[43:20 – 54:58]

[B]

Hello, everybody. Welcome to episode of True Crime. Time for Wednesday, December 3, 2025. And I'm Woody Overton.

[C]

I'm Cindy Overton.

[B]

Back at it. Boom. Right in your face. Here comes all the stuff. Some you heard something you hadn't. Some of you wish you hadn't.

[C]

You need to come up with a rap.

[B]

All right. A little chilly up in the studio this morning. Just a little. It's in the 30s outside. Only going to be in the 40s today, y'. All for South Louisian. Sound of that. Something, right? Yeah. A little windy to hunt and we had to record anyway, so there's that. Gonna be talking to Ms. Barbara this week, y'. All. Again, they miserably failed and their supposed reinvestigation and are saying they can't try Brooks Cleary for murder because they tried him for moving a corpse in a crock of. But I'm a. We have the recording and I don't know how it's going to work out. We're going to play at it and then interview Ms. Barbara or Vice versa. But prayers for her and you know, prayers for Haley. At least she knows y' all love her. Hashtag just for Bradley. Hashtag just for a Couple things real quick. Look, the. Any infighting y' all got going on on these groups and. And stuff like that, leave me out of it. There. There's a reason I don't go and comment in the groups. I love the group. I think it's awesome. I think it's, you know, keeping the fuel on the fire. I know from many different people, including people who have been interviewed, that. That Detective Vance and them are supposedly. I don't know how the. You know, unless they come with different eyes and take the goggles off that they're. They are re interviewing people and stuff. And that's great, right? We don't care who solves it. But. But anyway, I'm not going to go too much into that. But the. Look, don't. Don't just leave me out of it. You don't have to say, send me messages about this person said that and this person said that about me, because I don't care. I'm going to do exactly what I do. And I'm not going to tell you what this person told me or that person what you told me. And it just doesn't work like that. It's like high school shit. But keep up the good. The good fight. Keep up the pressure. But let me throw this out there to you. So very important. Everybody, you know, loves to be involved and in doing stuff. That's great. But guess what? You cannot forget we're dealing with murderers, people. Murderers. All right? And that tech advance, according to one person he re. Interviewed, said that. That I lied about Austin Abanion, you know, on the podcast, and that she didn't have all those injuries. She had one scrape on her knee and nothing else. Get the out of here. Okay. I told you exactly what I saw in the photographs. Evidently, he hasn't seen the photographs I've seen. And I read you what was in the autopsy report, so. I did not lie about that. Fuck you, David Vance, for saying that. If you said that I wasn't there, don't have any direct knowledge, but one of your suspects stated that you said that. But you say whatever you need to. Just go do your job, right? And look, we've had it seven months now. They've had it seven years. And get justice. That's all we care about, period.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And so continue to call on your tips. Look, y', all, it stop. It doesn't stop. It's all day. This morning I had probably 20 screenshots of messages between people. Two different sets of people sent me screenshots about people that are Talking to their suspects. Investigation. You know what? Those might be murderers that you're talking to. Be careful. I shouldn't have to tell you all that. You're grown people, but this is not tv, okay? Real people, Austin Bradley, have been murdered. Probably a hell of a lot of others. But the real people have been murdered. There are murderers. They do not want to go to Angola. They don't want to go to the woman's prison. They don't want to be caught. And before the podcast, other than what Morgan was doing on TikTok, nobody was looking at it. They got to enjoy all these holiday seasons the past seven years and do their dope and do whatever it is that they do. All right, so you're dealing with murderers. Murderers, not TikTok. I don't have to say smurder. Murderers, okay? Remember that and do whatever you want to do because you're grown adults. And again, I shouldn't have to say this, but remember, first of all, well, you know, it doesn't matter. You keeping up the pressure on the bad people, and that's great, but you're dealing with murders and take that for what it's worth, all right? And. And meanwhile, Woody Everton is doing what Woody Overton does. But that being said, let's get down some true crime time for this Wednesday.

[C]

Okie dokie.

[B]

It's time for family matters.

[C]

I've never heard of Angie, Louisiana.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

In Washington Parish.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay, so that's where we're going. And the Washington Parish Sheriff's office.

[B]

There's not a whole lot in Washington Parish. That's where the anhydrous ammonia plant blew up.

