Baddest sickest psychopath in American history and that's exactly why he allowed final truth to be written and exactly why he only
Allowed it to be published after he was dead if there was no chance for follow-up questions
Then there was no chance anyone was gonna catch him in a lie
Oh, and as far as the detail it goes into these stories
Yeah, you gotta remember this guy had eight years in prison to think this shit up
Oh, he's not the fastest thinker in the world. No, like he really took a long time and go home
Yeah, in the vagina
But think about how long it took George R. R. Martin to write these damn dragon fucking filth books
Yeah, yeah, I don't you know, I watched a little bit of that. You don't care for it. You're not a fantasy you hate fantasy
You know like Lord of the Rings though. I like Lord of the Rings
It's the ring that well you save us all or whatever the hell it is
I like the ends and I like and I like those the ones that everyone doesn't like you just like tall things
You're gonna be the strangest when you're a new father at 55 and you have whatever child comes out of like you're 55
Oh, yeah, it's got the uh, it's got the ring in it
Either way, I'm gonna need you to raise yourself
Basically, you know, but Samwise is a good character
He does do a lot. He does a lot of the heavy lifting of that not a lot of credit
Literally does all the heavy lifting because of the ending of the film
Frodo's quite light but a little dramatic there
But it is possible that Pee Wee could have committed at least a couple of these murders
But it's highly unlikely if not impossible for him to have committed as many as he did in the frame of time
He puts forth so Pee Wee said that when the bothersomeness started getting the better of him
He'd leave the house to prevent him from taking it out on whichever one of his families
He happened to be hanging around with at that time and he put time in with his families. Yeah, he did strange thing about this guy
It's really weird
Now Pee Wee started by just driving by himself up and down the Carolina coast on US Highway 17 from Wilmington, North Carolina
To Charleston, South Carolina
But then he started picking up hitchhikers, which as we know were plentiful in 1968
What's what is it with with Charlottes? Is it Charlottesville Charleston? Charleston Charleston?
Yeah, seems like a lot of bad things happen
Yeah, I don't know man now at first Pee Wee just started given the hitchhikers rides
Just like Ed Kemper did giving himself those little allowances one at a time
Yeah, then he started offering money for sex and if the girls said no
He'd drop them off wherever they were no matter what and drive off when enough women started saying no
Pee Wee started getting pissed and that's when he says the violent fantasies began as they always do with sexual serial killers
He said he would masturbate while he thought about hanging all the girls who said no
Upside down by their feet and whipping them just like what had been done to him when he was a kid
Although Pee Wee doesn't make that connection himself. Yeah, that's so weird
He doesn't even think that you wrote that imagery from your past into what may be your fake
Sex fantasy life, but really what stopped Pee Wee every time from doing that
Was the threat of prison if the women went to the police afterwards, but one day a realization hit him
What he actually called his quote-unquote miracle
Okay, Pee Wee said he took off to Myrtle Beach one Sunday in 1969 quote
When the pain was like plumbum and my bowels and the weight was so heavy. I couldn't hardly breathe
Well nurse it looks like he's got pain like a plumbum
There's no denying that we better give him some ox. Do I have Christmas cancer?
