Yeah, he's gonna call it.

He's sitting on your head. A cutie pie. Hmm, Greg, my eyes are up here, please. My eyes are down here, still looking at my hair. Yeah. So this is a show, it's called Do Do Go On. And on it, we rotate between the three of us, Jess, Perkins, Dave, Warnaki.

Close enough. And me, Matt. Warneki. Oh, Warneki. Thank you. And me, Matt, Stuart. And what's this on the... What we're doing here is one of us researchers a topic through the week, and usually being

suggested by a listener. And then we bring that report in and tell the other two all about it. This week, Jess Perkins is doing that report. We don't know what the topic is, Dave and I, but Jess is gonna get us on the topic with a question. Jess, what is this week's question? This week's question is,

who was also known by the following nicknames? Oh, multiple. Okay, I know nicknames. That's one of my strong suits. The juggernaut. Okay, that know Nickmams, that's one of my strong suits. The juggernaut. Okay, that's Gary Gregg. Mike the durable. Okay. I and Mike. Mike Tyson? Or Irish Rasputin. Okay. Mike Tyson? Michael Collins? I don't know if this is one you would have heard of. Uh, Michael, so it's an Irish Michael. It is a Michael.

I'll give you that. I'm out from all my, it's a bono. It's not funny. It's not, it's not, Michael flatly, I would. Have you heard of Michael Maloy? No, it's not. It's not Michael flatly, I would. Have you heard of Michael Maloy?

No, it's not Michael Maloy. I've heard of. Often, this is Maloy. Oh, Maloy. He's often referred to as the man who wouldn't die. Or the Irish recipe. Yeah. Oh, Iron Mike. Does the old man know that? He's often referred to as the man who wouldn't die Oh the Irish rest put yeah, oh iron Mike All the man who wouldn't die bad is such a bad ass meat now. It's great. I wonder where I get the rest but you think I wonder if it's because he's got a magic dick The speed never magic that's all I remember we talked about it on episode 100 so long ago though

Remember when we talked about it on episode 100? That was so long ago though. We were all so good about this dick. It was a magic dick and then apparently people when he died kept it in the jar. Oh. If you get it in you're cured. Yeah, I imagine that he would say. Of what? As I and Mike eat and rest, he didn't do.

Look, I will not confirm nor deny. The man who wouldn't die. I want you to still alive. It will not confirm nor deny the man who wouldn't die. I want you to still alive It's here the first. Yeah, what does that make you a To dick in If you put a Spoon's dick in there Anyway, that looked like there was something there Not all instincts are good and that's okay. I'm here to prove that

This has been suggested a few times in the hat, which you can, like, there'll be a link in this episode's description, or you can go to our website if you want to put in a suggestion anytime. Anyone can do it. Well, these people did. Owen Fitzpatrick, and Nittish Bat, Jeremiah Bang, amazing. Nittish Bat. Nittish Bat, you skipped over Nittish bat. Nittish bat you skipped over nittish bat.

Nittish bat is so good. Jeremiah. Where we've spoken to nittish before? Jeremiah bang bang bang. Bang. And also by Macio too. Wow so it's relatively, are they a large? I know Owen is and I'm sorry if it's.

Owen sounded very honest. It's E-N, which can either be like Owen or like Ian. Okay. So Owen slash Ian. But we definitely know the pronunciation of Nizzis Bat. Yeah. What's his sentence? Yeah, true. So, you know, take one for the team Owen.

Thank you. Owen, Ian or Ion. Oh, Ion. Ian Zering. The year. Actually Owen Mike. What? No. Instead of Ion.

He's Irish. Can I just start? Bit of wordplay to everyone. Don't worry. We'll warm up. Can you edit all that stuff out? Yes, please. I make it look bad.

Absolutely not. I'll make you look worse somehow. So when you're listening, if you're listening to that before and thought, God, that was a mess, that was my editing skills. The year was 1932. Oh, a good year. The Great Depression was in full swing. The greatest of years. And life was pretty bleak across the board. Okay. Michael Maloy was a regular at Tony Marino's bar where he'd drink until he passed out. No one knew much about Michael Maloy,

other than that he'd come from Ireland. This is in New York. And that he was originally from County, Donnagle. He moved to New York, where he worked as a firefighter. Fortunately, he enjoyed a drink a little too much and lost his job due to his unreliability and erratic behavior. Did you just say fortunately that happened? Unfortunately. Oh my goodness, I was going to say because.

Unfortunately. Yeah, but don't worry when he was passed out, someone put a winning lottery ticket in a pants and that would have happened another one. All right. No. So he used to work as a firefighter now. He was unemployed, presumed living on the streets, and nobody really knew anything about him.

He had no family or friends, no definitive date of birth. Most people guessed he was around 60, but who knows? Right. And he didn't have a job other than occasionally collecting rubbish or sweeping alleyways. One night, Tony Moreno was at his speak easy, speaking to his friends, Francis Pasqua and Daniel Kreisberg. And Moreno confided in his friends, the business was not going well.

Despite the fact that a guy drinks till he passes out every night. Well, that's a good customer. That's the thing. Moreno was about 27 years old and he would be lucky to get money from his customers. So, tabs were opened, but really paid. It's not very good at the business. No, he's not good at business.

Make people pay for the drink when they get the drink. Don't open a tab. I've never thought of that. I've never thought of that. Just opening a tab and bailing on it. I've never thought of charging someone up front. Right. Yeah.

Well, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, well, like it's all bootleg alcohol because prohibitions happening as well. So they're like underground sort of hidden specie's and you're like, you give me this non-genuine liquor. I'll give you this non-genuine money. Yeah. I'll pay you in good wishes. So businesses aren't going very well for him. And his friend Pasqua, who was 24 and was an undertaker by trade said, why don't you take out an insurance policy on Maloy? There was an amazing article from the Smithsonian and this is a little passage from that. He says, Pasqua knew he'd pulled off such a scheme once before. The year prior Marino had befriended a homeless woman named Mabel Carson. He convinced her to take out a $2,000 life insurance policy, naming him as the beneficiary.

