Starting point is 00:00:00 There's no place to escape to. This is the last time on the left side stories. That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes. So I'm watching the air in Hernandez docu series. What did you think? I thought it was very interesting. Very, very interesting. And a lot of people have the question of being like, how does somebody commit random ass street murder and then go and win, be an essential part of a Super Bowl winning team? He was huge. Caught a touchdown in the Super Bowl. He was a key component to that Patriot squad. The reason why is because he's a winner. You know how they keep his eyes on the prize. All these people are so distracted all the time, right? Everybody says they're
Starting point is 00:00:52 distracted and they're stressed out. How do you think, how stressed out do you think he was? Sure. He just randomly gunned down two people in the street and now he's got to deliver. He was a fourth round draft pick. Yep. He wasn't even like, they didn't even have eyes on him. He had to make a place in the Patriots, one of the most competitive organizations in the NFL. I feel bad for him. They say his draft stock dropped a little bit for personality reasons. Why though? I don't understand why. Yeah. Well, you know, you make a good point. It's not easy to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl and it's even harder to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl when you're carrying the ghosts of the people you shot. So we do have to think about that. You have to run. These ghosts
Starting point is 00:01:34 are following you everywhere you catch your pass. They go, why did you kill me? And you have to go right back to work. You have to go right. You're just, and you're smiling stuff and saying, big game and not big game. Not gay. Big game tonight. Like that's a lot of shit. What was that? What was that? What was that middle part? Not gay. Not gay. What's weird? You would say that. I didn't ask if you were gay. I don't even care if you're gay. Look at my tattoo I got. It says not gay, right? At the top of my fucking big, big cock. Oh, my. Decide stories, everyone. I am Ben hanging out with Henry. If you have not seen the air in Hernandez doc, check it out. Really interesting. Obviously a man who made some bad decisions, perhaps overcompensating. He really did make some
Starting point is 00:02:17 bad decisions. And I just want to say unequivocally, now at the top that I was, I was having a bit of a laugh there. You were having, you were making a lark. We try to bring light to the darkness. Of course, the two people that he randomly shot are not so randomly, I guess, one person. They spilled the drink. Hey, man, that's a nice shirt he had on. I saw that club footage. It wasn't the nicest shirt. They spilled a drink on him. No, that was a big time shirt. I mean, it was on him, so therefore it became nice. It was Boston. Nice. So no, I like Boston. We actually got to sell tickets at Boston. So we love Boston show up and let us and we will throw food at us. Literally from Kissel's own horrible statements about Boston. Please buy tickets to our Boston show and bring
Starting point is 00:03:01 food to throw at the goon. Oh my goodness. You got to stop with this goon talk. That is ridiculous conversation. What are you then? I'm a man, a strong, healthy man. We will be in Boston. Can't wait to see everybody out there. Absolutely. Buy those tickets. Get those tickets. Erin Hernandez, check out the documentary. I wonder what life would have been like if he did not go to the New England Patriots. Probably should have gotten out of Boston, hung out with some bad people, so it's a good reminder. Hang out with people that motivate you, inspire you, and make you better, not make you worse. That's very, very good advice, and it's also slyly blaming Boston for his random ass crime. He had some bad friends in Boston. That though bad people exist in Boston.
Starting point is 00:03:46 He had bad friends in Connecticut, and he brought them to Boston. They went to go live it up in Boston. They were slummin' it in Connecticut. I know. He got two of his slanty-eyed helpers. I'm going to call them helpers. Well, I think the guys I got messed up because Erin Hernandez put a bullet through his brain, or through his skull, somehow missed the brain. The guy does not seem that intelligent, so perhaps that kept him alive because his brain is tiny. I don't know what it was, but you have to be a horse to get shot point blank in the fucking head and live. I would be so upshot in the head, and he lived. He lived, and then he didn't. I don't want to give any spoilers. It's been out for a little while. Obviously. That is weird.
Starting point is 00:04:26 We're referring to Erin Hernandez, his very close friend. I want to say he seems Bradley. He was, like, essentially his fixer. He used to get in his weed and also started getting him guns. So these are the type of people Erin Hernandez was slowly accumulating around himself, becoming a fake gangster a little bit. I think that he believed that he wanted to be more hardcore than he was. All of this was to create a smokescreen for the fact that he felt vulnerable about who he really was, that he might have been at least bisexual, and could not hide it any longer. And of course, the hyper-masculine world of the NFL, specifically during that time, I do think things have gotten a little bit more open, did not give him room to express his sexuality
Starting point is 00:05:10 in a way that maybe would have been helpful. Also, another great reminder why weed legalization, and we're going to bring this up a little bit later in the episode, is so needed because I don't think Hernandez would have even hung out with this guy because he got him his weed. If he could have just gone to a dispensary, Hernandez would have just been one of our friends because I would have been like, hey man, you're a great football player, let's hang out. Next thing you know, he's at our comedy shows, he's in the front row, doing sketch comedy. Once he's doing sketch comedy, he finds the magic of theater, he comes out, he quits football, now he's on Broadway. Honestly, there's a lot of stuff in there that he really could have, he really could have, he chose the
Starting point is 00:05:49 wrong path being a millionaire on the Patriots. And the saddest part of all, he tried to give his life for his family. I actually truly do believe this was a, I don't want to say heroic, but it was a selfless act, it was selfless. Technically it was a selfless act and he tried, but it's all complicated. He also said that he believed, there was some insinuation that he was molested and he said that that hijacked his sexuality a little bit. There was a moment in the documentary series when he turns to one of his defense team who was also gay, very large man gay, and he said, it's like, do you think that being gay is a choice? Are you born with it? And that guy looked at him and said, I think you're born with it. And that guy was like,
Starting point is 00:06:36 Aaron Hernandez, like, let it slowly absorb during that time period, which is nice that he actually had even a presence of mind at the second. I think the CTE shit is a little bit of a, they are, they are blaming the CTE shit. Oh, I don't know, I don't think they're blaming it, I think they're trying to explain the actions. I think there are plenty people. I think there's plenty of football players and basketball players and, and, and boxers, especially people in those, those, those worlds, especially high contact sports that have CTE that don't murder a bunch of people, that don't kill their family is like your favorite wrestler, Chris Benoit did. A lot of times my favorite wrestler, but you have to, you have to also be an asshole. I think there's a component
Starting point is 00:07:19 to that as well. Much like sometimes the war will change you. So will CTE. I do think that played a component in it. That was a component, although basketball players, their brains are fine because they dribble with their hands and run with their feet. They don't headbutt each other like Chris Benoit off the top rope. Technically, I'm starting to believe that basketball is one of the more elegant sports. Oh, basketball is my favorite. We went to see our, our that, oh, that game of champions and watching those boys run back and forth and do what they do past the ball in such an artistic and almost ballet like style, a system of fluid movements, big jiggly muscles bumping up and down guys with the big long arms, tossing that rock around like it's a
