1. Animal Cruelty at Weatherford Parker County Animal Shelter

Timeframe: [09:05] – [19:00]

Cindy Overton opens the episode with the tragic case of Gabriel Skyler Caswell, a 23-year-old Texas man sentenced to 40 years in prison for severe animal cruelty. Caswell was arrested after surveillance footage revealed him violently abusing kittens at the Weatherford Parker County Animal Shelter.

• Discovery and Arrest: Initially suspected of disease-related kitten deaths, investigations took a dark turn when an employee witnessed Caswell mistreating a kitten on July 23. With concrete video evidence, Caswell faced 15 counts of animal cruelty.

  Cindy Overton [10:01]: “There was footage obtained by the police showing the torturing of kittens at the shelter.”

• Defense and Sentencing: Caswell claimed his actions were driven by stress from an infant at home and frustration over restricted access to pornography. Despite these defenses, the severity of his actions led to a substantial prison sentence.

  Woody Overton [13:33]: “London, a Texas man film torturing cats. A Texas...”

• Impact on Victims: The emotional toll on both the shelter employees and the community is highlighted, emphasizing the cruelty inflicted upon innocent animals.

Timeframe: [21:21] – [38:18]

• Modus Operandi: Diaz exploited the communal water dispenser to violate his coworkers, leading to multiple charges including indecent assault.

  Woody Overton [24:08]: “So the deadly weapon was Diaz's own bodily fluids. Wait, bodily fluids aren't deadly?”

• Health Implications: During the trial, it was revealed that Diaz had contracted herpes simplex virus type 1 and Chlamydia, which he transmitted to his victims. This added a layer of severity to his crimes, classifying his actions as using a deadly weapon.

  Woody Overton [35:17]: “And he got charged some serious shit. Yeah, he's going to get some serious time.”

• Legal Proceedings: Diaz received credit for two years served at Harris County Jail and faced ongoing civil suits. The case underscores the importance of workplace safety and the extreme breaches of trust committed by Diaz.

Cindy introduces the disturbing incident from Marion County, Indiana, where a 36-year-old mother boarded a school bus with her two children to confront a 14-year-old student she believed was bullying her 13-year-old son.

• The Confrontation: The mother, Lettea Hints, engaged in a physical altercation resulting in the minor injury of the student. Her aggressive actions included threatening to "kill" the student if he continued to bully her child.

  Cindy Overton [40:07]: “Well, she's going to take care of it because she sees her son not. But so you're gonna now go bully.”

• Legal Charges: Hints faces multiple felony charges, including criminal confinement, battery, intimidation, and trespassing. The prosecution emphasized the need for a safe school environment, condemning her actions as irresponsible and harmful.

  Woody Overton [43:13]: “Yeah. I never understood bullying. I don't, I don't get it.”

• Parental Responsibility: The case raises questions about appropriate responses to bullying and the role of parents in addressing their children's social challenges within educational settings.

• Disappearance: Esther Martin reported the sudden and unexplained disappearance of her one-year-old bulldogs, who were regular companions to her husband and brother-in-law during their logging work.

  Woody Overton [54:29]: “So that night Shane searched the area multiple times. And the pet owners left items of clothing with their smell...”

• Investigation: Wildlife Troopers conducted a routine inspection of crab pots, leading to the grim discovery of the dogs. The investigation suggests possible personal motives, though no clear suspects have emerged.

  Cindy Overton [56:00]: “Now the Martins have stepped up their game again. They went from $500 to $1,000...”

• Community Impact: The Martin family's search included extensive community engagement, offering rewards and maintaining hope for answers. The case highlights the emotional devastation of losing beloved pets and the challenges in uncovering the truth behind such heinous acts.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, I love it when you rap.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, well, I'm not gonna do it today, but the. We're right back coming to bring you some true crime time for Taco Tuesday. And again, you're gonna hear it. Okay, I don't. I don't have the numbers. We're still recording this basically two days early. All right, so the southeastern show that. Again, I don't have the numbers. I had. We had them like on Thursday last weekend. They were already a significant amount sold. It might be sold out by now. If not, go to where soon?

[Cindy Overton]

Go to your email if you're signed up for that, but go to for sure. The app. There's links in the app. I'll be posting some fresh links so you don't have to scroll down Facebook.

[Woody Overton]

I don't. I was in the app today and I can't. I used to pin stuff to the top or to the top of things and they would stay there. They're not there if you go to.

[Cindy Overton]

The feed in the app, they're pinned to the top, not the forum. And you prefer the forum.

[Woody Overton]

Can we not pin it to the top of the forum?

[Cindy Overton]

You cannot pin it to the top. And the feed. The feed is strictly.

[Woody Overton]

You said feed. I don't go to the feed. Forum is where I go.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay, so vice, wherever you don't go, they're pinned to the top there.

[Woody Overton]

Well, then we're going to pin it to the top.

[Cindy Overton]

Where I do, you can't pin to the top.

[Woody Overton]

Okay, well, then we'll do a post every day about it.

[Cindy Overton]

That's what I said.

[Woody Overton]

And then the crew page. It's not pinned to the top.

[Cindy Overton]

It should be pinned to the top.

[Woody Overton]

There's.

[Cindy Overton]

I will pin it to the top.