[C]

Oh, all right. Well, their sheriff's office has arrested a man accused of attempting to buy a 10 month old child. According to the sheriff's office, it's in special investigations unit and the Angie Police Department.

[B]

Stop. Washington Parish has like. Yeah, I'm not knocking it. I even got to hunt there one time with a client of mine. And you know, it's got like. I think Bogalusa would be. Be the biggest one the. The paper mill and it's just small. So they got the fact that they have a special investigation unit and Vernon Perry Sheriff's office as Fort Polk and everything else doesn't. But that's good for them. I'm glad we got good. Good people. Good people. Rural. Rural.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

It's. It's above Coveton Slidell, up to the Mississippi line.

[C]

Okay, Right. Okay.

[B]

Well, to the east of Tango, they.

[C]

Opened an investigation on November 26 after learning that a Man named Howell. Gene Penton solicited a woman at the Angie auction house to purchase her infant daughter. Okay, investigation.

[B]

What's an infant going for nowadays?

[C]

I don't know. It doesn't say. But investigators conducted an undercover investigation on November 29, which led to Penton's arrest, and he was taken into custody the same day. But the investigation remains ongoing. And they're actually asking for anyone with any information on the sale of minor children to please call 985-839-3434.

[B]

Wow. That's the. The, you know, shout out to Washington Parish. I've worked with them on several cases. Good people. You know.

[C]

The man is 73 years old, trying to buy a 10 month old child.

[B]

Yeah, that's not good intentions, right?

[C]

Exactly. He wants to be grandpa of the year.

[B]

Right? They have rules for a reason. And the. I'm glad they got his sick ass.

[C]

And the mom hopefully is punished.

[B]

Yeah, that would be true. Wait till y' all hear this one. Please don't make me cry. It is time to blow your mind. It's time for worldwide crime. And I truly did not know where Leah Marie comes up with some of these, but this might be one of the best.

[C]

Do I need to leave the room and then just come back after you.

[B]

Say it the way. I'll tell you this. We. We're going to eat oysters after this.

[C]

I know that's. I'm all dolled up.

[B]

You may not want to eat oysters when we get done. I was all up in your camo. Dressed out in camo and sweat. All right, so we're going to Russia and they got a dude named Dimitri Luchin, and they. Now, Russia has a long storied history of all kinds of stuff. And I always want to go there because whatever the political situation may be notwithstanding that. But the, you know, the way they fought the different wars and the toughness of the people and everything else, but the. If you are listed as Russia's most brutal killer, you had to do some really special shit.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All right. In the world of killers, not special for us, but this Dimitri is considered one of the most terrifying figures to ever come out of Russia. For Russia with love. Jesus. And he's a ruthless murderer who gained notoriety across Russia for his 2018 slaying of his partner with. When. When the. When the details came out, they. I mean, it's not just a regular slaying, obviously, and the details came out, it left this country of Russia in shock. The country, the whole country, fucking country is about to Leave America in shock.

[C]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

He's 23 years old and he's getting on with a 45 year old and named Olga Buddha. Buddha Neva. And he went to her house to celebrate. Russia has one of their international holidays. It's called Women's Day.

[C]

Well, that's.

[B]

So he rolls up to Olga's house and he says, hey, you know what? Let's party. It's International Women's Day. And so they brings a bottle of wine, they sit down, pour little wine with wine. Fine time. And they're drinking and sipping. And then he gets the wine bottle and he's admiring it right before he smashed it over her head multiple times. And he killed her. Gee. And you think that's the worst ever in Russia? Yeah. Well, after he killed her, he decided he maybe want to be an apprentice butcher. And he starts to dismember her body. One limit of time. One finger, one joint, one bone at a time. And he did it with a meat cleaver, y'. All. That's basically a big butcher's knife, what we call it down here in South Louisiana. Well, they said what happened after that, because that's still not bad by our buyer terms. I mean, it's not good. But by true crime, time for standards, we've had this before. So the. The detective said what happened next. Even left the most seasoned detective aghast. Wow. Right. So he is said to have calmly cooked and eaten part of Bonobo's brain. And then, because, I mean, we've had that before, a little bit of that was still bad.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Then he washed down the tasty brain morsels with a glass of blood which he drained from her body. Yeah. Look at this. He's 23 years old. Listen to this. You think you can't get any better, right?

