Police say the only common threat in the killings is the time of day.
The Night Stalker apparently picks his victims at random, entering their homes after dark through unlocked doors.
I'm afraid for everybody, elderly, young, everybody.
I've been very apprehensive. I keep my doors locked and my guns loaded.
Hey, weirdos. I'm the night, and I'm a stalker.
And this is morbid.
Whoop. Woop-titty-whoop. Listen to those crickets.
Guess where we are?
We're outside again.
Because we're covering the night stalker.
So we wanted to be in the night.
Without a stalker.
Hopefully.
Except I think I might have heard a coyote making like yelping noises down the street.
Well, that's all right.
And we're surrounded by bugs.
But other than that.
Yeah.
I really didn't want to be outside, but...
But it's so beautiful.
Is Elena's world and we're all just living in it.
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah.
I'm glad you've recognized that.
You're welcome.
No, I'm just kidding.
She's great.
It feels like fall.
So I'm just embracing it.
It really does.
We're wearing sweatshirts.
We're comfortable.
I wish I wasn't wearing shorts, though.
That's true.
I can understand that.
I'm wearing nice, comfortable sweatpants.
I'm wearing jorts.
Because that's what podcasting is all about.
I know.
I was going to wear sweatpants, but I thought we were going to be in the pod lab, and it's normally a little more warm in there.
It's like 400 degrees in there at all times.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Let us know if these crickets are annoying the shit out.
of you and we won't do the skin.
Or you could just get over it.
No, I'm just kidding.
But since you guys seem to dig us recording outside last time for our Woods episode.
Yeah, people thought that was great.
Yeah.
And we're, you know, it goes with the theme this week again, so we're going with it.
I hope I don't get covered in mosquito bites this time, though.
Yeah, I didn't get any mosquito bites.
So you must be sweeter than I am.
Maybe.
Last time, I was, like, covered.
Oh, my God.
I hope a bug doesn't land on the microphone.
Oh, God.
It will be like, blah, like, blow everybody.
Because we bought our new microphone, y'all.
Yay!
I'm kind of sad that this microphone picks up anything because I was drinking a Captain Crunch
Slurpee, and now I feel like I can't drink it anymore.
That's true.
It's amazing.
It sounds gross, but it is amazing.
I just love that you handed me it to try it, and she just hands me it and goes, I'm trash.
Well, because I bought an actual large Slurpee at 7-Eleven.
way here. So I was like,
here, try this, I'm trash. Yeah, try this, I'm trash.
I am. Sorry, I accept it.
I accept it. I love you.
And then I gave it to John. I was like, try this.
What trash cereal does this taste like?
Try that. Try that right quick.
He was like, Captain Crunch isn't a trash serial.
It's true. You got like very offended by it. He was like, that is not a trash
series. Also, I think we're going to try and get a P.O. box soon.
We are so that we can, um,
send you things without sending you our actual addresses because love you, but...
But I don't know if you're a murderer.
But you know.
Just kidding.
I know none of the other than murderers.
I hope.
But also, you know, you guys can write to us if you want to because good old-fashioned snail mail is still pretty awesome.
Yeah, I want that.
I love snail mail.
We'll write you back.
Yeah, we'll write you back.
So, you know.
We'll get a P.O. box.
We'll let you know what it is.
And then you can write a shit.
Mm-hmm.
And yeah, I don't know if there's a lot of true crime news.
Did you hear about the guy that, like, killed his...
pregnant wife, I think.
Oh, that's what I was literally just thinking about.
Other little girls? Yeah, it's horrific.
He went on like several press conferences
being like, I just want them to come home.
They're my world. And it's like, you're a piece of shit.
You fucking kill them, you dick. And I'm pretty sure it was a two-year-old and a four-year-old.
Yeah, they were like babies. And then she was pregnant.
Yeah.
How did you do that? Like, I just don't understand how you
watch somebody walk down the aisle towards you and exchange like beautiful vows.
and, like, create three lives together, and then just destroy all of them.
And how you murder your own children, or any children, for that matter, but your own
children, but your own flush and blood.
Like, I can't even get mad at my girls.
Like, I get, like, if I have to, like, reprimend them, like, they, like, do not do that
and have to use, like, a stern voice, I immediately feel bad afterwards.
I told Ila that she couldn't have another cookie last week, and it destroyed me for, like, a couple hours.
Because you're like, I just want to make you happy.
I just want to give you another way for her.
can't imagine.
And that was their dad.
Like, that was their dad.
Okay, I can't.
I know, I can't even think about it.
No, I can't.
Like, John and I brought up the article
when we were reading it the other night, and John said it.
He was like, I can't.
He did go into this.
Because you just think about, oh, I just...
Yeah, it's just too much.
That's so horrible.
And unfortunately, tonight we are doing,
obviously, Richard Ramirez, the nightstocker,
and fair warning, everybody.
It's a real bad guy.
Was that a coyote?
Did you hear that?
I did, but I think it was another case of us hearing a car, thinking...
Oh, shit.
I think it was like a...
Misdiagnosing a coyote screen.
I mean, coyotes don't screen.
Can you imagine if coyotes just walked through the woods, being like, whoop!
I'd be like, girl, you're not scary.
You're kind of funny.
What if it just said, I'm a coyote?
I'm a coyote.
That'd be awesome.
I'd be like, hey girl.
But what I was, what I was saying,
was this is a very, very heavy one. Richard Ramirez is literally, like, he is,
he did the damn thing. By far, he is the worst. Yeah. He's way up there. When you really get down
to the nitty-gritty, he is the worst. And I honestly didn't think that before, because I had read a lot
about him, and I knew a lot about him, and I thought he was awful anyways. He was, like,
top three anyway before. Oh, yeah. But once I really dove, like, deeper into him, he's the
worst. He's so gross. Like by far. Like, because the other thing is, he's, he's got a pretty high
number. I mean, I'm pretty, he has... Well, just killings. Yeah, just killings. And then on top of it,
he had rapes, he had assaults, he had, I mean, he was a real piece of shit. Like, he molested
kids. He killed kids. He kidnapped kids. He did awful shit to kids. And it's like, he had no
no MO, really. His only
ammo was breaking in in the middle of the night. That was it.
Besides that, he had nothing.
That was a pattern. So,
he was completely unpredictable.
He was totally disorganized.
Which is almost scarier.
