Episode Overview

This “Side Stories” episode bursts with the usual wild chemistry between Henry and Ed, as they recount their adventures at the Midsummer Scream horror convention, riff on horror fandom, dissect the news of the week (from wacky crimes to meme-lore serial killers), and dig into the psychology of clown killers, Grim Reaper pranksters, and infamous internet trolls. Stories range from true crime oddities and legal “Grim Reaper” shenanigans, to karaoke murder sprees and fittingly, listener ghost stories. The tone is irreverent, witty, and deeply entrenched in horror nerd culture.

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

It's like a ribbon.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, it's like a beautiful ribbon you have.

[Eddie Larson]

You brought it in Tupperware. Yeah. That's nice.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I think it's important to make sure

[Eddie Larson]

that we have a. If you have a runny stool, you're gonna use that. You gotta put that in your car now. Why is it black?

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yes, of course.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But I just don't think we need it.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

That man needs. He. He needs an enema.

[Eddie Larson]

You remember that from Dracula?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Dead and loving it.

[Eddie Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's what that man needs. Absolutely. Welcome to side Stories. My name is Henry Zabrowski. I'm sitting here with the absolutely chock full of con based dookies at Larson.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yep.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

What a fucking cool, fun place.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

We full on signed an adult baby.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Someone brought a baby. They brought it into the. They slapped it down on the table and it started crying. And it had a very cute shirt

[Eddie Larson]

that they made that said I wore my concert diaper just to meet last podcast on the left.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It was extremely fun. We just. What a wonderful afternoons. Afternoons we spent. We spent multiple afternoons.

[Eddie Larson]

Three straight nights.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, dude, it was awesome.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I got in the Mouth of Madness on vinyl. The John Carpenter. I'm looking at him. He's right there. I'm gonna take it over. He's gonna sign it. I'll buy something. Oh, yeah, I'll get a. I'll get a comic book and he'll sign. I'll ask him to sign this instead of the comic book.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes.

[Eddie Larson]

And so I wait in line for

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yes. Which is fine. I mean, he's a legend. He's. John Carpenter is actually one of my favorite directors of all time. Yeah. And I remember there was also. There was a skip the line for us, but I didn't do it. I waited in the line like a normie. And I was like, I'm going to do this the right way. And then I get up there and I'm like, oh, I want to get John Carpenter to sign my vinyl. How do I do that? Like, oh, you buy his new vinyl Cathedral, which is actually pretty good. Yeah, it's cool. And. And then you also Got to buy his comic book, and then he could sign two things, and then he won't take a picture. And I was like, okay, how much is that? And they said, $165. Whoa.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And I was like, yeah, after wa.

[Eddie Larson]

You know, so I'm just like, okay, sure. And then I paid it. And I was like, all right, I'm gonna give him the sign. My in mouth and a Madness. I'll give him the sign. The. His. His graphic novel. And I gave the graphic novel to Rob because Rob works so hard and he does so well, and he loves John Carpenter so much.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Thank you.

[Eddie Larson]

And then. No problem. I love you too. And I got up there and I got him to sign my thing, and I shook his hand, and I'm like, hey, I'm from last podcast. And I left. Yeah, okay. Yeah. And I was like, no, but it's like, we just did a whole series on you. I watched your whole catalog. Oh, thank you. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Y.

[Eddie Larson]

Today.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

And then I refused to give him the extra 50 for the picture.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, I had to. And then you. But Rob got the picture.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Rob got the picture.

[Eddie Larson]

Got the picture.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But Bill, it was. It was fun to watch Bill Mosley handle stuff. It was fun to watch the guy

[Eddie Larson]

for a moment until we realized that we had to spend, like, $50 even

[Henry Zebrowski]

to look at him, just to touch him. And it's like, you know, I can touch enough spindly men.

[Eddie Larson]

It is. But I understand that's what it'. That's how these people make their nut.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes, they do.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

I think 98% of the people I met were awesome.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

San Diego's a lot. San Diego's a lot. We've been there a lot. But now that we've been doing Midsummer Scream, it's just so much fun. We saw Bob Gurr, the Imagineer. He is ancient, impossibly old.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, but he.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

You're like a man. Like a man does. Chooses to close his eyes and never wake up a again.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. He puts cigarettes inside of hot dogs.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. He said, I'll tell Mickey I'll see him in hell. Amazing. But Bob Gurr, he was out there. I saw D. D Wallace was out there. I. Who's the guy next to us?

[Eddie Larson]

Adam from Rocky Horror.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, you're talking about Brad from Rocky Horror. We were semi obsessed with watching Barry Boswick handle the ladies because the ladies wanted a lot of the way they

[Eddie Larson]

wanted to get handled. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, they did. Absolutely.

[Eddie Larson]

And then who was the. The sound designer I met from army of Darkness?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Alan Howarth.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Wow. What exciting.

[Eddie Larson]

40 bucks for the sound designer of army of Darkness. Put some respect on his name.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He's John Carpenter's partner on all of his music.

[Eddie Larson]

Yes, he was. And not nowhere near John Carpenter. No.

[Henry Zebrowski]

They were not set. They were not allowed to be near each other. I don't know if they talk anymore. I doubt it. But Midsummer Scream, if you are on the fence for next year, you got to fucking go.

[Eddie Larson]

It's growing. It's going to be in Anaheim next year.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes, it's going to be. We. Last year we went.

[Eddie Larson]

Air conditioning is going to work.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, my God. That was the thing. Everybody was. We were moist.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

The entire time.

[Eddie Larson]

I leaked on many fans.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, I was just.

[Eddie Larson]

So many fans leaked on us.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes. Everybody was a wet. It was wet.

