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
