[03:36]
A
This is the Mini.
[03:36]
B
This is the Mini. So we don't do that.
[03:38]
A
Here's why we're a little bit out of sorts, because right now we are in Nassau, the Bahamas.
[03:46]
B
We are in the fricking Bahamas.
[03:48]
A
And we are in a place called the Studio at Baja Mar, which is this gorgeous resort here.
[03:54]
B
Yeah.
[03:54]
A
And they have built a podcast studio at this resort, and we are now doing the inaugural podcast episode.
[04:01]
B
That's right. Like you can come and podcast here.
[04:03]
A
Yes.
[04:04]
B
Which is incredible.
[04:05]
A
Do you have a vacation podcast? Then you might want to come here.
[04:08]
B
And in fact, because we're on vacation and we're at this resort, we're doing kind of a themed minisode of vacation stories.
[04:18]
A
In fact, we have a vacation podcast ourselves. It's this podcast, and we're about to do it.
[04:23]
B
We're only ever. We're never going back to Burbank.
[04:26]
A
We're on the resort circuit now. Like many magicians and people who call bingo on cruise ships, that's us. We're resort talent.
[04:35]
B
That's right.
[04:36]
A
And I lost $100 in literally 4 seconds last night at the casino at this place, playing the Whit Houston slot machine.
[04:44]
B
I watched. It was epic. I did, too, though.
[04:47]
A
It was the funniest thing I've ever done. I wasn't paying attention.
[04:50]
B
You pressed the wrong button and it was. You got like, two spins.
[04:53]
A
Max bet. Max bet. You're done. Give up gambling. You're bad at it.
[04:58]
B
All right. You want to go first.
[04:59]
A
Sure.
[04:59]
B
Vacation themed minisode.
[05:02]
A
A vacation themed minisode with vacationers all around us. If you hear ambient noise, that's not. We didn't build this noise. No, this is real resort experience. Yeah, I can't get over it. Okay, so here's my first story. The subject line is, dad lost at sea on jet ski for three days. Survival story, dear brethren of mayhem and murder and Dottie, I love you, blah, blah, obsessed wannabe, your BFFs, et cetera, et cetera. I know that Karen is obsessed with survival stories, so I thought I would share a story of how my dad, Dale Chimenti, I'm guessing. And then it says, feel free to say his name. There are many articles about this story.
[05:41]
B
Holy sh.
[05:43]
A
This is the real deal. How my dad, dale Chimenti, survived three days at sea in the Gulf of Mexico in 1994. Oh my.
[05:50]
B
Okay, wow.
[05:52]
A
Okay, so it says the fam. My mother, Liz, father Dale, 5 year old brother Joey, 25 year old cousin Danny, and my 8 year old self went down to Cozumel in 1994. Danny is my dad's godson, and they've spent their lives pulling pranks and generally being ridiculous with one another. On the first day of the trip, they decided to ride jet skis while we sat on the beach with my mom. They rented the jet skis from the shack on the beach across from our hotel and secured their rental with a credit card. They drove about two miles offshore before my dad's jet ski broke down. They idled for a moment and considered their options. But since my dad had his credit card at the beach shack, he didn't want to ditch the jet ski.
[06:31]
B
Oh my God.
[06:32]
A
And then in all caps, it says, bad move, Dale.
[06:34]
B
Dude.
[06:35]
A
By the time Danny got back with help, my dad had already drifted away. My dad floated by himself in the ocean for three days. The jet ski sank almost immediately.
[06:45]
B
What?
[06:46]
A
Uh huh. So you would think, oh, the mother died, but I'll just sit here.
[06:50]
B
Yeah.
[06:50]
A
No. And he says, but he was able to keep hold of the seat until he hallucinated that a guy in the clouds named Paul was offering him a fresh glass of orange juice. And he let go of the seat.
[07:02]
B
Oh my Freaky.
[07:03]
A
Paul. Thank God you're here.
[07:05]
B
Oh my God. Okay, this is mind blowing.
[07:08]
A
Okay, you're not gonna like this part.
[07:10]
B
Okay.
[07:10]
A
Snakes wrapped around his legs. No. And he threw them off.
[07:14]
B
Are we sure those weren't hallucinations though?
[07:16]
A
I mean, they could have.
[07:16]
B
Yeah, I'm gonna pretend they're hallucinations.
[07:18]
A
When the snakes came, did you drop your glass of orange juice? You don't know what's going on. Okay. It says he also made a pact with the sharks. He promised that if they didn't eat him, he would never eat them. That's not. Sharks don't need that promise from you.
[07:31]
B
It seems like it worked.
[07:33]
A
He was able to put his shorts on his head at times in an effort to block the sun and the saltwater on his face. My mom sent us home with Danny and rented small Cessna planes to TR try to find my father. The Mexican Coast Guard didn't have anything in place for these kinds of situations. And she ended up getting the US Coast Guard involved. My God. It's an international incident. My father was not a religious man. But on the third day, he asked for a sign that God wanted him around. Several hours later, a mollusk covered Coke bottle with an inch of unidentified substance floated by. He didn't care if it was piss or Pepsi. And then. And he says. And he drank it even though it was a Coke bottle.
[08:13]
B
Yeah.
[08:14]
A
Not Pepsi. A German freighter that had changed its course two hours earlier came upon him. He still had his shorts on his head. And in his mind, he thought there was no way someone would pick up a man with shorts on his head from the ocean. The man who spotted him was named Archangel Kazhayong. Archangel? Seriously? What? Yeah. Dale was pretty crispy and dehydrated, but otherwise had no medical problems. As if his ordeal wasn't enough, the jet ski company attempted to charge him $5,000 for no jet Ski? Yep.
[08:45]
B
No.
[08:46]
A
My dad is the toughest SOB yet. The kindest, most gentle soul in the world. It's hard to believe it's been over 20 years since it happened. Strangely enough, he still loves the ocean and takes every opportunity to go to the beach.
[08:58]
B
No, no.
[08:58]
A
You know why? Cause Paul's always there.
[09:01]
B
Paul was there for him.
[09:02]
A
Not a religious man. But Paul is there for you in the clouds, isn't he?
[09:06]
B
Good old Paul in the clouds with his orange chin.
[09:09]
A
That's a religion I can get for.
[09:10]
B
Absolutely.
[09:11]
A
We have a display cabinet in our basement with the life jacket and all the newspaper and magazine article. I had the most atrocious sense of 90s fashion and braces. If you would like to read more about the. His ordeal. Oh, yeah. He wrote a book about it called Swept Away, A story of survival. And it's on Amazon and itunes. Yes, I would like to read that book.
[09:30]
B
What the hell? That was worth this entire trip. This story right like, you couldn't have told this in our little Burbank studio. It would have been like, not great.
[09:39]
A
Okay, well, great.
[09:40]
B
You had to tell us when we're both in resort wear and we both
[09:43]
A
in paradise, we have two massive jet skis waiting for us. The second this record is over, that is.
[09:51]
B
There's so. That is so many levels.
[09:52]
A
Yeah, right. Wow.
[09:54]
B
I don't even know how. Like, that's the only one we should do today.
[09:56]
A
Goodbye. And that was from Stephanie Chimente Hammond.

