0:42
Rabia. Hey Ellen, how you
0:44
doing? You're looking glowing. You're
0:46
looking gorgeous too. You know what I
0:48
did yesterday Ellen? Ayahuasca. I went to
0:50
a Korean spa. No, but I
0:53
want to. I went to a Korean spa with two friends
0:55
for their birthdays and the
0:57
sauna that's like 400 degrees, right? It's like 390.
1:04
I went back and forth between that and the ice room
1:06
over and over and over. I'm
1:08
like, this is why I'm glowing. I'm telling you. It
1:10
was so good. It was so good. Well two things.
1:12
Number one, I'm mad you went without
1:14
me because we were supposed to go to a Korean spa.
1:16
We are still doing it. But
1:19
have you done the plunge? The hot and
1:21
cold plunge? No, I didn't. I didn't do
1:23
any of the water stuff yesterday. I just
1:25
wasn't like... You're not into water sports? No,
1:27
it's not. I would do it.
1:30
But also the entire area where
1:32
all the water stuff is, you have to
1:34
be completely buck naked. I just can't bring...
1:36
I mean, I might do
1:38
that if there's like... I'm surrounded by strangers, but with
1:40
friends I'm like, I just... it's too... I don't know.
1:42
Oh, really? Yeah. I'll
1:45
wear a two-piece, but I'm not gonna be like... I
1:47
know it's all women, but it doesn't even the point.
1:49
I just... and one of my other friends was
1:51
like, whatever, she'll get buck naked in front of anybody.
1:53
But the third friend was like, no, I don't either.
1:55
So we just stuck to the sauna. We got massages,
1:57
though. I got a really, really good massage. Name
2:00

