Side Stories: The Grim Reaper Clause

Henry & Eddie crawl out of Midsummer Scream with busted knees, empty wallets, and an irresponsible number of 4K DVDs... RFK Jr. sings the praises of the perfect shit, a hacky killer clown caught on RingCam bearing gifts, the Grim Reaper hit with charges after loitering outside UK hospital, Sinatra karaoke turns fatal, an Arkansas football player spends two hours sharing his helmet with a rattlesnake, Listener E-Mails, and MORE!

  There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left.

• 1:14Henry Zebrowski?

  Side stories?

• 1:17Speaker 01

  That's when the cannibalism started.

• 1:20Henry Zebrowski?

  Side stories. Yes.

• 1:29Speaker 02

  Hey Eddie, I'm so excited to finally have you here. It's so nice to finally be a guest on the show. It's been so important. Have you seen how smooth my stool is?

• 1:40Speaker 03

  Yes, I have, Mr. Kennedy.

• 1:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, see how smooth it is? It's like a ribbon. It's like a beautiful ribbon.

• 1:47Speaker 03

  You brought it in Tupperware. Yeah, that's nice.

• 1:50Speaker 02

  It's important to make sure that we have a, if you have a running stool, you're gonna use that, you're gonna put that in your car.

• 1:58Speaker 03

  Now, why is it, um, black?

• 2:01Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, that's because he's evil. That's because it's literally just his intestinal lining. When I see, I got so many emails about this. People being like, did you see RFK Jr. talked about how orgasmic and, and non-wipable his stool is? And, and I'm just like, I am, I'm, yes, I'm entertained.

• 2:24Speaker 03

  Yes, of course.

• 2:25Henry Zebrowski?

  But I just don't think we need it.

• 2:27Speaker 03

  No, we don't need it. But it is interesting to just see a man just so happily claim that he doesn't wipe.

• 2:33Henry Zebrowski?

  That man needs, he, he needs an enema. You remember that from Dracula, Dead and Loving It?

• 2:40Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 2:40Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, that's what that man needs. Absolutely. Welcome to Side Stories. My name is Henry Zebrowski. I'm sitting here with the absolutely chock full of con-based dookies, Ed Larson.

• 2:54Speaker 03

  That's right. Actually, not that much dookie, because we barely ate.

• 2:58Henry Zebrowski?

  Yep.

• 2:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:59Henry Zebrowski?

  I ate more at this con than any other con we've ever been to. We just got back from Midsummer Scream.

• 3:06Speaker 03

  What a fucking cool, fun place, dude.

• 3:08Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh my God, that was so much fun. We signed a baby.

• 3:11Speaker 03

  Yes, we full on signed an adult baby.

• 3:15Henry Zebrowski?

  Someone brought a baby. They brought it into the, they slapped it down on the table and it started crying.

• 3:21Speaker 03

  It had a very cute shirt that they made that said, "I wore my concert diaper just to meet Last Podcast on the Left."

• 3:28Henry Zebrowski?

  It was extremely fun. Uh, we just, what a wonderful afternoons. Afternoons we spent. We spent multiple afternoons.

• 3:37Speaker 03

  Three straight nights.

• 3:39Henry Zebrowski?

  Ed gave a lot of money to John Carpenter for a signature.

• 3:43Speaker 03

  All right. So here's what happened there. Okay. So there were these cool people who did these like, uh, it's like they took horror like scores and they put them on vinyl and cassette and CDs. And I loved it. I got Basket Case and Brain Damage on CD. I got The Giver on cassette. And I got In the Mouth of Madness on vinyl. I was so happy about it.

• 4:01Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, dude, it was awesome.

• 4:02Speaker 03

  Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I got In the Mouth of Madness on vinyl. The John Carpenter, I'm looking at him. He's right there. I'm gonna take it over. He's gonna sign it. I'll buy something.

• 4:10Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, yeah.

• 4:10Speaker 03

  I'll get a, I'll get a comic book and he'll sign, I'll ask him to sign this instead of the comic book.

• 4:16Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes.

• 4:16Speaker 03

  And so I waited in line for 30 minutes.

• 4:18Henry Zebrowski?

  Because we were, we were trying to be egalitarian about it because right before the whole con started, John Carpenter was sitting there, but he didn't necessarily seem open to engagement.

• 4:29Speaker 03

  Yes, which is fine. I mean, he's a legend. He's John Carpenter. He's actually one of my favorite directors of all time.

• 4:34Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah.

• 4:34Speaker 03

  And, uh, I remember there was also, there was a skip the line for us, but I didn't do it. I waited in the line like a normie. And I was like, I'm gonna do this the right way. And then I get up there and I'm like, oh, I want to get John Carpenter to sign my, uh, vinyl. How do I do that? And like, oh, you buy his new vinyl Cathedral, which is actually pretty good.

• 4:54Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, it's cool.

• 4:54Speaker 03

  And, um, and then you also gotta buy his comic book. And then he could sign two things and then he won't take a picture. And I was like, okay, how much is that? And they said $165.

• 5:05Henry Zebrowski?

  Whoa.

• 5:06Speaker 03

  And I was like, yeah, after waiting a half hour. You know, so I'm just like, okay, sure. And then I paid it. And I was like, all right, I'm gonna give him to sign my In Mouth of the Madness. I'll give him to sign the, uh, his, his graphic novel. And I gave the graphic novel to Rob because Rob works so hard and he does so well. And he loves John Carpenter so much.

• 5:22Henry Zebrowski?

  Thank you. I love you.

• 5:23Speaker 03

  No problem. I love you too. And I got up there and I got him to sign my thing and I shook his hand and I'm like, hey, I'm from Last Podcast on the Left. Yeah, okay. Yeah. I was like, no, but it's like, we just did a whole series on you. I watched your whole catalog. Oh, thank you. Yeah, yeah. You have the four of you today. Yeah, we definitely. And then I refused to give him the extra 50 for the picture.

• 5:46Henry Zebrowski?

  You know what? And I think that shows you're strong.

• 5:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, I had to. And then, but Rob got the picture. Rob went and got the picture.

• 5:54Henry Zebrowski?

  But Bill, it was, it was fun to watch Bill Mosley, uh, handle stuff. It was fun to watch the guy that was the original screen.

• 6:01Speaker 03

  We stood in the line for a moment till we realized that we had to spend like $50 even to look at him.

• 6:05Henry Zebrowski?

  Just to touch him? And it's like, you know, I can touch enough spindly men.

• 6:10Speaker 03

  It is, but I understand that's what it's there for. That's how these people make their nut.

• 6:14Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, they do.

• 6:15Speaker 03

  You know, and I think it is good that they are able to like, keep making money on projects that they made forever ago. And it's very cool. But man, it is funny how transactional it all is.

• 6:25Henry Zebrowski?

  It really is. And also.

• 6:26Speaker 03

  It's so bizarre.

• 6:27Henry Zebrowski?

  But the vibe is great. All of the people we met were really, I don't know how to put it. I just feel like horror fans are better than other fans.

• 6:37Speaker 03

  I'll, I think 98% of the people I met were awesome.

• 6:41Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes. I think that they are better fans than just normal comic book fans. I think it's fun in there. I think it's a little bit, it's horny.

• 6:50Speaker 03

  Comic Con, I have no desire to go to Comic Con.

• 6:52Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, I like, I like Comic Cons. We are doing New York Comic Con, but we're gonna announce that soon.

• 6:57Speaker 03

  I'm talking about, I'm talking about San Diego. That thing seems too crazy to me.

• 7:01Henry Zebrowski?

  San Diego's a lot. San Diego's a lot. We've been there a lot. Uh, but now that we've been doing Midsummer Scream, it's just so much fucking fun. We saw Bob Gurr, the Imagineer. He, um, is.

• 7:10Speaker 03

  Ancient.

• 7:11Henry Zebrowski?

  Impossibly old.

• 7:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was old a decade ago.

• 7:14Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, but he would.

• 7:15Speaker 03

  Remember, he was friends with Walt Disney, who died in 1967.

• 7:18Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, you're like a man. Like a man does. Chooses to close his eyes and never wake up a fucking again.

• 7:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, he puts cigarettes inside of hot dogs.

• 7:26Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, he said, I'll tell Mickey I'll see him in hell.

• 7:30Speaker 03

  He died. He was amazing.

• 7:32Henry Zebrowski?

  Um, but Bob Gurr, he was out there. I saw Dee, Dee Wallace was out there. I saw.

• 7:38Speaker 03

  Who's the guy next to us? Adam? Um, from Rocky Horror?

• 7:42Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, you're talking about Brad from Rocky Horror, Barry Boswick.

• 7:45Speaker 03

  Barry Boswick.

• 7:46Henry Zebrowski?

  We were semi-obsessed with watching Barry Boswick handle the ladies. Cause the ladies wanted a lot of the wig, dude.

• 7:54Speaker 03

  They wanted to get handled. Yeah.

• 7:55Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, they did. Absolutely.

• 7:57Speaker 03

  And then, uh, who was the, um, the sound designer I met from Army of Darkness?

• 8:02Henry Zebrowski?

  Alan Hoer.

• 8:03Speaker 03

  Alan Hoer. I got his autograph. That was cool.

• 8:06Henry Zebrowski?

  Wow, what excitement.

• 8:08Speaker 03

  Sound design. 40 bucks for the sound designer of Army of Darkness.

• 8:12Henry Zebrowski?

  Put some respect on his name. He's, uh, John Carpenter's partner on all of his music.

• 8:17Speaker 03

  Yes, he was. And not, and nowhere near John Carpenter.

• 8:23Henry Zebrowski?

  They were not sat, they were not allowed to be near each other.

• 8:26Speaker 03

  I don't know if they talk anymore.

• 8:28Henry Zebrowski?

  No, I doubt it. But Midsummer Scream, if you're on the fence for next year, you got to fucking go. The Haunts are.

• 8:35Speaker 03

  It's growing. It's gonna be in Anaheim next year.

• 8:37Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, it's gonna be, we, last year, we went.

• 8:39Speaker 03

  Where the air conditioning's gonna work.

• 8:41Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh my God, that was the thing. Everybody was, we were.

• 8:44Speaker 03

  Moist.

• 8:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, the entire time.

• 8:47Speaker 03

  I leaked on many fans.

• 8:49Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, I was just so wet.

• 8:51Speaker 03

  And then many fans leaked on us as well.

• 8:53Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, everybody was a wet. It was wet.

• 8:55Speaker 03

  We were in it.

• 8:56Henry Zebrowski?

  Hey, but you know, I wouldn't have it any other way.

• 8:59Speaker 03

  It was like mud wrestling everyone who loves you.

• 9:02Henry Zebrowski?

  Which is what we're gonna do. Now that Side Stories is going back out on the road. Yes, we have a series of dates that are coming to come out. And here is the list.

  And then December twelfth, Columbia, Missouri, the Blue Note.

• 10:32Henry Zebrowski?

  The last time I went to Iowa City, I'll always remember, I did the Green and Gravel Comedy Festival.

• 10:38Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 10:39Henry Zebrowski?

  It was January. I had just broken up with my ex. We were, it was the first time I was really single, out, out and about, right?

