try arming, I lost my mind when I heard the yard
here. I am Niger there for a while, but then I didn't know you, Georgians. How many want to become,
In short, our best friends with both working on it or do our very back even through a quarantine and began Democrats will be going to stay in touch with less
I was trying to think when we met here, because I think there is a minor competition between me and net.
To whom he was trying to suddenly claim- and I think I was trainers claim that
I feel leg either of those meetings would have been a wire right, yeah, probably chances are or through
mutual friend who is right for a female friend, though
yeah yeah right- is this guy sermon home? Yes are
ready corner whose writing for who they see. Then all I know is that one time patent Oswald took me to see a play that you start in on the West side, which
I would like to say give it up for me going to I'd. Watch live theatre, crazy, I now, but it was- and I know I've got to you about this already, but it was a play and I believe it was called the secretary or receptionist the reception
yeah and Georgia, when I tell you that Megan Bilali as the best actors of all time, I can't explain what I saw in that, not gigantic
on the West side near a carbon. I need a residence.
It was so fucking good end, real and amazing in it.
Just it was like a may, miss seeing life theater, but then it
so maybe go like you're just on
leave a bleed counted person, Megan headlights just so exciting, etc.
Really nice, I basically officially retired, from
king over the pandemic, and now I've been lured back again, but yes, but you know that I'm glad you saw that play because it will play just a real shore like one sick along one act, a gas. I love that plan.
Probably of all the figure of a regime that might have in my favor real high love chewing at it was so brutally like those set. Almost
to me like an eighties office in our town I and Megan played the receptionist, did
have a name or was just the reception of every lay.
Naturally, Beverly was running. Bang amazed will be turned into like watchful on not in a ninety nine seat. Theatre
Here I mean I you now it's all two guys gonna to real ethics field to bank. Absolutely are a good deal, get right,
if you need a producer live or did you can watch in teaching?
I didn't, have all my watch.
amazing that new ran Murphy thing about ya,
Clinton Mr Monica Lewinsky yeah. It's pretty incredible. The shoe come off as like redeemed as how you treated her well yeah, it's mostly about,
The whole thing between Michael and Scan, Linda Treasure and oh, my god, I'm blinking and her name go Martindale now plays Linda trip. Sir Apposite
Hereupon every award ever invented. Her performance is off the chief. You can recognize her light. They get all these.
prosthetic sense of honor? You literally don't even know it's her its oil.
To write this shall guy. Is it gathers things that are like your cringing? While you are like succession where you're like? Oh, my god, this is making me uncomfortable, but yeah yeah.
I certainly hope that either credible Ryan Murphy's. How can he king that? The thing that you just really wanted,
the see you know like the whole OJ thing and now there
Jason was perfection also. I didn't hear a lot of people talk about ratchet in the way I wanted them to, because that series felt like doing drugs by watching tv. I was like this is the way he set designs.
Like the way it all goes together and like hypnotize as you, it's just you. I think I
I didn't say that it was that it was. It was very you know, and how does he so prolific? He just
yeah shouting at crazy turns it doesn't give a shit. I saw him in a party once and he was wildly courting on jobs.
You're from China Sea John John Collins,
Collins.
he was like high only reaches in areas like laser focused on John Collins, who grand I guess she just something she did
Another. I don't know, I don't watch the scary ones,
the horse, if you should one of those yeah yeah adept on those after the lady Gaga,
even if the hunted hotel. I was just kind of like that
so many things going on here, I can't I'm overwhelmed area. I seen how subjection
Oh no, I haven't seen her son. I just have no energy the track down here. I want to see it
Yet how now liver into my house never never wash air. Well,
Do I can turn I'm game of grounds and that's about it like? I just don't have much else in terms of
only power in my mind right now. I think house have good. She is
already iron Netflix or something oh yeah, totally watch that do not like scary movie.
he's and scary shows and start now that I have a very scary murder to talk to you.