Robbie and I are going to bring

4:00
us or piqued our attention or that we
4:03
want you to have more focus on and
4:06
we just throw it out there. How many cases
4:08
do you have today? I actually, so I have
4:10
like three stories I'm going to
4:12
talk about and then in two of
4:14
the stories there's actually
4:17
two cases that are not related.
4:19
It was a one-word answer. It
4:21
was a one-word answer. How
4:24
many cases do you have, Rabia? Four. No, four.
4:27
But two are kind of related by the
4:29
same theme. That's what I'm trying to explain
4:31
but it's only you'd let me
4:33
finish my sentences. No, but it's very, you
4:35
know, it's the lawyer in you. Very hard
4:38
to work under these conditions. How many do you
4:40
have? 72. Okay. I
4:44
have two. That's what this show started
4:47
as. It started as us each bringing
4:49
two. I can also talk
4:51
about the truth. Show me the
4:53
contract. How have I had COVID
4:55
two times in like nine weeks?
4:58
I've had it once in the last four years so I'm doing
5:00
well. You're not better than me. Look
5:03
at your beanie. My immune system might be. I
5:07
just need to stop making out with
5:09
strangers. Yeah, stop licking people.
5:14
And doorknobs. Eww.
5:18
That's gross. The strangers are worse but okay.
5:20
I'll start then because I got more so
5:22
I mean you want me to go? Yeah,
5:24
Renee from Australia has never had COVID.
5:27
Because Renee is surrounded by wild animals
5:29
that could eat her but no people.
5:31
Yeah, exactly what I'm guessing. But
5:35
I have a bad attitude.
5:37
So it is
5:41
not curable. It turns out I
5:43
tested positive for being a
5:46
cunt. Do
5:49
you have any of those kits left? Because I've got to use them
5:51
on a few other people I know. Here,
5:54
can you just swab your nose with this
5:56
COVID? No, cunt. There we go. So,
6:00
swap it, swap it. All
6:03
right. All right. Okay,
6:07
so this first story, actually I didn't even
6:09
hear about this until this week, even though
6:11
it's been ongoing for what, now four years
6:13
at least. But I guess I heard about
6:15
it now because the authorities are kind of turning the screws
6:17
on these folks. So there, this
6:20
comes out of Oklahoma. And
6:22
in 2019, this woman and her two
6:24
parents were killed while they were in
6:26
their homes. Forty-three year old Tiffany Eicher
6:28
and her 65 year old father, Jack
6:30
Chandler, and his wife Evelyn Chandler, her
6:32
mother, were all shot and killed in their home on
6:34
September 7, 2019. Horrific crime, especially, I
6:36
mean, because Tiffany was like outside her,
6:38
she was like in the hallway outside
6:40
her bedroom. She tried to run. Her
6:43
mom tried to hide. I mean, like it
6:45
was, it was bad, right? And they were,
6:47
they were killed. There were two different weapons
6:50
involved apparently. Well, surprise, her ex was arrested,
6:52
but not just her ex. Her
6:54
ex's lawyer also was arrested
6:56
because his criminal defense attorney, who is
6:59
now his lover, apparently helped
7:01
mastermind, yeah, this
7:04
crime. This woman is crazy. This is
7:06
the thing, you know, when you say, oh, somebody's a
7:08
lawyer, I mean, they're just crazy. I mean,
7:10
like crazy doctors, crazy lawyers, like it kind of means nothing. I
7:12
mean, so anyhow, her name's
7:14
Keegan Harrows. She is, she was
7:16
a criminal defense attorney. She
7:19
started representing her, this
7:21
guy, Barry Ronald Titus in different charges
7:23
and drug and firearm charges in 2018.
7:26
So a year before she started representing him on these
7:28
different charges, then they got romantically
7:31
involved. And then she's like, we got
7:33
to take out your ex, even though
7:35
it was an ex, but the ex was going
7:37
to testify against him in this
7:39
other, in these other charges. So
7:41
she comes up with this scheme
7:44
to murder the ex and
7:46
her parents. And apparently this
7:48
woman, Keegan Harrows, this attorney, she's
7:50
got some issues. She in
7:52
2014 had been arrested on assault and battery
7:54
charge against her ex. Apparently
7:57
she had kicked him twice in the face and
7:59
he had like blood
8:01
on his face, swollen lumps,
8:03
abrasion, bridge of his nose, cheek. I
8:05
mean, you know, the officers who responded
8:08
reported like these injuries to him. And
8:10
like you kick somebody on their face when they're
8:12
on the ground or something. Like otherwise you've got
8:15
to do like a roundhouse kick in the air,
8:17
right? Like, I mean, like that's pretty brutal, kicking
8:19
somebody in the face. But she somehow continues
8:22
to keep her law license after that.
8:24
She also has difficulty keeping boundaries in
8:26
the workplace, not because of this relationship
8:28
with her client, but also because her former
8:30
law partner was also her lover, David
8:33
Bedford. And David was like,
8:35
I tried to tell the Bar Association. Nobody paid
8:37
attention to me that she crazy. And a few
8:39
months later, she killed
8:41
this, helped kill these people. Now
8:44
her and her lover have not turned against
8:46
each other yet, which is interesting to me because it's been a few
8:48
years. Usually under
8:50
the pressure of time, people will, but they might
8:53
now because the authorities are like,
8:55
we're going after the death penalty. Oklahoma
8:57
still has a death penalty and they want
9:00
to pursue the death penalty in this case.
9:02
So they're getting pretty serious and they have
9:04
both pleaded not guilty, but
9:07
it's not looking good because there
9:09
was surveillance outside the house and
9:12
the surveillance cameras caught this car pulling
9:14
up, which looks just like the guy's
9:16
car, two people getting out and
9:20
cutting the electricity to shut off the surveillance
9:22
system. Okay. So that's actually captured
9:24
on the surveillance. And they kicked down
9:26
a door in the house, shot
9:28
them with a couple of weapons, except the weapons
9:30
were traced to the attorney because
9:33
her brother called the authorities and said,
9:35
by the way, my, this rifle is my sister's
9:37
and I think she was involved
9:39
in these murders. They also found
9:41
the guy who sold her the gun, the
9:44
casings from the crime scene match the guns
9:46
and they found DNA on, uh, the
9:49
crime scene that matched the guy. So I don't
9:51
know who's advising them to plead not guilty, but
9:53
I'm thinking they are probably holding. I
9:55
mean, I'm hope I don't know. I mean, if, if I was a defense counsel,
9:57
I'd be like, let's hope for a plea deal. But
10:01
I don't think, if I was a prosecutor, I
10:03
would not be asking for a plea. I mean, they've
10:05
got them dead to rights here. The trials
10:07
begin next year. Let's see
10:09
what happens. So even though this case happened
10:11
in 2019, like I said, I
10:13
hadn't heard of it, but also just I think
10:15
fairly recently the authorities have announced that they're like,
10:18
no, we're going to death penalty here. Wow.
10:20
Yeah, that's my first one. I
10:23
mean, ineffective assistance of counsel at its worst,
10:25
right? I think. Yeah. And
10:28
then the Burns-Raffae case when his
10:31
lawyer and him were
10:33
knocking boots in the... I
10:36
was going to make a vulgar hand gesture, but then
10:38
I didn't know what to make. Yeah.
10:41
Wow. Yeah. I
10:43
feel like this is not that uncommon. I
10:45
feel like it's... And I think it happens with
10:47
therapists too, because lawyers do a lot. I mean, a
10:49
lot of times with my clients, I'd feel like a
10:51
therapist because you're... They always
10:53
come with you with horrific personal problems that are
10:56
translated into whatever legal issues, but there's
10:58
always personal stuff, so you end up
11:00
counseling them. So I just feel like it creates
11:02
this weird intimacy and you
11:05
just have to be so careful and boundaried. Yeah.
11:08
I mean, there is a slight bit of
11:10
a difference between emotional intimacy and then taking
11:14
your beef bus and parking it in her depot.
11:16
Okay. I want somebody in our
11:18
dairy box to collect into
11:20
a book all the
11:22
euphemisms that this woman knows for...
11:25
Joey, I know. All I know is knocking boots.
11:27
That's it. That's all I know. I
11:30
know nothing else, because I'm from the 80s and 90s.
11:32
Today on Shut the Fuck Up, Nick Lachey, I said
11:35
Daisy's favorite, which is mashing
11:37
your pissers. That's good. Ew.
11:41
Oh, God. Oh, God. I've never heard
11:43
that before. I just... My pure brain
11:45
and my... You don't have a pure brain,
11:47
Raviya. I have never heard that before.
11:50
My pure brain, she says.
11:53
My pure brain. Do not read you my people.
11:55
You're the sole of a three-year-old angel, okay? Do
11:58
not lead these nice people. astray
12:02
My my innocent brain
12:04
I've never heard of this
12:07
actual Talking
12:10
I am me ma. I am me ma Okay,
12:12
like I said the other day when we were
12:14
just last night we were recording our
12:16
our episode for I
12:18
guess January We never said
12:21
before pregnant in my home growing up. I I'm telling I've
12:24
Grown up in a bubble. I was you grow up
12:26
on the set of I love Lucy Because
12:29
they didn't my more liberal. Yeah, they
12:31
didn't know either Remember
12:33
Lucy and Ricky had the separate beds.
12:35
Yeah. Yeah that made total sense to
12:38
me It was like those two women
12:40
in that documentary those two old. What
12:42
was that documentary called? It was the
12:44
women that live their life
12:46
in love with each other and they played
12:48
the bass What was that documentary called? I
12:50
don't know somebody tell us that was precious
12:54
One of the things that makes me craziest I mean like
12:56
for those of us who are trying to take better care of
12:58
ourselves Take things are just good for
13:00
you But are helpful to you is learning
13:03
later like years later that oh your body
13:05
can't actually absorb such and such I mean I
13:07
have heard for years how so
13:09
many supplements and other things we take like
13:11
are it just passed right through your body But
13:14
that's why I was really excited to hear
13:16
that next Evo does not and will not
13:19
do that Yeah, our bodies just doesn't absorb
13:21
CBD oil So you
13:23
could be absorbing as little as six
13:25
percent of what is on the label
13:28
I don't that is infuriating because you're
13:30
paying good money for stuff next evil
13:32
naturals has Developed a
13:34
water soluble form of CBD
13:37
It has been clinically tested
13:39
multiple times and it is
13:41
proven to work faster and
13:43
absorb four times better So you
13:45
can stay calmer or sleep better. The
13:48
sleep is my favorite because we
13:50
all need to sleep We're all stressed. We all
13:52
have a million things running through our mind But
13:55
why would you take something and spend it if it's
13:57
not actually gonna work and help you? Yeah, I mean
14:00
Obviously see but he cannot work until and unless
14:02
it actually gets in your body. And only next
14:04
evil has proven that their all natural dummies and
14:06
capsules. Absorbs four times better than
14:09
most oil. These products. And
14:11
here's the thing. There are so many
14:13
choices of C B D right now

Alabama. Oh God, Alabama. It's
16:39
December 2nd in Reform,
16:41
Alabama. A 24 year old
16:44

