H-O-T-D-O-G
One nine hundred
That night trade power
In the night
It's not the size of the doll
But how hard you can fight it
You will survive
Or maybe not
When you're in the dark zone
You gotta give it everything you have
One nine hundred
D-O-H-O-T
Oh yeah
Nights
It just keeps him going
Joining us today is the housewife
Who loves this murder shit
It's Jason Parjan
As we transition into hard journalism
Which was a decision that was made
With some heaviness of heart
That there would be no more jokes
Because in this world
That's not what the world needs
Like that's just a lesson in people's time
Making a bunch of, saying a bunch of stupid stuff
Well we are America's last comedy website
Someday that's gonna stop
And then there won't be anymore
So this is, you know, this is the future
I would love to pivot to NFTs
Just float that idea here while we're all talking
Tracks murder NFTs
Like we could take facts of an actual murder
Turn them into NFTs
And then go straight to hell
I'm gonna Google murder NFTs
I have some faith in humanity
But it's about
Let's hold on to that
Okay, we'll cut all this Jamie
Because this is a million dollar idea
This is a twelve hundred, this is a seventeen sense idea
Very quickly, here is where I would normally plug the book
That I plug every week and every podcast I'm on
Because the subject matter of this episode is serious
And involves a death
I'm not, the book is called
If this book exists, you're in the wrong universe
It comes out in October
I'm not going to plug it in this episode
Because that would be literally trying to sell a dumb novel
On the back of this tragedy
That's frankly a tragedy
And every book comes with a free murder NFT
Like an actual piece of bone from the investigation
A digital memorabilia of a human bone
Are we gonna have to cut the intro?
We might, we might have to cut all of this
Let's do a recap on tracks and what we're talking about
Hold on, let me introduce the theme
Explain that we're part two
This is part two of the track's murder
And we are saying T-R-A-X-X
Which is a largely forgotten 80s action movie
Started in Shadow Stevens
If you've not listened to that episode
This is part two of our investigation
Into the murder of beloved track screenwriter Gary DeVore
As Jason said, if you missed part one
We'll get you back up to speed
Listen to part one, it's a podcast
It doesn't go bad, just go back and click that
Now, if you need to know what the movie tracks
T-R-A-X-X is about
We do have a summary for you
Oh yeah, let me hit the theme song here
You know what I think of your cookies?
That's what I think of your cookies
That was not the right button
Double way
I'll hit the theme song
No, I think that's everything they need to know
Oh, shit, that's cool
That's cool, we had it in Spanish
This is the real one
I'm done fucking around
Let's just listen, it recaps all the tracks
The quality is exactly what it deserves
Did they cut the Z out of size?
So it would rhyme with my?
Because that's kind of genius
I like that all of this is just
All the things you don't interact with tracks about
At this point, it's just words that rhyme with
Tracks
Like facts?
Yeah, like facts, get the facts
He's like, is everyone here to have the facts?
Did you get my facts?
With Robosaurus Attacks!
The disproportionate amount of criminals in this movie
Are blacks
Hey, they are
It's true
I didn't write it
Priscilla Barnes said clearly though
That he kills one of every minority
So, and I quote, no single minority can bitch about
Right, but if you kill one of every minority
And then also like 15 of one particular minority
I still think that's bad
I don't disagree
I'm just saying what Priscilla Barnes said
In the hit film tracks
That's true
I do want to believe her
Get in a jail card
We kill the white
We murdered that Samoan
We're in the clear
That the man who wrote this film
Is now tragically dead
Do we really want to disparage
The work that he's remembered for?
Yes
I think our next
That's kind of the entire premise
You said that he was murdered
Now, the entire reason this is such a fascinating mystery
Is we don't know that for sure, right?
No, we don't know that for sure
However, there is some compelling evidence
Especially if I talk like this
Last time, we left you with a stunning revelation
That in this supposed tragic traffic accident
Both of Gary DeVore's hands were missing
Now, the implication was
We'd start talking about that immediately
Next time, this episode
Giving you the answer you've waited a week for
But we're not doing that
What a twist
We're going to talk about that at the end of this podcast
To manipulate you into listening
Even if the answer is disappointing
Meanwhile, you know what's worse than losing your hands
In a mysterious traffic accident
Shopping for a mattress
But thanks to this week's sponsor, Mattress Crate
You can get a new mattress in the mail every month
Just enter offer code, Handless
I got a human hand in mine
Mattresscrate.com for 13% off
Order four mattresses, you'll get a whole human torso
And help stop the crime
Did you check to see if Mattress Crate
Had a real business? I know it sounds ridiculous
It has to be
It's got to be real
We got to completely stop the podcast while I
Google murder NFTs, too
See if that's taken
This site cannot be reached
That is an unused domain
Any of us could buy Mattresscrate.com
Two business ideas
10 minutes into the podcast
This is paying off
This is why we're pivoting away from comedy
Right into true crime
The natural progression
So, Gary DeVore was working on a script
That would change the very nature of Hollywood
And the fact that that script is missing
From that accident
Changes the very nature of this case
Whoa, right? You see what I did with the
Repeating the line there? It's pretty cool
You're saying he was murdered for the script
I'm not saying that, but
You're saying this script became the last Boy Scout
Maybe, I still think it's tracks, too
And I have some compelling evidence for that
I want it to be
That's my compelling evidence
Now, I'm not saying that he was murdered for this script
However, his friend and director, John Irvin
The director of such films as
Motherfucking Raw Deal
Wow
Yeah, as he says in his
Very stagy accent, which I will do
To add prestige to this podcast
Gary was troubled before the crash
He was having trouble with a script he was writing
He was speaking more as a journalist
Than a screenwriter
He seemed worried about what he found
What did he find? What could he have found?
