Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Casey Anthony’s Post-Trial Life and Public Image

• Casey as Public Figure: The hosts marvel at her paradoxical claims of hating being on camera (10:43, 43:41), quoting Marcus:

  "She takes every opportunity to be on camera."—Marcus ([10:54])

• Media & Entertainment Aspirations: Casey reportedly tried to make movies about herself, including a racy film "As I Was Told," and has shopped around a reality show called "Casey Moving Forward" (07:47, 45:39).
• Lifestyle Updates: Recent reports allege she’s moving to Tennessee after breaking up a family, continuing a drama-filled personal narrative (42:02).
• Infamy as a Brand:

  "She's now made it a brand … she’s making this, like, will they, won’t they about her own daughter’s death."—Ed ([44:25])

2. Recapping the Original Case

• Case Summary:
  • Casey didn’t report her daughter, Caylee, missing for 31 days.
  • Created the fictitious "Zanny the Nanny."
  • Was acquitted of murder but found guilty on lesser charges (for check fraud).
• Details Lost in Trial:
  • Police failed to check her Firefox browser history, missing critical search evidence (04:41, 32:43).
  • Possible causes of death debated—drowning, Xanax overdose, or suffocation (31:53, 32:03).
  • The hosts believe she was acquitted on a technicality due to investigative mistakes.

3. Media Portrayal & Documentaries

• "Where the Truth Lies" (Peacock Series):
  • The series gives Casey’s shifting perspective; the hosts mock its changing narratives and shallow attempts at redemption (18:20, 28:11).

  • "How often is this fucking story going to change?" —Ed ([18:47])

• Parental Response:
  • Casey’s parents answered in kind with an A&E special, including lie detector tests to refute her abuse claims. Marcus reports both passed—FBI administered, though polygraphs aren’t infallible (30:20, 35:13).

  • "Watching two people in just such intense pain and grief..." —Marcus ([30:25])

4. Lawsuits and Legal Fallout

• Defamation Lawsuits:
  • Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez: Smeared as “Zanny the Nanny,” she sued but lost; her life was destroyed by association (13:33, 15:24).
  • Texas EquuSearch: Sued Anthony for resources spent searching (17:39).
  • Roy Cronk: Utility worker who discovered Caylee’s body; sued for defamation and endured being falsely accused.
• Probation & Video Diaries: Leaked diary moments—Casey acts upbeat, never mentioning Caylee ([11:25], [11:32]).

5. Shifting Allegations & Family Fallout

• Abuse Claims: Casey’s later shifting claims blame her father for molestation and Caylee’s death (19:10+).

  "Would this not have been up front and center of this story?"—Ed ([20:22])

• Parental Estrangement: Final break with her mother occurred over access to Caylee’s ashes, ending with a savage message:

  "[Cindy sent] photos of the garbage bag Kaylee's body was found in with the message, 'you put her there.'"—Marcus ([38:46])

• Legal Dead Ends: No path for future prosecution—double jeopardy in effect ([37:09]).

6. Morbid Celebrity and Public Disgust

• Casey’s Enduring Appeal:

  • Attempted bar brawls, local notoriety, continues to court attention (33:34+).
  • Jokes about potential OnlyFans, adult films, or reality stardom; hosts scorn her attempts to profit from tragedy ([40:58], [45:39]).

  • "Would she have an OnlyFans in 2022?"—Marcus ([41:17])

• Society’s Role & Media Ethics:

  • The hosts critique current media’s appetite for "clapback" documentaries and perpetual victimhood branding.

  • "She has made professional victim her entire thing."—Marcus ([45:19])

7. Broader Reflections on Justice and Media

• Comparisons to Other Cases: They compare the Menendez brothers, O.J., and Elizabeth Fritzl, debating when abuse mitigates or explains murder ([25:33], [27:02]).
• Cynicism Over System: Frequent reminders that, from a legal standpoint, society declared her “innocent” but the hosts remain unconvinced ([39:42], [40:11]).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Investigative Failures:

  "Her Firefox. History ... How long does it take to die from asphyxiation? ... Very damning evidence that was not introduced at trial." —Marcus ([32:43])

Tone & Style

The episode strikes a balance between true crime seriousness and dark comedic banter, typical of the "Last Podcast on the Left" approach. The hosts interlace empathy for the victims with biting satire directed at Anthony, the legal system, and pop culture’s appetite for infamy. Celebrity references, sarcastic speculation, and analogies to other crime cases punctuate their commentary.

---

Conclusion

"Casey Anthony Revisited" offers a bracing, unapologetically opinionated take on both the enduring infamy of Casey Anthony and on America’s macabre pop-culture machine. The hosts contextualize her story within broader questions of crime, punishment, and public fascination, leaving listeners with the uncomfortable reality: Casey Anthony’s story is a cautionary tale not just about justice gone awry, but also about a culture that cannot look away—and in many ways, encourages the very spectacle it claims to abhor.

Transcript

[Marcus Parks]

That's when the cannibalism started.

[Ed Larson]

Last update on the left. Bubbles.

[Julie]

Tiny bubbles. Remember I tried that.

[Ed Larson]

You know, she's still not a mom, but you don't need to be a mommy to enjoy South Florida the way Casey Anthony does.

[Marcus Parks]

Actually, I think it's better if you're not a mommy if you want to enjoy South Florida. And you're also. You're kind of talking out of turn there a little bit. She's a dog mommy.

[Ed Larson]

Hey, hey. I forget. I forget. Yeah, she's definitely a girl mom.

[Julie]

Isn't she moving to Tennessee?

[Ed Larson]

Well, that's a long story. We don't know if she is yet because it seems that maybe the pressure. The Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift style. Will they, Won't they with Casey Anthony and the random fuck she met that one time is really. It's too much for him.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Welcome to the last update on the left, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Marcus Parks.

[Ed Larson]

You don't fucking know. I went there, okay? I had to get my tits reseparated. That was the worst. They were too close together. They look like googly eyes. I looked up, I took off my top. Everyone's like, oh, hang on. Something Mickey Mouse. I was like, no, it's Casey Anthony. You

[Marcus Parks]

and Florida's own Ed Larson.

[Julie]

Ah, yes, you.

[Ed Larson]

I really feel like, in a way, you like, I'm. I'm happy you met Julie. The two of us are both like, you know, because Eddie and I talked about this. We both realized that both of our wives are strong. Midwestern stock.

[Marcus Parks]

Sure.

[Ed Larson]

Right. We got, you know, like Pittsburgh is rust belt.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Slow, vaguely Midwest cousin. Cousin.