B
Okay, here is my first one. Okay, this is called My Boyfriend Left me for Dead.
[14:46]
A
Oh no.
[14:48]
B
Hey gals. Love you both so much and could fangirl all day, but let's get into it. I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Back in 2014 I went on a holiday with my boyfriend for the first time. We were 18 and newly in love. We went to Perth for a week and it was perfect until on our last day we went to the beach and were building mega sandcastles and paddling in the ocean all day. The day was going amazing and I was so over the moon with my first boyfriend. Holiday. Remember those? We were out in the water and standing about three feet deep, just talking and laughing and being grossly in love when suddenly he turned around and started running back to the shore. I yelled out asking what was wrong and where he was going, but he did not respond and just kept running. I decided I should follow because clearly something happened. I got to the shore and he was standing on the beach looking out into the water with the most frightened look on his face. I once again asked what's wrong and what happened? And he said there's a fucking shark in the water.
[15:48]
A
Oh sorry.
[15:49]
B
I was shocked. I looked out into the water and about six feet from where we were just standing was a, you guessed it, seal. Oh no. Swimming around playfully. I turned to him and said that's a seal you idiot. And he responded, well I thought it was a shark. Okay? That's when it occurred to me. You thought it was a shark and you left me in the water and didn't say anything like didn't even yell shark. He just looked at me speechless. Yes, he left me in the water as a human sacrifice. Ah, 18 year old boys. Some might think this might have been the end for us, but nope. Oh we are now married. Four amazing children. Double down and he is still scared at the beach. Shout out to my sister for telling me. I would really like podcasts and I should try listening to this podcast insisting I would love it. And she was in fact, right. Hi, Annie.
[16:44]
A
Annie. It's always the sisters.
[16:47]
B
Stay sexy and learn the difference between a shark and a seal. And maybe tell your girlfriend why you're running. Emma. She. Her.
[16:53]
A
Emma.
[16:54]
B
She married him.
[16:55]
A
She sure did.
[16:56]
B
It was a seal.
[16:58]
A
Well, have you seen that movie Force Majeure?
[17:00]
B
Force Majeure, Yes.
[17:01]
A
Emma, if you haven't seen Force Majeure, it is the best movie. And it's a real study in this exact thing. Because what I started thinking is Bradford, who works in our legal department, it's been my friend for a long time, has such a fear of sharks that I once sent him pictures of sharks with human teeth. Cause it's the funniest thing. And he was like, please don't ever do that again. So maybe that guy had the same thing.
[17:24]
B
Okay, but you can still yell the word shark.
[17:26]
A
That's very true.
[17:27]
B
It's like when you're golfing, don't you have to yell something so you don't
[17:30]
A
hit someone with a. I don't wanna be on this guy's side, but fear does weird stuff to you.
[17:34]
B
Okay, Okay. I feel you're giving her an excuse and I appreciate that.
[17:37]
A
I want her love to be pure.
[17:39]
B
I think it is. They have four kids. It has to be.
[17:41]
A
I mean, it better be. Emma, get your husband to write in about what his thoughts were that day. We'd love to hear it. We'll give him his own equal time. Another great ocean story. This subject line of this email is saved from a tiger shark by dolphins. Come on. This is Lisa Frank Story, Karen George's Stephen and Critters. I'm a scuba diver based in Nebraska. And then in parentheses it says, yes, I know who is obsessed with many, many sea critters to involve sharks of all kinds, toothy and toothless alike. So I have to preface this with a couple of hills that I will die upon. One, sharks are a vital part of the global ecosystem.
[18:19]
B
We didn't say to kill all the sharks.
[18:20]
A
Listen, no one don't lecture us of the global ecosystem. And villainizing them only promotes the myth that they're voracious man eaters.
[18:28]
B
They are. But we still like them.
[18:30]
A
Absolutely are number two to sharks. Humans don't look, smell or taste like food. Most of the attack. Emma, please, please play this part for your husband. Most of the attack instances occur when humans are in situations where we look like they're food, turtles and seals, or the shark is very young and reckless. Picture a little shark with a Douchey oversized tee. They just don't know any better.
[18:53]
B
Backwards hat.
[18:54]
A
Yeah. Just being like, hey, man, I'm being cool in the ocean. Okay, now for the shark story. I was on a live aboard dive boat. Sorry, I was on a live aboard dive.
[19:03]
B
What the. I don't know what any of that is.
[19:05]
A
Like, you live on it.
[19:06]
B
Live aboard dive boat.
[19:08]
A
A live aboard div dive boat where our whole goal was to see as many tiger sharks as possible. So I was definitely putting myself out there as far as attacks go. Tigers are large, intelligent sharks that have beautiful striped patterns on their skin. We had very strict guidelines as to how we could interact with the sharks, and we spent nearly eight hours a day underwater watching these beautiful creatures. We were on a dive where one specific tiger shark named Allison. All the tigers and hammerheads have names, and the crew on the boat knows all of them.
[19:37]
B
Wow.
[19:37]
A
Allison is the funniest name for a shark.
[19:40]
B
That's my shark, Allison.
[19:41]
A
Yeah. Old Allison, she's fine. She bites a little bit. It's not funny.
[19:45]
B
She nibbles.
[19:46]
A
Her teeth are gorgeous. So Alison was swimming around us. She's a regular for this boat and was clearly very comfortable around divers. We were all taking pictures of her and admiring how beautifully she moves through the water when all of a sudden, three dolphins appeared and started squeaking and playing around us. Everyone freaked out. Dolphins were not common on the site. We were diving, and our attention totally shifted from Allison to these spotted dolphins.
[20:11]
B
Oh, my God.
[20:12]
A
So it says after 400 dives. I've never seen dolphins before. Wow, Nebraska. So I was 100% losing my mind taking photos and ended up breathing a little heavier than normal. I was getting low on air, so I had to go back to the boat to refill my scuba cylinder. Good diving practice. God damn it. Do not lecture us about diving practices. Good diving practice includes doing a safety stop at 15ft to allow your body to release nitrogen buildup that accumulates while you're breathing compressed air underwater. So there I was, hanging out all by my lonesome, when Allison became a little less interested in the group of divers on the sea floor and a little more interested in me.
[20:48]
B
Oh, no.
[20:49]
A
Now, I know it's unlikely that Allison is really coming after me, but she's getting pretty close. It only takes one curious bite from her multiple rows of hooked, sawing teeth to do some really serious damage.
[21:00]
B
So now you're afraid of sharks? You're not allowed to be. You can't pick and choose when they're good and when they're bad.
[21:06]
A
What's the thing we're learning? It's when it's about her. That's when she's like, actually, she's a
[21:11]
B
shark apologist, and I am not here for it.
[21:13]
A
So it says at this point, she's five feet away from me.
[21:16]
B
No.
[21:17]
A
So, like, little further than this, and I'm sweating into my wetsuit. I turn a little so I'm facing her, head on. And then from the corner of my eye, I see three dolphins coming toward me from the side, and they swarm Allison, steering her away from me, allowing me to finish my stop and get to the surface. She's got pictures of all of this happening. So I got on the boat, told everyone within shouting distance what had happened, refilled my cylinder, and got right back in there to see more sharks. Cause Goonies never say die.
[21:47]
B
But people do, and sharks do.

