which good well your podcast is a ridiculous juggernaut and it could not it could not happen
to better people i mean isn't that yeah my favorite murder which isnaut and it could not happen to better people.
Yeah, thanks.
My favorite murder, which is, oh, you think it could happen to better people?
I like myself.
We'd love it to happen to us.
I'm actually in love with your show.
I love your show.
For real?
When you guys,
when you're starting episodes by questioning
the effect this show will have on your own mortality
is one of my favorite things.
And Karen,
when you are describing
one of your favorite murders
in Georgia,
you are constantly saying,
oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
It's always a shock.
Yeah, yeah.
No.
She ripped the entrails
completely out.
Oh, cut from the nose
down to the vagina.
Hold on a second. Because that's always
like 11 minutes away from
you going, I just got my nails done.
I don't do my nails normally
and I'm now on this show.
I'm on the latest episode where
someone teases my hair for like an hour.
Anyway, rape and murder.
Episode one
for anybody, for the, I don't know how you like podcasts and haven't already listened to this show, yeah episode one for anybody for the i don't know how you like
podcasts and haven't already listened to this show but episode one karen when you are describing
the was it the bay area like the original night stalker oh yeah yeah and you're talking about
the town hall meeting and the guy who says george is already and the guy who's like there's no way
a man would allow his wife to be raped and then and you are freaking out george is already and the guy who's like there's no way a man would allow his wife to be
raped and then and you are freaking out george and you're waiting to tell her that that guy who
said that ends up getting it next yeah yeah but didn't they do like put plates on his back or
something like that that was one of his mo's was yeah he would do that he would say if i hear these
plates clatter then i will kill your wife while he takes her out of the room to go rape her in the front room terrible so intense yeah well
it's weird and and i mean i am curious about this because your podcast is so deservedly popular but
i think it taps into something that we all either don't want to admit to people that we're into or
that we like or we just want to hear you guys because you're so affable,
and I love listening to you guys.
I could listen to you talk about cooking or anything,
and then it just so happens.
It's like a slumber party that's like, hey, in the middle of the slumber party.
You guys want to hear a ghost story?
I mean, that's what it feels like.
It feels like this really calm entry point into some macabre stuff.
And I have found myself going like,
yeah,
I want to go down.
I'll go down to YouTube,
like rabbit holes and watch all the news coverage of some crazy stuff.
And I'm like,
what is it in me that is like dying to hear these crazy?
What do you guys think it is?
I mean,
I feel like,
I mean,
the,
like say forensic files has been on TV for 30 years or 2020 or any of those shows like it's a
thing that's this isn't new it's just kind of coming to the to the entertainment for right now
but people have been into it for a long time so i think it's just that thing of for me anyway it's
like here's worst case scenario you can go and look look at it and find out all the details about it
and touch it and leave.
I think that's the key.
I think for me,
it acknowledges the fact
that I have so much anxiety
over these things
and I'm like,
see, I'm not fucking crazy.
These things happen.
Totally.
But not to me.
And I think you guys
handled it in a way
that people treat this stuff
so seriously on every level.
It's not that you guys aren't taking it seriously,
because your reaction to it is as serious as it gets.
It's real.
But you also handle it in a, like, what can we do?
What else can we do?
We're comedians, and we make fun of stuff,
and we gotta just do what we do.
And if a funny thing comes up,
you allow yourselves to handle it in a way that is,
in some ways, light.
You're handling the most dark it in a way that is in some ways light you're
handling the most dark stuff lightly in a light way which kind of like i think is the the comedian's
way of doing that contrast where like every most other true crime podcasts are like somber and
serious and there's like that soundtrack underneath where it's like and their narrative there's no
there's no personal opinion in them yeah they're not saying like these people need replacement kids yeah they're not putting
that out there but as a jumping off point for a bit for like a whole idea for a well yeah it's
like concepts we didn't realize like opinions we didn't know we had until we start telling each
other just like yeah these are the kind of stories where you go, why would anyone ever have children when you know things like this happen in
the world?
Or like,
why,
why are you talking to like,
why?
There's no reason an old,
older dude would ask a child directions.
Like clearly that's,
you're a murderer.
You know,
don't ever.
That's what I said to my kids.
If anybody asked you anything,
run,
disappear,
run,
run into different right into their car.
No, no, Dan, that's not no dan you're
not a parent no dan children know the best directions so yes they really do they're like
little they're like little google maps that's what i consider my son's name is ways
i just know jay and i listened to together which was actually really fun to listen to it together. You guys live at the Orpheum here in LA.
Amazing.
So crazy.
Night of the freaking March.
I know.
Jesus.
So crazy.
Karen, so our first ever interaction with you was when we were doing Apartment 2F.
And you didn't even know this, but they did a showcase for people to do stand up on
our show and you were one of the
stand ups. You did like a little showcase at
in LA at the improv
and it was you and PFT and
you know Paul Hopkins and Patton and all these
other people did this thing and you
were one of our favorite. Jay and I
are like watching all these people that we didn't know because it was
97 and we're in New York and there just wasn't
a lot of sharing back and forth. We're like,
she's so funny. She's so great. And you were
part of this like, I don't know if we
were able to get you on the show or not. I don't think we
did. I don't think so. We did it.
Because everyone we loved, they
I mean, everyone was great, but everyone
we pushed forward the most, they said
no. Also, if I knew it was an audition
that I would have done terribly.
The second i knew
that i was funny you were so funny but if i would have told you at that point and because you've
been in la for so long you're gonna do a show at the orpheum in los angeles and two thousand
fucking people are gonna show up you would have been like no way if i would have told you five
eight years ago you were gonna do a show and you've been in
the business you've written things you've performed you've been in music groups as well as comedy
stuff I mean I'll never forget the time you you performed on the very first Largo show after 9-11
and that was some of the bravest most amazing and you just did everything that you could to just
again hold it together and there's some link to And you just did everything that you could to just, again, hold it together.
And there's some link to this show and that, in that you were kind of talking about this macabre thing that happened.
But you were really making fun of the coverage and the crawl and all that other stuff that was going on, everything around it.
And I was just like, that's amazing.
But the idea that you guys could sell that thing out, it's just incredible to me.
And you just don't know how it's going to come.
So you must be enjoying that thing out it's just incredible to me and you just don't know how it's going to come so you must be enjoying that right now i was joking that like the night we with the first night we met at a party if i had come up to her randomly like hey do you want to
have a murder podcast with me you were like been like who the fuck is this girl how did it happen
i mean how did it really come together it was kind of exactly like that except for she didn't say do
you want to have a murder podcast but it it was essentially we kind of were hanging around the same people and we would see each other at the same parties.
And I have a thing where I just don't like small talk that much or I'm not that interested in like talking about TV shows or whatever.
So I really love it, especially because I don't drink.
So it's that kind of the way I party is like having an actual conversation or getting right to it.
I want to know about deaths in your family.
I want to know about terrible scars on your body.
Like that's going to make it a party for me.
I started telling this horrible story because I was in South by Southwest and I was on the street.
I was standing on the street.
You might remember this, but it was like now three years ago at south by southwest there was a terrible accident yes where
a guy turned it was a high-speed chase he turned up a blocked off street and just plowed up like
30 people i had been standing in the back of that line like literally two minutes before he turned
up that street so i was moments away from being the first person hit by that car.
Why'd you leave?
Because I was...
Was it Andy? You were with Andy, right?
I was with...
Andy Peters.
Andy Peters, that's right.
I was with Andy Peters and...
Great.
Great. Andy Peters. Great.
You know what, guys?
You know what, guys?
Let's not see Andy.
Let's go over here.
Maybe there's some other streets where some cars will come up and kill people.
You would be surprised.
Andy Peters turned into a total dad he grabbed both me and um i'm so sorry because right this
second night yeah we love to party together um he he basically grabbed us and was like do not look
at the street do not look up and he oh that's so sweet he walked us out like Because it was really bad and horrible.
