1. Unraveling the Mystery of Gene Hackman's Death

Timestamp: [00:46] – [11:58]

The episode opens with a heated discussion led by Unknown Speaker 1, who presents a controversial theory regarding the death of the renowned actor Gene Hackman. The speaker suggests that Hackman's demise may have been orchestrated by his children, a claim that has garnered significant attention from the audience.

Key Points:

• Allegations Against Hackman's Children: The speaker posits that Hackman's children, described as much younger males with substantial control over his estate, might have had motives related to inheritance. "[...] Any man with a wife 30 years younger and a kid that's younger than..." ([02:30]), the speaker notes, indicating possible financial motivations.

• Hantavirus Connection: To support the theory, the speaker introduces the idea of deliberate infection with hantavirus, a serious disease transmitted by rodent urine and feces. "[...] It's hard to catch Hantavirus. It comes from mouse urine and feces and commonly transmitted through the air," ([02:32]), the speaker explains, suggesting that the controlled release of the virus could incapacitate or eliminate Hackman's immediate family.

• Skepticism and Community Reaction: The theory has sparked controversy, with listeners reaching out with both support and skepticism. The speaker acknowledges the backlash, stating, "I'm getting a lot of emails from People who are acting like I may be in on the Gene Hackman thing because of my call out early that the kids had something to do." ([02:30])

• Estate and Will Complications: Further complicating the theory, the speaker mentions that despite accusations, much of Hackman's estate would still favor charitable organizations unless legally contested, adding layers to the potential motives and outcomes.

Notable Quotes:

• Unknown Speaker 1: "The kids will be involved in the death." ([02:30])

• Unknown Speaker 1: "If I was written out of the will, shouldn't wash your hands once." ([02:32])

• Unknown Speaker 1: "Hantavirus is not easy to catch. You have to have quite a lot of rat feces around." ([03:36])

Discussion Highlights:

The conversation delves into the feasibility of such a theory, examining the practicality of using hantavirus as a means to an end. The speakers scrutinize the living conditions of Hackman, emphasizing that maintaining a sanitary environment would make intentional contamination challenging. Additionally, the sudden reappearance of Hackman in the public eye after periods of personal turmoil adds fuel to the speculative fire.

2. "S*Heel of the Year" Nominees and Animal Cruelty Case

Timestamp: [06:03] – [11:58]

Transitioning from the intense discussion on Gene Hackman's death, the podcast shifts focus to introduce the nominees for the "S*Heel of the Year" award, a satirical segment aimed at highlighting reprehensible behaviors within the community. The hosts spotlight a recent animal cruelty incident in Surprise, Arizona, where individuals were arrested for abandoning a dog.

Key Points:

• Incident Overview: The segment details a distressing video where two individuals, Priscilla Gallanos (26) and Logan Gamble (20), were caught on camera pushing a small terrier dog out of their vehicle. The dog was left to fend for itself after the car sped away. "The dog's let out and see how it kind of runs after the car." ([07:37])

• Legal Actions: Both individuals have been charged with misdemeanor offenses—Priscilla with animal cruelty and Logan with conspiracy to commit animal cruelty. The swift legal response underscores the community's stance against such acts.

• Community Impact and Reactions: The hosts express strong condemnation, advocating for harsher penalties to deter future cruelty. Unknown Speaker 1 emphatically states, "Burn them. Great work. Yeah, burn him. Burn them to the ground." ([08:34]), emphasizing the emotional toll and the need for justice.

• Protection and Recovery of the Dog: Despite the cruelty inflicted, the dog was rescued and placed under the care of animal control, with hopes of adoption into a better home. "Know what's good though is the dog's all right and was taken care of by good people and hopefully moves." ([10:27])

Notable Quotes:

• Unknown Speaker 3: "But arrests are made following this video." ([07:37])

• Unknown Speaker 1: "Absolutely. Burn them. Great work. Yeah, burn him." ([08:34])

• Unknown Speaker 1: "Priscilla Gallanos. Logan Gamble. You've made our list." ([09:35])

Discussion Highlights:

The segment serves both as a section of condemnation and a call to action, urging listeners to recognize and respond to animal cruelty. The hosts discuss possible legislative measures, such as increasing fines and imposing stricter restrictions on animal ownership for offenders. The community's role in monitoring and reporting such incidents is also emphasized, showcasing the podcast's commitment to social responsibility.

By exploring speculative theories surrounding a public figure's death and addressing immediate concerns of animal welfare, the show underscores its dedication to engaging and provoking thoughtful conversations among its Arizona listeners.

[Troy Hayden]

You're listening to the HMS podcast brought to you by mmpguns.com your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself.