• 10:47Speaker 03

  Iowa's where you chose.

• 10:48Henry Zebrowski?

  I did not choose it. Dave Willis chose it for me. Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell decided to do a clip show for a while. There was a second we were trying to go on the road. So me, Dave, Eddie Pepitone, we're trying to figure out ways to kind of like, do some live shows together. So one thing that we tried to do was this YPF clip show, where we would show some deleted scenes, some stuff, and we'd like talk, and kind of like joke, kind of like a talk pack. So we got booked at the Green Gravel Comedy Festival, and they were lovely, everything was fine. And when we arrive in Iowa City, it's covered in snow, it's a, you know, it's exactly as you imagine.

• 11:25Speaker 03

  January.

• 11:26Henry Zebrowski?

  Yep. And I, uh, we get there, and the guy that's running the festival, again, very nice man, he was like, I just want you to know, we just wanted to make sure, we gotta get the house packed tonight, because unfortunately, Bob Saget's playing the university, right? So Bob Saget that night was already playing, uh, I think it was Iowa State?

• 11:45Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:46Henry Zebrowski?

  And so anybody that was anybody was at that show.

• 11:50Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 11:51Henry Zebrowski?

  And so he's like, so what we need to do, because big old college town, he was like, so I wanted to put butts in seats. So tonight, five dollars all you can drink. And so we said all these, we wanted to set it up so that all these guys.

• 12:03Speaker 03

  Five dollars?

• 12:04Henry Zebrowski?

  All you could drink. All the beer they could drink. And so by the time we hit stage for this quiet, very quiet.

• 12:13Speaker 03

  Three men in chairs.

• 12:14Henry Zebrowski?

  Three men kind of talking over clips, like we had a couple of bits that we were gonna do. The audience was the single drunkest group of human beings I have ever seen in my ever-lovin' life. I am talking.

• 12:29Speaker 03

  I didn't even know you can get drunk on beer in Iowa.

• 12:32Henry Zebrowski?

  They just did not stop drinking. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. People were all over each other to the point where.

• 12:39Speaker 03

  It's a wrestling culture.

• 12:40Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, yes. And there were a lot of cauliflower ears, and a lot of cauliflower titties. And so when we were out there, me and Dave were trying to begin the show and not having it, right? Audience is just, it's, it's like we didn't even begin. And then all of a sudden.

• 12:57Speaker 03

  Eddie couldn't yell at them enough?

• 12:59Henry Zebrowski?

  Dude, it did, it's me, Eddie Pepitone, could not get attention, right?

• 13:05Speaker 03

  That's wild.

• 13:06Henry Zebrowski?

  And then they were making, everybody, like, I just saw two people just making out in the front row, right? Like, just like, and not because it was a sexy show, it's me and Dave, right? And I, I love me and Dave. But when you see me and Dave and Eddie Pepitone.

• 13:21Speaker 03

  Pepitone.

• 13:21Henry Zebrowski?

  You're right. You don't, first thing you don't do is be like, man, that's the triple team I've been fucking waiting for. You know, like, it's never that.

• 13:28Speaker 03

  Eddie Pepitone.

• 13:30Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, God, Eddie Pepitone. And even, even now, he just had his prostate removed. And Eddie Pepitone's talking about, he's glad he can't get hard anymore, which is still my, Eddie not being able to get hard anymore is one of my favorite things in the world.

• 13:42Speaker 03

  It's about time for him.

• 13:44Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, go check him out over at Eddie Pep. Yeah, that's his Instagram. Go give him a follow. Go tell him I sent ya. But he, uh.

• 13:50Speaker 03

  His prostate's hitting the road as well.

• 13:52Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, it is.

• 13:52Speaker 03

  Separately.

• 13:53Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, right now it is in San Antonio, too, and the flappers there.

• 13:58Henry Zebrowski?

  So then Dave and I realized we couldn't continue to perform, so we just started playing Night Moves on the guitar.

• 14:05Speaker 03

  I mean, that's awesome.

• 14:06Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, and we sang Night Moves twice, and then we walked offstage.

• 14:10Speaker 03

  That sounds like actually a lot of fun.

• 14:12Henry Zebrowski?

  No, it was a nightmare, because we were in Iowa City.

• 14:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, because then you still gotta go home.

• 14:16Henry Zebrowski?

  Then we're just in Iowa City.

• 14:17Speaker 03

  You should've at least went to the Bob Saget Show. That, but that was a lot of fun.

• 14:20Henry Zebrowski?

  I couldn't get in, jam packed. Absolutely sold out.

• 14:25Speaker 03

  Man, remember when Murder Fist used to have those shows over at Soundfix? That was like, it was, it was basically, so there was this record store in the back of that venue. In order to get people to come to the comedy show, they would do free drinks for an hour, only well and PBR.

• 14:39Henry Zebrowski?

  Just know that open bars do not suit and live entertainment.

• 14:46Speaker 03

  No.

• 14:47Henry Zebrowski?

  It just doesn't.

• 14:48Speaker 03

  Literally every time we were on the show, we were also the bouncers.

• 14:52Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, and we were kicking people out.

• 14:54Speaker 03

  Like, remove, I would get offstage and like, bear hug people and throw them out the door and then do the next sketch.

• 14:59Henry Zebrowski?

  We really learned, to be honest, it was a great run on, it was a great training ground on how to do comedy in New York City.

• 15:08Speaker 03

  It really was.

• 15:09Henry Zebrowski?

  Four bars. Like, that was like, when we learned, like, how to get people's attention.

• 15:13Speaker 03

  How drunk I'm allowed to get.

• 15:15Henry Zebrowski?

  Exactly. Like, what's the level? What is the level? What is, what, what is, oh, man, we were, that was really important. Those were important times for us.

• 15:23Speaker 03

  They really were, but now they are over. Soundfix, R.I.P.

• 15:28Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, I think it's.

• 15:28Speaker 03

  Iowa City, R.I.P.

• 15:30Henry Zebrowski?

  Iowa City, yeah, R.I.P., it's done. It is done. God knows what happens there, but Iowa City, honestly, tell us where we should go.

• 15:37Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, is there a Christmas market? It's gonna be December. We can get ornaments together, Henry.

• 15:44Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, I can't wait, Eddie. Oh, God, I can't wait. We've already done that.

• 15:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, we did it in Columbus. It was a lot of fun, actually.

• 15:51Henry Zebrowski?

  So I'll do it again.

• 15:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, Henry and I buying Nutcrackers.

• 15:54Henry Zebrowski?

  You listened to the show, you've heard that.

• 15:56Speaker 03

  Fuck you.

• 15:57Henry Zebrowski?

  Now we just go to Severn DVD and buy all kinds of movies that are awful.

• 16:02Speaker 03

  God, the dude, we went to Severn Films. Go check them out. It was just like, I bought Threads on 4K. They have every movie that should not be put on Blu-ray or 4K.

• 16:11Henry Zebrowski?

  Dude, we got Baskin in 4K, dude.

• 16:14Speaker 03

  I got this movie called The Siege. I'm so excited to see it. The dude over there, I forget his name, was it Stefan? Steven?

• 16:21Henry Zebrowski?

  I don't know.

• 16:22Speaker 03

  Sean.

• 16:22Henry Zebrowski?

  Actually, don't, I don't remember, but we love him.

• 16:25Speaker 03

  Severn, I do love him. He was, he was great.

• 16:26Henry Zebrowski?

  I love him.

• 16:27Speaker 03

  Handlebar mustache. Loved him.

• 16:29Henry Zebrowski?

  I was, again, if you're selling.

• 16:31Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 16:32Henry Zebrowski?

  Near pornographic 4Ks at Midsummer Scream.

• 16:36Speaker 03

  Handlebar mustache.

• 16:37Henry Zebrowski?

  Handlebar mustache, yeah, that is required almost.

• 16:39Speaker 03

  It makes me trust you. Yeah, but, um, I got this movie I'm so excited to watch, it's called The Siege, and it's all about like, these cops that go on strike, which is really great, because I'm really into Robocop right now, so like, it works, it works out. And so, uh, so the cops go on strike, and then when the cops go on strike, they go to this gay bar, they kill everyone at the gay bar. Not funny, right? But here's what happened. One gay guy lives. He goes to the projects, and he enlists the projects to help him kill all the cops.

• 17:03Henry Zebrowski?

  It's gonna be fucking.

• 17:04Speaker 03

  Very excited to see this movie.

• 17:06Henry Zebrowski?

  Complicated themes.

• 17:07Speaker 03

  I was like, I'll take one of those, please.

• 17:10Henry Zebrowski?

  Thank you, sir.

• 17:11Speaker 03

  And I got a bunch of alligator movies. I'm very excited, um, yeah, we just went to the DVD guy every day.

• 17:17Henry Zebrowski?

  Basically.

• 17:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 17:18Henry Zebrowski?

  And see if he got new stuff.

• 17:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 17:20Henry Zebrowski?

  Each day, we went to see if he got new stuff, and then we got new stuff.

• 17:22Speaker 03

  Same stuff, and we just kept buying it and kept getting it, and I love it.

• 17:25Henry Zebrowski?

  To me, that's a sign of maturity, because you, guess what we didn't really buy? T-shirts.

• 17:30Speaker 03

  I bought four.

• 17:31Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, wow, never mind. See, I felt very proud of myself that I didn't buy any t-shirts.

• 17:36Speaker 03

  Actually, I bought five, now that I'm thinking about it. Yeah, I bought two for Julie, three for me.

• 17:41Henry Zebrowski?

  Actually, no, that's not great. That's not correct. I bought the Tusk t-shirt over at Creeparama.

• 17:44Speaker 03

  Creeparama, those guys.

• 17:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Tampa, shout out Florida.

• 17:47Speaker 03

  Yes, I'm incorrect. Best shirt I bought in the whole thing. It really was. I got a thing and a Psycho Gorman from them.

• 17:54Henry Zebrowski?

  You guys got to go to Midsummer Scream if you're in the area and you like horror movies. It is.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  What a way, what a way to spend money.

• 18:02Henry Zebrowski?

  And the best vendors, I think, at any con ever. Also, shout out to Bleach Cafe. The dude bleached a Last Podcast shirt for me and brought it back the next day.

• 18:09Speaker 03

  Hell, yeah.

• 18:09Henry Zebrowski?

  So dope.

• 18:10Speaker 03

  Yeah, we love this shit. Everyone was so nice.

• 18:12Henry Zebrowski?

  And before you think that we got paid for any of this, don't worry, we lost money.

• 18:16Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 18:16Henry Zebrowski?

  So this whole thing, literally, but you know what I mean?

• 18:19Speaker 03

  We sold merch, bud. I mean, it didn't do well.

• 18:22Henry Zebrowski?

  We like broke even, but that's how we do that. We sold all our merch. We also, the point of Midsummer Scream and our presence of Midsummer Scream is because of how much we love horror movies.

• 18:32Speaker 03

  How much am I getting paid for it?

• 18:34Henry Zebrowski?

  You got paid, Eddie, in the experience of meeting everyone.

• 18:40Speaker 03

  My, I got horrible knee problems now from standing on concrete in Jordan.

• 18:44Henry Zebrowski?