[Woody Overton]

Yep. I'm trying to make it easy for lifers to click on the link so they can buy the tickets, y'all. Regardless, it. You know, if you're having trouble finding it, let us know. And the. It's going to be a great event. Live, raw and unscripted on the stage from southeastern Louisiana University main campus in Hammond, Louisiana. You don't have to show it to me. I'm just. It's there then. Great. I'm glad it's there. Pin it to the top. And.

[Cindy Overton]

And there pinned to the top is what I'm showing you, baby.

[Woody Overton]

Then why something above it?

[Cindy Overton]

That's the hotel and these are the tickets.

[Woody Overton]

That's on the crew page. Yeah, go to the crew page.

[Cindy Overton]

Crew page.

[Woody Overton]

Whereas when I say pins at the top. Thank you very much.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, it's under featured.

[Woody Overton]

This. Okay, that doesn't work. Nobody goes to the feature button. I'm telling you. Used to have. I used to have three or four things pinned to the top that would stay at the top and I would have to take them down, remove them as. As it went on. So anyway, y'all, it's going to be an awesome live show. Awesome, great weekend. We have the block of rooms at the Home2 Suites and they're probably going to sell out. I think we had 50 rooms.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, we started with 25, but we can add more.

[Woody Overton]

All right, well, y'all let. Well, we need to check with them because I know that's probably already filled out also, but is that code all or else did they call that property directly?

[Cindy Overton]

They can call it directly or there's a link. That's what the Home2Suites link is at the top of the page.

[Woody Overton]

And tell them what? Tell them about it. For the people who don't go to the pages, this is your chance to tell them about.

[Cindy Overton]

On the microphone, you can call Home2 Suites at 985-332-2300 and just use code reallife, real crime and they will get you set up there. Or if you are on our social media Facebook page app, you can click on the Home2 Suites button and you can also do it through the link. And it's $50 off the rooms. I think that with taxes, it's 157 a night.

[Woody Overton]

And that's before the 50 off.

[Cindy Overton]

That's. That's total. Like the rooms are 139 and with taxes and.

[Woody Overton]

And says it's 50 off and it's 159.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

Well, it's still not bad for. I tell. Probably not for a Hilton property and.

[Cindy Overton]

Not for that this time. That time of year. Almost $190 a night typically. But you so expensive nowadays.

[Woody Overton]

But thanks home to sweets for giving them a discount.

[Cindy Overton]

Definitely. And the great thing like what he said on a previous show is they do have the kitchen. But you get, you know, like a lot of places these days have resort fees. Even though it's not a resort, you still have to pay for your wi fi. You have to pay for parking here.

[Woody Overton]

That's. But let me tell you something. You know this. I love Hammond. I live there. The food and. And the people and it's just great place.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

Okay, you do. You do a story and then I'll get us a beer.

[Cindy Overton]

You want me to do the story while you get the beer?

[Woody Overton]

I want to be here for your story. That would be impolite of me to not interrupt me. Exactly. If I interrupt you and say stop, slow down, I speed up because you needed.

[Cindy Overton]

I. I'm going to move the chair out. And I like this chair.

[Woody Overton]

It just needs some juice on it.

[Cindy Overton]

And I read so fast. Because when you interrupt me, then that's when I start. Like I get.

[Woody Overton]

We do that anyway.

[Cindy Overton]

No, if I get a flow going.

[Woody Overton]

You can fix it.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm doing my best.

[Woody Overton]

You do better when you tell the story and don't read anyway.

[Cindy Overton]

I do better when I get my stories. More than two.

[Woody Overton]

You do better when I get you a beer after you do this first store. So do it.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh my gosh. So. So I told a story earlier about.

[Woody Overton]

Cooking some brats today from Wisconsin. Reuben flavored brats, man. Look, I love them boys from Wisconsin. One of them that came down was the butcher. I've been telling the lifers what was a. He's an actual real. Makes his living, has his own butcher shop. Goes out and. And butchers, you know, like basically kill for the farmers and, and stuff up there and then brings this place and process it. Holy. You talk about some good meat and. And so they brought all this and today, I mean I love a good bratwurst anyway. A good bride. And today we're gonna have some Reuben flavored brats. Yeah, might as well. They're fresh. I mean they're frozen, but they're not cooked.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, well, they were freshly made to bring down to you.

[Woody Overton]

Right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

I'm gonna smoke the out of them.

[Cindy Overton]

Smoke them.

[Woody Overton]

Hey, our squash plants are coming up. I know. I'm so excited.

[Cindy Overton]

WL did those with his own two hands.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. So I couldn't be any further away from crime right now. But go ahead. I don't want to interrupt you again.

[Cindy Overton]

I promise you, you will see how many words I can get out. Somebody count how many words I get out before I'm interrupted. 23 year old man give you the silent treatment? I told a story on that previous show where I actually had a student who hurt cat. I hurt a cat and then ran over it with a lawnmower. Well, today there's a. This is not my student. 23 year old Texas man was filmed abusing and killing cats at an animal shelter and he was sentenced to 40 years in prison.

[Woody Overton]

Don't for cats.

[Cindy Overton]

I haven't seen the show yet. I don't plan on seeing that show. That's just really sad to think about.

[Woody Overton]

Texas man film torturing cats A Texas.