Starting point is 00:08:02 little me with a little hat on just like me sailing through the air going through the little baskets being put in a line of other little men like me on all those trays and stuff. I've got to be fun. I love getting you into sports. It's really nice taking your theater, sci-fi, LRH loving mind and putting it into something that it's athletic is really exciting. But it helps me connect to other men. It really does. Aaron Hernandez did attempt to take his own life in an attempt to get his family the money. I believe it's called the abatement law in Boston or in Massachusetts, but that did not work out so well. They cut that law out too. They were just like Aaron Hernandez. I'm sorry we did sort of like a just the spoilers version of a talk about the
Starting point is 00:08:45 Aaron Hernandez documentary series, but she take a look at it. Those spoilers are out there anyway. Yes, exactly. Just the facts of the case. The story is so well known. It's we can't really spoil a tale that's already well known. Speaking of basketball, all right, Pete, Kobe, Brian, the goat. If you are out there and you love a professional athlete or a star, someone that you're just a fan of, shoot them a little love because you never know when they're going to be gone. And also we have a new rule here at LPN, no helicopters. And this goes out to you to listeners as well. This is a this is a company and fan wide statement. And this goes straight to Travis, because Travis just took a damn helicopter. Travis stopped drinking and then he's like,
Starting point is 00:09:24 so I don't drink anymore. I don't do drugs, but I'm going to go wrestle an alligator on Saturday. And it's like, no, just have a course. I know. I don't want him to pressure him to drink booze either. Because so I'm just saying no more helicopters, no more helicopters. If it doesn't have wheels or have wings that are solid that don't spin, you can't get on it. And that is a mandate for all the five million listeners of Last Podcast Network, no helicopters. And I don't even care if you own it. If it's private, you sell it to Gallagher so Gallagher can start his Uber helicopter business. And whoever takes an Gallagher Uber helicopter is dumb enough to die. Someone needs to save Bilber. Bilber is a helicopter pilot. No, that's really a big hobby.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Yes. Someone needs to save him. Bill, I can't lose him like this. I can't do it. I can't lose another hero. I can't. I can't do it. Okay. All right. There is some conspiracy theories though around Kobe's very sudden passing. Do you want to read this conspiracy theory that you came in? We started our conversation today going over news stories and Henry's like, got a conspiracy about Kobe. And I was like, how the hell so how does that work? It happened so fast. I'm just going to read through this real quick so you can understand what we're dealing with here. All right. So this came from this came from a listener via an IG post that this this man has been hitting hitting this. This he's been hitting this very,
Starting point is 00:10:51 very hard. Okay. They may have silenced me on YouTube until the 29th, but they will never silence the message. After LeBron James passes Kobe on the all time NBA scoring list, Kobe's personal helicopter crashes only a day later. LeBron had to pass the 33,644 point mark to pass Kobe Bryant and become the NBA's third highest scorer in history. The 33 is significant. The six is significant. And I've been speaking on the importance of the 44 ritual and pro sports for months now for me to me. This looks like a ritual sacrifice in order for the LA Lakers to win their 17th championship and for LeBron to get his fourth ring. I believe this was also a ritual sacrifice for the 49ers to win the Super Bowl. Okay. Cause. Okay. Here's the math. Okay. The 49 is
Starting point is 00:11:41 the 13. Kobe was born in a 23. When you add those numbers, you get 13. Kobe was also the 13th overall pick in the NBA draft. LeBron James passed Kobe on the all time scoring list when he was playing who? Kissel? Who? The Philadelphia 76ers. Seven plus six equals 13. And Kobe Bryant was born in Philadelphia. I also find it very strange that there were Kobe Bryant helicopter toys being sold in stores. This definitely makes me believe that his untimely death has been planned for a while now really unfortunate circumstances. But when you want fame and tens of millions of dollars in this society, this is the risk you're taking at any moment notice. Oh, you can be sacrificed. All right. So if you're a gambling person out there and you want to bet on the Super Bowl and
Starting point is 00:12:25 you want to bet on the NBA finals, take it from this man who, yes, he's been banned from YouTube until the 29th of January. But you know what? He's not banned from Instagram. So he's got to be telling some sort of truth. I will say though, the what is interesting, it only takes him about 15 hashtags to get to the term Zionist warlock. So we know where we know where he's at. Why does it always get Zionist? At least it wasn't the top one. He got it in there, but it was he had to think about it for a while. Don't I don't do not understand how Zionists come into any of this ever. But somehow they sneak their way in. So if you are a betting man, bet on the 49ers in the Super Bowl this next Sunday and bet on the Lakers to win the NBA championship. And if that does
Starting point is 00:13:14 happen, I actually don't want to see the ego of this man because if you are at the NBA championship game with this man, he is going to be screaming about how he's right. Don't do this. You just created the incel version of uncut gems. All right. Well, lastly, an update on a story that we followed very closely. Oh, it's exotic. It's Joe exotic. Man. Oh, our man, our man, the Joe exotic. Mr. Joseph Maldonado passage has been sentenced to 22 years. The book was thrown 22 years for the attempted assassination. He did a lot of bad things. He did a lot of bad things and they definitely he leaned in which forced their hand. The jury convicted him of two counts of murder for hire eight counts of violating the Lacey act for falsifying wildlife records and nine counts of
Starting point is 00:14:14 violating the endangered species act. You know, yes, I agree with the jury's decision. He was guilty. I think we all know that he wasn't singing those songs, which I think is really a crime against music. Another fake world that it just shows and you can't trust anybody makes us very sad. It does 22 years. My question is, does he deserve to be behind bars for damn near a quarter of a century? Why not just be like, hey, Joe, you got 10 years prison is not going to be good to him because honestly, it might be he might be a big old character in there. Sometimes they love their characters. He is a tough guy. He's tough guy. He deals with tigers. He did attempt to kill Carol Baskin.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Well, I need to make her feel for her life that you should listen to that podcast. Yes, Joe got a podcast was actually very, very good kind of outlining everything that went on. The two of them egged each other on. They deserved each other. But in the end, Joe Exotic being Joe Exotic, I think that's Joseph Maldonado passage, not get 22 years of prison. Joe Exotic got 22 years of prison. So you think the jury looked at the mullet. They looked at his weird BDIs. They saw the sweaty palms. They realized he wasn't really singing those love songs and they indicted the character, not the man. That is my belief. And I believe if he did sing those songs, you could have sang his way out of prison at least once, you could have tried. I agree. At least
Starting point is 00:15:46 sing one beautiful song. Be like, this is why I think I'm innocent. Would a man ever put a gun in his hand? Like, do you just do a super inspirational song? Everybody's crying. Carol Baskin forgives you. She becomes gay for you. I don't even know how that works. Well, I think she would have to become straight for him. She's a woman. He's a gay man. She might have to transition and then whatever it is, it would be hard. Yeah, I'm just saying she would do whatever it took to get closer to him. She'd forgive him and they'd they just go raise pelicans together. You know, everyone talks about the jury. They say 12 angry men. Oh, the jury. It just takes one sad sympathetic juror to throw the whole thing off in a murder trial like this or in a trial. You just need one.
