This is the lost podcast on the left side stories.
Henry Zabrowski
That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes. Old people just think AI is magic. They can't get enough of it. They love it because they want heaven to be real. Because they're heading that way. They want heaven to be real. They want all these things to be real and they're super scared about it. So that's why they fall in love with the AI because AI can project an idea of heaven where Ozzy's just hanging out with. Wasn't it like it was somebody ridiculous? It was like him.
Ed Larson
Oh, it's XX tension.
Henry Zabrowski
No. Xxistension.
Ed Larson
He's 17 year old who was murdered now.
Henry Zabrowski
But do you think that him and Ozzy knew each other? No, there's no.
Ed Larson
I don't think there's any way they could have ever crossed paths in a million fucking years.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. He could probably name even.
Ed Larson
He was 17. He didn't know his own family.
Henry Zabrowski
Seriously. And like Ozzy Pro Youngblood was a waiter. Yes. Never mind the never mind.xxxtension.
Ed Larson
He just thought he was going to be able to steal his blood and then become younger.
Henry Zabrowski

Ed Larson
All right.
Henry Zabrowski

We are. Eddie, don't. No, no, no, no, no.
Ed Larson
I, I, I have some things to say. I have something nice to say. He seems like a good influence for shitty young children.
Henry Zabrowski
You're right for that.
Ed Larson
I feel that.
Henry Zabrowski
So you're right.
Ed Larson
And I wanted to like him because of that.
Henry Zabrowski
You're right. He's a good idol for tasteless children.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Correct.
Ed Larson
No, no, no, no.
Henry Zabrowski
He's a positive. He is.
Ed Larson
He's not a bastard.
Henry Zabrowski
No.
Ed Larson
And that does help a lot.
Henry Zabrowski
I agree.
Ed Larson
That really does help.
Henry Zabrowski
I agree. But it's not. We were. But it's like yacht rock.
Ed Larson
Metal.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. It's just. It's mall rock.
Ed Larson
All right, so I know you're double mourning your dad and. Aie sure. And I made a move. Are we recording? All right, so I made a move.
Henry Zabrowski
Okay.
Ed Larson
That I've never. I might be going too far as far as our friendship goes.
Henry Zabrowski
What do you mean?
Ed Larson
I think I. I made a move out of kindness, out of niceness. But I've never done this with another man. And so I made a move. I couldn't help myself. I bought us. Us.
Henry Zabrowski
Us.
Ed Larson
Not just you.
Henry Zabrowski
You and I. I wanted. I saw it.
Ed Larson
I'm like, henry needs this. And I was like, I need it too. Okay, so we now have matching bathing suits.
Henry Zabrowski
I can't get any gayer with you.
Ed Larson
This is.
Henry Zabrowski
Every time we go out, we get. People give us free cake, people give us free drinks saying, congratulations, love. Love should be accepted in all its forms.
Ed Larson
I know, I know.
Henry Zabrowski
Even if it's fat and ugly.
Ed Larson
I couldn't help it though. But look at these.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh my God, Eddie.
Ed Larson
Black Sabbath bathing suit.
Henry Zabrowski
This is the worst thing I've ever seen. And also, thank you. That is. Honestly, thank you so much. Eddie.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
You know how these are fat people stuff because it smells like donuts.
Ed Larson
It does a delicious smelling.
Henry Zabrowski
Why do these smell like. Why do they smell?
Ed Larson
And the webbing looks like pretty good. The webbing doesn't look as bad as it usually does.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Where. What part of China did you get this from?
Ed Larson
I got this from the Black Sabbath store when Aussie died. I was like, blacksabit.com.
Henry Zabrowski
I gotta help.
Ed Larson
I gotta help. A sweet leaf T shirt for myself. That's for me, dude.
Henry Zabrowski
Honestly, thank you so much. This is really nice.
Ed Larson
Like your style. They're not necessarily my style, but they're. But I needed them.
Henry Zabrowski
Whenever I can put them on my naked lower torso, I'll think of Ozzy and my father.
Ed Larson
And I got you a large. And I got me an extra large because I know you're a little tinier than me.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm not though, Anymore.
Ed Larson
Will they fit?
Henry Zabrowski
We might need to switch. We'll do it at the pool.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Welcome to Side Stories.
Ed Larson
And we'll be wearing these at the pool in Charlotte this weekend. We're gonna be at the night theater on Friday and I don't think we.
Henry Zabrowski
Have A pool in Charlotte.
Ed Larson
How about in Durham?
Henry Zabrowski
No, no, I think the only pool we'll have is pools of blood from the local criminals that we'll have to.
Ed Larson
Kill in order to say puddles over there, don't they? Yeah, it's a bunch of puddle life. But I'll put the bathing suit on. Sit in your puddles. Durham. We'll be there on Saturday at the Carolina, the last podcast on the left. And if you didn't get your tickets for us side stories in Asheville at the Orange Peel.
Henry Zabrowski
You're can't get them. You're ass. Your shit's and your sucks. Yeah. Stand outside and hope we're loud enough.
Ed Larson
That's what I say.
Henry Zabrowski
We will be.
Ed Larson
Yeah, we will be.
Henry Zabrowski
But don't worry, we will be back because we're for attention and we're really, really excited to be there. My name is Henry Zabrowski. I'm sitting here with Ed Larson.
Ed Larson
Hello.
Henry Zabrowski
And we have a lot of updates. We have a special episode today. We have, we. You know, this has been a long time coming and I'm excited for people to kind of. They're going to hear some stuff today that we've been waiting to show you and I think you're all going to be super, super happy about it.
Ed Larson
Oh my God.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm on the Epstein list.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. That's the big news.
Ed Larson
The thing is though, he was on it and then he like paid to get on it. I added my retroactively.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, yeah.
Ed Larson
So he didn't do anything but he just wants to be associated with the people on it.
Henry Zabrowski
Love the brand. Yeah, love the brand. You know we have so much work going on here in the studio and I'm produc sing like three different things right now and I'm trying to make a movie and I'm sure. And I found myself yesterday in the middle of all this work. Just what I did to you when I said hey Eddie, have you heard of the third Epstein location where he wasn't just the island.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Was just the London apartment. It wasn't just the New York mansion. So there's a fourth location that actually there's a whole other Epstein side plot about his new Mexican ranch that was put inside of the land of former New Mexico governor Bruce King, who was the number one land holder in America who allowed Jeffrey Epstein to have a sweetheart deal. He sold him a. A huge tract of land in the middle.
Ed Larson
120 acres.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh yeah. In the middle of his giant family sections. They, they've had these holdings for like 150 years. They allowed Epstein to move there at a deal and then build what seems to be a giant living underground biodome. And that led to me doing like 10 tabs.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And there's so much other stuff I'm supposed to do. And I think that honestly, I'm grieving.
Ed Larson
It happened to me as well.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
I immediately brought it up to you.
Henry Zabrowski
I brought it up to you. And it destroyed our entire pre show meeting.
Ed Larson
Yeah, it really did.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Because we were supposed to. Because then I started talking about there's. That there's the Italian guy that was connected to the Flavio Briatore who's the Italian Donald Trump that was connected to Epstein by Naomi Campbell. Because Naomi Campbell was recruited by Epstein while he was working with Lex Wexler. Victoria's Secret. And nothing's ever got a. I'm never gonna leave this.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm never gonna leave this.
Ed Larson
I mean, it keeps getting bigger, you know, if you want to hide, put the ranch in old Mexico.
Henry Zabrowski
Old town Mexico. Historic downtown Mexico.
