0:28

It now with game pass. Take

1:01

a break from the same old boring blockbusters and

1:03

1:05

movie night with Radio Rental.

1:08

1:12

and reasoning, and make you question your

1:14

1:17

1:19

store. At Radio Rental, we carry

1:22

one-of-a-kind videos, so frightening, so mind-bending,

1:26

you won't be able to sleep at night. You've

1:30

gone Radio Rental. Hello,

1:55

hello. Welcome, welcome to Radio Rental, a

1:57

VHS rental shop that houses a collection

1:59

of of the scariest true

2:01

horror stories you've ever heard. I'm

2:03

Terry Carnation, former AM radio star

2:06

and current proprietor of the

2:08

Radio Rental Store. I've actually

2:11

just been enjoying some fan mail. Before

2:14

we start on some scary stories, would you like

2:16

me to read you a few letters? Of

2:18

course you would. You'll

2:21

find this abundantly interesting. Let's see

2:23

what we've got here. Oh,

2:26

okay. This one is from

2:29

Ashley and Andrew. Mr.

2:31

Carnation, we are writing to you today

2:33

with great joy and excitement as

2:35

we embark on a new chapter in our lives, our

2:38

wedding. We, Andrew and Ashley, are

2:40

delighted to be joining our lives together and becoming

2:42

the Coffmans. As

2:46

we plan our special day, we have been reflecting on the

2:48

journey that has brought us to this point. Our

2:50

relationship has been shaped not only by the love and support

2:53

of our family and friends, but

2:55

also by the numerous shows that have played

2:57

significant roles in our lives. Radio

3:00

Rental is one of those important entities. We

3:03

understand that it is not possible for you

3:05

to physically attend our wedding due

3:08

to various commitments, distance, the

3:10

void, etc. However, in

3:12

recognition of the meaningful impact you have had on

3:14

us, we

3:16

would like to honor you by including

3:19

your name on our scrapbook wall at

3:21

the reception. Your presence

3:23

even in spirit would mean the world

3:25

to us. We eagerly await your response

3:27

and hope you enjoy sharing this joyous

3:29

occasion with us. Well,

3:33

this is extremely flattering.

3:36

Honestly, I would offer to officiate. I

3:38

love to officiate weddings. But

3:40

as I can see the date listed here, I

3:43

regret to tell you that I will unfortunately not

3:45

be able to make it. However,

3:47

you may include me in your

3:49

scrapbook wall, as you say, however

3:51

you would like. Marriage

3:54

is a beautiful thing. I mean,

3:56

it didn't quite work out for me, as you know. My

3:58

beautiful queen of wedding. Her wife, Zélán,

4:00

has been mysteriously missing for many, many

4:03

years now. And

4:05

I really sincerely hope that that doesn't happen

4:07

to either of you. Anyway, take

4:09

care, Andrew and Ashley, and best

4:11

wishes. Oh, what a

4:13

thrill. I love fan mail. Anywho,

4:16

let's shift gears and move to our

4:18

first scary tape. Away

4:21

we go. In

4:29

2008, I was getting my bachelor's. My

4:32

husband was getting his master's. We

4:36

already had two kids. We

4:39

struggled a lot to make ends meet. We

4:42

turned to Craigslist a lot. I

4:46

would do nannying and babysitting

4:49

jobs. My husband would

4:51

buy and sell furniture from there,

4:53

and it was really neat for college

4:55

students. One

4:58

particularly rough time, we

5:01

were thinking about asking our parents for help.

5:05

When I saw this Craigslist ad for

5:08

a chiropractor front desk position,

5:10

it was $18 an

5:12

hour. I

5:16

had not seen that kind of

5:18

money for a part-time job before.

5:22

So I was reading over this ad. It

5:25

was a little strange. It

5:29

was imperative that the front

5:31

desk position be filled with

5:33

someone who's attractive. They

5:36

said it was this healthy

5:38

environment that they needed to

5:40

portray. I

5:46

was a media studies major, and

5:48

I really just didn't see jobs for that

5:50

kind of money. This is kind of perfect. I

5:57

emailed immediately and got a response.