[Cindy Overton]

Man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison after torturing and killing cats at an animal shelter. Gabriel Skyler Caswell, who was 23, pleaded guilty to 12 additional counts of animal cruelty and was sentenced to 10 extra years in prison on Tuesday. Obviously there's more to this story. Caswell will serve the new sentence concurrently with the 30 years he was sentenced to in previous trials for the same offenses. Last year, the Weatherford Police Department began investigating the deaths of several kittens at an animal shelter in 2023. And the shelter which was later identified as. The Weatherford Parker County Animal Shelter, said it initially believed that the kitten deaths were disease related until results came back like. Almost like an autopsy came back. It wasn't until July23, when an employee at the animal shelter witnessed the co worker Caswell, mistreating a kitten. And investigators obtained video evidence of the mistreatment. That. That's when he was arrested. And the Parker County District attorney, Jeff Swain, says Mr. Caswell was finally caught when a shelter staff member walked in while he was abusing a kitten. From that point, shelter staff and Weatherford police department detectives investigated hundreds of hours of surveillance video that proved that what he was doing and ended up making 15 cases against him.

[Woody Overton]

Wow.

[Cindy Overton]

So there was footage obtained by the police showing the torturing of kittens at the shelter by throwing the kittens against walls. St. What?

[Woody Overton]

Throwing them against the wall?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, stomping on them.

[Woody Overton]

Let's see what that sound. I mean, why.

[Cindy Overton]

And even smashing their heads and necks. This is what's on footage. Like video footage, dumbass. And then he would put the lifeless victim, the lifeless kittens in the trash cans.

[Woody Overton]

Watch over respect after their day.

[Cindy Overton]

Right. The footage was played during trial, causing jurors, of course, to cry. And some clips were even not played.

[Woody Overton]

I bet that stupid went to trial.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, my God.

[Cindy Overton]

And then some of. They chose not to play some clips because they were deemed too upsetting. So eventually, Caswell admitted to police that he took out his frustrations on the kittens due to stress from an infant at home. So now he's blaming his own kid at home. And get, this is a whole new. And this is like the day of excuses. You know what else he was taking to stress out on weight loss? He couldn't access something. His penis pornography.

[Woody Overton]

Really?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. So he couldn't have access to pornography. I have no idea. And stress of an infant at home. The prosecutor says. In my nearly 30 years as a prosecutor, I have seen some horrific things. However, I have never actually witnessed on video this particular kind of cruelty.

[Woody Overton]

Bruh, let me tell you something. You need to stop the story.

[Cindy Overton]

There I am. I'm done.

[Woody Overton]

The. The. I was very good about not interrupting, by the way.

[Cindy Overton]

That's only because you were on your phone.

[Woody Overton]

That's true. I was texting Shane that. Okay, let's just paint a little scenario for you on the level of bad things and reasons why you don't want to go to jury trial. Number one is raping a kid. Whether you did it or didn't do it, you don't want to go to jury trial because the prosecution is going to present their evidence, which they certainly think they have enough, right? Like hashtag justice for Haley. We know they have enough, but they haven't presented it yet. They can present whatever evidence they got. And guess what happens? There's 12 people sitting in that jury box, scorched state versus Peterson, who don't want to be there. Nobody wants to be on jury day, all right? And they don't want to be there to begin with. But there are 12 regular people from all walks of life who have kids and pets and grandkids and shit like that, regular jobs. Most of them go to church on Sunday and shit like that. And you put them in the box, you tell them about kids being right and whatever. You might have some photos, whatever. They can make somebody pay. Now, that's probably 10 being the worst and one being, you know, whatever. That's probably the worst. But you got a video of this monster smashing cats in the walls and Stephan on their necks and da da da da da. I'm pretty sure the bitty kitty kittens are right up there with kids on people who don't want to be sitting on the jury anyway. Especially because you're a cat killer, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

What the did he think he was going to get? I mean, what is your defense? We have you on video, sir.

[Cindy Overton]

His defense is his kid was stressing him out and he couldn't get to pornography.

[Woody Overton]

Like I said, like I said. What is his defense? Okay, the. I'm pretty sure, you know, most of the people that were on the jury have kids, have fucking stressed them out at some point. My kids stress me the fuck out there sometimes, right? Just like they do you too. But I don't smash cats heads in the walls. It, there's, you know, I can't say that I don't have access to pornography because if I chose to, I could look it up right now. But you know, but maybe somebody on the jury couldn't access pornography at some point and they did not smash cats and stomp them and do whatever the they do. Right. So very interesting story. I mean, I don't know what to say. Right, right. So this is the point where I think I'm supposed to go get beers. All right, y'all, as I said, we're gonna drink a beer today. And a lot of podcasts, remember, we started out like, one of them was, like, True Crown Garage or something. They drank beer. Or maybe not that one. People drink beer. Yeah, I drink beer.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

I need to drink beer on podcast, everybody. I got to do it with Josh E Bar that time. Drink beer. Yeah, on the podcast.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Right here one time. You open your beer.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't have a beer.

[Woody Overton]

What the. I didn't get you one.

[Cindy Overton]

Is that the thing?

[Woody Overton]

Oh, here it is. All right.

[Cindy Overton]

I think we drank on some special. Oh, I think on the special drop. We did.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, we did that for. About the live show.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

All right. So, you know, the world is what the world is, and people do what they do. But I'm gonna tell you about a. It's time for effed up professionals. A f'd up professional. Okay. Going to Texas Tea House, and we're going to Liam Reese town. H Town. Right.

[Cindy Overton]

All right.