[C]

Somebody's daughter, somebody I know.

[B]

You think. You think can't get any better. He's already beat her to death with a bottle, cuts her up with a meat cleaver. Then he takes slices of her brain, fries them up and eats them and drinks. Drinks it down with her blood that he drains in a wine glass. Then he proceeds to cut out her stomach and pulls it out. He cut off her ears. Listen. No, I forgot. It's not. He cut off her ears and he took one of her ears and placed it in her mouth and the other one, because he. I mean, he's got a share right in his mouth. It's a dinner party. No, no, he's got to share. If. If he's put in his mouth.

[C]

It' Sharon, you said he put it in her mouth.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. But then he took the other ear. There's two ears.

[C]

I know. And said put it. I said, and put it in his mouth.

[B]

No, he took the other ear and he put it in the family's cat dish. Hey, y'. All, I want to take a moment to recommend another podcast called Mind of a Monster, the Killer Nurse. Mind of a Monster is a podcast series from ID that dives into minds of notorious serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and more. This season they explore the chilling story of Kristen Gilbert, a nurse who murders four of her patients between 1989 and 1995 and is suspected of killing dozens more. Criminal psychologist Dr. Michelle Ward takes us inside Kristen's twisted mind, uncovering why she kills and how she manages to do it right in front of her colleagues. The entire season is out now, so you can binge it wherever you get your podcasts. And coming up next, they're covering Israel Keys, a serial killer who picks his victims at random across the US and covers his tracks with terrifying precision. That new season drops early next year. Don't miss it, lifers. I know you love to get inside the mind of evil, just like I do. And the Mind of a Monster podcast series from ID is fire. You are going to love it. Listen to A Mind of a Monster the Killer Nurse wherever you get your podcasts. I'll be honest, I've always had a hard time shutting my brain down the night to get to sleep.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Okay. Then he scrawled obscenities on her body using blood and purple. Purple nail polish. Hennessies out there, Right? So, Neluchin, this our bad guy is suspected to be a devil worshipper and a practitioner of the occult. He then used her blood, because he's an artist now to paint demonic symbols on the door. He attempted to summon Lucifer himself. He's trying to call out the devil. Yeah, like come on and join the party's already there. I didn't fried you some brain. The cat's over in the corner chewing on it on an ear. And she's got an ear in her mouth and everything else. I'm pain for you. Well, despite his demonic intentions, he later told the cops that he tasted the cooked brain portions twice. Because. Why twice?

[C]

The first time it didn't taste good.

[B]

Nope. Because he liked the taste. Right. Prosecutors said that Luchin had developed a fascination with serial killers, and he spent countless hours on eerie websites which centered around murderers. Now they took him to trial, and during the trial, Luchin begins reciting an odd poem from within the metal cage where he was held. Okay. Yeah. They say it's not like in the United States of America. You go on a trial for murder. They bring you out a nice seat and shouldn't to take the cuss off before the jury comes in. They bring this in in a cage? Yeah.

[C]

It's like Hannibal Lecter.

[B]

Exactly. So he, during, right in the middle of trial, he decides to bust out with a poem. And he. He claimed he was no maniac, murderer or cannibal, but rather presented himself as a student, a sportsman and a poet. You can't make this up. Well, the judge, Alexis Stanovsky, cut him off when he started ranting about notorious Soviet serial killer Andrea Chakovti. Luchin was deemed Mentally fit and convicted of murder with special cruelty. Now this part I don't really get. I don't understand. I should say all right, but I don't. It's too cold this morning to around with all that. The he, he gets sentenced and convicted and he convicted of murder with special cruelty. You know what he got?

[C]

I'm gonna say 25 years. Oh, no, not even that much.

[B]

He got 19 year sentence in a strict regime penal colony.

[C]

He's 23.

[B]

Well, you know what I'm. I'm thinking, you know all the, the, the stories and, and stuff you hear about Siberia and that this like. I don't know. I'm not saying he's in Siberia, but I'm guessing it's like that. Penal colonies. But I said penal colonies. It's like when the British used to take all their bad people to Australia and just drop them the off like survive.

[C]

He's gonna die out there.