[Julie]

Ohio.

[Ed Larson]

Strong women.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Powerful women. Kind of almost. I'm afraid of them.

[Julie]

Of course.

[Ed Larson]

I'm afraid of both of them.

[Julie]

I will. I will be a good man to Julie because I know that she could break my notes.

[Ed Larson]

The whole point is fear allows love to exist safely. But Eddie and I, we really could have ended up with one of these.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

A Casey ain't.

[Julie]

I've not ended up done some time. I think I could ruined a year

[Ed Larson]

of my life with all of the body cam footage I want. Because that's what you said about how moms don't have as much fun on Fort Lauderdale. But I don't think that's true because you know how many times they just let that kid just rock in the car.

[Julie]

Oh, man.

[Ed Larson]

You know, that kid just. Kid's having a great time. He's got the little slit open. He can hear the stuff inside the parking lot. He's Listening.

[Julie]

Kids can go anywhere. I grew up in tracks and casinos.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah?

[Julie]

You just. Florida, you know. They let you at the bar?

[Ed Larson]

My mom used to.

[Julie]

There's toys at the bar.

[Ed Larson]

I used to sit in the van and wait for my mom to get out of Joann Fabrics. Oh, sitting there, man.

[Julie]

Really?

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah.

[Julie]

That's kind of nice, though.

[Ed Larson]

I asked to be in there.

[Julie]

Yeah, no, no, because it's better than being in the fabric store.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, because I could honk the horn a bunch and get her in trouble.

[Julie]

Did she leave it in neutral by a pond?

[Ed Larson]

No, unfortunately, no.

[Marcus Parks]

She didn't know what happened. He just. He was here and then he's just in the water.

[Ed Larson]

I didn't. I don't know. Apparently they said that Quarter pounders naturally floated in the lake and that's what it first attracted him to the waters.

[Julie]

I. I had used to work with a bartender, the village poorhouse, who criminally looked like Casey Anthony, would regularly get asked by patrons if she was her. Oh, my God.

[Marcus Parks]

That's the worst thing to get at. Are you Casey Anthony?

[Ed Larson]

Did you move to New York? Anyway.

[Julie]

Anyway, I'll take two Budweisers.

[Ed Larson]

Hey, wait a second. Are you Jared Fogle? That's amazing. Wow. I'm a huge fan. I never thought I'd get this opportunity.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, of course, today's subject of the update show is Casey Anthony. And, man, out of all the people we've covered over the. There's nobody I think has been a busier beaver than Casey Anthony since her acquittal.

[Ed Larson]

You know? You know, honestly, since the guy who shot Reagan. Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

John Hinckley.

[Ed Larson]

John Hinckley's really throwing it in there, Marcus.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, I mean, he had a long cooling off period.

[Ed Larson]

He did.

[Marcus Parks]

And I wouldn't. I wouldn't consider uploading a bunch of songs to YouTube like busy beavering.

[Julie]

Yeah. God, imagine a Casey Anthony ukulele concert.

[Ed Larson]

It'd be short.

[Marcus Parks]

Think if this was 2012.

[Ed Larson]

Let's get lemon drops sick of this.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, I can't quite remember where we left off when we talked about Casey Anthony in our series. Like, I'm pretty sure we ended it with, like, you know, the theory of the whole xany, the nanny Firefox theory, You know, that she had actually googled stuff on Firefox that the cops never actually looked at Firefox history. They just looked at her Internet Explorer

[Ed Larson]

history, and it had completely do with technological idioc, which is the reason why they fucked up and why she got off of. Got off. But I think great promo For Firefox?

[Julie]

Yes. Yeah. If I saw like I was on like a Google Meet today with someone and my. They were using Firefox, I'm like, should I trust this person?

[Ed Larson]

Used to be the good one. Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

I used Firefox for years.

[Julie]

Oh, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

But I think the thing that we kind of ended with was Jose was Jose Baez's book. Yeah. And we were talking about how it seemed at the time and recently I believe it was right after it's. We found out that Casey Anthony was stupid.

[Marcus Parks]

Jose.

[Ed Larson]

We just don't know whether or not they were doing it while they were in court or not. They. We. He obviously said never. It was after that it was off. It was the passion and the joy of him getting her off of obviously acquitted for murder makes if I'm nothing makes a lady wetter than getting her acquitted for murder or children. So she. That was the first time and now we know that. That it seems to be a. A thing now. Why are we covering an update in Casey Anthony? I think it's because there are a lot of people that are very fascinated with her life.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, there was the huge documentary series that came out last year.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Marcus Parks]

That where the Truth Lies.

[Ed Larson]

Where. And originally that was supposed to be like, sexy. One of the original pitches for that docu series was. And I'm not even joking, I believe it was a confessional with her tits out. Well, which is an incredible confessional with your tits outs is one of the best ideas possible, Jose. Fucking Jonah. I'm looking at you, Arius. Yeah, yeah, I'm looking at you.

[Julie]

Confession with her tits out would be a very interesting Netflix series.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, the story behind that was that in 2019, Casey said that she was going to be making a racy and explicit movie called As I Was Told. And that was going to tell her

[Ed Larson]

a sexy reenactment of her getting molested by her father. That's what the idea is. What she said.

[Marcus Parks]

There will be several racy scenes because she was with a few men during this time and they planned to depict how she became pregnant. So they were going to show her fucking a lot of dudes. And this is supposed to be like. This is going to be low budget.

[Ed Larson]

Wait a second. So this was supposed to be the making of Kaylee Anthony?

[Marcus Parks]

Yes, that was. Well, that was going to be the first actual. That was going to be the first act of the movie, I think was her getting pregnant, getting cummed in.

[Julie]

Was she going to play herself? Yeah. Wow.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, she was going to play. And so the dudes Were going to be what?

[Ed Larson]

Tony Hinchcliffe. You got Donald Trump Jr. These are all the actors in the movie.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, a source close to Casey said. And it was probably Casey saying. Casey's really smart. She has to tell her side. But she knows what audiences want to see and not sex.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. That is the two circles in front of your tent.

[Marcus Parks]

She spoke with several production companies before settling on one. They were going to film in North Carolina. It was going to be a low budget. Casey actually said herself that it was going to be a low grade movie, but she was going to have full editorial control.

[Ed Larson]

Wow. And that's exactly what you want from a bartender from Fort Lauderdale is total creative control.

[Julie]

Imagine being in the editing suite with Casey Anthony.