[Eddie Larson]

We were in it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Nay. But, you know, I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Eddie Larson]

[Henry Zebrowski]

It was the first time I was really single out, out and about. Right.

[Eddie Larson]

Iowa's where you chose.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

January.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And so anybody that was anybody was at that show, of course. And so he's like, so what we need to do, because big old college town. He was like, so I wanted to put butts in seats. So tonight, $5, all you can drink. So we said all these. We wanted to Set it up so

[Eddie Larson]

that all these $5.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Three men in chairs.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

They are. Just did not stop drinking. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. People were all over each other to the point where wrestling culture. Yes, yes. And there were a lot of cauliflower ears and a lot of cauliflower titties. And so we're out there. The. Me and Dave were trying to begin the show and not having it right. Audiences just. It's like we didn't even begin. And then all of a sudden, Eddie

[Eddie Larson]

couldn't yell at him enough.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Dude, it did. It's me. Eddie Pepitone could not get attention. Right?

[Eddie Larson]

That's wild.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Pepitone. Pepitone.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Eddie peppered bone. Oh, God.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Good. Check him out for him.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, go check him out over at Eddie Pep. You know, that's his Instagram. Give him a follow. Go tell him I sent you. But he.

[Eddie Larson]

His prostate's hitting the road as well.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, it is.

[Eddie Larson]

Separately. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Right now he's in San Antonio doing the flappers there. So then Dave and I realized we couldn't continue to. So we just started playing Night Moves on the guitar.

[Eddie Larson]

I mean, that's awesome.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. And we sang Night Moves twice, and then we walked off stage.

[Eddie Larson]

That sounds like actually a lot of fun.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Because then you still got to go

[Henry Zebrowski]

home then we're Just in Iowa City.

[Eddie Larson]

You should have at least went to the Bob Saget show. That. But that was a lot of fun.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Remember when Murder Fist used to have those shows over at Sound Fix? That was like. It was a. It was basically. So there was this record store in the back then a venue. In order to get people to come to the comedy show, they would do free drinks for an hour only. Well, in pbr, just know that open

[Henry Zebrowski]

bars do not suit. And live entertainment. No, it just does it.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes. And we were kicking people out.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Advertiser]

It really was.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

How drunk I'm allowed to get.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Exactly. Like, what's the level? What is the level?

[Eddie Larson]

What is.

[Henry Zebrowski]

What? What is. Oh, man. We were. That was really important. Those are important times for us.

[Eddie Larson]

They really were. But now they are over. Sound Fix rip. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I think it's a city.

[Eddie Larson]

Rip.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, it was city. Yeah, it's done.

[Eddie Larson]

It is done.

[Henry Zebrowski]

God knows what happen there, but IO City. Honestly, tell us where we should go.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. No. Is there a Christmas market? It's gonna be December. We can get ornaments together. Henry.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, I can't wait.

[Eddie Larson]

Eddie. Oh, God, I can't wait.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We've already done that.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. So I'll do it again.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. No, Henry and I buying nutcrackers. You listen to the show. You've heard that you. Now we just go to Severn DVD and buy all kinds of movies that are awful.

[Henry Zebrowski]

God, the dude. We went to Severin Films, go check him out. It was just like I bough threads on 4K.

[Eddie Larson]

They have every movie that should not be put on blu ray or 4k.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Dude got Baskin in 4k. Dude.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I don't know, Sean. I just don't. I don't remember.

[Eddie Larson]

I do love him. He was great.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I love him.

[Eddie Larson]

Handlebar mustache. Loved him.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I was again, if you're selling.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Near pornographic 4Ks at Midsummer Scream.

[Eddie Larson]

Handlebar Mustache.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Handlebar mustache. Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

That is required.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It makes me trust you.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. But I got this movie I'm so excited to watch. It's called the Siege. And it's all about, like, these cops that go on strike, which is really great because I'm really in a robocop right now. So, like, it works out. And so. So the cops go on strike. And then when the cops go on strike, they go to this gay bar. They kill everyone at the gay bar. Not funny, right? But here's what happened. One gay guy lives. He goes to the projects, and he enlists the projects to help him kill all the cops. It's gonna be excited to compl.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Complicated themes.

[Eddie Larson]

It was like, I will take one of those, please.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Thank you, sir.

[Eddie Larson]

And I got a bunch of alligator movies. I'm very excited. Yeah, we just wanted the DVD guy every day, basically. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Let's see if we got new stuff. Yeah. Each day we went to see if we got new stuff, and then we

[Eddie Larson]

got the same stuff, and we just kept buying it and kept getting it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

I bought four.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Actually, I bought. Now I'm thinking about it. Yeah, I bought two for Julie, actually.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, that's not great. That's not correct. I bought the tusk T shirt over a creeperama. Creeperama. Which guys.

[Eddie Larson]

Tampa, Shout Out Florida.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes, I'm incorrect. Best shirt I bought in the whole thing. It really was.

[Eddie Larson]

I got a thing and a psycho Gorman from them.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You guys got to go to Midsummer Scream. If you're in the area and you like horror movies. It is. What a way. What a way to spend money. And the best vendors, I think, at any con ever. Also shout outs to Bleach Cafe. The dude bleached a last podcast shirt for me and brought it back the next day.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So dope. Yeah, we love this.

[Eddie Larson]

Everyone was so nice before.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You think that we got paid for any of this? Don't worry. We lost money.

[Eddie Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So this whole thing, literally. But you know what I mean, the

[Eddie Larson]

idea sold merch, but I mean, it didn't do.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We, like, broke even, but that's how we do that. We sold all our merch.

[Eddie Larson]

We also.