[B]

Survive, motherfuckers. Survival of the fittest. But Buddha's devastated neighbors. Luching y' all are. I'm not sorry. The victims devastated neighbors expressed that they could never forget the terrifying scenes from the apartment. I'm pretty sure if you walked in the door and the cat's chewing on the ear. The ladies there, her head's cut off, brains are out, brains on the table. She's got an ear in her mouth. Devil's symbols everywhere, writings all over her body. I'm pretty sure you are not going to forget that scene. And one neighbor said it was like something from another world. No human could do what he did. Well, you know what he did it describe a Russell. Describe a Russian penal colony. Serious. Like, what the. I don't know what to even say about that. Yeah, I'm turning the volume up. Let's try it again. Y' all stay because it's a special penal colony. All right. What is a strict regime penal colony in Russia? Penal colonies in Russia are infamous for their harsh living conditions and brutal brutality. Prisoners are placed in barracks rather than individual cells where they're forced to perform daily work. Colonies also have tougher security measures and more restrictions on movement. That's from the famous Al Jazeera. Probably lies. Are Russia penal colonies bad?

[C]

Here's an Answer from la costanadegisol.com well, this one's from.

[B]

Not from Jahira. Penal colonies in Russia. Infant for the same thing. What is the life expectancy of a prisoner in a Russia penal colony?

[C]

I found this on the web.

[B]

I gotta see this, y'. All. The death rates in Russian prisons are 2.3 times down death rates in Russia in general. I don't understand that death rates and da da, da. Most often prison may style contagious disease which kill every four out of 10 prisoners. Every third out of 10 prisoners killed by HIV, cardiovascular, whatever. But their death rates have been declining. There you have.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah. He never have to go hungry. As long as you can get a meat cleaver.

[C]

Jeez, you just gotta take a bite. Be like Mike Tyson.

[B]

Right. It's time for effort of professionals.

[C]

We're going to go to Maryland now. From Russia to Maryland.

[B]

With love. From Russia with love. James Bond.

[C]

I love James Bond. And we're going to talk about it.

[B]

You know that James, the Ian Fleming who wrote James Bond. He. He named the character James Bond after his best friend. Do you know what his best friend did in real life?

[C]

He was a dentist.

[B]

Nope. He's an ornithologist.

[C]

Was an ornithologist.

[B]

Bird watcher. So James Bond. Every time you see James Bond now really know that he's named after a bird watcher.

[C]

Interesting.

[B]

Yep. I am full of useless knowledge. Well, you know, you go ahead and say it, you know I am.

[C]

Well, you are. But sometimes it's useful. Like right now for interrupting my story.

[B]

Yep. Ornithologist.

[C]

We're going to talk about a shaking profession that you have wanted to do, but now you truck driver. Yes.

[B]

I always want to be not a local truck driver. I want to sleep in cab, lock my ass up. Because you do not know this. I am a introvert. You could lock me up, put me on alone. That. That where you drop you off in the wilderness and everybody quits because they're alone. I have to be like, I wish.

[C]

Truck drivers know better than most that a long haul can test your limits. Would you not agree with that? But police officers in Frederick County, Maryland walked into something far beyond operator fatigue when they responded to a welfare check. The call came from a Costco depot in newmarket just after 1:30am on September 24th of 2023. I guess it's like Walmart where you could park your RV in the Walmart parking lot.

[B]

No, but Costco. Listen, so I know that you know, I read a lot about truck drivers.

[C]

No, I know.

[B]

So what they do is even when I work secure briefly on holiday from one of the universities I went to at a overnight. It's like a Costco, but it was for a regional grocery chain. But the warehouse they. They were scheduled to drop off and they would come in and they allow them to park there and sleep until it was their time. Okay, so that's when this is Costco regional thing they're unloading. Shut.

[C]

Okay. Well, a 48 year old new Jersey truck driver, Matthew Sidney Watley, had reportedly been seen yelling at his tractor trailer and tearing apart its interior.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Security staff said he punched his windshield. Windshield. Cut himself and started honking the horn. They also reported that the trailer had disconnected abruptly and been dragged several feet. So when deputies arrived for the welfare check, they found Whatley in the driver's seat and he was speaking incoherently. And of course I can imagine you telling this story. You would be like doing. Get out with your hands up. Don't. What? You know, like show me your hands. Like. So he.