Ed Larson
It's called Zorro Ranch.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Yeah. He loves masks. But that's not the only. That's. Again, we've decided. I'm just. I just did it to us.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
I just side swept the whole show.
Ed Larson
No, it's fine.
Henry Zabrowski
Again.
Ed Larson
But we don't know enough to really talk about it yet. We're just learning.
Henry Zabrowski
It's just.
Ed Larson
We could just jibber jabber about. But I'd rather do that. About things that don't matter much as much.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. Yes. Because there is other stories. Number one. The number one story across our desk.
Ed Larson
I don't think anything has ever been sent to me more.
Henry Zabrowski
No.
Ed Larson
I've been so excited for today.
Henry Zabrowski
Everyone knows everyone's favorite impromptu making fun of the audience, quote unquote. Comedian Matt Rife, who sort of is slowly transitioning into an older lesbian woman. He has least the Warren home and some of the horror collectibles inside of it, one of which being Annabelle the doll. Now, Matt Rife, he's not a talented comedian.
Ed Larson
I actually think that he's a big statement coming from Henry Zabrowski. We all know he's playing Madison Square Garden suit.
Henry Zabrowski
You know who else did The American Nazi party. And so Matt Rife is. And the new Nazi party. But, you know, he's fine. You know, whatever. He's fine. He's just a broke like him. All right. Where he's. But he has decided to kind of stick his head into the paranormal slash occult slash haunted object business world.
Ed Larson
He says that he's a mega fan of the Conjuring universe, which is.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, he loves ip, I guess, which makes sense. I now believe Matt Rife, much like many of the comedians within these spheres, which you guys may or may not know, I think the audience might even like the fact that a lot of them are becoming Catholic. They're becoming religious. Well, it's this new.
Ed Larson
No one becomes Catholic. You leave Catholicism, dude.
Henry Zabrowski
I now know several people that were very good friends of mine that have become Catholic. Man, Covid was bad for everybody.
Ed Larson
That's crazy.
Henry Zabrowski
Covid hurt people.
Ed Larson
Is there at least, like, wives telling them to do this?
Henry Zabrowski
No. God. Oh. No guilt. No gations.
Ed Larson
Oh, that. There we go. Hold on. You're telling me I can't eat this.
Henry Zabrowski
Dude, and then people don't care that I'm no more? You're correct. Welcome to the team. And so Matt Rife is moving, I think, in a Christian way. I think people that say that they're a fan of the Conjuring franchise. What do we know about the Conjuring? It's about the Warren that are Catholic superheroes, famous frauds.
Ed Larson
We did a whole series on it.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. And now Annabelle has been doing, you.
Ed Larson
Know, whether or not a rapist.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes, yes. And whether or not you believe Annabelle is real or not, shit's going down. Right. Burnt down plantation, killed her handler, killed a road manager. She's now again for a while. You remember, because this is what's happened, is that we heard that Annabelle was missing. Then I was right. After Dan Rivera died, all of a sudden this Matt Rife news hits the news.
Ed Larson
Also with David Vera died. We didn't talk about this. All the 911 lines went down in Gettysburg.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. No. We talked about it briefly while he had.
Ed Larson
We did. But then he died. It's weird. That's a scene. Man has a heart attack and 911 goes down.
Henry Zabrowski
Can't get to him.
Ed Larson
Crazies. All right, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Henry Zabrowski
No, no, please. So. So the way, I guess the way this thing is worked out. So in this interim period, bad Rife comes out and says that essentially they've leased this property. So Tony Sparrow also, he came out, you know, obviously with his painted on beard. And the first thing he said was, we would never sell Annabelle. We would never sell any haunted object in the Warren home. Will I pimp her out? Yes. Yeah. So Tony Sparrow has now become Annabelle's pimp. Apparently, Annabelle is Tony Sparrow's bottom bitch now. Right.
Ed Larson
Well, top bitch.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, this is Big bottom bitch in the term is actually the top bitch in the. The bottom bitch means the ones that don't never leave.
Ed Larson
I never learned too much about pimp culture.
Henry Zabrowski
I'll tell you all about it. Come over to my. Let me hit you the head with my chalice. You're gonna love it when we're having Cesarep in the Riviera, my friend. But the so. So Tony Sparrow, he's Annabelle's pimp. Annabelle's prostitute during this time period. Matt Rife. I can imagine. Because we haven't seen Annabelle since the announcement, I'm going to guarantee she's going to have some work done. Matt Rife is going to be bringing her to his doctor. They're going to get her new tits. They're going to make her a woman. Wow. Now that's what I'm thinking.
Ed Larson
What do we think? Are Annabelle's fake ease going to be like cloth or are they going to be like brass?
Henry Zabrowski
They better be silicone.
Ed Larson
Right.
Henry Zabrowski
That's why I want to feel them.
Ed Larson
Why not?
Henry Zabrowski
I want to be able to see my. The dents of my fingertips in them.
Ed Larson
What if, like, you get it? You take Annabelle to the plastic surgeon and you get her there and you're like, we want to put new breasts on her. And then he's like, oh, okay. And then he's, like, getting in there. He's like, oh, my God.
Henry Zabrowski
I feel like, yeah. Yeah. My God. This haunted doll is stage four haunted doll, breast cancer.
Ed Larson
We can't put breasts on. We must remove them.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, my God. How do you do it? How do you take blood from a stone? No, it's all of this to say.
Ed Larson
So Matt Rife does not own Annabelle.
Henry Zabrowski
No, he's her john.
Ed Larson
He is.
Henry Zabrowski
He is.
Ed Larson
He has bought her for five years.
Henry Zabrowski
He's Leaster.
Ed Larson
Leaster?
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. He's like a Tesla. Yes. He has leased her just to make money off of this. And I think partially is what Eddie brought. One thing that Eddie brought up right before the show, which is the idea that, well, if they're touring in Maine, the Warren family and its entire foundation needs money.
Ed Larson
They probably need money. Yes. If they're in, there's still tickets available in Maine. So, I mean, if it's not selling out after Dan Rivera dies, what I think is Dan Rivera was holding this.
Henry Zabrowski
Deal back, and then he got moved out of the way and he dies.
Ed Larson
And then a week later this happens.
Henry Zabrowski
Sounds like somebody was obstructing, right? Yeah.
Ed Larson
So maybe Annabelle isn't the killer. Maybe the killer could be hypothetically Tony Sparrow.
Henry Zabrowski
Wow.
Ed Larson
I love coming. Rob shaking his head now blazing the slam.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, I keep. We're waiting for a response. Well, you know what, though? I'll give you a serious answer, though.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Because my little sparrows and my little sparrows.
Ed Larson
My little sparrows. It's a little overweight sparrow.
Henry Zabrowski
My spiders in the corner and my watchers, my eyes everywhere. I have eyes everywhere. And they whisper little things to me. They whisper little pieces of information to me. And one of those pieces of information I got, then I'm not going to reveal the source.
Ed Larson
No, you can't reveal your source.
Henry Zabrowski
But I believe that what we're seeing here is actually a hostile corporate occult takeover.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
Matt Rife, I believe, from what I've heard, has connections to Zach Baggins.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Zach Baggins is looking for market control.
Ed Larson
Current haunted doll owner.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
That Biggins, he owns.
Henry Zabrowski
Peggy, I think what we're seeing here is a Wolf of Wall street style switcheroo.
Ed Larson
Oh, here we come.
Henry Zabrowski
Tying in Wolf of Wall street in terms of the idea you have a guy. There's a term for it where you have a man come in. It's like a proxy that comes in and buys stock at a low price in your stead and then sells them as they go up, and they basically kicks it back to you. I think Matt Rife is a tool of Zach Bagan's paranormal business extension, and he is trying to bring Annabelle and the Warren crew underneath the Bagans umbrella from the outside.