  Welcome, dude. That's fucking, that's called con knee.

• 18:48Speaker 03

  Dude, I mean, I've never had a more, a better advertisement for Hoka's my whole life.

• 18:52Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, dude.

• 18:53Speaker 03

  I fucking wore Hoka's on the third day and my knees are fine.

• 18:55Henry Zebrowski?

  Guess what we're gonna do next year?

• 18:57Speaker 03

  Sell Hoka's?

• 18:58Henry Zebrowski?

  I think we're gonna-

• 18:59Speaker 03

  LP and Hoka's?

• 19:00Henry Zebrowski?

  Dude, I think we're gonna have to get one of those, like, you know, those mats that you can stand on?

• 19:05Speaker 03

  Well, that's the thing, cuz I would get, I'm used to the kitchen and I would always have kitchen mats that I would stand on.

• 19:09Henry Zebrowski?

  We should have, we're changing, we're gonna change the setup next year.

• 19:11Speaker 03

  If you could put a kitchen mat underneath me, I'll be so much funnier and nicer to everybody.

• 19:16Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, yay. We'll set up a kitchen mat.

• 19:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, but I had such a good time. Thank you, everyone, again, for coming out and meeting us and hanging out at our booth. Only free signatures. It was cool to do that for people.

• 19:27Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, yeah, I'm not gonna ever charge for a signature. I don't believe in charging for a signature. But I do think that our goal next year is to have some unique merch.

• 19:34Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 19:34Henry Zebrowski?

  I think that's our goal.

• 19:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. We, we, this was a good learning experience, but we're gonna have some funny shit for you next year. I can't wait. Some really special stuff, some, uh, but yeah, come and get it. I love you guys.

• 19:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Fuck, suck, ain't shit. It's time for our get to our first story here.

• 19:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's a, that's the new, um, it's, it's the new clip.

  Transition, like the new transition.

• 19:55Speaker 03

  Yeah. Fuck my shit, come suck my dick.

• 23:59Speaker 03

  Live from your grave.

• 24:02Henry Zebrowski?

  Here we go. So this is about a young boy who dresses as a clown, stabbed an old person to death.

• 24:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, that, what could be more of a Last Podcast story than a teenager going, dressed in a clown outfit, big, baggy clown outfit? It was black, it was red.

• 24:21Henry Zebrowski?

  This is my thing.

• 24:22Speaker 03

  And there was a man at a bus stop and he murdered him for no reason.

• 24:25Henry Zebrowski?

  Now, figure dressed as a baggy, but I don't, like, the black and red clown outfit, I'm gonna go ahead and call that Harlequin.

• 24:32Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 24:34Henry Zebrowski?

  Not a clown.

• 24:35Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, I see what you're saying.

• 24:36Henry Zebrowski?

  Cuz, like, black and red, like, that's my thing, is that when you say-

• 24:39Speaker 03

  I've never seen a clown wear black.

• 24:41Henry Zebrowski?

  When you do, when you say the term clown, dresses a clown, I assume, like, more John Wayne Gacy style, more like circus clown, like, this is very ICP-coded, so in a way-

• 24:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, cuz he's wearing a ski mask. He's not wearing clown makeup.

• 24:55Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, that's why it's like, when it comes down to it, I just think that's a normal murderer.

• 24:58Speaker 03

  Yeah, he went, this is a weird, there's ring footage of him. He went to another lady's house and he rang it, uh, he rang-

• 25:05Henry Zebrowski?

  Looking to murder more.

• 25:06Speaker 03

  Looking to kill her. And then, uh, she didn't answer the door. Good on her, cuz she would have gotten killed.

• 25:11Henry Zebrowski?

  Don't answer the door if you don't know the person at the door, especially if they're wearing ICP gear and it's not one of the boys.

• 25:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 25:20Henry Zebrowski?

  Right? If ICP shows up at your door and they need a phone because their fucking Malenko truck broke down, you can let them in because I don't think that they're gonna do bad to you. I don't think what's-

• 25:32Speaker 03

  ICP people are good people.

• 25:34Henry Zebrowski?

  I'm not talking, no, I'm not talking about the fans. I'm talking about the band itself.

• 25:37Speaker 03

  I mean, they're dirty and they're, you know, they're gross and they live a horrible life, but they're good people.

• 25:43Henry Zebrowski?

  Again, this is not Juggalos. I'm saying that if Violet J or Shaggy Too Dope arrive, if it's the, either one of them, you can invite them into your home.

• 25:56Speaker 03

  Into the foyer.

• 25:57Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes.

• 25:58Speaker 03

  You can, you, there's always that room where you don't want them in. I'm not letting them in the bedroom. I'm not letting them use the personal toilet.

• 26:04Henry Zebrowski?

  You can use the front bathroom.

• 26:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, you can use the front bathroom. You go, you want some waters?

• 26:09Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 26:09Speaker 03

  That's how I would treat Violet J or Shaggy Too Dope. I'd be like, you just stay right here. I'll get you. You need a phone call? Great, absolutely. Want me to call AAA for you? Oh, he does, it's hard for you to come, they, they don't have a hookup?

• 26:21Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah.

• 26:21Speaker 03

  For your evil circus fan?

• 26:24Henry Zebrowski?

  You know the yellow line on the bus that you can't go past or, you know, or you'll get, uh, arrested by the driver?

• 26:29Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 26:29Henry Zebrowski?

  I got one in my house.

• 26:30Speaker 03

  Yep, it is, it is right where the living room is. It's right where the living room is. And be like, Violet J, love your energy, man. So this- Leave the dogs alone.

• 26:40Henry Zebrowski?

  This kid, this 15-year-old who did this crime, first off, they're keeping his name a secret, which is very weird.

• 26:45Speaker 03

  It's cuz he's a minor, I guess.

• 26:47Henry Zebrowski?

  But so many times, they're like, this child, James Frank, killed his family, you know, but this time they're keeping his name a secret.

• 26:54Speaker 03

  They're being classy.

• 26:55Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, I guess, uh, but he went to the, when he went to the ring door, not the person he killed, he goes, I have a gift for you. And then they didn't answer the door.

• 27:04Speaker 03

  Ah, fucking, yeah.

• 27:05Henry Zebrowski?

  That's hack. This is hack shit, okay, guys? That's my fucking problem with this. It's like, in the end, really, is that it's unoriginal.

• 27:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:13Henry Zebrowski?

  Like, I feel like he could have done this in many ways. I don't like that he wa, you know what it is? When I see an evil clown costume on you and you're murdering people, it feels like when they make the Annabelle doll too creepy on purpose.

• 27:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:25Henry Zebrowski?

  Like, no, it's creepier if it's just a rag doll, dude. This guy doesn't understand. If you just wore a regular, regulation clown outfit, that's way scarier.

• 27:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:35Henry Zebrowski?

  Like, this is the, I don't buy him. I don't think he really wants to be in the evil circus. I don't think he wants to join the mayhem carnival, dude.

• 27:43Speaker 03

  Well, he was just trying to kill old people, too.

• 27:45Henry Zebrowski?

  I know, but you could do that-

• 27:46Speaker 03

  You gotta kill children if you're dressed as a clown.

• 27:48Henry Zebrowski?

  Exactly, Eddie. That's another thing, true. If he was gonna scare old people, you'd do it this way, which is truly my favorite story of the week, which is a man dressed as the Grim Reaper.

• 28:00Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 28:00Henry Zebrowski?

  He stood on top of, so, all right, this is the thing.

• 28:03Speaker 03

  I can't tell if this guy's a villain or a hero.

• 28:05Henry Zebrowski?

  I like him.

• 28:07Speaker 03

  I like him. He's a necessary evil. Also, TMZ, don't put any more fucking AI images at the top of your articles. It's fucking stupid.

• 28:14Henry Zebrowski?

  I'm gonna freak out. All right, TMZ, you're already bad.

• 28:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're already bad.

• 28:18Henry Zebrowski?

  You're one of the best sources of news, sadly, in the country? But this is fucking bad, dude. You gotta stop with the AI.

• 28:26Speaker 03

  That's the first time I've seen that on their page and it fucking sucks and it looks stupid and you think it's shit.

• 28:30Henry Zebrowski?

  That's AI?

• 28:30Speaker 03

  Of course it's AI. What are you talking about?

• 28:33Henry Zebrowski?

  You know what, Eddie? It could just be normal- Photoshop, but it's probably AI.

• 28:37Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's definitely AI. It's definitely AI. Look how short her arm is. And then they gave her a big bicep for some reason.

• 28:42Henry Zebrowski?

  You know what? It's because she's been flicking her old ass be.

• 28:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, and it's a big one, too. It's a big old hunk, big old twinkie doodle. Yeah, it holds a bunch of potatoes. Yeah, come and take a look at my fucking big old frank. Yeah, it's a frankenfooder. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a wide set. What are those big hot dogs called? Knotwurst. Yeah, she got a knotwurst down there. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? It's a big Jewish hot dog.

• 29:12Speaker 03

  Knotwursts are delicious, by the way.

• 29:17Henry Zebrowski?

  I have no problem. I got bratwurst, I got an hour, I got both.

• 29:20Speaker 03

  So anyway.

• 29:21Henry Zebrowski?

  This man named Leon Gillespie. I love that his name is Leon Gillespie.

• 29:28Speaker 03

  It's a good one.

• 29:29Henry Zebrowski?

  Now, he was standing on top of this hospital, so he was.

• 29:33Speaker 03

  Across from the hospital, right?

• 29:34Henry Zebrowski?

  Was it across from the hospital? Yes.

• 29:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, cuz that cuz the people in the hospital, in the beds, would look out the window and see him standing, I think, on top of the parking garage.

• 29:44Henry Zebrowski?

  No, it's pretty great. So he sat there. It's like, it seemed to be he was across from the hospital.

• 29:48Speaker 03

  For an hour, he was up there.

• 29:49Henry Zebrowski?

  He had a scythe. He was waving it back and forth and pointing at people. Now, when they came to arrest him, cuz they called and they arrested him. This is in the UK, by the way. They came and they arrested him and they, uh, he said, I'm not a grim reaper. They're like, what do you mean you're not a grim reaper?

• 30:05Speaker 03

  Leon Gillespie?

• 30:08Henry Zebrowski?

  And he said, he's like, no, I'm a crow.

• 30:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, you want, he said he was a blackbird or a crow.

• 30:14Henry Zebrowski?

  No, he wasn't. He had a scythe.

• 30:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, you know, you were clearly the grim reaper staring at a hospital.

• 30:19Henry Zebrowski?

  It's the funniest thing.

• 30:20Speaker 03

  Funny about it. Just be, you know, don't sit there. Now you're saying you're guilty.

• 30:25Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, exactly. If I was.

• 30:27Speaker 03

  You're just, you had legs to stand on before. Now you're being like, oh, I'm an asshole and I'm trying to get away with it. You should have just owned it and been like, what? You're gonna stop me from dressing like the grim reaper staring at the hospital?

• 30:37Henry Zebrowski?

  This would be a really good opportunity to pitch something much like the film The Santa Claus, where the original grim reaper falls off a roof, and then he's found by a local young man, a broccoli.