I'm so thrilled my sister Ellie bugged me. Another sister. Until I listened to your podcast. I was instantly hooked and hounded. My best friend. Until she started listening last week. Now we all nerd out over our favorite moments, stay sexy and save our seas, Katie. And look at this last picture. It's literally the dolphins escorting Allison out of the area.
[22:11]
B
I love that. They were like, no, no, man. It's not worth it. Like, holding her back. No, no, no, man. Don't do it, Allison.
[22:16]
A
Don't do it.
[22:17]
B
Don't do it.
[22:17]

Like, who is she, anyways? That was amazing, right?
[22:22]
A
Yes.
[22:22]

Would you ever do that? Go into the water with sharks?

I don't need to.

I don't either.
[22:27]
A
I like movies.

Let's go to dinner.

A
Luckily, they're Simplisafe, a home security system backed by 24. 7 monitoring that can act when you can't.

[23:09]
A
I love the way Simplisafe makes everything so easy. Like the idea that there are cameras set up so easy that you can just check those cameras on your phone that the second you have a thought that maybe something is going on in some part of the house, you just like pick up your phone, it's all right. And then if that's not something you can do, there are people that work there that do it for you. So you're always covered.
[23:31]

I really love the idea of RK because it really is sometimes about ritual. You want to belong, you want to have a drink with people, you want that feeling. But the next day you want to be able to go to work and be 100%. So this is like a nice little bridge to you still get to be at the party and then you get to live your best Life.