You might have it
What is plumbum? It's lead. Oh
It's lead. That's why the elements, you know, the what do you call like the element letters for lead is Pee Wee
Oh plumbum. Yeah, because he used to be called plumbum
The dumbest name of all time
Access to I think somehow an access to an atomic chart atomic
And then they to they figured out it was iron, but still called it by the dumbest name
Plumbum
Not iron lead
Pee Wee said on that day
He picked up a girl gave her the same proposition of money for sex and once again the answer came back as no
So Pee Wee said fine, but I got to turn down this dirt road first to drop you off
Pee Wee said he pulled over stared at her and had his moment of realization. He said quote
What I had to do was kill her
I remember smiling to myself and wondered why I never thought of that before
So when she reached down to get her duffel bag Pee Wee said he punched her in the side of the head three times
And when she was out he took off his belt and tied her hands behind her back
And here is where we have our first gold star for this series
Just so you know this is gonna get pretty fucked up from here on out and again
We have no idea if any of this is true, but nonetheless this is still this is a peek into the mind of a
Serial killer into the mind of a killer's fantasy life
This is what he wanted you to know about his secret crimes
And this is a part of whether or not it's true
He definitely wanted to give the juiciest story of all time
So a part of it's like we're gonna look at his concept of himself
I think the idea of what he thought he was capable of because that's really what it comes down to is that even if it's
Not real like what we've talked about many times if one percent is true then he did many fucked up things
So part of it is it so this is a this is just a part of where he thought he could go. Yeah, all right
Well, I'm gonna say it's not real. That's what I'm gonna tell myself in my brain
Very good distancing. Yeah, very good. That's what I've been having to do to get myself to sleep at night over the last week and a half
And he said he got her outside the truck and on the ground and when she woke up
He said he sliced one of her nipples off put it between his front teeth and smiled at her
And when she screamed he said he shoved it in her mouth and made her eat it
He said he then put her back in the truck and drove down to a marsh
brought her back out
been her over and shoved an 11 inch blade into her vagina and
Sliced up. Oh, but still she survived
He said he then chained her to a pine limb with a heavy logging chain
Dropped her into the water with the pulley and watched as the bubbles no longer rose to the surface
And that's really the only place where
It does sound true because we're gonna find out that's how they would lift the engines out of the cars
They were stripping. There is something in that motion with the with the pillion the pulley in the chain
That he had done again and again that I don't know whether or not he then made up and like extrapolated
Oh, I could use this as a murder weapon, but he did
Investigated the area or the they did they didn't find jack shit anywhere ever
He said he then drove away stopped at a truck stop cafe had the biggest stake on the menu and drove all the way home that very night
Playing the radio as loud as he could and singing along the whole time
Well, I think it was actually a big steak, or is he this so small?
Steak you ever have and they're like, all right, then he's bring them a sausage patty and it's like
It also makes me really sad because this is my favorite way to celebrate something
Oh my god eating yes a big steak and singing along to the radio. Yeah, yeah
But I mean like and I also want to apologize to Eddie money for possibly even bringing them into this scenario
Because Eddie money is is if he was accidentally listening to any money. He is not culpable
He's not a part of this and I don't want any of these accusations to get to him two tickets to paradise. Oh my god
You're going with someone that I only have one ticket
You're selfish. I didn't know that you could get more than one. Well all this
This is what Pee Wee says now
Let's start with one of the big problems here in this story if he did what he said he did
He would have been covered head to toe with blood and yet
He was able to go straight from the kill to a diner
I mean did he make some excuse say he was just killing a deer don't mind the blood
Oh
Yeah, you absolutely you can yeah, I mean you got to show them the deer. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's key
Yeah, so they all go like oh, yeah, that's a big one right there
Oh, yeah, I caught one that look just like it last week and you have a bunch of people just bitchin
Yeah, you're hunting seasons a pretty gruesome time on the the old streets of Wisconsin. Oh, oh, it's very gruesome and oh
It's gruesome in Texas as well. Yeah
My dad was telling me a story last night about field stripping a buck and that was a lot of blood in that story field
Stripping a buck is also going to be the name of my first gay pornography
It'll be a good time when your career totally
Because of this podcast and you're forced into do husky meat work
I mean the only other explanation is that pee we managed to wash himself up in a fetid filthy
South Carolina swamp and he also just happened to have a change of clothes in his truck
But he probably could have just laid down and then a bunch of dogs could have just thought he was a jack Russell terrier
Simply because of his size and they all could have licked him clean
Like it like it Batman returns
Oh, she falls out of the cats. Yeah, I have become terrier
Serious neither those scenarios seems likely
Let's also look at the wider scope of the so-called coastal kills I did I have to say I accidentally
I got HBO on demand and I didn't accidentally watch the shaggy dog with Tim Allen for far too long
Are you bragging? Are you bragging?