• 30:51Speaker 03

  This is a phenomenal story.

• 30:52Henry Zebrowski?

  He then has to become the grim reaper.

• 30:55Speaker 03

  Copyright.

• 30:55Henry Zebrowski?

  Boom, done. He's then the grim reaper, and then his job is to kinda do it his own way. And he's like, oh, you know, and maybe this is what happened with Mitch McConnell, is that the fact that the grim reaper visited him, but like, didn't.

• 31:08Speaker 03

  He died on the way to see him at the hospital.

• 31:10Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, and that was a problem. It put him, put Mitch McConnell.

• 31:13Speaker 03

  Off the parking garage across the street from the hospital.

• 31:16Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, and now Mitch McConnell's hovering between because there's no one's there to fill the paperwork, because they just sent his brainstem home. Do you see that? They just sent him home?

• 31:28Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 31:28Henry Zebrowski?

  Discharged him.

• 31:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, well.

• 31:30Henry Zebrowski?

  Quote-unquote discharged him.

• 31:32Speaker 03

  Discharge is also what's fucking coming out of him at all times.

• 31:35Henry Zebrowski?

  Not a video of him leaving the hospital.

• 31:37Speaker 03

  Not a one of them.

• 31:38Henry Zebrowski?

  Him seeing, uh, sitting in a wheelchair waving, saying, I'm fine, can't wait to get back to work.

• 31:43Speaker 03

  It's an urn. They brought the urn to the house.

• 31:45Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes.

• 31:46Speaker 03

  Yes, and the urn's gonna be voting and it's, and it's gonna be very nice and like, yeah.

• 31:51Henry Zebrowski?

  If he's already dead, can I kill him again?

• 31:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 31:53Henry Zebrowski?

  Thanks.

• 31:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, no problem.

• 31:55Henry Zebrowski?

  But the Leo Gillespie, he went and he gave these people a thrill because I think it would be so fun to see the grim reaper before.

• 32:04Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 32:05Henry Zebrowski?

  Because then it really like affirms, I don't wanna see a tunnel of light.

• 32:10Speaker 03

  You'd rather see the grim reaper than light?

• 32:12Henry Zebrowski?

  Of course.

• 32:12Speaker 03

  Well, I think light makes sense because it's just your brain dying.

• 32:16Henry Zebrowski?

  Your brain shut down. Well, you get an influx of DMT.

• 32:19Speaker 03

  To me.

• 32:19Henry Zebrowski?

  Your brain floods with like DMT and adrenaline and all that kinda stuff that allows you to hallucinate, you know, as you die, so that it, it kinda comforts you, I believe.

• 32:30Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. Well, I, from, you know, from what I have been told by my father who died twice, is that, uh, there was nothing. He didn't know he died.

• 32:38Henry Zebrowski?

  I also feel that.

• 32:39Speaker 03

  He said there was nothing.

• 32:40Henry Zebrowski?

  Your dad.

• 32:43Speaker 03

  You don't think there's any light or grim reaper waiting for him? And that's why? There was just no one there to collect him? They were like, and they were like, you have to go back to Earth because we're just like, no one cares to collect you?

• 32:53Henry Zebrowski?

  I just think.

• 32:53Speaker 03

  Is that what you're trying to say about my father?

• 32:55Henry Zebrowski?

  I think they were just like, we're super busy right now. It was COVID.

• 33:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 33:00Henry Zebrowski?

  And I think that we're super busy right now, and honestly, we'll get back to you. I feel like it's one of those when your dad died, you know, when you cover up the, uh, you, you call and they're like, you can put your phone number in and we'll call you back in sixteen minutes. I think that's what they did to your dad.

• 33:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, my dad woke up and the nurse came up to him and said, wild night last night. And then he said, what are you talking about? She's like, you died. You were dead for six minutes.

• 33:26Henry Zebrowski?

  I don't need the nurse making fucking jokes about it. What do you mean, wild night last night?

• 33:32Speaker 03

  And I asked my dad, I was like, hey, so, uh, you see anything? And he said, there is nothing.

• 33:37Henry Zebrowski?

  God, he was so happy to tell you.

• 33:38Speaker 03

  He really was. He was a staunch atheist forever. Oh, yeah, and he was just like, guess what? The best part? Total blackness. Fucking ready for it. That's all I want.

• 33:47Henry Zebrowski?

  Is that how your dad talked?

• 33:49Speaker 03

  No, he was, he was, he was more, he had a voice like mine, actually.

• 33:52Henry Zebrowski?

  How, you can't, didn't you do an impression of your father?

• 33:55Speaker 03

  Not really.

• 33:55Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah.

• 33:56Speaker 03

  I can't, it was. You wasn't like, this year, I got so Eddie, why you fucking Eddie? That's more of my mom. Hmm, that's more.

• 34:03Henry Zebrowski?

  No, I remember your mom. It's, hey, Eddie. Hey, it's me, Eddie. I'm in heaven.

• 34:10Speaker 03

  That's, no, my mom was very, very kind and nice. Except for when she hit me.

• 34:15Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, that was different. That's your job.

• 34:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, that was, you know, that's, that's an East Coast woman and from the eighties, and they hit their children.

• 34:21Henry Zebrowski?

  No.

• 34:21Speaker 03

  And we still love them anyway for some reason.

• 34:23Henry Zebrowski?

  The key about an East Coast mother is that she has to hit you, and then in the crying of her apologizing for hitting you has to actually be worse than her hitting you. Okay, that's the rule. The rule is, the apology has to be more unpleasant than the abuse.

• 34:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, you just have to get big enough that when they hit you, you just laugh at them.

• 34:42Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 34:43Speaker 03

  Really, that honestly, that was my biggest weapon is when my mom would hit me and just be like, that didn't hurt, lady.

• 34:49Henry Zebrowski?

  I'll tell you what, my mom, uh, it always hurt.

• 34:52Speaker 03

  Really?

• 34:53Henry Zebrowski?

  She's real strong.

• 34:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 34:54Henry Zebrowski?

  She's got strong little hands.

• 34:55Speaker 03

  My mom was five-four, and I was a beast back then.

• 34:58Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, you were all, you were all jacked.

• 34:59Speaker 03

  I was all jacked up. I kinda liked getting hit.

• 35:01Henry Zebrowski?

  Of course.

• 35:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, it was, I was, I was the time of my life, and I was just like, let's fucking go, fuck lady, let's see what you got.

• 35:07Henry Zebrowski?

  So you just like, would tackle your mother, you'd just plow through her.

• 35:10Speaker 03

  Exactly. She was actually defending herself.

• 35:13Henry Zebrowski?

  Wow, cool.

• 35:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 35:14Henry Zebrowski?

  Wow. Oh, wow. Let's isolate this. So, let's talk about real quick, this, again, Leon Gillespie, he was arrested, given a two-hundred-pound fine and let go. Doesn't matter. No one cares. It's over. These people are gonna be dead soon.

• 35:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, who cares?

• 35:30Henry Zebrowski?

  You know, I don't know.

• 35:31Speaker 03

  I think it's a funny joke.

• 35:32Henry Zebrowski?

  I think it's funny. I understand.

• 35:34Speaker 03

  It's rude if someone was doing it. So I would, if I saw, if I went to the hospital to visit someone and I saw someone doing it, I would confront them and make them stop. It doesn't mean it's not funny.

• 35:44Henry Zebrowski?

  You know what it is? As I feel that if I was sick in a hospital bed, right?

• 35:49Speaker 03

  That's different.

• 35:50Henry Zebrowski?

  If I, but no.

• 35:51Speaker 03

  I'd laugh.

• 35:51Henry Zebrowski?

  I would laugh. Like, that would be hilarious. Like, that's like the thing that nobody understands, like, they should do that later on, when our generation is finally in hospice. Like, I would laugh my fucking ass off if they had a grim reaper coming through the hospital, like literally meeting everyone like, see you soon.

• 36:13Speaker 03

  Has a clipboard, just like crossing names off.

• 36:16Henry Zebrowski?

  That would be the fu, I'd be like, eh, fucker, try to take me, fucker. Like, that would be so funny.

• 36:21Speaker 03

  Looking for a James Thompson.

• 36:23Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, like that.

• 36:24Speaker 03

  James Thompson, looking for James Thompson.

• 36:28Henry Zebrowski?

  If you can't have a sense of humor, at that moment in time, dude, you're fucked as it is, man. Like, that's my thing, is that I'd rather be laughing, cuz if you're not laughing, you're crying.

• 36:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 36:39Henry Zebrowski?

  So, yeah, and that's funny to me. Also, send a stripper through.

• 36:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, they do that.

• 36:45Henry Zebrowski?

  They, do they do that?

• 36:46Speaker 03

  Well, I don't think the hospital does, but people send strippers to the hospital. I know that happens. You could, I mean, they do it. Don't worry about it.

• 36:54Henry Zebrowski?

  We were talking about HoSpice, but I'm talking about in real life.

• 36:56Speaker 03

  No, real life. Yeah, no, HoSpice is your thing. That's different.

• 37:00Henry Zebrowski?

  My thing.

• 37:00Speaker 03

  That's your thing.

• 37:01Henry Zebrowski?

  There's a place called Chesley Trust back in the day that did use to bring in strippers.

• 37:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:06Henry Zebrowski?

  For people dying.

• 37:07Speaker 03

  People are hirable.

• 37:10Henry Zebrowski?

  I love this. My hospice patient hired an escort as his caregiver. Of course.

• 37:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, why not?

• 37:15Henry Zebrowski?

  Fuck, yeah, dude. Stroke that dick, bro, buddy. If it working, if you got cancer riddled in your body and your dick still works, fucking, God bless.

• 37:22Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. Um, I'm looking through our stories. They're all kinda like today. There is one, I feel like that's a precautionary tale, that we should tell people about. The, um, North Carolina couple.

• 37:34Henry Zebrowski?

  This is super, this is a lesson.

• 37:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:36Henry Zebrowski?

  That I want to, this is actually kind of almost a serious lesson.

• 37:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:40Henry Zebrowski?

  So, two people in Burke County, they're facing first-degree murder charges, all right? So they shot two people. So, uh, Dalton Berry, uh, and what seems to be his partner, the, the suspects are Jamar Props and Tasha Lewis.

• 37:56Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:56Henry Zebrowski?

  Right? So the murder victims are Carla and Raheem Murray. They were in the Morganton hems. They both work in Morganton hemp.

• 38:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:07Henry Zebrowski?

  Right? Some, some really gross weed store out there and they-

• 38:12Speaker 03

  North Carolina's trying.

• 38:14Henry Zebrowski?

  They are trying. And so these guys were, um, the Murrays were happily talking about a large inheritance that they were gonna receive.

• 38:25Speaker 03

  Seventy-five thousand dollars.

• 38:27Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes. And they were saying that this was coming and they were, I would say, almost bragging about it.

• 38:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:34Henry Zebrowski?

  To their-

• 38:35Speaker 03

  They were excited and they, they didn't, they weren't smart enough to keep their mouth shut.

• 38:39Henry Zebrowski?