Starting point is 00:16:34 You just got it because or maybe you need six. I don't know. I believe in a death penalty case. You need just one. What does that mean? You got to have a bunch of people in a murder. It's death penalty. If it's the death penalty, I think so. But I don't know exactly. You don't know anything. You're just saying you know any of these facts. I know some facts. But all I'm saying is, is do you feel safer now knowing that Joe Exotic is going to be behind the same bars that he held his lions in? There is a justice in that. I understand. I just feel like it's a little bit long of a sentence for a man who just is to find himself. He needs to see he's going to see 10 years if he just plays his cards right and he becomes a chef in prison or he finds a good little
Starting point is 00:17:21 place for himself and he keeps himself and he talks about more animal like awareness stuff, more endangered species, awareness stuff like if he couldn't fix it and get everything going, he can get out probably within 10 to 15 years. Yeah, I suppose. And then by then maybe he will have gotten a lot of reading done. He can work out. He's got a lot of stuff, you know, prison in many ways couldn't end up being constructive for him. Yeah, I suppose so. Some people love it. Some people it really fits their entire lifestyles because then the pressure is gone of having to put together 24 seven. Well, that almost seemed like what Aaron Hernandez was saying regarding prison. He said he treated it like training camp and the guards were like he kind of was chill with
Starting point is 00:18:05 the whole thing, which is no, he was 23 year old psychopath was that he had no clue. He the way the way you can jump from a 7500 square foot mansion to a cell and be like, it's cool. It's cool. Like what he was talking to his wife, you're like, you're a you're insane person. You're you have just you have you can just adapt to whatever. Yeah, because again, he's just a meathead. He's just whatever I'm going to do. I'm going to lift these weights here. He was a lack of meathead. His brain was deteriorating rapidly because of the CTE Joe exotic. The biggest crime he did paying the person to assassinate Baskin only three grand as we discussed previously 25 K minimum at least. And honestly, if they're saying 25 K a lot of times, that's definitely FBI. But again,
Starting point is 00:18:48 remember, they're always they are always the FBI. You have never met a hit man. The only person that you can count on doing the hit that you want, right? A $25,000 check out to yourself because you cannot count on other people. That's like what Jim Carrey did when he wrote himself a million dollar check and then he later cashed it. But in this case, you're going to commit a felony, not become a movie star. No, I'm saying you got to rely on yourself. If you want dirty things done, you got to be your own naughty man. All right. This is also a bit of an update when it comes to the two missing children. Well, there is no update. Well, the mum has been found, right? Yeah, yes, not on the two
Starting point is 00:19:34 missing children, but the mum. The mom has been found and evidently, she's having a great time on the beach. Lori Vallow, Chad Daybell. We cover them a little bit. Very complicated story where Lori Vallow believes that she's some form of Mormon prophet. Chad Daybell, her new husband who helped to kill seven year old divorced when they met. And then her brother, Lori Vallow's brother killed her husband when he said her ex husband, which he said was in self defense. The kids have now gone missing. Chad Daybell's previous wife also died mysteriously after they prophesy that she would die. Oh, both the kids are gone. They found them in Hawaii, which is the nearest facts that we have. Right. They found them in Hawaii. And just to clarify, they found the mom and the new
Starting point is 00:20:19 husband in Hawaii, the children, seven year old Joshua Vallow and 17 year old Tyler Ryan are still gone. And apparently they were involved in a group, Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell group called Preparing a People. Preparing People is a doomsday organization at the heart of the mystery. This whole thing is called this just from insider.com. It was called Preparing a People, which is this sort of this weird doomsday cult. According to the website, its mission is to prepare the people of this earth for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Following the chain of mysterious events, Vallow and Daybell have left in their wake. The organization associated with Preparing a People called Color My Media has attempted to distance themselves from the mysterious couple. They're
Starting point is 00:21:02 doing the slow walk back. They're doing the slow. They're doing the gift of Bart Simpson, of Homer Simpson, just going into the weeds. Nothing to see here. The website clarified that they are a multimedia company that put on Preparing a People, which they define as a series of lecture events focusing on self-reliance and personal preparation. It is not a group and it's not a cult some people join, but it has educational lecture events that can be intended or watched on the day of. We also do not share any of Chad Daybell's or Vallow's beliefs if they are contrary to Christian principles of honesty, integrity, and truth, or if they do not align with the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ. Wait a second. What? They didn't mention the two dead children.
Starting point is 00:21:45 They're like, that's fine. They said they're not into their hobbies. So if they don't support their hobbies of killing their children, then they are covered. That is not a hobby because you can only do it once and a hobby is something you repeat and repeat and repeat in order to get away from your family, not to eliminate your family. Make another kid. Make another kid. You make a whole new kid, a whole new family to annihilate. That's boom again. Done. Another chip in my armor if I ever run for political office, just being associated with you. That's the idea. I'm your anchor. I'm keeping you grounded. Chad Daybell, his home, has been searched by investigators. They removed 43 items, mostly phones, computers, and other technological devices. The county is
Starting point is 00:22:31 still waiting on forensic tests of Tammy Daybell's remains and items seized from her home. So it is probable that we have four murders at the hands of this couple that I don't, I guess they love each other. I don't know what it is. It's a love that we don't truly understand. It's a love that we've never known. You know, I mean, I love Natalie with all my heart and honestly, if she told me she wanted to do a bunch of fucked up shit and she believed for what she was a profit test, I mean, I'd roll with the two because it would be fun, especially when you first meet. You think, okay, you honestly, Joe Exotic is going to have a hard enough time in prison, but he actually, he understands cages. You'll be able to figure it out. If Natalie, you understand
Starting point is 00:23:16 that when you go to prison after Natalie tells you to murder a bunch of children, you're just gone from her and then you in prison, man, it's no, no, no, no, it's all about covering the tracks and we'd never murder kids. We'd go, we'd go for bigger. We'd do something bigger. You know what I mean? I have three contingency plans, which I keep talking about. I have three contingency plans to bring society to a halt. I know. I can't because then they're not secret anymore. Exactly. Madison County prosecutor Rob Wood was still in Hawaii on Monday, unable to be reached for answer. The Valos faced civil or criminal contempt of court charges. If she failed to produce the children by a deadline that was set, I think it's safe to say she has failed to produce
Starting point is 00:24:01 the children. Well, I think, I think Virginia Woolf said, I love deadlines and the sounds they make when they go whooshing past. And this is according to. It's not good. No, it's very good. I hear. That's very good. This is according to Rexburg police department regarding the children. They say we can further confirm that Tylee and JJ were not with Lori and Chad. And there is no evidence that Tylee and JJ were ever in Hawaii. Yeah, they didn't make the vacation. No, no, they did not make the vacation. No, they didn't. Unfortunately, I mean, who knows where the hell these kids are. And I, I hope that some closure can be brought to the family. I agree with that. JJ Valos grandparents, Larry and Kay, Larry and Kay Woodcock announced a $20,000 reward, a $20,000 reward for the children