That takes me back to the movie you made, Motherfucking Raw Deal
Well, I'd faked my own death
To trick my wife and the drug dealers
Not the voice you expect from the guy that did Raw Deal
And now, his widow, Wendy DeVore
Said this, which I will also do as John Irvin
He had been very disturbed
Over some of the things that he had been finding
In his research
He was researching the United States invasion of Panama
Because he was setting the actual story
That he was writing against this
And the overthrow of Noriega
And the enormous amounts of money laundering
And the Panamanian banks
Also, our own government's money laundering
He was disturbed by a lot of things he discovered
Including the weaponry we used
The way we dealt with Panama
The way we weren't trading them
And that again, that was his
Banana Republics
I'm not saying that I wasn't paying attention
When you were going through those quotes, Brockway
But Sean, how difficult would it be for Jamie
To record a version of the track's theme song
Where she's inserting two after every time they say tracks
So that it's the theme for tracks two
That never got made
She is open to a lot of very strange requests
Get the facts
I wonder how difficult it would be
To re-record the entire song to be about this murder
She did that once before
She remade that Bruce Willis song I wrote
Yeah, let's not put that on her
Let's not put that kind of evil on her
I think she deserves better
We're taking that down with us
Now, it's important what the script was about
So nobody has the final version
But the first early draft of the script was leaked
And it tells the story
Of American operatives in Panama
Who are robbing a bank
But it's really just a cover-up
For something bigger
Something more sinister
And DeVore did a ton of research on this
And he was sure that
General Manuel Noriega
Had used sort of his
Like a honey trap to compile
Sex tapes of top-ranking U.S. officials
In his home, co-boarding with alcohol drugs
Beautiful men, beautiful women
Often underage
And covertly filming their antics
For blackmail purposes
And you might recognize that as the exact same
Conspiracy theory
That every lunatic believes about everything
Yeah, we had to hear about that
Stupid p-tape conspiracy for what
I have pretty sure there's some pizza places
We're not getting into that
Documentary
It just makes a common sense
That you could honeypot someone in
And film them covertly
It just seems like such an easy thing to do
And think of all the sexual mistakes
We've all made in our lives
And how easy that was
For all of us to fall into
Without the power of government behind it
Like if someone just sent a whole bunch of hot girls
At you like for the entire week
Like you'd fuck one of them
I think that's a reality show
Yeah, you're right
For listeners who just only are listening
To these two episodes
And this is your first exposure to the dog zone
And you only came for the true crime
Like if you're a true crime enthusiast housewife
What if that happens?
There's a dynamic where sometimes
The subject of sex comes up
Sean will throw out an example of what he believes
Is common for everyone
In their lives
You could stand by every sexual decision you've ever made
Is what you're saying
But that in reality is more
Is more specific to him
And that he just assumes that we've all lived the same
We've all lived the same life
So I'm just saying that
If that comes up in the rest
Later in the episode
I just want that understood
If people throw out a suggestion
Then none of us will chime in to like
Yeah, that's right
When enough hot women throw themselves at you
You eventually are going to succumb
That's just what's going to happen
Reminds me of 5th grade
I don't think Sean is always
Unreasonable with his sexual escapades
I do think
I don't have
Like a panty trophy case
To remove all of my sexual escapades
So like there's a layer of
Relatability that just goes missing
I think towards the end
So if you could just like stop
Before the trophy case part
You have those Panamanian blackmail tapes
Which is like a real
Like a kind of a trophy case
That's like a panty trophy
Let's put it this way
Friends, again I realize most of you
Don't know anything about me personally
If I travel to a foreign country
Totally threw herself at me
Just like come on let's go
I would just laugh in her face
It's like okay what's the honeypot
Are you robbing me?