[Troy Hayden]

He's evil sitting right here.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. Seether right there. And Cedar always reminds me a little of Puddle of Mud and I have no idea why. There's really no connection. But Puddle of Mud, we're back on West Scantlin Watch. I don't know if you guys saw that this weekend he was, he was arrested again or being weird again. He got, he had good for a while there. He was on a, you know, we were all waiting for west to he was going to die. We were, we were all pretty sure that Wes wasn't going to be around much longer. But he got, you know, he got better, surprisingly lived for a while and then got back in the news again by being arrested this time. I had a domestic violence thing going on and he's back on drugs. He got a physical altercation with his girlfriend in Torrance, California. And they said the officers arrived and talked to Wes and his girlfriend, determined they got into a verbal argument at one point became physical because of Wes. The lady had visible face wounds under her arms as well. Not face wounds on her arms. That doesn't make sense. But you know what I mean. During a search of the person, the cops found a small amount of a controlled substance on Mr. Scantlon that has been announced.

[Troy Hayden]

Shocking.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

But, you know, he went through that phase where you're like, oh, he's not gonna make it. He looks healthy. Like he looks okay, but he's back on that list. We've been surprised for 15 years that west is still around, but it's back. I'm getting a lot of emails from People who are acting like I may be in on the Gene Hackman thing because of my call out early that the kids had something to do. The kids will be involved. Any man with a wife 30 years younger and a kid that's younger than.

[Unknown Speaker 2]

His new wife and 30 to 60.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Mil on the line, kids are involved in the death. This guy says, here's the thing I don't get, and this is a great comment, and this is a fantastically salacious, sad story. So knowing that these people were multimillionaires, do you really think they'd ever let deer mice inhabit their home? It's hard to catch Hantavirus. It comes from mouse urine and feces and commonly transmitted through the air. The interesting thing is it can be transmitted by touch. If you touch a contaminated surface and then your eyes or something, you can catch it. Yeah. 40 to 80 million dollars is what's on the line. It may be worth the risk to raise some deer mites with hantavirus and have them wander around the house, let him get in contact with various materials like blankets and stuff like that. I, you know, take a chance giving it to her for that kind of cake. If I was written out of the will, shouldn't wash your hands once. Next thing you know, stepmom's gone, we're all good. I read more and more about hantavirus.

[Unknown Speaker 3]

It is hail it.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Well, it's really hard to get the mice. It's hard for them to get it. It's a specific type of rodent, and you have to. Maybe you have them up there a lot, but remember, it was a Native American problem for a while. Like, the Navajo community had a huge, especially in New Mexico, a huge problem with the hantavirus that was going around like crazy. And then it seems like they kind of quelled it. Like, yeah, it's pretty hard to catch us if you just kind of keep up with it. They had a pretty nice place and, you know, not to add more, but it's more fun to do it my way. The lady was 60 something, super healthy, and taken care of, a very compromised man. You'd think she'd be all over cleaning the house, right?

[Troy Hayden]

Or they got enough cash pay somebody to do.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Well, there was the crazy part was one of the things was, where's Florence?

[Troy Hayden]

The maid should have been there.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

The maids were there, you know, the mate. Not while they were dead, obviously, But, I mean, the maids, they had made.

[Unknown Speaker 2]

Enough compound where they wouldn't run into.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Them at what, the maids?

[Unknown Speaker 2]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

No, no, they had. They didn't live on premises, and it wasn't that big of a place where you, you know, somebody else was there. You wouldn't know they were there because they had a.

[Unknown Speaker 2]

Didn't they have another gardener or something, a character?

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Well, the gardeners were outside. They don't go in, so, I mean, there's plenty of times. Look, I could be dead for 10 weeks and I don't think Al would notice until he didn't get paid. Yeah, Al doesn't poke his head in the windows. If he does, good luck looking at that. You're just going to see a weird bald guy, maybe with a mask on, beaten off. Don't peek in my house, Al. Hey, John, Bill. Do like. Okay, hang on a second. Let me take off the VR. But, yeah. So there's more to this still. I'm not satisfied with the. Oh, hantavirus. Got her. And she had a very big respiratory issue and all that. Didn't go to the doctor. Thought it would pass. She's going out to, you know, she was at the grocery store a few days before the last time people saw her masked up coughing like there's a good chance somebody like this guy's right. Like, why not release the deer hound or the deer mice into the house with the. You get a couple hantaviruses in there.

[Unknown Speaker 2]

Merry Christmas.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

You know, Dad's on his last leg, so it's like you're doing him a favor if the more things.