[Woody Overton]

I got to stay there at probably the Baritzius Hotel. I think I've stayed at the two top hotels in Houston.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Then at the Ballpark and then. But we had a really. Well, I can't remember. Holy. We all got paid to stay there. There. But it. That place was, like, stupid the amount of money. But anyway, H Town, you know, takes all kinds to make the world go round. But this guy was working at a medical office in Houston, and his name was Lucio Catalino diaz.

[Cindy Overton]

Nice.

[Woody Overton]

He's 53. He's two years younger than me. And you know what? He got his ass in a crack. Guess what he did.

[Cindy Overton]

Rob the place?

[Woody Overton]

Nope. He did. He pled guilty to a single count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Now, keep in mind, Louisiana people, Ag assault in Louisiana is an assault in Louisiana is if you have a reasonable apprehension of fear that someone's going to do something to you, like they make a threat or whatever. Ag assault in Louisiana can only be if you make that threat with a firearm or a weapon. If I threat, I say, I'm about to stab you, bitch, with this knife.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

That's aggravated assault. Now, in Texas and other states, the assault is when you actually do it.

[Cindy Overton]

Right.

[Woody Overton]

And the battery is the threat. Here are the batteries when you do it. But in T. Haas. Oh. Lucille Catana Diaz, he Pled guilty to that. Single count. Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Because the prosecutors cut him a deal. A sweetheart of deals. And they dismissed the additional seven counts. Aggravated assault, he was charged with, as well as a single count of indecent assault. Okay, so he got a fucking sweetheart. Hey, the Sue Catana was smart enough to not take this case before a jury. Right, but you hadn't heard what he did. You heard what he pled to.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, but I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

So, you know, if you're going to use a weapon and try to harm someone, what kind of weapon would it be?

[Cindy Overton]

A gun?

[Woody Overton]

That would be my weapon of preference.

[Cindy Overton]

Is that these guns.

[Woody Overton]

Right. Let me use my bingo wings to.

[Cindy Overton]

Are you saying I have bingo wings?

[Woody Overton]

I'm definitely saying you have bingo wings in our 50s, man. The. You don't have Bing wings. I'm just teasing you. I always say that about myself. All right, so this dude takes deadly weapons to a whole new fucking level, right? I'm gonna give you three guesses. Three guesses, and I'll tell you hotter or colder if. I don't really know if that applies. Three guesses of what his deadly weapon of choice was.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Wine.

[Cindy Overton]

A beer can.

[Woody Overton]

Negative. Not even. Call us.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay. A belt?

[Woody Overton]

Not even. Coleus.

[Cindy Overton]

A tortilla?

[Woody Overton]

You being racist. I love me some fucking tortillas, all right. No, not even close. So we'll get past that. So the deadly weapon was Diaz's own bodily fluids. Wait, bodily fluids aren't deadly?

[Cindy Overton]

They can be.

[Woody Overton]

I'll tell you about it. I'll tell you about it. So Diaz, you know, his actions were discovered by an employee of the medical office in September 2022. This in the criminal complaint attained by people. The employee said, hey, I began to be a little bit concerned when I discovered that the water I got from the water dispenser, it had a funny taste and a smell to it.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

All right. So she said, I want to drink any of them. Or that sour water from that communal dispenser. And then she told police that she started bringing her own water bottles.

[Cindy Overton]

Is this a Denny Perkins thing?

[Woody Overton]

Listen to me. She told police she started bringing her own water bottles each day. All right? And some days, she didn't finish all her water, and she left the water bottle on her desk. But she soon. This girl's sharp. She must have been. Leah Maria, we talking about you in this episode. The.

[Cindy Overton]

The guy wouldn't be alive still.

[Woody Overton]

It was a. Liam, Read this. Been on Murder by you a minute ago. So. So she. Listen she notices the water bottle she left on her. The personal water bottle she left on her desk. She got it in one morning, she was a little bit thirsty. One washed coffee out of her mouth. She opened it up and she said it smelled nasty. Right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Maybe she's got some really good, what do you call it, Oliosenses or oleo factors or whatever. She said it was so horrible that she just decided to throw it away rather than investigate the source. She's busy. She's in the medical office. She's busy. Right, okay. But three weeks after. This is fucked up. Three weeks after first noticing that something was off with the water in the communal dispenser. And the employee discovered the source of the off putting taste and smell when a co worker offered to make her coffee. The same coworker, we hadn't talked about any coworkers.

[Cindy Overton]

That's right. She hadn't thought a co worker was doing this as of yet. Okay.

[Woody Overton]

So the employee made sure to tell her co worker, hey, use some, another kind of water besides the water from the dispenser because that sounds like shit. And the. She handed her the water she's bringing in to use my. Yeah, right, yeah, this is unopened or I mean she didn't say anything about her other ones that she left on the desk that smell like. Yeah, that. So she gives them the co worker that bottle. Co worker says, hey, you know, why is the water side yellow? At that point the employee took a whiff of the bottle and smelled the odor of pee. At this point the two women spoke to the doctor medical facility. Right. At the facility. And he agreed to do a urinalysis test. Guess what it was?

[Cindy Overton]

Urine.