Ed Larson
Okay, so he's got his big exhibit in Vegas.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
And also, no one's going to Vegas right now.
Henry Zabrowski
No.
Ed Larson
If you heard about.
Henry Zabrowski
No, no.
Ed Larson
Vegas is in trouble. Vegas is a big trouble. So they. They want to build up this thing is all hypotheticals. We're talking hypothetical. Sure. But Zach Baggins owns this giant occult museum, and now his boy owns some of the most notorious occult items in history.
Henry Zabrowski
This is an IP move. This is a Zaslav style.
Ed Larson
This is like when Disney bought Fox.
Henry Zabrowski
This is exactly what this is. This is a corporate move. This is what Matt Rife thinks he's bringing to the space. Matt Rife has a bunch of like, probably crooked Russian money men that he talks to all the time, much like everybody else that we know in the podcasting industry. And he is. He's got. He's getting a little whispers in his own head. I think they're all trying to bring it under the fold to sell some big old television show. But guess who's no. 1. Guess who's no. 1 asked who's a guess. Who's the one person no one asked about any of this?
Ed Larson
What? You?
Henry Zabrowski
Annabelle.
Ed Larson
Oh, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Nobody's asked Annabelle. Annabelle is being shuffled around like she's Julia Roberts looking for a part amongst the Weinstein brothers.
Ed Larson
If at any point she's being passed.
Henry Zabrowski
Back and forth like. Treated like a little hole. Yes.
Ed Larson
Oh, absolutely.
Henry Zabrowski
That's what's going on. You're just like Julia Roberts.
Ed Larson
Just like. Was she treated that way? She slept to the top. Really?
Henry Zabrowski
Escorting the blind items.
Ed Larson
I don't know.
Henry Zabrowski
She slept her way to the top.
Ed Larson
She's very talented. Sure.
Henry Zabrowski
And probably got that. She apparently had a fucking clamor that wouldn't snap shut.
Ed Larson
Do you know that? You know who paid for her hospital bill when she was born? Julia Roberts. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Who?
Ed Larson
Martin Luther King Jr. Because he, like, he had the hots for her mom, and then they were broke when she got born, and so Martin Luther King Jr. Paid for the hospital bill when Julia Roberts was born.
Henry Zabrowski
What the fuck are you talking about?
Ed Larson
I'm telling you, that's.
Henry Zabrowski
How do you know that?
Ed Larson
That's just random Julia Roberts facts.
Henry Zabrowski
Did you look that up? Wrong side Story is an lpoc.
Ed Larson
It's very real.
Henry Zabrowski
Who randomly pays for a birth? That's kind of crazy. Can I just go to a fucking. Can I just go to a hospital? I got that one. I won't say I don't worry about that one. Now. Let me see them mother. Let me see the mother. Yeah, I got that one. Is that what that is?
Ed Larson
Yeah, man. He did. It's totally real. That's Martin Luther King Jr. Paid the bill for Julia Roberts birth. Here's the backstory. NPR is reporting this.
Henry Zabrowski
Npr.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The world is finally learning the thrilling fact that Julia Roberts birth is exactly the thrilling factor. King Jr. And Coretta Scott King. So maybe it wasn't dubious.
Henry Zabrowski
What was the connection with this article?
Ed Larson
Family?
Henry Zabrowski
What date is this article?
Ed Larson
This article is from a while ago. This is from November 2022.
Henry Zabrowski
Okay.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
So wait, so out of the goodness of their hearts, they were friends. They were friends.
Ed Larson
And her. She comes from a poor family and. And so they. They paid for her. Her hospital bills.
Henry Zabrowski
I've never heard that before.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Good for them. So funny. Wow. What a random fact.
Ed Larson
Yeah, that's a good random fact.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, it really is. Well, we'll wrap up the now we know with this and we're gonna see what happens now.
Ed Larson
I just think it's wonderful that, like, the Warrens are the most notorious frauds and Then Matt Rife is also the most notorious fraud as a comedian. Now they're all in bed together.
Henry Zabrowski
That's.
Ed Larson
I think it's actually very beautiful.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, to be honest, we're just seeing that a lot, aren't we, Eddie? Yes, we're seeing that a lot. All the villains are really getting along well, which is. It's, it's, it's fine. But they can go and making this. They can go and make this money. But again, no one's asked Annabelle. So, Annabelle, you know what to do.
Ed Larson
Yeah, I mean, you're being forced to perform right now. People are. They're saying they're going to do sleepovers.
Henry Zabrowski
That's the thing. He's opening up the Warren house to the. To an Airbnb situation. He's doing all of this stuff. He's.
Ed Larson
If he calls it a scare bnb, I said it first.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes, he has been saying scare B.
Ed Larson
And B. I've been saying scare BB for years.
Henry Zabrowski
He's been saying, that's my ship.
Ed Larson
Scare B and B. Scare bnb.
Henry Zabrowski
Give him the money.
Ed Larson
Go yourself.
Henry Zabrowski
Give him the money. I said it.
Ed Larson
But it's right in the camera. Spare bnb.
Henry Zabrowski
We'll see if he actually gets any money, though. We'll see if he gets any money.
Ed Larson
What? Scare bnb. I didn't Google it.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, no, he never did.
Ed Larson
Are they haunted house Airbnb?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, yeah, sorry. He's not trying to make money, but at least he can't get it.
Ed Larson
I mean, technically, I'm performing it in my stand up.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes, very much.
Ed Larson
A little money off.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm just saying. Yeah, you could say it.
Ed Larson
I didn't know this existed.
Henry Zabrowski

Do we have another update?
Ed Larson
It really would be the best new Annabelle movie. Like her killing like this, a comedian.
Henry Zabrowski
Don't even bring it up.
Ed Larson
I mean, it's gonna get made.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, this is probably what Matt Rife is doing. Like, Annabelle world tour. It's her going across the country. I know. Causing chaos.
Ed Larson
He's gonna start bringing her on stage in these arenas.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. I mean, and then what situation?
Ed Larson
I feel like if you're gonna go see Annabelle, you have to consent to going to see Annabelle. You can. Annabelle can't be thrust upon people.
Henry Zabrowski
I can pretty much guarantee he's gonna do something that makes people upset with Annabelle.
Ed Larson
Imagine if you're like at a Jerry Seinfeld concert and he comes out and then he just brings out a fucking haunted doll without telling anybody.
Henry Zabrowski
I give him standing ovation. Finally. Finally. All right, we have another update. Nowhere near as important, but the.
Ed Larson
The family story that matters.
Henry Zabrowski
The only story that actually mattered we just told, but the only. This unimportant story. Married couple that was found stabbed to death in the devil's Den, Arkansas park, which is. We've covered. Honestly. It's a very sad story. They're brutally, brutally murdered. They went looking for the guy, like, immediately. They said it was some weird white man, blah, blah, blah. They got him that day.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Andrew James McGann. Now this. This young gentleman from Springdale, Arkansas, 28 years old, was a teacher, was caught getting his hair cut. And people were saying they thought that he was getting his hair cut to hide his identity. I think it was just because the.
Ed Larson
School year was coming up that's what they say. Yeah, they say it looks like he was getting his haircut because he was about to become a teacher in a couple days.
Henry Zabrowski
So this. He's a teacher. He was a. I believe he did elementary school and high school.
Ed Larson
He did elementary school. He did high school in Oklahoma and then he did elementary school somewhere else. And he was released from both jobs.