Oh, it is. Because, like,
I think of Ted Bundy, Timbodey's a fucking
monster. And he has an insanely
high number. But he was
an organized serial killer, so he had
a pattern, he had an ammo.
You knew what to expect. He planned his shit
out, which is scary, and
horrifying, but, like, Richard Ramirez was all over the goddamn half. And he was just, like, insatiable.
And it's like, he had no line. Oh, no line. Like, there was no line for him. Like, I don't know if there
was a line for Ted Bundy. I mean, he crossed many lines as well. Yeah, he had some kids.
Richard Ramirez really had no line. Like, none. So without further ado. So without further ado.
Here we go. The Knight Stalker. Oh, something just bit my foot. It was me. Oh.
Sorry.
Weird.
Weird.
Weird.
Sorry about it.
So, basically, he was the most evil son of a bitch walking the earth at the time in recent memory.
Farn nominal.
Like, we can pretty much say that.
He's a fucking monster.
So he's known to have killed 16 people in 14 months.
Whoa.
Back in 1984 to 1985.
1985 was the year I was born.
Yeah.
At the end of 85.
So when he was caught, I wasn't born yet.
But whatever.
That's good.
Yeah.
So that's good.
But he also raped and injured a ton more in the process.
And he was suspected in at least four more murders.
So they haven't even nailed those.
And he's dead.
He's dead now.
But he spent time in jail.
Oh, yeah.
He got his.
And he died of like blood cancer.
Blood cancer?
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Oh, yeah.
And apparently at the end, and we'll get into this obviously, because I should mention
now, this is going to be a two-parter because there's just so much.
Yeah, there's a lot.
And we don't want to, like, overwhelm you with, like, a four-hour episode of just, like, mayhem and murder.
Legit.
So, at the end, he apparently, his skin turned, like, highlighter green.
Oh, yeah.
I've heard that.
So that's kind of fun.
Yikes.
And, like we said, he had, like, no-IMO.
He used guns.
He used knives.
He would use things.
Usually, he didn't bring things with him, unless it was a gun, or he would bring weird thumb cuffs every once in a while.
Thumb cuffs?
Yeah.
They're, like, they're used in, like,
war situations, like military situations a lot. That's freaky. Yeah, it's a weird. It's more like a...
Like the thing that you stick your hands into, like that? Almost like that, but it's, they're like
actual cuffs. Oh. Yeah, it's a weird. I'll have to like find a picture. But, um, he had other media
names before he was dubbed the Nightstocker, which the Nightstocker is a great serial name. Oh, yeah.
Like, serial names. I mean, I knew what you're talking about. It's a trash cereal.
That is a trash
cereal. No, it's a really good
serial killer name. But his other
names before he got that one included
The Valley Intruder.
The Midnight Stalker.
Yeah. Which was close.
The walk-in killer?
That sounds like...
The walk-in freezer.
This one's by far the worst.
The screen door intruder.
No. Like, someone got fired
after coming up with that. It was from the L.A. Times.
The screen door intruder.
Like, can you imagine that being the one that, like, we were, like, stuck with?
I am Screen Door Intruder.
That's what you go to prison with.
You tell everyone you know that you were just visited by the Screen Door Intruder.
Yikes.
So, he was definitely classified as a disorganized serial killer, like we were saying, completely unlike Bundy.
He didn't plan.
He would literally walk in places at random.
He did not have a victim profile.
He didn't watch his victims.
Like, he walked into a house.
Had no idea what was going on in there.
And sometimes there were men, and he would just, his thing was to take out the man as fast as possible, so that he could focus on the woman.
Oh.
Yeah.
So he was kind of like the Golden State Killer in that sense.
Right.
He made sure the man was securely tied up.
Yeah, like the threat was taking, like, neutralized before he went and did his thing.
He was less organized than the Golden State Killer, though.
Way less organized.
So, young Richard Ramirez was born Ricardo.
Lava, Muno...
I'm sorry. I am not Spanish, guys, so I really apologize.
I can just do this.
I failed Spanish. Yeah, you do all the
tongue rolls and all that.
Minos Ramirez
on February 29th, 1960
in El Paso, Texas.
And that's Leap Day.
Which is supposed to be this fun, whimsical thing,
but didn't turn out that way for him.
Maybe it ruined his life.
It's supposed to bring you luck, I think.
It's like good luck. To be born on a leap year?
Yeah. I think it's like good luck.
I don't be making that up.
I'm going to pull that out of my ass, but it sounds good.
Yeah, I've never heard that, but there's a lot of things I've never heard.
You know what? I'm going to find a source for that.
Do it.
There's got to be a source somewhere.
Plug source here.
I've heard that somewhere.
He was the youngest of five children.
Fuck that.
And I'm the youngest of four.
His father, Julian Ramirez, was actually originally a police officer.
But when Richard was born, he worked as a laborer for the Santa Fe Railroad.
and his mother, Mercedes.
Okay.
Right, Mercedes.
Maybe just Mercedes.
I don't want to be like Mercedes.
Like, I sound very American.
Mercedes.
Mercedes.
Yeah, sure.
Ramirez.
Was actually a labor and a boot factory.
Like the boots from last week?
Like Das Boots.
Das Boots.
Yeah, she was making those.
Shit.
No wonder he was a serial color.
Well, it kind of was torturous because she was constantly exposed to dangerous chemical fumes while she worked there.
And she worked there.
I'm going to wait for that plane to go back.
That huge fucking jet engine.
Just a fucking jet that's going over.
So, she was exposed to these dangerous chemical fumes while she was pregnant with all of her children.
Oh, shit.
So she was sucking in, like, toxic chemicals while working all day while pregnant with all her kids.
No, bueno.
As a result, all of his siblings had some kind of birth defects, like respiratory.
issues. They weren't like, you know, all physical, but some of them, like, respiratory issues,
bone deformities and Richard Ramirez is a birth defect. And the night stalker. I think he's
just a breath defect all in himself. So like, don't do what she did. Don't work around dangerous
fumes if you're pregnant. Actually, I might have to do that someday. Yeah. Gurmass. Hair fumes are like
actually low-key. Oh yeah. When I was pregnant, they like didn't, I couldn't dye my hair. When people
bring their babies into the salon sometime. I'm like, oh. No, that kind of makes me crazy. It tries
well, one, people are trying to relax. So don't bring you're crying baby in. And you're supposed
to be relaxing. And two, you're relaxing. And then three, there's a lot of things in there that I feel
like they should not be breathing in. Well, that's, it's like, we shouldn't be breathing that
shit in. So it's like, babies? I don't know. No, that makes me nervous that someday I might be
pregnant around all that stuff. Well, just wear a mask. I've seen hairdressers that, like,
were pregnant and wore a mask. Yeah. While they did it. And I wasn't like,
you asshole.