One cold night, he forced Fedher alcohol, stripped off a clothing, doused the sheets and mattress with ice water, and pushed the bed beneath an open window. Medical examiner listed the cause of death as pneumonia, and Marino collected the money without incident. That is the most horrific thing I've ever done. Now, what, can you kill someone that way? Well, yeah, she would have, like,

it probably would have been something like pneumonia, her body would have just shut down. Wow, and she said she was so drunk, she didn't know to, which was unconscious, that's pretty messed up. Yep. I thought he was gonna doubt her in petrol and said, I'm fine, that was terrible. Something else, I'm even more shocked, terrible. So I'm even more shocked.

Yeah. Because it has to look like an accident. Oh. Yeah, that is, whoa, that's for a long time. Whereas like a douch who would accidentally douse herself in petrol. Oh no, there's the petrol. Oh no, there's a cigarette.

But if it is, she's just found really cold in bed. And that doesn't burn down the whole building as well. Yeah. So. I mean, that is, it's kind of ingenious, but also the worst thing I've ever heard. Yeah, and I have a little note here that I said,

so we're talking about some very nice people. I have Pasco, you dirty dog. Well, that was Marino. Marino did that. Marino had done that. Pasco, like he suggested to Marino knowing that Marino had gone for over the months before. Like, he's too much of a wuss to ask people for money for the beers.

But he'll just kill people. But he'll kill people. Yeah. So Marino. Oh, I could ask him to close their tab, but... Probably easy to just kill him. I just kill this woman. Why don't I just close the tab on her life?

Cash in. Open a window, close the tab on her life? I'm caching. Open a window, close the tab on her life. Wow, that is nice. When one window opens, something something something. Yes, one woman dies. Yada yada yada. So Marino thought about Pasquist's suggestion. And looking at Maloy, he figured he ain't got much,

he ain't got much longer to go anyhow. The stuff is getting him. Yeah, the stuff being the alcohol that Marina was giving him. So... That's free, I guess. Not yet. But that does happen. The third man who was Daniel at Kreisberg, he was 29 years old, he was a gross aide,

it was a father of three. And he thought about the plan and agreed in the hopes of coming into some money for his young family. Not really sure what, like basically there's a group of them and I'm not really sure what much he actually does. But anyway, he was like, yeah, I'll do it because if we get some money out of it, then I can feed my kids.

Cheers. You would be so sus on this guy, offering you a drink. What, if you knew? If my lawyer, only of these people around him would be like, well, I was gonna, oh, this guy offering you a drink. What, if you knew... If Maloy, only of these people around him would be like, Maloy's gonna, oh, this one's in the house. Oh, what do you got planned for me, Maloy? Yeah.

No, I'm a lois, Maloy's the marino. You think you're a marino? Oh, marino. There's too many names. Poy marino. Love is gonna be more. What? In a couple of resources I read,

they claimed that Michael Maloy signed the insurance papers himself, tricked into signing a form that City could have unlimited free drinks at Marina speaking to. Sign here, I'll give you a puppy. Okay. However, I'm not sure I believe that. I read this account, which I feel is probably more likely.

So Pasqua paid in a acquaintance to come with them to meetings with insurance agents. This acquaintance would tell the insurance agents his name was Nicholas Mellery and that he worked as a florist and passed by how to colleague and the funeral bizz, falsely verify that yes, this guy's a florist I've worked with him at funerals. So then that's how they took out insurance policies. But there's a different name though too. Yeah, but they're just gonna like use the body and be like it's Nicholas.

Oh, right, okay. It's a different time. You could just use other bodies. Oh yeah, no, that's my mum. But then why make it a name similar? Yeah, that is strange, isn't it? Yeah, that's my dead body, I've died. Yeah, I'm good, yeah.

Now, can I have my money? Money please. Yeah, so I won't be coming into school today. As you can see I'm dead. So, yeah, that homework will not be done. It really was a different time. It's a different time. The great depression. Why do they call it that? It sounds amazing. It sounds like opportunities. It took past four, five months, but eventually he got three different life insurance policies, all offering double indemnity, which means double the payout if it's an accident. On this guy, Nicholas Melary's life, who doesn't exist. Two of the policies were with a potential life insurance company, and one was with the metropolitan life insurance company.

So one company insured the same person twice, both of them don't exist. Yeah. And then, and they both set up to double. So there's two of them already. They've doubled it, and then they'll double it again if it's an accident. Yeah.

Four times of money. Four times from one man. Yeah, the same come. Yeah, one man who doesn't exist. This is a good scam. Yeah, it's pretty good. They thought it through. It would be even better if the body that needed was just like

a bunch of potatoes or something. So no one even had to die. It was just a rug. There he is. There he is. No, I don't look at him. Oh, you've ever met him before? You know, no, he's not a rug. How dare you? That's him. He's a rug. He's a rug. And he was the best

god damn rug I have ever knew. Well, I live in him so empty right now. And my heart. It's an open casket. It's a rolled up rug. Everyone has to kiss the rug. Kiss the rug. Pascoa, he also recruited another acquaintance who was a bartender at Tony Marino's bar to act as next of kin and beneficiary for this fictional Nicholas, Mallory. And all he would need to do would be positively, positively identify the body, falsely positively, to notify it. And the money would be theirs. If they pulled off the plan, they would split $3,500, which was about like $66,000 today. So it was a fair bit of money.

It's a lot of effort for $66,000, isn't it? Yeah. Like you're risking a lot. A lot. Murdering a man. You're murdering a man for a split of 66 grand too. Oh, so that's not even their cut. You get a third of that age.