But it was basically my snobbery of, I don't want to have to stand in line.
So I had walked out of the line to go, don't we have passes?
Aren't we special somehow that we could get into this X show without standing here?
Anyway, I thought that that was a good story to tell in the middle of a Halloween party.
A lot of people had just smoked pot.
I don't disagree.
I literally don't disagree.
A lot of comedians there?
A lot of comedians.
People you'd think would love that hideous, gruesome story.
And I truly watched people, like the blood drain out of their face.
You watched their smile fade.
Yes.
They were bumming and then this one like a from two people back was like wait what and like for a second i
was like oh why did it why don't i understand social cues that i should not have told that
story and georgia came like out of the blue of like tell me every single thing that happened
to you and i was like start from the beginning When we film this for the movie version of this that happens,
it's going to be
a push in,
pull out.
Yes.
Pull the dolly out.
Rack focus.
Rack focus right in on her
as it just goes in.
What were you dressed?
You were dressed as like
something in your own clothes.
I was dressed as a nurse.
Yes.
It was a Halloween party
and it was Matt McCarthy's
Halloween party
and the invitation was like,
you have to wear a costume.
So I went to CVS and just bought some scrubs because I was like, everybody looks to wear a costume. So I went to CVS
and just bought some scrubs
because I was like,
everybody looks good in scrubs
and I can wear my clogs
and everything's fine.
And none of my friends,
except for you,
were dressed up,
but no one I knew
at the party dressed up.
So I was like,
this is so embarrassing.
You were comfortable though.
Yeah, that's right.
I had on,
in the movie version,
I'll have to be dressed
as Glenn Danzig with like the fucking, what's right. I had on, in the movie version, I'll have to be dressed as Glenn Danzig
with like the fucking, what's it called?
Devil.
Yeah, I mean, God bless whoever has to.
Does Danzig call his mom on Mother's Day
and just sing that?
Mama.
Yeah, that's what happens.
But I love that.
I love that you guys found each other.
And then you were interested
and then it just sort of and then you were interested and then
it just sort of developed and you were like maybe yeah we do this we started talking about our
favorite murders right and like really getting into it and like one i think like brent sullivan
was at the party with us was like the only other person into it yes and then we would start yeah
and then we were all fighting about the staircase yeah jesse pop was there too and we were all fighting about everybody had a different theory about his level of guilt or
innocence and i was like for me there's somebody that was actually entertaining the owl theory
it's fun it's fun
it is more fun guilty it's very he's guilty of hanging by the pool.
That's what he's guilty of.
Yeah, for sure.
He's guilty of having friends in other states.
But no, it was one of those kind of things where it's like...
This is so organic.
It was super fun.
And it was the kind of thing of everybody having heated discussion.
Right.
You saw the emotion.
You knew that there was something in it.
There was something there. When electricity starts sparking just from a conversation
you know it's compelling yeah and we had a couple like lunches and like got to know each other and
we're talking about murder a lot and it was just and i'm obsessed with podcasts and we both had
other podcasts we're like let's fucking do this yeah georgia was like come over we'll record it
because of course i never do anything i'll just
be like what a nice idea goodbye um but she's like come to my house on this day at this time
and there will be a machine there and it'll all happen and thank god she was that like you know
sort of rigid as far as like making sure you recorded something down yes exactly but it's
just again it's one of those things you've worked on so many things that this jumps into a gesture
i mean cereal was such a big thing that everybody was thinking about and talking about.
And there were times when the serial reporter would get super colloquial with her language and reporting.
It seemed inappropriate because she wasn't funny about it.
Because you guys are able to find the comedy strand a little bit in it.
It becomes this weird release in the darkness.
And you're like, oh, thank God someone said something funny for a second.
And then we're back in it again.
Yeah, I think that is what it is.
It's kind of like what you might actually be thinking, but you would never say it out loud. Because God forbid anybody be, I don't know like i think people interpret it as
disrespectful or something well no i think people listen like thank you thank you for saying that
because i was yeah and we're making fun of like ourselves and the situation and like you know our
own experiences like that it's never meaning it's never me it's more like you react in the way that
people want to react but society and whatnot the norms that we have
say don't do that well and it's what people actually say in private so that's what we get
a lot of is people going this is how my friends and i talk to each other when we talk about this
stuff and my friends who like true crime these are the real conversations that we have you know
and for fans who are just of ours who have not heard their podcast if you love what we do you
will love what they do and
i'm not that you need us to bring our fans to what you do it's quite the opposite but like
i just think that again we'll turn on a whole should we do one let's do it let's do a story
here because we break down the stupid behavior so in honor of you guys coming here there is no
murder uh we tend to not have deaths but this is a little dark if anything this person that I'm about
to talk about will end up
on your show
this is the preamble
Steven Avery like burned a cat
and then is like no maybe that's what happened
to the answer of the question
does he have priors
it is right here we'll give you the
steps to getting to your podcast
sent in by Commore cosmonaut
at chris v82 thank you chris as always guys you can send me stories hashtag dumb people
and the number 82 is his last name i think maybe it's v8 2 v8 2 i don't know v8 2 could be chris v8 to uh lebanon new hampshire police the lebanon of new hampshire yeah
the beirut of new hampshire i'm gonna read you this is the opening sentence to this story and
if i just read this with the people we have in this room we could do the allotted time just on this sentence oh my god police said a lebanon man admitted admitted
to masturbating into a dirty diaper while watching child pornography in a historic lebanon church's
rectory before setting the church and two other buildings on fire and later stabbing two people if you need this to get off i mean most people just need a
little bit of porn hey guys hey this is what i need to get going i almost feel bad for him like
take one of those things and it's awful yeah masturbating into a dirty diaper what the
very bad while watching child pornography in a church before setting that church and two other buildings on fire and later stabbing two people.
Oh, man.
Multitasking.
Yeah.
He's a multitasker.
Get it done.
But my question is, so he's masturbating knowing what's going to happen next.
I'm sure it's all ritualistic.
He has a to-do list, right?
Ritualistic.
Jerk off into a dirty diaper.
You know, renew Netflix.
Burn down this building.
Butter, milk, sugar.
The standard stuff.
He's on a track program.
We're killing people.
What if those were all accidents?
Yeah.
We need to do any of them.
The weirdest thing.
No, his contention is he didn't realize the diaper was dirty.
Right.
That's the only thing.
Yeah, that's the only thing.
Everything else.
You're saying it's a dirty diaper.
I'm saying it had a little bit of urine.
Right.
Very different.
I know everyone out there is picturing a shit-sane diaper, but it just had a little bit of urine.
Dirty is subjective.
Right.
Diapers are built for absorbency.
Could have just been on the ground.
That's right.
Dirty.
Anthony Boivet.
Boivet?
Boivet?
It's Boivet.
No, it's not Boivet.
B-O-I-S-V-E-R-T
I want to say Boisvert
But I know it's Boive
Boive
He was arraigned Tuesday
On two Class B felony accounts of arson
One Class A felony count of arson
Two Class A counts of first degree assault
And two Class B counts of tampering with witnesses and informants
So he's now trying to fix the situation
He's now trying to clean the diaper
of his situation.
You can't blame him.
Look, I'm going to ask you straight up.
When all those things happened,
at what point did he come?
That's a fair...
Second building burning to the ground.
Pre-stabbing people.
Right in that sweet spot.
The stabbing was to let the knight
know he was still into it
even though he is
in his refractory period
yeah yeah
and it just
because when you do
he was still hard
when he stabbed people
but he just wasn't ready
to go again
yeah
I'm just amazed
because when you release
you just don't want to do anything
after that
the fact that he still had it
enough motivation
to stab somebody
he had the knife in his hand
he's like let's just get this over with I know i still have to do this i didn't bring this for nothing well uh lebanon
fire and police responded to first baptist church on school street for a fire excuse me on december
28th it's the holiday season at about 11 20 p.m most wonderful time of the year what is that
downtime between christmas New Year's?