If you're looking for your next drama obsession, we've got one for you.
[26:54]
B
From the producers of the crown comes BritBox's brand new original series, the Lady. Inspired by a true story of a
[27:00]
A
royal scandal, it follows Jane Andrews, a working class woman plucked from obscurity and appointed the highly coveted role of Royal dresser to the Duchess of York at Buckingham Palace.
[27:10]
B
But after rising to the heights of British high society, everything starts to unravel, spiraling into obsession, suspicion and murder.
[27:18]
A
This is a story of class, ambition and the allure of royalty.
[27:22]
B
Starring award winning actress Natalie Dormer and Mia McKenna. Bruce. Bruce.
[27:26]
A
Don't miss the ladies. Streaming March 18th, only on BritBox.
[27:29]
B
Watch with the free trial@britbox.com Goodbye. Okay, hi. To the two older sisters. I wish I had. Oh, I know. This past summer.
[27:41]
A
Until we steal your curling iron.
[27:43]
B
Exactly. And yeah, okay, this past summer I took a trip to Nashville with my best friend. Now I'm not really a nervous flyer anymore, but let's just say I still have main character moments where one tiny bum convinces me when we are free falling from 30,000ft. Yeah, I don't know if that's main character energy or just fear. True. Yeah. Now because of this, I always try to distract myself with a movie or some music. So when I noticed a brand new rewind episode had just been uploaded, I took it as a divine sign from the travel gods. I pressed play and settled in, only to realize something sounds off. My AirPods must be breaking because everything is muffled. I crank the volume and I wiggle them around like an inch. That's weird. I say out loud to absolutely no one because my friend is asleep. But whatever. Better a muffled murder podcast than listening to the engines and convincing myself we are plummeting.
[28:31]
A
Do you.
[28:32]
B
Do I listen to every noise?
[28:33]
A
Okay, well, you kind of have to. Sometimes there's noises where you're like, there's no way you're supposed to be making that noise.
[28:38]
B
Right? And then you look at the flight flight attendant's face and if they look scared, then you're.
[28:43]
A
They start crying.
[28:43]
B
Exactly. Fast forward a bit and Karen is in the middle of vividly describing a murder like CSI could never. Levels of detail. After a few strange looks from fellow passengers, I decide I'm going to ask the flight attendant for a drink. I take one AirPod out and suddenly think, huh? Why can I hear Karen so clearly?
[29:02]
A
Oh, no.
[29:03]
B
Then it hits me to my absolute horror. One, my AirPods are not dying. Two, my volume is in fact all the way up. Three, I have been broadcasting a full blown murder narration to the entire plane at 8am on a Thursday.
[29:18]
A
Many people don't like true crime. You have to remember this.
[29:22]
B
The odd looks weren't judgy. They were looks of people genuinely wondering if they should alert an air marshal. This made for a very awkward walk off the plane once we made it to our destination. Stay sexy and maybe make sure your AirPods are connected before starting your murder podcast. Yeah. All my love, Erica.
[29:39]
A
Erica. Erica.
[29:42]
B
There has to be a lot of people who have done that.
[29:44]
A
It must be right. There's. I've heard about a lot of like it comes on when they're like in a drive through or something.
[29:51]
B
Or like when you. Yeah, when the valet. I just really made myself sound stupid with what saying when you're in the valet and the music starts, like I think your car and your connects and y.
[30:01]
A
And suddenly the guy's like. What I like is that I'm. I'm getting a little bit of secondhand embarrassment because it's like I was sitting on that plane yelling at the top of my lungs about something horrible.
[30:13]
B
Kind of you.
[30:13]
A
Yeah, kind of is me. Okay, here's my last question. Quickie. So their first line is as if I did Read this subject line. I'm just gonna save it. Cause it starts, yep. And then it says, was in the Bahamas visiting my then boyfriend's family, went out for drinks, had just the right amount of Bahama mamas to totter over, and in my most excellent drunk Karen voice, asked Tommy Lee Jones for a picture. No, because quote, my mom would kill me if I didn't ask you. I gave my phone to the bartender, and just before he took the picture, Tommy Lee Jones says very loudly, for God's sake, sit up straight. Your posture is terrible.
[30:49]
B
Oh, my God, you got posture shamed by Tommy. I thought it wasn't gonna be him at all, but no, that's even it's
[30:55]
A
him and he doesn't approve. The whole situation still makes me cringe. I did send the photo to my mom, who really would have killed me if I didn't ask because she loves the Fugitive. I mean, who does that? One of the most perfect movies, but honestly, not worth it. My posture was indeed pretty terrible on account of being blacked the fuck out.
[31:14]
B
No, that's how drunk she's. Oh, no.
[31:17]
A
We also both look miserable since I had just had my feelings hurt and Tommy Lee Jones pretty much always looks a bit cranky. Ssdgm. Michelle.
[31:25]
B
Oh, my God. These are Bahama Tommy Lee Jones.
[31:30]
A
Bahama Tommy Lee Jones.

My Favorite Murder Minisode 479

Hosts: Karen Kilgariff & Georgia Hardstark
Release Date: March 16, 2026
Theme: Vacation Disasters & Survival Stories

Episode Overview

In this special vacation-themed minisode, Karen and Georgia record live from the Bahamas at the Baja Mar Resort’s brand-new podcast studio—their first episode in the venue. Surrounded by fellow vacationers and resort ambiance, the duo shares listener-submitted “hometown” tales of travel mishaps, near misses, and wild adventures with their signature humor, warmth, and true-crime twist.

Key Discussion Points & Stories

1. Setting the Scene: Recording in Paradise (03:33–04:23)

Karen and Georgia announce they are broadcasting from the studio at Baja Mar, Nassau, Bahamas, and joke about switching from LA to the resort-circuit lifestyle.
Quote (Karen, 04:25): “We’re on the resort circuit now. Like many magicians and people who call bingo on cruise ships, that’s us. We’re resort talent.”
They share a story about losing money at the casino, expertly weaving in personal anecdotes that set a light tone for the episode.

2. Hometown Story #1: “Dad Lost at Sea on Jet Ski for Three Days” (05:01–09:56)

Karen shares an incredible survival story submitted by Stephanie Chimente Hammond.
In 1994, Stephanie’s father, Dale Chimenti, was separated from his family after his jet ski broke down off the coast of Cozumel. Trying to save his credit card deposit, he waited for help and drifted far into the Gulf of Mexico.
Dale spent three days alone at sea, battling dehydration, hallucinations (including a vision of a “guy in the clouds named Paul” offering orange juice), snakes, the threat of sharks, and the sun.
He made a pact with sharks that if they didn’t eat him, he'd never eat them again. He finally drank from a Coke bottle with an unknown liquid to survive, and, in a twist of fate, was rescued by a German freighter.
Quote (Karen, 07:10): “He promised that if they didn’t eat him, he’d never eat them. That’s not… Sharks don’t need that promise from you.”
The family was charged $5,000 for the jet ski, but Dale survived with no major medical issues, and the story is now part of family legend (and even became a book: Swept Away: A Story of Survival).
Quote (Georgia, 09:29): “That was worth this entire trip... You couldn’t have told this in our little Burbank studio. It had to be here, when we’re both in resort wear and in paradise.”