Like there would not be one second
Where I would think oh wow man this is great
She's really into me
I would just immediately ask her
Okay what's the scam
I don't have any information
Are you trying to steal a copy of my novel
Do you somehow know who I am
Are you
A deep
A deep conspiracy that you have in your own brain
Yeah
That's literally the only valuable thing
I'm traveling with
Throwing this woman through a fish tank
He's like ah you're onto your tricks
You'll never get my book
But anyway
I'm sorry I have derailed this right
To say that but
Yes it is worth saying
As far as conspiracy theories go
That there is like
Compromising material on
Donald Trump or whoever
Like having sex with underage sex workers
Whatever much easier to believe
Than
Almost any other conspiracy theory
Including some that turned out to be true
It's not like this is
This is like fake the moon landing
Level of conspiracy thinking
Hollower theory is pretty good
It all ends up when you think about it
How else do you explain the sounds
And the lizard people
Like have you ever tried to drum on the earth
You get a good sound out of it couldn't do that
Alright getting back on track
Checkmate God
Documentarian and possible lunatic
Dr. Matthew Alfred
Says that a former White House official
From the Reagan Bush era
Confirmed that DeVore himself
Worked with the CIA and visited
Central American countries often
Including Panama
Now Wendy backs this up
She believes that when
DeVore said he was going to scout locations
For a movie shoot he was really
Doing something related to the intelligence
Community
Now just days
After Gary's death
Wendy says that unidentified government
Agents who I guess
Are partially identified huh
They showed up at Gary's house
After he disappeared and deleted
Everything about the script from his computer
Then went through the house and pulled anything
That could tie them together
So the conspiracy here is that
The script was so
Like good
And powerful that it would have taken down
Like Noriega's
Now on the last episode he did say
That it was the hardest hitting script Hollywood
Would ever have seen
And he figured out something in his research
That he believed put him in danger
And early drafts of the script
Were about this honeypot scam
Where American officials
Went to general Noriega's
Home
And banged their way straight through it
From basement to attic
But to be clear
Instead of going to the New York Times
And saying hey I'm a screenwriter
But
In the process of researching a script
I actually stumbled across a legit
Like story of the century
I want to write this up
Instead he said
I want to do a screenplay
And then spend years trying to get it produced
And turn it to a movie
This is how I will deliver the story
To the people
Yes and also I'm the guy that wrote tracks
Tracks
Yeah and there's a real good chance
You don't have to tell me that sir
There's a real good chance that Shadow Stevens
Would be playing
I don't know who the
80s era
Noriega
Which in that era
They would not have thought twice about that
Oh no just give him a spray tan
Die his hair back
That's what it would sound like
That is exactly what it would sound like
Now as unlikely as it seems
There is some truth to this
Devoord provably did some work
Some kind of possibly consulting
Work or research
At Air Force Base Area 52
Which
If I understand military classification
Means that's one more
Secret than Area 51
The Area 52
Is that a joke
Or is that not a joke?
That's not a joke, that's an area
It's named 52
One better than 51
Now
Devoord also knew Chase Brandon
That's the man who headed up
CIA's Hollywood Affairs Office at the time
Mostly what they did
Was they assisted movie productions
With research
So they could have some
Measure of control over how the CIA
Was depicted in those movies
Now Chase Brandon
That's Tommy Lee Jones' cousin
Which I mentioned
Not because it's
Relevant to any part of this story
But because it's pretty weird right?
Yeah also wasn't Tommy Lee Jones
Al Gore's roommate in college
Tommy Lee Jones
Was up to some shit
That's coming together
Now let's do some more weird shit
Chase Brandon
What was his real name?
Clearly that's not
Why are you calling him Chase Brandon
That's not something a person does name
Real name
Area 53
Clone Alpha 4
His real name was Lee Tommy Jones
And he was just like Tommy Lee Jones
In a mustache
Double mustache sometimes
Chase Brandon actually
Went so far as to write one script
The recruit
Only his writing partner Roger Town
Is credited
But notes and emails from Brandon
Confirm he did much of the work
The recruit would later see script
Doctoring by none other
Than hot dog Kimbo Kurt Wimmer
Right?
Kurt Wimmer
The name doesn't ring a bell
Waiting for that to blow your minds
It's like
It's like Kurt Wimmer
Isn't important to anybody but me
But that can't be right
That's not the karate rap guy is it
No that's Sensei Dave Seeger
Kurt Wimmer
Is the writer of Equilibrium
And just a beautiful innocent man child
Who I've brought up
Several times on the podcast
And did exactly what I did here
Which is I wait for your mind to be blown
Who's that?
It's almost suspicious
There's some sort of a
Mind control attached to Kurt Wimmer
To help us not remember his name
Well there it might be
Because Chase Brandon
Would later go on to confirm
The existence of aliens
And Area 51
Now you thought I was fucking around
About Area 52
That's because I was but the alien thing's real
He went on
To say
And I quote
It was not a damn weather balloon
It was what it was built when people first reported it
It was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet
It crashed and I don't doubt for a second
That the use of the word remains in cadavers
Was exactly what people were talking about
One day I was looking around
And reading some of the titles
That were mostly hand scribbled summations
Of what was in some boxes
And there was one box that really caught my eye
It had a word on it
It had a box down
Lifted the lid up
Rummaged around inside it
Put the box back on the shelf
And said
My God
It really happened
He stuck his hand in some alien debris
And then put it back
And he didn't say like
That was all kinds of
All manner of space what's it's in
Dildos, star butt plugs
And then I put them all back
And it was a swimmer
Who?
Damn it
Now you're clearly tantalized
What was in that box and he says
Some written material
Some photographs
That's all I will ever say to anybody
About the contents of that box
At this point you're like
Hey I was in this place
I looked through all the secret documents
Aliens are real but I can't tell you anymore about that
You're like
You've done the thing that will get you assassinated right?