Starting point is 00:24:50 if they're found. But again, we got two murders of adults, two children murdered. I have a feeling or probably murdered. It seems like it's a rough case and it's a very rough case. And these people, I mean, at least they got them. So now they have them. So hopefully it's a weekend to prosecute them, but they got to get those bodies in order to seal that case. Because if anything's learned from that super from that stupid Susan Powell case is that it's so hard to put together a capital murder case. If you don't have a murder weapon or a body, it is very, very difficult. And of course, in the Aaron Hernandez case, not to bring that back, but they did not have. They had almost everything. They had almost everything. But then they, when they found the
Starting point is 00:25:31 bullet casing in the rental car, right with a piece of gum on it, then he's not a good criminal. How did the gum get on the bullet? He put it on it. He's a moron. He was not good at it. All right. Let me quick little story that I thought was fun, but it turns out it's fake. Washington traffic agency tweets a photo of Bigfoot. It was a fun video, but it looks like they have now admittedly saying they think it's some kind of joke, or it really just looked like a guy with a hoodie and a backpack on. So I, but it for a second, it was almost fun news. Well, you know what I don't like? I don't like police jokes. Remember that the Phoenix we've always talked about this. We don't like, I don't like when, I don't like when cops are
Starting point is 00:26:14 being funny when the, when I need you to be serious, but I don't like funny doctors. And it's always because you're the punchline. I am. We are the one. You are it. Like if you're making fun of me. Yes. If the police are making a joke, it is at your expense. And usually you're free to, yes. People like me. Well, speaking of, cause a lot of people got excited and then a lot of people lost their Bigfoot boners immediately, which is very, very sad. I'm going to, I'm going to just do ahead. This is besides a Kobe Bryant sudden death. I think that this is the most fucked up story of the week that I've received. This is, this is bad. This comes from Fox news.com. Woman who married her birth father is laid to rest along with
Starting point is 00:27:00 their baby after shocking murders. Now this is a very complicated story. That is not good. So my Frank Miles woman who married her birth father is laid to rest with her child. Oh yeah. In a sad conclusion to a disturbing relationship, a woman who married her birth father and gave birth to their child was laid to rest this past weekend along with her baby and her adopted father. After investigators said the birth father killed them all in a murder suicide. Can I just say this? Birth father, he did not birth this baby. She's not a child. It's biological. It's a biological father, not birth child. I don't think that's proper. I'm with you. I'm with you. I think that if that's the biggest thing that you're offended by, we have to have a conversation. It's not the
Starting point is 00:27:49 biggest thing. I'm just starting to pick apart just piece by piece. Birth father makes it sound like he's like, oh, I'm bloated. Oh, I think I got a baby. No, then it's always shit. It's always shit. Exactly. Now this whole, I don't even know. I don't even know how all this works. So Alyssa Pladle, right? So this came from, they go all the way back. Okay. Right. So Steven Pladle, her father, 1995, he was 20 when he met a 15 year old girl named Alyssa on the internet. Okay. So soon she became pregnant and gave birth to a girl they named Denise. Alyssa Pladle said in an interview last week that they put the girl up for adoption when she was eight months old. She also believes Steven Pladle physically abused the baby. In her interview, she did not elaborate. It was so hard
Starting point is 00:28:36 to give her up, Alyssa said, but I had you because I wanted her to live and be happy. The most of her short was to be her short life. She was. See, Tony Fusco and his wife, Kelly adopted the girl. They renamed Katie and raised her with their biological daughter in Dover, about 80 miles north of New York City. They had a very normal life, said Carrie Gould, Kelly Fusco's brother. My nickname for Katie was Pac-Man. She was always eaten. She loved animals. She was a vegetarian. Katie was an aspiring artist, but that is a very funny way to have a sister feud. Be like, you name me Pac-Man. Why do you think I have the eating disorder I do right now? I'm the bad one. I could see it. Yeah, sure. And after she turned 18 in January, Katie, who was told, she just was told she was
Starting point is 00:29:19 adopted. She found her birth parents and messaged them. The Pladals were happy to reunite with her. They wanted to meet up. Instead of going to college in August, 2016, Katie moved in with the Pladals in Henrico County, Virginia. Tony and Kelly Fusco, her adopted parents, were apprehensive, but they thought Katie was old enough to make her own decisions and they supported her, but all was well and not in the Pladal home when they arrived. Steven and Alyssa, her biological parents, already decided to separate and were sleeping in separate rooms. Alyssa Pladal said she had suffered emotional and verbal abuse by her husband for years. Alyssa Pladal told Katie privately that Steven Pladal had abused her as a baby, and that was a major reason for their adoption. That was made for
Starting point is 00:30:00 the adoption force for her own safety. Katie, according to Alyssa, didn't appear to be concerned. Steven Pladal's behavior changed after he met Katie. Alyssa Pladal said he began wearing skinny jeans and form-fitting shirts. Okay, well, hold on a second. That is like the least of our worries here. It's a slow roll. He just wanted to look like Keith Urban. Why would they even include that? That's just a dig at hipsters. Starting to get sexy for his daughter. That is a dig at the millennial movement of skinny jeans and tight shirts. I try to look good, but not to my own biological daughter. I'm immediately concerned, Alyssa, after she did it again, after he did it again the next night, because apparently he started sleeping in Katie's room on the floor.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Just slowly moving in there. In May 2017, she learned from her 11-year-old daughter's journal of the incestuous relationship, and Katie was pregnant. Her daughter wrote that she and her sister were told by Steven Pladal to refer to Katie as their stepmother. I started to become hysterical. I called him. I said, is Katie pregnant with your baby? He just said, I thought you knew. We're in love. That's what he said. I started screaming. She said, yes, we're in love. They released a series of pictures on a thing called Plenigists. 20-year-old kids. Oh, there was a thing. There was a picture. They did like, oh, it's a picture of them like kissing each other. It's like engagement photos of them with the baby. And they ended up moving together. Oh,
Starting point is 00:31:36 but then he got arrested for incest. All right. Well, there you go. But that's not the worst conclusion of that story, because the man goes on. No, they didn't, because they showed up. And then when he got released on bail, he fucking killed the whole family. All right, there it is. Thank you, Henry, for the story. That was indeed disturbing. So that man is- I'm sorry for everything. I was just trying to spread the news. It's good to remember that our lives are not that fucked up. You're doing the start spreading the news line here, but like usually that's for like, the Yankees win. The Yankees win. The stock market's through the roof. World War II, we win, victorious. But you're doing- I'm a Newsy. I'm a Newsy, but for family annihilators.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Hey, he's a baby, so Nickleforth, Nickleforth. Hey, so your daddy may love the daughter, fucking everybody, kill her family, huh, Nickle? That's right. Oh, you want to buy me? Okay. Honestly, you would be a surprisingly busy Newsy. You would probably be selling the most amount of papers than everyone realizes that the true crime boom in the 1910s is a very big market. Next thing you know, you're a kingpin. Who knows? Well, let's move on to a story of crime, but more innocent crime. This dude was in Arizona. And what do you do in Arizona? You're bored as hell. There's nothing really to do with tan and taupe 24-7. The sun is beating through your brain. You think that Hernandez's CTE was bad. Your brain in Arizona just gets shrunk like a raisin.
