[13] And they're all starting with podcasts that already exist, that we're like, these people are part of our MFM family.

[14] And so we would love to have them be on our network.

[15] So we're going to tell you guys about those now.

[16] And you're going to hear a little clips from them as well.

[17] And we also just, so you know, we also, when we were choosing all these shows, kept in mind, all the listeners that we've met, all the people that we've talked to, all the things that you guys are interested in, not just true crime, but things outside of true crime and the kind of comedy -like and the people that we talk to.

[18] So it's been really exciting kind of developing this with you guys in mind.

[19] Yeah, we just, we wanted to expand the family and it really does feel like that.

[20] We got offices like fucking grownups and shit.

[21] It's like, it's fully real.

[22] I feel like an adult.

[23] I know.

[24] It's, it's very, very cool.

[25] And it's something since we've been, this whole thing has been such such a huge event in our lives anyway.

[26] It's like we get this very real kind of like, it's a project to put in all of the work that we're putting in, but not just on our own show, but like to support the voices that we believe in and to bring them to you so that you meet, there's people that you already know, but then there's people that we get to introduce you to.

[27] It's just super exciting.

[28] It's a really cool opportunity and we're excited.

[29] So the first one is the Fall Line podcast.

[30] It's hosted by Brooke Gently Hargrove and Lauren Norton, and it's just an incredible podcast.

[31] It's a true crime audio serial focused on marginalized communities of Georgia and covers one story per season.

[32] And there are more than 20 episodes you can listen to right now.

[33] And I just, I love that they're focusing on these communities and marginalized victims that don't normally get covered on true crime shows and podcasts and that sort of thing.

[34] So it's a really great opportunity for us to bring you these really incredible stories.

[35] Yeah, and Georgia's been a fan of these guys kind of since they started.

[36] So it was also very exciting just to be able to, you know, when Georgia found out they didn't have a network to be like, oh my God, will they join our family?

[37] Yeah, like let's help them bring more stories to light, you know, it's really cool.

[38] Yeah, so here's a little sample of that show.

[39] That's right.

[40] This is the fall line.

[41] Atlanta, 1989.

[42] Ground is broken on the Georgia Dome, which will once.

[43] day be the home of the Falcons.

[44] The movie Driving Miss Daisy, which was shot in our city, premieres in theaters.

[45] Down south in Savannah, a man named Jim Wells is acquitted of the murder of a male sex worker.

[46] You might remember him from midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

[47] Emmanuel Hammond is formerly charged with the murder of Julie Love, a midtown Atlanta resident who ran out of gas on her way back from a business meeting.

[48] And at Grady Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, Janquia Brooks is born.

[49] Within two weeks, she'll be reamitted with meningitis.

[50] Because of her age, she's hospitalized in the nursery, and within two days, she disappears.

[51] And then, Atlanta, 1993.

[52] The Atlanta Braves can't be stopped.

[53] Construction has begun on the Centennial Olympic Stadium, and George's cleanup and gentrification efforts are in high gear.

[54] March, brings what's called the storm of the century.

[55] Georgia's hit with nearly two feet of snow, and among the six -foot drifts, Atlanta grinds to a halt.

[56] There are only a handful of snow plows to serve the entire city.

[57] Something else happens in March 2.

[58] Tavish Sutton, born in February, is checked into Grady's Hugh Spaulding Children's Hospital for a minor abscess surgery.

[59] He's living with foster parents, but the permanency of the placement is unclear.

[60] Hours into his recovery, a nurse checks in on him.

[61] By the time she makes her way back around to check again, he's gone.

[62] Two babies gone in four years.

[63] And there was another between them who we've taken to calling baby X and on whom there is no information available.

[64] We can't even say when that infant was taken, except that the year was 1992.

[65] As in the case of Janquia, the kidnapper was a juvenile, So without the necessary context to provide details on Baby X, we're left with 1989 and Janquia and 1993 and Tavish.

[66] Janquia was recovered in 24 hours.

[67] Tavish is still missing today.

[68] Okay, so that's the fall line.

[69] That's one show to look forward to.

[70] There's also to change tracks entirely.

[71] We are hosting my other podcast.

[72] It's called Do You Need a Ride?

[73] It's a comedy podcast that me and Sands.

[74] stand -up comedian named Chris Haramanks have been hosting for the past.

[75] Oh, I don't know.

[76] I think it's been five years.

[77] And essentially, well, we're going to, we're going to make our whole catalog available.

[78] We basically either pick up or drop off comedians at the airport who are either leaving for a gig or coming home from a gig.