16:46
Micah Washington is changing his

tire. He is
16:50
black. Black man changing his tire. Oh,

and the worldwide webs, he
17:10
says, am I being detained

respective counties, blah, blah,
17:33
blah, may stop any
17:35
person in a public place
17:37
who they reasonably suspect is
17:39
committing, has committed or is
17:42
about to commit a felony
17:44
or public offense may demand
17:46
his name and explanation
17:49
of his actions, but
17:52
it does not give them the
17:54
right to require identification.
17:57
And on top of that, they have to.
18:00
identify what crime has been
18:02
committed. She did none of
18:04
those things. And there
18:06
was no reasonable suspicion that this man
18:08
had done anything wrong. I feel like
18:10
I know where this is gonna go,
18:12
okay. Therefore, had no right to ask
18:14
him. So, he took
18:16
out his phone and began
18:18
recording. That is when Officer
18:21
Dana Elmore used her stun
18:23
gun and
18:25
his phone falls to the ground. She
18:28
kept him on the ground, handcuffed
18:30
him while on the ground. Now,
18:33
another video starts and
18:36
it begins with Elmore ordering
18:39
him to stand up after
18:41
he was handcuffed. And
18:43
I would like to show you that video right now. He's
18:48
on the ground, he is handcuffed. Right there on the
18:50
floor of the car. Right
18:56
there on the floor of the car. That
19:04
ain't doin' good, right there, right there. I'm
19:06
not doin' it. Oh yeah, that's a firearm.
19:08
I'm just gonna owe you a phone. Oh
19:10
my God! Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm
19:12
gonna do it on my phone. Oh my
19:14
God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh
19:16
my God. Oh
19:20
my God. You
19:25
want it again? No, no, no, it
19:27
was big and big. Oh
19:31
my God. That's not even the worst,
19:33
that's not even the worst. Hang on,
19:35
okay. So,
19:37
she tells him to lay down on the
19:39
vehicle. He does, he complies with everything. He
19:41
says, no ma'am, she
19:44
did not know that Micah's
19:46
brother was recording this, okay?
19:49
So, the recording was just
19:51
made available and they
19:53
show everything you just saw. She deployed
19:55
her stun gun to
19:57
when he pulled out his phone and then as you
19:59
saw, saw deployed it again right
20:02
into his back. Now
20:04
this is where it gets even fucking crazier.
20:07
The arrest affidavit signed
20:09
by Officer Dana Elmore
20:11
accuses Washington of the
20:13
following offenses obstructing
20:15
government operations resisting
20:18
arrest possession
20:20
of marijuana
20:23
trafficking fentanyl
20:27
and a felon in possession of
20:29
a firearm and his bail was
20:31
set at half a million dollars.
20:34
Here's the gag. He's
20:36
not a fucking felon. He
20:39
has no criminal history.
20:41
Okay, they tried to
20:43
frame him and this is what people
20:45
are not talking enough about. She
20:48
says because she did
20:50
not know that was being recorded that
20:53
she pulled fentanyl out
20:56
of his pocket after the gun. Did
20:59
you see anything come out of his pocket after the
21:01
gun? Because she tased
21:03
him after she got
21:05
the gun out and he
21:08
has never been a felon. He did have
21:10
a gun. He had a
21:12
firearm, a legal register. We're in
21:15
Alabama. Yeah, okay. So all
21:17
the charges have been dropped. They made
21:19
a statement that confirmed that he indeed
21:21
is not a felon, that
21:24
the gun he had was legal
21:27
and he was released from jail on
21:29
Tuesday. Now here's
21:32
my question before we
21:34
get into this conversation. This is a
21:36
legal question and I couldn't quite find
21:38
a definitive answer. If
21:41
someone is detained and
21:43
she knowingly tased him for
21:46
the sheer purpose of inducing
21:49
pain because why else was
21:52
she tasing him? He was in no threat
21:55
to her. Is
21:57
that considered torture? I don't,
21:59
it's not. I wouldn't say it's legally considered torture,
22:01
but I would say that this
22:03
grounds for definitely a civil lawsuit.
22:05
I mean, the sad thing is he
22:07
probably, there's no criminal charges that
22:10
would arise from this
22:12
because officers don't ever get charged with anything. Everything
22:14
is always like, you know... But you're
22:16
lying on the affidavit.
22:19
And the extreme part, I mean,
22:21
that is absolutely a fucking
22:23
bad cop. And I just had
22:25
someone slide into my DMs the
22:28
other day, and this is
22:30
what I say, I am fucking sick of it. Because
22:33
when cops are good cops, I say
22:35
they're good cops. But what do you
22:37
want me to say about that? That
22:39
woman is sick. She is racist. She
22:41
is angry. She is a bad cop.
22:44
And the... She's a shit human being. There's nothing a
22:46
good cop hates more than a fucking bad cop. Here's
22:48
the thing, that's not the first time Dana did that
22:50
shit. You know that, right? That's
22:53
the first time it was caught on camera. 100%.
22:56
100%. And that's why when people would
22:58
say, oh no, it would
23:00
take a conspiracy of an
23:02
entire department. No. One officer
23:05
over the course of their career, one
23:07
bad officer, can hurt thousands of
23:09
people. Just imagine if this video had not
23:11
been captured. A half million dollars
23:13
bail. Who can make that? I can't make that.
23:15
Can you make that? Even 10% of that. Who
23:17
can make 10% of that? That would be that
23:19
man losing his income, his house. People
23:22
cannot provide for their families
23:24
anymore. Just awaiting trial, which
23:26
could take years to get to. If there
23:28
wasn't that video, I mean, my God, she
23:30
did everything to ruin his life. She could
23:33
have killed him. Even a
23:35
stun gun can kill people. Over 400 people died
23:37
by Taser's stun gun in 2023 at the hands of cops.
23:45
I mean, so he's 20 million dollars. I
23:48
was going to say, threw them into the
23:50
ground. 20 million dollars. I
23:52
was like, fucking double it and
23:54
add a zero, baby. Yeah, because
23:56
I guess there are just add
23:58
to the list of. what black
24:00
people can't do, changing a fucking
24:03
tire. Yeah. Changing a tire. I
24:05
mean, yeah, sue them into the ground, but also
24:07
get out of the county. I mean, honestly, like
24:09
I don't, I do not, I mean,
24:12
when I think about like the Stephen Avery case, which
24:14
I know people have different opinions about, but even with
24:16
a non-wanted non-gad out, I'm like, Adnan, you can't stay
24:18
in Baltimore City. You can't stay in that jurisdiction, because
24:20
these departments, like they're, it is generational,
24:22
they will carry that shit and they will
24:24
find a reason to come
24:26
after you and hurt you. But I hope he gets
24:29
out of there and lays low, because
24:31
I would not trust for a second him getting
24:34
pulled. I'm like, anything could happen to this
24:36
poor guy. You could dissect so many parts,
24:38
show me so many parts of this, show
24:40
me one time where he looked
24:42
like for a second that
24:44
he was resisting arrest. Yeah.
24:47
It is so- When did this happen? Did
24:49
it happen recently? December 2nd. Oh,
24:52
okay. December 2nd, he was- Okay, I wasn't sure, because I'm
24:54
like, thank God he didn't spend too much time in jail.
24:57
She is on administrative paid leave, of
24:59
course. Of course. Of course
25:01
she is. She'll go away with her pension.
25:03
She can't be sued personally, because she was
25:05
the whatever working in her, as
25:09
an official of the state. She is disgusting. I
25:11
hope that you are on the Patreon, Dana
25:14
Elmore, and I hope you pull your subscription,
25:16
because you're so mad at us. You're gross.
25:18
You're disgusting. Dana would not, she
25:20
would not be a patron of us. You,
25:23
but it's these people. Why
25:25
are you guys so mad at cops? Because of Dana
25:27
Elmore. Because of people like
25:30
Dana Elmore, with internalized racism that
25:32
saw a black man changing attire,
25:34
and thought he was up to
25:36
something. And here's the thing, you
25:38
have the absolute right to say,
25:41
am I being detained for a crime? That is a
25:43
question she has to answer. I couldn't see the video
25:45
real clearly, but she looks older, so I feel
25:47
like she's got an entire career in law enforcement. This
25:50
is not like somebody who's new on the job, which
25:53
means that I can guarantee that
25:55
she has colleagues who know exactly how she is,
25:57
and how she operates, and the fact she's racist.
26:00
And it's not just about Dana, it's about all the
26:02
people that protect the Dana's, you know, and who will
26:04
not hold her accountable. So I'm really curious to see
26:06
how the county and how they're going to handle this
26:08
going forward. They would be smart to be like,
26:11
she's getting fired and you're getting your settlement. I hope
26:13
he gets every penny of that $20
26:16
million and then they give $20 million
26:18
to the brother for recording it. And
26:21
it is absolutely confirmed that she had
26:23
no idea that that man was
26:25
recording. Yeah. Renee, why
26:27
are you going from Australia to Alabama for
26:30
your holidays? This makes no sense to me.
26:32
Anyway, I know everybody wants to go to
26:34
Alabama to kick a stink, I think. Oh,
26:37
I see. Oh, I see. Poor Josh is there. Josh
26:39
is just there in Alabama trying
26:41
to hold down the fort fighting the good
26:44
fight. Sorry, Josh. Poor Josh. Oh
26:47
God, what an awful story. But thank God
26:49
for that brother. And I can't imagine the
26:51
fear he must have felt because he had
26:53
to be, he had to
26:55
keep his cool and make sure she didn't
26:57
know he's recording and also be like, please don't kill
26:59
my brother. Please don't kill my brother. Because she was
27:01
looking for a reason to kill that man. She really was.
27:04
She really was. Fuck her. What
27:07
a piece of shit. Where
27:09
do you sweat, Ellen? I'm not
27:11
a sweater, but the mirror
27:14
and sheer fear of the
27:16
sweat makes this next product
27:18
one of my favorite things. And that is
27:20
Lumi. Where do you sweat, Raviya? Well, because
27:22
you go to the gym. I
27:25
do. I work out in case you don't know. Yeah.
27:28
And, and, but, you know, like sometimes you don't actually
27:30
have to, you don't have to be that person that
27:32
just like pours sweat. We all get a little funky
27:34
over time. You can be traveling. The sun settles in
27:36
after like a few hours after your shower, whatever. But
27:40
yeah, that's why we love Lumi. Lumi's got you covered. Lumi
27:43
is pretty game changing because
27:45
they have this whole body deodorant
27:47
and it was made and designed
27:49
by an OBGYN and it works
27:52
on your pits, your feet, your
27:54
thighs, your butts, Any
27:56
little crevice that there can be sweat and
27:58
a little funk. Of got
28:00
you covered. I mean under boobs. I
28:02
mean like they're all kinds of places
28:05
Nobody who may deodorant ever thought about
28:07
until Looney because it was created when
28:09
Lbg. Why? And who saw first hand
28:11
how normal dia was being misdiagnosed in
28:13
this treated right and Looming has been
28:16
clinically proven to block odors for over
28:18
seventy two hours? And so I gotta
28:20
say, when I travel, I travel with
28:22
those little wipes. Yeah, it's like a
28:24
little were freshmen and it's Ph balanced
28:26
baking soda free pair of been free
28:29
and also. Made. By a woman
28:31