6:02

He wanted me to apply with

6:04

some marketing strategies and I thought

6:06

it was kind of weird because

6:08

I didn't know anything about the

6:10

company or what they were utilizing.

6:12

It was strange

6:14

but he wanted to meet. He

6:17

was like, yes, let's meet the next day. I

6:21

was excited. This

6:23

was going to be like a really great opportunity for

6:26

us. I

6:30

went to sleep nervous, going

6:32

over my interview anxiety

6:35

techniques. I

6:39

remember waking up, sitting

6:42

up and

6:44

saying out loud, he's

6:46

a serial killer. I

6:50

don't talk in my sleep. This

6:52

has never happened. I

6:55

sat straight up and

6:58

I said out loud, he's

7:01

a serial killer. My

7:05

husband woke up and

7:07

he's half asleep and he says, what? I

7:11

said, the guy, the

7:13

chiropractor, he's a serial killer.

7:17

My husband said, okay, babe, don't go. I

7:21

remember laying back down thinking, I'm

7:24

going. It's crazy. It's

7:26

impossible. I'm going. In

7:32

the morning, my husband decided to

7:34

drive by the place

7:37

just to make sure it's on the up and up.

7:40

He couldn't find it. When

7:44

he said he couldn't find it, I

7:46

decided, okay, I'm going to

7:48

go find it. This

7:51

was back when we had to print off

7:53

directions. We didn't have it in our funds.

7:57

I was driving by and I still can't

7:59

find it. couldn't find it. This

8:03

is so many strikes against this, but

8:06

we really needed it. I

8:08

was going. When

8:12

it was time for the interview,

8:14

I'm driving around. I'm kind of

8:16

guessing at this point. I'm going

8:18

down alleys. I've given

8:21

up on the printed directions. I

8:25

find myself in front of this storefront. It

8:29

was old, run down, and

8:32

I could see above the door in

8:35

big letters that it used to

8:37

say chiropractor. The

8:40

letters have been taken down. It was

8:42

kind of the outline. So I

8:44

knew I was in the right

8:46

place, but it didn't look like it should

8:49

be the right place. I'm

8:52

walking up to the door. It

8:54

said chiropractor and had the doctor's

8:56

name, but it wasn't the man.

8:59

And the email is a different doctor. So

9:03

I walk in the door, and

9:06

I had this sigh of

9:08

relief because it looked like a

9:10

regular doctor-looking office. There

9:14

was the long counter, very

9:17

typical computer setup,

9:20

and along the wall was a bunch

9:22

of boxes of files. I

9:26

couldn't tell if he was moving

9:29

in or moving out. I

9:31

was thinking, I should ask him if he's moving

9:33

out. Is this not going to

9:35

be the location that I would be working

9:38

in? I

9:40

felt really silly. This

9:43

is a doctor. I'm

9:45

glad that I came. And

9:48

then I saw this fish tank, which was

9:50

this quintessential doctor's

9:52

office thing. I'm

9:57

looking at the fish. He

10:00

said my name. He

10:03

was... And

10:06

when I turned around, he

10:10

was just so big. The

10:15

counter seemed child-sized,

10:18

with him standing behind it. He's

10:22

in this white lab coat, this

10:25

ruddy complexion. He

10:28

was just as big as a linebacker.

10:32

This was not an

10:34

inviting person. My

10:38

stomach dropped. I

10:40

didn't want to be alone with him. He

10:44

invites me back into his office.

10:49

It was so dark, I can't

10:51

tell you what was on the walls. I

10:55

can't even really make out his

10:57

face anymore. I

11:00

felt like he could see me, and

11:03

I couldn't see him as well. And

11:06

it was really disorienting. He

11:11

knew immediately that I thought, this

11:13

is a really dark room.