[Henry Zebrowski]

The point of Midsummer Scream and our presence of Midsummer Scream is because of how much we love horror movies.

[Eddie Larson]

How much am I getting paid for it?

[Henry Zebrowski]

You got paid. Eddie, in the experience of meeting Everyone done my.

[Eddie Larson]

I got horrible knee problems now. Concrete and Jordan.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Welcome. Dude, that's called Connie, dude.

[Eddie Larson]

I mean, I've never had a more a better advertisement for hocus my whole life. Yeah, dude. I wore hocus on the third day and my knees are fine.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Guess what we're gonna do next year?

[Eddie Larson]

Sell hocus.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

We should have. And we're going to change the setup.

[Eddie Larson]

You can put a kitchen mat underneath me. I'll be so much funnier and nicer. I had such a good time. Thank you everyone again for coming out and meeting us and hanging out at our booth. Only free signatures. It was cool to do that for people.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, we, We. This was a good learning experience. But we. We're gonna have some funny for you next year. I can't wait. Some really special st. But yeah, come and get it. I love you guys. Fuck.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Suck a shit. It's time for our get to our first story here.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, that's a. That's the new.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's the new transition.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, my shit. Come suck my dick.

[Advertiser]

You're great at protecting your data, but lots of places could still expose you to identity theft.

I thought it was safe.

Your agent handles it all. In fact, we're so confident restoration is guaranteed. Pour your money back. Isn't it nice to have someone like that on your side? Save up to 30% your first [e-mail] podcast terms apply.

[Advertiser]

Approved.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, agents, where would we be without you? Somewhere with a lot more tabs open. Create your first Monday agent in [e-mail]. here we go. So this is about a young boy dressed as a clown stabbed an old person to death.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, I mean that. What could be more of a last podcast story than a teenager going dressed in a clown outfit? Big baggy clown outfit. It was black, it was red.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This is my thing.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Now figure dresses in a baggie black. I don't like the black and red clown outfit. I'm going to go ahead and call that Harlequin.

[Eddie Larson]

Okay.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Not a clown.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Because like black and red, like, that's my thing, is that I've never seen

[Eddie Larson]

a clown wear black.

[Henry Zebrowski]

When you do, when you say the term clown, dress as a clown, I assume. Like more John Wayne Gacy style. More like circus clown. Like, this is very ICP coded. So in a way, because he's wearing

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, yeah. He went.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This is a we.

[Eddie Larson]

There's ring footage of him. He went to another lady's house and he rang it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He rang looking to murder.

[Eddie Larson]

More looking to kill her. And then she didn't answer the door. Good on her, because she would have gotten killed.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, right.

[Henry Zebrowski]

If ICP shows up at your door and they need a phone because they're fucking Malenko trying to truck broke down. You can let him in because I don't think that they're gonna do bad to you.

[Eddie Larson]

I don't think. What's it. ICP people are good people.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

I mean, they're dirty and they're, you know, they're gross.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Again, this is not Juggalos. I'm saying that if Violet J or Shaggy 2 Dope arrive, if it's the either one of them, Emma, you can invite them into your home.

[Eddie Larson]

Into the foyer.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes.

[Eddie Larson]

There's always that room where you don't want them in. I'm not letting them in the bedroom. Use the personal toilet.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Bathroom.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Ego, you want some waters?

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's how I would treat violent Jay or Shaggy tuned up. I'll be like, you just stay right here. I'll get you. You need a phone call. Great. Absolutely. Let me call AAA for you. Oh, he does. It's hard for you to come. They don't have a hook up.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

For your evil circus fan.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Exactly.

[Eddie Larson]

I got one in my house.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yep. It is. It is right where the living room is. Right where the living room is. To be like violent. J, love your energy, man.

[Eddie Larson]

So this.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Leave the dogs alone.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

They're being classy.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Yes. But he went to the. When he went to the ring door, not the person he killed, he goes, I have a gift for you. And then they didn't answer that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Eddie Larson]

What he did.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's my problem with this. It's like in the end, really, is that it's unoriginal. Yeah. Like, I feel like he could have done this in many ways. I don't like that he. You know what it is when I see an evil clown costume on you and you're murdering people. It feels like when they make the Annabelle doll too creepy on purpose. Yeah. Like, no, it's creepier if it's just a rag doll. Dude, this guy doesn't understand. If you just wore regular regulation clown outfit. That's way scarier. Yeah. Like, this is the. I don't buy him. I don't think he really wants to be in the evil circus. Well, I don't think he wants to join the Mayhem carnival.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I know, but you could do that.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I like him.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I'm stupid. I'm going to freak out. All right, tmz, you're already bad. Yeah, you're already bad. You're one of the best sources of news, sadly, in the country. But this is fucking bad. Dude, you got to stop with the first time.

[Eddie Larson]

I seen that on their page. And it sucks. And it looks Stupid.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And you think that's AI?

[Eddie Larson]

Of course it's AI.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Look how short her arm is. And then they gave her a big bicep for some reason.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

And it's a big one.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, It's a big old honker. Big old twinkie doodle.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. It holds a bunch of potatoes. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Come and take a look at my big old Frank.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's a Frankenfooder.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a wide set. What are those big hot dogs called? Knotwurst.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

She got a Knotworth down there.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

You know what I'm saying? That's a big Jewish hot dog. Knotworth are delicious. I love Knotworth. I had no problems. I got bratwurst, I got kn. I got both.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So anyway, this man named Leon Gill Gillespie. I love that his name is Leon Gillespie.

[Eddie Larson]

It's a good one.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Now, he was standing on top of this hospital.