Yeah, it's Wednesday.
It's literally right in the middle.
You're like, what am I going to do?
Right.
Black Friday's over.
He didn't get the widescreen TV he wanted.
So he's going to pay?
While fire and police units were working to extinguish this fire,
a second fire was reported at an occupied structure located on Moscoma Street in Lebanon.
The fire was contained in the basement area and was extinguished.
I can read.
The Lebanon Fire Police Department and the New Hampshire Fire Marshal's Office determined the two fires were suspicious.
Okay.
They received information during their investigation that Anthony Boisvert, Boive, had set the fires,
it was reported that several informants
heard him
at a gathering
earlier that day
bragging about
setting fires previously
in both Lebanon
and Wilder, Vermont.
So this is also
the element
where the person
wants to be caught.
That means this dude
has friends
and he was like
hanging out with
before this happened
and he still was like...
He's invited to gather.
Have you done all your Christmas shopping yeah I got all mine
done and I'm just now just you know
there's a couple other things I have to do
what else do you need to do
what else do you need to do
it's just some private stuff
two public things
what are the public things
you'll see
you're right,
because,
Karen,
I could hear
if you were dead on,
Boive was also reported
saying,
quote,
watch the news
as he was going
to do something
big in Lebanon
on that night.
He called it.
Going to get to orphans.
Give a lot of money
to orphans.
Big in Lebanon is,
I love that with Betty White.
Yeah,
she's such a good show.
Well,
you know what?
Because there's a woman
who's older,
and look, she's got opportunities in the comedy world.
That's right.
In Lebanon.
Remember the gathering that I mentioned?
Well, Wade Bennett, he told a detective that himself and Anthony Boive had a campfire in the woods near the boulders.
I don't know what that means.
On December 28th.
So the gathering was just like a miscreant get-together
around the campfire in the woods.
One of those men
gathering. Boive was heard saying
he was going to do something big
and he keeps saying the same.
We get it, man.
Alright, you got big plans.
If any of your friends said that, wouldn't you be like
are you okay? What are you talking about?
You're doing something big tonight, Georgia.
You're doing something big tonight, Georgia. You'd be suspicious. You're doing something big tonight.
Yeah.
Big.
Okay.
Dan, what?
What are you going to do?
Just say it now at the boulders while we're here.
Big.
Big time?
Yeah.
I also like the idea that he already had a fire going, so like the Olympic torch, he
took something and ran it into town.
Do you care if I take one of these embers?
Because I'm just going to start a couple new ones.
Right.
He had Muhammad Ali's daughter carry the torch for just a portion of the ride.
You don't want to waste a match.
Police interviewed several family members of Boive.
I'm sure they were happy.
Boive's wife, Tanya.
How does he have a wife?
They always do.
They always find love.
Why?
I don't know.
We know people in our lives who you're like, you can't.
You're like, come on.
If this guy has a wife, what is happening?
She called police on January 1st.
I'm assuming this was her resolution.
To not be married to a psycho anymore.
Saying that Boivier had called her, so they're not living together yet, and said he was going to turn himself in
the next day.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to call 24-hour fitness.
I have to call 24-hour fitness.
24-hour fitness to set up my membership.
I want to do that next.
I got a diaper to jerk off into.
I got to renew my membership.
Calling her and then her being like, just do it.
You with all the preambles to what you say, just go do it.
I'd like to see some action here.
Just do it.
He does it, though.
He does it.
I want to be married to a man with follow through.
Right?
I mean, there is something attractive about the fact that he talks and then he does.
It is attractive.
Call me after you've turned yourself in and I'll start to believe you've changed.
Right, yeah.
If you knew this guy
and you knew his past,
if you were going to
try and pick him up,
would you just say to him
in your sexiest voice,
I want to be your
dirty diaper?
You were looking
right at me.
I know, I'm sorry.
That was so,
I zeroed.
Specifically for me.
I want to be your
dirty diaper.
He wanted her to know he was currently at Wade Bennett's house.
Wade Bennett is our guy from the fire.
That's right.
A accomplice.
As police, they were on their way to the 20 Wolf Road, Boulder Condominiums.
Oh, I guess that's where they were at, having a fire in the woods.
They received an emergency call from two people that had been stabbed at the condominiums where the police were headed.
Hey, what are you guys talking about?
Oh, my God! Two people. Did you guys talking about? Oh my god!
Two people.
Did you guys hear about that fire? No!
Hey, why are you guys gathered up around
these boulders?
Aye!
Who left these pampers out? Aye!
Are those clean
or dirty? Aye!
Hey, did you just stab my friend?
Aye!
The caller stated that Boiveier stabbed the two people.
There's a condominium meeting happening in the...
It's a great H.I.
Nobody stabs him.
Yeah, I'll be there.
I'll be there.
The caller stated that Boivier had stabbed the two people and then fled on foot.
Arriving police units found Bennett and Diane Fonin Suffering from several stab wounds
To their head, neck, and body areas
I know exactly what Jay wanted to make
Diane Fonin's work with gorillas
She spent all that time
In the boulders
She came out of the mist
Only to get stabbed in Lebanon
That's horrible
I always love when people talk about
People getting stabbed in the head
Because it's just so like
It's just this.
It's like you're stabbing bone.
I feel like you're not going to survive that one.
No.
But can it go deep?
I mean, can it go through the skull?
I mean, over here, it can, I guess, if you get in that sweet spot.
Fuck.
Jeez.
Arriving police units found Bennett and Diane suffering from their wounds.
Police conducted a
search of Boivier
around 10-14pm.
He was located at
Tannery Lane
attempting to get
into his sister's
apartment.
I don't believe
they had spoken
months.
Boivier was arrested.
He admitted to the
officers that he had
stabbed Bennett and
Fawn and admitted
to starting the fire
at the church along
with breaking into
the CCBA.
I don't know what that is, the condominiums, maybe?
I don't know.
And Senior Center.
His clothes were covered in blood.
He was taken in for questioning and allegedly admitted to investigators
that he started the fire at the First Baptist Church and the 68 Moskama Street.
He also told a detective to, quote, watch the news.
I'm going out with a bang.
Again. He told the cops that?
Yes. They're not going to let you go.
You just told us what you did. Watch the news.
No, we're going to actually get it out of you.
We've already confessed to enough here. Watch tonight's crimes.
You're already in jail.
And meanwhile, people at local news are like,
yeah, watch. There aren't a lot of people watching
local news anymore. Like, please.
Boivey allegedly told detectives that he then went to the church and watched children's porn and or young girl
gymnastics very very similar oh i mean different as a man with a wheelhouse for what he bothers me
i'm never gonna film my daughter and put her online at all please do this on the rectory
computer that church needs some security.
Firewalls, man.
Yes.
How is that an accessible site?
To be fair,
like no one really thinks
late girls gymnastics is sexual,
but fucking creeps.
I mean, he could just be really,
I know,
could just be really into it.
He masturbated into a dirty diaper
that he got from the church's nursery
and threw out your garbage.
He then said he lit
a United States flag on fire in the main church
area, causing the church to go up in flame.
That's church and state.
He's now across a real line.
He definitely wanted to separate
church and state.
He then broke into the CCBA looking for money
at the senior center. He found $50.
Then he left the center and watched...
All in $5 checks that were about to go out
to people.
He then left the center and all in five dollar checks that were about to go out to people. He then left the center and watched the fire at the church for a period of time, which is also one of the creepiest things to me in this that he's just standing there.
It's like watching someone sleep.
Isn't that normal for arsonists?
Don't they like coming out?
Yeah, they need to see the burn.
Yeah, they need to see the burn.