  Of course not. And so what happened is that they invited a, a person by the name of Jamar Probst. I guess he stayed over the night, um, and they seems that then they left the door open. They were hanging out. They talked about this. Whoever was staying over in the night left the door open so that the other could come, either Tasha, or I believe it was Tasha came in. They shot them in their sleep, right? The murder them in their sleep, then used their faces to open up their cash app.

• 39:12Speaker 03

  On their phone.

• 39:13Henry Zebrowski?

  On their phone and sent nineteen grand to themselves from the cash app.

• 39:17Speaker 03

  It's just so easy to get caught.

• 39:21Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, it's because not everybody is a master criminal. And in this story, it seems that the desperation took over.

• 39:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 39:31Henry Zebrowski?

  And they don't quite, uh, wrap their heads around the idea of evidence or investigate, the fact that they're even gonna investigate it, or the fact that when you create a type of fucking absolutely deadlock trail, like a, uh, uh, full-on opening of your own phone inside the murder location with the app directly with your fucking name on it, your bank information attached to it. Like it's a whole thing. So it is super easy. They then buried the bodies. It's just, it's just fucked. The le- the lesson here is if you're coming into money.

• 40:09Speaker 03

  And you're, let's, I mean, not to be an asshole, if you're in a, like a poor neighborhood.

• 40:13Henry Zebrowski?

  Specifically, truly, if you're in a poor neighborhood.

• 40:16Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 40:16Henry Zebrowski?

  Because like, that's what's hard is that, uh, but I'll say across the board, you never know. People will come after you.

• 40:22Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 40:23Henry Zebrowski?

  The idea, if you say the words, I got free money coming, you're going to get the attention of somebody that is not gonna have your best intentions in mind.

• 40:33Speaker 03

  It may not be someone who's gonna fucking shoot you and use your face to open their phone and send a bunch of money to themselves with the cash app, but they will annoy you.

• 40:42Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, yes. You will get, no one, uh, this is my pro tip. If you're coming into money, if you got inheritance, if you win the lottery, if you, uh, invent something that you maybe there's not a direct trail to you. If you make a nice app that makes a fuck ton of money. The, somewhere where they're like, kind of one of those things that comes in, especially like lottery inheritance.

• 41:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 41:03Henry Zebrowski?

  Say nothing.

• 41:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, just keep living your life comfortably.

• 41:08Henry Zebrowski?

  Get the money.

• 41:09Speaker 03

  Just get a little night, just upgrade your car.

• 41:11Henry Zebrowski?

  Change nothing. Change nothing except for, yeah, the little tangible things. Unless you make that big old fuck you, fuck you money.

• 41:19Speaker 03

  And then you just leave wherever you're from.

• 41:21Henry Zebrowski?

  Disappear.

• 41:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 41:22Henry Zebrowski?

  Never, don't tell anybody that you got that money, ever. Make, and cause also, here's the line. Fuck you money's not till ten million. Remember that. Fuck you money.

• 41:32Speaker 03

  One million means nothing.

• 41:33Henry Zebrowski?

  It means nothing. Ten million, you can put half in the bank and that will make you go for the rest of your life. Right? That's where ten mil- ten million's the number. If you've got less than ten million, don't kill everybody yet.

• 41:47Speaker 03

  Yes, that's the problem.

• 41:48Henry Zebrowski?

  That's the key. So kill somebody. What's your amount to kill somebody for, Eddie?

• 41:52Speaker 03

  To kill somebody? I mean, nothing. I, I, I would never do it.

• 41:56Henry Zebrowski?

  Wow.

• 41:57Speaker 03

  I would never, I would never, I mean, I would kill, I mean, it would have to be a crime of passion.

• 42:01Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, yeah.

• 42:01Speaker 03

  I wouldn't do it for money. I would never do it for money.

• 42:04Henry Zebrowski?

  My passion for money would be the reason why.

• 42:05Speaker 03

  I don't think, I don't think there is a number. Like, it's like, cause it, cause if I got a billion dollars, I would just like try to help people.

• 42:13Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, a billion dollars is fucking unrealistic.

• 42:15Speaker 03

  Exactly. And like, and then-

• 42:17Henry Zebrowski?

  A hundred million, I'd, I'd probably kill somebody for.

• 42:20Speaker 03

  See, I don't care.

• 42:21Henry Zebrowski?

  See, I'd do it just for the sake of, like, I'd take that money and then, hmm, I'd buy the kill dozer with it. And then I get all the revenge.

• 42:30Speaker 03

  You'd get a kill dozer for fucking forty, fifty grand, probably.

• 42:33Henry Zebrowski?

  I don't, that's if I'm not building it. That's if I'm building it.

• 42:36Speaker 03

  Yeah. Oh, yeah. You wanna buy a kill dozer.

• 42:38Henry Zebrowski?

  I'm gonna need to get somebody to work on it. And I'm gonna get a kill dozer guy. You need somebody can get all the parts. You didn't got, you need a union welder.

• 42:47Speaker 03

  Two fifty, I'm thinking now. Two hundred and fifty grand. A real proper kill dozer.

• 42:51Henry Zebrowski?

  Okay. Side stories, L P O T L, gmail dot com. If I can get the two fifty grand, can we build this together?

• 42:56Speaker 03

  Yeah. LPN themed.

• 43:00Henry Zebrowski?

  I just wanna take it over. I wanna take over a small town.

• 43:02Speaker 03

  It's the world's biggest battle bot.

• 43:04Henry Zebrowski?

  That's it.

• 43:04Speaker 03

  That's all it is. That's all we're doing over here. But yeah, so, uh, don't tell people if you make a bunch of money cause they'll just kill you in the night.

• 43:11Henry Zebrowski?

  Never tell them. Keep it to yourself. Just take the money and just, just, just don't, don't do it. I know it's, it's fun to do. It's fun to brag.

• 43:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 43:19Henry Zebrowski?

  But don't do it. Cause you're gonna get shot in the face.

• 43:22Speaker 03

  All right. So who are we looking at here? Um?

• 43:24Henry Zebrowski?

  Perez Hilton, we could talk about slightly. It's a fucked up story.

• 43:28Speaker 03

  To say about this, man. It's just like, it, it, you live this life and then it ends bad. I mean, like, and like, I don't know what to do about this.

• 43:36Henry Zebrowski?

  For those of you-

• 43:36Speaker 03

  I don't like the man, but this is awful.

• 43:38Henry Zebrowski?

  For those of you that are not of this generation, Perez Hilton was one of the original snark bloggers of all time. He used to terrorize celebrities and he used to like draw a cum on them. He used to draw like, you know, draw cum on all the pictures. He used to out, uh, celebrities that were in the closet. He used to make fun of children.

• 44:01Speaker 03

  Picture of her vagina when she was seventeen.

• 44:03Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, he's, uh, he was one of those original, original trolls. And I got a lot of people, um, there's a lot of people that, you know, it's a controversial story because Perez Hilton, I guess, last week went live and in-

• 44:18Speaker 03

  On TikTok.

• 44:19Henry Zebrowski?

  On TikTok and he, uh, straight up, uh, did a Buffalo Bill style. He was, I saw the stills from it. I was like trying to find the video of it. I couldn't find it. But he was covered in blood, uh, completely naked. You could see his penis.

• 44:34Speaker 03

  He was cutting himself a bunch.

• 44:35Henry Zebrowski?

  Cutting himself a bunch and he basically threatened to commit suicide. Now I believe he is hospitalized. I think they're-

• 44:40Speaker 03

  They Baker acted him in Florida.

• 44:42Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes. Um, just so you, his real name's fucking Mario.

• 44:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Uh, which makes sense. But he, he got this, the thing about him is that like, I am, I'm one of those. I get it. I'm full troll, right? I'm, I'm with you. I'm, I'm one of those where it's like, I, I, I understand.

• 45:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, but you're not selling pictures of minors' vaginas.

• 45:05Henry Zebrowski?

  No, because I'm a fucking criminal. But I'm, I'm a guy that understands that a part of my existence is going to make thirty percent of the people who listen to me angry, right? And I like that. That's what I live for.

• 45:21Speaker 03

  It's part of, yeah, it's part of what makes us appealable.

• 45:23Henry Zebrowski?

  But also I like to entertain people. I just want, in the end, even though I am offending these people, I mostly really, in my heart of hearts, wanna entertain them.

• 45:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, but he doesn't tell jokes.

• 45:34Henry Zebrowski?

  No. So Perez Hilton, I think for a while, got off in kind of this, at the time when things were really, really mean and we were kind of going hard at Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and all that kind of stuff. And now we're back in a mean place, right? Now we're in a mean place again and I just find it interesting.

• 45:52Speaker 03

  Still a lot of people who are nice now. Back then I felt like almost nobody was nice.

• 45:56Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, yes, it was, we were really take, because it was-

• 45:59Speaker 03

  We didn't see the repercussions yet.

• 46:00Henry Zebrowski?

  No, we didn't understand. But now it feels like people are still making a fuck ton of money being extremely mean.

• 46:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:06Henry Zebrowski?

  Extremely unfair and exploitive. And so you'd think that Perez Hilton would be doing really well in this time period. But it seems that he's not. And I think that it shows that if you live an essentially morally bankrupt life, eventually it all comes around.

• 46:24Speaker 03

  It's interesting because it was like him and TMZ were like head and head. They were both just as popular as each other. At least I thought they were.

• 46:33Henry Zebrowski?

  Sort, yeah.

• 46:33Speaker 03

  And then, and then at some point Perez kinda went crazy and TMZ went a little more straight edge.

• 46:39Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah. And well, now TMZ is, is in Washington DC technically doing some of the better investigative reporting inside the city right now. Even though they're fucking, the people at TMZ are monsters.

• 46:51Speaker 03

  They are monsters. Please do not misconstrue our, our, the way we talk about them as being nice about them.

• 46:59Henry Zebrowski?

  No.

• 46:59Speaker 03

  They just do.

• 47:00Henry Zebrowski?

  They just get the story.

• 47:01Speaker 03

  They're the first person with the story.

• 47:02Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, they get the story. They're not, they are not, I don't want, want them and I don't want to ever be a center of one of their investigations. But what they do is they get that information fucking fast as hell.

• 47:14Speaker 03

  Yeah. And it's evil sometimes. Sometimes celebrities die and the person they find out their fucking family member died from was a TMZ person.

• 47:22Henry Zebrowski?

  Of course. And then, um, and then technically Perez Hilton, he tried to apologize. I guess earlier this year, he was trying to apologize. I guess that was the big deal is that that's why he's now, he's doing this. But I think his problem is that I-

• 47:34Speaker 03

  No one wanted to hear it.

• 47:35Henry Zebrowski?

  To me, it seems that his apology didn't take and then he's deciding to do something else that is, I'm not going to say it's disingenuous.

• 47:43Speaker 03

  I mean, yeah, no, I'm sure it's genuine, but at the same time, it's like, all right, you're sorry. I don't give a fuck.

• 47:48Henry Zebrowski?

  You don't have-

• 47:49Speaker 03

  I still don't, doesn't mean I gotta like you.

• 47:51Henry Zebrowski?

  No, it's like you can change your mind.

• 47:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 47:53Henry Zebrowski?