[Unknown Speaker 2]

But the thing is on that. Yeah, yeah, I see that. But the timing of that, to have her, you know, go before him.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Well, that's what I'm saying. You give her the hauntavirus, but I don't know when he's not going to make it, especially if she's dead or sick. And then he goes. It's natural that she's, you know, you try to make it so she can't speed track it. It would have been better had everybody in the house gotten it, because then it looked like they had a problem with filth and stuff, but nobody said, oh, their house was gross and filthy. Hantavirus is not easy to catch. You have to have quite a lot of rat feces around. So I'm still not done with this one. I'm still not done blaming those Hackman kids. I still think there's something going on here, especially when you start reading about how they, you know, they were written out of the will and weren't getting anything. Even if she dies, some of the stuff, most of the stuff's going to go directly to A charity. And they're gonna have to fight. An awful lot going on there. Also, we mentioned earlier that we haven't had any nominees for s heel of the year. The Frank Caliendo, Nathan Sutherland s heel of the year. They walk amongst us. But we do actually have one shame. I just want to get their names out because they deserve to shame. These people were caught on video pushing a dog out of their vehicle in a street in Arizona here. Where was it? Surprise in surprise. And the footage is heartbreaking. It's a little tiny like terrier dog. And they shared on Facebook the people who filmed it, like they gotta stop this. They got the license plate of the car and everything else. A car slows down, the back door opens and a dog is let out of the car. And a voice in the car says bye bye. There's the video.

[Troy Hayden]

You don't hear the bye bye too much because Troy Hayden's talking.

[Unknown Speaker 3]

But arrests are made following this video. You may have seen it and it's really hard to comprehend. That car you see right there takes that little puppy and throws it out of the car and then drives away. You can even hear the driver saying bye bye. And the puppy even follows it afterwards. Well, surprise police, they've arrested the people caught on camera in this red car abandoning that dog. This video was taken Saturday and again the dog's let out and see how it kind of runs after the car. The dog was later taken into the care of animal control. So police were able to identify the people inside the suv. And it's because this home had such a good video camera that they got the license plate, I would imagine. So they say 26 year old Priscilla Galanos, the dog's owner, is now facing a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty. And 20 year old Logan Gamble is facing a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit animal cruelty. So we're following the story. But again, two arrests made after this video.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Absolutely. Burn them. Great work. Yeah, burn him. Burn them to the ground. Nothing good comes from these people ever again. There's no way you bring them back to society. They can't apologize all they want. Shame. What's the name? What were their names? Again, not on the story here. Are they?

[Troy Hayden]

Yeah, it should be on Logan.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Well, one was Logan. Yeah. They need their. They need our shame. And I can't find it on the story. I heard Troy say it. Oh, it makes me. It makes me crazy. Shame. Damn it. I'll find it. Find their names immediately. But yeah, these people, they're definitely nominees For s heels of the year and first things first. Never ever allowed to own a pet again. And we need to increase cruelty laws like that. That's just ridiculous. You're adding to the problem. You should have to pay the Humane Society or the pound or someone else like, like they did that thing at the barbecue. 10 times what it's going to cost them to care for that animal. If it's $150 a day, your fine is a thousand and eleven hundred bucks a day that they have to care for that animal. 11. Every day that passes you have to pay 10 times what it is. And the both of you should.

[Troy Hayden]

26 year old Priscilla gynos guy gallows close to close. Yeah. And gamble Logan or Logan Gamble.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

There you go. You're both seal of the year award nominees, Shame. And I don't know, it's going to be tough to talk you get. I mean especially on this show. Exactly. Yeah. I'm the man of the year of all time with pet charities, for crying out loud. I have a. I have an award I was just recently given to hate people like you. That's why they gave it to me, Shame, because I hate out loud people like you. What were their names again? Maria Gallanos. Logan Gamble.

[Troy Hayden]

Logan Gamble. And Priscilla. Guyana.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Priscilla Gallanos. Priscilla Gallanos. Logan Gamble. You've made our list. Never allowed to own a pet again. I don't care that you're 20. This isn't a mistake. This was an intentional thing. Nope.

[Troy Hayden]

Misdemeanor. Misdemeanor charges.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Misdemeanor charges. Felony. Know what's good though is the dog's all right and was taken care of by good people and hopefully moves.

[Troy Hayden]

I think it got adopted.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

I'm sure of it. Yeah, a better. A better family. So there you go. We do have nominees finally for the 2025 Frank Calendo, Nathan Sutherland Heel of the year award. They walk amongst us, these two from Surprise. Priscilla, Priscilla and Logan.

[Troy Hayden]

Yeah, it's going to be a tough one to beat.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Wow.

[Troy Hayden]

And I hope nobody does.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Me too.

[Troy Hayden]

I don't want to shame them for.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

The rest of the year and forever and ever. They'll be known as the, you know, Nathan Sutherland and Paul Manchaka and Pearl in paradise and know all their names. That weird dude that was humping that dead old lady. He was last year's.

[Troy Hayden]

Did he win or was he honorable mention?

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Look, last year we had one. We had a lot, so. And then this year we've got two because we've got the kid from the Phoenix open and then these people. But he did damage to himself. His first name again, like Brendini. It's the stupidest name ever. Yeah. What is his name? Bretbert Frankberg or something? Brentford or something like that. That's his first name is what I call. Anyway, so there you go. We got a what would Brady do? Coming up in just moments. If you know those people, by all means shame them. Throw tomatoes at their home. Today it's 98. Hey, it's not weird.

[Unknown Speaker 2]

It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

I have heard enough of this.