[Eddie Larson]

So he stayed across from the hospital.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Was it across from the hospital? Yes.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, it's pretty great. So he sat there. It's like. It seemed to be. He was across from the hospital for an hour. He was up there, he had a scythe. He was waving it back and forth and pointing at people. Now, when they came to arrest him, because they called and they arrested him. This is in uk, by the way. They came and they arrested him and they. He said, oh, no. Grim Reaper. They're like, what do you mean? You're not a grim reaper? And he said, he's like, no, I'm a crow.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, he want. He said he was a blackbird or a crow. No, he wasn't.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He had a scythe.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. You know, you're clearly the Grim Reaper. Staring at a hospital, just being funny about it. About it. Just be. You know, don't sit there. Now you're saying you're guilty.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, exactly. If I was before, you're just.

[Eddie Larson]

You had legs to stand on before. Now you're being like, oh, I'm an. And I'm trying to get away with it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

You should have just owned it and been like, what, you're gonna stop me from dressing like the Grim Reaper and staring at the hospital?

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

This is a phenomenal story.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Has to become the Grim Reaper copyright move. Done. He's then the Green Ripper and then his job is to kind of do it his own way. And he's like, oh, you know, and maybe this is what happened with Mitch McConnell. Is that the fact that the Grim Reaper visited him but like didn't died

[Eddie Larson]

on the way to see him at the hospital? Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And that was a problem. It put him.

[Eddie Larson]

Put Mitch fell off the parking garage across the street from the hospital.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. And now Mitch McConnell's hovering between. Because there no one's there to fill the paperwork because they just said sent his brain stem home. Do you see that? They just sent him home. Oh, yeah, they discharged him.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, well, quote unquote discharged him. Discharge is also what's coming out of him at all times.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Not a video of him leaving the hospital. Video of him seeing. Sitting in a wheelchair waving, saying, I'm fine, can't wait to get back to work.

[Eddie Larson]

It's an urn. It brought the urn to the house. Yes, yes. And the urn's going to be voting and it's. And it's going to be very nice. And like, just.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, no problem.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But the Leo Gillespie, he went and he gave these people a thrill because I think it would be so fun to see the Grim Reaper before because then it really, like, affirms. I don't want to see a tunnel of light.

[Eddie Larson]

You rather see the Grim Reaper than light, of course. Well, I think light makes sense because it's just your brain dying.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Your brain shut down. Well, you get an infl to me. Your brain floods with like DMT and a adrenaline and all that kind of stuff that allows you to hallucinate, you know, as you die, so that it kind of comforts you, I believe.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I also feel that you said there was nothing. Your dad,

[Eddie Larson]

you don't think there's any light or Grim Reaper waiting for him. And that's why there was just no one there to collect him. They were like. And they were like, you have to go back to Earth because we're just like, no one cares to collect you.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I just think that what you're trying

[Eddie Larson]

to say about my father.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And I think that we're super busy right now. And honestly, we'll get back to you. I feel like it's one of those. When your dad died, you know, when you cover up the. You call and they're like, you can put your phone number in and we'll call you back in 16 minutes. I think that's what they did to your dad.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I don't need the nurse making jokes about it. Wild night last night.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

God, he was so happy to tell you.

[Eddie Larson]

He really was. He was a staunch atheist forever.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, yeah. And he was just like, guess what? The best part. Total blackness. Ready for it.

[Eddie Larson]

That's all I want.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Is that how your dad talked?

[Eddie Larson]

No, he was. It was. He was more. He had a voice like mine. Actually.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Actually, you can't. Didn't you do an impression of your father?

[Eddie Larson]

Not really. Yeah, I can't. It wasn't like this year.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, Eddie.

[Eddie Larson]

Why are you Eddie? That's more of my mom.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, I remember your mom.

[Eddie Larson]

Hey, Eddie. Hey, it's me, Eddie.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I'm in heaven.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, that was the most. An east coast woman from the 80s. And they had their children. No. And we still love them anyway, for

[Henry Zebrowski]

some reason, the key about coast mother is that she has to hit you. And then in the crying of her apologizing for hitting you has to actually be worse than her hitting you. Okay? That's the rule. The rule is the apology has to be more unpleasant than the abuse.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. You just have to get big enough that when they hit you, you just laugh at them. Yeah, that really, that. Honestly, that was my biggest weapon, is when my mom would hit me and just be like, mom didn't hurt lady.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Really?

[Henry Zebrowski]

She's real strong. Yeah, she's got strong little hands.

[Eddie Larson]

My mom's 54 and I was a beast back then.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, you were all good. You were all jacked.

[Eddie Larson]

I was all jacked up. I kind of like getting hit. Of Course, yeah, I was. That was the time of my life. And I was just like, let's go, lady, let's see what you got.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So you just like would tackle your mother.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Plow through her.

[Eddie Larson]

Exactly. She was actually defending herself.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Wow. Cool.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Wow.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, wow. Let's isolate this. So let's talk about real quick. Quick, this again. Leon Gillespie. He was arrested, given a 200 pound fine and let go. Doesn't matter. No one cares. It's over. These people are going to be dead soon.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Who cares? You know, I don't know. I think it's a funny joke.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I think it's funny. I understand. I know if someone was doing it.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Right. That's different.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Just like crossing names off.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That would be the.

[Eddie Larson]

I'd be like, ah, try to take me.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Like, that would be so funny.

[Eddie Larson]

Looking for a James Thompson.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, like that.

[Eddie Larson]

James Thompson. Looking for James Thompson.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So I. Yeah, that's funny to me. Also send a strip or two through.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, I mean, they do that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

They do. They do that.

[Eddie Larson]

Well, I don't think the hospital does, but people send strippers to the hospital. I know that happens.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Let me see.