I did not want to watch it subscription. No, I'm not bragging. I just say I'm saying and I did watch it for too long
Okay, I watch it for 25 minutes
Well, let's look at the scope of these kills here
He claims that he picked up almost all of his victims remember
It's a hundred plus victims right that he claims
He said that he picked up all the victims on the Carolina coast off highway 17
He said he would then dump the bodies at various places in the swampy areas further inland near towns like PD
Finkley dog bluff and ketchup town
I knew all coincidentally on the travel channel
coincidentally on the travel channel this week. They were all named top four
Cities to find bodies of dead girls
Also second PD and dog bluff were both second most likely to accidentally step in dog shit on the way to the post office
You just missed the dog. That's all that means
Well, baby says as far as his victims went he said he did everything from burning them with acid to running cables through their bodies and hanging
Them trees fill in their orifices with molten plumbum. Where's he getting up the way the means
Exactly
He said he'd use like little fires and he would yeah, but because lead does melt, you know, fairly easily
I think you know, I got my little Bunsen burner back
Yeah, he even like I mean it's all these like really bizarre things like he said that he
Pumped one woman full of water until it came out of her nose in her mouth
But then it and but then he said she died too quick. So he didn't do that ever again
But you know, I mean these guys do weird fucked up shit like that. I'll tell like you remember
Jennifer Bianchi
remember he
Used the syringe to fill the woman full of drain-o and shit like or not drain-o
That is truly someone that is that is a process killer, right?
That is someone that really enjoys the act of murdering
Well, all the other crimes that get pinned on Peewee Gaskins are quick murders that it used to cover up other crimes
And so it's interesting for that aren't there aren't but they're like yeah, yeah, they're more they're twisted still
They're still obviously very fucked up
But he the idea of something like this is it's strange because doesn't fit with everything else
We know about him we know him as a hardened criminal
But we don't know him as this as somebody who's so
Into the fantasy part of the murder besides now just sitting in jail and writing about it
Yeah, I didn't like the the villain from seven. Yeah, very much so now
Let's also look and take a look at the numbers now all of these victims were all supposedly picked up from the same
173 mile stretch of road and he starts in mid
1969 and he goes till
1975 and he said he'd killed three by Christmas in 1969 already then in final truth
He alternates throughout between saying he killed on average every six weeks
or
Around the tenth of each month for some reason yeah
He said for some reason it was always around the tenth of each month that he started getting the bothersomeness
And that's when he would go out. They your rent check has just been
I mean like you're sitting there like it's kind of fun. It's like a it's an in-between moment
You're gonna get paid again in the 15th. So right not a lot to do I guess
I guess that means that in the space of about five years if he kept to a schedule at least 63 people would have gone missing on a
Single 173 mile stretch of highway many of whom would have been noticeably missing and you think you would especially if it's just that one
Highway because I would think so just that one. I mean it's a long hot
It goes past Charleston and past Wilmington, but like just between those two cities now compare that to Canada's infamous highway at tears
You know over the last 40 years 40 women have gone missing or have been found murdered on a single stretch of highway in
Western Canada more than twice the length of peewees apparently they're also gonna change the 405 here in LA to the highway of tears
But that's mostly because that's where the most auditions take place
It was started by I think it's the most incredible irony in the world that it was a fire
Accidentally started by homeless people and then it burnt Robert Murdoch's house down
Yeah, about the highway at tears multiple books have been written about this stretch documentaries have been made
So if 63 people went missing on one stretch of road in a popular coastal American area
You'd be damn sure someone would have noticed especially since they were all white people would have noticed in
1963 sure or in 1968, but they didn't so it's not gonna fucking it's it's not true
So who knows but again if one person is true if one person is true
It's possible that peewee here and there one percent would just be he gave a woman a glass of water