He said he then headed to his sister's house, but on the way, threw clothes onto a couch in the basement of Muscoma Street and set them on fire.
When asked why he started the fire, he said he knew some children lived there.
This guy is going to end up on your show.
What a piece of shit.
Like, when you know this much, we can put him down, right?
We can put him to sleep.
You mean two to the back of the head?
Two to the back of the head.
Tap, tap.
Yeah.
I mean, when I'm a parent, I thought that was always a weird statement when people would say that.
Like, I got to go upstairs and put my kids down.
You're like, how?
Make them face the wall.
Execution style.
Put the hands behind their back.
Blair Witch style.
Blair Witch.
Stand in the corner.
Be quiet.
Face the wall.
This is only going to take a second.
But the other thing, well, you might want to get to the end, but all of these things,
this guy, his name's Tony?
Yep.
Anthony or Tony.
I like to call him Tony.
Me too.
You're closer with him.
Tony B.
Is screaming at the top of his lungs, I was molested by a priest.
Is anyone else getting that at all?
All the way.
All of it.
Who was also the coach of the gymnastics team.
Yes.
Who also ran the daycare center?
Yes.
And the diaper manufacturer in town.
Probably where it happened was in the daycare center.
Yeah.
I mean, he's putting it all together.
He's giving us all the clues.
Laying out the clues of his sexual history.
That's right.
And a fire, too.
A fire is like what says, look over here, bigger than a fire.
Than a fire.
He's going gonna do something big
watch the news guys
watch the news
all he needed to do
after this was
take a nap
and wet the bed
for it to fit in
the trifecta
that's called
hitting for the cycle
I watched the news
it was the national news
no
local
local news
no
you didn't say local
you said watch the news
you're gonna have to do it again then
cause I missed it.
It was on the 9 o'clock news.
I was watching Extra.
Is that what you meant?
No.
The entertainment news?
No.
Geez, Dan.
He admitted to stabbing the two people because they had talked to police about him being there on the 28th.
Honey, he's just going to come by for a little bit.
It's between Christmas and New Year's.
What's the worst going to happen?
I just get weird feelings around him.
He smells like diapers.
He wants to have a word with us
I don't know why
he also
allegedly admitted
to starting the fire
in the abandoned house
because he told
he told detectives
that he burnt
the house down
because kids
used that building
to do drugs
so he's also
trying to fight back
oh yeah
it's one way
it's part of the
it's part of the
D.A.R.E. program
that's right
we'll get out on this.
Boivier's sister, Andrea Gilbert, was also arrested for falsifying evidence, a Class B felony, after detectives searched her cell phone and said she tried erasing the data contained on it.
Which part was it?
I imagine text from him saying where he was.
I just started a fire.
Watch the news. She's like, I don't even need was. I just started a fire. Watch the news.
She's like, I don't even need this.
I don't even need this.
I'm going to ask you guys.
How old is Anthony Boive?
Too much fun leaves marks in life.
Living hard, you'll pay the price.
Who is going to get it right?
Guess the age. Guess the price. Who is gonna get it right? Guess the age.
Guess the age.
In my mind.
This is a game we like to play.
Yeah, this is a game we like to play.
We know what we know about him.
In your mind, how old is he?
I was picturing a late 30s dude.
Okay.
But now that you ask.
Yeah.
And Fire in the Woods, 19.
19.
Can you give them
a specific number
because we are going
38
38
19
Jason Sklar
this is a 58 year old guy
58
that's a lot of
pent up anger
and that would probably
mean it's not
his first
fire
yeah this is
fire stabbing
rodeo
I'm gonna tuck in
and say 43
43 years old tuck in the say 43. 43 years old.
Tuck in the middle there.
Now, if you guys remember from one of your episodes, you gave the stats of the average age of a murderer.
29.
31.
The average age is 28.
This gentleman is 27 years old.
So you know what's next.
Karen.
Karen.
Karen wins.
And you know what's next.
Well, in his defense, his Saturn is returning, and he's becoming
who he wants to be.
Seven-year process is ending.
I hope that is his defense.
My Saturn was returning.
I didn't know. There's no defense. That was a great way
to kick off with these guys.
I was like, this has it all.
This story has it all.
Yeah, it really does.
It unfortunately feels like America right now
that America is like
a diaper that's been
jerked off into
and then the flag burnt
just like running
from one crime
to the next
it's like I don't know
I think I can get
child porn on it
scorched earth
scorched earth
I don't care
everyone's like
this is bad
watch it on the news
and people don't get it
yeah
exactly right
alright well with that
let's go to our first break

Dumb People Town.
Of course, subscribe and rate and review this podcast.
If you haven't subscribed to My Favorite Murder,
please get on that train.
There's a lot of people there already.
If you want to...
I have to thank you
to everyone who came out
and saw us record
our one hour stand up special
in Chicago last weekend.
I'm sorry I did so much time, guys.
Dan, why did you do an hour?
I was feeling it.
That audience was...
You're supposed to set us up.
No, we are recording this
before we go out there.
Dan, you will be great.
So we're already saying
thank you to those people
who will be coming out,
but this already happened,
so thank you. But you can feel, even though it hasn't yet, how much fun it's going to be.
Oh, it's going to be great.
It was great.
It was great.
You guys, time is a flat circle.
It is.
So it's just, make it what it is.
And that's what we're doing.
Were you guys into that show?
Were you into True Detective?
First season, I was insanely into it.
And then second season, I became obsessed with hating it.
insanely into it and then second season
I became obsessed
with hating it
except for I honestly
felt like the
Colin Farrell
Rachel McAdams part
was insanely hot
and awesome
so hot
and he was great
he was great
he was so good
but Vince Vaughn
I've never seen him worse
and I've always been
a huge fan of his
huge fan
we got to
have you ever worked
with him on anything before
we got a chance
to work in a movie
with him
and did a scene with him
and what I loved about him is that we improvised a movie with him and did a scene with him.
And what I loved about him is that we improvised a ton of stuff and he was right there with it.
That guy can improvise so well and he just loved it. Maybe he was too much in a weird box.
He wasn't doing what he does best.
Yes.
And that put him in a disadvantage.
Truthfully, I like that he went out there to try and do it.
You know what I mean?
I like that he wasn't who you thought was going to to try and do it. You know what I mean? I like that he wasn't
who you thought
was going to get that role.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Maybe he like knew
it was going to be shitty
and he was just like,
fuck this,
I'm going to blow it up then.
You know what I mean?
You're just like,
no stakes
because it's going to fucking suck.
I'm taking it all down.
You know,
there are parts of it,
I have to say,
the waiting for it to turn
was compelling. You know what I mean? The waiting for things to happen in it to me was, I have to say the waiting for it to turn was compelling.
You know what I mean?
The waiting for things to happen in it to me was, I was like, all right, I'm going to keep watching because I want to see how they turn this thing.
I just liked that part of the drama of that season was a civics-based plot.
Very much.
Which is like, who gives a shit what happens in a fake city of industry because
basically they took yeah the city of industry it was city of industry but they just renamed it and
then it's just like well who who knows what's going to happen down here and it's like who gives
a shit this is not the wire we're not in baltimore chinatown very interesting let me ask you guys
this though as much as karen as you said you don't like talking about TV shows in small talk.
A show that I love that I feel like perfectly examines like the carelessness of murder or like the tension of people that leads up to violent acts.
Season two of Fargo.
Oh, just so good.
Right.
And the cop work or the scene when I got it.
Why am I not remembering his name?
He plays the sheriff. He plays the cop, the young cop. when, and I got it. Why am I not remembering his name? He plays the sheriff.
He plays the cop,
the young cop.
Oh,
Patrick Wilson.
Yes.
When he's looking,
uh,
he's looking at the couple,
Kristen Dunst and,
um,
Jesse Plemons.