  And you can try to change.

• 47:54Speaker 03

  But you still did it.

• 47:55Henry Zebrowski?

  But also just because you apologized doesn't mean people have to accept it.

• 47:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 47:59Henry Zebrowski?

  You know, and so I think he flipped out when people didn't immediately accept his apology. And then now, and then he tried to do a thing. And yes, I do think he needs help, but we shall see how serious the attempt was.

• 48:11Speaker 03

  I think the, um, the real villain here is TikTok.

• 48:14Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, that's just-

• 48:15Speaker 03

  Leaving the fucking, but they cut off live streams when you're like, when you're filming an ICE officer, they'll fucking cut off the live stream.

• 48:21Henry Zebrowski?

  Dude, we're already-

• 48:22Speaker 03

  He's slicing his own throat and they keep it up.

• 48:25Henry Zebrowski?

  We already passed the point. Dude, straight up, we're past the point if we're thinking that we're gonna get any form of accountability. Like, we're not getting any accountability on the corporate side for another like five years. So just, we gotta get rid of even just that idea. Like, if you look at ChatGPT, what OpenAI is doing, all of these things, we're like, there, we are, we are outside of the accountability era right now. So we just need to get, we just need to survive this next five years of what's the, the over the, oh, no. Chat, social media rampaging.

• 48:57Speaker 03

  Yes, because there are, I mean, like, there's seriously, we have an article we didn't even bring up today because it was so thick with Chat GPT fucking influencing a mass shooter.

• 49:08Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, that mass shooter dude just constantly begged, all he did, we read a very interesting article from, I forgot which publication this was from, it was from Mother Jones, about the mass shooter at Florida State, Phoenix Ichner. And you could see this person was openly talking about suicide, called themselves an incel, was constantly talking about the other mass shooters, what they did, what would the effect of him doing a mass shooting at FSU would be like? Right? And the thing is about OpenAI is that it is, it send all these messages being like, call 998, like all this fucking horseshit.

• 49:51Henry Zebrowski?

  But it's still never just called the police.

• 49:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 49:56Henry Zebrowski?

  If the machine had any form of regulation inside of it, the second someone said they were planning a shooting, it would call the police themselves.

• 50:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, or even asking about it. As someone who Googles horrible shit all the time, fucking check me on it too. I would love to tell you I'm just working.

• 50:13Henry Zebrowski?

  But also they do.

• 50:14Speaker 03

  You know, I don't give a fuck.

• 50:15Henry Zebrowski?

  But we don't talk, we not talking to the fake thing in a box, Chat GPT.

• 50:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, we're not pretending we're friends with it.

• 50:22Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, it's, we're not, it's all fake. Large language models are fake.

• 50:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:27Henry Zebrowski?

  They are fake. There's nothing, there is no ghost in the shell. It's like the opposite. There's nothing in there. So you're just letting it revert, like, say the same things back to you over and over again. And just because.

• 50:40Speaker 03

  You're training it to be your friend.

• 50:42Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes. So, and they are, because OpenAI is rushing towards its IPO opening, it's trying to get all this shit done, because they even had meetings. In the Mother Jones article, it talks about how they had already flagged him. They had meetings about this dude, but they just didn't do anything, because that would mean they would have to.

• 51:01Speaker 03

  Do something all the time.

• 51:03Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes.

• 51:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, which is fucked up. But meanwhile, we're just dealing with cops abusing flock cameras to follow their girlfriends and shit. Or like, or women they're attracted to, or someone just trying to drive over to a cooler state to buy weed and come home.

• 51:17Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, it's just all like, so just, just so you know, we're just gonna have to make it through the next five years. And I just think that when it comes to somebody like Perez Hilton, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. So we'll see how it goes. Hopefully he gets the help he needs and maybe he can figure his shit out. You know, God fucking knows. I mean, there's gotta be, I do believe, depending on what you've done in this life, there does need to be a place of redemption.

• 51:44Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 51:45Henry Zebrowski?

  For people. I don't think, I mean, not for pedophiles as far as I'm concerned, but I do think there needs to be a place for redemption, because what's the point of anything?

• 51:54Speaker 03

  Well, yeah, if you're gonna have prison, there has to be redemption. That's the thing. You know, it's just like, if that exists, then you have to let people back into society.

• 52:02Henry Zebrowski?

  This could be his redemption moment if he could figure it out for himself.

• 52:06Speaker 03

  But I'm still, I'm never gonna like him.

• 52:08Henry Zebrowski?

  It doesn't matter. You gotta, he's gotta like him.

• 52:10Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 52:11Henry Zebrowski?

  Perez Hilton's gotta go away and he needs to find a thing for himself.

• 52:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, good luck.

• 52:17Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, I mean, well, yeah, exactly. So does a tree fall in the forest, if a tree falls in the forest, do we hear it?

• 52:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:22Henry Zebrowski?

  Exactly. Who fucking knows how these people look? Look at Rachel Dolezal, who's now becoming, who's now Niketchi Diallo. Because now she just became a sex coach. We're gonna talk about this next week.

  No, I'm sorry, her name, Niketchi Diallo.

• 52:39Speaker 03

  Niketchi.

  These people out there today, they're just putting protein in everything. I got stuck in Prairie DuChene last week, all the way in Wisconsin. I wanted a cup of coffee. I walked a mile for a cup of coffee and they only sold protein coffee. I lost my mind. I flipped out. I'm like, if I want protein, I'm eating Omaha Steaks. And that's what I do. I get my Omaha Steaks and I put it on the grill and then I take it and I put it in the blender and I put some coffee on it and that's how I take my coffee, Omaha Steak Style. And you can too, all right? Omaha Steaks has nothing to hide.

And I'm telling you, thank you Omaha Steaks for sending me my big box of steaks, because Julie likes steaks.

• 57:41Speaker 03

  Live from your grave. Oh, but here's what I, here's what I want to talk about. This is an old story that I've never heard about. And I don't know how true it is, but I love it and it's unbelievable. Between 2002 and 2012, I, this comes off of, I literally got this off of Instagram. So I hope it's not fake. Um, six people were killed in the Philippines video key bars over renditions of Frank Sinatra's My Way. All right. It was, so basically what would happen is it's, they're so intense with their karaoke over there that with people would sing My Way off key, people would shoot them and kill them.

• 58:22Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, you know what it seems like? It's kind of funny because it is real. The My Way killings are considered real. They're a social phenomenon in the Philippines. And it seems that it's not, nobody's saying that it's My Way specifically. It seems to have happened with My Way specifically because of the nature of the song.

• 58:43Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 58:43Henry Zebrowski?

  The song is a selfish.

• 58:47Speaker 03

  Machismo.

• 58:48Henry Zebrowski?

  Machismo, standing up to the world. I'll always be haunted by My Way because I always will.

• 58:54Speaker 03

  You love it, song.

• 58:56Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, no, the song I love is That's Life.

• 58:59Speaker 03

  Oh, that's li- that's right. You like That's Life.

• 59:02Henry Zebrowski?

  The thing, My Way is, is, it's considered a satanic anthem.

• 59:05Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 59:06Henry Zebrowski?

  But my problem with that song is that I'm always, I'm haunted always by the, the, I'll always remember 2016 in the election, when Trump and Melania were doing the fir- their first dance was to My Way.

• 59:19Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 59:20Henry Zebrowski?

  And I'm always been, I've been like haunted by that song ever since, because it's just like, watching them do that dance was like me realizing like, oh, we're fucked.

• 59:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:31Henry Zebrowski?

  Um, and they, but this is a, this is very interesting because it is true. It seems because number one, My Way is a big old like, I did it my way. So it's like, it's really obnoxious. It is a fucking, it's a crowd clearer.

• 59:50Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 59:51Henry Zebrowski?

  If you do it wrong.

• 59:52Speaker 03

  Uh, but a security guard shot someone named Romy Biligula, um, back in two, 2007 for singing it off key. That was the most famous one. But yeah, apparently it's because people were saying it off key. And then now you can't even find it in most karaoke bars in the Philippines because so many people got killed singing My Way.

• 1:00:12Henry Zebrowski?

  They've been pulling it out. This is really interesting. This is like, there's a whole article on this that I'm looking at this right now. We may have to like, do something like follow up on this. Like, there's a proper little breakdown. This is really funny. There's a whole series of karaoke rage murders. It's crazy.

• 1:00:26Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:00:26Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes. In August 2007.

• 1:00:29Speaker 03

  I hate karaoke. I'd much rather just listen to the music.

• 1:00:32Henry Zebrowski?

  I lo- I do love it.

• 1:00:33Speaker 03

  I, I will go do it and I will participate if it's at the bar, you know, whatever. I will be a part of it. I'm a performer. I'm not that big of an asshole. But if I'm just chilling and I go to a bar and there's karaoke, I walk out and I go to the next bar.

• 1:00:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Of course. But I, you know, you know me, I'm a theater child at heart. But these, the killings connected to singing the song may simply just say, I love this one explanation is that My Way is just extremely popular in violent environments.

• 1:01:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:01:02Henry Zebrowski?

  And that the song.

• 1:01:02Speaker 03

  It's a mafia song.

• 1:01:03Henry Zebrowski?

  In bad neighborhoods, the song My Way is sang more. And so that, like, that's really a funny idea. But look at this dude in China in 2012, a guy killed two people with a meat cleaver doing a song he didn't like. In July 2013, an American was stabbed to death refusing to stop singing in Krabi, Thailand. And March 22, oh yeah, that's right. I forgot about this. Ezra Miller got flipped out of a karaoke bar. I love that he's on this list.

• 1:01:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He fucking flipped out of a karaoke bar. That's pretty great. Dude, how about the guy in Thailand who shot eight people to death, including his own brother-in-law in a dispute stemming from several karaoke offerings, including someone repeatedly singing John Denver's Take Me Home Country Road.

• 1:01:50Henry Zebrowski?

  Take me home, country road, to the place I belong, West Virginia.

• 1:01:57Speaker 03

  I love that song, but six times in a row.

• 1:02:00Henry Zebrowski?

  Take me home, country road, take me home, country road, to the place I belong, West Virginia. Mama, take me home, country road.

• 1:02:12Speaker 03

  Cause it's annoying.

• 1:02:14Henry Zebrowski?

  Country road.

• 1:02:14Speaker 03

  I just want to hear John Denver. I don't want to hear Henry.

• 1:02:18Henry Zebrowski?

  But it is a, I love this idea of people because it's true. I just think people are liquored up. I think it's emotional place to be in. You're vulnerable.

• 1:02:31Speaker 03

  It's people who don't perform, are performing.

• 1:02:33Henry Zebrowski?

  I'm, I'll always.

• 1:02:34Speaker 03

  People really care.

• 1:02:35Henry Zebrowski?

  The one time.

• 1:02:36Speaker 03

  Every time I go to karaoke, there's like four people there who fucking really, really care.

• 1:02:42Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, I'm one.

• 1:02:43Speaker 03

  No, you're not.

• 1:02:44Henry Zebrowski?

  Well, I don't get upset.

• 1:02:46Speaker 03

  No, there's people who it's like, that's what they, that's their thing.

• 1:02:49Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm not, I'm not, uh, I have a life.