11:16

Why are you leading me back here? And

11:19

he said, oh, this used to be a

11:21

massage parlor, so

11:25

the offices are really dark. We're

11:28

working on that. And

11:30

for a second I thought, yeah, I've

11:32

been to a spa, the lights are kind

11:34

of low. But

11:37

the outside of the building

11:39

said chiropractor, it's not adding

11:41

up for me. So

11:43

I don't trust him at this point.

11:47

I felt like I was in survival

11:49

mode. That's

11:52

when he asked me if

11:55

I was familiar with chiropractor

11:57

offices. His office was

11:59

very dark. office wasn't a typical office, he

12:01

liked to do things outside

12:03

of the box. I

12:06

told him I'd been to a

12:08

chiropractor before, but I

12:10

didn't know all the services they

12:13

offered and that I'm

12:15

sure if I saw anything, I

12:17

would think it's perfectly normal.

12:21

He was really happy about that. It

12:24

was like he wanted to talk. He

12:26

was talking about himself. He

12:29

worked at a university nearby and that's

12:33

where he took us in, human

12:36

dissection. He's

12:39

talking about enjoying dissecting

12:42

cadavers. I

12:44

was a stranger to him and the

12:47

things he was talking about were

12:50

scary. The

12:53

alarms in my

12:55

head were getting louder and

12:58

louder. I

13:01

feel sick. I

13:03

feel dizzy. I'm

13:06

thinking, convince this

13:08

guy that you think everything

13:11

is normal. I'm

13:14

trying to ask him questions about the position.

13:17

I'm asking him hours. I'm

13:20

asking him about the marketing.

13:24

He didn't really want to talk about

13:26

the job. He didn't want

13:28

to talk about me or

13:30

how qualified or not qualified I

13:32

was. He

13:35

wants to talk about the girl

13:37

who had the job before me.

13:42

He called her fruitcake and

13:46

kept referring to her as fruitcake

13:48

and never giving her a name.

13:52

It was very mocking. He

13:56

hadn't had anybody else for six weeks.

14:00

She just didn't work out for

14:03

the position. Just

14:05

didn't live up to his

14:07

expectations of the job. She

14:11

didn't agree with the

14:13

things he did inside the office

14:15

or outside the office. I'm

14:19

trying to seem interested. I

14:22

don't want to seem like anything he's

14:24

saying is weird. I'm

14:27

being very sympathetic to him

14:30

about fruitcake not working

14:32

out, how that's good for

14:34

me. That's

14:37

when I started kind of shifting around and

14:39

looking at my phone. When

14:42

I checked for the time, my

14:44

phone felt so bright, like when you

14:46

turn it on in a movie. He

14:50

was watching me closely

14:53

and that's

14:56

when out of

14:58

nowhere he asked

15:00

me if I believed in him. My

15:05

stomach dropped. I

15:08

panicked because I didn't know what his

15:10

right answer would be. I

15:13

was afraid to answer wrong. I

15:18

said yes, do you? He

15:22

said I do and I

15:24

believe in karma because

15:27

I do bad things.

15:31

Recently he

15:33

did something really bad.