And he's like,
he's like,
you have a two on,
you have a face of people who don't know the trouble they're in yet.
And I've seen this face before because death is upon them and like murder and violence
that shows pacing
and build of suspense
and even just
offhanded careless murder
that diner scene
oh yeah
yeah
and then the cop work
the cop work after it
to be like just looking at
trying to figure it out
cause you know it all
you know it all
and you watch them figure it out
yeah
two years ago
when Kristen Dunst
did not win
the Golden Globe
I just tweeted out
and said
I don't think
the Hollywood Foreign Press
watched Fargo
that's the only
explanation I have
didn't she win it
for Temple Grandin
no
she was
it's Claire Danes
oh sorry
she
she was ridiculous
at first I saw her
on the first episode
I was like
what the fuck
this is dumb
and then I was like
amazed by her I'm a victim too I'm a victim too first episode I was like What the fuck This is dumb And then I was like Amazed by her
I'm a victim too
I'm a victim too
Oh my god
You know I've been through things
Nobody thinks about me
The
When they slowly pull back
And it's that thing
Like I remember watching
Myself realize
That she is a hoarder
Yeah
That she's
She's trying to collect
A life she wanted to have
And can't have
In that house
Like everything about that is so
relatable and so brilliant and then fucking gene smart as the head of that mafia family
it's just you never see women on tv i wish no never amazing did you you guys
it's not an animated show but we were in a voice room like a voice room with her and
i was like man she's, for an animated show,
like she's doing so much dramatic work on a comedy.
She was putting, like, she would, in a scene,
like fully lock eyes and act with somebody,
which is so rare in an animated comedy.
Like they would have a scene and I was like,
I wish someone was filming this right now
because they're acting in a scene right now
and the microphones are incidental.
It was pretty awesome to watch.
Amazing.
Agreed.
She was incredible.
Because in that show,
if you just break it down,
she's a woman losing everything
trying to hold on to her family.
Yeah.
That's it.
That's it.
And she loves people in spite of themselves.
She loves people for what they can do.
And we know those people.
Yeah.
I mean, do you guys see, obviously, through all the things you've done, you obviously
start to see patterns forming in behavior and certainly in murderous behavior.
I'm talking about from the podcast.
Like, you start to see, because we see it in this show.
Like, as soon as something happens, we're like, oh, this guy is this guy.
Yeah.
This guy is this person. This person was dared into the, like, this guy is this guy. This guy is this person.
This person was dared into the, like, you start to see that.
Am I right?
Yeah.
Well, I think we both have, you know, specific murders that we're interested in.
And a lot of those have patterns for sure.
But I mean, we try to get go all over the place and not just do like the, you know, child serial killer murders.
But there are those like, it is funny how often drugs are in it so it's that
kind of thing where you just go man i wonder if you know it's some terrible little town where
probably someone had no choice but to just start getting strung out on meth where would this person
have done this crime or these horrible crimes if they weren't strung out on meth if they weren't
out of their minds on whatever drug they're on
like stuff like that
because yeah
there's drug related
murder crimes
mental illness related
murder crimes
because people don't
just like
they're not born
into the world
like let me kill
some people
some people are
I think the ones
I like
the patterns with that
a lot
especially in the 70s
and 80s
are that the women
are fucking polite.
And the women help a guy carry shit to his car or want to get photos taken of them in the desert.
And yeah, the pattern there is just like, the pattern, not to victim blame.
Assuming that someone's a good person.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Assuming the best in somebody and someone who's been rejected probably over and over prior to that yeah i once heard it i can't
remember where i got somebody somebody had said that if if they had had a son or daughter that
they were like raising be like this person is inherently evil they were like i all i would
try to get them to do is join the Marines because they would either then die a hero doing what they were way into.
Or get to kill people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or they'd die.
Or I'm saying they would die.
Yeah.
Or they would just be like the most successful and they'd just stay on the front line because that's where they want to be.
Yeah.
Something that you guys touch on a lot on the show that freaks me out the most is the people who get other people to do stuff with them yeah those people who like become
a cop so like yeah i'll help you catch girls that are like that yeah the obsessive even bury a body
it's like you don't even you didn't even do the crime and you're gonna help your buddy
bury a body bury his girlfriend that you were like friends with it's crazy crazy or the women who do it with their
boys like these men that they i was just watching this one and i i want to do it so i won't talk
about it too much but there was a sunset strip killer in la and it was basically this woman who
was very bland looking who was a nurse in real life and this man who is her boyfriend. This is who you based your Halloween costume on. Exactly.
That's who I was deep down in my heart.
But yeah, that thing where it's like if you're a young girl that's trying to make money
on the Sunset Strip and a car pulls up
and this very mom-ish looking woman
is like, come and have a good time
with my husband.
Then you're like, oh, I'm somehow in good hands.
We're okay here.
Everything's okay. There's a woman.
There's someone on my side.
Yeah, there's like, she won't let anything happen.
Meanwhile, she's there to make sure something happens.
Like, it's so sinister.
Or the hitchhiker that's like, oh, it's a couple.
It's a nice couple.
I'm safe here.
And then, you know.
You live under their bed for three years.
Exactly.
Seven years.
Seven years.
She lived under there for seven years.
That story, the craziest part of that story is that he took her home to see her family
and then they went back.
Took her back.
And she didn't do anything.
She was broke.
She was reeked.
She was broken.
She was reeked.
Reeked from Game of Thrones.
That's right.
She was broke.
Yes.
And she honestly believed that there was a system in place that if she said a word, they
would just go in and kill her whole family when she left.
So she was doing it for them.
Protecting them.
Amazing.
What's the number of assumed active serial killers at any given time in the U.S.?
I've heard before.
I want to say it's 20.
It's a lot.
Is it?
By the way, if it's more than one, it's too many.
I don't know.
One feels right.
One's good.
Did you see The Killing Fields?
Or what was the one about the Long Island?
Oh, the Long Island serial killer?
Yeah, I think it was The Killing Fields.
And they keep saying, like, you know, there's these three murders or, like, serial killers across the nation.
And everyone's like, they have the same M.O.
It must be one guy.
And they're like, no, it's probably, like like three or four different people because that happens all the time it's not like
there's one dude you know and a lot of them are cross-country truckers which is the craziest
where they can go anywhere yeah and be everywhere again how they came up with the show ice ice road
all right dan do we have another yes we do okay this do. Get in it. Okay. This is goofier. Sent in by Garrett Price, at Garrett underscore Price.
There's no I, I just put that in there.
A driver found passed out at a Springett's Berry Township intersection.
Springett's Berry.
To me, it sounds like a yogurt that doesn't taste well.
Hey, let's take the kids to Springett's Berry.
It's an off road.
I don't want to go there.
You have to. You don't want sugar-free
yogurt? What's your problem?
I don't like it. They have saltines
to put on top of it.
Just get the aspirin flavor and enjoy it.
Their only topping is 7-Up
and saltines. I'll have a small scoop
of Tums flavor.
Tums are a topping.
Baby aspirin and saltiness.
Give him a little more chalk and that's all you get.
That's all you get.
Can I have a little cup?
I wanted to try the Pepsi at AC.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Not today.
You already have one.
Three toppings.
I'll take a modium.
Spring-It's-Berry Township.
A driver found passed out at a Spring-It's-Berry Township intersection while, quote, utilizing,
I don't know if that needs to be in quotes.
That's jerking off.
Utilizing a penis pump fled from officers. Okay.
He was passed out at the intersection driving a car while utilizing a penis pump.
He had pumped so much that it just took it out.
Blood rushes.
I feel a little.
Wait, don't you utilize one of those right before the act?
I don't.
He's driving on his way?
I definitely don't know.
Oh, okay.
Oh, God.
Why hasn't...
I would never know.
You use it when you can.
Why hasn't...
Has Reebok made a penis pump?