[Eddie Larson]

You could. I mean, they do it. Don't worry about it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

No. Real life. Yeah. No. Host Spice is your thing.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's different. That's my thing.

[Eddie Larson]

That's your thing.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

For people dying people are.

[Eddie Larson]

Are hireable.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, why not?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. Dude, stroke that dick, bro. Buddy, been working. If you got cancer riddled your body, your dick still works. God bless.

[Eddie Larson]

I'm looking through our stories. They're all kind of like today there is one. I feel like that's a precautionary tale that we should tell people about the North Carolina couple.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This is super. This is a lesson.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That I want to. This is actually kind of almost a series.

[Eddie Larson]

Serious lesson. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So two people in Burke county, they're facing first degree murder charges.

[Eddie Larson]

All right.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So they shot two people. So Dalton Berry and what seems to be his partner. The. The suspects are Jamar Props. Tasha Lewis. Yeah. Right. So the murder victims are Carla and Raheem Murray. They were in the Morganton Hemps. They both work in Morganton Hemp.

[Eddie Larson]

Hemp. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Right. Some. Some really gross weed store out there. And they.

[Eddie Larson]

North Carolina's trying.

[Henry Zebrowski]

They are trying. And so these guys were. The Murrays were happily talking about a large inheritance that they were going to receive.

[Eddie Larson]

$75,000.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

To their.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

app on their phone.

[Henry Zebrowski]

On their phone. And sent 19 grand to themselves from the cash app.

[Eddie Larson]

It's just so easy to get caught.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, it's because not everybody is a master criminal. And in this story, it seems that the desperation took over and they don't quite quite wrap their heads around the idea of evidence or investigate the fact that they're even going to investigate it or the fact that when you create a type of absolutely deadlock trail, like a full on opening of your own phone inside the murder location with the app directly with your name on it and your bank information attached to it like it's a whole thing. So it is super easy. They then buried the bodies. It's just, it's just the, the lesson here is if you're coming into money and you're let's.

[Eddie Larson]

I mean, not to be an. If you're in up like A poor neighborhood specifically.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Truly, if you're in a poor neighborhood because like that's what's hard is that. But I'll say across the board, you never know, people will come after you. The idea, if you say the words I got free money coming, you're going to get the attention to somebody that is not going to have your best intentions in mind.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh yes, you will get no.

[Eddie Larson]

1.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This is my pro tip. If you're coming into money, if you got an inheritance, if you win the lottery, if you invent something that you maybe there's not a direct trail to you. If you make a nice app that makes a fuck ton of money somewhere, like kind of one of those things that comes in especially like lottery inheritance.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Say nothing.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, just keep living your life comfortably,

[Henry Zebrowski]

get some money, just get a little night, just upgrade your car, Change nothing, change nothing. Except for yet the little tangible things. Unless you make that big old fuck you, fuck you money and then you just leave.

[Eddie Larson]

Wherever you're from, disappear. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Never don't tell anybody that you got that money ever make. And cuz also here's the line, you, money is not till 10 million.

[Eddie Larson]

Remember that you money, 1 million means nothing.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It means nothing. 10 million, you can put half in the bank and that will make you go for the rest of your life. Right? That's where 10 mil. 10 million is the number. If you got less than 10 million, don't kill everybody yet.

[Eddie Larson]

Yes, that's the problem.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

For Eddie to kill somebody? I mean nothing. I, I would never do it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Wow.

[Eddie Larson]

I would never, I would never. I mean I would kill. I mean it would have to be a crime of passion. Well yeah, I wouldn't do it for money.

[Henry Zebrowski]

For money.

[Eddie Larson]

I would never do it for money.

[Henry Zebrowski]

My passion for money would be the reason why.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, billion dollars is unrealistic.

[Eddie Larson]

Exactly.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And like, and then 100 million, I, I'd probably kill, kill somebody for them.

[Eddie Larson]

See, I don't care.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Get a kill dozer for 40, 50 grand. Probably.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

You want to buy a kill dose?

[Henry Zebrowski]

I'm gonna need to get somebody work on it.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And I'm gonna get a killdozer guy. You need somebody can get all the parts you didn't got, you know, Union Welcome.

[Eddie Larson]

Older 250 I'm thinking now. 250 grand. A real proper kill dozer.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay. Side stories LPOTL gmail.com if I can get the 250 grand, can we build this together?

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. LPN themed.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I just want to take it over. I want to take over a small town.

[Eddie Larson]

It's the world's biggest battlebot.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's it.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But don't do it cuz you're going to get shot in the face.

[Eddie Larson]

All right, so who are we looking at here?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Perez Hilton. We could talk about slightly. It's a up story.

[Eddie Larson]

Lot to say about this man. It's just like you live this life and then it ends bad. I mean like and like I don't know what to do about this. For those of you, I don't like the man but this is awful for

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

picture of her vagina when she was 17.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, he's, he was one of those original, original trolls. And I got a lot of people, there's a lot of people, they, you know, it's a controversial whole story because Perez Hilton I guess last week went live and in Tik Tok on Tik Tok and he straight up did a Buffalo Bill style. He was, I saw the stills from it. I was like trying to find the video of it. I couldn't find it. But he was covered in blood completely Naked, you could see his penis.

[Eddie Larson]

He was cutting himself.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He was cutting himself a bunch. And he basically threatened to commit suicide. Now I believe he is hospitalized. I think they're, they.

[Eddie Larson]

Baker acted him in Florida. Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Just so his real name's Mario. Yeah, which makes sense. But he, he got this. The thing about him is that like I am, I'm one of those. I get it. I'm full troll, right? I'm, I'm with you. I'm, I'm one of those where it's like, I, I, I understand.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. But you're not selling pictures of miners vaginas.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, because I'm a fucking criminal. But I'm, I am a guy that understands that a part of my existence. Existence is going to make 30% of the people who listen to me angry.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Right. And I like that. That's what I live for.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. But he doesn't tell jokes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, yes, it was. We were really. Because it was.

