[52] These are all rando emails about interesting things of your lives.
[53] Karen goes first.
[54] Are you ready?
[55] Yes.
[56] Why can't, why I can't trust ice cream trucks?
[57] My hometown story.
[58] All right.
[59] Hello to Karen, Georgia, and Stephen.
[60] Our family grew up in a large and friendly neighborhood in Columbia, Tennessee, outside of Nashville.
[61] In the summers, our nights mainly consisted of playing outside until dark.
[62] and for my fat Big Mac -loving fifth grade self waiting for the ice cream truck to stop by.
[63] I'm still paying for the Big Macs, hence the nightly walks.
[64] That's right.
[65] One afternoon, way too late in the summer season, my sisters and I were in the highless doing, working on homework, and we heard the ice cream truck coming around the neighborhood and ran to ask for permission to meet it.
[66] The only running I ever did.
[67] The best.
[68] My dad made me stay in to study, but my two younger sisters went out to buy us all ice cream.
[69] Not there!
[70] Now listen to this.
[71] My dad and I noticed that it was taking longer than usual, and when the girls came back in with our ice cream, they were carrying a piece of paper, too.
[72] My dad asked what it was and took it from them, noticing that a phone number was written on it.
[73] The girls cluelessly explained that the old man, whom we had bought ice cream from many times before, began asking them questions and gave them the paper.
[74] He told them that if we ever wanted ice cream at any time, of the day even in the winter we could call him and he would come to our house no and he added that he was also available for our slumber parties and we would be able to and he would be able to show up at any time even at three in the morning no don't do that it's happened my dad immediately called the police and we all ate our ice cream while we waited for them to show up all they could do was tell us to let them know if you ever came back we never saw him again and needless to say it was a long time before we could ever trust another ice cream man again.
[75] To this day, I still get butterflies in my stomach when I hear the ice cream truck thinking about all the crazy things that could have happened had that man ever come back.
[76] Stay sexy and always take ice cream from strangers, but never invite them to your slumber parties, Sutherland.
[77] But what if he really was just this nice old man who was so lonely and wanted to go to little girl's slumber parties at three in the morning?
[78] There's the overstep.
[79] Like a normal person.
[80] You've highlighted the issue because it's nice to be nice sell ice cream do what you want keep your fucking digits to yourself in all ways absolutely absolutely we have a huge ice cream man contingent listening to these episodes so we really need them to hear us that's right don't give your phone numbers out okay this is called my cousin's dad was on america's most wanted yes hey all i've just recently been put onto your podcast by my co -worker and since then you've been the soundtrack to my work week this hometown what's up central jersey they say is everything but murder.
[81] It's pretty crazy.
[82] Growing up, I remember lots of whispering about my aunt's new boyfriend, who my parents slash relatives believed to be a drug dealer.
[83] I thought they were just being antiquated and discriminatory because of his tattoos.
[84] But apparently, I was also just a dumb 10 -year -old who knew nothing about anything.
[85] Turns out my aunt's boyfriend and eventually father of my little cousin was a drug dealer, when with an all cap's tight grip on the cocaine production slash distribution within Newark and Elizabeth.
[86] He didn't just fucking distribute that blow around Elizabeth and Newark.
[87] He didn't need a quick buck and, you know, he couldn't get a job and all this.
[88] He made it.
[89] He was a kingpin.
[90] He had a science lab coat and he was beaker, pouring beakers back and forth making coke.
[91] Production distribution.
[92] Holy shit.
[93] After serving time for kidnapping a rival gang member, throwing him in his own truck and then firing at said truck and that says, homeboy survive, police began a five -month investigation, which led to 23 arrests.
[94] the seizure of seven pounds of cocaine.
[95] Is that a lot of cocaine?
[96] It's plenty.
[97] 800 folds of heroin.
[98] I didn't know heroin came in folds.
[99] Little pieces of people magazine.
[100] I'll fold it up.
[101] It's that thing where you're like, you know what a group of Ravens is called?
[102] A heroin fold.
[103] It's a fold of heroines right outside my window.
[104] That's right.
[105] Two handguns and an AK -47 rifle from one of his trap houses.
[106] Oh, more lingo.
[107] I love trap music.
[108] In Newark.
[109] He managed to escape.
[110] arrest not once, not twice, but three times, twice by outrunning police through six lanes of traffic.