[Ed Larson]

No, my tits look stupid in this front. Oh, my God. Those weren't my breasts at all. Those were my butt. Where. Where is that? Like that all the time. Look.

[Julie]

Oh, no.

[Ed Larson]

I guess I'd sat on some pepperonis at lunchtime. Cut that, scrub that, Fix it, Pat.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, the movie would present the case in a new light and share how she followed the instructions of an unnamed man who told her, quote, live your life as normal. I will take care of your daughter's body.

[Ed Larson]

Her Xanax dealer.

[Marcus Parks]

He said she had no idea what he did with Kaylee and was told to hide Kaylee's death for a month. The movie is titled, as I was told, because she was doing what she was told. Can you guess why the movie never made it to production?

[Ed Larson]

I'm so flabbergasted. I can't even imagine. I've already paid for it. I already bought a ticket this morning for this.

[Marcus Parks]

There's a full reason why Covid.

[Julie]

It ruined her if I did it.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. I can't believe it. It ruined my starting year for the Cleveland Browns. And it was going to be big for me.

[Marcus Parks]

Reports suggested that multiple factors, including the pandemic derail production, the multiple facts, multiple factors, but coronavirus was one of them, stopped any momentum the film had. And it is effectively dead.

[Ed Larson]

It is. It's wild. Like, what got her there? So we know that in 2011 she was acquitted. She was again ordered, I guess serve a year for supervised probation for. She did a check fraud conviction.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. She stole her friend's checkbook and wrote $605 checks, which she obviously she was.

[Ed Larson]

It was as she was told. She said they wouldn't serve. She got some time serve. I guess she did a bunch of different stuff, but it's like. It's just kind of crazy that she got out and she immediately flipped it into a whole, like, inner life for herself. She left. Some people run and hide. Right. Like, Carlo Hamilca went and hid.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Also, like, Myra Handle. Myra Henley's in, I think, who's also, like, totally, like, got out and left. Leonard Lake's wife hid.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Cricket, you know, John. What's his name? The.

[Julie]

From the.

[Ed Larson]

The Toy Box Killer. His W is still kind of out there, really. And it's like. But she kind of decided to live out loud.

[Marcus Parks]

No, she really did. I mean, I think she. That's the thing about her, is that she would say, like, I hate being on camera. I, like, hate it.

[Ed Larson]

But, oh, yeah, that's her whole.

[Marcus Parks]

She takes every opportunity to be on camera.

[Julie]

Apparently, she was gonna star in a movie about herself.

[Ed Larson]

I know, I know.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, the thing is about the probation is that her lawyer argues, like, but come on, time served. Because there was, I think, three years between the murder and the trial. And the judge was, like, writing bad checks is not the same as being acquitted of murdering your daughter.

[Ed Larson]

He's a separate crime.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. You need to do your time. But two months into her probation, a video diary was leaked to the Internet.

[Ed Larson]

Leaked to the Internet?

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. She said that she's excited to be out of prison. She was learning how to use a laptop and see Skype.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. And according to her, it's been a long time since I've had something to call mine, you know? And it's surreal, like, how many things changed since July and how many things haven't changed. Things are starting to look up.

[Marcus Parks]

And she did not mention Kaylee once in the video, but they say that they did not release it whatsoever. Some people think that they tapped into her WI fi signal.

[Julie]

No.

[Marcus Parks]

Got inside her laptop.

[Ed Larson]

She's not a Russian delegate. No one tapped into her WI fi and stole it. She put it out there to test the waters, to see her comeback, which could start, like, literally. I do believe she posted.

[Julie]

Come back to what she was nothing.

[Ed Larson]

She got addicted. Look at Sarah Boone, the. My new case du jour that I love. The suitcase murder. She killed her husband. She killed her boyfriend, whatever, like, essentially by zipping him up in a suitcase. Film the whole thing, you know, saying, like, as she's going, like, sarah, help. Sarah, help. As he's dying of oxygen deprivation inside of a suitcase. And she goes, that's my name. Don't wear it out. And Sarah Boone. This was her response. Sarah Boone. You can tell in her. She just. She just actually was. She's guilty of murder, obviously.

[Marcus Parks]

Very.

[Ed Larson]

She Filmed it. And so. But in her testimony, it's this little smile where she gets this little smile on her face in between talking, where you're like, you like being the center of attention.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

And the one thing that Casey Anthony, most people I know, because guess what? We've. From all of our friends that are either either famous or have been through scandal, guess what? They're like, I want to go live on a farm.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

I don't want to go anywhere. I'm sick of you. I'm sick of people. I don't want to do this anymore. Meanwhile, Casey Anthony got a touch of it and she was like, yes, please. Like, that takes his very specific type of sociopath.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, one of the things I found was really interesting was all the lawsuits that were filed against Casey Anthony after the trial. Because if you'll remember correctly, I don't know if you know about the specifics of the Casey Anthony trial.

[Julie]

I would like to get a recap.

[Marcus Parks]

Sure. Her daughter went missing and she didn't report it for 31 days. And then finally she showed up to her parents place and like, yeah, so my daughter's been missing. And then they called the cops and Casey Anthony gave them a whole song and dance, gave them a number of different excuses. And one of the excuses that she gave, she said that I think that my daughter was taken by this woman, Zanny, the nanny, Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez. And of course, this woman had nothing to do with the murder whatsoever. Had nothing to do with anything. But since her name got out into the press over and over again, Zenaida Gonzalez, Fernandez Gonzalez, so on and so forth. She sued Casey Anthony for defamation.

[Ed Larson]

As she should have.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. As she should have. Because Casey told the Orlando police that her babysitter had stolen her two year

[Ed Larson]

old and then changed her story in the middle of, like, included the xany, the nanny story, but then included this story about how she was routinely, routinely sexually assaulted by her father and that her father helped her.

[Marcus Parks]

All that came way later.

[Ed Larson]

That's what I'm saying. That's kind of where it transmuted into the trial where she was kind of. Then that was a big surprise. That was a big thing saying that, basically. And her father was also surprised to be accused of molesting her. And then they essentially said, I brought a dead baby to like a dead, formally drowned Caylee to my father to help me cover up this crime. And he said, absolutely not. That did not happen.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. And so Zenida Fernandez Gonzalez, she'd never met Casey in Her entire life. She lost her job, she lost her house, she received death threats because of the Zanny the nanny lies. Turns out Zanny the nanny, what that was was she was giving her daughter Xanax to calm her down so she could go party.