[B]

It's called a felony stop.

[C]

They were refusing. He was refusing commands to shut down the engine.

[B]

I mean, an 18 wheeler is a very dangerous weapon.

[C]

Absolutely. So police threw down sticks and wheel chocks. Okay, I thought you were going to explain what those were.

[B]

Wheel chocks. They put them underneath the wheel so the tires won't run.

[C]

I know, but I usually.

[B]

Okay, that's like. That's not police issued wheel chocks. They would have, they would have been on site. Like when they back up the trailers and shit, they put them on his tires to keep them from rolling. Yeah, because they drive forklifts and shit off and on.

[C]

But doing those two things did very little to halt the truck driver. He attempted to start and stop the truck repeatedly and it obviously put the officers at risk. After using a Halligan tool to punch the tires and showering the driver with pepper spray, deputies finally managed to open the cabin doors.

[B]

Sure he was high on meth, they.

[C]

Pulled Whateley out and got him in handcuffs. And they noted he had what appeared to be blood on his hands, shirt and face. And according to state's attorney office, a press release by the state attorney's office, when deputies simultaneously searched the cab, the they found plastic 46 year old candice Thompson. Oh, she was lying face down on the floor without a pulse. First responders later pronounced Thompson dead by EMS At 3:03am Investigators reported she had multiple stab wounds to her back and medical officials listed preliminary cause of death as blunt and sharp force trauma. The pair were apparently domestic partners and Whatley was transported to Frederick Health Hospital and remained there under medical and mental care while an arrest warrant was issued. Officials stated the couple had a police documented history of domestic violence in New Jersey and he pleaded guilty in Frederick county circuit court on October 21, 2025. Just before Thanksgiving. The judge ordered Watley to serve 40 years in the. He got more than the worst Russian guy. 40 years.

[B]

I'm pretty sure they just don't want to fuck with that Russian dude anymore.

[C]

In the Maryland Division of Corrections, the maximum allowed. Prosecutors said domestic violence deaths are increasingly common and stress the need for early intervention. Thompson's mother addressed the court and described her family as shattered by the loss. And there's actually body cam footage of the incident online if anybody wants to.

[B]

Go look it up. And now I'm going to give you probably the shortest story I've ever done. This one's for Kimmy and of course, from Dallas. Yeah, from Dallas. Kimmy from Dallas. And the. Of course, my mother and my sister and my goddaughter. Oh, yeah, my goddaughter. Hey, Sadie, I know you're not listening, but the. Y', all. That's funny. As. Did I tell that story yet? Oh, my God. So I had all the tribe, my sister's tribe here this weekend, and all of them have played, gone on, on scholarship, except the one that's still at home and she's going on scholarship next year. All of them have gone scholarship, full rides, playing water polo and they played in the US Junior Olympics and all that stuff. Well, the second oldest, Sadie, who's really named Sandra after my mom, that we were here the other night and I was cooking stuff, probably had a few beers and. And I said something to him and she said, well, I am your goddaughter. And I was like, oh, okay. And I went inside, I told my sister, I said, your daughter thinks that I'm her godfather. And she said, you are her godfather. I was like, I must have been high or something when that happened. Anyway, they're all grown out, great people, and they don't live this far from where I'm taking you on the next story. But this kind of piggybacks off the shithead. They killed the National Guard lady in Washington, D.C. the day before Thanksgiving. So we were going to Fort Worth, Kimmy, not Dallas. And an Afghan national who was paroled into the United States under Operation Allies welcome was arrested for threatening to blow up a building in Fort Worth. And this is according to the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. Muhammad Dawood Alakaza was arrested, teased by the Texas Department of Public Safety. That's a state police, y'. All. In the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. And charged for making terroristic threats. Look at this dude. Looks like he had it on his mind, huh? So McLaughlin said that Alaska Zai whatever the you say his name posted a video of himself on Tick Tock indicating he was building a bomb with an intended target of the Fort Worth area.