I'm not scared. I I'm not scared of talking, so you can do true crime, but not like the carriage about you stuff
yeah we watch alot of lay
Ukraine, documentaries and starve, or not a lot, but we watch the ones that we hear the good beer and I've gone to periods of like getting sucked into debt
dying lines you now I very soothing at night. You haven't, I begin sometimes, unlike all day light like I don't even want to see at it scares me
think about it. It's very intense in, but I like your podcast, because because I like you guys like hearing about you now we break its you kind of gently yeah, yeah right. It's a little. Moreover, we're sitting around the kitchen table trying to just trying to tell you stuff, we think.
need to now hardly that's important information you have given
Orson has a different approach. It hits you harder, I think, said the voice,
eyes amendment that his voice, his life is that boys, so hammy super narrator he's like the ultimate narrator. I know it's so over the top who does who just shares, because that one is also
I also add that, like syndicated show where they would catch people and narrow it as a whole
Leslie hear me? I might be that same guy, I gotta hear shooters. He vanished Georgia's coming in with the.
Here I go Joey Greco assigned him.
as the house and then there was a
actual narrator. He got beaten up by one of the things he bunk. I've got relate only being not like throwing around like a fucking rag doll on why the episodes, and then he caught fish
and they got somebody else. My guy that's show me. I couldn't watch had after a little while was just like such a pressing as also hard enough to do man on the street,
style kind of pseudo new show like that. That's a lot of work without being threatened. Personally, like that's ridiculous, I feel like I've seen over, says about that. I faked yes,
oh yeah, where he found the people were like. Oh no, you caught us now. We want to be on tv,
everyday air turned shooting out to carry out their airlines. The only thing that makes you think it's not stages is people just locally total ass, so
Maybe it's me ass. I think I was before we realize you. Could google anything and anyone's name for the rest of their lives? It'll show up like a job interview like hey, you aren't cheaters the
permanence of online two march. Really, truly, we talk for one second about how their rebooted,
party down and how that's what America needs right now, yeah, I'm so excited about that, because
I guess it's a great show in its they writings great, but it's nice
first cast in the history of an producers nice
people in the world and am yeah really look forward to that, because you know that you're a pallet club,
I'm sorry, I can't believe I just thought it was an on since two thousand and ten which fills impossible, but I think it's just because we ve gone back to re watcher yeah somebody frequent, because it's just
like a yelling streaming layer keeps coming back when you're like a way. I can watch it again, yeah yeah. It was right after I did that play that you saw here. That's
really you I want to do that term. Do you think the receptionist got you on thirty families to get at the kind of muscle? I started a black tone, Awake Adam Scots, one of the first people I met.
In LOS Angeles, when I moved to town he was an acting class with my roommate. So he would hang out sometimes like that was her other group of friends. When we were all you know, feeling are less angels oats. He just seem like a regular guy. Was super nice, any really loved. Mr shows, why would get him into the MR show parties? So we kind of bonded forever, and then I guess
watched him, like just skyrocket, into major fame and who he's like the most deserving wonderful person he's the best yeah he's such a great guy,
can Marino. I mean every beyond that shows so great Martin, STAR, yeah, Lizzie Kaplan can't deal by everybody else came back and Jane.
still, of course, could season yeah, oh my god, I've seen
this is not an irish second seas are not playing a role that remain. Are all that Kiev to fill the gap that thing you sold. You know
she's, great and so exciting. Very exciting would definitely to talk about that. What happens on? Ok, you wanna tell us your hometown.
Ok, I think it's really deadline and raise a crazy. It's grouse. It's really bad! Mrs pack- has supported by glass door to say the workplace has changed, would be an understatement, we're all in a completely new territory, with jobs being quitting
your numbers and the new shift to remote work. Everyone is taken their careers into their own hands. Asking you questions.
And considering more options, and it's about time eye glass door. We see the workplace as a work in progress. Progress were helping, bring about glass door has always stood for transparent,
in the workplace. That's why we shall you salaries, reviews and ratings for companies. You care about proven. More transparency are new tools. Let you filter results,
gender or race and ethnicity blast, or gives you the insight on what
really like to work somewhere before you apply, ask questions anonymously and get answers from real people at companies
radar, we ve come a long way in the workplace, but this is only just beginning,
or in our creating a more transparent workplace at last or dot com, slash progress, so I went to a private school and uncle
I very small, like when I graduated from high school, or only like sixty nine people,
graduating class. If Nick hurt me
the word sixty nine
go just as it comes in front of us,
and I went there from first grade through ice cold, but I think seventh grade this, I don't wanna say the person's name, because I moments
this was a boy or girl, because some really really nice person was always France, so that this person comes into the school and proves themselves
an extremely nice person who very
shy and very sweet, but kind of in the popular group
a way, not that I was, but they were and really sweet and remain so to this debt. So
Nineteen, eighty five
when we were. I think I was twenty six, so limited, backstory first, so the crime happened. I Jane five, but when we were still in high school, your Polly sophomores and high
war. This person's parents got a divorce, and I dont remember even hearing about that really
Maybe I am, he made a vaguely do, but there are no
details. There was nothing well. It turns out that the reason that they got a divorce was that my friends Father had taken up with the baby sitter, who was fourteen
and so when she was fifteen or sixteen they got married
and they were married from assign yours. They had two kids and then
in nineteen. Eighty five, so the guy was a geologist.