[Ed Larson]

She basically give her a Zanny so she'd knock out, then she'd go to the club and come back.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, that's where Zanny the Nanny came from. But an attorney for Casey said that she was distraught that she couldn't pay her legal fees because she was going through bankruptcy at the time. Oh, yes. But unfortunately she got a win in this case because a judge dismissed the Fernandez Gonzalez case and concluded that Casey didn't state specifically that Fernandez Gonzalez personally kidnapped and murdered Kaylee Anthony. And unfortunately, a year later, Fernandez Gonzalez was arrested for credit card theft and grand theft for stealing a cancer patient's credit card at a motel in Kissimmee, Florida. Spent about 800 bucks in stores around Orlando and Kissimmee.

[Julie]

That's not even that much, you know. That's an expensive town.

[Marcus Parks]

The second lawsuit, this one I find fascinating. There is a volunteer based search group out of Texas called Texas Equisearch. Do you guys watch that Texas Killing Fields documentary series? No, it came out last year.

[Ed Larson]

No, I didn't see it.

[Marcus Parks]

There's this area in Texas where just bodies just keep popping up in the same place. Like they just keep popping up.

[Julie]

Yeah, well, they grow them in Texas.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Julie]

Rebirth is a future murder.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, that's the idea.

[Marcus Parks]

Let's in the again and again, it's like you ask why we don't do Texas cases is just because they're brutal and just dull. Like it's just like, here's the body. That's it. Like it's. Nah. Yeah, Texas cases are absolutely brutal. But this one single man started this group called Texas Equisearch that helps with, you know, finding missing kids and things. After Casey Anthony reported Kaylee missing to the police, like there was like a months long search for this kid where there was, you know, the parents were sitting outside, you know, they were giving interviews every day, you know. Do you remember the fucking Project Monarch?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

There was a whole thing where people were saying that Casey Anthony's mother was an MK Ultra agent. Like an MK Ultra sleeper agent.

[Julie]

You can't give her that much credit.

[Ed Larson]

No, it's so hard. She was. It's so hard to get that training.

[Julie]

So did anyone ever get convicted of Kaylee's death?

[Marcus Parks]

No, absolutely not.

[Julie]

And it's it's so I guess it's an open case.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, yeah. There's no one, no one has even come close to being like another suspect. Does not even come close. I mean. Because Casey Anthony killed her. Yeah, I mean she just definitely killed her. But Equisearch sued Casey Anthony for $100,000 because the company invested 112,000 of their donor funded resources, 4,200 personnel and two years searching for Kaylee Anthony when Casey knew that she was already dead. Because Casey's entire court case is like, yeah, I knew she was dead. I gave her to my father. Like my father gave the. The body to me. And then he got rid of it

[Ed Larson]

and then everything changed again. And she later went on to do the Peacock series.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, the Peacock. My God, the Peacock series. Was infuriating to watch the Peacock series.

[Ed Larson]

It's hard because I feel like a lot of we're in this new age where we want the Clap Back to the Clap. Back to the Clap. Back to the Clap back. Because it just in a never ending series of takes in which we slowly but surely end up in a dystopian milk filled shit country.

[Julie]

You know, that's what this show is.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, that's the goal. That's one of our goals. Stabilize. But this Peacock documentary is like they needed to hear from Casey Anthony and needed to hear her side of the story. And again, it's like about how often is this fucking story going to change? Because it went from the Zandy the nanny story, then it went to this accidental death of the family covered up into this house of horrors.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Which she begins to describe within this new documentary series is where Casey Anthony, where the truth lies is like she lived in almost Joseph Fritzel like experience. Elizabeth Fritzel like experience within a Joseph Fritzel household where she was routine. Routinely molested. Routinely molested. You got to be careful. You got to be careful around your father. You get routinely molested. And so he was routinely molested several times by her father and her older brother.

[Marcus Parks]

Not just several times, like constantly.

[Ed Larson]

Constantly. That Kaylee was a. Also a product of rape, Possibly incest based rape.

[Julie]

Okay. Do we believe any of this?

[Ed Larson]

No. Ask yourself. Look at Casey Anthony and you look at the way I'll just say this. Their words are coming out of her mouth. She obviously has been directed. She's Casey Anthony. And so the main problem is like that, right?

[Marcus Parks]

The main problem is that she's Casey Anthony.

[Ed Larson]

And so. And it's the way she tells the stories. Right. It's the way that she does it and we like, oh my God, it's this when she gets serious that comes

[Marcus Parks]

into the world of vocal fry.

[Ed Larson]

And so you know that bad things happen to her because she's starting to talk like this. And I don't fully buy the voice change. And I think the main thing is that if this was real, would this not have been up front and center of this story? Right. Would this not be number one? Yeah, I'm getting Rutula molested. Right. By everybody. And it's all happening. It just doesn't necessarily happening to my.

[Marcus Parks]

It's happening to my toddler daughter as well.

[Ed Larson]

And the, and the whole story changed that my father, Casey Anthony's father killed Kaylee on his own. That he just killed her, smothered her while giving her aun Maloost. Right. And then threw the body in the whole thing. And that she never knew that Kaylee was dead. She always knew that Kaylee was alive the entire time and actively searching within a 15 foot circle around her. Oh my God. Where is she? She. Oh, she's not in the living room.

[Julie]

I know. Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Because her, she said that her father kept telling her Kaylee's alive, Kaylee's alive. You just gotta wait and she'll be okay.

[Ed Larson]

Because he probably was telling her Kaylee was alive because he thought that maybe he was helping his daughter feel better about her missing daughter because he was trying to be a good father.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

So he probably was saying she's still alive because he maybe was trying to help her. And then she twisted those words again on her.

[Julie]

I mean. But 31 days before you report her missing, that alone is a crime. Right?

[Marcus Parks]

Well, that's interesting. It wasn't at the time, but since then there's been put in states around America there's some variation of what's called Cayley's Law. Because after a three year long investigation, coincidentally shortly after Casey was acquitted, the Department of Children Families, the DFC in Florida. Yes, I'm sure you're familiar.

[Julie]

Yeah, they, they love knocking on doors.

[Marcus Parks]

They released their report that concluded that Casey Anthony failed to protect her child from harm either through her actions or lack of actions which tragically resulted in her child's untimely death. While the report doesn't carry much legal weight, it is the first report of this kind to place the responsibility of Kaylee's death to on Casey if Casey were to have another child in for example, the findings of DCF could be brought up in future allegations. The DCF began their first review in 2008 when Kaylee went missing as Casey and Cindy and Anthony were very forthcoming. But the Anthony's gave DCF investigators the cold shoulder once Kaylee's remains were discovered. And Kaylee's death launched a second review when DCF received allegations of abuse at the hands of Casey. The report verified three allegations of abuse, death, failure to protect and threatened harm.