3. Hometown Story #2: “My Boyfriend Left Me for Dead” (14:40–16:53)

Georgia reads an email from Emma in Melbourne, recounting a beach vacation with her then-18-year-old boyfriend.
While wading in waist-deep water, her boyfriend suddenly bolted for shore without warning, convinced he’d spotted a shark. In reality, it was only a playful seal.
Emma teases that he used her as a “human sacrifice” and points out that he never even yelled “shark.”
Despite this alarming behavior, they are now married with four kids—and he’s still afraid at the beach.
Quote (Emma, 16:53): “Stay sexy and learn the difference between a shark and a seal. And maybe tell your girlfriend why you’re running.”
Karen and Georgia riff on how fear can make you act irrationally, referencing relationships and movies like Force Majeure.

4. Hometown Story #3: “Saved from a Tiger Shark by Dolphins” (17:41–21:47)

Karen shares an email from Katie, a scuba diver from Nebraska.
Katie describes how, while on a live-aboard dive boat aiming to see tiger sharks, she encountered a close call with a well-known shark named Allison.
During an ascent safety stop (alone and low on air), Allison approached too closely. Suddenly, three dolphins intervened, herded Allison away, and allowed Katie to finish her stop and reach the surface safely.
The story includes pro-shark facts, refuting shark stereotypes and highlighting ecological importance.
Quote (Georgia, 21:47): “I love that the dolphins were like, ‘No, no, man. Don’t do it, Allison!’”
Karen and Georgia joke about never scuba diving with sharks themselves, preferring “boats…and dinner.”

5. Hometown Story #4: “Murder Podcast on the Plane” (27:29–29:38)

Georgia relays Erica’s experience of accidentally blasting a graphic murder story from the podcast over an airplane speaker, convinced her AirPods were broken.
Only after fellow passengers gave her looks did Erica realize the whole plane had been listening to Karen’s gory narration.
Quote (Karen, 30:01): “I’m getting a little bit of secondhand embarrassment because it’s like I was sitting on that plane yelling at the top of my lungs about something horrible.”

6. Hometown Story #5: “Posture-Shamed by Tommy Lee Jones” (30:13–31:25)

Karen reads a quick story emailed by Michelle: After a few too many Bahama Mamas, she drunkenly asked Tommy Lee Jones for a photo at a bar in the Bahamas, only to have him bark, “For God’s sake, sit up straight. Your posture is terrible.”
Michelle’s embarrassing moment was immortalized in a photo she did send her mom—because, as she says, “she loves The Fugitive.”
Quote (Karen, 30:49): “You got posture-shamed by Tommy Lee Jones!”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On the podcast location:
Karen (03:45): “We are in the fricking Bahamas…And they have built a podcast studio at this resort, and we are now doing the inaugural podcast episode.”
On jet ski mishaps:
Georgia (05:33): “Bad move, Dale.”
On hallucinations at sea:
Karen (07:01): “He hallucinated that a guy in the clouds named Paul was offering him a fresh glass of orange juice.”
On fear responses:
Georgia (17:26): “Okay, but you can still yell the word shark.”
On sharks and dolphins:
Georgia (21:47): “I love that. They were like, no, no, man. Don’t do it, Allison!”
On accidental public murder podcasts:
Erica (29:17): “I have been broadcasting a full blown murder narration to the entire plane at 8am on a Thursday.”
On celebrity encounters:
Karen (30:49): “You got posture shamed by Tommy Lee Jones!”