[Woody Overton]

Absolutely. The test came back positive af. Now I don't know about you, but if I'm this lady at this point I'm become very upset. Hold on, why make some pee myself? Well, not done. Hold on. I had to have a sip of beer. So naturally you're fucking livid. Right. And they call the cops. And the employee told police she then bought a large bottle of water and put in clear view of a small hidden camera. She set up her desk to see if she could discover who might be urinating in her water. Right. She had just arrived home when she got an alert. Camera went off. That's like our cameras we have for hun go off on the cell phone when shit comes out, not shit when animals come out. So she gets home and ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. And she goes to the camera and observes the janitor. Person she knew as Lucio open her water bottle which was placed on her desk. He then unzipped his pants, removed his penis from his pants, placed them, placed the head of his penis and has in parentheses bear I guess she bare back her water bottle, place the head of his penis in her water bottle, causing the entire mouth of the water bottle to touch his penis. This is according to the plan. I guess Mr. Lucio's penis wasn't so small that it didn't touch all the sides of a water bottle. Pretty sure nobody's penis is so small, but maybe did you know there's an online cannabis company that ships federally legal THC right to your door?

Dream of better the video then showed Diaz putting the cap back on the bottle and he returned it to the desk. Right? You would think they calling the cops in and they gonna do bring in the troops and kick Mr. Diaz and nuts and all that stuff. No, we're like, okay, got him once, let's see if we can get him again. So it happened again the following night and Diaz, when they finally get his ass, he says, I did it because I knew the employee would drink it. The next day he fessed up. And on further question and Diaz explained the investigators that he just had a sickness.

[Cindy Overton]

What's that sickness called?

[Woody Overton]

Wait a minute. I'm not talking about sickness of putting your dick in a water bottle and pissing. I'm talking about he had std.

[Cindy Overton]

It's not funny. It's so not funny.

[Woody Overton]

So they, they. Then they I don't know if it's the same doctor's office, but. So he admitted that he had STD. So they tested him for STDs. And guess what? That test, he studied real hard for it because it came back positive for herpes simplex virus type 1. And guess what?

[Cindy Overton]

She got it.

[Woody Overton]

Damn straight she did. The employee had to go get tested and she got it. And this part, that part's not funny. And she said she had never previously tested positive for any kind of STDs, much less this. And tested on Diaz realized he Was positive for the same virus as well as. Ding, ding, ding, bonus time. Chlamydia, the clap. This nasty. How nasty are you? So the DA's office classifies Diaz urine as a deadly weapon because herpes simplex virus, one type, can weaken the immune system and cause bodily injury that creates a substantial risk of death. Now stick with me because there's more to the story.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay?

[Woody Overton]

Now, you know you got a lot of women work at doctor's offices. Yeah, right. Some men, too. I'm not being. What is. It's not racist. What if.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, I know.

[Woody Overton]

What the gender.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Who knows all the fucking terms we have nowadays, so I'm not being that person. But multiple women discovered they had contracted STDs after they found out Diaz is pissing and putting his dick and everything. And Diaz, of course, faces a number of civil suits. Yeah, what you're going to get out of the janitor, it pisses in your water. The judge gave Diaz credit for two years time served. I guess this motherfucker couldn't make bail. He sat in the jail, the Harris County Jail, for two years, waiting on his trial.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

And he was like, fuck that, I'm good.

[Cindy Overton]

So he got out and on parole.

[Woody Overton]

No, no, no, no. He. We gotta make a all woody team for this show. It could be for different categories or just shocking and outrageous shit. Mr. Diaz is on the All Star team. We don't have to rank them in particular order, but since I'm sitting here having a sip of my beer. Mr. Diaz, you, sir, are a nasty motherfucker.

[Cindy Overton]

What if he didn't have diseases? Would it still be the same?

[Woody Overton]

No, I mean, it would just be like indecent, whatever. I mean, I don't know. That's a good question. But pissing is not. Drinking piss is not going to kill you. So. I mean, he got charged some serious shit. Yeah, he's going to get some serious time. They didn't say how much time he. He pled to me. Besides, he got two years of credit for time, sir. But his ass going to prison, as it should. And the one thing he should tell everybody is don't put the jelly on my pee pee. Oh, he didn't lie, actually. Probably like that, but because I'm infected a couple times, I got herpes and the clap.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, won't the President. The prisons give him medicine for all that, like for free?

[Woody Overton]

I didn't think about that. I didn't think about that.

[Cindy Overton]

He's gonna get healed in prison.

[Woody Overton]

Prison. I'm pretty sure you don't get help from herpes.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

The clap. I don't know. And I've. I've never had either one.

[Cindy Overton]

I haven't either.

[Woody Overton]

The there before the grass guy goes, me probably. But the, you know, Mr. Diaz knew he was infected. I mean, I always heard about the clap. When you go. Go to pee, it burns and it burns.

[Cindy Overton]

Eddie Murphy.

[Woody Overton]

Murphy said doctors, they went to the doctor and he said, hey, doc, when I have my burn. Yeah, when I burn. He said, sir, you mean you have a burning sensation when you urinate? He said, no, I got fire shooting out of my dick. All right, all right. Ms. Diaz, you, sir, are one of the that and the cat dude today. Yeah, that's two all stars. All right, lay something on us.

[Cindy Overton]

We're just gonna get even better. Indiana mothers facing felony charges after boarding a school bus and attacking a 14 year old student with her children.

[Woody Overton]

Hold on. It's time for family matters. Tell a story.

[Cindy Overton]

So we're going to Marion county, Indiana.

[Woody Overton]

Marion county.

[Cindy Overton]

So this mom gets on a bus.

[Woody Overton]

With her two kids and Marion and then.

[Cindy Overton]

And now.

[Woody Overton]

Why would a mom get on a bus? The. You were a teacher for many years. How many times? I mean, unless you're going on a field trip, why would you get on a bus?