[Julie]

Did she have Xanax in her system?

[Marcus Parks]

Kaylee? Yeah, she was. So she was bones.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

But the time they got, she was bones. And actually how she. Oh, God. How the body was found is a utility worker had gone off into this wooded area that was, like, very close to the Anthony house to take a piss. Like, he just went off into the woods to take a piss. He was on the job and he saw a garbage bag and he kicked it. And Kaylee's skull came tumbling out.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, dude, Good God. Yeah, that's not what you want to win.

[Marcus Parks]

He also filed a lawsuit against Casey Anthony for a new pair of shoes.

[Ed Larson]

Honestly, even a pair of kids will be fine.

[Marcus Parks]

He had a great name. His name was Roy Cronk. Yeah. He filed a lawsuit against Casey Anthony for defamation, claiming Casey and her attorneys tried to shift the blame from Casey and Zanny the nanny onto him. Cronk claimed that Casey Anthony's attorneys called him a killer, a child snatcher, and morally bankrupt. Additionally, Jose Bias. I always want to say John Bias,

[Ed Larson]

I always do it, too. It's hard.

[Marcus Parks]

Jose Baez told the jury that Kaylee's death was an accidental pool drowning. And if that were true, then Casey and her attorneys knew their statements about Kronk were false, per his claim. Kronk also sued the National Enquirer and bounty hunter Leonard Padilla for defamation because Padilla was the one who bailed Casey

[Ed Larson]

out of jail, his her for her future paramour.

[Marcus Parks]

And Cronk's case was stalled by five years because of Casey's bankruptcy filing. By 2020, Judge Virginia Hernandez Covington sided with Casey Anthony and dismissed Kronk's lawsuit because Casey Anthony testified she had no idea how her lawyers were accusing Kronk of the crime.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, Yeah, I guess so. You could say that because she was too busy accusing her father and everybody else. And I also feel like, well, this is maybe a good way to even shoehorn talking about how the, you know, the Menendez brothers might be up for a resentencing.

[Marcus Parks]

I think they're out in six months.

[Julie]

It's very possible they might be out by Thanksgiving.

[Ed Larson]

We'll see. I still think that now, but we're looking at. In that case, you're seeing that stories about their father got corroborated by material outside of it. And still I am torn about the idea about whether or not you should be acquitted for murder in general, depending on whether or not you, like, if

[Julie]

the stuff with the father is true. They still shot their mother in the face.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. You know, like, so bizarre to me. But that's obviously. Obviously, there's a lot of people that don't believe it in that way. They don't. They don't feel that way. And that's. But that's how I feel, personally. I feel like murder should be the line. I know a lot of people that have had terrible things happen to them and don't kill anybody. And so I feel like that's like one of those where I feel that technically the ultimate survival should be you surviving and moving on and not committing revenge. I think that if, you know, in a world where everything's eye for an eye, it makes the whole world blind.

[Julie]

George Garcon loves to publicly let people out of prison. I mean, the guy who tried to kill Chappelle in front of the Hollywood bowl, he famously let out of prison, like, the next day.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. He's just. Because that is one of those. I do understand trying to change our minds and know that. Allow that maybe the law can change its mind. But I just don't know if it's going to put us in a good place if everybody then says, necessarily, I got. You don't have a. It's so hard to say. So sticky to say. If you. It's so. I don't even.

[Julie]

It's hard to say at any point that murder is okay.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. So, you know, it's like, unless it's

[Julie]

literally a soldier, like, is the only time that.

[Ed Larson]

Or you are directly defending your life or you're in a situation like Elizabeth Fritzel, like, if you get out and you kill your captor.

[Julie]

Well, Elizabeth Fritzel, I mean, you can compare that to the Menendez brothers.

[Ed Larson]

You cannot. You absolutely cannot. Did Elizabeth Fritzel get a Camaro?

[Julie]

No.

[Ed Larson]

No, I don't think that she did. I think that they. I. It's hard. It's. It's. We'll. Obviously, the other smarter minds speak upon this.

[Marcus Parks]

I mean, I can say with the Mendez brothers, like, I've been kind of obsessed with it lately. And I do like, all the abuse, definitely. I definitely believe all the abuse, like, that absolutely happened. I don't know if their lives were truly in danger, if they believe that their lives were in Danger.

[Ed Larson]

I don't.

[Marcus Parks]

It's kind of hard when you add the mother.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Into the situation.

[Julie]

Even if she did look the other way.

[Ed Larson]

She was a part. She was also being abused. She was locked in the same system of abuse that you were. And then you fudgeing killed her for it. So it's one of those where. I don't know. But when it comes to Casey Anthony, I think that we are. I think that she definitely was released on a technicality. I think, like, what are the. What's the difference between the Menendez brothers? And this is just an open question.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Saying this thing happened and that's why we murdered somebody. Right. So that's one thing that. So they're working on it. Meanwhile, like Casey Anthony said, a bunch of mess about her father and her mother. And then technically, they're at least alive to challenge it, which is what they did. So then they decided to take a bunch of lie detector tests.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, they had a response documentary to where the Truth Lies. Because where the Truth Lies was. I mean, it was long.

[Ed Larson]

It was also a horrible title.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Where the Truth Lies. Yeah. That's so stupid.

[Marcus Parks]

They were trying to be clever.

[Ed Larson]

It means anything.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes, exactly.

[Julie]

Yeah. It's.

[Marcus Parks]

I think you kind of got the crux of it. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

It means absolutely nothing. But. Yeah. Casey says, you know, that her father killed Kaylee when he was molesting her because she said that when her father molested her when she was a kid, her father would put a pillow over her face to keep her quiet. And so Casey says that probably her dad was molesting Kaylee and was putting a pillow over her face and accidentally killed her.

[Ed Larson]

And he said that that came. Was corroborated by his sentence. He said at the eulogy of Kaylee about how he'll always miss the scent her. Like her hair and the smell of her sweat. She said a thing from working out, which he then doubled.

[Marcus Parks]

Not from working out, from playing out outside.

[Ed Larson]

It was like a weird thing that he said, but it wasn't really like. It was just that he missed the smell of his granddaughter.

[Julie]

It's not a good family,

[Ed Larson]

you know,

[Julie]

it's not like everyone's clamoring to be in the Anthem. Any family?

[Ed Larson]

I guess not.

[Julie]

I just can't believe she never linked up with George Zimmerman. They're right next to each other.