[03:36]
A
This is the Mini.
[03:36]
B
This is the Mini. So we don't do that.
[03:38]
A
Here's why we're a little bit out of sorts, because right now we are in Nassau, the Bahamas.
[03:46]
B
We are in the fricking Bahamas.
[03:48]
A
And we are in a place called the Studio at Baja Mar, which is this gorgeous resort here.
[03:54]
B
Yeah.
[03:54]
A
And they have built a podcast studio at this resort, and we are now doing the inaugural podcast episode.
[04:01]
B
That's right. Like you can come and podcast here.
[04:03]
A
Yes.
[04:04]
B
Which is incredible.
[04:05]
A
Do you have a vacation podcast? Then you might want to come here.
[04:08]
B
And in fact, because we're on vacation and we're at this resort, we're doing kind of a themed minisode of vacation stories.
[04:18]
A
In fact, we have a vacation podcast ourselves. It's this podcast, and we're about to do it.
[04:23]
B
We're only ever. We're never going back to Burbank.
[04:26]
A
We're on the resort circuit now. Like many magicians and people who call bingo on cruise ships, that's us. We're resort talent.
[04:35]
B
That's right.
[04:36]
A
And I lost $100 in literally 4 seconds last night at the casino at this place, playing the Whit Houston slot machine.
[04:44]
B
I watched. It was epic. I did, too, though.
[04:47]
A
It was the funniest thing I've ever done. I wasn't paying attention.
[04:50]
B
You pressed the wrong button and it was. You got like, two spins.
[04:53]
A
Max bet. Max bet. You're done. Give up gambling. You're bad at it.
[04:58]
B
All right. You want to go first.
[04:59]
A
Sure.
[04:59]
B
Vacation themed minisode.
[05:02]
A
A vacation themed minisode with vacationers all around us. If you hear ambient noise, that's not. We didn't build this noise. No, this is real resort experience. Yeah, I can't get over it. Okay, so here's my first story. The subject line is, dad lost at sea on jet ski for three days. Survival story, dear brethren of mayhem and murder and Dottie, I love you, blah, blah, obsessed wannabe, your BFFs, et cetera, et cetera. I know that Karen is obsessed with survival stories, so I thought I would share a story of how my dad, Dale Chimenti, I'm guessing. And then it says, feel free to say his name. There are many articles about this story.
[05:41]
B
Holy sh.
[05:43]
A
This is the real deal. How my dad, dale Chimenti, survived three days at sea in the Gulf of Mexico in 1994. Oh my.
[05:50]
B
Okay, wow.
[05:52]
A
Okay, so it says the fam. My mother, Liz, father Dale, 5 year old brother Joey, 25 year old cousin Danny, and my 8 year old self went down to Cozumel in 1994. Danny is my dad's godson, and they've spent their lives pulling pranks and generally being ridiculous with one another. On the first day of the trip, they decided to ride jet skis while we sat on the beach with my mom. They rented the jet skis from the shack on the beach across from our hotel and secured their rental with a credit card. They drove about two miles offshore before my dad's jet ski broke down. They idled for a moment and considered their options. But since my dad had his credit card at the beach shack, he didn't want to ditch the jet ski.
[06:31]
B
Oh my God.
[06:32]
A
And then in all caps, it says, bad move, Dale.
[06:34]
B
Dude.
[06:35]
A
By the time Danny got back with help, my dad had already drifted away. My dad floated by himself in the ocean for three days. The jet ski sank almost immediately.
[06:45]
B
What?
[06:46]
A
Uh huh. So you would think, oh, the mother died, but I'll just sit here.
[06:50]
B
Yeah.
[06:50]
A
No. And he says, but he was able to keep hold of the seat until he hallucinated that a guy in the clouds named Paul was offering him a fresh glass of orange juice. And he let go of the seat.
[07:02]
B
Oh my Freaky.
[07:03]
A
Paul. Thank God you're here.
[07:05]
B
Oh my God. Okay, this is mind blowing.
[07:08]
A
Okay, you're not gonna like this part.
[07:10]
B
Okay.
[07:10]
A
Snakes wrapped around his legs. No. And he threw them off.
[07:14]
B
Are we sure those weren't hallucinations though?
[07:16]
A
I mean, they could have.
[07:16]
B
Yeah, I'm gonna pretend they're hallucinations.
[07:18]
A
When the snakes came, did you drop your glass of orange juice? You don't know what's going on. Okay. It says he also made a pact with the sharks. He promised that if they didn't eat him, he would never eat them. That's not. Sharks don't need that promise from you.
[07:31]
B
It seems like it worked.
[07:33]
A
He was able to put his shorts on his head at times in an effort to block the sun and the saltwater on his face. My mom sent us home with Danny and rented small Cessna planes to TR try to find my father. The Mexican Coast Guard didn't have anything in place for these kinds of situations. And she ended up getting the US Coast Guard involved. My God. It's an international incident. My father was not a religious man. But on the third day, he asked for a sign that God wanted him around. Several hours later, a mollusk covered Coke bottle with an inch of unidentified substance floated by. He didn't care if it was piss or Pepsi. And then. And he says. And he drank it even though it was a Coke bottle.
[08:13]
B
Yeah.
[08:14]
A
Not Pepsi. A German freighter that had changed its course two hours earlier came upon him. He still had his shorts on his head. And in his mind, he thought there was no way someone would pick up a man with shorts on his head from the ocean. The man who spotted him was named Archangel Kazhayong. Archangel? Seriously? What? Yeah. Dale was pretty crispy and dehydrated, but otherwise had no medical problems. As if his ordeal wasn't enough, the jet ski company attempted to charge him $5,000 for no jet Ski? Yep.
[08:45]
B
No.
[08:46]
A
My dad is the toughest SOB yet. The kindest, most gentle soul in the world. It's hard to believe it's been over 20 years since it happened. Strangely enough, he still loves the ocean and takes every opportunity to go to the beach.
[08:58]
B
No, no.
[08:58]
A
You know why? Cause Paul's always there.
[09:01]
B
Paul was there for him.
[09:02]
A
Not a religious man. But Paul is there for you in the clouds, isn't he?
[09:06]
B
Good old Paul in the clouds with his orange chin.
[09:09]
A
That's a religion I can get for.
[09:10]
B
Absolutely.
[09:11]
A
We have a display cabinet in our basement with the life jacket and all the newspaper and magazine article. I had the most atrocious sense of 90s fashion and braces. If you would like to read more about the. His ordeal. Oh, yeah. He wrote a book about it called Swept Away, A story of survival. And it's on Amazon and itunes. Yes, I would like to read that book.
[09:30]
B
What the hell? That was worth this entire trip. This story right like, you couldn't have told this in our little Burbank studio. It would have been like, not great.
[09:39]
A
Okay, well, great.
[09:40]
B
You had to tell us when we're both in resort wear and we both
[09:43]
A
in paradise, we have two massive jet skis waiting for us. The second this record is over, that is.
[09:51]
B
There's so. That is so many levels.
[09:52]
A
Yeah, right. Wow.
[09:54]
B
I don't even know how. Like, that's the only one we should do today.