[79] And then we just interview them in the car ride to or from LAX.

[80] It's so hilarious.

[81] It's, Georgia's done it.

[82] There's an episode with Georgia.

[83] and most more recently, Stephen has become our sound guy in the car because the sound, Chris was the sound guy for the first like four years and it was real touch and go there for a while.

[84] But that's, that actually added to a lot of the comedy.

[85] So we've driven amazing comedians around good friends, tons of hilarious people.

[86] And now that we're on exactly right, we're going to be obviously continuing this into the future.

[87] So we're, we're both very excited that we get to do this.

[88] So you need a ride.

[89] This guy was going left right here.

[90] Holy shit.

[91] Let's get some blinkers on people.

[92] You guys, don't get in car accidents, please.

[93] We won't.

[94] We won't.

[95] There's no way.

[96] I'm going 20 miles an hour on sunset.

[97] It's raining so hard.

[98] It's really kind of nuts.

[99] It's adorable when it rains in L .A. All the kitty litter in the world couldn't absorb these cats and dogs.

[100] I don't know about that.

[101] And I have only like cute jackets.

[102] I don't have any functional like raincoats or anything.

[103] people who live in places that this happens at?

[104] Right.

[105] I've never in my life owned an umbrella.

[106] I mean, sometimes they're in and out of your life, but I've never purchased and had a repeat use.

[107] I think that's a guy thing.

[108] I get maybe so.

[109] I get that.

[110] I've had some cute ones.

[111] And I think it's very fitting that the one I have had all year is a sex in the city umbrella.

[112] Oh my God, I want to see you walking on the street.

[113] One side of it just is an HBO logo, and it's like, hey, I work in the business, everybody.

[114] even when it's raining I still might Yeah Something about seeing Teamster Like you can tell This guy is a Teamster And he's wearing like a movie sweater From like seven years ago And you're like oh you fucking did lighting on that You're still wearing the sweater Yes Cirque de Soleil fleece Oh no They're the Letterman's jackets of this town That's true It really are That people When you're going steady with someone You usually give them your universal You're Caroline in the the city.

[117] I was just going to go studio.

[118] And you, that show, the fact that she was a cartoonist.

[119] That's great.

[120] Like a syndicated car.

[121] That, of course, had a giant $3 million studio apartment.

[122] Yeah, her loft place.

[123] What about news radio?

[124] Can we get a news radio hat in here?

[125] Oh, that would be the best.

[126] Yeah, if you're dating someone and they give you your news radio hat with a, they're a divorcee.

[127] Yeah, yeah, they're definitely cheating on their wife.

[133] Awesome.

[134] Really exciting.

[135] So hilarious.

[136] Great to have you, Karen.

[137] Thank you.

[138] It's great to be on my own podcast network.

[139] It's a real honor.

[140] And the next one is another podcast that I heard and was like, I am obsessed with this podcast.

[141] I've talked about it on the podcast, on my favorite murder before as well.

[142] Yeah.

[143] It's called This Podcast Will Kill You.

[144] It's hosted by Aaron and Aaron, Aaron Welsh and Aaron Alman Updike.

[145] And it's so, I just love it so much.

[146] The Aaron and Aaron are great.

[147] Rad students studying disease ecology, which is so fucking cool.

[148] Every other week, they make drinks and talk about diseases and share tons of history and gory details.

[149] It's so creepy and lovely if you're like me and you're obsessed with infectious diseases or not or don't know anything about them.

[150] It's a perfect podcast for those of us.

[151] So here's a clip.

[152] Warning for the squeamish.

[153] This is about to get graphic.

[154] Inside Tony Love's fingers, they found pockets of puppies.

[155] the size of nickels.

[156] There was one in the center of his hand.

[157] It was the size of a golf ball.

[158] His left knee, the one he couldn't bend, was rigid and swollen.

[159] Hi there.

[160] Hi.

[161] I'm Aaron Welsh.

[162] And I'm Aaron Almond Updike.

[163] And we're the host of this podcast will kill you, a podcast that explores diseases and their effects on the world.

[164] Each episode, we dive into a new disease.

[165] We cover its biology and explain exactly how it makes you sick.

[166] so you start with a fever but then within two to three days you're not getting better and at the back of your throat you'll see this thing and it starts out white just sort of attached to like the roof of your mouth and like back near your tonsils and then it gets bigger i don't like this it just keeps getting bigger and it starts out white but as it grows rose to cover your entire soft palate, it can turn green or gray or black.