Yeah. Oh my God. Oh, remembering that is the great depression they got like I mean. That's also only if there was only three of them. They get more people. So it's now December of the 1932 and a few extra men were added to the group. The press would later call them the murder trust. The people who were added were Petty criminals John McNally and Edward's tinny Smith.

He had a fake ear, but it was not made of tin, it was made of wax. No idea why anybody called him tinny, but they did. Okay. Edward tinny Smith. And there was also tough Tony, bestone, and Okay. Edward Tinier Smith, and there was also Tuff Tony, Bastone, and his submissive sidekick, Joseph Maglioni. Joseph, the carrot knels Maglioni.

He was a snowman. Yeah. So like I touched on before, part of the plan was giving Maloy free drinks. They thought he's a big drinker. Part of the plan, Maloy's free drinks. They thought he's a big drinker. Part of the plan. Maloy was like, I never pay you anyway. Yeah, I've never given you any money,

but they're like, take it free. They sort of figured he was a big drinker, he'll just drink himself to death. Easy peasy. Well, actually, I don't know, that's less nasty than that. It's all, that's borderline ethical. It's not, but I do. It's definitely not, but I think they wanted it to, to you know like you can certainly drink yourself to death over many decades

You know, quite so many issues. I think they wanted him to like drink himself to dead right now like tonight Can you take yourself to death tonight? Could you I bet you can't drink 30 bottles of vodka Chide accepted oh No, I could I could also give him like high fat meals and cigarettes Really can go you can't exercise any more nobody loves you. They also give him like high fat meals and cigarettes. Just trying to really get it going. You can't exercise anymore. Nobody loves you. They're also trying to beat him down.

They put multiple old mobile phones in his pockets. Yeah, mate, that radiation over time. It's going to lead to some issues, possibly. Come stand near the mark. I'm putting it on for eight minutes. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move enough to kill him. So yeah, they wanted him to just drink himself to death and that way it would also look like

the death was an accident. You know, like it just happened. It wasn't anything suspicious. But do you think that's double indefinite? Do you think that counts as an accident if someone has drank themselves to death over their lifetime? It's not like something like you got hit by a car or something fell on your head.

It's like over several decades, like you were saying, he drank too much accidentally. Yeah, he didn't know. You can drink yourself, you can get alcohol poisoning. Yeah, of course, yeah, that's what I mean. Like, bonds got went out, isn't it? I think so. Yeah, choking on your own vom.

Yeah. It's a real rock star. In a car. Yeah, choking on your own vong. Yeah. It's a real rock star one. In a car. Really? Pretty sure it was sitting in a car. It's sitting in a car. Oh, it's sad. So, yeah, they thought, look, we'll give him free drinks.

He'll be dead this week. But this went on for weeks and weeks. And the law would always turn up the next day to take you to see the bar and start all over again. Oh, this is the week. We've got him. How funny, you know, like cheers for everyone knows you name. Hey, Norm, we're like, oh, fuck.

Maloy! You're fucking again. Maloy, you're still here. Oh, you're still alive. If you're a cup of methylated spirits last night and I haven't done the trick. Dave, you are so close. Oh, really? The metatrust were at a loss. Day after day,

Maloy came back into the bar and enjoyed his free drinks. The trusts were always like heartling around like they're about to play in some sort of big tournament. Yeah, they're like getting a game plan, clapping themselves up. Murder trust. He'd always, he'd have his drinks, he'd stumble off and he'd be back the next day Growing increasingly patient tough Tony suggested someone just shoot Maloy in the head and get it over and done with Could be that's an excellent. That is tough. That is tough. I'm not Donnie. I got a carrot nose But Murphy recommended a more subtle solution. Is that tinny? No, no

I didn't bleed out I don't even remember sorry. Sorry. Sorry Murphy. What did Murphy want? Yeah, no, no, no, no,zes in rocket fuels and as a general solvent. So they thought, here we go. Like drinks containing just 4% wood alcohol could cause blindness. And by 1929 more than 50,000 people nationwide had died from the effects of impure alcohol. So their plan wasn't just to serve him like shots tainted with wood oil, but straight up wood alcohol, wood alcohol, wood alcohol. This is starting to get a little less ethical. Yeah, they're like, let's just straight up poison him.

So Murphy bought some wood alcohol at a local hardware store, took it back to the bar, and Marino served Maloy shots of cheap whiskey to get him feeling good, and then they made the switch. This guy's just like, keep him coming. Yeah, I love the idea that cheap whiskey is like, oh, I'm king of the world. I don't even have to drink wood. I'm solvent today. Cheap whiskey, holy moly, it is meant to be drunk. You got a new cocktail that's called rocket fuel.

You're gonna love it. The gang watched on us, Moloid, down to the drinks. Everyone is like, in the whole bar, he's just staring at this guy. Ooh! You wouldn't be sussed all that these people are staring at you very intently while you're having a drink.

All holding big bottles of valvalling. You know what I mean. Valvally. I mean he must be so pissed all the time. He's not noticing any of this behaviour. Yeah. He's just like, ah my boy, it's my mate. My mate accrued.

That's a thing. Why do we call ourselves that again? Hahaha. Hahaha. So they're watching him and they're like, here we go. But their enthusiasm didn't last long as he never showed any signs of illness. Hahaha. In fact, just kept drinking. No. He

certainly got drunk, but he did not get dead. Night after night, the scene repeated itself. This is a little quote from that Smithsonian article. Night after night, the scene repeated itself with Maloy drinking shots of water alcohol as fast as Murphy poured them. Until the night he crumpled without warning to the floor. The gang fell silent, staring at the jumbled head, a heap by their feet. Pasco knelt by Moloise body, feeling it neck for the pulse, lowering his ear to the mouth. The man's breath was slow and labored. He couldn't hear it was his tinny ear. They decided to wait, watching the sluggish rise and fall of his chest. Any minute now, finally there was a long jagged breath, the death rattle maybe, but then Maloy began to snore.