15:37

Afterwards he fell down his

15:39

basement stairs and broke his

15:42

clavicle. He said

15:44

that was six weeks ago. Red

15:48

flag, fruitcake. I

15:53

felt like he wanted me to ask

15:55

him what happened to fruitcake but

15:58

I just wanted to get out of there. I

16:00

felt like if he tells me

16:02

something, I'm not

16:04

getting out of here. So

16:07

I was just going to smile and

16:09

nod. I knew

16:12

he was about to tell me something. He

16:16

was just about to tell me what

16:18

that was when

16:20

the bell rang. It

16:24

was so tense in there. I was startled

16:26

and I jumped to my feet. Someone

16:30

walked in the front door and

16:33

he yelled at me to sit down. That's

16:37

when I decided it was

16:40

light or fight. I

16:43

flew. I ran out of the office around

16:47

the counter and it was so

16:49

bright out there. The light just

16:51

hit me after being in

16:53

such a dark room and

16:56

I stopped when I saw this woman had

16:58

walked in and was standing at the front

17:00

desk. He

17:02

chased me out of the office and

17:05

stopped when he saw her and

17:08

we all stared at each other. She

17:12

said, hi, I'm new in

17:15

town and I am

17:17

looking for a new chiropractor. He

17:21

said, Joanna,

17:24

please go back into my office while

17:27

I help this customer out. And

17:30

I just stood there. Now

17:33

I feel protective

17:35

of this new woman. I don't know. Maybe

17:38

I could walk out with her. She

17:42

just keeps talking and says, I saw

17:44

your sign from the road and

17:47

I just want to check and

17:49

see if you take my insurance. He

17:53

tried to talk her into coming

17:55

back for a free consultation. She

17:58

was refusing. She

18:01

had her card out for him to

18:03

check and he said it's no problem

18:06

just come on back. Her

18:09

face got hard. She

18:11

looked frustrated. She looked

18:14

annoyed like she had just

18:16

been trying to be nice. She

18:19

said my son's asleep in the car. Will

18:21

you please just check my insurance and

18:24

I'm gonna go. That's

18:26

when I started inching

18:28

towards the door.

18:30

He's occupied. I just

18:33

want to get out of there. He saw me

18:36

and said, Joanna, we're

18:39

not finished. And

18:42

this woman seemed bigger

18:44

than him in this moment.

18:47

Her presence was so big

18:50

and she said don't worry about

18:52

her. She

18:55

knew something was wrong. We

18:59

all seemed like strangers standing

19:01

there staring at each

19:03

other. And that's when a

19:05

voice told me to

19:08

run. It

19:11

was her voice in my head. I

19:15

was looking at her. I heard

19:18

her tell me to run but she's

19:21

standing in front of me talking

19:24

to him. When

19:27

that voice said run I

19:32

ran out of the office to my

19:34

car. I locked

19:37

my door and I'm

19:39

facing the office and

19:42

I thought I'm just gonna wait here for her to

19:44

get out. I was

19:46

worried about her and now

19:49

I'm looking because I'm thinking maybe

19:51

I should pull out and park

19:53

next to her. Maybe if she's

19:55

behind me, I didn't see her

19:57

of her. I didn't.

20:00

see anything, then

20:04

the voice again said, go.

20:09

I drove as fast as I could

20:11

out of there. I went

20:15

out the same way I came and there was

20:17

still no signs. I

20:23

don't know how she got there right

20:25

when I needed her. I

20:29

even checked the newspaper for

20:31

weeks for a missing woman

20:33

and there

20:35

was nothing. I never

20:38

saw anything. I checked

20:40

Craig's list a lot to see if

20:42

he was posting new

20:45

ads because the other one

20:47

was taken down and

20:49

I didn't see anything. I did check

20:54

the local university and

20:57

he worked there. His

20:59

picture was a...

21:04

I think she rescued me. I've

21:17

said it before and I'll say it again.

21:19

Do not trust Craig's list, people. I

21:22

should know. I have fallen prey to quite a

21:25

few scams in my day. That's actually how I

21:27

ended up with Malachi. I thought

21:29

I was buying a baby panther

21:31

from Nepal. That was not

21:34

the case. Also,

21:36

just for the record, nothing is free

21:38

under the free stuff section. I

22:00

caused it. I don't know what

22:02

it's like. We did not see.

22:04

We all thought that we should be. And

22:07

yet, what will I become? Senua

22:48

we're back. Let's pop another

22:50

story into my VCR. Oh

22:52

yeah, baby. During

23:02

COVID, my girlfriend got

23:04

a heavy dose of puppy fever.

23:08

We ended up adopting a really sweet

23:10

Rottweiler from Florida. Chop,

23:13

we adopted him when he was eight weeks old.

23:16

We got him right after his mom gave birth.