Henry Zabrowski
The way that they scrambled. I was watching a news report on it. And the way they scrambled to erase him from any yearbook that he was in is. And again there's just nobody. Nobody's faster than the Internet audience.
Ed Larson
Elementary school, Flower Mound, Texas was where it was.
Henry Zabrowski
Flower Mound.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
That's a horrible name for elementary school. Just makes me thinks of children. Mass child's grave.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Fake cocaine, Texas.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Like God.
Henry Zabrowski
And so this is a. So people immediately are like how the fuck is he a teacher? He apparently was fired from one of these jobs, the elementary school job, for disturbing behavior.
Ed Larson
He was really. He was placed on administrative of leave in spring of 2023 for following concerns related to classroom management, professional judgment and student favoritism.
Henry Zabrowski
Now the way they. The way that reporters and other people within the teaching, I guess industry you'd call it were talking about this subject kind of deeply frightened me. And I think it's only just because I'm. I'm ignorant. But the way they talked about ignorant. I'm ignorant is that because the way they talked about having a job as a teacher, they compared it to construction workers and Covid nurses where they said it's a great place for drifting like criminals. And I was like, I didn't think about it like that they will hire.
Ed Larson
Anyone to be a substitute teacher.
Henry Zabrowski
And so this guy was just a substitute teacher to make money. I don't know if he was doing it for the kids.
Ed Larson
It doesn't seem like he was like abusive towards students. There's no. There's no evidence to say he was ever abusive towards students. But there was kill these kids that were with the parents either.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, it's only because the kids got away. The mom of the. Of the two that was murdered, she actually did an insane job holding him. Like he killed the father pretty instantly. She and him fought for a very long time. That allowed the kids to get away.
Ed Larson
And she got the kids to safety, then came back and that's when she got killed apparently.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. And so she fought hard to save the kids. And so that's like she's a hero. He. It. It's. It's just this like it was completely random and they're saying some like previous parents that have dealings with him, they were saying that he's a, he was a weird guy. Yeah, I mean I know that's, that's, you know, it's crazy to say looking at him.
Ed Larson
No, I mean he looks terrifying.
Henry Zabrowski
I know. I guess it's one of those people like he looks like the devil himself. I, Yeah, I know he's got crazy face. I look at him as just a standard evil broccoli headed white boy.
Ed Larson
He's got pig nose.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, he's just this broccoli headed child in a way that I wouldn't like the look of him normally.
Ed Larson
No, no, no, he's definitely scary looking. He looks like a steroid monster. Even though I'm just looking at his face.
Henry Zabrowski
He very well might be. I don't know what causes you to just sort of randomly attack a group of people that are hiking. He obviously tried. He, his Mazda that he escaped with had tape across the numbers. Oh really? So they knew that, but they knew that. They've just followed it apparently, which is how they found it at the barber shop eventually.
Ed Larson
I mean the fact that this murder was so random makes me think like there's a chance there's others.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, dead.
Ed Larson
Especially when you're jumping from state to state like this.
Henry Zabrowski
And he did it very poorly. Did very, very poorly. He was. You spread his DNA all over the crime scene. But that's then part of me wonders, is it the opposite? Was this the first guy though?
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Because like he had no significant plan. So maybe just an idea he had in his head.
Ed Larson
Yeah, it seemed, it all seemed, it's just so random. And that's obviously the scariest part of it.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh yes, very much so.
Ed Larson
Yeah. But the, they, the, the police say they had a lot of help from the Arkansas people. They get over 500 tips before they found them and they got this.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. You know, and I think that that's really awesome. Good work guys. We got him. And now it's definitely no more crime ever again in Arkansas.
Ed Larson
Never.
Henry Zabrowski
And it was their DNA. I think that they actually ended up catching him. Yes. He spread his DNA all over the whole thing and that's how they confirmed it was him.
Ed Larson
Right.
Henry Zabrowski
But obviously he still has to go to trial. It's going to be a whole thing. But he might play out at this point.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
All right, we got some other. I got another little update that I just want to read this, this email on butt sniffing.
Ed Larson
There's a couple emails on bus.
Henry Zabrowski
We came up, we talked about Last week about the Burbank butt sniffer that was captured for sniffing butts throughout Hollywood, the valley. He was walking around good, you know, getting on all fours.
Ed Larson
He loves the Barnes and Noble.
Henry Zabrowski
He loved a Barnes and Noble and he would sniff butts. And we asked you guys the question about, obviously it's a crime, but what's the crime? Like, what do you do here? Like, what do you do with the butt sniffer? So here, this is what I get.
Ed Larson
Sounds like a song.
Henry Zabrowski
What do you do? We're that old fashioned.
Ed Larson
Butts. What do you do with a butt sniffer boy? What do you do with a butt sniffer boy? You.
Henry Zabrowski
Work as a phone sex operator. And I talk to a lot of men who are sex offenders.
Ed Larson
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
The reason the butt sniffer sniffs butts in public isn't for the smells. It's for the effect he is having on the women he is sniffing. We talked about it a little bit. Predators like this enjoy the thrill of violating someone without the consequences. Like Henry said, they always escalate. They always escalate. Criminal activity will start with things like peeping and things that seem relatively harmless, but they will. They will escalate. And according to this person, I've spoken with many registered sex offenders that say that the only way to stop this behavior is imprisonment or chemical castration. Yikes.
Ed Larson
Wow.
Henry Zabrowski
Do it with borax.
Ed Larson
How about the legal analysis? This guy's. This is very interesting to me. Do you want me to take this one?
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, sure.
Ed Larson
Please keep this email anonymous as I am a lawyer. I am not.
Henry Zabrowski
Thanks, Greg.
Ed Larson
Yeah, I'm not your lawyer.
Henry Zabrowski
His name's not Greg.
Ed Larson
And I just don't need the notoriety that it no doubt follows. A definitive legal opinion and the legality of butt sniffing. As you stated, the suspect was charged with loitering with intent to commit a crime. And he was charged this way because loitering alone is not a crime in California unless the per intended to commit another crime. Crime. But what was the crime? Battery requires physical contact between the perp and the victim that didn't happen. Assault requires a reasonable fear of imminent contact between the per and the victim. And lewd sniffing alone does not rise to that level. Wow. Just like blowing an unsolicited kiss to a stranger is creepy, but it also doesn't rise to that level. Stalking or harassment or possibilities if he was asked to stop and did not. But the victim must be aware of the stalking harassment and it must be repeated. To date, there hasn't been reported that the victims allege Any of this. It is also not a trespass unless the perp was asked to leave the store by management and he refused. Also, if there had been some don't sniff butts in public condition to his probation, and yes, according to court can set conditions like this, police would have seen that in his record and he definitely would have been charged with a probation violation instead of lawyering. Unfortunately, I don't think this is a crime. I'm not defending him. He's clearly a career criminal with some likely mental health issues and probably won't stop as long as he's outside a facility. But I don't see how you charge him with anything here.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, it's going to be difficult to get him for something. It's just. Just you. You just have to put it on the record.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And how do you. Yeah, you have to just put it on the record. And then he has to be told he can't sniff butts anymore in a court of law.
Henry Zabrowski
But I also did not get any emails about yoga pants and whether or not it does stifle butt smells.
Ed Larson
You're right, I don't think it does.
Henry Zabrowski
No one ever answered the question I posed. I just. See, I saw one person say that they. It's more to stop the smell of sweating.
Ed Larson
Oh.