[Ed Larson]

You don't think that they did. They definitely been at the same parties.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

You know, they're all at Maraga.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

But after that whole thing came out, because it's the thing is, the Anthony family, that they had no idea that any of this was coming. You know, they never had any idea that any of it was coming. And they actually didn't watch the series itself. They said they were told about all the allegations later. So they had their own special with A and E called Casey Anthony's Parents the Lie Detector Test.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, it was very. It's very Howard Stern esque. Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

And it was. You know, it was. Again, long. It was very long. And they really drug it out. And it's. It's harrowing to watch because you're just seeing. It's just watching two people in just such intense pain and grief because they're

[Ed Larson]

just going like, no, no, I didn't do that.

[Marcus Parks]

No. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

God, no.

[Marcus Parks]

And just talking about how their life has completely fallen apart the. Since the death of their granddaughter. And, like, you look at their house, and it's just this. It is a mausoleum to their dead granddaughter.

[Ed Larson]

They said their Life is still 99. Kaylee.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. And it's like there's pictures of their granddaughter. There's even pictures of Casey everywhere. It's like they didn't. They've. All they've done since Kaylee's death is add more pictures of Kaylee. So every single surface in the entire house, everywhere they look, they see a picture of Kaylee. It's like they're just purposefully, like, just shoving the knife into their heart.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah, Now I know what to

[Julie]

get him for Christmas.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, this is a Kaylee Anthony iPhone. Oh, yeah. We're more of a. We like the guy that was the alien.

[Julie]

Yeah. What if I accidentally get her a picture of Carmarlo Anthony?

[Marcus Parks]

Unbelievable confusion. Much confusion.

[Ed Larson]

But it's also like, you know, they both. Obviously their lives are destroyed. Cindy was forced to say, like, I would have known if there was sexual assault happening because it was. Our door was right next to her door. And just like, Jesus Christ. And what is she gonna do, sit there and go like, oh, she's getting

[Julie]

her good now, they say that she drowned, right? Kaylee? But, like, how do we know it wasn't his? Annex orbit us?

[Marcus Parks]

We don't know. The body was. Body was just bones when they found it.

[Julie]

Yeah. So how do they even know she drowned?

[Marcus Parks]

They don't.

[Ed Larson]

We don't. We don't know anything.

[Marcus Parks]

They actually have no idea how she actually died.

[Ed Larson]

We know that there was tape over her mouth, and we know that she was bound up inside of a bag. So something happened. And it did seem like from what she looked At. I actually don't think that she was drowned. I think she just had tape put over her nose and her mouth until she asphyxiated.

[Julie]

Yeah. And it was probably done by accident. No, in a weird way. No, I'm saying like the death itself was an accident.

[Ed Larson]

No.

[Julie]

You think it was a straight up murder.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Julie]

You don't think she was just using like Xanax and tape as a babysitter?

[Ed Larson]

That is. That's not a good babysitter.

[Julie]

I know it's not a good babysitter.

[Ed Larson]

You know, it's a better babysitter. Like a hungry. No, I don't. I think the tape was to kill. I think that eventually she just. Well, I'll get rid of her.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, she looked at her Firefox. History has. You know, I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was. You know. How long does it take to die from asphyxiation? Like, it's like very damning. Very, very damning evidence that was not introduced at trial.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Foolproof suffocation methods.

[Julie]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

What she was looking for.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. And that was on Firefox. But the cops didn't think to look at it.

[Julie]

It's useless.

[Ed Larson]

You know, it truly is. It's like. It is such a hot mail was

[Julie]

filled with awful stuff too.

[Ed Larson]

Legitimately. This is just an example of total. She just got off scot free and instead of living a life of. She just went away. She just would. She.

[Julie]

She just partied in France for a while.

[Ed Larson]

She does a lot of stuff.

[Marcus Parks]

She got into a big bar fight.

[Julie]

I know.

[Marcus Parks]

2021 in West Palm Beach.

[Julie]

Yes, I heard about that. But that was. I mean, did she like. She probably just. Someone saw her and tried to fight her.

[Marcus Parks]

No, they knew each other. The woman that she knew was. Her name was Thelma Moya and Casey said it was at o' Shea's Irish Pub. Oh yeah, that's o'. Shea's. Is. That's Casey's Local. Apparently what it was said at first was that they were having a fight over an ex boyfriend that they had dated at the same time Moya threw a drink at Casey. Casey threw a drink in Moya's face and Casey described Moya as her quote, arch nemesis.

[Ed Larson]

Oh yeah, that was her daughter.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

And I vanquished her.

[Marcus Parks]

Definitely an arch nemesis. Are having a good time. But Moya went on. She spoke with Fox News and said the argument had zero to do with their ex boyfriend and clarified they're not friends. They said the shared boyfriend is how they met originally. But Quote, there's more to it. I wish to not say, whoa.

[Ed Larson]

You know how that always is when always they say that thing of like, well, maybe I'll tell the whole story. Some days, I mean, they haven't fully made it up.

[Marcus Parks]

And so back to the TV show, Casey Anthony's parents, the lie detector test. Like, yeah, they just go through and they, they, you know, and they build up to the lie detector test and they do a really good job building up to it. But eventually both George and Cindy sit down for the test. Both of them pass it with flying colors. Like they actually bring in an FBI guy to do the polygraph. Polygraphs aren't 100%.

[Ed Larson]

I just feel like. Well, because the thing is, one thing I will say is that Cindy had put the ultimatum, if you fail the polygraph, we're getting divorced.

[Julie]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Which puts a little pressure also.

[Julie]

Yeah. It doesn't help the results.

[Ed Larson]

So the fact that he passed.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

While knowing that everything would be over if he failed to me actually makes it a little bit more like good. Make it a little bit like. Yeah. But we don't know anything about polygraph tests really. But we can't really say that they are reliable. But it's with the mixture of the other people with.

[Julie]

I'm going to go ahead out on a limb here and say with low intelligence like them could probably pass it easily.

[Marcus Parks]

I mean they were, I mean, I think that they had a. I mean they were very normal people.

[Ed Larson]

They're just normal people.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, they're just regular ass normal people. The most normal. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

It's like this is not.

[Marcus Parks]

I, George again, George Anthony, I mean he wanted to be goofy when he was like, that was his biggest dream was to be goofy at Disneyland.