I feel like they need to.
Oh, my God.
They're the foreground of pumping.
Yeah, you'd think.
They should get in there.
He fled from officers prompting a brief chase.
It was longer than that, according to a charging doctor.
It usually isn't this short.
Usually, yeah, my chase is run.
Sorry.
Chad Michael Kagan.
I love his show with Jordan Peele.
Jordan Peele, yeah.
Chad Michael Kagan.
I love this, too.
When someone who's reporting on this feels like,
you know what these people need to know about this person?
Everything.
Chad Michael Keegan of 43 Meridian Lane.
What?
Just in case you wanted to.
I'm going to write him a letter.
You want to drive by his house and throw pumps at his window?
That feels illegal.
It does, right?
43 Meridian Lane.
The guy fell asleep with a dick pump.
Yeah.
Got caught by the cops.
Not assaulting anyone.
No one got hurt.
Very dumb.
Guess anybody wanted to know where he is.
Yeah, but who?
They're like, let's ring him up.
Yeah.
This is like back when they used to break down old gay bars and then they'd call the
reporters first before the cops got there.
Yeah.
Wait, which Chad Michael Kagan are we talking about?
Right.
The one on Victory?
No, no, no.
The one on Meridian.
Meridian, yes.
It's Meridian.
He faced a second degree misdemeanor charge of fleeing or attempting to elude police,
filed December 22nd.
Again, holiday season.
According to court records.
What happened?
What have you been up to?
He has not been arraigned.
Guys, it's the second time in 18 months he's been accused of causing a police chase.
When they say causing, I hope that means that he got someone else to do one.
They're not going to
follow you. Township officers
were called to the intersection of Haynes Road
and Mountain Rose Avenue
shortly after 5 a.m.
A report of a man slept over
the steering wheel.
The first officer on the scene found Kagan
passed down the driver's seat of a borrowed
Volkswagen Touareg. The worst a borrowed Volkswagen Touareg.
The worst kind of Volkswagen Touareg.
What are you going to do with this, man?
Isn't that basically like the Ford Aerostar of Volkswagen?
Yes.
What am I going to do with it?
I'll probably just use a penis pump and then pass out at an intersection.
What do you think I'm going to do with it?
Either that or drop a bunch of kids off at school.
I don't know.
What do you care? You're just lending it to me right why do you give a shit i don't own it the first officer found him passed out of the borrowed to her egg with a penis pump
in operation charge of dog mistake how does that work i i really don't know how a penis pump is a
hand or battery powered apparatus considered one of the few treatment
options for erectile dysfunction.
That's what he's running from.
Guess who they went to to get that from?
Who?
The Mayo Clinic.
That's what they want to spend their time on, telling everyone how to properly use a
penis bump.
So, I've been working for the Mayo Clinic for a long time.
Oh, yeah.
You guys do a lot of cancer advancements over there.
Not really working on the cancer stuff.
More like pediatric,
rehabil...
No, unfortunately,
we haven't really
gotten into that area yet.
Okay.
So heart problems.
No, we're not doing
the heart stuff either.
That's a whole other wing.
Are you in the funding
area of the Mayo Clinic?
Not in the fundraising
or any sort of that
right there.
Cleft palate.
No.
We're doing great work
on that,
but that is not
my department specifically.
What are you into these days?
We're doing a lot of research.
Penis pumps.
Just how they work.
You heading up that division?
You know, look, sometimes people use them and pass out, and then newspaper organizations will ask us for quotes, and I am that.
We're just trying to infuse the program with a lot of excitement.
It seemed like a dying program for a long time, and then we have really tried to build
it up again.
We've injected it with light.
Gotta work those phones, you know?
Just keep getting funding from some old dude in a mansion.
My favorite sentence in this story, the driver's side window was down when the officer approached.
He could smell a strong order of alcohol.
This is what made me laugh.
After which, it took, quote quote several minutes of yelling to wake
pagan i just imagined the cop middle of the street hey sir sir sir i need you to wake up
all he needed to do was flick that penis pump like two or three times
i'm ready i'm ready hello uh then here's is this oh i mean i know we just came out the super bowl and i know i know you
guys are huge is this in is this inflate gate yeah do we call this that at sklar brothers if
you'd love to say how much you love that no we're not doing anything with menopause or anything no
nothing about menopause what are you working on? We're doing research. Okay. It's really hard.
But I do have a badge that says Mayo Clinic on it.
I drive, I park at the Mayo Clinic.
That's where I work. That's good.
Gotcha.
I would stop there when telling people what you do.
Yeah, just let them know it's research and that's it.
After being woken up, Kagan turned off the SUV's ignition after being told to do so.
He said he was on his way home from a York City bar.
Nothing new about it.
Kagan's speech was slurred
and his eyes were glassy and bloodshot.
The documents state, that was all in quotes.
After other officers arrived, Kagan
quote, slowly reached for the ignition
button and turned the vehicle back
on.
We see you. We see your finger.
Sir, sir, I see your finger
turning. Don't worry about what I do with my hands, man.
He was ordered to turn off the vehicle but instead put the Touareg into drive and took off at a high rate of speed.
Police gave chase with lights and sirens.
That's for the kids, I imagine.
Yes.
They activated all those, but lost sight of the SUV on Kingston Road.
They filed a fleeing or looting charge, but they did not file a drunk driving charge.
A little key for everybody else that wants to break the law.
Once they left,
they never determined
if he was drunk.
He could have gone home
and started pounding vodka.
That's right.
Yeah.
And what do you say, Dan,
always if you're drunk?
If you're drunk in your car
and you pass out,
take the keys out.
Take the keys out of the ignition.
That's right.
It proves intent to drive.
It does not if they're out.
Or don't drink and drive.
I just know people,
but I know a guy
who was driving home and was like, I should not be driving, pulled over to go
to sleep for hours, maybe the next day, whatever, but left the keys ignition, tapped up on the
window, got a DUI.
Fuck.
And he was like, you left.
The cop was not.
Gotcha.
But he did take the penis pump off.
Oh, that's smart.
In the passenger seat with a seatbelt around it, which was really weird.
Here's a special seat for the pump. Sitting up seat with a seatbelt around which was really weird here's a special seat for the pump
sitting up
and with the seatbelt
across
facing away
from the windshield

2014
little back story
Kagan was charged
with fleeing police
during that year
on June 3rd
on the Kingston
and Meriden roads
same area
in that case
he was spotted
doing 50 in a 35
and took off when police tried to stop him.
50 in a 35 is not that bad.
No.
We do it every day.
Every day.
I don't go over 40.
Dan.
I bet you guys anything through this whole fucking thing, he's never had his license suspended once.
Not once.
It's just not that easy.
Are you saying because he's white?
He is white.
He looks like that guy that ran up all those medical device...
What's that guy's name?
Patton.
The EpiPen.
Destroyed him on Twitter.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, Martin Shkreli?
Yeah.
He looks like that guy.
So good.
I thought Martin Shkreli was...
That Shkreli was like Skrillex.
Same guy.
Same thing.
His DJ name?
It's a mixture of hard rock and dubstep.
Kagan was going so fast in that police pursuit that an SUV he was driving, I'm assuming borrowed,
launched after going over a speed hump.
Police stopped him in pursuit because it was unsafe.
They didn't keep going after him, but they ended up finding him.
Police tracked him down later that night, and Kagan told them, quote,
he began to have an issue with irritable bowel syndrome and was running from the cops because he defecated in the car.
This guy has the best excuses.
That is the male version of Eye of My Period.
Where you think if you say it, no one's going to ask any more questions.
Get out of here.
Oh, fine then.
See you later.
I just didn't want you to stop me in that condition.
As part of a deal, the fleeing charge was dropped.