You're already like
Oh yeah I know all the secrets
It's like well they're not going to leave you alive
Based on your reluctance to tell people
They're just going to assume
Based on how coy you were about it
My imagination is very limited
Aliens are real and I found a box that proves it
But I never really thought up what was in it
So that's the secret part
I'm sure you believe me
There actually is a very good reason
He doesn't go into more detail
He will later write
A science fiction novel
Just one about alien cover-ups
So I guess he did have more to say about it
But it was fiction?
Yes build is science fiction
Although it is the man
Who says I have seen aliens personally
And know all about the cover-ups and then he writes a book about it
So I assume he's hoping
The press sells his book
Again for a very long time
This man was the sole
The head of the department
Almost solely responsible for the CIA's influence over Hollywood
Which was a real thing
They would control how they were depicted
In movies in exchange for access to resources
Sets equipment
All sorts of things
I'll joking aside
Do you listeners know that he's not joking about that
And that's not even like a conspiracy theory
No that's how it works
And not just with the CIA
But with the military
With the NASA, the Department of Defense
And that office in Hollywood
The reason Top Gun Maverick
Looks so good is because
They had access to real F-18s
From the military
And the reason they had that access
Is because they worked hand and glove with them
To make it like they
Literally get to approve the script
Yeah
Tell them who's put the glove box in that F-18
And found things from the stars
That he will not tell anyone about
The sole guy in charge of every single one
Has seen aliens personally
They don't want to talk about that
But it's true
Anyway, back to Gary DeVore
And his possibly alien
Government connections
Wendy says when she first moved in
With Gary, he warned her
To expect suspicious calls
At all hours of the night from the U.S.
Government
But he told her, don't worry about him
It'll be okay
So she didn't
They're here to treat the windows
But they're from the aliens
The calls would come
Infrequently at first
Just one or two over a few years
But there was a flurry of them right before he died
Now, did she hear those calls?
She doesn't say
Did she take Gary's word for it
That it was the CIA?
Probably
So what was going on? Was Gary okay?
No
He died in an
Unreduct
It sounds like Gary was the victim
Of a vast government conspiracy
But
Gary's ex-wife, Claudia Christian
Who you remember as Commander
Ivanova from Babylon 5
Which was like Star Trek but with worse haircuts
I don't
But I'll take your word for it
Oh, you're about to
Claudia Christian is hot dog as fuck
She starred in Arena
Which was Bloodsport with Aliens
It was an amazing movie but I would argue
Not as amazing as it should have been
For being Bloodsport with Aliens
It was like 80%
Not Bloodsport with Aliens
A perfect idea
60% execution
She was the lady in that
She was also in Maniac Cop 2
She was the doctor
From the barbarian brothers
Think big, that's our very next podcast
Did I plan it that way?
No, I'm not that smart
To the suspicious coincidences
It's going to be a big box
Okay, I'm sorry
I'm sorry to keep
Just talking directly to the listener
I know this is bad podcasting
You guys, just looking right in the camera
I've made it so that
They, Brock Way and Sean
Can't hear me, I'm just talking directly to you right now
My whole premise of being on this
Two-part true crime podcast episode
Was that the
Screenwriter behind this extremely corny movie
Tracks died under weird circumstances
That there was a whole conspiracy theory
Around it that never gets discussed
Like this is just Brock Way
Had spent months researching it
As I'm sitting here listening to it
There are far more weird
Connections to this website
Than anything else
Like the fact that this guy
His entire inner circle that was in on this
Whatever secret and this
Strange behavior, it's all like
Stuff that's been covered on this podcast
You have no idea
How deep we're about to get into that
Between this death and
1900 hot dog
Than any other single entity
I'm presenting this
When I did this research as the unified
Hot dog theory of everything
It's connected to every part of our site
And it may explain
Everything about ourselves as people
Yeah, at least explains these two human hands
I have in my office
They just came to you
From some ebay bid
On like a teddy book
Oh, two hands on Swarai
I thought they had a Librium guy left him here
What's his name? Caleb Swanson? Caleb Swimmer?
Nailed it, perfect
Claudia Christian implies that
Gary was kind of a conspiracy nut from the start
Now I'm going to pause
And wait for your shocked gasps
Very good
Now, even though he worked with the US government
He was very distrustful of anybody
Associated with the government in any way
Which leads me to think
He probably shouldn't have been working for them
This is actually
It's just called the Republican, I'm sorry
It's true, he gives big Republican vibes
Now, this is a perfect time
To pause and focus
On a different, no less important
Part of this conspiracy case
Gary DeVore
Fucks
Oh, yes
And what's more
Gary DeVore
Fucked his way through the entire
Back catalogue of 1900 hot dog
What?
He went out with season hubbly
Who you remember as the love interest
Of Robosaurus in Steel Justice
Now
In the Steel Justice podcast
Sean, I told you something, what did I tell you?