Show your mouth.
You huge douche.
So just do that because you don't want a little Ricky.
Sure don't.
So besides that whole thing,
Richard's father was like a super angry dude
and he was prone to fits of rage and violence,
which he often directed towards his family.
Phenomenal.
His kids and his wife.
So he probably had nothing to do with how Richard turned out.
This is like a cesspool of a house.
Oh yeah.
So already that's things are going.
pretty smoothly for a trajectory towards mayhem.
Yeah.
But we've added on the fact that as a child, Richard also suffered not one, but two major head injuries.
Yep.
Two.
Guys, watch your kids' heads.
Just make them wear a helmet for a while.
I mean, once they have a major head injury, man...
You're fucked.
You might want to return them.
Just bring them back to the stork.
It's pretty hard to reverse that.
It seems to be a thing.
Like, it's not good.
John Wayne Gacy had a head trauma.
So many.
Ted Bundy had a head trauma.
Ed Dean had a head trauma.
You had a head...
No, I'm just kidding.
I had a head trauma.
It's all bad.
So, yeah, you're basically shit on a look as a parent if that happens.
So one of them was at the age of two.
Oh, damn.
And it was a dresser fell on him.
And he had to get more than 30 stitches at two years old.
Tether dressers to the wall, people.
Yeah.
If you have kids
Tether dressers to the wall
How many more videos do we need to see where they're like
Oh my god, look at this dresser, it fell on this kid.
That's crazy.
Because kids climb on shit.
Right.
And they pull the whole thing down because it's like physics and shit.
Because it's like physics and shit.
Just tether that dresser to the wall.
I'm saying.
Your seat cushion kind of makes my like legs a little itchy.
That's weird.
Yeah.
Sorry.
It's okay.
I apologize.
I wish I was wearing sweat pants.
You're so complaining right now.
I am complaining.
It's because my Captain Crunch slurpee's gone.
I'm sorry about it.
Oh, you drank that whole thing.
Yeah, I'm trash.
I'm impressive.
You're trapped.
I'm impressed.
I'm self-proclaimed trash.
I love it.
Thank you.
So the second head injury was when he was five.
And he was knocked unconscious by a swing at the playground.
Damn, what a gnarly fucking swing.
Was it made of cement or something?
Who was swinging?
Like, was Dwayne the Rock Johnson?
I almost just spit my shit everywhere.
Was Dwayne the Rock Johnson, like, swinging up.
Sorry, Richard.
Do you smell?
He said, do you smell?
When he was a wrestler, his thing used to be,
do you smell what the rock is cooking?
Do you smell?
Do you smell?
Actually, yes, Richard Ramirez did smell.
I thought that's the joke.
you thinking. Oh, I didn't even realize that connection. Wait, how fitting that I'm having a slurpy right now.
I feel like that's show up his alley. He like lived off of that shit. Oh, God. You don't live up and you brush your
teeth. Sometimes. I'm just kidding. All the time. You have pretty key. Thank you. Oh, my God, thanks.
I like your tea. Wow. I aspire to your tea. What? We're really learning a lot.
It's a moment. We're having a moment. So yeah, he got hit by doing the wrong time.
It was after this injury that he actually started to suffer from epileptic seizures.
Oh, shit.
And they plagued him until he was a teenager.
And then they just, like, stopped?
They stopped.
This is actually kind of funny.
They stopped when he started smoking marijuana.
And that is a thing.
I mean.
It seems more and more to have some kind of connection.
I'm not saying that that's the reason to stop, but it is a thing.
In his early teen years, he actually, this is kind of sad, but like, don't feel bad for him because he's the worst.
He used to start sleeping in a cemetery to get away from his house.
Wow.
Because it was quiet and he could be alone and his dad wasn't, like, beating the shit out of him.
That's actually really sad, but I'm not going to feel that.
Yeah, it actually sounds kind of lovely.
Like, very peaceful.
You get sounds like this.
You just sleep in someone's backyard.
That's what I would do.
And then just like sneak out in the morning.
Maybe that's a little creepy that I just said that.
Yeah, there you go.
Now, as if we haven't already, like, really made a serial killer pie with all of these pieces,
we're missing one, a couple more ingredients.
And don't worry, because Richard got all the ingredients.
Oh, he got, like, double pie.
So I'm pretty sure this was really, I mean, if everything else happened, maybe he could have.
I don't know. I mean, he's one of those, like, the nature versus nurture things tough.
You could argue it for a long time.
Because you could really argue for nurture because he had no chance.
I mean, this kid had everything against him.
But it's also, like, he is so evil that it's like, he had to have been born with some.
Evilness.
But then again, it's like maybe it was the toxic fumes that his mother was sucking in.
Maybe it, like, warped his brain chemistry from the get-go.
So I don't know.
But I know this had something to do with it right here.
And I'm sure everybody will agree.
So during his early teen years, it was his cousin Miguel or Mike who was really to blame.
Fucked.
And he was to blame for fusing the idea of like sex and violence together.
Which is what a lot of these serial killers go through.
Like a lot of these, you know, especially the one that are like sexual sadists like Ted Bundy.
Right.
Like a lot of them get sex and violence fused at some point in a very, usually during their like pre-pupy.
best in years where it's really important to have a good foundation and like a healthy
outlook on sex and release ships and all that they always end up getting something
fucked up that like you can't really turn back the clock so Mike was a former
green beret in Vietnam oh shit so already it's like Mike has seen some things
my father was in Vietnam yeah so now when he came back from from Nam
Mike brought some Polaroids back with him and it wasn't like
I'm dead people?
It wasn't like hashtag food porn or like beautiful scenery.
Uh-oh.
Or anything like that.
They were photos of him decapitating people.
Holy shit.
Raping Vietnamese women.
Oh God.
Torturing Vietnamese women and killing Vietnamese women.
That's literally horrible.
And he showed these to a 12-year-old Richard Rubin.
Who takes photos like that?
A really messed up individual, which Mike was.
And you will see he gets even more messed up.
Oh, God.
Unfortunately, he was showing these things to Richard.