He pled guilty
to careless driving
he could not be reached
for comment Monday
so that worked
that I was going to
shit myself guys
I just didn't want you
to see me like that
keep it in mind
it is unclear
whether or not
it's the mail period
it is unclear
whether or not
he has borrowed an attorney
borrowed an attorney
wow
or shit
I mean
he
like I hate to say it
what are you doing with my Turek, man?
I don't know, man.
But he really did, like, if he does that, I bet he shit the bed with the whole.
No, he shit the Turek.
He shit the Turek.
Could that become a new term?
Shit the Turek.
What if it's the Turek that's making him so crazy?
Like, he gets into it and he's just like, oh, my God, I finally am alive.
I'm either stretching out my dick or shitting in here tonight.
I just got to do something in the torii.
That's it, man.
Ooh, that's a great way to go to our next break.
Guys, we're off and running.
Yes, we are.
This is Dumb People Town.
This is how we do it.
Their podcast is called,
I keep wanting to call it Making a Murder.
My favorite murder.
And it is fantastic.
It's on Feral Audio
here check it out
and subscribe to it
and rate it
and all that wonderful stuff
one more segment
one more segment
and then we have a voicemail
from Javier Bardem
he actually left us
a voicemail
very excited about that
fan of the show
fan of the show
fan of us
friend of ours
and we'll catch that
after the break
we'll be right back
stick around
make a sound
there's more
Don't People Town, in the break, we were just talking about your Facebook community, which Dan was saying was a brilliant idea on your part to make it private.
Just also because there is this sense of acceptance into this community.
And then you said people have meetups and communicate with each other.
I mean, it must be cool to watch your fans connecting.
It is.
I mean, everyone's so fucking supportive of each other.
And it's not just about the podcast
that they're interested it's like it's a place for them to talk about their interest in true
crime that they don't have anyone else in their lives to talk about it with so i mean we i secretly
scroll it now and like when i like when i start crying sometimes when people are being so nice
to each other one of the things i love about the your guys's show is it's a conversation like you
don't present yourself as any sort of authoritarian figures on what you're talking about.
So you tell people, if we're getting this wrong, just tell us.
We take that a lot, and some people love letting us know.
That was a fake story, bro.
You guys got fooled.
It was like wrestling.
The comedy wasn't fake.
We made jokes off of a fake story.
Still had to fly through the air comedically
and get a double leg kick to the head of this story,
and we did it.
Yeah, but you're part of this discussion, too.
So just like I'm sure somebody will listen to this
and be like, it's actually, on average,
there's 23 serial killers happening in your entire time.
Did you know the town is called Worcester?
I didn't fucking know that.
People are pissed at me.
What did I say, Worcestershire?
Worcestershire. Worcestershire well speaking of
you guys
we talked about
the Orpheum show
you guys have shows
at the world famous
Beacon in New York
yeah
crazy
and that's happening
when March
right
sometime
yes
yes
go to the Facebook page
and find out
when that's gonna be
yeah go find it
are you guys big
Durst fans and that whole...
Fred Durst?
Fred Durst, yes.
We love Fred Durst.
Fred Durst murders were amazing.
I can't believe...
He murdered Sperm in the grotto of the Playboy Mansion, and they knew it was him.
I don't know.
Yeah, the documentaries are great, but I think I'm loyal to the smaller shows and the episodic ones i think are really exciting i actually have uh
robert durst's um trial is on the 15th and i have it in my phone on the calendar
his la you mean in the la one why because i'm mad at you now why dan if you're his defense attorney
this is your entire case you say did he drive down there did he not tell anybody he was
going there did he want to surprise his friend that he was going to show up on christmas and
see her yes and do i need to prove to you that he loved her and took care of her no look at all
these letters and all these checks when he walked in that house she was already dead and who would
be the first suspect he would so he left but because he cared about her he didn't want her
to be lying there dead with no one ever knowing about it so he left but because he cared about her he didn't want her to be lying there
dead with no one ever knowing about it so he went the extra effort and notified someone that she was
dead in that house none of those things mean he killed her it just means he cares about her and
karen's so mad right and beverly should be spelled b-e-v-e-r-l-e-y it wouldn't matter
he was in distress over his friend dying yes Yes, he wrote that letter. He cared about her being left in that house dead.
The thing that's amazing about Robert Durst is that he is smart enough to have flown to,
I mean, it's the tip-top of California where no one ever goes to drive back down.
I just wanted to see the coast.
Do you think his priors will be admissible in court?
Will your priors be admissible in court?
I think that way.
He's guilty.
Why would they have any bearing on what I've done?
They've got a lot of bearing.
Robert, they have a lot of bearing.
You've done a lot of bad things, Robert.
I've been self-sufficient.
What does that mean?
I took a sandwich.
Wait a minute.
Are you going to blame all this on Douglas, too?
Douglas?
Who knows where Douglas was? Douglas knew I would be. Well, he was getting a minute. Are you going to blame all this on Douglas, too? Douglas? Who knows where Douglas was?
Douglas knew I would
be. He didn't.
Are you listening to my favorite murder podcast?
I have my own personal favorite
murders. Okay.
And missing persons. Oh, really?
Like who? My wife.
She's missing.
Yeah, we don't know that she's dead.
It's been a long time.
But the thing about that, he, because it was Texas, and if someone's in your house illegally,
you can pretty much do whatever you want to them.
So that's how he got up, because the murder had to happen to his friend.
Just the way they broke it down.
Had to happen in his house.
But all you had to do, and God, that breaks my heart.
When I saw a documentary where they asked that cop, they go, can you 100% prove this wasn't self-defense?
And the guy just looks at him like, no.
Yeah.
So he'll get off for this, too, because you have nothing that actually puts him there being the person that killed her.
You definitely have him being the person who was there, found her body, and told police that she was there.
Yeah, but you know who?
You think anyone on that jury hasn't seen?
Yes.
Tons of people have it. Really? That's the sad thing... Yes. Tons of people have it.
Really?
That's the sad thing, too.
Tons of people have it.
It's so sad that people don't have cable.
That's the real crime here, right?
That's all they have to do is find 12 people
who haven't gotten an HBO Go password.
That is the truth.
12 people with poor parents.
I'll give out my password.
You can have it.
Dan, do we have one last story?
We do.
We do.
There's enough to infer from this that it just made me laugh.
Okay.
I'm going to read the headline.
Why not?
Let's do it. Florida sex party house dubbed the sausage castle destroyed by fire.
Good.
What did that smell like?
The sausage castle's on fire. You're burpee. The sausage castle's on fire.
You're Abe Freeman.
The sausage castle.
And they say dubbed,
which means there's
someone else
trying to get people
to call it by the right name.
Right.
And everybody else is like,
that's a sausage castle.
1520 McClure Street.
No, it's sausage.
Sent in by Stephanie Aiken
at Steph Run Jacks.
I don't know what that is.
Runs all caps.
She's a jogger.
Yeah, there you go.
Thanks, Stephanie.
She's Aiken for some sauce.
She used hashtag don't know.
I doubt it.
Aiken for some sausage over at the castle.
Part of me hopes that she read this and said to anyone in her personal life,
it was like, I knew that place was that.
Or maybe to no one in particular,
out loud like in the supermarket.
To her toast.
Yeah.
I knew it.
I knew it.
St. Cloud, Florida.
The notorious former nuisance
sex party house
dubbed The,
and only Sausage Castle,
but The isn't in quotes.
So it's kind of like Eagles.
Let's go to Sausage Castle.
Scorpions.
Remember when you went to the Scorpions concert with Dave Anthony?agles. Let's go to Sausage Castle. Scorpions. Remember when you went
to the Scorpions concert
with Dave Anthony?
I went with Dave Anthony
to the Scorpions concert.
And you called it
the Scorpion.
And someone reprimanded me
and said it's just Scorpions.
It's just Scorpions.
I was like,
Shermans don't use articles.
Pretty sure we're talking
about the same thing.