I just got a sling. And then he woke up several hours later and asked for a drink. I was like, they were back at the drawing board. And he was a pan out and all of a sudden he's standing in the edge of the shot and addressing down, brushing his teeth. Hey, fellow wood, what have you been up to? Sorry, passed out before, can I grab a drink? They're all on the house, man, how do you pull mine?

Is that cool? Anyone want to drink? Yeah, Favollay. Anyone in? It's so good. He just stopped snoring. That's what I was saying. They like, we've got him.

He's dead. He's made it. He doesn't have a smile on his face. He does have a smile on his face. He's dead. He's just falling asleep. More deadly poisons rotted to Maloy's drinks in an attempt to finally break his immune system. They tried turpentine, horse liniment, and even rat poison, but he still kept coming back. Holy moly.

They put, he drank rat poison. Yeah. Yeah. That is seriously. Wow. And then they tried raw oysters, which was Pascua's idea, knowing that Murphy enjoyed seafood. They don't eat oysters raw. No, but they'd like, they'd soak them in something like wood alcohol. Wrap poison. And they'd get it to him. Yeah, well the wood alcohol didn't work. No, they weren't raw, they were like, Oh, okay, okay.

But incredibly, so I just have system seemed to be able to cope with that as well. I am guts. At this point, I get it now. At this point their murder attempt was costing them money because between the bar tab, the wood wood alcohol That's $66,000 And the monthly insurance premiums that they're paying Three times four. Oh yeah three. They were running up a fair bit of debt with the plan and nothing seemed to be working

And he's just having a great time. He's like, oh, these are the best. I got some new friends Things are looking after me. I don't know why, but I really appreciate it. And they're seafood. Yeah. They're delicious. What? I just didn't know you guys were paying so much attention to me. I was so nice. I mean, you, a grown man can have friends like these.

A birth, best birthday ever. I didn't realize it was his birth day. It seems this is so cool. Oh, so lovely. Thank you so much. Shots all around. They're like, no, we're good. Give me some more rocket fuel.

OK, so Murphy had an idea next. He let a tin of sardines rot for several days, mixed in some shrapnel. What? I'm not going to notice that there's males in these fish. Just pretty crunchy sardines. Slam is the concoction between pieces of bread

and served maloy the sandwich. I probably just assumed it was like a whole meal, like a multi-gratting bread. Yeah, you're like, you get bits in that. You're gonna get bits in that. Any minute they thought this medal's gonna start slashing through his organs. Instead, maloy finished the sandwich and asked for another.

That was great. That guy's, that was really great. Rotten sardines. With I also read at one point it had like drawing pins in there. Oh. He's just eating it. How are you not noticing? It's insane.

So then they realized that if they really wanted to kill him alive, which all boy they did, they'd have to do it a different way. They had tried poisoning and with everything they could think of and nothing had worked and Merino recalled his success with Maible Carlson and suggested that they ice Maloy down and leave him outside overnight. So that night they waited from Maloy to inevitably pass that drunk. They tossed him in the back seat of Pasquist Car and they drove in silence to a crotonous park. Cattle respect. Yeah. And dragged the unconscious man through piles of snow.

They stripped of his shirt, they dumped bottles of cold water on him. And at no time did he wake up during any of this. So you can only imagine how shit faced he is. And then Marino and Pasqua left him there in the park to freeze to death. They go back, they go home, go to bed, sleep easy. And, uh, and they're like, all right, we did it. The next day, Maloy returned to Marino's bar. No.

No. Laughing about waking up in the snow. God. I must have been always to last night. I don't even remember walking to the snow or taking my top off. Exactly. He had no idea how he'd got there. He's like lying in the snow.

The last time he did it on a bed with a window open. Yeah, he's in the snow. He's in the snow. No shirt and cold water dump deliver him, so his body is just so cold. They must be thinking about cutting their losses at some point. Surely, but.

Or thinking that it is something, he's some sort of spirit or something. Yeah, he's made a deal with the devil. He can't be taken down. If there's one thing they have though, it's perseverance. This is crazy. So he, Maloy spent the day laughing about it with his bemused friends over drinks. He's like, isn't this fun? Oh god, I am wild. I am wacky. What am I like? What am I like? Am I right fellas? Best friends? Are we all getting matched and tats? Let's do it.

So another month had passed and another insurance policy payment was due. So the murder trust were growing more and more impatient. Someone suggested they just hit him with a car. So they recruited the servers of a cab driver friend of theirs. Sorry, another person's been cutting the deal. Another person's in. But only for like a one off payment kind of thing. He's not getting a whole thing.

I think they were going to pay him like $160. His name's listed as two different names in a couple of different sources. He has to destroy his cab as well. Yeah. His name's either Harry or Hershey Green. It's definitely green. Let's go with Hershey because it's great. It's great.

That feels like a bad deal for him. $160. To kill someone. To kill someone. Yeah. And ruin you. And ruin you, huh? Which is your, your, the way you're, you're, you're lovely. And you've got, and if you work for a cab company, whatever, you've got to be like, yeah, killed a man last night. Yeah. And I don't have a car. Can I borrow a car? It was an accident. So certainly that's what we'll be telling the insurance company anyway. I've said too much. So you might think that they just get green

to wait outside the speakers until Malloy left and then follow him for a bit and hit him. Like that would, to me, that seems. That's what I'm thinking. I'm still assuming that right now. That seems pretty logical. But no, no, that's way too clever. Apparently what they did was once again,

let Malloy drink himself until he was very, very drunk. And then they all piled into the cab together with a drunk Maloy, passed out lying across their legs and they drove, they drove a few blocks and they stopped and two of them dragged Maloy down the road, they held him up kind of like crucifixion style, they was holding him up because he couldn't stand because he was that drunk. So they held him up and then green Gunned the edge and he starts racing towards them everyone's braced from the corner of his eye Why?