Starting point is 00:33:17 No, you get to go look where all the gems are, and you've got all that sand, and there's a lot of stuff to do in Arizona. There is, and there's a lot of walls as well. And what do you do on walls? You tag walls, right? That's what I do. You know me. We are too. I got the big kiss tag. You're A.C. No, I do the thing where I do, I think like dogs do, right? Just when I have butthole problems, I just grind my butt against the wall. And then the smear, that's my tag. I'm not even going to talk about what Puffin was licking on the sidewalk the other day, like it was ice cream that he had never tasted before. It was truly disgusting, and I still kissed him. Okay, so there was a dude who was graffiti penis man. That was his graffiti tag
Starting point is 00:33:57 was penis man. He tagged dozens of spots in Arizona. And because there is nothing else, there are no other crimes in Arizona. Absolutely not. Absolutely not a single other one, not a single other crime. The police bumped this case up to top priority, and they were able to arrest Dustin Schomer. But they didn't just arrest Dustin Schomer, they treated him like Momar Gaddafi. They treated him like he was a terrorist about to blow up World Trade Center one. 25 SWAT members showed up to I guess they wanted to make an example of him for some reason, even though it's just fucking graffiti. He's not Banksy, but I guess he was flying in the face of their authority. Because they become fairly known. Many people were complaining about penis
Starting point is 00:34:47 man. So he was in a Phoenix condo. 25 heavily armed SWAT members came in. This is what he wrote. He said, they raided my condo and vehicle, swarmed my entire complex in West Phoenix with 25 heavily armed SWAT officers, and pointed a silenced assault rifle in my face. He was booked on 16 counts of aggravated criminal damage, eight counts of criminal damage, and one count of criminal trespassing, all related to the incidents where he spray painted the words penis man. I am going to say, you know, we've talked about this, the government program, when it comes to getting military equipment to local police municipalities, we talk about that a lot on able against top at the fact of the matter is they don't need military equipment, because the majority of
Starting point is 00:35:35 crimes are people tagging words like penis man on walls. You don't need the SWAT team to show up. And again, you're in Arizona. There's five cults for every square mile. Go do real police work. Oh, yeah, dude. This is a I don't really understand. People are very mad because it's like he also did the Tempe municipal building. He did a lot of big, I guess, of big places. He's saying that he's a copycat. He's multiple penis men, and then he is the only one of them. And so I guess they got a lot of attention on social media, we put a fire under the butt of the police to go and fucking try to really put the hammer down on him. But according to him, I just spend the last two or four hours in Tempe and Phoenix police custody for spraying penis man, the raided
Starting point is 00:36:24 my condo and vehicle and swearing my entire complex in West Phoenix, 25 heavily armed SWAT officers and pointed to silence assault rifle on my face. Anyone with any doubt of the bad guys are here, be certain it's the city of Tempe City and Phoenix and Phoenix forces Valleywide. There's no excuse for pointing an AR 15 in the face of a non violent offender. I agree with you. They put an assault rifle put a assault rifle in his basically in his mouth. They got him good. But he finally says for the record, I hate the institution of the police, but I do not think every single cop is a bastard to say they all are is in my opinion, stupid to their level of profiling. There you go. Some of the detectives I met seem to be genuine penis man fans.
Starting point is 00:37:03 And then he says, finally, penis man is neither man nor woman. You know me. We are all penis man. That's right. He goes on to tell the Phoenix Times on Monday. The Phoenix New Times says that he is quoted as saying I am not the original. There are hundreds of copycats with very distinctly different handwriting. So there are many penis men and they don't just have to be men. They could also be penis women. You're penis men women, penis men women. So he is he doesn't seem to be the only penis disciple. And it looks like probably it's more of he's saying it's more of like a thought virus. I agree. So if you're in Phoenix, I think you have a duty to go out there and tag penis man many don't do this. Don't call for it. Don't call for a public. I do think that it's important to
Starting point is 00:38:06 do this. But wait, it's not officially wink. The policy wink of here in LPN for you to be tagging the cities of Tempe or Phoenix with the words penis. The only policy we have is no helicopters. This is about civil disobedience, Henry. Nonviolent civil disobedience. We're not the weather underground. We're not blowing things up. Simply tagging the word penis man. The words penis man is we're all penis. We're all penis men. And don't let the military 1033 program. Oh my god, we need to highlight that but we'll do that on a different show because then I get all serious and I get mad because these police are heavily armed and dare I say it's a police day folks. But honestly, I love we have many cop listeners and I've met many like sound good police officers.
Starting point is 00:38:54 My father just he just partied here. I mean, he's enjoyed being a police officer. Yeah, your father partied on on the clock, which is why he got to retire early. Yes, you got a gift. You got a gift of being allowed to retire like super early. Yeah. Yeah, but it's fine. It's a that he's glad that he did. No, technically, technically, your father did it right because when you get when you mess up in certain settings, like especially when you're in a huge union, you just get pushed up to the desk job, which I know in some people's minds is like, oh, I want to be on the streets. But like, no, my father wanted a desk job immediately. He'd never won. He wasn't one of those guys that are like, no, I want to bust some heads like no,
Starting point is 00:39:39 he was very excited to be at a desk because that's where the real police work happens, y'all is really. Yeah, it's the paperwork. You know what? It's the paperwork and it's putting everything together. It's putting all these stories and putting these you have to put an investigation together. It takes office work. I could see I could see the prosecutor in a robbery case just be like, all right, give me the files and be like, just look at all the beer rings that are on all the pages. Be like, you guys been putting a lot of hours in on this. Oh, is that right? Yeah, yeah, we put a lot of hours in more like a lot of sours. I've ever tried a sassaw. No, my father was that drinking a sassaw. And no, he was a size off. I don't know how you pronounce that stupid
Starting point is 00:40:21 fucking sour beer. I said sour beer. Just you don't I don't understand the sour beer. I like a pilsner. All right, let me take a look at this next story. What kind of beer did your father drink though? I could see him just as the Budweiser. But yeah, but that's right. Every day. He loved him almost more than he loved his son. All right, let's get into this next story. This comes from now. This is what I'm going to put this out there. This is ladled with controversy because there's many accusations flying around some more credible than not. But I wonder I just wanted to talk about it because I think it's interesting. Okay, the singer of Mars Volta. This comes from stereo gum. Mars Volta singer says his dog was killed by Scientologists protecting that 70 show
Starting point is 00:41:05 actor. This is by Peter Hellman. What Cedric Bixler Zavala of the Mars Volta and at the drive-in with great bands love those bands had to put down his family dog yesterday after she ate rat poison. He says that Scientologists protecting that 70 show star Danny Masterson were behind it in 2017 Bixler Zavala's wife Chrissy Carnell Bixler accused Masterson of raping her while they were dating in the late 90s. Several other women have also made similar accusations against Masterson who has denied all of the allegations. Bixler Zavala and Carnell Bixler are both former Scientologists. Masterson is currently an active member in the Church of Scientology. I guess a lot of this kind of comes from the fact that I mean, I have been talking a lot about LRH recently
Starting point is 00:41:47 in a more facetious manner than not. I just approve a cult leader who does not take himself out with the entire group. Well, that is my barometer of who a good cult leader is. Is someone who doesn't make everybody commit suicide? Well, and of course, when it comes to L Ron Hubbard, obviously, I'm not a Hubbard head. That's Henry's job. Yeah, I'm a Hubbard head. Yeah. Scientology has seemed to take a more nefarious switch, a change with being lead with the leadership of what's the name of this little guy? David Miskovich. No, he does. I would say that, but I do believe that LRH was full of shit, and it was always bad from the very, very top, but it has gotten more aggressive, have time has gone. Obviously, stuff like this happens more
Starting point is 00:42:33 often. They are also the weakest they've ever been. Well, don't you think? Not financially, but socially and numbers wise, Scientology is incredibly weak. But there also seem to be getting harder. They seem to be getting more insulated because of all the negative pressure, it seems to be. Because they're kicking. They're kicking. They're in a corner, so they're doing more and more. It seems to be violent stuff. So he believes that this is connected to the Church of Scientology, that raw meat was found with rat poison laid in his yard. And I'm not saying it's outside of their parameter, because they like to harass people. That's their favorite thing. What are they called? They like to ruin your life. They're called the squirrel hunters.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Squirrel busters. Squirrel busters. And if you're a furry, that means something else entirely. But when you are a Scientologist, it means you're going for people that are former members of Scientology that have been speaking against the Church. So now, he has become a public figure against the Church, very much so against the Church. Danny Masterson gets, he is at the center of a swirl of horrible accusation. Absolutely. And he is also being, but he has chosen the, he has chosen to lie within the strong arms of Scientology for protection. He has pulled in, meanwhile, other people are getting out. And I believe that Bixlers of Olomax are very good point of saying, if Beck can leave, what the fuck is your chicken shit excuse?