Which is actually quite nice. That's actually not true
It's like if he had done a couple of these of the couple of these murders
If he'd done a couple and I can see any murders in this situation in this coastal kill situation
It's possible that maybe he did like three or four
But I can guarantee the shit about him picking up hitchhikers and asking them for sex for money
And him getting filled with rage when they say no happened several times
I imagine what he was driving around super super horny and mean just driving around feeling that bothersomeness
Which I do believe he did have it wasn't necessarily for just murder
It was just to act out that he picked somebody up and I guarantee but I don't think it was like a torture session
I think it was like he flipped out and would either shoot him or or stab him or choke him and then just leave him
Yeah, horny and mean and
a
Never sung by whale and jennon
No, I mean it was privately or spoken about
I said I'm ornery not horny. Put your clothes back on
But you know most of this stuff
Especially the story where he says he murdered what sounds a hell of a lot like the Scooby-Doo gang
Sounds a lot like fantasy. He did murder. He murdered Shaggy. I know it leaves a dog alone
But I hope it oh, yeah, that's the only thing getting me through that but that's not to say pewee Gaskins wasn't a horrific piece of shit
Murderer, he was for a 1970 pewee would commit the first of what he called his
serious murders
Yeah, and I wonder if they were on channel 34 illithium
Serious serious is thriving, you know because they don't let anybody have any idea what their analytics are
That's how you know. Yeah, that's how you know they're doing great
Well, be we's designation here was that coastal kills were people he didn't know
While serious murders were people he either knew well or were at the very least
Acquaintances, okay, the only one pewee says fell somewhere in between
Was the girl whom he said he cut pieces off while she was still alive and ate him before force feeding her a chunk of
Her own calf. He seems to be very much into this force feeding people their own body part. He's into it. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, he thinks something about the ultimate domination you can see in his head about how that that's a way to
Show how much you master somebody. Yeah, I guess so now while the serious murders were never as brutal as that
Fantasy except for one, which is also probably at least half fantasy. That's not to say they aren't horrific
They began in 1970 when pewee was 37 with Patricia and Allsbrook and Janice Kirby his own niece
This one is real
According to pewee he ran into Janice and Patricia one night at the local burger joint where he found Janice had drunk drank a
Few too many beers and it passed down the girls. They were with asked if pewee could take care of her and he obliged
So pewee bundled her into his car
But Janice's friend pewee figured she'd better go along to make sure Janice was okay
Probably because pewee was a well-known local shit bird
Yeah, he's just friends name Patricia Patricia and it's just he's a fucking disgusting person and they all know this and he's going there
I don't think it was an accident
I don't think you'd expect someone to be as bad though
And even if the worst person you know you don't expect to be to end someone's life like that
Well, that's what these guys hope for and a part of it
So he goes to this burger joint surrounded by teenage girls and he is obvious to me in my head
He's skulking around like he's he's looking for he's looking for some action and then happens to bump into his fucking niece
Yeah, so after pewee got the girls some coffee Janice puked all over herself in the car
So pewee offered to take him back to his place to clean her up
And that's when pewee said he made the decision to rape them instead of taking him back to his house
He took him out to an old rundown tenant house that he knew of out in the country
He lulled the girls into a false sense of security then pulled a knife on Janice putting it up to her throat
But the attempt failed when Patricia slammed pewee in the back of the head with a two-by-four
All right, and the two ran out in the woods. However pewee soon caught up fired a shot in the air and led him back to the house
But the girls weren't done after another struggle pewee knocked out both girls to this pistol
Rendering them both unconscious and half dead and that's when he said he decided he had to kill them both now
We're gonna see yes. This is that you're gonna say here. It's true. This is what shows normal serial killer thinking