23:19

Just a very fiercely loyal, loyal and

23:22

loving dog to both my wife and

23:24

I. Absolutely

23:26

fearless when it came to taking care of

23:28

us, making sure that we were okay, protected

23:31

within the house, protected outside. You'd

23:34

have to come up to him to make sure that

23:36

he approved you, essentially. Broader

23:38

definition, he was kind of an asshole. Judgmental,

23:41

but just fiercely, fiercely loved

23:43

us. We

23:45

always made the joke that if someone tried to rob us

23:47

in the middle of the night, that they probably would make

23:49

it past our living room with all their limbs. It

23:54

was August day in beautiful South

23:56

Carolina. Ended up

23:59

bringing my parents to the house. My parents' house for a little bit. My

24:02

mom and dad both like to go on a lunchtime walk when they're

24:04

both on their lunch breaks. Ended

24:07

up taking them over there and just taking them for

24:09

a quick little stroll, 20 minute stroll around the neighborhood.

24:12

No different than any other day we walked him

24:15

around midday. During

24:18

that 20 minutes, he started panting a good

24:21

amount. I

24:23

could tell that something was wrong. He couldn't keep up. Ended

24:27

up leaving him with my dad for about five

24:29

minutes sprinting back to the house, grabbing my car

24:31

and taking him back to my house, wrapping

24:34

his feet with a cold cloth, cooling

24:36

him down with ice. The second

24:38

I could get him to move, he could barely stand up. I

24:41

took him right to the vet. The

24:45

lady at the vet said he's very critical right

24:47

now. We

24:49

can let him go, or

24:51

you can take him to the

24:53

overnight clinic and see if there's any plasma

24:55

transfusion that he can do to give

24:57

him some sort of chance. Sadly,

25:02

it didn't work through the plasma transfusion, through

25:04

everything they could do. He

25:07

lost his battle that night. Spent

25:12

a good amount of time just in the room, him and

25:14

I. My wife was absolutely devastated. That

25:16

was her best friend and she

25:18

couldn't make it in the room. So I stayed in

25:20

the room and just apologizing and feeling a

25:22

lot of guilt. The

25:26

next day, my wife and I were just beyond devastated. We

25:30

ended up just driving around in our local area

25:32

just because couldn't stay at

25:34

home because the house was too quiet. We

25:40

got ripped eight weeks after the shot

25:42

passed away. My

25:44

wife was looking online at a couple different options and she told

25:46

me, hey, I just put a deposit down on

25:49

another puppy. Okay,

25:52

I guess let's do this again. I'm ready to get hurt

25:54

all over again. Same

25:56

exact German Rottweiler, same exact breed. Only

25:58

difference between the two. the two as

26:00

far as looks were where Chop had a dog

26:02

tail, Rip has his tail. Just

26:06

the nicest, nicest dog, most gentle,

26:08

patient, loving, but not

26:11

quite as protective as as Chop was back in

26:13

his day. I've

26:16

had sleep paralysis on and off since I was

26:18

about 18 years old. First

26:21

thing I noticed in an episode, the

26:23

room that I'm in or the room that I'm

26:25

looking at, I can immediately see that it's almost

26:28

black and white and there's just something sinister that

26:30

I feel within the room. You know

26:33

what this room is, you know where this place is,

26:35

but something's terribly

26:37

wrong. Your

26:39

brain's firing on all synapses telling you that

26:42

something's not right. You

26:44

need to leave this state as soon as possible.