He was now reasonably upper mental classic, regionally wildlife and there was a
we'll burn in the late seven days, so he was making good money and he put her through a high school college and dramas cool well away. I forgot to say when they met
She was fourteen, and he was forty five
so in eighty five,
the marriage was on the rocks. They were getting a divorce. He had accused her of embezzling money from his oil exe.
Russian company that he had, whether that's true or not. I have.
Gee? I don't think it was so what I heard specifically, I remember this. Then
Thirdly, from a mother who had told me this was that she does
I did that she wanted to move to New York, in addition for Broadway shows, because she was twenty
I'm and she had taken her. She went to drama school and she was doing theatre locally in Oklahoma City, which honestly like back. Then there was
some good theatre? There are none of their size or not, probably- or I think there s
surprisingly more than you think,
so they
were about to get a divorce.
but they were still living together and on a certain morning like in May of nineteen eighty five, he took the kids out of the house in the morning. There
Some work men or working around who reported the Slayer shut these kids.
and then came back to the house, not too long after that, and then it around ten. I am, he comes to the back door of the house, any yells out the workmen call the fire department, an ambulance, so the fire fire
There are the house completely on fire
they go and they go to the upstairs bedroom, which is common,
fire and they find this girl. This is like them
disturbing image
draped over a couch in
over ninety five percent of her body. The only thing not burns a small area on the chopper had ok so,
she's still alive? Oh that's! So the guy, the father of my friend, is this. We friends father my friend who's the sweet as nice, as per
and the world and totally like why, Adam anyway, they find that fathers also been burned honours
arms and his chest and his face. They find the bathtub over two thirds full of water. Are there are bits of clothing, floating
looks, appears to have been used so
get the girl chill the hospital and they ask for questions he says so the guy they find on. You know not not right that men are, but I guess they found a Gascon,
and then they found flammable liquids on the floor and stuff
the father. My friend says that it was the suicide, become so
to burn some Sami. Like you, if you're a monk- and I don't know- but not people don't do that, and their accounts of them like having fights and she had told
a father and a friend ten days earlier that he threatened her with a gun and all the stuff. So I guess in the hospital- and she can
talk, but she not yes or no like was it soon,
side. Now Jenny, Tredick wasn't here. You know your husband. Yes all that, but then this is the craziest. So horrible answer
she wrote with one finger. She spelled out with one finger on the bad sheet
the man's name.
on the blank poured gas on me
then I wrapped in a blanket she tried to wrap or somethin a blanket put out the fire
and then she died two days later. So then the coroner's report
that he had her on the head and then
are on fire and then
He caught fire for a minute and pet, it that out and many trade
burn the whole house down to cover it up in any way. Can
First, you re murder and our sun and the first degree sentenced to life in prison and then, after about nine years in prison, you die of cancer, but he died in prison and is
sons tried that petition that get him out till it he didn't have to die in prison, but now a son, I met his eye Dinah nineteen. Ninety four, I was gonna say, has poor kids, but
just what I when a man yeah.
your stand higher. Now we're just
through that that that is somehow has also knowing that he took the kids out, there's like a presence
mind there right, that's so chilling. I
I now and if its wearer, like in Oklahoma City, because thats, not the only friend of mine whose father said the house on fire with
The family members inside chilling to
killing the mother anna- and I think a brother
in May, and that is another person in my grade in my class of sixty nine people too
I have another friend whose father was a sign.
go analyzed or something, and he was like supposedly performing experiments on his wife, any major drank round neuron, among other things. So us, like a crate
wow moment now for such a small school. That is
That's crazy, yeah, yeah! Well, there's nothing else to do. Can I ask? Was it a catholic school now
and fiscal squalid, just really religious wrong beyond a basic those are like guitar mass I went to Episcopal camp, it was so Lucy Josie. I was like this is a religion for me, that's a good one. I can but had to explain something there
it had been a catholic school dispute settlement later now. I'm I'm looking for answers this the kind of putting words like so awful and tragic, and then it's not singular like arise beyond so what's the pattern? Is there
like a portal to hell and opening the city I dont know. I honestly think that I mean up until recently. There really wasn't very much to do and there weren't any good
restaurants really event or anything, so I headed all there was to do better.