[111] Oh, did I mention he was a high school track star?
[112] Yes.
[113] And then he completely disappeared in the summer of 2009.
[114] My aunt and cousins ran off into the sunset.
[115] Go by, down the freeway.
[116] Instead of going across traffic, he just went with it.
[117] Went along with it.
[118] You have to go with traffic.
[119] And he's still running today.
[120] Forest.
[121] My aunt and cousin, who was about six years old at the time, knew nothing of his whereabouts and didn't hear from him until he turned himself into the Union County Sheriff's Office in 2012, citing that he wanted a chance to be in his son's life again.
[122] Aw, the drug dealer gone good.
[123] There is redemption here.
[124] In July of 2017, he was sentenced to 37 years of which he must serve 30 before being eligible for parole.
[125] Jesus Christ.
[126] Damn, he must have been high up.
[127] It's crazy to think that this was the same man who'd often spare us, my many cousins and I, a few bucks for the ice cream truck.
[128] Whoa.
[129] There's a theme here.
[130] Automatic theme.
[131] Or to run down to the corner, both.
[132] O'Dega.
[133] Though, I guess when you're making nearly $700 ,000 a week, you can spare some change.
[134] You better buy some ice cream.
[135] Stay sexy and maybe do some research on your new boyfriend.
[136] Love Lily.
[137] Nice.
[138] Amazing.
[139] Oh, I, you know, isn't that the human story that we're all drug dealers and we're all guys that float you for some ice cream?
[140] That's right.
[141] It's really nice.
[142] Just because you're a drug dealer doesn't make you a bad guy.
[143] No, sometimes drug dealers just want you to get nice and high and make money off you.
[144] we're kidding everyone we're kidding any true don't do drugs they'll do them very often try not to do them that much don't have a dealer be more casual yeah yeah just borrow it at parties and some friends that's right keep using the word borrow they'll love it here's the subject line is first responder story feel good oh good hey all you keep saying by the way the lighthearted now when everyone's like so so da da lighthearted it's question question mark at the end of lighthearted.
[145] Every single one I got, I said lighthearted, it was lighthearted?
[146] Lighthearted?
[147] It's kind of not.
[148] You tell me. Yeah.
[149] There's still blood.
[150] Okay.
[151] Hey, all, I never thought I'd have anything to share with you guys until recently when Karen was telling the story in episode 146 about the Jaws of Life and what first responders did before they had access to that tool.
[152] And this is my personal sidebar.
[153] I kind of pretty much got that wrong and heard from lots and lots of very kind and experienced firemen who were like, here's actually.
[154] No, it works.
[155] Fire men and women, true.
[156] Fire people.
[157] That's what they're called?
[158] The fire people.
[159] The people of fire.
[160] Fire starters sent in emails.
[161] And basically, I got one tiny aspect of it right, but the actual shape and movement and everything else was wrong.
[162] Right.
[163] But we knew that was going to happen, didn't we?
[164] That's okay here.
[165] This is a sage space at exactly right offices.
[166] Oh, we're going to burn some sage after this.
[167] That's right.
[168] And the fucking house down to, when we accidentally just burn this whole place in?
[169] Like, sorry, neighbors.
[170] Okay.
[171] My dad's best friend who had always been like my uncle was a volunteer firefighter in a small town in Minnesota.
[172] He's naturally big but has never been a huge weightlifter or anything.
[173] This is an important detail, I promise.
[174] Okay.
[175] When I was a kid, my dad's friend had to go to the scene of a terrible car accident.
[176] A mom and her toddler were stuck inside a car, which was on fire.
[177] While everyone else was trying to figure out how to get them out, he walked up to the car, adrenaline pumping, and ripped the door off the car.
[178] Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't done that.
[179] It happened probably 25 years ago, and I still get chills when I hear about it.
[180] It's one of the many reasons I love my like an uncle friend.
[181] Thanks for reading, love you guys, SSDGM, Julie.
[182] Holy shit.
[183] Now, this reminded me there's a family story, and it always changed of who is the person that did it, which is how you know it's an urban myth.
[184] But I still love it anyway.
[185] The story was it was my grandmother.
[186] and then somebody corrected me and was like, no, it was her mother, one of those, got into a car sent, they drove up, kids trapped in the car, oh, no, no, the father trapped under the car and she walked up and picked the car up, and the guy got out from under the car.