See mintmobile.com and McLaughlin also said that Alakaza was paroled into the United States under President Joe Biden's Operation Ally Allies welcome program. He's not pro like thinking about crime. That means he just got permission to be in the States and that's it. And he was going let me tick tock and and y' all, I'm sorry I haven't been on tick Tock in like a month probably. That's my bad. I'm gonna start it back up again this week. I've got like 30, 000 followers or something on there and I need to do more videos. I've been busy. But the. The one time and I know y' all have heard me tell a story for the one time. I was going right on the same road we were going to be on today and I rolled up on this car crash just happened. 18 wheeler in the car and run up. I was first shooting video of it from a distance. I could see a little bit of fire. Then I realized there was people in the car and just went in the woody made and ran up. Driver's dead, heads off. Passengers pinned down in the car season. I had my phone in my back pocket, was running and the drug them out the. The car. People like, hey man, wake up. Get out of the car. And my bro, you. This car is about to blow up. Anyway. I drug him out of the car. The car blew up. Whatever. I posted the. The first part of the. The video of the fire and a crash. Tick tock. Think that now. Yeah. This can go on Tick tock and. And build a bomb and say I'm going to blow up this building in Fort Worth. Kimmy and in Fort Worth. And they don't take it down.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, there you go.

[C]

Shows you who's running TikTok.

[B]

I guess so. So that was real short one. But y', all, you know what? You don't hear about the hundreds of cases probably every day that they're actively working on people like this. I can imagine if he actually could have got it done. And what happens, it comes right after the other day.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And another Afghan. Not throwing the shade on Afghan people. Just whatever the. All right, I'm gonna do one more because this. This might just. I don't know, it might make you smile. And I'm putting in this category. It's time for family matters. And it's not so much that it's a effed up professional, but it's the fact that this. You have to have this professionalized effed up. Listen to this. We're going to Queens, New York. Right. And they been having a lot of trouble. I think people we've reported on this of teens going in and just acting.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Now like they were like locking them out. Like if you're a teenager, you can't even come in a fast food restaurant without parent. Right. Well, the. In Queens, New York, they decided to do something about that. Good what do you think they did?

[C]

I mean, I have no idea.

[B]

This is story that it's. It's up that they had to hire.

[C]

This kind of professional, a secure. They had to hire like a, like a tsa, like a metal detector person.

[B]

They hired a bouncer from McDonald's. Bouncer checking IDs, throw you out the door if you act rowdy. What the has the world come to when you have to have a bouncer for McDonald's? But let me tell you about it. So they said wild packs of rowdy teens have created so much havoc at a Queen's McDonald's that they've hired a Mac bouncer to help keep the kids at bay. And it's a female. Claudia Zanabria, a McDonald's crew member who survived stage three rectal cancer. Says she was picked to police the teen terrorists because she's the toughest employee in the restaurant. That's right. That's right. Good for her. The she said this generation is really different. They push me, they disrespect me. And she told this to Washington Post. Well, the eatery, the McDonald's is on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills. And it has instituted a policy barring minors from eating inside the restaurant from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.

[C]

2:00Pm to 4:00pm that's when the cops are off. That's during their CSA.

[B]

Oh, that's right. But was that New York City?

[C]

That was New York.

[B]

I think it was Chicago, but the pretty sure that was New York from 2pm to 4pm unless they are accompanied by an adult.

[C]

That was the reason we're not going to New York.

[B]

They. Well, we're not going to New York for a lot of reasons. And even though your goddaughter. No. Yeah, my goddaughter lives there. I got two nieces that live there and, and the youngest one, Cam, is on her way. Congrats on your full scholarship to D1 school water polo. All right, so the. I, I don't know what adult besides us doesn't have to work from 2 to 4pm A regular job.

[C]

I know, right? It's very rare.

[B]

So anyway, they said cops have been called to the restaurant 15 times so far this year for assault, which in Louisiana, y', all, it's battery. That means they put their dick beaters on somebody that didn't want it. They called for assault, disorderly conduct and other crimes. The most serious incident appeared to happen May 21, just before 3pm When a 24 year old man claimed he was slapped by a stranger and he filed a Police report with the nypd. Well, Zanabria said that by the time the police arrive at the restaurant, the rowdy teams have typically already ran like a little, leaving a trail of destruction in their way. Now, zana Bria is 45 and she said she started working at McDonald's at the height of the bedlam six months ago. In one melee, which was caught on video, two groups of teens descended on the joint from both entrances and. And brawl with each other. Right. Because that's the place to have a. We used to have. You don't call them gang fights. What is it? But you know, high school against high school. Yeah, yeah, but it was a. It was a. You met to fight.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Anyway. But now they do. It's like it. We can't do it outside. Let's do it inside of McDonald's. Meet you there. So that the. And they did it. And they had customers inside right near where all the fists were flying. It was fifth City. And they said. She said they were even disrespectful to the cops.