He was telling him how amazing it was and how powerful he felt.
And he was basically telling him how great it was to just take their lives,
take, you know, rape them, do take what he wanted, basically.
So he was putting this in his head already.
And these pictures were like arousing to Richard.
Ew.
Because again, starting to fuse sex and violence together.
there and these are going to be his fantasies now.
I just don't get that. Because he's just not
getting a correct view. One,
on women. Like, he's already getting
a very skewed, very
fucked up message about women, which is
you want to have sex with them, you take it.
You want to kill them? You take it.
You want something from somebody, you take it.
Like, that's what this guy is saying. That is not
what you do. And that's not what you do.
And he was also teaching him techniques he used
in the war, like teaching them out of shoot
a gun. Teaching, which
in and of itself is not a bad thing, but
mixed with everything else. He was teaching him about secrecy and recon and teaching him about
creeping the fuck around, which is exactly what Richard ended up using later in life.
I'm going to teach you today about creeping around. I'm going to teach you about creeping the
fuck around. Today's lesson is creeping around. They also called him Little Ricky. That's a good
rap name. Little Ricky. I'm a little Ricky. There's a rapper right now called Lil Dickie.
Of course, sir. I wish I was kidding. So on May 4th, 1973, Ricky was hanging out.
Ricky. I'm like, Ricky, you know.
Richard was hanging out with Mike at his house.
Uh-oh. He did a lot when he was way too young.
Mike got angry at his wife, Jessica.
No.
And shot Jessica in the face in front of Richard.
What?
Who was 12 at the time.
Just straight up point-blank murdered.
Yep.
Her?
And she was dead. Like, shot her in the face.
Like, was mad at her, shot her in the face in front of Richard.
Jesus.
Mike was found criminally insane and only served four years.
And then was just out?
And then he was out and continued to stay in touch with Richard throughout his killing spree.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
So now already, we have the abusive father.
We have the chaotic house.
The chaotic house.
We have two head injuries.
Now we have a psychotic cousin who has shown him murderous photographs, raping photographs.
He has shown him all this.
And straight up murdered someone in front of him.
There's a woman who he's supposed to be his wife in front of Richard.
Now, what the hell is going to come out of that?
Damn.
Because now Richard is seeing not only how to take from women, but also this is just what the world is.
This is what it is.
Yeah, well, that was his world.
You get mad, you shoot her in the face.
That's just how it is.
Then you only serve four years.
And exactly, and I bet that's cemented in his head that like, oh, well, you, you know, you get what you want and nothing's going to come of it.
That's so messed up. There's also a little kid playing outside right now.
Yeah. And I keep hearing a little kid voice and it's low-key freaking me out.
Yeah, I heard that too.
It's too late. Go to bed. It's barely the summer anymore.
Yeah, that's really creepy, actually. I'm not fair.
I'd rather that coyote that was like, whoop. I like that you just keep saying coyote.
I know.
People are going to be like, you know it's a coyote, right?
I'm like, yes, I do. Okay.
I know.
So, after this whole fun period of life, at just 13 years old.
the logical thing is for Richard to move in with his sister Ruth and her husband, right?
You know, that's fine.
Except her husband happened to be a disgusting peeping tom.
Oh, what was up with his fam?
And decided to take Richard under his wing and show him how to be a disgusting peeping tom.
What the fuck?
So essentially, Richard Ramirez went through, like, he got like a master's degree in being
straight up.
A fucked up monster.
Like, he literally from the
jump was trained.
Like, who does that?
That's child abuse.
He was literally trained.
So he literally showed him the ropes of being a fucking perverted loser.
Ew.
Now, her husband was also,
her husband was also a drug addict
and got Richard into acid for the first time when he was in ninth grade.
Was he addicted to acid?
Well, he started, he took a lot of hallucinogens.
He started taking like...
Richard or the husband?
Well, the husband.
And Richard started taking a lot of...
He took a lot of drugs later.
Oh, damn.
Which is why his appearance suffered.
His appearance fell apart because he was just fucking a maniac.
Well, that does some shit to your brain.
Oh, yeah.
And this is also when he started...
Because he was grown up in a Catholic household.
But this is when he started questioning all of that
and deciding to rebel against it.
And he decided he was going to turn to Satanism.
And he turned to, like...
Satanism isn't actually that bad when you really look into it.
actual satanists are not what this is. Like, he was like a caricature. These are the people that, like,
give it a bad name. Exactly. Like, he made it into what everybody thinks it is. Exactly. Like,
what, what satanic panic was all about. Which is shitty for the people that are actual, just, like,
regular Satanists. If you actually look at, like, I'm not saying we're Satanists. I mean, we're not
saying we're Satanists? No, I'm not any religion. I'm agnostic. I don't know what the hell's going on.
But I just wanted to be clear that, like, we're not saying, like, this.
is what Satanism is.
And also, ACDC was his favorite band at the time.
And bummer for ACDC because the media like demonized them.
Like basically, because they found out that he was, that they were his favorite band and that he loved them.
And they basically like, they essentially like blamed them.
And it's like, dude, just because this fucking tool bag took lyrics way too seriously and took them in a totally different direction.
So many people have crazy lyrics. Like, have you ever listened to Eminem?
Exactly. And it's like, you can't blame the artist.
No.
They're just letting out, they're actually letting it out in a good way.
Exactly.
The outside is so spooky.
It is spooky. Every noise I hear, I'm like, motherfucker.
Motherfucker. I know, and I feel bad. People's windows are probably open, and I'm like, so the night's talk.
Sorry. Sorry.
Sorry about it.
My bad. Here's a bedtime story.
So at 16 years old, because, yeah, he's a little.
only 16 years old right now. All of this has happened in the first 16 years of his life.
And that's the, I actually meant to say, doing any kind of drug before you're like,
oh yeah. Because you're what you always used to tell me when I was in high school and do drugs
because your frontal lobe isn't formed. And it's your basis for reasoning and right long and
logical, yeah, and logical rationale. And if you're starting to fuck with your brain chemistry
before that's formed, it could stop forming and then you're really fucked. Well, and when they
look into, like, killers and stuff like that, they always, like, check out their frontal lobes.
Yeah. Isn't that...
Isn't that...
Because a lot of them aren't, like, formed correctly.
Isn't that where you can tell if, um, head trauma happened?
Like, doesn't it affect something in the frontal lobe?
Well, head trauma can affect anywhere.