[Eddie Larson]

We didn't see the repercussions yet.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, we didn't understand. But now it feels like people are still making fuck ton of money being extremely mean, extremely unfair and exploitive. And so you think the press. Hilton would be doing really well in this time period, but it seems that he's not. And I think that that shows that if you live an essentially morally bankrupt life, eventually it all comes around.

[Eddie Larson]

It's interesting because it was like him and TMZ were like head in head. They were both just as popular as each other.

[Henry Zebrowski]

At least I thought they were, sort. Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

They are monsters. Please do not misconstrue our.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Our.

[Eddie Larson]

The way we talk about them as being nice about them. No, they just.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Do they just get the story.

[Eddie Larson]

They're the first person with the story.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

And then. And then technically, Perez, he tried to apologize. I guess earlier this year, he was trying to apologize. I guess that was the big deal, is that that's why he's. Now he's doing this. But I think this problem is no

[Eddie Larson]

one wanted to hear it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

You don't have.

[Eddie Larson]

I still don't. That mean I got to like you.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, it's like you can change your mind. Yeah. And you can try to change, but

[Eddie Larson]

you still did it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

I think the. The real villain here is Tick tock tock.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, that's just leaving the.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Dude, we already.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

We already. Those point, dude, straight up, we're past the point if we're thinking that we're going to get any form of accountability. Like, we're not getting any accountability on the corporate side for another, like, five years. So just. We got to get rid of even. Just that idea. Like, if you look at chat GPT, what open AI is doing all of these things. We're like, there we are. We are outside of the accountability era right now. So we just need to get. We just need to survive this next five years. Of what's the over the unchecked social media rampaging.

[Eddie Larson]

Yes. Because there are. I mean like there's. Seriously. We have an article we didn't even bring up today because it was so thick with chat. GBT influencing a mass shooter.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well that mass shooter dude just constantly begged all he did. We read a very interesting article. Article from. I forgot which publication this was from. It was from Mother Jones about the mass shooter at Florida State Phoenix Ickner. And you could see this person was openly talking about suicide. Call themselves an incel. Was constantly talking about the other mass shooters. What they did. What would the effect of him doing a mass shooting at FSU would be like.

[Eddie Larson]

Like.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Right. And the thing is about OpenAI is that it is it send all these messages being like call 998. Like all this horseshit but it still never just called the police.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Or even asking about it. As someone who googles horrible shit all the time time. Check me on it too. I would love to tell you I'm just working.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But also they do. You know, we don't talk. We not talking to the fake thing in a box chat.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes. It's. We're not. It's all fake. Large language models are fake.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

They are fake. There's nothing. There is a no ghost in the shell. It's like the opposite. There's nothing in there. So you're just letting it revert. Like say the same things back to you over and over again. And just because you're training it to be your friend. Yes. So. And they are. Because open AI is rushing towards this IPO opening. It's trying to get all this done because they even had meetings in the Mother Jones article. It talks about how they had already flagged him. They had meetings about this dude. They just didn't do anything. Because that would mean they would have

[Eddie Larson]

to do something all the time.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

For people.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

But I'm still. I'm never going to like him.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It doesn't matter. You got to. He's got a lot like him.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, bro.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Helton's got to go away, and he needs to find a thing for himself.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Good luck.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. I mean, well, yeah, exactly. So does a tree fall in the. For if a tree falls in the forest, do we hear it? Exactly. Who knows how these people look at Rachel. Do all. Who's now becoming. Who's now Nikhi Diallo, because now she just became a sex coach. We're going to talk about this next week.

[Eddie Larson]

All right, Go ahead.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We're talking about it next week.

[Eddie Larson]

Next week.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Rachel Dolezal. You know how much you love Rachel.

[Eddie Larson]

I know you love Rachel.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, I'm sorry. Her name. Dial.

[Eddie Larson]

Catchy.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. Yeah. She's Africa. Hey, I've got the campaign brief ready. Built from last quarter's data and the competitive landscape approved. Oh, agents, where would we be without you? Somewhere with a lot more tabs open. Create your first Monday agent [e-mail].

[Eddie Larson]

oh, but here's what I. Here's what I want to talk about. This is an old story that I've never heard about, and I don't know how true it is, but I love it. And it's unbelievable. Between 2000, 2002 and 2012, I. This comes off of. I literally got this off of Instagram, so I hope it's not fake. Six people were killed in the Philippines. Video key bars over renditions of Frank Sinatra's My Way. All right. It was. So basically what would happen is it's. They're so intense with their karaoke over there that with people would sing My way off. Key People would shoot them and kill them.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, you know what it seems. Seems like it's kind of funny because it is real. The My Way killings are considered real. There are social phenomena in the Philippines and it seems that it's not. Nobody's saying that it's My Way specifically. It seems to have happened with My Way specifically because of the nature of the song.

[Eddie Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

The song is a selfish machismo. Machismo. Standing up to the world. I'll always be haunted by My Way because I always.

[Eddie Larson]

You love it song.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

The thing My Way is. It's continued to satanic anthem. Oh. But my problem with that song is that I'm always. I'm haunted always by the. The. I'll always remember 2016 in the election when Trump and Melania were doing the fir. Their first dance was to My Way.

[Eddie Larson]

Oh.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And they. But this is a. This is very interesting because it is true, it seems, because number one, My Way is a big old, like, I did it My way. So it's like, it's really obnoxious. It is a. It's a crowd clearer.