30:12
the other day, you were telling me how
30:14
much you love CoPilot and how it helps
30:16
you at the gym and at home. So
30:18
now tell our listeners. Well, here's the thing.
30:20
I spent years trying to get myself motivated,
30:23
trying to understand what was right for my
30:25
body, what kind of exercises to do. Honestly,
30:27
when people ask me how I did it,
30:29
I was not able to do it without
30:31
the help of a professional, a
30:33
professional trainer. And what I love
30:35
about CoPilot is that it is
30:37
a personalized fitness solution. It links
30:39
you with real life, affordable fitness
30:41
coaches who customize workouts tailored to
30:43
your individual needs and goals. And
30:45
for five years, I have been
30:47
using fitness coaches. I can't do
30:49
it without them. I actually think
30:51
it's really great because everybody is
30:53
different. Everybody is unique. Everyone, some
30:55
people want cardio, no cardio, lightweights.
30:57
So every individual fitness journey is
30:59
unique. And I love that about
31:01
CoPilot. And it makes it easy
31:03
because you can work out from
31:05
anywhere. We're so busy. You're in
31:08
a hotel room, you're in an
31:10
airport bathroom, wherever you are, you're at
31:12
your mother-in-law's house. CoPilot will make
31:14
it happen. And I just
31:16
think that's amazing. Yeah. I mean, like the value
31:19
of having a fitness professional at your fingertips over
31:21
an app who's going to customize your workout no
31:23
matter where you happen to be. I can't even
31:25
tell you. People have injuries. People have all kinds
31:27
of... I woke up... Sometimes you wake up sore
31:30
and you're like, all right, okay, now you tell
31:32
me what I'm supposed to do so I don't
31:34
injure myself. That's why you want a professional. Well,