Oh, okay.
It depends on the trauma.
Oh. Like, where it is, you know, like, it can basically...
But it can make it so that your frontal lobe doesn't correctly develop right.
Oh, yeah. Especially if you hit in, like, a certain spot...
In the frontal area.
Yeah.
Science.
Science.
See, I listened to you for all those years.
did. I'm proud of you.
I learned stuff.
I learned things.
So at 16 years old is when he began to work at the Holiday Inn.
Yikes.
So he tried to get a job and actually do things.
But while he was working there, he stole a key card.
I was going to say, why the fuck do you think he was working out the holiday inn?
And he broke into a room, and he attempted to immediately rape a woman who was coming out of his shower.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, she immediately attacked her.
But her husband had just left the room to go get something and came back.
when this was happening. And the husband
literally beat him to a
fucking pulp. Like, beat him unconscious.
Which, good on him.
And that's awesome, but what's not awesome
is the fact that he fucking got
away with this, because
the couple was from out of state
and didn't want to come back to deal with the trial,
so no charges were filed.
The hotel couldn't even do anything?
No, well, it's the people who would have to.
But, well, he got fired, I'm sure, but, like,
no charges were brought against him.
So just another thing of, oh, I can get away with this.
Once again, he's emboldened to think he can literally get away with anything.
He's seeing evidence of it.
He saw Mike literally shoot his wife in the face and kill it right in front of him and get four years.
That's just fucking nuts.
And now he attempts to rape a woman and he gets zero because they don't, and I don't, I mean, especially at this time, I mean, it's still awful.
Well, especially in the 80s, it was so fucking different.
come forward because
your like assholes are always going to be like
what did you do to indict this
you know like that's of people? And back then it was
even worse. Oh yeah. I'm sure
people just didn't want to deal with it. And to come
back into a state you're not even from to have to deal with this shit is like
now at this time
there was so there was one person
in Richard Ramirez's life who
was close to him. And was not a shit bag?
No she was well
she's not a shit bag of she's
But she had a, she had some tough, a tough deck of cards laid out to her.
Okay.
To tell.
Her name was Donna Myers.
And she ended up not only being his best friend and roommate later, but she was also
instrumental in his capture.
Okay.
So she's not a ship bag.
So she turned out, she's definitely not shit bag.
But she's, she's just, she wasn't loving her best life at this time.
Right.
So she met him in 1979.
and it was when she went down to El Paso with her friends Armando Rodriguez and Tony Rays.
And they were two of her friends from the San Francisco area, which is where they were from.
Okay.
Now, Armando knew Richard.
So that's how they all kind of got together when she went to El Paso.
And according to Donna, she said when she first met Richard, quote, I thought he was a real nice guy.
Oh.
So she couldn't have been more wrong.
Now, we seem that way.
Another little thing about people who were like slightly close to him was another childhood friend named Ray Garcia said about Richard, quote, we thought he was sick.
He had this disease.
Everything would stick to his fingers.
We called him Ricky the klepto.
Oh.
Because he was a huge thief.
By this time, like when he was 16, 17, 18, he was fucking a kleptomaniac.
He stole everything all the time.
and throughout his murders
you'll see every single murder
he stole shit from their house
it was always part of it.
Truffees.
Yeah.
Now, it was around this time
when they came to El Paso
and they all met,
he actually followed them back to California.
And he started living on like Skid Row.
Oh.
So he slept in parked cars,
he slept in alleys
and he would sometimes sleep in like...
Can you imagine getting into your fucking car
and Richard Ramirez is sleeping in there?
I'd be like, you can have it, bye.
It's your house.
now. It's yours. Congratulations.
When he could, like, scrape money together,
he was sleeping like a flop house. You know what I mean?
Right.
But, uh, so
now Donna, who ended up being
coming, one of his really good friends, in an interview
she said, quote, we'd see him in San Pablo
at least once a month. He'd do his laundry and stay the day.
He dressed in dark clothes,
always dark clothes. He liked to
eat junk food and yogurt, Pepsi and cupcakes and banana
splits, and he never brushed his teeth.
Ew.
He carried a backpack and a small satchel.
He had his clothes, vitamins, and tapes in them.
He always carried a Walkman tape player and wore a black baseball cap.
I like that he thought enough to take vitamins, but not to brush his teeth.
But not brush his teeth.
It's like vitamins are going to help you if you have...
If your teeth are rotting inside of your body.
Seriously.
And he became very adept at stealing cars.
Oh, shit.
Which is important because he...
stole cars all the time to bring
to these crime scenes.
It helped him because
he was never driving the same car.
So it was just another way
that he had zero pattern,
zero anything that they could
latch on to try to catch him.
Well, he didn't really have a home base either,
so I'm sure that was like a tough...
Exactly. Because it's like, when you're living on the street,
it's not like that, you know.
Just disappear into the night.
Yeah. Damn, that's fucked up.
I don't know if this is stupid or not,
But sometimes I get the cases of the Green River Killer and the Knight'stok are confused.
Like, I, like, I tied different details, and I'm like, oh, shit, that was not them.
I could see that.
Well, it's the same, the same detective got them.
Oh.
Frank Salerno.
Huh.
He's, like, a rock star.
Cool.
Wait, the Green River Killer or Killers?
Killer.
It was only one.
Gary Ridgeway.
No, that's not what I'm thinking of then.
Who's the...
The whole side stranglers?
Maybe that's what it is.
That I get confused.
I mean, they're definitely different, but they worked in California.
So, yeah, so he ate like shit.
I like that he mixed yogurt in there, too.
I know, he was like, gotta get those, you know.
Cultures.
Those live cultures.
Activia.
I know, I was trying to think of the word.
He was like Jamie Lee Curtis.
Yeah.
Is that what you thinking?
Yeah, I was trying to think of like...
Or like to animals?
Am I allowed to say all these things?
What is the good gut bacteria?
Why can't I think of the name?
Probiotics?
Probiotics.
That's what I was thinking of.
Jesus.
Having a moment.
So yeah, he was...
He just ate like shit.
He lived off of junk food.
He lived off of soda.
Candy.
And then on top of it, it's like, that's one thing.
You're already gonna fuck up your body that way.
But he didn't...
Not brushing your teeth?
That's just so fucking gnarly.
So his teeth were fucking...
garbage. He got garbage to you.
So, halitosis. You tell the people in your house to stop moving around? Because they're really freaking
me out. Stop living. Everybody sit down. Just sit down until we are done.