I have to stop myself
from correcting people
every time they say the eagles.
It's just eagles.
It's just eagles.
Is it the Philadelphia
football team or the band? Just eagles. They're never going to get popular if you keep calling them the wrong name. It's just Eagles. All right. It's just Eagles. Are you talking about the Philadelphia football team or the band?
Just Eagles.
They're never going to get popular
if you keep calling them
the wrong name.
Yeah, that's true.
That's very true.
So this is called
the Sausage Castle.
No, just Sausage Castle.
Sorry.
Sausage Castle.
And it's a sex party house.
But if it's a sausage castle,
it's a gay male sex party.
Or maybe just too much sausage.
Or maybe it's just the architecture has a kind of
and a bunch of people fucking there yeah why not just so happens it smells like sausage
the former nuisance party house dubbed sausage castle burned to the ground in saint cloud
wednesday morning and officials have called the cause suspicious. Oh, shit.
The fire was reported early Wednesday at the property of the 3800 block of Hickory Tree Street.
In case anybody wants to do a walking tour of these stories.
It was the neighbors.
I bet you anything it was the fucking neighbors.
I've had it.
Right?
Yeah.
Donna, I've had it.
Where are you going with the long matches?
Well, call him.
Call him. And you know that Mike, as Donna yelled, set that fire with fireplace footlong matches.
Yeah.
Well, I'll get a Dura Flame and set this whole thing off.
That's right.
You know my ability to call the cops on a party.
You know that.
I've made that very clear before in this life. Jason is 9 30 9 30. calm up you know i smell weed i
think i heard a rape i'll say whatever whatever it takes whatever it takes to get you out there
to shut this down we had to do that in high school my sister and i called the cops on our own
party it had gotten too big it had gotten so big that we went to the Catholic high school in town, but kids from both the other public high schools were showing up.
And it was like, we didn't, at one point we looked at each other across the living room like, what the fuck?
Those fucking atheists.
Who are these people?
And I just went upstairs like, there's a terrible party happening up there.
Oh, I love it.
When the atheists show up.
We don't want those heathens at our party.
Anything can happen then.
Firefighters were able to put out the fire, but the house was a complete loss.
No information was released on why investigators have dubbed the blaze suspicious.
27 round beds burnt to a crisp.
Was it a complete loss or was it a complete win?
Everyone's happy.
One guy, just tears rolling down his face.
Wouldn't it be great if the water beds put the fire out?
The second they burst, it was all over.
We're good, guys.
Don't worry about it.
When's the last time you laid down on a water bed?
Seventh grade.
When was the last time?
I would have to say when I was
eight years old, my Aunt Ginny
and Uncle Brandy had a water...
Their master bedroom was straight out of like...
Which is the man?
Or was it the same sex marriage?
No, it was...
And you had to call one of them uncle.
Brandy was the man.
They had...
Was that his name or was that his drink?
And his favorite song.
Yeah.
They had oil, velvet paintings of Elvis in their bedroom
it was like
my sister and I
always laugh about it
because I was like
if there was
any time
in any place
where a child
should have been molested
it was in that bedroom
where we were constantly
like kicking it
in bathing suits
on a waterbed
and nothing ever
happened to us
just watching TV
watching Clint Eastwood movies
filthy
disgusting and I just I remember being at Ken being like it was always so hard Waterbeds. Just watching TV. Those sheets were filthy, I bet. Filthy. Disgusting.
And I just, I remember being a kid and being like,
it was always so hard to get out of a waterbed.
You rolled out of a waterbed.
And the railings were just pure wood, no cushion, right?
Yes, yes.
They were the hardest things.
You'd crack your knees, just, yeah, face.
You would keep your head up so nothing hit you in the face.
Turns out that's what's sexy.
That is what's sexy.
Like getting out of a pool is easier.
Yeah.
Wouldn't it be great?
This might not be even worth the time.
But if we could pull the prank on one of our comic friends that we get their hotel room in some random place to have a waterbed in it when they go into the hotel room and it's just a waterbed.
It's complicated.
And tell the hotel that to, or the hotel
that they can't move rooms.
Refuse.
Make them stay in that room.
I would just love that.
I would take some money
but that would be great.
Would it keep you up at night
or would it be,
were they as relaxing
as they were now?
It would be horrible, right?
It would be bad.
I'd get nauseous.
You'd get all like,
you wouldn't be able
to adjust ever.
Your feet are like
three feet higher
than your head.
Your butt's like
near the bottom
of the...
Horrible.
No information was released
on why they dubbed it
suspicious,
the burn that is.
Sausage Castle
is well known
in St. Cloud
as a place where people
would gather
for wild sex parties
and shoot guns
in the front yard.
Oh.
Guys,
you fuck whoever you want,
you shoot guns
in the front yard
at this house.
But what if I want to shoot in the backyard?
No, backyard.
You do that at your own house.
No, our neighbor gets real pissed.
Marty will call the cops.
I'm going to just shoot on the side of the house.
No, no.
No, I got to go front.
Front across the road.
The house was the creation, which makes it feel like Devil in the White City to me, of
Mike Busey.
Mike Sausage. which makes it feel like devil in the white city to me of mike sausage mike busey a social media sensation who carved out five acres of saint cloud swampland and turned it into a party house
mike busey is the nephew of actor gary busey i was gonna joke and say i know you were i that's
why i rolled through so we could get to the truth. Just to call him a social media sensation makes me hate everything about him.
But he can be a great guy.
How proud is Gary of Mike?
I don't know that Gary's aware of Mike.
Or anything.
Yeah, you could have stopped at aware.
Yeah.
I wonder how big Mike's teeth are.
I would love to see if he is a true Busey or if he's related on the mother's side.
Can I shoot it out in the backyard?
No.
No.
No.
I have to keep telling people.
It has to be front.
I put it on social media.
I am a sensation.
How are people not reading this?
The house has been vacant for about six months, which that's just a sad Tom Waits song.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Those are stories guys i love it those are great stories well before we
go sausage palace now i know we said we uh have this voicemail but uh we have a very special
voicemail from javier bardem and i'm glad that he's calling us and i'm glad he still wants to
share let's take a listen these messages messages are for the Sklar brothers.
This is Javier Barra, and I'm calling you because I have something that I want to give to you.
As you know, I'm going through a divorce right now, and it's taking up a lot of my time.
Between that and all of my various acting endeavors, I do not have time to pursue other enterprising ideas that I have.
And as you know, I'm very entrepreneurial and I have an idea that I think you will enjoy
and I'm going to give it to you and you can do with it what you want.
It is a popcorn that you can make on your stove top, but the popcorn is already inside of this, like a picture, like a little pie crust container.
Like maybe it's made of foil or it's some kind of disposable cheap tin and then it's covered up.
It has a handle that comes out and so it almost looks like a pan and you put it directly onto
your stove top and instantly it has all the oil and the corn that's ready for
popping and it's inside of this and you call it quickie pop that's the title
that I like the most quickie pop the pop, the popcorn and the quickie is because it's so fast.
This is something for you to consider and I don't need any royalties or licensing or anything. I just
know that both of you are always looking for new entrepreneurial opportunities and
I don't have the time to pursue this right now. But it's a
stovetop popcorn that you can make very fast and he's called Quickie Pop
Thank you
Wow
I love that he calls you guys but do you have the heart
to tell him? No and with a guy
like that that just tells you where Hollywood is
you don't tell him
he tells you
and then you have to like somehow make
the idea not work and blame it on something else i mean imagine if you were the person that had to
deliver that bad news then you're fired your brother's for everybody's fired
imagine because the passion that he put in so much passion he blows out the lock in your door. He friendos your whole family.
He's just a murdering machine.
You don't want that.
Speaking of murder, he is a murdering machine.
That's right.
He can only be that guy from now on for me.
He's so good.
So good.