Yeah, this actually falls more in line with what we know about serial killers the vast vast majority
Don't start with the Mondo horror movie scene about the Hitchhacker the pewee conjured up earlier
Most times the first murder is an accident committed in the commission of another crime
And once it happens the killer realizes it gives him a feeling that supplants all others
He's had before and the serial killing begins
So after knocking out the girls pewee left Janice at the house and locked Patricia in the trunk of his car
He then went to a vacant house
He knew of that had a septic tank and somehow managed to get the cement lid off the top
This is what he said he did next I
Planned to crack her skull open to make sure she was dead
But I decided that would make too big a mess
So I just lowered her into the sludge and waited until there wasn't any more bubbles
They're not push the cement lid back in place and the reason why we know this one is true
Is because six years later pewee led police to this exact spot and there was the body of Patricia and Allsbrook
Absolutely brutal, but so you're gonna see he uses that he knew that that
Technique worked once and so he can use it in his fake crimes as well
You can just use it as a is a as a detail that works. Yeah
Oh, I can only hope his defense attorney was Tim Allen turning into a dog
That's the only way you can trust him or you know, it's would have also been really good Jim Carrey and that liar liar
That's right
So when pewee got back to the house his niece Janice had died from her injuries
And so possibly in some sort of fucked up reverence because she was family
He took her out back buried her and covered the ground with pine needles and her body was never found
Oh, they never found that never told police where that tenant house was. Oh my goodness. All right
Now you would now you would think that because of pewee's record along with the fact that he was the last one seen with the girls
The police were pressing pretty goddamn hard for their disappearance. I would think so I would hope so but when cops question him
Peewee said Janice had asked him about Kenfolk living in California and the two girls were planning on running away
And Peewee said he then let him out and they got in a car with boys. He believed were from Orangeburg
Mmm, and that was the last he'd seen him not from Ketchup town
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right next to Lemonville, which is even worse
I mean we talked about with the Dean Corral murders
They just believe kids ran away. Oh, so this is a shitty
Fucking part of the country in a shitty time to be in it
So you could see why people be like I'm getting out. I guess so yeah, no these kids were they were lower class
Nobody gave a shit, you know, so Peewee got away with it. Same. I mean, yeah, it's exactly like Dean Corral
Because you know how many kids went missing in that lower class used to neighborhood before the cops gave a fuck right and
Peewee Gaskins
He killed at least ten others over the next five years
We know he killed ten at least ten other people in the next five years
We're at 12 total kills for Peewee. Is that about uh, it's confirmed 12. Okay, probably
Most likely 15 all right probably 18. Oh my goodness. Yeah, yeah
Now one of the reasons why Peewee got away with it was that right after
These two girls went missing another high-profile case dropped in the laps of local law enforcement
13 year old Peggy Cuttnow a
Cuttnow's father was a state senator and of course when she went missing all resources went to her and even more were
Dedicated when Peggy was found murdered two days later a guy named junior Pierce went down for the crime
But Peewee claimed he was the one who was actually responsible. How many people in South Carolina are named junior
Well, Peewee was originally named junior he was
Juniors pretty common down there. I guess I don't know. I've never been to South Carolina
Are you never been at least went through it and that's where I met a guy named
Mifers
Mifers
Eddie McDonald's
Eddie McDonald's I went to I
Was in South Carolina. We were driving from New York to Florida. We thought we would be fun
We rented a Dodge Charger. We were in South Carolina. We were exhausted and hungry. You would drive in 20 hours
We stopped to go into McDonald's. I was gonna go to I went into the bathroom and
I'll get out just standing at the urinal man comes stands next to me
He like he gives me like a nod like it looks over. He fully takes his pants off
Full underwear with his ass hanging out of the back and he pisses all over the inside of the urinal
I go back into the McDonald's family. Jesus Christ like it comes out realize. He's working for the McDonald's