26:48

Typically I always see one demon

26:50

in the corner, it's the standard one that a

26:52

lot of people see throughout the years. Just

26:55

a really, really tall man wearing a hat. He's

26:58

very famous throughout humanity. A lot

27:02

of people know him as the hat man. He's

27:05

about nine foot tall, he stands in the corner

27:07

of the room, very

27:09

dark shadowy, has a very evil,

27:11

unnatural looking smile, just grinning at

27:14

you, staring into your soul. Can't

27:17

make out any distinct things on his face

27:19

other than his speedy eyes and that just

27:21

evil, evil toothy grin. And

27:24

he's always wearing a dark, dark hat. It's

27:28

just very shocking and jolting to see it

27:31

whenever he comes into your room. It's

27:34

one of those archetypes that a lot of

27:36

humanity ends up seeing. It's

27:40

always scary in the moment. It's

27:42

kind of hard to realize when you're in it

27:44

that it's going on, but once your brain makes

27:46

that connection, it's easier to get yourself out of

27:48

it. The strategies that

27:50

I try, wiggling my toes, wiggling my feet,

27:53

trying to focus on one thing inside the

27:55

room, those are the strategies

27:57

that typically would use to pull myself out of

27:59

an episode. episode. This

28:03

particular episode that happened very,

28:06

very intense for me, very

28:09

different in many sort of ways. I

28:13

wake up in the middle of the night to grab a

28:15

glass of water, use the bathroom, walk

28:17

back into bed, rip sleeping

28:20

on the floor next to my wife, my

28:22

wife sleeping to the left of me, lay

28:26

down, fall asleep. Immediately

28:30

I start seeing those signs that I'm

28:32

entering a sleep paralysis bout. Room

28:36

goes gray a little bit, start

28:38

hearing a humming noise within my ears, start

28:41

taking sense of everything that's around me and I

28:45

see this hat man entity that I've been seeing

28:47

since I was 19 in the corner. It's

28:52

a little more intensive asleep paralysis bout. Normally

28:55

he stands and just stares at me in the corner of the

28:58

room, but this one was a little bit different. He

29:01

actually starts walking towards me, stands

29:06

on top of my chest and

29:09

starts bending over and looking down at me.

29:15

He's about maybe a foot

29:17

from my face just staring into me. Feels

29:20

like he was staring right into my soul. I

29:24

hadn't seen that much detail in his face

29:27

since I started having these episodes. Evil,

29:31

evil smile, toothy,

29:36

absolutely uncanny, unsettling. Feeling

29:39

of just absolute primal fear just goes through

29:41

my body. A whole

29:44

sense of dread and fear I've never known

29:46

before. Absolute

29:48

terrified me. I

29:51

feel almost stuck. I

29:54

try to wiggle my toes, trying

29:58

to look around the room, focus on some things. while

30:00

dealing with this. I

30:03

ended up hearing a very deep guttural growl

30:05

coming from next to me. Look

30:10

over in the direction where my wife is sleeping. I

30:13

initially thought that it was our current dog, Rip.

30:17

I noticed the doktail. Chop

30:21

had a doktail and Rip

30:23

has his foaltail. I

30:27

end up seeing Chop standing over my wife. I

30:31

see his teeth bared. He's

30:34

not even paying attention to me. He's not even looking at me.

30:38

And he's just standing over her

30:40

in just a very powerful, bold

30:43

stance, emitting

30:46

this low, low, deep,

30:48

guttural, vicious growl towards

30:51

this entity that's standing on top of

30:53

me and trying to attack me, essentially.

30:58

After a couple seconds of him just letting him

31:00

loose this snarl towards the hat man, he

31:04

ends up relishing himself into

31:06

this being that I'm seeing and knocks

31:08

him back into the wall. I

31:12

immediately wake up right after that. Absolute

31:18

shock. My heart was racing.