Okay, here is my first one. Okay, this is called My Boyfriend Left me for Dead.
[14:46]
A
Oh no.
[14:48]
B
Hey gals. Love you both so much and could fangirl all day, but let's get into it. I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Back in 2014 I went on a holiday with my boyfriend for the first time. We were 18 and newly in love. We went to Perth for a week and it was perfect until on our last day we went to the beach and were building mega sandcastles and paddling in the ocean all day. The day was going amazing and I was so over the moon with my first boyfriend. Holiday. Remember those? We were out in the water and standing about three feet deep, just talking and laughing and being grossly in love when suddenly he turned around and started running back to the shore. I yelled out asking what was wrong and where he was going, but he did not respond and just kept running. I decided I should follow because clearly something happened. I got to the shore and he was standing on the beach looking out into the water with the most frightened look on his face. I once again asked what's wrong and what happened? And he said there's a fucking shark in the water.
[15:48]
A
Oh sorry.
[15:49]
B
I was shocked. I looked out into the water and about six feet from where we were just standing was a, you guessed it, seal. Oh no. Swimming around playfully. I turned to him and said that's a seal you idiot. And he responded, well I thought it was a shark. Okay? That's when it occurred to me. You thought it was a shark and you left me in the water and didn't say anything like didn't even yell shark. He just looked at me speechless. Yes, he left me in the water as a human sacrifice. Ah, 18 year old boys. Some might think this might have been the end for us, but nope. Oh we are now married. Four amazing children. Double down and he is still scared at the beach. Shout out to my sister for telling me. I would really like podcasts and I should try listening to this podcast insisting I would love it. And she was in fact, right. Hi, Annie.
[16:44]
A
Annie. It's always the sisters.
[16:47]
B
Stay sexy and learn the difference between a shark and a seal. And maybe tell your girlfriend why you're running. Emma. She. Her.
[16:53]
A
Emma.
[16:54]
B
She married him.
[16:55]
A
She sure did.
[16:56]
B
It was a seal.
[16:58]
A
Well, have you seen that movie Force Majeure?
[17:00]
B
Force Majeure, Yes.
[17:01]
A
Emma, if you haven't seen Force Majeure, it is the best movie. And it's a real study in this exact thing. Because what I started thinking is Bradford, who works in our legal department, it's been my friend for a long time, has such a fear of sharks that I once sent him pictures of sharks with human teeth. Cause it's the funniest thing. And he was like, please don't ever do that again. So maybe that guy had the same thing.
[17:24]
B
Okay, but you can still yell the word shark.
[17:26]
A
That's very true.
[17:27]
B
It's like when you're golfing, don't you have to yell something so you don't
[17:30]
A
hit someone with a. I don't wanna be on this guy's side, but fear does weird stuff to you.
[17:34]
B
Okay, Okay. I feel you're giving her an excuse and I appreciate that.
[17:37]
A
I want her love to be pure.
[17:39]
B
I think it is. They have four kids. It has to be.
[17:41]
A
I mean, it better be. Emma, get your husband to write in about what his thoughts were that day. We'd love to hear it. We'll give him his own equal time. Another great ocean story. This subject line of this email is saved from a tiger shark by dolphins. Come on. This is Lisa Frank Story, Karen George's Stephen and Critters. I'm a scuba diver based in Nebraska. And then in parentheses it says, yes, I know who is obsessed with many, many sea critters to involve sharks of all kinds, toothy and toothless alike. So I have to preface this with a couple of hills that I will die upon. One, sharks are a vital part of the global ecosystem.
[18:19]
B
We didn't say to kill all the sharks.
[18:20]
A
Listen, no one don't lecture us of the global ecosystem. And villainizing them only promotes the myth that they're voracious man eaters.
[18:28]
B
They are. But we still like them.
[18:30]
A
Absolutely are number two to sharks. Humans don't look, smell or taste like food. Most of the attack. Emma, please, please play this part for your husband. Most of the attack instances occur when humans are in situations where we look like they're food, turtles and seals, or the shark is very young and reckless. Picture a little shark with a Douchey oversized tee. They just don't know any better.
[18:53]
B
Backwards hat.
[18:54]
A
Yeah. Just being like, hey, man, I'm being cool in the ocean. Okay, now for the shark story. I was on a live aboard dive boat. Sorry, I was on a live aboard dive.
[19:03]
B
What the. I don't know what any of that is.
[19:05]
A
Like, you live on it.
[19:06]
B
Live aboard dive boat.
[19:08]
A
A live aboard div dive boat where our whole goal was to see as many tiger sharks as possible. So I was definitely putting myself out there as far as attacks go. Tigers are large, intelligent sharks that have beautiful striped patterns on their skin. We had very strict guidelines as to how we could interact with the sharks, and we spent nearly eight hours a day underwater watching these beautiful creatures. We were on a dive where one specific tiger shark named Allison. All the tigers and hammerheads have names, and the crew on the boat knows all of them.
[19:37]
B
Wow.
[19:37]
A
Allison is the funniest name for a shark.
[19:40]
B
That's my shark, Allison.
[19:41]
A
Yeah. Old Allison, she's fine. She bites a little bit. It's not funny.
[19:45]
B
She nibbles.
[19:46]
A
Her teeth are gorgeous. So Alison was swimming around us. She's a regular for this boat and was clearly very comfortable around divers. We were all taking pictures of her and admiring how beautifully she moves through the water when all of a sudden, three dolphins appeared and started squeaking and playing around us. Everyone freaked out. Dolphins were not common on the site. We were diving, and our attention totally shifted from Allison to these spotted dolphins.
[20:11]
B
Oh, my God.
[20:12]
A
So it says after 400 dives. I've never seen dolphins before. Wow, Nebraska. So I was 100% losing my mind taking photos and ended up breathing a little heavier than normal. I was getting low on air, so I had to go back to the boat to refill my scuba cylinder. Good diving practice. God damn it. Do not lecture us about diving practices. Good diving practice includes doing a safety stop at 15ft to allow your body to release nitrogen buildup that accumulates while you're breathing compressed air underwater. So there I was, hanging out all by my lonesome, when Allison became a little less interested in the group of divers on the sea floor and a little more interested in me.
[20:48]
B
Oh, no.
[20:49]
A
Now, I know it's unlikely that Allison is really coming after me, but she's getting pretty close. It only takes one curious bite from her multiple rows of hooked, sawing teeth to do some really serious damage.
[21:00]
B
So now you're afraid of sharks? You're not allowed to be. You can't pick and choose when they're good and when they're bad.
[21:06]
A
What's the thing we're learning? It's when it's about her. That's when she's like, actually, she's a
[21:11]
B
shark apologist, and I am not here for it.
[21:13]
A
So it says at this point, she's five feet away from me.
[21:16]
B
No.
[21:17]
A
So, like, little further than this, and I'm sweating into my wetsuit. I turn a little so I'm facing her, head on. And then from the corner of my eye, I see three dolphins coming toward me from the side, and they swarm Allison, steering her away from me, allowing me to finish my stop and get to the surface. She's got pictures of all of this happening. So I got on the boat, told everyone within shouting distance what had happened, refilled my cylinder, and got right back in there to see more sharks. Cause Goonies never say die.
[21:47]
B
But people do, and sharks do.
[21:51]
A
I'm so thrilled my sister Ellie bugged me. Another sister. Until I listened to your podcast. I was instantly hooked and hounded. My best friend. Until she started listening last week. Now we all nerd out over our favorite moments, stay sexy and save our seas, Katie. And look at this last picture. It's literally the dolphins escorting Allison out of the area.
[22:11]
B
I love that. They were like, no, no, man. It's not worth it. Like, holding her back. No, no, no, man. Don't do it, Allison.
[22:16]
A
Don't do it.
[22:17]
B
Don't do it.
[22:17]
A
Don't ruin this whole thing we got going.
[22:19]
B
Like, who is she, anyways? That was amazing, right?
[22:22]
A
Yes.
[22:22]
B
Would you ever do that? Go into the water with sharks?
[22:25]
A
I don't need to.
[22:26]
B
I don't either.
[22:27]
A
I like movies.
[22:28]
B
I like. I'll stay on the boat.
[22:31]
A
Let's go to dinner.
[22:32]
B
I was gonna say I like boats, but I actually don't. So I don't even.
[22:35]
A
I mean.
[22:36]
B
Let's go to dinner.
[22:37]