[167] God, black?

[168] Yeah.

[169] And it's not really pus because pus, you can kind of spit that out, right?

[170] Like mucus.

[171] You could sort of put your finger back there and scrape it off.

[172] Oh, ugh.

[173] You can't do that with this because it's stuck on.

[174] And if you try, like if you really, really try in there, you're just going to cause yourself to bleed a lot because it's stuck on there.

[175] Then we trace its history over time, from its origins to its impacts on society.

[176] So if those cures seem a little crazy to you, hold on to your butts.

[177] Ope!

[178] Oh, clenching!

[179] You can also administer the ashes of the tail of a shrew mouse, but only if the shrew mouse survived the tail removal and then was set free.

[180] It's the only way it's going to work.

[181] How do you administer?

[182] How do you administer the tail of a shrew mouth?

[183] So here's my favorite, though.

[184] The old skin of a snake that has been cast in spring.

[185] I don't know what that means.

[186] Beaten up, wait, with a male crab in wine.

[187] Finally, we discuss the status of the disease in the world today.

[188] And we do it all with a stiff drink by our side.

[189] It's quarantini time.

[190] Our first season explored some of the most famous, or should we say infamous, diseases of all time, from influenza to HIV.

[191] And now we're coming to you with season two.

[192] Make sure that you subscribe now so that you don't miss our first episode.

[193] Until then, wash your hands.

[194] You filthy animals.

[195] Awesome.

[196] Love it.

[197] Hey, let's have the host of this next podcast.

[198] Tell us about this next podcast.

[199] We're lucky enough to have the Purrcast's host, Stephen Ray Morris, right here.

[200] Oh, my God.

[201] Steven, tell us about your podcast that's going to be on exactly right.

[202] Oh, my gosh.

[203] I'm so excited.

[204] I'm so honored.

[205] The Purrcast is Sarah Ier and I, and we basically interview your favorite comedians.

[206] We've been doing this for three years now, for three years now interviewing your favorite comedians and actors and performers about their cats.

[207] And it's really just about that chance.

[208] Anyone who has pets can relate.

[209] I mean, one of my favorite compliments is one of somebody who's like, I don't even like cats.

[210] I love dogs, but I love your podcast.

[211] The ultimate compliment.

[212] Exactly.

[213] So, yeah, so we just talk about everything that you would love.

[214] And I think if anybody has a pet, I think it's relatable.

[215] And if you don't have pets, then you can just, you know, enjoy it that way too.

[216] You can live vicariously, yeah.

[217] I love that.

[218] I love the tagline that we, what is it?

[219] Interviewing cat people because we can't talk to their cats.

[220] Yes.

[221] Yeah, we're interviewing cat people because we can't talk to their cats.

[222] I love that.

[223] All right.

[224] Take a sample.

[225] Love the Purrcast.

[226] Let's do a clip.

[227] I wish he could talk.

[228] Thank you.

[229] I used to always think that I wish I could text him.

[230] And I forget who someone had a stand -up joke in their Netflix special about texting their animal.

[231] It's like, so true.

[232] There's just times where I'd love to, you know, if I'm at work, just be like, things good?

[233] Just like, yeah, food's low.

[234] Not happy about it.

[235] I got a piece of my food and my water.

[236] It's expanding.

[237] Come home soon.

[238] I definitely think my cat, too, Penny Lane.

[239] She would definitely be like that.

[240] She would just send me, like, complaint updates.

[241] It's like, Buster is, like, trying to get into, like, the room again.

[242] I'm trying to hang out.

[243] And then you've got to do a group text with Buster and Penny Lane.

[244] I'm just trying to lay on the bed, Penny.

[245] Leave me be.

[246] But Buster would just send tons of, like, he would just send tons of memes in a row of, like, he's a memeer.

[247] Yeah, yeah.

[248] You know, of, like, or, like, those, like, where it's, like, the text, you know, like, dreams are always worth fulfilling or whatever.

[249] Yeah.

[250] It's like, oh, Buster.

[251] I just live how Buster and Puster and.

[252] Penny would be texting each other while they're in the same apartment because I've done that like when I had a roommate I would text him when we were in the same yeah yeah I mean I guess it's been a while since I've had a roommate so yeah I guess now sometimes like you don't want to you guys lived in a mansion I'm assuming oh yeah yeah so it's like he would be in the east wing I'd be in the the other one the other side wing the west wing where are the important decisions right so yeah she would yeah um classic her awesome yay we're so excited of course Stephen has to be with us part of the family.