32:21
So I have two stories
32:23
that are only connected
32:25
because these are crimes that
32:27
took place because of like
32:30
apps and you know, social media
32:32
that we use. One is a terrible,
32:34
terrible story that actually comes out of Baltimore. This just
32:37
happened November 26th. So not too long ago, a couple
32:39
of weeks ago, it was an 18 year old who
32:42
lived in Pennsylvania and
32:44
he found on Facebook
32:46
marketplace. I'm just going to talk to him myself.
32:48
Wow. Do you see
32:51
how she treats me? Where
33:28
are my people? I feel like I've got no backup here. I've got
33:30
no... Robbie is out on an island all
33:32
by herself. I know. Rebecca. Rebecca, you were
33:34
my editor for seven years. You never once told me that I smacked my lips.
33:37
That's because you're scary. No, that's because I can edit it out. Why wouldn't I
33:39
tell you? Rebecca, I have never been scary to you. Have I? No,
33:41
no, no, no, no. You're not.
33:43
That's because... When have I been scary to you?
33:45
I'm not scared of you. I'm not scared of you. I'm
33:47
not scared of you. I'm not scared of you. I'm not
33:49
scared of you. I'm not scared of you. I'm not scared
33:51
of you. No, no,
33:54
no, no, no, no. You're not. That's because...
33:56
When have I been scary to
33:58
you? That's because... I
34:01
don't criticize the way women talk, you know that.
34:04
But Rebecca does to me constantly.
34:07
But Rebecca does she smack her lips? Yeah,
34:10
she does. I
34:12
get her miss. But, Rabia, you're so
34:14
pretty. You know what?
34:17
You're so... Also, by the way,
34:19
she's way smarter than you and I put
34:21
together. Oh, I'm fully aware. There are only
34:23
a couple things I can cling onto, and
34:25
this is it. Is this
34:27
become a point of contention between the two of you? I
34:30
can't breathe. I cannot talk. She's
34:33
always like, stop saying that. I'm
34:35
an editing crazy person, and I'm
34:38
like, Rabia! Huh. Yeah.
34:41
I see. Am I being recorded right now?
34:43
Yeah, you are. You're on our episode right
34:45
now. Rebecca Lavoie, welcome to our
34:47
show. Okay,
34:50
okay. I'm going to actually start talking like
34:53
this to keep my lips very far apart.
34:55
Can I keep my... You sound like your
34:57
mom. I know. You have never heard
34:59
my mom. All
35:02
right, we love you, Rebecca. Listen. She
35:04
has so many... She just didn't believe me. I
35:07
do not. Rebecca never told me... I
35:09
actually blame Rebecca and all the amazing editors I have because
35:12
if one of you had told me this years ago, maybe
35:14
I would have corrected myself. I'm going
35:16
to get a speech coach. I'm getting a speech coach. She's
35:19
going to get a speech coach. Can I just say
35:21
one other thing? Oh, no. There
35:24
were way bigger problems with editing undisclosed
35:27
than Robbie's. This is accurate. Susan
35:30
Simpson talking 700 miles per hour. I
35:33
was way more focused on that. Susan
35:36
had too much in her brain. How
35:38
long does it take you to edit? How
35:41
far do you get? How many minutes per hour
35:43
do you normally go? Oh,
35:46
I'm really fast. It depends on what it
35:48
is and how much audio. Another
35:50
AI tool is so much easier, especially
35:52
with making stuff sound higher quality. You
35:56
have to teach me how to do that. No,
35:58
you don't. No, you don't because we... We have editors. You
36:01
don't have to teach Ellen that. Ellen, stop it. Well,
36:03
just in terms of making the taste quality of self
36:05
sound better, like in terms of like, you know, if
36:07
somebody's recording in a bad space or whatever, you can
36:09
make that sound better without a lot of work now.
36:11
It used to take time just to do that part,
36:14
but it really depends. It
36:16
really, really depends. We can sit together
36:18
and say some tips. I'm
36:20
at like 12 minutes per hour. What
36:22
does 12 minutes per hour mean? I don't know what this rate
36:25
means. I've never edited anything. I've never edited anything. 12 minutes
36:27
of the show per hour-ish. 12 or like 14. So
36:29
are you saying it takes you an hour to edit 12
36:31
minutes of the show? What
36:34
the hell? Yeah. All right. We
36:36
love you, Rebecca. Thank you for proving me
36:38
right. All right. Bye. I'm not sure if
36:40
I love you anymore. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
36:43
I love you. You're beautiful.
36:46
You're talented and you smack your lips. I
36:48
don't know. I feel like I'm almost 50. I don't think
36:50
it's going to change. I'm just, I'm sorry, Ellen. I'm just, I'm not
36:52
even working on it. I'm not going to work on it. You're screwed.
36:55
We went from, we went from hiring a
36:57
speech coach to I'm 50. It
37:00
is what it is. Yeah. I mean, it's
37:02
like a couple of years ago, I was like, you know what? I don't like
37:04
to hike. I'm never going to like to hike. I give it up. I'm
37:07
not going to be one of those people. Like, you know, I just, it's
37:09
like, you know, it's cooking. Yeah. We
37:11
all have our gifts. You're immune to them. I haven't found my gifts
37:13
yet, but I'm sure they're there. Okay. All
37:16
right. Okay. So I
37:18
was talking about, um, I was talking about this terrible crime
37:21
that took place in Baltimore in, on November 26. This
37:24
18 year old named Carlos Ricardo just
37:26
was looking for a car, found one
37:28
on Facebook marketplace, drove up from Pennsylvania,
37:31
from Lancaster, Pennsylvania to Baltimore in order
37:33
to take a look at this car,
37:35
decided he didn't want it. And
37:37
then it's unclear exactly what happened. The,
37:40
the, the kid selling it was
37:42
also 18 named Marquise Harris. And as he's driving
37:44
away, he decided, I don't want the car. He's
37:46
with a friend. Marquise Harris pulls out a gun
37:49
and shoots him in the head repeatedly,
37:52
apparently. And so, and then
37:54
the friend takes the wheel of the car and it crashes, whatever they, they've arrested
37:56
him again, 18 years old. He's a
37:59
kid. So that was one
38:01
story that caught my attention
38:03
because I do worry
38:05
a lot about things like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace
38:07
where it's like, you know, you have stuff you
38:09
want, but it's like, how do you inner how
38:11
do you keep yourself safe in situations like that?
38:13
You think I'm always worried about people come to
38:15
the house, you know what I mean? Like, you
38:17
know, to pick up a bed or whatever stuff
38:20
I have. But this guy, they were just out
38:22
outside. He just went outside to look
38:24
at a car. Yeah, Facebook Marketplace. Like,
38:27
we learned don't give your address, don't give
38:29
your phone number out to people. And then
38:31
we're like, come to my house to give
38:34
me five dollars for my basket of yarn.