Oh my god, so much
You told me you loved me
But you really caveated that
It really made it to that point
Only if it's returned
Right
About season, I don't remember what you told me about season
I told you season hubbly, Fox, and I could prove it
And I just didn't
Of course, sure, yeah, yeah
Gary also went out with Patricia Barnes
The mayor from Trax who orgasms at the site of criminals
Not too bad for a Gary
He was married to Nat King Cole's widow
Which doesn't have anything to do with us
But it's kind of weird
He also dated Janet Jackson
Who he almost certainly called Mrs. Jackson
Because Gary DeVore
He was nasty
We should have all said that
At the same time
We basically timed
The joke completely differently
Because we're all pros
We are
That wasn't planned
That horribly
We timed nasty
I've heard that song
It was because there was only one way
For that sentence to end
Now, does that make all of these
Women suspects in the case?
Absolutely
Please keep them in mind going forward
It's entirely possible that Janet Jackson
Did this murder
It might implicate the entire rhythm nation
But first let's review
The last call
Gary DeVore made to his wife Wendy
Going missing
She finds it very unsettling
Here's how she says it went
Gary, was that you trying to call me, sweetie?
Wendy, who else would it be
At one o'clock in the morning?
Gary, suspicious silence
Wendy, where are you?
Gary, I'm past Barstow
Wendy, oh you'll be home
In three or four hours
Gary, something like that
Wendy, well, I'll tell you what
Gary, don't do that
Wendy, well
You know you'll want to take a shower
You've been driving a long time
We'll take a shower together
Gary, whatever
Wendy, are you
Wendy, are you tired or something?
Gary, no, I'm pumping pure adrenaline here
Now, Wendy says
He did not say he loved her before he hung up
Something he would always do
She further insists
That call was deleted from the phone records
Because there is no trace of it
We have spent a good amount of time
Arguably too much time
Establishing that Gary DeVore
Likes to fuck
I ask you, does that transcript
Sound like a man who fucks?
Oh, absolutely not
Even if you didn't like her
You'd be like, ooh, shower, hey
You know what, his response was
Hurtful almost
Whatever
Whatever is the offer to shower together
Whatever
That man, whoever that man was on the phone
He did not like to fuck
It could not have been Gary DeVore
Couldn't have been him
Now, let's jump back to the missing script that would change the world
It was set against
The backdrop of secret pedophilia rings
In 1980s Panama
And it was almost definitely going to star
Shadow Stevens, as Jason says
Uh, it was also
A remake of a 1949 movie
Called The Big Steel
Now, that's a movie about a man
Who sets up his own mysterious disappearance
Gary's publicist, Michael Sands
Believes Gary may have been
Too into the headspace of his own main character
That's what he said in an early interview
He floated the theory
That Gary DeVore lost the line between
Reality and fiction
But he changed his story
In a later documentary
The Writer With No Hands
A documentary by possible lunatic
Dr. Matthew Alfred
In that documentary, Michael
Sands comes across dodgy and invasive
In his one
On-camera interview
He has like an agenda
He mostly just kind of looks through
Alfred's research
Then he gets an idea and he runs
In the back room to bring out his own folder
Can you guess what's inside?
You can't, but try
We're both going to say
It's a pair of severed hands
Yeah, he's got hands in the folder
An excellent guess
And that would be the case over
No, it's full of headshots
From the time he was a model
Oh, beautiful
For the government
A government model
That's what he said
I'm sorry, just very, very quickly
What's the name of this documentary again
The Writer With No Hands
And that's not a joke you made up
Because when you said that
I thought you were making a joke
No, it's the name of a book
It's the name of two movies they tried
Making about this
I've read and seen both
It might be a joke
But I don't know that they realize that
It's at least wordplay
They're trying to be clever
But in it
God, this is so fucked up
And no one knows about this
Except you
I might be the only person who has ever watched any of it
Yes
They made a book and two movies about it
Yes
The documentaries
In part deal with
This case and the weird inconsistencies
Of it
But a lot of the focus is also
On what a netbag
Matthew Ulford is for caring
So much about this
For me, I feel a lot for him
I understand where he's coming from
And maybe the only one
I love you
You are, Liz
Well, because just to level
With everyone here
The guy did die in a strange
In a weird way
And there's weirdness around how he died
So that part is true
So then you're surrounded with all these people
Who either are motivated
To make his
Sound much bigger than it was
Or
There's some
I don't know he himself was paranoid
And actually did think the conspiracy was real
And that caused him to
There's something weird
About it one way or the other
It's just that
You have some people who insist
It's UFOs or whatever
It might be
We've introduced the possibility of UFOs
Now, let's jump back
To Michael Sands
Model for the government
I don't know what that means
They just looked like happy headshots
But he insisted he traveled the world
Modeling for the government
He's just like shirtless in a tank
Just popping out the top
I guess so
He holds up to one hunk
Trying to sell it to housewives
Maybe
Anyway, Dr. Matthew Ulford leaves that interview
Confused and unhappy as we all would
But at the end
Just as he gets in the elevator
Sands calls him back to talk quickly off camera
And says he will help
He knows what's going on
Can't talk now, but he's going to have answers
In three weeks
Two weeks later
He would be dead
Choked to death
In a grocery store
On a free deli sample
Of mystery meat
Mystery meat?
He got a free sample
Of mystery meat
Did the kid
Doing the samples get fired?
It seems like you can't be worse at your job
Than handing out samples and killing a customer
Who? Brandon Chase?
Did Brandon Chase get fired?
The man handing out the...