All of them are in front of the car. I know so what they're gonna jump out of the way I don't know what their plan is but but out of the corner of his eye Magliones or a woman turn on a light in her room and he worried that she'd witness the incident so he like called out to stop So the cab screeches to a halt, everyone's sort of like, oh man, and then they're making sure the coast is clear. Once they're like, yep, we're all good. She hasn't seen anything, she's just turning on a light.

They prepared for round two. She's gone to bed. Is it in the same spot? Yeah, they they in move. Oh my god. Maloy managed to leap out of the way. Not once, but twice. What the hell are you up and he jumped out of the way?

He's like, hey fellas, why are you up to this? Twice in the same night, someone's trying to run us over, I'll be saying it's another road. Oh, that was lucky anyway. Yeah, let's continue the conversation. Back in the middle of the road. Anyway. I feel like I'm going to go on.

Oh my god, there's a camera. I'm going to do it. Quick. Oh, well, I need to go home. Cap? Take a look. On the third go, green, raced at Maloy at 50 miles or 80 kilometers an hour hour and he hit him.

Malo bouncing off the hood of the car and falling to the ground. For good measure, Greene backed up over him again just to make sure. This time they'd done it. The gang was sure. He was definitely dead. But another car was coming so they fled the scene so that they weren't seen. There were no witnesses. So about a week later, Joseph Murphy pretending to be the brother of Nicholas Mallory,

this fake person, called all the morgues and hospitals in an attempt to locate his missing sibling. But no one had any information. There were no reports of a fatal accident in the newspaper. And five days after that, when there was still no record of maloe being dead, Pasco and the rest of the gang were getting so desperate that Pasco was plotting to just kill any other drunk he could

and pass them off as his fictional Nicholas Mellory. And then Lauren behold in walks Maloy. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh He's pretty bad at embroosed. I think he'd fractured his skull and some sort of injury to his leg where there was a fracture or a break or something like that. And you're still at the bar a week later? It was about four weeks later. It was my foot bar in this whole time. Oh my god.

And he was so keen to tell his friends about this wild story. Oh my. I know. All he could remember was the taste of whiskey, the cold night air, a flash of lights, and waking up in Fordham hospital. That's all he can ever remember. I know.

They're doing this the wrong way. They could make money out of this guy alive. Like, turn him around. Have your best shot. You could run him over to whatever you like. He can't die. We will not die. Just charge per tickets.

Drinking competitions. I will drink anything. Yeah, I will just gamble anyone Just charge per tickets. Drinking competitions, I will drink anything. Yeah, I will just gamble anyone, put up a bet. They could make way more money using him for good. Yeah, but you have to explain to him, how do you know that I can drink meth-related spirits and not die? Well, well. You see, friendship didn't really start out as a conventional friendship.

But we like you now. Yeah, I'm not going to kill you now. You're going fond of you. Now I just want to make money off you, of your alcoholism. Finally though, Maloy's luck had to come to an end. Dave, as you would say, Olga thinks sadly must come to an end, including Maloy's luck and this long torture of a poor man. including a loisluck and this long torture of a poor man.

On February 21st, 1933, seven months after the murder trusted, Ferd first made their plan. They once again waited for Maloy to drink himself into an unconscious state. They then took him to an apartment building less than a mile away from the speakeasy and they put this as fucked. They put one end of a rubber tube from a gas slide into his mouth, wrapped a towel tightly around his face and then poisoned it with carbon monoxide. This time, Mloy did not make a miraculous recovery and he was finally dead. He made two miraculous recovery. A friend of the group, who was a dodgy doctor, named Dr. Frank Manzella, filed a fake death certificate stating that this was Nicholas Mallory and that he died of pneumonia.

I mean, this murder group has now half the city in it. Yeah, right. There's so many. There's so many. Yeah. It's really pointless at this point. Plus, by the time you're covering the costs of the insurance policies and how much alcohol is drank and how much the tins of wood alcohol that had to keep going and getting from the hardware store. And you cab. And you cab. And just I often think

about that with like criminal stuff that takes so much time and effort. It's like great, you've got dedication. Just use that dedication for something legal and you'll go really far. It's so much time and effort. For something legal. Like if you were just, and you're not murdering a man. Right. It takes that tenacity and apply it. Wedding planning. Somewhere else.

Yes, exactly. You'd be great. You're a real planner. It's actually. Attention to detail. You know what they can and can't drink, for example oysters. It doesn't even have to be specifically weddings, just events.

Yes, event planning. Event planning. This is a man who has grown up in the affinees who believes everyone's got an equal shot. Do you think these people in the Great Depression could just start a wedding planning company? Event planning, please. Sorry, sorry, event planning.

Yes. Yes, of course, yes. Thank you. Certainly, sorry, I missed that. People have to plan their great depressed events Not everyone was depressed Sure the mega wealthy was still okay. I think the great cats. He organized his own stuff. He had an event planner Oh my god. Are you kidding? He's love-ish parties. Yeah, they were so lavish

Exactly of course he must have had a planner a staff Yes, he would have had a plan or a staff in fact. He would have had several planners. The themes to his parties. Oh, yeah, they're often like 1920s theme. Yeah, so fun. Yeah, I love that. I love that.

that's where I'd go back and I'd say, stop it, I'm sorry, stop it with that hair. Would I kill baby Hitler? No. I would go to the hairdressing salons of the 1920s. And say, ladies enough. Shame it off.

Get rid of it. You look ridiculous. Jump back in the DeLorean and you know, the history's changed. Shave some hair. The probably never became, you know, the guy was, if I'd changed that a little bit, they're not in trouble.

Yeah, you're right, butterfly flaps at wings, etc. Yeah. Think about that, flappers. Butterflies, flappers at wings. Yeah, butterfly flaps at wings. So was that term, come from? Yes! Yes, Dave.'ve made us...

They've made us... I know, sometimes I don't connect obvious things. So you're the smart one. Well, yes. Well, you play the role of the smart one. We lived in the curtain bit here, but it's actually Jess and I. We are mega smart. Yeah, you're controlling me.