38:37
What? What are we doing? Yeah, we're not
38:39
thinking this through clearly. At
38:42
a rental center. What is the safest? Yeah, but
38:44
yeah, but how do you do that if you
38:46
actually have like furniture? I can't be like hauling.
38:48
For example, I just got rid of I just
38:51
got rid of like a literally a L-shaped, you
38:53
know, one of those big I used to have
38:55
it in my law firm like years ago, this
38:58
huge wooden L-shaped desk, you know, those really shiny
39:00
dark wood. They're huge. And it
39:02
has like a hutch on top. I
39:04
can't be like hauling it to a, you
39:07
know, somebody has to come and take it. So I had to just
39:09
trust these three men who came to my
39:11
house and took it apart and took it. I'm like, fingers
39:13
crossed. Nobody gets killed. Yeah, I'm
39:16
glad you're still here. It's a dilemma. Well, the
39:18
other story also is about a
39:21
parable, you know, thing
39:23
that happened because of because of a
39:26
connection online. And that is that this actually
39:28
might make you giggle, but it shouldn't. A
39:30
Miami woman who basically is charged. I just
39:32
smacked my lips. A Miami woman who was
39:34
just charged with a felony attempted murder charge
39:36
because she set her Tinder date on fire.
39:39
Destiny Johnson, 25, was arrested in
39:41
late November, charged with three felonies,
39:43
included attempted murder, first degree arson
39:46
and aggravated battery. She met
39:48
up with this date and I don't have the name
39:50
of the date. It's met up with him. Like, I
39:52
don't know. They were met up at a Holiday Inn
39:54
Express in Florida. Of course, it's Florida. Got
39:57
irritated by him and sent him and
39:59
his car. on fire. Was he in the
40:01
car? He was in the car. Was he leaving? Oh,
40:04
I don't know the exact details of what was
40:06
happening, but he was in the car. But she
40:08
how I don't, I don't understand. I don't, but
40:10
she, she pleads
40:12
not guilty and she's told and don't
40:14
contact the victim. But again, this is
40:17
just a story that makes me think
40:19
about the inherent danger in like, I
40:22
know dating has always been a dangerous proposition,
40:24
like generally speaking, but at least dating did
40:26
not look like this 25, 30
40:28
years ago. Now with Tinder, and it's not even dating a lot
40:30
of times, just like randomly meeting somebody for one
40:32
night. I know young people who have told me when
40:35
I travel with friends, if I go to a city, I'll try
40:37
to like find somebody to hook up with like for that night.
40:40
And I'm like, I'm terrified for them. I'm
40:43
terrified for them. I do not understand
40:45
how people have the courage to do
40:47
this or just taking a risk like
40:49
this. My question is, if he was
40:51
in the car, how did she light
40:53
the car on fire without
40:56
dousing it with something? I mean, a
40:58
car doesn't just like set ablaze. How
41:01
do you light a person on fire? I mean, if they're
41:03
just sitting next to you, I mean, because you can just get
41:05
up and walk. I don't know like
41:08
the details I, because like that's pretty much
41:10
all I could I could find online is this
41:12
kind of like the headlines and you know, the
41:14
the big picture story, but it could be that
41:16
the car was not set completely ablaze that it
41:18
was just like, you know, it had just begun.
41:20
Yeah, fire. And the guy was able to walk
41:22
away. That's scary. Yeah. So anyhow,
41:24
these two stories just make me scared of
41:27
the times we are living in and make
41:29
me realize I am truly a Mima. I
41:31
just I'm turning into a hermit soon. I'm
41:33
fine with that. Yeah. My next story,
41:35
I just smacked my lips. My next story. This
41:37
happened less than a month ago, but there are
41:40
updates. So let me set the picture.
41:43
At 1023pm, a new
41:46
mother, she already had a son, but
41:49
39 year old Irena Garcia was on her
41:51
bed rocking her newborn to sleep and I
41:53
mean newborn like 14 days old. And the
41:56
new Media
42:00
has released a picture of that
42:02
moment and at 10.31 p.m. a 13 year old
42:04
by the name of
42:08
Derek Rosa would call 911.
42:11
And Derek Rosa would tell
42:13
operators that he stabbed
42:16
his mother to death while
42:18
she was sleeping. So officers
42:20
rushed to the scene in Hylia, Florida
42:23
and they discovered the body of 39
42:26
year old Irena Garcia with multiple
42:28
stab wounds to her neck. The
42:30
media has also released a picture
42:32
of Rosa posing
42:35
in what appears to
42:37
be blood on his hands that
42:40
he sent to a friend. Now I
42:42
say friend, this is someone that he
42:44
doesn't know his name. It's
42:46
someone that he games with online and
42:49
sent a picture and
42:51
he told this to the 911 dispatcher.
42:54
This 911 call lasted 17 minutes
42:58
and I'll play a section of it
43:00
for you. But he said I took
43:02
a picture. Is that bad? He
43:04
stayed on the phone until authorities were
43:07
able to come and apprehend him. So
43:10
there's a couple of things. The
43:13
prosecutors are against moving him to
43:15
juvenile detention. He is 13 years
43:18
old and he is currently being
43:20
held with adults and
43:22
treated as an adult and as of
43:24
now being tried as an adult. And
43:27
the prosecutors are very, very against
43:30
moving him to juvenile detention. Now
43:32
there's another aspect to this case.
43:34
My comprehension of Spanish is okay
43:36
but I definitely wanted to make
43:39
sure I have the right information
43:41
for Viviana Veliz. I hope I
43:43
pronounced that right. These are my
43:46
Spanish speaking down bitches who helped
43:48
me properly translate some of this
43:50
information. So this
43:52
is where I want to go with this. Derek
43:55
Rose's stepdad was named
43:58
Frank Ramos. And
44:00
what I have been able to translate for
44:04
the help of these women is that
44:08
Frank Ramos had
44:10
an entire separate family
44:12
and wife in Cuba.
44:16
And during the 911
44:18
call, allegedly, you
44:21
can also hear a voice in the
44:24
back saying, throw it out, and
44:26
also asking, who are you
44:28
talking to? It is
44:31
also said that he has been
44:33
reunited with that other wife and
44:36
his daughters that he has fathers
44:39
and that he's happy. And
44:41
that woman is now taking
44:43
on the responsibility of
44:45
mothering that baby. Okay,
44:48
so when Florida authorities asked to
44:51
investigate the home and properly process
44:53
the home, he's like, no, no,
44:55
no, no, we're good. No,
44:58
thank you. We have all the
45:00
information we need, he did it. So
45:02
you're saying the father did not allow
45:04
processing or didn't cooperate with processing? The
45:06
apartment has not been processed. But
45:09
let me show you a couple things. Oh, by