[Ed Larson]

This is an opinion based show. So we're his feet. Whatever we want, they add, they do performance adding shoes. But I, my opinion is that George Anthony had absolutely nothing to do with this. Yeah, I think that Cindy Anthony had absolutely nothing to do with this. But it's my, that is my belief system because, and because especially because they say afterwards they try to say that Casey Anthony's pathological lying is because of how much she was molested. Which seems to also be a symptom of you being a part of some massive. I, I just don't get it.

[Julie]

I just don't get it.

[Ed Larson]

She just, she obviously is just a liar. She's a full on pathological liar.

[Julie]

Yeah, there's. I know plenty of liars that weren't

[Ed Larson]

molested and I know a lot of molested Liars who don't kill and their father for killing. You know what I mean? Like, there's so many ways to not be involved in murder.

[Julie]

Yeah. And at this point, there's no way for Casey Anthony to actually get in trouble for her daughter's death.

[Ed Larson]

No, it's over.

[Julie]

It's over.

[Marcus Parks]

Right?

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

The statute limitations already she got.

[Julie]

I mean, there's no statute of limitations on murder.

[Ed Larson]

She was examin was. She's exonerated. It happened already. It was double indemnity.

[Julie]

Yeah. Yes.

[Marcus Parks]

But the incredible thing is that, like, Cindy actually was friendly with Casey Anthony until, like, 2016.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

That was the last time that they talked to each other or the last time they saw each other. Cindy's father died, and so Casey came and, like, stayed with him for the night. Next morning, they were just chatting like nothing was going on.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

I don't think, like, they, like, didn't bring up the murder at all.

[Julie]

I mean, at some point, I know that she's so. That she's like, you know, literally Casey Anthony. But you miss your daughter.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes. They both say. They both say, like, we still, like, we still love her. We still, like, want to be like, but we don't. But we can't be around her.

[Ed Larson]

No, of course not. She killed your grandfather. Granddaughter. And you are. And brought you into it and try to blame you for it.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. And the. The last argument they had was because that's the thing, is that George and Cindy have Kaylee Anthony's ashes in their home. And then Casey asked to come over for Kaylee's ashes and Kaylee's clothes and whatever. Sydney said that she didn't deserve Kaylee's ashes, she's correct. And the ashes are the only thing left of Kaylee that Casey could ever give her. Casey threatened violence and said she would show up anyway and take them. She insulted Cindy for staying with her, quote, lying rapist, pedophile husband, Cindy. And this is like. I mean, this is a, like, bomb drop. Cindy responded by sending photos of the garbage bag Kaylee's body was found in with the message, you put her there.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

The last time they talked to each other.

[Ed Larson]

Moms know how to do it.

[Julie]

That's a relationship ender. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. It's really hard.

[Marcus Parks]

And Cindy also said that she's gonna scatter Kaylee's ashes before she dies so Casey can never get her hands on.

[Julie]

Now piece of shit in me is like, aren't. It's. Aren't those ashes actually Casey's property? If you want to go like, legally,

[Marcus Parks]

I don't know what the legality of remains are. Honestly, I have no idea.

[Julie]

I mean, we all know that she

[Ed Larson]

don't deserve them, but, like, legally, I believe she could sue them to get the ashes. Like, legally, she has been exonerated for the murder.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

It is her child.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

So, yes, I think legally she might be able to sue them. I'm not certain, though.

[Julie]

Damn. It's so terrifying.

[Ed Larson]

Well, it's just, you know, it's. It's one of those things where we as a society have decided. Have decided that that's what those decisions are made, and we have to deal with the repercussions of those decisions. And so in the world of us, she's completely innocent and we're committing slander. We're not entire episode. You know what I mean?

[Marcus Parks]

We're giving our opinion on what we think is that.

[Ed Larson]

Of course, but you know what I mean? That idea of, like, I still.

[Julie]

It's.

[Ed Larson]

It's one of those travesties. It's hard because the US, you know, the Justice Department ain't always batting a thousand.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. Because if this was slander both ways, Norm MacDonald would have prison for OJ jokes a long time ago.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

They just put him in career jail.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

But one of the last things George said on the. His special, him and his wife's special is just like, it's such a weird thing to say about, you know, someone who murdered their own daughter and then has spent her entire time since, like, destroying her father's reputation. He said, you blew it.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

You blew it, Casey.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

You really blew it.

[Ed Larson]

And, you know, she's a. She's out there because she's going to eventually get some form of television show or pornography film or we can have her boobies out in something.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, here's the thing. I actually was thinking about that earlier.

[Julie]

Had an only fans or something.

[Ed Larson]

By now she's so. She's starting to, I think.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, that's the thing is that I have actually was wondering earlier today, like, had this crime been committed in like, 2018 and she was acquitted in, like, 2020, which. And she was like, you know, in her early 20s. Would she have an OnlyFans in 2022? 20?

[Ed Larson]

You said she doesn't want to be a MILF. MILFs make good money.

[Marcus Parks]

That is true.

[Julie]

Yeah. And when she got it was, you know, society. We were actually kind of talking about this a little while ago before we started the episode back then in that time period in like, 2011 society, she probably would have Done. Hustler. You know, she was.

[Ed Larson]

I think that she was pitched several things.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

But she didn't. I think that the problem with Hustler said she couldn't pee on command. And that's one of the big things you got to be able to do for Hustler. Oh, you see this one that says she got the shirt. Casey Anthony was caught with the shirt that says, I need a hug. And then you look the at, it says, huge margarita.

[Julie]

Yes.

[Marcus Parks]

Man, she is just Florida through and through.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, she's so Florida. She's moving to Tennessee. Yes.

[Julie]

Yeah. Because now she's, like, broke up another family.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, wow.

[Ed Larson]

She broke up this guy's family, Tyson Rhodes. Because, man, there's supposed to be something about her, I guess you don't, you know, like, that's now a hack joke, but it's because, you know, there won't be any kids.

[Julie]

But.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I feel like I. I don't know what the deal. Why would you want this type of attention on you?

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

I just don't understand. People are broken that need this.

[Julie]

Yeah. This guy, Tyson Rhodes, he has a. He just left his family, like two daughters and a wife for Casey Anthony,

[Marcus Parks]

and they're moving in together in Tennessee. Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

I guess she can legally leave the state of Florida now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Well, she'll legally go anywhere.

[Julie]

The only thing keeping her there is the fucking Jimmy Buffett cover band she loves so much.

[Ed Larson]

It's so hard to think once you find your favorite. Oh, if you've never been to Vegan Burger in Paradise, that is one of my favorite. I love my acoustic versions of the world's worst songs.

[Marcus Parks]

Wow. He looks like a great a asshole.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, buddy.

[Julie]

Oh, he's got that piece of face.