No, that was not...
Tommy Lee Jones
Was there an autopsy?
Did they verify that this was just
An ordinary grocery store choking?
Or was there something in the mystery meat?
They did not
Do any further research into that
That I could see
It's hard to turn up things about this
And because it's hard, I don't want to do it
So I didn't
But everybody seems to agree
That that's just what happened
All the obituaries and news reports say
He choked to death in a grocery store
All these fucking alien freaks
Decided that choking to death on mystery meat
In a grocery store is a normal thing to do
Well, the actual newspapers decided that
I don't know what the alien freaks decided to do
They found it very suspicious
If you've had free samples at a grocery store
They're never giving you a full
Kilbasa
It's like a little thing with a toothpick
It's a little hunk of a
Tukito or something
Could it be
That he horked the toothpick?
Well, again, I'm going to say
You have to be very bad at eating food
To die that way
Like, you would be laying on the floor
Thinking
Is this really how I'm going to die?
You'd be so crazy, man
After everything I've survived
In my life, after all of my
After the adventurous
The sexual lifestyle I've lived
All these years, is this really going to be
The thing that takes
Me down?
My experiences as a government model around the world
Did not prepare me
To choke down some mystery meat
I don't want to be irreverent
When speaking about the dead, but is it possible
He wrapped the mystery meat around his neck
While he was masturbating and this is like
The spin on that story?
Well, he did go very publicly
He died right there in the deli
So a lot of people saw it
So yes, the answer is yes
None of them thought to like
Pull the food out of his throat
They just watched a man die
On free meat
Maybe he thought the meat really sucked
This guy is such a drama queen
Look at him
Turning blue
Sans's death
Was a huge setback to the case
But the trail did not go cold
For possible lunatic, Dr. Matthew Alford
He still had a man named Frank Thorwald
A former government official
With the highest possible
Level of security clearance
Now, he looked into this case
At the time and found
Nothing
But years later
He became seriously ill
And Dr. Matthew Al-
I'm sorry, possible lunatic
Dr. Matthew Alford
Was hopeful that because of the diagnosis
He was ready to get something off of his chest
And he was
Frank tells the story of the time he called the CIA
And spoke to somebody
About Gary's disappearance
And how the man said
I can't help you
He said
This all lines up
A great story for Frank Thorwald
To tell
But at the very end, something strange happened
The man on the phone told Frank
To go look at a sweet website
He found
Now, Frank
Always looking for sweet new websites
Visited it
And found it was a porn site
The kind of site that
In his words
Seems like there could have been
But I did not see
Child pornography on it
He goes on to explain
I have a question
So what does that mean
Like you go on a porn site
And it's just so badly made
You're like, man, I bet if I click something wrong there's kids
Are there pictures of kids with clothes on
And it's like, hey, welcome to the site
How did you find this
I've been to a lot of websites
I've never once in my entire life
All the dark things I've seen on the internet
I bet somewhere on this website
There's child pornography
It means
This is what a person would say
If they saw child pornography on their computer
And knew that just having that on their computer
Was a crime
So they would say
Well, I went to the part of this child porn site
That did not have any child porn on it
But I could sniff
That there was some nearby
But I did not look at it
It never appeared in my browser cache
Which would be illegal
I just wanted to pretend his lie was real
To demonstrate how ridiculous it was
We all know what this guy did
And his cover story
Is still alive
To sue us
If so, we're not claiming to know anything
He went to a child porn website
I'll claim it
Or
Another possibility
I can't remember all these names
Frank Thorwald
Now, he explains that it's a standard tactic
Once you have child porn on your computer
You're a pedophile
It's a way to get leverage on people
So this man casually tossed out
Hey, here's some leverage on you
And Frank, expert level
The highest possible security clearance
I was like
Hey, sweet, I'll check out that website
You just thought he found a top secret bro
Trying to share a nice bang
And now found himself
Compromise
Or, as Jason's theory, maybe
He just went to a bad website and was like
This is my chance to explain that
In case somebody checks my history
This is actually a real thing
I have a lot of dark books
That I don't usually write about
Anarchist cookbooks, sort of type books
Where it's like, here's how you make a bomb
Here's how you destroy a person
How to trick your enemies
Into getting
Illicit materials on their
Computer that you can get arrested for
So
It's a pretty standard tactic to destroy your enemy
To get child pornography onto their computer
Yeah, and that's what he says
The guy told him to go to Compromat.com
And he was like, Compromat
Is that C or K?
Compromat.com
Oh, no!
My top secret clearance
Hey
Now that we're done making fun of this dead man
A possible lunatic
Dr. Matthew Alfred's sources
Were being
Discredited or disappearing left and right
It seemed like he was getting closer to a smoking gun
Close to the truth
And yet eagle-eared listeners
May have noticed I always preface
His name with the phrase possible lunatic
That's because Dr. Matthew Alfred
It's possibly a lunatic
The writer with no hands
Or that
Now the writer with no hands
The documentary he spent years in a fortune making
It cost him his marriage
It cost him his job and his whole life
And it ends with him
Dressed in a clown costume
In which he heavily implies
That the CIA threatened him into wearing it
So that he could fully discredit himself
And the entire movie
The last shot of that movie
Is of possible lunatic
Dr. Matthew Alfred
Juggling in full clown regalia
In front of a fake castle
What the fuck
How is this not the most popular movie
That's ever been?