[Cindy Overton]

Well, you're gonna go beat up another kid.

[Woody Overton]

Mom's gonna beat up a kid with.

[Cindy Overton]

Her two children get on the bus to have a altercation with a nut with someone on the bus.

[Woody Overton]

So she got on the bus to mama bear.

[Cindy Overton]

That's way above mama bearing.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, in her brain. It wasn't.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, Lettea hints was charged with criminal confinement because they were stuck on the bus.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, but probably they couldn't get away.

[Cindy Overton]

From her battery, resulting in moderate injury. Intimidation because she's a 36 year old woman. And criminal trespassing because she got on a bus.

[Woody Overton]

Wasn't supposed to be there. Mama bear.

[Cindy Overton]

That's right. Because she and she got in a altercation with a 14 year old student on that bus. Now what's the bus driver doing in all this?

[Woody Overton]

I don't know. Maybe the bus driver was the one that did the.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, maybe the bus driver is the one doing the video.

[Woody Overton]

A bus is having videos now?

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, that's true.

[Woody Overton]

Shout out Mike Parlo, Wisconsin, about to retire, driving a bus all these years.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. So she boarded the bus with her son and daughter to confront another student.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. So evidently I'm gonna just be. I'm gonna use my psychic powers. The student must have been bullying one of her Kids. And she got on there to say, hey, this, you will bully somebody. I'm gonna show you what bullying's about.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, she was, I said 36 and her son is 13. But the daughter, she got on the bus with the other 17 years old.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The apple does all far from the.

[Cindy Overton]

Tree and they're beating up a 14 year old.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Hey, none says all in like a little family ass whip.

[Cindy Overton]

No. And the prosecutor in this case says parents have the responsibility to protect our children, not harm them. Yeah, obviously. And so he says we must ensure a safe and respectful environment on our buses. That's what the prosecutor says. But the video shows and it's now been taken down so we can't go see it. But you hear the woman saying, I'm tired of you. I'm just going to say the words bitch ass kids at this school. This is what the mom's saying in the video. You're going to put your hands. Oh, this is 17 year old. You put your hands on my brother. If I have to get back on this bus, I'm going to kill you.

[Woody Overton]

Really?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Well, so the probable.

[Woody Overton]

Pretty sure she doesn't have to get back on the bus.

[Cindy Overton]

Right. The probable cause affidavit says that hence the mom told the police that her 13 year old son had not been acting like himself due to an ongoing bullying situation. Yeah, so she's going to take care of it because she sees her son not. But so you're gonna now go bully.

[Woody Overton]

That is, you know, lack of parenting 101 skills.

[Cindy Overton]

She said she told the police that she had tried to address the situation on the bus before the two boys got into a fight, but did not say that her daughter got involved in it. Well, they have video of the daughter saying, I'm gonna kill you, like if I have to get back on this bus.

[Woody Overton]

Your daughter got on the bus too.

[Cindy Overton]

The kid was slapped without provocation. The day before the altercation, the mama bear's kid and he told the police that.

[Woody Overton]

I gotta interrupt you. My daddy's one rule was, and this is my rule for our son. You asked WL, he's about to be 15. I told him, I said, do not start a fight. But motherfucker puts her hands on you and you don't fight. And you come home and I hear you didn't fight. I'm gonna put my hands on you.

[Cindy Overton]

Right?

[Woody Overton]

And my daddy used to tell me the same thing. He said, shoves you or they punch you or they slap you. You better do everything you can to break their nose and break their face. And he said, I don't care if you get your ass whipped.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

He said, but if you come home and I find out you let somebody fucking punch you and you didn't do anything about it, I'm gonna punch you. Yeah. I'm gonna teach you how to be a man.

[Cindy Overton]

Well.

[Woody Overton]

And this kid got bitch slapped the day before. I mean, the whole running telling, I mean that the, the natural instinct if you get hit is to hit back. And the only way these motherfuckers are gonna stop bullying is if you stand up for yourself.

[Cindy Overton]

Right? And the, the 13 year old, the son of the mother that gets on the bus had done this day and age. Not, you know, our day and age, everything, right? He reported the bullying that had been going on for weeks to school administration. And they were aware of it, but nothing was done to stop it. Or if they tried to do something, it had not stopped.

[Woody Overton]

That's crazy.

[Cindy Overton]

So that's. The mom decided to take things.

[Woody Overton]

You know what? I'm not throwing shade on that mom.

[Cindy Overton]

And what. But the 14 year old had to go to the hospital. He had a swelling in his left eye. He had a laceration, a fractured nose.

[Woody Overton]

And bruised three sides. Every story, there's. There's no truth. But if that little dude was the bully on the bus, he's the big kahona or whatever, the big chieftain. And he's picking on this other little 14 year old. First of all, that's another rule I had. And you know this. I broke my hand in a fight one time. And I teach our son the same thing I taught all our kids when they came up. If you see somebody getting picked on, you stop it.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And. Or I will beat your ass. And I don't care if you get your ass whipped. Stopping it. Do not sit there and watch somebody pick on someone because they got thick glasses or they got acne or whatever the fuck. Help people, help them protect themselves. Right? I never understood bullying. I don't, I don't get it.

[Cindy Overton]

So a witness says that the mom boarded the bus with the daughter and then said, which one is it? And then she instructed her brother to take off his coat.