Starting point is 00:43:56 Which is words that he says specifically to Danny Masterson. Obviously, Danny Masterson needing the support and the financial support. And if he ever has any semblance of a career going forward, it will be actively tied to Scientology. But did you hear this story also, Henry? Sort of on, in connection with that, Juan Alderte, he was a rock bassist. He was a rock bassist for Mars Volta. He is now in a coma, January 13th. He got in a very serious bicycle accident. He is now in a coma. This is according to a statement. They say, hi everyone, this is Ann Juan's, this is according to a statement from Juan's wife. Hi everyone, this is Ann Juan's wife. Well, I generally hesitate to share personal details on social media.
Starting point is 00:44:43 It felt right to include all of you who've supported Juan over the years, fans, fellow music and lovers of musicians. Juan was, was in a solo, no cars, no other people and very serious bicycle accident on the 13th. He always wears his helmet, but he still sustained head trauma. And now, of course, he is in the hospital. So it is a coincidence, but a strange coincidence that Scientology has a beef with the singer of Mars Volta. And now the bassist of Mars Volta is also in an accident. Is it connected? Go back and watch the Justin Trudeau, not Justin Trudeau. What's the name of the guy? It's Trudeau something. It's Louis Thoreau. Louis Thoreau. They're all the same to me. Louis Thoreau, go back and listen. They're not all the same. I know they're all
Starting point is 00:45:25 very different. Yes, Louis Thoreau never wore blackface. Louis Thoreau watches my Scientology documentary. Just a Thoreau didn't wear blackface. No, Justin Trudeau did. Oh, yeah. I can't keep all these names straight. Trudeau with blackface, Thoreau Scientology documentary. So watch that documentary and they really do a good job of showing what it's like to be an ex Scientologist. And just the colossal pain in the ass that these people make your life. Yes. Yes. Get out if you can. Get out if you can't. So who knows? But I know it's very, very difficult. I know I'm saying a thing that is easy to say, not easy to do. Absolutely. Get the hell out. Just disappear. Just ghost them. Yeah. But then of course, because Scientology does have such a lock on LA,
Starting point is 00:46:14 it still surprises me. I always go, I love to stay for Hollywood Roosevelt. They have a lot of property. But because I remember a day, I remember working for a show. And then I was talking with Ed Larson, he experienced the same thing where we were told to never say a bad thing about Scientology. But now they're just fucking punching bags in the city. Really? They don't have the same social power anymore, but they have a lot of property. They do. They have a lot of money in property. But from what I've seen, when I walk past these buildings, because I am not, I do this, I like to look up against the window to look in and this shit's fucking all empty. Everything's empty. It's all a shell game. They are, they are dying. Really? But not financially.
Starting point is 00:46:57 They just have to decide whether or not they're going to flex that muscle one day and what they'll do with all that money. So they're going to be very scary. They can do whatever they want. They're going the North Korea route where nothing is in the buildings, but you have the illusion of success and power. That's very interesting because they still have churches and stuff. They're still active. Like they have, I feel like if they were to have their biggest communities are probably in LA and Clearwater from what I've seen and what I've heard. But honestly, they are, they're kind of on their way out. But don't you think that they still have like an immense amount of really powerful members? They could make a big move if they want. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:37 But it just depends on what they want to do with it. It sounds like they're just trying to make as much, they're just trying to cling to that money. And the upper management is, is just living in a fantasy world until, I mean, you know, they still think all the rage is coming back. Yeah, they keep so wide on for a period of time. Yeah. So they're waiting. They're just waiting to see if he'll show up. And if he shows up, I mean, part of me thinks I show up in costume in makeup, shave the beard with a cane, do the whole Willy Wonka thing where I walk up to him. And then I do the somersault and be like, yes, everybody and welcome back. I'm here. Where's the boat? You know, I mean, like it'll be so much fun. They'll be so excited. I think that that is,
Starting point is 00:48:22 I think you could do it maybe a few years from now. I don't think Elrond Hubbard died as that old of a man. So maybe in 20 years, you could pull it off with a little makeup. No, he comes back all young and vibrant like me because I look like a young handsome LRH. Well, that is one of the rudest things that's ever been said about the man. I'm joking. You look great. But they truly do keep if you go to, I believe it's the UCB in Los Angeles right across the street. The celebrity center. The celebrity center up top. There is an office and they always keep the light on like their Motel six for cult leaders. And it's kind of cute. I think it's a kid like Santa Claus. Well, let's move on to a hero of the week. This story, I just find it, it warms my heart, Henry, because
Starting point is 00:49:21 this is every 13, 14 year old person's dream. Well, this is my, I remember fucking Chibin. I was fucking 18 and be like, fucking legalize it. Legalize it. So there was a dude, he was in Wilson County. He was arrested for smoking marijuana. He's 20 years old, but he said, you know what, this shit should be legalized. Spencer Allen, Boston, he was called to the podium in front of the judge. Boston was apparently expressing a viewpoint that marijuana should be legalized from the podium. Yeah. And it was at this point, he took out a joint, put the cigarette in his mouth and lighted it up. They call it a marijuana cigarette. Of course they did. Fucking lame, dude. You're not fucking telling this guy's story at all, man. But the thing is, it totally worked
Starting point is 00:50:13 because people in the courtroom started laughing. Yeah, like, yeah, boy. He was charged with this orderly conduct and simple possession. You're gonna fucking arrest me for being chiltacular, man. His bond is $3,000. The marijuana that Boston smoked did have a strong odor. It was some sweet, sweet herb. Shnush, dude. Fucking smoking that fucking rags, dude, in there, man. The bad shit. So there you go. That is every fucking eggs in there, man. Everyone's dream. He's got a long hair. Fuck you, dude. Fucking judge, you think you're gonna fucking come for my ass? Dude, I'm fucking living on beats. He looks like a young big Lebowski, got a little beard going on. So there you go. Okay, fucking catch me, dude. Time's a fucking construct, man. I'm seven hours
Starting point is 00:51:04 ago, man. I'm four hours from now, dude. What are you gonna do, man? Then I think you would already be in jail, but Spencer Allen, Boston, you are this week's hero of the week for doing everyone's dream of smoking a J in front of the judge. Well, being brought up on we charges, being like legalize it, legalize it. You took a hit for the rest of us. Spencer Allen, Boston, hero of the week. Good job, brother. Hopefully they don't throw the book at you. And if they do, smoke them pages. They will. Yeah, smoke them pages, doc. That is, of course, also just to clarify that all took place in Tennessee. So, Tennessee, get that legal weed. Nashville, one of my favorite cities to be in. Old country music, some beer and some weed. It's a dream come true.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And a Robert's bologna sandwich, which Henry, people back up the bologna sandwich at Roberts, and you need, when we're in Nashville next, I am taking you to Roberts and you're gonna have that bologna sandwich and your mind is going to be changed. I will have a bologna sandwich with you. Yes, that is fine. We should do it for lunch. Yes. Okay, we can do it for lunch or dinner. I think it's more of a dinner. We have to be drunk. Yes, we have to be drunk. I will say whoever this, what's a man's name and smoke weed? Who's our weed? The hero of the week is Spencer Allen, Boston, a man. Spencer. A man, he needs to be named Thrice because he's a mentor and someone we can all look up to. Spencer, we are very proud of you here. You did a great job. I'm more than