It's gonna be
It's stupid all the way down
Stupid eating its own tail
The stupid cannot hold
The stupid falls apart
It's the perfect mystery for the screenwriter of tracks
The perfect stupid movie
But there's something
How many potentially
Crazy people have we heard from
So far?
Where the things they say are either
Implausible or extremely
Like conspiracy type
How many separate conspiracy
Weirdos have we encountered
So far in the story?
All of them
Every name mentioned so far
Tommy Lee Jones is grosser
Who killed that guy with a meat
Yes, even the normal ones
Have veered off to mention their
Compromised child porn sites
And their alien abductions
Yeah, that's because every time you introduce
Somebody within a couple of paragraphs
You were talking about how
Well, then they started ranting about
Like you're almost telling the story
Of like a contagion
Of madness that spread through the social circle
The specific social circle of the content
Of 1900 hot dog
Yes, there's some sort of mental virus
That has spread through everybody involved
In creating it
Doesn't surprise me at all
There's something else to this case
Something I mentioned at the end of the first podcast
To pique your interest
And then explained how I wasn't going to mention it again
Until right now as a cheap trick
To keep you fully invested
When Gary DeVore was found a full year later
In a spot that had already been
Searched by a man
With a near psychic premonition
Of the crash
When he was finally found
As if specifically to end a search
That was not being dropped
Gary DeVore was missing
Both hands
What a cliffhanger to end on
Oh wait, you already knew about the hand thing
Sorry, we'll keep going
Do you know why he was missing both hands?
He had no
Go ahead and guess, he won't get it
Okay
Maybe that guy
That was doing modeling for the government
Wanted to do hand modeling
But had ugly hands
And he said Gary DeVore, those hands are beautiful hands
He took them
Also, hands where you keep your fingerprints
Maybe it was just as simple as that
They just didn't want anyone to identify the body
Because it's not Gary DeVore
And it was a fake corpse
Placed there to
Let Gary DeVore
Go back to Panama
To
Do a sexual heist
Now you get partial credit
Gary's pinky had been broken
And never healed
A uniquely identifying deformity
That's why they think
They took his hands
The sheriff's office did find
Quote unquote, some hand bones
In the water
I don't know why that makes me laugh
But it always does
The number of hand bones varies
And when dated, some were found
To be over 200 years old
Was
Gary a hand
Highlander?
I thought you were gonna
Stuck
On murder
He stuck his hands into a time portal
That's another possibility
The rest of his body stayed in the present
But his hands were zapped 200 years
Into the past
By Tommy Lee Jones' cousin
An alien
Now, he could have been
An ancient being
Who could only be killed by cutting off his hands
And absorbing the wrist quickening
It's just as likely as anything else
But there's an even likelier option
No matter how unlikely it might seem
Let's look
At Gary's filmography
Certainly his most successful credit
Is Raw Deal
Movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger
On the mafia
By faking his own death
Because all things are hot dog
Tom Reiman already wrote
About how he does that
By exploding an entire fuel depot
Faking his own death in literally the most
High profile and ridiculous way possible
Guaranteed to make national news
A stupid, hilarious way
To do something as secretive
As faking your own death
Does that sound familiar?
It does sound
Like someone choking to death on a mystery
Meet
In an explosive way
Conversationally
Similar
Stop everything, you gotta hear this
Right
If you want to disappear forever
You just guaranteed you got your
Face put on the news for the next
Two weeks at least
By making just one hell of a story
It's just exactly what
Gary DeVore would have done with this
He was on
America's Most Wanted
They're doing crazy
Documentaries, it would be the worst idea
But, how about this
Faking a high profile
Death was also a pivotal plot point
In his remake of The Big Steel
And here's some other
Gary DeVore movies
The Relic
That's the one where Tom Sizemore fights
An Aztec god beast
And it rules
Where Van Damme fights
Where Van Damme fights
An entire hockey game
He fights a woman in a penguin costume
In that movie and slowly
Beats the shit out of her to death
That's Gary DeVore
That's more unpleasant
Than winding up handless
In a watery grave
Now slowly murdering a woman in a penguin costume
That's a stupid battle
Much like a lone screenwriter taking on the US government
He also did
Rewrites on
He also did rewrites on
Passenger 57
Did Gary DeVore write the best
Line in movie history?
Always bet on black?