[C]

Oh, it's a surprise.

[B]

Right then. This restaurant is a short walk from a school on Metropolitan avenue which houses three different public schools that enroll 2,000 students, including the Queen Metropolitan High School. Since the band began five months ago, as many as two dozen teens regularly crowd outside the fast food joint. As Zanabria police is the locked main entrance. Another entrance is barricaded with a trash can.

[C]

That's just so sad.

[B]

But just if I, I mean, I guess owners just don't want to shut it down. Right. The. Anyway she says she goes steps out and you know, check. Someone scrupulously checks the hangry teen cell phones for the mobile orders, then serves them their meals outside.

[C]

Make them show it through the window.

[B]

Yeah. If a teen doesn't order online, they're allowed to come inside and do so at the counter one at a time. Under strict surveillance from Ms. Zanabria. She said they do everything to me, boys and girls, and try to get in. I don't hit back, but I call the police. That's what she said. The teens aren't loving it. It's horrible. It's so unnecessary. One wine to the post as he awaited a cheeseburger in the brisk 48 degree weather. Well, if you hadn't acted like a little, you'd be able to go inside. Right. Anyway, the customers, the good paying customers, they. They're cheering the changes. They said, I don't want to be a victim. You, you don't know if they're going to Throw something at you or punch you in the face or something. This is a retired clerk, Joseph Daria, who's 64, told the Post. Anyway, this is not the city's only crime. Red McDonald's to give the teens the boot. Yeah, it's happening all over. A 14 year old boy was stabbed to death at a McDonald's in Sunnyside, Queens on Valentine's Day. And we told you about that on February 14, 2025, after a fight broke out amongst teenagers and a Mickey D's on North Strand and Flatbush avenues in Flatbush, an area known as the Junction, began carting customers at the door in February after alleged weed puffing teens would wreak havoc inside the fast food joint. And this according to the manager, Amber Hussain. The chaos went on for a year before the eatery banned unaccompanied minors from Eden on the premises. The ID check, which is still in practice, came after a group of masked kids broke through a glass door and attacked a security guard at the restaurant. Let me tell you something. You know, I don't do politics and religion stuff, but I'll tell y' all that every night since Aria sleep in the bed and I'm getting undressed and getting ready for bed. I keep my old Bible that Murray Landry gave me all those years ago when I had tried Dremel and neuralgia and I died on the table. But the. I just blindly stick my finger in the book somewhere and read a paragraph just out of habit. And one of them was, you know, spare the rod, spoil the child. I wish one of my kids would. I wish one of my. I don't. I don't wish. But even if it was my goddaughters, the tribe that I like, right? Part of our tribes, if I find them in a McDonald's being disrespectful or to the employees and raising hell or whatever, you know what I'm doing? I'm gonna yank them by the back of their hair and take them outside and I'm gonna beat their ass. If it was my kid. Yeah, the world needs a little more of that. Yeah, I'm serious. Whenever the riots were going on in Baton Rouge, I'll never forget, I was watching it on the news and this kid was out there acting a fool. His mama showed up, yanked him on in front of the news camera and beat his ass. I'm talking, not whip him. She slapped the out of him and said, you love Martin. I work so hard every day and, you know, I tell you, stay out of this trash in this business. Here you are out here acting a fool. Pow, pow. And he said, mama, stop. Mama, stop. Just beating his ass. And you know what? He deserved it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, they have some decency kids. The. I know you're not listening. Anyway, there's no the. Look, there's a lot of great kids out there with the. The. I mean, this just. In my day. Holy fuck. You know, we did a lot of bad shit, but we never did any shit like that. And we did bad shit like stealing trash cans and shit like that, but we didn't go in and physically harm people. Yeah, we got fistfights and stuff, but that was different back then. We weren't, you know, doing inside business. Establishment. My biggest fear back in the day. Honestly, not my fear. My biggest realization back in the day was no matter what I did in Clinton, Louisiana, my daddy was going to know about it before I got home.