I'm a puppet. I'm a puppet man. You're a puppet-sized puppet. How could you... Do you want it like man-sized? We said absolutely not. That'd be suspicious. It must be puppet-sized puppet. Yeah. How could you do that? Do you want it like man-sized?

Or is it absolutely not? No. That would be suspicious. It must be puppet-sized. Could we get it in the size of a boy? Do you want it to be like a big strong boy? No, no, no, no. What have you got in puppet-sized?

Oh, puppet-sized puppet. We want a weak little boy. We want to be able to put my thumb and index finger around his bicep, tiny little boy. Then we also had to develop different voices because that's how we talk, by naturally, on Mike, we talk like this. Like this, I hate it.

Yeah, it's gross. I hate it. I hear him back, it's the worst. But, you know, it's all part of the brand. Yeah. But I do miss my authentic self. Yes. Me too.

No, no, no. Me too. I lost my character. Sometimes I get so lost in the character. Yeah, you get lost in the Caribbean. I lose me. No, no, no. Dave, please don't project onto me.

The pop is projecting back onto its master. Ha ha, you'd be on your master. Master, master, master. Clean the floors, Dave. Yes, sir. Okay, so now, this is a relatively short report because it's a pretty fantastic story. I like it.

I mean, two people have been tragically killed, but I love it so much. Yeah, it's so wild. Now it was time to claim their cash. They finally actually killed Maloy. Now they've got to get their money. They get their 3.50 each. They only got $800 from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

How about, they're hoping for about two and a half, was it? I think so. No, sorry. It was going to be three grand in total. So let's say on average, a grand from age. Okay, so they get 800 bucks Um, and that was they said oh it's because You've clearly killed this person who is not the person you've said it is yeah, but we'll give you 800 How's that we love a body is a body

What do you do with your body your insurance company? What do you do with your body? Your insurance company. Bapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapap suit was killer guy. Oh my god. Over seven weeks. Why not steal a suit? Seven months. Seven months. They paid for a suit. They paid insurance premiums. They paid for wood alcohol. Marino runs a bar. His bar lost money instead of putting that money back into his bar. You guys are fucking charged anyone. He bought a suit. So they're incredibly intelligent people. Now I look great while some getting ripped off by my customers. So they're incredibly intelligent people. Now I look great whilst I'm getting ripped off by my customers. Pascua arrived at the potential office.

Confident he'd collect the money from the other two policies. But the agent, Spanner in the works, said, well, when can I see the body? And Pascua was like, oh, it's already been buried. And that caused some suspicion. And the insurance company alerted the police. And in May of 1933, Maloy's body was exhumed for investigation. It was found that he had not died of pneumonia.

Green, who was the cab driver, we remember, was not happy with his cut. He started talking. And so I assume back then they just had no way of finding out. Like they hadn't sought this through at all. Like just looking at the body they were able to find out it wasn't how he died. Oh my God, they were a little naive. I'm so naive.

Just steal a suit. Still suit. Still money. Like you, you've got months. Use that months of planning to plan one night of a suit shop. Heist not even do you know what spend that amount of time just trying to improve your business. No, I mean my main thing here is why didn't they just put him on the street and run him over? Why do they tried that? Why do they hold him up though? Yeah, it is. He could have just been like,

oh, I'm a cab driver camera in the corner. I was didn't see him because he's a drunk guy passed out on the street. That's an accident. Well, I still don't think green is gonna be like, oh, Officer, I accidentally hit him. You'd like hit and run. Not that I'm saying, that's a good thing to do. Oh my God, if I send some true colors here. Just hit him and run.

So anyway, green starts talking. Oh, oh, her show green. Hershey, go ahead.. Oh, her show green. Oh, her show. She looks like a little bit more social. Police discovered that a homeless woman had diad and marinaed, speak easy under suspicious circumstances, and that marina was the sole beneficiary of her life insurance policy. That is weird.

That is weird. So not only is this more. They've absolutely cooked this bad plan, but it's also uncovered his last bit of dodgy noise. Yeah. Silly boys. Then I've read and I don't have much detail. Also this story obviously is from a very long time ago and there's a few sort of articles

written about it, but not a heap of information. It just said that on a separate matter, Tuff Tony was shot dead and Joseph Maglione, his sidekick, was charged with his murder. I don't know if he actually shot him or if he was just falsely charged, don't know. That would be funny if that one was a genuine accident. Yeah. Yeah. I was just showing him how my gun works. Look at this, it goes bang! Oh no, not again. I'm losing all my friends. Not again. I just want to impress him

with my not again. Not again. Not again. I'm just going to make a call. I love that. Carry the one. Here's a little the best bits. Here used them in any scenario. Any scenario they're all funny. Read a book. Read a book. For four long, there was enough evidence to arrest the remaining murder trust. Frank Pasquart, Tony Marino, Daniel Kreisberg, who we haven't heard much of,

but he was there the whole time. Joseph Murphy all appeared at the Bronx, Bronx County Courthouse. First, they tried to plead insanity. But when that didn't work, they tried to plead insanity. Oh, them. But when that didn't work, they tried to implicate each other in the murder. I'm either insane or they did it.

Yeah, I'm crazy. Woo! No, you're not. It was him. Yeah, he did it. Then that didn't really work either. So then they tried to accuse Bastone, the guy who had died.

That's where they should have started. Oh, Molloy's murder. They're like, the guy you can't question. Yeah. It was him. Why didn't we say that first? Yeah, we should have said that before I said, I was cookie.

Because I'm insane. That's why. I'm insane. What a mahogany. What a mahogany. It didn't work. And in June and July of the following year, in 1934,

Pasquo, Marino, Kreisberg and Murphy were executed by the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison. Harry Green, the cab driver, was the only member of the murder trust to escape execution and was instead sent to prison. Right, so how many people were executed then? A lot.