[187] And they modeled the Jaws of Life after this guy and your great grandma.
[188] Yes, that's, and Superman after my great grandma.
[189] Oh, my God.
[190] Wow.
[191] I know, it's not good.
[192] Oh, but I heard, I learned at Thanksgiving.
[193] I've told the story several times that my grandfather was killed in a bar fight, got stabbed in a bar fight?
[194] I've told you that, right?
[195] I'm combining two stories.
[196] My sister's like, that's not true at all.
[197] You're combining two stories.
[198] And even though he died under suspicious circumstances, it was not a knife fight in the alley behind a bar.
[199] But did he get in a knife fight in the alley behind a bar once?
[200] It was, it was, he got rolled, basically.
[201] But it was much less the jets and the sharks and much more kind of tragic.
[202] And it's a different family story of somebody else who died in a knife.
[203] fight outside a bar well you're gonna need to like have this as your story one week yeah yeah oh it's amazing crazy awful i'm sorry no no i'm sorry for lying constantly i'm just gonna tell you the beginning of this uh subject line okay uh uncle was a mooney okay is this an uncle theme it might be did you do that on purpose no i think they's just been sending a lot i think because around thanksgiving probably a lot of family stuff coming in uncles ice cream great crime hey mfm fam so my uncle was in the mooney cult for years.
[204] Let's call him Tom.
[205] My mom told me this story back when I was probably 20 or so.
[206] When Tom was in college in North Carolina in the 70s, he went to a dinner slash lock -in.
[207] Well, it turned out to be a brainwashing session for the Mooney cult.
[208] Which one was the Mooney cult?
[209] They're the robes and shit.
[210] No, that they're all robes.
[211] There's a lot of robes, but the Mooney's were the ones that sold.
[212] They get married on mass. So it's Reverend Moon and then there's like 50 ,000 people get married and they'd never met the other person.
[213] Okay, this is in this.
[214] Okay.
[215] The brain watching session.
[216] He quickly fell out of his day -to -day activities and spent all his time selling these magazines for Reverend Moon.
[217] My grandparents started to get worried because they hadn't heard from him in weeks.
[218] My mom has a family, my mom has family in Tennessee.
[219] And one day, their cousin, Mark, was at the gas station in his town in Tennessee when he sees his cousin, Tom.
[220] He kept shouting, hey, Tom, what are you doing in Tennessee?
[221] Tom completely ignored him.
[222] Mark said Tom seemed really out of it.
[223] really spacey.
[224] Mark ran home to tell his parents and they called my grandparents and right away told him to go back and get him.
[225] They all run back to the gas station and basically kidnap him away from the Moonies and drive him back to North Carolina.
[226] Once there, my grandparents had a long talk, not really sure how long he was home or what he said because he went back to school and back to the Moonies.
[227] But this time he contacted his parents regularly.
[228] That's all you got to do if you're going to join a cold.
[229] I guess that's true.
[230] But then also don't believe that they're against you.
[231] Right.
[232] And don't join a call.
[233] Step one.
[234] Don't believe there I got two.
[235] Step two.
[236] Step three, stop it.
[237] Stop it.
[238] So years down the road, my uncle Tom was married to his wife, with 300 other people by Reverend Moon.
[239] So Tom and Barb start having kids and a couple in the cult couldn't have kids.
[240] So Reverend Moon told Tom that he and Barb are to have a child and it will be given to the other couple.
[241] Oh, no. All caps.
[242] So they fucking did.
[243] Oh, no. Which is kind of lovely, but not for the cult.
[244] Not with a cult.
[245] Also, it's your own kid.
[246] I don't know.
[247] Yeah, you're too.
[248] It's lovely if it's, far away and you didn't want the child you shouldn't be able to give your kid away like that no I don't think you are I think they're operating outside the law in that church no but I mean like personally be like great we'll have another one you shouldn't agree to it yeah it shouldn't be fine with you no there's some walls that have been broken down that can't be built back up absolutely I'm not saying adoption is bad it's a beautiful thing that's not what this is it's the intercult adoption that we are talking right we love paperwork a few of his kids are still involved with the moonies holy shit.
[249] The wild thing is no one in our family knew about this until Tom slipped up and said something about Brett.
[250] Oh, who the fuck is Brett?
[251] Everyone asked.