Henry Zabrowski
And workout smells. All sorts of things. Dude. I was watching. I saw something on the random. Some reason randomly came up. It was a gum. I read it. Some old wrestler telling a story of. What's his name? Dusty Rhodes.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Wrestling Dusty Rhodes. And he said that he was with a bunch of big guys. He was in. It was him, Dusty Rhodes, Andre the Giant. And they said they did this thing where he didn't understand whether he walked in and before they were going out for the night and they were wrapping toilet paper around their two front fingers and sticking it in the back of their pants. Pants. And they're like, what the hell are you doing? He's like, what are you doing? He's like, what we do is when you're a big guy, I don't know if you know sometimes. And like, whatever will slide out of you. Right. And all this. So to keep us nice and for the smelling for the girls, we stick these little rolls of toilet paper between our butt cheeks up against her butthole. They called it a muffler. Right. They caught it on muffler. And he said. So this guy was wrestling Dusty Rhodes and he said that. That it was one of the worst nights of his life he had pulled. It was like one of the second or Third time, he was doing some feature thing. He was pulling him into a pile driver, and he said he couldn't get him over, so he grabbed him by his ass cheek, right? To grab him, to pull him over. And as he's pulling him over, the muffler shoots out of him onto the the mat in the middle of the wrestling match. And he said he looked down on it. He looked at the muffler, and it was yellow, brown, and red.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And he said he started heaving, where he's trying to throw up. Like he was gonna throw up heaving, right? And so. And someone. The audience started screaming his tampon fluid. He's got a fucking tampon. And he was the whole wrestling crowd. Yep, I know. Just maybe think of that. God, what a muffler, huh?
Ed Larson
Muffler can't come out. You got to keep that in there. That's a good move, though, for a big man. You know, it's hard being a big man. I've had the big man life. Sometimes you just gotta go in the.
Henry Zabrowski
Bathroom for a wipe, honestly.
Ed Larson
And that's the only reason you're going in there.
Henry Zabrowski
Tr though, that bidet. That bidet saved a fat man's life, and you should get one.
Ed Larson
I got Gold Bond. I'm fine.
Henry Zabrowski
Dude, spray your butthole with water.
Ed Larson
I clean my ass when I go in the shower. Do you not get in there when you're in the shower?
Henry Zabrowski
Sometimes, yeah, but now I don't have to as much because now I get sprayed in the bud with my bidet.
Ed Larson
But there's no soap involved.
Henry Zabrowski
No, you don't need soap necessarily involved when you're. Yes, you do. Well, yeah, on the outside of the butthole, but they get the just off of it. You seem to blast water on it.
Ed Larson
I don't know. I don't think it does the job you think it's doing.
Henry Zabrowski
No, I get the off of it and then I wash it later on. Guys, people are not gonna be happy about all the talk. Well, this is our show. This is how we catch up.
Ed Larson
You hear that, folks? We're being censored by our producer. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Weird. Yeah.
Ed Larson
I want you to do some more BLEEP censor, man.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, he's saying. Oh, they'll censor themselves. Whatever.
Ed Larson

Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
This was such a fun story. Now this is, this is just one of those where no one wants to.
Ed Larson
With the wasps.
Henry Zabrowski
I understand.
Ed Larson
Understand.
Henry Zabrowski
Right. We're trying to keep these.
Ed Larson
The bug.
Henry Zabrowski
The. The bug. Not the. Not skinny ladies. Not GTH Paltrow. So this was this a Cold War era nuclear facility in South Carolina. And these, I guess wasps have built these ra. These nests inside of them.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And on the outside. Yes.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And they've become completely int. Contaminated with, with radioactive material and now scientists don't know what to do with them.
Ed Larson
Why not just kill them?
Henry Zabrowski
They are. I, I don't know.
Ed Larson
They said, I guess you can't shoot fire at them. They're attached to a radioactive facility.
Henry Zabrowski
It was probing. Apparently the, the, the nest was probing or the, the, the containment unit that one of them was next to was testing at the contamination level of radiation was greater than 10 times the total contamination values listed in Federation Federal regulations for areas that require contamination posting and monitoring. So basically it's real unhealthy and the wasps love it.
Ed Larson
Yeah. But why not just hit them with some wasp spray?
Henry Zabrowski
I don't know.
Ed Larson
I think they're worried about what's going to happen.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
They're saying there's no. They're not worried. But if you're not going to kill them. Them then you must be worried.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, that's the thing. Yeah. Why do you keep saying if you're not worried if it's a thing that you can't seem to do anything about and you're saying you're not worried about.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
We wouldn't know about it if it was just wasps on a thing.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Why, how would we. That's a maintenance job. That's what a janitor does.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Right. We shouldn't be hearing about this then. If it's not a problem.
Ed Larson
Wasps usually don't venture further than a hundred yards from their nests. So that's like one of the other things that they're. That why they're not that worried because they're going to stay close to the facility. And so if they're not.
Henry Zabrowski
So it's just fine for these radioactive wasps to be right here.
Ed Larson
That is their football field sized home that they've now taken over.
Henry Zabrowski
This is their home. Don't go to the wasps field. Apparently they are spraying them too and removing some of them.
Ed Larson
Oh, okay. All right. Yeah. What would happen if you got like stung by a radioactive wasps?
Henry Zabrowski
I turn into wasp man. Don't you? Isn't this what they're doing? Isn't this the ulterior purpose for this is to create an undefeatable army of wasp men? Yeah, that's what's happening. That's what's happening. Matt Rife is helping. That's what's happening.
Ed Larson
They said that you would just get a allergic reaction similar to a regular wasp sting.
Henry Zabrowski
So why is this on the news then?
Ed Larson
Then it doesn't matter.
Henry Zabrowski
Why is this on the news then? If this isn't a problem?
Ed Larson
Problem.
Henry Zabrowski
I feel like somebody is like, this came out. And then a bunch of scientists talked to a reporter and they gave him a bunch of reasons of why it's fine.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
They're like, don't worry. Oh, wasps like to stay home.
Ed Larson
Yeah. I think a minute. A single sting would be minimal with the problems that would come up. But if you got stung by a bunch of radioactive wasps, then you might get hurt. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
If you get stung. Yeah. By a bunch of radioactive Ross wasp. Yeah. That sucks for you.
Ed Larson
Yeah, it does suck.
Henry Zabrowski
There's nothing to do about it.
Ed Larson
I mean, I imagine that's just like a new way to get hammered in South Carolina.
Henry Zabrowski
Why did they tell us? It seems that there's nothing they could do about it. There's. There's nothing they could really do about it. They don't. They're not worried about doing anything about it anyway. They're also like, they seem completely not concerned, but somebody's concerned because the wasps got radiation on them. Them and in them.
Ed Larson
I think that the words like.
Henry Zabrowski
It just seems like a lot of factors and a lot of like, what are you gonna do?
Ed Larson
I just think that it is. And we are. We are victims now as well. I think that the words radioactive and wasp next to each other is very appealing. Tell me about someone who reads the news on a regular basis.
Henry Zabrowski
Radioactive wasps. Great new worry.
Ed Larson
Yeah. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Excellent new way to be a nervous surface.
Ed Larson
But it seems like it doesn't matter.
Henry Zabrowski
No. Well, it's filed under insects, nuclear power, nuclear weapons, radiation, South Carolina United States and 8, 325. Yeah. It feels like you almost like in a way using the tags positioned, especially now that, you know, things are heating up between India. Like, like they just put that all together.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Into a thing where it's just like, I feel like something else is going to come out of this story also.
Ed Larson
It's like you know, 30 years old, you know, this Cold war site. Like when the cold war end in 1991. So like this is like 30 something years old. And now we're like, they should be strong by now.
Henry Zabrowski
Who? The wasps. Yes, yes.
Ed Larson
If they were going to be like, if there was a danger. We like, by now they should be extremely dangerous and gigantic. If anything was going to happen. Yes, yes.