It's quite a body canister. For Pasquo and Marina, Kreisberg and Murphy were all, all of the electric chair. And then Big John got shot. Tough Tony was already dead. Tough Tony. I don't know what happened to Megalena, actually.

And then Harry Green went to prison. Right. It's a, you'd never get in a business with a group of people who are willing to kill for a small amount of money. Or any amount of money, right? Well, as soon as it happens, you just, I don't think they're the most trustworthy people, especially when you open up to a huge group.

Yeah. I'd say the moral of this story is try not to kill people, please. Oh, that is a good moral, yes. Had you said that, you've read them in the lines, are you going to sit in there somewhere? Try not to kill. Yeah. Also trust no one. Oh.

They'll not kill. They'll not trust People called bad Tony. Perfect. But yeah, it was kind of a pretty memorable obviously case because he survived at least five attempts on his life before they finally got him. But that is my story about Mike, the durable or iron Mike. The durable or the such an understated. I know. I wish. Well, what's the

Rasputin? I don't know. I actually don't see it. When a Rasputin they try to the story goes that he wouldn't die. Right. Yeah. The shot him and then stab him. I remember the part about his dick. Yeah, right. No, the shot him and stabbed him and threw him in the ice and all right, okay Yeah, and also I think also also poison him as well. He also had been fed I asked a nick or something like that everyone would die and he was like, yep Yeah delicious anymore and then yeah Just yeah, it's I feel like they really missed a trick by not using him as a, yeah, just as

a county sort of. Yeah. I think there was, there was something about it like the case was one of the very first cases to be investigated by the New York City Medical Examiner's office. Like it had just been founded. Right. And so then it sort of like it was a historical case anyway. So it was unlucky for the murder syndicate really. That is unlucky. Yeah, yeah, bad time to be

better. If he died six months early, I like they wanted. I would have got away with it. But it wasn't really out of way with it. It was just so good to die the first time. Yeah, anyway, it's funny because I had this written down a little while ago as a topic that might be good for a mini report. And then I started researching and I was like, there's definitely enough for a full report. It was actually a fairly short report there. But it's good to have short reports sometimes. There wasn't heaps.

There's not heaps and heaps and heaps of information and nothing that you can really verify a lot. But if you want to read it, there's a very good article on the Smithsonian, which I reference, it's probably my main reference for this one because it sort of had the most information. But anyway, that is the wild story, Michael Malloy. I'm so glad you brought it to the group because I'd never heard of it and I love it. So fun. The man who wouldn't die.

I really wish he just kept living. I know, I'm sad he did die. I thought it was all over when he got hit by the car though. Yeah. And I wanted you to do that. I wanted you to do that. Did well. Four weeks later, walk it in.

Yeah, well not, but like, because we've all got that friend, especially when we're younger, we've all got that friend who always has crazy stories from like the weekend. Like I'm into work and they're like, oh, God, I did this. And you're always has crazy stories from the weekend. They come into work and they're like, oh, God, did this. And you're always like, you're so crazy. But in this case, they're like, for fuck's sake,

Mike, please just die. He was back in. None of you visited me in the hospital. Yeah. He was supposed to be my friends. You would not believe the month I felt. I told you everything about me. I told you I'm approximately 60.

I told you I love seafood. Oh, yeah, I forgot it was 60. Well, yeah, they think, but also like, it's also been living pretty much out on the street. He's been homeless for quite a while and is a big, big drinker. So he could be younger and he just has not aged well. It's 32 years old. Just builds up a real resistance. Yeah, it seems that way. But maybe like too much. But yeah, anyway, isn't that crazy? Crazy cool. Love it. Did you have fun?

That's so much fun. That's all I want. That's what it's all about. That's all I want. Well, that brings us to the second of the show that the people love. The people want, the people need. They need it!

The main event, if you will. Yes. Now that we've got the on-trail out of the way, it is time for the fact quote or question. Now Matt, this comes from a Patreon supporter and if people want to support the show on Patreon, where do they go? They go to patreon.com slash do go on pod and damn right. And in exchange for supporting the show, if you want to keep us rocking and rolling, you can go there and get a couple of bonus episodes every month

that no one else here's access to ticket pre-sales. We've got a Facebook group and stuff that no one else is involved with. We'll give you a shout out, which we'll do in a couple of minutes, but also one of the Sid D. Scheinberg, Rest in Peace, Deluxe Package tier members gets to submit a factor quote or a question and

give themselves a nickname that Matt reads out. And this week, the fact the quote or the question, it's a fact, comes from Johannes Johann I'd say, what an O with an Oomla out on top, O-O-O-U-Wall, maybe Johann U-Wall. I love that. And he's given us this fact. And like I'd say most weeks, I am reading it for the first time, so be patient, please. He says, I had a hard time coming up with a fun fact for you guys, so I decided to Bing Google, and then Google the word fact.

Instead of finding an actual fun or interesting fact, I chose the Wikipedia page about fact as my fact. So this is a fact about fact. Yes. And he quotes, I guess this is a quote from Wikipedia. A fact is a thing that is known to be consistent with objective reality and can be proven to be true with evidence.

For example, this sentence contains words, is a linguistic fact, and the sun is a star, is a cosmological fact. Further, Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States, and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated are also both facts of the historical type. There's a lot of many facts in this fact. It might be a little bit like cheating for my part since it technically includes several facts, but I just thought it was funny how they kept mentioning more examples as if it wasn't clear enough what a fact actually is. If you deem this message to be too long to read out, then just choose one of the facts mentioned above. I believe they're all fine facts.