[252] My uncle has long since left the cult and his wife, but Brett does know who is biological parents and four brothers are.
[253] Wow.
[254] Thanks for taking the time to read this and I can't wait to see you in Milwaukee, SSTGM Amelia.
[255] Wow.
[256] Crazy.
[257] Yeah, that cult is, it just doesn't go away.
[258] They're Mooney.
[259] They're all over the GD map.
[260] there is a really good Mayford TV movie that I've already talked about on this show if you're interested in the Moonies and the ways of how you get into something like that and I will tell you what it is after I can't remember wait one second there it is ticket to heaven ticket to heaven it's a movie called Ticket to Heaven and I swear to God I don't know what it's on it's very old I think it's from the 90s or no 81 it's so old you have to watch it okay one of my better recommendations so far.
[261] Just really pulled it off.
[262] It was slick.
[263] It was smooth.
[264] The subject line is the ghost of Karen Carpenter.
[265] Oh my God.
[266] Are you ready?
[267] I am ready.
[268] Hello, I hear you named after.
[269] Gotta keep interrupting you.
[270] No, no, no. Are you kidding?
[271] That's all I've done this whole time.
[272] Hello, Karen, Georgia, Stephen, and pets.
[273] I've been meaning to write in this story for a while now, but it wasn't until today when Karen mentioned the ghost of Karen Carpenter on the minisode that I knew I had to share with you all.
[274] My dad has worked as a mortician, his entire working career, starting in Idaho, and later in L .A. after he and my mom moved to Southern California in the 80s.
[275] He has had so many wonderful stories, including burying Rita Hayworth.
[276] Wow.
[277] I wouldn't call that wonderful.
[278] Is that what you're laughing about?
[279] Just the celebration of the death every day.
[280] I had a wonderful day at work today, darling.
[281] Let me tell you.
[282] I was finally able to bury that woman.
[283] I always hated her work.
[284] She is my greatest rival.
[285] in the mortician industry.
[286] Okay, sorry, we know what you mean.
[287] Wonderful stories including burying Rita Hayworth and parentheses of which there are newspaper photos of him carrying her casket down the stairs of the church preceding her funeral.
[288] Wow.
[289] Living in a haunted apartment of a mortuary where doors would open and close.
[290] Yes.
[291] Fuck, and picking up a man who died at a sugar factory.
[292] Parentheses, I'll spare you the details.
[293] Oh, he fell in a thing.
[294] I bet you he fell into thing.
[295] She smothered on sugar.
[296] That's how I'm going to die.
[297] in my living room.
[298] I don't want to ever be in a vat of things and get stuck in it.
[299] Trying to swallow it, trying to be like...
[300] Whenever I read those stories, I get fucking...
[301] I get so bummed.
[302] It's the worst.
[303] It's the worst.
[304] Let's talk about it.
[305] It also, it leaves this little bit of a funny joke mark at the end of your death, which sucks.
[306] There's no dignity in it.
[307] Right.
[308] It's just a huge bummer.
[309] It's a terrible death.
[310] And then a little bit of like, today in weird news.
[311] Like, I fucking died, you assholes.
[312] Like your story about the molasses fucking and flood.
[313] It's like, wow, that's hilarious.
[314] And you're like, but people die.
[315] Yes.
[316] That's not as hilarious.
[317] It's not hilarious at all.
[318] It's like somebody was standing there going about their business.
[319] And then a 40 -foot wave of molasses killed them.
[320] Yeah.
[321] And then every, yeah, et cetera, et cetera.
[322] That's what this whole podcast is.
[323] Can you fucking believe it?
[324] Can you fucking believe this?
[325] Okay.
[326] But it's his one story about Karen Carpenter that has always fascinated me. When Karen first passed away, she was buried at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cyprus, California, but in 2003, her family decided to disinter her body and bury her at Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Memorial Park in West Lake Village.
[327] Oh, that's a much better place.
[328] It's so much better for everybody.
[329] A longtime industry friend of my dad's was responsible for picking Mrs. Carpenter up, I think it's missed, Carpenter up and transporting her to her second and final resting place.