Henry Zabrowski
At this point in time, this would be around the time that we'd have our first. First Chihuahua sized radioactive wasps.
Ed Larson
You're correct.
Henry Zabrowski
You're correct. It should be around this time when we see a half man, half wasp. Like. You're right.
Ed Larson
Yeah. So I think. I don't think we got to worry about this.
Henry Zabrowski
So why did we even hear about them? They started cleaning the place up in 96 and they say it won't be done being cleaned until 2065. That's. Cause that's what happens. You do it. A union job. That's what. That's what I said. No, we love our union people. We love our union people here. No, it's because of the radio.
Ed Larson
Yeah, we love union people because we love breaks.
Henry Zabrowski
I love a break.
Ed Larson
Oh my God, give me a break. Can I actually. Do you mind?
Henry Zabrowski
We want to take a break.
Ed Larson
Unfortunately, you're.
Henry Zabrowski
We're not unionized yet. We have to. We have to work.
Ed Larson
Well, I got a story that I want to talk about. If you're not going to let me go on break.
Henry Zabrowski
No, please, there's.
Ed Larson
All right. Denmark.
Henry Zabrowski
This is a big story. Stop the presses.
Ed Larson
Stop the. They're. Peter Beck is a great artist.
Henry Zabrowski
Jeff Beck's cousin.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, sorry.
Ed Larson
Beck. That kind of Beck. He is being criticized for his mermaid statue because it has perfect breasts.
Henry Zabrowski
Now this is. This one makes me kind of angry.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
All right. Because first of all, this is an Amsterdam. Right? Right.
Ed Larson
Denmark still.
Henry Zabrowski
Right. Is a horny group of people. These are Europeans. They show bush hair on primetime television.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Right. This is. That's what's going on in, in this part of the world. So they're mad about this mermaid statue.
Ed Larson
13 foot tall, big mermaid statue at Drager Ford. Part of Copen Hangers. Part of Copen Hangers.
Henry Zabrowski
It is A. Yes, it is a part of the new. They are copen hangers. He did give this mermaid magnificent tits.
Ed Larson
I. They are phenomenal.
Henry Zabrowski
So. But the thing is, I don't. I'm going to say they're not that unrealistic.
Ed Larson
No, they're not that unrealist. They are.
Henry Zabrowski
The thing is they're great boobs.
Ed Larson
One of. So the complaint is they're setting an unrealistic idea of the woman's body. It's a statue of a mermaid.
Henry Zabrowski
No, it's not. It's not a woman.
Ed Larson
It's not a woman.
Henry Zabrowski
It's a mermaid.
Ed Larson
It's a mermaid.
Henry Zabrowski
That's not. Doesn't exist.
Ed Larson
It's not a. It's a fictional thing.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, mermaids got great chaos.
Ed Larson
If you want to look like a.
Henry Zabrowski
Mermaid, I'll chop your legs off, attach a half a trout.
Ed Larson
That's exactly right. I don't think you got to worry so much about the breasts as much as you do about the gills.
Henry Zabrowski
And I don't think mermaids make milk.
Ed Larson
No. Well, this one certainly does.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. I mean it needs to be. It seems to be on the F side of the tank.
Ed Larson
You know, some people are calling it pornographic.
Henry Zabrowski
Those are people that shame larger chested women and men.
Ed Larson
Apparently though they're of the people who are complaining about the mermaid's breasts. There are way more people who like them.
Henry Zabrowski
Of course.
Ed Larson
That is the main issue.
Henry Zabrowski
It's a mermaid.
Ed Larson
It's a mermaid.
Henry Zabrowski
I don't. I think that. I think of it as small breasts. It would look like a child. I think it would look like a pre teen. Okay. I think that it's better when it's got big old swingers because, you know, it's of age.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, that's a full grown woman.
Ed Larson
They say they're. They complain because her arms are kind of together.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Say that like she's pushing her breasts up to make them look hotter.
Henry Zabrowski
She's trying to purge herself up on the rock. Yeah, you dirty. Also, you're the. You're the problem with it. Not like she's sucking on her nipples.
Ed Larson
Yeah, she's trying to become human. She's trying to woo a human dude so she can lose the fish bottom and get some legs.
Henry Zabrowski
You know what I think is actually more pornographic is when they put two starfish on them. Sucking on her nipples.
Ed Larson
That is weird. That's bestiality.
Henry Zabrowski
It gets so much worse.
Ed Larson
Worse. Yeah. That is way worse. You're right, Henry. Thank you. Let's move the Copenhagen.
Henry Zabrowski
I just don't I just don't think the statue's all that unrealistic. It's not.
Ed Larson
Well, that's what the guy.
Henry Zabrowski
Women got good boobs.
Ed Larson
Yeah. He says that my wife's got great tits compared to her height. Julie also has wonderful press, but we shouldn't be talking about that.
Henry Zabrowski
The.
Ed Larson
The.
Henry Zabrowski
The.
Ed Larson
But they're saying that comparatively, because she's 13ft tall, these really aren't that big of breasts. Because how tall she is that comparatively?
Henry Zabrowski
Poor horny council members just trying to figure out to keep the statue.
Ed Larson
Listen, I. I think.
Henry Zabrowski
I. I think that if we look down the actual mass of the woman, if we actually projected the actual biological factors, it's like, all right, Sven, you're fucking horny, man. We. The tits are staying in the movie.
Ed Larson
Yeah. It was first erected in Langley Pier in Copenhagen in 2006, but was denounced by locals and removed in 2018. So now it's back, and now they're trying to get rid of it again.
Henry Zabrowski
Europe needs to figure itself out. Are you horny and liberal and cool or not?
Ed Larson
I think when you go north, it's.
Henry Zabrowski
Less because again, it's cold.
Ed Larson
It's the whites.
Henry Zabrowski
But I also feel like they not get horny.
Ed Larson
They. I think they get different. They get secret horn.
Henry Zabrowski
Horny.
Ed Larson
It's too cold outside.
Henry Zabrowski
But wouldn't you be more corny? Wouldn't you be more horny, like in a warm place when it's hot, cold outside of the place?
Ed Larson
Yeah. I mean, these are, you know, the. These are the people that are notoriously some of the hottest people in the world.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
You know, Denmark, Sweden, you know this area.
Henry Zabrowski
No, they're very beautiful.
Ed Larson
Yeah. So, I mean, I say let the mermaid stay.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, just. Why you got to take so much, so much from us?
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
There's a war going on. Like five wars. Let us have the mermaid with the nice breast.
Ed Larson
This mermaid just wants to be.
Henry Zabrowski
It's not. It's not even offending anybody. Babies look at that and they just think, lunch.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, and we're supposed to be cool with breastfeeding in public.
Ed Larson
I think everyone on earth likes breasts.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. I don't think.
Ed Larson
I think even gay men like breasts.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes.
Ed Larson
I think everyone's like, breasts are awesome.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
You know, so why get rid of them?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. It's not like. It's because even penises like an erect penis. We had this long conversation.
Ed Larson
She had two dicks for tits.
Henry Zabrowski
That'd be interesting.
Ed Larson
Be interesting. I still want to see the statue. Don't know if it should Stay.
Henry Zabrowski
See, that's a double standard.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
See, if it had dicks for tits, guess what? I'd.
Ed Larson
Yeah. You commissioned that.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. I'm already calling a guy. I'm calling my marble guy, you know. You know my guy Giuseppe.
Ed Larson
So I like what you did here with the breast, but what if we lop those off and put it two dicks.