[Woody Overton]

Was like, big eyes. Like, holy. Yeah, say me. Don't say me. And the bully Sugar just turned to shit.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Wait a minute. Sugar turned the shit.

[Cindy Overton]

The 14 year old, the bull. Apparently the bully's mom claimed to police that her son had been the focus of bullying and racist jokes because he's half Mexican.

[Woody Overton]

Okay?

[Cindy Overton]

And so that was the excuse. But then, like I was saying, the daughter got on the bus, says, which one is it? And then told her brother to take off his coat. And then he, the brother started hitting the 13 year old, the one that was being bullied started hitting the bully. And then the sister decides to jump in. And then the mother's yelling, you're not going to touch my son again. That's where it ends, basically. It's just ridiculous.

[Woody Overton]

That is something special. I don't know, I mean, I got mixed emotions.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean, you can't. I have mixed emotions about that too because you, you know, this day and age, there's protocols that you have to play or the victim is going to get.

[Woody Overton]

I understand.

[Cindy Overton]

If you work in quality control at.

[Woody Overton]

A candy factory, you know, strict safety.

Get more with Geico, I understand this is how I would handle it this day and age. If wl came home from school, said, I'm being bullied, the guy slapped me, da da da da da. I would have told him not exactly what my dad told me. Tomorrow when you go there, right in front of everybody, he's gonna do it again. Bullies feed off your fear and they're gonna do it until you stop them. And tomorrow when you get on the bus and the dude comes up to you, tries to take your milk money or whatever the lunch money or whatever it's called or you know, calls you a wet back or whatever he's doing. Yeah, because you're half Mexican. Who gives a about that, right? But anyway, when he does it absolutely quick and cat like with surprise, you rare back punch that square in the nose as hard as you can because when you break someone's nose, they can't see. And then you could just beat the out of yeah. And do it one time. We know. I know. You're gonna get in trouble. My. And I did that. The. I got expelled. Not expelled, but suspended a couple times for doing it. But I always did it to take up for somebody else. Yeah, right. But hit him as hard as you can. And yes, you're going to get expelled nowadays or whatever. Suspended. But that's okay. You stood up for yourself. And guess what? That kid will never with you again.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And probably will never fuck with anybody else again. And you say you get expelled or you get suspended. I expect that. Getting on the board. Getting on board the bus with your 17 year old. It's just not the right way to handle.

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

In any situation. No. Even though you want to. Everybody wants to, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

But let the kid do it. And they're juvenile. They only have a record. Bust that nose. Yeah, bust it. Make blood fly. Let the blood fly. Anyway, there you go. I don't know. I'm probably not the best parent. But is what it is. So let me just do a real quick. Quick summez. Louise. I gotta do this. It'll be quick. I know we're running out of time because we've been rambling on and we stopped to get beer and I'm almost out of beer. So. Going to Alaska.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

The one place I've never been. I had a dream last night about gold mine.

[Cindy Overton]

You weren't playing it?

[Woody Overton]

No, I wasn't playing it. I didn't delete it at the game. Suck the. So y'all, if you got gold somewhere near you invite me over. I'll come. Gold mining. The Going to Alaska Now Alaska State troopers. Out of every law enforcement agency there is, except for the Texas Rangers, I give Alaska State Troopers some props.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay?

[Woody Overton]

You know why?

[Cindy Overton]

Because it's cold.

[Woody Overton]

No. Yeah. It's definitely fucking cold. These dudes and guys and girls are fucking badasses, okay? The. They're not only state troopers, they're possum cops. They're. They fly planes. They. They. You know, they're assigned to like remote villages and shit where the. A lot of the are tribal and they. You can't even have alcohol. But alcoholism, it's kind of like Indian reservations. Alcoholism. Oh, you remind me. I got message from that lawyer of the day that. The neo Nazi chick that ran over the Indian girl.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Got convicted and they want to consult on a different case. But they go in these tribal communities by themselves. They got no backup. They had a fly. A plane. They fly planes and they had to fly a plane. In and land this three hours away to go on 1-911-call and. Or they got to go arrest somebody and you know it's gonna be Uncle Joe. It's all up again. He ain't supposed to be drinking in the village and he doesn't rape Lil Susie or whatever. And he's got an arsenal. I mean, obviously I watched all Alaska State trooper shows, these and that Jody Foster show. I didn't really like that.

[Cindy Overton]

You liked it. I'm just saying it was all about.

[Woody Overton]

Cops and that was stupid. Then you throw it in the environment and everything else is some badass. But we're going to Alaska. And another one of your absolute favorite things, crab pots.

[Cindy Overton]

I love crab pots. How many together?

[Woody Overton]

How many did we make? 130, 150something, I think we made by hand. 150something crab traps and wire splitters. We went and bought all the stuff and made it. And we're not talking about bait on the stream, we're talking about professional crab pots. And I went and got a license for them and everything else is another story. What he did, career, what he had. But anyway, so we're talking about Alaska crab pots and these two little baby French bulldogs. How cute, huh? So cute, right? Well, they were cute until they weren't. And when they found them, the remains of the two French bulldogs, they had been missing for a month in Alaska. You know where they found them?

[Cindy Overton]

In the ice?

[Woody Overton]

No, in the crab pots.

[Cindy Overton]

What? How do you get. Well, they have big, big, big crab pots.

[Woody Overton]

Okay. You got to put one of those in our crab pots. You gonna force that in for bait? Absolutely.

[Cindy Overton]

You're right.