45:11
the way, it should be said, I
45:13
found this case because Jasmine, you know
45:15
our bestie, TikToker Jasmine from the Murdoch
45:17
case, she covered it, so we were
45:19
texting this morning about it. Because
45:22
here is the
45:24
video of the mom in bed and
45:27
then that is the picture of Derek
45:29
Rosa allegedly
45:32
killing her. But what
45:34
I said to Jasmine was, that
45:36
doesn't look like a 13 year old. Yeah,
45:39
but it could be a really big, I mean
45:41
like my six year old don't look like a
45:43
six year old. I mean, but this kid, I'll
45:45
show you a picture of this kid, this kid
45:47
looks older in the face, but I also want
45:49
to point out, this is him coming out. Anyway,
45:51
he is wearing
45:53
a navy blue
45:56
long sleeve shirt. shirt,
46:01
and in this picture, he's wearing
46:03
a short sleeve shirt. Is it? Maybe.
46:07
Is it really? It looks like a sweatshirt from
46:09
here. Oh, you're right. It's a short sleeve shirt.
46:12
Maybe he changed. I'm just
46:14
saying, all of
46:16
this information about Frank Ramos
46:20
is not being publicized
46:22
on English media. It
46:24
is only being talked about on
46:26
Spanish speaking media. The fact that
46:28
he had a whole separate family
46:31
and the fact that he has a
46:33
separate wife and he says, I just
46:36
want to move on and be
46:38
happy. Real quick. Yeah, that was real quick. Um,
46:41
you know, I want to show you what the
46:43
little boy looks like real quickly. Yeah. For
46:45
your mind. Do we know what the father looks like too? Yeah.
46:48
I mean, even the haircut could identify who it is and
46:50
if they have different haircuts. This is the boy. See
46:53
that navy blue? Yeah. He
46:55
does look older than 13. His face
46:57
looks older than 13, but that kid looks
46:59
like he's a hundred pounds soaking wet. I
47:02
mean, I got to see him standing up. It's hard, but it's
47:04
hard, but I'm just wondering like, what does the dad look like?
47:07
I mean, I'll be honest, like the, the, the, I,
47:10
I, I don't know, but I do think it's
47:12
suspect. But the other thing is this. There's
47:14
no, it could be that
47:16
the, he did actually kill his mother, but
47:19
that the father kind of made it happen.
47:21
Right. There's also
47:23
that right. He instrumentalized him
47:25
against her. When you hear
47:27
the 911 call, he sounds
47:30
like a little kid who
47:32
does not know what has
47:34
happened. He kept saying, are they going
47:36
to come in and kill me? I took pictures
47:38
and I told my friends about it. Was that
47:40
bag? You talk
47:42
all about it. My
47:45
friends. Your friends. So you send
47:47
pictures to your friends. So what you did? Yeah. Oh
47:50
God. He almost doesn't sound quite like he's
47:53
got some kind of developmental or maybe he's in
47:55
shock. I
47:57
mean, I don't know. over
48:00
here where I live. What did you add? I
48:03
need to know if your mom is breathing. She
48:06
said miss. Okay,
48:08
what did you do then? I spread all over
48:10
the floor. Okay, why did you kill your mom?
48:15
The brother, I have the gun with me. I
48:17
was gonna shoot myself but I didn't want to.
48:19
I didn't want to. I need
48:22
to know you don't have any guns or any
48:24
knives with you. This
48:27
is the knife and my room under the gun
48:29
in the living room. Okay, I need you to
48:31
stay away from them. Can you put them in
48:33
a safe place away from where the officers can
48:35
see them? I need to know,
48:37
do you think we can help your mom? Miss,
48:40
she said miss. Yes. I
48:44
took pictures and I told my friends about
48:46
it with that bag. You
48:49
told about it. It's very
48:51
confusing and then he says. Where was the
48:53
father when this was happening? If
48:56
he's speaking in the background while he's calling 911,
48:58
I'm assuming he was in the apartment when
49:00
this actually happened. I
49:03
don't know that nobody is talking
49:05
about the stepdad and I agree.
49:07
I'm not saying that he didn't
49:09
do it, but he has what
49:12
would be a 13 year old's motive because
49:14
when she says why did you kill him,
49:16
he doesn't answer. Yeah, I mean look here's
49:18
the thing. One thing I will say about
49:20
US media is that
49:23
coverage of crimes and criminal justice is usually
49:25
real shit. I mean it's real shit. It's
49:27
whatever like the the the prosecutor's office or
49:30
the police will they put out a press
49:32
statement. They literally just copy and paste copy
49:34
and paste and that's why you'll see you
49:36
can go to six different outlets. It's the
49:38
exact same story, exact same language. Like there's
49:40
just not no further digging. That's just how
49:43
it is. And I don't know why because
49:45
it's not like in most
49:47
instances publications have like people who are aren't
49:49
on specific beats. So it's like you've got
49:51
a crime beat. Do better. Like that's your
49:53
only job. You've got one job. Do better.
49:56
But I've seen this a lot of
49:58
times. It's interesting to me that The
50:00
Spanish outlets, are they Spanish
50:03
outlets that are being published overseas,
50:05
or are there American-based Spanish outlets,
50:07
do you know? They were all
50:09
on TikTok. I found them all
50:11
on TikTok, and they were from
50:13
Spanish outlets, not
50:15
American-based ones. So it's a totally separate
50:17
conversation that's happening there and here. That's
50:20
why I wanted to make sure that
50:22
I got all the words correct. So
50:24
thank you to our Dalvish listeners for
50:26
helping me with that. Because
50:29
the whole conversation of Frank Ramos is
50:31
not even happening. He has a whole
50:33
other ass family. Yeah, yeah. I mean,
50:35
look, I'll say this. I mean, I
50:37
guess, you know, I don't know if
50:39
they're gonna, I would hope the prosecutors
50:42
and the police investigate a little further to
50:44
figure out what actually happened here. But as
50:47
Kate has just pointed out in our group chat,
50:51
he's 13. He should 100% be
50:53
held in a juvenile facility. If anything, it
50:55
sounds like, if he really did commit this
50:57
of his own volition, then maybe
50:59
he needs psychiatric help versus even going
51:02
to a juvenile detention facility.
51:04
I mean, this is the problem. For
51:06
a 13 year, I mean, think about
51:08
it. Does anybody have children? Do you remember
51:10
when you were 13? He's a baby. To
51:12
put him with adult offenders, that is awful.
51:16
I mean, if he is not, I'm
51:19
sure he's already traumatized, but you are basically just
51:21
ruining him for life. You know what I mean?
51:23
There's no. There are videos
51:25
of him in the courtroom. Kids getting
51:27
counseling? That's not happening in a, that's
51:29
not happening. Oh, why would he get
51:32
counseling? There's videos