[Ed Larson]

Guess what? His family dodged a bullet.

[Marcus Parks]

So I. I want to make sure that I have this correctly. We're looking at the pictures of Casey Anthony that were published on the Daily Mail. There's a lot of pictures, and in every picture, she's. Almost every picture, she's carrying a box. Are they taking pictures of her moving out?

[Ed Larson]

Yes. Moving into this guy's house.

[Marcus Parks]

Moving into this guy's house.

[Ed Larson]

She bought a house. And then he's. Move. I guess they're moving back and forth. It's something like that.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Where she gets. I don't know how she has the money to purchase a house. She has two homes.

[Marcus Parks]

My God. I don't know how she gets that money either. Because she declared bankruptcy years ago because of all the lawsuits and the legal fees.

[Ed Larson]

I think.

[Julie]

She ever write a book or anything?

[Ed Larson]

No, she can't fucking write a flipbook. I bet you can't figure out a menu.

[Marcus Parks]

I bet she got paid out the

[Julie]

ass for that Truth Lies. Yeah, yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

That Peacock series. I bet she got a massive payday.

[Julie]

I'm sure she got more of a payday than her parents did for their show,

[Marcus Parks]

Peacock Money.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah. And I also bet you that they weren't. If you were to find out that they took money for that documentary, it might be very bad to the story of the parents.

[Julie]

Parents.

[Ed Larson]

So I actually don't know if they were, besides like a little day rate or something. I think most people are expecting this baby murderer to take that cash money and use it again because literally, it's her entire brand.

[Julie]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

She's now made it a brand. Like, that's again why I think she's so. It's. It's okay for us to comment on her because she really has made it a thing. She is making this, like, will they, won't they? About her own daughter's daughter death.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Like, it's so sick. Like, it's so. Like, the idea that you would keep coming back to it and you would keep using it is just absolutely horrifying.

[Julie]

It's made by the same entertainment company that does the Olympics. Yes.

[Ed Larson]

And the NBA.

[Julie]

Yes. Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Well, hey, at least the NBA is used to babies being made and forgotten. Come on. These guys are horny.

[Julie]

Yeah. They're on the road.

[Ed Larson]

Everybody wants a dick.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, the thing is about Casey Anthony is that she's like many of these people. Like, she has made professional victim.

[Ed Larson]

Her entire.

[Marcus Parks]

Entire thing is that she was. She said that she's molested by her father. He killed her daughter. She's been wrongly accused this entire time. And that's why since 2018, she has been shopping around her own reality show called Casey Moving Forward.

[Julie]

Oh, yeah, that's right. Because she hates being on camera.

[Ed Larson]

She hates. She's so shy.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. It's called Casey Moving Forward. And she apparently had a private Twitter account where she's been boasting about, you know, like, it's. I'm having meetings. I've been taking a lot of meetings.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, she's been having fins. She has a finster.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. In the tweet, she said that she was positive it would be a hit and compared herself to Kim Kardashian saying, if Kim's family made it big with so much hate, so could she?

[Ed Larson]

Oh, she can. Oh, she definitely can. And she's a step away. She's like, she's gonna be a congressperson.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

You know what I mean? Like, at this point.

[Julie]

Because she never, like, continued to look for the murderer of her child or, you know.

[Marcus Parks]

No, she knew the murder. She said that. The father murderer.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Julie]

She should never rest until he's put behind bars. Right.

[Marcus Parks]

No, I guess she's just giving it up.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. I think that you don't understand that she's gotta go to slammies. Yeah. Because they got shot skis and, you know, they're doing $2 wells and that's big for her. She's got to get there. Because if she's not there, is it shot ski night? The whole fucking Fort Lauderdale scene falls apart.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, the synopsis of Casey moving forward centered around Casey's life, including her West Palm beach dating scene and her strained relationship with her parents. This was apparently planned well before. I actually think the 2022 Peacock Series was a.

[Ed Larson]

It was a. More definitely. What. Because what do we know now? Of course, because they'd already kind of said yes to something. And it started with. Definitely started as a big old pitch where. Because remember, executives look at us, and I include even us as people mixed with being entertainers, as. We're just a bunch of pigs that just like. Like to roll around a bunch of fucking slop. We're idiots. Right. And so what they do is they looked at that triangulation and they're like, of course the perverts and the rapists that are in our audience will love hearing the foibles of Casey maybe not getting along with her parents after. After accusing them of mass rape across their entire life. Right. So we'll just kind of playfully play with it. But then that story, it's like, that's not working anymore. Cut that storyline. New storyline. That is how she views her life. It's just like. And they just were like. And there were some executives, they were probably happier, obviously. Like, well, this is a sober look at Casey Anthony. And this is really going to get people going.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, Casey moving forward. One anonymous network exec saw the proposal and said, I think that's a losing bet. He said it would get. And I think he's absolutely right with this large audience initially. But what's really interesting about her fucking life.

[Ed Larson]

But you're talking about. Because you're talking about 2012 entertainment now.

[Marcus Parks]

This is 2024. This is a. This was a 2024, like, story.

[Ed Larson]

Executives pretend like they give a remote. They cancel everything after two episodes. They cancel whatever they dump. They couldn't possibly Give a saying.

[Julie]

He's not saying that he doesn't want to do it morally. They're saying that's gonna be good.

[Marcus Parks]

No, he actually said, he said, I hope someone else has the balls to buy it because I definitely would watch it.

[Ed Larson]

That's all they want from.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, well, he said the thing is about is that her life isn't interesting. It's only going to last a few episodes before the audience drops off. And the backlash would be massive. Like, the backlash would be absolutely huge. Wouldn't be worth it at all.

[Ed Larson]

I don't know. It seems like all these guys love backlash. That's absolutely their favorite thing on the face of the planet. So maybe they. I don't know. It feels like they, they like it. They think. That seems to be a feature, not a bug.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, it just might be.

[Ed Larson]

So we'll see Casey Anthony 2025 with Last Podcast and Left and Casey on their brand new travel show where we go get appetizers at Irish pubs across the entire country. And then we. Birth control, man.

[Marcus Parks]

Do you remember we actually, we did have a pitch many years ago when O.J. simpson was still alive for Casey Anthony and O.J. simpson to do a show together called the I didn't do it.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, it's. And them going out there looking for the real killers.

[Julie]

Yeah. Never stop it. She should start a podcast with Bill Cosby.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, and she's such a great storyteller. You know, Casey, the first thing I thought of when I saw you was I wish I could put an abortion

[Julie]

society