Watch with the free trial@britbox.com Goodbye. Okay, hi. To the two older sisters. I wish I had. Oh, I know. This past summer.
[27:41]
A
Until we steal your curling iron.
[27:43]
B
Exactly. And yeah, okay, this past summer I took a trip to Nashville with my best friend. Now I'm not really a nervous flyer anymore, but let's just say I still have main character moments where one tiny bum convinces me when we are free falling from 30,000ft. Yeah, I don't know if that's main character energy or just fear. True. Yeah. Now because of this, I always try to distract myself with a movie or some music. So when I noticed a brand new rewind episode had just been uploaded, I took it as a divine sign from the travel gods. I pressed play and settled in, only to realize something sounds off. My AirPods must be breaking because everything is muffled. I crank the volume and I wiggle them around like an inch. That's weird. I say out loud to absolutely no one because my friend is asleep. But whatever. Better a muffled murder podcast than listening to the engines and convincing myself we are plummeting.
[28:31]
A
Do you.
[28:32]
B
Do I listen to every noise?
[28:33]
A
Okay, well, you kind of have to. Sometimes there's noises where you're like, there's no way you're supposed to be making that noise.
[28:38]
B
Right? And then you look at the flight flight attendant's face and if they look scared, then you're.
[28:43]
A
They start crying.
[28:43]
B
Exactly. Fast forward a bit and Karen is in the middle of vividly describing a murder like CSI could never. Levels of detail. After a few strange looks from fellow passengers, I decide I'm going to ask the flight attendant for a drink. I take one AirPod out and suddenly think, huh? Why can I hear Karen so clearly?
[29:02]
A
Oh, no.
[29:03]
B
Then it hits me to my absolute horror. One, my AirPods are not dying. Two, my volume is in fact all the way up. Three, I have been broadcasting a full blown murder narration to the entire plane at 8am on a Thursday.
[29:18]
A
Many people don't like true crime. You have to remember this.
[29:22]
B
The odd looks weren't judgy. They were looks of people genuinely wondering if they should alert an air marshal. This made for a very awkward walk off the plane once we made it to our destination. Stay sexy and maybe make sure your AirPods are connected before starting your murder podcast. Yeah. All my love, Erica.
[29:39]
A
Erica. Erica.
[29:42]
B
There has to be a lot of people who have done that.
[29:44]
A
It must be right. There's. I've heard about a lot of like it comes on when they're like in a drive through or something.
[29:51]
B
Or like when you. Yeah, when the valet. I just really made myself sound stupid with what saying when you're in the valet and the music starts, like I think your car and your connects and y.
[30:01]
A
And suddenly the guy's like. What I like is that I'm. I'm getting a little bit of secondhand embarrassment because it's like I was sitting on that plane yelling at the top of my lungs about something horrible.
[30:13]
B
Kind of you.
[30:13]
A
Yeah, kind of is me. Okay, here's my last question. Quickie. So their first line is as if I did Read this subject line. I'm just gonna save it. Cause it starts, yep. And then it says, was in the Bahamas visiting my then boyfriend's family, went out for drinks, had just the right amount of Bahama mamas to totter over, and in my most excellent drunk Karen voice, asked Tommy Lee Jones for a picture. No, because quote, my mom would kill me if I didn't ask you. I gave my phone to the bartender, and just before he took the picture, Tommy Lee Jones says very loudly, for God's sake, sit up straight. Your posture is terrible.
[30:49]
B
Oh, my God, you got posture shamed by Tommy. I thought it wasn't gonna be him at all, but no, that's even it's
[30:55]
A
him and he doesn't approve. The whole situation still makes me cringe. I did send the photo to my mom, who really would have killed me if I didn't ask because she loves the Fugitive. I mean, who does that? One of the most perfect movies, but honestly, not worth it. My posture was indeed pretty terrible on account of being blacked the fuck out.
[31:14]
B
No, that's how drunk she's. Oh, no.
[31:17]
A
We also both look miserable since I had just had my feelings hurt and Tommy Lee Jones pretty much always looks a bit cranky. Ssdgm. Michelle.
[31:25]
B
Oh, my God. These are Bahama Tommy Lee Jones.

A

It's more of a silent sos, which could be warning me of an increased risk for events like heart attack or stroke. And a way I can catch that signal a simple urine test called UACR.