[330] While en route from Cemetery A to Cemetery B, his hearse broke down on the side of the road and what might you ask came on the radio just that very moment this sweet serenuating voice of karen carpenter singing we've only just begun oh my god that is this is such a dad's story i love it the funniest possible song that could play i know my dad's friend was spooked by the incident but i like to think it was karen's way of having a little fun from the great beyond she's like let me have a minute not in a grave and just like chill out here yes can you just pull over by the side of road and i'm going to prank you because i just want one last prank.
[331] Yes.
[332] Thank you for all that you do, especially being so vocal about mental health and making the rest of us murderinos feel like we're not alone.
[333] Stay sexy and watch out for ghosts of 1970 pop stars playing practical jokes, Devin.

[390] Goodbye.
[391] That's amazing.
[392] Okay, this is just a nice email.
[393] It's not a hometown.
[394] So update, Portland Girl, who's house burned down.
[395] Remember of the girl we met?
[396] We met a girl at one of the Portland shows.
[397] It was really lovely.
[398] And her fucking house had just burned down.
[399] It had just burned down.
[400] Was it the same day or like that week?
[401] It was like that week.
[402] Yeah.
[403] It was a lot.
[404] I think she said something about it in here.
[405] So let's see.
[406] Hello to some of my favorite beings on Earth.
[407] That means you too, Stephen.
[408] Oh.
[409] I just wanted to update you guys and gave a few more details on my situation.
[410] I met you both at the Portland Live show and briefly mentioned my house burning down and how amazing the Portland murderinas have been.
[411] So the Portland murderinos like helped her with everything.
[412] Oh.
[413] Not only did they immediately jump into action.
[414] and get me food, clothing, cat supplies, and toiletries.
[415] They were also there for me emotionally.
[416] I have horrible chronic anxiety, and I know I would not have made it through the past month calmly if it weren't for my amazing murderino friends.
[417] I'm settling to a new apartment finally, and my kitty crookshanks is still a hilarious asshole, which is a good thing, of course.
[418] On top of all of this amazingness, they have come through yet again for my coworker and fellow murderino who has been harassed lately by her ex -boyfriend.
[419] The Portland murderinos have given her lawyerino help.
[420] sent her a doorbell camera and sat with her for five hours at the courthouse while she obtained a restraining order against him.
[421] Amazing.
[422] I just had to let you know how much we both appreciate this community you have created and how incredible the women of this group are.
[423] I'm extremely grateful to them and to you guys.
[424] Thank you for being wonderful and helping us to SSDGM.
[425] P .S. I'm originally from Tennessee and I've only lived in Portland for five months and the community here is literally the only reason I have friends in the city.
[426] That's amazing.
[427] Love Jess.
[428] That's so good.
[429] Yeah.
[430] What a beautiful ending to that awful story.
[431] I know and I love that.
[432] She was saying how she was just new to the city and like those are the people who came to fucking help her.
[433] Yeah.
[434] That's incredible.
[435] That's beautiful.
[436] And I would want to say because she said she wouldn't have been able to get through it calmly without those people.
[437] Yeah.
[438] But you also have to remember you're not supposed to get through really tragic events in your life calmly.
[439] This is when you get to freak out and you get to be dependent.
[440] And don't hold yourself to those ridiculous standards.
[441] Something terrible happened to you.
[442] You're lucky enough to have people that are there to help you.
[443] But you're, you're not supposed to be fucking calm.
[444] If you need to scream at the sky, your house burned down.
[445] You get to.
[446] That's really lovely.
[447] That's true.
[448] I appreciate that.
[449] I'm always trying to keep my shit together and not like seem like a monster or depressed person in front of Vince.
[450] But it's like, well, sometimes I'm a fucking depressed person.
[451] Right.
[452] And it's like in trying to control it in some ways you can't control it in other ways.
[453] It's a nice like noble idea.
[454] Yeah.
[455] But then it just creates too much pressure.
[456] Right.
[457] You know what I mean?
[458] On top of dealing with your fucking house burning.
[459] And you don't expect him to do that for you.
[460] No. He doesn't have to be like, Mr. Perfect all the time.
[461] I just want to say it'd be nice.
[462] You know what?
[463] I just want to say one quick message to Vince.
[464] It would be nice.
[465] You could just try.
[466] Tighten up your game a little bit for me, for this marriage I'm not in.
[467] All right.
[468] Send us your emails at my favorite murder at Gmail.
[469] And thank you for sending these wonderful stories in and stay sexy.
[470] And don't get murdered.
[471] Goodbye.