31:21

Went out to our living room, grabbed

31:24

one of his old stuffed animals, the one that

31:26

we didn't let the new dog have, and just

31:28

held onto it and just sat there and cried

31:30

for a little bit. Thought

31:33

about all the times that he was back around

31:35

and protected us from any sort

31:37

of random noise the neighbors made or anything

31:39

like that. He

31:42

doesn't really show up in my dreams. This

31:45

is the first time where I've actually had something

31:48

within my dreams protect me during

31:50

a sleep paralysis episode. It's

31:54

almost regimented how a lot of

31:56

my experiences happen. You

31:59

wake up, you feel that's a... sense of dread, you

32:01

feel something's not right. Sometimes you'll see an

32:03

apparition in the room, or sometimes you

32:05

won't, then sometimes we'll snap out of it quickly, sometimes it'll

32:07

take a little while to get out of it, but that's

32:09

the first time I've ever had something in

32:12

there that was on my side. This

32:16

is just such an odd anomaly that

32:19

I had no doubt in my mind, in my heart,

32:21

that this was chop coming back to protect me, keep

32:23

an eye on me, and make sure my wife and

32:25

I are safe. Maybe

32:29

if I hadn't woken up so soon, I wish

32:31

I could have reached out my arm and tried

32:33

to pet him one last time and just thank

32:35

him. It's eerie, it's uncanny, but I think it's

32:37

absolutely beautiful the way it happened, and just very thankful that whatever

32:39

realm it's in, whether it's again my brain or

32:43

something maybe paranormal, that he's still around. He's

32:45

still around doing his job and doing what

32:49

he does best. Nothing's ever actually been in there

32:51

with me, but I

32:54

think it's just actually been in there with me,

32:56

protecting me, keeping an eye on me, and pushing

32:59

this certain thing I see back. It's

33:01

normally me just having to wake up. In

33:04

this case, I had shop. Well,

33:13

that's freaky, but kind of beautiful

33:15

too. I'd like to think that

33:18

Malachi and I have that kind of

33:20

bond. You'd come to me if I

33:22

were in a pinch, right Malachi? Yeah,

33:24

I guess I should have known better.

33:27

Let's take a quick break for some more abs. The

33:33

Hargan women seemed to have it all.

33:35

From the outside looking in, we were

33:37

blessed. My mom was amazing. But as

33:39

detectives would soon learn, there was a

33:41

lot going on inside the Hargan household.

33:43

Ashley and I had been calling my

33:45

mom in the house in Helen's.

33:48

No one's answering.

33:51

63-year-old Pamela Hargan gunned down in

33:53

her own home. Her youngest daughter

33:56

Helen lay dead upstairs. Patrol, when

33:58

they arrived, assumed or thought

34:00

that there might have been a murder suicide.

34:02

But for the detectives on the scene, there

34:05

were things about the scene itself that

34:08

were concerning to us on day one.

34:11

Who would want to kill their mother and their

34:13

little sister? There is no boogeyman here. It is

34:15

exactly who we think it is. In

34:19

Peter Vance's set from 48 Hours, this

34:21

is Blood is Thicker, the Hargen

34:23

Family Killings. Listen

34:25

to Blood is Thicker, the Hargen

34:28

Family Killings, wherever you get your

34:30

podcasts. Well,

34:35

these tapes have been quite harrowing today, but

34:37

let's do a little more fan mail before

34:39

you head out. Okay,

34:43

this is an odd one. Hey,

34:46

Terry, of course everyone has seen the scene

34:48

with the Ghost by the Window in the

34:50

1987 hit Ted Danson movie, Three Men and

34:52

a Baby. But I

34:54

have to ask, was that you by the

34:57

window in the less

34:59

financially successful but equally emotionally

35:01

satisfying 1990 sequel, Three

35:04

Men and a Little Lady? Or

35:07

was it just a cardboard cutout? I

35:10

need to know because I can't decide if I should

35:12

file my copy of the film in the Terry Carnation

35:14

section or the Ted Danson

35:16

section of my VHS

35:18

collection. You're truly Mike. Mike,

35:22

you have a Ted Danson section of your

35:24

VHS collection? What is in there, Mike?

35:28

A box set of Cheers and a slightly shorter

35:30

box set of Becker? A

35:33

mangled copy of Made in America? Anyway,

35:35

I regret to inform you that I am

35:37

not the ghost in the window of the

35:39

financial flop, Three Men and a Little Lady.

35:41

Had they offered me the role, I wouldn't

35:43

have taken it. I don't do sequels. But

35:46

thank you for your thought-provoking question, Mike. Take

35:49

care and get a life. Well,

35:53