• 1:02:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:02:54Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, no, I like to do other things in my life. I just really love karaoke. And when I do it, I fucking do it. But I will say.

• 1:03:00Speaker 03

  How many times is one person allowed to do karaoke in a night?

• 1:03:04Henry Zebrowski?

  Three times.

• 1:03:05Speaker 03

  Three times, right? That's, I feel like that's safe. That's a good safe limit.

• 1:03:08Henry Zebrowski?

  That is the maximum amount of songs a singular person should be able to sing.

• 1:03:13Speaker 03

  Unless you're incredible and people are begging for it.

• 1:03:16Henry Zebrowski?

  No one is.

• 1:03:17Speaker 03

  No one is.

• 1:03:18Henry Zebrowski?

  No one is. Cause they want to go. Because they want to sing. Cause it's not about being incredible. It's about being, it's about you singing.

• 1:03:25Speaker 03

  I will say, Henry is amazing at doing Natural Woman.

• 1:03:28Henry Zebrowski?

  I do love Mike. I love karaoke, but I have found that my demos are, my demos are sliding away from me, buddy.

• 1:03:35Speaker 03

  Yeah. No, I, I sang Blueberry Hill recently. No one knew what the fuck I was doing.

• 1:03:39Henry Zebrowski?

  I went in there and I sang.

• 1:03:40Speaker 03

  Hold on, hold on. No one knows Blueberry Hill?

• 1:03:43Henry Zebrowski?

  I went to go sing Heaven, Let Your Light Shine Down by Collective Soul.

• 1:03:48Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. That's not even that old.

• 1:03:50Henry Zebrowski?

  No, it's fucking brand new song. And I went to the karaoke bar surrounded by zoomers. And I was doing, cause it's one of my favorite things. Cause like, I was one of the first guys up there singing, right? We got there kind of early. So I went up there singing and I kept going, whoa, whoa, here, let your light shine down. And then when he got to the part, right? I was doing the, I was trying to hand the yeah over to the audience as you should, right?

• 1:04:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. Cause it's their part.

• 1:04:21Henry Zebrowski?

  And then when I went to go do it, these zoomers are staring at me like I'm a fucking police officer. They're like looking at me and I was like, yeah, yeah. But no, you're all.

• 1:04:32Henry Zebrowski?

  You're supposed to sing your, why aren't you singing your?

• 1:04:36Speaker 03

  Well.

• 1:04:39Henry Zebrowski?

  Your earl. Nothing.

• 1:04:41Speaker 03

  Not to be, you know, we're gonna.

• 1:04:42Henry Zebrowski?

  Silence.

• 1:04:43Speaker 03

  We're going to a full.

• 1:04:44Henry Zebrowski?

  I've never bombed. I've never bombed in karaoke before.

• 1:04:47Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:04:48Henry Zebrowski?

  It was one of the first time I've ever bombed in karaoke and I felt like, I felt like Elon Musk dancing. You know what I mean? I felt like, how did I get here? Why am I like this? This shouldn't be like this.

• 1:04:58Speaker 03

  Now you know how Collective Soul feels.

• 1:05:00Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, wow.

• 1:05:03Speaker 03

  You know, these kids, man, you know, they were getting on, I know, but whatever. You know, these kids are not as smart as they used to be. Um, for instance, um, this boy in Arkansas, he's a football player. Uh, he was playing, it was football practice, uh, for two hours before he realized there was a rattlesnake in his helmet.

• 1:05:22Henry Zebrowski?

  Now, god damn it, son. I don't know what I have. I don't know what I have to do to get through to you. All right. There's an active serpent next to your brain. I don't understand, son. I don't know. I know. I know. Son, there is two mice running around your shoulders.

• 1:05:45Speaker 03

  Yeah. It was like, my helmet doesn't fit right today. How big is it? So the helmet is supposed to be so tight. You can't put it on. It's the only way it works.

• 1:05:55Henry Zebrowski?

  God fucking damn it, son.

• 1:05:57Speaker 03

  Two foot thick.

• 1:05:58Henry Zebrowski?

  Son, I need you. How in the living fuck are you gonna run the fucking rush program against fucking McGonkess State? And you can't feel a rattlesnake in your hair.

• 1:06:13Speaker 03

  The snake was two fifths as long as his body.

• 1:06:16Henry Zebrowski?

  Buddy, I got to say, your situational awareness is at a zero. I need you to pump it up. Are you even aware I'm talking to you right now, son? Are you, do you know my name, son? What's my name?

• 1:06:32Speaker 03

  Well, your new name is Snakehead.

• 1:06:34Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes. Guess what, Snakehead? You're about to do fucking, you're about to do 50 pushups, okay? I'm gonna put. A snake on your back. Alright, I'm sick and tired. You're gonna eat the snake in front of me.

• 1:06:47Henry Zebrowski?

  We're gonna take this snake out, you're gonna smoke the entire snake, right in front of me and your mother. We're gonna get it out now. You smoke the whole fucking thing and you be sick.

• 1:06:56Speaker 03

  God damn it, snakehead!

• 1:06:59Henry Zebrowski?

  Damn it, snakehead. I just... Snakehead, why are you... Get out of the gully! God damn it, snakehead. If you weren't six foot four, I'd fucking beat you to death myself. Alright, but I need you. I need you. The big old house is gonna take us over. It's gonna take us over with a title. We're gonna take us up title, right? I don't care if it's snakehead.

• 1:07:20Speaker 03

  Man, there was this big old kid we used to play with. We used to call him Dump Truck and he was so stupid.

• 1:07:24Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:25Speaker 03

  And then one day he-

• 1:07:26Henry Zebrowski?

  You don't get the name Dump Truck by being a fucking engineering student.

• 1:07:29Speaker 03

  He was strong as fuck, man. But he loved his nickname Dump Truck. And one day, he went to the barber to like get it like shaved into the back of his head.

• 1:07:37Henry Zebrowski?

  Definitely, yeah.

• 1:07:38Speaker 03

  And then he came back and it said Dunk Truck. Cause he had a lisp. So the barber didn't know he said Dump Truck. He thought he said Dunk Truck.

• 1:07:50Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, I guess, whatever.

• 1:07:51Speaker 03

  He showed us all his head, cause he thought it said Dump Truck, but it said Dunk Truck.

• 1:07:56Henry Zebrowski?

  That's pretty great.

• 1:07:56Speaker 03

  Ah, one of the great moments of my life.

• 1:07:58Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, but now he is the Attorney General of the state of Florida.

• 1:08:02Speaker 03

  No, what's funny is I don't remember his real name.

• 1:08:04Henry Zebrowski?

  No, cause you shouldn't. He's probably dead. There's no way he's alive.

• 1:08:10Speaker 03

  But that's the kinda kid that ends up with a snake in his helmet.

• 1:08:13Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh yeah.

• 1:08:13Speaker 03

  Damn it, son!

• 1:08:18Henry Zebrowski?

  Alright, where we at now? We're time for this? Where we at now?

• 1:08:20Speaker 02

  It's time, it's time.

• 1:08:21Speaker 03

  Listener mail, do we have a new stinger?

• 1:08:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, okay.

• 1:08:40Henry Zebrowski?

  I understand it's good, but I hate it. It is extremely well made. You're a very talented person.

• 1:08:46Speaker 03

  They're very talented. I hope I never hear it again.

• 1:08:48Henry Zebrowski?

  You know, it's just not... That's very gurney coded.

• 1:08:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, it's very-

• 1:08:54Henry Zebrowski?

  Cause Kelly sends me lots of videos now, which I love, cause you know, we'll go back and forth on Instagram, but she sends me... The new thing has been emo covers of Phantom of the Opera songs.

• 1:09:06Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:09:07Henry Zebrowski?

  It's like a whole thing. Oh no, now I just know, they're horrific. I just send them to Natalie to annoy her.

• 1:09:13Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:09:14Henry Zebrowski?

  Because we're both Phantom people.

• 1:09:15Speaker 03

  Is she an emo person, Natalie?

• 1:09:17Henry Zebrowski?

  No!

• 1:09:18Speaker 03

  Is she not like emo?

• 1:09:18Henry Zebrowski?

  No, we do just to annoy her.

• 1:09:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:21Henry Zebrowski?

  Cause we're Phantom people.

• 1:09:23Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:09:24Speaker 02

  That was, uh, that was falling into you, uh, from Pennsylvania. He sent it in. Do you guys want a different one? I got a different one.

• 1:09:29Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 1:09:31Speaker 02

  Okay, we'll save it for next time.

• 1:09:32Speaker 03

  He did great work!

• 1:09:33Henry Zebrowski?

  He did great work. He nailed the genre.

• 1:09:36Speaker 03

  That's exactly how-

• 1:09:37Henry Zebrowski?

  I hate the genre.

• 1:09:38Speaker 03

  That's exactly how that should sound.

• 1:09:40Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, no, no, no, no. They nailed it. I don't want, I don't want it to be thought that I said it sucked. I just hate it.

• 1:09:46Speaker 03

  You know what we need? You know what we need in response to that one?

• 1:09:52Speaker 03

  I want a collective soul slash Alice in Chains version.

• 1:09:57Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, yes!

• 1:09:59Speaker 03

  That's what I want. Butt rock.

• 1:10:00Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:01Speaker 03

  I want a butt rock version. I read that. I saw some clip on the Instagram. Some podcast was talking about the idea of their favorite butt rock guys.

• 1:10:08Henry Zebrowski?

  Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Listener mail.

• 1:10:11Speaker 03

  You know what butt rock is?

• 1:10:12Henry Zebrowski?

  Butt rock?

• 1:10:13Speaker 03

  Butt rock is stuff like, um, uh, uh, Creed is good butt rock. Uh, things that sound like, things that sound like that, like was like- On them little sinners, world is so too fine.

• 1:10:27Speaker 02

  Puddle of mud.

• 1:10:28Speaker 03

  Way again. That was Filter though. I think Filter is like-

• 1:10:32Henry Zebrowski?

  Puddle, puddle-

• 1:10:33Speaker 03

  Burn where for me to hold, far and away. Puddle of mud. They were formed by Stained, right?

• 1:10:42Henry Zebrowski?

  No, that's what they left when they stopped touring.

• 1:10:43Speaker 03

  I know. Wow.

• 1:10:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes, I beat him on that one. I beat him on that one.

• 1:10:49Speaker 03

  I don't think you did.

• 1:10:50Henry Zebrowski?

  Burn where for me to hold.

• 1:10:54Speaker 03

  You know Cock Rock? Black Keys? That kinda stuff? That's Cock Rock.

• 1:10:58Speaker 02

  That's better. You know, they, they call it post-grunge butt rock.

• 1:11:01Henry Zebrowski?

  It's post-grunge.

• 1:11:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:11:03Henry Zebrowski?

  Alright, here we go. So it's this one.

• 1:11:04Speaker 03

  Guys who worked in the fucking balls of Dew Harrowood.

• 1:11:09Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, we don't say, we're not gonna get any of the return shows because of heroin.

• 1:11:11Speaker 03

  Oh my god. Henry and I were lamenting the other day how much we would immediately go to like a stadium tour that was Nirvana and Soundgarden.