Henry Zabrowski
That's an incredible idea. What an amazing idea. I think we got just enough a marble to make a nice set of balls. Where the river cage you used to be.
Ed Larson
Oh, my God. Do you think they're gonna give this mermaid a breast reduction?
Henry Zabrowski
Don't.
Ed Larson
What?
Henry Zabrowski
Why do anything?
Ed Larson
I think that.
Henry Zabrowski
Why are we making anything?
Ed Larson
I think they should. If there would be a breast reduction over time from people just robbing them so much.
Henry Zabrowski
That's the idea.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Let nature fix it. Yeah. Or toss up for honor.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
If you can't handle it all right. When it's Kinter day. When it's Kinter day and all the kids are parading outside of the elementary school fools. They're all fucking bra on her.
Ed Larson
Yeah. You hear that? Soaring Gulfstripson.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. You fucking. You prude.
Ed Larson
Yeah. He says the. The statue's vulgar and unlikely to promote positive self images.
Henry Zabrowski
Dude, this is literally. You know how many times I talk to poor beleaguered women with giant breasts that are made to feel this way?
Ed Larson
I feel so bad for these ladies.
Henry Zabrowski
And they shouldn't be. There's nothing pornographic about you.
Ed Larson
Your.
Henry Zabrowski
Your simple, natural body.
Ed Larson
You're a woman. Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Show it. I got big tits.
Ed Larson
He shows them.
Henry Zabrowski
You know why? Because I earn them. I made them. These two hands in this mouth. Okay? So you don't. You let these people put you down.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Just because you got big awesome breasts doesn't mean you're a second class citizen. Except for Sydney Swinney.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Proving to be complicated.
Ed Larson
She is proving to be complicated. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Then I just read a little bit. I was like, oh, this seems. It seems very complicated.
Henry Zabrowski
She's complicated woman. She's. She seems to be. She's a child, actually. With a complicated woman.
Ed Larson
Child or it's not a child.
Henry Zabrowski
She's like 27 or something. Yeah.
Ed Larson
That's not a child.
Henry Zabrowski
Her brain's not solid yet.
Ed Larson
27 is the number.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. 25.
Ed Larson
Yeah. So that's like when I could start treating you like a human being.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. That's when you could start yelling at you.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There is. Speaking of not treating people like human beings. There was this one story that I just found interesting. A 76 year old man accused of giving children sedative laced candy at a local summer camp.
Henry Zabrowski
This actually happens quite a bit. Kids don't want a nap.
Ed Larson
No, he also, he also gave it to. Yeah. It doesn't seem like he was trying to sexually assault any children or anything like that. It seems like he just wanted some nap time.
Henry Zabrowski
He just wanted to go to sleep. No, I feel like there should be less time for that. I know it's bad and it's poisoning the children. Kill them obviously. But I think that truly it could be very. It's a funny idea. I feel like if you say as long as you didn't suck any of their little penises, then it's obviously a less crime. Yeah.
Ed Larson
You know what's funny is like if it was like an 80s comedy, this would be hilarious.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh yeah.
Ed Larson
Plot point where everyone laughed and talked about it for years.
Henry Zabrowski
You remember the sheriff. Sheriff doing all the pranks. All of these things were just like just two decades away from being in a Adam Sandler movie.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But John Rubin, 76. Don't have a 76 year old man watch children at a summer camp, by the way. I don't even know. He's too hot for him. He's gonna, he's gonna melt.
Henry Zabrowski
No, no, no, you need that. You need a younger person for that. Yeah.
Ed Larson
He's charged with three counts of willful ill treatment of a child. Child connection to an incident from Leicestershire. Who gives. A police received report on Sunday, July 27 that the children at a summer camp in Statham Lodge were feeling unwell. And then they all went to the hospital. Eight boys between the ages of 8 and 11 and one adult.
Henry Zabrowski
Wow.
Ed Larson
So he drugged an adult too.
Henry Zabrowski
Wow.
Ed Larson
So he really wanted some peace and quiet.
Henry Zabrowski
He just was looking for. He just wants some shut eye.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, every time. You know, my pop up would have very gladly put us all asleep.
Ed Larson
Oh my God. Well, they did. They put a little whiskey on their fingers, shove it in the baby's mouth.
Henry Zabrowski
They did it to me, gave me Benadryl when I wanted to, when they needed me to calm down.
Ed Larson
Yeah. See, I was a very calm baby.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
But I was laced with cheeseburgers.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. They knew.
Ed Larson
Yeah. I got up early.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Might as well give them some more tobacco smoke.
Ed Larson
I recently found a picture of me at my first cheeseburger and I was. Was a baby.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah.
Ed Larson
My fingers were barely able to hold.
Henry Zabrowski
Should not have been eating solid food yet. That's why your throat got so big. And honestly, God bless your parents for doing it.
Ed Larson
Hell yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
This just in, breaking side stories news. Just got back from getting my hair dyed.
Ed Larson
Yeah. What the hell happened?
Henry Zabrowski
It was in the middle of the episode.
Ed Larson
Did you put your finger in the socket?
Henry Zabrowski
No, I'm. I'm full, baby Billy.
Ed Larson
You're full, baby Billy.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. All right, now.
Ed Larson
Not Doc Brown.
Henry Zabrowski
Not Doc Brown. Not Doc Brown.
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So first I'm angry, now I'm angry. So, first of all, just so you know that we had a. We had to step away from the episode because we had a very special guest come in. And I think we can even say it right? Can we say it or no? No, let's keep it a secret. All right. We were going to wait. We're going to add it to the end of this episode, but we're not doing it yet. It's going to come out again, but.
Ed Larson
It ended up being bigger than we thought it was going to be.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, it's really fun.
Ed Larson
Fun.
Henry Zabrowski
But then I'll tell you kind of more so about what. What went down after it comes out. But we got a fun update, which we never get in the middle of an episode.
Ed Larson
Oh, what happened?
Henry Zabrowski
The thing you just sent me about how angry the Warren grandson is. Oh, yes, yes. The one that is underneath Lorraine and Ed Warren, the grandson that's still alive, he is coming out and he's fully against the sex. Fail. He's saying that this destroys the reputation of the entire Warren family, their world of research.
Ed Larson
He seems like he believes.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, I think he has to believe. He has to keep kayfabe. Someone has to.
Ed Larson
Yes, it's true.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, like, we can't. Like, these other guys are breaking it. They're all breaking. They're all showing all the. The works.
Ed Larson
But maybe. Why wasn't it willed to him? And why does Tony Sparrow have control and he doesn't have control?
Henry Zabrowski
Probably because he's bad at. Yeah, I imagine the grandson's super bad at stuff and not good at running the business.
Ed Larson
Business. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, I don't know. He's probably going to come after me illegally now.
Ed Larson
Yeah. He's a Nepo. Rosemary's baby.
Henry Zabrowski
Whoa. Interesting.
Ed Larson
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
You know what? I think I would actually like for him to come on the show if we could. If we could get. What's his name? The Warren legacy.
Ed Larson
I feel like we've burned our bridges.
Henry Zabrowski
No.
Ed Larson
With these people.
Henry Zabrowski
No, no. I'm telling you that.
Ed Larson
You desperate sucker.
Henry Zabrowski
But I'm gonna say Nesper you're gonna allow yourselves to get cock by that duck mouthed female comedian. That's what we're gonna do here. You're allowing yourselves to get.
Ed Larson
First of all, let's not talk badly about female comedians like that. You're right, you know, they are, I mean, they don't deserve that.
Henry Zabrowski
He's the young blood of the comedy. Legitimately, Rob. Yes, he is the young blood.
Ed Larson
I'm ready to pay the riffer. Oh.