Same with the co-yo-so. So what about halitosis? So halitosis was something he became pretty
known for. Oh, God. Because his future victims all said he smelled like fucking shit.
Do you know that halitosis is the first thing I learned about in hair school?
Because you're so close to people.
Oh, yeah.
They literally have a whole chapter dedicated to halitosis.
Makes sense.
And, like, personal hygiene and body care.
Because there, I remember, because honestly, someone with gnarly ass breath will stay with you.
Forever.
That memory of that person will connect with that nasty, gnarly ass breath.
Because I remember, I was on jury duty once.
Oh, no.
It was a dude.
And he was a very nice guy.
He was, like, very put together.
other very clean and he was like just chatting with me some people like get halitosis he had the worst
breath and I remember literally sitting there and being like I'm gonna barf I'm fucking nauseous yeah it is
nauseating I used to work with a girl that had wicked bad halitosis I'm like you're a clean cut dude like
it's like it's like it's something in your stomach like causes it yeah it can be like bad gut
shit right like causing it which is and it's not always people's spot no it's not halitosis in general isn't
No.
Holotosis brought on by this shit is...
Oh, that was 100% as fault.
Just brush your fucking teeth.
Yeah, this is like preventable halotosis.
And like, maybe eat a vegetable.
Just, like, gargle some listerine every once in a while.
Throw a mint in there.
I don't know.
Halitosis is low-key, my biggest fear.
I have mints in every single one of my cars.
Constantly.
I have them everywhere.
Oh, yeah.
So, yeah, halotosis.
His fucking teeth were garbage.
Yummy.
And it was sometime in, like, 1984-ish, which is when he started his
craziness, that Donna, this Donna lady, said that he started taking cocaine.
Oh shit.
And he soon started dissolving the cocaine in water and shooting it.
Oh.
Yeah.
She said, quote, he broke off a needle in his arm one day.
Oh, my God.
That's what he told me.
He ran to the hospital and they had to cut the needle out for him.
He got so hooked on cocaine, he just wigged out.
What the fuck?
So he was like, he was literally taking a little bit of him.
lucidogens. He was, I mean, he was smoking of
marijuana, but I don't know if that really is not a very by-winds.
I don't think that had anything to do that. But on top of everything.
Well, yeah. And then, so he's literally shooting cocaine. He's just always out of it.
He's taking hallucinogens. He's doing all this shit.
Well, cocaine can lead to like fits of rage. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Cocaine is scary.
So this is when he really dove into the devil stuff, like the devil worshiping stuff.
Oh, yikes. Donna said, quote, he really got into it.
He drew a satanic star on the upper part of his arm.
He drew a, she called it a witch's star.
Good.
Her quote, that man.
He drew a witch's star in a circle on his stomach, so a pentagram.
Right.
And wanted to get it tattooed on.
He used palm readers.
He would say Satan is a supreme being like we worship God.
He would tell me that Satan watches over him so he doesn't get caught or get hurt.
Oh, shit.
Now, oddly enough, his first murder, which happened.
in the year 1984
wasn't discovered to be linked to him
until 2009.
Oh, damn.
When they used DNA analysis to link it to him.
And it was a nine-year-old girl.
Oh, my God.
And he never confessed to this one.
Which some people are like,
oh, do you think it was like
he had some kind of remorse?
No, I think he just knew.
I think one, he either
didn't want to get beat up in prison.
Literally might not have even remembered doing it.
Because who knows how many of these he even remembers?
Because he was so strung out.
And two, he probably just doesn't
give a shit. And he did so
much shit.
It's like...
Well, and especially when you're in prison already, don't
they, like, certain prisoners get, like,
real pissed off if you have killed kids?
But he already had a few that he confessed
to, so he was already in deep shit
that way. Oh, damn. But, like,
at this time, he started kidnapping and raping little girls
for a little spell. Yeah, he was a fucking demon.
Oh, I hate that. Um, February
20s... Now, this is... We're going to start
going into this. And again, I said this...
is going to be a two-parter. So we're going to talk about a couple of these cases, and then we will
dive back into it next week.
For part two, because we don't want to...
This is overwhelming, for sure.
And it gets real dark, real fast.
And I really love that there's still fucking kids playing outside, and it's freaking me up.
And they're, like, making weird...
Like, it sounds like the Blair Witch, when, like, remember they're in the tent and all those
little kids' hands are on the tent?
I wish you didn't bring it there.
It sounds like that, though.
It does sound like that.
I'm like, please stop.
So, here we're...
go, trigger warning everybody, because we're starting off with kids.
Ugh.
So, February 26, 1985 was a six-year-old girl.
Oh, my God.
He didn't kill her, but she told, so when she was discovered, alive, she told authorities
that she was kidnapped from a bus bench while waiting for her older sister.
He stuffed her into a zipped laundry bag.
What the fuck?
molested her, and then dropped her off someone.
somewhere else. And then he did it again to another little girl. Like, why? March 11th,
a nine-year-old Monterey Park boy was kidnapped from his home in the middle of the night,
sexually assaulted, and then left an Elysian park near Silver Lake. Oh my God. These are all
him. Now, June 28, 1984, Ma's birthday. Always. Most birthday is in a lot of days. I know.
An elderly woman named Jenny, and I don't have her last name here, so I might need to add that later.
She was stabbed, he broke into her home, she was stabbed repeatedly while she was sleeping and he raped her.
He also cut her throat so deeply that he almost decapitated her.
Oh my God.
March 17, 1985, 22-year-old Maria Hernandez, and 34-year-old Dale Okazaki, these are two women.
they lived together as roommates
Maria was coming home from work
and it was at night
so she pulls into the garage and she goes to close
the garage door and he snuck in
under the door
he just immediately points a gun at her
a 22 caliber handgun
he shoots
I know this kids like legitimately playing outside right now
and I don't know what to do
and I don't know what to do
like we can do anything
what do I do how do I make this stop
So he shot the gun at her.
But, and this is like some superhero shit.
No.
Oh.
Crazier.
She happened to have her keys, like, on her finger,
looped on her finger and, like, on her palm.
Like, she held up her hands.
And it...
The bullet hit the key and ricocheted off.
Holy shit.
Now, she had the presence of fucking mind to drop to the floor
and pretend that he hit her and pretend she was dead.
And he just walked over her and into the house.