Starting point is 00:52:36 certain your lawyer and your family is like super disappointed with you right now. But what I would say is don't let that ever change you, man. Don't ever let that change you, dude. Yeah, you'll never, you got to, at one point, you might have to button down, try to keep a job or something, especially chasing whatever series of crimes that are about to fucking heartily ladle upon you, bro, right now. It's just a joint in the courtroom. It's not that big of a deal. Cops are going to stick a fucking nightclub up your ass. You're going to have a couple of bad days in there. It might be. Afterwards, keep that easygoing lifestyle, but also remember just, you know, to try to hold all together because you can quickly let your whole life slide into nothing on that. This man is,
Starting point is 00:53:15 he needs a statue outside of the courthouse. As soon as they legalize weed in Tennessee, he's the legend. He's the goat. He's the one that people need to remember. He sacrificed his freedom just for a joint. So you could smoke a joint. I can smoke a joint. Everyone in Tennessee can smoke a J. Just a bronze statue of him in cargo shorts and a shirt with a wolf on it and his fucking halftrits. I mean, I think that's tubular, man, honestly. I agree. All right. This comes from D. Is it a listener letter that I just thought was fun? It's quick. I want to let you know that at the end of a recent episode, after Ben asked, I wonder who's got boobs.com. And Henry thought he was referred to a site called who's got boobs.com. This one word. I was shocked to find that nobody
Starting point is 00:53:57 had registered it. Well, now it's mine. I'm now the proud owner of W W dot who's got boobs.com. I'd love to hear your suggestions for what to do with it. And I'm putting that out there for everybody. Shoot us suggestions inside stores L P O T L at gmail.com and find out what should he do with who's got boobs.com. Literally, it has to be a picture of anyone with boobs, both male and female, maybe a frog with boobs. Who's got boobs? I'd love to see it be done. I'd love to see who's got boobs. There's a lot of us out there. Mm hmm. I have breasts. I think I might have breast cancer. I'm feeling a lump. I'm going to the doctor. Seriously. It's on my nipple. Seriously. How hard? How big? I don't know. I'll have Travis feel it as soon as he's not an employee. So in 25 years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I'll fire him and hire him. All right. So this comes from T. Not the not that T, not T and no, but from T. Okay. I used to clean out hoarder houses and I used book contacts and we had one where an old guy died of pneumonia over the winter and sat there for about three months before his neighbors took notice. The fire department had to cut out part of the wall to get him out of there since the house was packed from floor to ceiling with books minus a weird little base camp he had in the living room where you could hang out and eat. Every hoarder has a weird smell. That's pretty similar. It's kind of a combination of unwashed dishes, kitchen garbage, dirty laundry and often mice, which is it has kind of an ammonia-y smell from their pee.
Starting point is 00:55:27 It's worse if there were cats and the guy in question only had one which somehow managed to get fur all over everything. The guy's book collection was academic stuff from when he was an engineering professor, unsold inventory from when he owned a used bookstore and just hoardery books that he hoarded, each with a little scrap of paper indicating the date, time and price he bought it for. He also had a bunch of cool pen and paper dungeons and dragon stuff from the 70s, which is cool. I met this guy when he was alive and he dressed like a teenage gamer kid, baggy shorts, floppy fisherman's hat, shirts with dragon stuff on him. He was like 80. So anyway, guy had like 55 gay lords worth of books. A gay lord is a roughly four-foot cube of cardboard box
Starting point is 00:56:09 that sits on a pallet. Okay. It's around plus extras. I did not know that. I did not know that either, which is why I read this email. Okay. And it took us six months to process this. So on top of the hoarder house smell, there was also a weird cloying sweet smell that sucked to the books no matter what you did. We stored the bulk of the books outside with tarps and the smell didn't go away. They were in a metal shipping container as well and the smell just hit you when you opened it. When you had a single book, there was a little bit of an odor. You sniffed it, but altogether they just smelled like death. One more specifically, mummy. Hmm. The guy had no heat in his house and was sitting there from December to February.
Starting point is 00:56:45 So I'm guessing that went that route. So yes, death smell is definitely noticeable above hoarder house smell. It sticks to everything and I'm guessing gets much, much worse if someone dies in a hot, humid condition. Also, I'm familiar with nose blindness where you get used to a smell after a while and this didn't really happen with the mummy books. Maybe there's something in our biology where we keep smelling dead people. Maybe there is. I don't want to get nose blind to dead people. It's not. I'd like to not to. No, it's not Vietnam. I'd like to know if someone is dead next to me or just. I'd like to know these things. These are things I'd like to know. For sure. All right. So this is a little, so I don't read stuff like this very often, but I
Starting point is 00:57:23 thought it was really fun. Someone sent a message from, it was like a Reddit read through. It was like a Reddit thread. It was a Reddit thread. Okay. From, but it was from no sleep. So technically, this might be fiction, but some of these are really fun and I wanted to read them because I thought I just think that they're fun. I love it. No sleep holds up. This comes from user search and rescue woods. I'm a search and rescue officer for the US Forest Service. I have some stories to tell. I have a pretty good track record for finding missing people. Most of the time they just wander off the pass or slip down a small cliff when they can't find their way back. The majority of them have, have heard the old stay where you are thing and they don't wander far,
Starting point is 00:58:05 but I've had two cases where that didn't happen. Both bother me a lot and I use them as motivation to search even harder on the missing purses cases I get called on. The first was a little boy who was out berry picking with his parents. He and his sister were together and both of them went missing around the same time. Their parents lost sight of them for a few seconds and in that time both the kids apparently wandered off. When their parents couldn't find them, they called us and we came out to search the area. We found the daughter pretty quickly and we asked where her brother was. She told us he'd been taken away by the bear man. She said he gave her berries and told her to stay quiet that he wanted to play with her brother for a while. The last she saw of her brother,
Starting point is 00:58:42 he was riding on the shoulders of the bear man and seemed calm. Of course, our first thought was abduction, but we never found a trace of another human being in that area. The little girl was also insistent that he wasn't a normal man, that he was tall, covered in hair, like a bear, and that he had a weird face. We searched that area for weeks. It was one of the longest calls I've ever been on, but we never found a single trace of that kid. The other was a young woman who was out hiking with her mom and grandma. According to the mother, her daughter had climbed up a tree to get a better view of the forest and she never came back down. They waited at the base of the tree for hours, calling her name before they called for help. Again, we searched everywhere,
Starting point is 00:59:21 but we never found a trace of her. I have no idea where she possibly could have gone, because neither her nor her mother or grandma saw her come down. I am very close to putting a ban on all national parks. It seems like there is a lot of stuff going on in these national parks that we can't explain. We've talked about this on episodes of Last Podcast on the left. That's freaking horrifying. Are you ready for some more fucked up ones? Sure. I was teamed up with another SAR officer because we'd received reports of bears in the area. We were looking for a guy who hadn't come home from a climbing trip when he was supposed to, and we ended up having to do some serious climbing to get where we figured he'd be.