Fine. As a title, I would like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind since that is probably my favorite title. It's a great tie, good film. I haven't seen an ages, but I loved it at the time. Yeah, likewise. It is a good film. Good film. I wonder if it holds up. Let's rewatch it. Now next movie, no, let's get out the bean bags and I'm matching PJs. Yes, I'm going to make a hot cocoa. That sounds so good. I love that idea. I love marshmallows. Me too. Why are you still love marshmallows? I haven't had marshmallows in a hot cocoa. That sounds so good. I love that idea. I love marshmallows

Too why you still have marshmallows I had marshmallows on a long time. I was trying to play along, but I Try marshmallows again. We just let him go If you think so you like him cook, do you like him? Gotta be roasted on it. Yeah, they are better roasted, but I used to just eat a roll Yeah, that was something fun about being like your toast to skin and then a pool. Yeah. And there's some kind of gooey inside. You want a stick and then go again, a bush stick. They just keep burning that goo.

Slowly creating a coating of goo. I think lathering your body in it and then jumping in the fire and then going to school. Yeah. Good morning. And the other thing we like to do with with Patrons, if people have supported us on Patreon.com-slazh-to-go-on-pod, is we'll thank some of our supporters each episode. We will do that. We do it every time. We normally do it with a bit of a game. A little bit of a fun game that we play, just comes up with some sort of a game.

I always call it a game. It's not at all a game. What is it? Well, um. Just a bit. It's a bit, it's a bit of a show. Should we name their gang? Okay. You know how they would have been murdering. I'll give it a try.

But they don't have to be murderers. We can tell them what their philosophy is. That's great. But their gang of friends, what are they called? I love that. I love that so much. Do you? Yeah. And kicking off. Oh no.

What does this mean? What have you done? No. All right, let me Google what this address is. Oh no. I've looked ahead and there's actually an incredible once this week. Oh no, what have we done here?

Oh, I see. Gothenburg and Sweden, but obviously that's not how Swedish people say it. It looks at Gutenberg, Sverge, Sverge. Is that a Sweden, the Swedish people call Sweden's Sperge? Sperge. Sperge. I didn't know that. Gutenberg's Swedish. Sperge. Sperge. Well, I apologize for all of that. And who are you actually thanking, rather than the whole country? Obviously, we love the sport of the Swede. Macaul Medin or Macaul Medin or Michael Medin? How would you say that? What would you say? How would you say that?

I think you definitely nailed it. One of the three. Thank you so much. Michael, Michael. It's so cool. This one's in Gothenburg, Sweden. That's sick. That's awesome.

So you got Goth right there. What's the gang? Is it a gang of emo gang? Yeah The emo emus they're all Dave's not into a lot of oh my good Amos are an Australian animal come on. Yeah, but this is what is he said or the mind? Amo definitely says ammo American say emus, but what do they know? No, there's no no don't bring up the mayor thing again. No, because I think I was proven Correct in that one. No, but I know I will I'll say this again. You weren't saying it in an American way. You were saying like John Mayer. Mayer. You're going, you know, Mayer as they would say.

And but you again, you're arguing with all the Americans who messaged and say, yeah, Matt was right. They're the ones you're arguing with now. Americans. You're telling Americans. Yeah, we say it like mayor. And you're going, you said everyone you said everyone says, mayor. And I said, no, that is not right. But I, no, not everyone says, Mayor, I'll admit defeat there. But you were also saying, we could later, maya. Well, no, there's the point is a lot of people said a lot of different ways. One of the ways some people say it is incorrect. Mayor, yes, mayor. Please to meet you, Mayor.

Now, I feel like this we've overshadowed the thank you to Michael Medin from Gotham X-Weddon. I think that we should say he is part of the Batman Boys. That is so much worse than a Emoemius. That's terrible. That's bad. I'm going with Batman Boys. Batman Boys, thank you so much. What are you talking about? You've really lost. You can have another go with the next one. I think again people are gonna back me up on Twitter And they probably will and that's fine. Mm-hmm. Is it there right and you're right? Yeah, but once again I should probably remind them that This comes out a few days after we've recorded and as soon as I leave this room I've forgotten everything so I'll have no idea

What you talking I'll know what you're talking about They get around so at Matt. I don't have one Batman boys. They get around Gothenburg City wearing leather jackets with emo emus on the back. It's sick. All right, you're right. We didn't yes, Angie there. And we should have because we're a team.

Just another emo. Just another example. I'm literally trying to do it right now. Another example of being let down by my so-called friends. I'm backing you right now. I'd also love to thank Matt. I'm not trying to do it right now. Another example of being let down. I'm backing you. I'm backing you right now. I'd also love to think. Matt, I'm not backing you. Unbelievable.

Where is this place? Yeah, there's a few amazing places. I'm guessing it's Finland. This is Finland. Wow, from Latte in Finland, I'd love to think. Henri Strandman. Henry Strandman. Henri Strandman. Strandman. Henry Strandman. Oh, it's a big one. Oh, it's a big one. Oh, it's a big one.

Can't believe I came here today feeling good about myself. I really don't feel good about yourself. I feel like an email. That's your mistake. Yeah, so the the Lakers. Yeah, that's great. Good one.

I came up with the Lakers. That was fucking sick. That was really great. Thank you so much. When I think of Noel, I think of playwright Henrik Yipson. So Henrik's heart throbs. Oh, I actually, I don't hate it. Do you want to bowl with that?

Matt, what do you think? I mean, feel free to have a crack at me here. I think it's fine. One of my favorite songs from a couple years ago was Bergen to Trondheim by Sunkill Moon. What did you say? Can we merge the two together? Henrik's Heart Throbs.

Oh, no, that's great. That's the answer. I'm really good. Sorry, but it is interesting. I never appreciate you being genuinely nice. I did not. I, I knew that song and I know it's about a, he wrote it, I think on a journey between these two cities, but I never knew that that was where that was. So it's in Norway, Trondheim.

That's cool. That is pretty cool. Very, very cool. Thanks so much, Alexandra. I haven't, have you, I've never been to any of the Scandinavian, I haven't been in that area at all. Love to. I've been to Sweden and they are as beautiful as everyone says they are. Yeah, I bet.