[Eddie Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

If you do it wrong.

[Eddie Larson]

But a security guard shot someone named Romy Bula back in 2, 2007 for singing it off key. That was the most famous one. But, yeah, apparently it's because people sang it off key. And then now you can't even find it in most karaoke bars in the Philippines because so many people got killed singing My Way, they've been pulling it out.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This is really interesting. This is like. There's a whole article on this that I'm looking at this right here. Have to, like, do something like follow up on this, like, proper little breakdown. This is really funny. There's a whole series of karaoke rage murders. It's crazy.

[Eddie Larson]

Really?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes. In August 2007.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I love. I do love it.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

That's pretty great, dude. How about the guy in Thailand who shot eight people to death, including his own brother in law? In a dispute stemming from several karaoke offerings, including someone repeatedly singing John Denver's Take Me Home Country

[Henry Zebrowski]

Road to the place.

[Eddie Larson]

I. I love that song. But six times in a row.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Take me home country road. Take me home country road took place. Mountain mama. Take me home country road. Take me home country Road.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I'm always really care. The one time, every time I go

[Eddie Larson]

to karaoke, there's like four people there who fucking really, really care.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, I'm one.

[Eddie Larson]

No, you're not.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, I don't get upset.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm not, I'm not. Not. I have a life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I like to do other things in my life. I just really love karaoke. And when I do it, I do it. But I will say, how many times

[Eddie Larson]

is one person allowed to do karaoke in a night?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Three times.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

You're incredible. And people are begging for it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No one is.

[Eddie Larson]

No one is.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

I will say Henry is amazing at doing natural woman.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I went in there and I was like, what?

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I went to go sing heaven let your light shine down by collecting collective soul.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Cuz it's their part.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

You're.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Why aren't you singing your.

[Eddie Larson]

Well, you know,

[Henry Zebrowski]

you're Earl. Nothing not to be.

[Eddie Larson]

You know, we're gonna silence. We're going to a fight.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Really?

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Now you know how collective soul feels.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, wow.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Kid was like, my helmet doesn't fit right. Helmet is supposed to Be so tight.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Let me tell you. Put it on. You put a gun.

[Eddie Larson]

That's the way it works.

[Henry Zebrowski]

God fucking damn it, son.

[Eddie Larson]

Foot snake.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

The snake was two fifths as long as his body.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Well, your new name is Snakehead.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes. Guess what, Snakehead, you're about to do.

[Eddie Larson]

Fuck it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You're about to do 50 push ups, okay? And I'm gonna put a snake on your back, all right? I'm sick and tired. You're gonna eat the snake in front of me. We're gonna take this snake out. You're gonna smoke the entire snake right in front of me. And your mother gonna get it out. Now you smoke the whole thing and you be sick.

[Eddie Larson]

God damn it, Snakehead.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Damn it, Snakehead, I just. Snakehead, why are you. Get out of the gully. God damn it, Snakehead. If you weren't 6 foot 4, I'd beat you to death myself.

[Eddie Larson]

All right?

[Henry Zebrowski]

But I need you. I need you. The big old house is gonna take us on the way to. You're gonna take us over with a title. We're gonna take us to the title, right? I don't care for Snakehead, man.

[Eddie Larson]

There was this big old kid we used to play with. We used to call him Dump Truck. And he was so st. Yeah. And then one day he.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

Definitely.

[Eddie Larson]

And then he came back and it said Dunk Truck. Cuz he had a lisp.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But he told the barber.

[Eddie Larson]

So the barber didn't know he said Dump Truck. He thought I said Dunk Truck.

[Eddie Larson]

[Henry Zebrowski]

It is extremely well made. You're a very talented person.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

You know, it's just. That's very gurney coded. Yeah, yeah, it's very now, cuz Kelly sends me lots of videos now, which I love, because, you know, we'll go back and forth on Instagram, but she sends me. The new thing has been emo covers of Phantom of the Opera songs.

[Eddie Larson]

Okay.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's like a whole thing. Oh, no. Now I just know they're horrific. I just send them to Natalie to annoy her. Her? Yes, because we're both Phantom people.

[Eddie Larson]

Is she an emo person? N. No. Does she not like.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, I do it just to annoy her.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Cuz we just.

[Henry Zebrowski]

[Eddie Larson]

Oh, that was.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That was falling into you from Pennsylvania. He sent it in. Do you guys want a different one? I got a different one. No. Okay, we'll save it for next. He did great work.

[Eddie Larson]

He did great work. He nailed the genre.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's exactly how.

[Eddie Larson]

The genre.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's exactly how that should sound.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

You know what we need? You know what we need in response to that one? I want a collective soul slash.

[Eddie Larson]

[Henry Zebrowski]

Alice in Chains version. Oh, yes. That's what I want. Butt rock. Yeah, I want a butt rock version. I read that. I saw some clip on the Instagram. Some. Some podcast was talking about the idea of their favorite butt rock. Guys.

[Eddie Larson]

Listener, male.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You know what butt rock is? Butt rock, butt rock stuff like Creed is good. Butt rock. Things that sound like. Things that sound like that, like, was like on that. Puddle of mud again. That was filter though, I think. Filters, like for me to hold fire and away.

[Eddie Larson]

Puddle of mud. They were formed by stained, right?

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

I know. Wow.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

I don't think you did. You know, rock, black keys, that kind of stuff. Rock.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's better. You know, they. They call it post grunge. Post grunge.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

All right, here we go. So this is guys who weren't.

[Eddie Larson]

Didn't have the balls to do heroin.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, we know we're not going to get any of the return shows because of heroin.