• 1:11:18Henry Zebrowski?

  I would be unbearable!

• 1:11:21Speaker 03

  Trying to get tickets to that.

• 1:11:23Henry Zebrowski?

  You got me there, dude. I would get so fucking drunk and I would be such a fucking problem at that show, man! That Nirvana, Soundgarden show, that's so, I'm so mad I can't have that. I would just be like, yeah! You know, like that style of just, fuck yeah!

• 1:11:43Speaker 03

  Somehow Axl Rose lived.

• 1:11:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah. Cause he cut his hair.

• 1:11:48Speaker 03

  Oh, that's what happened. I'm going to see them. I don't care.

• 1:11:50Henry Zebrowski?

  They're great. In my early mid twenties, my then boyfriend and I moved into an older apartment just outside of Baston.

• 1:11:59Henry Zebrowski?

  The building was from the eighteen hundreds and it was not kept up super well, so it was pretty cheap, even for the time. We paid twelve hundred bucks a month for this two-bedroom apartment with a dining room, a sun porch, plus two additional rooms in the attic that could use, we could use for storage. The attic rooms were creepy at best.

• 1:12:17Speaker 03

  My house that I grew up in had a daughter porch.

• 1:12:23Henry Zebrowski?

  Cause they could free bleed out there.

• 1:12:26Henry Zebrowski?

  That's what I said. You don't want them bleeding out of the house.

• 1:12:27Speaker 03

  Get outside!

• 1:12:28Henry Zebrowski?

  Get outside!

• 1:12:29Speaker 03

  Get outside, you bleeding!

• 1:12:30Henry Zebrowski?

  What's this? What's this red puddle?

• 1:12:32Speaker 03

  You bleeding out.

• 1:12:33Henry Zebrowski?

  Bleeding outside!

• 1:12:34Speaker 03

  Get outside, you bleeding woman!

• 1:12:35Henry Zebrowski?

  So the dogs can have it.

• 1:12:36Speaker 03

  Come on now, let the dog lip at it.

• 1:12:41Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, the attic rooms are creepy at best. And the walls in the apartment were made of horsehair plaster and crumbling a bit in some places. And it wasn't a slum apartment, but just crappy enough that I felt a little embarrassed to have people over. To give you an idea of the level of upkeep, I once cut my foot on a broken linoleum tile in the kitchen and the landlord's son came to fix it. And instead of replacing the full tile, he simply cut a corner of dirty tile from underneath the refrigerator, glued it in place over where the other tile had peeled back. I'm actually surprised you even got somebody over there. When I lived in New York City, I didn't, I've never saw super.

• 1:13:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, and linoleum tiles? That doesn't make sense. Linoleum's just like a piece of shit. Like, I think linoleum's just like-

• 1:13:25Henry Zebrowski?

  No, linoleum tile. Yeah, it's tile. You can make a tile of linoleum.

• 1:13:29Speaker 03

  Is it called a tile? No, it's just like a strip.

• 1:13:33Henry Zebrowski?

  I fucking couldn't, I couldn't possibly care less. I don't, I don't know.

• 1:13:39Speaker 03

  I guess I'm getting hung up on the wrong thing.

• 1:13:41Henry Zebrowski?

  You are. We're looking at tiles right now. We're looking at linoleum tiles right there.

• 1:13:45Speaker 03

  But it's rolled up. You can't roll up a tile.

• 1:13:47Henry Zebrowski?

  I have no, this PD don't know, Eddie. They don't know. The writer doesn't know. We don't know.

• 1:13:52Speaker 03

• 1:13:54Henry Zebrowski?

  A few months after we moved into the apartment, I started to notice that the bathroom light was always left on. The bathroom is right off the kitchen and within ear, and within eyeshot of the living room, where we spent most of our time. Obviously, I blame my boyfriend for this. I'll playfully give him, give him shit about it. And he would deny all culpability until one night, we decided to deliberately turn off the light. And we were told ourselves, if this light is turned back on, we know there's a ghost in the house.

• 1:14:21Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:14:22Henry Zebrowski?

  We're watching a movie on the couch. And about an hour or two later, I noticed the bathroom light was on. I immediately called my boyfriend out for this, but we both pretty quickly realized that neither one of us had moved from the couch since we had turned off the light. Neither of us really believed that there was anything paranormal going on, but we started playfully refer to the ghost anytime anything weird happened. Other little things started happening. My boyfriend would always leave his cell phone on the nightstand overnight. Like I said, the apartment was old and the floors were very slanted in some areas. His phone started slipping forward off the nightstand and would wake us up occasionally with a thud in the middle of the night. To prevent this, he started putting his water bottle in front of the phone, so that it couldn't slide forward off the nightstand.

• 1:15:07Henry Zebrowski?

  First night he did this, the phone started sliding sideways off the nightstand instead.

• 1:15:12Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 1:15:12Henry Zebrowski?

  Could the floors be slanted in both directions? For sure. We brushed it off.

• 1:15:17Henry Zebrowski?

  Once in the middle of the night, my boyfriend woke me up when he was coming back into the bedroom after getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. You had to walk a long way. By the time you go back to the bedroom, right, I've been one of these where it's like you gotta walk across the house to go to the bathroom and come back.

• 1:15:29Speaker 03

  It's annoying.

• 1:15:30Henry Zebrowski?

  So by the time you're already, by the time you come back, you're like awake. He asked me why I had called for him. I told him I hadn't. I was dead asleep and I definitely wasn't yelling down the hallway. He told me that he heard me say his name, clear as day, when he was walking through the living room.

• 1:15:45Speaker 03

  Josh!

• 1:15:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Josh!

• 1:15:48Henry Zebrowski?

  We didn't really discuss it. I think it's both of us just kinda chalked it up to him hearing things. Till a couple of months later, when I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. So I was walking through the living room. I heard my boyfriend's voice say my nickname, Mo, in a very clear and loud voice. It sounded like he was right next to me, so I jumped and I called back immediately. When I didn't hear anything, I went to the bathroom and then crawled back into bed. He was fast asleep, deep breathing. He was an extremely light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest sounds. When I asked him whether or not he had said my name, he was confused and he said he definitely hadn't. I was spooked after that. The only real thing that I experienced during this time period was vicious nightmares.

• 1:16:32Henry Zebrowski?

  Almost every night, I would wake up in a cold sweat after dying in my dreams. I would die in different ways nearly every time, but it was always be doing to getting injured in the same spot in my mid-low back along my spine.

• 1:16:45Speaker 03

  You're not sleeping right.

• 1:16:46Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah. I gotta get a new-

• 1:16:48Speaker 03

  Put that pillow between your legs.

• 1:16:49Henry Zebrowski?

  That's what I do. Some dreams I would get shot in the back and die and others I would be stabbed. I remember a couple of dreams where my back was shredded by birds clawing at me. Others involved a laser to the back. You get the idea.

• 1:17:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:17:02Henry Zebrowski?

  When I woke up, I could almost physically feel the pain as the dream wore off. I'm normally prone to vivid dreams and nightmares, but these had a totally different flavor from anything else I've experienced before or after. Coincidentally, the backbreaking dreams ended when I moved into a new apartment. In my opinion, there are two possibilities. One, we were living with the ghost of somebody who had been stabbed in the back in that apartment. Two, the apartment was just old and drafty and the floors were so slanted that my back spasmed in bed every night and seeped into my dreamscape.

• 1:17:31Speaker 03

  Possible.

• 1:17:32Henry Zebrowski?

  Possible. Very possible. I've had the thing. I've experienced my name being called by Natalie.

• 1:17:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:17:40Henry Zebrowski?

  And her, she not be there. I've experienced that a couple of times. I've experienced hearing the door open and close and coming back and Natalie's not there and go like, Natalie, she's not there.

• 1:17:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:17:51Henry Zebrowski?

  I do feel like there is a sense of familiarity between partners that is a little bit of it. And then I wonder whether or not. But I've had a couple of those.

• 1:18:00Speaker 03

  Sometimes.

• 1:18:01Henry Zebrowski?

  And I don't tell Natalie because she freaks her out.

• 1:18:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, also, I always feel like if I think there's a ghost around me, I won't talk about it because I don't want to give the ghost satisfaction. I don't want to give you satisfaction. I don't want you to know that. Do you think when you talk about them, like, it makes you more powerful? Yeah.

• 1:18:19Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess.

• 1:18:21Speaker 03

  You acknowledge about it. You acknowledge it, you know, and just let it live in my soup of nightmares. That is my head.

• 1:18:26Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, absolutely.

• 1:18:27Speaker 03

  Her nickname's Mo. What's her real name? Melissa? Come on.

• 1:18:29Henry Zebrowski?

  Hey, whatever. No, it's just, it's actually a lot of times Mo is short for Maureen.

• 1:18:33Speaker 03

  Oh, Maureen.

• 1:18:35Henry Zebrowski?

  Do you know that?

• 1:18:35Speaker 03

  Oh, not Melissa or Marissa. Moesha.

• 1:18:41Henry Zebrowski?

  It could be for Moesha.

• 1:18:42Speaker 03

  It's probably Moesha.

• 1:18:44Henry Zebrowski?

  Oh, well, hopefully, we'll find out. I try to keep it anonymous.

• 1:18:49Henry Zebrowski?

  But we'll find out, Moesha. We will find out. Well, you gotta live every day, knowing for a fact that sometimes a ghost is gonna be near your house knocking your cellphone off. You're gonna love the fact that he's knocking your cellphone off the fucking counter because honestly, don't plug your phone in in your bedroom, okay? Because then you will laugh at how much your sleep will increase without the pressure of the world staring at you while you sleep from your phone.

• 1:19:14Speaker 03

  You can put it across the room.

• 1:19:16Henry Zebrowski?

  I always, I leave it downstairs.

• 1:19:18Speaker 03

  Downstairs?

• 1:19:19Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:19Speaker 03

  Wow, that's far.

• 1:19:21Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, if I'm asleep, you might as well. If someone dies in the night, I'll find out in the morning.

• 1:19:25Speaker 03

  Honestly, if they're dead, who cares?

• 1:19:26Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, you know, there's nothing I can't do right now.

• 1:19:29Speaker 03

  A full night of sleep will make me a better person responding to that.

• 1:19:32Henry Zebrowski?

  I just don't, do people still do that? Side stories, [email protected]. I don't, I have not had my phone on ring in a decade.

• 1:19:40Speaker 03

  Oh, oh, no, no, no. Occasionally, if I know I'm waiting for something and I'm like doing shit and it's plugged in, I'll put it on ring. But that's only time.

• 1:19:47Henry Zebrowski?

  Yeah, I don't listen to it.

• 1:19:48Speaker 03

  I specifically put it on there.

• 1:19:50Henry Zebrowski?

  Yes.

• 1:19:50Speaker 03

  But, you know, that's how we're doing it. Listen, folks, this weekend, Sunday, Dead Men Tell Some Tales. That's this weekend. It's gonna be so much fucking fun. I can't wait for this show.

  No, I don't think I'll do it again, probably. Yeah, I don't know. It's, it's a lot of work.

• 1:20:51Henry Zebrowski?