[Woody Overton]

So anyway, the Alaska Wildlife Troopers made the tragic discovery when they were just doing a routine inspection of crap pots right near Thorn bay Harbor on March 14. And the animals have been missing since February 13. So their owner, a Ms. Esther Martin, told a local KTU that her husband came and brother in law Shane had taken the one year old bulldogs. And these one year olds were named Yoda and Whiskey, the bulldogs. Then they took them with them to work and they worked as loggers near Thorn Bay.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay?

[Woody Overton]

And they did it all the time. This was their routine. So when they took the break at around 9.30am, Yoda and Whiskey were nowhere to be found. All right? So they said the dogs are going to work with them every single day since we got them back in June. So it was very uncommon of them to disappear the way they did. That's what Esther said. We were immediately suspicious, but had hoped they would return on their own. And it just took longer and longer. Well, you know, dogs didn't come back at the end, the end of the break and at the end of the work day. Five hours later, Kane and Shane said good and Whiskey were nowhere to be found. He said they were the sweetest dogs you had ever met. They would have jumped in a vehicle with anybody. And I'm still in disbelief. So that night Shane searched the area multiple times. And the pet owners left items of clothing with their smell, right? And that's right. And Yoda and Whiskey's dog beds. And they even left some food they went missing from. Yeah, said we rode around on the quad for days just searching every road, every musket, every trail and they were just gone. So the Martins even went to the extent of putting up flyers and pictures of dogs. And they offered a $500 reward for their safe return. But after two weeks pass, there was nary a lead. Nobody said shit. So they up the ante. Now it's a thousand dollar reward. Okay, we won't Yoda Whiskey bag. Well, weeks later when the wildlife troopers pulled up the pots, the crab pots, just you know, they got checked and make sure they got the name tags. And the open is entrance is the right size everything that we used to do. And when they pulled it up, the dog's remains were inside. Now they compare the photographs and information from the Martin's, Yoda and Whiskey's parents to confirm the animals identities. Now let's talk about that for a second.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

You've been missing for a month and you're in a crab trap. I understand the cold water, they may not have decomposed badly. My only other conclusion, the genius detective I am is crabs don't like principal dogs. Maybe not Louisiana. You put a dog in a crab trap, it'd be gone in a day. Right. So the last state trooper said our investigation is active and ongoing. And they said that troopers are attempting to corroborate information from potential witnesses before releasing to the public. Now the Martins have stepped up their game again. They went from 500 to 1,000. Now they want it's up to $2,500 reward for any information about who might be responsible. And Kane told KRBD that the Bulldogs deaths may have been personal. And it said troopers told me they thought it was some personal. I mean there's only one person on this island that has any kind of vendetta against me at all. It's not even that much that I know of. I mean I've lived here my Whole life. And Esther, the mama right at it, said Yoda and Whiskey were friendly beyond measure. And when I think about just their final moments, I hope it was swift. I can't think too long because they were so sweet and so loved.

[Cindy Overton]

That's horrible. Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, yeah. Stuff in a crab pot, throw them in the bay.

[Cindy Overton]

They should have put the crab pot back and went to see who looked, picked them up.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, you know what? That's. I was thinking. Yeah. Because the dog. I was thinking. I was thinking that. That it was the people's crab pots, but that'd be pretty stupid. I think maybe they just stole the dogs to use for bait, because bait's expensive. It is.

[Cindy Overton]

I know it is, but you could use a French bulldog.

[Woody Overton]

Why not? I mean, I wouldn't swim. Wouldn't.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, Tim, no. I mean, but to me, wildlife people should have just dropped those crab pots back down and watched to see who came back for them.

[Woody Overton]

And I'm pretty sure that criminal is never coming back. Now that I have in my brain. That's not their pots, but they have a buoy in the water. Mother's like, oh, I got canes.

[Cindy Overton]

So why would he.

[Woody Overton]

Just gently. Yes. Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

He was. Okay, okay, okay.

[Woody Overton]

So they never come back.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay, well, you just said I stole them before the bait, because bait's expensive, so.

[Woody Overton]

Well, I was. I was thinking that they may have done that, but obviously they did, and that would be very smart, because if you're going to. I mean, if you're going to use it once and it works, then there would be a whole lot of fucking dogs messing on that island. It wouldn't be a dog running around.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean, I guess that's a way of it not popping up.

[Woody Overton]

Whoever. I told you that joke. The guy loses his little dog like that, and he goes in the restaurant. I want to say, what nationality? And he says, have y'all seen my dog? They said, it is it small, and it was brown in color and had white spots on it. And da, da, da. He said, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. He said he's picking his tea. Toothpicks. Nope, hadn't seen it. All right, that's it. That's enough twisting it for today. We're out of here. I'm Woody Overton.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm Cindy Overton. Help me.

Geico's motorcycle expertise gives me the coverage I need like 24.

[Woody Overton]

Seven claims, I'm on cloud nine. Clouds are wholly unable to support the weight of an adult human.

[Cindy Overton]

What's happening?

[Woody Overton]

Furthermore, clouds are not numbered. Even if you procured a jetpack and searched, you'd find no cloud numbered nine. However, at that altitude, you'd likely befriend a flock of migrating snow geese. Geese who'd encourage you to leave your 24.7geico motorcycle claims insurance behind as they would take you in and even share their dinner of crickets and clovers with you. Geico assumes no liability for any indigestion that may occur from a clover cricket dinner. Geico expertise for your motorcycle.