[Eddie Larson]

Oh my God. Henry and I were lamenting the other day how much we would immediately go to like a stadium tour that was Nirvana and Sound Garden. I would be unbearable trying to get tickets to that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You got me there, dude. I would get so drunk and I would be such a problem in that show, man. That Nirvana Sound Garden show, that's so. I'm so mad. I can't have that. I would just be like. Yeah, you know, like that style. Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

Somehow Axel Rose lived.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, cuz you cut his hair.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

They're great. In my early mid-20s, my then boyfriend and I moved into an older apartment just outside of Baston. The building was from the 1800s and was not kept up super well, so it was pretty cheap even for the time. We paid 1,200 bucks a month for this two bedroom apartment with a dining room, a sun porch, plus two additional rooms in the attic that could use bu could use for storage. The attic rooms were creepy at best.

[Eddie Larson]

My house that I grew up in had a daughter porch

[Henry Zebrowski]

cuz they could free bleed up so nice. You don't want them bleeding in the house. Get outside, get outside, get outside. What's this red puddle? You bleed outside.

[Eddie Larson]

Bleed it outside.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Get outside, you bleeding woman.

[Eddie Larson]

So the dogs could have it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Come on now, let the dog lip at it.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. And linoleum tiles. That doesn't make sense. Liam is just like a piece of like. Like linoleum is just like.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, linoleum tile. Yeah, there's tile. You can make a tile. Love linoleum.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

I.

[Eddie Larson]

You roll. You.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You can't possibly care less. I don't care. I don't know.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

but it's rolled up.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You can't roll up a tile. I have one. This PD don't know, Eddie. They don't know. The writer doesn't know. We don't know.

[Eddie Larson]

Side stories LPOTL gmail.com a few months

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

House. Okay.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We were watching movie on the couch, and about an hour or two later, I noticed the bathroom light was on. I immediately called my boyfriend out for this, but we both pretty quickly realized that neither one of us had moved from the couch since we had turned off the light. Neither of us really believed that there was anything paranormal going on, but we started playfully refer to the ghost. Anytime anything weird happened, other little things started happening. My boyfriend would always leave his cell phone on the nightstand stand overnight. Like I said, the apartment was old and the floors were very slanted in some areas. His phone started slipping forward off the nightstand and would wake us up occasionally with a thud in the middle of the night. To prevent this, he started putting his water bottle in front of the phone so that it couldn't slide forward off the nightstand. First night he did this, the phone started sliding sideways off the nightstand instead. Could the floors be slanted in both directions? For sure, we brushed it off. Once in the middle of the night, my boyfriend woke me up when he was coming back into the bedroom after getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you had to walk a long way by the time you go back to the bedroom. Right. I've been one of these where it's like I walk across the house to go to the bathroom and come back.

[Eddie Larson]

It's annoying.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Josh.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We didn't really discuss it and I guess both of us just kind of chalked it up to him hearing things until a couple months later when I got up in the middle of the night to the use of bathroom. I was walking through the living room. I heard my boyfriend's voice say my nickname Mo and very clear and loud voice. It sounded like he was right next to me. So he jumped and I called back immediately. When I didn't hear anything, I went to the bathroom and then crawled back into bed. He was fast asleep, deep breathing. He was an extremely light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest sounds. When I asked him when whether or not he had said my name, he was confused and he said he definitely hadn't. I was spooked after that. The only real thing that I experienced during this time period was vicious nightmares. Almost every night I would wake up in a cold sweat after dying in my my dreams. I would die in different ways nearly every time. But it was always be doing to getting injured in the same spot in my mid low back along my spine.

[Eddie Larson]

You're not sleeping right?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. I got to get a new.

[Eddie Larson]

Put that pillow between your legs. That's what I do.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Some dreams I would get shot in the back and die. And others I would be stabbed. I remember a couple of dreams where my back was shredded by birds clawing at me. Others involved a. A taser to the back. You get the idea.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I do feel like there is a sense of familiarity between partners. That is a little bit of it. And then I wonder whether or not. But I've had a couple of those sometimes and I don't tell Natalie cuz she freaks her out.

[Eddie Larson]

Yeah. Well also I always feel like if I think there's a ghost around me, I won't talk about it cuz I don't want to give the ghost satisfaction.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I don't want to give you satisfaction. I don't want you to know that. Do you think when you talk about them like it makes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess you knowledge about it.

[Eddie Larson]

You acknowledge it. You know, just let it live in my soup of nightmares that is my head.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh absolutely.

[Eddie Larson]

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

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Oh Marine.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Do you know that?

[Eddie Larson]

Oh not Melissa or Mosa. Moesha.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It could be for Moesha.

[Eddie Larson]

It's probably Moesha.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh well hopefully we'll find out. I try to keep it anonymous but we'll find out. Out Moesha. We will find out. Well, you got to live every day knowing for a fact that sometimes a ghost is going to be in your house knocking your cell phone off and you're going to love the fact that he's knocking your cell phone off the counter because honestly, don't plug your phone in in your bedroom.

[Eddie Larson]

Okay.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Cuz then you will laugh at how much your sleep will increase without the pressure of the world staring at you while you sleep from your phone.

[Eddie Larson]

You can put it across the the room.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I always. I leave you downstairs.

[Eddie Larson]

Downstairs.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Eddie Larson]

Wow, that's far.

[Henry Zebrowski]

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

[Eddie Larson]

Honestly, if they're dead, who cares?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. You know, if there's nothing I can't do right now, a full night of

[Eddie Larson]

sleep will make me a better person responding to that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I just don't. Do people still do that? Side stories lpodl gmail.com. i don't. I have not had my phone on ring in a decade. Oh. Oh no.

[Eddie Larson]