[C]

Exactly right.

[B]

And look, the. The. I wish I hadn't done it. And he used to punish me when I was younger and until he didn't. And then I wish.

[C]

I mean, you still got spankings.

[B]

Yeah, the. Yeah, well, it went from spankings to man the man. And I never wanted one of them, but yeah, I deserved every one of them that I got.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I think if the world had a little more ass whipping of these people, they'd be like, I don't really like to get hit like that. I'm not talking about just a torturing and abusing your kid and raping them. I'm talking about, you go out there, you bust out the window of a car dealership and all the Teslas on the light. You come home, I'm gonna bust your ass.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And then you're going to go back up there and work it off.

[C]

That's what I was going to say. Service or something.

[B]

No, I. This would be Woody service.

[C]

I know.

[B]

I'm saying the judge wouldn't have to order it. I would make them go out there and fucking do it. No, you would stand out there with a bullwhip, pick up.

[C]

Obviously these kids pick up that trash that are holding them accountable.

[B]

Well, yeah, it ain't all parents got to work and shit too. Like that mom at a bus. Her kid's ass. Yeah, I mean, she. She just happened to be home watching the news and saw him out there throwing rocks and at the cops and she was like, what? But anyway, that's. Y'. All. That's not a lot of stuff. The. A lot of stuff. It's not a lot of stories, but there are some pretty lengthy ones, even though we threw a short one. And we love and appreciate each and every one of y'. All. And Cindy's got icicles hanging out her ears.

[C]

Thought you're gonna say out of my nose.

[B]

I was trying to be polite. You just run.

[C]

Do I really?

[B]

No. I was trying to avoid that. There you go. I'm gonna tell you about the big booger you got hanging out. Just reach up with your tongue. You can lick it. Lick it before you stick it. She doesn't really have any. Y'. All. She's paranoid about that. The. Anyway. All right. Anything?

[C]

No, thank you.

[B]

I'd love. I really want to see. And we haven't done this a long time. I want to see if I can take a picture of how stupidly we're dressed this morning.

[C]

You see my gloves?

[B]

Hold them up. And I'm gonna set up the sin. And she could post it. The. Truly do love y'. All. Thank you so much on the Bradley case. Y' all just be. Please be careful. I don't feel like I should have say that. And I know people love getting involved, which is great. A lot of great people out there. Holy shit. But the. You're not employed by Woody Overton. And the. The. I can't tell you what you don't know. I certainly love the information and everything y' all are sending. That's fire. But if you take it upon yourself to start questioning potential murderers, please be careful. All right? I don't need another hashtag justice. 4 out of Vernon Parish. Although I got one coming. Y'. All. As soon as I get done with Bradley and Austin, this case is just. And look, it's done. I mean, this. This is not like we're trying to find Bradley Case. It is a horrible case. And when I. Vernon Parish Sheriff's office. Thanks. They hate me now.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And this came up during this case. And. And the family has the whole entire case Fil. Vernon Parrish ever heard of Woody Overton?

[C]

Right?

[B]

And they gonna wish they didn't have to give it up. So. Well, you know what?

[C]

I just want. I don't like it when they say I'm working hand in hand with Woody.

[B]

That's a. That's a. Listen, people. They may not even be saying that. They. They. And they may be saying it doesn't matter to me. I don't give a. Let them work. Let them do it. The. The. Is putting up the pressure. And this is what solves cases. And I'm doing what I'm doing. If they. You could say whatever you want to. Doesn't mean, look, I'm Superman, okay? It doesn't mean it's true. Right?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And it doesn't mean Superman's going to come here and say, woody, you're. You're not telling the truth. Okay, yeah, you know what? Me and Superman whipped Batman's ass last night. I'm pretty sure Batman or Superman are not going to show up today and say, woody, you can't say that. You see, I'm saying I don't have time enough to. To. To chase after all this. The stuff and correct all the stuff that people are saying or aren't saying. Right? The just the. I don't want to say. It's juvenile. I just don't have. I don't care. I know it's true. That's what's important. All right. And y', all, keep it up. Love and appreciate each one of you patron convicts. Love you. National sponsors. Thank you so much. More commercials.