But unfortunately, Dale had heard the gunshot, so she hit under a counter.
And when she peeked out to see if he had gone, he shot her in the face.
Oh, my God.
Maria survived.
But unfortunately, her roommate was killed.
That is so horrible.
Now, he wasn't finished that night.
That's same night.
He found 30-year-old Sally on you.
No.
She was pulled over, she pulled over her car, and he walked up to her car, yanked her out of it, screamed at her calling her a bitch, because that was his emo, which we'll find out later.
He constantly would say, like, the same line, like, shut up, bitch, or I'll kill you.
Jesus.
And actually, what's crazy is he said it so many times, and it was reported so many times from survivors that he used, like, the same line that when they did, like, get him and they had somebody look at him.
the lineup. They had everybody in the lineup say, shut up, bitch, or I'll kill you.
So that they could say, like, that's who he is.
Holy fuck. Which is kind of interesting.
That is.
So when you pulled over, he yanked her out, screamed at her, and then shot her several
times. She died the next day.
Oh, my God.
March 20th of the same year, an Eagle Rock girl, little girl, is kidnapped and sexually
molested by a man who breaks into her family's home at night.
Oh, my God.
March 27th.
Now this one's rough.
This is when he like, he ratchets things up a little bit.
Here, this is when he started like really getting a stride of like fucked upness.
March 27th of the same year.
He hit the home of 44-year-old Maxine and 64-year-old Vincent Zezara.
Now, he broke into their home at 2 a.m.
Vincent was asleep on the couch, which always seems like a bad idea in these stories.
It's like there's so many stories.
of like, the husband was asleep on the couch.
Don't sleep on your couch.
Like, sleep in your bed.
Well, you just fell asleep.
But, like, don't do that.
You're just a sitting duck.
I feel like it's just like...
Sleeping on your couch is for dead people.
It's exactly.
Well, this whole story is a lesson that I've already taught you all,
which is fresh airs for dead people.
Closed your window.
Like, close your damn windows because he was just coming into these houses.
So, Vincent was asleep on the house.
On the house?
He was on top of the house.
You know, you know?
It's comfy.
Sometimes it's nice.
You can't sleep on your house.
Just try it on the house.
He was on the couch.
He was on the couch.
Couch.
So these kids are messing me up.
Yeah, for real.
Richard walked right up to him and shot him in the head as he slept.
Oh my God.
Boom.
Dead.
Maxine was sleeping upstairs in the bedroom.
We're in the gunshots.
And she immediately was like,
what the fuck?
So she grabbed Vincent's shotgun.
Hell yeah.
And she was like, I'm going to fuck this.
guy up, which this all could have ended in this moment, which is very devastating.
Tell me what happened.
So she grabs the shotgun, she walks, she fucking has it out, and Richard comes up, and she goes,
ch-ch-ch-ch-click.
It was empty?
It was empty.
Oh, my God.
You want to know what's even worse?
No.
It was empty because Vincent had taken the bullets out a couple days earlier because their grandchildren
had visited and he wanted to be a safe, carrying grandfather, and not have bullets in his gun
for his children and grandchildren to find.
Why didn't he tell her?
So he literally was being a good grandfather and removed the bullets from the gun.
And so she, if she had done that, boom.
Richard Ramirez would be done.
This would be the end of it.
I fucking hate that.
It's, can you imagine, like, do you know that feeling when your stomach's going to fall out your butt?
Oh, my God. Like, when she did the, like, and it just went, quick.
You just know that you're going to die.
imagine, I'd be like, what the actual fuck?
Unfortunately, Richard had bullets in his gun, and he shot her three times in the chest.
Oh, my God.
Luckily, I guess, she died pretty instantly.
Yeah, no, you wouldn't want to suffer.
But then Richard got, like, theatrical.
Oh, God.
He gouged her eyes out of her head.
He literally scooped them right out.
He stabbed her left breast, like, very intensely.
like they said it was like a T-shaped ripping wound.
Oh.
He cut her face all up.
He cut her pubic region all up, her stomach, and her neck.
He then put her eyes in a jewelry box and took them home with him.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
Well, luckily, because this did help later.
It didn't help at the time, but later, I guess this was a good thing.
He left his ACDC hat at the scene because he's a fucking dumb ass.
Wow.
Which he was probably really mad about it, but.
Oh, yeah.
Like, think about it.
You leave your favorite band.
It's like the scene of Mean Girls for him,
I want my pink shirt back.
I want my pink shirt back.
I want my ACGC head back.
He's like yelling it in prison.
He's like driving by the house,
yelling out a window.
God.
So he, now this is,
this is kind of synonymous with him.
Like, it's a very infamous part of this case.
He also left a sneaker print
at this scene.
Oh, yeah.
and, which is not always great evidence, but in this case,
they must be having, like, a sleepover or something.
I thought, like, an angry dad was in there, and I was like,
oh-oh.
Domestic assault is happening on the podcast.
I was like, guys, we might have a case unfolded right now.
Well, we'll be back next week.
We've got to figure the shit out.
So, yeah.
So, the sneaker print was the brand Avia, or Avia?
I think it's Avia.
Is it Avia?
I don't know.
It said both ways.
It's one of them.
I think it's a via, actually.
Okay.
I don't know.
Either way.
I think AIA sounds better.
It does.
But it might be a VIA.
It's a pretty specific brand, obviously.
Not floating around everywhere.
Like, probably tattoos.
And it ended up being that this specific shoe print was found at every scene.
So this is how they were able to connect all the scenes.
Part of how they were able to connect all the scenes, it's going to be like, whoa, this is one
fucking dude.
And they were probably like, what the fuck?
Well, for a while, they were like, this has to be multiple people.
Because there's just so many.
Because there's so many.
Now, May 14th, 1985, it was married couple Bill and Lillian Doy.
Now, Lillian was an invalid who was bound to a hospital bed.
I believe she had like cerebral pals.
Now, they slept in separate bedrooms because of this because she had to be in a hospital bed.
Uh-huh.
So Richard broke into their house and immediately shot Bill.
in the face. Oh my god. Bill didn't immediately die. Holy shit. So Richard beat him unconscious.
Then he found Lillian sleeping in her fucking hospital bed in a separate room. He bound her with
thumb cuffs. No, she was already fucking bound. And then he raped her, an invalid. Like,
what the fuck is wrong with you even do anything about it? And he knows that she's in a fucking hospital
bit. Now, Bill woke up. Holy shit. He's been shot in the face and beat unconscious and he just woke up
saw what was happening, obviously couldn't fight back.