Henry Zabrowski
But you see, you know, all.

Podcast Summary: Last Podcast on the Left – Side Stories: Annabelle Airbnb
Release Date: August 6, 2025
Host: The Last Podcast Network
Episode: Side Stories: Annabelle Airbnb
Introduction
In the "Side Stories: Annabelle Airbnb" episode of Last Podcast on the Left, hosts Henry Zabrowski and Ed Larson delve into a series of eerie and intriguing tales that blend the supernatural with real-world mysteries. Steering clear of the typical horrors like demons and serial killers, this episode focuses on the unsettling saga surrounding the haunted doll Annabelle, alongside other peculiar and disturbing side stories.
1. Annabelle Airbnb and Matt Rife's Involvement
Timestamp: 05:48 – 17:50
The episode kicks off with Henry Zabrowski revealing a bombshell: both he and Ed Larson find themselves on the infamous Epstein list, though Henry notes, “[06:07] Yeah, that's the big news.” This revelation sets the stage for a deeper dive into the mysterious connections between Matt Rife, a comedian venturing into the paranormal realm, and the cursed doll Annabelle.
Henry introduces a convoluted theory suggesting that Matt Rife is not merely a performer but a pawn in a larger, corporate occult scheme. “[16:02] Matt Rife is a tool of Zach Baggins' paranormal business extension...” they speculate, drawing parallels to corporate takeovers like Disney’s acquisition of Fox. The hosts posit that Rife’s involvement with Annabelle is part of a strategic move to consolidate haunted objects under the Bagans' control, potentially to monetize the supernatural through new media ventures.
A notable exchange occurs at [16:07], where Henry elaborates on the corporate motives: “I think Matt Rife is a tool of Zach Baggins' paranormal business extension, and he is trying to bring Annabelle and the Warren crew underneath the Bagans umbrella from the outside.”
The discussion paints a picture of Annabelle being leveraged for commercial gain, hinting at upcoming exhibitions and merchandise that blend horror with entertainment, thereby perpetuating the doll’s dark legacy.
2. The Murders in Devil’s Den, Arkansas
Timestamp: 27:03 – 32:20
Shifting gears, Henry and Ed recount the harrowing case of Andrew James McGann, a 28-year-old teacher from Springdale, Arkansas, who brutally murdered a married couple in Devil’s Den Park. “[27:28] Andrew James McGann, a teacher from Springdale, Arkansas, was caught after committing a violent crime…” Henry notes McGann’s troubled history, including past disturbances that led to his suspension from previous teaching positions.
Ed emphasizes the randomness of the murder, arguing, “[31:19] I mean the fact that this murder was so random makes me think like there's a chance there's others.” They discuss McGann’s apparent lack of a clear motive, speculating whether this might be his first violent act or part of a pattern.
A poignant moment at [27:56]: “He was placed on administrative leave in spring of 2023 for concerns related to classroom management, professional judgment, and student favoritism,” highlighting the systemic failures that may have overlooked his warning signs.
The hosts commend the swift response from Arkansas authorities, “[31:24] He spread his DNA all over the crime scene. But that's then part of me wonders...” acknowledging the effective police work that led to McGann’s apprehension.
3. The Burbank Butt Sniffer Incident
Timestamp: 32:26 – 36:56
Next, Henry and Ed explore the bizarre case of a man in Burbank accused of incessantly sniffing butts in public spaces, particularly around Barnes and Noble bookstores. “[32:28] We came up, we talked about Last week about the Burbank butt sniffer…” They delve into the psychological aspects of such behavior, attributing it to deeper issues among sexual predators who seek the thrill of violation without direct consequences.
A significant segment features a legal analysis provided by an anonymous lawyer (referred to as Greg): “[34:00] A definitive legal opinion and the legality of butt sniffing... loitering with intent to commit a crime.” Greg explains that while the act is undoubtedly creepy and invasive, it doesn’t typically rise to the level of assault unless accompanied by additional threatening behaviors.
Henry remarks at [35:56]: “But I also did not get any emails about yoga pants and whether or not it does stifle butt smells,” injecting humor into the grim topic while pondering societal responses to such invasions of personal space.
4. Radioactive Wasp Nests in South Carolina
Timestamp: 42:44 – 47:56
The conversation takes a turn towards the natural world with the unsettling discovery of radioactive wasp nests at a Cold War-era nuclear facility in South Carolina. “[42:44] This was a Cold War era nuclear facility in South Carolina. And these wasps have built these nests inside of them.”
Henry and Ed discuss the environmental and health hazards posed by these wasps, noting their adaptation to radioactive contamination. “[43:16] They’ve become completely contaminated with radioactive material and now scientists don’t know what to do with them.” The hosts speculate on the potential dangers if these wasps were to become aggressive or mutate further.
At [45:20], Henry humorously contemplates the idea of “wasp man,” blending the bizarre with the supernatural: “I turn into wasp man. Don't you? Isn't this what they're doing?”
The hosts ponder why such a peculiar dilemma is making headlines, ultimately concluding that the presence of these wasps remains a controlled issue with limited public impact.
5. Mermaid Statue Controversy in Denmark
Timestamp: 50:00 – 55:58
In a lighter yet equally odd story, Henry and Ed discuss the uproar surrounding a 13-foot mermaid statue in Copenhagen, Denmark. “[50:00] 13-foot tall, big mermaid statue at Drager Ford. Part of Copen Hangers…” The statue’s exaggerated female features, particularly its unrealistic breasts, have sparked debates over art, objectification, and cultural standards.
Ed highlights the backlash: “[51:52] The family story that matters we just told, but the only this unimportant story…” while Henry defends the artistic expression, “[51:08] It’s a mermaid. There's nothing pornographic about that.”
The duo mockingly suggest alternatives to the statue’s design, blending humor with critique: “[54:11] She had two dicks for tits. That'd be interesting,” showcasing their typical irreverent style.
Henry emphasizes the double standards in societal critiques of art: “[55:46] Speaker: The only story that actually mattered we just told, but the only… [55:50] It’s a mermaid,” reinforcing that mythical creatures like mermaids shouldn’t be subject to such scrutiny.
6. 76-Year-Old Accused of Drugging Children at Summer Camp
Timestamp: 56:00 – 62:58
The hosts then recount a disturbing case of a 76-year-old man accused of lacing candy with sedatives at a summer camp, affecting children aged 8 to 11 and one adult. “[56:00] 76-year-old man accused of giving children sedative-laced candy at a local summer camp.”
Henry speculates humorously about the motive: “[57:32] He really wanted some peace and quiet,” while Ed muses on the absurdity of the situation, “[57:36] He just was looking for some shut eye.”
They discuss the implications of such actions, questioning the severity of charges and societal responses. Henry adds a dark humor twist: “[57:32] He just wanted some shut eye.”
The conversation balances the gravity of the crime with the hosts’ signature comedic commentary, providing both insight and levity to a harrowing subject.
Conclusion
As the episode wraps up, Henry and Ed reflect on the intertwining threads of supernatural lore and real-world horrors, emphasizing the unpredictability of evil manifestations—whether in haunted dolls, random killers, or peculiar public offenders. They tease upcoming projects and special guests, maintaining engagement with their audience through humor and anticipation.
A closing humorous exchange at [63:53]:
Henry: “Your simple, natural body.”
Ed: “You're a woman. Yes.”
Henry: “Show it. I got big tits.”
Ed: “But they're saying that because she's 13ft tall, these really aren't that big of breasts.”
The hosts sign off with their usual banter, leaving listeners eagerly awaiting the next installment of Last Podcast on the Left.