He was in McDonald's uniform and his name tag, and I am not joking
Mifers
I asked for milk with my coffee, and I wanted to cut like a little thing of milk and he was on
Just milk and I'll give the man milk, and they're like, yes, Mifers. Just give him the damn milk
You charge him for the milk
Huh
Well something a nice place beautiful state
Well, yeah, this guy junior Pierce he went down for the crime Peewee claimed he was responsible final truth on that
Is it Peggy just like the girl Peewee hit with a hammer in his 20s had sassed him
Oh, well Peewee said he didn't do anything about it immediately
He was still stewing over it days later as he was having a meal at his favorite seafood restaurant the crab tooth
Okay, this is what I'm gonna say this right now. This is my only two rules
These are my two rules for restaurants. Okay, never eat in an empty restaurant and
Never eat at a place where the title of the name of the restaurant has parts of the animal attributed to the animal
They do not exist
It's not you just can't have it can't be called like the chicken's tongue
I guess you call the chickens definitely have tongues that chicken chicken hands
Yeah, wombat brains
Smarter brains smaller brains on the wombat monkey constitution. You can't eat a place called the monkey Constitution
I like the monkey Constitution. I like an empty restaurant though. It's not an indication that the food is bad restaurants
The restaurants that are packed are the good restaurants never eat at an empty restaurant. You will get sick
I like empty restaurants. Well Peewee said as he was stewing at the crab tears
There's gonna be one of those back and forth, so it's just gonna go on for a while. I'm just gonna end it. All right
All the service
Just nobody there if there's nobody there
It's also important if you're eating at a restaurant of another culture's food
You should be one of the only white people in it
Mm-hmm, so
As he was sitting at the crab tooth Peewee said he decided to do something about this girl sassin him
First he set up an alibi for himself by written a tourist cabin in Charleston
And he made sure everyone in his regular bar in Charleston saw him there. He said he then drove
Well, you know, I'm here
Peewee is at the bar
Yeah, I'm sitting on my favorite stool. I'm sniffing my favorite flower which I leave here every time
He's running back and forth like the butler from clue. I
Think we saw Peewee Peewee was definitely here Peewee was here. I know Peewee
He said he then drove back to Sumter where both he and Peggy were living at the time
He said he found Peggy
Kidnapped her tortured her then left her body in the middle of the road to be found
He said the reason why he left her instead of sinking her in the swamp as he had almost all the other bodies
Was to prevent cops from accidentally stumbling upon other bodies that Peewee had killed in their search
This one isn't as far-fetched as some of the others
Peewee was working on a house on the same street that Peggy lived on and that house was on the way
Back and forth to where Peggy walked to go to school
Hmm. However, we also know that Peewee was questioned and investigated for the Peggy cut no murder
But despite Peewee already being a very recent suspect and the disappearances of two other girls around the same age
This is what one officer said about him
Peewee is a small-time punk who talks and acts tough to get women to notice him, but that's all he is just talk
So, uh, you're just a horrible police officer. Is that it? No, I'm a lazy police officer. Oh, I see
Big difference and we're gonna find out even more about how dead wrong that cop was on part three of Peewee Gaskins
Oh my goodness. All right. Well, that's this this is a
Interesting disgusting tale here Peewee Gaskins. There's a lot of ins and outs to this one. What if it's a buffet?
It is like a buffet. It's a buffet a serial killer talk. Well, there is that but I'm thinking if you're alone at a buffet
The food can't be that bad. No, because then the food's not getting turned around fast enough. You're turning around. No, you're not
It's just sitting in a thing congealing
It's like when a restaurant the problem is you've got all these backup orders that they made and then they're just sitting there under
Warming lamps and you come in it's like you're not getting fresh food with a lot of people
There's a lot of dishes going out and a part of it's like the moneys would encourage is everyone to work harder
Like it's just not good. You have to that's where the capital is the system supposed to work that the customers drive quality
This is a tough episode for me to handle
Interesting theory interesting theory indeed. Well, I also I want to thank