Secondly was drank and cheat on your spouse
drink and drive and should clarify until your spouse. You don't you go caps. Were I think leap I mean I I just remember. Everybody had
using to go up like that, you hook on your shoulder, your car. I mean the window guard the driver, Sidewinder your car,
So I don't know, I'm not really sure those drive through liquor stores. I I ennobling from Southern California, the first some ass I was. I went to visit a friend in Florida and I was like what are you talking about the unlikely that
through slushy alcohol are shot of ever clearer. That I was like
You got it like manager, time time, trust you hang out somewhere, you can't Marguerite avail Ray you have to get a girl. I shall also I've never heard of more people being sent to prison ban.
I don't know anybody in LOS Angeles has been sent to prison, but in Oklahoma City there a lot of people, and I think it's because it's its oil and gas town and people have a lot of
money I mean hopefully not for lie. I I love
on the city, but I'm just saying like, and we need to get rid of all
electric cars etc, but am I mean I hope they all find another great job or they may go on my, but you know people.
live in this. You know, I don't know, there's a lot of money in that are really high. I think there is a lot of white collar. Crime means really really crazy. Why that is so? Sharks sunshine,
king. When did you leave Oklahoma City like right at of after high school
seventy seven. Now it was a borderline, nighttime, soap opera. I mean like that,
kind of totally leg. I bet you there's enough was the eighty
and people had many. I bet there's a little cocaine mixed in ants you maybe now I'll everybody. Everybody was alcoholic and maybe still on
yeah? Everything is alcoholic, and I mean all of my parents, friends, my father, you know just crazy drinking
yeah, I'm scared smoking lights and I was like mad man. Ass bad now got all spanking with its oil Derek out the window.
This is the same thing, indifferent business, but the seriously the same set of Israeli, but my mom is to call a pagan place, which was the first some opera back and like the fifties recently and the cheating that adultery was off the hook like you couldn't even keep track with us.
our current immediate, was well yeah. I like it just more expects pure boredom, probably right like that
sounds like the wild west. The other palaces aboard a mixed with alcohol and
I'll do it, and then we have a bit of a kind of a cowboy
It sensibility like Livin Livin. For my part, I mean yeah, I guess
in that regard here, but I mean it was also the kind of thing where it was part of town or a rebellious trying a hat beyond the social spectrum. You know the answers. I lotta people with money, Eulogium Big, you should see the houses in this part of our common say. I mean I ve, never seen
and neighbor had two rival
the in saying it is- I mean, and the lights are like you know four
eight percent there just try again just these big houses and yeah. So still
on oil money oil as loyal. I you know I was alive, but a lot of stout ass status seeking
so Shaw.
Cleaning and luckily got out of there and came to Holly.
what we can do so by it.
Again like everybody. We know here is so like normal.
We don't know anybody you just drugs. Even I mean
hi I'm more right. He had not nothing nobody line on well, I feel, like it said, town of people who had the wherewithal to leave their crazy home town
immediately em out of sight, lovely its those people congregated than normal people from their crazy out town. I got out yeah when a person is China's. Twenty six in the eighties,
It's like if there ever was a kid who
I was trying to do that. Train a bee, Holly were alike.
Hardy alert, we're all like well like they were always like not,
you don't wanna be around them. You know why, because most people are really serious about being here and trying to like, if you ve taken the time and risen to some level to actually get here. To think that you have a chance than most people are treat what they're doing pretty seriously and it's like you have to go to bed eleven, because I have to get up and do stuff tomorrow leg. You know I'm gonna. It took me a while to learn that the arms, like buyers, nine, these bar inside out of my way,
but that is largely had a job I was like. Oh, I can't do anything. I can do anything anymore, yeah yeah, there's nothing harder than working. I,