It's impossible to know since I didn't check
But yes, where is
They left to go after writing that line
But down, it's the kind of line
You'd be tempted to fake your own death
Just to escape his shadow
That had to have been a Wesley Snipes ad-lib
Like when Blade goes
Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate a pill
You're like, what, Blade would never say that
Wesley
Yeah, but
Keep it in the book
Some background, that line about the ice skating
Not to take us off the tracks here
But the line about ice skating
That was not a line that Wesley Snipes came up with
For the movie Blade
That was a thing he frequently said
In conversation
And screenwriter David Goyer
Overheard him say it so he put it in the movie
Okay, that's the exact same
Story behind always bet on black
In passenger 57
That's gotta be, that has to be
Gary DeVore overheard him say
Just constantly saying always bet on black
Like at the craft surface of this table
Because otherwise
A white screenwriter writing that
For your black
Protagonist is almost
Almost a hate crime
And then you go to the setup for it
It's so clumsy, he's like, hey, do you play roulette
He's like talking to the dude on the airplane phone
And he's like
On occasion, like he can't sense that he's being
Set up for some awesome line, he's like
Now they mentioned that he should have enjoyed roulette
Let's see where it's going, could be fun
Yeah
It's so shoehorned in
Another also always betting on black
Not a solid strategy for roulette
Right?
He's like, I don't get it
Well, because I'm black, oh, see
You're not here, I don't really think about
People in terms of things like that
So always bet on black
You're saying you're gonna lose eventually
Is that
50-50 shot of winning this movie
Am I thinking too much about it
Another uncredited
Davor rewrite
Time cop, he did
Uncredited rewrites on time cop
He does his heroism anonymously
Almost like he doesn't want to be seen
Doesn't want to be found
And then
Speaking of 1900 hot dog links
Is it gonna sound made up, but my daughter's
Middle name is actually time cop
My God
Do you see how deep this goes?
It's not, the government has that on a
On a fucking social security guard
Government has that
Very briefly, Sean
I'm sure you've brought this up on the podcast before
Have there been any difficulties
When you have to communicate with
Officials and like school registration
People or whatever
Preschool or whoever
Whatever bureaucracies you have to talk to
Do they get confused
By the middle name
I think people just assume I'm awesome
I think they just like see the middle name
And they're like, yeah, that makes sense
Excuse me sir, do you kick ass?
Totally kick ass
It's all adds up, yes
They just think we're doing a bit still
They do not realize her middle name is actually
Time cop
Has anybody tried to
Between our website and this murder mystery
Teemo copay
Teemo cop
They'd be so scared
By saying time cop
They understood the most offensive thing possible
That's the one thing it can't be
Is that like a Nez purse name?
No, it's from the fucking HitFilm time cop
And then finally
There's Showdown Little Tokyo with Dolph Lundgren
And Brandon Lee
I was going to say the line
I know you're going to say it
No, you say the line
You have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man
That's the movie with the line
You have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man
Now that's also the movie
About Dolph Lundgren being
A super weave
Who impales a Yakuza
Like a mandart to hit a bullseye
On a firework wheel
Which lights up, spinning him
Ever faster and faster as he dies
Screaming in an explosion of fireworks
For like about three minutes
What do all of these movies
Have in common?
They kick ass, just like faking your own death
You're right, it all
Is linked together
Through the lens of kick ass
I do know there's another possibility
Maybe I'm too close to this
Maybe I've been working
On this joke premise
For over a year
Since episode 12 of The Dog Zone 9000
When David Bell mentioned the murder
Just in passing
And I joked we should do a mystery solving series
Called Hot Dog Nights
Maybe that's me, maybe I seeded
Gary DeVore properties throughout the site
Just to make the connections in this case seem weirder
Maybe I named Sean's kid
Now, more unlikely
Shit
Maybe you're Tommy Lee Jones
Maybe I'm Brandon
Chase Brandon
Chase Brandon
Alien CIA operative
Now, maybe I commissioned
The Hot Dog Nights theme song months ago
For seemingly no reason
Badass song and we rarely use it
All for this
Maybe this is just trying to justify
My crippling theme song addiction
It's real and crippling
But
Maybe I found it
The unifying theory of Hot Dog
The one thread that links everything we're all about
Time cop, tracks, raw deal
Hollywood himbo
Cartweimer
Court Billy
Steel Justice
The Rhythm Nation
Think big, Robosaurus is season
Hubbly
John Irvin, remember that guy
With his stodgy accent
That lent prestige to this podcast
Yes, of course
He also directed The Running Man
Holy shit
It's all here, this is it
Gary DeVore set Hot Dog in motion 40 years ago
And he left behind all the clues
To solving the mystery of his disappearance
Hidden in goofy movies
Nobody would take seriously
Except for comedians
Possible lunatic
Dr. Matthew Alford
He was trying to tell us
Look to the clowns
Maybe
Maybe the cookie vigilante movie track
So integral to our Hot Dog community
Is actually a stepping stone
Into a vast conspiracy
Of governmental media control
One full of unjust wars, pedophilia and murder
A conspiracy whose truths
Could unravel the entire fabric
Of western society
Maybe that's it
But even if it's not
Isn't there some value
In thinking critically about police cold cases
Even if they have nothing to do with you
Isn't it acceptable
Maybe even beneficial to society
Maybe even heroic
To use real tragedies
For entertainment podcasts
Isn't it worthwhile to ask these questions
Purely for the sake of questioning
To get your brain grappling
With the details of an obscure potential murder
Much like Jake the Snake Roberts
Might grapple with an obscure potential murderer
Isn't it worth it to consider for just a few hours
That the truth might be something far more complex
And sinister than it seems
The answer to all these questions
Is no
I'm sorry, I wasn't really going anywhere with this