53:14
I would not be surprised if they if the prosecutors

53:18
a Satanic call. It's always like they're
53:20
looking for some kind of you talk my motive gaming
53:22

53:35

53:37
by himself with a frosted window
53:39
Has Jasmine talked about this other
53:41
aspect the this no we were
53:43
texting about it this morning Okay,
53:45
I watched her tick-tock last night
53:47
and we were going back and forth. She
53:50
was like, what's the dad's name? We're
53:53
just going back and forth good job digging Ellen
53:55
That was that was good to know and I'm
53:57
sure that Jasmine and others like they'll help spread
53:59
that Yeah, it's just crazy
54:01
because you can't I put in Frank
54:04
Ramos and only Spanish-speaking Tech
54:06
talks came up and Spanish-speaking outlets. So we'll
54:08
see we'll see how that blows up in
54:11
the coming days The last story
54:13
I had is it's not that it's like a real
54:15
unusual story. We hear this kind of stuff all the
54:17
time I just kind of wanted to have a conversation
54:19
with you about like what do you think like is
54:21
this or is this not a crime? Just because something
54:23
is a crime legally on the books doesn't always like
54:25
you know what I mean like doesn't yeah I mean
54:27
like it doesn't always mean that it's actually we should
54:30
You say this or Avia because last night I made
54:32
a tick-tock about a
54:35
man saying that self-checkout
54:37
scanners are People
54:41
steal from them at a crazy rate
54:43
really and and I made a tick-tock
54:45
that said Did you see
54:47
anyone stealing food cuz no you didn't
54:49
okay? Well, who was saying that who was saying
54:51
it this man was reporting,
54:54
but I was saying like yes stealing
54:56
is a crime Yeah, and I don't
54:58
believe we should live in We
55:02
should condone criminal behavior, but
55:04
if you see someone stealing
55:06
food or diapers or tampons
55:08
Yeah, I didn't see anything. Yeah, it's
55:10
funny that you bring that up about a crime not being
55:12
a crime All right. Well, I mean like I I want
55:14
to discuss whether or not you think this is a crime
55:17
high school teacher Gabrielle and you feel
55:19
26 was discovered in this in
55:21
North Carolina was discovered with an
55:23
18 year old male student in
55:26
a car I Don't know
55:28
fill in the euphemism blank. All right, and you've
55:30
got lots to choose from And
55:33
so she was arrested in charge with felony
55:35
sexual activity. Look a felony is a serious
55:37
charge Felonies a serious
55:39
charge with a student and in North
55:42
Carolina It is illegal for teachers and
55:44
students to have sexual relations Unless
55:47
the teacher is lawfully married to the student.
55:49
I get that I get the public policy
55:51
reasons for a law like that I get
55:53
the reason even the
55:56
sociological and psychosocial reasons
55:58
for it because of the power dynamic and all
56:00
that stuff. I don't know why I feel
56:02
uncomfortable with this woman being charged with a
56:04
felony for being in a
56:06
relationship with an 18 year old because in
56:09
this country, if you're 18, if
56:11
you're 13, you'll get charged as an adult. Like
56:13
we just decide when somebody's an adult and not
56:15
an adult. And in any other circumstances, 18 year
56:17
old would be fine dating
56:20
whoever he wants. Right, take your morality
56:22
out of it and your judgment out of
56:24
it of whatever you think of a teacher
56:26
and a student or a woman that's 20
56:29
years older. You said she was 36. No,
56:31
26. She's 20, okay. Eight
56:34
years older. He's an adult. Right. So
56:36
what happened was he missed a practice. He's on life
56:38
360. He missed one of his
56:40
practices like with some sports ball practice and his
56:43
mom was like, why'd he miss that? So she
56:45
started tracking him and tracked him to
56:47
his teacher's car, I guess, and found him
56:49
and then reported it. And yeah, I mean, I'm just curious.
56:51
What is it? How are our jury box
56:53
responding to that? Like I get it. Yeah, when did
56:55
it start? That's a good question, Rachel. When did it
56:58
start? But let me ask you, let's say it started.
57:00
Okay, this is the fall, right? Let's say it started.
57:02
Now, if it started when he was 15, 16, I
57:06
think it's a different scenario. Agree. But
57:09
this is another good question, Megan. Would you feel
57:11
the same if the student was a female and
57:13
the teacher was a male? Right, like that to
57:16
me also would change. Like I feel like my
57:18
emotional response would be like, yeah, that's different, but
57:20
it shouldn't be different. Because if she's also- I'll
57:24
tell you a really quick story. My dressing room
57:26
mate at Kinky Boots is
57:28
married to her high school music teacher. They
57:31
met when she was 17. They
57:33
waited till she was 18 to date and
57:36
be with each other. They're married, they live in Long Island
57:38
and they have two kids. Right,
57:40
was any of that a crime? I mean, like that's a
57:42
thing, right? I mean, no. He was, it was same thing.
57:44
He was like 26, 27. She
57:47
was 17. They legit were
57:49
like, no, we think this is something. They
57:52
legit waited till she was 18 years
57:54
old. And I was like, girl, she's like, no,
57:56
we did. It wasn't worth it. And...
58:00
She was 18 and he was her
58:02
music teacher and they lived happily ever
58:04
after. Yeah, I mean like Melissa was
58:06
talking about. So Renee says, I'm gonna
58:08
say student teacher equals crime. What
58:10
if the student is a 22 year
58:12
old in a class, you know, and it's a professor.
58:14
It wasn't worth it. And she
58:17
was 18 and he was her music
58:19
teacher and they lived happily ever after.
58:21
Yeah, I mean like Melissa was talking
58:24
about. So Renee says, I'm gonna say
58:26
student teacher equals crime. What
58:29
if the student is a 22 year old in
58:31
a class, you know, and it's a professor. I
58:33
mean, like I just feel like it's
58:36
so arbitrary, like how we decide who,
58:39
I can understand if you have a, if you
58:41
have, it's like, you know, in a
58:43
workplace, you're like, there are some workplace regulations in
58:45
certain companies, right? Like they just, it's not okay.
58:47
So you're gonna end up getting fired or suspended or whatever
58:50
if you have a relationship, a sexual
58:52
relationship between a senior and a junior.
58:54
And I feel like I can understand that.
58:56
The teacher was suspended, maybe she's let go,
58:58
maybe there's an administrative leave, you
59:01
know, but to be
59:03
charged with a felony for this
59:06
seems really crazy to me. And
59:08
then Melissa brings up the power
59:10
dynamic. Yeah, but how many
59:12
situations, and I mean, there's always a power
59:15
imbalance that's happened all the time. It's one
59:17
thing if there's like sexual harassment and like
59:19
coercion and you know what I mean? You
59:22
have a boss who's putting pressure on a
59:25
young employee to get
59:27
sexually involved. What is this consent? Can
59:30
an 18 year old not consent? I don't know. I
59:32
don't feel right about this. I just don't. Here's
59:34
my question. Do we know if he
59:37
was actually her legitimate student or
59:39
was she just a teacher at
59:41
the school? I don't know. Like
59:43
did she teach his AP history
59:45
class? But what if she did?
59:47
No, I'm just, I'm asking to
59:49
clarify for Melissa's question because if
59:51
she taught freshman economics and
59:53
he was a senior and then
59:55
there is no power dynamic, really,
59:58
she doesn't have any power or.
1:00:00
authority to change his life either way, whereas
1:00:02
someone could say, yeah, she was his AP
1:00:04
history teacher. She could have failed him or
1:00:06
given him an A. Right. I'm
1:00:08
just playing that card that Melissa brought. I mean,
1:00:10
the thing is like, you know, sometimes like, not
1:00:13
sometimes a lot of times these laws are, you
1:00:15
know, okay, it's so cut and
1:00:17
dry. If they're a teacher or student, if
1:00:19
he was at 16, in most
1:00:21
states, a student can decide, I'm
1:00:24
withdrawing myself from school. Okay. We
1:00:27
give a student that power
1:00:29
to do that. They can say, I don't want to go to high school
1:00:31
anymore. I don't want to go to school anymore. So they can
1:00:33
do that. If we're giving a 16 or 17
1:00:35
year old student that power, we're also saying at
1:00:37
18, you, I
1:00:40
mean, there's all these responsibilities that come with
1:00:43
being 18, right? Like you could be,
1:00:45
you could be drafted into the arm. I mean, it's
1:00:48
a technicality that that kid was a student.
1:00:51
This is what I'm trying to say. If she
1:00:53
met him at a sporting event and
1:00:55
they, he was not as, you know, he was not a
1:00:57
student in her height. What if he's a student at a
1:00:59
different school? I mean, like, I just, I don't, I feel
1:01:01
like it's very arbitrary. I don't know. I'm just like 18.
1:01:04
No, don't worry for me. I mean, you
1:01:06
know, look, she's been charged, but it could be
1:01:08
that maybe she doesn't actually get convicted of it.
1:01:10
I wonder how this is going to go. Right
1:01:12
now, for now that this judge is like, she's
1:01:14
not actually detained. She's, she's got
1:01:16
electronic monitoring and ordered not to have
1:01:19
any communication. So let's see
1:01:21
if, okay. So, and apparently
1:01:23
a court, the court documents say that
1:01:25
since October 18th, they
1:01:28
had been, they had gotten together at least
1:01:30
five times since October 18th. I'm assuming the kid
1:01:32
was already 18 as
1:01:34
of that time because it's only been like
1:01:36
two months ago. Nicholas says, am I
1:01:38
comfortable with it? No. Do I think it should
1:01:40
be a felony crime when he's 18 and 26?
1:01:44
Also no. Yeah. And that's,
1:01:46
that's, you have to withhold your opinion
1:01:48
for what an 18 year old looks
1:01:51
like with a 26 year old. That's
1:01:53
your own, you know, judgment
1:01:56
or whatever. But I mean, and
1:01:58
felonies seem that. Extreme felony. Yeah
1:02:01
felony seems extreme. Um, but also just like
1:02:03
our our attorney at the top of the
1:02:05
show I mean like, you know people get
1:02:07
some better boundaries in your workplace. Yeah. Yeah
1:02:10
That's it. That's all I got. All
1:02:13
right. Well, that is all we have
1:02:15
for this week of about damn crime
1:02:17
We hope that you will join us

husband we could not put off getting

life insurance any longer. An
1:04:11
agent offered us a 10-year, 500-thousand-dollar bill.