Starting point is 01:00:00 We found him trapped in a small crevasse with a broken leg. It was not pleasant. He'd been there for almost two days and his leg was very obviously infected. We were able to get him into a chopper, and I heard from one of the EMTs that the guy was absolutely inconsolable. He kept talking about how he'd been doing fine when he got to the top. A man had been there. He said the guy had no climbing equipment. He was wearing a parka and ski pants. What? He walked up to the guy, and when the guy turned around, he said he had no face. It was just blank. He freaked out and he tried to get off the mountain too fast, which is why he followed. He said he could hear the other man all night climbing down the mountain
Starting point is 01:00:39 letting out these horrible, muffled screams. Damn, all right. So this is a scary one. I love it. It's another real fucking scary one. I love this. One of the scariest things I've ever had happen to me involved the search for a young woman who'd gotten separated from her hiking group. We were out until late at night because the dogs had picked up her scent. When we found her, she was curled up under a large, rotten log. She was missing her shoes and pack, and she was clearly in shock. She didn't have any injuries, and we were able to get her to walk with us back to these base hops. Along the way, she kept looking behind us and asking why that big man with black eyes was following us. We couldn't see anyone, so we just wrote it
Starting point is 01:01:22 off as some weird symptom of shock. But the closer we got to the base, the more agitated this woman got. She kept asking me to tell him to stop making faces at her. At one point, she stopped and turned around and started yelling into the forest saying that she wanted him to leave her alone. She wasn't going to go with him, she said, and she wouldn't give us to him. We finally got her to keep moving, but we started hearing these weird noises coming from all around us. It was almost like coughing, but more rhythmic and deeper. It sounded insect-like. I don't really know how else to describe it. When we were within the base hops, the woman turns to me and her eyes are about as wide as I can imagine. A human could open them. She touches my shoulder and says,
Starting point is 01:02:02 he says to tell you to speed up. He doesn't like looking at the scar on your neck. I have a very small scar on the base of my neck, but it's mostly hidden under my collar. I have no idea how this woman saw it. Right after she says it, I hear that weird coughing right in my ear and I just about jumped out of my skin. I also heard to the OPS trying not to show how freaked out I was, but I have to say I was really happy we left that area at night. Damn, all right. A couple of creepy stories right at holding up. No sleep. How scary. All right. Well, I think it's great to end this episode on some true creepy spaghetti. We haven't had a, I mean, we don't know if it's, if it's true. I'm going to say it's no sleep. Yeah. I mean, I like it to be true. I think it's fun. I think
Starting point is 01:02:46 that it's a fun game to play with our, our minds. Right. It's true to the extent that somebody wrote it down, thought of it and put it on the internet. So it's true to that degree. It's, it is, and it was written down. Hey, man. So were the 10 commandments and those are very nice. Very nice. All right, everyone. Well, thank you all so much for listening. And we mentioned Boston a little bit earlier. We have tickets available for April. So come on out. Enjoy us beefy boys. Last podcast on the left live.

And Travis said that he had been thumbing through it. And he was like, it's good. And I almost cried
Starting point is 01:03:34 because I'm like, I don't know how to read. And I'm just so happy that people seem to be enjoying it as they've looked through it.

Also, Austin, Texas, those tickets are not available
Starting point is 01:04:15 yet. We're still waiting. I have no clue what the hell is going on with Moontower. I don't know why they have not released our pictures. I don't know they have released our tickets, but we are close. Yes, we are close. That is completely out of our control. The comedy mafia, which is totally a real thing. It's just for laughs in Canada and Moontower in Texas. If you're listening to this and you run Moontower, please just open the tickets. We want people to see the show. We want to be able to be able to get these G.D. tickets. Please God. So that will be coming soon. It is out of our control.

If you are a person that lives in a area of the world that does not get Spotify, email us and tell us where you're at. We have a unique situation where we
Starting point is 01:05:43 can funnel directly to the people that are in charge of Spotify and make sure we're pinging them saying like we're trying to get they want you to have it. They don't want you to not have Spotify. They want you to have it. So we're trying to keep pinging them saying, we need it here. We need here. We got listeners here and we want them to be able to hear the show. They want to hear us and they are very open to it as much as you know, they can listen to us and I don't and I haven't yet just smoked a joint in the lobby in there and maybe I should maybe some respect. Send a message. I'll take some crystal methamphetamine. We'll go slow and we'll go fast. We'll hit them by both angles and they will listen to us. But our shit is only going to be tighter under
Starting point is 01:06:26 Spotify. I'm so fucking excited man. This is the these last couple months starting to see like work with them. It's been a lot of fun and now we're bringing it in the next generation. We're bringing it the next generation and for Abling and Stop Hat listeners, we got a big month ahead of us starting February 3rd. We'll have our first caucuses.

Live your life enough to never step inside of a helicopter ever again.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Never. There's no reason to. Unless you're being coptered away from a mountain. And even then. And then if that is true, laugh because you've been saved from a mountain because a man with black eyes is there and he's staring at you and God knows what's happening and you should be laughing inside of that one helicopter. I don't know if you're lucky. You're lucky that you can. I mean you're going to get pinged though. You just described the end of Texas Chainsaw Massacre but instead of a pickup truck or a truck. You're very thankful. So if you're just laughing madically. What happened on that mountain? You're covered in blood. A lot of bad should happen on that mountain. There's a lot of fucked up stuff happening there. A man with no faces out
Starting point is 01:07:42 there. So then you should be thankful for a helicopter. But if it's just if you're just feeling fun or you want the Instagram photo, don't do it. Okay. And love. Love your life. Love your life with your friends. Love your family. Tell them you love them. Because you never know when the earth will literally crack open from underneath you and swallow everyone that you love. I've been watching on Instagram. They have the things like what if it happened and there was one where it's like, what if the earth gets sought in half? And I'm like, I don't need to think about this. Why do I have to do this? I don't have to think like this. All right, everyone. Thank you all so much for listening. Hail yourselves. Hail Tatum. Magusta Lations. Hail me. No copters. No
Starting point is 01:08:24 helicopters no matter what. I'd say even I'd be wary of escalators. Hello, last podcast network listeners. This is the adventures of Danny and Mike.