So he crawled to the phone and dialed 911 to get somebody there for his wife.
No way.
Then he fell back into unconsciousness.
Richard heard this happening and he split because he knew police were coming.
So Lillian survived and Bill ended up passing away.
Oh no!
But the cops said she only survived because he, like his heroic effort of crawling to the phone and calling the police.
I wish he could have lived.
I know. It's awful. Now, I can't imagine, oh, that like stresses me out because I wouldn't even
want to live. Right. I know. I don't know how you go off. Without your significant other.
And all that trauma is like, oh. Now I'm going to, I think we'll end on this next one.
And this next one is possibly the worst one. Great. So, there's way more after this, but this is a
really bad one. So hold on to your butts. I like when you say that makes me laugh.
May 29th.
So this was only a, like, a couple, like a week and a half after this last one.
So he's really, like, on a tear.
He went to the home of 83-year-old Mabel Mabel.
Legit?
Those people called her Mabel.
Fuck him.
And her friend who lived with her 81-year-old Florence Lange.
No, like literally go fuck yourself or Tric Ramirez.
He breaks into the house.
He sees a hammer on the counter.
No.
No.
He bludgeones Ma Bell, then he bludgeoning Florence.
He then returns to Ma Bell, and he's like, huh, she's still alive,
even though he, like, cracked her skull open, and she's an 83-year-old woman.
So he's like, hmm, what else can I do?
So he grabs a lamp, he rips the cord out, and he pulls the wires out of the cord,
and he just starts shocking her with the wires.
She was alive this whole time.
Nobody knows how long he did these, like tortured them, but he tortured them.
him. He then raped them both.
Ew, what the fuck?
Grabbed, he wasn't done,
he then grabbed a tube of Ma Bell's
lipstick and drew a pentagram on her inner thigh.
What? What a theatrical piece of shit.
After all that, he sat down,
he had a can of soda,
he ate two bananas,
he peed in their toilet, and didn't flush the toilet.
What a dick. It was just fucking rude.
He ate their bananas?
Now, yeah. He, like, ate the food just sat there,
hung out for a little bit.
Okay, Joe DeAngelo.
This is awful no matter what, but both of the women were alive still.
Well, he was just hanging out?
Yep.
They lived for three more days.
Oh, my God.
And it was three days later that a handyman found them still alive.
So they were just like laying there?
Yep.
Because they couldn't move or anything.
Because they were so...
Both of them had multiple skull fractures.
There was brain matter exposed.
I mean, it was bad.
How were they alive?
They both ended up dying.
from their injuries, but they survived for a few days.
That's almost worse.
So, yeah.
Great.
And we're not even...
More to come next week.
We're like halfway there, guys.
And we just said more to come last week.
Now, let me just give you a little bit of hope for the future here.
Because the way Richard Ramirez is caught, most satisfying...
It's like a parade almost.
Amazing.
Like, it's good.
Like, trust me, you're going to feel great at the end of it.

Should we take a request for the next week?
Yeah.
Let's take a request.
So people have given us a lot of requests.
So maybe I'll, I'm going to sift through and we'll go through and look and see which one we want to do next week.
Because maybe we'll hit like a less dramatic one.
Or a less dramatic one.
Maybe. I mean, they're all going to be pretty rough.
It's murder.
This one's like a different level, so we'll take it down a notch next week.
I'm excited.
And yeah, and we're going to be coming up with some bonus episode ideas.
Yeah, it's almost the first.
So we can give some bonus episodes to our Patreon donors.
I know the first is in like two weeks.
I know.
So I think we're going to try to do maybe like a fun horror movie review.
Yeah, yeah.
Which I think would be fun.
I think we should do like one of the fun nights.
horror movies. Oh yeah, we have to do a 90s one. From like my, my age group's heyday. And basically,
like, what you raised me on. I was going to say when I basically shoved down your throat,
we should do the craft even, well, that's not really a horror movie. But it's still great. It is a good
one. Fun fact, Delina showed me that movie when I was approximately like five to six years old when
you were babysitting me. Yeah, far too low. I was very young. Like, I would never show that to my
children. Yeah, you fucked me up. You were like Miguel. You were my Guinea. You were my
Miguel.
You showed me the ways of creeping.
I did not have Vietnamese.
Photos.
You know, snuff photos.
Nope.
Sure didn't.
Thank God.
But I'm sure, did I ever show you rotten.com?
No.
That wasn't something that you guys?
Oh, no.
This was like a right of passage of creepiness in my...
What is it?
In my age group.
Rotten.com.
Is it horrible?
It's pretty awful.
It's just all like pictures of dead people.
In, like, various accidents.
No, that's horrible.
It's pretty awful.
You can't show that to a kid.
Oh, fuck, no.
I would never show it to a kid.
But every single...
Oh, don't think...
Do that on American Horror Story?
Doesn't she...
Oh, no, she goes on, like, the dark web.
Oh, that's a very different...
I don't even know if I want to cover the dark web in any way, because...
Oh, I don't.
I mean, that's, like, a whole other...
That's, like, inviting weird shit to happen.
Well, not even that.
It's honestly, like, too much to talk about.
Yeah.
It's, like, has to do it.
like children and stuff.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
It's no where I want to be.
Nope. No. Rottin.com is more
like fucking, you're a sicko
and you just want to look at pictures
of somebody that got hit by a train.
Yeah, I don't want that.
It's like faces of death.
Those are like the same thing.
They're like videos of people
getting hit by a train or something.
No, that's horrible. I don't want to watch that. It's fucked up.
It's like what, but so many people used to look at that way.
I mean, there's like, whatever. Like do your thing.
It was like a morbid curiosity kind of thing.
Yeah, I don't.
Like, shout out to all my friends out there.
I have, like, a very small gauge of creepiness.
Yeah, mine is much more.
Like, I'm interested in true crime, and that's...
Yeah.
My net casts much wider.
Yeah, you, like, look at crime scene photos.
I never look at the crime scene photos ever.
Well, I think it's all, like, I always wanted to do autopsies, so I think I was just repairing myself for not being shocked.
Yeah.
I like glamour.
And look at me, I'm not shocked.
I used to watch America's Next Top Model.
That was like my mom.
That was a great show.
It fucking was a great show.
Like, I'll get on board with that.
